Wow. I didn't know that the Wii was going to be this big. I have seen quite a few of these threads already. I highly doubt all of these people who are camping out really want the game though. I bet 35-40% of them are doing it because they think they are going to go and sell it on Ebay for 2 Grand like the Ps3.
Yeah, I just called up my local Walmart too. They said they aren't allowing people to line up till tomorrow too.
i hope 1:30pm will give me enough time.... watchout middletown NY !
i just called a local walmart and they said people would start lining up at 12:00! i wasn't planning on coming this early... but meh ill go about 11:30... with my:
DS lite
Cingular 8125
lawnchair(i might not need one as they are lining up in the gardening department!?!?!?!) i think the guy was talking sh*t because the only thing he new was that there would be more than the ps3... which was 12 consoles
Spoiler Alert!
When the hell did you get an 8125? I've had it for a bit now and absolutely love the damn thing.Originally Posted by pizzaluvr
And whoever thinks they are going to get more than $500-$600 for it on eBay is crazy. And whoever camps overnight just to make $200 is even crazier. Get a friggen job and leave the Wii's for the fans.
i just got it about a week ago on ebay for about $150 or so... it's NICE
Spoiler Alert!
How did you buy it for $150 if it's in stores for $250?Originally Posted by pizzaluvr
I got mine on eBay for $300 about 2 months ago! And that was a good deal at the time! But I don't mind, I absolutely love the damn thing.
And ladman, WTF are you doing? You made a post about that shit and now your hijacking threads with the same question? Damn noobs.
damn - I really hope I get one... It's killing me that I can't get there until 8:30p....

The Truce Hurts
Comments by: dingdog | Rating: | Posted: November 30, 2003 |
One of the PRIME ESSENTIALS among Tom & Jerry cartoons. It reminds the viewer that ALL THREE of these guys can be the culprit from time to time (actually, the bulldog is technically THE culprit here).

Comments by: James Anatidae | Rating: | Posted: August 12, 2001 |
This film seems to be well remembered as the time Tom & Jerry signed a peace treaty. Things are idyllic for a time but, predictably, it goes sour. Probably the most memorable moment was the endless fight involving a pipe, a frying pan, and a baseball bat that the two plus Butch the dog engage in at the beginning and end of the short. I enjoyed one a bunch and you should try to catch it on Cartoon Network.

What's next from the TSA? Smile. You're on Cabin Camera.
The TSA is investigating technology that would put cameras both in the cockpit and cabins of passenger aircraft so that personnel on the ground could keep an eye on things in the air. Pilots are none too happy about the idea either. They say cameras in the cockpit would infringe on their command authority, allowing someone on the ground to monitor -- and perhaps even direct -- events on board the flight. But advocates of the new system say it's another weapon in the war against terror.
The technology appears to be available. Earlier this year, Boeing equipped a 737 with seven onboard cameras. The signals were bounced off Boeing satellites and received at test centers in McLean (VA) and Seattle (WA). The cameras showed the cockpit from behind the pilots, the first class cabin and the main cabin from a variety of angles. Ground personnel were able to switch cameras at will by simply touching their computer screens. Sure, there were a few garbled pictures, but FAA Program Manager John Loynes said, "There were no insurmountable problems."
Boeing also has hand-held technology that allows someone in flight to communicate communicate back and forth with ground operators using both audio and video. But the FAA says the idea of using cameras and hand-held communicators to monitor flights in progress is a very preliminary one. A spokeswoman said there's still a lot of testing to be done and decisions to be made before the systems become a reality.
It's an idea that's been around for ten years or so. Every time it comes up, pilots rage. So far, that rage has kept cameras out of the cockpit. They complained that ground personnel could misinterpret what they see in the video images and cause problems for air crews.
But Dave Stempler, president of the Air Travelers Association, says this is an idea whose time has come. "In the old days, one of the flight crew could come out and check things out, but they can't do that anymore. These days, we want to keep the cockpit impenetrable to terrorists or hijackers."

Of all the information I've ever read, seen or heard about what's wrong with the world, the most predominant message that comes back to me time and time again, is we've lost our way because we've lost our connection to Nature, and to the 'source'.
Without that connection, mankind can never be in a state of balance or harmony. He can never be complete or whole.
It's amazing just how alive you can feel after a walk in the forest or after spending a day in the mountains or at the ocean.
If you're tuned-in enough to be able to sense that aliveness, then that feeling alone should be enough to tell you something about the importance of having mother nature in your life.
Sadly too few of us these days seem to have the time or the ability to listen to that 'energy' intuition, which is not only a shame, but a travesty that has kept Humanity on this spiraling path of self-destruction when we could be so much more.
Reconnecting with nature is not just about taking a nice walk in a forest somewhere and feeling good about it, although it's a good place to start. It's much more fundamental than that, and is about re-awakening ourselves to who we really are, as well as enabling us to take a step closer towards discovering the true nature of our existence.
Our industrialized and technological societies have separated us from the Earth (and from each other). Kids now think food comes from cans and packets. Most of us believe the meaning of life is about paying a mortgage and buying bigger and better trinkets.
People take walks in the woods nowadays as if they're visiting a manicured museum. The majority of people have now come to see the Earth as something apart from daily life while we turn a blind eye as mega-corporations rape and plunder her on a biblical scale for raw materials to make useless trinkets for us to buy, trinkets that distract us from the real reasons of our existence.
Only by stepping outside the mind-prison of modern life, by unplugging, will we ever get a glimpse of our true purpose and a hint at the true nature of our reality. Only then will we begin the journey towards truly understanding that life is not about going to work, paying bills and buying 'trinkets' to make us feel better about living our current fear-based existence.
Until that time, until we make a concerted effort to 'unplug' from our noisy, polluted, purposely distracting, consumerism-orientated world, we will never get to know our true selves, or be in a state of true balance and harmony.
I appreciate this all sounds a bit 'hippy', but many people today are starting to realise that this current reality consensus tunnel amounts to little more than a prison without bars. We think we are free, but in reality, we are merely 'free range', manipulated by an out-of-control corrupt global corporate system that most certainly doesn't have yours, mine, or the planet's best interests at heart.
…The only way back from the brink?
The bigger picture
As I've accumulated knowledge, and delved deeply into various subjects over time, I've started to become acquainted with a kind-of 'join the dots' phenomenon, where what you think is unrelated subject matter, suddenly starts connecting with information that lies within your current investigations. Sometimes this phenomenon enables you to step back and get a much bigger, more focused picture about the world and what it's all about.
It would help immensely at this stage if you were to read my article titled "The Shaman's Secret" because this is one of those moments where the joining the dots scenario truly comes into play.
It's all about energy and the 'state of being'
The theory is fairly simple; Mother Nature, and indeed - all of creation, vibrates within a certain energy frequency.
If you take that realization to the next level and go for the whole 'awakening' package deal, you'll soon start to open doors you never knew existed, and you'll get your first glimpses of reality the way you were actually supposed to see it. A reality so compelling, that if everyone got to see it, we'd all be living very different lives in a very different world.
The Journey Starts Here…
I should warn anyone who wants to engage with this particular memeplex. If you choose to take the red pill and run with the 'reconnecting to nature' thing in any serious and meaningful way, you may find yourself in a position where you will no longer be able to look at the world you thought you knew in the same way, and I mean ever again. This can be powerful Juju and it needs to be approached with due consideration, wisdom and courage.
This of course, is not for everyone. You need to be truly open-minded to be able to step through these gates and benefit in any meaningful way. If your thoughts tend to be dominated by the latest celebrity gossip, or your general conversations tend to be about the latest sports game or the soaps you watched on TV last night, then you are likely to find this stuff challenging to resonate with in any meaningful way. The same goes for those academically trained who have a tendency to become enslaved into thinking only with the left side of their brains. My experiences with those who like to label themselves as 'academics' makes me think they too are unlikely to be able to embrace this way of thinking because it will conflict with the way the establishment has indoctrinated and trained them to think in such a narrow way.
My message to anyone who fits the above description is; I would love to be proven wrong.
All life on the planet, all the plants, all the creatures, including us, have an instinct and ability to 'resonate' or exist within a natural vibrational frequency. That frequency can be referred to as our "natural state of being". For us Humans, we can access control over this state of being through our minds.
When we successfully 'connect' or 'tune-in' to the frequency that is our 'natural state of being', things can start to happen, great things, and our world changes. Everything opens up to us. We start to see the world the way we were always supposed to see it. We start to see it differently not just in the physical sense, but we start to connect with it, to feel it, to exchange energy with it, to "resonate" with it. We will start to realise that the natural universe it is a big part of us and we are not separate from it.
It's only when you are in this "natural state of being", the state you were designed to be in, and are supposed to be in, can you start to truly grasp the concepts behind the nature of our existence. At the risk of sounding like a total hippie here; when you are able to make that connection, insight can start to feed through from a naturally occurring connective gnosis, realizations can start to unfold, and you can begin to feel a sense of being alive like never before. Your sense of contentment and belonging comes into its own, fear disappears, and you feel a sense of balance and harmony, not just with the planet, but with the universe itself.
The place to start is in nature. When you've learned to connect to nature in such a deep meaningful way, you'll realize that this state of being has been denied to you. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, you had it trained out of you from a young age, but the good news is, you can learn to get it back again. All it takes is an open mind and a willingness to go back to your Human roots.
Below are some practical steps you can take to get started on the path of reconnection…
2. Eat Natures Food.
Do you really need me to spell out that eating processed and junk foods is a bad idea? Mother Nature designed you to eat the foods she provides for you, yet we shun her gifts for the refined, fatty, sugary, carcinogenic man-made crap that makes us tired, lethargic and numb.
To connect with Mother nature in any meaningful way you need a clear mind and to be in tune with your body. It is proposed that you need a clean and functioning pineal gland (see next step). Only a diet of natural life-giving foods can achieve this, and these foods are essential to your success in reconnecting.
6. Avoid Fluoride
Fluoride is a priority. If you are of the "it's purposely put into our tap water, therefore it must be good for us" mindset, then just Google "Fluoride Dangers " and spend some time reading through the articles that come back. In the meanwhile get a water filter that will remove it (regular water filters can't remove fluoride but Berkey do one that's excellent), and use a non-fluoride toothpaste.
The pineal gland in the brain is the primary target of fluoride accumulation within the body. The pineal gland is considered by many to be the antenna or 3rd eye that we use to be able to connect to the wider universal field. Descartes called it the 'seat of the soul'. Fluoride calcifies the pineal gland, and can damage you, as well as affect your ability to connect with nature.
1. Get Outside.
You'll never connect to Mother Nature from your armchair. She isn't on your TV set or on your computer monitor, in fact quite the opposite. When you are bathed in the electromagnetic radiation from these devices you are pushed even further away from her, so getting away from these unnatural environments, getting outside and physically connecting with her is vital.
A forest or wood is a good place.The oxygen-rich environment will help you.
Whenever you are in nature, stroll, sit, look, touch, smell, enjoy the messages all your senses are bringing to you. Make an effort to be in the moment and forget everything else that's going on in your life.
5. Avoid the Toxins we are Exposed to Every Day.
They are everywhere. In our food, in our homes, in our workplaces. Over time they build up in our bodies and overload our system. Fluoride is a major one (see step 6), also consider what other toxins you are exposed to in cleaning chemicals, air fresheners, cosmetics, aerosols, shower gels & shampoos, dry-cleaned clothes, fabric softeners, bleaches, toothpaste, hairspray, deodorants, moisturizers - the list is endless. Cosmetics worn on the skin are absorbed into the bloodstream. Replace everything you can with all-natural alternatives, or stop using them all together.
The benefits of connecting with nature are not just limited to the planet. When I refer to connecting with nature, I'm talking about all of nature, everywhere in the wider universe.
When you make that connection, you'll start to realise that the world is not how it's supposed to be. You'll start to understand that we Humans and Mother Nature are connected in powerful, inextricable ways, and that we are supposed to be living in symbiosis with each other, instead of plundering the planet, we're supposed to be respecting and protecting her. When you reconnect, you'll realise just how little we actually know.
3. Learn to sit still
One of the prerequisites for successful reconnection is being able to sit still and quiet and meditate with a calm mind. Everything about our society today is designed to prevent you from doing that. That's why TV camera angles have to change every few seconds, to accommodate the single digit attention span of modern audiences. Anything slow moving nowadays is unwatchable.
Work on reversing this trend and reclaim your natural ability to resonate on a much slower frequency, so you can be more in tune with mother nature.
4. Live Mindfully and learn to connect with your senses.
Living mindfully means living in the present moment. With your mind uncluttered and only focused on the task at hand, you explore your senses, noting how your feel only in that moment. This is a good life-skill to learn. By honing your ability to communicate clearly with your senses, you'll start to recognise more easily the connection you are able to make with nature.
Reconnecting to nature is about the individual finding his or her own path and connection to Mother Earth. This is just a rough guide to get you thinking. There are no hard and fast rules. Each of us must connect to nature in our own way. This is not about following a particular set of rules or seeking approval from others to make sure we are doing it right. Your experiences, and the way you connect is between you and the source.
Beware the "NEW AGE"
'Reconnecting' is about reaching back to our fundamental Human state of being while trying to shed the destructive modern day programming that encourages us away from such ideas. It has recently been suggested that the 'New Age' movement is a dangerous, manipulative, ego-based movement that is more about the mass manipulation of minds than the health of our spirit. A brief Google search will reveal strong suggestions that the 'new age' movement has hidden agendas and covert ties to Theosophy, Freemasonry and other so-called new world order movements, and should be handled with caution. Most of the well-meaning people within the New Age movement seem blissfully unaware of the potential hidden agenda behind it, and I encourage those people within the movement to start doing their own research into these allegations, and to not follow blindly, after all this is about following your own path, not subscribing to doctrine.
Living life based on fundamental Human source-connection requires no doctrine, no dogma, no leaders and no laws. Anyone who tells you otherwise will only be looking to limit, control or enslave your mind and your thoughts. Be aware of it, and be guarded against it.
I now have a YouTube channel dedicated to reconnecting, and expanding our consciousness..
The channel is about reconnecting physically, emotionally and spiritually with Nature, Earth, and the wider Universe, and expanding our consciousness. It looks into the deeper philosophical side of life and the very nature of our existence.
Only free-thinkers and the genuinely open-minded should subscribe to this channel. The scientifically and Academically-minded, those enslaved by doctrine or dogma, and the TV educated will find nothing but irritation here.

« Jennifer Hudson Duets with Prince in ChicagoBruno Mars Readies New Single 'Locked Out of Heaven' »Report: Nicki Minaj to Star in E! Reality SeriesNicki Minaj is expanding her empire. After launching her own fragrance "Pink Friday" and joining the "American Idol" judges' panel, the head Barb will reportedly star in an E! reality show. Perez Hilton reports that Nicki has signed on for her own series, joining the network's other reality stars including Kim Kardashian. The show is already in production, but E! has yet to make an official announcement. When asked about the project at her in-store signing, Nicki would not confirm, but she did hint of things to come. "I thought I'd never do something like that and I'm still considering, but I find that the more people see is the more they understand and the more they like you," she told Hilton. "If you only have such one-dimensional things to go off of, like rumors and stuff on blogs, then you kinda never get to know the artist, and when you pull them in your world, they see you as a real person and they understand everything. I'm not running away from it anymore." Her album Pink Friday…Roman Reloaded Re-Up is due in November, but don't expect pop-leaning tracks like "Starships." "It's more my mixtape feel," she said of the re-release, which will feature five to six new songs including "The Boys" with Cassie. Nicki also teased another music-related project for next year. "I do have another surprise," she said. "I'm not telling anybody anything, but that will be in 2013." You can leave a response, or trackback from your own site. 71 Comments

Letter from Otto Ringling, October 26, 1907
Otto Ringling (1858–1911) was the son of a German immigrant who, with his brothers Albert, Alfred, Charles, John, August, and Henry, created the Ringling Bros. circus empire in the late 19th century. The brothers bought the competing Barnum & Bailey Circus in 1907. They ran the circuses separately at first, but merged them in 1919 to create the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, which came to be known as "the Greatest Show on Earth." This letter, written by Otto to his brothers in October 1907, details how the assets ...
Circus Spectacle Float
This photograph depicts an elaborate spectacle float in the "backyard" of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in September 1922. The spectacle, or "spec," often opened the show and was a procession that took place around the hippodrome track inside the big top, or circus tent, featuring as many of the performers and animals as the circus director was able to costume. Traced back to the earliest circuses in America, the spec was originally a lavish performance of literary or historical tales intended to entertain and edify the audience ...
John Robinson's Circus
This 1929 photograph shows the interior of John Robinson's Circus during a spectacle, or "spec," performance of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba in Cincinnati, Ohio. In the American circus, the spec developed as a procession that took place around the hippodrome track inside the big top, or circus tent, featuring as many of the performers and animals as the circus director was able to costume. John Robinson's Circus was especially known for its dazzling productions of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, which offered a ...
Back Door Scene at the American Circus
In the American circus, the area directly behind the circus tent or arena where performers prepared for and staged their entrances through the "back door" came to be known as the "backyard." This glass-plate negative from 1928 reveals a typical backyard scene of an American circus just prior to performance of the spectacular production number. The spectacle, or "spec," was a procession that took place around the hippodrome track inside the big top, or circus tent, featuring as many of the performers and animals as the circus director was able ...
Circus Midway Scene
This 1935 photograph shows a crowd gathering on the midway of the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus, heading towards the entrance marquee tent. On the left is the painted banner line depicting freaks and attractions in the sideshow, an added fee attraction operating before the main show. On the right can be seen concession tents and ticket wagons. Visible behind the marquee entrance is the "free" menagerie tent consisting of the exhibition of exotic caged animals, elephants, and other lead stock. By the 1930s, the midway had become an important part of the ...
Cole Bros. Circus
This 1935 image presents a scene from a typical moderate-sized 20th-century American circus. A crowd watches as baggage wagons from the Cole Bros. Circus are being pulled over flatcars. The railcars are marked Clyde Beatty and Allen King, who were two of the more notable animal trainers of the period. Behind the flatcars are stock cars that held elephants and baggage horses. This scene was repeated daily, morning and night, in railroad yards in communities across the United States. Cole Bros. Circus was established in 1884 by William Washington Cole ...
Free Street Parade of the Sells-Floto Circus
This colorful lithograph advertises the upcoming street parade of the Sells-Floto Circus, promoting ticket sales to the local residents for the twice-a-day shows. The artwork captures the grandeur of the American circus parade in the 1920s. The parade is led by a rider wearing an 18th-century costume and carrying a circus banner. Behind the rider is a group of mounted horsemen, elephants in costumes worn in big production number during the show ("spec costuming"), a band, and a number of circus wagons. Several of the elephants and wagons promote the ...
Pay Off of Spec—the Good Old Times
In the American circus, the spectacle, or "spec," developed as a procession that took place around the hippodrome track inside the big top, or circus tent, featuring as many of the performers and animals as the circus director was able to costume. Traced back to the earliest circuses in America, the spec was originally a lavish performance of literary or historical tales intended to entertain and edify the audience. The costumes created for specs were often exotic, representing cultures from all corners of the globe. The costumes also could be ...
Portrait and Sketch of Alessandro Guerra
This portrait of Alessandro Guerra (1790−1862) was produced by Vincent (also called Vincenzo) Gozzini and engraved by Giovanni Paolo Lasinio around 1830, the period in which Guerra (dubbed "Il furioso" for his daring style of acrobatics on horseback) was at the height of his performing success. The rhymed couplet at the bottom of the illustration refers to Guerra's skill and his worldwide fame. A direct rival of the famous English equestrian acrobat Andrew Ducrow, Guerra was one of the most significant artists of the circus in the early ...
December 26 Program of the Ciniselli Circus
This one-page document is the very first program of the well-known Ciniselli Circus (now the Bolshoi Saint Petersburg State Circus) for a performance that took place on Monday, December 26, 1877. Four acts were by members of Ciniselli family. Nearly all other acts were by famous performers from abroad, for example, German equestrienne Oceana Renz and the Italian clown Tanti. Following a musical opening, the circus featured a total of 15 acts, with a ten-minute intermission. The acts included horses, clowns, gymnastics, and music. The Ciniselli Circus was founded in ...
Gaetano Ciniselli
Italian-born Gaetano Ciniselli (1815−81) was the head of a large circus family, a circus equestrian, and a horse trainer who was taught by the famous French riding master François Baucher (1796−1873). He achieved fame throughout Europe and in 1877 founded and became director of the Ciniselli Circus in Saint Petersburg, which was housed in the first stone structure in Russia purpose-built for circus. He brought to the Saint Petersburg public all of the best performers and pantomimes of Europe. This portrait of Ciniselli was taken by Charles Bergamasco ...
Liberty Act by Gaetano Ciniselli
Italian-born Gaetano Ciniselli (1815−81) was a circus equestrian and horse trainer who in 1877 founded the Ciniselli Circus (now the Bolshoi Saint Petersburg State Circus). The circus was housed in the first stone structure in Russia purpose-built for circus. In this painting, Ciniselli is shown performing the liberty horse act, which was an invariable part of the circus program until his death in 1881. The term "liberty horse act" refers to an act in which the horses are directed with verbal commands and are not mounted or held by ...
Ciniselli Circus Water Pantomime
This poster by an unknown artist is devoted to the Ciniselli Circus water pantomime (probably The Four Elements). Produced in Berlin by the firm Dinse & Eckert, the picture is a colored lithograph with the letters written in gold. The water pantomime was performed for the first time in Russia in 1892. In The Four Elements, water rushed down in a cascade and fountains gushed out in different places of the arena. Deer, elephants, and horses with riders swam in the arena lake. Pantomime, an art form in which the story ...
Rules of Conduct for the Ciniselli Circus
This placard contains the rules of conduct for the Ciniselli Circus in Saint Petersburg set by the management. Issued on January 10, 1891, the rules were published in two languages: French and German. The choice of languages, combined with circus programs of the period, demonstrates that nearly all the performers in the circus came from abroad. The 18 points regulated the lives of circus personnel. Performers and staff were required to attend all rehearsals and to take care of their equipment and costumes; everyone was required to be ready at ...
Liberty Act by Scipione Ciniselli
This black and white lithograph of 1900 depicts Scipione Ciniselli, director of the Ciniselli Circus (now the Bolshoi Saint Petersburg State Circus), and his twelve liberty horses in the final act of the performance. The term "liberty horse act" refers to an act in which the horses are directed with verbal commands and are not mounted or held by reins; the horses are "at liberty." Scipione was the son of Gaetano Ciniselli, who founded the circus in 1877. Following Gaetano's death in 1881, leadership of the circus passed first ...
Interior of the New Ciniselli Circus
This lithograph of 1878 shows the interior of the Ciniselli Circus (now the Bolshoi Saint Petersburg State Circus), which opened on December 26, 1877. The decor of the auditorium of the circus was luxurious. The crimson velvet of the armchairs was complemented by gold, mirrors, and crystal chandeliers. The dome was covered with canvas showing floral ornaments and equestrian scenes. The boxes and stalls could seat 1,500 people, but the auditorium was designed to accommodate up to 5,000 people by using the spacious standing gallery. The features of ...

As Americans pause to mark the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, they should not overlook the other fateful assassination that took place that same month. On November 2, 1963, South Vietnam's President Ngo Dinh Diem was murdered in Saigon in a coup carried out by a group of generals operating with the tacit approval of the U.S. government.
Historians agree that the coup marked a turning point in America's involvement in Vietnam. The coup was the hinge by which U.S. policy swung from nation building to military intervention, from limited support for the Diem regime to a new role of propping up weak military governments, and from an advisory role to a more active one that eventually led to a U.S. takeover of the war.
The importance of the coup as a turning point in Vietnam has provoked a long-running debate about who on the American side was responsible for it and why U.S. leaders thought it was a risk worth taking to topple the established government in that country. Some still view it as a standard Cold War coup undertaken independently by the CIA. Others blame President Kennedy for allowing it to go forward, while still others place the blame on subordinates in Saigon who pressed the military to eliminate Diem without consulting the White House. Like other important events of that era, the assassination of Diem remains shrouded in controversy.
Tapes of White House conversations now available through the Kennedy library in Boston and recently released documents from the State Department provide the information needed to answer most of these questions. The assassination and overthrow of Diem was the culmination of a two-year clash within the Kennedy administration between officials who thought the war could be won with conventional tactics (supporters of Diem) and those who advocated a coup as an opening for a new strategy of counterinsurgency. Kennedy followed developments in Saigon until the eleventh hour and chose not to oppose the coup. The episode foreshadowed a strategic debate that would continue within the U.S. government throughout the Vietnam conflict and in some respects continues to this day.
In 1961, the Bureau of Intelligence and Research in the State Department, led by Roger Hilsman with the support of senior officials George Ball and Averell Harriman, began to issue reports that called Diem's leadership into question. These reports claimed that Diem was too unpopular and autocratic to head a government whose mission was to win the support of the people of South Vietnam. By early 1962, these advisers were pressing for a counterinsurgency strategy in opposition to the conventional strategy supported by the Pentagon.
The conventional strategy focused on blocking infiltration routes and supply lines and protecting key assets, such as major cities, military bases, and transportation routes. The counterinsurgency strategy emphasized intelligence operations to identify Communist infrastructure and the use of American advisers to help the Diem government win support among the peasants through "strategic hamlets," a program designed to deliver services to peasants while isolating them from Communist insurgents.
The clash between the two approaches was rooted in different conceptions of the war. The proponents of conventional tactics, including Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and head of the CIA John McCone, saw it as an invasion supported and supplied by North Vietnam. Diem, agreeing with this assessment, wanted to attack North Vietnam while delaying political reform until the war was won. The proponents of counter-insurgency saw the conflict as a domestic insurrection caused by the unpopularity and lack of inclusiveness of the Diem government. The only way to defeat the insurgency, they argued, was to win the "hearts and minds" of the peasants by creating a government they could support. Diem was both ineffective and unpopular—and thus they concluded that he had to go.
Kennedy supported the alliance with Diem because he saw no popular alternative. Vice President Lyndon Johnson, though reluctant to join the debate, was also in this camp. Diem had been something of a hero to the nationalist cause in South Vietnam because of his role in opposing the French and establishing an independent national government. Though corrupt and authoritarian in his methods and a Catholic in a country with a majority Buddhist population, Diem had standing that no other potential leader could claim. For this reason, Kennedy was reluctant to throw him over for an untested alternative.

And, fellow Desk F@%ker Terence Jou requested some more drawings from the box. Here we go!
Do you have an old talent you forgot?
Last week I talked about the simple notion that you need to know yourself before you will know your path.
I find most of us in this culture define ourselves by what we do for a living, so after leaving what I did for a living I find myself wondering — well then, who am I? Or, who was I? I remembered a small box I taped shut real tight after university and put in storage.
Last night I crawled deep into the crawlspace and pulled it out.
Inside, under the cat, there are some clues about my past. I flipped through them like an alien keen on observing myself: JK report cards that describe me singing my heart out in the singing circle, awkward class photos from grade school with messy hair and lasers in the backdrop, and a journal from 1996 in which my personality resembles a real life Lisa Simpson. (Complete with plans to set up a recycling program at the corner bakery and save the dolphins.)
This journal from 1996 disappeared in a robbery when my family and I moved to the city in 2001, and all my journals from elementary and high school went with it. Except this one came back.
Someone found it a year later and mailed it to my old address in suburbia. How they found my address I'll never know. I've kept this journal packed away for the past 10 years, afraid of what silly, angsty writing I'd find inside. I was afraid of who I was.
The other night I cracked the journal open for the first time since I wrote it, and I've been reading it out loud to Danny in the evenings. Turns out I wasn't the big loser I thought I was. I was oddly funny, and head-shakingly intuitive and advanced for a child. There are humorous accounts of daily life on the playground, and deep musings about true friendship and family. I describe the bullying in grade 8 as "emotional abuse", and how on bad days I feel depressed and "vacant". How would a 13 year old know the word vacant?
13 year old me was an outsider but had a 4-person crew of picked-on misfits. I played bass guitar, got straight A's, obsessed over Jim Carrey, loved the Smashing Pumpkins, watched science shows, had a knack for art, loved animals and nature, and wrote every day.
I struggled with my self-confidence, teetering in 1996 between wanting to fit in but wanting to be myself, and like most kids I got picked on.
(EXHIBIT A: A few gems in my home-made yearbook that year. Note his detailed depiction of my Italian heritage upper lip hair that puberty had bestowed on me and the electric shaver pictured beside it.)
Kids, huh?
Anyway, I'm happy to learn the 13 year old me is actually a critical little thinker who had no problem calling people out on their crap, at least in her journal. I find her fascinating at this period — she writes angrily into her diary when she and her friends get picked on, has meaningful relationships with her pals, babysits her 6 year old sister, runs track, does her own laundry, makes dinner sometimes, and in just a few more pages she'll graduate elementary school.
She's cooler than she thought she was.
I poke around the dusty box a little more. From high school there's only some bad poetry, then some good poetry, a day planner with hearts around my first boyfriend's name, some photos of me as a hippy, a few letters from old classmates folded into cool origami, notes from my best friend, soccer team photos, and the rest is gone.
That time was all about following my own path with my best pal and not caring what anyone else thought. It was all love, flowers, soccer, music, horse riding, the Monkees, the Beatles, art, drama, sticking it to the suburban man, turning heads on the bus ride to the mall.
And happily not giving a flipping fuck.
Fast forward to a week before university submissions were due. On a visit to the city I drove by a film set in front of Union Station and a lightbulb went off. — Yes! — Off I went to learn how to make radio and TV.
The university years were jam packed with change.
From then, I have a few tokens in the box. There's this cool scrapbook with fun notes and drawings I made:
And then there's a stack of lined notebooks that describe the most transitional years of my adult life including epic breakups, leaving my friends, moving to a new city, getting robbed of everything, September 11th, adjusting to university, battling anxiety, getting over an eating disorder, struggling through work and school, trying to make new friends, keeping straight A's, watching my family fall apart, internalizing my parent's divorce, struggling with living at home, and everything else that went on before I graduated and left for Europe without much of a plan to start my adult life.
It's brilliant. And I forgot how little credit I gave myself.
I'm so much different at 29 and growing fast every year. I'm wiser, stronger, happier. There's balance. Yet there's something great about looking back, even to the hard times, to see who I was and what I was thinking, and show myself some love.
Maybe other people would toss this stuff out.
But I like that I can see where my path was before my career, where my attitudes came from, why friendships failed or worked, and why I had a hard time hearing my inner voice.
Knowing how I got in my own way will help me get out of it.
As for the rest of the box:
It's super fun looking way back.
You know, to those formative years, where, sure, you thought the California Raisins really did sing Heard It Through The Grapevine, whatever, but your inborn talents and interests were pure, weren't they?
What did you do when you ate crackers and drank juice and ran around doing whatever on earth you felt like?
When's the last time you felt that authentic?
Do you believe the feeling disappears with responsibilities and a job? With kids and family?
I've seen all kinds of different attitudes. Lately, with this blog, I've had a tremendous opportunity to meet many happy examples of people whose happiness comes from inside and being aligned to what they do. Being led by their hearts and values makes even the big obstacles just part of being amazing.
They know who they are.
So who are you?
It's never too late to really ask.

BU fraternity suspended after NH student's death
Tony Barksdale II, a freshman who graduated from Souhegan High School in Amherst, N.H., last year, was rushed to the hospital after being found unconscious in an off-campus apartment early Saturday. He died a few hours later.
Boston University Dean of Students Kenneth Elmore told university website BU Today that the Sigma Alpha Mu chapter's suspension followed "reports of underage drinking and severe intoxication" at an unregistered off-campus fraternity event.
Elmore said the fraternity's national organization has also suspended the BU chapter after the death of Barksdale.
"We need to find out what happened on Friday evening and determine if there was a policy violation and how bad that violation may have been," Sigma Alpha Mu national executive director Leland Manders told BU Today. "We will work in partnership with the university offices to determine if the chapter can continue in the future and under what circumstances it continues."

Let nobody accuse me of burying the lede:
Wenger on Oxlade-Chamberlain: "He will be out for at least six weeks. We don't think he will need surgery." #afc
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's injury is seemingly not season-ending or next-calendar-year bad, as we'd all feared it might be. Six weeks is a lot, but considering that "next season" was bandied about as a return date, I'll take it.
Six weeks without Ox, six weeks without Arteta. My beer-as-coping-mechanism budget just went through the damn roof. So, Arsenal still look for players, Arsenal still have games to play, and the only change here is that the prognosis is better than it was. Given the spate of bad news and general ugliness around Arsenal these days, I'll take any green shoot that cares to poke its head up through the dirt at this point.

NEW HANOVER COUNTY, N.C. – Education advocates are giving parents and teachers the tools to fight for a better education for their students. The North Carolina Justice Center's Education and Law Project is hosting a training program in New Hanover County. The group is focusing on the message that every child deserves a high quality education. For Chris Hill, with the NC Justice Center, this project is all about empowering parents and arming them with education. One topic, letting them know the Personalized Education Plan has changed.
"They no longer have to wait till the end of grade testing before they can advocate for their child to get a plan so they can succeed academically. In fact it is the responsibility of the teacher," said Hill.
For parents like Sonya Bennetone, they are at the meeting to learn how to get involved. Over the past year re-segregation in the schools is an issue drawing major concerns.
"The answers I am looking for is how can parents advocate their rights and how can I assist other parents that may not know their rights. How they can advocate for their child therefore they can work with the school system and their teachers to better help the school system," said Bennetone.
Hill said a study done in Maryland shows the achievement gap closes when minority students have access to influential peers.
The state's multi-billion dollar budget deficit is also causing a big concern. According to the state's Public Schools Budget, if schools saw a 5 percent reduction, funding for school technology would be gone along with the dropout prevention and teachers would see an almost 7 percent reductions.
"We want excellent education and that isn't going to happen with re-segregation or cutting funding for education," said Hill.
According to the Department of Public Instruction Public School budgets have been cut for three consecutive years.

FUNC MS-3 Gaming Mouse Reviewby Stuart Kerley - 28th February 2013 |
FUNC MS-3 Gaming Mouse ReviewFUNC, a Californian based company, recently went through a bit of a revamp and revival. Having been relatively quiet for a number of years toward the end of 2012 they re-launched with a new range of gameplay surfaces the Surface 1030. Packaging and BundleFUNC package the MS-3 in a medium size white box, which like the rest of their product range is reasonably plain on the front cover. Flipping the box over we find a large graphic of the MS-3 along with a highlight of the key features of the mouse. The box in which the MS-3 is supplied has a flip cover on the front, allowing us to see the mouse as it is housed in a clear plastic sleeve. It is here we get our first glimpse of the MS-3, and that it is a considerable size. Provided along with the mouse we have a driver and software disc and a product manual. It is nice to see a software disc as most companies these days just refer the consumer to their website where we have to download the latest drivers and configuration software. |

Nebraska State Fair - Expired Event |
Location | Fonner Park 700 East Stolley Park Road Grand Island, NE 68801 |
Dates |
Description: | The Nebraska State Fair is an annual, 11-day, event that is held at the end of August through early September, ending on Labor Day. The fair is held at Fonner Park in Grand Island, NE, following a recent move from its previous host city of 109 years, Lincoln, NE. In 2008, the Nebraska Legislature voted to move The Nebraska State Fair to Grand Island. Groundbreaking for construction at the Grand Island site occurred in July of 2009. The 2009 Fair was the last Fair held in Lincoln. In just thirteen months, The Nebraska State Fair sorted through 109 years of accumulated items, constructed seven new buildings, moved 90 miles to the west, and planned the 2010 Fair. The 2010 Nebraska State Fair was the first Fair held in the new host city of Grand Island. The Nebraska State Fair has now celebrated two successful Fairs at the new fairgrounds. The 2010 and 2011 Fairs have been amongst the highest ranked fairs, in terms of quality and customer satisfaction, in the Fair's history. The Nebraska State Fair does not own the land in which the Fair is held. It occupies and maintains the fairgrounds for just two months out of the year (August and September). In preparation for the fair, The Nebraska State Fair staff moves onto the fairgrounds 30 days before the event and transforms the area into a venue unlike any other in the state. The Fair is held for 11 days, ending on Labor Day. The remainder of September is used for clean-up. The Nebraska State Fair offers insights into the unique culture of Nebraska. It is built on 143 years of tradition. It showcases the talent, products and people of Nebraska. Nebraskans can come together to experience the latest technological advancements in agriculture, first-class entertainment and the most delectable and extraordinary food the state has to offer. The Nebraska State Fair includes a competitive livestock exhibition, a farming equipment trade show, and competitions in other fields, such as handmade crafts and baked goods. Mission Statement: The Nebraska State Fair is a celebration showcasing Nebraska's excellence in agriculture, industry, commerce, education, arts, sciences, and technology. It reinforces a sense of community and shared culture for the citizens of Nebraska. | ||

Mick McCabe: Drop-step move propels U-D Jesuit in boys basketball regionals
'They tried to trap down on me, but we've been working in practice on drop steps, up-and-unders, because they're very good at blocking shots,' Mutebi said. 'I was just thinking about scoring the basket. I didn't know how much time there was, I just knew that if I put the ball in, we'll get a stop on defense and then win the game.'

Assuming that the character is named after the flower, the correct spelling would be Azalea. Is there any evidence that it's spelled Azalia, or was that a misspelling based on hearing the name spoken? -- Danny (talk) 06:47, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
- There's no on-screen text for her name, so I'd be fine with moving it to match the flower. -- Andrew Leal (talk) 06:49, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We have two kids at D'Evelyn and they have really excelled. Yes they work hard and it appears to have bostered their own self-esteem. Their attitudes are terrific, excited about learning and working hard ... ignited their competitive spirits. It is a competitive world out there and for them this is good preparation.
I really do not know who is writing all these reviews, but I guarantee they are rigged like everything else in this school. My child is in 8th grade and I cannot wait to get her out of this place. She has had some good teachers but she has had some awful teachers. The ineffective teachers in this school are lazy, burned out, and only here for a free ride. This school is ONLY interested in test scores! There is no interest in developing the entire person. The homework load is from the time they get home until they go to bed. Homework is also loaded up on the weekends. Yes, this school does have good test scores, but at what price? If you want a positive educational experience for your child, pass this place up.They will be burned out by college, many are.
I've been a student here since 7th grade and am now a Junior. D'Evelyn is the absolute best thing that could have happened to me! Yeah, I'm sometimes jealous of some of my friends from other 'easier' schools; but I would never want to trade places with any of them now that we're all starting to look at colleges. If you're fortunate enough to get 'lotteried' in here, you will definitely walk away with an AMAZING education when it's all said and done! As for the few sour grapes below; in the 4-plus years I've been here, the D'Evelyn faculty have always been very respectful and fair to me and all of my friends. As for the students, I'm very proud to say that we're among the nicest, most helpful people you'll find ANYWHERE!!!
Best school in the district, and one of the best in the country for a public school. Even if your child does not make it to higher education, every lesson taught there is a positive thing stays with them for life .
D'Evelyn will definitely prepare you for college and encourages you to be whatever you want to be. The vast majority of the teachers are great, they offer help and make sure you understand the topic. Sure, we have alot of homework. But you can get alot of it done in a study period at the end of the day, and its really not that bad. However I agree some people below me, the administration is unorganized and too overpowering. Our assistant principles tend to pick 'favorites.' Administrative staff cannot seem to listen, if you have to talk to them about something. And you can be criticized. Lack of communication between the school and parents can be a problem too. Also, students are not given alot of independence. Upperclassmen are not too friendly to the lower, especially Jr. High. But otherwise D'Evelyn is a challenging but rewarding school.
Most of the teachers are good to excellent and buy into the concept of challenging students to live up to thier potential. All three of our kids received college scholarships to top schools due to their high school preparation.
The academics at this school are superb. The biggest problem is with the current principal who singles out and bullies students and treats them like they belong in a correctional facility, not like the hard working, over acheivers they tend to be. This creates serious attitude problems within the school. Difficulties tend to be of the lesser variety such as dress code violations, which are met with punishment not fitting the infringement. If you want your child only to get a good education, this is a great school. If you want your child to get an education and enjoy school, pick another one. This one instills good work ethics but leaves the student with many bad memories of their high school years.
My Daughter attends D'Evelyn. She was fortunate enough to get picked through the lottery as an eighth grader and is in her second year. Before D'Evelyn she attended a small private school. The transition has been seamless. Academic load and student pride remains high, if not higher. Do not be fooled by the rumors that these kids are 'Nerds'. They bully larger schools on every court and field in Colorado, as evidenced by CHSAA, the District and State Championships that they have won in their young existance. Any parent who would not want this high standard of Excellence for their child both in the classroom and in extra curricular activities has to be nuts. I for one am grateful for the structure for which the school is ran, including the strict disipline. It simply is the best Junior/Senior High School in Colorado.
I am a D'Evelyn parent and I have to agree with the posting from December 27, 2008. Both my children received an excellent education, were well prepared for college, and received scholarships. I am glad they went there, but as stated the atmosphere in the school could be improved greatly! The conservative Christian majority of the school tend to run things. There used to be a 'diversity' club; no more. My own children were criticized by other students because they believed in evolution, harassed because of their political beliefs and at times made to feel unwelcome. For the most part the teachers are great; think the administration could do better.
I am a parent of four children that have attended D'Evelyn and I couldn't be happier. The best thing about the school is that it fosters a good work ethic. There is a lot of homework but since almost all of the students are college bound most students do the work. That makes for interesting dicussions in class where most participate. It really prepares the students for college. Many other schools have poor participation both by parents and by students but that isn't true at DHS. The amazing thing is that even though it is a lottery school (it doesn't get to select the smart kids like IB) we still have the top ACT score in the state, but we also had the top track and field runner last year (Kevin Williams). This year we have won the 4A golf finals and were in the final four for the state football.
I am a D'Evelyn parent and I love most everything about the school. Great student body, great administration, many great teachers! Sports and extra-curriculars do not suffer from the academic rigor, and enhance the overall educational experience. I have to comment on the perceived 'lack of diversity' commented on by previous reviewers. This is a lottery school, and a public school, it cannot favor students based on religious beliefs, nor can it push a particular religion. All students and parents are welcome to participate. The 'overpowered administration' is actually overseen by a steering committee and a very strict series of rules and regulations which were part of the school's charter. The lottery system makes this school difficult to get into. One would think Jefferson County would see the results of this program and model more schools after it, so that more students would have access to this level of excellence.
I am a teacher at D'Evelyn. I have never worked in a school with a better prepared and knowledgable staff. Most of the staff is also continually striving to improve their teaching and their knowledge base. Our students graduate extremely well prepared for college if they put forth an effort to succeed. There is a lot of homework but it pays off. We have very strong languages, arts, music and theater. Many of our athletes also participate in these activities. Our athletic program is successful and as a smaller school, a greater percentage of kids get to participate. I have taught at several other schools and D'Evelyn is by far the best place I have taught. The facility is outstanding, the kids are great and I feel I am a part of an intellectually exciting and caring community. I plan to be here until I retire.
I am an extremely happy camper. Both of my kids went to the elementary feeder school, Dennison. We experienced no hazing in the junior high/middle school years and my kids feel (felt) welcome and safe every day. The school has a closed campus, so kids are not out getting into trouble on their lunch hours. The teaching staff is very talented and cares about their students greatly. There are plenty of resources at the school for kids that fall behind or are having trouble grasping a subject. My family has not really experienced any of the conservative christian influence mentioned in other reveiws nor have we had to listen to the global warming/save the planet fanatics on the other side of the political isle. We consider that a positive on both counts. If you can get in to D'Evelyn, go for it! It's a private school education at public school prices.
I am a D'Evelyn alumni, and thought the curriculum was first rate, the teachers are great, and the sports and extra-curricular activities are a great place to mature as an adolescent. However, the overpowered administration creates an oppressive atmosphere, and struggling students are often ignored and discouraged from attending the school. Furthermore, the Christian Conservative demographic dominates all aspects of the school, and creates a uniform atmosphere in which diversity is hard to come by. Great school, terrible environment.
I am a student at Develyn and I love it. Although there is a lot of homework the nice atmosphere and teachers creates a great learning area for seventh greaders and 12 greaders. Develyn is great for preparing students for the exciting world of college.
D'Evelyn is helping me so much with college. When I was in High School I felt like a lot of pressure and work was put on me that other students didn't have in Jeffco. Now as I am more than a month into college, I am finding that I excel over other students and that I am not working nearly as hard as them to keep up.
Bottoms up D'Evelyn is one of the best schools in the state! The kids there are polite and are not rude like some of the kids at schools in lakewood like Lakewood High school. My son went to Lakewood and it was the biggest mistake i have ever made!!!
We are proud to be the D'Evelyn Nerds!! The kids are like any other school. You have the kids who dont and wont ever do homework, and the extremely talented sports people, and the extreme nerds. The kids dress like normal kids. We have a great volleyball program, sucessful football team and so much more. I didnt chose to go here but now I wouldnt leave if I had to. It is a big adjustment but the teachers are willing to help you anytime. Seniors often help kids also which is nice because it is sometimes easier to learn from someone who is more your age!
If you want an amazing education for your child, and are fortunate enough to get picked in the lottery, this is best school around! Since they teach 7th thru 12th graders, there is a seamless transition in the school's curriculum that isn't usually seen in other schools. The students are very well behaved and generally understand that their hard work now will pay off later on in life. And the teachers are truly dedicated to the students they work with! (A blessing indeed) It is not about how smart your child currently is, but more about how willing they are to do the work. Highly recommended!
