I grew up watching the Television Series Grizzly Adams and just loved it. I feel it was the building block of how I view Nature these days. I cherish that I was able to locate the entire series on DVD on the web for sale and add it to my collection. Confident it is not the very best of top quality but it brings back so a lot of memories of my childhood and watching it with my loved ones, I'm just happy to have it for sentimental causes. They don't make series like this anymore and that is sad.. This song "Wear the Sun in your Heart" and "Possibly" by Thom Pace are just fantastic in there meanings I in no way get sick of hearing them.. Song Lyrics: You have no room for the life you're leadin' anymore Get away, get away, the path is open Leave the burdens of a world you never knew behind Wear the sun in your heart Hey, Stormy climate, which way you traveling these days? Hey, Let me know! I'll go the other way Cause you know I left my troubles long ago, Now I'm free And you know with all that freedom there's a pain haunting me As the clouds move in your worries have all gone Thunder, thunder calls out your name And as the rain falls it will cleanse your tired soul Wear the sun in your heart Evening calls you although the canyons far away Alone, alone your globe begins By way of misty forests life is waiting just for you Wear the sun in your heart Wear the sun in your heart Wear the sun in your heart Wear the sun in your heart Wear the sun in your heart Some information on Thom Pace and the show Grizzly Adams: Thom Pace (born Thomas M …

Kaffir (racial term)
The word kaffir was used in the former South Africa to refer to a black person. Now an offensive ethnic slur, it was formerly a neutral term for South African blacks.
The word is derived from the Arabic term kafir (meaning 'infidel'), which originally had the meaning 'one who conceals [the truth]'.[1]
Portuguese explorers adopted the term to refer to black non-Muslim peoples when they became involved in the Arab slave trade along the coast of East Africa. Later, other European traders also adopted its use.[2]
Variations of the word were used in English, Dutch and, later, Afrikaans, from the 16th century to the early 20th century as a general term for several different peoples of southern Africa. In Portuguese the equivalent cafre was used. The term acquired a distinctly derogatory meaning in the context of South African history, especially during the Apartheid era.
In South Africa today, the term is regarded as highly racially offensive, in the same way as "nigger" in the United States and other English-speaking countries. It is seldom used as an isolated insult, but rather is used systematically by openly racist individuals when talking about black people, and as such was very common in the apartheid era. Use of the word has been actionable in South African courts since at least 1976 under the offense of crimen injuria: "the unlawful, intentional and serious violation of the dignity of another".[3]
Kaffir is derived from the Arabic word (Arabic: كافر) that is usually translated into English as "non-believer", i.e. a non-Muslim. The word was originally applied to non-Muslim black peoples encountered along the Swahili coast by Arab traders. Portuguese national poet Camões used the plural form of the term (cafres) in the fifth canto of his 1572 poem Os Lusíadas. This interpretation was probably passed on to other European settlers and explorers.
The word kāfir is the active participle of the Semitic root K-F-R "to cover" or "non-believer". As a pre-Islamic term, it described farmers burying seeds in the ground, covering them with soil while planting. Thus, the word kāfir implies the meaning "a person who hides or covers". In Islamic parlance, a kāfir is a person who rejects Islamic faith, i.e. "hides or covers [viz., the truth]".[citation needed]
Potential Zulu origin[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (December 2013) |
One implausible theory holds that in southern Africa the word was originally used by the Zulu King uShaka to refer to the white settlers as "amakhafola" meaning people that have been spat out, as he thought the settlers were spat out by the sea. The Zulu peoples pronounce the letter "r" as "l". On learning this the settlers changed "amakhafola" to "amakhafora", and used it to describe the indigenous peoples. This is highly unlikely, as this use would have postdated the presence of Islam, and hence the use of the word "Kaffir" for unbeliever, in South Africa.
Historical usage[edit]
Early English[edit]
The works of Richard Hakluyt[4] contains an early written use of the term in English. He writes: calling them Cafars and Gawars, which is, infidels or disbelievers.[5] He refers to the slaves (slaves called Cafari) and inhabitants of Ethiopia (and they use to go in small shippes, and trade with the Cafars) by two different but similar names. The word is also used in reference to the coast of Africa (land of Cafraria).[6] On early European maps of the 16th and 17th centuries, southern Africa was called by cartographers Cafreria.
Colonial period[edit]
The word was used to describe all black people in the region, excluding the San and Khoi Khoi, at the time of Europeans' first contact with them. This included many ethnic groups, such as the Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Tswana and others. The pidgin language developed for whites to communicate with these people, Fanagalo, was sometimes called "Kitchen Kaffir". The term was also used by early Boer trek farmers to describe a person not converted to Christianity, similar to the Arabic meaning.[citation needed]
The word was used officially in this way, without derogatory connotations, during the Dutch and British colonial periods until the early twentieth century. It appears in many historical accounts by anthropologists, missionaries and other observers, as well as in academic writings. For example, the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford originally labeled many African artifacts as "Kaffir" in origin. The 1911 Encyclopaedia Britannica made frequent use of the term, to the extent of having an article of that title.[7]
Occasionally, the word was used to refer specifically to the Xhosa people, as in such inoffensive linguistic works as interpreter Bud' Mbelle's 'Kafir Scholar's Companion', Kropf's 'Kaffir-English Dictionary', J. Torrend's 'Outline of Xosa-Kafir Grammar', and J. McLaren's 'Introductory Kaffir Grammar', where a distinction was made between the 'Kaffir' Xhosa and the other Bantu tribes of Southern Africa; Bud' Mbelle was himself a member of the Mfengu tribe, closely related to the Xhosa and Zulu people. More recent editions of both of these works have had their names sanitised by current standards, and the word 'Kaffir' has been replaced by the word 'Xhosa' wherever deemed necessary, especially in the case of the 'Revised Kaffir Bible' - a translation of the Bible into the Xhosa language. British Kaffraria was a colony in the Eastern Cape.
The term Kaffirs has been used since the mid-1800s on the London Stock Exchange to refer to South African mining shares.
Apartheid-era South Africa[edit]
During the 20th century, the word gradually took on negative connotations. By 1976, its use was actionable in court in South Africa. On a number of occasions the use of the term Kaffir led directly to violence or even death, as in the case of Almond Nofomela. While working as an undercover policeman during the early 1980s, Nofomela stabbed and killed a farmer after being allegedly called a kaffir.[8]
The Afrikaans term Kaffir-boetie (English: Kafir brother) was also often used to describe a white person who fraternised with or sympathized with the cause of the black community.[9][10]
Much like in South Africa the term was used as a general derogatory reference to blacks. A 2003 report by the Namibian Labour Resource and Research Institute states:[11]
Kaffir in the Namibian context was a derogatory term which mainly referred to blacks in general but more particularly to black workers as people who do not have any rights and who should also not expect any benefits except favours which bosses ('baas') could show at their own discretion.
Modern usage[edit]
Post-apartheid South Africa[edit]
In 2000, the parliament of South African enacted Act No. 4 of 2000: Promotion of Equality and Prevention of Unfair Discrimination Act.[12] that contains the following clause relating to hate speech:
10. (1) Subject to the proviso in section 12. no person may publish, propagate, advocate or communicate words based on one or more of the prohibited grounds, against any person, that could reasonably be construed to demonstrate a clear intention to -
(a) be hurtful;
(b) be harmful or to incite harm;
(c) promote or propagate hatred.
Though the Act does not list any specific words, it is generally understood to restrict the use of the words kaffir, koelie, hotnot, meid and other derogatory racial terms.[13]
Notwithstanding the end of Apartheid and the above mentioned Act, use of the word continues today.
In February 2008 there was huge media and public outcry in South Africa after Irvin Khoza, then chairperson of the 2010 FIFA World Cup organizing committee, used the term during a press briefing in reference to a journalist.[14][15][16][17]
A statement made during the March 5, 2008 sitting of the South African Parliament shows how the usage of the word is seen today:[18]
We should take care not to use derogatory words that were used to demean black persons in this country. Words such as 'Kaffir', 'coolie', 'Boesman', 'hotnot' and many others have negative connotations and remain offensive as they were used to degrade, undermine and strip South Africans of their humanity and dignity.
The phrase 'the K-word' is now often used to avoid using the word 'kaffir' itself, similar to 'the N-word', used to represent "nigger".
Recently the word "Kaffir" has been used as slang in a shortened version "Kaff" and it gained a new meaning (uncivilized behavior or person) in the same way the word "Ratchet" is used in the United States. This particular use of the word is common amongst youngsters of the Western Cape Province in South Africa.
Some indicative examples:
- At the start of the 1946 Sherlock Holmes film Terror by Night, the narrator speaks of a famous diamond "First touched by the fingers of the humble kaffir..." while a black man is shown picking up a stone from the ground.
- Kaffir is the title of a 1995 hit song by the black Johannesburg Kwaito artist Arthur Mafokate. The lyrics say, "I don't come from the devil, don't call me a kaffir, you won't like it if I call you baboon". This song is considered one of the very first hits of the Kwaito genre, and is said to have set precedent for the post-apartheid generation struggle of combining dance music with the new phenomenon of freedom of expression in South Africa.[19]
- Kaffir Boy is the title of Mark Mathabane's autobiography, who grew up in the township of Alexandra, travelled to the United States on a tennis scholarship, and became a successful author in his adoptive homeland.
- In the film Lethal Weapon 2, South African criminal Arjen Rudd (played by Joss Ackland), his colleague Pieter Vorstedt (played by Derrick O'Connor) and their followers frequently refer to Danny Glover's character Roger Murtaugh, who is African American, as a "kaffir". His partner Detective Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) is referred to as a "kaffir-lover". At the end of the movie when Riggs and Murtaugh kill off the bad guys (who were smuggling illicit drugs hidden in coffee), Murtaugh says they were "de-kaffirnated."
- South African cricket players complained that they were racially abused by some spectators during a December 2005 Test match against host country Australia held in Perth. Makhaya Ntini, a black player in the team, was taunted with the word "kaffir". Other white and coloured players were subjected to shouts of kaffirboetie, an Afrikaans term which means "brother of a kaffir". Ntini said he could not tell whether the abuse was coming from Australians or South African emigres living in Perth.[citation needed]
- Australian tennis player Brydan Klein was fined $16,000 following a qualifying match at the Eastbourne International, June 2009, for unsportsmanlike conduct after allegedly calling his South African opponent, Raven Klaasen, a "kaffir."[20]
- In the film The Wild Geese (1978), Peter Kotzee (played by Hardy Kruger) explains to his fellow officers, "We have blacks in South Africa. We call them Kaffirs which is just like you calling them niggers. I don't particularly like them but I don't like killing them."
- In the film Blood Diamond (2006), Leonardo DiCaprio's character Danny Archer refers to Djimon Hounsou's character Solomon Vandy as a Kaffir, which triggers the start of a vicious fistfight.[21]
Sri Lankan Kaffirs[edit]
This section does not cite any references or sources. (December 2013) |
The Sri Lanka Kaffirs are an ethnic group in Sri Lanka who are partially descended from 16th century Portuguese traders and the African slaves who were brought by them to work as labourers and soldiers. Unlike the situation in South Africa, the Sri Lankan Kaffirs are proud of their name, and do not consider it a racist slur.

Game slower on boot camp than on OS X
I play Starcraft II on my OSX, which works fine on low graphics. At the start of the game there is always a small lag. The only problem I encounter is that when I'm in a later stage of the game in a teamplay, my MacBook Pro can't handle it anymore and it starts lagging a lot, which makes the game unplayable. I'am aware that my laptop is getting old (MacBook Pro '15 late 2008) and the best option is to simply buy a new game PC. But that is not an option for a poor student like me. So what I'm trying to do is the following: I've heard that games run smoother on windows, so I installed Windows 7 with boot camp on my laptop. Everything goes fine and everything works, but for some reason Starcraft II is have random FPS drop in the beginning of the game. This makes the game completly unplayable on Windows. It looks like my computer is out of memory or somethings? Is there something I'm doing wrong? Did I forgot an important windows update? Greetings, RTD |

Edit: I use an app called Rainmeter which is a sort of overlay for windows 7, there are various little "Widgets" that allow you to see certain things on your desktop, I have mine setup to also see processes and CPU/RAM usage. As well as wifi signal and weather; gotta have that If something is hogging RAM/CPU it will show up on the side with a percent of how much it's using.

I'm sorry for my late response, but I was busy with my college the past days. Anyhow, I did some testing: Play the game while checking the CPU, RAM and SWAP usages. (I'm not sure what SWAP is...) The moments the game freezes there are no crazy peeks in usage at all three of the above. Average useage with nothing running on the computer: CPU: 10% RAM: 25% SWAP: 15% Average useage while playing the game. There is no change when the game has the fps drop. (at least, that is what it looks like to me): CPU: 65% RAM: 65% SWAP: 30% So I guess the problems isn't found there. I have to clue what it could be... Greetings, RTD |

So I did a fresh install of Windows 7 + the game and updated DirectX and the Nvidia driver.
I still have the same problem. The game gets really slow and I get a message that I should "lower the graphics to improve gameplay". The problem is: it is already at it lowest. (even lower than the game on OSX) RTD |

I still didn't found the solution while searching the internet.

This company (DVR) is a marine contractor which provides manned diving, pipelay and pipe burial, platform installation and platform salvage services to a diverse customer base in the offshore oil and natural gas industry. This stock is trading up 9% to $1.32 in recent trading.
Today's Range: $1.00-$1.36
52-Week Range: $1.14-$4.00
Volume: 2.41 million Three-Month Average Volume: 1.44 million From a technical perspective, DVR is bouncing sharply higher here with above-average volume. This move is coming after the stock downtrended badly for the last four months from $3 to $1. The action today has now started to move DVR within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit once DVR manages to take out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $1.51 to $1.57 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in DVR as long as it's trending above $1.32, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 1.44 million shares. If that breakout hits soon, then DVR will set up to re-test or take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $1.84 to $1.88, or possibly even $2.40. Exeter Resources This company (XRA) is an exploration stage company, engages in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mineral properties in the Maricunga Region in Chile. This stock is trading up 13.7% to $1.57 in recent trading. Today's Range: $1.37-$1.60 52-Week Range: $1.27-$4.20 Volume: 329,000 Three-Month Average Volume: 235,251 From a technical perspective, XRA is ripping higher here right off some near-term support at $1.33 with above-average volume. This move has started to push XRA above some near-term overhead resistance at $1.48 and it's moving it within range of its 50-day moving average of $1.60. This action is quickly pushing XRA within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade. That trade will hit once XRA takes out some near-term overhead resistance levels at $1.74 to $1.80 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in XRA as long as it's trending above its 50-day at $1.60, and then once it sustains a move or close above those breakout levels with volume that hits near or above 235,251 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then XRA will have a great chance of re-testing or possibly taking out its next major overhead resistance levels at $2.02 to $2.14. Any high-volume move above its 200-day at $2.14 will then put $2.40 into focus for shares of XRA.Select the service that is right for you!

Hello everyone. I will surely be visiting the musician section often now that I discovered this forum.
Anyway here is the deal: a friend of mine is visiting and although she got the iPad 1 forever, she never installed one app and the few ones was done by her daughter at her friends. No one remembers the password, apple ID etc.. She mostly use it for email and surfing and YouTube, etc... I am planning to reset the device from scratch and start over so she can create a profile, etc... I want to upgrade her iPad to version 5 also. The thing is after deleting everything on her iPad I would need to plug it to my machine on my iTunes to do the up to date transfers. I haven't touched her iPad yet.
Can I update her iPad to iOS 5 on my PC (after i deleted everything) while not associating her machine with my iTunes profile or does she need to do it on her own laptop at her home? does she need to go to an Apple store for this to be done?
I hope my question is clear enough. Thank you!

How to tell if your Android phone or tablet supports USB On-The-Go
One of the chief benefits of Android is its support for add-on storage, yet surprisingly few of the latest Android smartphones and tablets include a microSD slot. My new Moto X, for example -- no slot.
The good news is that the operating system can still access external storage (as well as various external devices like keyboards and game controllers). The bad news is that not all devices come with the necessary hardware and drivers for this USB On-The-Go (OTG) capability. So how can you determine if yours does?
The fastest and most effective solution by far is to install … Read more

cHe denied illicit drug use or any recent fevers or chills. Radiographs of the left knee at that time were significant only for a joint effusion (not shown). He was given nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication and was referred to physical therapy for range-of-motion (ROM) exercises and modalities for pain and swelling control. Although the pain and swelling gradually decreased over a 4-week period, the patient experienced progressive loss of motion and represented 10 months later with significant joint contractures. Repeat radiographs (Figure 1) were obtained, followed by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the left knee (Figure 2).
Hemophilic arthropathy
Radiographs of the right knee were normal. The radiographic images of the left knee reveal extensive erosive and degenerative change about the femoral-tibial and femoral-patellar joints and diffuse, severe osteopenia (Figure 1). MR imaging shows extensive subchondral cystic change and edema. The T2-weighted MR image shows, particularly well, multiple, intra-articular dark irregular foci corresponding to hemosiderin deposits (Figure 2).
The coagulation dysfunction in hemophilia A is a sex-linked deficiency or abnormality of a plasma protein called factor VIII (FVIII) found in 1 of 5000 male births. Physiologically, FVIII is found circulating in the plasma bound to von Willebrand's factor, which acts as a carrier protein. The degree of FVIII deficiency correlates with the extent of bleeding, and hemophilia A can be classified as severe (<1% activity), moderate (1% to 5%), or mild (5% to 25%). Typically, symptoms begin in childhood associated with hemorrhage after minor trauma. As the individual ages and becomes more prudent, symptoms become less frequent. Although a presumptive diagnosis can be made based on age, sex, family history, and clinical presentation, the presentation is not always classic. Up to 30% of patients may have a normal family history due to mild disease or lack of males in the family tree. Mild disease, however, may not present until well into adulthood; there has even been a case in which the patient was diagnosed during his 60s. 1 Hemophilia has been well documented in females in whom X chromosome inactivation occurs at an early stage of embryogenesis, resulting in unusually low levels of FVIII. 2 The differential diagnosis for congenital bleeding disorders includes hemophilia B (deficiency of factor IX), factor XI deficiency, and von Willebrand's disease (deficiency of vWF). Acquired coagulation disorders should also be considered, such as vitamin K deficiency, liver disease, and factor deficiencies that may be seen in conditions like systemic lupus erythematosus or lymphoma.
Radiographically, the diagnosis is often suggested by recurring changes of hemarthrosis in the knees, elbows, and ankles. 3 Although there is no universally accepted classification system, several common patterns of joint disease in hemophilic arthropathy have been described by Arnold and Hilgartner. 4 The initial episode of intra-articular bleeding, often following minor trauma, is usually associated with joint effusion without osseous or articular involvement. With recurrent small bleeds or after a large bleed, peri-articular osteoporosis and regional soft-tissue swelling are common sequelae. In adolescents, the hyperemic joint may lead to localized, accelerated growth and limb-length discrepancies. Eventually osseous irregularity and erosion develop, accompanied by subchondral cysts. Synovial effusions are common and may appear radiodense due to hemosiderin deposition. An important diagnostic clue to hemophilic arthropathy during this phase is the preservation of joint space. As osseous erosions continue, however, joint space narrowing is seen, associated with progressive, symmetric cartilaginous destruction. Eventually, complete obliteration of the joint space will occur and secondary degenerative signs, including osteophytes and eburnation, develop. With chronic disease, muscle imbalances and joint contractures may develop.
MR imaging can detect early erosions not visualized on conventional radiography and is probably the best modality for assessing intra-articular abnormalities associated with hemophilic arthropathy. Generally, hemarthrosis can be seen as areas of low to intermediate signal on T1-weighted MR images and increased signal on T2-weighted MR images. 5 Chronic peri-articular changes are often visualized as decreased signal intensity on both T1- and T2-weighted MR images. Synovial hypertrophy results from fibrosis and appears as nodular areas of low to intermediate signal intensity on T1- and T2- weighted MR images. Subchondral cysts containing inflammatory fluid show increased signal on T2-weighted MR images, while fibrotic cysts are hypointense. 6 Because articular cartilage is well visualized on MR imaging, focal areas of thinning or absent cartilage can be easily detected.
Treatment for hemophilia typically involves some form of factor replacement depending on the severity of the disease. The pain and swelling associated with joint injuries can be treated with conservative measures such as immobilization, cooling, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication, which do not interfere with the coagulation pathway or platelet function. Aspiration therapy is contraindicated unless necrosis, due to joint tension or compartment pressure, is imminent. Radiotherapy for vascular sclerosis can be useful in the treatment of soft-tissue masses and acute joint hemarthrosis. When irreversible osseous and cartilaginous changes have occurred, and pain and joint contractures limit activities of life, joint replacement should be considered.
Hemophilic arthropathy is a rare joint-destroying disorder that is more prevalent before adulthood. A wide spectrum of radiographic and MR changes are possible depending on the stage of the disorder. Correlating a good history with characteristic imaging findings can result in prompt diagnosis and treatment and may prevent, or at least delay, the need for joint replacement.

CD/LP/Track Review
Patrick Zimmerli: The Book of Hours (2003)
"Dawn" presents each instrument arising in turn as piano, trumpet and guitar leisurely wipe sleep from their eyes in response to a peppy soprano sax. A melody arises in "Morning" with a breezy jazz trumpet giving way to full ensemble playing. As drums announce lunch at "Noon," baritone saxophonist and Octurn leader Bo Van Der Werf engages in an interesting repartee with the percussion.
This leads to an "Afternoon" delight where alto sax shines over quick complex rhythms. A slower mood, courtesy of a bluesy trombone, allows the shadows of "Dusk" to creep in until a drum roll kicks off a somewhat frantic "Night." Octurn's two drummers and two electric bassists drive an electric guitar jazz/rock fusion stops dead in its tracks for a delicate soprano sax piano duet, only to resurface as "Night" ends with a flourish. Harmonizing horns softly enter "Sleep" and continue with a slow exquisite soprano sax solo.
The Book of Hours features creative compositions that take advantage of the intriguing possibilities that two rhythm sections allow. Melodies are secondary as Zimmerli uses texture and tempo to mirror the day's changing rhythms. If there is a drawback here, it is that the music sometimes has a scripted feel. Such moments are few, and the recording is a well-crafted account of a diurnal ebb and flow.

In the comedy American Reunion, all the American Pie characters we met a little more than a decade ago are returning to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion. In one long-overdue weekend, they will discover what has changed, who hasn't and that time and distance can't break the bonds of friendship. It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed, Jim and Michelle married while Kevin and Vicky said goodbye. Oz and Heather grew apart, but Finch still longs for Stifler's mom. Now these lifelong friends have come home as adults to reminisce about-and get inspired by-the hormonal teens who launched a comedy legend.

Pablo Schreiber's Orange Is the New Black character has the sadism of Joffrey Baratheon and the mustache of Tom Selleck, an unlikely combination which somehow turned Pornstache into a runaway success.

"There is no other case where such a suspension has been upheld," Martin said. "I looked. And I cannot find a case with similar language."
Meanwhile, Watkins announced recently that he was taking a medical leave of absence and would apply for medical disability through the state. Another judge has been appointed to handle his docket.
Justices Menis Ketchum and Brent Benjamin questioned that decision, calling it inconsistent with his desire to remain on the bench.
Watkins is also unhappy that portions of his sealed psychological evaluation were made public when Halburn discussed them at a public hearing and when the board cited aspects of it in its written decision.
"I have a problem with the way the case has been handled," Martin said. "It has been a public free-for-all."
Cipoletti said, "I think what irritates the public is that this case is 'special.' It is not special. This case is not different."
Cipoletti said she believed the 90-day suspension was a reasonable penalty "at the time."
"But at that hearing he was confrontational," she said. "And angry as soon as he got off the witness stand."
Ketchum said he might have acted in a similar way if faced with criticism in a courtroom from a loud and contentious witness.
"No, you wouldn't have, your honor," said Cipoletti. "You would have had a stoic face on and not reacted."
In Martin's written brief to the Supreme Court, he writes, "Judge Watkins made some mistakes. Judge Watkins took ownership of those mistakes.
"Unfortunately what he received was a lack of procedural due process; a lack of substantive due process; disclosure of his private and protected psychological records to the public and the media and an unconstitutional sanction."

"Yesterday, Orlando took the day off," Brown said. "That's how seriously they're taking us."
As the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference, Charlotte Bobcats know their places as underdogs against the Orlando Magic. The Bobcats trail the best of seven series 0-1 heading into Wednesday's game. Heading into Game 2, Charlotte has overcome its pre-playoff nerves and isn't giving the Magic, or its players, any kind of star treatment.
"Nobody really expects us to win this series … the Magic, Orlando, most of the country, except the good people of Charlotte," Bobcats center Tyson Chandler said. "We already know that. We don't have any pressure on us. They got the pressure."
Playing the franchise's first playoff game, with a roster lacking much playoff experience, the Bobcats felt pressure entering the series.
Guard Stephen Jackson, one of Charlotte's few playoff veterans, remembered the locker room being quiet and tight Sunday evening before Game 1. The Bobcats started the game focused intensely on Magic center Dwight Howard, and in the meantime got burned by point guard Jameer Nelson. By the time Charlotte settled down, Orlando had a double-digit lead.
From that game the Bobcats learned they needn't be so tight nor so singularly focused on the two-time defending Defensive Player of the Year.
"Dwight's gonna be Dwight," said forward Gerald Wallace, who finished third in Defensive Player of the Year voting. "We can't treat him like he's Michael Jordan or somebody. Our bigs gotta help our guards."
Practice focused on that concept. Jackson practiced after sitting out Monday with a small bone bruise on his left knee. He hyperextended his knee after a collision with Wallace in the second quarter of Game 1. Jackson did not wear a brace on his knee.
"No brace at all — brace is a mental thing with me," Jackson said. "It'll let me know that something's wrong."
Brown's comments to his team before practice were about a mental thing, too. And his players insist they don't care who thinks they can win.
"We don't care about that," Wallace said. "We're worried about us. They do what they want to do. We're the Bobcats. We're the only thing we can control, and we'll move from there."

Thank you Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Leahy, and members of the committee. I would like to thank you for this opportunity to appear before you today and for the committee's timely and thoughtful consideration of these significant issues. As you know, Soldier-lawyers in The Judge Advocate General's Corps have practical experience and expertise in the law of war. For the most part, our involvement in this area is focused on helping commanders ensure that US military operations adhere to the rule of law and the law of war, a standard that is typically met and, frankly, a practice that frequently separates us from our enemies. We are also integrally involved in the prosecution of Soldiers for crimes that occur in combat, although our general practice is to charge Soldiers with violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice and not with war crimes. The Supreme Court's ruling in the Hamdan case has reinforced the importance of the rule of law and law of war, and has reinvigorated our scholarship concerning how we charge and prosecute individuals for war crimes. In Hamdan, the Supreme Court reminds us that properly established and enabled military commissions continue to be a viable and vital forum to try those enemy combatants who violate the laws of war. Congress may specify substantive offenses triable by military commissions in a number of different ways, including in an act relating to military commissions or by amending the War Crimes Act at 18 United States Code section 2441, or by both means. Army Judge Advocates are now involved in the process, led by the Department of Justice and with Judge Advocates of the other services, to propose to Congress the best way to enable military commissions to adjudicate the full-range of offenses that are at issue in the Global War on Terrorism. This would include conspiracy, which the Supreme Court found problematic in Hamdan. While this review and analytical process is ongoing, I believe that several points are apparent:1. We need the help of Congress to pass additional enabling legislation, both for the military commission forum and for the substantive offenses that may be tried by commissions.2. The War Crimes Act should be amended. In so doing, however, our goal should be to elevate the Act from an aspiration to an instrument. By this I mean that the Act should not simply be a statement of legal policy in furtherance of the ideals of the law of war, but should be a statute defining serious and prosecutable criminal offenses.3. Whatever is criminalized in the War Crimes Act must withstand the test of fairness as well as the scrutiny of law. Since it is a criminal statute, it must be clear and it must proscribe clearly criminal conduct. There cannot be two standards: if we are to hold enemy combatants to the War Crimes Act, we must be prepared to hold US personnel to the Act. In conclusion, I believe that, with the help of Congress, we will have a forum and the necessary offenses that enable the nation to have a pragmatic, lawful, and effective instrument for maintaining order and the rule of law on the battlefield.

Trident Technical College is back to normal Tuesday morning following a bomb threat.
The school's Public Safety Department says an employee of the college received the threat yesterday afternoon. It was directed at the Main Campus.
Authorities found a suspicious item near one of the parking areas. That area of the campus on Rivers Avenue was evacuated.
The Charleston County Sheriff's Office Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit rendered the suspicious item safe.
Both the sheriff's office and TTC Department of Public Safety are investigating this incident. The sheriff's office would not provide further details because the investigation is still active.
The college is closed right now for winter holiday, so there were very few students on campus.

The Guardian reports that the UK Independence Party (UKIP) has distanced itself from "Lord" Christopher Monckton [1], the crazypants climate denier who thinks President Obama's birth certificate is fake [2], compared youth climate activists to "Hitler Youth" [3] and a litany of other crazy stunts well-documented here at DeSmog [4] over the years.
The Guardian's Leo Hickman reports today from Rio [1], where Monckton [5] is pulling his usual shenanigans:
As has become the norm at such international gatherings in recent years, the eccentric climate sceptic Lord Monckton has flown in to Rio to perform his party piece about how environmentalists are trying to establish a "world socialist government", and such like. What is less clear these days is whether his colleagues at the UK Independence Party (Ukip) approve of such interventions.
Under Lord Pearson, the previous Ukip leader, Monckton was the party's deputy leader and was also variously the head of the party's policy unit, as well as its spokesman on energy and the environment. But ever since fellow eccentric climate sceptic Roger Helmer defected from the Conservatives to Ukip earlier this year, he has assumed the latter role. So what, if any, role does Monckton now have at Ukip?
Gawain Towler, Ukip's press spokesman, has confirmed to me this morning that Monckton "no longer has any formal role" with Ukip. Towler described Monckton as an "outlier" who is now "semi-detached" from the party, partly because he's "barely in the country these days". (Before arriving in Rio, Monckton had been touring the US Tea Party circuit casting doubt on the origins of Barack Obama's birth certificate.) [See DeSmog's coverage of Monckton's birther tour [2]]
I asked if there had been a falling out between Monckton and the current Ukip leader, Nigel Farage. Towler said not, but said that Monckton - whom he described as a "17th century pamphleteer" - was sometimes the source of "frustration" and was "very much Lord Pearson's man - they own contiguous shooting estates in Scotland". Towler added that Monckton had been active in the party at a time when it was "not drowning in talent", but the recent surge in popularity for the party had seen a fresh influx of personnel. Monckton was a "loose cannon", said Towler, but Helmer is a "tied-down cannon, pointed in the same direction".
With his political prospects looking increasingly bleak, "Lord" Monckton [6] is slipping further into irrelevancy. Look for him to continue trying to outdo the Heartland Institute [7] in increasingly insane stunts. Let's just hope he's given up skydiving because that was a scary sight [8].

Does Your Sun Sign Make You a Rock-solid Friend?
When a dear friend is suffering through a difficult situation, are you there for them? Your Sun sign plays a significant role in your ability to provide a shoulder for others to lean on.
Aries will attempt to pull their friend out of depression by suggesting diversions ... but this may not quite do the trick. What most bereaving folks look for in a time of need is empathy -- which isn't exactly Aries's strongest trait.
Taurus can be a real rock to lean on during an emotional crisis, since they offer a calming sense of continuity. After all, "life goes on" is their motto. They'll offer a strong shoulder for a time, although they may grow impatient if the misery drags on longer than they think is appropriate.
Gemini can supply enough verbal motivation to fill ten self-help books, but they're never quite sure how to handle a flood of tears. They're wary of their own feelings, so they'll eventually back off to make sure they don't drown in someone else's torrent of intense emotion.
Cancer will turn into the great Earth mother, offering a comforting shoulder and words of wisdom. They love to feel wanted, but if left unchecked, they can also turn into a smothering presence over time.
Understand and improve the most important relationships in your life with a free sample Harmony Reading!
Leo maintains close relationships with friends and family, but they also tend to become edgy if they give too much attention without what they feel is sufficient reciprocation. Older Lions usually handle difficult situations better than young cubs.
Since they're so practical, sympathetic, and wise, being of service is one of Virgo's true joys. They're so self-sufficient that they can help a friend in need realize the long-term value of standing on one's own.
Libra will be tactful and gentle while offering unique approaches to their friend's dilemma. They aren't the inherently emotional type, however, so they often run into problems when presented with great displays of grief.
Given their own innate understanding of anguish, Scorpio will be intensely engaged and provide solid support. These folks are invaluable in times of trouble; the problem is, they may not know how to lighten up once the dark clouds lift.
Enhance the deepest points of your connection to each other with a free sample Soul Mate Compatibility Reading!
Sagittarius will point out the hidden blessings in their friend's seemingly dire situation, all while insisting that the future will be brighter than the past. Wallowing in sorrow simply doesn't suit their optimistic spirit.
Capricorn will be cool but sensible, which will likely help defuse their friend's chaotic swirl of emotions. That said, they may not know exactly know what to do after passing along their own practical tips!
Aquarius will relay stories of people who've been in a similar situation in hopes of making their friend's plight seem more bearable. But since Aquarius tends to lead with their head more than their heart, they're not so much at ease with emotional displays.
Pisces tends to recoil in sorrowful situations, since they soak in others' suffering to the point where it becomes an unbearable load. However, they do possess a healing presence, so simply having them around in times of trouble can help lighten the atmosphere.

Serves 4
In this riff on the classic French croque-madame (a toasted ham and cheese sandwich topped with béchamel and a fried egg), roasted fresh ham replaces the typical cured ham. If you don't have any leftover fresh ham from Sunday dinner, substitute store-bought sliced roast pork loin or sliced cured ham.
Melt 2 Tbs. of the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the flour and continue whisking just until it turns beige, about 20 seconds. Whisk in the milk in a slow, steady stream; continue whisking until smooth, thickened, and slightly bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk in the brandy, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, nutmeg, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper. Whisk for 30 seconds; then remove from the heat and set aside, whisking occasionally to prevent a skin from forming. Position a rack 4 inches from the broiler element and heat the broiler on high. Spread four of the bread slices on one side with 1 tsp. Dijon mustard each. Layer the Gruyère and ham on the bread in this pattern: cheese, ham, cheese. Top with the remaining bread. Melt 1 Tbs. of the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook 2 of the sandwiches until brown and crisp, turning once halfway through the cooking, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with another tablespoon of butter and the remaining 2 sandwiches. Ladle the béchamel sauce over the sandwiches (it will run down the sides), and then top with the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Broil until bubbling and lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Meanwhile, in a 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt the remaining 1 Tbs. butter over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry them sunny side up until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes. Use a large, flat spatula to transfer the sandwiches to serving plates. Place a fried egg on each. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.
Serve with Basic Roasted Broccoli with Caramelized Shallot Butter.

by Banashree, 3/6/2012Great recipe. The Dijon mustard adds a nice zing. I used whole grain/seven grain bread and was great. Thanks for the recipe
by curryleaf, 1/22/2011I've been very disappointed with most of the croque madame/monsieur sandwiches that I've tried here in the U.S. Many places just treat them like a grilled ham and cheese (this recipe's an example: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/croque-madame-recipe/index.html) and don't remind me at all of the ones I've eaten in France. But, this FC recipe tastes like the real deal—the secret must be the béchamel.
by TheMomChef, 12/30/2010This sandwich has an outstanding combination of flavors. The bechamel is excellent. Read my full review at: http://themomchef.blogspot.com/2010/12/croque-madame-sandwiches-from-fine.html
