Poured into a snifter.
A: Clear dark red-brown with one-finger, tan, creamy head that lasted a couple minutes and left a nice film. Pretty good lacing.
S: Roasted chocolate and dark fruit.
T: Light to moderate sweetness and light bitterness. Subtle notes of chocolate and dark fruit and vanilla.
M: Medium bodied with lively carbonation.
O: I prefer other English porters like Fullers and Samuel Smith's Taddy. This one wasn't bad though.

Deep brown in color with good clarity (you'll need a bright light of course). Poured with a short, rich, light beige foam that slowly reduced to a wispy cap. Roasted malt and sweet toffee aromas with earthy, herbal hop and dark chocolate notes beneath. Medium bodied with a creamy smooth feel and soft carbonation. Dark roasted and chocolate malt flavors with sweet toffee up front and earthy bitter hops through the middle. Bitterness fades to roasted malts at the end as this finishes crisp and dry. Outstanding.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
A: The beer is clear very dark amber in color (black when viewed from afar) and has no visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high tan head that died down but consistently left a thin layer of bubbles covering the surface.
S: Light aromas of sweet and smoked malts are present in the nose.
T: The taste has flavors of roasted malts along with nutty and chocolate malts and notes of smoke towards the finish. A light amount of sweetness is perceptible.
M: It feels a bit shy of being medium-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is extremely easy to drink and has an interesting mix of aromas and flavors.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a Sam Smith pint glass. Moderately aggressive hand. Didn't see any date on the label or bottle. Apparently this is ol' GW's original recipe. Would it taste better in a powdered wig and wooden teeth?
A: Very dark amber that appears mostly black from afar. 1 finger of light beige head with ok retention. Light lacing.
S: Roasted malt with dark chocolate notes. Lighter coffee. Slight presence of piney hop. Faint molasses. Honey. Smoke.
T: Roasted and rather smoky malt with a pleasant nuttiness. Gradual transition to a moderate hop bitterness. Dry finish. No alcohol of note. A little tang on the back end.
M: Moderate carbonation with a moderate body. A bit more fullness wouldn't hurt, but feels smooth.
O: I enjoyed this. Well balanced with good scents and flavors. Texturally, kind of thin on the palate, but very drinkable.

This beer is part of their "Ales of the Revolution." It is a robust porter based on George Washington's own recipe - apparently, our first president liked to tipple as he also had his own distillery. The spongy vanilla head head immedialty dissipates ( a metaphor for removing the crown from our shores?) to leave sketchy lacing olong the glassrim. The body is a dark ruby color that is impervious to light. There are pleasant notes of cocoa nubs, molasses and malt. The palate is tickled with semi-sweet chocolate whisps, while the mouthfeel is balanced enough to belie a 7% abv.
A delicious beer, by George; is it no wonder we all carry pictures of him in our wallets.
Note: This beer was tasted at the Yards' Brewing Tasting Room on January 18, 2014.

Review Senate membership
Report to the Faculty and the Campus Community
Daryl Kelley, UNK Faculty Senate President January 2003
This report is part of the Executive Committee's initiative to improve communication across campus. Herein I will summarize what the Faculty Senate has accomplished during the fall semester and what we hope to complete yet this academic year. In May I will submit a report that includes what was accomplished this coming spring and the goals that the Executive Committee establishes for next year.
Leadership—The Executive Committee Daryl Kelley, Sociology, President Rick Miller, Psychology, President-elect William Wozniak, Psychology, Past President John Damon, English, Secretary Deborah Bridges, Economics, Senate Representative Bob Young, Accounting and Finance, Parliamentarian
Glen Powell, Teacher Education, had originally been elected President-elect but he resigned his position and Senate seat when he accepted an administrative post.Fall Activities and Accomplishments The primary concern in the fall was handling the third round of budget cuts. Because we had already trimmed the budget twice, the third cut entailed difficult choices. The campuses had been directed by the Board of Regents to make permanent vertical, namely programmatic, cuts. The Faculty Senate hosted two fora where the Chancellor and VCAA gathered reaction to their proposed budget reductions. The Executive Committee summarized the dialogue from the fora and disseminated the information to the Senators. A special meeting of the Faculty Senate was held to discuss the proposed cuts. The Senate requested that the German position be maintained and the cut to the library's budget be restored. In his final deliberations the Chancellor decided to rescind the faculty position cut and reduced the cut to the library. On November 1, we hosted a faculty club, and led a discussion on academic organization. Ann Young reviewed the organizational changes that had taken place at KSC in the past. Bill Wozniak and Chuck Peek shared possibilities for reorganization which generated a lively discussion.VCAA Search Throughout the semester the Executive Committee received updates on the search for a permanent Sr. VCAA. The Executive Committee decided that the full Senate should have input into who should represent the faculty on the search committee. A straw vote was taken at the December Senate meeting to guide the Executive Committee in creating a slate of faculty representatives for consideration by the Chancellor. The Executive Committee was satisfied with the final selections made by the Chancellor.Some Ongoing Issues
Reflection and Shared Governance With change in top administration and the short time line to make significant budget cuts, the Senate was faced with many challenges this past fall. However, budget cuts have not deterred the Senate or its committees from making progress in keeping UNK the premier teaching institution in Nebraska. The Senate is the representative body of the collective faculty. A strong Senate requires an active faculty. The Faculty Senate meetings are open to anyone who cares to attend and time is reserved for faculty comments. Please feel free to contact the members of the executive committee with concerns. You can also keep your Senators informed of your views.

KD means nothing in quick matches.
It could be an XBLA Title, and I wouldn't be complaining, look at Shadow Complex, that turned out great...but I'm still not sold on it being an Arcade Title, it could have a lot more depth than it appears to have...
...I want it...
...More info needed...BADLY...
It looks like it will be an arcade title. Well that's just what I gathered.
Want your seriously %? --- My youtube --- Thanks everyone
Knock, Knock - Who's there? - Dr - Dr who? - Exactly.

It does me nicely
<----- Man I love this face!
If it is like a multiplayer only game with no "Story" then if it's not an arcade title, it may get a lot of heat from gamers.
Well, let's say it was a full Retail Game with no "Story", but it did have a Single-Player Free-Roam aspect, I'd have no real complaints with it, I mean if I have the ability to roam the World, Scavenge and Build, I wouldn't really need a "Story", though ofcourse there's no reason not to have one...
Though that being said, we're still left in the dark as to whether or not this is an Arcade game or not...obviously...
...I want it...
...More info needed...BADLY...
From just the teaser alone, I can see this game going multiple ways about playability and I heard sandbox-gameplay when I first heard about this. I would prefer arcade since it saves me money, but then it narrows down the amount of content available for the game. Full retail may not be their best choice either. We'll just have to wait and see what EPIC reveals about it.
Was expecting more from Epic, oh well i guess i wont know until the game is released, or we see some gameplay.
I say it how it is, If you're being an idiot, I will let you know.

...I want it...
...More info needed...BADLY...
For some reason I can see that this game is going to be something that Epic can play around with. I mean if it does well they can definitely make a sequel.
Hopefully it's an arcade title...at least that's what it looks like its going to be
Thanks Flak for the SGE code!!
GT: Monsieur Worm
I wouldn't mind it being an Arcade game, but then again it limits the amount of content that can be there.
And retail games are more marketable.

Statement from the righteous family of the Underwear Bomber
Our family, like the rest of the world, were woken up in the early hours of Saturday, 26th December, 2009 to the news of an attempt to blow up a plane by a young Nigerian man, who was later identified as Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab. Umar Farouk AbdulMutallab is the son of Alhaji (Dr.) Umaru AbdulMutallab, the head of this family.
Prior to this incident, his father, having become concerned about his disappearance and stoppage of communication while schooling abroad, reported the matter to the Nigerian security agencies about two months ago, and to some foreign security agencies about a month and a half ago, then sought their assistance to find and return him home. We provided them with all the information required of us to enable them do this. We were hopeful that they would find and return him home. It was while we were waiting for the outcome of their investigation that we arose to the shocking news of that day.
The disappearance and cessation of communication which got his mother and father concerned to report to the security agencies are completely out of character and a very recent development, as before then, from very early childhood, Farouk, to the best of parental monitoring, had never shown any attitude, conduct or association that would give concern. As soon as concern arose, very recently, his parents reported it and sought help.
The family will continue to fully cooperate with local and international security agencies toward the investigation of this matter, while we await results of the full investigation.
We, along with the whole world, are thankful to almighty God that there were no lives lost in the incident. May God continue to protect us all, amen.
Finally, as the matter is being investigated by the various agencies, and has already been mentioned in aU.S. court, the family requests that the press should regard this as the only statement it will make for now.
Thank you.
The Mutallab Family

How Afghans assess the situation
Oxfam's chief executive said the message from ordinary people in Afghanistan was that "all sides must stop targeting civilians".
They wanted international forces to tighten their restrictions on air strikes and night raids and to investigate properly all allegations of harm to civilians, she said.
The Afghan people interviewed also wanted insurgents to "stop taking refuge in civilian areas, which puts normal Afghans on the front lines of the conflict", she added.Seems fair enough to me.

Afghans whup Taliban: 6-0
The New York Times reports:
American and Afghan officials have begun helping a number of anti-Taliban militias that have independently taken up arms against insurgents in several parts of Afghanistan, prompting hopes of a large-scale tribal rebellion against the Taliban.
The emergence of the militias, which took some leaders in Kabul by surprise, has so encouraged the American and Afghan officials that they are planning to spur the growth of similar armed groups across the Taliban heartland in the southern and eastern parts of the country.Why now? Apparently, some Afghans have had enough:
In July, a long-running dispute between local Taliban fighters and elders from the Shinwari tribe flared up. When a local Taliban warlord named Khona brought a more senior commander from Pakistan to help in the confrontation, the elders in the Shinwari tribe rallied villagers from up and down the valley where they live, killed the commander and chased Khona away.How is the tribe doing? They appear to be kicking the "stray dogs" you-know-whats.
The elders had insisted that the Taliban stay away from a group of Afghans building a dike in the valley. When Khona's men kidnapped two Afghan engineers, the Shinwari elders decided they had had enough.
"The whole tribe was with me," one of the elders said in an interview. "The Taliban came to kill me, and instead we killed them."
Since the fight, the Taliban have been kept away from a string of villages in Achin District that stretch for about six miles. The elders said they were able to do so by forming a group of more than 100 fighters and posting them at each end of the valley.Now imagine giving every man, woman, and child in Afghanistan - every school girl and her grandma - a cell phone so that every villager in trouble could call one of these local militias. How much longer do you think their fathers, sons, and brothers would allow the Taliban survive a menacing visit to their homes or schools?
Forget road and school building. Bring these people phone service and let them establish their own security and educational opportunities.

Finally some good news about Pakistan
Or at least hope that at last we'll have a reliable source of information.
Pakistan Conflict Monitor, a website devoted to "research and analysis on the conflict in Pakistan" is now in the business, to paraphrase their mission statement, of systematically monitoring over 1,500 websites, as well as dozens of e-mailing lists and academic journals, to cull together the latest in academic research and insight on the conflict in Pakistan.

Here's another good analysis of the US debate on Afghanistan
From Tom Ricks, who covered the US military for the Washington Post (2000-2008), and author of The Gamble, another must-read on US war strategy.
He comments on the differences between Tom Friedman, NYT's columnist and David Ignatius of the Washington Post. As he writes:
Both are centrist middle-aged white men writing for major newspapers. Both also are successful authors, though the Rousseauian Friedman produces optimistic non-fiction works, while the more Hobbesian Ignatius writes dark thrillers about intelligence. Also, I think Friedman tends to be influenced a bit more by diplomats, while Ignatius seems a bit more plugged into the worlds of intelligence and the military.Friedman, he writes:
thinks that Iraq is more important than Afghanistan and Pakistan. I disagree, but this may be in part because he lived in Lebanon and Israel, while I lived in Afghanistan. I think the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan threatens the United States far more than anything in Iraq does. That is, I think Pakistan is deteriorating quickly and has weapons of mass destruction and Islamic extremists who are gaining ground, while Iraq is only deteriorating slowly, has no WMD (remember, Tom?) and its few Islamic extremists are on their heels.Whereas Ignatius still believes that a surge could work in Afghanistan. But, as he goes on to say:
I wish Ignatius also had written about the need to have U.S. troops protect the people from the brutality and abuses of Afghan soldiers and police. The need for more U.S. forces isn't just about insurgents. The predatory behavior of some of them has driven Afghans into the arms of the Taliban. Having American units partnered with Afghan forces won't stop such abuses, but it will lessen them. For example, I am told there currently are five checkpoints between Spin Boldak and Kandahar, with official shakedowns of truck drivers at each. Such corruption is a tax on the stomachs of poor Afghans. Get rid of the unnecessary checkpoints, and have Americans around the other ones, and fewer Afghans will go hungry.
Must-read on the recent CIA leak
The one about Karzai's "heroin-dealing" brother being a paid CIA asset. Some excerpts from the article by Robert Haddick's Foreign Policy Small Wars blog.
As Haddick notes:
The Times's sources for this [leak] included "current and former American officials" including a former CIA officer and perhaps a senior U.S. military officer in Kabul. Karzai acknowledged aiding U.S. efforts but denied receiving any payments from the CIA.''
Haddick then poses the key questions:
Did frustration and moral outrage with Karzai's illicit activities lead U.S. officials to expose him as a paid CIA asset? It would certainly be understandable, for these officials may have a low opinion of him and perhaps by association his brother the president. But this collective outburst is folly and will make a nearly impossible task for the United States in Afghanistan only that much harder.
The U.S. officials who exposed Karzai are likely hoping that with his status now public, he will no longer be useful to the CIA. Perhaps they are hoping that the CIA will be too embarrassed to continue paying him. As the Times piece discusses, some officials believe that if the U.S. really wants better governance in Afghanistan, it must begin by getting rid of types like him.But, as Haddick goes on to observe:
U.S. officials have to deal with Afghanistan society as it is, not as they wish it might be. With no history of a successful strong central government, and not much prospect of establishing it anytime soon, U.S. officials have to deal with local strongmen. If, perhaps like Ahmed Wali Karzai, the local strongman is both very powerful and equally unsavory, U.S. military, State Department, and CIA field officers will have to weigh the feasible alternatives, if any can be found. If there are no alternatives, U.S. officials will have to quietly decide whether the mission is worth the moral consequences.Anyway, read the whole piece.

Hillary warns Pakistan
From Bloomberg News:
"Al-Qaeda has had safe haven in Pakistan since 2002," Clinton told a group of editors in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore. "I find it hard to believe that nobody in your government knows where they are and couldn't get them if they really wanted to. Maybe that's the case; maybe they're not gettable. I don't know.". . .
Saying that she was "more than willing" to listen to Pakistani complaints about U.S. policies, Clinton stressed that Pakistan has to be mindful of American security concerns.
"But this is a two-way street," Clinton said. "I ask in the pursuit of mutual respect that you take seriously our concerns."P.S. I wouldn't take her comments lightly either.
Update: John McCreary apparently also agrees that what Hillary said needed to be said (via Tom Ricks who describes McCreary as someone "who has forgotten more about intelligence than I will ever know":
Bravo for Secretary Clinton. Either the Pakistani security services contain senior officers who know where bin Laden is and are lying or they are incompetent and ought to be dismissed. There are no other explanations for Pakistan having become the headquarters for al Qaida and the base area for international Islamic terrorism.

Advice to Afghans: Read the handwriting on the American wall before it is too late
Sample Number One:
Matthew Hoh's resignation letter. Hoh served as the Senior Civilian Representative of the US State Department in Zabul Province, Afghanistan and submitted this letter to his superiors in early September. Here some key excerpts:
Like the Soviets, we continue to secure and bolster a failing state, while encouraging an ideology and system of government unknown and unwanted by its people.On the negative impact Americans are having:
If the history of Afghanistan is one great stage play, the United States is no more than a supporting actor, among several previously, in a tragedy that not only pits tribes, valleys, clans, villages and families against one another, but, from at least the end of King Zahir Shah's reign, has violently and savagely pitted the urban, secular, educated and modern of Afghanistan against the rural, religious, illiterate and traditional. It is this latter group that composes and supports the Pashtun insurgency.
The United States military presence in Afghanistan greatly contributes to the legitimacy and strategic message of the Pashtun insurgency. In a like manner our backing of the Afghan government in its current form continues to distance the government from the people. The Afghan government's failings, particularly when weighed against the sacrifices of American lives and dollars, appear legion and metastatic:
As Hoh concludes:- Glaring corruption and unabashed graft;
- A President whose confidants and chief advisors comprise drug lords and war crimes villains, who mock our own rule of law and counternarcotics efforts;
- A system of provincial and district leaders constituted of local power brokers, opportunists and strongment allied to the United States solely for, and limited by, the value of our USAID and CERP contracts and whose own political and economic interests stand nothing to gain from any positive or geniune attempts at reconciliation;
I find specious the reasons we ask for bloodshed and sacrifice from our young men and women in Afghanistan. If honest, our stated strategy of securing Afghanistan to prevent al-Qaeda resurgence or regrouping would require us to additionally invade and occupy western Pakistan, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, etc....to follow the logic of our stated goals, we should garrison Pakistan, not Afghanistan.
While Americans would be advised to read this letter closely as well, ultimately, Afghans are the ones who are going to have to address these criticisms. Maybe it is already too late.

Saudis lining up to queue
The Associated Press reports from inside the corridors of the UN climate talks in Bangkok:
Saudi Arabia has led a quiet campaign during these and other negotiations — demanding behind closed doors that oil-producing nations get special financial assistance if a new climate pact calls for substantial reductions in the use of fossil fuels.The head of the Saudi delegation, Mohammad S. Al Sabban explains:
We are among the economically vulnerable countries," Al Sabban told The Associated Press on the sidelines of the talks ahead of negotiations in Copenhagen in December for a treaty to replace the Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012.
"This is very serious for us," he continued. "We are in the process of diversifying our economy but this will take a long time. We don't have too many resources."
Saudi Arabia, which sits atop the world's largest proven oil reserves, is seeing economic growth slide because of fallout from the global meltdown, but experts still expect the country, flush with cash from oil's earlier price spike last year, to be better able than other nations to cope with the current crisis.
Al Sabban accused Western nations of pursuing an agenda against oil producers, under the guise of protecting the planet.
"Many politicians in the Western world think these climate change negotiations and the new agreement will provide them with a golden opportunity to reduce their dependence on imported oil," Al Sabban said. "That means you will transfer the burden to developing countries, especially to those highly dependent on the exploitation of oil."
Al Sabban said his country wanted a new deal and was not impeding progress in talks as some activists have claimed.Meanwhile, in Detroit, Americans already lining up for economic assistance and a reader hit by flooding in India comments: "Gee, they don't look hungry."]
Missionless fatigue
"You give them all the humanitarian assistance that they want and they're still going to lie to you. They'll tell you there's no Taleban anywhere in the area and as soon as you roll away, ten feet from their house, you get shot at again," said Specialist Eric Petty, from Georgia. . . .
The soldiers complain that rules of engagement designed to minimise civilian casualties mean that they fight with one arm tied behind their backs. "They're a joke," said one. "You get shot at but can do nothing about it. You have to see the person with the weapon. It's not enough to know which house the shooting's coming from."...
To compound matters, soldiers are mainly being killed not in combat but on routine journeys, by roadside bombs planted by an invisible enemy. "That's very demoralising," said Captain Masengale.

Israel's Defense Minister speaks: "Iran does not constitute an existential threat against Israel"
Reuters reports:
Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak was quoted on Thursday as saying he does not view Iran as a threat to the existence of the Jewish state, a view that would seem to depart from Israeli statements of the recent past.
Israel's mass-circulation Yedioth Ahronoth daily quoted Barak, the head of Israel's center-left Labour party, as saying "Iran does not constitute an existential threat against Israel."
In response to a question about Tehran's nuclear programme which Israel has said it sees as destined to produce atomic weapons that could put its existence at risk, Barak said in an interview with the paper:
"I am not among those who believe Iran is an existential issue for Israel."

When not to outsource?
From today's London Times:
Art Keller, a blond, blue-eyed CIA agent, sits inside a decrepit building deep inside al Qaeda territory, staring at his computer screen. He is forbidden by his Pakistani minders from venturing out into the badlands of Waziristan to help to find and kill the world's most wanted man.
...Mr Keller was one of an estimated 50 to 100 CIA agents and special operations officers whose mission for the past eight years has been to find and kill bin Laden and other top al-Qaeda leaders. . .
Some of these guys have been hunting bin Laden for years," Mr Keller says. His replacement, whom Mr Keller believes is still in Pakistan, has spent eight months a year since the September 11 attacks working out of these CIA safe houses looking for the top al-Qaeda leadership.
The hunt for bin Laden is largely run by the ISI, the Pakistani intelligence service, an organisation for whom many CIA officials harbour deep mistrust because of its historical ties to the Pashtuns of Waziristan. . . CIA agents were rarely allowed to leave the compound by the Pakistanis. . .
"Our role in the hunt was done entirely from in front of a computer inside the base," Mr Keller says. When he wanted to follow up a lead, he would get in touch with a local Pashtun proxy to ask him to travel to a certain area to glean information.
When a senior al-Qaeda figure was identified and located — Mr Keller said that it would take weeks, often months, to build a case for an airstrike by a US Predator drone — and even if the go-ahead was finally given by CIA headquarters in Langley, Virginia, the Pakistanis still had to approve. "Since 9/11, with 99 per cent of these strikes, the Pakistanis were consulted and they have to approve them," he said.
...even if someone wanted to betray him — and collect the $25 million (£15 million) reward — there is no one to turn to. The local police know bin Laden is there. "If you report bin Laden's location there is a good chance you will get killed," Mr Keller says.

A Swat refugee's Sophies' choice
From today's Washington Post:
"When the shelling started, my wife and I ran out to gather the children. It was like a hell outside, and we just started running," recounted Taj Mahmad, 35, a vegetable-cart puller. "I realized that my son and my smallest daughter were missing. She is only 3. But my wife cried and said the rest of us would be killed if we stayed, so we kept going. I have no idea what happened to them."I'm trying to be sympathetic to the pressure they must have been under but all I can think of is this couple has too many children. I mean, they didn't know where their 3-year-old was?

What are we doing wrong in Afghanistan?
Spending too much money on security for Westerners for starters according to a report published by Truthout. The report also gives us an idea why we've been so clueless:
There have been numerous attacks on foreigners in Kabul and suicide bombings have been effective from the Taliban's point of view in driving almost all expatriates into well-defended compounds where living conditions may be luxurious but which are as confining as any prison. This means that many foreigners sent to Afghanistan to help rebuild the country and the state machinery seldom meet Afghans aside from their drivers and a few Afghans with whom they work.

Kaye Rose has lived in Sequim for the past 15 years, in the area for "about 30 years." She loves it, saying the peninsula is "such an easy place to live."
She recently described the death of her husband, Patrick, a 27-year veteran Port Angeles firefighter and EMT. He also was a pilot, specializing in experimental craft.
"Let's see. July 6, 2006. That morning my husband said, 'Oh, honey, I'll be home in time for dinner. I'll take you out to dinner because tomorrow's our anniversary and I have to work.'
So he went to fly this airplane for someone else.
He was an FAA inspector and he had built airplanes his entire life. He built them from aluminum — from scratch — and from plywood. Small airplanes. Mostly experimental.
A part on (the plane) failed and he crashed into a brand new hangar at the airport. He went in the roof and imbedded himself in this wall.
That was a bad day.
He had said, 'I'll come home,' and he did, in a beautiful little box. It had a picture of an airplane and everything (laughs).
But he did get a Harley ride, too. They cremated him up at Drennan's in P.A. And one of his co-workers was a Harley rider. And he called me from Drennan's and asked, 'Is it OK if I just strap the box onto the back of the Harley? It won't fit into the saddle bags.'
'Yeah, give him a good ride!' I said. 'It's his last Harley ride.'
So that's how he came home.
It was Fireman's Appreciation Day. So he got all of the big accolades. He was on the TV and everything.
The Mariners flashed it all over the big billboard things they've got. 'It's Firefighters Appreciation Day. We're sorry Pat Rose passed away today.'
He was with the City of Port Angeles. This was in July and he was going to retire in October. So he had been with them 25 … almost 30 years.
A critical part failed during the landing. It flew fine, it just didn't land very well.
There's a saying among pilots, 'The most exciting thing for a pilot isn't flying, it's landing.' And that's really true.
I was talking to his friends who were out there — there was a big crowd because it was the maiden flight for this airplane. Second maiden flight.
I was talking to this old guy and I said, 'He must have been really scared.'
And he said, 'No, he wasn't. He was trying to correct the problems. He wasn't afraid.'
I take some comfort in that.
He died doing what he loved best."

Vilma sues NFL commissioner in bounty scandal
By BRETT MARTEL
The Associated Press
First published May 17 2012 01:58PMNEW ORLEANS • Suspended Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma has filed a defamation lawsuit against NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
The lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in New Orleans claims Goodell has made false statements about Vilma while discussing the NFL's bounty investigation of the New Orleans Saints.
Goodell has said Vilma was a leader of the team's bounty program that put up thousands of dollars for bounties on opposing team's star players, including on then-Arizona quarterback Kurt Warner and then-Minnesota quarterback Brett Favre during the 2009-10 playoffs.
Goodell has also suspended Vilma for the entire season. Vilma and three other players who received shorter suspensions all have appealed their punishments.
Vilma denies putting up money to knock any player out of a game.
His lawsuit asks for unspecified monetary damages.

ASIA/NORTH KOREA - Threats of war for "the lights and Christmas trees on the border"
Seoul (Agenzia Fides) - The Christmas lights and Christmas trees built by the army of South Korea in the areas bordering the North is "a provocation", "they are part of a psychological warfare" and could unleash a "sea of fire" towards South Koreans: with such threats, North Korea has criticized the lights and Christmas decorations that South Korean troops have placed in Aegibong in the province of Gyeonggi. Aegibong is located about three kilometers from the border with North Korea and is a place from which, according to Pyongyang, provocations start as "radio broadcasts and leaflets against North Korea".
The authorities of the north – explains a source of Fides in Seoul – fear the cultural influence of the South on the population of the North, who will not be able to celebrate in any way the Christmas holidays strictly banned in the north of the "bamboo curtain". For this Pyongyang highly criticizes the Christmas lights saying that –it recites a site of propaganda of Pyongyang - "if the move leads to unpredictable results, all responsibilities will be determined on the warmongers of the South".
In addition to the decorations in Aegibong, the military of the South intend to create decorations similar in two other places along the border, easily visible from the north side of the military demarcation line that separates the two Koreas: two large Christmas trees will be erected on Christmas Day and will remain until early January. Beyond the "Christmas strife" in the last weeks the North has taken an increasingly belligerent tone against Seoul, increased nationalist rhetoric.
Meanwhile, on the occasion of World Day for Human Rights (December 10 last), organizations of the "International Coalition to stop the crimes against humanity in North Korea", born in September 2011 and consists of over 40 NGOs such as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH), Freedom House, and Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW), reiterated the appeal for "international action to stop the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the dictatorship of North Korea" asking for a special UN commission of inquiry.

Navigational deflector3 | Large component of a Federation starship which uses force fields and tractor beams to push objects out of the way of the ship as it travels through space. The deflector usually includes a large dish or array on the surface of the ship.3 | The Best of Both Worlds, Part 1 |
Neodynium power cell4 | Device used to power a Cardassian phase coil inverter. In 2373 they were hard to come by, at least on Deep Space Nine.4 | In the Cards |
Neuroelectric Isopulse5 | A type of energy-shock which can be used to re-start the brain of a person hours after it has become inactive. In concert with Borg nanoprobes, an isopulse can be used to re-animate a person well after Federation medicine would have regarded them as being deceased. The Borg assimilated the isopulse technology from Species 149; Seven of Nine adapted the technique to revive Neelix after he was killed on an away mission in 2374.5 | Mortal Coil |
Neurolytic restraint6 | Device used by the Orion slavers in the 2150s. It could induce convulsive seisures on command to disable prisoners.6 | Borderland |

Neutronic power source10 | Power source in use by the Xindi when they travelled back in time to Earth in 2004.10 | Carpenter Street |
Null Space | A phonomenon which can occasionally be caused by unstable gravitational and magnetic fields during the formation of a star. A pocket of null space will absorb any electromagnetic energy which falls upon it, rendering its contents invisible to outside detection. The idea was long thought to be purely theoretical, but in 2368 a J'naii shuttlecraft was lost in a pocket of null space. The craft's crew was recovered by the Enteprise-D.11 Null space also forms the basis for the catapult system built by Tash in the Delta Quadrant in his efforts to return home.12 | The Outcast |

- Bob Vila TV Shows >
- Waterfront Warehouse Rehab > Episode 3: Interior Demolition, Water Taxi Tour, and Framing With Metal Studs
New York Harbor Water Taxi Tour
Interior work and demolition are progressing simultaneously. Bob and his son, the project manager Chris Vila, review three weeks' worth of progress. Work performed to date includes removing an old elevator shaft and sandblasting exposed wood and brick surfaces. A new tongue and groove plywood subfloor is being installed and basic wall framing has begun. Also, Bob takes us on a water taxi tour to learn more about the history of heavy industry along Brooklyn's waterfront.
- Part 1: Interior Sandblasting and Installing the Plywood Subfloor
- Part 2: New York Harbor Water Taxi Tour
- Tom Fox, founder and former president of New York Water Taxi, takes Bob on a tour of the Brooklyn waterfront. Fox highlights various points of interest, including a sunken lightship, an abandoned sugar refinery, and once-derelict Civil War warehouses, which have been converted into cooperative work space.
- Part 3: Metal Stud Framing
Bob Vila heads to the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY, for this project involving an abandoned warehouse built in the mid-19th century. Bob's adaptive reuse will yield three ultra-hip apartments with commercial space at street level. Project manager is Bob's oldest son, Chris Vila, who helps guide this complete rehabilitation of a beat-up building in the city that never sleeps.
Also from Waterfront Warehouse Rehab
Episode 1 - Welcome to Brooklyn!
Bob begins a project in Brooklyn, New York, in an area known as "DUMBO", or Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. With beautiful downtown Manhattan in the background, Bob delivers a brief history of Brooklyn's waterfront area. Next, he joins his son, Chris Vila, who is manager of the project, to discuss what's in store. Slated for three floors of residential space, the building will reserve its ground floor for commercial use. Jared Della Valle and Andrew Bernheimer chat with Chris about possible floor plans, while Bob talks with Jacker Beyer, of Beyer Blinder Belle, about restoring the façade. -
Episode 2 - Demolition and Preservation in Brooklyn
Bob and his son Chris tour a loft space in the nearby Sweeney Building. On top of stunning views of the Brooklyn Bridge and downtown Manhattan, the building boasts a "tar beach" rooftop deck.

 David and Jed Walentas of Two Trees Development communicate their vision for the area. Back on site, demolition is underway and preservation expert Bill Higgins, of Higgins and Quasebarth, tells us more about the history of the building. -
Episode 4 - Brick Façade Restoration and Window Installation
Bob gives a demolition and reconstruction progress report for the work accomplished to date. Eight full dumpsters of debris have already been removed—a large amount for such a small building.

 On the exterior, power washing is underway on the front façade, while Bob pays a visit to Jane Walentas, part of DUMBO's growing artist community.

 Back on site, new six-by-six double-hung Pella windows are being installed on the fourth floor. -

The generous 4 USB ports are being spread over both sides of the notebook, making it easier to connect external devices.

Looks & Design
Nice form design, lacquered casing packed with solid palm areas, it embraces both aesthetic and practicability.
The 17.3-inch screen offers bright and clear and sharp presentation of videos, film and pictures.
Keys are solid, repsonsive and comfortable to type on. They are far enough apart for larger fingers, yet close enough not to make it look out of place on a notebook. The full keyboard makes it simple with Office documentation.
It is of a wide footprint, responsive and comfortable. The "lock" button on the right side helps turning it on and off easily for when one types on the notebook's keyboard. I must ask the thinking of the position of this device when a left-handed customers uses it
Multimedia Keys
On the right side of the keyboard one finds a touch slider control of volume, along with the optical drive controls. Smartly designed is such that the optical drive situates also on the right side of the notebook.
This add-on gives the Aspire 7738 a touch of class.
I must say that the sound on this notebook is superb, thanks to the added sub-woofer and the built-in virtual digital surround.
Heat and Noise
For its size, the notebook runs surprisingly cool and quiet.
Venting is adequate with the heat flow being channeled out to the large exhaust.
Gaming Performance
I have yet run any ganes on this Acer, since it is mainly for work. But one can expect decent performance with the current configuration.
System Performance
We run 2 XP Virtual Machine on this system, along with many CAD processes. No complaint none whatsoever with the smooth performance. Blu-Ray dvds play beautifully with VLC, not yet trying with some paid software, but I personally feel that there is no need for it.
Input and Output Ports
Right Side:
Left Side:
Back Side:
Battery Life
The notbook would support 3hrs plus of video/film watching easily.
For surfing with wireless and some download, the system barely pulls 2hrs plus.
. Good price/Good performance ratio
. Solid built
. Good screen and Sound
. Quiet Operation
. Bit heavy, but then it is a 17" plus notebook.
. Battery performance can be better with the 8-cells battery.
A good investment for home media usage.

Good recipe that can be gluten free. I used yogurt instead of buttermilk because its what i had on hand and added in some rosemary. Very nice flavor. The medium ground corn meal gives the cornbread a kinds of crisp consistency, not unpleasant but not as smooth as other recipes.

Kent Conrad on Families & ChildrenDemocratic Sr Senator (ND) |
Strengthen America's Families
While the steady reduction in the number of two-parent families of the last 40 years has slowed, more than one-third of our children still live in one- or no-parent families. There is a high correlation between a childhood spent with inadequate parental support and an adulthood spent in poverty or in prison.
To strengthen families, we must redouble efforts to reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies, make work pay, eliminate tax policies that inadvertently penalize marriage, and require absent fathers to pay child support while offering them new opportunities to find work. Because every child needs the attention of at least one caring and competent adult, we should create an "extended family" of adult volunteer mentors.
Family breakdown is not the only challenge we face. As two-worker families have become the norm, harried parents have less time to spend on their most important job: raising their children. Moreover, parents and schools often find themselves contending with sex- and violence-saturated messages coming from an all-pervasive mass entertainment media.
We should continue public efforts to give parents tools to balance work and family and shield their children from harmful outside influences. For example, we should encourage employers to adopt family-friendly policies and practices such as parental leave, flex-time, and telecommuting. Public officials should speak out about violence in our culture and should press the entertainment media to adopt self-policing codes aimed at protecting children.
The Christian Coalition was founded in 1989 by Dr. Pat Robertson to give Christians a voice in government. We represent millions of people of faith and enable them to have a strong, unified voice in the conversation we call democracy.

The Larry Brown reunion tour part II of XXXVIII
Both teams are 1-2 and someone is going to leave Wednesday night's game at .500, so it may as well be us.
According to Rick Bonnell, Raymond Felton may be out with a sore hamstring so we'll likely have DJ as the starting PG.
May is still ... rotund, so I'm guessing that Jared Dudley will get another start at PF.
I think we're going to be 2-2 after this game, because if there is one organization that LB would like to beat it has to be the Knicks.
What do you think guys?
