A review of Allies: The U.S., Britain, Europe, and the War in Iraq, by William Shawcross; and Rogue Nation: American Unilateralism and the Failure of Good Intentions, by Clyde Prestowitz.
Clyde Prestowitz and William Shawcross make an odd couple. Shawcross began his career with a stinging indictment of American arms in Southeast Asia but in his latest book can hardly find anything about America to criticize. By his own account in Rogue Nation, Prestowitz began as an ardent supporter of the United States and has served his country in various capacities but now can hardly find anything about America to praise.
Prestowitz's argument is the more complex or confusing of the two. He begins with the fact that foreigners like Americans but care less and less for the United States. He offers a number of explanations for this, but often undermines them. For example, his analysis of the argument between the U.S. and the European Union over the Kyoto environmental treaty shows that the United States had the better case. The treaty was flawed and supported by the Europeans largely because Green environment ministers, leftists long antagonistic to the United States and its now world-dominating socio-economic system, flexed their political muscle. Prestowitz argues that faced with American resistance the Europeans came eventually to accept most of the changes that the Americans wantedyet we still walked away from the deal. Even if this is so, this episode hardly supports the charge that the U.S. unilaterally and arrogantly tried to sabotage an environmental treaty because its citizens are addicted to SUVs, a caricature of the American position put about by the Europeans and some American critics of the Bush Administration.
Similarly, Prestowitz argues that in the aftermath of World War II and during the Cold War, the United States was able to construct and maintain an international financial system that favors it, largely because the dollar is the global currency. This has bred resentment, according to Prestowitz. Yet as he suggests, the United States dominates the international financial system as part of a bargain in which it also assumes the main burden of maintaining order in the world. Not only does this require that we expend much more of our wealth on security than anyone else, but also that we pay with the lives of our citizens. It may be as Prestowitz maintains that more than ten years after the end of the Cold War this financial and security bargain needs further revision, but again his recounting of the bargain and the recent strains on it does not obviously show the United States to be at fault.
The same pattern emerges if we look at what may be to Prestowitz the most important of the specific problems between the U.S. and the rest of the world. He is very critical of what he calls the Bush Administration's foreign policy of "supremacy and preemptive attack." He notes that the last time Paul Wolfowitz, now the Deputy Secretary of Defense, was in the Pentagon in the early 1990s, the Defense Department developed a secret policy that called for the United States to act in such a way that no state would be able to emerge as what came to be called a peer competitor. When someone leaked this secret policy of preeminence to the press, it elicited a storm of criticism and was disavowed by the first Bush Administration. Prestowitz laments that this doctrine has now become the publicly declared policy of the current Bush Administration. Furthermore, he links it to the administration's doctrine of preemption, or striking terrorists before they strike us, and offers it as a manifestation of the new arrogant, bullying imperial temper of the United States.
Prestowitz's argument is confusing at this point because the policy of preeminence and the doctrine of preemption are in fact separate things. What Wolfowitz fathered secretly in the early 1990s and publicly ten years later is a quite normal aspiration for a nation in the position of the United States. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine any nation planning to reduce its influence and status in the world. We should be surprised to find a country not trying to improve its position. Since World War II, for example, France has relentlessly attempted to knit its tattered remnants into something resembling its lost glory. Britain, in the words of a former foreign minister, attempts to punch above its weight in the world. If Prestowitz's criticism were that the United States should not state the obvious and that in doing so it will only make life harder for itself by arousing jealousy and resentment, it would be a fair criticism. But Prestowitz does not seem to think that nations do or should think of their status in the world and so finds the vulgar chest thumping of the Bush Administration somehow a threat to international relations as we have known them since the Treaty of Westphalia. In fact, the Bush Administration has merely proclaimed openly what all nations think privately.
The revolutionary character that Prestowitz attributes to what he calls the Bush policy of "supremacy and preemptive attack" resides really in the second of its elements. The revolution is not in the idea of preemption, which has long been an acknowledged right of nations faced with an imminent threat. The revolution comes in a new understanding of "imminent." According to international law, as the Bush National Security Strategy document notes, a nation may respond to a threat of attack if the attack is imminent in the sense of "a visible mobilization of armies, navies, and air forces preparing to attack." But in a world where weapons of mass destruction "can be easily concealed, delivered covertly, and used without warning," the strategy argues, "we must adapt the concept of imminent threat." In other words, in the past the fact that an enemy had an army, navy, or air force was not sufficient to justify attacking him. These forces had to be poised to attack. Today, more destructive power than military forces of the past possessed can be contained in a few vials or a small device that can be concealed and used clandestinely. Therefore, the mere possession of weapons of mass destruction, along with hostile intent, makes a country or a group of terrorists a legitimate target for preemptive action. This is what the Bush national strategy means and what the war on Iraq exemplifies. Prestowitz recognizes this argument but does not probe its necessity. He merely offers it as another irritant to our relations with others, a policy we should apparently be willing to give up in order to reduce this irritation.
In all of these individual issues, as Prestowitz presents them, the United States is for the most part not obviously the bad guy, yet Prestowitz, like many around the world, finds the United States at fault. If the individual issues do not explain this antipathy, what might? Prestowitz's account suggests explicitly or implicitly several possibilities. First it is natural to resent the strongest, particularly if you were once the strongest. As Prestowitz makes clear statistically and anecdotally, our preeminence surpasses that of Rome or Great Britain at her height. Moreover, it is in the self-interest of others, confronted by our enormous power, to make us feel that we should not exercise it in our own self-interest. Thus they criticize in us what they themselves relentlessly do. Second, some Europeans do not want their cozy world rocked. The elites in these countries, particularly France, have struck a bargain that allows them to arrange a comfortable life for themselves in government and business in return for managing a state and economy in which workers get ever shorter work weeks and fatter and earlier pensions. This bargain is unsustainable in a world of open competition, the world that the United States pushes for, while trying to make exceptions to serve its own internal political needs. Finally, Prestowitz emphasizes process. As his narrative makes clear, he travels around the world to various meetings talking with the great and good about one pressing international problem after another. Everyone involved in these various peace, environmental, financial, and diplomatic processes focuses on keeping the processes going, fortified apparently by the belief that the processes themselves are good and will produce a better world. Failure to act in a way that will keep the processes going earns ostracism and disdain from the great and good. This has been the fate of the Bush Administration and thus the U.S., for the Bush Administration has focused not so much on the processes as good in themselves as on the rightness and wrongness of their objectives and on what will best serve the interests of the United States.
In all the trouble it has had with the rest of the world and in particular the Europeans, the United States has found a resolute ally in Great Britain and more particularly in Tony Blair. William Shawcross explains this by arguing that Bush and Blair, despite all their differences, have one most important thing in common. Unlike the leaders of other nations with whom they deal, they are what he calls conviction politicians, and their convictions arise from a shared Christian faith. Both Bush and Blair care more about the rightness and wrongness of what is done than about the various international processes that get these things done. They, particularly Bush, are willing to sacrifice the process for the sake of doing the right thing. As a practical matter of political survival, Blair cannot go so far in this direction as Bush, at least not publicly. Consequently, for example, he encouraged Bush to use the United Nations to resolve the dispute with Iraq. But in principle Bush and Blair, in Shawcross's account, are committed to doing the right thing and this commitment makes them true allies.
Shawcross contrasts Bush and Blair with Jacques Chirac and Gerhard Schroeder. In a book that is often nothing more than a smooth retelling of what has appeared in the international press, one of the more entertaining sections is Shawcross's recapitulation of Chirac's dealings with Saddam Hussein. Of many years standing and not to Chirac's credit, these include the deal that gave Saddam the nuclear reactor that Israel later blew up. Shawcross does not refrain from repeating rumors that Chirac took money from Saddam for his various election campaigns. Given that this sort of thing was a common practice among the French political elite, especially with some of Africa's worst tyrants, the rumors may well be true. This personal connection between Chirac and Saddam, coupled with French investment in Iraq and fear of the reaction among France's considerable Muslim population, explains, according to Shawcross, why France opposed Britain and the U.S. As for Schroeder, Shawcross presents him as a failed Chancellor who opposed the United States as the only possible way to win reelection and who has now legitimated anti-Americanism in Germany. Shawcross sees this as almost unparalleled ingratitude on the part of the Germans, who would not be as well off today as they are if it were not for the Americans.
Shawcross tries to make the contrast between Bush and Blair on the one hand and Chirac and Schroeder on the other all the starker through a long narrative meant to show why the invasion of Iraq was, as his final chapter puts it, "the right thing to do." This strategy ultimately fails. It is true that Saddam was vicious, that he may have possessed weapons of mass destruction, that his defiance of sixteen U.N resolutions threatened the integrity of the international legal system centered on the U.N., and that he was supporting suicide bombers in their attacks against Israel. Yet, even if all these things were true, they do not constitute a convincing argument for invading Iraq. For example, Shawcross fails to consider that some in Europe and the United States opposed the war solely on the issue of its timing, believing that dealing more effectively with al-Qaeda was a higher priority. In retrospect, it is clear that the effort in Iraq has detracted from the pursuit of al-Qaeda. Nor does Shawcross consider if Saddam's fall has made any difference in the Israeli-Palestinian dispute or even decreased the number of suicide attacks in this conflict. If the argument for invading Iraq is not self-evident, as Shawcross apparently thinks it is, then Chirac and Schroeder are not self-evidently corrupt self-interested knaves. They may be corrupt self-interested knaves who were right about the war against Iraq.
However this may be, Shawcross suggests that the problems that the United States has with the rest of the world, and particularly with other European countries, derive in large part from a fundamental difference. Bush exemplifies the American tradition of allowing convictions to influence the conduct of foreign relations. Because Blair shares this view, he is a true ally. Because others do not, they are not. Precisely this sort of distinction appalls someone like Prestowitz because it threatens the process. To the advocates of process, men of conviction appear to be rogues or fools.

Englewood hospital holds drive for adult care briefs; collects 1,000 items
ENGLEWOOD — While adult incontinence may still be a taboo subject, Fort Lee resident Marlene Ceragno's efforts to shed light on the high cost of adult care briefs on the senior population has steadily grown since she began collections for the products last July.
"I'm really trying to get word out there as much as possible," said Ceragno. "This subject has not been warmly received [in the past]."
What started as a single drive at Tenafly's JCC on the Palisades to collect adult care briefs for seniors has turned into a larger undertaking that resulted in the collection of more than 1,000 adult care briefs during a recent drive at Englewood Hospital and Medical Center. Through her efforts, Ceragno hopes to alleviate the stigma of seniors wearing absorbent undergarments and ensure that adult care briefs are readily accessible.
"Twenty-five percent of seniors living off social security cannot meet their basic needs," said Ceragno. "All those people are not eligible for Medicaid and are living on Medicare and Social Security. This is really out of their price range and they can't afford it."
Approximately 26 million Americans live with unitary incontinence, which many times leads to isolation and depression, according to The National Association for Continence. The annual cost of incontinence products now exceeds $1 billion and is set to grow further once the baby boomer population reaches advanced age.
Many seniors experiencing incontinence do not discuss the issue with their friends and family, with many becoming homebound to avoid social situations that might put them at risk. It is Ceragno's hope that by making adult care briefs more accessible and allowing the issue to become a more common topic of conversation, this stigma will slowly disappear.
"I've heard so many stories about how older people do not come to family functions because of these problems," said Ceragno. "They would not ask for these products or they were too embarrassed, since it's still such a taboo. It's heartbreaking that people are homebound when these items are available. Why should they be withdrawing from society?"
Ceragno was first introduced to the high cost of adult care briefs after becoming the primary caregiver of her 90-year-old aunt who is in need of incontinence products. When it became difficult for her aunt to purchase adult care briefs on a fixed Social Security income, Ceragno reached out to New Jersey's Division of Aging Service, NJ's Department of Health and Senior Service, and the Division of Disability Services for assistance, soon discovering that these organizations do not cover adult absorbent products.
In an effort to fulfill this need in the community, Ceragno began a drive to collect adult care briefs at the JCC on the Palisades in Tenafly last July, where she work as a recreational therapist for seniors. This drive resulted in the collection of approximately 7,000 adult care briefs.
Her efforts didn't stop there, however. She soon began organizing additional drives in other municipalities, with her most recent venture taking place at Englewood Hospital and Medical Center from Sept. 28 to Oct. 19.

Help from Santa in a Bad Economy
December 2, 2011
© Veer
'Tis the season of lengthy, crayon-scrawled Christmas lists being sent off to the North Pole by hopeful children. But in the face of a lagging economy, it seems that parents with lighter wallets have an unexpected ally in curbing their kids' unrealistic Christmas morning expectations: Santa Claus.
Students at the Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School in Michigan—considered the Harvard of Santa schools—are being taught how to rein-in excessive demands made by their little visitors, reports the New York Times.
Plus: Survey Results: When is it OK to be Honest About Santa Claus?
"I try to guide the children into not so unrealistic things, and I do tell them that Santa's been cutting back too," explained Tom Ruperd, a Santa from Michigan.
The school, which was founded in 1937 by former Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade Santa Charles W. Howard, trains other would-be Santas in the evolution of the character of Saint Nicholas, costume care and now, how to help parents who are in monetary binds. Times are tougher for many, but children still show up armed with ambitious printouts and catalogue clippings that have replaced more modest lists.
Plus: Kids Banned from Sitting on Santa's Lap
"When kids start asking for the world now, I just say, 'Hey, look, Johnny, you ain't getting all that,'" said Rick Parris, a former Alabama state trooper and seasonal Santa. "I just make sure to let them know that Santa seldom brings everything on a list."
Plus: Xmas Gifts for Less than $10
However, not all of the Christmas requests are materialistic. "If they asked for something that's totally impossible—a job for Daddy, say—I usually tell them, 'Santa specializes in toys, but we can always pray on the other,' " Ruperd said. " 'Is there anything in toys that you'd like?' "
Plus: 30 Stocking Stuffers for Kids Under $5
Have you had to cut back on Christmas presents due to the economy? How do you explain to your children that Santa cannot bring them everything they want?

Can anyone say... HEATED!!
What about EP II Boba? You know, the little kid w/ out any armour. Doesn't anybody like this version?
Actually..I like all of them..Not a big fan of Jango, though..He's cool, but too clean.
My vote is ESB simply because it was his first appearence and the way we all got to know him.
What about Shadows of the Empire Boba Fett?? That's my favorite, not to mention The Bounty Hunters War Trilogy Boba Fett. Just kiding, ESB Fett is the only one for me.
Poor pre-pro!!
I've not seen to many pics of a pre-pro Boba so ROTJ is the Boba for me
i declare that this poll stinks! there is no holiday special option!!!!
I thought I'd just stick with the four versions of Fett that we were the most familiar with. I guess I could have done a miscellaneous Fett category that included the Pre-Pre-Pro (albino) Fett, the Holiday Fett, Daniel Logan, and any other Fett I may have missed. Then again, mmmmm, no.
When is the Deadline for this Poll?
No deadline. It will just be a running total.
Very cool to see just how close this race is running. I tend to overlook Jango as he seems to be just the commerical exploitation of Boba but he sure seems to be holding his own!
OUCH! Had to put in my vote for Jango just for that one, Brak's.
Well, Jango fans, keep in mind that if you combine the esb and rotj, Boba is kicking Jango's a**!!!!! While we're bickering over which movie, Jango takes the lead!!! We should be ashamed of ourselves!!!
Ahhhhhh yes!!! Starting to feel good again!
I think someone ESB folks are being recruited.
YAA!!!! We are the best!!! Congrats ESB on our first major victory! We have finally showed who is the most liked here
I think you got that wrong actually... I would say we are the most hated!! Ha ha ha ha...
Liked... hated, it's all the same long as we won
Well Paid Killer wrote:
I think you got that wrong actually... I would say we are the most hated!! Ha ha ha ha...
That's it Jango's, give'em a false sense of security. Then, WHAM!!!:evil
Well, at least Jango's not totally lost...
oop, oop what's that I see up there? hehe...
Hey yeah! It's TEAM in da lead!!
Can I vote again? Jangos just gotta win!!
Thank you. Well.......I like Jango (growing on me, is more like it), but still think the armor looks too "haphazard". Think about it- Boba always looked balanced, with upper body armor, knees, etc. But Jango's is thrown on the front of his calves...the front of his thighs.....for WHAT? Sporting events? Is he a hockey goalie? It's just a bunch of PLATES. What about the BACKS of his legs? I know Boba never had that, but he didn't have imbalanced FRONT armor, either.

Then they clone him, and all the clones are sealed in, from head to toe.
Plus, the brown leather over plain metal armor "spots" looks funny to me. More armor, less leather.
I voted ROTJ....because IMO, he has the best gauntlets, jet pack, and blaster. Plus, he's dirtier. Not his best MOVIE........ but his best costume.
I like the ROTJ Fett costume BEST
looks the most bad ***
and besides remember
Its LOOKING good that is more important
than feeling good .
So sayith the Great Fernando Lamas
Really I vote for ROTJ Fett
Well I think TEAM ESB has this one in the bag kids. There should be an end to this pole so we can come back in a year or so and try it all over again. Let us have this victory already and stop dragging it out, we have won so let us celebrate it!:evil That being said...
Fellow soldiers of the faction that I have named TEAM ESB, please stand.
<font color="#00FF00">You have all made me proud and I am honored to say that we have completely and utterly taken over! We with our drab green gauntlets and jet pack have marched over the commercially excepted Boba and his technicolored dream coat (ROTJ) and Big daddy (the chicken that came long after the egg) Jango. Keep up the fight soldiers and by the next pole our numbers will have doubled! I for one solute you all...
This will not end that easily you evil bearded scoundrel
I don't think too many of the ESB were standing because some in the ESB camp as well as ROTJ have Jango attire!
You know who you are...and so do WE.
Ha ha ha ha... I feared that picture Seeker posted of you will hypnotize members to go Jango anyway so I tried to make a power move as quick as possible!!!

That's a cool way to express your feelings!!
Well, it looks like the results are in, and is the clear winner!
Who wudda thought? The dark horse candidate came through, beating the favorites!!
*walks on stage and bows*
*music notes*
We are the champions my friend... We'll keep on fighting till the end... No time for losers, cause we are the champions... of the WORLD!!
*end music notes*
*bows again to all the cheers in the crowd then walks off stage*
I'll be back
Over 700 members and only 127 votes? Nah, it ain't over yet.
Yeah yeah yeah, and all have had an applicable amount of time to respond to the pole if they cared to participate! ESBers have been a head of the game for months now and still receives no restitution??? BAH!
But did'nt Al Gore have more......nevermind
I say since its a close race...the first Fett that reaches 100 votes

clearly would be the "FETTEST OF THEM ALL"
unless the Boba Teams gave up already and don't want to play anymore which would result in FORFEIT.
So...is it GAME ON? :evil
Only way we'll ever know for sure is to make it compulsory to vote.
I Voted ROTJ, but have to concede that it looks like ESB has it. Come on ROTJers (is that a word?) Get clicking!
Uh-oh! Whats that I see? A few more Jango brothers coming aboard!.
The poll is getting pretty tight now!
Let's take a minute to figure this out...have you notice that everytime that something awful happens, there's always like a sometimes-week/year-long memorial? Look what happened to the World Trade Center on 9/11, the Space Shuttle "Columbia" (which I saw and remember it's first launch back in '80 on TV), well-known personalities deaths (sports, politics, science, movies, theatre, etc.)...
My point is, think about it for a minute and take a look to what happened to the last one of the Fett dinasty...he fell on the Sarlacc pit, thanks to our rebel scum Han Solo and his "Jedi" friend, Luke Skywalker. By some stupid accident, blaming on Luke that slashed his Blaster in half, and then using other methods as a last resorce on the Skiff, Solo then hit his Jet Pack that created a short circuit that caused it to ignite and lift poor B. Fett to crash into the Jabba's Sailer Barge, and then bouncing straigt to the Sarlaac pit (don't say anything, but I was told that he escaped shortly afterwards from it from the stories I was told)(Does Expanded Universe sounds to you??? )
After all, he's the one we've seen with more scenes with him with anyone else. Think about it...as a kid in Episode 2, in ANH at Bay 94 with Jabba in which he used the same costume used in ROTJ, then in ESB contracted by myself (different costume) competing with all the rest of the gang of Bounty Hunters for the prize of the guy who would be his henchman later on, then in his last (but not least) episode (ROTJ)which he really flights for the first time and then fights not just with one, but against 4 (Luke, Han, Chewie and Lando). Was that a fair fight?....HELL NO!!
For this reason, I say that the best Fett in the whole Saga. I ask you to make a minute of silence (not necessary, though), and praise the greatest of all Fett's. May the Force be with Boba (ROTJ)!!!
OOOHHHH...by the way...as of Jango (even that he's the father of the great one), if you wasn't able to use the Jet Pack...at least you've never heard about the terms "fire your @#$%&*# blasters faster" (you had two of them, for the force's sake!) or just "RRRUUUUUUNNN!"??? 'Cause there was certain Jedi Master who left you with no head and left poor Boba orphan.
And back at ESB...I didn't let you fire in the Freezing Chamber, besides, you were awful shooting at Luke when he was so close. You should used a better, and in this case, a longer and cooler Blaster like the one in ANH or ROTJ (same one). Just a little to think about.
BoJangle Fett is right, Look out Boba, Dad's creeping up on the outside.
I'm not sure if we watched the same movie but I do believe Boba lead him straight to Vader as told. I think Boba would have been in a little trouble if he would have killed off the emperors prize don't you?? Once again, ESB Boba did everything perfectly!

Good point WPK.
Boba has pulled back another couple of clicks since this morning. Phew (even though it is ESB - )
Jango's comin back sucka's
In Jango's Defense, He only had ONE blaster on Geonosis.(he lost the other one during the fight with Obi-Wan on Kamino)

Now I don't know why He didn't just use his flame thrower and fry that bald jedi (We blame George for writing that scene like that) but i guess you could say he tried using his JP and when it failed to work it was already too late.(He still should of fried him instead of shooting "reflectable" laser bolts)
I personaly like ESB better than all the other fetts(though jango would be second) and he was better in TESB(looked cooler, acted cooler, caught a major bounty, and DID NOT fall in a huge hole in the ground b/c of a blind guy or even DIE)
I agree with WPK about the whole shooting at luke thing. he wasn't actually supposed to kill luke, and obviously missed on purpose.
Now unfortunately my brother got to the voting post before i could and voted for Jango. Now that may be better than ROTJ but I would have voted ESB. and if i could then I would.
just our 2 cents.

Good call, my young Padawan! But I'd rather use another smiley that describes that pic and the feelings of other Fetts (not ROTJ, of course):

Hey, BJF...I still loved the pic with whe whinning deal. But I sense that you're one of the "headless" fans About the last pic....PHEEWWW!!! uke that really stinks in there!
But was able to get out later afterwards. At least he escaped and didn't lost his head!
I only mean it in a fun way only. Not towards any individual.
I'd expect it back all the same.
I have tons of admiration & respect for all people here.
Pics can have so many captions...I couldn't resist.
Wpk used the s word!
Wpk used the s word!
I reckon he was simply trying to type that if there were 4 (being the number that $ appears on) more HITS (votes) for ESB Boba, he'd be in the clear.
To be honest, I'm not surprised that WPK made a typo. He was probably so shocked at the fact that Jango devotees have clearly hacked the TDH voting system to bump up the Jango votes
Yeah, we are back on top. I think that the name of The Undented Helmet (TUH) would be funny so lets keep Boba on top.
What S word??? WPK has not used bad language.
:evil Just hilarious! :evil
UH-OH... Someones pulling away from the pack again!!! :evil
PMed a few people did ya wpk?
NEVER! But hey Mgr, take a look at that poor sap ROTJs numbers would yuh... Now thats funny!

Yay !!!
(did I say that?)
That a boy mgr!! Feels good don't it!!
JANGO LIVES FOR EVER...... ok soo he's dead. HE LIVES FOR EVER IN HELL. and for all you esb and rotj fans. think of it this way. Jango is cleander because... HE DIDNT GET HIT A OFFTEN. but i understand boba did get Jasters armor, if memory severs, plus who likes a guy who got eaten by a giant .... ahhem.
All I could say is that even if fell in that giant...whatever, at least he was DEEEEP in it!
Besides, he came out as well. (Classic Player!)
is the man!!!
Wow! were at the 50 yard line with ESB at 51
Jango at 50.
Very, very close!
Okay Team Jango....we need to turn up the heat!
Hi Guys,
Have just entered my vote for my favorite Fett.I must say that i cannot beleive that Jango(although as good as he is!) is keeping up with ESB Boba in the poll.Thats a surprise to me.
I myself am an ESB Boba Fett person.The reason for this is that:
1)It was the first time i saw him
2)He just looks more like the filthy dirty bounty hunting scum that he is
3)At least he says a bit more in ESB giving the character more personality.All you hear in Jedi is a scream if i remember rightly.
4)Anyone decent bounty hunter deserves to die with more dignity,although i think he deserved to go into the Sarlacc just for using his Helmet and Backpack for practising graffiti on.What was he thinking when he was doing that.
Now we come to his father.Like i said before i think he is an amazing character, but lets face facts he looks like he would be well suited in the Blue Oyster Bar out of 'POLICE ACADEMY' by wearing that armour.He was just too clean for my liking and nothing like the rugged scum his son turned out to be.
ESB rules!
Muh ha ha ha ha ha... EXCELLENT! :evil
Well, probably ROTJ Boba was practicing graffitti in his Jet Pack, or even testing colors to look more "brighter"...he probably just said one word in the movie (YYAAAAAAHHHGGGGHHH!!!), but at least he was still nasty and dirty, even more faded in color I would say. He was flirting with girls at Jabba's palace. The most silenced ones are the most dangerous (never heard about this before?), we've seen for the first time other uses for his gauntlets (the Jango rope is old news for us now, but I give you the one with the spikes/spurs while going down the wall in Kamino). But most important...he got out of the giant...(whatever) later in the story (Expanded Universe...sounds familiar to you???) Read my last post!!
I feel a little dissapointed with the rating they gave him in the poll... HAS MORE VOTES THAN ??? This is an outrage!!! I WANT A VOTE RECOUNT! (Hey...this sounded familiar to me, and the Force is telling me: Gore, Gore, Gore 2000!)
I love this group, though.
Whats that?
Another jango vote?
Were slowly comin back
Yeah, Boba did turn out to be some kind of scum....he wears a beach blankie and sports the THONG!

I could hear the Police Academy "Blue Oyster Club" music sounding off in the background of this one...Quote:
You were saying?
Is that Clint Eastwood?
...at least he doesn't wear a thong! Long live the loose fit! Go Jango!!
You're absolutely right. Thank goodness he doesn't wear really tight leather bongage straps around his thighs, too. Oh no.....Wait, look at those unnecessarily tight holster straps! :o
Okay...well at least Jangos blankie doesnt have that mystery "brown streak" running through the middle of it!
All in fun everyone...that's all.
No mystery, it's from the thong!
There you go team Jango, one more for the good guys! Long live double blasting bad a**es!
read the sig, check the applicable box
Now can we get a Jaster Mereel up there from OS?
Yeah, how 'bout it? He's not a Fett, but he's one of the most well-known Mandalorians (back when Mandalorian was plural). He'd get my vote in an instant.
Yea, lets start a "I vote for a Jaster Mereel little face thingy"
I'm backing ROTJ boba, I think its the burgundy gauntlets that seal the deal for me!
Jango, because he actually looked competent in his equipment. ESB Boba just stood there and ROTJ Boba got his butt kicked.
Those are fighting words around here
Come now, ESB Boba has had the lead for sooo long now, there really is nothing left but the fight for second place...
ESB Boba was the one that started it all...everything else came afterwards...
In my own opinion, I think OS Jaster Mereel is dominate
*cough aoiusfdauiufbESBuwefiwueubtibu cough*
Yes, definately. C'mon, Mods...
I like ESB the most but have a ROTJ myself. I'm hoping to make or convert to ESB. Only time will tell what I end up with
Come on, Jango's!! 3 more votes and we can tie em!!
It ain't gonna happen Give up.

The Conspirators
Comments101this wiki
The Conspirators | |
Quest Overview | |
18,000 Exp. 35 Rift Crystals | |
The Conspirators is a quest available in Dragon's Dogma.
Return the Confidential Letter to Fedel
After a meeting at nightfall with Fedel the Arisen must make his/her way to the Soulflayer Canyon to retrieve a Confidential Letter.
The quest begins by talking to Fedel in the Gathering Hall in The Castle(above the duke's Audience Chamber).
After accepting the quest, and agreeing to meet Fedel at nightfall, wait by the area marked on your map. You may not find Fedel at the prescribed location right away, but he will slowly make his way from the castle to the garden area. Just have a little bit of patience.It ends when you bring back the Confidential Letter to Fedel, Ser Gabrian, or both (via use of a forgery). Please note, this is one way to get the trophy/achievement The Knave. By using the forgery option you will be able to obtain the reward for the quest twice, from Fedel and Ser Gabrian. It is best given at night, however, as then you can give it to both of them at the same time. It will say, "COMPLETED" but Fedel will still come out with a blue "?" over his head.
For those of purer intentions, it would appear that Fedel is correct about signs of a rebellion and Ser Gabrian is trying to prevent news of it from reaching the duke.
For those having difficulty navigating Soulflayer Canyon. Take a left at the fork-in-the-road. After defeating the Cyclops on the bridge, continue straight until you reach a steap grade. Slide down the left side to a landing that you'd miss had you gone right; the second slide, stay left (the right side will send you sliding to your doom); the third, stay right. While retrieving the Confidential Letter, make sure to pick up the 10 Parcels lying next to it on the ground, for another quest, Parcel Service. Must be completed before the completion of both the quests, Trials and Tribulations and Griffin's Bane, otherwise this quest will be cancelled.
- 4/16/2013 : Just completed this quest WAY after Trials and Tribulations so THAT part is not true (at least not anymore, game patch/update maybe...). But I haven't' started Griffin's bane yet though. Also, I turned it in to Fedel in the middle of the day on the stairs behind the throne with the Duke sitting in it. So apparently it doesn't need to be turned in at night anymore either.
- 5/26/2013 : After defeating Griffin's Bane, you can still do this quest, just don't report back yet to Aldous or this quest will be cancelled, and you can not undo it because it will automatically save the game, unless you're quick and can quit the game before it'll be saved. I've completed Trials and Tribulations without affecting this quest as well. - "Dark Arisen"
If you're playing as a character who has Frigor and Levitate, the parcels can be reached rather easily. Create an ice platform (via Frigor) right at the edge of the cliff near the right of where you entered the Canyon. After that, do a dashing jump off of the ice platform and then levitate the rest of the way to the other cliff in the distance. Move forward a little after landing and you'll reach the area with the parcel. Of course, if the timing on levitate is bad, or frigor wasn't positioned properly, you'll fall to your doom instead.
- 6/10/2013 : This does not work as frigor will not make a stepping stone far enough for you to make the jump and levitate right, tried multiple times with the furthest I could make the stepping stone. I would land a few inches, not even that, short every time.
If you refuse to give the letter to Ser Gabrian when you speak with him, you will not be able to offer him the letter or a forgery later. Be sure to make a forgery before speaking with either person. Both can be turned in and the quest reward obtained twice.
- Creating a Forgery, and handing it in to both parties nets you double the reward, with no consequence.
- Completing both quests Trials and Tribulations and Griffin's Bane will cancel this quest.
- Entering from the West Entrance that is near the Greatwall is the shortest way to reach the destination.
- It appears that if you give Fedel the letter without opening or reading it you get a unique dialogue.

LAFAYETTE — State Police have arrested a Lafayette woman on allegations she made a child perform sex acts for money four years ago at locations throughout Lafayette Parish.
Katherine Vidrine, 37, was booked Monday evening into the Lafayette Parish Correctional Center on counts of trafficking of children for sexual purposes and principal to molestation of a juvenile, Trooper Stephen Hammons said.
Hammons said State Police in Lafayette received a complaint about Vidrine several weeks ago.
"As detectives' investigation into the complaint continued, it was learned that Vidrine was present during some of the sexual acts," Hammons said.
He did not disclose in the release information about the alleged victim's identity, gender or current age, or where in Lafayette Vidrine was living when she was arrested.
"A child's innocence is something that is very precious," said Col. Mike Edmonson, State Police superintendent. "To think that someone robbed this child of that is incomprehensible."

Spawn is very expensive... And dude, whoever told you that IDS is great is clearly missing a few screws.
What are your goals, I may be able to direct you into a better direction...
Hey now, I'm actually liking Mass Tabs. Really though, I wouldn't pay the $60-80 asking price for Spawn. I'd just buy a similar Tren(probably G.E.T. Tren-250)product and stack it with Havoc or Epidrol. You could control the dosages a bit better and have a better balance of the effects.
great results!! will cycle again.
Works Great!! gained 10 pounds!!!
Mass Tabs?? Get your bloodwork done then come back and see what you think about them.
Spawn is pretty sick. I love his biomechanical bodysuit that responds to his will
Half the price of spawn, and almost identical formula.
Why pay $80 or $90 bucks for Spawn when Epiotren or hemobolin 250 is like $40 or $50
Spawn is great! I gained 8 lbs in 2 weeks and my strength went through the roof! I put 50 lbs on my dead in 2 weeks.
Are they still make the stuff. It's hard to find in my area.
Spawn is a great product and my first hand experience was worth the money, I saw a 17 pound increase in lean body mass as well as a 30 lb increase in bench press, 45 pound increase in Squats and a 25 pound increase in Power Clean within a 4 week cycle.
Epi and Tren is a genius Pro hormone blend utilizing the pure mass gaining of Tren and the estrogen inhibiting and strengths gains from epistine , I used nucare's livshield, 1/2 dose of Lg's Formadrol, ZMA and Diindolylmethane from Nature's way DIM-Plus for PCT and maintained all of my gains, saw no estrogen kickback either.
Note: Maintained 2 grams of protein per pound of Bodyweight during and post cycle
right now im running spawn with liver supp and cycle support animal pak im about top be finished in 2 days ive been power lifting so ive been eating very clean i didnt have huge mass gain i look alot fuller and my waist shrank a size or so my strength went through the roof i hit 275 with a bench suit that was a 50 lbs increase and 415 on squat with wraps im very impressed with this ph for pct i will be running animal test liver fix and clomid 50/50/25/25 just in case i will also be taking kilo sports clomed 1 a day i dont want to lose any of my hard earned gains or grow bitch tits how does this look?

4dr HB SXT
Starting at | Starting at 23 MPG City - 27 MPG Highway
The 2012 Dodge Caliber is squarely in the small car category, offered as a 5-door hatchback. With bold styling and a new trim lineup, the Caliber combines a sporty coupe-like profile with the functionality of a larger wagon or small SUV, the fuel economy of a small car, the Caliber appeals to buyers who might consider the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla or Chevrolet Cruze.
The Caliber's lineup has been revised again and the trims are now known as SE, SXT and SXT Plus, but the relative equipment remains similar to 2011, but with a few changes. Mango Tango Pearl paint is no longer available, and Redline has been added. The SXT, or the 'Heat' as it was once known, no longer offers a manual transmission and now comes with 17-inch wheels as standard equipment and the SXT Plus gets 18-inch wheels.
The 2012 Dodge Caliber hatchback comes with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine that makes 158 horsepower. It's connected to either a 5-speed manual gearbox or an optional continuously-variable transmission (CVT).

Prerequisite: HIST 218 or permission of the instructor (First semester—odd years/3 credits)
Between 1877 and 1929, the United States wrestled with the wrenching social, political, cultural and economic transformations that accompanied the second industrial revolution. Additionally, America entered the world stage as an imperial power, experienced an unprecedented wave of immigration and witnessed the rise of cities that were far beyond the imagination of any of nation's founders. This course will address the ways in which Americans responded to the crises caused by industrialization, immigration and urbanization with special emphasis on Progressive Era reform.

Czech Republic and Portugal 0-0 at halftime |
WARSAW, Poland (AP) -The Czech Republic stifled the creative flair of Cristiano Ronaldo with tight marking to keep the score 0-0 at halftime against Portugal on Thursday in the European Championship quarterfinals.
Ronaldo wandered from left to right and back again looking for space, but beyond hitting the post in injury time, he exemplified Portuguese frustration.
Despite the absence of injured captain Tomas Rosicky and the inclusion of several inexperienced internationals, the Czech Republic often controlled the flow of play and sometimes even threatened the goal of Rui Patricio.
To add to Portuguese worries, striker Helder Postiga had to be stretchered off with an apparent right hamstring injury in the 40th minute.

Coconut milk
Coconut milk | |
Main ingredient(s) | Coconut |
Coconut milk is the liquid that comes from the grated meat of a coconut. The colour and rich taste of the milk can be attributed to the high oil content. Most of the fat is saturated fat. Coconut milk is a very popular food ingredient used in Southeast Asia.
Several grades of coconut milk exist: from thick at 20-22% fat to thin at 5-7% fat level. Thick milk can be prepared by directly squeezing grated coconut meat through cheesecloth. The squeezed coconut meat is then soaked in warm water and squeezed a second or third time for thin coconut milk. Thick milk is mainly used to make desserts as well as rich and dry sauces. Thin milk is used for soups and general cooking. This distinction is usually not made in Western nations since fresh coconut milk is rare, and most consumers buy coconut milk in cans.
Coconut water is the watery liquid that comes from the young, still immature green coconut. Often the still jelly-like coconut meat is also added to make a tropic drink.
Coconut milk can be made at home by processing grated coconut with hot water or milk, which extracts the oil and aromatic compounds. It has then a fat content of 17-24% depending on the fat level of the coconut meat and the quantity of added water. When refrigerated and left to set, coconut cream will rise to the top and separate out from the milk. To avoid this in commercial sold coconut milk, an emulsifier(s) and a stabiliser(s) have to be used.
Canned coconut milk[edit]
Manufacturers of canned coconut milk typically combine thin and thick milk, with the addition of water as a filler. An official world standard can be found at Codex Alimentarius, STAN 240-2003.
Depending on the brand and age of the milk itself, a thicker, more paste-like consistency floats to the top of the can, and is sometimes separated and used in recipes that require coconut cream rather than coconut milk. Shaking the can prior to opening will even it out to a creamy thickness. Some brands sold in Western countries add thickening agents and/or emulsifiers to prevent the milk from separating inside the can, since the separation tends to be misinterpreted as an indicator of spoilage by people unfamiliar with coconut milk.
Once opened, cans of coconut milk must be refrigerated[1] and are usually only good for a few days. If not, the milk can sour and spoil easily.
In food[edit]
Fresh coconut milk has a consistency and mildly sweet taste similar to that of cow's milk, and if properly prepared, should have little or no coconut odour. It may be consumed raw by itself, or used as a milk substitute in tea, coffee, or baking by vegans or people allergic to animal milk. It can also be mixed with fruit to make a yoghurt substitute.
Coconut milk is a common ingredient in many tropical cuisines, such as Burmese, Cambodian, Filipino, Indian, Indonesian, Malaysian, Singaporean, Sri Lankan, Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese Malaysian and Southern Chinese, as well as Brazilian, Caribbean, Polynesian, and Pacific islands cuisines. Frozen coconut milk tends to stay fresh longer, which is important in dishes in which the coconut flavor is not competing with curries and other spicy dishes.
Coconut milk is the base of many Indonesian, Malaysian, Sri Lankan and Thai curries. To make the curry sauce, the coconut milk is first cooked over fairly high heat to break down the milk and cream and allow the oil to separate. The curry paste is then added, along with any other seasonings, meats, vegetables or garnishes.
In Indonesia, coconut milk and rice flour are the main ingredients for traditional serabi cakes.
In Brazil, coconut milk is mostly used in the northeastern cuisine, generally with seafood stews, and in desserts. In particular, several dishes from Bahia are known to use both coconut milk and palm oil.
In drink[edit]
In southern China and Taiwan, sweetened "thin" coconut milk is served on its own as a drink during spring and summer. It is made by adding sugar and evaporated or fresh milk during the process of preparing the coconut milk. Another Chinese drink is coconut milk diluted with water, then mixed with fresh or evaporated milk in a 1:1 ratio and a spoon of condensed milk or sugar for each cup. They are served chilled.
In Brazil, coconut milk is mixed with sugar and cachaça to make a cocktail called batida de côco. Piña colada typically contains coconut milk or coconut cream. An eggnog called coquito con ron can be made with coconut milk (either freshly-extracted or canned).[2]:183
In Rennell Island, Solomon Islands, local home-brew is made by fermenting coconut milk, yeast and sugar in a bin and leaving it hidden in the bush for about a week. This coconut rum is mentioned in the song "Poppa Joe" by The Sweet.

One of the most prominent components of coconut milk is coconut oil, which the United States Food and Drug Administration,[3] World Health Organization,[4] International College of Nutrition,[5] the United States Department of Health and Human Services,[6] American Dietetic Association,[7] American Heart Association,[8] British National Health Service,[9] and Dietitians of Canada[7] recommend against consuming in significant amounts due to its high levels of saturated fat.
Coconut milk contains a large proportion of lauric acid, a saturated fat that raises blood cholesterol levels by increasing the amount of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol[10] that is also found in significant amounts in breast milk and sebaceous gland secretions.[11] This may create a more favourable blood cholesterol profile, though it is unclear if coconut oil may promote atherosclerosis through other pathways.[10] Because much of the saturated fat of coconut oil is in the form of lauric acid, coconut oil may be a better alternative to partially hydrogenated vegetable oil when solid fats are required.[12] In addition, virgin coconut oil is composed mainly of medium-chain triglycerides,[13] which may not carry the same risks as other saturated fats.[12][14] Early studies on the health effects of coconut oil used partially hydrogenated coconut oil, which creates trans fats, and not virgin coconut oil, which has a different health risk profile.[15]
Coconut milk is rich in medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), which the body processes differently than other saturated fats. MCFAs may help promote weight maintenance without raising cholesterol levels.[16]
In 1943, Johannes van Overbeek discovered that coconut milk actively encourages plant growth. This was later discovered to be due to a number of factors, but predominantly the existence in the milk of a cytokinin known as zeatin. It does not speed up growth in some plants such as radishes.[17]:8 The addition of 10% coconut milk to the substrate in which wheat is grown has shown substantial improvements in yield.[18]

Getting Set for 2009
I have taken in a lot of economic data and analysis regarding the business outlook for 2009. I know one thing for sure, I don't quite know what to expect.
It looks like we are in the start of a general recession but there is not a slowdown for sure in fluid power sales and shipments. Some companies are reporting slight downturns in Q4 but not enough to call it a pattern for sure.
The report from a recent economic webcast on fluid power reflected that we might see negative growth for the next year or so in our industry.
At any rate, one theory on advertising states that now is a very good time to advertise. Especially when advertising is down, a company's advertising investment is worth more. If there truly are fewer companies advertising then the companies that do continue to invest in their future through advertising will stand out even more making their advertising more effective.
Things will get better and when they do, the companies that have invested throughout the downturn will be positioned for the best gains. They will have gained valuable market share with the same customers who are there in good times and bad.
So, don't be hasty to cut marketing and advertising in a down market. It is actually the best time to invest.
