Amy Klobuchar on War & Peace
DFL Sr Senator (MN)
KLOBUCHAR: As of Thanksgiving, we're going to have been in this war longer than WWII. If together with other countries we were able to solve that situation, we can work with others to solve this one.
KENNEDY: We need to listen to the commanders in the field. If they say we need more troops, than I want to make sure they have more troops.
KLOBUCHAR: Iraq has devolved into a civil war. I believe it's time to transition to Iraqi authority and let this government run its own country. The way you do this is not by adding more troops, or by saying that we'll have the same number of troops in 2010. It's by beginning to bring our troops home, or to redeploy them.
KLOBUCHAR: I have never been one to say "Bring them all home tomorrow." Despite my opposition to the war from the beginning, we have to be responsible about how we bring our troops home.
KENNEDY: She's also come out against a bill funding body armor for our troops that a majority of Democrats join me in supporting.
KLOBUCHAR: Of course I support body armor for our troops, I support winning this war on terror by being smart. We need to transition to Iraqi governance, we need to send the clear message that they have to take control of their own government, and that means no permanent military bases. The congressman & I differ on this. This means not saying 2010 we're going to have the same number of troops. We need to be more accountable for the help that we're giving Iraq.
KLOBUCHAR: The best way that we can protect our troops is to get this policy right, and I believe that that means changing course in Iraq. Clearly, at this late date in mid-October, we can't bring a significant number home. We have to be reasonable. I have never been one to say "Bring them all home tomorrow." I have never subscribed to one of those mandatory dates, because I understand that, despite my opposition to the war from the beginning, that we have to be responsible about how we bring our troops home.
Q: So you're saying now that's probably not doable. What about a "vast majority in 2007," which is what you said also?
KLOBUCHAR: These predictions were built on the promises and the predictions of progress from this administration, and we simply haven't seen that. So you have to be reasonable in what you're going to do here.
KENNEDY: Let's talk about what the 16 agencies said. They said that we are clearly activating terrorists in Iraq, having taken the challenge to them. But they also said we have to prevail. If we don't prevail, it will greatly mushroom this threat, let it grow in size, and come to face our future generations. They said that if we, if we lose, that's what will happen; if we win, we will greatly degrade what's happening on the other side.
Whether it was their categorical (but false) assertions about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, or their repeated (but unsupported) claims of Iraq's ties to Al Qaeda, or their frequent (but untrue) assurances that America would go to war only with broad international support, or their constant (but divisive) attempts to "spin" the war by going after those who disagreed with them, the Bush-Cheney administration did not give honest information to the American people. This conduct has not only damaged America's credibility throughout the world, but also undermined the American people's confidence in our own government.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. LEVIN: "The amendment requires redeployment be completed within 9 months. At that point, funding for the war would be ended, with four narrow exceptions:"
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Sen. McCAIN: "This year, after nearly 4 years of mismanaged war, our military has made significant gains under the so-called surge. Overall violence in Iraq has fallen to its lowest level since [2003]. Improvised explosive device blasts now occur at a rate lower than at any point since September 2004.
"Al-Qaida's leadership knows which side is winning in Iraq. It may not be known in some parts of America and in this body, but al-Qaida knows. We are succeeding under the new strategy.
"Given these realities, some proponents of precipitous withdrawal from Iraq have shifted their focus. While conceding, finally, that there have been dramatic security gains, they have begun seizing on the lackluster performance of the Iraqi Government to insist that we should abandon the successful strategy and withdraw U.S. forces. This would be a terrible mistake."
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. LIEBERMAN: Some of our colleagues thought the Sense of the Senate may have opened the door to some kind of military action against Iran [so we removed some text]. That is not our intention. In fact, our intention is to increase the economic pressure on Iran and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps so that we will never have to consider the use of the military to stop them from what they are doing to kill our soldiers.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Sen. BIDEN. I will oppose the Kyl-Lieberman amendment for one simple reason: this administration cannot be trusted. I am very concerned about the evidence that suggests that Iran is engaged in destabilizing activities inside Iraq. Arguably, if we had a different President who abided by the meaning and intent of laws we pass, I might support this amendment. I fear, however, that this President might use the designation of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist entity as a pretext to use force against Iran as he sees fit. [The same was done with the Senate resolution on Iraq in 2002]. Given this President's actions and misuse of authority, I cannot support the amendment.
Proponents recommend voting YES because:
Our troops are caught in the midst of a civil war. The administration has begun to escalate this war with 21,000 more troops. This idea is not a new one. During this war, four previous surges have all failed. It is time for a different direction. It is time for a drawdown of our troops.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
This resolution calls for imposing an artificial timeline to withdraw our troops from Iraq, regardless of the conditions on the ground or the consequences of defeat; a defeat that will surely be added to what is unfortunately a growing list of American humiliations. This legislation would hobble American commanders in the field and substantially endanger America's strategic objective of a unified federal democratic Iraq that can govern, defend, and sustain itself and be an ally in the war against Islamic fascism. The unintended consequence of this resolution is to bring to reality Osama bin Laden's vision for Iraq; that after 4 years of fighting in Iraq the US Congress loses its will to fight. If we leave Iraq before the job is done, as surely as night follows day, the terrorists will follow us home. Osama bin Laden has openly said: America does not have the stomach to stay in the fight. He is a fanatic. He is an Islamic fascist. He is determined to destroy us and our way of life.
Sponsor's introductory remarks: Sen. BIDEN: This bipartisan resolution opposes the President's plan to escalate the war in Iraq. This resolution says what we and many of our colleagues, Democrats and Republicans, are against: deepening America's military involvement in Iraq by escalating our troop presence. Just as important, it says what we and many of our colleagues are for: a strategy that can produce a political settlement in Iraq. That's the only way to stop Shiites and Sunnis from killing each other and allow our troops to leave Iraq without leaving chaos behind.

The Jaguars' stunning announcement that it was releasing QB David Garrard was the result of the veteran's inability to perform at a high level.
Jaguars will take time to develop rookie signalcaller

Bryan Florentin
PhotographySenior Lecturer
M.F.A., The University of North Texas
Florentin received his MFA in Photography in 1998 from The University of North Texas, studying art history with an emphasis on critical theory. ARTIST'S STATEMENT Most of my recent work is relatively small-scale installation. Inasmuch as it privileges content and idea over appearance, it owes a debt to conceptual art. Like a lot of idea-driven work, the form that the work takes is integral and inseparable from the content/idea. Although my work is not necessarily media-specific, it frequently involves a photographic component and/or text. Most of the writing is short narrative and speaks of experiences and observations categorized by topics such as looking, desire, and language. Work that does not employ text may also fit thematically or conceptually into the same categories. The text of Interior is a short story that deals mostly with looking in general and with the relationship between observer and observed specifically. The story in conjunction with the rest of the work looks at various forms of imprisonment and constraint: being trapped in one's own body and in one's own head; accidents of birth that configure the physical and psychological self; and the contrast between self-imposed and externally implemented degrees of physical and psychological imprisonment. Ideas that figure into some of my other work or that influence my creative process: the role that photography plays as part of the machinery of mass media production, distribution, and consumption; the morphological aspects of photography, such as how it can be a technology or a medium depending on its use, and how a given image can be information, data, "evidence," or art depending, at least in part, on context; the concepts of masculinity and gender identification in relation to sexuality; the question of whether or not human subjects are always/sometimes/never an object in the photographic scheme of things, and at what point(s) in the scheme does objectification reside if it lodges there at all; and, related to this last issue, are actual corporeal humans more likely to be psychologically configured as objects as a result of the surplus of photographic imagery in contemporary culture

In Reports on March Deficit, Wire Services 'Forget' to Tell Readers Spending Reached All-Time Highs
In a business that is supposed to treat record achievements, dubious or otherwise, as news, it's more than a little curious to note that the Associated Press's Martin Crutsinger, along with Reuters and AFP, all "somehow" forgot to tell readers that March's reported federal outlays, as seen in the Monthly Treasury Statement released today, came in at an all-time record of $339.047 billion, and that this year's spending through six months of $1.849 trillion -- also an all-time record -- is 3.5% higher than last year's comparable figure of $1.786 trillion ($1.671 trillion plus a non-cash credit of $115 billion explained here last year).
This year's six-month spending total annualizes out to $3.7 trillion, an amount that is almost $1 trillion, or 36%, higher than fiscal 2007. Though spending is the self-evident real problem, frontline reporters and their bosses would apparently prefer that news consumers not see how ugly those numbers really are.
Reuters and AFP can cop out to an extent by claiming that their reports were short. Crutsinger, who used about 575 words in his dispatch, has no such excuse. Here are selected paragraphs from his rendition, indicating that he preferred to relay days-old shutdown-prevention news over fully informing readers of the Monthly Treasury Statement's contents:
... The Treasury Department reported Tuesday that the deficit already totals $829.4 billion through the first six months of the budget year - a figure that until 2009 would have been the biggest ever for an entire year. For March alone, the government ran a deficit of $188 billion.
President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans averted a government shutdown last week by agreeing to the largest-ever spending cuts for a single year. But David Wyss, chief economist at Standard & Poor's in New York, said those cuts amount to a "rounding error" in this year's deficit.
The cuts include unspent money from the 2010 census, which is completed, and $2.5 billion from the most recent repeal of highway programs that can't be spent because of restrictions set by other legislation. They also include $3.5 billion in unused bonuses for states that enroll more children in a health care program for lower-income families.
Wyss expects the deficit will surpass the record of $1.41 trillion hit in 2009. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office raised its estimate earlier this year from $1.1 trillion to $1.5 trillion. A tax-cut package negotiated in December by Obama and Republicans, which includes a one-year reduction in the Social Security payroll tax, prompted the CBO to raise its estimate.
Sure Marty, it's all the fault of that "tax-cut package." Give me a break. Though it did reduce Social Security taxes by two percentage points for this year only, the legislation negotiated in December did not cut federal income tax rates at all. Instead, it avoided avoided tax increases which everyone with a brain agreed would do damage to the historically weak recovery from the recession that ended in June 2009.
Crutsinger also "somehow" forgot that the pile of refuse known at the White House's February budget projected a fiscal 2011 deficit of $1.645 trillion.
It's really easy to forget that spending levels should be going down, partially because the economy is sort-of recovering, but far more importantly because the 2009-2010 disaster known as the "stimulus," which by itself was supposed to have inflated spending by $400 billion in both fiscals years, is basically over. Notice that spending has not only not gone down, it has increased, showing that the "stimulus," regardless of its alleged intentions, ended up being more about increasing the spending baseline than it was about bringing about an economic recovery.
President Obama, as noted yesterday (at NewsBusters; at BizzyBlog) has decided to recast himself as a born-again deficit-cutter after two months of deliberately sitting on the sidelines with a budget proposal that was absurd on its face on the mid-February day it was issued. His current solutions, predictably, include a trillion-dollar dose of tax increases.
The wire services' collective failures to report record spending levels plays right into the administration's desire to put tax increases back on the table. How convenient.

I'm no soothsayer...
Submitted by Slyrr on Tue, 04/12/2011 - 7:48pm.
I'm not a soothsayer or a prophet. But I think I've got a pretty good idea what Obama is going to say in his 'speech' tomorrow. Look for the following:
1) The phrase 'let me be clear' will be repeated several times. (or 'make no mistake')
2) Obama will wag his finger in our collective faces constantly from beginning to end.
3) Obama will say 'the previous administration' several times (or 'the previous eight years')
4) The words 'failed policies of the past' will be invoked.
5) At some point, the word 'extreme' will be used (in conjunction with 'my friends from across the aisle')
6) Declare that 'the rich aren't paying their fair share' (along with some pap about 'skin in the game')
7) A story involving the suffering of 1-2 handpicked 'victims' will be used to say why the remaining 400 million must 'pay'.
And what rainbows will Obama blast out of his candy backside to tout at fixes for the debt monster he created? I can predict that too.
1) Invest trillions of dollars in 'green energy'.
2) Raise debt limit so he and Biden can keep 'spending our way out of debt'.
3) Gut the military.
4) Raise taxes.
5) Let Obama seize control of more private businesses.
6) Trust him.
7-10,000) Raise taxes.
10,000-Googleplex) Raise taxes.
Googleplex-Infinity) Raise taxes.
Wish I was wrong. Bet I'm not.

Lesley University's unique science and service semester in Guyana wins a national award.
Thursday, May 01, 2014
He achieved this experience through the Guyana Lesley Abroad Service Semester (GLASS), an innovative program that weaves ecological education, the study of indigenous culture, and community service in the South American savannah and rain forest.
"The overall experience was amazing, from getting to immerse myself in a culture that is unknown to most people, to doing hands-on work that helped me progress as a biology major," reflects Makenzie, who is now a senior at Lesley.
The first study abroad program in Guyana, Lesley's program facilitates cultural exchange between students and the Macushi people of the Yupukari region, supporting a local initiative to increase literacy and numeracy among the indigenous population, while providing hands-on environmental studies. The program recently won national acclaim from the Forum on Education Abroad, which honored program co-founder Alice Layton with the Award for Excellence in Education Abroad Curriculum Design for the Indigenous Natural Resource Ecology course.
"This program restores some of the connection we've lost with nature and our own roots as humans," says Dr. David Morimoto, Director of Lesley's Natural Science and Mathematics division. "This is being driven by the real-world problems of indigenous people of Guyana, who face threats to their environment, land, culture and even language, and they need a voice and are benefiting from the power of education."The program creates apprenticeships for students with villagers for practice-based study of tropical ecology, indigenous knowledge, and cross-cultural eco-pedagogy.
"Study abroad is place-based education, and indigenous knowledge is also place-based," explains Alice Layton.
"It's learning to look at your own culture and other cultures consciously, and it's about community service – giving students the lifelong skill of being a helper, whatever profession they choose."

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Federal authorities say an Arizona man is facing numerous charges of identity theft and false claims in connection with a tax refund scheme.
The U.S. Treasury Department announced the 58-count indictment against Osabuohien Odyssey Oronsaye on Tuesday. The indictment was returned by a federal grand jury in Tucson last week and authorities say Oronsaye was arrested Friday.
The indictment alleges the 34-year-old Nigerian native prepared tax returns with the names and Social Security numbers of individuals whose personal information had been stolen.
He's accused of making up income and wage information, tax withholding information, tax deductions, tax credits and dependents.
The indictment also alleges that he submitted fraudulent credit card orders using stolen credit card numbers.
A message seeking comment was left Tuesday evening with the Phoenix-based law firm representing Oronsaye.

Sorry coalition has let you down - Monmouth MP David Davies
11:55am Thursday 10th May 2012 in Letters
MAY I sincerely congratulate councillors of all parties, and none, who were elected to Monmouthshire County Council last week. I shall be very happy to work with you all on improving local services.
May I also offer my apologies to those who feel the Conservative-led coalition has let them down. I must acknowledge there has been incompetence at the highest levels of government over the last few months in a number of departments.
Meanwhile, there has been an emphasis on issues such as gay marriage and reform of the House of Lords, at the expense of explaining the financial situation; a failure to deport dangerous terrorists because of concerns about human rights; and an apparent unwillingness to listen to the concerns of electors and the backbench MPs who represent them.
I shall have no hesitation in expressing my concerns in Parliament.
David T C Davies MP, Member for Monmouth.

- Delightful and Informative Review by Beth
How I wish I could have learned from this Master. Buying this DVD was the closest I could get and I learned so much that I have already seen improvement in my spinning. I understand spinning so much better now and only wish I could sit with Norman and watch him work. I can, for hours, by reviewing this DVD over and over.

Sometimes what doesnt happen speaks more eloquently than what does. Certainly that was true when Dean Smith, a master at manipulating the rules, led his Tar Heels to the locker room at halftime against Duke with a glaring zero displayed in North Carolinas scoring column. We were going to frustrate them and we were going to beat them, said Al Wood, who eventually led UNC with 12 points in the game. It just didnt quite turn out that way.
Most lists of the best meetings in the Duke-North Carolina mens rivalry fail to include the schools 1979 regular-season finale, a battle for first place in the ACC. Yet for sheer intensity, for the improbable interplay of personality and design, for the way in which circumstance invested even the simplest basketball acts with the greatest of significance, few games before or since can match that tale of two very different halves.
As always, both teams began the game scoreless on the night of Feb. 24, 1979. But the goose egg for UNC persisted on the Cameron Indoor Stadium scoreboard. The longer UNC held the ball in that pre-shot clock era, burning time with its Four Corners delay, the more glaring became the absence of scoring, zero seeming to multiply, morphing from teasing realization to intriguing sideshow to impossible strategic theme.
Shutouts just dont happen in basketball.
It was pretty apparent they were not going to budge and neither were we, recalls Mike Gminski, the 1979 ACC Player of the Year who anchored the sixth-ranked Blue Devils. I remember just standing around, looking around. The crowd I think was a little back on its heels. It was kind of surreal.
Trailing 7-0 at halftime in the battle of coaching wills, Smith unleashed his fourth-ranked Tar Heels in the final period. Each team scored 40 points in the final 20 minutes once the eventual first-round NBA draft choices, three on each squad, and their teammates were allowed to operate more freely.
The fact that we won 47-40, thats the basketball gods putting their imprint on the game, says Bob Wenzel, then a Duke assistant coach under Bill Foster. Ill never forget that game. It was fantastic, fantastic.
The Tar Heels were told the previous day they were going to spread the court to draw Duke out of its signature 2-3 matchup zone. It was a stall tactic that was a tactic to score, says Wood, then an All-ACC sophomore. It wasnt designed to not score.
Running time off the clock to shorten a game had been an irritant for decades, particularly in the ACC and most especially in the ACC tournament. N.C. State coach Norman Sloan notoriously slowed action to a crawl in the 1968 tournament semifinals to beat Duke 12-10. The score was 4-2 at halftime. Sloan stalled again to win the 1970 final 42-39 in double-overtime against South Carolina. Most famously, Smiths top-ranked team held the ball for the final 7:33 against No. 3 Virginia in the 1982 championship game, shackling Michael Jordan, James Worthy, Ralph Sampson and company.
Rules changes
The nationally televised 82 ACC tournament final soon sparked rules changes meant to speed action, increase scoring and discourage zones. By the 1986-87 college season, a 3-pointer was added in tandem with a shot clock introduced the previous year.
To a large extent, the changes lent offenses more punch, although not as much as some might think. The ACCs highest cumulative scoring occurred in 1976 (85.1 points per game). Half of the eight highest-scoring teams in conference history played prior to 1976. Even this season, despite well-publicized rules interpretations intended to boost scoring, six games involving ACC teams saw neither side reach 50 points. Two were played this month.
Back in 1979, Smith was paradoxically a proponent of a shot clock and the leading practitioner of deep-freeze tactics. This was one of his ways of saying, OK, if youre not going to put in a shot clock, were going to hold the ball, Wood says of the opening half at Durham.
So when Vince Taylor, the Duke freshman getting his first career start, scored on a follow of a Gminski miss 33 seconds after tipoff, the cat-and-mouse game began. I just remember we came down to the other end, we got in the zone and they were staying out on the perimeter, says the 6-foot-11 Gminski, now a television basketball analyst. Everybody was wondering what was going on.
Three TV timeouts and more than 13 minutes passed before another point was scored. We want basketball! chanted the Cameron Crazies, then more creative than derivative. Foster often crouched in front of Dukes bench, hand to mouth, studying the inaction. Smith remained seated, working his gum.
No, stay down
The confident Blue Devils, returning every starter from their 1978 Final Four squad, attempted five shots in the period, making three. We got behind and we stayed behind the whole way, says Bill Guthridge, Smiths longtime assistant. The Tar Heels took and missed two shots in the first half, one by forward Rich Yonakor and one by guard Dave Colescott. Yonakers jump shot missed everything, spawning todays ubiquitous chant: Air ball! Air ball!
Meanwhile, Wenzel, now a TV basketball analyst, grew anxious on the Duke bench as the scoreboard seemed stuck. Minutes are going by and minutes are going by and minutes are going by, he recalls. Im sitting next to coach Foster and I say, Coach, what do you think? And he ignores me. A few minutes go by and I say, Hey, coach, should we come out? And he ignores me. Finally, I say, Coach, what do you think? He turns to me and he says, I think Vince (Taylor) is going to get the MVP.
The second half was a bit of an anticlimax. Jim Spanarkel, an All-American guard that season, led all scorers with 17 points in his final home game. Duke had 10 turnovers compared to three for UNC, but made 73.9 percent of its field goat attempts (17-23) in tying the Tar Heels atop the ACC standings.
There was one last flurry of excitement in the final minute when the normally mild-mannered Gminski was ejected.
The 245-pound, 1979 All-American took umbrage at being persistently fouled and swung an elbow that apparently hit Wood in the nose. The 186-pound forward crumpled to the floor in front of the Duke bench. That brought Smith running. Upset, he began remonstrating with Gminski.
Except the blow barely grazed Wood. I saw it coming, so I turned. But I went down. Today they call it flopping, he says, laughing. I was getting ready to jump up and (Smith) said, No, stay down. Lay down. I was like, Im all right. He said, No, stay down. He made me stay on the floor so he could get a chance to do something with the referees.
Gminski too laughs in retrospect. He essentially got me thrown out in my own building, he says of Smith. But by then it was too late for the coach to alter the outcome of an oddly compelling game shaped by a strategic ploy that memorably backfired.

The McCain-Cantwell Act Aims to Restore Glass-Steagall
by Charles Lemos, Tue Dec 15, 2009 at 02:10:26 PM EST
Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, and Senator Maria Cantwell, Democrat of Washington, are proposing legislation that would reinstate the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 that separated commercial banks from investment banks by banning commercial banks from underwriting securities, forcing banks to choose between being a lender or an underwriter but not both. The Glass-Steagall Act was repealed in 1999 during the Clinton Adminstration after enduring 12 attempts in 25 years to weaken its provisions.
Last week five House Democrats - Maurice Hinchey of New York, John Conyers of Michigan, Peter DeFazio of Oregon, Jay Inslee of Washington, and John Tierney of Massachusetts - introduced an amendment that would have given banks one year to choose between being commercial banks or investment banks, thus restoring the spirit of Glass-Steagall but the amendment failed. Sadly, the amendment never got a vote on the House floor.
Now the Senate is taking up the cause. From Newsweek:
More than a year after the election, the Arizona Republican is looking to repair that reputation by joining up with Democratic firebrand Maria Cantwell to propose something that will be anathema to both Wall Street and the Obama administration. According to two congressional sources, the two maverick senators want to reinstate Glass-Steagall Act, the Depression-era law that forced the separation of regular commercial banking from Wall Street investment banking. The senators' proposal echoes a failed amendment introduced in the House last week by Rep. Maurice Hinchey of New York.
The Senate prospects for the success of the McCain-Cantwell bill--which the two plan to announce together on Wednesday morning--seem bleak at best. But McCain and Cantwell join a still small but not insignificant insurgency of chronic doubters, including former Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcker, who say not nearly enough is being done to change Wall Street and, in particular, to address the "too big to fail" problem. The issue is one of the few in Washington that can unite the left and right sides of the political spectrum. Democrats like Cantwell deplore Wall Street's outsize role in the real economy and its lobbying influence, and conservatives such as McCain are appalled at the way the market system has been undermined--some would say rigged--by the power of the big banks.
Here's why this is important:
The blinding complexity and interconnections created by modern capital markets--especially because of the way nearly half a trillion dollars in derivatives trades linked the firms to each other--demanded that there be strong firewalls and capital buffers between Wall Street institutions and their affiliates, and between banks and nonbanks and insurance companies. Otherwise there would be no islands of safety--no healthy institutions left to come and rescue the day, as commercial banks traditionally had done since the days of J. P. Morgan's famous bailout in 1907. The repeal of Glass-Steagall took things in precisely the opposite direction, eliminating most of the firewalls and inviting staid commercial banks into the buccaneering world of Wall Street trading. Representative Hinchey says it "was a recipe for disaster because these banks were empowered to make large bets with depositors' money, and money they didn't really have. When many of those bets, particularly in the housing sector, didn't pan out, the whole deck of cards came crumbling down and U.S. taxpayers had to come to the rescue."
I'll add one more point. As long as banks can mint money on their trading side, then they are not compelled to seek or even entertain risk on their commercial lending and credit side. Separating commercial banks from investment banks will allow each to focus on their very separate societal functions.

The BlackBerry Curve 9310 is still the same ho-hum handset you can expect from RIM, but for a no-contract BlackBerry, it's reliable and makes texting a breeze.
LG 101 - black (Virgin Mobile) - No Contract
The philanthropic carrier gives you unlimited talk, texting, and data -- but if you're thinking there's a catch, you're right.
A surprisingly high number of customers are opting to pay for their own smartphones in monthly installments, avoiding a two-year contract. And that's good news for AT&T.
Virgin Mobile USA announces the availability of the Negear-made Mingle mobile hotspot, its first 4G LTE broadband device on its Broadband2Go portfolio.
By combining two offers, you can get a brand new 5C -- in your choice of colors -- for the lowest price ever. Oh, and unlimited texting and data, too.
The AT&T subsidiary lowers prices and raises data buckets for its prepaid plans, and puts a trio of Samsung phones on sale.
The monthly plan, initially launching on four phones, gets you unlimited talk, text, and Web.
That's a savings of $70. And if you want the 32GB model, it's on sale as well. Either way, you get to customize the design.
AT&T's head honcho teases lower priced plans and different offers in the pre-paid arena.

Watching Jonathan Broussard and sister Finley play, you'd never know Jonathan was born with a life-threatening heart defect.
It showed up on an ultrasound while he was still in the womb. That was a traumatic day for his parents. Mom Rikki was mortified.
"I remember just breaking down and crying in the maternal fetal room," she recalled.
At three months old, Jonathan underwent a nearly 10-hour operation to fix a problem called "blue baby syndrome."
It's an umbrella term for defects that keep the heart from pumping enough oxygenated blood, and that can turn the body blue.
Looking back at pictures taken during his son's 13 days at Children's Hospital of Boston, dad Jared recalls just how trying the time was.
"When you go through something like this, it's a very scary, overwhelming experience," he said.
Like many parents of kids with born with heart defects, Jared Broussard went to the internet to learn more about Jonathan's heart condition.
From a medical standpoint, there was tons of information from the hospitals. But it was very hard to find any resource to connect families.
That's when Broussard decided to create a website, Heartwaves.org.
"What I wanted Heartwaves to be is the hub for congenital heart defects. So if you want information on a certain condition, you can get it. But at the same time, if you want to connect with other families that were going through similar circumstances, you could also find it there," said Broussard.
Parents who go to Heartwaves can express themselves freely. They'll also find insights on rare congenital heart defects from pediatric heart specialists and researchers. But most importantly, they'll discover they're not alone.
Today, Jonathan is proof congenital heart defects are not a death sentence. For him, they were just a bumpy start to what promises to be a long and healthy life.

Shared by MasterSki at a BA gathering.
A - A caramel colored beer with some off-white head that left some decent lace on the sides.
S - Not a ton of spice on this one, which is probably a good thing considering how Winter Warmers (although this isn't classified as one here) seem to be bad beers killed with spice to make them sellable.. Some floral and buttery notes with sweet honey.
T - Buttery taste along with a slight bit of spice and a little bit of fruit cake. It's only slightly sweet, and actually not bad.
M - Medium bodied, lower carbonation.
O - Actually not horrible, for a Winter Warmer this seems about as good as it gets and I relatively enjoyed this one.

3.75/5 rDev -6.7%
Thanks to bosse for getting me a bottle of this one - it's been on my wants for a long time. This bottle was best before April, 2010. Whoops. Served in a taster pint glass.
A - Pours with two fingers of light tan foam that eventually settle to a thick cap, leaving behind splotchy lace. The body is a transparent dark caramel brown.
S - Biscuit, honey, a hint of chocolate orange, and faint floral and spruce hops. The combination of flavors is fairly compelling and evocative of Christmas, but this is thankfully low in things like nutmeg and cinnamon.
T - The taste is a little less interesting, and has perhaps smoothed out due to age. Very heavy in biscuit and shortbread, with a faint note of herbal bitterness in the finish. Alcohol is well-hidden, although I suppose that isn't "to style"?
M - Medium-light body, perhaps a touch watery. Smooth, with lower carbonation.
D - Among the best Winter Warmers I've had, although I suppose that isn't saying much. I'd have this again if I were in Sweden during Christmas season.

This beer pours with a light tan compact foam that leaves some lace. It is very dark with a ruby red tone.
The smell has a mixture of sweet, honey, tones and fruit, like grapefruit, with a malty, grass-like, stamina.
The taste is very pleasantly balanced, leaving a good long bitterness. The sweetness reminds you of dried dates and figs, acid from citric fruits like Seville oranges.
A good refreshing carbonation makes the beer high-scoring in all aspects.

A: This Jämtland-beer pours deep amber with a massive off-white, long-lasting creamy head, that leaves lot of lace.
S: Sweet light roasted caramell malt, nice balance between bitter and floral hops.
T: First there's dry malt together with a well balanced bitterness. Then there's floral hops, with citric notes together witn some faint pine - it feels like something in the middle of american and english pale ale, with a little brittish dominance.
M: Full body and light carbonation. The aftertaste is a nice mix between sweet and bitter, but gladly holds a fruity tone till the bitter end (a little hoppy joke, if I may...).
D: A very nice beer. I hate winter, but this beer makes me wish for a long winter, a REALLY long winter...

Appearance: Jämtlands Julöl pours a maroon-to-ruby colour along with a marvellously foamy crown of approximately 3 inches and light ochre colour which remains for quite some time and leaves a sporadic amount of lacing. Not all too many bubbles looks as if to be active.
Smell: Surprisingly sweet, yet the hops are quick to kick in, they bring a sour and fresh note (actually somewhat similar to that of resin) whilst the malts gives the whole experience a burnt backdrop.
Taste: The typical presence burnt malts (which almost tar-like at times) and sour-bitter hops of a Jämtlands is what strikes the taste-buds at first but then we get this seemingly unorthodox break with a cocoa-like sweetness pushing through this solid wall of burnt 'n' bitter -- very interesting indeed! The aftertaste is obviously dominated by the lingering zesty feel of the hops bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Very round, smooth in texture the carbonation is a lot more vivid than on would expect from simply gazing onto the glass.
Drinkability: Simple but solid as a diamond-clad rock-drill, maybe a bit too anonymous in the smell, yet Jämtlands Bryggery rarely -- if ever -- fails to deliver, truly one of Sweden's finest breweries -- SKÅL!

Jämtlands Julöl is my favourite beer among the Swedish Christmas beers. The taste has a nice balance between sweetness and bitterness. This is an ale which also makes it stand out among the swedish christmas beers which usually are dark lagers. The beer is popular and tend to be sold out early so I always buy 15 bottles as soon as they become available in the end of November. Most of the beers from Jämtlands brewery are good. They also have an Easter Ale in similar style as this Christmas beer which is very good.

The Jämtland Brewers always (almost anyway) make beer of great taste and quality. Their christmas beers is one of their best beers.
Pours a deep amber color with a nice big white/beige head, some lacing on the glass. Looks nice!
Smells nicely of pine needles, caramel and lots rosted malts. Really nice smell, a bit anonymous though.
The taste though, is excellent! Lots of pine needles, rosted malts and a slight note of citrus, just to balance it all. Notes of caramel and some special Jämtlands taste that I can't really put my finger on.
All and all, a great beer. Will do nicely with all the christmas dishes.

Pours a dark red/brown color in my Jämtlands glass. It has a nice foamy head. A bit of lacing.
Aroma is interesting of caramel, very malty, some toffee notes along with a typical fruitiness.
Taste is malty, caramely (very caramely actually) with a good bitterness. Notes of citrus, some aromatic hops, toffee and dried fruits, it also got a slightly burnt note with a bit of nuttiness. Overall very balanced and tasty. There's also some special Jämtland note, which I tend too find in moast of there beer. Here it makes it very well with the other flavours, so nothing negative about that.
Mouthfeel is quite smooth and filling with a certain "bite" in it.
A very drinkable and nice Christmas beer, I'm glad I finally tried it.

50 cl bottle courtesy of Marsiblursi. It pours a ruddy chestnut with a two finger thick tan head that is very fluffy, clingy and lasting. Has a muted hop aroma along with sweet malts, some yeast, light caramel and a lot of baking bread.
Has a lot of fruity esters in the fore then gets very light toasty with a medium hop presence, caramel and caramelized bread notes through the middle and into the finish. This is pretty damn good. It has a definite English feel to it and a dry finish that gets ever so slightly spicy. This is a damn nice beer. The flavor isnt exactly amazing, but the overall feel of the beer is satisfying, making it an enjoyable quaff.

One of those rare Swedish beer of excellent quality! It was a really positive surprise to drink this year's Julöl from Jämtlands Bryggeri. After last Christmas' high demand the brewer learned his lesson and made sure we have a good supply this year. It poured in a nice dark red-brown color and with a finger of foam. The smell was of chocolate, roasted malts, licorice and some dark bread spices. The taste was full and multiples with chocolate, licorice, some sweetness and a kind of herby (or perhaps herb-ish) touch. The mouthfeel was dry and without any empty spaces. Get it before it's sold out!

The colour is very dark amber. The large airy head pale brown head is very firm (like many other Jämtlands beers). Lacing occurs.
The smell is soft with roasted malt, citric notes, lots and lots of hops and bitterness. It is balanced and complex, yet very natural (uhm, yeah ).
The taste starts off with dry roasted malts. Then a generous bitterness emerges with lots of hoppy flavours; sour citric notes, lime, grape fruit, margarine, apricot candy, tea The long aftertaste is also very bitter with fruity, chemical and hoppy notes dried apricots.
The carbonation is soft with minimal bubbles, but it is far from staled.
A great ale for the cold winter nights!

Litle head and beautifull darkdarkbrown beercolor; perfectly clear. Greatest nose of best (US) hops and best malt and dark candy used a probably lots of carramellicmalts! Overal ultra fresh nose of the very, very best! Taste is refreshing also and highly enjoyable giving good maltyness with dark carracter without any form of roastyness, sweetcandy before going in that citrussy( must be dryhopped) fine but litle hanging bitterness. Great can compete with best US hopbeers. Mouthfeel is also great and perfectly balanced with good bitter edge. Drinkability is that that if I would have more I wouldn't stop till I fell. Wonderfull beer and lots of thanks to Joris who gave it to me!

Pours a dark brown beer with reddish tones. its all clear with an unnoticable carbonation a some foam that quickly dissolves.
Smell is malty, some alcohol and citric tones. Fruits take their place together with malt and a trace of spices?
Taste is roasted barley, bitter and some lightly burned tones. After this there is a nice sweetness and a delicious bitterness together with a somewhat oily taste of spices and chocolate. It all blends together to a nice, smooth and round finish.
A nice beer, especially to some nice christmas food. Powerful, still at the same time smooth.

I don't really know why i didn't like it so much. Its very well made. Deep red colour, spicy bitterness, a bit sugary and gassy on the tongue. Sticky hops in the finish, quite warming, but not quite my style i guess, could do with less sweetness and stickyness. Still not bad though.

New site coming soon
Hi folks, and apologies for the rather empty site.
I recently discovered the Photographers for Charity site had been hacked, and may have been used to distribute harmful code to visitors.
As I'd been planning to update, and re-design, the site anyway (A new direction, new focus, too… Watch this space!), I felt it best/safest to completely erase the old site, and remove any chance of on-going threat.
Really sorry about all this. I'll work to get the site running again as fast as I can!

The Future: Young Norwegian Snowboard Ripper Stale Sandbech Breaks in the Early Season at Saas Fee
The early season is upon us. And there's no better way to drop into what's set to be another all-time Oakley Team year than having the future of Norwegian Snowboarding utterly shred Saas Fee in Switzerland. O's young star Stale Sandbech, anointed the Heir Apparent of Scandinavian Snowboard Royalty, definitely exudes Oakley style and rippage to the max.
