The oddity which is the 2011 NFL combine continued on Monday with the defensive linemen and linebackers undergoing their workouts. Why has it been an oddity? Simply put, the performances we're seeing weren't expected. We're not necessarily seeing guys vastly over perform their projections, but those who were seen as the 2nd, 3rd and 4th ranked prospect have closed the gap slightly, and when this is coupled with the guys rated #1 at their position taking steps back what we're seeing is both sides meeting in the middle.
In fact, the only player who seems to be living up to the hype thus far is Texas A&M OLB Von Miller who is still the #1 3-4 rush linebacker in the draft. At 6'3", 246 lbs Miller ran a 4.53 in the forty, had a 37" vertical (better than AJ Green), and a 10'6" broad jump. That combination of speed and athleticism coupled with a solid collection of film will cement Miller as a top 5 pick. Just this year Clay Matthews proved how devastating a good 3-4 OLB can be, and Miller could be better.
Enough of that '3 linemen' nonsense (I kid, I kid) what about the 4-3 guys? We'll talk about them after the jump.
Auburn DT Nick Fairley did not stand out during Monday's drills. He ran the 40 slightly slower than expected at 4.86 and 4.82, broad jumped 9'5" and chose not to participate in the bench press, or vertical jump. When I asked Nick just two weeks ago if he intended to skip any events in Indianapolis he responded "I'll be ready to show them everything I've got", I find it disappointing that he chose to skip events today. Personally, I'm not sure if his performance today coupled with a lighter than expected frame and a slower than expected time screams "#1 overall pick" the way it once did.
Conversely, Alabama DT Marcell Dareus had a very strong day in Indy. Despite being 28 lbs heavier than the aforementioned Fairley he ran the 40 in 4.94 and 4.92 seconds respectively, while beating Fairley on the 10 yard split, considered more important than the full 40 time for linemen. Like Fairley he chose not to participate in the vertical or bench press. One wonders if Stephen Paea's 49 reps yesterday has scared some of the top DT prospects.
Continuing with the defensive players there was a workout warrior today, the 248 lb 4-3 OLB Dontay Moch. Moch put forth an absolutely incendiary 4.44 in the forty yard dash (faster than AJ Green) while having a 42" vertical jump (better than any WR) and a 10'8" broad jump. He still figures to fall to the 4th or 5th round, but it was a sight to behold.
With Da'Quan Bowers sidelined with a knee injury (funny though that Paea lifted and Bowers didn't) it was UNC's Robert Quinn who was poised to take the #1 DE spot... and he didn't. He was 6th among DL in the 40 at 4.70 seconds (slower than expected) and chose not to bench press. Now, according to Scouts Inc's Todd McShay teams are starting to consider Quinn more of a 3-4 OLB than a 4-3 DE, and personally I always thought he was better in this role. As a 3-4 rush linebacker he's elite, as a 4-3 DE he's very good, but not.
Quick hits:
- Marvin Austin benched 38 reps, second among DL
- Ryan Kerrigan was 7th in the 40 and 6th in the bench press among DL
- 6'5", 346 lb Keydrick Ellis ran the 40 in 5.05 seconds.
Tomorrow the DBs go, and if they follow suit then LSU's Patrick Peterson will fall, Prince Amukamara will rise and we'll have no clue if anyone is worth a #1 pick.

Farm-transfer, retirement workshop offered
CHAZY — Cornell Cooperative Extension, New York Farm Net and Farm Credit East have teamed up to provide a training class on changing the ownership of a farm.
Farms are unique in that they have high asset values, family relationships and the need to transfer skills in addition to property. The tax on a $1 million estate in New York is $99,000. So even though the federal estate tax starts at $5 million, many farmers will owe substantial taxes to the state upon their passing.
The time to start planning for the next ownership is when the first asset is bought. It matters how the ownership is recorded and the profits are divided over time.
This class will be Tuesday from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Miner Institute in Chazy and costs $50. FSA borrower credits have been approved. The topics to be covered include Retirement and Income Planning, Communication between Generations, Establishing Equity for the Next Generation, Strategies for Transferring Business Assets and Decision Making Skills, and Building Your Own Plan.
Bill Zweigbaum from Farm Credit East, Dan Welch from NY FarmNet, and Anita Deming from Cornell Cooperative Extension of Essex County will be the speakers. Each have years of experience helping farmers make their plans to transfer ownership to the next generation.
To register, contact Deming or Judy French at 962-4810, Ext. 409.
Annie's Project comes to Northern New York
WESTPORT — The 2014 offering of Annie's Project is now open for registration throughout New York State. The course begins Feb. 6 and will run for six consecutive Thursdays from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 15 Cornell Cooperative Extension facilities across the state including Westport and Canton.
Those interested in registering should contact Anita Deming at 962-4810 or Anita Figueras at (315) 379-9192 or visit the website www.NYAnniesProject.org. The course is $60 per person with limited scholarships available upon inquiry. This class is eligible for Farm Service Agency borrower credits.

since youre so upset about it, he's short, he obviously disappears in some games, he's only had 1 year where he's really blown up in numbers, and GENERALLY SPEAKING, MICHIGAN WRS IN THE PAST DO NOT PAN OUT WELL IN THE NFL.Now if youre done cryin, get back in the kitchen and make the men some pie.
Quote from: KrAzYbUc on January 05, 2008, 08:27:07 PMI just dont like Michigan WRs. Generally speaking, they blow in the NFL. so basically you have nothing negative to say about MM .. just that YOU don't like Michigan WRs. and GENERALLY SPEAKING, [michigan WRs] blow in the NFL ... well sheesh .. glad you have a reasonable justification for why MM isn't a good pick.so, you don't know WHO you want .. but your personal bias and a generalization?how about anything to do with speed? talent? hands? route running? blocking? quickness? size? strength? leadership? anything at all on the merits of the man? goodness gracious.
I just dont like Michigan WRs. Generally speaking, they blow in the NFL.
i have no idea at this point. i just wanna see where we end up in the draft before i even go there. i wanna see who all is out there for us to draft. I just dont want to see another first round bust.
well if we draft him i hope you're right.
never fails.... say michigan wrs suck in the nfl...every single michigan fan throws out braylon edwards.were you guys just waiting for one wr to be good so you could cling to him in every argument?yes....edwards is good...that's why i said generally speaking...that means...

ThThere are a good number of reasons that Kyle Orton isn't really a Super Bowl quarterback. His accuracy is somewhat inconsistent, his mobility and pocket awareness range from mediocre to atrocious, he locks in on Brandon Lloyd, and his arm-strength is fairly average. One reason that I hear the most around these parts has nothing to do with any of these shortcomings. Basically, it's the accusation that Orton plays crappy at important times when the game is in the balance. This is apparently some kind of habitual shortcoming related to either his specific skills or his weakness as a person. Despite pretty terrible clutch play last season and on Monday night, this assertion isn't backed up by the evidence. Specifically, there is really no such skill as "clutch." Players that are better are better when the game is on the line. A quarterback's ability to outperform his normal production level during high-leverage situations is just statistical noise.
Let's define some terms. This post derives heavily from the data collection and analysis done by Brian Burke at Advanced NFL Stats. ANS is built essentially on two key stats: Estimated Points Added (EPA) and Win Probability Added (WPA). EPA assigns each down, distance, and field position situation a number of points that an average offense would be expected to score. Each play either increases or decreases this expectation. The credit or blame for each play is assigned to every player involved.
Win Probability Added is essentially the same stat, except instead of the number of points, the calculation figures out how likely each team is to win the game. The only real difference between the two stats is that WPA takes into account the leverage of the situation. Leverage is basically the odds that a given play will impact a game. So a touchdown scored when a team is down 14 with 2 minutes to go has very little WPA, because the situation is so low leverage, even though the EPA would be exactly the same as a game winning touchdown as the clock runs out.
Although there are some statistical issues with both of these stats and the way Burke calculates them (such as credit apportionment), they generally pass the smell test. For example, Kyle Orton had a WPA of -.11 (meaning he decreased the Broncos' chances of winning by 11%) on Monday night. That is down entirely to the first half interception (-.09) and the fumble in Raiders' territory (-.20). By contrast, the entire late touchdown drive was worth just +.14. That jives with everybody's understanding that Orton lost the game with some stupid plays. Note also that the average QB WPA is slightly above average because of the way Burke's model handles runs (which are generally seen as more negative) and passes. So Orton's -.11 for the game is really, really bad.
I vastly prefer using WPA as a "clutch" metric to something like "game within 7 in the 4th quarter." That's because it really is possible to have massively important plays in the first half, or even in the first quarter.
The real question though is whether Orton has in the past, and will continue to, perform poorly in high leverage (or clutch) situations. The answer is he was atrocious last year. By comparing WPA (which includes leverage) to EPA (which doesn't) we can find out who is helping put their team in more winning positions than their underlying individual stats indicate. Here is a chart comparing WPA to EPA from 2010:
The line indicates "average" ability to translate EPA into WPA. The guy who exceeded his WPA expectation by the most was Matt Ryan, on the top. Orton was the 5th worst in the league by this metric. He is way below the line. But what if we expand it out a little bit more? Here is the same chart from 2009:
This time Orton comes in somewhat above expectation. His performance was essentially the same (about 50 EPA, despite playing more games in 2009) but he went from .09 to 1.6 WPA. Did he just get a lot worse at performing well in high leverage situations? That seems like an odd explanation. The better question for me is really whether a player can consistently produce more WPA than his EPA, yards per attempt, and DVOA would project. In other words, is clutch an inherent and persistent skill?
The most basic way to measure this is simply to see if you can use year one clutch numbers to project year two clutch numbers. We already saw that would have been a fool's errand with Kyle Orton between 2009 and 2010, since he went from comfortably above average to absolutely terrible. Other players who suffered dramatic drops in clutch performance were Philip Rivers (who went from comfortably above average to third worst in the NFL) and Peyton Manning (who went from best in the NFL to bottom third). On the opposite side were Matt Ryan (who went from underperforming in high leverage situations to #1 in the league) and Marc Sanchez (who went from terrible to top 10). An r-squared analysis showed that one year's "clutch" performance doesn't explain the next year's: the r-squared value was .068 (heh, ueber nerdy).
Basically, I think playing well in high-leverage or "clutch" situations is just a subset of being good at quarterbacking. To the extent that some players perform much better in those situations for a year or two, it doesn't betray an ability to be clutch, just a small sample size. Some really great players like Rivers, Manning and Brady have had awful years in terms of WPA that is lower than overall performance, but they balance out. That's because "clutch" isn't really a skill.
Ultimately I'd anticipate Kyle Orton's play in clutch situations to regress back toward his overall level of play as measured by EPA, DVOA and Yards Per Attempt, which have been around average or slightly above average the past two years. This isn't supposed to be an argument strongly in favor of Orton: nobody wants an average quarterback. I just think the "clutch" argument is bunk.

Baltimore, MD (IOCC) — International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC) has assembled its emergency response personnel to assess the humanitarian needs and possible response to a massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake that struck the Pacific Ocean nearby Northeastern Japan on March 11. Initial reports indicate that hundreds of people perished in a powerful tsunami and that the quake caused damage with blackouts and fire. The large earthquake triggered a tsunami warning for countries all around the Pacific Ocean ranging from Russia to Hawaii to South America. IOCC, in consultation with local Orthodox and ecumenical partners in Japan and other countries affected in the Pacific, is assessing the current situation and the need for a potential response. "We mourn the loss of life and pray for those who were taken so suddenly by this disaster," said Constantine M. Triantafilou, IOCC executive director. "We are all keenly aware of the devastation that can be caused by powerful tsunamis and … [Read more...]

Some broad reflections on the SVS seminar
First of all, thank you to St. Vladimir Seminary, St. Andrew House, and Orthodox Christian Laity for sponsoring the webcast. Thank you to Ancient Faith Radio, and Executive Producer Dean Calvert and crew for making the webcast possible. I saw perhaps a quarter of it. The first seminars dealt with historical themes, important and interesting (had to concentrate though) but I won't comment on them here. I found the lecture on the "myth of autocephaly" very interesting, particular how the narrative of how autocephaly was obtained shapes contemporary self-understanding in the autocephalous Churches. This deals more with how historical narrative functions in a community, than the veracity of the actual narrative. (Of course, veracity is contentious term since history is, at bottom, narrative. Nevertheless, some history is "truer" than others, witness the attempts by the Marxists and other culture barbarians to rewrite it.) Back to the subject... Dr. Paul Meyendorff, professor of … [Read more...]

The Aryan Warrior
From Great White Desert
The Aryan Warrior
by Pastor Richard G. Butler
Population and Race
The Aryan world idea is accepted by Aryans universally both as revealed Christianity and legislative law. It is an idea comprising both the spiritual and the material, a Guide to nation builders and to the individual in his search for the truth.
The very foundation of faith and worship is Racial Truth; for with the Aryan, Christianity and Race are one. On this foundation arises the will to power and world leadership inherent in the soul of the seed of Adam. Through Racial purity and an unfettered instinct in procreation the Aryan goes forward to the re-peopling of his world.
The Aryan does not have sexual union outside his own race, but seeks always the improvement of his own species. Perfection in type is the union between man and woman who are fair with comely eyes and an open countenance. These traits constitute the Adamic ideal, in whom the Aryans acknowledge their heritage as the Israel of God. The Aryan honors the science of eugenics, founded by the English biologist, Sir Francis Galton in the 19th century, which science continues today through those such as Dr. Shockley and Dr. E.O. Wilson.
Under the Covenant Natural Law Order the following definitions apply:
Property in the form of land or Industrial wealth is subject to public control and will be operated for National and Racial interest.
Private corporate ownership remains in name; but since all ownership is regarded as trusteeship for the Nation under God, exploitation must be effectively ended. There shall be no taxation on homes or farms of citizens, the guarantee of true ownership.
Since economic security in all stages of life is guaranteed to every member of the Nation, the covetous pursuit of material wealth becomes unnecessary and, indeed, a despised social aim. A man will be honored for his personal abilities and accomplishments and for the excellence of his children rather than for his material riches.
A man shall own his home or farm and other personal possessions, but the exploitation of the national property to alien control for private profit is forbidden.
The Aryan community recognizes its most precious possession in its children. Where property is concerned, the aid will be towards the nation's citizen ownership and benefit rather than alien ownership and benefit.
Industry and Finance
Aryan nationalism predicates a system in which all men are Producers. Excepted only are the children and the aged who, together with those temporarily incapacitated, receive and live upon the fruit of their labors with State help and allowances.
The financial system of International Jewish capitalism will be ended. There is no unearned income or reward without service. Loans are made interest-free to industry and worthy individuals, thus ending the system of usury or of debt-interest.
Within the framework of a usury-free system, industry will be self-governing with representatives of management, workers and consumers co-operating to distribute equitably the proceeds of industry.
Industry and finance will be subject to general control by central authority for the purpose of coordinating the national industrial system.
Production is wealth. There is no other economic criterion.
Aryan Youth
Aryan youth aims to be educated spiritually, mentally, and physically for the service of the Race so that our Race may fulfill its manifest destiny and purpose.
Youth movements, both for boys and girls, are a vital part of all Aryan States.
In young men the Aryan ideal is of physical and athletic fitness, reliability and determination of character, proficiency in chosen livelihood occupation, and general usefulness to the community.
In young women the accent is primarily on fitness for motherhood and homemaking, but also on athletics and arts.
Aryan youth regards its racial unity as indispensable to its continued strength. The concept of race and nation must dominate all other social divisions. In unity and comradeship is the strength of the whole Aryan order. Aryan youth is sturdy and proof against all trials, is fearless and determined.
Aryan youth believes in action rather than in words in the principle that youth must be led by youth. The Aryan does not devote himself or herself exclusively to personal interest. The ideal of service to the community predominates. To steel the body, to prepare and fortify the mind in order to serve Race and God is the creed of Aryan youth.
Aryan youth knows first how to obey. Only he who knows how to obey can learn to command. Alongside the training and hardening of the body is the task of obedience and discipline in youth.
Aryan national discipline breeds love of order in the world in contrast to the parliamentary democratic chaos. Aryan youth is consciously idealistic and believes in sacrifice for the greater good of the community.
Aryan youth believes in ideals and hard virtues necessary to the foundation of great peoples which never surrender or weaken before the blows of life. Aryan youth is God-believing and abides in the Laws of God.
Aryan Women
Every child that an Aryan mother brings into the world is a battle waged for the existence of her people.
The program of the National Aryan Woman's Movement has truly a single point—the child.
The sphere and tasks of man and man and woman in life are separate but complimentary. Mutual respect lies in the fact that both man and woman know that each is doing everything which is necessary to maintain the whole national community.
The Aryan way of life is determined not by material considerations but by the soul of a nation. Aryan woman gives herself in conscious idealism to the concept of the national interest before private interest.
The thoughts of Aryan are dominated by the desire to enter family life.
A creed of the Aryan woman is this: "We serve the life of our people. We regard our household responsibility as for achieving and maintaining the physical and spiritual health of the nation."
Aryan woman brings true love and affection and a happy, well run home to refresh and inspire her man and family.
Aryan woman is treated with chivalry and absolute respect by Aryan man. The morality of the Aryan girl is very important. As girls, you must learn to play your part in the national community and you have to school yourselves for the day when you shall become the wives of our men and the mothers of our new generation. For, the men who are to shape the future of our Race need Women of your kind, women who, in profound faith and in brave spirit, are prepared to share with their menfolk every hardship and sacrifice.
This is a high aim for every girl, for the attainment of which is very worthwhile, to devote years to making oneself pure with a view to being able in all honesty to fulfill this mission.
There is the world of Man and the world of Woman. Nature has ordained that man should be the guardian of the family and the protector of the community. The world of contented womanhood is made of family: husband, children, and home. Both man and woman form a totality in which a people is able to live and prosper. Honored above all is the Mother. It is a far greater love and service to be the mother of healthy Aryan children than all else the Aryan Woman can do.
It is a duty of the Aryan State to safeguard the mother and child.
Aryan woman finds her joy and self-fulfillment in creative living and in a conscious development of the higher culture of Aryan life under the Law of God.
The Aryan woman guards the purity of her blood in which reposes her racial instinct and strength, the guarantor of Aryan culture.
Aryan Law
Aryan Law honors the spirit more than the strict letter of its legal code. Judges are, therefore, given wide powers in the racial and national interest; and the efficient, speedy working of the legal machine is always sought in maintenance of the community interest and in the punishment of wrongdoers.
Aryan justice knows no compromise with evil, and least of all with the power of the purse. The Law is clearly stated in the Holy Biblical Scriptures, available to every citizen. The administration of this Law will be an efficient process unhampered by the legal parasites of the capitalistic code.
The Army
The Aryan believes in the armed forces of his people as being responsible for their destiny and as the guarantor of the future.
The army is for the defense of a country and a Divine ordained racial concept, not for the protection of a political and economic system.
This is the pledge of the Aryan soldier: "At the beginning of our struggle there stood a people; at the end of our struggle there will once more stand a people."
The fight for our race has always come and will always come from the world of Aryan soldiery.
The school of the army teaches the Aryan in self confidence to rely upon his own strength.
The Aryan Army exists not to deprive non-Aryans of their freedom but to protect Aryan freedom.
There is nothing else in the whole of the Aryan State which is so rich in tradition as the Army.
In the indissoluble and sworn Unity of People, State, and Army lies the enduring strength of the Aryan and the entire Aryan world destiny.
Constitution and World Outlook
The constitution of the Aryan World and National Aryan State is based upon the Leadership principle.
The Covenant combines the people's will with the authority of administering the Law.
The best form of State and Constitution is that which, with natural sureness of hand, raises the best brains of the community to a position of leadership and predominant influence.
The end in view of all Aryan efforts and institutions is the preservation and increase of the race and people for the of their Father and God.
The Aryan Constitution is Divinely ordained and based upon Eternal Life Law principles.
The Divine-Ordained Aryan Constitution stems from a single central authority. The heads of all departments carry full responsibility in their work, exercising control over subordinates and being subject to the general control of their superiors. Such is the executive foundation of the Aryan National State.
The Aryan United States represents the leadership or the control of its own destinies by the entire community as a Nation and Race. Neither the merchants nor the workers, private class nor group, can control a State for its own private interests.
Capitalism, or the lending and borrowing of money at interest, cannot be in the Aryan State. The economic system is, under Divine Law, controlled towards the equation of production and consumption in which there is only income earned by work.
The starting point of an Aryan National State is not the State but the people. The supreme test of every institution is: Does it preserve the people?
Intolerance of opposing ideas is necessary to strength. Strength lies in the disciplined observance of rigid principle based upon preservation of Nation and Race.
The Aryan political concept of government is by statesmen trained in natural Divine Law and administrators, advised by technical experts in the various fields of economic and cultural activity.
The Aryan views not only his State and Nation but his Race throughout the earth; and he works for understanding and union between the different language of the one, ordained ruling Race. Against the international organization of Jewry he sets his Aryan Christian World union.
Aryan Nationalism embraces the heroic Aryan principle. Sacrifice for the Cause rather than personal pleasure must be the guiding light. For, on the foundation of Aryan strength and unity are built the only possibilities of individual fullness of life. To the anti-Christ doctrine of the prime importance of the individual, the Aryan Nationalist replies with the doctrine of common Racial interest before private interest. This concept, together with the leadership principle forms the basis of this Aryan Christian Constitution, a Divine Compact.
The Aryan Nations movement is not mere theory: it is the acknowledgment of the millions of our Race that they are brothers and sisters.
The future of an Aryan America as of the whole Aryan world, does not depend on the number of associations which work for this future, but it rather depends on the question whether the will of the many can be successfully brought to acknowledge our Father's single Will and, thus, be united in a movement which will execute our purpose and our ordained mission on earth.
Mere intellectualism is a disease or wavering of the mind. Will power allied to set purpose alone creates strength of mind and a true culture.
A true culture knows strength as well as knowledge. The essence of an Aryan culture is the certainty of Racial destiny and the consecration of all energies to the accomplishment of the Racial mission.
There is no such thing as a revolution in art. The only eternal art is Greek-Nordic.
Respect for the great men of the past is the sacred heritage of our nations.
The moral strength of a nation depends upon its cultural activities.
True art and culture are the expression of the soul and ideals of a Racial inheritance.
Art is the image of the artist's soul. Beauty is to be associated with that which is healthy and natural.
Aryan culture rigorously oppose the degenerate art and ugliness of diseased and corrupt minds and always maintains a high aesthetic standard.
The soul of a people is determined by its culture.
It is not the function of culture to bring modernism to the art of the ancients. The standards of art are whether it is "valueless" or "valuable", "transitory" or "eternal".
The foundation of a State is its farmers and agriculture.
The farming community has the right to State protection both as regards its permanency of tenure and the sale of its produce.
Maximum production from the land, but without exhausting its fertility, is a primary aim of an Aryan State.
Land Settlement with the creation of farm holdings for family inheritance is the aim of an Aryan State, rather than the movement of population to the towns and cities.
Self-sufficiency in food production and consumption is the agrarian ideal for all Aryan Nations.
The establishment of a national education system based upon Racial identity and culture with control based scripture foundation for a unified political and philosophical outlook.
Education in an Aryan state should be consistently based upon the foundation of Aryan culture.
Aryan Nationalism insists upon the priority of life and action over all other systems of education and learning.
The Aryan concept is of practical rather than theoretical experience in education and sees in political struggle in youth movements for both sexes character builders of the first order.
Physical training and athletic accomplishments are an essential part of youth training in Aryan peoples.
All forms of education in Aryan States have one aim: the shaping of the Aryan Nationalist man and woman.
Man is a unity of Spirit, mind and body. Education should develop him as an integrated trinity.
The foundation of Aryan States is in an understanding of Racial philosophy and biology.
Higher education should be determined by merit. Thus, strength of character and mind, physical fitness and Racial traits are points insisted upon in this selection.
Intellectual capabilities alone are insufficient. To them should be added strong will power, a sense of right behavior and of team work, and a consciousness of belonging to the Aryan Racial stock.
We look to the examples from other Aryan States as guides in respect to youth movements, labor, military service and vocational training for both young men and women as supplements to the general educational system for all Aryan peoples.
The function of education is not exclusively to fill the mind with knowledge but to develop capabilities needed to occupy a position of responsibility.
Education for political post should receive prime attention. For, whereas the power of money has determined political position within the plutocrats, merit alone should count in an Aryan State. The science of politics requires first-class Aryan material and its technical schooling as does any other science.
The Aryan Nationalist principle of education places the main emphasis not on intellectual attainments but on character.
Christianity and the Aryan Vision of God
Christianity for the Aryan is Race and Race is Christianity.
Race is Soul seen from without and Christianity is Soul seen from within.
Seeing that the ultimate arbiter in the minds and soul of men is a faith and world outlook, Aryan Nationalism , representing the union of Worship and State in an Aryan folk community, is a vibrant missionary creed claiming the total allegiance of Aryan man.
The failure of the so-called Christian churches is largely the result of their sin against the "the likeness of Yahweh" in ignoring Race and the purity of the blood of the Nation.
True Christianity seeks above all the preservation and increase of Aryan man, a noble and unique creature which, by God's Grace, has been given to the earth.
The essence of Christianity and Race is contained in the question which is of first importance to the Aryan world: Does this serve the interests of our Race and People now and in the future, or will it injure? Before the test, there can be no consideration of party politics, of "religions," of humanity, or, in a word, no other consideration can have any place whatsoever.
Christian belief, to be true, to be Aryan, must be purged of all remnants of Jewish thought.
We wish to fill our culture once more with the Spirit of Christianity, but not only in theory.
The fight against the poisoning of the soul must be waged alongside cultivation of the body. The life of the Aryan people must be freed from the asphyxiating perfume of modern eroticism. The aid and method must be governed by the thought of preserving our nation's health in body and soul. The right to personal freedom comes second in importance to the duty of maintaining the Race.
The Aryan hates the word "impossible": it has always been the mask of the faint-hearted, of men who did not dare to carry out great resolves.
Only when this Jewish bacillus infecting the life of Aryan peoples has been removed can we establish a cooperation amongst the nations which shall be built upon a lasting understanding.
The readiness to sacrifice one's personal work and, if necessary even one's life for others, is the most highly developed characteristic of the Aryan Race. The greatness of the Aryan is not based on his intellectual powers but rather on his willingness to devote all his faculties to the service of the community.
One thing we must never forget: A majority can never be a substitute for the Man.
With those known as Jews there is no bargaining, there is merely the harsh "either—or."
We realize that the fight is not against enemy nations but against the international capitalists who rule all nations.
Our education also trains men to respect intellectual achievement: We bring one to respect the spade, another to respect the compass or pen. All now are but Aryan fellow countrymen, and it is their achievement which determines their value.
The pursuit of agriculture is the foundation of the Aryan State.
The countryside produces men for the nation and has been through the generations the eternal source of National strength.
In the sphere of economic life all action must be governed by one law: Capital serves industry and industry the people of the nation.
What is necessary is to teach each class and profession the importance of the others. All together they form one mighty body: laborers, farmers and professional men.
All work which is necessary ennobles him who performs it. Only one thing is shameful: to contribute nothing to the community.
Nothing falls into a man's lap from heaven. It is from labor that life grows.
The wage of a people has meaning only when it arises from production. Every increase in production should benefit the whole people and raise the people's standard of living.
We renew the only true economic system. It's bases is that capital is workpower and the value of our money lies in our production.
Jewish Communism
The splitting of Nation and race into groups with irreconcilable views, systematically brought about by the false doctrines of Marxist Bolshevism, means the destruction of the basis for a National will to life. Aryan Christian Nationalism, on the other hand, creates a real community, raising above the interests and differences of rank and class.
Bolshevism teaches Godlessness and acts accordingly.
Bolshevism turns flourishing countryside into of sinister wastes of ruins; Aryan Nationalism will return to the Law of God and will transform a land of destruction and misery into a healthy State and a flourishing freedom.
Against Jewish Bolshevism stands the Front of the Aryan people: workers, farmers, and those who are creators in sphere of the intellect, one great indestructible community.
Aryan Kingdom Identity represents a world conquering, Law order of Jesus Christ that will be accepted by all peoples. Jesus Christ not only conquered pharisaic Marxism with its Jewish-Talumdic dogma, but gave to the world the true revolutionary dynamic: the Aryan Christ order under His perfect Law.
Great nations do not succumb through loss but rather through Racial decay and the destruction of their internal order.
A classic technique of Jewry is to create the appearance of assimilation in a country, thereby breaking down the natural self-defense of a nation to alien infiltration. Whether remaining a separate people or assimilating, Jewry has sought Jewish World Revolution, and Bolshevism has been its main instrument. Capitalism and Bolshevism are the two sides of the same international Jewish coin.
Nearly all Bolshevism agitators in America and elsewhere are Jews.
The Jewish Marxist watchword, "workers of the world unite," is conquered by a higher realization, namely "ARYANS of all classes and of all Nations, recognize your common enemy, International Jewry." The Jewish question is not just an American problem, but a world problem.
Attitude to Other Religions
The Aryan Nationalist stands firm: One with God, in his attitude to the world and its people.
The ending of the Canaanite's (Jewish) world means the end of religion as such. The Truth of the Ever-Living God, Yahweh, and the establishment of the Kingdom of God on earth in the regenerated Aryan Race is the Highest Concept of Faith and Belief which cannot be found in Jewish created religions.
The Aryan honors the prophets and God-given leaders of other nations of His Race and recognizes all paths which have been sought to the Divine and Eternal Truth of God.
An Aryan National State permits the participation of governed in the government. In an Aryan National State population has a common racial root, common language and a common understanding of right and wrong.
The "Law of Nations" is the law of the race as the law of nature. In other words, as the will of nature's God, it is indispensably binding upon the race in whom the sovereign power resides and which is consequently under the most sacred obligation to exercise that power.
A State then consists in the association of the individuals of whom it is composed and lasts as long as the duration of that association. When this association is dissolved, the State of Racial Nation ceases to exist though all the members of whom it was composed still remain. This is the condition in which our Aryan Racial Nations are existing in the present day: Nations without a State, for the only duty of a State is the preservation of its members. This is the only duty which the State owes its members and itself.
A Racial Nation has a right and is under an obligation to preserve itself and its members. It has, by a necessary consequence a right to do everything it can to accomplish and secure those objects. Therefore, only those of the Nation can be of the Nation, and a State for the Nation can only exist out of the members of the Nation.
The Aryan Code
Upon three pillars stand all the reason and purpose, all the hope of the creation, all the promise of "life," and all that is to come.
The FIRST principle: our Race, a People related to Him Who beget us and of Whom we alone can in truth say, "OUR FATHER".
The SECOND principle: our individual and collective national asset of will honoring the mutual brotherhood of our elect racial family.
The THIRD principle: total commitment of fidelity to the Law of Life for preservation of the existence of our life. The Life is the purpose by the Creator, Whom we call YAHSHUA, of all that was made.
The Aryan View of Life
The Aryan Nation individual is a fighter for a Faith-law order expressed through the concerted will of kindred spirits, dedicated to the freeing of the "body" of his nation from the bonds of slavery, forged by lying invention and contrary to the inherited, inborn Natural Law Order for this "body".
He views his part and his movement as a means to an end: the reinstitution of a State for his Racial Nation. He does not view the envisioned State as an end in itself, but the State as a means to a higher end, the fulfillment of the purpose of the Law Order by his Divine Father and only God.
He comprehends that his salvation, individually and nationally, lies in the return of his people to the covenant of their Father with all their hearts and souls.
He knows that this covenant was made to a select and elect people and that, only by their separation from all alien people, their idols, gods, and practices and assembled as a body of physically and mentally equal living beings, can they "seek the kingdom" and return from the slavery of their iniquities.
He places the love for his kindred brotherhood above self-interest and the fulfillment of his mission to hold high the light of Christ to guide the steps of his brethren who stumble in darkness as the highest service he can render unto his nation.
He fears not the threat of anti-Christ Jewry nor the sword of those who serve the darkness of the lies of Jewry, but is a warrior firm in conviction of truth with the sword of his Father who cannot lie. He knows the day of His Victory.
He, above all, knows it is by Aryan union, by the common bond of blood and will, by the courage born of the conviction of his right, by the essence of spirit, from above that he will fight—fight against the so-called impossible odds, knowing that with God all things are possible.
Therefore, we as kindred warriors, strengthening one another in the true love of our Father's Truth, do fight the good fight to lift His Standard, to make the paths straight, to give knowledge to the ignorant, to expose the lie of darkness, to the light of truth, to slash free the chains of Jewish degradation that hold our brethren in debt to the usury of immorality, depravity, and death.
His Victory We Hail!!

The Asahi Shimbun on 5/18/2010 in an article describes how disputes over child support rose in 2009, with already divorced mothers and fathers filing 18,513 new arbitration requests nationwide over child support expenses in family courts; this a 17% increase over 2008. This ostensibly due to difficulties in the economy. A total of 2,911 cases which couldn't be resolved through arbitration went into regular court. This a new postwar high.
But here is the dirty little secret of Japan. As reported in the article and backed up by Japanese government statistics, less than 20% of divorced mothers actual receive any money from ex-husbands. You're reading that correctly. Over 80% of divorced Japanese fathers pay zero in child support for their children. This is an abysmal record. In a country which prides itself on the family and strong financial support from fathers it comes as a major contradiction.
Hey deadbeat Japanese dads! It's time to support your kids!

What a mess. Sorry to hear about your plight. I re-posted your comment to the article 'Assistance' which has more people following. Hopefully you have been properly added to following the comments there. I've got a question which I'll put up there now. After you answer on that thread, you'll be sure to receive follow-up email notice of responses to your mail.
Suzanne, You did not give us enough information to make any solid conclusions. But if you moved back to America without discussing things with your ex, I would be apprehensive about paying child support too. When one parent starts making unilateral decisions it hurts the whole family. That is what happens here in Japan. One parent gets the child and refuses to let the LBP have any say in what happens in the child's life. If your ex did all the right things until recently (when he remarried), he is probably better than most divorced Japanese fathers. I would say forget about the money (child support payments). Take the high road. Encourage your son to keep calling/emailing his dad. Your son will remember what you are saying and doing now in regards to his father. The question is what do you want him to remember about you and his father?
I have two kids out here in Japan… I'm American, and divorced… For two years I've paid 70000 yen each month and only got to see my kids when it was convenient for my ex… When I did meet , I couldn't be alone with them and the meetings were in a food court area for an hour or so… Sometimes I never got to see the kids at all…
I started getting angry… I refused to be an invisible wallet. If I can't provide the man element as a part of my child's life… I will not be known as just "money"… I offer to get the kids! I work freelance so I can pick em up from school and be there… Money isn't an issue, I just want to be in my kids lives….
Since I'm not being allowed to… The money has stopped…
Now I'm being threatened with family court.

Curriculum Structure
In Years 3 and 4 the boys are taught by a class teacher for the majority of subjects. Only Music, French , ICT, DT, PE and Games are taught by specialists. There is some informal setting in Maths and English at this point of the school, but the sets are quite fluid at this stage of the school.
When the boys get to Year 5 they have subject specialists for all curriculum areas. The subjects taught are English, Mathematics, Science, French, History, Geography, Religious Studies, ICT, Art, Design Technology, Music, Drama, PE , PHSE and Games. There are A and B sets for Maths and Science and different A and B sets for English and French. Both sets are taught by the same teacher and sit the same examination at the end of the year - it is just the approach to teaching the sets that is different. One lesson a week of General Studies lessons in Year 5 helps the boys to prepare for any entrance tests they might be taking during Year 6, particularly 11+ entrance to Grammar School.
In Year 7 a second foreign language is introduced and boys choose between Spanish and Latin. The curriculum through Years 7 and 8 is designed so that boys who need to take Common Entrance examinations at the end of Year 8 are in a position to do so successfully. However, most boys do not sit Common Entrance examinations and the curriculum in those years, particularly in the core subjects is aimed at preparing the boys for the GCSE syllabuses which lie ahead.
In Year 9 the boys finish the topics from the Key Stage 3 National Curriculum which are outstanding and then begin work on GCSE syllabuses. At this stage they keep all subjects going and decisions are made in the latter part of the year as to which subjects they will take through to GCSE.
At GCSE all boys take English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, Core Science, Additional Science and French. They then choose four other subjects from History, Geography, Religious Studies, ICT, Art, Music, Drama, Design Technology, Spanish, Latin, Physical Education and Individual Sciences which means means each boy ends up with 10 GCSEs. Further details about the subject specifications can be found in the GCSE booklet.
Topics currently being studied by year groups this term are summarised in the subject headings.

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. (AP) — Billy Hurley III doesn't plan to lose much rest sitting on a third-round lead for the first time on the PGA Tour.
The former U.S. Navy officer shot a 3-under 67 on Saturday to extend his advantage to two strokes over Angel Cabrera entering the final round of the Greenbrier Classic.
"I've been working for a long time to win on the PGA Tour," Hurley said. "I figure if I shoot the lowest score tomorrow, I can't lose."
Hurley never relinquished the lead he has held since midway through the second round at Old White TPC. He birdied the par-5 12th and par-4 13th before dropping a stroke on the par-3 15th.
He had a 12-under 198 total. No third-round leader has won the Greenbrier Classic, now in its fifth year. Playoffs have decided the tournament twice.
Cabrera shot 64. He's looking for his first non-major win on the PGA Tour.
Kevin Chappell was third at 9 under after a 69. Steve Stricker had a 68 to top the group at 8 under.
There will be more than a trophy to raise and a $1.2 million winner's check available Sunday. The four best finishers not previously eligible for the British Open among the top 12 on the final leaderboard will earn spots in the July 17-20 tournament at Royal Liverpool.
Hurley finished his five-year Navy service in 2009 and would still be a naval officer if golf wasn't keeping him busy. He returned to the PGA Tour this year after playing on the Web.com Tour in 2013.
He said nerves won't play a part in how he gets ready for what could be a memorable Sunday.
"I'm going to keep doing what I'm doing," he said. "I just want to put my mind in position so that I can play well. I slept fine last night. The benefit of the Navy if you learn how to sleep anywhere. I think I'll sleep fine tonight, too."

Panasonic Planning to Develop a 'Smart Town' in Japan by 2014
Panasonic, in collaboration with 8 other companies, is going to develop a comprehensive 1000 house 'Smart Town' in Fujisawa city. After the horrible Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant disaster, Japan is focused on a safe and secure energy infrastructure. Each company is responsible for its part of the project from creating the town concept and service model, to energy management services.
The Panasonic clean energy eco-harmonious project aims to house 3,000 people already by March 2014, with full occupancy by 2018. This would be the first town of such kind in the world. The development would cost about 60 billion yen ($700 million) but it still would be more cost efficient than dealing with older structures.
The plan of developing includes three main ideas: eco-conscious master planning; comprehensive information and energy connection; and a next-generation lifestyle. The implementation of this ideas will result in solar panels as well as promotion of electric cars and bicycles. For the last charging stations all around the town will be provided.
The specific focus is on the energy collection, which will include a combination of wind, light, heat and water to fill up the battery storage systems featuring every house.
The global electronics manufacturer, which initiates such projects as the Earth Lunch Hour hopes the Fujisawa green village will be the first iconic eco-community in Japan followed by another initiatives of that kind.

31 Days of Halloween
Make Candy Corn Cookie Truffles - No Baking Required!
Have you noticed around this time every year, corn magically turns into candy? Candy corn is one of those nostalgic beloved autumn candies. Originally made with honey, candy corn has been enjoyed by Americans for more than 100 years. October 30th has even been declared National Candy Corn Day. You can get a head-start on your celebration by whipping up a batch of these Candy Corn Cookie Truffles. For this seasonal treat, I'm pairing candy corn with limited edition Candy Corn Oreo cookies for a simple autumn sweet to make and enjoy. The best part? There's no baking required! If you love no-fuss goodies as much as I do, take a peek at my Chocolate-Mint Cookie Bark for another quick and easy no-bake treat.
Candy Corn Cookie Truffles
- 1 (15.25-oz) package Candy Corn Oreo Cookies
- 1 (8-oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (16-oz) package Vanilla Candiquik
- ⅔ cup candy corn pieces, chopped
- fall color nonpareils
Line a standard 13 x 17 inch baking sheet with wax paper. Set aside.
In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the Candy Corn Oreo cookies to the consistency of fine crumbs.
Add the softened cream cheese and mix until evenly combined and the consistency is similar to soft cookie dough.
Use a large spatula to fold the chopped candy corn pieces in by hand, until the candy is evenly distributed throughout the filling.
Roll the filling into the desired size balls and place onto the wax paper lined cookie sheet. Chill for at least 1 hour.
Melt the Vanilla Candiquik candy coating per the instructions on the package, stirring until completely smooth.
Use a fork or a toothpick to dip the chilled truffles into the candy coating, allowing the excess to drip from the bottom.
Carefully place onto a wax paper lined cookie sheet without touching.
Sprinkle the tops with fall color nonpareils while still wet. Return to the refrigerator and chill until set, around 15 minutes.
Store tightly covered in the refrigerator.
Cook's Note
Depending on how you divide the truffle filling, additional candy coating may be needed. It's recommended that you have an additional package of candy coating on hand before you begin.

Denver Gets Security in Shrewd Orton Signing
Signing Kyle Orton through 2011 was a really, really smart thing to do for the Denver Broncos. Josh McDaniels ,and the Denver front office, are impressing me more and more with each move they make this year. I am not so sure it was the smartest thing for Kyle though, but I'll get to Kyle's missed opportunity later.
A Top Veteran Not Going to Free Agency
In signing Orton to a one year contract, Denver secured what would likely be the top Free Agent QB for 2011, and allow for the future, Tim Tebow, to be developed as how they see fit. Also, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find a quality veteran backup on any given NFL roster. So if Denver decides to start Tebow, and he is either injured or doesn't play well, Denver knows that their backup is fully capable of leading the team for an entire season if need be. If Denver didn't sign Kyle Orton, and let him go to another team in free agency, the other options would not be pretty. Tom Brady, Peyotn Manning, and Brett Favre are all technically scheduled to be free agents in 2011. Manning will be locked up by Week 1 and Favre will retire for good after this season. Unless Tom Brady gets ticked off enough, he will be back with the Patriots next year. In the unlikely event that Brady would be available and Denver magically was able to sign him, it was still a good idea to have a very good vet backup a HOF QB. Matt Moore showed promise last year, but he has yet to play an entire season as a starter. Kyle knows the offense, runs it extremely efficient, and is a leader in the locker room. You won't find that with any other QB in 2011.
Below is a list of the likely free agents. It is not even close that Kyle Orton is the best option above these QBs.
2011 Free Agent Veteran QBs
Alex Smith
Matt Moore
Troy Smith, BAL
Trent Edwards, BUF
JT O'Sullivan, CIN
Seneca Wallace, CLE
Shaun Hill, DET
Brodie Croyle, KC
Chad Pennington, MIA
Tyler Thigpen, MIA
Tarvaris Jackson, MIN
Jim Sorgi, NYG
Kellen Clemens, NYJ
Bruce Gradkowski, OAK
Michael Vick, PHI
Dennis Dixon, PIT
Billy Volek, SD
Kerry Collins, TEN
Chris Simms, TEN
Rex Grossman, WAS
Brady Quinn is Not an Option
The poor performance of Quinn did not instill confidence in anybody. Even though I like Quinn's attitude he is clearly a rattled QB from his Cleveland days, and may not even make the 53 man roster if Tebow continues his development in the Pre-Season allowing Denver to carry only two QBs. Though, I think the rush to lock up Orton was 95% decided by Denver prior to last Saturday's exhibition game. After Quinn's poor showing Orton's solid performance against Cincy just reconfirmed what Denver was planning on doing all along.
Bang for Buck
I have seen plenty of comments on other sites and blogs saying that Orton is not worth that kind of money. Actually an average starting quarterback in the NFL goes much higher than what Denver has committed to Orton. In fact Denver stole from Orton's agent. If you look at the money paid to other veteran QBs that had similar numbers and success to Orton it is not even close to what a good deal Denver negotiated. The contract is actually very shrewd from Denver's side.
Comparable QBs (statistically) in 2009
Yards - Orton ( 11th ) – E. Manning (10th), Cutler (13th), Campbell (14th), Garrard (16th ), Palmer (18th)
TDs – Orton (15th) -- E. Manning (8th), Cutler (8th), Campbell (18th), Garrard (22nd ), Palmer (15th)
INTs -- Orton (13th) -- E. Manning (19th), Cutler (32nd ), Campbell (23rd ), Garrard (8th ), Palmer (17th)
Pass Rating -- Orton (14th) -- E. Manning (11th), Cutler (21st ), Campbell (16th), Garrard (17th ), Palmer (16th)
Comparable QBs, 2009 Record, and Their Contracts
Carson Palmer (10-6) Signed 2005= 6 years, $118 M, Average Salary $10M- $14M per year + $25M Guaranteed
Eli Manning (8-8) Signed 2007= 6 years, $97 M, Average Salary $15.3M per year + $35M Guaranteed
David Garrard (7-9) Signed 2008 = 6 years, $60 M, Average Salary $9.3M per year + $18M Guaranteed
Jay Cutler (7-9) Signed 2008 = 5 years, $50 M, Average Salary $15M per year + $20M Guaranteed
Carson Palmer and David Gerrard are the closest in terms of performance to Kyle Orton's yet Orton is essentially costing Denver half the price. Palmer is scheduled to make about $12 million in base salary in 2011. Orton is only guaranteed $5.5 million with another $3 million in incentives. Not too bad for Pat Bowlen's pocketbook. Something also to onte is that only one of the QBs above had a winning record. Denver went 8-8. So it's obvious that the market for QBs is not predicated directly to wins. Allo that is need is one good season. Orton has already led one team a game short of playoffs in 2008, and provided good numbers in 2009.
Orton's Agent Should Be Fired
Maybe it comes down to how much Orton's agents felt he was worth, and what the upcoming 2011 possible missguided view of the lockout looming overhead, but Orton was about to become the big QB signing for next year's offseason. This was afterall an extension into 2011 and not a brand new deal paying Orton more in 2010. In a best case scenario Orton leads Denver to the playoffs and the market would that paid Matt Cassel and David Garrad $60 million Dollar long term deals would be waiting. Even if Orton were to lose the starting role to Tim Tebow in mid season he still would have been the most sought after veteran on the market which gives Orton leverage to find the best deal. A signing bonus of $10 million would not have been out of the question because Orton would be able to get into a bidding war. Any way you slice it (shy of a career ending njury in 2010) Orton's agent cost him a minimum of $5 million for 2011 and maybe as much as $40 Million Long term and $20 Milion gauranteed.
The Lockout Doesn't Matter
Some people may point out that this has something to do with the lockout. I don't see how it does. If you aren't going to pay Orton in 2011 than the extension is meaningless. The only way the 2011 lockout would effect the contract is if Denver had truly felt that they were not going to have Tebow start in 2012, and wanted to commit long term to Kyle. I think everyone knows Denver was not going to commit to Orton long term (5 years or more) because they Drafted Tim Tebow, and would want to see Orton perform more than one year. The long term extensions don't happen until the QB had a winning season the previous year for that organization (Manning, Palmer, Gerrard), or lead his previous team with success and became a hot free agent (Cutler, Cassel, Shaub) If Orton did lead the Broncos to a 10-6 or beter record, and Denver made the playoffs in 2010, Orton would be demanding a long term big money deal. This would result in the same scenario for a 2011 lockout (no money paid) and the contract would only be an issue for 2012 and beyond. To sum up my point Denver doesn't have to worry about Orton until 2012 with any contract they were looking to sign either long term, or this short term extension. If Denver wanted to let Orton go into Free Agency its a moot point.

Hi guys,
I couldn't find much reviews or comments on newer Manitou stuff.
I'm currently interested in those for my new (budget) build:
Fork: Manitou Minute Pro 140mm
Shock: Manitou Radium Expert 190/50
I read some good things about those on the (very) few posts I found here and the price is damn right for my budget.
The Radium is selling under 200 and the shows up under 300 from time to time on ebay and the likes...
FWIW, I'd prefer not to spend hundreds on tuning and would like to use them out of the box.
I do mostly XC, trail and some light all mountain stuff. I'm not into big drops at all.
Those would be used on a Ghost ASX Plus frame which is intended for 140mm travel (rear/front).
Considering I could get both rear and front suspensions for less then $500 is extremly tempting, which is why I was trying to find more info about newer Manitou products.
So if anyone can share experience with Manitou Minute or Radium, I'd appreciate!

I don't know what it is about Olympic basketball that brings out the most ridiculous arguments. The Dream Team comparisons have become the "But could Kentucky beat [name of terrible NBA team here]?" of the summer at this point. And the players -- both current and former -- are not helping.
Kobe Bryant was actually pretty tame, though he may have fired the first shot in this whole thing. When comparing the two teams, he broke down the matchup, then said six words that didn't sit well with the Dream Team legends.
"So I don't know," Bryant continued, the trace of a smile beginning to play its way across his face. "It'd be a tough one, but I think we'd pull it out."
Michael Jordan ... not so amused! And the game was on.
Jordan told The Associated Press Thursday that he laughed - "I absolutely laughed" - when hearing Bryant's comments that the squad training in Las Vegas could take Jordan and company.
Side note: Jordan is probably finding ways to lay down money on which team is better. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Charles Barkley also found some humor in the situation.
"I just started laughing," Barkley said. "How old is Kobe Bryant? He's 34? And he's calling us old? At the time, we were only like 28, 29. Michael Jordan and me were the same age. We were both 29 ... Other than Kobe, LeBron (James) and Kevin Durant, I don't think anybody else on that team makes our team."
Hey, let's keep the flood of legends going. Whatcha got, Magic?
Magic Johnson: "The 1992 #DreamTeam had 11 HOFs & 23 champ rings & the greatest player of all time in Jordan." twitter.com/SInow/status/2…— Sports Illustrated (@SInow) July 13, 2012
And Scottie Pippen got in on the fun, as well.
Scottie Pippen said the 92' #DreamTeam would beat the current #TeamUSA team by 25 points. Do you agree?— Sports Illustrated (@SInow) July 13, 2012
Kobe, the floor is yours for a rebuttal...
Kobe's response to MJ comments; "He's knows I'm a bad m-----f-----r. I'm not really tripping."— J.A. Adande (@jadande) July 13, 2012
Can we just end this now? I think everyone loves the original Dream Team. They were the gold standard and source of many fantastic memories. But is it necessary for everyone to get their flex on?
Enjoy the current team for what it is: A pretty great collection of talent that should absolutely be the favorite in the Olympics. And remember: The 2011-12 Kentucky squad could whip all their asses anyway.

Contemplating coming back to WordPress and blogging here, rather than my relatively new blogspot one. I like blogspot but I've noticed a massive increase in followers here since I left here (typical!) and I've always prefered wordpress. Or is it you prefer my deep meaningful silences?

If I do come back I'm thinking I will import the posts I added to my blogspot (theres not many but they are all important to me!) And a massive revamp of the blog is needed I think. xo

Hi, I am using thesis, which also uses timthumb (thumb.php), how can i tell ubermenu to use a different path to timthumb
Hi diver66,
UberMenu's timthumb path is defined in ubermenu.php line 20
define('UBERMENU_TT', UBERMENU_PLUGIN_URL.'timthumb/tt.php');
However, you can have two copies of timthumb if you want to.
If you have further support requests, please submit them here, thanks!
How can i change the font of ubermenu in 2.0
Hi diver66,
Please see this FAQ in the support guide: http://wpmegamenu.com/help/#FAQ-menu-font
#megaMenu, #megaMenu li, #megaMenu li a, #megaMenu li .widget, #megaMenu li p{ font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; }
Hi Chris, thanks for your excellent work.
I have one Questinon: How ist it possible to "float:left" the mega menu (Genesis Theme)?
Thanks in advanced an best wishes Tom
Hi Tom,
Glad you like UberMenu
To float the menu left, you would just add
#megaMenu{ float:left; }
(Also, don't forget to deactivate the Full Width Menu Bar option in the Basic Configuration if you only want the bar to be as wide as the menu items).
Of course, the final positioning is dependent on its container as well. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me here with a link to your site.
Sorry Chris… float to left is standard.. i mean float to right . on the advanced settings menu i tested the center option.. that works very well but i would like to have the menu bar to the right side.
Thanks Tom
Hi Tom,
In that case, you would simply change it to:
#megaMenu{ float:right; }
If that doesn't do what you need, please contact me here with a link to your site and I will take a look.
Hi, I have a problem concerning the styling. When I activate the WP Plugin the whole styling on my Buddypress page compose.php disappears. Any idea how this can happen? I would really appreciate your respond. Best regards!
Hi medienfeuer,
I haven't ever heard of anything like that, sorry. If you'd like to send me an email with details of how I can view the issue firsthand, I'll take a look for you.
Hey Chris,
Great Plugin!
How do I get the my icon to display at the beginning of the menu as in your menu display in your documentation?
Hi proch,
To use an icon as a menu item, you set a thumbnail as usual ( http://wpmegamenu.com/help/#mega-images ) and then disable the text ( http://wpmegamenu.com/help/#mega-images-notext )
Hope that helps!
Hi There,
I've been busy trying to get Ubermenu to play nice with the theme I have running ( Boldy by Site5) which uses ddsmoothmenu.
I haven't been able to get the child menu's to size properly:
I've been going through the support manual and been trying to remove ant residual styling.
My header contains this:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'wp_nav_menu' ) ){
wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'main-menu', 'container_id' => 'mainMenu', 'container_class' => 'ddsmoothmenu', 'fallback_cb'=>'primarymenu') );
any changes I make in this result in the menu reverting to primarymenu.
I've also tried adding stuff to my css but that didn't help much either.
Any suggestions?
Looks like you've got it sorted out now, but I've responded to your email
The SevenSpark Support Center has officially launched!Please submit your support requests there
I will continue accepting support requests via email for a few days, but after that everything will be transitioning to the forum, which will provide a much better support experience. If you have any trouble (there may still be a few kinks to work out in the support center), please let me know. Thanks!
If I buy this item…can you help me integrate it properly into my theme? My friend used it on the same theme I want to and it doesn't fit properly. Would you be willing to help?
Hi Michael,
Sure thing, assuming your theme meets the compatibility requirements (see http://wpmegamenu.com/help/#requirements ), and is not listed as a "Known Exception".
What theme do you wish to integrate with?
Ok..I bought it. I am going to upload and show I contact you through the support forum?
Yup, that'll be easiest, thanks!
Ok..I have posted in the forum. Please reply when you can..I really need to get this working as soon as possible.
Hi Michael,
I have replied to your forum post and sent you an email, I'll get you set up No need to post back here, thanks!
updated to 2.0, spent now 4hours in trying to get same result as in previous version.
at first let me congratulate you, the present style-generator is a good step forward.
1) style-generator produces following warning: Warning: stripslashes() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/.sites/41/site159/web/wp-content/plugins/_ubermenu-20/ubermenu.php on line 328
2) style-generator does not save to custom.css as cited
3) submenu link is bold by default, from within generator I cannot change that
4) submenu headers have no hover-background
5) my submenus produce a funny width, showing 2 columns but about 3 columns width.
I would suggest a feature that makes it fully open to developers: just use in style-generator an option for Menu/submenu-header/submenu-link (level1, level2 …) to add css-code that will be applied, like
because its pretty much un-decodable to change the css, as its so complicated.
maybe you write me a PM to check on the "submenu width" problem.
tx a lot, Heli
1. Thanks, I'll look into this. This issue should only occur once, since you updated, and should resolve once you save your styles. If it causes an issue, please post a support request here: http://support.sevenspark.com
2. The Style Generator is not supposed to save to custom.css. It saves to stylegenerator/skin.css. custom.css is for manual CSS styling. Please review the guide closely. http://wpmegamenu.com/help/#style-generator
3. Submenu headers are bold by default, and can be adjusted in the Style Generator. Sub menu links are not bold by default, but they may be inheriting styles from your theme that make them bold. You can customize this with custom CSS styles.
4. The Style Generator is intended to offer easy settings for the most common styling needs. Unfortunately, not every style type can be included, or the options would become overwhelming. If your needs expand beyond what the Style Generator offers, you can customize futher using custom CSS . Think of the Style Generator as a launching point.
5. Submenu column widths depend on your settings. Please see the guide's extensive section on Layouts, especially http://wpmegamenu.com/help/#jquery-enhanced . If you're still having trouble, feel free to submit a support request here: http://support.sevenspark.com with a link to your site and I'll take a look.
6. You can add custom CSS in UberMenu > Style Configuration > Custom CSS , or you can copy the code created by the Style Generator into the custom.css file to customize it, as detailed in the guide http://wpmegamenu.com/help/#customize . The presets skins are well-commented so you can determine what styles you need to use from those. You can also use the Customization Assistant to guide you: http://wpmegamenu.com/customizer/
I can't PM you because you're not an author. If you want to submit a support request, you can do so here: http://support.sevenspark.com
I am working now over 6 hours to simply reproduce the last working menu, a simple 2 column menu without any fancy features – its a pain in the a…..
Now we lost in Ubermenu-Version 2.0 the menu-option "maximum-submenu-width" in the style generator that made it kind of possible to determine the Number of columns shown.
as far as I can remember (I am back now in v. 1.1.3) we also lost "minimum-column-width" in the style-generator
so everything regarding width and columns is calculated, and the calculation of the widths … seems to be inscrutable for me.
finally: the new manual is beautiful but it lacks again a understandable help for creating custom.csshttp://wpmegamenu.com/help/#MEGA-FAQ-Custom-CSS
the link you provide is not working—> http://wpmegamenu.com/help/#MEGA-custom-styles-css
and the css-code is so dense, that I cannot check it out.
why not simply provide a one page manual that references the used css-tags because I simply get lost in long lists of
megaMenu ul li.ss-nav-menu-mega ul.sub-menu li ul.wpmega-postlist div.wpmega-postlist-title a{
and its very hard to debug the css of a menu in firebug, when I see following long list of "class" names.
I am working now over 6 hours to simply reproduce the last working menu, a simple 2 column menu without any fancy features – its a pain in the a…..
Sorry you're having trouble, but I think your issues stem from not reading the guide. I know it's a lot, but it is well organized and needs to be read. The majority of your questions are answered in the guide.
Now we lost in Ubermenu-Version 2.0 the menu-option "maximum-submenu-width" in the style generator that made it kind of possible to determine the Number of columns shown.
With the new system, this setting no longer makes sense, so it was removed. You can read about how to make different numbers of columns shown here: http://wpmegamenu.com/help/#pure-css
as far as I can remember (I am back now in v. 1.1.3) we also lost "minimum-column-width" in the style-generator
This is still available, right at the end of the "Sub Menu Level" section of the Style Generator.
so everything regarding width and columns is calculated, and the calculation of the widths … seems to be inscrutable for me.
This is all explained in the guide. Column widths are either determined naturally (by the widths of their content), or are divided into even columns if you are using full-width submenus. http://wpmegamenu.com/help/#jquery-enhanced
finally: the new manual is beautiful but it lacks again a understandable help for creating custom.css
I updated the link, thanks. But the section on customizing was easily accessible by clicking the "Customizing UberMenu" link in the left menu bar, then clicking "Fully Custom CSS ".
why not simply provide a one page manual that references the used css-tags because I simply get lost in long lists of and its very hard to debug the css of a menu in firebug, when I see following long list of "class" names.
UberMenu provides an incredible amount of out-of-the-box customization ability. If you want to customize your menu beyond that, it requires some work. That being said, I have made it as easy as possible for you to customize. I've provided a detailed guide, explaining how things work. I've thoroughly commented the style presets, so you can use them as examples to see how different code effects the menu. I've provided a LESS stylesheet for each preset, so that they can be easily customized. I've created a robust Style Generator to make it easy for people who aren't CSS experts – clearly this cannot cover every conceivable use case without becoming unwieldy, so it takes care of the most common use cases, and acts as a foundation for further, manual customizations. I've built a customization assistant so that you can get the styles you need even if you aren't proficient with Firebug. At the end of the day, if you're unhappy with all that, I honestly don't know what to tell you, sorry. If you need customizations beyond what these features offer, and are having trouble doing it yourself, it may be time to hire a freelance developer to assist you. Try to keep in mind that you received this upgrade free of charge, even though it represents a huge investment on my part. If you are unhappy with the results, you can always return to the old version, assuming you kept a backup as I recommended (and also noted that you should have backed up your style-generator generated styles before upgrading).
If you have further questions or comments, kindly post them in the support forum, as requested. And please be respectful if you do so.
can I use this under a slider on homepage
Hi Bruce,
UberMenu replaces one of your existing menus by default. If you want to add a new menu, you can place it wherever you want using UberMenu Easy Integration, but that will require you to add a line of PHP code to your files.
Hope that helps,
could you please add in the css file of the online Manual http://wpmegamenu.com/help/#install-plugin
the option to hide the sidebar.
@media print { #body #wrap .navi-panel {display:none;} }
then I can a printed manual version, tx.
Hi Helir,
I've adjusted the guide to make it formatted better for print media, thanks for the suggestion.
For your reference, this is the proper code:
@media print { .wrap #nav-panel{ display:none; } }
I only point this out because I hope it might help you out with your customization styling as well: while your CSS seems pretty close, there are some details that make it incorrect. For example, 'body' is an element, not an ID (don't place a # in front of it), 'wrap' is a class, not an ID (it should be .wrap, not #wrap), and 'nav-panel' is an ID, not a class (it should be #nav-panel, not .nav-panel), and it's nav-panel, not navi-panel. It seems your CSS is very close, but as the details are off, the code won't work. Perhaps it is this type of issue that is creating some frustration for you when using Firebug to customize UberMenu? Just something to keep in mind; perhaps paying extra attention to these details might make things easier for you
Hope that helps!
Any ETA when this vendor's site will be back online? sevenspark and wpmegamenu are both offline.
Thanks for the heads up, unfortunately I've been having intermittent outages with my Rackspace server. My apologies for the inconvenience, I'm working on the issue and the server should be back online shortly
Thanks for the awesome quick response! You da man!
The server is now back online. Thanks for your patience!
Apologies, it seems to be having trouble again. I'll be working to resolve things as quickly as possible. Sorry again for any inconvenience!
Hello. I want to make a menu item to link out of of site. How can I make this item to open in a new window and not in parrent site?
Thank you in your site.
In the Appearance > Menus screen, click Screen Options in the upper right.
Then, under Show advanced menu properties, check "Link Target"
Then check the "Open link in a new window/tab" option on your menu item
i WANT this plugin now but…. why is there always a 'but'... hmm… Okay here's what I wanted to ask. I don't know anything about css and html, I'm also a programmer but in c++, c#.. so understanding code is nothing new to me so I wanted to ask you could I get examples of e.g. your menu when I buy this plugin? Cause it would take a while until I figure out how to set it up. Ty. Regards, Davor
Hi Davor,
Thanks for your interest in UberMenu
I'm not sure I understand exactly what you're asking. UberMenu comes with 20+ pre-made styles (including all the menu presets that you can try out in the demo), as well as a GUI -based style generator for creating variations on those styles; so the only reason you'd need to write any code is if you want to make advanced customizations, or if your WordPress theme isn't coded properly.
It's also very easy to set up, you just install it like a normal WordPress plugin and activate the appropriate menu location in your theme. Feel free to review the installation instructions for full details.
Hope that answers your question!
How do I make the sub-menu appear inline? I'm on WordPress Twenty Ten theme without any CSS mods done to it. Perhaps there is something in the theme CSS file that prevents the display of horizontal (submenu) items?
Hi bjornsennbrink,
Yes, I believe TwentyTen may have some residual styling. If you could please submit a support request in the forum and provide a link to your site, I'll be happy to take a look
@sevenspark The site where the issue is present is not for the public to see (yet). However, I run another site under Twenty Ten and after activating the plugin there I got the horizontal layout going. I'll take it from there. Thank you for your quick reply.
You're welcome

For Wake up | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/18/12
When you see all trough the bible, you have a paradigm, and loss all other possibilities to see the wonderful massages that humans can create.
Life is multiplicity, nobody has the truth.
Chumbawamba got a point, one of the millions that exist,
a way to confront something, to pass trough...
The people really matters. This song is made of full loving help to the others...the people matters.

And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands. Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge.... Isaiah 5:12-13
I love Chumbawamba. | Reviewer: Sheena Ricarte | 2/17/09
I love this song by Chumbawamba. The fact that their genre is Anarchist makes me interested in them more and more. Chumbawamba's music is so Brit, so high, so civilized. I love them ! "We'll be singing.. When we're winning!" indeed !
Comments on the lyrics | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/1/08
The lyrics seem so simple and true and jus as mentioned above, I too have been singing this song since a long time but could never quite understand the lyrics ..thanks to this post ..now I can ..its wonderful.
Thanks again !
Wow | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/3/07
I have loved this song for however long it's been out. I never knew what the words were and for years it seems, I have been going crazy to figure them out. This was great! Now I can sign to it as well! xD
Excellent | Reviewer: George A Kingston | 6/30/07
I listen to the song while reading this, its absolutly amazing, the words perfectly capture the song.
Excellent Search Results | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/28/07
I couldn't recall the artist or song title and only a few of the words (not even a complete sentence) and your site guess it on the first try! Very impressive! I'm happy that I now know the song/band name but also b/c it was driving me crazy all day!
