Vans classic skateboarding kicks are about as simplistic as it gets in the sneaker world. True, sometimes collaborators pile up camos and symbols and leopard printed snake skin and obnoxious shit to complicate things a bit. And sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. However, the newest OTW collaboration with footwear accessories label, Starks, enhances Vans' simplicity, while still creating something unique and totally worth your hard earned shekels. Designed by Starks founder, Alex Dymond, the collaboration will be in select stores mid September. Dymond's favorite augmentation is the raised foxing, which makes the sole of the sneaker appear taller. We, on the other hand, won't choose favorites.

I wanted jerk chicken and I can't make rice. I also thought about this recipe all day and had to try it. Ok, I used jarred jerk sauce which was fine in a pinch but I'd normally make it (I bought the chicken on my lunch hour and then marinated it in the work fridge). The pasta and peas was sort of a play on the traditional rice and peas. It's a cream sauce made with a little jerk sauce for the heat and some coconut milk to accompany the cream. This turned out great and you could even do the pasta on it's own. This is also my method for making a cream sauce. I'm not sure if someone taught me this or I just cheated my way into making a cream sauce.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. Guido Bagett celebrated his 102nd birthday on Monday. The WWII sniper celebrated the big day surrounded by his three kids and grand kids.
Bagett was married for more than 74 years, and served in Patton's third army division as a sniper.
He said now he spends his time gardening, and was even given a new tomato plant which he planted immediately.
When asked what was the most fun he had ever had Bagett didn't even hesitate.
"The last four days have been something else for me! I've got all my family together and enjoyed all of it," said Bagett.
He celebrated the day with a cake, balloons and a nearly 10 foot long card that had hundreds of signatures wishing him a 'Happy Birthday'.

One of the most frequently asked questions that Jared and I answer is a supplement question. "What do you take,? When do you take it,? What does it do?" Everyone these days, myself included, is looking to maximize the results of their hard work with supplementation. Lets face it some of the foods we eat these days are not exactly rich in nutrients and vitamins, and supplements are a great way of making sure our body gets what it needs to stay healthy, get really fit, and look great naked.
There are thousands of supplements out there and in my opinion most of them are crap. Throughout my football career I had to be very careful of what I took so I have done quite a bit of research on the products that I use. Below I will talk about some of the supplements that I use daily, and would recommend for you as well.
Lets start with the morning. If your anything like me getting moving in the morning is tough. Starting my morning with Mocha Progenex mixed with my black coffee is a great option. This can be done with "More Muscle" or "Recovery," pick your poison. On days where I get a great breakfast and am not in the mood for coffee Advocare SPARK is what I will chose. Spark comes in a bunch of different flavors and is a great source of energy that will wake you up and give you a sharp mental focus without the jittery feeling of a cup of coffee. Morning is also a good time to throw in some fish oil as well. Progenex and Advocare both make a quality fish oil.
Next we will go to Pre-workout. Getting prepared for a CrossFit workout is much different than a "Golds Gym" type workout. We can't take something that will get our heart rate jacked up because it'll make you feel like your heart is going to explode during the WOD. Amino Energy is a BCAA that I use often before workouts. It wakes you up a bit and tastes pretty good as well. This is something you can sip on throughout the strength as well and will continue to give you energy with out making your heart pound. Another one of my go to pre-workouts is Advocare Muscle Fuel. This is a little more of a old school pre-workout but wont raise your heat rate to much. If I really need a pick me up to get motivated to workout this is what I will use. Now for my favorite thing to take before a big metcon, or any breathing workout is O2 Gold by Advocare. I joke around and call this product " the third lung." They are pills that you take 60 minutes before you workout and they bring more oxygen to your lungs. You wont get winded as fast and when you do get winded you seem to catch your breath very fast. It's a crossfitters dream supplement in my opinion.
Post workout is maybe the most important part of recovering and building muscle. My personal favorite is Progenex Recovery, or More Muscle mixed with coconut water. Throwing a scoop or two of Glutamine will also help with recovering after a tough workout. Progenex is possibly the best tasting protein shake Ive ever had, but its actually quality whey protein as well. Try and make the shake no longer than 15 minutes after your workout for best results.
One of the most forgotten times for supplementation is before bed. Most of our recovery is done while we sleep, so getting good quality sleep is a great way to get our body to build muscle and recover. The two products that I recommend for this are Advocare Nigh Time Recovery and Progenex Cocoon. The Night Time Recover comes in pill form and the Cocoon is a shake that you mix with hot water. Both of these products have very similar ingredients and will put you in a deep deep sleep!
If you have any questions on any of these supplements or other products, where to get them, how much they cost, or how to take them, please don't hesitate to ask.

Each week, we have been posting extra workouts for our members to complete. These extras are for those members that want to improve and are trying to get ready for upcoming competitions/ the CrossFit open.
Because our gym is expanding in members, equipment may be needed for classes, extras should be done during the following times:
* During the 6am or 7am class
* Before or after the 9am and 12pm classes
* Before the 5pm class
Our evening classes are usually the largest, and because of that, we are asking that you really try and get these done before 5pm. If you cannot get your extras in during those times, you can work on them on Sundays, during Open Gym.
Those of you that are doing the Hatch Cycle should be completing your workouts on Mondays and Thursdays before class. On Mondays, you should complete the Hatch cycle and then do the daily WOD. Thursday will be your active recovery day. You should complete your Hatch cycle and then work on mobility. Sunday will be your rest day.
Our goal at CFRTE 1 is to help everyone improve and be the best crossfitters that you can be! The opens are right around the corner and the above mentioned extras will help you be more prepared for them (the opens), as well as any of the upcoming competitions, which we encourage you to do.

Santana Is Gathering No Moss
By Kevin Newell
Jets Insider.com Head Writer
May 6th, 2003
Santana Moss has heard it all before. He's too small to be an effective every-down receiver in the National Football League. He's injury prone. Can he play a full season?
Moss, who was a heralded first round draft pick in 2001, played in just five games that season due to torn cartilage in his left knee sustained in an intra-squad game during the preseason and consequent surgery. He was later felled by hamstring problems. It was, for all intents and purposes, a lost season.
While the 2002 preseason and regular season did include an assortment of ailments, such as a thigh injury, a strained hip flexor, a quadriceps pull, and a sprained left ankle suffered during a Monday Night contest in Oakland, none of them shelved Moss for an extensive period of time.
He played in 15 games, starting three, caught 30 balls for 473 yards and scored four touchdowns. But it was on the punt team where he had his biggest impact and solidified his place as one of the premier return men in the game. Moss became the first player since J.T. Smith in 1979 to have punt return TDs in successive games - a 63-yarder vs the Browns and a 53-yard jaunt at San Diego. He also led both the AFC and NFL with a 16.5 average.
A recent conversation that Jets Insider.com had with Moss at Jets minicamp gives you the impression that he's on a mission in 2003. The swagger and confidence he displayed at the University of Miami are back. More importantly, he's healthy. He says there are no lingering effects from his knee injury. He is pain free. In fact, he says he didn't encounter any pain last season. For him, it was all a matter of getting his sea legs back, so to speak.
"When you are weak there, as far as your legs go, you're not going to be as strong as you were," Moss said. "Last year I felt like I did everything I wanted to do on my leg. It just wasn't as strong as it was. And that's because I didn't really emphasize working on it because I had to let it heal."
It's evident from his rippling torso that Moss has made a concerted effort to bulk up his 5-foot-10, 185-pound frame during the offseason. He wants to get bigger and stronger, mainly to help guard against the rigors an NFL season can wreak on the human body. But more so to win a starting job. He is determined to prove that he's more than just a "special" special teams player.
Moss returned to his native Miami, Fla. and participated in a workout group comprised of former Hurricanes players, including Edgerrin James, Reggie Wayne, and Ed Reed. Three days a week Moss and his buddies pumped iron under the direction of Andreu Swasey, Miami's Head Strength and Conditioning Coach.
It was a chance to rekindle old friendships and forget about the gridiron.
"I left football alone," he said. "I basically just hit the weight room. I did some things with my legs that I couldn't last year because of my injury. I really hit the legs real hard. I made sure I got my squats in. E.J. [Edgerrin James] had a similar injury to mine, but his was a little different. He was doing the same thing with his legs. We were building our base so we could be ready for the coming season."
Entering his third season in the league, Moss is developing, evolving, and more importantly, maturing as a player. He is becoming more familiar with the defensive backs, adjusting to the opposing schemes, and figuring out ways to get open. Best of all, he's learned that while speed may indeed kill, sometimes it's wise to operate out of second or third gear, as opposed to keeping it in first.
"You don't have to fly out and run fast every route," said Moss. "Every route doesn't have to be a 4.2. But I'm a guy that's used to using his speed all the time. It kind of helps me to be able to run that fast and get open. I learned last year that I didn't have to do that on every route. It kind of made me a more patient guy when it comes to running routes. And seeing the defense, seeing the schemes before I just go out there and run a route without knowing what coverage is being played against me."
From talking with Moss, you get the feeling that if he had his way, he'd strap on his helmet today for a chance to get back on the field for another crack at the Raiders. Having had a chance to get the kinks out, become more acclimated to the Jets offensive system, and work in some reps with Chad Pennington, Moss is looking forward to training camp and beyond.
"It's all positive," said Moss of his minicamp impressions. "We were able to get back into the flow of football. Just knowing where we came from last year, how we ended up the season, even though we didn't go where we wanted to go. But the things that we did as a unit, I think we can grow from that.
"As for myself, I'm growing yearly and every day. I feel that the more accustomed you get to this system, the more accustomed you get to this level, you're going to be a better a professional. Knowing that I have those years behind me, and I'm growing, I've stopped thinking so much and now I know what to expect. You can't help but look at the positive side of that."

Prisoners' project voices beyond the cell at First Parish Church
Tomorrow evening Dot residents will have their monthly opportunity to go to Meetinghouse Hill to hear the intimate thoughts and feelings of prisoners in the Commonwealth.
First Parish Church has long supported social justice programs. One of the Unitarian Universalist (UU) church's more recent collaborations has been to offer space regularly to the 'Through Barbed Wire' (TBW) program, which every fourth Friday of the month presents poetry, films, readings, and discussions related to Massachusetts inmates. The series was originally hosted by the Community Church on Boylston St. and then bounced around town to various places including Dimock Health Center in Roxbury and The South End Technology Center at Tent City.
The program was conceived and continues to be promoted by Arnold "Arnie" King, who since 1972 has been serving life without parole at the Bay State Correctional Center at Norfolk for first degree murder.
In 1971 , as a drug-addicted 18 year-old released just two days earlier on parole, King fired point black into the face of a total stranger, who happened to be John Labanara, aide to former Mayor Kevin White. King and his army of supporters seek to have King become the first prisoner to have a life without parole sentence commuted by Deval Patrick. The governor has repeatedly denied the appeal despite the pleas of many politicians, doctors and scholars, who testify that, in this case at least, the convict would do more good for society outside of rather than behind bars.
While TBW is tied to King's efforts to gain his freedom, he seems sincere in helping young people avoid prison or become productive if they land there. Here are excerpts from recent TBW readings about claustrophobic lives "inside the box."
life without, by Arnie King:
life without… being categorized, scrutinized, and ostracized through barbed wire, is a converging meniscus view. Will I ever be seen clearly again or simply destined to wander aimlessly in this 6x8 container?
life without… an opportunity to rectify a mistake involving loss of life, after 40 summers gone by. The misery caused by my hand has been transferred into a gift of service toward others, but will it ever be enough!
Vogue, by One Sun
You wear it well - that box.
The wood complements your skin tone.
Your suit is 2 sizes too big.
It doesn't matter - you're wearing that box.
Both at Norfolk and during several furloughs King has earned three degrees including a Masters from Boston University. In 2011 he received the Drylongso Anti-racism Award and the Sacco and Vanzetti Social Justice Award.
Among the lives he touched was that of Joe Lewis, who as a teen attended the City School in Dorchester, where he connected with King through his youth development programs. Lewis says, "Mr. King has a tremendous effect on students from juvenile day reporting centers and [he] would be able to contribute more if he were accessible to the youth within the community."
The connection with the Meetinghouse Hill church started when King met pastor Art Lavoie during a Mother's Day walk in Dorchester. Church coordinators say about a dozen people have been showing up consistently on the fourth Fridays to share their concerns over a potluck meal.

Mr. Harding has produced a well-researched summary of what Through Barbed Wire and the Commutation Project are about. The article's scope, clarity, and enthusiasm are greatly applauded and appreciated. The inclusion of the Community Church of Boston, Dimock Detox Center, and South End Tech Center magnify the blessings put forth for many years by their simple acts of kindness - opening their powerful doors to our community. These blessings continue to flow now through the First Parish Church of Dorchester, in the neighborhood where Family and Friends of Prisoners was started by John McGrath, Donna Finn, Ruth McCambridge, and other dear friends back in the late 1970s.

What the heck am I doing wrong
So this is my second go round with Medi.2 years ago I lost 40 lbs ( the 207 in my profile is where Medi counts me since that was where I was the first time I started)but sadly let most of it come back. I started back on August 22. I was 197 at that point. First week 6.2 second week 3.6 last week .8 , this week based on my scale and what time of day either 1.5 or 2.5 or gained .5 What the heck??
I am following the plan, weighing my food, and this time I am working out 3-4 times a week at a gym. When I am at the gym I do the treadmill for 30 minutes at 3.5 mph, then weights for about another 20 minutes. One day upper body next lower.
I am trying to drink lots of water but as a teacher it is not easy....
The ketostix have gone bad already, this happened all the time last time,never lasted. I was in ketosis, but added fruit last week, so who knows! The fruit BTW was 1/3 of an apple hardly a pint of ice cream!!!
I can see a big difference in my body, my pants are all loose and my arms are getting toned, I just get so discouraged because I read about these HUGE loses and really mine are not what I wanted to see.
I want to see big numbers too! I am turning 55 on the 10th of October :birthday:and would love to see the low 170's by then. Any advice?? Or should I just stop whining????
Sorry, no advice as I am new to this, but didn't want to read and not respond. I am sure one of the veterans will have some good advice for you, hang in there!
I am in my fourth week and am down 14 lbs. Not as much as a lot of other people but I am probably not exercising enough either. I do have a hard time drinking all my water because I am on the go a lot. I have been maintaining a 3-3.5 loss each week though. Not sure if I should be losing more....
If you're exercising, specifically lifting weights, just wait it out a bit and you'll see the losses. When I first added exercise my weight went up. Just hang in there, you'll lose the weight.
We have just about the same weightloss in 4 weeks. I am down 14.8lbs.
I asked at the clinic & they told me that 1-3lbs is a great loss for a week. Its easier on your body. I dont know if they were trying to make me feel better or telling the truth. But I am happy either way!
I think that is a great loss. At end of my 3rd week I was down 13lbs so not too much difference. I have been pretty good about walking so I think that may be helping. Splurge on an ipod, makes it go by so much easier.
Happy holidays!

An agreement with the Richmond County Board of Education could pave the way for city buses to move to south Augusta and the Medical College of Georgia Foundation to redevelop the city's 15th Street transit property.
Under the agreement, going before the city's public services committee Monday, the city would get the school board's half-interest in an 8-acre tract off Mike Padgett Highway where Augusta intends to build a $9.48 million transit operation and maintenance facility.

Despite few appearances in Augusta media over the past decade, officials say composite sketches remain among the most powerful tools in the arsenal of law enforcement agencies in Georgia and South Carolina.
A sketch by former Georgia Bureau of Investigation forensic artist Marla Lawson led to the capture of Eric Rudolph, who was convicted in the bombing of Centennial Park during the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.
Years later, she repeated the feat in a local case.
'Tis the season for fires.
The holidays bring lots of joy, but there is also an increased fire risk that comes with turkeys, Christmas decorations, heaters, fireplaces, and candles, said Jason Beard, an Augusta Fire Department chief.
Nearly 47,000 fires occur nationally during the winter holidays, claiming more than 500 lives, causing more than 2,200 injures and costing $554 million in property damage, according to the American Red Cross.
It's a semiprivate affair in which local residents armed with flashlights, storage packers and wads of cash travel the area in hopes of scoring rare jewelry, Civil War relics or a first-edition Superman comic book.
Self-storage auctions have been taking place in Augusta for at least three decades, but have started gaining increased popularity in the past four years, with reality TV shows following groups of modern day treasure hunters who earn their livings through buying abandoned lockers and reselling the contents for a profit.
After more than eight months heading the Richmond County Coroner's Office, Mark Bowen thinks he and his deputy coroners have built back trust in a department marred by the alleged actions of his predecessor.
Additional layers of accountability have helped, he said.
Following the December arrest of then-Coroner Grover Tuten amid allegations of theft and oath-of-office violations, Bowen, who was Tuten's chief deputy coroner, immediately made changes in the department's policy to prevent abuses.
The Burke County Sheriff's Office says its investigation into a "suspicious situation" involves a victim who was burned beyond recognition in a vehicle fire this weekend.
Sgt. Dedric Smith said the fire engulfed a Ford Windstar and might have happened Saturday morning. He would not elaborate on what might have caused the fire.
County Coroner Susan Salemi said the victim is believed to be male, and that officials have made contact with someone who might confirm the victim's identity.
SHANGHAI — Even in the midst of a meltdown, Bubba Watson never lost hope Sunday in the HSBC Champions.
He stood on the 16th tee with a two-shot lead. He trudged off the 17th green facing a one-shot deficit behind five players suddenly tied for the lead. And right when it looked as though Watson had blown it, he delivered a finish that not even the creator of "Bubba golf" could have imagined.

Plenty of very serious news stories have an element of humor. Take the one about the house at 9716 Watercress Drive in northwest Fort Worth.Rather, that would be the one about the slab at that address, where a house used to be until a city contractor removed it on July 12.Wiped it clean away. By mistake.The condemned house next door at 9708 Watercress Drive is the one that was supposed to go away.Think about how David Underwood felt. He owns the property, the former house and the now-clean slab. His day job is as development director for the United Community Centers, and the house formerly belonged to his grandmother.Probably every homeowner knows the feeling of having been away from their property for a while and experiencing a touch of anxiety driving up to it again, taking a fresh look and then breathing a tiny sigh of relief on seeing that everything is OK.Underwood and his wife have another home in southwest Fort Worth, and they had just returned from a trip to Boston. They hadn't been to the Watercress house, which was vacant, in a month, Underwood said.So they were driving up to it last Saturday, waiting for that first glimpse of the house, but the tiny sigh of relief never came. Now think about how Dennis Shingleton's assistant felt. Shingleton is the City Council member whose district includes Watercress Drive. His assistant took the call on Monday when Underwood wanted to know where his house was — or to be more exact, why it wasn't where it was supposed to be.What's that, you say? You can't find your house? Is this a joke?If only that had been a prank call.So now the very serious part happens. Somebody, either the city or the contractor, probably, owes Underwood some money. He says they're all trying to figure out how much.Fortunately, nobody was hurt and nobody is homeless. But somebody has some very serious explaining to do.

04.01.07 - By Mark Pickering: As negotiations for a blockbuster domestic cruiserweight clash pitting David Haye against Enzo Macarinelli appeared on the verge of meltdown last week, it has emerged that both parties have hammered out a deal for the popular pair to meet on April 7th at the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff. Team Haye offered Maccarinelli and promoter Frank Warren a fresh set of negotiations this week after the Welshman labelled the original £150,000 career high purse offer as derisory..
European champion and WBC no.2 ranked contender Haye made one last ditch attempt to save the dream clash with an improved offer and new set of terms, We are now increasing that offer to £180,000.
What he must remember is that when O'Neil Bell and Jean-Marc Mormeck competed in a unification fight in January 2006 they both got £103,000, said the Hayemaker.
The Bermondsey fighter issued a statement of intent as he looked to lure the WBO Cruiserweight Champ into battle, "I've been dieting all through Christmas in the hope that this fight happens.
If it weren't for the fans demanding this match-up I wouldn't bother with it. I'm next in line for the WBC title, and, I'm sure most would agree, the WBO title is a major step down from the WBC championship, the 18-1 (17) Haye said.
The 26-year-old looked to sweeten the proposition for the Swansea man, "The incentives are all in Enzo's favour.
He has openly said he is chasing a fight with O'Neil Bell, and a win over me, with the rankings I have, would let him leapfrog the rest of the queue, he added.
The Londoner was clear in announcing his motivation for extending the challenge, Frank Warren tried to take the shine off my win over Giacobbe Fragomeni (in November) by saying I had dodged Maccarinelli and that his fighter would destroy me.
As soon as I saw that I was determined to make the fight happen and prove him wrong. Warren clearly didn't expect that response. He just wanted to stick some throwaway lines in his newspaper column and hope it did the job (of discrediting Haye's career-best win over Fragomeni).
Terms for the hugely sought-after bout were concluded on Wednesday after a tumultuous string of negotiations.
The clash will provide a stellar precursor to the Joe Calzaghes homecoming, in the evenings main event against The Contender runner-up, unfancied American Peter Manfredo Jr. live on ITV1.

So do any of you know whether Sam Harris is circumcised or not?
And just for fun too: you can answer in the poll whether you think he is circumcised or not. Sam Harris is also more than welcome to answer the question - that would be great]]>
Free will is an illusion…..this has been a momentous realization for me.
It was frightening at first-to see how I had been driven by old ideas and beliefs, doctrines-
everything that I had ever seen, known, learned, experienced…all that shaped me for so very long.
Not to say I am perfectly aware, all the time-I can fall asleep again easily.
Mindfulness has been the only way I have been able to return to an awakened state in my daily travails.
And it's life or death for me to know this-I have been in a 12 step recovery program for a few years, and
I almost died because I could not buy into the idea of another doctrine-I could not accept deep down that
turning my 'will' over to a higher power would 'save' me. Bully for the many that ARE doing well with this-
I am heart happy for them. I understand too. For most of my life before recovery, I had some deep seated need
to believe in something…..it's what I really was seeking in booze…absolution, relief, redemption..meaning.
I can tell you that I suffered a great deal more-self made of course-sitting in rooms where I was chastised for
not buying into belief. I really, really wanted to believe…I thought that I had to believe. I thought I was 'failing'
somehow. And that put me into an even more precarious satate of mind, one which resulted in my drinking again at
that juncture.
I am not panning 12 step programs, I see how they can be effective. I tried to make it work-I sponsored, I went to
meeting after meeting. And still something lurked within me…some..truth. I became even more hopeless.
I wondered-was it not another illusion of my mind/ego to turn my will over to this other idea? I just could not buy into it.
It was a different kind of pain, for I thought…if this can't work for me….I am as good as done. It's the end of the line for me.
After I drank, and almost died as I actually drank TO die, I had some…moment of insight that lasted maybe all of a few
seconds, but also felt like it lasted for an eternity.
I omit much of it here, but will share the salient point-and it was this: that having no free will is NOT a terrible
thing. It does not mean that I am chained to my past, or that I must always operate from old ideas and beliefs
that are deeply ingrained, almost invisible. It means that I am actually free-just because I can see that how
I have acted upon old ideas and beliefs for most of my life. It is this awareness that sets me free. And
as I said-I can fall asleep to it, I am no enlightened guru of sorts. But I can awaken to it again and again,
and the feeling that ensues from that is..just being. Without frenetically trying to be in the moment, I just am.
Sam speaks of meditation-not the kind that is designed to 'trick' one's mind into a certain state, but as a method
of getting to that simple awareness. It may be for you, or me, it may not. Everyone rides their own donkey up the mountain,
as it were. (Even the 'mountain' being an illusion)!
I am only sharing my own experience, as Sam is there. And I must tell you that it has been a delight to live unfettered (for
the most part) by detrimental ideas such as shame, sorrow, fear…etc. THAT is what has been keeping me sober: not by my free will, but not by an idea of a higher power's will either. I am sober because I am mindful, as much as I can be. Sometimes it takes meditative practices, sometimes it is simply there….here…awake and aware to the present moment. In THIS moment, I have no past,
I have no future. I am not bandied about by other's ideas either-I am simply watchful.
And the more that I understand how I have been driven by illsuions, the more I get to grow and learn…the more
I understand how others can be driven too, which is better than forgiveness-seeing that means there is nothing to resent,
nothing to forgive.
I started reading and listening to Sam's essays, debates and books around two years ago. I've got through quite a chunk of material and am truly bowled over by Sam's knowledge and his communicative abilities.
Having recently watched his Young Turks interview in which he and Cenk discussed the situation in the Middle East, I began looking for his opinions on the specificities of the 9/11 attacks. Sam seems very willing to go into the specificities of the Qur'an to demonstrate that the Muslim faith is dangerous, but I can't seem to find any direct response to the Tower 7 conspiracy theories, for example. I certainly don't consider myself a conspiracy theorist, but of all the confusing aspects of the 9/11 attacks, the bits that I struggle to rationalise are Tower 7 and the nature of the collapses of the Twin Towers - i.e. the fact that they all seem to implode.
I respect Sam's opinion and so simply want to hear his take on these specificities.
I can only imagine he must have been asked these things a million times, and I am somewhat late to the party.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks very much.]]>
Barabbas means "son of the father", and his first name was Jesus. That was taken ;out in the King James version but restored in the modern bibles.]]>
Now here is the problem with this argument:
This is a question of causality which not many people have pointed. The is a question of what is necessary and what is sufficient for causality. What is common to all these countries who have different rates of polling results is Islam. So Islam is a necessary condition. Is it sufficient? No.
It is like any infectious disease. The virus is the necessary condition, but there are other factors like immunity, genetics which determine if the person is gets the disease. That doesn't mean that we say it is not the germ it is a multitude of factors right?. Here virus/bacteria is the necessary condition. Take out the germ and none will get the disease.
Any thoughts?]]>
Did you see this report: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2014/10/28/the-ghosts-of-gaza-israel-s-soldier-suicides.html?via=newsletter&source=CSMorning
Would love to hear your take on this…
One of the two major areas of discussion was the relative roles of religiosity and political, social conditions in the generation of terrible behavior. Unfortunately this point was continually skirted and diverted in questions of whether Islam or Christianity was worse in engendered behavior or as a ideology. Once again, I happen to agree with Cenk on this point that for the most part it is social/political conditions are much more powerful determinant, although I also agree with Harris that as a religio/social/political ideology Islam is particularly amenable to conflating the causes of reaction. There was a confusion, or failure to separate out the roles of the new and old Testaments as well, both were mentioned but the separated roles would be mentioned then lost in the tense miasma of this conversation. Also lost was the temporal issue, that what we are dealing with now is an Islamic negativity. (BTW Buddhist monks in Burma did use religious justifications for the killing of Muslims! and one of two branches of Sikhism, a religion that was supposedly a way of bridging religious strife between Muslims and HIndus, recently committed an act of terror against members of the other branch!)
At the end of the conversation Sam H. positioned himself as a philosopher trying to create a nuanced and questioning approach to serious issues. However, after three hours of tense, frustratingly un-nuanced conversation, that fell rather flat.]]>

The fact that she is just sitting there and did not try to deny anything says she did a lot more than kiss this guy. So if she is just sitting there on her ass, i say do not give her any time to formulate a story,. She texted you and told you how excited she was to be coming home to you knowing she was planning to go out of town to bang another man in two days.
You need to keep pressing her NOW for the details of EXACTLY what happened in Mexico while she is still stunned at being caught. And you MUST tell the other husband so that these two dicks from Canada come down here to find you guys waiting for them.
Don't get weak IU Hoosier. And make sure she knows that when she walks out that door the lockes will be changed when she comes home.
As soon as your wife makes a decision one way or the other, her next move will be to call her friend. Get to the other BH before the friend does.
If she is still sitting their...go someplace quiet and tell her friends husband. As stated before, do not tell her...she will warn her friend.
Let her make the decision. What are the emotions she showing? is she crying, regretful or stumped? Has she disclosed what happened yet? As one of the posters said earlier, he is not traveling that far for just a kiss.
Stay strong....you have engaged. Did you give her a time line to decide? I do recommend if you have not, to give her boundaries as to what is or is not a dealbreaker. If she contacts him...is it a deal breaker? if she see's him...writes him....lies to you about the weekend...goes with her friend and lies....etc.... you get the idea. It helps to define the dealbreakers before they occur then to try to define them after she has crossed the line.
Sending support to you.
She told me that this weekend wasn't set in stone and she wasn't sure if she was really going to do it. I told her that was bull and I know she was. She just sat there after I said that.
I just sent the husband a text telling him that he needed to ask his wife about Mexico and everything. I told him to call me after and I would tell him everything I found out to verify what she says, which I'm sure won't be the whole thing.
I did text the other husband the same time I confronted my wife, so she could not warn the other woman, so she can think of excuses.
I'm clapping.
I know you can't hear it, but that's what I'm doing.
Married - 2008

Separated, heading to D
At this stage, I'm pretty much bulletproof.
You handled that shit 1000x better than many of us did.
I asked he if she was sorry and she said "of course she was". All the remorse I got.
What is she going to think about?
She's going to take the night to think about it and she has an appointment with her therapist tomorrow that she just started seeing last week.
So the other guy was just going to drive down from Canada with his buddy and hope the two girls showed up. You need to tell your wife that you are going to get copies of ALL the texts and e mails that went from any of your devices and see what she says.
She STILL has not admitted to you what she did, so if she is not ready to do that you need to file for D asap. You know it takes time to be final but that might knock her off the fence one way or the other so that you do not get jerked around anymore.
That was the sound of IU closing the bakery!
That she really, really, really didn't expect what just happened to happen.
And she's not going to like that one little bit.

However, why are you letting her decide what she wants? That's way too passive in my mind. She's the cheater, the liar.
If you want to give her the night to regroup, fine. But you should tell her tomorrow what your conditions are for YOU staying in the marriage and not filing for divorce. You're the aggrieved party.
Some things to demand: instant transparency on everything, because you can't trust her. NC letter to her friend (and all the friends she went to Mexico with),and the dude that banged her. IC, etc.
If she balks, tell her parents, friends, facebook, everybody that you are getting divorced because your wife cheated on you on a "girls trip" to Mexico and now doesn't want to be married.

Faletau 'unfazed' by transfer speculation
ESPN Staff
January 4, 2013
Toby Faletau's signature is in demand © Getty Images
Dragons forwards coach Rob Appleyard is adamant that Toby Faletau is completely focused on turning out for the Welsh region despite the rumours surrounding his future.
Wales No.8 Faletau has been heavily linked with a big money move to Aviva Premiership side Bath despite his contract having another year to run. Bath have reportedly tabled a six-figure transfer offer for Faletau's services but the Dragons are adamant that their star back-rower is not for sale.
If Faletau, who has 21 caps for Wales, decides to leave then it would be a massive blow for a Dragons side that have already seen the likes of Dan Lydiate, Aled Brew and Luke Charteris opt to play elsewhere. But Appleyard has praised Faletau for his continued professionalism amid all the discussions and rumours concerning where he will play next year.
"I don't think it's fazing him," Applyard told Wales Online. "Toby turns up and trains as hard as anybody, whether he's just come back from an international campaign or whether he's been with us for a few weeks. He's a one-off character without a shadow of a doubt. He's a really good rugby player.
"We can talk about a new line-up set-up, which he's never heard of before and he goes in and delivers it having heard it just once. So he's a very coachable player and listens a lot. But one thing that's on my mind is we wouldn't want to overcoach him so he loses his X-factor. It's almost the way he runs he doesn't care. He runs as though he doesn't even know people are trying to tackle him sometimes. He just seems to run and beat people."
And Appleyard is adamant that the Dragons want to keep Faletau at the region. He added: "We want Toby to stay. We understand it's not always that easy. If you are being offered double or treble your wages, would you take it to move to the south of France? I am sure most people would contemplate it.
"Obviously we want to keep Toby with us. He has got another season with us. It's out of my remit, but I'm sure talks are going on behind the scenes to retain Toby's services. But, at the end of the day, it comes down to what the individual wants to do."

Brian helped provide music for both our ceremony as well as our reception. He was professional and did an excellent job with both events. He worked hard to make everything match up with my vision of our day and it all turned out perfect. I would definitely recommend using Snyder Entertainment for your event!

Had a great time with Snyder Entertainment at our wedding! They were great about doing everything we wanted and really kept the party going. Plus, we had a ton of fun with the photobooth!

I can not say enough great things about Brad at Snyder Entertainment! He was very helpful with suggestions leading up to the wedding and then as expected was an amazing DJ. His timing was great on the songs to play, he was a great announcer, he energized everyone, and just made the reception so much fun. On top of that he created a short video of the day for us which was soooo wonderful to have! I've watched it a hundred times and love to see all the sweet and hilarious moments he captured from the night. THANK YOU SO MUCH BRAD!!

Brian was absolutely phenomenal!! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ/MC. His ability to adapt to changes is what makes him so special. He was so very accommodating and professional. I will recommend Snyder Entertainment over and over again. Thank you, Brian!

Brian was the perfect DJ for a wedding reception. He worked with my daughter to get her favorites songs and genres. His audio setup was just right. His music choice and progression was exceptional - for most of the reception, 3/4 of the people were up on the dance floor. He was the perfect MC - understated throughout the reception, guiding us through all of the traditional dances and speeches and maintaining the focus on the bridal couple. His photo booth was a really fun addition. A duplicate photo strip was added to a scrapbook with comments that really provided a very nice memory of the day. I would absolutely recommend him to DJ any event.

Bradley Ford helped us coordinate our wedding by helping us come up with the timeline, gave us professional advice anytime we needed him, was also our DJ, and he was FUN to work with!!!

Brad Ford saved the wedding!! He took any of our ideas/songs/mixes and did a great job. He even did a go-pro video that we were not expecting which was wonderful!

Brad did such an amazing job at our wedding. From the get go, he was organized and very helpful. He took time to meet with us beforehand to discuss the vibe we wanted at the wedding. He kept the entertainment going throughout the whole wedding and made it all flow SO well. Not only that, he was there making me laugh and get rid of my nerves right before I walked down the isle. He was just always there and willing to help. PLUS he made an incredible gopro video of the wedding. I can't recommend him enough to all future brides!

Brian, I just want to thank you for doing such an outstanding job at our daughter's wedding. You really made the reception flow easily and everyone had such a great time. Even the grandparents were out dancing! We loved your MC skills for sure. We had several people from the reception compliment you! Even your Twitter selfie impressed the younger generation for sure. I just want to make sure we passed these compliments onto you! We couldn't have asked for anyone or anything better!
Thank you for making this wedding such a memorable event!

I researched multiple vendors for the entertainment at my wedding reception. Snyder Entertainment immediately struck me as the most professional and most organized. I really feel they give you a great service at a fair price. Working with them and communicating what we wanted for our wedding was very easy with Snyder. I am very happy that I chose to hire Snyder Entertainment for our wedding. Our reception was a ton of fun due in large part to the excellent lighting, DJ services, and overall quality of work.

Brian was such a pleasure to work with, everything was perfect! I've been to some weddings where the DJ can talk too much on the mic, but Brian was in the background enough to let the party center solely on the wedding celebration, while still being available and involved. Our reception was so much fun with wonderful music that kept everyone dancing all night!

Brian was very easy to work with and was very accommodating! I had a designer send a file to him and he easily uploaded to use for lighting on dance floor/wall. The lighting in the room looked so great and all my guests were very impressed! I would definitely recommend this company to any bride!

Hardware Reserved Memory Issue (2.5gb Usable out of 8gb) WIN 7 32bit
Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz, 3000 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)
BIOS Version/Date: Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG, 1/22/2008
Installed Physical Memory (RAM): 8.00 GB
Adapter Description: NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT
Adapter RAM: 512.00 MB (536,870,912 bytes)
Motherboard: nForce 680i SLI SPP/ nForce 680i SLI MCP
Hello I've been searching these forums and all over the web for an answer but have found no solutions. I've got 8gb of DDR2 Ram installed and only 2.5gbs of that is available.
I've attempted to activate PAE but that is no go. I've reinstalled each ram alone so see if it were the sticks themselves and still no good. The only update for the Bios is 5 years old and I had to do a system restore when I attempted to update it. I can't find much info on Nvidia SLI so I'm stumped.
I run with Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit and I do know that a certain percentage will be reserved but 5gbs of ram being held is ridiculous. My video card only takes up 512mb so that doesn't seem to be the issue.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Erriiieeee welcome to SevenForums
The reason you're seeing 2.5GBs is due to your 32-bit OS version of Windows 7 Home Premium . 32-bit OSes dont see anything past 2.5GBs . If you want to see 8GBs you would need 64-bit version of Windows . That would need to be a reinstallation of Windows 7 not an upgrade .
Take a look at the link below to achieve the best solution

Please look at Step 1 and 2 in the above tutorial . If you need a 64-bit version of your Windows 7 Home Premium

Thank you for the prompt reply. I understand that 32bit only see's a certain amount of Ram however I currently have 2 video cards linked up. When I take one of them off then my usable ram jumps up to 2.75gb.
I know 32bit has it's limitations but I think it's max is 4gb rather than 2.5gb. Downloading the 64bit version now.

Did you check to see if your bios is current ?
|My System Specs

I haven't updated it since I've gotten this PC but I haven't been able to find an update for it. My bios is Phoenix Awards 6.0p. Phoenix website just directs me to an application that requires you to buy it in order to find updates and google has turned no results up for one.

Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit
A BIOS update would have to come from the motherboard manufacturer unless this is an OEM board in which you would need to obtain it from them. But that is unlikely to do any good.
A 32 bit OS has a maximum 4 GB address space. But not all of this is available to access RAM as it must be shared with memory mapped hardware which must have priority. The amount of space left varies with the hardware you have but will usually be somewhere between 3 and 3.5 GB, with 3.25 being typical. But it can be less. Sometimes much less. Some older motherboards took the easy way out and simply limited RAM to 2 GB.
If system RAM is used by the video system that value will be further reduced. Subtract .5 GB from 3.25 GB typical case and you have 2.75 GB RAM accessible. So in the typical case you are not far off at all. And your case may not be typical.
The only way to access (nearly) all of the 4 GB RAM is a 64 bit OS. That would of course be reduced if system RAM was used by the video system.
|My System Specs
|28 May 2013
To see if there is a recent BIOS update . Go to the Dells website click on Drivers and Downloads on the bottom of the website under Support. On the next page you could either input the Service Tag number or click on Choose from a list of all Dell products .

The power button is supposed to wake up your phone, and ideally it should work every single time. On Android 4.3, however, that is not necessarily the case. Running the Netflix app seems to invariably cause the device to freeze the next time it is put to sleep. It's an annoying bug, but Googler Dan Morrill swung by a Reddit thread to confirm Google and Netflix are aware of the issue and have "top men" working on it.
Get this, Microsoft has drastically redesigned MSN for Android, introducing a new app to replace the outdated MSN World. I know, that's trippy. Apparently MSN is still a thing. This new release leaves the interface looking somewhat spiffy, as it now shows off tiles that would look at home on a Windows Phone device, yet still looks good mixed with Android's versatile Holo interface. That said, the bottom black toolbar might look crowded on devices with a virtual toolbar, and it gives me the impression that Microsoft figured it could update its Android app with the interface it threw together for the upcoming iOS 7.
In their never-ending quest to bring CyanogenMod to every Android device on the face of the planet (or at least all of them with unlocked bootloaders, modern hardware, and a big user base - not all that many, in fact, forget I mentioned it) the CM team is expanding the 10.1 build to three new devices this weekend. The unlocked international LTE version of the Galaxy S4 (GT-i9505) and Cricket's branded variant both get new nightly builds of the ROM, as does the WiFi-only version of Sony's Xperia Tablet Z.
Syrian Electronic Army, a hacking group responsible for several visible attacks in the last few weeks, has evidently taken control of BSkyB's Sky apps in the Play Store, replacing the promo headers with SEA's logo, and the app descriptions with "Syrian Electronic Army Was Here."
In a tweet earlier, BSkyB's Twitter account (which we now know was also compromised) warned its users to uninstall all Sky apps, as they "were hacked and replaced." Indeed, BSkyB's apk files were replaced by the hacking group.
Wavii, a service that promises to help you "keep up with everything you care about" has been snapped up by Google, according to Tech Crunch, for a sum totaling over $30 Million.
The deal, which signals an end to an apparent acquisition battle between Google and Apple, likely means that Wavii's language processing prowess will be integrated with Google services from the Knowledge Graph all the way down to (perhaps) Google Now.
Facebook has been making numerous changes to its Android apps as of late, thanks to the arrival of Facebook Home. Sometimes, new features also bring "hidden" options – things that may not be quite ready for prime time but can be accessed within the app. Facebook Messenger has one such "feature" tucked away in its emoticon menu: stickers. Big ol' images with goofy faces and cats and other stuff. I'm not entirely sure why this is a thing that anyone wants, but it's there, and you can use these oversized emoticons now.
Today, at a media event in New York, T-Mobile announced that it's finally ready to join the big-boy world of LTE networks. The initial round of activations match up just about perfectly with the earlier leaks. Major cities include Houston, Las Vegas, Washington D.C. and more. The proper 4G network can be used with the new "Uncarrier" plans that just went live a couple days ago.
Here's the full list of launch cities:
The BBC News reader on Android got an update today that should please the pixel poppers among the audience. The app has been optimized to take advantage of Super Mega Ultra dense displays like on the Xperia Z and Droid DNA (to say nothing of the upcoming HTC One and Galaxy S 4). A pile of bugs have been squashed in the new update as well.
Here's the full change log:
Google released an update to the news reader it hasn't abandoned today, adding a bunch of support for audio-centric features. Playlists are now available for editions that contain audio content, and users will be able to play, pause, and jump forward or backward in the playlist. There are even status bar controls added for when audio is playing, so you don't have to sit staring at a blank playback page while listening.

NASA denies cover-up on airline safety
NASA has denied covering up its first survey of airline pilots on safety, despite releasing the figures late on New Year's Eve and in pdf format rather than Excel files, making independent number-crunching more difficult. The National Aviation Operational Monitoring Service talked to 8,000 pilots between April 2001 and December …
Open standards?
It seems odd in this forum to complain about publication in PDF instead of in Excel. Excel is a closed, undocumented format, where PDF (while not completely open) is at least documented and freely usable.
If you need the data in a format that allows easy machine-manipulation, ask for documented XML, ASCII or LISP formats. Or if you want to be able to load directly into a spreadsheet, ask for ODF.
hmm, cheap...
'No product of the NAOMS project, including the survey methodology, the survey responses, and any analysis of the responses, should be viewed or considered at this stage as having been validated'
$11m for that? Nice, I'll do a survey for that kinda money... 'although the views of around 1000 people were taken into account, this may not amount to 1000 people being spoken to, but may refer to 1000 queries to the same person at different points in time'...
Clearly, NASA doesn't believe there is intelligent life on Earth.
"NASA administrator Michael Griffin said the information was not of any interest to travellers. "
As a sometime air passenger, I beg to differ. That is the most idiotic comment of the year (so far).
"Griffin said the agency was not intending to do any more work with the data which was collected to test different methods of gathering data rather than to prove anything about airline safety."
So, they spent $11m just testing how to do a survey? Must be nice to have so much money and nothing to spend it on.
Only a couple of days in and the bullshit has started in earnest already.
Did Hansen do the analysis?
http://www.climateaudit.org/?p=2536 is on NASA Evasion of Quality Control Procedures.
Government Rethink Required?
Let's see - don't scare the public into thinking that air travel is dangerous by covering up this report, but in the mean time, continue scaring the public into thinking that air travel is dangerous by emphasising the terrorist threats, so that we can give everyone a rotten time when they pass through airports.
This is your captain speaking...
...we would like to announce that absolutely nothing is wrong, and that there are no problems whatsoever of any kind.
NASA and Beltway Doublespeak
Clearly NASA has become another Federal agency that is determined to keep anything that might be considered derogatory to the government buried... The survey as released is $11 million worth of doublespeak and obfuscation.
Late Night Larry
"NASA has denied covering up its first survey of airline pilots on safety, despite releasing the figures late on New Year's Eve and in pdf format rather than Excel files, making independent number-crunching more difficult."
Why not just open the PDF in Adobe Acrobat and use the text select tool to copy and paste the text and then paste it into Excel?
