Bulls 'completely outplayed from start' in blowout loss to Rockets

The Bulls were booed at home on Christmas.
It was that kind of night.
After center Joakim Noah took the microphone before tipoff to wish Bulls fans ''Happy holidays and merry Christmas,'' the Houston Rockets and guard James Harden cold-cocked the Bulls with a relentless aggressiveness that had them on tilt all night.
Attacking the basket at every opportunity, the Rockets got the bounces, the breaks, the easy put-backs and dunks, the calls and the free throws. They deserved every bit of it in a 120-97 victory before a sellout crowd of 22,310 at the United Center.
''Completely outplayed, right from the start,'' said Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, whose team has lost by 17 and 23 in its last two games. ''My job is to have them ready, and obviously they weren't ready. That part's on me.''
The Bulls (15-12) and Rockets (15-12) are finding their way with new personnel. The difference Tuesday was that Harden didn't take the holiday off. His attacking style set a tone that the Bulls never even attempted to match until it was too late. The Rockets led 20-10 in the first quarter, 55-34 in the second and 86-51 with 4:58 left in the third quarter.
''Our defense wasn't really good today. Everything was bad. Terrible Christmas,'' Noah said. ''We didn't play with the right edge. Just a real disappointing loss.''
Harden led the Rockets with 26 points and shot 11-for-13 from the line. Jeremy Lin added 20 points on 8-for-12 shooting with 11 assists. Former Bull Omer Asik had 20 points on 9-for-13 shooting and 18 rebounds.
The Rockets shot 56.1 percent (46-for-82) and outrebounded the Bulls 45-31.
''If you don't play with an edge ... that's a heck of an offensive team,'' said Thibodeau, whose team lost back-to-back games by double digits for the first time since Dec. 1 and 3, 2010.
''They scored the ball easily — in transition, the paint, open shots. We didn't get back. When you do that, you're not going to be successful. We can't pick and choose when we come to play.''
Not until the Bulls were down by 35 did they resist. Nate Robinson — scoreless in eight first-half minutes — scored 21 of his 26 points in a 10:54 span as the Bulls cut the Rockets' lead to 100-85 with eight minutes left. But 16 seconds later, Lin drove the lane, scored easily and that was that.
The Bulls' starters were overmatched. Luol Deng, who suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter, scored 14 points on 5-for-14 shooting. Noah (eight points on 3-for-3 shooting, nine rebounds), Carlos Boozer (six points on 3-for-11 shooting) and Kirk Hinrich (four points on 2-for-8 shooting) were overwhelmed by the Rockets' onslaught.
''The whole time they were in attack mode,'' Robinson said. ''It was like [they were] coming downhill and we didn't have any breaks. We didn't build our wall to stop them.
"The whole game we were just looking at them going fast, fast. And it was like, 'Wow.' We'd stop them one time and go down and score, and they'd score right after a make. It's all on us. We've got to do better [Wednesday night against the Pacers]. And we will.''

"We had to bring the Stanley Cup here because this is our community," Justin 'Mr. Game Seven' Williams yelled down from the second floor balcony of the Strand House restaurant to fans who filled Manhattan Beach Boulevard.
"MVP, MVP," the fans yelled back. Williams is the 2014 Stanley Cup playoff MVP.

"It is so great to celebrate in our neck of the woods. This is just awesome. Thank you," added Kings Captain Dustin Brown.
"Party at my house," defenseman Drew Doughty yelled as goalie Jonathan Quick tossed beer cans to the crowd.

"Go Kings, go," the crowd responded.
The Kings' comments to their beach city fans on Wednesday were brief, but heartfelt, like the parade in their honor that began an hour earlier in the parking lot at Redondo Union High School. Captain Dustin Brown led the parade, cradling the Stanley Cup while riding on the roof of a black South Bay police assault vehicle. Each time he raised the cup the crowd erupted in cheeres. Fans lined the parade route four to ten people deep. Brown's teammates followed in the truck beds of 15 Toyota Tundras.

After leaving Redondo High with an escort of police motorcycles and passing in front of city hall, the parade rolled past the Redondo Pier and King Harbor to the Hermosa border, where it turned on to the Hermosa Strand. As the parade exited Hermosa, the players defied predictions that they would make a pitstop at the North End, a favorite Kings' neighborhood bar. Instead, the parade moved briskly up Manhattan Avenue and into downtown Manhattan Beach.

"Today is unbelievable," Jarret Stoll said following the parade. "It's our own backyard. It's people we see every day at restaurants and bars and movie theaters. These are friends of ours. They're our neighbors. To see so many people come out and support us, it's unbelievable."
"It's just so amazing how this community has embraced us," added Anže Kopitar, a native of Slovenia.

Earlier in the day Kings Trevor Lewis and Jake Muzzin had their playoff beards trimmed at Floyds Barber Shop on Pacific Coast Highway in Hermosa. The kids of owners' Tom and Bill O'Brien play in the King's kids hockey program at the Kings training center in El Segundo. The brothers donated proceeds from the day to the Kings charitable foundation.

Several other Kings had their playoff beards trimmed at Hair in downtown Hermosa, though Hair owner Beryl Pierce didn't know which ones. "They're just guys who walk by all the time. They poked their head in and said they needed a trim," Pierce said. ER

Cheng, Ee Meng (2006) Characteristics of WLAN Transmission in an Indoor Environment. Masters thesis, Universiti Putra Malaysia.
This thesis describes the study of a deterministic model for WLAN system in indoor environment. The measurement system consists of a spectrum analyzer and a log-periodic antenna. A computer program has been developed to acquire measured field strength data from the spectrum analyzer by using Agilent VEE and analyzed the data by using MATLAB software. Both line-of-sight (LOS) propagation (empty room or corridor) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation (furnished room) have been investigated. The measured path losses have been compared with deterministic model, namely Geometrical Optics (GO) and Uniform Theory of Diffraction (UTD) with the aid of image theory. The predicted results show good agreement with measurement data for the NLOS environment with absolute mean error ranging between 1.61 dB and 3.07 dB. However, the multiple reflections (third order of multiple reflections estimated the highest order in all cases) and direct ray condition which estimated significant in Instrumentation Laboratory (periodical structural ground) gave poor result when compared with the measured path losses. A typical mean relative error and absolute mean error of direct ray model was found to be within 55.04 % and 7.47 dB, but was further reduced to less than 7.43 % and 0.69 dB after optimization.

Suspended Pakistan fast bowler Mohammad Amir won't pursue an appeal to sport's highest court to overturn his five-year ban, the International Cricket Council said on Thursday.
The ICC e-mailed The Associated Press to say that Amir informed the sport's governing body of his decision last week.
"Mohammad Amir told the ICC last week that he will not be appealing against his five-year ban," an ICC spokesman said.
Amir returned home on Sunday having served half of his six-month prison sentence after being found guilty of spot-fixing in a test against England at Lord's in 2010.
The left-arm paceman hasn't spoken publicly since returning home with his lawyer, Sajida Malik.
Salman Butt and bowler Mohammad Asif were also found guilty on corruption charges and are currently in jail. They have been banned from playing cricket for a minimum of five years.
All three filed appeals to CAS in 2011, but did not request a date for any hearing because they were occupied with a court case in England over corruption charges.
Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Zaka Ashraf said on Thursday that 19-year-old Amir would be considered for a return to international cricket once his ban expires.
"He has so much talent that he could have become a great fast bowler,'' Ashraf told reporters.
"Unfortunately the incident happened in England and ICC banned him for five years. We will definitely consider him once his ban is over.''
Ashraf also promised to involve Amir in various rehabilitation programs which could pave the way for the fast bowler to return to cricket before his ban ends in September 2015, provided the ICC Board allows it.

While ginger certainly has a reputation for being spicy, this organic ginger tea is a bit milder than you might expect, with a nice pungency and a bit of ginger's sweet undertones. Used in China for at least two thousand years as a digestive aid, as well as to relieve nausea associated with motion,* most cultures around the world have acquired fond feelings for gingerboth for its taste and for its soothing properties. We love this warming, spicy tea as a before or after meal treat, and for its ability to promote happy and healthy digestion.*

10 years after introducing 43 Things to the world, we have decided we have met our last goal: completing the incredible experience that has been 43 Things. Please join us in giving one last cheer to all the folks who have shared their goals with the world, as well as all the people who have worked at The Robot Co-op to build this incredible website. We won a Webby Award, published a book, and brought happiness to a lot of people.
Starting today, 43 Things users can export their goals and entries from the site. Starting August 15, we will make the site "read only". 43 Things users will still be able to view the site and export their content, but we won't be taking any new content from users. We hope to leave the site up for folks to see and download their content until the end of the year. Ending on New Year's Eve takes us full circle.
It has been a long ride (one of our original goals was to "build a company that lasts at least 2 years" - we beat that one!) While we wish the site could live on, it has suffered from a number of challenges - changes in how people use the site, the advertising industry, and how search engines view the site. We wish the outcome was different – but we've always been realistic about when our goals are met and when they aren't.
As of today, you will be able to download your goals and entries. See more about that on the FAQ page. Thanks for 10 great years of goal-setting and achieving.

Antibiotic-Resistant Gonorrhea Reported in San Diego: CDC
5 cases among gay or bisexual men highlight need for surveillance, experts say
THURSDAY, May 12 (HealthDay News) -- Five cases of antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea found in San Diego County between August and October 2009 show the need for continued surveillance for such cases, according to a new report from public health officials.
The researchers noted that antibiotic treatment can successfully cure gonorrhea, but drug-resistant strains of the sexually transmitted disease have been found worldwide.
Each year in the United States, more than 700,000 people get new gonorrheal infections, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Treatment with two drugs (dual therapy) is recommended to treat the infection and prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
The five cases documented in the report involved patients with gonorrhea that was resistant to azithromycin, one of the antibiotics in the recommended dual therapy. The patients were all men who had sex with men and who had no known connections to each other.
This suggests that the antibiotic-resistant strains of gonorrhea may be widespread among men who have sex with men in San Diego County, the researchers warned. Continued surveillance is essential for detecting these strains and guiding patient treatment, they added.
Three of the five patients were white, one was black and one was Hispanic. Four were residents of San Diego County and one was a resident of a Midwestern state. The average age of the patients was 29.
The report is published in the May 13 issue of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, published by the CDC.

Mother-in-law of dead bombing suspect sickened by attack
'We know that never really knew Tamerlan Tsarnaev'
NORTH KINGSTOWN, R.I. (AP) -- The mother-in-law of the Boston Marathon bombing suspect killed during a gunbattle with police said Friday her family is sickened by the horror inflicted by the deadly attack.
Judith Russell, whose daughter Katherine was married to Tamerlan Tsarnaev, an ethnic Chechen who came to the U.S. from Russia, read a statement from inside her home in North Kingstown through a partially open doorway.

Handshakes and racism
The framers of the Constitution were mainly concerned with the financial and trade issues arising from Federation and how best to weight the interests of the small States against those of the more populous states in the new federal Parliament. In these and other areas they adapted provisions from the United States Constitution. However, they did not include a Bill of Rights.
— Tony Blackshield and George Williams, Australian Constitutional Law and Theory (Federation Press, 5th Edition, 2010) 125.
Australia's Constitution is distinguished among those of modern democracies in several ways. Most obviously, it is one of the few examples of a Westminster Parliament operating within a federal system, modelling its Lower House of Parliament on the British House of Commons and the Upper House on the American Senate.
The drafters of the Constitution made the amendment process so complicated that proposals to amend it are more likely to fail than to pass. The Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1900 (Imp) has been modified only eight times since it came into force in 1901. As a result, they also managed to preserve two great traditions of the British Empire: handshakes and racism.
Resolving Australia's treaty-making 'democratic deficit'
Australia's treaty-making process completely bypassed the Commonwealth Parliament until the 1960s, when Prime Minister Menzies committed to tabling in both Houses of Parliament treaties that were signed but not yet ratified. Reforms in the 1990s attempted to involve Parliament more, but it has for the most part retained its lame duck status and Australia continues to suffer a democratic deficit.
Negotiating, entering into and ratifying treaties is the prerogative of the Australian Government. The signature of the Foreign Affairs or Trade Minister is a gesture that the Australian Government intends to commit Australia to obligations under international law. When the Government ratifies or accedes to an agreement, it becomes binding on Australia, confirming that Australia will comply with those obligations.
2013 Election roundup
The counting for this year's federal election is well under way, and although the results aren't known yet, Pirate Party Australia did phenomenally well in its first federal election. Currently the polls indicate over 29,000 primary votes nationally (0.31% of the vote with 67% counted), and I predict we will finish at about 50,000 votes total.
Pirate Party Australia competed in four of six Australia states (Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania) fielding two candidates for the Senate in each. On a shoestring budget, we've done incredibly well in my opinion for a first election. For those wanting an explanation of Australia's political system, I've included a summary at the end of this post.
I think the best thing to come out of this for Pirate Party Australia was that we proved founding a party on democracy and transparency works. You can have an open party where decisions are made through debate and consensus-building, where you don't get trapped in vote-hungry deals and instead stick to your principles. I am confident we are in the perfect position to contest the next federal election and many elections to come.
Rights: a balancing act
I believe I am right. For the time being at least, I believe that what I stand for — intellectual property reform, privacy, transparency, civil liberties – is worth standing for. I am fully prepared to accept that I might actually be wrong about some of it. Maybe copyright is just fine as it is, maybe law enforcement agencies do need blanket data retention, and maybe government does need to keep secrets. But, from available evidence, I don't think I am wrong.
When I look at the other side of these debates, at various industry and law enforcement groups, I see a lot of rhetoric, sensationalism, hyperbole and manipulation. A very simplistic example is the slogan "home taping is killing music," circulated by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in the 1980s. This is very easily ridiculed with the argument that music has survived pretty healthily over the past million or so years without copyright.
However, it is quite easy to fall into the same trap of using those tactics, perhaps unknowingly, yourself. Mike Masnick's "The Sky's the Limit" report, for example, has been criticised, and quite frankly for good reason. I wouldn't trust a report sponsored by an industry organisation whose members would directly benefit from a reduction in copyright regulations to be unbiased. It is for such reasons that I have pushed for strict guidelines on what material should be used to support Pirate Party Australia's policies.
But what has all this got to do with rights?
PPI – Painful, Problematic Incompetence
When I joined Pirate Party Australia, I heard about Pirate Parties International (PPI), the umbrella organisation that many Pirate Parties are members of. I was highly interested in its goal of promoting co-operation between Pirate Parties, and initially fully supportive of the organisation.
Over the past twelve months, my view of PPI has gone from being one of enthusiastic support, to one of weariness, and now it has reached total opposition. In this article I will be explaining why I now hold that view. Many Pirates I am in regular contact with know of my disappointment with PPI, and some of the reasons. I felt it was time to compile those reasons into a statement which can be used to support movements within Pirate Party Australia to withdraw from PPI.
Surprising RSC policy brief: how to fix copyright law
Two days ago, the Republican Study Committee published a surprising policy brief titled "Three Myths about Copyright Law and Where to Start to Fix it". I've uploaded a copy here, as others have done on their sites, to make sure it stays available, as it has already been pulled from the RSC website. I'm not going to speculate, as Techdirt have, on the reasons behind the brief disappearing, but I thought it was worth writing something about the contents.
Very rarely do I agree with the Republicans, so I was quite surprised to read this document. Of course, I'm biased against modern copyright law, but even copyright holders who want to maintain the current level of protectionism (and go beyond) must acknowledge the accuracy of the brief.
AFACT Afraid of Pirate Party?
By chance I stumbled across this rather amusing critique of submissions on technological protection measure exceptions by copyright warriors, AFACT. The submissions they critique are from a range of organisations: the Australian Libraries Copyright Committee, the Copyright Advisory Group, Copyright in Cultural Institutions, Universities Australia, and Pirate Party Australia (naturally). All submissions can be found here.
The content of Pirate Party Australia's submission contained arguments in favour of clear exceptions to allow legitimate customers to back up their content, to allow them to format shift across various devices, and to exercise fair dealing rights (similar to fair use in other jurisdictions).
So, what's so funny? Well, first of all, this rather lovely appraisal of our organisation (derp emphasis added):

Chloë Moretz Looks to Join Charlize Theron in Dark Places
Chloë Moretz, at just 16 years old, has already participated in a bevy of thematically grim and/or bleakly titled work — films like Today You Die, The Amityville Horror, Wicked Little Things, Kick-Ass, Texas Killing Fields, Let Me In, Dark Shadows, and the upcoming Carrie remake. It stands to reason she'll sign on to join Charlize Theron in an adaptation of Gillian Flynn's Dark Places. If you've read the novel, Moretz is eyeing the role of Diondra. If you haven't read the novel, Moretz is still eyeing that same role.

Edison International Raises Common Stock Dividend
Edison International (NYSE: EIX) today declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.3375 per share, payable January 31, 2013, to shareholders of record on December 31, 2012. This action increases the annual dividend from $1.30 per share to $1.35 per share.
"We are pleased to announce our ninth consecutive annual increase in our common stock dividend," said Ted Craver, chairman and CEO of Edison International. "We want to begin the process of returning to our target dividend payout ratio of 45 to 55 percent of the earnings of Southern California Edison, and this year's slightly larger increase in our dividend rate is the first step." The company looks to return to this range in steps over time as Southern California Edison's (SCE) capital spending levels moderate from its expected peak in 2013.

The Holy Virgin Mary, a painting done in 1996 by Chris Ofili, a London-based artist of Nigerian descent, is a monumental piece in which paper, oil and glitter and -- oh, yes -- elephant dung have been used to create a meticulous pointillist image of a black Madonna. Elephant dung, sacred to some Nigerians, is a specialty of Ofili's, and works like The Holy Virgin Mary cinched last year's prestigious Turner Prize, given by the venerable Tate Gallery, for the Anglo-African painter. Though most news accounts describe the painting as having been "smeared" with dung, Ofili has actually applied it quite carefully. Interestingly, like Serrano, Ofili was raised as a Roman Catholic.
As was the case the last time, it is a conservative New York Republican who is making political hay by attacking contemporary art. Last time it was former senator Alfonse D'Amato. This time it is New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani, who is following in the footsteps of his old friend and supporter. Giuliani is using the situation as a way to bash the more art-friendly Democrats, and since art is such a weak player in society, it can easily be used as a club.
Giuliani's office has threatened to revoke the lease of the Brooklyn Museum -- a lease, by the way, that dates back to the nineteenth century. The mayor has also threatened to revoke the museum's city funding, to turn off the electricity, and to fire and replace its board of directors. In response, the museum has filed a lawsuit to stop the city.
Whatever the outcome of this current assault on free expression in the fine arts, the art world, like last time, will wind up losing -- and not just in terms of funding. Instead of having a real aesthetic discussion about whether Ofili and the other artists in Sensation are any good, museum professionals, artists and critics have been forced to defend the show as a symbol of freedom. Although this self-censorship is an appropriate response, given the dire straits in which art once again finds itself, it precludes open criticism.
Sadly, the tenor of the times forbids such a luxury.

OLYMPIA – Road crews statewide are gearing up for what could be the biggest snowstorm of winter 2011-2012, with snow expected from the Hood Canal north to Bellingham, south to Vancouver and east to Spokane.
For travelers or non-travelers, that means it's decision time. Staying in? Have a full tank of gas, just in case. Going out? Pack tire chains and a winter car kit and drive for conditions. Those traveling to ski resorts for the long weekend should expect additional delays, with backups common when the snow hits.
Weather forecasts show a storm system moving in from the coast Saturday, with snow and icy conditions expected through the weekend. Snow showers are expected to be especially heavy in the mountains. By Monday, Eastern Washington could have its turn, with wind and blowing snow possible in the Palouse area.
"Maintenance crews are keeping a close eye on the changing weather and have plows and sanders stocked and ready," said Chris Christopher, director of Maintenance Operations for Washington State Department of Transportation. "But we really need drivers' help to plan their route. If you travel, be ready for snow and ice even if the sun's out in your neighborhood. The conditions could change rapidly and the conditions you see out your window could be dramatically different 10 miles down the road."
Travelers can prevent additional delays by driving for conditions. Collisions caused by drivers who are going to fast unprepared for winter weather cause delays for everyone.
Drivers can prepare for snow and ice by checking travel and roadway conditions on the WSDOT website and packing their winter weather supplies, including tire chains.

A friend of mine said she ordered this for her grandmother to make and she said she had it stitched up in no time and sitting on her coffee table and she loves it. And the great thing with this one is you can leave it out even after Christmas is over for the winter time as well.

Eurovision 2004 results 1: Ranking / Winning order 2: Flag and Country 3: Final Points
David D'Or: Press Information
David D'Or is a name that the music world is becoming more and more familiar with. D'Or's ability to fascinate and stun with his remarkably flexible and powerful countertenor voice, while simultaneously conveying a down-to-earth feeling with his pleasingly frank demeanor, is a combination that sends audiences all over the world to their feet time after time.
Israel, in 2002, named David D'Or, "Singer of the Year" as well as bestowing upon him the award for "Best Vocal Performer". While D'Or has yet to release a classical music album (coming soon!), of his six recorded albums, all have gone Platinum and Gold. David's latest Album: "David D'Or and the Philharmonic" (live) was published in Apr. 2003 and received best reviews from all critics.
In November 2003, the IBA, the Israeli TV company, have decided that David D'Or shall represent Israel in the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest.
Among the international orchestras he has performed with are: The Israeli Philharmonic, the Jerusalem Symphony Orchestra, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra, the Rome Philharmonic and the Budapest Philharmonic. D'Or performed with the London Symphony in Trafalgar Square for 55,000 people in 2002. Among the conductors he has worked with are Zubin Mehta, Sergio Comissiona, Gary Bertini and many other Israeli conductors including Rafi Kadishzon, Eli Yafe and Yaron Gotfrid.
Born in Israel to a traditional Jewish family, David D'Or was exposed to singing from an early age, and participated with great interest in the family tradition. In 1986 D'Or served in the Israeli army, enlisted in a military artistic group, and worked closely with Israel's most talented musicians and directors.
At the time of his release from the army, D'Or was invited by the Israeli National Theater "Habima" to be a part of the cast in various performances, among them "Blood Wedding" by García Lorca, directed by Channan Shir; "Cabaret", directed by Jerome Svary; "Tartiff", directed by Robert Stroah, music by Gaya Kenchelli; and "Cry the Beloved Country", music by Kurt Weill. David stayed with the National Theater of Israel for four years.
In 1991, D'Or was accepted into the Jerusalem Academy of Music. During his studies, Zubin Mehta invited him to be his soloist for a tour of Carmina Burana, performed in concert halls all over Israel. David will perform again in Carmina Burana with Zubin Mehta and the Israeli Philharmonic in July 2004.
Not forgetting his strong traditions, D'Or has always been drawn to ethnic music, an interest that led him to produce his first album with the group Natural Choice, comprised of ethnic musicians, in 1995. That same year, David D'Or received an invitation from the Vatican to perform for the Pope. (D'Or has been invited to return to the Vatican in 2003.) His concert integrated original ethnic music with European classics. The concert was a huge success and received numerous reviews in many European newspapers and TV interviews.
Following that concert, David has been invited to many performances throughout Italy, appearing on many TV shows such as Mauricio Constenzo, on Channel 1, and Paulo Limiti, on Channel 2. The Italian press, such as Corriere della Sera and La Repubblica received David very affectionately, and as a result David is often invited to return to Italy.
David has since been touring the USA's major cities as well, such as Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Toledo, New Jersey and Memphis, where he received high praises from the local newspapers.
David tours regularly in Italy, Turkey and most recently Sweden, where he recorded music for a show under the direction of the Swedish National Theater.
In 1997, The Ra'anana Symphony Orchestra commissioned an original work, specially written for David D'Or, called The Children of God. The music is comprised of sentences appearing in 3 world religions - the Jewish, the Moslem and the Christian faiths -, emphasizing the message: 'love your neighbour'. The work was composed by the famous Georgian composer, Josef Bardanashvilly, and consequently opened a greatly successful series of concerts of the orchestra in Israel and throughout the US.
David D'or's concerts are much in demand all over the world and he continues touring and performing in Israel, Europe and the US.
David D'Or's Reviews
Yediot Achronot / Opera (Apr. 2003)
(About David D'Or & The Philharmonic)
"This is the most exciting event of "Different Classics" Guest Program of the Philharmonic, David D'Or, excelled not only with his fantastic counter tenor voice, but also with the musical arrangements of Rafi Kadishzon, who brought this evening to ecstasy. D'Or surprised with his classics such as Agnus Dei / Back, Orfeo, Let Me Cry / Reinaldo, the CD from this performance is really moving, and also includes David's version of Jaques Brel's '20 years love', 'Watch The World Child, 'A Voice From Heaven, and 'Phantom of the Opera' in a most exciting performance. All in all, this is a very moving CD. "
Maariv (about "Cry the Beloved Country) - "D'or's outstanding voice is meant for great parts. His voice and presence embraces the audience, who showed their appreciation by a lengthy standing ovation".
Maariv (about Carmina Burana) - "David D'Or was a charming and outstanding musical swan, his performance was most impressive".
Yediot Achronot (about Carmina Burana) - "David D'Or is a contra tenor with tone, colour and exceptional style well beyond other soloists".
Maariv - (about D'or's albums) "A lonely island in the sea of trade".
Yediot Achronot - (about the albums) "D'or's voice reaches the heights of gods and angels. His singing is pure and full of refined feelings".
Chadashot National Daily - "This singer has a unique and blessed voice."
Maariv - (about David and the Natural Choice album) "The Duet of David and Shlomo is wonderful and stunning. David has a voice from Heaven and Earth".
Washington Post - (about David's USA tour) "D'or's performance was stunning, magnificent and not to be missed!"
"David D'Or": Beautiful production, simply perfect. This singer has down his throat millions of tiny diamonds. The sound is impressive and overall, "David D'Or" is a very good album. "Haa'retz" - Amit Shoham, April 1992.
An angelic timbre in an age in which it seems that a good voice is not particularly necessary to be a singer, David D'Or comes along and reminds anyone who had forgotten that not only can things be different, they need to be different. Simply put, D'Or sings beautifully and knows how to choose songs that fit his unique voice. Not limiting him to a classical repertoire that would satisfy his voice teacher, he performs songs from the world of Rock, Pop and Dance as well.
One has to credit him for fulfilling his mission with bravura; his voice on stage sounds as good and convincing as it does in the recording studio.
The wide variety of styles that he incorporates in his music, along with his superb vocal ability, allows him to appeal to adults and youths alike.
22.10.93 - "GLOBUS" , Yoram Bolem
In 1991, David D'Or released his first album "David D'Or" which produced hits that included "Yad Anuga" (Gentle Hand) and Kol MeHaShamayim" (Voice from Heaven). Yad Anuga reached number three in the most frequently played charts in Great Britain.
In 1993, David released his album "Begovah Mishtane" (At Varying Altitude). Both albums went gold.
The collaboration with the ethnic group "Habrira Hativit" in 1995 for a most successful soulful show was followed by a record produced together "David & Shlomo".
(About Carmina Burana) - "David D'Or went to the unheard-of lengths of memorizing his one solo "Olim Lacus Colueram" the song of the roasted swan (???), and avoided the usual strangulated sound by singing its highest passages in a sweet falsetto. - "Music Review" by Judith Green - Special for the Sun.
L'abbazia cistercense apre per la prima volta le porte ad un concerto, stasera, con l'israeliano David D'Or - Una voce biance canta a Casamari.

Concert "Over Four Octaves". Israeli Sephardic Vocalist David D'Or and his band. M10- 1600
A musical journey from the baroque to liturgical classical - from both the Ashkenazi and Sephardic traditions - to ethnic music of our time.
David D´Or is a versatile singer. His phenomenal voice has a range of four octaves.
D'Or is schooled in classical singing and has performed with world famous conductors (such as Zubin Mehta, Gary Bertini and Sergiu Comissiona) and orchestras (Rome Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Philharmonic Orchestras of Israel, London and Baltimore). D'Or has performed all over the world, including liturgical festivals, and has a standing invitation to sing in the Vatican. He received five Han platinum-records, among them his latest album "Baneshama" (Into the soul). Recently, he was awarded the Tamuz prize (Israeli TV's greatest music award) as Singer of the Year.
The Asian Age, India says: "The audience was held spellbound by the artist who managed to prove that music is indeed a bond that reaches beyond language and culture."

SONIC Drive-In To Open Franchise Location With Wyandotte Nation In Missouri
As SONIC (NASDAQ: SONC) develops new franchises across the country as part of an initiative to expand into rural markets, the company has reached an agreement with the Wyandotte Nation, an Oklahoma-based Native American tribe, to open its first SONIC Drive-In in Seneca, Mo.
"The Wyandotte Nation brings an appetite and acumen for operating businesses with high consumer appeal that create new jobs and stimulate business growth. They know the community desires the SONIC experience, and with our unit economics, SONIC is the perfect business opportunity," said Cliff Hudson, chairman, chief executive officer and president of Sonic Corp. "We also feel a personal connection because both SONIC and the Wyandotte Nation have their roots in Oklahoma. Native American tribes represent a very important part of our community here in the heartland, a significant business driver in our region and a contributor to economic activity and job creation nationwide."
"This marks the first development agreement with a Native American tribe for the SONIC system," said Bob Franke, senior vice president of franchise sales and international development for Sonic. "We're excited about the potential to support economic development in the community and hope success with the Wyandotte Nation serves as a model for others."
The new SONIC Drive-In is slated to be built and open for business at 2314 Cherokee Ave. by fall 2013, adding to a portfolio of small businesses developed by the Wyandotte Nation. These businesses span multiple industries including food service, telecommunications, information technology, precision manufacturing and entertainment."We have looked at several concepts. What eventually brought us to SONIC was the opportunity to become part of a very recognizable brand," said Kelly Carpino, chief executive officer of the Wyandotte Tribe of Oklahoma. "The effectiveness of SONIC's media and promotional strategy along with an amazing product line drew our attention to the SONIC franchise. The decision was solidified by SONIC's new small building prototype that is a perfect fit for smaller, secondary markets within SONIC's core market."

Neural Signatures of Autism
PNAS, Kaiser, Hudack, Schultz, Lee, Cheung, Berken, Deen, Pitskel, Sugrue, Voos, Saulnier, Ventola, Wolf, Klin, Vander Wyk, Pelphrey
Year Published:
These findings of this study hold far-reaching implications for our understanding of the neural systems underlying autism. Using FMRI to record the biological motion of children with autism spectrum disorder, unaffected siblings of children with ASD, and typically developing children, the study reveals three types of neural signatures: The study finds distinct brain responses to biological motion exhibited by typical developing children and unaffected siblings. This finding is particularly striking given the identical behavioral nature of these two groups.

You need to realize when you try the argument you ran up the flagpole in the manner that you did, claiming it's going to take manhours that you're also intrinsically running the second item up there unless you qualified it like you did just now with your response- which isn't a strawman and it was a valid response until you qualified it.2. Never have i said this or have even dreamed of such.
You seem to think it's a bigger deal than it is. In truth, it's not so big a deal if you're coding clean to begin with- and much less so if you're targeting something intrinsically similar or identical to a Linux desktop. Most stuff we're arguing over has no good reason other than they just don't have sales figures to know the market enough to publish a title.

YES! With 8,666 words on 1.5 spaced pages my friends and I have finally reached goal number 3!
Valzar has written 6 entries about this goal
It's funny how, once you get started, the story gets addicting. Whether for the writing that you can't wait to get a chance to add to, or for the others that ask me when I enter the classroom, "Have you written another chapter?" or "Can I PLEASE read your story?"
I have about 7500 words, which is an accomplishment for my friend and me. The whole story has been written through e-mails, so there have been delays, but things are starting to click now.
I have typed over 60 pages and hand-drawn 2 of my multiple characters. It has taken me seemingly forever because I have gone over and over the story countless times adding details, better word choices, and sometimes making changes that completely change my plot. All of these have been for the better, so I am glad I've done it. All the distractions! I have great support though. My teacher keeps urging me on. The fact that she really wants to see it published pushes me on. Even the guy in my class that hates books is hooked on my story. I bring it in every day so my fellow writer, and friends, can read it. I can't believe I'm not bored yet! Normally I get 10 pages or so done and I lose interest. I am surprised.
Please tell me how you like this. I'm up to 35 pages so far and I want to continue it. I would just like some creative criticism. Well here it is:
I stalked through the grass covered in little spheres of dew. They clung to my fur like fleas. Spring was arriving, but the breeze still brought the bitterly cold air down from the mountains. As I walked I thought about all of the terrible things that had happened in my destroyed past. Tears streamed down my face. The wind whispered reassuring words to me, but it did not calm me as it was attempting.
I knew that before long I would arrive at that bare hill, my safe-haven. Without consciously realizing it I stopped at the grassy foot of the hill. I picked my way carefully up the slope, being sure not to step wrongly. Once at the top I sat and closed my watery eyes. My tears trickled down my face and splattered on the ground leaving little wet spots dotting it. I sadly opened my eyes.
Finally the sun managed to breach the horizon, its gentle rays bravely poking out above the treetops. The sun shone through the nearby trees casting streaks of mist across my valley.
The beautiful voices of the birds were singing their unique song. The sweet melody seeped throughout the plains and the surrounding forest. All around me the green feathers of the woodbirds flitted in and out of their underground burrows. Insects and shiny, black beetles were clamped tightly in their beaks.
Sea birds swam in their enormous, blue ocean of a sky. Their quivers and bows were attached firmly to their backs. Feathered headbands were slipped over the heads of the warriors, while a colossal headdress decorated the head of the chief.
I decided for today I would try to forget my past. My parents were tortured in front of my eyes. Their pleads echoed in my head. It's not right to witness a dreadful deed like that. I had accepted it long ago. Death follows me, and I deal with it.
I stared at the forest's edge. They would come soon, and I knew it. A sleek scaled head peered out through the trees. After the creature was sure that the coast was clear he stepped into the open along with two others.
Magnificent creatures they were, scalepelts, magnificent. They had shiny black scales covering their heads, necks, and arms, but their bodies were covered in a shaggy coating of fur.
They pulled little handmade flutes out of their sling packs. The flutes were brought to their scaly lips, and they began to play. The tune they played coincided perfectly with the birds' song. When one quit playing and began to sing, I sung silently along.
"Down toward the sea thy evil is gone. Down by the pond thy evil is depart. Thy songs we sing are sung while free. Thy creatures that live sing 'long with me. Oh, thy evil has left, as we're free once more. And safely we'll be everlastingly free. Thy evil is no more…" the scalepelt sang in a perfect voice.
I turned my back to the scalepelts and began to walk back to Meadow Rock. I looked back once more at the hill and the grassy field. I noticed a weasel creeping into a burrow. A loud screech ended the song of harmony between the scalepelts and the birds.
I turned away again. I hate this curse of death. I can't be around any living thing; with my luck they'd die right under my nose, just as the chick in the burrow did. For now I've decided to live by myself. It's lonely, but I cannot hurt anyone. Now you see why I say death follows me.
My old book got too repetitive and boring sadly I gave up on my 78 page story and began again. Here it is:
Paws, Claws, and Traitors
I stalked through the dew-wet grass as the sun was about to clear the horizon. Before long I would come to that bare hill. As I walked I thought about how my life had gone wrong. I had felt like a sliver of grass being blown uncontrollably by winds of cruelty. Now after all that, I can't believe I am happy. The wind rustled my fur, whispering meaningless words to me, but it did not calm me as it was trying to do. Without consciously realizing it I stopped atop the hill and closed my eyes, just as I have every morning for over a year. The sun touched my ears and warmed my fur, its gentle rays calming my scarred, restless soul. I heard beautiful voices of birds singing their songs. The sweet melody hung in the air for long lengths of time. I opened my eyes and saw the green feathers of the wood birds flitting in and out of dugout burrows with worms and insects clamped in their beaks. Seabirds swam in their ocean of a sky, twirling, flipping, twisting, and soaring. If only I could be that carefree. Their perfect show of style and skill was mind-blowing. For today I would let myself wander and forget my past. As if anything would matter at the end of this. I'd watched my parents die, their pleads still echo in my head. Death seems to follow me wherever I go. I try to stay away from others because I am afraid fatal things will come upon them. For now I'll live alone. Just as I was about to leave a weasel swept into a burrow yards away. A screech ended the wood bird song. Now you see why I say death follows me.
Valzar has gotten 2 cheers on this goal.

Our Texas family decided to take on hail damage to automobiles. 5 years later, even we say, wow. The protection system is more effective than we could ever hoped it would be. It continues to surprise us in what it's capable of.
High Performance Alerting and Forecasting plus High Performance Physical Protection.
Insurance companies love what we've done.
We get inquires daily from hail plagued countries around the world. Australia, South Africa, Russia, Germany, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Slovenia, Poland....
This is story of science and practical technology.
A story of invention and entrepreneurship.
A story of increasing intensity of storms, whatever the reason may be.
A story of automobiles being more susceptible to damage due to necessary manufacturing changes to meet higher fuel economy.
It's a story we're honored to be a part of.
It's hasn't been easy, but we wouldn't trade the experience for anything.
