Home Rule Party of Hawaii

As soon as the United States annexed the Hawaiian Islands and established the Territory of Hawaii, native Hawaiians became worried that both the Democratic Party of Hawai'i and Hawai'i Republican Party were incapable of representing them. In 1900, native Hawaiians and their supporters created the Hawaiian Independent Party (later renamed the Independent Home Rule Party).
On June 6, 1900, Robert Wilcox, upon his return from the mainland advocating for native Hawaiian rights in the Organic Act, spoke to a rally sponsored by Hui Aloha ʻĀina and Hui Kalaiʻāina, the two main Hawaiian political clubs. In his speech, he said, "The question of the restoration of the Monarchy is gone from us forever. We are now a people, however, who can vote. You all know we have two-thirds of the votes in this country." He also advised against racial loyalties, saying, "We are all Americans. We should not consider personality." On June 7, 1900, the Hawaiian Independent Party was established, its motto being, "Equal Rights for the People". Despite its motto, and Wilcox's sentiments, it would remain a racially based party.
Several members of the House of Kalākaua and House of Kawānanakoa became involved in the party. In the first election in 1900 the ruling Republican Party (formerly the Reform Party) misjudged the voting demographics under the territorialship, though the new government excluded Asians, women, and other minorities, it allowed more people to become eligible voters, swinging the voting majority toward Native Hawaiians. The Home Rule Party succeeded on a nationalist platform in becoming the majority party in the Territorial Senate. In the Territorial House of Representatives, the Home Rule party gained a plurality, but importantly not a majority, of the seats.[1] They sent Robert William Wilcox to represent the territory in the United States Congress. On November 11, 1900, the Independent Home Rule Party was formally established, and the two anti-annexation groups that formed it, Hui Aloha ʻĀina and Hui Kālaiʻāina, were officially dissolved.
As a newly elected delegate from Hawaii, Wilcox proved to be fairly ineffective. On the floor of the United States House of Representatives, Wilcox was challenged by his poor command of the English language, and his lack of alignment with either of the main parties (Democrat and Republican). Although upon his election, he took a more moderate tone, the Home Rule Party proved to be obstructionist and was blamed for a distinct lack of progress in the Territorial legislature. One particular political miscalculation of note was Wilcox's support of the so-called leper bill, which cost him a great deal of support amongst his native Hawaiian base.
The Home Rule Party proved to be ineffective in the Territorial Legislature. During the period that they controlled both chambers of the legislature, chaos ensued.[citation needed] They refused to speak English and debated vehemently in the Hawaiian language. They attempted to pass bills granting blanket amnesties to native Hawaiian prisoners, tried to grant physician licenses to kahuna and tried to lower the US$3 tax on female dogs — a delicacy for some.
On July 10, 1902, Prince Kuhio split from the Home Rule Party, walking out of its convention along with nearly half of the delegates there. By September 1, 1902, Kuhio decided to join the Republican Party, was nominated as their candidate for Congress, and dramatically altered the political landscape. Election day, November 4, 1902, proved to be devastating to the Home Rule Party. Republicans won 26 legislative seats, the Home Rulers 9, and the Democrats one.
After another decade of election losses, the Home Rule Party was disbanded after the elections of 1912.
Aloha Aina Party[edit]
In 1997 the Aloha Aina Party of Hawaii was established by UH dance instructor Vickie Holt Takamine as a putative reestablishment of the Home Rule Party. The party philosophy is Conservationism and nationalism.

Last week came word that the co-founder and former artistic director of the Dallas Opera, Nicola Rescigno, had died at the age of 92.
In honor of the gay conductor — who held the baton there from the first opera more than 50 years ago until his departure in 1990 — the company is dedicating its final season at Fair Park to Rescigno. (Photo courtesy Dallas Opera.)

Cathedral of the Sea (2006)
by Ildefonso Falcones
Compact | Rate recommendations
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Engrossing tale of two childhood friends, during the time of the inquisition. One, outrunning his hidden family history, grows from being a dockworker to one of the richest men in town. The other, an orphan, becomes an adopted brother, eventually becoming a priest. The two lives are intertwined, along with the building of the cathedral. The book covers a long period of time, but held my interest throughout.
A very enjoyable read. I would compare this to Pillars of the Earth but it's not quite as good. It's definitely not heavy reading but don't let that put you off. After all a good story is a good story, you either enjoy a book or you don't. If you're a fan of literature set in mediaeval times or Ken Follett's [b:The Pillars of the Earth|5043|The Pillars of the Earth|Ken Follett|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165517379s/5043.jpg|3359698] I would highly recommend it and it's a definite 'must read' for anyone who's living in Barcelona, like myself.
First novel of Ildefonso Falcones, it tells the story and adventures of a servant during the Medium Age. His life will involve a lot of turning points during the story.
Great story that keeps you interested.
I enjoyed this book, a doorstopper but a page-turner. The setting was 14th century Catalonia and backdrop was the construction of a cathedral [Santa Maria del Mar] by the workingmen of Barcelona over a period of decades. The cathedral still exists today in the Ribera district of Barcelona: http://catholicbarcelona.com/2013/11/... and is a gorgeous example of the Gothic style. This church serves as framework for the main plot, concerning the Estanyol family.
To escape brutal serfdom, the father, Bernat, flees his cruel lord. With his small son, Arnau, he reaches Barcelona and stays with his sister and her family until, after a year and a day, father and son are free. The novel recounts their fortunes. Arnau befriends a lonely boy, Joan. Bernat 'adopts' Joan as his son and the two boys become as close as brothers. After Bernat dies, Arnau becomes one of the bastaixos, who load and unload merchant ships. More importantly, they carry heavy stones on their backs to build the church. Years pass in which Arnau falls into lust, is married [twice; first wife dies of plague], rises from humble beginnings to nobility and public office. He even fights in war to defend Catalonia. This war is known in Spanish history as the 'War of the Two Peters' [Guerra de los Dos Pedros]. Out of Arnau's deep friendships with a Jew and a Moor, he becomes a well-known moneylender. Then he is denounced to the Inquisition. What will be the attitude of Joan, who has become a Dominican friar and an inquisitor himself, towards Arnau? Joan is torn between his religious duty and his love for his brother.
I enjoyed the novel and could hardly put it down. I don't know if this was just the translation: but the writing seemed quite ordinary, nothing outstanding. It seemed like there was too much coincidence and sometimes the story fell into melodrama. Arnau was engaging, but he did seem too good to be true. All classes of people were represented. Battle scenes were well done. King Pedro the Cruel of Castille did actually try to invade Barcelona, as written in Pedro IV of Aragón aka Pedro III of Catalonia's Crónica. The sea battle was also described there. I learned something about that period of history and the socioeconomic conditions, when Spain consisted of individual kingdoms. In the author's note, he states the laws he used in the novel came from actual legal treatises of that time

Arnau Estanyol arrives in Barcelona and joins the powerful guild of stone-workers building the magnificent cathedral of Santa Maria del Mar, while his adoptive brother Joan studies to become a priest. As Arnau prospers, he secretly falls in love with a forbidden woman. When he is betrayed and hauled before the Inquisitor, he finds himself face-to-face with his own brother. Will he lose his life just as his beloved cathedral is finally completed, or will his brother spare him?

this reminds me of this one time when I was about 19 I had bought a box of gobstoppers at the corner store on my way home from the mall (cause I live like a six minute walk from the mall) and I ate some of them and then after a few minutes I had had enough and was comming up to a park that I could use as a short cut home bycutting across it. so I decided to cut through and about half way through I noticed some kids who lived directly across the street from me were playing in the park so I figured they might like the rest of the candy so I said "hey anon 1, hey anon 2 here's some candy just for you !" so they recognize m and run over for free candy I had it over every things all cool ,then suddenly thier mother start squaking "Pedophile !! get away from the chlidren !" and running in my direction so I do a quick look behind me to see who she is talking about.Then seeing no one around it hit me she was talking about me !, so she come right up clos to me basically putting her nose in my eye and says" WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE AUDLTS AREN'T ALLOWED IN THIS PARK, YOUR NOT FROM AROUND HERE WHERE DO YOU LIVE ?, WHY DID YOU SPEAK TO THE CHILDREN ?!!, WHAT DID YOU TELL THEM ? DID YOU GIVE THEM POISION CANDY ?! so I'm like woah woah woah, did you just call me a pedophile and imply men only walk through parks to abduct and rape children ? also this is a public park open to everyone not just the people you want here. also I don't know why you don't recognize me we have been neighbors for 7 years and we have met at least 6 differnt times .why the hell would you think I would poision candy eat it myself and then give the rest to children that's retarded, and finally if I wanted to rape your sons don't you think it would be more logical for me to have done it one of the multiple times you sent one of them to borrow a cup of sugar from my house at like 10 pm ?

Sega is to publish a newly announced Double Fine game called The Cave.
Set for a digital release on consoles and PC in early 2013, it's described by Sega as an "odd and compelling" adventure game.
The publisher said: "If you enjoy rappelling, spelunking and dark rocky caverns then be prepared to be disappointed! And then intrigued. And then AMAZED. And then disappointed again, but only for a minute. Then relieved, amused, bewildered, excited, and satisfied. In that order.
"Your first clue that The Cave is a place like no other will come just after you assemble your team of three unlikely adventurers - each with their own unique personalities and skills - and stumble across a subterranean amusement park and a medieval castle, not to mention a fully armed and ready to launch nuclear-tipped ICBM."
Double Fine's Ron Gilbert said: "The concept of The Cave has been bouncing around in my head for many, many years, and then the little voices that tell me to do things said it was time to make the game. I'm thrilled to be working with amazingly talented folks at Double Fine and ecstatic that the team at Sega believes in adventure games and quirky ideas."
Sega's senior VP of digital business Haruki Satomi added: "As Sega continues to expand our digital gaming catalogue, we've put a lot of effort into finding truly original experiences we can help bring to life. Both Ron and the team at Double Fine are experienced and deeply creative, and we value the chance to work with them on The Cave."

Drawing the Global Colour Line
White Men's Countries and the International Challenge of Racial Equality
Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreIn 1900 W. E. B. DuBois prophesied that the colour line would be the key problem of the twentieth-century and he later identified one of its key dynamics: the new religion of whiteness that was sweeping the world. Whereas most historians have confined their studies of race-relations to a national framework, this book, first published in 2008, studies the transnational circulation of people and ideas, racial knowledge and technologies that under-pinned the construction of self-styled white men's countries from South Africa, to North America and Australasia. Marilyn Lake and Henry Reynolds show how in the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century these countries worked in solidarity to exclude those they defined as not-white, actions that provoked a long international struggle for racial equality. Their findings make clear the centrality of struggles around mobility and sovereignty to modern formulations of both race and human rights. less

Reliv Kalogris Foundation Raises $60,000 During Reliv International's 22nd Annual Conference
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- The Reliv Kalogris Foundation, the charitable arm of Reliv International, Inc., raised more than $60,000 during the company's international conference held here Aug. 12-14.
More than $40,000 of the total funds raised during the conference was raised at the foundation's fourth annual "Walk for the Mission" on Aug. 14. This year, more than 2,000 Reliv independent distributors participated in the walk.
Other cash donations and the proceeds of a Kalogris Foundation video sold during the conference brought in an additional $20,000 for the foundation, making a total of more than $60,000 for the three-day period.
The Reliv Kalogris Foundation provides free nutritional supplements to more than 42,000 people through more than 270 feeding programs in the United States and nine other countries.Proceeds from the "Walk for the Mission" and other annual conference activities are used to fund special projects to aid the foundation's feeding programs. In the past three years, the Reliv Foundation has built four combination feeding centers and classrooms using funds raised by the walk events. Two of the centers are in the Philippines and two are in Haiti. "In the last four years, we have raised $350,000 for the Reliv Foundation through our mission walk and related activities," said R. Scott Montgomery, chairman of the foundation. "We are blown away by the generosity of Reliv distributors," he added. Since its founding in 1995, the Reliv Foundation has distributed more than $23 million in nutritional supplements to malnourished individuals throughout the world. Thousands of distributors from Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico and the United States attended Reliv's 2010 international conference. This year's celebration was marked by recognition of accomplishments by Reliv's independent distributors during the last 12 months, along with training, education and motivational activities.

Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Sunday announced that the State law commission would soon be revived.
Addressing advocates from across the State, Mr. Chouhan announced several sops for legal professionals during an "advocates panchayat" (dialogue forum for advocates) at his residence.
These include an assistance of Rs. 12,000 (in a lump sum) to new entrants in the legal profession in order to help them start practice and set up their offices.
The "advocates panchayat" was one in a series of similar panchayats for various groups of citizens hosted by Mr. Chouhan at his residence throughout the year.
The Chief Minister has already held such panchayats (dialogue forums) for domestic workers, students, senior citizens and farmers.
Agreeing in principle to enact the Advocates' Protection Act, Mr. Chouhan said the opinion of legal experts would be sought in the matter. The government would also seek legal opinion for raising the fee for appeals in cases of motor vehicle accidents.
Minister for Law Dr. Narottam Mishra and state BJP president Prabhat Jha were also present on the occasion.
Mr. Chouhan said advocates would now be represented in the revenue board. Further, in case of death of an advocate, a financial assistance of Rs. one lakh would be provided to their families.
As the Bar Council would contribute another Rs. one lakh, the bereaved families would have Rs. two lakh with them in their time of need, said Mr. Chouhan.
He also announced the creation of a fund for the treatment of advocates suffering from serious diseases.
The other sops announced by the CM at the panchayat include enrichment of libraries at the tehsil level, enhanced honourarium for law officials and government pleaders, provision of land at nominal rates to bar council associations and subsidizing of power bills of bar council offices.

do you have mac or pc? have you done an OTA update?
(05 Feb, 04:26) daniel664
I've got pc (window vista which it sucks) and you mean my iTunes is in the latest version? If so, nope, i haven't done the latest update.

I am having the same problem. I restored my iPhone to an older backup I had. I ran all the steps but still nothing in the end. It says modifying rootfs and then the evasi0n7 is done and the app closes. Nothing after that, and I am just stuck with evasion app on my iPhone and no Cydia. When I saw some videos online it seems there is a last reboot which didn't happen in my case. With the above comment by Mark, do you mean I just backup my iPhone with evasion installed ? And then restore it to the same backup version. (So that any over the air updates do not exist ?) Or should I remove evasion app and then take a backup and restore as above ?
(05 Feb, 06:29) Chaitz
Also can you please elaborate on step 3 ? Setup as a new device ?
(05 Feb, 07:32) Chaitz
Err. You see the pic in the post? Please tell me you can't see the pic. Did you read the posted instructions? 1 means you do that first, then 2 you do that next and so on.

Very funny justinred ! (Sarcasm) - in case u don't get it :)
(05 Feb, 08:42) Chaitz
Thanks Mark but the above solution doesn't work in my case at least.
I think evasion doesn't finish its run as it says modifying rootfs and then the application dies. Any one has faced similar issue ? Or have any answers?
Tried it twice and did a reboot and tried again , no luck.
(05 Feb, 09:18) Chaitz
try another system ( computer ) @chaitz
(05 Feb, 12:14) Mark Hack ♦
@Chaitz Restore from backup is not the same as restore iPhone/iPad/iPod firmware. Look and understand the instructions that @Mark Hack posted.
(05 Feb, 19:37) justinred ♦
This WORKS. Restore the phone to factory default, re-run the Evasi0n tool and voila! No more install disappearing and no Cydia showing up. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the advice!!!
answered 05 Feb, 10:46
Patwatson , did you Settings-> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings or did you do Erase All Content and Settings ? Just trying to find the exact options.
(05 Feb, 10:56) Chaitz
Neither; I did the "Restore iPhone" from the iTunes screen. That does the same thing (and more) than going into the phone and erasing the settings by hand. I tried that early on, and tried reinstalling evasi0n and it didn't work. Doing the restore to factory defaults from the iTunes interface and then running evasi0n worked the first time.

Family Circle: The Boudins and the Aristocracy of the Left (Paperback)
Not currently shipping from publisher – Subject to future availability
When Kathy Boudin was arrested in 1981 after a botched armed robbery and shootout that left a Brinks guard and two policemen dead, she ended a decade living underground as part of the radical Weathermen underground; she would spend the next 22 years in Bedford Hills prison. In Family Circle, Boudin's former classmate Susan Braudy vividly re-creates the radicalization of this intelligent, privileged young woman who came from one of the most prominent liberal intellectual families in America. She illuminates Boudin's relationship with her parents --and particularly with her father Leonard, a famous leftist lawyer--and shows how Kathy, swept up in the ferment of the late 1960s, moved further and further from the Old Left ideals they embodied.
Based on extensive interviews, court documents, and Boudin family papers, Family Circle is both a rich biography of a family and a intimate window into a turbulent and fascinating time.
About the Author
Susan Braudy was born in Philadelphia and was educated at Bryn Mawr, the University of Pennsylvania, and Yale. She has written for many magazines, including the New York Times, Newsweek, and The Atlantic Monthly. She is the author of four previous books, among them This Crazy Thing Called Love. She lives in New York City.
Praise for Family Circle: The Boudins and the Aristocracy of the Left…

"Tough-minded, honest, and thoroughly absorbing." --The New Republic
"The tensions, conflicts, and eventual downfall of a seemingly confident dynasty of radical tinkers and super-achievers . . . give Susan Braudy's Family Circle its stunning power. . . . As Braudy tells it, the story attains the epic stature of a genuine American tragedy." --The Women's Review of Books
"Fascinating . . . Braudy, who knew Kathy growing up, delves deeply into her family's crippling psychological games." –People
"Rethinks what makes a radical tick." --New York Daily News

Variance settlement reached
Date: May 11, 2009
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
The Longboat Key Town Commission approved a settlement agreement at its Monday, May 4 regular meeting that allows Key property owner Peter Swain to build a home closer to the Gulf of Mexico.
Swain appealed a decision by the Zoning Board of Adjustment to deny him an amended variance in late 2007, which would have allowed him to build no closer than 68-feet landward of the Erosion Control Line at 2913 Gulf of Mexico Drive. Town code states that homes should not be built no closer than 150-feet from the Erosion Control Line, unless an undue hardship exists on the property.
While several properties on the Key are too small to comply with the town's requirement and are granted variances, the zoning board did not believe Swain had a hardship.
The commission, in a 4-3 vote, begrudgingly granted Swain a variance that 73-feet, six inches from the control line at the north lot line and 70-feet, two inches from the control line's southern lot line. The majority of the commission believed it was better to grant an amended variance than pursue the case and accrue further legal fees.

Tips on landscaping the eco way
We're on the cusp of the season change: Spring is in the air and green will be on your lawn soon, too. But you can keep your grass green and be eco-friendly, too, by integrating these experts' advice for your best (and healthiest!) yard yet.
Living the Good Life
You've probably seen in recent years the increased interest in turning the backyard into another "room" of the house. Building hardscape elements like kitchens and fireplaces as well as peaceful water elements like ponds and waterfalls remain popular and not only extend the season, but add additional value to the home and facilitate family time.
"In the recent economy families are not going on as many vacations and they are spending more time at home. Some families are waiting for the real estate market to turn around before moving to another home. The end result? We've seen more people reinvesting in their homes and landscapes," says Josh Boley, director of business development at Boley Tree & Landscape Care.
A new twist to these outdoor living spaces is incorporating environmentally conscious elements into the setup so your outdoor hangout is green for good.
"With that inside-out lifestyle comes a heightened awareness of the
surroundings and so naturally more thought is put into the landscaping and plantings," says Nicholas Tomkins, owner of Nicholas Solutions. "The combination of aesthetics and functionality becomes very important. Creating green screens with vegetation instead of building fences or planting shade trees instead of constructing an awning are examples of this."
Gain Some Rain
Another huge trend all of our experts mentioned that can be incorporated into outdoor living spaces as well as for sustainable lawn care in general? Rain barrels and rain water harvesting.
"Rain water harvesting is also gaining interest as water resources may become scarce and polluted," says Boley. "Turf and plants do so much better with natural rainfall and rain water harvesting can be incorporated into ponds and waterfall systems."
Scott Gear's company Second Rain actually constructs rainwater harvesting systems and he's enthusiastic about them, predicting an even bigger demand to come.
"There is an increased awareness toward the sustainable. It's really an environmentally friendly solution to get rain water out of the storm sewers which empty directly into our lakes," explains Gear. "So you reduce runoff and your water footprint. In addition to reducing your water use it helps prevent groundwater draw-down, too."
Gear's company sells two different systems: rainwater "blox" made of ninety-eight percent post-consumer recycled plastic that hold forty gallons of rainwater and rain benches that have a sixty-five gallon capacity.
"The bench is an integrated rain
collection system. But we design rainwater systems into structures, landscapes and usable items and products." Gear's company even has a fascinating graphic on its website (second-rain.com) that shows a virtual demonstration of constructing an outdoor kitchen from fourteen rain benches.
If you're more of a traditionalist Sustain Dane also sells quality and functional rain barrels on its website, too (rainfordane.com).
"My clients are requesting that rain barrels be included or accommodated for in designs," says Tomkins. "Knowing that there will be rainwater harvesting on a site then helps us design a planting schedule that will take advantage of this natural irrigation."
Way to grow
Native plantings are another way to cut down on pesticide use and lay the groundwork for a lower-maintenance lawn.
"We have seen a trend to use more native plants and perennials as they are more acclimated to our climate,
temperature and soils. Native plants and perennials tend to be more drought tolerant which saves water resources, and they are less prone to insect/ disease problems as well," says Boley.
Look into prairie plants, ornamental grasses and evergreens, adds Gear. They bloom for a long time and look beautiful year-round.
Tomkins encourages clients to plant native cultivars that don't require additional fertilization or irrigation—even going so far as to suggest eliminating the lawn: "We jokingly refer to lawns as 'drug-addicted carpets' because of the chemicals, excess water and mowing required to maintain a manicured appearance. Many times the patios, outdoor kitchens and native plantings we install can replace these types of lawns."
All three experts use sustainable and green practices in their businesses that you too can use or look for when hiring a landscape firm.
Tomkins says his business focuses on the long-term effects of a build on the environment: They use natural, reclaimed and recycled stone and avoid concrete because of its large carbon footprint.
Boley cautions homeowners that organic and sustainable lawn care takes more time to show results than a chemical-based program, but is worth it.
"When a lawn is coming off of a chemically based program, you typically have more weeds the second year after switching due to residual effects during the initial season on an organic program," says Boley. "It would be disingenuous for a product or company to say that 'going green' will save time or money and that there is little to no commitment that is needed from the homeowner to be actively involved in the healthy care of their landscape."
• Rain barrels and harvesting systems
• Compost: Builds up the nutrient levels in the soil—it creates moisture retention and reduces the need to water. Mulching also reduces weeds and adds nutrients to the soil, says Boley.
• Natural, reclaimed and recycled stone for landscaping/outdoor living projects
• Fly-ash pavers: A byproduct of coal-fired plants, CalStar (out of Caledonia, Wisconsin) has turned fly-ash into a brick product for use in landscaping and hardscaping, says Tomkins.
• Native plantings, organic and natural lawn-care products: Gear cautions homeowners to check labels. "Just because it's labeled organic or natural doesn't mean it's safe or nontoxic."

Navy setting course toward another bowl season
Notre Dame is no longer the only independent football team with a bowl game agreement. Navy, which is riding a four-year streak of eight wins or more, recently signed a one-year deal with the Poinsettia Bowl. As long as the Midshipmen win six games, they'll have a home in San Diego. The Mids, however, desire more from their season, namely a Top 25 ranking and respect to go with it. The Fighting Irish have respect, but they'd like to settle on a quarterback. High school phenom Jimmy Clausen looked average during the spring and will compete with two others to replace Brady Quinn. Notre Dame would also like to stop someone on defense, which is why it hired Corwin Brown as its defensive coordinator and allowed him to institute the 3-4.
One team that will still be searching for respect when the season's over is Army. The Black Knights took a step in the right direction by hiring the exuberant Stan Brock, a 16-year NFL veteran who served as an assistant under Bobby Ross. But Brock doesn't have a lot to work with.
Navy - 2006: 9-4
Junior quarterback Kaipo-Noa Kaheaku-Enhada spent the summer working on his throwing, but as was the case last year, it will be his running that determines the Midshipmen's success this season. After taking over as the starter against Notre Dame, Kaheaku-Enhada rushed for 507 yards and 10 touchdowns, while passing for only 384 and five touchdowns. Navy should be a rushing juggernaut once again, with Kaheaku-Enhada, senior running backs Reggie Campbell (1,778 total yards and 16 touchdowns in two seasons) and Zerbin Singleton and junior Shun White, who rushed for 116 against Boston College in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. The running game will also be helped by senior Antron Harper's move from guard to center. A rash of injuries during the preseason prevented several starting linemen from taking part in drills, but it also revealed some depth, most notably at the tackle position, where four players will compete to be in the regular three-man rotation.
Attrition is a fact of life at the service academies, where redshirting players is a luxury, not an automatic. Two years ago head coach Paul Johnson had to replace almost the entire offense; this year, he has to find nine new starters on defense, including the entire defensive line and most of the secondary. The defensive backfield might have been more stable had it not been for the departure of Jeromy Miles, who transferred to Div. I-AA UMass. Junior cornerback Rashawn King is the most experienced returner, but even he's competing with classmate Ketric Buffin. Nobody on the Midshipmen's defensive line has ever started a college game before, yet sophomore nose guard Nate Frazier is receiving starter-like hype. Despite only playing in three games last year and failing to make a tackle, Frazier (6-foot-3, 285) is considered to be a future NFL prospect. Although there are question marks up front and in back, the middle of Navy's defense will be solid with the return of senior inside linebackers Clint Sovie and Irv Spencer. Sovie started nine games last year, finishing fifth on the team with 61 tackles.
The Skinny
In his sixth year, head coach Paul Johnson has the Navy football program on a very successful automatic pilot. The Midshipmen have won eight or more games the last four years and have beaten Army the last five years. They even have a deal with the Poinsettia Bowl, which guarantees them a spot assuming they win the requisite six games.
Navy, however, desires more. According to Sovie, they want to be in the Top 25. If Navy is to crack it and remain there, it will have to win one or even two of three "swing games" at Pittsburgh, against Wake Forest and at Notre Dame. Two wins would get Midshipmen to 11 wins, and get people talking about them.
Navy doesn't need a dynamic offense to win games, but it does need a stout defense, and this year's edition has too many question marks there. The secondary could hurt the Mids, especially against a schedule with several teams who like to air it out. They'll achieve nine wins, but will have to settle for the top 50 and the Poinsettia come the holidays.
Regular Season Prediction: 9-3
Notre Dame - 2006: 10-3
Despite Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis' promise that he'd settle on two quarterbacks after the spring, it remains a three-player competition heading into the preseason. The most recognizable of the players is freshman Jimmy Clausen, the most sought-after recruit in the country and perhaps the last 10 years. Clausen, who endured LeBron James-like media scrutiny his final two years at Oaks Christian High in Westlake, Calif., enrolled in January to compete with junior Evan Sharpley and sophomore Demetrius Jones. He failed to distinguish himself during the spring, but also didn't play himself out of contention. Although Clausen is the popular pick to start, Sharpley is the logical one. He backed up Brady Quinn last year and has the better understanding of Weis' elaborate offensive schemes. Jones is the wildcard. He's the best athlete of the three, with the ability to run and throw. That skill set, however, isn't coveted in Weis' system, so he'll have to become a better passer if he wants to distinguish himself. Although much of the preseason offensive chatter revolves around the quarterbacks, the Fighting Irish's best offensive player is senior tight end John Carlson. A wide receiver in a tight end's body, a la Jeremy Shockey, Carlson caught 42 passes for 634 yards and four touchdowns last year, and will make the first-year starting quarterback's life a lot easier.
Weis is hoping that first-year defensive coordinator Corwin Brown's 3-4 defense will do for the Irish what it did for the NFL's New England Patriots and New York Giants teams Weis was associated with for much of his career. Since Notre Dame will now employ three defensive linemen instead of four, that meant several position changes in the spring. Two players who should benefit greatly from the reshuffling are junior Derrell Hand and sophomore John Ryan. Hand was an ineffective tackle in the 4-3, but flourished as a defensive end during the spring. Ryan was a decent defensive end last year, but now will be thrust into the spotlight as an outside linebacker. The jewel of the defense, however, remains the same: senior safety Tom Zbikowski. Zbikowski struggled last year compared to his sophomore year, which he blames on his burgeoning professional boxing career.
But Zbikowski has put his boxing interests aside for the moment and is totally committed to football, which is bad news for opponents. At his best, Zbikowski is a dynamic player, with the ability to deliver big hits and a preternatural awareness of the ball in the air which led to five interceptions as a sophomore. He's also a talented punt returner.
The Skinny
Notre Dame has a wealth of talent, but only seven returning starters, including only three on offense. Quarterback is going to garner most of the attention during the preseason, as three are whittled down to one. In a private moment Weis might express the desire to see Clausen win out. But it's not because Weis chief operator of the Clausen Hype Machine. If Clausen truly is the talent that everybody thinks he is, the more time he spends in Weis' offensive scheme, the better he'll perform, a la Brady Quinn. Making Clausen's transition to the college game easier is the presence of quarterback's coach Ron Powlus. The former Irish signal caller endured much of the same hype Clausen is now and can help Clausen get through it. Considering its offensive state, Notre Dame's defense must improve. Whether the 3-4 will do that remains to be seen. Perhaps there's a reason that more than only a handful of college programs use it. It's hard to envision the Irish as a 10-win team considering their brutal schedule, which includes Michigan, USC, Penn State, Boston College and UCLA. The good news is they'll play five homes games in a row, including BC and USC back-to-back.
Regular Season Prediction: 8-4
Army - 2006:
Stan Brock hadn't been a college head coach for three months when he put to use a lesson from College Coaching 101: After naming sophomore quarterback Carson Williams the starter heading into the spring, he immediately called the race between him and senior David Pevoto even, thus delaying a decision until the preseason. Brock, however, can only avoid it for so long. Pevoto and William both have their merits.
Williams, who took over for Pevoto last year, is more talented, having spurred the ACC and SEC to join the Knights. Pevoto isn't a bad passer, he's a better leader, and he's probably hungrier with only 12 games left in his college career. The problem is both of them have been woefully ineffective as starters. That will put even more pressure on the running backs. While Army has four returning - juniors Wesley McMahand, Jamal Robinson and sophomore Tony Moore - none having rushed for more than 100 yards in a game last year and both were hurt during the spring. Senior Jeremy Trimble is back at wide receiver, representing the Knights' only deep threat. If the offense can gain a foothold, it will benefit from the addition of offensive coordinator Tim Walsh, the former head coach at Portland State. Walsh is known as an offensive innovator who's not afraid to throw the ball down the field.
Army was great at shutting down opponent's passing attacks last year, ranking 7th nationally. Alas, the Knights were awful at stopping the run, ranking 115 out of 119 teams. The same should be true of this season's team. Senior strong safety Caleb Campbell is back after tearing his MCL and ACL at the end of last year, and joins senior cornerback John Laird to form a nice foundation in the secondary. After the defensive backfield, however, playing time is up for grabs. Senior Charlie Rockwood is the only returning starter at linebacker, and the defensive line is even more of a question. The defensive tackle position has the opportunity to be a strength with the return of senior Tony Fusco, the team's top returning tackler, and the addition of sophomore Ted Bentler. Bentler, whose brother Fritz Bentler also plays on the line, earned a varsity letter at Iowa his freshman year before transferring. Although he hasn't played a down he's already impressed coaches and earned the "Sledgehammer" award during the spring, the highest award a player can receive.
The Skinny
Whether or not Army is a success in Stan Brock's first year as head coach depends on your perspective. The Black Knights will not reach the level now enjoyed by Navy and will most likely lose their sixth straight to the Midshipmen. The defense hasn't improved significantly from last year and a cloud will hang over the offense until Brock chooses a starting quarterback. And if one or both of those quarterbacks don't perform, that cloud will linger throughout the season. If Williams can reaffirm himself as the starter, however, he has more upside the Pevoto and could help transform Army from a speed bump on other team's schedules to a four- or five-win team. The Knights' schedule is favorable, with winnable home games against Rhode Island, Temple and Tulane.
Regular Season Prediction: 3-9

how to install chess engine in a chess gui---Solved
This package installed nicely on Win7 SP1 x64 Home Premium. It may not be relavant I had 7-Zip version 9.20 previously installed.
Even now(year 2013) winboard 4.27(winboard_x) is so easy to use(not to configure maybe), fast and compatible(tested with Win 95,XP,Vista,Linux under Wine) that i prefer it to Arena. The lack of eco-openings and of introducing variation of an analyzed line is the only reason why i sometimes use Arena.The new verions of winboard seam slower and less customizable(no winboard.ini).
How do i start a chess engine while viewing a game? The option "action" is disabled for me on the top bar, do i need it to start an engine?
chess arina is better
Great chess game for the PC. It's small size and elementary design make it perfect if you're playing on my (or a) netbook.
What is the complete chess.com URL for playing internet chess with winboard?
Example for freechess.com is:
freechess.org /icsport=5000 /icshelper=timeseal
thank you. awesome to practice.
i got error 105? does it work on vista?
this doesnt work for me after i click the down load button it says open,save,save as. i first click save after saving i click open it shows me a 4 iteams: text document, jpeg image,application, and md5 file when i click applicaton it says run, extract or cancel i click run once i click run it says either sun again or cancel i click run then it says extract one i click extract nothing happens and i am back to the same 4 items if i click Md5 file this time it ask me what program i want to download at i tried literally every program i had in there and non works and i have 19 programs the only one that almost worked was adobe reader but there was a problem it said adobe reader can not open this file because it is either not a supported file or blah blah.. please help i dont know how to download this.
This is the best chess engine I have ever seen! I haven't even managed to draw with it yet!!!
thank you very much its a great application.. :) will have to learn all the finesses tough i jst downloaded this engine..
This program uses all of your CPU, so if you want to analyze a game which is for example on a web page on the Internet Explorer and you switch between windows the process will be annoyingly slow. The problem is worse if the moves are on a page that has a dynamic chessboard, which also consumes a significant amount of computer resources. In fact, you will quickly abandon the analysis because the computer will be just too slow. There should be an option to stop the engine so that you can switch between windows easily or even an option to limit CPU consumption. Selecting Pause or Edit Position does not stop the engine from running, which if it happened it would have been a good workaround. Apart from that, the GUI could have been more user-friendly, especially the starting options panel, apart from the fact that there should be default options and not an option panel every time the program starts.
Very helpfull, but it's missing help files (I think). I'm using Windows 7 and it says the help cotents are missing.

The most immediate question in Charlotte's latest rezoning debate is whether to allow a large collection of car dealerships on a university area site. But the developer's request points to a second question with even higher stakes:
Will the city do all it can to ensure that the Blue Line extension to UNC Charlotte is as successful as the south line has been?
The original Blue Line, which runs south from uptown to I-485, has mostly fulfilled its promise of sparking development and revitalizing a listless part of town. Apartments, retail, office space, restaurants and other establishments sprouted along the line, breathing new life especially into South End. That pedestrian-friendly development delivered a shot of vigor to an area that needed it while also boosting property tax collections.
Now the Blue Line will extend nine miles from uptown to the UNC Charlotte area. Construction begins next year and trains are scheduled to start rolling in 2017.
The $1.1 billion investment has the potential to resuscitate a crumbling city artery. Development along the line would further the city's efforts to boost its tax base organically, with its annexation abilities about tapped out. That's something the City Council has been wrestling with in its capital improvement plan.
But pedestrian-friendly, transit-oriented development requires the city to be intentional. The Arden Group's request to rezone 39 acres about a quarter mile from a planned university city Blue Line station is just one early indicator of how the city will choose to grow. Will the City Council approve one development at a time, even if the project is not ideal for the transit line? Or will it commit to a plan that drives mixed-use development all along the line?
There's an argument to be made for the 275,000-square-foot auto mall. The site is hard up against I-85, surrounded by big-box stories and a full quarter-mile from the Blue Line. So it would still allow for higher-density development closer to the line, while developing a site that arguably doesn't lend itself to better uses.
Council member Michael Barnes, who represents the area, told the editorial board Monday that that's "a reasonable assessment" but also said he believes there could be a better use for the land.
Either way, the issues are bigger than this one rezoning. Land all along the Blue Line extension is not zoned for transit-oriented development. And area plans for several stations need to be updated and used to help govern development.
Barnes said city staff is beginning to tackle those kinds of issues now. That's good, if a bit late. If taxpayers are going to invest more than $1 billion into the Blue Line extension, the city should back that investment up with smart growth decisions driven by a plan, not by whatever rezoning request happens to fall in its lap. The city should put the dealership rezoning on hold until that plan is developed.

Thank you Lakeland for this easy to use product.I will be using this each month now if necessary and not dread cleaning my oven again. Trish

Fantastic Oven Mate Cleaning Gel"
by Mr Derham
A couple of years ago, we employed a professional oven cleaner. He did a good job but commented that some burnt in stains would never be removed. I spent today cleaning our oven with Oven Mate. I did need to apply a second application of the gel in a couple of areas, but the outcome is a completely clean oven, just like it was when new. My work with Oven Mate today has produced a far better result than the professional cleaner achieved. Oven mate is a fantastic product and really does what is claimed about it. I am seriously impressed. Well done Lakeland!

Wonderful Stuff"
by Louise
If you have ever thought what to give someone as a quirky 'moving in' present. This will be your best bet, they will love and remember you for ever. I often get a call from our children, when they are just about to move out or have just moved into a new flat,"Coffee Mum, Oh and could you...." It really is superb. I have cleaned, with one or two applications so of the most horrible ovens I have ever seen. Instead of it being an absolute nightmare, it really has been effortless and more importantly, fume free! My own onven is as clean as the day it was purchased, and I am a baker.

Why bother..."
by Hilary
...with anything else? I have just painted my crusty convection oven dish with this, gone out and walked the dog, sat down with a cuppa and then ambled back into the kitchen and washed it off. Why can't all house work be this easy? No smell, no hard graft. There is NOTHING on the market that even comes close. Thank you Lakeland

I am by nature a skeptic, I purchased this on the back of the great reviews it had. I doubted it would live up to expectation. How wrong I was, this is brilliant, after leaving it on for a couple of hours, there was a proper WOW moment when I wiped off 6 months of cooking dirt with a piece of kitchen roll. There was one area at the bottom of the oven that had a burnt on stain dating back 2 years. I had attacked it with another oven cleaner, scrapers, wire wool etc etc in the past, but had given up on it. This product removed it with no more effort than wiping! Brilliant!

Brilliant product. I wish I had heard about this earlier so that I could saved a whole lot of time scrubbing my oven. Excellent product. The small brush that comes along is very handy to use too. Would recommend to everyone I know. Very happy!

It works really well, you do need a little bit of elbow grease and may have to reapply on stubborn black marks. I left it for 6 hours. I will get my oven professionally cleaned again keep on top of it with this.

oven cleaner"
by Mrs Lynn Hawks
I bought this oven cleaner years ago, and have recommended it to everyone who 'moans' about the chore of cleaning the oven! put it on in the evening, and simply wipe out the next day .... I clean my oven more often now using the, 'in the mean time' cleaner, however, its so good and sooo simply, I clean it in the evening and wash out in the morning, how long --- half hour tops, two hours tops for a really bad oven! happy clean oven :0

brilliant product"
by Ann
I'm always rather sceptical about the claims of oven cleaners - and until now have never found one that actually delivers what it promises. This one does. I left it on overnight as it was a VERY dirty oven (!!) and I now have an oven that looks almost new! Thank you Lakeland - this really is a miracle cure!!

the only real oven cleaner"

It's the only product from many I have tried that really does what it promises, oven cleaning without elbow grease! To the Lakeland team: please find a way to ship it within Europe - I definitely need a new bottle and it seems that liquids can't be shipped to Cyprus?

A note from the team: Thanks for placing your review. We're unable to air freight the Oven Mate Gel and certain other products owing to EU carrier restrictions.
Does exactly what it promises to do!"
by Anne
This gel is fantastic. I'm not much of a review writer, but would happily endorse this brilliant product. Leave it on a really mucky surface for a good long time, say two hours, and the burned on, greasy, gooey grot just wipes off. 100% excellent!

This is a fantastic product, easy to use and cleans the oven like new. I tried other products which were messy and smelled awful. This product not only cleans brilliantly but there is no after smell. I had something burn on the bottom of my oven which I couldn't budge, nor could other products but this product totally removed it and oven looks brand new. Also used it on the shelves, they came out sparkling. Recommend it to anyone.

Wow !!!"
by Victoria
i just cannot belive how great this product is, I have been reading reviews for a long time and finally got around to giving the oven a go with Oven Mate , and have to say that is just superb !!! i realised that my oven was pretty bad and so was likely to need more than one application , so was very patient and can say that it was worth the effort as it now looks just like it did when we bought it. Guess it wins its awards for a reason !!

I recently bought this as I had to clean my oven prior ro moving. It had not been cleaned for sometime so I followed the instructions, and left it overnight.

Having used other oven cleaners in the past, with mixed results, I thought Id give Oven Mate Cleaning Gel a try .... and was amazed by how quick and efficiently it cleaned ( & with no smell ) - After just a few hours, my oven, grill and racks simply wiped clean and now sparkle like new !!!! Well worth the money Lakeland

I bought this after moving into a new house and discovering the oven was in the most horrific state. This stuff is amazing, it may take a few more bottles before the oven is actually clean but nothing else has even touched it!!

Our oven was in a rather embarrassing state. I'd tried a couple of other products which claimed to be able to remove all the grease and grime but was horribly disappointed. We tried Oven Mate for the first time yesterday and the oven is looking fantastic! It hasn't removed everything (there are a few areas where the dirt was really stubborn) but I'll try cleaning those again over the next week or so. Perhaps repeated application will do the job. Brilliant product, only loses a star because it promises to remove "even the most stubborn baked-on fat and oil" and we still have some.

Not bad but not as good as expected"
by Kris
Had rather expected miracles based on what I'd read. Is good gunk but takes time to cut through serious muck. Gloves provided are too flimsy so used proper style washing-up gloves. Would be easier to tip gunk into dish/paint can and use a one inch paint brush to coat surface. Roof of oven still not properly clean - compounded by being a dark surface. Maybe the in between works well but will have to live in the shed.
