Discussion: Need Boombah Ultimate Pants
Boombah is easy to work with and they are NOT in peak season right now--------they have several shipping options for stock pants, and if you need "custom" talk to a rep when you call and explain the situation, they "might" bump you up the list?
You can just go on-line and buy stock pants and have them in a couple days or next day air if you want.

Discussion: Why so few AA teams
Just my personal opinion: In short, the equipment makes too many guys long ball hitters now. AA is one homer and then outs after that-------upper divisions more homers and one up rules.
Being honest here, I stopped playing with the kids when I was 42, and took several years off. Played mostly B & C back in USSSA/NSA/ASA days in 80's and 90's.
When i got invited to play with an Over 50 League team, it was nice just to get out and play after work a couple nights a week. My League Team from Ohio made an annual pilgramage to Vegas for Winter Worlds every year in AA (different age groups)
When I first made a trip to Vegas I had no idea what AA/AAA/Major/Major Plus was in SSUSA or any other organization, just knew I was going to a softball tournament, and was happy about that.
My first year in Vegas (2009) Myself and a team-mate were doing everything we could to NOT hit homers over the fence. Didn't have that problem in Ohio with the ball and etc we were using.
Between us we had multiple homers almost every game, wound up coming in 2nd Place in 50AA, but SOOooooomany homers were outs. I personally knocked myself off the All Winter World Tournament Team but having 5/6 homers for outs knock my batting average down too far.
That being said, Myself and my team-mate realized we were not AA players.
My belief is AA is designed to be the "true" recreational softball division now, and the rules are making it to keep home run hitters out of it. I "believe" the ONE homer limit is a TOKEN just incase the wind is blowing out and some guy who never hits homers accidentally knocks one out.
Nothing the matter with AA, I did it in Vegas for two years, games were competitive in Over 50AA----I had a blast, and everybody still plays to win------I too am shocked there are no 50AA's in Phoenix.
Now I play 50AAA and "most possibly" Major next year.

Discussion: Congratulations SF
Fabe: Congrats on winning 50AAA-----Great Job!
Stick8: Just my opinion, Indians owner has to go.
Attendance stinks, nobody really on the roster for the Indians you'd really want to pay and go see. Obviously Indians fans will come out if you put a good product on the field, like the 400++ sellouts in a row a decade ago.
Minor league system is dry of major league ready talent. Used to be one of the best in the Majors, just a couple years ago.
We either have to penny up and get a couple free agents to make a run at the division, which will help sell tickets, which can bring in more $$$ for better players. The Dolan's don't run the team like that.
Just winning early doesn't help Indians attendance as reflected in the last two years. First place both years for a couple months. The fans know we don't have the horses to keep it going for six months though.
I like Francona, don't like his out clause though.

LOL------I thought this was a thread about "Shannon Fence" Softball from Ohio going to 55 Winter Worlds in a couple weeks.
Congrats to the Giants
Can't believe baseball is over, seems like playoffs just started.
If Major League Baseball was the NBA, we'd still maybe be in the first or 2nd series-------NBA takes way too long.

Discussion: Age eligibility... ?
Again---------it would be TOO EASY for tournaments in 2012 to count for 2012---------------not 2013---------that is where some guys get confused.
Your birth year is the age you are eligable.
1963 = (50) 2013
1958 = (55) 2013
1953 = (60) 2013 etc etc etc
its the darn two months the prior year as "first event" of next year that mess people up.
Winter Worlds November 2012, is a 2013 roster tournament.

Discussion: Take responsibilty
I'm going to go back to the original topic. I bought a bad UII from a softball/baseball specialty store in Ohio back in June.
It was noticably "not right" no cracks or dents, or anything ------but it just seemed dead, not a typical UII. Unfortunately having broken multiple UII's over the past four years I know what they are supposed to act like.
There were multiple topics on this board going on about this over the summer too.
I tried breaking it in over several practice sessions, to no avail, and then stowed it away.
I saw Corky at the SSUSA Tournament in Lansing in August and told him my dilemma. He said if I had a receipt from a certified dealer, (which i did)just go to the Miken web-site, get an RMA# and send it back with copy of the receipt for testing, with a note on why I feel it should be replaced.
I did, and had a new UII (with new serial #'s) on my front porch, delivered from UPS in about one week.
So in my case, Kudos to Miken for replacing mine.

Discussion: One pitch
I've also heard about some tournaments with weather issues switching to one pitch although I've never played in one? I'm just "guessing" more than a full day of play would have had to be wiped out for that to happen? An advantage would be you could still keep losers bracket moving along I guess, and get the full tournament in????
I have been to huge tournaments, including places like Vegas, where an entire day lost to weather turned tournaments into single elimination.
I remember one year, Friday was washed out. We were supposed to play our first game at 9AM on Friday morning and wound up having to play the first game at 4AM Saturday morning. It was still raining, which forced them to turn the tournament to one and done.
MAN! We brought ten guys to Vegas, two guys didn't get to the field on time for 4AM game-------we won the flip, chose to hit first, scored three, and delayed as long as we could waiting for the other two guys who never showed up. Long way to travel from Ohio for single elimination (and forfeit with a lead).
And single elimination only works if the tournament starts late due to cancellations the first day, and everybody is in the same boat. It can be a nightmare if some teams were already in the losers bracket when format changes to single elimination, depending how the tournament director would want to proceed.

Discussion: One pitch
I have never played one pitch under normal seasonal conditions, but I have played one pitch MANY times here in Northern Ohio in the Snow.
Mostly in late 80's and early 90's
We used to call them snowball/softball tournaments and the object of the one pitch was to keep games around 30 minutes or so. Before there were the new flourescent green balls we use now, we'd use orange balls in the snow as they were easy to find if they went into a snowdrift.
The March of Dimes used to sponsor a huge tournament in Cleveland (and another in Lake County) that drew a couple hundred teams to several sites on Saturdays (all in one division, double elimination) and then tournament site winners would play championship rounds on sunday.
A couple of years we were even playing championship games inside the old Cleveland Indians Stadium.
It was full rules softball, sliding, etc but ONE PITCH, and we'd get bundled up in anything to keep us warm in January and February. We had to have the right footwear for the right conditions (ice infields, frozen dirt infields or snow covered infields)
Sometimes it was 29/30 degrees and we'd all be soaked if the sun was out, and I remember one year playing along the lake at Gordon Park when it was 8 below zero with a wind chill of over minus 30 (but sunny)
There was even a tournament circuit, as we travelled to Pittsburgh and Buffalo (examples) as a one pitch team in the winter, and also qualified for the Snowball One pitch Worlds in Omaha one season too I think it was 1987?)
It was a blast, and games were pretty quick. I have not heard about anything like this in Northern Ohio in a long long time if they still do it???

Discussion: AAA Home Runs
jsheeran" Thanks----you guys have a real nice team, certainly one of the best AAA teams in the upper midwest for sure!!!! (Hitting and Defense & a couple good pitchers too)
I've also played against you in SSUSA in Lansing last year, and somewhere else in the past too.
BTW------"YOU" are one of the best shortstops I (we) have every played against!!!!
Good Luck and look forward to playing against you again down the road!!!

Discussion: AAA Home Runs
jsheeran: I am just asking, do you play with KSheeran out of Michigan with Pricer?
I don't agree or disagree with 3 or even if it went to 4 homers in AAA, but if you are part of the KSheeran team, well, that team can hit an awful lot of homers, and have indeed hit them for multiple walks against us in the past. (And lots of them)
I'm just guessing on your log in name----but I've seen KSheeran do the "home run derby" thing themselves.
I am probably more in favor of three and then "one up" as lefty says above.
That would help level the rules if the wind is outbound or playing with a short porch.
You can be at a tournament where one field wind is blowing out and the one behind your backstop is blowing in------
I do not agree with fair balls being outs.

Discussion: LV World Tournament Discussion
stick8:------I 100% agree with you, I consider softball tournaments like business trips, take care of business first, then take the rest of the trip as it comes.
I can't speak for everybody who plays softball---------BUT---------I know 100%++-----including multiple guys on one of my teams-------- a lot of softball players go to places like VEGAS Tournaments (World or other) and don't think like us.
Some want to get to the all you can eat buffet or a show, and don't want to be at night games there. The town is open 24/7 but some individuals have different agenda's.
Vegas itself, was a tool to get more teams to come out there for Worlds. Like big conventions do too. More people, more hotels filled, more people bringing $$$$ to spend.
No disrespect to anybody, but if the tournament were in Cleveland (Where I live) Topeka, Fairbanks, Des Moines and a hundred dozen other places, you won't get 450++++ teams there in the fall.
Great Marketing move by SSUSA. Probably could have kept Winter Worlds there too? I am curious to see how many teams come to Phoenix next month as opposed to Vegas Winter Worlds in past years.

Discussion: AAA Home Runs
^^^^5ToolsinOhio and I played in a AAA Tournament in early summer. A team run ruled us and knocked us into losers bracket in the first round-------I don't know how many HR's they hit for walks that (after the one up rule), but it was double digits. THAT DAY they seemed like they belonged in Major?
The next day they lost a game and we played them again, and under nowhere near the same circumstances, and THEN we beat THEM to advance to championship round. Both teams struggled to get to 3HR's late in the game and then it went to the one up rule.
In the Championship Game we got killed, probably lost by 25 runs to another team that had double digit dingers for walks. It was like a merry go round-----it made me dizzy.
That same team in another tournament didn't do diddly with homers. Very nice team, but I think they are in the right place in AAA (just my opinion, overall for entire season?)
There is more to AAA and all the divisions than homers. Our team can get hot and start hitting a homer barage too--------BUT---------we have defensive issues and will go in spurts where nobody can make a play--------& we'd get destroyed in "many" major games, and some other AAA teams I see, would be in the same boat as us.
ALL BEING SAID, I'd like to see a one up rule BUT if you go over the limit and the other team has not matched you yet, then they (HR's) should be outs-------it would help speed up some play

Discussion: SSUSA ID CARD question
titanhd: thanks I understand the logic.
Card "looks good" based on dates is a no brainer, but is a 2012 expiring card good for a 2013 tournament being played in 2012????
Maybe I'm getting old, but it would be "too easy" and logical to make 2013 tournaments start after January 1st 2013, when it is 2013, not six weeks before in 2012???
I'm just throwing the question out there, and probably I'll just call SSUSA office since they aren't jumping on here, before a couple guys who are paying their own way to Phoenix (flights and hotels) get there and possibly find out they can't play.
I know, -------the next logical thing is if they can afford flights and hotels why can't they penny up $20 bucks to renew a card?????????????
I don't balance their checkbooks, I just give them uniforms and tournament entry fees. Any of you who have tried to manage 12-17 grown adults on a ball team and give them instruction know what I am talking about-------------sheeessshhhhh!!!
They'll throw a grand $$$$ into slot machines in Vegas and complain about a $20 renewal fee.
I'm also just guessing other teams have some players who also didn't plan on renewing yet, if they even need too. Hence the question.
G19 thanks for watching my back.

Discussion: AAA Home Runs
Tuscon: I've seen it in AAA----it happens. Live balls and bats on 300 fences. Guys get hot, pitcher grooving balls, wind blowing even slightly out, guys don't care and swing away because worse that can happen is, its a "walk"
Make those over the limit = outs, you won't see that many or even close.
I love SSUSA, but another association has a lot of tournaments (not all) on 325 fences----which most complexes don't have. 325 fences can equalize a lot of the long balls to equate to long outs.

Discussion: SSUSA ID CARD question
So what is the answer on the card?
If a guys card expires 12-31-12, and the Phoenix Winter Worlds is technically a 2013 tournament, is the card GOOD or does it need renewed before Phoenix????

Discussion: Meniscus Surgery Recovery Time?
Going to be 3 weeks ago tomorrow since my surgery.
TONIGHT was the first night I took some swings in practice and tested the knee.
Swinging was OK-----first couple the timing was way off. Haven't touched a bat in five or six weeks. I did wear a knee stablizer!!!!!
I was disappointed trying to run in the outfield. Some tenderness there I didn't think I had from PT, riding the bike, walking daily, weight machines, stretch bands and etc. This was my first "running session" and I know I'm not ready to go to a tournament yet!!!!!! NOT EVEN CLOSE as far as the legs go.
Hitting seemed to be OK, lots of line shots and some long balls in about 25/30 swings.
Doc told me 6-8 weeks so I am starting to believe him, regardless how good the knee feels in general.
My Ohio tournament team is not going to Jacksonville in a few weeks, unfortunately, so I have plenty of time to get ready for 2013 now.

Givner & Kaye Clarify Overlooked Real Estate Tax Implications Of Same-Sex Marriage Ruling
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that found the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) unconstitutional has opened up a number of favorable planning options previously unavailable to legally married same-sex couples. Specifically, there are two real estate tax implications that have been largely overlooked that these couples should be aware of according to Bruce Givner and Owen Kaye, partners in the Los Angeles estate planning, asset protection and tax law firm Givner & Kaye.
In a recent article for the Daily Journal, California's largest legal news provider, Givner and Kaye noted that the recent United States v. Windsor decision now affects two important real estate exclusions for same-sex married couples: the sale of a personal residence and the sale of investment property.
In the sale of a primary personal residence, the IRS allows a capital gains exclusion of $250,000 for singles and $500,000 for married couples. Legally married same-sex couples that wed following Windsor (2010) are now entitled to the larger exclusion. If one spouse dies, the surviving spouse is still entitled to the $500,000 exclusion if the residence is sold within two years of the first spouse's death.
As to the sale of investment property, one strategy that allows the owner/seller to not recognize the entire taxable gain in the year of sale is to enter into an installment agreement with the buyer. On every $5 million of a promissory note, the seller can defer more than $1.6 million of tax.Before Windsor , a California property owner could sell his investment property to his same-sex partner and take back that partner's promissory note. The buyer-partner could hold the property long enough to have a capital gain basis, then sell the property to an outside buyer without having to recognize any capital gain since his basis was equal to the note. However, following Windsor , a legally married same sex couple would not be able to do this since they are now related for income tax purposes unless the buyer-partner holds onto the property for more than two years before selling to an outside buyer. Givner & Kaye focuses on sophisticated income tax planning and compliance, tax litigation and procedure, estate planning, and asset protection plans for individuals and businesses in Beverly Hills, Calabasas, West Los Angeles, Hollywood, and other areas of Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside and Santa Barbara counties.

For whatever reason, it takes forever for my character to begin his animation to draw his two-handed weapon. He draws his bow near instantly, but when I press the hotkey to have him draw his axe he just stands there like an idiot for a good 2-3 seconds. Anybody else have this happen? Is it normal?
Please assume that any posts I make are referring to single-player unless I say otherwise. I couldn't possibly give less of a **** about multiplayer or co-op.
Always happens with hotkeys for me.

Edit: Yep. Damn it.
Please assume that any posts I make are referring to single-player unless I say otherwise. I couldn't possibly give less of a **** about multiplayer or co-op.
Try waiting in the fav list after selecting the weapon for two or three seconds.
leg godt
I just started having this issue with one of my save files. I have played hundreds of hours and never had this problem. The weapon is not hot keyed either, I go into the menu and select the weapon I want.
XboX360 for Skyrim PS3 for everything else!!! I am unstoppable!!!!
I've had this problem forever, not using a 2H weapon.... I just got used to it.
PSN= MKEBrewCrew
Now 's a good time to ask this:
If you've played Skyrim for a year, got all updates and dlc's, does the game menu and response overall seem to get more sluggish as time goes on?
I don't remember having the delays this bad before Dawnguard...
Redguards Rule!
I just started playing again after a long break and it seems like the weapon draw lags way more then it used to. I dont know why either.

Now 's a good time to ask this:
I've experienced this with every weapon practically. Its not a DLC thing though.
Sigs are for noobs

turn_based posted...Now 's a good time to ask this:
With updates then? I'd like to find out from others that have been playing consistently for a year, through all the updates and dlcs.
What about menu and favorites? Does the game act like it doesn't acknowledge your controller at times? Flipping pages in a book gets tedious...

Hatton trainer says Pacquiao style is full of flaws, predicts 6 round stoppage
Very interesting interview on Ricky Hatton's website, rickyhitmanhatton.com, with Lee Beard, his co-trainer. Beard is the man who brought Ricky and Floyd Mayweather Snr together.
In this article Beard explains how he learnt under Mayweather: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/boxingandmma/3485399/Floyd-Mayweather-Snr-expects-new-pupil-Ricky-Hatton-to-pass-test-with-flying-colours-Boxing.html
Below are the comments from Beard, an interesting, thoughtful character from Hatton's own website, rickyhitmanhatton.com. He sees Hatton breaking Pacquiao down:
Lee on how long he would like camp:
"There has been a lot of discussions surrounding this issue and it all boils down to the individual fighter and knowing Ricky like I do and having been out there for the past few camps, around 5 weeks or so is an ideal amount of time as it gives you time to adjust and get into Vegas time as well as having plenty of time for hard training. Any longer and it starts to grate on you a little. For Ricky I don't think it benefits him mentally, some people like to be away from everything and some don't. If Ricky was locked up for a long time it would drive him crazy and he wouldn't be in the right place mentally if he was there any longer than say 6 weeks but that's just my opinion."
On Pacquiao stating Ricky is one dimensional and Freddie Roach claiming that if Pacquiao boxes he wins easy.
"I have been to Pacquiao's gym, and watched him train a couple of times and he makes lots of mistakes, mistakes that he also makes in fights. All fighters make mistakes but you have to be able to capitalise on them mistakes, for example against Mayweather Ricky couldn't capitalise on the mistakes Floyd was making. In this fight I believe that Manny will make the same mistakes as normal and Ricky will capitalise."
"If Ricky does get his shots off when these mistakes are made this fight could be a lot easier for Ricky than people think. I've seen sparring partners brought in for Ricky that were 130-135lbs and one guy, first time Ricky hit him it was over, he lasted 50 seconds, he had the fastest hands I'd seen and he ran around the ring and I thought to myself, Ricky may struggle to land a punch here, but then he did land one to the chest and the guy hit the deck and didn't get back up, they had to send him home there and then. So what I'm saying is that Ricky is a big Light Welter and Manny is in good shape for the weight but he is naturally smaller, in his fight with Marquez he was hit with a left hook that shook him, now I believe if Ricky were to land that same shot Manny would be knocked out"
"When Ricky hits Manny he is going to be shocked at the power, when Manny fought Oscar, Oscar was dead at the weight and never landed anything"
"If Ricky had of fought Oscar that night I think he would have stopped him earlier than Manny and I think that Diaz would have also been taken out earlier"
"Manny makes some massive errors and he is very repetitive in some of his movements and with certain punches and the way he throws them. "
"I think that Ricky will stop Manny within 6 rounds, I think the first time Ricky gets hold of him and unloads Manny wont know what's hit him. Ricky is a big Light Welter and has been in with some huge punchers, people like Kostya Tszyu and Juan Urango, obviously they haven't got the speed of Manny but Ricky has seen the speed before in Mayweather."
Which Sparring Partners would Lee like to see:
"I think the only one that's near to Pacquiao in terms of style is Edwin Valero and thats who I'd like to see us get in. I think that if you can adjust to him then its the closet thing you can get to Pacquaio and his record would suggest he hits as hard if not harder than Manny"
"If Manny is allowed to get into a rhythm in the first few rounds then it will be a very difficult fight for Ricky so he needs to make sure that he works hard in the gym to work on certain things to avoid Manny getting into that rhythm"
Lee on the prospect of Ricky getting cut in the fight
"Both fighters are similar height and there styles could mean their heads clashing and with Manny preferring Cleto Reyes gloves which are known as a punchers glove, so cuts are a concern but Ricky hasn't been cut badly in a while so I'm not thinking to much about cuts."
Very interesting theories, and a clear insight into Hatton's strategy.

Georgian Pavé Paste Button Earrings
Almost pure white and glistening with life when viewed in real time, these 18th century pavé paste grand stud earrings most likely started out life so long ago as buttons. Perhaps even as the buttons of a gentleman's waistcoat! Dandyism was at its zenith and men were often ablaze with buttons or buckles on shoes and breeches and cuff buttons as well. While they photograph more silvery gray, the earrings are much livelier in person.
Most 18th century paste can be distinguished by its shaped pastes (not just round faceted stones) and in this instance, tear drops as well as the more traditional round shapes. Each has a black dot, a hallmark of fine paste. For additional information visit our Jewelry History section. All are set in a close knit wheel of shimmer; each is foiled behind and set closed back. A later date silver back has been added, as have 14k gold earring posts.
Condition: Excellent for the pastes, with a few tiny edge chips or wear. Backing is a
later date as are post ear wires.
Measurements: Diameter is 7/8 of an inch (2.2 cm) and is 5/16 of an inch (0.7 cm) in depth. This pair of antique earrings has a weight of 12.9 grams
Date & Origin: Circa 1780 - 1800 and is possibly French or English in origin.

Over the past few months I interviewed several dozen people about what could be expected in Iraq after the United States dislodged Saddam Hussein. An assumption behind the question was that sooner or later the United States would go to war—and would go with at best a fraction of the support it enjoyed eleven years ago when fighting Iraq during the Gulf War. Most nations in the region and traditional U.S. allies would be neutral or hostile unless the Bush Administration could present new evidence of imminent danger from Iraq.
A further assumption was that even alone, U.S. forces would win this war. The victory might be slower than in the last war against Iraq, and it would certainly cost more American lives. But in the end U.S. tanks, attack airplanes, precision-guided bombs, special-operations forces, and other assets would crush the Iraqi military. The combat phase of the war would be over when the United States destroyed Saddam Hussein's control over Iraq's government, armed forces, and stockpile of weapons.
What then?
The people I asked were spies, Arabists, oil-company officials, diplomats, scholars, policy experts, and many active-duty and retired soldiers. They were from the United States, Europe, and the Middle East. Some firmly supported a pre-emptive war against Iraq; more were opposed. As of late summer, before the serious domestic debate had begun, most of the people I spoke with expected a war to occur.
Interviews: "Proceed With Caution" (October 10, 2002)
James Fallows argues that before getting ourselves into a war with Iraq, we must think long and hard about its possible consequences.
I began my research sharing the view, prevailing in Washington this year, that forcing "regime change" on Iraq was our era's grim historical necessity: starting a war would be bad, but waiting to have war brought to us would be worse. This view depended to some degree on trusting that the U.S. government had information not available to the public about exactly how close Saddam Hussein is to having usable nuclear warheads or other weapons of mass destruction. It also drew much of its power from an analogy every member of the public could understand—to Nazi Germany. In retrospect, the only sin in resisting Hitler had been waiting too long. Thus would it be in dealing with Saddam Hussein today. Richard Perle, a Reagan-era Defense Department official who is one of the most influential members outside government of what is frequently called the "war party," expressed this thought in representative form in an August column for the London Daily Telegraph: "A pre-emptive strike against Hitler at the time of Munich would have meant an immediate war, as opposed to the one that came later. Later was much worse."
Nazi and Holocaust analogies have a trumping power in many arguments, and their effect in Washington was to make doubters seem weak—Neville Chamberlains, versus the Winston Churchills who were ready to face the truth. The most experienced military figure in the Bush Cabinet, Secretary of State Colin Powell, was cast as the main "wet," because of his obvious discomfort with an effort that few allies would support. His instincts fit the general sociology of the Iraq debate: As a rule, the strongest advocates of pre-emptive attack, within the government and in the press, had neither served in the military nor lived in Arab societies. Military veterans and Arabists were generally doves. For example: Paul Wolfowitz, the deputy secretary of defense and the intellectual leader of the war party inside the government, was in graduate school through the late 1960s. Richard Armitage, his skeptical counterpart at the State Department and Powell's ally in pleading for restraint, is a Naval Academy graduate who served three tours in Vietnam.
I ended up thinking that the Nazi analogy paralyzes the debate about Iraq rather than clarifying it. Like any other episode in history, today's situation is both familiar and new. In the ruthlessness of the adversary it resembles dealing with Adolf Hitler. But Iraq, unlike Germany, has no industrial base and few military allies nearby. It is split by regional, religious, and ethnic differences that are much more complicated than Nazi Germany's simple mobilization of "Aryans" against Jews. Hitler's Germany constantly expanded, but Iraq has been bottled up, by international sanctions, for more than ten years. As in the early Cold War, America faces an international ideology bent on our destruction and a country trying to develop weapons to use against us. But then we were dealing with another superpower, capable of obliterating us. Now there is a huge imbalance between the two sides in scale and power.
If we had to choose a single analogy to govern our thinking about Iraq, my candidate would be World War I. The reason is not simply the one the historian David Fromkin advanced in his book A Peace to End All Peace: that the division of former Ottoman Empire territories after that war created many of the enduring problems of modern Iraq and the Middle East as a whole. The Great War is also relevant as a powerful example of the limits of human imagination: specifically, imagination about the long-term consequences of war.
The importance of imagination was stressed to me by Merrill McPeak, a retired Air Force general with misgivings about a pre-emptive attack. When America entered the Vietnam War, in which McPeak flew combat missions over the jungle, the public couldn't imagine how badly combat against a "weak" foe might turn out for the United States. Since that time, and because of the Vietnam experience, we have generally overdrawn the risks of combat itself. America's small wars of the past generation, in Grenada, Haiti, and Panama, have turned out far better—tactically, at least—than many experts dared to predict. The larger ones, in the Balkans, the Persian Gulf, and Afghanistan, have as well. The "Black Hawk Down" episode in Somalia is the main exception, and it illustrates a different rule: when fighting not organized armies but stateless foes, we have underestimated our vulnerabilities.

One of the most common arguments I hear in favor of US entry into World War II is that we had to stop the Holocaust. I am always amazed by this and usually respond with something like "Um, you did notice that the Jews of Europe were destroyed, right? If the US indeed entered the war to stop the Holocaust then it miserably failed."
Today Justin Raimondo addresses this argument briefly and then, more fully, the current version of it that argues for intervention to stop the killing in Darfur, Sudan: What About Darfur? The case against intervention. I can't over-emphasize how important it is to take on this argument for intervention. The interventionists have the moral high ground in America because they can always fall back on the argument that military intervention by the US against really bad guys can, and indeed has, resulted in bad people being stopped from doing mass murder. Raimondo writes:
This new crusade is so imbued with the aura of humanitarian uplift that anyone who questions the wisdom of intervening in a complicated and obscure civil war will be denounced as a "racist" who doesn't give a hoot about Africa.
Oh, so you're against intervening in Darfur, eh? Don't you care about starving African babies?
It is this kind of reasoning that leads to anyone who consistently espouses the non-interventionist principle being denounced as a Nazi sympathizer or Holocaust denier. If the US was morally required to intervene against the Nazis by the Holocaust then only someone who thinks the Holocaust didn't really happen or likes the Nazis for some insane reason could possibly oppose US entry into WWII. In a similar fashion, only a racist who hates poor people could oppose welfare programs.
Much headway has been made, I believe, in making the case that economic intervention doesn't work. At least one can argue this without immediately being viewed as a soulless bastard (depending on who you're talking to). But a principled opposition to US war-making, one that opposes all the US's unjust wars still places one beyond the pale. Much work remains to be done.2:26 pm on May 1, 2006 Email Stephen W. Carson

The residual Dalís didn't come as much of a surprise, but there were other surprises in store. Based on the gallery's promotion of it, I had expected the Karen Stene show here to be more substantial -- not necessarily a full-scale one-woman exhibition but one with a little more breadth than the show turned out to have. Instead, I found a strange but compelling mix of works by artists old and new, famous and obscure.
New River has augmented its modern-masters collection with four Marc Chagall lithographs displayed in the same area as the Dalís: The Angel (1960), Put into Words (1969), Reverie (1970), and Painter with Three Bouquets (1982), the last featuring a pair of trademark Chagall lovers floating dreamily in the air above the flowers.
Nearby, there's a panel boasting nine 17th-century Rembrandt etchings. Included are a portrait of the artist's mother and one of his many self-portraits, this one of Rembrandt as he sits drawing by a window. The most striking are two dark, densely detailed pieces dealing with religious themes -- The Circumcision in the Stable (1654) and the undated Flight into Egypt: Crossing a Brook -- and another larger religious work executed with a lighter touch, The Raising of Lazarus (1630). The remainder deal with more mundane subject matter, such as a landscape with a cow, a man weaving a cap, and golf and card players.
The real treasures among the big-name artists here are half a dozen Pissarros, not by the great Camille but by two lesser but noteworthy members of his large artistic dynasty. Paulemile, one of Camille's five sons, is represented by a lovely undated watercolor called The River Orne at the Moulin DeVey. And there are four pastels and an oil by Paulemile's son, H. Claude, who is now 67 years old and working out of his studio in France. They're painted in H. Claude's highly effective melding of figurative realism and impressionism, with Le Lac des Cygnes (2001) the standout, a delicate, wispy scene featuring a handful of people looking out over a railing at some swans.
The gallery also features pieces by some of its regulars: art glass by Dino Rosin, for instance, and large canvases of stylized, brightly colored figures by Hessam Abrishami. A handful of prints and frescoes are by Pakistani artist Jamali, who incorporates organic materials such as leaves and twigs into his work for texture, and some mixed-media canvases by Markus Billard, whose generally appealing, earthy, gestural brushwork sometimes backfires, as in Joan of Arc #2, which more or less reduces the French martyr to a big set of boobs.
Two of the gallery's most commanding pieces are also among its most mediocre. One is the Museum Guard that greets you near the entrance, and the other is The Safe Cracker, both life-size mixed-media pieces of the sort that made Duane Hanson famous. Their creator is Gary Mirabelle, and you don't have to be a huge Hanson fan (I'm not) to conclude that Mirabelle is no Hanson. (To his credit, Mirabelle has two much more impressive pieces elsewhere in the gallery: small, truncated, nude female torsos, one in something called "hydrastone" and another in mixed media with a black patina.)
New River also highlights a specific artist from time to time, and that slot is currently filled by the aforementioned Karen Stene, a Canadian who studied in Vancouver, British Columbia, and San Miguel, Mexico, before settling in Florida. As her work demonstrates, she's something of a vagabond who draws on her travels for her art. According to a Website biographical sketch, she sometimes travels on a sailboat she built herself.
Most of the dozen or so recent Stene pieces on display feature verandas, gazebos, and the like characterized by ornate columns, arches, and other architectural details. The artist is especially adept at conveying the effects of time and the elements on her settings. Usually a landscape looms in the background. Lush foliage overflows here and there.
Although the titles are too generic to indicate specific places -- Oasis, Quiet Sunrise, My Little Secret -- there's a distinct Mediterranean flavor at work in most of these images. A few, such as Bellissimo and Tuscan Rendezvous, are clearly inspired by Italy. If you're familiar with such Italian-set movies as Enchanted April and Kenneth Branagh's screen version of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, you've seen just the kind of vistas favored by Stene.
While most of Stene's pictures seem to pull us through the framing architecture and into those vineyards and hillsides beyond, occasionally the artist's focus remains on an interior. In Tuscan Rendezvous, for example, we can see a landscape through a background window, although our attention is drawn to an elegant fainting sofa draped with a deep-red robe and strewn with books. On the right side of the canvas is a battered sideboard on which sit more books, a bottle of wine, and a glass.

Problems setting up website with Joomla and ISPconfig
I followed the how to on setting up a website with joomla and ispconfig
after ' Step 6 Upload Joomla to your webserver:'
I get lost in translation so to speak could someone please help
and please don't speak to fast:confused:
I tried to combine the how to with the ubuntu swik but I had no success....
thanks in advance....
At Step 6 – "Upload Joomla to your webserver:"
You must simply upload your joomla site from your local desktop to your webspace by using the administrator FTP account for that website,
which you've defined already at step 2. You can do this with any FTP-client or Windows XP.
thanks for reacting....
I manually uploaded the folder Joomla_1.0.12-Stable-Full_Package_dutch.zip_FILES to /var/www/mywebsite.org
pointed the webbrowser mywebsite.org but I could not connect to it because it cannot be found....
I run debian etch are there more steps that I must take?
Where can I read more about ISPconfig or maybe another howto about Joomla on debian etch
thanks in advance
You have to upload the CONTENT of your Joomla folder on your local desktop to your webspace /var/www/webX/web NOT/var/www/webX.
Within your browser point to http://www.yourwebsite.tld/ where you should see the Joomla installation screen.
I get this error when I point my browser to the website
http://mywebsite.tld/ is just an example of course.
What is the real URL of your Joomla site?
thanks for reacting....
the URL of the Joomla website is
That's not your URL (see .tld) Top Level Domain.
Please, take the steps carefully as described within the Joomla howto.
It's not that hard ;)
Thanks for reacting....
I folowed the how to
did I miss something?
If so what should be my websites name keep in mind that I am new to Linux and that I would like to learn more about computer related info....
thanks in advance....
I realise that you're a beginner, but you must understand that i wrote the Joomla howto as easy as possible. With other words: I can not explain it better than within the howto.
Did you read the manuals at http://www.ispconfig.org already?
They help you to setup a client and a website with a MySQL database within ISPConfig.
Not Joomla related but, i want to know:
Did you register your domain name at your DNS-provider and is that domain name pointing to the IP-address of your server? If not, change the DNS-records for that domain name.

Snowball Fight, Anyone?
Lost Trail Pass at 4 p.m. Wednesday, September 25. Presented without comment. (MT Department of Transportation)
Lost Trail Pass at 4 p.m. Wednesday, September 25. Presented without comment. (MT Department of Transportation)
Old man winter is making an early visit to the mountains of western Montana.
Author and engineer Ted S. Hall is pretty sure he has walked in the tracks of Lewis and Clark.
The explorers came through the Bitterroot Valley in 1805 on their way to the Pacific Coast, and William Clark came back through the area on their way back to St
June 14, 2013 on Lost Trail Pass - just another day in paradise.
Fresh snow fell overnight on the pass at the south end of the Bitterroot Valley. It was enough to bring out a snowplow to clear the road
At the top of the pass, the dogs will be runnin' this weekend.
The 6th Annual Darby Dog Derby Sled Dog Race is Saturday and Sunday, right next to the Gibbons Pass Road #1260 at Lost Trail Pass.
Nicki Arndt of the Bitterroot Mushers expects a good group of races, with more sponsors this year and bigger cash prizes for competitors
KGVO News has learned that a small plane has crashed near the top of Lost Trail Pass after encountering bad weather conditions. Ravalli County Sheriff Chris Hoffman says the crash occurred sometime after 5pm on Friday. Hoffman says the pilot was the only occupant in the aircraft, and he was able to walk away from the wreckage.

The Uncertain Future Of Backyard News
A number of major newspapers have stopped the presses in recent years. Meanwhile, community journalism sites have sprung up from Seattle to Springfield. Media gurus declared "hyperlocalism" to be the future of journalism and a path for out-of-work reporters. A few big ticket news outfits took that bet, including AOL, which launched Patch.com in 2010. A few years on, hyper-local phenomenon takes many forms, with differing degrees of success. AOL reported losing $147 million dollars on Patch in 2011, so maybe news of town hall meetings, police blotter reports, and high school sports might not be as bankable as once thought.
Janet Stilson, is freelance writer and contributor to Adweek where she wrote about challenges facing digital community news.

MADURAI: When frequent road accidents were reported involving students, the Principal of this college had no other option but to make insurance cover mandatory for admission.
Yadava College located on the Madurai-Natham Road here has brought 2,224 students, including girls, under a group insurance scheme with an annual premium of Rs. 98. In case of road accidents, the students will be eligible for medical assistance upto Rs. 35,000.
Though the initiative had some resistance from those who did not own two-wheelers, the benefits of the scheme were realised when two students who travelled by bus suffered serious injuries in freak accidents. One student fell from a moving bus and suffered a spinal injury last year. He was admitted to a private hospital where the insurance money came handy.
Pat from NAAC
"The scheme came in for appreciation when a peer team of the National Accreditation and Assessment Committee (NAAC) visited the college. This was one of the reasons why we got `A' grading. A majority of our students come from rural areas and are poor," says Principal G. Thiruvasagam.
Every student is given a card containing his/her insurance policy details, identification and address. "In the event of an accident, we've advised our students to get admitted in the best hospital and inform the insurance firm within 24 hours. We've also arranged for issuing driving licence to students at the college. The first batch of 135 students got their learner's licence recently."
The Yadava College is perhaps the first institution in this part of the State to introduce an insurance plan to students. The results are encouraging, making the exercise worthy of emulation by other colleges.

Baseball HQ: Stretch-run targets
Updated: August 23, 2007, 7:36 PM ETBy Ray Murphy | Baseball HQ
With five-plus weeks left in the season, even a small boost from a minor roster move can have a meaningful impact on your final standing. But that help can be hard to find. Here are a collection of options, all off-the-radar to some degree, who may be cheaply or freely available to you and might be able to offer that much-needed boost. For the shopper's convenience, we will group them by position.
Infielders• Tony Graffanino's knee injury earned Rickie Weeks a quick recall from his Triple-A exile, but he's showing little sign of shaking off his slump. With Milwaukee under increasing pressure in the NL Central, Craig Counsell should start to see more ABs. Counsell has not done much this year, but he owns a good historical OBP+speed combo, and he should get an opportunity to display that over the season's final six weeks.

If anyone has time, I'd be interested in seeing primary vs secondary - or how ICT spending actually transfers to grades (or not).
I know these are actually DFE figures as supplied by the schools, but I doubt their accuracy - we spend double on ICT than we reported to the DFE? How do you fair?

Worth a look, you can also compare spending, staff numbers, results with your local (soon to be rival) schools.

The Knicks will likely end this season with more national television appearances than victories. Thats already a given for the Lakers.
Nobody feels sorry for these teams since they have huge economic advantages over most of the competition. In fact, I think theres a lot of schadenfreude going on, as far as people reveling in the Knicks dysfunction and the Lakers slew of injuries.
But again its not good for business when teams from the two biggest markets arent just bad, theyre gruesome. The league has no special responsibility to help out (no, I dont believe David Stern grabbed some frozen envelope that sent Patrick Ewing to the Knicks in 1985) but these franchises need a quick makeover.
My money is on the Lakers to make it back first.
Yes, theyll finish with a worse record than the Knicks. But the Lakers have two things the Knicks do not: Certainty that their star is staying around and immediate payroll flexibility.
Kobe Bryant signed an extension through the end of the 2015-16 season. You can debate whether Bryants injuries this season will make him worth $23.5 million next season and $25 million the following one. But if anyone has the persistence to get back to form after two leg injuries, its Bryant.
The Lakers are committed to only about $36 million in salary next season against a projected cap of $62 million. The Lakers will always be an appealing destination for free agents. Its questionable whether Steve Nash will be worth $9.7 million next season, but the Lakers might already have his replacement in Kendall Marshall at under $1 million next season.
Now compare that to the Knicks: Theyre stuck for over $90 million in salary next season, most of it among three players: Amare Stoudemire ($23.4 million), Carmelo Anthony ($23.3 million) and the absurdly overpaid Andrea Bargnani ($11.5 million).
Anthonys contract gives him all sorts of opportunities to bolt. While the rules permit the Knicks to offer him by far the most in his next contract, if winning a title really does matter to Melo, he must ask whether the Knicks are the best spot for what figures to be the last third of his pro career.
It was telling recently when the New York media asked center Tyson Chandler whether he wanted to be back and he expressed misgivings. Take rim-protector Chandler off the Knicks and a bad defense becomes toothless.
The New York tabloids devote a lot of space to which glamorous free agents might be attracted to the Knicks in the summer of 2016. I grew up watching the NBA played in Madison Square Garden; I get the appeal. I also appreciate the dollars owner Jim Dolan can spread around any negotiating table.
But you cant view the Knicks implosion this season without thinking theres a problem endemic to the organization. Until that gets fixed, a Kevin Love, a Chris Bosh, a Rajon Rondo would have to be wary of coming aboard.
Five passing thoughts on the Bobcats and the NBA:
• I dont know where the Bobcats Steve Clifford will fit on my Coach of the Year ballot, but Im confident he belongs there. Clifford has done so many things well this season. The latest came Wednesday when he volunteered that if anyone is to blame for LeBron James offensive explosion, it was him, not Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. That breeds loyalty.
• People have asked me if I think the Bobcats could catch the Brooklyn Nets for sixth place in the East. Frankly, I think the Nets have played so well of late I wouldnt be shocked if they passed the Toronto Raptors for the Atlantic Division title.
• Speaking of Coach of the Year, Phoenixs Jeff Hornacek and Chicagos Tom Thibodeau have to be great candidates, too. Everything thats happened to the Bulls (Derrick Roses injury, trading Luol Deng in a salary dump) just rolls off that teams back because of the tone Thibs sets.
• I have mixed emotions about the Golden State Warriors advancing deep into the playoffs. Happy for Stephen Curry, but it really messes up my sleep patterns in May and potentially June. Cant-miss TV.
• Seems like there might be some serious shakeup in the Central Division over the summer. Detroit, Cleveland and Milwaukee all expected to be a lot better than they have performed. The Bucks arent tanking, they just got injured so severely at the start of the season that they never had a chance.

Ann Romney clutches pearls, pretends to be outraged (Jeff Haynes/Reuters)

It was so offensive that Ann had to start a Twitter account, just to express her offendedness. That's how offended she was.
