AWESOME!!! That seemed to fix things. This sums up my problem with installing. When the manual gets to the package disk it is vauge how to install the programs AND what is on the disk to install. I still don't know what I might have missed during the install during that end phase.
During install it did mention something about no JDK or JAVA_HOME. Not sure what that is about, but the program I wanted to use seemed to work.Ack!
- 03-23-2005 #4
to see what programs are available via emerge and what programs you have installed try this command:
as root: emerge --search <whateveryouwant>
for example: emerge --search java
this will display all relevant entries with java in them such as sun-java and others. Hope this helps.All right, brain. You don't like me and I don't like you, but let's just do this and I can get back to killing you with beer. All New Users Read This!!! If you have a grub problem please look at GRUB MANUAL

I have installed a small flagstone area in front of my terrace. Now I'm looking to plant a few bushes or some other kind of plant with big gorgeous leaves or whatever plant that would look nice flowing over the stones, as I really like the lush effect it creates. The plant should also grow big enough to provide some privacy but be only moderately sized(as I don't want to block vision over rest of the garden).
I have very little knowledge on plants so any suggestions are appreciated! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Forgot to add that the plants will be exposed to a lot of sun and four seasons. |
What size bed are planning? What zone are you in? Can you post pictures of the area? |
Hostas Hollies Yews It all depends on what you have for climate and soil and solar exposure. What else will these plants be doing for you in regards to traffic control, safety, or controlling a view? |

Where do you live? Hostas, hollies, and yews will not survive where I live. |
- Posted by isabella__ma z5_MA (My Page) on Wed, Jun 2, 10 at 5:06
Those plants will survive and flourish here in the NE USA, but it depends on your climate zone, as to which plants will work best. |

1 Henry IV Synopsis
« return to previous page
Henry IV, Part 1
bas relief
King Henry IV
of England, formerly called Henry Bolingbroke, makes plans to set up a Crusade to the Holy Land. He is troubled by the fact that he was responsible for Richard II's murder and that some of the nobles who helped him depose Richard II are now threatening his authority. Plans are interrupted by the news that
Harry Percy
, nicknamed
, has defeated the rebellious Scottish nobleman, Douglas, but refuses to relinquish his hostages into King Henry's custody. Henry argues with Hotspur and his father, the
Earl of Northumberland
, over the hostages, and realizes that Hotspur is withholding his prisoners in hopes of gaining a ransom for his brother-in-law Mortimer, whom Henry considers a threat. The king refuses to grant this ransom. Hotspur and his father see Henry now turning against their family, treating them unfairly after their help in his ascension to the crown. They plot to start a rebellion.
Prince Harry
, nicknamed Hal, jokes about his future kingship at the Boar's Head Tavern with his friend
Sir John Falstaff
, a corpulent knight of questionable integrity, who amuses himself by telling increasingly outrageous tales of his valour. When news of the rebellion comes from Court, Hal and Falstaff enact a scene in which Falstaff, as King Henry, scolds Hal for not fulfilling his duties as prince. Hal leaves the tavern to return to Court, promising to assign Falstaff a regiment of foot soldiers in the upcoming campaign.
Back at Court, King Henry scolds Hal for his disreputable antics. However, earlier in the play, Hal has revealed that his reckless behavior is an act; having established a tarnished reputation, he intends, when the time is right, to reform himself and take up his place as a deserving prince and heir to the throne.
As the rebellion moves forward, Hotspur's uncle,
, meets with the king and again explains the rebels' grievances. Hal proposes to meet Hotspur in single combat in the hope of avoiding excessive fatalities on the battlefield. Worcester, doubtful of the king's promise to pardon if the rebels surrender, insists that Hotspur is not told about the offer of single combat. The battle between King Henry's army and the rebel forces begins. The confrontation between Hal and Hotspur at the Battle of Shrewsbury brings a dramatic conclusion to the play.

POSTED: Saturday, March 19, 2011 - 3:25pm
UPDATED: Sunday, March 20, 2011 - 10:42pm
March 19, 2011 — COVINGTON, LA (NBC33) - St. Paul's School in Covington held their second annual Crawfish Cook-Off on March 19.
It was a beautiful day at St. Paul's, filled with space walks, live bands, and of course, all the crawfish you could eat.
Thirty teams competed to be Crawfish Cook-Off champion, but the people that bought tickets to the event were the real winners.
All the proceeds went to Hope House, a charity benefitting abused children, and Cook-Off Chairman Chris Freret said he couldn't have asked for a better day.
"The first thing is, everybody has fun, I mean if you like to boil crawfish, you like to drink beer, you like a pretty day, you can't beat it", says Freret. "But yes, we want to raise money and give back to the community that St. Paul's has been a part of for over 100 years."

Workshop to Propose Primitive Paddle-In Campsites on Lake Red Rock Water Trail
Posted: 01/11/2013
DES MOINES - A workshop to discuss adding paddle-in campsites on the Lake Red Rock Water Trail is scheduled for 7 p.m., Jan. 17, in the Wallace State Office Building Auditorium, 502 East 9th Street, in Des Moines.
Last year, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation and the Red Rock Lake Association created the first paddle in campground in Iowa, the Hickory Ridge Wilderness Camp on Lake Red Rock.
This site has been used extensively by paddlers demonstrating a demand for primitive paddle-in camping opportunities. The Corps is reviewing their 25-year master plan for Lake Red Rock and has expressed interest in potentially developing similar sites.
Proposed sites would provide unique opportunities from individuals wanting a chance to paddle away from it all, to smaller groups getting geared up for a trip to the Boundary Waters.
Interested paddlers are encouraged to attend this workshop.
The workshop is organized by David Oliver and Diane Michaud Lowry, both from Ames, who assisted with the initial Lake Red Rock Water Trail designation.

JACKSON, Wyo. — Wyoming wind energy must be marketed properly to skeptical Californians in order to capitalize on the Golden State's strict renewable-energy laws, according to a panel of energy experts.
The panelists addressed 60 people gathered in Jackson on Tuesday for a meeting of the Wyoming Infrastructure Authority, a quasi-governmental state agency that's tasked to diversify and expand Wyoming's economy through electric transmission infrastructure.
Wyoming state government could earn new revenue from selling more wind power to California. Typically, California homes, businesses and industries use 30,000 megawatts of electricity.
Peak hours
During peak times, that increases to 50,000 MW, said Jeff Harris, a water and energy lawyer for Sacramento-based Ellison, Schneider and Harris LLP.
By 2020, 33 percent of all electricity purchased by large power companies will have to come from renewable-energy sources, according to California state law. The so-called renewables portfolio standard is one of the nation's most aggressive, according to the California Public Utilities Commission.
"We do need your megawatts," Harris said about Wyoming wind. "Southern California is in trouble both long-term and short-term. Don't forget we get about 40 percent of our (natural) gas in Wyoming."
Two myths
Wind developers need to erase two myths that exist in California, Harris said: That Wyoming wind will supplant California wind, and that Wyoming wind is as unreliable as California wind.
It's important for wind developers to realize that California wind will always be preferred to Wyoming wind, he added.
"We're very protectionist," Harris said.
The opportunity for Wyoming wind comes in the afternoons on hot days.
Solar energy is California is generated from noon to 3 p.m., when the sun is strongest. After that, wind energy is necessary.
At 5 p.m. on business days, there are peaks on electricity usage because air conditioners and computers are still running in offices. But in houses, air conditioners are programmed to begin running to cool the house down for the occupants, Harris said.
"California has never produced the energy needed to power the state," said Jesus Arredondo, principal of Advantage Consulting LLC of Sacramento, which specializes in energy policy. "Never."
Arredondo said it's likely that the California State Assembly will increase the renewables portfolio standard to 40 percent.
Arredondo rattled off a handful of bills that are going through the full-time California Legislature that are being amended to increase the portfolio standard, and said Gov. Jerry Brown would be supportive. "Will the governor push to 40 percent?" he said. "I think he will. I think he's already actively doing that."

Something is eating my tomato plant! From looking on the forum I'm thinking it might be a hornworm but I haven't seen any lurking around -
just their destruction! This morning my tomato plant leaves were stripped and underneath the plant are green segmented pilings. Is this plant done for? Will it re-grow leaves? Should I pull it out or start overwith a healthier plant? (This seems to be the only one affected but it's a different variety from the others.)  |
Here is a link that might be useful: My cinder block garden
Follow-Up Postings:
Unless you have deer in the backyard it looks like more than one hornworm has been working on that one. I'd put in a new plant and learn how to spot hornworms for future reference. Dave |
That stinky little critter was there all along! I just went out in the garden and checked after looking up pics of a hornworm and he was there eating the underside of the branch - camoglaged! Then I checked one of my original pictures and he was on there when I took the pic - I just never saw him! Gardening isn't for the squeemish. I smashed that Big 'ol fat stinker!! UGH! |

Wow! Ugh! Makes me want to go inspect all of my tomato plants!! I had some teeny little quarter of an inch long caterpillars destroy my spearmint overnight. So annoying! Go away buggies!!! (Except the good guys, of course.) :) |
They are what they eat - in color, at least. Makes them impossible to spot sometimes. The frass is darker green, gives them away. |
How are you guys posting pictures? |
The green segmented pilings are the remains of your tomato...after digestion by the caterpillar. Next time keep a close eye out for the eggs and the small cats before they have time to get so big. |
- Posted by missingtheobvious Blue Ridge 7a (My Page) on Sun, May 6, 12 at 14:21
Hormworm eggs are pearly (sometimes slightly green) and laid singly on the underside of tomato leaves. |
EEEEWWWW! Whenever I have hormworms, I make my husband kill them. It's a lot of laughs. He takes two 1x2's about 6 feet long and disposes of them by whacking them between the two stakes. Even he can't stand to get near them. However, I am getting good at crushing lily leaf beetles in my fingers. They are so bad that I am getting rid of more and more of my lilies. I really am tired of looking for them every day. Keski |
The good news is that the plants should recover. It takes a lot to kill a tomato. They won't be overly HAPPY about it, but they should live. And for finding hornworms, they fluoresce under blacklight just like scorpions. Get a handheld blacklight and go out at night to look for them and they'll stand out like, well, a glow in the dark bug. |

Tattoo Nation director Eric Schwartz on the oral history of the Chicano black-and-grey art form
When Denver-based fine-art photographer Eric Schwartz set out to photograph people with tattoos, he didn't expect to find a detailed history underneath the artwork. After a chance meeting with California tattoo legend Edward "Chuco" Caballero at a national tattoo show, the story for Schwartz's first film, Tattoo Nation, began to reveal itself -- the documentary profiles some of the biggest artists and tattoo recipients to come out of the the early Los Angeles-based, Chicano black-and-grey tattoo scene. tattoonation.com The first home of Tattooland on Whittier Boulevard in East Los Angeles, 1978.
In advance of Tattoo Nation showing at two theaters in Denver this Thursday, April 4, Schwartz spoke with Westword on how the photography project became a film, and the people he met along the way.

Westword: Why did you start taking photos of people with tattoos in the first place?
Eric Schwartz: I'm a fine-art photographer and about seven or eight years ago, I noticed that more people were getting tattoos; I just noticed more of them around me, and I found it really curious. So I spoke to some of them and very quickly, I learned that people who take tattoos seriously are thoughtful people. I would never, ever have guessed what [the imagery] meant to them. I learned that all of my preconceptions were totally wrong.
The earlier pieces started out with me photographing them and then doing something with text -- it would be part of the interview that I had with them. It was a two-step process for the artwork. I just became fascinated with it. I'm coming from a fine-arts background, and they were so honest and pure that it was amazing to me. What was really interesting to me was how these people were artists in their own right -- even though they would hire artists, they were just like a director of a film.
I became interested in the relationship between the artist and the person getting tattooed, the imagery, the motivation. I thought, this is an interesting subject -- and it just kept evolving as I was photographing people. I went to a big tattoo show out in California and saw this amazing work on this guy coming down an aisle; it was just purely serendipitous. I saw these incredible portraits on this guy's legs and I just stopped him; I said, you have to talk to me. By this time, I had seen a number of tattoos, but I was just literally blown away. It was like looking at photographs.
His name was Chuco (Edward "Chuco" Caballero) and he's in the film. There was an extraordinary conceptual nature to what he was doing. On one leg, he had all of these actors who played gangsters -- he had Marlon Brando, Joe Pesci, Al Pacino. On the other leg, he had pictures of the actual gangsters, which I thought was amazing. One side of his body was Western Catholic imagery and the other side was Aztec, and across his chest had to do with Mexico. It was the story of his life and his influences and his family. It was amazing to me and I realized I had stumbled onto something that was really, truly different.
I grew to learn about the Chicano black and grey tattoo art that he was part of -- that's how Tattoo Nation started.

Lance Cpl. William Taylor Wild IV, 21, joined in 2010. His mother Elizabeth Wild said he was in a weapons platoon and scheduled to deploy in November. She said he always wanted to go into the military like his father, who was command chief in the Air Force Reserve at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware. Taylor seemed to be born for the Corps, talking since age 5 of being a Marine. He was planning to be married in May.
Aaron Ripperda, 26, joined the military after graduation from culinary school and was unable to find employment. He said he felt called to join the Marines.
Pfc. Josh Martino spent nearly half his lifetime dreaming of becoming one of "The Few. The Proud." He also planned a summer wedding.
Marine veteran Guy Henry Woods said, "It mattered not whether these Marines died here at home by accident or on a distant battlefield — they put on that uniform and receive the same respect as if anybody that's at war."
Eight others were wounded when a mortar exploded during a live-fire training exercise at an Army munitions depot in the Navada desert.
Joy Hardin gave the Indian report with a summary of Zonnie Gorman's historial/lecture at Cleveland State Community College on April 4. Her father Carl Gorman was one of the first 29 Navajo Indians who enlisted in the Marine Corps and devised the initial Navajo Code during World War II. Zonnie is the youngest sister of a legendary and renowned Navajo artist, the late R.C. Gorman. The Navajo language itself is difficult and only those who learned the code could tell what was being said. The military needed a code the Japanese could not understand and while preparing for entry into the war, the code talkers were not allowed to take notes. They went in just a few weeks after Pearl Harbor.
More and more Navajos were recruited as the war went on. At the height of the war there were as many as 400 Navajos. Many people only heard this story in the movie "Windtalkers." Sending a message and deciphering it with a machine might have taken an hour or 40 minutes but with this system, it might be sent in as few as 30 seconds. The Navajo code was never broken until 1968 when it was declassified.
Ann Cherry presented the conservation report on water. Several states already have water problems. She noted Tennessee residents' seeing so much water can't imagine a water problem. She suggested native plants, rain gardens and eliminating the use of garbage disposals in order to save water.
Jane Lucchesi gave an update on the SETVH committee meeting with veterans home being No. 6 on the national list. One other home is ahead of Tennessee.
Thanks were given to Jeannine Scott for the gift from Scott's Furniture to be presented at the SETVH up-coming golf tournament July 1.
Mariann Dietrich introduced speaker Eric Hughey, Fort Loudoun director, who in British Officer Uniform, spoke of the Fort activities during 1756-1760. Many questions were asked about women's roles during this period.
After the discussion of laundry and overall personal hygiene at that time, members were ready to do as he suggested: "go home and kiss your washing machines." His presentation was informative as well as humorous.
Regent Foster read the President Generals message which mentioned July's Continental Congress and that the Lay-Light project (library ceiling) may be completed before July Congress.
Tennessee Society Daughters of the American Revolution presented more than $40,000 to this project. Continental Hall is the largest building solely owned by women in the United States and is available for use by Washington, D.C., leaders.
Foster also read the secretary's report in the absence of Mildred Maupin and the treasurer's report in the absence of Ellen McReynolds.
A notice from the Elks Lodge was read in reference to upcoming events.

Have added fourteen of the Documentaries I have watched and liked. Am looking for other recommendations to watch.
98 Comments
Wow, a LOT of recommendations to process. Will go through them soon, probably tomorrow, and update the list.
I second Night and Fog. Harrowing of course but absolutely essential viewing.
Have added all the films mentioned (and there were a LOT). Thanks for all the suggestions folks. This will keep me going for quite a while.
I'm really glad Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles has been added. I absolutely LOVE that film. Another great real life, 'truth is stranger than fiction' mystery is The Imposter. Due for release soon (I saw it at a festival) and totally compelling.
Watched Hoop Dreams. Good stuff!
If you like sports documentaries, the ESPN mini-series Black Magic about the intersection between African American college basketball players and the Civil Rights Era is excellent.
Watched One Day In September. Very Good!
Side By Side is a great movie that looks into the Film vs Digital debate.
Also, the ESPN 30 for 30: Winning Time (Reggie Miller vs the New York Knicks) is the most entertaining one I saw.
Don't look down

How did the Screen Actors Guild results affect this year's Oscar race? Let's go category by category.
Best Cast
As the only SAG nominee to snag a Best Picture Oscar nod, No Country for Old Men was certainly the movie to beat for the night's ultimate prize. That one of the bigger hits in the category (Hairspray, American Gangster) wasn't able to upset it only strengthens its Oscar chances.
Best Actor
In a tight race, SAG voters often go with the more commercial choice (American Beauty's Annette Bening over Boys Don't Cry's Hilary Swank, for instance). As with Best Cast, however, they chose a contender with lower box office: There Will Be Blood's Daniel Day-Lewis. Can anyone beat him? His gracious acceptance speech may have sealed the deal.
Best Actress
Given Little Miss Sunshine's success at the SAG Awards last year, I thought Juno's Ellen Page might have a shot over Julie Christie. But the Away From Her star's victory only increased her lead in the overall race. Perhaps Juno's best shot will be for Diablo Cody's screenplay.
Best Supporting Actor
No Country's brilliant Javier Bardem won. This race is now officially a yawn.
Best Supporting Actress
Finally, a race with some excitement. After Gone Baby Gone's Amy Ryan won the Critics' Choice Award and I'm Not There's Cate Blanchett picked up the Golden Globe, 83-year-old Ruby Dee scored a SAG win with her minutes-long performance in American Gangster. SAG voters might have been going for the career-achievement thing with this one, so Dee isn't necessarily the Oscar front-runner now. But it's the most even major race this year.

His name is R.G. Wolfe and I was intrigued by his work, not because it was a stellar piece of art, but because of its message. Someone that day told me there was a gentleman (Mr. Wolfe) who had created a grid of letters, like a crossword puzzle and my name was included in it.
Of course, that piqued my interest! Mr. Wolfe's creation did indeed contain my name, but along with it, other "buzzwords" and personalities associated with the Greenway.
During the course of our conversation, I learned Mr. Wolfe had only recently discovered the benefits and rewards of walking on the Greenway. He purchased a space, not to compete as an artist, but to pay tribute to our Greenway.
At the bottom of his square that day he "chalked" the following poem, which he composed especially for that day. I have been writing this column since 2010 and have never been able to capture the essence of the Greenway quite like Mr. Wolfe has done.
If you were not able to view his artwork before it was washed away by Mother Nature, allow me to share it here:
"Take a walk along the way,
Listen what the hikers say.
It's a healthy place for sun,
Lose some pounds when you are done.
You'll see nature at its best,
While amid it, stop to rest.
Smell the blooms and hear the brook,
Take the time to hone your look.
Birds and bees go flitting by,
Dogs and cats will catch your eye.
Hopping bunnies nibble grass,
Look, a sign on how to pass.
Suntanned bikers whiz by fast,
Give them room as they go past.
Baby buggies take it slow,
Oft with puppies in their tow.
Greenway users like to boast,
Bragging up what they like most.
It's the beauty of the walk,
That's the topic of their talk.
Also great is healthy gain,
Never mind if you feel pain.
It will usually go away,
If you walk it every day."
Mr. Wolfe's poem touches nearly every facet of why we love the Greenway. He found a way to incorporate the Greenway's beauty, including the sounds of Mouse Creek, assorted bird, plant and animal life.
He addressed the health aspects, from losing weight to riding a bicycle. He mentions the people of all ages, and the conversations he has had that I'm sure inspired him. He even found a way to invite you to sit on one of the many benches along the way to take it all in.
As you read the poem, I hope you were reminded, as I was, of the benefits of having the Greenway in our community. Thank you, R.G. Wolfe!

The Goldwater Institute, a conservative public policy research organization, is blasting the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office for falling short in its three core missions: law-enforcement services, support services and detention.
Reasonable Doubt: A look into Arpaio's immigration campaign
The scathing 22-page report, titled "Mission Unaccomplished: The Misplaced Priorities of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office," is unexpected largely because of its source.
The Goldwater Institute is an independent, non-partisan organization that studies and broadens public policy discussion. The organization promotes limited government, economic freedom and individual responsibility, principals that were advocated by Republican stalwart and Arizona icon Sen. Barry Goldwater.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio and his public relations staff usually dismiss criticism of the Sheriff's Office as complaints by a conspiracy of "open-border" advocates, Democratic elected officials and "liberal" media members.
"Although MCSO is adept at self-promotion and is unquestionably a 'tough' law-enforcement agency, under its watch violent crime rates recently have soared, both in absolute terms and relative to other jurisdictions," Goldwater Institute researcher Clint Bolick wrote.
"It has diverted resources away from basic law-enforcement functions to highly publicized immigration sweeps, which are ineffective in policing illegal immigration and in reducing crime granularly."
Arpaio said Tuesday that he had not read the Goldwater report, nor did he intend to read it. Arpaio said Bolick failed to ask Arpaio's opinion about the findings before publishing the report.
"So he's getting his stuff from the open-border people," Arpaio said. "He can't even come up with a new idea. He has to copy everybody else, including your newspaper. That's my response to him."
The report, according to extensive footnotes, is based on information drawn from several media outlets -- including the Tribune's July investigative series "Reasonable Doubt" -- a variety of federal and local government agencies including the FBI and MCSO, and original research such as an interview with an anonymous MCSO deputy, among other sources.
The Goldwater report faults MCSO for several "misplaced priorities" that have diverted Arpaio's agency from its intended law-enforcement functions. Among them:
• Extensive trips by MCSO officials to Honduras for purposes that are "nebulous at best."
• Misguided spending that created a financial crisis in 2007.
• A "huge" backlog of outstanding arrest warrants.
• The closure of satellite booking facilities, an action that has hindered other law-enforcement agencies.
• Excessive use of force and inadequate medical services at county jails.
• Chronically poor record-keeping and statistics reporting.
• Resistance to public disclosure.
The report notes that the massive diversion of resources into policing illegal immigration – largely into cities such as Mesa and Phoenix that already have police departments – coincided with increasing rates of violent crime in unincorporated Maricopa County, plummeting arrest rates by deputies and increased response times to 911 calls in MCSO's service regions.
The report, by intent, sidesteps the policy question of whether MCSO should be in the business of enforcing immigration or whether deputies engage in racial profiling, Bolick said.
"That's perhaps what makes this report different than other critiques that have come out," he said. "We are not differing with the Sheriff's Office in how it sees its mission. We are taking its mission as a given and finding that the office is not measuring up to its own standards."
The Goldwater Institute instigated its research early this year after a series of high-profile clashes between the Sheriff's Office and the Mesa and Phoenix police departments during immigration sweeps, Bolick said.
The report finds that the sweeps took place with little advance notice and virtually no coordination with the municipal police departments, a practice that endangered both residents and law officers alike.
The result of the Sheriff's Office's venture into "high-profile, extremely expensive, yet low-yielding immigration sweeps" has undermined its effectiveness in its core law-enforcement duties.
Mesa Police Department sergeant and Mesa Police Association president Fabian Cota said the report addresses serious issues.
"With the amount of money that the Sheriff's Office is spending, it's just mind-boggling to me that their accounting and their accountability to the taxpayers is just abominable," he said.
The institute did not release its before Arpaio won re-election to his fifth four-year term in November because it wasn't finished, Bolick said.
The report makes several recommendations aimed at improving the safety of county residents including restricting MCSO operations in cities that have their own police departments, delegating MCSO as the primary agency in serving warrants and requiring MCSO to reopen its satellite booking stations.
County Supervisor Mary Rose Wilcox, a Democrat and frequent Arpaio critic, said she also plans to give the report a careful review because it delves into issues that have received considerable public attention in recent months.
"You don't have to be liberal or you don't have to be conservative, you just have to look at human rights," Wilcox said.
Bolick said he is hopeful that the incoming new U.S. Attorney will examine the "whole set of issues" surrounding the Sheriff's Office, including operation of county jails.
A federal investigation already is underway.
An FBI spokesman could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
Agent John Lewis, who is in charge of the FBI's Phoenix bureau, previously has declined comment on the matter, in keeping with the FBI's policy to neither confirm nor deny any possible investigation.
Arpaio referred questions about the matter to the FBI. "I'm telling you to call the FBI. What are you calling me for? If they're supposed to be investigating me, call them," he said.
Arpaio said he has nothing to fear from the FBI nor the U.S. Justice Department, and that he is comfortable with the policies he's pursuing. Arpaio strongly encouraged anyone with complaints about his agency to contact the FBI.

I am a married, full-time mother of three and live up in the mountains near Salt Lake City, Utah. I love to cook almost as much as I love to eat!
Don't ask me to bake though, I am a horrendous baker. Twice a year my husband comes home from work, smells the house and says "oh, you burnt cookies today!" And he isn't kidding. Awful.
If I had to live off of just one food, it would be Uncle Jerry's Pretzels. No question.
I also love anything spicy, salty and/or savory - spicy tuna rolls, anything with nam pla in it, gazpacho, hot and sour soup, potstickers, tabouli, chips and salsa etc.
The best meal I have ever had was at Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence, Italy. That meal was absolutely perfect.

As much as any woman hates to see her man jobless and to know her man is lounging at home while she's at work, here's your chance to exercise understanding. Honestly, it's rough for a man to not be the head of household, so don't highlight that he's not working.

WIne Blog – Today's events
Its been a busy day what with our regular Saga wine tasting up at the Pavillion in Enbrook Park. As always we have a great time with some great people over the lunch break. Our sales manager Richard was his usual exuberant self telling all those who came along about our very special wines made naturally and with minimal intervention so none of those awful chemicals from the New World thank you.
Afterwards we delivered to one of our favourite customers in Ashford Leaf Lounge who always give us such a welcome when we arrive with wines to replace the depleted stocks. There's a customer that has seen how trade has grown since stocking some good quality value for money wine instead of the horrible stuff they previously sold as supplied by one of those big wholesalers who shall be nameless. Well done Leaf Lounge and thank you. Finally to Kevin at oneonetwo wines. A man who knows a lot about wines and who has been buying for some time. Kevin has an eye for quality wine.
So its another week of supplying our family of customers and we thank you all. Cheers.

SFAT (Security Forces Assistance Team)
I am attempting to find any information concerning these newly formed FSF-TT (Foreign Security Force - Training Team). I've called random contacts down at the 162nd @ Polk to little / no avail. I have the option to stay at my current unit (Light Infantry) and deploy with them as a member of this team. What I don't want to be doing is staying in the rear strictly training / organizing forces, rather than training in addition to advising the ANA whilst on patrol, forward deployed. Any information would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. Basically, my last tour we experienced both ends of the spectrum. First 6 months we had Marine ETT's...good dudes. We could go into the valley and do a clearance while the USMC/ANA conducted a KLE...two separate autonomous units that could successfully do two separate acitivties at the same time. Ganjagal happened, Marines peaced out and we were then "partnered". Combined patrols decreased to maybe one every two weeks (in part due to kinetcs / korengal closure), and when they did combine with us, they left when it was time to play and our combat power was halved. PVT Snuffy, who knows only call of duty and MTV, is buddied up with PVT Ahmed, who knows only hasheesh and war...sufficed to say not much progress was made. Anyone else have a similar experience?

SFA-T Info
As one of the first SFA Teams currently being used IAW the Army's vision, I have a wealth of knowledge for you and others that will be receiving orders soon. Rather than vomit alot of information on this first reply, I'd rather you ask specific questions to ease my typing load... So... with that being said, whatcha wanna know? |

Please send a link to any papers or articles that accurately describe the current SFAT concept (to minimize your typing). First set of questions: - What is the selection and training process for the SFATs? - What is the rank structure? If you do have E-3s and below, are they value added, or are both the E-3s and below and the partnered force being hurt? I am suggesting that perhaps E-3s and below in this role are missing key professional development opportunities as members of a squad or section. Hard to teach with confidence without personal experience. - Are the SFATs meant to be enduring, or are they adhoc teams that form for one mission, and when the mission is complete do they disband and the soldiers return to the ranks? - What did you see as the biggest success of the program? The biggest failure? - If you were king for a day, what three changes (if any) would you impliment to improve SFAT concept? |

My two cents
First, thanks for the questions. I truly want to help others understand the dynamic of this new concept. I was absolutely clueless when I was first informed of this mission and had to feel my way through- up until now. Second, I'm sorry to say I'm nowhere close to an academic so my responses might not be as "scholarly" as a typical reader may be accustomed to. Lastly, I'll say this truly is a thankless job and has been by far my most challenging assignment, being the first one away from the troops that is. I will also add, the context of my writing is of my own opinion and does not reflect the opinions of other SFA-T members across the Army. So let's begin… Quote:
The training process included training we conducted ourselves at home station and JRTC. While at JRTC we attended the Advisor Academy ran by the 162nd INF BDE. It was ten days in duration which was acceptable. My only issue with the AA was the generalities of Advising in Afghanistan. If I had it to do over again I would want region specific training. Quote:
With all that being said, the two man team TO&E was not followed. Our BDE leadership broke us down into eight, six man teams. Two teams would be assigned to the OCC-P/Rs -- I'm not 100 percent sure what the OCC-P stands for but I'm inclined to believe it's Operation Coordination Center-Provincial/Regional. The other four, six man teams were assigned to specific ANA/AUP/ABP units. I will attach the modified TO&E as well. Quote:
With help from the big guy, I will assume a 1SG position when the deployment is over and all but a few Officers will move back to the units they came from or to a new unit. 98 percent of the Officers assigned for this mission are TDY. All of the NCO's are PCS'd into our current unit and will fill PSG/1SG/SGM slots upon redeployment. Quote:
Before this mission, Counterinsurgency was a word I had heard from Field Grades and alike. Now I truly understand and practice it every single day. Further, I can use my own team's success as an example. To make a long story short, you couldn't pry my boss and his counterpart Kandak CDR apart with a crow bar. Those two are inseparable. I can honestly say, that our team has made one hell of a lasting impact on at least one Infantry Kandak in the Region. And for lack of better terms, you can't buy that with any amount of Government funds. Failures: I wouldn't say there are any failures. There are many things we could do better but failure is a strong word. In a few, blunt words: The Selection Process must be improved; DA must narrow down the selection criteria in order to select the right Officers and NCOs for this challenging role. Quote:
2. I think SFA should be centrally controlled by USASOC or at least have oversight ; they are the experts in what we do here. 3. SFA should not be an adhoc organization every BCT should have a dedicated SFA company with its own METL, Property Book, and CoC—heck, maybe even its own branch. I'll look through my collection unclassified write-ups on SFA to share with the group. If you have other specific questions please send them my way. If I don't have the answer I'll ask someone smarter than me....there's plenty of those guys around. Last edited by davidbfpo; 02-13-2012 at 12:08 PM. Reason: Questions in quotes |

Thanks for your detailed and insightful response, I found it helpful in assessing how the GPF is approaching this. To be frank it is better than I suspected. Your comment here speaks to your success in my opinion: Quote:

Just Say'n
The Army announced today a new mission to meet requirements in Afghanistan. Four brigade combat teams (BCTs), one separate brigade and an Army command, each in a modified configuration, will deploy between April and August 2012. Approximately 1,460 active component officers and senior non-commissioned officers along with approximately 300 DoD civilians will deploy in 18-person teams to provide training assistance to Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF).
The majority of those BCT soldiers and leaders not deploying will be reassigned to other units, in most cases on their respective installations. The remainder will focus on schooling, training, gunnery, and equipment maintenance and accountability. Beginning in the 3rd quarter of fiscal 2012, these security force assistance teams will help to further generate, employ, and sustain the ANSF during the transition of security responsibility to the Afghan government and its security forces. The units ordered to deploy are: 2nd BCT, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), Fort Campbell, Ky. 2nd BCT, 3rd Infantry Division, Fort Stewart, Ga. 3rd BCT, 4th Infantry Division, Fort Carson, Colo. 4th BCT, 1st Armored Division, Fort Bliss, Texas. 162nd Infantry Brigade, Fort Polk, La. 1st Army, Rock Island Arsenal, Ill. |

advice for new officer on SFAT mid 2013
I have been reading the above and its great info. But does anyone have any more recent information or SFAT experience since?
I'm a young/new officer that's going to be on an SFAT heading over to Afghanistan April/May. I'm psyched to be dealing with a lot of FID, but I don't have the raw first-hand experience. Trying to read up and do as much hw as I can before I get over there. Thanks! |

Some Marine experience
I haven't been on SFAT (yet), but worked with Border Advisory Teams on my deployment to southern Helmand last year. I've also got a pretty good short AAR from a buddy who was a kandak advisor further north. PM me with your .mil and I'll send it your way.

. . . Others showed that Americans demonstrated significant resilience, but the need for vigilance - and access to treatment - remains.
In April 2002, President Bush, appointed the New Freedom Commission on Mental Health to recommend reforms to the nations treatment system. Its preliminary report is due in October. He also pledged to work with Congress to pass mental health parity legislation for health insurance this year-before the November elections.
In remembering September 11th, we also talk about heroes and courage.

A Fond Farewell to Richard Linklater's Austin
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on August 19, 2014 | Be the First To CommentFor the past four years, I've been in a long distance relationship. As of two weeks ago, the distance component of that relationship has thankfully come to a close, with my heart and my wallet eternally grateful. But the change is bittersweet, as I've also been in something of a long-distance relationship with a city that my person inhabited, having now arrived at the end of my routine round trip travels from my current home in southern Indiana to Austin, Texas. I only officially lived in Austin for slightly over a year, from 2009-2010. But in four subsequent years of visits ranging from a brief weekend to an entire summer, I developed something of a strange relationship with the city: I saw it through elliptical fractions of time. Each visit to this rapidly growing city required reorientation, as I was forced to understand the differences big and small that have taken place since my last visit. One day Rainey Street was a mostly empty lot with a few great food trailers. The next visit it became a caravan of bars. A few visits later, dreaded condos were being developed. For nearly anyone who has experienced the city of Austin through time, there is an Austin Then and an Austin Now, with Austin Then forever casting a shadow over the always inferior Austin Now. If any filmmaker has a claim to Austin Then, it's Slacker director Richard Linklater. But as his recent output has shown – most evidently in the magnus […]

Fantastic Fest 2012 Announces First Wave of Titles Including Dredd 3D, Hot Dead Sushi and the House of Psychotic Women Series
Movie News By Rob Hunter on July 30, 2012 | Comments (2)Cannes. Sundance. Toronto. SXSW. Screw them.* The best film festival each and every year is the Alamo Drafthouse Theater's very own Fantastic Fest that takes place in Austin every fall. They bring genre films from around the world to play under one roof for fans of movies best described as strange, violent, unique, crazy and often absolutely incredible. These are movies that will most likely never get a DVD release in the US let alone a theatrical run making this fest the only real opportunity to see them (bar an import disc down the road). The first wave of titles have been announced with two more to come in the next several weeks, and the list offers the usual selection of the very unusual. Movies we've never heard of before will play alongside ones we know by heart. I for one am looking forward to seeing The Shining on the big screen for the first time as well as some of the new films below. Keep reading for the complete first wave! *I kid! All film festivals are awesome, period.
'Jurassic Live: Dino Action Show' Proves That Life Really Does Find a Way
Austin Events By Luke Mullen on June 6, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAs you may have noticed, Rejects HQ is located in beautiful Austin, Texas. Austin is a town of many pleasures, from the survival of two local video rental stores, to the shit-ton of bats the live under one of our bridges, to the best movie theater in the world. But that's not all Austin has to offer. It's also home to some damn creative folks and a few of them have banded together once again to assault your eyeballs with awesome. You may have heard tell of the Old Murder House theater, a group of crazy people transplanted to Austin from parts unknown, who take major motion pictures and turn them into live stage plays. They made a name for themselves with previous shows like Back to the Future Live, Robocop Live, and last year's incredible spectacle, Aliens on Ice! But they've come up with a whole new ballgame for this summer, an epic 10-city tour (thanks to a successful Kickstarter campaign) that stretches from coast to coast to bring you Jurassic Park like you've never seen it before with their Jurassic Live: Dino Action Show.
Checking In With Austin Filmmakers Bob Byington, Bryan Poyser, Alex Karpovsky, and More
Action Fest By Don Simpson on May 14, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhat have I been doing lately? I have been stalking Bryan Poyser (Lovers of Hate) on Facebook. Well, it is not technically stalking since he accepted my friendship, right? Truth be told, I am not actually a Facebook stalker, I am merely doing my job. (Really!) I am keeping tabs on the production of Poyser's latest film, The Bounceback. As I write this, Poyser is entering week three of the Austin-based production which stars Ashley Bell (The Last Exorcism), Michael Stahl-David (Cloverfield), Sara Paxton (The Innkeepers), and Addison Timlin (Californication). The primary cast might not be very Austin-centric, but the crew – which includes producer Megan Gilbride, cinematographer PJ Raval, and editor Don Swaynos – certainly is. My love for Lovers of Hate and Dear Pillow knows no bounds, so let's just say that I am eagerly awaiting the release of The Bounceback. Poyser is not the only Austin filmmaker lucky enough to be stalked by yours truly. A couple of weeks ago, I ran into the seemingly ubiquitous Alex Karpovsky at Tribeca 2012. Okay, I was not really stalking him, he was hanging out in the press lounge. (Really!) A periodic Austinite, Karpovsky mentioned that he will be in Austin in the very near future to act in Carlyn Hudson's (Z and Beau) next film. As a fan of Hudson's segment of Slacker 2011 as well as her short film Z and Beau, I am very excited to find out more about her project with Karpovsky.
Austin Cinematic Limits: Catching Up With Mars, Jonny Mars
Austin Cinematic Limits By Don Simpson on April 9, 2012 | Be the First To CommentI first became aware of Jonny Mars during SXSW 2010, thanks to his role as Donnie in The Happy Poet. I have never been one to judge an actor on one performance, so it was not until I saw Mars the next time – as Steve Worth in Wuss – that I realized his talents as an actor. I remember wondering to myself, why hasn't Mars run off to Los Angeles to become a big star? Then, after watching Mars truly own his couple minutes of screen time in Hellion, I knew it was time to pose that question to the man himself. Before I got a chance to speak with Mars, a funny thing happened: I learned that Mars is also a director, and his directorial debut, America's Parking Lot (which premiered at SXSW 2012), is a multi-faceted documentary about the renowned Dallas Cowboys' Gate 6 tailgaters. Mars once again astounded me, this time for his astute understanding of the documentary form. In terms of its narrative arc and development of conflict, America's Parking Lot is damn near perfect. If I didn't know any better, I would have assumed America's Parking Lot was directed by a seasoned veteran, not a first-time director. Now I really needed to chat with Mars, post-haste!
Movie News After Dark: Star Trek 2, The Oscar Party Drinking Game and Martin Scorsese Teaches You Everything About Film
Movie News By Neil Miller on February 24, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhat is Movie News After Dark? It's a nightly gathering of links that was almost known as Oscar News After Dark, but then its creators remembered that they only really care about he Oscars for about one week per year, so it would have been a waste. With that in mind, welcome to the final edition of News After Dark in that one week of the year when we care about the Oscars. We begin tonight with an image tweeted by writer Roberto Orci, who may or may not being issuing a controlled leak situation for Paramount from the set of Star Trek 2. Said producer Damon Lindelof of the pic, which depicts a yet unknown character played by Benedict Cumberbatch being subdued by Zach Quinto's Spock, "The weird thing about that Trek photo is we weren't even shooting. Quinto just really hates Cumberbatch."
Austin Cinematic Limits: What Are You Doing On Valentine's Day?
Austin Cinematic Limits By Don Simpson on February 13, 2012 | Be the First To CommentOkay, I'll come right out and say it: I really hate Valentine's Day. It's just another Hallmark holiday that was created to give retailers a huge boost in sales during what would otherwise be a slow month on their fiscal calendar. Of course, if you are in a relationship, Valentine's Day is a really tough holiday to ignore because our society deems that everyone must at least purchase chocolates, roses, and/or a greeting card for their significant other; a romantic dinner is also a good idea and maybe a movie afterwards… Life on February 14th is not any easier if you are single (but if you are, you should probably check out our FSR Dating site), because you definitely cannot go out in public without a date on Valentine's Day unless you want to look like a totally unlovable loser. On that note, I will quit my bitching and tell you about all of the great cinematic events going on in Austin on the dreaded 14th of February.
SXSW: Emily Hagins Proves The Next Generation of Filmmakers Isn't Sucky
Features By Brian Salisbury on March 22, 2011 | Comments (2)When it was announced that the newest film from eighteen-year-old director Emily Hagins, entitled My Sucky Teen Romance, was going to premiere at SxSW, I was ecstatic. Almost every member of our SXSW coverage team either lives or has previously lived in Austin and knows Emily personally. Hell, some of us even donated our time to assist in the movie's completion. That made it slightly difficult to lend our voices to reviewing the film. So do we decline to review it? Do we expend no words on it at all? Yes…and no. There is a story here, and a damn good one at that, completely divorced from the film itself. Emily's story. Hagins wrote her first feature-length film, Pathogen, at age 11. The next year, she earned a grant from the Austin Film Society to produce Pathogen, effectively becoming the youngest recipient of that award. Her tireless dedication to making her first feature film, and the fact that she wasn't even in high school yet, attracted the attention of a trio of documentary filmmakers who noticed Hagins's casting call posted on a local website called Austinactors.net. They crafted their 2009 film Zombie Girl: The Movie around her efforts. Between 7th and 8th grade, when the biggest thing that happened to most of us was getting our first kiss at a skating party, she was hard at work on The Retelling, her second feature. And now, here at SXSW 2011, Hagins's third film played to bright marquee lights and packed houses […]
Fantastic Review: Red White & Blue
Fantastic Fest By Robert Fure on October 5, 2010 | Be the First To CommentWalking down the street in Austin one fine afternoon, I made the remark that I wasn't sure how to feel about a film that just played Fantastic Fest because it had a happy ending. "No one was raped or killed, I'm not sure how to feel about that." I'm not an advocate of raping and killing (except when they really, really deserve it), but the vast majority of films I saw this year dealt with those themes heavily. Seeing something happy and cheery actually threw me pretty hard. Luckily, Red White & Blue from writer-director Simon Rumley was there to bring me right back down into a pit of despair and make me want to give up on life. Red White & Blue follows a trio of Austin residents as their stories intersect and collide with unfortunate events. Erica (Amanda Fuller) is a promiscuous girl down on her luck who finds something close to a relationship developing with the off-kilter Army veteran Nate (Noah Taylor). Rock-n-roller Franki (Marc Senter) has a brief fling with Erica and the results of said fling have ramifications for all.

One of the challenges many musicians encounter in improvisation is in learning how to free up their rhythmic phrasing. This workshop is focused on concepts and exercises to help you move beyond the usual tendencies in 4/4 and 3/4 time, through the study of polyrhythm and polymeter. Written examples will be provided of various rhythmic patterns (with an emphasis on learning how to count them), and how to superimpose patterns over the most common meters and forms. This ear training is essential to develop recognition and comfort within the advanced rhythmic environment of modern music — and ultimately, will enable new levels of expression and interaction in any musical context. Examples will be shown on drum set, but all musicians who want to develop their rhythmic sense are welcome!
Jon Arkin has performed and recorded with a wide range of musicians since receiving his degree from the University of Miami. Credits include Julian Lage, Wil Blades, Dayna Stephens and others.

Melancholic Pink Beach
These films are Sensia Overdated (2008) , the Pictures are totally Over exposed due to the stuck aperture of my lens at f3.4 (even if my setting said I was at f/16 or f/22) I shot at around 125/1 on a bright daylight, however the result is still very interesting with that serie of shots. Ps:The dog on most of the pictures was masterless, desperately looking for affection and care.
This photo was shot on film. Taken by dudizm with a Nikon F2 loaded with Fuji Sensia film (available in our Online Shop) in kiriat haim, Israel. These tags describe this photo: summer, kid, children, beach, pink, xpro, sun, overexposed, and water. Date: 2012-08. Time: Afternoon.
