Independence Day is celebrated here on July 4th, with friends, family, fireworks, and a barbeque. But the folks at Saab are doing it a bit differently. You see, Independence Day has a whole different meaning for Saab; February marks its one-year anniversary since its separation from GM and to the shock of many outside the auto industry, they are still alive and producing cars. All they have to do is get the word out.
This is why we find ourselves in Kiruna, Sweden, a surprisingly large town of approximately 25,000 people inside the Arctic Circle. The current temperature: -44 degrees Celsius. At this point Fahrenheit and Celsius are the same; it's cold enough that an ice-cold beer tastes warm, nose hairs freeze together with each inhale, five layers of clothes aren't enough, and locals even declare it "a bit chilly". It's here where Saab has chosen to show us what it's been up to the past twelve months, and what is to come in the next. And also to reiterate the message that Saab is not dead. Although we didn't get to drive these three models, here is a small taste of what's to come.
Saab 9-3 Griffin
The 9-3 Griffin is the glorified placeholder in the 9-3 lineup until the new 9-3 arrives next October; Saab is introducing the Griffin range at this year's Geneva auto show. Both the sedan and SportCombi (wagon) body styles are available, in standard and Aero variants. The Griffin features a new front fascia and headlamps as well as an updated interior with higher-quality materials and greater refinement. The engine is the same turbocharged 2.0-liter that is found in the 9-5 that makes 220 hp; it's also E85 capable. Options include a manual or automatic transmission, and front or all-wheel drive (XWD).

Tell Air Force Secretary Donley to let Lt. Col. Fehrenbach continue to serve his country.
Dear Mr. Secretary:
Lt. Colonel Victor Fehrenbach has served honorably for 18 years in the Air Force as an F-15E Aviator. He has received eight air medals, one for Heroism, and was hand-picked to protect the Washington, D.C. airspace after 9/11. He flew combat missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, targeting the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Lt. Col. Fehrenbach has only been an asset to the United States Air Force, not a detriment to unit cohesion, morale, or good order.
I ask that you allow this brave patriot to continue serving his country as a highly skilled aviator. We taxpayers have spent over 25 million dollars to train this hero. Our country cannot afford to lose Lt. Col. Fehrenbach, especially when we are waging two wars. I respectfully request that you review his case immediately and let him keep serving.

First Sunday of Lent (B)
Jesus was tempted by Satan, and the angels looked after him
The Word This Week
We begin our Lenten journey at the decisive moment of the flood, when God establishes his first Covenant with man, in the person of Noah. Noah was saved from the waters, while we (as Saint Peter points out) are saved by the waters of Baptism. This is the Covenant we live in, thanks to Christ, who came to establish this new and eternal Covenant in his blood. He is the only one who can do this, because he is without sin, despite having been tempted in every way that we are.
Notes for Readers
The fact that the word covenant occurs five times in this reading tells us what it is about. A Covenant is a relationship, pact or agreement between two parties - here between God and man. We read this today because it is the first definitive step God takes (after things have gone wrong in the Garden of Eden) to put things right with his creation. We will be following the story of Gods relationship with the human race over the next five weeks, to help us understand the meaning of the new and eternal covenant Jesus forges in his blood. This is a solemn proclamation - God speaks, and when God speaks, it happens. Read these words with a sense of awe: this is an incredible moment of human history, when the all-powerful God freely chooses to enter into a relationship with humanity. The one problem with this reading is that it is out of context: the first line, and the references to the flood are the only clue that people will have as to what is going on - so take special care to say the name of Noah very clearly. Also underline the formal declaration See, I establish my Covenant with you... Also emphasise the universal nature of this covenant - with you...every living creature...everything that lives on earth.
The Second Reading on these Sundays of Lent always acts as a bridge between the Old Testament reading and the Gospel. Here Peter links Noah with Christ: there are two types of water: the waters of the flood, which saved the few who believed, and the waters of baptism, which saved us. This is a very difficult reading! It is very theological, and the sentences are long and complicated. You must practice this out loud beforehand; otherwise it will come over as nonsense. For each sentence, try to find the main clause, and separate it out from the surrounding bits: so the main clause of the first sentence is: Christ... died for sins,... to lead us to God. Then it leads to the spirits in prison (= those who lived before Good Friday), and their refusing to believe at the time of Noah. Then the final sentence: the word type is a technical word, meaning a foreshadowing: it is not a physical washing, but a pledge, through Jesus resurrection.

Oh look, yesterday was Thanksgiving, the Pens literally play in like 10 minutes.
We are thankful for, among other things, stampedes at big box stores on Black Friday in Fayette County. And people from high school, not to mention people from college, who still update their Facebook statuses with Fight Club quotes. And Rob Rossi's sweaters.
We're probably going to be on-hand for the Flames game tomorrow.
The goal for today is to just avoid the flying semen, as usual.
Go Pens.

Acura TL Navigation System Hints and Experiences
kkc717 Posts: 3I upgraded the disc on my '07 TL in March '11. Since them I've experienced intermittent problems with it shutting down causing a display message of "DVD disc reading error. Contact Dealer" Every time it's done this I've been able to get it running again by turning the car off and then on or ejecting and reloading the disc in the trunk navi box. I took it to the dealer, they ran all the diagnostics and said everything was running perfectly. They then told me that the disc player is probably going bad and to replace the entire navi box would be $3,015! They claimed that these units aren't repaired as it isn't worth the cost. These units are "thrown away" like a $100 DVD player. I find that hard to believe as I can't believe a $3,000 unit is comparable to a $100 DVD player. By-the-way I believe they had an alterior motive as they also tried to sell me a new car knowing that I probably wouldn't put that kind of money into that old a car.
I contacted the company I got the disc from and requested a new one. They gave me a case number and said they'd review the problem as the 30 day warranty is up. I haven't heard back from them yet.
I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced this problem and if your problem was resolved. I use my car on business travel and really need the navi system. -

happyacuraownr Posts: 4DON"T DO ANYTHING with the dealer, or Ebay...
Go on Alpine's website. They are the manufacturer of the box in the trunk. For 158.00 flat, they will refurbish your DVD player and sent it back to you.
I had EXACTLY the same issue, and error messages. I sent it to them and within 3 weeks I had the unit back, and fully operational.
The unit removes easily from your trunk. Remove the trunk coverings, 4 screws that hold the bracket on, then 4 screws that hold the unit into the bracket, plus the all the connectors in the rear unit.
Piece of cake, and now I have my GPS back and saved literally thousands.
Here is the link, call the 800 number for OEM service. They will give you the address in CA to send the unit.

alli7 Posts: 2Hi,
I just noticed that my Nav. system is freezing and flickering. When I tried to eject the CD from the player, it seems that there isn't any power (not ejecting). Beside the Nav., I don't have access to the touch screen radio and climate controls. Does anyone have any solutions beside buying a new unit?
Thanks. -
kkc717 Posts: 3I have an '07 TL and had a problem with the navi after installing a new disk. The dealer wanted $3,015 for a new navi box. They said they throw the boxes away when they malfunction which can be caused by either replacing the car battery or installing an updated disk. I found out the box was distributed by Alpine Electonics in Torrence, CA. (The info on Alpine was labeled on the box.) I sent the box to them for repairs that cost a flat $158. The dealer had to pull the box and then reinstall it (no other options except for the dealer as they have to sync it to the car again). Total cost for me was about 10% of the cost to replace the box. The navi system and related operations work perfectly and there is a one year warranty on Alpine's work. By-the-way I gave the dealer service dept the info on Alpine and they told me they gave that info to two other customers within one week of my providing it to them. Try pulling the box and contacting the distributor whose info should be on it.
kkc717 Posts: 3Alpine received my Navi on a Wednesday, called me on Thursday to tell me it was fixed and to get a credit card #. They shipped it to me on Friday.
After the bad advice I got from the dealer I wanted no part of dealing with them to fix the Navi. Unfortunately no auto repair shop would touch the pulling of the box or reinstalling it. All shops told me the same thing, that the dealer was the only place that had the tools necessary to re sync the box to the car. I went back to the dealer, had them do the work and all has worked perfectly since then. They also washed the car and vacuumed it. -
markcincinnati Posts: 5,114When I push the talk button and say "what time is it?" nothing happens. When I push the talk button and say "help" a long list of commands is read to me and one of the commands offered is "what time is it?" Now, I am not all that worried about what time it is, since I wear a watch and there is that poor excuse for a clock on the dash, but it says you can query the time by saying "what time is it?
What am I doing wrong -- I have tried it in map mode, with and without the nav function engaged and from a variety of screens.
I am going to the dealer for help on this, but not until next week so I figured I'd ask the cyber community first.
Thanks. -
svetule4ek Posts: 1Hi, everybody. I recently purchased TL 2005 and don't really like the navigation system. I used to have a Garmin GPS and it always gave me estimated time of arrival as oppose to my TL system that gives me estimated travel time, which really bugs me. Does every Navi system do that or I can change it somewhere in settings? Plus the travel time changes a lot as I go, and I really can't understand when I'm going to arrive.
I want to buy an updated disk for the system as mine is original and 6 years old now. Is this feature any different in updated versions? Thanks -
cpn2 Posts: 2I'm pretty sure you cannot change it. I foolishly purchased the updated disk (for2010). The only changes are some expansions in map coverage and new POIs. Regarding the latter (which I have an ongoing beef with Acura about), they do not tell you that the 2010 update is the same as that installed in the 2010 Acura which came out in 2009. Their cutoff date for production is June 30th. Navteq, who gets the data from D&B and then sells it to Acura, has their own cutoff date of Jan 1st. So the newest POI data on the 2010 disk is from December 2008!
I have yet to see Acura provide any new features to the software from year to year for the same "part #". Only when they change the part - because there is something new in the hardware - do they change the software. And that is NOT backwardly compatable. Like when they added iPod support in 2007.
So you are unlikely to get an ETA on your 2005 - or much else you do not already have, EXCEPT (unless the fixed it in 2011) a buggy algorithm for calculating the routes. My 2010 version does some very strange routing that the version that came with my TL did not. Acura's response to my inquiry about this was SO bad, my current TL (my 3rd) will be my last.
Does anyone else find really odd routing in their Nav systems? -
markcincinnati Posts: 5,114
org1 Posts: 2I purchased a 2005 TL Nuvi. I recently purchased the updated disc. Everything is working great.
I am able to delete the addresses from the set-up screen. I can not figure out how to delete the personal addresses. I went under user 1 and user 2 and there are a lot of personal addresses i both. Does anyone know how to delete them? I asked the dealer and they told me what I already know and it does not delete the personal addresses. -
zenicanj Posts: 1Hi...I just received the "invitation" from Acura to buy an updated navigation DVD but my question is this. Shouldn't these updated discs be free during the factory warranty period?
I remember with our 99 TL that had the HDD based navigation system, the dealer handled
the map updates for free when it was under warranty. Our old service records also reflect this was for free. That car has since been switched to a DVD based system, so perhaps I'd use the invitation to buy that update disc. -

View of the administrative section. /Photo. Flickr user laloking97../
The offices of the departmental and city governments, the departmental public enterprises, and the tax administration are located at La Alpujarra administrative center.
A tour through the administrative and business section includes a visit to La Alpujarra, the complex where the municipal and departmental governments operate. The tour goes on to an area that underwent a notable urban transformation in recent years thanks to a strong boost by the government and the public utilities company of the city.
The following are among the most interesting places: the "intelligent building" of the Empresas Públicas de Medellín (city public utilities company); the Parque de los Pies Descalzos (bare feet park); the EPM interactive Museum; the Centro de Convenciones y Exposiciones Plaza Mayor; the Teatro Metropolitano de Medellín; the old Antioquia railway station, which has been completely restored; the traditional Plaza de Cisneros, now called the Plaza de la Luz on account of its 300 lamp posts; and the EPM public library.

Anybody ever have issues with this? Any potential problems that I could avoid? This is probably a non-starter, but I thought I would ask in case... |

Make sure you are on the correct lot. |
- Posted by gaonmymind (My Page) on Sun, Aug 19, 12 at 11:05
Lol...brickeye believe it or not the re agent for the lot had put the wrong address. So when we came to the neighborhood to see it we were on someone else's property. Agent had the wrong address listed for six months. I had to help her correct the listing! |
I'm sure you & your builder planned for this and it's a non-issue for most people, but we had to move our layout over several feet because I failed to allow space for the outside HVAC units. We have an existing detached garage and needed to leave enough room between it and new house to pull our camper thru to the back. I woke up at 1am in a panic the day after we staked the perimeter out thinking about it! Have fun laying it out! We were finally able to get this done last week and it was so fun to 'walk through' the downstairs layout, even if the rooms were just orange paint lines on the ground. :) |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Sun, Aug 19, 12 at 12:06
You had a survey of the lot done with the permanent markers located and then it was staked when you purchased it, correct? And any easements and setbacks are also plainly indicated on that survey? Not the seller, or the builder. YOU. You did this, right? If you didn't have a survey done, STOP everything until that happens. Lot lines are not where some real estate agents or builders think they are, as too many sad sagas have made plain over the years. You do NOT want to build your house 2' into an easement, or (even worse) 2' onto the neighbor's lot and only find out about it after everything is done when the neighbor's can hold you hostage over the situation. |
- Posted by gaonmymind (My Page) on Sun, Aug 19, 12 at 12:26
Yup...I had the survey done before we closed by a big company that warranties their work. Also have several plot maps and rechecked it in the county gis system. Learned my lesson from the listing fiasco. We also have water setbacks that the county is going to check that before we proceed. Is it overkill to measure the water setback myself with a tape measure? |
- Posted by hollysprings (My Page) on Sun, Aug 19, 12 at 14:07
It's never overkill to double check any measurements. |
"re agent for the lot had put the wrong address." You want an actual survey withe at least stakes to mark corners. Unless you like building someone else a house. |
- Posted by gaonmymind (My Page) on Sun, Aug 19, 12 at 14:53
It is marked clearly. The neighbor found out that he had landscaped part of our property that way. I will double check measurements. |

Hi-- Who is invited? What kinds of things one bring to the swap? Where is it held? I see that there are supposed to be treads posted but I don't see them, so apologies if my questions are answered there. |
- Posted by kimka z7 (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Mon, Mar 18, 13 at 9:11
Here is the cut and paste from past swaps. Anyone and everyone is invited, you don't have to be a gardenwebber. But we do ask newcomers to be polite and not take all of everything in their excitement (especially anything labeled as a pre-arranged trades). MAG swaps tend to be very informal with anything goes. People bring anywhere from no plants to dozens and new seedlings to major divisions, Many of the plants will be bare root and wrapped in newspaper or tucked into plastic bags rather than potted upped. There are haves, wants and what I'm bring for the potluck threads on the exchange page as well as basic instructions for each of these parts. If you see something on the "haves" thread that you want, you email the person directly and ask for it. If you have stuff to swap, you offer it. If not, just say I don't really have anything to swap so I'm bringing chocolate...I mean something to eat. At our swaps, we pretty much just offer our plants to new homes and when you reach the point of having plants to divide and pass on, you do the same for the next group of newbie gardeners. On the day of the swap, you set out your prearranged trades (labeled with the person's name and what the plant is) and in a second grouping anything you are giving away. People just stroll around asking about plants and take what they want. We talk gardening and gossip from about 10 to 11:45ish and then adjourn for the potluck. After lunch, anything left is pushed on people (If you look at something, you have to take one; if you ask about it, you have to take two.) People also bring garden magazines, plastic pots, garden equipment, almost anything garden related they want to swap or give away. Gardengranma has a fabulous garden and house in Burtonsville, MD directions are provided on the threads) and a field where she has us all park. It helps if you label your car with your gardenweb handle and your name and a wear a similar nametag. That's about the sum of our rules: Be polite, bring what you can, take home a car load of plants. |

Newbie here and it certainly looks as if I dropped by at the perfect time! Not sure I have anything to swap yet, but I can bring food! Sounds like a perfect day! My DH used to bike through Burtonsville back in younger days. :) Lovely area. I will keep checking for more postings since I gather there is lots more info on this that I don't yet know! Yippee. |
Bummer that it's the 11th. I thought that folks would opt out of having it Mother's Day weekend. I scheduled my work day for that, thinking that the swap would be the first weekend of May as it has been. I'll post my wants list soon and have my friend pick them up. Will swap cookies for plants! |

Newby here just moved into a new townhouse with minimal landscaping. I might could bring some varigated ajuga or sedum Autumn Joy, but who doesn't have this already if they wanted it. I can provide food though as I love to cook. Just tell me whether you want a side dish or dessert. I might bring two new neighbors. Is this allowed? Thanx! Hal |

Preppyboy, I'm actually looking for a ton of ajuga to fill an area where grass won't grow. So yes to the ajuga! :) Click on the "Exchanges" link on top of the MidAtlantic forum for the trade lists. |
Oh, great! I was just coming to look to see if there was a date decision, since I have to ask for the day off NOW! Mother's Day. Isn't that Sunday, not Saturday? Because I, working in a restaurant, must work Sunday. Nonetheless, planning at least 4 weeks in advance... I will have a truck load of stuff. Not only my own (I started repotting and dividing in November) but a friend's, whose SO moved back to Idaho, leaving her with 2 acres of overgrown, mostly potted everything!. Henrietta, thanks.

Out of fourteen illegal voters banned after Scott Gessler's campaign, how many voted? Zero
Update: Yesterday, we reported that a total of fourteen people were removed from Colorado voting rolls following an extensive effort by Secretary of State Scott Gessler to potentially illegal voters; see our original post in its entirety below.Big photos below.
Since sharing these results, we checked with Gessler's office to find out how many of these fourteen actually voted. The answer turns out to be none.
Gessler spokesman Rich Coolidge tells us that the records of these individuals indicate none have any voting history. Gessler's office does, however, have records of others who have allegedly voted illegally -- since they've admitted on forms that they are non-citizens and yet have still voted. But this is not the case with these fourteen.
When Gessler's office originally announced that 141 individuals were illegally registered, they said that 35 of them had a voting history. It would appear that the fourteen ultimately removed -- though there could be more in the final weeks before Election Day -- were not a part of those 35.
These results have not dissuaded Gessler from trying to find additional scofflaws. Read about it in today's post "Scott Gessler's office running checks on thousands of more potential non-citizens."
See our previous coverage below.
Original post, 11:02 a.m. October 11: Yesterday, Secretary of State Scott Gessler celebrated the end of voter registration with a press conference announcing the success of his campaign encouraging residents to sign up -- more on that below. But first, the results of the other Gessler effort, which focused on weeding out illegal voters. After working with the federal government and a facing an onslaught of negative headlines, Gessler's office has a count from across the state of those removed from voter rolls: fourteen.
We reported last month that in Denver County, Gessler's latest anti-fraud initiative resulted in four illegal voters being removed. And on Tuesday, the final day of registration, Scott Gessler spokesman Rich Coolidge gave us numbers for counties across the state: Three were removed in Adams County, three in El Paso County, two in Garfield County, one in La Plata County, one in Jefferson County and the aforementioned four in Denver. That makes fourteen.
Let's do a quick recap of the process that led to the removal of these fourteen individuals -- the result of Gessler's most recent initiative to clean up voter rolls. Sam Levin Scott Gessler talking to reporters at a press conference yesterday.
Back in August, Gessler sent letters to nearly 4,000 registered voters asking them to prove they are citizens. The letter recepients were potentially illegal voters, because they had at some point presented proof of non-citizenship, such as using a green card or VISA to get a license at the DMV. Critics at the time argued that the letters might intimidate voters and could very well be sent to legal voters who had recently become citizens.
Later that month, Gessler's office announced that of the 3,903 who received the original letters, 1,011 voters moved with no forwarding address and 482 successfully affirmed their citizenship. Additionally, sixteen voluntarily withdrew their registrations. (We spoke to one legal citizen who got the letter and was not happy about it).
In a separate action, the Secretary of State's office also ran the names of 1,416 voters who had an "alien identification number on file with the DMV" through the Department of Homeland Security's Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements database to confirm their citizenship. In September, Gessler's office released an update on the investigation, announcing that 10 percent of that group, or 141, aren't citizens -- at least, according to that federal database. Gessler lamented that his office only recently got access to the federal resource, giving them very little time to address the problem posed by those illegal voters. He then sent those names to county clerks with instructions on how to challenge them.
Of those 141 sent to county clerks, we know that fourteen have been removed. That's about 10 percent of the total flagged by the federal database, which was 10 percent of the names that ran through that system. And fourteen is 0.00038 percent of the roughly 3.6 million voters now registered in the state.
Opponents of Gessler, a Republican, argue that this effort should not have been such a big priority of his office -- with his harshest critics saying that he is motivated by partisan efforts to discourage non-Republicans from voting.
But Gessler and his team argue that there's no solid proof the other 127 voters out of the 141 flagged are legal, eligible voters. Gessler says that his office just didn't have enough time to address the problem -- a very serious problem, he believes, given that the federal government has said they aren't citizens.
While officials like Denver County Clerk and Recorder Debra Johnson argue that they've verified the eligibility of those sent their way -- except for the ones they've removed -- Gessler's office argues that those clerks don't have any way to definitively confirm that the federal government is wrong and the voters are actually citizens.

Document Type Doctoral Thesis Author Strike, Joelle URN etd-07262006-095933 Document Title Autobiographie et autographie dans l'oeuvre d'Albert Memmi (French) Degree DLitt (French) Department Modern European Languages Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof D Godwin Committee Chair Keywords
- autobiography
- Memmi Albert criticism and interpretation
- autobiography in literature
Date 2001-04-01 Availability unrestricted Abstract Rooted in his painfully fractured identity as an Arab-speaking Jew in the (then) French colonial Tunisia, Albert Memmi' s novels and essays evolve in a single autobiographical space. The author will explore and remodel this space from different angles in an attempt to resolve a double predicament through his writing, leading to a progressive (re )construction of the self, which we have called "autography".Memmi's double predicament - his shattered identity and his problematic relation to the Other - is revealed in the analysis of his first two novels (or auto fictions ), La Statue de sel and Agar, where an agonising deconstruction of the self first emerges. The autobiographical and chronological plot of these works is subverted in the third novel, Le Scorpion, where the reconstruction of the self through writing is downplayed and the Other is afforded some measure of alterity, while the writing, both symbolic and playful, becomes therapeutic. The fourth novel, Le Dťsert, pursues the reconstruction, reasserting the North-African roots of the author's triple identity, but hardly at all its Jewishness. In the last novel, Le Pharaon, the second dimension of the predicament - the relation to the Other - stalls and leaves Memmi' s novel writing in an impasse. This is the subject of the first part of this study.
No further novels will be written. However, the essays - examined in the second part ¨starting with Portrait du colonisť, will proliferate, progressively asserting Jewish identity with Portrait d'un Juij and La Liberation du Juij. From the conflictive duo, the work evolves towards the pacific triad of the concept of dependence, where the relation to the Other progresses from oppression to mutual exchange. Henceforth, the dependence relationship will characterise the later essays, including Le Racisme.
Through the essays, the omnipresent "I" gradually gives way to the humanist "we", enveloping the reader, who coincides with the Other and becomes the centre of the author's concern. This space granted to the Other is consolidated in writing of an increasingly fragmented nature. The discourse becomes sparse, in an apparent deconstruction of the writing, which, paradoxically, far from signalling a drying up, consummates the autographic project.

Kevin Jackson is a father of four sons, and an unlikely success story, given his background.
He is a leader in the consulting industry in America, having some of the world's largest companies as his clients. Interaction with prominent business leaders, as well as being a business leader himself has provided Jackson real world perspective to politics.
"What you learn about America is people are a lot less interested in race than they are in character." Jackson believes that empowerment comes when you know who you are and what you stand for.
Jackson is a highly sought national speaker, and has graced the stage with luminaries as Neal Boortz, Herman Cain, Judge Napolitano, and Andrew Breitbart, to name a few.
In addition to his Amazon best-selling The BIG Black Lie, Jackson has appeared numerous times on the Glenn Beck show, The Factor with Bill O'Reilly, and MSNBC.
Jackson writes his almost daily blog and is a contributing writer to Breitbart's Big Government, American Thinker, and his work was has been featured in Townhall magazine.
Jackson hosts a radio show and does many guest appearances on some of the more prominent conservative radio shows around the country.
Kevin Jackson earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Southern Methodist University. He owned his own manufacturer's representative agency in Texas and served as the Vice President of Sales and Marketing for M&A Technology, a Dallas-based technology firm. Mr. Jackson has been part of the executive management team for various IT systems integration firms, notables being Hitachi Consulting and CSC Consulting, and he has provided management consulting services to some of the world's largest corporations.
Kevin in his own words…
Due to the death of my mother when I was five, I was adopted and raised by my grandparents who were staunch Democrats. I recall as a child watching Reagan give a speech in his unsuccessful run for the presidency, after which I said to my grandparents, "Why are we Democrats, when what we believe is what that guy [Reagan] just said?"
That moment was the birth of The Black Sphere—self-appointed "Offender of the Left" sworn to set the record straight on the destruction by Democrats to the black community.
I am just a poor kid, who was fortunate enough to have been exposed to what the world has to offer in a most unique way. I witnessed life through black and white, and through poverty and wealth. I have always held an optimistic outlook, and my grandparents instilled in me a "no excuses mentality," combined with work ethic.
I am flawed for sure, but I have always decided to like what I see in the mirror, despite my flaws. I strive to be a better person, and to give my best to all situations. I am a believer in God and family, and feel fortunate to have you read my words, thus giving me a voice.

Team: Wake Forest Demon Deacons
Postseason: 23-17 Music City Bowl loss to Mississippi State
Top Offensive Performer: Tanner Price, QB
Top Defensive Performer: Merrill Noel, CB
After choking away a late lead against Syracuse in the season opener, Wake Forest fans should've known they were in for a difficult year. Yet, with a 4-1 start, including a victory over early ACC-favorite Florida State, it appeared that first loss would just be a bump in the road. Five bowl teams in their final seven games thought otherwise, however, as what was a high-flying Demon Deacons passing attack was suddenly subdued and their defense was finding it increasingly difficult to contain opponents. Still, the team saw itself just a field goal away from a shot at a conference title — a division crown Clemson grasped away in the final seconds of their mid-November tilt.
Even as it struggled toward the end of 2011, Wake's passing game, behind quarterback Tanner Price and receiver Chris Givens, still ranked among the nation's top 40. Lacking any true balance, however (they'd average just 114 yards per game on the ground), predictability gave way to stalled drives and missed opportunities. And after topping 27 points in each of their first five games, Wake would only do so twice more — once in defeat, and again against lowly Maryland. On a more positive note, Price, a sophomore managed to throw for over 3,000 yards and 20 touchdowns on 60 percent passing, all among the best marks in the ACC. Givens also ranked in the conference's top three or so in nearly every individual receiving category, propelling him to all-league honors and his probable first- or second-round selection in the upcoming NFL Draft.
On defense, Wake Forest was a slightly below-average unit, giving up slightly over 27 points per game and failing to get after the quarterback all that well (just 11 sacks all year). Where they did excel, however, is what kept them competitive in the early parts of the season — stopping teams on third down and forcing turnovers. Ball-hawks Josh Bush and Merrill Noel patrolled the secondary without fear, holding their own against some of the league's top passing threats. Once again, the season splits were startling, though. Opponents topped 30 points just twice in the first five contests (an overtime loss and a win), but would do so five times over the final seven, including over-40 performances by North Carolina and Vanderbilt.
Without Givens to catch passes, or a running game to truly rely on, the jury's still out on how well Wake Forest can really be next season. If Price continues his improvement, it likely shouldn't matter as much as initially perceived, however. The rising junior showed equal sides of poise and learning-on-the-fly in 2011, and he could likely make the jump next year. If he does, it could be a harrowing season for ACC corners, who quickly have their hands full with a young stable of accurate, tenacious passers.

The Message Matters – Get It Right or Don't Bother Selling At All
Imagine it's a cold, dreary, overcast morning. You are trudging down the sidewalk, drinking a cold, over brewed coffee with a grimace on your face as you try to wake up on your way to work. It's a Monday, and you are dreading your boss' inevitable warpath.
Then you notice a stranger striding towards you from the other direction with a package in his hand. He looks like he hasn't shaved in a week, and his shirt is wrinkled and has a mustard stain on the collar.
He stops you in his tracks and after barely taking the time to say hello,he begins trying to shill his product that you've never heard of. How do you think you'd react? What's your likelihood of wanting to buy what he's selling. I think I'd pull out the coldest shoulder I had in my arsenal before pulling out my wallet for that poor sap.
Stick with me.
Now imagine it's a beautiful, sunny, Friday afternoon. You are waltzing lazily down the sidewalk after having your favourite lunchtime meal. There's not a cloud in the sky, and the birds are chirping merrily.
As you daydream happily about soon being off to your cottage to relax and do some fishing, you notice an impeccably dressed stranger approaching you from the other direction. She comfortably strides towards you with a disarming smile on her face and wishes you good afternoon.
Before you know it, you've struck up a conversation and are enjoying her company. After discussing the gorgeous weather, she mentions she has a new product she's really excited about and asks if you'd like learn a bit about it.
How do you think you'd react now?
When it comes to selling, it doesn't matter how good your product or service is if the message you send out to potential customers is ugly.
Just as much effort and energy needs to go into your marketing as you put into your product or service.
(Related article – Simple Advertising Advice for Businesses)
A quick Google search will provide overwhelming evidence on the importance of warming your customers up first before attempting to make a sale. If you can engage your audience and get them to feel comfortable with who you are, they'll be far more inclined to hear what you've got to say when you show them what you've got to offer.
Take the time and effort necessary to properly utilize the marketing tools you have available to you. Social media, blogs, email subscription material, and free giveaways can all go a long way towards reaching a massive number of people and establishing for them what you have to offer.
You have the ability to shape either one of the above scenarios with your marketing efforts. It's up to you to decide which person you'd like to be.

Practical Information

Planning your trip:
Logistics – when planning your trip:
Gunson Guiding & Outfitting
Where are we?
The short answer is, about 1/2 way between Fort Nelson B.C., and Watson Lake, Yukon. Our guide-territory is bisected by the Alaska Highway, where it runs parallel to the Liard River, north and west of the Liard Hot Springs.
How do you get here?
If driving, all you need to do is find the beginning of the Alaska Highway and drive north, to the bridge over the Liard River. Our Highway Camp, is on the south side of the Bridge. The Liard Hot Springs, are just across River.
However, you will most likely fly to Fort Nelson B.C., where we will pick you up. From Fort Nelson, it's a 3 hour drive north on the Alaska Highway to our 'highway camp'. This brings you to, approximately, the Middle of Nowhere. Some adventures will start (or be based) along the Alaska Highway, but you will most likely end up on a float plane, travellilng from the Middle of Nowhere, into the wilderness.
Flying to Fort Nelson: We recommend working with a local travel agent that understands the logistics of flying into Fort Nelson. General information on flying into Fort Nelson can be found at:
Travel Canada works with clients traveling to Fort Nelson and they may be able to assist:
Travel Canada 1-877-608-3500 or call 306-978-3061
Central Mountain Air 1 888 865 8585
Connecting flights from Edmonton and Calgary for Commercial airlines
servicing Fort Nelson. www.flycma.com
Where to Stay:
If flying, we recommend that you plan arriving in Fort Nelson one to two days both advance and after your stay with us. This gives you (and us) some flexibility in dealing with the weather and/or lost luggage, etc. You will most likely be flying into your camp, from Muncho Lake Lodge, and we recommend if the 'logistics' allow, that you stay there:
Muncho Lake Northern Rockies Lodge, 1-250-776-3481. The lodge is located about 3 hours north of Fort Nelson, near to our guide-territory, and most of our flights depart from their float plane base. It is a beautiful place to stay, and we would be happy to put together a package that includes accomodation at the lodge. http://www.northern-rockies-lodge.com/
If you fly in late and/or leave early in the day, you may need to stay in Fort Nelson. Options there include:
Woodlands Inn 250 774-6669 Fort Nelson
Super 8 250 233-5025 Fort Nelson
Travel Insurance:
We highly recommend all clients purchase travel insurances do to unforeseen
events & trip cancellation policies.
Travel Guard International 1 (866) 877-3241
ALL TRAVELERS entering Canada will need a valid passport.
Firearms Information 1-800-731-4000
All clients must register firearms before bringing them into Canada. You should fill
out the form before arriving at the airport to save time, the cost of registering is
approx $50.00 payable at the airport.

VpsAdmin Manages OpenVZ Instances
The developers of a Czech hosting company has released a Web interface for administering virtual servers under OpenVZ.
The vpsAdmin tool in version 1.0 is written in PHP 5.2 and uses a MySQL database. The Web interface shows statistics and allows central administration of countless OpenVZ instances on many physical computers. It allows installing, starting, and stopping virtual servers, migrating servers, and configuring their network interfaces.
The software, originally developed for the vpsFree.cz hosting service, is under GPLv3 licensing and currently only supports Debian Lenny officially. Further details and a tarball are available on the vpsAdmin homepage.

Equatorial Guinea
Bioko Island
Bioko Island is located in Equatorial Guinea, in Western Africa. This island has a population of 668,225 and is the largest island in the Gulf of Guinea. Two large volcanic formations are separated by a valley that bisects the island at its narrowest point. Bioko is a continental bridge island separated from Africa for the last 12,000 years and has developed a unique assemblage of plans and animals.
Bioko Island Research Project
Bioko is an 800 square mile tropical island lying 20 miles off the coast of Cameroon in West Africa's Gulf of Guinea. Its tropical rainforests and high volcanic peaks (10,000 ft.) have provided a refuge for many unusual plants and animals. Unfortunately the larger animals on the island, especially the seven species of native monkeys and the four species of nesting sea turtles, are now threatened by an unsustainable commercial bush meat market. The Wildlife Center was organized in 1998 in response to this threat and now has established programs in:
- Research (sea turtles, primates, bush meat market dynamics)
- Active conservation (including local forest and beach patrols and faculty involvement) to encourage protection of this wildlife

Officers' Quarters: Guild leader loot rage {WoW}
Sep 9th 2009 1:59PM Ok so everyone has 2 specs: main spec and off spec. You should pick one spec to roll on per run. (Ideally your main spec i.e. preferred spec) That way healers aren't rolling on tank gear etc.
I'm a druid tank but sometimes my guild has too many tanks for raids so I'll dps as cat. However, tank is my _main spec_ so I pass on every single dps piece that drops and only roll on tank gear even if I'm not actively tanking for that evening.
With that said in the original posters story we have the 2 players
Warrior: mainspec was DPS
Paladin GM: mainspec was tanking
Even though the warrior was asked to tank for the one fight his _mainspec_ is still _dps_ so he should only have rolled on dps gear. It seems like he just came in for the one fight and I assume no dps gear dropped from Thorim so he decided to grab whatever shinies he could.
The paladin was entitled to the mace unless the warrior had declared he was rolling on tank stuff and not dps gear. So the original poster did screw up unless it was agreed on prior to starting the fight that the warrior would only roll on tank loot from then on.
With that said even though I think the Paladin was robbed of the mace I don't think he handled it well at all and think he did mistreat the original poster.

Receiving special permission from the Hamilton County Schools to go ahead with the District 5-AAA tourney, a half dozen games will be played today at East Hamilton High School, while the District 5-AA event will also tip off this evening in Benton.
After having been postponed for two days, the 5-AAA tournaments will utilize both the high school and middle school gymnasiums at East Hamilton, with action getting underway at 3 p.m.
The fourth-seeded Cleveland (12-12, 6-6) and No. 5 Ooltewah (5-14, 3-9) girls will start the day's slate on the main hardwood, followed by the second-seeded Ooltewah (15-8, 9-3) boys battling No. 7 McMinn County (3-21, 2-10) at 4:30.
At 6 p.m. both floors will be in action with the third-seeded Cleveland (15-7, 8-4) taking on the host No. 6 seeded East Hamilton (6-20, 3-9) boys in the big gym, while the No. 2 seed McMinn County (9-16, 9-3) girls battle the host Lady Hurricanes in the facility next door.
The busy day will wrap up with Walker Valley taking on Soddy-Daisy at 7:30 on both courts as the fourth-seed Mustangs (18-9, 7-5) battle the No. 5 Trojans (11-13, 3-9) on the main floor, while the third-seeded Lady Mustangs (17-10, 9-3) take on the No. 6 Lady Trojans (6-19, 2-10) in the smaller venue.
With a Region 3-AAA Tournament berths in hand, Friday's victors will return to Collegedale Saturday for the district semifinals, where the Walker Valley-Soddy girls winner will tangle with the McMinn-East Hamilton victor at 3 p.m. In the second girls' Final Four contest, the Cleveland-Ooltewah survivor will square off against top-seeded Bradley Central (20-5, 11-1) at 4:30.

Over at Polk County High School this evening, the host squads will battle Sweetwater for the final Region 3-AA berths and a spot in the district semifinals Saturday.

Bird lovers planning to join International Expeditions' Costa Rica ecotours will relish their time in Sarapiquí. The Sarapiquí region of Costa Rica's Heredia province is one of the few remaining locations where travelers can see the great green macaw. Keep your eyes on the trees to catch a glimpse of a macaw's nest, and listen for their crow-like call.

The Amazon region of South America is home to so many different species of animals it can be hard to keep track of who's who, but the black-capped squirrel monkeys tend to stand out from the pack. These tree-dwelling primates have brownish-yellow coats of fur with distinctly darker heads, white masks around their eyes and fuzzy elvish ears. They can be found in many tropical regions from Brazil to Peru and Bolivia, and even as far north as Costa Rica.
International Expeditions Media Relations Director Emily has just returned from a custom journey to Costa Rica with her family. Keep reading the IE Blog for more on the joys - and trials - of experiencing "Pura Vida" with kids.
It's no surprise that Central America has a lot to offer in the way of drinks that have a little bite to them, whether it's rum, sugar cane liquor, or in the way of lighter options, pilsner beer. However, there's more to Central America drinks. Today we feature a few of the best non-alcoholic drinks in Central America.
On your next Costa Rica ecotour with International Expeditions keep an eye out for the shining honeycreeper. This diminutive tanager is found throughout Central America and in parts of Colombia, and is easily recognizable due to its prominent royal blue coloration.
Costa Rica is one of the most popular ecotourism destinations in the world, and the 2012 Happy Planet Index (HPI) recently named the Central American nation the happiest country on the planet. To determine the ranking of 151 nations, the New Economics Foundation (NEF) in the U.K. analyzes countries based on their average life expectancies, ecological footprints and experienced well-being.
What do you think of when you think about Costa Rican cuisine? Just because it's considered Latin America, doesn't mean that Costa Rica is the land of tacos, quesadillas, and burritos. Costa Rica's food features many types of cuisines that you've probably never even heard of, let alone actually tried. While you may find variations of it in other Latin American countries or specialized restaurants, there is a uniqueness to Costa Rican cuisine.
Tortuguero National Park, one of Costa Rica's most famous wildlife refuges, is best known for the thousands of turtles that flock to the beaches to lay their eggs each summer. However, there are also many other unique species of animals and plants living in the region. Many trails wind their way through the park, and the El Gavilan Trail is just the ticket if you want to catch a glimpse of the park's wildlife and still get a chance to see turtles nesting on the Caribbean shore.
Judith Schenck has just returned from our February Costa Rica ecotour — her first journey with International Expeditions. Ms. Schenck had some definite expectations about her travels. So how did IE fare against her checklist?
All of the Monteverde Reserve is a gorgeous paradise, but one species there may be especially eye-catching to birders on International Expeditions' Costa Rica tours.

A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man Language and Communication Quotes
How we cite our quotes:
A feverish quickening of his pulses followed, and a din of meaningless words drove his reasoned thoughts hither and thither confusedly. (4.2.18)
Again, we see Stephen without any power of expression in a time of distress. Unlike the previous two instances, this "din of meaningless words" has nothing to do with physical lust. Rather, it's an indignant response of that simply scatters his thoughts for a moment, rather than oppressing them.
The phrase and the day and the scene harmonized in a chord. Words. Was it their colours? He allowed them to glow and fade, hue after hue: sunrise gold, the russet and green of apple orchards, azure of waves, the grey-fringed fleece of clouds. No, it was not their colours: it was the poise and balance of the period itself. Did he then love the rhythmic rise and fall of words better than their associations of legend and colour? Or was it that, being as weak of sight as he was shy of mind, he drew less pleasure from the reflection of the glowing sensible world through the prism of a language many-coloured and richly storied than from the contemplation of an inner world of individual emotions mirrored perfectly in a lucid supple periodic prose? (4.3.3)
Stephen returns to his appreciation of the physical world after he decides not to become a priest. As a result, Joyce rewards us with this rich explanation of why Stephen loves language so much. An interesting biographical note – Joyce himself was extremely shortsighted (he eventually went almost completely blind), so this is a personal explanation of the author's love of language.
His own consciousness of language was ebbing from his brain and trickling into the very words themselves which set to band and disband themselves in wayward rhythms:
The ivy whines upon the wall,
And whines and twines upon the wall,
The yellow ivy upon the wall,
Ivy, ivy up the wall.
Did anyone ever hear such drivel? Lord Almighty! Who ever heard of ivy whining on a wall? Yellow ivy; that was all right. Yellow ivory also. And what about ivory ivy? (5.1.15)
You know when you look at a word for so long that it ceases to have any meaning? That's what we thought of when we read this passage. Language, which is so important to Stephen, starts to frustrate him when it loses significance. The topic of controlling (or not controlling) language that we saw earlier also makes an appearance here.

Keep in mind; it tests the complete system (minus LCD monitor, which is plugged directly into AC wall socket).
There are a few important notes to remember though; while our maximum power is taken in 3DMark06 at the same exact point, we have seen in particular tests the power being drawn as much as 10% more. We test at the exact same stage every time; therefore tests should be very consistent and accurate.
The other thing to remember is that our test system is bare minimum - only a SSD hard drive is used with a single CD ROM and minimal cooling fans.
So while the system might draw 400 watts in our test system, placing it into your own PC with a number of other items, the draw is going to be higher.
Power draw on the model isn't bad, nowhere near the level the MSI Lightning is and a bit lower in both load and idle when compared to the Galaxy version. GIGABYTE promised us less power draw, and that's clearly true.
