The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

18 February 2011, Friday / TODAYa**S ZAMAN, A:DEGSTANBUL
US Ambassador Francis Ricciardone, speaking in Ankara on Thursday, said he
had not commented on the merits of a particular case while speaking
earlier about media freedom in Turkey, but said there were certain things
a**he was trying to understanda** as a foreigner.
The government recently warned the US ambassador in Ankara to stay out of
Turkey's internal affairs, referring to his comments on freedom of the
press, which followed the detention of journalists on charges of links
with Ergenekon, a clandestine network which prosecutors say has plotted to
topple the civilian government by fomenting chaos.
a**There is an ongoing investigation, and we do not find it appropriate
for any ambassador to pass judgment on the case,a** Foreign Minister Ahmet
DavutoA:*lu told reporters during a visit to Nepal on Thursday,
emphasizing that Turkey respects the principles of the rule of law. a**We
are confident in this respect, but it is important that ambassadors be
careful about their remarks,a** he said.
Ambassador Francis Riccardone told Turkish reporters on Tuesday that the
US is trying to make sense of Turkey's stated support for freedom of the
press and the detention of journalists. a**On the one hand there exists a
stated policy supporting a free press.
On the other hand, journalists are put in detention. We are trying to make
sense of this,a** Ricciardone said.
He was responding to a question regarding a police raid on anti-government
website Oda TV. The police detained its owner, journalist Soner
YalAS:A:+-n, and three colleagues over alleged links to the Ergenekon
network, leading to media accusations that press freedoms are being
Ricciardone also said that he did not know what the charges were and that
it was a domestic matter for Turkey. He reiterated the same in remarks on
Thursday, insisting that he had not commented on the a**meritsa** of Oda
TVa**s particular case but said there were certain things a**he was trying
to understanda** as a foreigner. a**Freedom of the press is as important
for us as it is for you. We always defend freedoms,a** Ricciardone was
quoted as telling reporters. a**Of course Turkey is a state governed by
rule of law. There is no question on that.a**
Similarly, DavutoA:*lu spoke of a a**misunderstandinga** surrounding the
debate over Ricciardonea**s remarks, explaining that Ricciardone had told
Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Feridun SinirlioA:*lu during a meeting on
Wednesday that he meant to underline that he did not have enough
experience in Turkey to fully understand what is going on. DavutoA:*lu
also said there was no official US initiative on this matter.
But in Washington, the State Department was more direct. Speaking at a
press conference on Wednesday, US Assistant Secretary of State for Public
Affairs Philip J. Crowley said that Washington stands by Ricciardonea**s
remarks and made it clear that the US is concerned over the treatment of
journalists in Turkey. a**We do have broad concerns about trends involving
intimidation of journalists in Turkey and we have raised that directly
with the Turkish government and wea**ll continue to do so,a** Crowley told
In Ankara, Interior Minister BeAA*ir Atalay was quick to respond to
Crowley, praising the state of press freedoms in Turkey. a**In terms of
press freedoms, Turkey is more advanced than the United States,a** Atalay
said when asked if Crowleya**s remarks are a sign of tension in US ties.
a**Turkey is a country which has more press freedoms than many advanced
democratic countries,a** he went on to say. Earlier, HA 1/4seyin A*elik, a
deputy chairman of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party),
said there was a line that ambassadors should not cross, although he
declined to directly criticize Ricciardone. a**Of course, ambassadors
cannot interfere in our internal affairs. They cana**t design our domestic
policy. They have an area designated for them on this subject,a** he said
on Wednesday.
Deputy Prime Minister BA 1/4lent ArA:+-nAS: also commented on the debate,
saying that whether journalists were involved in illegal activities
unrelated to freedom of expression was a matter for the courts. a**Maybe
the esteemed ambassador must serve a bit longer to see this detail,a**
ArA:+-nAS: said.
Opposition Republican Peoplea**s Party (CHP) leader Kemal
KA:+-lA:+-AS:daroA:*lu, who frequently accuses the government of silencing
opposition through the Ergenekon case, was reluctant to join the debate on
Ricciardonea**s remarks. a**This is what we know: There is no freedom of
the press in Turkey,a** KA:+-lA:+-AS:daroA:*lu said.
Close to 400 people, including politicians, academics and retired military
officers, are already on trial for involvement in Ergenekon, which is
named after a legendary ancestral valley believed to have been the home of
the Turks. Critics say the triala**s purpose is to intimidate and silence
government opponents, while the government has defended the Ergenekon
investigation as a move toward a stronger democracy.
Washington has accused Ricciardone, a former US ambassador to Egypt, of
having a**downplayeda** the US administrationa**s pro-democracy efforts in
Egypt. Former Senator Sam Brownback blocked Ricciardonea**s appointment
for several months due to his work in Egypt, which he said shows he would
be too soft on the Turkish government and ignore secular Turkish
opposition groups.
Ricciardone began his job late last month after US President Barack Obama
resorted to a rarely used a**recess appointmenta** in order to bypass the
Senate and install him as the new ambassador to Turkey. Ricciardone still
needs a confirmation vote from skeptical senators by the end of the next
congressal session at the end of 2011 for his appointment to remain in

Don't let go of hope.Hope gives you the strength to keepgoing when you feel like giving up.Don't ever quit believing in yourself.As long as you believe you can,you will have a reason for trying.Don't let anyone hold your happiness in their hands;hold it in yours, so it will alwaysbe within you reach.Don't measure success or failure bymaterial wealth, but by how you feel;our feelings determine the richnessof our lives.Don't let bad moments overcome you; be patient, and they will pass.Don't hesitate to reach out for help;we all need it from time to time.Don't run away from love but towardslove, because it is our deepest joy.Don't wait for what you want to come to you; go after it with all that you are, knowing that life will meet you halfway.Don't feel like you've lost when plansand dreams fall short of your hopes.Anytime you learn something new about yourself or about life, you have progressed.Don't do anything that takes away from your self-respect; feeling good about yourself is essential to feeling good about life.Don't ever forget how to laugh or betoo proud to cry.It is by doing both that we livelife to its fullest.Author unknown

Ever since I wrote about how casual relationships followed by the landmarks of healthy relationships , I've heard from many readers who wanted me to expand on these subjects some more. After observing relationships, I believe that healthy relationships have joint agendas and co-pilots and unhealthy ones have drivers and passengers with solo and hidden agendas . When you recognise the importance of being a co-pilot sans a hidden agenda, not only will it be far harder to be swept along by an unavailable or assclown tide, but you'll no longer be 'helpless' in your relationships and have the ability to work out where you're at. We can be very focused on the 'hallmarks' – these are what we consider to be the 'markings' of a relationship such as sleeping together over an extended period of time, having things in common , great sex, a 'connection', 'chemistry', future talk, being introduced to people, etc as well as big ticket commitment items like moving in, babies, marriage. These are nice, great even, to have, but without the landmarks, your relationship is all shirt, no trousers. Many people chase stuff like passion , chemistry and common interests and then wonder why things are not working. They assume that if these things are present that the landmarks will automatically follow. The landmarks of healthy relationships are intimacy, consistency, balance, progression, and commitment as well as shared values and what should come as standard in any relationship – love, care, trust, and respect. If you have the hallmarks without the landmarks, your relationship is either casual and/or unhealthy . Before you go doing any big ticket commitment items, I suggest you make sure that the landmarks are present first. We use dating as a discovery phase to discover the facts about one another and ultimately whether we can have a shared agenda that respects each party healthily as individuals while creating a common journey for the relationship. Healthy relationships have co-pilots steering it along with open discussion about the joint agenda as well as all of the landmarks – no hidden agendas. You will steer and plot your journey together and even if at times, one has to man the steering, they continue with the joint agenda. These are mutually fulfilling relationships. Unhealthy relationships/casual relationships have a driver and a passenger The driver steers the relationship on their terms, agenda, and 'route'. They may have a solo agenda that they're open about and/or may have a hidden agenda. They're sometimes egotistical enough to assume that their agenda is the joint agenda because it's what they want. You will know you're involved with a driver if you attempt to co-pilot and meet restrictions and conflict – they take a parachute and jump, or pull up on the route to say that they need to go to the 'toilet' and then disappear. Or maybe they'll steer the relationship so crazily that you panic and agree to let them be in control. You get the gist. Drivers are about getting their needs met. They often need a passenger for their ego etc, but they don't want to step up and put the needed effort into a co-piloted relationship – they're controlled and often controlling. Passengers basically take a backseat in the relationship. They tend to get swept up in other people's agendas because they're not as street smart (read: relationship smart) as they should be. They may actually be on this journey because through a lack of boundaries and latching onto the hallmarks of a relationship, they were not paying attention to code red and amber behaviour . Many passengers however, actually know the driver's agenda and hope to change it. They think if they love enough, get the driver to change, cry, beg, plead, wait, give them their money, that the driver will become a co-pilot and they'll have a joint agenda. Passengers with very low self-esteem look to others to create their agenda for them and give them validation. When the relationship ends, they feel lost. Passengers tend to have hidden agendas even though they won't always admit it. Sometimes the agenda is about changing the relationship (could be a mix of paying Florence Nightingale and trying to be the exception to the rule or I Can Change Them ), but it's also often about catering to the self-fulfilling prophecy of negative and unrealistic beliefs. Sometimes passengers try to be drivers or backseat drivers and get shot down. When they end the relationship or they get back together after the driver has promised that things will be different 'this time', they may actually feel like the driver. In some instances, it can seem like it's passenger:passenger – ie you're both really messed up together but you will find that under those layers, someone is actually the driver. Most drivers and passengers are trying to be drivers – they have 'ideas' about how they want the relationship to be and try to steer it that way. There are some passengers who actually want to take a backseat role and may be inclined to be victims or be helpless. Passengers and drivers have unhealthy relationship habits and are invariably emotionally unavailable so until they address their issues, being a co-pilot in a mutually fulfilling healthy relationship is unlikely because they are not prepared to be honest and vulnerable enough to risk a joint agenda. They forget that in a healthy relationship, each party is sharing the risk of being vulnerable to healthily emotionally engage and be authentic in the best interests of their own sense of self and the relationship.I've written before about why relationships don't always work out – because you're two potentially compatible people who may be doing stuff that's counterproductive that eventually ends up making you both incompatible or because you're actually incompatible, whether it's because you're two great people with different agendas due to your values etc or because it's an unhealthy relationship. It's important to recognise that addressing issues in relationships needs to be co-piloted too – you can't work at something where another person has their foot out the door, has already moved on, or is in denial. When you leave a relationship that isn't working for you, it's because you recognise that your agendas cannot be a joint one. If you want to establish a relationship on a good footing or quickly determine if you have a 'driver' on your hands, do not accept the default role of passenger and take an active role in shaping your relationship with partners. If you discover you're involved with a driver, don't burn up your life fuel trying to sort out what you think are their problems – address the issues that make you a passenger first. In some instances, when you change, the driver may adapt as well, but you're also likely to find that the relationship is no longer attractive because your mentality has changed. Basically always seek to be a co-pilot with a co-pilot. That is relationships in a nutshell. Your thoughts?

At Glow Salon & Spa, every aesthetician, hairstylist, and nail technician has an additional specialty: customer service. Manager Sandy Suter explains in her Patch video feature that all members of her small team undergo coaching to ensure that they emanate approachable warmth. Whether pampering hands with a sweet-almond and salt treatment or customizing a Redken conditioning regimen, they balance their expertise with intuition for the guest's aesthetic. Their tag line, "Define yourself," speaks to this personalized approach as well as a desire to exponentially increase the size of Webster's Dictionary.
The cosmetic team radiates a playful attitude as it adds fresh flair to primping rituals. Manicures and pedicures often conclude with nail art, which decorates digits in designs from swimming fish to polka dots, whereas hairstylists delight in adhering feather extensions and applying bold colors. Yet apart from aesthetics, the spa focuses on health?both for individuals and the community. Massage therapists unknot tense muscles and ease aches with Swedish and prenatal modalities, and hairstylists participate in community-bolstering programs, such as Locks of Love and cut-a-thons to benefit St. Louis Children's Hospital.
Imagine someone approaches with a smoothie made of organic peaches, blueberries, or mangoes, but instead of offering you a taste they gently spread its contents across your forehead and massage the sweet aromas into your skin. This surreal daydream happens daily at Pure Elegance Spa, where aestheticians devoted to organic skincare nourish complexions with their six signature fruit-smoothie facials and other treatments designed to nurse skin to optimal health. Oxygen therapy revives dull skin in tandem with parsley and cucumber, and microdermabrasion promotes cellular turnover deep within the dermis using an exfoliant of pears and poppy seeds. Beyond edible ingredients, many services also blend in products by Éminence Organic Skin Care—a Hungarian line that heals signs of aging and ushers toxins from the face and body without relying on chemicals or additives.
Those who prefer to save their appetite for later can skip the chocolate and margarita manicures in favor of airbrush makeup or waxing services that clear away fuzz on the face and body. Ocular enhancements include Xtreme Lashes eyelash extensions that add natural-looking drama, as well as an eye rescue treatment that aims to save peepers from puffiness, crow's feet, and madcap pokes from nearby Stooges.
Seasons Salon and Day Spa's pampering staff indulge clients with a m?lange of services that relax and tone bodies amid candlelight and muted earth tones. From salon treatments that sculpt and maintain chic coiffures to mani-pedis that primp nails and soften skin, a grab bag of beautification prepares clients for nights on the town and days spent standing still in a wax museum. Extravagant spa packages, such as the Little Black Dress, draw from a menu of massages and skin treatments to smooth away cellulite, burn calories, and revivify sagging visages with collagen treatments.
Experienced instructors also kick weight loss into high gear with fitness classes?ranging from yoga to Zumba?held within an expansive hardwood studio. Private tanning rooms sport draped ceilings and ambient lighting, gilding bodies in an atmosphere that's more relaxing than a cruise ship filled with down pillows.
A former Miss Seattle, board-certified physician Dr. Amy Miller knows firsthand how important it is to feel confident in your own skin. Having always possessed an interest in skincare and a desire to help others feel beautiful, she traded her pageant gown for a white lab coat and now spends much of her time training other physicians in the use of medical lasers. At St. Louis Skin Solutions, Dr. Miller helms a small staff that includes a licensed aesthetician and supervises all skin treatments, including laser hair and tattoo removal, Botox, and cellulite reduction. Beyond cosmetic enhancement, staff use their skincare expertise to screen for skin cancer, and can also harness laser energy to remove spider veins that don't respond to being slapped with a shoe.
A cornucopia of beautifying services await clients at The Face Company, where their visages and the bodies they're attached to undergo overhauls in the form of a number of procedures including Photofacials, Laser Hair Removal, Botox, Juv?derm, Skin Rejuvenation, Cellulite Reduction, and Teeth Whitening. The staff infuse youthfulness into clients with nonsurgical procedures, including spa services such as Airbrush Makeup and waxing services.
Toxins flee from the purifying paws of Blue Nile Spa's holistic healers, whose services fuse age-old practices with contemporary equipment to nurture soft, healthy skeleton-sheaths. Pamper your protoplasmic suit in a relaxing japanese bath steeped with mineral-rich seaweed and salts plucked from the Dead Sea. The rich combination of phytonutrients helps purge the pelt of impurities, allowing it to emerge after 20 minutes looking and feeling as smooth as a pair of Barry White's silk pajamas stuffed with chocolate mousse. Next, a gentle dry brushing shatters dead-skin barricades, liberating clogged pores and allowing them to warmly welcome the body wrap's jojoba and essential oils into their epidermal ranks. As clients relax on the treatment table, soothing rays of infrared heat warm the toxin-abating cocoon, stimulating circulation, melting aches and pains, and bestowing limbs with the ability to track weather patterns.

The bottom Line
The bottom line, is that passengers are NOT required to show ID in Amerika (Javol, your papers. Schnell!) and a dog making a funny face is NOT acceptable as probable cause for searching people. Thousands of times a day in America, police drag a dog over to a car and say "OH! look! he is signaling!" then they throw away the Constitution and go ahead and search you, no warrant, no "Oath or affirmation" etc.. When MARV was stopped, they told the K9 officer "we have no drugs" and Officer Doolittle responded "Are you calling my dog a liar!"
It is about civil rights. It is about the Constitution.

Doom and Bloom?

Some companies thriving despite downturn
The economy is going to hell, dot-coms are dying, pink slips are flying, teen-age millionaires are again penniless, and Cisco Systems no longer looks invincible. But amid the chaos, a number of companies are finding innovative ways to use the Internet and increase profits. At the risk of being inundated with other examples of profitable business models, we present a sampling of companies that may not make the daily headlines, but are pleasing investors with their Net initiatives.
Who Are You?
Avert, which provides background checks over the Internet, recently increased its special annual dividend by 67 percent. It also announced a merger and appears to be continuing a profitability streak that stretches back a decade. It earns the right to be included among five companies prospering by using the Internet. Averts customers are small and midsized companies without the staff to do complete background checks on job applicants. Automated Data Processing is a marketing partner that sells payroll processing services and offers Averts checks as a service. Averts researchers check local court, workers compensation, motor vehicle and other records, most of which are not online, to verify applicants information. Avert also provides customized online application forms that job seekers can fill out.
The Fort Collins, Colo., company stores information about the people it checks, but Avert is not a database supplier, says Dean Suposs, founder and president. "We always go out and get fresh information," he says. Revenue grew from $4.7 million in 1994 to $17.9 million in 2000 while net profits tripled from $970,000 to $2.7 million. Avert is buying Advantage Assessment, a developer of employee assessment technology, to keep that record intact.
Fly Away
Cheap tickets has done something the better-known Priceline.com could not -- avoided financial burnout. In April, the Honolulu company reported its ninth consecutive quarter of profits. Revenue was up 17 percent to $24.9 million while net income, at $1.2 million, was down from $2.3 million a year earlier. That was still ahead of analysts estimates. Internet sales account for 40 percent of total business, up from 38 percent a year ago. Cheap Tickets also has 12 retail outlets and a 1-800 sales program. The company estimates that gross bookings will be up 25 percent to 30 percent this year and gross margins will improve by 1 percent or 1.5 percent. Revenue is expected to rise 18 percent to 23 percent.
Matchmaker, Matchmaker
Catching a big wave back to the mainland, Investment Technology Group of New York supplies equity trading services to institutional investors and broker dealers, and has not suffered from the down market. The 1999 spin-off from Jeffries Group offers its Portfolio System for Institutional Trading (Posit), an online application that lets large investors match buy or sell orders eight times per day. It allows large investors to tailor their trades, such as by putting entire lists of stocks up for sale, instead of just one equity. The system is anonymous to minimize the impact on the market and conceal an investors strategy. Browser access to Posit was introduced last year and new analytical tools have been Web-enabled from the start, says Mark Wright, chief information officer. That has made it easier to deploy them internationally and won ready acceptance from investors who want to see at anytime, from anywhere, the impacts of their trades, Wright says. ITG continues to sail along. First-quarter profits were up 32 percent to $21 million on a 21 percent increase in revenue to $91.7 million. Between 1996 and 2001, revenue almost tripled to $310 million and profits soared from $41 million to $113 million.
Banking On the Net
Online banking has not been a big hit with consumers, but NetBank recently turned in its 12th consecutive profitable quarter. Operating income jumped to $797,000 from $101,000 a year ago. Net income was $797,000. Accounts more than doubled to 200,000 from 82,000, and 80 percent of those are checking and money market accounts. These have lower attrition rates, and with clients visiting the Web site several times per week, NetBank has more chances to cross-sell additional services. NetBank attributes its success to affinity marketing partnerships and targeted online advertising. Loans make up 70 percent of NetBanks $2 billion in assets; more than 80 percent of the loans are for single-family residences.
Information Please
OneSource Information Services Business Browser is a portal for information about companies, industries and markets for businesspeople. In April, OneSource reported its third consecutive profitable quarter on a 25 percent rise in revenue to $14.5 million and a seven-point improvement in gross margins. Net income was $600,000. Some dot-com customers have fallen by the wayside, but the number of customers has increased to 859 from 667 a year ago, says Dan Schimmel, president and CEO. They are also signing larger and longer contracts for OneSources services. Siebel Systems packages OneSources product with its own in many sales, he says. Roy Landon, chief financial officer, says second-quarter revenue is estimated at $15.3 million to $15.7 million, and earnings per share will likely come in at 7 cents or 8 cents, excluding noncash charges. For the year revenue should be $63 million to $66 million and earnings between 40 cents and 43 cents.

Crytek, developers of Crysis and a company known to push the limits of videogame visuals, have confirmed that their brand new engine, CryEngine 3, is running on the Wii U. While Crytek isn't showing anything just yet, they confirmed to Develop that the engine is running on the Wii U and that Crytek fully supports Nintendo's new console.
The CryEngine 3 was first showcased earlier this year with the release of Crysis 2 on the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The Wii U hardware has been estimated to be more powerful than both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, which means the engine shouldn't, technically speaking, have any problems running on the Wii U. Hopefully Crytek will reveal some new details soon. And a few screenshots and videos as well.
CryEngine 3 is available for licensing to developers and costs an estimated $1.8 million dollars per project.

You might want to look at Armalaser..when you put your finger on the trigger it lights up..
This is a discussion on To laser or not on defensive carry gun? within the Defensive Carry Holsters & Carry Options forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; You might want to look at Armalaser..when you put your finger on the trigger it lights up.....
You might want to look at Armalaser..when you put your finger on the trigger it lights up..
A laser sighting device will not make a competent shooter out of an incompetent one. One still has to be well grounded in marksmanship and especially trigger control basics.
In other than bright light situations, an automatic on laser (like a Crimson Trace) will make a competent shooter both faster and more accurate in defensive shooting situations that happen at distances between 3 and 11 yards.
A laser can be a usefull tool. My wife has a S&W 642 Airweight with CT laser grips. They was helpful to her to learn trigger control. IMO at 2a.m it's easier to find 1 red dot than regular or night sight's. My main reason of buying the snubby with the laser grips was for her at home.
Remember, Life is not like a box of chocolate's.. It's more like a jalapeno pepper, because what you decide upon today can really burn your butt tomorrow..
I like them. Only on my at home gun. My carry is pretty generic except big dot sights
With a laser you have to train with it and without it. You do not want to be dependent on one routine.
The reason I like lasers (Glock 19C & 23 both with Crimson Trace) is explained in this video:
Crimson Trace Laser Sights - The Art Of Survival - Chapter 5 - YouTube
That video is excellent.
The trouble with "get more training" is that it is very difficult to get enough formal training for what he was doing in that video economically to matter, and informally nothing he was doing would be allowed at the range I go to.
My 2 cents- seems to me like when I can get into position and see the front sight I ignore the spot because I am fixed on the front sight. When I can't get into position or see the front sight the laser is clutch. I don't see the downside to having it in the toolbox other than holster searching.
Posts are for entertainment only. I have no training, database, background, knowledge of law, skills, or conviction of belief that anything I post is safe or relevant for your situation and bear no responsibility for any actions or events related to your interpretation of any of my post(s).
I purchased a NEBO PROTEC laser site for 30 bucks. Since I've never used a lazer before I thought I would get one at the price to play with. If you want a good laser, I suggest you check this one. I think it is very well made, even though I will likely not ever use it.
You will certainly see how far off your siting can be when you use a laser. I have mine sited for about 20 feet. At 10 feet I hope the red light will scare the perp enough to crap himself and set down.

Country has had a memorable couple of weeks, including some scintillating performances at the Grammys, news on filmmaker Ken Burns' upcoming documentary on the genre, and a slew of Nashville stars streaming through Jay Leno's final episodes of "The Tonight Show."
But that's all just been leading up to Sunday, when CBS airs a two-hour tribute to one of the greatest country bands of all time, with "The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to the Beatles."
What? You don't think the Beatles are a country band?
Are you trying to tell me you don't think "country" when you hear the boozy Nashville swing of "Rocky Raccoon," the straight-up bluegrass of "I've Just Seen a Face" or the rockabilly squawk of "What Goes On"?
OK, OK, maybe I'm exaggerating a little — the Beatles, obviously, were so much more than a country act. But there's no denying that Nashville was a huge influence on the boys from Liverpool.
The Beatles' biggest rivals from back in the day, the Rolling Stones, get a lot of credit — and deservedly so — for practically inventing, along with Gram Parsons, the distinctive, grungy alt-country sound of the early 1970s.
But I've always felt the Beatles' genuine affection for country music, on full display years before The Stones came up with "Exile on Main Street," gets lost in the shuffle — they blended and borrowed so effortlessly from so many musical styles and influences.
Listening to the early Beatles, you hear country's impact everywhere, including in George Harrison's Chet Atkins and Carl Perkins-flavored riffs on "Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby" and "Honey Don't," John Lennon's honky-tonk wail on "I'm a Loser," and Ringo Starr's dead-on Bakersfield delivery in the band's classic cover of Buck Owens' "Act Naturally."
Even after the Beatles' breakup, Paul McCartney and Mr. Starr experimented with country in the 1970s. Mr. McCartney used an all-star group of Nashville session players to record the obscure but irresistible "Sallie G," and Mr. Starr recorded an entire country album, "Beaucoups of Blues," that featured a young Charlie "Devil Went Down to Georgia" Daniels on guitar and Elvis' backup singers, The Jordanaires, on harmony.
The album didn't sell a lot, but some still consider it to be Mr. Starr's best solo work.
Mr. Harrison's Traveling Wilburys won the Grammy for best rock performance in 1989, but "Traveling Wilburys Vol. 1" sounds more like a country album than a lot of the slick pop records Nashville puts out today.
Although The Beatles have borrowed, collectively and individually over the years from country, country has returned the favor, with Emmylou Harris ("Here, There and Everywhere"), Rascal Flatts ("Revolution") and David Ball ("I'll Follow the Sun") essaying fresh country takes on Beatles favorites.
This Sunday's tribute show, recorded last month, is chock-full, as you might expect, with pop artists — Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart reuniting as the Eurythmics, offering their take on "Fool on the Hill"; the omnipresent Dave Grohl crunching through "Hey Bulldog"; Maroon 5 with "All My Loving" and "Ticket to Ride"; and Katy Perry with a soulful "Yesterday."
But Nashville will be well represented, too.
Keith Urban trades guitar licks with Miss Perry's boyfriend, John Mayer, on "Don't Let Me Down," and Brad Paisley (what, Blake Shelton wasn't available?) and Pharrell Williams teamed up for "Here Comes the Sun."
Mr. Paisley, one of the biggest stars on the country scene over the past 10 years or so, is accustomed to playing to packed stadiums and notching No. 1 hits. But he acknowledged that he was a little nervous performing Beatles songs to an audience that included Mr. Starr and Mr. McCartney, the two surviving members of the Fab Four.
"There are reasons why people get blasted [by critics] when they cover Beatles songs in any situation. But we're all doing that tonight, so I guess it's an even playing field," he said.
Mr. Starr, who joined Mr. McCartney for a rousing singalong "Hey Jude" to close the show, was philosophical about the decadeslong musical and cultural phenomenon that swept up four lads from Liverpool, and he shared his thoughts on the missing bandmates, Mr. Lennon and Mr. Harrison.
"We were in a band. It's called the Beatles. And if we play, John and George are always with us. It's always John, Paul, George and Ringo," he told fans.
"The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to the Beatles" will be broadcast at 8 p.m. EST — exactly 50 years, to the minute, after the band's first appearance on "The Ed Sullivan Show."

Thursday Night Football Recap — Panthers Beat Buccaneers, 31-13
Cam Newton passed for two touchdowns and ran for another score, and the Carolina Panthers dominated the Buccaneers, 31-13, in Tampa on Thursday night.
Cam Newton passed for two touchdowns and ran for another score, and the Carolina Panthers dominated the Buccaneers, 31-13, in Tampa on Thursday night.
Peyton Manning had a bittersweet homecoming in Indianapolis, and injuries to several key players could reshape the playoff picture. Here's what we learned in Week 7 of the 2013 NFL season:
As the NFL nears the halfway mark of the 2013 season, division races are starting to heat up in both conferences. Here are five storylines we're following this week:
The Seattle defense recorded seven sacks and two interceptions, and the Seahawks beat the Cardinals, 34-22, in Glendale, Ariz. on Thursday night.
Tom Brady showed his old magic, and Kansas City and Denver remained unbeaten on the sixth sunday of the 2013 NFL season. Here's what we learned:
Jay Cutler passed for 262 yards and two touchdowns, and the Chicago defense intercepted New York's Eli Manning three times, as the Bears beat the Giants, 27-21, at Soldier Field on Thursday night.
Week 5 of the 2013 NFL season brought a few upsets and plenty of exciting games. Here's what we learned in the fifth week of the 2013 regular season:
We are beginning to see which teams will be chased — and who will be doing the chasing — throughout the 2013 NFL season. Here are five things we learned from Sunday's games:
Frank Gore ran for 153 yards and a score, and Colin Kaepernick threw two touchdown passes as the San Francisco 49ers dominated the Rams, 35-11 in St. Louis on Thursday night.
Peyton Manning passed for 374 yards and three touchdowns, and the Broncos easily beat the Oakland Raiders, 37-21, on Monday night in Denver.
The New England Patriots remained undefeated after the third week of the 2013 NFL season. That might be the only thing that's going according to script thus far.

Your credibility shall suffer with me andpossibly others on this board if in the event you choosenot to answer these questions.i cannotunderstand why you continue to attack Onvia or whether youeven hold shares currently. your answers to thequestions will help define your position and give me abetter understanding of your circumstance, and thus abetter dialogue.so if you would, please answer thequestionsIf you hold shares but believe price going down andwill never recover, then sell it and move on insteadof incurring further loss.If you believestock price will continue to drop short term but riseat a future date, then sell short and buy back at alater "reduced" price thereby getting more shares forthe same $investment.If you feel that thisstock will be a long term winner like i do, then whythe pessimism?What is your angle/strategy,are you a day trader that has lost money on this andare bitter? what are your current holdings, and whatwas your entry price on ONVIA? I will replyto your questions. will you reply to mine. im surethat the board would be interested toknow.p.s. My beliefs are separate from my stock holdings ofcompanies i choose and are more relevant to my lifedecisions than any stock could ever become.
As the kid says, Nanee nanee booboo
and move on to some other stock to short.how's dat for content? did i spell everyting wright?
in style. ICGE, ONVI, CMRC, ARBA all back with a vengeance. Up over 10% on a flat Nasdaq.We should see valuations rise to 50% of previous highs. You do the math.
messeges. Your wrong assumptions about who postswhat is meaningless. Back to reality, What do youthink about Onvia offering goods through Mercata? Morevolume, more exposure, but will it lead to a betterbottom line? If Onvia is a middleman or intermediary inits regular business what does selling throughMercata make ONVI?
gooodexcuse,I don't concern myself withspelling and typos in email. Neither does anyone else whospends much time on-line. Content rather thanpresentation.As for saying I've posted "inaccurate statementsabout post of others", I don't know what you're talkingabout. Perhaps you're jumpy cause I may have pegged you,like others on some of these boards, as someone whouses more than one screen name. As far assticking to "facts", I don't see any facts in any of yourmessages...
1. I am not bobo2. I never said ONVI had"nowhere (yes, that's one word) to go but in the toilet".I actually have said that, despite the negatives,it was probably not a bad bet at $5. I also havespecifically said that some dotcoms were going to make a tonof money BUT some are not (please let me know ifthat seems to be an unreasonable statement).I knowthe impulse to act, and post (and structure yoursentences) like a seven year old gets a bit overwhelming attimes, but please try to restrain yourself. If you dohave to post, try sticking to the facts instead ofrants filled with inaccurate statements about the postsof others.Regards
Bobo & GoodExcuse (one & the same),OKfolks, ONVI's just got such terrible fundamentals, burnrates, margins, and oh those terrible interest rates. Ithink you're right - Onvi's just got no where to goalong with all these other internet startups but in thetoilet. Now, are you happy?
what bobo's motivations are, I think dismissinghis posts as unsubstantiated bashing is way off themark. You may not appreciate the tone of his posts, butburn rates, margins, interest rates, etc. are plaincold facts with direct bearing on the future of thiscompany. It's a lot more "factual" stuff than the "goodidea" "smart people" lines which seem to be the onlysupport that the Pollyannas on this board cite.
As investors and contributors of usefull info reONVI we care a great deal if we're having to have tosift through pages of useless negativity with nosubstantiation. Previously I backed up Amazing's request for ananswer to her questions. Bobo called us a 'Duo'. Perhapsso to the extent that I found Amazing's postsconstructive whereas Bobo's the opposite. I'm the 'long' onethat can "afford to be". Didn't say anything aboutafford to 'lose' as Bobo elludes to.Enough ofsoap opera. I don't have any factual or helpfull ONVInews to share at this point but will when I do. Untilthen - happy trails to $18 and please, Bobo will youtell us what's your interest in ONVI!
I don't care what boboli's 'motivations' are forposting, and I wish he would tone down the bilecontent...BUT...he does make a point about negative margins and theinternet economy and ONVI. Focusing on WHY he posts hereisn't going to make his points more or less accurate.Who cares?

Plus, I smoke more weed than there's food at the store
I think it's kinda funny, right?
from Das Racist (Ft. Roc Marciano) – Roc Marciano Joint Lyrics on Genius
The inherent joke in these lines is that Kool smokes more weed than the munchies in the store that he's craving, which would become both an awesome experience, and a horrendous hunger problem.

I figured there be at least a small criticism about
Anything but colt............
I've owned Kimbers before. I can't imagine outsourcing the break-in period! An owner needs that opportunity of 500 rounds to just get to know their new pistol. If you can't even take the time to break in your own gun, then you shouldn't be carrying a 1911. Just my opinion, though. You gotta get to know your sidearm.
Texan By Birth & Choice USMC/VIET NAM VET
My average practice session is around 500 rounds. So you can imagine the round count on any one of my carry guns. The majority of them through my 1911s through the years. Hell, I'd put 500 rounds through someones 1911 anytime. Sound like fun !!!!!!!! Jim.
My grandpa always said," id ya aint learnin somthin new everyday ya might as well be dead". With that said, i enjoy the 1911 forom and am constantly learning something new. Its the knowledge that cane is not afraid to share that makes him stand out. For that i applaued him and will always listen ti what he has to say. There are others on here in diffent areas that i would also listen to and learn from. Olympus his grips are awesome and he seams to be very knowlegable to what he speaks, there for i will pay attention and hopefully learn more. There are many orhers on here that come up with good info, maybe not all the time but excellent none the less. I may not know as much as others on here, but to those who share the 100% true knowledge thank you.

So much has already been said, but a place I would definately reserve again. Just finished a 2 day stay here for nearby wedding. The property is the perfect size. Staff is friendly and accomodating. We were able to get early check-ins for our rooms.
Plus: Great lounge with happy hour prices for drinks and small plates, complimentary waters at turn down, turn down service, free wi-fi, heated swimming pool and hot sauna, shuttles to upper building and near-by venues within 2 miles, large rooms with patios, comfy beds, fan in bathroom, good water pressure in shower, room safe, free apples at desk.
Cons: No Jacuzzi, small closet, small flat-screen, although other rooms had bigger TV's, few venues in area to walk to, dark hallways, Valet park only.
I did not try the restaurant or spa. Maybe with my next visit.

Meditating DailyÔÇŽ"No Matter What.ÔÇŁ
Even after practicing and teaching meditation for more than 35 years now, I truly understand that sustaining a regular practice can be challenging.
During the 12 years I lived in an ashram, for instance, I had others to practice with each day. With that kind of support, creating the time for daily meditation became a given in my life. It wasnÔÇÖt as easy after I left. Within a year I gave birth to my son, Narayan, and found myself with a new infant and an increasingly erratic schedule.
One morning, I woke up feeling particularly ornery and, after I snapped at NarayanÔÇÖs father for forgetting something at the supermarket, he recommended that I take some time to meditate. I handed the baby over, plunked down in front of my little altar, and immediately dissolved into tears.
I missed the rhythm of my practice. I missed making regular visits to myself! In those moments, with the sun flooding through the windows, and the background sounds of my husband chatting away to Narayan, I made a vow. No matter what, IÔÇÖd create time each day to come into stillness and pay attention to my experience. But there was a ÔÇťback doorÔÇŁ—how long I sat didnÔÇÖt matter.
Ever since, I've made the time. I usually meditate 30 to 45 minutes in the morning, but there have been days, especially when Narayan was young, when it didnÔÇÖt happen. Instead, IÔÇÖd sit on the edge of my bed right before going to sleep, and would intentionally relax my body, opening to the sensations and feelings that were present. Then, after a few minutes, I would say a prayer and climb under the covers.
As my body has changed and long sittings have become more difficult, IÔÇÖll often do a standing meditation. Still, the commitment to daily practice ÔÇťno matter whatÔÇŁ has been one of the great supports of my life.
For some people I know, my approach is a setup for self-punishment. Something happensÔÇöa bad cold, falling asleep early, simply forgettingÔÇöand the promise has been broken.
The bottom line is to enjoy, not stress over, a meditation practice.
As Julia Child famously said, ÔÇťIf you drop the┬álamb, just pick it up. WhoÔÇÖs going to know?ÔÇŁ If you miss practice for a day, a week or a month, simply begin again. ItÔÇÖs okay.
So, how long should you practice? Between 15 and 45 minutes works for many people. If you are new to meditation, 15 minutes may seem like an eternity, but that impression will change as your practice develops. If you meditate each day, you'll experience noticeable benefits (less reactivity, more calm) and youÔÇÖll probably choose to increase your practice time. Whatever the length, itÔÇÖs best to decide┬ábefore beginning and have a clock or timer nearby. Then, rather than getting entangled in thoughts about when to stop, you can fully give yourself to the meditation.
Many contemplative traditions recommend setting a regular time of day to meditateÔÇöusually early in the morning, because the mind is calmer on waking than it is later in the day. However, the best time for you is the time you can realistically commit to on a regular basis. Some people choose to do two short meditations, one at the beginning of the day and one at the end.
If possible, dedicate a space exclusively to your daily meditation. Choose a relatively protected and quiet place where you can leave your cushion (or chair) so that it is always there to return to. You may want to create an altar with a candle, inspiring photos, statues, flowers, stones, shellsÔÇöwhatever arouses your sense of beauty, wonder and the sacred. This is certainly not necessary, but it can help create a mood and remind you of what you love.
Unless you feel enriched by meditation, you will not continue. ItÔÇÖs hard to feel enriched if you get mechanical, if you practice out of guilt, if you judge yourself for not progressing, or if you lock into the grim sense that ÔÇťIÔÇÖm on my own.ÔÇŁ One of the best ways to avoid these traps is to practice with others. You might look for an existing meditation class with a teacher, or find a few friends who are interested in sharing the experience together.
If you are able, attending a weekend or week-long residential retreat will deepen your practice as well as your faith in your own capacity to become peaceful and mindful. This is a wonderful time to be practicing meditation! Meditators have a growing pool of resourcesÔÇöCDs, books, podcasts, teachers and fellow meditatorsÔÇöto support and accompany them as they walk this path.
The most important thing to remember is your┬ácommitment┬áto practice ÔÇťno matter what,ÔÇŁ even if itÔÇÖs for just a few moments out of your day.
As one of my students put it recently, ÔÇťJust having those moments to be quiet is a gift to my soul.ÔÇŁ It┬áis┬áa gift to the soul. Stepping out of the busyness, stopping our endless pursuit of getting somewhere elseÔÇöeven if itÔÇÖs just one minute at a timeÔÇöis perhaps the most beautiful offering we can make to our spirit.

Posted October 21, 2003
This is a very interesting book, especially if you are in the older half of the population, enjoy scientific mysteries, or are otherwise interested in theories of biological aging. The book makes a pretty good logical case that aging is a potentially highly treatable condition and that therefore we, specifically the U.S. Government National Institutes of Health, should be spending a lot more money on anti-aging research. The author thinks a fifty-percent improvement in human life span is a reasonably short-term possibility. In this case the scientific quandary, (the dilemma of the title), is whether or not aging is an evolved characteristic in the same way that eyes, claws, and fangs are the result of evolution. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence that aging is evolved but Darwin¿s theory of evolution says aging can¿t be an evolved characteristic because it is adverse to survival and therefore counter to survival-of-the-fittest. This has resulted in two scientific camps. The larger camp goes with Darwin¿s theory and has produced at least three different theories in which aging is not evolved but is some sort of defect or fundamental unchangeable property of life. The smaller camp, (including the author), has developed at least three different theories that say that aging is evolved and that Darwin¿s 143 year old theory needs at least some minor adjustments to accommodate aging and some other similarly incompatible characteristics of animals. According to the book, Darwin himself thought aging was evolved, despite his theory! Why should we care? The people in the non-evolved camp tend to believe that aging is inescapable and that therefore anti-aging research is a waste of time and money. The people in the evolved camp tend to think the chance for major medical intervention in aging is much better. Depending on theories, researchers will look in different places for answers. One thing seemed clear to me: The scientific justification for the idea that aging is an unalterable fact of life is rather weak. This is significant considering that, (according to the author), about 80 percent of the public and a probably larger percentage of health professionals think that major improvements in life span are either impossible or very unlikely. Along the way to these conclusions, the book provides a lot of interesting factoids about human mortality, miscellaneous bizarre aging and life span characteristics of various animals and other organisms, summaries of all the theories including Darwin¿s theory of natural selection, and results of a survey on public opinions about aging. The author maintains a web site that provides one-click access to on-line resources cited in the book. This book is relatively free of scientific jargon.

In terms of construction value, last year was record-breaking with Dilworth, Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo collectively bringing in nearly $1.4 billion through 4,436 building permits. The number of permits issued last year is the highest since 2008. Total permits and values include housing, multi-family, new commercial, residential and commercial remodeling, public and miscellaneous categories.
Click here to view the 2014 year-end building permit report.
Compared to 2013, total construction value more than doubled, total permits increased 8 percent and housing permits increased 2 percent. Compared to the 20-year average, total value more than tripled, total permits were up 12 percent and housing starts were up 33 percent.Housing starts for all communities combined hit 1,178, accounted for 27 percent of total permits issued, and reached their highest level since 2005.
HBA of F-M President Clay Dietrich, Dietrich Homes, Inc., says, "It's an understatement to say our area's construction sector is busy. With our community as a whole seeing increases last year in all categories, and more people moving here, it's more important than ever to secure permanent flood protection."
Dilworth, Moorhead and West Fargo surpassed last year's total number of permits issued: Fargo was short of reaching last year's number by just one permit, but had the largest increase in percentage of dollar volume. Moorhead saw the biggest jump in the total number of building permits with a 23-percent increase over last year. West Fargo was close behind with a 17-percent increase.
For housing starts, Moorhead had a strong year with 209 permits, a 57-percent increase over last year. However, it experienced decreases in its multi-family and commercial permits. Fargo saw a 28-percent decrease in housing starts, but experienced a 52-percent increase in multi-family activity and a 20-percent increase in commercial construction. West Fargo had an 83-percent increase in commercial permits, with strong increases in housing and multi-family permits, too. Dilworth's housing-permit activity increased by 44 percent.
West Fargo was the leader in residential remodeling permits with a 17-percent increase; Moorhead followed with a 10-percent jump. Fargo experienced a slight decrease, and Dilworth's decreased by 27 percent.
Dietrich points out that the reduction in Fargo's home-building and remodeling activity last year may be the result of buyers choosing one of the other three communities who have more robust flood control in place and that will not see the major flood insurance cost impacts that Fargo will.
"Each of our communities rely on one another. Many people who work in Fargo, live in Moorhead, West Fargo and Dilworth, and vice versa. The Diversion doesn't only protect Fargo, it ensures economic vitality for our entire metro area and everyone who lives and works here," he says.
Each quarter, the HBA contracts with Fiebiger, Swanson, West & Co. to compile the building permits from Dilworth, Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo into a uniform report for the industry's and media's use. It includes summaries for each city, types of construction, valuations and comparisons to the past four years, as well as comparisons to five-year and 20-year averages.
The HBA of F-M promotes an environment in which members and their businesses can prosper. It is a non-profit trade association of over 800 members that has been in existence since 1956. Its public events include the Spring Parade of Homes, Fall Parade of Homes, Remodeled Home Tour and Red River Valley Home & Garden Show.
