Mexico Topics
Democracy Now! stories, posts and pages that relate to Mexico
We look at the drug war in Mexico and efforts to demand accountability in thousands of cases of people who have been kidnapped, tortured, disappeared and killed. Newly declassified cables from U.S. embassies and consulates in Mexico reveal how drug cartels there have operated with "near impunity" in recent years. In many cases they are exerting control over government authorities and entire regions as they kidnap and kill anyone at...November 14, 2013 | Story
Anabel Hernández has been described as one of the most courageous journalists in Mexico. In 2010, she published a groundbreaking book linking top Mexican governmental officials to the world's most powerful drug cartels. She received so many death threats that the National Human Rights Commission assigned her two full-time bodyguards. Despite the danger, she continued to report. In 2012, she received the Golden Pen of Freedom award from...September 27, 2013 | Story
As Congress continues to shape an immigration reform bill that could provide a path to citizenship for some 11 million undocumented residents, we look at the overlooked plight of migrants from Central and South America who travel through Mexico en route to the United States. Many of them are fleeing violence and poverty in their countries only to face robberies, beatings and kidnappings by smugglers who hold them for ransom. Human rights...May 23, 2013 | Story
A joint investigation by the Washington Monthly and the Investigative Fund at The Nation Institute has found over the past five years U.S. border agents have shot across the border at least 10 times, killing a total of six Mexicans on Mexican soil. The killings have gone unpunished after a court ruled the Mexican victims have no standing to sue in U.S. courts since they died on their own soil. Investigative reporter John Carlos Frey writes:...May 07, 2013 | Story
The new film "The Girl" examines the issue of undocumented immigrants and human smuggling across the U.S.-Mexico border. Starring award-winning actress Abbie Cornish, "The Girl" tells the story of a young, down-and-out Texas mother who loses her son to foster care and subsequently gets involved with trying to smuggle Mexicans into the United States. Her plan goes awry, and she finds herself stranded with a young Mexican...March 07, 2013 | Story
We continue our look at the massive bribery scandal behind Wal-Mart's expansion into Mexico. "We found amazing instances of Wal-Mart building in places where, at least based on environmental rules or zoning rules or construction rules, they absolutely shouldn't have been allowed to build. And yet, they pulled this off," says David Barstow, the New York Times reporter who broke the story. [includes rush transcript]January 08, 2013 | Web Exclusive
New details have emerged in the massive bribery scandal behind Wal-Mart's expansion into Mexico, where the corporate giant now operates one in five of its stores. After exposing the bribery earlier this year, the New York Times has now visited dozens of Mexican towns and cities to document the payoffs the company used to get its way. We're joined by the Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times reporter who broke the story, David...December 20, 2012 | Story
At a time of heated and divisive debate over immigration, the new feature-length documentary, "Harvest of Empire," examines the direct connection between the long history of U.S. intervention in Latin America and the immigration crisis we face today. Based on the groundbreaking book by award-winning journalist and Democracy Now! co-host Juan González, "Harvest of Empire" takes an unflinching look at the role that U.S....September 25, 2012 | Story
A peace caravan led by Mexican activists has kicked off a month-long journey across the United States to call for an end of the U.S.-backed drug war. The caravan will criss-cross some 20 states to "call for change in the bi-national policies that have inflamed a six-year Drug War, super-empowered organized crime, corrupted Mexico's vulnerable democracy, claimed lives and devastated human rights on both sides of the border." The...August 16, 2012 | Story
Mexico's old ruling party, Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI), is set to return to power after early election results indicate the PRI candidate Enrique Peña Nieto has won the presidential election. Peña Nieto's chief rival, the leftist candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has not conceded, but the PRI has already claimed victory.

The growing interest of the Italian companies – the world-leaders in sports goods manufacturers – in the UAE epitomizes the strategic importance of the country as the budding hub of sports in the Middle East.
Twelve top Italian companies discussing future cooperation and business collaboration at a roundtable and meeting organized on December 9 at The Palace Hotel, Downtown on Sheikh Zayed Road. The roundtable, being held under the patronage of UAE General Authority of Youth and Sports Welfare, organized by the Italian Trade Commission-Dubai, Trade Promotion Section of the Italian embassy in the UAE.
The roundtable is supported by the Italian Association of Sporting Goods Manufacturers (Assosport) and the national association representing business in the Italian sports sector. The meeting in Dubai, one of the firsts in the regional sports sector, is driven by the inherent business potential in Middle East, where general attention to sport events and quality sport practices are growing fast.
The roundtable involves UAE top official sports authorities that will highlight the main development in sport sector & industry in the Emirates and the procedures to evolve the cooperation between Italy & the UAE.
Mr Ibrahim Abdulmalik-Secretary General of the General Authority of Youth & Sports Welfare; Dr. Ahmed Saed Al Sahrif- Secretary General of Dubai Sports Council, Mr. Abdul Rahman Falaknaz- founder of the Dubai sport city; Mr Saeed Khalfan-Chairman of Dubai Autodrome; Dr Ashraf Sobhi- Director General of Al Qudra Sport Management; Mr.Hamad Bin Mejren –Director Inward Investment at Dubai Tourism Department, were all present at the event. From the Italian Side; Mrs Mauela Viel- Director General of Assosport, Mr Salvatore Angrisano- Representative of Italian Institute of Foreign Trade in Rome, Mr Rodolfo Panatta- President of Assofitness.
UAE-based companies dealing in sports manufacturing, sportswear, fitness equipment and related fields will be holding bilateral meetings with their Italian counterparts to discuss potential agencies agreement, partnerships and Join ventures.
The UAE's increasing profile as the preferred sports hub can be gauged from the fact that it currently plays hosts to numerous world-class events in various disciplines, including horse racing, motor racing, golf, tennis, football, rugby, cricket, sailing, powerboat racing and other competitive sports.
In his comments, Dr. Ferdinando Fiore, the Italian Trade Commissioner-Dubai, said: "The business opportunities on offer are immense, considering that the country is currently making massive investments across various infrastructural and sports projects like the Dubai Sports City and Dubai Autodrome. The completion of dedicated adventure sports venues like Ski Dubai, the third largest indoor ski facility in the world, and related wellness domain like health clubs reflect the potential in store for Italian sports goods manufacturers."
Assosport is looking forward to a very promising dialogue with UAE companies. In his comments, Mrs Manuela Viel, Director General of Assosport, said: "The delegation of 12 companies reflects the potential for sport equipment, fitness accessories and sportswear in this part of the world. The characteristics and the assets of Italian sporting goods are in full tune with the local market. Italy represents excellence in sporting goods manufacturing system in all the described characteristics and products. We look forward to gain a foothold in this strategic regional sports industry."
It is worth mentioning here that the global consumption of sports goods has registered a 4 per cent growth last year to touch a whopping $256 billion. While North America and Europe leads in the consumption, Middle East offers a promising market, given the potential for sporting events.
Apart from exploring new opportunities for the Italian sports sector, the roundtable also offers an unprecedented chance for the visiting delegation to invest in the UAE market.
The top Italian companies present at the roundtable include Colle S.p.A, Gipsy S.p.A, Bailo S.p.A, Meeting Group S.p.A, JMC S.r.L, Idea S.p.A, Roces S.r.L, Runner S.n.C, E.R. Rovera S.p.A, Fit Interiors S.r.L, Waterfly S.r.L. and Panatta Sport SRL. The Italian Sports Industry boasts of over 800 leading companies with a total turnover of Euro 14 billion, of which 70 per cent is from export earnings.

It's all about the merchandising! LucasArts recently unveiled a custom Star Wars-themed Xbox 360 and Kinect console combo. Presented at a panel presentation at this year's Comic-Con, the custom Xbox 360's design is inspired by brave little droid R2-D2 and will play custom sounds. The package also includes goldenrod-friendly C-3PO designs for the controllers (check out the wires at the controller's base!).
Priced at $449.99, the Xbox 360 Limited Edition Kinect Star Wars Bundle includes a 320GB hard drive and is available to pre-order at select retailers (we found listings at Amazon.com).
As avid Star Wars fans, the only item we're not crazy about in the bundle is the included copy of Star Wars Kinect. You can read more in our hands-on impressions of the flail-friendly motion-control game here.

American: Pan-Seared Bluefish at Bergamot
There is buzz that chef-owner Keith Pooler could be behind a new restaurant, Angel's Share, coming to Inman Square. That's good news for fans of Pooler's Bergamot, of which there are plenty; it ranked top for American cuisine. That's probably thanks to favorite plates like this pan-seared bluefish with braising greens, fingerling potatoes, corn, bacon lardons and white-wine clam sauce. Seconds, please.

A scientific essay by Amir D. Aczel
< read all 1 reviewsWhile written in direct and acknowledged response to Richard Dawkins and other "New Atheists", Aczel doesn't craft his argument around point by point refutation of their arguments that God is not only dead but never existed. Rather he goes to the source--the scientific and mathematical principles of cosmology, infinity, anthropism, and quantum physics to show how these leading edge and sometimes bizarre and puzzling theories and equations do not disprove God.
Notice his use of the phrase "do not": while the reader might conclude that these theories "can not" or "never will" disprove God, Aczel does not use those phrases. While I suspect he might lean in that direction in the near term, he lets the science and math speak for itself, and there are some pretty powerful theoretical limits to what these tools of the human mind "can know" today.
He is no friend of Christianity or the polar opposites and special targets of Dawkins and crew, creationists, but neither is he dismissive of any faith or belief in God as a creator or intelligent force in, outside, or pre-existent of the universe. He also doesn't use the "separate but equal" argument, which I have always found demeaning to both religion and science and as stupid and despicable as the same argument applied to civil rights.
In fact, his main line of argument reminds me of Paul's early declaration of the scientific evidence in favor of God (Romans 1:20):
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
How much of God and creation remain--despite man's vast knowledge and discovery about the world from the quark to the universe--invisible, eternal, divine, and unknown, even when clearly seen. By showing us the invisible, eternal, and divine outside the reaches of science, Aczel may help us more clearly see.

Elevator Repair Service tells the naked truth about Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Inc.
Last year, The Public Theater co-produced, to great acclaim, GATZ (a unique word-for-word staging of The Great Gatsby) created and performed by Elevator Repair Service (ERS), one of America's most acclaimed theater ensembles. This season, The Public reunites with ERS for a co-production of ARGUENDO, a playful riff on the 1991 Supreme Court case Barnes v. Glen Theatre. In this provocative case, a group of exotic dancers, citing the First Amendment, challenged a ban on public nudity. ERS stages the oral argument of the case verbatim with their signature theatricality, wit and physical precision. The production design features a breathtaking swirl of animated text projections by celebrated visual artist, Ben Rubin.

Network Printing
How does one connect to a network printer with Puppy? With Knoppix (I'm using Kanotix live CD as I type) You just search your network, but Puppy only offers local printer options as far as I can tell. I want to use the printer attached to my Kanotix machine. I know it's address. I know it's name (lpstat -a) but is there something along the line of "xxx.xxx.xx.xxx/dev/lpr -Pmy_printer_name" that I can put in the location box?
Thanks |
No guarantees but something here might help:

Thanks. They look promising. I'll give them a try.
Use the printer wizard to set up your printer. When you start the setup with xpdq, select bsd-lpd as the interface. Then you can put in the IP address and the queue name.
Puppy Prints
just set up printing on the printer down the hall. running off a USB Jump disk at work. Works great. On the net and completly bypassing the company system. Used an unused terminal address to set up my terminal.

Can't imagine what skill the porters need for lugging fish around. What qualifications do they have exactly as they clearly need more brawn than brain? How strange that they feel they should go home when the boss packs up shop! I employ 20 staff and am frequently not there, but they would not dream of skiving off just because I am not around! How quaintly old fashioned the porters are....definately need to go in my opinion.
Redefine of due date of the projects, bill, invoice, or even expired date of the products is very important. Especially the food and drink for daily life. It's critically too about the usage of ink in our pen. The humanity of the productivity life ages in sense of urgency, time to time. Time management is the key.
I remember the old Billingsgate which was in its medieval location until "re-development" took it over and the market was moved. Wholesale markets in London have a hundreds of years historical presence, be it Smithfields or Billingsgate or Covent Garden. And long may they continue.
I would like to add what difference does it make if anyone has a second job? providing for your family is far from being a crime! Some of the merchants have second jobs one of which runs a tote at Romford dogs and some horse racing tracks and runs a delivery company! i say good luck to anyone in the UK that is doing well in business god knows you need it in todays climate, i think the person or merchant that wrote this article business must be suffering perhaps by inputing more effort into there business and not telling tales would be a good start.
I would like to point out that your readers have been greatly miss informed, so i'll try and set the record straight so if your sitting comfortably i'll begin:
The procedure for obtaining a porters liscence is determined by the City of London Corporation(COLC) not the union anyone working within Billingsgate applys by obtaining a form from the mkt superintendent then obtains signatures from a merchant,retailer,porter and then has an interview with the superintendent. The COLC decide how many badges are given out they have sole control over this! when obtaining your liscence you are not employed straight away you are casual, covering holiday work and sick leave etc again this was decided by the COLC. When employment becomes available who ever has been casual longest is offered work first (we have manners)dont forget we are all skilled and liscensed, merchants do have a choice as well.Wages at the mkt are in line with the current economic climate considering the early start and working through all weathers outside and inside freezers, i have been there 25 years and my company seem to like to finsh around 8.30 on average i've yet to see my wages rise above £400, wages are negotiated yearly with the merchants and last year we accepted £5 a week(befor tax) rise so we are more than fair considering the cost of living and inflation rates. As for the cartminders they see vans in, look after goods as they are being delivered, make sure the car parks are incident free and like the porters are out there in ALL WEATHERS!,Porters are employed from 3.45am till 10.45 if the employer decides to pack up early it is there choice, wouldnt any reader go home if the boss packed up shop? Employers have the choice to offer a reverse overtime facility (earlier start) to prepare orders and get the fish on show.Billingsgate is firstly a wholesale mkt the best in the UK, merchants are constantly trying to lure in general public, cash buyers, it will not be long before Billingsgate becomes a second rate supermarket seeing it's age old traditions destroyed. Lastly if the merchant that pays £50 an hour is reading this i would love a job on there company!!
Please leave the poor porters alone.If you scrutinize this matter carefully you will find that lawyers,accountants,engineers,bankers and a whole host of professional people are in on similar 'games',why pick on the porters ?

I have a list of records in a listview that I want the user to be able to re-sort using a drag and drop method. I have seen this implemented in other apps, but I have not found a tutorial for it. It must be something that others need as well. Can anyone point me to some code for doing this?
I have been working on this for some time now. Tough to get right, and I don't claim I do, but I'm happy with it so far. My code and several demos can be found at Its use is very similar to the TouchInterceptor (on which the code is based), although significant implementation changes have been made. DragSortListView has smooth and predictable scrolling while dragging and shuffling items. Item shuffles are much more consistent with the position of the dragging/floating item. Heterogeneous-height list items are supported. Drag-scrolling is customizable (I demonstrate rapid drag scrolling through a long list---not that an application comes to mind). Headers/Footers are respected. etc.?? Take a look. |
It may also be helpful to reference my simple Drag and Drop list. You can find it here |
Am adding this answer for the purpose of those who google about this.. There was an episode of DevBytes (ListView Cell Dragging and Rearranging) recently which explains how to do this You can find it here also the sample code is available here. What this code basically does is that it creates a |

The car barely pulled out going to Vegas when these skanks were slobbering on my boi's knob. The three of em were DTF in the hotel too, and we started our trip off right with a little fuckathon. No gamble here, gettin with these hos was an easy bet!
I went to a boat party yesterday... every single girl was freaking hot! They kept all rooms in that boat busy, they were either giving head or getting fucked in the bathroom. There was even some girl on girl action. It's a hardcore party, enjoy the f...
Me and the girls were in Hollywood in the back of a stretch limo filming our wild night. The only thing missing were the dudes, which definitely weren't hard to find!
The craziest parties ALWAYS start with body shots. The amateur sluts we were partying with whipped their titties out, and we sipped little shots out of their belly buttons and dripped one down Maia's pussy before we fucking pounded these hos!
One of my boys invited me to his boat party and all I have to say is that everything got really wet...especially the girls pussies.
We were having a Halloween party and invited every amateur slut we knew. It got a little crazy when the chicks started comparing tits, and soon the college sluts were getting fucked! We screwed them hard and then gave them a nice taste of warm jizz!
Me and my girls went out for an unforgettable night at the club. The bouncer was giving us problems because we weren't on the VIP list but Jessicka took care of him.
Some guys just have the knack for spotting amateur sluts in the wild, and as soon as they saw Alana, Emily, and Saber, dudes knew that these three were DTF. Pretty soon they were back in the room, sucking, fucking, and eating each other's pussies!
Layla and Selma were feeling neglected at the hotel pool, so they whipped out their tits and started kissing. You better believe the guys took notice then. They took these amateur sluts home, and kicked off a crazy four-way orgy you don't wanna miss!
Beautiful day, poolside with a bunch of bros and some hot horny chicks. You know that kind of day where everything go smooth. And then girls get excited and start doing their thing. That's when you know you're at the right place at the right time.
Everybody wins when the skanks at your party start playing strip pong. When these two amateur sluts Gigi and Piper began tossing the ball and flashing their big tits and asses, there was nothing for dude to do but whip out his cock and start filming....

I've been having issues lately with my leisure reading. Part of it is certainly lack of time—instead of immersing myself in high adventure, slick passages, throbbing stalks and Love Conquering All (and by "all," I mean 350 pages of limp conflict and the hero's ability to think with things other than his fiddly bits), I've been drowning in the endless procedural minutiae of the federal courts, which is just about as fun as it sounds, and also arguing whether New Jersey barring Philadelphia from shipping its garbage into its borders is constitutional, which is, weirdly enough, a great deal more fun than it sounds. (The term "gerbil jurisprudence" actually came up while discussing that particular issue, which is one of the many reasons why I enjoy my Constitutional Law class immoderately.)
So yes, law school is fun and challenging and HOLY FUCKMONKEYS a lot of work. But besides the paucity of reading time, I find myself feeling very restless and impatient with the fiction I picked up in recent months. What has been galling me, in particular, has been how distressingly predictable a lot of the stories have been.
I'm not complaining about overarching structure here, nor about genre requirements. Knowing there's going to be a Happily Ever After at the end of a romance does not, and likely will never bother me. Neither is knowing that the mystery will be solved at the end of a detective novel, or that the hero will survive mostly intact (if not necessarily mostly sane or healthy) at the end of a thriller.
What I'm talking about is my current ability to see plot twists and character fates writ large on the wall. It's sort of the equivalent of having a very large, very loud person walking up to a tree, poorly concealing himself behind it and yelling that he's not really there, and there's really no way I can ever guess his location, oh no, because he's a clever one, he is.
I don't mind a certain amount of predictability in my fiction, but when it comes down to it, I am most truly delighted when I have my expectations quite thoroughly fucked with. It especially fills me with glee when an author take some sort of shorthand that we've all taken for granted and turns it upside down or just molests it in unspeakable ways.
For instance: I am sick unto death of picking up a certain sort of genre work, encountering a male character in the military who has a wife at home who's just had a kid, and knowing just from those facts that he's a) a Good Guy, and b) going to make it through the book in one piece. Just once, I'd love to have that guy die painfully and pointlessly, or have him reveal some sort of genuinely horrific perversity—the Goebbels, for example, genuinely loved their children and killed them out of loyalty to Hitler and to spare them what they thought was an untenable future. In short, I am sick of many things, and one the biggest peeves I have right now is how being a good guy means loving kids and puppies and kittens, and being a bad guy means being child molesters and puppy kickers and kitten killers. Not that I can imagine a good guy being physically abusive towards the weak and vulinerable, but one can dislike something without acting violently to that dislike, just as one can love something soft and cuddly while being a thoroughly evil bastard.
We've talked before about how there's a tendency for this sort of shorthand to stand in for actual characterization. Is your hero dark-haired and large? Odds are high you have an alpha on your hands, whee! Is your heroine redheaded? Then please choose from either the Awkward or Feisty variants. If there's a psychotic killer on the loose, just look for the one character who gets significant airtime in the book who a) doesn't have a sense of humor and/or b) is not especially attractive. If you're the Other Woman? Expect to be older than the heroine, being fond of orgasms for their own sake and considerably more savvy about make-up and nail polish.
Certain plot conventions also tend to have shorthand resolutions. Have an impotent heroine? The hero's super sperm will save the day and bless her with many bouncy bairns, guaranteed. Identical twins? The True Lurve is the one who can recognize the difference with no apparent effort. Is the hero surly and jealous, and is there a more easy-going male secondary character who becomes a good friend of the heroine's? There will almost definitely be a blow-up in which the hero will accuse the heroine of being a dirty, dirrrty hoor.
I don't like the implications of some of these standards, but mostly, I get really goodamn tired of them when they crop up over and over and over again. That's not to say that talented authors can't create convincing, nuanced iterations of these archetypes, but it's so good when somebody takes the norm and deliberately, thoroughly flouts it. For example, when the protagonists don't want children, as in a couple of Jennifer Crusie books, I just about keel over with glee. Loving And Desperately Wanting Children is such a marker of being a Good Person, and enjoying fucking without some sort of greater Family and White Picket Fence agenda lurking in a background is usually reserved so much for the villain that characters who are about to violate those particular conventions tend to get automatic props from me, if only because they don't seem to rely on what seem to be somewhat lazy character-building methods.
In short: right now, I want something to surprise me, and surprise me good. I don't want to read a book and be able to predict the character and story arcs for just about every damn thing within the first 50 pages or so. The enjoyment I get from being right is a poor substitute for being delightfully surprised or having my jaded expectations thoroughly fucked with.

Boras: Ryan OK'd $44M bid; Phils backed off
The Reds got an excellent closer on a reasonable contract when they agreed to an $8.5-million, one-year contract with ex-Phillie Ryan Madson. What did Madson get? He received the opportunity to close for a very good young team where he has the chance to rack up saves before hitting the free-agent market again next year.
Madson came close to doing a $44-million, four-year deal with the Phillies earlier this winter, as everyone knows by now. But Madson's agent Scott Boras wanted to make it clear that Madson did not reject that proposal, as has been suggested in some places on the blogosphere, and in fact informed the Phillies he was ready to sign back with the Phillies for that $44-million deal he said was proposed. "He told the Phillies he would accept it, and the Phillies decided not to execute it,'' Boras said by phone.
Phillies GM Ruben Amaro has denied that the deal fell apart because club president Dave Montgomery wouldn't approve it but declined to get into the specifics of how it blew up. Word was, the sides were discussing relatively minor items such as incentives when Amaro raised the idea of needing to go to Montgomery, though Amaro has since said that Montgomery knew all along where things stood and was not the reason the deal didn't go down. The Phillies ultimately signed Jonathan Papelbon for $50 million over four years shortly after the deal with Madson blew up.
The Phillies at some point tried to re-engage Madson about returning on a much lower deal, but after being under the impression he had a deal with his old team for $44 million Madson never re-entered serious talks with his old team.
In any case, the Reds were the beneficiary of the deal that blew up, getting the improving reliever who saved 30 of 32 chances in his first year with the bulk of the closing time. He went 4-2 with 62 strikeouts in 60 2/3 inings.

Boras: Ryan OK'd $44M bid; Phils didnt execute itShouldn't the Phillies come out and say "HELL YEAH". We blew up the deal and said screw it we moved on didn't want to deal with Boras, got a better closer...suck it Boras...lets face it...I think most the fans are right...I think by not signing signing Fielder and Jackson yet Boras's rep is suffering...the only way to get Boras out of baseball is make him irrelevant and you have to do that by not signing his clients and having them sign for way less then Boras ever wanted...its like fighting a nasty tumor...to remove the Tumor of Boras from the body of MLB you have to continually over this and the next decade keep screwing his rep and making him irrelevant and eventually players will leave him and when he looses enough big named clients he won't be getting as many ig name clients and he will eventually become obsolete unfortunately this will be a long process but its nice to see with Fielder and Jackson still jobless as of right now. |

Boras: Ryan OK'd $44M bid; Phils didnt execute itDon't kid yourself, some sucker is gonna give Fielder a 7 - 8 year deal for 25 a year. All this new cable money is being spent like a a15 year old girl who's father just gave her his Amex card and dropped her off at the mall and said call me when you are tired. It will take a couple years before these bills come due and then she sh it will hit the fan. I hope everybody enjoys paying $8 for a hotdog and $40 for parking to go see the Nat's and Brewers play cause it's coming folks. |

Boras: Ryan OK'd $44M bid; Phils didnt execute itTell the truth. If you had a son that needed an agent. Who would you want to represent your kid? Boras would be my first and only choice and this is coming from a guy who Boras has ripped players from my Royals repeatedly!!!

Posted on: January 11, 2012 1:56 pm
Boras: Ryan OK'd $44M bid; Phils didnt execute itBoras has really had a rough offseason this year as a few of his clients are still left waiting. I don't see how he'll get anywhere near what he set out to achieve for Prince Fielder, or Edwin Jackson. This Madsen deal is another one that didn't work out the way it should have. It'll be interesting to see if a few more players move away from Boras given the way some of free agency has worked out the past couple years.
The guy isn't exactly good for the game, so it doesn't break my heart to see some of his higher level clients being left a little disappointed in his services. |

Boras: Ryan OK'd $44M bid; Phils didnt execute itBoras is to baseball players as to Rosenhuas is to Football players. I don't care that Madson is not back, would have it been nice to have him just in case? Of course. In my opinion Madson was too greedy and wanted too much. He also thought that teams would be knocking down the door to sign him. As we all can see that was clearly not the case.
I do wish Madson the best and thanks for the great work he did in the Bullpen, saide from breaking his foot kicking the chair. |

Boras: Ryan OK'd $44M bid; Phils didnt execute itAgreed. Two of Boras' biggest clients this year - Fielder and Jackson - are still unsigned in mid-January and might have to take shorter deals because teams have already moved to fill roster sports with other players. Boras is just trying to save his reputation at this point.

I would look at a spikes tactical lower. You can get a stripped one for just under a hundred bucks and a parts kit for about 60-80 bucks. Then you just gotta pick the buffer kit and stock
I chose and ordered Spikes Tactical complete lower 2 weeks ago. Specially the Spider logo.. looks so awesome! Paid and they debited my money already. Im excited and looking forward to it. It will marry it to Daniel SBR which i ordered it too. Only God knows when these lower & upper will be shipped. Lol
I went with this lower: Mega Machine billet. ^ I went with the RRA single stage LPK w/Ergo grip. Assembly of the lower is a cake walk. We can help you build your own.
So it would cheaper to build my own lower? And I like the spikes lower.. I'm just afraid of screwing up my lower... And I already have a mil-spec moe stock od green in color and a zombie defense grip... Just need buffer tube and springs and trigger group
And the receiver of coarse
Okay I think I made my choice on the lower... Spikes tactical zombie lower with the standard parts kit and let them install it costs around 180 not including the buffer tube yet
Sounds good man. Good luck with the rest of it and post some pics soon
Make sure u use ARFCOM for 5% discount. It works as i used it
You guys have been very helpful and if y'all want post some pics of your ar's... Thank you for the discount code much appreciated

Apple aims to "legalize" music, video file sharing with new patent
It's likely this will build on Apple's own AirDrop technology. But this may be one of the first steps in recent years that may combat illegal file sharing.

When Apple added OTA (Over The Air) updating to iOS, it promised a simple, streamlined update experience. So why have I just spent the best part of an hour deleting apps and files to make room for iOS 8?

iSportCase iPod case for $20
Dealmac: Monster's new iSportCase costs $19.95 plus $4 shipping at The Apple Store. (To find it, search for "iSportCase".) It's the lowest total price we've seen.

There are two versions, for 10/15/20GB iPods and for 40GB iPods.

My friend afallahi and I are both proud iPod owners and I happened upon this chicken one Easter (thanks Mom) and it just made sense to put one and one together.

We both hope you enjoy the show and please feel free to send the link to your friends.
DJs look to iPod as the next turntable?
"The biggest advantage DJs have already discovered is the iPod's size. "Vinyl" DJs have to lug heavy boxes containing hundreds of albums. But many are taking up the iPod music player, which can hold 1,000 digitised albums in a package smaller than a cigarette packet. [...]
But does the iPod embody the future of DJing, given that unlike vinyl, it is supremely portable yet unshowy? Mr Gower is circumspect. "It's an alternative - both this and vinyl can exist simultaneously," he said. "A few years ago people said vinyl was dead, but we're actually seeing more being pressed today than then."
But with the number of iPods and other digital players doing nothing but rise, it could be that at future raves, the man or woman at the front will be waving a white gadget in the air as it plays. And you could never have done that with a record."

RipDigital announces CD ripping service
RipDigital recently announced a new CD ripping service to save you time from doing it yourself - ideal for those with large collections of CDs that have yet to digitize them. RipDigital will turn your CD library into an MP3 library of 224Kbs bitrate song files with "a traceable, unique identification code in each converted track" to discourage illegal file sharing. You can opt to have the MP3 library stored on a DVD or a hard drive. Prices for ripping your CD collection start at 100 CDs for $129. After placing your online order, RipDigital will send you all the packing materials for shipping your CDs. When we asked RipDigital if they offer AAC encoding the response was, "Currently we only offer MP3 conversion. In the near term, we're keeping it simple. I take your point about AAC and this may be something we add down the line."
PocketDock for iPods for $17
Dealmac: SendStation's PocketDock for third-generation iPods is back in stock at MegaMacs.com for $16.99 plus around $8 shipping. We still haven't found a cheaper price elsewhere.

Apple retailer says mini iPod is true?
A recent AudioRevolution.com article states, "sources at an Apple retailer in Los Angeles tell AudioRevolution.com that the rumors of the new budget priced iPod are completely true.

'Poddies' speak up about their favorite music player
It was the must-have Christmas gift of 2003: a gadget that stores your favourite 10,000 tunes and looks incredibly cool, too. So why do people become such bores when they get one? Stephen Moss on the invasion of the Poddies. [...]
Poddies radiate joy - the joy of first love or true belief. "I love my iPod," says Gareth. "It's changed my life. Mine's a 30-gigabyte [already superseded by the 40-gig, note] and holds seven and a half thousand songs. I've downloaded 6,000 - the soundtrack of my whole life."

Give me money to buy an iPod
UK resident Geoff really wants an iPod. So he's simply asking you to give him money so he can buy one. His website is complete with photos of people handing him money as well as statistics on money collected, how it was contributed, contributors sex and more.

How one family deals with digital downloads
"He liked the easy-to-use iTunes program, and decided to make it the central jukebox for digital copies (altogether legal) of his conventional CD's. I set up the downloading account for him, and decided to show him how to download from the music store. I selected Dutch DJ JXL's excellent remix of the Elvis Presley song "A Little Less Conversation" and paused before hitting the "buy" button. [...]
Here's the shocker: more than ever, he began asking us to buy CD's for him. He wanted discs from artists he had come to know online, with the liner notes and lyrics. His less copyright-friendly buddies send him the stuff they like, and if he likes a song, he listens to a better-quality version on Rhapsody or buys the track.
Amazing but true: music downloading spurs music sales, at least in our house. (Sam's 16-year-old sister, Elizabeth, has proven resistant to digital music's allure, content to lug around a case full of CD's.)"
iPod battery lawsuit to be filed in January
"Another growing source of complaints surrounds Apple's wildly-popular iPod line of digital music players, which many enthusiasts believe will get an upgrade at Macworld with the introduction of smaller, less-expensive models and a range of case colors.
In California, a lawsuit seeking class-action status is expected to be filed January against the company over the claim that Apple's warranty does not run long enough to cover problems with the player's battery."

Sperling: Yeah, I guess Obama fibbed during the presidential debate on the sequester
posted at 1:21 pm on March 4, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
You know who's not having much fun in Washington lately? Gene Sperling, Barack Obama's director of the Council of Economic Advisers and the somewhat-unlikely media hatchet man for the White House. Last week he got dragged into the spotlight by Bob Woodward, who accused Sperling of trying to threaten him into changing his reporting on the parentage of the sequester. Yesterday, Sperling got grilled by NBC's David Gregory on Meet the Press, who did a good job of dragging the truth out of Sperling on the point.
Fair's fair; I dinged Gregory for wasting time on John Boehner's "ass" remark, but he didn't back down after that strange analogy offered by Sperling on the budget fight. Somehow, Sperling puts Republicans in the role of robber for wanting to reduce the vastly-increased level of government spending under Obama and the Democrats in Congress. Obama, who wanted to take more money from taxpayers, somehow becomes the victim of a robbery in Sperling's example.
This is a good lesson in how this administration, Democrats, and the public sector think about the money we all earn. It's really theirs, and anyone who gets in the way of their confiscation of it is a thief.
Maybe the White House should consider giving Sperling a lower profile from now on.

Cook Time:
2 hrs

1 hr 30 mins
galponetta's Note:
A very thick and creamy soup. It takes a little bit of time to make this soup, but none of the steps are difficult. The "trick" is using evaporated milk, which makes the soup very stable and keeps it from separating, a good choice if you want to have leftovers. You will need a blender for this recipe.
My Private Note
Serves: 6
Units: US | Metric
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or other light vegetable oil)
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 celery ribs, chopped (with leaves)
- 3 carrots, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, sliced
- 2 lbs russet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- 2 cups water
- 2 bay leaves
- 3 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1 (12 ounce) can evaporated milk
- 4 ounces cheddar cheese, grated
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
- 1Add oil to a 4 quart or larger soup pot over medium heat.
- 2Add onions, celery, carrots and garlic and a little salt and pepper and cook until soft and just starting to show color. (15 - 20 minutes) Stir a few times.
- 3Add potatoes, stock, water, parsley, bay leaves, and a little more salt and pepper to the pan and cook covered at a high simmer or low boil (bubbling gently) for 30 to 45 minutes until the potatoes are just starting to fall apart when stirred and the other vegetables are very soft. Lift the lid and stir two or three times during this stage.
- 4When the vegetables are done, turn off the heat and remove the lid and let the pot rest for 10 minutes or so to cool a bit before the next step.
- 5REMOVE THE BAY LEAVES. Blend the soup in three or four batches in a blender until smooth. Watch out for the steam! Transfer it to a new pot, or to a bowl and then back to the original pot.
- 6Over medium heat, stir the evaporated milk into the soup. Add a bit more hot water or stock at this point if you would like a thinner soup. Once the soup is steaming, stir in the cheese in small batches until melted.
- 7Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired. You can add other flavorings at this point - more salt and pepper, a dash of cayenne, smoked paprika, a TBS of brandy, a dash of nutmeg, more minced parsley, or any other spice or herb you might like.
