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.

Analysis. I'm trying to get a jump on things this Friday afternoon and
have already edited those graphs (as well as written a headline, teaser
and summary).
Kamran Bokhari wrote:
The Indian daily, the Hindu, reported July 24 that the Pakistan's army
and the country's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) directorate are
engaged in efforts to be part of bilateral negotiations between the two
neighboring countries. The report elaborated that Director-General of
the ISI (DG-ISI), Lt-Gen Ahmed Shuja Pasha is a key mover and shaker
behind this move and discussed his efforts during a July 3rd meeting he
had with the three military attaches at the Indian High Commission in
Islamabad. According to the report, Gen. Pasha told the three Indian
diplomats that the ISI and the Pakistani army should have a seat at the
table because of their role in assisting the Pakistani foreign ministry
in policy-making process.
STRATFOR's Pakistani sources, however, tell us that the Indian officials
read too much into the comments of the DG-ISI. The meeting apparently
transpired out of a desire on the part of the newly arrived Indian naval
attache to pay a courtesy visit to the ISI chief. The ISI chief in turn
invited the army and air attaches as well, and the meeting taking place
in a very cordial and casual atmosphere during which Gen. Pasha spoke of
the role that the militaries of the two neighboring countries could play
in improving relations between the two sides, and the need to move
beyond the hostility in the relationship. Our Pakistani sources insist
that the meeting and the conversation was not a move on the part of
Islamabad to insert the army or the ISI into the negotiating process as
the gathering was unplanned and one that the ISI chief undertook as part
of his routine outreach efforts with various officials from various
Given that the army and the ISI, despite the rise of civilian forces,
remain the principal stake-holders in the Pakistani state, especially
when it comes to national security and foreign policy matters, the two
are already very much entrenched into the policy process. Historically,
the military-intelligence complex has been the main driver in policy
towards India and has shaped policy during both periods of direct
military rule and civilian governments. This continues to be the case
even now when the military's hold over the state has weakened given the
security establishment's need to work with a democratic government and
combat an intense jihadist insurgency because even now the military
remains the only coherent institution in the country while the civilian
institutions continue to be mired in instability. Therefore, the army
and the intelligence do not require a formal seat on the table as they
retain the power to steer policy, especially vis-`a-vis India.
Regardless of what was actually said by the ISI chief and how it was
interpreted by the Indian military attaches and then leaked to the
press, the meeting itself is a significant one, especially considering
the current state of India-Pakistan relations, in the wake of the Mumbai
attacks, and in the light of Islamabad's offensive against its own
Taliban rebels. Despite the emerging shift in the Pakistani attitude
towards Islamist militants, the Indians remain extremely skeptical of
the Pakistanis. The Indian position is similar to that of the United
States in that both New Delhi and Washington feel that while Islamabad
is indeed battling Islamist militant forces that are waging war on the
Pakistani state, it is also trying to maintain influence on jihadist
actors who's objective is to fight in India and Afghanistan.
From the Pakistani point of view, this is a very superficial view of
reality, as Islamabad can't fight all types of Islamist militant groups,
and actually needs to use the non-hostile ones to counter the rogues.
The Pakistanis also argue that the Islamist militant landscape between
its western and eastern borders is a reality that it has to live with
long after the United States/West loses interest in Afghanistan and
despite India's security concerns. In addition, these actors - the ones
that are not at war with Islamabad - remain foreign policy tools
vis-`a-vis India and Afghanistan, especially since its regional rival
India outpacing it in conventional military terms and with the United
States pursuing a long-term strategic partnership with the Indians.
Complicating this state of affairs is that Islamabad's control/influence
over these groups is not what it used to be. The post-9/11 global
security environment and the manner in which the Musharraf regime tried
to balance its need to maintain control/influence over Taliban and
Kashmiri militant groups with its commitments as a U.S. ally in the war
against the jihadists did extensive damage to Islamabad's relationship
with its Islamist militant proxies. Many of them aligned with the
al-Qaeda led transnational jihadist network while still others have
become increasingly independent.
Back in April, the situation become so threatening that the Pakistanis
had to draw the line when the Swat Taliban in an effort to exploit the
recent `shariah for peace' deal, projected power eastwards and
demonstrated that they had national level ambitions. In response, the
state engaged in a major policy shift and engaged in an unprecedented
counter-insurgency offensive against the Taliban on a national scale.
While this offensive remains a work in progress it has had one key
effect in that it has led to a considerable degree of satisfaction in
the Obama administration, which has somewhat increased Islamabad's
bargaining power with Washington.
U.S. officials, who only a few months ago were extremely critical of
Islamabad's stance regarding the Taliban are now praising Pakistan and
appear more understanding of the Pakistani view that they can't fight
every jihadist and militant at the same time, especially not with their
current political, economic, and military capabilities. For the Indians,
this represents a huge problem because the last thing India wants is to
be in a situation where the United States doesn't come down hard on
Pakistan, given its own preoccupations in Afghanistan. Should a militant
attack take place in India in these circumstances India's ability to
hold Pakistan responsible is severely compromised.
This is why the Indians have an added interest in not buying into the
view that Pakistan has effected a meaningful shift towards Islamists
militant groups. Conversely, the Pakistanis feel that because they don't
have the kind of ties with the Islamists militants that they enjoyed in
the past, they can't be held responsible for attacks. That said, the
Pakistanis are also very worried about the possibility of another attack
and its deleterious effects for them. It is these new emerging regional
dynamics, which may have been the reason for the Indians wanting to meet
with the ISI chief and him seizing upon the opportunity.
Kamran, to get a jump on this edit, I have already produced a headline,
teaser and summary and edited the first three paragraphs of the analysis.
Can you color-code any changes in the first

India lift Champions Trophy in a 20 over thriller
India beat England by 5 runs in a rain shortened nail biting final at Edgbaston, Birmingham on Sunday to lift the ICC Champions Trophy.
India were asked to bat first after England won the toss. The game had its delays due to the intermittent rain. Finally the packed house at Edgbaston got to witness a 20 over encounter.
India lost Rohit Sharma (9, 14b, 1x4) early in the 4th over after which Shikhar Dhawan and Virat Kohli tried to steady the Indian innings.
Ravi Bopara struck in his very first over dismissing the in-form Shikhar Dhawan (31, 24b, 2x4, 1x6). Soon after which India lost three quick wickets in the form of Dinesh Karthik (6), Suresh Raina (1) and Skipper MS Dhoni (0). India were reeling at 66-5 when Ravindra Jadeja along with Virat Kohli produced a counter attack and helped India reach a target of 129. Virat Kohli was the top scorer with 43 (34b, 4x4, 6x1) well supported by Ravindra Jadeja (33*, 25b, 4x2, 6x2).
Ravi Bopara (3/20) was the pick of the England bowlers. He took the crucial wickets of Dhawan, Raina and Dhoni.
Umesh Yadav provided India with the breakthrough early on in the 2nd over dismissing the England Skipper Alastair Cook (2). Man in form Jonathan Trott started off aggressively scoring 11 runs off Bhuvneshwar Kumar's 2nd over.
Trott was stumped by Dhoni off Ashwin in the 6th over on what was actually a wide delivery. Ashwin (2/15) also dismissed Joe Root later on. Ian Bell (13) was stumped in the 9th over, Jadeja being the bowler.
Eoin Morgan (33, 30b, 3x4, 1x6) and Ravi Bopara (30, 25b, 2x6) looked determined as they added 64 runs, the highest partnership of the match, for the 5th wicket but Ishant Sharma (2/36) surprised by picking up both Bopara and Morgan in his last over.
Ravindra Jadeja (2/24) struck in the 19th over dismissing the England Wicket Keeper Jos Buttler and executing a brilliant run out to send Tim Bresnan back to the pavilion.
England needed 15 in the last over, Ashwin who had bowled brilliantly was the obvious option. It all came down to England needing 6 to win off the last ball. Tredwell was the batsman on strike who missed the ball only to take a single.
Celebrations began on the field as India went on to pull off an amazing victory in a 20 over thriller. India were unbeatable throughout the tournament, right from warm-up matches to the final.
Ravindra Jadeja was declared the player of the match for his all round effort. He was also awarded the 'Golden Ball' for picking up the most number of wickets (12) in the tournament. Shikhar Dhawan received the 'Golden Bat' as he was the highest run-getter (363) in the tournament.

(Stephen Dunn/Getty Images Sport)The San Francisco 49ers will trade Alex Smith to the Kansas City Chiefs, reports Jay Glazer on Twitter.The San Jose Mercury News' Tim Kawakami reports San Francisco will receive Kansas City's second-round pick this year (34th overall) and "a similar pick" in 2014. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the 2014 pick will be a "conditional mid-round" selection.Smith was having the best season of his career before an injury knocked him out of the lineup in November. Colin Kaepernick took over and led San Francisco to the Super Bowl. With a weak draft class and few other potential starters available, Smith was one of the top targets for teams looking to upgrade at quarterback.CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reported Sunday that the 49ers had a deal for Smith "effectively completed." But the other team was not known at the time.Most of the speculation pointed to the Chiefs, who struggled at quarterback last season. Matt Cassel and Brady Quinn split the job and combined to throw 20 interceptions and only eight touchdowns. The Chiefs hired former Eagles coach Andy Reid in the offseason, and improving at quarterback was expected to be among his top priorities.Kansas City owns the top pick in the upcoming NFL Draft, normally a spot where teams find a quarterback. But this year's class -- headlined by prospects like West Virginia's Geno Smith and USC's Matt Barkley -- lacks a clear answer at the position so early in the first round. Smith provides a solid, experienced solution for the Chiefs. He has started 75 games in his career and led San Francisco to the NFC Championship in 2012. In nine starts last season, Smith completed 70.2 percent of his passes and threw 13 touchdowns. The game before his injury, on Monday Night Football against Arizona, he completed 18 of 19 passes for 232 yards and three touchdowns. Promoted Stories Comments

Apparently this contraption replaces the need for a wall switch or under cabinet switch for garbage disposal. It's an air-pressure powered button that gets installed directly on sinktop or countertop. Anyone have experience with this, good or bad? Please share!!! |

Thank you! I was searching for sink top and couldn't find any threads. Now I know they are more commonly referred to air switches. |
You won't regret it. |

I had two in my old house (one for each sink) and one in my current home, and I can't imagine going back to an old-fashioned switch. |
I've had switches on the wall and even once under the sink. I actually liked the one under the sink at the time because I had small children with busy hands and I felt safer with that arrangement. I've never had a new build where I had the opportunity to put in an air switch. But the folks who have them are true believers, that's for sure! |
I have two (one for each sink) and they are great for an island sink were there is no wall for a wall switch. |
The air switch is one of my favorite things in my newly renovated kitchen! |

I have a Franke air switch that has been a champ since install 2 1/2 yrs. ago. This was my first one, and like you, I was wondering if it was worth the money. Please take my word for it, you will be delighted and not regret a penny spent toward that part of your remodel. Just think, it's right there at the sink rather than having to walk a few steps over and perhaps lean into an awkward corner where the light switches are located. |
They won't short out. They aren't electric. They're connected by non-electric means to a little box on the outlet that will then turn the outlet on. Kinda like a clapper. But more reliable. |

Companies charge for this service because people who use their auto updaters use considerably more bandwidth than those who update on their own. Typically, those who update on their own only update every few months, where an auto updater could update every day. These companies have to pay for this bandwidth, and they just pass that fee on to people who *choose* to use that service.

Rugby union in Uzbekistan
Rugby union in Uzbekistan is a minor but growing sport.
Governing body[edit]
This section is empty. You can help by adding to it. (July 2010) |
Soviet Period[edit]
Rugby union was played in the Russian Empire as early as in 1908. In 1934 the Moscow Championship was started, and in 1936 the first Soviet Championship took place.
In 1949, rugby union was forbidden in the USSR during the "fight against the cosmopolitanism". The competitions were resumed in 1957, and the Soviet Championship in 1966. In 1975 the Soviet national team played their first match.[1]
In 1962, rugby in Uzbekistan underwent a major expansion as four new teams were founded.[2]
Uzbekistan had its own rugby team in the USSR, but it was not treated as a proper national side.
Uzbek rugby, like that of Kyrgyzstan is mainly confined to the military and universities, although there is a schools programme underway.[3] Kazakhstan has been a major impetus for rugby growth in the region (Almaty had a team in the Soviet league, and they also have a formidable women's team), and has been a major factor in keeping the game going in its neighbouring countries. For years, most of Uzbekistan's games, formal, or informal were against Kazakhstan, or Kazakh domestic sides.[3]
Currently they take part in the Central Asian region of the Asian Five Nations.

Hi guys, several questions here. Last time I fiddled with SSA it was the stand-alone 2011 version but I need to get going with the newer versions. I'm currently running Map 3D 2012 and about to upgrade to 2014 very soon. I can find all kinds of documentation about SSA's features and functions, how to use guides, etc, but nothing about actually finding and installing it.
weibelt wrote:Storm & Sanitary Analysis (SSA):
- You need to select SSA in the installer
- You need to open a wastewater industry model in Map 3D.
Otherwise the SSA button is disabled.
Would that have been done in the network install or the local install?
Where do I even find the SSA button? (I can't find a Stormwater tab anywhere, not even the custom settings. Totally new to this Industry Model stuff.)
Is SSA still incorporated in Map 3D 2014? Do I need to tell our IT guys anything special to make sure it gets set up right when they do the upgrade? (They do our network install for 2 seat licenses, then we do our own local install.)
Anybody? I found the Wastewater panel that has the SSA button greyed out (in the Maintenance workspace, wonder why the big wide internet didn't mention that) and I tried to reinstall Map 3D 2012 to make sure it included SSA. But I couldn't find an SSA option anywhere in the install menus. It would be a humongous help to my projects. Can anybody please tell me step by step how to find it in the installation?
Edit: OK so after searching the internet all week, it does appear that this has to be done at the network install level as per this article. It would appear that is why the option didn't show up when I tried a local reinstall. Is that right?
It won't let me edit the previous post to fix the link so here is the right one: http://upandready.typepad.com/up_and_ready/2012/10

text: There are changes afoot on the syndicated series "Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda," but actor Keith Hamilton Cobb (Tyr Anasazi) tried to reassure fans that the show will not end with the departure of developer and executive producer Robert Hewitt Wolfe. "This is the sort of situation which occurs in television probably a great deal more often than any of you know," Cobb said on the Slipstream Web message boards. "Any time several factions come together to create a product, there will always wind up being more generals than soldiers. And more often than not, each general will want to do things a little differently than any other. Does the product suffer? Of course it does. "In my case, the work will go on. The show will change and evolve as it's pulled in various directions by the various forces. That doesn't necessarily have to be a bad thing. Through it all, I will continue to love Tyr, and his voice and presence will continue to remain unique regardless of the amount of screen time. I'm an actor, he is my creation, and his integrity is the only stake I have in all of this." Cobb said that the "politics of making television is more convoluted than a Nietzsche manifesto, and so there are several sides to this continuing saga that no one has told, nor is at liberty to tell. However, regardless of what facts you are privy to, if what appears on your TV doesn't please you, it is your voice that will change it." Wolfe, the former "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" writer that was brought in to develop "Andromeda" from loose notes of the late Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, said this week that he was released by Tribune Entertainment in September. The show currently is in its second season in first-run syndication, and is once again leading the ratings for action dramas.

Official myspace for Jake Gyllenhaal
Hello, Thanks for taking the time to look over my petition. This is a plea for Mr Gyllenhaal's representatives and his official website to please consider an official myspace page that is monitored by Mr Gyllenhaal or one of his "people". As a mother of a 10 year old and a fan of Mr Gyllenhaal it scares me to think of who our children and us for that matter could be speaking to on the worldwide web.

As mentioned in a previous post, we are trying to finalize our planning for a full gut remodel of our kitchen. The only thing we know for sure is that I want a 48" CC rangetop with charbroiler and a powerful hood to vent it.
Our cabinets will be slab doors, however, we're not sure which manufacturer yet. We don't bake much but want the capacity of a 30" double oven for entertaining, etc. As such, we don't need the top end Wolf, BlueStar, etc. However, we would still like the convection capabilities. As for the refrigerator, we are looking into a 36" side by side standard depth (to maximize space) with ice & water in the door. Does anyone have a suggestion for which appliances would have matching 304 stainless steel finish since the oven and fridge will be next to each other? Cost is a concern with these two items. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I went through this a while ago... i had settled on the KA wall ovens and fridge but then reading about the failures of hte wall ovens i changed it to ELUX wall ovens and fridge (my fridge has no water / ice dispenser and is french door). I read that elux with despensers are prone to failures and also the water is not chilled but at room temperature. There is also bosch fridge oven combo but on the pricey side and their fridge i think is made by Daewoo. So everytime you find a manufacturer that has fridge and oven combo you will find one device maybe flawed. For me i got extra warranty on both fridge and oven so i will see what happens. |
- Posted by ChefDuJour (My Page) on Tue, Jan 17, 12 at 22:16
Thanks jmith. Actually, they don't have to be from the same manufacturer as long as the finish matches (304 SS) and the handles are complimentary. |
@ChefDuJour: Thats where the problem is... not all SS is same colour wise even though it maybe the same grade... I would suggest you go to some stores and see the fridges and ovens and go from there. Handles is another one... do a search for a thread where people have posted pictures of different manufacturers and different handles for fridge and oven and they are installed next to each other. |
I guess it is not in the budget or your plan, but if you paneled the fridge, then you can put handles on it to match your other appliances, plus No worries about "Matching Stainless" or all the "Fun" of keeping a stainless fridge clean and "pawproof". That's what we did. We have a paneled JA 48 inch fridge, paneled and we bought the Electrolux Fridge handles to mount on the Jenn-air Fridge, since we have the Elux Oven, Speed Oven and Wine Fridge. Even the Miele Optima Dishwasher (semi paneled) has the same shape handle as the Elux Icon Designer series appliances, albeit the handle is smaller. Good luck with your choices and design! Gary |
I recently joined this forum after having lurking and learning alot from everyone's vast experiences. I'll make my first topic post a simple one: We'd like to install 15" wine fridge in new kitchen construction and appliance dealer has quoted us a subzero model for $1599 after a previous customer changed their mind on the unit . He's motivated to move the unit off his floor. This seems like a good deal but wanted to hear other's thoughts on SZ wine fridges. Another brand available to us is Marvel. |

Best Julie Heckman Poems
It was never right, never right any more than like the cheap garden in which I grew up like a weed poor and brown for eighteen years hardly wishing to breathe Daddy you tried to kill me but you died before you had time baskets full of stone, a bag full without God, Ghastly face with one double chin Big as a hang mans rope. There were a dozen or more homes So I never could tell where we lived put your roots or you fat feet, You never could talk to me Your tongue stuck in your throat. You have always frighten me with your fat belly and yellow teeth with no neat mustache and those Aryan eye, bright blue, Thief and robber of the family. You stand at the gum machines father, in the picture I know of you That double chin and large feet No less the devil, no one any less than a onyx man who Bit my pretty blonde hair in two. My red heart grew then they buried you At twenty I tried to kill myself and get away, away, away from you. I thought even just my bones enough. They pulled me out the grave And put me back together with glue Then I knew what to do. I imitated you, a woman with a belly and fowl mouth.

We have what I consider a junky area of our yard on the north side of our home where a 6-foot fence gate prevents much sun from hitting an area that's about 15 feet long and 4 feet wide. We recently planted some cephalotaxus fastigiata there but they are very small and apparently very slow growing, so I'd like to plant something around them to fill in. It's pretty much clay and gravel, but we have added amended topsoil for the shrubs. Someone suggested violet but could that get out of bounds and into the lawn? Or would it only stay where it's shady? |

Vinca. Give it about a year to get established and the next year it will take off. Do NOT plant violets if you don't want them in your lawn, garden, under the shed, crawlspace... okay, maybe not the crawlspace. |
Partridge berry maybe? |

The Tighter the Pants the Sexier & Bigger the Booty looks...
My nephew plays for a high-ranked college baseball team. Scouts and coaches have always told him that his butt was made for the sport. And it's true - he's the team's fastest runner.
Yes you did bring Pictures...Awesome, Awesome & Awesome....I'm not a Huge Baseball Fan..I'll watch the World series but I'm not an avid watcher...But if I am flipping through the stations and catch a game on TBS or something I can't help but notice that their Butts get Beefier or Fater every year...
I don't know what I like the most..Tight pants make their Butts look good but so does a baggier fit...Some of the Players have such Beefy-meaty Butts their Ass sticks out even if the pants sag in the back....Any way you spin it there's nothing but Fat Ass for you to watch on TV...I Love it...
Tight Ass..
I Love it when the players have Fat Butts like this Baller..
You obviously haven't been in a football locker room once the bulky pads come off and everyone in relaxing round the hot tub and showers.
okay bye!
okay, I saw that game and Bloomquist slugged o'boy in the arm after the photographer got his shot. It was kinda sad...
okay bye!
too many hot asses in baseball, sports in general
one of my fav of all times, ass and all
Javy Lopez <---- beautiful man
One of my newer favorites is Grady Sizemore
One name:
BRADY ANDERSON from the Baltimore Orioles!! unbelievable body and ass!!
...more Brady Anderson....the nicest ass that baseball had.
Brady in a suit
Because they know how to stick them out :P
Cause they have the best sphincter contractions.
I still think football players have the finest butts in the world!
David Beckham has a pretty sweet ass, and great taste in undergarments as well. I wonder what his tramp stamp says?
okay bye!
I think Basketball should return to the "Daisy Duke" erra.....I would enjoy the game even more watching those Built Giants dribbling the ball Up & Down the Court with their Big-Tight Butts stuffed inside those Short-shorts.....
Imagine watching the whole Game and seeing nothing but Ass, bulge, Thighs and Legs.......
BOSS: I'm sorry, but I'll have to lay you and Jack off.
SUE: Can you just jack off? I feel like shit today.

According to Mr. Johnson...Back-in-the-day when Cookie Johinson saw him on the court in the butt-hugging, bulge-defining "tighty-shorts" she knew he had what she wanted...Magic told a Talk show host that the NBA needs to bring the "Daisy Dukes" back so people can have something to see...Bold-statement but Magic was only agreeing with the Female Talk show hostess comment...
I always thought it was because they squatted a lot...
Centrifugal forces during play forces them to have better shit retention.
For my money, ballet dancers and rugby players have the best asses.
Hell, rugby players have the best everything.
I have always lurved classically trained dancers: big rounded asses and a delight to watch in motion... it's not just poetry, not even a fucking epic poem, it's Heaven in eye-drop form...
What's Javy Lopez up to now that he's retired? I thought I read that he got divorced.
They don't. Hockey and soccer players do.

For many years, I hadn't thought about baseball players and their asses much. Then a friend took me to see a play...I think it was called "Out". It was about the first major league baseball player to come out of the closet (while playing). As a play, it was only fair. But as eye candy, it was amazing. They even had a shower scene, with working showers, and everybody naked. Hello.
.... Gymnastikos, . Companeros
I wouldn't say the best. They also have padding so that's why it seems that way....
They do have great asses though.
I think steroids have a lot to do with it.
Do straight guys notice this or are we in our little "fetish" planet?
In sport..it seems they see the score, we see the butt.
Yes Mr. M! It's overly shinny like Moon eclipse in the middle of dry field
edit: Moon eclipse isn't shinny duh but they are round :P

The Latest Language-Teaching Travel Apps
Thanks to the rise of social networking, smartphones, and faster Internet speeds, it's never been easier to immerse yourself in a new language without even leaving home.
The best-known method is Rosetta Stone, the interactive, total-immersion-style program that uses intuitive flash-card-like video games to teach students in the same way a child might learn a language. In other words: no boring grammar lectures or lessons. The service's Totale Version 4 program ($249; rosettastone.com) offers interactive, voice-recognition-enabled lessons in any of 24 languages on CD, online, or via an app for iPhone, as well as through live online sessions with a native speaker. For the more scholarly minded, Livemocha's Active classes ($99–$399 per year; livemocha.com) for French, Italian, Spanish, and German deliver a mix of text-based grammar and usage lessons and repeat-after-me-style exercises that use voice recognition to test pronunciation. Learners also interact with teachers and native speakers online, both in live video sessions and via e-mail and recorded voice messages.

UK's Osborne denies policy changes failed
Comment on this storyDavos, Switzerland - George Osborne, Britain's economic minister, has dismissed suggestions that the Bank of England's strategy to link monetary policy to unemployment has been a failure.
Figures this week showing UK unemployment rate down at 7.1 percent stoked speculation that the Bank would start raising interest rates soon.
Last year, the bank introduced "forward guidance" to its monetary policy framework, whereby it would not consider raising rates from their super-low levels until the unemployment rate was down at 7 percent.
However, in an interview Thursday with the BBC at the World Economic Forum, Carney said he was against "unnecessarily focusing on one indicator" in future.
That triggered talk that the concept had been abandoned.
Osborne told a panel Friday that Carney's plan to change the guidance was evidence the policy "works." - Sapa-AP

. I personally think it is, but there are millions of people who wouldn't care if they had an HR21.
Can tell you how many times I have swapped HR24s with something lower, and yes even with HR21s. 99% of folks have no clue that there is a difference. the only question I get (due to the aesthetic difference) is "is that an HDDVR?"
He has taken on all the risk, not DIRECTV, and he's asking for only some of the reward. I'm not saying it's a bad deal for the MDU operator,
Off topic, but I feel that when DirecTV deals with installation companies such as MDUs operators, and HSP, they ( DirecTV ) never takes any risk)
I personally think it's terrible how you were treated and I think your MDU operator could have worked harder to keep your business and get it right.
I wonder if there is any benefit for the MDU to really try and "make it right" since their tenants have no other options as far as their TV services is concerned.

The program is definitely a boon for anybody who needs to run several machines, and Synergy's cross-operating system clipboard support is really useful feature that removes the need to copy text files. But if I had three wishes, one of them would be easier configuration on Linux.

"These are yummy, easy to make and don't require a lot of special ingredients. They aren't as sweet as chocolate cupcakes. They're more like the muffin you get at a bakery for breakfast.

7/26/2014 Limited Late Model Feature Finish
July 29, 2014 by eastbay
Filed under Racing Results
Tampa, FL – July 29, 2014
7/26/2014 Limited Late Model Feature Finish
After extensive research and verification from Holley Carburetors about the screws holding the butterflies in place, we are re-installing Scotty Williams as the winner of the Limited Late Model feature event on Saturday night July 26, 2014. He will be awarded all monies, points and trophies for that event. We apologize to Scotty for the aggravation of the wrong call, but with the information we had at the time, we felt it was the right call. Now, that we have more information, we realize it was a mistake.
We made the call based on the past history of Holly Carburetors building the carburetors with the screws that protruded out a minimum of .060 inches. They now install a stainless steel screw that is installed with loc-tite and is flush with the shaft.
The rule is being amended and will be called this way in the future.
This change is only for the Limited Late Model class.
The Street Stocks do still have to abide by the .060 inch protruding rule for the 4412 carburetors.
We hope that all classes realize that we would prefer any questions or discrepancies that arise with any rule be brought to our attention before it makes it to the tech area. We have 7 classes that we have to police and when things change with products that we mandated and this is not brought to our attention, mistakes will take place. If there is any rule in any class that needs adjusting or changing, please bring it to our attention by letting either Steve O'Lone or Al Varnadore know and maybe we can keep this from happening in the future.
Congratulations Scotty, you did drive a great race and deserved the win.

Does anyone have one - what kind, how does it work? Do you worry about break-ins? Or loss of efficiency (heat/air)? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
My sister's had one for about 15 years. I has 2 heavy flexible inner & outer flaps, and a panel that slides into the indoor section to lock it closed. It is GREAT. Did not even notice heat loss this past frigid Chicago winter. Is only "open" when they are home. Gets "locked" shut when they are not home. Would need a very small child to fit through it (however, different sizes are available). |
I've had to break in through one before. Just slide the inside panel up and now you have a nice big hole you can reach in and grab the doorknob with. Quick and easy. The previous owners at our house also cut a messy hole with a circular saw through what was a nice solid, carved door to put one in, so because of that + being able to break in easily I'm not a fan. |
I have three Brittanys now, and have owned three at a time for many years. (love 'em!). BY FAR, the best dog door I have ever owned is the type I have linked below. I used to have another type that was a soft (but heavy) vinyl flap with attached magnets, and for the first several years, they were great. But they changed manufacturers, and the quality went way down. I started looking for a better style/brand. I was a bit shocked at the price of this kind, but after reading reviews for it on many sites, I bit the bullet and got one. It's been in for a few years, with my three blasting through it several times a day (and night) and it's worth every penny I paid for it. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Endura Flap™ Dog Doors for Walls
- Posted by technicolor (My Page) on Thu, Apr 24, 14 at 7:41
I just bought a stanley storm door for the kitchen. It has a dog door already installed which is very substantial for the use it will get, actually better than the separate ones available. The door needs some detail as it is very plain. I'm going to use some faux garage hinges on it which will up the looks and match my kitchen. But the nice thing is to still be able to lock up at night with the interior door. And the price was right, compared to buying a decent dog door and installing. I can't believe the price of dog doors now. HD has this door in store. Ask at the service desk as the door guys had no clue. |
We have had a Hale dog door for 5 years now and love it. It is incredibly sturdy. Worth every penny. And it's locking panel has a bolt to secure it. |
I had a dog door many years ago for my 2 dachshunds. I loved it!! Dh wouldn't let me put one in this house because he said the door was too nice to put a "hole" in. Ridiculous. A specific requirement for our new house was a laundry room with a back door to the outside. I will have a dog door in this house. Mine was small enough that I'm not too worried about break ins. Amyk--thanks for the heads up. |
Never considered putting it through a door. Ours is through an exterior wall (kitchen to backyard deck). |
My mom has one and loves it, but she locks it every night to prevent 'coons and possums from coming in at night -- and they would come in to eat the dog's food. |

It's Fallout 3 interview Friday! In our latest issue we've put together a feature looking back at one of the greatest RPGs on PS3, where we discuss how we feel about the game now that we've all had chance to explore every nook and cranny of the Capitol Wasteland. For the feature we bagged an exclusive interview with Emil Pagliarulo, the game's lead designer and writer, but we could only use a small part of it. Being the eco-friendly chaps that we are, we thought it was too good an interview to waste, so here it is, in all its glory:
Looking back, what aspect of Fallout 3 are you most proud of?
Wow, that's a tough question to answer. I'm honestly so proud of the game, and of all the hard work done by the dev team, it's difficult to pick out any specifics. I guess there are two things that really stand out for me. The first is V.A.T.S., and the way it really changes the way players engage in combat in first-person. It strikes a really good balance between player skill and character skill, and is always a rush to experience. The second is the game's story, and the reception the writing has received, including a few awards. That was really unexpected, especially considering some of the incredibly tough competition, like GTA IV; I respect the Rockstar guys immensely, so that was a real honour.
Which of the game's quests is your personal favourite, and why?
You know, I've always had a real soft spot in my heart for "Replicated Man," the quest that has you searching for the rogue android. It's part "Blade Runner," part "Logan's Run," and it introduces a place called the Institute, located in the Commonwealth; I'm from Boston, and that's a not-so-subtle reference to Massachusetts.
This quest was pretty simple (read: undeveloped) on paper, and our initial attempts to implement it were overcomplicated, convoluted, and not a whole lot of fun. We ended up scaling the gameplay paradigms way down, and the final quest is actually pretty simple. But it tells a really interesting story, and presents the player with a couple of very compelling choices. That's all I ever really wanted.
When it came to reviews, what criticisms of the game do you think were most valid? Do you think the game was under-scored?
As a hardcore gamer who spends way more money on games than he should, I'm usually of the opinion that any criticism is valid. When I spend sixty bucks on something, I feel like I've earned the right to bitch. So why shouldn't that rule apply to Fallout 3? It definitely should.
A lot of games are very limited in scope. They may have five gameplay elements, and they're each polished to 90%-%100%, if you're lucky. But with Fallout 3, the scope is enormous. You never run out of things to explore or do. But that comes with a bit of a price, meaning it's impossible to polish each of those elements to a 90%-100% level. In some instances, the game isn't as polished as it could be; the production values are maybe at, you know, 85% instead of 90%. Maybe there's an issue with an animation, or the voice acting, or whatever. And that bugs some people. We understand that, and we're constantly working on addressing those criticisms, because they're certainly valid.
As for the scores - overall, I think they're fantastic. The game's got a Metacritic score in the 90s for every platform, so what do I have to complain about? That's an achievement most devs never get to experience, so I consider myself truly fortunate in that regard.
Every Fallout game to date has been set in the United States - do you think we'll ever get to see how the Great War affected the rest of the world?
Who knows what the future will bring. But I will say I'm more a fan of the "write what you know" school of thought. That was one of the reasons we decided to set Fallout 3 in Washington, D.C. - who else, we thought, could really bring the nation's Capital to life in a video game the way we could? We're from the area, we know D.C. It just made sense. I think there are plenty more places in the United States that are ripe for discovery.

7 Sure-Fire Ways to Prevent an Affair
5. Quit Demeaning Men
At the height of the "women's movement" there was a joke circulating around, attributed to Gloria Steinem. "A woman needs a man, like a fish needs a bicycle." The sentiment may have been that women need to learn to stand on their own feet and take care of themselves. They have to stop making their identity dependent on having a man in their lives.
But the impact on men was devastating. If I am as irrelevant to my woman as a bicycle is to a fish, then why stay? Most men have a strong desire to protect and serve a woman. However, if we are not needed or wanted, or if our offers of support are seen as a big joke, well…"screw you" we say to ourselves. Our shame and rage get expressed in our cheating.
Few women consciously shame or demean the men in their lives. I've found that this most often happens when women are afraid. It's a vicious cycle. If a woman feels that she can't trust the man to be there for her, she distances herself a little bit. The man, feeling her distance, becomes irritable and angry. The woman, feeling the brunt of his anger, becomes even more afraid that he'll leave. The result is that we create the very thing we are most afraid of.
Women are constantly telling me that they want their man to open up to her, to share his true feelings. However, what I've found (and many men have told me), when we do open up and share our feelings, the woman often rejects us. Usually when they say they want to know how we feel, they mean "I want you to shower me with love and affection." When they hear how angry, hurt, and frightened we are, they often run and hide.
Mark Brady had a professor in graduate school, a wise woman who understood these things. She told the women in her class, "Ladies," she said, "if you want your partners to be emotionally available to you, you can't cut their balls off every time they show some vulnerability."
6. Get Thee to a Men's Group
I've been in the same men's group for 33 years—7 guys who are committed to supporting each other through life. We came together at a men's conference in April, 1979 and have been together ever since.
During our get-togethers, what will we talk about? What will we do? Well, I can't say. Not because it's a big secret, but because I won't know until we get there. What I can say is that it will be real. It will be loving. We trust each other enough to let our feelings out—the good, the bad, and the ugly. But most of all we are there for each other.
I believe that few long term relationships can survive unless men get away together. If you don't have men who are there for you and who you can be there for, you will have a difficult time being there for women. You will always be hungry, always be needy, always be restless, always be looking for someone or something to fill the void you feel inside.
7. Grow Up Guys. The World Needs You.

Topic » Contraceptives and Condoms
Around the world, 222 million women want to prevent pregnancy but need contraception. Meeting women's needs for family planning and maternal and child health care would prevent 53 million unintended pregnancies each year, resulting in 14.5 million fewer abortions and 250,000 fewer women dying in pregnancy or childbirth annually. In addition, improving access to male and female condoms can significantly reduce the number of infections transmitted through sexual intercourse, including HIV.
PAI demonstrates that reproductive health services should be comprehensive and include a variety of contraceptive methods to meet the needs of women, men and young people. Meeting the demand for contraceptives would improve the health of women and the stability of their families and communities.
