What's funny is that during Kanye's set, Katy Perry and Rihanna were standing 50 feet away from the stage. Yet neither appeared onstage. Kanye did a TV performance with Katy about a week late.
Gorillaz had several guest cancel because of the volcano.
I loved the guests. I'm just surprised more people weren't annoyed that Dre was only onstage for 25-30 minutes. Dig up the multi-page thread were fans insisted it would be a 90-100 minute show.
No one cares.

Playaz Ball confirmed!
Slightly Stoopid? They could serve as 2013's requisite reggae/rock act...they just announced Spring tour dates.
Nothing close to Los Angeles, and they're doing Red Rocks on 4/20 (naturally)...that'd fit for a Coachella slot, right?
Christopher Owns (ex-GIRLS frontmang') us touring europe and the east coast up through march (3/09) and has a new album out in 2 weeks. The album is IMHO a mighty fine listen. Girls have played Coachella before. Could be a great tent act with the backing band.
That Christopher Owens album is so disappointing. I want GIRLS back.
oh my gosh! that is what I was doing!! I was going to coachella and and then 3 days after I am heading to spain but now i'm selling my coachella ticket because I think i won't have enough money! Omg but after seeing your post I'm wondering if I should just keep it and go!!!
I don't like this guy...
i will say it does look like that stone rolled to its current resting point. Let us dissect this picture more. Granite?
I think they're trying to say we should all get stoned
I gotta make a point that when I downloaded the image from coachella's fb page today the file was titled "stone-380x380.jpg". In my mind that proved that the intent was to make a play on the word stone. Rolling Stones confirmed.

My pushrods, on the elevator, was pretty soft so that they was bending and not able to push the elevator enough up and down. To make them stronger
I took a zip tight (I think that's the English word?), cut of the end of it and glued it into the elevator. Now they are strong and not bending. I also added some lead in the original lipo hatch, because I have move the lipo behind the canopy. |
Aug 08, 2010, 03:18 PM | |
this was my mod, using carbon fiber pushrods to elevator. Easy with hollow CF tube. I upgraded servos to HS65HB.
Other mods, HET 2W-20 motor, 6904 EDF unit, Typhoon 75 amp ESC. All from www.EJF.com Note, this is the Nitro planes/Starmax F-18 |

Spookie Power
My "kit" from Electric Jet Factory came like this in a box. High quality HET components. Certainly it's easier to work on the fan unit, install the motor with a fan outside the fuselage. I did have some trouble getting the stock fan out of the fuselage. Once you get the stock fan out, putting in the new fan was pretty easy. I did build a test bed to test motor/fan components, run up EDF fans before installation, etc. Note, my F-18 is the Starmax/Nitro planes unit. |
Aug 09, 2010, 01:58 AM | ||
yes, it all fits and will assemble no probs.. (ive only test fitted it) installing the 70mm setup was VERY easy, as was adding the rudder setup. (both mods are childs play and work to perfection if you take your time) however im working on other parts of the horny, so ive left the fan out until ive completely finished + cleaned out any loose bits of foam with an air comp so i know the fan doesnt eat anything first time i fire it up. im currently looking at running both Ele's on independant channels, with some mixing. |
Aug 09, 2010, 05:36 AM | |
Another way to strengthen the pushrods on the cheap is to get a piece of carbon rod about the same length as the pushrod. Put them together then using normal cotton sewing thread wind it around until its all covered. This may take 100 turns or so. I cant remember. Then slop Epoxy all over it. It will not ever flex again.

This is a quick snapshot of my F18 hanging upside down from the ceiling.
If you look at the red spot, this is where I found the COG to be perfect. But I'm not sure if it is 2" in front of the main landing gear. |

Today I finally got my new motor installed - Turnigy 2615 EDF Outrunner 4800kv. I also installed a new ESC - TURNIGY Plush 60amp.
I had some hard time, removing the rotor adapter from the old motor, but I found out, that if I gave it a lot of heat, I could pull it of and install it on my new motor (look at the photo). I did a test on the ground and the result = 491.5 watts - 45.85 amps - on a 3s Lipo fully charged. The stock motor gave me 322 watts. |

I am a full-time real estate agent and run a small web development company on the side. I work 24/7 which is why I've decided to try match out. Vacation means rest and relaxation, and can only be accomplished if my iPhones off. I'm looking for someone with a good sense of humor who genuinely cares to find their better half. I believe heavily in the "work hard - play hard" mentality. I can be assertive when necessary, or outgoing and spontaneous when needed. Trying new things is a welcomed challenge not a hurdle. I believe you never know if your good at something until you've given it a try - if your not good or don't enjoy it you can never regret not giving it a go.

LostonHoth You seem to have a somewhat favorable view of Hamas. I personally think they're a group of thugs. Consider the fact that they were founded by the Muslim Brotherhood which is a radical Islamic group. Also consider that they spread anti-semitic propaganda and insist that the potocols of the Elder of Zion as factual. Also keep in mind that as a radical islamic group they oppress women, a good example is when they murdered a female for being unchaperoned in her fiancee's car. So far from being the "Braveheart" of Palestine, as you so eloquently put it, they're more like a group extremists with a political agenda, not just to free Palestine but also to take control as a political party and gain power.
The Palestinian people are comprised of both Muslims and Christians and I can tell you from personal experience that not all religious people are fundemantalists. Not all of them allow their religion to define their every action and thought. Being a Muslim is like being male or female. It's something you are born with. However, there are varying degrees of adherence and care factor. I know you are influenced by people like Sam Harris. I've read one of his books. He is a very good writer and I agree with most of his conclusions but much of what he writes is commentary it is not research based. The Palestinian people have had any number of 'rulers' over the course of their history. However, whenever there was a change of ownership, say from Ottoman rule to British mandate, there was little practical effect. The predominantly agricultural population still went about their daily lives in the same way as they had for hundreds of years. However, with the creation of the state of Israel, this fundamentally changed because Israel is at its core a 'Jewish' state and its core basis is the belief that for a Jewish state to be viable it has to be populated with Jews. Thus, the Palestinians must leave and stay absent. Every aspect of Israeli society is designed to provide the maximum incentive for the Palestinians to leave, to go to Jordan, Syria, Egypt wherever. Whilst there are groups within Israel who push for peace it is not and never has been official Israeli policy, or at least, not a 'just' peace. Rabin tried to facilitate a 'just' peace and he was murdered for his trouble. Murdered by a Jewish extremist. I'm happy to talk about the so called 'peace process' if you wish but that might require another thread.
Two years ago, in Lebanon, they bombed a thousand civilians to death and destroyed the Lebanese economy for no good reason. That's not pushing for peace. The Israeli government has a bad habit of lashing out, getting people killed, pissing off the international community, and then running and hiding behind the U.S., playing the righteous little victim. Think of the Middle East as a classroom, and the Israeli government as the obnoxious teacher's pet. And we're the teacher, who constantly shields the teacher's pet from everything, no matter what he does. In church, in politics, and to a large extent in school, we're taught here that Israel is the good guy, defending itself from bullies. But the fact is that Israel is just as much a bully as any other country in the region, sometimes ? like in Lebanon ? more so. It's not the good guy. There are no good guys in that conflict. Frankly, especially since none of the other countries in the region are a military threat to Israel (remember that time everybody else went to war with them at once, and lost in six days?), I think we ought to take a step back and let them sort it out themselves.
First of all, it's not Jews and Muslims. It's the governments and the people who support them. Not all Jews or all Israelis or all Muslims or all Christains or all Palestinians want anything. Second, atrocities have been committed on both sides. Someone above me said that there are no good guys. I'd take that and say that there are good guys on both sides but that neither side is good. Rabin vs. Begin and Sharon. Sadat vs. Arafat. Third, the situation is not going to improve any time soon, I fear. I don't know much about Livni, but she couldn't form a big enough coalition in the Knesset, even with Barak agreeing to unite with her, and Sharon's successor is still in power until the election. He's Sharon's protege, and Sharon is a former general and a man who always met violence with more violence and gave up on peace talks and deals too soon. Last I heard, the predicted winner of the election is the Likud party. Those people are conservatives, they'll likely get the the fundamentalist Jewish groups to form a coalition, and they are the party of Begin and the former party of Sharon. Netanyahu would become the prime minister and the Israeli government wouldn't change its stance on how to deal with the Palestinians. Fourth, violence has gotten us nothing. Peace hasn't done a lot either (I say again, Sadat and Rabin, murdered by their own people). But Israel, if only because it is an established country, deserves its existance. An independent state of Palestine also deserves to exist, uncontrolled by anyone but the Palestinians. And the attacks from both sides need to stop.
To my uneducated point of view, it really seems a case of two immovable objects dealing with two unstoppable forces, although I do think medieval Christian Europe is the ultimate cause of the conflict. I say that because Christian Europe twice adversely affected the Palestinian region and done it irreparable damage, as follows: In the 1090s or so, Alexius I, the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire (the remains of the Eastern Roman Empire) was having trouble with (IIRC) Arab military raids on the eastern borders of his empire, centred around southeastern Turkey and Palestine. He wrote a letter to the Catholic Pope, Urban II, requesting a small amount of military assistance, assuming the Pope had a similar small, professional, paid army at his disposal as Alexius did. Urban, though, seized on the opportunity to expand the authority of the Papacy in medieval Europe and basically made a declaration at Clermont in 1098 that those who went on crusade to the Holy Land to free Jerusalem from the Muslims would receive his reward in heaven. (Sound familiar, incidentally?) What happened in the wake of that announcement was no less than a mass migration: tens of thousands of Christian military men, nobles, and commoners went in vast pilgrimages from various points in Europe through Turkey, smashing its way through Palestine and taking Jerusalem in 1099. (I might point out that the Teutonic (i.e. German/Northern) crusaders, in a chilling fit of apparent piety, slaughtered whole villages full of Jews on the way to the Holy Land.) The stupidest part of it was that up to that point Jerusalem was more or less a harmonious environment for Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Apparently the Muslims did impose some fees for Christians to visit certain holy places in Jerusalem shortly before the Crusades began, but by and large folks more or less got along in their own separate quarters of the city. It was this crusade that set off a good two hundred years of warfare in Palestine, and by its end, the Muslim nations of that area had evolved from semi-peaceful, moderate civilisations into exactly the warrior, jihading stereotypes that Urban had alleged they were to begin with. The anti-Western sentiment in the Holy Land is ultimately an echo of this period, and it continues even today; Robert Hollister, a medieval historian who visited Istanbul only ten years ago, tells an anecdote where his tour guide still spoke of "those damned Crusaders" in reference to the sacking of Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade. The other thing Christian Europe did, which led to the current problem in Palestine, was to persecute Jews for several hundred years right up until the twentieth century. This was a holdover from the old Christian stupidity from the Bible that the Jews had apparently deserved condemnation because they killed Christ: "Let his blood be upon us and upon our children", etc. etc. Jews generally were restricted in the things they were allowed to do in Christian settlements, and eventually turned to moneylending. Shakespeare himself played into this anti-Jewish sentiment when he wrote "The Merchant of Venice" -- the antagonist was a Jewish merchant upon whom Shakespeare poured about as much evil and villainy as he'd done Macbeth (another similarly-maligned historical figure courtesy of the Bard.) This is not saying Shakespeare was anti-Semitic ... only that he knew his audiences and he knew his time. The Jews' moneylending activities led to great resentment from the commoners in Europe; indeed countries like Poland and Germany persecuted and discriminated against the Jews on a pseudo-religious basis for centuries. And Adolf Hitler tapped into this resentment as part of his rise to power. The West also likes to avoid talking about exactly how widespread anti-Jewish sentiment was before World War II broke out; look for details on the voyage of the SS St. Louis in the 1930s. Hitler sent a boatload of Jews off from Germany, predicting that nobody in the world would take them, and he was right:
The point I'm trying to make is that by using violence at all, the Palestinians are just setting themselves up for massive fail. When you commit violence against a nation, that nation is more or less free to respond in whichever way it deems fit. For the Israelis, that's massive retaliation. All the Palestinians are doing are allowing the Israelis to blow the living crap out of them and basically be able to get away with it, because they're protecting their citizens from people trying to kill them. Other nations accept that, however grudgingly. If the Palestinians started staging sit-ins and peaceful protests, then Israel wouldn't have a legitimate excuse to use violence against them. And if they did use violence to break up a peaceful rally, then not even their trick of getting behind the US would work, because they'd be moving themselves from a morally grey area-"yes, we're killing civilians, but solely because they're killing ours"-to one whose company is the Third Reich and the USSR in Hungary. The Palestinians may have a right to use violence to express their righteous indignation. Whether or not it'll actually get them anywhere besides mini-states that Israel could gobble back up in the blink of an eye-No.
I understand what you're saying but the reality is that the firing of rockets and suicide bombings seem to make the news, all other forms of peaceful protest are ignored. The Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem has documented Israeli violence and aggression towards any form of protest whether it is peaceful or otherwise: http://www.btselem.org/English/Beating_and_Abuse/Index.asp http://www.btselem.org/english/publications/Index.asp?TF=14 http://www.btselem.org/english/statistics/Casualties.asp http://www.btselem.org/english/statistics/Minors_in_Custody.asp Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch have also documented examples of Israeli defence forces firing rubber bullets, live ammunition and tear gas to disperse protesters, including children. In the West Bank and Gaza it is illegal to raise a Palestinian flag and make V sign. I'll post the specific reports when I can. I believe that Hamas militants want epic fail. They want Israel to adopt its usual policy of collective punishment because the more dead Pelstinian children there are the more sympathetic coverage they get. It's sad and pathetic but that is what it has come down to. That is what 40 years of oppressive military occupation does to people.
Hmm. I may have to lower my belief in the basic goodness of people if there's that much documented abuse towards peaceful protestors in Israel and nobody honestly cares.
Well both sides are screwed up and wrong. People who think one side or the other is right are wrong. As far as this particular conflict goes, I don't buy this argument that the Palestinians deserve sympathy because Israel is using all available means and they don't have any means. In other words, I don't see Israel actions as violating the principles of jus in bello. They should have thought of that before they started throwing rocks at the guys with the big guns. Of course they have reasons to resist, but weak minorities can't fight back and then complain about the consequences of fighting a much larger power. Of course Israel needs to control itself and I don't know if the ground invasion was the best move at this point. But really both parties are like two kids in the back of the van beating the crap out of each other. They know at some point the car is going to pull over and they will be forced to stop, so the more damage you can do, the better. And expecting them to resolve it themselves is just silly. Oh and don't forget that Egypt shares a border, and the Muslim world for all its outrage has never bothered to end the suffering themselves by allowing the displaced into their countries. But the other thing to remember is that this conflict isn't due to the political leaders, each side has had democratic elections and both have chosen this path to violence.
Unfortunately, yes. Both sides have, IMO, violated basic human rights and committed atrocities. It's situations like these when I wish the UN was powerfu enough to say "**** this ****" and step in and end it.
60 even. Or aren't we counting refugees? One side has a country and an army, the other doesn't. One side can elect any war criminal as their leader, the other can't. One side is being allowed to build a wall, the other side can't have a road. One side has no houses torn down, the other side eiighteen thousand. One side can move around the whole world, the other side can't leave their country or visit their family. One side has had 123 children killed since 2000, the other side 1050. One side has been targeted by 65 UN resolutions, the other side none. One side has a thousand political prisoners, the other side one. One side is backed by a world power, the other side isn't. So I think you should reconsider that statement.
Emotional hyperbole is not an argument. One side has a country and an army, the other doesn't They do have terrorists and rockets directly targeting civilians. The fact they aren't very good at it doesn't come into a type of moral argument against them. One side can elect any war criminal as their leader, the other can't. Terrorists are war criminals, and they did elect the party who promotes terrorists. One side is being allowed to build a wall, the other side can't have a road. They didn't build the wall until the people started blowing themselves up. One side has no houses torn down, the other side eiighteen thousand. Not sure how having rockets shot at your house is much better than it being torn down. Either way you can't live in it. One side can move around the whole world, the other side can't leave their country or visit their family. That isn't something Israel has done, it is something the world has done. The Arabs are just as much at fault as anybody. One side has had 123 children killed since 2000, the other side 1050. The side that had so many children killed was due in part because they were being used as human shields by that same side. Both have killed children, one is too many. One side has been targeted by 65 UN resolutions, the other side none One is a country that can be targeted, the other isn't. Last time I checked, terrorism wasn't accepted by the UN as a valid form of warfare. One side has a thousand political prisoners, the other side one. One side doesn't take political prisioners, they kill them. One side is backed by a world power, the other side isn't. What does that have to do with who is morally right? Don't take this as a proclamation that Israel is morally superior. At best they are only marginally so, but my point was that neither side is right, and nothing you have said is an argument that doesn't have a counterpoint.
One big problem with the conflict is of course that there aren't any easy "right or wrong" or "good and bad" sides, since both share the blame. I think the solution must mostly lie on the Israeli side though. That's where we have a working democracy where people can do something to change, while I think at the moment there is little possiblity for most Palestinians to actually change the policies of their leaders. If I dare to be hopeful I think it's a good thing that Israeli leaders like Olmert has gone out calling some of the antics of some of the jewish settlers for pogroms, which hopefully should lead to a bit more debate in Israel when it comes to their policies, and if they are working. Without a majority of both groups I think it will be hard to get a lasting peace, and at the moment it's clear that there is no support on either side.
I agree with DarthBoba, I feel like the Palestinians' can't just try and use violence, but then again, I agree with the idea that in America and in India, while non-violent protest was glorified and ultimately won out, there was plenty of violent rebellion. And let's not forget how the United States won its independance in the first place. People talk about a two state solution. What would the borders be? What about Jeruselum? Espy, you have to admit that this conflict is in no way a fair fight. I want to try avoiding terms like "who is right and who is morally justified" etc. On the other hand, we should try and be critical of both sides. Espy, we all tend to agree that violence should be avoided. Hamas should not be throwing rockets into Israel's backyard, they are just asking for trouble. But is their anything Israel can do (other than raining down fire on innocent civilians) to improve the situation of the Palastinian people? Are there any civil or human rights concerns you have regarding how Israel runs the region?
I guess what I am saying is that I don't care it is not a fair fight. It not being a fair fight doesn't mean we should excuse Hamas. My original point was that there isn't a "morally justified" or "right" side. I would agree there are other things they can and should do besides the current military action, and should consider that doing nice things for people like letting them eat would stop some from trying to kill them. But the current situation does make an interesting case for genocide. If they keep this up for a couple more thousand years, it would have saved more lives in the end just to eliminate one side. Coin toss to determine the loser.
Given that Hamas seeks Israel's elimination, what else can Israel do? You cannot really negotiate with people who intend to commit genocide. Well, put it this way, Israel right now is carrying out the only possible negotiations.
Hamas is the creation of Israeli policy in Gaza. Hamas is the inevitable result of Israel imposing a brutal military occupation upon 1.3 million people living in squalid conditions. If there was no brutal military occupation then there would be no Hamas. You will note that where the Israeli military occupation is less oppressive and less brutal (such as parts of the West Bank), more moderate Palestinian leadership prevails. It's a simple fact of life that if you systemically abuse and brutalize a person for long enough then that person will react in the same manner. If any of us were subjected to the same conditions of abuse, I guarantee we would all react in the same way. Israel has created such conditions of hate and desperation that any Palestinian leadership in Gaza that doesn't call for the destruction of Israel would most likely be lynched.
Espy, I'm just going to ignore your ridiculous genocide comment and pretend you never said it. The fact that it isn't a fair fight doesn't mean we should excuse Hamas, fine, but what about excusing Israel? Do you think its a proportional and justified response? What if America, after 9-11, decide simply to nuke the entire middle east? Now clearly, I am not saying this is the same as that, I am just trying to illustrate the idea that even a provked attack can lead to overreaction. Do you have any feeling that Israel overreacted, or perhaps is using the attack for political purposes? JediSmuggler, I disagree. Just because a political party has taken a hardline stance does not mean your only recourse is shut off their people's electricity, deny them aid, bomb their church's and schools, and kill their citizens. Is such suffering really necessary to ensure the survival of Israel? Maybe it is, I hope it isn't. Furthermore, the Soviet Union sought the elimination of the United States and pretty much all other countries, but we were able to negotiate peace with them in the end weren't we? I mean, Hamas is an organization that is unfortunatley taking a hard-line anti-Israeli stance, but does that mean we give up all hope? Heck, even Darth Vader came back from the dark side. I believe people can be changed, and that we should always be working towards that goal of peace.
The genocide comment wasn't serious, I was just pointing out how things are so bad, even the worst option isn't much worse than a continuation of the current situation. It is possible for Israel to overreact, and they did so during the conflict two years ago. Right now we don't have much information, and using a lot of force isn't the same thing as an overreaction. From the numbers I have seen, it seems most of those killed so far were affiliated with Hamas, and considering that Hamas hides in heavily populated areas, civilian casualties are expected by both sides. I don't think it is fair to expect Israel to not kill any women or children. I do think Israel should give more humanitarian aid to the people, and we should put more pressure on them to change. But we can't allow Hamas to win because they hate us to. Israel is still our dog in this fight. Yes they fight dirty and it is our interest they don't get us pulled into fights we don't want to be int, but they also can be used against our enemies without us having to get our hands dirty.
Wow, Smuggler and I are on the same side. It is a very complicated issue, but rather than dissect who is to blame or who "started it", I would like to make some general points: 1) The concept of proportionality-Israel gets blasted for being "excessive", yet the world media tends not to point out the fact that they actually have one of the most humanitarian militaries on the planet. For example, they warn civilians in areas they are going to target, both by leaflets and text messages in arabic. Name me any other army that does that. Secondly, there is this "idea" that the fact Israel has better weapons and a superior military means that any response against terrorism is an "overreaction". Does this mean that if Israel fired Qassam rockets back into Gaza then it would be "ok"? I've always wondered about that. The fact that the Israelis have better aim doesn't make their response "disproportionate". 2) Terrorism vs. legitimate war-whatever the situation in the past, Hamas is now the democratically-elected government of the Gaza territories. As such, when they started firing rockets into Israel after the truce expired, they committed an open act of war. When the government of one state attacks another state, they are in fact declaring war. The reality, that they attacked a superior, better trained, better equipped fighting force, doesn't in any way, shape or form diminish their own culpability. We as a planet need to remember this. Israel, as a member state of the U.N., which the U.N. agreed to create back in 1948, has been condemned for exercising it's right to defend itself more than any other nation on the planet since its' inception. Have we ever stopped to ask ourselves why? What is the "undercurrent" that makes criticizing Israel so very easy, and so very satisfying? Is it anti-semitism, oil, fear of antagonizing a billion Muslims, or something more? 3) Hamas's role in the conflict-in 2005, Israel withdrew from Gaza, and foreign investment poured in. Hopes were high for a rising standard of living, education, infrastructure, growth. Instead, weapons were bought, military centers set up, rocket sites constructed-almost all in civilian areas. The needs of the palestinian people were ignored over what was perceived as weakness, and preparations were made for the war that is now occuring. Israel's actions in Lebanon made the situation worse, as it's mismanagement led to Israel looking weak and indecisive. Yet we never hear of Hamas's use of the palestinian people as human shields. The arab world takes to the street to scream at the Jews, yet they never send aid to the Palestinians, only weapons. We've all heard the old argument "what would the US do if Mexico fired rockets into San Diego, etc", but no-one ever seems to ask the question why is it ok for Hamas to set up launch sites in people's homes, at schools; why is it ok for them to target civilians directly, as noncombatants? Perhaps we need to ask these questions. 4) Iran-I will make this one brief. Iran has been fighting a proxy war with Israel for decades through Hezbollah and Hamas. If this continues, Israel may decide to make it open war with Iran, not a pleasant prospect. I have to wonder though, if the Iranian leadership really wants to keep selling weapons to Hamas and Hezbollah if the price is potentially a real conflict with Israel. Only time will tell on this one. Finally: 5) Everyone's goals-Israel probably wants to stop living in a marshal society, which is going to be tough given that they are surrounded by enemies. However, Hamas's goals, which are the destruction of Israel and the death of every last jew, are written into its' charter. Sound biased? It is. My take on this situation is that by consistently provoking an Israeli response, one which kills civilians in large numbers, despite Israel's attempts to avoid this situation, Hamas is hoping to shift world opinion, specifically in the West, to a stance that puts the dissolution of Israel back on the ne
For example, they warn civilians in areas they are going to target, both by leaflets and text messages in arabic. Name me any other army that does that. The US military does. There's actually an entire branch devoted to it-Civil Affairs/Psychological Operations. It's where information intersects with warfare. There's the humanitarian aspect-the civilian population is warned ahead of time, and there's the demoralizing effect on the enemy. In fact, back during Desert Storm, when precision guided munitions were coming into their own, many of the Iraqi soldiers who surrendered en-masse indicated that the warning leaflets had the same effect as the bombs themselves. It ended up saving their lives because they didn't end up actually being bombed.
It would have caused less civilian casualties. Umm, Israel had the Gaza territories under a blockade, which is an act of war Are there any non-civilian areas in Gaza? Do you ever wonder why Mexicans don't fire rockets at San Diego? And as far as Arab and Iranian aid to Hamas, what about U.S. military aid to Israel, which we see is going to be $3,000,000,000+ per year over the next decade. Those bombs being dropped in Gaza were made in America.
Since the blockade and the ability of Palestinians to move freely have both come up, is there a reason why the Egyptian-Gaza border isn't an option?
Egypt has, for all intents and purposes, closed the border. http://www.latimes.com/features/health/medicine/la-fg-border5-2009jan05,0,142707.story

Timelapse of iSight wakeup captures
A few months back, we wrote about reader Dylan's iSight autocapture project-- he rigged up the code to have his iSight on his MacBook Pro snap a photo every time the lid was opened (and even released all of his work as open source). At the time, he mentioned eventually combining all of the photos together into a timelapse video, and seven months later, here it is.
Unfortunately, he says the Sleepwatcher daemon he was using doesn't work as of 10.4.10, so the project is over until it gets updated, if ever. But he did share with us how he compiled the images together into a timelapse-- he punched out a Perl script (which is reprinted after the jump) to rename all of the pictures into sequenced filenames, and then squished them together with Quicktime's "image sequence" feature. Very nice.
foreach my $file (`ls *.jpg`) {
system("cp $file sequence/$iteration.jpg;");

Ttrexxx 5pts I bought a cross tour all wheel drive..sporty style on the outside. Huge on the inside. V6. Can run on 3 cylinders. ...didn't like the stick in the middle of the dash on the yota...and it looks like a suv...the Honda looks fast standing still in black
bdean 5pts Nah, more like it kills YOU to face the FACT that Toyota's dominance is slipping away as the Camry and Corolla continue to LOSE marketshare.
Mark 5pts I am still driving my 2004 Corolla with over 220,000 miles on the odometer and its still running very strong. Just regular maintenance and one radiator replaced. The most reliable car we ever owned. My Accord and Odyssey doesn't even make it to 100,000 miles and both Auto Transmission DEAD. Honda's suck!!!!!!!!!
Mindreader ur not! 5pts Ahhh not from Detroit ,sorry .masshole here. I did want an accord ,the hatchback version. I believe I gave both company's some props for the quality ,so no real smear either. Ur 3 for 3 so far Kar-nack ( take the time and look it up if u don't know who he is) and get off the Asian's payroll
suprafastcelica 5pts Funny that the us government is the top fleet buyer and even funnier that they are buying Japanese cars. However more of the foreign car are built in the states more so than the "big 3".
bdean 5pts Let's give some time for Nissan to build up inventory of the new Altima and as for the Fusion, it's on its last legs and domestics always sell more to fleet (who do you think the largest fleet provider is in Japan?). And even if the Altima doesn't surpass the Camry in sales, it'll be close - much closer than it has ever been. The Camry used to outsell the Altima by a large margin and the competition from Chevy, Hyundai/Kia and Ford by many multiples - that's no longer the case (even with increased incentive spending and fleet sales by Toyota). People are buying Camrys and esp. Corollas b/c of PRICE (esp. the Corolla which is cheap for its segment). However, in a more discerning auto market such as Canada's, both the Civic and Elantra outsell the Corolla (the refreshed Mazda3 did as well for the past couple of months). And again, domestics always sell more to fleet (Toyota dominates fleet sales in Japan). The 4% fleet rate for Toyota was just for July; for the 1st half of 2012, Toyota's fleet rate % was 16%, so it's not just "2 years ago."
Chris 5pts I'm saying selling over 300k to retail customers is much more significant and relevant. But haters gone hate......
Liv 5pts IMO, the accord has always had the better design. They are both great cars. I believe the new accord will get back to the dynamics that defined it in the earlier generations. Oh and don't forget a Camry that embarrasses a FRS, atleast in a straight line LOL.
92Vectra1.6i 5pts Damb it, my sub just ran out on better homes & Gradens, so glad for MT! my toyota is really great, and and the quality is great too, well that is what everyone tells me so hip hip hooray! I love cars, they rock!
ScrewYouMT 5pts You really should get out and drive more, ur magazine really sux and seems to only attract bus drivers and fat old lezbos, take to kock out of your mouth and jump off of a building, it would do us all a favor. Thank You!
gfinms 5pts Honda is unique, among the world's automakers. No other automaker, makes the number of different products Honda does. Now, Honda is making jets, amazing.
Sonata 2.0T 5pts Honda and Acura combined outsold Hyundai/Kia by just 15,000 units last year... I'm pretty sure they had more than 10 models, too. If you take fleet sales out of the picture, the Korean twins win.
Sonata 2.0T 5pts Wrong! 2011 Sonata sales were 225,961! But historically, Hyundai wasn't even in the game. The only coversation where the Sonata should be included is when talking about the future, not the past.
Cali 5pts From 1986-1997 the Taurus was the best seller and we're coming back for the crown in fusion form!!
GregoryTemsp 5pts Korean cars are the worst cars out there. I bought a Hyundai a few years ago, and it was easily the worst car I had ever owned. There was too much tire noise and the suspension was just bad. Also, those interior materials in the Hyundai were very cheap and sub-par, even for an economy car. It was a mistake I will never make again.
tortillarat 5pts "you see very few Toyotas of that vintage" Based on the sales numbers in this very article, you probably see more Hondas of that vintage since more were around in the first place. I personally see plenty of older Toyotas on the road.
Hondarocks 5pts Are you serious? Look around... you still see plenty of Hondas from late 80s and early to mid 90s, yet you see very few Toyotas of that vintage. That should tell you something. Hondas stand up to time and mileage MUCH better than Toyotas in general. Camry's interior has been crappy since 1992 redesign.
celica21gtfour 5pts I didn't say the Camry is good to drive, but it's refined. In the Honda you feel fast even at lower speed because it's tinny, noisy & unrefined. Fleet hurts resale value because of condition & high mileage, but at the same high mileage most Hondas have more problems than Toyotas.
Matt 5pts You show your ignorance. Both are good cars. You buy the Toyota if the act of driving aggravates you and you buy the Honda if you like to drive. Most Camrys drive like 1988 Buicks. Toyota did build a good car until it went to the GM school of crappy interiors and fleet sales. Fleet sales also hurt resale values as shown buy the book values and ALG numbers.
Texas Bob 5pts While back some magazine published a list of the best selling sedan over the years, and the 0-60 times for the high performance variant; and what was truly amazing is that a new V-6 Camry is significantly faster than a 409 Chevy Impala! Wow! '
Analyzerlx 5pts Hyundai/Kia Automotive Group is the fourth largest manufacturer globally, they must be doing something right. Same can be said with the top 3: GM, Toyota, and VW. Honda is a good car company with a great reputation, but they price their cars off the lists of many shoppers.
Chris 5pts Also note how Camry still beat the all-new Altima, and the 30% fleet Fusion last month. Any way you look at it a people prefer to buy Corollas and Camrys. And that will not change. Toyota "gorging" on fleet is less than 15% in the first half, so what is Chrysler's 35-40%? Toyota has said they will be 8% or less fleet the rest of the year, so you'll have to find something else to hate. Corolla never goes above 20% fleet, which is where the domestics are just getting warmed up. Something tells me current fleet levels at 4% is much more relevant than 2 years ago being 15%. I don't know why I think that, but I do.
celica21gtfour 5pts Of course Toyota sold many Camrys to fleet, as Camry is much more reliable & durable than Accord. A "noisy" Accord could do faster in 0-400m (1/4 mile), but a "smooth" Camry can reach 400,000 km (250Kmile) with proper maintenance & normal spare parts replacement. The build quality of 3rd ('92-'96) & 4th generations ('97-'01) Camry is awesome. Accord might look nicer but after few years shown its poor quality. Perhaps the best ever Camry was '92 SE with 5 speed manual & at that time Toyota also made its best Celica ever, All-Trac GT-Four. I'm not a Camry fans & but Camry & most Toyotas are much better, definitely more durable & reliable cars than Accord & any Honda.
bdean 5pts I'm aware of all that (and more). Toyota's fleet % is a lot higher than it used to be during the 1990s-2000s, and considering the total no. of vehicles Toyota sells 15% is a lot of vehicles to fleet (it's one thing is 15% of Mazda sales are to fleet, it's another if 15% of Toyota sales are to fleet). Last year, over 440k Corollas were sold, but the Corolla did not make the 400K RETAIL sales club. So that means over 40k Corollas went to fleet (and that was in a supply constrained year due to the tsunami). The year prior, in 2010, nearly 57k Camrys went to fleet. Anyway you look at it, that's a lot of Camrys and Corollas to fleet. And while Toyota only did 4% fleet last month, they gorged on fleet sales for the 1st half of the year. Note how Camry sales have declined - from 43k in March and 40k in May down to 30k in July (as Toyota cut back in fleet sales in July).
bdean 5pts 15-18% is a lot more than what Toyota used to do in the past, and considering their big sales totals, that's a lot of cars to fleet. For instance, in 2010, nearly 57k Camrys went into fleet (17% of total Camry sales for the year). Are you saying that 57k Camrys to fleet isn't a lot? And Toyota's fleet % for the 1st half of the year is 16%, so they have a ways to go before they hit single digits.
eagle1609 5pts MARC LIM, Hyundai came to America in 1983 and every vehicle they have made including the Sonata is way short of what the Honda Accord alone has sold since 1983 till date. The reality is that the lowest sale the Accord has ever recorded is 222,137 in 1983 and the Sonata has never sold that many cars in a year.
eagle1609 5pts Sales can be subjective or irrelevant, right now Hyundai/Kai have a combined 16 cars in their stable and the Honda has 10, even with that Honda is outselling them. If Hyundai should reduce the number of types of cars to 10, they will likely be selling half of what Honda sells, and if you have to go a little further - no more fleet sales , pls what will be left with Hyundai sales? Hyundai can eventually sell more cars than Honda , that will not take away from the aura of Honda, Lexus sells more cars than BMW and Mercedes , but it has not stopped the Bimmer from beign the ultimate driving machine. It,s a big market everyone is allowed to carve it,s own niche , and Honda has done that , so it,s left for Hyundai to show us what they got.
MarchingIn 5pts Realiability my azz, that rep is based on truth, but it is all in the past. The most recalled, most serviced cars right now are Vdubs, Datsun, yotilla and yawnonda.
Vic1211 5pts I don't think it matters of how much they sell because these loyal customers are gonna go buy these geriatric cars no matter what because of their reliability not unless these loyal customers willing to try something else
so? 5pts Guess what? We already know. We're not blind. And it doesn't matter. As long as the car looks modern and has upscale touches people expect today and is an Accord in terms of quality etc through and through it will sell.
TaurusSHO=SlowSnail 5pts And the person who post here with that car name is a brain dead two year old kid. To See why just join the MT forums.
sleeper91tsi 5pts I actually like the 92-96 Camrys....if the 4 cylinder ones just didnt blow headgaskets everytime you look at them.
mk40 5pts the reason Honda does not sell as many Accords as 1990 is the price has steadily increases while incomes have decreased and fewer can afford it. simple as that. Honda has been discounting the Accord lately and sales have shot back up... last month they were about within 1000 units of Camry and that's probably without hardly any fleet sales (as is typical of Honda) compared with Camry, which goes to show Accord still has a great reputation. If people can get a Honda for the same price as others, they'll likely choose the Honda in most cases... it comes down to the pocketbook as usual in this segment.
Suaviloquent 5pts I think the redesigned Accord looks better. This will be another tight race. Oddly enough, my friend who is a Honda Dealership owner drives a Camry to work and just bought a new Civic. Both cars are good and deserve respect. And they make them in USA, so buy'em. With the yen so high the Japs don't make too much profit.
Chris 5pts EVERY car makers sells a good bit more fleet than Honda does. their whole company isn't interested in fleets sales, keeping them under 5%. That doesn't mean Toyota sells a high % of fleet. Toyota sells about 15% as a company in a slow year. 10% in a good year. Camry was around 15% last year, and will be cut in half this year with the redesign. last time Camry was redesigned in 2007, it sold 7% fleet for the year. Toyota sold 4% fleet as a company last month.
Chris 5pts Haters say Toyota sells a lot of fleets, but the facts are Camry tops out at about 15-18% in a slow year. This year, Camry will be in the single digits. Toyota as a company was 4% fleet last month.
bdean 5pts Who care's about what happened in the past? For the past few months sales of the Sonata and Optima have surpassed that of the Camry and the Sonata buyers have a higher median income and FICO score than Camry buyers. Btw, Toyota, Honda and then Datsun made their share of cheap, "rust-tin cans" back in the day.

Tina Turner celebrates her wedding in Switzerland
GENEVA (AP) - Tina Turner is celebrating her wedding to Erwin Bach with a party at her Swiss lakeside estate near Zurich.
Swiss media are reporting that pop stars David Bowie, Sade and talk show impresario Oprah Winfrey are among the more than 120 guests invited to Sunday's Buddhist-inspired event.
Zurich police spokeswoman Esther Surber says authorities are temporarily barring boats on Lake Zurich from nearing Turner's Chateau Algonquin estate in the Kuesnacht municipality to prevent onlookers from causing accidents on the waterway.
About a month ago, the 73-year-old American pop star tied the knot with Bach, a 57-year-old German music executive and her longtime beau, at the town hall in the wealthy community.
Turner's marriage to her former musical partner, the late Ike Turner, ended in divorce.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.

Foundations of Economics: A Beginner's CompanionFoundations of Economics breathes life into the discipline by linking key economic concepts with wider debates and issues. By bringing to light delightful mind-teasers, philosophical questions and intriguing politics in mainstream economics, it promises to enliven an otherwise dry course whilst inspiring students to do well. The book covers all the main economic concepts and addresses in detail three main areas: * consumption and choice * production and markets * government and the State. Each is discussed in terms of what the conventional textbook says, how these ideas developed in historical and philosophical terms and whether or not they make sense. Assumptions about economics as a discipline are challenged, and several pertinent students' anxieties ('Should I be studying economics?') are discussed. |

Friday, 22 Jun 2012 06:12 PM
By Newsmax Wires
President Barack Obama, in a strikingly personal appeal, renewed his call for an overhaul of America's immigration laws before a supportive Latino audience Friday. He portrayed rival Mitt Romney as an obstacle to measures that would give young illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.
"These are all our kids," he declared.
To a standing ovation, Obama spoke of his directive last week that immigrants brought illegally to the United States as children be exempted from deportation and granted work permits if they applied.
Reflecting on his own life as the first African-American president, he said: "When I meet these young people, all throughout communities, I see myself. Who knows what they might achieve? I see my daughters, and my nieces, and my nephews."
"That's the promise that draws so many talented, driven people to these shores. That's the promise that drew my own father here," said Obama, whose father was Kenyan. Obama, like presidents before him, insists on privacy for his minor children, however this is not the first time he has used Malia, 13, and Sasha, 11, to make political points. After Rush Limbaugh attacked Georgetown student Sandra Fluke as a "slut" for calling for health insurance to cover contraception, Obama said, "I thought about Malia and Sasha, and one of the things I want them to do as they get older is to engage in issues they care about." When Florida teen Trayvon Martin was shot dead by a neighborhood watch captain in February, Obama said, "If I had a son he would look like Trayvon."
Obama was speaking Friday to the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, gathered on the sprawling grounds of Disney World, his first speech to a Hispanic group since he announced the new deportation policy. Romney spoke to the group on Thursday, underscoring the importance of the growing Hispanic vote and the influence it could have this election year in swing states from Nevada to Colorado to Florida to Virginia.
Obama's address also illustrated his own challenge in meeting an earlier campaign pledge.
Four years ago, before the same Latino leaders group, Obama vowed to make changing the nation's immigration system and taking steps to legalize millions of illegal immigrants a priority he would "pursue from my very first day."
Though hardly single-minded in their approach to politics, most Hispanics have been voting Democratic in recent elections. Obama has risked losing some support in part because Hispanics have been hard hit by the weak economy. What's more, Latino leaders have also grown frustrated with Obama because he failed to deliver on his 2008 pledge and because his administration was deporting illegal immigrants in record numbers.
On Friday, Obama blamed the lack of broader changes on Republicans who once supported adjustments to immigration law and "have been driven away from the table by a small faction of their own party."
He noted that Romney during the Republican primaries said he would veto legislation, known as the DREAM Act, that would give a path to citizenship to young immigrants who came to the United States illegally as children but have since attended school or served in the military.
"He has promised to veto the DREAM Act and we should take him at his word," he said,
It was lack of action on the DREAM Act — the Development, Relief and Education of Alien Minors Act — that led him to take the administrative steps he did last week to defer deportation for some young illegal immigrants and give them work permits instead, he said.
"It falls short of where we need to be, a path to citizenship," he said. "It's not a permanent fix. It's a temporary measure that lets us focus our resources wisely while offering some justice to these young people."
The directive could benefit anywhere between 800,000 to 1.4 million immigrants. On Friday, the Department of Homeland Security said it has found 823 cases in the backlog of deportation cases that will qualify for closure under Obama's new rule, making them eligible for work permits. The department said it expects to identify thousands more cases in the coming weeks.
Romney on Thursday assailed Obama's action as merely a "stopgap measure" in his own speech to the association, backing off the tough anti-illegal immigration rhetoric of the Republican primaries. He promised to address illegal immigration "in a civil but resolute manner."
Obama spoke about two hours after Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who has been promoting a plan that would have dealt with young illegal immigrants in a similar fashion to what Obama accomplished administratively.
Rubio, a possible running mate for Romney, said the issue had been politicized and neither side wanted to solve it because it was a more powerful political tool if left to fester.
"I was accused of supporting apartheid," Rubio said. "I was accused of supporting a DREAM Act without a dream. Of course, a few months later the president takes a similar idea and implements it through executive action and now it's the greatest idea in the world."
Rubio said, "This issue is all about politics to some people. Not just Democrats, Republicans." Romney has said he was studying Rubio's proposal but has not endorsed it.
Obama tailored his usual economic message to Hispanic voters, saying he would build up-middle class opportunity for Latinos while Romney would hurt it with "top-down economics" favoring the rich.
Romney's camp responded Friday by issuing statements from a number of prominent Hispanic leaders who said Obama's economic policies would hurt Hispanic businesses. In one typical reaction, Republican Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida said Obama was changing the subject to avoid having to discuss the economy.
"The Hispanic community values entrepreneurship and family-owned businesses, and we deserve a leader in Washington who is dedicated to creating an environment where our values, our goals and our dreams of prosperity can become reality," he said.
