Burberry Prorsum Fall 2012
>> Christopher Bailey's Burberry girl goes on a little jaunt to the English countryside for Fall 2012. While the collection may have been heavy on classic menswear fabrics — herringbone, tweeds — and utilitarian detailing, this collection was 100 percent femme. Skirts were adorned with ruffles or bows, waists were nipped in, and a peplum or flare accentuated nearly every hip. "I like taking familiar elements — the field jacket, the quilted jacket, the trench — and respecting them but making them modern," Bailey explained of his Downton Abbey-meets-downtown mix.

'It seems there's a need to get even'
As usual in sports, when something ugly happens, the shouting eventually dies down, the pointing fingers are put away and the media turns its attention to the next big thing.
That would certainly appear to be the case regarding the Todd Bertuzzi-Steve Moore incident. What had quickly risen to the level of an international debate, the result of the well-known Bertuzzi sucker-punching Moore and bull-riding him into the ice where he suffered two broken vertebrae in his neck, has given way to the more mundane things that are supposedly not part of the NHL's game.
Things like St. Louis' Chris Pronger kicking and cutting Calgary's Ville Nieminen on Sunday night (a one-game suspension) and like Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff on Monday charging Toronto forward Joe Nieuwendyk with being "gutless" for a caught-on-tape head slam that left a prone and helmet-less Chris Drury with a concussion (no suspension).
But at some point this matter will -- actually must -- pass from the hands of crime investigators, judges and lawyers and back to the administrators of the game itself.
When it does, Ken Dryden is asking that hockey have a plan. And that is no small thing.
Dryden is not only a vice chairman with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment in Toronto, but also a lawyer, a social commentator, a former NHL goaltender, a hockey administrator, a former Youth Commissioner for the Province of Ontario, a prolific author and a man who moves comfortably and ably on both sides of the US-Canadian border.
While he is a Canadian by birth, Dryden is also a graduate of Cornell University (the same upstate New York school that produced NHL commissioner Gary Bettman). He understands both the physical border that separates Canada and the Unites States and the cultural one that often confuses people on either side. Dryden is also a hero in Canada for his exploits in goal with the Montreal Canadiens, but he's almost as well known in the U.S. for his work as a TV analyst (he was on the broadcast of the "Miracle on Ice" game at the 1980 Olympics at Lake Placid) and his definitive book about hockey in Canada, "The Game."
With that kind of background, Dryden brings a perspective about both the business and the emotion of hockey that is too often lost both within the game and especially on the American public.
And Dryden is calling for change.
Though he declined to be interviewed for this column (a team spokesman said he was preparing an in-depth response about the state of hockey Wednesday and would bring it forth at an appropriate time), Dryden may have already lit a fuse that could very well spark some controversy and, perhaps, bring forth change.
In a measured yet passionate response to the criticism leveled at the game from points all over the globe, Dryden took to the airwaves of the Canadian Broadcasting Company recently and sketched out some thoughts that should cause hockey to at least look at itself in a way other than the usual state of denial. He offered a well-reasoned explanation of a game in trouble, one in which he sees players being in danger for their health, well being and perhaps even their very lives.
Most importantly, he did not sugarcoat it.
"I think, at the very least, what we need to do is take a good, big look at the whole of the game," he said.
"I think that in the NHL we've done a lousy job in terms of approaching things in this sort of a way. We think the only issue is the CBA (the soon-to-expire collective bargaining agreement between the players association and the league), but there is a much bigger issue than that and that has to do with the nature of the game, and surely we have a responsibility to the game and not just the way it's played at the NHL level."
Dryden said his lasting impression of the Bertuzzi was both the ferocity of the attack and, ultimately, the unfairness of it.
"I guess what was most lasting to me is the image of the moment," he said. "Really, it's almost like someone being hunted down, and I thought how uncomfortable an image that was. You could see Steve Moore, who wasn't expecting anything to happen and who had no reason to expect anything to happen, and you could see Todd Bertuzzi coming in from behind. & It was a little like a National Geographic Special, like watching the lion and the antelope and how unfair it was & the position that Steve Moore was in and that he had absolutely no idea what was going to happen next."
Dryden has some experience in these matters. He once headed a panel and authored a report regarding a similar incident where players attacked an on-ice official in a minor-level hockey game.
In the report Dryden made mention of what he called a "stupid point" and how four people in that incident reached one and the result was hideous violence that few people saw coming.
"I think we've all got one (a stupid point)," he said, "and we all reach it lots of times, and I think part of the question is, 'What things end up generating a stupid point a little bit sooner?' I think part of it is that kind of mentality, the understanding that we have of getting even. We all feel it at times and we all want to do it, but the question is how do we do it?
"Most of the time, we do it in pretty constructive ways. The way we always hear about it as kids and we did it as kids is we get even on the scoreboard. We did it in that way, but we've changed what 'get even' means now and it often isn't even getting even yourself. We've got people who are pretty much expert at getting even and we've got them on each team. And when something happens, then it becomes their job to go out and 'get even' and even when it's kind of manufactured, a little bit unreal. It used to be when something was a good hit, a clean hit or an accidental hit that it was, well, mostly good for you. Yeah, you would find a way of getting even in a certain sort of way, but there was a little bit of respect for the fact that in fact you got the upper hand at that particular moment. Now whether it's accidental or something happened in the past or whatever it is, there is a need to get even.
" | What I'm afraid of is with the way the game is going in this way, that it makes it a little more disconnected with the public mood, with the way we see ourselves as Canadians, and we've always seen ourselves as mirrored pretty well in hockey. ... But what we're asking now of those players in terms of the pace, the size, the 82 games, the four rounds of playoffs and all the rest is requiring a freakish load in regards to pain threshold, and that's a disconnection and that's a real problem. " | |
— Ken Dryden |
"Now it seems there's a need to get even in regards to a sense of loss of face if you've been hit in some hard way & a sense of humiliation, of embarrassment. And, of course, then the emotions escalate and it turns into something that is resentment, revenge, and it becomes motivation and it becomes easy to reach that 'stupid point.' "
Dryden argues that there is a sense of frontier justice in today's world, and that it's a part of what we see happening in sport and that it disturbs us.
"That's part of it," he said in referring to some elements of life, especially the revenge elements, being mirrored in games.
"Part of what disturbs us is we don't like to see things mirrored back on us, especially in something like sport. Sports is something that we like to think of as separate.
"There were parts of the '70s (when Dryden played) that were awful where in fact fighting became an instrument of intimidation, an instrument of winning, but I think in general it's a more dangerous game now and not because of the fighting.
"I don't happen to like fighting. I think it's stupid, but I don't think it's particularly dangerous, but there are a lot of things that do happen on the ice that are dangerous. A lot of things have happened in 10 years, 20 years or 40 and 50 years and you say, 'don't change the game,' that this is a part of the tradition of the game, but one of the things is the size of the players.
"In 1952, the average NHL player was 5-10 3/4 and 175 pounds, Today that same player is 6-1, 204, not that much taller but 29 pounds heavier and not just 29 pounds heavier, but the players in 1952 were on the ice for two minutes at a time or more, and they were playing at a coasting pace. Today they are out there for 40 seconds, and they are playing at a sprinting pace. One thing I remember about high school physics is that F (force) is equal to MA (mass x acceleration), and you've got the mass of 29 pounds more and you have the acceleration that is greater, and that force is going to be a whole lot greater in terms of those collisions. We've got a whole lot of more injuries than we used to have, more dangerous injuries, and it's not just bad luck, but we've seen it treated as if it's bad luck.
"Equipment helps to some extent, but it also makes us feel more invulnerable."
Dryden said that NHL people are starting to figure that injuries are just a basic fact of life in the game, but he argues that they don't have to be quite such a fact of life.
"What I'm afraid of is with the way the game is going in this way, that it makes it a little more disconnected with the public mood, with the way we see ourselves as Canadians, and we've always seen ourselves as mirrored pretty well in hockey. One of the things that hockey always had going for it is that where in football and basketball it took a freakish size in order to play those kinds of games -- and that's why we couldn't see ourselves in those games -- we could always see ourselves in hockey.
"But it may be that what we're asking now of those players in terms of the pace, the size, the 82 games, the four rounds of playoffs and all the rest is requiring a freakish load in regards to pain threshold, and that's a disconnection and that's a real problem."
That is one of several real problems.
If you accept the premise that what happened in "the Bertuzzi incident" is not an isolated incident, Dryden has an irrefutable point -- there is a danger in the game, a potentially lethal danger.
There may be people who don't want to hear it. Worse, there may be people who don't want to deal with it, but if hockey is to ever better itself, ever to become the game that those of us who love it have always hoped and dreamed it should be, then voices like Dryden's must be heard.
The voice of change is out there. The question now is: Is anyone willing to listen?

I still don't see what links Rodia to being the man being led
out of the woods. The police scanner says "the party in front of me" then spells out Rodia after a cop apparently calls in the Honda license plate. The voice saying "the party in front of me" is a different voice than the one calling in the plate, like the dispatcher saying "the party" he is looking at on his computer screen is Rodia, spelling it out.
One of the men chased into the woods was led back and sat in a police car, this is the guy who kept saying "I didn't do it." The other I don't know. How exactly are you concluding that Rodia is one of the men in the woods? The cops on the scanner do not refer to the chase.
This is stupid. Someone has to call the police department public affairs and ask these questions as members of the public. These scanner audios will only get us so far.

Got it . I had to do that . . . bought a second one, made it a midwing and applied an aileron mechanics. The rod system took me three approaches. Thanks to a long afternoon, I could find a solution. The servos are weak, forget any shrink tube hinging, only pure mechanics, with very (!) few friction will work. Tomorrow I will get this bird in the air.
The deflections of the tapes (see vid!) show it went well - will this baby roll ? See the mechanics work: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...71#post7965193 Bye bye |

Almost done..
To recapitulate: started with the fuselage+receiver block+pushrod+motor combo they offer in Europe.
Swapped the motor for a blue SS in a gearbox with MI 5030S carbon prop. Made new wings, mid-mounted with ailerons, coupled to the rudder. Vids: http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...29#post7971486 Edit: AUW is 20 g, on the mark. It flies well, rolls easily but heads to the ground when inverted due to the wing undercamber. Even though the power to weight ratio is nomillay more than 1:1 the Purple SS drains the battery really fast so it can hover only for a few seconds at the time. Ghostmechanic kindly sent me a Red SS but I haven't gotten round to installing it. |

Spitfire based on Minium gear - profile type approach
Ok Michael I think you steer this thread that its condensed. Beside the defective servo some inspiration for an aileron based derivative, here the spitty. Cobra Command asked me for - here we are . The mechnism works very fine in this geometry. Sorry for the lazy elevator construction (through rudder), I wanted to be as light as possible. If my brick would be ok, it would (!) work. This construction comes with 35cm span and the whole gear etc. (I weighed all together) with nice 16 gr. If finished, I would cover the motor hood area with selitac (1mm) - giving a better look. Hope to inspire you all
I wait til I can get it in the air with a repaired or new brick. I have the feeling it will fly fine, soaring with some penny on the nose was awesome. CU EDIT: The reason for the worn out servo is that the wormdrive is made from hard steel and the servo slider (holding the rod heads) just from plastics. Under full mechanic resistance you hear a "sirrrr" with standing slider. This is the milling out of the sliders tap hole. Optical examination showed that the tap hole was milled out eliptically. Ok - never ever (!) allow full blocking the servo, not even for fractions of seconds. With every block + sirr the countdown for the servos life runs. Inside the servo under the slider a forklike contact slider from steel slides over the PCB - must be a control contact for positioning/locating the status. Ciao brick ImagesView all Images in thread

The Maxium
Howdy, friends,
I've been reluctant to say much about this model. I was building it to be published in RCMW, so I wanted to give John Worth "the scoop".. But now that it's out there... here it is.. I wanted one so bad that I paid the cost to get one shipped to the US from Japan. I got it flying, then took it apart, and built another model. The result was a model with a 24 inch wing span and a much lower wing loading. She flies nice and slow and is a bunch of fun to fly in the street on calm evenings. Drawings and more info on the Maxium can be found at RCMW: http://www.cloud9rc.com/ You'll need a subscription, but it's worth it. (No pun intended...) --del |

Turning big data strategy into reality
I have written a number of blogs about big data recently, and because of my background in strategy and IT service management these have focused on business-facing value creation. If you haven't seen these then you might like to have a look at:
- Creating business value with big data
- Big data – should you start with applications or infrastructure?
After you have created a high level strategy and decided how big data could help you create value for your customers, you will need to think about your next steps. How are you going to define a technology architecture and then design and build the big data solution that you need?
One thing that I love about working for HP is the enormous breadth of products and services that enables us to address our customers' issues, and big data is no exception. At HP Discover 2013, HP has just announced a number of services that will help you define, design and build your big data solution.
- HP Big Data Architecture Strategy Services. We can help you develop an integrated IT strategy to capture, consolidate and manage the business-aligned information that keeps IT relevant. The new HP Big Data Infrastructure Transformation Experience Workshop joins our newly updated HP Roadmap Service for Hadoop to bring you powerful tools to build your big data vision.
- HP Big Data System Infrastructure Services. With these new offerings, HP can help your organization navigate the complexities of Hadoop design and implementation by constructing a detailed plan that considers your deployment goals, and supports enterprise growth. The three services in this group are: HP Enterprise Design for Hadoop, HP Reference Architecture Implementation for Hadoop, and HP Implementation Service for Hadoop.
- HP Big Data Protection Services. Our new Big Data Protection and Compliance Analysis helps you identify potential risks and achieve compliance with government and industry data security requirements.
Read how HP Big Data Infrastructure Consulting can help your organization get ready for Big Data (pdf download).
Watch this short webcast to learn why preparing your infrastructure for big data is critical.

Thanks for pulling the "big" topic of Big Data together into a logical context. I would anticipate the following questions as part of the Big Data journey:
- Does the technical architecture really need to be addressed if you have software that traverses the enterprise? If it does need to be addressed, why is that important?
- What about the data architecture - will that need to be addressed?
- What about cloud?
- How do you plan for Big Data services - is capacity and availability management a part of that planning?
- Security is one of my biggest concerns with Big Data - what are others doing in this area?
- What additional risks do I need to address as it relates to security? In particular, data segmenting.
- What new functionality in Big Data software solutions are or will be key in the future?
It is a big topic with big questions. I hope by asking we will start some threads on these various topics...

I absolutely agree that governance is essential for big data projects, and I that there is a need for a wide debate in society about the acceptable limits of how our personal data can be used.
Because I live in Europe I have a different cultural background about data privacy and personal information to the one that has prevailed in the USA, but I see increasing calls from both sides of the Atlantic for an informed debate on what is acceptable. This debate will have to recognize that we want free services provided by organizations like Google, and that they will need to derive revenue from us in some way.

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 7th to 11th level characters (Tiers: 7–8 and 10–11).
When a retired Pathfinder's nephew goes missing after allegedly discovered the fabled city of Rachikan of the ancient Jistka Imperium, he turns to the Society for help. Now you've been sent to the coast of devil-tainted Cheliax to uncover the missing nephew's whereabouts and to, quite possibly, uncover one of the most sought-after legendary cities on Golarion. But you have to move quick! The Aspis Consortium is rumored to be racing to the site ahead of you and their involvement could spell disaster for the Pathfinder Society.
Written by Larry Wilhelm
This scenario is designed for play in Pathfinder Society Organized Play, but can easily be adapted for use with any world. This scenario is compliant with the Open Game License (OGL) and is suitable for use with the 3.5 edition of the world's most popular fantasy roleplaying game.

I'm a fan of most of the Rachikan scenarios, and this is no exception, although this one will certainly push a party to it's furthest limits of ability. The encounters in here are cinematic, but deviously challenging, and left my table swearing at their luck, but cheering when they overcame. This scenario is a good challenge for any party that is known for enjoying extreme difficulty.
I typically recommend that newer GMs should not run 7-11 tier scenarios, and this is why. There is a lot of opportunity here for mistakes to lead to butchered players.
This adventure features a lot of good PFS flavor and a fun mine cart chase. However, lack of guidance from the author can lead some GMs to run all of the encounters as being one long chase scene without a chance to heal in between, which makes this adventure very deadly. The first encounter can also be very swingy depending on how the party and GM hand it as it features a particularly broken creature with a particularly broken situation. Player should be well prepared if they want to survive this one. I have run this once, played it once and watched another table play it once. In all three tables there was at least one death and 2 tables failed the mission.
No other scenario has taught me the lessons of being prepared as this one did.
In the deadliest encounter in this scenario, our whole 6-person party forgot crucial equipment that would have changed the course of the encounter and instead we only managed to reach and absolutely grueling and unlikely stalemate.
Most reviewers have adequately described this scenario. It has to be said that my rating is based on some great GMing once again, and for GMs with less skill, there could be some fairly serious stumbling blocks along the way.
Later the scenario picks back up in difficulty again, and you could find yourself either in a fairly standard battle or the middle of an apocalypse from a source, or sources, that you'd least expect.
Overall, despite the deathtrap experience I had, I had a good time playing this and I think it was largely due to carefully crafted GMing overcoming the scenario's downfalls, and a little bit of luck from the dice.
There are a lot of variables in this scenario in terms of both difficulty and atmosphere. For any GMs, I'd strongly advise a lot of preparation for this scenario to ensure an enjoyable game - more than usual.
One last mention - it's an excellent precursor to playing Fury of the Fiend soon afterwards, which is where the real meat of this series lies (until Fate of the Fiend is released, at least).
As we are drawing near to retirement our group tries quite a few tier 7-11and it made me pick up Fingerprints of the Fiend, mostly because I like series and wanted to bring back the party to Fury of the Fiend, maybe even to a third part. Society play are often "go there do that" never to return, and one of the things preached in role-play games over the years are familiarity - always let the players experience the same locate twice so they can see the world around them is alive. The Inn have maybe been taken over by the daughter or something similar, with that in mind I selected the "of the Fiend" series. This being a season 0 scenario means there could/would be some adjustment to make it interesting for a party to fit the current rules, but being ready for that I did not hesitate.
The party I play with are highly optimized so combat should not be an issue in general but focusing on the environment and flavor of the text would be a must. And with this part Fingerprints did not let us down. Overall the scenario is made very descriptive, with settings that could unfold in many ways.
Plan with the encounter was let the party climb the rope and approximately half way the Erinyes would arrive, swooping down bows in hand. The Erinyes have a minor illusion spell which I would use to burn the rope further above. This would panic the party as they look down upon a 100ft drop or so. But as it is in Pathfinder Society access to magical items are way too easy so almost all had some form of flight and the rest was helped via Dimension door from the travel domain'ed cleric. Trap missed but super nice setting for it. One of the players mentioned a rope ladder instead would have been more believable. Erinyes in midair were interesting however not overpowered for our group (mind you highly optimized) and they went down fairly easy.
Overall I loved this start to the adventure - it was different from what we have experienced in the past and did have a nice challenge to it. Likewise it did NOT tell too much about what was to come.
This part worked well because of the surprise otherwise it's just another dull "I remove the guards" encounter. But as mentioned it does not have to be like that. The GM has free hands in the descriptions to make it a cool looking battle scene.
Overall we all seemed to like the scenario, it had a good feel to it, but it also needed some work. What I did not like were the faction missions. They were just boring. And I did not really feel they related much to the Jistka feeling. My idea with the faction missions would be to make them flavor based. Why would the ruby prince ever consider the jistka important granted a codex about golemworks is interesting but it would be much more interesting to have to locate some stone tablets as a side quest rather than just picking up the quest a kill? Faction Quests should get the players to "move around" in the scenario getting the experience and feel of the place.
I of course have also read the other reviews and they speak about lack of maps and too much preparation. While these things are true one should keep in mind that this is a season 0 scenario used for me in season 3. Players are MUCH stronger now, have more possibilities and know the rules much better. This of course will reflect on the feel of the game. Rating for me would be : Flavor 5 stars, Faction 1star, combat ranging from 1 (end-boss) to 3 (Erinyes), work load expected so no biggy 3 stars for what comes with the pages, Maps for encounter Erinyes + mine cart sadly none 1 star, but into the ruin I printed them out and used them at a 1" square size : 3 stars for the factory 4 for the city. Put all that together leaves me with around 3 stars!
I really wanted to play some Cheliaxian adventures and as such despite the terrible reviews of this scenario, I decided to give the Fingerprints of the Fiend a try. Although the mobs need a bit of revision, I've included my tips in the spoilers and think that modified, this can be a fun scenario to play - at least that's the feedback I got from my players. I also ran the chase (despite my general disdain towards these encounters) and surprisingly, it went fairly smoothly. Considering we then played the Fury of the Fiend a few days later, I'm really glad that I ran this despite the bad reviews because it really helped provide background and insight into Fury of the Fiend. So I'd probably suggest to anyone considering this scenario to also pick up Fury of the Fiend to go along with this one and vice versa.
I ran this scenario at subtier 10-11 and as such am only able to provide tips accordingly but think that a DM running at subtier 7-8 can probably find something relatively easy/suitable to replace. In the grand scheme of things, only really the final encounter needs any "major" modification. So it's not really too much that needs to be changed - but of course, I consider myself a very experienced DM in 3.0, 3.5 and PFS so this might not be the case for everybody. I probably spent about 12 hours prepping this scenario but think it can be done with the tips below in about 4 hours - depending of course, how much you enjoy prepping as you can always spend more time on it!
Act 2 - excavation site: I replaced the main boss Zahur Karn with a Bone Devil (same CR 9) and the guards with the pre-generated Fighter level 1 stats (Valeros). For this scenario, I drew a campfire in the center of the map surrounded by 7 large tents and had the PCs approach from one edge of the map - very simple. The strategy was basic battlefield control which worked very well - Zahur would use a combination of stealth/invisibility and drop "igloos" (wall of ice cast in a hemisphere orientation making them large enough to not allow a reflex save) on PCs until there were only one or two untrapped PCs and then he would engage them. The guards were spread out (one behind each tent) to provide distractions for the PCs until Zahur had enough igloos to significantly hinder the PCs.
Act 3 - chase on the rails: before I ran this for my players, I asked them if they wanted to try the "Indiana Jones roller-coaster ride encounter" and they were open to it. Surprisingly, they enjoyed it a lot more than traditional board-game chase scenes. The feedback I got was that since they didn't "see" the DCs of each square of the chase, they felt they had a chance to make a difference rather than just knowing that they'd fail at different points. For the mobs upgrade, I replaced Talia's stats with Dorianna Ouidda (also a Bard 7 and same CR 6 from scenario 2-24 Shadow's last stand part 2) and replaced her elite guards with the pre-generated Fighter level 4 stats (Valeros). Then just switch Ouidda's spells for Talia's spells and you're set - although I gave Talia Eagle's splendor before combat to make her DCs more challenging. I also allowed my PCs to rest after this encounter since I stacked the final two encounters within a minute of each other.
Act 4 - morlocks and stone golem: uninteresting combat where you just pull the mobs from the Bestiary. No changes were necessary for this encounter and they provide a map for it so it's pretty simple to run. I connected the road from this encounter into the next one so that there was a little more "flow".
Act 5 - temple: this is probably the hardest encounter to modify coz I couldn't find an easy replacement for Haliduras Karn (12th level cleric of Asmodeus). Since I read a lot of criticism from other reviews about his silent spell strategy, I ended up rebuilding his spells with quickened spells. I timed this encounter to occur immediately after the last one - Haliduras spends almost a minute casting preparatory spells before engaging the PCs: which is consistent with the scenario. Instead of the ranger/rogues (which would have required quite a bit of effort to rebuild), try using 3 greater shadows which should be effective doorstops against PCs who wish to charge up against Haliduras.

The National Football League, known for its macho swagger, has no openly gay players, although a small number have come out of the closet after retiring. But tolerance of sexual orientation has entered the Super Bowl hype as two players for the opposing teams have taken contrasting positions, Mike Biggz writes.
Human Rights
When Truth Tried to Stop War
Exclusive: The year 2013 is the one-decade anniversary of the U.S. political/media system's failure to stop a criminal President from launching a war of aggression on Iraq. It was a shameful time when only a few brave individuals, like the U.K.'s Katharine Gun, did the right thing, ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern reports.
How Congress Undermined 9/11 Cases
Congressional "tough-guy-ism" – blocking President Obama's plan to shutter the Guantanamo Bay prison and insisting on military tribunals for 9/11 terrorism suspects – is making the prosecutions harder than if they had been transferred to civilian courts, an irony addressed by ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
The Choice of Guns Over Butter
The American political system continues to ignore President Eisenhower's dour warning about the Military-Industrial Complex and embrace President Reagan's happy "We're No. 1" illusions. The long-term consequences of this choice have been devastating to most U.S. citizens and to the world, writes Gary G. Kohls.
Defending Guns, Ignoring 'Due Process'
Millions of Americans are almost literally up in arms over the prospect of a few commonsense restrictions on "gun rights," but there has been no similar resistance to far more sweeping, post-9/11 encroachments on fundamental constitutional rights relating to due process under the law, notes Lawrence Davidson.
Return of 'Three-Fifths' of a Person
Exclusive: Stung by back-to-back defeats to Barack Obama, the Republican Party is undertaking a national strategy to devalue the votes of blacks and other minorities, a partial revival of the infamous clause in the U.S. Constitution rating African-American slaves as "Three-Fifths" of a person, says Robert Parry.
Denying Palestinians a Voice
Israel's elections rebuffed the hard-right politics of recent years, but the new government is still unlikely to stop Jewish settlers from seizing Palestinian land or to recognize equality for Arabs, many of whom have no say in the Israeli occupation that constrains their lives, reports Dennis J. Bernstein.
Overcoming the Great Dismal
The core challenge facing today's U.S. political process is whether the daunting threats to the planet and its people can be addressed, responsibly and cooperatively. Another hope is that in building these solutions, America can break loose from the chains of soulless mediocrity, as Phil Rockstroh explains.
Egypt's Pluralist Politics
Though U.S. observers tend to view Egypt's politics through a secular-vs.-Islamist lens, a clearer way of seeing what's happening in that important Arab country is to examine other issues, like the economy, that are motivating Egyptians, writes ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
Doubting Obama's Words on Diplomacy
In his two Inaugural Addresses, President Obama has called for diplomacy to replace military bluster, but his failure to rein in U.S. imperial impulses during his first term has made the world dubious of his rhetoric as he enters his second, write Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett at GoingToTehran.com.

"Chance is perhaps the pseudonym of God when he does not wish to sign his work."

Unlike humans, we have the different kind of power. We can push limits up no matter how high it can get, we can feel love and hate, we can even learn and explore. But to already know it all must be so damn boring. Gods will never understand us, will never understand how lucky we are."
J C A Rowe
"I am a NEW YORKER which means i work full time and live my life part time"

"Life is a gift from god so when you complain think off the things you have and the food and water you have and don't say you hate your life god can change things in seconds."
Ronnie Haik
"By all means enjoy life but keep the prayers for those who approach God as we live."
"If you dont get what you want,you wont want what you get."
Kenneth Elliott Hudson
"An original loving another original. Fabulous, Gods work at it's finest."

Hotel and food are very good, our room with balcony was perfect, but Griesbach itselve isn't interesting for tourists (many houses and other hotels are empty) and has only one other opportunity for eating or having a drink.
