It was hard to foresee in 1996 what a stampede Toyota would trigger as it launched in the U.S. the $15,000 RAV4 - and Honda the philosophically similar CR-V later that year.
The car-based vehicles appealed to people who wanted something SUVish but less daunting - with a tall seating position, styling that was neither car nor a truck, trimmer and more fuel efficient than the truck-based SUVs that dominated then.
That was before Detroit makers could lay legitimate claim to matching the Japanese brands in quality and reliability, so RAV4 and CR-V were no-brainers for many shoppers.
Nowadays, Honda's CR-V and Ford's Escape are battling for the title of best-selling SUV in the U.S. Escape's ahead for the first quarter.
RAV4's a ways down the list, finding five or six buyers for every 10 CR-V or Escape buyers.
So after a seven-year run, the third-generation RAV4 exits and the updated, fourth-generation 2013 RAV4 makes it debut.
Because it uses a chassis and engine similar to its predecessor, it's hard to call it "all new," which is the industry's favorite description. But it's significantly different.
On sale since late January, the new RAV4 is under-performing the overall new vehicle market. RAV4 sales are up 3.9% and new vehicle sales are up 6.4%, Autodata says. It'll take another couple of months to sense how strong a seller the new RAV really is.
Chassis dimensions and overall size are similar to the outgoing model. But a V-6 or third-row seating no longer are offered. And the carryover four-cylinder engine loses three horsepower to its predecessor, an invisible difference to the driver.
Test Drive's response is lukewarm after time behind the wheel in a top-end RAV4 Limited model with all-wheel drive. It's a yes-but vehicle.
For instance, yes, it has slightly more cargo room, but it gives up passenger space, especially headroom, legroom, second-row hip room.
The "yes" items first:
You might like the Toyota because it has a tighter turning circle than rivals Honda CR-V or Ford Escape. That tight-turn ability really makes your life easier in parking garages or maneuvering through jams caused by the more selfish motorists in drop-off lines at school or the train station. It's a quality-of-driving-life issue that captures the attention of too few automakers. Loud applause for Toyota's attentiveness.
Oddly enough for a mainstream model from a somewhat unsporty brand, you might enjoy RAV4 because its four-cylinder gasoline engine likes the spurs. Nail the gas, use the manual-shift mode of the automatic transmission and you're actually having fun. Solid roar, quick gear changes, rapid-feeling progress. Nice.
The upgraded interior is another attraction. The previous model was down at the heels inside. The high-end Limited test vehicle was anything but, with its two-tone leather and nice-touch surfaces.
Tailgate now opens upward, the conventional way, instead of swinging sideways. Seems a better setup for most people most of the time. It can open upward now because it's no longer supporting a gate-mounted spare tire. Instead, there's a mini-spare tucked under the cargo floor.
The generally smooth, quiet way the RAV4 goes down the highway is alluring. Quiet enough on the highway that it begs for a long road trip.
The optional all-wheel drive ($1,400) anticipates when it'll be needed - hard acceleration, corners - instead of waiting for the front wheels to slip before going to work. It balances the cornering feel and eliminates the nose-heavy personality the vehicle otherwise would have.
And now the "but" section:
The engine that's appealing under hard throttle drones annoyingly when driven easily, and the shifts sometimes are sloppy.
The generally refined chassis bounds and hops over wrinkled and oft-patched asphalt.
The infotainment system is a snob. It seemed to make fast friends with Test Drive's oh-so-hip Windows phone. But it didn't remember the phone next time in the vehicle. You know the type, all smiles and enthusiasm at the party, but later you get the, "Sorry, who were you again?"
No excuse, because the RAV4 system would list the Windows phone as the connected, default device. But without a redo electronic nudge from the phone's Bluetooth link, it actually had no connection. A colleague with an iPhone reported no problems at all, though.
Styling, while not unpleasant, doesn't stand out. You could be hard-pressed to find your new RAV at the mall parking lot, without using the remote key fob to flash the lights. Especially if the vehicle is silver or gray, as so many seem to be nowadays.
The RAV's lack of eye-candy quotient might be a blessing. When Japanese brands attempt to deliver high style, it's sometimes just weird.
The latest RAV4 is an upgrade vs. the one it replaces. It is an easy purchase to defend. But it's not one that generates passion or even serious enthusiasm.
What? The latest remake of vehicle that pioneered small, crossover SUVs in 1996. Four-door, compact SUV available with front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD). Five-passenger only; optional third-row seat discontinued.
When? On sale since January.
Where? Made in Canada.
How much? FWD models' base prices including $845 shipping: LE, $24,145; XLE, $25,135; Limited, $27,855. AWD is $1,400 more. Limited AWD test vehicle with navigation, high-end infotainment suite, blind-spot monitor: $31,415.
What makes it go? 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine rated 176 horsepower at 6,000 rpm, 172 pounds-feet of torque at 4,100 rpm, six-speed automatic transmission. The V-6 has been discontinued.
How big? Slightly bigger than Honda CR-V or Ford Escape, and a little smaller than Hyundai Santa Fe Sport. RAV4 is 179.9 inches long, 72.6 in. wide, 65.4 in. tall (67.1 in. with roof rails), on a 104.7-in. wheelbase. Weighs 3,435 to 3,600 lbs. Rated to carry 900 lbs. of people, cargo accessories. Tows 1,500 lbs.
Passenger space, 101.9 cubic feet (100.7 cu. ft. with sunroof). Cargo space: 38.4 cu. ft. behind second row, 73.4 cu. ft. when second row is folded.
Turning circle diameter, 34.7 ft. (36.7 ft. with optional 18-in. wheels).
How thirsty? FWD rated 24 miles per gallon in the city, 31 mpg on the highway, 26 mpg in combined city/highway. AWD: 22/29/25. Trip computer in AWD test car registered 22.4 mpg (4.46 gal. per 100 mi.) in suburban driving.
Burns regular, holds 15.9 gal.
Overall: Generally refined chassis (but choppy ride on some surfaces), roomy interior, so-so drivetrain, undistinguished styling.

"Wake in Fright" is a film made in Australia in 1971 and almost lost forever. It's not dated. It is powerful, genuinely shocking and rather amazing. It comes billed as a "horror film" and contains a great deal of horror, but all of the horror is human and brutally realistic.
Screened at the Toronto Film Festival in 2009, picked up three years later by Drafthouse, it arrives still powerful and crushing. It has what would have been an all-star cast when it was released, and still is now for those who know their actors: Donald Pleasence, Jack Thompson and Gary Bond.
The story involves a young schoolteacher in the middle of the desolate wilderness of the Outback. The opening overhead shot shows a shabby building beside a railroad track, the camera pans 360 degrees and finds only the distant horizon, and then returns to find a second building on the other side of the tracks. One building is the school. The other is the hotel. To get to either, people must have to travel a great distance.
It is the end of the school year. The teacher (Gary Bond) takes the train to a town where he plans to get a flight to Sydney. He loses his money gambling and is swept up in the vortex of a group of hard-drinking, hard-living, crude, vicious men. His "vacation" descends into drunkenness, brutality, rape and a gruesome moonlight hunt where they massacre kangaroos.
This was the second feature by the Canadian-born director Ted Kotcheff ("The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz"). His later successes include "North Dallas Forty," "First Blood" and "Fun With Dick and Jane."
This early film was received with hostility in Australia, flopped at the box office there, did well overseas, was an official entry at Cannes and then seemed to disappear. It became known as "Australia's great lost film." Its editor, Anthony Buckley, began a search for it and found one surviving print just as it was scheduled to be destroyed. It has been restored by the Australian Film Archive and is available on DVD.
According to Australian critics, the film was originally reviled because it painted such a horrifying portrait of life in the isolation of the Outback — life making our own Old West look positively civilized. "Deliverance," made a year later in 1972, is mild by comparison.
Kotcheff's film is raw and uncompromised, well-acted, brilliantly photographed and edited. Animals were certainly "harmed." Footage of an actual kangaroo hunt was seamlessly edited in by Buckley, and a "producer's note" says this documentary footage was included with "the participation" of animal rights' organizations, whatever that means. It's rare to find a film that goes for broke and says to hell with the consequences.

REAL DMZ PROJECT 2013 : From the North
August 19, 2013
by Chien-Chi Chang
View profile
This exhibition, on the second and third floors of the Artsonje Center, investigates not only the ways in which the North is viewed from outside, but examines the relevant relationships that exist between the South and the North. It suggests ways in which we might rethink our relationship with North Korea, a place that is virtually impossible to visit, and which sometimes feels like an entirely foreign country, though it nevertheless remains an inextricably linked aspect of Korea's national identity.

About this font family
Claude Garamond began as an apprentice to a Paris printer in the early 1500s. Later he was one of the first to specialize in designing and casting type at a time when it was most common for those functions to be melded with that of printer and publisher. His designs became standards in 16th century Europe and have inspired countless versions over the centuries.
As is his practice, Günter Gerhard Lange studied the original Garamond prints extensively before adapting his own interpretation, released by Berthold in 1972. More…

Well... its been a long trip, but I'm very happy to say that I've completed what I've termed my "SuperSub" build for a good friend up in New York. The finished project looks great and while I still have a few small things to address, it is basically in its final display form. This is a display model only.
This has been a huge learning experience for me and I was forced to engineer a ton of features that I had no idea how to tackle when I first started. Did they turn out perfectly? Well.. no, not all of them. But I am happy with the overall effect of everything, and it will be a great display piece for its new owner.
A couple of the features that I built into the model did not pan out as I'd hoped. Specifically, the breathers underwent some shipping damage when I moved houses this summer. The break occured internally, and unless someone knows of a good proctologist I will consider the damage irreversible. Scratch the breathers. Also, some of you may remember my operational spiral speed indicator. Worked great until after I got things sealed up and let it sit for six months. After that time the assembly seized and the internal belt popped off. Scratch feature #2...
Thankfully, the rest of the build has proved to be vastly more bulletproof and after a few weeks of constant operation and display in my home, it seems to be standing the test of time well.
Take a look and let me know what you think!

Here's what others have to say...
Jon Bullinger
Yakima Rail Grab Tower
For those with raised or flush side rails, the Rail Grab is a no-brainer. It?s low profile, giving your roof rack a sleek, integrated look. It?s also easy to install and remove with included onboard tool.
Gets the job done
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
We had a set of Yakima cross bars and needed to mount them to our Sienna van and they do the trick. Easy to install and seamless integration with the Yakima SKS key system. Haven't loaded the cargo carrier or ski rack up yet, but that will coming soon (so far so good anyway).
JP Rambo
Easy Breezy
I had use the Q towers in the past and compared to those these are easier to install and they are stronger. Obviously model design has a lot to do with it (some cars can use these and some cannot). I have these on my Suby right now and wow do I love these. They keep a nice low profile so they are sleek and they like I said are probably the simplest yakima product I have ever installed.
will these mount onto the factory mounted...
will these mount onto the factory mounted rails of my 2006 nissan frontier 4 door truck?

Can not go into September with a catching duo of Solano and Flores. I expect a trade for a rental
- baseballswami - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:38 PM
Previous thread there was some blaming of the rookies. Oh, come on. Both Sean and Tyler have been a big part of where we are now – still at the top last time I checked. Both were bound to slip at some point – but both in the same game? That's just not something you could have seen coming and how can you be mad at them? JZim brilliant again – probably lowered his era. Sucks really bad for him. I think he went seven with less than a hundred pitches? Davey needs to start letting him finish his own games. He just seems to get stronger with every outing. He will also be pitching Friday night on a regular schedule. Everyone else needs to eat, sleep and get ready for the second half. Go Nats! Go National League!
- Secret wasian man - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:39 PM
8 runs in 3 games against a TERRIBLE pitching staff is worrisome. Too much emphasis on All Star game and not enough on taking advantage and beating a real bad Rockies team. Although 49-34 and up by 4 games is darn good.
- rogieshan - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:39 PM
I thought the unwritten rule was you never play for a tie at home. Did Espinosa elect to sacrifice on his own, when Desmond could have easily stolen 2nd base against an erratic-throwing catcher? Wouldn't the left-handed hitting Ankiel have been a better option than Flores at the end? Plenty of second guessing with this loss.
- peric - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:39 PM
Looks like the Nats are going to definitely need Storen in whatever role.
- ehay2k - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:41 PM
50 wins would have been nice, but I wonder, will this loss might keep every Nat focused over the ASB?Very tough loss for Zimmermann, but what else is new for our hard luck ace? Gio can probably commiserate with him, based on Gio's A's experience . Solano showed his inexperience today. He's quick, but there were a couple of balls that got past him where he looked like he made more of a glove stab at the ball. Perhaps the heat played into it?OK, the Nats are off for a few days. Time for a break from baseball – this season is wearing us fans out, but in a good way!
- Secret wasian man - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:42 PM
Sean and clip are not rookies. More and Salato are.
- peric - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:43 PM
Can not go into September with a catching duo of Solano and Flores. I expect a trade for a rentalGuess you haven't been watching? The Nats again have a surplus. Sandy Leon is back catching in AA. Maldonado is on the 40-man in Syracuse. The Nats aren't going to waste anything on any rental for any position … Now, for a player than can make an impact both this year and in the future? It seems highly likely the Nats just might do that. And suddenly Justin Upton becomes available and he's a Rizzo guy. There's Grienke. There's lots of possibilities to do something like that instead of wasting good prospects on a "rental".
- baseballswami - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:44 PM
Perspective, perspective. We come back after the break with four in Miami – once again, things don't get easier. Maybe losing a series to a mediocre team at home will produce a little soul searching. Mets lost, Atlanta has overtaken them and won. Look where we are – it's been a pretty cool first half.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:44 PM
Moore, Solano, and Lombardozzi are rookies.
- ehay2k - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:44 PM
@rogieshan, once Flores came in because Moore pitch hit for Solano. Pretty hard to pull him after that. Who would catch?
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:46 PM
Chalk that up to not bashing a lousy pitcher like Guthrie. 3 total runs scored against the worst team in the NL.
- peric - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:46 PM
Solano showed his inexperience today. He's quick, but there were a couple of balls that got past him where he looked like he made more of a glove stab at the ball. Perhaps the heat played into it?That's why Sandy Leon had moved ahead of him … especially since he seemed to have suddenly discovered his bat. Leon is the best defensive catcher in the system and a potential starter. Solano projects as a backup at this point.
- baseballswami - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:47 PM
Bryce is our fourth rookie. A few days ago all of rookies were fantastic and our catchers were, too. Lombo especially smacked some balls hard today and they were caught – line score doesn't tell the tale. They have all made great contributions in the first half to help us get where we are, also. The Nats win as a team and sometimes they lose as a team. It happens.
- NatsJack in Florida - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:47 PM
I said it on the last thread…..2 runs off Jeremy Guthrie. That stinks.
- ehay2k - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:48 PM
Peric, I'm not liking Grienke after his outburst yesterday. If you watch the play, he was WAY late covering first. No one to blame but himself, in which case a head slap, not a ball spike in front of, he ump. When I saw it, I immediately thought "How Morgan-like." We don't have or want any of those kind of guys on our team any more.
- sm13 - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:50 PM
49 wins are pretty darn good and at least 5 games up on my best expectations. We in first place and on pace for 95+ wins. Let's just calm down and mix up some All Star break kool-ade.
- Ghost Of Steve M. - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:50 PM
ehay, until Flores was announced he didnt have to pinch hit. If the game went on, Flores would have entered as a defensive replacement.
- baseballswami - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:51 PM
Agreed about Grienke – he has a hard time being flexible and may not do well in a large city. He has huge road/home splits, which reflects his difficulty with having to be in a comfort zone. Still in the Wandy camp.
- rogieshan - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:55 PM
@ehay2K, I realize Flores was going to come into the game to replace Solano regardless, but he didn't have to be used as a pinch hitter at that point. I guess Davey was trying to save Ankiel and DeRosa. I was more disappointed with the decision to give an out away on the Espinosa sacrifice.
- Positively Half St. - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:57 PM
If Flores got a hit we would be singing a very different tune. Let's not dwell on one game, but on the entire first half over the All-Star break. It would definitely be silly to complain about Burnett and Clippard.+1/2St.
- Positively Half St. - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:58 PM
There is still some action to pay attention to. The stinking Fish are up 4-2 in the 8th, and if I type fast enough, the Cardinals still have the tying run at the plate.+1/2St.
- ehay2k - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:58 PM
You are correct Steve – they could have had anyone available hitting there. However, I still doubt Ankiel was a better option than Flores. Ankiel already had his hit for July.:-) Who else available would have been a better option than Flores? I was also thinking that after the double steal, Flores would take some pitches. The Fox had first base open.
- ehay2k - Jul 8, 2012 at 8:59 PM
Dang auto correct – the Rox had first open.
- peric - Jul 8, 2012 at 9:04 PM
Still in the Wandy camp.Wandy is Jayson Werth's age. ONE IS ENOUGH. Let the Orioles have him. This sort of thinking led to the collapse in 2005.I'll stick with Grienke. He's a lot younger. Unless someone similar becomes available who is perhaps younger? Like Gio.Otherwise, NO TO WANDY, NO TO DEMPSTER as they defeat the who strategy Rizzo and the FO have developed for this franchise. They make absolutely NO SENSE. Start Gorzo or Stammen instead … you'd be better off.
- peric - Jul 8, 2012 at 9:09 PM
Moore, Solano, and Lombardozzi are rookies.Harper, Moore, Solano, Lombardozzi … and hopefully after the break Corey Brown dagnabit!
- ehay2k - Jul 8, 2012 at 9:11 PM
Peric, I agree Stammen or Gorzo would be decent options for starters. No need to trade for older pitchers, or head cases. I am as firm a NO NO NO on Grienke as you are on Dempster and Wandy. Or, we could also bring up someone from the farm. Who is a good number 5 candidate?
- peric - Jul 8, 2012 at 9:17 PM
Or, we could also bring up someone from the farm. Who is a good number 5 candidate?IL and former major league all star Zach Duke, Yunesky Maya (who has done pretty well this year in AAA), and John Lannan in that order. They've got plenty and to spare.If the Nats make a deal it would have to be for someone young who has the potential to be yet another Strasburg, Gio, and Zimmnn. Preferably one good enough to make a better than passable replacement for Stras.And that is why Grienke makes sense over "the head case deal". He's probably not happy with the All Star snub (he deserved to go) and the trade rumors swirling around … I suspect he's be just fine with the Nats. And who knows maybe he did that just to bring his trade price down from the upper stratosphere? Grienke is a true baseball geek … he knows whats going on.
- ehay2k - Jul 8, 2012 at 9:20 PM
Peric, you and I place a very different value on Civility. Grienke is talented, but like Zambrano, he does not belong on THIS team. Just the wrong chemistry.
- baseballswami - Jul 8, 2012 at 9:26 PM
I guess we will have to wait and see what Rizzo the deal-master has up his sleeve,even if it's standing pat. Five days left to sign Giolito, maybe will wait and see how that goes.
- JaneB - Jul 8, 2012 at 9:51 PM
Sean and Clip are usually golden. It happens. It would have been nice to chalk up the 50th win tonight, but we didn't. I prefer to focus on a DIFFERENT 50: the Phillies have dropped 50 as of today. Last year, it took 'em till mid-September to drop the 50th game. We ae being helped by our new capacity to beat them. All we need to do is keep winning against our division and keep that pretty red flag atop to standings pole till we hit reset in October.Last year, at the break, I was an emotional WRECK by the AllStar break. I needed a rest more than the players did. This year, it feels very different. Last year, wins were nice. This year, I EXPECT them to win. Last year at this time, a host of players made me cringe and peek through my fingers atbthe game. This year, only HRod does that, and it will get better. A year ago at this time, I could wear my Nats gear all the time and get no comments at all. This year, I see more Curlie Ws out there and people want to talk baseball in line atbthe Home Depot. Last year, our unused seats sometimes went begging. This year, we have lots of people asking to use them. And this year, I'm getting to more games, and so they can't. So this year, I'm happy the guys get a break, but I don't need one. I'll be watching the game Tuesday, feeling like we have more a stake than just cheering on our guys. I think it is just glorious, having baseball in DC

Heath Bell implodes again, and the Fish are fried in St. Louis ! Personally, I'd rather have MPHRod than Bell.Natslady, this fried fish is for you!

I think a certain poster here would be a problem in the locker room. You know, bad for team chemistry.

Ditto, JaneB.Just got home from the game. So unusual to have burnie and clipp not lock it down. But they can't be perfect all the time. I chalk this one up to "The Curse of JZimm" (poor baby)

Os going in the tank. Get ready for more bandwagon jumpers. I don't want them. I want those of us who still sat down and watched every game when we were 30-50. GO NATS!!!!

But speaking of fried fish, will they put the home run thingee up in KC, maybe next to the waterfall? With Stanton out, that would be the only Marlins hat there.
- baseballswami - Jul 8, 2012 at 10:20 PM
I think it would have been awesome to go into the break with 50, a nice round number. This Rox series could have been a sweep by us – we came THIS CLOSE to winning all three. It takes every single person doing his job, guys picking up other guys. Even in this game, the tying run was on THIRD. We are rarely out of a game – Thursday night taught me a big, big lesson about that ( was that the day of the big comeback?). We have had an outstanding, fun ride this first half. Maybe they need to go into the break knowing that as good as they have been, they have a target on their backs and every team gets up for them now. They just can't let down. Maybe at 50 wins they go into the break a little too content.With this series slipping away, maybe they come back a little more determined. They will need every bit of energy and focus when they come back.I am just betting there will be some rest and relaxation, but also some serious soul searching going on.

Interesting fact on twitter – Bryce is an allstar but is younger than all but 3 of the guys playing in the futures game. Oh, Bryce. I really hope he has a great time and is inspired – and I hope he gets some quality time with the fam.

Safest Huntsville Neighborhoods
Population 186,254
With a crime rate of 59 per one thousand residents, Huntsville has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 17. Within Alabama, more than 88% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Huntsville.
Importantly, when you compare Huntsville to other communities of similar population, then Huntsville crime rate (violent and property crimes combined) is quite a bit higher than average. Regardless of how Huntsville does relative to all communities in America of all sizes, when NeighborhoodScout compared it to communities of similar population size, its crime rate per thousand residents stands out as higher than most.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how Huntsville does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Huntsville.
For Huntsville, we found that the violent crime rate is one of the highest in the nation, across communities of all sizes (both large and small). Violent offenses tracked included forcible rape, murder and non-negligent manslaughter, armed robbery, and aggravated assault, including assault with a deadly weapon. According to NeighborhoodScout's analysis of FBI reported crime data, your chance of becoming a victim of one of these crimes in Huntsville is one in 123.
Significantly, based on the number of murders reported by the FBI and the number of residents living in the city, NeighborhoodScout's analysis shows that Huntsville experiences one of the higher murder rates in the nation when compared with cities and towns for all sizes of population, from the largest to the smallest.
In addition, NeighborhoodScout found that a lot of the crime that takes place in Huntsville is property crime. Property crimes that are tracked for this analysis are burglary, larceny over fifty dollars, motor vehicle theft, and arson. In Huntsville, your chance of becoming a victim of a property crime is one in 20, which is a rate of 50 per one thousand population.
Importantly, we found that Huntsville has one of the highest rates of motor vehicle theft in the nation according to our analysis of FBI crime data. This is compared to communities of all sizes, from the smallest to the largest. In fact, your chance of getting your car stolen if you live in Huntsville is one in 264.

As the unrest and violence escalate in the Middle East, flags in the United States and in Houston were flying at half-staff on Thursday.
Many people are also focusing on presidential politics and wondering if the crisis will have an impact on the upcoming presidential election.
In Washington Thursday, Republicans backing Mitt Romney questioned President Barack Obama's leadership.
Locally, the chairman of the GOP said the president has failed.
"It's time for a president who will stand up and tell the rest of the world he's proud to be an American," said Jared Woodfill. "He's proud of our country, proud of our history instead of going around the world apologizing."
However, Lane Lewis, the chair of the Harris County Democratic Party, said the crisis has revealed the president's true character.
"We got to see President Obama as we have many times before -- a strong leader and decisive. On the other hand, you saw Mitt Romney -- impulsive and dangerously erratic," said Lewis.
Many critics have also accused the president of being sympathetic to the Muslim rioters, but that isn't reflected in national political polls.
The NBC/Wall Street Journal poll indicates the president has a significant advantage over Romney on national security and foreign policy.
"Historically foreign policy has played a very limited role in how voters make their choice in terms of choosing the next president," said Rice University political professor Mark Jones. "So I wouldn't expect it to have a long term impact."

I'm glad that her pain is gone.
I'm glad that her pain is gone.
More practice vid:
Daisuke looking very handsome! Mao's lutz is still a flutz but otherwise very nice. And I think her flip was very nice and not under-rotated! Luv that she's looking so healthy and happy!
Wow as I suspected, the media started their sensation to hype this 3A. Seems rather unfair to Mao and add to the pressure.
The thing is if she can really do it, she should have able to landed a dozen of those, not just 1, not after all this time. To bother report landed just 1 triple axels in practice, can you imagine how many failure she has had all these time?
Good news about no more pain, hope she can stay healthy.
what the heck are you talking about? look at what was said, the report said that she attempted two during her practice, and both where landed and looked gourges in the air!
one can assume and imagine all one want's too, but in the end what really happens is what matters! and what was reported and filmed was amazing news, I find it really puzzling how some are trying to turn positve news into something negative lol
I think she focused more on being consistent and cope with her nerves but never gave up the 3A. I am sure she still practiced, otherwise she wouldn't be able to land it all of a sudden. The fact that she landed it at the official practice 2 out of 2 means that probably the consistency rate on the 3A is getting better but probably her strategy is not to include it in the program until they are sure it's consistent enough. You make it sound like this is the first time in years she landed a 3A. I am sure she did many good ones in practice too, but landing them in the actual competition is harder. I hope she gets there again eventually
Uhh I am only going by Hurrah's report, and will please calm yourself down? If I am mistaken then thanks for the correction.
The only one imagine anything on this board seems to be you to do with hypothetical BVs lol! She really did two? Funny, all I see on the video is they replayed the jump three times, but then I don't understand the Japanese language. The thing is if she can do it, why not bring it? Strategy are for the weak, you should always bring your very best every time you step on the ice.
Japan loves the big tricks, so it doesn't surprise me that they would make a big deal about Mao landing a few 3As in practice. I don't think it hurts to mention it; it means she's still working on it. Of course, that isn't necessarily an indicator that it's competition ready.
For example, there has been reports that Ashley Wagner has been landing 2A-3T + 3F-3T in practices at Skate America and at home, but as she has declined to do them in competition it means it's not quite ready for prime time.
Tell that to Sui Wenjing...strategy are for the smart IMO
EDIT: I believe this is her second 3A: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjW7-NcVheA
Last edited by Mirunna; 12-20-2012 at 12:50 PM.
Look i am not trying to take anything away from her. If she can do the 3A then do it already.
Considering the amount of work JSU has managed to pull all the rules changes in her favour. Minimise GOE scale values therefore reduce the importance of quality across the board for every other lady. Reduce penalties for UR. Reduce penalties for wrong edge which minimize the importance for correct technique. Have a totally separate GOE scale of values just for the tripe axle as well as increase its base values by 0.5 as well as the 3loop. If she doesn't bring it, it would completely waste years of work behind the scenes to ensure the field favours her.
Yes ...strategy should matter but it is also the main difference between a serious performance sport (marked in accordance to performance on the day and treat all competitors equally from ground zero) vs a game sport (made impressions consist of media play and hype over a season, as well as star billing, which certainly does impact human judgement).

Wow, those triple axels were beautiful. She certainly must have kept practicing them; otherwise she wouldn't be able to land them. Both were beautiful with fantastic tight air position. The second one would be given < but the first one would be ratified! That's quite an achievement to land a fully rotated triple axel among the ladies, isn't it? I would love her to give it a shot but I understand she may prefer to go for a clean program without such a risky element.
It was very wise for Tarasova to put that position with the leg above the hip right after the lutz. When landed cleanly with good flow like in the practice video it will make up for the change of edge and Mao will likely get 0's instead of mostly -2's or -1's.
That was gorgeous! I love Mao's air position in those clips. It's much better than it is in her usual triples.

An excerpt from Ram Dass' Grist for the Mill: Awakening to Oneness. For more in Dass, read "America's Guru: Ram Dass at 82" in the current issue of Tricycle.
In the mid-sixties there seemed to be an expectation that if we got high, we'd be free. We were not quite realistic about the profundity of man's attachments and deep clingings. We thought that if only we knew how to get high the right way, we wouldn't come down. And that was our attempt. Then in the late sixties, there was the idea that if we joined the movement and became part of a model of how to stay high, we'd be able to do it. So in the late sixties and early seventies, there was a tremendous interest in mass movements.

Discovering Your True Nature: A Teaching with Andrew Holecek
As historian Arnold Toynbee once said, "death is un-American." Author and Buddhist teacher Andrew Holecek uses this quote to open "Transforming Our Greatest Obstacle into Our Greatest Opportunity," his January online retreat on forming a spiritual relationship with our own death. Holecek notes that if we approach death—our greatest obstacle and the one thing that is certain in life—with assertion and confidence, we can turn it into our greatest opportunity for spiritual progress. Watch this special introductory teaching, and be sure to check in to his retreat, available beginning January 6th, 2013.

Swamp Marigold
I started going to pain clinics for spinal injections and physical therapy after I was diagnosed with spinal osteoarthritis six years ago. I was given the advice to keep a pain journal to record my symptoms, and for a while I did. And it was so depressing that I started referring to my journal as Fuck This Shit.
I, who had been a brick house, was, in my 40s, crumbling to bits.
It certainly passes the time for the chronically ill to keep a log of symptoms, but is it healing? I have my doubts. When you have a chronic disease, you know there's going to be a Greek chorus of tragedies big and small and symptoms that pop up like Whack-A-Moles. The question is: What do you do about it?

What's Noble about the Four Noble Truths?
When people ask me this question, they often seem a little embarrassed, for fear that it's impolite or too obvious, but it's well worth asking. After all, the end of suffering and the path to its end might be noble, but what's noble about suffering and the craving that causes it? If anything, by attributing all suffering to craving, the truths seem to deny the possibility of noble suffering entirely. And what does it mean for a truth to be "noble" anyway?

Findings shed light on when the Buddha (might have) died
(RNS) Scientists have uncovered the first physical evidence showing when the great religious leader known as the Buddha passed away, a date crucial to scholars and adherents of Buddhism.
Excavations in 2011 and 2012 at a site known as the Buddha's birthplace imply he died—or, more accurately, experienced his "great passing away"—in the 6th century B.C., roughly 100 years earlier than the scholarly consensus.
The debate over the timing is not just academic: Buddhist countries such as Thailand use a dating system pegged to the year of the Buddha's death, and some of his prophecies imply no one will achieve enlightenment a certain number of years after his passing.

Exhibition Jean Cousin, Father and Son
A Family of Painters in the 16th Century
from October 17, 2013 to January 13, 2014
The 15th century in France is represented by Jean Fouquet and Enguerrand Quarton, the 17th by Geroges de la Tour and Nicolas Poussin. The 16th century was that of Jean Cousin.
The name of Jean Cousin—honored in history books, engraved on the pediments of art academies and on museum facades—continues to symbolize the 16th-century revival of stained glass and tapestry work. A masterly treatise on perspective and a work on portrait drawing earned him his fame. Today, however, he is mostly remembered for a single painting: the Eva Prima Pandora. This secular portrait of Eve as an odalisque enshrined in her cave—the first large female nude in French painting, and an early, idealized representation of female beauty—has recently been restored.
The painting is presented here among other works by this versatile and prolific artist: masterful dawings, sculptures, prints, books of engravings, tapestry, embroidery and armor, all of which testify to Cousin's outstanding skill in every technique. A selection of works by his son and heir completes the presentation of this major artist whose innovative style, a precursor of classicism, drew inspiration from both the Renaissance respect for the past and the elegance of Mannerism.
Organized by:
Dominique Cordellier, Musée du Louvre, Department of Prints and Drawings, and Cécile Scailliérez, Musée du Louvre, Department of Paintings
Practical information
From October 17, 2013 to January 13, 2014
Denon Wing, 1st floor, Mollien Rooms
Opening hours:
Every day except Tuesday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Late opening on Wednesdays and Fridays until 9.45 p.m.

Platinum TwinDrag
Accurate Platinum TwinDrag™ two-speed reels are simply the finest built and most rigorously tested offshore reels available to serious big-game fishermen. They offer unique features that represent state-of-the-art technology not found in any other fishing reels. Complementing the reel's ultra-smooth and highly efficient TwinDrag™ system is a unique, graduated alphanumeric visual reference scale that works in conjunction with the preset lever to enable precise drag range settings. The reel's two-speed QuickShift™, allows for an easy transition between high and low gears, giving anglers a decided advantage when fighting powerful, fast fish like big wahoo, tuna and marlin. Of the reel's seven sealed stainless steel ball bearings, five are positioned in the spool and two in the reel handle. Because the dual-drag design reduces side load, these bearings consequently receive less side pressure, allowing them to perform smoother and last longer. Once you've leaned on a big bruiser with our Platinum TwinDrag™ you won't want to fish with any other reel. |
FREE LINE SETUPS AND REEL COVER! All ATD Accurate reels are available with a free fill-up of monofilament, Izorline, Ande, P-Line, or Berkley Big Game. A free spectra/topshot setup is also available which includes up to 500 yards of Spectra. A Reel Cover is also included at no additional charge. Simply select the "Add note" option at checkout and write in what setup you would like. Looking for a clamp, a handle, or just some longer frame studs? Check out our Accurate accessory listing here. |
For your additional security, all Accurate reels shipped have their serial numbers recorded prior to shipping so they can be traced should your reel become lost or stolen.
This number is engraved on your reel at the time of manufacture.

Stretchable electronics get the heart back on track
The endocardial balloon catheter with a stretchable array of sensors and electrodes, designed to treat arrhythmias (Photo: Dae-Hyeong Kim)
Article Summary
When a patient has an arrhythmia (an irregular heartbeat), cardiologists will often treat the disorder by inserting two tube-like catheters into the patient's heart. The first catheter is used for mapping out the heart tissue, identifying the location of cells that are causing the arrhythmia. The second catheter, which has an electrode on the end, is then directed to those locations, where it kills the aberrant cells in a process known as ablation. Scientists have recently developed a single catheter with added stretchable electronics, however, that does both jobs in one step.

I guess this is good, but I'll stick to LibreOffice, thank you.
Phoronix: Microsoft Looking At Office For Linux In 2014
It seems thanks to the increasing market-share of Android devices and the rise of Linux on the desktop thanks to the many commercial Linux gaming initiatives that have been shared in recent months, Microsoft is being forced to take a serious look at Linux and a meaningful look at releasing their popular Office software for Linux in 2014...
I guess this is good, but I'll stick to LibreOffice, thank you.
If there isn't going to be one major fuckup in the near future (like the transition to Wayland etc.), I think Linux desktop *will* finally breakthrough. For real this time.
Just wanted to get that out before the upcoming "oh no! Microsoft is killing Linux!" posts.
This has got to be an April fools. Just thinking about it causes a headache.
People run from Microsoft. Microsoft old strategy - lock up everything and shit on every other platform. That failed. Microsoft new strategy - pursue the people to their new platforms.
I am more than sure that new "solutions" will be feature reduced on non-microsoft systems, will work with non-microsoft documents very badly and will do everything to advertize microsoft platform.
I am not expecting wonders from the shit company of this scale.
Thorvalds once said something like "when Microsoft starts writing software for Linux, I have won". I think he basically meant that he was not very interested in market shares etc, but that this would be a recognition that the platform had become important. Unfortunately I do not remember the context of the above standing quote.
MS Office on Linux will push the LibreOffice developers to get their act in gear. Competition works both ways. Yay!
Office is already running on BSD (OSX) so the Linux port should not be too hard. It's already running in two different GUI environments, adding a third would not be a stretch.
Who knows they could be maintaining an internal port to linux all along without releasing it, just preparing for the inevitable. They can just whip back the curtain at the appropriate moment. It would not be the first time for such a thing. Apple maintained an Intel port for years before they made their public announcement. Sun had a port of Solaris running on intel since '386 days but it went internal for many years after the "Sun 386i" debacle.
Microsoft's real moneymaker has always been office. If they see linux become viable for the desktop then I could see them doing this, to make sure they lock as many people as possible into their office ecosystem.

There are many treatments to prevent acne. However, an ounce of prevention is always better than a pound of cure. Changing your lifestyle can help you get rid of the nasty bumps.
Think of the zits that may come with pus. Blackheads and whiteheads may make your skin look dirty and unhygienic. Being meticulous about the foods you eat can help you prevent acne.
What is Acne?
This is a skin condition that leaves you with red bumps, comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) as well as acne scars.
This results from an infected follicle or pore. What cause this infection? You may have an oily skin which makes you prone to pimples.
Also, cell debris can clog up your pores together with the sebum or oil which leads to infection. A bacterium known as Propionibacterium acnes causes acne.
Though acne is not a serious skin condition or health concern, it can affect your self-esteem and even lead to emotional distress. Eat right in order to prevent the zits.
What are the foods you need to avoid?
- Oily and Fatty Foods
Foods that are high in trans-fat or saturated fats do not only cause serious health problems such as heart disease. It can also cause acne.
In order to spare your skin from pimples, you must have a good immune system against the acne-causing bacteria. This is why eating a balanced diet free from saturated fat is important.
Fats can increase the oil production by your sebaceous gland which increases your risk of having clogged pores.
Oily dishes can increase breakout episodes making you suffer from acne that infest your whole face. Avoid milk that is whole fat, butter, fatty meat and cheese.
- Sweets
You are a sweet tooth. You love eating chocolates and you tend to binge on bars loaded with simple sugars. Do you know that you are increasing your risk of having acne?
Studies show that foods such as candy, soda, white flour can depress your immune system. In turn, these foods allow the acne-causing microbes to multiply fast and cause pimples.
Avoiding these sugary treats can help you especially during your teenage years in order to prevent breakouts.
Eat foods that are made from complex carbohydrates. Eating heavily processed foods can leave you with the zits.
Choose whole wheat bread instead of white bread and dark chocolate over milk and white ones. Now you know how to bargain in order to prevent the nasty acne.
- Salty Food
You love preserved foods such as canned goods. Aside from being delicious, it is the easiest way to complete the three meals you need for a day.
However, what you do not know is that these foods are heavily laden with salt which acts as the preservative.
Salt can cause skin dehydration which makes acne growth possible. Iodine-rich foods like tuna and sardines are good for the body. However, a very high amount of this nutrient in your system may cause acne breakouts.
Now you know what foods to avoid in bringing back the natural glow to your skin. Acne is highly treatable. You just have to know what and what not to take to prevent breakouts.

Adjusting Ride Height - Ticket To Ride
Written by on March 18, 2008 Ride Height: The Biggest Little Secret In Chassis Construction?Aside from gassers, low is pretty much right when it comes to hot rods and customs. That's no surprise. But how many times have you looked at a car that, well, looked completely out of kilter? You know-the car that just doesn't sit right. What's even worse is the independent suspension that has been lowered so severely the camber is dangerously skewed (and those guys wonder why their tires have goofy tread wear). Inevitably, out-of-whack cars like this don't work that well either, and that's even more critical than "the look" for a car that sees regular use.
So what's the point? Simple, it's easy to build a car by slicing coils off springs and throwing suspension bits at it, but that's not the best way to do it-even if your car is going to be a pretty standard piece. The right way to do things is to begin with a basic plan coupled with some very basic dimensions; the first thing you need to do is establish the ride height of your ride.
By establishing the ride height, you can then build the car to suit the components instead of the other way around. You can establish some "knowns" (how high or how low you want it to sit, tire dimensions, rocker panel or running board height, etc.) and then fill in the variables (suspension hardware such as springs, shocks, suspension links, and so on). This way, a car like the '40 Ford in the photos, which will eventually be fitted with 29 1/2-inch and 25-inch-tall rolling stock, will still look right and work right, even after it's lowered as far as mechanically possible.
To get there, I first figured out the rearend width (see the February '08 R&C for more info). Then I determined how high the back tire could go before I ran into body interference, and took the measurements. Pal George Cathey of Pro Designs used my dimensions and laid out a rough draft of the chassis perimeter in Auto CAD. The drawing shown on page 48 isn't complete or finalized, but it is a work in progress as we deal with dimensions. Of course, there are limits to this juggling: Pinion angle, tire clearance, and other factors enter into the equation, but it's still nice to have a real point of reference before you or your chassis builder fires up the plasma cutter.
As you'll soon see, there are no tricks to this scheme. Instead, there are just a few common sense ideas that work. Check out the following photos and copy the concept and you'll have the basics to build a car that not only looks right, but also works properly, too.

Chevy's 2011 Aveo platform gets the 'hot hatch' tuner treatment
Article Summary
The effects of 2008's petrol crisis are showing no signs of abating at this year's Detroit NAIAS - small cars, electrics and hybrids are the big stars of 2010 in Motor City. And Chevy is looking to capitalise, with a new muscled-up 'hot hatch' concept based on a revitalised update to its lukewarm Aveo platform. The 138-horsepower, 1.4 litre Aveo RS is Chevrolet's tricked-out take on what the tuner community should be able to do when the new, improved Aveo platform launches in 2011 - and Chevy's hoping this funky show car helps turn around the current Aveo's reputation as a rebadged Korean econobox.

My conclusion. Flexibility can develop into a good thing. Neapolitan style in general is simplicity; but that does not prevent enjoyment of heavier raw, grilled or sauteed vegetables, as long as you separate them out and enjoy them as a pre-cursor to your pizza. In some cases, you may enjoy them more. The same standards apply to heavier sauteed meats. Otherwise, I need to head for a different style crust-- unless of course I want to be heard next door.
