"I have always grown from my problems and challenges, from the things that don't work out, that's when I've really learned."
Carol Burnett
"We choose to go...not because [it is] easy, but because [it is] hard, because that goal will serve to measure and organize the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win."
John Fitzgerald Kennedy
"Opposition is a natural part of life. Just as we develop our physical muscles through overcoming opposition - such as lifting weights - we develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and adversity."
Stephen R. Covey
"Don't be afraid to challenge the pros, even in their own backyard."
Colin Powell
"Our very strength as lesbians lies in the fact that we are outside of patriarchy; our existence challenges its life."
Charlotte Bunch
"When you have a challenge and the response is equal to the challenge, that's called "success". But once you have a new challenge, the old, once-successful response no longer works. That's why it is called a "failure"."
"I don't know what my limitations are until I reach them. I look for the challenge."
Joseph Fiennes
"Sometimes a player's greatest challenge is coming to grips with his role on the team."
Scottie Pippen
"The challenge is to practice politics as the art of making what appears to be impossible, possible."
Hillary Clinton
"A stream is music and motion: smooth glides, fast, turbulent riffles and deep pools, each posing a special challenge."
Nelson Bryant

Founded in 515 by the King of Burgundy, Sigismond, this Abbey of St Maurice was created in the name of 3C Christian martyrs. The current church was restored in 1949 and dates back to the 17C, although the stone belltower is from the 11C and the steeple from the 13C. The simple nave is vaulted and lit by high windows. The altar is decorated with a mosaic of Maurice Denis.

*This is an NG cut, which means the intro and ending drums have been cut off allowing this to go straight to the point. Also, the quality is lower because it is on 128kbps, while the radio cut is 192kbps and the original mix is 320kbps.*
After like 4 monthes since my last piece, I come back with another Progressive House track. This one allowed me to work on my mixing as well as my mastering, which I believe, still needs a little more work.
Nostalgia in Space is one of my more emotional tracks, focusing more on different progressions and atmosphere throughout the tune. This makes it differ from the song's counter-part, Feels Like Meh. Also, this track uses subtle hat programming without the use of loops, which I haven't done since Final Thought. Like all my productions, this track is done entirely within Propellerhead's Reason 4.
So on to track details and discoveries:
-I found out that it is better to manipulate drums on the NNXT sampler than just running it on ReDrum. Also, the drum samples sound better in quality when I use NNXT for some reason so I decided not to use ReDrum at all.
-I also improved how I layer my claps and snares, giving it a little more punch by sliding some of the samples right before the kick drum.
-I now use the SubTractor synth for my bass patches and I route it through a vocoder EQ because it sounds a lot more heavy as opposed to a regular EQ.
-All drum samples are layered, with no loops added.
Track Summary:
Time Spent - 7-9 days
Samples used - Xfer xfrscd01, Reason Sound Bank
Instruments used - Thor, Subtractor, NNXT Sampler
Influences - Dinka (Green Leaf), Adam K & Soha (Who Cares)
Programs Used - Propellerhead's Reason 4

Ford Fan - Unregistered October 02, 2011 4:30 PM For those who think Ford didn't have the pace this weekend I recomend them to think again , without the loose time on stage 3 Jari-Mati Latvala could be the winner by 2.1 sec in front of Ogier!! (that if you eleminate the time penalty for the jump start and the penalty for helping Hirvonen)so go to the stage times and see because time stage never lie !!As for Hirvonen ...well... he need some tarmac lessons from Latvala ... CLEAR !! 8 agree 5 disagree
Taz - Unregistered October 02, 2011 5:43 PM Nice of Hirvonen to thank Latvala for dropping back 'again' to help in in a championship he won't win.....oh hang on, he didn't. 7 agree 1 disagree
Thomas - Unregistered October 02, 2011 7:02 PM Peter Solberg was excluded from the rally,the reason beeing the car was to lite(min weight 1200kg) his was 1196kg.This puts Mikko"the slow" Hirvonen in first place joint whit Loeb.What a luck ** 7 agree 2 disagree
Mrploppy - Unregistered October 02, 2011 10:10 PM Although its exiting to have 3 drivers fighting for the title i feel that if hirvonen wins it will be rather hollow as all season long hes been slow & inconsistant and the only reason hes in contention is because of jm latvala who is twice the driver hes is. So i would like to see ogier win as he has single handedly made the wrc exiting this year!!! 9 agree 3 disagree
slightlysideways October 02, 2011 10:26 PM Hirvonen-haters take note: he is well ahead of jml in the standings not just due to him slowing down. MH has finished every rally so far this yr with a reasonable amount of points, when you consider the trouble the car gave and the fact he is level with Loeb, that's not half bad. Ogier has won five, yes five events as opposed to Mikko's two and is still behind him.This forum is very pro-jml anti Mikko, imo jml's consistency still isn't there in minding the car and keeping it on the road. Anything can happen, thank f*** the wrc is exciting again Reply Report abuse 3 agree 4 disagree
GoFstr - Unregistered October 02, 2011 10:33 PM @ MrploppyI could agree more! I can just imagine IF Hirvonen wins (he won't since Loeb, Ogier and Latvala are faster, and especially with one tarseal event left), Malcolm Wilson will come out with a comment "Hirvonen did well to win the title, and this shows how fast and successful M-Sport and Ford are, Hirovnen and Ford deserved this"Really? Currently Citroen 9 wins, Ford 2 wins? Beaten by Mini twice on tarseal? Latvala slowing to let Hirvonen win/get points? Really??? Deserve to win??? What ever you say Malcolm! 6 agree 1 disagree
hmm - Unregistered October 03, 2011 8:47 AM Wow some real bitterness from mrploppy there! - "lets imagine what may or may not be said should certain events occur in the future however unlikley and get all upset about them."I could speculate what mrploppy will write next but I won't. I'm sure it'll be as interesting and informative (sic) as his last comment... 0 agree 1 disagree
Flash 3 - Unregistered October 03, 2011 11:11 AM @ Ford Fan,I have never seen 'what ifs' count for points in motorsport!They were not fast enough on the day,end of story. 1 agree 0 disagree
mrploppy - Unregistered October 03, 2011 11:47 AM bitterness????? it was just my honest opinion!!!! as a rule i would like to see anyone bar loeb win just for a bit of variety, so if anyone bar him wins(including hirvonen) i will be happier than anyone becuase seeing someone winning 8 times in a row is not entertaining unlike this season which has been fantastic 3 agree 0 disagree
Taz - Unregistered October 03, 2011 12:35 PM @hmm Don't think he's been bitter, it's a reasonable comment. Hiroven drove poorly. he needs to up his game and his hunger if he's going to win the WDC, Loeb won't just give it away.It seems the team is backing Loeb, will Ogier break team orders ? it's not very harmonious in that team. 4 agree 0 disagree

Who would have ever thought that worms could invade a forest and wreak havoc?
To counteract life's stresses and strains, to slow down the pace of life, stop and smell the roses.....
We all have dreams but why is it that some are so lucky that they come true?
How we focused on attaining our dream homestead.
Roses are often thought of as demanding and difficult to grow. To contradict this notion, the Texas AgriLife Extension Service developed the Earth-Kind rose trials. The trials are designed to recognize varieties that thrive with little help from their owners and without harmful chemicals.
Earth-Kind roses are not treated with pesticides or chemical fertilizers and receive no protection during winter. During the trials, water is supplied through drip irrigation and can be given only when rainfall levels are extremely low. Pruning is limited to the removal of dead wood. In other words, these roses must prove they can thrive on their own.
To date, 21 varieties have been recognized as Earth-Kind. Many classes of roses have earned the distinction, including hybrid teas, floribundas, polyanthas and shrubs. Five of the most widely adaptable varieties include:
'Carefree Beauty.' Bred in Iowa, 'Carefree Beauty' makes a 6-foot rounded shrub with mauve-pink flowers in spring and fall. Hardy to Zone 4.
'Belinda's Dream.' This variety bears beautiful, soft pink flowers on a vigorous, trouble-free shrub. Its fragrant blooms are good for cutting. Hardy to Zone 5.
'Perle d'Or.' This polyantha variety produces a 5-foot-high upright shrub that bears small clusters of apricot-buff flowers with a perfect rosebud shape. Hardy to Zone 6.
'Marie Daly.' A dwarf shrub up to 3 feet high and wide, 'Marie Daly' bears many pink flowers and few thorns. The variety is long-blooming and fragrant, making it a great choice for small gardens. Hardy to Zone 5.
'Sea Foam.' A restrained, rambling rose that reaches up to 10 feet high, 'Sea Foam' is covered in late spring with hundreds of white flowers. Hardy to Zone 4.
For more information and a complete list of Earth-Kind rose varieties, check out the Earth-Kind roses page from the Texas AgriLife Extension Service.

Official Ultra After-Party Featuring The Disco Biscuits At Grand Central
Grand Central will be hosting the official Ultra after-party with The Disco Biscuits on March 27.
Where: Grand Central (697 N. Miami Ave.)
When: March 27, 11 p.m.
Cost: $20 online, $25 @ Door
Age Rest.: 18+
What started off as a rumor of an unnamed Disco Biscuits side project playing a late-night set after Ultra Music Festival has evolved into a full-blown Disco Biscuits concert at Grand Central.
Originally, Def Owl intended to feature Tractorbeam, an instrumental version of the Disco Biscuits, for an after-party on the final night of Ultra. But when Ultra promoters asked the band if they were interested in turning the Tractorbeam show into the official Ultra after-party featuring The Disco Biscuits, the band not only accepted, they tacked on a SECOND SET!
According to The Disco Biscuits, Ultra sold out so quickly the promoters decided to join up with Def Owl and The Disco Biscuits to help promote the concert. Thus what was once Tractorbeam live became Ultra Carryon: The Disco Biscuits at Grand Central.
This pretty much makes Grand Central THE place to be when Ultra lets out on Sunday. And what better way to close Ultra weekend than with a double-shot of late-night Biscuit madness?
The show will also feature Terence Tabeau and Edwin Adams.
Tickets are available online for $20. They're $25 at the door. Just try not to lose your mind—or at least try to remember where you leave it.

Warhammer 40,000: Kill TeamScore: 6.0 / 10
Warhammer 40,000: Kill team is a third
person shooter whose release was used to promote THQs other Warhammer
title, Space Marine. Kill Team actually has a weapon unlock that can be
used in Space Marine. Released through the PSN, Kill Team is offered for
only $10.00, but is it worth your money? |
Kill Team is a third person shooter played mostly from a top down/side view. The main premise of the game is to take on hordes and hordes of enemies attacking you from each direction while completing a given objective that usually involves blowing something up. Not to worry though, your characters are well equipped with guns, swords, grenades and |

power ups.
One saving grace is that Kill Team does
support Coop play in the main story and Survival Mode. Survival Mode
sees you by yourself or with another player fight waves and waves of
enemies with the sole purpose of seeing how long you can hold out for.
Kill Team is a game you will want to play with another person as the
coop does have the added advantage of allowing you to be revived if you
die. |

HomeCompanyNews@NetAppPress Releases Contact Sales Aus: 1800 780 996NZ: 0800 442 742 E-mail twitter facebook linkedin NetApp Enables IT to Be More Flexible, Efficient, and Ready for the Future New Portfolio Delivers Foundation for Shared IT Infrastructure, Accelerates Implementation of Both Private and Public Clouds SYDNEY, Australia.-November 10, 2010- More customers are rethinking their IT infrastructures and evaluating alternatives to cope with the new realities of today's business growth and pace. There is a sense of urgency to act now and move from a siloed infrastructure to a shared IT infrastructure that is more efficient and flexible in addressing today's rapidly evolving business requirements. To help customers respond to these demands, NetApp (NASDAQ: NTAP) today unveiled new platform features, products, and technologies that will help customers make the transition to a flexible and efficient shared IT infrastructure-the foundation for cloud computing-and enable IT to be an accelerator of the business. "There's a significant change underway as CIOs look to better align IT to the speed of business and get IT budgets under control," said Tom Georgens, president and chief executive officer, NetApp. "This is a pivotal time, because the decisions IT leaders make will not only impact how they compete today but also the long-term success of their businesses. Winners in this market are thinking and choosing differently, and more customers are turning to NetApp as their storage platform to achieve greater flexibility and efficiency. We are paving the way for customers to transition to a shared IT infrastructure that will help them be ready for the future and use IT as a tool to capitalise on new growth opportunities." The following new product and technology portfolio delivers the storage platform of choice for customers to build their shared IT infrastructure and make IT more flexible and efficient. Unified Architecture and Systems Portfolio NetApp Data ONTAP® 8: Data ONTAP 8 has new features to enable greater flexibility, efficiency, scalability, and performance. A first for the industry, Unified Connect takes the unified architecture to new levels by supporting all protocols through a single wire to help increase efficiency, improve performance, and simplify management. NetApp DataMotion for Volumes allows customers to move large volumes of data without disrupting their business operations. In addition, new inline data compression can be used alone or with deduplication to help dramatically reduce the amount of storage needed and improve storage efficiency. NetApp FAS/V6200 Series: A family of three new high-end storage systems-FAS/V6280, FAS/V6240, and FAS/V6210-extends NetApp's unified architecture and provides double the performance, increased enterprise-class availability, and more scalability and flexibility. Customers can meet their mission-critical business requirements while responding to the rapid growth and pace of their business. NetApp FAS/V3200 Series: A family of three new midrange storage systems-FAS/V3270, FAS/V3240, and FAS/V3210-delivers one of the industry's most cost-effective platform for greater flexibility and efficiency, higher performance, and enterprise availability, to support today's midrange storage requirements and adapt to future changes. NetApp Solid State Drives (SSDs): In addition to its market-leading Flash Cache technology, the introduction of SSDs extends NetApp's portfolio to provide an option for customers who require consistently fast response times for mission-critical applications. The new SSDs deliver high input/output operations per second and the flexibility to use them for SAN or NAS without needing a gateway or different storage system. NetApp SAS Disk Shelf: NetApp's third-generation SAS-based shelf, the new DS2246, helps double the performance density, can provide up to 50% better power efficiency per rack unit, and offers strong resiliency and availability for enterprise storage needs. OnCommand Management Software Suite NetApp's new management suite, OnCommand, allows greater control and optimization of unified storage, automation for operational efficiency, and optimal flexibility with an open API that integrates with a variety of third-party management products and hypervisors. FlexPod Modular Data Center Solution As part of their ongoing collaboration, Cisco, NetApp, and VMware are offering a presized, validated, standardised data center architecture design that isavailable through select joint channel partners. FlexPod for VMware® helps customers accelerate their transformation to a virtualized, shared IT infrastructure with consistent and proven designs to simplify deployment and help reduce risk. In addition to the new product portfolio detailed above, NetApp introduced a simpler software pricing structure to make it easier for customers and partners to do business with NetApp. The new software pricing structure offers more value-added software for no additional cost as part of the base package, enhancing value and increasing flexibility for customers customising their infrastructure. Supporting Quotes Manish Goel, executive vice president of Product Operations, NetApp "Yesterday's technology strategies and approaches are inadequate for today's requirements. The market is moving toward a more flexible and efficient shared IT infrastructure, which is optimal for virtualization and cloud computing. Customers no longer ask if they need to move to this paradigm, they now ask when and how. And the answer is now and with NetApp. We were early to recognize this trend and are uniquely positioned to help customers successfully transition to a shared IT infrastructure, enabling them to make decisions today that will impact the long-term success of their business." Eddy Navarro, computer systems manager for Storage, JCVI "The science of genomics deals with staggering amounts of data and, on average, the amount of data we must store doubles every year. New sequencing technologies could increase our storage requirements by an order of magnitude. Our NetApp storage infrastructure helps us ensure our scientists have the data they need. Even when the amount of data grows exponentially, we can count on NetApp to deliver flexible, efficient storage, so that we can make the most of the dollars we get from our grants. This means JCVI can continue to lead efforts to conquer disease and improve the environment through genomics research." Mark Peters, senior analyst, Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) "Facing the dual challenges of flat IT budgets and exploding data growth, IT organizations need to keep pace with the business requirements of today yet also be ready to adapt and respond to the demands of tomorrow. The resulting urgency to employ more dynamic, flexible, and efficient IT approaches-including various cloud implementations-is being enabled by many new technologies that have matured, including those that NetApp is announcing here. These can be used to create a genuine shared IT infrastructure that combines the best of traditional and cloud approaches in order to allow organizations to seize new opportunities and ultimately to advance and accelerate their business objectives." Denis Maguire, Managing Director, Bridge IT Solutions (Australia) "IT Leaders are under incredible pressure to lower their costs while increasing the value and quality of services delivered to the business. It is Bridge's goal to offer solutions and services that provide customers with a genuine return on investment and long-term advantages.A shared infrastructure enables flexible IT which helps customers capitalise on new opportunities and develop strategies for long-term growth, enabling business breakthroughs. We are pleased to partner with NetApp and are excited by the promise of today's announcement, which will allow us to offer better services for customers, helping them go further, faster." Brendon Jarvis, General Manager, Strategic Growth, Empired (Australia) "As IT becomes more a part of mainstream business strategy, the expectations on IT departments to deliver real value back into the business increase exponentially.Our role is to work with customers to create an IT environment which provides value, speed and efficiency and ultimately delivers business agility.Our partnership with NetApp means we can make this a reality for customers through a flexible IT approach, which helps customers maintain a technology environment that can grow and evolve at the pace of their business." Jason Piszcyk, Technical Director IOCANE (Australia) "In the current business climate, our focus is on helping customers create a flexible IT environment and gain the most benefit from their technology investment.Working with NetApp allows us to partner with a best-of-breed vendor that is focused on providing an outstanding customer experience and delivering true business agility.

Giorgio Mustica of The Aquarian Weekly recently conducted an interview with drummer Daniel Svensson of Swedish metallers IN FLAMES. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
The Aquarian Weekly: It seems like the band has been coming to America pretty often the past few years. Is there something about coming here that you guys really enjoy? Daniel: We enjoy playing anywhere, but it's convenient touring in North America and we have a solid fan base that we've been building up since we started. We don't really mind touring; we can go wherever, basically. As long as there is a scene, we'll go. The U.S. and Canada have been treating us well, so we're happy to be back. The Aquarian Weekly: Your latest album has been received very well from both fans and the press. Have you paid attention to what the reaction is like? Daniel: Of course. We're really grateful that people are still supporting us, even though sometimes we experiment a little bit with the music, but our fans are really staying loyal to the band and we're really happy. But we try not to think too much about what people would think about the album while we're writing. It's most important that we can stand behind it and be proud of it. And we'll never release something that we can't stand behind. If people like it, that's a bonus, and they do, so we're happy. The Aquarian Weekly: Speaking of experimenting with the music, do you think the bands sound has changed much over the past few years? Daniel: Yeah, if you compare the first album with the last one, there's a big change, of course, but it's been a smooth transition in between every album. And we're not a band that wants to record the same album twice. We're not like AC/DC or IRON MAIDEN — they basically sound the same all the time, which, it's them — but we want to experiment a little bit and work in different ways when it comes to production and everything. We don't want to stagnate, we want to try new stuff all the time and of course, this album would change with that but it's not really any drastic change though, I would say. The Aquarian Weekly: What are your own personal thoughts about the album? Do you listen to it all in your spare time? Daniel: No, I don't listen to it. I did before but now when were touring and were playing the songs every night, I try to stay away from the songs when Im not playing them. But I'm really happy with the album and how it turned out. We put in a lot of work on the album, and since we have our own studio back home in Gothenburg, we can really sit and work 'till we're really satisfied. We don't have the time pressure that other bands can have when they record because they're renting time in the studio. But yeah, I can't be [happier] with the album than I am.

Dale Tooley's honorary street sign moves to Blake -- and avoids a collision
The late Dale Tooley -- longtime Denver District Attorney, one-time mayoral candidate and full-time Irishman -- is remembered every year in Denver, when a downtown street is officially, if temporarily, changed to Tooley Street for St. Patrick's Day. For years, the street sign at Wazee and 17th streets was the one switched out to honor Tooley. But this year, Mayor Michael Hancock and other notables headed over to 20th and Blake streets for the ceremony, which for the first time changed Blake rather than Wazee to Tooley Street.
The reasons for the switch are a little murky -- although most of the city's St. Patrick's Day Parade, will run along Blake rather than Wazee. (Years ago, it went through the heart of downtown, but lately, its been centered in the Ballpark Neighborhood.) And at the same time members of the city's Traffic Engineering Crew attached the sign they'd made, they also painted a nice green stripe down the middle of that parade route.
At least the move of Tooley Street to Blake neatly avoids another collision: Back in 2001, when Jack A. Weil, the founder of Rockmount Ranch Wear, turned 100, the street sign at the southeast corner of 17th and Wazee streets was changed to Jack A. Weil Boulevard. Weil was the oldest CEO in the country when he passed away in 2008, and the honorary sign in his honor is still up -- right across the street from the sign that used to be changed to Dale Tooley Street every March.
Denver's St. Patrick's Day Parade kicks off tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. at 27th and Blake; current DA Mitch Morrissey is the honorary grand marshal.
From the Calhoun: Wake-Up Call archive: "Jack A. Weil proved that the West is not a place, but a state of mind."

07/17/2007 New intel: Terror attacks against U.S. 'persistent and evolving threat' | ||
By Katherine Shrader and Anne Flaherty WASHINGTON D.C. — The terrorist network Al-Qaida will likely leverage its contacts and capabilities in Iraq to mount an attack on U.S. soil, according to a new National Intelligence Estimate on threats to the United States. The report lays out a range of dangers — from al-Qaida to Lebanese Hezbollah to non-Muslim radical groups — that pose a "persistent and evolving threat" to the country over the next three years. As expected, however, the findings focus most of their attention on the gravest terror problem: Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network. The report makes clear that al-Qaida in Iraq, which has not yet posed a direct threat to U.S. soil, could become a problem here. "Of note," the analysts said, "we assess that al-Qaida will probably seek to leverage the contacts and capabilities of al-Qaida in Iraq (AQI), its most visible and capable affiliate and the only one known to have expressed a desire to attack the homeland." The analysts also found that al-Qaida's association with its Iraqi affiliate helps the group to energize the broader Sunni Muslim extremist community, raise resources and recruit and indoctrinate operatives — "including for homeland attacks." National Intelligence Estimates are the most authoritative written judgments of the 16 spy agencies across the breadth of the U.S. government. These agencies reflect the consensus long-term thinking of top intelligence analysts. Portions of the documents are occasionally declassified for public release. The White House brushed off critics who allege the administration released the intelligence estimate at the same time the Senate is debating Iraq. White House press secretary Tony Snow pushed back at the critics Tuesday, saying they are "engaged in a little selective hearing themselves to shape the story in their own political ways." "We're trying to remind people is that this is a real threat. This is not an attempt to divert. As a matter of fact ... we would much rather — one of the things we'd like to do is call attention to the successes in the field" in Iraq, he said. Democrats said the report was proof U.S. anti-terrorism efforts were being drained by the Iraq war. "We must responsibly redeploy our troops out of Iraq, handing responsibility for security over to the Iraqis and leaving only those forces required for limited missions," said Rep. Ike Skelton, D-Mo., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee. "This will allow us to concentrate our efforts on Afghanistan and the al-Qaida terrorists who attacked us on 9/11." House Republican leader Rep. John Boehner of Ohio said the report confirms gains made by Bush and blamed Democrats for being too soft on terrorism. "Retreat is not a new way forward when the safety and security of future generations of Americans are at stake," he said in a statement. The new report echoed statements made by senior intelligence officials over the last year, including the assessment of spy agencies that the country is in a "heightened threat environment." It also provided new details on their thinking and concerns. For instance, the report says that worldwide counterterrorism efforts since 2001 have constrained al-Qaida's ability to attack the U.S. again and convinced terror groups that U.S. soil is a tougher target. But, the report quickly adds, analysts are concerned "that this level of international cooperation may wane as 9/11 becomes a more distant memory and perceptions of the threat diverge." Among the report's other findings: -Al-Qaida is likely to continue to focus on high-profile political, economic and infrastructure targets to cause mass casualties, visually dramatic destruction, economic aftershocks and fear. "The group is proficient with conventional small arms and improvised explosive devices and is innovative in creating new capabilities and overcoming security obstacles." -The group has been able to restore key capabilities it would need to launch an attack on U.S. soil: a safe haven in Pakistan's tribal areas, operational lieutenants and senior leaders. U.S. officials have warned publicly that a deal between the Pakistani government and tribal leaders allowed al-Qaida to plot and train more freely in parts of western Pakistan for the last 10 months. -The group will continue to seek weapons of mass destruction — chemical, biological or nuclear material — and "would not hesitate to use them." -Lebanese Hezbollah, a Shiite Muslim extremist group that has conducted anti-American attacks overseas, may be more likely to consider attacking here, especially if it believes the United States is directly threatening the group or its main sponsor, Iran. -Non-Muslim terrorist groups probably will attack here in the next several years, although on a smaller scale. The judgments don't name any specific groups, but the FBI often warns of violent environmental groups, such as Earth Liberation Front, and others. The publicly disclosed judgments, laid out over two pages, are part of a longer document, which remains classified. It was approved by the heads of all 16 intelligence agencies on June 21. In the last week, reports on this document and another threat assessment on al-Qaida's resurgence have renewed the debate in Washington about whether the Bush administration is on the right course in its war on terror, particularly in Iraq. The White House has used the reports as evidence that the country must continue to go after al-Qaida in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. But critics say the evolving threat is evidence of a policy gone wrong. The debate — and the underlying global problem — will not go away soon. The high-level estimate notes that the spread of radical ideas, especially on the Internet, growing anti-U.S. rhetoric and increasing numbers of radical cells throughout Western countries indicate the violent segments of the Muslim populations is expanding. "The arrest and prosecution by U.S. law enforcement of a small number of violent Islamic extremists inside the United States ... points to the possibility that others may become sufficiently radicalized that they will view the use of violence here as legitimate," the estimate said. "We assess that this internal Muslim terrorist threat is not likely to be as severe as it is in Europe, however." | ||

BIGinsight, a consumer research firm, recently released the latest iteration of its Consumer Equity Index, which identifies how different retailers are viewed by various market segments. In this case, they polled more than 9,000 women for their opinions about which stores they prefer when it comes to clothes shopping.
Of the top 10 apparel retailers, nine either held steady or gained in market share among women between September 2011 and September 2012. Only J.C. Penney lost ground during that period -- which more or less coincides with Johnson's first year in charge. During that 12-month span, the number of women identifying J.C. Penney as their favorite clothing store dropped more than 13%.
Pam Goodfellow, consumer insights director for BIGinsight, says that this translates to about 1.3 million women ditching J.C. Penney as their favorite shopping destination. While Penney's still ranks third in the category behind Walmart (WMT) and Kohl's (KSS), she says there's little doubt that it will soon be passed by Macy's (M) for the bronze medal in the category.
"I think what's hurt J.C. Penney is that they've taken away these deals and coupons," says Goodfellow, referring to Johnson's new -- and widely pilloried -- "fair and square" pricing strategy. "Shoppers are still very much gravitating toward promos and deals ... When you're receiving Macy's coupons in the mail, you have more incentive to head over there."

Macy's | |
J.C. Penney | |

"Shoppers have been educated to expect those gimmicks and give them a reason to head out to the mall," she says. "Given the type of retailer [J.C. Penney is], these promos are what motivate shoppers."

NO MAN'S LAND, Danis Tanovic's black comedy about the absurd futility of war, is a prime example of why I adore films from the former
And they are devastatingly funny and not just because of the joke playing out on the screen. At root, it is the absurdity of two strangers with neither having any personal quarrel with the other taking up arms and trying to kill each other because another stranger with a higher rank has told them to. It is a particular manifestation, a distillation of the weariness of war. It is savage whimsy.
In this case, set in 1993, about three soldiers, one Serb and two Bosnians trapped in a trench between enemy lines. How they got there has to do with being lost in a fog and reckless boredom. The Serb is Nino (Rene Bitorajac), a perky neophyte who's so new to the war that, in a joke that never fails to hit the spot, he keeps trying to introduce himself to people who know better than to get to know their fellow soldiers. The Bosnians are Chiki (Branco Djuric), a cynical vet in a Rolling Stones T-shirt, and Cera (Filip Sovagovic), who thanks to Nino's fellow Serbian soldier, finds himself laying atop a mine that will explode if he gets up, a mine that will kill not only Cera, but everyone else in the trench. Talk about another great metaphor. And, of course, if they try to leave, one side or another will mow them down.
The enemy lines taking a bead on them can't figure out what?s going on and, truth be told, they care even less, torn as they are between tedium and inertia. That goes for the UN peacekeeping forces, too, who are eventually involved, reluctantly, of course. A supercillious UN commander with the evocative name of Soft, played to perfection by Simon Callow, begs off making a decision on what if anything needs to be done, saying that his superiors are away at a media relations workshop. Finally, a sad-eyed Georges Siatidis as a UN sergeant from
The tragedy amid the chaos is laid bare when it becomes obvious that the people with good intentions, and we all know where good intentions lead, aren't going to help. Even the savvy, hard-bitten British reporter played with brittle integrity by Katrin Cartlidge, misses the story right under her nose.

General Comment: Seaon is a fantastic dancer and a excellent teacher and this video series show all his talent. If you are a beginner you can be sure you will get the right technique from the start. If you are at intermediate or even advanced level, you can still benefit from all the style tips and details of the body and hand movement. Some good dancers (including Amanda) demonstrate the steps together with Seaon, which also helps to give variety and see the different personal styles. The video is similar to Eddie Torres' ones, both in organization, style and theme. I like videos which not only show the material, but also the technique and the style, and Seaon has them all. Reviewed by Fabio from SalsaIsGood - Recommended Level 3 - FootworkLevel: Int-Adv Style: NY Content: Shines, with style tips. General Comment: When it comes to shines not many in the world can compare to Seaon. This video is fantastic. It contains several standard mambo shines, with strong Eddie Torres influence. Some of the shines were part of the Eddie Torres Dancers' performance repertoire. But nothing is standard when decorated by Seaon.You will find plenty of style tips and inspiration. Ladies will be able to find ispiration for their own styling from Amanda. All shines are first broken down in details from Seoan and them demonstrated by himself, plus Amanda and another very good male dancer. A top quality video.

I could watch this video over and over again. Seaon and Amanda are fantastic. The figures are nice, but they turn them into magic by adding styles, decoration and cahracter. The instructions are superb as well, plenty of details, tips for styling and many slow repetitions to allow you to follow. And at the end, enjoy Seoan and Amanda free interpretation. A must have.

General Comment: If you have ever seen Seaon's spinning you will just wish you can steal his tricks. This video is the best you can get along the way. Seaon explanations are nice, remarkably humble and precise. Several different kinds of spins, of progressive difficulty are covered. Plenty of repetitions will allow you to follow the video and try the spins with Seaon. A good video from a master.

General Comment: Reviewed by Fabio from SalsaIsGood - Recommended Ultimate styling for Mambo and Salsa dancers (with Amanda Estilo)Level: Adv Style: NY Content: Styling for men and ladies.. General Comment: This DVD does not contain any turn pattern, rather it focuses on styling which you can incorporate in your dancing. These sorts of products are well needed in the salsa literature, but they are very hard to produce. There is an intrinsic contradiction between teaching some styling inevitably inspired by a talented dancers on the one side and developing a student's own expressivity on the other. Seaon, with his customary humbleness and wisdom, circumvents the tricky challenge and teaches some tricks he performs with the equally talented Amanda Estilo. They call them 'exercises', which implies you should use them only as a training tool, but any development will be on your shoulders. Seaon and Amanda are masters at styling, so with this DVD you can be sure you are learning from among the very best around. However, Seaon and Amanda are also very flamboyant, so certain styling ideas may be more suited for the stage than your daily nightclub, unless you are far less shy than I, at least. It is a fairly short DVD, some 30 minutes, with 8 exercises, equally challenging male and female students. I will not execute those ideas on the dance floor, but maybe by practising them I may develop more modest versions.. surely worth a try. Reviewed by Fabio from SalsaIsGood - Good Shines for Cha Cha Cha, Vol 1 (with Amanda Estilo)Level: Beg-adv Style: NY Content: Shines and tyling for men and ladies. General Comment:I can't help being biased when it comes to Seaon's DVDs, which I believe is most reasonable; he is one of my favourite dancers and instructors, whose DVDs I hold as among the best. The fact that this new series goes back to the roots by incorporating Amanda a peer instructor makes this even more compelling. According to Seaon's own words, this is a beginner's introduction to cha cha cha for dancers already familiar with basic salsa. He and Amanda take you from the very basic steps, On2, to very popular simple shines, to less common ones, all seasoned with rich styling, body motions, hands decoration and the like. The structure of the DVD goes back to Eddie Torres' original videos, so styling is demonstrated individually from Amanda and Seaon, who focus on lady's and men's styling at its very best. The apparent simplicity of the shines explained in this DVD may be misleading; while an average dancer will probably master the footwork fairly quickly, it will take common mortals more than the allocated life time to equal the body styling, so there is plenty to learn for dancers of any level. And if the guys may find Seaon's body expressivity a bit over the top for an average dance floor, again worry not, since most likely Nature will ensure that your body executes much narrower movements, resulting is suitably tamed versions of the same. I like the windows containing written comments and hints on how to interpret and make the shines comes to life, which you can read while the material is demonstrated to music and will surely not annoy you as if they were spoken, should you decide to watch this DVD over and over, as I will surely do. Reviewed by Fabio from SalsaIsGood - Good Best of Partnerwork II (with Amanda Estilo)Level: Adv Style: NY Content: Turn Patterns. General Comment: Seaon and Amanda are among the best stylists and spinners in the international salsa circle. This is very much reflected in their turn patterns, in which the emphasis is not in the cleverness or intricacy of the turn patterns themselves, rather in giving space to the dancers to style, decorate and.. spin!! This DVD contains 6 turn patters in which Seaon and Amanda show all their talent. If you are into adding to your bag of tricks, you may get disappointed, since you will not find much here which is not standard in most advanced dancers' repertoire. However, if styling, and in particular very flamboyant styling, is what you are interested in, you will surely find plenty to inspire you. The DVD is organized as a sort of interactive workshop. The turn patterns are explained by breaking down all elements and repeating them several times; then learning the next element and repeating from the top. Basically it is expected that you watch the DVD while you practice the material 'together' with Seaon and Amanda, as if you were in a class. Details are well explained and you will receive plenty of hints on how to style both the male and female parts. The closest you can get to a group class from Seaon and Amanda if you can not get to the real 'thing' Reviewed by Fabio from SalsaIsGood - Good Best of Footwork II (with Amanda Estilo)Level: Adv Style: NY Content: Shines. General Comment: This DVD contains 7 shines, designed by Seaon and Amanda, taught by Seaon and demonstrated mostly by both. The material is quite rich, each shine covering more than 8 bars of music and characterized by moves of disparate inspiration, from classic mambo, to rumba, to jazz and even flamenco. Everything is, as expected, 'flamboyantly' Seaon, and both Seaon and Amanda are in their element by showing body and hip decorations which may be too 'daring' for more self-conscious dancers, but which you obviously can adapt to your personality, as Seaon himself shows occasionally. The explanation is good, focusing on each component (feet, body, hands), to which Seaon has accustomed us, and, as in other DVDs, he goes through each move several times both from the front and the back, so that you can follow him while watching the DVD. After the explanations either Seaon or Seaon and Amanda dance the shine to music which makes it come alive and shows that even simple moves in the right hands (or feet) can look really special. If you like the rest of Seaon's production, you will like this one. Reviewed by Fabio from SalsaIsGood - Good |

Volcano Country
Current location : Gattières, France
12/Mar/09 to 15/Mar/09 : from Surabaya up to Mt. Bromo, East Java
Since the start of my trail to Australia, I've criss-crossed different landscapes – from deserts to mountains to jungles – but never got anywhere near to volcanoes. When the ferry from Kalimantan let me off late afternoon in Surabaya port, Java, suddenly I was in Volcano Country – there're more than 40 volcanoes on the island of Java, at least 20 are considered active, and these actives ones don't seem too far away …. according to my map. It'll be a shame to ride pass it – it'll be like "going to Paris without seeing Eiffel Tower". Bali can wait.
Guess which is my horse ?
Meanwhile, riding on Java's main trunk roads is similar to riding in India. It took 2 hrs to get to the eastern outskirts of Surabaya city, another 2-1/2 hrs in the early nightfall zig-zagging between long queues of trucks : total 4-1/2 hrs for 150km covered to get to Probolinggo. Tired.
Yes, I like to ride up there
Next day, I turned towards eastern Java's Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park, where Mt. Bromo is located. The Tengger people, with their fascinating cultural history and their Hindu religion roots, live here on the fertile highlands. These are very friendly and simple farming folks. What's amazing are the sights of unending hill slopes of vegetable plots, the slow pace of life and the spectacular views of the trio Mt. Bromo, Mt. Semeru, Mt. Batok from the village of Cemoro Lawang at the edge of the caldera.
Kicking up sand in the caldera
Mt. Bromo is a beautiful active volcano – quite stunning against a clear morning sky. I couldn't help but enjoy rambling around its "sea-of-sand", even up to the crater (well, almost) during my 3 days stay. I like this place … well worth a re-visit in the future … if it doesn't blow off its top (the crater is currently off limits to visitors due to high seismic activity).

Hello Everyone! Suzanne gave us this this awesome sketch to play with this week! I very seldom used sketches in the past, but finding they make card making a whole lot easier at times.
I just love this stamp from the Elisabeth Bell's Spring Sampler 2011 Set. A Letter To A Friend, All my relatives live in other states and I daydream of days gone by when I send birthday cards or write letters and so this was perfect for my friends birthday card!
I left home 10 days ago and in my haste to get everything ready for postings, I forgot to write down the paper and Copics colors. My flowers are Prima's. The birthday sentiment was embossed with Stewart Superior Fine Detail Embossing Powder gold. Image was cut and embossed with Nestabilities Classic Large Circles.
Don't forget to check out the rest of the DT's cards below mine for awesome inspirations! Have a safe and great day!

I have my Winchester model 190, its an awesome little .22 but I am looking for something a little more fun. This is nothing I can afford anytime soon (or even find one), but I'm curious to see what people think. I'm looking to stray away from the standard rifle. I want to be a little different have something no one has really seen before (at least around here).http://www.thegunsource.com/store/item/77083_Rifles_Shotguns_American_Tactical_Imports_GS G-5_Rifle__MP5_Clone_in.aspxhttp://www.thegunsource.com/store/item/77075_Rifles_Shotguns_Kel-Tec_KEL_SU22CA___SU-22_RIFLE_.aspx Which would be the better gun? I narrowed it down to two american made companies. Not going to buy any of that Taiwan or Portuguese knock off crud...

the gsg-5 variant but check this out its a rem 597 and a soft air modification
Wars begin where u will But they do not end where you please-Machiavelli He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man- Dr. Johnson "..it does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.." - Samuel Adams your my best friend but if the zombies start chasing us im tripping you
Thats sweet. I would love some more info on that modification. Where to get it and how much does it cost? I understand of it was a simple stock modification, but I dont understand the soft air conversion? Its also a good chance ill be selling my Hi point 995 to buy one of these. So I would actually like more ideas like this.
trust me if i knew more about it, 1 iwould already be modifying mine and 2, i would let you know. when i get more info ill send you a pm
heres a pic of the dissasembled parts i just cant figure what he did that was so speacial
"'Did you ever wonder why we had to run for shelter when the promise of a brave new world unfurled beneath a clear blue sky? " Roger WatersVote freedom, join the Libertarian Party.
Heh. Where did you get those pictures? I wonder if he literally took an air soft gun and wrapped it around that gun?..
i hope its not that easy, if thats all he did ill proly give up on the whole thing
Really? Would federals work? They seem to like every gun I own.. I really like that GSG-5. I would also upgrade the stock on it. I really do want accuracy and reliability to though .

An eclectic and mind boggling array of instruments float behind what can only be described as one hell of a pleasant trip in this expansive Japanese import. With Pigments Drift Down to the Brook, 4 Bonjour's Parties has delivered an incredible debut: unique vocals (sung both in English and Japanese) complement everything from stellar electronics to even the most obscure of wind instruments. The final product provides an amazingly varied aural experience that still manages to maintain a cohesive full-album feel. Not once did anything sound abrasive or out of place, which only contributed to an already incredible and pleasing listen. There is nothing quite like this on the market today, and with a debut album of this caliber, these folks are not likely to disappear from the radar anytime soon. -Slug |
