Released: Oct 01st, 1990
Running Time: 85
Director: Eselle Ferrand
Company: Filmco
Marc Radcliff, Bionca (I), Cassi Nova, Tim Lowe, Sharon Kane
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
It's weird when a feature starts off with a lesbian scene. Bionca and Sharon Kane work in a physician's referral office, and when their day is done, they do each other in the office even though they live together and can do it as well at home. Bionca also runs a phone service called 976-KINK, which is about the cleverest bit in the feature. Nova calls, and as a joke Bionca tells her to have sex with two guys who are having sex with each other. Cassie calls her brother, who is bisexual, and you guessed it.
There are some interesting twists to this well-photographed, well-edited feature, such as a steamy daisy chain, but for the most part there is nothing new. And although this bi-sex feature is slanted toward the hetero audience, it is sad to say that the best performances are athletically delivered by the males, whether jamming the ladies or each other. The ladies just don't seem to be very interested.


text: Quote: Schaubs options predetermined Theres a misconception that Matt Schaub cant change plays at the line of scrimmage. In the loss to Seattle, Schaub checked out of a lot of situations, according to coach Gary Kubiak. The Texans dont use conventional audibles where the quarterback can change the play and call what he wants based on the defense. Schaub has a lot of freedom at the line of scrimmage. When the Texans are in their hurry-up offense, Schaub calls everything at the line of scrimmage. Otherwise, the Texans use predetermined options that are set by the coaches. Schaub may call two plays in the huddle based on what the coverage might be. He can check out of one and go with the other at the line of scrimmage. Kubiak created confusion on Monday when he was asked if Schaub could have checked out of the bootleg call that resulted in him forcing a pass to tight end Owen Daniels that was returned for a touchdown that tied the score 20-20. Schaub should have thrown the ball away with blitzing strong safety Kam Chancellor in his face. Asked if Schaub could have called an audible, Kubiak said, No, once we called it, started the motion, it was game on.

Re: 8800gtx overclock
The "color" of the paste on the core was grey but a really thick layer (2mm at least), and since AS5 is grey as well I bet they couldn´t tell a difference at all. The paste on the ram/voltage regulators was white mixed with some type of cloth, but I guess you could carefully pull that junk off and store it somewhere and put it back in case you had to do a RMA.
Save temperature seems to be the one that doesn´t cause any artifacts. I heard from guys that were running 90C at load (and stock clocks) and didn´t see any artifacts in games or benchmarks but on hot days I was getting artifacts at 70C (and 660/2050) in some benchmarks but thats with the HR03+. I´m pretty sure my voltage is holding me back and not really the heatsink.
As long as your card doesn´t cause artifacts or BSODs and goes above 90-100C, I´m sure you are not doing any damage to it. I believe the same rule applies for the shader clock as well.

After reading my blog post this week about new limits on prerecorded telemarketing calls, Shaun Dakin pointed out that Minnesota is one of a handful of states that goes further than the feds by banning virtually all robocalls, including those from politicians. Dakin is the head of a Washington-based group dedicated to stopping prerecorded politicos, and the web site features links and audio to those voted the most offensive in the last election cycle.
Dakin's reference to Minnesota's law also explained to me why the recorded voice of Minneapolis schools superintendent Bill Green came out of my phone a few times over the past year. Here are the exceptions to the Minnesota robocall ban:
This section and section 325E.30 do not apply to (1) messages from school districts to students, parents, or employees, (2) messages to subscribers with whom the caller has a current business or personal relationship, or (3) messages advising employees of work schedules.

Comments about NRS Youth Hooded Rio Top Paddle Jacket - Closeout:
Immediately took it on a sea kayak trip. Having a hood in AK is really nice, when it rains its not warm. Great price and simple design makes it worth getting for kids who will grow out of it quick. Wrist gaskets made their life paddling and fishing from the kayak much drier.
It would be nice if it had a waist drawcord like the adult model. The kids want to know why it doesn't have one.

Comments about NRS Youth Hooded Rio Top Paddle Jacket - Closeout:
I'd been trying to find some decent rain gear for kids for quite a while with no luck. This was a pretty good find. It's built to last, and is definitely a step above what you can usually find for children. The only downside is that it isn't as breathable as I would have liked.

COLUMBIA- The Rock Bridge girls basketball team overcame a sluggish first half on Friday night to defeat visiting Kirksville by the score of 62-50.
Katherine Harry led No. 8 Rock Bridge (16-6) with a team-high 17 points.
"She means a great deal," said Amaya Williams, a sophomore guard for the Bruins. "She blocks shots, rebounds and makes the defense collapse on her, which leads to outside shots."
Leading 16-8 after the first quarter, the Bruins essentially fell apart in the second. Timely three-point shooting from the Lady Tigers and the Bruins' inability to take care of the ball led to a 26-24 halftime deficit for Rock Bridge.
The Bruins made some adjustments at halftime that turned the game around.
"We really felt it was the execution of lay-ups," Rock Bridge coach Jill Nagel said. "We were getting great looks and the guards were doing a good job of getting it into the post. We just couldn't finish."
In the second half, the Bruins experience paid dividends. Ten out of 11 players on the Rock Bridge squad are either seniors or juniors. And with the game remaining close midway through the third quarter, the Bruins started to pull away.
"We need to get those close games under our belts," Nagel said. "We felt that down the stretch we had 'been there, done that.' We knew that we were physically and mentally stronger.".
Williams, the Bruins' second-leading scorer, provided a nice spark off the bench in the second half. She didn't play until the third quarter due to tendonitis in her left knee that has limited her playing time.
"She normally starts. We are trying to rest her," Nagel said. I felt like we needed a spark and she can provide that. It looks like it didn't hurt her too much."
Williams said that sometimes a little change helps the team, and that when she is out there playing tough defense her team usually follows.
The Bruins' pressure, trapping-style defense forced Kirksville into 16 turnovers.
The loss ends Kirksville's (11-8) two-game winning streak. The Lady Tigers were led by Sadye Wichmann's game-high 18 points.
Rock Bridge has a week off before they travel to face St. Teresa's Academy on the road next Friday night.

Open Compliance Program Releases New Resources
Additional paper from Ibrahim Haddad added to the foundation's collection.
The Linux Foundation announced the inclusion of additional resource materials for their Open Compliance Program.
The Open Compliance Program was announced in August at LinuxCon 2010. The program is designed to decrease the legal concerns present in open source adoption by providing tools, training, documentation, self-assessmetn checklists, and a standard license report format, , so that open source adopters could instantly identify the type of license and the terms they were then subject to within any open source product.
Since that announcement the foundation has had three papers available on the publications page, covering software compliance, good FOSS practices, and challenges and kernel development. Now, the program has additional material from Ibrahim Haddad, Ph.D. A respected writer, Dr. Haddad's newest contribution to the Linux Foundation's Open Compliance Program documentation is a paper titled "A Glimpse Into Recommended Practices in a FOSS Compliance Management Process." The paper can be freely downloaded here.
The Linux Foundation expects additional resources by year's end including the second part of Dr. Hassad's paper. On October 1, the Open Compliance Program released the self-assessment checklists as a free download.

Title: | The Reptiles of Nauru. |
Author: | Buden, Donald W. |
Date: | 2008-10 |
Publisher: | Honolulu, University of Hawaii Press |
Citation: | Buden DW. The Reptiles of Nauru. Pac Sci 62(4): 499-508. |
Abstract: | Eleven species of reptiles are reported from Nauru in the first systematic treatment of the herpetofauna. Four of the species are marine; the seven others include six lizards (four geckos, two skinks) and one snake. Gehyra mutilata (Wiegman), G. oceanica (Lesson), Pelamis platura (Linnaeus), and Ramphotyphlops braminus (Daudin) are recorded on Nauru for the first time. With the exception of Emoia arnoensis Brown & Marshall, which is endemic to eastern Micronesia, the herpetofauna consists of species that range widely among the west-central Pacific Ocean islands. The only known record of E. arnoensis from Chuuk possibly is based on a misassigned locality, in which case the range of the species would be limited to the Marshall Islands, Nauru, and Kosrae. There is no evidence to suggest that habitat modification on Nauru stemming largely from more than a century of phosphate mining has reduced the number of reptile species. |

Concerts celebrate the season during Joslyn Art Museum's Annual Holiday Under Glass Series
By Cheril Lee
Omaha, NE – The 17th annual Holiday Under Glass series is underway at the Joslyn Art Museum.
Communications Manager Amy Rummel says the 2010 series is scheduled for Wednesdays and Fridays through December 17th. Concerts run from Noon to 12:45 in the Museum's atrium. Rummel says the programs will feature holiday favorites and classical arrangements. She says featured groups include the River City Ringers and the Central High Singers and Bel Canto. Rummel says the series features "some young musicians all the way through high school and college age this year." She says the concerts are included with Museum admission.
The next Holiday Under Glass concert takes place tomorrow (Friday) at Noon and features the Creighton University Chamber Choir. A complete schedule is available online at joslyn.org.

Knife Sharpening
Rewards Program
Beignets and Cafe au Lait
1 package active dry yeast
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
1 1/4 cups warm milk (110 degrees)
1 egg, beaten
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
Oil for frying
Powdered sugar for dusting
5 cups of Cafe du Monde Chicory Coffee, hot
5 cups whole milk, hot
Preheat the fryer to 360 degrees F. In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with a dough hook, add the yeast, sugar, shortening, and milk, mix for 2 minutes. Add the egg. Mix well. Add 4 cups of the flour and salt. Beat at low speed until all of the flour is incorporated, about 1 minute. Then beat at medium speed until the mixture forms a ball, leaves the sides of the bowl, and climbs up the dough hook.
Remove the dough from the bowl. Using your hands, form the dough into a smooth ball. Lightly oil a bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and turn it to oil all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm, draft-free place until it doubles in size, about 2 hours.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat the dough into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Lightly dust the surface of the dough. Roll out the rectangle to 12 1/2 inches long by 10 inches wide and about 1/4-inch thick. With a sharp knife, cut the dough into twenty 2 1/2-inch square beignets.
Fry the beignets, a couple at a time until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove and drain on a paper towels. Sprinkle the beignets with powdered sugar and serve. Fill each cup with 1/2 cup of coffee and 1/2 cup of the hot milk. Stir well.
Serve the coffee with the beignets. Yield: 10 servings Emeril Lagasse

Calvin _ December 09, 2011 10:10 AM So, the Tech3 is now a factory bike? Reply Report abuse 0 agree 1 disagree
FredGassit December 09, 2011 10:48 AM Good to see she enjoyed the experience.She is honest in her outlook, and assessment of what it may take to get females on the grid.Is it true her first race was Daytona, she must have big.....now what would she have.... Reply Report abuse 3 agree 1 disagree
Jake - Unregistered December 09, 2011 12:04 PM What I'd like to see is simply a female that gets press on the merits of her riding and results and not the fact that she is female and good looking. It's really simple if a female offers a team the best chance at winning she will get a top ride. But that isn't the case. And women like Melissa don't help the situation. I am not anti-Melissa, I knew her a bit before she went AMA and she's really nice. But honestly if based purely on her results and not that she is female and married to a high profile rider she wouldn't get the attention that she gets.Not quite to the same extent but still the same is Elena Myers. She gets more press and attention then the guys that are beating her. As far as I am concerned once you put on a helmet and get on the bike it's about talent not sexuality. To date no woman has shown she can compete with the top guys. That's just the fact 14 agree 5 disagree
Dutch69Camaro - Unregistered December 09, 2011 12:34 PM @Jake. In in ideal world that would be the case, but this has always been the case to some extend. Take a look at Karel Abraham, he is where he is because of his fathers money. He sure does pretty good, no question about it, but there are better riders out there that could be there in his place.Now Melissa might not have a lot of money to bring, but she brings something else to her sponsors. I don't think it is any more of a problem than that of someone who brings money. She is honest about the fact that because she is famale it does open doors...but she also knows that to get to the top it will take a lot more than that... 19 agree 1 disagree
MM - Unregistered December 09, 2011 1:06 PM Think Dutch has a fair point! And the fact that she is not posing for pictures wearing bikinis do count on her favor on that matter too! Hope she can do well next year. 4 agree 1 disagree
kirk66 - Unregistered December 09, 2011 1:22 PM If Melissa is good then Elena is a future champion. The differences between the two are huge. Melissa is a good racer that will ALWAYS be a mid-pack finisher. Elena has the ability to consistanly be in the top 10 and many times in the top 5. She's under 20 and the sky's the limit. The biggest obstacle for both women is upper body strength endurance for world class racing. Without it they will race hard and fast at first then fade in the last 5 laps. Good training is the future of female motorbike racing. 4 agree 4 disagree
jake - Unregistered December 09, 2011 1:25 PM @dutch. Fair enough.no doubt I am a realist. but there is a difference between getting an opportunity and having talent. In the case of Karel yes is family's money got him the opportunity and he did as good if not slightly better then expected. No body expected him to win or poduim or be a front runner.but then you take Paris. Fair enough being a female gets her sponsors, rides and press. But she hasn't come anywhere close to delivering. Male or female that is what I have a problem with.People complain about the lack of competition in racing and are quick to blame electronics. But are just as quick to ignore the fact that the best riders aren't always getting the best shot at a good ride 5 agree 2 disagree
jake - Unregistered December 09, 2011 1:31 PM It's not just with females either. I remember back in 2000 when Ducati gave Bostrom the factory SBK ride over Baylis when it was clear to anyone with eyes that Baylis was the better rider. But Bostrom was more "marketable". It's the same with teams needing a Spanish rider or German rider ,etc......I understand it's a business. But it is still supposed to be a sport. So it's very annoying to me when I see a rider who finishes 7th ot 8th get more press and opportunities that the rider that won more races and the title.again nothing against Melissa, I've ridden with her. but the thing is, she is what she is... a very average rider. If woman want to compete aganist men then they should be held to the same standard or what's the point? If I were racing and got her results no one would give a damn 7 agree 2 disagree
booboo - Unregistered December 09, 2011 3:21 PM @jake Not to be to rude just pointing out the obvious. Nobody gives a damn now. I say to Melissa, you go girl. If I was given a chance to ride an m1 because I had 3 testicles it really wouldn't bother me if I couldn't ride better than mid pack or dead last. I'd get on it and ride, and would care less what anyone else thought. 6 agree 2 disagree
bri t December 09, 2011 3:31 PM Humm surprised the M1 feels closer to a 125 or 250 stroker than an R6. Reply Report abuse 0 agree 2 disagree

Do You Get Too Distracted by Your Cell Phone?
Have You Suffered From "Inattention Blindness"?
Like us on Facebook
Thankfully I've yet to suffer any distraction-related injuries, but will cop to a few close calls with other pedestrians while walking down the street and using my phone. A psychology professor quoted in the article calls the phenomenon "inattention blindness," meaning a person can be looking at something but simply not process it due to distraction. Has this ever happened to you? And have you ever suffered any real injuries while using a gadget because you weren't paying enough attention to your surroundings?

Nike Century Jacket
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
Sweet windbreaker. Not a winter jacket at all. Great for early season/late season dry, warm days. It is cut long which is nice. I get complements on it all the time. I'm 5'7" and the Med is perfect for riding but a bit large to wear daily. 5 stars if you already have a winter jacket.

Hugh Jackman is the star with the sexiest facial hair, a new poll shows.
The 44-year-old actor - who most recently sported thick facial hair in the Oscar nominated 'Les Miserables' - has topped a poll to find the celebrity with the most attractive beard beating a host of other famous hunks to the title.
In second place was stubbly Bradley Cooper, David Beckham - who is currently sporting designer stubble - came third, while grey-bearded George Clooney and Ben Affleck, who has full face fuzz, rounded off the top five.
The vote of 1,000 people was conducted by the UK's leading hair transplant centre, the Crown Clinic in Manchester, and surgeon Dr. Asim Shahmalak insists Hugh is a worthy winner.
Dr. Shahmalak - who is a hair loss expert on British TV show 'Embarrassing Bodies' - said: "Hugh Jackman looks great whatever kind of facial hair he has - stubble, a moustache or a beard ... For many men, growing a beard or designer stubble defines their masculinity. It is not surprising that more than six out of 10 believe they look sexier with some form of facial hair."
Just as Hugh was named the star with the sexiest facial hair, Brad Pitt was voted the famous hunk with the least attractive beard.
Brad's greying goatee was a turn-off for women, while second-placed Joaquin Phonenix's wild chin bush and third-placed Simon Le Bon's new extravagant handlebar moustache also failed to impress the ladies.
Top 10 sexiest stars with facial hair:
1. Hugh Jackman
2. Bradley Cooper
3. David Beckham
4. George Clooney
5. Ben Affleck
6. Johnnny Depp
7. Bradley Wiggins
8. Robert Pattinson
9. Russell Brand
10. Colin Farrell
Top five stars with least sexy facial hair:
1. Brad Pitt
2. Joaquin Phoenix
3. Simon Le Bon
4. Jim Carrey
5. Jonathan Ross

Moving company
A moving company, removalist, or van line is a company that helps people and businesses move their goods from one place to another.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 40 million Americans have moved annually over the last decade.[1] Of those people who have moved in the United States, 84.5% of them have moved within their own state, 12.5% have moved to another state and 2.3% have moved to another country.[citation needed]
In the US and Canada the cost, for long distance moves, is typically determined by the weight of the items needing to be moved, the distance, how quickly the items are to be moved, and the time of the year or month which the move occurs. In the UK and Australia the standard forming the price is the volume of the items, instead of the weight. Some movers may offer flat rate pricing.
The use of truck rental services, or simply borrowing similar hardware, is referred to as DIY moving in Australia, New Zealand and the UK. The parties moving borrow or rent a truck or trailer large enough to carry the load of household goods to be relocated and, if necessary, obtaining moving equipment such as dollies, furniture pads and cargo belts to protect the furniture and make things easier to move.[2]
It also involves finding or buying materials such as boxes, paper, tape and bubble wrap with which to pack boxable and/or fragile household goods for their protection and for compact carrying and stacking on moving day. Self-service moving companies offer another viable option: The person moving buys space on one or more trailers or shipping containers.[3] These large containers, often up to 53' feet in length, are driven by professionals to the new location. The renters of the trailer or truck often sell or lease accessories such as furniture blankets, tie down straps, packing material, dollies and ramps.

Stephen Biddle, an expert on defense and counter-insurgency policy, says President Obama's decision to add four thousand troops to train Afghan troops is "a reasonable first step," dictated in part by the military's concern about military resources in Iraq. He says Obama's emphasis on defeating al-Qaeda is an effort to keep the U.S. public and military focused on the ultimate objective accomplished by subduing Taliban forces in Afghanistan--reducing the potentially-grave threat to neighboring Pakistan's stability. Biddle says: "Our primary influence over what happens in Pakistan is arguably by preventing Afghanistan from collapsing and becoming a haven for the destabilization of Pakistan, where al-Qaeda is currently operating."
President Obama gave his long-awaited report last Friday on how his administration plans to attack the troubling situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan. �What was your impression?
I think it's a reasonable first step in Afghanistan. I say this because I think it's more useful to see it as a first step than as a final once-and-for-all strategy. In part, this is because there continues to be important other demands on those troops and resources in Iraq; therefore there are limits on the rate at which one can safely shift these resources from Iraq to Afghanistan. Obama has so far committed seventeen thousand new troops for combat and other activities to Afghanistan, as well as four thousand for training Afghan troops. So I think what we're looking at now is an initial step, limited, among other things, by the demands for resources in Iraq. The two commands will reevaluate the situation over time and may very well end up deciding that they need further reinforcements on the Afghan side as those become available.
What struck me was the emphasis in the president's Afghan speech on how we were fighting al-Qaeda. Al-Qaeda has its headquarters more or less in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas�of Pakistan. Why do you think there was so much emphasis on al-Qaeda and not on the Taliban, with whom the United States and Afghan troops are fighting?
I would not interpret the president's comments to mean that our military activities are going to be limited to al-Qaeda or even disproportionately directed at al-Qaeda, per se. The way I interpret what the president said was that the ultimate purpose of being involved in Afghanistan against an enemy, which is mostly Taliban, is because that effort is necessary in order to pursue the more important, underlying objective of reducing al-Qaeda's global threat to the United States. I think what he's trying to do is keep the public focused, and for that matter, keep the military focused on the ultimate objective.
The reason we muck around with the Taliban is because if we don't, we're afraid that failure in Afghanistan will enable al-Qaeda � and especially make it more likely that al-Qaeda and its allies could topple the government of Pakistan and get access to Pakistan's nuclear weapons.
How closely do the Taliban and al-Qaeda coordinate, do you think?
Only partially, at best. There are a number of different actors involved in South Asia that are kind of loosely affiliated with one another, including the former Taliban government of Afghanistan, based primarily now in Quetta, in the province of Balochistan in Pakistan, still led by Mullah Omar. There is the Haqqani father and son terrorist network located in North Waziristan. And they include, of course, Osama bin Laden and his al-Qaeda organization. Connections between those groups are imperfect. One of the reasons to be relatively sanguine about the prospects for U.S. efforts in Afghanistan is the difficulties these groups have in coordinating their activities. The issue with respect to the focus on al-Qaeda has to do with the difference between intermediate and ultimate objectives.
Talk first about these objectives.
In the intermediate term, a lot of our military activities are focused on Taliban organizations that are not literally al-Qaeda. They coordinate imperfectly with al-Qaeda; they are sympathetic to al-Qaeda in a variety of ways, but they are not al-Qaeda literally and their cooperation with al-Qaeda is incomplete and imperfect. The trouble is that most Americans, for example, don't understand why we care so much about the Taliban or about Afghanistan per se. They're interested in Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda because those are the people that attacked us on 9/11 and that's understandable and appropriate. The reason we muck around with the Taliban is because if we don't, we're afraid that failure in Afghanistan will enable al-Qaeda, strengthen it, create bases for it, and especially make it more likely that al-Qaeda and its allies could topple the government of Pakistan and get access to Pakistan's nuclear weapons. That's all one or two steps removed from roadside bombings and ambushes on the road between Kabul and Kandahar. I think the president is trying to show the link between sending brigades to Afghanistan, where al-Qaeda is not, and preventing another 9/11 by al-Qaeda.
It must be very frustrating to the American military knowing the al-Qaeda leaders, including their Pakistani collaborators, are there in Pakistan and our troops aren't supposed to go in there because of pressure from the Pakistani public opinion. Do you think this can be turned around?
I think there are some hopeful signs but the main point with respect to Pakistan in the near term is that we have very limited direct influence. Because we are politically so unpopular in Pakistan, there are real limits on what we can do directly to try and stabilize the Pakistani government or to fight al-Qaeda in its Pakistani base camps. That goes back to the question on why all the emphasis on al-Qaeda in the president's announced strategy. I think the reason for that is that our primary influence over what happens in Pakistan is arguably by preventing Afghanistan from collapsing and becoming a haven for the destabilization of Pakistan, where al-Qaeda is currently operating. Afghanistan is important, but indirectly so. It is important much less for its own sake than for its effect on something else, i.e. stability in Pakistan.
You said there were some hopeful signs that we could turn things around in Pakistan. What did you mean?
Our ability to destroy al-Qaeda or the Taliban or even really seriously undermine their effectiveness by killing their leadership has real limits to it.
The basis for optimism would be that as Islamist terrorist groups within Pakistan ramp up their violence against the Pakistani government, the Pakistani government is likely to focus on them more. The central problem in Pakistan right now is that the Pakistani government is more worried about India than they are about al-Qaeda. And it's very difficult for us to persuade the Pakistani government to shift its attention from the Indian threat that they worry about to the Islamist threat within their own borders that they worry less about but we worry more about. If Islamist terror groups within Pakistan get stronger and become a bigger and bigger threat to the Pakistani government, there is some chance that this will focus the minds of the Pakistani government.
It's not clear to me how much cooperation the United States gets from the Pakistan military because we do continue these drone attacks and they do seem to succeed in killing al-Qaeda operatives. Is there an unofficial understanding?
Many people have reported that the Pakistani government is less opposed to these attacks in private than they are in public. But whatever one thinks of that, it's obvious that these attacks are unpopular in Pakistan. And the central interest for the United States in the region is that the Pakistani government not collapse and lose control of its nuclear arsenal in a way that might allow al-Qaeda to get a hold of one of these weapons. The effect of these air strikes on Pakistani public opinion and the stability of the Pakistani government is absolutely a central consideration here. I don't think that many people believe that the right number of drone attacks is zero. The real issue is how many more than zero is the right number, and I think you can make a strong argument that the current number is too many. Our ability to destroy al-Qaeda or the Taliban or even really seriously undermine their effectiveness by killing their leadership has real limits to it. Both the Taliban and al-Qaeda know they're under attack, and they know they're under pressure so they develop a bench of second-string and third-string leaders who can step in if the first string gets killed.
Today you had this attack on this police training center in Lahore. Many people got killed. Pakistani forces eventually took it back. Is this the kind of thing that would help turn the tide? This is clearly a Taliban or al-Qaeda-style operation, right?
It's one of these situations where there are good and bad signs. Obviously, it's a bad sign that Islamist terrorist groups are expanding their activities and violence within Pakistan. But if you're eventually going to change the focus of the Pakistani government, that requires the Pakistanis themselves making the decision that they're more threatened by internal Islamists than they are by external enemies like India. Generally speaking, Islamist terror groups have tended to overplay their hand in ways that have ultimately helped us a lot. Al-Qaeda in Iraq's excessive brutality proved to be a tremendous resource in our campaign in Iraq. It would not be untypical of Islamist terror activities if they overplayed their hand in Pakistan, too, and galvanized a strong response by the Pakistani government. The question is will the Pakistani government respond to this quickly enough? Or will Islamist violence expand so much faster than their response that their government is undermined in the process?
Obama and some experts have talked about the possibility--thinking of the example in Iraq---of wooing elements of the Taliban over to the government's side. Do you think there's an analogous situation here?
You have to change the underlying military dynamics in the country before you can make very much headway with appealing to individual warlords.
The literal analogy to Iraq isn't going to work because the way that process of wooing the enemy over to our side worked in Iraq required the Sunnis' prior defeat at the hands of the Shiites. The surge had a lot to do with it too, but the Sunni defeat was necessary to cause it. The problem in Afghanistan at the moment is that no major elements of the Taliban have been militarily defeated either by indigenous opponents within Afghanistan or anybody else. One way it might happen in Afghanistan is if we manage to peel off particular warlord factions within the polyglot, disunified militia that is the Taliban. That's kind of a leadership-oriented approach. You convince the warlord at the top to change sides. The other method is if we can wean Taliban foot soldiers away, with or without a decision by their leaders. The argument there is that there are lots of low-ranking Taliban foot soldiers within Afghanistan who are doing this essentially for the money that really don't care about the ideologies. If we can change their incentives, there's no reason why they're going to be committed unto death for the Taliban, per se.
There are opportunities and serious problems associated with both of those approaches. On weaning- the-foot-soldiers approach, in principle, we could outbid the Taliban and pay them more to provide local security than the Taliban is providing them to plant roadside bombs. But the trouble is that if this happens without serious government security present, the Taliban are going to return and cut off the hands of people who take that money. The Taliban are going to retaliate and counterattack and probably very brutally. So to persuade poor soldiers that they should side with us and not with them, we also have to persuade them that they'll survive the exercise. This kind of approach will work best if there is a general increase in government security forces to provide protection for people realigning and at the moment, we don't have that.
The problem with the leaders approach is that right now the Taliban thinks it's going to win. And if the Taliban and its constituent warlord parts think they're going to win, they're not going to switch sides and go with the loser, because that means they'll be swinging at the end of the noose when the Taliban finally takes over. You have to change the underlying military dynamics in the country before you can make very much headway with appealing to individual warlords.
These four thousand American troops that are going into Afghanistan are supposed to help train Afghan military. What is the impression you have of the Afghan military from your visits there?
I think they're tactically pretty proficient, and especially their will to fight is very strong. This was a big, big problem in the early years in Iraq, and it's much less of a problem in Afghanistan. The biggest problem in Afghanistan has to do with whether the government is going to have the revenue stream to support a military that's big enough to succeed. If we build an Afghan security force that's big enough to beat the Taliban, will it also be too big for the Afghan government to pay? Right now, that's not such a big problem. Afghans are a lot cheaper than Americans. We will obviously pay the salaries of Afghan security forces as long as there's a war to be waged. The problem is what if it works? If it works, and this large Afghan security force produces an end to the war and peace in Afghanistan, are we going to be willing to continue to pay $2-3 billion a year to support this enormous security apparatus in an Afghanistan that is now at peace? I think that's much more problematic.

In the fertile, sometimes frightening, realm of Mark Bryan's imagination, robots ravage vineyards, clowns and con artists congregate at Washington D.C.'s Lincoln Memorial, and political pundits attend "Alice in Wonderland"-style tea parties. Even the most seemingly innocent figures- fluffy bunnies, grinning circus monkeys, chubby-cheeked babies - conceal a sinister side.
"I do a lot of whimsical stuff," the San Luis Obispo artist explained. "Satirical humor is a way ... of making something digestible. You can present something serious in a way that's seductive, that makes people want to laugh, but there's also some truth to it."
Bryan explores a darkly comic version of the apocalypse in his latest exhibition, "The Rupture," running now through Sept. 5 at the Leeds Gallery in Santa Cruz. The show, whose title is a twist on the oft-prophesied Rapture, moves to the Steynberg Gallery in San Luis Obispo in October.
A prolific painter whose work has been exhibited across California and the United States, Bryan enjoys pairing beautiful imagery with ugly subject matter, creating satirical oil paintings rife with religious and political overtones. But while his works often court controversy, they also exhibit a sly, sardonic sense of humor.
"There's a lot of political art that's very really powerful and scary and gnarly and not funny at all. There's nothing wrong with that," Bryan said, but he prefers a softer, more seductive approach. "I'm more interested in making people think."
Raised in the Los Angeles County suburbs of Downey and Whittier, Bryan studied architecture at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo before enrolling at Otis College of Art and Design in 1970. It was there, while working on his master's degree, that the young painter shared a house with Carlos Almaraz and Frank Romero, who founded the influential Chicano artist collective Los Four with Roberto de la Rocha and Gilbert Lujan.
According to Bryan, the Los Angeles artists fed his political leanings and encouraged him to study Mexico City's famed murals. He even collaborated with them on a couple of murals, helping them craft a backdrop on canvas for a 1974 United Farm Workers of America convention in Tehachapi.
"Cesar Chavez actually came in and watched us one night," recalled Bryan, who was 23 at the time. "He was very down to earth [and] interested in what we were doing." (Despite his exposure to that atmosphere, however, Bryan said political themes didn't fully emerge in his art until decades later, during the George W. Bush presidency. "Those guys were a gold mine of material for a satirist," he said.)
Bryan returned to the Central Coast in 1976, lured by the region's natural beauty. After a roughly 15-year hiatus from painting, during which he established a family and a carpentry business, he took up the brush once more.
Over the years, Bryan has built a reputation as one of California's most creative, uncompromising artists, appearing in the pages of the Los Angeles Times and Sacramento Bee newspapers and Juxtapoz magazine. Rather than drive away buyers, however, Bryan's political stance has made him surprisingly popular, Steynberg Gallery owner Peter Steynberg said, noting that his gallery has hosted five solo shows by Bryan since 2005.
"I have sold so many of his paintings, it's unbelievable," said Steynberg, whose private art collection includes Bryan's 2007 series "The Seven Dalís of the Pop Calypso." "He's always gotten a really, really great response. We always think 'This show's going to be a failure,' but we haven't had one yet."
While Bryan's work strikes a chord with art aficionados of all political stripes, Steynberg said, it has been known to inspire a violent reaction or two.
After seeing Bryan's 2007 painting "Debby and Child," which depicts the Virgin Mary breastfeeding a lascivious, lip-licking infant, "Some character from Southern California ... threw his coffee all over my cash register and caused quite a scene," Steynberg recalled, adding that the man also shouted "racial slurs" at him. "All my customers came around me and we pushed him out of the gallery."
Bryan's show at the Leeds Gallery, his first in Santa Cruz, is sure to stir up similarly strong emotions.
In "Ship of State," the US Capitol Building rests atop an ocean liner, slowly sinking under the waves while champagne-sipping men and women watch from the comfort of lifeboats laden with money bags. They seem oblivious to the survivors still splashing in the icy waters.

"To me, the Titanic sinking was the perfect metaphor," said Bryan, who drew inspiration from the Occupy Wall Street movement. "It represents the U.S. government dead in the water, sinking, dysfunctional. The American people are onboard (but) there are no lifeboats except for the rich."
"Who Would Jesus Bomb," which depicts a version of Rio de Janeiro's famed Christ the Redeemer statue dropping explosive loaves and fishes on an unsuspecting populace, was inspired by the popular bumper sticker. "I haven't got anything against Jesus. He was a revolutionary and a pacifist," Bryan explained, but he does oppose right-wing fundamentalists who use their Christian faith as a justification for war.
And then there's "The Mad Tea Party Part D'uh," a follow-up to 2005's "The Mad Tea Party," which depicts former vice presidential candidate and current Fox News personality Sarah Palin serving Kool-Aid to conservative commentators Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity. In the background, former vice president Dick Cheney takes down a Barack Obama poster.
"Mark's art enriches people's lives because it does have this humorous take. It gets people to look at things in a different light," Leeds Gallery director Julia Blessing said. She holds up Bryan's 2006 portrait of Cheney, "Dick," as one example. "People just walk (into the gallery) and go, 'Oh my god,' and laugh," she said.
Blessing personally has a soft spot for "Odalisque," his pastoral portrait of a humanoid sheep whose sensuous pose recalls the Turkish harem slaves depicted in 19th-century erotic paintings. "There's almost this dialogue going on with that painting," she said.
Although only a quarter of Bryan's work is overtly political in nature, he acknowledges that the paintings that deal with social issues such as war, poverty and inequality garner the most attention. "People really respond to artists who say the things they want to (say)," he said.
"I'd like to be a political cartoonist, but I don't get a good idea every day," added the artist, who counts American editorial cartoonist Thomas Nast and Spanish painter Francisco Goya among his greatest influences. Still, he said, he's determined to have his voice be heard.
"On the sides of the political spectrum, there are always people pushing one way or the other way," Bryan said. "(Painting) is kind of like voting. You've got to step up and make your opinion known."

Category: Burns News Posted by: admin Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns, is among writers, artists and composers inspiring film-makers to dramatise their life stories (Dalya Alberge writes).
Actors are burning to make history
Article Date: May 18, 2004 | Publication: The Times (London) | Author: Dalya Alberge
The British director Vadim Jean will direct Burns from a script by Alan Sharp, who wrote Rob Roy, it was announced yesterday at the Cannes Film Festival. The poet, who is famous for his rebellion against orthodox religion and morality, will be played by Gerard Butler, the Scottish actor.
Butler abandoned a law career to become an actor and made his film debut alongside Billy Connolly and Dame Judi Dench in Mrs Brown. He has just finished filming the lead role in Phantom of the Opera, which is released this year.
There have not been any feature movies about Burns since two productions in the 1930s. The film-makers say that their $ 10 million film, which also stars Brian Cox, will be faithful to Burns's story.
Among the other biopics being premiered at Cannes is Modigliani. The painter is played by Andy Garcia.
The Elizabethan dramatist Christopher Marlowe is the subject of several new biopics, and composers are also being given the cinematic treatment, beginning with Beethoven, which will star Ed Harris and Diane Kruger.

Counties are submitting preliminary flood damage estimates to the Federal Emergency Management Agency as federal officials work to tally their own assessment—a process that may take weeks.
"We've seen extensive damage across the state to bridges, roads, other infrastructure that cities and counties rely on," said Estevan Lujan, spokesman for the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.
But just how much the counties will get in aid from last week's severe weather is not clear.
"Whether or not the county will receive any portion of its claim from FEMA or the state is yet to be determined," said Julie Habiger, a spokeswoman for Los Alamos County, a county that saw extensive flood damage. "There were many counties in the state with serious damage to infrastructure and that will likely impact funding levels."
Gov. Susana Martinez declared a state of emergency last week, freeing up $750,000 for infrastructure repairs. But local officials say that money will quickly be used and won't be enough to cover all the damage.
In Los Alamos County, for example, officials put the initial flood damage cost at more than $5 million. Habiger told the Los Alamos Monitor that figure was a rough estimate, but the northern New Mexico county qualifies for FEMA and state assistance.
Habiger said if FEMA and the state reject the claims, the county will have to explore other options.
The Cibola County Commission also is applying for emergency funding after floodwaters hit Bluewater, Milan and Grants.
"But it may be a week before we can get all the numbers together," the county's emergency management chief Tony Boyd told the Gallup Independent. "We'll be figuring out our costs for equipment, man hours, materials, plus everything that's required to respond to an emergency event like this."
Meanwhile on Thursday, state officials kept eyes on full rivers and creeks amid isolated thunderstorms that could spark even more flooding for weather-weary resident working to clean up debris and mud.
The Chama River's bank swelled Wednesday sending floodwaters in Rio Arriba County, just north of Espanola. The flooding forced residents of Chili, N.M., to use canoes and rafts to retrieve their possessions.
State Police said they have found the truck of an Arizona man reported missing last weekend after flood evacuations in the small town of Mogollon. But there's still no sign of 83-year-old Howard Bassett and air and ground crews were still searching for him Thursday.
Bassett's truck was found Wednesday night by aerial searchers, and it was wrapped in mud and flood debris in Silver Creek off State Road 159, police said.
Bassett was staying at the Silver Creek Inn when heavy rains hit. He was evacuated Saturday due to flash floods, but a clerk at the inn said Bassett never returned for his belongings.

drip irrigation was installed. We pumped

early June, we diagnosed some of the melons with anthracnose. At this time, the county agent was called
(Willie E. Wilson). The Experiment
Station was contacted and they recommended spraying with Quadris. In June we sprayed the melons with
Quadris. After about one week, we had no
more problems. We continued to check for
worms and it was recommended by the Experiment Station to put the melons on
squares of plastic, since they were on bare ground. We used 12" squares of plastic and placed
them under each of the melons. Beginning
sometime around June 26, we noticed the Gallicum melons were developing some
problems with rotting and splitting. The
Experiment Station recommended that we spray with 2 oz of cal nitrate to 3
gallons of water to make the rines tougher.
In about a week, we noticed no more problems in this area. Beginning in early July, rain was continuous

had to spray with fungicides to maintain the mildew and fungus.

Tomatoes are listed in the order of my preference. No problems in growing as far as splitting
or ripening. They were all smooth and
well shaped. No disease or insect
problems. |
Cantaloupe: |
Conary |
(honeydew) |
Gallicum |
Ambrosia |
Sprite |
Cantaloupes are listed in the order of my preference. All melons with the exception of the Sprite
were exceptionally sweet. The Gallicum
and Juan Conary had some splitting problems.
We had a little anthracnose on the Juan Conary and the Fantasma. We had some rotting problems with the
Gallicum due to the tender rines; we sprayed this with a cal nitrate and
water solution. We had not insect or
worm problems, however, we had a few field mice. I would recommend getting rid of the field
mice early in the season with poison placed at various places. |

25 Totally Amazing Tattoos in Tribute to Children's Literature! (Photos)
There are certain things that people hold dear; their first love, their best friends, and their favorite book from childhood. Even though the person in question has moved on from picture books to epic novels, the books that they loved when they were three to – say – thirteen still hold an impact. These books made such an impression that as soon as they were of age, these literary loving adults opted to get their favorite childhood book characters tattooed – forever – on their skin.
Some got odes to old school classic like Where the Wild Things Are, The Little Prince or to the work of Eric Carle. But others, they got more modern with tattooed tributes to Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus, SkippyJon and If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.
Check out these 25 epic tattoos in honor of children's literature. Which one would you get?

(For Men & Women)
Discover The Powerful Step-By-Step Secrets Of How To Meet, Attract And Create A Lasting And Fulfilling Relationship With The Kind Of Man/Woman You've Always Wanted - Even If You're Shy Or Doubt You're Good Looking
This is an extremely spiritual and emotional relationship, both in mutual understanding and commitment.
A Cancer will provide Pisces with love, a comfortable home, and show them the value of stability.
Cancer brings its assertive qualities to the relationship and thus most likely to be the decision-maker.
Pisces, with their inherent wisdom of all the previous signs of the zodiac contributes a powerful intuitive balance to this combination.
If both can take special care against the tendency to wallow in their problems, then a long lasting relationship is in store for them.
Cancer Lovers
Cancer's are fun lovers to be around - since their humour is sophisticated and knowledgeable in the ways of humanity.
They love to laugh - both at themselves as well with others – they are good providers and seem to have a magic touch where money is concerned.
A sensitive, romantic, soft and gentle lover who, when hurt through love, may take considerable time to trust others. Once they feel confident however, the Cancerean can expose a wild side that is surprising in their sexual resourcefulness.
They are loyal and imaginative lovers who delight in cuddling after love making – adore physical displays of affection, romantic dinner dates and communications by way of phone, cards, letter and emails etc.
Since they can be moody, possessive, are often over-sensitive and require constant reassurance, they are liable to react with some jealousy where their partner displays attention to an attractive member of the opposite sex.
The male Cancerians can visualize himself as the white knight or a centre of attraction among a host of beautiful women while she fantasizes as a beauty of famous disposition.
Best Bed Mates for the Cancer: Pisces, Virgo, Scorpio, Cancer Taurus.
Pisces Lovers.
The Piscean is a gentle, dreamy, spiritual, easygoing and absolutely charming – they are extremely imaginative, perceptive, and sensitive lovers who tend to form more of a spiritual bond with their lover.
They are extremely attractive too most people they meet but truly compatible with few. They have intense sensual fantasies and lovemaking is an expression or outlet of their personality so that sex with a Piscean is erotic and pure enjoyment.
They are sensitive and psychic towards their lovers desires and needs. They are often artists, and due to their acute sensitivity, tend to retreat from the world around them to safe refuge.
Piscean's tend to inspire others with the depths of their devotion and can often be found on the stage, in politics or religion.
The feet are the Pisces erotic zone so by paying gentle massage attention to the toes and arch of the feet will relax and arouse the Piscean's sexual desire.

It sucks that a guy had to lose his job, but guess what, this thing is a business. If you can't get it done you need to hit the road. Why is it that some poor schmuck in sales can get fired for not producing for 2 months but an NFL coach can crap the bed for years on end and can make millions?
Classless? Take a look around and see what's up man. You don't make your way in life by being a nice guy. Sometimes you have to slash and burn to make things happen.
I appreciate what Kubes did for this franchise, but his time has gone and it's time to move on to the next guy.
