Game 6: Second Quarter Update
|04.30.09 at 8:33 pm ET
At the half … Bulls 59, Celtics 57
In spite of 29 points from Ray Allen, the Celtics find themselves down 59-57 at halftime. Allen has shot 10-for-15 from the field, including 5-for-7 from three-point range. Paul Pierce is the Celtics second-leading scorer with 12 points.
But Allen's performance has been overshadowed by the real storyline of the game – foul trouble.
A total of 27 fouls were called in the first half, including a flagrant against Rajon Rondo in the first quarter. Kendrick Perkins, who did not commit a single foul in Game 5, was whistled for three fouls in 12 minutes. Six of the Bulls have been whistled for at least two fouls — Ben Gordon and Kirk Hinrich have been called for three personals.
Watch for Rondo in the second half. He has been uncharacteristically reluctant to drive the paint tonight and is scoreless in 19 minutes. Allen may have the hot hand so far, but Rondo cannot be hesitant with his shot for the rest of the game.

Surrounded by two fireplaces, the bar is the centerpiece of the ground floor, where an impressive, mixologist-supervised menu awaits. Pick from 5 Ninth's menu of "Forgotten Classics," such as the Ace of Clubs (Barbados rum, lime juice, crème de cacao, and a few drops of Angostura), "Long and Strongs," such as the Paloma (tequila, lime juice, grapefruit soda, and a pinch of salt), or a "Fresh from the Lab," including the Gamma Ray (old armagnac, crème de menthe, twist of flamed lemon, and a dust of cayenne pepper).

Raton, New Mexico -
"I walked in the door and it just blew me away."
Those are the words of Jim Supica, director of NRA Museums, when it comes to the subject of today's Curator's Corner on Sportsman Channel … a .22 Browning Rifle.
But it's not the gun that caught Supica's attention, it was the engraving.
Joined by Frank Brownell at the Frank Brownell Museum of the Southwest, Supica and Brownell marveled at the work of the firearm engraver Lee Griffiths.
"Lee is a gentleman's gentleman," said Brownell. "This one happens to be a train robbery on this side while the other side has a guy coming into a saloon and holding it up. It's so creative and so beautifully done."
A closer examination reveals three colors of gold inlay scattered about the engraving; pure gold, rose gold and green gold.
"That all depends on the alloy used," explained Brownell.
But what really jumps out, literally, are the 3-D elements to the work. That's right, I said 3-D. How did Griffiths accomplish such a feat? By creating the horse on its own and then attaching it to the primary piece.
"I wasn't aware of that being used in engraving before," Supica marveled. "The way he's integrated it into the deep relief engraving. This gun just comes alive when you look at it."
To see this piece up close, without heading off to the Brownell's Museum of the Southwest in New Mexico, tune in to NRA News on Sportsman Channel tonight around 6:40pm eastern. There you'll learn all about the amazing stock work, see Frank and Jim gush all over the Browning, and get a close up look at Griffith's engravings for yourself.
Though you won't find this Browning there, you can see all the other guns in the NRA National Firearms Museum collection at nramuseum.com

Arizona Coyotes
Report: Coyotes trade Raffi Torres to San Jose Sharks
Raffi Torres' interesting career with the Phoenix Coyotes has apparently come to an end.
Torres to San Jose for a third-round pick in 2013— Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) April 3, 2013
Torres, 31, has scored five goals and tallied seven assists in 28 games this season.
A veteran of 11 NHL seasons, Torres is known for the 21-game suspension he received after leveling Chicago's Marian Hossa during the first round of last year's Stanley Cup Playoffs. Torres has a reputation for being a bit of an agitator, but also brings some offensive skill to the ice.
Torres, who originally signed with the Coyotes before the 2011-12 season, scored 38 points for the team and accumulated 96 PIMs.
The Coyotes are currently 15-15-6, and with 36 points sit on the outside of the playoff picture looking in.

Pros: Ferrets love to snuggle in it
Cons: none

My ferret loves to spend time in his sleeping bag. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a warm comfortable place for their ferret to sleep, rest, or just hide.
Pros: comfortable, cozy
Cons: none

Nice, but there are alternatives
posted 6 years ago
These sleeper bags are nice because they are well made, easy to wash and easy to attach to the cage. I opt not to buy them though because I prefer to make my own, which is cheaper, plus I can choose the fabric.
Pros: Comfortable for small animals
Cons: can make one cheaper

Welcome to the Nine Mile Baptist Association! This association is comprised of forty churches scattered throughout four counties of Southern Illinois: Jackson, Randolph, Perry and Washington.
The mission of discipling the nations has been demoted from the primary task of the church to one of its many ministries called "missions." It has been reduced from a purpose (a primary reason for existence) to a program (one of the things we do). Let's restore the church to its primary purpose!

Michigan makes case for No. 1 with 74-60 win
McGary, Bielfeldt - a redshirt freshman with strong ties to Illinois - and Horford picked up most of Morgan's minutes, and his slack.
McGary, a 6-10, 250-pound forward, hasn't started a game this season but averages 16 minutes a night anyway. Bielfeldt, though, plays less than six minutes a night, and was all nerves in his first minutes on the court. The 6-7, 245-pound forward badly missed his first free throw, at least a foot right of the basket, and the crowd, well aware that the athletic administration building on the Illinois campus bears his big-donor family's name, let him have it.
So did his teammates, Beilein said.
"It was not a great initial debut with the air ball. That's one of the first things we made fun of," the coach said. "All his teammates were on him in the locker room."
But with another chance at the line minutes later, Bielfeldt sank both shots, finishing with four points in six minutes.
Horford had seven points and five boards in 17 minutes while McGary had six points and eight rebounds.
"It gave three guys the opportunity to play that (don't) get as much as they like, Beilein said of Morgan's injury. "I'm really impressed with the big guys and how they stepped up there."
Illinois' big-man combination of Nanna Egwu, Sam McLaurin and Tyler Griffey wasn't much of a match for them. The Wolverines scored 42 points in the paint.
Groce said his big men weren't bad, just not as good they'd like to be, especially McLaurin, the 6-8 grad-student transfer he called his team's defensive Kevin Garnett
"I really have a high regard for Sam's intelligence and ability to execute our defense, and I think we'll look at the film and he wasn't on his Ps and Qs like normal," said Groce, who last faced Michigan as the coach at Ohio, leading the Bobcats to a second-round NCAA Tournament upset last spring.
Michigan took the lead for good with 15:21 to play in the first half when Burke hit a jump shot to go up 8-7. With a 9-0 run that ended only with a 3-pointer by Paul with 10:52 left in the half, the Wolverines were up 15-10.

China's yuan a growing force in global finance: study
Published on Jul 11, 2014 9:02 AM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - China's yuan is a growing force in global finance, more than doubling in use over the past year, according to a new study from the Institute of International Finance Thursday.
Although its use in the international payments system remains dwarfed by the dollar and euro, the yuan, officially known as the renminbi, grew to 1.4 per cent of total transactions.
That jump moved it ahead of the Hong Kong and Singapore dollars and even with the Swiss franc, the sixth most used currency in global transactions, the IIF study said.
In trade finance, overwhelmingly dominated by the US dollar, the yuan jumped into second place last year ahead of the euro and the Japanese yen, comprising eight percent of transactions.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Marin_Foster Pretty and Comfortable These panties are amazing! The boyshorts and the matching bra are so pretty that it's almost like wearing a piece of art. I feel sexier all day long. They're very light and comfortable. The small fits well; I normally wear a size 4 from FP. They are very delicate, so don't try putting them on or taking them off in a hurry or they will tear. 11.28.2013

Light snow is falling in parts of Whitley County.
Citizens should act accordingly in the unusual weather pattern.
Whitko High School will present, "The Wizard of Oz," Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m. More than 50 students have worked for months to bring the show to South Whitley. The production features students from elementary and middle schools as well.
Tickets are available at the door and prices are $6 for adults and $5 for students. Doors will open one hour prior to the show. Pictured is Jasmine Gregory (Center) as Dorothy Gale and Michael Thompson (right) as Tin Man, along with the rest of the cast at a rehearsal recently.
COLUMBIA CITY — Columbia City's Common Council held its third and final reading to withdraw the city's water and electric utilities from the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC) Tuesday.
This was the final step for the city to take. A formal letter will still be sent to the IURC and there will be a waiting period before the move becomes official.
Before voting on the measures, which both passed unanimously, the council heard public comment.
SOUTH WHITLEY — Sewer discussions left a sour taste in some residents' mouths at Tuesday night's town council meeting.
Two residents came to members of the council with costly concerns, centering around sewer back ups in their homes.
David and Judy Richards confronted the council after returning home from a four-month stay in Florida to find the sewer line servicing their home had backed up into their basement.
"My son came and talked to you already," David said. "I know you made a decision to not help cover the bill, but I wanted to know if you could explain it to me."
PIERCETON — Acknowledging strengths and weaknesses have been a common theme at Whitko Community School Corporation's Board of School Trustee meetings.
Each month, principals from the district's schools give a report as to the progress being made on campus.
Some of those reports are positive and some point out areas needing improvement, but regardless, administrators are not skirting away from the reality at their respective school.

Students receive prestigious Schweitzer Fellowships
One of the key tenets of a Jesuit education is to help students become men and women for others. It's a theme that surrounds Loyola students every day on campus, from the courses they take to the organizations they join.
Four current Loyola graduate students have taken that mission to a whole new level.
The four—Eddie Burks, Audrey Hertenstein, Kathryn Huber, and Padraic Stanley—were recently selected for the prestigious Albert Schweitzer Fellowship program and will spend the next year working on healthcare-related projects to help underserved communities in Chicago.
Named in honor of famed humanitarian Dr. Albert Schweitzer, the fellowship program encourages students to design and implement a project that addresses an unmet community health need. Fellowship recipients must partner with an existing organization and commit at least 200 service hours to their project—on top of their already heavy school workloads.
Only 250 Schweitzer Fellows are chosen nationally each year, which puts these four Loyola graduate students in truly elite company.
Eddie Burks
School of Education
Hometown: Olympia Fields, Illinois
Working with: Uhlich Children's Advantage Network (UCAN)
What brought you to Loyola?
I came to graduate school at Loyola because of its social justice platform. I'm a big advocate for social causes, and it seemed only natural to continue that mission at Loyola. Also, the quality of education and the opportunity to do service work at a graduate level were important to me.
Talk a little about your project: what it is, how you became interested in it, and what you're looking to accomplish.
I'll be providing positive relationship support through clinical, psycho-education, and social interventions to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning (LGBTQ) youth who are wards of the state. Having been in foster care and self-identifying as gay, I understand the many challenges these youth face. I also understand the positive support that is needed to help these young people with the development of their sexual identity and orientation. My project aims to provide that support.
How does it feel to be a Schweitzer Fellowship recipient?
To be honest, I'm still getting use to it. This was the first time I applied for something of this magnitude and being considered a finalist was rewarding in itself—but to actually be a winner feels great. It's humbling to see the Albert Schweitzer Fellowship has identified my work as a need, and for this I am honored.
And finally, what do you hope to be doing 10 years from now?
I plan to have obtained my doctorate in counseling psychology and run a private practice focused on implementing my service project nationally. I also plan to have adopted children out of foster care so that I can provide another level of positive relationship support—this time as a dad.
Audrey Hertenstein
Stritch School of Medicine
Hometown: Morton, Illinois
Working with: CommunityHealth
What brought you to Loyola?
I knew I wanted to attend Loyola after meeting and talking with so many like-minded students, faculty, and staff during the Second Look Program. I'm passionate about improving the health and healthcare access of underserved communities, and finding a place like Loyola—whose mission is so in line with my own—is one of the many reasons I feel fortunate to call this university my home.
Talk a little about your project: what it is, how you became interested in it, and what you're looking to accomplish.
After working with CommunityHealth programs in Honduras and the United States, I saw first-hand the importance of peer-to-peer education. The project I'm working on is a group-based weight loss class for Spanish- and English-speaking women through the CommunityHealth clinic on Chicago Avenue. The class will focus on topics ranging from goal setting and exercise to nutrition and stress reduction. The ultimate hope for this class is to draw on the peer support and peer-led knowledge of fellow group members to help patients achieve their weight loss goals and lifestyle changes.
How does it feel to be a Schweitzer Fellowship recipient?
Since becoming a part of the Schweitzer Fellow community, I've been overwhelmed with support from Loyola, the Schweitzer Foundation staff, and my fellow Schweitzer Fellows. I'm looking forward to a year of learning from my peers, learning from the community I'll be working with, and developing skills to help people reach their health goals.
And finally, what do you hope to be doing 10 years from now?
I'd like to work in family medicine and support the community I'm working with. I hope to help others achieve their goals and plan to continue to work toward that over the next decade.
Kathryn Huber
School of Law and School of Social Work (dual-degree program)
Hometown: Mount Prospect, Illinois
Working with: Cabrini Green Legal Aid
What brought you to Loyola?
The dual-degree program and the School of Law's commitment to public interest, public service, and the ethical practice of law. I never wanted to be a traditional corporate attorney, and Loyola has an amazing reputation for educating lawyers who go on to make a difference for underrepresented people. I wanted to be part of that.
Talk a little about your project: what it is, how you became interested in it, and what you're looking to accomplish.
We know that people with criminal records are far more likely to be homeless, to be unemployed, to be without health insurance, and to be without access to mental health treatment. That's where my project comes in: I'll be working with eligible young people to expunge their criminal records—and afterward, to explore the opportunities available to them, such as employment, college, or vocational programs. This project seeks to ensure that the mistakes people make as an adolescent don't hurt them later in life.
How does it feel to be a Schweitzer Fellowship recipient?
I was so honored to have been chosen, especially when I got to meet some of the amazing people in the program with me. The Schweitzer Fellowship is such a unique opportunity to collaborate with people who all share a passion for making a difference. To be a part of that is incredible.
What do you hope to be doing ten years from now?
I hope to be practicing as an attorney on behalf of children in some capacity. They are often subject to a variety of legal proceedings that affect their interests and impact their entire lives—but they don't always have a voice in what goes on. So I'd like to be able to help them during those crucial proceedings.
Padraic Stanley
School of Social Work
Hometown: Bucyrus, Ohio
Working with: Rincon Family Services
What brought you to Loyola?
Getting to Chicago has been my goal for a long time, so when I decided to apply to graduate schools for social work, I knew I wanted to come to the city. Loyola is one of the only schools in the nation where you can learn, in-depth, about social work with immigrants and refugees though the migration studies sub-specialization.
Talk a little about your project: what it is, how you became interested in it, and what you're looking to accomplish.
After working with immigrants and refugees in multiple settings, as well as personally interacting with loved ones who are undocumented, I noticed huge mental health needs and disparities within the community. For my project, I'll be working with community leaders and organizations to develop a map of accessible and affordable mental health services for undocumented immigrants. I'll then help train people to identify mental health concerns in their loved ones and their communities, as well as show them where to get the services they need.
How does it feel to be a Schweitzer Fellowship recipient?
When I got my acceptance to the fellowship, I was in complete disbelief. Virtually any graduate student in Chicago is eligible to apply, and so the application pool is huge. I wanted this fellowship because it combined so many of my goals and passions, so I'm glad the selection committee saw something special in my application and my interviews.
And finally, what do you hope to be doing 10 years from now?
I hope to be developing, implementing, and coordinating mental health and other social service programming that caters to the needs of immigrant communities. I either want to be working as a director at an agency that specifically runs these programs, or working within existing agencies to develop comprehensive mental health programs.

Toronto Stock Exchange - EXN
TORONTO, Oct. 31, 2012 /PRNewswire/ - Excellon Resources Inc. (TSX: EXN) ("Excellon" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced a 5,000 metres ("m") diamond drilling program on its DeSantis Project in Timmins, Ontario.
Highlights from previous drilling on the project include:
- Hydrothermal Zone:
- 7.90 g/t gold over 5.2 m in hole DS10-02;
- 3.40 g/t gold over 9.9 m, including 13.70 g/t Au over 0.7 m in hole DS10-06;
- 3.63 g/t gold over 23.17 m, including 14.25 g/t gold over 1.17 m in hole DS10-10A;
- Albitite Zone:
- 1.74 g/t gold over 12.0 m, including 10.39 g/t Au over 1.5 m in hole DS12-004.
" We are very pleased with our technical progress at DeSantis since the completion of the last drilling campaign in April. The exploration team in Timmins has done a thorough job of compiling historical data and come up with several new target areas," stated John Sullivan, Vice-President of Exploration. "This regional approach has enabled the Company to see the project in a new light and we look forward to the results of this drilling program."The DeSantis Project , which includes the past producing DeSantis Mine, covers approximately five km of strike length within the highly prospective geology of the Destor-Porcupine Deformation Zone ("DPDZ"), the main structure controlling gold deposits in the Timmins gold camp. The DeSantis Mine produced 35,800 ounces of gold from 178,650 tonnes of ore which graded 6.2 g/t Au during its intermittent production history. The property is located approximately 11 km west of Goldcorp Inc.'s Dome Mine and 14 km east of Lake Shore Gold Corp.'s Timmins Mine. Exploration on the DeSantis Project since 2010 includes 5,888 m in 15 holes in 2010 and 27 holes (seven abandoned due to technical issues) totalling 11,039 m in 2011/2012. In mid-October the Company completed a comprehensive program of geotechnical compilation, relogging and sampling of recent and historic drill core and reviewing the project in a regional context. Based on the results of this work the Company commenced the current 5,000 m diamond drilling program in late October. Drilling will follow up on promising recent results and will test undrilled areas east of and below the known Albitite Zone. In addition, geophysical and geological targets will be tested in a series of holes on areas of the project that have not been thoroughly explored. Map 1 shows the location of the property in the Timmins Camp, while Map 2 is a longitudinal section showing the location of recent and planned drilling near the # 2 shaft on both the Hydrothermal Alteration and Albitite zones.

From the Publisher"Erie's persuasive argument that the Metropolitan Water District is one of the creative but flawed designers of Southern California is haunted by forgetfulness: We forget where our water comes from....We forget who manages it for us and why water policy is the most important political decision we never get to make....Unfortunately forgetting is what we're best at. It helps explains why we can't move beyond the myths of Chinatown without stories about Los Angeles as reasoned and convincing as Erie's."—L.A. Times Book Review
"Beyond Chinatown's merger of history and policy study, set against debunked myth, should serve as a major reorientation for teaching, researching, and planning, not only in Southern California, but in metropolitan regions throughout the world."—Southern California Quarterly
"Water history is tough to write, and no one has done it better than Steven P. Erie in this fast-paced narrative based on monumental research. I marvel at the multi-faceted inclusiveness of this story of water, region, politics, engineering, growth, and the environment."—Kevin Starr, University of Southern California
"In this pathbreaking history of the MWD, Steve Erie brilliantly debunks L.A.'s greatest urban legend and opens bold new perspectives on the secret history of Southern California."—Mike Davis, U.C. Irvine
"Professor Erie lays out for serious students and readers alike a compelling study of the perception and reality of the MET and the major figures and events that define it. The history of real life intrigue revealed is worthy of the Chinatown title, but there is much more here for today's leaders seeking to find a model of success for regional cooperation and accomplishment."—Ron Gastelum, former CEO, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California
"In this sweeping history, Erie gives us not only the people, plans, and decisions of a public agency that has allowed a semi-arid region to take water for granted, but also the consequences of those decisions that have assisted in the creation of one of the world's great economies. And then, like a scout at the horizon, he confronts the global challenges facing the future of water for this region—indeed, the future of California. Beyond Chinatown indeed. It's a great read and an important book."—James Flanigan, business and economics Columnist, LA Times and New York Times

I will look into fixing the rudder. Thanks for the term NACA. It is a good term to search on for usable profiles.
Had the boat out again yesterday under strong winds. Was too chicken to run the Hobie sail, so I flew the OEM sail and reefed. The boat was difficult to control. I sailed with just the main alone and also with main and jib. The boat wanted to turn down wind. Very difficult to come about. It would get almost straight into the wind and it would turn back down wind again. All the while the boat was still moving forward. Problem nearly the same with the jib up or down. I wonder if it was worse, because it was reefed. That should put the center of effort forward, I would think. The boat is supposed to be self righting, but was difficult to turn into the wind when laid over too far - a little scary. Dropping the main, and it still was hard to turn out of it.
Not sure what the wind speed was, but at the end, I dropped both sails in about the middle of the lake. The wind blew me to the dock at about a steady 2 knots with both sails DOWN. Crazy windy day.
Hopefully I can get out on a calmer day and use the Hobie sail again. It is just discouraging trying to sail the boat on the OEM main. The Hobie sail seems to act much more normal, so I feel much safer.

Union officials representing federal workers say their members could face seven days of furloughs at the Housing and Urban Development Department, for example, but Homeland Security personnel might see twice that number.
At the Environmental Protection Agency, workers would get four-day holiday weekends with a catch — one day would be a furlough day. Other agencies, like the Social Security Administration, are avoiding furloughs altogether.
A lot depends on how flexible an agency is. If it's largely personnel-driven, there's no way to avoid furloughs. Unions are pushing for agencies to cut back on federal contracts and other areas before furloughing employees.

2007 BEST Wedding Photographer
Tirado Photography
After the plates have been cleared and the last floral arrangement spirited away, what remains of the wedding day is the photos. Couples who entrust these all-important mementos to husband-and-wife team Rene and Melissa Tirado get an album's worth of artistic black-and-whites and unique candids, plus whimsical group shots that are a world apart from the police-lineup feel of formal portraits. All of which makes it possible for brides and grooms to catch the moments they missed (and remember what, exactly, those flowers looked like) long after the final confetti has flown.

Author(s): Crane, Mary Thomas
ISBN 10: 0691050872. See all ISBN's
Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Here Mary Thomas Crane considers the brain as a site where body and culture meet to form the subject and its expression in language. Taking Shakespeare as her case study, she boldly demonstrates the explanatory power of cognitive theory--a theory which argues that language is produced by a reciprocal interaction of body and environment, brain and culture, and which refocuses attention on the role of the author in the making of meaning. Crane reveals in Shakespeare's texts a web of structures and categories through which meaning is created. The approach yields fresh insights into a wide range of his plays, including The Comedy of Errors, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, Hamlet, Measure for Measure, and The Tempest.
Crane's cognitive reading traces the complex interactions of cultural and cognitive determinants of meaning as they play themselves out in Shakespeare's texts. She shows how each play centers on a word or words conveying multiple meanings (such as "act," "pinch," "pregnant," "villain and clown"), and how each cluster has been shaped by early modern ideological formations. The book also chronicles the playwright's developing response to the material conditions of subject formation in early modern England. Crane reveals that Shakespeare in his comedies first explored the social spaces within which the subject is formed, such as the home, class hierarchy, and romantic courtship. His later plays reveal a greater preoccupation with how the self is formed within the body, as the embodied mind seeks to make sense of and negotiate its physical and social environment.

Tom DeLonge leads the 'dramatically different' blink-182 ...
... and Angels & Airwaves, and that can be 'wonderful — or self-destructive'
Older and wiser, DeLonge looks back on his addiction to painkillers as a harrowing — but transformative — learning experience.
Today, he displays a sense of maturity and introspection few fans would associate with blink or its music.
"I think that comes with age," said DeLonge, who owns two successful companies, Macbeth Footwear and Modlife, a website that lets bands and their fans interact through live video broadcasts, text messaging, Twitter and other au courant means.
"People always say you're supposed to have maturity and act (like) it. But the beautiful thing about maturity is that it comes in its own time. It doesn't hit you like puberty might hit you. It's more like something that happens (gradually) every year. When you become an adult approaching 30 — and now I'm 34 — you become aware that you're not indestructible and that the world holds a finite amount of time for everybody. And you have to come to terms with all that."
DeLonge's latest tour with AVA, in support of its third album, this year's "Love," concludes Saturday at the Hollywood Palladium.
Intriguingly, this is the first time blink and AVA have existed at the same time.
By extension, it is also the first time DeLonge has had to reconcile what it means to be in two very different bands. His reunion with blink came following the 2008 Lear jet crash that nearly claimed Barker's life. The drummer and DJ Am (who died the following year) were the only survivors of the tragedy, which resulted in the deaths of the pilot, co-pilot and two other passengers.
"I think music means something different to me now than it used to," DeLonge said, sitting on a couch in AVA's North County recording and rehearsal studio.
"I think that 10 years ago — more than 10 years ago, 18 years ago — it was a venting of angst. And, now, it's definitely an expression of my soul. The problem is, now that blink is back in my life, I have to decide if I want to express my angst or my soul."
Despite his earlier contention that he's enjoying the best of both worlds, juggling both bands — and their disparate musical and lyrical focuses — may not be so easy.
Blink's audience expects charged songs that fuel youthful tension and release. AVA's music, especially on its new album, is inspired by the epic work of The Who, Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd, Radiohead and U2 in their respective primes.
"I would lose straight away if I went on 'American Idol,' " DeLonge said. "But those guys (on 'Idol') will never be known for defining a generation of young suburbanites like (blink) did."
Following a break after AVA's tour wraps up, DeLonge will turn his attention to blink and preparations for the reunited trio's first album of new songs since 2003.
"With AVA, I'm with a team of guys who feel the same way I do. We grew up with the same expectations that we have for ourselves, as well as about what music can do for somebody. We love the investigation of the spiritual world and educating ourselves on philosophical matters that might change the way we feel about our audience.

Times Cheers New Take-It-Or-Leaves-It-Slaves Economy
That's the spirit! Soon we'll all be making such accommodations: it's not so bad, stop thinking about the old days, don't say anything to the boss even when he spits on you, maybe if I kill him and make off with the till I can have a few days when I really feel alive before I blow my brains out... Just because some bankers have been brought low doesn't mean the overclass has gone away, or gotten any more generous.

I love this! Apparently my sister did, too, when she visited. She "borrowed" it every day she was here. I have to get a new bottle because I ended up giving her my bottle since she loved it so much!

There is a line in L Frank Baums The Marvelous Land of Oz that rings true for India this week – "Everything has to come to an end, sometime." For the last two years, Indians were waiting with baited breath for 2014. Elections in any country spell multiple things. They make democracy palpable. They reinforce choice, representation and the existence of systems. They ensure citizens acknowledge their citizenship. But most significantly, they stand for change, whether for better or for worse.
The 2014 elections in India were significant for two primary reasons among others. First, they raised political awareness in every section of the society. To most, politics in theory is too abstract, philosophical and esoteric. Not to mention, politics in practice is corrupt, crass and even criminal. These elections enabled citizens to pontificate on politics and its intricacies, within their intellectual capacity. They ensured that Indians of different strata of the society thought about their politics and defined perceptions. Whether it was the intellectuals regularly questioning the political discourse, professionals wondering about the impact of politics on industry and economics, fiery students participating in a created version of a revolution to explore their leanings or the layman who was enamoured by the campaigns to rabidly tweet, if not directly vote. These elections removed political apathy in India to a large extent and the high voter turnout of 66.38% demonstrated this.
Second, they ensured that the political debates that occurred in the country transgressed election one-liners such as Roti, Kapda, Makaan and "India Shining" alone. Elections became about growth and development, even if only in talk. Whether people knew of the intricacies of the Lok Pal Bill, corruption frustrated them and they saw its correlation to politics. Pluralism, secularism and social integration became serious talking points, outside the ambit of identity or vote bank politics. Though the political discourse eventually succumbed (and at times crossed the line) to the usual crassness required during elections, it was preceded by opinions, questions and answers on policy making for social welfare, growth or reaching out to different population sectors.
The 2014 elections will no doubt be remembered as the turning point in Indian political history. But their significance does not only end at the candidates, the campaigns, the speeches, the awareness and the technicalities involved in its process. These elections ensured that there was marked emergence of ideological camps (where none existed) within the Indian political space. This was both flabbergasting and tragic. Flabbergasting because India, unlike the US, does not have a clear bi-partisan system. We do not have the intellectual demarcations for the economic left and right, the social conservative and liberal and the religiously moderate and fundamentalist. What we have is an amalgamation of multiple ideologies and leanings emerging within our politics, with parties absorbing what is applicable to them as and when necessary.
A reiterated fact remains that at the economic front, the party known to be pro-market and investment friendly seems to oppose the FDI in multiband retail, while the propagandists of social welfare rally behind it. Leaders of the so-called economic right have in the past praised core welfare schemes such as NREGA at international platforms. The younger parties against corruption and crony capitalism talk little about their economic stance or alternatives, hand out subsidies, and induct industrialists while claiming to be market friendly. They back clean governance and advocate for strong anti-corruption laws, however also proclaim to be anarchists when seeped deep into the system of governance, law and order. The point remains that there is no black and white in India's political economics. The economic Left and Right are blurred entities shifting according to the political realities on the same vertical axis.
At the social, cultural, religious and ideological level, political parties use discourses that appeal to them as and when necessary. This is a reality of politics across the world, while some conservative parties are explicitly bigoted and wield words to their favour to be "politically correct", some manipulate these in their favour only when necessary, and some which acknowledge such issues, never make it an actual tangible talking point. Indubitably, these issues are of serious importance in a country such as ours and cannot be pushed into the fringes. The Indian Constitution does three things with respect to its interpretation of secularism- One, it recognises different religions as living entities in India, as opposed to say France. Two, it ensures that citizens have the right to practice and accommodate religion and belief in their daily life. Three, it staunchly advocates for the separation of religion from the governance machinery and institutions. For India to survive in its current form it is of extreme importance that this is held on to at all costs, as this is the base on which India and its multifarious citizenry coexists and law and order prevails. This also sets precedence for the larger space for culture, tradition and identity.
There are other "softer issues" of individual liberty, free speech, non-partisan academic systems, equality, tolerance and an open society that are necessary facets of a democracy. Given the eclecticism and plurality of every aspect of an Indian identity, it is these marginal issues that paint the character of the country and colour the enforcement of the rule of law in the long run. These should be of serious considerations and seen as values that are worth fighting for if we are to preserve the nature, rather than the idea of India.
The tragedy of these elections was that they tried to convince the Indian voter that India can have one of the three positive options—economic growth, development and good governance; or preservation of secularism, social welfare and poverty alleviation; or a revolutionary brigade of charged up political novices determined to offer clean, good governance that is responsive to its citizens needs. The Indian voter was asked to believe that one was the price to be paid for the other, before the new government was formed. The Indian voter forgot to be idealistic and demand everything from each of the parties contesting. Why should a government not ensure good governance, law and order, economic growth, explicit secularism and pluralism, industrialisation, liberty, health care, sanitation, education, infrastructure, development and an overall Utopian state of affairs? Why did an entire election find itself reduced to a debate over growth vs. secularism (with corruption as a fringe topic) instead or demands of growth, secularism and everything else nice?
Elections are a time for the voters to want the best from their candidates, to be convinced, to choose one over the others. It is a time to go beyond political realities and aspire towards perfection. As citizens, despite our ideology or leanings, we should have wanted a lot more than was offered in campaigns from all sides. The demands of the citizens should set the bar for the governance to come. It is only after the government is elected that it faces the push and pull factors of governance, and ensures that it prioritises, as it governs. The Indian citizens maybe, unfortunately forgot this. In less than a week, the new government will be declared. In all probability, it will be a coalition of some sort. There will be multiple ideologies and agendas that will emerge. Lets hope that the voter who may have thought these elections were a situation of binaries is not too disappointed.

I like the XDM better. It has a better trigger (not that much better though). Now, is it worth $150 more. I don't think so. But, I have an XDM 9 and it shoot great. bac102308-23-2012, 19:24XDm for sure. It just feels better in hand. countrygun08-23-2012, 20:23I have the M in .45 and I am lucky because i didn't have a choice, it was a gift from the wife. The odd thing is that I was sure I would like the smallest backstrap given the size of my mitts, but I ended up more comfortable with the middle size, which is about the same as the XDs. But as far as accuracy I am a big fan of the M. I don't know if the XDs are as accurate and I am not about to buy one to find out. It is noticably more accurate than my Glock 22. If they would just make it in 10mm. Dawolf08-23-2012, 21:33Accuracy in a "M"because it is a match grade barrel. The 45 is fantastic. NickC5031008-23-2012, 22:49The M is not more acurrate than the regular XD. At least not for me... maybe Im not a good enough shot. For the prices, I would do a regular XD unless you want it for carry then its XDM compact all the way. Both are GREAT. My first gun was an XD. Its now the nightstand gun. My newest gun is my XDM compact that I carry. 12 rounds in .40 in a small easily concealed package!!?? Hell yeah! Glock26z08-24-2012, 12:26I got a 3.8 XDm in 9mm with 3 19 round mags and 4 13 rounders and,it shoots just perfect for me. Bought it used from Cabela's for about $200 dollars. Had a rifle that I don't shoot anymore and I am disabled and don;t go hunting anymore because of finances and gas money. Had a Remington 7mm mag rifle and traded it. FireForged08-24-2012, 12:41XDM Barrel Mag Capacity Trigger reset 3 backstraps ( for my smallish hands) gasboffer08-24-2012, 20:23It is a rare XD that will feed SWC bullets. XDM feeds SWC. jellis1108-24-2012, 20:25I like my xd45 a little more than the xdm9. I actually don't shoot one better than the other, they are both about the same for me. BuckyP08-24-2012, 20:27It is a rare XD that will feed SWC bullets. XDM feeds SWC. My XD .45 Compact ate anything I fed it, including SWC, LSWCHP, etc. :dunno: cysoto08-24-2012, 21:15I tried and liked the XDm 9 (though I didn't care much for the 5.25) but in the end, I didn't like it enough to make want to switch away from a Glock. marh41508-25-2012, 16:45XDm for me, had one in .40 which I sold, then one in 9mm that I traded when the Gen 4 Glocks came out. Golddog08-25-2012, 19:49Shot an XDm 9mm for the first time today. Excellent sights and ergonomics, but what really caught me was the after-market Powder River Precision trigger - terrific pull and reset, one of the best triggers I've ever felt (and I've shot fine custom triggers on 1911's and CZ's). I shot the the pistol better than almost any handgun I've ever used, even though it was brand new to me. Restless2808-25-2012, 20:08I have experience with neither, but think its interesting marketing. Basically, it looks like SA said that the XD was crap and the XDM was Cadillac. glock274008-25-2012, 21:12I've owned the XDsc40, and XDm40 and sold them off. I still own the XD45 and XDm9. Out of all 4, the XD45 is my favorite and the XDm9 my close second. Not that I didn't like the XDm40, I just had a buddy who wanted it for what I had in it. The XDsc40 felt like I was holding a chunk of 2x4 in my hand. I think the whole line of XD/XDm guns are as good as anything Glock ever made and I'm a HUGE Glock fan. vBulletin® v3.8.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, vBulletin Solutions, Inc.

DamnSmall Linux.
Here's the story:
I found an old laptop at work ( umax ) it's screen's got a fault causing thin lines to appear on it most of the time. The memory is obviously faulty because it reports only 59MB at boot!!, at boot time it failed, saying no OS. Processor is AMD something, about 500mhz.
Enter Damn Small Linux.
I booted a live cd of DSL 1.1 and it was fine and loaded it's X desktop. I checked the hard disk and found the partition table was screwed. At this point no one in the office wanted the laptop, it was now mine!
Obviouly this isn't going to play Doom3 but I'm sure I can put it to use.
I did a HD install of DSL 1.1 and it was fine, the disk turned out to be almost 6gig.
Next I thought okay, lets set up a simple web site and use it as a web server, done. Next I got samba installed and working so I can store mp3's on it, done.
Okay, now how about storing my Doom3 sdk source code on it and setting up a cvs I can access from my main home machine and from work. Done.
Okay now the biggy, can I install gcc and see if I can actually build the gamex86.so for Doom3 from the sdk on this machine.
Whilst doing this I'm listening to mp3's using XMMs from the DSL install.
I downloaded and did dpkg -i for the following ( this was a first for me, normally I use .tar files or rpm's because I mainly work on SuSE ):
I got the contents of usr/include/GL from the Nvidia driver for linux and put it into /usr/include/GL
The result - in less then 12 hours, a dead laptop - revived and capable of useful things - playing music, surfing the web(Firefox 1.0.4), cvs server, web server(apache2), P2P file sharing(giFT+OpenFT+gnutella), local file server(Samba)
Test pages from this very laptop here:
As a small footnote, the day before I got QEMU for Windows and the DSL1.1.iso onto my usb key(128mb key with over 60mb still free space) now I can plug in my USB key into any windows machine(1.5ghz or better) and run DSL from the key, without rebooting!
Re: DamnSmall Linux.
Uhm... you do realize that there is a selection on the DSL fluxbox menu called "Enable Apt" that downloads and installs dpkg and apt-get for you, don't ya?
Anyway... yeah DSL is great.
I've played with several distros on my old laptop in the last week.... Feather is also pretty good, but I ended up going back to DSL. :)

Aye, Damn Small Linux is a damn fine distro. If you're interested in running Linux on an old machine, you might also want to check out Vector Linux.
Re: DamnSmall Linux.
I have DSL on one of those credit-card size CDRs. Its a cool toy.
