With the Olympic Games behind them, Americans have returned their attention to the stage of political theater. One of the opening acts of the 2012 election season will take place this week in Tampa, Fla., where serial flip-flopper Mitt Romney is expected to be anointed the executive standard bearer for the alleged "Party of Great Moral Ideas."
Despite the plethora of evidence proving that he is cut from the same statist mold as Barack Obama, Romney continues to be hailed as a "great conservative" and the vaunted "lesser of two evils." Republicans — as well as some libertarians and constitutionalists — point to Romney's selection of Representative Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) for Vice President as a sign of his commitment to limited government principles. Upon closer inspection, Ryan — who has been touted as the "intellectual leader" of the Republican Party and a budget hawk — has all the trappings of a textbook neocon.
Ryan faithfully toes the chicken hawk foreign policy line of nation building and bloody foreign interventions. He voted to invade Iraq in 2002, voted against any attempt to establish a withdrawal date from Iraq in 2007 and voted for "emergency" appropriation of $78 billion dollars to fund the illegal and immoral wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan. In keeping with the foremost neocon prerequisite, Ryan is more than happy to send young American soldiers off to fight and die while he, as a healthy and able-bodied American patriot, could not be bothered to carry a rifle and fight for the principles he claims to hold near and dear to his heart.
For someone who is being embraced in some circles as a libertarian, Ryan's voting record shows that he harbors no love for the Bill of Rights — or any facet of individual liberty, for that matter. This is the man who voted for the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act and its infamous indefinite detention provision, voted to make the Patriot Act permanent and voted in favor of using electronic surveillance on Americans without a duly approved search warrant. Under this criteria Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, Generalissimo Franco, Kim Jong Il and Saddam Hussein were all staunch civil libertarians.
"Now hold your horses there, MacCormack," some "libertarians" will say. "Paul Ryan may not be perfect, but at least he's a staunch defender of free enterprise. The CATO Institute said so!"
Ladies and gentlemen, if CATO told you to jump off a bridge, would you do it? It should be noted that the CATO Institute is widely panned by genuine libertarians and freedom lovers as a peddler of the faux "libertarianism" advocated from within the Capital Beltway. In order to curry favor with the Washington establishment, CATO has stumped for the following: torture, expansion of the surveillance state, a war with Pakistan, and the fiat currency factory known as the Federal Reserve.
But I've digressed… back to our buddy Ryan. Contrary to CATO's claim, his voting record proves that he is more a Keynesian than a disciple of Ayn Rand. In 2008, he voted for the Bush stimulus bill, TARP and the auto bailout. Ryan even took to the House floor to pathetically beg his colleagues in Congress to support TARP. He echoed George W. Bush's convoluted logic, stating:
Madam Speaker, this bill offends my principles. But I'm going to vote for this bill — in order to preserve my principles, in order to preserve this free enterprise system…. I believe with all my heart — as bad as this is — it could get a whole lot worse, and that's why we have to pass this bill.
If only it ended there. Ryan also backed the disastrous No Child Left Behind Act, which essentially bribed the public schools into passing their most deficient students in exchange for government goodies. The proof is in the pudding for that one: Just ask any American student who George Washington is. And for the grand finale: Paul voted in favor of Bush's massive expansion of Medicare which, coupled with Romneycare, set the precedent for Obamacare.
No genuine libertarian, constitutionalist or freedom lover of any kind believes in any of the nonsense supported by collectivists like Ryan and his keeper, Romney. All of the passionate "anybody but Obama" rhetoric notwithstanding, a Romney/Ryan Administration would serve only to slow America's drive off the cliff into moral and financial bankruptcy down from 100 mph to 90 mph. Ryan's much-ballyhooed budget would continue massive deficit spending for another 25 years at the least. But, of course, he and Romney "aren't quite as bad" as Obama.
The bottom line is: There was only one man named Paul who was worth supporting this year. I think you know who I'm talking about.
"Oh here we go again, MacCormack," I hear many of you whining. "That crazy kook had no chance! We've got to vote for the lesser of two evils! Romney's not so bad!"
I've said it once and I'll say it again: voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. To think otherwise is downright foolish. After all, the Bible says in Isaiah 5:20: "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness."
"Well then, what's your solution, big shot?" you'll retort. It's simple: Don't vote. When you pull that lever for Collectivist A or Collectivist B, you are giving your consent to their respective liberty-destroying agendas. As Lew Rockwell so astutely observed in a recent column:
How does voting change the situation? Neither of the candidates for president wants to do anything about the problem. On the contrary, they want to make it worse. This is for a reason. The State owns the "democratic process" as surely as it owns the Departments of Labor and Defense and uses it in ways that benefit the State and no one else.
On the other hand, we do have the freedom not to vote. No one has yet drafted us into the voting booth. I suggest that we exercise this right not to participate. It is one of the few rights we have left. Nonparticipation sends a message that we no longer believe in the racket they have cooked up for us, and we want no part of it.
You might say that this is ineffective. But what effect does voting have? It gives them what they need most: a mandate. Nonparticipation helps deny that to them. It makes them, just on the margin, a bit more fearful that they are ruling us without our consent. This is all to the good. The government should fear the people. Not voting is a good beginning toward instilling that fear.
This year especially there is no lesser of two evils. There is socialism or fascism. The true American spirit should guide every voter to have no part of either.
Consider those words long and hard before hightailing it to the polls this fall.
–Conor MacCormack

Tyco Audit Uncovers New Accounting Errors
This newest revelation marks the fourth time since October that the company has disclosed accounting problems, for a total of $2 billion. In March, Mr. Breen promised investors and analysts that he would get rid of the "crap" and "heads would roll" if he uncovered any more accounting problems.
Tyco, a Bermuda-based conglomerate, has been plagued with financial woes in the last year. Last September, the Securities and Exchange Commission filed suit [1] against three former top executives. The executives are accused of looting $600 million from the company through unauthorized pay and illicit stock sales.
Tyco's recent problems have come from the company's fire and security division, mainly the ADT security alarm unit. The Boston Globe reports [2] that an internal investigation led by prosecutor David Boies revealed that there had been "financial engineering" and aggressive accounting to pump up numbers. Internal auditors had also uncovered problems that resulted in this week's write-off.
Tyco's inability to count numbers properly extends even beyond dollar signs. A new method to determine the square footage of its global properties shows that its earlier assessments of office space were way off. In 2001, Tyco listed its total floor space of 89.5 million square feet. Due to a change in the systems for reporting space, for 2002, the number has been revised to 126.5 million square feet.

Whether you are planning a birthday party, a fundraiser, or even just a fun day of pizza and bowling, Santa Clarita Lanes has always been the ideal family entertainment center. They are currently home to Bowler's Pit Stop Pro Shop, Vincenzo's Pizza & Lounge, King Pin Amusement, Dave Cutchell Electric, and this summer, they are happy to welcome the newest member of their family, the Santa Clarita Lanes Watch and Wager Facility.
Santa Clarita Lanes owner, Tom Cristi, says, "The new facility will be like going to the clubhouse at the racetrack. It will be fully equipped with wagering windows, beautiful décor, and food and beverage services." Here, families can enjoy the delicious Vincenzo's menu, since it will replace the arcade in the restaurant, while trying their luck at off-track betting – placing bets on the horse races outside the track. Instead of making the long drive all the way to the Ventura Fair or Antelope Valley Fair, you will be able to enjoy the horse races right here in your hometown of Santa Clarita. Better yet, admission is free, which is something you can't find at the fair.
Still a bit skeptical? Rest assured, the facility will be fully operated by the California Horse Racing Board and will be used strictly for horse racing. Cristi says that after he received approval from the Santa Clarita City Council, he made sure to notify all regular Santa Clarita Lanes bowlers of the changes. There will be security in the facility at all times and players have to abide by state regulations.
A day at the horse races has always been a great family pastime and Santa Clarita Lanes simply wishes to bring the fun closer to home. Cristi assures Santa Clarita residents, "Nothing at Santa Clarita Lanes will change. Our priority is and will always be family entertainment."
Renovation for the Santa Clarita Lanes Watch and Wager Facility began Wednesday, May 16, and the tentative opening is the weekend of July 6, 2012. The Watch and Wager Facility will be open during the day Thursdays through Sundays, in the evening Fridays through Sundays, and for the races on Monday holidays.

A tragic event in Albuquerque on June 25 cast a pall on the July 4 weekend. According to a front-page article by Albuquerque Journal writer Hailey Heinz, "A woman attending a church conference in Albuquerque with her husband didn't call for medical treatment while giving birth to twins in a hotel room, even as one of the newborns struggled to breathe. ... That child died while church members gathered in prayer. ... Samuel and Tammy Kaufman told police at the scene they did not believe in man's medicine, only God, and that their child's death was God's will."
The idea of parents praying over their suffocating, dying infant instead of calling for medical help shocked the city. Still, one Journal reader responded in a letter to the editor, stating assuredly that prayer had been proven to work. And I'd heard the same from several churchgoing friends of mine, who were sure science had proven the power of prayer.
It's a common belief—and one that appears in several New Age books, such as those by Santa Fe's own Larry Dossey—but the evidence simply does not support the claim. Intercessory prayer (petitioning a higher power on behalf of a patient, as the Kaufmans did) has been studied, and there's no evidence it works. Several studies have been done to see if people who are prayed for recover any faster (or are cured of disease at a higher rate) than those who are not prayed for. All showed no proof that it works.
I would hope that if God knows you need help, He would bestow it without being begged to do so.
This is scientific confirmation of the obvious: Evidence of the failure of prayer is all around us. Every day in the newspaper and on the nightly news there are countless stories of injured people—from car accident victims to wounded police officers—almost all of whom have people praying for their recovery. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't; but it is the secular, scientific medical treatment that makes the difference.
It also seems rather cruel and capricious for a benevolent God to only help those who He is asked to help. Presumably, a lone hiker in the wilderness suddenly struck unconscious and mortally wounded in a rock slide would be ignored by God if no one knew of his circumstances and offered prayers for him, while a man struck down by lightning in front of his family would get God's immediate attention. I would hope that if God knows you need help, He would bestow it without being begged to do so.
Like the Kaufmans, most believers in the efficacy of prayer frame the idea so that their assumption cannot be disproven. If the prayed-for person improves or recovers, it is seen as a blessing, and an obvious sign that prayer worked. If the prayed-for person stays the same, the fact that the person did not get worse (or even die) can be seen as answered prayer. If the prayed-for person gets worse or dies, it is not seen as a failure of prayer but instead the result of God's will. Faith is a fine thing, but it should be tempered with common sense and a respect for evidence.
Robert Ingersoll, one of the great orators of the 19th century, concluded, "Prayer is beggary—an effort to get something for nothing. Labor is the honest prayer." Indeed, it is the hard work of police officers, EMTs and doctors that cure people and save lives—not the unanswered requests of higher powers.

Caller-Times review: Meeting topics lack key details
Boards often close doors to residents
CORPUS CHRISTI - Coastal Bend elected officials have met behind closed doors about unnamed lawsuits and personnel, vague legal matters and subjects prohibited from executive session.
A Caller-Times review of agendas and minutes from 22 cities, six counties and eight school districts showed these public entities often failed to provide enough information to fully inform citizens about the topics discussed behind closed doors.
Some entities routinely named specific items under their executive session agendas. Kingsville Independent School District on Jan. 11 posted the specific name of a lawsuit and on May 11, the agenda contained the specific titles of employees discussed. The June 8 Taft City Council agenda noted an executive session to discuss pending litigation with the Taft Volunteer Emergency Medical Services Inc.
But some other councils and school boards violated the Open Meetings Act when they talked about items not included in the act's exceptions that allow closed-door sessions.
The Driscoll City Council went into a closed-door session Feb. 15 to discuss personnel issues, according to the agenda. According to the minutes, the council discussed with the attorney the city's finances and budget, topics that are not allowed to be discussed in executive session, according to the Texas Open Meetings Act. The council then voted to lay off a police officer and a finance director.
Robstown Independent School District trustees met in executive session Nov. 10, 2009, to talk about the process for selecting a new superintendent. On Jan. 12, the trustees met again behind closed doors to discuss appointing a superintendent search committee. While the law allows school board to meet in closed session to discuss which superintendent to hire, officials are prohibited from discussing privately the search process, desired qualifications and appointing a search committee.
Other governmental entities often included boilerplate language on agendas, such as "personnel" or "legal matters," without specifying which particular employees or what specific litigation elected officials intended to discuss.
The Texas Open Meetings Act allows governmental bodies to discuss specific items behind closed doors, but only if they first convene in open session and identify the sections of the act authorizing the executive session.
There are 15 provisions under which elected officials can talk privately. Those provisions most often used include consultations with attorney, deliberations about real property and personnel matters.
While the act does not require governmental bodies to list every employee's title or name every lawsuit to be discussed, state courts have ruled that municipalities should be as specific as possible when matters to be discussed behind closed doors are of special interest to the public.
The city of Beeville violated the act when it held a series of executive sessions during October and November 2009 about personnel, not including further details about whom the council would discuss, and then convened into open session to hire a new city manager.
The Texas Supreme Court ruled that it is OK for school board members to discuss librarians and teachers under the generic "personnel" label, but it is not acceptable for them to talk about a superintendent.
The court also ruled it is not acceptable to use the generic term "litigation" when discussing a major lawsuit that had occupied the district's time for years.
"If I'm talking about 50 different tax collection matters ... or unpaid student library bills, I don't have to put it on the agenda," said attorney John Bell, who counsels cities and school districts throughout the area. "If I'm talking about a lawsuit filed by the Friends of the Coliseum, I would have to list that as a case."
Laura Lee Prather, president of the Freedom of Information Foundation of Texas, said she believes governmental entities ought to err on the side of being more specific, rather than less specific, even if the law does not expressly require them to do so.
Area governments often used these generic terms to discuss legal issues, lawsuits and personnel. While allowed under the Open Meetings Act, Prather said these generic terms don't give the public a good idea of what's being discussed. For example:
n Aransas Pass City Council convened into executive session May 17 and July 6 to talk about legal matters, and on Aug. 16, talked about pending litigation without noting on the agenda or minutes what litigation was discussed.
n San Patricio County Commissioners routinely meet behind closed doors to talk about personnel, without saying whom they are talking about.
n Agendas for Rockport City Council, Calallen ISD, Flour Bluff ISD and Corpus Christi ISD frequently contained boilerplate executive session language without identifying specific topics to be discussed. For example, on March 8, the CCISD board met behind closed doors for 30 minutes to talk about "legal matters" and "personnel matters" before voting to approve personnel actions recommended by the administration in closed session.
It's difficult to say how often governmental entities statewide misuse executive sessions because individual district attorneys, not a state department, enforce the act.
The Texas Attorney General's office only provides training on the Open Meetings Act but does not enforce it. Officials with the office declined to comment about compliance with the Open Meetings Act, instead directing questions to the office's Open Meetings Act handbook.
According to the Caller-Times analysis, governmental entities sometimes discussed items prohibited from closed-door sessions. For example:
n Agua Dulce City Council met in July to discuss employee work ethic behind closed doors.
n Sinton City Council on Feb. 16 discussed "status of the issues with the golf association," a topic that routinely appeared under the executive session in the weeks following.
Robstown ISD Board President Robert Tapia said the board often looks to its attorney to define what's allowed, and what's not allowed, in closed-door meetings. Prather said elected officials, who have been required since 2006 to receive Open Meetings Act training, sometimes fall into problems because they've received bad advice.
"There's nothing about the act now that makes it inherently difficult to follow," she said.

School funding appears to be the main difference between Democrat and Republican negotiators as lawmakers work to pass a state budget before the end of the fiscal year deadline of Tuesday at midnight EDT. House Ways and Means Committee Vice-Chairman Scott Pelath (D-9) wants lawmakers to do whatever is necessary short of a tax hike to provide adequate funding to every school district. That could involve dipping deeper into state reserves than Republicans anticipated.

Governor Mitch Daniels (R) has stated he wants any two year package to include reserves of $1 billion.
Our partners at Network Indiana/WIBC report Senate Appropriations Committee Chairman Luke Kenley (R-20) would be more comfortable with a reserve of $1.3 billion.
Also from the continuing budget negotiations, House Speaker Pat Bauer (D-6) has suggested a two-year budget plan would be acceptable, even though the House passed a one-year financial blueprint earlier in the special session.
But he says school funding remains a key stumbling block in the budget talks.

Physicians Discuss Latest Key to Looking Younger at American Society of
Plastic Surgeons Annual Meeting
BALTIMORE, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- One facelift or Botox(R) injection does not fit all when it comes to looking younger. In fact, plastic surgeons analyze facial features and configurations to individualize results based on the decade of life a patient is in, say presenters today at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) Plastic Surgery 2007 conference in Baltimore.
"The composition of the human face varies person to person. As we age and enter certain decades of life, these variations become more distinct," said Malcolm Paul, MD, ASPS Member Surgeon and panel presenter. "Different facial configurations require different surgical and non-surgical approaches to achieve optimal results in facial rejuvenation. The decade of life one is in has tremendous impact on whether surgery, injectable wrinkle fillers or a combination delivers the best results."
Patients in their 30s, who have had limited sun exposure, often show signs of aging first in their eyes and temple area with crow's feet and some bulging of the eyelid. With minimal loss of volume at this point, fillers or Botox often smooth out the unsightly lines that people dread quickly and easily.
As patients enter their 40s, the midface begins to shift as the cheeks lose fat and laugh lines set in. Much like a balloon losing air, the cheeks become deflated toward the late 40s and the jowls begin to sag. To help restore their youthful appearance, patients can expect a combination of fillers as well as minimal lifting procedures such as a mid-face or short-scar lift.
By the mid-50s, the skin has relaxed and requires the most attention around the neck. In addition, the skin around the face usually has fallen and repositioned itself, needing a more extensive combination of a facelift, fillers or implants to rejuvenate the face.

Hate the Yankees for being the Yankees, for their 27 World Series championships, for the way they've so often dominated the headlines and network-television coverage as well as the opposition. Decry them for their major role in the economics that make MLB such an uneven playing field. Blame them for driving up the salaries and prices, for making "free agency" such a contradiction in terms, and for being so bloody superior.
Love the fact that the Yankees are having a down year. Chuckle a little at what they got themselves into -- and can't seem to get out of -- with Alex Rodriguez. Talk about karma coming back to kick you in the teeth.
But also thank the Yankees for more than the bigger crowds and those revenue-sharing checks. Had the '98 Padres taken their last pennant up against anybody but the Yankees – the winners of 125 games that year, including a sweep of the Padres – the post-Series fervor that was converted to a new ballpark in downtown San Diego might not have been so powerful.
Then again, if they hadn't been matched against one of the best Yankees teams of all time, the Padres might actually have won a World Series.
Besides, a little hate could be a healthy thing.
"The Yankees have always been great for baseball, for all of baseball," said Street before the start of the three-game series. "You need that rivalry. You need all the people that don't understand that to hate them. Otherwise, we'd just all be in love with them.
"I'm not pulling against them today -- and I'm playing against them. Know what I mean? I want to win. I want to beat them. But sometimes I don't think people don't quite understand what the Yankees are about."
The Power of the Pinstripe.

with which racquet will play federer at australian open?
I am thinking to buy new Wilson proStaff raquet these days..(when will be available to buy.. let me know)
but I don't know if Wilson will release another racquet during Australian open.
Thank you in advance!!
I don't get it. What does his paintjob have anything to do with your racquet of choice?
I don't know what seems to you weird to my question.
Me I just want to know if a new Wilson raquet will appear at Australian open!
That was the title of my thread
If I remember correctly, he's going to be playing with the new prostaff... it's going to be released sometime early January (before Australian Open).
The last edition of PS95 was marvellous. I don't think there will be some radical constructive development of the blade except for some more ugly PJ.
He'll be played buy a new paint job. Racquet is the same(older pro staff
I've heard) no new frame
So he's not going with that Blade-like prototype?
Anyways...Don't think at this point in his career Rog will try anything different at a slam, maybe he'll experiment at a minor tourney, but slams represent precious few remaining op's and I think that is too much pressure to mentally accept a drastic gear change...no matter what the "Paintjob" implies....fact is as long as Rog is around I think the Pro Staff 90 will be...after him it's extinct...at least until they cash in on the predictable"limited addition re-issue".

Would be nice if it could remember our login info...also would be nice if it had that photo option that Bank of America has where you can take a picture of checks and submit as a deposit, especially since some of the branches are soooo slow!
(50 stars)
Just got an HTC one and it kicks me over to the phone screen ready to dial whoever I spoke with last as soon as I touch a number to enter a dollar amount for a funds transfer. This renders it useless for anything interactive. All I can do is look at balances and transactions. The app ran flawlessly on my previous device and I really miss using it.
(50 stars)
It selects all and wants to make a call.
(50 stars)
The app doesn't tell you that if you increase the number of transactions visible on the pc version, transactions don't appear on the phone version. Also, trying to do a transfer results in switching to the phonecall app after keying the first digit of the transfer amount.
(50 stars)
Needs a bill pay feature.
(50 stars)
It could be a lot better
(50 stars)
Would be nice if the app was a little more polished in appearance. Would like to see a bill pay feature....ASAP!! Also it appears to have a bug in the transfer feature, every time I try to type in an amount to transfer, it reads the numbers as a phone number and tries to make a call

Djokovic Hungry For More Major Titles
Melbourne, Australia
by James Buddell|
Novak Djokovic, who won his first Grand Slam championship title in three years on Sunday, insisted he can now go on and lift further major trophies after beating Andy Murray for his second Australian Open title.
Watch Final Highlights | Interviews
"I am more focused and dedicated to the sport than I have ever been before," said Djokovic. "I'm living the dream of a tennis player ... I don't want to stop here. Definitely I want to keep my body healthy, fit, and ready for some more challenges to come. I feel that I have a good game for all the surfaces.
"Still Rafa [Nadal] and Roger [Federer] are the two best players in the world. No question about that. [But] it's nice to see that there are some new players in the later stages of Grand Slams fighting for a title. That's all I can say."
Djokovic, who beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga for his first major title at the Australian Open in 2008, believes he is a better player now that his initial Grand Slam success.
Match Report: Djokovic Captures Second Major Title
Match Analysis: How The Final Was Won
The 23-year-old Serbian admitted: "I feel like a more experienced player. I feel a better player now than I was three years ago, because I think that physically I'm stronger, I'm faster, mentally I'm more motivated on the court. I know how to react in certain moments, and I know how to play on a big stage.
"It's the best possible start of the season, very short off season, but I was building up my confidence, and taking the Davis Cup title, taking that confidence into the preparation for Australian Open. The Davis Cup win may have a big role in my great performance here in this tournament. After we won Davis Cup title I was feeling great on the court, just eager to compete."
This time last year there were question marks over his service motion, but since reaching the Wimbledon semi-finals (l. to Berdych) in July, Djokovic has grown in confidence.
"It's been a big mental struggle, because I was trying to separate my professional life from my more private life. [But] it's all about hard work and patience, I guess. There is no secrets. Of course, I was aware of what I do wrong. But once it gets into your head, it's really hard to get it out of your habit. I worked hard the last 10 months, and now it's back."
Djokovic believes Murray, a former junior rival, is capable of lifting a Grand Slam trophy.
"He's, first of all, a very talented player and he's a hard worker. He's been in finals three times, and he just needs to make that final step. Of course, it's not easy. You could see his struggle and frustrations. But it's a learning process. It wasn't easy for me, as well. I know how he feels. He's still young. I'm sure he's going to have more chances to win it.
But Djokovic warned the strength in depth in men's tennis has improved a lot in recent years, so it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain success. "I think tennis has improved so much in the last couple of years," he said.
"It's incredible. To compare the tennis from 2007, 2008, to the tennis of 2010, 2011, I have the feeling the ball is travelling much faster, they're big hitters, big servers. So in order to keep up, you have to be always dedicated professional and consistent with your success."

Trunk rotation and the forehand...
i play fairly old school, but for the more open stance forehand, is it important to rotate not only the shoulders but also the trunk..? that may be the reason my forehands let me down again and again.. help me out guys.. :)
Yes of course. You should rotate from the hips and the shoulders will follow. Not sure what else to say other than to go and watch some slow motion videos on youtube or something of the pros, or any of the tennis sites with videos like fuzzy yellow balls, lock and roll etc.
you really should not try to think shoulder rotation. this will lead to an upper body dominant swing. focus on driving the hips/trunk around while even keeping the shoulders a little bit closes initially.
then the shoulders will follow. you don't teach shoulder rotation this is in tennis like in baseball. the shoulders do eventually rotate (well actually the spine is rotating-the shoulders can't rotate they are just attached to the spine).

Excellent chicken and chips. Brilliant take away service. Many other options available but the chicken is what always pulls us back there. Fantastic option after a long day at the beach or a late flight arrival.
Fast, tasty and excellent value.
Known for its chicken and chips which aren't bad but I suggest takeaway is best as our restaurant experience was pretty poor.
Very cheap and you get what you pay for.
This place is ALWAYS packed on Sundays and the locals know why. Great plates of chicken amongst other things for very cheap.
Fantastic experience to eat roast chicken in chiclana cadiz good food and nice staff. We would like back soon
I'm sorry, maybe I don't get it but "best chicken in the world" ??? The chicken you can get from them is average, nothing I haven't had better yet. The dining room is poor, cheap and nothing to recommend seriously. The french fries are greasy and not good, sorry but that's just my experience.

*Carolina will supply the opposition for the Giants final regular-season game at Giants Stadium on Dec. 27. The Giants will open the Cowboys new stadium with a Sunday night game on Sept. 20. The Cowboys opened Giants Stadium back in 1976.
*The Giants will have five prime-time games, three on Sunday nights, one on a Monday night plus Thanksgiving night in Denver. They wound up playing five prime-time games in 2008.
*For the second straight season the Giants will open at home against the Washington Redskins. Last time they opened two seasons in a row at home against the same team was 1991-92 vs. San Francisco.
*For the second straight season the Giants will end their season playing the Vikings in the Minneapolis Metrodome. Last time they finished on the road against the same team was at 1949-50 in Philadelphia.
*The Nov. 15 bye (10th week) is the latest for the Giants since 2001, when they were off on Dec. 2. Last year their bye was in Week 4. "We play nine games before the bye," said coach Tom Coughlin. "I think that's better for us. The bye gives the players, I think, an opportunity to play a long stretch against high-quality opponents and then have a little break."

"What we've discovered is that electrons respond beautifully to this buckling of the material's surface," said Madhavan, the project director.
So harmoniously do the waves flow across the ripples placed approximately 100 nanometers apart that the researchers say further modifications of the crystal's "nanoscale landscape" could produce enough control to produce a one-dimensional quantum wire capable of carrying current with no dissipation.
The rippled surface appears to exert greater control and run less risk of creating imperfections than other methods, such as introducing chemical dopants, used in attempts to modulate the flow of electrons on the surface of other topological insulators, the researchers found.
Madhavan said the team had to provoke the electrons, which lay placidly atop the surface-state of the insulator, much like the glassy surface of an undisturbed lake. The team disrupted the electrons by introducing impurities, which had an effect similar to that of dropping a stone in a calm lake. This provocation produced waves of electrons that behave like waves of light as they travel pathways that mirror the contours created in the crystal.
"We did not expect the electrons to follow the topography," said Madhavan. "The topography imposes a sinusoidal potential upon the waves. The ripples create that potential by giving the electrons a landscape to follow. This is a way of possibly manipulating these electrons in topological insulators."

Saludos Desde El Salvador...
So after being 'stuck' in/around Antigua for over a week I finally navigated my way out of town for border crossing numero tres into El Salvador. I left around 10am and the ride started off uneventful. The roads out led through several small towns and villages. However, just as I was about to turn onto a major road I was stopped by a police officer. He said there was a bus crash about 10km up and it was "impossible to pass". There were around 25 cars parked with people just sitting around mingling, eating, and looking depressed since they knew they'd probably be stuck there for quite awhile. I talked to a local and he said I may be able to pass on a bike, so without hesitation I set off. I drove less than 1km and ran into the worst traffic jam I've ever seen. Trucks, cars, rickshaws, chicken buses, etc all parked with the drivers just out talking and wondering what would happen next. Apparently they had been there for hours and nobody expected it would clear anytime soon. I started snaking and weaving through slowly. I was on road, off road, left, right, up the middle, all over the place.
I got about 8km into the mess and finally approached the wreck. It was absolute madness. They had parked around 30 chicken buses on either side of the crash to block people from passing, and I'm assuming to keep rubberneckers away. Just as I was thinking I wouldn't be able to make it through and would have to turn back, I noticed an ambulance up ahead that had loaded someone in the back. He kicked his lights on and had a police escort to continue through the mess the way I was headed. I stomped the bike into gear and shoved my way through. Just as I got to the ambulance the crowd was starting to make way and he started through. The police truck behind the ambulance stopped, the driver looked at me to figure out what the hell I was up to. After he realized I was hitching a ride through the madness he gave me a thumbs up and our VIP parade of three was off. We finally made our way through and at the end I passed both the police and ambulance with a very thankful wave.
After that it was smooth sailing to the border. I arrived and was immediately swarmed by helpers trying to talk me into their services. Everyone always says to avoid them, but sometimes they really do make it easy. After the bus crash delay I decided I would grab one of them to usher me through both sides of the border. I ended up with a nice guy named Anthony. We chatted quite a bit during the process and I learned that he had three young kids and lived in New York for a bit of time. He probably saved me an hour or two and had his brother watch over the bike as we walked all over. In the end I gave him $5 and he was grateful. So grateful in fact that I added in a couple of coins. So my tip for fellow motorcycle travelers, for what it's worth, sometimes it isn't so bad to get a little inexpensive help from the locals.
The roads in El Salvador are distinctly different from Mexico and Guatemala. I find them to be a little lower on the quality scale (i.e. potholes, gravel, etc), but with one thing in common, they still feel the need to build topes/tumulos/speed bumps every-freaking-where! Ruta de Las Flores is short, but filled with epic scenery. Then as I got closer to the coast the road was perfection. I winded my way up and down mountainsides directly next to the beautiful coast. There were even a few super sketch tunnels through some of the hills with zero light inside. It is a bit of a strange feeling being in a long tunnel and all you see is a chicken bus or semi coming directly at you. After stopping a few times to soak it in and snap a few pics, I arrived at my destination in El Tunco. I found a hotel right away, but they wanted $55. I kept on down the road (there are only two) and found the Layback Hostel. Everyone inside was super chill and they had a bed for $7. So here I am writing this from the communal patio here at Layback.
I woke up today with plans to put together a route to Leon, Nica. However, two border crossings in one day, along with 287 miles seems a bit much. So, I'll leave either tomorrow or Saturday and head in that direction with a brief overnight stop somewhere in Honduras. I hear great things about Leon, so I'm looking forward to being there for a few days. In addition to the small colonial town, apparently you can climb a volcano and sand board down the other side, which sounds like a bit of fun.
During my ride yesterday it dawned on me that I've been saying something a lot lately. I thought about the bus crash delay, along with the border hassles. It could have easily put me in a bad mood, but I didn't let it. In fact, as I crested a hill towards the coast and looked out over the ocean for the first time since Mexico I found myself saying it again... "you can't have the good without the bad". I've started to realize that the really great things in life require challenge, and a bit of pain blended in with pleasure. Without it, how would we know when things are special? El Tunco is a magic place, but I know I'm enjoying it much more due to the challenges of the day, and the trip overall.
I guess that's enough rambling for now... I'm off to enjoy the good, because the bad will surely happen soon enough (most certainly at the double border crossing through Honduras).
Hasta pronto amigos!

Arsene Wenger remains confident Robin van Persie will stay at Arsenal next season, and has rubbished suggestions his captain would be moving to Italian champions Juventus.
Van Persie has yet to resolve his long-term future, with a year left to run on his current Gunners contract.
The Dutchman held preliminary talks with Arsenal before he left for what turned out to be a disappointing UEFA EURO 2012 campaign as the Netherlands failed to progress past the group stage following three defeats.
Van Persie, 28, plundered some 37 goals in all competition to help fire Arsenal back into the third place in the Premier League - and with it automatic qualification into the UEFA Champions League once again.
Wenger, though, insists speculation of a big-money move away from Emirates Stadium, with English champions Manchester City also reported to be preparing a lucrative offer as well as the Serie A winners, are all wide of the mark.
Wenger told Corriere Dello Sport: "I am certain that Robin will remain with us. If you want to know why I am so certain that Robin will remain with us is because there is no reason in this world why a great player like Van Persie should go and play for you, in Italy and in your competition. Your football is at an inferior level to the Premier League."
Arsenal are keen to show their intent for next season with more signings to follow Germany forward Lukas Podolski. A £13m move for France forward Olivier Giroud is, according to Montpellier's officials, at an advanced stage.
Signing the 25-year-old, who scored 25 goals last season to help Montpellier win the Ligue 1 title, would be likely to lead to some of Arsenal's fringe players being sold, including Nicklas Bendtner, Marouane Chamakh, Carlos Vela and Denilson.

September 2006
- Yeshiva University announced that its immediate past chairman, fertilizer and oil magnate Ronald Stanton, was giving $100 million to the school -- believed to be the highest amount of money ever pledged to a Jewish cause.
- The remains of more than 50 people, many of them children, were discovered in a mass grave in Menden, Germany. Experts suspected the dead were victims of the Nazis' so-called euthanasia program, in which disabled people were murdered.
- Israel said it would continue air force flights over Lebanon. Defense Minister Amir Peretz said the surveillance flights over Lebanon were needed to track arms shipments to Hezbollah from neighboring Syria, two months after a cease-fire ended what would be later designated as Israel's Second Lebanon War.
- The Democratic Party won back the U.S. House of Representatives for the first time since 1994 and also gained control of the Senate. Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), the Orthodox Jew who was the Democrats' vice presidential nominee in 2000, kept his seat even though he lost in the Democratic primary to liberal Ned Lamont. Six new Jewish members of Congress and two new Jewish senators were elected. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-San Francisco), who has close ties to many Jewish groups, was chosen as Speaker of the House.
- The United Jewish Communities (UJC) refocused its annual General Assembly (GA) to focus on fundraising for rebuilding Israel's North after the country's war in Lebanon. By the time of the GA in Los Angeles, the UJC had raised $320 million for its Israel Emergency Campaign. By the end of the Jewish year, it has raised some $360 million.
- Talks on forming a unity government in the Palestinian Authority were suspended. Palestinians had hoped that by bringing the more moderate Fatah into the government, a Western aid embargo imposed when Hamas came to power in March could be removed. But the Islamist terrorist group rejected donor nations' conditions that it recognize Israel and renounce terrorism.
- The Conservative movement's legal authorities approved a rabbinic opinion allowing ordination of gay and lesbian rabbis and sanctioning same-sex unions. The move followed years of internal debate over whether to reverse the traditional ban on gay clergy. The Jewish Theological Seminary's new chancellor, Arnie Eisen, later announced it would accept gay and lesbian students to its rabbinical and cantorial schools.
- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad hosted a conference that brought together Holocaust revisionists including David Duke and members of Neturei Karta, an ultra-Orthodox anti-Zionist group. Titled "The International Conference to Review the Global Vision of the Holocaust," it sparked international outrage.
- Casino mogul Sheldon Adelson and his wife, Miriam, made their first pledge of $5 million to help bankroll Birthright Israel trips. That gift was followed in February by an additional $25 million and another $30 million in August.
- The U.N. Security Council voted to impose sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program. The resolution demanded that Tehran end all research on uranium enrichment and halt research and development that can make or deliver atomic weapons. The resolution, watered down to meet Russian demands, did not permit the use of force if Iran does not comply.
- Longtime Jerusalem mayor Teddy Kollek died.
- Former President Jimmy Carter discussed his controversial book, "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid," at Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass. The book, published in November, blamed Israel for the failure of Middle East peace. It sparked widespread debate and prompted 14 Jewish members of the Carter Center board to resign in protest. Democratic leaders had distanced themselves from Carter's views.
- A Palestinian suicide bomber killed three in an Eilat bakery. Islamic Jihad and the Al-Aksa Military Brigades, a Fatah-linked group, claimed responsibility for the attack.
- Masorti Jews reached a compromise with the government over the freedom of men and women to daven together at an area of the Western Wall. Israel's Conservative movement dropped its Supreme Court appeal after the government agreed to enforce mixed groups' ability to worship for free at a site at the southern end of the Wall.
- U.S. Secretary of State Condolezza Rice, Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas met in Jerusalem. Olmert and Rice reiterated the international preconditions for the resumption of aid to the PA -- renouncing violence, recognizing Israel and adhering to past peace accords.
- A Holocaust denier was arrested in New Jersey in connection with a Feb. 1 attack on Elie Wiesel, who was attending an interfaith forum in San Francisco. Eric Hunt apparently wanted to force Wiesel to recant his wartime memoir "Night." He was extradited to California, where he pled insanity and apologized to Wiesel in court.
- Vandals sprayed neo-Nazi graffiti on a Jewish kindergarten in Berlin and attempted to set fire to the building. The incident marked a new level in attacks on Jews in Germany.
- An Israeli government report found that Israel's Muslim minority has a far greater birth rate than the Jewish majority. Data released by the Industry and Trade Ministry showed Jewish women had an average of 2.69 children, compared to Muslim women who give birth, on average, to 4 children.
- Vice President Dick Cheney told the AIPAC annual policy conference that it was hypocritical for activists to demand tougher action on Iran while not supporting the Iraq War.
- A German court sentenced Germar Rudolf to two and a half years in jail for anti-Jewish incitement and Holocaust denial. He claimed in a 1991 article that the Nazis did not gas Jews at Auschwitz. Rudolf was sentenced to 14 months by a German court in 1995, but fled the country. He was deported in November 2005.
- Liviu Librescu was one of 32 victims killed by a student gunman at Virginia Tech. The engineering professor, a Holocaust survivor who had moved to Israel, was shot while blocking the doorway to his classroom. He prevented the South Korean gunman from entering and enabled all but one of his students to escape through the window.
- U.S. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-San Fransico), the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, delivered a message to Syrian leader Bashar Assad, saying Israel is ready to talk peace. Israeli Prime Minister Olmert immediately issued a "clarification" saying Syria must first end its backing for terrorism. Pelosi and her delegation say they conveyed that message, and Olmert called Pelosi later to smooth over the flap. The White House slammed Pelosi for what officials said was an attempt to conduct an independent foreign policy.
- Federal Judge T.S. Ellis III rejected a government proposal to close the trial of two former American Israel Public Affairs Committee staffers. Ellis ruled the request unconstitutional. Former senior staffers Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman were indicted in August 2005 and now face a trial date of Jan. 14, 2008.
- The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a ban on late-term abortions. Most Jewish groups opposed the decision, which rolled back women's privacy protections established in the court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision.
- Russian Jews remembered President Boris Yeltsin, Russia's first democratically elected president, as the one who ended decades of state-sanctioned anti-Semitism.
- An Israeli governmental report sharply criticized Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's management of the 2006 war in Lebanon. The Winograd Commission's report said there was a "serious failure in exercising judgment, responsibility and prudence" in the government's handling of the war. Despite a 100,000 person rally against Olmert in Tel Aviv and a call from Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni to resign, Olmert stood firm in his decision to stay in office.
- The Jim Joseph Foundation announced the first of its long-awaited grants, designating four gifts, the largest, $2.5 million, to B'nai B'rith Youth Organization's Youth Professional Initiative. In July, the foundation announced an $11.2 million grant to the Foundation for Jewish Camping to target preteens in communities west of the Rockies.
- Edgar Bronfman, who served as president of the World Jewish Congress (WJC) for nearly 30 years, resigned. The move came two months after Bronfman fired his close associate and a top WJC official, Rabbi Israel Singer. Bronfman claimed Singer stole money from the WJC, an allegation Singer denied. The WJC elected Ronald Lauder as its interim president in June, with officials voicing hope the organization could get past its years of legal and internal wrangling.
- The Labor Party ousted Amir Peretz as its leader in an internal vote, which followed a government-appointed commission that cited his mishandling of the Second Lebanon War. In the June runoff, former Prime Minister Ehud Barak beat Ami Ayalon, whom Peretz ultimately backed, by a narrow margin.
- The Museum of the History of Polish Jews broke ground in Warsaw. To be completed in 2009, the museum will be the largest Jewish institution of its kind in Europe, commemorating the 1,000 years of history of what was the largest Jewish community in Europe before World War II.
- The United Jewish Communities (UJC) passed a $40.2 million budget, allocating a significant portion to a restructuring plan aimed at boosting the sagging campaigns of the North American Jewish federations. According to the plan, the UJC will dissolve its pillar system, beef up its office in Israel to oversee Israel and foreign affairs and ramp up its domestic consulting services to help individual federations.
- Human Rights First released a report concluding that anti-Semitism in Western Europe is at unprecedented levels, and European governments are woefully inept at measuring and thus prosecuting hate crimes.
- Shimon Peres, 83, was elected Israel's ninth president, a largely ceremonial role, for a seven-year term. The Nobel Prize winner has held virtually every top civilian post in Israel during his 60-year career, including that of prime minister.
- Hamas gunmen took over the Gaza Strip after routing the rival Fatah at a key Palestinian Authority security compound. Hamas declared victory after seizing the Preventive Security Service compound in Gaza City, a last stronghold of PA President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah in the coastal territory.
- Israeli President Moshe Katsav confessed to sexual misconduct under a plea bargain that spared him more serious rape charges and possible prison time. He resigned his presidency early as part of the plea.
- The Catholic Church's decision to allow the use of the Latin Mass sparked a to-do between Jews and Catholics. Pope Benedict XVI issued a declaration authorizing wider use of the Latin Mass, an older form of Catholic worship that includes a prayer read only on Good Friday for the conversion of the Jews.
- President Bush announced a major new initiative aimed at bolstering Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The plan included tens of millions of new funding for the Palestinian Authority, as well as $30 billion in new military aid to Israel and a reported $20 billion in arms sales to Saudia Arabia. The arms sale to Saudi Arabia was seen as a way to entice Riyadh to attend an American-hosted international peace conference on Israel and the Palestinians in the fall.
- The Broward County School Board in South Florida approved two measures that effectively give a green light to the nation's only Hebrew-language charter school. The Ben-Gamla Charter School, to open for the new school year, will be operated by a private company, Academica, under the direction of Adam Siegel, an Orthodox rabbi.
- More than 100 members of the U.S. House of Representatives signed a letter warning President Bush they would try to stop his proposed arms sale to Saudi Arabia.
- Jean-Marie Lustiger, a Jewish-born convert to Catholicism who became a top Vatican figure, died. A former archbishop of Paris, he was the son of Polish Jewish refugees but converted while hiding out in Catholic boarding schools during World War II. He said he always considered himself a Jew. Mourners recited Kaddish for him during his funeral at Paris' Notre Dame Cathedral.
- A youth village, sponsored by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, which will serve 500 impoverished Rwandan orphans, was created. The village is the brainchild of Anne Heyman, a South African-born New York lawyer who was moved to help after learning that 15 percent of Rwandan children are orphans due to genocide.

Hello Brothers,
I just finished the first half of my first session as GM of a death watch campaign.
So I need help and will cut to the chase.
We started with a little prologue journey that set up the extraction mission. The prologue was so I could test the combat mechanics and rules a bit. The prologue was all DW core rule book, then I found the errata before extraction and started adjusting the weapons.
For the first 2 1/2 hours we had a great time, I threw in some npcs for an extra bit of role-play and moral choices for the characters and then we got to what I planned to be the big engagement (minus the extraction engagement) as they encountered the commissar and his imperial guard in a big fight with a hormaguant horde and 2 elite warrior tyranid.
The problem: The start of the combat was engaging, but then it VERY quickly degraded into too many route (repetitive) rounds of dice rolling in which both my players (one in particular) became extremely bored. Granted one is a girl that probably prefers the role-play side of the game, even my guy was getting a little tired. She was on her damn iPhone ! xD
So my gut was telling me it was more me than them, I needed to add something to the situation that would make them engage more. For example I thought about a random ambush from behind by another tyrannid or some npc loses his mind and attacks the team.
I also was afraid to hurt my team XD
I admit it! I didn't want to hurt them lol so I'm sure that effected things. There was a lot at play here including my lack of experience. So we will play again, but i fear if we have a repeat of boredom the female won't come back.
I am looking for examples of making the combat exciting, I want my players engaged. I think I made it too easy so they didn't really have to think on their feet. dice rolls win over time. Any feedback?
Ps. does anyone thing the tech marine servo arm is op?
