But there's been some kooky timing in the magazine world lately. Poor Lisa Marie's on the cover of the new Gear, going on about how tight and loving she and Tim Burton really are. Whoopsy-daisy! And a recent Time Out New York cover had "Cheap Eats" handwritten in white powder (relax, it was only sugar), a bold choice coming in the middle of the anthrax scare, and one I totally approved of. "Some readers were concerned about that," the mag's editor, Cindy Stivers, told me last week. "It was shot well before any of this started happening. We had the conversation and said, 'Does this look like anthrax? No, it's clearly sugar.' The sensitivity stuff is inevitable, but we're following the mayor's orders to get on with it!" No argument hereI'm downing 16 donuts as we speak, just to be a good citizen.
My appetite whetted, I pranced around on Halloween as a Big Mac and found myself battling even more of that sensitivity stuff. Anxiety-spreading idiots had dampened the celebration by painting it as deeply inappropriate, though a bunch of us brave patriots fought back with fearlessness and fishnets. Still, a visit to the Warhol-themed party at the Gay Center could only last as long as Andy would have wanted15 minutes.
Speaking of celebrity dress-up, I have some pressing sartorial advice to offer today's biggest stars, like, OK? Alicia Keys, darling, I beg you to take off the headgear. You look like you're hiding from something, and honestly, you shouldn't, because you're not that bad lookingreally! And Macy Gray, baby, kindly burn your hats and other doodads immediately. Your raggedy bohemian chic, which was so darned endearing, has morphed into a calculated weirdness that looks like the result of countless bucks and way too much fussing by stylists. Mess it up again! Oh, and Leelee Sobieski, you're fabulash, but please take a little break, pumpkin. You're in everything! Put on a hat!

Mt. McKinley: Jones & Team Rest at 14,200' Camp
Posted by: Tyler Jones, Garrett Stevens | June 10, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount McKinley
Elevation: 14,200'
Today was a pretty chill day for team No Troubles here at 14,200'. We took the concept of a rest day very seriously, and slept in until the sun hit the tents late this morning. Breakfast was a delicious combination of retort eggs/bacon/sausage/gravy meals and freshly fried hash browns with cheese. The hot coffee was the perfect complement to our leisurely meal, and we waddled out of the posh sufficiently stuffed for the morning.
After a couple of hours of relaxation, we took some time to refresh our skills with the ascenders for the fixed lines, as well as practice for the running belays we'll encounter up on the West Buttress. The afternoon's weather turned a little more arctic, and we crawled into our tents after dinner to escape the frigid temps (-5F) and the blowing snow.
For now, we're hoping for a break tomorrow morning so we can get our cache up onto the buttress. But as we all know, the weather has the ultimate say up here, so we'll make a game time decision in the morning. Thinking warm thoughts from 14 camp, ta ta for now!

June 8, 2014 - 5:50 pm
This morning we woke to warmer and windless air. The team packed our camp, had quick coffee with oatmeal and a granola bar. We then packed tents away, and organized snowshoes along with most of the sleds, some trash and few extra things we could spare to leave behind in a cache for us to pick up on our decent.
The travel was as calm and nice as we could ask for with light clouds passing over head. If we could complain about our weather we would just say we were too hot at times. This was a welcome change to the chilly morning we climbed in for our carry yesterday. Our crew made great time, even adding a rest stop on a completely windless Windy Corner.
Once we arrived at camp our days work was far from over as the snow began to fall. We dug tent platforms, built another priceless kitchen posh house and prepped camp for a storm that is expected over the next few days. We are now getting some rest and fluffing our feathers. Soon will have a deluxe meal of quesadillas with chicken, fresh veggies, beans and rice to fill our bellies and help us sleep warm in our new camp in the Genet Basin at 14,200 ft. Tomorrow we have earned a full rest day of eating, drinking and acclimating.
Will be in touch soon!

Mt. McKinley: Jones & Team - The Stage is Set…

June 7, 2014 - 6:49 pm PT
...and the players are ready! Hello from our cloudy camp at 11,000. The team had a productive morning rising to a cold clear day! We started the day with a classic mountain breakfast of instant grits with a side of pop tarts. We know it's not likely many would approve but for us it hit the spot and was the fuel we needed on a breezy, cold morning lugging our cache loads all the way to our next camp at 14,200 ft.
This was our first day of more technical climbing - we've been referring to the mountain behind us as the long heavy approach. The rope teams climbed with crampons and ice axes up Motorcycle Hill around to the famous Squirrel Hill. Lore has it that one early expedition had a furry stowaway on board that jumped from a member's pack at a break on this stretch of mountain, resulting in the long-standing name "Squirrel Hill."
After this section we made great time up to and around Windy Corner, which gave us a taste of some icy breezes as we crested over into the sun. The remaining stretch of glacier went quickly, and we were dropping our kit into yet another snow hole before noon. The group climbed flawlessly as we were back to our tents at 11,200' before we knew it. Now we're resting and preparing for tomorrow's move up to our fourth camp,the highest so far. Don't touch that dial, we'll be back with an update tomorrow!

Today we woke to a grand flurry of climbers packing and moving up to the fourteen thousand camp. For us though, it was a day of rest and we crawled out of our sleeping bags after the sun warmed the air in the tents. We ate another great breakfast of bagels, cream cheese, and bacon, firing our spirits for a day of organizing our gear for tomorrow's carry up to the 14,200ft camp. We'll once again be separated from a few of our goodie bags and the gear we will use on the upper mountain.
We had a great review of advanced crampon technique, ice axe use, and general efficiency skills needed for our continued success at altitude as we move higher up. The real climbing starts from here, and we'll don our crampons and ice axe for climbing steeper, more technical terrain and entering the more challenging altitudes.
With this day of rest, light activity and acclimatization our carry should be no sweat for our crew. Send some more nice weather our way and we'll let you know when our cache has landed at its next destination!

Mt. McKinley: Jones and Team So Happy Together

It's always a little hard to leave the food you love in a cold dark hole on the glacier…wondering when you can get back there, whether it's going to snow so much that you can't find it again, or if the industrious ravens will dig into it. Fortunately for us, none of the above were issues today, and we completed our cache retrieval without incident.
We started the day with snow showers and overcast skies, and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast of bacon, egg and cheese quesadillas with coffee and cocoa (clearly, we're not starving). The food was just the fuel we needed for our two hour mission - we fired downhill, dug up the group gear and food we cached two days ago, and packed up our sleds for the trek back to camp.
The snow continued to fall as we pulled into camp, within 15 minutes we had all the gear stowed and were tucked into our tents, as warm and dry as we can hope to be. Now it's time for a little lunch indulgence with the treats we brought, continued hydration, and resting from the output over the last few days. Tomorrow's plan is a little up in the air - we'll see if the weather cooperates for a carry or if we take a rest day here. Keep it locked in for more updates from the team!

Wednesday, June 4, 2014 4:53 PDT
The morning came with no wind and optimal cool temps for our travels. After an oatmeal breakfast, the team packed for our quickest departure from camp yet. Our crew is strong and made great time during our climb, stopping at our cache to retrieve a handful of items from the surface, adding just a microscopic load for the final push into our new home for the next few days.
We plan to continue to fortify our camp by adding wind walls to our million dollar Posh house! The Posh house will serve as our kitchen,living, and dining room, bringing some comfort from the chill of the evening and protection from the blasting solar energy of the sun.
Currently, we are hiding from the sun's torture and looking forward to a big dinner of tortellini with bacon and sun dried tomatoes. Tonight we will get a long night's rest, and a leisurely breakfast tomorrow will lead us into a short back carry to retrieve the rest of our equipment!
We're keeping our fingers crossed for RMI Guide Brent Okita and his team above us - as of last night's radio check-in, they were planning to go for the top today. If the weather up high is anything like it is at our new camp, they stand a good shot. But for us, the name of the game is rest, recover, and prepare for the work ahead.
Cheers for now,

Mt. McKinley: Jones & Team Carried the Cache and Commenced the Chill

June 3, 2014 - 5:36 pm PT
Yesterday's icy winds gave way to calm, clear skies overnight. The temperature, however, was quite chilly when we woke for breakfast. The hot coffee and tea started warming folks up, and a couple of bagels with cream cheese topped by delicious smoked salmon rounded out this morning's feast.
We packed up the kits for the carry and were walking shortly after the sun broke in camp. Temperatures climbed quickly and soon we were sweating under the loads, but within three hours we had buried our cache at 10,000 ft. We passed a ton of teams as we returned to camp - let's just say that we were happy to be heading down while the rest of them were baking on the way up.
So now we're poised for a move to the next camp at 11,200 ft and looking forward to making more progress on the mountain. That's all for now, stay tuned for tomorrow's tales of wonder from the frozen north land!

Mt. McKinley: Jones and Team Sitting Pretty on the Kahiltna Glacier!

Sunday, June 1, 2014 10:42 pm PT
We went to bed last night with clear blue skies fueling hopes for a good chance of flying onto the Kahiltna glacier today. When we woke this morning, the clouds dampened our hopes, and we slowly made our way to breakfast. After another hearty round of Roadhouse delights, we made our way to the hangar and settled in for a morning of discussion.
Within 2 hours, we had finished chatting and were dispersing around Talkeetna for rest and lunch. Some of us were still at the hangar when the K2 Aviation staff came out and started packing up our kit - it was on! We called the team in and got our clothes changed, boots on, and stood anxiously waiting for the green light to load and go.
Soon, we were in the Otter plane and flying towards the heart of the Alaska range. We landed amid the giants of snow and rock that characterize this special range, high-fived with RMI Guide Mike Walter and his crew and waved them goodbye as they headed back to the luxuries we've left behind. The team had a good early dinner and are now in bed, resting for the work to come. Stay with us as we climb towards our goal!

Mt. McKinley: Jones and Team Soggy but Spirited in Talkeetna
Posted by: Tyler Jones, Garrett Stevens | May 31, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount McKinley
The wait continues here in the rainy village of Talkeetna. We have covered a whole gamut of skills and topics. Currently we don't have a glacier under our our feet but we have many new tricks and tips to help us when our plane's skis hit the powder-covered runway at KIA (Kahiltna International Airport), as many consider it. While the last flight in or out occurred this last Monday, our motivation is high and our spirits strong as we endure these fuzzy and rain filled skies. Maybe fishing for halibut would suit this weather well?
Our afternoon will take us to the Talkeetna Ranger Station for a documentary video that outlines the process of climbing and the reality of this difficult and rewarding climb to the summit of North America! We continue to send positive thoughts to the teams on the hill, hoping to high-five with then as we land.
Any high pressure you can send up here would be appreciated by all…
Until tomorrow,

The Alaska Range remains untouched by eager climbers awaiting a green light on a weather window. Our team awoke to our second day of uncertainty, hopes high that we might catch a break in this persistent southwesterly storm. Everyone's enthusiasm and patience has been key while we perfect the "Talkeetna hang". We spent the majority of our day at the hangar working on vital skills that will get us moving quickly once we hit the glacier. Everyone's psyched for tomorrow's potential, feeling optimistic that we might get our chance to fly!

This coming Wednesday, a rare performance of the Busoni Piano Concerto will be heard at Carnegie Hall. As WNYC's Sara Fishko tells us, Busoni was a musician with a fantastic combination of gifts, musical styles and inspiring thoughts about music's future. Here is the next Fishko Files.
Marc Andre-Hamelin's performance of the Busoni piano concerto will be heard at Carnegie Hall, Wednesday May 9th. It will be broadcast as part of WQXR's Spring for Music Festival. For more information here.
Busoni, with his diverse musical styles and interests, had a huge sphere of influence as a teacher as well. Here's more on some of Busoni's most influential pupils.
Kurt Weill (1900-1950), the great symphonic and theater composer whose Threepenny Opera (with Bertolt Brecht) is a beloved classic.
The Kurt Weill Foundation for Music honors the legacies of Weill, and actress-singer Lotte Lenya. For more, visit their website.
Kurt Weill Sings and plays "Sweet Low"
Edgard Varese (1883-1965) the adventurous composer who, in describing his work, preferred to use the term "organized sound" to "music."
More on Varese.
Edgard Varese - "Ionisation"
Stefan Wolpe (1902-1972) the composer whose operas and orchestral works reflected his connection to Abstract Expressionist painters and the Dadaist movement.
For more, visit The Stefan Wolpe Society.
Stefan Wolpe: String Quartet, ii
Egon Petri (1881-1962), the brilliant pianist who was more a Busoni disciple than a mere student, and who devoted his life to performing Busoni's music (as well as that of Bach and Liszt).
More on Petri.
Egon Petri plays Franz Liszt Petrarch Sonnet op 123 Definitive
Alexander Brailowsky (1896-1976), the Ukrainian/French pianist, whose specialty in the music of Chopin didn't stop him from having a staggering repertoire of other music, as well.
More on Brailowsky and his music.

Dimitri Mitropoulos (1896-1960) whose tenure as Music Director at the New York Philharmonic in the 50s pushed the orchestra to expand its repertoire to more modern music.

But a moth, the hummingbird hawk-moth to be precise
Dhiraj Gaurh a software engineer living in Wilson Gardens, was out in Lalbagh with his family on Sunday morning. As usual he said he had carried his SLR camera, and this time he had a long lens on. There were hundreds of butterflies around the flowers growing and flowering in profusion everywhere and he took this as a great photo-op.
Then suddenly he says he saw what looked like a humming bird sipping the nectar of the flowers. "It was then that I saw the antennas, antennas like that of a butterfly. This was surely an insect then, but it had me fooled for a while. It's body was large like that of a hummingbird and the wings were in proportion. In my entire life I had never seen a creature like this one," says Dhiraj. "My hands shook like when I saw a tiger for the first time. The insect was a very fast flier, it never hovered for long. It just flitted from flower to flower. I set the focus to manual, cranked up the ISO speed and opened the aperture to the widest. Then I assumed certain hyperfocal distances and fired continuous shots. Pretty soon I had hundreds of pictures and upon analysis at home I found out that only three of them were acceptable."
To check on what it was, Dhiraj contacted his email-group called bngbirds and loaded a picture. It was Nandhu Sridhar who told him that it was the "well named hummingbird hawk-moth (Macroglossum stellatarum)," which was corroborated by Aishwarya Belliappa.
Sheshadri KS PhD scholar says, "To me, it is a marvel of evolution. I am always fascinated by how convergent evolution has occurred many times in all kinds of organisms. As seen in this case, a moth that hovers in the air for nectar is easily associated with a hummingbird which pretty much does the same thing but are separated by continents and seven seas. That is natural selection at work."
A winter visitor from Central Asia, the moth loves sunshine but can feed at any time and even in the rain. Fond of nectar rich flowers with a narrow calyx, it has no competition from birds thanks to its long proboscis. The moths tend to return to the same flowers at the same time, everyday. The hummingbird hawk-moth prefers warmth and that is the reason for it being seen here, as it winters in warm India.
As Dhiraj says, "We are not alone on this planet, there are many creatures we share our lives with and we should look out for them and enjoy their presence."

Help in Qatar
Hello all,
I've already posted a introductory message in the Newbie forum. In summary, I'm a Brit living in Qatar and a proud owner of a new Ram 1500. I'd like to dive right into the main forum to seek help for my immediate problem; i can't locate anything i need!
I've seen a few users from Qatar in the forum already so i'm hoping someone will see this message and respond. Does anyone know where i can buy accessories for the Ram? I literally have nothing apart from a tow bar, and there was nothing available at the dealer where the truck was purchased as they'd sold out of all Ram accessories! So far i've imported a bed cover from the US, but i'm looking for other things like side steps (crucial!) and a bed liner.
Can anyone help?
Many thanks
Hello and welcome to the Forum! :)
I cannot help you with local shops to you, but if in your shoes I would consider checking out eBay or Amazon. Lots of sellers (many of them are dealers to boot) will ship internationally. This comes at a price, but what options do you have? Hopefully, someone else may chime in with more detailed info for you. But in the meantime, I would start perusing your online ordering options. Good luck and congrats on the new Ram! :smileup:
amazon and ebay. maybe some of the mfg can help you find the closest dealers to you.
email the mfgs of products you are interested in and maybe they can direct you to the closest dealer.
autoanything will help you out! So will any other vendor on this site! :)
Help from qatar
Hi mate
If you want some accessories for your ram you will find a shop called CITY CAR on TV roundabout just after the Indian star restaurant in the same lane, they have some accessories and they can order for you.
Thanks for your input. The main dealer also suggested i try City Car for accessories, but when i went there they too had sold out of the thing i need most urgently; side steps. The other things they had i managed to order online, which i can't do with the side steps as they are too heavy. Any other suggestions?
Hi again
To be honest I bought some accessories from that shop but remains I ordered online. I have got AMP auto side step which I order online and shipped to doha for good rate. I'm using MYUS shipping company, I'm very happy with that shipping company, they will use DHL and FEDEX to ship to doha. Cheap, fast and many options more.
I don't think my message will give an enough informations, if you have a doubt you can ask more mate.
For farther information, I have 2014 grand cherokee SRT, Iordered long tube headers, the weight is 60 lb, I got it after 3 days by DHL urgent express delivery, the shipping cost is 1200 rials, I think that is cheap. I could go with cheaper shipping.
Hey I am also a proud owner of a Ram 1500 in Doha (I'm Canadian though haha) and I have been trying to find out the same thing as you. Can I ask where you ordered the tonneau cover from and how did you ship it here?

Research Brings New Hope to Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Aurora St. Luke's Medical Center Discovers Way to Fight Rare, but Deadly, Side Effect from Drug.
The side effect is a brain virus called progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML).
"This virus looks like a multiple sclerosis relapse," Dr.
The response is a series of plasma exchanges that filter the drug out of the blood stream, allowing the immune system to recover and fight the virus.
Multiple sclerosis is a disease where the body's immune system attacks the protective sheath surrounding the nerves. Natalizumab suppresses the immune system to slow or halt the progression of the disease. However, if the patient contracts PML, the immune system is not strong enough to combat the infection, so the drug needs to be removed from the body quickly.
Dr. Khatri, medical director of Aurora's Regional MS Center is lead author of the study published in the
In the study 12 multiple sclerosis patients on natalizumab underwent three plasma exchange sessions over a five-day or an eight-day period. By replacing the drug-infused plasma with clean fluid, Dr. Khatri and his team were able to get 92 percent of the drug out of patients' bodies over a span of eight days instead of the 12 weeks it would take with no treatment.
"If something were to go wrong, now there is a demonstrated method to remove the drug from the body and help the patient fight PML," Goodwin says.

KTM 690 Tank Bolts
I am a new owner of a 2012 690. Read the original "KTM 690 Tank Bolts" thread end to end. The last entry was in 2011; the thread appears to have died there. At the time the "word" was to get Mudguts upper tank bolts and Partsmaker's aluminum lower tank bushings and Delrin upper bushings. I see now that Rally Raid makes something they call "Tank Mount Bolts" ($89.95) and a "Lower Tank Mount Kit" for $55.50 for the 690. Are they serious?
Can anyone fill me in on what the deal is now? Mudguts and Partsmaker not making theirs any more? Is the Rally Raid design better or something? Has KTM fixed the problem on more recent 690's?
I appreciate the info.
looking as well....
I came up with the same as Slidefighter. I assume the KTM bushings are better now.
Limited experience with the sight. It might be my search technique.
Any info is appreciated.
Thanks, Mel
Tank bolts
I can't attest to members on his forum making the upper and lower tank bolts, but I did just receive my Rally Raid upper and lower tank bolts today. Nice looking pieces.
The one bit of advice I can give you is order them straight from Rally Raid. https://www.rally-raidproducts.co.uk .
Even with overseas shipping they were still $30 per set cheaper than ordering from KTMtwins.
I bought '08 690 Enduro few months ago so I was after improved tank bolts, upper and lower.
Mudguts is not replying on his thread and he is offering only upper bolts. RR solution is great, but to expensive and I didn't like a thing or two on it.
I have all resources needed for this kind of work available - machines, materials and staff, so I made complete set for my self (upper tank bolt caps + bolts, lower tank sleeve and bolt and PET lower bushings). I made it to be much stronger then it needs to be, just in case (AISI 4140 steel, heat treated then zink coated - strong as 10.9 bolts, etc). There are few other improvements, but I will bring some details and pictures in few days when I get back home.
Beside that one for myself, I made 6 sets for sale. Complete set will be available for 55 Euros shipped to Europe and 60 Euros (82 USD) shipped to USA.
I will make a thread about it in few days, with all details.
So, I ordered the RR upper and lower bolts, as of now with over 5k on the clock, no issues.
It sucks when they break... Order the RR and forget about them.
Hope this helps. Good luck, Eric.
the biggest issue is that the stock bolts are soft and poor material so they break easily.
my upper tank bolts broke after a weekends trail ride - I just replaced them with an 8.8 or 10.2 bolt - cant remember which, and didn't have any problems again.
Though if Perun is making a complete kit upper and lower for 45% less than RR for EU customers and 37% for US then he is onto a nice market, im not even adding the additional purchase cost of the bushings! 55 and 60 euro for the full kit is a bargain!

Re: Standard Horizon Matrix AIS+ GX2150
I have one. I love it. I also have the RAM mic, which is a great addition for a variety of reasons:
- You don't want to go into the cabin in an emergency
- It duplicates the main unit's display, so you can see a graphical representation of the AIS targets (though not as high-res as a chartplotter would show)
Please note that you do NOT need a full chartplotter to get AIS/DSC functionality. All you need is a GPS signal. I hear about people hooking up their handhelds to it, but not sure what adapter cables are needed, since most GPSs have USB and the radio expects to get RS422 or RS232 serial hookup. Here's what I used, and it provides a dedicated signal to the radio, which I believe is the most reliable possible situation:
Amazon.com: Garmin 18x LVC GPS Navigator Unit: GPS & Navigation
Amazon.com: Garmin 18x LVC GPS Navigator Unit: GPS & Navigation
Amazon.com: Garmin 18x LVC GPS Navigator Unit: GPS & Navigation
So in addition to the radio, you MUST have GPS signal, either from a current chartplotter or handheld (if you have them) or the GPS dongle that I recommend ($64) If you use the Garmin puck that I recommend, you'll need to supply 5v to the unit which will cost a few dollars to convert from your 12v system. [EDIT: Oops, I didn't see that you already have a chartplotter. You can ignore this part.]
The RAM mic is not absolutely required, but if you can spare the ~$100 it's a good addition.
My own setup includes Bluetooth transmitters to send all the stuff to a computer or tablet wirelessly. It's probably way more complicated than any sane person would want to do.

Taiwan says fraud cases halved since it teamed up with China
Published on Jan 31, 2014 2:26 PM
TAIPEI (AFP) - Taiwan's fraud cases have fallen more than 50 per cent in the four years since the island teamed up with China to fight growing Internet and telephone scams, the government said Friday.
A total of 17,744 cases were reported in 2013 involving Tw$3.77 billion (S$160 million) in losses. That was down 54.3 per cent from the 38,802 cases involving Tw$10.27 billion in 2009, according to data released by Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council.
China was a favourite destination for Taiwanese criminals hoping to evade arrest until Taipei and Beijing signed a crime-fighting agreement in 2009 amid improving ties.
Nearly 6,000 suspects have been arrested since.

22-for-36, 255 yards, 0 touchdowns, 1 interception.
Where does this stat line belong among the best games Tony Romo has ever played?
One of my friends put it best (albeit crudely), saying, Tony Romo is working his **** off in this game.
That's the truth. This game was a grind. Romo fought through bad snaps and wrong pass routes. He dealt with dropped passes and his cracked ribs. There were a few plays where it looked like he was doing the work of all 11 guys on offense. It was an ugly game; it was boring. But it was a win. And the Cowboys are 2-1.
Romo was a coach on the field. On one play, the ESPN broadcast showed a replay where Romo was directing three different receivers where to line up on a play inside the 10-yard line. He was yelling at his center Phil Costa after yet another premature snap. He was telling Kevin Ogletree where he should have gone after he made another wrong read on a pass route. Romo worked his butt off, and it paid off. Statistically, this game was a below average for him. But all things considered, it might have been one of his best.
Dan Bailey has made watching field goal attempts boring, and that's good. I watched the game on TV with my wife and a couple friends, and after his third field goal (the 41-yarder), I noticed that none of us were watching the field goal attempt very closely; we were assuming what most NFL fans assume when a kicker lines up to try a 41-yard field goal indoors: that it's going in. That is a luxury Cowboy fans did not have last year. Bailey will be overlooked this week, just like he was overlooked a week ago after drilling a 48-yarder at the end of regulation to tie the game in San Francisco. And that's fine, because kickers are generally boring. Nobody cares about kickers until they miss. Hopefully, Bailey will continue to bore us to death the rest of the year.
Sean Lee is becoming a star. He's second in the league in tackles, and he has two picks and two fumble recoveries in the first three games. He recovered the ball on Anthony Spencer's sack-fumble to kill off Washington's last chance to come back. A year ago, when the Cowboys drafted Lee in the second round, they felt like they were able to get first-round talent in the second round because of Lee's injury history. He certainly looks like a first-rounder now ... and not the Bobby Carpenter kind either.
Felix Jones broke out for a big game: 14 carries, 115 yards. He passed the eye test too -- if you were watching the game, you saw that burst he showed during his rookie year in 2008, and at other times during his brief career with the Cowboys. Apparently it's hard to show a burst when there's no hole to burst through, which was the problem the first two games.
At the end of the day, it all comes back to Romo. During training camp, he talked about this team being one that would improve every week. They will be better in week 4 than they were in week 1, and better in week 8 than in week 4. That needs to be true if this team is going to do anything, because right now, they're not very good. But in this NFL, there are a few haves, a few have-nots, and a bunch of teams in the middle. The Cowboys are in the middle, but if they can beat those other teams in the middle (like the Redskins), they can get their 10 wins and try their luck in the playoffs.
I said before the season started that the best teams in the NFL have a great quarterback/head coach combination. The Cowboys are 2-1, and it starts with Romo and Jason Garrett. Where it ends will depend a lot on the rest of the players and coaches.
Notes: Romo's streak of 20 consecutive games with at least one touchdown pass ended ... the Cowboys now have a 6-35 record in games in which they did not score a touchdown ... the Cowboys lead the league with 13 sacks through three games (DeMarcus Ware leads individually with five) ... Dan Bailey tied a rookie record with six field goals in a game.

text: CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. (AP) President Barack Obama consigned the Iraq war to history Friday, declaring he will end combat operations within 18 months and open a new era of diplomacy in the Middle East."Let me say this as plainly as I can: By August 31, 2010, our combat mission in Iraq will end," Obama told Marines who are about to deploy by the thousands to the other war front, Afghanistan.Even so, Obama will leave the bulk of troops in place this year, contrary to hopes of Democratic leaders for a speedier pullout. And after combat forces withdraw, 35,000 to 50,000 will stay behind for an additional year and half of support and counterterrorism duties.Just six weeks into office, Obama used blunt terms and a cast-in-stone promise to write the last chapter of a war that began six years ago. It has cost more in lives, money and national stamina than ever envisioned.Like Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon before him, Obama came into office with an inherited war he pledged to end without delay. Eisenhower did, in Korea. Nixon didnt, in Vietnam. Obama says he will."Iraqs future is now its own responsibility," Obama said.Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, flanked Obama during the announcement. It was a symbolic statement that top military advisers are on board with a strategy some had openly questioned before Obamas inauguration.More than five years have passed since Bush declared the end of major combat operations in Iraq, a statement that proved false as sectarian violence brought Iraq to the brink of disaster.Obama did not claim a mission accomplished. Instead, he suggested America accomplished the mission as best it could."What we will not do is let the pursuit of the perfect stand in the way of achievable goals," he said. "We cannot rid Iraq of all who oppose America or sympathize with our adversaries. We cannot police Iraqs streets until they are completely safe, nor stay until Iraqs union is perfected."He said: "Americas men and women in uniform have fought block by block, province by province, year after year, to give the Iraqis this chance to choose a better future. Now, we must ask the Iraqi people to seize it."Obamas promise to pull home the last of the U.S. troops by the end of 2011 is in accord with a deal that Iraqis signed with former President George W. Bush.Meantime, Obama is accelerating the end of the war by withdrawing roughly 100,000 troops by the summer of 2010.Obama was moving to fulfill in large measure the defining promise of his campaign to end combat operations within 16 months of taking office. Hes doing it in 19 months instead, and the drawdown will be backloaded to provide security for Iraqi elections late this year.More than 4,250 Americans have been killed in Iraq, a costly, unpopular enterprise at home that Obama criticized when support for the invasion was strong and few other politicians dared stand against it.He applauded the armed forces for its successes in Iraq, where U.S. deaths and violence in many parts of the country are significantly down.He never credited Bushs buildup of troops in 2007 as contributing to those improvements.In another break from Bush, Obama promised "comprehensive American engagement" with nations across the Middle East, noting Iran and Syria in particular. The U.S. has long had a diplomatic frost with both countries over their support for militant groups, among other matters. But they hold great sway in the region, and Obama sees a diplomatic opportunity.Obama called Bush shortly before he gave his speech to brief him on his plans. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs called the chat brief and straightforward.In his speech, Obama said to the military members: "We will leave the Iraqi people with a hard-earned opportunity to live a better life. That is your achievement. That is the prospect that you have made possible."As Obama spoke, the camouflage-clad Marines seemed to be taking a measure of the man. They politely applauded their new commander in chief at times, and grew more boisterous when he promised to raise their pay and provide more help for their families.The president also told the Iraqi people they will not be forgotten."Our nations have known difficult times together," he said. "But ours is a bond forged by shared bloodshed, and countless friendships among our people.Yet he acknowledged violence will remain "a part of life" and daunting problems include political instability, displaced citizens and the stress of declining oil revenues.Obama said U.S. must end the war, both for the future of Iraq and to allow the U.S. to refocus its attention more firmly on Afghanistan.Reaction came from everywhere.In Iraq, where several TV stations showed Obamas speech live, some citizens applauded the ironclad withdrawal plan while others questioned whether Iraq could defend itself alone.On Capitol Hill, Democratic leaders remained cool to the suggestion that tens of thousands of troops would remain.House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said his announcement was good news because it meant an end to the war, but she cautioned that the troops left behind must have a "clearly defined" mission. Obama succeeded in winning over most Republicans, who initially dismissed the timeline as arbitrary.Sen. John McCain, who lost the presidency to Obama, said he supported the plan."Let us have no crisis of confidence now," he told his colleagues on the Senate floor Friday. "Instead, let us welcome home our fighting men and women not just thanking them for serving in Iraq, but congratulating them on bringing us to victory there."The president who voted against the war as senator and ran against in his upstart White House bid said the Iraq conflict is one huge, painful lesson.Admonishing the Bush era, Obama said the United States must no longer go to war without clearly defined goals. He said it must communicate the costs of war clearly, use diplomacy as well as military might, not go it alone in security.Said Obama to the men and women in uniform before him: "I promise you that I will only send you into harms way when it is absolutely necessary."

I can see that. I also think its because its Star Trek. Because Star Wars and Gundam came out in the 70's and both were able to do war much more dramatically. In some ways I fear that the issue was that the writers were too TNG which was a peaceful non-violent exploration show. Writing for war was out of their area. One sees the same issues when they attempted to do the Ent world, which was supposed to be gritter too.
I liked the Xindi arc from ENT. However it did feel like a lite version of a season of "24" which Manny Coto worked on for several seasons. The problem with the way they handled the 3rd season of ENT was there was too many diversions from the main arc. There was no need for a Cowboy episode, there was no need for Archer to be transformed into a primitive alien ape like being. They could've spent more time covering both sides of the Xindi war and the intricacies that come along with it.
Star Wars is more Science Fantasy Action Adventure than war drama IMO. As far as Gundam, they're a full blown war drama using humanoid robots as a focus. They've had 30+ years to refine their formula and explore different territory. It's completely different with Star Trek since they didn't have experience dealing with a war drama arc until DS9.
Considering the fact that Berman didn't want to do it and kept meddling, I think the Dominion arc pushed the boundaries for Star Trek. That's why in ENT, we were able to even get a Xindi War.

Although The-Dream is a happily married man (to R&B singer Nivea) in real life, when it comes to his business persona he's a swinger. Getting a chance to show off his prowess, Mr. Nash passes by one of his homies' chicks and rushes back to tell his fella 'I Luv Your Girl.' Dream's smooth vocals are sure to make this track a hit, but what will make it a chart-topper is his watermark stuttering 'A' sound (in this case, it's the closing "cuz she bad, bad, baaaaad"). With all the success The-Dream has reached over the last few months look for LoveHate to be a formidable contender for the #1 spot at Billboard when it drops on December 11th.

In the case of folders, a lot of people think it's better to wind before the shot than after, because opening the camera from the folded position can create a vacuum effect and pull the film away from the pressure plate. Winding on should take up any slack and give you flatter film. I don't know how significant this effect is in the real world, especially since folders aren't that great at film flatness anyway.
The main thing is just to have a consistent routine. Even so, with any camera that doesn't have an interlock between winding and cocking, it just seems to be a law of nature that double exposures happen occasionally.

PETALING JAYA: World No. 7 Low Wee Wern got off to a flying start in her first match of the year with an easy win over Ireland's Aisling Blake in the first round of the Greenwich Open at Conneticut on Friday.
National No. 2 Wee Wern has not played since suffering a hamstring injury in the Women's World Open at Cayman Island last year.
Nevertheless, despite suffering an early setback, the 22-year-old Wee Wern did not show any signs of rustiness as she swept away Blake 11-9, 9-11, 11-5, 11-5.
It was the perfect start for Wee Wern who has never really done well in America in the past.
"I'm definitely happy to go through. It's always tough playing in the first round and I don't like the weather here at all," said Wee Wern. in a text message.
"It's literally minus 12 degrees over here and I'm really freezing. Match wise, Aisling played pretty well too and she was confident after beating Joshna (Chinappa) in the qualifiers a day earlier. So its a good win for me after all," said Wee Wern.
The third seed will next take on another Irishwoman – veteran Madeline Perry – for a place in the quarter-finals.
Perry had an easier outing, demolishing American wildcard Maria Elena Ubina 11-4, 11-5, 11-7.
"I beat Madeline the last time we met but it was very close so I expect another close match again," said Wee Wern.
"Furthermore, she has the experience and has already played in a tournament this year, so in a way she had a better head start."
In other matches, top seed Raneem El Weleily and second seed Nour El Sherbini – both Egyptian youngsters – were in fine fettle dispatching off USA's Amanda Sobhy and Hong Kong's Joey Chan respectively.
A third Egyptian youngster – former world junior champion Nour El Tayeb – was also in fine form as she stunned fourth seed Annie Au of Hong Kong 11-8, 11-5, 9-11, 11-9.

Poll: 17 percent of Americans want U.S. boycott of opening ceremony
Updated: April 18, 2008, 9:37 PM ETAssociated Press
SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. -- Only 17 percent of Americans are in favor of the U.S. Olympic team boycotting the opening ceremony of the Summer Games in Beijing, according to a Seton Hall University poll.
The poll, involving 786 people who were randomly called throughout the country, also found 66 percent of respondents believe the Games are an inappropriate occasion for making political or social protests.
China has faced criticism of its human-rights record ahead of the Olympics in August. ...

Staff Correspondent
DAVANGERE: Activists of the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike staged a dharna in front of St. Paul's Convent School here on Wednesday protesting against schoolchildren not singing the national anthem or the "nada geethe" during prayer sessions.
The protesters opposed the singing of religious songs during prayers and insisted that pupils sing the national anthem and the "nada geethe" instead.
Students in most of the convent schools in Davangere city sang neither the national anthem nor the "nada geethe," president of the district unit of the vedike Rame Gowda said, adding,
"It will not be tolerated anymore," he said.
He said as children of all castes and communities go to schools run by Christian missionaries,
it was wrong on the part of the managements to make children offer religious prayers.
"Hindu culture"
The activists also protested against convents that restricted students from wearing kumkum, flowers and bangles.
It was Hindu culture and tradition to wear these things, they said.
The Block Education Officer rushed to the spot along with the police to prevent the agitators from entering the school.
He assured them that the national anthem and the "nada geethe" would be sung by students during prayer sessions in all schools.
The officer said that he would visit all schools in the next few days and take action against those that did not comply with the rule.

I am doing an ANTI-BULLYING project for a local high school (all out of pocket budget since it is volunteer based). I'd like to show a facebook/twitter page, as if someone is typing something on their new status post. (Ie: you see the cursor blink, and then words start to type. Then you start to see the "like" button increase as people like what that person posted). The idea is to show how cyber bullying happens all the time on FB and twitter. If you'd like to see an example of how something similar to this is used, I found it in another anti-bullying video and thought it was great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5PZ_Bh-M6o
Examples I like in video: 0:32 seconds 0:42 seconds 0:56 seconds 2:18 seconds
I'd like to have this no later than February 3rd, but the sooner the better. Since this is all volunteer based, my budget is VERY small. However, I can still pay something, and also give credit in the video credits if you'd like. Let me know if you can help! I am doing this for a really great cause for these kids, I wanted to make an impact and I think this would help them visualize. Thanks in advance!

Oprah, queen of her own delusional mind…
Oprah Winfrey appears on the cover of Parade Magazine in a huge red tent and in a pose that makes her look bigger than she is. Her cover also reminds us that OWN – the Oprah Winfrey Network – is coming in just a few days and will air 24/7.
And what kind of programming does she want?
None of that Real Housewives crap… (Oprah better watch what she's saying because the Manzo's got friends and as soon as Treetrunk Joo-dice gets over her little money issue… well, if she can spontaneously sit Andy Cohen down with a fingerflick, just imagine what Tree could do when she has a mission!)
"I think so much of television is a minefield (except her show, of course) that just zaps your energy, wastes your time," Oprah told Parade in an interview for their December 26 issue.
"I happened to be on the treadmill one night (can you prove that, Oprah?) and passed one of the '[Real] Housewives' shows—I don't know which city—and literally my mouth was open 'cause I thought, 'This is on television?' (Spoken by the person who handed out free cars (but handed tax invoices with them), brought us Rielle Hunter, Kirstie Alley's body stocking, James Frey getting whipped, the 'Secret', Eckhard Tolle, Dr. Phil, Carson Kressley's makeovers, Nate Berkus, Suzanne Somers, and all her Scientology friends.)
"I recognize that there's a whole group of people who find that very entertaining I wonder for how long. I think that there are people who want to be fed just a little more." (Oh, Oprah, you been 'feeding' us too much. Now go away.)
Note to Oprah: You chose to trash 'Housewives' thereby alienating more viewers and making your already sinking ratings sink lower. I, for one, will be smugly satisfied when you get clobbered in the ratings by 'Housewives.'

On a beautifully desolate Navajo reservation in New Mexico, three young people – a college-bound, devout Christian; a rebellious and angry father-to-be; and a promiscuous but gorgeous transsexual - search for love and acceptance. As the three find their lives becoming more complicated and their troubles growing, their paths begin to intersect. With little in common other than a shared heritage, they soon learn that the key to overcoming their respective obstacles may come from the most unlikely of sources, each other. Inspired by a 20/20 story that called her hometown of Gallup, NM "Drunktown USA," writer/director Sydney Freeland has constructed a moving and ultimately uplifting story about coming of age in the most challenging of circumstances while still finding hope, healing, and the chance for a better life.

Apple joins Fair Labor Association
WORKPLACES Initiatives seek to improve conditions at suppliers' factories
Casey Newton, Chronicle Staff Writer | January 14, 2012
Photo By Kin Cheung/APFILE - In this file photo taken Saturday, May 7, 2011, local and mainland Chinese university students, dressed as the Foxconn workers, hold mock iPads with a skeleton print outside an Apple Premium Reseller shop in Hong Kong. An explosion that occurred onMay 20, 2011, at one of two factories that make Apple's new iPad 2 highlights the risks of a global manufacturing strategy that has cut costs but concentrates production in a few locations.
Photo By Patrick Lin/AFP/Getty ImagesDemonstrators display portraits of Terry Gou (from L to R), chief of Foxconn; K.Y. Lee, chief of BenQ and Apple chief executive Steve Jobs, during a rally outside an exhibition hall in Taipei on June 1, 2010. Scuffles broke out in Taiwan's capital as protesters alleging labour abuses by IT giants including Foxconn tried to enter a venue where President Ma Ying-jeou was opening Asia's biggest technology fair. The activists shouting "Capitalists kill people" and holding placards and pictures of Foxconn chief Terry Gou fought with uniformed police as they tried to deliver a letter to Ma while he launched Computex Taipei.
Apple made several moves Friday to address working conditions in its suppliers' factories, including an announcement that it had joined the Fair Labor Association.
The association, which was founded in 1999 and is based in Washington, works to end sweatshop conditions in factories around the world.
Apple has faced criticism for its factory conditions in Asia. This week, National Public Radio's "This American Life" ran an adapted version of Mike Daisey's monologue "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs," in which he describes the often brutal working conditions he found on visits to Chinese factories.
And Foxconn, an Asian supplier that makes electronics for Apple, Microsoft and Dell, among others, faced a revolt this week when hundreds of workers who make Microsoft Xboxes threatened suicide over lost wages.
"We welcome Apple's commitment to greater transparency and independent oversight, and we hope its participation will set a new standard for the electronics industry," Auret van Heerden, Fair Labor Association president and CEO, said in a statement.
The first technology company to join the labor association, Apple made its announcement the same day it released its annual look at worker safety and factory conditions among its partners. The Supplier Responsibility Progress Report said Apple conducted 229 audits of its partners last year, an 80 percent increase from 2010.
The company also published the names of the suppliers it worked with last year, listing 156 companies.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company is "raising the bar" on factory conditions.
"I have spent a lot of time in factories over this lifetime and we are clearly leading in this area," he told the paper.
Still, the company's audits did find labor violations. Apple's partners agree that employees will not work more than 60 hours a week, but audits found that suppliers complied with that requirement only 38 percent of the time. In 93 facilities, more than half of the employees worked more than 60 hours.
In response, Apple started tracking hours at 110 facilities and hired a consultant to train managers on factory planning to avoid excessive labor.
The report found that almost half the audited companies didn't pay overtime properly and that 56 facilities had no procedures to prevent discrimination against pregnant women.
Last year, Apple initiated a new environmental auditing program, completing 14 detailed audits of its suppliers. It also made a push to crack down on underage labor and says it found no instances of child workers at any of its final assembly plants.
In addition to working with managers to improve worker conditions, Apple has developed a program to teach workers finance, computer skills and English. The Supplier Employee Education and Development program, known as SEED, has been used by more than 60,000 workers, Apple reported. In China, the courses can be used to help workers earn associate degrees at Chinese universities.

Interested in joining PACT and selling your art in our store Artistic Portland? Apply To Be Juried
We started with an idea at the end of December 2012, and soon it began to take shape. We all shared a dream -- a retail cooperative store where we can sell our art together -- and after much hard work, we turned that idea into a reality. We now have over 40 members from different backgrounds, and through our diverse talents, Artistic Portland has become something amazing.
Artistic Portland is open daily and located at 4042 NE Sandy Blvd, a block west of the Hollywood Theater. We're conveniently located right off the I-84 freeway, near several bus and MAX lines, and in the midst of a wonderful community.
Feel free to read the membership documents and apply for membership. Maybe one day our co-op could become yours too!
To learn more about Artistic Portland or to contact us, check out our store website.
• Every artist deserves a local home. •

About Me
- About ProximaC
- Location
- London, Ontario
- Occupation
- Aspiring Rationalist & Phone Monkey
- Biography
- I'm really just this guy, you know? I've been gaming since the mid 90's, got started with AD&D 2nd Edition and World of Darkness, and it just kind of took off from there.
- Interests
- I like to consider myself a 'nerd's nerd'. I'm into fantasy (urban fantasy as well as the more traditional kind), sci-fi, I'm a big anime fan (mostly circa the nineties), and I never met an esoteric reference I didn't enjoy. My own gaming style tends towards more 'rule of cool' than 'grim and gritty', and I enjoy world-building quite a bit.
