How often have you seen a group of people come together to discuss literature? How often does the group have people in their early 20's right up to those in their 60's? I know of very few. The Book Club, started by Satish Khot and Mohini Khot is one fine example of this. Started about 12 years ago, this club meets on the last Monday of every month to discuss and analyse books by renowned authors.
Recently around 25 book enthusiasts met to discuss A Train to Pakistan. The session started with an elaborate introduction of the author — Khushwant Singh — by Seema Chinchore. She spoke about the many facets of the famous author. She described him as a novelist, a columnist, an editor and most perfectly as an 'iconoclast'. This was followed by a succinct introduction on the various characters in the book by Sunita Shetty, who narrated a synopsis of the story and highlighted the important parts.
After the dramatic recitation the audience shared their views on the story and the issues that the book highlighted. Two of the main issues that the book talks about are the Hindu-Muslim relations and the ties between India and Pakistan. Expressing her thoughts on the book, one of the members said, 'The last time I read the book I was alone and had no one to share with what I felt. Today, I feel the same but don't know how to express." While in discussion many people at the gathering shared their personal experiences and encounters with Hindu and Muslim, Indians and Pakistanis in India and overseas. They all shared the common idea of being well treated by the others and how they do not understand why the age-old tiff continues despite the changed times.
At every gathering the club, through books and different forms of literature, discuss moral and social issues to help change people's perceptions.

Opening This Month: New Hotels for October 2014
Finding a hotel room is easy. Simply go on the Internet or use your smartphone and voila! You're booked. But if you are only interested in new hotels, then that's a different story. Luckily, you have us. And we're obsessed with new hotels. Here's a list of hotels that have opened or are opening this month (and a few that aren't going to make it.) Got a new hotel to add? Send it to us!
· Rosewood Beijing: We've been eying this property for quite some time and now we're excited to see it will open on October 23. The first Rosewood for China, the Rosewood Beijing will have 283 rooms opposite the twisting CCTV Tower by Rem Koolhaas. There's a Sense Spa on site (complete with Spa Suites that you can book) and six restaurants and bars to choose from. Rates start at 2,050 CNY a night for a deluxe room with a king bed. That's about $334 USD.
· AC HOTELS BY MARRIOTT NEW ORLEANS : The first stateside AC Hotels by Marriott is promising to open in the Big Easy this month. But for now, no reservations are being accepted on the website. We plugged in dates in October and November and the dreaded "unsuccessful sell" came up. However, we do know that the hotel will be opening by November 12. So it's just a matter of getting the reservations system done.
· W BEIJING: We've been skeptical of the W Beijing's opening date for a really long time. Last we heard, they would open in September but now the hotel is saying it will open on November 1 instead. We're already starting to lose interest.
· HOTEL ZOO BERLIN: The reopening of the historic Hotel Zoo in Berlin will not happen this month. Instead, the new look will be unveiled on November 3 with rates start at 121 euros a night. We've been kept in the dark on the design details of the renovation but these rooms pics are showing off some pretty luxe spaces. We likey.

Rosewood Beijing Will Open in October
Beijing is adding a few more big names to its roster of hotels this fall: the W should arrive after some major delays in by the end of the month and Rosewood Hotels is set to open its first Chinese hotel in October.
What slightly confuses us is that on the weekend we were able to make reservations from October 20, but right now the availability calendar is blocked out well into 2015. We'll just assume that's a temporary glitch and not an indication of the opening date being at risk.
When it does open, Rosewood Beijing will have 283 rooms opposite the twisting CCTV Tower by Rem Koolhaas. Above an impression of what you'll find inside, which we saw – and liked – for the first time a year ago: clean lines, dark woods, whites, and a bit of burnt orange (cognac?) in the swivel chair. There is of course a variety of rooms and suites, including a number of Spa Suites that have in-room treatment areas.

· KONNICHIWA ANDAZ TOKYO: The newest Andaz Hotel, Andaz Tokyo Toranomon Hills, is now officially open! Check out the room shot above. Swoon. Hopefully, we'll more from inside the property for you to see next week.
· HILTON HOTELS TAKING OVER MYANMAR: Only a few years after opening its country to tourism, Myanmar has been prepping for some major growth. And now it needs to brace itself for the onslaught of Hilton Hotels. The hotel chain has partnered up with the Eden Group Company to rebrand two of the Group's recently opened properties in the capital, Nay Pyi Taw, and on Ngapali beach in Rakhine State. Those hotels will now be known as Hilton Nay Pyi Taw and Hilton Ngapali Beach Resort. Hilton is also planning three more hotels in the next three years, namely: Hilton Bagan and Hilton Inle Lake in 2016 and the Hilton Mandalay which will open in 2017.

Sneak Peek at The Rosewood Baha Mar, Opening in December
The resort and hotel wonderland that is Baha Mar, aka The Bahamian Riviera, is still under construction but today, we've got a sneak peek at one of the rooms at the Rosewood at Baha Mar, opening in December.
This is actually a rendering of what one of the 190-beach view rooms and suites will look like. Hello, turquoise sofa! And that massive headboard behind the bed actually does double-duty as a wardrobe.
The Baha Mar site has a few more renderings of the Rosewood's lobby, library and lobby bar which are done in the same "Caribbean luxe" decor. Think bright colors, airy spaces, mahogany wood accents and detailed furniture.

Spot Prince George, Mick Jagger, and More at Rosewood London's Scarfes Bar
Little George Alexander Louis of Cambridge may be making his Antipodean debut on the current royal tour (and looking as a cute as a button in the process, we might add), but closer to his home of Clarence House, the baby Prince can now also boast his first caricature at Rosewood London's Scarfes Bar.
Drawn by cartoonist and illustrator Gerald Scarfe, Prince George is in good company for many reasons: his creator's credentials range from illustrations for the New Yorker to Pink Floyd, and aside from his immediately family (including QEII and one of her corgis), he is surrounded by everyone from James Bond and Simon Cowell to the Rolling Stones and David Beckham across eight large canvases.

4G Internet in the Caribbean? You'll Find It Here
Here being Jumby Bay, a Rosewood resort that is its own private island just a short boat ride away from Antigua.
A speck in the strikingly blue sea, there are no towns or high-rises, no major roads or cars (each guest, young and old, gets a bicycle), just white sandy beaches, that picture-perfect palm tree, and (what the resort promises is) blazingly fast and free internet, being the first test case for 4G capability in the Caribbean.

Trump, Thompson, Rosewood, Mandarin Oriental and Even Nobu Announce New Hotels
Yo. There is so much hotel news flying around this week--way more than usual--and in between checking out Vin Diesel's latest Facebook video and signing petitions to get Bieber deported, we just don't have enough time to focus on all the new hotels news. So here's a quick rundown to get you up to speed on the latest.
TRUMP HOTEL RIO DE JANEIRO: So our guess yesterday about Trump Hotels' latest announcement had to do with China but we were so wrong. The luxury hotel group is actually planning a 13-story, 171-guestroom hotel in the Jardim Oceanico sub-district of the famous Barra da Tijuca borough. It will open in 2016 just in time for the Summer Olympics. The Rockwell Group will be doing the interiors and the hotel will have a rooftop pool deck with private VIP cabanas, a nightclub, a spa, a fitness center and all the signature Trump services and amenities.
THOMPSON PLAYA DEL CARMEN: Commune Hotels + Resorts have announced a second Thompson Hotel for Mexico--Thompson Playa Del Carmen. The hotel will have 125 rooms and suites with a rooftop pool as well as a spa. It will be the only hotel in Playa to have a both a central 5th Avenue--a 2-mile-long shopping and entertainment pedestrian thoroughfare--and a beachfront location. It will open in 2015. The other Thompson in Mexico, Thompson Los Cabos, is currently under development.
ROSEWOOD SANYA: Rosewood Hotels and Resorts have announced yet another new property. Rosewood Sanya will open in 2017 in a new development in Haitang Bay in Southern Hainan Island. The resort will actually be integrated with the International Finance Forum convention center which will open in 2015. Designed by Chicago-based architectural firm, Goettsch, the Rosewood Sanya will have 229 ocean-facing guest rooms and suites, an infinity-edge "sky pool" (i.e. located way up high), a Sense spa and five restaurant options.

The Baha Mar Resort in the Bahamas Will Be a Hotel Wonderland
This morning we spent some time updating the Master Openings List but there's one update we're really intrigued by--The Baha Mar Resort, opening in December in the Bahamas with no less than FIVE different hotel brands inside. We knew it was gonna be big but this is crazy big.
In total, the complex, nicknamed the "Bahamian Riviera", will have a total of 2,900 hotel rooms and residences, a 100,000 square foot casino, an 18-hole, 72-par Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, an ESPA spa and more than a dozen pools. Plus, a 200,000 square feet convention center. We know, insane!
Of course, we're most interested in the hotels that will open and it's quite a mix. The five resorts are as follows:

Now The Crillon in Paris Will Get The Karl Lagerfeld Touch
Two words were all it took to get Sofitel So Singapore on our list of five openings we're excited for in 2014: Karl. Lagerfeld. How could we not?
What's more, we think the Kaiser might be a pretty strong contender for next year's list already, with the news that he will be designing two top-end suites for Hotel de Crillon in Paris, now confirmed as a Rosewood Hotel when it reopens in 2015. Radha Arora, president of Rosewood, let Choupette out of the bag to Women's Wear Daily it seems, which has Arora quoted as saying that "no one understands Paris or the heritage of the Crillon better than Mr. Lagerfeld".

Bulldogs and Budgerigars At Rosewood London
When was the last time you sat inside the lobby of a major city hotel, sans open windows, and heard birdsong? Yeah, we couldn't remember either, but it's exactly what happened to us at Rosewood London last week. Our first reaction was one of dismissal, but when it persisted and we went exploring, it turned out to be real (admittedly, that made us feel a little bit better about our own sanity).
Make your way through the rose-bronze entrance gallery, which we still unreservedly love, turn left past the reception desk and by the set of elevators you'll find a cage with finches and budgerigars. It's one of many unexpected little things you'll find around the hotel, now open just shy of two months on High Holborn, an area between the West End and the City that is rather incongruously being relabeled as "Midtown" by, among others, Mayor Boris Johnson.

14.09.05 By Michael Klimes: It is wonderful when a fight captures the imagination of the public and boxing receives the publicity it deserves. It seems to give our sport an extra dimension and it is even better when boxing is shared among more people as the saying goes, The more the merrier seems to hold sway in this writers mind. What fights can we see now and in the past that have really captivated not only boxing addicts but also the wider public interest? Oscar de la Hoya and Bernard Hopkins is probably the most recent fight that has broke through the obscurity barrier of even the highest walls of boxing novices. This is down to de la Hoya who always has been a fighter that even the most anti boxing fanatics can name. The Fight of the Century is another bout that not only caused excitement but apoplexy.
In Britain, where I live we are rarely given such an atmosphere for the reason that boxing does not receive the adulation compared to what it does in Mexico and Cuba. However, there have renaissances of this art and one is actually underway now with Joe Calzaghe, Ricky Hatton, David Haye, Amir Khan, Kevin Mitchell, Enzo Maccarinelli, Scott Harrison, Clinton Woods, Junior Witter and Carl Froch all involved in this resurrection in someway. Some are world champions, others contenders and others promising prospects..
However, it is important to appreciate the Golden Ages of ones history. For me one of the highlights of that glorious middleweight era in the early 1990s was the pivotal rivalry between The Oddball Chris Eubank and The Nutty One Nigel Benn: This was a compelling contest between two different personalities (a strange one at that) and two opponents who both had an equal chance of hurting and defeating the other in the roped square.
Although not the greatest rivalry in history it is at least the most entertaining ever seen in a British boxing ring. I think also that it is by far the most bizarre and surreal rivalry in boxing for numerous reasons. Chris Eubank is a man that defies definition from whatever perspective you look at him from. Never mind the boxing career for a minute, look at the man: His tasteless taste in strangely coloured clothes, a monocle, an umbrella or walking stick at his side all the time and the spontaneous spurts of attempted wisdom in the form of poetry left us scratching our heads. His most admirable ability is the one of irritation as even now in any public appearances he can still provoke sharp reactions.
No one could understand Eubank so we all decided to hate him instead, no more so then Benn. Conversely, the Dark Destroyer could not be simpler then the sophisticated, self proclaimed Simply the Best. Benn is blunt and to the point. He said and still says what he thinks, a direct reflection of his attitude in the ring. Benn wouldnt hide behind a jab and use lateral movement. He would be in your face as often as he could be and throwing all of the punching honesty he could muster. It is an interesting observation that some of the least wordsmith boxers have been the unstylish sluggers; think of Rocky Marciano and Joe Frazier, never big with words whilst boxers like Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard and Sugar Ray Robinson could talk, usually about themselves forever.
Fast forward to November 1990 and Eubank and Benn are about to fight in a highly anticipated match for the WBO Middleweight Title in Birmingham. Both are at a major point in their careers. Benn has recovered from his painful humiliation against Michael Watson in Fitzbury Park in 1989 by touring the United States and becoming a superstar through whirlwind three round wars. Hes been knocked down but has achieved what few overseas fighters in America achieved during any period: He is known stateside and has conquered America with the wear and tear style. He enters the fight with 27 wins and 1 defeat. Eubank is the hungry young challenger or The Great Pretender as some would say. This test will see if Eubank really has the heart which has been questioned by the boxing world thus far. He is at 24 fights undefeated and looks ambitious enough. The pre fight antics are not worth bothering with as they are a well documented tirade of abuse, with egotism from both parties and Eubank having the nerve to bet a £1000 pounds that he would knock Benn out in the first round. Regardless of this, neither can ever beat Norman Stone at the rubbishing game.
Benn is the fierce puncher with the title, a champions pride and the superior ring experience. On the downside he has been in a few too many wars for a twenty six year old, is reckless with his almost non existent defence and is likely to tire himself by the flat out pace he likes to fight at from the opening round. Eubank is fresher, a slick boxer and brash with confidence. However, he does not have the same level of experience, is untested regarding his chin and has one major flaw He has an awful tendency to hold his guard a bit low and open.
So who would come out on top?
Eubank vaulted over the ropes, a less flashy version of Naseem Hameds more advanced somersaults. When it came to the business he lost his clown face and became coolly composed, so much so it would seem you would not be able to wipe away any sweat from his forehead. Benn entered flanked by a guard of his army buddies and looked the exact opposite. Pumped up, eyes bulging and ready for a war.
They lined each other up in the ring, smacked gloves and went at it. Round 1 saw Eubank circling for a while, holding ground, backing off and then circling as Benn came after him. Neither of them landed anything in the first exchanges but Eubank landed quickly after with some good right hands. He also demonstrated some wonderful reflexes as he slipped Benns bombs who himself looked a bit ragged as he didnt land a meaningful punch and was in many instances hitting thin air. The first round was definitely the challengers as he exhibited a well balanced plan of coming forward to land punches and moving back to avoid Benns efforts.
The second round was intense as Benn landed a magnificent straight right just at the point when the commentators were discussing Eubanks worryingly low guard. Eubank rapidly retreated and then clinched as he strove to take some momentum out of Benn. He then caught Eubank with another good right. To his credit Eubank regained his composure and retreated two or three steps and then waited, looking to throw a counter at one of Nigels bombs. He almost landed a vicious uppercut with his back against the ropes but Benn caught him with a beautiful right hand that forced Eubank to start dancing. Eubank though, then recovered his ground and waited for the opening, he got it in the middle of the ring countering with a stunning left hook that staggered the champion. Eubank then moved in and finished the round with some good combinations.
Round 3 again saw Benn hit Eubank with that right and one had to wonder whether Benn was using the wrong tactics through a lack of dexterity. He wasnt using his excellent body shots on his great rival that often, was going for Eubanks elusive head too much and wasnt fighting out of a crouch. Meanwhile Eubank was fighting a distinctive mixture of hit and run whilst also stopping in between to give Benn his own big hooks and uppercuts. It was a classic trademark blend of Simply the Bests style that was effective by way of awkwardness. It fluctuated between retreating and coming forward, then fighting flatfooted, Eubanks rhythm was being out of rhythm. The end of the round closed with close quarter fighting.
In Round 4 Benn finally started going for the body but Eubank drove the Dark Destroyer to the ropes with his devastating right hand and hit him with some good blows. Benns eye started to swell up though and the fight still looked very much in the balance. Increasingly the fight saw Eubank taking the initiative and becoming more of the aggressor and pushing Benn back that was no good for the champion who was only dangerous when coming forward. True to the ebb and flow nature of any classic fight Eubank was running towards the end of the round with Benn back in the driving seat.
Round 6 saw Eubank pressing again and both of them both trying to establish their jabs. Eubank was gaining a distinctive advantage by not only out scoring and out boxing Benn but stopping him from coming forward. By doing this Benn was like a fish flopping out of water at Eubanks mercy: Being picked off with jabs and hurt with stinging power punches. Benn wouldnt be able stay in the fight let alone win it by staying in the same place; he was lethal at point blank range where he could strike the kidneys. His whole dependency in a fight was based on coming forward. However, The Dark Destroyer did get some consolation by striking Simply the Best south of the border.
Eubank in Round 7 was hit with a multitude of body crunchers. He was dancing for the first minute but regained some rhythm, by lancing Benn repeatedly with the jab. There was a lot of on the ropes action as the challenger managed to smother him with two great left right power shots and push his tormentor back. Benn stayed with Eubank and in characteristic fashion came back with his own punches.
Round 8 simply proved to be the most sensational of the fight with both chasing the other, Eubank launching jabs followed by the heavier artillery and Benn managing to floor the challenger near one corner of the ring. The champion was fighting with one eye and still very much in the contest. The following round would be the decisive one as Eubank caught Benn with one of those flurries, his the champions legs went and Eubank stormed in. Richard Steele, the referee separated them and gave Benn one last chance and then admirably stopped the fight at precisely the correct point A brilliant judgment.
After the fight Eubank congratulated a tearful Nigel Benn and called him an unbelievable puncher and exclaimed, He hit me with shots that I never knew existed, look he split my tongue open. Both men had won each others respect. Benn seemed to have had underestimated Simply the Best who had used his awkwardness to frustrate Benn: He kept him at a distance whether it was defensively through dancing or by driving him back by reinforcing the jab with punishing uppercuts and hooks.
The re-match took place three years later and was labelled Judgement Day but that is another saga of their story. Today both fighters are involved in colourful retirements. Chris Eubank is a consummate celebrity who drives his Monster Truck specially imported from the United States around the narrow streets of Brighton. At some point he was arrested in a quintessential Eubank fashion whilst protesting against the Iraq War outside Downing Street. In the end he attracted more attention to himself then the cause he was campaigning for by reversing into a parked van. His escapades outside the ring continue to draw attention. Simultaneously Nigel Benn has become a successful DJ and probably keeps himself amused by Eubanks exploits as an aspiring multitalented individual.

CSN Houston Charlotte Bobcats rookie Michael Kidd-Gilchrist was carted off the court in Houston on Saturday night during his team's game against the Rockets. Bobcats' head coach Mike Dunlap said Kidd-Gilchrist was talking and moving his extremities when he left the arena in an ambulance. While defending on a fast-break by Houston, Kidd-Gilchrist fell awkwardly after contesting a layup by Toney Douglas. As he was falling to the court, Kidd-Gilchrist took a knee to the back of the head from teammate Jeff Taylor. Here's the video of the scary contact: Kidd-Gilchrist did not move after falling to the floor. He stayed down for more than five minutes, as the training staffs of both teams came to his aid. He was placed on a stretcher and carted off the court to a polite ovation from the stunned crowd. He was taken to a local hospital via ambulance. Dunlap delivered the news that Kidd-Gilchrist had movement and speech in a post-game interview. Charlotte will update his condition after doctors examine him. The Rockets defeated the Bobcats, 109-95. [@MikeGillie14 ; @bobcats] Filed under: Basketball

Reliable Velocity V50 Steam Iron
Availability: In Stock. Ships out within 2 - 3 business days.Shipping Costs*
Item #: RE-VS V50
Why Green
- Effectively irons in less time - reduces energy
- Reduces exposure to harmful chemicals like Percelorethylene
- Does not have a coated soleplate
Expert Rating:
As seen in O The Oprah Magazine!
Finally no spitting or leaking while ironing! The Reliable Velocity V50 Steam Iron produces volumes of steam with digital temperature accuracy and removes wrinkles like a professional iron. With its patented two heating element design, the Velocity V50 won't let you down! A high quality stainless steel soleplate with holes at the tip allows for maximum steam penetration, even along those narrow gaps, while ironing your garments. The Velocity V50 is equipped with an automatic shut-off system which once activated will cease to heat and begin to cool the iron down 8 minutes after it was last used. For those who wish to leave the iron on for more than 8 minutes, the V50 also has a steam ready feature that allows the iron to stay on indefinitely. Other outstanding features include temperature display, left and right hand friendly steam activation buttons, 360° swivel cord and anti-scale system for keeping the internal tank clean and in tip-top shape. Simply put, the V50 offers everything you need in one simple and fun design!
- Patented continuous steam technology: two heating elements. Internal heating chamber pre-heats the water before it hits the heated soleplate. Ensures continuous volumes of steam, even at low temperatures
- Will not spit or leak and removes wrinkles like a professional iron
- Automatic shut off: iron shuts off automatically eight minutes after the last time it was used. This means that once the shut off device is activated, it ceases to heat and begins to cool down. To wake it up again, press the temperature button for at least one second.
- Steam Ready feature: allows the user to iron continuously without the auto shut off feature. When activated, the iron will not shut off, unless manually turned off by the user.
- Stainless steel soleplate: professional soleplate with holes at the tip for maximum steam penetration. Using stainless steel keeps it easy to clean and maintain
- Does not have a coated soleplate: Reliable does not put any spray coating on the irons. The coatings on irons will eventually scratch off and may become airborne and harmful to your health
- Ergonomic steam activation: left and right hand friendly steam activation buttons. Convenient for all.
- Temperature display: temperature indication with easy to read light display
- 360°F swivel cord: comfortable handle for extended use and 360 degree swivel cord
- Anti-scale cartridge: if you are in a hard water area, the build up of minerals such as calcium can be very detrimental to an iron. While distilled water is recommended, a replaceable anti-scale cartridge actively removes minerals from whatever water is being used, prolonging the life and improving the performance of the iron. It is recommended to replace the cartridge (subject to use) every 6 – 12 months
- Woolmark approved: first and only iron for home use that acts like it's a pro iron. The approval confirms it is safe to use on delicate wool fabrics
- 4 temperature settings, which can be selected by pressing the temperature selector
- 1800 watt heating element
- Steam pressure: 30g/minute
- Water capacity: 1.26 cups (300 ml)
- Weight: 3.3 lbs
How it Works
Conventional irons work by you setting the thermostat on the iron to the required temperature, pressing a button for steam where the water from the reservoir is released to the soleplate and then produces steam. The shortcomings of this method of creating steam are experienced when the temperature you require is too low for the water to be converted to steam. The results are typically spitting water/steam and in some cases ruining the garment.
The Reliable Velocity V50 compact vapor generator irons work differently by using two heating elements. The first heating element is mounted inside the iron, and is used to pre-heat the water to steam temperature. The second heating element is built right into the soleplate and is controlled by the digital buttons on the irons handle. Because the water is pre-heating using the first heating element, no matter what temperature setting you choose for your soleplate, you only get dry, even steam without spitting

I ordered 3 different hats on this site and this one runs on the large side. With a 25.5 inch head circumference I found this hat to be way too big for my head. I exchanged the 2x-3x for the xl-2xl. From what I have seen and read here, all hats seem to come with a larger bill.

Walters: Gov. Jerry Brown reverts to unsavory form
Two years ago, when California Gov. Jerry Brown was trying to reclaim the governorship he had left 28 years earlier, he often said that his age, maturity and lack of political ambition would allow him to succeed where others had failed.
Brown said he would patiently attack the state's political issues, especially the deficit-ridden state budget, and "I will tell the truth in ways (that hadn't occurred) in years past."
Those "years past" included his own first governorship, when Brown developed a reputation for saying whatever sounded politically advantageous at the moment, regardless of how it may have differed from what he had said previously.
Most famously, he denounced Proposition 13, the landmark 1978 property tax limit, as "a rip-off," but immediately after its passage, proclaimed himself to be a "born-again tax cutter," sponsored a state income tax cut and then ran for president in 1980 as an apostle of limited government.
When confronted with his contradictions, usually by journalists, Brown would figuratively shrug and utter some variation of Ralph Waldo Emerson's aphorism, "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds."
In other words, he implied, political shiftiness is the hallmark of a superior intelligence.
As Brown was seeking the governorship again in 2010, he implied to voters that he had grown up, wasn't going to be flaky any more and would give them nothing but straight talk.
However, as Brown attempts to qualify and gain voter approval this year for a ballot measure that would raise sales and income taxes, he has been reverting to type, once again issuing pronouncements and political slogans that are specious and self-contradictory.
He has insisted on several occasions that "100 percent" of the proceeds from his tax hike would go to schools when, in fact, the schools get little or nothing in net terms. But on other occasions he has touted it as a way of balancing the nonschool portions of the budget, which is more accurate.
He also described his measure as a "millionaires' tax," even though the increased sales taxes would apply to everyone and the income tax hike would kick in at $250,000 in income.
When asked about the latter, he said that "everybody who makes $250,000 becomes a millionaire very quickly if you save." But last week, during a radio interview, he backtracked, saying, "I'm not calling it that" and blamed the characterization on the state Democratic Party.
"What happened," Brown insisted, "was, I sent my petition out to my email list, and I put an attachment of the actual signature petition, and the Democratic Party had put some thing, some little explanatory material and put 'millionaires' tax.' "
Flip-flopping and shifting the blame. It is, as the inimitable Yogi Berra once observed, "déjà vu all over again."

Didn't like the idea of spending 500 on a maybe problem
Perhaps just found the answer.
Thanks for the info. I was not aware of voltage regulator problem.
I plan to at least get a fuel filter and the seal for the slave cylinder, plus I already have a fork seal. I haven't decided about the other stuff. I wished Inmate gefr could be sourced for all spares, as he has great prices!
Having said that, I am more concerned with the space to carry all of the spares than the price!

For the fun of it. Also, once you have about 75% overall completion, all the christina missions will be unlocked. Just stuff like that.
Like my mother always used to say: "A watched torrent never downloads."
The girls will be all over you.

lol you need to slow down and absorb what you're reading. Christina Missions, you may have done a mission involving her already. Her symbols on the map are the torn hearts.
WRPGS rise through the ashes of the JRPG.
Remember that girl you drop in on at the very beginning of AC2? The Christina missions flash back to memories involving her that we haven't seen yet. It's pretty interesting, really.
Your intelligence has decreased by 1 point.
basta! Porco putano! Cazzo!
Didyou memorized these?!HEY what if we use these italian curses instead of English?and gamespot will never findout! :P
i did that mission....i think i went and did some out of order, so im stuck with 3 towers left but i am unable to access them
why you hate it?
its not mandatory you know?
just don't bother with them, like if they don't exist, its simple as that and you won't lose anything.

NEW YORK – With a roster boasting four returning seniors from last year's NCAA Tournament squad and two Preseason All-BIG EAST selections, Creighton was tabbed the favorite in BIG EAST volleyball by topping the Preseason Coaches' Poll announced by the league Wednesday afternoon. In addition, Marquette sophomore Autumn Bailey, the 2013 BIG EAST Freshman of the Year, was named Preseason Player of the Year and one of seven unanimous picks to the 13-member Preseason All-BIG EAST Team.
The Bluejays topped the poll with 77 points and five first-place votes, with defending champion Marquette taking four first-place ballots and totaling 71 points for second. Third went to Xavier with 66 points and the last remaining first-place vote, while Butler's 58 points and St. John's 50 rounded out the top half of the poll.
Seton Hall finished sixth with 43 points and Villanova captured 29 points for seventh. The poll was rounded out by Georgetown (25 points), DePaul (21) and Providence (10).
Voting for the poll and the Preseason All-BIG EAST Team was conducted by the league's 10 head coaches who could not cast ballots for their own teams or student-athletes.
Bailey authored a remarkable rookie campaign that saw her capture honorable mention All-America and East Coast Region Freshman of the Year recognition from the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) alongside her Freshman of the Year and all-conference honors from the BIG EAST. The outside hitter led all players during BIG EAST play with 4.61 kills per set and was eighth hitting .306. The Burlington, Ontario, native played all 116 sets for the Golden Eagles and averaged 4.16 kills and 3.11 digs per frame.
Creighton (23-9, 12-4 BIG EAST in 2013) recently checked in at No. 23 in the AVCA Preseason Top 25 and has several significant players returning at critical positions. Middle blocker Kelli Browning and outside hitter Leah McNary, both seniors, were named Preseason All-BIG EAST after both were first-team all-conference selections last season. Browning was an honorable mention All-America pick and averaged 2.58 kills and 1.47 blocks in BIG EAST sets, while McNary posted a 3.02 kill-per-set ratio. In addition, the Bluejays return senior setter Michelle Sicner, another honorable mention All-American who averaged 9.72 assists in BIG EAST play. Kirsten Bernthal Booth enters her 11th season on the CU sideline.
Two of Xavier's (20-12, 12-4) Preseason All-BIG EAST selections were honorable mention All-Americans in 2013. Setter Aubree Smith, a senior, was a first-team All-BIG EAST pick after averaging 11.3 assists and 3.1 digs per frame in conference play, while sophomore Abbey Bessler was named AVCA East Region Freshman of the Year while logging 4.23 kills and 3.37 digs in BIG EAST matches. Senior Alex Blair, another Preseason All-BIG EAST member, was a second-team All-BIG EAST pick a year ago. Head coach Mike Johnson enters his fifth season in Cincinnati.
Under the watchful eye of 15th-year head coach Sharon Clark, Butler (24-8, 11-5) has four prominent seniors returning from last year's BIG EAST Tournament qualifier, including Preseason All-BIG EAST picks Belle Obert and Erica Stahl. Stahl, an honorable mention All-American, hit .276 in BIG EAST contests and Obert hit .256 with 3.22 kills per set in conference play. Both were named to the All-BIG EAST team a year ago.
St. John's (16-16) finished 2013 .500 overall but is looking to rebound after a 5-11 BIG EAST record. Joanne Persico marks the start of her 21st season as head coach in Queens with a pair of outside hitters earning Preseason All-BIG EAST accolades in senior Aleksandra Wachovicz and junior Karin Palgutova. Palgutova averaged 4.33 kills and 2.58 digs in BIG EAST play, while Wachovicz hit .234 with 3.94 kills. Additionally, junior libero Shawna-Lei Santos averaged 5.19 digs per frame against conference opponents.
Should Seton Hall (16-15, 7-9) make a return to the BIG EAST Tournament for the first time since 2011, the Manthorpe twins will probably be major factors. Seniors Shelbey and Stacey were second-team All-BIG EAST in 2013, with the former earning Preseason All-BIG EAST honors. Shelbey averaged 9.0 assists and 3.3 digs per set a year ago in BIG EAST play, while Stacey went for 3.2 kills and 3.1 digs per frame. Head coach Allison Yaeger is in her third season with the Pirates.
Villanova (12-17, 4-12) has a balanced attack returning for eighth-year head coach Josh Steinbach. Junior outside hitter Lauren Carpenter drilled 3.51 kills and junior setter Emma Pettit dished 10.19 assists per frame against BIG EAST opponents.
Three key seniors look to lead Georgetown (11-18, 4-12) back to the BIG EAST Tournament for the first time since 2001. One of those three, middle blocker Dani White, was a second-team All-BIG EAST selection in 2013 after averaging 2.71 kills and picking up 58 blocks while playing all 16 conference matches. Arlisa Williams embarks on her ninth season as head coach.
Fifth-year head coach Nadia Edwards welcomes seven newcomers to the DePaul (16-14, 2-14) roster in 2014. Junior setter Colleen Smith netted 9.67 assists and 1.81 digs in BIG EAST play last season, and will pace an offense that includes classmate Callie Huebener (2.46 kps in conference play) at outside hitter. The Blue Demons are seeking their first BIG EAST Tournament berth in their 10th season since joining the conference.
Providence (12-20, 4-10 America East) is back in the BIG EAST for the first time since 2002. Margot Royer-Johnson enters her 15th season as head coach of the Friars with seniors Mackenzie Ziegler and Annie Russian leading the way. Ziegler averaged 2.71 kills and 1.48 digs per set in America East play a season ago, while Russian posted a 0.53 blocks-per-set ratio in conference matches.
Nine of 10 BIG EAST teams open their 2014 slates Friday, Aug. 29 in various tournaments. Preseason favorite Creighton is the first squad scheduled to hit the floor with a 10:30 a.m. ET start against Lipscomb at the Kansas Invitational in Lawrence, Kan. Defending champion Marquette hits the floor last on Aug. 30 in the Rams Volleyball Classic hosted by Colorado State. During the non-conference schedule BIG EAST teams have 38 matches set against 2013 NCAA Tournament squads.
BIG EAST play opens Sept. 23 with the Bluejays heading to Georgetown. The top four teams in the regular-season standings will advance to the 2014 BIG EAST Volleyball Championship presented by New York Life Friday-Saturday, Nov. 28-29 hosted by Marquette at the Al McGuire Center in Milwaukee. The winner will earn the BIG EAST's automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament.

August 27, 2005 The US Air Force's Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) is designed to help the airforce fly fewer sorties and hit more targets and looks likely to become one of the most successful weapons development programs ever. Essentially, the idea is to reduce the size of the bomb so planes can carry more of them and with final testing finishing this week and proving devastatingly accurate, the SDB will now begin operational service deployed on the F-15E Strike Eagle in early 2006. The all-weather SDB weapon system includes four bombs and is compatible with every U.S. fighter and bomber aircraft. It has a standoff range of 60 nautical miles. At 71 inches long, this 250-pound class weapon quadruples the number of weapons every aircraft can carry.

#WW14001 - German Pfalz D.IIIa Biplane Fighter - Hauptmann Rudolf Berthold, Jagdgeschwader II (1:72 Scale)
The Fokker Dr.I Dreidecker (triplane) was a World War I fighter aircraft built by the company of Anthony Fokker, and designed by Reinhold Platz. It became most famous as the plane of the Red Baron, Manfred von Richthofen.
The Albatros D.V was a German fighter airplane used during World War I. In April 1917, Albatros received an order from the Idflieg (Inspektion der Fliegertruppen) for an improved version of the D.III. The resulting D.V featured a new fuselage with an elliptical cross-section.
The Pfalz D.III was a fighter aircraft used by the Luftstreitkrfte (Imperial German Air Service) during the First World War. The D.III was the first major original design from Pfalz Flugzeugwerke.
The Roland D.VI was a German fighter aircraft built at the end of World War I. It lost a fly-off to the Fokker D.VII, but production went ahead anyway as insurance against problems with the Fokker.
The Hansa-Brandenburg W.29 was a German monoplane fighter floatplane which served in the closing months of World War I, from bases on the North Sea coast. It was based on the W.12 biplane that it was designed to replace. The monoplane configuration created less drag, and thus gave greater speed.

Neo-Nazi Leader White Likely to Remain Jailed Until December Trial
An appeals court today overturned the decision of a federal judge who had released neo-Nazi leader Bill White on bond after setting several conditions. In making its decision, the three-member panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals characterized White as "a highly intelligent person apparently dedicated to having various persons killed," according to the Roanoke Times. White was ordered back to jail last month when the government appealed Judge James Turk's decision to grant White bail. Turk reached that decision after a psychiatrist testified that White didn't pose an imminent threat to the community.
White, who founded the American National Socialist Workers Party, has been charged with threatening a newspaper columnist, a civil rights lawyer and others over the Internet and by phone. His trial is scheduled for Dec. 9 in Roanoke, Va., where he lives.
Sympathy from the Far Right for Limbaugh on His NFL Rebuff
Reading news accounts of the past week, you may have thought conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh was merely rebuked for his history of controversial racial comments when he joined a group making a bid to buy the St. Louis Rams. Actually it was something far more serious, according to right-wing writer and commentator Selwyn Duke. Limbaugh was the victim of a "lynching," Duke wrote in an article posted on the John Birch Society website.
It's hard to imagine an angry mob storming the gates of Limbaugh's Palm Beach compound (market value, $48 million) and stringing him up from a palm tree. But twice Duke wrote that Limbaugh was lynched. And in a third reference, he conjured up the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings of 18 years ago, writing that Limbaugh was subjected to a "high-tech lynching."
An estimated 4,743 people – nearly 73 percent of them black – were lynched between 1882 and 1968, according to the Archives at Tuskegee Institute. Still, Selwyn equates a grotesque and terrifying death at the end of a rope with robust debate over Limbaugh's views, which Selwyn claims "are in fact very mainstream."
"It's quite a bit over the top," says Hilary Shelton, director of the NAACP's Washington bureau and vice president of advocacy and policy. [The organization took no position on Limbaugh's Rams ownership ambitions]. "Lynching was one of the earliest forms of domestic terrorism. Not only was it used to wreak havoc and fear, but to kill. It was used to send a chill to other African-Americans. Whatever is happening to Rush Limbaugh, it certainly is overly inflammatory to call this a lynching."

Oath Keepers Say They're on Patrol in Iraq
Oath Keepers, the militia/"Patriot" extremist group made up of law enforcement officers, military personnel and veterans, has posted a photo on its site showing (it says) "an active duty Oath Keeper in Mosul, Iraq" wearing two Velcro-attached "tabs" or patches, one saying "Oath Keeper" and the other "Three percent." The flag patch beneath them is also an insignia of the "Three Percenters," an informal alliance of hard-line gun owners.
The Oath Keepers figured prominently in a recent special report by the Southern Poverty Law Center on the resurgence of the antigovernment militia movement. The report described the group as "a particularly worrisome example of the Patriot revival." Oath Keepers is fully on board with all the standard right-wing conspiracy theories, as evidenced by its official list of 10 "Orders We Will Not Obey," in which it vows to resist any government efforts to "disarm the American people" or turn cities into "giant concentration camps."
In July, the SPLC also presented Congress with growing evidence that extremists are infiltrating the U.S. military and urged Congress and the military to take steps to ensure that the armed forces are not inadvertently training future domestic terrorists.
A spokesman for the Defense Department, Lt. Col. Les Melnyk, confirmed that the uniform shown in the photo is an Army combat uniform, the kind worn by soldiers in Iraq. ( continue to full post… )
Dutch Lawmaker Brings His Anti-Muslim Spiel to U.S.
A Dutch lawmaker notorious for his Muslim-bashing is scheduled to speak tonight at Temple University in Philadelphia.
Geert Wilders, who has repeatedly compared the Koran to Hitler's Mein Kampf, was for months banned from Britain because of concerns that his anti-Islamic views would trigger violence. He held a press conference there on Friday after a court overturned the no-entry ban.
Although the Temple University event marks Wilders' first visit to Philadelphia, he spoke in several U.S. cities during a visit to America earlier this year. In an April 27 speech in Miami, he said Europe was "on the verge of collapsing" due to an influx of Muslim immigrants. "The takeover of Europe is part of the global fight of Islam for world domination," he said, according to a transcript of the speech that's posted on Jihadwatch.org, an anti-Islam website. "Islam is not a religion. It is a political ideology. Islam's heart lies in the Koran. The Koran is a book that calls for hatred, violence, murder, terrorism, war and submission."
Because Islam is not a religion, according to Wilders, "the right to religious freedom should not apply to Islam." He called for a moratorium on the building of new mosques and the closure of all Islamic schools because "they are fascist institutions." He said anyone belonging to a "non-Western minority" should be required to enter into "a legally binding contract of assimilation." He also asserted that Islamic culture is inferior to Judeo-Christian culture.
In February, he screened his anti-Islam documentary Fitna on Capitol Hill at the invitation of Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz. Fitna shows verses of the Koran along with graphic footage of atrocities committed by radical Muslims, including the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"I think he's arguably the world's worst Islamophobe, but what is truly scary is his acceptance in the mainstream," said Brian Levin, director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State
University, San Bernardino. "He's unabashedly retrograde because he exploits deep-rooted fears about citizenship and security. His reprehensible, bigoted stereotyping of Islam completely mischaracterizes the beliefs of the overwhelming majority of the world's Muslim adherents. [And] his totalitarian proposals are not only practically preposterous, but the most morally reprehensible that one could conceive of next to murder or forced conversion."
At Temple, campus organizations have condemned the decision by a student group called Purpose to invite Wilders. Purpose's president, Brittany Walsh, told The Associated Press that the event was "an opportunity for the students to really express and practice their freedom of speech." Temple officials defended the right of student organizations to host controversial speakers.
Wilders' appearance at Temple is financed by the far-right David Horowitz Freedom Center in California. Wilders also is scheduled to speak tomorrow at Columbia University in New York.
Paranoia: Now It's a Game

Aha! Extremist Crowd Uncovers Another Sinister Government Plot
Holy cow! Another sinister plot by our government to enslave citizens has been unearthed by fans of radio talk show conspiracist Alex Jones. This one entails livestock. The Austin, Texas-based Jones posted a short news item on his Infowars.com website on Sunday about plans by officials in Oklahoma and Kansas to stage an emergency response exercise on Thursday to stop livestock movement in the event of a disease outbreak. "The exercise is not surprisingly funded by the Department of Homeland Security," Infowars noted darkly.
The plan is for the two states to coordinate efforts to stop animal movement across their shared border to prevent the spread of disease to healthy animals. In the exercise, officials will try to prevent animals in their states from contracting hoof-and-mouth disease. The disease was last identified in the United States in 1929. While it poses no real threat to humans, it's a highly contagious disease of cattle, sheep, swine, goats, deer and other cloven-hooved animals that causes painful blisters that make it difficult for them to eat and walk. An outbreak could be painful to the economies of Kansas and Oklahoma.
Thursday's exercise will include the screening of traffic at two border locations: Near Sitka, Kan., and near Turpin, Okla. That has Infowars readers as nervous as pigs in a barbecue joint.
"The County Sheriffs in those states should EXERCISE THEIR POWER to ARREST ANY GOV'T THUGS WHO INTEREFERE WITH COMMERCE," Underdog wrote.
"you can put alot of people in those cattle trucks. And the holes in the sides can be boarded up so you will not be able to see where they are taking you. My guess will be right to the insinerators," warned longrange223.
