We have ten dogs that will enjoy this product very much
Posted by Sonny Bill on Nov 30th 2011
Our existing pet doors were for two 20 lb dogs. Over the years the dogs were replaced by 3 cats, so I needed to get dog doors.These doors are exceptional quality and keep out drafts. The tunnel feature (which the former doors did not have) looks and works great. I had the doors installed by a handyman. (I do windows, but I don't do handyman stuff.) He had no problems at all.
Posted by BT1287 on Nov 21st 2011
This wall door is great for letting the dog in and out on their own. It was fairly simple to install. It did accomplish what we wanted it to do.
Posted by Brenda on Nov 15th 2011
With a very busy life this product will make things easier for me and the dogs. Am glad I purchased the doggy door.
Posted by JW on Nov 7th 2011
Good flaps, not drafty, dog seems to get along ok with it. I installed in a wall that was at the rated maximum thickness. It was a little difficult getting the tunnel ends to stay together during installation, but nothing a little patience couldn't handle. Looks good, pleased with the product.
Posted by CalamityRose on Nov 4th 2011
We installed the door in our Kitchen wall. Looks very nice. I especially like the tunnel look. Our Labs/Shepards love it. Even our Chihuahua doesn't have any trouble getting in and out.
Thank you for a fine product.

Double door version is a "4 Treat" learning experience. Our Min-Doxy now thinks it is her own door, and will not even use the slider door when open.
Posted by Tom The Dog-Faced Boy on Oct 27th 2011
I have looked at Doggy Doors all over. I am not into hard installation, cheap material. This door is EASY to install and made of heavy duty materials. Look no further. My Beagle and Jack Russel use it every day all day long. I live in Wyoming and the winters are cold and this has not effected my heat bill at all.
Posted by Tom on Oct 24th 2011
One of my dogs doesn't like it, I think because it has two doors and she is used to only having one door. The other dog doesn't have a bit of trouble with it. Was easy to install and if I can get my other dog to use it, I will like it. I may have to take one door off otherwise.

Threat Description
Trojan-PSW.Win32.Lmir.aeu is a delphi application that drops and loads a password stealing component on infected system.
Automatic action
Once detected, the F-Secure security product will automatically disinfect the suspect file by either deleting it or renaming it.
Detailed instructions for F-Secure security products are available in the documentation found in the Downloads section of our Home - Global site.
You may also refer to the Knowledge Base on the F-Secure Community site for further assistance.
Technical Details
Trojan-PSW.Win32.Lmir.aeu is a PE executable written in delphi. The trojan file is unpacked and about 51 kilobytes long.
Installation to system
When the trojan file is executed, it makes a copies itself as 'explorer.exe' to Windows system folder. It then adds the following registry key to ensure it will be started next time Windows is started:
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell] "Explorer.exe" = "C:\Windows\system32\Explorer.exe"
The trojan also adds an entry to the win.ini file using the Windows API call WritePrivateProfileStringA from the Kernel32.dll. The entry will look like this:
[windows] Load="C:\Windows\system32\Explorer.exe"
As win.ini is not supported by Windows NT, 2000 and XP, on these operating system the changes will be added to the Registry.
The trojan also drops a file 'htdll.dll' from its resource to Windows system folder. This DLL is is the password stealing component.
Trojan-PSW.Win32.Lmir.aeu activates the dropped DLL which starts to monitor Internet Explorer for account information (usernames, passwords). The DLL is activated using a fixed URL that is used to later send collected information to trojan author. The DLL can also send collected information using e-mails.
The trojan tries to kill several firewalls and other security related software in the installation phase to make sure the DLL can connect to remote server.
The trojan also tries to download and activate additional component during the installation. At the time of this writing, this component is not available.
F-Secure Anti-Virus detects this trojan with the following update:

Dead G5 iSight question (HC Techies)
hi everyone,
it's my first posting in the real mac area - so please forgive me for not only using "apple terms"
2 weeks ago i was thinking - hey, i need something to play with and bought a few mac's (no, i'm not mental - i worked a few years in the cell phone repair business - i can hold a soldering iron without burning my nose hairs )
so, as for now i fixed 1 imac g5 17" (ok, the display has the vertical lines - but i will try the common solution for that - when i have the time) - changed almost all capacitors, and it's alive again
today i changed some capacitors on a 20" G5 Imac - also back from the dead
but now i have a 17" G5 iSight that won't resists - one capatior was dead - changed it - but that's not enogh.
when i start it, the little wite light turns on, the fan starts (pretty decent) - but thats it, no chime, no beep, no screen activity at all.
did the smu pram reset (ok, the keyboard led is on, so it has power - but the mac did nothing at all, the light and the fan is on - thats it)
any suggestions ??
and please - i think it's a logic board problem - but i don't think that it is something big - so, no - i won't go and get a new logic board for the imac :lol:
(i fixed the other two for the fiendish amount of 10 (17") and ~7 (20") - so lets try to beat that with the isight, as for now - the used part was 0,40)
and btw - i also have a complete dead macbook 2,0 here - pcb looks good - nothing special - it's only dead (bought two - the other one had only a cracked lcd)
and if anyone has a suggestion about an nonliving TiBook 400 - hit me
thanks in advance

Del Norte golfer puts her mind, and ability, to it
Paris Griffith combines two aspects of game
The Griffiths are intent on giving their daughter every opportunity to realize her potential. She has been working the past three years with swing coach John Darling at Maderas. More recently, she has worked with Dr. Jay Brunza, a renowned coach on the mental aspects of the game.
"Golf requires a lot of mental strength," said Paris, who explained the approach that all golfers should make their mantra. "If I have a bad shot, I just put it behind me and think about the next shot. You can always follow with a birdie after a double bogey. It's just golf. Anything can happen. Just put it behind you and move on to the next shot."
She has her sights set on earning a college scholarship, and Reifeiss believes she is well on her way to doing it.
"Her chipping and putting have been getting a lot better and so has her ball-striking," Reifeiss said. "She's kind of coming into her own right now. She's definitely good enough to play at the next level."

Enthused by the touch of a woman, she's a masseuse
And I'm a professional porn star when off the Goose
from Kendrick Lamar – Sherane a.k.a Master Splinter's Daughter Lyrics on Genius
Kendrick here is a young man that can't wait to have sex. The touch of a woman brings him euphoric pleasure. Sherane might as well be a professional masseuse in his imagination, because the power of her touch makes him feel that good.
Meanwhile, Kendrick imagines himself a professional at sex when he's drunk. (Goose being Grey Goose vodka)

California Proposition 97, Restoration of Cal-OSHA (1988)
From Ballotpedia
Proposition 97 required the Governor of California and DIR to take steps to restore state operation of the private-sector Cal-OSHA program. Proposition 97 also required the Governor to: (1) propose sufficient funds in the budget submitted to the Legislature to minimize the risk to workers from industrial injuries, illnesses and exposure to toxic substances, and (2) seek the maximum level of federal funds to support the costs of administering the state plan.
Election results
|Proposition 97
Text of measure
The ballot title was:
The official summary said:
- "Federal law permits states to enforce occupational safety and health standards in private sector employment pursuant to federally approved state plan. California has had such a state plan and has occupational safety laws regulating private and public employment. In 1987, the Governor took action to withdraw the plan and to reduce its funding. This measure requires funds to be budgeted for the state plan and requires steps be taken to prevent withdrawal of federal approval of the plan or, if withdrawn, to require submission of new plan. Other changes are made."
Fiscal impact
- See also: Fiscal impact statement
The fiscal estimate provided by the California Legislative Analyst's Office said:
- "The fiscal effect of this measure would depend on how the California Supreme Court rules on the state's obligation to conduct a private-sector Cal-OSHA program."
- "If the Court Finds No Existing Obligation to Operate the Program. If the court rules that the Governor legally terminated the private-sector Cal-OSHA program, this measure would impose new costs on the state by requiring it to restore the program. Reestablishing the program would cost about $23 million annually. About half of these costs ($11.5 million) would be paid from the State General Fund and the balance from the federal funds. This estimate assumes that the state's previous level of Cal-OSHA activity would be sufficient to minimize risks to workers, and that the state would receive matching federal funds. In addition to the $11.5 million in state costs to reestablish the Cal-OSHA program, the state also could incur costs due to the "concurrent jurisdiction" provision. If the state authorized the enforcement of state work-place health and safety standards for mines and tunnels, it would incur annual General Fund costs of about $700,000. Thus, total state costs under this measure could exceed $12 million annually. The reestablishment of a private-sector Cal-OSHA program also would result in additional state revenues from the collection of fines imposed on violators of health and safety laws. It is estimated that these additional General Fund revenues would total approximately $1.6 million annually."
- "If the Court Finds an Existing State Obligation to Operate the Program. If the court rules that the state is already legally obligated to fund the private-sector Cal-OSHA program, the program would be reestablished regardless of this measure. Consequently, the Cal-OSHA provisions of this measure would have little or no effect. The "concurrent jurisdiction" provision, however, could have a fiscal impact. If the state authorized the enforcement of state workplace health and safety standards for mines and tunnels, it would incur annual General Fund costs of about $700,000."

The Terminator franchise is what got me interested in the movies in the first place. The first was a suspenseful cyberpunk thriller, and the second became my favorite movie of all time. The third fell short of intelligence but still solid nonetheless, and the TV series was a good addition to the franchise. Nearing the end of May, the fourth and latest film addition of the beloved sci-fi franchise will open, and viewers are in for a sheer summer spectacle.

Occupying Iraq, State Department–Style
The article originally appeared at TomDispatch.com. Click here to listen to the author discuss Washington going through withdrawal over Iraq and the mercenaries it's leaving behind.
Way out on the edge of Forward Operating Base Hammer, where I lived for much of my year in Iraq as a Provincial Reconstruction Team leader for the US Department of State, there were several small hills, lumps of raised dirt on the otherwise frying-pan-flat desert. These were "tells," ancient garbage dumps and fallen buildings.
Thousands of years ago, people in the region used sun-dried bricks to build homes and walls. Those bricks had a lifespan of about twenty years before they began to crumble, at which point locals just built anew atop the old foundation. Do that for a while, and soon enough your buildings are sitting on a small hill.
At night, the tell area was very dark, as we avoided artificial light in order not to give passing insurgents easy targets. In that darkness, you could imagine the earliest inhabitants of what was now our base looking at the night sky and be reminded that we were not the first to move into Iraq from afar. It was also a promise across time that someday someone would undoubtedly sit atop our own ruins and wonder whatever happened to the Americans.
From that ancient debris field, recall the almost forgotten run-up to the American invasion, the now-ridiculous threats about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, Secretary of State Colin Powell lying away his own and America's prestige at the UN, those "Mission Accomplished" days when the Marines tore down Saddam's statue and conquered Baghdad, the darker times as civil society imploded and Iraq devolved into civil war, the endless rounds of purple fingers for stage-managed elections that meant little, the Surge and the ugly stalemate that followed, fading to gray as President George W. Bush negotiated a complete withdrawal of US forces from Iraq by the end of 2011 and the seeming end of his dreams of a Pax Americana in the Greater Middle East.
Now, with less than seven months left until that withdrawal moment, Washington debates whether to honor the agreement, or—if only we can get the Iraqi government to ask us to stay—to leave a decent-sized contingent of soldiers occupying some of the massive bases the Pentagon built hoping for permanent occupancy.
To the extent that any attention is paid to Iraq here in Snooki's America, the debate over whether eight years of war entitles the US military to some kind of Iraqi squatter's rights is the story that will undoubtedly get most of the press in the coming months.
How This Won't End
Even if the troops do finally leave, the question is: Will that actually bring the US occupation of Iraq to a close? During the invasion of 2003, a younger David Petraeus famously asked a reporter: "Tell me how this ends."
Dave, it may not actually end. After all, as of October 1, 2011, full responsibility for the US presence in Iraq will officially be transferred from the military to the Department of State. In other words, as Washington imagines it, the occupation won't really end at all, even if the landlords are switched.
And the State Department hasn't exactly been thinking small when it comes to its future "footprint" on Iraqi soil. The US mission in Baghdad remains the world's largest embassy, built on a tract of land about the size of the Vatican and visible from space. It cost just $736 million to build—or was it $1 billion, depending on how you count the post-construction upgrades and fixes?
In its post-"withdrawal" plans, the State Department expects to have 17,000 personnel in Iraq at some fifteen sites. If those plans go as expected, 5,500 of them will be mercenaries, hired to shoot-to-kill Iraqis as needed, to maintain security. Of the remaining 11,500, most will be in support roles of one sort or another, with only a couple of hundred in traditional diplomatic jobs. This is not unusual in wartime situations. The military, for example, typically fields about seven support soldiers for every "shooter." In other words, the occupation run by a heavily militarized State Department will simply continue in a new, truncated form—unless Congress refuses to pay for it.
It would better serve America's interests to have an embassy sized to the message we now need to send to the Middle East, and it shouldn't be one of boastful conquest.
A Place to Call Home
After initially setting up shop in a selection of Saddam Hussein's Disneyesque palaces (in one of the dumbest PR moves of all time), plans were made to build an embassy worthy of the over-the-top optimism and bravado that characterized the invasion itself. Though officially photos of the inside of the Embassy compound are not allowed for "security" reasons, a quick Google search under "US Embassy Baghdad" turns up plenty, including some of the early architectural renderings of the future gargantuan compound. (Historical minifact: back in 2007, TomDispatch first broke the story that the architect's version of the embassy's secret interior was displayed all pink and naked online.)
The blind optimism of that moment was best embodied in the international school building stuck in one corner of the embassy compound. Though a fierce civil-war-cum-insurgency was then raging in Iraq, the idea was that, soon enough, diplomatic families would be assigned to Baghdad, just as they were to Paris or Seoul, and naturally the kids would need a school. It may seem silly now, but few doubted it then.
Apartments were built, each with a full set of the usual American appliances, including dishwashers, in expectation that those families would be shopping for food at a near-future Sadr City Safeway and that diplo-tots Timmy and Sally would need their dinners after a long day at school. Wide walkways, shaded by trees and dotted with stone benches—ultimately never implemented—were part of the overall design for success, and in memory now serve as comic rim-shots for our past hubris.
In la-la land they may have been, but even the embassy planners couldn't help but leave some room for the creeping realities of an Iraq in chaos. The compound would purify its own water, generate its own power and process its own sewage, ensuring that it could outlast any siege and, at the same time, getting the US off the hook for repairing such basic services in Baghdad proper.
High walls went up rimmed with razor wire, and an ever-more complex set of gates and security checkpoints kept creeping into the design. Eventually, the architects just gave up, built a cafeteria, filled the school building with work cubicles, and installed inches-thick bulletproof glass on every window. The embassy's housing for 4,000 is, at present, packed, while the electrical generators run at capacity 24/7. They need to be upgraded and new units added very soon simply to keep the lights on.
And now, the embassy staff in Baghdad is about to double. One plan to accommodate extra personnel involves hot-bunking—sharing beds on day-and-night shifts as happens on submarines.
The embassy will also soon need a hospital on its grounds, if the US Army truly departs and takes its facilities with it. Iraqi medical care is considered too substandard and Iraqi hospitals too dangerous for use by white folks.

While the private buses totalling around 1,400 in the district stayed off the road, KSRTC rolled out more than 80 additional services to major centres in the city and suburbs.
The dawn to dusk State-wide motor strike called jointly by trade unions on Wednesday passed off in the district without affecting public life.
While the private buses totalling around 1,400 in the district stayed off the road, KSRTC rolled out more than 80 additional services to major centres in the city and suburbs.
Additional services were operated to Kakkanad, Fort Kochi, Thevara, Aroor, Cheranalloor, Willingdon Island, and Pookkattuppady besides operating additional Vytilla-Vytilla circular services. KSRTC officials said occupancy on the services were on the lower side.
Boat services by the water transport department were also near normal. Though services to Mulavukad, Varappuzha, Fort Kochi and other places were operated as usual, the occupancy was relatively low, forcing authorities to cancel three trips. However, the cancellation of the Moolamppilly-Chittoor ferry service affected people in these areas.
The strike took its toll on cargo movement from the Cochin Port Trust and Vallarpadam Container Terminal with a section of container trailer workers staying off from work.
The District Collectorate and government offices at the civil station went was closer to normal. More than 80 per cent of employees turned up for duty at the civil station offices while the collectorate recorded absence of just 45 out of its 168 employees.
Infopark Campus was unaffected as employees turned up in their own vehicles while majority of cabs engaged by companies also operated as usual.
Passengers arriving at the Cochin International Airport Limited at Nedumbassery were not put to any hardship as the pre-paid taxis turned up in full strength. KSRTC also operated its services to the airport.

Oliva Serie G Double Robusto
5 x 54 - Natural - Single
A genuine African Cameroon wrapper highlights this unique-tasting and affordably-priced selection presented in mostly box-pressed shapes. Each cigar is skillfully handmade with a medium-bodied blend of Nicaraguan Habano longfillers and binders that are carefully selected to complement the rich flavor and aroma of the specially-aged wrapper. Available in a wide array of sizes, the Oliva Serie G Double Robusto is a great way to introduce yourself to the Oliva Family of fine premium cigars.
Huge sweet spot on this one. Nice peppery taste consistent through much of the last third.
Easy to light, burn is near excellent however the strong metal/ copper taste is not for me.
This gar was bitter and had a dirty leathery taste, with hard coppery after taste, it burned uneven and felt like it was stuffed with cotton! I finished 1/3ed as I could take no more!
Oh Yeah! Even my wife was a fan of the aroma. Medium is the perfect call on this smoke. I bought 2 to try, Then re-ordered 10. The draw, in my novist opinion, was perfect. This makes my hour commute bareable. A must have in the humidor.

By James Slater: Last night in Las Vegas, on the under-card of the Ada Velez-Melinda Cooper IBF female super-bantamweight rematch (won once again by Velez, this time via 10-round majority verdict), unbeaten Russian heavyweight hope Magomed Mago Abdusalamov kept his perfect pro record with an impressive 3rd-round stoppage of Rich Power.
30-year-old Abdusalamov who calls Oxnard, California his home these days, improved to 12-0(12) with the win over the previously un-stopped Power, now 15-2(11). The southpaw giant who claims to have hands like shovels, put Power down in the 3rd, the fight continued for a while after the 32-year-old bravely beat the count, and then Abdusalamov blasted his man with more hard shots, prompting the ref to dive in at the 2 minutes and 21-second mark.
Abdusalamov, managed by Sampson Lewkowicz, is beginning to build a substantial fan base. Heavy-handed as he says, the Russian is also an accurate puncher with decent hand speed. We know next to nothing about Magos chin and stamina thus far, but so far he does look like he could be the real deal. Power represented a tiny step up in quality of opposition, having only lost one previous pro outing, that on points to heavily-hyped British giant Tyson Fury who Power took the full eight rounds last September.
Okay, Power is no top contender, but for Abdusalamov to have ploughed through him the way he did deserves at least a little respect. Sampson Boxing think they have found a new heavyweight KO star. Maybe they have. Another promising sign from Abdusalamov is the fact that the 63 230-pounder is staying busy and active. Next set to box on Dec. 16th, again in Las Vegas, Abdusalamov will have fought four times since October 1st of this year.
Now that he has made his Vegas debut, Magomed will hopefully continue to up the level as far as his competition goes. It will be most interesting to see who he fights next month, on the Marco Antonio Rubio-Mohamad Said middleweight bout. With ten 1st-round KOs to his name already, Abdusalamov is clearly a heavyweight worth keeping an eye on.

The Forest Products Laboratory of the US Forest Service has opened a US$1.7 million pilot plant for the production of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) from wood by-products materials such as wood chips and sawdust. Prepared properly, CNCs are stronger and stiffer than Kevlar or carbon fibers, so that putting CNC into composite materials results in high strength, low weight products. In addition, the cost of CNCs is less than ten percent of the cost of Kevlar fiber or carbon fiber. These qualities have attracted the interest of the military for use in lightweight armor and ballistic glass (CNCs are transparent), as well as companies in the automotive, aerospace, electronics, consumer products, and medical industries.

Seahawks fans cause small quake during Saints game
Seahawks fans rocked the stadium so hard during Monday night's matchup with New Orleans that seismic instruments registered small tremors at various points in the game.
A magnitude 1 or 2 quake was recorded during Michael Bennett's 22-yard fumble return for a touchdown in the first quarter. The game, a 34-7 victory that clinched a playoff berth for the Seahawks, registered on nearby seismic instruments several other times.
John Vidale, director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, said fans get the oval stadium moving back and forth by stomping their feet and jumping up and down. ''It's sort of what you see when a car rocks back and forth,'' said Vidale, also a University of Washington earth and space sciences professor.
Vidale said a small quake wasn't all that surprising in the stadium, which is built on pilings dug through soft ground in earthquake country.
Structural engineers who plan buildings in Seattle often do so with room for movement, so when a natural earthquake happens the buildings aren't so stiff that they crack and crumble.
Vidale watched the game from his office to compare seismic reports with game action because he wondered if there would be a repeat of the 2011 ''Beast Quake,'' when Marshawn Lynch ran for a 67-yard, fourth quarter touchdown as Seattle upset the Saints to advance to the second round of the playoffs.
After the 2011 quake, Vidale looked at the whole season and found that that one Lynch run shook the stadium more than any other moment during that season.
He said it's possible quakes occur in stadiums in other cities, but he suspects Seattle's stadium is more flexible than most and may flow with the fans more.
''People unconsciously get the stadium moving, sort of like the wave,'' he said.
Seattle structural engineer John Hooper said similar quakes can happen anywhere a large number of people are moving in unison, but the difference in Seattle is that there were instruments nearby to record the quake and people were paying attention.
The same thing could happen next weekend in San Francisco, when the Seahawks play the NFC West-rival 49ers, said Hooper, director of earthquake engineering at Magnusson Klemencic Associates.
But he also acknowledged Seahawks fans are unique.
''They're very enthusiastic and it shows,'' Hooper said.
Seattle fans also made record noise Monday, setting the Guinness World Record for loudest outdoor sports stadium noise at 137.6 decibels.

Closed Sessions ft. Vonnegutt & Mic Terror - Fresh Like Me
Artist: Closed Sessions
Featuring: Vonnegutt, Mic Terror
Producer: Vonnegutt
Album: Closed Sessions Vol. 2
Avg Rating: 2.2 ( 6 votes )
The greatest quality of a compilation album is the variety of artists you get on individual songs, as well as the project as a whole. When it comes to Closed Sessions Vol. 2 we've already heard cuts from Raekwon and L.E.P. Bogus Boys, which is already an interesting combination of artists, and now we've got a record that features both Marietta, Georgia band Vonnegutt and Illinois emcee Mic Terror. While his stage name might come across as slightly intimidating, Terror kicks off his Fresh Like Me verse on a humorous note as he raps, "All these hoes be at my house wanting to stick to the man/ Plus my d**k look like that sh*t missing a wrist and a hand." On top of Vonnegutt frontman Kyle Lucas' introductory verse the group also handles the production, which is heavy on the rock. As we wait for the album and accompanying documentary to be released in conjunction with MTV2, check out past Closed Sessions Vol. 2 releases Keep It Politics and Don't Happen That Often, which are both available for free stream and download on DJBooth.

In their search for Utopia, some opponents of oil and gas drilling ignore innovation … What's harmful now will forever be that way.
The Question
That isn't true, but it raises a question for producers: What are you doing to reduce the negative effects of your activities on the communities where you operate?
The Answers
Here are examples of the industry investing considerable time, money and effort to reduce its impact on the environment:
There is no doubt that many of these efforts are a response to the looming presence of regulators and regulations. That is to be expected. Industries tend to believe they are doing "enough" to satisfy their critics and would prefer to be left alone to run their business. That is not going to happen. Regulators exist to regulate, opponents live to oppose, and no industry can ever do enough to satisfy those two constituencies, even if it means more costs and burdens.
Why Does it Matter?
Why do I speak of this? "The wages of sin …" Oops, wrong venue. "The downside of rapacious destruction of Mother Earth … " Too shrill, and generally not even true. Here you go: "Powerful forces are against you and if you don't meet them somewhere in the middle you could be squeezed out of the process. The result will be excessive and unreasonable regulation."
What Would Nanook Do?
The risks of pollution could not be portrayed more forcefully than in this musical interlude.

The great Armageddon war has been fought and most of the world is destroyed. Out of the ruin arise four countries that race to attain dominance through chronoid technology. In order to develop a chronoid, you need to have a perfect match of the 'chronoid G' and human specimen. However, if the chronoid procedure is unsuccessful, the human is killed. This is the story of four nations at war and the pursuit of the unbridled power of chronoid technology.

Don't undermine mainstream school paddlers
MY SON went through a stringent selection trial last month and was confirmed a place in the Singapore Table Tennis Association's (STTA) national youth team ("YOG selection rule furore"; Jan 29).
In contrast, his counterparts in the Singapore Sports School's School Within A School (SWS) programme did not have to go through such a trial, by dint of their enrolment in the Sports School.
I supported my son as I believe in an open and transparent policy, where only results matter after putting in hard work and sacrifice.
I cannot understand how STTA chief Lee Bee Wah can defend its policy. Opting for the SWS programme, with so many privileges and benefits attached to it, is hardly a "sacrifice".
Instead, those like my son, who did not join the programme and opted for a mainstream school, are the ones making a sacrifice.
The STTA should not undermine the aspirations of paddlers outside the SWS programme to become national players one day.
The national youth team itself is the final stage en route to the national team.
I hope the STTA still has meritocracy as one of its core values, and that only the best will represent Singapore on the international stage.

Learning in the UK
Hi Dominique,
Aha! Found it on the map. I bet you do have ferocious tides. We sail the Chesapeake Bay, with a maximum tide of two feet (that''s on springs and neaps) and currents so light they aren''t worth considering. But really, you might as well learn in the difficult stuff. You''ll have to deal with it eventually, and why not do it with an instructor in the boat? You have an advantage over me there.
I started sailing six years ago in the British Virgin Islands on a charter with friends and have been every year since. So, six "years" of sailing, but not that much time on the water--only 10 days a year. And all in warm, crystal-clear water with consistent trade winds coming from the exact same direction all the time. It''s very easy to sail down there. I will never forget how terrified I was the first time the boat heeled over. No one told me it would happen, and all I thought was GET ME OFF THIS THING NOW!! But I got behind the wheel the second day and never left it for the rest of the trip. I was hooked. So I took a few lessons (in Florida, more sunny, clear, warm water).
I had the bug, and last October my husband (he''s power, not sail) and I decided to get our own boat. It''s a 26-foot Hunter, just right for weekends on the Bay. It''s been a major adjustment for me to switch from sailing in paradise to the cold, gray waters of the Bay. Not to mention that it''s done nothing but rain this spring. You''d think we were in England!
It''s also pretty crowded, even though it''s a big body of water. The Baltimore/Washington area is a fairly affluent one, lots of people own boats, and they''re all out there in droves on a nice weekend. Some of them are pretty rude, too, particularly the powerboats that blast past you only 30 feet away. All that water and they can''t be bothered to turn the wheel to give you a little space. You also have the big ship channel to Baltimore to deal with, and you absolutely must stay out of the way of these monsters when they come through.
But we get out there anyway. It is much different being responsible for my own boat rather than having other, more experienced people to turn to for help and advice like I had on the charters. I''ll be glad when I have more miles under my belt and can relax a little more. The ever-present "chance of afternoon thunderstorms" keeps my apprehension level high. We had one two weekends ago with hurricane-force gusts and you can''t imagine how thankful I was that we weren''t out that day. But I know we will get caught in one eventually.
The best part is that the Bay has really beautiful anchorages. Once the anchor is (hopefully) set and I have a glass of wine in my hand, I can watch the ducks and swans and really relax. In fact, relaxed a bit too much last Saturday--we dragged anchor and had to be told by another boat that it was happening. The wind direction had changed 180 degrees and we should have re-set our anchor rather than expecting it to dig in on its own. Another lesson learned. We do a sort of de-brief on the drive home to talk about the mistakes we''ve made and what we will do differently next time.
Our charters have been on big 50-foot ocean-going Beneteaus, which are big and heavy enough to feel impervious to nature. Our little 26-footer does not feel that way!
So I think you''re doing it the right way, to start with a dinghy and move up, rather than the other way around. I bet you won''t have the paranoia I have about ending up in the water--having done it a few times already!
Well, I''ve confirmed the old adage that if you ask someone to talk about themselves, they will probably oblige. What got you started? What is dinghy sailing like? Must be pretty scary sometimes given the conditions you''re in.

Attaochu confident, well adjusted
"I was lost, a shy kid walking around," he says. "The freshman football coach was sitting behind a desk and asked me how big I was. I told him, "6-1, 185." He said I was playing football. An adult asks me to do something and I do it.
"They made me a wide receiver. I didn't even know how to put pads on; I needed somebody else's help. I was horrible. Then they made me a linebacker and it came to me naturally. I got promoted to varsity the next year because I was significantly better than everyone else."
There is bold to this young man. At the Senior Bowl, teams had tables set up in a hotel lobby, and Attaochu didn't wait to be invited to the Chargers' station.
"I asked them if they were scouting me," he says. "I had a formal interview with them at the Combine. I had my fingers crossed I would come here."
He has a chance to play and also learn behind veteran outside linebackers Jarret Johnson and Dwight Freeney. He will have time to study. There are no women in his life. At present.
"I always say the wrong things to women," he admits. "I should just keep my mouth shut."
Jerry Attaochu says he listens to adults. My only advice to him, having been married 42 years: That's a good idea.

The most grueling challenge of Raine Smith's equestrian career looms before her—the Olympic Games. Little does she realize that she's about to face greater perils in the arms of a stranger than she's ever found on the back of her horse.
Cord Elliot is a man trained to deflect disaster and his mission is to ensure that Raine Smith remains untouched by sudden gunfire at the Summer Games. Yet from the moment Raine Meets Cord's ice-blue glance, she knows he's more hazardous to her heart than a sniper's bullet. Falling for a man who answers to the call of intrigue and holds secrets that can never be shared is to endure the broken promises, unexplained absences, and constant danger that come with his profession. But in the fiery passion of irresistible love, a summer to remember seems worth any risk.

Tamil Nadu is back on the radar of Japanese businesses after the visit of the Emperor and Empress of Japan to Chennai.
An upbeat Consul-General of Japan in south India, Masanori Nakano, said that while their visit was to promote goodwill and strengthen friendly relationship between the two countries, the fact that the royals chose to visit Chennai had brought the focus back on the city, and Tamil Nadu.
"Tamil Nadu is one of the most desired destinations for Japanese companies," Mr. Nakano said.
Last year, till October, as many as 344 companies had set up shop in Tamil Nadu.
"We expect this number to be surpassed this year. It has the unique geographical advantage, presence of major ports, availability of skilled labour force, and an investor-friendly government," he said in an interaction at his official residence here.
In contrast, Andhra Pradesh has 88 companies and Kerala, 53.
Japan is keen on participating in infrastructure projects in the State, he said. There were many ongoing projects.
The Japan International Cooperation Agency is extending financial and technical support for the preparation of a comprehensive master plan of the Chennai – Bangalore industrial corridor project, which would also benefit Andhra Pradesh, he said.
Talks with the Tamil government on various projects have been progressing well. "Our government has recently exchanged notes to provide ODA [overseas development assistance] loan to Tamil Nadu investment promotion programme in November 2013. This assistance will enable the State to improve the investment climate and also ease hurdles for foreign investors, especially Japanese companies, whose presence is growing in the State," he said.
The Hogennekal drinking water project, the Tamil Nadu Transmission System Improvement Project and the Chennai Metro Rail Project are among the ODA-funded projects in the State.

Rosie O'Donnell just bid farewell to her View cohosts, explaining that, "I've decided and we couldn't come to terms with ABC … I will be coming back and guest hosting, doing one-hour specials on autism … I'm just not going to do the every day thing … They wanted three years. I wanted one year … And that's showbiz."
Barbara Walters was the next to jump in, gushing, "You will be missed very much." Then she added: "I would like to make one thing perfectly clear, that I did not participate in the negotiations for Rosie. I'm going to read that I did this and I did that, and it brings back a lot of other things I was accused of doing and I didn't do … This is not my doing or my choice."
O'Donnell said she'd be around until the end of June. "They're not kicking me out, don't worry."

Mayhem (Mission)
Time for another one of Steelport's Activities, this one called Mayhem. Meet Kinzie, then you'll be on foot with infinite ammo of many of your weapons. Your goal here is to cause as much damage as possible, similar to Tank Mayhem (Mission) in the Prologue. Remember to cause as much damage as you can to objects, rather than people: every successful thing you explode adds to your combo, so if you blow up a line of fences with a grenade, you'll get combo points for each part of the fence.
In fact, grenades are your best friend because of their explosion radius. Aim for fences and, when the Deckers start showing up, enemy cars. Blowing stuff up causes the most widespread damage, and therefore the most combo points, turning into the fastest cash income.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
Chris Hall doesn't look like he's going to kill himself--or anyone else, for that matter. A polite soul with a baby face, he has a faint lisp when he speaks, and seems younger than his 27 years, much like everyone in his rock band, Signal and Report. ("Clean living," they explain.) But when he steps to the microphone, kicking the effects pedal on his guitar, something else rises out of him. He's like a puppy in the spotlight, casting a dragon's shadow.
The spectacle is both classic and comic: Neatly dressed Electric Fetus cashier by day morphs into a spitting, snarling, abusive monster by night. In the band's meat-locker-like practice space in northeast Minneapolis, I hear Hall's gruff, demanding voice echo and realize how many perfectly normal kids Joy Division's Ian Curtis has liberated--and I don't mean by killing himself. The most famous suicide in punk was also the first icon to give sad kids permission to be sad in public--to make sadness a life force as relentless and irresistible as anger or joy.
Signal and Report, who play Wednesday, July 2 at the Turf Club, turn their own bad mood into something propulsive. Christian Herro swoons over his blaring Roland synthesizer, and bassist Noah Miller locks into the bass-drum pulse of Mike Cain--who first discovered the others in this same room two years ago, while taking a break from practicing with another band. After standing outside the door for a few minutes and listening to Signal and Report's haunting drone, Cain walked in and suggested he could do better than their drum machine.
He must have been right: The music pulls you in like a trap door in a basement. But it's songwriting that keeps you there. Over an urgent beat, Hall barks the words to "Control":
"I need control back in my life,
I need control of you
I need control to make things right,
So you get your due..."
What strikes me about the song, from the band's cool debut CD, No New Rome to Burn (Augustus Records), is how it dares to say something straightforward. "I need control back in my life" is about as vague and emo-artful as telling your lover, "Pick up some eggs on your way over." And the metaphor Hall employs next similarly works without laboring: "When you talk, every word that's been said/Seeps deep through the cracks in the wall built around my head."
Only the closing line betrays Hall's weakness for the literary. At first "For the love of God, Montresor!" sounds like "For the love of God, undress her!" until I reread the lyric sheet and reach for Google: Turns out the line is from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado"--the last words of a man who is literally walled in to die. That's a hell of a way to ask for more space in a relationship--and a pretentious one to boot. But as Morrissey fans know, one phrase isn't enough to throw you out of a song. Miller later confesses that he has loved Hall's lyrics for years without always exactly understanding what they mean. And Miller sings some of those words with Hall.
"So what do your girlfriends think of the songs?" I ask the musicians after practice, as all four settle into a booth at the nearby bar Mayslack's for cokes and ice teas (none of the band members drinks).
"There's a loaded question," laughs Miller. "Let's talk about Interpol."
He's joking, of course: The question of how Signal and Report compare themselves to the most popular band currently reviving British post-punk has dogged them from the start, and I barely bring it up before the musicians beat it down like a gopher. They hadn't even heard the "I word" when they entered Sacred Heart studios in Duluth to begin work on No New Rome to Burn. And their lyrics set the band apart from their New York contemporaries: When Hall sings, "My heart sets with the glow of a red twilight," he means his heart is sinking, and he's saying it in a poetic way. When Interpol's Paul Banks sings, "Saturn makes your mind break into pieces," he's being decoratively meaningless.
It should be pointed out that Miller and Hall had been playing ghoulish synthesizer rock for years--ever since they met in college in Iowa City--and had been loving Ian Curtis long before it was considered anything but nerdy. If the times are catching up to Signal and Report, so much the better. But if success does come, here's hoping it doesn't go to their walled-in heads. We need these boys miserable.

COLUMN: Ole Miss defense passes eye test
ATLANTA- You had a good idea, but until you see it live, you just don't really know. Ole Miss' defense was the talk of fall camp. Another crop of newcomers along with some key transfers had made the unit as deep as it's been in the last three years, and those recruiting classes had brought some top-flight talent to that side of the ball.

Chávez reaches out to Hillary
- By P.J. Aroon
At this weekend's Summit of the Americas, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez reached out to Secretary Clinton to talk about posting ambassadors in Caracas and Washington. (And based on the April 18 photo above, it looks like Clinton in return did a bit of reaching out, too, in the literal sense.)
An Obama administration official told CNN, "We don't know yet if Chávez is serious. … We're not rushing into this."
Clinton might agree about the rushing part. When she was running for the presidential nomination in 2007, she told CNN, "I don't want to see the power and prestige of the United States president put at risk by rushing into meetings with the likes of Chávez and Castro and Ahmadinejad."
Remember, Chávez is the man who last month called President Obama an "ignoramus" and said "he should read and study a little to understand reality." (I suppose that's why Chávez gave Obama a copy of Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent.)
Still, it looks like Clinton's State Department is happy about the tiny baby step taken in the U.S.-Venezuela relationship. The department's spokesman Robert Wood said, "This is a positive development that will help advance U.S. interests, and the State Department will now work to further this shared goal."

Portland...Puerto Vallarta...???
View Single Post
Joined: Dec 2007

Monday, Oct 6: Day 14
We figured we had to ride about 6-7 hours today so we take our time getting ready in the morning. After breakfast we tour the malecón area. Ive spent a good deal of time in tropical, humid areas in Costa Rica, but the humidity in Mazatlán may just be the stickiest Ive ever felt. My clothes seem to simply melt. Eyelids stick. Putting the helmet on feels absurd. But the views are very pleasant.
I'm not sure, but it looks like Marc is flipping me off!
By 10:30 were on our way. At the gas station several boys ask for some money and I offer them a half full gallon of water which I had just bought to fill my water bottles. They like that and immediately started chugging the cool water. Then I let them start the bike and rev the engine which they like even more. Even though were dressed in our mc gear, moving at hiway speeds the heat and humidity are tolerable. One last long stretch riding towards Tepic and there we finally reach hiway 200 which will take us into Puerto Vallarta.
At a road construction area I slow down as the guy is somewhat waving at me to do so. I look at him and motion whether to stop or just slow, and I take his hand signs to slow down, which I do. A few seconds later, the two lane road becomes just one and soon traffic is coming right at me! Woops, I guess he wanted me to stop; confirmed as I dont see Marc behind me. I pull over quick enough, and then wait for the cars to pass and Marc to join me.
Just 20 more miles to Puerto Vallarta!
We make it to the outskirts of Puerto Vallarta by 5:00 and I call Chava, my friend, who directs us towards the downtown area. We park and call again and within a few minutes hes there and were very happy to see him. He lives only 5 minutes away and soon were having dinner at his house.
Our bikes parked outside Chava's house...
It suddenly hits me that were done! Tomorrow, well wake up and not have to ride anywhere. I check the odometer on my bike and it reads just over 3,000 miles since we left Portland, two weeks ago. My flight leaves in two days...
Total miles: 265; Mazatlán to Puerto Vallarta
