HHH turns heel and makes Ace definitive Raw GM?
That sounds OK
Regarding the character -> this is my cup of care \_/
...Oh look it's empty
Don't get me wrong dude i'm full the superfrickin' cena bullcrap, I was just thinking angle credibility wise. He came back after 2 weeks -> this remembers me of the famous cena firings.
Am I glad...
Don't you guys think that punk came back too early and that the "leaving the E" angle lost of its credibility?
Good. Now we'll some more great matches between them. IMO Christian should've turned heel right after losing the belt.
Was with Randy Orton's happy happy joy joy jump and hitting the air with his fists after RKO-ing Mark Henry at SM? He was happy like a child after getting what he wanted on Christmas
I agree. The chances that Christian recaptures gold are minimum but i think it would be a good change for him to turn heel
He might feud with Orton and in the process maybe retain the gold. In this way Orton will still be the top face in SD and the fans happy that Christian has the belt.
I think Christian is way better as heel than RTruth
Christian turns heel after being defeated by Orton for the WHC ? He could state that the fans picked Orton and it is their fault for him not being champion anymore.

MTV's Boy Band 2gether: Together Again!
Remember 2gether? If not, we're happy to give you a little memory jog: They're the franken-group that parodied the boy band craze of the '90s with a movie and spin-off series on MTV.
2gether became so popular that they even toured with Britney Spears. How's that for life imitating art? Or is it the other way around?
Anyway, TMZ recently spoke with Alex Solowitz — the faux band's "bad boy" — who revealed that they guys are in talks to film the band's (fake) reunion. The parody will also feature them creating a new song! (It's still unclear whether the song will be fake or not.)
Everyone is on board for the project, save the group's youngest member, Michael Cuccione, who passed away after losing his battle to cancer in 2001. The group intends to donate the majority of their proceeds to Michael's foundation.
The only thing left to do? Meet with MTV and have the bigwigs sign off on the idea. Shouldn't take 2long, we hope!

Pretoria — Job creation and the boosting of the local South African manufacturing sector are at the top of the agenda for the Request for Proposals [RFP] to procure renewable power producers.
"In the IRP up to 2016 for this request for proposals, what we would like to achieve out of this ... is we'd like key government imperatives like job creation and local manufacturing to be high up on the agenda," said the Energy Department's Director General, Nelisiwe Magubane.
According to the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP2010) - which is a 20-year projection on electricity supply and demand - about 42% of electricity generated in South Africa is required to come from renewable resources.
The department has put out a bidding process where it will look for proposals on new generation. It wants to procure 3 725 MW of renewable energy through this process.
"We really need to see some real benefits for South Africa. We don't want to see a situation where almost everything is imported and jobs are created elsewhere instead of this country. That is our point of departure when we requested these ... proposals from independent power producers," explained Magubane on Wednesday.
The Energy Department put up the RFP for download on 3 August.
"Indications so far are that we're receiving a more than expected response from possible bidders. We're hoping to finalise processes before the end of November," she said.
Under this programme, projects must be in the grid by 2016, with the first window closing in 2015 in respect of all technologies submitted by bidders, except for Concentrated Solar Power (CSP).
Ompie Aphane, the Acting Deputy Director General for Electricity, Nuclear and Clean Energy, said the department believed that solar power cannot exceed certain price caps.
The department would score bidders in relation to their contribution to economic development criteria.
"We do not look at price if you have not satisfied the scoring of economic development. If there is any breach to that, it could lead to termination of the contract."
Eskom would be the designated buyer of power. During the parastatal's application for a World Bank loan, there was 100MW of wind power, which is in the IRP and 100 MW of CSP allocated to the parastatal, which is in the tariff.
"So they are not going to be bidding at all. With regards to them lobbying government, they indicated that they would like to play in the renewable energy space. We are talking to them because we want them to indicate what will be the tariff implication of their involvement," explained the director general.
Allowing the parastatal to bid would be to indirectly fund it, said Magubane, adding that the department "wants to see some foreign direct investment."
Bidders have to pay a registration fee of R15 000 for access to bidding documentation.
"So far, we have received over 270 registered prospective bidders, which is the kind of response that gives us confidence that the market is receptive to what we have put out," said Aphane.
A scorecard has been put in place on issues such as what kind of jobs will be created, and also what kind of jobs will be created for historically disadvantaged people, as well as those who are skilled and rural development, among others.
On the question of the legality of renewable energy feed in tariff (REFIT) -- which was meant to attract investors (independent power producers) to new power generation going into the future -- the department said the problem with REFIT was that NERSA cannot predetermine a tariff in the absence of a license application. The regulator can only approve a tariff based on an application.
The regulation act requires the regulator to consider objections from the public in relation to the licensing process.

Gossip Girl
Where Do Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Live?
Gossip Girl's Blake Lively (Serena van der Woodsen) and her green-tights-wearing hubby, Ryan Reynolds, recently exchanged vows in a romantic southern ceremony, and now the time has come to settle into a love shack, baby!
Like most celebrity couples, Blake and Ryan own multiple properties, but their main digs are in Bedford, NY, where Blake owns a $2.3 million residence. Bedford is a charming town in Westchester, and has also been home to celebs like Martha Stewart, Rooney Mara, Donald Trump, Richard Gere (who owns a hotel in the area), and Ralph Lauren.
Blake and Ryan renovated their property back in June 2012 and were seen shopping around for one-of-a-kind pieces that would make the cozy house 100% unique. Ahhhh, domesticity!
Rumor has it that Ryan still owns his ranch-style home in the Outpost Estates neighborhood of Los Angeles, so fear not –– this dynamic duo has a place to stay when they head to sunny California for business and pleasure!

Proposed Identities: Vanessa Lam's stunning branding for a conceptual enterprise
Vanessa Lam's conceptual identity for the Center for Land Use Interpretation presents an incredibly thorough and engaging piece of branding albeit for an organisation that never commissioned her work. If they had perhaps the client would have inhibited her impressive designs, but let's ignore that notion for the time being.
Vanessa's branding takes universal topographical pattens as its inspiration, expanding these simple marks across a wide variety of print collateral, digital media, exhibition and exterior design, giving the organisation an instantly recognisable visual presence. Coupled with beautifully complementary brand colours and a stand-out sans serif she succeeds in making rather a dull-sounding organisation immediately more approachable.
But it doesn't stop there, Vanessa has also proposed a variety of interesting digital solutions including an app that allows users to map their surroundings using their samrtphone's in-built GPS and keep field notes on their own personal travels and interactions with the landscape they inhabit. Now all we need is for someone at the Center for Land Use Interpretation to give Vanessa their business and none of this beautiful work will go to waste.

Weekend Getaway to Astoria, Queens
11 Aug
Don't get me wrong – I love summer in Saratoga just as much as the next guy. But sometimes during the six weeks of racing season, it's nice to get away and enjoy the atmosphere and most importantly the cuisines of other areas.
That's why this weekend I spent my days walking around Astoria, Queens visiting my brother and sister-in-law, eating all different foods and celebrating different cultures that help to make my job even more enjoyable.
What I love most about traveling outside of Saratoga is that it's like a breath of fresh air when it comes to creativity and inspiration. Everyone has their own niche down here, as they have to in order to survive. With thousands of restaurants lining every street in New York City, the food baby I currently have from everything I've eaten is pretty much in its third trimester at this point.
Here's a look in pictures at my weekend, and the different cuisines I had the pleasure of consuming in Queens, Brooklyn and Manhattan:
In closing, I love it here. It makes me happy.
If I lived here full-time, I think my stomach would grow significantly, regardless of the amount of walking you do.
But whenever you get the opportunity to get away, even just for a day or two – do it. Try new things, explore different cuisines. It'll make your palate, and your life, that much better.

For 2012 Iron Horse Invitational – Recap & Results and many other topics visit HSWrestling.net
Iron Horse Wrestling Invitational
When:* October 7, 2012
Where:* South Plainfield, NJ
What:* Preseason Wrestling Tourny
At first glance of the brackets for the 8th annual Iron Horse Invitational, one may ask, "Where are the weight classes?" There were 31 brackets and all competitors weigh in before the invitation-only event. In each bracket, the wrestler's weigh near the same as one another, but talent is also a factor in grouping. It is a round robin of five where all in the bracket will wrestle one another. The wrestler with the best record is recognized as champion of the bracket.
For Intermat Recap by Corey Haddad
In its eighth year running, the "invitation only," Iron Horse Invitational has again provided wrestling fans with quality preseason matchups. There was some serious wrestling going on in many of the brackets, and as expected in a preseason event, there were some notable performances and upsets.
Freshman Nick Suriano of Bergen Catholic in New Jersey made a statement winning Bracket 1 with dominating wins over a pair of solid Pennsylvania wrestlers — Luke Karam of Bethlehem Catholic, ranked 19th at 106 and Gage Curry of North Hills. All three of these wrestlers will be at the Super 32.
Darian Cruz, ranked 11th at 120, moved to Bracket 7, which averaged 120 pounds. He showed quickness and dominance. The Lehigh recruit is headed to the Super 32 as a former champion.

Ireland a future global start-up hub
An article by ex-Apprentice contestant Joanna Murphy of ConnectIreland
Irish internet telephony provider Blueface has announced a number of new customer wins and the fact that it recently served its 100 millionth business call.
Recent additions to the company's customer base include Micksgarage.ie, Daft.ie, Champion Sports, Jackie Brown Medical and Viking Splash Tours.
The company said the flexibility provided by its IP network coupled with huge telecoms cost savings are key drivers of its new business customer acquisitions.
"We will enjoy savings of over €8,000 in the first year," said Philip English, systems support manager, Champion Sports, commenting after signing up with Blueface.. "Apart from the savings, the customer support from Blueface is first class."
Ciaran Maher, CTO, Daft.ie, said: "Daft.ie are very happy with the Blueface service. Blueface are very important to the efficient running of our business."
Alan Foy, CEO, Blueface, said the company prides itself on understanding the telecommunications needs of the SME sector and delivering an innovative service to meet these needs. "Many SMEs are currently paying far more than they need to for packages that often do not provide the necessary solutions for their business. Our service is tailored to the needs of individual companies and we can also offer valuable add-ons which are not available as part of packages offered by other providers."

I have been working at Opera Solutions full-time
1) There are some smart people with decent personalities working for this company (though the # of such people there are rapidly diminishing as you read this)
2) They provide lunches on Fridays
4) The jersey office has a nice view of manhattan
1) This is a consulting firm trying to become a big data solutions company - it is trying to develop products without hiring people who know how to manage the products. They plug consultants or programmers who do not have product managing experience to cobble together products. The result: they spend way too long building products that are not outstanding or groundbreaking in anyway, in many cases, they keep investing in failed attempts for far too long.
2) There are not many people who truly want to mentor the younger people in the firm. A lot of the "mentors" are mentors more because it is a requirement of the job given their level of seniority.
3) Environment is political, obvious practice of nepotism
4) Management or those who communicate to the rest of the company on behalf of the management (i'm not clear who's in the "management" anymore these days) also make promises to employees that they cannot keep
5) The company does not have enough cash to give out any year end bonuses or promote anyone in 2012
6) The best people in the firm are leaving. Top execs that have been with the firm right from the beginning are also jumping ship -which is an indicator of how bright the growth potential of the firm is these days as these should be the very people who believe most in the company. They have been building the company for years, given stock options, and should be waiting to reap the benefits of seeds they sowed for the firm... but they have decided to give whatever "rewards" this firm can offer to them up
7) I dont think the company has any values that are inspiring. It has a somewhat decent culture only because the little people that they hire at the bottom happen to be decent people who have a fairly good head on their shoulders and are willing to contribute to the community spirit of the company

SV1000 where ya all at?
1 Attachment(s)
Heres mine :D
Nice bike!
One here, '03 Naked. Stuck on a double head light like a Speed triple, set of CF Yosh's, Buell pegs, and an S model chin spoiler. Along with a set of Heli-Bar risers, very comfortable and quick bike.
1 Attachment(s)
Thnx...need get around to painting that front wheel black before spring.
Heres one more...
07 SV1k here too. I have the all black model. Did a 04 GSXR 750 fork conversion and added Givi bags w/ a Superbike bar kit. Great bike.
I am seriously lusting for a SV1000N, and have been for a long time.
Right now they're going kinda cheap here (not that much more than a SV650), and I'm really tempted, but I know nothing about those bikes and I've never ridden one.
What are the pro's/cons of the naked SV1000?
I just love the thought of riding a big v-twin. I'd love to own something like an aprilia RSV Mille (since i'm very passionate about aprilia), but it's much more expensive than the SV.
The only complaints I hear is comfort. I fixed my problems by going to upright bars, not a problem on the N model. Outside of that, it should be a good reliable bike with gobs of torque.
These things have a ridiculous engine in them. I had a short 10 month relationship with mine. Terrible suspension and brakes, I should kept it and bought better brakes and suspension for it.
But man that engine...top speeds near 160mph, no kidding. That thing just screamed. And even new they didn't sell well so you could pick up a brand new one for $6500-7000 after letting them sit in the showroom for a couple years.
I did the Yoshi 3/4 TRC system (NLA now) and a power commander, but it wallowed like crazy in the turns and always spun the rear wheel if you even came close to the paint.
The only thing I'd change on my current Superduke is to give it the top end of an SV1000S.
I never found the brakes on my N model to be anything less than great. There are plenty of fixes for the suspension, which is actually more than adequate for anything up to 8/10s. To me the seat is the worst part.
The pros are a killer motor with power everywhere in the power band, great sound, smooth engine with just enough vibes to let you know it's there. Maintenance? Change the oil. No ridiculously short valve adjustment sequence as on the Italian bikes
By installing the Buell foot pegs you drop them about an inch (2.5cm) and then add Heli-Bar risers to bring them up and back and you have a touring quality position, except for that F**King seat. There are aftermarket fixes for that too.
I had a SV650 which handled better in the tight stuff and was a lot of fun, but the amazing rush from the 1000cc engine cannot be denied! :clap
I've never met anyone who had one that was unhappy with it. Go for it!
Just sold my '07. Great bike!
I bought mine with 16,000 miles on it and have put about 12,000 on it over the past seven months. :evil
I haven't had a single mechanical issue with it and find it extremely comfortable ergonomically. I routinely do 350 mile sporty rides in the mountains and feel great at the end of the day. It's got the perfect amount of a power for a street bike, imo.
The only downsides: It's not the flashiest looking bike out there. Very subdued and conservative looking, which you may or may not like. Also, the suspension seems to wallow a bit (under-damped? not sure) when cornering at high speeds but this isn't really much of an issue on public streets... for me anyway. It's a very simple bike. No ABS, no traction control, no heated grips or other features.
But they got a lot of things right: smooth fueling, great transmission, nice light clutch, very nice torque curve, great riding position. I use it for one-up sport touring with soft panniers and it's fantastic. It's also great in urban traffic (narrow and light) and doesn't overheat on hot summer days in the city.
love my 07
racetech springs and a zx6 shock fixed any of my suspension issues. the thing rocks and i got it otd for cheap in early 08. nothing out there like it. vtwin soul + japanese reliability + every day ergo's + CHEAP to buy and insure make it near perfect for me.
will find a pic.
not mine but its a nice one
FUN bike. I'd like to see one with upright ergos, ABS, belt drive and a larger tank. I'd have a hard time not buying it.

The BBC Live Lounge is known for producing stellar live covers of pop songs. Just in its seventh year, the ongoing series has quickly become a popular way to explore new ground with hit songs of the past year while showcasing the amazing talent of the artists who owned the past twelve months. Florence Welch, Jamie Cullum, Taio Cruz have all made their way through the studio to produce a rocking cover jam. This year proved to be no different. Miley Cyrus, Vampire Weekend and Bastille all knocked it out of the park with unexpectedly amazing covers that really made one wonder if they should have sung the song in the first place.
Pronunciation Guide: HAIM, Kodaline and Lorde Teach You How To Say Their Names
HAIM, Kodaline and Lorde are just three artists to emerge this year who have challenged our ability to talk out loud. On paper, each of the artist's on-stage monikers look simple enough, but all of them are trickier than expected. No matter how hard we try, we always say "HAIM" wrong! Thankfully, these emerging artists sat down with VH1 to teach us how to say their names.

First off, pot is NOT legal in Amsterdam. That's right... it's NOT legal. You see the Dutch have the ability to look beyond the American concept of criminalizing things... and in this case they take the approach that if you're only using it for yourself and not purchasing or transporting huge quanities... then they'll tolerate the use of small amounts of pot, hash, and other psychedelic stuff like mushrooms. (FYI: yes, it's real hash. Not tar.) What's this mean in real terms? It means vacation just got a lot more relaxed!
WARNING: READ THIS BEFORE YOU CONTINUE: The stuff you'll get in Amsterdam is really, really high quality. You think you get good stuff? You ain't seen nothin' yet. Take this piece of advice to heart: GO SLOW! If you overdo it on the first day, you will regret it. I've seen it too many times. People in my party will go out on the first day and smoke everything in sight, only to find that they can't handle it... and spend about 3 days coming back down in their hotel room. Remember this little tid bit: Life is too short to pass out before you're due. Take it slow. Enjoy the fact that you can acutally purchase the stuff in a controlled, acceptable social situation.
Ok, here's the basics: Marijuana products are sold in places called "Coffeeshops". Don't ask me why they're called that... they just are. I'll tell you some of my favorite coffeshops in Amsterdam in a second. Psychedelic products like mushrooms are sold in stores called "Smartshops". Again, don't ask me why. There are so many Coffeeshops in Amsterdam that there's no way you can ever get to all of them on one trip... no, most of the fun is finding the one that suits your taste the most... and then finding another.
Most Coffeeshops will also serve food items (hmmm, got the munchies?) and light beverages. Some used to serve beer, but the Dutch government has restricted beer sales away from places that also sell pot and hash. It's a really good idea to get a beverage wilst enjoying a smoke... you never know when you'll need a bit of warm coffee or fresh squeezed juice to revitalize your senses.
All Coffeeshops will have a counter area where the dealer will be. Usually it's set off from any bar or beverage area. Consider the dealer the equivalent of a wine sommelier... in other words ask him or her what's freshest.. or tell him or her what your plans are for the day and the dealer will suggest something appropriate. There are two basic strains of pot: sativa and indica... both are clearly marked on the Coffeeshop menus. In general, sativa strains will be more of a "up" high and indica strains will be a "heavier" high.
What about hash? Well, technically hash is the rolled or condensed pollen that gets collected during the growing process. Keep in mind that eating hash is a great way to consume without smoking, it just takes a little bit longer to kick in.... and you'll want to keep your dosage small until you know what effect the stuff has on you.
One more thing about marijuana products: beware of the "Space Cake"... they can be suprisingly strong despite being small. Eat them in small bites and see what the effect will be before consuming more.
Much like the Coffeeshops, the Smartshops will have someone who can answer your questions about the psychedelia products they sell. Ask questions! That's why they're there.
I can't claim a lot of experience with the Smartshops... but some of my favorite Coffeeshops in Amsterdam are:
There's a few internet websites that provide great resource on the topic of Coffeeshops... some with maps, directions, reviews, etc.
Here's one that's pretty cool.
Here's another.

'Secret house' may have to be demolished
Posted: November 21, 2012|
THE owner of a 'secret house' in Cam is fighting planning officers who want to tear the building down.
Gary Winchle has appealed against Stroud District Council's decision to demolish the shed which has a fully-furnished bedroom, lounge and tiled shower room.
He says, in his appeal, he accepts part of the building off Dursley Road, Woodfield, was used as a home and has removed fixtures and fittings.
He has applied for permission to remove the bathroom and kitchen and keep the building as an equipment store and for plant preparation.
The habitability of the shed was discovered by officers during surprise raid in August.
The council says the building is outside the settlement boundary and its authorised use is only for a garden centre. Mr Winchle declined to comment.

- BlackBerry 10 smartphone
- Outlook Web Access
- Outlook Web App
- Microsoft Exchange 2007
- Microsoft Exchange 2010
BlackBerry 10 ActiveSync client logs are a sufficient means of diagnosing most communications related issues from a support perspective.
Logging Microsoft Exchange server side calls related to Microsoft ActiveSync clients are equally important and very easily obtainable via Outlook Web Access, or Outlook Web App (OWA). This feature is available for Microsoft Exchange 2007 and 2010.
Logging directly into the Microsoft Exchange Control Panel (ECP) is another way to initiate logging for Microsoft Exchange 2010 only.
Method 1: Exchange Control Panel console
- Log onto Exchange Control Panel via https://servername/ecp with the appropriate user account, where servername is the Client Access Server pool name.
- On the Options screen on the left hand side, select Phone
- Select the ActiveSync mobile client requiring monitoring, click the Start Logging radio button.
- Use the BlackBerry 10 smartphone until troubleshooting is complete.
- Stop logging in the Exchange Control Panel client (retrieve log). The ActiveSync server side logs for the mobile device in question will be posted to the Inbox as an attachment.
Method 2: OWA console
- Log into Outlook Web App via https://servername/owa with the appropriate user account.
- On the upper right hand corner below the username, select Options.
- Click See All Options.
- On the Options screen on the left hand side, select Phone.
- Select the ActiveSync mobile client requiring monitoring, and click the Start Logging radio button.
- Use the BlackBerry 10 smartphone until troubleshooting is complete.
- Stop logging in theOutlook Web App client (retrieve log). The ActiveSync server side logs for the mobile device in question will be posted to the Inbox as an attachment.
Method 3: IIS logs from Exchange (Default Web Site)
- The default location for logs will be %SystemDrive%\inetpub\logs\LogFiles, if this folder does not exist or contains no log files verify the log location in the IIS Manager.
- Start All Programs \ Administrative Tools \ Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
- For Windows 2003 \ Expand the ServerName, right click on default website, Properties, on the Web Site tab beside Active log format click Properties. Log file directory will point to the log location
- For Windows 2008 or higher \ Click on the ServerName, double click Logging in the right hand side. Directory will show the location of the logs.
- Navigate to %SystemDrive%\inetpub\logs\LogFiles (for example, C:\inetpub\logs\LogFiles) or to the log directory as found above if different from the default.
- Select the W3SVC1 folder.
- The u_ex log files are named in a date format, select the appropriate dated file. For example, u_ex130702 is July 2nd, 2013.
- Extract all logs for the related device by searching and extracting all data for the PIN. If the PIN can be easily obtained, one can also filter by the AD username.
It is important to obtain both BlackBerry 10 smartphone logs as well as the corresponding Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync logs for the same transaction time frame to troubleshoot failures in communication.
Microsoft Activesync logging runs until it is stopped up to a maximum of 72 hours. After 72 hours, the logging needs to be stopped and restarted again to continue logging.

Roger Villere's comments prove out the Repukes are merely "me-too" twins of the Democraps. Villere and Teepel are truly bad parodies of characters in the book 1984.
Given that Grace would be the pictured personality by the word "stupid" in the dictionary, naive would be an understatement. Of course, given Grace is a lickspittle for politicians, you might seek out other words in the dictionary. Bootlick, apologist, a**kisser and my favorite, the russian word guvnoed, quickly come to mind.
Or perhaps there are those of us who believe the Constitution is not a piece of toilet paper.
Why not "approve it" as if the vote meant anything. Simply proves once more that government CAN screw you, simply because it can.
And one might notice the author of this offensive (yes, even by Louisiana standards) legisltion is a clown who voted AGAINST investigating Win-or-Lose and the ripoff of mineral royalties. But what the hey, what good is it to be a member of the kleptocracy and not take care of your own???
Face up to facts - Newll Norman would have made a good director of a Soviet prison camp.
And frankly, anyone suing Norman is wasting his time, after all, scum like Norman have an unqualified right to do anything they want to civilians.
Unfortunately the measure is in reality nothing more than a way to soothe the sentiments of the proles who are being extorted by the city through the revenue raising device of traffic tickets, and worse confers legitimacy in the minds of the proles as to the racket, since thre is the "appearance" of an appeal process.
Don't you fret, Lilith, Louisiana law is quite clear (Art 12, sec 10 LSA_Const) that state & local governments can injure you with little regard for compensation. The only "bankruptcy" you'll ever see is when politicians run a local government into the ground & have no relief from corporate creditors.
Notice as always individuals go out and do the dirty work and as always, a government swoops in and steals the product!
Odd that no one recalls it was good old Governor Foster who started the mess, particularly with the sugar cane to train nonsense. But then Foster was one of "good" guys, right?
All in all, just protests by one set of gangsters against another set. Meanwhile, the public get screwed by both.
You ought to read Will Grigg detailing the nationwide epidemic of state security forces versus ordinary citizens, it is an eye opener.
Those who believe in the state are getting what they deserve - good and hard.

Apparently you get your reading of the law from ignorant Times Pic sources, since the Louisiana Legislature has said so otherwise.
It's written in a lawbook, apparently in an attempt to hide the law from people, see La. R.S. 3:266(14).
No need to "tell" you - all someone has to do is point to the facts, nolalolu, and what don't you understand about Tweedledum and Tweedledee? The boot on your neck feels the same, regardless the identity of your favorite fascist whose foot sports same.
I find interesting that statists tend to read out of the Tenth Amendment the portion that reserves rights to individuals, as statists always default to state control over individual freedom.
Notice how Feinstein, for example, quickly invokes the favor of state security forces for legislation. Rather troubling from someone who favors nastiness such as depriving one of a passport for possibly owing taxes - a parallel comes to mind but the politically challenged may dislike the applicable title.
A government thug responding to citizen complaints? LOL, who do you think you are, taxslave? Now get back to work!
This guy is simply a psychopath statist - much like that you see in charge of governments throughout time. Why this lone psycho scares the booboisie, but the elected psychopath doesn't, gives us a clue why the 20th century "was" and from the looks of it, the 21st century "will be."
True, Obama has to interject the US into every conflict imaginable and dream up even more to sustain his beloved welfare/warfare state, just like his tagteam buddy Bush before him, and Clinton before him, and Bush before him...
maybe even you will see a pattern here, right, cuz??
If by "fine" you mean being an indentured servant to the Federale thugs for generations without end?
News flash, Yates, both repukes and democraps have taken away your civil liberties..
So, when does the Corps start taking out the mainline river levees, hmmm?
Of course what makes it worse is the near criminal relationship between the Corps & local governments which have independent duties to maintain levees. Turning a blind eye to problems & you get Katrina type results. So - will mitigation prove nothing more than another "friends & family plan" tapping into federal funds??

Mathieu was very welcoming and helpful when we first arrived. It's a very small B&B. There is breakfast, though it's just pre-packaged snacks and drinks (a good start, but we supplemented with our own food, too). It's located very close to the train station, which is nice, but it's also on a rather busy road, so the traffic noise at night was pretty noticeable. Wifi worked fine.

If I have understood wormhole generation at the Large Hadron Collider correctly, (9 February, p 33) we should not be holding our breath waiting for silver-suited visitors from the future in 2008.
Imagine this, if you will: in 2008, the LHC goes online. By 2010, sifting through particle debris shows that wormholes are being generated. In maybe 2018, dark energy is "discovered" and produced artificially in a lab.
On 1 January 2050, scientists at the LHC create a wormhole and hold it in place using a stabilising field, conveniently invented the year before, while they enlarge it with a "dark energy generator".
After three months of pumping the wormhole full of dark energy, it is now large enough for a human to use it to travel through time. On 1 April 2050, scientists announce to the world that they now have the power to travel back in time - ...

The wine in Spain is no longer mainly plain
Advances in grapes, vineyards have raised the country's game
Fifteen years ago, Spain wineries had not significantly invested in the vineyards and winemaking processes to go beyond their Old World styles. Very few wineries were looking to the future. But in 1996, restrictions on irrigation were lifted, and the quality began to skyrocket. Now you see the results of the major investments and improvements in the production of fine wine. There are more exacting vineyard protocols, harvest procedures, fine oak barrels and contemporary packaging. The consistent overall quality of the today's Spanish wine offerings is convincingly demonstrated with the exciting, well-priced selections we have in our local restaurants and wine shops.
Through the Rioja and Ribera del Duero wine regions, Tempranillo is the king of the red wine grape. The vast majority of the red wines are made using Tempranillo, either as the sole varietal or as a high percentage of a blended wine. For the blended wines, The Tempranillo generally makes up to 70 percent to 90 percent of the Cuvée. For the remainder of their blends, winemakers may add varying amounts of Granacha (widely grown, robust), Mazuelo (for balance) and Graciano (low yield, high quality). In Priorat Region, Granacha rules the varietals.
Some insist Tempranillo is "cousin" to Pinot Noir, but I don't see much resemblance. One of the winemakers we visited said DNA evidence has proved the Pinot Noir theory wrong. To me, Tempranillo feels and tastes more like merlot, with dark chocolate, cherry and deep red fruit nuances that are very appealing. The textures are typically silken, without a great deal of harsh tannins. The wineries are getting good fruit extraction from the grapes and use French and American oak to round out the flavor profile. Quite yummy, we all agreed!
The white wines don't seem to get the same attention from the Spaniards as do the red, but I really did enjoy a number of them. Wine produced from the Verdejo grape before 2000 used to have an oxidized trait. This has now been replaced with a fresher, lighter style. The Albariño is aromatic, with high levels of acidity and low alcohol levels. Garnacha Blanc (white Grenache) is made with high alcohol and fruit levels, sometimes seeing oak aging. A wonderful everyday drinker is Viura (Mabaceo), which is an excellent stand-alone varietal but is also used with Xarel-lo and Parellada to make their sparkling Cava.
I had a number of great meals in every city I visited. With more tourists visiting Spain, many restaurants have raised the bar in the quest for culinary excellence. Tapas are the big trend, but it turns out I am not a big fan of tapas. In general. I find many to have a lot of bread and fatty meats, which don't suit my dietary or culinary sensibilities.
However, the best meal I had was at a tapas bar in San Sebastian called Bar Zeruko. In fact, I had two meals at Bar Zeruko, one with each of the groups we took on the wine tour. Sitting down with eight people, we could see it was going to be challenging to get the food we wanted, as we would have to battle the thundering herd standing around the food bar jockeying to place orders.

Rachel Corrie trial in Israel continues
Doris Norrito
WMNF Drive-Time News Monday | Listen to this entire show:
Peace activist Rachel Corrie was crushed to death seven years ago by a bulldozer while defending a Palestinian home in Gaza. A long delayed investigation trial is currently underway in Israel.
The parents and sister of Rachel Corrie filed a civil lawsuit against the state of Israel and against Caterpillar for the unlawful killing of Rachel. The twenty-three year old activist was crushed to death by an Israeli driven Caterpillar D9R bulldozer. In October, about 80 people listened to the Corrie family talk about the trial. They were at the Alternative Information Center in Beit Sahour, a suburb of Bethlehem. This is Rachel's father, Craig Corrie;
"What we're saying '...' Caterpillar is not that they sold a bulldozer and subsequently was used to kill our daughter but that they continue to sell bulldozers, time after time, and that they knew that the bulldozers were being used for human rights violations and they continue to sell them even knowing that and then was used to kill our daughter. And my thought was that if you could show this in court we have US laws that would back this sort of thing up. If somebody brings up, 'well, how are our bulldozers being used?' Instead of saying 'well, that's not our business' they would have to say 'yes, it is our business', we need to know that."
Cindy Corrie, Rachel's mother, said that other activists said her daughter had lost her balance; she fell backward and the bulldozer ran over her, backed up and ran over her again. Former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon had promised then President George W. Bush, a thorough and transparent investigation. It did not happen. Questions remained and the family hopes that the trial that began last March will shed light on what actually happened.
"The position of Rachel's body has been somewhat in question. At first the State of Israel said that she was not touched by the bulldozer and that she was not run over by the bulldozer. That's still an element of the discussion in the trial that we're having, but there's photographic evidence and the testimony of all the witnesses that, in fact, it went over and then backed over her again."
In the context of the trial, Rachelâs mother said that the reason her daughter chose to go to Gaza goes beyond courtroom litigation.
"It was really 9/11 in the United States that kind of awakened her to what was happening here and she '...' young American people but all of us, 9/11 was traumatic and she immediately went to 'why is this going on?' 'why did this happen' and in her search for some answers, she was in college at the time at the Evergreen State College in Olympia and her search led her to the Israeli-Palestinian situation as being, at least a factor."
Cindy Corrie said she believes operational investigations are intended to help the military learn from what happens. She thinks they ignore human rights and the good activists do.
"During the weakest report called '...' of responsibility' by '...' that's just come out talking about these very issues, and also Human Rights Watch has an earlier report called 'Promoting Impunity' and it's about the system of operational investigations and military police investigations and how they intersect, I believe, to really keep the institution of the military from having to assume responsibility."
The court system in Israeli differs from that in the US; and for Sarah, Rachelâs sister, it was both disturbing and insightful. During trial sessions, there were few breaks. And they were told that for security reasons, with few exceptions, the soldiers involved would testify behind screens. The trial was also conducted entirely in Hebrew, which added to stress.
" In the right circumstances I would like to be able to sit in a room and look across the table at the soldiers' eyes and be able to hear from him exactly what he experienced up there and what he saw. And coming to the trial in March, that was why I came, was to be able to hear that . '...' Now, with such short notice, we're having to accept the fact that we won't have the opportunity to do that."
Cindy Corrie said they had agreed to an autopsy and found out it was not conducted according to conditions they had agreed to.
"We subsequently learned a long time after, and had confirmed in the court, is that the doctor violated an Israeli court order, there was no US consular present at the autopsy. And he knowingly violated that court order, but also the military police went to the court and promised that they would make sure that the conditions were met. So the investigator of the state has the responsibility. They also did not take their responsibility very seriously."
Cindy Corrie said that this trial is much bigger than Rachelâs case. Every day there are assaults by Israeli militia on demonstrators in the Israeli occupied Palestinian territories of Gaza and the West Bank as well as in Jerusalem.
"To draw attention to the continuing assault on non-violent protestors, Palestinian, international, Israeli's who are being violently assaulted at protests, but also assaulted through the system. I'm speaking right now of Abdullah ah '..', who is in prison for his activities, and there are others. But I also think, as we do this, I think about '..' "
The family says worldwide support sustains them.The next court dates are set for December 22 and 23rd. For updates and more information, go to WMNF.org/news.comments powered by Disqus
CommentsMay Rachel someday R.I.P.
This is a story and legacy that must not die. Thank you for staying with this story and for posting it on the WMNF News Blog. How can we grow the WMNF News Blog? There's no reason why the WMNF News Blog shouldn't be a bigger player in the news blogosphere. What do you think?
Sue caterpillar????
That speaks volumes. Caterpillare has no culpability.
Here's your sign...
Sure they are⦠theyâre just as culpable as McDonaldâs was in the âhot coffeeâ case. I fully expect to see all bulldozers sporting a new 4â x 8â warning label on their blades saying⦠âDANGER⦠may cause extreme bodily damage if you stand in front of this thing while itâs moving⦠MOVE!!!â Thatâs why we put âNo Divingâ signs on the Skyway Bridge. How are people supposed to know what is or isnât dangerous without a sign, label or tag??? What⦠theyâre just supposed to⦠know it???

Sumallyby: Josh Spear
Sumally has been described as the Pinterest of Japan. I don't actually agree, because they've done a remarkably good job separating items into Wants and Haves. A secretly powerful tool to turn commerce on shortly.
After using it for a few days, it seems it's the place where the most influential Japanese designers, cultural icons and locals are sharing objects of fascination in their life. The caliber of curation happening here is pretty high. Check it out, I'll be watching this one.
Path x Nike Fuelbandby: Josh Spear
I invested in my friend Dave Morin's company Path a few years ago, and I'm thrilled to watch it progress– especially around sophisticated brand integration. This Path x Nike Fuelband partnership is perfect.
Path users can now pair up their account with the Nike Fuelband and share their personal fitness tracking, goals, and so on with the people that matter most to them.

Swap-O-Maticby: Josh Spear
This brilliant experiment was created by Parsons School of Design student Lina Fenequito.
The Swap-O-Matic vending machine is designed for user to give, take, or swap anything that fits inside the compartments. People have traded items like original art, poems, clothing, metro cards, etc
The Swap-O-Matic recognizes that there is a thrill in getting things. The vending machine satisfies our desires for instant gratification, but it co-ops it and re-appropriates it to something that is a more sustainable method of acquisition, which is through swapping and trading," said Fenequito…
To use the machine, one simply has to enter their e-mail address on the screen and choose whether they would like to donate, receive, or swap an item. Since none of the items in the machine is assigned a value, all item transactions work on a credit system. As a new user, you're given three credits to begin with. A credit is earned each time you donate an item and it costs one credit to receive something. Swapping an item in the machine for something that you've brought doesn't require any credits.
Feels totally in the zeitgeist right now and sparks some very powerful and interesting conversation about sharing and consumerism. Via BB
GoDaddy Debacleby: Josh Spear
Image via Soshable
I have mostly been watching the SOPA news from the sidelines the past few weeks– at least until the supporter list came out.
Not so surprisingly, GoDaddy was on there, and the internet went into an uproar. Next stop seemed like a complete domain name exodus. Grab your pitchfork.
Truthfully, I've wanted to bail since I watched the CEO slaughter and kill an elephant. Not long after that, there was another debacle. A billing error on my account caused me to loose a domain name (which I previously acquired for $1,000). It didn't auto-renew, yet somehow everything else does (even when I try to turn off auto-renew).
And then, like a movie, of course they pulled their support of the bill, which is odd because they helped write it in the first place:
GoDaddy not only helped write #SOPA they are also exempt from it.
So they're not for it, and they're not against it. Perfect. I'm not one to get into the backstory much further. I had heard enough and I wanted to bail.
This was all a real bummer for me because I've done a lot of business with GoDaddy– so much so I have an inside guy there that helps me out with transfers and changes. But between slaughtering elephants, SOPA, and annoying Super Bowl commercials with boobed out models it seemed like it was time to take my business elsewhere.
It was actually a tweet from Ben Huh of icanhascheezburger that pushed me over the edge. I love those damn cats, what can I say.
And that's when the epic journey began.
I found this handy-dandy step by step guide to transfer domains out of GoDaddy.
NameCheap looked and felt like a fine place to land my domains. They had a pretty strong stance against SOPA and GoDaddy. I found a code (SOPASucks) that would give me a little bit of a break on the transfer costs. They didn't accept .be domains, so I used name.com for that.
I headed over to GoDaddy, unlocked all of my domains, batch downloaded the authorization codes and plopped them into the Namecheap.com transfer spot.
I thought that was it, but then I started getting bizarre messages from GoDaddy, like:
Dear Josh Spear,The transfer of JOSHSPEAR.COM from Go Daddy to another registrar could not be completed for the following reason(s):
Express written objection to the transfer from the Transfer Contact. (e.g. – email, fax, paper document or other processes by which the Transfer Contact has expressly and voluntarily objected through opt-in means).
The express written objection may be the result of a pending or recently completed Change of Registered Name Holder. This is an opt-in process during which the new Registered Name Holder agrees not to transfer for 60-days. This domain will be transferrable on 2/24/2012.
Perplexing. All of my other domain names came back with that response or something like that as well. I had read somewhere that if my WHOIS information wasn't correct, I should update it. Turned out to be a terrible idea. I did update it, and changed the email– because the last time I registered a majority of those domains, the email was wrong. I also added a little more information to be sure I could be contacted if there was any problem.
It turns out had I not changed my WHOIS information I would not have received the email for the New Registration Agreement– an email they send to the WHOIS administrator and only the administrator. And because I changed it, I did receive the email, but it was already too late.
I'm not a huge fan of leaving dozens of domain names 'unlocked' for long periods of time crossing my fingers all would work out.
I pinged NameCheap and chatted with a nice enough tech support person in their online chat for a few hours.
I made sure all my domain names had the privacy feature turned off. (I've since sent Domains By Proxy my companies EIN and a copy of my passport to get my login, because I didn't remember my login, and the 'forgot login' box sends an email to a whois email that no longer exists. Vicious cycle.)
NameCheap refunded me and said try again. Oh, did I try again.
And then another alert came. My domain names were locked by GoDaddy for 60 days because of the Whois information change. Despite being told to make sure the info there was up to date!
I have zero pending transfers and I've now paid NameCheap, been refunded, and paid again.
As far as I can tell, the locking of domain names was part of the GoDaddy T&C's I agreed to– not an ICANN rule. A call with a GoDaddy person confirms that. And even more peculiar is that apparently it was okay for me to change the contact email, but not anything else. And yes, I updated all the information. Whoops.
The saga continues. They sure do make freedom of choice hard.
Cowbirdby: Josh Spear
My friend Jonathan Harris never ceases to amaze me. He's one of the most thoughtful and talented people in the world. His latest project Cowbird has an audacious goal- in his word, to become the public library of human experience, kind of like a Wikipedia for real life (but much more beautiful).
How are they going to get there? They're pioneering a new form of participatory journalism rooted in simple human stories.
The site is organized into Sagas, Stories and Diaries, and the slogan says it best: To be a witness to life.
Above is the Saga of Occupy Wall Street, and specifically Jonathan's story about being arrested at Occupy Oakland.
It's easy to submit and organize your own story or saga. They can be in any form of media. On the site now the mix and sheer breadth of documented experiences is fascinating to see.
Within the profile of a user, you can see that a specific person's (in this case Jonathan's) appearances in different sagas, their own stories, and their relationships. It's a little social-network like, but it's what happens in your life that ties you to other people.
The organization is incredible, and I would expect nothing less from Jonathan!

Don't Fear The Interenetby: Josh Spear
Amazing. I wish Don't Fear the Internet was around when I started playing on the web. Consider sending this to everyone you know.
Are you a print designer, photographer, fine-artist, or general creative person? Do you have a shitty website that you slapped together yourself in Dreamweaver in that ONE web design class that you took in college? Do you not have a site at all because you've been waiting two years for your cousin to put it together for you? Well, we're here to help. We know that you have little to no desire to do web design professionally, but that doesn't mean that you want an ugly cookie-cutter site or to settle for one that hasn't been updated since Hackers was in theaters.
Through short tutorial videos, you'll learn how to take a basic wordpress blog and manipulate the css, html (and even some php!) to match your aesthetic. You'll feel empowered rather than crippled by the internet and worst case scenario you'll at least end up having a better idea of how professional web designers turn your design dreams into a reality on screen.

For being an XLTall it wasn't tall. The sleeves and waist aren't any too long. Will have to be careful washing and hope it doesn't shrink. Quality was nice.

By cecrn

This sweater will never fit my husband, this is the smallest 2 x large tall that I have ever seen. I need to return it, but I have sent an email to customer service and have not received a reply. I am wondering if I can return it to the store, instead of via mail. Guess I will have to go the mail route since I haven't heard back from anyone!!

"THE US Navy is preparing to launch an extraordinary assault on our ocean ecosystems," blares a fund-raising letter sent out last year by the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group based in New York city. The weapon, readers learn, is the Navy's newest sonar system for tracking submarines, which the letter says will expose whales "to noise pollution at a level 200 billion times greater than that which is already known to disturb them . . . millions of marine mammals may be harmed over the long-term".
It was meant to sound apocalyptic. The appeal raised such a public outcry that the Navy took the unusual step of submitting its Low Frequency Active sonar system (LFA) to an environmental impact review (This Week, 3 August 1996, p 12), which is still pending. But was the controversy grounded in fact or well-meaning hype?
A little of both. Whales would ...

Phil's past work includes serving as the Fisheries Program Director with the American Oceans Campaign and as the Senior Fisheries Policy Advisor for Oceana. While with the American Oceans Campaign, he partnered with regional fishing groups to protect special marine areas from destructive fishing practices.

Former England captain Kevin Pietersen said that current Australian skipper, Michael Clarke, would be his choice to captain his World XI for Tests. Interestingly, Pietersen also picked India's captain, MS Dhoni, in his side but said that he preferred Clarke donning the role of the captain. Pietersen was speaking at the Express Adda in Delhi on Tuesday night.
Pieteresen singled out the 33-year-old Clarke, for his ability to handle pressure. "He has managed the pressure really well. He struggled in the last Ashes against us but I played against Michael recently and his captaincy was fantastic," he said.
The English team, of which Pietersen was an integral component, lost the Ashes 5-0 and the 33-year-old batsmen was effusive in his praise for the Australian skipper.
"Just the positioning (of the fields), the way he used the bowlers, he was fantastic. They also went to South Africa and beat them there. And the way he captained, it was brilliant," Pietersen said.
Attacking combination
Pietersen picked West Indian destroyer, Chris Gayle, along with Australian southpaw, David Warner, as his two openers in the team. The English batsmen believed that the brand of aggressive and entertaining cricket put out by the two openers, led him to include them in his side. The South African-born former England captain, also included Hashim Amla, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Virat Kohli, Mitchell Johnson, Dale Steyn, Saeed Ajmal and James Anderson in his line-up.
'Star' Kohli
However, it was his choice of captain, that drew the most attention. Over the past three seasons, Pietersen has been part of eight Test matches against India who were led by MS Dhoni, winning six and losing just once. Against Australia and Clarke, Pietersen has been part of 10 Tests in the span of a year, with a 50 percent success record. Interestingly, no English batsmen finds a place in Pietersen's World XI with pacer James Anderson, the only British representative.
Pietersen also had generous praise for Virat Kohli, saying he was a 'star'. Pietersen spent two years as Kohli's teammate at Royal Challengers Bangalore, briefly captaining the Indian batsmen during the second season. "Virat's a star. At the moment, the way he is playing fast bowling and spin, only he can get himself out," he said. Pietersen termed Kohli as 'inquisitive' and a kind of player that you want in your team. "I forged a real good relationship when I was at Bangalore. He wears his heart on his sleeve. He trains bloody hard and enjoys his success," he said.

The agreements aim to prospect for petroleum and gas in the areas of Sinai, Gulf of Suez and the Mediterranean sea.
The first agreement was signed between the General Petroleum Authority and Dana Petroleum, Keltec Petroleum and British Petroleum at investments worth 15 million dollars at minimum, said the minister.
The Minister further said that the second agreement was signed between the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (EGAS) and Italy's IEOC Company.
The last agreement was an amendment to an agreement of the general petroleum company to extend the contract in the Gulf of Suez for 15 years, he added.

Thune: FSA offices should open in western SDSenator says new farm bill needed to assist ranchers who lost livestock in storm.
By: Denise Ross, Forum News Service
WASHINGTON — Dysfunction on Capitol Hill is hitting the high plains of western South Dakota as the lack of a farm bill and the government shutdown are compounding already difficult straits for ranchers who lost cattle in the recent snowstorm, Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., said Wednesday.
Thune has asked Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to declare Farm Service Agency employees in counties hit by the storm as essential so they can go back to work despite the government shutdown.
"As Secretary, you have latitude to exempt USDA employees from the partial shutdown if they are deemed essential to critical government services," Thune wrote in a Tuesday letter. "I request that you exercise this authority to exempt the relevant FSA employees in South Dakota who could return to work today and begin damage assessments in the wake of this storm."
Friday's storm dumped more than 4 feet of snow in some areas, stranding cattle in pastures and knocking out power.
Thune also asked Vilsack to ensure that USDA websites were functioning so that agriculture producers affected by the storm could find information. Late Wednesday afternoon, the main USDA website - www.usda.gov - showed this message: "Due to the lapse in federal government funding, this website is not available. After funding has been restored, please allow some time for this website to become available again."
Thune has placed some information for ranchers on his website, www.thune.senate.gov. He also invites anyone needing information to call his office at 866-850-3855.
"We want to help in any way we can during this difficult time," Thune said. "We have someone in our office who has extensive experience having worked at USDA with these disaster programs."
However, no federal ag programs - in particular the Livestock Indemnity Program - are operating since the farm bill expired at the end of September. Thune said adoption of a new farm bill will be crucial in the long run to providing financial help to ranchers who lost livestock. He asked House Speaker John Boehner to appoint conference committee members so that the Senate and House can work out differences in their farm bills and send legislation to President Obama to sign.
On an interview on KBHB radio Tuesday, Thune said he expects the storm damage will meet the threshold for a federal disaster, which also will provide ranchers with some assistance.
"That will get other forms of assistance out there, but the real answer is the farm bill because that's where the real help is," Thune said.
