I am a self-taught artist born in Mendoza, Argentina, and residing in Miami since 1979. I'm a prolific artist because I am constantly inspired by colors, shapes, moods, memories, people and thoughts. My travels, as well as my background in music, my love of film and my inquisitive mind also serve as inspiration for my painting, an art form that I continue to develop with extreme curiosity. I use varied techniques applied to different styles and systematically refrain from boundaries or rules. Most of my work is a reaction to a jolt of creative urgency rather than a planned design. Like fleeting thoughts, my paintings are the result of temporary states of mind. As new thoughts, images and moods come in, other paintings emerge and join...

Our Score
Review Price free/subscription
Perhaps the one area where AMD/ATI may have been hoping its HD 4870 X2 would still hold its own would be in power consumption, this having been a strong point recently. However, with its move to a 55nm manufacturing process and a bit of tweaking nVidia has even trumped ATI here as well.
Although idle power is much of a muchness, under load the GTX 295 consumes a significant chunk less power than the HD 4870 X2. In isolation this is good but when you consider the performance advantage you get as well the GTX 295 is a very clear winner.
So, the GTX 295 is the fastest graphics card on the planet and it consumes less power than the competition. That would seem like a sure fire ticket to recommendation land then. Well, yes, expect there's price to consider and even with the particular Asus card I'm looking at coming in a little cheaper than most GTX 295s, it still costs a whopping £450, which is quite a staggering amount of money. However, the HD 4870 X2 has actually gone up in price since we reviewed it and when you do a rough price/performance comparison you'll see that, at least in the games we've tested, the GTX 295 averages out at giving you more performance for your money. So out of the two, it's a clear choice of which to go for. That said, we'd still say both are a little too expensive to ever recommend.
nVidia has aimed for the gaming performance crown with the GTX 295 and it has certainly succeeded, though some of its victories have been modest. Most importantly, though, nVidia has also regained the price/performance crown, making this the clear choice of ultra high-end graphics card - assuming you could ever consider spending £450 on a graphics card sensible.

i just sent arai a email. so i will see what happens.
yer what i ment by the smaller hole was the 2. there is only 2 holes in the peak on the xd4. sorry should of been explained more.
that was the 3rd thing that i did was running it without the peak. and the noise was gone once i removed it, i spent about a hour just fiddling with different venting options, adjusting the peak slighty, peak removed, and after locating the postion of the noise i taped up the 2 holes on top of the peak, but the tape was on the underside of the peak not the top where the graphics are.

I'm going to miss Johnny Beisbol
I blame football.
I don't mean that as simply as a seven-night thing. Football has very much supplanted baseball as our "country's sport", and the fact that baseball's great championship takes place just when football is heating up is detrimental. Even if they don't directly overlap. You watch football all day Saturday and Sunday, you don't then take over the TV for a long baseball game.
I'll be curious to see if things change for the weekday games. I'm not holding my breath though. Football appeals more to an increasingly instant-gratification, quickly-moving, physical-contact society, both in the structure of the game itself and in the structure of its final championship.
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
One problem with your theory is they are not starting these games any later than they did back in the 70s. Go to the library and look at a newspaper for October 30 years ago and you will see that they are starting games right around the same time as they always have. In fact, the first 2 games of the World Series started just a hair after 8. If you have a 3 hour game, it will be over at 11. Considering that they have the west coast to consider, I'd say it's a very reasonable starting time. Kids watch Monday night football which doesn't get over till midnight and they watch the NBA finals which starts about 8:30. I realize some kids have to get up earlier than others but if you really feel it's important for them to watch it, why not let them stay up a little later? All of us did that when we were kids.
It would be nice if they schedued a day game on a Saturday or Sunday but that would make the ratings problem worse, not better. Let's face it, football is wildly popular. When I was a kid there may be one or two games on every Saturday. Now there are about 10-15 depending on where you are at. If you're an Ohio St. fan and Game 1 of the Series is on when OSU is playing on TV, what are you going to watch? On Sunday if the Bengals are playing and Game 2 is on at the same time, what's the choice?
This may or may not have anything to do with it but I think people are getting tired of the same talking heads doing the Series. McCarver's so full of crap they should call him Walking Eagle. Joe Buck isn't much better. I don't pretend it's an easy job to call a game but, my God, can't they do better than those two? Ernie Harwell is right there for God's sake. Do they actually believe people tune in to hear those two prattle on all night?
The Rally Onion wants 150 fans before Opening Day.
They (ESPN etc.) plug nothing but the Yankees and Red Sox all year.
Its not really a world series without one of them in it.
I saw more promotion for an early series between the SOX and Yanks than I do for the World Series.
So I WATCH the game, but the sound is usually muted.
They ought to try broadcasting the game with two different sets of announcers on different channels. I would bet (heavily) that the one w/o McCarver would have higher ratings....
A healthy Reds team is a strong Reds team"
Perhaps those are big baseball fanbases BECAUSE of the way the get marketed to -- chicken/egg etc. -- but I do think there may be something to that. Turn it over to college football; all you see is Michigan and Ohio State and Notre Dame. If they all failed to make the major championship*, college football might take a dive as well.
(*I have absolutely no idea what I'm talking about in the way of "major college championships". I'm sure it has to do with something ending in the word -bowl. But I do know that I can name the big ten schools and that zero of them come from New York or Boston, or even outside of the Midwest for that matter. And I make a conscious effort to ignore football. I can name the big ten purely by osmosis, the same way that somebody who doesn't know baseball might name the Yankees and Red Sox first.)
There is no such thing as a pitching prospect.
I said in the original thread that I blame ESPN/FOX for it's promotion of Boston/New York.
It's hard for average fans to find a hatred for a certain team or a passion for another one when they don't hear or see about them often. Who really hates the Cardinals or the Tigers enough to care about this game? Who really loves them?
This is the time. The real Reds organization is back.
MLB simply needs to accept the fact that have become a more universal form of hockey-- a core, die-hard fanbase (especially in select cities) that will keep the game alive and well, but will never reach the masses as it once did.
Baseball is now a "pocket" sport. Pockets of MAJOR interest here and there, but on the whole, the country doesn't care too much. I live in Oklahoma and MLB is CLEARLY fifth behind (in order) college football, NFL, college basketball, and the NBA. People here would clearly rather watch game 2 of Mavericks-Heat in the Finals, than they would game 2 of Tigers-Cardinals in the WS.
I'm not arguing right or wrong here, just stating fact. I believe MLB should worry more about appeasing the die-hards that keep it alive, and less about the people who really don't care.
I'd say every sport outside of the NFL is a "pocket" sport. People don't particularly care about college football in the northeast. BC joined the ACC and it's still only a small segment of folks within the BC community who care about the BC football team. Most of Boston pays it no attention. College football is even less popular in New York and Philly. College basketball team draws more interest in Boston (though I'm guessing most Boston area fans would prefer BC play teams like Syracuse, UConn and Georgetown instead of Duke, UNC and Wake -- all great programs, but they don't inspire much in the way of passion up here).
NBA interest in Boston has been on life support for years. The Celtics don't fill up their building, something that was unthinkable 20 years ago. The Bruins draw better and, I believe, have higher local TV ratings too.
Baseball rules the roost up here. I'd say it does in NYC too. Ask fans down there what one championship they'd like to see a local team win and I'm guessing the majority would say the World Series. Philly and D.C. are pro football towns. Go down to North Carolina and you're in college basketball country. My guess is that if folks in Ohio had to pick one thing, college football would be the winner there. And what do folks in Atlanta like? It's an awful city in terms of pro sports attendance. Georgia and Georgia Tech rarely produced conference champions in either basketball or football let alone national champs. If I had to guess, I'd say Atlanta's probably a NASCAR town, though that would just be a guess on my part.
It's a busy world and "the masses" are hardly a unified mass. I think as long as baseball does a few sensible things like speed the pace of playoff games and make sure the first pitch gets thrown by 7:30 eastern time (maybe even 7:15) then it should be in decent shape.

College football town.I'd say Atlanta's probably a NASCAR town, though that would just be a guess on my part.
If baseball is a pocket sport how come they have 2 teams that are in LA pulling in 7.1 million and there is no football team there?
NASCAR was born in Dawsonville, GA and I'd hazard a guess that it's got a larger fan base in Atlanta than college football.
L.A.'s definitely a baseball town. San Francisco is the one that interests me, though. It's always been a football town, but the 49ers have been awful for a while and the Giants play in a really cool downtown park. If the Giants can ever get over the top and win a few championships I think they could change the city's sporting DNA. You'd know better, you've lived there, but whenever I'm in town I see a lot of Giants caps and jerseys, can't recall seeing someone billboarding for the Niners in the city proper.Originally Posted by westofyou
Raisel Ghul, the Demon's Head
Make that a thing.
From my experience the fall is a different beast in Atlanta, since it's the hub of the south there is a zillion folks from every college in dixie with little flags on their cars declaring their allegience, I've heard sports talk radio in March about Georgia football instead of the Braves who were in the midst of ST. It's the type of place that televises spring practices.Does everyone stop what they're doing to watch the games each week?
As for the Bay Area they like the teams that win, pretty simple. So many fans there and so many teams to grab them, including the whole Cal/Stanford college teams. The Giants have never won it all in San Francisco, if they do it will be bigger then when and if again the A's won it, they won the northern part of the state earlier and that's the base that makes them the team in the area, same thing for the Niners who won the region in the 50's, mostly because they predated the Giants arrival, not because the NFL was a better product then MLB. The Niners gave the region pro sports cred when MLB wouldn't.
Actually, NASCAR was born in Daytona Beach, FL.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NascarOn December 14, 1947 France began talks with other influential racers and promoters at the Ebony Bar at the Streamline Hotel at Daytona Beach, Florida that ended with the formation of NASCAR on February 21, 1948.
NASCAR was founded by France on February 21, 1948 with the help of several other drivers at the time. The points system was written on a barroom napkin. The sanctioning body hosted their first event at the Daytona beach on February 15, 1948.
Bill Elliot (who some would argue IS NASCAR) was born in Dawsonville, thus his nickname, Awesome Bill from Dawsonville.
I agree, the ATL is a college football town, but not just UGa or Tech. Lots of Tennessee, Bama, USC expats. Braves are a fairly close second.

If you want to calculate a time difference in Excel, it is important that you understand that Excel stores dates as integers and times as decimal values (see the page on Excel dates for more details). It is only the formatting of an Excel spreadsheet that causes these values to be displayed as dates and times, rather than as simple numbers.
Therefore, when you want to calculate the time difference between two dates and times in Excel, you can simply subtract these values in the same way as you would subtract any other numerical values in Excel.
When users have problems with Excel date and time difference calculations, these problems are commonly due to incorrect formatting of the results, rather than incorrect calculations. Therefore, in the examples below, we also discuss the cell formatting that you may require, to correctly display the result of your time difference calculation.
Cell B3 of the following spreadsheet shows a simple example of how to calculate a time difference in Excel. The calculation simply subtracts the time in cell B1 from the time in cell B2.
To Format a Cell as a Time:
In the example above, the time in cell B1 is internally represented by the number, 0.156597222 and the time in cell B2 is internally represented by the number 0.428993056. Subtracting these two numbers gives the result 0.272395833, which, when formatted with the time format, is the time 06:32:15 (i.e. 6 hours 32 minutes and 15 seconds).
The following spreadsheet shows a simple subtraction of two dates and times.
Setting Cells to Have the [h]:mm Format:
In the example above, the date and time in cell B1 is internally represented by the number, 40562.875 and the date and time in cell B2 is internally represented by the number 40564.625. Subtracting these two numbers gives the result 1.75 which is Excel's internal representation for 42 hours 0 minutes.
Note that cell B3 of the above results spreadsheet has the cell formatting [h]:mm.
The square brackets in the [h]:mm format definition tell Excel to display the total number of hours, even if this is greater than 24. If the square brackets were not included, Excel would break down the result into a date plus the remaining number of hours.

El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer)
El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer (The Mysterious Voyage of Homer)
Really getting into this GIF thing you guys.
This week on The Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin Show my guests are Jason Narvy and Paul Schrier, perhaps best known for their roles as Bulk and Skull on Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers. Both have appeared in several hundred episodes of Power Rangers, making them by far the iconic show's longest running characters.
In this episode we discuss being on one of the planet's most popular TV shows when you're 18-years-old, the classical origins of Bulk and Skull's slapstick, and what they're up to now. Here's some quotes from the episode -
"I think the second season in some ways was the most flattering and exciting because we were like, 'Oh, we have a super objective!' Well we had a super objective but, going back to Stanislovsky, you can't play just a super objective. You need smaller objectives in a scene so you can attempt to achieve that objective, and either succeed or fail."
- Jason Narvy (Skull)
"Just because you are 25 or 30 doesn't mean your dreams are out of reach. Don't let anyone tell you you can't do what you want to do."
- Paul Schreir (Bulk)
It's a good one.
As always the show is available at iTunes, YouTube, and JeffRubinJeffRubinShow.com.
Pete Holmes as Batman in Batman vs. The Penguin
One of the best parts of one of the best movies.
"I saw Al as the future of comedy. It wasn't just, 'Here's an interesting act that could sell a few records."
– Jay Levey, Weird Al's manager, on discovering Al
This week on The Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin Show, my guest is Jay Levey, Weird Al's manager for over 30 years. In addition to managing one of the most unique and successful artists in pop music history Jay, atypically for a manager, collaborated with his client creatively. He has directed many of Al's music videos including Eat It and cowrote/directed the stone-cold classic UHF.
To say that Weird Al and by extension Jay are responsible for just me getting into comedy would probably undersell the influence they've had on my life. I had so much fun recording this episode, and I think anyone who has ever been into Weird Al (everyone reading this blog?) will enjoy it too. At the risk of hyperbole if you only ever listen to one Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin Show, it should be this one. You can get it at iTunes, YouTube, and JeffRubinJeffRubinShow.com.Next episode - I take off the first week of any month, but will return on October 9th with Justin Wong, one of the greatest fighting game players of all-time.
ACTUAL FACT - In the White & Nerdy video, Key and Peele play the two guys horrified by Weird Al's white and nerdiness.
Talking Heads' concert movie Stop Making Sense doesn't show the audience until Crosseyed and Painless, the very last song. Here are GIFs of every crowd shot in the film. For the full effect, play Crosseyed and Painless in the background.
Wikipedia: "According to David Byrne's comments on the DVD commentary, this is intended to enable the viewer to form their own opinion about the performance, which he hoped would be confirmed by the end sequence."
Pit Pat, a magical pansexual nonthreatening spokesthing!
A clip from next week's Bleep Bloop (really).
This week on The Jeff Rubin Jeff Rubin Show - "Does Monopoly Suck?" Helping us get to the bottom of this very important question is NYU GameCenter faculty member Jesse Fuchs. We discuss the history of Monopoly, house rules that improve the game, and if Catan might ever be more popular.

Only two bathrooms wich werent very clean. Nice location. Will not come back.

From the Publisher:
Merging the traditions of the classic Balkan Ghosts and the bestselling Places in Between and Beirut to Jerusalem, one journalist's journey reveals the many Muslim worlds An Oxford-educated scholar of the Middle East and former foreign correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, Hugh Pope lived and worked in two dozen countries throughout the region. Following in the footsteps of Sir Richard Burton and Lawrence of Arabia, Hugh Pope's explorations of the people, politics, religion, and culture of Islamic nations shows there is no such thing as a monolithic ?Muslim World.? His probing and often perilous journeys-at one point he is forced to quote Koranic verse to argue against his being murdered by a top al- Qaeda leader-provide an eye-opening look at diverse societies often misportrayed by superficial reporting and ?why they hate us? politics. With U.S. foreign policy under Obama aiming to more constructively engage with Muslim nations, this lyrical and often poetic voyage is one of the truly important books of our times.

The Origin of the Palestine-Israel Conflict General Considerations
Israel has sought peace with its Arab neighbor states but has steadfastly refused to negotiate with Palestinians directly, until the last few years. Why?
"My friend, take care. When you recognize the concept of 'Palestine', you demolish your right to live in Ein Hahoresh. If this is Palestine and not the Land of Israel, then you are conquerors and not tillers of the land. You are invaders. If this is Palestine, then it belongs to a people who have lived here before you came. Only if it is the Land of Israel do you have a right to live in Ein Hahoresh and in Deganiyah B. If it is not your country, your fatherland, the country of your ancestors and of your sons, then what are you doing here? You came to another people's homeland, as they claim, you expelled them and you have taken their land." Menahem Begin, quoted in Noam Chomsky's "Peace in the Middle East?"
More from the horse's mouth
"Why should the Arabs make peace? If I was an Arab leader, I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, God promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? Our God is not theirs, We come from Israel, it's true, but two thousand years ago, and what is that to them? There has been anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we came here and stole their country. Why should they accept that?" David Ben-Gurion, quoted in "The Jewish Paradox" by Nathan Goldman, former president of the World Jewish Congress.
More from the horse's mouth
"Before [the Palestinians] very eyes we are possessing the land and the villages where they, and their ancestors, have lived...We are the generation of colonizers, and without the steel helmet and the gun barrel we cannot plant a tree and build a home." Israeli leader Moshe Dayan, quoted in Benjamin Beit-Hallahmi, "Original Sins: Reflections on the History of Zionism and Israel"
More from the horse's mouth
"The Arabs will be our problem for a long time," Weizmann said, "It's not going to be simple. One day they may have to leave and let us have the country. They're ten to one, but don't we Jews have ten times their intelligence?" Zionist leader Chaim Weizmann in 1919 at the Paris peace conference, quoted in Ella Winter, "And Not To Yield."
The international consensus on Israel (a very small representative sampling)
"[In the early 1950s] Arab states regularly complained of the reprisals to the UN Security Council, which routinely rejected Israel's claims of self-defense...
"In June 1982 Israel again invaded Lebanon, and it used aerial bombardment to destroy entire camps of Palestinian Arab refugees, By these means Israel killed 20,000 persons, mostly civilians...Israel claimed self-defense for its invasion, but the lack of PLO attacks into Israel during the previous year made that claim dubious...The [UN] Security Council demanded 'that Israel withdraw all its military forces forthwith and unconditionally to the internationally recognized boundaries of Lebanon'...
"The UN Human Rights Commission, using the Geneva Convention's provision that certain violations of humanitarian law are 'grave breaches' meriting criminal punishment for perpetrators, found a number of Israel's practices during the uprising [the intifada] to constitute 'war crimes.' It included physical and psychological torture of Palestinian detainees and their subjection to improper and inhuman treatment; the imposition of collective punishment on towns, villages and camps; the administrative detention of thousands of Palestinians; the expulsion of Palestinian citizens; the confiscation of Palestinian property; and the raiding and demolition of Palestinian houses." John Quigley, "Palestine and Israel: A Challenge to Justice."
From the 1970s until the 1999 Israeli High Court decision forbidding torture during interrogation (theoretically), hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were subjected to inhuman treatment in Israeli prisons.
"Israel's two main interrogation agencies in the occupied territories engage in a systematic pattern of ill-treatment and torture—according to internationally recognized definitions of the terms...The methods used in nearly all interrogations are prolonged sleep deprivation; prolonged sight deprivation using blindfolds or tight-fitting hoods; forced, prolonged maintenance of body positions that grow increasingly painful; and verbal threats and insults.
"These methods are almost always combined with some of the following abuses; confinement in tiny, closet-like spaces; exposure to temperature extremes, such as deliberately overcooled rooms, prolonged toilet and hygiene deprivation; and degrading treatment...Beatings are far more routine in IDF interrogations than in GSS interrogations. Sixteen of the nineteen detainees we interviewed [detained between 1992 and 1994] reported having been assaulted in the interrogation room. Beatings and kicks were directed at the throat, testicles, and stomach. Some were repeatedly choked; some had their heads slammed against the walls...
"Israeli interrogations consistently use methods in combination with one another, over long periods of time. Thus, a detainee in the custody of the General Security Service (GSS) may spend weeks during which, except for brief respites, he shuttles from a tiny chair to which he is painfully shackled; to a stifling, tiny cubicle in which he can barely move; to questioning sessions in which he is beaten or violently manhandled; and then back to the chair.
"The intensive, sustained and combined use of these methods inflicts the severe mental or physical suffering that is central to internationally accepted definitions of torture. Israel's political leadership cannot claim ignorance that ill-treatment is the norm in interrogation centers. The number of victims is too large, and the abuses too systematic," 1994 Human Rights Watch report, "Torture and Ill-Treatment: Israel's Interrogation of Palestinians from the Occupied Territories."
The use of "force' - continued
"Amnesty International also observed that, when brought to trial, most Palestinian detainees arrested for 'terrorist' offenses and tortured by the Shin Bet (General Security Services) 'have been accused of offenses such as membership in unlawful associations or throwing stones. They have also included prisoners of conscience such as people arrested solely for raising a flag.' On a related point, Haaretz columnist B. Michael noted that there wasn't a single recorded case in which the Shin Bet's use of torture was prompted by a 'ticking bomb' scenario: 'In every instance of a Palestinian lodging formal complaint about torture, the Shin Bet justified its use in order to extract a confession about something that had already happened, not about something that was about to happen.'" Norman Finkelstein, "The Rise and Fall of Palestine."
The 1997 U.N. Commission Against Torture rules against Israel
"B'Tselem estimates—that the GSS annually interrogates between 1000-1500 Palestinians [as of 1998]. Some eighty-five percent of them—at least 850 persons a year—are tortured during interrogation...
"The U.N. Committee Against Torture,..reached an unequivocal conclusion:...'The methods of interrogation [used in Israeli prisons]...are in the Committee's view breaches of article 16 and also constitute torture as defined in article 1 of the Convention...As a State Party to the Convention Against Torture, Israel is precluded from raising before this Committee exceptional circumstances'...The prohibition on torture is, therefore, absolute, and no 'exceptional' circumstances may justify derogating from it." 1998 Report from B'Teslem, The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories, "Routine Torture: Interrogation Methods of the General Security Service."
Some arguments used to justify Zionism
"There is clearly no need to justify the Zionist dream, the desire for relief from Jewish suffering...The trouble with Zionism starts when it lands, so to speak, in Palestine. What has to be justified is the injustice to the Palestinians caused by Zionism, the dispossession and victimization of a whole people. There is clearly a wrong here, a wrong which creates the need for justification...
[E.g., the inheritance claim] The aim of Zionism is the restoration of a Jewish sovereignty to its status 2,000 years ago. Zionism does not advocate an overhauling of the total world situation in the same way. It does not advocate the restoration of the Roman empire...[In addition,] Palestinians have claimed descent from the ancient inhabitants of Palestine 3,000 years ago!...
[Jewish suffering as justification] It was easy to make the Palestinians pay for 2,000 years of persecution. The Palestinians, who have felt the enormous power of this vengeance, were not the historical oppressors of the Jews.
They did not put Jews into ghettos and force them to wear yellow stars. They did not plan holocausts. But they had one fault. They were weak and defenseless in the face of real military might, so they were the ideal victims for an abstract revenge....
[Anti-semitism as justification] Unlike the situation of Jews persecuted for being Jews, Israelis are at war with the Arab world because they have committed the sin of colonialism, not because of their Jewish identity...
[The law of the jungle justification.] Presenting the world as naturally unjust, and oppression as nature's way, has always been the first refuge of those who want to preserve their privileges...The need to justify Zionism, and the lack of other defenses, has made it part of the Israeli world view...In Israel, one common outcome is cynicism, for which Israelis have become famous...
[The effect on Israelis] Israelis seem to be haunted by a curse. It is the curse of the original sin against the native Arabs. How can Israel be discussed without recalling the dispossession and exclusion of non-Jews? This is the most basic fact about Israel, and no understanding of Israeli reality is possible without it. The original sin haunts and torments Israelis; it marks everything and taints everybody. Its memory poisons the blood and marks every moment of existence." Israeli author, Benjamin Beit-Hallahami, "Original Sins: Reflections on the History of Zionism and Israel."
Zionism's 'historical right' to Palestine
"Zionism's 'historical right' to Palestine was neither historical nor a right. It was not historical inasmuch as it voided the two millennia of non-Jewish settlement in Palestine and the two millennia of Jewish settlement outside it. It was not a right, except in the Romantic 'mysticism' of 'blood and soil' and the Romantic 'cult' of 'death, heroes and graves'... "The claim of Jewish 'homelessness is founded on a cluster of assumptions that both negates the liberal idea of citizenship and duplicates the anti-Semitic one that the state belongs to the majority ethnic nation. In a word, the Zionist case for a Jewish state is as valid as the anti-Semitic case for an ethnic state that marginalizes Jews." Professor Norman Finkelstein, "Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict,"
How about the Zionist argument that Jordan already is the Palestinian state?
"It is often alleged that there was, in fact, an earlier 'territorial compromise', namely in 1922, when Transjordan was excised from the promised 'national home for the Jewish people,'...a decision that is difficult to criticize in light of the fact that 'the number of Jews living there permanently in 1921 has reliably been estimated at two, or according to some authorities, three persons.'" Noam Chomsky, "The Fateful Triangle."
Why doesn't Israel, "the only democracy in the Middle East," have a constitution?
"The abstention from formulating a constitution was no accident. The massive expropriation of lands and other properties from those Arabs who fled the country as a result of the War of Independence and of those who remained but were declared absent, as well as the confiscation of large tracts of land from Arab villages who did not flee, and the laws passed to legalize those acts—all this would have necessarily been declared unconstitutional, null and void, by the Supreme Court, being expressly discriminatory against one part of the citizenry, whereas a democratic constitution obliges the state to treat all of its citizens equally." Israeli author, Boas Evron, "Jewish State or Israeli Nation?"
"The only democracy in the Middle East?" - continued
"The 1989 Israel High Court decision that any political party advocating full equality between Arab and Jew can be barred from fielding candidates in an election...[means] that the Israeli state is the state of the Jews...not their [the Arabs'] state." Professor Norman Finkelstein, "Image and Reality of the Israel-Palestine Conflict."

Police Blotter: 04.28.06
Teenagers suspected in burglary of school
Two teens, ages 14 and 16, were taken to the Nueces County Juvenile Justice Center early Thursday after Corpus Christi ISD police officers and Corpus Christi police said they saw them stealing computers from Carroll High School.
Corpus Christi police received a call at about 2:30 a.m. from district police about an alarm at the school.
Cmdr. Mike Walsh said officers found the teens loading computers onto a cart and another cart filled with items from other rooms waiting nearby.
Officials said that at least four rooms were burglarized.

29-year-old arrested after police spot gun
A 29-year-old man was arrested for suspicion of unlawful possession of a weapon about midnight Tuesday after a small handgun fell from his back pocket during a routine traffic stop near Carroll Lane and Gollihar Road.
When police asked about bullet holes in one of the doors of the silver Mitsubishi he was driving, he said someone had shot at him in the 3500 block of Brawner Parkway earlier that night. Police found empty bullet casings at that location and took a report for aggravated assault from the man. The man was not injured.
- Mary Ann Cavazos
Officials at the Corpus Christi Police Department provided this information. Numbered addresses refer to block numbers. If you have information call the police department at 886-2600.

Sometimes a man, despite his best efforts, doesn't find his destiny. Try as he might, down through the earnest years of his life, he chases it and even can believe he has it, only to awaken one morning and discover he doesn't - that what he has is an illusion, a mirage that he tried to turn into reality.
The activity surrounding each legislative session is always a combination of fast action with periods of slow-moving, tedious meetings as legislation is researched, deliberated and reconciled before the actual vote. This session was no different, and each day was used to the fullest as we set our sights on tackling some tough issues for the betterment of our state. The following is a summary of some of the major accomplishments and most-significant legislation passed this session.
On Wednesday, Liberty County residents will join millions of people around the world in celebrating the Earth on Earth Day.
There will be a public hearing Tuesday in Richmond Hill held by the Georgia Department of Transportation in reference to the proposed pipeline Kinder Morgan wants to install along the entire coast of Georgia. It is important that Coastal Georgia residents attend.
Lawmakers passed a nearly $22 billion spending plan that includes about $900 million in new revenues, consumed for the most part by school-enrollment growth, increasing retirement benefit-plan expenses for state employees and about $288 million to reduce an austerity cut for public schools. The 2016 budget also increases the local school-district cost of insurance for bus drivers and other non-certified school workers by more than $100 million, so it remains to be seen how much of the $288 million is used for teacher raises and undoing recession-era cuts.
Sometimes we forget that there are a lot of good people on this Earth doing good things. I was reminded of that by my friend, Jack Cookston, who recently had some medical issues that required him to cart around an oxygen tank wherever he went. (Happily, his health has improved and the oxygen tank is history.)
As expected, transportation funding and the governor's proposal to address persistently failing public schools dominated Georgia's legislative session. The measures passed, yet several opportunities to address critical economic issues were missed.
Carrie called the other day, and I grabbed the phone just as I was coming in from the garage. I dropped my purse at the foot of the stairs and sat down on a step to talk. No conversation with Carrie is ever short. Even her voicemails run three to four minutes.
I would love a good, old-fashioned rain - or, as we used to call it, gully washer - this week.
I just finished reading an article written by Valerie Tarico on Yahoo. The story was titled "Right-wing Christianity teaches bigotry: The ugly roots of Indiana's new anti-gay law."
Fortune Magazine has announced its list of the World's Greatest Leaders for 2015, and would you believe that I got snubbed again this year?
The Georgia General Assembly adjourned last week, and much was accomplished during a very busy session. The following are some of the bills that were agreed upon by both the House and Senate and have been sent to the governor for his approval.
With the 2015 General Assembly session ending last week, here's a list of the health-care winners and losers during the 40 days of the Legislature.
"The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations, whose words of thanks will not be heard." - Gaylord Nelson, founder of Earth Day
Editor, I want to address the front-page, above-the-fold news story by Randy C. Murray, "Is there racial profiling in Liberty County?" (Wednesday, April 1).
The first ozone alert of 2015 was issued June 17 amid 90-degree temperatures in metro Atlanta, a "Code Orange" warning children and "sensitive" individuals to "limit prolonged outdoor exertion."
Georgia summer nutrition programs served about 18,000 more children in July 2014 than in July 2013. That's the good news. The bad news is that these programs still served less than 1 in 6 needy children in 2014, according to a recent report by the Food Research and Action Center.
Creating an attractive Liberty County is good for all of us who live here. Attractive and clean communities attract new businesses and residents, and are healthier places for all of us to grow and thrive.
It happens all the time: Tink will meet someone new around where we live and, invariably, that person will mention my daddy.
"Clerk" is a commonplace term used to describe a variety of vocations, referring to persons who sell goods, wait on customers or engage in any type of clerical work, such as bookkeeping, copying and even running a cash register in a checkout line. Black's Law Dictionary defines "clerk" as the "officer of court who files pleadings, motions, judgments, etc., issues processes and keeps records of court proceedings," thus more aptly describing the functions of the 159 elected clerks of superior court in this state.
Every 67 seconds, someone in the United States develops Alzheimer's disease. By 2050, someone in the United States will develop the disease every 33 seconds.
It has been 31 years since he passed away, and not a day goes by that I don't miss him, especially on Father's Day.
The transportation bill received much attention this past legislative session, and rightfully so. It doesn't take long for one to drive anywhere in Georgia before noticing that our roads, interstates, and bridges are in terrible disrepair.
You may be surprised to learn that people sometimes disagree with me. You may be equally surprised that sometimes I see their point in the disagreement. Sometimes, I agree with that disagreement.
Many years ago, at the conclusion of the longest criminal jury trial in Liberty County's history, I overheard an attorney's son, who sat through several days of presentation of evidence during the trial, tell his father that, of all the jobs of court officials involved, he wanted my job as clerk of superior court.
Are you planning your summer vacation? I hope you don't think you have to toss out all your good green and sustainable habits when you travel!
Editor, The following is written in response to your article on June 10, 2015, discussing the indictment of Crystal Tilley. The Coastal Courier called the City of Walthourville earlier in the week seeking comments on the indictment. Then, as now, it would have been inappropriate for the city to officially comment on this matter. There is an ongoing criminal case, and current city officials and employees may be witnesses or called to give testimony.

Window condensation problem troubleshooting & repair: this article discusses problems with excessive condensation on windows and skylights and reviews the causes and cures of window condensation, secondary effects (mold, rot, decay), and also the condensation resistance of window glazing materials.

Condensation Resistance Ratings for Windows: Window Condensation or "Sweating"
In this article series we discuss the selection and installation of windows and doors, following best construction and design practices for building lighting and ventilation, with attention to the impact on building heating and cooling costs, indoor air quality, and comfort of occupants.
We review the proper installation details for windows and doors, and we compare the durability of different window and door materials and types. This article includes excerpts or adaptations from Best Practices Guide to Residential Construction, by Steven Bliss, courtesy of Wiley & Sons.
To rate a window's resistance to condensation, NFRC recently developed a method that evaluates the window's frame, glass, and glass edge at a standardized set of temperature and humidity conditions.
Based on the coldest part of the window assembly, it is assigned a rating from 1 to 100.
The higher the rating, the better the window is at resisting condensation, but the rating doesn't predict condensation under specific conditions. The voluntary minimum for a "thermally improved window" under the AAMA/NWWDA standard is 35.
The best protection against condensation is low-E glass with gas fill, combined with warm-edge spacers and a nonmetallic window frame, such as wood, vinyl, fiberglass, or one of the newer composites. Table 3-6 (below) provides a general guide to when condensation is likely to form on different types of glazing. Without warm-edge spacers, condensation will occur at window edges first.

How to Avoid Condensation Problems on Skylight Windows
Because warm moist air is carried upward by convection currents, skylights are often one of the first places to develop condensation. This can lead to dripping and staining of the frame, well, or furnishings below.
The best defense against skylight condensation is to choose high R-value glazing with warm-edge spacers. Good insulation of the skylight well also helps by keeping the surrounding area warmer. Several manufacturers offer skylights with integral condensation gutters, a helpful feature in cold climates.
Condensation Resistance of Windows: Measurements
The NFRC (National Fenestration Council) in discussing solar heat gain at windows, describes the Condensation Resistance of Windows (CR) as follows:

Alcohol Drinks Favorites New Orleans Seafood
"We took special note of what had happened to one famous New Orleans drink, the Hurricane, which has been transformed by Pat O'Brien's, the place that invented it."
The parallels mightn't be exact, but we see bits and pieces of Buffalo in New Orleans: in Buffalo's case, years of neglect and decline led to a slow corrosion of the city with some simultaneous growth in the suburbs, while New Orleans was recently hit by a brutal hurricane - Katrina - that humbled a city once nationally revered for its dining and entertainment options. Both places have been digging themselves out of holes; thanks to federal funding and a whole lot of local goodwill, New Orleans' resurrection is proceeding faster. Considerably faster. Our two-part article looking at some of the famous foods and restaurants in this city starts here; the second part on New Orleans sandwiches and sweets is available here.
It's impossible to visit New Orleans now without hearing about the Saints, the just-crowned Super Bowl champions whose unexpected victory united a city in need of something to cheer about. "Who Dat" t-shirts, songs, and banners are virtually everywhere - the airport, the airport shuttle to the hotel, the stores, the restaurants, and the bars - while the black and gold Saints jerseys are probably more popular than ever. Rap music heralding their victory competes with Zydeco on the city's streets, particularly in the French Quarter, an entertainment district that is home to or near many of New Orleans' bars, restaurants, and hotels. The French Quarter was largely spared the direct impact of the floodwaters that Katrina unleashed upon much of the rest of the city, but the indirect impact - families homeless, a massive disruption of essential services, and even the disinterment of bodies from New Orleans' historic and famous graveyards - sent shock waves through the population and the country that are yet to be fully settled. Conventions planned for the city were cancelled, businesses shuttered, and huge numbers of people displaced. Neighborhoods are now facing the sort of demolition and potential resurrection that Buffalo has only lately realized that it needs.
Yet so much is working properly these days in New Orleans that it's easy to see that the city will find its way forward again. In the mornings, cleanup crews literally soap and wash the streets, erasing all traces of the nighttime crowds and the mule-drawn carriages that take tourists through voodoo, celebrity, and historic locales. By 10:00am each day, the bars on legendarily debaucherous Bourbon Street begin to open again, offering frozen and freshly mixed drinks - including some brutally powerful ones - to steady crowds of tourists and locals. The Hand Grenade, a drink created in 1984, various 190-proof-Diesel-based orange beverages, and absinthe cocktails - the latter an ode to the city's French heritage and leanings - mingle with less potent local beers at too many bars and taverns for a visitor to count. Thanks to a local law permitting open containers so long as they're not glass bottles, it's possible to consume a single cup on the streets here and have a buzz for hours.
As Buffalonians and fans of authentic preparations of famous recipes, we took special note of what had happened to one famous New Orleans drink, the Hurricane, which has been so transformed by the place that invented it - the bar Pat O'Brien's - that there are now actually two such beverages in New Orleans: one made from a powdered sugary mix that tastes like red candy and rum, and the real, comparatively delicious original thing, made with orange and passion fruit juices. Pat O'Brien's now serves the artificial version; other bars make the original drink fresh. It's sort of like the Anchor Bar changing its recipe in order to mass-produce sauces for sale in supermarkets, but worse: imagine a chicken wing coated in Heinz ketchup and you'll have the general idea of how dissimilar the powdered mix version tastes.
If New Orleans' drinks have earned it a hard partying reputation, the city's food has made it something close to a seafood lover's paradise. Still diminished by Katrina, crawfish stocks these days are unimpressive enough that some restaurants aren't offering their traditional crawfish dishes any more - at least, for a while - meaning that the miniature lobsters have given way to oysters, shrimp, and fish at the city's restaurants. Grilled Redfish is popular enough locally to serve as the name of a restaurant; it was fantastic as an entree at the World Famous N'Awlins Cafe & Spice Emporium, where it sat beneath a generous ladeling of creamy Creole crawfish sauce and alongside a bed of parsley- and pepper-dusted rice. Alligator appears all over, sometimes unimpressively in the overcooked kabob form served at N'awlins, but elsewhere in a delicious sausage with gator rice plate served at Daisy Dukes, a dive bar off Canal Street.
The seafood star of the city these days, to our tastes, was the oyster. Though we loved the Absinthe Oyster Dome - a puff pastry atop a creamy absinthe and oyster soup, served at Commander's Palace, reputably New Orleans' best fine dining establishment - you needn't shell out big bucks for such a meal. The oysters served at the famous Acme Oyster House were so huge and exceptional we were equally wowed by the house special Chargrilled Oysters - literally and awesomely cooked on a grill with cheese inside - plus the raw ones shucked fresh, which were cold and sweet, with no trace of the briney salt that so often dominates them.
There are numerous other stories to share from this visit to New Orleans, including more details of the fancy 1-1-1 Soups dish at Commander's Palace - a three-soup sampler flight that every restaurant should offer - and the wonderful Mr. B's Barbecued Shrimp at Mr. B's Bistro, but we'll leave most of them for the captions of our massive New Orleans food and drink photo gallery. The second part of this article discusses famous New Orleans sandwiches and sweets, as well as dining disappointments and comparisons. Click through for the rest of the story.

Airport noise, downtown parking among issues at Naples town hall
The biggest complaint from Naples residents at Monday's town hall meeting may be one City Council can do little about — noise pollution and soot from planes at Naples Municipal Airport.
Five of the 12 residents who spoke at the meeting complained of both. A few suggested creating a citizen's advisory board that would make recommendations to the airport authority.
"I know it's like recommending poison to some of you," resident Alan Parker said, "but I don't think you have eyes and ears on what's happening over there."
About 60 people attended the town hall meeting, the first under new Mayor John Sorey. He intends to have regular town hall meetings as mayor to encourage the sharing of ideas and solutions.
Sorey told the crowd that the city relinquished control of the airport when the Legislature created an airport authority more than 40 years ago. Council now appoints members to the authority, but has little control otherwise, he said.
Naples resident George Orban invited council members to his home on 17th Avenue South to listen to the noise. He urged them not to let the matter die.
"If the city were today to ask itself what the highest and best use of all this land would be, would you build an airport there?" he asked, to laughter from the audience.
Jane Wasilewski, president of the Mariner's Cove condominiums board of directors, continued the conversation.
"The airport is getting more traffic every year than we did when we bought in 1993," she said. "I agree with the advisory committee. We get black soot. We're inhaling this stuff and it's a health hazard."
Also on the list of concerns was noise from Fifth Avenue South businesses and a lack of parking downtown. One resident, Sharon Kenny, suggested removing some on-street parking and installing parking meters along the street to encourage turnover of vehicles in prime spots.
Councilwoman Dee Sulick and Councilman Doug Finlay echoed those concerns and suggested reevaluating the parking situation in parts of the city.
Sorey said he was impressed by Monday's turn out and hopes to add some of the points to future workshop agendas.
"We'll come out of this meeting with a list of items to talk about," he said.

A spare tire for this car? Where did you put it? Not under the trunk deck---
The fog light button is for the rear fog light.
It lights up the drivers side rear tail light brighter than the passangers side so it does not appear as if you are braking but you are more visible to the drivers behind you.
Say during a snow storm...preventive saftey!
Have had the S60 for about 5 months now.
I agree with all of your comments.
I love the seats and the acceleration, even in the T5.
Tourque steer is minimal, as indicated.
You right on about the dial on the steering wheel. I am constantly hitting by accident.
This should be changed.
The fact that you can't change bands on the steering wheel also drives me crazy.
The radio, in general needs improvement.
The delay when changing channels and the sound need some refining.
Love just about everything else about the car, including better than average mileage on regular gas.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
The 6th installment of PentaTone's Wagner Edition brings us to the epic story of Tannhäuser, performed by top Wagner singers, the Rundfunkchor Berlin, Rundfunk Sinfonieorchester Berlin, and conductor Marek Janowski. This Wagner Edition represents the first time in recording history that a label has recorded all major Wagner operas with the same orchestra, choir and conductor.
The Guardian, 30th May 2013
Janowski's dramatic instincts and his ability to obtain orchestral playing of great intensity and presence are as keenly honed as ever - there are some thrilling interludes in this Rheingold...the classiest [vocal] performances come from Günther Groissböck's Fasolt and Iris Vermillion's Fricka.
Sunday Times, 2nd June 2013
He fields several outstanding singers from the rising Wagnerian generation ...Above all, this is Janowski's triumph. His decision to focus on the music at the expense of theatrical ideas has been criticised, but he is vindicated by the gripping, dramatic playing here.
International Record Review, July/August 2013
It's the RSOB's playing that steps effortlessly into the limelight. This is a Ring conceived, deliberately, as a musical rather than a theatrical journey...[Schmeckenberger's is] a characterization of awesome dramatic power...After Schmeckenberger, another star of the set is the lyrical, immaculately articulated Loge of Christian Elsner.
MusicWeb International, 11th July 2013
This Rheingold finds [Janowski] at his best. He uses his preference for fast speeds to his advantage to make the drama buzz along from one exciting episode to another...[the orchestra] take every opportunity to reveal Wagner's score in all its astounding, delectable colour, as if holding it up to the light for fresh examination.
BBC Music Magazine, August 2013
This is superbly recorded, mainly wonderfully played , interestingly conducted and reasonably well sung...dramatically gripping as only a well-conducted Rheingold can be...The best reason for getting this set is the Loge of Christian Elsner...Elsner does not miss a trick in catching all the elements of this complex character, but he never sings less than beautifully.
Gramophone Magazine, September 2013
The real secret ingredient here is the conductor himself...What was a little too calm and remote in the earlier Dresden recording now has real cojones...This is both a great start to Janowski's new Ring cycle and a competitive Rheingold in its own right.
