Read Poems by
Sean Kelly
Say Lady , it's hard to believe
With this serpent tugging my sleeve
Saying " head for the chapel
Here's a nice juicy apple
Ring her bell , it's now New Years Eve " .
So , Sweet Rib , what is your name ?
" I'm your Eve , with no in-laws to blame .
So , well done my boy
Lets go forth .... multiply.
But , that fig leaf's too small for your shame ".
It's a biblical thing , not a fable
As our sons sat around our new table
Each others bad nemesis
Listening to Genesis
Discovering Cain wasn't " able " .
Our Garden Of Eden was class
As it shimmered with silver and brass .
But the Lord said " lets go .
Here's a rake and a hoe .
Clear the weeds , and that snake from the grass ".
Dedicated to my 2 favorite Eves : Christmas & New Years ..

By Fred W. Baker IIIAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28, 2011 Frank Woodruff Buckles, the last surviving American World War I veteran, died yesterday at his West Virginia home. He was 110.
Sixteen-year-old Buckles enlisted in the Army on Aug. 14, 1917, after lying to several recruiters about his age.
"I was just 16 and didn't look a day older. I confess to you that I lied to more than one recruiter. I gave them my solemn word that I was 18, but I'd left my birth certificate back home in the family Bible. They'd take one look at me and laugh and tell me to home before my mother noticed I was gone," Buckles wrote in 2009.
Buckles tried the Marines and Navy, but both turned him away. An Army recruiter, however, accepted his story.
"Somehow I got the idea that telling an even bigger whopper was the way to go. So I told the next recruiter that I was 21 and darned if he didn't sign me up on the spot!" he wrote.
Buckles earned the rank of corporal and traveled England and France serving as an ambulance driver. After the Armistice in 1918, Buckles escorted prisoners of war back to Germany. He was discharged in 1920.
In 1942 Buckles worked as a civilian for a shipping company in the Philippines, where he was captured in Manila by the Japanese the day after they attacked Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. He spent three and a half years in the Los Baños prison camp. He was rescued on February 23, 1945.
Buckles married Audrey Mayo of Pleasanton, Calif., in 1946. The couple moved to his Gap View Farm near Charles Town in January 1954 where Buckles reportedly continued to drive his tractor until he was 106.
On February 4, 2008, with the death of 108-year-old Harry Richard Landis, Buckles became the last surviving American World War I veteran. Since, Buckles championed veterans' causes, was invited to the White House and honored at the Pentagon.
In March 2008 Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates honored Buckles during a Pentagon ceremony in which officials unveiled a World War I veterans' exhibit.
"Whoever views this display will, I am sure, feel a connection to Mr. Buckles and his comrades-in-arms," Gates said. "We will always be grateful for what they did for their country 90 years ago."
Buckles, then 107, received a standing ovation from the mostly military audience.
"I feel honored to be here as a representative of the veterans of WWI and I thank you," Buckles said.
Buckles is survived by his daughter, Susannah Buckles Flanagan. His wife, Audrey, died in 1999.
In a White House statement issued today President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama saluted the fallen veteran.
"Frank Buckles lived the American Century," the President stated. "Like so many veterans, he returned home, continued his education, began a career, and along with his late wife Audrey, raised their daughter Susannah. And just as Frank continued to serve America until his passing, as the Honorary Chairman of the World War I Memorial Foundation, our nation has a sacred obligation to always serve our veterans and their families as well as they've served us.
"We join Susannah and all those who knew and loved her father in celebrating a remarkable life that reminds us of the true meaning of patriotism and our obligations to each other as Americans."

More than 140 people marched through Johnson City last month as part of a "SlutWalk" to call attention to misconceptions about rape.
As Press staff writer Madison Mathews reported July 24, participants carried signs and shouted chants such as, "A dress, a dress, a dress is not a yes" and "Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! Victim blame has got to go," as they made their way downtown from East Tennessee State University.
The first SlutWalk was held in April in Toronto to protest the comments of a police official there who suggested some rapes occur because the rapist thought the victim dressed like a "slut," or provocatively. Similar SlutWalks have spread across the United States, as well as parts of Europe and India.
Organizers say the events are helpful in educating members of the public who incorrectly believe victims are somehow to blame for rape. Giving victims of sex crimes a chance to feel like it wasn't their fault was a reason ETSU students Kristina Bogue and Valerie Treece say they decided to organize a SlutWalk in Johnson City.
"It's just about being able to wear whatever you want to wear and not being blamed for that, like you're not asking for it if you were to get raped," Treece said.
Bogue said she got the idea of holding a local SlutWalk after seeing a picture of a girl holding a sign that read, "Teach men not to rape. Don't tell us what to wear."
While SlutWalks have gained praise from many for calling attention to the problem of rape, others say they are not an appropriate way to show why victims shouldn't be blamed for their attacks.
As Rebecca Taister recently wrote in the New York Times Magazine: "To object to these ugly characterizations is right and righteous. But to do so while dressed in what look like sexy stewardess Halloween costumes seems less like victory than capitulation (linguistic and sartorial) to what society already expects of its young women."
Taister also wrote: "So while the mission of SlutWalks is crucial, the package is confusing and leaves young feminists open to the very kinds of attacks they are battling."
Are SlutWalks effective in raising public awareness about rape?

There was an attack on the Israeli military in the Shebaa Farms on 28 January 2015. There have been reports of cross border shelling near the towns of Majidiyeh, Kfarshouba, Abbasiye and Wazzani. A UN peacekeeper has been killed and further casualties have been reported. There is potential for further clashes. Monitor the media for updates. The FCO advise against all travel to the Shebaa Farms area.
There are ongoing clashes between Lebanese security forces and militants in Tripoli and in areas north of Tripoli, including in Minyeh and Banine. Reports of civilians, soldiers and militants killed and injured.
The security situation in parts of Lebanon can deteriorate quickly. There is potential for further violence, which could restrict departure options. The ability of the British government to provide assistance with departures may be limited. Keep up to date with developments, be vigilant, follow local advice and avoid any protests or demonstrations. Roads can become blocked due to protests. See Political situation
There is a high threat from terrorism. There is a high risk of attacks by Islamist extremist groups, which could be indiscriminate and affect Lebanese security authorities, checkpoints and places visited by foreigners like hotels, restaurants, tourist sites western-style shopping centres and supermarket chains.
Security authorities are at a high state of alert and conducting security operations across Lebanon. Suspects have detonated explosions to avoid arrest and attacks could take place in areas not previously targeted. If you notice that a security operation is underway you should immediately leave the area.
You should exercise extra vigilance. Bystanders have been killed in a number of terrorist attacks in recent years. Attacks have involved car explosions and grenades. Further attacks are highly likely. See Terrorism
On 10 January 2015, 9 people were killed and over 30 wounded in a suicide bomb attack in the Jebel Mohsen area of Tripoli.
On 25 June 2014, there was an explosion in the Duroy Hotel in the Raouche neighbourhood of Beirut which resulted in 1 death and 11 people injured.

If this makes the iPad capable of printing without having to pay for an extra app, I'm all for it.
I'd just be glad to see the entire driver issue disappear. Had a problem with a recent update on Brother Printers through Software Update that disabled my network printing. I ended up rolling back to the previous driver to fix the problem and am ignoring the Software Updater on this until OS X 10.7.1 before I try again.

The world and especially New Orleans need a lot more Amanda's. I don't know who she is but I am certainly humbled by her story. If I ever need a nurse, she's the type I would like to have.
I am offended that they posted info that the perps were men. What is the point if you dont offer more of a description!!!!
Sometimes it's the worst of one that brings out the best of many. Imagine if we all did this!!!!!

Is It just me or does he look like Jimmy Graham
Imagine the irony, ATT getting ripped off. Now they may be in touch with their customers.
What you say has more truth to it then maybe you realize. I am 51 yrs. young with 22 yrs.medical sales experience and a prior 8 yrs sales exp. with a fortune 100 company. Promoted 4x into management between the 2. Unfortunately, early success and the birth of my 1st child caused me to stop going to college with 3 yrs. under my belt. Recently, I have begun searching for a position w/ a different medical company and have been told by almost all recruiters I needed to finish college and finish my degree. I decided to look into this possibility but was told that do the time factor I would have to repeat many classes that I had already completed because things have changed over the past 29 years. So, my question was, what good would it have done for me to learn things that are now considered obsolete if today the degree is a necessity? Buy a diploma probably the answer.
It's Bush's fault.

Vincent Murimi
Does it make any sense?
-Perhaps you may understand,
It comes with these intense,
And it even crosses the fence.
A word you can't explain
That brings squabbles among men and
envy among women,
It operates like a signal
and drives like a motor.
Does it make any sense?
That no hero can withstand
and neither heroes will tense,
And face it with their hands.
Like the sermon it brings desire,
feelings blossom just like fire,
nobody wants to retire
of the feelings that take them higher,
and happiness it will sire.
Some express it with tears
while others do it with cheers,
of the comfort it brings,
Till you forget other things.
Perhaps you made a right guess,
love is what I meant,
It brings people together
Its intangible but you can feel it,
Let's all embrace love!!!

By Amaani LyleAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29, 2012 The senior military assistant to Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta lauded service members and provided his impressions of the enemy they face in remarks yesterday at the American Legion's national convention in Indianapolis.
Marine Corps Lt. Gen. John F. Kelly credited the fearless dedication of Americans who have served in overcoming struggles ranging from British oppression, communism, and Nazi rule to the "high tide" of Islamic intolerance and extremism.
"Service members have come to understand the simple fact that America's strength was and should be again a people stitched together by a shared sense of history, values, customs, hopes and dreams that unite us, … [and] that there is great power in us as individuals, but even greater power in individuals who voluntarily work together and support each other," Kelly said.
Despite the belief of some that the United States has produced a generation of materialistic, self-absorbed young people, Kelly said, Americans can "watch in wonderment those who serve or have served, asking not what their country can do for them, but always, and with their lives, what they can do for America."
The general also emphasized the formidability of modern-day threats, acknowledging more than 6,000 military members killed in action since overseas contingency operations began after the 9/11 terrorist attacks against America.
"We didn't start this fight," he said. "It came to us motivated by a visceral loathing of everything we are. Our enemy is savage, offers absolutely no quarter, [and] has a single focus: that is [to] kill every one of us here at home or enslave us with extremism that serves no God and no purpose that any decent man or woman could ever understand."
Kelly said military members' families are the small portion of American society that each day awaits the dreaded visit from officials who would tell them their loved one in uniform will not come home. He also said he can attest to the selflessness of service members who have endured and continue to endure the hardships of war.
"I've seen them literally turn the intangibles of commitment, bravery and selfless devotion into real and meaningful action," Kelly said. "In my three tours in this war, I never saw one hesitate or do anything other than lean into the fire and, with no apparent fear of death or injury, take the fight to those who would do you harm."
Kelly recounted battlefield fear that is at times all-consuming, with uniformed people expressing levels of courage even their families may not realize they have.
"When no one would call them 'coward' for cowering behind a wall or shivering in panic in a bunker, slave to the most basic of all instincts -- survival -- none of them do," Kelly said. "When the calls for the corpsman or medic are shouted from the mouths of young kids who know they will soon be with their God, when seconds seem like hours and it all becomes slow motion and fast-forward at the same time … and the only sensible act is to stop, get down, save yourself, they never did."
Kelly said he prays that the nation the fallen have loved and protected is forever worthy of their sacrifice.
"We are America, and we must prevail, because we remain mankind's best hope for the future," he said.
President Barack Obama has nominated Kelly to receive his fourth star and serve as commander of U.S. Southern Command.

From the Washington Post, courtesy of Michael Perelman. Here are his thoughts on the matter:
Considering that the Federal Reserve is supposed to be independent of the government, it would seem that getting such powers to the Fed would be ill-advised.
In addition, considering that the Fed's posture in the bailout makes the Treasury Department looks like a paragon of transparency, giving such powers to the Fed seems even more questionable.
When the Democrats promised change, I thought they meant change for the better. Maybe I was wrong.
Here's the article:
Fed May Gain More Financial Oversight
Some Worry Plan Would Give Bank Too Much Power
By Neil Irwin and Binyamin Appelbaum
Washington Post Staff Writers
Monday, January 26, 2009; A01
Congress is moving to create strong new oversight of the financial sector that would likely give the Federal Reserve authority to examine the workings of a wide range of companies in an attempt to address one of the key failures that led to the financial crisis.
But the initiative, which could be finalized in the House by spring, is raising concerns about whether it would muddy the Fed's traditional mission and concentrate too much power in a single federal body.
The legislation envisioned by House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank (D-Mass.) would put the Fed, or less likely another government agency, in charge of protecting the stability of the entire system, Frank and other congressional sources said.
An abundance of federal agencies regulate the financial industry. But no agency is responsible for understanding or containing risks affecting the financial system as a whole. In fact, none even has a complete picture of the financial markets.
The danger was highlighted by last year's meltdown of insurance giant American International Group. In the days before the government was forced to bail out the firm, no federal official comprehended the magnitude of the threat the company's troubles posed to the economy.
Under Frank's legislation, the new regulator would likely be given the power to gather information about the inner workings of banks, investment firms, insurance companies, hedge funds and any other entity big enough or so intertwined with other companies that it creates the risk of a systemic collapse. These companies would have to provide detailed information about how they manage risk, their derivative contracts and the extent to which they use borrowed money.

My partner and I recently put together an emergency kit for our home. Getting organized was fun and we both learned lots through the process. The most important lesson is this: by being prepared, we'll be better positioned to help.
Shortly after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan earlier this year, I attended a Vancouver Coastal Health public information session about preparing for natural disasters. The session was eye-opening and I had been meaning to get on it since then. One Sunday night last month, I was going through my neglected in-tray at home and found the emergency preparedness literature. I finally had a proper look through it and started pulling together what we needed to be self-sufficient for 72 hours.
Being prepared for a minimum of three full days without public assistance and without access to utilities, fresh water and communication channels is recommended by our municipal government and provincial health authorities. It's a good idea to prepare three-day emergency kits for your home and for your car. A step further is to build a second kit for your home that includes supplies for an additional four days so you're covered for a week.
We started with getting a three-day kit together for our home. We already had most of the stuff we needed, scattered through camping storage bins, first aid kits, and in the garage. That first night, our three-day home kit was assembled into a backpack containing medical basics, flashlights and batteries, duct tape, matches, scissors, rope, plastic bags and a few other odds and ends. We had also created a to-do list of missing items, like work gloves, energy bars, and spare keys.
The best part was talking about our emergency plan. We assumed that we would not be together, that we would not have cell phone coverage, and that we would be on foot. Our meeting point is our home and if it's unsafe to be there, it's our local community centre. We've stashed a Sharpie, paper and tape in a baggie on our porch so we can leave a note if we do make it home but decide to leave. Our plan is specific: meet at the NE corner of Ontario and East 33rd Ave.
The second part of our plan is getting to our young daughter. We assumed that she would be with my parents, who care for her while we're both at work, and that they will be at their home in North Van. We plan to ride our bikes over the Second Narrows to gather with the rest of my family. We also agreed who we would call outside of the city to check-in. My aunt in Edmonton will be my family's communication hub so if we can't get to one another, at least we can let someone know we're ok. Deciding upon our emergency plan started our whole family talking about emergency what-ifs. We all feel better for it.
Before considering emergency preparedness, I guess I just assumed that we would be ok/taken care of when shit goes down. We often hear of communities pulling together during crisis. I now realize that being prepared positions us to help our neighbours because our chances of staying healthy are increased. That sounds like a good plan to me.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A man visiting Memphis as a performer says he was threatened with a gun and then physically attacked, all because he's gay.
He' says the attack at a night club on Second Street is a hate crime.
The man, who needed stitches after the attack, says he left the nightclub Purple Haze after a night filled with fun, when he was approached by someone apparently full of hate.
"There was a crowd of people from the club, came out and yelled, 'Hate crime, hate crime!'"
That's what he remembers before being knocked out cold. He needed seven stitches, and his mememories of Memphis might never be the same.
"Before I knew it, it went black like that."
He didn't want us to reveal his identity because he's a performer who travels the country acting and singing.
On a day his friends back home in New York were celebrating pride Sunday, he spent the morning hours in the hospital.
At around 4 a.m. Sunday, two men approached him outside of Purple Haze.
"He asked me, 'Are you gay?' And I said yes, I am. 'Well then what would you do if I had a gun?' and I said, well I would tell you not to use it or shoot anyone."
He says after that short conversation, he blacked out because the man punched him. He also says two men attacked one of his friends, "and was telling his friend who had tripped and fallen on the ground to pull out his gun and shoot us."
A witness tried to chase the criminals, but only captured a blurry picture as the duo jumped into a car.
The nightclub might come up with better pictures because it has security cameras, and police cameras line Lt. George W Lee Avenue.
"Before I knew it, I was in the face of an enemy."
While the Memphis visitor says he's a little less proud to be born in Tennessee, he's still proud of who is.
"Honestly I feel like every day is pride because I'm just happy to be who I am, and I have nothing but love for people."
Between 2012 and 2013, there were 291 hate crimes reported in Tennessee, according to the TBI. That's a 17 percent increase from the previous year. Anti-gay bias now makes up almost 40 percent of reported hate crimes.

Public Lounge > Welcome Central - **FIRST POST MUST BE MADE HERE
There is a hell.
<< < (2/7) > >>
--- Quote from: j1e9b5j4 on August 07, 2012, 12:33:36 PM ---We are being told that religious scholars and preachers are refraining from teaching about hell because they have come to believe that there is no hell. In Luke chapter 16 Jesus references hell in the parable of the rich man and the beggar named Lazarus. Luke writes in verses 23 and 24 that Jesus said, "And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame."
Also, John writes in Revelation Chapter 20 verses 13 and 14 "And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death."
I'll stick with John and Jesus. There is a hell.
--- End quote ---
Ask yourself this: if death and hell were cast into the lake of fire, then can hell still exist?
And before you tell me the lake of fire is hell, let me ask you this: If I throw a roll of duct tape into a basket, is the duct tape the basket?
As far as the parable goes (and please do not miss that it was a parable and never meant to be taken literally), please note that salvation isn't mentioned once, it was directed toward the Pharisees, and that if we are to take it literally, the only way to heaven is to be poor, eat crumbs from the table, and let the dogs lick our wounds. Sound like the "plan of salvation" to you?
There is no such thing as hell. God is the Savior of ALL mankind, especially those who believe. Period.
--- Quote from: reFORMer on August 16, 2012, 03:41:01 PM ---
--- Quote from: j1e9b5j4 on August 07, 2012, 12:33:36 PM ---I'll stick with John and Jesus. There is a hell.
--- End quote ---
Anyone who says something like this reveals their unlearned condition.
--- End quote ---
Or their twisted mind.
The Pharisees in Jesus time were learned men who had a good grasp on Scripture.
They saw Jesus performing miracles. They even believed it were true miracles. So far so good. But they attributed those miracles to satan.
Today the Pharisees are replaced by the church that claims it is orthodox.
They attribute the absolute success (spiritual miracle) of Jesus to satanic interpretation.
WW, I think you mean to say, "the church that claims it is orthodox," rather than, "The Orthodox Church," which to many means particular demoninations in the Eastern Orthodox Churches, including the Greek and the Russian Orhodox. I tend to call it things like, "Mainstream institutional Christianity that considers itself to be the righteous arbiter of faith and practice for the rest of the Christian world." To the best of my recollection, this is the first time I've called it just that. These things aren't an exact science.
Correct. Editted.
There is a lake of fire, albeit an image representing a spiritual reality that is interpretable through the other scriptures in a variety of ways.
There never was a hell, and is no such thing as Hell, or Hades.
There is SHEOL, the word incorrectly translated first as HADES, by the Greeks, then INFERNO by the Romans, and then HELL, by the English, who were linguisticly influenced by the Jutes and Danes and Vikings for whom HEL was their mythological underworld.
In Hebrew thought, there never was a HELL of fire.
In early Christian thought fire CONSUMES DARKNESS, REVEALS SECRETS, PURIFIES THE METAL
The idea of hades/hell was already in existence among the Greeks and Romans before Christ, but HELL never existed in Christian language until the 15th century- a word coined by the English as they perpetuated the INFERIOR SCHOLARSHIP AND PREJUDICED SYSTEMATIC THEOLOGY OF THEIR PREDECESSORS ACCORDING TO THE EDICT OF CORRUPT KING JAMES RELIGIONISTS.
There is the FIRE OF GOD which is LIGHT and CONSUMES DARKNESS which is HATE, which will be REVEALED BY FIRE which is LIGHT, which is LOVE _ Which is why all things are being reconciled by THE BLOOD OF HIS CROSS, for, IF I BE LIFTED UP I WILL DRAW ALL MEN UNTO ME.
God is light, God is love, God is a consuming fire

A Remarkable Early Dollar
This memorable Flowing Hair dollar was front row center in Catherine Bullowa's sale "including my personal treasures" held on December 4, 2005. Today, graded by PCGS as MS-66, it is unique at this lofty level. It was the cover coin in the Bullowa sale and was described as: "Very choice to gem Uncirculated. Prooflike surfaces with deep mirror effect. Perfectly centered, fully and beautifully struck. Gorgeous bluish-purple perfectly balanced color. Superb example."
Welcome to Rarities Night 2015! This event is always a highlight of our series of auctions with the American Numismatic Association World's Fair of Money.
The highlights are many. Here are some of my favorites:
Stack's Bowers and Ponterio is pleased to announce that our August 2015 Hong Kong Auction Catalog is now available online. A casual look through the catalog reveals a cornucopia of offerings, not only from China, but also from all of Southeast Asia as well. Last week's blog dealt primarily with vintage Chinese coinage. This week, we take a closer look at the Modern Chinese offerings in the upcoming sale, with an eye toward rarity.
It has been a great pleasure for all of us at Stack's Bowers Galleries to offer for auction an incredible CAC-Approved, Gem Red 1807/6 Draped Bust cent from the Cardinal Collection. This coin was alluded to in our Did You Know? blog article earlier this month and as Rarities Night of our 2015 Chicago ANA World's Fair of Money Auction approaches, bidders will soon be able to share in the excitement!
The Stack's Bowers Galleries Official Currency Auction of the ANA World's Fair of Money will feature a highly desirable Confederate T-2 1861 $500. Just four types of these rare early high denomination Confederate Treasury Notes were issued while the Confederate capital was located in Montgomery, Alabama. These four notes, known as the Montgomerys, include the first four types of the standard Confederate type set with denominations of $1000, $500, $100 and $50.
"Summertime and the Living is Easy," as the song from Porgy and Bess goes. Welcome to my latest blog set in the twilight of the month of July. While summer is vacation time for many, numismatics knows no season, although it does slow down. While no figures are available, I might guess that 10% to 15% of our clients are off to National Parks, visiting tourist sites and cities, cruising, or somewhere other than their homes and offices. Today, keeping in touch by email is the reality, including bidding live at auctions, so no one needs to miss much.
Here is this week's Test Your Knowledge question! Answer correctly in the comments section and be entered in a drawing for our official auction of the ANA World's Fair of Money Rarities Night auction catalog! The answer will be revealed next week! Can't wait for the next email newsletter? Visit us on Facebook or Twitter for the answer on Monday!

Born in Paris the son of a government official, Francois-Marie Arouet was educated at the College Louis-le-Grand, a Jesuit seminary. He was educated to be a lawyer, but the had no taste for the law. When he was sent to Holland as a diplomat, an unwise love affair caused him to be sent back quickly to France. Shortly after returning, he was charged with writing a scathing satire of the nobility and was sent to prison for 11 months. While there, he assumed the name Voltaire and continued his writing. Throughout his life, Voltaire was a progressive thinker and an opponent of political and religious oppression. He was instrumental in popularizing philosophical, religious, and scientific ideas that were frequently derived from liberal thinkers in England, where he lived for two years after his imprisonment. Probably more than anything else, Voltaire can be characterized as a "liberator," fighting always for man's freedom. Despite his many works of philosophy, plays , and political essays, Voltaire is best known to twentieth-century readers as the author of the novel Candide (1759), a masterpiece of satire on the overly optimistic views of the German philosopher Leibniz, for whom "all is for the best in this best of all possible worlds" Candide, which has been called "a philosophical romance" was made into a musical by American composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein and played successfully in New York City on Broadway.

This is good for Nicky but I do tend to agree, they probably have feedback from Rossi and they'll use the test rider and Nicky to analyze the parts. As much as I hate the idea of my favorite rider being #2 (especially having a MotoGP Title), I feel that Ducati seems to put far more effort into Valentino. Not just for being Italian, but for how huge his salary is. They didn't listen to Stoner, I doubt they'll do much for Nicky but I do believe they'll throw everything Rossi's way.

Picochip and Xelerated: Just the Start of a Wireless Chip M & A Boom this Year
Several factors will create a storm of M&A in the wireless chip world in 2012. The recession will see a number of mature and accomplished start-ups, especially in Europe, coming for sale at bargain prices as IPOs dry up. And as chip suppliers increasingly need to diversify throughout the wireless product chain, they will need to make more, and sometimes larger, purchases, in order to broaden their portfolios rapidly. Last year saw both Qualcomm (Atheros) and Broadcom (NetLogic) making far bigger acquisitions than they normally attempt, in order to gain an overnight foothold in a lateral segment. And 2012 has started with two highly strategic acquisitions at knockdown prices – Mindspeed of femtocell specialist Picochip, and Marvell of Sweden's infrastructure silicon provider Xelerated.
The Mindspeed deal brings together two key technologies – femtocell SoCs and LTE. The US firm is to pay up to $76.8m for its UK-based prey, with the aim of allowing both firms to achieve the scale to remain competitive in a sector poised for major growth, but eyed hungrily by the giants.
Mindspeed has attracted high levels of attention for its pioneering work in small cell architectures, particularly for LTE, but has not yet converted its innovation into significant sales. Meanwhile, 11-year old Picochip is the leading supplier of SoCs for the femtocell market, and has led the charge to adapt the concepts of that segment – highly integrated, low power, self-managing units – for the more complex challenge of the public access, carrier network. The acquisition gives the UK company the wherewithal to accelerate its migration into the outdoor network and to survive the classic danger period for the start-up, when an initial market lead starts to be threatened by rivals with deeper pockets, before new market opportunities have fully matured.
The price tag reflects the dangers of this transition period, as well as economic realities, rather than the real value of Picochip's technology and market position. However, the timing is good, giving both firms a fighting chance of making their mark in the LTE small cells space, where SKT recently sounded the bugle with a world-first deployment of a network based on what will become the guiding principles of modern 4G network planning – shrunken base stations and heterogeneous networks combining 3G, LTE and Wi-Fi. In this context, Mindspeed and Picochip make a complementary and highly strategic match, even if the former – like Marvell with its purchase of network processor maker Xelerated earlier this week for a reported $100m – has got a European innovator decidedly on the cheap.
That Marvell transaction is part of a trend for wireless silicon majors to push the balance of their product portfolios further back into the more lucrative guts of the network, shifting their priorities in line with carrier budgets, which increasingly have to focus heavily on back end infrastructure as radio networks take on characteristics of the data center, handling huge levels of data processing and running on Ethernet/IP transport links. Xelerated has products in two key areas of this sector – the AX and HX ranges of network processors as well as programmable Ethernet switches.
Marvell and Broadcom, both major players in Ethernet switch-chips, are expanding their ranges to include more network processors, as seen in the latter's purchase initially of Sandburst in 2006 and then, last September, of NetLogic. This has taken it up against established players like leader Freescale plus Cavium, AMCC, Renesas and Intel (the last of these strengthened by its purchase last year of Ethernet switch-chip vendor Fulcrum). Texas Instruments, from its starting point in the base station heart of the RAN, has also increasingly been stretching to the back of the network with Cloud-RAN extensions to its KeyStone architecture, while switch-chip specialists like Vitesse are also eyeing the wireless market keenly.
Xelerated will be particularly important in the high growth 100Gbps segment, where Marvell has previously been working with EZchip (and often tipped to buy that firm). The official line is that the acquirer will "continue to work with EZChip on NP-4 and NP-5 processors and is committed to the long term relationship with EZChip." While EZchip boasts deals with key network players like Cisco and Juniper, Xelerated has Huawei as a flagship client. Nonetheless, EZchip stock fell on nervousness about its long term prospects with Marvell – however, many analysts believe the larger firm would do nothing to compromise the Cisco relationship, and is in reality seeking to control both the alternative players to Broadcom, effectively reducing this growth sector to a two-horse race, just as superfast backbones are being driven forward by the explosions in mobile data and digital video.

Red Bush Monkey Flower can be found
from San Diego through Ventura Counties. Plants do well in full sun
near the coast but will perform better with east and north exposures further inland.
Mimulus puniceus blooms from mid winter into the Summer. From a landscape standpoint it is a somewhat
difficult plant because it will not accept much summer water. In an irrigated landscape tending
to the individual needs of plants is sometimes difficult. In a wild
garden setting this plant is striking. . It is best to plant Mimulus
puniceus in the Fall and water it a few times to keep it going until
the rains come. By the end of the rainy period in Spring your Sticky
Monkey Flower should be established. I have lost Mimulus puniceus a number of times
in irrigated landscapes and at best the Red Bush Monkey Flower will be
relatively short lived. I have seen Sticky Monkey Flowers growing in extremely well drained
situations as well as in heavy soils. Hummingbirds like these long
slender throated flowers. Mimulus is a larval host for the Checkerspot
and Common Buckeye Butterflies
High resolution photos of Mimulus puniceus are part of our garden image collection.

Bick, anecdotally I'd have to agree. I've met a lot more men who are passionate about the arts than women - no doubt a big reason why I'm hanging out with you guys online rather than female musicians (the few of us - Mary, Caz etc excepted).
You may have a point about those with more rounded priorities having the benefit of a clear third person standpoint. However, I'm hardly in a position to comment :)
As for TLC, she sure is one out of the box - but then again players like Steve Gadd and Roy Haynes can also play with that kind of dexterity and sensitivity.

Ha! I felt that if I didn't mention you and Disney, then someone would pipe up about it. You actually have a nice face, far from ugly ... if you're fishing for compliments, consider this a bite :)

Thanks Bruce. After 4 months that vid now has over 200 views - clearly due to my oestrogenic lure!

Millions Of Chinese To Travel For Chinese New Year
By editor
Originally published on Thu February 7, 2013 3:07 pm
Good morning, I'm David Greene.
We've heard that necessity breeds invention. Well, so does discomfort. This weekend, 200 million Chinese are traveling home for the Chinese New Year. And for some this means entire days on standing room only trains.
One gadget being sold to travelers is a padded metal pole. It's to lean your head on so you don't fall over when you doze off. Or how about a luggage cart that doubles as a seat, with cup holders? Many people, though, are going old school with a simple upside down bucket.
It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Senior political analyst Marwan Bishara explains why Newt Gingrich is no Tom Cruise, and why touting Israel is a mission impossible.
Former speaker of the House and Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich is a staunch suppoter of Israel [EPA]
The film "Mission Impossible 4" opened in US theatres in recent weeks, starring BMW, Apple and Tom Cruise. A two-hour-long commercial on steroids.
"I think that we've had invented Palestinian people who are in fact Arabs, and who were historically part of the Arab community.
And they had a chance to go many places, and for a variety of political reasons we have sustained this war against Israel now since the nineteen-forties, and it's tragic." h, former speaker of the House and Republican presidential candidate
"You can be sure that Gingrich did not care a whit for what Palestinians, here or in the US, would think. The Palestinian vote will not decide swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, or, above all, Florida"ck, New Yorker editor
"I sure hope that Israel's prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, understands that the standing ovation he got in Congress this year was not for his politics. That ovation was bought and paid for by the Israel lobby." --- Thomas Friedman, The New York Times columnist
If you are unfamiliar with it, Paid Product Placement (PPP) is a big thing in the movie industry.
This is how it works: Hollywood places in its movies certain watches, cars or a laptop brands; preferably worn by George Clooney, driven by Angelina Jolie or placed in front of Meg Ryan. In "The Transformers", for example, GM's Cameros lead with Megan Fox.
PPP is indirect marketing that targets oblivious movie viewers, gender notwithstanding, Catherine Banning or Will Smith could be drinking Pepsi.
The spirit and soul of a movie are sometimes compromised when its script and shooting are shaped by commercial, rather than artistic, considerations.
PPP allows for extra budgets to produce costlier gimmicks that, in turn, bring more profit. "Mission Impossible", for example, has reaped $75m in the first 10 days at the box office.
The same logic seems to apply to politics. PPP is one way to understand the sudden surge of Israel-schmoozing and Palestine abusing ahead of the US election.
Israel placement
Newt Gingrich, the former speaker of the House, and other current Republican candidates are riding Israel like Tom Cruise rides various BMW models in his "Mission Impossible" franchise.
Like action films, presidential elections are brilliantly staged and terribly expensive with many gimmicks and little substance. Except that one sells cars and gadgets, while the other sells security and special interest.
To be a fictional action hero is one thing; to lead the word's superpower requires a few doses of reality and credibility.
The in-your-face claim that the Palestinians are "invented people" by Gingrich was more blatant than a BMW placement.
When asked if he considered himself a Zionist, Gingrich didn't flinch: "I think that we've had invented Palestinian people who are in fact Arabs, and who were historically part of the Arab community. And they had a chance to go many places, and for a variety of political reasons we have sustained this war against Israel now since the nineteen-forties, and it's tragic."
A prolific writer, Gingrich produces many books with little intellectual substance. When it comes to the Middle East, the historian is ahistorical; he peddles history at the service of politics.
Some jumped on him, others defended him. A few shot back, saying it is the United States and Israel that are invented on the back of others.
Palestinian spokespersons were furious. Some went as far as writing their own personal stories to prove they did exist! As if Gingrich give a damn about the facts of life in Palestine.
But as the New Yorker editor, David Remnick put it:
"You can be sure that Gingrich did not care a whit for what Palestinians, here or in the US, would think. The Palestinian vote will not decide swing states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, or, above all, Florida; a considerable shift in the Jewish vote could."
Alas, there is no other point to this stupid statement. As Remnick said, Gingrich is ready to go very far to promote himself such as claiming that: "People like me are what stand between us and Auschwitz."
And yet, he has a lot of catching up to do with House Majority Leader, Eric Cantor, an ardent Republican Jewish supporter of Israel who reckons "the 2,000-year-old dream of a Jewish state is in jeopardy, the Palestinian culture is infused with hatred and the international community is replete with anti-Semitic vitriol".
He and the other Republican leaders and candidates speak of Israel as if it is the only country in the Middle East; as the only reliable ride in a sea of tyranny. As if nothing changed over the last year, alas.
The Republicans have gone so far out, that Israel's own friends and supporters in the US, have been repulsed including the J street lobby.
The Lobby and the rest
Behind Israel's placement is the Israel lobby that devises Israel's black operations and "ghost protocols" in the US. It stands behind much of the political promotion of Israel and the degrading the Palestinians.
So fearsome, it is referred to simply as "The Lobby". It's not only what the Lobby can do to help, but more importantly what it could do to destroy a politician.
The Lobby has been quite irresponsible in the way it throws its weight in Washington in recent years. Back in 1992, then Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, told the Lobby, for lack of better word, to shut up.
In recent days, the Lobby has alienated some of Israel's own friends among the US elite, including some in the organised American Jewish community.
The New York Times widely-read columnist Thomas Friedman wrote:
"I sure hope that Israel's prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, understands that the standing ovation he got in Congress this year was not for his politics. That ovation was bought and paid for by the Israel lobby."
Friedman stated the obvious, but also touched a nerve.
He indirectly alluded to Jewish political influence and manipulation through money, an impression those behind PPP-ing Israel want to avoid at all cost.
Read more from Marwan Bishara:
The impression they want decimated is that Israel is America's trusted ally in a dangerous and unpredictable region, with which it shares democratic values and strategic interests.
That is why there has been calls demanding apologies from the New York Times. Friedman retracted his choice of words, but not the thrust of his column.
Republican, conservative and other groups that make up the wider sphere of the Israel Lobby hire PR firms for millions of dollars to provide politicians and candidates with savvy talking points and convincing arguments in favour of Israel.
One mission too many
Generally speaking, the pro-Israeli adage and sound-bites are the brainchild of Israel lobbyists and Republican like Frank Luntz.
But even Luntz has warned: "Don't pretend that Israel is without mistakes or fault. It's not true and no one believes it".
In his how-to-market-Israel guide, he adds, "We're at a time in history when Jews in general (and Israelis in particular) are no longer perceived as the persecuted people. In fact, among American and European audiences -sophisticated, educated, opinionated, non-Jewish audiences - Israelis are often seen as the occupiers and the aggressors. With that kind of baggage, it is critical that messages from the pro-Israel spokespeople not come across as supercilious or condescending."
Tell that to the Republican candidates.
Defending the Israel right-wing coalition in the Western public sphere is becoming "mission impossible" with "the thrills and fun are quite few and far between".
This past week provided an excellent example. Hamas leader Khalid Masha'al reconciles with President Mahmoud Abbas, accepts a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders, and adopts popular non-violent resistance while Israel's military Chief of Staff Benny Gantz warned that Israel will attack Hamas controlled Gaza 'sooner or later' while his government announced the construction of new illegal settlements in the West Bank.
But those presidential candidates, desperate for the organizational, media and financial support of the Israel Lobby, are not concerned with any of any such developments. They will "love Israel to death", literally the death of Palestinians or Israelis.
That starts with "increasing all strategic aid in all forms" to "moving our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem", moves through denying Palestinian human and national rights, and ends with threats of bombing Iran.
The comedy of "outloving" Israel was best captured by US comedian Jon Stewart who graded Republican presidential candidates statements on Israel according to a Yarmulkometer.
Marwan Bishara is Al Jazeera's senior political analyst and a former professor of international relations at the American University of Paris. His latest book, The Invisible Arab: The promise and peril of the Arab revolutions, hits bookstores in January.

Collin Vest has become a staple on the diving circuit over the last four years since his freshman season in 2010, when he made a big splash with his talent. Now in his senior year, the only thing that's changed about the kid we've watched grow up is the degree of difficulty in his dives and how he approaches it mentally.
"He is by far matured as a diver when it comes to his ability. As a diver, you need to know your body. You need to know what position your arm's in, your head is in, your hips, and just to watch him develop over the years, it's an unbelievable change," says Head Coach Bob Jacobs.
What hasn't changed is Coach Jacobs' intensity on practice. He makes sure Collin gives 100% at all times because there is always room for improvement. Holding several school and pool records may be impressive, but exceeding those numbers are always top priority. He even broke one of his own records just two weeks ago!
"Set the bar up high for divers to come and be able to leave my mark. Our school and pool record, I'm hoping that maybe that will be there for a couple of years, and i know that its going to be somebody that's good that will come in and beat it," says Vest.
Collin has had a decorated career and still has one last season to continue his success. Win another district title and he could become the first triple a diver in the area to win four consecutive years in a row. No pressure, right?
""I try to block out pressure because I tend to tense up a lot when I think too much over things and because it's very hard to throw and get the arms through and circle if my shoulders are all tense."
Jacobs continued, "There's been times when we're going nuts on the board and trying to get different dives and different degrees of difficulties, but it's certainly been enjoyable and it's been a pleasure to coach him for 4 years."
Collin hopes his consistency can get the job done at districts so he can reach his goal of medaling at states.

REVIEW: Glutano Custard Cream Biscuits
Glutano Custard Cream Biscuits
My husband occasionally eats the non-gluten-free European "Hit" sandwich cookies. When I bought a package of Glutano Custard Cream Biscuits, I was reminded of his "Hit" Cookies. The packaging, a paper sleeve of cookies, is incredibly similar. So, I wondered. Would these cookies be a good gluten-free replacement for sandwich cookies?
The package describes the cookies as "Glutenfree sandwich cookie with vanilla cream filling." Not exactly earth-shattering. But we are talking about a cream filled cookie. So, what are you expecting?
Well, if you are like me, you are expecting a flavorful cookie with a soft, creamy filling. Yum!
The Glutano cookies aren't exactly a wonderful cookie with a soft filling but they aren't bad either.
As I chomped through the cookie, I noticed the texture was a little "sandy." This didn't bother me but I know that many gluten-free eaters are put off by a gritty texture. If you are one of those folks, you will want to avoid these cookies.
The taste wasn't bad. It was almost nondescript. With the exception of the sweet filling, the cookie didn't really taste like anything. It certainly didn't have the sweet vanilla flavor I was looking for.
After just one cookie, I was done. (And I am someone who is almost never done after one cookie.) The cookies weren't bad but they weren't great. As a friend of mine would say, "Why waste the calories?"
If you are looking for a nice, plain gluten-free sandwich cookies, you might like "Glutano Custard Cream Biscuits." If, however, you are looking for something with lots of flavor, I would avoid this product.
Summary: Bland, thick sandwich cookie with slightly gritty texture. Sweet and unoffensive.
Grade: B-
