Scott Horton Interviews Philip Giraldi
Former CIA officer Philip Giraldi discusses his article "NATO vs. Syria;" Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the CIA working overtly and covertly to undermine the Assad regime; how the lack of reliable news from Syria makes it hard to tell if there really is a civil war or major uprising; the worse alternatives to secular Middle East dictators who at least tolerate religious minorities; the Syrian opposition's receipt of "training" and weapons from Europe, Turkey and Libya; and how Obama wages war on the sly, using drones, covert operations and "rebel" proxy fighters on the ground.
MP3 here. (19:47)
Philip Giraldi, a former CIA officer, is a contributing editor to The American Conservative and executive director of the Council for the National Interest. He writes regularly for Antiwar.com.

The Western world buys most of the Middle-East oil at a fraction of its true value, which somehow gives its NATO Christian Crusaders the right to invade Libya, Syria and Iran in that order. Yes, and my great grandmother loves to wear combat boots.
If for no other reason then self-preservation, one might think that the Syrians rich nobility would have as their highest priority to organize a fair and unified government.
But then, often have I wondered how I would respond if my wealth was immense and it was in harm's way? For the years of accumulated agony and stress that were endured to amass wealth, surely equal motivation must there be for mortal combat to protect wealth. For a master-slave relationship is there between a man and his wealth, which is why the more wealth a man has the bigger a fool he is forced to become.
Has Hillary Clinton ever said anything that has actually turned out to be true?
Empire USA gathers its vultures for a blood fest
(1) CIA, M16 and Israel Special Forces train and equip their sadistic terrorist mercenaries.
(2) NATO Christian Crusaders move their mercenary forces and killing machines from Libya to the Turkey border with Syria.
(3) Turkey, the greediest backstabber of them all, the no-fly zone baby bombers, they prepare to move in for the kill.
Great question, Cosmo. The answer is "NO"! Hillary Clinton is a pathological liar. And despite her Yale law degree, she is not well educated beyond knowing how to double charge clients or twist and manipulate words so that "is" is no longer a simple linking verb but rather a legal-philosophical-linguistic in sophistry. As some of you will remember, the sophists, in the words of Socrates, were "those who make the better appear the worst cause, and the worst, the better cause." Which is to say, to turn things upside down and make the meanings of words shift meaning until everything is nonsense and a lie.
Hermes Trismegistus
My short answer is "No!"
What the hell can one say about The Pantsuited One that hasn't already been said? She's a statist of the vilest sort. She's a lust-for-power megalomaniac. She has no regard for the Constitution and civil liberties. She's owned by every big interest with a checkbook. Her main goal in life has been the aggrandizement of Hillary Clinton.
In short, The Pantsuited One is typical denizen of the District of Corruption.
Giraldi's latest column "Meet the Republican Chickenhawks" http://original.antiwar.com/giraldi/2011/12/21/me… is masterful.
Do as I did: If you know anyone who lives in Iowa, ship Giraldi's column off to 'em ASAP. Send it to Iowa newspapers. In sum, ladies and gentlemen, get the word out!
My gray hairs were 60 years young when Empire USA used 9-11 to lock the entire Western world in absolute darkness. Darkness being a liar's pretense of good to hid an intent to be enriched upon our misery. So, as they played that video of a jetliner turning into a ball of flame when it disappeared inside the World Trade Center, three predominant thoughts kept replaying in my mind,
(1) Finally our imperial plunder most brutal has reached its ultimate conclusion.
(2) Why all the media hype? Surely people realize that occupied Palestine has suffered a thousand times more of a holocaust and misery then this.
(3) If for no other reason then self-preservation, surely now our 51% most wealthy shall vote out of office each and every war-hawk politician in Congress.
I know, terribly naive of me to imagine that the shock of big time reality could force all the fiction to give way in a world so in love with fantasy and fairy tale. But, the hope for change shall live eternal for surely an old wisdom rings true,
"Take kindly the counsel or years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth."
Crusades most deadly — What goodness is all about
The Christian Crusades, Western Europe and NATO, all one and the same. For since the Dark Ages, they have all been Christians who labored under the illusion that only they have the inner goodness sufficient to be savior of the world. For the battle cry of their unending Crusade is the illusion that good can overcome evil — only so long as good has deadly force superior to evil.
Today in Syria two suicide bombs killed 40 and wounded over 100, which RT News reported as follows:
"reports suggest the attacks… by an increasingly well-armed section of the opposition."
"Syrian officials… violence is… the work of organized terrorist groups."
"opposition leaders… accusing the government of escalating its crackdown…"
But really, who cares who did it, all we want to know is who controls things and who ordered such a satanic thing?
Fact is, be it a democracy or dictatorship, the 50% most wealthy are always in absolute control.
So, Syria has a civil war going on inside the upper half of society, a most greed driven and self-absorbed class, and the outcome all depends on — which side can out terrorize the other.
I say 50% chance satan gave the order, 50% chance god gave the order. According to darkness/lightness also known as black and white believers these to are the ultimate order-giving, Führer, commander-in-chief powers there is. So one of them did it.
Can you refute that Ellis???
horus v seth
"I say 50% chance Satan gave the order, 50% chance god gave the order."
I say there is no God on earth giving any orders, for it there is a God he is not intervening in the affairs of man. As logically this would can have but one purpose for all this war and misery, to prove the harm in it.
I say that if there is a Satan, to his most valuable disciples would go the most valuable real estate, all excessive wealth would be a gift from the evil one and Satan would not order evil. For we are tempted to do evil and all the blood guilt would be in our criminal brains.
horus v seth
"According to darkness/lightness… the ultimate order-givers are, the Fuehrer, the commander-in-chief , the rich powers that be."
Darkness is a liar's pretense of good hiding a criminal intent to be enriched upon our misery, whereas, light is any truth that forces such illusion to give way.
As to who gives the orders in each and every government on earth, surely it is you men of the 40% educated middleclass, you the gods of society who supervise laboring men, establish a police state at home and military discipline abroad for we slow and careful thinking men. Think about, in the French Revolution that started in 1776, what class of men was it that caused many rich and noble heads to roll off the guillotine?
If you don't believe in god and satan, why do you use terms like "satanic act", "light & darkness"
You be a fake leftist or a fake religious pater?? Or just disturbed?
There is evidence to suggest that we make nuclear war now and then and with few survivors in the mountains we forget all about it. http://www.mcremo.com
Kommisar Klinton speak the truth? That's a big "negatory" good buddy.
By the way, I´ll recommend Risaralda,Caldas in Colombia. Highest up in the coffee mountains, nice warmhearted people. Will we meet ?
"9/11 attack was engineered by Bin Laden who was given safe haven by the Taliban government. That is history. And the Taliban only had to agree to give Bin Laden over to US."
News is the reality that makes history,
priceless knowledge is history,
and pure misery is it to repeat bad history.
For reality is, the US failed to give the Taliban proof that Bin Laden engineered 9/11, as they had no proof and that is why the Taliban refused to cooperate.
For Empire USA, it engineered the root cause of 9/11 by a criminal and premeditated imperialism most brutal. Which generated the vengeance that drove otherwise honorable family loving men to commit 9/11.
So, ready, willing and able is above poster to engineer a repeat of bad history, by voting for his Empire to fatten his paycheck by more funding for his military, so empire builders can go for more imperial plunder.

Cook county (Chicago) Board of Education recently put in that they will be looking to purchase organic chicken. It's a small measure at first (the article said only 2-3 meals per month per child), but if the public takes note and the idea becomes popular, it'll get really big, really fast. It's a step in the right direction. At this point, they were only able to purchase that much because that's all they could get their hands on. It's just not readily available on such a massive scale.
If the DoD could decide to purchase organic chicken we might all be able to live

aside from retouching as you mention, photographers often did "combination printing"
where they would mate 2 ( or more? ) negatives together to make a print.
they often did this with scenes that had a sky. an example of his was in the movie
"photographing fairies" ... the photographer would ask a family to bring an old photo with them
to his studio, and he would mate it with their dead son's photograph ( died in the war ) to give them one last
photograph of their "living son" ...
it doesn't seem too far of a stretch to imagine photographers exposing for clothes in one exposure and then the portrait for the second exposures
and mating them in the darkroom. if they were still doing wet plate work they could easily peel the celluloid image, place it ontop
of the other, and make a contact print with the 2 negatives. this could be done with 2 prints too, the same way
we we would cut and paste elements from one photograph to another, rephotograph it, with pencil work to mask combination
(this was the technique used in the movie i mentioned ).

Hip2Save is a nationally-recognized coupon and savings blog. Collin Morgan, mother of three and proud wife to a former Marine, began the blog in the summer of 2008 as a way to help herself, family, and friends save money. Little did she know that her hobby would turn into a full-time endeavor. Hip2Save is constantly evolving thanks to input from supportive readers and extended family members.
In order to keep up with all the deals and giveaways, Collin depends on her oldest sister, Bryn O'Kelley, and her loyal friend, Mary Farmer. Bryn and Mary are regular contributors to the website and act as HIP's sidekicks whenever Collin needs a helping hand – which is often! Like Collin, they each have three young children so there is a lot of chaos, laughter, and "un-hipness" behind the scenes.
Susan, Collin's mother, works behind the scenes and occasionally jumps in to help a reader in need. "Ma," Collin's 85-year-old grandmother, is a favorite of Hip2Save readers with her infectious laughter and spunkiness (in fact, you can hear a little bit of "Ma" by hovering over the rocking chair at the bottom right of Hip2Save.com :D) . She accompanies Collin on Hip2Save events whenever asked.
Collin's Story:
My frugal journey started after the birth of my first child. My husband was an active duty Marine. We were young (still are! ;) ) and were not prepared for the many responsibilities that come with adulthood and parenting.
In all honesty, our focus was way more on materialistic things – making sure that the kiddos looked adorable and that we did too. Going out to buy new clothes and driving flashy cars were at the top of our list. We worked hard to make it look, at least on the outside, that our lives were perfect. The sad truth was that we had started digging a big financial hole – one that was going to be very difficult to get out of. I was depressed on the inside, but I just ignored that feeling and pushed it to the side by purchasing more and pretending. Soon enough, our credit card debt was out of control, and a vicious cycle had begun. The more depressed I became, the more I spent.
(Collin's 3 kiddos – Ayden, Piper, and Nicholas)
I began blogging, under the name of Hip2Save, as a way to chart a new path for myself and to get my spending habits under control. My family and friends were my readers and my support base. Blogging gave me the courage to try out new behaviors, use my imagination, and explore new possibilities. At the same time, it helped me shift my priorities: Family and the simple pleasures in life came to the forefront, and material things took a back seat.
Fast forward ahead: My life has changed in so many positive ways. I have discovered that it really is Hip to save and a whole lot more fun and rewarding than overspending and dealing with debt. I have climbed out of a very deep hole and am learning to be accountable to myself, my family, and now to you too.
Who knows what's around the corner, but, with all you amazing Hip2Savers in my life, I definitely look forward to the journey ahead.

Star Wars: Outbound Flightby Timothy Zahn
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
It began as the ultimate voyage of discovery — only to become the stuff of lost Republic legend...and a dark chapter in Jedi history. Now, at last, acclaimed author Timothy Zahn returns to tell the whole extraordinary story of the remarkable — and doomed — Outbound Flight Project.
The Clone Wars have yet to erupt when Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth petitions the Senate for support of a singularly ambitious undertaking. Six Jedi Masters, twelve Jedi Knights, and fifty thousand men, women, and children will embark — aboard a gargantuan vessel, equipped for years of travel — on a mission to contact intelligent life and colonize undiscovered worlds beyond the known galaxy. The government bureaucracy threatens to scuttle the expedition before it can even start — until Master C'baoth foils a murderous conspiracy plot, winning him the political capital he needs to set in motion the dream of Outbound Flight.
Or so it would seem. For unknown to the famed Jedi Master, the successful launch of the mission is secretly being orchestrated by an unlikely ally: the evil Sith Lord, Darth Sidious, who has his own reasons for wanting Outbound Flight to move forward...and, ultimately, to fail.
Yet Darth Sidious is not the mission's most dangerous challenge. Once underway, the starship crosses paths at the edge of Unknown Space with the forces of the alien Chiss Ascendancy and the brilliant mastermind best known as "Thrawn." Even Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi, aboard Outbound Flight with his young Padawan student, Anakin Skywalker, cannot help avert disaster. Thus, what begins as a peaceful Jedi mission is violently transformed into an all-out war for survival against staggering odds — and the most diabolical of adversaries.
Timothy Zahn's unique mix of espionage, political gamesmanship, and deadly interstellar combat breathes electrifying life into a Star Wars legend.
"Another puzzle piece in the Star Wars universe falls into place with this action-packed prequel to Hugo-winner Zahn's Star Wars: Survivor's Quest (2004). Familiar characters such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, young Anakin Skywalker and the evil Lord Palpatine (aka Darth Sidious) make appearances, but the true star is Commander Thrawn, a red-eyed, blue-skinned alien. On the Outbound Flight, a mammoth Jedi exploration and colonization vessel sent to far-off reaches of the cosmos to identify potential Force-users and hunt down a lost knight, Jedi Master Jorus C'baoth struggles with an inappropriate lust for power. Thrawn's attack on the ship (secretly influenced by Darth Sidious's agents) insures his own eventual exile from his race and sets other sinister wheels in motion. As these old and new characters wrestle with difficult moral questions, Zahn deftly portrays their inner struggles in fluid prose, while also affirming his status as a skillful creator of dazzling futuristic worlds. Though more time with the doomed Outbound Flight's passengers, who are the subject of Survivor's Quest, would round out the story, the book is nonetheless an enthralling page-turner sure to appeal to its target audience." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
It began as the ultimate voyage of discovery only to become the stuff of lost Republic legend and a dark chapter in Jedi history. Zahn returns to tell the whole extraordinary story of the remarkable and doomed Outbound Flight Project.

What a lot of people do not know is that I follow the Top 100 closely. Because it is difficult to keep truly accurate numbers on that many dogs, I normally only share the Top Ten.
However, I am a Terrier guy and for the last two years it's been tough for the earth dogs to break into the Top Ten. Therefore, I am going to share with all of you the top dogs in each group and where they sit relative to the other group leaders.
Take a look at out Top Ten All Breeds. You will note that there are four…count 'em, four…Sporting Dogs in the Top Ten. If you read my analysis of the group entries last week, you know that the reasons behind this are complex and include the obvious fact that we have a whole bunch of really good gun dogs out this year.
As you can see from the above chart, the Number One Sporting Dog in the U.S. is the German Wirehaired Pointer, GCH CH Mt View's Ripsnorter Silver Charm, who is also the Number One Dog All Breeds. Oakley is followed in the Sporting Group and the All Breed rankings by the English Springer Spaniel, GCH CH Wynmoor Champagne Supernova. Last year's Number One Dog All Breeds, the Black Cocker Spaniel, GCH CH Casablanca's Thrilling Seduction, is the third highest scoring Sporting Dog and the Number Five Dog All Breeds.
You will not find any Hound in the Top Ten All Breeds at this time. In fact, you will only find one Hound in the Top 20, the Whippet, GCH CH Starline's Chanel. She is followed in the group rankings by the Bloodhound, GCH CH Quiet Creek's Kiss and Tell & the American Foxhound, GCH CH Kiarry's Pandora's Box, who picked up another BIS this past weekend. There are two Working Dogs in the Top Ten All Breeds, the Doberman Pinscher, GCH CH Protocol Veni Vidi Vici, now in the Number Six All Breed spot, and the Kuvasz, GCH CH Szumeria's Wildwood Silver Six Pence, holding down the Number Seven position. Rounding out our Working Group top three is the Boxer, GCH CH R and G's Mystical Dancer, who has nailed down the Number 12 All Breed position. Danny is likely to better that with a BIS this Saturday in Missouri.
We do have a Terrier in the Top Ten, the Kerry Blue, who has moved into the Number Three berth. However, the Number Two & Three Terriers, the Wire Fox, CH Afterhours Paint the Sky & the Border, GCH CH Meadowlake's Simply Sinful, have yet to break into the Top 25. The Toy Group is hotly contested every year, and this year is no different. While the Number One Toy Dog, the Affenpinscher, GCH CH Banana Joe V Tani Kazari, was in England picking up a breed win at Crufts, the Number Two Toy, the Miniature Pinscher, GCH CH Marlex Classic Red Glare, was collecting back-to-back BIS in Florida and the Number Three, the Pekingese, GCH CH Windemere's Dusting Of White At Pevyne, was padding his resume with a BIS and a Group One in Seattle, WA. The three are currently the Number Nine, Ten & 13 Dogs All Breeds.
Last year we had two Standard Poodles and a Bichon Frise in the all breed Top Ten. Now we have but one Non-Sporting Dog in that exclusive group, the Standard Poodle, GCH CH Jaset's Satisfaction, the Number Four Dog. Waiting for an opening is the Number 11 Dog, the Standard Poodle, GCH CH Brighton Lakeridge Encore. After picking up a big rosette in Seattle this weekend, she just might rejoin the crowd. Coming in at the Number Three spot in the Non-Sporting Group is the Miniature Poodle, GCH CH Surrey Sugar Baby who has broken into the all breed Top Twenty as the Number 16 Dog. One Herding Dog is threatening to join the Top Ten as well, the Bouvier des Flandres, GCH CH Rocheuses Me and My Shadow of Cornus, now the Number 14 Dog All Breeds. Casper will likely improve on that after picking up a BIS in Kansas yesterday. Behind Casper are the Number Two & Three Herding Dogs, the Australian Cattle Dog, GCH CH Carben Copy's If The Shoe Fits, and the Puli, GCH CH Cordmaker Rumpus Bumpus, neither of whom are working their way up the rankings.
Now, many of these dogs got a late start this year, missing the critical January-point feeding frenzy, but many will be in Louisville this week, hoping to pick up enough points to make up some ground on the leaders. Next week, I'll let you know who the breakout performers were at Louisville. And that's today's Back Story.

Blood meal analysis of ticks carrying Lyme Disease in the Eastern United States
Determination of critical components of pathogen transmission is essential in the development of effective interventions against important tick-borne infectious disease threats such as Lyme disease. Accordingly, we seek to identify the larval host of the tick Ixodes scapularis, the principal vector of Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme's Disease in the northeastern United States. To achieve this goal, we are currently developing PCR-based techniques for the identification of the reservoir host blood-meal in Ix. scapularis nymphal ticks based on amplification of small species-specific fragments of the ctyb mtDNA gene. This project is in collaboration with Deborah Lanterbecq, Michael Reddy (Graduate Student, EPH), Nicole Ayache (Undergraduate student), and Durland Fish (EPH Vector Epidemiology Laboratory).

Root Institute for Wisdom Culture
A Buddhist meditation centre, providing an ideal location for
the study and practice of meditation and philosophy.
Additionally, the Centre has established a number of social welfare
projects, benefiting Bodhgaya and the neighbouring villages.
Root Institute, located in Bodhgaya, India, where the Buddha attained enlightenment
under the Bodhi-tree, is one of a number of FPMT centres founded by
Lama Thubten Yeshe Rinpoche and Kyabje Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
The Centre now operates under the patronage and spiritual guidance of Lama Zopa Rinpoche.
Buddhist Meditation and Study
At Root Institute, people of any nationality and religion can study and meditate on the Buddha's teachings as explained in the Tibetan Mahayana tradition. Each winter, from October to April, we offer a series of introductory courses and intermediate courses and retreats covering a wide range of Buddhist topics. These meditation and philosophy courses are designed to complement each other. They emphasise a practical application of Buddhism designed to increase compassion, wisdom, peace and happiness in one's daily life.

The central Indian state of Bihar is the poorest state in this country of more than one billion people. Our programme of social welfare projects originated in 1991 when a destitute man was found lying in the road close to death.
Poverty, illiteracy and hopelessness are at the root of many problems we encounter. The most common illnesses we see are malnutrition, diabetes, HIV infection and AIDS, and cerebral palsy in children. Besides treating illnesses, we emphasise awareness and preventative education. Read more...

Western + Elmore Leonard + AMC = Likely awesomeness.
Rob Schneider had a prior commitment.
I'm thinking she'll nail the part.
The actress may or may not play William H. Macy's ex-girlfriend, which could only happen in a movie.
The prequel should be an adaptation of this image.A prequel of Jackie Brown has been written based off the novel The Switch by Elmore Leonard, which is a prequel to his novel Rum Punch, the book Quentin Tarantino read and then disregarded when making Jackie Brown. Tarantino has given his blessing on The Switch, but is not involved, so that means the source material probably won't get completely bitch-slapped. Dan Schechter wrote the screenplay and the search for a director and cast is about to begin. Jackie Brown characters Ordell Robbie (Samuel L. Jackson) and Louis Gara (Robert De Niro) originated from The Switch, but Tarantino decided to focus on sassy Jackie and Motown music when he made his film. The prequel will follow young Ordell and Louis who, after hitting it off in prison, decide to kidnap the wife of a wealthy land developer and hold her for ransom. The twist? He doesn't want his wife back! This mashup of Overboard and Ernest Goes to Camp through the adapted eyes of Elmore Leonard is sure to be a… Nope, that word doesn't exist. (JoBlo)

On Sunday we appeared at East Hanover Comic Book Expo, our first time at an expo in New Jersey! Having just finished two cons in New York – Anime Festival and Big Apple – it was refreshing being in a smaller, more relaxed environment. Among us were over 250,000 comics up for sale, and a close knit group of artists and collectors. Daxiong was the invited guest artist, thanks to John Paul, our generous host and the show promoter. He had said this to say:
"I have organized over 400 comic book conventions in Northern NJ during the past twenty years, with countless comic book professionals as guests. To say that I'm honored by Daxiong's appearance at one of my events is a gross understatement."
Well, we had a blast! Here are some commissions from the day – including Daxiong's first ever drawing of Spiderman:
Daxiong adds that the kind-hearted people here in the U.S. have moved him deeply. He recalls that at the end of the expo, an elderly gentleman came by and said, "Thank you for your hard work in standing up for freedom. I'm also sorry for the persecution you had to go through." Daxiong hopes to bring the splendor of genuine Chinese culture to the world.
Believe it or not, this was our last con of the year in the United States. Be sure to pick up some of this year's favorites: DC's Top 10, Justice League 80-Page Giant, and coming out Jan 20, 2010, "Star Wars Adventures: Luke Skywalker and the Treasure of the Dragonsnakes."

Just As Bright – On Tuesday I talked about Jean Segura as one of the bright spots of this early Brewers season. Just as bright & impressive has been the play of Norichika Aoki. Coming into last season Aoki was pretty much penciled into being a bench player as many had doubts his game would transfer to the Major Leagues. Once injuries forced Corey Hart to take over first base fulltime, Aoki was slotted into right field & proved he belonged as an everyday starter. This season Aoki's not only continuing to prove he has MLB ability & talent, he's making a great case as to why the Brewers should be seriously considering extending & keeping him around. The only thing going against Aoki is his age, but baseball players aren't like football players where being over 30 usually means the beginning of a decline. If Aoki continues his solid play & I have no reason to think he won't I hope we see the Brewers making the offer to keep him on the team for a few years to come.

STILLWATER — Todd Monken always liked the odd scheduling quirk that gave Oklahoma State a bye week both before and after its Big 12 opener against Texas.
Oklahoma State football: Cowboys' bye week will be used to make tweaks to offense
The Cowboy offensive coordinator's logic was that four games in six weeks would allow an offense with a bevy of young skill players — most notably, of course, true freshman quarterback Wes Lunt — additional time to get comfortable before the meat of the season began.
Now that first open week before the No. 12 Longhorns come to Stillwater will be used for something different — to tweak the Cowboys' scheme to cater more to backup QB-turned-emergency starter J.W. Walsh.
"Obviously, we have to do things differently," Monken said. "There's no way around it."
The exact diagnosis of Lunt's left knee injury, which knocked him out of Saturday's 65-24 OSU victory on the sixth play of the game, is still unknown. But it's safe to assume that he probably will not be healed in time for the Texas game, meaning Walsh will likely make his first-career start against the Longhorns.
It's clear Lunt and Walsh have different strengths, and that Lunt is the better fit to run OSU's throw-first spread system. That's a large reason why Lunt ultimately won the starting quarterback job out of spring practice, and Walsh is the run-throw guy coaches have been building a package for to give defense a change-up look.
But changing quarterbacks does not mean the Cowboys can completely overhaul their offense, or dust off the Zac Robinson playbook. OSU's current spread is what Walsh has learned in his year-plus in Stillwater. And it's what the offensive linemen, receivers and running backs know, as well.
"It won't do any good just to create stuff and not have everybody be able to execute it," Monken said. "You're better off doing what you do. Sure, so we take some things, take advantage of (Walsh) and maybe some other things, but you can't just wholesale change.
"Otherwise, you're a phony to what you believe in, because we won't be any good at it. You either believe in something — you can tweak — or you don't."

Watch any surfing documentary, from "Whipped!" to "Riding Giants," and you'll hear the dudes speak — in hushed tones — about the treacherous and epic waves that show up off the coast of Northern California when the conditions are just right. The Mavericks break is legendary, and for years, was considered some sort of myth by those who surfed and had never seen it.
Movie review: 'Chasing Mavericks
"Chasing Mavericks" is about the days when that break was acknowledged as real, and the teenager — Jay Moriarity — who became famous there.
Jonny Weston is Jay, a curly-headed blond who has gotten the surfing bug from his somewhat standoffish neighbor, Frosty. The older surfer, played by Gerard Butler at his most gruffly charming, has a job — roofing — a gorgeous wife (Abigail Spencer) and a growing family. But his passion is surfing. All flowing locks, a regular Adonis-on-a-long-board, Frosty is one of the "children of the tides," he poetically narrates. And his secret is Mavericks.
In a brief prologue, we learn of Jay's working-poor background — his alcoholic, semi-employed divorced mom (Elisabeth Shue) and his absent father. Cooper Timberline plays the 8-year old Jay, who tapes together a busted board, braves bullies, gets his nose bloodied by the surf, but who sticks with it to become the best surfer kid on the block by the time he's 15.
He lionizes Frosty, and stows away on the guy's ancient Ford Econoline van when Frosty sneaks off to Mavericks, of which only a quartet of veteran surfers are aware. They know what the conditions are and are skilled enough to handle waves as high "as five-story buildings, a thousand tons of water pounding you, holding you down."
Those are Frosty's warnings to the boy. But when his wife points out that "there are all kinds of sons," Frosty mentors the kid — trains him for that magical three-month window when conditions make Mavericks an epic ride.
The dynamic here is that Jay is the more grown up of the two. He's keeping his lonely, depressed mother afloat and employed. Frosty is missing his daughter's childhood, ditching work, lying to the wife to surf.

*Juneuary: A word derived from the combination of June and January. Used to describe crappy weather in June, because although it's supposed to be getting close to summer, it still looks and feels like January outside. (Source: Urban Dictionary)
I've hijacked the term for this blog post to be a word derived from the combination of June and January, used to describe excellent weather in January, because although it's supposed to be the middle of winter, it still feels like June outside.
Clap, clap, clap for the Ridiculously Resilient Ridge.
January was so uncharacteristically sunny and dry that I was able to hike over 100 miles that month. Specifically, 108.5 miles with 28,000′ of climbing. Most of my wandering was in the Gorge, where you could navigate dry trails and peak out on sunny summits for 200-mile views over a sea of valley fog.
The month started with a "hardy" hike up Hardy Ridge to Phlox Point and then over to the summit of Hamilton Mountain.
Then there was that amazing Birthday Hike.
Then it rained for a short spell and I got a little cabin fever, so Karl and I went for a beautiful stroll along the Eagle Creek in Clackamas, a dark and primordial old growth forest filled with fairies and mushrooms.
But then it was back to sunshine and 70 degrees on the mountain, so up, up, up we go!
I wanted to do some exploring in the Table Mountain Complex and accidentally found a new-to-me trail (former railroad grade) that led to a new-to-me jeep track, that led to a new-to-everyone steep bushwhack up the west side of Table Mountain, which led to this stunning view at the top. (Special kudos to my hiking partner that day, who was game for all of that nonsense!)
And because I missed the objective of the first visit to Table Mountain, I had to go back to do what I intended to do the first time. The weather was a little different and provided some special microclimate gifts above 3,000′.
Then I got a "map" of all the "trails" in the Table Mountain Complex and went back for some more exploring in the Hamilton Creek drainage and around Cedar Mountain on game trails and long-forgotten logging roads.
That day we did a two-fer thanks to a canceled afternoon obligation. After hiking around Cedar Mountain, hiked the Cape Horn loop before it closed for falcon nesting season. The wind gusts in the Gorge topped 100 MPH, which made for some exciting cliffside overlooks. Here I am, forever immortalized on the internets, hanging onto Oscar, a tree, and my hat at one such viewpoint.
That same weekend was topped off with an incredible 15-mile circumnavigation of the Restricted Area #3 on the north side of Mt. St. Helens, from the Hummocks to Coldwater Peak and back along the Boundary Trail. There was so little snow that we wore Microspikes for 3/4 of the circuit, but carried snowshoes the entire way (for "training" purposes).
Juneuary. The good kind.

Due to the outpouring of response to Matthew Lee Anderson's article on the New Evangelical Scandal in last year's Winter issue, we chose to follow this article up with responses from John Mark Reynolds of Biola and Francis Beckwith of Baylor, as well as an essay from Mr. Anderson responding to his critics. We shall be posting the entirety of our Summer 2009 issue shortly, but in the meantime, here is the text of Prof. Reynolds' essay to tide you over.
Matthew Lee Anderson, a rising new media public intellectual, has written an article worthy of time and attention. He wishes to inform us in his recent piece "The New Evangelical Scandal" (appearing in the Winter 2008 issue of THE CITY) that the Evangelical youth are not, in fact, okay. This is a thankless task that opens up the writer, even one as bright as Anderson, to immediate scorn, especially if he is young. The tired will respond that the youth are fine, that people are always worrying about them, and that Mr. Anderson will understand all of this when he is older.

As a Navy guy, I have had the honor and privilege of serving in many retirements. I've MC'd 'em, been a flag boy, award boy, retirement officer. . . you name it.
The last retirement I served in was aboard the USS Midway. We were in Service Dress Blues (SBDs.) And the retirement was set for 10 or 11 o'clock. (1000 or 1100 for you Navy salts.) Imagine a gray flight deck and us in SDBs. Hot, yes. I was the awards boy, passing the guest of honor, an Admiral, the retiring Captain's awards, plaques, and letters. And then the Admiral presented them.
We sweated our way through it. When I heard that American Idol was filming on the Midway, the same aircraft carrier moored downtown, I wondered if it was going to be as hot. I checked the date when it had been shot (October), so I doubt it. You contestants really lucked out.
Apparently, the Navy episode is airing Sunday, right after the 49ers whup up the Giants:
This week's return of America's favorite singing competition will bring a new twist: A special primetime episode will air after Sunday's NFC Championship game (San Francisco 49ers vs. the New York Giants) on Fox-TV.
The "Idol" episode (featuring auditions from the USS Midway air craft carrier in San Diego) is expected to air from 10-11 p.m. . .
According to media reports, an estimated 9,000 hopefuls auditioned at Petco Park last July, then some were invited back to sing in front of "Idol" judges Randy Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler in October on the USS Midway.

Things to do with BOUNCE...the stuff you use in your dryer:
Repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors
during mosquito season.
Eliminates static electricity from your television screen. Since Bounce
is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen
with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling.
Dissolves soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a used sheet of Bounce.
Freshens the air in your home. Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a
drawer or hang one in the closet.
Prevents thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of
Bounce to eliminate the static cling on the thread before sewing.
Eliminates static cling from pantyhose. Rub a damp, used sheet of Bounce
over the hose.
Prevents musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty
luggage before storing.
Freshens the air in your car. Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.
Cleans baked-on food from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in the pan, fill with
water, let sit overnight,and sponge clean. The anti-static agents apparently
weaken the bond between the food and the pan while the fabric softening
agents soften the baked-on food.
Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.
Collects cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will
magnetically attract all the loose hairs.
Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.
Wipes up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce
will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
Eliminates odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at
the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.
Deodorizes shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or
sneakers overnight so they'll smell great in the morning.
Things to do with Coca-Cola:
To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl. Let the
"real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke
removes stains from vitreous china.
To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a
crumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca Cola.
To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over
the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
To loosen a rusted bolt: Apply a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted
bolt for several minutes.
To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan; wrap the
ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished,
remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown
To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into a load of greasy
clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will
help loosen grease stains.
It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

Interrelationships Among Decentering and Behavioral Ratings in a Therapeutic Camp Setting
Keller, H. R., et-al
Journal of Genetic Psychology, 129.1 ()113-120
Examine how role taking skills and interpersonal skills are related. Assess the impact, of a therapeutic program designed to modify problem behaviors on decentering.
23 children, ages 10-13, labeled as emotionally disturbed, attending a 7-week residential camp program designed to modify behavior problems. 14 children involved in a summer remedial education program served as a control group.
Pre-, post- test, Feffer's Role Taking Task (RTT) using 4 cards from Children's Apperception Test (CAT-Human Figures), 33-item behavior checklist, sociometric ratings by counselors and peers, final evaluations (18-item list).
- No significant differences between experimental and control group pre-tests.
- No significant change in decentering for either experimental or control group in post-tests.
- Significant correlation between behavior checklist, Role Taking Task and social effectiveness.
- No other significant correlations found.
- "...failed to demonstrate that decentering could be altered as a result of an intense socialization experience."

B&N turns to Google, not Microsoft, for apps base
Nook tablets will now feature full access to Google Play, ignoring ties with B&N's digital partner Microsoft
Published: 3 May, 2013
READ MORE: US | App Store | Tablet | Android
When Microsoft invested in Barnes & Noble's digital business, there was plenty of speculation that a Windows e-reader and mini-tablet would soon emerge. However, as Microsoft is reportedly ready to debut a 7-inch Surface RT model, its partner has introduced the Google Play apps and content store to its Nook range.
So much for a Microsoft/Nook platform, then, but B&N's move could still send a strong signal to its investor - that it's tough competing with a niche software base. Lacking the massive reach and brand power of its direct competitor Amazon, B&N has struggled to establish Nook as a digital product in its own right, separate from its bookselling activities. Opening the gadget up with access to all the Google Play offerings should make the latest Nook models, the HD and HD Plus, more mainstream, and a more direct alternative to other small-sized tablets such as Google's own Nexus 7 or the Amazon Kindle Fire.
The holiday season was a disappointing one for Nook but B&N's CEO William Lynch said in an interview that the support for Play would make a real difference. "It opens up a whole world of content and really gives HD and HD Plus a unique position," he said. "There's no question this is going to accelerate sales."
However, the recognition that users want access to a wealth of content, and to mainstream apps like Facebook - and, even, Amazon Kindle - does cast some doubt over B&N's strategy of differentiating itself with unique content and user experience, It recently pledged to focus more on
digital content, including books, films and popular apps, while beginning to pull back on investment in the digital hardware division.
In the quarter to January 26, Nook revenue declined to $316m, from $426m the year earlier. Lynch said his firm had learned, from that quarter, that "the number one reason for non-buyers in the tablet market, as it related to Nook, was the lack of breadth and apps ... the one area where we were deficient."
Sarah Rotman Epps, senior analyst with Forrester Research, told The New York Times: "You can't change the fundamentals of Barnes & Noble's brand and their customer footprint and the economics of their business, but adding more Android features makes this product more appealing to more customers."
To date, B&N has sold more than 10m Nook e-readers and tablets in the US, since launching in 2009.

There's a general conception that the Internal Revenue Services is too understaffed at tax time to go after anyone but high rollers and blatant cheats.
Don't believe it.
While it's true that the IRS only audits a small percentage of returns, government officials are getting smarter about which taxpayers are the likeliest to be overstating deductions or underreporting income.
Central Georgia's unemployment rate continues to dip, falling from 7.8 to 7.7 percent from December to January.
The rate has declined mostly because the amount of new layoffs decreased by 41 percent, according to a release.

Westminster repeats its tournament championship
In 2009, Westminster captured the regular-season Frontier Conference men's basketball championship as well as the league tournament. It was a first for the school.
Westminster repeated the feat Monday night, but its 13th consecutive victory of 2010 wasn't easy.
The No.4-ranked Griffins needed a strong final kick and 22 second-half points from Ben Walker to halt No. 22 Montana Western's upset bid and advance to the NAIA Tournament with a 76-68 victory at Behnken Field House.
Jeramie Hopson, Westminster's lone returning starter, wasn't impressed by the feat.
"They're all the same," said Jeramie Hopson. "Winning is winning."
That's about all the Griffins (26-5) have done lately. While the Griffins' 1-3 start to the season is now ancient history, a new and tougher test awaits.
"This whole season has been special," Westminster coach Tommy Connor said. "We've overachieved. I'm real happy for them."
Although the Griffins would have had an at-large NAIA berth had they lost, Connor knows seeding means everything. He takes his ninth team to the national tournament, which will begin March 17.
"It's all about matchups," he said. "Can we advance? Sure we can. We could also lose in the first round."
Throughout the first half Monday and part of the second, the Griffins didn't play like the team with a 13-1 home record. Their three all-conference performers, Weston Anderson, Blair Prowse and Walker were a combined 5-for-15 from the field and 2-for-6 from the foul line.
Michael Stockton and Tanner Gregory came off the bench to deliver 10 important points. Stockton was also involved in a bizarre ending to the first half that may have lifted the Griffins' sagging spirits.
Down eight with a half-second showing on the clock, Stockton prepared to inbound the ball under his own basket. However, the pass clipped the corner of the backboard and caromed to Gregory. While everyone on the court froze, Gregory buried the jumper.
Prowse finally converted the Griffins' first three-pointer midway through the second half. The three and Hopson's hustle on the offensive glass got Westminster rolling, outscoring the Bulldogs 25-16 the final seven minutes.
"It helped," said Walker, who scored 78 points in the three-game tournament. Connor felt his 6-foot-7 post should have been the league's player of the year.
"He's been leading the way for us," Connor said.
Women's basketball
The Frontier Conference's women's basketball champion will be determined today when 9th-ranked Westminster (26-5) plays No. 13 Lewis-Clark (27-5) at 7 p.m. in Behnken Field House.

Westminster advances to its ninth NAIA Tournament under coach Tommy Connor.

For best results begin with deep moisturizing shampoo. After rinsing remove excess water. The amount of product to use will vary with hair volume and length. Massage Mane 'n Tail Deep Moisturizing Conditioner into scalp and hair, leave on for 1 to 2 minutes and then rinse thoroughly. Style as usual.
This is the best conditioner, it can be used on all types of blonde hair. I use this product to keep my hair even toned. It gives my hair some shine. These give a nice color to my hair.
This conditioner contains silk protein, pomegranate and olive leaf. It is made with 100% organic extracts and it is safe, fresh. It is a natural ingredient. It has a pleasant fragrance. It leaves my hair feeling moisturized. I am really happy with this conditioner, the smell of this conditioner is awesome.
This product works fine on my thin, fine hair, without weighing it down or making my hair greasy. I was surprised. There is a better shampoo and conditioner but I cant find it now. VO5 herbal therapy Pomegrante and grapeseed shampoo and conditioner works the best it the world. Ive been a shampoo shopper looking desperatly for something that works w/o weighing down or feeling greasy. the pomegrante is the one! if you cant find it, this one is second best.
It has a great smell - light florally. I love that the bottle is sort of inverted with the cap on the bottom so when you're almost out of product, it is still easy to get out of the bottle.
It is not soft and creamy, it is hard like Lard. It smells great and it really helps dry hair. It seems more like a dressing you would leave on curly coarse hair rather than using like a rinse-out conditioner.
