BACK TO SCHOOL: TLC Academy starts classes
SAN ANGELO, Texas - TLC Academy teacher Amber Vasquez's classroom door Monday morning was decorated with cutouts of a guitar, musical notes each containing the name of the kindergartners in her class, and the words "TLCA rocks."
Judging by the public charter school's 990 students — its highest enrollment since it opened in 2009 — parents and schoolchildren tend to agree.
Like most of the students in Vasquez's class, Brady Stewart, 5, appeared at ease just minutes into his first day of school.
Standing outside his classroom with their daughter CheyLee, Brady's parents, Jeff and Cori Stewart, discussed their decision to enroll their son at Texas Leadership Charter Academy.
"He's a young 5-year-old," Jeff Stewart said. "He's a summer baby, so we were not sure whether kindergarten was going to be a deal where he'd do it once or twice. Depending on how this year goes, he could stay here" to attend first grade in lieu of repeating kindergarten at a school elsewhere.
Friends of the Stewarts praised the school for its curriculum and teachers, Stewart said, which prompted them to enroll Brady there.
TLCA "offers a culture I think parents want," said Walt Landers, the school's CEO and chancellor. "You see it in some of the small districts in outlying areas where there's strong values and discipline. We've (also) tried to offer that private school atmosphere. All of that is working for us."
Though TLCA cannot deny admission to prospective students who are behind academically, it can discriminate on the basis of behavior or disciplinary issues, Landers said.
"The kids we're having come (here) are typically good kids even though (some) may be behind on education," he said. "Now I can take those kids that are behind and watch them excel. That's what I think parents are loving."
Further evidence of the school's success is in the numbers: As a public, free charter school, TLCA is in its fourth year of operation, and its enrollment climbs each year. In its first year, the senior class had eight students; this year it will have 33, Landers said.
There are 100 students at various grade levels on the school's waiting list, and TLCA recently applied to have its enrollment cap increased to 1,500, Landers said.
A demand for more spots exists even at the preschool, he said, where students learn a foundation of structure and routine that evolves at each subsequent grade level.
The first few days of school this week, Landers said, students in pre-K and kindergarten will learn "eagle tails" — clasping their hands behind their backs; "bubbles" — keeping their mouths closed; and how to correctly form a line.
Once the children reach sixth grade, they may serve as hall monitors or greeters, he said, for a "student-led and student-run operation." In junior high, the students may take Civil Air Patrol or leadership as a class elective. Civil Air Patrol is taught during school hours by Goodfellow Air Force Base personnel.
Word-of-mouth about the school and its unique offerings has "no doubt" led to its growth, Landers said, adding, "I don't even have to advertise now."
Unlike the public school districts, which by law could not start their fall semester before next Monday, TLCA could choose its start day, part of the allowance given it to ignore certain state laws as a public charter school. TLCA also can and does require students to wear uniforms but still must administer the statewide standardized exams.
For Audra Velez, whose son Adrian started the first grade at TLCA on Monday, awareness about the school started with relatives. In addition to Adrian, Velez's nephew and three nieces also attend the school.
"I love the teachers here and the curriculum and the fact that they have small classes," she said.
Adrian, too, enjoys school so much that he wasn't even dreading his first day back, she said.
"I think the thing he's most excited about is not having a nap time this year," she said.
Christine Wilmoth, principal of TLCA's elementary campus, said Monday morning that it was great to see all the children smiling in anticipation of their first day back.
"We had some tears — mostly from mamas," she said with a laugh. "I think it's going to be a great year. The kids are so excited."
That includes Brady Stewart, his father said, adding, "We're more nervous than he is."
From the hallway outside Brady's vibrantly colored new classroom, Cori Stewart had a clear view of her son, who sat in a chair marked with his name, book ended by two other pint-size children wearing matching royal blue polo-style shirts and khaki pants.
"I'm not too worried about him," she said lightly.

PAWS to Read - Roo
Roo and her human Kim Brown will be available on the third Thursday of the month from 3:30-5:00 p.m.
All PAWS activities are held in the Children's Room.
Readers earn a stamp on a record card for every 15 minutes that they read to one of our dogs. When he/she has earned 4 stamps, they will receive a "Pawsome Reader" tag to wear as a necklace or use as a zipper tag. If readers complete a second card, they a "Pawsome Reader" dog tag.
The theory is, that by reading out loud to the dog, who doesn't judge how well the child reads, the child's self consciousness disappears and she gains the confidence needed to become a better reader.

We are going to be selling our house and looking for a bigger one. I would love some advice from those who have sold houses before as to how to deal with making the house look more appealing for sale. I have read articles about staging a home - I'm not looking for how to stage our home per se. I'm really asking for something more basic about logistics: our house is very crowded in all the rooms except my daughter's. We have no place to put any of the stuff as the garage is already full (see why we're moving?!?!!). Logistically speaking, how does all of this happen? I have gone to many open houses. The houses are never cluttered and I always wonder where all their stuff is (though of course, they could just be neat). Do you have to get move the stuff just for a broker's open house and then once more for a regular folks' open house or do you have to get rid of the stuff longer term? The only reason our place is cluttered is as our daughter got older, her stuff got bigger. And we just all have too much stuff. While we can work on getting rid of stuff we don't need, most of this stuff is stuff we need, but simply don't have a good place for. Thanks in advance - we have never been in the position before, obviously. This is our first home.

Styles Pop Guitar and Vocals
Counties Berkshire • Bristol • Gloucestershire • Somerset • Wiltshire
This Bristol Acoustic Duo are a professional acoustic covers act with many years of experience on the pub, club and function circuit in Bristol, Bath, the South West and further afield. The duo are impressing audiences across the country with their unique take on rock and pop classics such as The Cure's 'Friday I'm In Love' or Norman Greenbaum's 'Spirit In The Sky'. Their quality acoustic set also takes in 80's pop-rock like Michael Jackson's 'Leave Me Alone' and Bon Jovi's 'You Give Love A Bad Name', as well recent alt-rock hits like The Killer's 'Human', complemented by selections of a more laid-back vibe including faithful renditions of Beatles and Beach Boys standards.
Such a large and varied repertoire of popular songs, delivered with skilled guitar interplay and augmented by the frontman's natural charisma and instinct to entertain, make the duo's twin acoustic guitar sound and vocal harmonies ideal live music for a wedding or birthday party, equally suited to a two hour party performance or an intimate after dinner session.
The duo is made up of a singer/songwriter with airplay on radio 2, and a talented young musician who recently released his first EP on the back of a well received performance at the nationally famous Bristol Harbour Festival.
Whatever the reason for hiring a live band you can count on the versatility of the duo's sound and on their professionalism. The duo provide their own quality P.A. system, engineering and lighting rig, as well as a comprehensive and tailored DJ service playing a mix of classic songs from over the decades through to the present day.
"The duo played a live acoustic set and provided a DJ service at our wedding on August 21st, 2010. They were extremely professional both in the lead up the day and on the day itself - despite having to work with us remotely in Dubai via email to organise things and then enduring some pretty horrendous weather during set up on the day."
"They made the effort to find out what kind of music we liked and did a great job both playing a live set (their version of The Killers - Mr. Brightside, learned specially for our first dance, was fantastic) and providing an excellent mix of tunes later on in the DJ set."
"The duo were professional, prompt and personable throughout and I would definitely recommend them to others looking for a talented musicians for an event.
Many thanks for helping make our Big Day so special."
"Top acoustic act. Two contrasting personalities combine to give you a fantastic and entertaining evening out"
"When this duo turn up, you know you're going to have a good night. The simplicity of their arrangement, the skill of delivery, the choice of material and the quality of their sound leave most other acoustic duos in the dirt. You can't beat a bit of Bristol stage-banter either!"
Jay Marsh, Promoter at The Selkirk, London.
"The Bristol Acoustic Duo are a fantastic acoustic act. Our Cricket Club booked them for a Dinner & Dance & the guys did a brilliant acoustic set - lots of well known covers, older ones for the wrinklys & plenty of new stuff for the kids. Followed that with a DJ session as we danced the night away. Looking forward to seeing the duo again very soon."
Simon Gould, Chairman. The Old Down Cricket Club.
''This duo offer a superb range of cover versions which will appeal to all ages. With a highly polished quality of performance, they will gaurantee you a wonderful night of music.''
"The Bristol Duo played a great mixture of music and kept us happy and dancing! Everyone enjoyed them and we would book them again in the future."
"The duo were excellent. They provided fantastic live music and were then very happy to provide a disco later on in the evening. They were really good at providing the correct atmosphere and we have had some really good feedback. I would definately recommend them."
"A brilliant choice of band to have at our mini festival, the quality of music, the entertainment value and professionalism all came through. All our guests enjoyed the music and we would definitely use them again!"
"The duo were very professional and arrived punctually and smartly dressed. It was a great day for the store and the duo played for twelve hours over two days, receiving many compliments from our customers. I would certainly recommend them as a talented professional set-up who can adapt their set and style to play anywhere."
Store Manager - Marks & Spencer
"Phil and I wanted to thank you for the fantastic performance at our wedding at the Larmer Tree Gardens. You were extremely pleasant to deal with and instantly on speaking to you about the booking I felt really pleased about our decision to book your duo. I really hope you both enjoyed playing on the stage, we had so many comments from guests who loved your set; It was perfect for what we imagined. Thank you again for making our day so special, be both really enjoy our music and love live music so it was such an important thing to find a band who could make the most of the venue. You really did, so thank you."
"I have received so many great comments about the party. Everything went well, the venue, the food & especially the music, even my very trendy sons thought you did a fantastic job. I couldnt believe it when you said it was 12:30,the evening went so quickly."
"Everyone loved the music and thought it was a really good mix of songs. We thought your bits of chat between songs were good fun too. It's not often my parents jump up and dance but they couldn't get enough of it. We both really enjoyed your performance."

Luang Prabang to Chiang Rai

I will be traveling in SEA in the beginning/middle of August and I was hoping someone could give me some advice on travel times and ways to get from Luang Prabang to Chiang Rai . My friend and I will be spending a short time in Laos before having to make our way to Chiang Rai to take a flight back down to Bkk. Our itinerary as of right now is:
Day one: Arriving in Vientiane in the late-ish afternoon.
Day two: spending the morning in Vientiane and then making our way into Vang Vieng .
Day three: Spending the morning in Vang Vieng and then making our way into Luang Prabang.
Day four: Leaving Luang Prabang and making our way into Chiang Rai. We need to be at the Chiang Rai airport by by 6pm or 7pm.
If anyone has a better idea on how to spend our short vacation or if we should skip any of those places in Laos to make for more time somewhere else, please let me know. I know its a very short time but we are trying to see as much as we can before we have to return home. Thank you!

Hi, this is quite a short one, and you should really make up your mind. It took us 12 hours to get to the Huy xai border by bus from LP, and the ride was NOT comfortable and wasn't able to sit for a day due to terrible seats and bad roads, on the other hand, it was one of the most beautiful ones in my life. If I where you I would fly from LP to BKK, it is quite expensive but a time saver.
I would leave as early as possible from Vientiane to spend more time in Vang Vieng, leaving easy make you able to go tubing in the early afternoon, and leave first thing in te morning to go to LP, very nice place! I would not do more then this.
I hope I have helped a bit...

I doubt if you can make it from LP to C. Rai in one day as early as you need to. Even if you take the fast boat from LP to Huay Xai , you might not get across the border until 17:00 or so and it'll take a couple hours more to get to C. Rai. They tend to waste an hour and a half for lunch in Pak Beng and you need to change boats there so it's unavoidable. Best bet is an overnight bus from LP to Huay Xai but that's a bad trip now with all the road construction around Oudom Xai and you won't see a thing of the countryside. This whole trip sounds like a nightmare to me, way too far in way too short of time. Gut wrenching anxiety with most time spent arranging and taking transport. The C. Rai airport commitment seems to be the problem.

total ~72 hours in Laos.
bus journey times:
VTE > VV = 3.5h
VV > LPB = 6.5+h
LPB > Huay Xai (border) = 12.5+h
Chiang Khong (border) > Chiangrai town = 2.5h

these are dry season timings.
August is wet season.

time for border crossing (open 8am-6pm)
delays (vehicle breakdowns, landslides)
if you still wish to travel through Laos, scroll down & read on
if you are good at sleeping sitting up (& not necessarily on an actual chair) you could try...
day 1: VTE > VV (6pm or 8pm bus to LPB or Xieng Khouang, arrive at night/close to midnight)
day 2: VV tubing (AM); VV > LPB (catch overnight bus coming up from Vientiane, but usually no proper seats left, arrive at dawn)
day 3: LPB (AM); LPB > Huay Xai (7pm overnight bus)
day 4: Huay Xai > Chiang Khong > Chiangrai > CEI airport
need to spend on only 1 night's accommodation (in VV, where cheap accomm is plentiful)
as #3 said, speedboat might not get you to the border with enough time left to reach CEI airport for your flight (esp if it rains).

Thank you so much for your quick responses. Wanderingcat, I made a slight error in our plans so here is the revised version if you wouldn't mind giving your suggestions again:
day 1, Aug. 12: taking a plane from Hanoi to Vientiane . We will get to Vientiane by late afternoon. (we could also take the bus to Vientiane but from what I've read on this website, it could take a couple of days.)
day 2, Aug 13: taking the bus (would boat be better?) in the morning to Vang Vieng. (what are the times for the morning buses?)
day 3, aug 14: taking the bus to Luang Prabang (are there buses that run all day or is it only early morning/late at night?)
day 4, aug 15: leaving Luang Prabang and traveling to the border of thailand and Laos. (Is there anything to do at the border in Laos? Are there many places to stay?)
day 5, aug 16: Cross the border and be in Chiang Rai by 5ish (how long does it take to cross the border and get to Chiang Rai? Is it by bus, train or boat?)
When we do this trip, would you recommend we find a travel agent in VIentiane to make all our travel arrangements? Or is it easy enough to do once we get in to each town? Again, thanks to everyone who has already commented. It really helps to get people who have done this trek's advice!

would you recommend we find a travel agent in VIentiane to make all our travel arrangements?
Absolutely not. Use public buses, buy bus tickets at bus station and start early each day. Morning buses often fill way up until the aisle is full of people standing or sitting on stools/floor. Getting an early seat means a more comfortable ride actually sitting in a seat.
Your Vientiane - Vang Vieng - Luang Prabang - Thai border trip in that space of time will be very rushed, hardly time to see the place. Why don't you fly Hanoi-LP and then slow down a bit?
Anyway, the last town in Laos, Huay Xai, has one main riverfront road with quite a few guesthouses, all of which are cheap and fairly basic, and not much to see/do there). Border hours are 8am-6pm and Chiang Khong on the Thai side has a better range of guesthouses, and the border crossing takes about 20 minutes all-up. Buses leave from the CR station next to the 7-Eleven from early morning and take about 2.5 hours to Chiang Rai. Then grab a songthaew out to the airport north of the city.

P.S. If you want to cut the bus time from Luang Prabang to Huay Xai in half, take a morning speed boat. They stop in Pakbeng for lunch then continue to Hauy Xai, all-up about 6-7 hours. And it's not as dangerous as some people may tell you.

if i weren't to take the speed boat, the time from Luang Prabang to Huay Xai is about 12 hours right? Is Huay Xai closer to Luang Prabang or Vientiane? I would love to not travel as much but I'm one of those travlers who wants to see as much as possible no matter how short on time I am. Thanks for your concern though captainbob!

look at a map as #9 suggested. there is no river connecting Vientiane & Vang Vieng. & there is no railway in Chiangrai.
for bus timings, check details here - Laos transport timetables:
if i weren't to take the speed boat, the time from Luang Prabang to Huay Xai is about 12 hours right?
as said before, no one can guarantee road travel times in Laos, especially during the rainy season. it can be 12h, 12+h, 12++++++h, all depends on your luck that day

Hanoi to Luang Prabang is probably one of the worst journeys you can do through southeast asia. I would strongly reccomend flying to luang prabang. Not only is it more comfortable, you also save a couple of days to explore Luang Prabang which is great and you will definitely want that extra time. We did the journey by road as we wanted to stop in sapa and had a week to make the journey. It took us 10 hours on a train to saps (suppose to take 8 hours), and then from here to dien bien Phu which is the closest main town to the border took another ten hours by night bus, (could be done by a day bus in slightly less time too, we met some others who did this and they said the scenery was great but seeing the conditions of the roads was quite scary). This part of the road is very windy and bumpy and you will not sleep!
From Here we took a day bus to Oudomaxay. This was again a very windy and uncomfortable ride on a local bus where you have your bag strapped to the roof. If you have a bad back definitely give this a miss! It took around 8 hours on unpaved roads, including the boarder crossing. Try and travel on week days as on weekends boarder control try to charge an extra 3 dollars as a service charge. Then the final leg of the journey was from Oudomaxay to Luang Prabang. This journey said it would take 5 hours, but due to roads being built, man made landslides (no idea why but a JCB was chucking a load of dirt onto the road from a cliff above), and a long lunch break in Pal mong, it took about 8 hours on a very hot bus through the worst road so far.
This journey all in all took us a good week to complete with stop overs. You could do it in 2-3 days if you really tried but you will want a good 3 days recovery at least when you get there. The journey costs about 45 dollars with the train could be done for about 38 with a bus the whole way. If you want to visit Sapa I would advise going back to hanoi and flying if you can afford it. I appreciate that this is answering a post from 2010 but I hope this will help advise others in similar situations in the future.

Dalton, Ga.
Junior Camilo Villegas claimed individual runner-up honors at Georgia Sunday.
The No. 1 Gators moved from a dismal 12th place position after round one to finish fifth at the Carpet Capital Collegiate hosted by Georgia Tech Sunday, October 7. UF was tied for sixth after round two and concluded their stellar climb with a 26-over 890.
Two UF golfers finished in the top-15, with one Gator claiming individual runner-up honors. Named 2001 Freshman of the Year by the Golf Coaches Association of America (GCAA) and the Southeastern Conference (SEC), sophomore Camilo Villegas (Mendellin, Colombia) took second place with his final 4-under 212. Junior Bubba Dickerson (Hilliard, Fla.) tied for 14th and was the only Gator to score an Eagle on the day.
Senior Camilo Benedetti (Mendellin, Colombia) jumped 13 spots in the final today to finish tied for 30th. Junior transfer Ari Savolainen (Helsinki, Finland) carded a 234 (+18) to finish T59. In his first tournament with the Gators, sophomore Robert Litsey (Palatka, Fla.) finished 72nd shooting a 27-over 243.
Tournament host Georgia Tech won the tournament firing an 6-under 858, with the nearest opponent, Tennessee, at 4-over 868. Clemson boasted the individual champion in D.J. Trahan. Trahan burned up the links totaling a 6-under 210 after carding back-to-back 69's in the first two rounds.
The Gators will now return to their home state for their final tournament of the fall season. UF co-hosts the Gary Koch Invitational with Central Florida on October 15-16 at the Old Memorial Golf Course in Tampa, Fla. UF will then be on a winter break until February 9-10 when they host the Gator Invitational at the newly renovated UF Golf Course.

You know those super by-the-book, overly nice types who preach things like "you shouldn't use the word hate, it's a very strong word, and it's not very nice"? I really hate those people. Just kidding! In fact, I'm kinda-sorta one of those un-hateful types; I just have a pleasantly snarky side which I like to believe gives me an edge. But as a designer, there are some things I have been open about hating, specifically the colors purple and yellow.
Well, my former distaste for the dynamic duo has taken a 180—for the most part. I'm now officially a huge lover of purple, specifically violet, plum and lavender. Yellow is still gonna take some time to win me over, but I'm really trying to work through it. What I recently discovered about purple is that it's uber-difficult to work with. Sometimes it's too Austin Powers. It can often be so lilac-y that it screams "baby girl"; most of its hues seem childish or tween-ish. Frankly, there are not many combinations that make purple seem sophisticated. But when used correctly, the purply result can be uh-may-zing.
In small doses, purple works magically. It's gender neutral and can take on a more modern appearance, albeit formal or casual, depending on textures and sheen. Here in the Italia showroom, I set it all against uber-neutral backdrops including dove grey walls, a white Natuzzi sectional, black club chair and glass/dark wood coffee table.
In January, I was introduced to the magical, hand-made world of seamstress/blogger/writer/supermom Susan Peterson of Freshly Picked. Her violet wool throw pillows were the stars of the space and can be purchased through her website. She also lives in Utah which is always super cool. For real, aside from Utahns, how many people do you know from Utah, really? PS – it may now be my very favorite state, not just because of Susan and her pillows but also because every single place you look is inspiring—kinda magic mixed with the taste of Pinkberry.
Hands down, the best high-end fabric out there in purple tones is Philip Gorrivan's Grey Gardens line for Highland Court available through Duralee showrooms. It's got amazing transitional patterns packed with layered tones of purple and grey. If you do not like this, then I think you are not being very nice and should be more open to purple.
When using purples, I've found that metallics are essential to pulling them off. Here in the Italia showroom, I used some of their starburst sculpture accessories to break up the violet from the showroom's artwork and the purpletastic pillowscape of the sofa.
Okay, now it's your turn. If you hate purple, tell me why. If you've used this tricky color successfully, tell me how. Just use the word hate sparingly in the comments below, okay?

No U-Turns on the Road to Serfdom?
The "anti-terrorist" witch-hunt and the future of America
In a series of raids last year, the FBI raided the homes and offices of antiwar activists in Minneapolis, North Carolina, Chicago, and California. They seized boxes of materials, cell phones, documents, and other private property, and issued subpoenas to a number of individuals, 24 at last count, demanding their appearance before a federal grand jury. The focus of this fishing expedition is ostensibly the "solidarity work" engaged in by the Antiwar Committee of Minneapolis, and sympathizing organizations, in Palestine and Columbia, but the history of police repression against these groups and individuals goes back years, specifically involving their work in organizing a march on the Republican and Democratic national conventions: in the Twin Cities, the "RNC Welcoming Committee," which planned the protest, was of particular interest to the authorities. The local cops, working with the FBI, actively worked to recruit informants, and – using information gleaned from these infiltrators – conducted a weekend-long reign of terror in early September 2008, breaking down doors, manhandling protesters – including journalists – and rounding up dissidents in anticipation of violence they claim "might" have occurred had the authorities not acted.
In reality, of course, the RNC Welcoming Committee was engaged in perfectly legal activities protected by the First Amendment, and there was no evidence presented that violence was forthcoming – but, under the terms of the post-9/11 legislative assault on the Constitution that culminated in the "Patriot" Act and subsequent acts of Congress, the First Amendment is no longer operative in this country.
If you're an Influential Person, however, you can get away with almost anything. Let's say you're Michael Mukasey, Bush's former Attorney General, who recently traveled to Paris with Tom Ridge, former Homeland Security chieftain, Fran Townsend, President Bush's former chief adviser on Homeland Security and counter-terrorism, and former New York City mayor and spectacularly failed presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani, to endorse the continuing effort by the Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK), or People's Mujahideen, to get off the State Department's list of terrorist organizations.
MEK is an Iranian Marxist-turned-neocon Iranian exile group, with a weirdly cultish orientation, that has murdered US diplomatic personnel and was instrumental in the 1979 takeover of the US embassy in Tehran. They lost out in the power struggle following the overthrow of the Shah, and fled to Iraq, where they were succored by Saddam Hussein: MEK brigades fought on the Iraqi side during the Iraq-Iran war, and carried out terrorist acts against civilian targets – a strategy they would very much like to carry out with US assistance today.
Over one-hundred members of Congress, who recently signed an appeal to the State Department to take MEK off the terrorist list, are angling for this, and the prominence of the US delegation to the Paris confab is part of the continuing campaign by the War Party to legalize these somewhat nutty cultists – whose unquestioned leader, Maryam Rajavi, has already declared herself the "President" of Iran – and get the group funding. The idea is to use them, as the Bush team used the Iraqi National Congress, to get "intelligence" – of similar quality – to gin up another war, this time against Tehran.
Can you imagine the outcry in official Washington if the FBI invaded the offices of Mukasey, Giuliani, Ridge, and Townsend, searching for evidence of "material support" to a foreign terrorist organization – the same crime the Minneapolis defendants are potentially facing? Such laws, however, aren't written in order to target such people: it's only those without power who suffer such a fate. If you're in any way associated with WikiLeaks, government agents are quick to stop you at the airport, question you, and seize your laptop, but if you're Rudy the Lout, on the way back from a tête-à-tête with terrorists – the good kind, rest assured – you're escorted to the VIP line and whisked through security.
Civil libertarians may cavil that this disparate treatment is evidence of selective prosecution, but selectivity is what the post-9/11 assault on the Bill of Rights is all about. Of course the government has the legal "right," these days, to read everyone's email, break into our private property, and collect information about our constitutionally protected activities – but you can bet they're not intercepting Senor Mukasey's email. Unless some political figure is being set up for blackmail, the Washington insiders and their friends are exempt from the depredations of the surveillance state. When it comes to the Antiwar Committee of Minneapolis, however – well, that's a horse of a different color, as they say in the land of Oz.
In the wake of 9/11, the neocons were strategically enough placed to launch a two-front war: one at home, and one abroad. The post-9/11 coup, in which a handful of neocons seized control of the machinery of the state and lied us into war, also involved waging a war on the home front –against the Constitution. And while the Iraq campaign ended in failure, an outcome currently being replicated in Afghanistan, their domestic campaign to destroy the legacy of the Founders and create the basis for a police state was much more successful. Indeed, I would venture to call it a near total victory.
With the support of both political parties, an extensive network of "anti-terrorist" "fusion centers" was created, in which local, state, and national law enforcement agencies cooperated in a "fused" effort to gather intelligence on and take action against targets deemed potential nodes of terrorist activity. Acting under a very broad mandate, and with billions of our tax dollars at their disposal, these agencies were also under considerable pressure to produce results. This led, according to the Office of the Inspector General [.pdf], to spying on perfectly legal and even pacifist organizations, whose only "crime" was to oppose the foreign and military policies pursued by Washington.
A key part of this gigantic intelligence-gathering operation is the infiltration and disruption of suspect groups, such as the "RNC Welcoming Committee," and the less publicized "welcoming committee" planned for the Democratic national conventioneers. I would note in passing that the unusual interest taken by law enforcement in these various "welcoming committees" is perfectly logical, albeit unconstitutional and intolerable in a free society, because the two "major" political parties are, after all, mere extensions of the State. With their legally privileged status, encoded in highly restrictive ballot access laws, and their regular receipt of government funds – the national conventions of both parties are given millions of taxpayer dollars to fund their partisan extravaganzas – the Democrats and Republicans are just as much wards of the government as are such "quasi-private" agencies as the National Endowment for Democracy, the Federal Reserve, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, or Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Any actions that challenge the power or legitimacy of these quasi-agencies are bound to be met by the State with brutal force. The fate of those who defy our two-headed official ruling party is no different from those who challenge the single-headed ruling parties that dominate what we call "totalitarian" or "authoritarian" states: hence the raids on the Minneapolis Antiwar group and their sympathizers nationally, and the subsequent grand jury fishing expedition.
In gathering evidence to justify these raids, and give what is simply an act of naked repression the color of "law," the feds in cooperation with the local cops sent in infiltrators, including one "Karen Sullivan," whose modus operandi is described here. After being recruited to the Antiwar Committee in 2008, Sullivan – whose lesbian orientation and hints of having been abused by a former husband made her a sympathetic figure to her fellow activists – proceeded to make herself indispensable. She joined the core group – the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (Fight Back), a Marxist group which came out of the radical movements of the 1960s – and acted as a public spokeswoman for them, making speeches, and even traveling to Israel with other members in order to make contact with a Palestinian women's organization.
This went on for two and a half years, as agent Sullivan collected information on the Freedom Roaders and reported it to her superiors – until the raids, in which the cops used a key provided no doubt by their snitch to break into the Antiwar Committee's Minneapolis office. Whereupon she disappeared as quickly and mysteriously as she had first come on the scene.
The implications for the antiwar movement, and for any group that dares oppose government policy, are ominous: what this means is that any and all such groups must assume the presence of infiltrators, and take measures to guard against it. That this has a chilling effect on the public expression of dissent is an understatement: such assumed surveillance is certain to have the effect of weakening and marginalizing the targets, making it impossible to engage in constitutionally protected political organizing.
The pursuit of the Freedom Road organization is not intended to stop "terrorism" – unless one defines "terrorism" as any and all opposition to our foreign policy of global intervention. What it is designed to do is make an example out of the targets, and send a message: anyone who challenges our rulers in any significant way is going to be brought down using the full powers of the State to crush them, and jail them, if they persist. The campaign starts with a small group of Marxists, with no influence and virtually no allies, and ends with – well, then, how does it end? Where does it end?
It ends with you.
If the government can criminalize the peaceful political activities of the Freedom Roaders, and give the enablers of the violent MEK cultists a pass, then it's open season on anyone and everyone. It isn't just left-wing groups that are in the government's crosshairs, either; if I were a Tea Party type – and I am – I'd be worried about the prospect of government infiltration and the potential trouble for the movement posed by agent provocateurs, especially in light of the Gifford shooting in Tucson. There was a nationally-coordinated campaign to blame the tea partiers before the smoke from that horrific incident had even cleared, and it isn't hard to imagine the Obama administration being very interested in having the "far right" infiltrated as well as the "far left."
What is happening in these United States that we are now saddled with a political police, which routinely spies on and intervenes in the peaceful, legal, and constitutionally protected activities of American citizens?
I'll tell you what's happening, and has already happened: we've reached a turning point, a bend in the road, and every day we go a little farther down it. To paraphrase Garet Garrett:
We have crossed the boundary that lies between liberty and dictatorship. If you ask when, the answer is that you cannot make a single stroke between day and night. The precise moment does not matter. There was no painted sign to say, "You now are entering Despotism." Yet it was a very old road and the voice of history was saying: "Whether you know it or not, the act of crossing may be irreversible." And now, not far ahead, is a sign that reads: "No U Turns."
Whether we will listen to the Voice of History – indeed, whether we're even capable of hearing it at this point – or else continue on our present course, deaf, dumb, and blind to what we must face at the inevitable end point of our journey, is not knowable. What I do know is this: if we don't raise our voices, we are lost. This country is rapidly approaching the point when such activities as we are engaged in on this web site, and beyond it, are the target of government harassment, disruption, and outright repression. Our task now is to fight this trend with all our might – and prepare for the day of its final triumph.
What we are facing is the prospect of a regime such as has not been seen since the days of the Alien and Sedition Acts, or the Palmer raids of World War I: a new era of repression enhanced by modern technology. What is needed is a broad coalition of those on the right as well as the left who see the danger and are ready to unite in defense of basic constitutional liberties. Unless and until we build such a movement, the war on the Constitution will end in the unconditional surrender of our liberties by those who had neither the heart nor the nerve to fight.

Good article from Justin. It is clear that the issue isn't right or left so much as right or wrong, and what these clowns reflexively believe is that peace is wrong and war is right. If you are part of any group advocating aggression against the Empire's perceived enemies, then you will not be targeted. If you are working for global peace and justice then you will be, regardless of your political hue.
The Real News carries this segment today about the ombudsman's report on policing at last year's G20 summit conference in Toronto; concluding that the city's chief of law enforcement has no respect or regard for the law.
You're not alone in the US; it is going on everywhere. http://therealnews.com/t2/index.php?option=com_co…
In other words, the middle ain't going to do shit, so it's up to the right and left. The same as with any antiwar/anti-imperialism efforts. The question is how to get that going and get past the differences.

One of your better efforts, Justin. Some old points of yours that nonetheless bear repeating. Like you, I hope it isn't too late for them to be heard. Every day though, we see liberty receding in the rearview. Indeed, where does it end?
No U-turns indeed. No stop signs or speed limits either. The theme song for our age
Mr. Raimondo – "witch-hunt" is the appropriate word.
Should one be interested: The Encyclopedia of Witchcraft & Demonology. author Rossell Hope Robbins, Crown Publishers, Inc., the 4th printing May 1965, pages 268-269, Robbins writes, "The inquisitorial method … may be summarized as follows:"
and he provides a list of 15 which, when one reads, is identical to the methodology of the terrorism hystericals. It is uncanny, no, it is eerie, how 21st century man so easily slipped into 13th century thinking – and these the people who mock Muslims as desiring to return to the 15th century.
One example: "3. To justify the activity of the Inquisition, whatever it might have been, was coorelated with heresy. Thus, the men who killed the bigoted Inquisitor Peter Martyr in 1252 were tried, not for murder, but for heresy (as opponents of the Inquisition)."
Just as when Hitler's NAZI's were losing their foreign wars, the war against the Jews and the German people were ramped up so that Hitler could declare victory in his war against the Jews,gypsies, Russian POW' s and eventually the German people.
The use of double agents as leaders for people seeking change is VERY OLD. It goes back to WWI. Sometimes, the people acting as agents actually turn into leaders (Lenin) and take over power directly. Indeed, this often happens! The line between 'revolutionary' and 'police agent' is hazy at best. There can be triple game players in this business, cheating both the movement AND the police. Then there is Hitler….um…he was sent to infiltrate the Nazis who were mainly socialist back in 1921. The state of Bavaria wanted him to move into a more leadership role in order to issue reports about coming demonstrations, etc.
To this end, he had to give speeches. Within a year, he was the actual leader of the organization and was put in jail because the police suspected he had switched sides. Interestingly, he DID destroy the organization and even killed many of the original, socialist members (the night of the long knives) and turned it into a corporate/fascist operation we all feared so greatly.
See? Old, old, old story with many dangerous implications especially when you think of Lenin and Hitler.
You may criticise, but not the system or the government, unless you want to be labelled "enemy within". If we decide you can't travel, you can't travel. Yes there are two sets of laws, one applying to us, the other applying to you…
I think the USA should be renamed. The USSA, Union of Soviet States of America would be more appropriate. Viewed from a distance, it bears a lot of resemblance. And one day it will bankrupt.
Except that the elite there seems to be made of much bigger totally immoral nut balls than that of the original Soviet Union. The original Soviets actually start to look human when compared to the Washington elite.
INGSOC is here albeit it 20 years late. "War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength." Justin is 100% correct but there is no strength in the American electorate. They have been most deliberately and effectively been co-opted.
Excellent column. I'm looking for a reason to be optimistic for the future of the US but find it hard.
And I don't think Tea Partiers have anything to worry about though – they tend to support state oppression directed at left wing anti-war groups and they offer no real threat to US imperialism outside of a few voices. I bet many of FBI agents making the raids consider themselves Tea Partiers themselves.
Great article exposing the hypocrisy of "our" government and the scam that is democracy.
I used to think that with the economy tanking and people out of jobs, that would wake Americans up to the corruption of the government, but it doesn't look like that is happening. On the contrary, it almost seems that the attack on our liberties and constitution has to go hand in hand with increased poverty. Because that way, the American people will demand from government only one thing: jobs and an improved economy. The government gets a free pass on all other issues as long as its representatives spend their time giving pretty speeches about jobs and the economy.
But why to ask about US position regarding MEK without remind the astonishing change regarding an more important event in history:the genocide of Armenian in 1916-18.After an Israeli's commando killed 9 Turkish members of Flotilla and Turkey-Israel relations worsened, American Congress approved!!!! the existence of this genocide.So such is written the history and ,of course,the present is mutilated in the same way.
this is just baby's first steps!! wait till it starts to run and yell: GERONIMO!! however, every phenomenon has two ends: a beginning and an end.
but the end is not yet near. did i just say that? erase it! it never ends. events never end; they just lapse into other events; probably worse for biota and some people that any previous event.
now, aren't u glad this post ends? now, don't lie to me, please! say, so devilgod help me, this is crazy! tnx
It has become impossible to look objectively at our federal government and not conclude that it has become, purposely or not, a tyranny. More Americans need to wake up and realize how thoroughly corrupt our government now is.
War is very expensive and if you don't have the money, it makes no sense,only more debts.A peace economy would be better.
[…] police state was much more successful. Indeed, I would venture to call it a near total victory. No U-Turns on the Road to Serfdom? by Justin Raimondo — Antiwar.com This is what is created when fear is allowed to take over. People say that its only to get those […]
I think many, if not most, do realize this. The problem is that they either 1) feel that there is nothing they can do about it, or, 2) have come to realize that they are so dependent on said government for their well-being, that it has so completely subverted economic and social liberty, that its collapse will be worse than its continued growth.
That's exactly the same people behind the Iron Curtain felt. Even though they realise it, people who have had seemingly free lunches for too long are just incapable of understanding that there's no such thing as a free lunch.
I only fear that American reckoning of reality will be far more violent than Slavic reckoning of reality, the former Yugoslavia notwithstanding, but there, non Slav Americans and Germans played a great role.
The use of sociopath psychopathic optimism, psychobabble propaganda, by the USG/MIC,Mafia Industrial Complex, businesses, pretend christians for the purpose of instilling the American population with mindlessness is very effective and a resounding success. As Bertrand Russell stated "most people would rather die than think" and with mindlessness being institutionalized it is legitimized,creating peer pressure, not to think.
Perhaps it will dawn eventually, that spin does not work, when things are not going succesfully, especially the economy, but also the fantastic waste on military tasks and foreign temporary conditions, like Saddam ruling Iraq. Chavez Venesuela, Castro Cuba. All the time necessities demanding immediate action! WHY? Does not make sense. Only does, if it is seen how FRAGILE public optimism and better-feeling really are! . Probably the US then will be much more regulated by spies against population resistance than in any former country of World History.
Now, to regulate the use of a free piece of software you today easily find thousands of pages of documents declaring what you may or may not do with it. Including the absurd notion, that the provider may change the rules at any time, and the user has himself to go look at some website, if anything have changed.
Well, how much would then be necessary in trillions or fantasillions of words to regulate the American population by spin alone, when trust has disappeared? Not possible! The only solution will be selective fear-mongering on this or that group. Perhaps ending up with complete annihilation by nukes against some rebellious state.
Very good points made on the terrorist nature of the MEK, its participation in the US embassy takeover following the Iranian revolution, and the continuing benign eye with which it is viewed by the government (to the extent of protecting its camp in Iraq since the invasion). Another point that could should be made is that the MEK is more often than not the source of reports on Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons. (At one point a few years ago there was a web page devoted to sources of information for Iran's pursuit of such weapons. Nine of ten of these reports came from the MEK. The web page has long since vanished.

"I do believe the worst is behind us."
That's what Bilbo Baggins says at the end of "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," as he surveys an expanse of land before him. Let's hope he's right. Because with few exceptions, Peter Jackson's return to Middle-earth is a long slog to nowhere.
With "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, also based on J.R.R. Tolkien's work, Jackson captured real magic. Yes, they were long movies, but there wasn't a lot of complaining about meandering plot threads and tossed-off diversions. But now his decision to make the slimmer book "The Hobbit" into a three-part series is ...

(A/N: I wrote this for my friend Thuong, or Hinamori_Amu.)
"Time sure does fly," I thought to
myself. Who am I? Hmm.. You can call me Akane. I sure do like
red, after all~!
It felt like yesterday when I was playing wall ball with my friends, eating in the noisy but comfortable cafeteria... Elementary school. When everyone was innocent... Happy moments never last, do they?
Now, I'm in middle school, meaning new friends, new teachers... New school, that's gigantic.. A little change is suppose to be good for you, but everything changed too much... All my friends have new friends. I'm scared.
"No, Akane, that's just plain silly," I told myself. "You're acting like a 3rd grader." But that's where I wanted to be. In elementary school, where everything is innocent, and the teachers were nice... Everything is changing. But I'm scared that I can't change with it.
"How will I change?" I wonder. "Will I remain the sweet girl everyone knows me as? Or will I change into something different?" Everything spun around in my head, whirling faster...
Just a few weeks ago, one of my
friends stopped talking to me. I wasn't actually sure
why he was ignoring me. One, two three... No, no...
about 11 people told me he liked me. Was that true?
"Too much!" I wanted to scream out. "Everyone's changing! I don't want it! Stop it!" But what difference would it make? Would people just stop and listen to a 6th grader?
I guess a change can really affect you...

The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!

Re: The Action Figure and Toy Collecting and Discussion Thread!
Hasbro's hinting something very good and very special is going to replace Legacy/Droid Factory later this year and more than make up for cancelling the new line before it even began, so let's hope that means more figures with great sculpts and articulation.
The Kenneresque, 1978-85 style articulation figures are okay or even great to a point, but if most of the Star Wars line in 2013 ends up containing figures aimed more at kids than at collectors and skimping on the joints because "kids don't care" then correcting the awful distribution problems from last year won't much matter.
Human instinct is pretty strong. You can't expect us to change overnight.

British PM defends remarkable KPComment on this story
London – British Prime Minister David Cameron on Thursday became embroiled in the row over the end of Kevin Pietersen's England career, saying there was a "powerful argument" in favour of the star batsman.
Pietersen was axed from all England duty on Tuesday, with officials at the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) citing a need "to rebuild not only the team but also the team ethic and philosophy" following the side's 5-0 Ashes thrashing in Australia.
But the departure of the gifted Pietersen, and in particular the ECB's lack of clarity over why he was being jettisoned, has provoked a huge public backlash.
One of Pietersen's most prominent supporters has been his friend, CNN interviewer Piers Morgan, who has been scathing of the decision to call time on his England career.
Morgan was previously editor of Britain's Daily Mirror tabloid newspaper, a traditional supporter of the main opposition Labour Party and a staunch critic of Cameron's Conservative-led coalition government.
But Cameron, in an interview broadcast Thursday by BBC Radio Lancashire, said he found himself in "sympathy" with Morgan regarding Pietersen.
"I am an enormous fan of Kevin Pietersen and I have had some of my most enjoyable times watching him tonking the ball all over the park," Cameron said.
"His average (47.28 in Tests) is remarkable. It is not often I have sympathy for Piers Morgan but I thought he was making quite a powerful argument this morning on my radio.
"But I will let the England selectors pick the England team, I think I had better stay out of this one." – Sapa-AFP

Do yourself a favor tonight. Don't pace the floor. Try not to bite fingernails or, worse, throw something at the TV.
Instead, sit back and appreciate a legend, even if that legend isn't quite what he once was.
Who knows if this is the last time we'll ever see Chris Carpenter in the postseason. He's been the St. Louis Cardinals' bulldog of bulldogs for so long that, personally, it's difficult to come to terms with reality.
That reality being he's 37, this is his 16th season in the majors and just a few months ago, determined to help the cause, he gave the go-ahead to have a rib surgically removed. He is, without question, our generation's Bob Gibson.
Which should be reason enough to appreciate tonight, regardless of what happens in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series, regardless if this Jekyll and Hyde offense of a Cardinals lineup once again plays possum and fails to have his back.
(Hey, you just know they're going to drive you nuts, so expect that going in.)
And, really, I'm not so much the one suggesting to appreciate Carpenter.
No, that came from his biggest advocates, his teammates.
There was leadoff man Jon Jay before Game 5. Had it been a stump speech for a political candidate and encircled by a large gathering, Jay might have walked the stage, microphone in hand, and gave his sales pitch.
But he did just the same as he calmly said this:
"Just look at his season this year. We saw in the clubhouse how determined he was to pitch," Jay said. "He was determined for his teammates. He could have easily said - he's done a lot in this game - and said, 'Hey, I'll be ready for next year.'"
But ?
"We saw him get to the field early. I saw how hard he worked and how much he wanted to be out there for us. As a younger player you see somebody like that do things like that and it sets an example."
Sitting to his left was third baseman David Freese. Everybody remembers he was the World Series MVP last year, largely for his theatrics in that unforgettable Game 6.
But he doesn't even sniff the World Series if not for Carpenter shoving the ball down the throats of the Philadelphia Phillies, pitching all nine innings and protecting a first-inning, 1-0 lead. Still hard not to remember that game and Carpenter's determination that all but said, "The only way you're getting this ball is to pry it from my cold dead hands."
"He understands that his time is limited," Freese said. "Besides the World Series last year, he wants to finish with more. And getting that ball and getting out on that mound, he's up for it."
You know, Carpenter is the guy I'd want on the mound tonight, even more so than Kyle Lohse.
Yes, Lohse won 16 games this season. But generally the lineup hits the snooze button almost every time he takes the mound.
But think about what having Chris Carpenter on the mound represents - in essence, the grit of these Cardinals over the past decade.
It doesn't matter that it seems a stretch to expect him to end up in the eighth or ninth inning, given he missed 150 games this year and made only three late-season starts. It's that you can't put anything past him.
Years ago, on an off day from covering a Double-A Southern League club in West Tennessee, I slipped over to catch Triple-A Memphis, St. Louis' top farm club. It was a Sunday in late June and, it turns out, also was a footnote in history.
It was Carpenter's first official start of any kind in the Cardinals organization. GM Walt Jocketty had signed him after the Toronto Blue Jays didn't want him and Carpenter, battling back from a shoulder injury, pitched only 3 1/3 innings that day.
Since then? Well, you know the rest.
So appreciate whatever he delivers tonight. A masterpiece. A respectable outing. Even a stinker. Doesn't matter. The Cardinals have Carpenter on the mound, and that's all that matters.

Grilles on all '75s wore large eggcrates, a change made partly to accommodate that year's revived 302 V-8 offering. This Ghia shows "opera" rear windows.
The 1975 Ford Mustang
Ford had ushered in a new era of Mustangs in 1974 with its smaller, more upscale Mustang II redesign.
Among changes in the second model year, the 1975 Ghia hardtop model added a flip-up glass "moonroof" option ($422) and a $151 Silver Luxury Group with cranberry-color crushed-velour upholstery, silver paint, matching half-vinyl top, and standup hood ornament. At the same time, Ghia rear-quarter glass was abbreviated into "opera" windows, a popular luxury-car styling fad of the day.
A fold-down rear seat was now standard for fastbacks, and cast-aluminum wheels and steel-belted radial tires were newly optional across the board. So was an "extended-range" (17-gallon) fuel tank ($18), a tacit admission that even these radically "downsized" Mustangs were rather thirsty. Mid-model year brought partial relief in a special "MPG" notchback and fastback with catalytic converter, which eliminated the need for some add-on emissions hardware and allowed engine retuning for better mileage and drivability. The MPG models then vanished, though not their "cat con."
But the big news for '75 was the return of V-8 power, answering customer pleas for more performance. Optional through '78, this was, of course, the familiar small-block 302-cubic-inch unit, initially tuned for 122 net horsepower, then 139.
Small front-fender emblems identified V-8-equipped cars like this Mach 1.
Unlike many second-year updates, this one was quite involved. As product development vice president Harold McDonald told historian Gary Witzenburg: "We had a very difficult time…because there hadn't been provision made for [a V-8]…The hood had to be much longer and a half-inch higher for clearance, we had to change the radiator support and move the radiator forward three inches, change things along the firewall, beef up [the frame] and mount the engine differently…but we didn't have to move the tread or change suspension mounting points."
However, springs, brakes and other components were beefed up to handle the heavier V-8, and all models regardless of engine wore larger grille eggcrates.Mustang II Meets MonzaOthers were bound to follow Ford's lead, and Mustang II got new competition for 1975 in Chevy's Monza 2+2, a sporty version of the bow-tie brand's subcompact Vega. Monza's optional 4.3-liter (262-cid) V-8 looked no match for Mustang's "5.0," and in straight-line acceleration it wasn't. Yet after a two-car shootout, Road & Track recommended the Chevy for its fresh, Ferrari-like styling and comfort, ride, handling, and fuel economy that were all judged superior to the Ford's.

Yet after a two-car shootout, Road & Track recommended the Chevy for its fresh, Ferrari-like styling and comfort, ride, handling, and fuel economy that were all judged superior to the Ford's.
A year earlier, reporting on a four-speed Mach 1, R&T said "it would be unrealistic to expect Ford of Dearborn to produce a European-type sporty car. Instead they've come up with a distinctively American interpretation of a sporty compact…[T]he car's great weight and poor balance make some [functional] options virtually necessary…[But] if you're not bothered by such considerations, [Mustang II] is solid, well-built, quiet and plush -- and not at all unpleasant to drive…as long as you don't ask too much of it."
Road & Track said the 1975 Mustang was quiet and plush.
Though gas started flowing freely again in March 1974, a slow economic recovery depressed auto sales into model-year '75. Mustang II was not immune, volume dropping over 50 percent to 188,575. Yet even that was far more encouraging -- and profitable -- than the tepid pace of 1971-73.
Sales were buoyed in 1976, in part by the popular Cobra II. Find out what was included in this largely ornamental package on the next page.For even more on the Ford Mustang, check out the following links.

Hi all,
Well its all up and working and installed in the car finally, but I have a few issues that I am hoping someone can help with...
Using a fitPC3 running Win7 Pro
RR starts fine and I can use it all fine, but there are 2 blank windows which also open. That part doesn't bother me, just a little annoying. BUT after a little while, one (or both I can't tell as they both look identical) of these blank screens keeps briefly flashing over RR interface and disappearing again. I can solve this by closing them both once RR starts but this is annoying to have to do every time I get in the car. Any ideas what could be causing this or what the extra blank windows are?
This may be related, but the cursor (which I have set to 'hide') keeps popping up with the little Windows 'busy' blue circle. So something is going on in the background, but I can't figure out what. Again, not a show stopper, but annoying. Ideas?
Is there currently any supported android phone plugin available?
And probably not the right place but may as well post it with the rest of my issues, but is there any reliable working FM/DAB radio setup?

Mississippi: Spring Break 07
Ten students and a staff member spent Spring Break in Mississippi with Hands On Gulf Coast http://www.handsongulfcoast.org/, a disaster response project in Biloxi that formed after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. The students joined a unique residential community of service composed of around 200 other Spring Breakers, AmeriCorps staff (NCCC) http://www.americorps.gov/about/programs/nccc.asp, short and long-term volunteers, and Hands On full-time staff. They lived and ate together in a huge hall behind Beauvoir United Methodist Church in Biloxi. Each day, volunteers checked the job board for their work assignments related to housing, child care, and the environment. Each day one group was assigned to cook, clean, and do other chores for the Hands On community.
Students gutted houses, put up siding, painted, caulked, cleared refuse from empty lots, combed the seashore for hurricane-related debris, pulled bushes and vines from damaged National Park fences, widened a community walking trail, served food at the Salvation Army tent to volunteers from across Biloxi, and posted signs on a pristine barrier island to protect nesting seabird habitats.
After work, the Hands On participants hung out, read, danced, played Ultimate Frisbee against Habitat for Humanity volunteers, and performed in the weekly "No-Talent Talent Show." One night the Spring Breakers heard a special presentation about the ongoing political, economic, and social challenges involved in the post-Katrina recovery efforts in Mississippi.
Eckerd students were inspired by the dedication of the Hands On and AmeriCorps staff members who were, for the most part, around the same ages as the Spring Breakers. Also, they were able to observe first hand the resilience of the Mississippi coastal residents and better understand the ongoing challenges they face in the aftermath of the hurricane that landed on the Gulf Coast 17 months before.

No singing pots in BRB classic
Posted: October 14, 2011|
DON'T mistake Birmingham Royal Ballet's production of Beauty and the Beast for the musical of the same name, even though the much-loved fairytale has the same happy ending with the beast transformed back into a handsome prince.
No human teapots, cups and saucers, clocks or candelabra here, and the story opens with the cruel prince coming under the spell of a mystery woodsman who saves a pretty vixen from thoughtless huntsmen.
The first half of the ballet – performed at Birmingham Hippodrome – is more beastly than beauty, full of anger, dark costumes and scenery, as well as a darkened stage, and even bailiffs turn up to confiscate furniture from the home of Belle's debt-troubled merchant father whose ships haven't come in.
There is, however, a complete transformation after the interval when the lavish gold decorations inside the Beast's castle simply glow as a gathering of people, also turned into remarkable creatures, dance beautifully at a special ball.
Here the brilliant lighting effects designed by Mark Jonathan come into their own, and the costumes are superb, too.
David Bintley's choreography, as ever, is a delight.
There are outstanding performances from Nao Sakuma (Belle) and Iain Mackay (The Beast), while Glenn Buhr's music is perfectly delivered by the Royal Ballet Sinfonia, conducted by Paul Murphy.
