US urges Morsi to repudiate remarks against Israel
The United States has called on Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi to repudiate one of his old remarks about the Israeli regime. At a press conference held in Washington on Tuesday, White House spokesman Jay Carney called the Egyptian president's remarks "deeply offensive." According to a video obtained by The New York Times, back in 2010, Morsi made comments which were an apparent reference to the Israeli regime. "We strongly condemn the remarks that the then Muslim Brotherhood leader made in 2010. The language that we have seen is deeply offensive. We completely reject these statements, as we do any language that espouses religious hatred," Carney said, calling on Morsi to clarify his views. "We will also judge him by what he says, and we think that these comments should be repudiated and they should be repudiated firmly," US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland also stated. Morsi assumed office in June 2012. In January 2011, the Egyptians launched a revolution against the pro-Israeli regime, which eventually brought an end to the 30-year dictatorship of former President Hosni Mubarak in February 2011.

A Carnival of Conspicuous
To paint a picture of the history of advertising and other forms of marketing, you must start with a timeline, a succession of dates and innovations. But this constitutes just the first few brush strokes, mostly in a single direction. Forms of mass communication proliferate. Businesses find an ever-increasing number of tools available to package and sell their wares. Consumers find themselves increasingly courted, even fawned over. One innovation breeds another. It is a broad outline that only begins to resemble its subject as other strokes, other colors and shapes, are added. For example, far from being perceived as an irresistible force of (economic) nature, advertising has often provoked annoyance, disgust, fear, loathing, and despair. It has been condemned as sinful, challenged as wasteful, shunned as disgraceful, and suppressed as harmful.
The selling impulse has been both ubiquitous and controversial in most cultures and civilizations. While it has drawn many vociferous critics from the ranks of clerics, bureaucrats, academics, and intellectuals, some of the most lugubrious rhetoric has come from a surprising source. Advertising, wrote one author in 1894, is misspent energy "which results from competition, and which does no good except to increase the cost of goods to purchasers." At least half of all advertis-

GNADENHUTTEN - It may not have been a pretty victory, but Coshocton will take it nonetheless.
Despite an inability to hit inside shots, the Lady Redskins used stellar defensive play to hold off host Indian Valley 31-28 in East Central Ohio League play Wednesday night.
Riding a seven-game winning streak, Coshocton (12-3, 9-1 ECOL) is now set for a huge ECOL rematch with Division II state-ranked River View (12-1, 9-0) on Saturday night in the Wigwam.
But the Indian Valley win was a little too close for comfort. Despite only having four turnovers to the Lady Braves' 16, Coshocton was 11-of-40 from the floor for 28 percent, many of the shots inside the paint.
"Our defense was great the whole game," Coshocton head coach Brent Carter said. "Early on the in the game, I thought we were doing everything we wanted to do. We were getting the ball inside, we were getting good looks, but the shots just weren't falling."
Kristin Jamison's 16 points - with a key deuce and a triple in the fourth period - and Kelly Ash's eight points and 10 rebounds sparked Coshocton, which also received eight steals, four boards and two assists from Chelsea Kimberley.
Brittany Stine's nine points and eight rebounds kept Indian Valley in the game, as did Coshocton's 8-of-18 free throw shooting.
"We need to do a better job of going to the line and putting the game away," Carter said. "We kind of left the door open in the fourth quarter. We were 3-for-10 in the fourth quarter from the line. That's something we're going to need to get better at come tournament time certainly."
Carter just hopes Coshocton's bad game is out of its system, with River View next on the schedule. The Lady Bears (12-1) are coming off its first loss in 39 games to Columbus Africentric, now the top-ranked team in the latest Associated Press Division IV state poll. That loss knocked River View from No. 1 to No. 2 in the latest Division II poll.
The Lady Bears also have yet to lose in the ECOL since joining in the 2004-2005 season. If Coshocton can snap that streak, it'll pull even in the loss column and have both teams in the drivers seat for an ECOL co-title.
If River View wins and garners the season sweep over Coshocton, its aforementioned ECOL history indicates a two-game lead may be as good as gold.
"Saturday night is a big game," Carter said. "It's something we can talk about not. Our kids have done a great job of staying focused on the next game, and now the next game is River View. ... Our kids are looking forward to the challenge."

You can only remove individual sheets without processing, it is type 55. You cannot remove the sheets individually from the pack film holders unless you take it in the darkroom and then you would probably screw up several other sheets.
The 405 holder does fit in spring back cameras such as Sinar's and Horeseman's. It looks like it is way to thick but it works just fine. I used to use the 405 "pack film" polaroid before most of the catalog work went digital.
Both the 545 and 405 are for 4x5 cameras. The 545 uses individual sheets such as Type 55. The 405 holder uses pack film instead of sheets. The 405 Polaroid produces a slightly larger image area than the 545. An example of the type of Polaroid used in the 405 holder is Type 559, the old style emulsion of color Polaroid. I just looked at B&H's and Calumets web site and I did not see Type 555. That is what the designation would be for pack film black and white P/N 4x5 Polaroid. I'm pretty sure they used to make it, I think a friend of mine in college in the late '80's and early '90's used it.
As far as the 405 holder is concerned, I consider it the black sheep of the Polaroid family. Most people prefer the 545 holder even though you get a larger image size on the 405.

"I ordered these with my daughter's name for school, etc. They are vibrant and fun and she loves them! I appreciate how easy the ordering process was and the quality of the stickers."
"I purchased these gift tags for my son's Baptism to put on the favors. I was so pleased when I received them. It's a nice way to personalize the favors to thank your guests. I had purchased the invitations first that match. The invite and gift tags have a very conservative and elegant look. The quality of the paper and printing is outstanding. You get what you pay for. I have received so many compliments on the invitations already."

El Muerto is a comic book super-hero in the DC Universe created by Oscar Pinto, Francisco Haghenbeck and Carlo Barberi. His first appearance was in Superman Annual #12.[1]
Fictional character biography[edit]
Pablo Valdez, once a young man in Mexico City who idolized Superman, died in a crumbling building while trying to save a small girl from a hostage situation. He was later resurrected through mysticism as an undead hero. Donning an outfit reminiscent of hanging victims, he became El Muerto. In his new incarnation he ceased idolizing Superman and instead began to hate him. El Muerto blamed his death solely on Superman believing that had he been there, he could have prevented the entire incident. He was also critical on the fact that Superman did not help Mexico in fighting crime on the streets and began to do so himself. El Muerto teamed up with fellow heroes Acrata and Iman in defending the streets of Mexico city from the sorcerer Duran. Eventually, El Muerto met The Man of Steel when a girl used her occult energies to destroy half of downtown Mexico City. Superman arrived to give the three superheroes aid, but his vulnerability to magic meant that all four heroes had to unite in order to stop the supernatural menace. El Muerto has since reconciled with his former hero and continues to patrol the streets of Mexico City.[1]
El Muerto was present of other DC mystical figures at Stonehedge in Infinite Crisis #6.

Colorado small businesses are less likely to change health insurers for the upcoming year, even as they anticipate continued price increases, according to the second-annual Delta Dental of Colorado Small Business Survey.

Did you hear about the earthquakes in Oklahoma earlier this month? No one was hurt and only about a dozen homes were damaged, but rattlers are rare in the Sooner State and so the event drew a lot of attention.
An interesting, if misleading, theory about the cause of the quakes soon bubbled to the surface.
The cause of the temblors, some speculated, was potentially related to hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, a common practice in Oklahoma and a fast-growing method of extracting trapped oil and gas deposits in Northern Colorado by injecting water, sand and chemicals deep underground.
This fracking-caused-the-quake line of thinking generated more than its fair share of headlines, blog postings and musings. It also is largely without merit and, more troubling, discredits groups that have expressed more legitimate concerns about fracking operations.
Yes, Oklahoma has seen a huge increase in quakes in the past couple of years. It typically experienced about 50 small quakes a year – until 2009. Then, the numbers began to climb. Last year, more than 1,000 quakes shook the state. Fracking opponents blame the oil companies.
But as Stanford University geophysicist Mark Zoback put it, the typical energy released in tremors triggered by fracking "is the equivalent to a gallon of milk falling off the kitchen counter." In other words, a seismograph can pick up these quakes deep below the surface but no one above ground would feel them.
Not incidentally, seismologists point out there happens to be a fault line in the area where the Nov. 8 quake and its aftershocks occurred.
"You can have an earthquake … anywhere east of the Rockies," U.S. Geological Survey seismologist Paul Earle said. "You don't need a huge fault to produce an earthquake that big. It's uncommon, but not unexpected."
The National Academy of Sciences is examining the quake-fracking connection – assuming one actually exits – but it seems to us that the conspiracy theorists might want to give it a rest.
There is another issue, however, that should cause immediate concern for us all.
As Business Report staffer Steve Porter wrote in our Nov. 4 editions, Colorado is woefully understaffed when it comes to the number of inspectors trying to do the job of providing oversight of the industry.
The industry insists fracking is safe. The chemicals used are injected through steel and concrete casings that prevent any contact with aquifers, and are then released thousands of feet below drinking-water sources.
That's all fine and good, but as our reporter pointed out, with more than 47,000 active wells and only 15 full-time state inspectors, the numbers don't favor a vigilant inspection program.
"That number of inspectors is not nearly enough to watch over those wells," Shane Davis, executive chair of the Sierra Club's Poudre Canyon chapter, told Porter. "I fear the state is not living up to the standards they're supposed to uphold."
We agree.
So here's a solution to consider: Hire more inspectors and have the companies pay more in impact fees so that can they help cover the salaries.
They'll grouse, sure, but their costs will amount to a drop in the bucket compared to the money they stand to make.

Most unemployed people will state that finding a job is more work than having a full tme job.
Wouldn't a rest from work be nice? An extended break to finally accomplish all those things on your to-do list: travel, go hiking, renovate the house, read the classics.
If you find yourself unemployed, very often the silver lining is that you have the time to do all those things you never could while working. But as many job seekers soon discover, lack of income and the need for a new job can hinder your recreational activities. After all, do you want to spend your savings on a trip to Europe or another desitnation if you don't have a job lined up?
Why is it a full-time job?
You know job hunting is serious business, but just how long does it take to post a résumé online and make a few calls to your professional contacts? Not long, but stopping there would be a mistake. Today's job hunt is a combination of old-fashioned footwork, online brand building and reaching out to the right people, as Debbie Withers has learned.
She was a marketing director before she took some time off in 1997 to be a full-time mother. As her kids grew up, she began a freelance writing career and did marketing consultation. Her youngest child is about to be in middle school and she thinks it's the right time to renew her career outside of the home.
"What I've discovered is that it really is who you know," Withers says. As a job seeker who was out of the professional world for a while, Withers has to overcome the image that she wasn't getting any relevant work done during her freelance years. Not to mention the fact that her time off began once she moved from Virginia, where she had many contacts and a solid reputation. "Unfortunately, since I didn't work full-time [here] in the Atlanta market, I don't have the business contacts I had in the cities where I was a marketing director; no one in my current sphere saw me in that high-profile position."
Since beginning her job hunt, Withers says three things have stood out to her:
1. Connections matter
One of the other mothers at a play group was married to a cameraman in a broadcast company where she wanted to work. Although the company wasn't in a position to hire her right then, she did get the contact information for a hiring manager. When the company is hiring again, she has a direct line to the right person.
2. Don't waste any opportunity to sit down with someone
One of Withers' acquaintances passed her résumé along to a colleague in the marketing department of her company. She was able to sit down with the marketing person and present her portfolio. Although the company was in a hiring freeze, Withers says she doesn't see it as a wasted opportunity.
"At least now I've met the corporate contact face to face, and although they're not advertising openings, she'll be more likely to think of me when they need someone."
3. Give your résumé to the right people
Withers asked one of her former employers to be a reference and forwarded her résumé. A few weeks later, that employer introduced her to a business associate who is hiring for a position she has experience in. She doesn't know whether or not she'll get the job, but she's glad to know she has someone helping her find employment opportunities.
Technology's role
By now you know that technological advances have benefits and plenty of disadvantages. Your cell phone can save your life during an emergency, but it can also ruin your evening at the symphony with an ill-timed ring. Social networking sites have had a similar effect on job hunting.
Sites like Facebook, BrightFuse and Twitter allow you to connect to old friends, potential employers, past clients and other people who might offer career opportunities. But combine the sheer volume of social networking sites and the ever shrinking shelf life of timeliness -- you haven't updated your Facebook status in over two hours? -- and you can't walk away from the computer for too long. Michael Durwin, who was recently laid off because of the economy, is experiencing the full-time demands of a job search.
"I'm as busy, if not more busy, tweaking my personal brand, hunting down new freelance clients and job hunting," he says. With his wife expecting their first child in a month, Durwin thought the layoff would give him plenty of time to do some work around the house that he's been putting off. He was mistaken. "I'm constantly trolling through job sites, joining new ones, reaching out to contacts, hunting down client contact info [and] updating my blog and Twitter feeds."
Of course, you might not mind the need for constant updates when you consider how visible you're making your job hunt. Sure, all of your contacts on these sites can see your information, but depending on your network settings, people in your same city or alumni network can, too. More sets of eyes are coming across your availability for a job.
Competition to secure a job is very fierce and challenging. Residents in the Plano, TX area may want to checkout a good unemployment website that addresses some unemployment issues.
Joys or woes of being unemployed
It's a dog eat dog world out there trying to find a job and after awhile the joys of being unemployed may quickly turn into woe and dismay. The key is to hang in there by actively looking for work consistently and believe it's just a matter of time before the joy of having a job return.

I think some parts went well, but I know I can definitely improve, especially on the metal parts. So I would really appreciate some feedback/ critique on this, mainly on what parts are wrong and could be improved, how to improve the metal and general tips on handling oil paints, thanks

"Great house to visit Chester from!"
I booked this house for 10 ladies to stay in for a hen do, and it was a perfect choice. The house was beautiful and set within a new estate. It was very spacious, and made us a little jealous that it was only ours for the weekend! We had 10 people, so didn't use the 6th bedroom, but all rooms were good sizes and very comfortable. With 4 toilets in the house, there was never a queue for the ladies! The living rooms downstairs were big and allowed us to just chill in peace. The one tiny downside was that there is only 2 mirrors in the house, and one is in the bathroom. This issue is easily solved with making sure people take a hand held mirror as 10 girls and 2 mirrors was a little entertaining. Booking the house was very easy, and any emails I sent with queries on were all replied to very swiftly. Nearer to the date of the trip; the owner also sent an email with further information, to help us gain access to the house, and was also very accommodating to our requests. The house has parking for 4 cars, and a sizeable garden. It is situated about 3 miles from Chester city centre, and the taxi's never cost more than £2 per person per journey. This house is perfect for small groups to enjoy visiting a new city and the surrounding areas.

Lives in Tasmania, Australia
Has a website at www.pbase.com/gustabod
Joined on Jan 25, 2007
agree, refreshing, and a very good communicator
Joe Ogiba: My last DSLR purchase was the Pentax K-7 in July 2009 and after getting the GH2 in December 2010 and using my K mount lenses for 1080p I never had a desire to purchase another DSLR. My current cameras are the NX1, GH4, A7r and VG900 full frame camcorder. My guess is DSLRs will be mostly gone from the consumer camera market within the next ten years.
I don't see too many soccer mums, tourists and recent retirees taking up photography buying Oly EM1's or Sony A7's. Most, if not all, have the Rebels or 5 series Nikons with a kit lens, seeing an "SLR" as the ultimate in serious statement of intent. "Upgrading" means getting a zoom lens. The surge in recent Sony sales (in the USA anyway, not the majority of the world), probably more to do with the brand?
Canon executives need to understand there is a thing called credibility, that no amount of "marketing" can buy. It's hard to gain credibility, but it can also be lost very quickly.
a Nikon D400
Onur Otlu: So Leica is one-upping Nikon's "pure photography" Df, which omitted the movie mode? :)
either that or just like the omitted IR filter on the M8 perhaps they forgot to put in a rear display and now offer an ISO wheel to make up for it
NancyP: Looks like an excellent birding camera for those who are not buying the 1DX and longer lenses. Plenty of pixels on the small bird with this camera, and I do believe I will be able to get more mileage out of the EF 400 f/5.6L without and with 1.4x TC. The price is right for this focal-length-limited specialty application, and for many other sports shooters.
agree, might retire my old 1D4 for one of these.
D1N0: Next to that bottom anything looks good.
yep, classic marketing mistake, nobody will remember the product
great but some of us also shoot at other focal lengths besides 35 and 50.
(unknown member): These high noise tests are pretty sad, if you are any good as a photographer you will use a tripod. If you want to test a real life situation - give one person a cheap Canon or Nikon APS-C with a reasonable 50mm lens - AND a TRIPOD. Give the other person the Sony A7S (handheld) and a 50mm Sony Lens - then do your midnight shoot. There is no action motion here - so shoot at any speed and setting - the end result is what counts. Each photographer then processes the raw files, and posts them with 100% crops. I'd bet the tripod mounted cameras would produce a better final product. If you really want to set the cat amongst the pigeons - introduce another photographer with a micro 3/4 or Sigma Foveon sensor camera (on a tripod) with a similar lens and really see what a differnce a Tripod makes.
point taken about situations with very low light where tripods can't be used, but sensor sensitivity alone won't save the day, focussing capability and suitable lenses are also required, neither of which is fully available from Sony yet, I tried using my 7R in an outdoor night time festival hand held (big crowds) and left dissapointed
nice coffee, awful image quality
nice coffee, awful image quality
Lux Painter: Darn, I used to write down the location of a photo on the lens with a permanent marker. Well, at least, now I can save a plate when I like to have a salad with oil and vinegar dressing out in the field.
But on a serious note, the only test I would be interesting in would be salt water spray.
samhain: Shady.
I wonder if Steve huff will comment on it...
he has addressed this, getting stuck into all us 'leica haters" in DPR.
so it's effectively a $300 kit lens priced 5 times that amount on the claim of superior optical design? Misleading at best, unethical quite frankly, I think the marketing department who clearly now run things at Leica scored a careless own goal.
Richard Franiec: Nice design, attention to detail and use of quality materials in the manufacturing process of the camera body are all great attention grabbers, however the truth is that they don't always create a better tool to do the job, especially when electronics are involved.
What we see with Leica is that they are desperately trying to market pride of craftsmanship and mysticism of the brand name at exuberant prices.
The whole manufacturing process in today's broadly available technology (explained in pictures of the article) is nothing that cannot be achieved in China, Vietnam or Romania. Most likely with less manual labor involved if deburring process is carried out by the same machine tool which does the "carving" of solid block of aluminum, not by hand of highly paid worker.
Obviously, limited production runs cost more per unit but justifying the final price by extraordinary skills and experience needed to do the job is just a plain hyperbole in my mind.
I would guess that all the components, much like the lens, are made elsewhere, possibly Asian jobbing factories. All Leica do is assemble it locally, thus claiming the craftsmanship tag for their marketing. Hopefully function will equate form. While I will always regret parting with my M8, the reality is that my actual output was no different to using other kit. I just looked like an ageing hipster taking the photos.
based on other recent Canon responses to new products from less risk averse manufacturers (think GX1, M and SL1) rather than create a new line I wouldn't be surprised if Canon responds by stuffing a FF 18 mpx sensor into a small proven consumer friendly design like a D700 size (without flip out screen) - so yes let them eat FF cake
for that price they should throw in a roll of digital film
Stealthy Ninja: I live in Hong Kong and honestly these pictures (though very nice) aren't too special. Most people could go out and take these photos pretty easily if they lived here. In fact on his page number 8 looks very similar to a place nearby where I live.
They look pretty nice though, don't get me wrong.
agree, there's a restaurant in Ocean terminal which has a couple of similar ones as wall decoration. Inspired me to go out and do the same last time I visited there...had a hell of a time correcting the lens distortion!
timedrun: M43 new cams, and even more their lenses, are not worth what they ask for them. I just saw that the oly 45mm f1.8, which is in their cheap range, has been "reduced" to $399. That is a skank imo. Samsung sell the exact same spec lens for NX at $199.
true and while lenses hold their relative value, your $1000 body is worth 300 bucks or less in 12 months time.

Hey, I hear wonderful things about brooks saddles. My only problem is that I live in the puget sound area where we get alot of rain. I understand that you shouldn't ride your brooks when wet. I also understand that the brooks leather can stain your clothing.
I plan on riding in the rain quite often (commuting to work) so I'm worried about the saddle getting wet and me not having any options because I've got to ride to get to work. Also, lunch time... I'll be on the bike in my work clothes... so, I don't want to walk back into the office with stains on pants.
What alternatives would you suggest for a good comfortable saddle that can be used for long days on the bike as well as daily commuting? I saw an earlier thread which suggested a Specialized saddle.

These Violence Health poems are examples of Violence poems about Health. These are the best examples of Violence Health poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If you don't find the poem you want here, try our incredible, super duper, all-knowing, advanced poem search engine.
Once upon a nightime grim
all creatures of Earth dreamed
our Mother was not enough for everyone,
just "me."
This collective nightmare thunderously rolled out
dark implications:
Earth is insufficient for our needs!
We live in Closed Systems of immunity,
heading toward decay!
EarthTribe is not enough to sustain all this life!
I am not enough, yet!
I do not have enough, yet!
When someone grabs from me
they steal from my self-identity!
Grab back!
When someone strikes and hits to hurt,
is mean to those I care about,
I hit back!
with self-righteous flashing anger,
equity and integrity mere feckless values.
They must learn my right
or I may perish from their wrong!
With such dark dreams
our primal twins,
Yang and Yin,
thrashed about in tangled sheets
each unaware of Other's parallel flight
within this blue-black brackish night,
til Yang whacked Yin upside the head
completely unaware of how this would unfold.
So Yin hit back in fright
and soon this ruckus raised a violent alarm
among their household, neighbors, Tribe.
This outrage spread
sweeping across land and oceans
then back again to where it all began
until exhausted and dark bruised
all earthbound life fell down unconscious.
Within this loss of self-defense,
our open-handed peaceful nest,
dawn quietly crept toward abundant light
for all to feel and hear and touch
her sobbing singing warming beauty.
Scent of sun-baked cotton sheets
invites Yin's eyes to uncover sight
of radiant light
abundantly growing nutrient wealth,
a yeasty compost sustaining interweaving life,
incarnating karmic response
to each species' evolving wants
and worthy hope.
As her awareness of Earth's vast creation
lit her eyes of self-discovery
dawn's diastasis filled hearts and minds
of all coincidental early risers.
We woke uncovered to discover immensity of life
and color swarming far beyond our needs,
nutrients absorbed for taste, and touch, and scent, and sound,
and sight, freely accessed to fit each synchronic need,
each longing to belong,
each Self fading into and out of Other,
sufficient place for each species' time and space.
Last night's primal screams of insufficiency replaced
by dawn's ecology of karmic grace.
Yang woke alarmed at loss of cover.
His arms flew out to hide his fall
from dawn's radical gift of generosity
and harmonic praxis.
And, in so doing, he hit Yin's head.
This blow did smart
but seeded tears of redeemer healing.
Yin justly smiled and absorbed around
reminding Yang she is his graceful mentor
interpreting his dreams.
She sang with harmony
swallowing unredeemed dissonance and disease,
hope for suffering and insanity's dark lessons,
dawn's well-lit vocation for us all
softly individuating within Earth's optimizing life,
all brittle boundaries of mutual immunity
relaxing into resonance.
In this Transition Time from dark competing violence,
we remain cooperatively nested within Earth's well-being,
so, dear Yang,
return toward redemptive rest,
regenerating memory seeds,
stringing songs dancing back,
back to stardust's Ecologic Elders.
Fear and violence display synaptically sharp;
competitive "Loser!" economies;
love's just peace remains buoyant, resilient,
robustly evolving
cooperation's mutual winner revolution
away from red skies of mourning.

The chook defense
Now I'm no vegetarian
Though I'd like that this could be
At seventy I'll never change
So I'm just stuck with me
And I really love's me chook
In every kind of way
But now I'm in the mood I'm in
I just have this to say…..
If we're going to eat these chooks
Don't we owe them some respect
We treat them like commodities
But what I might reflect
Is, if we treat these creatures thus
That God placed on this earth
Then we neglect our very souls
And too our own self worth.
Those birds are treated so damn mean
How can one understand
This cruelty, are we then humane?
It don't look too damn grand
And where's the goodness in a food
That's never seen the sun
So when we treat these birds like this
What damage have we done?
That chicken flue was scary, once
But who knows much at all
About the karma that can come
From things, unnatural.
It's time for changes in this world
When dosh is not the 'all'
And then humane might be a word
That's truly wonderful

*A assignment was due in class. *
Every time a gun shoots
A tree looses its roots
Every time there is bloodshed
Along with it millions of tears are shed
Every time a heart is stabbed
Someone else's life gets barren
As violence grows
Many more mothers moan
The sounds of destruction
Overpowers the voice of those
Who are innocent
Who suffer with no reason
Who beg for life
Who have heart full of innocence
Why do so much violence?
That the child's cry cannot be heard
When his father is killed
Why do so much violence?
That a mother moans
Over her child's dead remains
Why do so much violence
For winning any stupid battle
Which is taking lives
Of people who have wives
And mothers and children
When you can keep calm
Talk things out
Do whatever you can
To keep violence out
Because there is no sin as big as

Speaking about the song, band member Shaun Jason said: "It's been two years now since our last release. We've moved from the USA, to South Korea, to Spain and finally we are now living in London. It's been an amazing period for us, and we wanted our new music to resonate all that we've seen, experienced and learned during that time".
Fellow band member Shiun Kim added: "We wanted to capture not only what is going on in the world, but also highlight the evolution of us musically, with both a fresh perspective, as well as a continuation of the sound that we created on our previous records."
The duo are currently adding the finishing touches to their self- produced fourth studio album The World Outside, which is penciled for release in summer 2012, and are performing dates throughout the UK. New video as well as live dates can be found on the band's website at http://southwaymusic.com/

In that same line, do you feel that the characterization of Picard when he ordered the Thalaron weapon to be built was in line with what we know about him? Or the parts where he was in such serious doubt about his future? I wanted to hear what you were thinking Picard was feeling when you wrote those parts so I could better understand where he was coming from.
David, I also wondered about this. All the reviews I've read have been positive, but almost everyone wonders about Picard being "off" in this third instalment as well as the previous two.
I'd love to know your thinking process insofar as Picard is concerned.

The star of 'The Walking Dead' talks to The Daily Beast about terminus and how much he knows about the cannibals theory.
There was a sense of Christmas about the travellers and the people who were at the terminus to meet them.
It was from Canon Farlow, and had been despatched at the London terminus.

1550s, "goal, end, final point," from Latin terminus (plural termini) "end, boundary line," from PIE root *ter-, base of words meaning "peg, post, boundary, marker goal" (cf. Sanskrit tarati "passes over, crosses over," Hittite tarmaizzi "he limits," Greek terma "boundary, end, limit"). In ancient Rome, Terminus was the name of the deity who presided over boundaries and landmarks, focus of the important Roman festival of Terminalia (held Feb. 23, the end of the old Roman year). Meaning "either end of a transportation line" is first recorded 1836.

continued Organizers are hoping the event will grow to become similar to Saratoga's Chowder Fest, which sees the downtown area swell with people every February. Ellms said certain hotels participating in the event will offer shuttle services and taxi services will be made available as well for those who partake.
"This is a great event for those who want to get into the business, learn new beers or learn how to brew," said Ellms. "Friday will feature a home brewing presentation and we'll actually be brewing beer. The size of the event and time of the year has allowed us to reach out to bigger brewers to participate and show their stuff."
He said Andy Schwartz, head brew master for Red Hook, Widmer, Kona and Goose Island, has agreed to come, as well as the owner and head brewer of Old Bernside Brewery in Hartford, Conn., and Rick Davidson from Davidson Brewery. Olde Saratoga Brewery will also participate in the event. With these professionals, event-goers will be able to learn the trade while learning the difference between different beer varieties.
Garofano said for the tourism bureau, the event is about filling hotel rooms outside of the racing season.

text: Student I Was Sleeping With Tried to Extort Me: Teacher Not surprisingly, Kathanna Culp ended up fired and charged with a crime By Evann Gastaldo, Newser Staff Posted Mar 27, 2013 2:49 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (34) (Newser) – Kathanna Culp, a former high school teacher, went to the principal for help when a student allegedly attempted to extort her in order to stop her from breaking off their illicit relationship. But it backfired on Culp when she was fired and then charged with having an improper relationship with a student, the Houston Chronicle reports. Culp spoke to the principal in December and he alerted authorities. The teen has since graduated. He told authorities he had sex numerous times with Culp, 29, while he was a student and she a teacher; he also claimed he lived at her apartment, where she had parties and gave him and his friends marijuana, off and on from April to November. Culp says when she tried to end the relationship, the teen threatened to go public with it unless she paid him.

Private Exchanges, Public Griping

Discrimination cases are laced with emotion. The plaintiff, in essence, is accusing the employer and its management of bigotry of one kind or another.
Employees at some point grow weary of the nonsense they inevitably must put up with: from a client, a customer, a co-worker, or pigheaded politicians.
As the popularity of e-cigarettes continues to grow, there's still no definitive ruling on the safety and proper regulation of the tobacco-free alternative. It's up to employers to fill in the gaps.
Employee safety should always be the company's highest priority, and employers should follow CDC guidance and avoid knee-jerk reactions, no matter how provocative an employee's activities may be.

- Speed and features With the combination of the CPU, RAM, and Flash Storage my computer cold boots in around 10 seconds
- Design and form factor The form factor might be stale for some but I think it just works. It just has a solid build quality
- Battery life On average Im squeezing anywhere from 10-13 hours out of it with general usage. This is with the brightness around a third and no backlight on the keyboard.
- Display Retina display speaks for itself even if it isn't the highest resolution on the market anymore
- Durability I take very good care of my laptop so it might vary for others. The whole unibody design just makes for a solid computer
- Expandability You have to be positive on the configuration you want because you can't expand it in any way after buying. I recommend 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB Storage.
- Noise I never hear the fan unless Im playing games like borderlands or Arkham City
- Portability (size / weight) This is really a personal preference here. Some people prefer something ultra portable like the air, but I think 3.5 pounds is fantastic

McCain: Forest Service Gave Info That Illegal Immigrants Started Wildfires
Sen. John McCain caused a stir over the weekend when he claimed that some of the wildfires in his state of Arizona were caused by illegal border crossers.
But on Monday McCain issued a statement insisting that the information came from someone with the U.S. Forest Service.
Some immigration activists accused McCain of wrongly blaming undocumented immigrants for at least one fire and perhaps more based on little to no evidence.
An excerpt from Azcentral.com, the website of the Arizona Republic:
When asked whether illegal immigrants may have played a role in the Wallow Fire, Tom Berglund, a Forest Service spokesman, said, "Absolutely not, according to what I've been told."
"It is frustrating that John McCain is saying things that are baseless and unsubstantiated," said Randy Parraz of Scottsdale, an immigration activist who sought the Democratic nomination in 2010 to challenge for McCain's Senate seat. "Is he connected to reality or trying to fan the flames of fear and intolerance?"
McCain's office issued a statement Monday on behalf of several members of Arizona's congressional delegation which places the blame on a Forest Service official the lawmakers talked with during a tour of the affected area Saturday.
An excerpt:
"During our tour of the damaged areas caused by the Wallow Fire on Saturday, we were briefed by senior Forest Service officials, one of whom informed us that some wildfires in Arizona (across our southern border) are regrettably caused by drug smugglers and illegal immigrants. This statement is consistent with what we've been hearing for years, as well as testimony by the Forest Service and media reports dating back as far as 2006.
Politico.com reports that McCain, in an effort to douse the flames of controversy, said the fire he was referring to wasn't the large Wallow fire but less significant ones.

Hi all
Does anyone have some tips for cheap touring food that can be prepared without a stove?
I'm going to camp out on a few occasions on my brussels to serbia journey, in between surfing couches.
I thought of bringing a few plastic jars to soak oatmeal or rice in, and I could eat things like muesli, carrots and apples. Maybe some dried meat too if I can get my hands on a variety that I like.
I might also prepare some lentils in advance using my host's kitchen...
Any other suggestions?

Single tickets to the Old Globe production of the show go on sale Dec. 11. The new work by the director and choreographer of Movin' Out will bow in San Diego on Jan 25, 2006. An Old Globe spokesperson could not confirm the casting.
In the Dylan venture, Tharp directs and choreographs the music of the legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan. "The worlds of theatre and dance" will connect to tell a new story "with the groundbreaking songs of one of America's rock music icons," according to Old Globe press materials.
Justin Bohon, the Will Parker of the recent Broadway revival of Oklahoma!, and Jenn Colella, lately of Urban Cowboy, are expected to be part of the cast. No actors have been officially announced for the show.
Dylan is the iconic folk and rock musician who authored and sang such classics as "Blowin' in the Wind," "Like a Rolling Stone," "Knockin' on Heaven's Door," "Positively 4th Street," "Just Like a Woman," and "Mr. Tambourine Man."

SAN FRANCISCO — Shoppers in San Francisco will have to pay 10 cents per bag and more retailers are now banned from handing out plastic bags under a proposal approved Tuesday by the city's Board of Supervisors.
San Francisco already bans large grocery stores and chain pharmacies from using plastic bags, which are blamed for clogging landfills and waterways. The proposal extends that ban to restaurants and to gift shops, hardware stores, boutiques and other retailers.
The 10-cent charge would apply to any type of bag, such as paper, that stores give customers at the checkout counter. The stores would keep the money.
The goal is to discourage the use of single-use bags and encourage people to bring their own bags to retailers.
San Francisco became the first city in the country to ban plastic bags at grocery stores and drug stores with an ordinance passed in 2007. Since then, other California cities, Ireland, Taiwan and the District of Columbia have enacted more stringent polices.

The Texas A&M Foundation on Thursday and Friday honored members of the A&M Legacy Society, a group comprised of individuals, corporations and organizations who have donated $100,000 or more in support of the university or individuals who made provisions in their estate plans for gifts to support Texas A&M.
"It's not every day that you have so many generous people of such stature together," said Ed Davis, president of the Texas A&M Foundation. "The A&M Legacy Society events are one way that we honor all the people who truly understand the value of giving back to their university and who share a vision for Texas A&M's bright future."
The two-day A&M Legacy Society celebration included a gala on Thursday evening and a breakfast, college tours and luncheon on Friday. Nearly 600 people attended Thursday's gala at the Debbie '76 and John '74 Bethancourt Family Ballroom in the Memorial Student Center, including 180 new A&M Legacy Society members, the Foundation's Board of Trustees, Texas A&M University Interim President Mark Hussey, and Chancellor of The Texas A&M University System John Sharp.
At the gala on Thursday, student actors from the Department of Performance Studies presented a history of Texas A&M by dramatizing letters from the Cushing Memorial Library and Archives. The Singing Cadets provided musical entertainment at the event.
A&M Legacy Society members, Tim and Amy Leach of Midland, Texas, believe that former students with adequate means should invest in Texas A&M. The couple recently contributed $10 million to help construct the university's Engineering Education Complex.
"Over the years, I have come to view it as a privilege to support Texas A&M in all its different efforts," said Tim Leach, who earned his bachelor's degree in petroleum engineering in 1982 and is the chairman and CEO of Concho Resources.
"Specifically, supporting engineering programs has a profound impact on many important industries in Texas and exposes young people to greater opportunities. Amy and I feel honored to be able to give back to Texas A&M."
In total, A&M Legacy Society donors have given more than $3.1 billion to support Texas A&M. Membership results from giving through any of four Texas A&M fundraising organizations: the Texas A&M Foundation, The Association of Former Students, the 12th Man Foundation and the George Bush Presidential Library Foundation.
The Texas A&M Foundation also honors Legacy Society members by inscribing their names on walls and glass panels in Legacy Hall of the Foundation's headquarters in the Jon L. Hagler Center. In addition, the south wall of the building is reserved for those who have given $5 million or more to support Texas A&M. This year, the names of Rhonda and Frosty Gilliam '80, Doug Pitcock '49, H. Grady Ash Jr. '58, Becky '76 and Monty L. '77 Davis, and Robert W. Biggs Jr. '55 were added to this distinguished list.

Heading Downtown
Melby, Todd, Independent Banker
Persistently, Atlanta banker builds a bank pursuing inner-city opportunities
Shirley A. Langley will always remember the first time she met George Andrews, president and CEO of Capitol City Bank in Atlanta.
It was 1996. Langley was a "struggling" certified public accountant, she says, renting a 650-square-foot office space and overseeing a staff of one. Without an appointment, the lanky banker knocked on her door, and introduced himself. After a few niceties, Andrews launched into the reasons why she should switch to Capitol City.
As the city's newest African-American owned and operated financial institution, Capitol City is dedicated to reinvesting in the neighborhoods where its customers live, work and own businesses. And that includes the West End, an area just southwest of downtown where Capitol City is headquartered and where Langley rented an office.
Andrews promised to match the bargains Langley was receiving at her current bank and made this offer before ending his sales pitch, "To make it easy for you, I'll send someone over to your office tomorrow to complete the necessary paper-work."
Langley was shocked. "He walked in and treated me like I was some big Fortune 500 company," she says. "Didn't I feel like somebody. Wow."
Knocking on doors, meeting people face-to-face and working hard to realize his dreams was nothing new for George Andrews. In 1992, he quit his job as a commercial loan officer and vice president at SunTrust Banks, a regional bank holding company based in Atlanta, to raise funds for Capitol City. "I spoke everywhere," he says, recalling the church congregations, business organizations, civic clubs, sororities and fraternities he visited. "I wore out three pair of shoes."
Most bank start-ups seek stock purchases in amounts of $5,000 or more. Andrews knew this wasn't a realistic, or desirable, tool for his venture. Capitol City lowered the entry level investment to $500.
"That was done intentionally so everyone could participate," Andrews explains. "I wanted people in the community to be able to afford this opportunity. It was an administrative and accounting nightmare, but we were able to deliver."
Adds Andrews, "It was extremely tough. We were marketing our stock to a community that had not been involved in something like this before. Before we could sell stock, we had to educate the buyer on why it was important."
Coupling Businesses
But Andrews' message of economic empowerment appealed to investors. Within 18 months about 1,300 shareholders had contributed $5.5 million in capital for the new bank. Capitol City opened its doors in 1994, becoming Atlanta's third black-owned bank (the city is also home to four black-owned credit unions).
In the intervening six years, Capitol City has added three branches, including a facility at Atlanta International Airport. The bank's assets now total nearly $70 million. This rapid growth helped propel the bank into the No. 25 slot on Black Enterprise magazine's Top 100 black-owned banks in the United States. Another Atlanta institution, Citizen's Trust Bank, ranked No. 6 on the list with $214 million in assets and $183 million in deposits.
Capitol City's growth has been fueled, in part, by the aggressiveness Andrews exhibits in courting business owners of every size. …
