If you take a glance up at the sky, you might notice that the rolling blanket of grey clouds that we've become acquainted with for the past 6 months is sometimes briefly replaced with a flaming ball of hot plasma. That fact that we can catch a glimpse of it means the cosmic grip of winter is waning and spring is on its way to thaw us out.
This also means that St. Patrick's Day is almost upon us! To celebrate the Feast of Saint Patrick (and the fact that the Sun hasn't left us and ran off with some other planet like COROT-7b), we're running a little competition which could result in you getting your hands on some fabulous Irish whiskey!

Excited to peek behind the seventh window of the Whisky Advent Calendar? Well now's the time, as it's Day 7! Behind that little window lies a classic Sherried expression from a family-owned independent Scottish distillery - it's a dram of Glenfarclas 10 Year Old!
Six generations of the Grant family have helped run the distillery, and next year marks the 150th anniversary of John Grant buying Glenfarclas back in 1865. #WhiskySanta Towers has been family-owned for many decades too you know, but the Grant family have managed it all without omniscience and flying reindeer. Bloody impressive! Not to say I'm a slouch mind, just watch me move on the 24th!

Four delicious days down, and on 5th December the Whisky Advent Calendar giveth single malt from Bogh Mòr! Bowmore distillery's 12 year old single malt to be precise.
They say that the devil last visited Bowmore in 1837, and that the people of the town of Bowmore scared him off. I'm generally more bothered by the Grinch though personally. If you happen to see him about, make sure you tell him to do one too, won't you? He'll take a hint one of these days. Other than that, I simply encourage you to sit back and enjoy your dram of delicious peated Scotch from Islay.

Since I began granting one Christmas wish per day, there's been one product in particular that's been rather popular on your wishlists. Some chap in a panama hat with fluorescent eyes said it was rather good or something. Not much call for panama hats at the North Pole, you know. Still, if there's one thing I've learned travelling all around the globe every year it's that it takes all sorts!

Before we get started, yes, we know. We're banging on about Christmas and it's not even Halloween yet. Most of us at MoM Towers are only just putting the finishing touches to our costumes - this year I'm changing it up from my usual Beastie Boys 'Sabotage' cop and going as a horse with Jake. He's kindly volunteered to be the back half (but he doesn't know that yet).
However, the Drinks by the Dram Christmas Crackers were recently put up for pre-order and now we can't but feel all Christmassy and whatnot. Just look at these handsome little rascals! Don't expect to find any tiny rulers, giant plastic paper-clips or ridiculously easy puzzles here, oh no. These Christmas Crackers are filled with award-winning spirits and liqueurs!

So it seems there was a Caption Competition announced a couple days ago and we need to declare some winners. I was out of the office on the day it was announced, so imagine my surprise when I returned to find a picture of me training for my upcoming Broadway show CATS (in Ireland) had been used for the competition! I knew I should never have become friends with Jake on Facebook.
Nevertheless, we received a bunch of entries and (using a very scientific method which definitely was not just us chuckling away at our desks) decided on whom shall be receiving each of the three Drinks by the Dram Irish Whiskey Tasting Sets for St. Patrick's Day!

As the philosopher Tom Hanks always said that his Momma always said, "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."
The final winner of our Premium Whisky Advent Calendar competition didn't know that they were going to receive one of the most supreme advent calendars in existence when they bought a tasting set. It gave them a chance, but the future is tough to see (not for philosophers like Tom Hanks though. Philosophers can see in to the future, right? Or is that wizards? Either way, Tom Hanks can see into the future. And cast spells.).

A juice fast gives the body a break from the refined sugar, red meat, and Funyun-topped apple pies typical of the American diet. Empty out the junk food with this Groupon.
Choose from Four Options
- $75 for a three-day raw-food cleanse (a $178 value)
- $75 for a three-day juice cleanse (a $189 value)
- $119 for a five-day juice cleanse (a $315 value)
- $169 for a seven-day juice cleanse (a $441 value)
Raw-food cleanses include two meals, two juices, and one dessert per day.
Each day of the juice cleanse, patrons quaff six 16-ounce juices made from ingredients such as purées of leafy green vegetables, citrus elixirs, and seed milks. They gradually feel the health benefits, which may include an increase in energy, a clearer mind, and weight loss.
Khepra's Raw Food Juice Bar
Khepra Anu, the self-proclaimed "coconut king" and chef at Khepra's Raw Food Juice Bar, slips busily among hillocks of fruits, nuts, and veggies. He expounds on the importance of raw foods and fasting in health, comparing the process to that of a mechanic changing a car's oil or a carpenter maybe buying flowers for his hammer once in a while. Blends of leafy green veggies, goji berries, and citrus fruits pour from a juicer, fueling patrons during fasts or simply augmenting traditional nutrition. The foundation for each beverage is coconut water from Florida-grown coconuts, and the elixirs are intended to give the body a chance to flush itself of toxins with seed milks, citrus blends, and mineral-rich greens. Khepra is also excited about raw foods, which he believes contain more naturally occurring nutrients, and prepares nut-and-hemp burgers, nori rolls, and wraps in the bustling shop.
86% of 438 customers recommend
"I'm not a vegan, raw or vegetarian, but good food is good food and at Khepra's you will find one of the best dishes to eat in town, everything there is great and..."
"I'm not a vegan, raw or vegetarian, but good food is good food and at Khepra's you will find one of the best dishes to eat in town, everything there is great and fresh coconut water is really hard to find, its worth checking out."
"Their cleanse is great. First day was a little tired, after that I felt amazing and lost a couple of pounds :)"

If the owners of Mai Village can't come up with the $150,000 they owe the bank before Oct. 24, their University Avenue restaurant will be sold at a sheriff's sale.
Mai Nguyen and her husband, Ngoan Dang, say light-rail construction has reduced their business so much they are behind nearly six months in mortgage payments. They are asking for help from customers and community members via a Facebook page and a trust fund set up to save the restaurant.
"We think after the light rail is done, we will see the light," Nguyen said. "So we cannot give up."
The Vietnamese restaurant has been a fixture on University Avenue since 1992, when the owners ran a smaller cafe next door to their $3.8 million sprawling and ornate dining room, which opened in 2004.
The restaurant is filled with hand-carved dark-wood furniture and decorations, including a wood bridge over a koi pond. Much of the adornments were custom made and all were imported from Vietnam.
"This is not just a restaurant," Nguyen said. "We poured in our love. It's a special place."
Ngoan Dang, who uses a wheelchair and is in frail health after suffering a stroke "from the stress," wheeled himself to a nearby table in the restaurant's lounge to check his spiking blood pressure after talking with a reporter about the family's situation Friday, Sept. 14.
The couple have more than the restaurant and their livelihood to lose -- the bank put a lien on their home after light-rail construction began and they fell behind on payments.
"If I cannot raise the money, they will have everything," Nguyen said. "I cannot picture what will happen to me. I don't have anything -- no savings, no nothing."
Reviews of the restaurant's food have been mixed over the years, but regulars are beside themselves over the thought of losing their favorite Vietnamese restaurant.
Jeff Aldridge, a regular customer and friend, said he has been frequenting the restaurant since the 1990s, when it was one of only a few Asian restaurants on the avenue.
"I saw this happen," he said, referring to the new, larger restaurant. "It went from an idea to this family's dream realized."
Aldridge said he has seen business decline as the light-rail construction passed through.
"I would crawl through mud to get here, but for a long time, even (going) the back way, it was so hard to get here," Aldridge said. "You can imagine it meant others didn't come."
Nguyen said income was down at least a third since construction began, which amounts to about $30,000 a month in losses. The $15,000 a month mortgage, which doesn't include property taxes or insurance, has been impossible to keep up with, she said.
Mai Village did receive a $400,000 loan from the city -- which has been deferred -- to help build the restaurant. In addition, it received a $20,000 forgivable loan for help with light-rail construction-related losses, but Nguyen said that is a "drop in the bucket."
Ramsey County also reduced the restaurant's property taxes by half when the building's value decreased a few years ago.
The couple have appealed to city leaders for more help but have received little response, Nguyen said.
City Council member Melvin Carter III said his office has done everything it can to help Mai Village, but there isn't enough money to go around to help all the businesses that are suffering.
"It's been really, really tough on a lot of businesses," Carter said. "I would hate to see us lose Mai Village, so I hope something can be worked out."
The Asian Economic Development Association is helping kick-start a campaign to save the restaurant, said executive director Va-Megn Thoj.
"If Mai Village goes out of business, we think other businesses in the district will not do as well," Thoj said. "We consider (Mai Village) an anchor business in that sense. That's one reason we want to help them survive."
To help: The donation link is not yet set up, but "like" this page -- facebook.com/SaveMaiVillage -- on Facebook for updates. Nguyen was adamant that donors know that if the bid to save the restaurant is not successful, all donations will be returned.
Mai Village is at 394 University Ave.; 651-290-2565; maivillage.net.

Shoe Carnival Inc.
) a retailer of family footwear in the United States, recently
trimmed its outlook for the fourth quarter of 2011, as warm weather
conditions adversely affected the demand for boots, particularly
the women's category. On a comparable basis, the sale of boots
dipped 15% in the fourth quarter compared with a double digit rise
in the year ago period.
For the upcoming fourth quarter of 2011, the Evansville, an
Indiana based company slashed its net sales forecast to $181
million - $182 million from the previous range of $186 million -
$190 million and earnings per share guidance to 20 cents to 23
cents from the earlier projection of 33 cents to 36 cents.
Comparable store sales outlook also stands reduced from the prior
projection of negative 1%- to positive 1.0% to negative 3% to
positive 3.5%. The footwear company also expects gross margins to
plunge 170 basis points (bps) in the quarter, attributable to heavy
spending on the promotion of boots.
Based on poor fourth quarter results outlook, Shoe Carnival also
lowered its guidance for the fiscal year 2011. The company cut down
its projection of net sales from $767 to $770 million to $761 to
$762 million; comparable store sales growth from 1.2% to 1.7% to
0.7% and EPS from the range of $2.05 to $2.08 to $1.92 to
The narrowed outlook disappointed investors greatly; and as a
result, the company's share price fell 98 cents to close at $24.38
on Thursday.
In the recently concluded third quarter of 2011, Shoe Carnival
posted its third quarter 2011 earnings of 78 cents per share, in
line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate but above the year-earlier
earnings of 70 cents.
Net sales rose 5.4% year over year to $215.5 million during the
quarter aided by an early back-to-school season, offset somewhat by
decelerating comparable store sales (comps). Comps increased 2.8%
in the quarter versus a 7.2% increase in the year-ago quarter.
Lower-than-expected store traffic trends in late September and
October resulted in modest comps growth. During the quarter, gross
margin increased 10 basis points (bps) to 30.2%.
At present, the company is not only offering women's, men's, and
children's non-athletic footwear, including dresses, casuals,
sport, sandals, and boots but also remaining focused on expansion
through unit growth. The footwear company currently operating
328 stores located in the Midwest, South and Southeast, is on track
to open 30 stores in 2012 as compared to 17 stores in 2011.
In pursuit of its expansion plans, the company intends to make
forays into two new markets; Dallas, Texas, and Puerto Rico in
2012. Shoe Carnival also offers competitive pricing for its
products to continue to attract consumers in this value-sensitive
The Zacks Consensus Revenue Estimates for the fourth quarter of
2011 and fiscal 2011 are pegged at $181 million and $763 million,
respectively. The Zacks Consensus Estimates for the fourth quarter
of 2011 and fiscal 2011 are pegged at 34 cents and $2.08,
respectively. We expect estimates to go down in the coming days as
the company has trimmed its guidance for the coming quarter and
Shoe Carnival, which faces stiff competition from
Foot Locker, Inc.
Lacrosse Footwear Inc.
), expects to report its fourth quarter 2011 results on March 21,
Shoe Carnival currently retains a Zacks #4 Rank, which

92nd Engineers welcomes new battalion commander
July 7, 2011
By PFC Justin Mills, 3rd Sust. Bde. Public Affairs
FORT STEWART, Ga. - The 92nd Engineer Battalion bade farewell to outgoing commander Lt. Col. Diana M. Holland and welcomed Lt. Col. Ken D. Boggs during its change of command ceremony June 23 on Cottrell Field.
Every step of the way [Lt. Col. Holland] was at the helm, ensuring these great Soldiers and their Families were well cared for," said Col. Kent D. Savre, commander of Fort Hood's 36th Engineer Brigade, parent unit for the 92nd Engineers. "She is a truly spirited warrior-leader who established this unit as one of the finest in the Army."
Lieutenant Colonel Holland said she would never have enough time or words to thank everyone she wanted to, but she did take the time to thank her father, who has always been an important influence in her life, and her husband who, like all Army spouses, has been put through a lot.
"A commander could not ask for a better team of leaders than I have had," Lt. Col. Holland said. "It was truly a dream team. Even if I could, I wouldn't change one day of the past three years, nor would I replace a single person on this team. That is a pretty good feeling."
Though it is hard to leave, Lt. Col. Holland said she takes comfort in knowing that she is leaving the Soldiers in the capable hands of Lt. Col. Boggs. She said she knows he is the right officer for the job, and under his leadership, the battalion will thrive.
"With a superb reputation and a wealth of experience, [Lt. Col. Boggs] stood out as the most promising selection to command this battalion," Col. Savre said. "He has served in a variety of challenging leadership positions, is tested in combat, and has always excelled."
Lieutenant Colonel Boggs, who is a graduate of Ranger School, Jumpmaster School, Airborne School and the Jungle Warfare Course, said he was excited to assume the reins of the 92nd Engineers. "It is an honor for Mara [Boggs' wife] and I to be joining this proud battalion," he said.
He added that he was impressed with the Soldiers of the 92nd Engineers.
"You look great," he continued. "Thank you for your service and all the sacrifices you and your Families have made."
Lieutenant Colonel Boggs finished his speech by saying that Holland had every right to be the proudest Soldier on post due to their continued legacy of greatness.
"So today the colors were passed, signifying a change in commanders, but the Black Diamond Soldiers stand fast, proud and ready to move forward and build on their proud history of service to our Nation," Col. Savre said.

Okay I can level with people who said Z prime and Toews now.
Still don't buy the Toews prime > Z prime
This. I think GMR said it best though, are we talking years of top play, or 'peak', as in each player at their very best? Think either way Z takes it.
So if Z scores 80 points next season and Toews scores 65 and both replicated average time on ice and takeaways what do we conclude with that?
Say in playofffs 2016 they replicate similar numbers.
"Number's don't mean anything, Toews still better?" - Just curious so we have the opinions before the season starts.
I know Toews has the added factor that he still kills penalties and Z rarely does anymore (unless Blashill decides to put him and Dats back on penalty killing for some reason). But aside from that fact.
I reckon it would be concluded that Z is better. He's had injuries, especially with the back, and if it can be seen that he's over that and back to his best then him outscoring Toews would go a long was to help his argument. However I don't think scoring is everything. The PK would give Toews an edge, but having said that Z had 10 more blocked shots last year (26 to 16) and Miller lead the league in forwards - does that mean Drew is in the mix? Of course not. People bring different things and I think that's why it's been so difficult to separate these two.
If they had the points you quoted, with similar ice-time, it still wouldn't be enough to draw much of a reasonable conclusion as, say, 25% of Toews ice time would be on the PK. 75% of Z's 80 points would be 60. So for his ES time Toews would be doing better.
But hey, spreadsheets aren't everything (although I personally love them).
EDIT: I thought I'd also say (and I may be the first person to say it) that Z is without doubt far better value for money. But that's very little to do with either player, just a factor in the case of "which would you pick?" Toews, I feel, would have accepted less than what he was offered, but when they offered Kane his contract, they felt they had to offer Toews the same. He'd be a moron if he said "nah, just give me $8m-per". Our front office has always been a bit clever with the cap.

I have a check engine light on. When put on scanner it first said mis fire cylynder 6& 7 so we changed all plugs. Wires light went out for short time. Came back on said cylinder8 mis fire rechanged that plug. Also got new coil pac. Came back on saying 8 again and added catyletic converter code. The light is still on with an intermittent miss mainly when accelerating. Can you help. Also from time to time when heater is on you can smell antifreeze.

Intake manifolds are common for leaking and causing re occuring missfires.
The cat may have gone bad from the missfires adding too much unburnt fuel into the cat.

Here's one big difference between building a company today versus ten years ago: now it can all be based in the cloud.
That's largely thanks to Web business applications, which have multiplied over the last decade and continue to pop up every day. For startups and small businesses, this has been great news since most apps are inexpensive or free and offer powerful, turn-key capabilities.
But with so many new services, the challenge today comes in choosing the best web apps in the market, and one piece of information every business operator wants to know is: what are other savvy businesses using?
To find out, our team at Bestvendor recently surveyed 550 startup leaders -- mostly executive management or marketing folks at companies with 10 or fewer employees -- regarding the web services they use for accounting, web analytics, productivity, design, and a range of other functions. Here are the 10 most popular, according to them. The full results are available on our business tools and hacks blog.
For social media management, 18 percent use Hootsuite and 8 percent use TweetDeck. Another 18 percent listed Facebook, reflecting the social media giant's growing role in business. HootSuite is a social media dashboard. The product allows users to monitor keywords, manage multiple Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Foursquare, Ping.fm and WordPress profiles and schedule messages. It also offers tools for measuring social media campaigns.
When it comes to money, 27 percent use PayPal for payment processing, followed by 7 percent who use Authorize.net. PayPal allows users to send money to anyone with an e-mail address, pay online for goods and services, and receive money for items a user sells.
For project management, Basecamp leads the way with 29 percent, followed by desktop program MS Project with 8 percent. Basecamp is a project management and collaboration tool that provides a simple way to manage to-dos, files, messages, schedules, and company milestones.
For e-mail marketing, 30 percent use Mailchimp, followed by 11 percent with Constant Contact. Mailchimp allows users to design, send, and track HTML e-mail campaigns.
33 percent of surveyors use Evernote for note-taking, followed by 10 percent who use Google Docs, and a number of holdouts who still rely on pen and paper. Evernote--a free app--not only lets users store notes, it can also clip web articles, and even creates electronic versions of paper documents. It's offered as a desktop application, mobile application and web service.
Among developer types, 35 percent use Git for revision control followed by 22 percent who rely on SVN. Git is a system used by developers throughout the product development process, partly because of its emphasis on speed.
Startups love Dropbox, with 39 percent using it for storage and backup, followed by Amazon which is used by 10 percent. Dropbox is a free service that lets users store and easily share photos, documents, and videos from anywhere.
Google Apps was the favorite among 57 percent of surveyors saying they rely on it for company e-mail, followed by 15 percent who use Outlook. The Google Application Suite also includes a calendar, contacts and the very popular Google documents.
For those using CRM, Salesforce.com came out on top with 59 percent. The next most used service, Sugar CRM, is used by 6 percent. Beyond being an enterprise CRM software solution, Salesforce.com also sells other web-hosted applications, including contact management and web-based customer service.
Google Analytics led the pack with 70 percent of surveyors naming it as their web analytics tool -- a huge lead over the next most used services, Omniture and Webtrends at 2 percent each. Among Google Analytics uses is the ability to measure advertising ROI and tracking Flash, video, and social networking sites and applications.

MORGANTOWN--Ohio State called on Friday. He had thought about lining up a trip to Maryland. In the end, "I'm more worried about just this right now," said new Mountaineer football commitment Chris Snook. Where he was "right now" was the University City where earlier on Saturday the 6-foot-3, 223-pound fullback from Medina (Ohio) Highland committed to head football coach Bill Stewart, the third such pledge for the class of 2009. "I went to one combine already, it wasn't much. I'm not going to anymore. I'm just interested in being a Mountaineer," said Snook, who was among several 2009 prospects taking in the Gold-Blue game on the final Junior Day of the spring. ...More...

Viên is the group leader of the 2 Đông Vệ solidarity group, which consists of 3 members. Viên is 33 years old and she is married with 2 children. She lives with 2 dependents in Thanh Hoa city, a semi-urban town in Thanh Hoa province.
In 2010, Viên joined Thanh Hoa Fund for Poor Women to improve her business. Viên has successfully repaid 2 loans from Thanh Hoa Fund for Poor Women. With her business profit, Viên hopes for her business to do well, to build a new house, and improve the quality of her family life.
Additional Information
About Thanh Hoa Microfinance Institution Limited Liability (Thanh Hoa MFI)Thanh Hoa MFI works to provide credit to women and their families in the central Vietnamese province of Thanh Hoa, one of the poorest regions of the country. The institution's target clients are poor and low-income women who have the ability to work but lack the capital. Accordingly, Thanh Hoa MFI prioritizes single mothers, low-income women with children who have dropped out of primary school, and Viet Nam's poorest women who cannot access any formal financial services.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Just as the smartphone is the logical form factor for bringing computer-like functionality to consumers on the go, the tablet is the logical form factor for bringing that same functionality to you "on the go at home," i.e. all over the house. A study showed that a majority of iPad users already use the tablet while watching TV--Apple would do well to integrate the iPad into their hypothetical iTV as the means of user input, and to display additional content. It would greatly simplify browsing Netflix, for example, or watching Internet video on the big screen, and so forth. I believe this fits quite nicely into Apple's current strategy.

$400 was the high water mark before the market correction in August. The fact that it's back already, unlike the rest of the market, shows that AAPL is the "stock of last resort" for those decreasing their equity exposure. There is no reason to expect this to change even if the markets breach the 1100 level. If you must short, don't short AAPL. There are more efficient uses of your money.

I had the same thought, techy. MSFT is clearly trying to get back in the game and I think they'll have some success.
The trend in the tech industry seems to be away from function-specific devices, and towards context-specific devices. People used to use a phone for making calls, a TV for watching TV, a computer for browsing the Internet, and so forth. Now people want to be able to make calls, watch TV, and browse the Internet wherever they go. Windows 8 is perfectly suited for this type of cross-platform functionality.Aug 14, 2011. 11:11 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

This is exactly the kind of lunacy I'm talking about. I am long AAPL and agree with price targets as high as $600 in the next few years, barring any macroeconomic disruptions. But to come on here like so many AAPL fans do and scream and holler about any little thing that isn't wildly optimistic and congratulatory reeks of misplaced stock "loyalty" and emotional attachment.

Let's Talk About Genocide: Shurat HaDin and The Genocide Legalization Conference
May 14, 2015 § Leave a comment
This week, the organization Shurat HaDin is having a conference titled "Towards a New Law of War". They don't hide where their alliances lie, and on their online conference page (nostalgically illustrated with WWII British bombers) you can find their Western-supremacist and racist agenda stated loud and clear:
…exchange ideas regarding the development of armed conflict legal doctrine favorable to Western democracies engaged in conflict against nontraditional, non-democratic, non-state actors.
Let's Talk About Genocide: The State of Israel Vs. William A. Schabas
February 8, 2015 § Leave a comment
Since Israel's latest attack on the besieged Gaza Strip, last summer, I've been researching the issue of Israel's genocide [1,2,3,4]. I quickly found out that I'm not the only one, and although the subject has been addressed by scholars, politicians, UN bodies, and Palestinian civil society since 1982, this attack has prompted an unprecedented amount of criticism and study.
The sudden popular resurgence of the term, especially coming from President Mahmoud Abbas, has already prompted many independent articles, rejecting not only the terminology, but mostly the users of the term. From Liberal Zionists calling those who charge genocide "the loony left" and "antisemitic"; to hard-core right-wingers like government- funded StandWithUs with the help of fox news, with the tried-and-true "what about Syria, Iran, Iraq" and anything else that isn't the issue of discussion and furthers Islamophobia; to AIPAC with the ironic claim that naming the crime hinders peace, and quotations from none other than Benjamin Netanyahu that "we warned them" and after we bombed the hell out of them, we gave them "tons of humanitarian aid." That said, I've yet to see an organised government initiative on the subject. Until now.

Israelpolitik, the Neocons and the Long Shadow of the Iraq War—A Review of Muhammad Idrees Ahmad's book 'The Road to Iraq: The Making of a Neoconservative War'
January 30, 2015 § Leave a comment
This essay first appeared in The Drouth ('The Thirst'), a quarterly magazine published in Glasgow (Issue 50, Winter 2014/2015). I wrote it in December 2014.
The Road to Iraq: The Making of a Neoconservative War
By Muhammad Idrees Ahmad
Edinburgh University Press
Reviewed by Danny Postel
I was reluctant to review this book. With all the dramatic developments in the Middle East today—the ISIS crisis, the siege of Kobanê, the deepening nightmare in Syria, the escalating repression in Egypt, the fate of Tunisia's democratic transition, the sectarianization of regional conflicts driven by the Saudi-Iranian rivalry—delving back into the 2003 invasion of Iraq seemed rather less than urgent. It's hard enough just to keep up with the events unfolding day-to-day in the region. Reading—let alone reviewing—a detailed study of the internal processes that led to the United States toppling Saddam Hussein over a decade ago seemed remote, if not indeed a distraction.
But I'm glad I set these reservations aside and took the assignment. This forcefully argued and meticulously researched (with no fewer than 1,152 footnotes, many of which are full-blown paragraphs) book turns out to be enormously relevant to the present moment, on at least three fronts:
- ISIS emerged from the ashes of al Qaeda in Iraq, which formed in the immediate aftermath of the 2003 invasion and occupation of Iraq. Without the 2003 invasion, there would be no ISIS as we know it—and the region's political landscape would look very different.
- The US Senate report on CIA torture has brought back into focus the rogues gallery of the Bush-Cheney administration—the same cast of characters who engineered the 2003 Iraq invasion. This book shines a heat lamp on that dark chapter and many of its protagonists.
- There is talk of a neoconservative comeback in Washington. This thoroughly discredited but zombie-like group are now angling for the ear of Hillary Clinton, who might be the next US president. Ahmad's book provides a marvelously illuminating anatomy of the neocons, which has lessons that apply directly to this movement's potentially ominous next chapter.
The central question Ahmad attempts to answer is: Why did the 2003 Iraq War happen? In one of the book's most valuable sections, felicitously titled 'Black Gold and Red Herrings', he goes through several prevalent explanations/theories and takes them apart one by one: « Read the rest of this entry »

Captain D's eyes South Carolina growth
Seafood restaurant operator Captain D's continues to focus its expansion attention on the Southeast. Having recently signed franchise deals covering the Atlanta and Tallahassee markets, Chief Development Officer Michael Arrowsmith and his team are adding South Carolina to the list. Arrowsmith this week told The State that the Nashville-based chain wants to add 10 stores to that number in and around Columbia, where it now runs four stores.
Captain D's inks Florida, Georgia franchise deals
Captain D's inks another franchise deal
More same-store growth from Captain D's
Seafood restaurant chain Captain D's finished 2013 on a tasty note, with fourth-quarter same-store sales growing 2.6 percent from the year before. For all of last year, growth was 3.2 percent, driven in part by the rollout of 60 new or remodeled restaurants sporting the company's new design pictured here.
"Captain D's success is only just beginning," said CEO Phil Greifeld. "Our talented team continues to implement a systematic strategy that has seen consistent success with our current units, ensuring that any unit we add will be able to reap the financial benefits of our proven model."
Captain D's rolling out grilled items
Captain D's is looking to grilled menu items to provide the next kick in its post-recession growth spurt. (For more on that, here's our CEO of the Year profile from last spring.) After testing a group of Fire Grilled offerings in Nashville last year, the company is now busily installing the necessary equipment across its 525-unit system. The plan is to finish that job by the end of this quarter.
New majority owner for Captain D's
Strong Q3 same-store numbers from Captain D's
Nashville-based seafood chain Captain D's said its third-quarter same-store sales were up 3.2 percent from mid-2012, with company-owned locations putting in ever better numbers. The 3.2 percent gain falls nicely between the performances from Q1 (+1.6 percent) and Q2 (+5.3 percent).
The company's push to add grilled items and upgrade its stores has now produced 26 straight months of same-store growth. Two year system-wide same-store sales during the quarter was an impressive 14.1 percent.
Captain D's inks multi-unit franchise agreement
Captain D's announced Tuesday that franchisees Val and Jim McClure, who operate four Captain D's locations under the name VJM Seafood, have signed a deal to open an additional three locations in northern Georgia.
The move comes on the heels of a multi-unit signing from Townsend Foods, owned by 11-year franchise veteran Bill Townsend, for four additional locations in Alabama and Tennessee.
Officials with the Nashville-based fast casual seafood chain also announced Tuesday a strong second quarter involving same store sales, which marks 23 consecutive months of compounding sales growth.
"Captain D's unit-level economics are very strong and provide our franchisees with best-in-class QSR returns," CEO Phil Greifeld (pictured) said in a release. "Our current franchisees have shown strong dedication and interest in the growth of our brand."

Luke Spehar played on Van Morrison's "Crazy Love."
I saw Ben a long time ago at RIT College in Rochester, NY (Jack Johnson opening for him) at a time when his music affected me DEEPLY, but I was too concerned with getting high and being young to enjoy his talent. Last night was a privilege, an honor, and an amazing experience. The scope of Ben's musical talent vocally, instrumentally, and writing clearly has its roots in that music store and his grandparents and I thank God he was born into that situation and it nurtured a music loving soul which after years of writing, playing, singing, and touring grew into what we heard last night.
Ben knocked the top of so many songs that night and it was obvious his heart and soul where into sharing certain songs to the point where it made me smirk out of a reverence for what I was hearing, or I'd get the shivers out of amazement how deep he was throwing himself into the lyrics, and it made me look forward immensely to sharing his music with my kids who are too young now to understand but can certainly enjoy the melodies.
Thank you Ben for being so raw and real with your passion for music.

I got an Etrex Venture HC for X-mas. It's still boxed w/ receipt so I can exchange it if needed. Can this gps make maps on my computer from tracking my previous outings? That's what I wanted a gps for, to map out trails and whatnot. I've been searching for the answer, but haven't found it yet.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Display Project
Toward Next Generation Downscaling for Hydrologic Prediction in the Pacific Northwest (Using Multivariate Adaptive Constructed Analogs – Variable Infiltration)
Affiliation: Northwest CSC
Philip Mote (Oregon State University)
Dennis Lettenmaier (University of Washington)
John Abatzoglou (University of Idaho)
Start Date: August 2011
End Date: July 2013
Project Status: Completed
Tags: Climate Change, Downscaling, Hydrology, CSC, Northwest CSC, 2011
Fiscal Year: FY 2011 Projects
A wide range of resource managers, policymakers, and scientists require tools to provide information relevant for water resource management and planning. One such tool is the Variable Infiltration Capacity model, which can be used to simulate water flows throughout the Columbia River Basin in the Pacific Northwest. Previously this model used just three numbers as inputs for each day of the simulation: the high and low temperatures and the daily total precipitation. This project investigated several other approaches to providing additional information, three of which consist of different statistical ways of mapping temperature and precipitation onto the mountainous landscape ("downscaling"), and one that uses fine-scale regional climate modeling. Our findings help advance the next generation of climate-hydrology simulations that will provide guidance for studies of climate change impacts on the hydrology of the Pacific Northwest.

H. W. Garrod
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heathcote William Garrod (1878-1960) was a British classical scholar and literary scholar. He was Fellow of Merton College, Oxford for over 60 years. He was Oxford Professor of Poetry from 1923 to 1928.
From 1929-1930 Garrod was the Charles Eliot Norton professor at Harvard University.
Though the remark is frequently attributed to others more famous, more reliable sources give him as the person who, when accosted by a woman during the First World War asking why he was not with the soldiers fighting to defend civilization, replied: 'Madam, I am the civilization they are fighting to defend'.[1]

- In 2011 the Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi) researched India's role as a humanitarian donor, highlighting challenges and opportunities. In an effort to improve the transparency of its foreign aid operations, the Indian government has established a new body for governing outgoing development assistance, the Development Partnership Administration (DPA).
- India endorsed IATI at the High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan in December 2011.
- Humanitarian assistance and official development assistance (ODA) can be viewed in the wider context of resource flows that can be mobilised in Development Initiatives' Investments to End Poverty (ITEP) report – India country profile.

A minor car crash may have saved a 66-year-old's life.
Paul T. Holloway only realized his roommate was plotting to kill him after a minor traffic accident sent him to the emergency room -- where doctors discovered a bullet in the Florida man's head, according to police.
Holloway, 66, was shot while he slept on Dec. 8 by roommate Paul Anthony Edwards Jr. and an accomplice identified as Christopher M. Martin, both 22, Cocoa Beach police told The Orlando Sentinel.
The pair wanted to free up the apartment for a new roommate and claim Holloway's Social Security check, Florida Today reports.
Holloway awoke when he heard the shot, but thought he suffered a stroke and a subsequent head injury.
"Once he realized he was injured, he basically went back to bed, got up later that afternoon, decided he was going down south for something and got into a minor car crash," Cocoa Beach Police Department Major Jay Harmon told CFNews13.
He did not seek medical attention, but after crashing his car later that day, doctors realized he had been shot. If he never made it to the hospital, he might have perished, police said.
Edwards and Martin have been charged with attempted murder.
As of Wednesday, Holloway was hospitalized in critical condition, according to MyFoxOrlando.
Paul Anthony Edwards Jr. has been arrested in the shooting of his 66-year-old roommate. Edwards and an accomplice allegedly shot Paul T. Holloway once while the victim slept on Dec. 8. Holloway didn't realize he had been shot, thinking instead that he had suffered a stroke. It was only after Holloway was involved in a minor car accident that doctors found a bullet lodged in his head and realized the Florida man was at the center of a botched murder plot, police say.
Investigators say Paul Anthony Edwards Jr. and his accomplice tried to kill Paul T. Holloway to make space for another roommate and so they could steal his Social Security check.
Christopher M. Martin has been charged with attempted murder for his alleged role in the shooting of Paul T. Holloway. Martin, 22, and Paul Anthony Edwards Jr. are accused of shooting Paul T. Holloway once while he slept on Dec. 8. Holloway awoke when he heard the shot, but thought he had suffered a stroke. He only realized he had been shot when doctors dislodged a bullet from his head after he was involved in a minor car accident later that day.
Martin was arrested on Dec. 13.

I talked to my Dr today and told her I have had pressure and cramping in my lower region for about two weeks now. She freaked and told me to get to her office immeadiatyl.
I went in and was found to have a very bad UTI. I was put on antibiotics immeadiatly.
Please learn from my mistake, I put the babys life in danger not catching the other symptoms. Apparently if it went on any longer baby would have died..... Pretty upset right now.
I had no other symptoms, no burning, itching frequent urination etc... None of it just the pressure. I should have called earlier.
Dr explained this is very common in pregnancy so be careful. I now have to have my urine tested twice a month to watch for more bladder infections.

Photos: 22 local college stars who were picked in the NFL Draft... where did your favorite players end up?
Photo: Ronald Martinez/Getty Images
Kenny Stills, WR, Oklahoma / Drafted: 5th round, 114th overall by New Orleans / Verdict: This couldn't have been what Stills had in mind when he left OU a year early for the NFL. A fall to the fifth was disappointing, but he landed in a pretty good spot in New Orleans, where Drew Brees has a habit of making super stars out of unheralded targets. Just ask Marques Colston and Lance Moore, both of whom were undrafted.

Hell yea
June 21, 2014 BY Brendan Dunne / 31
Could the red suede Air Jordan 14 "Ferrari" end up as the most celebrated colorway of that sneaker? It's got history standing in its way: OG devotees of the Air Jordan line will likely never put them higher on a favorites list than the likes of the moment-making Air Jordan 14 "Last Shot". With that being said, the younger generation seems particularly drawn to these sort of dripping red looks, so they'll definitely have their supporters. See the shoes in better detail below and tell us in the comments if you're excited for this new pair of Jordan 14s.

Hell yea

Wen they coming out?
Coz ur hyping it Jerome Sunga
Ox blood
Am luuuvin it!!!
Most people don't know that the 14s were actually designed to look like his Ferrari if you look at the shoe from the back
It's a hot shoe.
Love the 14s but not feeling these
You guys know these will never make it to the market, right? Puma has the Ferrari deal, not nike.
These r hot must cop
Never thought the lack of stitching/seams on an upper could make or break a shoe but it did right here
Too many red shoes this year
I'd cop. Dope colorway, but cleaning suede is a nightmare, (Reebok Question Draft Picks) so I'm just gonna pass on these. Prefer the "Black Toe" variant, anyway.
how can you hate these? cop man...no question
Where are the seams ? The sneaker looks worn out and deflated.
If you don't have a Ferrari whats the point.
The carbon fiber on the mid sole will alleviate the creasing 14's get in that area which makes me more excited to have a pair. I've seen all I needed too....Cop.
Not bad but a pass for me.
I will bet you any amount of money that they will
There is no Ferrari emblem on them tho nobody owns the red black yellow color scheme
@Cpack what does that have to do with the sneakers?? I don't get it.
I doubt if its actual carbon fiber
@inTheNameofQuen I'm hoping it's either carbon or even a synthetic material similar. But it is JB tho lol.
@maddenroyale @inTheNameofQuen It's CLEARLY going to be an applied graphic.
We'll see in more pics these pics look better then the last ones tho

Flemeth: So refreshing to see someone who keeps their end of a bargain. I half expected my amulet to end up in a merchant's pocket.
Hawke: No-one wanted to buy it. Maybe because it had a witch inside?
Flemeth: Just a piece. A small piece, but it was all I needed. A bit of security, should the inevitable occur - and if I know my Morrigan, it already has...

I struggle to use QWebElement. As an exercise, I would like to capture the "Google" logo from page http://www.google.com. The image is in

Thank you.

With Cheney's logic, Pelosi is a hero
The May 15 article "Pelosi: CIA Misled Lawmakers About Waterboarding" highlights the bizarre logic and twisted view of morality that Dick Cheney and his supporters inflicted on the world for eight years.
Confronted with clear evidence that the Bush administration broke U.S. and international laws and the Geneva Conventions, their defense is, "Nancy Pelosi knew about it and didn't stop us." This is like a mass murderer telling a judge he's innocent because he told his wife he was killing people, but she didn't stop him.
At the same time, Mr. Cheney tells us that torture is good, and he's proud of what he did. Does he mean Ms. Pelosi is to be congratulated for not stopping him?
So, according to the moral values of Bush and Cheney, Nancy Pelosi is an accessory to a crime, which makes her a national hero - just like them.

This is typical gay editing (seriously). When ever she gets groped, the picture angle gets distorted, or too close to see anything. The only time the picture is normal, is when cock is being sucked, anal, etc. We don't edit their interests, but they edit all of ours. Unbelieveable..!!
Tilt the camera!

Nothing better than licking a sexy lady after she has been working all day at the office and her pantyhose smell & taste like juicy pussy
