continued - page 2
And so on and so on. Sanders additionally pointed out that the family of former Exxon/Mobil CEO Lee Raymond, who received a $400 million retirement package, would receive about $164 million in tax breaks.
Compare that to the Commodity Supplemental Food Program, which Bush proposes be completely eliminated, at a savings of $108 million over ten years. The program sent one bag of groceries per month to 480,000 seniors, mothers and newborn children.
Somehow, to me, that's the worst one on the list. Here you have the former CEO of a company that scored record profits even as it gouged consumers, with gas prices rising more than 70 percent since January of 2001. There is a direct correlation between the avarice of oil company executives and the increased demand for federal aid for heating oil programs like LIHEAP, and yet the federal government wants to reward these same executives for raising prices on the backs of consumers.
Even if you're a traditional, Barry Goldwater conservative, the kinds of budgets that Bush has sent to the hill not only this year but this whole century are the worst-case scenario; they increase spending generally while cutting taxes and social programming. They commit taxpayers to giant subsidies of already Croseus-rich energy corporations, pharmaceutical companies and defense manufacturers while simultaneously cutting taxes on those who most directly benefit from those subsidies. Thus you're not cutting spending -- you're just cutting spending on people who actually need the money. (According to the Washington Times, which in a supremely ironic twist of fate did one of the better analyses of the budget, spending will be 1.6 percent of GDP higher in the 2008 budget than in was in 2000, while revenues will be 2.6 percent of GDP lower). This is something different from traditional conservatism and something different from big-government liberalism; this is a new kind of politics that transforms the state into a huge, ever-expanding instrument for converting private savings into corporate profit.
That's not only bad government, it's bad capitalism. It makes legalized bribery and political connections more important factors than performance and competition in the corporate marketplace. Beyond that, it's just plain fucking offensive to ordinary people. It's one thing to complain about paying taxes when those taxes are buying a bag of groceries once a month for some struggling single mom in eastern Kentucky. But when your taxes are buying a yacht for some asshole who hires African eight year-olds to pick cocoa beans for two cents an hour ... I sure don't remember reading an excuse for that anywhere in the Federalist Papers.
I also don't remember reading much about this year's budget. It was a story for about half a minute when it came out two weeks ago. It barely made TV newscasts, and even when it did, only the broad strokes made it on air. There was some fuss about the Alternative Minimum Tax and a mild uproar over the fact that the 2008 budget failed to account for estimates of the costs for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But overall, the budget was a non-starter as a news story. As it does every year, it takes a back seat to hot-button issues like gay marriage, the latest election scandal, etc. Already, the 2008 election presidential campaign has gotten far more ink than the 2008 budget. As entertainment, bullshit politics always triumphs over real politics.
Here's the thing about the system of news coverage we have today. If the Walton family, or Lee Raymond, or the heirs to the Mars fortune actually needed the news media to work better than it does now, believe me, it would work better. But they have no such need, because the system is working just fine for them as is. The people it's failing are the rest of us, and most of the rest of us, apparently, would rather sniff Anna Nicole Smith's corpse or watch Britney Spears hump a fire hydrant than find out what our tax dollars are actually paying for.
Shit, when you think about it that way, why not steal from us? People that dumb don't deserve to have money.

text: Home Politics Egyptian Presidential Election Results Due Sunday Announcement of the winner of Egypt's recent presidential race is expected this weekend. By: Hillary Crosley Posted: June 23 2012 11:48 AM 0 Supporters of Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt (Marwan Naamani/AFP/Getty Images) Egypt's presidential race may finally conclude this Sunday, according to the BBC. In the meantime, as former president Hosni Mubarak's health fluctuates in prison where he is serving time for his numerous crimes, both candidates Mohammed Mursi and Ahmed Shafiq have claimed the political seat. The delayed results of Egypt's presidential run-off will be announced on Sunday, the election commission has said. It has been considering appeals by the two candidates - Mohammed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood and the former Prime Minister Ahmed Shafiq. They have both claimed victory and say they will appoint unity governments. Muslim Brotherhood supporters have been demonstrating in central Cairo to demand the announcement of the result. The BBC's Jon Leyne in the capital, Cairo, says the country is deeply polarised, and there are fears that the final announcement might only make matters worse. Results from last weekend's run-off election were originally due out on Thursday. Read more at the BBC. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter.

The Movement for the Resignation of President Askar Akaev and Reforms for the People -- a new opposition grouping launched on 14 August -- had a rocky first week. The government immediately fired a warning shot across its bow and the movement was also criticized by some leading opposition figures who might have been expected to sympathize with its aims.
The movement was founded by representatives of 22 opposition political parties, public organizations, and NGOs, including the Communist, Erkindik, and Asaba parties, the "Kyrgyzstan" bloc of deputies in the Legislative Assembly (the lower chamber of parliament), the Kyrgyz Committee on Human Rights, and others, Kabar news agency reported on 15 August. General Ismail Isakov, a lawmaker who serves as chairman of the parliamentary Security Committee, was elected to head the movement. As its spokesmen made clear at an inaugural press conference in Bishkek on 14 August, the movement owes its origins to two so-called People's Conferences held earlier this year. They were organized as public forums to discuss the 17-18 March antigovernment riots that left six dead in the country's southern Aksy Raion in Djalalabad Oblast. The first was held in April, the second in July. On both occasions, participants called on Akaev to step down.
As its name proclaims, the president's resignation remains the movement's primary objective, which its members say is widely shared by the populace. "We have been in our districts and saw that more than 80 percent of the people demand Akaev's early resignation, since they don't trust him," said deputy Adakham Madumarov of the "Kyrgyzstan" parliamentary group, as quoted by AP on 21 August.
The movement's plan, according to its leader Isakov, is that Akaev should quit, his duties should temporarily be shouldered by the prime minister, and a coalition government should be formed pending new presidential elections. The movement's broader objective is to press for reforms in the power structure. To this end, it has created a council charged with drafting changes to the constitution. The changes are aimed at devolving some of the executive branch's many powers to the parliament, AP reported.
In a statement released on 14 August, the movement emphasized that it would work within the law, fighting for its goals "through peaceful and constitutional means." But it had barely unfurled its sails before the government threatened to sink it. On 15 August, the day after it was launched, Deputy Prime Minister Kurmanbek Osmonov said the movement is an illegal formation and contravenes the Kyrgyz Constitution, RFE/RL's Bishkek bureau reported. Osmonov added that the authorities are considering taking legal steps against the group.
The government elaborated its position on 21 August in a statement carried by akipress.org. The statement said that the executive, as guarantor of the constitution and defender of "social order and security," is taking every measure to stabilize the situation in the country after the Aksy incidents. Hence it must act when stability is threatened or the constitution is in danger, and it indicated that Movement for the Resignation of President Askar Akaev is a menace on both counts. It reiterated that Osmonov was expressing the government's position in his remarks about the fledgling movement. Moreover, it commented dryly that if the deputy prime minister's words were "not to the taste of certain leaders," then that proved again that the opposition forces' support for the rule of law in the republic is "only words."
Meanwhile, support for Akaev's resignation seems to be mounting, notably in the south of the country where the March tragedy took place. At two separate meetings in Djalalabad Oblast on 16 and 18 August, participants backed the new movement's call for the president to quit, adopting resolutions that accused him of tribalism, implementing a corrupt cadre policy, and "selling" Kyrgyz territory to China. They set an ultimatum of 1 October for him to step down.
A report by Kyrgyz Infocenter News on 19 August added to perceptions that tensions between the north and south of the country are growing, as it discussed possible successors to Akaev and named six men, all but one whom was from the southern Naryn and Osh regions. From the Naryn clan, it mentioned parliamentarian Turdakun Usubaliev, Deputy Justice Minister Tashtemit Aitbaev (Usubaliev's protege), and Naryn Governor Askar Salymbekov as the people to watch. From the Osh clan, the report spotlighted the current governor, Naken Kasiev, and former Osh Governor Temirbek Akmataliev. Akmataliev, who went on to become interior minister, has been reviled by human rights activists who say he gave the order for police to fire into crowds in Aksy. Last week he was appointed to be a departmental head in the presidential administration.
Yet the movement also drew some criticism from unexpected quarters last week. In an interview with the independent newspaper "Moya stolitsa" on 19 August, jailed former Vice President and opposition Ar-Namys party leader Feliks Kulov argued that calls for a campaign to impeach Akaev are unrealistic. Kulov said that rather than demand Akaev's resignation, the opposition People's Congress of Kyrgyzstan of which he is president will demand that those officials responsible for the deaths of demonstrators during the 17-18 March clashes be brought to justice. The following day, Omurbek Tekebaev, chairman of the socialist party Ata Meken, told Interfax that the president's resignation would only complicate the political circumstances in the country.
An International Crisis Group report on the situation in Kyrgyzstan, released on 20 August, also argued that Akaev "is unlikely to resign voluntarily, and the result of such a strategy is likely to be more confrontation." The report recommended that the opposition, instead of aligning itself into public movements, focus on creating credible political parties to contest the 2005 elections. It stressed that free and fair elections are the only route to a peaceful transfer of power. Kyrgyzstan's ruling elite are enjoined to make a genuine effort to allow more power sharing in politics and business in order to limit the possibilities for more unrest and "ensure that future political struggles remain within the constitutional framework."
A redistribution of power between the presidency, which many regard as excessively strong if not unbridled, and the legislature is also one of the new movement's goals. But in fact, as the Institute for War and Peace Reporting (IWPR) noted on 16 August, Akaev did begin to relinquish some of his authority to parliament earlier this month -- agreeing, for example, to share his power to appoint the judiciary, and his hitherto total control over the creation and dissolution of administrations. According to IWPR, his opponents have interpreted the surprise concessions as a desperate bid to save his career, "to divide his opponents and stave off calls for his resignation."

I'm 8 weeks 2 days and look like I am 5 months. With my 1st (12 yrs ago) I didn't show until I was 7 months, w/my 2nd (now 11 months) I started showing around 4 months. With this one I am huge! MD said I am also still postpartum and that you get bigger quicker the more pregnancies you have (technically this is my sixth - I had 2 late miscarriages and 1 early miscarriage). It does get embarrasing when people have to put in their 2 cents and comment on how big you are and start saying how it is not good for the baby, but my MD said not to worry about it and what is weird is I have only put on a couple of pounds!posted 07/10/2008 by Mom to JC and JD
This is my second child and it's comforting to know that I'm not the only one who feels like I'm already blowing up like a balloon. Thanks to everyone for all the helpful posts.posted 07/09/2008 by emhappoldt
I am 8 weeks pregnant with my sixth child. I've noticed my abdomen has changed a little. I have that "fat" feeling also. It's been 5 years since my last baby and I can't remember how soon I started to show. I've lost 10 pounds because I have morning sickness so bad that I can't keep anything down. I never had morning sickness like this with any of my pregnancies. Another thing, I find it difficult to lay on my stomach. Does anyone else have this problem?posted 06/20/2008 by a BabyCenter Member

I am so relieved to hear others with this issue. This is my first and I was large to begin with. I lost a few pounds during my first few weeks and was feeling OK about my size. All of a sudden, the weight came back on and I have the "jiggly, loose" belly that others have mentioned...definitly not as cute as a typical "pregnancy bump." I look forward to looking preggo rather than fat!posted 06/07/2008 by freetorelax
I am 7 weeks and 5 days. I feel bloated almost. I am guessing from these responses to your post that this is normal. My fiancee was rubbing my tummy and telling me how cute I was. I wanted to slap him. I feel like I am 5 months along but Im not. So this is normal for a second pregnancy?posted 06/02/2008 by Fritzy04
I am eight weeks along as well and I have already gained quite a bit of weight. I have been avoiding my regular jeans at all costs because they are so tight around my belly, and even my legs and butt. This is my first time around and I'm feeling a little discouraged and fat. I can't wait until I look pregnant rather than looking like I'm just packing on the pounds.posted 05/26/2008 by expecting the stork
Before I got pregnant I had been slowly gaining weight and kept thinking I must be pregnant but my period just didn't stop. So when the test finaly came back positive I thought, thank goodness, now there is a good reason I'm plumping up. (I had always been a little skinny thing but since I went off the pill and turned 30 in the same year, it showed!!) So now I can't tell if I'm really getting big or not. I"m 8 weeks w/my first one and I'm skipping the jeans already...ugh, way too confining! I looked at maternity shorts already, but couldn't bring myself to buy them just yet! I wear scrubs to work w/elastic waist in back and drawstring in front and I'm already feeling a little snug in those too. They used to fall down if I didn't time em, but not so much any more!! I'm sure I'm just bloated and gassy w/ a little pudge mixed in!! There's gonna be a lot of drawstring knit pants in my dresser for the next few months!!posted 05/25/2008 by fuzzball420
i am 8 weeks 1 day with my second child and i am already showing greatly. i noticed the pouch was turning into the pregnant belly about 2 weeks ago. already none of my pants fit so im now going into a small maternity size pants. i just find them more comfortable. when i was pregnant with my first child (who is not 1 1/2) i starting showing early aswell. not this early but by 3 months i found myself feeing more comfy in sweats and then moved into maternity wear. the doc told me its normal to "show" early with every pregnancy after your first. your skin is still stretched so therefor it takes from faster. also i have noticed my recovering stretch marks are getting darker and my skin is very itchy. cocoa butter works wondersposted 05/22/2008 by lilmamatink

Lincs League Cross Country - Match 1
RAF Cranwell
28 October 2007
The Lincolnshire League cross country season got off to a flying start on a fast circuit around the sports fields and surrounding countryside of RAF Cranwell. With firm going underfoot the track specialists were always going to be favoured
but a very strong wind sweeping across the course did put some emphasis on stamina.
In the senior women's race Lucinda Pitcher was soon at the head of the field. She drew further away as the race progressed and was a long way in front at the line. Jane Clarke (4th) and Kathy Warhurst (11th) completed the winning team with Janette Dunderdale a little further back in 15th and Pat Kimpton 46th. The very promising Bo Haywood picked up another win in the U13 Girls race with Abby Donnelly 8th and Katie McMunn 18th. And a third individual Wellington success came from Alex Humberstone in the combined U11 Boys and Girls race. Katrina Thomas was 3rd (1st girl) with Joseph Wass 26th. Only two of the U15 Boys squad turned but both did well with Ian Maplethorpe taking 2nd place with Matt Bee not far away in 3rd. There were team wins for Wellington in both of the U17 races. Sara Davey made good late headway to finish runner-up in the U17 womens race just ahead of new member Rochelle Harrison. Holly Haywood finished in 4th spot with Ellie Clarke 5th, Francis Aitchison 6th and Charlotte Spratt 7th. Stuart Campbell led in the U17 mens squad in 2nd place with Jack Cornwell 6th and Chris Woodger 7th. Further down the field were Jon Humberstone 10th, Max Weir 11th, Ben Rowe 14th, Sam Manders 16th, Neil Humberstone 18th and Gavin Campbell 19th.
In a big senior mens field Mick Jagger led till halfway before eventually taking 2nd place. Danny Roome was 15th with Phil Malt right behind him in 16th. Richard Titchmarsh came next in 46th position ahead of Simon Machin 74th and Neil Campbell 76th. There was a huge club turnout in the U15 Girls race and a team win was duly notched up. Laura Donnelly had a good run to finish 5th with Ellie Jones 7th and Megan Ball 8th completing the winning team. Hester Talbot came next in 9th spot followed by Jasmine Cornwell 11th and Caitlin Lynch 12th. Becky Wells, Sheridan McWilliam, Mary-Ann Phillips and Gemma Selwood were closely grouped in 13th to 16th places and were followed by Laura McMunn 22nd, Lindsey Campbell 29th and Laura Maplethorpe 39th. Dylan Love was first across the line for Wellington in the U13 Boys race in 5th place. He was some way ahead of Luke Martin 15th, Connor Malt 20th and Jake Moss 26th.
This was a highly satisfactory start to the winter season and Wellington will be wheeling out their big guns in force next weekend at the National cross country relays at Berry Hill Park, Mansfield with high hopes of some prominent performances in a number of the races.

I just asked my doctor about this 3 weeks ago and I am currently 27 weeks pregnant. He said that since he is a physician and its a known fact that tanning increases the risk for skin cancer, he recommends against it. However, skin cancer aside, as for whether or not it will harm the fetus, he said it will not do any harm. He said the rays, artificial or not, cannot possibly penetrate deep enough to cause any internal damage to the body or to the fetus. If they could, then anyone who tanned, pregnant or not, would be cooked on the inside.posted 05/05/2008 by a BabyCenter Member

Mass Observation, from abdication to beer
James Hinton
A history, 1937–1949
401pp. Oxford University Press. £30 (US $55).
978 0 19 967104 5
N o social historian of twentieth-century Britain is in any doubt what Mass Observation is for. Nor are scholars (among them James Hinton himself) who have compiled books extracted from the diaries of the M-O archive, now lodged at the University of Sussex, nor those who have edited M-O diaries for publication, including Naomi Mitchison's incomparable Among You Taking Notes (1985), nor the publishers of the diaries kept by a Barrow-in-Furness housewife, Nella Last, on which the popular television play Housewife 49, starring Victoria Wood, was based. Such material – notes from observers, surveys, answers to directives, diaries, letters – gives an immediacy and an authenticity to everyday life which frequently also deflates and subverts the official version of events.
Yet what the purpose of Mass-Observation was remains a legitimate question, one that gets to the heart of a historical issue – how does the individual experience add up to a theory of society? How are the quantitative and the qualitative related? These are also the kinds of questions that those who created Mass-Observation, as well as the observers and observed, asked themselves repeatedly. Mass-Observation was the creation of the ornithologist (a noted authority on the Great Crested Grebe) turned anthropologist, Tom Harrisson, and the dreamier, surrealist poet and active Communist Party member, Charles Madge. It was set up in 1937, conceived in the elegant south London house of Madge and his then wife, the poet Kathleen Raine, with Harrisson in attendance. Harrisson had recently returned from a field trip to the New Hebrides, struck by the fact that while the newly popular subject of anthropology meant that an increasing amount was known about the lifestyles, rituals and beliefs of so-called primitive societies, little was known about the British people themselves, what they thought, believed, how they lived their lives. And it mattered: to Harrisson and Madge the abdication of Edward VIII had proved – if proof were needed – how wide was the gulf between the government and the people, the establishment and the "masses". There was no mechanism for finding out what most people thought about events that affected their lives – and moreover those in charge seemed not to care about this state of affairs, in a supposedly mature democracy, responsive to the needs of the electorate.
So, while Madge stayed in London, surrounding himself with the "urban intelligentsia", and set about finding ways to "uncover the unconscious" of the British people, to "combat superstition in the name of science", the invariably unwashed, chain-smoking Harrisson decamped to Bolton (known as Worktown by M-O) to live among the working (or frequently unemployed) masses where he lodged in squalor with a surprisingly well-connected group of eager proto-sociologists and writers including William Empson, who was once dispatched to check out the footfall in Bolton's sweet shops.
Was there hysteria or defeatist talk? The reports still make salutary reading
The findings of these keen volunteers – observers who made every effort not to be observed themselves as they scribbled notes – included how long did it take a man to drink a pint of beer? and how were towels in public lavatories used? But as one observer pointed out, Harrisson "did not really know what we were trying to find out, so in general we observed everything". Nor was it clear how the information gathered would – or could – be used. Indeed, how could the observation that "a long haired, unkempt man in a dirty raincoat, pulled a tortoise out from his pocket and threatened a woman with it" be contextualized?
The Second World War gave a focus – and some much-needed funding – to Mass-Observation when, after initial scepticism about a "load of alarmist pinkos", the Ministry of Information employed M-O to act as a barometer for that elusive concept, the morale of the British people. The organization came into its own with its Blitztown surveys from September 1940, sent to the East End of London, and to Coventry, Plymouth, Southampton and Hull, the morning after a raid to report how the population was coping, and to ask how effective were post-raid provisions (usually not very). Was there hysteria, or defeatist talk? The reports still make salutary reading and snag the conventional veil of the cheerful, united population, "taking it".
Hinton's subtitle misleads. The Mass Observers does not end in 1949 but usefully carries on until the 1970s, when the question of M-O's purpose became acute. By that time, it was unable to attract academic funding for its allegedly amateur, anecdotal research methods, so was obliged to compromise its principles and increasingly turn to undertaking market research projects – precursors of focus groups, creators of Mondeo man, linking social and consumer behaviour – while valiantly trying to cling on to its raison d'être by publishing earlier material that had attempted to answer big questions, about churchgoing in a secular society, or the apathy of voters who were prepared to pore for hours over football pool coupons, yet would not stir to put a cross on a ballot paper at election times. These were questions still worth asking – and still unanswered.
Juliet Gardiner is the author of The Thirties: An intimate history and The Blitz: The British under attack, both of which appeared in 2010.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Tiger Woods is back at home after a
week of family counseling in Arizona and is trying to get back into
a routine that includes golf and fitness, according to a person
with knowledge of his schedule.
Woods returned to his home near Orlando on Saturday and has been
hitting balls on the range at Isleworth, not far from where he ran
his SUV into a tree in a middle-of-the-night accident on Nov. 27
that set off revelations of extramarital affairs.
The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because only
Woods is authorized to release information about his schedule, said
there is still no timetable for golf's No. 1 player to return to

what's this?
report abuse
One day I had lunch with some friends. Jim, a short, balding golfer type about 80 years old, came along with them---all in all, a pleasant bunch.
When the menus were presented, we ordered salads, sandwiches, and soups, except for Jim who said, "Ice Cream, please. Two scoops, chocolate.
I wasn't sure my ears heard right, and the others were aghast. "Along with heated apple pie," Jim added, completely unabashed.
We tried to act quite nonchalant, as if people did this all the time.. But when our orders were brought out, I didn't enjoy mine.
I couldn't take my eyes off Jim as his pie a-la-mode went down. The other guys couldn't believe it. They ate their lunches silently and grinned.
The next time I went out to eat, I called and invited Jim. I lunched on white meat tuna. He ordered a parfait.
I smiled. He asked if he amused me
I answered, "Yes, you do, but also you confuse me.
How come you order rich desserts, while I feel I must be sensible? He laughed and said "I'm tasting all that is Possible.
I try to eat the food I need, and do the things I should. But life's so short, my friend, I hate missing out on something good.
This year I realized how old I was. (He grinned) I haven't been this old before."
"So, before I die, I've got to try those things that for years I had ignored.
I haven't smelled all the flowers yet. There are too many trout streams I haven't fished. There's more fudge sundaes to wolf down and kites to be flown overhead.
There are too many golf courses I haven't played. I've not laughed at all the jokes. I've missed a lot of sporting events and potato chips and cokes.
I want to wade again in water and feel ocean spray on my face. I want to sit in a country church once more and thank God for His grace.
I want peanut butter every day spread on my morning toast. I want un-timed long distance calls to the folks I love the most.
I haven't cried at all the movies yet, or walked in the morning rain. I need to feel wind on my face. I want to be in love again.
So, if I choose to have dessert, instead of having dinner, then should I die before night fall, I'd say I died a winner, because I missed out on nothing. I filled my heart's desire. I had that final chocolate mousse before my life expired.."
With that, I called the waitress over.. "I've changed my mind, " I said. "I want what he is having, only add some more whipped cream!"
This is my gift to you - We need an annual Friends Day! If you get this twice, then you have more than one friend. Live well, love much & laugh often - Be happy.
SHARE THIS WITH YOUR FRIENDS including me if I'm lucky enough to be counted among them.
Be mindful that happiness isn't based on possessions, power, or prestige, but on relationships with people we like and respect. Remember that while money talks, CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM SINGS

Re: ospf-- default-information originate vs redist static [7:42294] posted 04/23/2002
Here's what I did: 1) Configured OSPF between a number of routers. Verified all where seeing routes via OSPF. 2) Made the following config additions: ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 a.b.c.d ip route 220.127.116.11 255.255.255.255 a.b.c.d router ospf 100 redistribute static subnets where a.b.c.d is a valid next-hop then did a show ip route on the other ospf routers. None show the default route but all show an E2 18.104.22.168/32 route. 3) Removed the "redistribute static subnets". Did a show ip route on the other routers. The 220.127.116.11/32 subnet disappeared. 4) Added a "default-information originate". Did a show ip route on the other OSPF routers and the 0/0 default appears as an E2 route. Cisco doesn't (apparently) treat a 0/0 route as a real route/subnet. For instance, suppose you have a default route defined on a router. Then do a "show ip route 126.96.36.199". If you don't have a prefix which covers this subnet, one might expect it to report the 0/0 resultant route. IMO, this is what it should do. It instead shows a "network not in table" error.

Once en
Once is a musical stage adaptation based on the 2006 film of the same name. The book was written by Enda Walsh, retaining many of the songs written by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová, including the Academy Award-winning "Falling Slowly". The musical premiered at the New York Theatre Workshop in 2011, before transferring to Broadway in 2012. The production received eleven 2012 Tony Award nominations, and won eight of those awards including Best Musical, Best Actor, and Best Book. The musical also won the 2012 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Musical and the 2013 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album. It has since spawned a London production, with a US Tour running from 1 October 2013 – 30 September 2014. In the musical, the cast also serves as the orchestra. A minimalist set is used, including a bar in center stage with chairs lining stage left and right. Exiting cast members simply step to the side of the stage and sit down. They serve as the orchestra from these chairs. The bar is used before the show and at intermission as a working bar for theater patrons. [ - ]

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) - Police say a 24-year-old Charlotte man was fatally stabbed during an argument after a Lil Wayne concert at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg police say James Warren Price was stabbed to death in the parking lot of the outdoor concert venue about 11:30 p.m. Friday. An unidentified woman received minor injuries.
Officer Jessica Lawrence says witnesses told police that Price and several men got into an argument, Price was stabbed, and the suspects drove off.
The rap concert featured Lil Wayne with T.I. and 2 Chainz.
The Charlotte Observer reports that Price's death is believed to be the first killing at the north Charlotte concert site in its 22-year existence.
In 2003, a 26-year-old college student was electrocuted during a concert, but records show no other fatalities.

Topic: Rise of Mythos / Server Merge 9/17/13
I'm posting this because people have asked what advantage the Ruins guys have.
One extra month of play time means that the tower may be run 4 more times. Running the tower one time nets me is just about 100 coins, so 400 in a month. On snowy fort barely any players have rep lvl50 in any race; I know of only one player who was able to buy a thariel. How many players in Stone Ruins run cards that can be bought at the rep shop at lvl50? Also what critt rate do races with lvl 50 reputation have?
Also 1 more month is 2 extra seasons. Since I can get easily in the top32 for 1v1 and top64 for 2v2, one season gives me: 2 named legendary cards, just below 900 gold, just above 400 medals.
I think especially the higher reputation levels of people on Stone Ruins is huge advantage, and I'm suprised that no one has mentioned that yet. (Also a bit sad that GF doesn't mention tower coins for compensation.)

text: I have a 06 G6 and sometimes while driving or even when starting the car everything on the dash stops working. The speedometer stops working completely, says I'm empty on fuel (even though I have a full tank) and says I have 0 miles on car even though I have likes 83k miles. My blinker lights won't even work on the inside but DO work on the outside of car. So basically everything on the dash quits working. At the same time the stereo will say Locked. While driving it will stay like this for awhile and then randomly start working on its own. If this happens when first getting in car it won't even start. I have to keep taking out key and trying to start it again until the stereo no longer says Locked. Took it to be look at but of course the problem wasn't happening right then so they couldn't see what I was talking about. It doesn't happen all the time but is getting more frequent. Any suggestions or anybody else had this problem that knows the solution???

Tuition Refund Insurance
With the current level of education costs, we have a concern for the student who suffers a serious illness or accident and has to leave Wittenberg before the semester is completed. In many instances, it means not only the loss of time invested in studies, but also the loss of the semester's costs.
Based upon this, we are pleased to advise you of an optional tuition insurance program, The Student Protection Plan, which can minimize the financial portion of your loss. In addition to the tuition insurance coverage, the Student Protection Plan includes these valuable benefits:
- Family Emergency Travel: Many students study away from home and reuniting the family can be difficult – especially in the event of an emergency. With Family Emergency Travel from Kindred Travel LLC, students and their parents receive coverage for travel assistance, emergency economy transportation, room and board and repatriation of remains if either the student or their parents is hospitalized for at least 5 days due to a serious injury or illness and/or dies. Family Emergency Travel can help you and your family come together during these difficult events.
- Emergency Medical Evacuation: For some college students, travel is a way of life. Many attend schools far from home or will travel to a program in a remote area during their college years, domestically or abroad, where there may not be access to an appropriate medical facility in case of a medical emergency. Emergency Medical Evacuation from Kindred Travel LLC provides up to $50,000 in evacuation benefits to transport the student to the nearest medical facility.
- Identity Monitoring and Resolution Services: Students can help keep their identities safer with Identity Monitoring and Resolution Services from Affinion. The web-based monitoring service uses email to notify students if personal information is compromised and helps you recover easier with restoration services if you become a victim of identity theft.
- Reputation.com Services: Social media has become a fixture of college life, however, there are some things students may not want online. With services from Reputation.com, students can get help monitoring and controlling their personal information on the Internet. After registering, Reputation.com will scan the Internet and provide alerts when information is found.
- Roadside Assistance: Having a car on campus is a dream-come-true for many students, but taking care of it can be a challenge. Roadside Assistance provides 24 hour Dispatch services in case of a breakdown including emergency road service, tire service, battery service, and lockout service. Offers three claims a year up to $100 per claim and all services are provided by Quest Towing Services.
If you have any questions about the Student Protection Plan, please don't hesitate to call Sallie Mae Insurance Services at (877) 445-0264.

"Silent" Guitar Cables
Hey everyone, I'm wondering what makes a "silent" or "noiseless" guitar cable different from your run of the mill cable. Less static overall, when you unplug, etc??
any sort of answer is very helpful. Thanks!
Ones that cut off sound when you unplug so you can safely change guitars without turning your amp off.
i 'silent' guitar cable is a unicorn. doesn't exist.
there are lots of way to combat noise in a cable, most of them have to do with sending a balanced signal over the cable (to cancel noise), these would be tip-ring-sleeve (TRS) cable or XLR cable (mic cables). but guitar cables don't allow for these conveniences.
if you want to limit noise then choose shorter cables. some cables that claim to help eliminate noise are cables with extra shielding and/or better conductive material (gold for example). the amount of performance increase you get from this is quite minimal.
if i pay more for a cable, it is usually for any [lifetime] warranty it may come with.
what is the specific problem you'd like to address?
"noiseless" or "low-noise" guitar cable is usually referring to handling noise. Lots of lower end cables don't have a nice jacket around the wire and braid, and you suffer from handling noise. Any noise canceling I have noticed comes from the type of pickup configuration you have, rather than changing cables themselves.
Silent usually refers to a spring loaded tip that grounds the signal when it's unplugged from the guitar. So no noise when switching guitars.
There's a little possibility for confusion here. Noiseless cable is just better quality cable which makes a lot less noise than some of the cheaper stuff, unbelievable some guitar leads are made of cable that is microphonic and makes a noise every time you handle it.
Silent leads have a plug (made by Neutrik) with a built in magnetic reed switch which as the guy above says shorts out the earth and tip of the plug. You can pick up the plug for about £5 in the UK or a ready made lead for about £15. If you play live then I personally wouldn't use anything else.
honestly i wouldn't pay a dime for a cable that doesn't make noise when you put it in the guitar. get a tuner, my pitchblack silences anything so if i need to do something i just engage it. if you are gigging IMO you should have a solid pedal tuner, the clip-on tuners aren't bad, but i have had two break on me, so i got the pitchblack. silences and you can use it to tune.

This continues across the country.Sort of a pony express to California.Of course we can adjust to touch any or all states.Id be willing to ride some miles across NJ.Perhaps we could vote on a charity and ask the riders to donate to the cause.This would give a purpose and make it interesting. I know nothing about the legal or insurance end of it or if bf would let us carry this out.What do you think?

STONE ISLAND SHOWS ITS 30 YEARSStone Island and Fondazione Pitti Discovery will celebrate the Italian sportswear brand's 30th anniversary with the "Stone Island 30" exhibition at Florence's Stazione Leopolda, taking place within the June 2012 edition of Pitti Uomo. The exhibition was curated by Simon Foxton and Nicholas Griffith and will present 200 works divided among macro-areas focusing on all of the key inspiration points, practices and trends throughout the brand's evolution since 1982 up until today.
"I'm very happy that Pitti Fondazione Discovery has decided to share such an important moment with us," commented Carlo Rivetti, owner and president of the SPW Company. "I think that three decades of activity can offer quite an interesting story and I consider this collaboration with Fondazione Pitti Discovery as a mark of true recognition for our work, and for that I am truly proud."
"The Stone Island exhibition is a very beautiful project," added Gaetano Marzotto, President of Pitti Immagine and Fondazione Discovery. "We are happy to support it. This prestigious alliance with an iconic sportswear brand based on product innovation is coherent with other past initiatives of ours such as "Workwear. Fashion and Seduction" and the exhibit dedicated to the Californian designer Andrea Zittel - all projects based on an innovative mix between fashion and design, the use of materials and the study of the human body. Moreover, Carlo and Sabina Rivetti have been our friends for years and we are only too happy to reinforce that friendship and support their wonderful work."

Snyder suspends legal marriages
Timothy Kincaid
March 26th, 2014
Earlier today I speculated that Michigan Governor Rick Snyder (R) would find that those legal marriages occurring between the time in which Judge Friedman found the anti-gay ban unconstitutional and the time in which the court issued a stay would be precisely that: legal marriage. It seems I guessed wrong. (Buzzfeed)
On Wednesday, Snyder stated that those marriages are legal but that, because the state's amendment banning recognition of such marriages is back on the books while the stay is in place, "the rights tied to these marriages are suspended" for the time being.
There may be legal arguments supporting that view, but I suspect this may have political consequences that do not work in his favor.
The immediate consequence is that this opens the marriages up to federal recognition.

Jim Laise
WALDWICK, N.J. -- Chris Melvin, the chief talent scout for the Elite College Combine held here Monday, guaranteed that West Virginia offeree Christopher Palmer would be on hand at the Superdome Sports Complex, "but there will be some other good defensive linemen here too."
Melvin was right on both counts. Palmer, the athletic defensive tackle that West Virginia would like to woo to Morgantown along with his Philadelphia buddy, Jewhan Edwards, made a big showing at the combine here which brings together among the best players in the East. Palmer, accompanied here by father Rudy, has yet to be blocked in the dozen or so reps he took against Elite offensive linemen. He is a blur off the ball and uses a combination of moves to get free of blockers in the shirts-and-shorts drills. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member. Sign Up Now!

Unfortunately, the same elements that draw tourists to tropical destinations, namely the warm air and water, make many of these places prone to tropical storms and hurricanes. This year, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is predicting another active hurricane season in the North Atlantic region, which means that the Caribbean is likely to see more extreme weather this summer and fall. But there are alternative tropical destinations that are at lower risk for hurricanes, and are within a few hours of the continental U.S. by plane.
The ABC islandsAruba, Bonaire, and Curacaomay be the best-known, low-hurricane-risk Caribbean islands, but there are more destinations in the Caribbean, Atlantic, and Pacific that offer summer and fall beach vacations with decreased chances of extreme weather. Some may still experience the daily rain showers of a summer wet season, but as the saying goes, if you don't like the weather in the tropics, just wait 15 minutes.
In addition to a lower risk of extreme weather, many of these destinations offer lower prices that come along with summer or fall low seasons, giving vacationers the chance to benefit from better prices and good weather.
Trinidad and Tobago
Like the ABCs, Trinidad and Tobago are located in the Caribbean but fall outside of the traditional hurricane belt, though summer and fall are the rainy seasons. However, from mid-September to mid-October, the islands experience the Petit Carême, which brings sunny days without rain.
Tobago is a relaxed tropical beach destination that isn't as built up as many of the other Caribbean islands, and it runs on a slower, more relaxed "island time." Trinidad, by contrast, is composed of crowded cities along the coast and a mountainous interior that attracts adventurers looking for hiking, kayaking, and caving opportunities.
For more information about this pair of islands, visit the Trinidad and Tobago tourism website.
Unlike most of Central America, Panama sits just below the traditional hurricane belt. However, summer and fall are the wet, or "green", seasons, when rain tends to fall for a few hours each afternoon. Panama has long stretches of coast on both the Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea, and is known for excellent snorkeling and diving. Ecotourism is another major draw, and American visitors will benefit from the convenience of an Eastern Standard Time zone and a U.S. dollar paper currency (though Panama mints its own coinage).
For more information about Panama, visit the Panama tourism website.
The Azores are a group of nine Portuguese islands located in the Atlantic about four hours by plane from the East Coast of the U.S. and two hours from mainland Portugal. They are shielded from hurricanes by cooler water, making the islands a lower-risk alternative to hurricane-season island travel. The Azores have a milder climate than Caribbean island destinations, with average August temperatures in the high 70s.
This semi-tropical archipelago isn't a typical beach destination. Though visitors can find black sand beaches and swim in water heated by hot thermal pockets that mix with the cool ocean water, the Azores are a better fit for culturally adventurous travelers who also want to explore historical and outdoors attractions in addition to hitting the beach. The tourism infrastructure is geared more towards Europeans, and it's a destination that hasn't quite been discovered by Americans yet. It is reasonably easy to get to though, as the airline Azores Express offers affordable flights from select U.S. departure cities.
For more information about the Azores, visit the Azores tourism website.
In the last 50 years, just five hurricanes or tropical storms have caused serious damage in Hawaii. And this year, NOAA's Central Pacific Hurricane Center has predicted a slightly below average season for tropical storms, making Hawaii a lower-risk destination this hurricane season.

|Deleted Scenes Mission
U.S. Embassy,
Yipiti, Boshistan
|Counter-Terrorist Agency
|U.S. Navy SEAL
British SAS
|The US Embassy in Yipiti has been overrun. Hostages have been taken and are being held near the King Kabob Restaurant. The local population, sympathetic to a powerful terrorist sect, occupy each dark corner of this desert province.
|Main objectives
|Proceed toward the King Kabob. Locate the hostages and lead them to the extraction point. Neutralize any opposition or obstacles.
Alamo (cz_alamo) is the eleventh mission in Condition Zero: Deleted Scenes storyline.
U.S. Embassy personnel have been kidnapped by an unknown terrorist faction, they have been located in the old King Kabob Restaurant, so a team of U.S. Navy SEALs have been dropped over near the Embassy and the target.
After a firefight, one of the SEAL operatives orders the player to move on while the other members try to unlock the doors. The player meets with numbers of terrorists in the area, and receives word that the team is down and he is on his own.
Rescue the hostages
The player moves ahead, with small encounters, and enters the restaurant and kills all threats and found all hostages and bringing them back to the extract zone, the player calls in the extraction team, but the area is too hot to send SAS operatives over, the player assists the Blackhawk helicopter in an air and ground assault. However, the player is outnumbered and must defend the position until the SAS operatives arrived.
After the firefight, another Black Hawk is sent in, rappeling down members of the SAS, telling the player mission accomplished.
- Main article: Alamo/Walkthrough
- Locate the King Kabob Restaurant.
- Locate alternate entrance.
- Locate hostages.
- Move hostages upstairs to rescue zone.
- Suppress hostiles until Landing Zone is clear for evac.
- See: Alamo/Transcript
There are two factions of Counter-Terrorists can be found in this mission that are:
- U.S Navy SEAL with standard uniform in the beginning of the mission.
- British SAS with standard uniform after the player has done the last objective.
The Elite Crew members wear the standard white outfit except one terrorist member wears a green shirt. The weapons used are different depends on their model. The models are:
Weapons & Equipments
|Colt M4A1 Carbine
|30 / 90
|12 / 0
|HE grenade
|Kevlar Armor/Helmet
Weapons discovered
There are only two weapons discovered in this mission that are the G3/SG-1 and the M60. Besides, there are three HE grenade, four suits of Kevlar Vest and a Smoke grenade can be found.
Ammunition & health booster
There are three types of ammunition can be found in this mission.
- 5.56×45mm NATO ― For M4A1, there are nine small (30 rounds each) and two large magazines (60 rounds each); and for M249 (not found on this mission unless using cheats, there is one large magazine (30 rounds each) can be found in this mission.
- 7.62×51 NATO ― There are four large magazines (30 rounds each) can be found in this mission for M60.
Medical Kit
There are five medkits and seven wall attached medkit can found in this mission.
There are two zones can be found in this missions that are hostage rescue zone and radio zone.
- This mission uses two sub-maps.
- This mission is incomplete. There are no .45 ACP caliber can be found for the USP. There is also a magazine of 5.56×45mm caliber for M249 while there is no M249 for this mission (unless you use cheats).
- The first enemy wears a green shirt while the others wear white shirt.
- Some textures of this map are used in Condition Zero's version of Havana map.
- The player cannot proceed to the next mission when the player fails the last objective of this mission that is protecting the helicopter from being destroyed.
- There is a secret D3/AU-1 in this mission, it can be found in the beginning of the level.
- If you shoot the U.S. Flag in the Embassy in-game, you will die unless you activated the god mode.
- Like Motorcade Assault, Alamo has 2 units working: the U.S. Navy SEALs and the British Special Air Service while in Motorcade Assault, it was the German GSG-9 and the French GIGN.
- This map is set in Yipiti, Bohistan which is not a place in real life. Thus, when looking at the world map, this map appears to be in Northern Africa, this was likely fictionalized to prevent any controversy.

|TSA Passes "Pilot Insecurity" Rule
On January 24, 2003, the Transportation Security Administration
(TSA) and FAA released and implemented new rules that direct FAA
to deny/revoke the airman certificate of anyone whom TSA says
is a threat to national security. Bearing the lengthy title "Ineligibility
for an Airman Certificate Based on Security Grounds," this
final rule "expressly makes a person ineligible to hold FAA-issued
airman certificates if TSA notifies FAA in writing that the person
poses a security threat," reads the summary of the rule,
which was published in the Federal Register. "This
action is intended to reduce the opportunity for persons to carry
out terrorist acts in the aviation environment."
The final rule was released without prior notice and prior public comment. Based on secret information possessed by TSA that considers a pilot a security risk, that agency can force FAA to revoke the pilot's certificate. Here's what will happen:
* TSA will notify an individual that he or she has been
determined to pose a security threat and to advise FAA of its
determination. One process applies to U.S. citizens; the other
to non-U.S. citizens. Under both procedures, the individual is
served with an Initial Notification of Threat Assessment.
"FAA will suspend an individual's airman certificates after receiving the Initial Notification of Threat Assessment from TSA," according to the rule. "Suspension is appropriate in this circumstance, because TSA's initial assessment is still subject to review by TSA's Deputy Administrator, and, for U.S. citizens, the Under Secretary, and may be reversed."
Whether you hold a pilot's certificate or not, this rulemaking ought to make you sit up and take notice. The person(s) under scrutiny has no recourse but to go to the very agency accusing him or her of being a security threat. There is no due process. "If someone really is a terrorist, they shouldn't have a pilot certificate," says Phil Boyer, president of Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), which has almost 400,000 members. "And frankly, we should take stronger action than just lifting a license. But any American so accused must be guaranteed their basic constitutional protections to due process, and that includes the right to appeal to an independent adjudicator.
"Our goal is to sensitize members of Congress to the issue," continues Boyer. "Everyone we've talked to so far agrees. While they share our concern for security, they also think these rules appear to violate due process, and that a pilot should have an avenue of appeal to an independent party, not TSA.
"We cannot, we will not give up our basic rights to protect us from some vague and secret 'threat'. We are demanding that the government suspend enforcement of these rules and recraft them to protect national security and citizens' rights."
In a recent readership survey, 30% of Ultralight Flying! readers indicate they operate with a FAA pilot's certificate when flying their ultralights.
Readers who wish to view the entire rule can go to http://dms.dot.gov . Search for docket number FAA-2003-14293.


text: I work at a BMW Car Dealership and we have these road bikes here. Aluminum frame and yadda yadda. Originally $4000.00 they have DROPPED them to around 2 grand. They crazy thing is that these bikes have full Dura Ace componants and nice Dura Ace SPD Pedals. Profile(?) fork Ksyrium SL wheels (the black ones) with Conti tires. A Sentac (?) stem. I don't have the bike in front of me; I have talked to a sister dealer down the street, the parts manager down there is one of my riding buddies (avid roadie type) and he alerted me to this beast. If anyone in Houston want one I can probably swing $1750. I'd rather see a real cyclist get ahold of one of these deals as opposed to a wanna be Bimmer driving ******. (Not saying all BMW drivers are fat asses ) I could see this bike being bought and sitting in a garage gathering dust. It saddens me. If there is any interest contact me 936.271.3054 and either leave a message or by the grace of God I might pick up. I wish I could afford one! Very limited supply. Email me too! email@example.com
