I know that it's been considered improper to bring up Hitler in the context of what the Bush administration did for the past 7 years, but I wish someone would explain to me how Bush's powers, as now revealed by those secret legal memos, were different from the dictatorial powers exercised by Hitler after the terrorist attack on the Reichstag in 1933, soon after Hitler became chancellor.
Secrecy and Executive Power
Glenn Greenwald's description of the common liberal sentiment that "Bush's secrecy theories and assertions of unchallengeable executive power were grave and tyrannical threats to liberty" is spot-on. But as Greenwald notes, these same assertions of power and privilege are no less grave in the Obama administration. The similarities between the Obama administration's response to the 9th Circuit Court's ruling in the Al-Haramain case, requiring the government to turn over classified information and the legal views espoused under the Bush-Cheney administration by the likes of John Yoo and David Addington are simply stunning.
We didn't elect President Obama to preserve the Bush administration's anti-contistutional executive power grab. We elected him to end it.
Patriots must defeat, impeach, and prosecute the traitors in government with the rule of law while making it very uncomfortable for them, but not harming a hair on their heads. Beg traitorous officials for nothing, call them names, picket them, and in all ways let them feel your absolute contempt; for if we should fail to get them out of office, the populace, when they feel the pain of total deprivation will revolt against the usurpers in a killing rage. If the government does not expect a deadly response for their treason, why are the police being militarized, military conducting training in cities, government trying to take our weapons, with large internment camps at the ready? Shades of Hitler's Holocaust, history repeats.
Arabs No Threat to Israel
The idea of maintaining a predominant Jewish majority, if not an all-Jewish population, is not new. It is inherent in the Zionist ideology and a continuation of the systematic expulsions and ethnic cleansing that continue today inside Israel proper and the occupied West Bank. Israel still refuses to acknowledge its original sin, let alone apologize for it. It continues to fulfill its dream through racist policies, territorial expansion, expropriation of lands and eviction of Palestinian inhabitants.
Richard Perle's Outrageous Lies
Back in 1996, a group of Americans writing for an Israeli think tank published a paper for Israeli Likud Party leader Benjamin Netanyahu called "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm." In addition to calling for Saddam Hussein's replacement, it also advised an overthrow or destabilization of the governments of Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Iran, thus leading to something akin to a "Greater US-Israel Co-Prosperity Sphere."
Israel is a Terrorist State by Definition: Chomsky
Chomsky: Well for several years Hamas has been very clear and explicit, repeatedly, that they favor a two state settlement on the international border. They said they would not recognize Israel but they would accept a two state settlement and a prolonged truce, maybe decades, maybe 50 years. Now, that's not exactly the international consensus but it's pretty close to it. On the other hand, the United States and Israel flatly reject it. They reject it in deeds, that's why they are building all the construction development activities in the West Bank, not only in violation of international laws, US and Israel know that the illegal constructions are designed explicitly to convert the West Bank into what the architect of the policy, Arial Sharon, called bantustan. Israel takes over what it wants, break up Palestine into unviable fragments. That's undermining a political settlement. So in deeds, yes of course they are undermining it, but also in words: that goes back to 1976 when the US vetoed the Security Council resolution put forward by the arab states which called for a two state settlement and it goes around until today.
Coming to NBC: "To Catch a Cheney"
Here's my idea: A series of NBC News prime-time specials featuring spectacular ambushes of big-time criminals lured into what they expect to be pleasurable surroundings. But, with hidden cameras whirring, the startled villain is dramatically confronted with the evidence of his massive crimes as millions of viewers look on in scorn and righteous amusement.

Ninth in the series of fourteen known Quirós' presentation memorials. Quirós wrote about fifty memorials addressed to the King Philip III of Spain describing the wonders of the lands he had discovered and requesting Royal support to organize a new expedition to the Southern hemisphere. The majority of them were manuscripts, but fourteen were printed between 1607 and 1614 at Quirós' expense for presentation at the Council of the Indies. These so-called "presentation memorials" - to be distinguished from later derivative printings which appeared throughout Europe after the leaking of one of the original Memorials - are among the most valuable of all printed Australiana. In this ninth presentation memorial Quirós outlines his "proposed expedition to establish a settlement in the Austral Lands, restating his requirements and giving details as to the disbursement of the 500,000 ducats. Continuing the shorter version Quirós gives a résumé of the preparations for the 1605 expedition and the manner in which the monies of the royal treasury were spent, instancing economies which he introduced in order to reduce the cost of the expedition. He also adds some personal reflections on the events of the voyage and some of the difficulties encountered"--Kelly.

Biog Note
Pedro Fernandes de Queirós, (Spanish: Pedro Fernández de Quirós, (1563-1615)), was a Portuguese navigator best known for his involvement with Spanish voyages of discovery in the Pacific Ocean. In 1595 he sailed as chief pilot with Mandana's expedition to colonize the Solomon Islands. When Mandana died in Santa Cruz, Quirós brought the fleet through great difficulties to the Philippines. In December 1605, he sailed from Callao, Peru, in command of an expedition to discover the Terra Australis Incognita, the great southern continent thought to exist in the South Pacific Ocean. In May 1606, after finding part of the Tuamotu Archipelago, the northern Cook Islands and Tikopia, the expedition reached the islands later called the New Hebrides. Quirós landed on a large island which he mistook to be the southern continent, and named it Australia del Espiritu Santo (later altered to Austrialia del Espiritu Santo). Here the fleet broke up in unexplained circumstances, Quirós returning to Peru in one ship, and the two others, piloted by Luis Vaez de Torres, resuming the intended voyage to Manila via the Moluccas. Torres successfully reached Manila in May 1607, charting the southern coastline of New Guinea sailing through the strait that now bears his name. Quirós returned to Spain in 1607 and spent the next seven years vainly petitioning Philip III to send him on another expedition.

Skip to comments.Lessons on Being a Grown-Up from Vincent Price?
Posted on 02/13/2013 9:17:27 AM PST by Squawk 8888
The Seventies was a lousy time to be a kid.
Oh, sure, it wasnt all bad:
We didnt wear bike helmets. Our parents made us play outside (Get out of this house, and dont come back til the street lights come on!). We bounced around in the back of the station wagon. No one was allergic to peanut butter, or very much else.
Evel Knievel was a role model.
But something freakish, sinister, and incomprehensible was always being talked about, over at the Me Decades grown ups table:
Watergate (which had something to do with bugs invading America, I concluded; men in suits talked about it on TV so much, they interrupted my lunchtime Flintstones for months), the Patty Hearst kidnapping, Vietnam, Jimmy Carter, Bicentennial toilet seats, The Gong Show, hijackings, the Loud family, D.B. Cooper, divorce, things called muggings, crying Indians, gas station lineups and an unprecedented combination of high inflation, unemployment, and interest rates that adults muttered about in worried voices just out of earshot.
Epitomized by Howard Hughes will, fakery was epidemic:
We decorated our houses with plastic flowers and fruit. Squeaking drugstore paperback racks were laden with books about astrology, crypto-zoology, alien astronauts, and other junk history. Everyone knew that some all-powerful They had gotten away with killing the Kennedys and King. What chance did a timid, puny seven-year-old girl have?
If a rich child porn aficionado could bury a bunch of kids in their school bus, what the hell couldnt happen?
A kid needed a break.
If you lived in my part of the world, starting around 1971, that respite came in the form of a cheap local TV show called The Hilarious House of Frightenstein.
(Excerpt) Read more at pjmedia.com ...
Canada Ping!
The part with the DJ was the best! Cannot hear that Sly & the Family Stone song (Boom Shaka Laka Laka!) without thinking about that show. It was so out there!
If this was on in my area, I did not see it. I was too busy waiting for the porch light to come on.
Gory, Gory Transylvania
Where werewolves and bats will always maim ya
The murky moat will likely maim ya
As we go stumbling through
It was a local show that aired in Hamilton, Ontario and later syndicated in the USA so not everyone had it.
> Get out of this house, and dont come back til the street lights come on!
This would be a great tag-line.
so this i where MJ got the idea for Vincent Price's rap segment on THRILLER... cool...
Now kids get a fine and court appearance for the same thing. That and a counselor specializing in childhood obesity.
***At the age of 13 in 1972 ...***
Life was more fun back in the 1950s and 60s.
In Los Angeles we had Vampira, then later Seymour, and finally Elvira at night, and a show that was briefly on in the afternoons, Shrimpenstein.
In Pittsburgh we had "Chilly Billy" Cardille who was perhaps the lone horror movie host that did not wear makeup (he apparently thought his normal persona as the Channel 11 weatherman was scary enough) SCTV's Joe Flaherty, a Pittsburgh native, allegedly based his "Monster Horror Chiller Theater" on Cardille's show. Chilly Billy is now 84 and still doing a daily radio gig.
In Chicago, we had "Svengoolie", and now "Son of Svengoolie", who was a fan of the show who ended up replacing the old guy.
Oh, sure, it wasnt all bad:
We didnt wear bike helmets. Our parents made us play outside (Get out of this house, and dont come back til the street lights come on!). We bounced around in the back of the station wagon. No one was allergic to peanut butter, or very much else.
We played TACKLE football....without helmets or padding...and baseball without leagues.
My bike was my ticket to freedom, that and the 10-cent subway fare.
Joke's on us I suppose. We didn't need the school.
Thanks for the ping.
In the DC Metro area, there was Count Gore DeVol with his "Creature Feature".
And who can forget Dr. Paul Bearer?
Good times...good times.
In Indy, we had Channel 4. During the day we had Cowboy Bob, who we were convinced did the show stoned. In the afternoon it was Popeye & Janie. Janie was perpetually pregnant. My sister's girl scout Troop appeared on the show and while Janie came off all sugary sweet during the show, my sister said she screamed at them during the commercials. Finally, Saturday night had Sammy Terry, the horror show host. The rumor was that Sammy Terry & Janie were married.
'we had "The Ghoul" (outta Deeeeeee-troit)
We lived north of Detroit then, and after the local channels had gone off the air, our TV could pick up Detroit channels. I could sneak out of the downstairs bedroom, and watch The Ghoul at midnite. I got the crap scared out of me! The Fly, Blood on Satan's Claw, 13 Ghosts,etc.
I loved that show, still do.
Billy Van WAS the show. He played most of the characters (Bwana Clyde Batty, Grizelda, the Count and on and on). He passed away a few years ago, but he left a great legacy. I still find that show on satellite and watch it when I can.
Stay sick. Scratch glass. Climb walls. Turn Blue. Do it while you can, but don't get caught!!! Bye!!
In LA there was show called the Pier 5 Club, with host Tom Hatten. He showed Popeye cartoons and other kid's cartoons. I was on the show in 1962, right after my fifth birthday. I still have the hat, membership card, faux mini Christmas tree and two decorations I got on the show.
In Hawaii, we had Checkers and Pogo. Every kid in my elementary school watched it daily when they got home from school........until Mom had to change the channel to put on The Merv Griffin Show......I always hated Merv for that reason.
"Life was more fun back in the 1950s and 60s."
The 40s were terrific too. We were always "shooting"
the Germans or Japanese.
Toy guns,guns,guns-——all made of metal,no plastic.
And with all that shooting we didn't become a violent generation.
You can still find Frightenstein on TV here and there on Saturday morning in some markets, and if you're up early enough.
My favourite segments were always the physics demonstrations by The Professor—Julius Sumner Miller, one of the great TV scientists. He was one of Albert Einstein's students. The most memorable one for me had to do with suction cups—Miller went to great lengths to insist that so-called "suction cups" stuck to things because of the outside air pressure pushing on them, and that if anyone insisted it had to do with suction, he would hunt them to the ends of the earth, or words to that effect. He was the straight man, giving an absolutely earnest physics lecture in the midst of a mad scientist's lab and all the other zaniness going on.
CHCH-TV was also the original home of Red Green. They put out years of classic TV on a shoestring budget.
Here you go Julius Sumner Miller - Atmospheric Pressure
He puts Bill Nye, the "alleged" Science Guy, to shame.
As a matter of fact, I was just watching that a few minutes ago! Same method of delivery, and everything. I was actually quite pleased to (re)discover that Miller didn't talk down to kids or dumb down his vocabulary.
He puts Bill Nye, the "alleged" Science Guy, to shame.
I always preferred Beakman's World, myself. (In fairness to Bill Nye, he was a professional engineer, and he did study for a time under Carl Sagan.)
Do you remember Magnus Pyke, the British science presenter? Now there was a mad scientist if I ever saw one.

Netcare Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital Hospital
1 000 life-saving heart procedures and counting
SA cardiologist places Cape Town at the forefront of international medicine
Friday, 29 January 2016
A Cape Town based cardiologist and his surgical team has once again placed
the city at the forefront of international medicine, by completing 1 000 successful life-saving heart
procedures with the aid of a robotic catheter system. This is among the highest number of procedures of this kind ever to be performed by a single surgical team in the world. The 1 000th patient, 68-old year Mr Petrus Venter, who is retired, travelled all the way from Namibia to undergo the procedure at Netcare Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital. Up-and-about less than four hours after his operation yesterday, Mr Venter said that his journey to Cape Town in search of better health had been well worthwhile and had paid dividends for him. He is looking forward to his discharge from hospital later today and anticipates being back home in Namibia by this time next week.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
Dr Lorgat is the only cardiologist specialising in electrophysiology at Netcare Christiaan Barnard
Memorial Hospital and one of only a handful in South Africa. The Cape Town facility was the first in
the southern hemisphere to use the cutting edge technology offered by the Sensei robotic catheter
system. Dr Lorgat's vision of transforming Netcare Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital into an international referralcentre for the treatment of arrhythmias has become a reality and today the facility treats patients such as Mr Venter from around South Africa and the continent. The electrophysiology unit at Netcare Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital is well known for its firsts. The Lynx catheter system had never before been used to treat arrhythmias in the left ventricleuntil Dr Lorgat became the first cardiologist ever to perform this procedure utilising Lynx technology, and he has since successfully treated a number of patients with this condition.
Thank you, I agree the Magellan is the focus and the company future.
Dr Faizel Lorgat, a cardiologist practising at Netc are Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital in Cape Town, specialises in the treatment of heart rhythm disorders or arrhythmias and was one of the first medical specialist in the world to perform the complex procedure using the sophisticated Sensei robotic catheter system, late in 2009. "Dr Lorgat has consistently broken boundaries in this field of medicine and has now once againreached a most remarkable medical milestone," says Chris Tilney, general manager of Netcare
Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital. "What is particularly noteworthy is that no patient has ever
been lost during a robotics procedure, with so me patients even going on to participate in competitive sports such as rugby, cycling and swimming at a national level." Dr Lorgat explains that the procedure involves using a special catheter fitted with a radio frequency device which works like a laser to cauterise or ablate over active or damaged electrical pathways that cause electrical disturbances in the heart. This enables the heart's rhythm to return to normal, reducing the need for other treatments such as pacemakers and medication. He says the robotic system allows greater control over the catheter compared to the manual techniques that have traditionally been used.

works fine thank you but the firefox add on for it says it is corrupt but still works
It does work on Windows 8 x32. Just install it with internet connection off, crack the content and then turn off automatic updates which can be found on the "Configuration" tab of the program. Muuuuuch thanks to the uploader and to all downloaders, ENJOOOOY :)
Okay, I used this prog YEARS ago with a crack. The problem I found was it would check for updates and apply them on the next restart. Install with the internet off / unplug from router THEN install the prog, the crack, open it and turn OFF automatic updates. Seems to be fine then.

Monistat and bleeding...
I'm a mom. Enough said.
Sorry, never experienced that or heard of it. Hope all goes well...let us know as soon as you can.
Lindsey ~ married to Andy Step-mom to Jeremy ~ 13 years
Mommy to my little pumpkin Eli Kenneth~ 04/02/09
and my new baby girl Sadie Lynn ~ 04/28/11
it could go either way.. some bleeding and clots and or spotting and cramping can be normal. then again.. it can't be dangerous.. go to your doc. don't take no for an answer.. have ur hgc lvls checked make sure they are still high enough for whatever week u are in.
I'm a mom. Enough said.
It had stopped by Wednesday morning, so I ended up deciding not to go in. I kinda convinced myself that even if something was going wrong they wouldn't be able to do anything about it anyway. I'm thinking maybe it was the applicator irritating my cervix or something... Like how some people spot after sex.
Anyway, hope all is ok for you now!!
Krista * Mikayla 1-14-03 * Lily 12-2-04 * m/c 10-26-10
Alexander William "Xander" 8-24-11
I wonder if it wwas all blood or if it was discharge from the treatment tinged with blood? Did you use the treatment the night before. Also, the skin could be irritated from the infection causing the bleeding, especially with the increased blood flow. Good luck at the ER. Hopefully you are seen quickly.
Courtney, mom to two amazing daughters (age 5 and 4) and a little boy due May 9th!
I had an infection with my 2nd pregnancy and my doc and the pharmacist said I would have to deal with it until it went away on its own because you arent supposed to take any of those meds while preggo
AlanaDS('07) DD('09) & #3 due May 31, 2011
My doctor told me to use Monistat as well. its on the list of safe meds they gave me at my appointment.
Courtney, mom to two amazing daughters (age 5 and 4) and a little boy due May 9th!
Amen! Thank you girls! I just had the exact same issue this morning. I'm stressing out wondering if I am having a m/c. Just finished a gynelotrimin 3 day (that's what my nurse recommended.) Interesting to read that Hullsy's doc & pharmacist told her not to use it as mine assured me it was safe.
I hope all goes well at the ER. Please let us know...

Why Jack Ma May Choose New York for Alibaba IPO
TheStreet) -- Everyone who follows the Internet has been expecting an Alibaba IPO this year. It would be one of the biggest Internet IPOs ever and could possibly exceed Facebook's (FB) public offering last year. Some observers expect Alibaba's value to top $100 billion once shares of the Chinese e-commerce company start trading.Before yesterday, most people had been expecting Alibaba to list in Hong Kong. After all, Alibaba founder Jack Ma listed business-to-business portal Alibaba.com on Hong Kong's stock exchange back in 2007. (He took it private last year in preparation for a future Alibaba Group IPO.) Ma is also reported to be close friends with the CEO of the Hong Kong Exchange. The two men are believed to have been in deep discussions over the past few months. It's also been rumored that the Chinese government itself has been trying to pressure Ma to list in Hong Kong. Beijing sees Alibaba as having the potential to be one of the most successful Internet companies in the world for years to come. That would bring prestige to China. Having Alibaba list in Hong Kong would also demonstrate that the biggest companies in the world can stay listed in Hong Kong and continue to grow. But overnight, there came several reports from the Chinese media that Jack Ma had decided he was more interested in listing his company in New York rather than Hong Kong. Representatives from the New York Stock Exchange, a unit of NYSE Euronext (NYX), have been lobbying Ma just as hard as those from the Hong Kong Exchange. But the New York Stock Exchange managed to get a big foot in the door with Ma this week. It's all about control. Ma owns 7% of Alibaba. That's surprisingly low for a founder of a big successful Internet company. Jeff Bezos, for example, still owns a bit less than 20% of Amazon (AMZN), which he founded in 1994. Mark Zuckerberg owns 30% of Facebook. Ma must be bothered by this, although you can't fault him for doing what he needed to do in founding Alibaba in 1999 and growing the company by taking outside capital from powerful foreign partners.NEW YORK (

The AMA Pro Racing National Guard American Superbike Championship gets back on track July 4th weekend at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, CA and the Michael Jordan Motorsports (MJM) teams are ready for action. The 2.238 mile racetrack is one of the most historic venues on the Championship calendar and has produced some fabulous racing during its illustrious history.
Aaron Yates Speaks… 6th place in race 1 & 3rd place in race 2
"That was a long, cold, wet race," said Yates. "We had a small chassis issue during the race thahung with me the whole time. We set the motorcycle up a little stiff, hoping the track would dry out, but it didn't work out that way. That made it challenging to ride in the full wet, as the bike was overly stiff. I'm happy to bring my Jordan Suzuki home in one piece and tomorrow we'll give it another go."
On a nearly perfect day for racing at Road America, Larry Pegram captured his first AMA Pro Racing National Guard American Superbike presented by Parts Unlimited victory in 10 years.
Under beautiful blue skies at Road America, Michael Jordan Motorsports rider Geoff May put his #54 National Guard Jordan Suzuki on the front row for the fourth time in six rounds. With temperatures hovering in the low 60s, May's Superpole lap was a mere .2 seconds slower than his Basic Qualifying time and he retained his important front row positioning for Saturday and Sunday's National Guard American Superbike races.
Michael Jordan Motorsports will hit the track for Round 6 of the AMA Pro Racing series this weekend at Road America. The Elkhart Lake, WI track is the unofficial '"home" circuit of the MJM #23 Jordan Suzuki and #54 National Guard Jordan Suzuki teams, which are based out of East Troy, WI. Boasting the longest straightaway of any track on the 2009 calendar, Road America is a scenic and exciting venue on which to showcase the power of the teams' GSX-R 1000s and will offer fans exciting racing in the American Superbike class.
Michael Jordan Motorsports rolls into northern California for Round 5 of the AMA American Superbike Championship at Infineon Raceway this weekend. The #23 Jordan Suzuki and #54 National Guard Jordan Suzuki teams will take to the Sonoma, California track on Friday May 15 to start the three day Superbike Showdown, with feature races happening on both Saturday and Sunday.
After a month-long break, Michael Jordan Motorsports returned to AMA Pro Racing action this past weekend.
Mat Mladin won his seventh AMA Superbike race of the season on Sunday afternoon at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama. Despite lengthy delays in the racing program due to heavy rain and tornado warnings, an abbreviated, 16-lap AMA Superbike race was run at the end of the day and six-time AMA Superbike Champion Mladin picked up his 79th career AMA Superbike win. Jordan Suzuki's Aaron Yates followed Mladin home in second place and picked up his best result of the season.
The day's three races were delayed by two hours and each race was shortened five laps from its scheduled distance as a band of severe storms swept through the area and tornado warnings were issued in the early afternoon.
In his first race on the new 2009 GSX-R 1000, Michael Jordan Motorsports rider Geoff May placed his #54 National Guard Jordan Suzuki on the front row Friday at Birmingham's Barber Motorsports Park. May, from nearby Gainseville GA,continues his impressive start to the 2009 campaign and has now put his #54 Suzuki on the front row for the third straight round.
Basic Qualifying for Aaron Yates of the #23 Jordan Suzuki team proved interesting.
Coming off a four week break since the last round of the AMA Superbike Championship, the Michael Jordan Motorsports team will take the track this weekend at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, AL. Both the Jordan Suzuki and National Guard Jordan Suzuki squads are eager to showcase the new 2009 Suzuki GSX-R 1000 bikes tested earlier in April and are ready to get back to work after the month-long pause.
Jordan Suzuki #23
The #23 Jordan Suzuki and #54 National Guard Michael Jordan Motorsports Suzuki teams completed a successful test April 14-16, 2009 at Carolina Motorsports Park in Kershaw, South Carolina.
After a long four day bike building extravaganza at the race shop, the test started the development process on the 2009 Suzuki GSX-R1000s and continued development on the suspension that began at the start of the season.
#54 National Guard Jordan Suzuki's Geoff May Takes Third at Auto Club Speedway.
Michael Jordan Motorsports riders Geoff May and Aaron Yates had a weekend of ups and downs at the AMA Pro Racing doubleheader at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. May, who rides for the #54 National Guard Jordan Suzuki team, earned the team's first podium finish of the season during Saturday's Race 1.
Michael Jordan Motorsports Previews Auto Club Speedway.
After the start of the AMA Pro Racing season at Daytona International Speedway, Michael Jordan Motorsports (MJM) is gearing up for Round Two at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California. Leaving behind the crowds of Bike Week and traveling across the country, MJM eagerly awaits this weekend's doubleheader to improve upon the teams' opening results.
Michael Jordan Motorsports Launches New Motorcycle Racing Websites.
The website, 23race.com, has been completely revamped and redesigned to provide an internet base for both the #23 Jordan Suzuki and #54 National Guard Jordan Suzuki teams. With content directly pertinent to each team and team color way, 23race.com now has improved functionality. MJM will also provide an increased virtual fan experience, via live Twitter updates and Facebook social networking.

Here's the story:
I made my first post (the birth of archonic), then a few more temporary ones (called 2nd post and 3rd post) to see how things looked while I get the kinks worked out with the layout. Then I changed the settings on permalinks to month and name instead of default. Then I removed the temporary posts and made 2 more real posts (which are currently in draft) and the next and previous links once your on a single post page still have "3rd post" as the next post link and they don't really work.
I tried deleting all posts and then re-posting just the new real posts to get the test posts out of it's system or whatever. No such luck.

Q&A: Blue Scholars' DJ Sabzi on NYC, Real Life, and "Music" vs. "Hip-Hop""/>
Check out the new video for Blue Scholars' "Paul Valery," sampling Owl City's "Fireflies." Blue Scholars play Showbox at the Market on Friday and Saturday.
When DJ Sabzi packed a bag and hopped a plane to New York City in November of 2009, for about two seconds it appeared that the producer behind two of Seattle's biggest hip-hop concerns--Common Market and Blue Scholars--had fled the scene he'd helped galvanize.
Not so fast; it's just an "extended visit," says Sabzi. From his temporary tenement in the Big Apple, the producer walked us through his trip east, his long-distance relationship with MC Geologic, and not using the word hip-hop.
Are you calling from Brooklyn?
DJ Sabzi
I'm actually from Manhattan. There's a rumor going around that I live in Brooklyn, and it's false. And I know that it would keep me really real if it were true, but it's not.
How do you like Manhattan?
Manhattan's cool. I came here to work. I didn't know it was going to take so long to get around the city. So I ended up finding a spot in Manhattan that was by basically all the trains. It's not a very cool place. It's the financial district where all of the banks are. I'm a couple of blocks from Ground Zero.What does Seattle have that they don't have out there?
How do you mean?
My observation has been that this particular borough, at least in Lower Manhattan has, how do I say it, it's become such a place for business that it's pushed out any regular people. When I'm in Seattle I'm surrounded by friends, family, and a community of regular people. Whereas everyone here is someone who's kind of like me. Who's coming here to work, regardless of what industry they're in.
Why'd you decide to move out there?
A lot of it had to do logistically with the people that I'm collaborating now, some creatively, some more on the business end of things, that it's just easier for one of us to be working here. And then on top of that, I haven't really lived anywhere besides Seattle my entire life, and I figured, what the heck, I can still do it now, so why not? But Seattle's definitely my home, and I definitely don't plan on staying here. It's like an extended visit.
How's your long-distance relationship working out with Geo? Is this your first long-distance relationship?
Let's just say I'm just not into long-distance stuff! Creatively speaking with Geo, it's fine because when we were in college, I would be producing, and I would upload all the drafts that I made to an FTP. He would download them, he would rhyme to them, record 'em at his house, then upload those drafts to the same FTP. Then we would see each other at school the next day and talk about them. It's interesting because it's the same now.
How's the new album coming?
It's coming along quite nice. It's like a combination of being totally new for Blue Scholars, but at the same time we're almost returning to the original Blue Scholars sound. You can think of it as classic blue scholars that has matured to 2010.
Are you going to be putting this album out with Duck Down and Cafe Vita?
Right now Vita is involved, but that's about as far as I can say is officially statable.
Do they give you an advance and there's profit sharing involved? What's your relationship like?
They help fund certain activities.
How's the hip-hop being made in New York different than what's being made in Seattle?
That's an interesting question. It's a question that I almost don't even think about because what we're focusing on now is "music." We don't even want to say "hip-hop" sometimes. Just like the record label era is coming to an end, we strongly feel that this whole breaking music into genres and sort of separating one genre from another is also contradictory from how culture is evolving. We draw so much inspiration from so many different forms of music, and not just music.
So many young people are looking for identity, and they're trying to figure out who they are and how they're going to define themselves, and we're all just borrowing from everything.

Want to remove the largest and smallest chainrings on my mtb so I just have the middle. Do u I need to replace the cranks also or can I just remove them?
Want to remove the largest and smallest chainrings on my mtb so I just have the middle. Do u I need to replace the cranks also or can I just remove them?
the simplist thing to do is just get a set of BNX chainring bolts. once you take the outer ring off the existing bolts/nuts are too long.
you may need to pull the crank to get the small ring off though
Bianchis '87 Sport SX, '90 Proto, '90 Campione del Fausto Giamondi Specialisma Italiano Mundo, '91 Boarala 'cross, '93 Project 3, '86 Volpe, '97 Ti Megatube, , '90 something Vento 603,
Others but still loved,; '80 RIGI, '80 Batavus Professional, '87 Cornelo, '09 Motobecane SOLD, '?? Jane Doe (still on the drawing board), '90ish Haro Escape
You will probably need a new bottom bracket to adjust for chainline... otherwise you will find the chain dropping more than it should.
I would swtich the crank, since those exposed crank bolt holes are a hazard for tangling the chain if it drops or they might hit your frame once you adjust for chainline.
I swapped a double chainring to 1 X 8 with only the innner ring. It never once fell off -- and why would it? It's not like the front derailleur being there, doing absolutely nothing, frightens the chain so it won't fall off.
The real issue, is what you'll be gaining -- which is basically nothing. Unless you really really hate shifting your front derailleur or something.
Cyclist, angler and aquarist
Going to a single ring up front is a nice way to simplify the bike if you get sufficient range with just the rear. If you have a cheap crankset, you may find that the crank is attached directly to the middle ring, with the inner and outer rings being attached to the middle with rivets. In this case, you can just drill out the rivets to remove the extra chainrings. I did this when converting to a IGH with great success.
I've got a bike, you can ride if you like it's got a basket, a bell that rings and things to make it look good- Pink Floyd, 1967
the elimination of the front derailleur, cable, stops, lever, two chainrings and a set of bolts are not "nothing". and browsing through this forum for questions about front derailleurs makes it clear that people seem to have a LOT of problems with them. i say good riddance to them.
err... if you can live with the limited gearinch range you will have, that is.

I lost my chain a few times on rough trails running a multi-speed 44T without an FD. A change to a single-speed 44T fixed that right up though.
I was using an OLDE rear derailer though, probably had a weaker tension spring than Turbine's.
1980ish Free Spirit Sunbird fixed * 1996 Mongoose IBOC Zero-G * 1995ish Park Pre Pro 825 * 1997 KHS Comp * 1990-ish Scapin * Lemond Buenos Aires Triple
On a triple the middle ring is in the right spot for a single chainring
Its in the middle.. just get shorter bolts and take off the other 2 chainrings
might be time for a new chain anyhow, make the new one shorter
since no Big ring any more..
I have 9 speed in the back and don't thing I have ever used the other 2 chainrings. Simplifying is my goal. I just installed a brand new sram chain last week. I rode around in my neighborhood lookig for some dirt hills and it popped off. One of the outer links bent and I replaced it with one I removed when I resized it. Rode again and it bent again in a different link. WTF!
anyway back on topic. The large chainring is on the outerside of the crank and the middle and smaller are on the inside between the crank and frame. Think I could just remove them and get smaller bolts without problems?
1980ish Free Spirit Sunbird fixed * 1996 Mongoose IBOC Zero-G * 1995ish Park Pre Pro 825 * 1997 KHS Comp * 1990-ish Scapin * Lemond Buenos Aires Triple
Thanks, I'm just New to wrenching and don't all the ins and outs yet.
Should I get an SS specific 32t chainring or will that require a new crank?
You dont need to , but , I like the QBP/Surly Stainless steel chainrings,.. Should I get an SS specific 32t chainring ..
for my IG hub build.
to keep the chain from bouncing off the chainring ,
there are parts to add to do that.
easiest. the derailleur with the limit screws put in to each other
to center over that ring.
Chainguard discs, in place of the outer chainring,
and chainminders/and the 'jump-stop' are another approach..
on either side of your 1 chainring..
Otherwise you have two options, either continue to use the middle chainring as you're doing or install a SS chainring whose profile isn't designed to assist up/downshifts (to help prevent throwing the chain), that failing, a new crankset.
Thanks! I'll research into all of these. I will just keep the FD on for now until I decide what to do. Thanks for all the help everyone.

Activated carbon
Well I have a marineland eclipse filter cartrige in my tank lid, which has activated carbon. i've been reading that the carbon needs to be replaced every 2 months or so. These cartriges arent refillable, and I dont want to replace the whole filter because of the bacteria... What does everyone do? Or do I not need to do anything?
I'm not sure what you should do but here's what I do:
I cut to fit a piece of prefilter material (what is this material called? Looks like the scrubber side of a sponge, is thick and it's white?) to fit into the slot of the cartridge. It was a little tricky as I had to cut out some of the black pieces of the plastic grid that were in the way and keeping the piece I had cut from fitting snugly into that area where the carbon was. I don't believe using carbon is at all necessary, except when after you have treated a tank with meds and want to remove the residual meds that may be in the water. Now when I do my weekly water changes I can easily pulll out that piece, rinse it in old tank water and put it back in. Your tank has the bio-wheel, correct? Most of your biological media is sitting on that wheel, rather than in your carbon filter "thingy". Using my replacement prefilter "thingy" also saves me money as I don't have to keep buying replacement filters, which fell apart after a month anyway.
(It's early here in California so my brain is having trouble finding my proper nouns. :-) )

I'm assuming your cartridge filter looks something along the lines of this:
Agree with kymmie. If I recall correctly mrdemin, you have plants; although it is debatable, most of us don't recommend carbon or other chemical media in the filters on planted aquaria. Carbon works to remove things from the water, and plants can do the job better and use some of the nutrients.
Yes kymmie, thats exactly it. So should I just rip that part off and leave it by itself, or leave the carbon as well? I read that the carbon itself becomes toxic when it wears down...
I also have to keep the back black piece, otherwise the other part will be too low underwater to catch anything
I ripped off the blue part, dumped the carbon and then used a pair of kitchen shears to cut out the raised cross grids so that a filter sponge (cut to fit) would fit in there, in place of the carbon. If I'm not describing it well enough for you to visualize it I could always take a pic and post it, if you want. :)
What if I attached the filter stuff the same way the old sponge used to sit with a rubber band or something, this way nothing flows over the plastic lips?
Am I going to be losing a lot of bacteria replacing the sponge? Is there a way to "break it in"?
I wouldn't worry about your biological media as that's what your biowheel is for. I didn't need to attach the new filter pad as I cut it to fit perfectly into the *square* area where the carbon and blue pad where. You need to cut out the inside raised plastic grid in order for the new filter to fit snugly into place.
I will take some pictures for you tomorrow so you can better understand what I'm trying to describe. I know I'm not doing a very good job verbally of explaining. A picture is worth a thousand words!
You're very helpful :) Thanks.
I thinkk I do understand, but if it fits in that "compartment" doesnt stuff flow over the tabs that are left around it?

Well written, well acted, well staged and a strong message.

The National Gallery of Art was Andrew W. Mellon's monumental gift to the nation, accepted and established as a public-private partnership through a joint resolution of Congress in 1937. Since that date, the Gallery has served a national role by preserving, collecting, exhibiting, and fostering the understanding of works of art at the highest possible museum and scholarly standards. During fiscal year 2014, the Gallery remained dedicated to this mission.
This year the Board of Trustees elected a new president of the Gallery, Frederick W. Beinecke, who became a member of the Trustees' Council in 2004 and a general trustee in 2007. On behalf of the Board of Trustees and the executive officers of the Gallery, I would like to thank Victoria Sant for her service as president and to welcome Mr. Beinecke in his new role. In addition we welcomed a new senior curator of special projects in modern art, Lynne Cooke, whose knowledge, contacts, and experience will further enhance the Gallery's work in modern art.

Fuse Talk Vunerabilities
From: Stuart Jamieson (stuart.jamieson_at_active-outdoors.co.uk)
Date: 05/05/04
- Previous message: advisories: "Corsaire Security Advisory - Verity Ultraseek path disclosure issue"

Date: 5 May 2004 12:15:06 -0000 To: firstname.lastname@example.com('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is)
As well as well known XSS vunerabilities the latest version 4.0 seems to have some other issues.
Unpatched releases of V4.0 allow the user to access the Template banning.cfm without any administrative privleages. All users of the software should check with fusetalk.com for the latest security patches to prevent this being misused.
Access to this template allows any user to ban any other users and seems to be particularly vunerable. Fortunately it does not affect the administration templates, merely the moderation ones so the chances of an attacker gaining higher levels of access seem unlikely.
Another issue seems to exist which I have only so far tested on Version 2.0 and am unsure if this also occurs in V3-4, it appears that within the administration templates adduser.cfm allows parameters to be passed by a get statement rather than a post statement.
This potential vunerability could allow a hostile to create a new account by tricking some other person with moderator powers. Although it may seem obvious that a link to
would create a new account, if the adress is hidden within an image tag [img][/img] then the event will fire the creation of the account when the administrators web browser attempts to download the image.
This could be extended by the variable FTVAR_SCRIPTRUN=self.close which even in not creating an account would be capable running malicious javascript when an administrative user attempted to follow the link.
Since fusetalk relies nearly entirely on POST based data the best fix for this is to restrict posting of data by a GET statement.

Your purchase agreement (offer) should include any major repairs that you would like the seller (bank) to complete for you before you take possession of the property. If any other significant items come up during the inspection process, you can prepare an addendum requesting additional work to be done. If requesting additional work after your offer has been accepted, be sure to include quotes from at least 2 licensed contractors.
Be aware that the bank has an incentive to complete repairs in order to either make the property sell faster or to preserve the property (i.e. leaking roof or termite repairs). Anything else is not likely to be considered. Also, the bank will not give you cash back to make the repairs yourself - the bank-authorized repairs will need to be completed before the property transfers ownership to you. This means that you may get new carpet, but it will be standard medium-grade neutral-tan carpet instead of whatever you've set your heart on at the local store.
As others have said, use a realtor so all of these requests are handled correctly, or the bank will not consider them.
Good luck!
Yes you can request money off or you can ask for an allowance for the repairs. Please make sure that you make this request when you first make the offer. Once the property is under contract, the seller will not make any adjustments to the price since the property is sold *AS-IS*. If I can assist you with any other questions, please feel free to contact me at 770-369-0261 or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com
Felicia Williams
Solid Source Realty
The short answer is yes, but so much more is involved. You and your reputable agent should consider a number of things (comparable home sales, needed repairs, days on market, the opportunity for a fast closing since you're paying cash, etc.) into your offer. Please give some thought into finding an agent of your own to prepare an offer that factors in your interests.

"Great family get a-way"
We've stayed in lots of properties at Sunriver and really liked #28 Big Leaf. It was perfect for our family of four -- two adults and two teenagers -- with good space for us to be together. The deck is awesome. We spent a lot of time out there. All of the recent upgrades are great. The only suggestion I would make is a new coffeepot. Thanks for a great stay.

"Family Fun in Sunriver!"
This house exceeded our expectations. It was clean, had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Our grandkids loved having the lawn in the back, where they could play. There are a couple of things I would bring next time - good knives and mini chopper, but this is probably just me. We cooked every day, so these are necessities to me. Amazing experience. The location is perfect and my husband's birthday celebration was a blast!

"Great house"
We loved staying at this house. It is really well appointed and well supplied. It had everything we needed. We were there during a heat wave and the upstairs got very hot (not enough windows that open) but the owners had even supplied fans for every room. Very thoughtful. We will be back!

We had a wonderful time. The rental unit was everything that we hoped it would be--clean, spacious and inviting. The Discover Sunriver staff was exceptional. They were very kind and thoughtful.

"Nice Stay at #28 Big Leaf"
This was our fourth Spring Break staying in a Discover Sunriver rental home. Our favorite location #10 Mt Adams was already booked and so we chose #28 Big Leaf. I felt the rental conditions at #28 Big Leaf were average. We had more value for money at the #10 Mt Adams and #26 Hickory. At #28 Big Leaf, we couldn't get the bar on the hot tub to fit properly, the appliances in the kitchen were very old and the upstairs bed mattresses uncomfortable. But the kids enjoyed the games and one of the puzzles. The back private room was very nice. Overall, we still had a great time staying in the rental home, skiing at Bachelor, and swimming/climbing at Mavericks.
Response from the , Discover Sunriver Vacation Rentals - 03/31/2012
It sounds like 10 Mt Adams is your favorite. We hope it is available for you next time.

"The only negative comment I would have is regarding the hot tub"
The only negative comment I would have is regarding the hot tub - which did not keep temperature, had poor water jet power and the cover was impossible to move and lift back into place. Otherwise Big Leaf 28 is a great house that we will plan on coming
back to again and again. The staff at Discover Sunriver were exceptional and the property owner very supportive in helping us while our automobile was being repaired. They made all the difference in our stay - thank you

"we were very impressed with the house overall; clean, well appoi"
only suggestions would be a regular cutting board (glass one is hard to use) and a way to play ipod or cds, otherwise we loved the property and would request again if we visit sunriver.

"Beautiful Vacation"
The house is updated in all the right places--kitchen & bathrooms! The floor plan was great for our young family (2 kiddos under 6 years old).Very quiet and peaceful neighborhood with easy access to everything. The only recommendation would be an easier way to get the hot tub top on/off as it is very challenging to put back on!Other than all, AWESOME place.
Response from the , Discover Sunriver Vacation Rentals - 03/27/2011
Glad you think the home is awesome.

"Three Day Stay Was Nice"
The property is in a nice quiet location not too far from Maverick's. The young adults in the group had no problem finding time to nap on the couches in the living room. Everything was nicely appointed and clean. Be aware that the hot tub lid is heavy with no spring help when lifting it. I'd definately recommend the house, and I'd love to stay there in the summer.

"Our Sunriver Getaway"
Big Leaf 28 exceeded our expectations. A mostly quiet location save for the periodic sounds of lawn mowers and leaf blowers operated by maintenance staff for other residences, beautiful landscaping, frequently visited by a family of deer, a large spacious floor plan, the renovation work throughout was very stylish and well done, very clean, well appointed with all the necessary amenities, very comfortable living room couch, very large deck with many over-stuffed seating options, large, private outdoor hot tub. One negative: the beds. The master bedroom mattress is not placed on a box spring but alone on too few supporting wood slats. It has a big annoying dip in it. A simple fix will remedy this. Two of the three upstairs beds are comfortable enough, although a bit short in length for any adult over a height of 5'7", but the third (the second upstairs Queen size) is reminiscent of an inexpensive hotel bed. Too hard for comfort unless one prefers a very hard mattress. All things considered, we will definitely return.
Response from the , Discover Sunriver Vacation Rentals - 10/10/2010
Thank you for such a detailed review. We appreciate all your comments and will pass your thoughts on. We look forward to your return visit.

"Spring Break ski trip"
We absolutely loved this house!!! It is a cozy location that is ideal for a small family (there were 3 of us) or two couples. The house has been completely remodoled and was nicely done. We have stayed at several homes in Sunriver and this was our favorite. We will certainly rent it again.

The Black Death of the mid-14th century destroyed a proportion of Europes population in a way that mentally and emotionally scarred those left alive. Although the plague years may be seen as a low point in the history of human thought and achievements, its tragedy also stimulated achievements in science and medicine as well as new perspectives on social and religious authority. The German artist Ulrich Kriechbaums sculpture of St. Sebastian, created around 1470, stands out in particular as a reflection of the attitudes and values of the times after the plague. This sculpture, depicting the Christian martyr and patron saint of plague victims, can be seen as an embodiment of the scientific, superstitious, and religious beliefs that permeated European society after the outbreak of the Black Death and in the Renaissance years to come.

I've finally caught up with the trend and am today officially posting my first weblog. All I can say is "It's about time..." which sounds faintly reminiscent of what my mother-in-law said when I proposed to her daughter. There may be some interesting analogies between the blogging trend and marriage that I reserve the right to exploit later in this post.
First, the Formalities
The focus of this blog will inherit from my role and mission here at Microsoft, leading a team of technical and solution specialists who focus on the Education vertical: "Empower people to realize their social and economic potential by enabling access to quality education experiences for all through technology." As lofty as a goal as that may seem, I'm going to assume, at least for the time being, that every little point of light will help the cause.
We call this team of specialists that I manage, by the way, the Education Specialist Team Unit, or STU for short. Every sales district and subsidiary at Microsoft has one, both in the US and internationally, and the specialists therein typically focus on or have unique training and expertise in one of Microsoft's many product areas - groupings we call "workloads". Our team goal, then, is to provide pre-sales engineering support to the account teams that directly manage our customer relationships, in their pursuit of IT solutions. Sometimes that support is virtual, via phone, email, blogging, podcasting and Live Meeting, but you'll frequently see us navigating the concourses, rail terminals and highways across the US to support customer opportunities in person.
Personally, I've been managing such resources at Microsoft, for US Education, for 5 years; and prior to that I was a Systems Engineer supporting Education and State & Local Government customers in the northern California area for 5 years. Beyond some early coding, training and project management work in my career, the bulk of my adult life has been spent in some pre-sales engineering or consulting capacity which most people recognize as an interesting skills mix of technology expertise and value translation.
Next, the Realities
Having worked in several verticals over the 20 years of my professional career (chemical manufacturing, high tech, public sector, defense contracting), Education customers provide an interesting mix of challenge and reward. While you could argue that education customers are technology laggards (especially when it comes to some of the desktop machines that are still in use), the opposite could just as easily be proved by observing the trends in mobility, wireless, social networking and high performance computing, for example. Regardless of your take, I personally enjoy both the challenges and rewards of daily interaction with education customers, attempting to address and solve their technology and process issues. Microsoft is a company with extensive resources and innovation to address many, but not all, of the said issues, and we usually have the wisdom to admit when we don't.
We are all ultimately products of our upbringing and education (genes and pre-dispositions notwithstanding) and with 3 school-age children of my own, I thrive on the opportunity to apply my work to life, and my life to work - it's not every job that allows you that luxury. As most Education Team members will tell you, however, it is getting increasing difficult to disconnect one from the other in this age of always on and connected. Will that make the future of teaching, learning, technology (and living) different than it is today? I have a premise and some ideas, but you'll have to tune in next time to read what they are. Until then - it's all about edU.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Eden's Vegetarian Dining and Catering
by Breezy
Review: On our way back from Florida, we wanted to find somewhere that was close to I-95 to stop and eat, so I chose this place. I am so glad that I did. Alex (the chef) was so kind to us and accomadating! He opened for us for dinner, and served up the most delicious meals in those parts of hick-town. My dad had the bbq and I had the curry chicken which was delicious. The salad with the house-dressing was so fresh and tasty. I wish I lived closer, because I would definitely go back there more often. The dining room was absolutely gorgeous as well as the location. It was so nice. Probably the best I've been to so far. Check it out if along your way on 95 through NC.
