text: Former Marine tells Vietnam stories in debut book Everyone remembers an iconic image of the Vietnam War. A young girl runs down the street in obvious pain, napalm burns covering her body. But how many people know the untold stories of Vietnam? Former marine and Granite Bay resident, Richard Botkin makes his debut as an author with "Ride the Thunder: A Vietnam War story of Honor and Triumph." 1. What is "Ride the Thunder" about? "I had originally wanted to write a book about the 442nd Regiment in WWII when I realized there wasn't a new story to tell. I had already written for a year on the 442 when I scrapped that project after meeting five men who fought in the Vietnam War and had really incredible stories to tell. I wanted to adequately tell their stories and celebrate the bravery and courage of these men who had sacrificed everything to fight for freedom. It tells the stories of three American Marine officers and two South Vietnamese Marine officers with an overlay of the events surrounding the Vietnam War. I also focused on the last three years, why the war was lost and why it did not have to end the way it did." 2. Why did you decide to write about the Vietnam War? "Many of the stories about the Vietnam War are not adequately told. The war itself was and still is somewhat controversial, but it doesn't need to be. And yet Americans don't know the truth. Vietnam doesn't receive the same scrutiny as WWII because we won so convincingly whereas in Vietnam, we were portrayed as the bad guys. In reality, after the war more than 3 million Vietnamese left the country after the war because they refused to live under communism. That culture venerates their elders. They live in the same place for generations out of respect for their heritage so for that many to leave is huge. It tells us that we were the good guys in Vietnam, but that's not the view that was portrayed in the media." 3. How is this book different from other Vietnam War books? "This is the history people have never learned because it tells the stories of both sides. These are the stories of true heroism most of what America remembers doesn't center on heroism but inaccuracies and a misunderstanding of events. President Nixon said that Vietnam was the most misunderstood war in American history. It was misrepresented then and misremembered now. It's different in that it portrays Americans in a different light and sets the record straight about the South Vietnamese, people that fought hard and with bravery." 4. How long did it take you to write this book? "The book took me five years to write, one year to edit and four trips Vietnam to research. I traveled with one of the main characters in the book and learned the most amazing stuff. I never really considered myself a writer, I'd had some stuff published online but this I really just fell into. It was a God-inspired endeavor, I was a former marine and wanted to pay the Marine Corps back for everything they did for me in my life. I see myself doing more with Vietnam and am open to writing more on the Vietnamese. I only scratched the surface with this book and I believe there are so many stories of greatness yet to be chronicled." 5. What did writing this book teach you? "I learned that it's important to learn lessons of history and not repeat the same mistakes. Americans are under the impression that freedom is an American ideal, but it's important to view the world and other countries and know that they hold the same ideals. Freedom is a human condition. Everybody wants better for his or her children, a better education a better way of life. We questioned communism and we were right to oppose it." Botkin's book is available online at amazon.com

Seahawks at Qualcomm Stadium, Game 2 (home opener): The previous eight Super Bowl champs failed to make it two in a row, the Ravens going 8-8 last year to extend the streak. Seattle's defense still looks ornery. Quarterback Russell Wilson is entering only his third pro season, while speedster Percy Harvin figures to be healthier than he was last year.
Broncos at Denver, Game 8 (Thursday night): In the Peyton Manning era, the Broncos are 16-3 at home (.842), including two playoffs wins and a 2-1 mark versus the Chargers. For what it's worth, a strong rushing attack powered the visitors' two in-season victories, by the Texans in 2012 and the Chargers last December. The Chargers will be coming off a home game against the Chiefs.
49ers at Santa Clara, Game 15: They looked more dangerous four months ago, entering the NFC championship game. Troubles have since found three of their difference-makers: NaVorro Bowman (reconstructive knee surgery), Aldon Smith (arrest) and Colin Kaepernick (investigated for a "suspicious" incident in Miami). Still, it's a very talented team that holds 11 picks in the May draft.
Jaguars at Jacksonville, Game 4: Speaking of kittens, the Chargers have faced Jacksonville three times in the last four years, going 3-0 and winning by an average score of 33-11. The Jaguars have Chad Henne as their quarterback, unless they plug in a rookie after drafting one next month. Under rookie head coach Gus Bradley, they started 0-8 last year but won four of their final eight games.
Jets at Qualcomm Stadium, Game 5: In eight road games last year, Geno Smith had a 59.3 passer rating and threw 13 interceptions against five TD passes. The defense looks like it'll be a punch in the mouth, but Nate Kaeding isn't around to help the Jets by missing field-goal attempts at Qualcomm (see 2004 and 2009 playoffs, Marty Schottenheimer and Norv Turner frowning).
Raiders at Qualcomm Stadium, Game 10: The Chargers will be coming off a bye. Under rookie head coach Mike McCoy, they lost to the Redskins last year following the bye week, but they'll be at home against an old Raiders team that may be losing some steam. The Chargers have won four of their last five games against Oakland.
For a reminder of what folly it is to forecast an NFL schedule's qualities, we give you the 2013 Chargers. You'll see them in the dictionary next to "helter-skelter." Below, we bravely list what appear to be the three toughest games on the team's 2014 schedule. Bear in mind what happened last December in what looked like a super-toughie: in Denver on short rest, the Chargers dealt the Broncos their only home loss all season. For the Chargers, it was their first win as a double-digit underdog, in season, since a 1988 triumph in Anaheim over the Rams.
First off, note the quotation marks in the headline. Defeating any NFL team is seldom easy — and don't the Chargers know it. Last year, they lost to the Texans, Redskins and Raiders, who would finish the season with records of 2-14, 3-13 and 4-12. When the schedule came out two years ago, the Panthers looked like kittens. By the time they got to San Diego in December, they were rolling behind young Cam Newton. Not only did they rout the Chargers, they followed with a 12-4 season last year.
So, consider the three games below to be less challenging than the other 13.

Looking to the Youth
Web-savvy, gear-hungry and ready to buy, teens are the epitome of the digital consumer. But that's just part of the story.
By Sean Wargo
Director of Industry Analysis
Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)
We've heard a number of times in our lives that children are our future. And it seems fitting, as we buckle down for the holidays and stand on the eve of another year, to take a look at both the present and the future of the CE marketplace through the eyes of the emerging CE consumer set—teens. Herein lies a glimpse at what tomorrow's products and retail environments will be, as well as suggestions for how we can today reach this large and somewhat untapped youth market.
Whether they go by Gen Y, Gen Z, or any other label, one thing is sure: This group is the epitome of the digital consumer. As shown through their CE holiday wish lists taken from a recent CEA study, much of their world is centered on the PC and it topped the list as their most desired product this holiday season. The PC is information source, entertainment medium and communications device all rolled into one. From it, their digital lifestyles encompass desired products like cell phones, game consoles, CD headsets and portable MP3 players—all part of a connected web of product emanating out from the PC.
As significant purchasers of these devices, both for themselves and others, teens cannot be ignored. According to CEA's youth holiday survey, they have big plans for buying CE products as presents this year. And contrary to what you might expect, their parents' cash isn't necessarily on the line. The majority of teens plan to use their own money to pay for gifts. Top products on their gift lists include headset CD players, game consoles, cell phones and MP3 players. All of this leaves me wishing I was on one of these teens' "to buy for" lists this year!

Good stuff but awfull tast
Posted by Reviewer1389995 on Dec 14, 2012
I think this stuff is good, but the taste is awful. Besides that i didn't dare to eat a lot because it's from Japan and i'm afraid of eating radioactive food.
Strong taste.
Posted by HildeK on Jul 07, 2012
If you have never tasted chlorella before I would not recommend that you start with this one. Get a box of pills of capsules first, and then use powder. It is cheaper, is fairly easy to use in juice and so on, but the taste is really strong and can remind of fish.
Posted by Reviewer1408772 on Jul 23, 2008
Product is too strong for my digestion. It does not mean it is bad. I guess people with stronger digestion will benefit it better

Hair Coloring Tutorial by BloodlineVWatch
©2013-2016 BloodlineV
Hey,hey what app is this :3
Extremely helpful, thank you
very helpful! thanks!
nice !
Man, I've been going about shading hair all wrong! Thank you for making this tutorial!
gyaaa ~ tyvm ~
question-- on step 3, do you put on the lock AFTER you do that step or before?
I don't actually know why I have locked the layer there. You shouldn't lock it at all because otherwise you cannot draw on it anymore. ^^''
Thanks, this tutorial helped me quite a lot i/
Woah, This tutorial is awesome!! o__O
I have a question though.. Is this easier to do with a graphics tablet?
I dont have one so mouse is the only device I can use for the whole coloring process o.o
I have a question though.. Is this easier to do with a graphics tablet?

Yes, it is much easier to do with a graphics tablet, I wouldn't recommend a mouse for digital drawing.
Yes, it is much easier to do with a graphics tablet, I wouldn't recommend a mouse for digital drawing.
can you see my digital art and see if mine is good? i just started this week and i want someone to sort of teach me by critiquing
would this work if i used fire alpaca, and not sai?
I'm not sure how to get luminosity because when I choose marker and then click mode there is no luminsoity option. Tbh I don't even know what luminsoity does...
Luminosity is in the left or righthand side underneath the preview of the art, there should be something called 'mode' click on that and a dropdown menu will open and clickon luminosity. I dunno if that's a good explanation or anything
May I ask how you do this if you want to color for example black hair?
Thank you so much..you saved my life
OMG, thank you for the tutorial. I don't know who you are but I will find you and I will love you.
thanks for the great tutorial
oh my god, I love this!!!!!! O': I'm so happy!!! it is such a great tutorial! thank you so so so so soooo much! seriously! :'3 you're awesome! x3 YAY!
Not sure if its been asked but may I ask what setting do you use for Marker and Air Brush?
genius! Ty for this tutorial :3
thankyouu so much~ :3
Helped a lot, maybe I should use SAI more...
Thanks for the tutorial, it really helps
THAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNKSSSSSSSSS....asdfghjhlk AND I FOUND ANOTHER WONDERFUL ARTIST HNG
thanks so much! i love your coloring style and it helped me a lot find ways to go from just plain cell shading ;o;
BloodlineV, this tutorial helped me a tad and I wanted to obviously give you credit under the pic, but I obviously read the link thing wrong...
Thanks for the great tutorial, though I should probably start with the basics first.
um...um....your tutorial is really helpful!^^
Very usefull !
When the part 3 ? ^^
When the part 3 ? ^^
Quite useful, thanks
thank you, lovely tut!
I have a question : you edit this on your computer or you used a tablet ?

I'm so pissed off at my in laws !! Some weeks ago, my brother in law ( 40 years old man.. business man.. well settled..) asked my husband ( 28 yrs old, we live in a one bedroom apartment, struggling to make ends meet with two car loans to pay) to get him an itouch as a gift ( and my brother in law gives "ZERO" gifts to my husband. Last weekend, my SIL asked my husband to buy her an expensive watch ( which is more than 1200 dollars( YES- more than 1200 dollars) for her husband and she obviously doesn't intend to give money for it. Today my husband's nephew (brother in law's son) asked my husband to bring him a PSP ( my husband has already gifted a nintendo and innumerous nintendo CDs to him). I mean.. there is no end to their demands !! Among four brothers and sisters, my husband is the one who doesn't own a house, who works like an ass and has a job( the rest three have their own thriving businesses) and I travel 35 miles each day each way for my office for a contractual job. We are TTC and every time such demand comes up, we argue and somehow I instantly feel a throbbing pain in my lower abdomen..I've had a terrible pain in my lower abdomen since today afternoon and I know it is all because of the stress I am facing.. I just don't know what to do.. For three years straight, mu husband kept saying that we didn't have enough money to raise a child and somehow he has all the money in the world to throw on his family.... thousands of dollars,.. I'm sorry its TMI.. my mother had a heart stroke few months back so I don't share my worries with her any more.. its you all who are becoming a big support for me.. I'm sad and dissappointed..and in pain !! I have started hating weekends ( every weekend ..we just end up arguing and fighting over his family's demands).. I can't relax even on weekends.. ĀHow can I relax and not worry while TTC ? Its very frustrating..
Greedy In laws

So where in the world does his family get the idea that he has this amount of money to be throwing away?┬Ā They can't tell that you guys are struggling?┬Ā Also this monney that he gives away, is it also yours?┬Ā Like do you have a joint checking account?┬Ā Cause if so I would be getting my own checking account.┬Ā He needs to take into account the fact that this is your life and money too.┬Ā Just my thoughts, but I needed to say it.┬Ā Someone needs to speak up and tell his family that you guys are barely making ends meet, you can't afford theses outrageous gifts.┬Ā Also, money and posessions don't make you happy.┬Ā When you give them something once, they will just keep their hands out until you get your point across.
Im so sorry for everything you are going through. I have a similar situation with my MIL and BIL. We are a one income family right now, but after my FIL passed away last year, my DH and his brother received a inheritance. (HIs parents have been divorced for almost 20 years). So my BIL went through all the money within 8 mos and MIL calls every 5 days for money. Finally the blow up came when we got married, and I put my foot down to the constant money requests. Basically she hates me now, but we are basically going broke.┬Ā
We had a huge issue because I always waned to talk about the issue with his family, and DH didnt. So we sat down and fnally talked about it one weekend. We made a compromise not to bring it up anymore, unless his family starts asking again. Our time together is finally getting better and we are bonding as a couple again. Its hard sometimes because I want to vent at his mothers behavior (especially this past week) but since she isnt asking for money, I dont vent to him.┬Ā
I dont really have any advice, but I hope my story will help :) GL!┬Ā
I have communicated a lot of times about how we have to struggle everyday to make our ends meet.. Somehow they turn a deaf ear to that and always influence my husband emotionally and make him feel responsible towards their demands.. and all of them join the band ( my MIL, FIL, SILs and BIL ) every one !!! cheap cheap.. they are very insensitive and very cheap.. I had left some clothes that I wore at my wedding ( really expensive dresses) and most of my jewellery with my MIL ( and the next time I went to visit them, I saw that almost all my clothes were used ( some even torn !) and some pieces of jewellery broken !!!! They are that cheap.. They couldn't handle my footwear too !! They misplaced some of them too... you can just imagine how bad they are.. My husband spends his own money but then he is ready to pay debt than letting his family know that we can't affort those expensive gifts !!
1st of all, who the heck has the audacity to say, "Oh btw, you should buy so and so a really expensive...whatever"?! 2nd of all, since they obviously do have audacity to suggest that your DH buy such lavish gifts, that's all well and good but it doesn't mean that you have to buy them. ┬ĀI would definitely put my foot down and have DH say something. ┬ĀI could never imagine anyone in my family making such suggestions and if they did, I would have a smart a$$ remark to follow it up with. ┬ĀHow dare they! ┬ĀGood luck to you & make sure you separate yourself from the drama and stress. ┬Ā
I agree.. they have no right to demand such things.. that is rude and inconciderate.┬Ā I think that some people out there are just so used to others buying for and taking care of them that they think it will always be ok.┬Ā You both need to put your foot down and say NO.┬Ā If they cant deal with it , then they can buy the items they want themselves.. its not your problem!
DS Ethan 9/29/09
#2 due 1. 7. 2013- its a Girl!!
I imagine the family goes in together like a group gift to buy these gifts right?! ┬Ā ┬Ā So when SIL comes and suggests an expensive watch, she isn't pinning it just on your dh, she's suggestion this lavish gift be split between all the brothers like a group gift. ┬Ā ┬Ā Otherwise it would make no sense that a family member would make these expectations and demands. ┬Ā ┬Ā ┬ĀThen I could see your dh feeling like if all of his other sibs are contribution $400 for this group gift that he has to too. ┬Ā ┬ĀNot saying this is right but if this is how it works you've left out a big piece of the story.┬Ā
Have you thought about setting up a budget with dh? ┬Ā ┬Ā ┬Ā Put your monthly expenses in a spread sheet including everything like rent, car, gas, grocery, cable, cell phone, dining out, etc. ┬Ā ┬Ā ┬Ā Then also allocate so much per month to "gifts". ┬Ā ┬Ā ┬Ā ┬ĀSay you allocate $100 to miscellaneous gifts. Then decide with dh that you will agree to stick to this budget and any deviation to the budget must be agree on by both of you. ┬Ā ┬Ā ┬ĀIf you've exhausted your dining out budget then you both would need to agree to take money from some other line item to pay for the meal. ┬Ā ┬ĀTogether agreeing.
So the first month that the gift budget is blown by dh and his family, pull out the budget and ask dh where he thinks you can pull money from this month to pay for that lavish gift?!
With the facts right there in black and white it will be easier to make the executive decision "No, our budget doesn't allow" ┬Ā sorry I can't agree to this. ┬Ā ┬Ā
Then have another gift idea all ready to go to throw out to dh. ┬Ā ┬Ā "We're going to have to pass on the expensive watch because it doesn't fit our budget but ┬Āhow about a fish finder for BIL's canoe........ ┬Āa pedometer, ┬Āa case with keyboard for his IPAD, ┬ĀA tomato plant full of about ripe tomato's (at Lowe's), ┬Ā whatever. ┬Ā ┬Ā ┬Ā Have an alternate creative idea (not gift card!) ready to go.
I'm sorry to say this, but I think this is a problem more with your husband than your in-laws.┬Ā They are just going with the flow and doing what they've been permitted to do all along (ask for expensive gifts and get them).┬Ā Who can really blame them?┬Ā The person you need to be having an honest discussion with is your husband.┬Ā It sounds like you two are not on the same page financially, and that's sort of a big deal.┬Ā Any financial desicions you make will be less important than the decisions you make as a family, so if the two of you can't agree now on how to spend your money, how can you be assured that you're going to agree on how to raise your family?┬Ā I think that you should consider entering counseling with your husband so that the two of you can hash out what you both need and expect from one another.
Good luck to you!
Follow my new blog at http://sparklingzombie.blogspot.com/
Thanks for your comments/opinions/suggestions ladies.. it means a lot to me.. and also since I can't share it with my mom..┬Ā
My in laws are simple plain- greedy...
And my husband-- ignorant by choice and a big fool. So they all can have fun at my husban'd expense. I have talked to him and tried my brains out to make him understand how much we need to save for a baby and buying a house..he just refuses to grow..my SILs and MIL have brainwashed his thinking in a big way.┬Ā
And guess what ?!! My brother in law's wife actually instigates her 3 kids to ask for gifts !! And SIL (husband's sister) .. I've heard her myself whispering to her kids to ask for gifts !! ( and she is a damn BILLIONAIRE ).. They might even leave us with no clothes on one day..I won't be surprised if that happens one day..

Hi there!
I've upgraded my WordPress and everything is working fine. Except for the thumbnails en the photo's that are supposed to be at the frontpage. If you read the post the photo is showing.
I'm using the 'Original News' theme (free from Woo) and I'm aware that they could be more help. But I have to pay if I use their forums... :(
So I thought I would give it a try here before deciding to use another theme.
What I did before asking here:
Cleared my cache
Turned off pluginns
Tried different other themes (they are working fine)
Optimized my DB
Searched on this and the Dutch forums

In a First, U.S. Officials Put Limits on California's Thirst
By DEAN E. MURPHY
Published: January 5, 2003
LAKE HAVASU CITY, Ariz., Jan. 4— Three of the eight pumps that tap into the glistening reservoir of Colorado River water near here are sitting idle, by order of the federal government.
With the pumps switched off since 8 a.m. New Year's Day, less water is churning down the 242-mile aqueduct toward coastal Southern California, where 17 million people rely on snowmelt from the Rocky Mountains for washing dishes, flushing toilets and watering lawns.
This is a pivotal moment in the contentious history of water in the arid West, which more often than not has pitted California's unquenchable thirst against that of its smaller but equally parched neighbors.
For the first time since it was given the authority four decades ago, the United States Department of the Interior has said no to California's dipping into the Colorado River for more than its allotted share.
Nudged on by six other states that draw from the river, Interior Secretary Gale A. Norton described the enforcement last month as ''a turning point in the history of the Colorado River.''
The circumstances that led to the crackdown involved a failed deal to move water from farms to cities in Southern California, a requirement of a federally brokered armistice along the Colorado two years ago. Though the farms-to-city provision was overshadowed by the consequences for California, it reflected an epic shift in the jostling for water that some water experts say could someday eclipse the rivalries among states.
Already as cities across the West look to agriculture to help meet growing water needs, demarcation lines are more likely to have swimming pools on one side and irrigation ditches on the other. Competing statehouses and cross-border agencies figure less into the calculation.
''Water has to move to the cities, and the only real issue now is under what terms,'' said Thomas J. Graff, regional director of the advocacy group Environmental Defense in Oakland, Calif., and a former member of the Colorado River Board of California.
The population in the West swelled by nearly one-fifth in the 1990's. California alone added 4.1 million people. The city of Phoenix grew by 350,000. At 66 percent, Nevada posted the fastest growth rate of any state.
Desperate to get water from a river whose every drop is spoken for, the booming urban centers that ring the Colorado River are looking inside their own states to entice farmers to break their century-old grip on irrigated water. While no one suggests agriculture will disappear, many farmers are likely to switch to crops that yield higher profits with less water. To make it happen, the rich urban areas are offering big sums of money and, when necessary, are exerting heavy political pressure.
That was demonstrated in striking fashion this week in the crackdown on California's water use, which was not limited to the idling of pumps here at Lake Havasu. The Interior Department, in another historic first, punished the most water-rich agricultural district in the West for not selling some water to San Diego County, where nearly three million people live with virtually no local water supplies.
Farmers in the district, the Imperial Irrigation District, pay $15.50 in delivery fees for each acre-foot of water they use. (An acre-foot is about 326,000 gallons, enough to fill an acre to a depth of one foot.) San Diego offered to buy up to 200,000 acre-feet a year -- about 7 percent of Imperial's supplies -- for $250 per acre-foot. Though in the end the district's board approved the sale, it loaded the deal down with conditions the Interior Department and other water districts would not accept.
With no deal, Ms. Norton ordered that the Imperial Irrigation District lose about the same amount of water from its annual Colorado River allotment, in this case without compensation. Separately, she directed cutbacks on surplus water to the Los Angeles-based Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. It complied by turning off the pumps near here on Wednesday morning.
Together, the penalties mean cities and farms in Southern California could be denied nearly 650,000 acre-feet of water from the river this year, enough to meet the needs of about 3.8 million people or a city roughly the size of Los Angeles.
Even if the water cuts are restored, as the Interior Department has pledged they will be if a belated deal on the San Diego sale is struck, water experts from across the West predicted ''a new era of limits'' for the Colorado River basin.
''The secretary has bit the bullet, something that everybody had said was coming for 40 years but nobody believed would really happen,'' said Joseph L. Sax, a professor of law at the University of California, Berkeley, who served as counselor to former Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt and is a consultant to the United States Bureau of Reclamation.
''This is a historic moment,'' Professor Sax said. ''California must live within its allotment. In particular, cutting back agricultural users by this administration will be remembered as quite an extraordinary thing.''

We have become accustomed to confusion at Arsenal haven't we? Well this is exactly How Sam Allardyce has described the circumstances surrounding his midfielder Mohamed Diame, who has been regularly linked with Arsenal this window.
Allardyce told Sky Sports:
'my understanding is that it's total confusion' …… ' There are certain situations where, yes, we might lose the player.'
As for David Villa, Wenger stated yesterday that Barcelona don't want to sell but the ever zealous Daily Mail says that Wenger will make 'one final swoop' for the striker after talks with the Arsenal top brass.
We think that every player has his price and if Arsenal really want the prolific striker then they must splash the cash.
We shall of course continue to be your eyes as the drama unfurls

I think i have one of the suckiest starting decks ever
Vermyn N
Wee Lee
and Oryon
what cards should i purchase cuz i hardly ever win with these
But you do have a few good cards in Vermyn N and Wee Lee. Don is ok too......probably cards from the same decks as these.
That completely depends on your style, you should match your style of play with 2 to 3 clans that work well with your style of play, use your starter deck as trade fodder unless their are cards that belong to the clans you decide to use
Thats a good starter deck bro, i started out with a deck of ALL COMMONS, with my 5 star as Gary. Your Lucky with Vermyn N & Wee Lee, IMO, save all your money for support cards, wait to buy your 1st pack and don't be excited to buy any cards yet... decide once you get your 1st Cool Pack, buy Bangers and Ulu Watu cards that you didn't get from your pack, they are contenders at ELO. ggs!

Rose blooms a new logo.
On a busy Saturday in Chicago this past weekend for the league's reigning MVP Derrick Rose – that saw him make a store appearance at the adidas Performance Store inside the Water Tower building, the Foot Locker on State Street, take part in an online chat with fans, capped off by an open run 3-on-3 with a few lucky fans at the James R. Jordan Boys and Girls Club – the Chicago Bulls point guard seemed even more humbled than usual as thousands of fans camped outside as early as Friday night hoping to catch a glimpse or be one of the lucky few to have their picture taken with Chicago's own.
CounterKicks was on hand at Foot Locker, located on 219 South State Street, as Rose met with fans to unveil the new adidas adiZero Rose 2 to his hometown and we got a chance to ask him and his brother Reggie about some details of the shoe amidst all the lockout-related questions, which he'll hopefully be having a chance to play in this year.
Derrick fielded questions in small groups of select media outlets and below you'll find the full transcript of the back-and-forth, with CounterKicks contributor Christopher Cason's questions prefaced with the "CK" designation.
The biggest unearthed info nugget for sneakerheads? We unwittingly stumbled onto Derrick Rose's brand new logo, unveiled on his hat, which he tells us all the inspiration for. You won't find the mark on any current adidas product as it's not scheduled for an official company reveal until next year. Luckily, we have some photos…
Talk about the commercial for the shoe.
Derrick Rose: It was very hard being out there in the sun all day. It actually took like three days. I went to Spain, the experience was great but I'm just happy the feedback is great. Everybody loved it and hopefully adidas comes up with some new ideas so that we'll be out there again, but somewhere else.
When (adidas) presented that concept to you, what was your reaction?
Rose: It was like all of a sudden. I was working out and I just got a call saying 'in two days, you're going to be in Spain.' I was getting prepared to go to China so, I'm thinking I have another week to stay in LA and work out and (adidas) called me and two days later I'm in Spain. I went from Spain to Shanghai, Shanghai to Guangzhou, Guangzhou to Beijing, Beijing to Taiwan and then came back to LA.
Does it feel a lot different than last year when you were with Dwight (Howard) and Ken Jeong, now you have it all to yourself; Do you like how that has kind of developed?
Rose: It's fun. If anything, I think I've matured as a person, just being able to talk to people. I think that helped me out a lot. Just by being over there and being by myself. Everybody was loving it, just interacting with the kids over there, the fans and hopefully I'll be over there (again) soon.
CK: With the adiZero Rose 1 and 1.5, the emphasis is on being lightweight but what were some of the changes you wanted with the adiZero Rose 2?
Rose: First off, it's a low-cut shoe. I've never played in a low-top shoe in my life and it's something new. I think it's a good looking shoe. Kids can actually wear it to school. Kids can't afford shoes like that anymore because the recession but to me, I think this is my best looking shoe I've had out.
Have you worked out in them yet?
Rose: I work out in them every day.
Will you be playing in those?
Rose: I will be playing in these if there is a season, hopefully.
CK: Are you going to do like last season and also have a second half of the season shoe with it looking like a shortened season already?
Rose: It is. I can't say anything about it. I have it but I can't say anything about it.
Last year, you spent a lot of the summer with Russell Westbrook and Kevin Love in California and you came back with an improved three-point shot. What's your point of emphasis this summer in your game?
Rose: Right now, it's posting up, working on my post game. (I'm) just sharpening up on things like my shooting, dribbling and all of that stuff. I'm just trying to get better as a player. Get smarter; I definitely want my basketball IQ to get better but it comes along with just playing the game.
Are you going to be playing in any of the charity all-star games coming up?
Rose: You know I don't like all-star games. I don't like pickup games. I think that's when people look at your game. I just don't like it to tell you the truth.
How disappointed are you with what's happened in the last week (with the labor talks) and not getting a deal done?
Rose: It's sad. It's very sad but everyone knows it's not (the players) fault. If it was up to us, we'll be out there playing but I think that's its wrong. I know that (the owners) could easily take care of it and not take advantage of people but I guess that's just how people are.
Given the historic season that you're coming off of, it has to be incredibly frustrating.
Rose: If anything, I think it hurts the people in our class. Me, Westbrook, K. Love and everyone else. It definitely is going to hurt us more than anyone else. It's not too much we can say where (the owners) aren't thinking about anything (the players) are saying. They're not taking into consideration nothing we're trying to give them. We'll just have to see how it goes.
Who are you in contact with as far as keeping in touch with everything that's going on with the labor talks and have you been keeping up with what's going on?
Rose: A little bit but I been so busy. I haven't had time to go into the news or anything but my agents; Arn (Tellem) and BJ (Armstrong) do a great job at giving me updates. I'm supposed to be talking to D. Fish in the next couple of days or Paul Pierce. We'll see how it goes from there.
Have you kept in touch with your teammates?
Rose: Joakim (Noah) is out there in LA right now. I worked out with him for two days before I came out here. He's out there focusing and just working out. Booz (Carlos Boozer) is in Miami, Lu (Luol Deng) is back here, Keith (Bogans) is in Orlando, C.J. (Watson) is in Vegas right now so, I talk to them here and there.
Do you feel responsible to get the guys together at some point when you know what the future is going to be?
Rose: We really don't know right now. Right now, we have guys that are on vacation, with their families so it's just up in the air to see what people are going to do.
It's been a rite of passage for superstars to be a part of Team USA. How important is that for you to be one of the faces of 2012?
Rose: It definitely would be big but it's not up to me. It's up to Coach K and the coaching staff to see who they're going to pick for the team. I would love to play for the team. I would love to be just to be part of the experience but it's not up to me to make that decision.
You didn't have any real time to enjoy the MVP because it was the Miami Heat series and then the lockout.
Rose: The biggest thing, you just want to get back out there and play. Like I said, it's going to hurt us but I think it's going to hurt basketball, period. We had a great year, last year and for us not to have a season this year or taking this long to come up with a deal; I think that it's wrong.
I noticed your shoes say "All Flights Cancelled." Are you trying to send a message to anyone?
Rose: adidas just asked me a whole bunch of questions. They sat me down for an hour, two hours and just picked my brain and asked me a million questions. They just came up with the idea where the thought was all the flights are cancelled, Los Angeles, Miami, Boston, Denver, Charlotte, Oklahoma and New York but (Chicago) is cleared for takeoff.
How does it feel to have the biggest shoe launch in Chicago since Jordan?
Rose: It feels good. I'm very blessed. For at least one of you (reporters and writers) to be here but for all of you to come and all of these people to come and just follow everything that I been posting on Facebook; it's just been a blessing to have this outcome.
Is it cool to see real fans out there? There's actually kids out there. It's not just people just trying to get an autograph.
It's crazy. Words can't explain how I feel right now. How emotional this is. I'm from here and I've been seeing people I went to grammar school with showing support. It means a lot to me.
CK: How close are you and adidas on completion of your logo?
Rose: This is my logo. [Takes off his hat and points to the rose-styled emblem adorning the front]. It has a "D" in there, a "1" and every little petal is my mom and my brothers. My mom is in the middle and my brothers are around here and they made it look like a D, a 1 and a Rose. This is my new logo.
Were you a fan of the NBA shoes when you were young or were they kind of out of reach?
Rose: Out of reach. I had L.A. Gear's, the ones that light up. You couldn't hide nowhere. If you wanted to play "IT," you have to take them off so people wouldn't find you. I had those and other shoes like that.
If the lockout continues, is Europe still an option?
Rose: I would take it into consideration but I'm not thinking about it right now. I'm trying to stay positive and hoping that there is going to be a regular season.
What do you think it's going to take to settle the lockout?
Rose: People need to stop being greedy.
Q&A with Derrick's brother, Reggie Rose:
CK: How confident do you think Derrick is now with having his own line and giving feedback on what he wants and the things he's looking for in terms of not only footwear but product also?
Reggie Rose: I don't think it's confidence, I just think that he's just so happy to have his own shoe. It's like a dream come true. At first, when he signed with adidas; after being the number one pick, the first thing a kid thinks is 'I want my own shoe.' In his contract they said if you do this, you can get your own shoe so he did that and adidas lived up to the contract and they said it's time for your shoe so I think he's just more happy than anything about his shoe.
Are you guys going to just go back to Los Angeles and be based there while waiting on a decision with the labor talks?
Reggie: We're flying back out to LA, then we're going to leave on the 23rd to go to Honolulu and Guam for Hoops for Troops. It's the US World Tour. Everybody now that's playing in these games is playing for money, we're going to play these games to give back to the troops because if it weren't for them, we wouldn't be able to play these games.
What other players are a part of that?
Reggie: It's DJ Augustine, Tyreke Evans, LaMarcus Aldridge, Al Horford and I think Mike Miller is joining the tour also.
With all the stars playing in the charity games, has that been something that's gotten Derrick's attention?
Reggie: Actually, when he was younger and you had the Pro-Ams; I never allowed him to play street basketball. That's something that has stuck with him. Back then, he wasn't making money and now he's making money and the magnitude of him getting hurt; I just think it could be a dumb move on his part. He never even had the urge to sneak out there and play. He's more like, 'If I play, I want to play for real.'

Hello, I am a FTM and am trying for a natural birth. Only thing is is that the hospital where I am delivering at has no bath tubs at all:(Ā Only showers. Whenever I feel sick or in pain, bath always help me ,so I am really upset that I will not have this option. I plan on getting tennis balls for massage ,heating pad ,rice sock , aromatherapy oil from Young Living etc. having a picture for focus....is there anything else I should be doing? And has anyone used Young Living oils before for labor? If so ,what scents did you find most helpful?
No tub need suggestions

I learned in birthing class u can use jus warm water like in the shower and aim it towards your lower back. If your water breaks they don't recommend you getting into a tub anyways. Also squatting opens up your pelvis also and make sure you stay active so that the baby moves down. I'm a nurse, and i word 3 12hr shifts a week, so my baby stays low to the point I have to wear a back support brace to keep pressure off my pelvis and back. But you will do just fine girl!!! Congrats!!

I would love to have the option of a birthing tub too, but my hospital doesn't have them.┬Ā However, it has been suggested to me that I'll be able to take my yoga ball into the showers and hang out there with the water hitting┬Āme, which sounds good and also easier to get up from.┬Ā (I LOVE baths, though.)┬Ā
I heard that the showers at the hospital where I'll be delivering are big enough to have a ball in.┬Ā You might want to see if your room's shower would be that big and consider it.┬Ā
This just made me think -- I should put a shower cap on my hospital bag list!┬Ā

An iridescent-white picture window overlooks lively Itaim Bibi neighborhood, known as an upscale business and residential district opposite of Faria Lima --Sao Paulo's version of Wall Street. Behind its glowing white facade, the space is divided into three galleries, designed by three-different Brazilian designers, promising a "fashion, music and gourmet experience." Extravagant-lounge areas feature glittery curtains and crystal chandeliers above cozy sofas and oversized chairs in a mosaic of bold patterns. The dining room features rectangular and large-circular Brazilian-wood tables that seat 8-10 people amply, but leave two-tops in lonely corners of the restaurant. The Brazilians on-hand are a social-sort, creating a loud and lively environment while trying to be heard over the heavy-lounge music from rotating DJs.
The Food
Given the large Italian and Japanese-communities living in Sao Paulo, it should be no surprise to see the menu serving Asian-Italian cuisine that is almost as long as the Sao Paulo phonebook. This is not the typical-sushi menu one would expect, instead offering appetizers like salmon and beef carpaccio (with crunchy basil and capers), foie gras tartare (served with tuna) and Italian polenta served with veal-ragu and fresh peas. Main course is divided between pasta and meat or fish dishes â€" including a decadent lobster risotto with black truffles and less-impressive ravioli with simple mozzarella stuffing. Uruguayan lamb chops are served with lemon risotto and porcini mushrooms while the yellow fish fillet is topped off with a dollop of caviar and very-braised endives. The comprehensive dessert menu varies between key-lime pie and brownie alamode to a crunchy chocolate-mousse and caramelized-apple tart served with ice cream.
Last Word
A consistently sexy crowd of fashion and business elite spends a Sao Paulo night feasting on gourmet cuisine in a delightful design space with nightlife vibe.

A Jabber login happens on either port 5223 or port 5222 depending if SSL is being done or not.
Googletalk uses port 5223 as it normally use SSL to connect.
If the server is dropped (or drops you) then iChat or Messages needs that connection reset.
In most cases this can be done by unticking the "Enable the Account" box in the Account info tab (App Menu > Preferences > Accounts).
I have found you can change the port to the Google (talk) server to 443 and it will be accepted.
you have to change this whilst logged out.
I find this does not seem to drop the connection as frequently as the regular port.
For other Jabber servers it can be more difficult to find a port that works.
Most do not allow a Non SSL login (Port 5222).
It can be trial and error to see if they will accept a port such as 443 in place of port 5223.
(443 is used for Secure site Web Browser logins like Banks and the Login process here at Apple Support Communities and also by some mail servers)

About this Business

From Our Editors
Lesleyanne, the therapist behind 8th Chakra Massage & Body Works, relieves stress by using nine different massage techniques on clients as they rest on a plush table. She begins by slathering backs with oils, lotions, and powders, so her hands can efficiently glide across knots and adhesions. She also tailors her approach to each client's needs by blending modalities such as hot stone, deep-tissue, shiatsu, lomilomi, reflexology, craniosacral work, and trigger-point therapy.
By tweaking each muscle-mending session, Lesleyanne can ease the stiffness that develops in muscles due to inactivity, stress, inconsistent sleep patterns, and living inside a dollhouse. Recipients of massage often cite benefits such as decreased recovery time after injury and reduced depression.

The Great Secret: With God "Nothing" Is Not Possible
I am a less elegant writer than Merton. When my kids were young, I described all of this to my children this way: "When we are created, the Creator puts a bit of himself in us -- the Divine Spark -- think of one of those cartoons where the sun spits a ray of light somewhere. Imagine God spitting his light into us, ptooooie! For our whole lives, we have that inside us, and since it is the part of us that belongs to God, is made from God, we long all our lives to find our way back to God, to be reunited -- to be whole. We are like plugs looking for the main outlet to which we can attach ourselves, forever."
A lot of people have issues with Mary, and with Mariology in general, and with the doctrines of her Immaculate Conception and her Perpetual Virginity. I'm not here to debate it; as Bernadette Soubirous -- the visionary of Lourdes who, in a small way, validated the dogma -- once said to her inquisitors, "my job is not to convince, only to inform."
I'm simply inviting you to hold on -- if only for Advent -- to this idea of "something from nothing," and consider that (as the angel said) "with God, nothing is impossible."
If the moving atoms of the world cease to move, we cease to be -- talk about "something" from "nothing" and the world of illusions!
When I think of all of this -- how the whole theme of "something from nothing" permeates the world and our lives -- then I wonder . . . how is it that people of faith can find so much about which to be contentious? For the God who created "something from nothing," immaculate conceptions and virgin births are cakewalks! So, for that matter, is the changing of humble bread and wine into the Body and Blood of the One who said, "my Flesh is real food, my Blood is real drink . . . "
"With God, nothing is impossible . . ." That's true. But also, perhaps, "With God . . . 'nothing' is literally 'not possible.'"
With God, there is no nothing, for even "nothing" is filled with Intention. And intention . . . assents. And assent . . . brings forth. It creates. And in every assent we utter, every stitch we knit, every empty bowl we fill, every lonely life we consent to touch, every hateful remark we respond to with love, we create something where there was nothing. With our every "yes," we assist in creation, with the continuation of the world. We work with the Creator, for whom no need is too small, for whom love knows no limits.
It is the great secret.

Zero Gravity Windscreens
Zero Gravity has released its Corsa Series windscreen for the popular 2005-2006 Honda CBR 600RR.
The Corsa Series, made here in the USA, joins the SR Series (p/n 20-406), Double Bubble Series (p/n 16-406), and Sport Touring (p/n 23-406) to round out the lineup of screens already offered by Zero Gravity® for the CBR 600RR.
Suzuki GSXR Windscreen
Zero Gravity has released four windscreen variations for the 2011 Suzuki GSX-R 750 and the Suzuki GSX-R 600
Aero Gravity says the SR Series (20-114), which approximates the size and shape of the OEM windscreen, adds flare to the bike's look in Smoke or additional clarity over stock when ordered in clear.
Kawasaki ZX-10R
Made here in the USA, Zero Gravity's new lineup of 2011 Kawasaki ZX-10R windscreens is now available in four distinctive shapes.

Zero Gravity Daytona 675
Fleet, shark-like, and surprisingly compact, the standard-issue Triumph Daytona 675 yields more-from-less through a torquey triple and relatively low mass-but how do you trim more fat from an already-lean thoroughbred?
1983 Superbike Champ
Motorcycle racing is a brutal affair, in both the physical dangers and the elusiveness of success for its competitors. Victory and fame are dependent on the merging of raw talent, discipline, opportunity, will, and desire–not to mention capable machinery and ample luck. Among the myriad names inked into the annals of this most ephemeral of professions there are but a relative handful that have earned the status of legend. When a racer continues to garner respect and reverence years after their reign is over it is a testament of true greatness.
Taller Bubble
Zero Gravity has just introduced their newest evolution in performance windscreens. The unique Corsa Series screens were designed by Zero Gravity from the ground up in collaboration with professional racers from around the world. This once "Racer Only" windscreen is now available to all riders through your favorite Zero Gravity dealer. Corsa Series screens feature a taller bubble that allows even larger riders more wind protection when tucked in at speed. Corsa Series windscreens are pre-drilled to factory specs and can be used with O.E.M.
Zero Gravity windscreens should be maintained using superior plastic cleaners like Kleenmaster Brillianize, Plexus®, and Novus No.2 for it's optimum crystal clarity. Kleenmaster Brillianize is used by the Zero Gravity production line to prep every Zero Gravity windscreen.
Zero Gravity® announces the release of its new line of 2009 Suzuki GSXR-1000 motorcycle windscreens including the stock replacement SR Series which approximates the size and shape of the OEM windscreen. The Double Bubble, is Zero Gravity's version of the now popular "stepped profile" design pioneered by Zero Gravity Motorcycle Racing in the mid-90's.

The app does not sync messages that you send from other Facebook messangers such as the official app or the website. It also has ads, and is not as well designed visually as the official app - a nicer design could have been achieved whilst still meeting the low power use criteria.

Including profits and losses from the Superannuation fund in the operating deficit distorts the underlying performance and it doesn't seem valid to do so when the government doesn't use the Super fund to fund its expenditure.
The government's operating deficit was wider than forecast in the first four months of the financial year as the Crown clipped a smaller tax take on consumer spending and wages.
The operating balance before gains and losses (obegal) was a deficit of $2.87 billion in the four months ended October 31, $169 million, or 6.3%, bigger than forecast in the May Budget.
Core tax revenue was 1.6% short of expectations at $17.92 billion, with GST and source deductions from weak private consumption and tepid wage growth the biggest drag on the accounts.
The tax take from GST accruals was 4.9% short of forecast at $8.13 billion in the four-month period, while source deductions missed expectations by 2.6% at $7.16 billion.
Treasury officials say they expect the weakness in both revenue streams to continue through the year.
The total corporate tax take was 1.5% below forecast at $2.41 billion after a smaller return from non-resident withholding tax.
Core Crown spending was 1.5% below forecast at $22.95 billion, with delays in health expenditure and less spent on welfare for fewer beneficiaries.
The under-spends were offset by higher than forecast expenditure on earthquake expenses from land zoning decisions, and the government has lifted its Christchurch red zone provision by $234 million to $1.17 billion.
Including gains from the New Zealand Superannuation Fund and Accident Compensation Corp's investment portfolio, the Crown's operating deficit was $34 million in the period, a 98% improvement on the forecast shortfall of $1.96 billion.
Net government debt was near expectations at $55.47 billion, or 27.1% of gross domestic product.

Mark Shuttleworth Resigns as Canonical CEO
Mark Shuttleworth, founder of Ubuntu and CEO of Canonical has announced the transfer of his post to Canonical COO Jane Silber.
Shuttleworth intends to concentrate his energy on product design, partnerships, customer contact and relationship building. The current CEO reported in his blog that these are the areas he thrives most in. Furthermore, these are points where he can use his abilities and influence most effectively. Shuttleworth intends to transfer the reigns to Jane Silber, who has been a trusted colleague of his since the beginning (more or less), in the year 2004, at Canonical. Silber is the chief operating officer and also lead the Ubuntu One project. Due to her change of positions, the post of COO and leadership of Ubuntu One will be open and the new occupant will take on both duties.
Mark Shuttleworth considers his commitment to Ubuntu very high: "I am more committed now than I have ever been." His positions at the Ubuntu Community Council and in the Ubuntu Technical Board will not be affected by his change of position at Canonical. Shuttleworth and Silber answered questions in an interview regarding the switch.

Turning to the calls side of the option chain, the call contract at the $93.00 strike price has a current bid of $1.84. If an investor was to purchase shares of CAT stock at the current price level of $92.48/share, and then sell-to-open that call contract as a "covered call," they are committing to sell the stock at $93.00. Considering the call seller will also collect the premium, that would drive a total return (excluding dividends, if any) of 2.55% if the stock gets called away at the February 14th expiration (before broker commissions). Of course, a lot of upside could potentially be left on the table if CAT shares really soar, which is why looking at the trailing twelve month trading history for Caterpillar Inc., as well as studying the business fundamentals becomes important. Below is a chart showing CAT's trailing twelve month trading history, with the $93.00 strike highlighted in red:

Fitness Entrepreneur
Win big with your staff and clients by running your business as a tribe.
We all want to belong to something. We all want to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. A group. A club. An association.To reach our highest potential, we need to go beyond thinking of our "customer base" and our "employees" and start thinking of our tribe. You may have a group of clients or a number of employees, but that is not a tribe. In a tribe, people feel a deep affiliation with— and take pride in—your fitness business.

d. Scientific observations indicate that global climate has changed in the past, is changing now, and will change in the future. The magnitude and direction of this change is not the same at all locations on Earth.
In this activity students work with data to analyze local and global temperature anomaly data to look for warming trends. The activity focuses on the Great Lakes area.
This video features research conducted at University of Colorado's Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research, which studies isotopes of hydrogen trapped in ice cores to understand climate changes in the past.
In this activity, students examine pictures of pollen grains representing several species that show the structural differences that scientists use for identification. Students analyze model soil samples with material mixed in to represent pollen grains. They then determine the type and amount of 'pollen' in the samples and, using information provided to them, determine the type of vegetation and age of their samples. Finally, they make some conclusions about the likely climate at the time the pollen was shed.
This is a lab about evidence for past climate change as captured in ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica. Students investigate climate changes going back thousands of years by graphing and analyzing ice core data from both Greenland and Antarctica. They use information about natural and human-caused changes in the atmosphere to formulate predictions about Earth's climate.
In this activity, students critically evaluate the arguments about climate change raised in a climate contrarian newspaper op-ed. This exercise is intended to strengthen student critical thinking and content knowledge at the end of unit on the climate system.
This three-panel figure is an infographic showing how carbon and oxygen isotope ratios, temperature, and carbonate sediments have changed during the Palaeocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum. The figure caption provides sources to scientific articles from which this data was derived. A graphic visualization from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change shows the rapid decrease in carbon isotope ratios that is indicative of a large increase in the atmospheric greenhouse gases CO2 and CH4, which was coincident with approximately 5C of global warming.
This is the first of nine lessons in the "Visualizing and Understanding the Science of Climate Change" website. This lesson is an introduction to Earth's climate and covers key principles regarding Earth's unique climate, atmosphere, and regional and temporal climate differences.
For this lesson, the guiding Concept Question is: What is climate change and how does climate relate to greenhouse gas concentrations over time? This activity is the second lesson in a nine-lesson module 'Visualizing and Understanding the Science of Climate Change' produced by the International Year of Chemistry project (2011).
In this lesson, students examine and interpret varied observational datasets and are asked to determine whether the data supports or does not support the statement: climate change is occurring in Colorado.
