The poor guy doesn't remember what he said a week ago. Egomaniacs seldom compromise when they rule the world in their own feeble mind....
It will have to be compromise in the end- Don't forget Obama won the majority in the election- he should get a bit more of his agenda than the loosing party; thats what majority of the vote is supposed to mean.
Due to all the political crap that has nothing to do with Microsoft as a stock, it has been a while since I have been on Yahoo Finance. Looks like nothing changed. COME ON MAN, move to a political board.
Sentiment: Buy
"he said he was going to compromise" Has the process finished yet?
Can't seem to get an answer, hawr hawr
"he said he was going to compromise" Has the process finished yet?
"Egomaniacs seldom compromise." You do know that's the tea party, right there?
"They rule the world in their own feeble mind...." Again perfect description of you and the tea party. You can't even accept democracy, accept election outcomes, yet talk like you are for it. Talk is cheap. Put country over party.
Sentiment: Strong Buy

Steve Lukather: Birds of Fire
Birds of Fire
Steve Lukather (guitar)
Visions of an Inner Mounting Apocalypse (Tone Center TC 40401)
Steve Lukather (guitar), Mitchel Forman (keyboards), Vinnie Colaiuta (drums),
Jeff Richman (guitar), Kai Eckhardt (bass).
Composed by John McLaughlin.
Recorded: Granada Hills, CA, 2005
Rating: 90/100 (learn more)
Guitarist Steve Lukather is best known for his time playing in the rock supergroup Toto, which sold millions of records and performed in front of many more fans. Songs such as "Rosanna" and "Africa" became rock anthems. To this day, though the band has gone through many incarnations, it still tours around the world under Lukather's direction. He refuses to be called Toto's leader because he took over the mantle after the death of one of the band's cofounders, Jeff Porcaro.
What few people know, however, is that Steve was an early fusion player. In high school he had a band that played Mahavishnu Orchestra music at school dances. This did not go over well because most people didn't know how to dance to the odd-metered Mahavishnu music.
Thirty years later, producer Jeff Richman gave Lukather a chance to pay respect to John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra by inviting him to play "Birds of Fire" on Visions of an Inner Mounting Apocalypse, a tribute album to McLaughlin and Mahavishnu.
Lukather doesn't pussyfoot around. He gets right to the task at hand and successfully handles the chores on Richman's interesting arrangement. His solo is a bit more processed than McLaughlin's in the original, and he uses a whammy bar for some extra oomph. Colaiuta solos over some chopped-off chord changes. Forman's synth solo is much farther out than Jan Hammer's. We can chalk that one up to technology. The band gets funky to take things out as Lukather starts his guitar to screeching. This is well-honed fusion, which means it isn't actually too clean. True fusion fans will understand the meaning in the previous sentence.

Larry Johnson's Homophobic Twitter Logic Is Not Bulletproof
The former Knick is "uncomfortable" with Jason Collins, but not immune to learning.
Amid tons of support around the league for NBA player Jason Collins's coming out, former New York Knicks star Larry Johnson is gunning for captain of the retro team. Joining pro golfer Bubba Watson and ESPN's Chris Broussard in espousing backwards views on homosexuality, Johnson, who currently works as a basketball and business operations representative for the Knicks, went with the time-worn "gays in the locker room" defense of his veiled homophobia, declaring that the idea makes him "uncomfortable." Eventually, however, he did have a minor breakthrough thanks to the magic of social media.
It got off to an ugly start last night:
I don't Jason Collins personally but he seems like a great guy. Me personally gay men in the locked room would make me uncomfortable .— Larry Johnson (@TheRealLJ2) April 29, 2013
And then Johnson started to engage, while sticking to his guns:
@runninrebe1 thx you for your comment SIR, homosexuality is nothing to fear,I don't think it belongs in a mans locker room— Larry Johnson (@TheRealLJ2) April 30, 2013
Which led to his most ridiculous point:
@runninrebe1 I'm attracted to women,is it ok for me to walk around a women's locker room naked, and they be naked.— Larry Johnson (@TheRealLJ2) April 30, 2013
And then some backtracking:
Ppl ! this is nothing against Jason or homosexual's,all I'm saying is this don't belong in a man's locker room.— Larry Johnson (@TheRealLJ2) April 30, 2013
I don't judge anyone!! I have fallen shortof the grace of Allah myself, but stop trying to make this acceptable.— Larry Johnson (@TheRealLJ2) April 30, 2013
"@russdzl: @thereallj2 LJ I respect your opinion but gay guys ain't looking for straight guys just saying."good point.— Larry Johnson (@TheRealLJ2) April 30, 2013
It's a start?

As the two ships drew near to one another, Barney kept his gunports closed and his guncrews hidden hoping to convince the British captain that he intended only to present a moving target to screen his fleeing convoy and buy them time to escape. Rogers took the bait and, heading straight for the Hyder-Ally , was bow on to the American in a classic "crossing the T" situation when Barney opened his gunports and fired a broadside of round shot, grape, and canister. The barrage found its mark, damaging the main mast and shredding many of the General Monk 's sails. The two ships began exchanging broadsides, a tactic that put the Hyder-Ally at a disadvantage because of the enemy's heavier firepower, so Barney decided that boarding the enemy was his best bet. Closing the distance, he quietly told his helmsman to "follow my next order by the rule of the contrary." When the ships were very close, he yelled to the helmsman, "Hard a-port your helm." As Barney hoped, Rogers heard the order and immediately ordered the General Monk to come "hard a-port" as well, so that the two vessels would pass close aboard but not make contact. To his astonishment, the Hyder-Ally came right instead, and in seconds the two ships collided and were locked in a deadly embrace. Savage hand-to-hand fighting ensued. As Barney climbed atop the binnacle box to direct the action, a musket ball passed through his hat, leaving a minor scalp wound in its wake, and another passed through the tail of his coat, evoking a less-than-polite curse from the young captain. The binnacle box was soon shot out from under him, but Barney was not injured.
After 26 minutes, the brawl was over, with the more powerful British ship in American hands. The victor had suffered 4 killed and 11 wounded, while the vanquished had lost 20 killed and 33 wounded. In his 1845 The History of the Navy , James Fenimore Cooper described the victory as "one of the most brilliant . . . under the American flag."

Quoting Lute Olson . . .
What impact will Mustafa Shakur's return have on the new year?
"It's great to have Mustafa back. He's one of the guys that is looked to for leadership. Along with Ivan (Radenovic) and Kirk (Walters), we will have three really solid senior leaders, and it's gotten to the point where it's hard to count on seniors anymore in programs like ours. Having somebody back in Mustafa who has been a starter all the way, and he's been through and learned from difficult situations, I think that's going to be very helpful."
Comment on the progress of sophomore-to-be Marcus Williams:
"With Marcus, he had a great freshman year and has been working very hard in the offseason. I think he's going to have a great year. He made a lot of progress last year, especially on the defensive end, and his shooting became more consistent as the year progresses."
With 11 returning lettermen, do you ever worry about having too many guys coming back?
"Every year we look at that, but every top-level program is going to have some of that problem. You can never count out injuries. For example, heading into last season I would have thought that Jawann (McClellan) was going to be our top scorer and possibly our top rebounder and he ended up playing 45 minutes all year."
"That always seems to work itself out as we go through the workouts. I think it's going to be really helpful to us that we make the foreign trip up to
"I know that we're going to continue to play up tempo. We'll probably even try to play more up-tempo if that's possible. In those first 10 practices, we'll get a chance to see how some guys respond to the pressure of day-to-day competition. When that happens, some guys step it up and others are adversely affected."
Ivan Radenovic was one of your best players over the last half of last year. What makes him so successful?
"He's made great progress ever since he got here. I think people are going to be totally surprised at how much he's improved over the summer. He's one of the hardest-working guys we've ever had here. He's self driven. Some guys work hard in practice, but when the offseason rolls around, they take a vacation. Ivan probably spends more time on his basketball now than he does during the season."
"He's become one of our best shooters. He'll probably be our rebounding leader. He's got his weight up and it's all muscle. He came in at mid-season during his freshman season. I don't know of anyone who has improved as much as he has in two and a half years."
You have a nice group of incoming freshmen. What are the expectations of that trio?
"I'm anxious to see them on the floor with other good players. They should have an immediate effect on our team. They will make things interesting. I'm interested to see them when we get to practice situations."

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $m\subseteq R$ be a maximal ideal. Can you describe the set of prime ideals of the $R/m^2$. Are they all maximal ?

$m/m^2$ is a maximal ideal of $R/m^2$, and it is nilpotent; it is therefore the nilradical, and being prime, is the only prime ideal of $R/m^2$.
Prime $\rm\ P = I + m^2\supset m^2\ \Rightarrow\ P\supset m\ \Rightarrow\ P = m\ $ since $\rm\ m\ $ is maximal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CarolSue Awesome customer service! I ordered several items at one time. Everything arrived as expected except one baking sheet was dented. I contacted the customer service department and asked if I could return it to my closest store, or how could I exchange it. I received an email letting me know they would send me a new one without returning the damaged one at no charge to me. Thank you for the great customer service, I thoroughly enjoy all the items I purchased. January 29, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by HEMM Amazing baking sheet! I bought this baking sheet on sale for around $4 and I wish I would have bought way more, the quality of the pan is more than I ever expected for $4. It really is non-stick and it's a great size. Has a bit of weight to it which is nice. I would definitely recommend this sheet! November 3, 2014

Rated 4 out of 5 by Rick K. I like it! Dark metal, right weight (for light sheets are bad)... distributes the heat well. This is a fairly versatile sheet and the size is oven friendly. I might buy a second one pretty soon. Baking cookies, and roll cakes are not a problem for this sheet. October 19, 2010
Rated 2 out of 5 by BonzoGold Slightly too big for my oven This cookie pan is sturdy and nice but the handles protrude by a little bit which wouldn't allow my oven to close all the way. March 20, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by rednrowlett Too large for my wall oven..... Disappointed that I did not carefully look at the dimensions for these cookie sheets. Commercial grade description should probably include: "commercial range/oven size" next to it. Quality great, just can't fit in my oven due to the extra molded handles. Guess they will be going under my house plants. November 2, 2013

Scott Disick's father, Jeffrey Disick, has died. On Jan. 5, Radar Online confirmed the devastating news, adding that Jeffrey died last week, less than three months after Scott's mother, Bonnie, died. Disick has not released a statement of any kind and there has not been any word on how Jeffrey died.
Disick's mother passed away after battling an unknown illness for the past few years. Disick was said to be extremely close to his parents who lived in New York where he was raised. Disick was an only child. His parents didn't spend a ton of time with him and his family because they lived on the east coast, but their relationship was strong nonetheless.
Scott Disick hasn't tweeted since his father died -- there has not been any activity on his social media accounts since New Year's Eve. He didn't make mention of his mother's death and it's presumed that this won't be any different.

College Hockey:Rowney scores two to help North Dakota beat Denver
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — Giving up two goals on a major power play might derail some teams, but not North Dakota Saturday night.
Carter Rowney had two goals for North Dakota (8-5-3, 5-2-3 Western Collegiate Hockey Association), but it was a story of UND bending, not breaking, in a 6-3 victory over No. 6 Denver (9-5-2, 7-3-2 WCHA) in front of 11,899 at Ralph Engelstad Arena Friday night.
A Dan Senkbeil checking-from-behind major torpedoed nearly all of UND's three-goal margin in the second period of this emotional Saturday night WCHA affair, but despite giving up back-to-back goals just 17 seconds apart, UND didn't allow the Pioneers to complete a comeback. Instead, No. 9 North Dakota strung together a commanding final 20 minutes to capture the victory.
"Obviously that was a little bit of a bending for us, but we didn't break," said Grimaldi, named the game's first star thanks to his first period goal and three assists. "Those guys in the locker room, we stick together through thick and thin."
UND wanted to start better than it did Friday night, but Denver got on the board early when Grant Arnold intercepted an ill-advised pass from Joe Gleason. Arnold scooted around Clarke Saunders (20 saves) for his first career goal at 1:25, putting UND on its heels early.
UND's second line, however, helped the offense storm forward for a 4-1 lead. Grimaldi made it 1-1 off a faceoff point shot at 17:10 of the first, and 5:57 into the second, Derek Forbort tapped in an easy rebound past Sam Brittain (27 saves) to put North Dakota ahead.
It was a start that Dave Hakstol nevertheless called better than the Friday night start that Hakstol pointed to as the culprit for not pulling out a victory.
"[Giving up the early goal]'s not a very good way to start," Hakstol said. "Obviously, that puts everybody back on their heels; it takes the energy out of the building. But we recovered from that. We had a decent first period, and we just moved forward from there."
The Grimaldi-to-Rowney connection struck twice eight minutes apart to stretch the lead to 4-1. Rowney finished off a long rebound on a short-handed two-on-one with Grimaldi at 7:21, then tipped in a Grimaldi centering pass later at 15:29.
Rowney was able to quench his recent scoring drought thanks to a five-point weekend, punctuating that with his fifth career two-goal performance.
The line of Rowney, Grimaldi and freshman Drake Caggiula finished with three goals and seven assists and a combined plus-5.
"Those guys, they've shown good chemistry in practice and in games over the past couple weeks," Hakstol said. "Tonight, they got it over the top where they had some payoffs on a consistent basis. I thought they were good in all three zones, and obviously offensive production was very important for us."
"All of a sudden, things are clicking and hopefully that's going to continue for the rest of the year here," said Grimaldi.
Senkbeil's checking-from-behind penalty 10 seconds later took all the wind out of UND's sails, however. Denver took big advantage of the ensuing major, with goals from Ty Loney and Joey LaLeggia coming 17 seconds apart to make things quite interesting.
"That was a big momentum booster for us to get those goals," LaLeggia said. "Our power play hasn't been great lately, so it was really big to get those two for us."
But Denver couldn't find the equalizer, instead faltering at the hands of UND and a never-say-die mentality it showed coming out of the third period gates.
Danny Kristo added some cushion with a top-corner goal from the point at 16:53, and Corban Knight added an empty-net goal with one minute remaining to seal the victory.
The loss pushes Denver's winless streak to six, and while the Pioneers haven't been swept in a weekend yet, they know there's much room for improvement. They now lead Minnesota in the WCHA by just one point.
"All you can do during these times is keep working hard and keep trying to simplify the game," LaLeggia said.
For North Dakota, keeping the train rolling is the key as it heads into the final two games of 2012 next weekend in Houghton, Mich.
"Obviously, we didn't get the full result we wanted, but we got a pretty good piece of the pie there," Grimaldi said. "We're looking to go to (Michigan) Tech next week and hopefully get four points and move into Christmas with the chip off our shoulder."

Multimedia, Mathematics & Machine Learning II (09w5056)
Jeffrey Bloom (Dialogic Research Inc.)
Li Deng (Microsoft Research)
Rabab Ward (University of British Columbia)
Following the success of the Workshop of Multimedia and mathematics (Meeting I) during July 23-28, 2005, Meeting II of the workshop, as proposed here, is intended to bring together the earlier participants plus some new prominent researchers, with the expanded theme to include machine learning. The purpose is to push the state of the art in multimedia processing techniques and multimedia technologies by exploring modern mathematical, pattern recognition, and machine learning methods that have cross-media generality. In particular, we will bring prominent researchers as well as tutorial lecturers with rich working/research experiences in one or more media types to share their experiences on the commonalities and differences in the mathematical and machine learning techniques for processing different types of media contents.
Multimedia technologies represent rich applications and interactions among a variety of information sources including audio/music, speech, image/graphics/animation, video, and text/documents/language. They also span a wide range of information processing tasks including coding/compression, analysis, communication/networking/security, synthesis, user interface, perception/recognition/understanding, and retrieval/mining. Future multimedia technology development will require an increasing level of intelligence, for which mathematical representation, modeling, and learning will play an increasingly important role. As machine learning provides a rich set of practical algorithms derived from rigorous mathematical analysis, it is thus important to include it as a principal element in the workshop's theme.
We can use a matrix to organize the landscape of a multitude of multimedia research areas. Each row in the matrix represents one information processing task across all media types, and each column in the matrix represents all processing tasks for each media type. An entry in the matrix thus gives a specific area in multimedia research. Many researchers tend to work on isolated research areas represented in the matrix. With modern machine learning techniques, it becomes timely to take a global and possibly unifying view on the previously disparate techniques applied to isolated research areas in multimedia processing. We believe this is a fruitful way of pushing the state of the art. To accomplish this goal, one necessary step for the community is to understand the similarities and the differences of the successful processing and analysis techniques across the various media types. This is another specific goal of the proposed Workshop Meeting II.
Looking back to Meeting I of the workshop conducted in 2005, we are glad to learn from the feedback of the participants, that it provided them with a timely cross-disciplinary bridge between the relatively new field of multimedia and the well-established disciplines of mathematics. For many researchers working in a specific area of multimedia, the workshop provided an excellent opportunity to broaden their perspective. It was clear from the workshop's high-quality presentations that there are surprisingly similar mathematical approaches applied to speech, audio, image, and video-processing research. The presentations and informal discussions enabled participants to examine the variety of approaches in the different media areas. As an example, one presentation in the workshop on image segmentation generated heated debate among the workshop participants. The need for the intermediate step (segmentation) was highly questioned , given that the final task is semantic image understanding/classification instead of segmentation. The researchers with speech recognition/understanding expertise have found that integrated pattern-recognition approaches that avoid the step of speech segmentation always provide better results than modular processing approaches that involve explicit segmentation. The discussions on such disparities provided much needed information that has generated new interest in cross-media research and exploration. One of the current proposers of the Meeting II Workshop was one of the attendees in Meeting I. At the 2006 IEEE Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing (MMSP2006), it was decided, together with the Technical Committee, to continue such discussions and explorations .A special panel was organized at MMSP2006 on Differences and Similarities of Image/Video and Speech/Audio Processing Techniques, where seven prominent researchers with cross-media research expertise were invited to speak. This special panel turned out to be one most successful part of MMSP2006, with exciting debates and discussions and with the conclusion that researchers working on Image/Video can learn a great deal from those working on Speech/Audio and vice versa. This type of cross-media research interactions would create significant impact on the future of multimedia research, an initiative inspired by the BIRS Meeting-I workshop. The proposed Meeting -II workshop is aimed to push this kind of momentum, with the ultimate goal of creating next-generation multimedia technologies that are intelligent, robust, effective, integrative, and unifying across all media types. To achieve this laudable goal, we believe our community needs a solid underlying mathematical and machine learning foundation, a main theme of the proposed Workshop Meeting II.

If it seemed like there were some tough choices when the New Orleans Saints cut their roster to 75 players on Tuesday, just wait until this weekend.
The Saints will have to find a way to drop 22 of the 75 players currently in camp. Some will ultimately end up on the team's practice squad, but others will be gone for good.
The players listed below aren't necessarily players that will fail to make the 53-man roster or the practice squad, but they haven't helped themselves with a great preseason.
WR Brandon Coleman
At 6-foot-6 and 225 pounds, Coleman has the measurables to be an NFL receiver. But he's showed he still has a lot of learning to do.
Coleman struggled with drops throughout camp. And while he's shown flashes of potential, it hasn't been enough to earn him a spot on the 53-man roster ahead of a veteran.
The Saints could possibly keep six receivers if Kenny Stills is sidelined for an extended period of time. However, Coleman's role would be better served on the practice squad where he can learn for another season.
WR Nick Toon
Nick Toon should make the roster as the fourth or fifth receiver. But his preseason play has only inspired more questions than answers at the moment.
Toon got off to a hot start in camp, and he's had multiple standout practices. That hasn't quite translated to games.
He's certainly gotten a lot of snaps in three preseason games, but has only four catches for 17 yards. Toon was considered to have a bigger role in the offense this summer after spending much of 2013 as the inactive fifth receiver on gamedays.
He hasn't quite yet proven he's up to the challenge.
Preseason doesn't always tell the whole story, but Toon still has work to do to move up the receiver rankings.
T Bryce Harris
Harris will likely make the roster with the Saints short on tackle depth. But Terron Armstead and Zach Strief's immediate backup hasn't inspired great faith lately. Harris has struggled in pass protection throughout camp and still has a bit of work to do to become a quality backup.
Harris, who was an exclusive rights free agent this offseason, signed a one-year deal for the league minimum in the offseason. He's not costing the Saints much, but that also means the Saints would likely search for an upgrade if they don't feel he's cutting it.
However, the Saints are currently short on tackle depth, which likely secures Harris' spot on the roster for the moment.
DB Terrence Frederick
Frederick has a few things going against him. He's been hurt for much of training camp and hasn't had much to put on film after joining the Saints late last season. He's also a victim of a numbers game.
If the Saints keep five cornerbacks as expected, it's likely Keenan Lewis, Corey White, Patrick Robinson, Champ Bailey and Stanley Jean-Baptiste make the roster ahead of him. Brian Dixon and Trevin Wade also are candidates above Frederick because of their standout work on special teams lately.
It looks like it'll be an uphill battle for him to make the roster.
T Tavon Rooks
Rooks was seen as a bit of head scratcher when the Saints took him in the sixth round of the 2014 NFL draft. Even Rooks himself was surprised, noting that he had been told by his agent that he would go undrafted.
Rooks hasn't done much yet to quell those doubters. He began camp on the non-football injury list and hasn't yet made much of an impression in practice or during games.
He's seen almost no snaps in the last two preseason games, playing only one snap on special teams against the Indianapolis Colts. At the moment, Rooks is a likely practice squad member at best.

This is the default defragmentation algorithm for entire drive defragmentation in PerfectDisk. SMARTPlacement is a patented algorithm of Raxco Software and is used for the best placement of files on your disk to minimize refragmentation. Files are organized by their creation and modified dates. The theory is that files that have not changed recently are less likely to change in the future. These older files are grouped together so that once PerfectDisk has SMARTPlaced them, future defragmentation passes are less likely to move them again. This shortens the amount of time needed to keep the drive at peak performance. Also the free space is consolidated next to the newer files since these are more likely to change or be deleted. Consolidating the free space makes the creation of new files contiguous and therefore minimizes refragmentation of your drive.
§ defragments all your files, consolidates free space, and optimizes the drive according to file usage.
§ provides the most complete defragmentation possible, and slows down refragmentation of your drive.
§ may still leave small blocks of free space between files if the PerfectDisk engine determines this would take too much time for a minimal performance gain.

What is the maximum amount of Pasta (in pounds) this pasta cooker can cook at a time? How long is the recovery time before you can cook another batch? What other features does this pasta cooker come with?
Hello, the manual for this product states to use at least one gallon of water per every pound of dry pasta. The cooker has a 12 gallon water capacity, so it should be able to cook a little under 12 pounds of dry pasta. Due to the varying cooking times of different pasta times, we are unable to say what the recovery time is. More information on this product can be found in the Spec Sheet and Operating Manual under the Literature tab for this product. Thank you!

Are your jewelry and high value items protected by your homeowners insurance? The answer is yes and no.
For the sake of illustration, let's focus on jewelry. Although Gilbert AZ was voted one of the safest places to live in AZ, and the 24th safest in the US, it is still important to make sure your high value jewelry items are protected.
Most of your common homeowners insurance policies will replace stolen jewelry up to set amount ranging from $1000 to $2500. This amount is also subject to the selected policy deductible commonly set at $500-$1000. The jewelry coverage on the policy can also be set at agreed value, in which the insurance company will replace the jewelry at a market price instead of the purchase price or appraised value. The lesson here is that you could possibly get a rather skinny check to replace a nice $5000 engagement ring. More advanced policies will allow you to expand the base jewelry coverage to a higher amount and even have a separate deductible for jewelry. Get all the details for there still might be a per item maximum and the settlement is still agreed value.
The best way to protect your valuable jewelry is to obtain an updated appraisal and schedule the jewelry separately on your policy. This will cover the full value of the jewelry in question and it is not subject to the policy deductible. This type of coverage usually covers mysterious disappearance as well, so if you just plain lose the jewelry, you are covered.
Now if you have a large jewelry collection such as a few $20,000 Rolex watches, a standard home policy might have limitations on how much property you can schedule in relation to your overall dwelling coverage (part A coverage). In this case, a PAF (personal articles floater) might be your best bet. With this standalone policy, you are able to schedule a much larger amount of jewelry, and you can also add a deductible to control costs. It is always good practice to obtain a new appraisal, as the values of most precious metals are much higher today than a couple of years ago.
You have heard it said, it is easier to read a book and learn, than gain the knowledge through the school of life. Don't be disappointed by a measly check when your jewelry turns up missing, and at least get a quote on jewelry coverage from your insurance agent or company.

Terrible in War
Join Date

Flax is the classic Warrior Statesman, adept both on the field and in the Senate. He is also a deep thinker, a compassionate man. However he has a naturally violent temper which occasionally erupts.
Kal is the apprentice Jedi, any of his faults are a result of Deac's neglect.
He is generally thoughtful and given to considered action, his brother thinks he is not decisive enough
Mirra Is the ideal noblewoman, kind compassionate, she can play the harp and the flute. She's still very young so she's not as asertive as she might be. She's also more than politically competant, although again because of her age and station its not that evident, yet.
Sophae is politically deadly and and if she hadn't married Flax at 19 she might have been a bit of a man eater. She knows she's gorgeous and she likes to pull men's stings a little from time to time.
Sellenna: She's politically deadly and she didn't marry Flax, or anyone else so she really enjoys wrapping men around her little finger, that said she doesn't exactly have a mile long list of lovers.
Dasken works, fights, does his laundry. He's a carier officer who started out as a pilot, went spook and is now a pilot again. He's not contrained by Jedi morals and he's willing to do what needs to be done. That said he's a good guy.
Allessa she comes from a culture where women are spoiled and being beutiful and marrying a handsome man are the two most impotant things in the universe. For some reason I can't fathom she's head over heals for Halren Flax (He's tall, so what?). She has a good heart but its burried under a fair bit of fluff.
Drago is a fanatically devoted warrior, he drinks, gambles and practices cutting the left wing off flys with his longsword. In PtH he still hasn't got his wife back so he dies of alchohol poisaning at every opertunity. In the Cantina he's concerend with keeping his hugely traumatised wife sane and helping her adapt to the wider galaxy, so he's off the source. He generally has good advice and he'll stay sober until you tell him he has a day off.
Hal, well; He's pretty screwed up in PtH, in the Cantina he's a combination of his two role models, his father and Drago.
Fly Fast,
Shoot Straight,
Live Long!

How many times have you read a relationship advice article and compared it to your relationship? Well, just stop that! If it's not broken, stop trying to fix it. More importantly, stop over-analyzing it. Why put a label on every little thing that goes wrong between the two of you? There's something to be said for just taking it easy and living life one day at a time. You be you. Let your significant other be themselves. Meet in the middle somewhere for a good time. Trust each other. Support each other. Leave it at that.
You can ruin your relationship by over-thinking it. For instance:
"Oh man, he's working late for the third time this week, I bet he's cheating."
(Dude, maybe he's just working late. Maybe he's tired. Give the man a back rub. Let him sleep.)
"But what if he is cheating?"
(Well, if he is cheating, you won't change the situation by driving yourself nuts over it.)
"But he's making me miserable."
(No, you're making yourself miserable. You don't even know if he's actually cheating on you.)
"But what if he is and I don't call him on it? I'll look like a fool!"
(You look like a fool now.)
If you have doubts, don't get yourself all worked up about it.
Just ask him. Don't talk to your friends, talk to your partner. He's the one you're in the relationship with. Talk to him like a friend. He's your best friend, right? So, you can say, "I know this sounds crazy but I'm worried about ____. Should I be worried?" If he says no, trust him. Later on, if you find out you should have been worried, just deal with it. Otherwise, put a smile on your face and be happy you have a relationship. You're only hurting yourself by getting all upset over nothing. Yes, even if you find out your fears were justified. Life is too short to spend it worrying over every little detail.
What if there really is a problem?
Do you know anyone who has a perfect relationship? I sure don't. Are you perfect? I'm definitely not. Don't expect your partner to be perfect. Don't be so quick to kick him to the curb. He puts up with your issues, right? Don't scrap your whole relationship just because he has issues too. We all do. The point of a relationship is to work together, not to judge each other.
But what if he actually is cheating?
Oh boy, here we go again. If you catch him cheating or you can prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that he's cheating, then talk to him about it. Maybe you can work it out. Maybe you can't. But until you actually know something's up, stop beating yourself up about it. Sure, it hurts. Sure, it's unfair. It may even be unjustified. Then again, it could be all in your head. If it is, and you keep tormenting him about it, chances are you won't have a relationship to worry about anyway. Don't try to fix it if it's not broken. You'll do more harm than good.

Richard Nixon & Southern Strategy
Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the 37th President of the United States, serving from 1969 to 1974. The only president to resign the office, Nixon had previously served as a US representative and senator from California and as the 36th Vice President of the United States from 1953 to 1961. In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to the Republican Party strategy of winning elections in Southern states by exploiting anti-African American racism and fears of lawlessness among Southern white voters and appealing to fears of growing federal power in social and economic matters (generally lumped under the concept of states' rights). /5
Richard Nixon Southern Strategy Republican Party Ronald Reagan White House President Obama Civil Rights Kevin Phillips Tea Party Willie Horton Voting Rights Act Jim Crow Civil Rights Act United States Barry Goldwater York Times Civil Rights Acts Lawrence Wilkerson
Joe Scarborough just said he wouldn't attribute the Southern Strategy to Richard Nixon. Why? Because Nixon got more black votes than more recent Republican presidential candidates. Yeah, what I just heard is "Joe Scarborough literally doesn't know what he's talking about."
If you look at the GOP strategy, the "southern strategy" of Richard Nixon in 1968, you see how the GOP capitalized on ignorance.
By Joan Walsh 6:31 p.m. CDT, October 3, 2013 On the day the Affordable Care Act took effect, the U.S. government was shut down, and it may be permanently broken. You'll read lots of explanations for the dysfunction, but the simple truth is this: It's the culmination of 50 years of evolving yet consistent Republican strategy to depict government as the enemy, an oppressor that works primarily as the protector of and provider for African-Americans, to the detriment of everyone else. The fact that everything came apart under our first African-American president wasn't an accident, it was probably inevitable. People talk about the role of race in Richard Nixon's "Southern Strategy": how Pat Buchanan and Kevin Phillips helped him lure the old Dixiecrats into the GOP permanently. Far less well-known was the GOP's "Northern Strategy," which targeted so-called white ethnics — many of them like my working-class family. Without a Northern Strategy designed to inflame white-ethnic fears of racial and economic chan ...
Come now, you know how, Rand. Ah yes, the Republican Party. The party whose candidate, Ronald Reagan, kicked off his campaign with an appeal to "states' rights" in Philadelphia, Mississippi -- a town famous for a single thing, the murder of Civil Rights workers. The party whose candidate, George H. W. Bush, won election with the racist Willie Horton ad. The party that blocked black voters in Florida in 2000 and in Ohio in 2004. The party that proudly flies and defends the Confederate flag. The party that thrives on resentment against Mexican immigrants. The party that campaigns against fictional black "welfare queens" who drive Cadillacs and hands the keys of the U.S. treasury to the corporate CEO welfare queens who arrive in their private jets. The party whose candidate, Richard Nixon, designed a "Southern Strategy" to win the hearts and minds of racist white voters in the South. The party that thinks racism runs in only one direction -- reverse. The party actually dared to suggest in a Tea Party pledge ...
The Southern Strategy was an actual electoral strategy deployed by Richard Nixon, maybe you should read about it b4 dismissing
This philosophically pustulant Nalfeshnee demon, Roger Ailes, was one of the chief architects of Richard Nixon's and the Republican Party's archly Racist "Southern Strategy." That Ailes is credited as anything substantively more than a rabid racist whose aesthetic and ethics ought well be relegated to a historical dungheap of invidiousness is an American shonda.
Is Mitt Romney the Southern Strategy's last hurrah? by David Benjamin "My party is full of racists. And the real reason a considerable portion of my party wants President Obama out of the White House has nothing to do with the content of his character, nothing to do with his competence as Commander in Chief and President, and everything to do with the color of his skin. And that's despicable." — Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell BROOKLYN — Although its practitioners have coyly denied its existence since it was first deployed in the 1968 election, the Southern Strategy has been a Republican political staple for more than 40 years. Seized upon eagerly by GOP candidate Richard Nixon, it mobilized the resentment of working-class whites — especially in Dixie — against the liberating language — especially for African-Americans — of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Notwithstanding four decades of insistence by GOP ...
Robert Kennedy said that George Mcgovern, son of a Methodist minister from South Dakota, was the most decent man in the Senate, maybe the only one. Some wonder, myself included, how different our world would be if he had defeated Richard Nixon, how many thousands of lives may have been saved, perhaps we could have created a Department of Peace. But Nixon was able to create a Southern Strategy and to persuade the American people, still living in the frame set by FDR of "unconditional surrender," that this decorated war hero and former registered Republican wasn't patriotic enough to lead a nation at war. What will they go for next? Just about anything this fake businessman and the billion dollar ad campaign of Karl Rove will throw at them. RIP, George. Thank you for your service.
Multiple Choice Question: Was, "hate to get involved but. yeah. There was something called the Southern Strategy in 1968, where Republicans used racism to get the South to become Republicans. This worked out because Democrats (LBJ, Kennedy, Truman) supported Civil Rights platforms during their presidency. I know it can be confusing, but pretty much people switched sides because of racism," a comment on a youtube video for: a.) The Civil Rights Movement b.) The Silent Majority c.) Ted Nugent "Stranglehold" d.) Richard Nixon's presidency Just rock out people.
"In 1915, legendary racist and cinematic genius D.W. Griffith convinced many that the Confederate South had wrongly lost its freedom and its rights in the Civil War - and was doomed to all manner of mistreatment by the rise of assertive blacks. Rednecks like Jesse Helms and Strom Thurmondstarted off as Democrats but switched to the Republican Party. Like many "Dixiecrats",they were angry with President Lyndon B. Johnson, who turned out to be the greatest Civil Rights legislator since Lincoln. Richard Nixon would use a "Southern Strategy" to play on racial fears on his way to the White House. Bitterness from white southernershas since evolvedinto a so-called dog whistle in far right rhetoric. It plays on the same idea found in Griffiths racist films - you cannot trust blacks in power not to do you in." Stanley Crouch.more to come...'nuff said!
The Republican Party has been fighting a SECRET WAR for the past few years. In the middle east? NO In Asia? NO. It's been fighting an all out war in the USA- against their "Enemies List" of those who threaten their "family values" such as minority races, Blacks,Latinos,Native Americans etc. Now they are jousting at windmills by INSULTING WOMEN, who are the ONLY demographic Majority related to race or gender, because whites are NO LONGER a majority in this country. The" Southern Strategy" begun under Richard Nixon which won elections by stirring up SUSPICION AND HATE among the white male majority worked from 1968 up until now, but changes in our population will at long last KILL this "Party First" election strategy. One of the most IDIOTIC battles the far right republicans have been fighting is the battle against SCIENCE. The party which believes in Social Darwinism, survival of the fittest, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN, and shouts LET THEM DIE at party events is the same party which DENIES the concept supported b ...
From the Article .. TEAM of FOOLS: . The truth is black voters have been lining up for Democrats since southern Dixiecrats fled to the GOP after the passage of the Civil Rights Acts. Those Dixiecrats, best known for their support of states' rights and Jim Crow-era segregation, put away their water hoses and went to work on a plan to contain and marginalize non-white voters for generations. First adopted by Richard Nixon and Barry Goldwater, the so-called Southern Strategy was the kitty-bar across the door, meant to preserve power and privilege by locking up the South for Republicans. In the time since, party leaders have never bothered to remove the proverbial "whites only" sign hanging on their ideological fence. In fact, it's been hanging there so long, they don't even see it. Like that rock at Rick Perry's family hunt club, it's time to paint over the sign and engage in an honest dialogue with communities of color. If Republicans are truly interested in "big tent" politics, they wil ...
Romney is trotting out the old Republican "southern strategy" made popular by Richard Nixon. Racism works. He says that he believes Obama was born in the U.S., wink, wink. But then panders to the racist Birthers with such an inflammatory comment. This is sickening in this day and age. No class, no true core beliefs. That is what you get with Romney. He wants to be President because it would great on his resume. Also, he is a corporatist who will do everything to further empower the wealthy in this nation. He believes in supply side economics and government deregulation. These are failed policies that have been applied over the last 30 years. We are in this mess precisely because of these approaches. The House and Senate have worked against change for the last 4 years. The last two years have been a complete joke. This is squarely the fault of the Republicans who have decided to tank the country in order to win an election. Traitors? Not in the legal sense, but morally, yes. They are traitors to the Americ ...
"The deep south had to be virtually conceded to George Wallace. I could not match him there without compromising on Civil Rights, which I would not do." – Richard Nixon
Richard Nixon got the war on drugs, stopping gold from backing $, Vietnam, watergate, Southern Strategy & of course "Anaconda Malt Liquor"
I would say that the Republican Party disassociated itself with Abraham Lincoln during the presidency of Richard Nixon. Nixon and his advisers developed what is now called the Southern Strategy. The idea behind this strategy was to attract Southern white Democrats who were not happy with the Civil Rights just granted to African Americans in this country of ours. The strategy worked, much to the detriment of our country. Now, the Republican Party has become a hate filled and bigoted group who will utilize race baiting, swift boating, and down right lying to achieve their goals. Ethics and morality be damned. After the murder of John F. Kennedy, the renowned political cartoonist, Herblock, created a cartoon of Lincoln bowing his head in sorrow and shame. As far as I am concerned, his head is still bowed.
Moral Insanity in the GOP was always poorly cloaked- and since the advent of Richard Nixon's "Southern Strategy"- the GOP has attracted the Reconstruction Refuseniks of the south who have influenced the GOP Civil Rights and human rights stances so that they more resemble the "backward glance" (toward white power and exclusion) of the "Knights of the Whiter Camellia" (the KKK) than the party of Lincoln, Eisenhower, Rockefeller, Brooke, Javitts, and even Reagan... they are all "Teapublicans" now- so sad...
In the early Seventies, President Richard Nixon seized on an initiative popularized by a Mr. Kevin Phillips called the "Southern Strategy." Phillips noted th...
The 30-year odyssey of the South switching to the Republican Party began in the 1970s with President Richard Nixon's "Southern Strategy," which was an effort on the part of Nixon to get Christians in the South to stop voting for Democrats who did not share their values and were still discriminating against their fellow Christians who happened to be black. Georgia did not switch until 2002, and some Southern states, including Louisiana, are still controlled by Democrats.
In the 1968 presidential election against Vice President Hubert Humphrey, Richard Nixon and the Republican Party implemented a plan that has come to be known as the Southern Strategy. The Southern Strategy was a communications campaign with the goal of winning the previously unattainable votes of white Americans in the formerly Democratic South. The strategy was a direct campaign to leverage the resentment and fear among whites regarding the Civil Rights and Anti-War movements. So now we have the 2012 version of the Southern Strategy--a desperate gamble to lower the African-American vote in key Southern states by creating a wedge between blacks and *** -a divide and conquer strategy. There are numerous reports that there are national efforts underway to use the issue of *** marriage--which remains controversial among many African-Americans in general, and religious blacks in particular--as a way to deny President Obama a win in the key battleground states of North Carolina, Virginia, and Florida. The ult ...
Richard Nixon's "Southern Strategy" brought racists and religious fundamentalists into the Republican Party.
On August 3, 1980, Ronald Reagan gave his first post-convention speech at the Neshoba County Fair after being officially chosen as the Republican nominee for President of the United States. He said, "I believe in states' rights ... I believe we have distorted the balance of our government today by giving powers that were never intended to be given in the Constitution to that federal establishment." He went on to promise to "restore to states and local governments the power that properly belongs to them".[5] Analysts believed that his use of the phrase was seen by many as a tacit appeal to Southern white voters and a continuation of Richard Nixon's Southern Strategy, while some argued it reflected Reagan's libertarian economic beliefs. The speech drew attention for his use of the phrase "states' rights" at a place just a few miles from a town associated with the 1964 murders of Civil Rights workers

Similar to 'Grand Master' in looks, 'Christmas Tree' has heart-shaped leaves that have irregular white margins and are lightly streaked with grey and green at the edges. In mid-summer, it produces lavender, bell-shaped flowers which are followed by aubergine seed pods. Hostas benefit from plenty of organic matter being added to the soil before planting. They also enjoy being mulched in spring and autumn to help retain moisture in the soil. For the lushest displays, feed with a balanced fertiliser between March and June. Do not feed after this period or you will encourage the sort of sappy growth that slugs adore! To avoid the leaves looking like a piece of lace, take measures against slugs and snails, such as beer traps.

Many already know that Apollo Anton Ohno is one of the U.S.'s best short track olympic speed skaters. Ohno is a five time gold medalist and is looking to add to his collection. After reading the following words from Ohno, it seems that he would also make an exceptional health teacher. Here are some tips, directly from Apollo Anton Ohno, to stay healthy:
"In the weeks leading up to the Olympic Winter Games, rest and relaxation are so important. Not only do I perform better when I'm well rested, but it's my number-one defense against getting sick with a cold or flu. Other than getting enough sleep, to stay healthy during the winter I wash my hands all the time, eat healthy, and exercise frequently."

Flooding Causes Hazards in Some Counties
Written by Phyllis Smith
Last updated on December 08, 2013 @ 6:52PM
Created on December 07, 2013 @ 2:52PM
Certain regions got hit hard by Friday night's heavy rains.
There was even a water rescue in Randolph County. A man had to be evacuated from his trailer from the flood waters. Many emergency service organizations responded to fender benders, along with people getting stranded from their cars.
This happened in counties like Barbour and Upshur. The Tygart River and the Buckhannon River were swollen from the downpour.
Road closures were another issue. One firefighter said flooding oftentimes leads to these kind of situations.
Buckhannon firefighter Joey Baxa said, "During flooding we usually see estranged motorists in high water and we see minor vehicle accidents due to people driving too fast on wet roads."
One main said the weather ruined his plans for the day.
Upshur County resident William Trinkle said, "When I went through town, I couldn't get to the gas station. I had plans to go to Adrian, but I heard it's filled with water, can't get it in. It's pretty bad up there."
According to weather experts, nearly two inches pounded the area throughout Friday.

Fantastic, absolutely worth paying for, keep in mind it will get very cold at the top.
It rained almost to the top of Etna and we were really not expecting to see the sunset and then all at once it cleared and the view was stupendous
Very well organised tour. Amazing sunset and it was very exciting to visit the top of an active volcano.
Only thing of improvement would be that the alpine guide could have spoken a bit more loud and made sure he caught people's attention as many missed out on the great stories he had to tell.
John V United Kingdom
A fantastic tour - beautiful scenery, Etna sunset was magical. Well managed with a stop off on the way back for the best pasta we had in Sicily.
margi Australia
Very impressed with tour and guides!! Best night- Mt Etna had erupted few days before so wasnt sure what would happen but so special as we there- she erupted and put on an amaxing display!!! spectacular sight !!
Very good tour and I recommend this one as opposed to the one that just takes you to the foothills. Knowledgeable and friendly host. We were fortunate enough to see some Stombolian explosions and the lava flow from near the top of Etna. The sunset was also spectacular. The meal on the way back was ok but not a great deal of choice.
One thing to note is that you will need a thick sweater and possibly jacket at the top of Etna. We made the mistake of ignoring the warnings as we had climbed Vesuvius last summer and thought the temperature would be similar. We were very wrong as it was freezing! We ended up having to rent jackets at 4 euros each. As extreme as it may sound it would be wise to pack a scarf, hat and gloves. Our fingers were so cold we could barely hold the camera. My 16 year old son packed a scarf and we all poked fun at him before we left but needless to say he had the last laugh. This trip is well worth the money - just go prepared.
Great views..comedy ticketing for the trip up to the to
The experience was fantastic! Our guide through the local tour company as not good at all. His command of English was weak and his knowledge of the area poorly executed. The excursion once we left him on Mt Etna was amazing. The guides who drove the land rovers were fantastic. Also the other tour groups guides were with them to add more information as well but we were left to fend for ourselves. I would definitely suggest this tour just make sue the operator is NOT THAT ONE.
This was a great tour. Unfortunately for us the weather didn't co-operate and therefore there was not sunset at the top. The guide was excellent and the driver who took us to the top was really good. It got extremely dark at the top but he was confident with his driving and we all felt extremely safe. Walking around the top of the craters was a little scarey as it was quite windy and very loose ash underfoot but we all returned safe and sound. It is quite an experience and one I can recommend to anyone interested in the tour.
Awesome afternoon and evening. Was amazing to go 2800 ft up the volcano and see the many craters, beautiful landscapes and wildlife. The sunset was incredible and one of those experiences you will remember for a lifetime.
I would advise you wear very sensible shoes (trainers or hiking boots) as you will be walking over the volcano and mountain and can be very unstable coming down! Also wrap up warm as although it was 30 degrees at the foothills, up 2800ft is very windy and wind chill probably brought temp down to 10 degrees.
The restaurant at the end of the tour was a charming mountain lodge with delicious (but small) a la carte menu with a choice of three starters and three mains. Service very good seeing as they were serving 40 guests all at the same time.
Only constructive feedback would be that our guide could have been a little more informative to the group when taking us up the Volcano (by foot and jeep). He was very friendly but would have been great to hear more facts and information about Mount Etna.
The sunset trip is definitely a must do.
very nice!
An interesting drive up but too much waiting to load up the jeeps. Not a lot of information from the guide. We did not see the sunset as it was foggy.
The sunset was beautiful and worth seeing. My only criticism is that you should be prepared for the climb and the cold. If you are older the climb may be a little rough as well as the drive back down. The guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating and helped me back to the off road bus when I found it difficult walking.
It certainly was an experience but unfortunately it was misty at the top of Etna so got NO view. You travelled to the top in jeep/buses, very bumpy and dusty. It was interesting to see the craters and lava but in our case with the mist around, it was a lot of money for very little.

Quito, Jun 11 (EFE).- The body of the giant tortoise known as "Lonesome George," which died a year ago, is being embalmed in the United States, a process after which it will be returned to Ecuador to be exhibited in the Galapagos archipelago.
Jorge will thus become a "wake-up call to make people see what can happen to a species if we humans keep destroying our home, the natural world, without realizing what we're doing," Washington Tapia, director of applied research at Galapagos National Park, told Efe.
To display the embalmed body of the popular tortoise, the last of the Chelonoidis abingdoni species, endemic to Pinta Island, and which is believed to have been more than 100 years old when it died, an "Interpretation Center" will be built at the place it spent its las 40 years.
The idea is that "even dead it will serve as an interpretative and educational tool for the local population and visitors," Tapia said.
After Jorge's death on June 24, 2012, the body was preserved in freezers at 50 C below zero (58 F below zero) with very special care taken to keep its tissues from deteriorating.
In March it was flown to the United States (in perfect condition) and took three days to thaw, after which the embalming process was begun at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, Tapia said.
The Galapagos Islands are located about 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) west of the coast of continental Ecuador and were declared a World Natural Heritage Site in 1978.
Some 95 percent of the territory's 8,000 sq. kilometers (a little over 3,000 sq. miles) constitutes a protected area that is home to more than 50 species of animals and birds found nowhere else on the planet.
The islands were made famous by 19th-century British naturalist Charles Darwin, whose observations of life on the islands contributed greatly to his theory of the evolution of species.
