The Criticism of Georgia is Mistaken
E. Lawrence Barcella, in his letter of Dec. 31, simply misstates the facts in his attack on Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili—whom he also accuses of using a "public-relations machine" to boost his image. But it is Mr. Barcella, through ties he fails to disclose, who is engaged in PR machinations.
With respect to the facts, Mr. Barcella mocks President Saakashvili's anticorruption measures, including his widely heralded reform of the police force. Yet by every credible measure, these efforts have been a success. A recent Gallup and IRI survey found that trust in the police among the Georgian public exceeds 80%, versus just 4% in 2003 before the Rose Revolution. Meanwhile, Transparency International found that fewer than 2% of Georgians had to pay for a public service—among the best rankings in the world—and its Corruption Perception Index already ranks Georgia higher than several European Union member states. As for media freedom, Georgia has leapt up the rankings maintained by Reporters Without Borders, and is now considered more free than its neighbors, including Turkey and Ukraine.
As he tramples on certain facts, Mr. Barcella fails to disclose a critical one: the strong ties he and his firm have to Russia, as well as to KGB veteran and Kremlin favorite Igor Giorgadze—the man wanted by Interpol for having tried to assassinate Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze in 1995.
In light of this, your readers might well reconsider Mr. Barcella's baseless accusations.

Any advice on things I did not try will be greatly appreciated...a solution would be even better
A site that I'm working on takes an incredibly long time to load. The admin side takes even longer to process. Even the static front page doesn't come up as fast as it should. I downloaded Yslow for FireFox and it was getting timed at 4-10 seconds.
- Hosting: GoDaddy Linux Shared
- PHP5 MySql5
- Working on Safari and FireFox os X
What I've Done:
- started out with 2.8.5 and I was experiencing long delays so I backed up my db and upgraded. The issue still persisted.
- Contacted GoDaddy, which I have another site using wordpress on a different GoDaddy server that is working fine, and they tested the performance on their end and the server was fine.
It's not my internet connection either...I did a speed test and that came up at 13.4 Mbps.

The NFL scouting combine gets mocked a lot. Every February, you read or hear snide comments about how anyone who gets jazzed up to watch big dudes run around in their skivvies needs to get a life. You also get the obligatory "Why would you change your mind about drafting a player based on his 40 time? Just watch the game tape!" And from a fantasy football perspective, there's a creeping sense that it's much ado about nothing, since so few of these rookies-to-be will make a dent in 10-team leagues.
But listen: Nobody's saying the combine is a substitute for real football. Nobody's saying to ignore game tape. Nobody's guaranteeing these new guys should be first-round picks in your fantasy draft. Do some NFL teams value the sheer physical abilities of these kids too much? Sure, and they're usually bad teams. Most franchises have things in perspective. The combine is a place where you can compare apples to apples by getting a sense of the relative physical abilities of each kid in identical environments, and thus inform the scouting you do of actual college games.
For my part, I know that watching Mike Wallace out of the University of Mississippi run a 4.33 40-yard dash last season didn't instantly make me believe he was going to be a factor in the 2009 NFL season. But the truth was that I'd really never given the kid a second thought, because I'm not an NFL scout. Seeing how fast he was, seeing Johnny Knox run a 4.34, it put those guys on my radar. When their respective NFL franchises (the Pittsburgh Steelers and Chicago Bears) began to use them in preseason games and then early in the regular season, I had some sense of what kind of players they are. And that was very useful.
I wasn't in Indianapolis this past week, and I can't proclaim that I was riveted by all gazillion hours of the NFL Network's TV coverage of the combine. But I do think putting what we saw into some context can help us heading into the April draft, and the 2010 NFL season.
'09 rookie review: Mark Sanchez, Matthew Stafford and Josh Freeman were the No. 25, 26 and 27 quarterbacks in fantasy last year, leading (I'll wager) absolutely no one to a fantasy championship. That's a comedown from 2008, when Matt Ryan was the No. 13 fantasy quarterback, and Joe Flacco was No. 16. To be fair, of course, Stafford missed six-plus games with injury, and Freeman didn't play until his Week 7 cameo, and they basically racked up the same fantasy points as The Sanchize did in 15 games.
• Did you hear there's this guy named Tim Tebow who's coming out this year? More breath has been expended on Tebow than anyone I can remember, with some people making excuses for The Proselytizer (my new nickname for Tebow), and others absolutely convinced he's the next Eric Crouch. Tebow tied a record for the highest vertical jump by a quarterback. The reason you shouldn't get excited? The person he tied was Josh McCown. No matter what you think of Tebow's NFL future, he won't be a fantasy factor for years.
• Dan LeFevour, he of the 149 combined career touchdowns at Central Michigan, reportedly bummed out a ton of NFL scouts by electing not to throw. LeFevour claimed he had mechanics to tweak, an excuse everyone seemed to buy from Tebow, who also didn't throw. But perhaps because LeFevour has zero Heismans in his trophy case, or isn't quite the interview Tebow is, he bore the brunt of scouts' ire.
• There's apparently a lot of buzz -- propagated at least in part by ESPN's own Adam Schefter -- that the Rams are going to take Sam Bradford No. 1 overall. I can't even swear Bradford will be a better pro prospect than Jimmy Clausen. I know it's been a long time since we've seen Bradford healthy, but I can't help feeling there aren't any star signal-callers in this draft.
Running backs
'09 Rookie review: Nobody's surprised that Knowshon Moreno was the top fantasy point-getter among rookie rushers in '09, or at least they shouldn't be. But I personally know a few folks who are surprised that Beanie Wells translated his impressive '09 combine into a very good rookie season, that LeSean McCoy was respectable in relief of Brian Westbrook, that Shonn Greene's playoff performance made Thomas Jones expendable, and that Arian Foster (who went undrafted in '09 but made my deep-sleeper preseason list) injected himself into Houston's backfield late. On this coin's other side, Donald Brown showed flashes but couldn't stay healthy, Bernard Scott stayed mostly trapped behind Cedric Benson, Glen Coffee was awful in relief of Frank Gore, and Rashad Jennings barely scratched the surface for Jacksonville.
• There's a reason C.J. Spiller is the most coveted rusher in this year's draft: 21 of his 52 career college touchdowns were 50 yards or longer. That's sick. Some scouts reportedly timed Spiller at a sub-4.30 40, but his official number was 4.37, which is still plenty fast. Let the Chris Johnson comparisons begin. Spiller isn't big (5-foot-11, 196 pounds), and he battled a toe problem last season. But he's a lock first-rounder, and he's likely to be the most valuable fantasy rusher on whichever team he lands (Seahawks?), though he's not considered a 20-carry-per-game guy. (Is anyone these days?) Recent comparable: It's not fair to say he's quite at Johnson's level of explosiveness, but Jamaal Charles measured out at almost exactly these same numbers in the '08 combine (5-11, 200 pounds, 4.38 40).
• Jahvid Best is basically the same size as Spiller (5-10, 199 pounds) and ran a 4.35, fastest among running backs. He's had durability problems as a collegiate, including a concussion and subsequent neck issues that kept him out of his final four games. It's possible Best carries with him a slight stigma as a Cal running back: Neither Marshawn Lynch (12th overall in 2007) nor J.J. Arrington (second round in 2006) has lived up to advanced billing (to be fair, not a lot was expected of Justin Forsett, a seventh-rounder in '08, nor Joe Echemandu, a seventh-rounder in '04). If Best stays healthy, he's every bit the home-run threat Spiller is. Recent comparable: Reggie Bush never ran at the combine (he submitted a 4.33 at his pro day), has battled injury troubles, and will likely never live up to the hype of being the No. 2 overall pick in '06, but you can't argue that he's not explosive.
• Spiller and Best are the game-breakers in this draft, but it will be very interesting to see where Ryan Mathews lands. Mathews, who led college football with 150.7 rushing yards per game, is bigger than those first two guys (6 feet, 218 pounds), yet still ran a 4.45. There are a lot of intriguing big backs in this draft, guys who are bigger than Mathews. But only one (Ben Tate; more on him in a moment) timed out faster. Recent comparable: Mathews screams "Matt Forte" from the rooftops. Of course, there's a question of whether he's '08 Forte or '09 Forte.
• Montario Hardesty has the whiff of a one-year wonder about him, and had a serious knee injury at Tennessee, but there's no denying how impressive he was as a fifth-year senior: 1,345 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns, seemingly out of nowhere. Hardesty had the best vertical leap and broad jump of any running back at the combine, and ran a 4.49 at 225 pounds. He'll begin his rookie year somewhere as a complementary back, hopefully in a one-cut, downhill-type system. Luck and circumstance will dictate whether he becomes a fantasy factor. Recent comparable: I was saying the same thing about Andre Brown last spring, and he tore an ACL for the Giants. So let's be more optimistic and say Rashard Mendenhall.
• Ben Tate turned in the most surprising 40 time among running backs: 4.43 at 220 pounds. Tate also tied for the most reps, at 26, at his position. If you watched Tate at Auburn, you didn't always come away with the sense that he was a dominant player (despite 1,362 rushing yards this year); maybe that's just a lingering sense that before his senior year, he was pretty much a disappointment. But hey, he just guaranteed he'll be drafted in the third or fourth round in April. Recent comparable: DeShawn Wynn was another underwhelming SEC guy who surprised with a fast 40 time despite his size. Hopefully things work out better for Tate.
• Dexter McCluster was a cause celebre at the Senior Bowl, but there's no way to spin his 4.58 at the combine. At just 172 pounds, there's no question he was supposed to run faster than that. He has great hands and could be a really diverse weapon, but I've officially grown a little skeptical. Toby Gerhart ran an unofficial 4.53, fast enough to give him a crack at being an NFL halfback, but not fast enough to boost his draft stock to the point that he'll get near the top of a pro depth chart soon. Anthony Dixon, LeGarrette Blount and Jonathan Dwyer are all very big backs who could luck into fantasy-relevant circumstances as the '10 season claims backfield injuries. But Dwyer has to be disappointed to be in this company, speed-wise. Joe McKnight and James Starks should also be drafted.
Wide receiver
'09 rookie review: Let's face it: Compared to running backs, it's significantly less likely that any rookie wideout is going to be a fantasy star this year. That said, four rookies made the top 30 in receiver scoring last year: Percy Harvin (No. 21), Hakeem Nicks (No. 27), Mike Wallace (No. 28) and Austin Collie (No. 30). That was better than '08, when only Eddie Royal cracked the top 30. Michael Crabtree did good things once he finally signed, and Jeremy Maclin, Kenny Britt and Brandon Gibson looked like players on the rise late. On the flip side, Darrius Heyward-Bey was a combine workout warrior who, for one season, flamed out completely, Brian Robiskie is a cautionary tale to yours truly about falling in love with an unheralded guy's strong combine, and Deon Butler showed that running fast doesn't necessarily mean you'll get on the field.
• Since Dez Bryant didn't work out, the battle for best receiving prospect at the combine was up for grabs, and there's no consensus winner. My money is still on Arrelious Benn, but it's hard to argue that he really set himself apart with a 4.48 unofficial time. Benn didn't play in a good passing offense at Illinois, but he was terrific going up and getting the ball, he's certainly still fast for his size, and he's scary to tackle. Recent comparable: How about Dwayne Bowe?
• Golden Tate is getting a lot of pub for having a good combine, though everyone was hyperventilating over his 40 time, which was unofficially in the low 4.3s but wound up at a more reasonable 4.42. Having watched just about every game this kid played at Notre Dame: He's going to be an excellent pro. You heard a lot of people who said that at 5-10, the best Tate could be was a slot receiver. You're not going to hear that much anymore. Recent comparable: At the risk of contributing to the hyperventilating, it's the Panthers' Steve Smith. Smith's combine workout: 4.41 at 5-9, 184 pounds. Tate's: 4.42 at 5-10, 199 pounds, and he has that same kind of ferocity to the ball.
• The only offensive prospect at this year's combine to crack the 4.30 barrier was Jacoby Ford, a track star from Clemson who showed flashes of extreme speed a few times during his senior year, but who (as they say) doesn't always play as fast as his 4.28 this weekend might indicate. Put it this way: Heyward-Bey running 4.30 at 210 pounds is more impressive than Ford running 4.28 at 186 pounds. And we know how DHB has worked out so far. Recent comparable: His agent will say DeSean Jackson, but Ford never showed playmaking skills like that. His detractors will say Yamon Figurs.
• Mardy Gilyard is a former defensive back turned wide receiver, and the driving force behind Cincinnati's undefeated regular season. He isn't purely a "measurables" guy; at 6 feet, 187 pounds, he's not particularly big, and he ran an estimated 4.56 on Sunday. Frankly, he's a little bit scary. He's one of those college "playmakers" everyone says is going to be a ferocious open-field threat, but once those guys get to the NFL, if they don't have elite speed they tend to disappear. But there's no question he was a game-breaker in college. Recent comparable: You sometimes hear Chad Ochocinco, who at his combine was 6-1, 193 pounds and ran a 4.45 40. I'm not buying it. Maybe he's Mario Manningham.
• Another guy that raises doubts as a rookie is Brandon LaFell. He unofficially ran in the 4.60s at 210 pounds, significantly slower than his boosters hoped he would. Maybe he'll make up for it at his pro day, and maybe he'll land somewhere perfect to take advantage of his size (6-3) and exceptional hands, and make him a red zone threat right away. But I've heard that story before. Recent comparable: He has the size to be Mohamed Massaquoi, and maybe he could be an Austin Collie-type if someone decides to use him as a nontraditional slot type of guy. He could also be James Hardy at first.
• A roundup of receiver prospects should include USC's Damian Williams, a terrific route runner without top-end speed; however, those pitching him as another (Giants) Steve Smith definitely wanted to see Williams run a better time (unofficially he was mid-4.50s, compared to Smith's 4.37). Taylor Price fast became a coach's favorite during Senior Bowl practices, and he ran 4.41 at the combine, second-fastest among all receivers. He has stellar hands and is over 200 pounds, so while he doesn't have that gangly range you love from a top wideout (he's 6 feet), he has the capacity to be a scary athlete. Remember his name. Dez Briscoe has some nice size and good hands and benefited from Kansas' tendency to throw it all over the field, but he isn't fast and hasn't always caught it well in traffic. Kyle Williams of Arizona State could be a nice slot guy after running 4.43.
• Finally, let's look at a few more obscure players who could someday have big-receiver No. 1 upside. (Think Vincent Jackson and Brandon Marshall.) It's tough to argue that any of the following players will be favored to contribute right away in fantasy leagues, but their names still may be worth knowing; after all, if you'd had your eye on unheralded big guys like Mike Sims-Walker (né Mike Walker), Miles Austin and Sidney Rice last summer, you'd have been ready to pounce when they broke out. (And please continue to remember the name Marko Mitchell.) First up among the big guys with future No. 1 potential is Marcus Easley. He's known as having occasionally spotty hands, but running 4.46 at 6-3 and 210 pounds is impressive. Carlton Mitchell will be well worth a redshirt year in the NFL; he's coming out as a junior having caught only 40 passes for 706 yards at South Florida, but he's 6-3, 215 pounds and ran a 4.49 40. Whether or not he can follow guys like Marshall and Jackson into fantasy greatness in a few seasons will depend on his landing spot and his work ethic. Stephen Williams of Toledo falls into that same camp: he's 6-4 and 210 pounds and unofficially ran in the low 4.50s. Of the six guys named "Williams" who worked out at receiver this weekend, Stephen has the most upside.
Tight end
'09 rookie review: Let's not get carried away. Rookie tight ends are almost never worth drafting in fantasy leagues. Brandon Pettigrew was a first-rounder last April but is as much blocker as he is receiver, plus he tore his ACL in November and looks unlikely to be ready for Week 1. Jared Cook and Shawn Nelson could have nice futures as pass-catchers, but they did next to nothing in '09. And don't get me started on Richard Quinn.
• Jermaine Gresham, Rob Gronkowski and Garrett Graham all lifted but didn't run, ceding the field to combine star Dorin Dickerson. Not only did Dickerson out-lift all three of those bigger and more-heralded players, but he went out and ran a 4.40 40, faster than all but one of the wide receivers this weekend. Dickerson played wideout at the Senior Bowl and didn't distinguish himself, so the question will be whether he can make it as a tight end, or if he has to play some kind of hybrid H-back role. We probably won't find out for sure in 2010.

Program offers disaster skills classes
Published: Monday, August 2, 2004 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, August 1, 2004 at 9:34 p.m.
Community Emergency Response Teams will offer a free class to cover the basic skills that are important to know in a disaster when emergency services may not be available.
The eight-session course will meet from 6 to 9 p.m. Mondays, beginning Aug. 23 through Oct. 11, in Room 231, Sink Building, Blue Ridge Community College.
During the training, students will learn how to build a disaster preparedness kit.
The training is free, but there will be some expenses for the materials and textbook.
Rocky Hyder, Henderson County Emergency Manager, created the Henderson County CERT Program in March and appointed Lee Mager as program coordinator.
Mager will be the instructor for the class, assisted by others from the Henderson County Emergency Management Office.
"This class is designed for anyone who is interested in helping his or her neighborhood prepare for a disaster and provide assistance afterward," Mager said. "Team training is preferred, but persons may be trained even if they are not affiliated with a team."
Mager has more than 30 years of training and service in the Navy and has taught for many years at BRCC. He is a certified trainer for the CERT program.
Registration forms for the CERT training are available at the Henderson County Emergency Management Office, 101 E. Allen St. Students need to be at least 18 years of age and are expected to attend all classes.
Phone 697-4527 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays. The class will be limited to 20 participants and will be filled on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Tired of the same old fare? Try this recipe:
Take one crooked politician, a handful of gorgeous waitresses, lots of natural body juices and mix it all up in a sleepy southern diner owned by a horny black stud.
Tami Monroe leads in this scrumptious dish, and what a little sexual firecracker she turns out to be! She has no trouble standing on her own against grumpy owner Ray Victory or the sleazy county inspector, played by Joey Silvera, who expects fleshy kickbacks.
Silvera attempts to jail illegal alien Tanja de Vries because she won't submit to his sexual advances, while everyone else in and around the diner spends most of their time with legs spread. Every sex scene is delectable, especially when the amazing Victory cooks up some short-order lovin'.
Superior video craftsmanship abounds in Kiss My Grits, and while it's not Cajun, it sure is hot. So is the packaging. Guar-un-tee!

One of the slowest workers in the game, Claude Osteen lulled opposing batters (and fans) to sleep with his methodical pitching style. He hurled a shutout in Game Three of the 1965 World Series, and tossed 40 more shutouts in regular season play. Despite that impressive number of whitewashes, Osteen finished just a shade over .500 for his 18-year career, at 196-195. He won at least 10 games in ten straight seasons, and reached 15 victories eight times. Nicknamed "Gomer" because of his resemblance to Gomer Pyle
Biographical Information
Osteen was signed by the Cincinnati Reds and pitched in the majors in 1957 while he was still 17 years old. He appeared in 3 games and had a 2.25 ERA. In spite of that, he didn't come back until he was 19, and was not successful in cups of coffee in either 1960 or 1961. The Reds of 1961 were a miracle team, winning the pennant after finishing 6th the previous year, but Osteen only had one appearance with them and was traded to the Senators in September. The 1961 Reds were a team full of young pitchers (among them, Jim O'Toole, 24, Joey Jay, 25, Jim Maloney, 21, and Ken Hunt, 22), so Osteen was expendable.
Osteen became a starter for the last-place Washington Senators in 1962. Although he had initially come up 5 years earlier, he was still only 22 years old. While his winning percentages were not impressive, his ERA's were below the league average in both 1962 and 1963. In 1964 he went 15-13 on a team that lost 100 games, and the Dodgers traded Frank Howard to get him. Howard, who was 27 in 1964, had come off an unimpressive season, but was to go on with the Senators to lead the league twice in home runs.
Osteen joined the Los Angeles Dodgers for the 1965 season, when they won the World Series. Osteen's regular season record was only 15-15, but he pitched well in the World Series, giving up only one earned run in 14 innings against the Minnesota Twins.
Osteen also appeared in the 1966 World Series with the Dodgers, giving up one earned run in 7 innings against the Baltimore Orioles, but ending up on the wrong end of a 1-0 loss.
He was a heavily used starter for 9 years with the Dodgers, typically starting close to 40 games each year, and both winning and losing in double figures.
In the 1970 All Star Game. Osteen pitched five shutout innings and won the 1970 game. A game remembered most by Pete Rose's barreling into Ray Fosse to score the winning run in the 12th inning. Coincidentally, like Osteen, the pitcher and hitter involved in the walkoff single were also Tennessee natives: Jim Hickman (a Dodger teammate of Osteen's in 1967) collected the hit off losing pitcher Clyde Wright (coincidentally, Hickman and Wright would become Comeback Players of the Year in their respective leagues).
In 1972 he went 20-11, but it was more typical to see him go 16-14, which he did in 1970. Osteen had an incredibly strong year in 1972 finishing with 7 complete game victories in his last 9 starts. That year, he was 20-11 with a 2.64 ERA in 252 innings pitched.
He made his 3rd and final All-Star team in 1973, in his last real quality season, and his last season with the Dodgers. That year, he went 16-11 and had a 3.31 ERA with a 2nd-place Dodger team. In his 33 starts on the season, he had 12 complete games and 3 shutouts. He had won in double figures each year from 1964-1973.
He was a consistent arm in the rotation at a time when the Dodger team changed significantly. He joined the Dodgers a year before Sandy Koufax retired and a year before Don Sutton came up as a rookie. He continued with them after Don Drysdale retired, and was still a starting pitcher when youngsters such as Steve Garvey, Ron Cey, Bill Buckner, and Davey Lopes joined the team. He outlasted Maury Wills, who had been traded from the Dodgers after the 1966 season, came back in 1969, and retired after the 1972 season.
Finally, after the 1973 season, the Dodgers traded Osteen for Jimmy Wynn, who was probably the real MVP on the 1974 Dodgers rather than Garvey, who won the award. Osteen pitched most of a season for Houston in 1974, was traded to St. Louis in August, and finished up with the Chicago White Sox in 1975, a team that featured two other veteran workhorse pitchers - Wilbur Wood and Jim Kaat.
Osteen, like several other Dodger pitchers of the 1960's, was a pretty good hitter, with a .188 lifetime average. When he won 20 games in 1972, he also hit .273.
Never a factor in Cy Young Award voting, he was nevertheless a three-time All Star. He finished up with 196 victories and 195 losses, and a 3.30 lifetime ERA during what was largely a pitcher's era. The most similar pitcher, according to the "similarity scores" method, was Curt Simmons, a National League contemporary of Osteen who also appeared in 3 All Star games but never figured in the Cy Young Award voting either.
Matchup BigData
It would be hard for any batter to have more success against a pitcher, than Orlando Cepeda enjoyed against Osteen. The future Hall of Fame slugger hit .478 (32-for-67) with six homers and a .821 SLG percentage against the southpaw... Hank Aaron belted 14 homers off Osteen in 126 career at-bats... On the other hand, Willie Mays hit just .252 (26-for-103) against Osteen, though he did slug five homers and was walked 17 times... Osteen baffled left-handed slugger Willie McCovey, holding him to 10-for-67 (.149) with four homers.
After Osteen retired as a player, he became a fixture around the league as a pitching coach for the Dodgers and several other teams.
Two of his sons, David Osteen and Gavin Osteen, pitched in the minor leagues.

Track Name: Rust Belt Heart (local 506 3/25/11)
Ghosts of glories reign here, clothes are shadows of former selves. Unsealing mother's eyes, the pigeons take flight as Monsignor's ringing the church bells. Cinder-block car beneath the snow, my family wants and I want so much more than my wrinkles show. And the neighbors they've gone away. Dark house, all the drop-outs they play inside. I can't afford to stay, I can't afford to say goodbye.
The sad refrain that you won't ever make the grade. Tear it apart my rust belt heart.
Screams in the kitchen, all the bedroom tension. They're sending us home one week before we get pension. "Clean out your locker, gentlemen, we wish you the best" and then they watched the men walk down the suicide steps. Mother claws and scratches, she works part-time. All these steel-toed boots in the unemployment line. I have to remind myself I'm a good man. Tears remind us of what was or what may be like friction squealing unoiled machinery.
The sad refrain that you won't ever make the grade. Tear it apart my rust belt heart.
Track Name: Used To Believe (local 506 3/25/11)
I used to believe in the radio
All alone in my bedroom, how I loved it so
What happened, I can't guess
But I was listening less and less
Hanging around with a different crowd, yeah I suppose
My and my friends we were punks
Drunk as hell cause that's punk as fuck
We got a band to be famous and to get laid
Hey can you blame us?
But without a record deal, we did the punk rock thing and broke up
My Pop don't believe in the power of song
"Son the only way a song is going to right a wrong:
Take the lyrics of 'Blowin' In The Wind',
Write them on the bills with Ben Franklin
Pass them around to the poor across this great country
And maybe, eventually, you're going to cure poverty
All I ever needed was rock and roll
Rock and roll and a turntable
And me and Lou and Iggy Pop
And the drugs and Mary and oh, we couldn't stop!
I wonder how my kids are doing these days
I wrote songs that matter! I had a story to tell!
I thought that's what the world wanted as well
I wrote The Greatest Songs You Never Heard
You assholes asked for 'Freebird'
Well damn you and FM Radio straight to hell
I used to believe that a catchy tune
Can cause world peace if everyone will just sing with you
Then I started watching the evening news
Now I believe what they want me to:
'Read Psalms! Drop bombs! And God Bless America!'
I used to believe in a lot of things
I used to believe in believing
But now it's just so hard
Still, I got something to say and a guitar
Maybe that's all the reason I need to believe
Track Name: I'll Survive (local 506 3/25/11)
When the sea sent me a hurricane I survived
Through a hole in my roof I saw a black sky
I got water through the floor and a boat through the door
I can't call that a home no more
When the sea sent me a hurricane, I survived
The devil took my Daddy but I survived
See Daddy took to drinking, me-oh-my!
I survived his cussin', his drinkin', his sin
But I can't say the same for him
The devil took my Daddy, I'll survive
The war took my brother, I'll survive
He was serving his country in the front line
He died by a bullet, friend or foe?
The U.S. Government still don't know
Someone killed my brother I don't know why
Jesus took my baby, why Lord why?
Oh why Lord him, and not I?
A life would end before it'd start
No greater pain for a parent's heart
Jesus took my baby and only he knows why
Now you standing at my door saying you leaving tonight
You know you ain't ever been worth one tear from my eye
You call me cheap and worthless down by the bar
Who the hell do you think you are?
You want to leave get to steppin' tonight
I'm not gonna say it again, good-bye
Let me say it loud and clear:
Without you I know I can survive
Track Name: Teenage DMZ (local 506 3/25/11)
Nobody understands me
Nobody understand me now
My Momma don't get it
My Poppa say boy you better turn that shit down
I don't make sense to my teachers
I don't make sense to my preachers now
All I do is go 'yeah yeah'
They say you need an education
They say you need some ambition
They say this boy just needs some salvation
I don't understand
Cause they stand there with their prescriptions
Watching their televisions
They got augmentations
And ammunitions
All I do is go 'yeah yeah'
They used to sing tuitti fruitti
They used to sing be-bop-a-hula baby
They'd dance so close to shama-lama-ding-dong
And gabba gabba hey
I don't understand
I don't understand why they don't understand
When I go 'yeah yeah'
I remember that summer
I saved up every dime
I walked to the counter slapped down my dollar
Pointed to a guitar and said I believe that is mine
And it was like for the first time
For the very first time
I could stand up tall
From now on I'm going to stand up tall
And I'm walking tall
And I'm singing loud
I'm gonna go 'yeah yeah'
Track Name: I Will Not Be Broken Nor Will I Be Denied (local 506 3/25/11)
All my life nothing's ever been clear
Although I'm a man grown I still have my fears
And every time I widen my eyes the more I'm terrified
But I will not be broken and I won't be denied
It's been I, yes, that's chosen this path
It seems every step I've made, I've wanted to turn back
I've taken my falls and I've had to crawl
But every time I stand and reply:
I will not be broken nor will I be denied
I will not be broken nor will I be denied
Though tempted I may, I can't walk away
Until I'm satisfied
Oh the pain life brings when you're just following dreams
But I will not be broken nor will I be denied
There's been many a time that I couldn't stand tall
I was wasted, forgotten, no I had nothing
Cause I gave my all, I thought
"Stay down, don't get up! Stay down, don't get up!"
But no, not this time
Because I will not be broken nor will I be denied
I will not be broken nor will I be denied
Though tempted I may, I can't walk away
Until I'm satisfied
Oh the pain life brings when you're just following dreams
But I will not be broken nor will I be denied

BATON ROUGE, LA -- LSU has fired basketball coach John Brady.
Brady led the Tigers to the Final Four in 2006, finishing off a
27-and-9 campaign. But LSU fell to 17-and-15 with a 5-and-11
conference record the next season and things have just gotten
worse. The Tigers are 8-and-13 this season.
Brady leaves Baton Rouge as the third-winningest coach in the
university's history. His 192-and-139 record also includes two
first-place finishes in the Southeastern Conference.

I added a lot more garlic...but LOVE these. Just as a snack, in a bloody mary...or on a wrap. I am an amateur canner too, very easy to do. Thanks, this is a keeper.

Arts This Weekend at the Movies
posted by August 10 at 16:46 PMon
Documentaries are the stars this week—August is a dumping ground for mediocre big movies, so it's a good time to experiment with cinemathèques and art houses.
In On Screen this week: the Iraq occupation doc No End in Sight ("From the initial invasion, to the months of looting, to the disastrous disbanding of the Iraqi military, de-Baathification, and the current[ly failing] troop surge, the film is a step-by-step guide to building an insurgency from the ground up," says Lindy West)…
… the wacky but not quite fantacky Neil Gaiman adaptation Stardust (note to Stephen Holden: Gwyneth would have made an insipid star); another doc, Ghosts of Cité Soleil, about pro-Aristide gangsters in Haiti's largest slum ("a flash of glamour too terrible and too politicized to burn very long," I wrote); Daddy Day Camp ("Take your kids to see Ratatouille. Fuck, take 'em to see Underdog! Just please, please, please do not take them to Daddy Day Camp," begs Megan Seling); Live-In Maid ("an unusually sensitive and fascinating portrait of what money and work mean to women of a certain age," says Jen Graves); Molière ("Because it's a pure fantasy, the film offers the viewer no education; because it's not a work of art, it offers the viewer's soul no enrichment," says Charles Mudede); Rocket Science ("The director of this wholly unoriginal indie flick, Jeffery Blitz, also made Spellbound," Charles observes); and Rush Hour 3 ("lazy, lunky, and spectacularly stupid," says Bradley Steinbacher).
For limited runs this week, which include the SIFF alums Bamako (a mild drama/heavy globalization thesis from the extremely interesting director Abderrahmane Sissako) and I Have Never Forgotten You: The Life and Legacy of Simon Wiesenthal (an interesting character, but the film doesn't quite do him justice), Traffic (Jacques Tati's penultimate film, and the last to be distributed theatrically), and Twisted Flicks: Cat-Women of the Moon (actually, I think I'd rather see this one with the original dialogue), see Get Out.

The establishment at the mouth of the Rio de la Plata, in Uruguay, used in part as a quarantine station, is a strange combination of hotel, prison, military camp and seaside resort. It is situated on the Flores island, the sovereignty of which is vested in the Republic above named. In the summer months, everything that comes from the neighborhood of Rio de Janeiro is under the ban, on account of the dread of yellow fever, and every person from that port is detained until ten days shall have elapsed from the time of sailing. A single boat-load may comprise from 300 to 600 visitors.

Love my new tier curtain panels and valances! They are absolutely beautiful! The color was spot on and they are a nice thick curtain.
The product is great. It is exactly like what it looks like online. The color is a gorgeous, very deep purple which is just what I was wanting. My only complaint is that when I ordered it, it said it would be here on a certain date and I didn't receive it until almost 2 weeks after the initial quoted date. But other than that....the product itself is great. I have no complaints.
I received my delivery immediately. These curtains exceeded my expectations. The color and fabric complimented the entire room. I, especially, liked the beaded fringe. I may order other colors for my other rooms.
Nice fabric, well made, very pretty.

At the May 23rd meeting of the St. Augustine South Improvement Association, five students who live in "The South" each received a $400 scholarship to be used toward their post-secondary education.
The awarding of these scholarships, this year totalling $2000, is an annual practice of the association. Herb and Barbara Naumann coordinated the application and approval process again in 2007.
Kyle Bray attended the Florida School for the Blind and plans to enter St. Johns River Community College with the goal of becoming a teacher of the visually disabled. His mother is Cheryl Bray of Prince Road.
Melissa Butler attended Pedro Menendez High School and will enter the University of North Florida with the goal of becoming a teacher. Her father is Harold Butler of Argonaut Road.
Chelsea Ginn attended St. Augustine High School and will go to Florida State University to study Theatre Arts Performance. She is the daughter of Jay and Linda Ginn, Prince Road. Chelsea has performed in a number of plays as a high school student.
Adam Smith plans to be a veterinarian and is attending Santa Fe Community College, Gainesville. He is the son of Janet Smith of Queen Road.
Alexandra Wiles also plans to be a veterinarian. On the night of the awards she was attending the baccalaureate ceremonies at St. Josephs Academy and was unable to attend this meeting. She is the daughter of Susan Marie Williams and Bill Wiles, who received the award for his daughter. She lives on Argus Road. Alexandra plans to attend St. Johns River Community College and then transfer to the University of Florida to study journalism.
Perhaps we can encourage Alexandra or some of the other recipients to write a monthly column for Southern Comfort about their experiences in college? It would be of interest to our residents.
S.A.S.I.A. President Theresa Nizza presented the checks to the students at the meeting.
Your association is pleased to be able to offter assistance to these deserving young people as they each pursue their dreams. These scholarships are made possible by our revenue from bingo, memberships, and rentals of the clubhouse at 709 Royal Road.

While calculating photosynthetic efficiency, do we take into account the Gross Primary Production or the Net Primary Production ?
We can actually use either depending on the specified convention, but a more convenient way to characterise the photosynthetic efficiency is:-
I should also mention that using GPP instead of NPP was the practice followed in a large number of texts I read. But I think using NPP is not only the modern view, but also scientifically more convenient.
Here is the wikipedia page on photosynthetic efficiency and here is the book which houses the technicalities of these definitions along with several values of the various efficiencies.

Hoping someone can help me as I have, thus far, been unable to solve the issue.
I am running a media center utilizing Ubuntu 12.04.
I was initially successful accessing media files from the desktop running Ubuntu via my Windows 7 laptop and Roku device.
I started backing up a new batch of DVD's I had (into MKV files, like everything else in my media folders) and noticed I cannot access the new files from either the Roku or the laptop.
- I have not changed any settings in the media folder.
- I have verified the shared permissions.
- The parent folder (Media) is shared (with permission flow-down) while the subfolders (Movies, TV Shows, Music) are not.
- I have changed the permissions on this to include shared when the access problem arose but with no success.
- I can only access the original files uploaded an not new files added.
Any suggestions?

Local readers tell of strange sightings
Published: Sunday, October 30, 2005 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, October 29, 2005 at 11:22 p.m.
Apartment ghost is thief in night
"The first incident of something coming up missing happened around last Christmas at our Colonial Village apartment in Houma. My husband, Joseph Marcels, film badge was missing for months. He had put it on our bedroom dresser. One night he went back for it and it was gone. We had turned everything upside down and never found it.
"About three months later, when I walked into the bedroom, it was laying on the middle of the floor in plain view.
"We never gave it a second thought until a few other things came up missing. There was my daughters hairbrush, my nightgown, my daughters lunch box and various other things. They would always reappear in plain view.
"I would always ask the office manager if someone passed away in here and she would always say she did not know. I must also say that I believe in spirits. I had a child that passed away about 10 years ago. I often believe that maybe she may be taking things and playing with them until she has had enough with it and then replaces it. This doesnt really scare me, but if I ever see something moving around across the room, I am out of here."
Tynoa Marcel
Cries for help in 1800s house
"An empty lot is all that is left where the creepy old cypress home where its upstairs dormers once stood. Only ashes under a well-kept lawn remain. The story starts when my father was hired to remodel the old 1800s antique. I was just a kid, but worked part-time to help. The remodeling crew often heard voices calling out for help and thought other crewmembers were playing games with them when they denied having done it.
"Mr. Adolf Hebert was working in the back yard when he and another worker heard the same thing! No other workers were in the old house at that time. The next morning, Mr. Hebert was first to start work when he heard, ëAdolf I need your help! coming from the locked upstairs rooms.
"He dropped his tools and refused to return to the house. The next day, my father heard his name called out from upstairs also. Upon going up the creaky old stairs, he found no one there. After putting down a new tile floor in the kitchen, we returned the next day to find a large pool of blood on the kitchen floor that trailed to an intact, locked window. I left the house and refused to help with the clean up. My father turned over the house keys to the owners and never returned.
"Talking with the last owner of the old house revealed even more hair-raising stories. Myra Thibodaux bought the old house and her mother moved in. Her mother always told of hearing noises in the house. The old house caught fire and burned a few years later. Myra told me that not long after, her house next door caught fire and a neighbor saw a young girl running, screaming into the yard of the old house. The girl disappeared! Myra moved a new trailer onto the lot and soon, it burned down.
"I always felt a cold chill in that old house. I pass there on Bull Run Road often but will never stop."
Tim Rochel
'The ghosts find me
"I dont go out looking for the ghosts but I travel for work and thats how I find them. I dont go into cemeteries or do any of that macabre stuff but I have my equipment with me all the time. The ghosts find me. I have a ghostbuster machine I ordered off the Internet and Im an amateur ghostbuster. I strongly believe in ghosts; I have pictures and everything. There are three types of ghosts, those that experienced tragedy and dont know theyre dead; those that died while performing a task and have a message; and poltergeists, which can kill you.
"I can even tell you how to get rid of a ghost. You say, 'You are bothering me. You cannot control this world. You have to go into the light for eternal peace. Then you bless them with holy water. They either go into the light or not."
Dont go out after dark
"I have had two experiences with ghosts. When I was growing up they used to talk about the rougarous, a ghost, and the rougarous would be passing and it would see somebody at a place and then they would leave and then when they would get where they were at the rougarous was there too. Very creepy.
"Also when I was growing up people used to hear voices, people talking in the woods, and I experienced that one time. We were walking down on Shrimpers Row, me and my cousin, and we could hear people talking. But when you got to where the sound was you couldnt hear it. Then we passed and heard it again. My mother used to warn us not to go out after dark."
Peter Verdin
Cold spots and cow bells
"Sometimes I just feel a presence in here. We work in an old building, the Lafourche Parish Tourist Commission, that used to be the Marita Bread Depot and its the original building. Its just always kind of creepy. We have cold spots. We hear doors closing sometimes, things are out of place. You put things down somewhere and theyre not where you put them later on.
But I used to work at Oak Alley Plantation on River Road, and that was a lot scarier than this place. I worked there 11 years and a lot things unexplained went on there. They have a whole bunch of documentation about it too. I worked in the house as a guide and one time I was literally pushed off my feet and there was nobody there. Sometimes you can hear the horses, like a carriage is coming, but its just a cloud of dust.
"One time there was a cattle ranch there and you could hear the cowbells and children playing. Oak Alley is also famous for the woman in black. I never saw her but there were people I worked with who had. That place there has a load of ghost stories."

I thought you were relegated to the education beat?
Yes - how ridiculous that any black person could possibly have an opinion that doesn't line up with the Democratic party. We all know they're supposed to vote 97% Democratic. What's the matter with them anyways?!?!Hide replies
I know, how racist of Kane.
FBR's Fake Black Republicans. Romney has a huge support base of FBR's. In Madison and Milwaukee alone FBR's are expected to achieve 99% of black voter support for Romney. Lets show that fake support for the 1%.
"Black Republicans slam Obama. Who are these folks, anyway?"
Eugenie, shouldn't that read "Black* Republicans..."?
Have you forgotten Pimentel's Law?
You're right EK. These folks obviously got off the plantation. Quick, send out the dogs.
A political ad out of context? No way!!!
Black Republicans slam Obama? How about American Citizen's criticize Obama? Nahh...it's always better to stir the racial pot.
Why they're Uncle Tom's, right? They surely can't be 'real' black folks...
"Who are these folks, anyway?"
Easy...Since they are NOT Black Democrats, these Blacks aren't racists.
Responsible Americans. That's who they are.

PROS / It packs a lot of features into a small camcorder, including an impressive enhanced optical zoom.
CONS / This camcorder only records in standard definition, and the hard drive capacity is a little small.
VERDICT / The Panasonic SDR-H100K is an affordable SD hard drive camcorder with quality features.
The affordably priced Panasonic SDR-H100K has many features packed into its small and lightweight body, including solid standard-definition (SD) recording, digital stills, Intelligent Auto (iA), an impressive 78x enhanced optical zoom and more. However, this hard drive camcorder doesn't shoot in HD, the digital photos are low resolution and the hard drive capacity is small compared to similar units.
One of the standout features is the iA (intelligent Auto) function, which will adjust the hard drive camcorder's exposure and focus automatically, depending on the lighting conditions, such as whether you're inside or outside, if it's sunny or cloudy, and so forth. It performs these functions a little faster than the normal automatic settings found on similar camcorders.
The Panasonic SDR-H100K also features a very impressive 78x enhanced optical zoom, allowing it to zoom a little further than the 70x of optical zoom, along with a wide-angle lens at 33 mm. When the camcorder is zoomed all the way out, the wide angle gives more perspective than a normal lens will, and can capture more of the scene and subjects in your shot. Of course, when zoomed all the way in, your video will get shakier if you're holding the camera. That's where the advanced optical image stabilizer (OIS) comes in, ensuring your video stays nice and smooth. The digital zoom can hit 3500x, at which point all you're seeing are large, blurry pixels.
The SDR-H100K hard drive camcorder shoots SD video, in addition to capturing digital photos. It records in both MPEG-2, similar to how HDV records high definition, and H.264/AVC, which is the basis for the very popular AVCHD format.
It features an SD card, a USB 2.0 port and an AV-out connection, along with an AC adaptor, AV and USB cables and a rechargeable battery pack. The LCD is bright and the menus are easy to navigate through.
This hard drive camcorder records in standard-definition video, with maximum resolution of 720 x 480. While it can capture digital photos, the resolution is very low, at 0.3 megapixels (MP) for 640 x 480 stills, and 0.2 MP for 640 x 360 widescreen stills.
The video records in three different settings, adding more compression, which leads to lower quality. These include XP (10 Mbps/VBR – megabits per second/variable bit rate), which is the best, followed by SP (5 Mbps/VBR) and LP (2.5 Mbps/VBR), which is the highest compression and the lowest quality.
The hard drive's capacity is 80GB, which can be considered small when compared to some of the newer hard drive camcorders sporting 220GB hard drives. You can hold up to 30 hours of SD footage on it, depending on the quality setting you choose. Less video will be stored if you shoot at the highest image quality setting.
There are several help and support options with the Panasonic SDR-H100K hard drive camcorder, including a user manual, tutorials, a FAQs page and a one-year warranty. You can contact Panasonic by telephone, email and live chat if you have questions or need technical support.
While the very affordable Panasonic SDR-H100K does shoot quality standard-definition video, it doesn't support high-definition shooting. The 78x enhanced optical zoom is nice, but the digital photos are of very low resolution at 0.3 megapixels.

Clock and watch repair courses are centered on timepiece repair and maintenance. For those who are planning to be in the timepiece repair industry, there are specific courses that you can participate in. If you enjoy working with antique clocks and watches as a hobby, repairing your own clocks and watch collections or are interested in starting a clock and watch repair business. The profession calls for attention to detail, good eye sight and troubleshooting skills. The training focuses on the mechanism of clocks and watches namely how they work, the schematics on each type of timepieces, the electrical design for some watches as well as the maintenance of large clocks. There would also be some field training in repairing as well as in handling antique clocks and large timepieces. Digital clocks and watches would also be included in the clock and watch repair training course. The clock repair course may also focus on development and manufacturing of new clocks and watches, as well as how to take care of and repair antique clocks which are often valued heirlooms.
Clock and Watch Repair Training and Education
Horology is defined as the art of making clocks and watches. After weeks of training, students will be given certificates and branded as certified clock and watch repairmen. The students are expected to know the concepts of watch repair as well as to know how to troubleshoot each type of timepiece.
Students are expected to know the difference in the mechanics of old clocks and brand new ones while understanding how to maintain the integrity of the timepiece. Students who are engaged in Clock and watch repair training are also expected to know the importance of each part in a time piece while not damaging its exterior casing. Classes may include:
- Basic Watch Repair
- Polishing and Refinishing Watches and Clocks
- Modern Automatic Watches and Clocks
- Identifying Counterfeit Clocks and Watches
- Small Business Management
- Customer Service
There are also training courses in repairing simple parts and accessories of clocks and watches. Such watch repair courses are aimed at improving the student's understanding in creating watches and how designs of items are embedded in the watch.
For example, there is a special training in removing and changing straps. Since straps for watches are based on different units, brands and designs, the training would consist of different brands of watches. Usually, the watch repair courses would also include a manual for each brand of watch so that the student would know the different designs and basics for each watch.
Clock and Watch Repair Design Careers
Since most watches have different features such as lighting, pulse rate detection, GPS and world time settings, students would learn the different methods and how to synchronize and repair such features. For the lighting, students would learn how to remove the lights or small bulbs in a watch.
The students would experience how to install different kinds of lighting and effects in a watch. In terms of pulse rate detection and GPS settings, the student would learn how such features work and how to set such features. In terms of world time, the students would also learn about setting them to specific intervals.

Letter From PTO President
Asalamu Alaykum DU families,
On behalf of the DU Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), I would like to take this opportunity to welcome each of you and your families to Daarul Uloom Islamic School. To our new families, hello and welcome to our wonderful school. I look forward to meeting you and getting to know those who I haven't met. Our students are fortunate to be enrolled in a school with outstanding administration and exceptional teachers. We strive to fulfill the schools mission of promoting health, wellbeing and educational success on a foundation of Islamic values. It is through your support of the PTO that we join in that mission.
My name is Hanan Juma and I will be the new PTO President for the 2015-16 school year. I've been in the PTO for 3 consecutive years as Pizza Lunch coordinator and this is my first year as the President! I'm writing this letter to introduce myself and to encourage you to consider being part of a volunteer community that supports your children's education in numerous ways! I look forward to serving in this capacity and hope to be able to continue the enjoyable, fun, and educational PTO sponsored events of the past. In order to be successful we need your help as volunteers. So please look over the events and sign up to help. Over 500 independent studies on parent involvement show that students whose parents are involved in their education have better grades and fewer discipline problems. It is also a great way to meet families and help us support our great school. Together we can make this one of the best school years for DU and for our children.
Getting to know your PTO better…
The PTO functions to provide funds, programs, and resources to enrich your child's experience as a DU student. This year, Alhamdulillah, we have a great group of parents that meet to plan and coordinate the activities for the year. This includes Pizza Lunches, Hot Lunches, Box Tops, Eid Carnival, Family Reading Night, students' honors party, Olympic Day, Spring Program, Graduation Program, and much more. A large part of the PTO time is spent on fundraising so that we are able to provide services not covered by the school budget. Items sold by the PTO are aimed at creating a budget for such events and to expand teachers' resources in the classroom. It is important that we have volunteers to continue carrying out these objectives.
Once again, Daarul Uloom PTO would like to extend a warm welcome and prayers for a successful school year and we looking forward to getting to know all of you.
If you have any questions or want to get involved please contact us at email@example.com.
Hanan Juma (PTO President)
