Skip to comments.Bin Laden Expert: Muslim Tradition to Offer Truce Before Attack
Posted on 01/21/2006 5:18:21 PM PST by FairOpinion
The former chief of the CIAs Osama bin Laden unit says bin Ladens truce offer comes from a long-established Muslim tradition of warfare -- sending a clear signal to the United States that an al Qaeda attack is more than likely.
Twenty-two-year CIA veteran Michael Scheuer, who wrote Imperial Hubris: Why the West Is Losing the War on Terror, says bin Laden has offered his final warning before launching his next strike.
Warning your enemy before you attack him is very much a tradition in Islam from the prophet to the times when Saladin was fighting the Crusaders, he would warn them, he would offer them a truce, he would try to go the extra mile before attacking him, Scheuer said on The OReilly Factor Thursday.
So I think it's very important that we understand the context in which bin Laden is speaking, Scheuer continued, because I've heard other people today already saying that he's offering a truce because it's a sign of weakness, because we're beating him. And I think that's pretty far from the truth.
Following Al-Jazeeras disclosure of the tape yesterday, several bin Laden experts -- including journalist Richard Miniter on Human Events Online -- dismissed bin Ladens latest message as nothing more than a bid to reassert himself as the worlds preeminent terrorist.
I asked two experts on the Middle East and Islam their thoughts about Scheuers assertion. They cited historical parallels to Scheuers contention.
Robert Spencer, director of Jihad Watch and author of The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades), told me: Traditional Islamic theology actually does support the idea that Osama was asking for a truce because he perceives weakness in his ranks.
Spencer pointed me to a passage (below) from Umdat al-Salik (Reliance of the Traveller), a Shafi'i Sharia manual endorsed by Al-Azhar University in Cairo as conforming to the "practice and faith of the orthodox Sunni community." Heres what it says:
Truces are permissible, not obligatory. ... Interests that justify making a truce are such things as Muslim weakness because of lack of numbers or materiel, or the hope of an enemy becoming Muslim. ... If the Muslims are weak, a truce may be made for ten years if necessary, for the Prophet (may Allah bless him and give him peace) made a truce with the Quraysh for that long, as is related by Abu Dawud. ... The rulings of such a truce are inferable from those of the non-Muslim poll tax; namely, that when a valid truce has been effected, no harm may be done to non-Muslims until it expires.
A second scholar, Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum, told me: Bin Ladin has a history of making threats he did not carry out -- for example, versus Israel after the execution of Ahmed Yassin. It is more useful to see his tape as an attempt to stay relevant than in the tradition of Muslim warfare.
Can you hear the Dems saying after we kill Bin Laden -- "Evil Bush killed Bin Laden after Bin Laden offered a truce. Evil Bush killed a "reformed" terrorist" Shades of Tookie Williams.
American tradition is to shoot first and ask questions later.
Did I miss something?
They have been murdering innocents for decades. HOW THE HELL DOES THIS MONSTERS RANTS change a DAMN THING?
It is now OUR CUSTOM to KILL them.
"Arabs are notorious for making boasts they cannot back up."
Remember Baghdad Bob?
The reason Usama bin Laden is offerering a truce is because Bush is hurting him and he needs a breather to regroup.
I hope the President won't give him one and I don't think he will.
Funny I don't recall that he offered a truce prior to 9-11.
I didn't see it in the article, so I'll ask.
Did he offer a truce before 9/11?
The proposed truce serves many functions. It allows time to gather forces to prepare for attack. It lulls your opponent into carelessness. And it salves the conscience, such as may exist, of the conqueror, because he gave the subjected people "one last chance" before he killed them.
In any case, the offer of a truce is almost certainly a prelude to attack. I would say some time between 12-18 months from now.
Isn't it nice to know that militant Islamist terrorists have a sense of propriety and ethical obligation? Makes my heart warm to know that the war is being conducted with such chivalry.
Before Bali
Before Spain
Before London
What a crock, just some know nothing trying to add to the terror quotient.
I must have missed the warning before 9/11. Scheuer is an idiot. Is there any wonder why the USA was completely unprepared for the WTC attacks with people like Micheal Scheuer and Richard Clarke working in the intelligence agencies.
The actual Islamic tradition is to offer a truce when you've been beaten and need time to regroup, re-arm, and plan for the next offensive. See "Arafat".
Scheuer seems to be trying to position the left into being able to say "I told you so" if a nuclear 9-11 happens after we attack Iran or whatever.
Little does he know that the left is over in the USA if even a car bomb goes off in this country.
This is such a charming culture.Full of such fine traditions. 'Specially love the one about it being ok to decieve in the name of Allah. I like our traditions: "Power resides at the end of a gun."
"Did he offer a truce before 9/11?"
He doesnt speak for all of islamo facism either.
He doesnt have that kind of power.
It's also standard to offer a truce when someone is kicking your ass.
What we were discussing.
[The actual Islamic tradition is to offer a truce when you've been beaten and need time to regroup, re-arm, and plan for the next offensive. See "Arafat".]
Correct. Now is the time to liberate Iran after which the Saudis will have to do our bidding or we will just give the Saudi oil fields to the Shiites as well as Iraq and Iran.
Well, Mr. Scheuer, since you were still working for the goverment then, before you wrote you book and took the money, how is it that YOU missed the "signal" before 9-11 -- and what the HELL was the offer?
I think this is the time...but the Saudi's (Wahabbist's) and the Twelvers (Mahdi Shiites) are basically the same.
If the Administration doesn't understand the religious aspect of this war...they cannot understand the MO of the enemy.
Jimmah Cahtah would have called it a diplomatic breakthrough.
Thanks for the ping RR.
"If you give up now, I'll stop beating your fist to a pulp with my face."
Thanks, Cindy
This is something we have been discussing on the TM.
Most all of the so called experts have really been down playing this.
I fear it is a big mistake.
The nut-case is tossing red meat to the MSM and the lib-weenie bloc, hoping for backlash against GWB.
Bin Laden is tired, scared, and grasping for straws. I bet he hears the footsteps getting closer. We are going to smoke his a$$ soon.
Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.
Bin laden did not offer a truce, he said he would accept a truce offered by the USA, which we are not offering.
That an offer of truce is a harbinger of a coming attack---it's counter-intuitive, and that's not to say it's invalid, but in this case I think it's wrong. More likely bin Laden is in contact with some other party that has assured him they are preparing an imminent attack on America, and a spectacular one at that; and he believes them, because he wants to believe them. Bin Laden is a fanatic, and fanatics are the easiest people to fool.
I think he was a one-trick pony, and is regarded as such even in his own shrinking circle. He and al Qaeda can never follow their own act of 9/11. Otherwise we'd hear from him every week, and he'd be taking credit for spectacular terrorist triumphs every month.
Think about it. One scratchy audio tape after a year of oblivion. Is that the signature of a world-beater?
They do survive; like roaches you can exterminate 90%, they survive and they do intend harm and they do continue to stir up fools and patsies in the Arab world. But they are in retreat. Clearly in retreat.
It's been over four years since they sucker-punched us. The Bush Doctrine is working, working very well. Bin Laden is begging for mercy the way devils always beg, by making it sound like an offer of clemency.
I don't think that AQ has what it takes (right now) to do a major, 911 style attack on the USA.
That's not to say it can't cause trouble, and lots of it, provided they have enough agents willing to sacrifice their lives on the ground.
Provided you have the agents in place, just how difficult is it to rig 10 or 12 suicide bombers all around the USA to detonate during lunch hour or evening rush hour in a half dozen major cities?
Follow it the next day with 10 or 12 suicide bombers in another half dozen cities.
The day after that, repeat.
That's only about 30-36 agents - granted they can only do that trick once. Say they go to that well every day for a week. Then start doing every other day. Then every three days. Mix it up.
That would really freak out most people in the USA, and given conventional methods we really couldn't stop it, could we?
Does AQ have enough good, loyal soldiers to keep something like that up?
That's actually a Chinese tradition/observation.
It's a no-brainer Osama. We DO NOT negotiate with terrorists. We kill them.
You're welcome RR.
OPINION: I am not any more or any less concerned with the terrorist threats. AQ is weakened, but jihadis, like gang bangers, like any terrorist by any name; will take the opportunity to do their evil deeds if they are prepared and if the opportunity presents itself.
Prayer is powerful and that's where my comfort comes from.
He has never offered a truce before. He is just rattled from his number 2 guy getting taken out and how the CIA was able to learn of the meeting on the afghan border. He is scared now and talking like a scared man.
Scheur is a rat hack moron.
He hasn't gotten the memo that the CIA had better watch its back because the kind of partisan crap that he and his fellow weasels were engaged in won't be tolerated.
I would submit that it is an exercise in futility to attempt to apply rules of logic to bin Laden.
It would however be useful to aply MOABs to him!

No definitive explanation for the form of the relationship between species diversity and ecosystem productivity exists nor is there agreement on the mechanisms linking diversity and productivity across scales. Here, we examine changes in the form of the diversity–productivity relationship within and across the plant communities at three observational scales: plots, alliances, and physiognomic vegetation types (PVTs). Vascular plant richness data are from 4,760 20 m2 vegetation field plots. Productivity estimates in grams carbon per square meter are from annual net primary productivity (ANPP) models. Analyses with generalized linear models confirm scale dependence in the species diversity–productivity relationship. At the plot focus, the observed diversity–productivity relationship was weak. When plot data were aggregated to a focus of vegetation alliances, a hump-shaped relationship was observed. Species turnover among plots cannot explain the observed hump-shaped relationship at the alliance focus because we used mean plot richness across plots as our index of species richness for alliances and PVTs. The sorting of alliances along the productivity gradient appears to follow regional patterns of moisture availability, with alliances that occupy dry environments occurring within the increasing phase of the hump-shaped pattern, alliances that occupy mesic to hydric environments occurring near the top or in the decreasing phase of the curve, and alliances that occupy the wettest environments having the fewest species and the highest ANPP. This pattern is consistent with the intermediate productivity theory but appears to be inconsistent with the predictions of water–energy theory.

Where is the disclaimer, Once you change it, there's no going back!
I agree, looks cleaner. I use an ipad for the Huddle and never have been able to see the toolbar in my reply box. I'm not sure if its a setting on my end or not?
I like it. It's a lot smoother.
Nice to have the option, but I kind of prefer the original.
Kinda boring. Needs more pizazz.
I like it.
anyway we can bring back the feature that shows the threads you've posted in...other than the new content thing that is?
thought before there was an indicator in each thread that would show differently on the threads you posted in???
when a post gets pie, the ruler below the "given pie by" line is gray.
This makes the 'given pie by" line visually run into the post after it.
pie sucks...bring back the personal rep!!!!
pie sucks...bring back the personal rep!!!!
Or more neg rep.
neg rep still works - check
It would be nice for a theme option that substitutes the white background in the text area for a nice mild gray thats easier on the eyes of people using larger screens.

* Euro slumps after Spanish rating downgrade * Spain expected to request aid package at weekend - sources * Weak Italian, German economic data adds to gloom * Euro posts weekly gains of 0.6 percent By Gertrude Chavez-Dreyfuss NEW YORK, June 8 The euro fell against the U.S. dollar o n F riday after a three-notch downgrade to Spain's credit rating and signs of economic weakness in Italy and Germany, leaving the single currency vulnerable as euro zone risks increased. Despite Friday's losses, the euro was on track for its best weekly performance since April 22, posting gains after five straight weeks of declines. Analysts, however, were convinced gains would be short-lived as investors sought to square up ahead of the weekend. European Union and German sources told Reuters Spain was expected to ask for an aid package over the weekend to prop up its troubled banks.. Rating agency Fitch slashed Spain's credit rating on Thursday, leaving it just two notches above junk status. It signaled further downgrades could come as the country tries to restructure its troubled banking system. "We have come to the edge of the cliff. There are so many issues in Europe now," said Simon Smollett, senior currency options strategist at Credit Agricole in London. "We're all waiting for the Greek elections and when that's over, we have Spain." Last month's Greek election resulted in no party achieving the 50 percent threshold needed to achieve a majority. Greece was also unable to form a coalition government, setting up the next round of elections on June 17. A victory for anti-bailout parties would raise the possibility of Greece leaving the currency union. The euro was last down 0.4 percent at $1.2514, retreating from a two-week high of $1.2625 hit on Thursday after a surprise interest rate cut by the Chinese central bank. More losses would leave the euro vulnerable to a test of the 23-month low of $1.2286 hit on June 1, based on Reuters data, after failing to break above chart resistance at $1.2623, the January low. The euro also took a hit after Italian industrial production fell far more than expected in April and German imports tumbled at their fastest rate in two years, adding to euro zone recession concerns. But the common currency came off its lows after China said it would cut fuel prices by nearly 6 percent from Saturday, which some traders saw as another positive step that may help stimulate China's economy. The euro fell 0.7 percent against the yen to 99.34 yen. The safe-haven Japanese currency gained broadly as market sentiment declined, with the dollar losing 0.3 percent to 79.75 yen. But the euro still posted its best week versus the yen since late February, with a gain of 2.3 percent. "We are now less confident that the euro zone will continue to muddle through," said global macro hedge fund GLC Ltd in London. "The countries that need to make the biggest adjustment have the weakest economies. In addition, austerity fatigue is spreading." GLC, which manages assets of about $1 billion, has taken risky trades off the table and even if news out of Europe improves and the euro spikes as a result, it would look to short the currency. Currencies with more perceived risk were also under pressure after U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke offered no hints of imminent monetary stimulus in his testimony to Congress on Thursday, upsetting some market players who had positioned for a dovish statement. The higher-yielding Australian dollar was flat on the day against the U.S. currency at US$0.9895. Thomson Reuters on Friday released its monthly foreign exchange trading volumes for May 2012. May average daily volume was $154 billion, up from $130 billion in April but down from the $161 billion reported in May, 2011. ICAP said on Friday that average daily spot FX volumes on the EBS platform, which competes with Thomson Reuters, were $130.8 billion for May.

Used 1997 Lexus SUV Values
The first appearance of Lexus badging on a sport utility vehicle (SUV) appeared in 1995. Called the Lexus LX 450, the luxury sport utility vehicle was a retuned version of the Toyota Land Cruiser boasting only minor adjustments. As a luxury brand devoted to cars until the LX 450's debut, Lexus was one of the first premium marques to branch out their product line in such a manner. First sold with a 4.5-liter six-cylinder engine providing only moderate momentum, a 1998 introduction of an upgraded Lexus LX 470 brought forth a greatly-appreciated V-8 powerplant. Lexus was also an early adopter to the premium crossover utility philosophy in the late 1990s with the RX. The Lexus RX's stylish exterior, car-like ride and high occupant comfort made the luxury crossover an immediate hit. Serving as a mid-sized sport utility vehicle alternative to the LX, the Lexus GX accommodates up to seven passengers and operates with an ambitious four-wheel drive system capable of off-roading. Standing for "Nimble Crossover", the Lexus NX is the newest addition to the luxury utility line-up existing as a compact entry-level vehicle.

Hi all,
I'm using WP3.0, and I'm very excited about the new Custom Post Types and Taxonomies support (I'm using GD Custom Posts And Taxonomies Tools), but I have some questions as to how they all tie in with templates.
I understand from the codex, that "single-<posttype>.php" will work for posts posted in a particular post type, but what about archives for each post type? Do I just call my template "posttype.php", and it will work? I tried it but it didn't seem to work... Is it using "archive.php" by default?
What I have done, which seems cumbersome, is to create a custom template with my custom query to load all posts that correspond to the specific custom type, and then create a page linked to the custom template...
How come it's so easy to create the templates for the singles, but so hard for the archives?

The episode opens on a playground at night. Drusilla approaches and talks to a young boy named James, intending to feed on him. Angel stops her and sends the boy home; realizing that if Drusilla and Spike remain in Sunnydale, a fight with them is inevitable, he tries to persuade Drusilla to leave town with Spike, to no avail. While Dru and Angel are talking, Buffy sees them from a distance, sparking her curiosity and her jealousy.
The next day, Jenny Calendar is teasing Giles about their date. Buffy reports her patrolling, but omits any Angel references. Later in class she passes notes to Willow about the Angel-Drusilla sighting while the rest of the class is discussing Marie Antoinette. In the hallways, Xander tries to make his way into the conversation but fails, just as another young man sneaks up behind Buffy and surprises her. She introduces him to Willow and Xander as her friend Ford (Billy Fordham), with whom she attended school in Los Angeles. He explains that his dad has been transferred and he's finishing his senior year at Sunnydale High. They make plans to go to the Bronze that night before Buffy walks Ford to the admissions office.
That night at the Bronze, Ford entertains Willow and Xander with embarrassing stories about Buffy. Buffy runs into Angel. She introduces Angel to Ford, whom Angel obviously doesn't trust from the beginning. The awkwardness prompts Buffy to ask Ford to take a walk with her and she says goodbye to her friend. As the two walk out, Angel is clearly jealous and confused as to what he's done to make her angry.
In the alley behind the Bronze, Buffy hears suspicious clattering around a corner. She asks Ford to leave and then runs around toward the sound. Ford heads toward the Bronze just for a second before turning back and following Buffy, where he watches her stake a vampire. Ford reveals that he knows that she is the Slayer. Later, Ford goes to an industrial warehouse. From the scenery, the building is some sort of club for a subculture. Ford walks down the stairs and begins discussing the details of some unnamed event with his friend Marvin (aka Diego), who is upset about not knowing the details of the plan.
Also that night, Angel shows up at Willow's bedroom. He asks for help tracking down Ford on the internet. Willow indirectly accuses him of being jealous, which he partially admits. She quickly finds that Ford is not actually registered at Sunnydale High. Angel has to leave before her mom finds him, but Willow agrees to keep searching and to not tell Buffy what they are doing.
The next day at school, Willow is awkward and jittery when she runs into Buffy and Ford, but Buffy shrugs it off. Next, Buffy and Ford run into Giles. Buffy tells Giles that Ford knows about her vampire slaying. He accuses her of using her identity to impress cute boys, but she explains that Ford already knew. That night, Buffy gives Ford a tour of the small town when they see two vampires running onto campus. They follow the vampires, but one gets behind Buffy and attacks before she sees him, pushing her out of sight of Ford and the other vampire. Ford holds a stake to the vampire's heart and threatens to kill her unless she does what he wants. Buffy stakes the first vampire, and when she finds Ford again he claims to have killed the other vampire. Meanwhile, Xander, Willow and Angel visit the industrial building used by Ford and his friends. Claiming to be friends of Ford's, they are let in and see the strange cult living there. They notice a pro-vampire motif just before one girl talks to them about those she calls "the lonely ones." She explains that they are misunderstood creatures and Angel can't help but scoff at her delusions. She is offended and walks away. Angel claims to have seen cults like this before. Ranting on their way out, they are overheard by Diego, Ford's friend.
Buffy goes back to the library and meets Giles and Mrs. Calendar. They try to think about what the vampires could have been up to when Buffy sees a picture of Drusilla among Giles' research. She recognizes it as the girl with whom she saw Angel two days before and asks who she is. Giles explains that she was Spike's lover, allegedly killed by an angry mob in Prague, but Buffy tells him that she is still alive and that she saw her with Angel. Soon, a vampire storms out of Giles' study with a book. She sprints for the door and makes it before anyone can stop her. Buffy recognizes her as the vampire Ford said he had killed.
At that moment, Spike and Drusilla are discussing her meeting with Angel, but are interrupted when Ford sneaks in. Ford asks to be made a vampire, but the idea doesn't interest Spike, until Ford explains that he can give them the Slayer.
Later that night, Angel comes to Buffy's house to tell her about Ford's group, but she starts interrogating him about Drusilla instead. Buffy demands the truth about her and her relationship with Angel. He explains that Drusilla was the worst of all the terrible things he did in the past. He is Drusilla's sire, but before making her a vampire, he tortured her into insanity by killing everyone she loved before biting her. Buffy is obviously upset by the intensity of Angel's past life, but accepts it. He tells her about the vampire cult Ford is in, but that he doesn't know their plans. She is upset that he, Willow, and Xander were doing recon behind her back, which creates an awkward silence.
At school the next morning, Ford asks Buffy to hang out again, but won't tell her what he has planned. Buffy pretends she doesn't suspect anything. However, she doesn't wait to meet Ford as planned and goes to his club. He is talking to his followers when Buffy comes in and tells him his plan isn't going to work. Ford explains that he was counting on Buffy figuring out his plan and coming to meet him. Buffy pleads with him to let the others go. Ford interrupts to tell her that he has brain cancer and will be dead within six months; becoming a vampire is the only way he can avoid irrevocable death. He then admits to her that the other people will not be changed.
Within minutes of sunset, the vampires arrive, who immediately begins feeding. Ford starts fighting Buffy, but she swings him into a metal beam and he falls down, knocked out. While the rest of the vampires are feeding, Drusilla waits on the platform above the main area. Buffy sees her alone, rushes through the crowd and jumps up to the platform, where she immediately overtakes Drusilla and prepares to stake her. She yells out to Spike, who immediately orders everyone to stop feeding. Buffy demands that they let everyone go, which Spike agrees to. The former vampire worshippers flee and Buffy follows. Ford is still unconscious on the floor as Buffy closes the door, locking all the vampires inside with him. Ford awakens, and confronts Spike—the Slayer may have gotten away, but Ford held up his end of the bargain by handing her over. He demands that Spike holds up his end of the bargain and sire him.
A few nights later Buffy and Giles are waiting over Ford's grave. Just then Ford's vampire self emerges and Buffy stakes her former friend. Buffy then asks if [life] gets any easier, and Giles asks Buffy what she wants him to say. She responds, "Lie to me." Giles replies:
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true. The bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats and we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.
Buffy retorts, "Liar."
"Lie to Me" had an audience of 3.4 million households on its original airing.[1]
Cultural references[edit]
Buffy mentions a song by an Australian rock band:[2]
It was terrible. I moped over you for months. Sitting in my room listening to that Divinyls song "I Touch Myself". Of course, I had no idea what it was about.
Arc significance[edit]
- This episode marks the first appearance of the character "Chanterelle", who will reappear in the Season Three premiere as "Lily" and will become a minor, recurring character in Angel under the name Anne Steele[2] (given to her by Buffy in "Anne").
- The Scoobies become aware of Drusilla.[2]
- This episode is also where Angel's connection to Drusilla is revealed.[2] He shows he retains affection for her by trying to persuade her to leave Sunnydale with Spike, not because he thinks he and Buffy can't fight them but because, despite their evil activities, he does not want to fight them.
- The book stolen by the vampire will come into significance in "What's My Line", a two-part episode.
- Willow invites Angel into her house.
- Buffy tells Ford that, contrary to what he thinks about vampirism: "You die, and a demon sets up shop in your old house, and it walks, and it talks, and it remembers your life, but it's not you." This notwithstanding, in most episodes (both of Buffy and of spin-off series Angel) Buffyverse vampires usually behave as if they are indeed the people they were in life, except considerably crueller and more vicious, and most non-vampires tend to treat them as if this were the case; Buffy herself sometimes falls into this fallacy, as seen in her behavior toward vampirized Harmony Kendall, Angel's soulless incarnation Angelus, and others.

Inside Preps: Summer School For Hoops Officials
Published: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 2:45 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 2:46 a.m.
By AIMEE SACHS | THE LEDGER
It's not just the players who are trying to get back into shape for the season during the summer leagues.
It's also the officials who are getting their rhythm back.
Tuesday night at the Lakeland site of the John Sinclair Summer Basketball League, two veteran officials were on hand to work the games and train the younger refs.
"We have to do training just like they do because when the season comes, we have to be on our A game because the coaches don't give us any slack when we make a mistake out there," said Andrew Garrison, who has been a referee for three decades. "So we have to be ready."
Garrison, 55, is a retired staff sergeant in the Army Reserves and served in Desert Storm. The Bartow graduate had to sit out this past season after a knee replacement surgery and is still recovering, but that hasn't stopped him from evaluating other referees and training the younger officials.
"That's why we're here now to try to straighten it out now so that we don't carry it over to the regular season," Garrison said.
Dennis Duffy is another veteran official who worked two games Tuesday night. Duffy, 65, is also the president of the Lake Region Football Officials Association and now resides in Dade City.
"This is a relaxed atmosphere, so to speak," Duffy said of the summer league. "Coaches aren't usually too hyper, but at the same time it gives you a chance to work on your mechanics."
For Duffy, officiating is a way of life, and his wife always knows where he is.
"Some men go fishing, some men bowling, some men play golf," he said. "I officiate."
With half a century of officiating between Garrison and Duffy, the younger referees are lucky to have the experienced veterans impart their wisdom on them and make them better officials.
"Some nights, you'll have really good games, and some nights maybe not so good. But that's part of it," Duffy said. "You have to accept that. I always tell new officials coming in, it's not personal. At the time it may sound personal, but it's just part of the game."
There are people who believe that NBA officiating is rigged. But when it comes to officiating on the high school or youth level, referees are just trying to officiate a fair game.
That doesn't stop some coaches from losing their cool when they don't like a call, or blaming calls on their team's loss. But in a close game that comes down to a few points, it's not the referees who miss a jumper or the front end of a one-and-one that could have made the difference in the game.
You have to have a thick skin to be a referee, and you have to really love officiating to be around as long as Garrison and Duffy have. There will be a day when they hang their whistles up, and hopefully when that time comes the younger referees will make them proud.

6.8 rpg for my center? Meh. Would have preferred Perkins if he was available.

Wise words.
They're very deep. Our bench is going to need to step it up tonight.
I like it, but 8 games is still too small a sample size to draw any conclusions.

I like the Mo Williams/Lebron comparison. Great point.
I see what you did there.. but feel free to use the sarcasm in the game thread. :)
This is premature. We still have 21 games to play and the Heat have 19 games left. Plenty of time for seeding to change.
What about a 15 footer, layup or an open lane to the basket?

I typically jog in a rural area. Sometimes when I meet a car, I am forced to move off of the highway and on to the grass. The grass basically being the extension of someones front yard. (Like where the mail box would be)
My question. Am I correct in thinking that I am in violation of SC Law when I step off the road and on to the grass? SC Law requires you to notify when armed on private property.
Thanks in advance.
Could be, but I think your in the right of way, so you could be ok.
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life. - Robert A. Heinlein
In Michigan, and I think most other states the state maintains a right of way that extends beyond the shoulder of the road. In Michigan o a typical 2 lane road the distance is 30' from the centerline of the road. Since most road lanes are 12-15 feet wide the right of way extends another 15 feet past the shoulder. Think of it this way, if they did not maintain control of this area you would be able to prevent the phone company from placing a telephone pole on your yard. As long as you are in the area reserved for the telephone poles, traffic signs and such you should be OK.
Of course I am not a laywer, and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.
Actually, I don't believe it does. It does require a carrier to remove their weapon if the property owner requests it, either verbally or with a sign as noted in the statute.
I don't know about gallant South Carolina, but in New Mexico the right of way extends 15' from the edge of the road.
"First gallant South Carolina nobly made the stand."

You're armed? Jogging and stepping on some grass while you move along?
I wouldl't even be thinking about it...not a problem worth thinking about for more than a few seconds.
Stay armed...enjoy the jog...stay safe!

I agree. I wouldnt worry about that either. I think youll be ok.

As already stated, you should be within the right of way , and be ok. Do how do you carry while jogging? I assume that it must be OC, since South Carolina doesn't recognize another state's permit, and doesn't offer nonresident permits, at least unless you own a small piece of land. If you cc, then there is a great product available, although I haven't seen one in several tears. It's similar to a fanny pack, except that it is secured to your chest rather than around the waist.
When in doubt empty the magazine.

LSU's Sam Montgomery injures leg
Updated: October 2, 2010, 4:17 PM ETAssociated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU starting defensive end Sam Montgomery was helped off the field with an apparent right leg injury during the first quarter of the 12th-ranked Tigers' home game against Tennessee on Saturday.
Montgomery, a redshirt freshman, was writhing in pain and threw off his helmet while trainers rushed to his side and started checking his leg. He put minimal pressure on the injured leg while being helped to the sideline, each of his arms over the shoulders of a trainer.

WASHINGTON A bipartisan group of U.S. Senators has agreed on a framework for immigration reform that would provide a "path to citizenship" for those in the United States illegally but only after measures are put in place to secure borders and track undocumented immigrants.
The document, made available to news organizations early on Monday and first reported by Politico, comes a day before President Barack Obama is to outline his proposals for immigration reform.
An outline of the proposal, which has not been put in legislative form, said it would allow those in the United States illegally to register with the government, pay a fine, and then be given probationary legal status allowing them to work.
Ultimately, they would have to "go to the end of the line" and apply for permanent status, according to the document drafted by eight Senators including Republican Marco Rubio of Florida and Democrat Charles Schumer of New York.
No one would be given more permanent legal status until new measures were implemented to stem the flow of immigrants across U.S. borders.
The path to citizenship would be "contingent" on setting up a new system for securing U.S. borders and new enforcement measures to track the status of immigrants who may have overstayed visas, the framework document said.
The proposal resembles previous immigration bills-including a 2007 measure that died in Congress in part because of disagreement over the timing of border enforcement measures versus so-called "path to citizenship" provisions for some of the 11 million undocumented migrants.

Okay, after spending a fair amount of time chasing various plugins, I've settled on
Category Access
to limit reading posts on the blog to those who are logged in.
Note1: I needed to post at least one entry to my "public" category to keep the one "private" post from showing up on the home page without regard to authentication.
Note2: Something's broken in the management of comments. Unless I deactivate the plugin, I don't see any info on the comment in either the Moderate or Manage Comments screen. But since I can click "edit" to see what's there, this isn't a big deal.
Other things I tried:
userextra/usermeta -
though it's documented to have a category access feature, I just couldn't get it to work at all. And it seemed to be more granular than I needed.
Private categories - http://dev.wp-plugins.org/browser/private-categories
that threw a php error and since it's a couple of years old I didn't spend too much time investigating.
The problem I'm trying to solve is how to make the WordPress install a private discussion with periodic postings available to the public as the discussion evolves. So I've got a special category "public," but all the other categories are protected from anonymous users and new users.
My thanks to David Coppit for the plugin.
If there are other options, I would still be interested in hearing others suggestions.

Former Shrine Bowl WR Casey Gladney signed with Tommy Tuberville out of Columbia High School when Tuberville was the coach at Texas Tech. After two years at East Mississippi JC, Gladney said early Wednesday morning he will sign later today with Tuberville at Cincinnati. Gladney had a brief flirtation with USC talking as recently as last weekend with recruiter GA Mangus about a possible offer. That had not come as of early Wednesday morning so Gladney said he will move forward with his plans to sign with the Bearcats.Tweet

2008 Clinton V. Obama: The Record
posted by January 24 at 15:04 PMon
While it's easy to focus on what candidates say they'll do when in office (each campaign's web site offers a long list of policy platform statements), it's a more instructive exercise (assuming you care about policy and not just personality or "likability") to look at the candidates' records in office and see how they line up against your personal priorities. The Guardian recently did a roundup of significant votes by Clinton and Obama, and, as you might guess, both candidates' records are mixed.
For example:
In 2005, Clinton voted against an energy bill that subsidized "clean coal" researchers and ethanol producers while Obama voted for itbecause he supported the subsidies.
Obama voted for new restrictions on cluster bombs (which tend to go off years after battle and frequently kill or wound civilians) while Clinton voted against it, possibly to avoid angering Israel and possibly because she bought arguments that restricting the bombs would tie military leaders' hands.
Obama voted for a Republican bill that barred law enforcement from confiscating civilians' guns during an emergency; Clinton voted against it.
Clinton opposed some key Bush appointments, including interior secretary Dirk Kempthorne (who received a
100 percent one percent, duh! lifetime score from the League of Conservation Voters) and army chief of staff George Casey; Obama voted for them.
Clinton voted against an ethics bill Obama sponsored, arguing that it still allows members of Congress and their aides to attend parties thrown by lobbyists; but she voted against reforms that would have made the legislation stronger.
Bonus: No pro-HRC commentary! Feel free to fire away about what you think I'm ignoring in the comments.

I have an Elitegroup 7050-M v1.0a motherboard and I've used the Realtek HD audio driver it came with for years under Windows XP. There was a nice mixer panel, an equalizer and sound profiles that added effects. All of these menus are gone now that I've moved on to Windows 7 64 Bit. All I have is the basic settings under system control -> sound, but they are not nearly as detailed.
To clarify: Sound works, but the advanced settings I got when using older OS's are gone.
Older drivers don't seem to work under Win7 and I can't find one for Win7. So how can I fully utilize the capabilities of my HD sound chip under Win7?

I'm using wp_insert_post in a loop to insert 500 posts in a new WP install. It works quickly, and memory usage is from 25M to 28M. The next run of a second batch of 500 posts, takes the memory from 25M to 178M. So the memory usage seems to be based on how many posts are already in the table. A third run of 500 posts exhausts the available memory. What is being stored to increase the memory that I can cleanup?
Did some profiling, it was the 5k+ queries being stored in the $wpdb->queries array.

Aug 7, 2013Really beautiful little game. The art alone is reason enough to play this game, and it's the reason I keep coming back to it. That combined with a steep learning curve that forces you to improve as a player and invest time into the game makes this the first mobile game that hasn't felt like time wasting. x
Jun 25, 2013Great dungeon romp, the animations are brilliant too. Some of the end level bosses are incredibly challenging, though! Great fun, the best RPG I've got on my iPhone. Recommended!
Aug 7, 2013This game looks lovely and plays lovely. It's also super hard but always feels fair. There's a paywall 5 dungeons in which gives you plenty of content if you're a free player but also makes it feel properly worth it if/when you buy the dungeon expansion
Oct 14, 2013Really funny game, i like the pixel art of this game, it would be a nice experience to any RPG lover. Sometimes it get crash on my 3GS but rarely happens so.... I recommend it n.n
Awards & Rankings
Jul 10, 2013A great experience that tries to bring back the classic, dice-based rol games. It's a long and solid game that won't disappoint its audience.
Jun 25, 2013Each dungeon has its own theme and unique enemies, but once you learn the enemy patterns there is little incentive to go back through one you've already completed. Even the infinite dungeon recycles enemies from the rest of the game, making Deep Dungeons of Doom a fleeting but fun mobile adventure.
Jun 18, 2013If Deep Dungeons of Doom ultimately feels a tiny bit hollow, this may in part be due to its dazzling presentation.

Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival Review PS4
Dino Dini's Kick Off Revival is a bad game. If you want a retro take on football, this is not it. If you want a retro take on how to make a terrible game, you're in luck.
Umbrella Corps Review PS4
A confused and confusing shooter which can't capitalise on the famous franchise it leans on.
Asemblance Review PS4
At the moment Asemblance is an interesting diversion, but it promises to be much more. Whether it fulfils that promise will depend on what mysteries can be solved.
Mighty No. 9 Review PS4
Regardless of how much you like the Mega Man series, in Mighty No.9 you're unlikely to find a game that comes close to that legacy.
Trials of the Blood Dragon Review PS4
In the end this feels like an attempt to sell Trials to new players, but newcomers aren't going to learn what makes the core games so much fun and old-timers will be wondering what is going on.
Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter Review PS4
A decent adventure game with lots of ropey bits. Just like the last one, and the one before it.
Hard Reset Redux Review Xbox One
Hard Reset: Redux isn't an epic adventure by any means, but for the £14.99 price tag it delivers enough bang for your buck.
Hitman Episode Three – Marrakesh Review PS4
It doesn't hit the heights of Sapienza, but Marrakesh is another sterling Hitman episode.
Dead Island: Definitive Edition Review PS4
Dead Island Definitive Edition is a great example of how a previous gen title can be improved on current-gen. Techland has done more than required in porting the games over to PS4 and Xbox One.

I own a MBP 13" mid 2009 running Snow Leopard. Now, I just bought Mountain Lion and haven't installed it yet. I am planning to get a new SSD to replace my optical drive.
Here's the process that I think is the most practical:
- Installing Mountain Lion on my HDD
- When the SSD arrives, I'll replace it with the HDD
- Now what? (something with the disk utility)
- Install Mountain Lion on the SSD
- Replace the optical drive with the HDD
- Backup all the HDD stuff except "System" folder - Is that right? How should I back up it?
- Reformat the drive
- Copy the data I backed-up back to the HDD
- Move "Applications" app to the SSD - Again, is that right? What about the "Application Support" folder?
Now to questions:
- See above: Number 6 question
- I read that I need to run disk utility before installing the DVD on the new SSD, how and why?
- Is it legal to install it on my current HDD, then install it on the SSD and remove it from the HDD?
- How can I move all my Apps to the new SSD?
- Do I need to move Library to the SSD also? If not, how will I configure that all the apps need to use the Library folder from the HDD?
- Will I have to re-install applications?

HOUSTON (November 7, 2013) Retail gasoline prices slipped below $3 per gallon across much of Texas this week, AAA-Texas reported Thursday.
AAA said the average price at the pump fell 6 cents this week to settle at $2.98 per gallon.
The nationwide average also declined 6 cents, reaching an average $3.22 per gallon, AAA said.
The association survey found Beaumont and Galveston with the cheapest gasoline in Texas at $2.94 per gallon while drivers in the Austin area are paying the most at $3.01 per gallon.
AAA experts say retail costs continue to fall amid sufficient fuel supplies, lower crude oil prices and refineries shifting to less expensive winter-blend gasoline production.

I am at the gym a lot (a habit that started about 6 months ago). I like going out or throwing football around. I think I am pretty open-minded. I like to have new experiences. I recently attended my first (small time) pro wrestling match WWE style. I would LOVE to travel! There are places around the US I need to go to, like Vegas, New York, and LA. But more than anything I want to go to Ireland. I want to go all over Europe really. I love people that like to have fun, be positive, and have goals in life.

In WA St., in a 1 yr period there were 10,000 arrests for pot use and $100 million spent on LE.
Oh yeah....there's victims and I'm one of them. That's coming out of my pocket.
It's like people can home brew beer, make wine, etc.
In some states He could very well be charged with Manslaughter/Murder,since he was committing a felony,manufacturing/possession of Marijuana and while engaged in that criminal activity killed 2 BG's that broke in.Tx law allows for self defense but this could be a problem
(e) A person who has a right to be present at the location where the force is used, who has not provoked the person against whom the force is used, and who is not engaged in criminal activity at the time the force is used is not required to retreat before using force as described by this section.
In FL, the shooter would not have a viable SD claim.
776.013 Home protection; use of deadly force; presumption of fear of death or great bodily harm.—
(1) A person is presumed to have held a reasonable fear of imminent peril of death or great bodily harm to himself or herself or another when using defensive force that is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm to another if:
(a) The person against whom the defensive force was used was in the process of unlawfully and forcefully entering, or had unlawfully and forcibly entered, a dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle, or if that person had removed or was attempting to remove another against that person's will from the dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle; and
(b) The person who uses defensive force knew or had reason to believe that an unlawful and forcible entry or unlawful and forcible act was occurring or had occurred.
(2) The presumption set forth in subsection (1) does not apply if:
(c) The person who uses defensive force is engaged in an unlawful activity or is using the dwelling, residence, or occupied vehicle to further an unlawful activity; or
It will be interesting to see how the feds will proceed regarding the states of Washington and Colorado. Will the feds pursue a path of accomodation or of persistent resistance to this change?
"Virtues" of mj aside, I look at loosing the right to self-defense while committing a felony as an expedient way to end two criminal enterprises at the same time and don't see much wrong with it.
The guy was just hanging out in his house with his son with a plant that grows naturally all over North America, or rather, it did before racist congressmen backed by pharmaceutical companies decided to get rid of it.
But I don't get where you're going with the racist congressmen? Even if you could prove that they were racist, what does that have to do with them outlawing pot?
Have to wonder about all this. If the person wasn't breaking the law growing pot would the people have broken in? In Ohio you are not allowed to be the beginning problem. Not that I don't think the man has a right to defend his and his family's safety. I just have to wonder how the law is really going to look at this situation.
If he's so concerned with his son's safety, why is he subjecting his son and home to potential harm from invasions from both criminals and law enforcement?
So I was robbing this bank, you see, and one of the guards pulls a gun on me, so I had to defend myself. He'd still be alive if he hadn't threatened me with his piece. I didn't do anything to him to start it either. I was minding my own business with the teller at the time...
What? I can't claim self defence?

From Our Editors
When registered yoga teacher Carissa Ciuca discovered the ancient art, she was searching for a physical activity that would free her from the restraints of her daily routine. She found that the mental and spiritual breakthroughs it inspired were what truly liberated her and helped to center her life. After training under Seane Corn—an internationally celebrated yoga teacher—among others, she realized her dream of opening her own yoga studio, then closing it once in a while so she could go home and sleep. Now, Carissa and her large, highly trained team of registered instructors strive to create a sanctuary where students of all abilities can achieve individual growth, celebrate community, and foster self-awareness.
The staff helps students unite mind, body, and spirit through the flows and postures of Vinyasa, gentle yin, and postnatal classes. They created this curriculum to help students let yoga's lessons stir change in their current lives and not in their past, for which time travel yoga is notorious. When they are not immersed in their own practice, these motivating instructors empower students to reshape their lives with a comprehensive teacher certification program, which emphasizes the Vinyasa style.

I've been using archlinux for a while but as the only SO in a hard drive. Today I decided to make a dual boot between windows 7 and archlinux, everything works fine but I have the following problem:
I have set the time in arch for example: 20:00, and when I go to Windows it updates to 01:00.
I've found some other posts like this
and a command
hwclock --systohc
but is not working, I guess that I've done everything that I had to do in arch and now I have to fix some problems in Windows but I don't know what to fix
I hope somebody can help me with this because its annoying that I have to fix the time every time I start Archlinux/Windows
The link on the correct answer works but the way it mentions (creating a file and execute it) didn't work for me so I had to do it myself. In case someone want the path in regedit, read this

Austin, Texas, is known for its massive music festivals, like SXSW and Austin City Limits. But alongside these epic, world-renowned events are some hidden gems. One is the Pachanga Latino Music Festival, which just this year featured a stellar lineup of artists we love, including Gaby Moreno, AJ Davila and La Santa Cecilia.
On this episode of Alt.Latino, we hear some music from the festival and meet up with a few of the performers, including the guys from Brown Out Presents: Brown Sabbath, Gaby Moreno, El Gran Silencio, and Julieta Venegas.
If you were in attendance, be sure to let us know what you loved, who could've done better and what you discovered — other than the fact that Austin can get very, very hot in May.

Wii U system update video shows improved performance in action
Wii U is due to receive a performance update in April and aside from adding Virtual Console into the mix, will improve the console's load times and stability. Nintendo has released a video to prove it.
What do you think? Will you go retro-crazy on the Virtual Console? I know I will.
