The Commander's Tactical Terminals (CTT) provide the war fighter with seamless, near-real-time intellegence and targeting information. They supply the critical data link to battle managers, intellegence centers, air defense, fire support and aviation nodes across all services. The CTT allows Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps users to exploit multiple intelligence broadcast networks.
The AN/TSC-125 Commander's Tactical Terminal (CTT) is a single-channel, anti-jam, COMINT/ELINT tasking and reporting transmitter/receiver designed for near-real-time dissemination of tactical intelligence. The purpose of the CTT is to provide the capability of selected Army and Air Force airborne collection systems to forward perishable intelligence to deep close and rear operations centers.
The Joint Tactical Terminals (JTT) and the Commander's Tactical Terminal (CTT) provide the joint war-fighter with near-real-time tactical intelligence and targeting information. The terminals supply the critical data link to battle managers, intelligence centers, air defense, fire support and aviation nodes across all services. The terminals allow Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps users to exploit Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) networks: Tactical Reconnaissance Intelligence eXchange Service (TRIXS), Tactical Information Broadcast Service (TIBS), Tactical Related Applications (TRAP), and Tactical Data Information eXchange System-B (TADIXS-B). In addition to receiving intelligence data, JTT and CTT transmit TRIXS or TIBS data. The CTT and other IBS terminals are migrating to a single JTT family.
The CTT terminals shall be capable of service in a tactical, sheltered military environment aboard helicopters, jet and propeller driven aircraft, and wheeled and tracked vehicles. The CTT terminals shall be capable of being integrated into host systems in accordance with the System/System Segment Interface Control Document for the Commanders' Tactical Terminal Hybrid Host CTT3, A3112228-003.

Several ways of travelling around Fiji Island exist.
These include taxis, public transit and car hire.
Most taxis are metered. If they are not, negotiate a price
beforehand. Taxis are relatively inexpensive in Fiji.
Open-sided buses serve towns and
cities and rural areas extensively. Although service is regular within urban
areas, buses may be crowded during peak hours.
Carriers and mini vans are
not metered, and are used in rural areas and cross-island commuting.
Fiji's laws dictate that vehicles should be driven on the left side of the road.
The island has an
extensive road highway around the main islands of Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.
Whilst driving on highways, watch out for cows and horses that frequently stray
onto the roads.
International driving licenses are permitted.

ALBANY COUNTY — As Albany County deputies and supervisors are negotiating their contract with the county, Sheriff Craig Apple is stumping for more money for them. He told The Enterprise that all of his stations are understaffed by people who do not have a lot of experience. This is "very concerning" to him, he says, stating that it is a matter of public safety.

You can be forgiven if Celestino Caballero's upcoming first defense of his WBA "regular" featherweight title against Satoshi Hosono has flown under your radar. You can be forgiven if you weren't aware that Caballero was a titleholder again.
The 35-year-old veteran from Panama City, Panama has only recently begun to resurect his once-promising boxing career, which he considered ending early this year following back-to-back decision losses.
Caballero (35-4, 23 knockouts) will compete in his opponent's backyard for the third straight time this Saturday on New Year's Eve, this time against Satoshi Hosono at the Bunka Gym in Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan.
Caballero claims to know very little about Hosono (21-1, 15 KOs) – a 28-year-old contender rated No. 10 by THE RING – except that "he'sa strong fighter, a tough fighter and he's coming to fight."
Hosono's lone defeat came in his only previous title challenge to then-WBA 122 pound titlist Poonsawat Kratingdaenggym, whom he lost to by majority decision nearly two years ago.
The bout will not be aired in America and has so far garnered little international attention. Still, Caballero has to feel good about the position of his career.
It would have been very difficult to imagine Caballero holding a title belt, even in an era of four major governing bodies, following his surprising upset defeat to fringe contender Jason Litzau last November.
Caballero, who had garnered a reputation as a high-risk, stylistic nightmare for the higher rent stars of the featherweight divisions with his aggressive, long-armed attack suddenly found himself without any bargaining power to attract the big name opponents he had openly sought to no avail.
Even with the setback, Caballero found himself right back in his very next fight, traveling to Argentina to face Jonathan Victor Barros. Despite scoring knockdowns in the first and ninth stanzas, Caballero was on the wrong side of a hometown split-decision, a frustrating turn that had the former unified 122-pound titleholder wondering if his time in the sport was up.
"Celestino just got to a point where he was so frustrated that he was ready to retire," said Jeff Mayweather, Caballero's trainer. "If he didn't force an immediate rematch, he would have retired. That's how strongly he felt about being robbed."
"If Barros had beat me legally, I would have retired," said Caballero.
With a little assistance from the Panama-based WBA, Caballero got his immediate rematch and defeated Barros in Argentina, securing a bargaining chip with which he could entice bigger names for bigger money.
Yet, as Caballero prepares to take the next step in his career, a storm brews on the horizon as to which company Caballero does business with for future bouts.
Caballero says that he is in the market for a new promoter, unhappy with Dibella Entertainment, the New York-based promotional outfit that he has worked with since facing Daud Cino Yordan on HBO in April of 2010. Caballero claims that Lou Dibella stopped providing bouts for him after the Litzau loss, forcing him to take his career into his own hands to get back to where he is now.
"I believe that Lou DiBella is a great promoter but I think that he couldn't get the fights that Celestino Caballero deserved," said Rogelio Espino, Caballero's former manager who worked with 'Pelenchin' from 2001 to earlier this year, resigning after admitting to making poor decisions on Caballero's behalf. "Now Caballero is at the end of his career and he cannot make any more mistakes."
Espino admits that Caballero does have two fights remaining with DiBella Entertainment, but says that they are in breach of their contract as they failed to provide him with a bout within the time frame. That meant Caballero should have fought in April of 2011, instead of making his own bout in July 2011 with Argentinian promoter Osvaldo Rivero, according to Espino.
Espino says that the complaint file of the first Barros decision that ultimately got them the rematch and participation in the subsequent purse bid with the WBA involved costs that Caballero shouldered himself without DiBella Entertainment.
DiBella's lawyer Leon Margules, who previously promoted Caballero to the IBF and WBA 122-pound titles under the Warrior's Boxing outfit but released him so that DiBella could sign him, says that the reason they were unable to make a deal for Caballero was because the 35-year-old veteran simply became unresponsive after the Litzau fight.
"While DiBella's contract did have time provisions, we were clearly within those limits when he refused to listen to any offers and allow DiBella to participate in his last two fights," said Margules.
"He can't fight by himself for other promoters, keep us out of the loop and say that counts as one of our fights," said Dibella. "They ignore us like we don't exist. I have as much time as I want, he's extended my contract by not being responsive."
DiBella claims that he had discussions with HBO to prior to the Litzau fight to match Caballero with either Yuriorkis Gamboa or Juan Manuel Lopez, the two bouts Caballero wanted most. DiBella says that he attempted to make a bout between Caballero and former featherweight titlist Cristobal Cruz for ESPN2 following the Litzau loss, but that Caballero pulled out because he was working with the WBA to make the Barros fight without DiBella.
"Things never went sour, but he was trying to be a cutey pie," said Dibella. "The entire time I was promoting Celestino, he was talking to other promoters from the beginning."
DiBella claims that his decision to not interfere with Caballero's attempts to secure title fights without him was business-motivated; Caballero with a title was worth a lot more than Caballero without a title. Still, DiBella is hoping to ameliorate their differences for the common good.
"If he wants a big fight on American TV, he knows where I am," said Dibella. "I'll try to make a fight with (WBO 130-pound titleholder) Adrien Broner or a Top Rank guy.
"I'm glad he's returned to form. I thought he fought very well in his recent fights. I certainly think he could give a helluva fight to some of the big names out there."
Espino also is optimistic that Caballero and DiBella can work things out and work towards something mutually beneficial.
"I believe that if DiBella Entertainment wants to hire Caballero's services they have to offer him a good purse. I am sure that Caballero is willing to work with someone that can deliver the best fights and the best purses available. I hope it could be DiBella Entertainment."
For now, Caballero says that his problems of the past – and the future – aren't on his mind as he focuses on the task ahead.
"I feel in super shape," said Caballero. "I don't worry about nothing."

|"X-Force" #7 on sale next week
In the Oscar-winning 1992 film âUnforgiven,â Clint Eastwood's character, gunfighter William Munny, remarked, âIt's a hell of a thing killing a man. You take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.â The one member X-Force s who truly understands this is Wolverine, but it's something his teammates, having just completed their first mission as Cyclops' clandestine wetworks squad, will learn quickly enough. CBR News spoke with Christopher Yost, who co-writes Marvelâs âX-Forceâ with Craig Kyle, about the fallout from the seriesâ first arc, âAngels and Demons,â and previewed the bookâs next storyline, âOld Ghosts,â which kicks off in next weekâs issue #7.
X-Force's first mission was to kill Matthew Risman, the leader of the anti-mutant terrorist group known as the Purifiers. When the mission began, the bookâs readers as well as its cast were surprised to find the character of Wolfsbane among the ranks of X-Force. âFrom day one, we agreed with the masses, and Wolverine and Cyclops agreed too: Wolfsbane does not belong on this team,â Yost told CBR News. âShe is not a killer, she doesn't want to be, she's against it. Wolverine and Cyclops don't want her to be, but she came to Cyclops. She wanted to be involved with the hunt for the Purifiers because one of Deathstrike's men in 'Messiah Complex' told her he knew her father. She wanted to find him so she could save him. Sadly, it worked out not so good for her. Worse for him.â
|Pages from "X-Force" #7
Wolfsbane's father, Reverend Craig, was part of an assembly of adversaries that crossed X-Force's path in âAngels and Demons.â Other villains featured in the arc included the team's target Matthew Risman, the revived robotic mutant hunter Bastion, and the enigmatic Eli Bard, who seemed to be just a normal human, but later appeared to have some sort of supernatural powers. Bard told Matthew Risman that there was no god-- only Death, and that âsheâ was his queen. âI can tell you that [Bardâs] agenda does not match Bastion's,â Yost confirmed. âHe is after something different. It would seem, based on issue #6, that something supernatural is involved. And it is significant that he used the pronoun 'she.' But all will be revealed, honest. And soon.â
X-Force's mission to kill Risman was a success, but when issue #7 begins, the team is nowhere near ready for their next assignment. âWolverine has a severe case of doubt about what they're doing. Wolfsbane is a mess. Warpath is a mess. X-23 is even less human. Elixir is completely freaked out by everything he's seen. And Warren, well, he's a mess,â Yost explaimed. âSo when the mission comes through, yeah. Not ready.â
Their new mission pits X-Force against the Vanisher, a very old X-Men foe who made his first appearance back in 1962's âUncanny X-Menâ #2. âThe Vanisher has stolen something that poses a threat to the mutant species. X-Force is tasked by Cyclops to get it back, no matter who they have to kill, specifically Vanisher,â Yost revealed. âMeanwhile, Warpath is consumed by guilt over the mass killing of the Purifiers he committed. He can't talk to X-Men, he can't talk to anyone--so he goes to talk to his brother. And when he gets there, things go bad. And double-meanwhile, Wolfsbane is left all alone, which is radically bad for someone in her mental state. Luckily, something happens to keep her busy.â
|Pages from "X-Force" #7
X-Force's adversaries in âAngels and Demonsâ were all motivated by ideology, but the Vanisher's deeds spring from a desire for cold hard cash. âVanisher is going to be a lot of fun, because he's so self- involved,â Yost stated. âX-Force is so grim, so angsty--he's like the villain you just can't really take seriously. After everything they've been through, when they get Vanisher as a mission, the team just can't believe it. this guy is a threat?â
In âAngels and Demons,â Warren Worthington had his wings ripped off, and the resulting trauma reactivated the genetic tampering perpetrated upon him by the villain Apocalypse. This transformed Angel back into his blue skinned, steel winged Archangel; a form in which he served for a time as Apocalypse's horseman, Death. At the end of the story, it appeared Warren had somehow gotten his feathered wings back and reverted to his normal form.
âX-Forceâ #7 gives hints as to what's actually going with Warren with regards to his Angel and Archangel personas, and readers will learn more as the character joins in on the hunt for the Vanisher. âWarren can lend a hand. After all, Warren and Vanisher have had a run in recently in Joe Casey's 'Uncanny' arc,â Yost said. â[âX-Forceâ] #8 is told from Warren's perspective, and it's pretty damn interesting to get in his head after everything that happened. So between #7 and #8, you'll have a pretty good understanding of Warren wherever he may appear.â
|"X-Force" #8
The Vanisher may be X-Force's target in âOld Ghosts,â but like âAngels and Demons,â the team will have crossed swords with several foes before the story is through. âNothing is easy in the world of X-Force,â Yost remarked. âGetting Vanisher isn't exactly easy, but they're prepared for it. What happens next--that they can't prepare for.â
Some extra luck comes X-Force's way in chapter three of âOld Ghosts,â when the probability-altering mutant Domino joins the group. âThey're relatively happy to see her, except when she shoots Wolverine in the head,â Yost teased. âShe brings to the team fun, a more positive outlook on life, guns, and sexiness.â
X-Men and X-Force leader Cyclops and former New X-Men member Elixir are once again on hand in supporting roles in the âOld Ghostsâ arc. âCyke is front and center in issue #7, and he and Wolverine trade niceties again, as they did in issue #1,â Yost said. âElixir may be sticking around, we'll see. He doesn't particularly want to, though.â
Cyclopsâ current role in X-Force is to assign his team their targets, but the best leaders never ask those under their command to do things they wouldnât elect to do themselves. âCyclops is in a tough spot. X-Force is his dirty little secret, but I don't think he'd ask them to do anything he isn't prepared to do himself,â Yost explained. âHe recognizes that they're probably better at it than him. But I think if it made sense, he'd be there.â
|Pages from "X-Force" #8
The tone of âOld Ghostsâ differs some from that of âAngels and Demons.â âIt's high stakes, but not as dark,â Yost said. âIt's got a good deal of the ol' super-violence, if not more. But there's definitely some fun in this one, and probably from here on out.â
In order to give series artist Clayton Crain a chance to work aheadon future issues of âX-Force,â the âOld Ghostsâ storyline -- which runs through âX-Forceâ #7-10 -- features artwork by Mike Choi and Sandra Oback. âThey bring awesomeness, and of course they know X-23 pretty well,â Yost said. âIssue #11 is a special issue, with art to be announced, while #12-13 is Clayton's return to a new mission focusing on the Bastion threat.â
Co-writers Chris Yost and Craig Kyle are delighted that readers have embraced âX-Force,â and promised the months ahead will be full of big action and excitement, especially for fans of their other Marvel Comics work. âThere's a couple of huge stories happening next year, and it's all leading to probably the biggest thing Craig and I have done in the comics. From our first issue of âNew X-Men,â it's all been leading to this. So don't miss it!â

Yulia Lipnitskaya, Russia
Age: 15. Height: 5-2.
Olympics: debut
Best score: 209.72 (2014)
Resume: The flavor of the month, particularly at an Olympics on Russian ice. She skated beyond her years in the team competition. She wouldn't be the first youngster to pull off the shocker.
Adelina Sotnikova, Russia
Age: 17. Height: 5-4.
Olympics: debut
Best score: 202.36 (2014)
Resume: The other half of Russia's resurgence in ladies figure skating. Some thought she might challenge for a medal until Lipnitskaya zoomed past her this year.

Age: 22. Height: 5-3.
Olympics: debut
Best score: 194.37 (2013)
Resume: The controversial discretionary third pick onto the U.S. team after finishing fourth at the U.S. championships last month. But Wagner acquitted herself in the short program of the team competition.

Age: 15. Height: 5-5.
Olympics: debut
Best score: 171.21 (2013)
Resume: A surprise second place at the U.S. championships last month in her first season at the senior level. She is not considered a medal contender in Sochi but could be a factor in the future.

I tend to agree, it's a lot of marching and a lot of rules. Someone needs to bring the fun factor to the NYC parade in the coming years.
My own personal fun came from the experience of being a young reporter on the beat and learning from some of the best in the business. There is a sense of camaraderie among fellow journalists and this made me proud to be Irish this St Patrick's Day in New York.
That's the thing about being Irish, we look after our own. I felt like the five year old who had got his bag of sweets as I sat to file copy on the 2014 New York St Patrick's Day parade.

Gospel of Luke
Gospel of Luke Theological Point Of View In Practice
Getting Biblical in Daily Life
Bestseller for Two Millennia
For Christians, Luke is the Steven Spielberg of New Testament authors. Think about it. Here's a gospel that covers most of what the Gospel of Mark covers but with the addition of so many famous parables, like the one about the Rich Man and Lazarus (16:19-31), and loads of unforgettable sayings, like "If anyone strike you on the cheek offer the other also" (6:29). And don't forget—he's the man behind such staying symbols as baby Jesus lying in the manger (2:7) and the Good Samaritan (10:30-36). Together with the Gospel of Matthew, Luke soon overshadowed Mark in popularity among Christians, who are still keeping it at the top of their bestsellers list.
Luke the Artist
Luke sure knows how to tell a story. His gospel is injected with a high dose of literary artistry, so much so that it has become as enduring a work of art as say, Shmoop. Or the Sistine Chapel.
Just think of all the moving and complex stories thrown at us one after the other: the Sinful Woman (7:36-50), the Good Samaritan (10:30-36), the Prodigal Son (15:11-32), the Rich Man and Lazarus (16:19-31), the Ten Pounds (19:11-27). You get the point. All the while, Luke develops and complicates classic themes, like care for outcasts, the rejection of wealth, and the value of what is lost. It's no wonder intellectual Ernest Renan deemed the Gospel of Luke "the most beautiful book ever written" (source, viii). Agree or disagree? Shmoop amongst yourselves.
Luke the Theologian
But what's the point of all this artistry? To make a point, that's what. And Luke's point, of course, is a theological one.
First on the docket: "fulfillment." He introduces this concept right in the first verse of the gospel when he writes of "the events that have been fulfilled among us" (1:1). What does this mean? Well, in short, the events that go down in the course of Luke's gospel are, according to Luke, the events that the prophets, Moses, and the Psalms spoke about in the wayback days. Jesus is just fulfilling them. Jesus himself says as much at the beginning of his ministry in Capernaum (4:21) and again in his last words to the disciples before he heads off to for heaven (24:44).
But the whole fulfillment fiasco isn't very easy, and Luke is majorly interested in the strange and surprising ways in which it occurs. Opposition, rejection, and defiance are the names of the game. And no matter how nonsensical it may be—we humans just can't understand it—it's all part of the grand plan.
So Jesus's arrival will fulfill, um, everything, but Luke's own people—the Jews—reject him in no uncertain terms. Luke sees this as the reason behind the destruction of Jerusalem in 70, and he's not happy about it. In fact, it makes him terribly sad (13:34-35; 19:41-44; 23:27-31).
One last thing. Luke obviously expects the return of Jesus (9:26; 21:27). But when? When does Luke expect all this craziness to go down? In some passages it appears quite close (9:27; 21:32), while in others Luke seems to be coming to terms with its delay and the consequences for Christian ethics (12:41-46; 17:22-37; 18:1-8; 21:34-36). Even if Jesus is yet to return, there's a sense in Luke that at least God's kingdom is already present, "for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you" (17:21).
What do you think? Is Luke intentionally ambiguous? Is he trying to create suspense? Or does he just have no clue?

MAEDA bracelet
improves & activates the blood circulation and that will add
benefits to diabetic , cardiac & hypertensive patient, improving
blood circulation will reduce more 80% of rheumatoid pain & arthritic pains that
don't respond except to analgesics , that sometimes cause peptic
ulcer, renal troubles or hepatic impairment after long term use and
if not used properly under supervision of a doctor, MAEDA bracelet
produce Infrared (F.I.R ) and
Negative Ions
for best health & vitality .
MAEDA Bracelets reduce 80% of arthritis pain
Infrared produced by the MAEDA Bracelets
improve circulation , Stimulate the circulatory system works to
reduce pain of rheumatism and arthritis pain and neck pain and
shoulder pain and pain spine.
Therefore can reduce the analgesics for patients with arthritis and
bone pain and spine pain because analgesics threatening intestinal
wall and kidney function and liver
The Impact of electromagnetic waves harmful to human health
Researchers carried
out by the world health
organization have proven the harmful side effects of
electromagnetic waves on the human body and what it can cause,
as stress , nervousness , dormancy and pain especially low back pain
, neck pain , shoulder pain , muscle and joint pains .
Nowadays we can't neglect
new technology that has changed our life style a lot , like using
mobile phone, computers ,TV's , microwaves and other electric
devices in addition to the hazards of mobile phone network and and high voltage electric network.
Japan as a
giant in science and
technology & because they use unusual methods to deal with problems
have reached "Maeda bracelet" as one of the best solutions to
protect the human against the harmful side effects of
electro-magnetic waves
Our new life style has forced us
to a new way of living away from physical activities and
sport practice and that has led to spreading of diseases like obesity
,diabetes ,hypertension, heart failure and ischemia .
All these diseases have a negative impact on the blood circulation
which is considered the
base for a good health
Why MAEDA bracelet ?
Absorbs the harmful electromagnetic waves.
Converts the harmful electromagnetic waves
into infrared (F.I.R) radiations that have beneficial effects on the human
body .
Improves blood circulation and helps increase blood flow.
Increases the body immunity.
Maintains balance of the nervous system .
Helps you get rid of nervousness and helps you relax .
Helps you go into deep sleeping ( treatment insomnia sleep )
Increases concentration and focusing .
Negative Ions
& Infrared (FIR) providing vitality .
Reduce the neck and back pain, arthritis pain
and rheumatism and muscle and joint pains .
Help in the treatment of back pain, neck and
shoulder, arthritis, rheumatism and treatment of weak nerves .
Help in the treatment of heart attacks and
blood clots and cardiovascular diseases and headache
Infrared & Health: The Relationship
When far infrared rays (FIR) penetrate the skin,
they come into contact with proteins, collagen, fats and water
molecules. By stimulating micro-vibrations far infrared cause a
thermal reaction which elevates tissue temperatures. The human body
then reacts by dilating all the blood vessels regardless of size.
Tissues are revitalized because of the improved (micro & macro)
FIR can actually increase the regenerative ability of the body
tissue. It also reduces abnormalities in nervous system and helps
the autonomous system function at optimum level. Scientists continue
to study infrared wavelengths of light improve their understanding
of its therapeutic effects on our bodies. FIR
is rapidly gaining
worldwide recognition and acclaim as a complimentary MAEDA and
alternative therapy treatment
Infrared therapy has proven to be effective because its "hot rays"
exhibit analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic
capabilities. Therefore, Far Infrared products are useful in the
treatment of sub-acute or chronic inflammations, and for trauma,
scar adhesions and nerve pain
Our body generates Positive Ions as we absorb
Negative Ions (Minus Ions) into our
system, this gives us balance.
In Japan they have concluded that electricity, machinery, and human
beings all compete for Minus Ions. It is believed that a low level
of Minus Ion intake can cause an unbalance and may be the reason
that some people have stress, nervousness and discomfort .
The composition of our
Negative Ions
Products attracts Minus Ions to your body. Depending on your ionic
balance, they may offer you relief. We are all different. Minus Ion
technology is not medicine (like aspirin), but could be compared
more to vitamins. Minus Ions are sometimes referred to as the "
Vitamins of the Air "
Now, benefit from
Negative Ions and its'
inherent ion balancing power! In a soft, comfortable, pain-easing
wrist band that really works!
Mechanism of action MAEDA
MAEDA bracelet begins its work on the nervous system as soon as you
wear it, because it absorbs the electromagnetic waves surrounding the
human body. MAEDA bracelet converts the harmful electromagnetic
waves and the body temperature into another form of useful
energy which is the far infra red radiations that is absorbed by the
body activate cells & tissues leading to vasodilatation of blood vessels
and improve blood flow ,
returning vitality to the tissues . reducing pain and helps healing .
MAEDA bracelet also emits
Negative Ions that makes you feel active
& fresh & more energetic and helps you get rid of stress and
increases your immunity
Who are recommended to wear
MAEDA bracelet ?
Elderly men & women .
who complain of low back pain , shoulder pain , neck pain .
who complain of sleepiness , tired men , lassitude
who complain of loss of concentration .
who complain of insomnia through release of some hormones.
cardiac patients through vasodilatation of blood vessels and
decreasing peripheral
resistance and so improving
blood circulation and improving cardiac symptoms
( Dyspnea –
lowenlimb edeuna )
Diabetic patients through improving peripheral circulation
Rheumatic & osteoarthritis patient through improving blood
circulation at the site of
pain so this will dilute the concentration of pain producing substance (prostaylandin) at the
site of pain.
there any evidence on its effects MAEDA Bracelet
YES , there are some studies &
researches about what the MAEDA bracelet can do :
1 - Thermo graphic
Camera :These are some photo carried out by a
thermo graphic Camera for a hand on wearing the bracelet and on
taking it off showing the difference that happened in the blood
circulation , that is reflected by the change in colors
2 - O-ring test
: it's a test used to reflect the efficacy of the nervous system
and muscle tone .
Test method of O-Ring test : the examinee is asked to form
fairly prefect circle (O-ring) by touching the tips of the thumb and
the ring finger of one hand . The examiner inserts a pair of his
finger (one of each hand) into the examinee's o-ring and joins them
to his both thumbs to make two circles around the examinee's o-ring
. Then he pulls the examinee's o-ring outward from both sides with
his finger circles trying to open the o-ring, while the examinee's
resists it .
Make this test two times, one while the examinee is wearing the
bracelet and another while taking it off and realize the difference
in the resistance of the examinee .
Is Maeda Bracelet safe ?
Yes . Maeda bracelet is very safe , has no side effects and
no contraindications
How can you get maximum
benefit of MAEDA Bracelet ?
It's recommended not to wear maeda bracelet with gold ,platinum ,and
diamond , and not to be covered with
dark clothes because these materials absorbs part of the far infra
red rays and minus ions produces by the bracelet.
How to use MAEDA bracelet
MAEDA bracelet "MAEDA bracelet" can
be worn in hands ,legs or arms on a condition that it is in direct

SAVE THE CHILDREN - Brits hit half million mark & then some! Pix
Save the Children
1 St. John's Lane
London EC1M 4AR
If you should have any more hats in the pipeline for the UK appeal, please send them to the above address asap - many thanks.
Hi Folks
The campaign has now officially ended,
with Brits knitting some
550,000 hats!!!
- way over the half-million Save the Children target.
A staggering 50,000 messages, urging government action on global child poverty, will be also heading to Downing Street in November. (Watch this space)
Dr Dorjee, who works for Save the Children in Tibet, said "We rarely put hats on babies. This … has been like that for generations and is responsible for many preventable child deaths. I believe the hats will save many lives."
Further details here:
Thank you everyone who has taken part and a
to this site, without whom .....
Best Wishes
************************************************** 8
October Update
UK knitters have made a staggering 460,000 hats since April but Save the Children are hoping to hit the half million target.
The number of knitters joining the campaign has jumped from 25,000 last month to 40,000, so maybe there's still a chance to achieve the 500,000. Although
the campaign ends on 21 October
that still leaves time to knit and post one more little hat.
Recent shipments are: 30,000 to Bangladesh, 25,000 Liberia,
a massive 80,000 to Brazil and the latest delivery is a further 50,000 hats to Mongolia.
One enterprising lady, who's a volunteer in a Cornwall charity shop, challenged a group of Mothers' Union knitters to turn out 1,000 - they clicked and clacked so much that a total 1,600 little hats were made.
There's a link here with a wonderful photo of those hats filling the group's church in Newquay, plus all the latest information.
The monstrous job of collating the hat labels is now underway and arrangements are being made to present a petition to Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, at the end of the year.
" .....your hats have helped save the lives of hundreds of thousands of newborn babies. Now let's hope that your voice will help to save millions more. We call on the UK Government to do everything they can to dramatically reduce the numbers of children dying each year. Our call is so much stronger because it's joined by your voice." Save the Children - October 08
I've left the link below to the Sun Newspaper appeal because although 350,000 is a huge number of hats, more knitters are still needed - about 25,000 to reach the target Save the Children set for the number of people becoming involved.
So, please, if you've a little time to spare, knit a hat!
There are photos below of babies in Sierra Leone, which has the worst child mortality rate in the world.
It would be fantastic if you could persuade just one person, who is capable of holding two sticks and a ball of yarn, to get cracking and knock out a hat - it doesn't take very long to make - even someone who thought knitting needles were some weird sort of chopstick could get the hang of it.
Latest info link here
Even corporate management is taking an interest, with one extremely generous donor paying for 50,000 hats to be shipped to Angola and Tanzania, where babies are at risk from fatal hypothermia.
Save the Children are posting the latest photographs and stories of how hats have helped babies in Tibet, especially one four-month-old baby boy who's had pneumonia.
Read More here
Just recently, 20 cross-party MPs, including Ed Balls, Minster for Children, got busy clacking instead of yacking (just for a change!
) - see first link below.
So far, hats have been sent to Tibet, Burma and Kenya.
There's a link here giving info. including photos.
The next shipment of hats is destined for South and South West Africa, which has the second highest child mortality rate in the world, so every little bit of help counts:
It also wonderful to know that Members of Parliament are now becoming involved by collecting hats from their constituents and sending them to local branches of Save the Children.
More information here:
There's a cracking link next - I howled laughing when I saw it!

Save the Children
1 St. John's Lane
London EC1M 4AR
Update July 2008
THIS APPEAL IS RUNNING UNTIL 21st OF OCTOBER.
Hat labels can be printed in black/white and if you are donating a number of hats, please put your name on one label and if possible, please ask friends to let them add their names to your hats.
Example - you've knitted 6 hats and are sending them in one parcel.
If your friends agree to your adding their name to the appeal, please put their name on a label and attach it to a hat.
The idea is to get as many different names as possible because the labels are acting as signatures on a petition form.
When you've used up your stock of friends/family, pop the unlabelled hats into your package for posting.
The charity hasn't said this but please ask your friends for permission before using their name and their address and do, please,
double check with them about giving out their email address.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I was watching the Paul O'Grady show yesterday when he put out an appeal for knitters - says he's learning to knit himself
(a likely story! - he'll get Buster to do it).
Save the Children need knitted hats for newborn babies in Tibet, Kenya and South Africa.
Update - latest pictures broadcast 11 April on Paul's TV Show:
Save the Children have a knitting pattern available as a PDF - here
The hats can be knitted in any colour you like, except white please (it's a colour that can symbolise death in some African and Asian countries) and can be sent direct to Save the Children at their London address given with the pattern.
Save the Children are now asking people to put up posters for this project so that more knitters get involved.
Link here
I think it would be great to know how many KH-ers make these little hats - so please pop your name on this thread when you've sent off your hat - maybe take a photograph as well. I'd love to see what everyone's made.

While strategies for medical care for human immunodeficiency virus—related Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) are well established, racial variations in care have not been evaluated.
To determine whether sociodemographic characteristics influence patterns of care and patient outcomes, by analyzing the use of diagnostic tests and anti-PCP medications and in-hospital mortality rates for persons who were hospitalized with human immunodeficiency virus—related PCP.
Retrospective chart review of a cohort of 627 Veterans Administration (VA) patients and 1547 non-VA patients with empirically treated or cytologically confirmed PCP who were hospitalized from 1987 to 1990. Outcomes included representative aspects of the process of care for PCP and short-term mortality rates.
Among VA patients, black and Hispanic patients were not significantly different from white patients with regard to in-hospital mortality rates, use and timing of a bronchoscopy, or receipt of timely anti-PCP medications. Among non-VA patients, black and Hispanic patients were more likely to die in the hospital and less likely to undergo a diagnostic bronchoscopy in the first 2 days of hospitalization. These racial and ethnic group differences in the use of a bronchoscopy and in-hospital mortality among non-VA patients were almost fully accounted for by differences in health insurance status and hospital characteristics.
Racial factors do not appear to be an important determinant of the intensity of diagnostic or therapeutic care among patients who are hospitalized with PCP. Variations in care are largely attributable to differences in health insurance and admitting hospital characteristics.(Arch Intern Med. 1995;155:1586-1592)

The Frost Band of the Hour is the marching band at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. The band plays at all home football games and one away game. It also travels to post-season football bowl games in years that the football team plays at one.[1] The university also has separate concert bands and pep bands for other sports. The band's name originated during the 1948 Orange Bowl halftime show, when Henry Fillmore announced that the "The Man of The Hour" march was being played by the 'Band of the Hour'. The band decided to keep the name.[2]
The band was founded in 1933 by Walter E. Shaeffer, who had served with the United States Marine Band as a musician and concertmaster. During the 1950s, composer Henry Fillmore became a major patron of the band. He provided funding for the construction of Henry Fillmore Band Hall, the band's home base.[2]
Fred McCall was Director of Bands from 1948 to 1971, when he became Director Emeritus.[3] William B. Russell was Director of Bands from 1972 to 1991. Michael Mann served as the band's director as well as Associate Director of Bands from 1991 to 2000. In 1993, the current Director of Bands, Gary D. Green took office. Michael B. Dressman was Director of the Band of the Hour from 2000 to 2004. C. David Ragsdale served as interim director in 2004-2005. Phillip Clements was Associate Director of Bands and Director of the Band of the Hour until the summer of 2008, when Thomas Keck became Director of the Band of the Hour and Associate Director of Bands.[2] Charles Damon is the Assistant Director of Programs.[4] Under Keck's administration, the band began to focus on the music it played in the stands. Emphasis was placed on popular music, as many home-grown members had come from high schools which followed the marching traditions of historically black colleges. In an attempt to play to South Florida's significant Hispanic culture, the band also began playing more Latin music both in the stands and during field shows.
Keck set a goal of increasing the band's size to 200, and the band has increased. In September 2009, band membership had reached 179, due in part to including members of the Florida International University band, which was dissolved due to budget cuts. The band also includes students from Miami Dade College and other schools.[5] In 2009, Mario Cruz set a record of playing with the band for 10 years.[6]
Since 1993, the Band of the Hour Association is an alumni group that supports the band. The association maintains a hall of fame for the band.[7] Alumni also play or march with the band during homecoming football games.[8]

Paris' history and identity go well beyond its borders. The capital is very much in demand for exchanges and partnerships on themes such as transport, the environment, urban planning and culture. City Hall must play a key role in international relations through partnerships, acting on a local level. Its influence also involves transmitting strong values, liberty and solidarity.
Paris exchanges experiences and best practices with other major world cities. Its priorities are urban development (transport, housing, heritage), the environment (improving sanitation, combating pollution, maintaining parks) and culture (promoting Parisian artistic productions abroad and welcoming foreign cultures in Paris). Friendship and cooperation agreements are the outcome of these close exchanges with around forty major cities. The city's exclusive twinning with Rome, which celebrated its fiftieth anniversary in January 2006, also remains very active.
Cities are key players in the world today as 60% of the world population lives in urban areas. This is why the world organisation of United Cities and Local Governments (UCLG) was founded in Paris in 2004. Co-chaired by the Mayor of Paris, it represents more than half the world's population and voices the concerns of local governments to international organisations. The organisation acts as a spokesperson for its members with a view to finding solutions to the issues of globalisation and urban growth which are specific to major cities. City Hall also acts through its involvement in city networks:- Development projects in developing countries are funded by the Association internationale des maires francophones, AIMF (International association of French-speaking mayors). The association has 156 member cities and is chaired by the Mayor of Paris. - Paris takes part in several European city networks (Eurocities, UCEU) and in numerous European Commission programmes (Leonardo, Culture 2000, Asia Urbs, etc.).
- City Hall is strongly committed to defending human rights, individual rights and freedom of the press. Paris is the symbol of these values throughout the world. The creation of a House of Journalists in 2003 and the conferment of the title of citizen of honour to men and women who are in danger for having expressed their opinion, such as the Burmese national Aung San Su Ky and the French-Colombian Ingrid Betancourt, are two examples of strong gestures undertaken as part of this commitment. - Paris supports initiatives undertaken abroad by associations and Non-Government Organisations. It also expresses its support through appropriate aid programmes in emergency situations -tsunami in South-East Asia, earthquake in Bam (Iran), floods in Haiti, etc.- Since 2002, Paris has been increasingly active in the fight against AIDS, particularly in Africa. City Hall devoted an annual budget of 1.7 million in 2006 to this cause.- Creating better access to water and improving sanitation for people in deprived areas are also among the City's priorities.

CAPITOLA -- It happens all the time at the Capitola Book Cafe. A customer comes in, chats amiably with an employee about new or intriguing books, gets a few recommendations and scribbles down the pertinent information on a sticky note. Then they go home and order the book online.
"They'll say, 'Oh, we love you guys,'" said Richard Lange, one of the quartet of partners who own and operate the Book Cafe. But, say the customers, they can get the book cheaper at Costco or Amazon.com.
It's an old and familiar story in the bookselling business, where for more than a decade independent bookstores like the Book Cafe have been increasingly squeezed between online retailers and large chains, both steadily undercutting the indies' prices and, by extension, their clientele. Still, despite the formidable competition and the number of adults who read regularly trending downward, the independents were able to find a niche to survive.
Then, came the recession.
Because of an increasingly difficult business climate, the Capitola Book Cafe is looking to make some changes. The partners -- Lange, Wendy Mayer-Lochtefeld, Melinda Powers and Janet Leimeister -- have announced that, to keep the Book Cafe viable, they are playing the last, best card they have: community.
The Book Cafe is instituting a membership program, in which they're asking their customers to pay an annual fee in five levels from $25 to $250. Those fees will entitle them to a number of benefits -- free food and drink, shopping sprees, tickets to events and other discounts -- but they're also needed to keep the Book Cafe in business.
"If we can't really rally our customers around us," said Mayer-Lochtefeld, "then the store is absolutely at risk."
The Book Cafe, which was established in 1980, has for years served as a kind of literary clearinghouse, not only selling books, but hosting readings from authors -- both local and nationally known -- as well as book clubs and writers' groups. Their regular series has brought in names of national prominence from "Kite Runner" author Khaled Hosseini to former NBC anchor and "Greatest Generation" author Tom Brokaw. The bookstore has also expanded its food-and-drink offerings, as a way to compete in an increasingly tough business environment. It is, said Mayer-Lochtefeld, a way to transform itself as a community touchstone.
"We've been morphing from a bookstore with a cafe into a venue that happens to sell books," she said. "It's all about trying to create that salon feel, to become a place where people gather."
The Book Cafe has changed its hours to reflect leaner times, but it's yet to institute layoffs to its staff of two dozen. To broaden its appeal and establish its community roots, the business has welcomed consignment items, brought in artworks, hosted community events, set aside a kids' area and given attention to local writers and artists.
Powers said that independent booksellers are also important to establish the range of titles that publishers can release in a given year. Since the vast majority of book sales come from brand-name bestselling behemoths of the industry, it is independents that create a market for all the other titles.
"One of the concerns," said Powers, "is that once independents start to disappear, publishers will be forced to publish fewer titles."
Meanwhile, the industry continues to evolve in challenging ways. Amazon's increasingly popular electronic book reading device, the Kindle, is not only providing yet another roadblock to independent booksellers, but is also sparking an existential discussion on what a book is.
Still, said the Book Cafe partners, the fate of the independent book industry is largely in the hands of consumers. A recent study pointed out that among even those consumers who thought of themselves as "loyal independent bookshop customers" only four of every 10 books they buy came from an independent bookseller.
"We're not asking that people buy 10 out of 10 books from independent bookstores," said Janet Leimeister. "But just one or two more, five out of 10, or six out of 10, would make a huge difference."

Choices Quotes in Divergent
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
I stare into my own eyes for a moment. Today is the day of the aptitude test that will show me which of the five factions I belong in. And tomorrow, at the Choosing Ceremony, I will decide on a faction; I will decide the rest of my life; I will decide to stay with my family or abandon them. (1.9)
This is the big choice that Tris faces; and luckily for her, she has some help in making that choice. Before she decides, she gets to go through the Sorting Hat—er, we mean the aptitude test. But even with that aptitude test, notice how big this choice is: it gets three repetitions of the phrase "I will decide." That's how we know it's important.
Quote #2
At the Abnegation table, we sit quietly and wait. Faction customs dictate even idle behavior and supersede individual preference. I doubt all the Erudite want to study all the time, or that every Candor enjoys a lively debate, but they can't defy the norms of their factions any more than I can. (2.7)
Everyone in a faction does the same things because they're in that faction. And yet Tris recognizes the possible separation between the "individual preference" and "Faction customs." Is Tris the only one who feels like making a non-faction choice? (Probably not, but it can feel like that sometimes.)
Quote #3
"Beatrice," he says, looking sternly into my eyes. "We should think of our family." There is an edge to his voice. "But. But we must also think of ourselves."(4.64)
Tris isn't the only one who wants to express her individual choices against the faction norms (see above). Even Caleb, the perfect Abnegation, does something very non-Abnegation here. And we know this is a big issue because Tris keeps breaking in to tell us it's a big issue: Caleb's eyes are stern, his voice has an edge. If this were just a boring line of dialogue, Tris probably wouldn't be noticing all these little physical clues.

Mariachi Vargas Extravaganza
San Antonio, TX
Nydia Rojas has lent her innate musical talent and stylistic finesse to a genre steeped in tradition since the age of 9. As a vocalist, songwriter and guitarist, she continues to embrace Mexican folk music while fusing it with contemporary musical influences. Nydia released her major label debut album at only 15 years old, as the first Latina to sign with Arista Records-Latin Division and contributed to setting the pace for contemporary mariachi music in the U.S. She quickly gained praise as she performed throughout the country, establishing her as one of best Latin female vocalists. She was invited to perform for President Clinton for his 2nd term inauguration, and later that year, she was declared a "sensation" by USA Today, and an artist "destined to become a crossover smash" by Billboard Magazine. In the next five years another three solo albums followed. At the age of 20, Nydia's third album, Si Me Conocieras, was nominated for a Latin Grammy award. Soon afterwards, she embarked on several national tours with Mexican superstar, Juan Gabriel. This collaboration led to her fourth album, Nydia, which took more of a mainstream direction while displaying all of Nydia's fine musical skills. On this album, Gabriel graciously sang two duets and recorded key background vocals. He named her one of the best interpreters of his music. Nydia has toured or shared the stage with some of the biggest names in Latin music including Juan Gabriel, Vicente Fernandez, Alejandro Fernandez, Lola Beltran, Lucha Villa, Pepe Aguilar, Ana Gabriel and many others. Nydia continues to passionately evolve her musical style while still paying tribute to her musical heritage.

[The following generally applies to all HP48/49/50]

It's the last four entries made using the built-in editor,
regardless of what you edited; in ALG mode
you tend to include command arguments within each line,
as ALG syntax demands, whereas in RPN mode,
you are free to type all arguments followed by a command name
before completing an editor session, if you like,
but if you press ENTER after every individual
argument, then use a command key which acts
"immediately" (rather than editing its name),
you'll end up with argument items being saved individually.
Another RPN alternative is to enter algebraic expressions,
e.g. 'SIN(30)' and then EVAL them to get answers,
or to use a program which saves every function and its arguments
on the stack, so that you can repeat or edit it
just as in ALG mode, e.g.:
@ RPN mode simple "Function trace" program [HP48/49/50]
More unusual "algebraic" function trace programs for 50/49/48Gii only:

I think your opinion will be "seconded" by most readers here.

"Custom" menus are indeed a very nice (and probably under-utilized)
feature; the fact that in any directory not having its own
CST menu, the calc looks to higher directories to find one,
means that you can also put one universal "default" menu into HOME.
> Question: has anyone figured out a way to allow the CMD command
> (listing the last four commands used) in RPN mode?Is there a flag thatone can set? Or a program one can input?
The automatic recording of every completed edit is automatic
(although it can be turned on/off in Menu 69, via a setting
which has no corresponding flag).
If you want command names to be inserted while editing,
you must do something which turns on "PRG" (program editing mode);
this mode is turned on automatically when you start entering
or editing a \<
> or a {list} or a :tag:
but you can also force that mode at any time
via the R.S. ENTRY keyboard operation
(or by starting an edit using "Text Editor" in the APPS menu)
If you would also like to increase the number of saved entries
from just four up to hundreds, here's a program:
"Save unlimited command-line entries [HP49 version]"
"Save unlimited Last Commands [HP48 version]"
NOTE: You should make a memory backup *before* using these programs
(in case of harmful error in using "system" functions or their addresses).

What is it about . . . .

Showing another one of yer racists on the match highlights . . . you just couldn't make it up!
Know doubt you lot will be on here trying to exonerate another one of yer racist fans.
First Suarez, then the Oldham match racist , now monkey racist, how many more? . . . oh hang on . . . all those racists that were booing the Vindicated Evra.

Quick question on this. Why is it that in this case the accused will be in magistrates cause little over a week from the complaint and arrest, while in the JT case (which I believe is the same or at least very similar charge) it's taking months?
No doubt Suarez will score before Torres does. Remember, Liverpool has Torres' pin code for scoring and not Chelsea

Robert of course the Neville comment was disingenuous; it was a tongue in cheek comment back to the manc I was responding too. You're the only one taking it seriously.
In fact here you go again, wanting to talk about the subject you keep accusing others of being obsessed with.
You know very clearly my opinion on the matter, and you know very well its highly unlikely your going to change my mind. So again, why?
Come on Robert, let it go. You're not going to convince those who hold a different opinion than yourself, at least not at this stage, so why not get back to talking about the actual football. Most on here welcome different views from rival fans, but even the patient amongst us get bored of someone banging on about the same thing again and again.
Suarez is back on Monday, what do you think the odds are he'll get a goal before Torres? Surely that's a bit more fun to talk about that the fact fans boo opposition players.
Come on, to suggest Evra got booed because everyone was missing Neville is, shall we say, a trifle disingenuous? I know that not even you believe that.
So your point of view on Suarez is that everyone accepts his guilt except you and the reason you don't is because you pay more attention to things than the rest of us? So we've all missed something? Care to tell us what it is?
My guess is you have no more relevant information than the rest of us because the relevant information is what came out of the report and we are as capable of reading that as you. I can certainly believe that you have studied the LFC website more than the average non-LFC supporter, but I hope you're not thinking that that is a source of unbiased information. As we know, it has been a source of great hostility to Evra, going as far as to libel him.
dsteer_lfc_68 dsteer_lfc_68 Feb 1, 2012 18:55 Flag
Robert you brought it up on this thread, I just posted I thought we'd boo Neville if he was still around, so why not boo Evra instead. If there is every a game between LFC and MU without some abuse thrown at the players by the rival rans, I'll be very surprised. Is that a good thing or bad thing? Its besides the point is a reality.
But I'm sorry if you're offended by the fact my opinion is that the panel investigation did not prove to my satisfaction that Suarez racially abused Evra. It did reach the minimal threshold to ban him, but like I said I'm personally not convinced.
End of the day it does not matter if I am or am not convinced as my opinion is of little value in this case. He got banned, accepted the ban, so we move on. But that does not stop me holding a personal opinion here. Neither you, the report, or the endless inches from the media has convinced me there is proof that Suarez said what he's been found guilty of, but that is just my opinion.
Maybe I do hold this view partly because I'm a Liverpool supporter. But it might be that I just pay a little more attention to things because it involves a player from my club, and feel based on everything I've seen and read that the case was not proven. If it was another player at another club (Terry maybe) I'd probably pay less attention to the details and therefore maybe more easily swayed by partial knowledge, or rely on previous assumptions about the player in thinking whether it was likely he said those words or not.
Do I not let it go any more than you?
What more do I want? Two things. Better behaviour at football grounds, including my own. And for Liverpool fans to stop portraying their player as the victim. I find your and other Liverpool attitudes towards the Suarez issue as being determined to see him as innocent. You may say that the club and you accept he's been found guilty but you're constantly making comments implying you don't really think he's guilty, just as LFC has done. And the attitude of LFC towards Evra has been nothing but hostile. I haven't yet seen a single apology to Evra for anything, not even the libel.
I think that if this was some other club your attitude to it would be quite different.
dsteer_lfc_68 dsteer_lfc_68 Feb 1, 2012 17:06 Flag
Robert you really won't let this one go. Why?
Fans are going to boo at football grounds whether you or I like it or not. What motivates them is going to be different for each of them, but to try and police what is onside and what is offside when it comes to what motivates a fan to boo is ridiculous.
But where a line can be drawn is whether a fan is overly abusive in showing their displeasure at certain opposition players. Its clear LFC does not tolerate racial taunting, which is why in both FA cup fixtures fans who crossed the line were held to account with the help of the club. I'm not sure what more you or others really want on this front.
lastly I'm sorry if my burden of proof is a little higher than your own. I don't know with certainty, or beyond a reasonable doubt what was said between Patrice Evra and Luis Suarez. The panel found the preponderance of evidence supported Evra's version of events more likely than Suarez's which was enough to get him banned for 8 matches however. The club accepts that, the player accepts that, as do I, however accepting its likely he abused Evra is quite a long way off proving to my satisfaction that he did. But if you accept preponderance of evidence as proof, so be it.
I'm far less concerned with Rangers fans booing Terry than I am about Chelsea fans picking on Ferdinand. Ferdinand's done nothing to deserve abuse.
There's booing and booing. I agree that giving a bit of stick to the rivals is just part of the fun. But I deplore:
- booing an opposition player who is lying on the ground because your player has just fouled and injured him
- booing the team list of the League 2 team come to play you in the cup on their big day
The picking on Ferdinand/Evra is similar to the booing of the injured player that your player just fouled. It's inappropriate and bad. To excuse it with "there are still a good few Liverpool fans who feel the whole truth may not have come out of the process" just shows that it is you and they who made up your minds and weren't going to let evidence get in the way of deciding your man is the victim, rather than seeing it as you would if you weren't a Liverpool fan.

Robert you need to lighten up mate, not everything you see wrong with football is a sign of the downfall of society.
Fact is there is always plenty of booing at a match between Liverpool and Utd. It does not take a racism case to bring out the boo boys. Evra is just the current pantomime villain, just as Rooney has been, and an old favorite, Neville, who always got plenty of stick, and often tried to return in kind.
Is it appropriate to boo someone who's been proven the victim of racial abuse? Probably not, and I doubt I'd join in if I was there. But it's not appropriate to boo a player who's been injured but fans think he's taking too long to get on a stretcher, but we've all seen that. In fact was it correct for the QPR fans to boo Terry over the weekend? He's not been proven to have done anything wrong yet, so should be considered innocent until proven guilty, but still the Rangers faithful gave him an earful.
End of the day that's football, its not always dignified, not always right, and rarely politically correct. But also do consider that while you've made up your mind on the Suarez/Evra case, the press has also, and obviously the FA panel did, as they found him guilty, there are still a good few Liverpool fans who feel the whole truth may not have come out of the process. Does that give them the right to boo, I don't know, but I don't think it makes them racist or actually much different from the majority of vocal supporters in the stands.

Today sees the opening in Los Angeles of the new documentary Tim's Vermeer produced by Penn & Teller and directed by Teller. Reviews are stellar with a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. So I thought this was a good day to share my own painting mystery -- what we might call, "Stan's Houdini."
I bought this on eBay back in 2006. The auction gave no details, but I thought it was good enough that it could be unused cover art for a Houdini book, maybe early art for the "Childhood of American Heroes" series (hence the emphasis on the American flag). When I received it, I discovered writing on the back that showed it was painted by "Stan Willard" and that it had won "2nd Place, B.V. Art Fair, May 17, 1972."
So not book cover art. But in it's own way, just a special. I now think of this as a piece of Houdini-themed American folk art that wonderfully celebrates the Master Mystifier. It now lives atop my Houdini bookcases.
But the mystery remains. Who exactly was Stan Willard and is there more to the story of his Houdini painting? If anyone out there knows, I'd love to hear from you.

It could be "B.U.," as in Boston University. It might be worth checking a news archive to see if a Stan Willard won anything at an art exhibition. (Unfortunately, Google News archive no longer exists, and its Custom Range function has been broken for a long time.)ReplyDelete
Ah, I never considered B.U.ReplyDelete
I was thinking it might be the Bella Vista Arts & Crafts Festival. Been around for a long time.Replies
Oh, interesting. I wonder what other Willard pieces are out there and if he's still doing art. (Note: Google News archives are still up, but they no longer have a link from the news area.)Delete
