We just got DirecTV Latino (hbb loves soccer), which includes CNN en Español. I've never watched it much before, but my friend Alvaro and I turned it there in time for the evening news show, "Panorama Mundial," which he promised was actually pretty good. The first story, of course, was Gaza.
And Alvaro was right. Five minutes in, and I couldn't believe I was actually hearing analysis tonight. Tonight's show featured a lengthy, in-depth story about the Free Gaza movement's boat attack, without skirting around the "accosting" vs. "ramming" issue. Ugh. Fuck you, Israel.
It also featured an interview with Argentinian professor and sociologist, Pedro Breiger, where they discussed Brazil's plans to intervene in the current massacre, as the UN is useless due to US veto power. I've translated it below:
PATRICIA JANOIT (Anchor): To talk about this new chapter of Israel-Hamas relations, the attacks which have been condemned by many world capitals, and of what might be Brazil's role in mediating through convening an emergency UN meeting, joining us from Buenos Aires is Pedro Brieger, an international politics analyst. Thanks for being with us Mr. Brieger.
PEDRO BRIEGER: Good evening.
PJ: What would be the conditions that would bring about a truce – a cease fire – between Israel and Hamas?
PB: I think that it depends, first of all, on what Israel does because it is the most powerful party. It is clear we are not talking about two forces of similar strength. The Israeli government has said that, for now, it will not accept a truce although there seems to be differences between what the Prime Minister has put forth – that Israel will continue forward until it accomplishes all of its objectives – and what it looks like the Israeli defense establishment is currently planning which is a truce within the next 48 hours. However, there exist many ministers within the Israeli cabinet who suggest continuing forward, to enter Gaza, and to abolish Hamas. Hamas, for its part, holds that there will be no truce as long as the blockade continues on the Gaza Strip and as long as Israeli bombardment continues.
PJ: In case of a ground attack, is it possible that Israel could decide to continue forward with that before there could be a truce?
PB: It's difficult to know. It appears to me that Israel's intention right now is to enter the Gaza Strip in order to destroy the government of Hamas – but this is just a hypothesis. One must try to read between the lines of what Israeli military leaders say: the possibility of cutting the Gaza Strip into two; of cutting it into various portions in order to control each of the portions within that tiny territory that is barely 60 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide. But it is not yet known what Israel is going to do because it hasn't become clear what Israel's objectives are militarily, and what it's objectives are politically. That's why it's not known if it will accept a truce, if it's objective is to abolish Hamas – because the objective it first stated was that it was trying to prevent more rockets into Israeli territory, launched by Hamas. Not only have they not succeeded, the rocket fire has intensified. From this point of view, Israel's first objective has failed to this day. But we must also take into account that Israel's occupation of the West Bank is part of the problem. This problem is not one isolated to the Gaza Strip despite that Palestinians are divided between the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. There exists a central problem which continues to be the Israeli occupation of the West Bank in spite that those governing the West Bank – these are the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas – reject terrorism and condemn Hamas.
PJ: We are seeing many countries coming together – Arab and non-Arab – uniting to support Hamas. Do you think the group is becoming stronger in spite of Israel's intention to debilitate it through this bombardment?
PB: I don't think it's a support directed to Hamas. What it is, is a great condemnation of Israeli politics. As the president of Brazil, Lula da Silva, has said, if we compare the two forces, on one side we have a bomb, and on the other side a match. In other words, the forces are highly unequal. What the world is seeing is one of the largest armies on the planet bombing a very small area and killing tens of civilians. This is what provokes a world reaction. The problem is that the UN is not intervening, which is why Brazil's president is proposing an urgent necessity to assemble a mediation that will include Brazil, France, and other countries. The UN is not intervening. The US's president-elect, Barack Obama, is not intervening either.
PJ: Well, and other countries, like Brazil's Lula da Silva, think that the UN doesn't possess sufficient anger to take a firm stance over the area. Is this opinion increasing?
PB: It's what President da Silva put forth today, in a discussion as he said that the UN is controlled by the United States, therefore, a mediation cannot be achieved; a solution cannot be achieved. You can also read between the lines there that the US obstructs the condemnation of Israel not only in regards to the bombings of Gaza – one must read between the lines a little further than that and must see the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza since 1967 and recall the infamous UN resolution 242 of 1967 which demands that Israel withdraw to its pre- 1967 War boundaries, which Israel has not realized. This is why I believe we must not see the Gaza Strip as isolated even if today, concretely, the strongest military confrontation is seen in the Gaza Strip, but in the West Bank there have been protests against the Israeli occupation and there have been dead Palestinians. This is why we must take the Gaza Strip and the West Bank as part of the same problem.
PJ: We would like to thank you very much, Mr. Pedro Brieger, for your collaboration in Panorama Mundial, directly from Buenos Aires.

Six of the eight Price Busters stores on Oahu have closed down.
The last two stores -- in Kalihi and Kailua -- will shut their doors by the end of the weekend.
Click here to watch Cam Tran's report.
The closures mean nearly 200 employees will be laid off.
Judy Boulton was one of the customers taking advantage of the 75 percent off deals at the Price Busters liquidation sale Wednesday.
"I got some great uniform pants. I'm a nurse and only for $2. I'm used to paying $20," she said.
The locally owned discount store will close permanently by Sunday.
The retailer said it had to close due to increasing shipping and operating costs.
The store started on Oahu in 1992.
Organizing the last of the merchandise and seeing the bare shelves has been difficult for Tabitha Williams. She started with the company 11 years ago and grew within the ranks to become a store manager.
"I would say yesterday, taking the fixtures down at the Highland store, is where it hit me again," Williams said. "Just looking around the store knowing that's where I started."
However, Julie Plant, Price Busters' operations manager, said the company is actively helping employees find other jobs by working with the state unemployment office and hosting a job fair.
"We had tons of retailers who contacted us who wanted to be part of this job fair so we held a job fair for 100 employees," Plant said. "They had the opportunity to do interviewing already and turn in job applications."
The Kailua store will close Thursday while the one in Kalihi will remain open through Sunday.
The store manager said whatever is left after the liquidation sale will be donated to local schools and churches.

|Rajon Rondo: 'It's the worst pain I've ever been in playing ball'
|07.14.11 at 2:59 pm ET
At his annual basketball camp in Louisville, Rajon Rondo took time to talk to reporters earlier this week. The local Fox affiliate has the video.
Among the things he discussed are his dislocated elbow, an injury he suffered in Game 3 of the Celtics playoff series with Miami. "It's the worst pain I've ever been in playing ball," Rondo said. "I'm still in a little bit of pain right now, but the swelling is down. The only thing is there's swelling in my joint. I'll be fine, it just takes time. I've got a couple more weeks that I'm off, as far as rest and the repetition of weights."
As for possibly playing overseas, Rondo said he's talked to his agent Bill Duffy about it, but it doesn't sound like it's in his future. "A lot of things go into playing overseas, a lot of little things you have to take care of," he said. "For me, right now, I'm just focused on getting healthy — getting healthy and getting better for my team next year, the Boston Celtics."
|List: Danny Ainge's best, worst draft day moves
|06.23.11 at 8:37 am ET
The Celtics' season has been over for a while now, and if you're still in mourning, we're sorry. But it's times like these when it's best to look to the future, and in this case, that means Thursday's NBA draft. The C's have the 25th pick in a relatively thin class, but as history has shown, Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge always is capable of creating some draft day drama. Here are a few of Ainge's best moves when the Boston is "on the clock" (followed by a few he'd rather have back).
5. Drafting Ryan Gomes in the second round in 2005
Overall, the 2005 NBA draft was a disappointment for the Celtics (see below), but Ainge managed to pluck a promising talent out of the second round. Boston took Ryan Gomes of Providence with the 50th pick, one spot ahead of Robert Whaley and two spots behind Mickael Gelabale. Gomes started 33 games in his first year and 60 his second year, and ended up averaging 12.1 points and 5.6 rebounds per game in 2006-07. In the same fashion as Al Jefferson, Gomes saw his trade value increase with his breakout season, and he eventually was used as one of the many pieces in the Kevin Garnett trade.
Gomes never was a back-to-the-basket player in college and was vastly undersized in the NBA. Still, he's managed to develop into a solid small forward for the Clippers and is averaging over 10 points per game in his career.
4. Trading for Kendrick Perkins in 2003
In his first year as general manager, Ainge had two first-round picks in one of the most talented draft classes in NBA history. No, he didn't miraculously trade up for LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony, or Dwyane Wade, but he did trade draft picks Dahntay Jones and Troy Bell to the Grizzlies for their first-round picks, Marcus Banks and Kendrick Perkins. You might only recognize one name from that transaction, but KP43 is the only one that mattered.
|Danny Ainge is realistic about the 2011 draft
|06.22.11 at 2:48 pm ET
WALTHAM — On the eve of the 2011 NBA draft, Celtics president Danny Ainge said that it's unlikely the team will find much help for the upcoming season with the 25th pick in the first round.
"When you're drafting where we're drafting, I'm not trying to put a negative spin on this, I'm trying to be realistic, the 25th pick in the draft is probably not going to help us, immediately," Ainge said on Wednesday at the team's training facility in Waltham. "But there are some players that we think can fit our roster, fit into the personality of our team and have a work ethic that can make our team better in practice and add depth to our roster."
Ainge said that had no intention of trading the future Clippers pick that is top-10 protected through 2016 to move up in this year's draft and agreed with the overall sentiment that this is a down year for talent. 'The picks we have aren't good enough to get to the very, very top of the draft and we think next year's draft will be better," Ainge said.
Here are some other items of interest from Wednesday's media gathering that also included coach Doc Rivers:
On Rajon Rondo: "He's not 100 percent yet," Ainge said. "He's probably about four weeks away from playing basketball at full speed, but he can do some training and conditioning right now."
Rondo was running on a treadmill above the practice court at Waltham and wasn't wearing any kind of a brace for his elbow that he dislocated in the playoffs. He turned down requests for an interview.
On Jermaine O'Neal: "He has every intention of coming back," Ainge said. "Something could happen, that he won't come back, but he has every desire to come back and play, and he didn't like the way it finished this year. He doesn't want to end his career on that kind of note, wants to be a much bigger contributor next year."
O'Neal has been in Waltham getting treatment and working out and Ainge said that O'Neal decided not to have more surgery on his knee.
On Lawrence Frank, who has been a finalist for several head-coaching jobs: "Lawrence has interest in coming back," Ainge said. "Lawrence will have an opportunity to coach, as you know, he's been a top candidate in a lot of teams this year. We want Lawrence back. Lawrence will have options with other teams, too, he's not under contract, so he has an option to explore all those options."
Frank was also getting in some treadmill time.
Ainge also confirmed that free agent center Nenad Krstic has signed with CSKA Moscow and will not be back.
On possibly trading one of their core players: "We love our core group. I will just say this. I never tell players that I would never do anything like that," Ainge said. "We have to keep our options open and explore. That's my job. Our intention is to bring our core group back."
Sports Illustrated NBA writer Chris Mannix checked in with the Dennis & Callahan show Wednesday morning to talk about the Celtics and Thursday's NBA draft. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
Mannix said Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge will not shy away from dealing any player in order to avoid a slow descent into mediocrity, and he noted that even the team's young star, Rajon Rondo, has been the subject of trade talks in the recent past.
"I think he's talking about moving everybody. I really do," Mannix said of Ainge. "I've had conversations with different people around the league; I would throw Rajon Rondo on that list as well. '¦ He has explored dealing Rajon Rondo in the past. He has talked to other GMs about him in the past. I'm not saying he's been willing to pull the trigger in the past, but Rajon Rondo has been on the table in the past year or so.
"This is just something that Danny does. He's not afraid to make the blockbuster deal if he thinks it helps him in the long term. So, I think Danny is absolutely working the phones right now. I think every one of those guys is on the table for a potential deal that he's sure is going to help him.
"This goes back to what I thought the second after Doc Rivers signed that five-year extension," Mannix continued. "Doc didn't sign on for five years to be part of a team that just decomposes as it goes back to the Gerald Green era from a few years ago. He believes this team is going to be able to contend in Year 3, 4 and 5, when presumably Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen are gone. But to do that, I think Danny is going to have to shake up the roster. And I absolutely believe, right now, before the draft, after the draft, in the offseason, whenever he's able to talk to these teams again once the lockout is lifted, he is going to be aggressive on the phone lines trying to improve his team."

|Transcript of Shaquille O'Neal on D&C: 'I didn't want to let the people of Boston down two years in a row'
|06.03.11 at 11:06 am ET
Future Hall of Famer Shaquille O'Neal called in to the Dennis & Callahan show Friday morning, the day of his scheduled press conference at his Orlando house to formally announce his retirement after one injury-plagued season with the Celtics and 19 years in the NBA.
Asked if this is a happy or sad day, O'Neal said: "A little bit of both. Business-wise, I felt that the Boston organization and the people of Boston treated me very, very well. I could have gotten a little minor surgery and then been out for nine months, but then we would have been in the same situation again, everybody sitting around waiting for me. So, I thought it was great business to let Danny [Ainge] go out and get some younger talent."
Added O'Neal: "I didn't want to let the people of Boston down two years in a row."
Asked if he's 100 percent certain that he will stay retired, Shaq coyly replied: "For now, yes."
Following is a transcript of the conversation. To hear the interview, go to the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
The big question is where does Shaq appear on the Mount Rushmore of big men in the NBA. Is that a question you want to deal with?
I never really deal with it. For me, coming from where I come from, how I was taught to play the game ' my father used to mention all those great names to me. Like, "Son, when you block a shot, don't show off and knock it out of bounds. Keep in inbounds, like the great Bill Russell. Son, I need you to dominate. I need them to change the rules for you like they with Wilt Chamberlain. You know what, son, the jump hook is nice. I need you to shoot the little hook like Kareem [Abdul-Jabbar]."
So, for me to have my name mentioned next to those guys ' and you can't forget Chief, Robert Parish. He was great. too. So, for me to have my name mentioned up there, it's a blessing.
|Wyc Grousbeck on D&C: 'I want Miami to lose so badly'
|05.25.11 at 9:56 am ET
Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck joined the Dennis & Callahan show Wednesday morning during a charity benefit for the Massachusetts Soldiers Legacy Fund at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Boston. To hear the interview, visit the Dennis & Callahan audio on demand page.
After the Celtics lost to the Heat in the Eastern Conference semifinals, Grousbeck was asked if he is still watching the playoffs. "I am watching this year because I want Miami to lose so badly," he said, adding "I'm rooting hard against the Heat."
Grousbeck said he will be rooting for the Mavericks the rest of the way because of his relationship with Mavs owner Mark Cuban. Said Grousbeck: "I love the guy. … He's just a good guy. He genuinely roots for us against other teams. He is a Celtics fan when he's not a Mavs fan. And we're going to return the favor."
Grousbeck did give the Heat credit. "I thought they outplayed us in the series," he said. "They had more juice. They had more pop. I can't really deny that. I would have loved to take that Monday night game in Boston and make it 2-2 and see what happened. I think we might have won the thing. But I don't really regret with like a huge missed chance. I'm just annoyed we didn't beat them."
When asked about the trade of Kendrick Perkins, Grousbeck said he felt Perkins was not the difference in losing to the Heat. "I love Perk, but I don't think our issue was guarding their 5 spot," he said. "Our issue was guarding their 2, 3 and 4. So, not only did we need Jeff Green, we needed about three more of him."
Grousbeck played down the chemistry factor. "We had gotten that far in the season without Perk. He hadn't played essentially the entire season," Grousbeck said. "So, we were starting the games with [Shaquille O'Neal] and finishing the games with [Glen Davis]. And that would have continued in the playoffs if Perk was there. So, Perk wouldn't have been starting if Shaq had been healthy.
"Where the plan fell short is Shaq not being able to come back; we thought he could."

Thor Nelson: Wait, his name is Thor?
Blogger: Vance
Well a couple days ago he was doing the Edmonton - Islanders game (no wonder he was so pissed) and he got taken out by Kyle Brodziak (who?) on a rush out of the defensive zone. Well Thor took offense to the fact that a player would dare skate where he was standing and let him have it. To the video.
Edit:: OMG! BTW NSFW! (unless you're wearing headphones)
HA! First a ref tells Ryan Miller to wail away on himself, now we have this guy, Thor, gettin his panties in a bunch after being embarrassed on regional Alberta TV. What a bunch of dicks with a false sense of self entitlement, all because they're refs. Sheesh

Although some people choose to be outcasts of society, others are forced. Beginning in our early years, most of us want to 'fit in' with our peers and be a part of a group. In order to do so we look, think and behave in certain ways. This process continues and becomes even more complicated as we age. There are others, however, who have either no desire or capability of ever fitting in. Of these, some gather on the fringe of society. Others, too unusual or deviant, are virtual outcasts.
Inmates are the clearest example of society's outcasts. With behavior so deviant from mainstream expectations, they are banished to fenced-in buildings on the edges of what tend to be already unpopular towns. An inmate's identity as an outcast often begins to form long before his first incarceration. Some sadly relate a life history of peer rejection, while others coolly discount the importance of acceptance. Having a certain amount of awareness of their early failure to fit-in, a number of inmates inform me that, as children, they essentially chose to opt-out - opting instead, for gangs. It was in gangs that many finally found their first taste of acceptance and success.
Everyone seems to have a different opinion of gangs. Some see them as groups of hoodlums or even national terrorists while others believe that they act as pseudo-families. In reality, they are probably all of these things. Each gang seems to fulfill a somewhat different purpose and meaning to each and every member. But if I were to make one categorical statement regarding gangs in America today, I would say that they are an alternative society - they offer their members an alternative to mainstreamed norms.
Like most peer groups, gangs have standards that must be met for membership. Although these expectations vary by gang, most tend to value characteristics shunned by the general public - particularly a willingness to become engaged in violence and illegal activity. (For a detailed account of gangs in America see the FBI's electronic reading room.) In most gangs, members must 'put in work' in order to advance themselves in their organization. 'Work' entails those acts that higher-ranking members will not do because of the elevated risk for legal action or retaliation. It may include street level drug trade, intimidation of turf rivals or even murder, to name a few. In time, with good work, demonstrated loyalty and business skills, the worker or 'soldier' may rise within his ranks.
Suddenly the gang member, a former social outcast, has recognized skills. His peers and colleagues praise his work and look to him for advice. He advances his social and economic status. Young children, teens and similarly situated adults in his neighborhood hope to emulate him.
For the first time in his life he is meeting the expectations of others. He has even earned their respect. Acknowledging this, he begins to believe that he is successful. His friends and neighbors agree.
Society concludes that they are misguided, delusional even. After all, an American success story does not depict the life of a gangster. But even a strict interpretation of word 'successful' supports him. After all, the dictionary defines it as: 1. Having a favorable outcome, 2. Having obtained something desired or intended, and 3. Having achieved wealth or eminence.
As this just cannot be, we must re-examine his lifestyle by adding morals to our final judgment. We conclude that his and his gang's success should not come at the expense of society. So mistakenly believing that he still has a strong sense of duty to an unaccepting society, we beg of him to give it all up, 'For the greater good,' we plead.
In response he ponders: Leave my gang, my livelihood, and my fame behind - for what? To reclaim my downtrodden past, my impoverished lifestyle? To return to a society that does not like or respect my accomplishments or acquired skills?
And very often, the answer is 'No'.

obama has been assemblymen for years, palin was mayor of 9,000
Rasmussen, a guy who predicted that Sarah Palin would be the VP of John McCain which is a guess that few only could make correct, made a report about Obama and Palin.
Take in fact that Obama is running for President and Palin is only running for Vice President.
51% of the country voted that the Media is trying to help Barack Obama become President. Showing the proof of my explanation of stations like MSNBC who attack Republicans on non-political issues and make Obama out to be some Saint, or Apollo with the Greek Columns he had at the Democratic National Convention, that even made me laugh.
49% of the country voted that Sarah Palin was more experienced than Barack Obama, and we haven't even seen a debate yet, well Democrats it looks like Experience is hitting you harder than ever. And the Republican VP is turning out a stronger candidate than your Presidential nominee. Are you still asking how she will be ready to lead a country in case McCain, god for bid, passes away? Half this country thinks that she is just as qualified as your President.
"The Knicks are back" - Amare
You'll see a debate, soon enough: Palin and McCain will have their butts handed to them, very soon: no speech writers, neutral crowds, the need for intelligence= the Republican ticket will get destroyed in the wash.
This is coming from a non-democrat, by the way. I don't like any party, whether Republican, Democrat, Independent, etc., etc. I think common sense should come ahead of party principles. I just don't want another Republican president in office, after what I saw with Bush. Forgive me if I fear a Republican doing the same thing that other Republicans have done... it's crazy, I know.
just because McCain fought in a war doesn't mean hes experienced to be president. In fact, McCain really didn't have much a choice whether to stay in Viet or not. I know he was asked if to leave, but things wouldn't have worked out good if he did, well, for his name at least.
Paul's argument about experience is weak.
Hillary Clinton had more experience than Obama. And who won? Obama. So I guess the public wants more than just experience.
John McCain is corrupt; all he cares about is wars and power. He even said that he wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years, and he said that he would be willing to fight Iran. McCain should change his name to WarCain.
I'm not going to get involved in any debates, since everything that I posted is true. McCain is corrupt, and if that upsets anybody, that's their problem.

And you have no proof that my experience argument is weak when almost half of America thinks that the Republican VP has more experience than the Democratic Presidental nominee. And I still have yet a person to tell me what Barack Obama has done to show that he can be a good president.

Barack Obama defeated Hillary Clinton.
There's my proof.

Paul, you need to admit when you're wrong. Your argument is very weak.
VP nominee Joe Biden has more political experience than Republican Presidential nominee John McCain.
Biden's POLITICAL experience(not military experience): 1970-2008
McCain's POLITICAL experience(not military experience): 1983-2008
Does that mean that Obama is going to win by a landslide?
And please don't bring up John McCain's experience in Vietnam, because that has nothing to do with being in the Senate, House of Representatives, Congress, City Council, etc.
This is the last post that I will make on this thread. I'm simply presenting facts.

But what has Biden accomplished? And what has Obama accomplished? That is part of the experience category.
And BTW, being in the military is part of experience, his stories show character of bravery and never giving up and never leaving your men behind. That gave him the attitude to support the Surge which was a success and he helped persuade some Democrats into agreeing with him, he is a reformer.
McCain has accomplishments. Barack...no. Biden...known to be an expert on foreign policy...how? He was against the Surge, there is some expertise for you. Especially since more people think McCain can do better on Foreign Policy. Palin....yes to experience, i have explained it before.
Biden might have more years but has rarely any accomplishments. McCain has accomplishments and Palin also does even though she's only been a Mayor and Governor.
I don't want to get deep in this, but when it comes to experience the Republicans win this one due to the accomplishments, not the years in Senate. This is why Palin rates over Obama, because of accomplishments.
Then you have to look at their views and what they have said overtime. That shows if they can lead a country responsibly and honestly, and that's what AMerica is voting for right now, more of views and quotes than experience.

A List of the Major Signs
Auf bin Malik (R.A.) says: I came to Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) while he was in his skin tent during the Tabuk expedition. He said to me, "Count six things before the advent of Qiyamah:* My death* The conquest of Jerusalem* Mass deaths amongst you people, just as when sheep die in largenumbers during an epidemic* Abundance of wealth to such an extent that if a person were to begiven a hundred Dinars he will still not be satisfied* General anarchy and bloodshed, that no Arab household will be sparedfrom it* Then a life of peace as a result of a peace agreement between youand the Banil Asfaar(Romans) which they will break and attack you with a force consistingof eighty flags and under each flag will be an army of twelve thousandmen."(Bukhari).Signs Before the Major Signs (i.e. before the emergence of Imam Mahdi)Christain Rule Will be dominantANOMALOUS INCIDENTS WILL OCCUROccurrence of red winds, disfiguration of faces (man to pig), and people being swallowed into the ground.GENOCIDEA man from Abu Sufyaan's progeny massacres descendents of Nabi (S.A.W) and rules over Syria and Egypt.WARA major war between Muslims and Christians: Half the Christian army will sign a peace treaty with the Muslim army, while the second half of the Christian army remains the common enemy.ISTANBUL CONQUERED BY CHRISTIANSThe enemy half of the Christian army conquers Constantinople (Istanbul), Turkey.ISTANBUL RECONQUERED JOINTLY BY MUSLIM AND CHRISTIANSThe Muslims and the good half of the Christian army conquer Constantinople together, against the enemy Christians.

The year is not known to any person. Qiyamah will come upon the worst of creation.Taken from:'Signs of Qiyamah' by Mohammed Ali Ibn Zubair Ali and 'Major Signs of Qiyamat' by Mufti Afzal Hoosen Elias

The reason we picked the spot in the first place was for some potential bouldering along the cliffs that outline the beach. In the morning, we woke up and hit the limestone. Although disappointed by the early morning's wet, slippery rock that crumbled and poked our hands a little too roughly, we still got to enjoy the beautiful sites and a refreshing rinse in the freezing water.
Punakaiki sits near the north side of the West Coast. A couple kilometers north of our campsite, visitors crowd the area known for it's "pancake rocks," flat rock formations that resemble stacks of pancakes. There's also a "blowhole" where rough waves splash up through holes in the rocks.
After leaving Punakaiki, we headed about 20 kilometers north to Charleston, a spot on the West Coast that attracts rock climbers from all over. The climbing routes sit directly on the water, a short 15-minute hike from the first carpark on the left after the motor home. The routes are full of cracks and mostly trad climbing. While we did spot a few helmeted climbers (much of the rock in the area is loose and crumbly), the climbing site was far from crowded.

CANNON AIR FORCE BASE — Cannon has lost eight F-16s in crashes since 1997, according to newspaper archives.
Nov. 27, 2006 — An F-16 assigned to the base's 524th Fighter Squadron crashed in Iraq while supporting coalition ground combat operations. The fate of the pilot is unknown. However, the pilot was not from Cannon, base officials said.
Sept. 10, 2002 — An F-16 fighter pilot died when his jet crashed about 50 miles west of Cannon Air Force Base during a routine training mission, Air Force officials said.
The crash occurred about 8:30 p.m. on private property near Fort Sumner.
Capt. Benton Zettel, 26, of Englewood, Colo., was killed. Zettel, who was assigned to the 522nd Fighter Squadron, had been in the military since 1998 and stationed at Cannon since October 2000.
March 22, 2001 — An F-16 fighter jet from Cannon Air Force Base crashed near the Melrose Bombing Range just after 11 a.m.
The pilot, Capt. Dawn Hokaj (pronounced Hoak-eye), assigned to Cannon's 522nd Fighter Squadron, ejected safely just before her airplane experienced engine failure and crashed about 30 miles west of Clovis.
December 2000 — An F-16 from Cannon went down in the Gulf of Mexico about 40 miles south of Panama City, Fla. The pilot suffered minor injuries.
July 1999 — An F-16C from Cannon practicing intercepting other aircraft crashed north of Hobbs after experiencing engine trouble. The pilot ejected safely.
Sept. 1, 1998 — A single-seat F-16 crashed during a training mission with other jets in rural De Baca County. The pilot managed to eject from the falling plane, but suffered numerous injuries.
Dec. 4, 1998 — An F-16 from Cannon crashed on ranch land south of Fort Sumner. A broken compressor blade caused the engine to fail. The pilot was not injured, but a passenger taking an ''incentive flight'' suffered a broken ankle when he ejected.
May 12, 1997 — A Cannon F-16 was lost near Vaughn during a training mission. The single-engine plane came down in an unpopulated area about 5 miles north of Vaughn. The pilot ejected from the plane and was unhurt.

Credit limits have an excellent effect on your credit scores. The device of Revolving Utilization makes effect here. Allow me to explain how your credit limit may adjust your click. Assume that you've 10 credit cards with a of $500 each. Your total credit limit arrives to be $5000. Incase you've previously applied $ 2500 out of your limit, and then you just have 50 percent of your limit readily available for you. Now creditors and credit score agencies can examine your score on the basis of the ratio between your total limit and the available total. Such a situation it is possible to call the credit agencies seeking the credit bureaus from an in your credit limits, which is not really a big deal for them and just choose a telephone. If your boundaries are improved by them to double, the available balance for you personally comes out to be $5000 again. You can easily decrease the credit to available stability ratio from 50 % to 33 %. More over calling these firms is also free because they have toll free numbers. So you've just increased your credit score but just making several free calls. Not really a poor deal.Control Your Expences:Credit available increase demand may give way to inquiries and these inquiries also lessen your credit score, so you should get a control increase within 14 days. The 14 day period theory works perfectly as the credit score assessing organizations don't know why the third party is enquiring your credit. All inquiries with 14 days are arranged and considered as one and will not be costing any additional enquiry to the account. Yet another great advice isn't to use the increased amount lavishly. After you get the credit control improved doest imply that you start paying it. Actually you've to keep it to be able to preserve a balance between your available and invested limit. This plan may be easily applied every six months.Another thing you should do is make sure, absolutely sure that you pay your active bills punctually. Some reports show that you get extra credit if you pay more than just the minimal amount due, but on time in any event, ensure you pay it. When you are mailing a payment, send it at least per week before the due date to make sure that it gets posted for your requirements on or before the specific due date.Another helpful point is Debt consolidation. Various obligations can be consolidated by you with one agency paying them off for you. So you need to spend the money back to the single company rather than a amount of organizations or individuals.

Doc Love: Just Friends
The price of being unprepared
What is interesting is that you actually noticed that Marcella's interest in you was going down. Despite that huge red flag, you still didn't say to yourself, "I've got to get a hold of Doc's program right away and try to figure out why her Interest Level is in a tailspin!" You never asked yourself what was really going on, and you didn't reach out for the one thing that could actually help you — my book.
And as so often happens when you're shortsighted and unprepared, you compounded the situation by making another mistake. How in the world do you go out on a date with a girl you like and get "tired"? Why would you go out on a date in the first place if you were bushed? And, of course, this was on top of committing the blunder of going out with one of Marcella's friends in tow. No group dates is the rule, but you weren't aware of it. Third, you don't ask a girl if she wants to get together; you just assume you're going to get together. You name the place and time, and say, "Is it OK to pick you up then?"
Just friends
When you heard the words "as friends" fall from Marcella's lips, it meant her Interest Level had just gone from 51% to 49%, and you were out forever the instant she uttered them. Like my cousin Fast Eddie Love from East L.A. says, "If she wants to be just friends with you, it also means that she will never have anything to do with you again, even if you were the last man on the face of the earth."
You shouldn't just give up trying Marcella for a while, pal. You should give up on her forever. This thing is done. It's over. Like my cousin Brother Love down in Watts says, "When you hear the word 'friends,' it's the kiss of death."
No Second Chances
You can't give this thing even one minute more because you're done. Finished. What you don't understand is that Marcella doesn't even give you a thought anymore. When you cross paths on the bus, you don't even register for her. She doesn't see your face; she sees another guy's face. You're a complete stranger to her. This is what most guys never understand. To you Psych majors, once you blow it with a girl, you don't even exist for her. You just blend into the traffic and the passing scenery and all the other passengers on the bus.
No, Alain, you're not going to approach Marcella. Why? Because it's a complete waste of time. And if you did, why would you bring up anything negative, like the last date? All you'd be doing would be putting yourself down. Why would you want to do that? What's patently obvious to me is that you don't know the first thing you're doing, dude. How long are you going to wait before you put an end to your confusion?
Remember, guys: If she wants to be just friends, you're out.

The town was abuzz about its Refugio Bobcats who defeated the Waskom Wildcats on Thursday night, Dec. 12, in Houston's Reliant Stadium.
"Oh, man, I was very happy. When (Waskom) got the first 14 points, I was worried," said Mayor Joey Heard. "But by halftime, they had it sewed up."
Heard said everybody he's seen is really happy.
"Ecstatic," he described the environment in Refugio.
Heard added that parties were going on through Refugio on Thursday night ... thrown by those who couldn't attend the game in Houston.
Predicting that Cisco would win its game Saturday, which it did, Heard said, "It's going to be a grudge match. They already hate us," he said.
In 2011, the Bobcats defeated Cisco for the state title. So Cisco well knows the potential of the Refugio Bobcats.
"This will probably be a good game," Heard said.
"The Bobcats have a lot of heart, and they are playing good football. Like Coach Herring said, they came together at the right time. They're going into the game with that confidence," Heard said.
"If they get down, that doesn't bother them. They are all cookin' together," Heard said.
The mayor, who was not at the game because of illness, said he plans on proposing something to the Refugio City Council to recognize the Bobcats.
Refugio County Judge Rene Mascorro was at the game. His son Christian, is a guard on the Bobcats team.
"I'm really excited. They're so young to be going to a championship game. It came together in the last few weeks, and they will show everybody they are contenders for the championship," he said.
The Bobcats defeated Rogers in overtime on Nov. 29, 73-72, and then East Bernard on Dec. 7, 40-34 – some of the toughest 2A teams in Texas.
Of course, the Bobcats dispensed with the Waskom Wildcats on Dec. 12, 69-33.
"Yes, they will win state. Once you get to the state finals, it'll be a tough game. It won't be a blowout. It will be a war," Mascorro said.
"When they get behind, they won't panic. They are used to playing in that environment. There's no 'quit' for them," he said.
Mascorro said the "expectation" of winning is a great psychological factor for the team.
"These kids don't know the difference. When they walk onto the field, they can beat 5A or any team," he said.
"It's a huge advantage over competition. These kids have been playing together since the first grade. The bleed orange and black," Mascorro said.
"They're reputation precedes them wherever they go," he added.
Do other teams "fear" the Bobcats?
"At this level in the playoffs, it's respect, not fear. They know they have to bring their A-game because we're going to play to the end," Mascorro said.
He said after the East Bernard game, one youth turned up without his Bobcats sweatshirt.
"I asked him what happened," Mascorro said.
Turns out a kid from East Bernard offered to buy the sweatshirt, so the Refugio kid sold it.
"They still respect us, even after we win," Mascorro said.
The judge said he would be at the state finals, "God willing." He expects the rest of the county and South Texas to be there, as well, to support the Bobcats.
"It's not very often for South Texas to have a team win state," he said.
Usually, it's the northern or eastern teams ending up in the state finals.
Mascorro said the Thursday showing of fans was impressive at Reliant Stadium with five sections filled.
"That's a little town in the middle of the week," he said.
A place Bobcat team members frequent – El Taco Riendo – also was all smiles.
Oddly, the Spanish word "Riendo" appropriately means "happy."
Rowland Patino, who owns the Mexican food cafe along with his wife, Mary, was holding a thumbs-up sign on Friday morning, Dec. 13.
"At the beginning of the game, it was scary," Rowland said.
"But the Bobcats picked it up," he added.
"The other team (Waskom)... they started getting tired," Mary said.
"The Bobcats had that determination. They were set up in their brain that they were going to get it," she said.
"It's because I feed them 'Bobcat Tacos,'" she added.
Mary is known to the players as "Mom."
She promised to change the name of her James Bond Taco to the Bobcat Taco if the Bobcats won the 2011 state title, which they did, and she did.
She also changed the name of her Oscar Taco to the Eagles Taco because Woodsboro was doing so well.
Will the Bobcats win the state title again?
"Definitely," Mary said.
She said her business has been in Refugio five years, and she has watched the players since middle school, particularly Travis Quintanilla.
She said she was impressed with the level of teamwork the Bobcats have demonstrated in the past several weeks.
And she plans on a treat for state champions when they return to Refugio after the final game.
Ray Quintanilla, Travis' dad, said he was very proud of his son.
"We started kind of bad, but we managed to come back and do what we had to do," he said of the game against Waskom.
"I'm really impressed with the whole team – offense and defense," he added.
"And my son is still throwing to different receivers," he said.
Quintanilla said his son set another record against Waskom ... most yardage in a single season.
As far as winning state, he said, "We're hoping. We we have played in the cold and inside."
And he said the team wants a win.
"I'm hoping for another victory," he said.
Refugio school district Superintendent Jack Gaskins also was excited.
"I'm excited, and I couldn't be more proud of the young men. They persevered. The work ethic is truly inspiring," Gaskins said.
"We certainly believe they have the ability to win state. We have confidence they will," he added.
Gaskins credited the Bobcats' hard work for their success.
"It goes back to all the hours they put in. They worked all summer long to be in top physical condition. They've had sheer determination and a lot of sweat and tears," Gaskins said.
"They tap into that work ethic when the score shows they're down," he said.
"It's been an amazing season. We believe it's a culmination of all that they've worked for."
And Coach Jason Herring agrees that the successes are the result of a lot of hard work.
Herring said he couldn't describe the feeling he had after his team defeated the Waskom Wildcats.
"It's an awesome feeling. I'm thrilled to death for the team, and I'm thrilled to death for the community," he said.
To the community, Herring had these words: "Thank you so much for all the support. We are very very grateful," he said.
Herring said Cisco, who the Bobcats will compete against in AT&T Stadium Thursday, Dec. 19, will be a tough match.
"It will be a great game against Cisco. We always try to have a wrinkle or two," Herring said.
"I just want to finish the job," he added.

Andy PGreat looking fork at a great price too. Performance out on the trails is just what you'd expect from Rockshox. Brilliant.
SpiderAwesome fork. Positive feedback across all terrain. Tunes to rider's needs. Best fork at this great price.
Mr JacobsUsual excellent Merlin price tempted me to this. Had a older Reba RLT 26" which worked well, this does exactly the same. I like a 'baggy' front fork which need good damping control, and this does just what I want. It's stiff enough for my Pipedream frame and light enough not to notice.
Mr SumpterThese latest forks are very good over the rough stuff they are so easy to set up and very light to boot! They have brought my hardtail back to life, highly recommended
Mr JonesBrilliant fork! After much online researching I settled on the Rockshox Reba and Merlin Cycles was by far the cheapest price I could find after much shopping around. The delivery was quick and easy with no fuss at all. I had my fork delivered from UK to NZ door to door in 5 working days. Brilliant! I took it to my local bike shop and had it installed that day. It performs beautifully and has really enhanced the handling of my mountain bike. The ride is much smoother on the trails and Pushloc remote lockout is an added bonus that is a great feature when grinding up smooth but steep hills. Could not be happier with the fork and the service from Merlin Cycles. I highly recommend both.
Mr Oliveros DuenasReally happy with the purchase. Product was properly described and supplied with documentation and spacers to reduce travel. Well protected in its packaging. Really happy with Merllin Cycles, I will use again and have already recommended to my friends.

Kind of a poor ergonomic, but better than the multi-spoke size spoke wrench. Also, could be difficult to use on wider bladed spokes. Better than some, but Park's professional series wrenches are still worth the money if you're building wheels.

you get what you pay for
By Smith John
from Ann Arbor, MI
I used one of these keys to build my own set of bikes wheels. They worked well for that build. I was just recently trying to repair some old wheels, the spokes were tight and a bit hard to budge. As I was using the tool the spoke key began to chip. Now it is useless. But, I certainly got my money's worth out of it already. So, no loss.

Get better quality ones instead
By Michel
from Montreal, Canada
About Me Competitive Cyclist
Although they are often on sale for cheap, get better quality spoke wrenches.The alloy is too soft and you cannot bring spokes to proper tension without the wrenches "stripping".May be ok for occasional road side repair to get back home after a broken spoke.[@]

Soft Cast Aluminum.
By cawoodwilly
from Arkansas
I was able to adjust the spokes on one wheel of my two bikes before it stripped out. I'm sure I was using the correct wrench because I had to push it on the niple. Both bikes are new and the pokes are new as well and turn fairly easy.I gave two stars because I was able to true one wheel that did not need it anyway.

windows xp and windows 7 dual boot issue: they won't
I read the complete step by step how to on setting up dual booting windows 7 and xp. I prepared all my partitions beforehand, and labeled them accordingly so there would be no confusion i. I installed windows 7 on my new SATA drive. Everything went OK, except that I never got a boot menu presented - to 7, it was as if XP was not there i.
I downloaded and installed, and ran, easybcd, and tried to add the xp menu entry manually. It asks for the drive, and the drive with xp on it is now, under windows 7, drive D (it is E when I boot xp). All necessary files (ntldr, ntdetect.com, boot.ini) are all on this drive. But when I try that menu entry, all the computer does is reboot. It will still only boot windows 7, unless I go into the BIOS settings and change the boot order of the hard drives (in this list, if I make the one with the Win7 partition nr 1, I can boot windows 7 and only that; if I make the one with the XP partition nr 1, I get my regular old boot menu from boot.ini (which also gets me into my wubi install of ubuntu). i
I would like to be able to boot into XP from the windows 7 boot menu, or, alternately, would like to boot windows 7 from the xp boot menu. (that would be even better). Does anyone have any pointers for me?
Thanks in advance.

AW: windows xp and windows 7 dual boot issue: they won't
Hy Mate...!
Best way to have stupid Windows7 on a dual boot system, is no windows. You will get lucky by using Ubuntu and Mountain Lion instead...! ;-)
Nevertheless, it sounds like You are in a real mess, because Win7 just reserves the boot priority anyway. I dont know why, sometimes new Win7 on dual boot systems behaves like a Submarine, You will be aware of the desaster by opening a window.
To solve the problem You should setup dual boot system in following order:
- Setup drive partitions by using "GParted - "Klick me...!" a powerfull Linux
partition tool that runs from USB-Stick for instance. Assign drive letters for NTFS partitions, otherwise xp setup assumes to be installed on c:\
- Download EasyBCD an easy tu use Freeware BootManager with GUI
"English Version - Klick me...!" dont use BCDedit
- It doesn't matter if Windows 7 or XP is "primary" or "secondary". You can only boot one of them on bootup at time.If you use the dual (multi) boot feature built into XP or Windows 7 to dual boot with, by default, ALL the System Restore restore points in Windows 7 are DELETED, EVERY TIME you boot XP. If this concerns, there is only one solution to solve situation by using MicroSoft BitLocker feature, but that's only available to you if you have the Ultimate or Business version of Windows 7. BitLocker is installed on a secret 20 GB partition wich will be installed during Win7 setup
- So run Windows7 Setup at first within all neccassery system drivers by device manufactors or whql-drivers and disable automatic drivermanagement to satisfact future use of the system.
- Since XP Setup will fuck up Win7 MBR You have to save the MBR to a USB-Device
Afterwards install XP to a fresh partition, not altering it or creating a new one, then restore the MBR from the backup. This would leave the dualboot exactly as it is now, except that XP will start up now because it's a new install.
If you want to go this route it's very important to first mark the XP partition as active and the 7 partition as inactive. Then boot from the XP setup disc and perform the install, taking care to overwrite the correct partition.
After that, you would then set the 7 partition active and the XP partition inactive again - it doesn't matter if you do this before or after reverting the MBR.
- To configure default boot system and startup details go to:
Control Panel / System / Advanced System Settings / rider extended / Startup and
Recovery / Settings
Normaly it should work in this way, if not..., Your questions are welcome. We stay tuned...!
