The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Andrew Treleaven didn't come to Libya to photograph the uprising against Muammar al-Qaddafi, he came to lend a hand. "I wanted to return to the Middle East after witnessing Cairo during its revolution, and I decided to travel to Libya to try to find a relief worker job," he explains. Yet when he arrived in the rebel stronghold of Benghazi a few weeks ago, he found that the relief agencies weren't hiring. So he picked up his camera. "Luckily," he says, "my Texas driver's license was enough to get me a press pass from the Transitional Council's media center."
The newly credentialed photojournalist has been capturing images of life in Benghazi, a city that's been on both sides of the conflict's shifting frontlines. Treleaven has followed the ragtag anti-Qaddafi rebels as they prepare to head into battle, shooting their makeshift training sessions, jury-rigged pickup trucks, and prayers for victory against a foe that's remained resolute in the face of NATO bombardment. "It takes a steely resolve to hop into a '85 Toyota with a Soviet-era machine gun welded to the cross bars and engage a tank division," he observes. "Every rebel commander I've spoken to believes without a doubt that they can win a rifle-on-rifle war against the Qaddafi loyalists and extraordinarily well-paid foreign mercenaries."
Treleaven's self-assigned role is a risky one. In the past two-and-a-half months, four journalists have been killed there, and dozens more have been injured, assaulted, or detained, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Last week, veteran photojournalists Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros were killed and their colleagues Guy Martin and Michael Brown were wounded in an attack by Qaddafi's forces. Manu Brabo, a Spanish photographer who shot these images of Libyan refugees, is currently being held in a military prison in Tripoli.
Despite the dangers and his concens about how the stalemated war will play out, Treleaven has gotten a sense of the exhilaration felt by many in Benghazi. He recalls a recent walk along the waterfront shortly after the rebel leadership had rejected a proposed ceasefire: "I took a picture of an adorable little girl holding a Libyan flag. Her father motioned me closer, and as I knelt down she toddled over and gave me a kiss on the cheek. A cool breeze blew across the waterfront, the warm, golden Mediterranean sun faded into the horizon, and for a moment I caught the Libyans' contagious belief that good times are just around the corner."

While having intercourse, the man empties a squirt-gatorade bottle. After squeezing all the air out, the man submerges the bottle in the vagina as much as possible, just as the girl is cuming. Once inside the women's vag, the man lets go of the bottle, filling it with amino acids. He then proceeds to feed these collected liquids to her, or squirt them on a friend. YUMMMM
Damn boi, that was one hell of a gatorade plunger. I can still taste the half-gallon of cum in my mouth.

The fact that you clearly had to stretch for these top 6 "scandals" of One Direction says something about the group. Louis falling on stage is a scandal? What's the issue with Niall, Selena, and Harry? Harry having to pee at an inopportune time means they're out of control? The only legitimate one was the Zayn and Louis video. So basically, this article should have been titled "the one scandal of One Direction".
Posted at 2:37 PM on June 1, 2014
It clearly proves the point that One Direction do not exactly do anything bad, and the media is pissed about it since they have no juicy story. Also, smoking weed was bad, but where they did it was legal, and last time I checked people in their 20's are allowed to smoke? The media nowadays disappoint me.

The Hard-on of all Hard-ons. A exagerated hard-on that one gets only two to three times a year and on every other leap year. A penis on steroid effect that enables its inhabitor endless sex. Symptons include a ripped burning feeling often upon onset, enlarged vessles, a purplish/blue pop-top, a chissled marble like texture, added girth of initial 1/3 of shaft and added overall length. Often the scrotum will tighten up and almost disappear as if the testicles have joined powers with the penis. WARNING-All women should be on the look out for these characteristics especially on one night stands as women have been known to be subject to injury.

The appartment is spacious and very close to the subway, you'll be in Manhattan in no time. However, we wouldn't recommend this place. When we arrived the Wifi didn't work. The host mentioned that the previous guests were mad about that, but apparently that was no reason to fix it in time for our visit. The next day Wifi still wasn't working and we had to ask again. Although the host was kind, this made us feel not very welcome. Also, it is noisy. The host lives above the appartment en woke us up multiple times, one time even vacuumcleaning and moving furniture at 7am. Lastly the bathroom is very old and moisty.
Great guy, great location, great appartment.
Eric was very helpful and explained everything we asked. The appartment is well located, "Target" and Subway Station right around the corner.
The appartment is big and nice, few smaller details to critisize, but as per Eric, it will be refurbrished begin 2016.
Thank you very much Eric! If I visit NYC again, I will book your place again! :-)
Again, Eric is a fantastic host. I'll just copy my last review:
"Eric is a great host who was very uncomplicated with checking in and out. He also had lots of useful information about the neighborhood and NYC tips in general. He even had some maps and brochures available in the apartment. The apartment is great, just like in the description. Spacious, in good shape and really only two minutes from the subway, with everything you need in the area (grocery store, fast food or a really nice italian restaurant and bar. If you'd like to use the kitchen you might want some additional equipment (Fridge, oven etc. are fantastic, but number of dishes etc. is somewhat limited.) You might want an additional heater for the kitchen in the winter, too."
Also, Eric even provided us with two bikes. How amazing is that?
I had an excellent experience with Wimdu, first time for us.
We contacted Eric, who was an adorable man, friendly, he wait for us, even we arrived 11 pm. He gave all the introduction to the place, what i recommend fully.
Nice decoration, modern, all what is necessary, great balcony private and cozy.
When left we left the keys inside and that's all!! very easy.
Superb location by the way, great for mall shopping just 10 minutes walking or Central Park at 30 min walking. Subway 3 min walking.
Eric , thanks for all!!
Eric was kind and gave us tips on the neighbourhood. The apartment was in a great location close to the train. It had a nice deck and was quiet at night. Very good appartment for a great price.
Eric was was perfect. He's very nice, he showed us the apartment, gave us tips on the surrounding area, and also made sure that we had a very comfortable stay. Thanks Eric, your the best.
Great location, Eric was a very good host, we could walk ten minutes to yankee stadium and 5 minutes to the subway, apartment was very clean and tidy and spacious, Thanks Eric hope to be back one day
The apartment was just like the picture. It was a 3 minute walk form the metro. We enjoyed our stay very much. Eric was kind, he showed us the apartment and then left us alone for the rest of our stay. We felt absolutely safe in the neighborhood, but personally (as a girl) I wouldn't stay there alone or with a female friend. The apartment was not really clean, but it was't really dirty eather. Just make sure to pack some flipflops so you don't have to walk around barefoot. Would definitly stay here again!
It was a really nice stay, Eric is a great host explaining a lot of stuff about the house and gave us some info on restaurants etc close to the apartment. The best thing was the location, it is a quiet street so no noise in the evening and the subway is at 3 mins walking, with just 2 stops outside manhattan and the possibility to take several trains. I would stay here again.

very nice apartment for a couple. Very well placed for a visit to Vienna, close to the old center.
Home excellent.
appartement très agréable pour un couple. Très bien placé pour une visite de Vienne, tout près du centre ancien.
Accueil excellent.
Beautiful apartment near downtown, comfortable, very welcome agréable.Dommage leave.
Beau logement, proche centre ville, tout confort, accueil très agréable.Dommage de partir.
The 5 days in Vienna were wonderful, especially because of the sunny one-bedroom apartment. They had everything to comfort what man / woman can hope for a city break (bathroom and kitchen new, modern and equipped with everything), was clean and well maintained. The rooms carefully decorated with beautiful furniture / antiques and details. In the morning the sun comes into the room, but the apartment was now cool in the summer because of the historical Baustills - including courtyard with colonnades. The romantic atmosphere of this ancient imperial city was so from the beginning to bear. For excursions to the sights, the apartment has been the ideal starting point (on foot and by public transport, centrally located, yet quiet street - ok, the road workers had since just a construction site in the works, but that's nothing permanent). Shopping, restaurants (every flavor) and cafes all just around the corner. Many thanks to the very nice and uncomplicated landlord (individual keys could be denied). And at the end: The many fantastic Geschichts-/Bücher + current tourist information about Vienna have made the stay really be about. - We are happy to come back. Greetings from the German girls Elke and Eve
Die 5 Tage in Wien waren wunderbar, speziell auch wegen der sonnigen 1-Zimmer-Wohnung. Sie bot alles an Komfort was man/frau sich für einen Städtetrip erhoffen kann (Bad und Küche neu, modern und mit Allem ausgestattet), war sauber und gepflegt. Das Zimmer liebevoll mit schönen Möbeln/Antiquitäten und Details eingerichtet. Vormittags kommt die Sonne ins Zimmer, dennoch war die Wohnung jetzt im Sommer angenehm kühl wegen des historischen Baustills - u.a. Innenhof mit Wandelgängen. Der romantische Flair dieser alten Kaiserstadt kam also von Anfang an zum Tragen. Für Ausflüge zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten ist die Wohnung der ideale Ausgangspunkt gewesen (zu Fuß und per Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel, zentral gelegen, dennoch ruhige Straße - ok, die Straßenarbeiter hatten da gerade eine Baustelle in Arbeit, aber das ist ja nix Dauerhaftes). Einkaufen, Restaurants (jeden Geschmacks) und Cafes alles direkt um die Ecke.
Vielen herzlichen Dank an die sehr netten und unkomplizierten Vermieter (Schlüsselübergabe ließ sich individuell absprechen).
Und noch zum Schluß: Die vielen phantastischen Geschichts-/Bücher + aktuellen Touristeninfos über Wien haben den Aufenthalt so richtig rund werden lassen. - Gerne kommen wir wieder. Gruß von den deutschen Mädels Elke und Eva
Reviews for this host's other properties
The holydays in Club Vista serena, was very nice and confortable. A value quality and price appartments, nice service. Highly recoment
nice little house in suburb of sorrento.
well equipped kitchen and cosy living room.
couldn't stay in the huge garden because of too many moskitos.
garden wasn't very clean at all.
the linen package, we extra paid for, was a joke.
The people were very friendly, the studio offered everything you needed, the bed was comfy and the location was good, just 350 m to the beach. You had your own terrace and parking lot, which was great. It is a very quiet location, good to calm down and relax. For two persons it is very big, I was scared, but of course most of people would enjoy that luxury of lots of space. The accommodation definitely is a great choice for that price!
The location of the apartment was great and the size was excellant plus with a private parking space in France unbelievable. Downside was cleaning fee per person when the floors were SO dirty that you wouldn'd want to walk on them without shoes on.
Danielle was very helpful. The house, next to her family's home was very clean and comfortable. The view of the mountains was wonderful. we highly recommend Landhaus Wegscheider to anyone interested in traveling to the Innsbruck area.
Fab apartment, fab views. All amenities on our doorstep, would highly recommend this apartment, will definitely be booking again. (unfortunately there are no English TV channels so bring a book)
Beautiful view of the Zugspitz from a private patio. Pleanty of room for two couples with 2 bedrooms. Beds very comfortable. Clean with friendly service.

The outside of this rustic-looking bread is crunchy and the inside is moist and soft, with a smattering of small bits of corn grits and millet or sesame seeds. The loaf's mild corn flavor goes well with chowders, stews and Tex-Mex dishes. The bread calls for millet, which is sometimes hard to find (look for it near other grains); sesame seeds can be substituted with good results. A pot with a 9- to 10-inch diameter, such as a Dutch oven, will produce a nicely domed loaf, while a wider-bottomed p

Serves 14
Prep Time 30 min
Total Time 1440 min.
Step 1
Mix dough: Place 2/3 cup cornmeal and corn grits (or polenta) in a medium bowl. Gradually stir in boiling water until well blended and lump-free. Let stand until barely warm. Thoroughly stir 2 cups bread flour, whole-wheat flour, 3 tablespoons millet (or sesame seeds), sugar, salt and yeast in a 4-quart (or larger) bowl. Thoroughly stir yogurt and oil into the cornmeal mixture. Stir 3/4 cup ice water into the cornmeal mixture until smoothly incorporated. Stir the cornmeal mixture into the flour mixture, scraping down the sides and mixing just until the ingredients are thoroughly blended; it may seem too dry initially, but it usually comes together with sufficient stirring. The dough should be moist and somewhat sticky, but fairly stiff. If the mixture is still too dry, stir in just enough additional ice water to facilitate mixing, but don't overmoisten. If the dough is too wet, stir in just enough flour to stiffen slightly. Lightly coat the top with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wra
Step 2
First rise: Let the dough rise at room temperature (about 70°F) for 12 to 18 hours; if convenient, stir once partway through the rise. For convenience (and improved flavor), you may refrigerate the dough for 3 to 12 hours before starting the first rise.
Step 3
Second rise: Generously coat a 31/2- to 5-quart Dutch oven (or similar ovenproof pot) with oil. Coat the bottom and sides with 1 tablespoon each cornmeal and millet (or sesame seeds). Vigorously stir the dough to deflate it. If it's soft and very sticky, stir in just enough bread flour to yield a firm but moist dough (it should be fairly hard to stir). Transfer the dough to the pot. Lightly coat the dough with oil, then smooth the top using a well-oiled rubber spatula or your fingertips. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon each cornmeal and millet (or sesame seeds) and pat down. Put the lid on the pot or tightly cover with foil.
Step 4
Let rise at warm room temperature until the dough is double the deflated size, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours. (For an accelerated rise, see Tip.)
Step 5
15 minutes before baking: Position a rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Generously sprinkle or spritz the loaf with water.
Step 6
Bake, cool, slice: Bake the loaf on the lower rack, covered, until lightly browned and crusty, 60 to 70 minutes. Uncover and continue baking until nicely browned and a skewer inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs on the tip (or until an instant-read thermometer registers 204-206°), 10 to 15 minutes longer. Cool in the pot on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes. Turn the loaf out on the rack and let cool to at least warm before serving. The loaf is good warm but slices best when cool.

Expert Advice
Facebook "Nearby" Feature, Allows Fans to "Rate" Your Salon
If you're a local salon there's no doubt that you rely on word-of-mouth recommendations to grow your client base. Today, "social endorsement" is the way clients share their experiences, studies have even found that people are more likely to visit your salon if their friends recommend it...and now, Facebook has made that process just 'that' much easier.
With the announcement of Facebook Nearby for the mobile app, users can see which friends have checked in at a particular place, and allow users to discover places 'nearby' based on friend recommendations. Potential clients can even explore by category, then connect with your business, LIKE your page or rate the place via a five-star system. Pretty cool, huh?
With over half of the visitors to Facebook Pages visiting from a mobile device, this new functionality is bound to change the way your social strategy is looked at. If you have a Business Page on Facebook – with a location (Note, there's a difference! Email me and I'll help you out), your business now has another way to be discovered by Facebook's 600 million mobile customers.
Here's how it works: When you look for a place, the results that appear in the "Nearby" list will be based on friends' recommendations, ratings, check-ins, and likes.
Because your salon has a physical location here's what you need to do to ensure you are discoverable:
- Update your basic information, including your address, salon hours, phone number, and details about your salon in the About section
- Update your category to make sure you appear when people are looking for your salon
- Encourage your consumers to like, check into, rate, and recommend your salon to their network
Nearby is available on the Facebook app for both iOS and Android. For more information, connect with us on our Style Sync Facebook page, where we share all of the latest social media tips and tricks! Click here. (link to www.Facebook.com/StyleSync).

After Ella wrote 2 poems, drew 5 trees, and played 4 games of tic tac toe in her journal, she lost the pen she was using. My pen. It sank under a pile of snow in the forest at the New York Botanical Garden. It wasn't a fancy pen, but it had a nice weight to it.
I bought the pen from the gift shop at the Met last Saturday in hope of writing down something so amazing that I would get into NYU's masters program, which would lead to me write the great American novel, and I would eventually die in faculty housing at Cambridge University. This pen gave me hope. Maybe my life wouldn't turn out to be so bland. Then I let my kid use it.
I wanted to go home.
Then Oscar started jabbering on about something, "At church I learned about a girl who woke up in a bad mood. She kept poking her brother. And then her mom made her breakfast she didn't like. She kept being grumpy. She didn't eat it. And then her teacher at church told her she had a choice to be happy. She kept poking her brother. The next week, her mom made her that same breakfast she didn't like. But she ate it. She stopped poking her brother. I don't know the rest, something about choice . . ."
"I think what you're trying to say is that I have a choice right now to be angry at Ella. And I'm choosing to be angry."
Ugh. 6-year-olds and their bounty of wisdom. I went up to Ella and gave her a giant hug and told her I was sorry. It's just a pen. I over reacted. I was wrong. She starting crying and telling me how bad she felt for losing it. And in that way that kids are so good at, she forgave me. We moved on to other things like following animals tracks in the snow, throwing snow balls into streams, and watering the indoor plants on the Children's Garden.
But she never asked for notebook back. Or for that sucky pen in my pocket. There were no more poems, no more trees, no more tic tac toe games for the rest of the day. The fear of losing another one of my sacred pens out weighed the joy of creating something. Here's the 2 poems she wrote before I messed up. They are terrible. Truly terrible. Not as terrible as all the blank pages in her notebook though.
It may not be pretty
when snow falls but
It's pretty after it
is fallen and fun
Once you bundle your
self up
Spring has
the flowers
But winter
has snow
But fall has
leaves falling
But summer
has sun
But winter
is the best
I'm guessing the pen flew out during one of the tumbles she had with her brothers pictured here. If someone ever finds my pen, I hope they throw it away. It's not lucky. It's not filled with hope. It's probably broken anyway. And besides, it isn't going to make life less bland. I don't know the rest exactly, but I'm sure it has something to do with choice . . .

I read up on the infos already last year. Every bits of infos in my minds now because this issue very hard to deal with. There are posts
after posts from people here with many links to argue about what method is better to solve this problem. An amazing thread I would say.
Learned a lot from different perspective here. Many did a shook out because they don't want to deal with laying worker anymore. Too
time consuming and at the end did not work out well for them. I have to say very good luck to you if it works out for you this time.
Getting a queen is easy now in the spring. Imagine I have to paid 3x the price at $36 each in the winter. And they killed 2 of them even
though these are not laying worker but just some aggressive Italian bees I have to dealt with. I pray for you that everything will work
out at the end.

If you belong to a club or a range ask if anyone has the guns and see if they would let your wife try them. If someone asked me if their wife could campare the 2 I would not have a problem.

Announcing a New Photodocumentary Book Project
And a call for participants…
"Creating Women"
In connection with a new book project, I am seeking woman artists – photographers, painters, weavers, craftspeople, performers, writers, and other creative women – who are actively working today while in their 60's, 70's, or beyond! Participants will be photographed and interviewed and included in a new photo essay book, "Creating Women," exploring the lives and work of women artists and performers who are finding in their 60's, 70's, and beyond, continuing sources of creativity and new directions and growth as artists and as creative (creating) women.
With huge advances in the human lifespan over the last 50 years, we are all living much longer. Life in what we once euphemistically called "our golden years" is being radically transformed.
Women especially, with the impacts of feminism and vast societal changes that have occurred, and often in light of today's new economic realities as well, are finding all kinds of new options, roles, relationships, lives open to them. For women in our 60's, the question "what's next?" rarely suggests what we've traditionally thought of as retirement. We continue to be active, to grow into new dimensions and seek out new opportunities, roles, relationships, activities.
Artists, especially, are continuing to be vital and creative, in their 60's, 70's, 80's, even beyond, and to discover and communicate in their work some of what it means to be women today.
This book will explore how such women artists are creating new lives and careers for themselves today. The planned book of photo essays will document through photographs and interviews these women's work and lives.


text: Silverado ZR2 Concept GM reveals new Silverado ZR2 concept truck at SERM 2009 It was just a year ago - SEMA 2008 to be exact - that Ford grabbed the headlines with their off-road warrior, the Raptor, and rightfully so to be honest. GM was in no position to compete with that vehicle at that time, but they did in fact respond in a year's time with a equally-impressive Silverado ZR2. What a difference a year makes. Chevy Silverado ZR2 Concept - Shown at SEMA 2009 Powerplant? 550 HP LSA baby! It would not have been enough to just tweak the existing Silverado to offer a capable response to the Raptor, some serious upgrades are in order, while still keeping the overall visible Silverado appearance. The powerplant is a 6.2L supercharged LSA v8 cranking out 550 HP. This is the same engine found in the Cadillac CTS-V and it's matched up with the six speed auto transmission. It is very impressive and out-performs the 410 HP cranked out by the Raptor, although raw-power isn't everything, it is a LOT. Suspension & Appearance The suspension and off-road ride was adressed with a 4-inch lift and 20-inch wheels / 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler tires. Carbon-fiber is all over the Silverado ZR2. The grille, fender flares, hood, tailgate, rocker panels and more are all carbon fiber. Overall, the design of the Silverado provides clues to the next generation re-design of the Silverado itself. This appears to be a boxier front-end with more elongated and bolder features. The carbon-fiber is not likely to see production simply for cost reasons, however anything is possible and technology makes production cheaper all the time. Overall? While the Silverado ZR2 may only be a concept vehicle, many of the components inside it are available today - the LSA engine for example. Having multiple outlets for this technology will help to make it cheaper overall. An indepth comparison shows that the Silverado ZR2 is not exactly the same type of vehicle as the Ford Raptor, and that's ok, two different vehicles trying to provide off-road enthusiasts with the desired effect. We sure hope to see this put into the real-world sometime soon though. Ford Raptor - Shown at Dallas Auto Show 2009

Inside my "Time Out" Dave Brubeck CD case I found "Sketches of Spain" by Miles Davis. Up from the Freddie Hubbard "BACKLASH" CD cover jumped McCoy Tyner, "Extensions."
Imagine the challenge I faced trying to sort out all that 9/8, 5/4 stuff -- what musicians call polytonal and polyrhythmic time signatures -- while failing to find my own copies of "Take Five" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmDDOFXSgAs and "Blue Rondo a la Turk" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc34Uj8wlmE. Thank you, YouTube.
As a fan and a friend of jazz musicians, I look to them as I do with poets -- for inspiration and sometimes just to feel good.
Right now I'm blasting Tyner's "Message from the Nile." It's my secret weapon when jammed up on deadline. The opening bass line by Ron Carter summons me to a state of alertness rarely achieved. Alice Coltrane's harp injects a mellow and fine texture, then Tyner accelerates the pace -- progressively -- as if he is pounding through the piano keys into my head. Yeah, that feels good. By the time saxophonists Gary Bartz (alto) and Wayne Shorter (tenor, soprano) enter, I sense hope of achieving coherence. Turned loose on the next track, "The Wanderer," is Elvin Jones, dubbed "the world's greatest rhythmic drummer" by Life magazine. The deal is sealed.
The loss of Brubeck at age 91 on Dec. 5 generated a mass discussion of his arrangement techniques and, perhaps, a renewed appreciation for jazz structures beyond the conventional number of beats per measure. Brubeck cited travels to the Middle East and India and playing with folk musicians where music was not limited to 4/4. His drummer, Joe Morello, Brubeck wrote, "astonished Indian drummers by his ability to answer their tabla rhythm patterns precisely within the raga; and I felt immediately intrigued with the 9/8 pattern I heard on the streets of Istanbul."
Going beyond the talking point of "odd times" popularized by mainstream coverage of Brubeck, I reached out to a number of jazz musicians who, it turns out, found their inspiration from New Orleans drummer James Black http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyCMoiC1PY8 and others. Black is well known to practitioners, but, outside of them and New Orleans, not so much.
Black was born in the French Quarter and lived in Treme. Jazz drummer Ben Bilello, who studied at the Hartt School of Music, said Black played odd meters "in a rhythmically smoother way" than anyone else.
"Check out Black's 'Magnolia Triangle,' " Bilello advised. "It's the most swinging 5/4 you'll ever hear." The tune was recorded in 1963 with Ellis Marsalis, father of four jazz musicians, and later with Yusef Lateef.
Fellow Hartt grad Kris Allen, the alto saxophonist known for his original work and renditions of Charlie Parker, Miles Davis and Wayne Shorter, among others, also points to Black and the Marsalises as composers he looks to for "odd times" inspiration. Allen sees Brubeck's legacy in "great jazz pieces like 'The Duke' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfLJN2ltEEI and 'In Your Own Sweet Way' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aHGMDf42lw -- these will deservedly be standards forever."
Bassist and Hartt student Matt Dwonszyk has been practicing with a Turkish guitar player, Sinan Bakir. Bakir recently wrote an original tune in 9/8, Downszyk said, "and it took me a while to get the feel. The feel was similar to 'Blue Rondo al la Turk.' "
"I haven't been listening to much Brubeck lately," Dwonszyk said, "but I will probably start. He is an amazing composer and pianist and his legacy will live on."
For a take on the synergy of jazz and poetry, I went to my friend Ravi Shankar, the poet and professor at Central Connecticut State University: "Time signatures in poetry are the accentual meters that the most talented poets can manipulate to suit the content of their poems. Take Gerard Manley Hopkins' sprung rhythm, meant to imitate natural human speech while jam-packed with startling imagery; similarly, Dave Brubeck's 9/8 'Blue Rondo a la Turk' or 5/4 'Take Five' flipped standard waltz time on his head. His piano riff startles us into moving our feet and the saxophone appears unexpectedly to further the dance. It's like Hopkins wrote: 'All things counter, original, spare, strange; / Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) / With swift, slow, sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;/ He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change.' Who knows how Dave Brubeck, but I for one thank you for assuring forth that beauty past change."
With that, I guess I can relax and listen to John Coltrane's interpretation of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "My Favorite Things." I'm confident I can locate at least a couple of the 18 versions.

The Blues will play France at North Harbour Stadium in June, becoming the first New Zealand franchise to play an international fixture against a touring side.
The two teams will meet on Tuesday, June 11 at North Harbour Stadium.
The Super 15 goes into a three-week hiatus to allow for June international window.
Blues coach John Kirwan said this opportunity for players to face an international side is another first for many of them in what has been a big learning year for his young side.
"This year has been huge for many of our young guys. They've had a baptism by fire of what Super rugby is all about and now they get the chance to take on the French. What a fantastic experience for all of us, including our fans."

On Friday, April 17, 2009, Ithaca College inaugurated its eighth president, Thomas R. Rochon.
President Rochon came to Ithaca in July 2008 from the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota, where he was executive vice president and chief academic officer, overseeing the university's six schools and colleges and, along with the chief administrative officer, sharing responsibility for the $150 million university budget. He has made it his mission to lead Ithaca College in becoming, as the College's mission statement declares, "the standard of excellence for residential comprehensive colleges." Toward that end, President Rochon initiated a wide-ranging and intensive strategic visioning process that will identify priorities and programs in support of academic excellence.
Putting theory into practice has been at the heart of an Ithaca College education since 1892, and the celebration of President Rochon's inauguration showcased Ithaca's tradition of learning by doing. The festivities began on Thursday, April 16, with the James J. Whalen Academic Symposium, an annual presentation of student research and creative work that extended throughout the day.
The inauguration ceremony took place on Friday, April 17, at 3:00 p.m. The day's activities concluded at 8:15 p.m. with the Shirley and Chas Hockett Chamber Music Concert Series, featuring internationally renowned guitarist Manuel Barrueco and the world-famous string quartet Cuarteto Latinoamericano.

Short circuit: Chevy Volt to halt production for five weeks, 1,300 workers to be laid off
posted at 4:15 pm on March 2, 2012 by Allahpundit
B-b-but … California just gave it special car-pool privileges.
See now why I thought O was too optimistic when he said he'll be buying a Volt in five years?
General Motors has told 1,300 employees at its Detroit Hamtramck that they will be temporarily laid off for five weeks as the company halts production of the Chevrolet Volt and its European counterpart, the Opel Ampera.
"Even with sales up in February over January, we are still seeking to align our production with demand," said GM spokesman Chris Lee.
Lee said employees were told Thursday that production would put on hold from March 19 to April 23…
In 2011, Chevrolet sold 7,671 Volts, but fell short of its initial goal of 10,000.
That euphemism about "aligning production with demand" is the automotive equivalent of Ian Faith talking about Spinal Tap's appeal becoming more "selective." The good news: Volt sales actually picked up between January and February this year. The bad news: The monthly numbers climbed from just 603 units to 1,023. To put that in perspective, GM had initially hoped to sell 45,000 Volts in the U.S. in 2012 before backing way, way off that target last month. According to the Detroit News, current stock exceeds 3,500 units, which at their usual sales rates should be enough to get them through through the spring without needing to build a single new unit. Hence the layoffs.
I went over to Green Car Reports to see what they have on this. Nothing yet — but here's one car buyer's defense of why he chose a Prius Plug-in instead of a Volt. The Prius retails for $32,760 while the Volt will run you a cool $39,995, but that's before tax credits. Thanks to Uncle Sam, you get a $7,500 break on the Volt but just $2,500 on the Prius, which still isn't enough to create a price advantage for Chevy but at least gets them to near parity. Good ol' government.

I viewed my videotapes from the 1990 World Figure Skating Championships, held in Halifax, Nova Scotia. What a great championship it was! This Worlds was memorable for many things, one of which was that it was the last Worlds in which the compulsory school figures were a part of the competition. The combined scores for the singles competition were: 20% figures, 30% short program, and 50% long program.
The women:
Japan's Midori Ito came into Halifax as the defending World Champion, and she was favored to retain her title. Although the school figures were the weakest part of her repertoire - she was a fabulous jumper and became the first woman to land a triple axel in World competition in 1989 - Midori had improved her figures and had performed the best figures of her life the previous year. Sadly for Midori, she blew the figures at Halifax. The television cameras were rolling during part of this competition, and she nearly fell midway through one of the figures. The tracings were all over the map, instead of being right on top of each other, as they should be. Ito was scored from 10th to 24th on that figure, and she finished 10th overall in that phase of the competition. "Sports Illustrated" reported that "Ito's tracings resembled the Santa Fe railroad". Ouch.
Midori, being the superb competitor she was, rebounded back by winning both the short and long programs. After winning the short, she was in fourth place overall. She could retain her title, but only if she won the long program, and the three skaters who were in front of her finished no higher than third in the long program. All of this convulated scoring was due to the school figures being in the scoring mix. Scott Hamilton, commemtating, said "I was up all night trying to figure out the possible scenarios." Ito's long program featured a fantastic triple axel - higher and cleaner than most of the triple axels performed by the men.
Jill Trenary of the USA had finished third at the 1989 Worlds, with a tentative long program. She had been criticized for "choking" in the long program, and she said she her nervousness had caused her to double and/or single her final planned triples. She came into Halifax determined to skate her best, and to let the chips fall where they may. She won the school figures, but she blew the short program. Instead of performing a triple toe/double toe combination, Jill skated a double/double. She finished fifth in the short program and was in third place heading into the freeskate. Trenary was in tears after the short, and the TV cameras were rolling as she cried, with her coaches Christa and Carlo Fassi attempting to console her. Announcer Pat O'Brien said, "The next day I spoke with Trenary's people and asked if Jill had woke up smiling. They responded, "No, she woke up fighting".
Jill skated a great long program, with four strong triples. She slipped on her planned half axel/triple salchow, but otherwise, she nailed all of her jumps, and she skated like a champion. She was ecstatic when she finished, as she knew she could finish second in the long program and still won the World title. Indeed, her technical scores were all 5.7 and 5.8, and she received six 5.9s for presentation.
Kristi Yamaguchi finished fourth at the 1990 Worlds. This was her last competition as a dual competitor - in pairs with Rudi Galindo and as a singles skater. Kristi fell twice in her long program but still received high marks, as she
landed two clean triple lutzes.
The real surprise was Holly Cook, who had finished third at the US Nationals. In her first Worlds, Holly shocked everyone by winning the bronze medal. She had skated excellent school figures and a clean short program, so she was in second place going into the long program. While her long program wasn't particularly artistic, and it lacked the technical difficulty of Ito, Yamaguchi, and Trenary, the scoring mix enabled her to finish fourth in the long program and still win a medal. The scene in the kiss 'n cry was priceless. As her scores were displayed and Holly and her coach realized she had won the bronze medal, Holly screamed, "I'm third. I'm third. I'M THIRD!!!"
After the competition was over, Jill was embraced by her father. Her dad asked her, "How do you feel?" Jill responded, "I don't know. I don't feel anything yet."
She appeared to be a little bit in shock when she stood at the podium and heard the US National Anthem played. Pat O'Brien asked Jill if the removal of the school figures would influence her decision to turn pro. She responded that she wanted to take time to reflect about that during the summer.
The Men:
Kurt Browning came into Halifax as his country's hero - defending World Champion and "Rock Star on Skates". Kurt's fall competitive season had not gone so well, as he had finished third in two competitions. In an interview, Browning said (to paraphrase) "After I won the Worlds, I thought that I could never fall again. Champions aren't supposed to fall. It put a great deal of pressure on me, trying to be perfect." At Halifax. Kurt skated good figures, and pulled out his short program with a wing and a prayer. He had doubled his planned triple axel, so he threw the triple axel at the end of his program. His long program was strong and well skated, although a few of the triples had rocky landings. The fans screamed their adulation for Kurt. After he completed his long program, he skated to a group of teenage girls, who almost smothered him with hugs. He was showered with stuffed animals and balloons.
Viktor Petrenko had won the short program and seemed poised to challenge for his first World title. However, Viktor ran out of steam during the second half of his free skate, and he had to settle for secon place. Verne Lundquist, commentating, said, "There's a look of chagrin on Viktor's face that wasn't there at the European Championships." He seemed disappointed with his skate but was pleased to win a World medal.
Christopher Bowman finished third at Halifax. Although he skated well, the real news surrounded his less than warm and fuzzy relationship with his coach, Frank Carroll. The piece showed them arguing prior to the school figures competition. Frank walked out of the arena just prior to Christopher's turn to skate the figures. Bowman looked all over the place for his coach, who was going to help him select a good patch of ice, but he could not find him. After he skated his figures Carroll reappeared, and Bowman asked what had happened. Carroll replied, "Well, I was busy." Say what????

A centuries-old process for converting organic materials like vegetative debris into a valuable soil amendment, composting benefits soils and plants physically, chemically, and biologically.
Composting is the controlled, aerobic (with oxygen) biological decomposition of organic materials at temperatures high enough to kill weed seeds and plant (and human) pathogens. It is essentially a manufacturing process: Organic wastes like landscaping debris, food wastes, and so forth are feedstocks to the process, millions of beneficial microbes are the workforce, and a humus-rich soil amendment is the product.
The key to successful compost manufacturing is to create the most favorable working environment for the microbes and higher-order organisms doing the work. Like all workers, these decomposers need air, water, and food. Air comes from keeping the compost pile aerobic, first by properly mixing compost ingredients and then by periodic turnings/ remixings or by blowing air into a pile with a fan or blower.
Water for microbial growth comes from the feedstocks themselves, although much water is lost due to evaporation from the heated compost pile. This lost moisture must be replaced to maintain optimum conditions.
Microbial food comes from two abundant elements: carbon (C) and nitrogen (N). The ratio between C and N (between 25:1 and 35:1) is achieved by mixing feedstocks together in the right ratios (just like mixing ingredients to bake a cake).

The competition might be closing in fast, but for one more year at least Kiwi motorsport legend Rod Millen is the fastest man up his own driveway.
Not many people can attest to reaching speeds in excess of 170km/h between their house and their letterbox, but then again Millen's purpose-built hill climb course that snakes its way up and over his property in Hahei on the Coromandel Peninsula wasn't designed to be driven slowly.
It's 1.6-kilometre's worth of fast-flowing, silky smooth hot mix that features an elevation rise of 80 metres between the start and finish lines while incorporating 16 corners.
Many of the driveway's design attributes were inspired by the 62-year old's favourite events from an illustrious motorsport career spanning many decades.
The "Leadfoot Ranch" is the fruit of his and his wife Shelly's labour, and over the weekend the gates to the stunning 58ha property were opened to the public for their third annual Leadfoot Festival.
With a collective worth of tens of millions of dollars, more than 100 cars and bikes from a wide range of motorsport disciplines took part in the event. The oldest, a French-built Darracq that competed in the world's first ever Grand Prix event held at Le Mans in 1906, and the newest - a 2012 Ferrari 458 Challenge factory-built racer.
With such an eclectic mix of motorsport machinery ranging from Minis to McLarens; names like Jim Richards, Rhys Millen and local veteran legend Allan Woolf on the driving card; and ZZ Top guitarist Billy Gibbons providing musical interlude at Saturday night's black tie Leadfoot Ball, it's not hard to see why the three-day festival is quick gaining international acclaim.
"I feel like it's really gaining momentum now," Rod Millen told Driven moments after being doused in champagne by fellow competitors at Leadfoot's relaxed post-event prize giving.
"We have a lot more competitors this year, and many more guests - maybe 10 times what we had in 2012 which is fantastic. Over the last 12 months the facility has grown and it can accommodate those people properly, but of course there's still plenty of room for improvement, and that'll be our focus now."
New for 2013 was an optional cross-country detour for the off-roader drivers among the ranks, an air show, and a static Bonneville Speed Week-inspired display with international land speed record-setting machines of the two, four and six-wheel variety parked on a white, salt-look sand base.
To overcome issues brought about by rain at last year's event, a new and expansive sealed pit area was also added, complete with a mock - but full-sized - Mobil service station from a bygone era fitted out with antique fuel bowsers and flanked by a vintage Ford Model T and a late 40s era Diamond T tow truck.
It's those sorts of details that make that Leadfoot Festival an experience rather than just an event.
As for the racing itself, it couldn't have been any closer at the top, with Rod Millen becoming the first driver to dip under 51 seconds.
He did that on the very last run of the weekend behind the wheel of his long-time Pikes Peak International Hill Climb record-holding Toyota Celica posting a 50.92-second run.
"It was fun to be able to grab a bit more speed out of the old car," Rod Millen revealed afterwards.
"It might be 19 years old now, but it runs good and is really fun to drive," he added.
Clark Proctor driving a 1973 March 73A Formula 5000 car finished second overall in the Top 10 Shootout with a 51.60, while former New Zealand Rally Champion Joe McAndrew took third with a 52.71 in the final behind the wheel of a modified 2002 Jeti 1000 single-seater.

I knew everybody was good because they've been flying and bringing in lots & lots of pollen, but went in to see how good and if I had to reverse the hive bodies. "Dowty's Dames," the hive given to me in September, consisted of one brood box and one Illinois super and was very light when I brought it home, so I immediately removed the Apistan strips, used FGMO weather permitting and fed them 2:1 throughout the winter season. Today there were lots of bees in both boxes. 8 of the 10 frames in the Illinois super were full of honey. The brood box was full of honey, pollen & brood. So I added another Illinois super & fed them 1:1 with Honey Bee Healthy, leaving the entrance reducer in place. The second hive, which I call "The Apis Amazons" were brimming over in two brood boxes. I had fed them throughout the winter as well and there was honey and comb everywhere! The top box was so heavy, I couldn't lift it (as an afterthought, it may have been "glued down like hive #3--see below), so I pulled some frames and looked into the bottom box and could see it was full of bees, honey, brood & pollen. Since the boxes are so crowded and I really don't want to split the hive (I don't want four hives!!), I added an Illinois super. Since it looks to me like I've overfed them, I took off the hive top feeder, removed the entrance reducer and left them to redistribute what they already have. The third hive which I call "The Comeback Kids" (they went queenless last year and developed laying workers but went into the fall & winter looking good) was similar to my Amazons--lots of very white honey and they had drawn out last year's new foundation with the most beautiful white wax! They too had burr comb everywhere--the frames of the top brood box were glued to the frames in the bottom brood box! It was only by removing every frame that I was able to remove the top box to look into the lower one which was perfect--full of brood pollen & honey. Since it seemed to me that I probably overfed them as well, I did not put the hive top feeder back on them and removed the entrance reducer. Then I fogged all three hives. I thought feeding them throughout the winter could cause no harm, but what a mess I had to clean up! It took me over two hours to tend to three hives!
My question is: Did I take the right steps to take care of them? Opinions please.
As an aside: I've been fogging my bees every 5 days, weather permitting, since I got them--no cords; no thymol. Several drone larva which were in the burr comb between the boxes were broken during manipulations. Inspection revealed no varroa. Yay!

Batchwiper is the latest malware that is targeting Iranian computers. The existence of the malware was reported by Iran's CERTCC – Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center and according to reports it is designed to wipe disk partitions of data. Partitions labeled D through I are systematically erased, along with the desktop-based files of the logged on user. The malware is described as efficient, simple, and is able to operate unrecognized by antivirus.
"Latest investigation have been done by Maher center in cyber space identified a new targeted data wiping malware. Primitive analysis revealed that this malware wipes files on different drives in various predefined times. Despite its simplicity in design, the malware is efficient and can wipe disk partitions and user profile directories without being recognized by anti-virus software. However, it is not considered to be widely distributed. This targeted attack is simple in design and it is not any similarity to the other sophisticated targeted attacks.."
Reports are coming in from a number of sources regarding its behavior. AlienVault shared the details on how Batchwiper remains persistent through registry modification.
The piece of code is very simple and it deletes files on different drives on specific dates.
The original dropper is a self-extracting RAR file with the name GrooveMonitor.exe. Once executed it extracts the following files:
\WINDOWS\system32\SLEEP.EXE, md5: ea7ed6b50a9f7b31caeea372a327bd37
\WINDOWS\system32\jucheck.exe, md5: c4cd216112cbc5b8c046934843c579f6
\WINDOWS\system32\juboot.exe, md5: fa0b300e671f73b3b0f7f415ccbe9d41
We know it's simple, we know it's destructive, we know it's persistent. What people are asking about now is how the malware is actually spreading. It could be anything from sneaker-net, spear-phishing, or as AlienVault adds:
We don't have details about the infection vector but based on the dropper it could be deployed using USB drives, internal actors, SpearPhishing or probably as the second stage of a targeted intrusion.
Here's the interesting thing – there is currently a very loose association being suggested that this is the latest targeted attack by association with the Flame/Duqu/Stuxnet family of cyberwarfare tools. The only certified common factor is that infections are being reported from Iranian computers. This latest turn in which data is being destroyed in such a specific way, on specific dates, while evading detection really starts to paint the picture that of the infection vector choices, it makes the most sense that this is a second-stage component of a larger attack. Most certainly we will hear more about this in the weeks to come and other news in the coming year.

Allergy Drugs: Prescription and OTC »
"What are allergies?
Allergies occur when the body's immune system responds to a substance it considers an "invader." Substances that provoke the immune system into an allergic response are known as allergens. There is no such thing as a"...
Topical corticosteroids share anti-inflammatory, anti-pruritic and vasoconstrictive actions. The mechanism of anti-inflammatory activity of the topical corticosteroids is unclear. Various laboratory methods, including vasoconstrictor assays, are used to compare and predict potencies and/ or clinical efficacies of the topical corticosteroids. There is some evidence to suggest that a recognizable correlation exists between vasoconstrictor potency and therapeutic efficacy in man.
The extent of percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids is determined by many factors including the vehicle, the integrity of the epidermal barrier, and the use of occlusive dressings.
Topical corticosteroids can be absorbed from normal intact skin. Inflammation and/ or other disease processes in the skin increase percutaneous absorption. Occlusive dressings substantially increase the percutaneous absorption of topical corticosteroids. Thus, occlusive dressings may be a valuable therapeutic adjunct for treatment of resistant dermatoses (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
Once absorbed through the skin, topical corticosteroids are handled through pharmacokinetic pathways similar to systemically administered corticosteroids. Corticosteroids are bound to plasma proteins in varying degrees. Corticosteroids are metabolized primarily in the liver and are then excreted by the kidneys. Some of the topical corticosteroids and their metabolites are also excreted into the bile.

$85 x 10,000 is $850,000, not $85,000. That's even more money.
I was just looking at their site. They want $85.00 for membership. I was wondering if anyone knows of someone who used them in court or how many cases they defend per year?
At $85.00 per membership that's $85,000.00 for every 10,000 members who join. At that rate they must do a lot of litigations, or someones making a whole bunch of money.
Just wondering
$85 x 10,000 is $850,000, not $85,000. That's even more money.
I think someone is making a lot of money is accurate.....JJ
Probably some liberal layer making a ton of money. Join the NRA and look the lawyer who they recommend in your area. Odds are you will get someone who can help you out. Just remember it's never cheap to go to court.

Mary Grace Ketner
ITC's Mary Grace Ketner featured in Texas Heritage
By James Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(July 25, 2007)--Education specialist Mary Grace Ketner at UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures recently was featured in Texas Heritage, a publication of the Texas Historical Foundation. Editor of ITC's educational newsletter, "Crossroads of Culture," Ketner and her team prepare a periodic Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS)-compliant curriculum as a resource for school districts and social studies teachers teaching the diverse cultures of Texas.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy

"Not every class has the opportunity to visit UTSA's Institute of Texan Cultures, but Mary Grace has helped school children across the state experience the diverse ethnic origins of Texas," said Bonny Johnston, ITC director of programs.
Ketner started "Crossroads of Culture" in 2002 through a grant. While it helped publicize the museum and its events, its primary purpose was as a gateway to a variety of materials including radio shows, oral histories, scanned primary source documents and photographs from ITC's collection of nearly four million historic pictures.
"The content for the newsletter springs directly from the exhibit floor," explains Johnston. "And it's a very user-friendly tool that teachers can use in whole or in part to assist in classroom presentations. Plus, it also helps showcase our amazing collection of historic photographs. Mary Grace has truly created an impressive and enjoyable educational tool."
With the expiration of grant funding, "Crossroads of Culture" has reverted to an online format popular with teachers and educational institutions. In addition to its stories and informational content, each issue includes bibliographies, worksheets and descriptions of TEKS requirements fulfilled.
Read "Crossroads to Culture" is at the Institute of Texan Cultures Web site on the Education page under "Teachers' Tools."

JUNE 9, 2015, Dhaka
Sanjita had very little to say on the subject of how she felt about getting married. Maybe that's because she's 10 years old. She had married 18 days earlier, to a boy who is 14 or 15 years old—he works in a garment factory in Dhaka and as a rickshaw driver.
Radical Islamists hacked to death secular blogger Md Oyasiqur Rahman Babu Monday morning in Tejgaon, Dhaka allegedly for his atheist views.
Bangladesh: "We do not want to live here. We will go anywhere. Even if they send us back to the sea, we will go," says a Muslim refugee from Myanmar.
Birth registration can play a crucial role in reducing child marriage, but this depends on enforcing existing laws and having comprehensive systems in place to register major life events, including deaths, marriages, adoptions and births. A ministerial conference of Asia-Pacific countries confronted this issue last November.
DHAKA, 5 September 2013 (IRIN) - Women living in the slums in Dhaka, Bangladesh's capital of 15 million people, face a higher risk of domestic violence than women in other parts of the country, say researchers.
Nationwide, recordkeeping and data collection on the extent and types of violence against women are still scarce, according to an expert panel in 2011monitoring the country's progress on eliminating violence against women. But the UN Special Rapporteur on Violence against Women, Rashida Manjoo, found ample evidence in a recent visit to Bangladesh that "discrimination and violence against women continues in law and practice".
When her widowed mother remarried, Parvin Rema, then 13, was part of the deal – one of several such arrangements in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh has followed India and Pakistan as the third South Asian country to elect a woman as parliament speaker, defying a threat by the Hefajat-e-Islam organisation, which warned the government not to promote women.
Members of Hifazat-e Islam, a radical Islamist party in Bangladesh, attacked female journalists on assignment as the group marched in the country's capital to demand strict Islamic law, including a ban on free mixing of the sexes and punishment of "atheists and blasphemous bloggers".
When Malala Yousafzai and her companions were shot by the Taliban, the whole of Pakistan expressed outrage. The attack on a young girl fighting for her right to education was shocking to many Pakistanis. What was unusual about this event was, unfortunately, not the targeting of girls, but the fact that there was a national outcry.
Press Release
We, the undersigned strongly protest the arrest of Mr. Yunus Ali, the Head Teacher of KC Technical and Business Management College of Pirojpur, on 4 January, 2012. Mr. Ali was arrested or having allegedly kept a copy of writer Taslima Nasreen's novel "Lajja" ("Shame") in the college library. This arrest is a clear breach of the right to freedom of speech and shows the presence of a broad range of communal and generally reactionary forces in our society.

As the presidential candidates prep for the final debate of 2008 — which will take place on October 15 in Hempstead, New York, with CBS's Bob Schieffer moderating — it's a fitting time to ask: why do some journalistic conflicts of interest become semi-scandals, while others get almost no attention at all?
Just this past week, Gwen Ifill's (allegedly) problematic role as moderator of the vice-presidential debate was the big story. The problem, according to conservatives, was that — as author of the upcoming The Breakthrough: Politics and Race in the Age of Obama (Doubleday) — Ifill simply couldn't be fair to Republican V-P nominee Sarah Palin, since an Obama victory will be a boon to her book. Even some of Ifill's defenders were critical, such as PBS ombudsman Michael Getler, who said Ifill and/or the debate organizers should have drawn attention to her book far earlier.
So why didn't they? Here's one possible answer: Schieffer, who in 2004 also moderated the third presidential debate. Like PBS's Jim Lehrer and ABC's Charlie Gibson, who moderated the first two debates four years ago, and like Ifill herself, Schieffer is a respected veteran journalist. He also, however, has close ties to the president. Schieffer's brother Tom had, with George W. Bush, been a part owner of Major League Baseball's Texas Rangers franchise; after Bush's 2000 win over Al Gore, the president named Tom Schieffer ambassador to Australia. (He's now our ambassador to Japan.) What's more, Bob Schieffer and the president had, according to a 2003 piece by Washington Post media writer Howie Kurtz, previously golfed, watched baseball games, and visited spring training together.
Schieffer's links to Bush didn't necessarily mean he couldn't moderate effectively in '04, but they did raise questions. Scratch that: they should have raised questions. Instead, save for a few exceptions — including a debate-day post from Daily Howler blogger Bob Somerby — the issue of Schieffer's conflict went largely undiscussed.
Consequently, it would be understandable if Ifill considered launching a defense of herself and her book — but then thought: Screw it. Schieffer didn't have to stick up for his integrity. Why should I?
Above conflict?
In retrospect, it's easy to see why the Ifill story took off and the Schieffer story fizzled. For one thing, nowadays stories move into the mainstream from the partisan periphery (e.g., worldnetdaily.com, which triggered the Ifill stampede this past week) way faster than they used to. For another, while media unfairness has gone from a right-wing talking point to a bipartisan preoccupation, John McCain has made the charge of liberal bias especially incendiary this year. What's more, the 2004 Schieffer-moderated debate came just one month after Dan Rather's controversial story on George W. Bush's years in the Texas Air National Guard, which focused attention on charges that CBS was biased against Bush, not for him.
But in reality, the problem is far bigger than Ifill and Schieffer. The fact is, the press still ignores or minimizes potential conflicts of interest far more often than it should — especially those involving high-stakes stories and high-profile journalists.
Take, for example, the ongoing awkwardness involving NBC's Andrea Mitchell. When Mitchell married Alan Greenspan in 1997, she was NBC's chief foreign-affairs correspondent and he was the head of the Federal Reserve, which gave each spouse their own professional bailiwick.

Is there any point to passing into Legacy?
You loose everything (except for skins and treasures) and all you get is boosters that are supposed to make you level up faster... only to reach max rank and start over to do it again?! What is the point? I am rank 75 non-Legacy currently and I have worked pretty hard to level up a lot of my boosters, especially some of the tougher ones like Weapon Expert and Endurance, and I don't want to level them up EVERY time! And let's say I DO go into Legacy and start over and only focus on one or two Boosters than is really limiting my playstyle to just one or two Loadouts. It just seems pointless and like a huge chore. I am playing Uncharted 3 for fun not for highest rank possible.If I didn't have to re-level my Boosters I would consider it.
I hate to compare this to CoD but at least in those games they have those titles and emblems that you can unlock ONLY in Prestige and you also get new challenges. And in Black Ops you get additional Class Slots each time you Prestiged. I think they should have more guns, skins, emblem pieces, taunts, clothing that you can buy/unlock that are only vailable if you Legacy. Like in Red Dead Redemption; there were special skins and mounts (like a buffalo and a bull) that you can unlock if you pass into Legend in that. In Red Dead I wanted the buffalo mount; so I was eager to go into Legend. If they had more stuff in Uncharted 3 when you Legacy it may be worth it. But until then; I'll stay 75, thank you.
Anyone else feel the same? I think Naughty Dog should add stuff for "Legacy" players to make the painstaking effort worth it.

i dont really see the point either espcially when you loose all hard earned boosters you work hard to level up.
i dont really see the point to playing uc3 much because its so easy to level up in, and a friend of mine is already going to level up in badges again in legacy mode because hes a constant player. its to easy for everyone, and there not really worth it espeically when theres not anything that special to gain from the negaitves legacy in skins, guns, just loosing everything you gained that you didnt buy. alot of other games have things you can only buy in these lagacy modes, but uc3 doesnt really offer anything that great other than a doughnut skin.
i personally liked uc2 leveling system that made it harder to level up after you reach level 50 and the negative boosters were worth the wait because it stacked up medals and cash, and i see on uc3 that its not doing so. though i do agree, im not a COD fan but i have plenty of friends who love it and they always tell me about the prestige leveling and the new things they get for working to those levels. so i do agree that naughtydog should make it worth the time and frustration by adding things onto it that you can only get from those levels, and hopefully change the way they work. so when the time comes if i do make it, im staying at 75 (which i think should be raised as well because the last one was 80 but thats naughtydogs choice) until i see something better
i see it as a way of getting out of your comfort zone pla...
i see it as a way of getting out of your comfort zone
players get more advantages when they progress to higher levels
when you go legacy you actually see how much you got attached to your leveled up boosters and kickbacks
its merely an optional choice for those who want to challenge themselves to there satisfaction
as for me i think i will go all the way eventually
...I'm The Japanese Guy In The Suit
I agree. It would have been a smart move on ND's part to...
I agree. It would have been a smart move on ND's part to NOT reset the booster levels. You should have to buy them able but the level should stay where it was at. I don't want to legacy if it means I lose the hard work I put into leveling up boosters. It's even more work than unlocking treasures.

Great and informational photos! Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for sharing Art!
This is awesome!
WOW! Very cool! Lot of great info in this thread!
How can you possibly ruin a helmet like that, that badly remolding it? HOw???? someone needs a beating for that. Otherwise that is awesome I'm glad it was found at all.
those are terrific
Well when they cast it in ultracal it doesn't shrink and expands slightly. Anyway for some reason it didn't want to come out and the main guy who molded it was a premiere mold maker so I guess it was just a brain fart. Anyway those are knife cuts on the back of the helmet to get it out of the mold.
Last edited by Rogue Studios; Dec 30, 2006 at 9:34 PM.
I just meant it shouldn't have been cast off of at all. surely Don post had the people to recreate it without molding an original? And then the helmets where nowhere near the same size as the molds they took?
Very cool pics, I always liked that suit.....
They never used this mold for production it was destroyed after they poured my casting, or at least that is to the best of their memory.

It's like Christmas again!!!
I am happy to see these pics made available to the masses. Hopefully we will continue to see great stuff like this.
Great pics Braks, thanks for helping push the boundries of this forums knowledge. :thumbup
WOW!!!! I skip one day and look what surfaces!! Fantastic pics... without reading all the posts I guess it's a given that the ears were machined aluminum!
To the ORIGINAL photographer, thank you for sharing
Well I am very happy to see these pics sufrace. I will now be repainting my helmet to further match this one. Brak's are there any more pics of this helmet perhaps from the right (if you are looking at it) side?
Even in a galaxy far, far away...they still have duct tape...
awesome pics
