Asking the All Blacks to remember Rustenburg will bypass all of them except Daniel Carter, Richie McCaw, Tony Woodcock and Andrew Hore who played there six years ago.
That group might be enough in any ordinary contest but the All Blacks will need a much broader motivation and intent when they suit up tomorrow for their final Rugby Championship test against South Africa.
Rustenburg is a city in the country's northwest, a place where the All Blacks came to grief in 2006, after rampaging through eight previous tests and collecting the Bledisloe Cup and Tri-Nations titles.
The tourists stayed in nearby Sun City where some of the resort's casual atmosphere seeped into the squad's psyche as they delivered a stuttering display.
Tomorrow the All Blacks are heading into their ninth test this season with the Bledisloe and inaugural Rugby Championship trophies stashed in their kitbags.
This time they are staying near the Soccer City venue for their duel with the Boks and, so they tell us, have their minds right on the job as part of a mission to create a new world record-winning sequence.
Men like Kieran Read who set the tone for this side have spoken about their ambitions and their take on this international.
The All Blacks never played a test without consequences.
This was a different kind of hurdle, a test away from home against a very strong side intent on sorting out the glitches which unstitched their search for victory at the Dunedin Stadium.
Let's be very clear. The only decent opposition, the only side with the all-round clout to shake the All Blacks this season, have been the Springboks. Ireland, the Wallabies and Pumas have had their moments but this year for a raft of reasons they are not in the same league.
The Boks are a different case. They have an approach to international rugby which suits their psyche and has done for many decades.
They have not shifted far from a plan to smash their rivals up front and nail the advantage with an array of gifted kicking five eighths or opportunist wings.
It is an effective strategy and when in tune is mighty difficult to counter.
When Bok forwards sniff any visiting inattention to duty, they will ramp up their venom even further.
Mark tomorrow as one of those occasions, a test where the atmosphere will be fiery and the contest more intense than the All Blacks have endured this year.
They know all that detail and will be intent on keeping their winning sequence.
That determination does not always translate into the desired result, there are many factors - such as referee Alain Rolland - which come into play.
So for this set of eyes, this contest located near the smoky townships of Soweto will be the crunch game of the All Blacks season.

A stroker kit.......That's what I was going to do to my 04' WJ until I sold it. If your getting Headers I would get your TB Ported by one of our Vendors and if you don't get a K&N Intake.
Re: banks headers
I went with an APN header for my 99 wrangler, made just like the banks and borla. Alot cheaper too, I think I payed 130 for it. Had it on for a year now with a magnaflow h/f cat and flowmaster super 40, no problems.

Rule of Emperor Shizong of Jin
Liu Bang (256-195BC) Rebel chief who toppled Qin and founded Han rule
Xu Heng - Confucianist and Educator of the Yuan Dynasty
Li Hongzhang (1823-1901) Powerful official invites controversy
Once on the throne, Wulu - who from now on would be known to the posterity as Emperor Shizong - reversed Hailingwang's plan for invading Southern Song, as well as his domestic Sinicization policies. Although conversant with Chinese culture himself, Shizong thought that the Jurchens' strength was in maintaining their "simple and sincere", culture, and would often attribute Hailingwang's defeat to the latter's wholesale abandonment of it. He wasn't opposed Chinese culture per se - in fact, he once claimed that the "natural and honest" Jurchen way of life was much like what the ancient Chinese sages taught - but he thought that merely reading the classics without putting their ideas in practice was counterproductive.
During Shizong's reign confiscated large areas of unused land and land that had been grabbed by a few large Jurchen landowners, and redistributed it to the Jurchen settlers in North China. Still, many Jurchen preferred not to work their land plots, but lease them to Chinese farmers, and engage in heavy drinking instead. The emperor criticized his people for losing their martial spirit and military skills, such as archery and riding. To give example to his subjects, Shizong made hunting an annual royal activity in 1162, and until 1188 he went hunting almost every autumn and winter. He liked archery and ball games as well.
As part of his promotion of the Jurchen culture and Jurchen language, soon after ascending the throne Shizong started a program of translating Chinese classics into Jurchen. The Jurchen version of the Chinese Classic of History (Shang shu) was first to be published; by the end of the Dading era, many other Chinese classics become available in Jurchen as well.
Early in his reign, Shizong chose 3,000 Jurchen men to study the Jurchen language. In 1173, the state started offering jinshi degrees in Jurchen as well, opened the Jurchen Imperial Academy (Õź│ń£¤ÕøĮÕŁÉÕŁ") in the capital and local schools in all the circuits (lu) of the empire. It is thought by modern scholars that the purpose of offering the jinshi examinations in Jurchen was more to promote Jurchen scholarship than to recruit more Jurchen for the state service, as most of the Jurchen jinshi degree holders ended up working as teachers of the Jurchen language and of the Chinese classics in Jurchen translation.
Shizong required that when dealing with Jurchen speakers, government officials responded in Jurchen. In 1174, even the imperial guards were told to learn Jurchen, and not to speak in Chinese; in 1183, one thousand copies of the Jurchen edition of the Canon of Filial Piety were distributed to them for their edification.
As one of the ways of restoring Jurchen traditions, Shizong prohibited servants and slaves from wearing silk, and in 1188 he prohibited Jurchens in general from wearing Chinese clothes.
Shizong (as well as his successor Zhangzong) has been described as a believer in both Buddhism and Taoism. In 1187, he invited Wang Chuyi (a disciple of the founder of the Quanzhen school of Taoism, Wang Chongyang) to preach at his inner palace. (According to some sources, another Wang Chongyang's disciple, Qiu Chuji, was invited as well). He requested the presence of Wang Chongyang himself at his deathbed.

Over on her blog and on Jezebel, Allison Francis explains why she punched a stranger in the face on the streets of Allston:
I'm not exactly a placid person, but I'd never punched someone before
and I believe in the merits of peace over violence. Whatever that guy
said wasn't the worst thing that's been said to me by any means. I just
snapped. After 23 years as a woman and ~2 years being 'out' in Allston,
after having been forced to tolerate my relationships and humanity
degraded on a regular basis with no option other than to keep walking, I
wasn't going to take it.

Our first visit in Washington was to some old family friends in one of the many Springfields of the USA who live in an American-style retirement village. Wow, that is the way to do it. They had several restaurants, on site spas and medical centres and even a TV studio. We were quite tempted to stay ourselves.
After a lovely lunch it was time to head into the big smoke itself
Our hosts for the evening was our friend George from university and his wife Constance and their gorgeous baby Juliette who had moved to Washington a month earlier. As we were squeezing the Tank into their underground parking space, conspicuous amongst the rather nicer cars around us, George confessed that they were looking for a cheap car to buy. With 2 days to sell the Tank before our flight home cars don't come much cheaper but we weren't sure that she was quite the ideal family runaround. Especially as by now three of the door handles were broken, which meant that we had to operate a one-way system in the back; you had to get in on the left which only opened from the outside and out on the right which only opened from the inside. As we also still needed to get all our stuff back up to New York they decided in the end that they'd look for a more practical car and so it was into the Tank with us for our final drive in her up to New York.

Present technology is characterized by complexity, rapid change and growing size of technical systems. This has caused increasing concern with the human involvement in system safety. Analyses of the major accidents during recent decades have concluded that human errors on part of operators, designers or managers have played a major role. There are, however, several basic problems in analysis of accidents and identification of human error. This paper addresses the nature of causal explanations and the ambiguity of the rules applied for identification of the events to include in analysis and for termination of the search for `causes'. In addition, the concept of human error is analysed and its intimate relation with human adaptation and learning is discussed. It is concluded that identification of errors as a separate class of behaviour is becoming increasingly difficult in modern work environments. The influence of this change on the control of safety of large-scale industrial systems is discussed.

I normally take all my capping and other collected wax and throw them into a very large pot and boil them with some water. Upon cooling I would scrape the bottom crap off the wax block and store. When needed I would fill the pot with water again, and melt the wax. I would then turn off the heat, and once the wax settled on top, I would skim off the wax and pour into wax molds (Not candle molds). So far that has been my wax ability.
In now attempting to make candles, I am doing the same steps except straining the wax through some cloth before filling the candle molds. The wax seems clean enough.But here is the problem. The candles seem to pop every other second. And I am not sure why. So I ask...
Could this be from any minimal(trace) water in the wax since I reboil it in water as the last step, even though I let it sit for awhile to let the wax settle on the top?
I am using 2/0 wick off a large spool. One of my books mentions "priming" the wick, but does not say how. What would that be, and if I'm using "dry" wicking from the bee mags, could this be a source of the popping. Air in the wick? Moisture collecting from the process in the wick? And if this is from the water, can this "dry" itself out by letting the candles sit for a certain amount of time before burning?
I am certain dirt or objects in the wax is not a source, as I do not see any dirt at the based of the lighted candle even with a magnifying glass. But is more filtering of the wax, in light of how I am processing it, needed or standard?
I can see little bubbles of either water or air at the base of the flame. I am not sure if this is the popping source. Could this be eliminated, or is this just normal. I do not have alot of time spent looking at candle flames until now. Is this something to do with "primimg" the wick I mentioned?
As a side note, the prepared wicks with the metal base work like crap. The flame is small and goes out eventually. The 2/0 wick I'm using seems to burn great for tapers and votives, I just need to stop the popping.
Thank you for any advice.

The recent election in Israel reveals that a significant portion of the Israeli population has allowed anger and fear to warp their sense of reality. In a sense, Israelis resemble Americans who allowed the Bush politics of fear and hate to take over the nation's foreign policy which led to the disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan. Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, who heads Kadima, is attempting to organize a coalition government together with Likud and Labor which might offer the best opportunity to have a leadership able to engage in serious discussions with Palestinian and Arab leaders. But, Likud head, Benjamin Netanyahu continues to create a coalition that includes the hot headed Avigdor Lieberman whose bombastic words about killing Palestinians will not serve to work for peace.
Many American Jewish leaders are disheartened by the current political impasse in Israel. Daniel Kurtzer, former American ambassador to Israel made clear the presence of Lieberman in any government will make peace virtually impossible. "If on the one hand, Israel expect the discourse from Arab countries to be within reasonable bounds, it should also expect that its own politicians be within bounds, and Lieberman's hasn't been within bounds."
Wake up to reality, Israelis.

Ok I personally am not a fan of the colorations that horns have, and I think it makes movies sound funny. To me, I would rather accurate speakers over loud for theaters. However, you can have both, which was my point. Though Scanspeak is expensive, it will bring a ton to a home theater, besides being easy to design with, very accurate, but they play very loud with low distortion. This gives them great dynamics and makes them a great speaker for theater use. Yeah horns and general PA drivers will give you more efficiency, the use of larger drivers will give you more output with less drivers, but at the expense of accuracy and distortion. Some people can deal with that, I personally can't, I find I can hear those inaccuracies in the frequency response, and for me, it takes away from the experience.
Speaker designs like the Dunlavy's and any other sort of array method is great in that it allows ever increasing diaphram surface area where it matters most. I think Snell calls that expanding array technology, but I happen to agree that its a great method. If I had the room and money right now, my speakers would use a design somewhat like that, rather than either a simpler small design, or large horn loaded method.
Let me give another plug for going with surround sound. I don't think you will find the experience to be truely as involving. I first will say that the majority of center channels I have heard sound like crap and don't match well to the main speakers. The best solution I have heard is a speaker that is not only using the same drivers, but arrayed in the same orientation. I don't have that method in my own house, but I have an LCD and don't really have room for that. However, it would be my prefered method, and with a projector, the route I woudl take. Another positive of surround sound is that durring loud dynamic peaks, there really is no replacement for displacement. Having 5 speakers and a subwoofer, or two, will give you the ability to have that much more cone area for the peaks. Most movies, in my experience, take advantage of that fact and will have explosions and loud peaks run through at least the front three speakers somewhat evenly, if not all of the speakers. In a system with the main speakers setup as large, they also will take on bass for that channel, with LFE handled only by the sub, but none the less the dynamics are spread out mostly among all the speakers. In a smaller system with "small" main speakers, the sub will handle both LFE and the main speakers bass, in this case you need to have a sub that can keep up.
I think you are planning this anyway, but I recomend excessive subs. Example might be 4-15" woofers each getting 2-300 watts, ported box, etc. You could go with a horn loaded enclosure but you are going to lose some of the low end extension or have a very large box. This is an issue for movies as explosions have plenty of content between 40hz and 10hz. The tactile aspect of movies is going to mostly exist in the sub 30hz region. You can get output in excess of 130 decibles with a large ported box and plenty of cone area. Mach 5 has some very well priced drivers that will give you an arm up on this project as far as saving money. He also has a decently performing 6" midbass I believe you could use for your project.

One cool thing about foam & concrete construction is that you can built the room in any shape you feel like.
Have you ever considered using non-parallel walls?
You would be the only guy on the block with a room like that, and there are acoustic reasons to do it too.
I've seen houses built like yours, those foam bricks fit together just like lego pieces! How cool is that?

Hello JinMTVT,
You are getting some great advise here.
1) lose the square dimension of the room
2) wire for 7.1, even if you don't want to use it
3) use curved or off angle walls
Now for my thoughts
I agree with you about surround sound in that most of the systems are adjusted very poorly, but as many have said when done right the room you are in can disappear and you are transported to the place you see on screen. This can happen with a 2 channel system but it takes a lot more effort and $$$$.
I would put in a double wall up front and use the chamber for an Infanint Baffle line array using 4 FICaraudio Q.18's centered below the screen. With 2 feet between the walls you would have plenty of volume for the back wave. Check out this site, http://ibsubwoofers.proboards51.com/index.cgi
If you want a base horn just copy this installation, http://www.royaldevice.com/custom3.htm
He is getting 120dB at 1Watt 1Meter and 100dB 1W at listening area 6 meters away.

I am more than aware that i am getting the best advices around here! that is the reason why i posted this here in the first place! so many wise users
Let's say that i am convinced that a properly designed surround system will transport me in another world.
I have to admit that, if the intent of the sound production was to use direct sound to overcome all reflections ( or the lack of it if treated properly? )
using drivers positionned all around aka 6-7.1 systems,
i guess that a real illusion could be created.
I have browsed through the dolby link you have provided without much success in securing some knowledge, could you point to a few "key" documents?
in my system ..probably will be completly overload with subs, isn't it the point to have too much of bass so i can tune down to just enough/perfect ??
So now i will look seriously at surround sound system since i do respect you all and you are pointing me toward something i seem to miss.
Then let's get working on surround sound stuff.
( sorry but i always need to understand 90%+ of stuff i do, otherwise i don't enjoy doing it )
What by definition is a complete surround sound system??
Then, what is with 6.1 and 7.1??
wich one should i focus on? cause i keep seeing mostly 5.1 movies, not 6.1 or 7.1
and then, what would be the implication of playing 5.1 movies on 6-7.1 system? and the contrary ?
Then for each driver position,
what are the requirements?
Is there any sub-bass sound included in the surround sound source ? rears? sides?
do i need as much sound power for the sides or rears as for the front loudspeakers?
i guess that using all the same drivers all round or timber match is really important?
I wanted to use diy dacs for each channel, this will be very complicated now ... should i settle for lesser quality receiver with built in sound splitter?
( i guess it would be easier to accept alot of different digital signals .. ) everything will be driven from a computer with coaxial digital output,
probably 90-95% movies
then about the room accoustics
I have read a few good books, ( notably MAster Handbook of Accoustics by McGRaw Hill ... )
so i understand most of the theories,
but applying it to real world stuff , i lack in experience.
so what are we looking for exactly ?
complete lack of reflection ?? partly?
I have almost no limitation in the form or size of the room, since my house plans will be changed accordingly.
I had originally planned non paralell side walls
and a size of approx 20' by 20' for the total room.
But i could make it a lot larger, and use curved walls also. the ceiling willl have to be striaght though as it is made of foam/metal joists on wich will be poured concrete so it needs to be perfectly straight
but i can add anything below it, could also make the room 9 or 10' high if needed.
I have also no aesthetic limitations ...
i don't watch movies with lights turn on
Was planned for 6 to 8 seats in 2 rows with the rera row beeing at 1.5' higher than the front.
So let me know what are your ideas for the room design
keep in mind that all the walls and ceiling will be in concrete covered with 2 to 4" of polystirene foam
( already really absoprtive ) and i plan to prototype a product i designed in my house that will replace drywall
( drysh$% ) and will be mostly foam and really absorptive also ... about 0.75" thick
thanks again all for your time

C'mon guys!
i need some input soon ...
i will need to complete my house plans in the next 1-2 months now , and judging from the influence you guys have on me for this theater room
i will probably have to relocate a few unimportant rooms
( wife's stuff ... )
and drastically change its shape!

This grand villa lies in a quiet cul-de-sac, of a house-and-garden neighbourhood and on the outskirts of Porto Petro, one of the south-west's most sought-after locations. The free-standing house in a timeless style is spread over two floors, with a magnificent sea view being enjoyed from almost every room. On the ground floor, the entrance-hall leads into the open living room, truly impressive with its 5m tall ceiling and open gallery level. A fireplace provides for comfort on cooler days. The ground floor further features a modern fitted kitchen with a separate storage pantry, a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet. Through the large garage one has direct access to the home's utility room and the kitchen. On the upper floor lies an open gallery, which could be converted into a fourth bedroom with just a few minor constructive changes. The two bedrooms on the upper floor share a common bathroom and enjoy access to the terrace outside, which is partially covered. The large heatable swimming pool invites one to bask in its 72sqm and thanks to its sliding roof, may also be enjoyed at colder times of the year. Just a few steps through the generous garden and down the property's cliffside, bring one straight to sea shore. Popular beaches such as Cala Mondragó are reachable with a couple of minutes' drive. Here one may enjoy absolute peace and quiet with an overwhelming sea-view and nevertheless also reach the town-centre of Cala D'Or in just a few minutes, which offers countless restaurants, cafés, bars, shops as well as its marina. The picturesque harbour of Porto Petro too, is right around the corner. An exclusive property in a first-class location.

Theatremalpertuis discovered Murphet while he was conducting theatre workshops in Amsterdam in the early 1990s, hence the Belgian company's interest in Slow Love. But it wasn't until Theatremalpertuis revived the play in 1999 that Wishart became involved at their request. They knew of Wishart through the cult Australian contemporary jazz improvisational trio, the Necks, who are more widely known in Europe than in Australia.
Wishart is the only person to have ever recorded with the Necks, on their 1994 album, Aquatic. She also recorded an album called Azeruz with Necks pianist Chris Abrahams. "It was around the time I was writing the music for Slow Love, so the music for Slow Love features music from that album."
Wishart wrote the music during 1998-99. "Richard gave me the script before a long train journey," she said, "and it immediately was sonic to me. (Murphet) writes in all the foley sounds, like gunshots and explosions. I don't think of there being a difference between what some people might call sound effects and what others might call music. I enjoy the sound world that crosses between those, and this piece is wonderful for that. It's the first time I've been able to bring that together."
Theatremalpertuis toured Slow Love in Belgium and Amsterdam and in 2000 brought their production to Australia for Robyn Archer's Adelaide Festival, as a joint commission by the Australia Council Music Board and the Flemish Cultural Department, the latter providing the bulk of the funding.
"Belgium is very supportive of new music and the electronic scene," says Wishart. "It's very strong on contemporary arts."
Chamber Made's production of Slow Love is more minimalist, says Wishart.
"Douglas (Horton) is a different director and he's come up with great ideas about how to use sound, like holding back on the sounds to create atmopshere and effects, whereas the Belgians really wanted full on action and sound," she says.
Wishart uses pre-recorded sounds, her own vocals, electronic treatment of live sounds, and a hurdy-gurdy, a stringed instrument from mediaeval times that has remained "an underground experimental instrument," she says. "As a composer, it's interesting because it kind of bridges what we'd call Western-sounding instruments and Arabic/eastern ones. You can't place it."
Slow Love is on until June 29 at the Beckett Theatre, CUB Malthouse. Book: 9685 5111.

Spring Hinges
I just bought a house a few months ago. It has an attached garage and the door leading from the house to the garage has spring hinges on it that makes the door close. So what my problem is that these spring hinges dont want to close the door. I have tryed taking an alen wrench to tighten the spring but when I try the spring goes right back to the position it was in at the begining. Does anyone know how to retention the springs so that the door will close by itself? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks Joe.
It might be easier to install a new self closer. Home Depot has a few different types and they're quite simple to install. The kind that you have tend to get dirty and gummed up from people spraying wd-40 on them. These doors must have proper self closing devices as per code.
To add to Ron's post, some of these closers have little pins to hold the spring in position once you have it as tight as you want/need - usually 2 pins if I remember correctly. These pins may have fallen out prior to you even buying the house. You need the exact right sized ones and you may not be able to find them anywhere. Your best bet is to probably replace it. As Ron said, you entry door to the garage has to have one by code.
This is pretty obviously but the first time I worked with these silly hinges (spring pin auto closure type) I got bit by this one.
If the hinge is slightly lose or can move at all it will not auto close.
Turned out the previous owners had stripped the screw holes just enough that the hinge was able to back out half the depth of the hinge itself. Hardly noticed it. Tightening down the hinges fixed the problem.
The idea above about the pins is likely gonna be your best bet.... and yes WD40 mixed with household dust makes these things work like crud too.

Tournament a hit on and off court
Billed as the most globally recognized event in Palm Beach County (that was before Donald Trump's wedding last week), the Millennium International Tennis Championships start on Monday and run through February 6 at the Delray Beach Tennis Center (201 W. Atlantic Ave.). 2004 champion Ricardo Mello (pictured) has returned to defend his title, and the 32-man Association of Tennis Professionals field also includes Vince Spadea, James Blake, Jan Michael Gambil, Xavier Malisse, and Jiri Novak. Single-session tickets range from $10 to $75, and weeklong passes are also available. In addition to the great on-court tennis action all tournament long, special events include a Charity Tennis Ball and Casino Night prior to opening play, a Ladies Day Luncheon, a VIP Buffet Dinner, and both a Stadium Court Charity Pro-Am and a Publix Supermarkets Kid's Play Day. The Millennium's mingling of world-class, on-court tennis action along with the off-court social element and charity contribution has earned the ATP's award of excellence for site presentation. You will not want to miss this first-rate party. Admission to each special event is sold separately and includes one single-session ticket.

To come out and play
Now that the curtain on the winter meet at Gulfstream Park (901 S. Federal Hwy., Hallandale Beach) has been up for about three weeks, most of the kinks in the new format, necessitated by current on-site construction, have been worked out. That's good news for racing fans, and it comes just in time for Gulfstream's Third Annual Sunshine Millions Day this Saturday. The event pits Florida-bred horses against those from California in a series of races running simultaneously at Gulfstream and its sister track, Santa Anita. The afternoon's docket includes the $1 Million Sunshine Millions Classic, the $500,000 Filly and Mare Turf, the $300,000 Filly and Mare Sprint, and the $250,000 Sunshine Millions Dash. The sum of these stakes adds up to the richest day in Florida-bred history. No self-respecting pony fan will be absent. Park admission is $5, and parking is free.

Taiwan diplomats dismiss mainland saber rattling
Chris Cockel, The China Post, Washington D.C. Thursday, November 27, 2003, 12:00 am TWN
Taiwan's two most senior diplomats in Washington on Tuesday dismissed mainland China's renewed threats to attack the island, and stressed that the administration of President Chen Shui-bian has done nothing to warrant such hostile rhetoric.
Mainland Chinese officials, including Premier Wen Jiabao, have stepped up pressure on the United States to oppose plans by the Chen administration to hold referendums on key policy issues and to revise the island's constitution.
Faced with Beijing's loathing of President Chen's leadership, Taiwan's chief representative to the United States, Chen Chien-jen, and his staff have pulled out all the stops to try to convince the international community, and Washington in particular, that the government has no plans to declare Taiwan independence.
"This is all part of the democratization process in Taiwan. Taiwan's people want a better, more mature democracy," noted Representative Chen, and the island's "leaders are well aware of the people's aspiration."
Taiwan's leaders also understand the sensitive nature of the issues, particularly in the lead-up to a presidential election, and have been careful to frequently reiterate President Chen's inaugural pledge to adhere to the so-called "four noes" policy, the representative explained.
"We're not going to vote on unification or independence," he stressed.
Regardless of the mainland's threats, "we (Taiwan's people) have to continuously go forward, deepening our democracy by having a new constitution," remarked Taiwan's Deputy Representative Michael Tsai.
"I don't believe China would wage a war against Taiwan just because we have a new constitution," he said.
The efforts by Taiwan's diplomats and visiting envoys, such as Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Chairperson Tsai Ing-wen, in explaining the government's rationale, are paying off, according to Chen.
"At first, some (in the Bush administration) did express concern, but now I think they understand what we mean," he said.
U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Randall G. Schriver, speaking to Taiwan's reporters on Nov. 20, clarified the U.S. position on the issues, noted Chen.
"We (the U.S.) understand (Taiwan's) interest in pursuing referenda, as well as the new constitution," said Schriver.
"Whether to pursue a referendum, whether to alter the constitution, is really a matter of Taiwan domestic politics, and we (the U.S.) don't meddle in that," he continued.
And, although President Chen has repeatedly stated his pledge to stand by his "four noes" pledge, which includes a promise not to declare Taiwan independence, getting Beijing to believe the president is virtually a non-starter.
Still, the president's assurances are also designed to "make sure people on the other side of the Taiwan Strait understand quite clearly why and to what extent (Taiwan is) going to have a referendum and a new constitution," noted Representative Chen. Though he doubts Taiwan's message will be heard in Beijing.
Premier Wen's comments may reflect Beijing's official position, but "it doesn't mean his understanding of what's going on in Taiwan is correct," said Chen.
Premier Wen is due in Washington on Dec. 7 for meetings with U.S. officials that are predicted to focus heavily on Taiwan.
On Taiwan at least, Wen may walk away empty-handed, as the Bush administration looks set to stick to its tried and tested formula when discussing cross-strait relations, according to U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Responding to a reporter's question, while accompanied by Macedonia's Prime Minister Branko Crvenkovski at the State Department in Washington on Tuesday, Powell commented: "you can be absolutely sure that we will be prepared to discuss Taiwan. As we always do, we reaffirm to our Chinese guests that our "one China" policy remains our policy, founded on the three communiques, as well as the Taiwan Relations Act."

To you—from Mrs. Margaret Thatcher, M.P
It is my privilege to pass on to my readers, and to all her constituents in Finchley and Friern Barnet, Mrs. Margaret Thatcher's New Year Message:
"The past twelve months has seen tragedies and surprises that none of us could have foretold. At this time, many of us wonder what the coming year holds in store, although I feel it is as well we are not clairvoyant. We can cope with things as they happen, day by day, whereas we would probably falter if we knew about everything at once.
"I am reminded very much of what, to me, is the most memorable of all Christmas broadcasts through the years—that given by the late King George the Sixth, when in his deep, deliberate voice, he used a quotation which has since become famous:
"And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: 'Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.' And he replied: 'Go out into the darkness, and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light, and safer than a known way.' So I went forth, and finding the Hand of God, trod gladly into the night. And He led me towards the hills, and the breaking of day in the lone East."
"I am sure that it is this approach which enables us to derive the greatest enjoyment from happy occasions and to overcome personal sorrows.
"I wish you all a good New Year in 1964."

SourceOriginally Posted by Blizzard Entertainment
I think we will be back to using arcane which is bad after everyone taking crit gear towards fire spec all week. They wont want to mess to much with frost because of PvP and fire just scares them to death. For frost id make deep freeze do damage again which wouldnt affect PvP. Ive tried fire this week with 37%crit and it still sucks. The nerf to pyro makes it impossible to get a good combustion of because of low ignites. They need to give us the 10% nerf back and let us spread our bombs again. Arcane should just go back to the way it was but without scorch.
I'm not a native English speaker, and yet, I don't suck at English. The argument "English is not my mother tongue" doesn't actually give you an excuse to do so.
Yes, in theory it should be today.
There are a number of things they could do besides flat % modifiers to the primary nuke while still calling it a 'passive' increase, but I agree that is the more likely option. I'd like to see, for fire at least, a tweak to the numbers pyro outputs as that is where you feel it most strongly at the top end of the damage scale.
Anyway, just going to add my own \o/ at the fact we'll be worth bringing again.
I hope they wont buff mage's in pvp tough, they are in a very good spot now. Their burst is strong and frequent, buffing mage's damage would make it overpowered.
Buff us like demo locks in pvp where we use every cd in the game and then afk
Also, we won't be 'worth bringing again' as long as neither of these two things doesn't happen:
- We top meters
- We bring some form of raid utility that isn't capped at "one per fight"
Because we bring literally nothing but DPS (unless your raid actually has no BM Hunters nor Shamans, in which case, your comp is pretty bad), we'll always be sat unless a fight calls for stacking Mages (Low mobility, horrible target-switching... Why would any of these fights ask for that?) or we top meters.
I'm not calling for a Hybrid tax, I'm calling to give us something to give to the raid. Making a Mana Well would be pretty cool that players could use to grab a Mana Gem, or replenish some mana or something. Or a raid cooldown like Hymn of Hope?

Only the Pyro buff would be something I'd consider "passive" though.. Hm.

I'm not a native English speaker, and yet, I don't suck at English. The argument "English is not my mother tongue" doesn't actually give you an excuse to do so.
At a guess, would be along the lines of the following:
Invoker's Energy now buffs all damage dealt by 20% (was 15%)
Rune of Power now increases your mana regeneration by 100% (was 75%)
Pyroblast damage increased by 5%
Arcane Blast and Arcane Missiles damage increased by 5%
Frostbolt damage increased by 5%
I can't see anything "drastic" change, ie Deep Freeze doing damage again or things like that. Passive changes won't change playstyles will only affect numbers.
Anything passive isn't going to impact on the overall utility we bring, so it's going to revert to 'bring the mage because they do top dps'. I'm not particularly against that, hell I like seeing my little blue line at the top of the meters, but it'd be nice to be useful outside of that for the next time something like this happens.
As to buffing our lvl 90 talents, I'd rather they didn't, but it's possible
A douchebag move would be to make portals/table require reagents/people to help you cast it. A buff to the +% damage of Invocation or Ring of Power would be a 100% passive change.
I'm not a native English speaker, and yet, I don't suck at English. The argument "English is not my mother tongue" doesn't actually give you an excuse to do so.
I think the fix is quite obvious. Increase Invocation buff/Rune of Power buff until we're doing competitive DPS with the rest of the raid. It'll give us a straight buff without throwing a wrench in the way Blizzard wants us to play our Mages. The only problem I see is if Fire scales as well as people make it sound, then I can see Fire Mages being a tad bit OP with the extra SP buff towards the end of the tier.
Also I don't see too many people going RoP or Invocation for PVP, so I'm guessing the increased SP Buff to those two talents won't change PVP balance too much. But then again, with it being possible to dispel Incanter's Ward now, maybe PVP Mages will go Invocation instead of Incanter's Ward.
Blizzard has really been pushing for DPS parity between all 3 specs, and they technically got it. Buffing RoP/Invocation seems like the simplest way to equally buff all 3 specs.
Don't you guys read the tweets before posting? I read some interesting things like Mana wells, 90 lvl talent buffs etc.
Thread is not about what would be nice to buff. It is already stated that the buffs will be passive. No new spells, no mechanics changes.
The only logical thing to do now so they don't need to nerf us again later on, would be a significant(like 20%) buff on our main nukes as I already posted. Fireball/Frostbolt/Arcane Blast.
This change will not affect PVP as you need to cast a lot of these spells to make the difference something that is almost impossible in most PVP scenarios.
Lets just don't start whining because we don't get buffed on what we would like to and just be happy they buff us whatever the buff will be.
Also, your suggested change to 90 talents would make sure that no Fire or Frost Mages in their right minds would take Ring of Power over Invocation.
That said, I'm not exactly sure where the specs are at now, which one is highest etc., but if Mages are really "bottom of the charts" like some people say, I don't think a 5% buff to one (or two) spells would be enough.
That, or people are just being overdramatic.

I'm not a native English speaker, and yet, I don't suck at English. The argument "English is not my mother tongue" doesn't actually give you an excuse to do so.
What is the point of the PTR's anyway.
As for Fire/Arcane, an increase to Fireball and ABL would easily fit the bill as no one even plays Arcane PvP at high levels, and no one casts Fireball as Fire PvP. Frost is just in a weird place for that though.

3 days after 5.1 launches: Combustion nerfed to 50% Ignite, CM cut in half from 1.5 to 1.25
I seriously don't get the PTR at all when we're given little attention whatsoever. I don't see how ^ could possibly pass if we were given the slightest amount of dev time.
And yes, I know it's been around 4 months since that happened; I'm still pissed about it to this day because it's fucking lazy and sloppy to do something so dick.

"There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women." – Madeleine Albright, Women in the World Summit, 2012
Community. It's one of the most important, most fundamental elements of the Urban Zen philosophy. We've seen passion amplified exponentially because of a shared commitment to create change and we've seen innovative solutions born out of collective conversations. From the very beginning, women have always, always been an integral part of our community and like the above quote from Madeleine Albright conveys, we believe that creating a sisterhood of support is essential.
Our founder, Donna Karan, has a huge heart for women and has long understood how important it is for women to support each other. It is because of these things that the Urban Zen Foundation team attended the Daily Beast's 3rd Annual Women in the World Summit, which kicked off on Thursday March 8th, in celebration of International Women's Day.
The three-day event, hosted by Newsweek and The Daily Beast, brought together some of the most prominent figures in business, politics, women's rights and journalism to discuss the most prevalent issues affecting women today. With an itinerary that literally included hundreds of women, it's difficult to concisely convey the enormity of wisdom, passion and motivation that was shared at the summit. With powerhouse women like Secretary Hillary Clinton, Gloria Steinem, Madeleine Albright, Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie, Sheryl Sandberg, Zainab Salbi, Diane Von Furstenberg, Sarah Brown and Chelsea Clinton taking the stage to give voice to the rise of women, the on-going fight for equality and the necessity of coming together, it was impossible to not want to be a part of this compelling story of change.
It wasn't only women who were there to speak powerfully and poignantly about pressing issues, there were also an impressive number of girls who took the stage to showcase how, even as children, they're ready and able to stand in their power, own their voices, and usher in a promising future. Suma Tharu serves as such a beautiful example. A 16-year-old former slave from Nepal turn student thanks to Room to Read, Suma bravely took the stage to sing a song she wrote about her time as an indentured servant: "Selfish were my mother and father, they gave birth to a daughter. Did you want to see me suffer, mother? Did you want to see me suffer, father?"
We were also struck by the panel led by Chelsea Clinton on the digital lives of girls. Chelsea shared, "Too often we focus on the perils and pitfalls that the Internet and social media pose for young women and girls, and clearly those challenges are real. Too rarely, though, do we focus on the ways in which young women and girls are using the Internet and social media to find their voices to sing and dance, but also to project their voices and to help organize and build communities and movements … to help build a world online and offline that all of us would rather live in."
The young women that joined Chelsea on the panel were filled with resiliency and vibrant potential and a committed passion for becoming game-changers. It was beyond inspiring.
Perhaps the most moving portion of the summit occurred during the finale when Meryl Streep, in all her luminary splendor, stepped onto the stage to introduce Secretary Hillary Clinton. It was awe-inspiring to see the Women in the World stage shared by two women who've spent their lives serving as captivating champions of women's voices. Meryl introduced Secretary Clinton by lifting up her latest Oscar (which she just recently won for her performance as Margaret Thatcher in the film Iron Lady) and said, "This is what you get when you play a world leader," and then as Secretary Clinton stepped onto the stage, Meryl finished her speech by saying, "And this is what you get when you ARE a world leader."
With profoundly articulate eloquence the Secretary spoke to the attendees of the summit with conviction born out of a lifetime of service and an ever-present commitment to the betterment of the global community of women. She shared personal anecdotes and professional wisdom. She touched on her trials and her triumphs and, most importantly, she drove home this message: "Never give up. Never, never, never, never, never give up."
Seemingly simple words, but when put into action become precisely what is needed to move mountains.

Big Brother Canada Week 4 Recap: After a Double Eviction, Now What?
Like the majestic oceans around the world, there is an ebb and flow that occurs in a typical season of Big Brother. Each season, it usually doesn't take long for the house to split into two separate factions with a few stragglers floating along in the middle. Somebody from one side will win Head of Household and nominate two players from the other side. The next week somebody from the opposite side will HoH and come looking for payback for the last player that walked out the door. The Big Brother game is a war of attrition that destroys both factions as the weeks move along.
However, this season of Big Brother Canada is one of the rare instances where things broke a bit differently. We got to see what happens if, instead of two sides of the house going to war, the entire house declares war on two people. By the end of a double eviction night on Big Brother Canada, public enemies #1 and #2 were wiped clean out of the game ... but was this the right decision?
Tom was the first one put out of his misery. Tom's Big Brother autopsy will read that he was suffering from a terminal case of the HOH-itis (a disease that occurs when a sitting HoH becomes so mad with power that he/she alienates the house and is sent packing the week after their HoH reign). Liza, who seemed like she would get a second lease on life after Tom's eviction, ended up following him out of the house.
Rather than focus on where Tom and Liza went wrong (If you don't mind, I'm going to skip over talking about Flashgate), I'd prefer to discuss what's ahead for the players still left in the game. For the remaining 10 players, they may feel an initial sigh of relief, but there's no time to pat themselves on the back. The house was so fixated on removing Tom and Liza, but the pair served a very useful purpose. As long as one of the pair remained in the house, they would be the object of everybody's attention in the house. Like a good magic trick, ideally you want everybody looking at where the trick isn't really happening.
Without the nagging threat of worrying about Tom or Liza winning an HoH or a veto, the rest of the house can focus on the real players in the game. Tom served a good purpose for the Quattro alliance while he was in the house because he was out in front taking all of the bullets. Now, Tom, the human shield, won't be around for "The Shield" (Alec and Peter) to throw under the bus anymore.
I worry that the players the most in danger in a post-Tom & Liza world would be Peter and Alec. Alec and Peter were able to operate without heavy suspicions arising from the other houseguests to this point. Now without Tom, the pair is going to be seen as two of the biggest schemers in the house.
If it's not Peter and Alec, the next group in the house with something to worry about are the couples. The showmances, which had existed for several weeks without any threat, could be the next easy targets of the house. By knocking out the two next obvious players for eviction, the upcoming HoH's will need to come up other options -- so don't be surprised to see a Jillian and Emmett nomination or an Alec and Topaz too.
The other pair that could be in trouble is the float-mance of AJ and Andrew. I never think it's a strong move but there have been many an HoH who say that the floaters are the ones that need to put on their vests of the life-preserving kind. Andrew could not have earned too much respect from the other players by becoming HoH without answering a single question correctly, and essentially having it handed to him.
The next week or two is going to be crucial in this game. The next HoH will set the tone of how the rest of the show will play out after big personalities are gone. While it may have felt like killing two birds with one stone, sooner or later these players are going to realize they don't have Tom and Liza around to be persona non grata around the BBCan house.

CHIPS Stories
With the help of his CHIPS mentor, Mr. F has learned to pay his bills online, started online banking, and gets to talk to his family and share family photos daily.
Computers for Homebound & Isolated Persons (CHIPS)
CHIPS provides donated computers to seniors who are isolated by illness or by their role as a full-time caregiver of a homebound senior. The CHIPS program trains and equips homebound and isolated persons who are age 55 and older to use e-mail and the Internet to overcome social isolation, connect with people and resources, assert more control over their own lives, and contribute to their community.
Volunteers install the equipment and serve as mentors to help the participants learn to use and maintain the equipment. Participants learn how to use e-mail, search engines, and safely use the Internet. The use of e-mail is a great way to overcome loneliness by providing a point of contact with friends, family members, and neighbors.
Project LIVE staff members make a home visit to assess each applicant to determine eligibility and identify any special needs for using a computer. Senior Citizens Information & Referral Service takes all requests for CHIPS and gathers basic application information.

Two killed at Kenyan refugee camp riot - U.N.,residents
* Two refugees reported dead, 13 injured
* Somali refugees increase in Kenya, Ethiopia
By Daud Yussuf
GARISSA, Kenya, July 1 (Reuters) - Two people were killed when riots broke out at a refugee camp in north eastern Kenya when authorities sought to demolish temporary housing, a U.N. official and residents said on Friday.
Dadaab, the world's largest refugee camp, hosts 380,000 refugees, with more than 61,000 from Somalia crossing the border into Kenya this year. The influx has caused a heavy strain on limited resources, according to the United Nations High Commission for Refugees.
Matters came to a head on Thursday, when riots erupted in which two people died.
"Rioting broke out when police sought to disperse a crowd that was protesting an attempt to demolish illegal structures around a food distribution point," UNHCR said in a statement.
"Teargas was used, and later live gunshot. Our information is that two refugees were killed and around a dozen injured."
"This incident (riots) is symptomatic of the pressures at the camp amid overcrowding compounded by the very high number of arrivals we have been seeing recently from Somalia," said Adrian Edwards, the UNHCR spokesman. Continued...

Commanders stressed that the delay would be measured in days, not weeks. "We will go to where the enemy is," a senior US official told The New York Times.
Apart from enemy resistance, the elements also continued to conspire against advancing coalition troops. After two days of sandstorms, grinding rain yesterday bogged down infantry and grounded helicopter gunships.
In other developments:
As the campaign to disarm Saddam entered a seventh day, US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld warned that the war was "much closer to the beginning than to the end".
Questioned about claims that Iraqi Republican Guard troops intended to use chemical weapons on US forces advancing on Baghdad, Mr Rumsfeld said this was based on "intelligence scraps".
A former general from the 1991 Gulf War, Tom Rhame, played down the likelihood of chemical weapons being used as the US moved on Baghdad, saying it would be too dangerous for Iraq's troops.

A 19-year-old North Platte man was charged Tuesday with a sexual assault that allegedly happened last summer.
The two were acquainted and formed a closer relationship from around May to July, Brown said.
Following a lengthy investigation, investigators found probable cause to arrest Macias due inappropriate sexual touching and the age difference between the two.
Macias is charged with first-degree sexual assault. He was arrested and jailed Tuesday. He faces up to 50 years in prison if convicted.
To make the charge stick, the state has to prove that the actor subjected the victim to sexual penetration, not intercourse. The issue is whether the defendant achieved even the slightest penetration, according to state statutes.
