Bob's EJ20 GC8 is awesome!!!!
Chris, why didn't you tell me it was drift season already???? I totally forgot!!!!
Jim, I got a text message from you, sorry I did not get back to you, I have been stoopid busy....my guess was that you were calling me from the Drift Out, yes? In that case, my above statement to Chris is voided, and I am an ass for not having a chance to get back to you.
I'll be at the next one for sure....no drifting for me though, I cannot afford to break anything!

While the early Axis label singles had served an important research and development function, the arrival of Rema-Rema provided Ivo with something more important: a reason for continuing. Returning to the shop one afternoon to find five people about to play Peter their demo tape, Ivo was immediately struck by the post-punk quintet's music, later saying, "It was the first point I knew that we were actually doing something serious."Read more

The two hour drive to the market town provided beautiful rice terraced scenery in the high mountains and then, lower down, through the tropical climate zone, acres and acres of banana plantations that covered the mountain sides. It seemed every family was prepping a whole pig for special New Year dinner. Hair was torched and scraped off with knives. Then pig cut from throat to tail, inners gutted, the body chopped with axes and then sliced with knives. Nothing gets wasted. We were welcoming in the 'Year of the 亥 Pig' after all. And no they don't slaughter dragons in the year of the dragon.
This town is Laomeng 老猛 and is the town in the area designated to have the Sunday market.
The town was bustling with colorfully clad Dai, Hani, Miao, Yao, and Yi women buying and selling; Miao in pleated skirts and black wraps on their calves. And the Yao women in black slacks and tunics and elaborate high narrow rectangular hats with hot pink tassels on each side. This was a great blend of local minorities.
Jacky shopped for vegetables for New Year feast his parents were preparing for our special dinner.
Two hours at the market was enough. We were back in Duoyishu village before 3PM.
Dinner was served at 8:00. Guest included:
-- Sho and Tomoko san, a Japanese couple working in M&A for a prominent accounting firm in Shanghai
--a Chinese couple from Shenzhen (didn't speak much English)
--a Philippine couple, Carlo and his wife, (http://www.carloguina.com/photography/china/yuanyang-yunnan-china/ living in Beijing; he is an interior designer and an avid photographer.

FX 120 enclosures for workhorses
Greetings, all.
I am a true neophyte to the world of DIY audio. I have recently become interested in building a set of speakers for no other reason than to save money, and I thought that it would be a fairly simple undertaking. I can honestly say that I had no idea of the intensity, depth and breadth of the information I would encounter. At any rate, I wanted to present my ideas to the gurus here and get some feedback.
The speakers will be true workhorses. They will be part of our family A/V system, and will used for TV, DVDs, CDs, VHS, and even audio cassettes. Our music ranges from Mozart to bluegrass to Boston to Julie Andrews. They'll be attached to a JVC RX-558VBK receiver with a range of 40-20k MHz, and there's no subwoofer for the low ranges. They need to be floorstanding, and will be either against a wall or in a corner; however, their placement will have nothing to do with audio reproduction but will be decided by how my better half decides to arrange the room. They need to be simple to build, and total around $300. A wide field of sound would be nice, but I'm expecting to sacrifice that by going with the full-range drivers.
My first thought was to go with Echo MTM mini-towers from North Creek, but they're designed for use with a sub. After lots of web surfing and forum scouring, I am leaning toward Fostex FX120s in Fonken towers, although I'm wavering on BIBs. I also considered Zigmahorns, but the comments I read on the Fonkens swayed me (plus the Zigs were designed for 103s, not 120s). What I don't know is the difference between the original freestanders and the MkIIs (besides dimensions). The biggest mark against the BIBs is that they're...well...big , and I'm not sure how well received they'd be by my better half.

Mac - contact Dave @ Planet10 regarding the "Fonkenator"* enclosure for FX120.
He's made some changes to the aesthetics/form factor after the pair we built for Jim Rebman's F120As, and I actually haven't got around to building this design yet.

Are you sure you want to go with a full-range design for your primary (and only) sound system, that's going to be used by the whole family for everything from TV to Mozart? Those FX120s have a claimed frequency response down to 70 Hz, but, if you were worried about the Echo's needing a sub, I'd be even more worried about this plan.
The good thing is that you're probably going to want them as up against the wall as you can get them to squeeze out every last drop of room reinforcement. Even guys with huge BIBs still go with subs.
Here's my experience: I built a pair of BIBs with Fe126es that I still have and enjoy on a secondary basis. They don't go low, and they don't sound "right" with the TV. I have a pair of Jordan JX92s in a poor cabinet (my own fault) that sound OK. The treble is beamy. It doesn't make for a very good "ambient" speaker, and you cannot get enough bass out of them to enjoy Boston. I thought I was getting imaging, vocal "purity", blah blah blah blah.
I bought a pair of these off of Craigslist last night for $40:
Just about the unsexiest thing you've ever seen, right? 3 drivers in a monkey coffin. They hadn't been played in 8 years, since the student built them, and have spent their time as end tables.
They completely destroy the Jordans and Fostex's in every area you'd care to mention. Speed, soundstage depth and width, frequency range, smoothness, dispersion, vocal realism, hairs-standing-up factor, you name it. I sat my wife down in front of them and said, "See how it doesn't sound like it's coming from the speakers", and she said, "I was more noticing how it sounds like I'm sitting in front of an orchestra."
They didn't have to "break-in", they didn't have to have BSC applied (of course, they have an extensive crossover network), I didn't have to "get used to all the new sonic information I was now hearing", there was no need to futz with where my head was in the room with regard to bass nulls and the toe-in of the speaker - they just sounded beautiful, everywhere, from the first second they played.
My point is, I've had fun with the fullrange drivers, and I still want to make some different cabinets for the 126e's. However, for primary speakers, where you want to be able to enjoy a decent frequency response and good dispersion, I'd be looking at some 2 way kits or designs (3 ways are probably out of your budget), from ZaphAudio, Parts Express, or Madisound.
Just my uninformed and unsought opinion, of course, but I thought I'd offer my heretical views. I have no direct experience with the FX120s.

If they're going to be family workhorses & you need useful output to 40Hz, you need bigger speakers. A little 'un isn't going to cut it on heavier stuff unless supported by a sub. As you say you have no control over placement, reasonably wide dispersion will probably be necessary (not something larger FR drivers really excel at), so I suggest you take a look at one of Zaph's designs, like his BAMTM in the floorstanding form. http://www.zaphaudio.com/BAMTM.html

Further thoughts?
If you still want to stay in the Fostex family, the FE167E in either a simple MLTL a la Bob Brines or one of Dave's custom Fonken series floorstanders (warning - not the easiest build) , or FF165K in something like the Abby.
Any of the above will certainly have quite an advantage over the FX120 or F120A in terms of sensitivity/dynamics, and low end extension, but perhaps at the premium of low level inner detail.
Of course, optimum performance from the larger drivers will require bigger boxes.

Yeah, I was wondering about those too Chris -it's the possible mid / HF beaming that concened me a bit, given the question mark over room position. Although my 167 MLTLs were pretty forgiving in placement terms, as these things go. Probably not as much as a more conventional multiway, but not bad.
|19th February 2009, 11:25 PM

I have uses 167's all around for my HT for quite a while now. I have the fronts in MLTL's and the surrounds in up-firing BR's. For normal usage which is a lot of music and TV, I set the fronts to large and cross a single sub in at 40Hz. For action DVD's, I'll set the mains to small and bring in the sub at 80Hz. The latter would probably be a good setup for heavy metal, etc. No I don't have a center. More problems than it is worth.

The FX120 in the Fonkenator (another of Chris' stellar working titles -- when we finish getting this design right will be FonkenFX), 1st was the Fonken-steen -- it works well, but it seemed a bit awkward aesthetically, and also told us we could probably go lower, and larger -- enuff to reach the floor. It may end up being a touch big, but it should hit the 40s -- this one is about exploring the limits. With its "monster" 5" cone it is not going to be happy trying to play really loud.
The suggestion of the FE167 is too my mind a good one. More efficient, will move more air, with greater dynamics, but it won't reach as far down in terms of detail. But it does top & mid better than the bigger drivers. Fully treated they don't seem to suffer much from limited sweet spot.
If one wanted both, i'd put FX120 in a suitably sized sealed box, add a push-push pair of woofers under each one, perhaps CSS Trio8, and biamp. The downside is that the budget is now soring.
BTW: Fonkenator is larger than Fonken167 and trickier to build.

I appreciate all of your feedback. ilewis, I'm not sure about anything...that's why I started the thread. I'm glad I did, since I think I was barking up the wrong tree.
Bob, it is your website that firmed up a full range solution in my mind. You make some strong arguments, and I like your KISS philosophy. Apart from any sound quality considerations, the two reasons that I favor a single driver are bang for the buck and simplicity. I don't have to buy or build a crossover; that means more $$ for the drivers and big points in the "simple" category. I had not considered the larger drivers, but after reading all of the replies, I'm definitely interested.
I know that I seemed to indicate otherwise, but nice, full bass is not one of my priorities. My current "system" has zero bass, so any of these setups - even the "little 'uns" - will be a major improvement. However, the comments regarding depth and breadth of soundstage are bothersome. Using the 167s in your HT fronts, how important are speaker placement and seating position to the sound?
And FWIW - it seems to me that if an enclosure design is "a bit awkward aesthetically," then "Fonken-steen" is a rather appropriate name.

Employee identification before and after an internal merger: A longitudinal analysis
Bartels, Jos and Pruyn, Ad and Jong, Menno de (2009) Employee identification before and after an internal merger: A longitudinal analysis. Journal of occupational and organizational psychology, 82 (1). pp. 113-128. ISSN 0963-1798
Restricted to UT campus only : Request a copy
|Earlier studies have shown that perceived external prestige (PEP) and communication climate influence employees' overall organizational identification. This paper presents the results of a longitudinal study into the determinants of organizational identification at two organizational levels during an internal merger. Data were collected in a university where four divisions merged into two new divisions. Respondents filled out a questionnaire on organizational identification, PEP and communication climate 4 months before the merger (T1) and 2 years after the merger (T2). Results indicate that pre-merger identification primarily influences post-merger identification at the same organizational level. Furthermore, the determinants of employees' overall organizational identification differ from the determinants of employees' division identification. Internal communication climate is particularly important for employees' identification with their division. PEP affects employees' identification with the overall organization. Management implications are discussed for monitoring employee identification both in times of (internal) mergers and in general.

The Huffington Post has an article about comedian Amy Schumer and her recent appearance on The Howard Stern Show. During the appearance, Schumer revealed that she recently broke up with Dolph Ziggler because the sex was too much.
"The sex was too athletic," Schumer revealed. "Always. [But] the first time, I was like, 'Oh, this is cool. Nobody's ever ragdolled me.' He was spinning me like a Globetrotter."

My personal favorite is Giants 3B coach Tim Flannery, whose music has taken on a vaguely "Americana" tone lately, though his Irish heritage is a big influence. Another journalistic reference for me- I've interviewed him twice, once for a music article and once for a baseball one. He's a fine singer and musician (and Jackson Browne's his old surfing buddy, apparently).
Who else is there?
Barry Zito - guitarist, musical family- sister Sally Zito's a good piano-based singer-songwriter
Bronson Arroyo - grunge guitarist/singer
Jake Peavy's a guitarist too, I believe. Don't know what his music's like. Seems like it's mostly pitchers.
There's also tons of ex-players- Scott Radinsky's a punk rocker, Bernie Williams has guitar albums out, Jack McDowell had a decent alternative band for a while. Who else? Is a complete list possible?

Yikes. I'll look in to a better battery for the sump pump and maybe a portable generator for the house. You are right though, the damage and time spent on the clean up may make it worth the investment.
Printable View
A decent 5000+ watt portable will run $500 and up. A Honda, while very quiet in comparison to most can hit $1000.
Both the portable and the automatic backup Gens have their advantages and disadvantages. For something like what Sandy caused, the portable is most likely the better option. However, it won't be useable "during" the storm under most cases.
For those in the more remote places where outages are more common, the automatic backup would probably be better. Power will remain on no matter what. You pay extra for the lack of interruption.

To heat or to eat? Britain in court on fuel poverty
Mary Phillips, a 72-year-old British pensioner, says she often escapes the cold of her council flat and the dread of unaffordable fuel bills by taking refuge in her centrally-heated local library.
But this week, she took her sofa to the streets outside the High Court to try to force the British government to do more for people like her who are being forced into an often fatal choice between heating and eating.
Wearing fluffy boots, wrapped in blankets and a dressing gown, and clutching a hot water bottle to her chest, she posed as a symbol of the some 25,000 elderly people who will die of the cold in Britain this winter.
Data collated by a lobby group, National Energy Action, show that despite a relatively mild climate, 19 per cent more people in England die in winter than in other seasons, compared with 10 per cent in Finland, 11 per cent in Germany and 12 per cent in Denmark.
"Fuel poverty" - a phenomenon that has crept into the lower income brackets of British society in recent years - is now at the top of the political agenda, with energy prices soaring and incomes under pressure as the economy buckles under the credit crunch.
Charities say five million people in Britain will struggle to heat their homes this winter, and this week they took the government to the High Court to explain why it is not doing more to help them.
A household in "fuel poverty" is defined as one that spends 10 per cent or more of its annual income on gas and electricity, and the government has promised to do everything "reasonably practicable" to end it in vulnerable households by 2010.
"It's not all older people, but our estimates are that about one in four people aged 60 and over are living in fuel poverty," said Paul Bates, a spokesman for the Help the Aged charity, which launched the court action with environmental campaign group Friends of the Earth.
"The most vulnerable people in our society are really struggling. The basics of life are prohibitively expensive."
Fuel poverty is unique because it is the only poverty measure that the British government has pledged by law to tackle. Even the eradication of child poverty - one of Prime Minister Gordon Brown's oft-stated aspirations - is not a goal supported by legislation.
The government admits it is struggling to meet its own target - putting it at risk of losing the High Court case and being forced into a judicial review of its policy decisions - but says factors beyond its control are compounding the problem.
"This government is still committed to tackling fuel poverty, but ... sharply rising energy prices have made this goal increasingly difficult," Environment Minister Hilary Benn said in a statement.
According to government figures, the overall cost of energy to domestic consumers rose by 22 per cent in real terms between 2005 and 2006, and prices have jumped yet more dramatically since then with global oil prices reaching record highs.
Ms Benn said the government had spent £20 billion on the problem since 2000 and would continue to urge energy suppliers and insulation firms to help improve energy efficiency in homes.
Gas and electricity suppliers have been sharply criticised in Britain for raking in huge profits and imposing sharp price rises on customers already struggling with inflation rates of more than four per cent on other consumer goods.
The government announced an energy efficiency package in September which included £910 million of extra cash from the utilities to help householders facing soaring bills to make their homes more energy-efficient.
But for Mary Phillips, the government's promises and pledges are not enough. Her sums still don't add up.
Living alone on a council estate in southeast London, she has an income of £148 per week. On top of housing service charges of £7.30 per week, her weekly gas bill is £9 and her electricity costs more than £4, but she is still reduced to shivering at home or finding refuge in warmer public buildings.
"Every day I have to think if I can possibly afford to put the heating on," she said in an interview.
"I always wear extra clothes, and I try never to put the heating on in the middle of the day, and at night I wear a bed jacket and bed socks rather than have the heating on.
"I often go to the local library and sit in there, because it's warmer, and I also have a hot water bottle which I use as an extra source of heat."
Campaigners say proof that government action is inadequate lies in a grim set of figures released by the Office for National Statistics each year detailing a phenomenon called "excess winter deaths" - the number of older (over 60s) people who die from cold-related illness in the winter.
Over the past decade, it has averaged around 25,000 - a figure that remained high throughout the economic boom that preceded the recent downturn, and has failed to budge despite headline-grabbing government initiatives such as one-off winter fuel payments to the elderly and a £74 million "Warm Front" scheme to improve home insulation.
And, campaigners point out, it is a statistic which is all the more telling because Britain's winter temperatures are relatively kind compared with those of northerly neighbours.
"It is totally unacceptable," said Mr Bates. "People should not be dying of the cold in this day and age in a country as rich as the UK. It's not even very cold here. If you look at places like Scandinavia where the weather is much colder, the concept of excess winter deaths is virtually unheard of."
Fuel poverty in Britain
A household is deemed to be in "fuel poverty" when it needs to spend more than 10 per cent of its income on fuel in order to heat its home to an adequate temperature.
• The Labour government introduced legislation in 2000, the Warm Homes and Energy Conservation Act, which stated its intention to do everything "reasonably practicable" to end fuel poverty in vulnerable households by 2010 and in all households by 2016.
• Campaigners for the elderly and for the environment estimate that in 2008 there are at least five million households in fuel poverty across Britain.
• Some 25,000 people die in Britain each year from cold-related illnesses, according to the Office for National Statistics.
• The government says it has spent some £20 billion on tackling fuel poverty since 2000.
• Latest government figures show there were 3.5 million households living in fuel poverty in 2006, an increase of one million since 2005.
• Lawyers acting for the government in the High Court said that dramatic increases in energy prices - a factor which they said was "outside the government's direct control" - have caused "a significant rise in numbers of households in fuel poverty" in recent years.

People who have had a blood transfusion before 1991, kidney dialysis, surgery or dental treatment in countries with high infection rates, or experimented with injecting drugs earlier in life are among those to be targeted under a strategy for tackling the disease in England recommended by a government advisory group yesterday.
Ministers will establish clinics where people who might unknowingly carry the disease can be screened, and step up testing in drug treatment centres and prisons. The virus, identified in the 1980s, is diagnosed in more English people than HIV, but infection is curable, with up to half those given medication being cleared. Lifestyle changes, such as cutting alcohol consumption, also help people live with the infection.
So far 26,500 people in England have been diagnosed, but only an estimated one in 10 of those carrying the virus is identified, so the government might be facing a public health timebomb, with untold misery for patients and a financial crisis for the NHS. Already 100 people a year are dying from hepatitis C infection and the virus is often a factor in cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancers which kill 5,000 people a year.
Some health campaigners want an advertising campaign like that which accompanied the Aids outbreak in the 1980s. Others think a "non-alarmist" public education campaign through GP surgeries, schools and other less official channels might be enough to help identify up to 200,000 people who do not know they are infected. Just over £1m has been set aside for publicity.
Blood services have screened for hepatitis C since 1991 and told donors why their blood is being rejected. Thousands of haemophiliacs were infected before anti-viral treatments were introduced in 1984. But many people in risk categories might be reluctant to go to clinics treating drug addiction or sexually transmitted diseases.
The most common way of catching the virus is injecting drugs with contaminated equipment, although it can be sexually transmitted, passed from mother to baby and spread through shared toothbrushes or shavers. The infection cannot be spread through normal everyday contact.
For every 100 people infected, 20 will clear the virus from their body naturally within six months. Of the 80 left, a quarter will never show liver damage or physical symptoms. The remaining 60, however, may experience weight loss, muscle aches, depression, nausea or liver disease. Of those, 16 will develop cirrhosis over 20 years, and one or two of them will then contract liver cancer. People over 40 when first infected develop disease more quickly.
Pat Troop, the deputy chief medical officer, said: "It is essential we intensify our efforts to prevent new cases and to diagnose and treat those who are already infected."
· The government is to offer thousands of women testing for chlamydia, a sexually transmitted disease which often has no symptoms but which can lead to inflammation of the pelvis and infertility. New diagnoses in women rose by 10% last year.

Coffee shops are a great venue to meet women, as they usually have a less noisy atmosphere than a bar. Women generally find it refreshing to be approached by a man in a coffee shop rather than a bar, and also may be looking for an excuse to take a break from their tedious studies or work. Join Savoy and Rio in this routine-heavy interview as they reveal the most effective ways to approach and build attraction in a coffee shop setting.
Some of the questions answered on this interview are:

Q&A: Yuri Barashian!
By Alexey Potapov
Former world title challenger and European champion Yuri Barashian (25-4, 17 KOs) is set to challenge WBO light heavyweight champion Zsolt Erdei (29-0, 17 KOs) at the Bordelandhalle, in Magdeburg, Germany. A few days before the fight, the Ukrainian boxer has given an exclusive interview to Fightnews.com.
Hello, Yuri! How do you feel?
Hello, Alex! I feel very well.
Everyone is celebrating New Year's Day and Christmas. You're preparing for a fight on January 10th and have probably have lost the holidays?
Yes, but for me on January 10th I fight for the rank of the world champion. That's all I think of.
You didn't even drink some champagne?
No, not any alcohol! All is very serious.
Many experts have been surprised that after you the lost championship fight against Hugo Hernan Garay, the following fight you again will fight for a world title. You expected such a succession of events?
No, I too have been surprised. They offered me a fight against Erdei and I decided to run the risk and I agreed. After all, to become the world champion is what each boxer wants. Me too. On November 22nd I should have boxed, but that fight fell through. I don't know why. So I'm glad that one more possibility to become the world champion was presented to me.
The your last fight against Hugo Hernan Garay you feel you had not lost deservedly?
Yes, the decision was an injustice. But I perfectly understood that in Argentina it would be impossible to extract a victory on points. Therefore I was focused on a victory by a knockout. I managed to shake Garay sometimes, but on his side there was even a referee of the fight who two times failed to credit me with a true knockdown and allowed him time to recover. But I have already forgotten that fight. Now I think only about Zsolt Erdei. I wish to be rehabilitated.
But Hugo Hernan Garay has changed. He fought well in his last bout against Juergen Braehmer in Germany. Personally I very attentively observed that fight. And to my surprise recognized that the Argentinean champion did not fight untidily.
He fought well, but Juergen Braehmer is not the strongest boxer though his promoter brought him a championship fight. It was clear that Garay is stronger.
Do you hope for a rematch with Garay?
Yes, I want it. We need to fight not in Argentina but in a neutral territory with objective refereeing. But now I need to beat Erdei.
What do you know about Zsolt Erdei?
He's very strong boxer, has not lost any fights, had a good amateur career, bronze medalist of the Olympic games. Very strong opponent. It'll be a good fight. I think that against me he will operate as always – in defensive/aggressive style. I am ready for it. I have thoroughly studied him and I have prepared some gifts for him for Christmas.
You are focused on getting a win by knockout or you think you can win a decision?
It would be desirable that officiating was fair. I will not rush at once on him in the first round. I have specific tactics which I will execute in the ring. But I will use any possibility.
How was your preparation for the fight?
I prepared in Ukraine. In the city of Kharkiv. I have already been in the training process for a long time. At first I should leave in a ring on October, 18th, then on November, 22nd. I hope that on January, 10th I will fight all the same. As a whole I am happy with the preparation. All is good.
Is it possible to say that this will be the defining fight in your career?
No, for me each fight is important.
Thanks for the interview
And thank you. Taking an opportunity, I wish to say to readers of Fightnews.com Happy New Year and Christmas.

The Adventures of Ferdinand Count Fathom HTML version
Chapter 4
His Mother's Prowess And Death; Together With Some Instances Of His Own
It would have been impossible for the mother of our adventurer, such as she hath
been described, to sit quietly in her tent, while such an heroic scene was acting.
She was no sooner apprised of the general's intention to attack the enemy, than
she, as usual, packed up her moveables in a waggon, which she committed to
the care of a peasant in the neighbourhood, and put herself in motion with the
troops; big with the expectation of re-acting that part in which she had formerly
acquitted herself so much to her advantage.--Nay, she by this time looked upon
her own presence as a certain omen of success to the cause which she
espoused; and, in their march to battle, actually encouraged the ranks with
repeated declarations, importing, that she had been eye-witness of ten decisive
engagements, in all of which her friends had been victorious, and imputing such
uncommon good fortune to some supernatural quality inherent in her person.
Whether or not this confidence contributed to the fortune of the day, by inspiring
the soldiers to an uncommon pitch of courage and resolution, I shall not pretend
to determine. But, certain it is, the victory began from that quarter in which she
had posted herself; and no corps in the army behaved with such intrepidity as
that which was manifested by those who were favoured with her admonitions and
example; for she not only exposed her person to the enemy's fire, with the
indifference and deliberation of a veteran, but she is said to have achieved a very
conspicuous exploit by the prowess of her single arm. The extremity of the line to
which she had attached herself, being assaulted in flank by a body of the spahis,
wheeled about, in order to sustain the charge, and received them with such a
seasonable fire, as brought a great number of turbans to the ground; among
those who fell, was one of the chiefs or agas, who had advanced before the rest,
with a view to signalise his valour.
Our English Penthesilea no sooner saw this Turkish leader drop, than, struck
with the magnificence of his own and horse's trappings, she sprung forward to
seize them as her prize, and found the aga not dead, though in a good measure
disabled by his misfortune, which was entirely owing to the weight of his horse,
that, having been killed by a musket-ball, lay upon his leg, so that he could not
disengage himself. Nevertheless, perceiving the virago approach with fell intent,
he brandished his symitar, and tried to intimidate his assailant with a most
horrible exclamation; but it was not the dismal yell of a dismounted cavalier,
though enforced with a hideous ferocity of countenance, and the menacing
gestures with which he waited her approach, that could intimidate such an
undaunted she-campaigner; she saw him writhing in the agonies of a situation
from which he could not move; and, running towards him with the nimbleness
and intrepidity of a Camilla, described a semicircle in the progress of her assault,
and attacking him on one side, plunged her well-tried dagger in his throat. The
shades of death encompassed him, his life-blood issued at the wound, he fell
prone upon the earth, he bit the dust, and having thrice invoked the name of
Allah! straight expired.

The Eurofighter is a beautiful aircraft, perfectly designed for air-to-air combat or to attack tanks and military installations on the ground. But the conflicts it was designed for are not those now being fought. Other than as an overpriced bomb truck, it is almost useless for the insurgent conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Eurofighter is obsolete even as it enters service.
Conventional embassies and their ambassadors are equally ill-suited to today's challenges. The European foreign service, whose embryonic form already exists in the Council Secretariat, is awaiting its first orders once the EU's Lisbon treaty is ratified. Like the Eurofighter, it will be elegantly constructed, very expensive, and heading for obsolescence even before day one.
Just like weapons designers, those who construct political bureaucracies and institutions must ask what kind of world are we trying to deal with? The 20th century was dominated by states, but this century is already shaping up with an altogether more anarchic prospect.
Non-state groups dominate military conflicts, with over 80% of the conflicts now before the UN Security Council involving non-state actors. Al Qaeda is the primary concern of security experts, rather than hostile tanks or nuclear missiles. In the field of development policy, philanthropic foundations are putting unprecedentedly large resources into such efforts as to end malaria, almost rivaling the aid flows of governments. George Soros's Open Society Institute has in my view been as important as the European Union in fostering civil society and building the pillars of democracy in post-Soviet eastern Europe. The private sector's foreign direct investment and speculative flows outweigh both official and philanthropic funds, in determining the economic fate of countries. In global politics, non-governmental movements and influentlial figureheads like Bono are proving almost, although not yet wholly, as important as governments, and according to surveys, are already more trusted.
Given the familiar nature of this analysis, it is surprising that culturally there is still a pervasive belief that it is governments, with their diplomats and embassies that will sort out the world. It is curious that even global campaigning organisations, like Live8 or Greenpeace, still see governments as the objects of their activism. "End debt" text messages campaigns have told G-8 leaders, but in truth the means to affect the world's affairs are slipping from the governments' hands. Take any global problem from the oil price to migration to climate change and it is clear that governments have less power than before to address them.
When I was a diplomat in the 1990s and the early years of this century, I found that the methods of conventional diplomacy seemed almost deliberately constructed to separate the diplomat from reality – and also from the people diplomats claim to represent. By and large, diplomats speak to other diplomats. And thanks to ballooning bureaucracy, email, and security constraints, they are more and more confined to their embassies, dealing with the real world by computer and telephone rather than directly. Most foreign services are still horribly hierarchical, with the grey heads at the top and most of the energy and ideas ignored at the bottom. Few such institutions make the necessary effort (and it takes an effort) to encourage innovative and contrary thinking. Many of the diplomats I know feel frustrated and stultified by mounting bureaucracy, and some will admit to a creeping feeling of irrelevance. This wasn't what they signed up for.
In democratic terms, the actions and the views of diplomats are only tenuously connected to those people whom they allegedly represent. I found it ludicrous to pretend in negotiations that my views, which had in fact been invented by a small group of officials like myself, truly represented those of my whole country. This problem will of course be aggravated for the European foreign service (or European External Action Service, to give it its dreadful full name). As for accountability, one reason why governments are so little trusted is because its officials seem never to take responsibility for the failures they perpetrate in their country's name – and in recent years there have been many. Diplomatic colleagues regarded it as naïve to believe that somehow they personally were morally responsible for actions they undertook on behalf of their government. This sort of raison d'état may have convinced earlier generations, but when I talk to the so-called Millennial generation born after 1980, they are far from impressed. Less loyal to the nation state than previous generations, they are equally sceptical of the diplomat's hitherto unquestioned claim – and somewhat snobbish assumption – to represent them.
In short, the good old days of an ambassador are over. Diplomats are going to have to work harder to be relevant and respected in this new world. In an anarchic world, influence in shaping events is going to go to those with the most convincing arguments and the most power, and they are not necessarily going to be working in government. Governments may still legislate the laws that govern their countries and, to a lesser extent, the globe, but these laws will reflect norms and values instituted and led by others, and only some of the time will these leaders be governments themselves.
I think this is a very exciting prospect, if slightly scary. A world without automatic deference to governments and their diplomats will be a better one. Forcing our traditional élites to get down and dirty on the ground with the people will improve their ideas, and will also make it more fun to be a diplomat. Foreign services will have to become much more eclectic and less hierarchical if they are to generate the kind of creativity needed to keep up with and even lead, an eclectic and non-hierarchical world. In some cases, this is beginning to happen. But in most, I fear it is not.
At root, a more fundamental reappraisal of the means of diplomacy is required. The traditional function of communicator and negotiator with other governments will remain, but should no longer be treated as the dominant or sole function to which all other functions are subordinated. Embassies and diplomats are going to have to work in partnership with (that means not patronise) a much wider range of actors if they are to understand what is going on around them, and influence this hectic circus. At the Bali climate change talks NGOs were an important and powerful presence, and their involvement in international deliberations of this kind will clearly become the norm rather than the exception.
So-called (and ill-named) "public diplomacy" has always been the poorer cousin of the self-regarding hard-core "real" diplomats who do the important stuff like negotiate treaties and start wars. For some reason, diplomats and governments have believed that somehow the message about the role of governments can be separated in the public's mind from what they actually do. The Bush administration's pathetic public diplomacy efforts during its global war on terror illustrates the dangers of believing that you can separate a country's public messaging from perceptions of its actual behaviour. People in the Middle East found it difficult to accept the Bush Administration's proclamations of its commitment to democracy and human rights while politically the US busily hopped into bed with virtually every non-democratic and human rights-abusing tyranny in the region. It is time to abandon the notion of public diplomacy altogether, and replace it with a more interactive and frankly humble approach.
I do not mean by this that foreign ministers or ambassadors should start blogging, but rather that if they are to shape public opinion in other countries or even globally they will need to take a much more sophisticated approach than paying for quasi-corporate PR. The internet brings with it the likelihood of an immediate chorus of voices to disprove overly extravagant claims or political hypocrisies. This means that governments will increasingly be judged by their actions and not by how they themselves describe them. This is a wholly positive development for those who want more accountability, but it requires governments and diplomats at last to realise that no one believes you unless you practice what you preach. As in all good theatre, showing is telling. Diplomats should by all means communicate their government's message, but must be aware that thanks to generational changes and new technology the scepticism with which that message will be greeted has never been greater. To those who are smart, of course, this is as much an opportunity as a challenge. We the public must now beware of governments which just like commercial corporations infiltrate their messages into otherwise innocent soap operas, chat-rooms or movie scripts.
The world is increasingly complicated, fluidly dynamic and, to be honest, resistant to comprehensive analysis. As more and more people live away from countries of their birth, and more still assume multi-cultural identities, I find it less and less convincing that national governments, and thus national diplomats, can legitimately claim to speak for and act on behalf of such heterogeneity. This doubt is even greater in the case an aggregate of national governments like the EU. That diplomats are declining in importance is, I believe, inevitable. Acceptance of this truth is – paradoxically – the only path to relevance for modern diplomats: to be primary no longer but only one among many is an exciting challenge as much as a burden. Success will go to those who use mass networks effectively, build coalitions of states and concerned non-state actors, corporations and NGOs and can credibly lead opinion.

So I'm wondering if anyone here in the area know of some reputable shops that can make my WRB perfect again. I recently had some paintless dent removal work done but because of the location and complexity of the dent the area is all cracked and etc. The location is on the quarter panel right below the small window on the hatch. I would assume the shop would need to sand the area, do minimal filling (if any) and paint to blend. The quarter sized damage is the only flaw so i don't know if a shop can part small areas.
Any ideas, recommendations, or past experiences?

Web browser competition is a good thing; competing browsers mean companies are challenging their rivals with new and exciting features, a better user experience, and faster browsing. On the Android phone, we've only had the passable Android and Opera browsers – until now. The 2.0 version of the free SkyFire browser means war.
SkyFire delivers the basics — plus more. The menu bar at the top features the familiar back button and bookmarks, but also includes a toggle to switch between mobile and desktop views of websites, and lets you use tabs, and the browsing is fast. I didn't clock the comparison between browsing the standard Android browser and SkyFire, but SkyFire was just as fast — if not faster.
Love video? SkyFire touts their video playback and in my testing on a Nexus One, the app showed the developers can back up the boasting. I browsed the New York Times website to play the latest David Pogue technology review video. It played smoothly on SkyFire, but wouldn't play at all with the standard Android browser.
SkyFire aims to connect you to interesting websites. It offers a pick-list of featured sites on the main screen, so you can jump with just one tap. It also features an innovative "Explore" option that scans the current page for keywords, then brings up the latest trending postings, tweets, and videos on those topics. Share to Facebook, Twitter, and email with a single tap.
I was impressed by SkyFire and will be using it while out and about to get some good use out of it's cool features. Hopefully, the other browser companies out there are also checking it out.

IQ Massager IQ Massager is a rip off don't buy Las Vegas Nevada
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
I bought an IQ massager at a trade show in Las Vegas or $175. The day after I got home i received a groupon deal for the same IQ Massager or $39. First of all, I was high pressure sold by a person who did not speak very good english but I bought anyway, thats my fault. I was told these were professsional medical massagers and sold for $300 all lies. These are consumer units and sell for $39. I called the company back and only way I got to speak with someone was to tell them I wanted to buy more. I asked or a refund or the differnce in price but was told screw you.
Do not buy this item at a show because they are not medical grade which was a lie, they are not $300 another lie and you can find these machines all over for a lot less than I paid for it. I feel like a fool.

Bend driver arrested in DUII SUV-bicycle crash
Cyclist in critical condition; suspect posts bail, out of jail
BEND, - A Bend woman was arrested early Monday on DUII, assault and other charges after her SUV struck and critically injured a bicyclist at a northeast Bend intersection, police said.
Erin Michelle Fast, 24, was driving an Isuzu Trooper eastbound on NE Revere Avenue shortly after midnight when she struck a bicycle ridden by Robert Sean Kahl, 40, also of Bend, in the intersection at Division Street, said Lt. Nick Parker.
Deschutes County Jail records indicated Fast's initial charges, pending arraignment, included DUII, two counts of second-degree assault, two counts of third-degree assault, reckless driving and recklessly endangering.
Initial bail totaled $65,000, but Circuit Judge Stephen Forte reduced Fast's bail to $50,000 at her initial court appearance by video Monday afternoon. She later posted 10 percent of that amount and was released on bail, pending her next court appearance on May 27th, a jail officer said.
The crash investigation and accident reconstruction closed the intersection and the Revere Avenue off-ramp from the northbound Bend Parkway for several hours. It was reopened around 5 a.m., Parker said.
We'll have a full report tonight on NewsChannel 21 at Five and Six.

The Institute for Music in Human and Social Development (IMHSD) explores the complex, powerful role of music in human experience. Established in 2005, we aim to promote the scientific understanding and practical application of music as a therapeutic, educational, artistic and social tool.
Our work investigates the complexities of human musicality, musical intelligence and musical communication, offering unique insights into the nature of the human condition and our relationship with society. We draw on research, theory and practice across a range of disciplines, including psychology, medicine, neuroscience, informatics, physics, sociology, linguistics, education and philosophy.
Our team
The IMHSD comprises a multidisciplinary team of researchers with expertise in music performance, music informatics, musical acoustics, the psychology and neuroscience of music, composition, community music, music and disability and orchestral outreach work. Our members have conducted pioneering work in the use of music in therapy and social reconstruction in zones of conflict, such as the Balkans, Caucasus and the Middle East.
We aim to be an active partner in the implementation of therapeutic, educational and social development programmes related to music, supporting the development of methodologies for intervention in these areas. We have strong community links with orchestras, schools, hospitals, prisons, NGOs and local authorities.
The Institute was established by Director, Dr Katie Overy, in collaboration with Professors Nigel Osborne and Peter Nelson.
Our activities
The Institute holds regular events bringing together stakeholders from a range of backgrounds and disciplines. These are organised around original themes of shared interest, taking in topics such as 'Interactive Minds', 'Music and Medicine', 'Rhythm, Time and Temporal Processing' and 'Music, Language and Movement'.
Innovative collaborations include the design of a new musical instrument, the Skoog, for people with severe movement difficulties, and the exploration of the potential of singing to facilitate foreign language learning.
We support postgraduate research students in a range of unique, interdisciplinary studies.

DG4259/295013 Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses complement your look with an accessory that is a cut above the rest. True to the Edel-Optics motto "SEE AND BE SEEN", you are on a par with celebrities, impressing in every environment. The DG4259 is available in the Edel-Optics online shop in other styles from Dolce & Gabbana collections 2015 and 2016.
This frame was specially designed for genuine power women. Graceful design and expressiveness are interspersed with classical chic. Eyewear is in. Full rim is extremely popular, because you feel that you get more eyeglass for your money. It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. For angular facial features, round eyeglasses are particularly suitable. The edgeless shape softly contrasts sharp contours. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The DG4259 is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Whether in summer or in winter - the colour yellow always puts you in a good mood! With this colour your glasses will not only catch the eye, but you will also be a trendsetter. Brown is the dominant colour for sunglass lenses. They radiate warmth and look very soft. Functionally, you are, of course, on the safe side, too. With 100% UV eye protection, the sun can immediately start shining.
The respective lenses are also available in your prescription strength. Our digital dispensing optician will help you find the cheapest option.
The next shipment is on its way, so we will have your Dolce & Gabbana back in stock very soon. We hope the unbelievably low price will be a consolation for the short wait. If you buy at Edel-Optics you get the best price, because "in the sale" is our standard.
