Well that article takes out of context Pat Buchanan's comments which were related to negotiations and specifically with the Palestinian Arabs, and to Bush's Hitler comments.
However manipulating history to score political points, is tantamount to lying against an injured party. In this case the Poles. Buchanan is a chickenshit historian and a second rate politician. He should apologies to Poland for his outburst, or be made to suffer the political consequences.
(And this is not a statement to support Bush, who I consider in every way possible even a greater abuser of history than Buchanan. The only excuse Bush has is that he's a bloody chimpanzee, and so just being able to utter a few phrases is impressive indeed.)

This Buchanan must be a nazi in disguise. Why is it that everyone wants to blame ethnic poles for everything (WW2, anti-semitism, nazi collaboration, all lies)? Are we too nice, quiet, and civilized? Maybe we should start acting just like the black community and start major riots in order to send the message across.

I think we should just laugh it off, You know the old saying; the best revenge is SUCCESS.
No matter what anyone says or tries to manipulate,
History is history, the ones that are educated and have some sort of common sence will be able to dicifer the B.S from the truth
and as for the others; well lets just say, one cannot stop shit from smelling.

ALl the politicians are sucking up to the Jewish Lobby. They are saying what they think AIPAC want to hear. It's all becoming one sick joke. No wonder McCain is trying to put some distance between his campaign and the Lobby.
Yeah I agree, this is looks like a certifiable nutter ready for the can.

When it comes to history, it might be best to put blame aside, and simply study the causes and consequences of disasters, so as to avoid similar disasters in the future.(We already do this in the natural sciences - instead of blaming the rain god for the bad weather).
The two world wars were disasters for most of the concerned parties,(the main exception being the United States which benefited mightily from both; Poland, it must be said, suffered more than most). Therefore, they need to be studied and analyzed dispassionately - so that we can avoid a repeat.(Cynics would say - so we can find out how to benefit mightily from a repeat...)
Blaming Germany or Poland or Britain or 'the Jews' or 'Hitler'- doesn't get us anywhere - just as blaming the water or the winds for a tsunami is rather pointless. Such moralizing tends to create ill-will without actually increasing our understanding.
Challenges to the standard view should be welcomed to the extent that they increase our understanding of the event, rather than just shifting blame.
To this end, an interesting article on the subject of wars and imperial collapse is the following:
How Empires Fall
Another, rather long one is:
Military or Market-Driven Empire Building: 1950-2008
I hope you find them as enlightening as I did.

I took time to read both articles. I sincerely disencourage anyone else who'd wish to, unless one's interested in studying the ways psyops operate.(Psyops - psychological operations, formerly plain propaganda). Or to put it in a more straightforward manner - under the disguise of a science as neutral as meteorology we receive the fully blossomed flower of anti-Western propaganda in the twisted history sauce.
And here's a little example of taste bouquet being served
'It was Churchill, not Hitler, who first targeted civilian populations in World War II and caused the structure of civilized warfare to collapse in ruins.
The Americans quickly adopted Churchills criminal policy of attacking civilians'
No, thanks - chef!

Arindam is no Arab. He's Indian and an old buddy of mine. Before you start dismissing him, his efforts are only to show you the otherside of the coin. He's not saying its better or worse, but only saying that the alternative view needs to be considered ... and in doing so you get a fuller understanding of the picture.
Rightly enough, this involves a little thinking and that can be painful of a blog like this where knee jerk responses and flaming are usually the menu du jour.
But from time to time it is therepeutic and even tasty, and todays recommendeation.
Poland is not holy, neither is America, neither are the Jews and most certainly not Soviet Russia. However bring them all together, and then your cooking! But it takes a far more sophisticated chef than the one PfW envisaged!

We're not talking Arindam, we're talking the links he recommended. HT, I don't see much of 'other side of coin' news in there. Always the same anti- West, anti-American, stuff I read so many times it bores me to death. And I don't see how reading such c.... as:
'It was Churchill, not Hitler, who first targeted civilian populations in World War II and caused the structure of civilized warfare to collapse in ruins.
The Americans quickly adopted Churchills criminal policy of attacking civilians'
may serve the fuller understanding of the picture. Or did you mean picture of a twisted history.
Sorry, Arindan. I appreciate your effort to rise the level of this place anyway.

To be honest, I'll need to go back later to read the articles properly. There is no doubt that both Germany and Russia targeted civilians before Churchill, because they were that way inclined and because they got going earlier.
The statement no doubt refers to Churchills carpet bombing of the German mainland which was brutal no two ways about it. However, this was the only option available to both the Brits and the Americans as they did not have any other military capability ready to create the second front. And it was helpful at least in damaging some munitions factories and destroying the German spirit to fight.
I do agree that after further analysis, the conclusions remain the same more or less.
And secondly the topic is purely modern day, about the attitude of the American politicians towars very current situations. And so articles like these whilst interesting within themselves, actually hinder rather than aid understanding.

Getting back to Pat Buchanan.
Buchanan being part German and a right-winger has taken the Nazi German-centric viewpoint that Germany had some kind of right to a corridor (and territory) to the German population in Danzig (today's Gdansk). That was the reason for part of Hitler's b*tching about Poland.
That's surpising coming from someone who is very against multiculturalism. Most Europeans assimilate into another European nation but these Germans just became an ethnic enclave not to mention the fact that they illegally were there in the first place.
These Germans were there because they were pushed into that area against the will of the Poles when Germany occupied that area of Poland, when Poland did not exist during the 123 years before 1917.
I thought Buchanan was against ethnic enclaves that don't assimilate in a country.
I wonder if Buchanan thinks that Russia should have a corridor to its Russian population in Ukraine, Estonia and Latvia or that China should have a corridor to its Chinese populations in Russia OR that Mexico should have a corridor to its Mexican population in California and therefore anex and control California.
Although Nazis have always felt the German corridor issue was a legitimate reason to attack Poland, everyone knew that the Germans had plans to enslave all of Poland and Eastern Europe. So corridor issue or not, Poland was going to be destroyed by the same country that partly destroyed it for 123 years prior.
So World War II was coming no matter what. It was just a matter of when.

I totally agree with your statement and in the other Bush/Hitler/Buchanan thread I did mention the chicken shit politician playing up to a known audience which was in Pitsburgh from memory, and that is a German enclave as you of all people very well know.
Anyway, I've had my suspicions about this guy for a while without delving deeply into the crap he has written about, and know I am pleased the prick has openly verified it. The only redeeming factor is that he was speaking out against Bush....

There is a "hidden" epidemic in the USA. It's not hard drugs or pot, it's alcohol abuse. We're going back to the 50's in booze, despite all the drunk driving campaigns.

People divided over the fate of the Drake Power Plant
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The fate of the Martin Drake Power Plant is up in the air.
People from all over El Paso County voiced their concerns at a panel discussion Thursday.
Leslie Weise wants to open a business in Colorado Springs. The fire at the Drake Power Plant on May 5 is one she will not forget.
"I happen to be inside my sister's building that morning and was there to see the fear of everyone and all the employees. There is a very serious safety risk keeping that plant open in the middle of the city," she said.
Sam Macias is a customer of Colorado Springs Utilities. He said the power plant needs to close permanently and Colorado Springs Utilities should use a different source of energy.
"Let's close it down and move to cleaner sources like natural gas and renewable energy like solar and wind," he said.
Dan Malinaric is managing director of the Colorado Springs Operations at Atmel Corporation, a semiconductor manufacturing company. He was also part of the panel. He said since June 1 electric rates went up 17 percent because of the Drake Power Plant closing.
Colorado Springs Utilities board member Andy Pico said closing down the plant permanently would be costly.
"To build a new power plant we're talking about half a billion dollars to build a new plant at some place to pick up that kind of generation capacity you need," he said.
Dick Standaert lives in Colorado Springs. He said even though the Drake Power Plant is damaged, it doesn't make it useless.
"It maintains our electricity rates as low as possible and that's essential to continue growth in Colorado Springs and maintain low and acceptable rates," he said.
Colorado Springs Utilities said it has made progress in restoring the plant. Unit 5, 6, and 7 were all damaged. Unit 6 is expected to be online again by the end of July. Crews are currently testing it, and could test its full capacity as soon as next week.
Unit 7 is expected to be online again by this fall. Once unit 6 is back online, the rates are expected to go down by 30 percent. When unit 7 is back online, it is expected to go down by an additional 40 to 50 percent.
Another public discussion will happen on June 26 at City Hall.

To repair urgently the sixth unit of Ghorashal power plant that went out of order in July 2010, the power ministry is negotiating an unsolicited deal with an Indian company with a price tag three times that in a contract for the same work which failed two months ago.
The sixth unit of the gas-fired 210-megawatt plant, built by Russain company Technoprompexport, went bust due to faults of the plant's officials and staff. The plant's turbine and generator needed replacement.
The Power Development Board floated a restricted tender for urgent repair of the plant that produced power at a cheap cost, and two Russian companies and an Indian company participated in the bid. The Russian companies -- Technopromexport (the plant's builder) and Inter Roues -- sought around $27 million to $30 million and the Indian company-- Swati – sought $70 million for the job.
As the prices seemed too high and offers flawed, the authorities in April last year cancelled the tender. The PDB sought the prime minister's approval for direct purchase from the cancelled tender's lowest bidder Technoprompexport. This will save time, the PDB argued.
On June 8 last year, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina signed a decision to award the repair work through a direct purchase method.
But instead of carrying out that decision, the power ministry directed the PDB for a second restricted tender by including a trading company named IED Holding of Russia.
After a year, the IED Holding was awarded the job in July this year at a price of Tk 187 crore or around $21 million.
But as the contractor is just a trading company, it could not furnish an authorisation letter from the original equipment manufacturer as per its agreement with the government. As a result, the PDB had to cancel the deal in late September.
Soon afterwards, instead of going for a direct deal with the plant's original manufacturer, the power ministry has started negotiating with Indian company Swati that made a fresh unsolicited offer of $68 million. Following negotiations, Swati said mid-October that it would arrange the plant's equipment from Power Machines of Russia.
Swati said it would reduce its price offer by $1 million only if the PDB gives it 10 percent of the contract price as advance.
This kind of advance was banned many years ago to prevent corruption. On the contrary, the contractor usually provides a performance guarantee of 10 percent of its offered price.
An official tried to justify the overpriced deal saying that Swati would provide some new equipment and modernise the plant's vital parts instead of just repairing it.
Meanwhile, Technopromexport sent a letter to the power ministry on October 24 giving it a reminder about its techno-economic proposals submitted twice in 2011 and 2012. It reiterated its interest in doing the repair work of the plant.
As per different proposals, the repair work would take around two years to complete.
Since the Ghorashal unit six went out of operation, the PDB was left with the natural gas being supplied to that plant for power generation. It took a separate initiative late last year and amended an existing contract with British rental power company Aggreko to convert its diesel-fired 145 MW plant into a gas-fired one. This is saving the PDB a huge cost for diesel import, while utilising the available gas. The deal with Aggreko will expire in late next year.

The Northern Knights were in the outfield yesterday when they swapped bats for spades outside Okara Educare centre.
The cricketers spent the day planting native plants along the bank area beside the outdoor playground, as part of their community work following a team bonding camp in Whangarei.
Educare general manager Marianne Walker said the owners of Educare, Alan and Jackie Lints, sponsored the Northern Knights. They had also sponsored the Hospice Christmas House Tour, being held from November 1 to 3.
"We just want to improve the bank area," she said. "The children are the guardians of the waterway. They've been helping with the compost and transporting the plants. They are all native plants to enhance the natural area, and also in line with the [district] council's plan."
She was thankful for Northern Knights' help in the planting.
Northern Knights captain Daniel Flynn said it was something he enjoyed doing. "It's good to give back to the community. We've been doing team bonding and it's also a good way to finish the session," he said.

Today, Tibco Software — best known for its SOA integration, complex event processing, and business process management suite — announced its acquisition of Nimbus Partners, a privately held business process analysis vendor based in the United Kingdom. Nimbus Partners is smaller and less well known than the other more mature and full-featured BPA solutions, such as those from ARIS, Provision, and Mega. Nimbus, which employs more than 100 people, sold process discovery and authoring tools along with its homegrown methodology for quickly capturing and managing detailed information on business processes. Nimbus' features and ease of use appealed mostly to process architects, process analysts, and business stakeholders that wanted an environment more robust than Microsoft Visio but not as technical — or requiring as much training — as other BPA environments.

It's The Age Of The Customer, according to Forrester Research and others who track and shape business trends.
Or is it???
Somebody please tell that to my health insurance company, which has annoyed me greatly this week. I've been receiving increasingly threatening letters from them, starting a few weeks ago just before I headed out for a long vacation. I didn't think too much about it at the time but, a week after returning from vacation, I noticed the letters were now coming from a law firm. Yikes! I called them.
Turns out, my physical therapy claims for a chronic condition were under scrutiny. Microscopic scrutiny. "Could it have been the result of an automobile accident, and the other driver was at fault?" they asked. Or "Were you injured at work and should be filing for worker's compensation?" Or was it some other kind of accident with nefarious connections of some sort? The claims subrogration unit was on the case and determined to make another party pay.
Exasperated, I told them that it was for a chronic condition diagnosed several years ago and all the information was on file and up to date, since I regularly see physicians for that condition and had been referred by a physician to physical therapy. Then they asked me to spell out the condition. I had steam coming out of my ears at that point. Why bother to have a file about me if they aren't going to look at it, make it available to people calling me, and keep it up to date? Could they have worked this into their process before sending threatening letters and calling me?

- Athlon 64/Sempron
- ATI Radeon X300-based 2D/3D
Great Combo 12/29/2007
This review is from: ECS RS482-M754 A 3200+ AMD Athlon 3200+ 754 ATI RS482 Micro ATX Motherboard/CPU Combo
I have been running this combo for about 8 months, although I bought the components separately. The onboard video works fine for nearly everything including many games and it has a PCI-E slot if you need more video power. SATA and PSAT connections are good for recycling older components and for adding newer faster ones. I have had good luck with ESC MBs and continue to look at them for new builds.
The single core Athlon 3200 is about as fast as you can get anymore for the 754 slot. Also the Memory chips are expensive compared to AM2 slots.
Other Thoughts:
This has been an excellent combo for average computing, internet use and light game playing. If you are trying to revive an old system or want to put together an excellent budget machine then this is the way to go. The driver for the onboard sound is a little picky so install the drivers one at a time with the sound last. I thought my board was bad until I tried this process and all of the features work fine. Using with: 1Gig DDR400 Wintec Ampro Ram, Cooler Master CPU fan, Rosewill RV300 Power Supply, recycled case, hard drive, DVD/CD burner, floppy and monitor. All items (except recycled ones) bought from Newegg (You Rock).

Rehabilitation: Treatment Approaches
Aquatic Therapy - video 1 & video 2
Any type of aquatic therapy is immensely beneficial to all types of pets with all types of conditions. The natural properties of water such as buoyancy, cohesion, hydrostatic pressure and resistance make it a unique and invaluable addition to any rehabilitation program. Severely debilitated or paralyzed pets can walk in water long before they can walk on land. Pets with severe arthritis can exercise in an environment that is non concussive on their sore joints. Jet massage is also helpful; like a big Jacuzzi for dogs with pain or edema. The safe cushion of the water allows for early walking in more patients just after surgery. Exercising overweight patients in water is more strenuous than on land. The resistance of the water can also add an additional challenge to the conditioning of athletic or working pets.
Assisted Mobility Carts, Slings, etc. - video
Wheelchairs are available for weak, painful or paralyzed pets. Although we do not sell these carts directly, we are familiar with many companies and their products. Ordering, fitting, and acclimating your pet to a wheelchair can be an overwhelming process. Our staff is skilled in assisting owners with the entire process in hopes successful transition for the pet.
Electrical Stimulation - video
Electrical stimulation is performed by trained professionals to help prevent loss of muscle tone during the healing process. The electrical stimulation device causes a weakened or paralyzed muscle to contract and can also be used to "re-educate" muscles after prolonged disuse.
Home Exercises
All rehabilitation is a team effort. Our staff works very closely with the veterinarian and pet owner in all aspects of the rehabilitation to offer the best long term outcome. We realize that with proper guidance, many rehabilitation exercises can be performed at home by the owner. Every rehabilitation patient receives an extensive individualized home exercise program as part of their evaluation. Our staff will gladly demonstrate, explain and teach each exercise to the owner so that they can effectively treat their pet in the comfort of their own home. Our staff understands pet owner concerns of location, finance and attachment to a pet and will work hard to find an effective treatment plan that everyone is happy with.
Local Cold Therapy (Hypothermia)
Local hypothermia is used immediately after surgery or injury to cause the blood vessels to constrict. This helps decrease pain, decrease swelling, and relax skeletal muscles. Hypothermia is often performed after exercises to help calm muscles and nerves.
Local Hot Therapy (Hyperthermia)
Hyperthermia is used to improve blood and lymphatic flow and nerve velocity. This aids healing by enhancing local fluid flow and decreasing swelling. Localized heat is also used to prepare for rehabilitation exercises that immediately follow.
Passive Range of Motion (PROM) Exercises - video
PROM exercises help maintain the joint nourishment and range of motion. The movements of the limb and joints are performed by the therapist and involve no exertion by the patient.
Pulsed Signal Therapy (PST)
Pulsed Signal Therapy is a newer medical treatment used to treat osteoarthritis, hip dysplasia, degenerative joint disease, rheumatoid disease, back pain and sports-type injuries in small animals. The results have been shown to be long-term.
PST consists of pulsed signals that mimic the normal healthy physiological signals, transmitted into the joint to promote the repair of damaged cells and to stimulate the repair and maintenance processes. PST focuses on the cause of the symptoms: the breakdown of cartilage and joint tissue. Pain and swelling can occur when the cartilage wears due to degenerative joint disease, overuse or injury.
Pulsed Signal Therapy reproduces the bio-physically correct restoration signal and directs it into the joint, stimulating the existing cartilage and other damaged structures to repair themselves and therefore function more efficiently, thus accelerating the convalescent period and restoring the joint's function.
Soft Tissue Massage - video
Massage is the gentle manipulation of muscle and soft tissue to increase blood and lymphatic flow through the tissues. Massage helps increase the delivery of nutrients and removal of waste products and excess water from the affected areas. Massage can relieve tight tendons and muscles and help relieve chronic pain.
Therapeutic Exercises
Therapeutic exercise is the process of teaching animals to do activities that will strengthen their weak areas. The best rehabilitation is to find a way to get the pet to use their own muscles to move the limb as we need them to move. These exercises are extremely beneficial because we can effectively target problem muscle areas, improve balance, improve limb usage and maximize recovery without expensive equipment. With proper guidance, many owners can do these exercises in the comfort of their own homes. In addition, therapeutic exercises gradually help animals return to the activities they are expected to perform after they are recovered. A few of our favorite exercises include slow walks, balancing exercises( videos: bal1 & bal2), obedience tricks (videos: sit to stand and sit to down, tunnel), obstacle work (videos: walk, rails1 & rails2), weaving, stairs/hills and land treadmills.
Please click the above links to see videos of the exercises.
Ultrasound Therapy
Ultrasound therapy can help breakdown scar tissue between tissues, relieve pain and facilitate healing.

Diavolo in the Details
Come fly with Diavolo, tempts the new South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center. Diavolo, which literally means both day and I fly, features an eclectic group of dancers, gymnasts, and actors that redefines dance through dynamic movement, trust, and teamwork. The award-winning performing arts troupe from Los Angeles will be in Miami for a series of performances and master classes. With their outrageously surrealistic and large-scale interdisciplinary performances think larger-than-life-size everyday items such as doors, chairs, and stairways the Diavolo performers will fly, leap, and spin the audience into another dimension. According to Eric Fliss, managing director of the South Miami-Dade Cultural Arts Center, he was looking for a troupe that was family-friendly and dynamic yet fit with the aesthetics of the new center. Diavolo uses large architectural props onstage. Since the building is an amazing architectural structure, I thought Diavolos sculptural elements would mirror and reflect the architecture of the building. The recently opened center was designed by the internationally renowned architecture firm Arquitectonica and represents the first state-of-the-art cultural venue in the southern part of the county.

General Weapons, Inc. (Comprehensive time value of money) Mr. Rambo, President of General Weapons, Inc.,
General Weapons, Inc. (Comprehensive time value of money) Mr. Rambo, President of General Weapons, Inc., was pleased to hear that he had three offers from major defense companies for his latest missile firing automatic ejector. He will use a discount rate of 10 percent to evaluate each offer.
|$1,200,000 now plus $625,000 from the end of years 6 through 15. Also if the product goes over $60 million in cumulative sales by the end of year 15, he will receive an additional $3,000,000. Rambo thought there was an 80 percent probability this would happen.
|Offer II
|Thirty percent of the buyer's gross margin for the next four years. The buyer in this case is Air Defense, Inc. (ADI). Its gross margin is 60 percent. Sales for year 1 are projected to be $3.5 million and then grow by 35 percent per year. This amount is paid today and is not discounted.
|Offer III
|A trust fund would be set up for the next four years. At the end of that period, Rambo would receive the proceeds (and discount them back to the present at
10 percent). The trust fund called for semiannual payments for the next four years of $110,000 (a total of $220,000 per year). The payments would start immediately. Since the payments are coming at the beginning of each period instead of the end, this is an annuity due. To look up the future value of the annuity due in the tables, add 1 to n (16 + 1) and subtract 1 from the value in the table. Assume the annual interest rate on this annuity is 10 percent annually (5 percent semiannually). Determine the present value of the trust fund's final value.
Required: Find the present value of each of the three offers and then indicate which one has the highest present value.

text: Barb Boose Publications Director, Marketing and Communications July 1, 2011Friday recipe: chicken and Spanish rice U.S. News & World Report ranks colleges, medical schools, hospitals and more, so no surprise that the magazine recently crunched through some of the nation's most popular diets to find the best one. The winner is DASH, the government-endorsed Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension.According to the U.S. N&WR website, the diet – which was developed to fight high blood pressure – earned 3.9 stars on a five-star scale for its "nutritional completeness, safety, ability to prevent or control diabetes, and role in supporting heart health." Runners-up in the ranking included the Mediterranean diet, the National Institutes of Health Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC) diet and the Weight Watchers diet.While the National Public Radio health blog, "Shots," humorously points out that "you can get a workout sifting through the diet-rating extravaganza," the analysis is a boon for foodies like me who demand a diet that's both healthy and delicious. DASH recipes include several picks perfect for summer, like new potato salad and chicken salad, as well as a tasty version of chicken and Spanish rice. iStockphoto/NPRChicken and Spanish Rice1 cup onions, chopped3/4 cup green peppers2 teaspoons vegetable oil1 8-ounce can tomato sauce*1 teaspoon parsley, chopped1/2 teaspoon black pepper1-1/4 teaspoon garlic, minced5 cups cooked brown rice (cooked in unsalted water)3-1/2 cups chicken breasts, cooked, skin and bone removed, and dicedIn a large skillet, sauté onions and green peppers in oil for 5 minutes on medium heat.

Ever since Yelp (www.yelp.com) hit version 2.0 earlier this year, the company has been steadily trickling our new features to give it parity with its iOS and Android counterparts. Last night the latest version of the app, one for Windows Phone 7.x and one for 8, was bumped to version 22.214.171.124 and 126.96.36.199 respectively and it brings along with it a few nice changes.
There isn't a detailed changelog though we do note you still can't add full reviews. Instead, the app will save a "draft", which you then need to finish on your own time on the PC. That's kind of a weak implementation, though we suppose it may weed out the insta-angry reviews that sometimes people bang away while still in the restaurant.

Video :: Adam Richman Talks Tottenham, Sandwiches and American Soccer with Jimmy Conrad | @AdamRichman
Written By: isps|
Sep 28, 2012
via KickTV on youtube:
Adam Richman, host of Adam Richman's Best Sandwich in America and Man v. Food on the Travel Channel and more importantly, an avid soccer fan. Adam describes how FIFA helped him fall in love with the game and quickly become a fan of Tottenham Hotspur and the New York Red Bulls.
Gotta love AR. If you didnt know, the Man v. Food champ is obviously a big footy fan. He has some interesting thoughts on the MLS and how it needs more American support from Americans, since that is the only way that we can grow the game. We love that philosophy and obviously that is something that we are in full support of. I find it super interesting how he is one of the many people who came to love the game of soccer from playing FIFA, just like Snoop was saying earlier this week about the video game, and ironically, I know a lot of people who came to soccer the exact same way.
* Hey Adam, we've got a couple of tv show ideas that we are cooking up over here that you might be interested in…. if you see this, hit up Beans, we might have something for you. #jussayin!
* shouts out to Jimmy and KickTV by the way, if you havent subscribed to their channel on youtube yet, you need to. They are pumping out solid content and getting some great interviews.
Check out the video after the jump…..

Casey Kasem receives the Radio Icon award during The 2003 Radio Music Awards in Las Vegas. (Associated Press)
Last Modified: Monday, June 09, 2014 1:08 PM
LOS ANGELES — A judge says Casey Kasem should be fed, hydrated and medicated while a court-appointed attorney evaluates the health of the ailing radio personality.
Kasem, who has dementia, is in critical condition in a Washington hospital.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Daniel S. Murphy ruled Monday that the 82-year-old Kasem should receive the treatments while an attorney appointed by the judge meets with Kasem and his doctors in Washington state.
Attorneys said medications, food and water had been discontinued over the weekend.
Murphy kept Kasem's daughter Kerri Kasem temporarily in charge of medical decisions involving her father.
She has been locked in a legal battle with her father's wife of 34 years, Jean Kasem, over care.

- - New rescued GSD in our family (http://www.germanshepherds.com/forum/general-behavior/204090-new-rescued-gsd-our-family.html)
New rescued GSD in our family
I am the proud new momma to a 2 yr old black GSD that we rescued through an awesome program. I am experienced with rescue dogs and with Australian Shepherds and Border Collies but this is my frist GSD. This gal has lot of potential in many areas....she was tested by Louisville Metro PD and was an outstanding candidate for their narcotics program. However she did have some fear of traffic so she was turned down until she could overcome that. She was rescued as a stray on the streets of Louisville so the fear of traffic had kept her alive. NOw that I have her I am seeing new behaviors that I have never seen like that total attachment...I thought my Aussie stuck to me like glue but this is a whole new level. She constantly wants to play and I allow her lots of play time, exercise but there are times throughout the day we just cant play. I put her in "timeout" aka the crate for about an hour a day to get her to just rest. I also provide a rawhide chew that usually occupies her for an hour or so. What other things might I do to help her "self entertain"?
I don't think I"ve ever really had a german shepherd that entertained themselves for very long:) They are sooo human orientated, and such interactive dogs.
Congrats on your new girl!
I have a couple of aussies myself,,they keep the gsd in line and yes my gsd's have always been much more 'velcro' than my aussies who tend to have their own agendas:)
I always thought Aussies were velcro and liked human attention but this gal has shown me the true meaning of mans best friend LOL. She is doing very well and we try to be creative to entertain her. I type this with one hand as I play tug of war with the other. She and I are going to obedience classes soon to work on control and more advanced obedience. Not sure how she ended up on the streets of Louisville Ky but glad I was able to provide her a forever home.

not enough hardner
Last night I glassed the seem of the fenders that I just spit and widened. On the first fender I used a moderate amount of hardener thinking that I may need extra time to work. The color of the Bondo brand long hair fiber glass resin did change after adding the bondo and I did mix it real well. On the second fender I was more confident so I used quite a bit of hardner. The color went from green to brown and it set up in about 30 minutes. I sanded it down and now she is ready for bondo filler. the first fender stayed tacky for about two hours. I started to worry, but then I realized that it was getting harder than a brick. At three hours she was still very very slightly tacky but definitely as hard as the second fender. I turned up the heat in the garage and it seemed to help. This morning I checked the fender and the tackyness is almost gone. Am i good to go or do I have to try and remove all that glass. I dont think it's gonna just come out. This stuff is tuff, not at all like regular filler. Obviously there was enough hardener to start the curing process or else it would still be soggy.

|st: xtnbreg for HLM?
|Mon, 21 Nov 2005 21:50:14 -0500
Can someone please tell me if xtnbreg is appropriate to use for hierarchical linear modeling. I have seen xtnbreg used to model hierarchical data under the assumption that it allows the level 1 beta coefficients to vary across the level 2 units. However, the explanation of xtnbreg specifically says "random effects" does not refer to the xb term. My assumption is that it allows the errors to vary across the level 2 units. Is xtnbreg appropriate to use for hierarchical linear modeling?

I first received a sample of this sent in a box over a year ago and only recently took the plunge to purchase it. The scent is truly intoxicating. The words soft, feminine, sunshine, warm, white, breezy (...to name a few) come to mind to describe this scent. And the packaging is very luxe too - I kept the box out on a shelf - it looks fancy ;-)
Yes, it is pricey, but worth it!

Photo Comments
A local pet photographer wanted to update her portfolio, so she asked if Momma and I would model for her. She thinks I am, "the sweetest dog she has ever met".
WE SAID, "YES!" After all, Momma does like portraits, and she said the price was just right (free).
So last Sunday we posed for the cameras for three hours. She took over four hundred pictures of me and some of Momma and me. I was so tired afterwards, but now my modeling career has begun. I am sure my diva points are going up now. Next time, I will charge for photos. Does this mean the "pup-er-a-tzi" will be chasing me now?
(BIG SIGH) Ahhh the life of a celebrity!
Yawn, I must go and get more beauty sleep. Good night. Snore.
My Momma's parents came ta visit me Saturday. Dey played wif me for a long time. I gots ta jump on Grandpaw fer a whole hour. I lick-ed his ears and stuff too. He iz nice. I bite-d his nose too. Momma says dat bitin iz bad, but Grandpaw jest laughed. He thinks I iz fun ta play wif too and wants ta come back soon.
I slept good dat nite. When in Granpaw comin back? Huh? Huh?
New Baby:
On Saturday we got a new baby in da Family. His name is Sully (short for Sullivan) an he lives with Auntie Mijken, Unka Steve an my pug-cousin Reggie. He is pink. He does not have much fur. He iz not much fun ta play wif now. Momma says he will learn ta play later, but now he has ta sleep. Hmmmm? Sleep? I likes dat too.
Momma took me in today to da clinic. I gots ta be spayed. Momma was all nervous, but I was not. I wanted ta go play wif all of da other dogs an cats. Momma took work off tamorrow ta be wif me, but I keep telling her I will be fine. Why does Momma have ta worry so much?

How bad would it hurt my 05 wrx if I put regular gas in it instead of premium?
This is a discussion on Gas within the General Maintenance, Troubleshooting & Accidents. forums, part of the Tech & Modifying & General Repairs category; How bad would it hurt my 05 wrx if I put regular gas in it instead of premium?...
How bad would it hurt my 05 wrx if I put regular gas in it instead of premium?
If you did it on accident, one tank full won't kill your engine, just don't go WOT. run the tank till its almost empty then fill up with premium.
What does WOT mean and I've been running it on regular for 3 weeks and just figured out it was premium... How bad is that?
WOT = Wide Open Throttle.. Balls to the wall.. Pedal to the metal.
Chances are you'll be fine.. Just take it easy till you get premium in there to avoid any (more) damage.
No problem
Keep the turbo out of boost and you should be okay
It wont harm your car at all. The motor has anti-knock sensors that will adjust the engine timing accordingly. If you run regular, you wont get the best performance out of your car, but you wont hurt it either.
You won't instantly destroy your car but you're really not saving a tremendous bunch either. Your cars performance will be effected and your mpgs go down. Additionally, most will instinctively press the gas more to compensate for the performance loss thereby making mpgs even worse.
You can actually find information on this subject and many other in the FAQ thread in the NMH or by clicking the links in my sig.
GAS - High Octane Truth or Myth?
Bottom line, you're really not saving the money you think you are by using the wrong octane rating.

Next week I will be speaking at Oredev about Natural User Interface techniques and I couldn't be more excited about it. As a conference, Oredev has become one of the most prestigious developer events in the world bringing together a great speaker lineup, focusing on multi-vendor technologies, real world solutions and a contagiously passionate community around the event. Those are some of the ingredients I look for these days in industry conference because, let's face it: conferences can be a tremendous waste of time from both an attendee as well as a speaker perspective.
Let me try to explain:
Every year, I speak at 9-12 industry events ranging from core developer forums to more executive type events. Over the years, I've learned to be very selective and very honest to myself about the events I decide to speak at. While before I used to try to see conferences as a way to grow my professional reputation and network, these days I only try to speak and attend events that I am really passionate about and that, I think, can result on a great experience. This is a very personal position I developed after spending a lot of time speaking at the WRONG TYPE OF CONFERENCES and not feeling I was providing a lot of value to the audience.
I know I can come across as very blunt about this topic so I figure I share some advice about technology conferences.
As a speaker, focus on vendor-agnostic conferences: This is something it took me a while to realize. I spent a lot of years, speaking at vendor-specific conferences that I didn't enjoy but it helped me nurture a reputation within those tech communities. After a while, I realize that most vendor specific conferences and just big sales shows on which the presentations and topics are ultimately targeted to sell more product licenses instead of delivering true value. More importantly, vendor-specific conferences are constrained by a lot of policies and burochreacy that prevents them from delivering a great experience. While I still do a few of those conferences every year, I find vendor-agnostic conferences as Oredev, QCon, etc much more open, honest and effective on attracting a great speaker line-up and delivering great value to attendees.
As an attendee, you know more than you think: One of the reasons I am super excited about Oredev is because I always have a blast speaking at conference in the Scandinavian region because you are most certain to encounter a super savy and real tough audience J. As an attendee, realize that there are cheaper and more efficient ways to acquire knowledge than attending industry events. If you are attending a conference, focus on sessions about topics you are passionate about, take the time to get familiar with the topic and challenge the speaker. Good speakers appreciate knowledgeable audiences and it makes an overall productive experience.
As a speaker, It's Not About You, It's About Your Audience: A lot of mediocre speakers who are only interested on making a name for themselves spend an awful amount of time marketing themselves or their company while failing on delivering valuable content to their audience. Being a speaker at a major conference comes with the responsibility of delivering a great experience for your audience and help them expand their knowledge on specific topics. When you get on stage, spend the time focusing on helping your audience instead of making the session about yourself.
As an attendee, there are cheaper ways to acquire knowledge: Let's face it, you rarely learn anything at a conference. These days, most of the content delivered at industry events is available online in some shape or form. In that sense, you don't really need to attend a conference to get yourself familiar with a specific topic, there are more efficient ways to do that.
As a speaker, please be original: I couldn't emphasize more about this. A lot of content delivered at technical conferences these days just seems to be copied out of product documentations, internet blog posts or reciting some vendor party line. As a speaker, try to come out with original ideas that will help your audience think outside the box and push the boundaries of specific products and technologies.
As an attendee, focus on real experts-doers and not talkers: As I mentioned before, there are a lot of speakers at industry events that are just there to recite somebody else's ideas. If you are attending a tech conference, try to focus on sessions delivered by true experts who have build real things in those specific areas. Even if those guys are sometimes not the best speakers, they will most certainly focus on delivering original content based on innovative ideas.
What do you think? Can tech conferences be a waste of time?

Texas Elections Mark Start of State Balloting With ID LawsMark Niquette and David Mildenberg
Texans will have to prove who they are to cast ballots today, beginning a series of U.S state elections that will show the effect of laws pushed by Republicans requiring photo identification at the polls.
Nine states this year are holding their first major votes - - including for governor and Congress -- under such laws, according to the Denver-based National Conference of State Legislatures. The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for many such requirements last year after throwing out a core element of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, which was meant to enfranchise blacks in the segregated South.
Republicans have said the measures will stop fraud, while Democrats say they are meant to keep minorities and the poor from participating. The effects may be sweeping: In Dallas County alone, the elections department mailed letters in January to warn almost 200,000 people of discrepancies between voter registrations and identification records, said Kathleen Thompson, spokeswoman for the county's Democratic Party.
"We're going to be watching it very closely, obviously with an eye to concern about just how much it reduces Latino turnout at the elections or even results in Latinos being turned away from the polls," said Brent Wilkes, national executive director for the League of United Latin American Citizens, an Washington-based group that opposes the laws.
Court Challenges
Nineteen states have enacted some form of identification law, according to the NCSL. Besides Texas, other states where laws are taking effect for major elections this year are Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, and Virginia, the group said.
Measures in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are on hold because of court challenges, and 10 other states are debating new or more stringent requirements, the conference said.
The Texas Legislature passed its law in 2011. It was null until the Supreme Court threw out a requirement in the Voting Rights Act that the U.S. Justice Department approve election rules in Texas and all or part of 14 other states, most Southern.
In Texas today, polls show that few races are close. Attorney General Greg Abbott leads the Republican race for the governor nomination. On the Democratic side, the candidates include state Senator Wendy Davis, who gained fame for a filibuster last year in an attempt to kill an law restricting abortions. Other candidates in the Republican primary include U.S. Senator John Cornyn, who is seeking re-election. Surveys show he leads Tea Party favorite Steve Stockman, a U.S. representative.
Acceptable Identification
To make their choices, voters in the Lone Star State must show one of seven forms of photo identification, including a driver's license, election identification certificate, personal identification card or concealed handgun license, as well as a passport and military card from the federal government, according to the Texas Secretary of State.
The law was used for the first time in November when there were proposed constitutional amendments on the ballot statewide.
Supporters of the measures have said that before their passage, unregistered people could give false names to cast ballots. Abbott says on his campaign website that voter fraud is real and that laws are needed to "prevent cheating at the ballot box."
Opponents said there's little evidence of such behavior.
"The premise of the law is somewhat suspect," voter Don Campbell, 75, said in an interview today after voting at the Dallas County Courthouse. "It's designed to solve a nonexistent problem."
Second Chances
Campbell, who carries an ID and said the requirement isn't a burden for him, called the requirement "a new type of poll tax." It may affect minorities and the elderly, he said.
Under Texas law, voters whose personal information doesn't match exactly can initial a form to get a regular ballot. Those without an ID can vote using a provisional ballot, which gives them six days to verify their identity and have the ballot counted, said Alicia Pierce, a spokeswoman for the secretary of state's office.
There were no immediate reports from polling places today of problems linked to the ID requirement, Pierce said.
Between 8 percent and 12 percent of eligible U.S. citizens lack required identification, and while many states offer free cards for voting, it is difficult for some residents to travel to get them, said Myrna Perez, a lawyer at the Brennan Center for Justice in New York who represents groups challenging the Texas law.
Increased Turnout
Results from the November election in Texas showed that turnout increased to about 9 percent of registered voters from about 5 percent in a similar election two years earlier. Participation increased in counties with larger percentages of minorities, according to a Feb. 11 issue paper by Hans von Spakovsky, a legal fellow at the Heritage Foundation, a Washington research group that promotes conservative policies.
"This delegitimizes claims that voter ID laws are likely to negatively affect poor and minority voters," he wrote.
