Katie Holmes For Ann Taylor: Check Out Her Latest Campaign Shots Here!
The multi-tasking mom shows off a softer side in the classic ads
When a brand chooses a celebrity to front the brand, the partnership doesn't always make sense –however, that isn't the case with Katie Holmes for Ann Taylor. The star may not be focused on being best dressed on the red carpet, but she looks best when she embraces her classic and chic personal sense of style — and that's exactly what she's doing in the latest campaign.

|RE: reassigning perperty values?
|Fri, 27 Oct 2000 20:32:33 GMT
I may be arguing(sp?) for breaking buildfiles left and right, but I really think it is wrong to presume that any ANT file called from another is a related subproject. To give you an example: Lets assume I have this website project that uses Tomcat, Cocoon, xerces, xalan, and my own stuff. Lets assume (and here is the leap of faith) that I do not trust distributions and I like to compile stuff from sccratch. I should be able to write and ANT build file with a target "all" as follows: <target name="all" depends="xerces,xalan,tomcat,cocoon,mysite" /> <copy .../> </target> Each one of this targets just call <ant> on the respective project build files. Now, I think it is clear that there is no reason whatsoever to assume that properties of the same name on those subprojects have the same meaning and much less should have the same value. Otherwise we would have to reqire that every project in the world use a different "property name space" for their properties. In my view, there are two types of buildfiles: (1) Autonomous build files (for a better name) which set all their properties to the correct values before they are used. (2) Dependant buildfiles, that expect some of their properties (maybe most of them) to be set by a calling buildfile. When an autonomous file calls another, the number of properties that we want to maintain is usually small (my theory) and that we can achieve using <property> or <param>. Most other properties are completely insignificant or their value must be different on the context of the subproject. So, as I mentioned in the past, for me the "correct behaviour" is to allow properties defined in the caller to be overwritten by definitions on the subproject. The exception to this is the -D option or its equivalent <param> (or <property>) nested element on <ant> task. This still lives the issue of testing for properties ( if="prop.name" ). When an unrelated property of the same name is defined in the caller project, we may get the wrong behavior in the subproject. Which means, we probably need a way to say "undefine this property in the subproject" ( <param name="xxx" undefined="true" /> ). Opinions? Maybe I have a very narrow view of how people use subprojects. Are there any other usage patterns that may clash with this case? Maybe there is a work around.

The halls were relatively desired as I walked towards the cafeteria. I'd made sure that I was late for breakfast, so then I wouldn't have to be surrounded by a swarm of students, all trying to get into the caf at once. I wasn't a crowd kind girl, I liked to be alone.
Alone, however, was something I wasn't. Zac was still lurking around, trying to converse with me about next to everything,
"I miss going to school," he mentioned as we walked past graduation plaques, which were mounted on one side of the corridor. "Maybe not the actual learning part of it, but definitely the social part of it. There aren't too many people around that I can talk to anymore."
Over and above all, I did miss having Zac around. But in no way did I want his ghost following me around right then. I had enough things to deal with; all these kids with strange powers, fear demons running around, and the disappearance of my best friend Margo.
Yes, the last thing I need was a boy in my hair.
Everyone had gathered in the usual table and were munching on breakfast quietly. Most of the faces around the table were tired looking, with dark crescents under eyes and skin paler then normal. If things stayed like this, I night actually start to look normal around here.
I resumed my place at the windowsill from the day before. It was an unusually wide sill, which made it a perfect place to sit and just stare out the window. I looked out and my gaze slid to the place where my resourced pup was, once again, in the ground.
After quickly explaining to the group about my theory on the fear demons, I wondered to over to the food to grab myself a muffin. The food here, I had come to the conclusion, wasn't too bad.
Once again seated on the window, I listened to the group's opinion on the demons and such. Zac had started his babble again, which I tried to ignore the best I could. Faye picked that moment to address me, and I was finding it hard to hear her with a ghost gibbering away next to me.
"Honestly, do you ever shut up?" I snapped at Zac and shot him an irritated look. "I'm sorry, what was that, Faye?"
She smiled meekly at me. "I asked if you had located Margo yet."
"I think that's obvious," cut in Soar. "I'm pretty sure she's not telling herself to shut up."
I smiled sadly at Soar's remark, but then shook my head. "Regretfully, no I still haven't seen her around. But I'm going to skip lunch and go look for her."
"Then who were you talking to just now?" countered a boy, who I'd heard be addressed as Lace.
I bit my lip and rolled my shoulders. I was stiff after such a late night. "That, my friends is our newest group member, Zac. I know you guys can't see him, but he's here. Count yourselves lucky you can't hear his agonizing gibberish."
"Hey!" exclaimed Zac, who had been silent since I'd snapped at him.

Her Frozen Tears
Poem by: RamonaWriter
Status: Finished
Genre: Poetry
The snow falls quitely,
like heavens frozen tears.
She cried along with the angels,
all though these lonely years.
How could something so beautiful
be take away that quick?
Was it a joke
or some awful trick?
She is buried in the white forest,
where they used to meet.
Her frozen corpse is lying,
beneath her lovers feet.
He doesn't know shes there,
despite the love they share.
He showed up late,
now he must mourn over
his dead soul mate.
He didn't show up that day,
try as he may.
She waited for him so long,
so finally down she lay.
She felt so lonely,
she felt so lost.
How could he leave her
dying in the frost?
She tried so hard
just to be brave.
Now she is lying
forever in her icy grave.

Gran Turismo 7 Likely Won't "Make This Year," Says Kazunori Yamauchi
Posted on Friday, June 27 @ 09:45:00 PST by Nicholas Tan
Though originally projecting 2014 as the release date for Gran Turismo 7 on Top Gear (image credit), developer Kazunori Yamauchi has release a statement to Eurogamer stating that this PlayStation 4 sequel will take longer. "We are working on the title. I don't think it'll make this year!"
This isn't terribly surprising given the game's absence at the Sony booth during E3. Luckily, Yamuichi confirmed that the production of Gran Turismo 7 will not be halted by a Prologue version as it was with Gran Turismo 5. We'll see, however, whether some teaser or extended demo is still on the drawing board.
In a recent Reddit AMA, Kazunori Yamauchi has responded to a host of fan questions, mainly expressing his wishes that Gran Turismo 6 would be a fuller game with more real tracks and better audio:
While Polyphony Digital and Kazunori Yamauchi will be updating GT6 monthly, he will be rolling over some of the effort into Gran Turismo 7. At this point, I would much rather see a fully featured GT7 than a full repaired GT6, since Sony needs a strong competitor against Microsoft's burgeoning Forza series with Turn 10 Studios already completing Forza Motorsport 5 and now working on Forza Horizon 2.

In Piers Morgan's latest female slut-shaming, he has taken aim at his favourite target Kim Kardashian.
The irrelevant rationale that celebrities use to post nude photos, like Kim's most recent 'Parisian Vibes', never fails to amuse me…that photo has nothing to do with Paris, just like most people's 'love summery days' posts are nothing but a close up of a pout and cleavage.
But the point is, there is nothing wrong with these posts, and nothing to be shaming!
Three famous women posted photos to the world this week.
One is a classy, empowering feminist. @GwynethPaltrow@KimKardashian@Madonna pic.twitter.com/QWDZWLHNXI
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) September 29, 2016
Piers Morgan, like a troll under the Twitter bridge, waits for any woman to post a nude photo so he can waddle over and shout "slapper".
The media attention seeker, in the same manner as witch Katie Hopkins, has a habit of pushing his unsolicited, bigoted opinions onto the world.
In reply to a tweet defending Mrs Kardashian West's right to do whatever the fuck she wants with her own body, Piers completely misses the point.
When accused of cyber-bullying Kim, Piers back-tracked:
A couple of months ago, Piers fired another shot at the selfie queen:
It's actually becoming quite a strange habit of Piers' to offer to buy women clothes.
If you have also suffered from an addiction to offering to cloth women, get in touch with Mr Morgan, maybe you can work on each other's insecurities enough that you don't need to put people down to gain self-assurance.

The group impressed the City with a 13% rise in like-for-like pre-tax profits to £94m. The shares were among the highest risers in the FTSE 100 index, up 6p to 342p.
Star products were the company's range of knee and hip replacements. Knee sales were up 37% while hip sales grew 16%. Overall sales at the orthopaedics division rose by a fifth 'and show no signs of diminishing'.
There was also a strong performance from the wound management division, which mainly makes dressings for bedsores.
Chairman Dudley Eustace said: 'All businesses are performing well and demand for all our products continues to be strong worldwide. Our sales performance was robust in all our businesses and our orthopaedics division was again the fastestgrowing manufacturer of hip and knee replacements.'

Carlisle recover to take points ...
Carlisle overcame an early setback to deservedly claim their first win of the month in front of a set of 521 very vocal and happy travelling fans.
The hosts took the lead with just 61 seconds on the clock when Meppen-Walter had his pocket picked by Azeez deep inside his own half. Sean Rigg called for it and his cross to the far post had Akinfenwa interested. He arrived unchallenged to tap it in from close range.
The Dons went close again moments later when Oshilaja flicked a near post corner into the mix. Goodman took a touch but he couldn't keep his volley down. Another lobbed free kick caused problems as the Dons stayed forward and Grainger had to block an Azeez shot at source as he tried to finish it off.
A long ball forward brought an unexpected opening for Reeves, as he nipped in front of Griffith in the centre circle, and Gillespie had to readjust as a dipping volley threatened to creep under his bar.
United were back on level terms just after the quarter hour when Dempsey sent a curling free kick to the near post. Sean O'Hanlon muscled his way through and he left Shea with no chance as he thumped his header into the top corner.
The Cumbrians looked a different side and a Grainger long throw had to be blocked twice as Rigg and Sweeney tried to get the vital touch. Sweeney was close again when the corner came in as he raced across the back line and glanced it into a ruck of bodies.
The crossbar saved United as Wimbledon tried to reassert their authority when Akinfenwa twisted to nod a looping header from the edge of the box. Gillespie was beatean, and relieved to see it bobble wide as Sean Rigg scuffed the rebound wide of the mark.
The hosts stayed forward and Akinfenwa brought the best out of Gillespie when the big striker got onto the end of a cross from Azeez. The downward header was going in until a firm hand pushed it away.
United could have grabbed the lead just before the break when Dempsey slid the ball through the back line for Potts to chase. He set himself for the first time shot but Shea dived low to complete a fine save and deny the midfielder his moment of glory.
The sides cancelled each other out through the tentative closing stages of the half but the visitors thought they'd notched when Potts fed Grainger on the overlap. He took it wide and was unlucky not to register as his crisp shot, from a tight angle, whistled just past the upright.
Things stayed tight after the break but Fuller took things into his own hands when he sprinted clear from inside his own half. Akinfenwa was there for the cross but he lost his bearings and sent his header into the side netting.
United hit on the break to get themselves ahead just before the hour when Potts and Dempsey combined in midfield. Right back Matt Young popped up in support and his cross was perfect for the rising Steven Rigg to finish off with the cleanest of headed strikes.
High balls into the box failed to trouble the Carlisle defence but the Cumbrians somehow survived a late goalmouth scramble when an inswinging corner was twice cleared off the line. Akinfenwa was first to be denied, and Francomb was next to be left with his head in his hands as he pulled his volley wide.
But it was stopper Mark Gillespie who earned late hero status when he kept his eye on a fizzed cross as it skipped across his six yard line. Barry Fuller pulled the trigger and the alert keeper spread himself to make what was a world class and match winning save.
Francomb curled another shot wide as the Dons kept the intensity level high and Akinfenwa popped a header wide when it looked easier to score.
Carlisle wrapped up their points deep into time added on when Dempsey burst out of his own half. His shot was parried but substitute David Amoo was on hand to place it into the back of the net with the coolest of finishes.
And it could have been even better when another late counter attack left five yellow shirts unmarked inside the box. Striker Mark Beck was off balance as he hung out a leg and sent it at Shea as he tried to pick a spot in the far corner.
Wimbledon - Akinfenwa (2)
United - O'Hanlon (16), Rigg (56), Amoo (90)
United - Grainger (71), Young (86)
AFC Wimbledon - Shea, Fuller, Kennedy, Reeves (Nightingale 89), Oshilaja, Goodman, Sean Rigg (Potter 65), Bulman, Azeez (Connolly 65), Akinfenwa, Francomb. Subs - McDonnell, Harrison, Moore, Pell.
Carlisle United - Gillespie, Young, O'Hanlon, Archibald-Henville, Grainger, Meppen-Walter, Griffith, Potts (Amoo 83), Dempsey, Sweeney (Beck 90), Steven Rigg (Asamoah 74). Subs - Hanford, Thirlwell, Gillies, Brough.

Discussion in 'Fan Zone' started by LatinMind, Jan 8, 2013.
Really? You guys both actually think this? Crazy how much differently we see this team.
Ware is breaking down? LOL this is the most ridiculous thing ive ever heard.
The guy had a injury yr. Last time i checked players do have injuries.
2008 20 sacks
2009 11 sacks
2010 15.5 sacks
2011 19.5 sacks
Does that look like a player thats breaking down?
The neck problems aren't exactly anything new and he's going to be 31 next season. He's not getting any younger.
Lee isn't good fit at ILB...he would need to go outside.
OK but has that stopped his production at any point? NO. It was the injury to his arm that had him on the Victor Butler level.
With Players like Lee, Carter Claiborne, Carr he doesnt have to anchor the defense. He just has to be Ware. The guy that gets between 15-20 sacks a yr. Now im not saying that Dallas shouldnt start drafting to get younger. I agree with you there, but to say Ware cant anchor the defense if they need him to because he's breaking down is just completely ridiculous.
It certainly slowed him down this year. As he ages, I would logically expect that to continue.
Why not? he plays inside now. Youre trying to tell me Lee cant cover ground or play a two gap Mike role? Really? Lee or Carter both can play any LBer spot in a 4-3
WLB cover Lber spot basically. Both have shown they can cover really good.
SLB Lee and Carter both are great vs the run. Carter showed he's a monster vs the run this yr.
ILB the cover so much ground its ridiculous. Carter specifically on the play vs the falcons started in 1 gap slide down took on a block and then laid the boom on the rb. And Lee's countless run stuffs and ground he covers.
Lee Carter and Sims would be a awsome Lber core
I agree with Wood here, however both he and Carter might be excellent 4-3 OLBs (given they learn the positioning easily etc.. etc..).
Probably Carter on the strong side, Lee on the weak, just a guess.
The 2013 Robert Jones (Robert moved inside after Norton left i think) and Dixon Edwards.
Finding a proper 4-3 MLB would then be a top priority, along with DL, OL, S, yada yada.
Carter Lee Sims
I don't see this at all.
Your best lineup without any additions today would probably be the following, although I don't like it and don't think we'd end up here:
SLB: Lee
MLB: Carter
WLB: Sims
I say that only because I don't feel like we have a true SLB on the roster. You could convince yourself that the transition from a 34 ILB position wouldn't be that difficult, but Sean has become not more effective because he's gotten better shedding the kind of pulling guard and fullback blocks he'd see again at SLB but because he has gotten much better at moving and accelerating through traffic and avoiding blocks. In other words, Lee could play SLB, but I think his best position is MLB. I'm not sure what skill you think he lacks to play that position. He has the speed and agility, has the leadership experience, has become slightly above average in coverage. Sean Lee is not a thumper who won't be able to make that transition.
Bruce Carter could play all three positions because of his physical characteristics, but his most natural position just because of his athleticism, in most schemes would be the Will.
I'd rather play Bruce and Sean out of optimal position and throw in Sims at WLB than put Bruce at WLB, Sean at MLB and ??? at SLB. You could argue that Butler or Albright might be capable of making the transition to the SAM, but the best case scenario in my mind?
WLB: Bruce Carter
MLB: Sean Lee
SLB: Chase Thomas (2nd or 3rd rounder from Stanford)
Much as I think shedding Rob was a mistake, I'd be positively giddy with the front 7 if Lovie came in and we fielded:
SLB: Chase Thomas
LDE: Spencer
LDT: Hatcher
MLB: Lee
RDT: Ratliff
RDE: Ware
WLB: Carter
Alternatively you could go beefier at LDE with a slimmed down Hatcher/Crawford and sign Melton to fill the other tackle spot.
If we switch to a 4-3 I think that means Spencer is gone. Regardless, if we keep him I'd rather see us pick up dlinemen as opposed to a LB first.
they are two things wrong with our 3-4 right now and they can both be fixed.Our d-line is not pushing the pocket and our secondary (especially the safeties) have not their job.
I'm not thrilled at the prospect of moving to a 4-3, however I wouldn't sleep on Kyle Wilber as the SLB with Carter moving to the weakside.
With Carter's coverage abilities, he'd be a natural fit on the strong side.
Gotta be the only team stupid enough to try to run the 3-4 without a space eating clog in the middle and we wonder why it didn't work.
IMHO, the 4-3 is about to cycle back into as the preferred defense in the NFL.
A lot of teams are going to start mimmicking what the Redskins did with the Chris Ault/pistol concepts, because it helps solve the age old riddle of "How do you compete in the NFL when you don't have an Aaron Rodgers or Peyton Manning for a QB?" Buffalo's new coach is already talking about it. Browns were going to pay Chip Kelly a ton of money to bring it to them.
The 4-3 defense and getting as many fast LBs and DEs on the field as possible to defend the perimeter and protect the edge is going to be the counter adjustment that defensive coordinators make.
Lee is a natural 4-3 middle linebacker, ala Zach Thomas, and that's precisely what he played at Penn State.
Yep, that's what he played at UNC.
Assuming we let Spencer walk .....
RDE - Ware
1 Tech - ??/Lissemore
3 Tech - Ratliff/Crawford
LDE - Hatcher/??
SOLB - Carter
ILB - Lee
WOLB - Wilber/???
You shouldn't waste any time worrying about Spears, because he won't be on the team next year. His cap hit is $3 million and he has degenerative knees.
His injuries this year were a busted elbow and dislocated shoulder (probably from overcompensating for the busted elbow), not neck.

Doubting Thomas got a bad rap.
Why would we consider it a bad thing to ask questions? Why is it more virtuous to simply accept a belief without any examination or query? If you think about it, it's actually good to think about it, it's good to think about things before accepting them blindly.
Doubting is a good thing. Blind faith is not really faith at all.
Jesus taught in parables. Jesus told stories that he did not interpret – instead he left the interpretation and the contemplation up to us. Even the interpretations that are in the bible are not part of the quoted words of Jesus, but rather the commentary of the author that is added by Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John. If Jesus didn't want us to question or think for ourselves, he could have just spoken his teachings in the form of commandments for us to accept. But he spoke them in the form of stories for us to think about and pray over so that we could realize the truth for ourselves. And if we stop doing this and simply accept the interpretations presented to us by the priest or pastor or pope, then we aren't internalizing the teachings the way Jesus intended.
A few days ago, my good friends Terry and Sarah introduced me to a "radical theologian" by the name of Peter Rollins. We listened to a few chapters from one of his audio books, and it was captivating (and not just because of his Irish accent). I looked up his website and saw the books he has written – and even though I haven't even had time to read them yet, the titles themselves are thought-provoking:
- The Divine Magician – the Disappearance of Religion and the Discovery of Faith
- The Idolatry of God: Breaking Our Addiction to Certainty and Satisfaction
- Insurrection: To Believe is Human; to Doubt, Divine
"To Believe is Human, to Doubt, Divine." Yes – to doubt is a virtue; to question and to contemplate is divine. This is the practice of self-inquiry from the East – turning our focus inside to realize from within the truth of the Self and of God. This is the "Inquire Within" of philosophers from every culture. Even Plato's Allegory of the Cave taught this – do not accept the shadows on the wall of the cave as truth, set your mind free, leave the cave and see for yourself what reality is.
To quote from more than just the title and include the back of the book as well (not that I'm recommending judging a book by its cover, in fact, that is expressly what I am advocating against, but it's only been a couple of days and I promise if I actually read the books I'll write about them from a more informed perspective later, but for now…):
"It is only as we submit our spiritual practices, religious rituals, and dogmatic affirmations to the flames of fearless interrogation that we come into contact with the reality that Christianity is in the business of transforming our world."
Thomas asked questions when Jesus presented a teaching, not as some form of betrayal or undermining, but because he was internalizing the words that Jesus spoke and letting them transform him. He was making the understanding of the truth Jesus was pointing at a part of his being. Thomas doubting Jesus was a sign of respect. In the gospel that was attributed to Thomas, which was later thrown out of the bible and ordered to be burned by Emperor Constantine and the Nicene council, he didn't focus on Jesus' birth, biography or even his crucifixion. The Gospel of Thomas is simply a collection of Jesus' teachings. For Thomas, it wasn't Jesus' life story that was important – not even the virgin birth or the miracles and hoopla surrounding his life and death. What mattered to Doubting Thomas was the truth that Jesus taught.
Now, I love everything about Jesus – the miracles and hoopla included. And I think that God can do anything God wants and to split an atom in the womb of the Virgin Mary through the Holy Spirit would be a piece of cake. I don't have any issues with anyone who chooses to believe that is what happened. And I absolutely feel the presence of Mother Mary as a vibrant holy being filled with tremendous love and compassion here and now, so I have no qualms about people praying to her. She is a saint and a Bodhisattva in her own right – an enlightened soul who is present to help those who ask her for healing.
It's just that the virgin birth is not a necessary part of my love and faith in Jesus Christ – or Mother Mary, for that matter. I cannot say with certainty if it happened or not, but it doesn't matter to me and to argue about it seems silly. If God had not split the atom in Mother Mary's womb through the Holy Spirit but had as a matter of historical fact split that atom through more tradition means, it would not make Mother Mary or Jesus any less holy in my eyes. Mother Mary would still be a being of vast compassion and Jesus would still be an embodiment of God's love and grace – and his teachings would still hold the seeds of our spiritual freedom in knowing God.
I see this in the title "The Idolatry of God: Breaking our Addiction to Certainty and Satisfaction." In a sense, if we simply idolize God and Christ and do not doubt or question or contemplate, but just accept our religion because it's more virtuous to have faith or because it's more comfortable to feel certain than to question, this is not a very solid faith. It is in practicing the virtue of doubting, of "inquiring within," that we can really FEEL the truth for ourselves and decide what we truly believe in, not as an outside certainty, but as our internal faith. And while there is nothing I love more than adoring God and I think it is right to give Him thanks and praise, I don't want to replace the faith of my own inquiry with a blind idolatry of God.
Hiding out within a set of beliefs that is already put forth for you from someone else is in a way not very responsible. God gave us our minds with the ability to think, God gave us free will – so it is honoring of God to actually use them. In fact, on one side of the spectrum simply accepting someone else's version of religion is downright dangerous.
We see this in extremism – when followers of fanatical religious leaders who spout hate and even violence do not doubt what they are told – and the results are horrific. But we also see this in the less extreme ways where religious beliefs spawn prejudices or social norms that are exclusive and discriminatory – as in gay or lesbian human beings not having the same rights as any other human being. And even though I have never been a religious extremist, I experienced the trappings of this myself by accepting someone else's certainty as my own and feeling like it was wrong for me to doubt or to question. It kept me disempowered from listening to my inner voice, the living word that exists in my heart and it was quite a struggle for me to embrace the virtue of doubt and listen to my true faith again.
This is why I love the title "the Disappearance of Religion and the Discovery of Faith." It is in the process of doubting the edicts of religion that we come to true faith. And true faith is only between you and God – it is beyond religion. These are the mystical teachings of Jesus that Thomas loved so much because through his doubt he came to internal knowing.
Faith is not about certainty. In a way, faith is the opposite of certainty. Faith is being a willing and humble participant in the mystery of God. To quote from Peter Rollin's Wikipedia page (that other cliff notes way of judging a book by its cover) "he views faith as a particular way of engaging with the world rather than a set of beliefs about the world." Faith is an active process – a verb, a living and flexible transformative power.
I do not pretend that I can know God with certainty, I can only trust the living loving Presence of God and do my best to follow Her. As Bishop John Shelby Sponge says in my very first post:
"The idea that the truth of God can be bound in any human system, by any human creed, by any human book is almost beyond imagination for me. God is not a Christian, God is not a Jew or a Muslim or a Hindu or a Buddhist. All of those are human systems which human beings have created to try to help us walk into the mystery of God. I honor my tradition, I walk through my tradition, but I don't believe my tradition defines God, I think it only points me to God."
So, if we all honor our traditions and walk through our respective religions towards the truth of God that they point to, then we can heal our humanity of the wounds that religion has inflicted and live together in faith. If we all incorporate the practice of Doubting Thomas into our religious experience, we could all stay humble and flexible and live in harmony with other seekers similarly doubting their teachings of God.
Doubt and Faith are two sides of the same coin – it's the paradox or Yin and Yang of belief. The process of doubt gives our faith depth and dimension. True internal faith is humble enough to not need certainty but to contain within itself its opposite – the virtue of doubt.

Intrinsically Conducting Polymers: An Emerging Technology
€ 207,49
Sofort lieferbar
August 1993
BeschreibungThis book contains the majority of the papers presented at the NATO Ad vanced Research Workshop (ARW) held in Burlington, Vermont, USA on October 12-15, 1992. This ARW was the first of its kind to address the subject of intrinsically conducting polymers with an emphasis on processing and technological applications. The NATO ARW format was followed in that the subjects addressed here were limited in number but discussed in detail with the attendance being limited to a small number of selected scientists. The ARW brought together lecturers who are leaders in their respective fields from a wide range of NATO and non-NATO countries (a total of 11 countries) with the support of the NATO Scientific Affairs Division and some support from Champlain Cable Corporation. The total number of par ticipants was 33 and the number of presentations was 24. The speakers were chosen based on the topics selected for this workshop and repre sented industry, universities and government laboratories. The field of conducting polymers has grown rapidly during the past few years with important developments in materials processing and fabrica tion that brought about active research programs focusing on the use of these polymers as "smart" materials in technological applications and devices in academic and industrial research laboratories.
InhaltsverzeichnisPreface. Synthesis, properties and applications of perconjugated systems; H. Naarmann.

I'm not sure what to think. If that's true it's scary!
Then again, somebody may be fitting pieces together to have a certain look. We know the head of FEMA was fired, yet there was sure a lot of "ball dropping" going on.

I am posting more from Peter - he has just posted this on THR and IMO it deserves the widest audience. Read carefully and also go to the main link and follow thru some of the other links - eye opener ain't in it! I post it in toto - (sorry - seems our color tags ain't workin).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~In this thread, posted after Hurricane Katrina to attempt to summarize lessons learned from the disaster, I said this:I asked for ideas about why this should be, and a member of the API List sent me the following article, which I found highly disturbing, but uncomfortably accurate. Decide for yourselves... I've highlighted what I think is the key paragraph in red text. Scary! :uhoh:6. Self-reliance seems to draw suspicion upon you from the authorities. I've mentioned this in a previous post, but I've had many more reports of it from those who survived or bugged out, and it bears re-emphasizing. For reasons unknown and unfathomable, rescue authorities seem to regard with suspicion those who've made provision for their safety and have survived (or bugged out) in good shape. It seems to be a combination of "How could you cope when so many others haven't?", "You must have taken advantage of others to be so well off", and "We've come all this way to help, so how dare you not need our assistance?" I have no idea why this should be the case... but there have been enough reports of it that it seems to be a widespread problem. Any ideas from readers?
From Freedom Force International (http://www.freedomforceinternational...fpage=issues):
Analysis by G. Edward Griffin, updated 2005 September 21
There has been widespread criticism of the response of US officials to Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005. The tone of these complaints is that the authorities failed to do their job quickly enough. Some commentators have said this is a racial issue, claiming that the government would have acted more promptly if the majority of victims had been white instead of black. Others have said it was an issue of the rich against the poor, the oil companies against the consumers, the land developers and contractors seeking to force people out of the city so they can rebuild without interference at taxpayers' expense. Democrats have said the problem is that Republicans were in control, and Republicans are indifferent to the plight of the common man.
In news coverage of this tragedy, the most significant events often were buried beneath a blanket of heart-wrenching stories of personal survival, scenes of awesome destruction, reports of looting, and interviews with experts. However, the key to understanding can be found in the following list of news headlines, most of which did not make it into mainstream coverage. These reports make it clear that the government did not fail to respond in a timely fashion. The problem was that it did respond - but in such a way as to actually hinder rescue operations. There were too many instances for this to be merely a mistake or a bureaucratic snafu. There is a clear pattern here that cannot be denied. Why this should be so will be discussed in a moment, but first, here is the amazing record.

So what is going on here? Were agents of the federal government trying to kill American citizens? Were they trying to obtain the maximum death toll and the highest level of human suffering? It would seem that way at first, but I would like to suggest that this incredible behavior stems from something else - something equally unsettling.
The only legitimate function of government is to protect the lives, liberty, and property of its citizens. In New Orleans, however, it was clear that the primary job of the military, FEMA, and Homeland Security was, not to protect citizens, but to protect the government and keep it functioning. It can be argued that, if government does not protect itself first, it may not be able to protect its citizens, so that should be its first obligation. However, the government was not in danger in New Orleans. Aside from one or two snipers, its forces were never under attack, and its ability to function was never threatened; so the self-preservation argument is not valid in this case.
It was clear from the start that the goal of FEMA and Homeland Security was, not to resue people, but to control them. Their directive was to relocate families and businesses, confiscate property, commandeer goods, direct labor and services, and establish martial law. This is what they have been trained to do. The reason they failed to carry out an effective rescue operation is that this was not their primary mission, and the reason they blocked others from doing so is that any operations not controlled by the central authority are contrary to their directives. Their objective was to bring the entire area under the control of the federal government - and this they succeeded in doing very well.
William Anderson, in an article posted to the the web site of the von Mises Institute, came to the same conclusion but from a slightly different perspective. He calls attention to the need for politicians and government agencies to be in the spotlight during emergencies so they can look good to the voters and claim credit for all positive results. They are not interested in sharing the praise. Williams writes:While the world is preoccupied with trying to fix the blame for the government's failure in New Orleans, the reality is that it did not fail at all. It was a huge success in promoting its own agenda. Unfortunately, that agenda was not to rescue American citizens. Once this simple fact is understood, everything that happened in the wake of Katrina becomes understandable and logical.The huge outpouring of private aid, from donation of money, food, clothing, time, and housing (many people simply have taken in refugees ? white and black ? in their own homes) stands in contrast to [Anne] Rice's "America is hopelessly racist and hates the poor" [as Rice claimed in the New York Times] and demonstrates that the will to sacrifice for those truly in need certainly exists in this country. While it is not surprising that the elitist New York Times would take this as its standard view, it also is a shame when the country's "newspaper of record" can't even record the right things.
Yet, for all of the public angst over the federal government's ? and especially FEMA's ? post-disaster response, most observers have missed what is painfully obvious: the government's response was perfectly in character to how people in government act in such situations. To say this in an alternative way, government was being government the same way that a dog is a dog.
As anyone knows, dogs are territorial animals, and governments are territorial entities. The first rule that a government agent follows when confronted with an "emergency" is to "secure the area." For example, when two young men were merrily going on a murder and mayhem spree at Columbine High School in 1999, the vaunted police "SWAT" team stayed outside and encircled the complex because someone said that the area had to be "secured" before police actually could try to save anyone. (Of course, we found out later that not only did police fail to save people, but at least one person bled to death because police refused to get help until the man had died. This was not incompetence; it was the normal workings of the "I am in charge and don't you forget it" mentality that permeates government at all levels.)
Immediately after the hurricane had stopped in New Orleans, for example, a Wal-Mart had brought a truckload of bottled water; FEMA officials turned the truck away, declaring that it was "not needed." Before we dismiss this incident as yet another example of incompetent government, we should realize that the official's actions were completely within the character of government.
When governments act to provide services to individuals, they are done within a very different context than what occurs when private organizations provide services. The post-Katrina services performed by the Red Cross and other organizations such as civil groups and churches did not come with the threat of force attached to them. Church volunteers cannot arrest or even kill someone in those circumstances, but a representative of the government can perform such things without recrimination (and on more than one occasion did just that post-Katrina).
Moreover, government services are performed in as visible a manner as possible. Anyone who has watched some of the post-hurricane coverage has seen press conference after press conference after photo-opportunity of government officials from President George W. Bush to mayors, governors, FEMA and military personnel and the like, people whose job is to be seen doing "good" for political constituents. These things are done with the podium and the TV camera in mind.
The FEMA official who waved off the Wal-Mart truck was correct; FEMA did not "need" Wal-Mart to help. In fact, people from FEMA did not want Wal-Mart to help, as the company would have been able to steal some of the thunder that "rightfully" should belong to FEMA and other government agencies.
If there are new terrorist attacks against the United States or Great Britain or any other country, what we witnessed in New Orleans may have been but a fleeting glimpse into the future of global collectivism.

Like with video and audio editing Ron - spin and bias can be applied to any ''news'' but I do think there is well enough in this to at very least provoke some thought and leave some questions floating!!
I guess it smacks in some ways of - ''incompetence'' - or even ''just obeying orders''.... implementation of ''policy/directives'' regardless.
Over time, probably the next several months I think there will be more clarification of some of the ''events'' - such that hopefully we will get the fuller picture.

It's not good either way, is it? That's the disgusting thing.
Guys, I've worked, and reviewed AA reports from, a variety disasters (tornadoes, first-hand; "peer-review/analysis" on OKC Bombing). This analysis is spot-on, and the primary reason I would be less than accomodating to persons attempting to exert authority, if I were in such a situation. Your mind-set has to flick on to, "hard-ass/hard-core, work with me or die", otherwise, you will be made into "food".
Word to the wise.......
I think we have all learned that when disaster strikes, and government moves in... It's time to move out, FAST!
Can anyone name just ONE good thing that FEMA has done ?
FEMA operates from Executive Order. The goal of FEMA is not to provide aid or comfort to citizens, it is to assess damage of government assests and prioritize the recovery of those assets.
FEMA is NOT the friend of any citizen. They can and will sieze any assets from anyone that they deem necessary for the completion of their mission. They do not follow the US Constitution and operate completely free of its constraints.
Look at the facts of how they operated in the worst natural disaster of this century and come to your own conclusions...
Yes. I have personally...PERSONALLY...observed, and still observe, FEMA doing good things for victims down here. Yes...DOWN HERE. I'm right in the middle of it. I'm not talking about things I've heard 2nd or 3rd hand. I'm talking about things I have personally seen.Originally Posted by HotGunsOriginally Posted by HotGuns
Well, that first part is not exactly accurate. The rest is, however. Of course, that is true of any government agencies. Government, by its very nature, is self protective and continuity of government always comes first.I know many, many citizens who have been helped by FEMA who would disagree. I'm related to some of them. FEMA has helped them immensely in recovery since they lost everything. They are not wealthy, politically connected, or in any way affiliated with the government. And yet "evil, evil FEMA" deigned to help them. Imagine that.Originally Posted by HotGunsThat, to put is simply, is blatently false. They cannot do anything near what you seem to think they can. I have never seen FEMA "confiscate" anything. I have seen them pay tons of your tax money to purchase things, but never without paying. I have, however, seen local cops, state cops, federal cops, sheriff's, mayors, governers, city coucilmen, members of the press, and private citizens confiscate things. This is how rumors and false...yes...FALSE...stories get started. If you believe all of the above, time to buy your tinfoil helmet and start trying to scrub the secret messages off of the back of the highway signs. That way the UN troops will get lost and won't be able to guide in the black helicopters.Originally Posted by HotGunsYes, please do. And before you do, talk to some of us who were actually down here in the middle of everything. Talk to some of us who saw it first hand. Is FEMA perfect? Heck no! In fact, many parts of FEMA are royally screwed up. Most government agencies are. But the vast majority of FEMA employees are decent, caring people who try very hard to help. I cannot tell you how many FEMA employees I have seen who left comfortable homes in other parts of the country and have been living in tents, working 16 hour days, 7 days a week down here trying to help. Yes sirree bob...that there is pure evil. I'm surprised they don't have horns and pitchforks. Those are BAD FOLKS! Do you know who the "boots on the ground" for FEMA are? They are YOUR local fireman and cops. They are the nurses and Docs from YOUR local hospitals. They are the people from YOUR communities who are actually down here VOLUNTEERING their time to try and help people Yeah, buddy...they are bad, bad people. They disgust me. When I see the FEMA folks standing in the sun tomorrow handing out water to people waiting in line for housing assistance, I think I might just stop and tell them how downright evil they are.Originally Posted by HotGuns

Thx Gonzo for an ''on the spot'' perspective - it does help achieve a better balance I have to say.

A different perpective...
Yes. I have personally...PERSONALLY...observed, and still observe, FEMA doing good things for victims down here. Yes...DOWN HERE. I'm right in the middle of it. I'm not talking about things I've heard 2nd or 3rd hand. I'm talking about things I have personally seen.
I spent 3 weeks in Mississippi and came home last Saturday. So yeah....Ive been "boots on the ground".I've seen the devastation and the mess it caused.
Lets talk about FEMA.
Lets talk about the feeling of the folks down South and the many volunteers that went down there that felt like FEMA did more to tie their hands than anything else.
FEMA is a big organization. So big that the left hand dosent know what the right hand is doing. So big that it is slow,inefficient and is about as graceful as a beached whale. Still...for all of its faults, I know and realize that most of the people in FEMA are good people that just want to help. Many of them were completley frustrated at the inefficient way that things were administered...from within...not from without.
The feelings of the many people that I talked to were that FEMA was just another obstacle to be overcome...a work around so to speak.
FEMA thinks that thowing money at anything and everything is a great event worthy of praise and adoration.Like the 300 hundred dollars per person that they gave to anyone in a disaster area. A small token of thier esteem,that many people that did not need it took and many others sqaundered on much needed drinks and drugs.
Thats about the only thing that FEMA did that was mentioned by many people and its about the only thing that will be remembered...other than the miles of house trailers moved in with beds that none could seem to use .
That is the real pity. What could become a great help in a crisis is nothing more than another government org. mired bearucratic BS.
I have never seen FEMA "confiscate" anything.
A few examples...They made line trucks from various power companys ferry them around that could have been restoring power and basically turned them into FEMA taxicabs. They "borrowed" generators that could have been used for running tools to air condition their tents.
No they didnt "confinscate" them. They just indefinaltey borrowed them...a big difference to some people but not much difference if you happen to be the one that had your stuff taken.
And one other thing so as to not be confused...
You can take your black helicopters and tin hat delusions to a different forum.If you want to bow down to the east and worship that gods of FEMA, thats up to you. I'd rather not. What I'd rather see is them learn from their mistakes and see them not repeat them in the future but I have no delusions of any governement organization being capable of doing that.
I went and I saw and I was not impressed.
Perhaps you did not read slowly enough. Try reading my post again. I don't bow down and worship FEMA. The only entity that merits that is God Almighty. He is the only Being you will ever see me "bow down and worship". Exodus 20:3 quite clearly states that we shall have no other god before Him. So, you can "take your 'bow down and worship' to a different forum". Accuse me of pretty much anything you want, but not idol worship.
If you will read again...slowly, this time...you will see that I say, quite clearly, that FEMA is far from perfect. In fact, I specifically state that it is pretty screwed up. I can pull that quote for you if you like. Or highlight it in red with boldface type.
I did not spend three weeks down here and leave. I LIVE here. My family LIVES here. This is home. I AM the "folks down South". My family IS the "folks down South". The people I work with every day ARE the "folks down South".
You pointed out that FEMA throws money at problems and considers them fixed. I agree 100%. I made that exact point in my response. FEMA will pay a ridiculous mark-up (YOUR tax money) on everything they purchase, even in bulk. But in your original post, you indicated that FEMA "can and will" just seize and confiscate everything they want. Buying something at 20% above retail cost is not "seizure" or "confiscation". It is a horrible, wasteful use of our tax money, but it is not seizing and confiscating.
When you make these grand, sweeping accusations about FEMA you are also indicting all the good people that work for FEMA. Let me give you an example. Last week, a local Police Officer was murdered on a traffic stop. As we were making arrangements to go to the funeral, several FEMA firefighters and rescue workers expressed their desire to go. And go they did. On their own time, which they have precious little of, to mourn and honor a fallen Officer they did not know. Why? Because they are good people. Your first post seemed to forget all about those people didn't it? It was simply all about how FEMA was nobody's friend and never helped anyone.
As for the miles of house trailers that "can't be used". Odd...thousands of them are beng used right now. Is it a perfect solution? No, of course not. Did FEMA pay ridiculous amounts of money for the trailers? Yes. But there are currently hundreds and hundreds of people living in them who would not have a roof over their heads otherwise.
FEMA is far, far from perfect. Like most government organizations, FEMA management is too big and too bureaucratic. It is too slow to respond and often trips over itself. That is why the responsibility for protection and survival will ALWAYS truly lay with the individual. That is why Southerners will pull through this...we don't rely on the federal government to make everything better. If you are going through life thinking that the feds are responsible for your protection and rescue, time to think again. FEMA is not going to show up and post armed guards in your front yard to protect you from looters or criminals. Only you can do that. FEMA is not going to show up seconds after a disaster and provide you with food and water. You have to be prepared for that on your own. But none of that means FEMA is evil. It just means that you, as an individual citizen, are ultimately responsible for you and your family. I'm willing to accept that responsbility and move on.
You say, "I went and I saw and I was not impressed.". Well, I was already here, I'm still here and I'm seeing it every day. While the management of FEMA is screwed up and inefficient, most of the people who are actually working in the field are good people trying to help. With them...I am impressed.
PS - We may disagree on just about everything. I don't know you and have no way of knowing. But I will say to you the same thing I say to every other volunteer who has come down here to help. Thank you for your time, your effort, and your concern. It is appreciated and you are in our prayers.

"Skin that smokewagon!".
Our government often appears to be an on-going "Chinese fire drill", even in the best of times. It's not suprising that the response to a disaster of this size was, shall we say...a bit bumpy . Fortunately, they don't get too many oportunities to practice handling rescue and recovery on this scale.
I'm not ready to attribute sinister motives to their response just yet....it's easier to assume that they were simply overwhelmed by the sheer size of the problem. Somehow, we have been conditioned to believe that our FedGov can snap it's fingers and cure any problem, no matter the cost .
"I surrounded 'em"- Alvin York
"They're ain't many troubles that a man can't fix with seven hundred dollars and a thirty ought six"- Jeff Cooper
When I used to have to interface with bureaucrats, the words I dreaded hearing most were; "I'm from the U.S. Government. I'm here to help." This was always said with the best of intentions, but the road to hell is paved with the cobblestones of "good intentions". FEMA, LA and NO, from all I have been able to glean from the hype, hysteria and biased/unbiased reportiing were saddled with the age old problem of trying to solve a problem from 3 different directions. Three different bureaucracies, three different sets of rules, three different levels of paranoia and interagency jealousy, etc. They did the best they could under very difficult circumstances. Let's hope the lesson is learned and a plan for a means to form a coalition is developed.
And, just in case I did not make it clear that, while I do support the FEMA boots on the ground, I am NOT a fan of FEMA management at all, please allow me to post the following article. It is a fine example of the idiocy that takes place inside the Beltway at the FEMA offices. And why they need a good housecleaning.
FEMA Responds Harshly to Armed Arizona Police Escort
Posted: October 4th, 2005 11:15 AM EDT
PHOENIX (AP) -- The Phoenix Fire Department's Urban Search and Rescue team has been suspended from a federal agency because it sent armed police officers to protect firefighters during the recent hurricanes in the Gulf Coast.
At issue is a rule in the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Code of Conduct that prohibits Urban Search and Rescue teams from having firearms.
Phoenix's team that deployed for Hurricane Katrina relief and again for Hurricane Rita included four police officers deputized as U.S. marshals.
The team was credited with plucking more than 400 Hurricane Katrina survivors from rooftops and freeway overpasses in flooded sections of New Orleans.
Phoenix officials now are threatening to refuse some of the most dangerous deployments in the future or possibly even pull out of the federal agency altogether, unless the rules are changed to allow teams to bring their own security, even if that means police with guns.
Assistant Phoenix Fire Chief Bob Khan said his department also is questioning the federal agency's ability to manage working conditions, security and communications.
''Our priority has to be the safety of the firefighters we're sending,'' Khan said.
Phoenix police were added to the team about a year ago, and officials say they are essential to protecting firefighters and FEMA's $1.4 million worth of equipment. Firefighters do not carry weapons.
''This is crazy,'' Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon said Monday. ''This is a rule that was designed before the world changed, pre-9/11. You can't stand on bureaucracy if we're going to protect and save lives, and that's what these teams do.''
FEMA relies on 28 elite teams like Phoenix's across the country to perform specialized rescue operations immediately after terrorist attacks and natural disasters.
After Hurricane Katrina, firefighters faced deployment to areas plagued by looting and lawlessness. Twice, Phoenix's team was confronted by law enforcement officers who refused to let them pass through their communities and told them to ''get out or get shot,'' Gordon said.
Phoenix's team was demobilized unexpectedly on Sept. 26 after members were seen embarking on a helicopter sortie with a loaded shotgun while assigned to help with the aftermath of Rita.
In a letter to Phoenix Fire Chief Alan Brunacini dated Sept. 29, FEMA said Phoenix was placed on ''non-deployment status'' essentially for including armed police on the team without approval.
Gordon has sent a letter to FEMA officials requesting that the Code of Conduct ''be changed from an unrealistic 'No firearms allowed' to a common-sense 'No firearms allowed except for U.S. marshals integrated into the USAR team.'''
"Skin that smokewagon!".
Yo Gonzo...At least we agree on that one...I don't bow down and worship FEMA. The only entity that merits that is God Almighty. He is the only Being you will ever see me "bow down and worship". Exodus 20:3 quite clearly states that we shall have no other god before Him.You are right...I'll admit to being a little harsh. Its not the "little people"that do the work that I have a problem with, its the administrators. As you illustrated in your last post, its the obvious lack of common sense that is displayed on a daily basis when it comes to making decisions that I have a real heartburn with.When you make these grand, sweeping accusations about FEMA you are also indicting all the good people that work for FEMA. Let me give you an example.
Decisions that any 14 year old kid could make seem to be a challenge for them at times. While I'm sure that many may have been overhwhelmed by the sheer magnitude of the destruction that they witnessed , refusing to allow anyone else with ANY resources to help is not only counterproductive, but it is downright wrong...paperwork be damned...
And another thing that makes NO sense...How can it be that FEMA dosent want ANYONE with firearms ? Owners have every right to protect their assest with ANY means nessesary up to and including the use of firearms. Police trying to do their duty are impeded by some FEDS that think they are the only ones that know how to shoot. Not only is it counterproductive and just plain stupid, but it puts more people at risk from the lawless thugs that could care less about FEMA policies or the law itself.In a letter to Phoenix Fire Chief Alan Brunacini dated Sept. 29, FEMA said Phoenix was placed on ''non-deployment status'' essentially for including armed police on the team without approval.
One thing that NO-ONE needs in a SHTF scenario is another ANTIGUN/ANTIPERSONALDEFENSE Federal organization that believes that common people arent smart enough to know how to defend themselves.
Its just another example of putting rules before people at all costs...
and it is making FEMA famous because they are being percieved by good folks as a Liability in a crisis rather than the asset that they are supposed to be.
