There is a T-Shirt revolution underway online. This is Alex Singh's third interview in the series. This time Alex catches up with Peter Lundgren, CEO and Editor in Chief of T-Post whose unique T-Business revolves arround creating graphic t-shirts commenting on news stories sold via subscription. Every month a new T pops through your door just like a newspaper! We hope these interviews will give our readers a complete picture of the first Web 2.0 fashion companies out there. Alex will also set up his own Web 2.0 T-Shirt project the progress of which he'll track on his blog 'Flavour Comes First'.
For the complete set of interviews click the T Shirt Revolution link.
Interview 3 – T-Post
1) We've noticed you're trying to communicate news – are you a fashion brand or are you a media company?
I would say that we are a little bit of both. We use fashion to communicate news.
2) Can you explain the inspiration behind the direction of your business?
A lot of really important stories (big or small) get forgotten amongst all other media buzz and T-posts task, as we se it, is to pic up those stories so people get another chans to discuss them through our T-shirts.
3) What are the ideals behind your product(s)?
We´re trying to fighting for the little guy… and through our eyes reflect on the world as a whole and try to keep a happy face.
4) What keeps you coming back each day rather than calling it quits and doing something else?
I get to make T-shirts about what I believe is important to tell people about (big or small).
5) What was that one inspirational and motivating spark that invigorated you and pushed you over the edge – to go ahead and just "do it"?
It´s always been pretty easy for me to throw myself into projects that I believe in, some crash anburn, others succeed, but if I must name one thing I would say it was the challenge to combine interesting news and fashion that pushed me over the edge.
6) Are there any plans to shake up what you're doing right now? Any plans down the road? Where are you striving to have the business at in the future?
We´ve just gone throue a face lift of T-post product, web page and changed the T-shirt to American Apparel. But down the line I can see that we will have the opportunity for our subscribers to chose a specific genre like for example news specifically about Politics, Sports, Music et.c.
7) From a fashion perspective where does this go?
We always try to come up with new fresh designers that is groundbreaking and is suitable for our story. But in the end it´s all about what we like for the time being. We´re not a slave under the latest trends, but as everybody we cant help from being inspired by them from time to time. If you like what we have done in the past you wont be disappointed. It´s just like listening to a specific movie critic that you know got the same taste of moves as you. And sometimes that critic takes you to movies that you wouldn't have gone to, but afterwards you were glad you did.
8) How about from a media perspective?
We´re just focusing on picking up interesting stories and making nice looking T-shirts. Hopefully people will like them and will tell more people.
9) You've done tees – what is the next thing you're going to develop?
That it´s possible for our subscribers to choose different models for each delivery. It could be that you can get a Tank-top one time and a huddie the next.
10) What current trends have you noticed affecting T-Post?
The growing scale of the intelligent consumer have helped us a lot. They no longer can be fooled by a print campaigning into believing something is cool, that intact have no meaning. They are looking for things that are genuine. People tend to want to have another layer on the things they wear. It could be that "my grandfather wore this jacket in the war" or to wear my favourite band on my T-shirt which will say a bit of who I am.
11) We haven't seen a lesbian or gay couple in your gallery – is this something you'll do the future?*
We have actually that on our schedule. In the beginning we wanted to show that we got both men and women T-shirts, but I think every have realised that now…;)
12) What's the most passionate and invigorating part of the business for you?*
It´s to read our subscribers reactions when they get them in the mail or how they have had adiscussions over a specific issue. Or things like I read on a blog yesterday, that subscribers seem to connect with other subscribers they se on the street, almost as the are part of the same secret club or something.
13) We can't find anyone whom you compete against – who are your
I guess that it´s other T-shirt sites that sell T-shirts over the internet with a thoughtful idea behind the print.
14) Do you plan on giving your customers any control over your business at all?
Yep, our next step is to give all visitors and subscribers a chance to pitch interesting news ideas on the web page.
15) You are very open about your number of subscribers – 822. Whats the philosophy behind this?*
Our idea is to present exactly how many subscribers we have in each country, state and city. We want it to be open to everybody how many els is subscribing in the same city. If we get to many subscribers in one city we are going to apply the bar entrance rule "one out one in". Just to make sure that our subscribers don´t get to meet 20 people on the way to the supermarket wearing the same T-shirt.

Sorority Girl Rebecca Martinson Shows The True Meaning Of Sisterhood By Calling Her Sisters "Retarded"
Ladies and gentleman, meet a real life Regina George, all grown up, and the real, actual, insane vitriolic screed this member of the Delta Gamma sorority at the University of Maryland sent to her fellow sorority sisters. It's not a nice letter, because, as Regina George sees it, the Delta Gamma sisters are so totally fucking it up with their brother frat. The sorority, it turns out, is not about fostering sisterhood amongst its members, but rather, about entertaining the dudes at Sigma Nu.
The sorority's website (which features the rousing music of Phillip Phillips), notes that its "primary purpose is to foster high ideals of friendship, promote educational and cultural interests, create a true sense of social responsibility and develop the finest qualities of character."
And clearly the best way to do that, according to this lovely lady — since identified as Rebecca Martinson — is to call her sisters "retarded" — as in "are you people fucking retarded?" But also! "I do not give a flying fuck, and Sigma Nu does not give a flying fuck," she writes in her missive, "about how much you fucking love to talk to your sisters. You have 361 days out of the fucking year to talk to sisters, and this week is NOT, I fucking repeat NOT ONE OF THEM." Apparently the sisters are not only not entertaining the Sigma Nu bros, but they're also being weird. And as anyone between the ages of five and 40 can tell you, being called "weird" is a terrifying insult, and it makes you "faggots." Witness: "I would rather have 40 girls that are fun, talk to boys, and not fucking awkward than 80 that are fucking faggots."
Well, that settles that.
The undercurrent of this email, of course, is that Regina George is letting the girls of Delta Gamma know that they're not putting out enough for the likes of Sigma Nu. They aren't cheerleader-y enough, aren't outgoing enough to please the frat dudes. And she admonishes the sorority for being so "boring." Because Regina knows that nothing motivates more than insults, she closes the email by saying, "For those of you who are offended at this email, I would apologize but I really don't give a fuck. Go fuck yourself."
Go fuck yourself, indeed, Regina.
The full text of the letter is below.
If you just opened this like I told you to, tie yourself down to whatever chair you're sitting in, because this email is going to be a rough fucking ride.
For those of you that have your heads stuck under rocks, which apparently is the majority of this chapter, we have been FUCKING UP in terms of night time events and general social interactions with Sigma Nu. I've been getting texts on texts about people LITERALLY being so fucking AWKWARD and so fucking BORING. If you're reading this right now and saying to yourself "But oh em gee Julia, I've been having so much fun with my sisters this week!", then punch yourself in the face right now so that I don't have to fucking find you on campus to do it myself.
I do not give a flying fuck, and Sigma Nu does not give a flying fuck, about how much you fucking love to talk to your sisters. You have 361 days out of the fucking year to talk to sisters, and this week is NOT, I fucking repeat NOT ONE OF THEM. This week is about fostering relationships in the greek community, and that's not fucking possible if you're going to stand around and talk to each other and not our matchup. Newsflash you stupid cocks: FRATS DON'T LIKE BORING SORORITIES. Oh wait, DOUBLE FUCKING NEWSFLASH: SIGMA NU IS NOT GOING TO WANT TO HANG OUT WITH US IF WE FUCKING SUCK, which by the way in case you're an idiot and need it spelled out for you, WE FUCKING SUCK SO FAR. This also applies to you little shits that have talked openly about post gaming at a different frat IN FRONT OF SIGMA NU BROTHERS. Are you people fucking retarded? That's not a rhetorical question, I LITERALLY want you to email me back telling me if you're mentally slow so I can make sure you don't go to anymore night time events. If Sigma Nu openly said "Yeah we're gonna invite Zeta over", would you be happy? WOULD YOU? No you wouldn't, so WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO IT TO THEM?? IN FRONT OF THEM?!! First of all, you SHOULDN'T be post gaming at other frats, I don't give a FUCK if your boyfriend is in it, if your brother is in it, or if your entire family is in that frat. YOU DON'T GO. YOU. DON'T. GO. And you ESPECIALLY do fucking NOT convince other girls to leave with you.
"But Julia!", you say in a whiny little bitch voice to your computer screen as you read this email, "I've been cheering on our teams at all the sports, doesn't that count for something?" NO YOU STUPID FUCKING ASS HATS, IT FUCKING DOESN'T. DO YOU WANNA KNOW FUCKING WHY?!! IT DOESN'T COUNT BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN FUCKING UP AT SOBER FUCKING EVENTS TOO. I've not only gotten texts about people being fucking WEIRD at sports (for example, being stupid shits and saying stuff like "durr what's kickball?" is not fucking funny), but I've gotten texts about people actually cheering for the opposing team. The opposing. Fucking. Team. ARE YOU FUCKING STUPID?!! I don't give a SHIT about sportsmanship, YOU CHEER FOR OUR GODDAMN TEAM AND NOT THE OTHER ONE, HAVE YOU NEVER BEEN TO A SPORTS GAME? ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND? Or are you just so fucking dense about what it means to make people like you that you think being a good little supporter of the greek community is going to make our matchup happy? Well it's time someone told you, NO ONE FUCKING LIKES THAT, ESPECIALLY OUR FUCKING MATCHUP. I will fucking cunt punt the next person I hear about doing something like that, and I don't give a fuck if you SOR me, I WILL FUCKING ASSAULT YOU.
"Ohhh Julia, I'm now crying because your email has made me oh so so sad". Well good. If this email applies to you in any way, meaning if you are a little asswipe that stands in the corners at night or if you're a weird shit that does weird shit during the day, this following message is for you:
I'm not fucking kidding. Don't go. Seriously, if you have done ANYTHING I've mentioned in this email and have some rare disease where you're unable to NOT do these things, then you are HORRIBLE, I repeat, HORRIBLE PR FOR THIS CHAPTER. I would rather have 40 girls that are fun, talk to boys, and not fucking awkward than 80 that are fucking faggots. If you are one of the people that have told me "Oh nooo boo hoo I can't talk to boys I'm too sober", then I pity you because I don't know how you got this far in life, and with that in mind don't fucking show up unless you're going to stop being a goddamn cock block for our chapter. Seriously. I swear to fucking God if I see anyone being a goddamn boner at tonight's event, I will tell you to leave even if you're sober. I'm not even kidding. Try me.
And for those of you who are offended at this email, I would apologize but I really don't give a fuck. Go fuck yourself.
Hm, I'm not sure if she really got her point across, you know?
UPDATE: Gawker just posted a response from University of Maryland Delta Gamma prez Rachel Norris, who seems to not understand how the Internet works:
"My name is Rachel Norris and I am the current president of Delta Gamma at the University of Maryland. It has been brought to my attention that you recently published an unsavory email that was sent out over my chapter's list-serve. Is it possible for you to either remove the article or just remove the names "Delta Gamma" and "Sigma Nu" from your article? This email absolutely does not reflect our chapter's values nor Sigma Nu's and any assistance you can give us is greatly appreciated.
Rachel Norris"

I've always been a fan of these "love it or hate it" cars. The 2+2 certainly looked more the part, but the use of the LG4 did it no favors.
If I had deep pockets, I'd go the pro-touring route with a 2+2.

"I know a lot about cars. I can look at a car's headlights and tell you exactly which way it's coming." - Mitch Hedberg ...
Car and Driver did a good write up on these in '86; I forget what issue though, I've got it somewhere. Maybe I'll post it.
Plum gorgeous cars both!
How I miss the '80s.
Present non-Chevy gm fleet: '05 Pontiac Bonneville gxp, '09 Buick Lucerne Super, '11 Caddy DTS platinum.
Big vehicles, big V8s, big V6s, auto transmissions, flamboyant styling, lots o' torque, lots of room, lots of comfort, lots of straight-line speed, yup, that's what I love, PURE AUTO AMERICANA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hidden Content
Most of the 2+2s I've seen had the standard nose instead of the aero nose.
Never cared for either one, although I think the 2+2 looked a little better. The modifications made the trunk virtually useless and the performance was nothing to write home about. An 86 IROC-Z would be a much more fun and useful driver.
Years and years ago, when I was a teenager, I recall seeing a Grand Prix 2+2... I was just starting to get into cars and couldn't figure out what it was... it looked like a Monte Carlo but with Pontiac badges and a Firebird hatch. I was convinced that it was a homemade project, and only years later learned that the Pontiac Grand Prix 2+2 truly did exist.
All 2+2's had the nosecone, so those that you saw may have been ones that were wrecked or they were regular Grand Prixs.Most of the 2+2s I've seen had the standard nose instead of the aero nose.
Never cared for either one, although I think the 2+2 looked a little better. The modifications made the trunk virtually useless and the performance was nothing to write home about. An 86 IROC-Z would be a much more fun and useful driver.
I too was never a big fan of the 2+2 because it never got any kind of engine upgrage, it was using the same 150hp 305 that was under hood of a Caprice Classic. Of the whole set, I rate the Grand National first by a long shot, second the 442, and everthing else third.
I was never a big fan of the Aerocoupe & the 2+2. They looked like what they were, conservatively-designed cars with hastily added aerodynamic add-ons that were incongruous with the basic design language of the g-bodies. I much prefer the regular 'styled with a t-square' g-bodies; there's no false pretense in their styling.
Gone but never forgotten:
1988 Ford Thunderbird Sport
1992 Mercury Sable GS
2004 Honda Accord LX
2007 Hyundai Sonata

The Aero SS and 2+2 were purpose-built homologation "specials" for NASCAR, to overcome the T-Bird's aero advantage on 1.5+mile tracks. The fact that you couldn't get much into the trunk because of its meagre opening was secondary. LG4 was a sad way to power a supposed "high performance" car, a shortcoming Chev avoided with the Aero SS, but putting the L69 in the 2+2 would have required very expensive and time-delaying recertification.
Having owned a 2+2, briefly, and being the original owner, still, of an '87 Regal Turbo-T, there is/was NO comparison in any regard..."wouldn't you really rather have a Buick?!" And a Turbo-T is actually even rarer...
Back in 1991, I me a couple who fawned over their 86 burgundy T-topped MCSS. Never could figure out how they expected it to be a collectors item in the realm of (I'm not making this up) hemi Superbirds.
I liked the regular MCSS well enough. Just wasn't what I was interested in driving back then, and its just an old car to me now.
I bought an overpriced Cutlass Ciera coupe in 86 instead of an Aero Monte.
What was I thinking?

Comeback kids
ALY WAGNER (Los Angeles). Once considered the future playmaking star of the U.S. national team, Wagner has been slowed by injuries and played a supporting role in recent years. A knee injury set her back in her bid to make the 1999 Women's World Cup team. She recovered from a double-hernia operation early in 2008 to win a second gold medal.
CAT WHITEHILL (Washington). Like Wagner a member of the 2004 Olympic gold-medal team, Whitehill wasn't so fortunate four years later. She suffered a knee injury in June 2008 and missed the Beijing Olympics. She has only returned to full action this month.
Pride of Japan
AYA MIYAMA (Los Angeles). Japan's rising star stood out at the 2008 Olympics where she helped lead the Japanese women to the semifinals. She'll be one of the most dangerous players in WPS on free kicks.
HOMARE SAWA (Washington). One of the few foreign stars of the defunct WUSA to return for WPS, Sawa has played in four World Cups for Japan. The 30-year-old Sawa has scored 65 international goals.
Allez les Bleues
CAMILLE ABILY (Los Angeles). The 24-year-old Frenchwoman moved from Montpellier to Lyon in 2006 and helped it win back-to-back French league title. She was part of the OL team that had advanced to the semifinals of the UEFA Women's Cup when she left to join the Sol.
SONIA BOMPASTOR (Washington). Like Abily, the 26-year-old Bompastor joined Lyon from Montpellier. Lyon tried to block their move to WPS. She's captain of the French national team and has played in the 2003 Women's World Cup.
Nittany Lion standouts
CHRISTIE WELSH (Los Angeles). Penn State's only Hermann Trophy winner scored 82 collegiate goals, though she never won a regular spot on the U.S. national team.
JOANNA LOHMAN (Washington). Two years after Welsh won the Hermann Trophy, Lohman was runner-up. She played in recent years for the W-League Freedom and has been working as a vice president of a real estate consulting firm.

BEDFORD: Diehard baseball fans might have to go hungry or pack a lunch today when a new statue of 1963 Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Elmer Flick will be dedicated at noon on the Bedford Commons.
On hand for the ceremony will be the Flick family; Indians President Mark Shapiro, VP Bob DiBiasio and team advisor Mike Hargrove; former Indians pitcher Len Barker and outfielder "Super Joe" Charboneau; Bedford Mayor Dan Pocek; Flick historian Jim Wagner; and the statue's sculptor, Ron Dewey.
A slugging outfielder, Flick was born in Bedford in 1876 and is best known as the player Cleveland management would not trade for a young Ty Cobb.
According to the American Society for Baseball Research (SABR), in 1907, Detroit Tigers manager Hughie Jennings grew tired of his talented but combative young outfielder, Cobb, and offered to trade him to Cleveland for Flick. Charles Somers, the Cleveland president, refused.
In 1905, at the height of Flick's time in a Cleveland uniform, he topped the league in triples (18), slugging percentage (.462), and batting average (.308, which remained the lowest mark for a batting champion until Carl Yastrzemski won the 1968 American League title with a .301 mark) and came in second in on-base percentage (.383).
The following season, Flick led the league in runs (98), triples (22) and stolen bases (39).
Flick's major league career ended in 1910, curtailed by a mysterious gastrointestinal ailment that was never conclusively diagnosed, but he lived into his 90s.
Buried in Crown Hill Cemetery in Twinsburg, Flick posthumously was inducted into the Greater Cleveland Sports Hall of Fame in 1977 and into the Ohio Baseball Hall of Fame 10 years later.
The bronze Flick statue in Bedford will be located within an infield made of light brown pavers. The Elmer Flick Recognition Committee is offering pavers that can be personalized or inscribed in the memory of a loved one for $100 and $50.
For more information, contact SABR Deadball Era Committee member Jim Wagner at email@example.com or the Flick Recognition Committee at www.elmerflick.com.

CBC Host Guest—Stars With Department Of Writing
Popular CBC radio host Jo-Ann Roberts will be stepping out of the broadcast booth and into the classroom as the latest Harvey Stevenson Southam Lecturer in Journalism and Nonfiction with the University of Victoria's Department of Writing.
Roberts will teach a lecture and discussion course called "Public Broadcasting and the Public Good," examining the proud history and somewhat uncertain future of public broadcasting in Canada, and around the world. "Public broadcasting matters to every journalist in this country," Roberts explains. "We keep the bar high, and that means private broadcasters can't go any lower—but the lower we get, the lower their bar goes. As a journalist, you don't have to be working for a public broadcaster to care about it."
A respected journalist with 35 years experience in radio, print and television, the award-winning Roberts has been at the helm of CBC's Victoria-based All Points West for six years, building it into the top-rated afternoon show in the province. "I think I have a pretty broad classroom between 3 and 6 p.m. each day," says Roberts. "Not that I'm out there to teach, but radio is very much a learning environment. You have to engage an audience, give them something they didn't know before, get a good discussion going . . . that sounds like a pretty good class to me."
"We're thrilled to be bringing Jo-Ann to the campus to mentor students and engage the community," says David Leach, Director of Professional Writing. "Jo-Ann is a dynamic personality, with rich and varied experiences, who will be a real inspiration for students and the public alike. The future role of the CBC, in our current political climate and our ever-changing digital media environment, is one of the most urgent and complex issues facing the profession of journalism in Canada."
Roberts is the sixth person to hold the prestigious Southam Lectureship, following Charles Campbell (Georgia Straight), Sandra Martin (Globe & Mail), Jody Paterson (Times Colonist) and authors Richard Wagamese and Terry Glavin. The annual Harvey Stevenson Southam lectureship is made possible by a significant gift from one of the country's leading publishing families. Harvey Southam, a UVic alumnus and journalist, was heir to his family's publishing empire when he died suddenly in 1991.

outdoor kitchen countertop
I'm in the process of finalizing the block placement for my counter top walls shown in the image below. I am wondering what type of structure to use for the counter top. I have considered concrete but have been told that it will crack and not stand up to time/weather. If I use rebar and concrete with fiberglass and pour it like 3" thick, shouldn't that suffice?
My only other idea was to use plywood with wonderboard on top with metal studs every 12" to support the wood. I hate the idea of using wood outdoors.
Yea I would go with what you are thinking. I'm not an expert in this field, but I would be very hesitant to use wood outside. Just my opinion.
Why not tile? You could do a natural stone if this is in a weather protected location and you don't mind sealing. Or you could do a porcelain lookalike. Or a porcelain wood look. Or any of about a thousand different looks. I wouldn't do concrete around any cooking surfaces. It's porous and will absorb grease spatters and other food residue.
BTW, your design doesn't look like it uses the minimum recommended aisle space of 3'. 4' would be better. I'm also not really sure what the two different seating areas are for. Wouldn't it be better to have a single seating area done well than two that are "off"? What are your plans for ventilation for your grill since you show this as being in a covered area? And do you envision yourself actually doing a lot of food prep outside, or will all of the food prep occur indoors and then be carried outside? Because there's precious little space between the sink and cooking zone, and that's where all of the major work will take place.

Former IRS Chief Claims Ignorance In Tea Party Targeting
Posted in the Marne Forum
#1 May 21, 2013
[WASHINGTON (AP) The man who led the Internal Revenue Service when it was giving extra scrutiny to tea party and other conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status told Congress on Tuesday that he knew little about what was happening while he was still commissioner.]
You liberals are dumber than a bag of hammers. You've turned our national health care over to this group of imbeciles.
#2 May 21, 2013
How do they keep their jobs with that kind of performance..... Useful idiots have a tendency to follow these liars......
#3 May 22, 2013
Because the vast majority of Obama voters are ignorant and don't know what IRS even stands for, and the educated progressive radicals actually approve of this kind of unscrupulous tactic against who they consider the enemy. Anything for the cause.
In both cases they are the product of liberalism: radicals and Useful Idiots. There's your fundamental transformation Obama was really referencing.

#4 May 22, 2013
lol. And this coming from a white trash member in good standing? I see you came out again. Must be current again with your lot fees?
#5 May 22, 2013
Chicago style politics at its finest. Did we really expect any different from this administration?
Oh...and if the heads of these agencies don't know what's going on right under their noses (yeah, right!), they need to be fired and replaced with more competent people.
West Bloomfield, MI
#6 May 22, 2013
Seems the administators that are the source of the problems are left over Bush appointees. Imagine that! Yes, O would be wise to fire them all and start anew.
#7 May 22, 2013
And the IRS will be a leading component in implementing Obamacare. People who put ideology and party above ethics and morality, then claim ignorance as an excuse when caught trampling over peoples' rights. Nice group of radicals in control of your personal health coverage, among other things.
That might shoot a thrill up the leg of fellow radical progressives like Chris Mathews, but it doesn't do much for people who see beyond the styrofoam columned Utopian Obama crap.
#8 May 22, 2013
lol, worried about his good standing because he pays his bills........ You are a lost child..... Pay your bills and taxes and you too will see what we are talking about......

Maybe you should actually READ the bill - you know the one that Pelosi DEMANDED it be passed before you could find out what's in it? The IRS has been put in charge of making sure you actually have health insurance and that if you don't, enforce a penalty up to and including jail time for not purchasing your insurance. Oh that and SCOTUS agreed it was a TAX. Who handles TAXES??? hmmmmmm.....
#14 May 22, 2013
Pipe's not answering cuz he's out celebrating Weiner's entering the governor's race. He had to leave early to take pictures.
#15 May 22, 2013
He can't read the bill, it doesn't have pictures and the little man doesn't understand anything that doesn't have pictures. you will have to cite page and section and subsection for Little Napoleon to understand.
#16 May 25, 2013
That's no conspiracy, progressive. I made a factual statement.
Of course the IRS will have a role in Obamacare.
[Obamacare contains no fewer than 18 tax increases, including new taxes on medical devices, insurers, and pharmaceutical companies, to name but a few.[1] According to the most recent estimates, those tax increases will raise revenue by at least $1 trillion over the next 10 yearsfollowed by higher sums in future decades.[2]
Moreover, 12 of the 20 tax increases will affect middle-class families,[3] directly violating Barack Obamas firm pledge to families making under $250,000 per year that he would not raise any of your taxes.]
Your turn, progressive. Prove to us how stating the IRS will play a role in Obamacare is nothing but a false conspiracy theory.
Your baseless insults and attention-seeking antics are entertaining as far as laughing at you goes, but now it's time to prove who's credible here. You have every opportunity to prove how the IRS will play no role in Obamacare. Either prove me wrong, or prove yourself the Useful Idiot moron that I am accusing you of being.
#17 May 25, 2013
I think Pipe's lost for words for once. Remember this joyous moment!
#18 Jun 3, 2013
Pipe wants to see the collapse of this Country....
#19 Jun 6, 2013
dumber than hammers??? hey stupid the guy in the IRS you're talking about was appointed by bush and he is a republican. So whats dumber than a bag of democrat hammers? republicans. hey fools the republican party is scared of the tea party. out of fear they will divide up the party they started this targeting to keep the tea party from destroying their election chances for 2012 and as usual the gop failed. rotflmao
#20 Jun 6, 2013
Amazing is the only word that comes to mind for this post. Amazing that someone hasn't locked you up for being totally gone in the mind. IF the head of the IRS was truly a Republican, then perhaps your "hero" Obama was the stupid one to keep a Republican on board when he is a flaming progressive???? Of course, your "perception" wouldn't allow you to see that since it wasn't done with crayons and pictures.
#21 Jun 7, 2013
And, if that's true, one wonders why the useful idiot progressives here aren't calling for his head instead of supporting everything their government does to violate their rights and invade their privacy?
Things that make you go 'hmmmm.....'....

Barbour Jackets - Men'sThe Barbour waxed cotton jacket or coat is quintessentially redolent of English country living. Since 1894 Barbour has been setting the standard in a stylish and understated manner, immensely practical, comfortable and comfortingly traditional in appearance and feel.
Fitting over a smart business suit as readily as they slip on over a sweater or flannel shirt for walking the dog. Barbour jackets are owned and worn by people from all walks of life and of all kinds of lifestyles from farmers to poachers to lawyers to royalty. They are an investment that lasts for years and like all classic garments will look as stylish in 10 years as they do today, better actually as they gain experience and provenance with you.
Barbour Wax Cotton materials are all manufactured exclusively to a unique specification. The material is made from finest 100% long staple Egyptian Cotton and is treated with special oil and wax to ensure it is totally wind and waterproof. It is available in heavy or medium weight finishes and can easily be reproofed.
I purchased my first Barbour in 1990, have worn it in conditions ranging from Chicago blizzards, Tokyo typhoons, pub crawls through London. I own no other garment that so perfectly fuses sentimental attachment, functionality and timeless style. I intend to be buried in it. - Orvis customer

The Nikkei 225 average rose sharply Wednesday and ended above 15,000 for the first time in more than 64 months, thanks mainly to the weaker yen.
The Nikkei closed 337.61 points, or 2.29 percent, higher at 15,096.03, its best closing level since Dec. 28, 2007. On Tuesday, the key market gauge dropped 23.79 points.
The Topix rose 22.05 points, or 1.79 percent, to end at 1,252.85, the highest finish since Aug. 29, 2008. It declined 1.40 points Tuesday.
The TSE got off to a strong start, led by mainstay export-oriented issues, after the U.S. Dow Jones industrial average rewrote its all-time closing high Tuesday and the yen fell past 102 to the dollar again.
The Nikkei rose more than 350 at one point before easing somewhat on profit-taking.
But buying concentrated mainly on some mainstay shares, including high-performing exporters, while small capital stocks and companies whose earnings fell short of market expectations met with selling, brokers said.
In addition, "a surge in Japanese long-term interest rates prompted selling of real estate shares, which had led the market's rally earlier," said Kenichi Hirano, adviser and market analyst at Tachibana Securities Co.
The Nikkei has gained more than 70 percent since mid-November, when Yoshihiko Noda dissolved the Lower House for a snap election.
The rally has accelerated recently amid growing expectations of an improvement in corporate earnings after the yen's fall past 100 to the dollar.
"As the yen's recent drop was due to expectations of a U.S. economic recovery, whether the Nikkei average will rise further depends on U.S. business sentiment, said Mitsushige Akino, chief fund manager at Ichiyoshi Asset Management Co.
Despite the indexes' gains, losers far outnumbered winners 1,011 to 635 in the first section, while 65 issues were unchanged.
Yield hits 13-month high
Japanese government bonds fell Wednesday on the back of the stock market rally, with the key 10-year yield rising to a 13-month high.
In interdealer trading in cash JGBs, the yield on the latest 328th 10-year issue with a 0.6 percent coupon soared to 0.920 percent, the highest level since April 26 last year, before coming down to 0.855 percent in late trading, still up from 0.845 percent late Tuesday.

Outstanding in the Field
A good friend of mine recently introduced me to Outstanding in the Field, an amazing concept "restaurant" if you will that I find completely inspiring, especially since I've started growing some of my own food. Their mission is "to reconnect diners to the land and the origins of their food, and to honor the local famers and food artisans who cultivate it". Each event takes place on a ranch, at sea, a farm, or winery and everything you eat celebrates the local resources, which is prepared by an accomplished chef. The Outstanding in the Field Bus travels to incredible destinations and serves fresh food on artfully designed long tables. Check out their schedule to see if they're heading to a town near you. Wouldn't you love to attend one of these dinners?? This definitely holds inspiration for my first gig in SF…more details to come on that! Have a great weekend!

Barry and I went to an OITF dinner last year in Carpinteria, it was awesome! Phenomenal food, great wine, great people and great education. It's nice to know exactly where your food is coming from. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it, especially if you make a weekend of it.September 19, 2011
I've heard it's pricey, but well worth the experience. Can't wait to attend a dinner!September 19, 2011

Talking Points for Local Leagues
Talking to the media about the Little League's® 75th Anniversary
If a reporter wants to talk with you about Little League's® 75th Anniversary, here are some questions you might get asked, and responses to those questions. If at any time a reporter needs more detail, please have them get in touch with Little League Director of Media Relations, Brian McClintock: firstname.lastname@example.com; 570-326-1921, ext. 2252.
How did Little League get started?
In 1938, Carl E. Stotz was playing backyard baseball with his nephews when he had the idea to give those boys the opportunity to play an organized game of baseball on a field that was sized for them, with equipment that was built for them and against their peers with actual rules. Mr. Stotz started working with the local community in Williamsport, Pa., and with parents and volunteers coming together, they formed three teams. On June 6, 1939, the first official Little League game was played in Williamsport, which is still the home of Little League today.
How has Little League grown?
Throughout Little League's first 10 years, it was largely played locally, in the greater Williamsport, Pa. area. After World War II, Little League began growing, with its first World Series being played in 1947. The organization then expanded internationally, and in 1957, the first team from outside the United States, Monterrey, Mexico, won the Little League World Series. As baseball and softball developed, so has Little League. In 1974, the organization launched its softball division. In 1989, the Little League Challenger Division® was created to give children with physical and developmental challenges the opportunity to play baseball and softball. There are nine divisions of play that all culminate in their own World Series, played throughout the United States every summer. What started as a group of 30 children playing baseball in Williamsport 75 years ago has grown to 2.4 million boys and girls playing Little League Baseball and Softball in 83 countries.
What makes Little League special?There is a reason that the organization has been so successful for so long. Its emphasis on community and volunteers make it a great social activity not only for the children playing, but also the adults and parents who are watching games, coaching teams and dedicating their time to enhancing the Little League experience. From a cost aspect, Little League strives to keep the fees associated with being an official Little League low. Through decades of research, our safety measures to protect our children on-field and off are unparalleled. The core values of leadership, citizenship, sportsmanship and teamwork are invaluable for our children, while enhancing the fabric of our community.

Lemos family
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Lemos)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Lemos family was a prominent Greek ship owning family which has been involved in shipping since the 18th century. From 1860 to 1914 the family owned 52 vessels.
Historical highlights[edit]
- In 1905, Capt. Christos M. Lemos was co-owner and first Master of the Marietta Ralli, which Greek shipping lore has commemorated as the first steamship owned by seafarers from Oinousses, one of the country's foremost maritime islands.
- In recognition of their contribution to the war effort, the family was a recipient of one of the famous 100 Liberty Vessels [1][2][3] which restored the fortunes of the Greek merchant fleet in the aftermath of the Second World War.
- Another touchstone of family pride is Capt. Leon C. Lemos, founder of Efploia Shipping, one of the most renowned Greek shipowners in the 1970s and 1980s.
- After selling off 15 of his 17 vessels in 1980 just prior to the crash, Capt. Lemos re-entered the market in 1985 while conditions were still at a low ebb, ordering a series of 10 bulkers from Hyundai Heavy Industries.
- Even though most of the Lemos family still live in Greece, a substantial amount now reside in multi-million pound houses in London's Mayfair and St. John's Wood Districts.

text: William Roache likely to return to Coronation Street in second half of 2014 The veteran actor was found not guilty of all sexual assault charges - but it's expected to be several months before Ken Barlow will re-appear on the ITV soap Comments Written By Paul Jones 2:22 PM, 06 February 2014 William Roache's return to Coronation Street following his acquittal on sexual assault charges is likely to take place over a period of several months rather than a matter of days or weeks. After being cleared of all charges today, Roache, 81, who has played Ken Barlow on the ITV soap for over 50 years, said "I want to get back to work". But while ITV subsequently released a statement saying "We look forward to talking to Bill soon about his return to work", it is understood that the actor is unlikely to appear on Coronation Street again until the second half of 2014. The soap is currently filming episodes set for transmission in April, with storylines already written that will take it up to July. That means Ken's return would have to be planned for some point after that. Coronation Street bosses are thought to be keen to ensure that any plotline provides a credible reason and timescale for the character to return from his trip to Canada, where he is looking after his grandson Adam Barlow following Adam's collapse at work. The explanation for Ken's absence was revealed in July 2013, two months after Roache's last appearance on Coronation Street. The actor was arrested on 1 May. Prior to his acquittal today, he had been on trial at Preston Crown Court since 14 January. Speaking outside the courtroom, Roache said: "In these situations there are no winners and I think we should all be a lot kinder to ourselves. Now, if you'll excuse me, I want to get back to work."

So the Dyno session is done and I am pretty happy with the results. There were no expectations on massive top end numbers but rather that we had power almost anywhere in the rev-range.
Low boost setup is around 0.75Bar through the revs.
Max HP is 442 and the car is basically at 440hp at 6000rpm
Max Torque is 431ftlbs (580nm) but at below 4000rpm.
Dyno sheet:
High boost setting is climbing to 1.2Bar at max torque, then dropping to about 1.0Bar at the high rpm's. Reason for this is the buildup of backpressure and the turbos run out of breath. Also, the torque had to be limited to below 500ftlbs because the clutch started slipping, even with a clutch that is supposed to be rated 700nm.
Max HP is 488.1hp (or 490) at 6300rpm (rev limiter set at 7200rpm)
Max Torque is limited to 489.4ftlbs but delivered at c.a. 3.700rpm!
At 3000rpm the car is making more power now that it did at the redline when it came out of the factory

Sony's Two New Compact Cameras
June 27, 2013
On the tails of Fuji's new X-series announcement, Sony has some compact news of its own—in the form of two additions to it's premium line: the RX1/R and the RX100 II. This expands its Cyber-shot RX-line to four cameras. On our sister publication, PDN, Theano Nikitas writes:
The RX1/R is identical to the current 24 megapixel, full-frame RX1 but is designed for optimal resolution (hence, the "R" designation). In order to achieve high resolving power, Sony has removed the optical low pass filter (OLPF), a practice that has become more common with cameras like the Nikon D800E and Fuji's X-series premium fixed lens models. Sony suggests that the RX1/R will appeal to landscape photographers and other pros who want and need the highest resolution (and sharpness) possible.
While the RX1/R is positioned to emphasize resolution, the RX100 II's strengths are based around low light capabilities. Like the RX1/R, this smaller camera is, in many ways, a clone of its current 20 megapixel sibling.
Other notable new features include built-in Wi-Fi, Smart Remote Control functionality and NFC (Near Field Communication). NFC allows connectivity and transfer of data by touching one NFC-enabled device to another and the technology is now making its way into digital cameras (announced in May, the Samsung NX2000 is also NFC-enabled). At this point, it's easier to find an NFC smartphone than an NFC digital camera but as manufacturers try to regain marketshare lost to mobile photography, we may see NFC implemented on additional camera models in the near future.
Both models now offer Triluminous color support for compatible Bravia TVs and will be available in July.

We have verified this property. We are still working on having the Landlord's contacts and documents fully verified.
Getting Around
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

Kalimpong, Aug. 27: A Kalimpong primary teacher with his government pay, and a bit of charity from the church and his family runs a school for 121 poor children and shelter for destitute kids.
Om Bahadur Rai cannot buy cooking gas to feed the 54 destitutes who stay in his shelter, the Ashadip Charitable Trust. So he moved his shelter to a place where firewood is easily available.
"I started the home in January 2010 and the school a month later. By the end of the year, there were 46 children in the home," said the 38-year-old assistant teacher of Upper Dalapchand Primary School in Pedong, 20km from Kalimpong.
He said 75 per cent of the students do not pay fees. Fifty-four of the 121 students stay in the shelter. The rest, who come from their own homes, pay a nominal amount.
"Education, health (facilities), clothes and food are accessible only to those who can afford them. I wanted to provide all these to as many poor children I possibly could," said Om, who has four daughters. One of them, 15-year-old Vijeta, is adopted.
Rai started the shelter and the school from two buildings at Pedong Bazar that he inherited from his grandfather.
"As the number of children in the school and the home grew, I had to sell the land which also I had inherited," he said. "I sold the plot for about Rs 12 lakh to meet the initial cost of the two establishments," he said.
The shelter was later shifted to Pedong from Pedong Bazar, 2km away.
"The main problem was water. Water scarcity becomes a big problem in the dry season. The other reason (to shift the shelter to Pedong) was that I couldn't afford to buy cooking gas to prepare food for so many children. At Pedong, there is no problem of water and firewood is easily available," he said.
A part of the money comes from the church and two of his sisters. "The local church gives me Rs 5,000-6,000 every month and two of my sisters give me Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 every month," he said.
Whatever extra cash he needs, he has to take from his salary. Wife Tripti, 34, also contributes from what she earns by running a paying guest accommodation.
Rai said, of late, local people had helped him a bit. "I am grateful to the people who have come forward to help me. It is getting increasingly difficult to run the two places, but I will persevere," he said.
His school Little Angels has classes from nursery to VI. There are 11 teachers and one non-teaching member in the staff. Their salaries add up to Rs 25,000 a month, which is nearly Rs 6,000 more than his government pay.
The shelter is a wood and bamboo house where children either sleep in bunk beds or share space in the larger ones ' two-three in one bed.
They get three meals and clothes and seemed a happy lot.
"I feel good here. I can play, go to school and study," said 12-year-old Pravin Bhujel, a student of Class V from Upper Fagu, bordering Dooars.

Help: Transmission ID
Need help identifying 2 transmissions:
#1 is a TH350. I got it off Craigslist Seattle for really cheap. It came out of a 75 Camaro. I can't see any 7 digit casting # but it has a white bar code sticker that says 9TX and the only other # I saw was MV4 on the pass. side of the tranny. It also has a green wire coming out of a connector on the side of the tranny. Reverse lamp switch? This is a great looking tranny.
The other is a Saginaw. A few of the gears are broken. It cost me $80 + shipping on ebay. Casting #3915032. GM2. I can get other ID info on this but it will take me a couple hours to get to it if it's needed. The tailshaft is #3880042 or 3860042. The casting of the # isn't very clear.
I was going to use either of these in my project car.. but I need the ID info on it.
http://www.dandltransmission.com/saginaw.html has Saginaw ID info. Count the annular rings (if any) around the splined area of the input shaft, and you can get the internal gear ratios from the chart.
If the vacuum modulator is on the passenger's side near the bell, then it's a TH400. The wire would then be passing gear kickdown.
Well, I looked at it again, and there are #'s on the valve body (8641043 amd 8640996) and one stamped into the main casting where it meets the engine on the drivers side, down near the pan, This one is: 22808120245 (the first 2 looks to be doublestamped in error. And, the 0 is a partial stamp, only the left side got stapmed. This a Vechicle ID #?
The round domed thing is on the L (Drivers Side). The thing in the round hole is on the R (Pass. Side)
Somone took the filter out so, I couldn't tell you the filter #.
There's a # on the seal near the shaft. 1243395.
There's also a little teeny wire rod poking through the housing which is connected to a mech on the valve body.
More info on the Saginaw later on.
Trans ID
Try this
1 Aluminum Powerglide 14 bolts
2 TH200 Metric 11 bolts
3 TH350 13 bolts
4 TH400 13 bolts
5 TH200-4R 16 bolts
6 TH700-R4, 4L60, 4L60E 16 bolts
7 4L80E 17 bolts
Info from Link to website
See also Second web site: The dropbox contains Camaro transmission codes. What SHOULD have been installed, or what was offered for the year selected. Will need to scroll down the page a good bit
transmission ID Web site
Well, according to that photo, it looks like #3 and has 13 bolts that I took out with a 1/2 or 13mm socket.
Know anyone that makes replacement gears for the Saginaw?

So far, photographers can't capture images for sports competitions so close, specially if they were in the sea. They had to try a very risky adventure, careless of all the basics of safety procedures!!
In such events you're just a call away from the success. Our team will use the "ShortRange Star", which is a 1m small UAV to shot a film or photographs in excellent quality with NO risks at all. Furthermore the Audience will enjoy a fully views. "Yawing" is only one of many features available..
For Touristic Authorities & Real Estate Corporates we offer unmatched Aerial Photography possibilities. Our UAV's can perform very special tasks in the air, like: Looping based on its own axis (Yawing) while flying in any direction or getting very close to any building/tower with high accuracy using the signals of 12 satellites, which is not applicable for any other small or big helicopters.
The result: A short video clip can have a big effect in your business.
This is a situation in Abu Dhabi/UAE where we can improve the traffic control very well. Not only this, we've developed a specific model of our "ShortRange Stars" to offer:
5 minutes maximum reaching time to any point in the city, direct two ways speaking with the people (drivers) & HD filming + Photography in 18 MP quality from a height of just 10m. This way we can reduce the stocking of the streets in case of an accident waiting to be reported.
Aerial Photography can help effectively in this section. We give the access to view it as never before & as much as you wish. You don't need to wait for a very expensive process mostly done once a year.
Further we do a lot of tasks for you: IR & Near IR Surveys, Marshes Detection, Average Wildlife Statistics.
You'll achieve more than you expect. Some experts compare it with X-Ray medical possibilities, but we offer Municipalities and Planning Departments a lot more: Environmental & Economical Thermal Mapping, Aerial Thermography, Leaks Detections, Underwater Plants Detection…
We are using here the top of the range equipments from #1 in the world "FLIR" with their software or our in house developed special applications.
We realize a combination of a group of services in one hand. Offered here are not only the IR & Near IR Surveys and the Thermal Mapping. But we offer as well:
Gas & Dust Pollution Detection, Water Pollution Detection, Risky Land & Water Sampling.
Example: A small UAV can fly to a certain Factory chimney and make several measurements fully discrete and even without affecting the exhaust stream, which a big helicopter doesn't perform.
Starware is proud to announce the cooperation with GIS Qatar, in order to perform the best Aerial Photography ever for Doha Heart in a resolution of 2 cm/pixel. We use here our in house developed software, which can give a complete view of a whole city in one big image, where we can also ignore the curvature of earth because of the high accuracy. The mission will be accomplished within September 2011 after getting the local needed security permissions.
We'll offer the same services for the whole GCC very soon isA.
Starware is proud to announce the cooperation with GIS Qatar, in order to perform the best Aerial Photography ever for Doha Heart in a resolution of 2 cm/pixel. The mission will be accomplished within September 2011 after getting the local needed security permissions.
A new branch for Starware is launched in Alain/UAE on 24th April 2011. The main task of this branch is to increase the activities of Starware in the United Arab Emirates, specially in the field of "Oil Industry & Military Applications".
Starware is now a partner of Extreme Networks, which is well known as a pillar of the wireless technology in the world. This step is one of some major alliances intended by the entry phase from our new branch in the market of UAE & GCC.
Our flight trainer is now in Dubai to execute some tasks regarding the new activities in the UAE. He'll give some seminars & training courses for our team on site. A direct contact to all of our teams in Starware is one of our success policy.

Hey people(s)
For some reason, I can't connect to any wireless networks. Airmon-ng and everything else works fine, I can see the networks, and so on, but can't connect via Wireless Assistant.
I could connect fine before, but for some reason, it just won't connect. Now WPA_supplicant is whining, and my WPA network says its WEP :S.
I plugged in a USB (802.11 b/g, WEP only) WiFi dongle, works fine, but cannot connect to any networks, although I can see them. I also can't delete Wireless network settings, again from Wireless Assistant.
BTW, I'm using BT3.
Thanks alot, I appreciate any help

A Second Look: Garver Predicts Walk-Off Homer
June 28, 2012
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Legend says that in the fifth inning of Game 3 in the 1932 World Series against the Chicago Cubs, Babe Ruth pointed to the center-field bleachers and called his shot.
Well, on May 15, 2012, in the bottom of 11th inning against New Mexico State, University of New Mexico catcher Mitchell Garver did the same.
Sort of.
With the score tied at 10 apiece, a runner on first, and facing an 0-2 count, Garver blasted a walk-off home run to defeat the Aggies and snap the Lobos' five-game losing streak against their in-state rivals.
But it was what happened before the inning started that truly stood out in Ray Birmingham's mind.
"(He) came up to me right before that last at-bat and he said, `Do you want to see a walk-off?' I said, 'I sure do,'" the UNM head coach said. "How about that? He called it."
There was no finger pointing, or any type of theatrics by the junior catcher for that matter, but it was still prescient nonetheless.
Garver said he looked at two sliders inside before deciding to attack a third that was low, but more to the middle of the plate.
"The third one was a slider that was low and I kind of golfed it out of the yard," he said. "I can't believe it got out. I just swung at it and blacked out (running) around the bases. It felt great."
The home run capped a fantastic game by the two sides. The Aggies jumped out to an early 4-0 lead before the Lobos came back to take a 7-4 lead of their own.
After NMSU tied the game at seven in the seventh, the teams matched scoring with two in the eighth and one in the ninth to send the game to extra innings and set the stage for Garver's heroics.
In an incredibly even game, each team knocked out 17 hits and each staff used seven pitchers. In the end, though, it took the foresight of the Lobo's catcher from Albuquerque to make the difference and give UNM its first victory over NMSU since Mar. 10, 2010.
It was only one win out of 37 for the Lobos in 2012, but it was definitely one of the most exciting and certainly one of the most satisfying.
It also was just one highlight out of many for Garver last season as he earned Co-Mountain West Player of the Year honors with teammate DJ Peterson and was named to four All-America teams.
He was also named one of three finalists for the Johnny Bench Award, which is given annually to the best catcher in the country. It will be presented Thursday night at the 15th Annual Greater Wichita Sports Banquet. Johnny Bench recently talked to the MLB Network about Garver and the award. You can view the video here.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > Leadership Lessons From the Front Lines: Harvard Honors Military Veterans
Stories of heroism, courage and honor resonated throughout the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum Tuesday night as Harvard paid special tribute to some 100 Kennedy School and Harvard Business School military veterans from combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The evening began with a Forum discussion, "Leadership Lessons from the Front Lines," co-moderated by U.S. Army Lt. Colonel Frederick Wellman MC/MPA '07 and David Gergen, director of the Kennedy School's Center for Public Leadership, and concluded with a reception and dinner highlighted by a keynote address delivered by Lt. General Douglas E. Lute MPA '93, director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
"At a time when the country is engaged in an increasingly divisive war, it is nonetheless true that in this war, very much unlike the Vietnam War, we are showing a better side about thanking people for service and we are continuing to salute our veterans in important ways, and that is one of the reasons we thought it was so important to be here tonight to join in that spirit of saying thank you for service," Gergen told the standing-room-only audience during his introductory remarks.
Each of the Forum panelists reflected on their personal experiences in combat, and the leadership lessons they learned.
"As you're coming up through the ranks and certainly being trained as a junior leader, you are continually reminded that leadership by example is one of the most powerful tools in your kit bag, and going out there and demonstrating how something is done and showing your soldiers what right looks like is amazingly powerful. You certainly learn it to the greatest degree under the most dire of circumstances," said Joseph Ewers MBA '07, who served as an Army infantry company commander in Iraq.
"You get to a place where you would do anything for the guy on your left or the gal on your right because you know they would do anything for you," said Maura Sullivan MPA2 '09, a former Marine Corps captain who served in Iraq.
Oscar Hall, a Kennedy School National Security Fellow who served as an Army battalion commander in Iraq, commented on the importance of training in building an effective military force.
"We have transitioned from the days of one size fit all, where soldiers were trained only to do one specific thing, to training those soldiers to be proficient and lethal among a wide variety of skills. Those soldiers must have a variety of tools in their tool bag that they can reach upon to help them deal with a problem," he said.
Daniel Wagner MPA '02, who was injured in combat while serving in the Marine Corps in Iraq, said that the modern-day soldier must learn from his mistakes, learn to adapt to a variety of circumstances, and be bold. "The hardest thing I had to do was maintain the balance between reconstruction and stabilization focusing on the population, while taking such casualties in such a violent situation. That was hard."
Wellman, who served as a public affairs officer with the U.S. Army in Iraq, recounted the positive responses he heard from civilians who welcomed American-led reconstruction efforts. "The number one request I received in every village was to build a school," he said. "I carried soccer balls everywhere I went. You want to see smiles? Hand a soccer ball to a kid!"
Following the Forum discussion, the Center for Public Leadership hosted a reception and dinner for the veterans and their partners at the Charles Hotel.

Sometimes, a watch has more than one face or 'look'. It is all in the eye of the beholder ofcourse, but the photos below support this comment really well 🙂
If you look at your watch from different angles or when being in different locations, it can become a watch with a totally different look. The first photo below show the Ingenieur being this raw, rugged tool watch and the second photo shows this fine shiny sophisticated timepiece that refers to the first GG designs from the mid-1970s. To me, these photos demonstrate that this watch is suited for casual as well as more formal occasions. A Rolex Sea-Dweller (or Milgauss? :)) and Yacht-Master in one so to speak. The photos have been taken by Cinq, visitor of the IWC forum at TimeZone.

The Deal
- Men's Invicta Russian diver watches starting at $69
- Click here to view an image of and specifications for each option.
- Free shipping and free returns
Men's Invicta Russian Diver Watches
In 2012, Invicta celebrated its dodransbicentennial—a rare word for a rare occasion. For 175 years, the Invicta name, which means "invincible" in Latin, has branded finely crafted Swiss timepieces designed to outlive their wearers. This philosophy was conceived of by the company's founder, Raphael Picard, who in 1837 assembled tiny gears, springs, and cogs by hand to create high-quality timepieces at reasonable prices. Today, Picard's ancestors maintain a "hands-on" approach with every watch they produce within their privately owned and operated facility.
Invicta's time-tested craftsmanship goes into each of their high-end diver watches. The timepieces bear eye-fetching accents such as stainless-steel cases and luminous hour and minute hands; some styles have a calendar or chronograph feature. True to their namesake, the watches can function at depths of up to 330 feet, or the exact depth one must swim to grow a mermaid's tail.
- Sophisticated watches complement casual and formalwear
- Accents include luminous hour and minute hands
- Powered by Japanese chronograph quartz movement, Swiss quartz movement, or a rapidly spinning hamster wheel
- Secure buckle clasps
- Stainless-steel cases
- Water resistant in depths up to 330 feet

Breaking News: Cole Porter's CAN-CAN Headed Back to Broadway in Spring 2014 with Revised Book; Workshop This Fall
Just announced is news that the Cole Porter classic, Can-Can, will kick up its heels in a new production to land on Broadway in Spring 2014. Presented by Jonathan Burrows, nephew of the musical's original book writer Abe Burrows, the new production features a revised book by David Lee (Two By Two and Gigi at Reprise, TV's "Frasier" and "Cheers") and Joel Fields (How I Fell in Love at Abingdon Theatre Company, TV's "Ugly Betty" and "Raising the Bar"). Lee directs the production, featuring choreography byPatti Colombo (Peter Pan) and musical direction by Tony Award nominee Steve Orich (Jersey Boys). Prior to the Broadway production, a workshop will take place in New York in October 2013. Casting has yet to be confirmed.
With a score featuring some of Porter most timeless classics including "I Love Paris," "C'est Magnifique," and "It's All Right With Me," Can-Can is the story of Pistache, the only café owner in Paris who dares to features the scandalous and illicit Can-Can dance. Will her defiance of the law be end of both her café and her chance for love?
Can-Can was first presented at Broadway's Shubert Theatre in 1953 by legendary producers Cy Feuer and Ernest H. Martin. The musical made an over-night sensation of Gwen Verdon. A 1960 film adaptation starred Shirley MacLaine, Frank Sinatra, Maurice chevalier and Louis Jourdan.
When this new version of Can-Can was first presented at The Pasadena Playhouse in 2007, co-author and director David Lee commented "My mentor and good friend James Burrows is the son of Abe. When I mentioned gingerly to him that I was intrigued with trying to work on his dad's show, he was encouraging. Happily, the Cole Porter estate also gave us permission to try out a new approach. The new book is about 80% percent new - but almost all of Abe's original characters remain. For historical flavor we added a few characters of our own that were actual performers at the Moulin Rouge. Rather than a 'rewriting' of the show, Joel and I like to think of this version as a 're-setting'-as you might a piece of jewelry - polishing up the gems Porter and Burrows left us."
Cole Porter (Music & Lyrics) was born in Peru, Indiana, in 1891. He graduated from Yale, where his football songs are still popular. After the failure of his first Broadway show, he lived in Europe, where he married legendary beauty Linda Lee Thomas. Returning to New York in the late 1920s he gained renown for many great songs, including "Night and Day," "Begin the Beguine," "You're the Top" and "I Get a Kick Out of You." His 1930s were highlighted by such Broadway offerings as Anything Goes, Gay Divorce and Jubilee. A crippling riding accident in 1937 left him in constant pain, yet he continued to write memorable scores, among them Can-Can, Silk Stockings and his masterpiece, Kiss Me, Kate. He died in 1964.
