Porter changes tack
"I had the issue of why does [my character] have to be a topless
barmaid?" ... Susie Porter.
Photo: Marco del Grande
On a wintry afternoon, Susie Porter moves through a Kings Cross cafe like a warm front. She coos over a baby, greets a waiter affectionately and fusses over a Staffordshire terrier sitting beneath a table. One of the country's gutsiest actresses settles at an outdoor table where she can smoke - a habit she has had since she was an 11-year-old tomboy in Newcastle.
"I feel so heavy-headed today," she sighs. "Just those heavy eyelids and not quite ..."
For a photo shoot, that is far from obvious. Porter stretches like a cat and smoulders in front of the camera. She becomes that warm, sexy actor with a working-class edge that has been her forte since breaking into films in the anarchic western suburbs comedy Idiot Box.
In Two Hands, she was a tough-but-caring mum who was wise to the Sydney crime world. In the The Monkey's Mask, she was a lesbian private detective. Playing a passionate artist, then a dressmaker who seemed quite content without clothes, she put the sex into Feeling Sexy and Better Than Sex.
As well as Bootmen and Mullet, there was a brief part as a waitress in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and television roles in Wildside, The Secret Life of Us, Britain's Silent Witness and Remote Area Nurse.
Sandra Sciberras, who directed the new Australian film The Caterpillar Wish, says Porter always looks gorgeously earthy on screen. "Her look can change so dramatically. She can look like this glamour queen on one level and - I don't mean to swear - this really hard-arse, working-class girl on the other. She's got a real versatility physically."
The Caterpillar Wish is an evocative drama set in a coastal town where everyone has a secret. Porter plays Susan, the feisty mother of a teenage daughter, played by Victoria Thaine, who is desperate to discover the identity of her father.
Estranged from her own parents, Susan is a topless barmaid who claims the girl's father was a stranger passing through town. But the daughter digs deeper, inflaming the simmering tensions in the town.
Porter says she tried to dodge the topless scene but the filmmakers wouldn't budge. "I had the issue of why does it have to be a topless barmaid?" she says. "They had the feeling that it gave the parents - Susan's mum and dad - a reason to be aggressive with her and not like her. But I still don't like it."
The NIDA graduate laughs at how her film career has developed. "If I was a kid and thought there'll be a small window in Australian film where I'll be called upon to do sexy roles, I'd probably laugh," she says. "I certainly didn't plan it that way.
"Then I suddenly thought 'Shit, do they have that impression because I'm willing to take my clothes off, even though I can't bear it?' I just don't know."
According to Sciberras, going topless in The Caterpillar Wish was important because Porter's character was confident about her body. "It's something a lot of women wouldn't do so it makes you think and challenge what you think about women like that."
She adds that Porter quickly overcame her reluctance on the day. "You do anything when you're in your early 20s. You don't think about it. Then you become self-conscious and you start thinking about things.
"I think Susie's just going through that period where she thinks 'I don't want to take my clothes off any more'. But for our film it was important and it was shot in a way that she could easily get away with it. She was fine, just had to be reminded on the day that it was me directing her not a bunch of googly eyes, and just go with it."
Porter says she was always a bit of a class clown - a performer as well as a tomboy - but was never driven about pursuing an acting career.
"I always wanted to either sing or act in movies or do theatre. But I didn't actually start doing that until I left school. I was more focused on sport, I suppose. That's where I kind of achieved more, being a good runner and swimmer.
"It just kind of happened that I left school, went to university and studied a BA and majored in drama. Then I found myself doing so many plays and working in a bar at night to pay rent. It was never about the essays. It was never about the degree. It was about getting plays put on. I did about 20 plays in four years."
After a period when she seemed to be in most Australian films and was nominated three times for Australian Film Institute awards, Porter spent almost three years trying her luck in London. After she returned for Remote Area Nurse, she described it as a tough experience but now backs away from that description. "I wasn't making a lot of money but, growing-wise for me, it was huge," she says. "That's why you can't always be focused on your work and how much work you're getting. If spiritually you're empty, none of it matters anyway."
Porter says the trip helped her become independent - "living on my own and being single, doing things that I had to do to make money that I'd never done before [such as] making jewellery, selling vintage clothes and all these great things". Less-inspiring standby jobs mentioned in interviews at the time, such as market research and selling business shirts, are now forgotten.
As a second coffee arrives from that won-over waiter, Porter talks about becoming more spiritual.
"I suppose I've had to try to live a more spiritual life because, if I don't, I feel I'll go insane," she says. "What happens when I'm 45 and living in a bedsit somewhere and I haven't had a film out for how many years and I've got no partner? I'll feel a complete failure.
"What is true success and failure? ... Judging my life on all the material things or the success of films, when those things are going well, I'm feeling great about life. But when things aren't going so well, where am I then? I suppose I need a spiritual foundation to get it in perspective."
Porter used to say she lived out of a suitcase but that's changed, too. "Now I'm actually paying rent and I've got my own little place in Kings Cross. I think there was a long time of not wanting to settle in a place. I just had this fear of once I actually settled in a place, it meant that I couldn't run away and jump on a plane and go and have a life somewhere else. I've just come around to the fact that it's OK. It doesn't mean just because you find somewhere to live, you're stuck in a certain place."
These days, Porter can get by on acting, without needing to do other jobs, though she believes films should have bigger budgets so actors don't have to subsidise them with low wages. "I certainly don't live a flash life," she says. "I don't need a lot of money to have a good life really. So my time is focused on things that I can put back into the community or just get involved in. It sounds so cliched - and taken out of context, I sound like a wanker, I'm sure - but love and service to the world is the most important thing ...
"If you do things when there's absolute love involved - and passion - the universe will always provide what you need."
In the case of The Caterpillar Wish, the universe provided a memorable experience working with Thaine. Porter, who says her co-star combines the maturity and intelligence of a twentysomething woman with the looks of a teenager, notes that her own career has moved "into that next phase from playing the girlfriends to playing the mothers". If she had her choice, her next character would be a "great asexual role".
"There's that thing of always being a woman who struggles and fights and is open with her sexuality.
"I love those troubled characters but I'm so different from that. I like crocheted tea-cosies. I don't drink, I don't do drugs, I don't go out to nightclubs. But I've always said I'd love to play a nun. Please put me in a habit."
The Caterpillar Wish opens on Thursday.

This is a discussion on First AR help!?! within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; There are almost more AR assemblers than Carter has liver pills! So you have to look at a few items. How much of the gun ...
There are almost more AR assemblers than Carter has liver pills! So you have to look at a few items. How much of the gun do you want the name brand to actually manufacture? Many are assembled utilizing components from many sources. I would look at Stag Arms and Windham Weaponry. There is also Core 15 which makes a sweet rifle. Colt is good but you will pay a premium for the name. Smith and Wesson is good as is one of if not the oldest manufacturer, Armalite. Rock River gets very good reviews as does DPMS. Is your head about to explode yet? My next one is going to be a Stag Model 8 as I like the piston driven action. Also, if you are a lefty Stag makes left hand models also. Good luck and have fun looking!
I have a M&P Sport and have enjoyed shooting it. Picked it up for $620 on budsgunshop.com. It has shot well with no trouble at all. I have shot about 500 rounds of 223/5.56 and probably 2000 rounds of .22LR (got a CMMG conversion kilt).
Swapped out the black buttstock, handguard, and pistol grip for OD Green. Added a EOTech XPS2-0. My bud that has been shooting and collecting for years loved it.
Based on everything I've read on here and AR15.com, my next one will be the PSA upper kit and I'm going to try to find a mil-spec lower from a private party/gun show. Everyone seems to have a good impression of the quality vs $$ of the PSA product.
The pic was taken prior to swapping out the buttstock.
If you want to spend $1100+ go with the Colt, if you wanna stay on a budget, PSA or M&P15 Sport would be good choices.
Ton's of info for you to digest. Lots of good weapons to chose from. I recently bought one of the Windham AR's and I feel it's a pretty solid weapon especially for the price point. My suggestions would be to get one with iron sights and be proficient with those then look into options for optics. ( where I'm at ) And when looking at your budget keep in mind lots of ammo. New gun=lots of fun=running through a lot of ammo. No matter what brand you chose I'm sure you'll love it.
I own a Franken gun with a DPMS lower that I assembled and a Rock River upper. It's been great but I haven't ever ran it hard. My brother in law has Rock River Tacticool Entry Mid Length all accessorized out with an Eotech and just about every accessory Magpul makes and it is a hell of a nice weapon. They both have more inherant accuracy than I can take advantage of. :)
It's kind of like how some people have a sudden and insatiable desire to talk about vampires after the Twilight series became popular, except zombies are much less gay and more likely to exist one day
I'm gonna go with the SW MP, the price is damn decent and for my first rifle it seems pretty basic and straightforward and ill have more cash for attachments that way. Any one got any good recommendations on websites that I can purchase sights and slings?
definitely a head shot with all this info but I'm loving it! Thanks fellers
It is impressive actually. Think of your wallet as the sun, and the forum as planets. LOL! We gladly assist you spending your money. Best advice revolves around that open wallet, and of course the knowledge is free. Just a friendly warning.from what I've seen on this website I'm very impressed with the knowledge posted here
By the way........forget a Bushmaster since you're not a gunsmith.
Bushmasters crap out easily? A friend of mine is considering one, he is no gunsmith either so what should I tell him to be cautious about? We will be shooting together and I don't want anything blowing my ass off lol
Any thoughts on this company? I'm liking the 5.56 predetAR..
What is your exact price point? That will help us give you an idea. Then we will tell you about the best makers in that price range.
OK I went ack and re-read this thread again. I see that your budget is up to $1500. In that case I suggest going to G@R tactical's web site and oredering a Colt 6920 Moe. Or a BCM.
Last edited by atctimmy; August 6th, 2012 at 07:58 AM.
My name is Frogman46 and I'm tougher than you.
With your price range.....buy a BCM, Colt, or DD
If I gave a crap about what you think about my guns.....it was early this morning and I already flushed it!
16-20 week wait on the Larue by the way. But it is one outstanding rifle. But $2400.
I'd rather be lucky than good any day
There's nothing that will change someone's moral outlook quicker than cash in large sums.
Majority rule only works if you're also considering individual rights. Because you can't have five wolves and one sheep voting on what to have for supper.
LaRue makes match grade rifles right out of the box. Chrome barrels that can take a punishing and still shoot a dime out of a coyote's mouth from 800 yards. Okay, not that good, but close to it.
However, however, HOWEVER... you better double your budget. I have some optic mounts from LaRue that by themselves cost close to $200. That being said, it's an investment and in AR's, you get what you pay for.
If you're seriously thinking about shelling out the cash for a LaRue, you might also want to consider the LMT CQB MRP piston. If you could find a way to make mud with good ballistics this rifle would still fire and stay clean. The piston will last you a long time, fire cheap ammo and the LMT will handle serious abuse. I've got one and even though it cost me some serious money, I've never looked back. Tula tries like heck to gum it up and it hasn't found a way yet.
But, if you're sticking with your current budget, the Colt is by far the best choice.
As to your .223 / 5.56 question-- you have it backwards. The 5.56 can shoot both, but the .223 can only handle the .223. Most of the 5.56 ammo out there packs a bit more punch and the 5.56 rifle is designed to handle it. I know plenty of people who shoot 5.56 through their .223, but it's like riding a motorcycle with your baseball cap turned backwards. Looks cool, but at some point you're going to become an organ donor.
My recommendation would be to save up your $$ and get yourself a better 5.56 as opposed to a decent .223. Ask around as to the best twist and that can help you decide what to go with as well. My LMT as a 1:7, which means I can shoot the 62 on up and stabilize the heavy guys.

Boyles downplayed Clear Channel colleague "Gunny" Bob Newman's attack on Muslim civil rights
Research ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
On his June 4 630 KHOW-AM show, while discussing the foiling of an alleged terrorist plot to attack JFK airport in New York City, Peter Boyles downplayed bigoted remarks directed toward Muslims a month earlier by a colleague, Newsradio 850 KOA host "Gunny" Bob Newman. Boyles admitted that Newman's comments were "over the top" but claimed Newman just wanted to "keep an eye on" Muslim extremists; in fact, Newman called for eliminating some basic civil rights for Muslim immigrants.
Discussing the breakup of an alleged terror plot to attack New York City's John F. Kennedy Airport, Peter Boyles on the June 4 broadcast of his 630 KHOW-AM show downplayed bigoted remarks fellow Clear Channel Communications Inc. host "Gunny" Bob Newman made about Muslims a month earlier on his Newsradio 850 KOA show. Although Boyles acknowledged that Newman's comments were "over the top," he claimed that Newman merely was saying that the United States needs to "keep an eye on" Muslim extremists. In fact, as Colorado Media Matters noted, Newman demanded on his May 8 broadcast that "every Muslim immigrant to America ... be required by law to wear a GPS tracking bracelet at all times" and further suggested that the federal government "bug [Muslims'] places of work and their residences" and monitor "[a]ll mosques and community centers." Newman also called for a moratorium on Muslim immigration into the United States, adding that if Muslims "don't like the idea, or if they refuse, throw their asses out of this country."
From the June 4 broadcast of 630 KHOW-AM's The Peter Boyles Show:
BOYLES: Over the weekend, the, the feds bust a, a plot by Muslim extremists, former -- from, from Guyana -- a parliament member who wanted to plant explosives on a jet fuel artery at JFK. The three men were arrested, and a fourth sought in Trinidad for reportedly hatching the scheme that they boasted would be worse than 9-11. Again -- we're at this moment. Now I have, I have a colleague, by the name of Bob Newman, who took a tremendous amount of heat for saying some things that went over the top. But he's saying, keep an eye on this stuff. And you just wonder, you know. You just wonder. Why is it these guys? Why is it only these guys? I realize that there's been other crazies. We were talking last week about the, the death of David Lane -- the guy that murdered Alan Berg. Certainly Timothy McVeigh, and I listed these guys. But man, here's this one again, right?
As Colorado Media Matters has noted, Newman's "over the top" remarks drew considerable community reaction, including statements of condemnation from the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado, the Anti-Defamation League, and the American Friends Service Committee. Further, at least four companies asked that their ads be removed from Newman's show after the advocacy group ProgressNow Action launched an online campaign enlisting members of the public to contact Newman's advertisers and urge them to withdraw their support of the broadcast.
Colorado Media Matters has documented the recent trend of conservative, Denver-based Clear Channel radio hosts engaging in anti-Muslim rhetoric. For example, on his May 30 broadcast, Boyles agreed with a caller's suggestion that the United States "need[s] to say, 'No more Islamic immigration.' " -- a statement that echoed Newman's May 8 remark that "maybe it's time for a little moratorium on Muslim visas, period."

London, Jan 5: Soccer super star Cristiano Ronaldo's weakness for 'hookers' is well known. Believe it or not , the ace footballer is so passionate about palaces and big houses.
Ronaldo has celebrated becoming the Premier League"s highest-paid star by buying this £4million pad.The Man Utd winger, 23 today, is set to sign a £44million contract to keep him at Old Trafford until 2014 — earning him £7million a year. And he has wasted no time moving into the fabulous five-bedroom mansion, which boasts an indoor swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, gym, cinema room and media suite.
Portuguese international Ronaldo, raised in a tin shack on Madeira, paid £3,895,000 for the property, with three floors and majestic countryside views.
The Alderley Edge house is close to team-mate Rio Ferdinand and just two miles from Utd boss Sir Alex Ferguson.
Ronaldo was keen to leave behind the home in Woodford, Cheshire, where he romped with vice girls last year.
A source said: "This new place is absolutely awesome."

CANADA STOCKS-Financials, commodities lead TSX higher
* TSX closes up 52.77 at 12,149.86
* Boosted by bank capital rules, Chinese data (Updates to close)
By Claire Sibonney
TORONTO, Sept 13 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock index finished higher on Monday, as the financial sector was boosted by an agreement on new global rules for bank capital reserves and resources got a lift from robust Chinese economic data.
The heavily weighted financial sector gained 1.4 percent as Royal Bank of Canada (RY.TO: Quote) climbed 2.1 percent to C$54.60, and Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD.TO: Quote) rose 1.3 percent to C$75.94.
Aiming to prevent a repeat of the international credit crisis, regulators agreed over the weekend on new global bank capital rules that, while tighter than before, were not as harsh as some had feared. [ID:nLDE68C1OV]
Canadian banks responded by saying they expect to be able to adopt the Basel III rules for maintaining reserve capital with little trouble, meaning dividend hikes and share buybacks could be on the way once Canada's banking regulator gives the go-ahead. [ID:nN13189759]
"Clarity on capital requirements is a big sigh of relief," said Youssef Zohny, associate portfolio manager at Van Arbor Asset Management in Vancouver.
"Canadian banks are already well capitalized and now have some clarity and a green light to implement their dividend plans." Continued...

Hartford Courant: 'Do You Think That He/She Might Try to Kill You?' More Police Screening to Find OutA tool that experts say prevents domestic violence deaths now is being used by more than half of the state's law enforcement agencies, advocates said this week. The Lethality Assessment Program is a screening process that allows police officers responding to family violence calls to determine the likelihood that the victim would someday be killed by a domestic partner. L.A.P. was tested as a pilot program in Connecticut in 2012. It was rolled out statewide last year, and by August, 31 police agencies were using the screening process. Now, 58 of Connecticut's 115 law enforcement agencies are participating, according to the Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence, which oversees the program. Continue Reading >

CT NewsJunkie: Advocates Urge Lawmakers to Pass Bill to Protect Domestic Violence Victims from Gun ViolenceLori Jackson's family traveled to the state Capitol Saturday night in hopes of saving a bill designed to take firearms out of the hands of individuals who receive a restraining order in cases of domestic violence. The Jacksons, who are hoping to make domestic violence victims safer following their daughter's murder last year, were concerned that the bill — H.B. 6848, An Act Protecting Victims Of Domestic Violence — would get stuck on the calendar as the legislative clock winds down.

CT Mirror: Victim's Family Asks for Vote on Domestic Violence BillThe Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence quickly mobilized Saturday night to press a wavering House leadership to call a vote on legislation intended to allow police to temporarily take firearms away from persons served with temporary restraining orders. "We are looking for the House to call this bill tonight. They're here. It's critical that it happen this evening, because the concern is if it happens Monday, it's going to be too late," said Karen Jarmoc, the coalition leader. "That's why these folks came up here, probably, at an hour's notice." Continue Reading >

Someone's REALLY bad day
It happenend in North Carolina earlier this fall. The sailboat was following another boat thru the drawbridge when the operator started to close the bridge, claiming he 'never saw the sailboat.'
Huh? Kinda hard to miss, methinks!
Hey, CD, I followed your instructions here: http://www.sailnet.com/forums/showth...ghlight=upload
How come I got a link instead of a photo?
Yikes! I can think of a hundred better ways to unstep my mast.
Do you know if a better quality image is available?
For some reason I couldn't get your URL to work. But it seems to work after uploading the image to my photobucket account.
I found more pics and tried to hot-link them, but it didn't work either - need to click each one.
TB, Those must've been taken from a neighboring boat? Good internet skills - how did you find them? Sad, sad, sad.
Try this:
I had to shrink the photo you posted for me to fit sailnet's max. size. I scanned the original article from the local newspaper and can email it to you if you PM me (BIG attachment).
No that's OK eryka, thanks anyway.

Criminal attorney
The legal system, of which the criminal lawyers are a crucial part, affects nearly every aspect of our society, and hence our lives. Otherwise known as attorneys, they act as both advocates and counselors. They have a moral duty to hold on to a code of principles, as they possess positions of great power and responsibility. Whatever their role may be, all attorneys apply the law to the circumstances faced by their client, and try to make the best of it.
There are certain areas, such as bankruptcy, domestic relations, real estate, probate etc in which lawyers may specialise. Most criminal lawyers prefer private practice. Where criminal law is concerned, the lawyers represent those who have been charged with felonies and argue their cases in courts of law, after researching their cases.
Criminal lawyers are involved in more than just interrogation in the court room. They see to it that the defendant is protected in the future. They are also key figures in the decision as to whether the defendant should plea with the judges, based on the information provided by them on the current situation and also in which way they think the case will turn.
The attorneys know many of the things that also come to be known with practice, such as what may convince certain prosecutors, and at the same time are well-versed in significant laws. An attorney spends adequate time pondering over your case and also knows how to take care of witnesses who might try to change their stories over the course of the proceedings of the case.
Homicide is the killing of a human being due to the act or failure to act of another. Criminal homicides include murder and manslaughter. Non-criminal homicides include killing in self-defense, a misadventure like a hunting accident or automobile wreck without a violation of law like reckless driving, or legal (government) execution. Suicide is a homicide, but is rarely prosecuted. Assisting or attempting suicide can be a crime.
Homicides can be classified as follows;
Justifiable Homicides -- these are "no fault" homicides. They ordinarily involve the death of someone under circumstances of necessity or duty (commanded or authorized by law). Examples would be self-defense, capital punishment, and police shootings.
An assault is any unlawful attempt or offer with force or violence to do bodily harm to another, whether from ill will or extreme carelessness; for example, by striking at or holding up the fist at a person in a threatening or insulting manner, or with other circumstances that evidence an intention, coupled with a present ability, of actual violence against the person, such as by pointing a weapon at him when he is within reach of it. When the injury is actually inflicted, it amounts to a battery.
A battery is any willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon the person of another; or Actual, intentional and unlawful touching or striking of another person against the will of the other; or Unlawfully and intentionally causing bodily harm to an individual. Violent offenses are overwhelmingly committed by males. There are a number of factors that are analyzed in studying offender characteristics and different studies use different characteristics as the basis of the study. Such characteristics include, among others, age, race, gender, location, parental involvement, education, past criminal history, drug/alcohol use, and mental illness.
drug trafficking:
Drug trafficking generally refers to the sale and distribution of illegal drugs. Penalties for federal drug trafficking convictions vary according to the quantity of the controlled substance involved in the transaction. A drug trafficking conviction may also lead to denial of federal benefits and forfeiture of personal property and real estate.
Under the federal sentencing guidelines, a "drug trafficking offense" as "an offense under federal, state, or local law that prohibits the manufacture, import, export, distribution, or dispensing of a controlled substance (or a counterfeit substance) or the possession of a controlled substance (or a counterfeit substance) with intent to manufacture, import, export, distribute, or dispense.
Finding a good criminal lawyer is no joke, and this task becomes ever more taxing when one is already under the pressure of being accused of a having committed a crime. The first person one must talk to after being taken in by the police is his lawyer and he must also proceed with the interrogation in the presence of the same. Otherwise, whatever he says can be used against him in a court of law. However the immediate job to be done would be getting a criminal lawyer to arrange for the release and provide some information about the case as well as to give a realistic picture of what will come in the future.
Criminal Defense Lawyer. com can be referred to in order to find a suitable criminal lawyer. One can spend some time with the lawyer, which may or may not require a fee, to find out just how compatible they are. One must also be totally open with the criminal lawyer one hires, if one has the ability to do so, or with the criminal lawyer given by the government.

Fidget aprons are great for dementia or Alzheimer's patients, or even people who have had strokes who like to "fidget". They provide a simple, mobile activity for the busy hands of people with decreased cognitive skills. They give patients the joy of doing something with their hands.
Each one is unique based on the gadgets used. Items can be placed in a pocket, such as a scarf, for folding. You can also add zippers, buttons, ribbons/shoelaces, old bead necklaces, or other items you wish to recycle. These would be great to make for hospitals or nursing homes.
Source: My grandmother had a stroke and was in a wheelchair. She was always fidgeting with something.
By Rachel's Mom from Wilkesboro, NC
I thought this was such a wonderful idea and voted for it. Then I spoke to my daughter who works in a nursing home. I wanted to make several aprons and donate them for the patients. She said that it is a wonderful idea, but they could not give them to the patients. It seems that family members are very lawsuit-minded now a days and if a button came off or if they caught a finger in the zipper. Well, such a sad state, but anyway this is a great idea if your own family member is in need. (08/11/2009)
Great idea and if a family member sees someone else's loved one enjoying one of these in the nursing home, perhaps they will order or buy one for their own family's use. (08/11/2009)

On MSNBC, The Hill's Stoddard claimed Democrats "have an Al Qaeda problem"
Research ››› ››› MATTHEW BIEDLINGMAIER
On the July 24 edition of MSNBC's Tucker, host Tucker Carlson asserted that President Bush "made the case" in a July 24 speech "that Iraq is basically the front lines in our war now against Al Qaeda" and added, "I think that's a very hard argument for [Democrats] to respond to. What are they going to say, 'No. That's not true'? It is true." A.B. Stoddard, associate editor of The Hill, replied: "I agree with you. ... The Democrats have an Al Qaeda problem." Stoddard provided no support for her assertion or for the suggestion that it is Democrats and not the Bush administration or its congressional supporters who "have an Al Qaeda problem." She made no distinction between Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda and Al Qaeda in Iraq, a group identified in the recently released National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) as its "affiliate." But contrary to her assertions, Democrats have addressed both.
Her remarks recalled a comment made by Weekly Standard writer Stephen F. Hayes on the July 22 edition of NBC's Meet the Press that went unchallenged by host Tim Russert. As Media Matters for America noted, Hayes accused "administration critics" of arguing that "this Al Qaeda threat is overblown," and he claimed that the July 17 NIE undermined these critics:
HAYES: I think for a long time administration critics had begun to make the argument that really this Al Qaeda threat is overblown, that they misled us into the war in Iraq, they're misleading us about the seriousness of the threat from Al Qaeda. And I think what the NIE does, even though in some ways it's, it's very critical of the administration, is it strengthens the basic case that the administration has been making that Al Qaeda remains a serious threat.
Similarly, on Tucker, Stoddard accused Democrats advocating withdrawal from Iraq of "refusing to talk [apparently about Al Qaeda]." MSNBC political analyst Pat Buchanan then stated that Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA) had recently addressed the very issue of how to fight Al Qaeda in Iraq even while withdrawing most U.S. troops. In response, Stoddard said that "a lot of times" the issue of dealing with Al Qaeda in Iraq "is dodged."
In fact, Democrats have offered strategies for fighting both Al Qaeda in Iraq and the main Al Qaeda terrorist organization headed by Osama bin Laden, which has been permitted to strengthen significantly in its safe haven along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, according to the NIE. Most recently, the Senate debated an amendment to the defense authorization bill -- offered by Sens. Carl Levin (D-MI) and Jack Reed (D-RI) -- that calls for a "reduction" of U.S forces in Iraq but also stipulates that the United States maintain a "limited presence" of troops in the region to protect "United States and Coalition personnel and infrastructure"; to"[t]rain[], equip[], and provid[e] logistic support to the Iraqi Security Forces [ISF]"; and to engage in "targeted counterterrorism operations against al Qaeda, al Qaeda affiliated groups, and other international terrorist organizations."
The Iraq war supplemental (passed in both the House and the Senate but vetoed by President George W. Bush) also specifically states that armed forces in Iraq may be deployed or maintained for "[e]ngaging in targeted special actions limited in duration and scope to killing or capturing members of al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations with global reach." From section 1904 of the Iraq war supplemental:
After the conclusion of the redeployment specified in subsections (b) and (c), the Secretary of Defense may not deploy or maintain members of the Armed Forces in Iraq for any purpose other than the following:
(1) Protecting American diplomatic facilities and American citizens, including members of the United States Armed Forces.
(2) Serving in roles consistent with customary diplomatic positions.
(3) Engaging in targeted special actions limited in duration and scope to killing or capturing members of al-Qaeda and other terrorist organizations with global reach.
(4) Training and equipping members of the Iraqi Security Forces.
In addition, both Sens. Barack Obama (D-IL) and Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) have introduced legislation calling for redeployment of U.S. troops in Iraq while retaining a limited presence in the region for "counter-terrorism" operations. Obama introduced legislation in January requiring the redeployment of U.S. troops in Iraq to begin "not later than May 1, 2007." According to the bill, redeployment of U.S. forces is "subject to the exceptions for retention of forces for force protection, counter-terrorism operations, training of Iraqi forces, and other purposes." Similarly, Clinton's legislation, introduced in the Senate in February, would cap the number of troops in Iraq at January 2007 levels and de-authorize the war unless the president certifies that "a phased redeployment of United States military forces from Iraq has begun ... including the transition of United States forces in Iraq to the limited presence and mission of -- (A) training Iraqi security forces; (B) providing logistic support of Iraqi security forces; (C) protecting United States personnel and infrastructure; and (D) participating in targeted counter-terrorism activities."
Further, in response to the most recent NIE, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) has specifically referred to the "threat" "from Al Qaeda's senior leadership apparently based in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border regions, not from Iraq." From a July 17 statement:
"The NIE is just the latest report assessing that Al Qaeda has rebuilt its strength to nearly pre-9/11 levels and that the greatest threat we face to the US homeland comes from Al Qaeda's senior leadership apparently based in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border regions, not from Iraq. Since 9/11, terrorist attacks around the world have dramatically increased in number, Al Qaeda has rebuilt safe-havens, and new extremist groups have been inspired by Al Qaeda to further extremist causes and conduct deadly attacks.
"The NIE also demonstrates that the current situation in Iraq has helped to energize Al Qaeda. Changing our strategy in Iraq and narrowing our military mission to countering Al Qaeda terrorism -- as a bipartisan majority in the Senate now favors -- would be the single greatest thing we could do to undermine Al Qaeda's ability to use Iraq as a recruiting and propaganda tool fueling the growth of regional terrorist groups.
On January 31, following her trip to the Middle East, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called the situation in Afghanistan "dire," saying in an interview on NPR's Morning Edition: "The war on terror is in Afghanistan." Pelosi added: "The fact that we weakened our commitment to Afghanistan in order to concentrate in Iraq has taken a toll. The vacuum that was created enabled the Taliban to make a comeback." From the January 31 Morning Edition:
MONTAGNE: You also visited Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, why are more troops the answer?
Well, why would one consider more troops going into Afghanistan and not Iraq?
PELOSI: They're two different situations. The war on terror is in Afghanistan. The fact that we weakened our commitment to Afghanistan in order to concentrate in Iraq has taken a toll. The vacuum that was created enabled the Taliban to make a comeback. What was interesting to me in Afghanistan was that the NATO commander there told us that this could be lost.
Now, I did not realize that the situation was that dire in Afghanistan. And we need more troops, but we also need more NATO troops, and we made that clear to the NATO commander, that the countries of NATO had to have more troops there with more discretion, without caveats -- "We can't do this, we can't do that." And also the countries of Europe have to make a stronger economic commitment to the reconstruction of Afghanistan.
Additionally, both Clinton and Obama have specifically addressed the threat of Al Qaeda outside of Iraq. In an October 31, 2006, speech, Clinton called for focus on Afghanistan:
Now, we talk a great deal about Iraq and not enough about Afghanistan, where our failures have squandered much of what our military accomplished and limited the reach and positive impact of [Afghan] President [Hamid] Karzai's moderate, democratic government.
It is a great and brave thing that our allies from Canada, Britain, the Netherlands and other NATO countries have done by sending troops to Afghanistan. But Afghanistan and NATO need us as a leading partner, to help with security, to root out corruption, to find alternatives to opium, to improve the situation with Pakistan. We know the general area where the leaders of the Taliban and probably the leaders of Al Qaeda are. It is a failure of our policies on all fronts that five years later they are sending waves of fighters into Afghanistan from their safe havens. The stakes are unbearably high: for Afghanistan, for Pakistan, for the country's northern neighbors in Central Asia; for the reach of Al Qaeda; and for our own credibility and leadership.
Obama has also mentioned the need to focus on Afghanistan and other regions outside of Iraq. Obama's "Vision of American Security in the 21st Century" is outlined in a document offered on his campaign website. Obama's plan:
De-escalates the War with Phased Redeployment. Commences a phased redeployment of U.S. troops from Iraq not later than May 1, 2007, with the goal of removing all combat brigades by March 31, 2008, a date consistent with the expectation of the Iraq Study Group.
Focus on the Broader Middle East and Central Asia. Barack Obama would refocus our efforts on the challenges in the wider Middle East, where Hamas and Hezbollah feel emboldened and Israel's prospects for secure peace seem uncertain, while U.S. diplomatic engagement has been sporadic; on preventing Iran, which has been strengthened by the war in Iraq, from acquiring nuclear weapons; and on Afghanistan, where more American forces and resources are needed to defeat a resurgent Taliban, finish the battle against al Qaeda, and stop that country from continuing to backslide toward instability.
From the July 24 edition of MSNBC's Tucker:
BUCHANAN: The one that made the principled point last night [at the debate for Democratic presidential candidates] was [Rep. Dennis] Kucinich [OH] --
CARLSON: Yes.
BUCHANAN: -- and it's her [anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan's] point as well. He said, "Look, all we have to do is don't vote him any more money for the war and tell him, 'We gave you $100 billion. Use that to bring them home.' "
CARLSON: Yeah.
BUCHANAN: That's exactly what both houses could do, because they've got 50 percent of both houses. Simply don't appropriate any more money for the war.
CARLSON: No kidding.
BUCHANAN: They could end the war -- end America's involvement in the war like that.
CARLSON: End it this afternoon. Now, I mean, I think that would be a disaster for this country.
BUCHANAN: Sure.
CARLSON: It would weaken us, and it would send all the wrong messages, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
BUCHANAN: Yeah.
CARLSON: But if you really believe that the war is lost and every day is only an opportunity for more Americans to die, why wouldn't you do that?
STODDARD: It is a huge problem for Democrats. There's a new poll out saying that the -- you know, the approval for Congress is down at 14 percent. They are seven months into this, you know, having power back after 12 years and all the promises and all the rage. And they haven't been able to change course in Iraq, and they haven't passed the other things. None of you will recall the "Six for '06" agenda from January, but --
BUCHANAN: They are a party that wants to be seen barking at the bus and chasing the bus, but they don't want to catch it. They do not want to impose their policy on the president and say, "The war is -- our involvement is over. You're going to start bringing them home," because then they are responsible for what happens after. And they know what's going to happen after.
CARLSON: But see, I feel like we're a tool --
STODDARD: But they also might lose power if they --
BUCHANAN: [inaudible] their way out -- is what's gonna happen.
CARLSON: Bush gave a speech today in South Carolina -- in Charleston, as it happens, the same location as the debate last night -- in which he made the case that Iraq is basically the front lines in our war now against Al Qaeda. It wasn't before, but now it is. I think that's a very hard argument for them to respond to. What are they going to say, "No. That's not true"? It is true.
STODDARD: I do -- I agree with you. And we have talked about this before. The Democrats have an Al Qaeda problem. They are not -- so far, they're just refusing to talk about every --
BUCHANAN: Boxer handled it just an hour ago, when she said, "Our proposal says that we keep troops in there to fight Al Qaeda and to train the Iraqis, and we get them out of the sectarian war. Fifteen percent of the attacks are Al Qaeda. We can fight that."
STODDARD: That was the most effective answer I've heard yet.
BUCHANAN: Yeah, that was her line.
STODDARD: A lot of times it's dodged.

My point, I don't know where the communication broke down between my installer and the manufacturer. Not my problem. Long story short, I payed out good money for something that doesn't work as promised, and it took me reporting them to get them to do something.
You are correct the communication between LL & your installer isn't your problem..unfortunately the lack of heat is your problem since it is you and your family dealing with it during the coldest snap in two years. It shouldn't be your problem, but with an installer that is not responsive since he already got full payment, it becomes your problem unless you want to sit around through the next cold snap waiting for them to do something. Who is this installer?
My approach and yours vary a little...I would have made the end run after 2-3 days (telling the installer that is all they had before I took action) at the most and worked with LL directly, letting them worry about collecting any other charges from my installer. The more time that you deal with a problem, the more emotionally driven you get (angrier) and that usually clouds the decision making process toward the best all around solution.
A public forum is one way to vent (i've done it myself) and on this particular forum a great way to find a resolution. When presented with the probable solution, the replacement fan, I would have called LL, (their phone # is listed multiple places in the manual) and got them to ship the fan to me directly. Move past the emotion and get to fixing it. Then you can get back to the justifiable, emotional, collecting of that pound of flesh from the installer while you are warm.
Good thing you didn't get a Harman boiler - talk about a company that hates its customers! At least LL is on here, accessible, and it seems open to suggestions. One suggestion in this case is they ship replacement fans directly to the end customers rather than through dealers if that is what the customer wants.
I am still very interested in the name of the installer, please list it.

Given that you have a GS, surely the ultimate all rounder, i would get something more purposefull and full of charachter. For sheer enjoyment you can't beat torque. Changing down to get power soon becomes tiresome, especially on an 800cc V4.
I had a shot on a Ducati 999 recently and it was sheer heaven. Single minded sure, but I've never experienced the way the bike just seemed to disappear, leaving just me and the road and the speed. They are becoming pretty affordable now and later ones are relatively low maintenance. Brakes astounding and lovely to use, suspension supple, perfect steering and tracking, explosive acceleration and beautiful roar. If you can afford a second bike as a plaything for bendy roads you would love one. I've had 3 VFRs, ridden the BMW 11150 RS for a long time and GS too.
The V-Tech VFR800 I've not ridden, but it does not seem to be a coherent motorcycle, they've played about with it too much. Or get yerself a wee single cylinder thumper. There's a great deal of satisfaction to be had from riding a bike closer to its limits , rather than just hanging on, knowing the engine is faster than you will ever be.
Can you tell I'm envious?
i have owned a VFR 800 Fi on a W plate, so not the VTEC.
I can not fault the bike, i like to try the new bikes but as yet can not find one that i would prefer to own. it has enough power for the real world, it has a great blemd of tallents for the twisty back roads or for touring. With the gear driven cams, the engine is almost bullet proof. i have heard of the V4 engines getting well over 100'000 miles with only normal maintainence.
I've had two VFRs, the first was a 95 750 fs (in red) which was a fantastic bike. Would still have it except for a driver trying to occupy the same space as i was in.
As that was written off I treated myself to a Vtec 06' on which I've just completed a 1500 mile tour of Scotland - fantastic time and the bike performed faultlessly. As Refred commented - I can't think what I might replace it with.
Incidently the Vtec is a black one and isn't much slower than the red!

Autumn, or more to the point, the smell of autumn, must be one of the most distinctive times of the year. There is rot waiting in the wings and damp hanging in the air, and with it the slow and certain decay that comes now the energy of the growing season is dissipating. With that smell comes an instant and indelible link back to the orchard I grew up with. At this time of year there was always fruit on the ground and a rich, cidery smell hung among the trees as the windfalls got the better of us and collected in the hollows. It was a mysterious, moody place, complete with a bluebell carpet in the spring. The remains of it are still there, although the trees are old now and shattered by bumper years that have brought the twisted branches crashing down under the weight of fruit.
Though the apple plucked by Eve was almost certainly a pomegranate or a fig, the true apple has been cultivated since 1500BC. However, they have not been cultivated in the British Isles for that long as they were introduced by the Romans, who found the wild apples here too sour. They had developed skills in propagating trees through grafting and budding, and soldiers were given land to plant orchards as an inducement to stay. Though the Romans moved on, the apples have become part of our landscape and it felt pertinent that the orchards at Wisley were where I spent my first three months when I arrived there.
In the first few weeks we were put on apple-picking duty as it was September and several crates had to be taken from each tree to be stored, sold, or taken up to the Great Autumn Show at the RHS Halls in Vincent Square, London. There were some 650 varieties and, needless to say, we tried most of them as they ripened over the weeks; the earlies followed by the mid-season and the lates running on into December, by which time the fruits hung naked in trees blown free of their foliage. We started to prune the moment the foliage came down as it was a winter's work to make our way through the rows. The trees were all grown on a semi-dwarfing MM106 rootstock, so that they remained accessible and in reach of the ladders that were used to tend them. These trees were managed so that you could see through them, with no crossing limbs, an open centre to allow plenty of free air movement and a well-developed spur system. We pruned out the canker, the water shoots and the leaders of all those varieties that were spur-bearing and pruned those that flowered on the tips of the fruits (such as 'Beauty of Bath') to retain the fruiting wood, working each tree according to its own particular growth habit, while making sure it was done by the book.
The RHS publication, The Fruit Garden Displayed, became our bible and it came complete with images of Hayden Williams, our supervisor, toiling in the same windswept fields, so we felt we were living the book. But I must admit that, in the 25 years since I graduated from Wisley, I have never pruned another apple tree with such dexterity and doubt I ever will. This is not to say that I have drifted away from the idea of the orchard - on the contrary, I love the principle of a grove of trees that is productive, the repetition, the spring blossom, the way you can tailor an orchard to produce for you over months, if you choose your varieties correctly. I also love the fact that you can weave local varieties into an orchard that have been bred or singled out to do well in exactly that locality and make connections with a rich seam of peoples who have also enjoyed getting their food for free. But I am happy for an orchard to evolve on its own and to see it as a place that strikes that happy balance between agriculture and production and ornamental garden.
I have written before about living vicariously through my clients and I have planted at least one orchard a year. They are places that can be tended easily with livestock to graze the grass if there is room but, even in quite modestly sized gardens, it is possible to add the cool atmosphere that they engender in the knowledge that they will provide far more in terms of atmosphere than many other, higher-maintenance areas. Apples may be prone to a wealth of problems, but if you choose your varieties well you can select those that do well in your locale and might be scab- and canker-resistant. The Thornhayes catalogue (www.thornhayes-nursery.co.uk) lists more than 150 varieties and the nursery is happy to advise you as to which varieties suit your particular part of the country. Apples like free drainage, but an M25 rootstock can cope better than most in a heavy wet soil and this is the rootstock I favour to grow a larger tree.
Selecting a range of varieties to provide early, mid-season and late-cropping fruit is worthwhile, and there is nothing like going to one of the many apple days set up across the country to savour the fruit first-hand and to talk to the growers about the vigour. I like to get a good range into an orchard, too. Nutty russets with textured flesh, waxy-skinned 'Cox's Pomona' for that wonderful red on one side, green on the other. I want cookers that can double as a tart eater such as 'Blenheim Orange', and cookers to keep on a cool shelf until Christmas or to make into spicy, baked apples as a welcoming treat for the autumn. I always try to weave in a 'Bramley', because I love the weight of the tree which has gravity in a garden and is still one of the most lovely of spring-blossoming trees.
Formative pruning is all I ever advocate to establish a tree for balance so that it has a good structure that can bear the weight of fruit later in life. Some additional maintenance to remove cankers and broken limbs and retain good structure helps later in life but, if space is a limitation, I am just as happy to look into trees that can be pruned as a means of training them into a space.
I draw the line at the pixie rootstocks, as I don't like to see a tree that looks like it has the equivalent of bound feet. If you want to grow apples in a small space, cordon and fan-trained trees that are grown on an MM106 or M27 rootstock can be hugely productive, and trees can be trained to form arches and arbours. 'Step-over' apples are a great example of a space-saving device, and I have been using them to edge potager beds in several gardens. On the whole, the more dwarfing the rootstock, the better the growing conditions it needs. Soil needs to be free-draining and nutritious, so roots should be kept free from competition and the plants given an open, warm position to do their best. That said, the Romans were on to something when they planted their orchards here, for our cool winters and moist summers are what make apples one of our best and most easily cultivated fruiting trees. Trees that I will always come back to and want to have near me.

Freestyle's new catalog is a fun wish book
Just today I got this Freestyle catalog, printed on actual paper and filled with various films, papers and chemicals from around the world. What fun!
We have no connection to Freestyle but what they are doing, which appears to be a concentration of analog/photochemical photographic tools and materials, looks like it is good for business. Right next to enlargers is the Epson V700 at a pretty good price, I noticed.
Here is a link to their site.

Summer is for lazy days at the beach, barbecues, baseball
games, picnics and the pool. It's time to unplug from busy school
year schedules, to relax, to get outdoors, to play.
Unfortunately, research by the National
Summer Learning Institute has shown that many children lose one
to three months of learning over the summer. So summer is also the
ideal time to encourage learning through hands-on, fun and active
fieldwork and projects.

To the OP, yes I would.
Printable View
To the OP, yes I would.
the OP asked about Drawing anainst a gun.
so for those of us who have a 642 or equilivant in a vest or coat pocket--
that was not part of the answer. even though it is what we wouldmost likely be
making our plans around.
i stand by my answer. and as for Mad being himself, is anyone suprised?
There is a YouTube video of a hotel clerk being robbed. There was a second person behind the desk and they guy used her to hide him drawing. The other part was there was a customer that was at the desk and had a 3-4 year old child sitting on the counter. The outcome was that the BG was the only one hurt. There were so many things that could have gone wrong, but they didn't. The point here is that the BG had the drop, but the GG used a distraction to engage.
While not saying it was the best thing to do, in the heat of the moment, I am sure the GG feared for his life and the others there. If he didn't engage and the BG started shooting, they all would have been in trouble. I guess the moral of the story is you've got seconds to access the risks and your options. The BG, once he determined the odds where not stacked in his favor started to disengage, but the action plan was already in play by the time he made that call.
I guess in the end it depends on the options and calculated outcomes determined in the blink of an eye.
Found the video, likely already seen by many.
Good guy 1, Bad guy 0, CCW in action unedited - YouTube
I got my carry permit to protect myself and others indeed. But, I was protecting myself with situational awareness, the study of human behavior, and avoiding likely areas of violence by using my gray matter long before I carried a gun.
Situational awareness is great and keep us out of lots of trouble BUT the OP did not ask how to use SA. He is asking what and how to handle the situation after we have already found ourselves behind the 8 ball.
SA is great and we all need to work on it but if you can be aware of everything going on around you 24/7 I have to ask. How do you get anything else done in your life? Also if you are SO good with SA, Why do you carry a gun? You will always avoid any bad situation.
I go with the thoughts that "SH** Can Happen" so prepare the best you can and know your limitations, then act accordingly. This is done by practice and training to the point you just know what you can do. It's not I think I could maybe do that, you know because you've done it in training.
Yep it takes money and time to do all that but how bad do you need it and how bad do you want to live if you do?
Just an OLD MAN'S thoughts
How many that have responded have a spouse (or whatever) that carries? My wife carries. If a BG stopped us he has two Sigs to contend with. We have discussed this before and I would be reaching for my EDC like I was reaching for my wallet. This gives her time to draw and she is a quick little thing:smile:. This moves the advantage to us. Just curious if there is a plan with your companion. Moving off the X and drawing is good but not good if your family is behind you and he has time to get a shot off. Something as simple as I will move left and you move right could be decisive.
If he has the drop on me from more than two feet away but less than 15-20, it would be a losing proposition. It would depend on how focused he was. If he was super close to me, I'd consider disarming him based on how strong he looks. I have had years of martial arts and some wrestling training, and I bet I could easily take his gun away- especially if he was holding with one hand. Still, I am no macho man looking for a hole in me. If he simply wanted money or my car, he can have it. I am not wasting myself over property....ever. I would draw or attack if I was quite sure he was going to shoot me...just need to buy time with offer of more money maybe. Heck, I'd offer to drive to an ATM or anything to buy time...and an opportunity. The BG is motivated by something. More of it may be a way to buy time and opportunities. I have been in one bad situation, was unarmed, and talked my way out of it. That was a bad day but my calm demeanor and lies got me out of it. My stupidity got me into it, but that is another story. :)
obviously it's highly situtation dependent but I'd probably just give him the wallet unless I truely believed he was going to shoot anyway or something else besides just robbery was likely. There are not too many of these types who are skilled with a handgun ... I've seen more than one security video where these types point & shoot at someone inside of 10 ft & still miss ...
"would you draw on a gun?"
Only with a pencil.

West Sand Lake Is Getting Their Own Theme Song [Your Town Thursday]
Since I was just in West Sand Lake DJing a surprise party this past weekend, a lightbulb went off– WOW, I've never done a song about it, so here we go!I'm only one man, though. I can't create these things out of thin air, people! (OK, I sound like I'm yelling, sorry.) But I am looking for your facts so I can put my nose to the grindstone and write you up something.
Here's the type of info I'm looking for, just to give you an idea. Pick one, several or all! I'd appreciate anything you have to offer.
What it's best known for?
Well known attractions or businesses (I can actually sneak you in a free plug!)
Funny quirks (the red light in the middle of town hasn't worked in 10 years etc).
Quick historical facts (don't get all "Wikipedia" on me- just a few bullet points will do).
You can copy and paste this into an email and send to email@example.com, or just put the answers in the comment section! The song will air on Thursday's Sean and Richie Show, typically between 8:45-8:50 a.m. It will also be on this website on one of my blogs.
And if you have photos to go with your facts, by all means send them to the same email.
Would you like to hear examples of songs done in the past? Click the button below. Thanks in advance!
