Same as it ever was...

I've got a new Think Again, column, "The New, New, New Journalism," here.
More evidence that Mearsheimer and Walt are largely right:
1) They've sent around a roughly 80-page response to their critics, which is largely compelling even though I am one of the people they refute.
2) This New York Times article quotes no one at all in support of Carter's position, only critics. Since when does the Times write in its news pages about controversies entirely from one side of the controversy, particularly when it's about someone who was president of the United States? I'll tell you since when. It's since he criticizes Israel ...
3) Michael Kinsley is quoted after writing the crappiest column of his career (see previous post).
4) Abe Foxman is quoted with no hint that he seeks to silence anyone at all who is critical of Israel, including Tony Judt, and MoveOn.org (here).
Make no mistake. This book stinks. But it's not because it's venal or anti-Semitic or because it has the word "apartheid" in the title. I've walked, by myself, through Palestinian refugee camps on the West Bank. My life was threatened inside one. They are the worst places I've ever seen. And they are clearly the vicitms of a deliberate apartheid-like policy. And all this focus on what's in the minds of the Israelis when they create these conditions is besides the point. The point is what the Palestinians are forced to endure which is a lot like what Black South Africans were forced to endure. Obviously, the Israelis are not racists in the same way White South Africans were. Obviously, the Palestinians bear a significant measure of responsibility for the misery of their own people, as do other nations. But so do the Israelis. And so do those American Jews who seek, knowingly, to whitewash this fact, and slander those who point it out.
And by the way, did I miss it, or did Alan Dershowitz, Marty Peretz, Charles Krauthammer, Abe Foxman, etc., write a column about the recent reports -- from inside the Israeli government -- that many of the West Bank settlements are built on land that was deliberately stolen by the Israelis, and that the government has purposely covered up this theft and repeatedly lied about it? A report on that is here.

Getting Your Facts Straight
Hello all, LTC Bob here again, after a moderate hiatus. I want to talk about the news because, well, this is a media site. But first, I should like to get something straight. It is about me, and it is necessary because you need to know who is writing here.
Within my community, that of the Airborne and Ranger Infantry (but more broadly all combat arms types) I am considered a geek. I read, incessantly, I write, I develop new ideas, though admittedly some of them are patently idiotic. I post missives which do not relate to work, in places where it is difficult for my peers to understand the "military utility" of my efforts. What can I say? Some guys hunt, some guys fish, some guys watch sports on TV or do woodwork ... I write. But because of this, I have a moderately unique point of view to offer after seventeen years in uniform.
For example, I believe that the media is the very foundation of our security. I believe this consistently. I even feel this way when I argue against the less-than-stellar track record of some small minority of journalists who fail in relating the facts accurately to the People. Inaccuracy in reporting is dangerous, I believe. And I feel strongly about this because I think good journalism is so damned important. I believe journalism is the #1 defender of our liberties (though that doesn't mean I'm going to stop donating to the ACLU either). On top of this regard for the profession overall is the fact that a good percentage of the men (and some women) I call "friend" are full-time, no-shit, real live journalists. They're from sources like Reuters, and Agence France-Presse, as well as The Washington Post and Wall Street Journal (not to mention the Gannett papers). I like journalists. They're fun to drink with. But that does not mean that I automatically give them a pass when they fail to live up to their own standards.
What I do not like is gross inaccuracy, and particularly obfuscation to cover the same. What I detest the most is a cover-up with a bodyguard of counter-accusations to misdirect those who are interested. Now, all of you are free to discuss among yourselves how this process occurs with this political party or that one, or this major corporation or international body, or whatever. But what I believe I am seeing right now is that process appearing, again, in the media. Specifically, it's being pulled off by the Associated Press.
Yesterday, Dr. A linked to a fine fellow (and sometime Altercator) Eric Boehlert. I've met Eric, we have had e-mail correspondence, and even been to a concert with the good Dr. together (and Chalkie, once again, thanks). I think he is a fine fellow. But he is flat-out wrong on what he wrote about yesterday. I believe that in diminishing this story, in twisting it out of shape, both ends of the political spectrum are doing a disservice. But I am getting ahead of myself ...
Now, in the interest of full disclosure, what I am about to write is about the Associated Press, and I have an, um, history with them. I need to explain that so you can evaluate what I will say. In other words, you need to know the context so you can decide for yourself if I am biased.
In early 2001 the AP called my boss at work (an Army colonel) and tried to get my research (and book) about events that occurred at a place called No Gun Ri, in the summer of 1950, stopped. I was teaching History at West Point at the time. In effect their efforts were an attempt to have my career ended through an adverse report by my boss. Why would they do this? Well, because my research collided with that of the mighty AP. (Cue the irony bell) Because of information I had uncovered about an AP story which dealt with an event of military history, information that revealed that the AP had been completely duped by at least one fraud (and perhaps as many as three), the AP was not happy with me. The AP would not admit that there were any problems, though, and insisted everything was just fine. They chose to counterattack rather than re-examine. When their efforts to coerce my boss into squelching me failed miserably, they contacted my publisher and tried to censor me that way. Again, they did all of this rather than admit that their story had serious problems. The irony of the largest news organization in all of human history attempting to silence an individual soldier is almost too much to believe. But there you go.
So we have a history, do the AP and I. But what was lost in all the accusations against me by the AP was the substance of what I was saying. The AP accused me of being racist, biased, anti-journalistic (because I am in the military, I guess was their thesis) and a lousy writer. I'll cop a guilty plea only to the last.
I was not opposed to their reporting because of who they were; this was not an issue of "the military versus the media," no matter how hard the AP tried to spin it that way. It was an issue of a historian versus journalists, dealing with an issue that occurred 50 years in the past, in which the journalists insisted in using journalistic methods, and I insisted that when writing history, you had to be, uh, historical.
OK, so now you know the background. When confronted (by one man) with inaccuracies in their stories and sources, the AP counterattacked with everything short of the kitchen sink. Then they hurled that at me too. (The fact that their source was later convicted of fraud in a Federal courtroom for lying about his military past, No Gun Ri included, never seemed to matter to the AP, or the Pulitzer committee either for that matter.) Follow me now to the present day.
On Thanksgiving weekend the AP published a story about an attack against four separate mosques. They were all Sunni mosques in the Hurriyah neighborhood of Baghdad according to the original story. Included in that account, was a primary source, one Captain (of Police) Jamil Hussein. The story said that, according to Hussein, six Sunnis had been dragged from one of the mosques, and set on fire before being killed. The story had one Sunni cleric as a corroborating witness, and another source from the extreme end of the Sunni political spectrum, who said that some dozen or more had been immolated. With me so far? OK, here's where it gets complicated.
The next thing that happened was that the Iraqi Ministry of Interior (the MoI is Shia-dominated, one should remember) said that no such captain existed. The U.S. Army concurred, and supplemented that with a report that when they (the U.S. Army, that is) went to the area, they found no signs of immolation (personal or physical), and only one mosque which looked like it had taken some damage from a Molotov cocktail-like device. (This is a glass bottle with gasoline, for those who don't know their WWII Soviet history.) The cleric retracted his statement (something which even I am curious about), and the Association of Muslim Clerics made no more statements, and did not subsequently support the AP version of events.
This is where I enter. I am a sticker for the facts. I want to note now, again, that what follows are personal opinions and analysis (not those of the military or the government), and that in general the media is accurate in their reporting. If you followed some of the links above you'll know that I personally believe that the vast majority of the "mainstream" media is getting it about right in Iraq. But this is also where the story gets twisted.
Eric B is wrong, in my opinion, because the controversy involved in this story of AP reporting is not, after all, a story about the political "Right" (and Military) versus "Left", but in reality a simple one of sourcing. In the original AP story, remember, FOUR mosques were attacked, and firebombed and/or blown up, and six, or perhaps twelve, Sunni worshippers burned to death.
Then some right-wing bloggers noted that the main source, the often-quoted "Captain Jamil Hussein," was only quoted when Sunnis were killed. Folks, that just doesn't make sense. It was at that point that the AP went on the attack. They re-reported, and in their follow-on story, only one mosque was burned, but then the AP rebuts with, "... allegations were checked with the AP reporter, who had been in routine contact for more than two years with Hussein, in some cases sitting in his office in the Yarmouk police station in west Baghdad. Hussein wore a police uniform during the face-to-face meetings." They also said they had new (unnamed) sources, and provided specifics like the "fact" that it was a 1.3 gallon container of kerosene used to immolate the six men.
Now, setting aside the fact that 1.3 gallons would only give about two pints per man. Setting aside also the fact that the AP changed the story from the first version to the second, (where there were four mosques burned and/or blown up in the first version, in the second it is only one, where as many as twelve were killed by burning in the first version, in the second it is only six). Ignore the fact that the Sunnis themselves do not seem to be focusing on this story. And finally, skip over the fact that in the past some American journalism outlets, and particularly their overseas bureaus in a war zone, have in fact harbored real, live, spies for the enemy. (That happened to Time in Vietnam, when they hired a North Vietnamese intelligence officer as a stringer in Saigon.) Forget all of that for a second, and still some facts of geography threw me off as being inaccurate.
The AP, I should note, in their counterattack against those who questioned their story and sources, said, "It's awfully easy to take pot shots from the safety of a computer keyboard thousands of miles from the chaos of Baghdad." The AP executive who said that did so from New York City, but ya know what? Unlike that AP editor, I know something about Baghdad. Having lived in Iraq for a year (returning this past February, if you all recall), and knowing Baghdad well, one additional thing that has blown my mind about this, and the silence from the majority of the media (except E&P, which is covering the story well), is a simple element of geography.
The AP cites their source as being an officer in the Yarmouk district of Baghdad. Fine. Most people in the U.S. and the world don't know Baghdad's geography. But the question that hit me is "why is somebody in Yarmouk the main quoted source (originally) for a story about events in Hurriyah?"
Yarmouk is a neighborhood on the north side of what many people know as "Route Irish." Between Yarmouk and Hurriyah neighborhood are the districts of Al Andalous and Al Mansoor (parallel w/ each other), above that is Al Mutanabbi, and above that is Al Urubah ... before you get to Hurriyah. It's more than 3 miles away. Now for country folk like me, 3 miles isn't but spitting distance. But in a city of 7 million, like NYC or Baghdad, 3 miles is a huge distance.
In other words, in going to their "normal" source for this story, the AP went to the equivalent of a Brooklyn local police precinct for a story that occurred in northern Yonkers! Hello? What would a cop in Brooklyn know about a crime in Yonkers? That's what doesn't make sense to me. (And why didn't the AP reveal, until challenged, that this source was not from the district where the events allegedly occurred, or even from a neighboring district, but is from a moderately distant part of this 7-million-person city?)
Here is a map where you can see for yourself where these districts are in relation to each other.
OK, that's enough for now. You can start doing the research on your own. But remember, this is not about right-v-left. It is about accuracy and hubris. Feel free to write to me at email@example.com.
NBC SAYS FCC IS VIOLATING ITS OWN INDECENCY STANDARD [SOURCE: Broadcasting & Cable, AUTHOR: John Eggerton]
After receiving a terrible tongue lashing from FCC Chairman Kevin Martin, executives of NBC are saying the Commission is indecent. Actually, NBC says that the FCC's profanity findings against phrases like Cher's "Fudge 'em" on Fox's Billboard Awards or Bono's "Fudging brilliant" on NBC's Golden Globes, both cited by the FCC, are misapplied and contrary to "its own standard, common sense, conventional wisdom and ordinary usage." In its brief to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York in the broadcaster court challenge to that new FCC profanity enforcement policy, NBC says the FCC decision should be reversed and that "no reasonable observer could actually conclude that Cher was exhorting the audience to have 'chocolate activities' with those critics, or that her comment related somehow to chocolate-producing organs." NBC says it is not saying a "properly designed indecency regime could never bar the repeated broadcast of expletives used as intensifiers" but that the FCC cannot "transform a standard that expressly requires material to 'describe or depict' sex into a dragnet for words that neither depict nor describe sexual or excretory activity." NBC also argued that the FCC's decision is invalid under the Chevron test, which holds that an appeals court must first determine if the will of Congress was clear in a statute, and if so, that ends the discussion. NBC argues, as it did in its initial brief to the court, that Congress clearly intended to be blasphemous and that the FCC cannot arbitrarily change the definition to fit its regulatory leanings.
CITIZEN GROUPS CRY FOUL OVER FCC VOTE [SOURCE: internetnews.com, AUTHOR: Roy Mark]
The Consumers Union, Consumer Federation of America, Free Press, Public Knowledge and U.S. PIRG wrote the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Tuesday opposing Commissioner Robert McDowell's participation in the AT&T-BellSouth merger vote expected this month. The groups said in their letter that FCC Chairman Kevin Martin's attempt to reverse McDowell's recusal "is a violation of the public trust, sacrificing a valid process of good-faith negotiations among participating commissioners for political expediency and the convenience of the merging parties." The groups said they wrote the letter because the FCC asked AT&T and BellSouth for their views on McDowell's participation but did not ask for public input. Both AT&T and BellSouth said they are not opposed to McDowell's participation. "Given that the combined entity will control half of the business and residential telephone lines in the nation, it is the public, not AT&T or BellSouth, which has the greatest stake in the merger's rejection or approval, with or without conditions," the letter states. "Regardless of how Commissioner McDowell votes on the merger, the public interest is jeopardized."

The Bee Gees, Studio Albums 1967-68 -- When not getting verbally abused for liking the Pet Shop Boys, I'm getting verbally abused for calling the Bee Gees one of the greatest bands of all time. And all I can say to that is, "Your mother was a toaster." For the first time since their initial CD release in the '80s, the first three Bee Gees albums (Bee Gees 1st, Horizontal, and Idea) get remastered and expanded into a limited edition box set. With over 40 bonus tracks, this set is essential. The Bee Gees gained twice as many fans as they lost when they released their legendary soundtrack "Saturday Night Fever," but the majority of those new fans never really knew the brilliant songwriting and Brit-style pop of these seminal records. Hits like "To Love Somebody," "Massachusetts," "New York Mining Disaster 1941," "Holiday," "I've Gotta Get A Message To You," and "World" are all here, with the addition of deep album tracks that were just as strong, and a wealth of unreleased-on-CD B-sides, single mixes and demos. The Bee Gees inspired everyone from the Hollies to XTC to the Posies to Jellyfish and countless others. Take off your propeller hat and nose glasses and be proud to order this box set!
Eric adds: And by the way, the packaging is beautiful and the liner notes richly detailed. This is a real labor of love.

Re: reasons not to like Bloomberg ...
I too like him overall, but in addition to the reasons you mentioned, there's one more that is as underreported as it is huge: his failure to get the re-building of Lower Manhattan either right or on-time after 9/11. Six years later we still have a hole in the ground and a plan for a ridiculous building to come.
I know the mayor doesn't control the whole thing, but he could have used his bully pulpit to much greater effect (and started to after the first five years!).
I'm not sure why Bloomberg gets a pass for this. Maybe because people like him for the many things he gets right.

If Bush wants to turn his presidency around, I have a suggestion that makes about as much sense as any idea he has followed so far.
I call it the George Costanza Policy, based upon the episode of Seinfeld in which George turns his life around by doing or saying the exact opposite of the first thing that comes to his mind.
Let's face it, we are in so deep not even Poppy's old "war horses" like Baker and Gates can bail us out. Heck, even the Saudis appear to be "jumping ship!"

Eric --
Geez, that Freepers link in Paul Corrigan's post was something. I guess on its source site, which bills itself as "Exposing and Combating Liberal Bias," slicing and dicing quotes out of context counts as argument. And the two-cents postings that follow show even shallower reasoning and sophomoric insult-flinging. I know there are liberal blogs that traffic in a similarly lame discourse, but c'mon, is that all they got?
The recurring complaint about the anger of the progressives reminds me of the exchange when Emerson came to bail Thoreau out for his act of civil disobedience. Emerson asked, "What are you doing in there?" to which Thoreau responded, "What are you doing out there?"
Why am I so angry? Why aren't you? Don't you think a democratic republican government is a sacred trust?
But fortunately, Freepers aside, the latest polls of Bush's 27% approval rating on Iraq show that the congressional elections were just the beginning. More Americans are expressing their rejection, if not anger, at how that sacred trust has been abused.

I'm sure you'll receive many notes like this, but Leo's line in Blood Diamond is stolen from Dog Day Afternoon. The Pacino character is negotiating with a cop, played by Charles Durning. Pacino considers the deal he's being offered to be less than favorable to him, so he asks Durning to kiss him. When Durning asks why, Pacino responds "Because I like to get kissed before I get fucked."

Do you remember when Jon Gosselin was trying to come up with the money he had taken from the family bank account? A judge ordered Jon to repay $180,000. Everyone assumed he didn't have that much money and it turns out everyone was right. According to The National Enquirer, Jon got the money from Hailey Glassman. Apparently he took her entire life savings, all $90,000 of it so he could avoid going to jail. She gave it to him but hasn't heard anything back about getting the money.
With no prospects for media work and Jon's aversion to getting a normal job, this could take awhile for Hailey to get her money back.

Dodgers fans have kept a wary eye on the divorce case of owner Frank McCourt, assuming when and if a solution finally comes, financial shackles are off and a return to glory imminent.
Now comes a Los Angeles Times report that lawyers for Frank and Jamie McCourt could be closing in on a settlement, plus a reminder that the franchise hardly is on the verge of peace and prosperity.
Whatever the financial particulars of a settlement might be, Frank McCourt still needs to work out a new local television deal. That's where it gets sticky.
Commissioner Bud Selig rejected an earlier proposal for a deal that would have Fox lending Frank McCourt $200 million with future TV rights as collateral. Fox wants to keep the Dodgers on its regional sports network in Southern California, especially after learning in February that it would be losing the NBA's Lakers after next basketball season to a new regional channel the team is setting up with Time-Warner.
Now, the Times reports, McCourt is working on a 20-year, $3 billion deal with Fox, which would triple the team's TV revenue and that the agreement -- or its cash value -- could be a key element in getting the divorce solved.
All of which would put the situation back in Selig's lap. The commissioner has several difficult financial situations with team ownership in front of him. The Dodgers is one, the Mets and their owners' connections to the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme is another. And rumblings about new stadiums for Oakland and Tampa Bay being a necessity for those teams' survival have begun again.
Despite all that, the bottom line is ... well, good. Forbes came out last month with its annual valuations of major league franchises and led its story with, "Baseball has emerged from the recession with a big bang."
But Forbes also included a special report entitled, "Inside Baseball's Debt Disaster," which focuses on the Dodgers and Mets.
That all adds up to baseball being on solid financial footing despite a few tenuous ownership situations. And even those teams could be sleeping giants if someone could swoop in and buy them, especially if discounted by a struggling owner.
MLB has long brushed off the Forbes reports as frought with inaccuracies, especially because teams' financial books are not available for public perusal. But when teams' financial data was leaked to Deadspin last year, Forbes numbers came out looking pretty good.
A crucial element in much of baseball financial dealings is keeping those books private. Selig and MLB attempt to avoid any court proceedings that make the financial records open. That's why all team owners, as part of getting a team, must sign an agreement that they won't sue the commissioner.
As the Times story on the Dodgers points out, a lawsuit might be McCourt's only recourse if Selig doesn't OK a new TV deal. That could lead to a showdown every bit as nasty as what the McCourts have provided.
So, Dodgers fans, it's not over yet.
Daily Pitch is a baseball fan's destination for breaking news, emerging trends and enlightening banter. With a veteran group of reporters positioned in three time zones, we provide a balanced, comprehensive glimpse at our national pastime, with a nod to both the passion and complexities that make the sport irresistible to many.

Flood disaster and reconstruction: What began as a disaster turned out to be a new opportunity for the old Albertinum. In August 2002 flood water threatened the priceless museum treasures, and within a matter of hours unique paintings and sculptures had to be evacuated from the basement storerooms. This rescue mission would not have been possible without numerous helpers. The underground storerooms did not provide adequate protection for the precious cultural assets. Now a flood-proof workshop and storeroom complex hovers above the inner courtyard of the sandstone-clad building.
That, too, would not have been feasible without the assistance of generous partners. The foundation stone for the new structure and for the complete refurbishment of the Albertinum was laid at an art auction in November 2002 for which 40 renowned artists donated their own works. The auction raised the fantastic sum of 3.4 million Euros. Planning worked commenced. The total costs for the new structure and the restoration work eventually amounted to 46.7 million Euros. Through procedures conducted under the aegis of the state-owned enterprise Sächsisches Immobilien- und Baumanagement, an architectural solution was found which enabled a new structure to be built without altering or destroying the original fabric of this historic building.
The 60 metre long two-storey workshop and storeroom building, which weighs 2700 tonnes, is borne by a steel latticework structure that spans the inner courtyard like a bridge. The central space within the four-wing complex is not affected at all. With this unique and aesthetically pleasing technical solution, the architect Volker Staab and his team have succeeded in creating a flood-proof location in which to store works of art and at the same time generated a high-grade multifunctional inner courtyard. What is more, the spectacular new structure above the inner courtyard is hardly perceptible to visitors. From below it looks like a canopy and from outside it cannot be seen because it does not protrude above the roof of the building. The thoroughly refurbished exhibition halls, on the other hand, do look surprisingly new. What really is new for visitors is the entrance on the side of the building close to the Frauenkirche on Georg-Treu-Platz, and the entrance on the Brühlsche Terrasse has also changed. As before, you can turn left or right to start viewing the exhibitions, but now you can also go straight on. Then you find yourself on a kind of balcony in the inner courtyard, the ground floor of which is one storey below. The visitor also sees the display storerooms behind large panes of glass. However, the storeroom and workshop building is not visible even though the visitor in the courtyard is right under it. With the new Albertinum, Dresden's museum architecture has well and truly arrived in the 21st century: spectacular but unobtrusive.

WK2 Radar Detector - Mirror Power Tap
Here is a DIY to tap power for a radar detector for a 2014 Overland. This may apply to a number of other WK2 models as well. While this is an easy DIY, modify your vehicle at your own risk. Poking the wrong wires or pulling too hard on trim can break something on your nice new truck. With that said, this should take someone with minimal skills 60 minutes or less, and MUCH faster if you are good with your hands. This is very easy on the DIY scale.
Tools and parts: Your hands, invisicord micro cable, and some zip ties. Just Google for "invisicord" and get one of the micro cables, should be about $20. You could make one on your own way cheaper if you want. I suggest getting at least a 20" cable. You won't have enough cable to tuck a 12" invisicord cable into the headliner but it will be long enough to make the connection, however more of the cable is exposed.
We will tap a switched source so your radar detector will automatically shut off when you shut down your truck.
Remove the mirror assembly by grabbing the back of the plastic that rests against the window. The mirror assembly is made up of the mirror plus two pieces of plastic trim. They should all come off together fairly easily when pulling from the back.
Remove the piece of top piece of trim by pressing in on the sides near the top of the plastic. You can see one of the tabs in the second photo. This does not require much force.
Remove the bottom piece of trim by freeing the tabs shown in the third picture (already removed in the photo). Just a little more force than the last piece is necessary, not much.
]Remove the white harness connector by pushing upward on the tab near the bottom and then pulling the harness out.
Remove the blue harness connector by pushing inward in the middle of the harness, then pulling the black clip to the left. The harness will then pop out.
Now that everything is out of the way, the mirror moves freely. Place the positive inisicord prong into the bottom right slot of the harness that attaches to the back of the mirror. There should be a red/pink cable with a yellow stripe going into that slot. The connector should fit snuggly into the slot.
Place the negative invisicord prong into the slot immediately to the left of the one in step 6. There should be a black cable going into that slot. The connector should fit snuggly into the slot.
If you are looking straight at the connector, here are the two slots you want to plug into:
Test the setup by plugging in the other end of the power cable to your radar detector and starting the engine.
Reconnect the white harness by pushing it into the socket.
Reconnect the blue harness by pushing it into the socket and moving the black clip to the right until it locks.
This hex head bolt (first photo) is what holds the mirror to the windshield. The bolt has some raised edges to join itself to the socket that is on the end of the mirror (second photo). It attaches by first turning the mirror 1/6th of a rotation to the right (third photo), pressing the socket up against the bolt, then turning left 1/6th of a rotation. The mirror should now be secured to the windshield.
Tie up the cables and, optionally, tuck the cable behind the headliner to hide it. There is some space there and the headliner is easy to pull just a little bit. [/SIZE]Make sure your connections are still good before buttoning everything up.
Install the bottom piece of trim by aligning the tabs with the slot on the mirror. You will have to give the bottom of the trim a decent whack with the back of your hand to lock it in. You don't have to pound on it, but a bit of a bump is needed.
Install the top piece of trim by snapping it into place. [SIZE=3]This should go in pretty easy.
Grab a beer (or another), pat yourself on the back, you are done! Drive safely!!!

Re: WK2 Radar Detector - Mirror Power Tap
And now for some reason I am unable to edit the post anyways.
Re: WK2 Radar Detector - Mirror Power Tap
Excellent instructions!
45 min to install with a BlendMount in a 2014 Limited.
Get the 20" length Invisicord with fuse, you'll need it to go up through the trim and back down to the detector.
The BlendMount model is the BV1-2008.
Thanks for blazing the trail on this installation. I really wasn't looking forward to popping off the mirror on my new 2014 but you were right, it came off really easy by just tilting forward on the bottom trim piece.
Re: WK2 Radar Detector - Mirror Power Tap
Thanks for the guide! Just did this on my Summit and getting the mirror back on the bolt was a PITA!
Re: WK2 Radar Detector - Mirror Power Tap
Thank you!! Saved me some guess work and possibly broken parts! Mirror came of easy and saved me some time trying to figure out which wires to use. Very interesting way the mirror comes on/off the windshield, but it works! Used the same blendmount off my old car, just had to use some vinyl to shim it so it would tighten down.
Re: WK2 Radar Detector - Mirror Power Tap
:thumbsup: Excellent instructions! :thumbsup:
Re: WK2 Radar Detector - Mirror Power Tap
Thanks for this DIY! It really made it easier for me to install my V1 in a one-day-old 2014 Overland. There were a couple issue for me. One was that there was no blue connector. Mine is black. The other is that I tried to reattach the mirror after the plastic surrounds were in place. That did not work. I had to take the surrounds back off and then attach the assembly to the windshield. Even then, it was a bitch to get connected. But in the end it turned out just how I had hoped.
Re: WK2 Radar Detector - Mirror Power Tap
Definitely bookmarking this thread.
Great post OP!
Re: WK2 Radar Detector - Mirror Power Tap
Thanks it worked well. Used a 9 inch Mirror Tap cord from Blendmount that I had form my 11 Overland. Had to use the Dremmel on the prongs to make them fit.
Re: WK2 Radar Detector - Mirror Power Tap
Done, Just did it.
Ok the trick is:
Press on both sides towards the back of the top elongated cover to release it and pull back from the mirror towards you from the top.
Then grab from both side the other black cover and pull both at the same time sideways to release the second part of the mirror back cover.
Once you have both covers out you dont need to pull the mirror out of the windshield.
Just tap on the plug you see there with black to the black cable and then the red to the Red/pink with yellow stripe.
Voila!!!! no need to pull the whole mirror down which is a pain to put back just took me 5 minutes.
Make sure you make the connection tight to the other cable or the cover will not fit correctly. Put the bottom cover first, give it a hard wack from the bottom to snap in place(not with a hammer Please with the bottom of you fist) and then from the top of the mirror install the other one.

Scope and Content Note
Tuesday Music Club at Park and Success
This collection contains materials that document the activities of the Tuesday Music Club of Lakeland. Materials are organized into 33 scrapbooks dating from 1921 through 2000. The collection also includes yearbooks dating from 1923-24 to 2012-13, and minutes of meetings from 1974 to 2000. Many of these latter records are duplicated in the scrapbooks.
The collection contains newspaper articles and photos, programs of local and state meetings, membership yearbooks, annual reports, history and photographs of the club and its members, and a constitution and by-laws. Correspondence, telegrams, cards, bulletins, certificates, scholarship recipients, and various other ephemera (ink drawing, color prints, postcards, etc.) are also included.
Some highlights from the collection include a letter from President Harry Truman (found in volume 4) and the following history (found in volume 7). Mrs. Clarence A. (Bertha) Cole invited 12 women to an organizational meeting at her home in the fall of 1920. In 1921 the Tuesday Music Club became affiliated with the State and National Federations. Several members have served on the State Board. The Club has been a motivating force in the growth and development of the musical culture of Lakeland its service during WWII.
The Club met in many different facilities: private homes, the Elks Club, the American Legion Home, Florida Southern College, the Woman's Club, the Mayhall Auditorium, and Westminster Presbyterian Church before moving to their current home at 421 East Park Street in 1954. A new building was erected on property donated by Mrs. W. H. Munn in memory of her husband. Mrs. Cole, founder of the Tuesday Music Club, died April 19, 1957 (her obituary is in vol. 7).
In 1928, Mrs. Cole, believing that Lakeland needed an organization composed exclusively of music lovers who were themselves performing artists, took part in the founding of what was then called the Lakeland Young Artists Club. Today it is known as the Bertha Cole Music Club. Its records are found in RG5630.
The scrapbooks occupy 5 linear feet of shelf space.

Personality Hotels, a collection of seven San Francisco boutique hotels, selects GuestWare to power its fast-growing Personality Perks guest loyalty program. GuestWare's Enterprise Guest Recognition system makes it easy for the company to recognize and reward those loyal guests who visit any of its seven boutique properties.
The new Personality Perks Web profile sign-up screen interacts directly with GuestWare using Web services to collect guest preference information such as preferred hotel, room location, bed and pillow type, and whether or not a guest wishes to receive a complimentary newspaper or snack. GuestWare Enterprise consolidates these preferences as well as the history of every guest's stay into one database to efficiently manage the loyalty program and help the hotels consistently meet or exceed guest expectations.
Executive office personnel, central reservations and front office staff all have access to the data that forms the basis for Personality Hotels' guest recognition program. Before implementing GuestWare, a manual process was used to track the stays of the company's repeat guests. Now, thanks to an interface with Personality Hotels' property management system, expected arrivals are automatically matched with previous customers and loyalty members to prepare for each repeat guest arrival and automate rewards and redemption.
"Every morning, we review a list of arrivals that have already been matched up with names in GuestWare," says David Issel, COO of Personality Hotels.
Personality Perks participation growing
Travelers who sign up for Personality Hotels' Personality Perks program are rewarded with a complimentary gift and are given free local phone calls, free wireless Internet access, a free bottle of water, and a free room upgrade upon availability. Guests who stay a total of 20 room nights receive a free night. According to Issel, approximately 1,500 people now participate in Personality Perks.
"We have been very pleased with Guestware," Issel says. "It gives us the ability at the corporate level to quickly identify our most loyal guests. The database within GuestWare gives us the information we need to tailor and push promotions to our guests, and analyze the demographics of our most frequent visitors."
GuestWare's Enterprise software allows any group of hotels to recognize repeat guests and efficiently deliver upon personal preferences at every location. GuestWare Enterprise allows small and mid-size hotel groups like Personality Hotels to create and manage unique recognition- and reward-based loyalty programs to compete with the larger brands. Providing immediate perks for guests to sign up for not only makes it easier to recognize repeat guests but helps build the ideal database for targeted marketing. GuestWare uses the same database for marketing and service delivery to support a single view of the customer and to create sustainable customer relationships.

So the wife is going to have another puppy and has ruled out Boba as a possible name *** . Bobby or Bobbi are out too.

So the wife is going to have another puppy and has ruled out Boba as a possible name *** . Bobby or Bobbi are out too.
So who has got or named there younglings from Star Wars, and how many wives know it
You could always go with Robert Allen. Bob for short of course, middle initial A. thus Bob A.
We don't have any kids yet, but we do have 5 cats. We started with just 1 Aayla, found out she was pregnant and ended up with 4 of her kittens, (only managed to give away 1) The rest of their names are Aragorn, Gandalf (he's solid grey of course), Eowyn, and Anakin, who is solid black and was a mamma's boy when he was still a kitten. So we've got 2 Star Wars names and 2 LOTRs names.
Hey Rob as you know my little girl is called 'Freya' closest thing I could get to leia...
Before my twins were born, I told people they were going to be named Han and Chewina. Unfortunetly they ended up with plain Earth names.
my Jack Russell is named Yoda
My friend's police dog is named Bossk.
Zuckuss. Biggs / Darklighter. Wedge. Agen. Quinlan / Voss. Thrawn. Jabba. Max Reebo. Droopy McCool.
My Australian shepard's name is Chewbacca. He lives up to the name.
My godchildren are Jacen & Jaina. I'm pretty sure it was their mother's idea.
Ended up naming my son Daniel Anakin instead. ( some call him Danakin )
Used both first and middle names for my daughter Aayla Jade
My cousin also named his daughter Leia ( but pronounce it Leah )
My childhood dog's name was Kneesaa. Not the coolest name but since she was a girl my 8-year-old self exclaimed that we couldn't call her Wicket. Oh, and the dog before that was named Luke.
My name is Luke (named after Cool Hand not Skywalker) and I insisted one of the cats have a Star Wars name so my daughter settled on Solo, it fits him.
My son's middle name is Bane, after Darth Bane. lol
I have a friend whose last name is Walters. She named her son Luke Sky. Luke Sky Walters.
My son is Lucas Walker, Keep telling the wife if we have a girl gonna mane her anakin sky
Almost got away with 'Anna Kim' for my daughter but my wife spotted that one just in time. But I have got a friend who managed a Luke and his brother is George!!!
My son is named Benjamin, which I got from Ben Kenobi. I didn't tell my wife that until it was too late!
Some great name there, but Luke Sky Walters is a touch out there!
Quite like Deckard, but I just know it is not going to happen..... boo hoo. So far the closest I have come to any kind of sci-fi name is Max(amillion) of course.
Queen Ima-Dogga
Boba Fetch
Toby One Konobi
Just a few quick ones
Then again my dogs are named Ruger and GiGi
Now my daughter is named Reagan Thatcher Esau. Yes we are republicans...

As the son of a man who walked a thousand miles to get the hell out of the Ukraine, I must confess not being the most supportive person for that nation. My grandfather go the hell beat out of him by Ukrainian thugs and a few hundred Jews died during the pogrom of 1905. So, what is new in the Ukraine in 2012? Another thug in power named Prime Minister Yanukovich and another thug using his power to oppress people.
He organized a farce of a trial against former Prime Minister Yulia Tymonshenko for signing a bill that was controversial. Heck, if in America we locked up any government official who backed a law that was not popular, there would be no room left in our jails. The British government announced it would boycott the opening rounds of the 2012 Euro football games to protest the farce trial of Tymonshenko. British officials expressed the "widespread concern about selective justice and the rule of law in the Ukraine."
Boy, is that historically correct!!


text: Recieved the double mag pouch from Sam Andrews for my Glock 36. Took it out of the box and was checking it out, was perfect as I expected. Picked up the box and it felt heavy for a supposedly empty box with some packing in it. Lo and behold there were also 2 single mag pouches in there. A nice note from Sam saying that he had the two single mag pouches just laying around for the 36 and thought I could use them. How is that for a sweet deal on some really great leather? I now have 2 of his holsters and 4 mag pouches. I'm sure with service like this I'll be doing more business with Sam in the future.

This infographic includes highlights from the second annual Customer Engagement Technology Study. By 2015, nearly all hotels and restaraunts will have a website that's been optimized for mobile platforms, which is good news considering how important they are when engaging consumers. Curiously, QR codes are poor tools for engaging customers, yet more than 1/3 of restaurants use them.
Check out these highlights, and then download the complete report here. It contains 143 findings on how your competitors are engaging guests.

Frequently asked questions
When do events take place?
Schedules of events are posted on the website as they are confirmed.
What is this festival?
It's a celebration of literature and literacy for lovers of books and reading everywhere. We are a festival of ideas as expressed through the written arts.
What events are included in the festival?
A variety of readings, writing workshops, seminars and other types of sessions devoted to readers and writers, reading and writing, and the writing life. More and more programs are being geared toward children. The Book Club Buzz is especially appealing to readers!
Are there any related events planned prior to September 8 – 10?
School activities at the grade school, middle school, or high school level are in the works. As events are confirmed, they will be posted on the schedule page.
Where will the festival take place?
Events will be offered at a number of locations in and around Burnsville, including the Burnsville Town Center; the Burnsville Town Hall, the Snap Dragon, and other venues. Some activities will be large in scale and others intentionally small in order to encourage intimate conversations between authors and attendees.
Who are the invited authors, dramatists, and storytellers?
See our authors page. Each year they are chosen for their ability to contribute to the festival and its particular theme. We try to have some repeat favorites, but also to introduce new regional authors.
Why did you schedule so many events happening at the same time? And how am I to decide which to attend?
Yes, that is a problem. Good luck figuring out which readings to attend. Even those of us who planned this have a hard time figuring it out. While we do have some large gatherings planned, it is our intent to have many small gatherings that offer a more personal exchange between authors, readers, and aspiring writers.
Who is behind this effort?
The festival idea was born when a small group of local citizens and businesspersons spontaneously came together in 2006 around the goal of giving greater exposure to the art of writing and the joys of reading in an area already famed for its colony of artists in other media. Originally, that group consisted of literacy advocate Myrna Stephens; Wendy Reid, owner of The Design Gallery; poet Britt Kaufmann; children's book author Karen Miller; artist Anne Sabri, and health care consultant and aspiring writer Ruth Perschbacher Price and her husband, historical novelist Charles F. Price. Now it also includes downtown booster Lucy Gregory Doll, poet and community volunteer Kathy Weisfeld, librarian, runner, super-mom and new director of the Avery-Mitchell-Yancey Regional Libraries Amber Westall Briggs, artist and arts advocate Jane Brown Willig, and many others.
In the years since, more individuals and organizations have caught the enthusiasm of the core group and have volunteered to take part in various ways. These include Together We Read, the Asheville-based organization whose mission is to develop in Western North Carolina a love of reading through the shared experience of well-chosen books; the Yancey County Literacy Council, offering no-charge literacy tutoring to adults and children in the region; and MAYread, Inc., a collaborative public/private organization serving as an advocate and clearinghouse for issues relating to inadequate literacy skills affecting the local economy, employment opportunities, entertainment choices, and quality of life.
Also cooperating are the Avery-Mitchell-Yancey Regional Library System, represented by Director Amber Westall Briggs.
I would like to recommend an author. Is there still space?
Please click here.
How can I get more info and/or volunteer to help?
You can send an e-mail to email@example.com or write to the Carolina Mountains Literary Festival, Box 355, Burnsville, NC 28714. A column about the festival can be found in the Yancey Common Times Journal and will be posted on this site. You may also leave a message at 828.208.4731 and a member of the Steering Committee get back to you after business hours (we all work full time).

Small brick wall quote. Do you think it is ok?
Hi All,
I got a quote (labor only) of $1800 to lay 3 walls of an addition. Each about 15' long and 3.5'high.
What do you think of this quote?
More importantly, what do you think of the quality of work and reliability of the brickie?
Well quality aside, is this a good quote?
I guess I am saying, if it is good quality does it seem too high.
In my opinion it is ludicrousbut then again I dont know what is normally charged.
Small brick wall quote. Do you think it is ok?
You don't know anything about the cost, but you think it is too high?
Quality aside? Can you recognize quality or you just go by appearance?
Sounds like you should just shop it out to the low bidder and then talk about the quality when the job is done.
Realistically, you have not given enough information to make a real comment on. - Brick ledge in place?, flashing? weeps, access and logistics?
With your description/comments, a good mason would not normally bother to quote and would leave the job for those that can only get work by being cheap.
No brick ledge. He was going to charge me $1600 to pour a brick ledge. I am bolting angle and will lay from there.
Yes I will have them do the weep holes and flashing.
I guess what I am asking is what is a price range per square foot that you would charge to do a job like this.
He is charging me like $12/sq ft
How does his quote compare to others that are willing to do the job?
What about footings??? It's hard to say what a fair price is for your area. You should NEVER (notice the italics, bold, underline) shop by price. If price is your biggest concern, you're better off not doing the improvement. It's better to pay more and have the job done right the first time, than have to pay to have it done twice.
You should get at least 3 estimates from reputable contractors. Check their references. Check with the BBB to see if they've had complaints filed and then ask the contractor for clarification if they have. Misunderstandings do occur.
...or you can do what I did and just do it yourself. :)
The link below cost me $2k just for the blocks alone and then there were lots of costs on top of that. I have never done a retaining wall before and I did it just by looking around on the web. If you have the ability to do so, save the money and do it yourself, after all that what DIY is all about:
If you have questions along the way, most of us here are more than willing to help out via answering all kinds of questions...
From what I have been told by my neighbor whom is a GC, I saved at least $3k by doing it myself.

2-Way Remote Start. Trying to decide on one
I'm in the market for a 2-way remote start, maybe even that iPhone remote start as well if it's not too much more. I wanted to see what your guys thoughts on the systems were.
I found compustar and viper which were both around $400 installed with a 2way communicator. The smartstart (viper iphone app) would be an extra $250. Drone (compustar iphone app) seems to be way more expensive at around $1000 installed.
Any good recommendations or info on remote starts? I would probably want to either tie it into my current alarm system or just get an aftermarket alarm which would cost more but I want everything to work off the same remote.
Any info is appreciated! I plan to get this somewhat soon after I make up my mind. Thanks.

Sounds like a good day at the range! It's a lot of fun finding something that you love to shoot.
This is a discussion on Range Day part 2 within the General Firearm Discussion forums, part of the Related Topics category; went to the range this past wednesday since it was my day off. this time we took mom. started off fine dad went through the ...
went to the range this past wednesday since it was my day off. this time we took mom. started off fine dad went through the basics with mom handed her the ruger sr9 and i swear first shot it rattled her so bad she pointed the gun to the side (where im at) i hit the deck so fast dad was kind of amazed i could still move that fast lol. anyways to add to a very good day at the range there was this old man who showed up asked if id be interested in trying a custom built .45 i mean honestly who would pass that up. handed me the pistol and a box of reloads and said have fun i was in heaven
i swear the recoil on it was less then my 9mm i fell in love with it hahaha.
then he breaks out a ruger mk 22 im talking a model that was made before they started stamping the mk on it i mean it was that old, then he had a mk 22/45 with a bull barrel. now i can honestly say before that day i had never really messed with a .22 pistol but after going through about 300 rounds of .22 im in love it was just so much fun messing with it i honestly encourage everyone to try it atleast once. i cant wait for another range day i have already made up my mind next pay check im getting a ruger mk 22/45.

Sounds like a good day at the range! It's a lot of fun finding something that you love to shoot.
I regularly run 100 rounds thru my Glock 30 conversion kit after I shoot up my .45 Auto rounds. Practice is practice!
I, too, once shot an accurized 1911 and was pretty amazed with it. I'd always heard the old GI stories that it wouldn't hit a barn wall from the inside. But the expense of that isn't something I'm ready to deal with.

Zac Posen's Z Spoke line never feels too different from season to season; it's always got a few playful details, a sense of youthful glamour. But the inspirations and the details do change. His spring / summer 2013 collection, unveiled during New York fashion week (NYFW), was channeling Hollywood glamour. Not that you couldn't have guessed that from the long satin gowns and soft tailoring.

A campy sixties spy theme, an engaging story, and diverse missions make this one of the more appealing games we've played in a while. The alluring female lead is required to perform almost every Hollywood-style spy task imaginable, from stealing intelligence documents to stealthy infiltration, undercover work, and midair parachute acquisition. The result is a gripping blend of action and interaction.

Tuesday November 5th, 2013 12:36am
Baltimore, Md. — Over the last five years, Inside Lacrosse has set the standard for promoting lacrosse with events such as the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic. This early season celebration for the sport has attracted more than 76,000 fans in its four-year history. The event has been a showcase for the elite names in college lacrosse, often serving as a preview of the NCAA Championships. Three of the last four national champions have started their season in the Face-Off Classic: Johns Hopkins in 2007, Syracuse in 2008 and Duke in 2010.
It's no wonder that lacrosse fans circle the date for the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic on their calendars each year. This year's Face-Off Classic is set for Saturday, March 12 at M&T Bank Stadium with a game lineup that once again pits the top teams in college lacrosse against each other. Four of the six participating teams are ranked in the top 10 of the current Nike/Inside Lacrosse media poll and both the No. 1 and No. 2 teams will feature in the event.
Game No. 1 – No. 1 Syracuse vs No. 14 Georgetown (11:00 a.m.)
Game No. 2 – No. 5 Cornell vs No. 2 Virginia (1:30 p.m.)
Game No. 3 – No. 9 Johns Hopkins vs UMBC (4:00 p.m.)
Fierce BIG EAST rivals No. 1 Syracuse and No. 14 Georgetown meet in the first game of the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic. The top ranked Orange return to the Face-Off Classic after last playing in the 2008 edition. A win over Syracuse would give Georgetown its first victory in the series since 2006 and almost certainly elevate the Hoyas to a top 10 ranking.
The second game pairs No. 2 Virginia and No. 5 Cornell. Bitter losses in the NCAA Semifinals saw both teams end its 2010 campaign at M&T Bank Stadium last May. The two opponents faced each each other in the 2009 NCAA Semifinals, with the Big Red earning a 15-6 win. The Cavaliers gained a measure of revenge with a convincing 12-4 win at Cornell in the 2010 regular season.
Baltimore area foes No. 9 Johns Hopkins and UMBC will close out the event. Despite their geographic proximity to each other the Blue Jays and the Retrievers have only met eight times. Hopkins has won all eight matchups, including all six since the series resumed in 2005. Last year, JHU topped UMBC 16-10 at Homewood Field. A tight game through much of the third quarter, UMBC trailed 10-9 before the Blue Jays went on a 6-1 run to close out the game and seal the win.
Tickets are now on sale for the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic. Ticket prices are: $35 for Club Level seats; $22 for Lower Level reserved seats; $18 for groups of 10 or more; and $12 for groups of 100 or more. Parking can also be purchased in advance for $15. All seating locations are reserved.
Lacrosse fans interested in ticket information can call the Baltimore Ravens box office at 410-261-RAVE. In addition to the Ravens' box office, fans can purchase through Ticketmaster online at Ticketmaster.com or by phone at 800-745-3000. Fans can also visit FaceOffClassic.com to get the latest news on the event and details on ordering tickets.
"This is a great lineup of games," stated Andy Bilello, Associate Publisher for Inside Lacrosse and the event's director. "We welcome back Syracuse and Virginia, teams that participated in the first two Face-Off Classics in 2007 and 2008. Those two enter the season as the top two teams in the national polls. They are joined by a perennial power in Johns Hopkins and three new teams to the event in Cornell, Georgetown and UMBC. It's a mix that includes teams that are accustomed to being in the spotlight and a few teams that are receiving an exciting opportunity to play on a big stage."
"We've found that teams often raise their level of play in this setting. Last year, the three games were decided by a total of four goals, two in overtime. We're looking for more thrilling finishes on March 12."

Feb. 4, 2013
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 16-ranked University of Michigan women's swimming and diving team was chosen as the recipient of the January BASF Team Chemistry MVP Award. The team will be recognized for its accomplishments during the nationally televised men's basketball game on Tuesday (Feb. 5) vs. Ohio State at 9 p.m. inside Crisler Center.
BASF, the world's leading chemical company, is the creator of the Team Chemistry MVP Award. BASF, which has facilities in Wyandotte and Southfield, Mich., will recognize one group in the athletic department from across all sports at least once a month that represents the best qualities of team chemistry and its importance both on and off the field.
Mike Bottom is in his first year leading the combined men's and women's swimming and diving programs and his fifth year overall at Michigan. During January the women posted a 3-1 record in dual meets, punctuated by a 163-137 victory over then-No. 15 Ohio State on Jan. 18. The Wolverines also defeated in-state rival Michigan State for the 26th meet in a row on Jan. 25, and U-M bested Big Ten foe Northwestern on Jan. 12. The swimmers also won the Orange Bowl Classic on Jan. 3 in Key Largo, Fla., taking first in all 12 races and setting 10 new meet records. Currently the Wolverines are ranked No. 16 by the College Swimming Coaches Association of America.
Several Michigan swimmers were honored by the Big Ten throughout January. Senior Deirdre Jones (Nashville, Tenn./University School of Nashville) was named Big Ten Swimmer of the Week for her two victories in the Orange Bowl Classic. Junior Angela Chokran (South Elgin, Ill./St. Charles North) earned Big Ten Swimmer of the Week honors for her two first-place finishes over Ohio State. Freshman Marni Oldershaw (Oakville, Ontario/Iroquios Ridge) was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week for her two wins in the Orange Bowl Classic.
