Tour Down Under reveals a road star in the making,kevin love jersey
AS THE dust settled on the windblown summit of Old Willunga Hill where the fifth stage of the jason kidd jersey Tour Down Under nike nfl jerseys had just finished on Saturday afternoon, talk was not just of the new Australian race leader Simon Gerrans among allen iverson jersey the thousands who had flocked to watch it all unfold.
Nor was it just about the rider who beat Gerrans (GreenEDGE) for the stage win,nba jersey 249,kevin love jersey, Spaniard Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) and the understandable nfl jersey concern about how good Valverde's victory was for the sport in his first event since returning from a two year ban for paul pierce jersey a breach of anti doping laws.
There were many names on the lips of those who witnessed a terrific day of racing in this crucial 151.5 kilometre stage that dwyane wade jersey began in McLaren Vale and included two ascents of Old Willunga Hill. There was Michael Rogers (Sky),russell westbrook jersey 905, who showed he was in his best early season in many years by his solo attack with two kilometres to go before finishing fourth on the stage at four seconds; and his Norwegian teammate, Edvald Boasson Hagen,kevin love jersey, the strongest climber among the sprinters who proved his candidacy for the uphill finale was justified with his sixth place, eight seconds further james harden jersey back.
There was Matt Lloyd (Lampre ISD) came unstuck after the first ascent of Old Willunga Hill when he cheap nfl jerseys went slightly off road and personalized nfl jerseys blake griffin jersey lost his place near the front; and poor Bernie Sulzberger (UniSA Australia), who rightfully hoped to impress the World Tour teams, but then punctured near the final climb.

cat recomendations
I need a cat for an 01 STS. The muffler shop didn't stock one and "couldn't" get one. Shopped around and many parts places didn't/couldn't/wouldn't have one. A mechanic buddy of mine found one for $355.
Am I stuck with this being the only option? What alternatives and who sells them?
Re: cat recomendations
Original GM parts. There are many threads in here over the past 3 years on emissions and code problems with aftermarket cats. The OEM is a high-flow unit and a significant part of the sensor and engine controls system depends on what that cat does to the "after cat" O2 sensor output.
You can try anything you want, but be ready for emissions and "service engine soon" lights.
Try Lindsay Cadillac over there ------->, parts, Luke, or www.gmpartsdirect.com (Flow Cadillac/Chevrolet, Winston-Salem, NC), or www.gmotors.com (Brasington Cadillac/Saab, Gainesville, FL).
Re: cat recomendations
I purchased one off of ebay for me 00 Lade. It came with free shipping right to my door. It was around $275 or so versus the $1006 the dealer wanted. Me mechanic charged another $100 to throw it on for me. And I was a happy camper. God Bless,Joe
Re: cat recomendations
Sadly, a lot of times on Seville bodies the catalyst only comes with the complete exhaust! (this is more of an issue for CA cars)
48 state cars have a cat service kit you can buy. Try looking OE if you can and get a price.
Fooling around in the aftermarket on cats usually gets you a headache.
However, you get a 5 year 50,000 mile warranty by law. The cat must do the same job as the OE and if you get it replaced and the MIL comes on they have to keep fixing it until they get it right or you can go after them on it. A lot of grief though....
The complete exhaust can be around $1,300 depending on application.
Re: cat recomendations
Oh and by the way, the catalyst and ECM are usually 8 year 80,000 mile warranty components.
Be sure to check with the dealer.
How do you know it is bad?

Re: cat recomendations
My 2002 STS had its Cat replaced under the 8 year warranty...
And let me say that the quality of the OEM cat has me looking at it with one eyebrow up. The original was a complete unit and the replacement is a cut and replace... bolted to the the exhaust manifold... but just clamped to the head pipe... and it hangs down a good inch maybe inch and a half lower then the original unit...
I can also add that my wife has a aftermarket "direct fit" cat on her 99 4Runner with zero issues and I have a universal fit cat on my 87 442 with zero issues too.
I would always try for OEM parts first... but just cause the OEM part cost 10 times more doesn't make it 10 times better.

A Word in Season
No Anxieties: Confronting our Dust in Faith
"Memento, homo . . . quia pulvis es, et in pulverem reverteris" (cf. Gen. 3:19). "Remember, man, you are dust and to dust you will return."
That is a beautiful and poetic way to recall the hard reality that one day we will, indeed, die. This classic text from Genesis, still used in many Catholic churches with the distribution of ashes on Ash Wednesday, reminds us of our mortality. No matter how flowery or impressive the language, the truth remains: God's own words tell us that death will come to all of us. And we are called to bear it in mind.
It's one of the touchstones of Lent, this intentional remembering that life on earth is short compared to the promise of eternity. Our time on planet Earth really means something. And the really big questions of life are always related to certainty of death, but more than that, they are subject to the economy of grace. But we cannot appreciate one without the other. And so we must remember.
I have vivid memories whereby I have grappled with my own mortality, both in and out of the season of Lent.
When I was little, there was a fire in my grandmother's house. No one was hurt, but I remember the resulting thick black dust and ash. Much was lost. But the family was safe despite the shock of soot and cinders that remained. Th style="padding-left: 30px;"at was my earliest memory of how someone might actually die. And that it could happen overnight without notice.
Decades later in 1991, I was a young mother driving our modest sedan to morning Mass with our two children strapped into car seats. I drove up a notoriously steep hill when suddenly, from the top of the hill, an oncoming car swerved into our lane.
Before that moment I thought that "having one's life flash before one's eyes" was just an expression. Like an ethereal movie playing above the dashboard, brief scenes from my life flickered before me. Remarkably, a simultaneous adrenalin rush jolted me to take evasive action. Still, the resulting collision totaled our car, and took off the front end of a Camaro that belonged to a sleepy young woman coming home from a third shift. Thankfully, the children emerged unharmed, as was the other driver. It took me a year to recover from that whiplash.
Eventually I healed and moved on, armed with fearsome knowledge that life can be changed in an instant.
And then it did happen. Again.
In May 1996, I was a mother of three when a pathology report changed my life, indicating I had an early breast cancer. This time there was no split-second Technicolor mental movie. I had months to deal with the deeper, more drawn-out life assessment that accompanies a cancer patient and, really, any person diagnosed with a serious illness.
Getting in touch with one's mortality is often a messy but necessary business. And it usually comes upon us in the harder times. There is the confronting of the pangs of bodily ills or limitations, but also the disorders of one's soul. And it is often hard to discern which one demands the most attention. It is really hard to separate one from the other; on some level, you realize you must deal with the whole of it.
The Catholic Church gets this about us and supplies what we need. As human persons we are body and soul. Both were designed for eternity. Both need to be tended-to as a unity; that's why the sacraments are both supernatural (graces poured out) and temporal (uses of form and matter—the prayers and the earthly signs of water, bread, wine, oil, vows, etc.).

To riff off the Alice Roosevelt Longworth line: if you don't have anything nice to say about Rupert Murdoch, go sit next to David Shuster. The MSNBCer and former Fox Newser has no love lost for his old employer.
Shuster's latest is that Hillary, she of long memory, will be holding a grudge against Murdoch, whose NewsCorp owns the New York Post and Fox News, for the unflattering coverage the Post gave Clinton in the closing days of the New Hampshire primary campaign.
View video here.
JOE SCARBOROUGH [hidden behind that NY Post front page]: I want to show you a couple of headlines here. We've been talking about this. Murdoch's papers went after her the past couple of days. I would guess that she probably doesn't feel too favorably towards him right now. You have some information on that.
DAVID SHUSTER: Yeah, I was talking to some Clinton supporters last night, some pretty key supporters, and they were saying that they have long been frustrated that Hillary Clinton has seemed to sometimes cozy up to Rupert Murdoch as he tries to sort of cover his bets over the last year. That she's very cordial to him and to Roger Ailes at Fox News. And these Clinton supporters were saying last night that Hillary Clinton is going to have a changed, a new sort of frame of reference toward Rupert Murdoch because they are convinced that the Clintons are going to see that Rupert Murdoch was essentially kicking her when the Murdoch empire felt that she was down with the sort of headline that you were just showing.
And they were suggesting that while it was a bad night for Barack Obama, that the person who's got the worst hangover right now is Rupert Murdoch. Because if Hillary Clinton goes on to win this thing, the Clinton people, who have very long memories for how the media treats them, are not going to forget that New York Post headline from yesterday and from Monday morning.
Mika Brzezinski chimed in approvingly: "absolutely right."

2005 2litre
I bought a Z4 in July and since then I have taken it back a few times for the same reasons.
1. Water is getting trapped under drivers side - I can hear the water swooshing when I brake, is this a know fault? The garage where I bought it claim it is because I park near a tree?
2. Airbag warning light - it just stays on the first time I took it back the mechanic said it was passenger seat sensor and this light can come on if you move your seat? I'm pretty sure BMW would not design a car where if you move your seat the light comes on. Again is this a known fault?
Please help
It is a rather common issue...at least I hear a lot of people complaining about it. Replacing the sensor requires removing the seat and pulling it apart(upholstery) I hear it's costly.
Has anyone here used a Seat sensor Bypass? They sell them online and fix the issue(Airbag-light will still have to be reset). The only difference is the Airbags will deploy on passenger side even if nobody is sitting there during a wreck. Cheap fix and much better than riding with Airbag light on, which will prevent airbag system from deploying at all(from what indy mechanic told me).
If anyone has used a sensor bypass please give us some feedbak.

We spent two years researching resorts and cities in Mexico and found Villa La Estancia to be our paradise. Riviera Nayarit is now the place to be in all of Vallarta. We wanted the best oceanfront villa the resort had available and decided to splurge!!!!! Our guests are glad we did too!!!!
5 star quality in Mexico on the beach.
We love that we are able to walk to the small town of Bucerias where we can experience a real old Mexican town.
We have everything we want at Villa La Estancia. We hope that you will enjoy our villa 1302 Oceanfront as much as we do.

It's an M-16 with a suppressor and no mag in well and i can't see how she'd carry one OTOH she looks really good in stripes 😉
africanjon says:
M-16, mags are in speed pouch on sling in front of her. What looks like a suppressor is just the chair legs fwd of her at the same angle as the weapon. She's off duty but in reserve at a public venue and so is armed.

Banana clips.

Its M-16.
The licences is to CARY not to have. You must cary all time or put in special safe or the police station.
Israel army have a special hilder to hold 2 magazines – thats all the lady need.
Very normal in Israel everywhere. Yes ready all time. Israel is bombed by about 5-10 miseles a day from the gaza strip and 2-3 trying to put bombs a week and 2-4 individual attack by palestinians on civilians in the street – need the gun.
And Happy new year to every one, its the jewish new year (Mon.-Tue)

One of my sisters is an archaeologist who digs at Ashkelon in the summer. A few years back I got an email, "Oh MAAAN, Hamas just blew up our candy store…"
This last summer, she had a few students and a faculty member give up and return home after the Iron Dome stopped a few Katushen (sp?) rockets directly over their hotel.
On a 10-day trip to Israel about 20 years ago, we were shot at in Bethlehem, [had our minivan] stoned in Nazareth and were hit with Army teargas in Jerusalem (on Easter Sunday, no less!)…
While I think the Israel treatment of Palestinians is horrid (it's practically apartheid), this is no way to live day-in-day-out.. the mindset that it breeds is brutal.
tc says:
Shabbat shalom,
I wonder if the question is ever asked, "Does the M-16 make my butt look big or should I go for the UZI instead and are white guns allowed after labour day?" (PS wouldn't a civilian model be an AR-15). Also, does an practising Jew use a machine gun on the sabbath if a shabbat goy is not available? Does etiquette and protocol apply to firearms?
A friend had the misfortune of being in Tel Aviv during Desert Storm 1 and told me about the incredibly hot women dressed for clubbing while carrying gas masks. Had another friend who grew up in Northern Ireland during "The Troubles" and I cannot imagine living in a veritable war zone. I'm Korean and the routine air raid drills when I went back to visit were unsettling. I was told to assume it wasn't a drill because the North Koreans were crazy enough to actually try something and had.
PS I got to give respect to a culture that prizes thought, scholarship and a warrior spirit. Oh, and some really hot female soldiers.

If we had a sexy gal toting a gun like this, then the Aurora movie shootings would never have happened – and that dude would be dead! The best medecine for terrorism.
PlainBill says:
I always laugh when I read such a comment. On August 23rd, 2012 Jeffrey Johnson ambushed Steve Ercolino. Johnson was shot and killed by two policemen who had been standing within arms length of him when he opened fire. 9 bystanders were wounded by police gunfire, none seriously. Note that this occurred on the street, and certainly the policemen were doing their best to stop the assailant without injuring bystanders.
Now let's take a crowded theater, a gunman who throws a smoke bomb into the theater before entering, and a number of movie goers armed with M16s – magazines close at hand. How many of those movie goers would be hit by friendly fire? How many of the 'protectors' would be able to correctly identify the assailant, and how many would target another protector?
But on the important stuff, yeah, she does look good in stripes.
bldrfish says:
I think the people on this beach had a nice time on the day this pic was taken. No terrorist trying to ruin their day.

Just because the fractured quote was stolen from Robert Heinlein does not make it any less true.
gyffes says:
I read that by a journalist in Afghanistan during the RussianWar years.
And I've seen it in action at the gun range.
On the other hand, as someone above pointed out, cops can fire 17 rounds at someone and miss with every one.. what would a crowd of morons with guns do to each other?
Kemperite says:
Union cops do not count as responsible gun owners. I've seen first hand the apathy of a unionized police force. They shot the SUV behind the armed suspect to an unsalvagable state (just last month) and with nearly 100 rounds fired the suspect was carted off in an ambulance with non-life-threatening wounds. I'll take the "crowd of morons" over a police force of union thugs any day when it comes to accuracy on target.
goodgreg says:
First, most cops are horrible shots, don't spend much time on the range and have low standards to meet. On top of that, cops have no responsibility for their collateral damage. That said, many people who regularly carry are serious, spend time at the range and are well aware that they own every bullet that comes out of the barrel.
ftbotsb says:
By the way, she has to account for every bullet she has in her clip.
I pray for Peace, Prosperity and Porn. I mean, seriously: Thank you Nick. for fullfilling one of my prayers.
Happy New Year 5773 L'Shannah Tova.

Kind of makes me wonder what she does with it when she goes swimming….

Jan 2008
I am interested in hearing reviews of Harriet Plummer Aquatic School and Sherman Swim School. I have checked the archives, but I am particularly keen on hearing the two programs compared and contrasted if anyone is familiar with both. The ''FAQs'' on the Harriet Plummer website sounded as though they employ a bit of a ''tough love'' approach, but I don't know if that is actually the case. My non-swimming yet water-loving son is almost 5 and can be tentative in new situations. So, I just want to be sure he is as comfortable as possible so that his associations with swimming are positive. Thanks.
harriet plummer and sherman swim are both in the east bay city of lafayette, but from my experience at both, differ dramatically in approach. i should mention that my parenting orientation is very pro-child, and i try very hard never to make my children suffer unnecessarily -- it bothers me to hear them cry.
with that in mind, your depiction of harrient plummer as the ''tough love'' approach is consistent with my experience. my oldest child went to one lesson there, actually one-half of a lesson there, before i pulled him out 7 years ago. i was not comfortable watching my child(ren) cry when being introduced to the water -- and was not comfortable with the philosphy of HP.
sherman, by contrast, is much softer and gentler. they try to work with children's innate water fears and support them. my children all went to sherman and while it may have taken a bit longer to learn to swim than at the HP sink or swim school, they never felt abandon or cried.
now many years later, they are little fish - loving water and having fun, safe and secure. i would not recommend the HP method unless 1) you have a strong constitution and do not have a problem with making your child cry (at least for the short term) or 2) you have a child who is VERY EAGER to put their face in the water and take off (in which case you may not need lessons!) bekki
Sept 2003
I'm looking for swimming lessons for a 6 year old boy who is particularly cautious around water. Are there any places that are better (or worse) about helping children feel comfortable and allowing them to set their own pace, but encouraging? Lucy
I heartily recommend Harriet Plummer Swim School in Lafayette. It's just as you describe-a backyard pool with about 3 teachers in the pool at one time. You sign up for a 4-day week (Mon- Thurs) of 15 minute private lessons (only your child with the teacher). The teachers are especially wonderful with fearful swimmers, using very reassuring, calm, measured tones and a variety of skill-building activities that are play-like. We love the place. They offer lessons year-round, and in the winter they tent the pool to keep the ambient air temperature warm (the pool is kept at 92 degrees or so-nice and warm). They're in the phone book! Christina
I have a great recommendation for swim lessons in the P.Hill area -- try Harriet Plummer's Swim School in Lafayette. I too had a child who was very cautious around water and one who was not. My older child (6) started swim lesons at Little Dippers (which is not a swim club but a swim school) and was doing beautifully -- loved the water, was doing well ... UNTIL we went through a month where she had a new teacher each week of the month. At about the same time, I started my 3 year old there, who was quite nervous about the water. From the start, she cried and got upset. I pulled them both and we went to a new place. I am happy to say that we are thrilled with the results. We now go to HARRIET PLUMMER SWIM SCHOOL in Lafayette and both of my girls swim across the pool and LOVE the water. My little one has even begged to continue thru the fall! They are a touch more expensive, but the instructors are loving, consistent and the staff has mostly been there for a long time. You will not regret it! Good luck -- Been there, done that!

Redwoods Road Trip 2014
[b]Redwoods Road Trip 2013[/b]
This a pay your own way event. This means even me the organizer pays my own way to attend. As noted in other events I have organized, this is where the insanity of what I do comes in. Don't ask I don't get it either. I recently made a website to help broadcast day drives and these road trips.
This is a road trip event for anyone and everyone. This is not a race or rally so if you are looking for a Gumball event this is not the event for you. The event does have fun back roads driving and some great stops. For references on past events look up Euro Cars Road Trip Yellowstone and California 500 Miglia.
[b]Register here: [url=http://raddrives.com/catalog/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=52]Redwoods Road Trip - April 26 ? 28[/url][/b]
Deadline to register is April 5th for decals to be mailed. Final registration is April 14th, decal pickup at event start.
[b]Event details and registration:[/b]
[B]Redwoods Road Trip April 26 - 28[/B]
The Redwoods Road Trip is a fun three-day event that takes us through the land of giants. The event starts in Novato and heads north up the Pacific Coast Highway, making stops along the way for pictures and to socialize. The key stop for the first day is the Point Arena Lighthouse Museum and lunch in Mendocino. Day two is all about seeing the giant redwoods along the Avenue of the Giants, Lady Bird Johnson Grove, and Big Tree Wayside. Day three the group drives home with one more stop to see the Redwoods and ending in Redding for participants to make their way home.
Unlike rallies and road course events, we encourage people to stay in a group and stop at the planned destinations, as this is a road trip not a rally. However, the stops and activities are suggestions, not mandates. Our format is for those individuals, couples or families, who want to have an adventure as well as make new friends with fellow enthusiasts. We mix the day up between driving sections, photo stops and sightseeing opportunities for everyone. This is not a race, so if you are looking for a competitive event this is not for you.
[b]Fees schedule[/b]

The Redwoods Road Trip is now over.
For those who missed the weekend of activities, you truly missed one great adventure. Below is the recap and some of the highlight images from the drive. To see all the images, please see the website link to them, as including all the images here would take up way too many threads.
[b]Redwoods Day 1:[/b]
The group met in Novato at 8:00am to do introductions as well as sign waivers and receive their map and dinning location packets. While everyone was being introduced, the topic that was on everyone's mind was the epic rainstorm we all survived the day before. Thankfully, Mother Nature decided that she wanted to keep things interesting and provided the Northern California coast a deluge so we could have a clear weekend.
The group started off 23 cars strong for the first days of activities. As with all these drives, it was an eclectic mix of cars from Opel, Jaguar, BMW, Audi, Porsche, Caterham, Ariel, Mini, Focus ST, GTR's and FRS duos. This is mix of cars is what makes the event fun.
The first day of the drive was a trip of the California coast, where we stopped for photos at an overlook, two lighthouses and lunch in Mendocino. The weather for the drive up was a mix of high wispy clouds and perfect driving temperature. Apparently the request for a great clear weekend reached the desk of Mother Nature, so there was no need for the rain ponchos.
Our first stop one was at Salty Point for a bio break and to take some group photos. When we first got there I was able to negotiate for everyone to get in for free, as we were not going to be there very long. As we were taking photos, the head ranger came down and said we had to pay now. Welcome to the CA state parks. As it was not worth the arguing factor, we were able to compromise with the ranger at a flat price for the 23 cars to save everyone money. Things like this, while frustrating, also make for great stories and are part of the adventure.
After Salty point we went off to Point Arena Light house to take photos. This time we were not able to work out a deal to drive up to the light house for photos, but it still was a great view of the CA coast and the light house.
Next stop was lunch in Mendocino. The restaurant we chose apparently forgot to tell the staff we were coming, which made for a bit of a scare. However, the staff stepped up to the challenge and we had a great lunch, even though it took a while.
After lunch we headed to the last light house before making the fun drive to Garberville for the overnight stop. This was also the last stop before Fort Bragg and a much needed fuel stop for some of the participants.
After the fuel stop, it was the 50-mile hoof to the hotel. This drive though was not without its fun factor. The section of HWY1 is known for its tight twists and turns which makes it a true driver's road. Many of the people had a blast carving the turns and were even chased by a few tag alongs. The group picked up two Lamborghini's and a Ferrari that were in the area to enjoy this last section of HWY 1 before getting on the 101 to Garberville.
Everyone made it to the hotel okay and it was then off to dinner at a great New Orleans Bistro. While most of the participants had a great dinner and turned in for the night around 9:30ish, some of the gang went off to the bar and shut the place down as we say. As you can tell, these drives are an adventure both on and off road. HAHA.
[b]Redwoods Day 2:[/b]
The following morning the ground was a bit damp from an overnight sprinkle. We picked up two extra two cars in the morning to make the full 25 car group. The two new members to the drive were a local Focus ST owner and another GTR who made the trek from Reno. The group left from the hotel promptly at 9:00am. By this time, the clouds had parted and there was a mix of sun here and there. The group drove to the Avenue of the Giants where we made several stops to see the amazing redwood forests. In addition to the nature walks, the group stopped at one of the drive through trees to allow participants to get their customary photo of driving through a living redwood.
After the sightseeing at the redwoods, the group headed to Eureka for lunch. Apparently, Sunday afternoons in down town Eureka are pretty calm until our our group rolled through with decals and loud exhausts. After lunch we picked up another local GTR who just happened to be in the area and saw the group. We seemed to be gaining cars as we went along, which was fine by us.
The group then headed up 101 to the Redwoods Visitor center so people could hike to the beach as well as get history or souvenirs of the area. This is more of an inside joke but to those who were on the drive, watch out for those sneaker waves, that are sneekyyyyyy…..
After our time at the beach, we were off to Lady Bird Grove to take another hike amongst the redwoods. This was the longest hike of the day and a chance for people to chat more while they stood amongst the giants.
The group called it a day and took off for the hotel to un-wind before heading to dinner at the Lost Coast Brewing Company. We were able to arrange carpools for people so those who wished to drink could enjoy the great beer selection on tap. This was also the last time the group would be at full strength.
[b]Redwoods Day 3:[/b]
The following morning the group headed for the last leg of the drive up HWY 36. On the way there, members peeled off as some of them had to decide to head home directly down 101. Those who were in for the full planned adventure made their way to Grizzly Creek for a quick bio break and to re-arrange the group into an order according to what speed people wanted to drive. This allowed everyone to go at their own pace, as well as enjoy the long EPIC drive ahead. Now when we say EPIC, we mean EPIC. This was truly a great driver's road with such a diversity of turns, straights and amazing vista overlooks. The road was very long, so by the end of it you felt as if you should have been awarded an achievement badge from the Forza racing game. As the group was split into different speeds, the drive leader of the spirited group did a great job of picking relay points for everyone to regroup.
After the last regroup and bio break, the group finished the last 50 miles to Red Bluff down HWY 36. The last half of HWY 36 should be called Roller Coaster Alley. Along with some great turns, the road goes up and down and if you are not carful you will be in the air when you need to be turning. This section of road was worth the price of admission in and of itself.
After lunch, the group split up so everyone could make their way home. This was the end of a very fun three days where people shared stories, made friends, and most importantly had an adventure. I hope after reading this you will join me and others on the future drives we have planned.
Our next drive is the Lassen Road Trip in August, followed by Mammoth and Devils Post pile in September and then the 500 Miglia in October. If you are interested see the thread posted for these drives or the website made for organizing these adventures.
See you on the road.

Hulu Bucks Up For 2013 With New Original Shows And Exclusive Content
This year, expect original content from high-profile stars such as Eva Longoria and SNL's Seth Meyers.
Hulu has just released a preview of its 2013 original and exclusive series lineup, which includes, among others, its first original animated series, "The Awesomes."
The streaming service's 2013 programming includes content from some high-profile creators and talent such as "Saturday Night Live" head writer Seth Meyers and actress Eva Longoria, and bolsters Hulu's continued, aggressive push (and increasing competition with Netflix) to become a destination for quality, exclusive content, even in the wake of CEO Jason Kilar's announcement last week that he would be leaving the company this quarter.

Solving simultaneous equations with inequalities
I am solving some simultaneous equations and getting four results because
the solution contains two square roots - produced because some of the

N.M./El Paso udpates
By Chris Cozzone
For his March 6 return in Espanola, N.M., former five-time world champ Johnny Tapia (56-5-2, 28 KOs) will face Jorge Reyes (21-27-3, 17 KOs), of Juarez. Tapia will be coming off a three-year layoff and an eight-month prison sentence for parole violation; Reyes, 0-9-1 in his last ten, will also be comebacking, with an 18-month layoff. Tapia has now been released and resting up this week. On Monday, he will begin training. Ten amateur bouts and five pro bouts are slated for the "Battle of Redemption" card.
A special six-round heavyweight bout between Maurice Harris (20-14-2, 10 KOs), of East Orange, N.J. and Billy Zimbrun (23-10-1, 13 KOs), of Ogden, Utah, has been added to the Jan. 29 ShoBox card at Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque. The added sixer brings the card's total to eight bouts, 46 rounds.
Holly Holm will headline the next card at Isleta, opponent TBA, on March 26. The Fresquez-promoted card also features Victoria Cisneros (3-8-2) vs. Terri Blair (11-14-3, 6 KOs) as a co-main.
Contractual disputes have derailed border lightweight Javier "Zorro" Castro (22-2, 18 KOs). Castro was lined up to fight Ameth Diaz (26-9, 19 KOs) in Panama next weekend but has been replaced with former champ Cesar "Cobrita" Soto (60-18-3, 41 KOs) until the legal battle is resolved.

Fresh off her fifth Wimbledon title, Serena Williams has rekindled her position as one of the most dominant players in women's tennis.
Yet one of her biggest fans thought she'd do it sooner.
"I honestly thought she would win (Wimbledon) last year in her first tournament back after injuries. I've always had that confidence in Serena," Andy Roddick said jokingly in a teleconference Tuesday.
Roddick, who was ousted by David Ferrer in the third round of Wimbledon, praised Serena for her rejuvenated finish after an odyssey of injuries poisoned her career, giving her the nickname "master of comebacks."
A year ago around this time, Williams was ranked No. 169. Now, she's one of the best in the world again.
"You know what, I don't know if I was surprised by it," Roddick said of Williams' Wimbledon win. "She's proven herself to be a great champion. She's almost become a master of comebacks. I remember when it was like three or four years ago she was down below the top 100 in the world, and people were wondering then if that was it, and she came back and dominated. ...I was happy to see her back where she belongs in the winner's circle there."
Roddick, who has teamed up with Serena multiple times for mixed doubles, wasn't sure if the tandem would reunite for the Olympic Games in London.
"I don't know, you're asking the wrong person," Roddick said.
Roddick was also quick to commend Venus Williams, who teamed up with Serena to capture a fifth doubles Wimbledon title.
Williams has had an ongoing battle with an auto-immune disorder and has had to fight the odds to stay on the tennis court.
"What she's been going through is not easy," Roddick said. "I think the toughest part of it for her is not knowing on a day-to-day basis. If you have a sprained ankle, you have a rough estimate of time as to how long it's going to take before you're OK. I don't think it's that simple with what she's dealing with.
"For her to have a highlight (Wimbledon doubles title) in the middle of this rough patch is probably real big for her. Whenever (Venus and Serena) decide to play, I think they're automatically the best team in the world.

You sent them off to school in their shiny new shoes, Charlie and Lola backpack strapped on, Peppa Pig lunchbox swinging… but now it's tears before bedtime.
When your littlest ones are finding those first days of school too much to bear, what can you do to help them through?
The truth is, regardless of whether they've been in nursery or rubbing along with Mum or Dad at home, the transition can be huge.
From separation anxiety to fears about going to the toilet or whether they will find new friends, the worries can crowd in and seem overwhelming. Just think: you feel like crying, so what might be going through their little heads?
As the DirectGov help site notes: "[Your child] might find their initial weeks a period of change and stress. They may be more tired than usual and need time to relax. You may find that rather than becoming more 'grown up', they may regress or become more difficult or defiant, in response to the stress of a new routine.
"Your child may also have concerns about making friends or be more withdrawn than usual."
Antonia Chitty, author of What To Do When Your Child Hates School, adds that what may seem trivial to adults can seem devastating to a young child – so try to find out the exact cause of their distress.
Says Chitty: "A friend's son didn't want to go to school, and it turned out to be because he couldn't carry his lunchbox with him as he had at nursery because he had school lunches."
The key to uncovering the real cause is not to pile on the pressure – don't interrogate, but do coax. Here are some more tips on how to deal with your little one's anxieties:
Keep your questions specific
Asking a tired and emotional four-year-old what they did at school today, or why they don't want to go, is unlikely to yield a sensible answer. Experts advise asking specific questions such as "Who did you play with in the playground?" or "What did you have for lunch?" until you can get a sense of what is truly bothering them. Children may make general, upsetting statements such as: "Nobody likes me" which are usually exaggerations, but do take time to listen and consider talking to their teacher, who will be able to help.
Be positive – but realistic
Be perky about the joys of school, focusing on things like the whizz-bang climbing frames in the playground or the fun new stuff they will learn. But don't oversell it – waxing lyrical about how utterly fantastic school is will do no good when reality comes up short.
Help them to see the teacher as a friend
Of course you want your little one to talk to you if he or she is feeling sad or worried. But do also emphasise that the teacher is there to be their friend and to help them, and that they should always talk to him or her if they have any problems.
Reassure them that they will feel tired
Tiredness is bound to hit little ones after a full day at school – and this may explain tearfulness later in the day. Reassure them that lots of children find it very busy and tiring and get upset. Make sure they stick to their home routines – bedtime, bathtime – as much as possible to ensure plenty of rest and a sense of security.
Read books about school
The new regime of school can be intimidating and confusing: things like the school bell, sticking your hand up to speak and so on. It may help, if you have not done so already, to introduce some books about school. Try Starting School by Allan Ahlberg, I Am Absolutely Too Small for School by Lauren Child or Topsy and Tim Start School by Jean Adamson.
Teach good toilet habits
It is very common for children to wet themselves at school, especially in the early weeks and months. Help to steer them gently through by reminding your child they are allowed to ask to go to the toilet whenever they feel they need to. If it is a recurrent problem, ask the teacher to quietly remind your child to go. Make sure your child knows how to pull up their pants and wipe themselves properly, too.
Deal with separation anxiety
Another utterly normal rite of passage for young kids – not to mention parents! Make sure your child knows that you will be thinking of them and that you have not abandoned them at the school gates. For instance, say: "Mummy and Daddy miss you so much when you are at school but we are thinking of you all day long, and wondering what you are learning and what you are playing at breaktime, and eating at lunch." That way they will have little reminders throughout the day that they are in your minds. Reassure them, too, that you are looking forward to coming back to collect them at the end of the day.
…But don't give in
The hardest thing is not to give in when your child is in floods of tears and insisting they can't bear to go to school. But educational psychologist Dr Valerie Muter insists that you should never keep them at home if you suspect they are anxious rather than ill: "It's very important to get across the message that they have to go every day." If they are very upset, discuss strategies with their teacher. But remember that good reception teachers are very experienced at dealing with distraught children. You will most likely find that they calm down far quicker than you expect once you have gone. If you are worried, ask if you can phone the school office later to check your child is OK. And make sure you aren't late to pick them up.
Help them to perfect their playground skills
Making friends is a tricky art and many children find the rough and tumble of the playground a lot to deal with. Remember that schools try to help children to make friends, so encourage your child to ask an adult in the playground if they are nervous of joining in a game or approaching a group of children. If the problem is some playground dispute or falling-out, unless it can be regarded as bullying, resist the urge to blunder in. It's far better to teach your child the skills of negotiation – letting each child give their point of view and then asking what they think should happen.
Don't pass on your emotions
Even if you are a blubbing mess the minute you round the corner after dropping them off, don't – whatever you do – let them see it. They will associate your upset with anxiety and fear about school. Put on a big smile and be reassuring. You can weep into your cornflakes once you're safely back at home or in the office.
Ask if they can take a familiar object with them
Sometimes a so-called "transitional object" can help little ones to feel safe and comforted in the first few days or weeks. Ask your teacher if your child can take a toy to play with at breaktime, or have a family photo, cuddly animal or other familiar item with them to look at when they feel homesick. These 'props' can be slowly phased out when they are no longer necessary.
Talk it up
Talk up any positives you can glean from their days at school – display artwork on your walls with pride, invite a new friend round for a short play date or ask them to show you and the rest of the family their newfound skills at skipping, reading or adding up.
Share your own experiences
Chat about your own experiences of school – the things you loved, the games you played, the things that worried you. Perhaps show them pictures of you during your schooldays to help make it real and to show them that you understand exactly what they are going through.

THEY had just cut the grass at Sorrento Football Club, but that's not why people fought back tears.
Before he played in the AFL, John McCarthy played his football here, from under-nines to under-18s.
So that's where McCarthy's uncle, John Olle, came to express the entire family's ''humility and genuine gratitude'' for the sympathy they have received since McCarthy died in Las Vegas this week.
''A life does not attract a response of such magnitude unless it's truly worthy, and the life of Johnny was,'' Mr Olle said. ''He was a unique, a precious and loved young man.''
Sorrento will play for its third successive premiership this Saturday, against Dromana in Frankston.
But Sharks' coach Troy Schwarze said the team had barely talked about the game in the wake of McCarthy's death. ''There's bigger things in life,'' he said. ''We understand that there is a family going through a really tough time, so we'll be there for them, and hopefully, maybe at the end of the week put a smile on some people's faces.''
One local watching training said McCarthy's death had been felt throughout the community, ''from Portsea to Rosebud''.
Then as the sun went down, the score board lit up, and said all that could be said - Vale Johnny McCarthy.

This is Captain America calling ...
Research ››› ››› ERIC ALTERMAN
See this Vanity Fair piece? "With confidential documents, corroborated by outraged former and current U.S. officials, David Rose reveals how President Bush, Condoleezza Rice, and Deputy National-Security Adviser Elliott Abrams backed an armed force under Fatah strongman Muhammad Dahlan, touching off a bloody civil war in Gaza and leaving Hamas stronger than ever."
Pundits like to talk about the Bush push for "democracy" in the Middle East, but it has always been nonsense, as I argued here back in January 2005. Now personally I'm glad it's nonsense. These Arabs really hate our guts; make those countries democratic and they'd want to kill more of us. I've never thought democracy made much sense absent a middle class and it certainly makes no sense in feudal societies overlaid by centuries of totalitarian dictatorship. But the hypocrisy of both the Bush administration and its publicists in the press is truly breathtaking.
Speaking of hypocrisy: Here's a nice piece on "[h]ow self-censorship works in the empire of Rupert Murdoch." Congrats to everybody who thought it such a great idea to give this man control of one of our last great newspapers.
I was quoted in T.A. Frank's excellent piece, titled "Why Is Bob Herbert Boring?" and I thought the piece illuminating both in the questions it asked and the conclusions it reached, here.
Today's Herbert column is a perfect example of why. Some snippets:
On Thursday, the Joint Economic Committee, chaired by Senator Chuck Schumer, conducted a public examination of the costs of the war. The witnesses included the Nobel Prize-winning economist, Joseph Stiglitz (who believes the overall costs of the war -- not just the cost to taxpayers -- will reach $3 trillion), and Robert Hormats, vice chairman of Goldman Sachs International.
Both men talked about large opportunities lost because of the money poured into the war. "For a fraction of the cost of this war," said Mr. Stiglitz, "we could have put Social Security on a sound footing for the next half-century or more."
Mr. Hormats mentioned Social Security and Medicare, saying that both could have been put "on a more sustainable basis." And he cited the committee's own calculations from last fall that showed that the money spent on the war each day is enough to enroll an additional 58,000 children in Head Start for a year, or make a year of college affordable for 160,000 low-income students through Pell Grants, or pay the annual salaries of nearly 11,000 additional border patrol agents or 14,000 more police officers.
What we're getting instead is the stuff of nightmares. Mr. Stiglitz, a professor at Columbia, has been working with a colleague at Harvard, Linda Bilmes, to document, among other things, some of the less obvious costs of the war. These include the obligation to provide health care and disability benefits for returning veterans. Those costs will be with us for decades.
Mr. Stiglitz noted that nearly 40 percent of the 700,000 troops from the first gulf war, which lasted just a month, have become eligible for disability benefits. The current war is approaching five years in duration.
"Imagine then," said Mr. Stiglitz, "what a war - that will almost surely involve more than 2 million troops and will almost surely last more than six or seven years - will cost. Already we are seeing large numbers of returning veterans showing up at V.A. hospitals for treatment, large numbers applying for disability and large numbers with severe psychological problems."
The Bush administration has tried its best to conceal the horrendous costs of the war. It has bypassed the normal budgetary process, financing the war almost entirely through "emergency" appropriations that get far less scrutiny.
Even the most basic wartime information is difficult to come by. Mr. Stiglitz, who has written a new book with Ms. Bilmes called "The Three Trillion Dollar War," said they had to go to veterans' groups, who in turn had to resort to the Freedom of Information Act, just to find out how many Americans had been injured in Iraq.
Mr. Stiglitz and Mr. Hormats both addressed the foolhardiness of waging war at the same time that the government is cutting taxes and sharply increasing non-war-related expenditures.
Mr. Hormats told the committee:
"Normally, when America goes to war, nonessential spending programs are reduced to make room in the budget for the higher costs of the war. Individual programs that benefit specific constituencies are sacrificed for the common good ... And taxes have never been cut during a major American war. For example, President Eisenhower adamantly resisted pressure from Senate Republicans for a tax cut during the Korean War."
Said Mr. Stiglitz: "Because the administration actually cut taxes as we went to war, when we were already running huge deficits, this war has, effectively, been entirely financed by deficits. The national debt has increased by some $2.5 trillion since the beginning of the war, and of this, almost $1 trillion is due directly to the war itself ... By 2017, we estimate that the national debt will have increased, just because of the war, by some $2 trillion."
It's a shame that people probably won't pay attention to this one either ...
I saw Part II of HBO's John Adams last night. It's magnificent in its ability to combine honest history with witty writing and great acting. In his review, however, John Leonard refers, here, to "the equally estimable Abigail Adams and Laura Linney." Perhaps he thought it just a cute phrase, but dude, did you really write that? I bow to no one in my lust for Ms. Linney, but to compare her to a figure of greatness of the stature of Abigail Adams is to equate a talent for acting with one for vision, courage, literary eloquence and human bravery. It's a symbol of our cultural craziness that a smart guy like Leonard would write such a thing, even as a throwaway. (Had he tried it with God's most perfect creation, Ms. Natalie Portman, I might not have been so upset.)
Here's Natalie, by the way: "I would love to see a government that made demands on Israel and the Palestinians to reach an agreement. Ultimately, it has to come from the people themselves, though. No one is going to like an externally imposed solution."
John Solomon Watch: Widely noted in the blogosphere were new style guidelines proposed by Washington Times editor John Solomon. They included no longer referring to illegal immigrants as illegal aliens, and not putting quotes around the term gay marriage. Commendable first steps away from making the newspaper seem like a print version of The O'Reilly Factor, but with every wildly unfounded story they continue to print, the paper takes two steps back. We see, here, that the Times reported Sen. Barack Obama received a discount on his house, by way of Chicago businessman Antoin Rezko. No other outlet has reported this discount, so this would be a pretty big scoop: except for the fact there is no evidence supplied by the Times about the discount, and nobody from the paper has yet explained how they know about this supposed shady dealing.
Also, the paper printed a story on the front page last week claiming that, when it comes to Obama, the military "fears an unknown quantity." The paper at least had the decency to offer some support for this claim -- but it came via a retired Air Force lieutenant general who doubles as a Fox News analyst, and two unnamed "officials" and "industry executives." Mr. Solomon may want to now turn his attention toward reporting and attribution guidelines, as well.
This story in the Chicago Tribune about the world of graft and kickbacks surrounding Iraq War profiteering didn't get nearly the attention it deserved; it's a stunning account of greed run wild, much to the detriment of taxpayers and the war effort. It should be read in tandem with Jeremy Scahill's recent reporting in The Nation about the various plans by presidential candidates to curb the influence of private companies in war zones.
From Media Matters: "On Meet the Press, host Tim Russert ignored Republican strategist Mike Murphy's reference to Sen. John McCain's acceptance of an endorsement by evangelist John Hagee. Russert did not identify Hagee by name or mention Hagee's statements denouncing or disparaging homosexuality, Islam, Catholics, and women. By contrast, during the last Democratic debate, Russert persisted with questions to Sen. Barack Obama about Louis Farrakhan's support of Obama, despite Obama's repeated denunciations of Farrakhan's statements."
Is it simply that there was no easy "gotcha" with McCain, because he courted the endorsement, and stood out on stage with Hagee? It's impossible to know why Tim avoided this ripe line of questioning, and it's also impossible to know how he remains impervious to consistent, reasonable questioning of his reporting abilities.
President Bush has spent 452 days on vacation while in office; that amounts to roughly 17.4 percent of his presidency; or, an average of 63 days per year. I think, given the standard being set by our leader, it's time I talk to Eric about my vacation schedule...
Name: Beth Harrison
Hometown: Arlington, VA
What was Hillary thinking when she said that she took Barack Obama at his word when he says he's not a Muslim? (Answer: she wasn't.) What part of "membership in the United Church of Christ" does she not understand?
I think there's a further fortune to be made in books by self-hating women for self-hating women, and I missed it. Darn.
Tina Fey, the person, not the character, said that her character's line about voting for McCain was based on her own feelings: "Ms. Fey, who wrote that line, said it was semi-autobiographical, a way of "admitting I have a lot of liberal feelings, but I also live in New York, and I want to feel safe, and I secretly kind of want Giuliani."
I posted a question about this -- how, exactly Giuliani's Bush squared foreign policy was going to keep NY safe -- in the Q&A they were supposed to host on that article, but I never found it.
As for Lorne Michaels, I was curious and searched his donor history. He's maxed out to McCain, but was an even bigger donor to Chris Dodd. And Al Franken.

The best blender
Featured Review
Pros: Large volume, powerful, makes great purees and related preparation
Cons: Not good for very small volumes. Not ideal as a juicer
This blender is a fabulous machine. I makes the best smoothies, purees of all kinds, milkshakes, and smooth soups. It is powerful. Not as versatile as a food processor but for pureeing it beats my two cuisinarts hands down. As a juicer, for pulpy items such as carrots, one has to strain the puree through a juice bag, which is a bit of a pain, compared to a dedicated juicer, but it can work for that. For thick purees it can be a bit difficult to get every last bit of food out from under the blades and it works best for volumes of at least 1 cup (but up to about 2 quarts). The instruction book says to clean it by adding warm water and a few drops of liquid...(read more)

Kalkwijk is a canal near Hoogezand in the Dutch province of Groningen, Netherlands, where there are a number of small farms. This hamlet, originally called Oude Friesche Compagnie (Old Frisian Company), was founded in 1631 by some peat-farmers, mostly Mennonites, who had come from the environs of Heerenveen, Friesland. During the 17th century, about 1670, a number of Mennonites from the Palatinate, Germany, are said to have settled here, but concerning these "Palsters" no further information was available. The name Kalkwijk, according to an old tradition, is derived from the Swiss Mennonite Kalken family, which settled here in 1711. Others are of opinion that the name Kalkwijk originated from a lime (Dutch: kalk) found here, which was owned by a Mennonite family, later called Calkema. It was at Kalkwijk, too, that the Swiss emigrant Samuel Peter (Maihusen), the ancestor of the Dutch Mennonite Meihuizen family, settled in 1714.

Good Board 05/05/2013
This review is from: Intel BOXDH67GDB3 LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel NIC, Intel SATA RAID with SATA III. eSATA ports are available to the RAID BIOS. Easy BIOS upgrade. UEFI support. Plenty of USB ports, with USB 3.0 ports. Board seems reliable and gave me no trouble at all.
If you have a large video card (I have a GTX 560 Ti), you might not be able to remove or add RAM without taking out the card.
The red eSATA port (which functions as a regular internal SATA port) may also be partially blocked by the video card cooling box. A right angle SATA cable should deal with this problem.
There are only two fan headers for case fans, so you'll need to use PSU adapters for any additional fans.
Other Thoughts:
I didn't care much about the fact this was a Micro ATX board, just the feature set. I have no expansion cards other than the video card. I might consider adding an audio card later, and there's plenty of room for that. I can't fault them for the cramped space around the x16 slot on a board this small.
The board's build quality is excellent and all the cons were trivial to work around with spare hardware I have lying around. I mention them only for others' benefit in planning if they decide to go with this board.

Scathing U.N. report demands Vatican act against child sex abuse
By Stephanie Nebehay and Philip Pullella
GENEVA/VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - The United Nations on Wednesday accused the Vatican of systematically turning a blind eye to decades of sexual abuse of children by priests, and demanded it immediately turn over known or suspected offenders to civil justice.
In a scathingly blunt report, the U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child said Church officials had imposed a "code of silence" on clerics and moved abusers from parish to parish "in an attempt to cover up such crimes".
The Vatican called the report "distorted" and "unfair" and said the United Nations had ignored steps taken in the past decade to protect children.
The combative exchange sets the scene for the Vatican's biggest clash with the United Nations since 1994. Then, at a U.N. population conference in Cairo, the Vatican forced the international organization to back down on a proposal to approve abortion as a means of birth control.
The report also lays out a fresh challenge for a commission named by Pope Francis in December to advise him on a scandal that has plagued the Church for decades.
The committee said it was "gravely concerned that the Holy See has not acknowledged the extent of the crimes committed, has not taken the necessary measures to address cases of child sexual abuse and to protect children, and has adopted policies and practices which have led to the continuation of the abuse by and the impunity of the perpetrators".
