Respond or ask your question now!
CHICAGO , Nov. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- RSNA 2006 -- DALSA Corporation(TSX: DSA) today announced its latest life sciences imaging solution, the XR-4scientific and medical X-Ray camera intended for use in the biomedical,specimen, mammography and computed tomography (CT scanning) fields. The XR-4delivers superior image quality, offers a larger field of view, and high framerates for CT applications. Automatic exposure control in the XR-4 minimizespatient dosage, and delivers increased resolution and sensitivity.
In applications such as mammography, digital radiography is a vital toolin early cancer cell detection. Digital radiographic techniques go beyond justdetecting cancer cells. If a biopsy becomes necessary, digital radiography canhelp doctors to position biopsy needles properly through a process calledstereotactic imaging. The camera can assist with specimen radiography to testtissue specimens.
DALSA Life Sciences imaging technology is incorporated into medicalimaging equipment for clinical use and significantly increases the speed andaccuracy of stereotactic biopsy needle positioning, spot imaging, CT, andspecimen radiography. This in turn decreases patient risk, procedure accuracy,significantly reduces patient discomfort, and speeds the process.
The XR-4 digital X-Ray camera is an innovative 16 mega pixel CCD camerafor high resolution radiography applications. The camera has a very largefield of view (150 x 150 mm) and can operate at 10 frames per second (4 x 4binning mode) using proprietary DALSA technology.
The XR-4's high spatial resolution, low noise and high sensitivity providebetter images than competing technologies. XR-4 is a reliable camera withconsistent performance over time; its robustness and durability maximizesreturn on investment. With its standard Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) outputinterface and no requirement for a frame grabber, the XR-4 is easilyintegrated into radiography systems. The XR-4 comes in three different models;a 7.5 x 7.5 cm, 7.5 x 15 cm and a 15 x 15 cm field of view. The camera canalso be customized to meet specific customer requirements, with minimuminvestment.

A love of cars, people, life and laughter summed up 17-year-old Scott Santana's many passions. Now, his legacy is being propelled forward through the Live On, Drive On campaign begun by his parents in the wake of his fatal car accident.
Following his car crash on May 17, 2011, Scott's family carried out his wishes as a registered donor. Scott saved five lives through organ donation, gave sight to two people and helped improve the lives of countless others through tissue donation.
Three years to the day of his death, the Santana family will host the second annual Live On, Drive On! car show at Lakehills Church, 7000 Rossmore Drive in El Dorado Hills from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 17.
"In his memory we come together to share good times and raise money to support the Scott Santana Memorial Fund," said Scott's father, Rich Santana of Placerville. "One hundred percent of the proceeds go to support local high school scholarships and the Live On, Drive On! campaign designed to save and enhance even more lives through the Donate Life California Registry."
The Santanas note that this year they are awarding two scholarships titled, "The Scott Santana Play in the Rain Scholarship," which will go to deserving students who can make the most out of any situation and "play in the rain."
Last year the Santanas attended more than 15 car-related events with Scott's Live on, Drive On! message and registered many donors to encourage others to, as they put it, "be heroes like Scott."
At the first Live On, Drive On! car show 100 automobiles were featured, including a McLaren, Scott's own 1969 Triumph Trophy 250, muscle cars, hot rods, vintage dragsters and motorcycles. This year there will be live music, raffle prizes, vendors and an auction. The Santanas hope this year's car show will attract at least 130 cars — which would allow the foundation to give away more scholarships and expand the Donate Life California Registry campaign.
The event is free to spectators. To register cars or for more information visit scottsantana.org.

The metric system is a standardized system of measurement used by scientists throughout the world. It is also the measurement system used in everyday life in most countries. Although the metric system is the only measurement system ever acknowledged by Congress, the United States remains "out of step" with the rest of the world by clinging to the antiquated English system of measurements involving pounds, inches, and so on.
Metric units commonly used in biology include
meter (m) The basic unit of length
liter (L) The basic unit of volume
kilogram (kg) The basic unit of mass
degree Celsius (°C) The basic unit of temperature
Unlike the English system with which you are already familiar, the metric system is based on units of ten, thus simplifying interconversions (table B.1). This base-ten system is similar to our monetary system, in which 10 cents equals a dime, 10 dimes equals a dollar, and so on. Units of ten in the metric system are indicated by Latin and Greek prefixes placed before the base units:
Thus, we multiply by
0.01 to convert cg to g
0.1 to convert dm to m
1,000 to convert kg to g
0.000001 to convert µL to L
0.1 to convert mm to cm
For example, 620 g = 0.620 kg = 620,000 mg = 6,200 dg = 62,000 cg.
Units of Length
The meter (m) is the basic unit of length.
1 m = 39.4 inches (in.) = 1.1 yards (yd)
1 km = 1,000 m = 103 m = 0.62 miles
1 cm = 0.01 m = 10-2 m = 0.39 in. = 10 mm
1 nm = 10-9 m = 10-6 mm = 10 angstroms (Å)
470 m = 0.470 km
1 in. = 2.54 cm
1 ft = 30.5 cm
1 yd = 0.91 m
1 mi = 1.61 km
Units of area are squared (i.e., two-dimensional) units of length:
1 m2 = 1.20 yd2 = 1,550 in.2 = 1.550
1 cm2 = 100 mm2 = 0.16 in.2
1 hectare = 10,000 square meters (m2) = 2.47 acres
1 km2 = 0.39 mi2
The following comparisons will help you appreciate these conversions of length and area:
Height of the Washington Monument 169.1 m or 555 ft
Length of a housefly 0.5 cm or 0.2 in.
Distance kangaroos can hop in one leap ~7.6 m or ~25 ft
Diameter of a pore in a hens egg 17 µm or 0.0007 in.
Surface area of a flu virus 10-8 mm2 or 1.6
Skin area of average-sized woman 1.58 m2 or 17 ft2
U.S. paper currency 104 cm2 or 16.1 in.2
Measurements of area and volume can use the same units:
1 m3 = 35.3 ft3 = 1.31 yd3
1 cm3 = 0.000001 m3 = 0.061 in.3
The following comparisons will help you appreciate these conversions of volume:
Coke can 355 ml or 12.0 oz
Legal-sized filing cabinet 0.4 m3 or 14 ft3
Sugar cube 1 cm3 or 0.061 in.3
Units of Mass
The kilogram is the basic unit of mass.
1 g = mass of 1 cm3 of water at 4°C = 0.035 oz
1 kg = 1,000 g = 103 g = 2.2 lb
1 mg = 0.001 g = 10-3 g
The following comparisons will help you appreciate these conversions of mass:
Penicillin molecule 10-18 kg or 2
Giant amoeba 10-8 kg or 2´ 10-8 lb
Human 102 kg or 220 lb
Nickel 5 g or 0.176 oz
Remember that mass is not necessarily synonymous with weight. Mass measures an objects potential to interact with gravity, whereas weight is the force exerted by gravity on an object. Thus, a weightless object in outer space has the same mass as it has on earth.
Units of Volume
The liter (L) is the basic unit of volume. A typical thermos bottle holds about 1 liter; a standard flush toilet flushes about 20 liters of water. Units of volume are cubed (i.e., three-dimensional) units of length.
1 L = 1,000 cm3 = 1,000 mL = 0.001 m3
1 L = 2.1 pt = 1.06 qt = 0.26 gal = 1 dm3
1 mL = 0.035 fl oz
1 tsp = 5 mL
1 cup = 0.24 L
Units of Temperature
You are probably most familiar with temperature measured with the Fahrenheit scale, which is based on water freezing at 32°F and boiling at 212°F. Celsius temperatures are synonymous with Centigrade temperatures, and these scales measure temperature in the metric system. Celsius (°C) temperatures are easier to work with than Fahrenheit temperatures since the Celsius scale is based on water freezing at 0°C and boiling at 100°C. You can interconvert °F and °C with the following formula:
For example,
45°C (113°F) temperature at which any area of skin of an average person will feel pain
40°C (104°F) typical for a hot summer day
75°C (167°F) hot coffee
37°C (98.6°F) human body temperature
16°C (60.8°F) coldest body temperature a person has been known to have and survive
Celsius versus Centigrade
The Celsius temperature scale was developed in 1742 by Anders Celsius, a Swedish astronomer. Interestingly, Celsius originally set 0°C as the boiling point of water and 100°C as the freezing point of water. Soon thereafter, J. P. Christine revised the scale to its present formwith 0°C as the freezing point and 100°C as the boiling point of water. The Celsius scale is identical to the Centigrade scale.
The following comparisons will help you appreciate the conversions of Fahrenheit and Centigrade temperatures:
Water freezes 0°C 32°F
Butter melts 31°C 87°F
Water boils 100°C 212°F
Fireplace fire 827°C 1,520°F
Hints for Using the Metric System
1. Express measurements in units requiring only a few decimal places. For example, 0.3 m is more easily manipulated and understood than 300,000,000 nm.
2. When measuring water, the metric system offers an easy and common conversion from volume measured in liters to volume measured in cubic meters to mass measured in grams: 1 mL = 1 cm3 = 1 g.
3. Familiarize yourself with manipulations within the metric system. Work within one system, and do not convert back and forth between the metric and English systems.
4. The metric system uses symbols rather than abbreviations. Therefore, do not place a period after metric symbols (e.g., 1 g, not 1 g.). Use a period after a symbol only at the end of a sentence.
5. Do not mix units or symbols (e.g., 9.2 m, not 9 m, 200 mm).
6. Metric symbols are always singular (e.g., 10 km, not 10 kms).
7. Except for degree Celsius, always leave a space between a number and a metric symbol (e.g., 20 mm, not 20mm; 10°C, not 10°C).
8. Use a zero before a decimal point when the number is less than one (e.g., 0.42 m, not .42 m).

Taipei (AFP) Jan 13, 2013
Officials on a Taiwan-controlled island group near the Chinese mainland said Sunday they are considering importing water from China in yet another sign of warming relations.
The move would mark another significant step forward in the improvement of ties, since the fortified Kinmen island group was a flashpoint during the Cold War and was shelled from the mainland at one point.
Officials from Kinmen have discussed a proposal to use ships to transport water from Xiamen, a coastal city in China's southeastern Fujian province just miles away.
Water supplies, mostly from desalination, underground supplies and a tiny dam, are sufficient at the moment to meet the needs of some 100,000 civilians and of troops stationed there.
"But water supplies may fall short in the near future if more tourists, many of them from the mainland, visit Kinmen," Chen Chaur-jiung of the Kinmen county government told AFP.
Chinese tourists make hundreds of thousands of visits to Kinmen each year.
From a long-term point of view, the Kinmen government hopes to instal pipes linking the Chinese city and Kinmen, Chen said.
"The idea of buying water from the mainland was hard to imagine a few years ago," he said.
The Chinese army fired more than 470,000 shells on Kinmen and several other islets in a 44-day artillery bombardment beginning on August 23, 1958, killing a 618 servicemen and civilians and injuring more than 2,600.
As late as the 1970s China still bombarded the island, although by then the shells were stuffed with propaganda leaflets.
Tensions across the Taiwan Strait have eased since China-friendly President Ma Ying-jeou came to power in 2008, pledging to boost trade links and allow in more mainland tourists.
He was re-elected in January 2012 for a second and last four-year term.

DS2 - Broken World - Review @ Armchair General
Armchair General gave the Dungeon Siege 2 Deluxe Edition - which includes both the main game and the add-on - 80%. Here´s their verdict:
Overall, the experience played in Dungeon Siege 2: Deluxe Edition was not something unfamiliar. There is certainly a great deal of game time in the pack, which gives the gamer a good bang for the buck. The question is whether or not he or she wishes to play "yet another" action RPG. There just isn't anything fresh or exciting to be played in Dungeon Siege 2. While the storyline is good, the gameplay solid, and the graphics crisp and clean, all of the above are things that have already been seen in RPGs in the past. Dungeon Siege 2 is a good RPG, but not one that would be recommended for those who are searching for something new in their collection.

Most legumes like lime, and alsike clover is not an exception, but is far more acid-resistant than the red.
This is the long-stemmed, viny kind, and its name is alsike clover.
On the average upland prairie soil, alsike clover does not grow so vigorously as the medium red.
Timothy and red-top should be seeded with it, and in the spring red and alsike clover should be added.
Small, white clover has adaptation for soils very similar to that of alsike clover.
alsike clover along with timothy may also be sown with mammoth clover, since the two mature about the same time.
The prevalence of alsike clover in a farming region is indicative of lack of lime.
alsike clover growing alone could not be cured thus quickly.
If but two varieties are wanted in the mixture, ordinarily these two should be alsike clover and timothy.
When in full bloom, a field of alsike clover is a very beautiful sight.

IN 'tanking' news both stuckey and granger are back for the pistons/pacers showdown
Showdown really belongs in quotes, or italics in that sentence.
well i would have said 'show up' as the opposite but that sounds silly.
You know of all the teams stuck in the lottery with a chance at #1 (sorry new york) the one team that stern needs to be relevant again is the sixers - HUGE tv market :)
I think Stern is going to keep giving the Clippers the #1 pick until they get someone to turn that franchise around...or at least stay healthy for a season.
Thad is out, Speights is out. Jordan to start Jrue, Willie, Iguodala, Brand, and Dalembert. Sweet Lou is playing, but not starting.
I think Lou is being punished for his comments in the paper - he hurt eddies feelings
Probably. Did you read Willie's quotes today, basically saying he wants Jordan back next season?
Course he does - Joran and Willie go together like rubbing and racing
David Lee is out, Jonathan Bender in his place. Damn our luck.
Seriously, Iguodala has played A LOT of games in his careeer, he needs some time off, so does brand
Who do we root for, Indy or Detroit?
Who has the easier SOS the rest of the season?
Detroit to win. I don't think we can "catch" the Pacers
I'm going back and forth tonight. When Jrue is not in the game, I definitely will not be watching.
1/1 for Brand, let's see if he disappears again.
We should trade for Jonathan Bender and give him minutes. How is he starting, even with the injuries?
Have the Sixers taken anything but a long jumper yet?
JRUE 4 (foot on the line)
That's two for the kid! That one was wet, off the dribble too.
You know back in the day wet meant something very very different...i find it disturbing when it's applied to someones shooting
AI9 hit a three, too bad it was after the whistle
Damn, did you see EB have Jrue cross court there? He looked at him too.
So does the lineup with Willie at the two "work" because Willie's that much better than Lou on D?
Willie does try at least. Offense is where he plays a lazy game.
Another possible reason, Jrue gets to actually play the point a higher percentage of the time, instead of keeping the ball in Lou's hands.
My dead father is better at d than lou
I love Jrue's post defense. He uses his lower body so well to keep leverage and almost always forces a fadeaway jumper, then contests it. That was picture perfect on Gallinari.
Give him three!
Damnit. Look at that last angle again!
Nice passing on that possession.
Nice pass, Willie. Jesus, just catch and shoot you moron.
10 points for Brand.
The Knicks look like the team who is tanking..
They just suck
and have nothing tyo tank for
Nice pass Jrue. Does Speights look a little gimpy out there?
Either gimpy or fat. I vote for both.
Speights is back, huh? I thought I saw on Twitter that he was still out.
Nice hard foul by Speights. I guess that's a defensive positive.
EB was too much that quarter. Do we think EFJ can get Kapono out there?
26-15 after one, and the Sixers didn't look particularly good in building that 11-point lead. Jrue played all 12 minutes, I'm expecting an NYC run when we see the Lou/Willie back court.
You were right on target with the effect of the lineup change.
We need another guard who can defend. Or we need a coach who at least use Iguodala there for stretches.
Here come the Knickerbockers.
The mecca of shit defensive lineups!
Smith, Speights, Kapono, Willie, Lou
I don't know if he's trying or tanking. Either way, it's disturbing.
That has got to be the worst defensive lineup ever put out by the Sixers. Would be interesting to think about which is the worst offensive lineup.
If the running the PO the way Jordan likes it, they're all pretty shitty.
10-2 run for the Knicks to start the quarter. Jordan seems shocked that this unit can't defend, or maybe he doesn't care and he's just pissed that they've only scored 2 points.
Brand is going to score 40 in this game.
and allow 35.
Pinckney on Brand: "He's a little warm."
Meeks in the second quarter, huh? I fucking fell asleep again. Started riding my bike to work this week, just completely exhausted when I get home at night.
What a scoop by Jrue. Under control on that one, smooth.
You simply can't cover up for Kapono on the defensive end. There's no way to hide that garbage.
Good two man game between Jrue and EB, but EB couldn't finish.
Knicks asserting themselves.
Didn't you just have a feeling that Jrue was going to make something happen at the end there? I hate to knock AI9, but I don't have that feeling with him.
Jrue always looks under control in the open floor. Kid is collected out there.
Jrue + Brand = 27 points on 16 shots.
The rest of the team = 23 points on 27 shots.
Sixers up a deuce at the half.
Man, these refs have swallowed their whistles. Sixers need to realize it and play accordingly.
Why stop in the middle of the play? He did get hit though.
He was still pissed about the no-call the previous time down the floor. He's gotten hammered about 4 times already this half.
I like NY's tanking plan: just shoot nothing but 3s. It isn't pretty but it sure is effective
5 on Douglas, Jrue gets to play against Chris Duhon's corpse.
5 fouls on Douglas, that hurts them. Maybe Duhon can catch fire. Holiday rocks, btw.
Iguodala, 1 for his last 24 from three.
Nice play out of the timeout, btw.
Jrue just had to yell Willie's name with cross court pass in the air on the way to him. Fucking Willie. Wake up.
Jrue for three, great ball movement by Carney.
It turned out to be good. But initially Carney had him for the gimmie on the baseline immediately after the defense cleared high. I'm glad we converted b/c I thought we had relinquished our best look to convert when he didn't eventually find Jrue down there.
I see what you meant about Jrue's post defense Brian. He fouled Gallo there, but his base is so strong.
Gallo walked, and I still don't think it was a foul.
Jrue has zero assists. That's amazing to me.
Yeah, he's been aggressive in this game, but people have been screwing up his assists. He should have at least 3 or 4 to EB alone. Willie has had a few jumpers missed from him. I'm still surprised he has none.
After a nice drive, what does Iggy do? Step-back jumper. Christ.
I really can't figure out why we're seeing so much of this small lineup.
Eddie the Tank doing what he needs to do the only way he knows how to.
Well, at least it looks like we'll get the L.
Sixers up 1 after 3. Against any decent team, they'd be down by about 25 right now.
Iguodala should have to do 20 pushups for every shot he takes outside of the paint for the rest of this game. 4/15 now from the field.
I'm trying to stop laughing.....but...I couldn't agree more on the Iggy reference.
Clyde hit it on the head earlier tonight when he said, "That shot is too high, when it's that high you don't have control of it." The truth for sure.
"or if you want to talk about the NCAA tourney game you've decided to watch instead of the Sixers."
Lol....well damn, caught me red-handed.
So... i wanted to say that, i really would hate to be the player that got picked by this guy from Florida State, Dulkys.
"....and he got the ball stole by 'dookie'!" ....now that's effed up....
And tell me that isn't l'il JD....
Yeah, I made the wife take him out in his Sixers' t-shirt to rub it in the faces of all the Knick fan toddlers in the park.
LOL!!!!!!!!!! Well, they said bring your kids to the game....
I still can't tell what it says on it though?
Tough guys wear red.
Fitting. Considering how he's gazing at the offending l'il Knickerbocker.
Lou's instincts on the break are absolutely pitiful. Dribbled too deep, then passed it right to the knicks.
Did anyone just see the two-man defense Iguodala and Jrue played. That was absolutely beautiful.
Sixers are hitting their jumpers at an inopportune time, if you're looking for a loss.
Man, the Knicks are playing terrible. Outside of Jrue and EB on offense, who is playing well for the Sixers?
No one. Not a soul.
Btw, the reason the Knicks are even in this game right now is their offensive rebounding. I say go even smaller with the lineup.
Take Jrue out? I know you want to lose, but that would be tough to take the kid out.
Damn, we might have to. AI9 for a three-point play. I'm so conflicted watching Jrue's emotion when I want us to lose..
There's the assist. Number 1. shocking.
Smith is so god damned bad.
So no Brand = tanking strategy by Jordan?
He needs no Jrue or Iguodala either. Lou could be a problem too, he can get hot and carry them.
Two-point game. Sixers are doing a superb job of busting this zone.
Alright guys. They're within 2. Time to tuck your tails and run. Come on, you know how you do.
You know how this is going to end. Iguodala three at the buzzer, he hits, Sixers win. And then everyone hates him for actually making a buzzer-beater :)
Fuck, man. That's absolute torture, at least for me to hate my own guy on a last seconder. Don't say that.
Because really there will be people that will hate him for clanking it too. And he can certainly do that.
I think Jrue is the only reason we are in this game. He is all over this floor playing defense. Heard him on the radio earlier saying how much he likes playing defense. He is really having fun tonight!
Yes, Jordan needs to give him a rest this half. Help out his team.
They are not trying to tank the game full out. It's like the all-star game, get everyone in, and close with your horses.
AI9 can keep shooting threes if he wants.
I guess Jordan does not mind AI9 missing 3 point shots.
Bad shot by Jrue there. And a d-board by Kapono. What're the odds?
4:00 game now. All tied up.
Jrue leads the team in rebounding. He was also wide open for a three on that last possession when Iguodala forced the pass to Willie.
Kapono with a pathetic effort to give up the O Board. I'll take it.
Fuck you Kapono.
COme on.....Tankman! you're in there for a reason now....let's go JK! Tankman! Tankman!....well damn he made me eat it and drained one...shit
This Toney Douglas is pretty darn impressive. He's no Jrue, but still...
And I wished the team had taken him over Jrue too. I really did. I thought he could d up so well. And I liked his offensive repertoire, very unassuming.
Cause we all know I wasn't on the Jrue tip, but that doesn't mean you can't come around in due time. In due time, we'll see.
He's more like Lou with pesky D. He's a scorer first, which can be troublesome if he's not a superstar. Jrue has a way stronger body and physical tools to lock someone down, where he can be pesky ball pressure guy.
You're killing me on the Lou. But to me he's a defender first not a scorer. That's just icing to me - the scoring, and the variety of ways in which he does.
And you and I know Jrue's not stronger than him, at least at this point. No way.
Who shoots the tech? Kapono is 6/11 on the season.
Either Willie or Jrue if you go by percentages.
AI9, of course
Good call!
He hit it, though.
Can we get Francisco Elson to shoot it?
This Douglas kid is making everything.
Phantom foul on Jrue, but I'll take it.
Iggy was chewing out Jrue after that play.
Which one, the foul?
Yeah, he was really getting on him, I saw the replay, it was pretty iffy that it was a foul and Douglas was fading away.
Can Jrue chew out IA9 now for his bad turnover?
inside 60 secs.... a terrible turnover by Iggy and an airball 3. and people wonder why i dont like the guy
He should, but Jrue had one that was just as bad though. Wouldn't happen anyway.
Bad turnover by Jrue.
It amazes me that the Sixers don't have any sets to bust a zone at this point in the season. Absolutely amazes me. EFJ at his finest.
And he commits a heist, Douglas that is. come on Jrue you've got to be more aware. And you threw a turnover for a runout, it would have been better if you let the clock expire.
That should do it, folks.
Douglas jumped the shitty dribble handoff. Serves us right, too.
And he screws up Iggy's pass. Turnover again by Dala. That damn Douglas, I knew I liked him for a reason. Helping the modus operandi.
Well fuck we overestimated! Iggy shoots an airball three. Yes....
That was close.
HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE loss. Thanks for taking that three AI9.
We didn't hear 'clank'. We didn't hear 'boink'. We just heard nothing. Damn, Iguodala.
lol that dude is clutch!
Iguodala's threes are great for tanking, but we gotta get rid of him if he continues to do this shit. His shot selection has to be the worst in basketball right now.
I won't even comment on the getting rid of him. Cause I still hold true to the feelings I had before the deadline. He's just needs to move on, but moreso because of what he's making, and not so much on the player.
This economy is bad and adjustments have to be made. That is, if you're trying to exist. And they better be. Fuck them being another name like the Thunder or something.
I mean it's fucking terrible that he continues to fall in love with his jumper. I think the guy can be the best player on a championship team, but he has to put all of his tools together. He needs to be active cutting into the lane, and finding nice mid-range jumpers when he's not fading away. More than anything, he needs to take a page out of Brand's book and bull his way to the rim. He wouldn't even have to shoot a good percentage to make a killing from the line.
All so true. But like I was typing below, he just is on this other shit mentally. Because, I'm not being critical here and I'm no mind reader but, he just thinks in his mind on that court that he can do things that he in fact really doesn't do well at all.
I've never had that mental block when playing, which is why it frustrates me endlessly as far as the concept of team.
And I meant the concept that he disrupts within the team. Taking ill-advised shots and bad ones period.
wooooo! big loss baby.
You know, I hate to point out anything that contributes to a loss, for fear Jordan will read this and make an adjustment, but you're in a one possession game, basically for the final 6 minutes, and Jason Kapono is on the floor for that entire time. You get killed on the glass, and you play small for the final 18 minutes of the game. This guy is just a complete fucking idiot.
IA9's game has gone down hill greatly this year. He WAS an ELITE player last year. He now is a team leader in turnovers (or very close) and one of the worst 3 point shooters in the league. Wonder why????
To me, with a grain of salt of course - he really does believe he is more than what he really is as a multi-dimensional player. He changed because of the money I'd assume, like he wants to live up to it, in a recogintion type of way. How else to explain being responsible for your own play? Because as proven by him freelancing out of a timeout earlier this year, he has this other-level mindset.
Well done, got the loss.
Wes Johnson looking good early against Vermont. A sound looking jump-shot from everywhere and a monster block in the first nine minutes.
Swing game.
Well said...many more to go guys. Just keep truckin'.
If we can get one of the WTF guys or Wes Johnson, I will be happy.
If we get Wes Johnson, Iggy or Thad need to go. Too many SFs. I'd much rather have one of the WTF guys though.
If you were an NBA GM and you had to choose one player - Thad Young or Danilo Gallinari - who would you take?
That question would have seemed laughable at the beginning of the season...
I'm not laughing.
If Douglas is the real deal, this could be the Knicks next season:
I read how EJ said he wants Iguodala to try and score more. And Iguodalal say how he wants to get the chance to be a high volume scorer.
...and we want to win the lottery.
IMO everyone is getting what they want.
Also, this team can't play against a zone. Not at all. That is why they lost the all those Knicks games. That and TD.
Yup, the NY Knicks zone was more than EFJ and the team could ever figure out. Awesome.
SAC and WASH both choked away wins late...fuck
Your key player suffering a concussion can contribute to a loss pretty easily

St. Laurence coach Harold Blackmon has been as frustrated as anyone regarding the Vikings' play this season.
There have been times when St. Laurence has lived up to its Top 10 preseason ranking, most notably during a 31-21 win over Benet and 45-42 victory against St. Rita.
On other occasions, though, St. Laurence (6-3) simply hasn't looked the part of an elite team. Cases in point, a 21-12 loss to Marmion and 16-9 defeat to St. Ignatius.
"This team has been an enigma," Blackmon said. "We've played big in big games, but in lesser games we tend not to show up. It's been very frustrating."
Blackmon made it clear if the Vikings don't show up...

Younger. Slimmer. More consistent.
Each of those terms could separately be used to describe the philosophy behind the Detroit Lions' busy start to their first week of the offseason. Starters Titus Young, Stephen Peterman and Kyle Vanden Bosch were all released quickly, showing the Lions are serious about creating a new vision.
Considering the recent production issues each of these players had, these moves were not surprising. Young, as expected, wore out his welcome in Detroit after his highly publicized season of insubordination. There was no trade value present, given the fact teams wouldn't be willing to give so much as a low round draft pick for a player with a perpetual bad attitude.
Peterman (31) and Vanden Bosch (34), despite their steady appearances, were each wildly overrated in 2012, and now neither can say they have time on their side. Right guard could stand a massive upgrade from Peterman, who has been prone to penalties and inconsistent play. Vanden Bosch, despite a contract which pays him nearly $4 million dollars, only contributed 3.5 sacks, which was a major step down from his 2011 number (8). For a veteran and a 13-game starter, that steady drop production was unacceptable. Each was due bonuses in the new year, perhaps making this decision easier.
So, both will now hit the road and eventually be replaced. As a result, the Lions will shave nearly $8.5 million dollars off their 2013 salary, and they can make way for some players who might provide better production for the money invested in them. Given all the trouble of last season, Martin Mayhew had to start making moves in a hurry. If he didn't, he ran the risk of furthering complacent attitudes in the organization.
Who's next? That's anyone's guess. It's been speculated that Dominic Raiola could be going. The Lions are in a saving mood, and he'd clear another $4 million from the books, so stay tuned for potential news in the coming days. Also watch safety Louis Delmas, who is a free agent and might not be returning.
The Lions have some holes to fill, but with these initial moves, they'll likely become a better team as a whole. Think of Monday and Tuesday as organizational streamlining day. First, the Lions cut the cocky young hotshot with potential due to his definitive attitude problems. Then, they let go a couple of steady veterans, each of whom was overpaid in their current roles. These might be sad moves if they happened around your water cooler, but they're necessary moves for the health and betterment of a football team.
With three cuts, a busy offseason full of roster changes is now officially underway. Surprisingly, it appears like drastic changes are in order and no one is safe.
It's about time.

Not sticking to the first blog I ever started, it's the only blog-moment I regret.
Spending way too much time using Blogger.com as my platform before switching to WordPress. It's a pain to learn at first, but worth it ladies.
Not watermarking my images. I had an image pinned on pinterest and consultants starting using it as their own…and linking it to their business sites. I still get very frustrated thinking about it, but lesson learned.
I think the biggest mistake I've made is completely shutting down some of my social media (mostly Facebook) and newsletter when I "quit" blogging. I had over 200 subscribers and over 4000 Facebook followers. At that time, my family was going through a lot of hardship and I just felt like I couldn't continue blogging. Well, about 3 months in, I started missing my blog & followers, and decided to start up again. The hard part? I had to regain my FB followers (which I haven't even reached 500 yet) and my newsletter subscribers (haven't hit 70). It killed my readership, but luckily, I am working my way up again.... slowly.
We've all done that at some degree or another. It's so important to just keep going even if things look bleak.
Great reminder!
Oh wow, I never even thought about getting hacked! I will be backing up my stuff too. Good advice!
LOL! Totally agree with this! I get as much traffic posting once or twice a week than I did when I posted daily....and I don't get burnt out.
My biggest mistake is not having good quality pictures. I am a visual person, so I need to try harder on creating more interesting photos for the blog.

Many insureds don't take advantage of their Loss of Use coverage on their property insurance policies after suffering a big loss or after being subject to mandatory evacuations. When insureds suffer significant property losses or when damages are so catastrophic that property becomes uninhabitable, it becomes necessary to vacate homes and find temporary housing. Some people stay in hotels, some live with relatives or friends, some leave the state, or some even live in RVs or motor homes. This is an inconvenience that insureds shouldn't have to suffer. In these situations, it's best to take advantage of the Loss of Use (or Additional Living Expense) coverage and stay in hotels. The Loss of Use coverage pays for hotels or comparable properties for up to one year. An insurance policy is a contract of indemnity; this means that insurers are obligated to provide the same or better quality of housing and lifestyle that insureds had prior to suffering losses. They should not have to live with friends, family, or deal with any condition that is inferior to pre-loss conditions. Insureds are entitled to comparable living conditions because it's covered under their policies.
This coverage also applies to commercial, income, or rental properties that become unusable due to a loss or mandatory evacuation. In commercial and income properties, this coverage is known as Loss of Rents or Loss of Business Income and works in the same way as a homeowner's Loss of Use coverage, encompassing any lost rents or business income as a direct or indirect result of the loss sustained.
Public adjusters are knowledgeable about various aspects of insurance policies such as Loss of Use provisions. Public adjusters can help insureds maximize their compensation because of their thorough knowledge of policy coverages, documentation procedures, as well as the claim process. They ensure that insurance carriers fully meet their obligations. Insurance companies are not going to make insureds aware of their entitlements based on coverages. The insurance company adjuster's goal is to minimize the carrier's loss and pay out the least amount possible while keeping insureds satisfied. When people are overwhelmed with losses or intimidated by insurance companies, they accept lower settlements because they just want to get through the ordeal and return to their homes. This is normal and understandable reaction, and that's why the need for public adjusters exists. An experienced insurance claims expert like Phoenix Public Adjusting represents insureds and make sure the claim process is smooth and stress-free. The firm also works to maximize the settlement insureds are entitled to while protecting their interests.

The Manitoba Liquor Control Commission caved under pressure from the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association and will no longer offer wines with Stalin's mug on the label. Apparently, for Ukrainians in Manitoba, the image of Stalin on a bench with Churchill and Roosevelt was enough to kill their buzz.
The civil liberties association, however, must have been drunk when they figured that pressuring a government agency to put the kibosh on this wine was consistent with their mandate of upholding things like, oh, freedom of speech, say. Or expression. I suppose this just means that we have a new liberty--freedom from looking at a Communist dictator.

Esther Loo
Marketing manager
Esther Loo's job security is part of a legacy. Family-run Tai Sun Food Industries has made snacks such as roasted nuts, dried fruit and chips since 1966.
Beginner's Guide
Having worked for other firms for seven years prior, Loo was the first of her cousins to join the family business after realising that it's more meaningful to work for people you know.
Making the Mark
Last year, Loo led the company through its first brand overhaul since the 1960s. The year-long exercise revealed that although consumers loved the Tai Sun taste, the brand wasn't well-known to the younger set. Esther and her team redesigned the brand identity and created new brands and products that would appeal to a younger, discerning consumer.
Business Savvy
Driven by legacy, Loo says: "That gives my work meaning and forces me to think for the long-term. This is part of the legacy that was passed on to me to pass on one day to the next generation." Having brought a new way of communication to the family business, she points out: "We're now sharing the story of Tai Sun through the media and social media platforms."

Novak Havoc Pro SC Brushless ESC/Ballistic 550 Motor Combo w/X-Drive (4.5T)
To power the already popular Ballistic 550 Brushless Motors, Novak is releasing the all new Havoc Pro SC Brushless ESC (#1745). It's the first speed control specifically designed to meet the rigors of short course racing. In fact, it includes everything any short course enthusiast could ever want in a speed control: It boasts electronic timing, on-board programming with 14 adjustable parameters, a brand new braking system, and it comes factory wired to the most powerful short course motor available. Stop your search here; Novak has the short course system for you!
The versatile speed control is also compatible with 540 and 550-sized brushless motors to easily power 2WD and 4WD short course trucks. On top of that, Novak is releasing a Havoc Pro SC/Ballistic 550 Short Course System – 4.5T (#3115) that is compatible with most 4WD short course trucks, including OFNA's® Hyper 10 SC Pro 4x4 Kit™ and OFNA's® Jammin' SCRT 10 4X4 Kit™, and a system specifically designed for the Traxxas® customer. The Havoc Pro SC/Ballistic 550 Short Course System – 4.5T TRA (#3116) includes a custom install plate and a high-current handling Traxxas®-compatible battery connector to fit easily into Traxxas'® Slash 4X4 4WD Short Course Trucks™ without soldering. Both 4.5-turn short course systems also include a free rugged 5mm pinion gear to promote plug 'n' play action.
- What is Novak's X-Drive? This new update significantly improves the throttle feel and response. It also reduces the ESC's operating temperatures for more efficient operation. Team drivers, test drivers, and customers who have run the Havoc Pro SC with X-Drive in side-by-side comparisons to their original ESC have all noticed an incredibly smooth feel, improved drivability, lower temperatures, and overall higher performance resulting in faster lap times and longer run times.
- How Does Novak's X-Drive Work? Simple. The switching speeds of the ESC's transistors have been drastically increased. Speeds of this nature have not been considered until now. Novak engineers have developed this exclusive firmware and hardware update that permit the Havoc Pro SC to have the absolute best response times and switching speeds.
SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR SHORT COURSE: Novak has piled on numerous new features to completely reinvent the Havoc Pro SC. From its smaller case and new cross-cut heat sink to its completely redesigned software, you won't even recognize it! Among the Havoc Pro SC's many new features is its Dynamic Timing Advance™. This electronic motor-timing feature has eight adjustable timing settings and increases the motor RPM dynamically throughout the throttle band. The additional RPM, in turn, results in higher speeds and improved speed control performance. Moreover, Novak added a timing indicator LED, which will illuminate white whenever timing is activated. This feature will help aid club racing events that run timing and non-timing events.
To combat overheating while timing advance is activated, Novak has upgraded its Thermal Overload Protection™ feature. If the ESC starts to overheat, the speed control will turn off the timing advance. If the ESC's temperature continues to rise, a second thermal-protection feature will engage. This feature drops the speed control's power to 25 percent, so drivers can safely maneuver their vehicle off of the track. This refined protection feature is exclusive to Novak's newest sensored speed controls, like the Havoc Pro SC. On top of that, Novak is introducing a new temperature indicator that alerts racers of their ESC's temperature after each run. This indicator is so accurate that many racers use it in place of a temperature gun. A quick tap on the One Touch™ button at the end of a run will display the speed control's temperature via a blinking LED.
Another feature that originated with Novak's design team is the patent-pending NovaBrakes™. This revolutionary braking system provides instantaneous braking under any timing condition. Additionally, the brake response is incredibly smooth and immediate at any speed or throttle position, ridding the ESC of brake delay. In short, this new braking system has completely transformed the feel, response and use of traditional brakes. Combined with the NovaBrakes, Novak has refined the Havoc Pro SC's brake and drive frequency settings, and added a brake end point adjustment to provide drivers with unparalleled brake and throttle tuning options. The brake and drive frequency settings allow users to experiment with a softer or heartier brake and throttle input. Additionally, Novak has equipped the Havoc Pro SC with a Hall Sensor Test™. When activated, this test quickly verifies if the sensor harness and sensor in the motor are functioning properly without any risk to the ESC or motor. This Hall Sensor Test is an invaluable tool when troubleshooting at the race track.
IT'S 550 OR NOTHING: Novak's new 550-sized motors are a powerful complement to the sophisticated Havoc Pro SC. The Ballistic 550s are so dominant because of their extra long stator and rotor magnet. In fact, the stator and rotor magnet are twice the length of 540-sized motors, giving them twice the torque of an equivalent 540 motor. Additionally, these larger-sized motors run cooler and more efficiently than their 540 counterparts. And like the Ballistic name implies, these motors are completely rebuildable and feature interchangeable wound stator construction.
- Updated with Novak X-Drive™ for enhanced throttle response, ultra-smooth power delivery, higher top speeds, and cooler operating temperatures.
- Multiple adjustable parameters via on-board programming: Minimum Brake, Drag Brake, Minimum Drive, Dynamic Timing Advance™, Timing Set Point, Dead Band, Throttle Curve, Brake Curve, Brake Frequency, Brake End Point, Drive Frequency, Reverse, Motor Rotation, Voltage Cut-Off
- Sensor-based for excellent torque and low-speed driveability
- The Havoc Pro SC System – 4.5T (#3115) includes a free 5mm Mod 1 Hardened Steel Pinion Gear, and the Havoc Pro SC System – 4.5T TRA (#3116) includes a free 5mm 32-Pitch Steel Pinion Gear
- User friendly One-Touch programming interface with five colored status LEDs to help personalize the speed control's settings
- Compatible with the entire 540 and 550-sized Novak brushless motor lines
- Highly water-resistant case
- Cross-cut ESC heat sink for reduced weight and efficient cooling

Once you get it its SICK!!! 1/4 throttle is more than full throttle with the traxxas vxl system. Night and day difference.
Also look into a 50/100c 5000+ battery to power this thing. It sucks some power. My turnigy batts (5000 40/50c 2s) ran 18min on tight sc track before hitting lv cut off.(2.74v?just the batt I guess?)
Thats with 12/54 gearing. Temp after 20 min was 155* motor and 120* sc.
batt 100* 82* amb VERY HAPPY!)
I had the earlier version of this combo and updated it to this one. After carefully soldering the wires to motor tabs and tested the system everything looked good with the esc-leds.
After calibrating the throtle range it was time to test the motor. Nothing happened and the motor was turning only after givin a small roation to the shaft first by finger.
After installing the sparesensor the system started to work. On my first time at the track the motor did always power down in some situations at about five minutes run.
Today we are going to inspect is the fault in motor of esc.
I give only one star because the QC don´t seem to be on a level it should with this range of combos.)

Global Ocean Race - Financial Crisis leave the Southern Ocean
by Oliver Dewar on 26 Feb 2012
A spot of sightseeing for Marco Nannini in Le Maire Strait - Global Ocean Race 2011-12 Financial Crisis
Global Ocean Race 2011-12 (GOR) fleet are on the 27th day at sea on the third leg of racing from Wellington to Punta del Este.
The trio of boats still racing are split between the South Atlantic and the Southern Ocean. At midday GMT on Saturday, fleet leaders Conrad Colman and Adrian Kuttel are 119 miles off the coast of Patagonia with Cessna Citation making good pace towards the finish having broken through light headwinds. Holding second place, Marco Nannini and Hugo Ramon cut the corner with Financial Crisis emerging from Le Maire Strait at 23:00 GMT on Friday, leaving the Southern Ocean just before nightfall in the South Atlantic.
South-west of Cape Horn at 58S, the South African duo of Nick Leggatt and Phillippa Hutton-Squire on Phesheya-Racing have tapped into following breeze in the semi-static, Southern Ocean high pressure system that has dogged their passage to the Felipe Cubillos Cape Horn Gate, but are making good progress: 'The barometer has been absolutely flat on about 1024mb for over 48 hours, maybe even 72 hours now,' reported Nick Leggatt on Saturday morning. 'The wind has gradually backed into the south as we have rounded the bottom of the high necessitating a gybe early this morning,' he continues. 'In fact, as we skirt the south side of the high pressure the weather has been remarkably stable and yesterday evening we hoisted the A4 spinnaker.'
At 12:00 GMT on Saturday, Phehseya-Racing was averaging 8.8 knots with 355 miles remaining until crossing the Felipe Cubillos Cape Horn Gate. As Leggatt celebrated his birthday on Friday, Phesheya-Racing dropped to 59S – the deepest the South Africans have ventured into the Southern Ocean: 'As a matter of interest, in terms of latitude we are only 120 miles north of Elephant Island, the scene of perhaps the most famous Antarctic survival story, where Sir Ernest Shackleton's crew sheltered for months while he took a small, wooden, open boat and some colleagues to seek help from the whaling station at South Georgia,' Leggatt explains.
The strangely benign conditions just north of Antarctica look set to continue for the near future: 'Overnight we had some fog, but that cleared by the morning and we were left with the usual dreary grey Southern Ocean sky,' says Leggatt. 'The wind has generally been very light, though we have had some periods with stronger gusts where we have made good speeds despite hooking a large raft of kelp around a rudder.'
With the South African team's Cape Horn ETA bid for the Navigation Prize standing at 02:18 GMT on Monday, the confused conditions ahead remain a handicap: 'We're still not completely clear of the high pressure, though we are now reaching quite fast in a southerly breeze,' continues Leggatt. 'We still anticipate some variability in the wind tomorrow before it swings back to the west ahead of an approaching cold front that should take us the rest of the way to Cape Horn.'
Meanwhile, 560 miles to the north-east, Marco Nannini and Hugo Ramon had emerged from Le Maire Strait between Tierra del Fuego and Isla de Los Estados spending four hours in the 16-mile long channel and keeping to the mainland shore: 'Sighting land was quite special,' says Nannini. 'These are stretches of land you only get to read about in books and that I will probably never see again unless I do another yacht race around the world!' he adds of the extraordinary backdrop after four weeks at sea without landfall. 'The steep cliffs of Tierra del Fuego are snow-capped even now, in summer, and everything looks quite wild and barren,' explains the Italian skipper. 'The strait has a bit of a reputation for its strong currents and overfalls, so much so that most yachts racing up this way tend to pass to the outside and east of the Isla De Los Estatos, but we figured we had good weather and could do with some sightseeing after so many days with just water around us,' he adds.
Tide and current data for the strait is patchy and hard to find, but Nannini and Ramon got lucky: 'The current increased steadily until it reached nearly five knots,' continues Nannini. 'It's a good job we didn't arrive at the wrong time of the day as the wind was so light that there's no way we could have gone against the flow,' he admits. 'A few hours later we had been spat out into the Atlantic and as the current faded away, we drifted slowly for a while before a gentle wind started to fill the sails.' At midday GMT on Saturday, Financial Crisis was on port tack in light headwinds from the high pressure system centred above the Falkland Islands 200 miles to the north-east.
Leading the fleet 355 miles to the north of Financial Crisis and with 809 miles to the finish, Conrad Colman and Adrian Kuttel on Cessna Citation had broken free of the light airs from the Falkland's high pressure system and were making good speed towards the predicted strong, following breeze from the low pressure system to the north which may provide a fast finish for the Kiwi-South African duo.
GOR leaderboard at 12:00 GMT 25/02/12:
1. Cessna Citation DTF 809 8.9kts
2. Financial Crisis DTL 355 7.6kts
3. Phesheya-Racing DTL 952

Lady Antebellum performance video surfaces at 96.9 The Kat
Lady Antebellum performed a green room performance back in 2008 before their self titled debut release. Like many performances, we shoot and archive the footage, in case we need to go back and reuse it for other applications. For whatever reason, I did not record the name of the band onto the MiniDV tape that was used for the shoot. Fast forward to January 2012. I found several tapes that appeared to be blank, and most where, until I came across this footage of Lady A from their Southeast radio tour. In these tours, Record Labels bring around new artists so Program Directors can hear and meet the talent first hand. I remember shooting the footage and thinking that they sounded really good in the headphones. The band's performance is fresh but a sneak at what was to come. Take a listen as they perform "Love's Lookin' Good on You," "All We'd Ever Need," "Love Don't Live Here," and "Long Gone." Enjoy and leave feedback below.

Sydney Radio 2GB Hosts Debate - "Arguments Rage over 9/11: John Bursill vs. Mike King"
Australia's Radio 2GB: Sydney Live with Ben Fordham hosts 9/11 debate
"Arguments Rage over 9/11: John Bursill vs. Mike King"
September 5, 2011
This excellent debate can be heard at 2GB, Sydney's number 1 rated talk station which has been broadcasting for over 80 years, part of Macquarie Radio Network, hosted by 2GB's show, "The Lounge", or via upload to YouTube here ( Audio of Part I ; Audio of Part II )
Sydney Live 3 till 6 is presented by Walkley award winning reporter Ben Fordham.
Who is host Ben Fordham?
Ben Fordham, Host of 2GB's Sydney Live - 3 till 6, Ben Fordham is a Walkley award winning reporter who still can't believe he gets paid to work in radio and television. Ben has called Channel Nine home for the past decade, reporting from around the world on 60 Minutes, A Current Affair, Nine News and Today Show. His stories have been broadcast internationally on CNN, SKY and ABC AMERICA. ... On radio, Ben has become a popular part-time radio host on AM stations. His most recent stint was filling in for Steve Vizard on the morning shift on Melbournes MTR. He's also the Australian correspondent for some overseas radio stations. Ben's coming-of-age in journalism came before he celebrated his 21st birthday. Then a political correspondent on Sydney radio, Fordham won a Walkley Award -- Australia's top award in journalism - for his coverage of the Thredbo landslide tragedy and a Raward - the top accolade in the Australian radio industry - for excellence in journalism. He became the youngest reporter in history to win a Walkley-Raward double and was honoured on Australia Day with a Young Citizen of the Year award. (continued)
Who is Mike King?
I am trained in science but my day job for the last twenty years is in the visual arts. In the material below I have attempted to check and double check facts and calculations, but like all of us am prone to error. I would be delighted to hear from anyone who would like to point out errors of data or calculation, or errors in the flow of argument, and will be pleased to change the text and give appropriate credit. New evidence will undoubtedly come to light over time, and this may alter the known facts and the course of my arguments here or even reverse them. So much the better: I call that good science.

Who is John Bursill? (http://visibility911.com/johnbursill/about-john-bursill/)
John Bursill (Born 1968) is a Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer based in Sydney Australia working on Boeing Aircraft and is qualified in Avionics (Elect/Inst/Radio) on the 767, 747 and 737 series aircraft. He is a family man and involved with numerous community events and organisations. John has served his country as a member of the Australian Army Reserve over many years and finished up as acting Operations/Intelligence Sargent for 4/3 RNSWR. John considers himself a true patriot of his country and a supporter of the US alliance in the sense of us together supporting national security, freedom and justice throughout the world.
His affiliations include:
Delegate: Australian Licensed Aircraft Engineers Association
John has been a serious 9/11 Truth Activist since 2006 when in January he viewed "Loose Change -- 2nd Edition" on the internet after a fellow Aircraft Engineer he worked with expressed a concern that maybe one of those crazy "conspiracy theories" might actually be true and suggested he watch the film. John had a great struggle with the evidence presented in this amateur documentary and was very keen to debunk it. Unfortunately even though the film makers had made a few mistakes and allowed speculation to creep into their production it was obvious that the "Official Conspiracy Theory" was not true. Since then he is doing all that one man can to find the truth and to inform the public of that truth to hopefully create interest in questioning Australian and US foreign policy based on a 9/11 delusion.
John after many years of research is convinced that 9/11 was a psychological operation designed to promote a war agenda spelt out by the Neo-Cons around the Bush/Cheney Administration and specifically the "Project for the New American Century" in their manifesto "Rebuilding America's Defenses". It seems to John based on the evidence that 9/11 was perpetrated and/or covered up by elements within the United States Government, the Military Industrial Security Complex and with the assistance of individuals in the FBI and NIST (National Institute of Science and Technology). It also is blatantly obvious that the "9/11 Commission" was set up to fail as has been said by many of the commissioners and their chairmen Keen and Hamilton; this is completely unacceptable and is a slap in the face for the family members of the victims which include ten Australian's families.

I love this rug... modern, minimal made in New Zealand wool , dyed with non-toxic colorants and hand-woven on traditional Indian looms... spectacular colours...love.
Do you think "normal" people (i.e. non architects) could pull this off?
I love the look of this, the natural light and softness.
This rug is mesmerizing and dramatic. Great look for any room and perfect for an inner city loft for a trendy look.Tags: modern, flooring, rugs, brown, blue, loft, apartments, wood flooring, blueandbrownAdded 9 Years Ago from Horchow
The brown scrolling on this rug turns a simple blue into elegant floor art. Modern and unique this is perfect for a loft or apartment. These colors are really popular as well.Tags: modern, flooring, floor, rugs, brown, blue, loft, apartments, brown and blueAdded 9 Years Ago from Horchow
