Oh what tangled webs they weave. On Monday the Liberal backbencher Bronwyn Bishop leapt on to the Pauline Hanson "martyrdom" bandwagon, hyperbolically labelling her Australia's first political prisoner. Mrs Bishop castigated the Queensland Premier, Peter Beattie, and blamed him for the prosecution that led to Ms Hanson's three-year jail term last week for election fraud, arising out of the false registration of One Nation in Queensland and consequent unlawful receipt of nearly $500,000 in election funding after the 1998 Queensland election.
Meanwhile, Mrs Bishop's deputy leader, the Treasurer, Peter Costello, was far more circumspect. Ms Hanson's guilt, he sensibly noted, was determined by a jury of representative Queenslanders and that "the idea that this is all some kind of fix is nonsense". That should have been enough to embarrass Mrs Bishop. But she had ventured further than she knew into a political mire.
On the same day as Mrs Bishop's outburst, her North Shore neighbouring Liberal MP - the Workplace Relations Minister and federal Government enforcer, Tony Abbott - was seeking to explain his role in Mrs Hanson's undoing. Mr Abbott, as it turns out, was the financial backer and urger of the disaffected One Nation candidate, Terry Sharples, who finally succeeded alone in legally challenging One Nation's Queensland registration. It was Mr Sharples's activism which led to the criminal investigation of Ms Hanson and her One Nation co-founder, David Ettridge, and, ultimately, to their incarceration.
The accusation has been with Mr Abbott for five years, but he attempted to conceal the link. "So there was never any question of any party funds or other funds from any other source being offered to Mr Sharples?" Mr Abbot was asked on ABC's Four Corners program in 1998. "Absolutely not," Mr Abbott answered. Mr Abbott's deceit adds piquancy to his revelation on Monday that he raised nearly $100,000 from unnamed donors to the secretive Australians For Honest Politics. Mr Abbott says his shadowy operations were motivated by his belief that One Nation jeopardised not only his government but Australian social cohesion.
That is a judgement anyone is entitled to make or to dispute. That is political freedom. It is one thing, however, to wish to counter a political threat. It is another to actively promote and assist in legal proceedings to that end. Mr Abbott is not entitled to lie later about his involvement in this activity, whether to the media, a constituent, or the Parliament. Mr Abbot now concedes he twice arranged pro-bono lawyers to assist Mr Sharples. His actions have a whiff of the old offence of maintenance and champerty, meddling in another's law suit for his own advantage.
The brouhaha of Mr Abbott's own making may well blow over and be soon forgotten. But if that happens it will not mean it has raised no issue of importance. On the contrary, that will be yet another demonstration of how far honesty has ceased to matter in Australian politics. As for Mrs Bishop, the revelations now coming from Mr Abbott will show whether she was motivated by principle or point-scoring.
The Immigration Minister, Philip Ruddock, thinks the full court of the Family Court is wrong to free five children from detention, pending their deportation with their parents to Pakistan. He asks why the Family Court would expedite their case while Australians who have been convicted of offences and jailed often have to wait for long periods in detention before their appeals are heard. He says the Immigration Department obeys the law and the court's decision, but warns darkly that it must be assumed that "the court is accepting responsibility for the appropriate duty of care for the children".
Many, if not most Australians, accept the tougher immigration policies administered by Mr Ruddock. But if there is one aspect of these policies which causes most unease, it is the detention of children. Even Mr Ruddock seemed to acknowledge this late last year when he spoke of a more moderate policy which allows women and children to live outside detention centres. But when it comes to a case such as the one decided by the full bench of the Family Court on Monday - and against which he is appealing - he remains unbending.
For the moment, though, the five children are no longer held in the Baxter detention centre near Port Augusta in South Australia. The Family Court was influenced by the fact that their mother, 32 weeks' pregnant, is now in Adelaide for medical reasons. The court had no problem deciding the children's detention was illegal. Its dilemma was in deciding whether it was in the children's best interests to remain in the Baxter camp near their father or to taste freedom in suburban Adelaide, where they could visit their mother - who is being held under guard in a motel - and live a more normal life in the care of volunteers associated with the Catholic welfare agency Centacare.
The decision to free the children is conditional. They must be available for deportation with their parents when required. That may take many months, if only because of the difficulty in making repatriation arrangements. Before issuing Australian travel documents to allow their deportation, the Immigration Department must obtain identity documents for the mother and children by making its own investigation in Pakistan. That, for the moment, is impossible because of insecurity in the Quetta region. The five children have their freedom, if only briefly. Their case should mark the start of a wider relaxation of policy so that no child remains in detention.

About String Quartet
Maurice Ravel completed his String quartet in F major in early April 1903 at the age of 28. It was premiered in Paris in March the following year. The work follows a four-movement classical structure: the opening movement, in sonata form, presents two themes that occur again later in the work; a playful scherzo second movement is followed by a lyrical slow movement. The finale reintroduces themes from the earlier passages and ends the work vigorously.

Time Schedule:
Britt T. Yamamoto
Seattle Campus
Topics vary and are announced in the preceding quarter. Offered: AWSpS.
Class description
This class brings coursework in civil society into critical conversation with service learning projects in local organizations. Coursework will introduce students to the concept of civil society, its varied representations and its practice at different geographic scales. At the same time, students will volunteer at different Seattle-based organizations on projects that will emphasize work and service. In this course, these two experiences will be brought together through exercises which focus on the ways in which the broad theoretical tools for understanding civil society inform and conceal everyday practice and vice-versa.
The main themes of this course are to examine and think critically about how "good work"--through service, volunteerism and civil society--is discursively constructed, and how work in civil society and service learning is shaped by state, market and political forces. Furthermore, a central theme of this course will be, specifically, to situate the work of students from the University of Washington doing service learning and the organizations in which they are working, within a broader university politics and a multi-scalar political economy. We will examine a range of theories related to the intellectual discourse and study of civil society from both inside and outside the discipline of geography, particularly as civil society has been theorized in relation to the state and market and at different geographic scales.
Student learning goals
General method of instruction
In addition to conventional classroom instruction, the structure of this course will allow students an opportunity to work with and learn from local organizations working in civil society, including: private and community foundations, 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations and unincorporated grass-roots efforts.
In-class discussion, lecture, readings and written assignments on civil society will complement these service learning projects. Course requirements include weekly assignments, a final group project and final paper.
Recommended preparation
Graduating seniors, advanced undergraduates and graduate students who are: --Interested in doing service learning with a more critical focus; --Interested in better understanding the theoretical foundations and empirical dimensions of the civil society discourse; --Considering work or a career in the nonprofit/nongovernmental sector; --Interested in issues of service, volunteerism, citizenship and activism; --Curious to wrestle with how critical theory can be applied in practical work; --Thinking about doing volunteer or development work overseas.
Class assignments and grading
Written work incorporating reading material, service experience and individual reflection. Group work for final presenation.
Weekly Assignments (30%) Final Group Presentation (20%) Final Project Evaluation (10%) Final Paper (30%) Class Participation (10%)

The locks at London's Olympic football final venue Wembley Stadium have had to be changed, after police responsible for security at the world-famous sports arena lost their keys.
A Metropolitan Police spokesman told CNN on Monday that officers at the ground first realized the keys had gone missing last Tuesday, July 24.
Scotland Yard sent a team of detectives to the site to search for the missing set, but despite determining that they had not been stolen, officers were unable to find them.
As a result, Olympic Games organizers and embarrassed police chiefs decided that all internal locks inside the 90,000-seat stadium would have to be replaced.
A London 2012 spokesman told CNN: "Keys being used by police officers on searches at Wembley Stadium were reported missing… These were internal keys, locks have been changed and the security of the venue has not been compromised in any way."
Police insist there is no evidence of any criminal offense in relation to the keys, and no risk to security because of their loss.
"There is absolutely no security concern in relation to the stadium, as measures were taken immediately to secure all key areas of the venue," the Metropolitan Police said in a statement.
The cost of replacing all the high-tech laser keys used at Wembley is expected to run into tens of thousands of dollars.

Description: "Sparta made young boys into warriors; it was left to the warriors to restore themselves to men . . ."Conrad Farrell's family has no military heritage, but as a classics major at Williams, he saw the sturdy appeal of the marine ethic: "Semper fidelis" came straight from the ancient world, from Sparta, where every citizen doubled as a full-time soldier. When, after college, Conrad joined the marines, he expected to further a long tradition of honor, courage, and commitment. When Roxana Robinson's new novel,Sparta, begins, Conrad has just returned home to Westchester after four years in Iraq, and something is very wrong. Everything should be fine: He hasn't been shot or wounded by an IED, and he's never had psychological troubles. But as he attempts to reconnect with his girlfriend and find his footing in the civilian world, he has an impossible time adjusting—to the people and places he used to love, and to a commonplace life of hotel reservations, dinner conversation, long showers, and alone time. As the weeks turn into months, Conrad's bitterness only festers, and he begins to fear that his rage, when it comes out, will have irreparable consequences. Suspenseful and perceptive,Spartacaptures the nuances of the unique estrangement that modern soldiers face as they attempt to rejoin the society they've fought for. With the powerful insight and acuity that markedCostand her earlier novels, Robinson has delivered her best book yet.

Edith Wharton was a woman of extreme contrasts; brought up to be a leisured aristocrat, she was also dedicated to her career as a writer. She wrote novels of manners about the old New York society from which she came, but her attitude was consistently critical. Her irony and her satiric touches, as well as her insight into human character, continue to appeal to readers today. As a child, Wharton found refuge from the demands of her mother's social world in her father's library and in making up stories. Her marriage at age 23 to Edward ("Teddy") Wharton seemed to confirm her place in the conventional role of wealthy society woman, but she became increasingly dissatisfied with the "mundanities" of her marriage and turned to writing, which drew her into an intellectual community and strengthened her sense of self. After publishing two collections of short stories, The Greater Inclination (1899) and Crucial Instances (1901), she wrote her first novel, The Valley of Decision (1902), a long, historical romance set in eighteenth-century Italy. Her next work, the immensely popular The House of Mirth (1905), was a scathing criticism of her own "frivolous" New York society and its capacity to destroy her heroine, the beautiful Lily Bart. As Wharton became more established as a successful writer, Teddy's mental health declined and their marriage deteriorated. In 1907 she left America altogether and settled in Paris, where she wrote some of her most memorable stories of harsh New England rural life---Ethan Frome (1911) and Summer (1917)---as well as The Reef (1912), which is set in France. All describe characters forced to make moral choices in which the rights of individuals are pitted against their responsibilities to others. She also completed her most biting satire, The Custom of the Country (1913), the story of Undine Spragg's climb, marriage by marriage, from a midwestern town to New York to a French chateau. During World War I, Wharton dedicated herself to the war effort and was honored by the French government for her work with Belgian refugees. After the war, the world Wharton had known was gone. Even her Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, The Age of Innocence (1920), a story set in old New York, could not recapture the former time. Although the new age welcomed her---Wharton was both a critical and popular success, honored by Yale University and elected to The National Institute of Arts and Letters---her later novels show her struggling to come to terms with a new era. In The Writing of Fiction (1925), Wharton acknowledged her debt to her friend Henry James, whose writings share with hers the descriptions of fine distinctions within a social class and the individual's burdens of making proper moral decisions. R.W.B. Lewis's biography of Wharton, published in 1975, along with a wealth of new biographical material, inspired an extensive reevaluation of Wharton. Feminist readings and reactions to them have focused renewed attention on her as a woman and as an artist. Although many of her books have recently been reprinted, there is still no complete collected edition of her work.

It turns out that the Fiscal Cliff is not so complicated after all. Noah Williams-Morrill, a sixth grader at West Reading Elementary Center in Pennsylvania, explains it in one minute.
Seriously, it's just as simple as Noah Williams-Morrill says it is. I know there are many people, many of my friends on the Vine even, who say going over the cliff isn't a big deal. It's a slope, it's a curb, etc. But the truth of the matter is that we shouldn't have to go through this. Things like education and our national security need not be compromised in this way. And when I say that, I mean the tantrum that Republicans in Congress are, once again, throwing.
We've gotten so used to this type of obstructionism in the past two years, so many things we've done without, that going over the cliff would be yet another sacrifice we would survive. After all, we survived our credit rating being lowered. But here's the thing: we shouldn't have to. We know the group who is to blame for our claustrophobic inaction in Congress. The polls show this to be true.
And yet, the Republicans in Congress have no shame. They have no conscience and they could care less about any difficulty they might infringe on society while they are in the throes of obstructionism. They refuse to listen to the American people as a whole, but maybe, they can spare a minute and listen to this kid. At least he is taking a reasonable approach towards their insensitive insanity.
Wishful thinking, I know...

The idyllic Maldives archipelago play host to the SriLankan Airlines Pro, a critical 6-star Prime WQS event that is held at Pasta Point, a rolling and rippable left that is perfect for big airs and high performance surfing. Follow it live at www.srilankanairlinespro.com

The 2009 Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) six star PRIME rated SriLankan Airlines Pro began at the famous Pasta Point in the Maldives today and the world's finest surfers wasted no time acclimatising and ripping into the fun 1m (3ft) surf.
Hawaiian Casey Brown opened the event impressively scoring both the days highest heat win (15.66 out of a possible 20) along with the highest wave score of an 8.83 (out of a possible 10) on a ride which saw him complete a series of powered critical turns along with a perfectly executed air reverse.
"It's always good to win through that round one heat, we've all traveled a long way to get here and you'd feel really down to lose out and be eliminated straight away so it's a relief" said Brown.
"It's such a fun event here, great free surfing waves in all directions and you just want to do well and enjoy the whole week."
While today's waves were not perfect there was plenty of scope for strong scores with the mechanical peeling point offering multiple sections for surfers to perform on.
Other heat winners to impress were former event champion Daniel Redman (South Africa), Portugal's Ruben Gonzalez, Rudy Palboom (South Africa), Christophe Allary (Reunion) and Alejo Muniz (Brazil).
Australia's Jack Perry summarized the feelings of most surfers here today after his strong heat win by saying, " I always have a great time here, we're competing in a really important event at the midpoint of the year but the atmosphere is just great, it's like we're all on holidays but a good result here means a lot to your ASP season so you have to remain focused."
"The waves today were nothing like as good as it can get but still they were a lot of fun and you can really perform in these conditions – the outlook is solid and if it gets like last year then we're surfing in amazingly perfect waves so fingers crossed!"
Strong afternoon winds saw event organizers finish the day early with just 8 heats completed and organizers will reconvene first thing tomorrow morning.
SriLankan Airlines Pro 2009 is made possible thanks to the following sponsors: SriLankan Airlines, John Keells Group, Chaaya Island – Dhonveli, Atoll Travel, Atoll Adventures, Ocean & Earth International, Dhiraagu, Maldives Tourism & Promotions Board, ASP Australasia.
ASP Australasia as the event managers will deliver a quality live Webcast along with Television News Feeds, complimentary Digital Images for newspapers and websites, Web highlight packages and a dedicated 30 minute international television program.

I find products like this to be a little confusing from a consumer-value point of view.
I've had limited experience with the HTC One M8, but I will tell you it's a beautiful device. What I have trouble understanding is, that if you are an audiophile, like I am, why in the name of all that is holy are you listening to music on a phone? Why do you think that a multi-function device is able to deliver sound quality in the same vein or fashion as lossless music players? If you want to get serious about digital music, go FLAC, go lossless, at least go get a dedicate player like Cowon iAudio and listen to music more like it should be heard.
I like Harmon Kardon, I've been using their receivers for years, albeit I will say their quality and QA have decreased signficantly over the past years. Same could be said of other trusted audio brands like Klipsch, and the hardware quality of device manufactures like Cowon.
I'll get off my high-horse now, and say that if you are looking for a smartphone that plays music, you may just be looking for a little better sound than the drek that is out there now. So maybe this HK version of the M8 is right for you. I will say the AE-S ear buds look pretty, and nice and sturdy, surely better than typical ones you would get. Sounds like there are some equalizer options in there for customization as well. I don't hear anything else that points to improved hardware or audio codecs that may lead towards a better sounding experience beyond the headphones and software equalization though.

In many of our recent articles, we have looked at how to use the screen and other UI templates offered by the BrightScript SDK. These components are great for getting your channels developed quickly and for giving them the standard Roku look and feel.
There may be times, however, when you want to build something that doesn't fit into this template model. You might want to implement your own custom grid for displaying poster art, display text in a non-standard way, or create a simple casual game. For many of these situations, the BrightScript 2D Graphics API may be just the thing you are looking for. The 2D API provides a number of fundamental drawing functions for drawing basic shapes, rendering and rotating images, and the like.
In this article we will look at the most basic operations provided by the 2D API. In a later installment we will dive into more advanced topics such as double buffering. Like always, a sample BrightScript channel with full source code accompanies this article. In this case, I've written a basic tic tac toe game. The game engine was ported from a free JavaScript sample that can be found at JavaScriptKit. This version of tic tac toe pits you against your Roku Streaming Player. Download the sample from this link and install it onto your player. You can use the remote control arrow keys to move around the playing grid, highlighting the currently focused square as you go. To select your move, press the OK key and a large 'X' will be drawn in your selected square. The Roku device will then make its move, drawing a circle in the square it selects. Play continues until one of you wins, or you tie. Please note that this sample game has been written for HD only, and won't look too great on SD TVs. A sample of the game screen in shown below.
roScreen and the ifDraw2D Interface
The first thing to know about using the 2D API is that all rendering with the API is done via functions defined on the ifDraw2D interface. This interface is in turn implemented by the roScreen component. Therefore, in order to use the 2D API, your channel needs to create an instance of roScreen. Creating an roScreen instance is as simple as creating any other screen type in BrightScript:
screen = CreateObject("roScreen")
When creating an roScreen instance, CreateObject can accept a second optional boolean parameter that indicates whether the screen is double buffered.
screen = CreateObject("roScreen", true) 'This creates a double buffered screen
The 2D API supports alpha blending. To turn on alpha blending call SetAlphaEnable(true). To disable alpha blending call SetAlphaEnable(false). API calls that take a color value include an alpha value that is used when alpha blending is enabled.
Like other BrightScript screen types, roScreen should be assigned a message port so that it can listen for application events such as remote control events. Once the screen is created, you can start calling 2D API functions. We will get to some of these shortly. First though we need to talk about a very key step in drawing 2D graphics. To guarantee that graphic operations are performed in single buffered screens, your channel needs to call the ifDraw2D method Finish(). Finish is a synchronous API that forces all queued graphics calls to complete. Before calling Finish, graphics that your channel renders may not be visible to the user. Keep this in mind as you are experimenting with the 2D API. If things that you are expecting are not drawing on the screen, check to see if Finish is being called. Taking the Finish function into account, the typical single buffered 2D API channel will have code that looks like this:
screen = CreateObject("roScreen") port = CreateObject("roMessagePort") screen.SetMessagePort(port) 'Perform various drawing, graphics, etc. operations screen.Finish()
The majority of the work of course is done by the specific 2D API methods which we introduce next.
Drawing Lines and Rectangles
Perhaps the simplest graphics operations that you can perform with the 2D API are drawing lines and rectangles. The corresponding API functions are
Boolean DrawLine(Integer xStart, Integer yStart, Integer xEnd, Integer yEnd, Integer rgba) Boolean DrawRect(Integer x, Integer y, Integer width, Integer height, Integer rgba)
These functions are pretty obvious, except perhaps for the return values and the rgba argument. Many of the 2D API drawing functions return a Boolean value indicating whether the call completed successfully. The rgba argument is also common to many of the functions, and specifies the RGB color value as well as the alpha channel value to use when rendering the associated object. For example, to draw a filled yellow filled rectangle at location (0,0) that is 100 pixels wide and 200 pixels high with 100% alpha, you would call DrawRect as follows:
screen.DrawRect(0, 0, 100, 200, &hFFFF00FF)
In our tic tac toe game, we use DrawRect and DrawLine calls to render the game grid, the focus rectangle that is drawn when a square is highlighted, and the 'X' used to mark the player's move selections:
Function mark_selected_move(index as integer, useX as Boolean) as void … 'Code removed for simplicity x = ((horz_line_sep) * index)+inset_x+line_width y = inset_y + 10 w = horz_line_sep h = vert_line_sep screen.DrawLine(x, y, w+x-10, h+y-10, &h808080FF) screen.DrawLine(x+horz_line_sep, y, x, h+y-10, &h808080FF) … End Function
This function defines the start and end points for two diagonal lines centered in the square in the game grid selected by the player. These values are defined in terms of things like the vertical and horizontal distances between the game grid lines, as well as the width of those lines. The essential point here is that the DrawLine function is used twice to mark the player's move on the game screen.
Drawing Images
The BrightScript 2D API can also be used to draw images. Images in JPG or PNG format can be rendered using the ifDraw2D interface DrawObject function:
Boolean DrawObject(Integer x, Integer y, Object src)
DrawObject renders the object specified by the src argument at the (x, y) location on the screen specified by the first two arguments. src can be an roBitmap or an roRegion (a section of a bitmap.) For example, to draw the image packaged with a channel in the location pkg:/images/myimage.png, you could use the following BrightScript code:
screen = CreateObject("roScreen") img = CreateObject("roBitmap", "pkg:/images/myimage.png") screen.DrawObject(0, 0, img) screen.Finish()
Our tic tac toe game uses this image rendering technique to draw a circle in game grid squares when the Roku Player makes a move. The 2D API does not include a function for drawing circles similar to DrawLine or DrawRect. Therefore in order to draw a circle to represent your opponent's moves, we draw a PNG file packaged with the channel.
Drawing Text
The 2d API can also be used to draw text. The function used for this purpose is, you guessed it, DrawText:
Boolean DrawText(String text, Integer x, Integer y, Integer rgba, Object font)
text contains the string to draw, and font contains the font to use when rendering the text. rgba contains the color and alpha values to use. In our tic tac toe game, we use DrawText to announce the winner of the game, or to indicate that there was a tie:
As an example of how to use the DrawText API, here is how you could draw the text "Hello Roku" using the default device font:
fontRegistry = CreateObject("roFontRegistry") font = fontRegistry.GetDefaultFont() screen.DrawText(txt, 0, 0, &h00FFFFFF, font) screen.Finish()
Note that drawing text is a very expensive operation and should be done sparingly.
More Information
More information about the 2D API can be found starting from the SDK documentation for the roScreen component at this link. The tic tac to sample game can be downloaded by clicking this link. Stay tuned for more articles on additional 2D graphics topics. In the meantime, have fun experimenting with Roku's graphics features.

Notes from an "alternate universe". Introduction to a new way of thinking.
Poster Handle
Post Content
I suppose the
question is really "How do I get from Point A to Point B?"
Thank you Chaol for your clarifications.
Apologies for the long post, which is because I seemed as if I was trying to discredit you on something with my posts, whereas I was trying to elaborate on what you have said, through my own perspective and trying to make obvious, something that apparently isn't so.
It is expectable that somebody who lives in a world like yours, may have only to think of your question above. But in this world we have to deal with the
question first and that is, "what is the point B?" (which is a question by the way, that wouldn't exist if none has ever told us that there are "points" out there)
Maybe you take it for granted that point B can always be available and handy to anyone of us.
I do understand that once you have articulated (or defined, or even better represented) what point B is, then the subconscious takes over and guide you through to it, making it relative to your experience. You show it the dot to connect it for you. You do that by representing it with a "crazy" symbol and by following some "crazy" rules (the craziest the better) you will eventually see/experience the dot you asked your Genius to show you.
That is understandable (simple) and makes sense to me.
I also understand that I dont have to enter into any game of Q&As afterwards, as to how am i going to experience it, what else i have to do to "help" it etc, etc. No, none of this.
Nevertheless, all my posts about the Q&As refer to the very very basics and even before you appear with the Ec and the Genius.
In this world we are used in questions "what do you desire", "what do you want", "make a wish" and follow "rational", "spiritual", "illegal", or all sorts of methods and ways to achieve it, with hit and miss results.
When you come and say "I will show you a way to experience what you want" with a solid rationale behind it, which comes down to "what you ask is what you (can) get, precisely", you create "confusion" to us, maybe because we are not used in asking precisely ourselves what we want to experience, or because we never thought we had to (like none of us has 3 questions handy to ask the alien tourist who will meet in a bar).
So, your method has revealed to us (or at least to me) that the most important bit each of us has to solve for himself before seeing any value or benefit from what you are saying, is to know "what is it that I ask".
It also seems to be easy for at least 20 recorded successes with the Genius, that is they knew what they asked for. But I risk to say that this is not the rule.
So I do understand you clearly, when you say
"When we "externalize the desire or want" we are communicating with our subconscious."
Meaning that
we have a "point B" ready, we pass it to the subconscious to do its job.
"We can ask questions about Point B but it is not the questions nor the answers that get us there."
Sure! all we need is just to name it: "this is the point B, take me there"
"The answer is that our waking mind represents what Point B is and our Genius (subconscious) makes it more relative to our current perspective."
Again to the point! Before you represent it, you must know what exactly you are representing.
Therefore, where i see you are helping me (and others) more, is to articulate the point B, which is a waking mind exercise, that is language, that is Q&A, that is words.
And if it is the point B, that will necessarily determine the perspective that we will experience, then the perspective will be subject to the Q&As we chose to ask ourselves before, in order to find it.
If not mistaken, I see you confirming it when you say:
"The way we define things surely affects our experience and the way we see things (and react to them)."
How else do we try to define things if not by (specific to us) Q&As?
"...What if our perspective is shaped from the languages we use?"
if the language we use is made by concepts that we arrived at through Q&A about (our) life and death then how ...
"we can consider that our current perspective is not based on the questions of our waking mind."
or even better when you used an example:
"this is a symbol of my wealth" is less specific than, say, "this is the key that opens the door to my estate in Monaco". With the former, the map is confused because
there is no specific perspective.
(emphasis mine)
Once we're able to define what it means then we can begin to experience it. But without a picture of what it means it is fairly meaningless."
What you've stated there is exactly as you said to me here:
"...it is not meant to be a question for the subconscious
(I never claimed it was, or that I ask questions my subconscious)
but more of a practical question about how to go about making a more effective model."
For the model to be effective therefore, it requires a clear definition of "point B".
"Once we are able to define it..."
That is my bottom line with my "Q&As posts" and the work needed to reach that stage first. If one can do it without Q&As to himself, then disregard everything I wrote about it.
I understand the entirety of your post and appreciate the work that has gone into it. I think that my response can be summed up as, "point B is never clearly defined".
As we cannot perceive of something directly, so too would point B not be perceived directly. Thus, we cannot clearly define it.
I agree with your statements that we need to define what point B is. But this is more of a 'general idea' or what would be called a reference because we are trying to perceive of a "future" perspective from the "present".
To put it an other way, if you want to drive to Arlington you could:
1) Ask questions and provide answers consciously, perhaps by looking at a map
2) Get in the car and go somewhere specific. It doesn't matter where.
I am suggesting #2, with the important point to have a clear idea in mind about
destination. It need not be Arlington in order to get to Arlington.
We are learning how to perceive "Arlington" wherever we may be. If you want to define Arlington that's fine. But the definition is what you make it. It only matters that something is defined now. (It can all ways be changed later, and most often is as we seem to change perspectives.)
But I think most often we get stuck on the destination and thinking too much about it.
As if we can perceive it clearly from where we stand.
So we squint and try to take a gander and make out what is in the distance.. all the while forgetting that it is here now.
#2 is about seeing point B in the here and now. When you get in the car and drive the road will automatically shift to your destination, even if you think you're not going in the right direction.
#1 is the natural way and it's what we're used to. But the wisdom of the Genius is far more clever.
Please verify you're human:

By Sgt. Alun Thomas
1st Cavalry Division public affairs
CAMP TAJI, Iraq - Following the fall of Saigon in 1975, many Vietnamese immigrants saw the United States as a beacon of hope as they escaped their war-torn nation. The family of Capt. Tram Truong was no exception, seeing little future in a country traumatized by years of fighting and hostility. Luckily for Truong, a flight surgeon for 4th Battalion, 227th Aviation Regiment, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, the U.S. turned out to be her family's savior and led to her serving in the U.S. Army.
Truong, who was born in Vietnam, said her parents witnessed the Vietnam War and were disillusioned with the outcome.
"They had three daughters and thought it would be a better life (in America), because we were growing up in the communist times," Truong, 32, said. "My dad doesn't talk much about (the Vietnam War). He was in the Vietnamese army fighting the (communists) and he was in the concentration camps for several years."
The communist environment stifled the chances of a good education, another factor in the move to the United States, Truong said.
"My mother wanted to be a lawyer but never got to pursue it because she was restricted on what she could do education-wise," Truong said. "She saw this as a limiting factor for us kids."
With the assistance of relatives already in the United States, Truong's family managed to secure admission into their new country.
"My aunt's family sponsored my mom so we could come to America," Truong said. "The process took several years and I came over with my family in 1985 when I was 7."
At first, things were difficult because Truong's parents were struggling to make ends meet; the language barrier was also a problem. Things improved significantly for Truong's family when they moved to California, where there were more job opportunities.
"My dad was originally an engineer in Vietnam and when he came to the U.S. they didn't recognize his degree," Truong said. "He eventually got his engineering degree in the U.S., and he and my mother got into the electronic field."
Truong wanted to become a doctor. She joined the Army through the Health Professional Scholarship Program, which helped pay for medical school.
After graduating from medical school, Truong was promoted to captain and assigned to Fort Belvoir, Va., where she was told she would deploy to Iraq with the 1st Air Cavalry Brigade. Truong's husband is a captain in the Army also and works at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., a situation which she finds difficult sometimes.
"My husband is also a physician, but I think it's just a little too hard being dual military," Truong said about being separated from her husband. "For officers it may be a little easier, but it's whatever works for the military and if they can accommodate you, they'll try."

Get UK Property Law Questions Answered by Experts
HI Alex thank you for responding so promptly.In your opinion would documented police visits and the fact that the tenants in question were already on the radar of the local authority for criminal and nuisance behaviour be evidence enough to back up our claim as from our conversations with the local police/council liaison officer this matter has been going on for many years,also could the vendor argue that because they personally did not have any issues that they did not have to disclose this.
Thank you just one more question ,is there a maximum time period to pursue legal action?
Thank you very much for your help Alex.

As I sit here on this 2nd weekend in November looking out my window at 5 inches of fallen snow with plenty more to come, I think of all the things I was supposed to do today. Maybe if I jot them down, you'll remember to pick them up before the inevitable winter comes creeping to you.
1. Put the patio furniture and grill away
2. Reorganize the shed- I always like to reorganize my shed late in the fall. I keep some Christmas stuff (tree, lights) in there, and it's nice to…Continue

William Patrick Butler of Shearstown is escorted into provincial court in Harbour Grace on Thursday, Dec. 13 by RCMP Const. Corette Penney and guard Mike Farrell (background).
A 52-year-old male resident of Shearstown will spend a second night behind bars after a provincial court judge ruled that he be remanded back into custody until she had more time to review the case.
A bail hearing for William Patrick Butler took place late this afternoon (Dec. 13), and the facts disclosed during the hearing convinced Judge Jacqueline Brazil that she could not immediately rule on whether the accused should be released.
Butler has been making headlines since it was revealed he allegedly shot and killed his dog on Monday.
He now faces a growing list of charges stemming from a second incident on Wednesday evening, when he allegedly threatened the person who originally reported the incident with the dog.
Butler is reported to have admitted to taking the dog outside and killing it with a shotgun. He also told police the dog was healthy at the time.
The incident was reported to police on Dec. 10, and Butler was later arrested and charged, and released for a future court date.
But on Wednesday, police received another call, alleging that Butler had issued threats.
He was again arrested and charged with uttering threats. As the investigation continued, police determined there was enough evidence to charge Butler with careless use of a firearm and assault, stemming from two unrelated incidents.
During today's bail hearing, it was revealed that Butler has previous convictions for uttering threats, theft and mischief.
He is due back in court at 9:30 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 14.

The Wildcat formation was the tits last season for offenses looking to mix it up and try and outwit their opponents. This season their will be no Wildcat in the 49ers offensive playbook, instead their will be the 'Taser' which is Jimmy Raye's take on the Wildcate formation. SI.com has a nice article talking about Jimmy Raye and his 'Taser'
Oh and after reading the article you'll come to realize the Taser is no different than the Wildcat. Guess Jimmy just wants to be different.

Providence Biltmore, Curio Collection by Hilton
11 Dorrance Street, Providence, RI
0,7 km från
1010 kr+
Location Empty vending machines Dirty Loose fixtures in bathroom
Nice place. Great location. Really small rooms. Do NOT get any of the rooms with a room number that ends in 29!!
Suite with 2 kings and living area good decor and comfort
Room was huge (stayed in junior suite alone), very clean, staff polite and attentive, especially house car/valet folks. Proximity to everything was perfect. I wish I could stayed more than one night!
Loved this hotel. We got a junior suite (for a great price). Had views of Brown/RISD, the Capitol, etc.
Almost everything about the Biltmore is awesome. It's a beautiful hotel. It's got a ton of charm. The rooms are spectacular. The beds are comfortable. The staff is amazing. The location is central and perfect. It's one of the best hotels I've ever stayed in including various Four Seasons etc. I could wax lyrical for hours... but the net-net is that every time I'm in Providence, I'll be staying at the Biltmore. The quality of the room service breakfast was lacking. Poor food quality. No jam for the toast or syrup for the pancakes and the coffee was lame.
Attitudes of staff
Nice stay as usual Housekeeping interrupting us 3 times in the morning claiming they weren't notified by the desk about our late checkout for 1pm therefore interrupting our extra needed rest
The Biltmore Hotel is a reasonable place to consider for a visit to Providence. It is an older hotel with a historic background and there is a certain charm to staying at such a place in comparison to the typical chain. That said, one must make a few accommodations in this regard. Some things may strike one as dated be it the size of the bathroom, or the trim, or the non-self-closing door (which I actually liked). The skim coat in my shower was cracked..so what?. There is no pool. There is a full-service Starbucks adjoining the lobby. I grew up staying at older hotels with my grandmother. I find them charming. The place is clean and the staff are kind. The bed was very comfortable though rather high off the ground compared to most. The furnishings were contemporary and functioned well. I got a two room suite fit for a CEO for under $200 a night. I have no complaints.
It has charm and a richness.
Central Providence. Five to ten minute walk to area colleges, civic center, numerous restaurants, boutique and mall shopping. All rooms recently and tastefully renovated. Starbucks on site. Excellent staff. Immediately surrounded by historic buildings. Peregrine falcons nest on nearby building (the "superman building"). Expensive ($28) valet parking. No overnight parking on any of city's streets.
very clean, nice and efficient! Thanks!
The location of the hotel was great with lots of bars, restaurants and event locals close by. Hotel was a bit below its normal price point in my opinion. Our suite was very nice but the shower sucked. I'm glad that we got a promotional/discount rate.
Quiet street in noisy city Great staff Decor Stability ball in gym was deflated, so minor.
It was a beautiful hotel with pleasant, helpful staff. The room was elegant and had everything we needed. It was centrally located. Near both great restaurants and the Providence Performing Arts Center where we caught a show. The front desk staff was a little slow when checking out. Other than that . . .it was all great.
We loved everything. The hotel was beautiful, comfortable and ideally located. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I can't say enough. I will definitely stay here again. Everything was ideal.
Clean well appointed room. Nice bathroom. K cup coffee and tea. Great location. Good staff and valley. Some minor street noise on the alley side
The bed and the pillows were very comfortable. The staff was very unorganized and were very easy to get confused. The valet parking was a joke.
Charming boutique hotel. First-rate front desk staff—friendly and helpful. Ideal location on a quiet side street but close to downtown's shops and restaurants. Easy walk to Brown and RISD campuses
The staff were great, not only attentive but cheerful and genuinely friendly, enjoyed chatting with us. Only a few blocks to walks along the river. Nice big room, really soft bed. We stopped here on the way home from Maine to Brooklyn, NY, and probably will again next year. The coffee.
We booked this hotel because we were in town for one night, visiting the Waterfire festival. The location was great, close walking distance to the festival, downtown shopping, and restaurants. The hotel staff/policies were incredibly unhelpful. We were informed when we checked in that if we had called and asked for the military/ government rate we would of paid less than 50% of what we were charged. Of course, there was nothing they could do about it now. What they didn't tell us at check in was that the deluxe king room we had reserved and paid twice what we should of for, was unavailable. They happily checked us in and sent us up to what I can only assume is the worst room in this 4 star hotel. The glass shelf in the bathroom was broken, there was a large stain on the carpet, the door was so crooked on the hinges there were cracks you could easily see through at the top and bottom. But worst of all, it was a QUEEN sized bed, not KING. Shouldn't be the end of the world, but paying double what we were supposed to and then not even getting what we payed for- not really okay. Assuming they gave us the wrong room unintentionally, we gathered our things and went back to check in, where we were told that A: they can't change our room because the hotel is completely booked. B: it was in the fine print of "whatever website" we booked on that the room wasn't guaranteed. C: there was no offer of a rate reduction or other forms of compensation. Well, after reading all the terms and conditions of the website, and finding nothing mentioning the room not being guaranteed, we called the website, who did everything in their power to help, but we ended up cancelling the hotel reservation (through the website, not the hotel) for a full refund. No complaints about the website, they even went so far as to call all the other 4 star hotels in the area trying to get us a transfer. The hotel on the other hand, is a buisness I hope never to meet again.
Excellent location. Helpful, friendly staff. Great room. We had a wonderful time.
This is a very attractive hotel. The people are very nice. The rooms are attractive with comfortable beds. There is a bar downstairs with excellent music and no cover. The food at breakfast was excellent. The booking never got through to the front desk, but they honored the price on my confirmation email.
The location was perfect for the seminar we were taking the price was very high for what we received.
Having made a reservation for two doubles in june for oct, we arrived to find there were none available. We were give a king and rollaway torture bed. We wetre told that rooms were given to walk-ins first come, first serve. Why do you take our phone # and credit card? Parking outrageously expensive with no options.
Convenience and good service of the hotel staffs. Room cleanliness is good and comfortable. only free wifi at the hotel lobby.
The professionalism of the reservation agent at the hotel. They did not have the reservation that I made in their system. So had I not called ahead of time to cancel, there would've been some awkwardness of having booked the room online only to not have it in the hotels system.
The great restaurant and security No
Comfort of the room & location to the conference facilities in the city On the final night, there was a disturbance (drunk young men) on our floor. Despite being informed at 2.30am - the staff/security did not deal with this issue until 5.30am. By this point, my night's sleep was beyond repair! We were not offered componsation for this - which was very disappoionting, as we paid a lot of money for this room, and only managed a few hours sleep.
Staff were helpful Bathroom was very small and needed some renovation. Room was dark and could have used better lighting.
Very expensive for a very basic hotel.
Perfect location for show @ DD Center, & walking distance to plenty of sights/restaraunts/bars/shopping. Daily parking rate of $25. Walked everywhere, so didn't use car for two days.
People were generally friendly, but a lack of either flexibility or authority with the front level staff was mildly upsetting. I booked two nights separately online. (I decided to add a night to the stay in advance of going). When I got to the hotel I mentioned this and they said it wouldn't be an issue. Just to check back in the next day. When I went to check back in at 8 AM, it was an issue. They wanted to move me because someone had already checked in online for my room? I had to spend half an hour and speak with 3 people to get it resolved. The woman at the front desk originally told me there was nothing they could do. It would have been nice if she had offered to check with someone rather than me having to ask to speak with a manager.
The check in & concierge were efficient. Although whilst they foced on dining. I believe for me it would have been more advantageous to mention the trolley tour bus which shows you around the city as I was only there for one day & had travelled from Australia. By the time I read a brochure Sunday morning the tours didn't start till 11.00 when I was ready to leave.. Also my daughter Julie has called the hotel as they had debited our credit card almost $500 even though I paid cash Saturday. As at Yesterday this matter still had not been rectified. We had two rooms there, perhapsd as a good will gesture you could comp them a room in the future. Regards Kathleen Roberts Other thana the hotel breakfast lounge we couldn't find anyway else for breakfast.
Everything about the Dean felt like it had been planned out very meticulously. The lighting, amazing linens, and custom soaps and shower gels were all perfect. We kept discovering great "little" gems throught our whole stay!
The hotel delivered as expected. Rooms were up to date. The shower was a bit tricky to use. Cost of parking $26 was a bit high
On a college tour with my 17 year old daughter and she fell in love with Providence mainly because of the experience we had at and around the Dean. Great service; everyone was friendly and helpful. The rooms and public spaces were eclectic but comfortable. Highly recommend it.
The staff was friendly. The rooms are smaller which is fine. Lack of coffee maker Small ironing board No closet
Bed squeeked.
Enjoyed the bars downstairs at the hotel. The staff was pretty pretentious.
The coffee shop has excellent expresso, delicious! The elevator is an old fashioned "lift". Young people running the reception have wonderful, polite personalities! WiFi works well. Rooms have wood floors, nice decor, very clean ! I do like the hotel, and sincerely enjoyed my stay. I actually extended it two additional days! You wouldn't bring young children, I say, because of the lift.
Hotel was beautiful, rooms very clean and staff very helpful

NOT so long ago, this final might have been characterised as ''the Djoker versus the Choker.'' Even as recently as the last Wimbledon final, when he couldn't finish Roger Federer off, Andy Murray was still restrained by the bondage of having never won a grand slam event.
But Murray 2.0 is a free man. He cleared the grand slam hump by beating both his own doubts and Novak Djokovic in New York last September, a victory that might have been made possible by his destruction of bogeyman Federer in the London Olympics final.
Now, he can just play a match, against a contemporary who's almost always been slightly ahead of him. He isn't saddled with the additional weight of bad history.
''Those matches, I mean, have obviously helped mentally,'' Murray said of the US Open-Olympics breakthroughs. ''I think going through a lot of the losses that I've had will have [helped] me as well,'' he added, after his composed semi-final conquest of Federer.
''Yeah, I've been questioned for large parts of my career about physically would I be strong enough, mentally would it be strong enough, do I listen to my coaches, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever it is - can I handle pressure?
''I think all those years of having all of those questions and then finally to be able to answer them I think, yeah, it was all part of the process … obviously, having won against Novak before in slam final will help mentally.''
So, we have Murray unbound, playing for himself - and for mother Britain - without baggage. He can play the opponent, not the occasion.
Murray's mentor, Ivan Lendl, of course, knows all about the impact of finally winning a major. Lendl, too, lost his first four grand slam finals, but once he took the fifth (the 1984 French Open), Lendl developed into a serial winner. He finished with eight grand slam titles from 19 finals and one doubts he would be coaching Murray had he not learnt to breathe easily in these defining matches. Ivan and Andy was a match made in shared purgatory.
Murray's dismissal of Federer on Friday night was another small step for the man in what has been an incremental journey. It was a misleading score, in that Murray's dominance - on virtually every statistic you can name, except breaks of serve and tie-breakers - would usually translate to a straight-sets victory, or perhaps a clear-cut four-setter.
But twilight Federer still owns some kind of tennis voodoo, or just a knack for winning the key handful of points (as in tie-breakers) and Murray had to respond no less than three times to the old champ's surges.
The Scot also had jittery moments - most notably when serving for the match in the fourth set. What was most impressive and pleasing for the Murray camp was how he responded. ''The beginning of the fifth set was the part of the match that I was most pleased with,'' Murray said.
Psychologically, it might well be better for Murray to have been challenged by a man who'd bested him in their three previous slam meetings (including two finals). The downside is that whereas Djokovic sweated little in his one-hour, 29-minute encounter with the outclassed David Ferrer, Federer's tie-breaker talents forced Murray to spend exactly four hours on the court.
Murray was tired after the match that ended near the midnight hour and said he planned to sleep for as long as possible. ''Realistically, you're probably not going to feel perfect because of how the match went tonight, but it's not to say that you can't recover well to play your best tennis,'' he said.
Murray's semi, though, was played on a cool Melbourne evening and should not have taxed his body too heavily. Over the course of the tournament, he and Djokovic have both played one five-setter each and otherwise not lost a set.
Djokovic rejected the idea that he would have any advantage on Sunday night by dint of having played a day earlier over three sets, rather than five. ''I don't think so. Andy, yes he has played a five-set match against Roger but besides that he hasn't hardly been tested the whole tournament,'' he said.
Murray, he added, was among the fittest and strongest on tour.
The year of 2012 might be seen in hindsight as Murray's version of Djokovic's breakout 2011, when he turned his solitary slam into four and displaced Federer and Rafael Nadal at the summit. As peers who rose from junior ranks in unison, Murray and Djokovic are destined to be bracketed and compared, as Pete Sampras and Andre Agassi and Stefan Edberg and Boris Becker were (Federer is really a different generation to the younger Nadal).
''It's special because we are the same age, only a week apart,'' Djokovic said of he and Murray, who had known one another since they were 11 or 12.
Murray, as the player who played the slightly more complex and aggressive game, was perhaps 12 months behind Djokovic in tennis terms.
Separated by a week, but not by one man's weaker belief, they meet as true peers on Sunday. Federer reckoned Djokovic should be favoured. Agassi, who will present the trophy, also gave the advantage to the Djoker, who has established Rod Laver Arena as his own turf (three titles and counting) in much the same way that Agassi (four titles) did.
Murray wanted a match filled with pain. Djokovic anticipated a long match similar to the US Open final, with plenty of lengthy rallies. ''I'm ready for that.''
So, British folk, prepare yourselves for a match worthy of Churchill's famed wartime warning. ''It will be long, it will be hard and there will be no withdrawal.''

Cody Holcombe Photography Thank you Frank and Peter for your very kind comments.
Peter Skov I enjoyed previewing your book. There are a great number of exquisitely captured views. I was pleased to view the whole book too. Too many attractive books only have 15 pages for preview. You have put together a handsome piece of work.
Frank King With "Landscapes", Cody Holcombe shows he not only knows his way around a camera, he also has a keen eye for composition and an intuitive understanding of light - qualities sometimes lacking in folks who think a good camera and a nice scene automatically make for great pictures. Cody is definitely not one of those people.

Lady Flames Suffer First Big South Loss of Season; Fall to Winthrop
Winthrop opened the day by taking all three doubles matches, including two matches decided by two points or less. In singles competition, Liberty captured a win at No. 1 singles, when Winthrop senior Ana Paula Novaes was forced to retire. The win was Jonita Randolph's ninth victory of the season. The Townville, S.C. native, Liberty's all-time leader in victories, needs two more wins to become the first Liberty tennis player to win 50 career matches.
Despite the retirement of Novaes, the Lady Eagles rallied to take the remaining singles matches and wrap up their victory.
With the loss, Liberty drops to 4-6 on the season and 2-1 in the Big South. The Lady Flames resume play on March 25, when they return home to the Esbenshade-Hershey tennis courts to take on James Madison. Match time is scheduled for 1 p.m.
1. Ana Paula Novaes/Paula Pereira (WU) def. Jonita Randolph/Martyna Hanusz (LU) – 8-7
2. Antoniya Bagaric/Patricia Coimbra (WU) def. Ekaterina Kuznetsova/Kathy Waldthausen (LU) – 8-6
3. Larisa Bekmetova/Yelina Fedina (WU) def. Daniela Dimas/Livia Branco (LU) – 8-1
1. Jonita Randolph (LU) def. Ana Paula Novaes (WU) – 5-7, 2-3, retired
2. Patricia Coimbra (WU) def. Ekaterina Kuznetsova (LU) – 6-0, 6-3
3. Antoniya Bagaric (WU) def. Kathy Waldthausen (LU) – 6-1, 6-4
4. Yelina Fadina (WU) def. Daniela Dimas (LU) – 6-1, 6-1
5. Larisa Bekmetova (WU) def. Martyna Hanusz (LU) – 6-0, 6-1
6. Paula Pereira (WU) def. Livia Branco (LU) – 6-0, 6-1

The 49ers improved to 9-3-1 and still keep distance ahead of Seattle and the No.2 seed. However if the offense doesn't get together and be more consistent, it will be hard to keep that No.2 spot, let alone win the West.
Colin Kaepernick finished the day 18 of 23 for 183 and no touchdowns or interceptions. It was very Alexesque, that is until he scored a touchdown on a 50 yard run.
The play calling still seemed questionable and the defense didn't play that well, but when they needed to they stepped up.
Frank Gore finished the day with 63 yards, which helped him pass the 1000 yard mark for the 6th time in his career. He scored a TD, which tied him with Roger Craig and Joe Perry for all time rushing touchdowns at 50.
On the defensive side of the ball Aldon Smith recorded two sacks, which puts him at 19.5 on the season. He is now the 49ers single season sack holder and only 3.5 away from breaking Michael Strahan's sack record of 22.5.
The 49ers travel to New England next weekend for a Sunday Night game. The offense needs to tighten up and stay consistent in order to walk away with the W.

Heading into flood stage on the Clark Fork and elsewhere, it's easy to just assume that you know how to swim or properly inspect your boat. But as a trained journalist I warn you: assumptions lead to lawsuits, and possibly death. Mostly the latter in this case, but the U.S. Coast Guard is doing you a favor this time, buddy. In response to 17 water-safety fatalities in the past five years, the reestablished USCG Auxiliary Missoula Detachment (a mouthful, I know) is hitting boating's opening day with a vengeance. And by "vengeance" I mean "education." Knowing your boat is safe and legal before you hit the water will bring Poseidon's praise, and people won't get hurt by your recklessness. Moreover, you won't be hurting yourself, as the Coasties will also be promoting life jackets all day. So promoting, in fact, that you might see people around town wearing them as part of their awareness initiative. It's hip to be surrounded by an inflatable square, after all.
Head to Gull Boats and RV at 2601 W. Broadway Saturday, May 19, from 10 AM to 4 PM with your boat or an open mind to learn about state and U.S. Coast Guard regulations for watercraft. They'll be giving free inspections and decals to those that pass. They're also encouraging everyone in Missoula to wear their life jacket around town all day Saturday. Call Chris at 549-3090 for more information.

- Description
Original Item: This is the original 32 round capacity magazine issued with for the Yugoslavian Clone of the WW2 MP 40. Designed to use 7.62mm x 25mm Tokarev pistol ammunition that made this model far more hard-hitting than it's WWII ancestor. Curved 32 round magazine, heavily blued and covered in original grease.
The M56 submachine gun is a Yugoslavian submachine gun chambered in 7.62 x 25 mm Tokarev, designed for use with the Yugoslav People's Army. Initially a state-funded product, it was later produced by Zastava Arms and saw use in a number of conflicts following the breakup of former Yugoslavia. The M56 is a clone of the MP 40 submachine gun used by Nazi Germany, easily distinguished from the MP 40 by its increased length and curved magazine.[1]
While inexpensive to produce and easy to maintain, the M56 also proved to be quite effective at range over its German counterpart; its 7.62 mm cartridge providing significantly more penetration over the 9 x 19 mm round found in the MP 40, although lacking the same stopping power.

Found this interesting recipe from Translyvania. Sounds delicious!
Top Review by breezermom
I love a good bloody mary, so I thought I'd try this. Basically it is a really strong bloody mary that is a little weak on the tomato flavor and very strong in the vodka flavor! A good sipping drink...a little bit goes a long way. It is very potent, so beware. I made this for Newest Zaar Tag.

Roberts Gives Strong Effort as Aeros Capture 7-4 Win
By David Wilson / Akron Aeros | July 27, 2013 6:12 PM ET
Akron, OH - Will Roberts and the rest of the Akron Aeros clearly came out ready to play on Saturday night against the Richmond Flying Squirrels.
Roberts picked up his seventh win with a stellar effort over 7 1/3 innings, and the Aeros backed him up with seven early runs in a 7-4 victory over the Squirrels at Canal Park.
The Aeros (53-54) have won two of the first three games of the series with the wrap-up to come on Sunday afternoon at 2:05. The Aeros remained 6 ½ games behind first-place Harrisburg, who defeated Portland Saturday, but gained a half-game on second-place Erie, who was rained out at home against Bowie. The Aeros are just three games out of the second-place wild-card spot.
The game quickly swung Akron's way when the Aeros scored four runs in the second inning against Richmond starter Craig Westcott (4-10). Jake Lowery had the big hit among the Aeros five hits in the inning when he stroked a two-run single to right. Matt Lawson added a sacrifice fly, and Francisco Lindor an RBI single, as the Aeros jumped to a 4-0 lead.
They made it 7-0 with three more in the fourth. Lowery led off with a triple, and Lawson, Ronny Rodriguez, and Cedric Hunter all chipped in RBI singles.
Roberts (7-7) became the first Aeros starter to record an out in the eighth inning, as he worked a team-high 7 1/3 innings. After throwing shutout baseball with no walks and four strikeouts for the first seven innings, he gave up a hit and walk to start the eighth. He induced a fielder's choice grounder before being lifted in favor of righthander Austin Adams.
Both inherited runners scored against Adams, plus two more to make it 7-4. Javier Herrera belted a two-run double to breathe life back into the Richmond dugout.
Akron called on Jose Flores to pitch the ninth. Making his league-high 44th appearance, Flores retired the side in order, fanning the final two batters to record his 11th save in 12 chances.
Every Areos batter had at least one hit in the 11-hit attack. The Aeros also displayed airtight defense in the game, Lindor and Ridriguez each took hits away up the middle, and third baseman Giovanny Urshela made a terrific play on a slow bouncer at third in the seventh, nipping Adrew Susac at first base
The Aeros and Squirrels (49-58) will meet in the final game of the series on Sunday afternoon at 2:05. LHP Edwin Escobar (1-2, 4.32) will make the start for Richmond, while RHP Paolo Espino (2-4, 6.03) is the expected starter for Akron. The game will be broadcast live on Fox Sports 1350 AM, and online at www.sportsradio1350.com. For more information, please call the Aeros at 330-253-5151. Follow the team on Twitter @akronaeros or on Facebook at facebook.com/theakronaeros.
