Republican U.S. Rep. Paul Broun, who represents much of the Athens area in Congress and is now vying for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Republican Saxby Chambliss, has spent some of his taxpayer-funded office allowance with a firm that advertises itself as offering campaign and debate coaching services, according to a report on Atlanta television station WSB.
According to work done by WSB reporter Justin Gray, records of expenditures from Broun's office allowance show that $33,000 from the taxpayer-funded account have been paid to O'Donnell and Associates.
The WSB-TV report shows Broun ducking a question from Gray as Broun enters his congressional office. Following that encounter, Broun's office issued a statement that, according to the WSB report, identified O'Donnell as a contract member of his staff who "provides training with public speaking, on-camera interviews, and media appearances so that Dr. Broun can best communicate his legislative priorities, issues, and message with his constituents."

Don't Be Lulled By Cheaper Gas
Retail gasoline prices in the U.S. fell for the sixth straight week in mid-November, dipping below $2.30 a gallon nationally for the first time since August. Under normal circumstances, such a steep decline in the cost of a vital commodity (down roughly 25% since September's peak) would be cause for celebration. Not now.
Indeed, hurricane season is almost over, but some key factors that contributed to America's recent sky-high energy prices -- a lack of resolve about conservation, inadequate refining capacity, and fast-growing power demand in China and India -- are still very much with us. So there's considerable danger that the current pricing respite could wrongly encourage U.S. consumers to revive spending on gas-guzzling sport-utility vehicles, turn up their thermostats a few degrees, and party like it's 1999.
That would be a big mistake, because those not-so-distant days of seemingly abundant energy at relatively cheap prices (in late 1999, gasoline was $1.28 a gallon) probably aren't coming back. There may be enough energy available to meet global needs for the next quarter-century, but we'll certainly have to pay up. In fact, the International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts energy-producing nations will need to invest about $17 trillion over the next 25 years to meet a projected 50% jump in worldwide energy demand during that period. Since half that spending would be in developing countries, it's anybody's guess if all the needed investment will occur. If oil-exporting nations (consciously or unconsciously) underinvest in new capacity, shortages could send oil prices soaring. And because energy costs serve as a sort of tax on almost every commercial transaction, global growth likely would suffer as well.
But even if all that investment is made, we still might not like the consequences: The IEA predicts the share of global oil output from the volatile Mideast and North Africa would grow to 44% from about 35% today, because that's where the greatest opportunities to increase production lie. So much for "energy independence" for the U.S. and developed nations.
That's why policymakers and business must act while concern about energy security remains high enough to rally opinion behind meaningful conservation efforts (it's not just about buying a hybrid Prius, folks) or the need to allow new refineries to be built in someone's backyard, and the economy is strong enough to provide business with adequate capital to spend on energy-saving manufacturing processes and investment in alternative energy sources.
Such changes don't happen quickly. It took the federal government six years to reach the current level of generating 2.5% of its electric power from renewable sources like wind, solar, and biomass. (That's enough to power a city the size of El Paso for a year.) But the goal the feds announced this month to triple government's use of renewable sources by 2013 should be a wake-up call to private industry and average consumers that we must get serious about reducing our reliance on oil (much of it foreign) if "energy independence" is to be anything more than a flashy political catchphrase.
That's why it's best not to think of this year's high late-summer energy prices as the product of a short-term supply blip exacerbated by two freak hurricanes off the Gulf Coast. Instead, we should soberly remember those long, expensive months as a warning of what life could be like if we don't get serious about our energy future.

Hi Guys
The default return type for CMBase.php is an array. I noticed an issue with the contents of this array as it was translated by the CMBase object from XML to array, which the CM guys are looking into.
Anyways....I much prefer to work with the XML myself in my PHP code, and if you do too, you can make a couple of quick changes to CMBase.php to let you do this:
1. In function make_call, give $res and XML option:
// JOC added xml method to get round xml2array problem with CustomFields
else if ($this->method = "xml") {
return $res;
This code goes inside the 'if ($res)' block at the bottom of the function make_call.
2. In your PHP scripts, call your CMBase constructor with a last parameter for method of 'xml'
Now things come back in the API's native XML format.
The real benefit of this is that you can then use PHP's SimpleXMLElement object to use API objects really easily.
For starters, I created a proper CMList and Subscriber object that allows access to all subscriber properties using
$mysubscriber->name_of_my_custom_field syntax
They also let you iterate through lists, and count list numbers by simple access to the list object.
If anyone's interested in this I'll post the code.

Despite his tweet which suggests that he had a great time with the film's team, Brian Bendis says he has nothing to do with the 'Spider-Man' film which is directed by Marc Webb.
Brian Bendis has dismissed speculation regarding him consulting on the next "Spider-Man" film. The writer of "Ultimate Spider-Man" has, through his Twitter, posted a link which is directed to a statement mentioning that he is not hired to write the untitled Spider-Man reboot.
"i see quite a few web sites completely making stuff up that i never said or hinted at. i did not say i was now the writer of the movie. the movie has a writer and a damn good one," he wrote on Friday, February 19. "all i said was i had an interesting morning over there in spidey land. and i did!!"
"speculation is all fun and good, rumor? sure, but there's a difference between that and completely making stuff up. on a slow nerd news day, i could almost understand it, but you had all this weird dc news to make stuff up about."
A day earlier, Bendis sparked rumor that he lends his brain for the script of "Spider-Man" reboot after announcing that he had a meeting with the film's team. "Just spent a very interesting morning at Sony with the entire spidey movie team!! Very very cool stuff!!" so he tweeted back on Thursday, February 18.
Sony Pictures announced their plan to make "Spider-Man" reboot in January after they scrapped "Spider-Man 4". The new project that will focus on Peter Parker's roots is produced by Columbia, Marvel Studios, Avi Arad and Laura Ziskin.
Later, the studio pointed Marc Webb to serve behind the camera for the movie, which is planned to take principal photography in late this year. This remake film will be made in 3-D and gets July 3, 2012 release date in the U.S.

AX-ASC: The installation of the AX-BNM-T3/B or the AX-BNM-E3/B require that the ASC have minimum firmware versions.
AX-BNM-T3/B AX-BNM-E3/B assemblies with Xilinx? XC4005E and XC4003E Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) work only with Firmware Releases 3.0.10 (or later) and 4.0.10 (or later). They are not being released to work with Firmware Release 2.x.x.
Xilinx?, an FPGA manufacturer, introduced new, higher, density fabrication methods which reduced the minimum circuit traces from .65 microns to .5 microns. This reduction in the trace size, known as "die-shrink," resulted in a higher density and faster FPGA. The increased speed of the new Xilinx? FPGAs required a change in the internal clocking within the AX-BNM-E3/B and the AX-BNM-T3/B as well as the AX-ASC as compared to the AX-BNM-E3 and the AX-BNM-T3. The needed clocking change was accomplished with a new firmware for the AX-ASC.
Upgrade AX-ASC firmware to version 3.0.10 or later or version 4.0.10 or later.
RCN Number
AXIS:BNM-T3/E3 B: Change AX-BNM-T3/E3 & AX-BNM-T3=/E3= to AX-BNM-T3/E3 B & AX_BNM-T3=/E3= B

The universe of Parks & Recreation has been rightfully compared to that of The Simpsons—even its most minor characters and plotlines are rife with neverending silliness. And if Glee has taught me anything (it really hasn't), it's that sometimes joy cannot be adequately expressed through mere words, only through song. Enter Adam Warrock, a Parks & Rec fan who self-produced a three-track rap EP with songs about his favorite aspects of the show. Fittingly, Entertainment 720 and Ron Swanson are celebrated with badass lyrics and phat beatz—technically speaking—but the real surprise is his ode to Leslie Knope's 2012 city council bid, drawing parallels to Obama and marrying the rhymes perfectly with John Legend's "Number One." His work is evidence that perhaps Mouse Rat should reinvent itself as a hip-hop outfit.
Thanks to Ben Schwartz (aka @rejectedjokes) for the tip.

Have been using this gloss for a long time now. It has gotten to the point where lipstick just doesn't appeal to me anymore. It keeps my older lips stylish and perky, where lipstick is dull and boring. Makes me feel more complete when I go out.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Yesterday was one of those days that I liken to jumping out of a plane at 20,000 feet and believing that your parachute will open. It started out with my brother, Maduka and I driving around Victoria Island, Lagos, searching for a gym to get a workout in. Yesterday was good friday and many businesses in Lagos were closed. It took nearly an hour for us to find an open gym. After driving around endlessly and wasting a ton of gas, we finally found a gym in Lekki Beach. We paid our day fee and went to work.
Due to the fact that it took so long to find a gym, we ran late to get to our location to shoot the kids in Mushin, Lagos. Mushin is one of the toughest ghettos in Lagos and many people are terrified to go there. Many people's lives flash before their eyes as they drive past Mushin, praying that their car doesn't break down. This is where many of the fighters that have now become my friends, live and train. I wanted to hang out with them, talk to them and find out what they needed done in order to become the best that they can be. I want to shoot these conversations and share them with the world.
When we got to Mushin, the whole neighborhood was waiting for us. It felt like a scene out of a movie. The guys who ordinarily would have given us a hard time were fans of ours. We were going to put their area on the map. We had our "hood pass". These guys would fight to keep us safe because if anything were to happen to us, their stories would not be heard. There was a mob everywhere we went. Everybody waved and chanted "champ" to me as we walked through the sometimes broken down buildings. I felt at home here.
Even though we were running late, instead of being stressed, somehow I knew that it would all work out. It truly did. We got great footage!! As a matter of fact, great doesn't even begin to describe the footage we got. We were given unprecedented access to the boxers' lives and families. They spoke candidly and freely about their plight. They trusted me completely. It was amazing. No one has ever shot footage like this here. I was so happy.
It was a huge day also because I was officially the director. I have been directing the shoot for the entire process of shooting the "Three Rounds" documentary, but yesterday, I chose the shots, set up the shots, and I sometimes worked the camera. It was so cool!! I never thought that I could do it, but just like most things in my life, I learn by the sink-or-swim rule. I continue to grow. We must continue to grow people.

Symptoms of a mini stroke at age 19?
Something strange happened to me earlier today. I asked someone`s opinion and they said that my symptoms matched those of a mini stroke. Although what happened doesn`t seem quite as serious as some of the effects described on this website, I`m still concerned and hoping you could give some advice.
My boss was driving the two of us to lunch earlier today and it was on the way to the restaurant that I noticed something peculiar happening with my vision. Everything suddenly got hazy and out of focus. It wasn`t necessarily the loss of depth perception and ability to focus that had me worried. When I would look at an object I had a very difficult time identifying it. It was nearly impossible for me to distinguish young people from old, and men from women. It felt like part of my brain wasn`t functioning, though I was otherwise completely coherent. I tried looking at the menu, and could only focus on one letter at a time, and so I had to piece the words together letter by letter. When I looked at someone`s face I could focus on one of their eyes or their nose, but I couldn`t look at their face in its entirety, and thus had a hard time recognizing people.
It may sound crazy, but it was very frightening. I`m thankful that it only lasted about thirty minutes. I`m only nineteen years old and in good shape, so I`m not sure what it could have been.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
It is not possible to say with certainty what happened to you. The list of possibilities from a neurologist's perspective is fairly short, and would include a transient ischemic attack (TIA), seizure, migraine headache or equivalent (migraine like symptoms/aura without a following headache), or non-neurological problems (such as a problem with the eye/eyes, panic attack, etc.). I would suggest that you see a physician about this urgently (like today). It may turn out to be nothing of importance, but you would not want to miss something important.

MARGARET WARNER: For more, we turn to Kevin Sieff, The Washington Post bureau chief in Kabul.
And, Kevin, welcome. Thanks for joining us.
Let's start with today's suicide attacks. What are U.S. officials, military commanders on the ground telling you about, one, are they related and, two, who they think is behind them?
KEVIN SIEFF, The Washington Post: Right.
As far as we know at this point, they're unrelated attacks, although most officials will tell you that they were both executed by the insurgency.
We don't exactly know which arm of the insurgency. No one at this point has taken credit for the attacks. But the one in the south is by far at this point the most deadly.
MARGARET WARNER: How concerned are they about this uptick in attacks? I think we reported up 11 percent in the second quarter this year over last year.
KEVIN SIEFF: Yes, I think there is concern particularly in a place like Nimroz, where it's been quiet for a long time.
The Marines for the most part have pulled out, have drawn down their presence quite significantly. So, I think an attack there is quite concerning to them. You know, they will tell you that 2014 is still a ways away. And, you know, the U.S. and NATO troops will be here for quite some time.
So, the fight against the insurgents is not over yet, but still, in a place like Zaranj, there's no NATO presence whatsoever there. So, an attack this big at this stage in the war I think is concerning both to NATO and obviously to the Afghans, who are living this.
MARGARET WARNER: Now, there's the other worrying trend which is the increase in so-called green-on-blue attacks, or Afghan soldiers on American forces. How concerned are commanders on the ground about that? We heard Defense Secretary Leon Panetta saying he was very. And what do they think is behind it?
KEVIN SIEFF: Right.
I think there are a range of issues that spark these attacks. You know, a number of them are sparked by personal disputes, where there's no real insurgent presence.
But some of them, particularly some of the recent attacks, are executed by Taliban or insurgent plants who manage to infiltrate the security forces. And they go through training, they put on Afghan uniforms, and they wait for the right moment.
The two attacks in Helmand last week were particularly concerning. Three Marines died in each attack, so six total. And I think, particularly in Helmand, where you're seeing a significant drawdown now, which means that the Marines that are on the grounds are forced to have sort of a more intimate relationship with their Afghan counterparts, small American advisory teams that are attached to the Afghan forces, so that relationship is really important at this point.
And when that sort of — when the relationship is challenged by something like this, it's a really devastating blow at a really important time in the drawdown.
MARGARET WARNER: Then let me ask you about the shuffle at the top in the Karzai government, the defense and interior ministers being dismissed by parliament. What's behind that?
KEVIN SIEFF: Right.
Well, you know, the vote was taken by parliament, and the lawmakers here accused these two very important ministers, maybe the two most important ministers in Afghanistan, of being corrupt, and not taking sort of appropriate action against — in the case of the defense minister, against the rocket attacks from across the border in Pakistan.
But the biggest issue that they were concerned about was this issue of corruption. And it happened very quickly. Karzai within a couple of days acknowledged that, you know, the parliament had made its decision and agreed that these men would both be removed.
It certainly doesn't say much about public confidence in key Afghan officials, at a really — again, at a really important time.
These are two guys who have historically been really strong American allies, particularly Minister Wardak, who has been the defense minister since 2004, has played a really instrumental role in building up the Afghan national security forces.
But these accusations of corruption have haunted his tenure essentially since he got here. So, you know, American officials are quick to say that this is certainly — you know, it gives you a sense of Afghan democracy in action, but at the same time we don't know who will replace these guys and if they will be sort of as willing as these guys were to work with the Americans during a really important time.
MARGARET WARNER: Let me ask you about one other development we hear about out of Afghanistan, which is the government "revealed" — quote, unquote — this week that they had talked with a senior, what, former Taliban leader. Is there anything to this talk of renewed negotiations or peace talks?
KEVIN SIEFF: Right.
It's very early in the game at this point, so it's hard to say for sure. I mean, certainly, both the Afghans and the Americans here will tell you that they're confident that this sort of — this chapter and talks with the Taliban will be more successful than the last. The last was essentially a failure. Very, very little happened.
The Afghans mostly blamed the Americans for not giving them sort of the proper role at the negotiating table. So this time, the Americans are very adamant that the Afghans take the lead in a real way.
So what we're seeing now is mostly that. It's the Afghans meeting with key Taliban officials in Pakistan and most likely in other places as well, and trying to get these negotiations off the ground. The question, though, is what sort of bargaining power do they really have at this point?
I mean, the last chapter of negotiations really hinged on these prisoners at Guantanamo. And if the Americans were willing to release these prisoners, the Taliban said that that would sort of be a foundation for negotiations.
If that's not a part of the puzzle here, if the Americans are unwilling to release those prisoners, and this is really sort of an Afghan-led negotiation without that American involvement, it's unclear really how quickly this will move or really, you know, how far it can go.
MARGARET WARNER: Well, Kevin Sieff of The Washington Post in Kabul, thank you so much.

Dating Drama: What's The Best Time For Sexytime?
Wake me up at the crack of dawn looking for sex, and I'm likely to ignore you, or yell at you — and not in a dominatrix type of way. To put it mildly, I'm not a morning person — or, rather, I'm up for "morning sex," if 11:59 a.m. counts as "morning." But others have different ideas on the matter, so I asked my friends what time of the day equals sexytime for them.Photographer The Lovely Brenda says she'll do it anytime, but the morning is her favorite: "I love to wake up next to Aaron and his raging c***, as the warm sunlight pours through the wooden blinds. To climb on top, feel him between my legs, and stick my nose between his beard, ear, and pillow, so that I can smell and hear him in my left ear drives me wild. It leaves me with thoughts that I can jerk off to for the rest of the day when I'm alone at home, working at my computer while he's away."
Searah Deysach, owner of Chicago sex toy store Early to Bed, prefers the middle of the day. "Sex in the late afternoon is always my first choice. In the morning I just need to get out of the house as soon as possible and at night I'm often too tired. In the afternoon you don't have to worry about waking the neighbors, and you don't have to turn on any lights but can still see all you need and want to. Plus, I always get a burst of energy after, so it's good to have time to make use of that."
Graphic designer Sinclair likes to get it on at night. "Getting off is such a nightcap for me, for some reason. Something about the ritual of getting undressed and getting in bed anyway makes it a perfect excuse. And I sleep better after an orgasm or two."
In Alison Tyler's erotica anthology Afternoon Delight, each story focuses on a specific time of day when characters get busy, making for round the clock screwing. Taylor says that "every hour is worth trying," but afternoons are her favorite time for f***ing. "They revamp my whole attitude for the day. I'm also partial to fucking right before we go out so that we have a little bit of a secret nobody else knows. That is, until we tell them what put the flush on my cheeks and the spark in Sam's eyes."
I don't have a preference for morning, afternoon, or night sex. In recent years, it's been about taking what I can get, rather than being picky about when it happens. Sex before work can feel rushed. Afternoons are out for me — unless you count text flirting and dropping naughty hints via email. But on weekends I like lounging in bed for as long as possible. Some weekday nights I'll get a second wind — if there's a good enough reason.
More often than not, the best sex isn't planned — it's spontaneous. When do you think is the best time for sexytime?

Irrelevant Hiring Criteria.by Miki Saxon
Over the years hundreds of bosses have explained to me why top colleges and high GPAs were critical to hiring the best people.
They explained why hiring only from top schools assured top candidates.
They enlightened me as to the importance of high GPAs in their hiring decisions.
What they never did was convince me.
They blustered when I told them neither had much value when evaluating candidates.
And they got downright irate when I added that whatever value they did have dropped 20% a year, since much (most?) of what they learned was rendered irrelevant in the next five years.
Actually, the value probably drops faster now, since the world has sped up a lot since I said that.
If you find yourself disputing this and still putting your faith in 'brand-name' schools and high GPAs I suggest you pay close attention to Harvard's grade inflation.
"It's really indefensible," Harvey C. Mansfield, a faculty member for more than five decades, said in a telephone interview. (…) "I thought the most prevalent grade was an A-minus, which is bad enough," when I asked the question [about the most frequently given grade], it was worse."
But even Mansfield goes along with it.
Mansfield described how, in recent years, he himself has taken to giving students two grades: one that shows up on their transcript and one he believes they actually deserve.
"I didn't want my students to be punished by being the only ones to suffer for getting an accurate grade," he said, adding that administrators must take the lead in curbing the trend.
While I agree grade inflation isn't limited to Harvard, I'm willing to bet it's more prevalent at brand-name schools.
Hopefully, the next time you find yourself dazzled by a combination of school and GPA, you'll remember Professor Mansfield and take both with a pound or two of salt.

A better practice than splitting the backup into several weekdays is to do the part which is beyond the tape capacity internally with the BACKUP Command. So all data is saved at the same time which is certainly an advantage for a reload. Allyou have to do every morning is store the backup tape away and copy the internal backup library manually onto as many tapes as required. Of course you need enough disk space for the nightly internal backup. ]]>

Tiny Lesotho votes tomorrow in the most hotly contested election since Prime Minister Pakalitha Mosisili came to power in a 1998 vote that sparked rioting and a South African military intervention.
After 14 years in power, Mosisili has established himself as a towering figure in this mountainous kingdom, bordered on all sides by SA.
He has stayed in power through elections consistently endorsed by observers, even though Lesotho's political disputes sometimes erupt in violence.
Mosisili survived a 2009 military-style assault on his official residence that left four people dead. Eight people are standing trial, and the precise motives remain unclear.
But signs of discontent with his rule are everywhere.
A Gallup poll released last month ranked Mosisili among Africa's five most despised leaders, with only 39 percent of those surveyed approving of his job performance – placing him alongside the likes of Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe.
"There is an atmosphere of change, but it is predominantly in the urban centres, which are in the minority in terms of the way our constituencies are demarcated," said Hoolo Nyane, director of the Transformation Resource Centre, a leading civil society group.
Within the Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD), which Mosisili brought to power in 1998, efforts to push him from the top spot provoked a dramatic split in February as he resigned from the party and launched his own Democratic Congress, taking most parliamentarians with him.
Now the LCD is led by former communications minister Mothejoa Metsing, who led the movement to remove Mosisili as party leader.
The party's leadership conference planned for January was cancelled at the last minute amid fears that the dispute could turn violent.
The two rivals are running in a three-horse race with the opposition All Basotho Convention and its leader Tom Thabane.
"It is an interesting scenario," said Nyane. "Unfortunately our election has always been about personality cults and patronage.
There are some issues that are trying to find a stage in our politics – for example the question of our relationship with South Africa and the question of youth unemployment are moving slowly to the centre. But they are not going to determine how the voting goes. Voting is going to go according to personality cults, geographical area, etc."
Mosisili is a master of manipulating Lesotho's politics. He rose to power after splitting with the former ruling Basotho Congress Party, the country's first democratically elected government. Although observers backed his election to power, opposition protests turned so violent that SA led a regional military intervention to restore order. Tomorrow's vote is widely seen as a toss-up in one of the most fiercely fought campaigns since independence from Britain in 1966.

Been feeding this food to my old cat for over 6yrs. Very economical, a 4kg bag lasts around 6 months! She's a timid cat so she uses a litter tray and because of the quality of ingredients there is no smell when she does a poo which is the deal breaker for me!
I have been using this product for a couple of years now for out 13 year old cat and he is healthy and seems to like the food. What more can I say!

John 14 and the Rapture of the Church
3 comments:
I know this all runs contrary to most evangelical church's teaching, but I believe you are spot on, brother!ReplyDelete
My personal view is that the whole text is a call to us to examine ourselves daily and to always be ready for the possibility that today we may be called to give a defense of our faith. I recently was sent a link to a video on a website that showed a young man in Pakistan being beheaded with a knife because he had converted to Christianity and then refused to deny his faith in Christ when confronted by the Taliban. Tribulation is a part of being a Christian in other parts of the world and Christians in America who are offended at the suggestion that they might also see persecution are, I think, going to have a hard time standing firm if that persecution does come.ReplyDelete
I believe anyone who seeks to prove "Church age" doctrine by going to the 4 gospels or even Acts, is going to run into problems and doctrinal error. Paul called the teachings on what we call the rapture, a "Mystery". In other words, something not previously revealed. As far as John 14 is concerned, it is true that where Jesus is, we will be with Him. He mentions His "Father's house" and and it is there that He is preparing a "Place" for us. It seems obvious by this context that it is a different place from where they were then abiding, since He had to "go" there to prepare the place. When he "receives" us unto Himself, it indicates the place He is going, not the earth which He is leaving.ReplyDelete

Obtrusive AIM Triton Ads
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Internet, Software
Hey AOL, what are you thinking? I guess we should have known that when we saw AOL was working on putting some nice features into the next version of its Instant Messenger software, Triton, that it would mean even more annoying advertising in the product. I mean, take a look at the above - the ad is directly in the text chat area. Tabbed chatting isn't worth this, AOL. This is why you continue to become obsolete on the Internet.

SUPPOSEDLY, truth is the first casualty of war. Although Archduke Ferdinand's friends and family might have had something to say about that. However, if propaganda, subterfuge and misinformation is considered an unfortunate consequence of genuine life and death struggles, the phony wars waged through the media during State of Origin provide welcome comedic relief from the earnest prognostications of the po-faced protagonists.
Sadly, with the Blues' best, but not necessarily brightest, subject to ritual humiliation during the past five years, Origin has been about as much fun as a Presbyterian wake.
Queenslanders have been typically boisterous and parochial. But the Sydneysiders, particularly, have adopted their customary position of ''strategic retreat'' in the face of sporting defeat. Block your ears to the white noise north of the Tweed, take out the boat or rotate the tyres on the V8 and, in extreme cases, cast a sneaky sideways glance at the Waratahs, the FC or even the Swans.
This time, however, Origin is deadly serious. A compelling contest between apparent equals. Which means, as the deeply rooted suspicion and paranoia among the competing administrators, coaches, players, fans and media cheerleaders is unleashed, Origin is hilarious.
Naturally, nowhere have more ribs been tickled than at the NRL judiciary, which has produced a double bill worthy of the Edinburgh comedy festival.
South of the border: It was agreed Queensland star Johnathan Thurston deserved nothing less than the death penalty for his cowardly, premeditated attack on a referee. Referees were brave and honourable men who required protection from such brutal thuggery. The very same referees, incidentally, who had been blamed for everything short of global warming in previous seasons.
North of the border: The pending decision to hang, draw and quarter Thurston would be the final proof that footballing justice was routinely perverted by the Blues' stranglehold on the judiciary.
Of course, when Thurston was cleared, the apology section of the Brisbane Bugle remained mysteriously empty. When David Taylor was banned, justifiably, the same conspiracy theories were recycled. And Ricky Gervais makes you laugh!
South of the border: It was ''revealed'' that Mal Meninga was not the real coach of Queensland. Big Mal was nothing more than a managerial Thunderbird and Michael Hagan pulled the strings.
North of the border: In a voice that betrayed he cared, Mal said he did not care he had been called a ''figurehead''. Although, given five years of Queensland domination, did it really matter if Hagan, Andrew Symonds or Bindi Irwin had written the play book?
South of the border: Phil Gould tried to heighten the feeling of anti-Queensland paranoia expertly cultivated by coach Ricky Stuart by suggesting Queenslanders ''can't be trusted'' and would sabotage the Blues' preparation for Origin III.
Road blocks, the sudden unavailability of training venues, hand grenades lobbed into the foyer of the team hotel. These canetoads were lower the Seven Dwarfs' breakfast bar.
North of the border: The Brisbane Bugle returned serve with a clean winner: ''Tears of a Clown. Whingeing Gus says Queenslanders 'can't be trusted' to be nice to Blues.'' Although, naturally, the Bugle gave no guarantee Queenslanders could be trusted. Or would play nice.
South of the border: While heavily stacked with NSW supporters, and clearly excited by the Blues' victory in game II, the Nine commentators have also been eager to follow another Stuart rule - Queensland should, at all times, be referred to in reverential terms.
Thus, Gould's famous line when the Maroons scored the matchwinner in Origin I: ''Thurston to Lockyer and back to Slater!'' Gould could not have been any more reverential if the combination had been: ''Jesus to Mohammed and back to Vishnu!''
North of the border: The Bugle named and shamed biased NSW commentators whose cheerleading had caused great to distress to the good folk of Queensland. These good, honest, down-to-earth folk wanted nothing more than the commentary on their electric picture boxes to be fair and balanced. Although, obviously, not ''fair and balanced'' in the way their own support for the Maroons is.
South of the border: Aware of the sentiment that Darren Lockyer's final Origin game would create, Stuart steeled his team for the sort of onslaught he and his teammates had encountered during Wally Lewis's emotional final game in 1991. Most pertinently, referees who could not see foul tactics perpetrated by the evil Queenslanders because of the tears in their eyes.
North of the border: A somewhat bemused Lewis recalled he had only announced his retirement 10 minutes before the game and, if there was a wave of emotion, it was the type you would find in the bath tub, not a tsunami.
And so the truth lies in a pool of its own blood. Funny game, Origin.

By Washington Post writer Karen DeYoung
The Obama administration has sharply warned Pakistan that it must cut ties with a leading Taliban group based in the tribal region along the Afghan border and help eliminate its leaders, according to officials from both countries.
In what amounts to an ultimatum, administration officials have indicated that the United States will act unilaterally if Pakistan does not comply.
The message, delivered in high-level meetings and public statements over the past several days, reflects the belief of a growing number of senior administration officials that a years-long strategy of using persuasion and military assistance to influence Pakistani behavior has been ineffective.
White House officials and Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta are said to be adamant in their determination to change the approach, according to officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity about internal administration deliberations.
Although he declined to provide details, Panetta told reporters at the Pentagon on Tuesday that "we are going to take whatever steps are necessary to protect our forces" in Afghanistan from attacks by the Haqqani network, which has had a long relationship with Pakistan's intelligence service.
Pakistan hits back at Panetta's criticism
"We've continued to state that this cannot happen," Panetta said of the Haqqani network strikes, including a Sept. 13 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.
As Panetta spoke, new CIA Director David H. Petraeus was holding an unpublicized private meeting in Washington with his Pakistani counterpart, Lt. Gen. Ahmed Shuja Pasha. Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who met with Pakistan's army chief in Madrid on Friday, said that the "proxy connection" between Pakistani intelligence and the Haqqani network was the focus of those discussions.
Analysis: Why al Qaeda is still a threat in Afghanistan
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is among a minority of administration officials still willing to express public sympathy for Pakistan's weak civilian leaders as they face a growing threat from domestic terrorism and the politically powerful military.
But during a 3½ hour meeting in New York on Sunday with her Pakistani counterpart, she warned that Pakistan is fast losing friends in Washington, according to one official deeply familiar with the session.
Clinton left the meeting with Pakistan's assurance that "they recognize that these people are threats to Pakistan as well, and that no one should think that their relationship with the Haqqanis was more important than their relationship with the United States," a senior administration official said.
But another administration official emphasized the severity of the U.S. officials' warning. "We are expressing the firm conviction that things have to change ...in Miranshah and in Islamabad, as well," this official said. Miranshah is the main population center in Pakistan's North Waziristan region, where the Haqqani leadership is based. CIA drone attacks elsewhere in the region have avoided the city for fear of civilian casualties.
"It's a reality that they're not living in tents in the open," the official acknowledged. But with Pakistani cooperation, "we know that there are ways to get at extremist leaders anywhere," the official said, citing the past capture of senior al Qaeda leaders during joint intelligence operations in the far larger cities of Karachi and Quetta.

Thanksgiving is one of the few holidays dedicated solely to the simple concept of recognizing our blessings. Since it is sandwiched smack in the middle of what has become a veritable holiday frenzy beginning with Halloween and continuing through Election Day, Veterans Day, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa and New Year's Day, it often gets short shrift.
Still, the grocery stores are not about to let us forget that Turkey Day is coming -- earlier than ever this year -- and that this holiday more than just about any other is all about the food.
Charitable organizations, hoping to cash in on grateful hearts that seem particularly touched at this time of year, remind the public that some families will have a hard time putting the traditional Thanksgiving dinner on the table. And those of us lucky enough to spend the holiday with family are busily preparing for travel or the influx of house guests.
Besides that, Thanksgiving can sometimes get lost in the shuffle. Every year, more and more stores announce they will be opening in the evening of Thanksgiving for early holiday shopping. There hardly will be time to clean up the kitchen and fix that turkey sandwich for late-night snacking before dashing out the door with credit cards in hand.
So maybe the answer to a proper observance of Thanksgiving is not so much about the meal, or even the gathering of family and friends, but the simple concept of giving thanks, whether that comes in the form of prayer or just an acknowledgment of blessings neither earned nor deserved but still received.
A series of events this week brought to mind the value of reflecting on the little things, serendipitous moments that stir the soul and gladden the heart. One was a breakfast gathering at a friend's home. It involved a group of women who've been gathering monthly-ish for six or seven years. Life does get in the way so sometimes we go several months without getting together. But then the original organizer, who has remained faithful to her task through the years, will send out an email and as many as can will magically appear in time for coffee and conversation.
This week's gathering seemed to have a special quality to it. One friend is moving out of state and hoping to embark on a life on the road, another is beginning a several-month sojourn aboard her boat, sailing along the Mexican coast, and still another is leaving soon on a long-planned trip to Hawaii. We talked about grandchildren and touched on the trials that seem to enter all of our lives at one time or another. In the realization that it may be awhile before we are together again, we seemed to linger on our laughter a bit longer this time.
As the first of our group left for an appointment, she playfully suggested that she should have my red purse that would match her shoes perfectly. When I began to empty the purse of its contents, too numerous to mention, she protested loudly until she realized I was serious. What a great opportunity, I thought, to make someone else's day! The purse was one that hasn't worked all that well for me and the idea that a special friend might enjoy it lifted my spirits, probably far more that it did hers.
Later that morning, I took a walk along Englewood Beach, enjoying the cool breeze, the soft sand under my feet and the salt water lapping around my ankles as the gentle surf pushed it toward the shore. I marveled at the vastness of the sea and the majesty of the sky and thought about my friends embarking on new adventures.
On my way home, I stopped by the grocery store and bought two frozen turkeys that were advertised on a special sale, then drove to the homeless shelter and dropped them off. The two young men who eagerly helped me carry them from the car assured me that they would be put to good use.
The day ended with a beautiful sunset followed by a misty rain, much needed after a dry week. We shared dinner with neighbors, many of whom have just returned to their winter home for the season.
Not all days are as good as this one was, so perhaps that is why it stood out. But every day has its moments, sometimes so brief they almost go unnoticed, others more significant. Contentment lies in realizing the magic of everyday encounters, in knowing that blessings come in many forms and by understanding that our lives do make a difference in those of others.
Thanksgiving, the holiday, may be about turkey and all the trimmings, but giving thanks is much more enduring.

Glucocorticoid medicines (such as budesonide and dexamethasone) decrease
inflammation and swelling in the body. Some children who have croup symptoms get this medicine to help prevent croup from getting worse.
Glucocorticoids have been shown to work well for children who
have croup symptoms. Children usually get relief within 6 hours of having the
medicine. And serious side effects are rare when one dose is given.

We've all seen a flower so irresistible we feel we just have to have it.
But a new law imposed in Dubai this week serves as a timely reminder that the florist is the only place to cater for our floral needs.
Flower pickers will now have to pay a fine of up to 1,000 dirhams (£170) if caught by authorities in the United Arab Emirates city.
Fines will be issued regardless of age, gender or ignorance of the law.
Destroying public property is a crime and the fines will range from 500 to 1,000 dirhams (£85 to £170).
The move comes in response to several groups reportedly plucking flowers – which the Dubai authorities spent millions of dirhams (hundreds of thousands of pounds) importing – in bulk to sell for a profit.
Mohammed Al Awadi, Head of Horticulture Section of Public Parks and Horticulture Department at Dubai Municipality, said: "Everyone can see the efforts of our department and its dedicated employees to keep the city green and beautiful, which makes Dubai different from other cities in the region."
There is even a public hotline to report flower picking in the emirates.

It's the one time of year that Tom Varn Park goes to the dogs — plus a few cats, birds, rabbits and other creatures.
The fifth annual Nature Coast Pet Expo is everything its title says it is — a two-day celebration of the special bond between pets and their owners.
"It shouldn't be such a rare occasion in Hernando County for people to get together in public with their pets, but it is," said Humane Society of the Nature Coast director Joanne Schoch. "We've been doing this for five years, and I've yet to hear of one complaint about someone getting bitten or stepping into dog mess."
In addition to an event for pet owners to show off their animals, Schoch says it's an opportunity for prospective pet lovers to find the perfect companion. Just about every animal rescue group will be on hand, including the boxer and greyhound groups, as well as the SPCA and, of course, the Humane Society.
"People can look around, ask questions, and if they see an animal they'd like to take home they can do that as well," Schoch said.
Schoch said attendance at last year's event was markedly up from the previous year, with folks coming from as far away as Hillsborough and Citrus counties to take part in activities like the popular Lure Chase, where dogs can run an obstacle course for a nominal fee, a photo contest and a pet fashion show.
Vendors with pet-related items will be on hand, as will veterinarian care specialists.
This year's event has special significance for the Humane Society, a finalist in a contest on the Zootoo.com Web site that will award the winning shelter $1 million for renovations. A judge for the contest will visit the Pet Expo on Saturday.
"They are very interested in what kind of outreach programs we offer in our community," Schoch said.
She invites visitors to the event to bring signs and placards to the opening ceremony at 10 a.m. Saturday in support of the shelter's efforts as a no-kill facility.
The opening ceremony will include a "bowwow" brigade of pets and owners who have pledged monetary support for the Humane Society.
"Our main goal is to create more awareness when it comes to pet adoption," Schoch said. An area of the park called "Adoption Alley" will allow visitors to meet some of the many animals that need good homes.
Although it may seem that the event is "dog centered," Schoch said other pets are welcome as long as they are on leashes and their owners are willing to clean up after them.
"It's always a good time," Schoch said. "It's one of those events that always puts a smile on people's faces.

With sales of facial skin care set to reach £1 billion in the UK by 2012, research from Mintel finds the market for moisturizers, cleansers and lip care in excellent shape. Over the past five years, sales of women's facial skin care products have grown a healthy 26%, up from £738 million in 2006 to £930 million in 2010.
Indeed, the UK women's facial skin care market is expected to reach almost a billion (£964 million) in 2011, up 4% since 2010.There was even greater growth in the market between 2009 and 2010, when sales grew 6% and the market even absorbed the shock of the credit crunch in 2008, when it eked out growth of 1%. Furthermore, over the next five years, the market is set to grow 31% to reach £1.3 billion by 2016.
Today, moisturizers (£549 million) account for 59% of all women's facial skin care sales. The anti-aging or antiwrinkle variety are the most popular type, accounting for close to £2 of every £5 spent on women's moisturizers. Cleansers (£307 million) are the second biggest sector, with wipes—the country's most popular cleansing format—generating close to a fifth (18%) of all facial skin care sales. Sales of facial skin care products are divided between mass products (61%) valued at £584 million in 2011 and prestige products (39%)—valued at £380 million—with sales of the latter having increased a spectacular 21% between 2009 and 2011.
Michelle Strutton, senior consumer analyst at Mintel, said, "Facial skin care remains a vital weapon in women's appearance improvement and maintenance armory. Only a very tiny minority of women have had surgical treatments to improve their appearance, which leaves topical treatments, cosmetics and lifestyle adjustments the main tools available to women hoping to look their best from youth through to later life.
"While mass-market skin care has the edge on prestige, higher-end products are gaining despite the gloomy economic environment. The entire category may be invigorated even further by the arrival of blemish balm creams, which have enjoyed great success in Asia for several years and are now hitting shelves in the UK. The hybrid treatment-and-color products could recruit new users to skin care, who will likely be attracted to their multi-functional positioning," Strutton continues.
