U.S. Is Weighing Terrorist Label For Iran Guards
By HELENE COOPER; Thom Shanker contributed reporting from Washington, and David Rohde from Kabul, Afghanistan.
Published: August 15, 2007
The Bush administration is preparing to declare that Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps is a foreign terrorist organization, senior administration officials said Tuesday.
If imposed, the declaration would signal a more confrontational turn in the administration's approach to Iran and would be the first time that the United States has added the armed forces of any sovereign government to its list of terrorist organizations.
The Revolutionary Guard is thought to be the largest branch of Iran's military. While the United States has long labeled Iran as a state sponsor of terrorism, a decision to single out the guard would amount to an aggressive new challenge from an American administration that has recently seemed conflicted over whether to take a harder line against Tehran over its nuclear program and what American officials have called its destabilizing role in Iraq.
According to European diplomats, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has warned of the move in recent conversations with European counterparts, saying that a delay in efforts to win approval from the United Nations Security Council for further economic sanctions on Iran was leaving the administration with little choice but unilateral action.
A move toward putting the Revolutionary Guard on the foreign terrorist list would serve at least two purposes for Ms. Rice: to pacify, for a while, administration hawks who are pushing for possible military action, and to further press America's allies to ratchet up sanctions against Iran in the Security Council.
The State Department and Treasury officials are pushing for a stronger set of United Nations Security Council sanctions against members of Iran's government, including an extensive travel ban and further moves to restrict the ability of Iran's financial institutions to do business abroad. American officials have also been trying to get European and Asian banks to take additional steps against Iran.
Senior administration officials said current plans called for the declaration to be made this month, but cautioned that it could be put off, and that the effort could still be set aside if the Security Council moved more quickly to impose broad sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program.
The officials said the declaration was being pushed by Ms. Rice, and would not say if it had been endorsed by the National Security Council or the Pentagon.
President Bush seemed to signal a tougher approach to Iran last week when he called attention to what American officials have said was an active role by the Revolutionary Guard in providing munitions, training and other support to Shiite militants who have been attacking American troops in Iraq. ''When we catch you playing a nonconstructive role, there will be a price to pay,'' Mr. Bush said of Iran during a news conference on Thursday.
Listing would set in motion a series of automatic sanctions that would make it easier for the United States to block financial accounts and other assets controlled by the guard. In particular, the action would freeze any assets the guard has in the United States, although it is unlikely that the guard maintains much in the way of assets in American banks or other institutions.
In the internal debate over American policy toward Iran, Ms. Rice has succeeded over the last year in holding the Bush administration to a diplomatic course in which America and five other world powers have used the Security Council to impose sanctions to try to get Tehran to suspend its enrichment of uranium.
But in recent months, there has been resurgent debate within the administration about whether the diplomatic path is working, with aides to Vice President Dick Cheney said to be among those pushing for greater consideration of military options. The debate has been kindled by reports from international inspectors detailing Iran's progress in its nuclear program, including the installation of more than 1,000 centrifuges to enrich uranium, as well as the assertions from American intelligence officials about an Iranian role in providing arms and other support to Shiite militias in Iraq and to Taliban militants in Afghanistan.
Iran has repeatedly denied that it is seeking to build nuclear weapons, that it is helping in any way to facilitate attacks on American troops in Iraq or that it is shipping any weapons to the Taliban, a group Iran opposed in the 1990s.
On Tuesday, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad again dismissed American complaints that Iran is providing weapons to the Taliban. Speaking in Kabul, Afghanistan, after talks with President Hamid Karzai, he said Iran was ''fully supporting'' its new government.
Mr. Karzai played down the dispute over the weapons shipments, as he did during a visit to the White House this month. He said that Afghanistan and Iran were ''brothers'' and that both the United States and Iran were helping reconstruct his country.
In June, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said the volume of weapons reaching the Taliban from Iran made it ''difficult to believe'' that the shipments were ''taking place without the knowledge of the Iranian government.'' In a television interview the same day, Assistant Secretary of State R. Nicholas Burns said there was ''irrefutable evidence'' that the weapons were coming from the Revolutionary Guard.

THANKS A LOT TO MY BETAREADER SID. She did the wonderful work so you now can understand this story because I'm not a native writer (I'm Spanish). By the way I'm now working in the Spanish version
Walking toward the briefing room Colonel Steven Caldwell found himself wandering again about Doctor Elizabeth Weir. The woman was as much fascinating as infuriating.
It had been difficult to pass through those defiant green eyes but gradually they had become comfortable around each other, sharing conversation, playing chess. Until one day he had awaken trapped in the deepest recess of his mind by that jackass Goa'uld. He remembered too well the damn snake searching through his memories and his feelings to learn how to manipulate the situation. It had seen how he felt about her.
When Caldwell had known her before, he thought that she was just another diplomat, a damnable beautiful one, but easy to treat nonetheless. Ah! It had been like throwing him against a hard wall. When he realized she was different.
Throughout heated discussions his feelings had been changing from admiration to interest, passing to attraction and finally leading to lust. Damn it! He was a dirty old man in lust, 'Am I having a mid life crisis or what?' he sighed 'Well at least I don't have to buy an expensive car. I have the Daedalus' he thought somewhat humorously.
That same lust had been at bay as the Goa'uld possessed his mind but now that Steven was free it had come back with a vengeance. And lust was not precisely the better thing to have in mind now that he had to face Dr. Weir in the briefing room.
'Don't stare at him' she thought sternly as she watched the table or Dr. Beckett expounding on his theories, everything except the man that sat exactly across from her. Not after last night. Elizabeth Weir didn't think she could face Colonel Caldwell, not at least for a very long time.
Last night she had been in her room, in the darkness. She was so tense, and the "Phoebus" incident had been the last drop. She needed some "relief", it was logic and why the hell was she trying to justify her actions to herself!? She was a grown woman!
She had let her hand work to alleviate her stress as she searched in her mind for a fantasy. Thinking about Simon was too painful. John was her friend and it felt wrong. Ronon, it would be Ronon.
Their relationship was one of camaraderie, he respected her and she admired him but that was all; she could take him in her mind and transform him at her will and she would not feel embarrassed facing him in the morning, well not too embarrassed anyway. No one could deny that he was the perfect material for a fantasy; sensual, sexual and breathtaking.
As her hands wandered across her body and she envisioned Ronon her mind began to play with her; soon it was not that wild mane of hair, his eyes were not emerald but dark and piercing and before she could stop it her fantasy was Steven Caldwell. Her hands stopped dead and she opened her eyes. Definitively not a safe fantasy, mainly because along with the wish of yelling at the good colonel came the hidden wish of grab him and. 'don't go there Elizabeth!'
She fought with herself for a while but her mind won the battle. She gave in and her imagination filled with images of Caldwell, a body that she just supposed under that uniform. In her fantasy he was looking at her with the same gaze he had when they were arguing or he was thinking his next move in chess, his sharp eyes narrowed. She came with those eyes in her mind.
Then she had felt truly mortified.
Her eyes wandered across the room, avoiding him; she looked at Ronon. As a good diplomatic Elisabeth felt a healthy curiosity for the behaviors of the people around her. Ronon was quiet; it was not an unusual behavior in him but since they were discussing the possibility of using the retrovirus developed by Carson in a wraith she thought he would be arguing against the matter.
However, his eyes were fixed in front of him and his face reflected the same wonder as though he watched the man who discovered fire. Then his gaze took a predatory gleam and he flashed a wolfish smile at whoever was in front of him. Elisabeth followed Ronon's gaze: Lindsey Novak. She was there as a scientific assistant to Caldwell.
Weir barely contained her smile as she looked at the good doctor; she was looking at Carson but from the pink shade of her cheeks and the highcoughs shaking her frame Elisabeth knew that the other woman noticed that she was being watched by the Satedan Specialist.
What was happening on Atlantis lately? It was as if the air was charged with some kind of sexual tension. She watched Sheppard and Teyla sparring and it seemed more like a mating dance, and now Ronon Dex was staring at Dr. Novak like potential prey. Her eyes moved unconsciously towards Caldwell and suddenly she was trapped under a piercing, narrowed gaze. She was so grateful when Carson broke the spell, calling an end to the meeting, and she finally could reach the sanctuary of her office.
The night was coming peacefully over Atlantis, as Elizabeth emerged from her shower and dressed; over the lacy white panties she slid some comfortable cotton pants and put on a plain blue t-shirt. She skipped the bra since no one would bother to come by at this time of night.
It seemed that destiny had other plans though as her doorbell chirped. She sighed "Open!" She was shocked he was there, Steven Caldwell in all his glory. He was in that blue sweater she liked and his arms were crossed over his chest, leaning on the doorframe. Her mind wandered to last nights dream as her eyes roved around his broad shoulders and his confused face.
"Doctor Weir, I didn't realize it was so late." he hesitated before he spoke again, "I thought that since my problem with the Goa'uld we might need to have a chat."
"Of course," she motioned him to come inside as she glanced briefly at the room; good, everything in order, it would be more than embarrassing for the man, with whom she maintained a constant and somehow exciting verbal sparring match, to see her room in disarray. Or, heaven forbid, some forgotten underwear lying beside the bed. She shoved to the back of her mind the fact that she cared what he thought about her as they sat across from each other on the tiny sofa.
For a while he seemed at a loss for words; Elizabeth was surprised, if there was something that she admired about him it was his forwardness. He eventually spoke, "I was wondering if it bothered you in some way," at her confused face he explained, "I mean the Goa'uld, when it was inside of me."
She arched her eyebrows meaningfully, "Well."
He seemed to realize the utter stupidity of his question "I mean, at a personal level. Apart from the fact of that it put all of the people of this base at risk and."
"Actually when he was not an arrogant highhanded bastard he could be, quite charming," she cut him with her words.
"Charming?" he sounded so upset that she smirked.
"Colonel, it's not the first time that I have been face to face with a Goa'uld, but the first time I knew he was one of them. I think you've heard about, Camulus. He was arrogant, manipulative but very clever. Very highhanded, of course he had chosen a physically perfect host so he was full of himself. He even tried to take advantage of that," she snorted softly and then she watched him deeply. "Of course now we didn't know you were a host. I thought he was you." She had sadness in her voice as she spoke, "He cheated us well, Colonel."
He watched her thoughtfully. Did she think that the snake had been 'charming' or that he, Steven Caldwell, was charming in a Goa'uld-ish way? That was not definitively something he wanted to think about and highhanded? That was good coming from her! Or maybe she thought that he was charming, period. His lips curved in a half smile as he watched her blushing slightly.
God, he was doing it again, that narrowed gaze, flattering and nerve-wrecking. Flattering because it was a gaze of a man appreciating what he sees without a shadow of guilt, nerve-wrecking almost for the same reason, with those eyes he bared her of her authority. She was so aware that she was just a woman in front of that magnificent man. 'Stop it!' she reproached herself.
He stood up "Thank you, Doctor Weir." She stood too as he spoke "I've found your conversation quite, enlightening."
"Oh" she was not sure if he had taken well her explanations "I didn't mean."
He cut her "I think we cleared the air" He watched a small, shy smile form on her lips. He had thought a lot about those lips; inappropriate, breaking the rules thoughts, and now he was drawn by them. Without realizing it he had began leaning towards her and now they was just inches apart. He knew he could make a fool of himself, he knew she probably had a good right cross; he didn't care.
"Doctor Weir," his breath tickled over her face, "I should go"
"Colonel Caldwell, you should," she whispered.
Despite her words she didn't move. There were a lot of reasons to move away from him, to lead him to her door but her body had one more powerful reason, which overrode the careful logic about rules, regulations and other considerations. Elizabeth leaned up to press her mouth to his.
First just a slight caress, their lips molding to each other as his hands moved to her waist. She had never imagined that his thin lips could feel so warm and soft. One of his large hands was now holding the back of her neck, titling her head as he slanted his mouth over hers, sucking her top, then her bottom lip in to his mouth, slowly, languidly.
She opened her mouth and then they were battling, their tongues performing a mating dance. His free arm held her body flush against his hard one in a vice grip. She was a willing prisoner and her hands were mapping the broad expanse of his back through his sweater.
Steven kissed her hard like a thirsty man. This was not a dream, he was not in the middle of a lonely night's fantasy, he was actually kissing the formidable Elizabeth Weir and she was kissing him back. She taste like coffee and sugar and definitively female and he was lost and addict.
He backed her against a wall and left her mouth to explore her neck. Pale, slender and soft, it had always been teasing and tempting to him and now he was going to make the best of this chance before she recovered her sanity and threw him out of her room. Kissing, licking, gently nipping; for the soft moans she uttered. She liked it and God helped him, it made his blood boil.
How could she imagine that the highhanded colonel was this good? He was making a mess with her neck and Elizabeth was becoming really impatient which was not normal behaviour for her. Obviously he came from the gentlemanly side of the old school and he was not going to make a move without a hint; she gripped his sweater and took it off his body, then proceeded with the buttons of his shirt.
Meanwhile, Steven reassumed his quest at her neck, sending pleasurable shivers throughout her body, the ache and wetness between her legs was becoming unbearable.
All insecurity gone, Steven eagerly freed her of her t-shirt as he ravished her mouth. His hands instinctively seek for her breast. They fit in his hands as if they belong to him, the texture velvety and warm, nipples hard and excited sliding against his palms. His erection twitched in response and
he pressed his lower body against hers as he groaned deeply in his chest.
His lips trailed across her jaw and her neck. Her breasts were waiting for his hungry eyes and mouth. Lapping at her light pink nipple he was rewarded by a musical sighed 'Steven'. One of her hands was holding his head as he suckled the tight bud and the other one gripped his shoulder. Steven began to massage the flesh between her legs and his head swam at the heat he felt through the cotton of her pants. Her moans encouraged him and she moved with the rhythm of his hand.
He slowly sank to his knees as he teased her stomach with his tongue and lips. Elizabeth watched through heavy lidded eyes his bald head and his broad shoulders as he worshipped her body. Suddenly she was pinned by a dark intense gaze from the man kneeling before her; despite his position she felt very much like his prey.
His large hands glided across the sides of her waist, grasping the edges of her pants and panties and sliding both of them down her slender legs. Goosebumps rose across her skin and her breathing accelerated in excited anticipation as he coaxed first one foot then the other to free her of the garments. Forcing her thighs apart, for a moment his gaze was fixed on what was revealed. Apart from a triangle of tight dark curls in her mound she was bare; she blushed, not knowing what Steven would think about the maximum civil authority of Atlantis shaving her privates. When his fired eyes retuned to hers she didn't doubt anymore.
Elizabeth could just whimper as the stroke of a hot tongue delved between her soaked folds of flesh. Finding easily her throbbing clit, tracing teasing circles and she just whimpered. The width of his tongue rasping her most sensitive flesh, bringing her closer to insanity and she could only whimper.
As he was suckling at her clitoris, she gripped his shoulders, clawing at his flesh, knowing that she was going to explode. She came whimpering as her body shivered helplessly, his large hands holding her hips firmly.
Eventually she breathed again and found Steven cradling her against his chest. She looked up at him; along with the passion there was tenderness she had never seen before in his eyes and his mouth was curved in a smug smile; as all men he was not immune to ego. She cleaned his lips briefly and then kissed him with an intensity she had not felt before. She tasted herself in his mouth; she didn't care.
The brush of cloth over her bare skin reminded her that he was not naked yet. Still kissing him she fumbled with his belt as he discarded his shoes. His pants finally were on the floor and she had to give him points as she watched between kisses how he got rid of his socks only using his feet. She fought against the tented black boxer and finally got rid of them, glorying in the feeling of skin against skin, his erection trapped between them.
She snaked an arm between them and encircled his maleness with her hand; oh, my...
Large, thick and hard, like silk over steel, and he was hot to the touch. She stroked him as he half purred, half groaned.
Elizabeth hid her smile in his hairy chest "Colonel Caldwell, pleased to meet you" She squeezed him gently. A masculine rumble of his laugh answered her as she backed them to the bed and pushed him so he fell on his back. She perused his body; his torso spoke of a daily light workout, nature had blessed him with good legs, unusual in a man. His erection stood too proud and she watched his too calm face; she narrowed her eyes, she was planning to drive him insane.
Steven watched a devious, almost feline gleam in her green eyes as she leaned over him. He waited for her kiss but instead watched the change in her position and he swallowed hard, surely not? His fists gripped handfuls of the sheets beneath him; a deep groan erupted from his chest.
Hot, moist inferno encased him, and when he was able to open his eyes he was rewarded with a sight extracted from his wildest fantasies. Her mouth on him and he didn't know what the hell she was doing with her tongue but he could die happy just now. He knew that probably there was something more erotic than that sight but his brain couldn't find it. His hips began to move without his consent and he knew he had to stop her because if she went on he was not going to last.
"Elizabeth," a low warning, half pained, through clenched teeth. She ignored him. It was an act of incredible will power to gently push her away and then pull so she reclined her body in the bed.
At her amused expression he explained "That was too good but it would be too short"
"Doesn't seem too short to me," she glanced downwards smiling. She was silenced by a demanding kiss as he rolled her on her back. Hovering over her, supporting his weight on his arm he circled her clitoris with his thumb. Her head fell back, his name sighed as she sought his touch and he moved pressing his need against her wetness, lubricating himself with every stroke.
Her hands tightened on his back in response, encouraging him and her legs opened wider in silent invitation. He didn't need more and his erection pierced her flesh in a sure stroke as she cried out in pleasure. Engulfing him in her tight heat, for a moment he didn't move as they adjust to each other.
Then he began to move and Elizabeth thought she was going to fall to pieces. The hair of his chest was abrading her sensitive nipples sending shocks across her body with every thrust of his body filling her, impacting with her clit and bringing her close to the edge.
She let the instinct to seek pleasure claim her mind. Spreading her legs to gain friction, arching her body in synchrony with his moves; her moaned mantra "Steven" suddenly dissolved in a cacophony of sobs, pleasure and moisture as she came. She grasped him desperately as she unconsciously left four thin scratches in the small of his back.
Steven had been watching her face as she came, glorying in her blissful expression and he was swept away by something too powerful. His eyes closed and he saw stars. For infinite seconds he just felt the sharp ecstasy as he spilled inside her welcomed warmth, his body shaking. He thought that he could be growling but he was not sure as he collapsed over her, trying to breath.
Her tired sweaty body was covered by an equally sweaty one; it was not crushing her, not yet and it felt good, right. Like a warm secure, well, sweaty blanket. She felt his hands holding her ass and back, the room gave a roll and then she was face down over a sweaty hairy chest. She looked up at him. Now was when the risk of an uncomfortable silence was hovering over them. He was dealing quite well with that, just looking quietly at her as he caressed leisurely her spine. She decided to follow his lead, no need for uncomfortable silences.
"You can stay?"
"Mh hmm" he nodded.
"Your crew doesn't get suspicious?"
He arched his eyebrows "You know how this goes, we are a family, a military family," he clarified. Then he added conspiratorially "Besides it's better for my crew if they keep their mouths quiet. You know, when I was on the way here, I saw Novak in the Gym. She was supposed to be training with Ronon Dex" he laughed lightly "I can tell you that whatever they were doing THAT was not self defense."
She laughed against his chest "There will be quite a few disappointed women and some men"
"Men? That's good," He became serious as he gently coaxed her chin so she faced him. "You know we have to be discrete, this relationship between us," he looked so vulnerable suddenly.
"So there is an 'us'," she said just to tease him
"I'm not a one night stand kind of man," he warned her.
"Neither am I," she whispered as she kissed him tenderly, as she moved to accommodate his body for sleep.
"We just have to be cautious, the regulations and rules."
He smiled as he heard her sleepy answer "Oh, screw the rules"

There are people in every industry that have so much of an effect on it, it seems unfair. Golf has Tiger Woods, politics have the President of the United States, and the investing world has these players.
TUTORIAL: World's Greatest Investors
1. Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett has the distinction of the having celebrity status both in and out of the investing world. Of all of the leading voices in the market, Buffett is the largest, although his voice is rarely heard. Buffett is the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, a $184 billion company that owns controlling interests in companies like Geico, Netjets and many others. He is the third wealthiest person in the world and has made his empire as possibly the most successful value investor as well as a proponent of the buy and hold investing model.
During the peak of the Great Recession of 2009, Buffet wrote an op ed piece in the New York Times. It was hailed as a vote of confidence in an economy that was faltering. When Buffett speaks, the market listens, and it is easy to see simply by watching Wall Street's as well as the news media's reaction to all of his words. (For related reading, see Warren Buffett: How He Does It.)
2. Carl Icahn
Corporate raiders find companies that they perceived to be undervalued and purchase a controlling interest in the company, often allowing them to gain control of a certain number of board seats. With those board seats the corporate raider is able to make changes to the company which increases their value.
Carl Icahn may be one of the best known modern day corporate raiders. Some of his most famous attempts at taking control of companies include his battles with Trans World Airlines, Yahoo! and Time Warner. Recently, Haines Celestial Group, maker of organic foods and one of Mr. Icahn's holdings, announced a better-than-expected quarter, allowing Icahn to profit $124 million - a 100% gain in just one year. (For related reading, see Carl Icahn's Investing Strategy.)

Dennis Gartman is best known for his daily newsletter, The Gartman Letter. Each day at 2:30AM he wakes up to write his four page publication for delivery to all subscribers no later than 6:00AM. This newsletter is read by institutional investors all over the world because it contains commentary on the world markets. Of particular interest is his commentary on currency and commodities trading. If you're looking for one of the best informed predictions on the gold market, Dennis Gartman may be your trader of choice.
Not only is he a commentator, he is also a trader himself. His 22 rules of trading are a must-read for all traders. One of his rules is to understand mass psychology more than economics because markets are more based on human emotion more than economic factors. (Dennis Gartman has this to say about stocks. For more, see Patience Is A Trader's Virtue.)
5. The Computer
It may seem odd that the computer is a market mover but the effect of the computer on the modern day trading market is staggering. Computers now account for more than 70% of all daily trading volume. To put that in to perspective, for every three trades made by a human, seven trades are done by computer - and those seven trades could have taken place in under one second.
Because of this, a new question must be asked by the modern trader: What would the computer do? Many argue that looking at the characteristics of a company are no longer as important as studying the company's chart. Understanding moving averages and support levels may now be more important than knowing what a company does and what new products are in the pipeline.
One thing is certain: The computer is now just as - if not more - important than the large volume hedge fund and mutual fund traders. (For related reading, see The Death Of The Trading Floor.)
The Bottom Line
Whether the market is rigged or not will remain a question asked by traders for many more generations but it is certain that these influential traders have a profound effect on movement of the global markets. You may be wise to keep an eye on their movements and market predictions.

how wrong is it to let ds6 hit ds8 who keeps hitting him?(25 Posts)
i think that the result you have speaks for itself.
Iamshewhomustbeobeyed - how about a name change to IShoutAlotButItGetsMeNowhee ?
I've said I disagree. You asked for what other people would do and I responded.
I hope you get it all sorted out.
Willowisp...the social worker agreed with you and spoke about supervised access. I have spent a whole year trying to get help and at last she has said she will help me. I live in hope that this year will see a change for us.
I have had words and words and words, nothing makes any difference.
I hope the social worker will be able to help us, I am not sure what she can do as I don't know how much power she has.
IAmShe...please don't be so critical of me. I am not a perfect parent only a very loving one who is being abused and is trying to do the best for my much loved boys.
i think you were right to allow younger DB hit the other. All too often I'm seeing older kids whack/bully/pinch the younger sibling & parents not doing anything about it.
It's a bit like standing up to a bully - they don't like it when the tables are turned. Well done DS2.
I don't like the sound of your exp BTW & agree I'd be letting SS let know that he frequently smacks Ds2...in fact I think about taking it a bit further & arguing access, if the only way he can control is with a smack. Not against smacking per se.
So did i read correctly that exp hits the younger boy and his older brother also hits him???
I would be having words with exp
Ah the perfect parent. I see.
I am not a perfect parent hence the yelling. I would draw a line at letting the younger hit the elder to show him that it hurt.
but IAmShe... you are saying you 'shout and yell and get extremely cross' and that your 'two youngest fight and hit all the time and it's a nightmare'
I have stopped my children hitting each other and I do not have to 'shout and yell or get extremely cross'.....
My mum used to leave us to fight it out because no matter what she did once her back was turned we would start again.
Its what siblings do!
I am not scorning or judging. However I do not agree with the younger child being allowed to hit the other to show him what it's like. This is akin to biting a toddler back to show him what it's like.
My two youngest fight and hit all the time and it's a nightmare. Neither of them have issues at school or problems bullying others they are just normal siblings (driving their mother crazy!)
In answer to the op: what I do is- try and reason with the hitter(when calm and collected ha!) try and explain empathy(pretty hopeless, but.....) have sanctions (the reasonable, sensible course of action) and of course that good old standby, shout, yell and get extremely cross.
My sympathies are with the op but I do disagree with her methods, however effective.
You should have shot yourself and handed yourself into the police, social services and interpol, tigereye.
Sorry for being facetious given you now have SS to deal with (do what elfycat says) but you can get a lot of overreaction on mn and I wanted to balance it out.
Yes, it's not ideal to let children hit each other but it was ONE hit. It's very easy to scorn and criticise. I think that you're posting here for support, not criticism, which I will guess you get plenty of from exp. I'm glad you're trying to leave him.
I think the criticism and judgypants-ing is probably better aimed at the children's father, not their mother who wants to better the situation.
I think when we're trying to change stuff that we know isn't great, we can feel scared and fragile and confused. And asking for help and getting told we're crap for 'allowing' the bad stuff in the first place is about as unsupportive as you can get. That sort of stuff can stop us daring to seek help. So ignore the non constructive negative posts, tigereye. You have to filter out the perfect people, they are almost always deluded.
So, problem sorted and the boys are getting support. Good.
I hope you are sucsessful in leaving your abusive and intimidating ex as well. Get support to help you with than where you can from SS as well.
Nebulous... ds8 does not have any problems at school. he is a very sweet boy who never causes a problem at school or home apart from this.
When the social worker came to the house I showed her a photo of marks left on my ds6 leg after a 'smack' from his father. The social worker reported that she felt intimidated by the boys father and he also told her the only reason he hadn't hit me was because he knew what the police would do!
Both boys are getting support from school and now ss but this really wasn't what I wanted to get into...I just wanted to know what other mums/dads would have done.
Wow we already have perfect parents with angelic offspring (or only children).
Massive assumption that the OP is a neglectful parent who hides behind the ironing. You cannot supervise children 100% of the time and ironing and cleaning are essential tasks.
Kids fight, my DDs are 2 and 4 and they scrap like any siblings. I keep an ear out for screams of pain (rather than frustration) and only wade in when needed.
Thank You for your support EmmaNess, I have no support from their father,I am trying to leave him which is something he doesn't want so he won't support me in anything.
'ds who is 8 sees this all the time and thinks that smacking/htting ds6 is kinda the thing you do when he annoys you.....one day ds8 had hit ds6 half a dozen times really hurting him. '
Yes judgemental. Both children need more support than they are getting.
Then you need some parenting classes or to read a few self-help books to give you ideas about how to build positive relationships between your children.
What is your 8 year old like at school? Does he thump his peers and smaller children? Or do the consequences of that behaviour in school put him off?
And if you think that ironing and cleaning are of equal weight to parenting your children effectively then I think your priorities need readjusting.
Your older child hurt your younger child over a period of time and you coulen't stop him?
SS may be useful in offering ways for you to access appropriate support.
I did not let the younger son punch older son or kick him or allow him to do it more than once, it was one smack and it stopped the problem.
what should I have done?
x posts
Sometimes, when you've tried all the 'right' things, and when you've no support from the other parent who has a completely different set of principles, the 'wrong' thing is what you resort to.
It's not ideal at all to be hitting (though I'd be sure to let SS know that it's XP who does the smacking that sets this off).
When DD2 hits DD1 I use the opportunity to point out to DD1 that DD2 learned it from her. The way to stop a younger child hitting is to let the older to lead by example. I do try to limit all hitting and it all gets told off.
It sounds like they were generally squabbling and hitting each other and that to an extent they need to resolve it between them, but only as long as no-one is getting hurt. Ironic that it was Ds8 who was doing most of the hitting and is then the one to complain.
If SS contact you agree that it's not ideal
agree with everything they say but again say that hitting is not something you tolerate but that while xp smacks it's hard to get them to understand that.
Christ, Nebulous, judgmental much?!
I am guessing tigereye didn't 'allow' it. I expect her ds1 was told off and punished etc., but none of that worked. Letting her ds2 retaliate was probably a last resort, in order that her ds2 would stop getting hit. And it worked.
Were you wrong, tigereye? Not, imo. I think if exp was hitting ds2, it would be very very hard to stop it at home. No back up from the other parent sends everything to shit, really.
I did not 'allow' my older son to hit my younger son, without sitting inbetween them 24 7 how could I stop it? I have tried everything, naughty step, talking to him explaining how wrong it is, pocket money deduction etc.... I do not smack my children so they know that it is something I accept but I honestly did not know how to stop him.
Whilst older son was hitting younger son I was cooking,cleaning,ironing etc as normal mums do!
On a scale from one to ten with ten being completely unacceptable, it's a ten.
You were wrong to allow your older child to hit your younger child so frequently and intentionally in the first place.
WTF were you doing whilst your boys were learning that violence is the only way to deal with other people?
ds is 6 and is a very busy boy and in need of constant attention. exp smacks him when he looses his temper with him. ds who is 8 sees this all the time and thinks that smacking/htting ds6 is kinda the thing you do when he annoys you.....one day ds8 had hit ds6 half a dozen times really hurting him. I let ds6 hit him to show him how much it hurt. Ds8 has not hit him since (over two months).
How wrong was I? After the incident ds8 rang his father upset, father recorded the conversation and played it to the PSA at school who contacted social services.
I know what they think about it but I would like to know what other mums/dads think.
Ds who is 8 no longer hits his little brother so was I right or wrong to resolve the problem in this way?

The problem with blog comments and other "web forums" is, in addition to the hopeless interfaces they invariably are equipped with, that they are scattered. I very rarely check back to follow up on comments (except on my own site :-), and I rarely bother to register to add my voice. So, yes, I would like discussion to take place with some central coordinaton. Stack Overflow and Reddit are at least improvements over the traditional web forums, starting to acquire some of the features Usenet had twenty years ago. Much like Planet-style meta-blogs and RSS syndication makes it liveable to follow blogs. The important thing is making all the resources visible, and bringing stuff together. HWN is great, I don't follow Reddit, but I do click on the links that look interesting. Is there something going in the other direction, pointing SO users to mailing list threads, for instance? Most web-based email archives seem to suck - where can we point to a nice URL to get an overview of a -cafe thread? -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants

Lennoxs Butterfly Effect
Lennox gets her picture taken at Monday's Media Day.
Storm Photos
Instead of needing to use their first-round pick on a shooting guard when it became clear that incumbent starter Sandy Brondello would stay in Australia this season, Lennox's presence freed the Storm to trade the pick, along with forward Amanda Lassiter, to Minnesota for forward Sheri Sam and center Janell Burse.
Now, Lennox and Sam, previously teammates in Miami, are the leading candidates to start at shooting guard and small forward, respectively, as the Storm upgrades its perimeter punch. And both have been singled out during the early stages of camp by Coach Anne Donovan as two of the most effective players thus far.
After this morning's practice, Donovan gushed about Lennox's ability on the fast break.
"In transition, Betty is fantastic," Donovan said. "That's what Sue wants to do, she wants to push the ball and run. Betty's either pushing it, getting it to Sue, or on the receiving end. Already our transition game looks better, even without Lauren here."
In town for more than a month to familiarize herself with the city, work out with the Storm's coaching staff and participate in the "Stormin' the Sound" community initiative, Lennox has quickly impressed the franchise both on and off the court. Virtually everyone connected with the organization is forthcoming in their praise for Lennox.
"From day one, Betty impressed me with her professionalism, genuineness and caring for the community," said Sarah Childs, the Storm's Community Relations Coordinator. "As a new member of the Seattle Storm, she willingly jumped into "Stormin' the Sound" and did numerous appearances in order to get to know her new community. She has been great to work with and her passion for basketball and for working with kids is contagious."
In addition to moving around - she's been traded once and had a pair of franchises cease operations on her - Lennox's size has been a factor in keeping her from making good on the promise she flashed as the 2000 WNBA Rookie of the Year. At 5-8, Lennox is on the small side for a WNBA shooting guard, but the Storm is confident she can make up for the deficiency.
"That's Betty, she's smaller than most of the players out there on the perimeter," said Donovan. "Unfortunately, she's undersized. She makes up for it because she's so super-quick, and she's also extremely aggressive.
"She's always at a mismatch, and no one's more aware of that than Betty. She's a very smart player, so she knows she's got to compensate for her size. As an offensive player, they have the advantage. She takes that advantage away from the offense by being right in their shorts. Smart player."
When asked about overcoming her size, Lennox echoed her coach's words, adding how her weightlifting has helped her play bigger than her listed height and weight.
"If somebody's taller than me, guarding me, I use my strength, which is my quickness," Lennox said. "On both ends, you've got to be smart. Don't do something that you don't have the advantage of doing. Play smart. On the defensive end, I try to get low and use my lower-body strength and keep her from the basket. It's difficult, it takes a lot of hard work."
During today's practice, Lennox matched up at times with 5-11 Adia Barnes, giving away three inches of height but nothing in terms of intensity. Lennox used her quickness to hound Barnes on the perimeter and take Barnes out of her offense, then used her strength to box her out on the glass. That same effort has helped Lennox be an impressive rebounder for a guard throughout her career, including a career-best 5.6 rebounds per game as a rookie.
Lennox may not be excited about the circumstances that will likely allow her to become a starter in Seattle - "I wish Sandy Brondello could be back here, she's my ex-teammate in Miami," she said. "I really admire her and look up to her" - but she is going to continue to work hard to take advantage of the situation and have a butterfly effect on the Storm.
"I'm surprised how quickly we're moving along," she said. "You expect that in year two, your offense to look better, your defensive presence to pick up, but we have so many new players in this camp. I'm surprised, four practices in, at how fast we're moving. The pace is good."

Like many substances found in the human body, selenium is essential to all living cells as it plays an important role in the production of certain enzymes. In fact, these enzymes are in part responsible for the production of antioxidants, which are known to prevent cancer. However, selenium is also very toxic and if presented in the body in larger quantities than the trace amounts that are normal, complications could develop.
Even though selenium is a necessary component of the body, it can be dangerous in high levels. A possible cause of selenium toxicity is the eating of plants grown in soil that is extremely selenium rich. Studies of humans with this condition have not been extensive, however the effects on horses have been seen for hundreds of years in the way the hooves of such horses would begin to slough off. Selenium toxicity is most often found in countries such as China wherein the soil is extremely rich in selenium and the mineral has made its way into the food and water supplies.
Selenium toxicity reacts much differently in humans with a few similarities. Symptoms include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Gastrointestinal problems
- Hair loss
- Sloughing off of nails
- Garlic breath
- Fatigue
- Mood swings
- Neurological problems
- Pulmonary edema
- Cirrhosis of the liver
- Death
As you can see, selenium toxicity can be very serious, especially in cases where the levels of the substance found in a person's body are extremely high.
Another possible cause of selenium toxicity is an overdose if a person is being treated for a condition wherein the medication contains the substance.
While selenium toxicity can be treated, it is very important that it be caught in its earlier stages. When you begin to have chronic diarrhea or nausea is when you should visit the doctor. Waiting until your nails begin to change and your breath smells of garlic is extremely dangerous and could mean you have experienced irreversible damage. While you can be treated at this stage, if neurological damage has occurred, you may have to suffer with this for the rest of your life.
It is a much wiser idea to prevent selenium toxicity from ever occurring than trying to treat it after damage has already been done. This after the fact sort of attitude we have toward healthcare is not very effective. The best way to treat a condition or disease is to prevent it from occurring to the best of your ability.

Resurrecting a dead thread a bit but I thought this thread was really funny. I tried getting some JBL 120Ti put into our entertainment center in our pretty small family room and she wanted nothing to do with it....so they are in my office for music listening....
I find trying to make something that will keep her happy to be a special challenge. I like high efficiency speaker as I find them to be better with dynamics...so one would normally go with some sort of horned design...well, that isnt working cause the room is still too small....smallest horns I would go for are the MTG-08 on diysoundgroup.com.
However, she doesnt like the toed-in look of bookshelf speakers in the entertainment center either...so now I am trying to find something with good off axis response. Which is why I am now looking at Coaxials/Full range speakers for the family room which is also where we are watching our movies at loud volumes.
I am also looking at taking some woodworking classes to learn how to make furniture so that in the future I can integrate all my audio in as close to an "invisible" way as possible with subs built like furniture, tv stands, etc....

A standmount 6.5" + wave-guide-loaded-tweeter design would be a safe bet I think.
A scanspeak d2608/9130000 in the PE 6.5" Dayton wave-guide or in a monacor wg300 will end up with 97dB sensitivity before padding, around the optimum xover frequency range. Partner this with a 6ND430-8 from 18sound with a well designed crossover @ ≈2500Hz and you'll have a smallish loudspeaker with above average sensitivity and excellent off axis characteristics that will suit a non toed in setup.
Of course it wont do much below 100Hz but it's about as good as you're going to get given your size constraints. Add in a well hidden sub and you should be fine.
What the hell are you screamin' for? Every five minutes there's a bomb or somethin'! I'm leavin! bzzzz! Now with website! www.5een.co.uk under construction.

Line arrays are high effective also, no need for horns. And my wife tolerates them well, especially when they are inside of the wall on which the movie screen is hanging.

Am I the only one who has a wife who loves antiques?
Sure weve made compromises. Like ive restored a 1956 packard bell black and white tv thats in the living room, though it now has her silly flatscreen sitting on top of it.. as she doesnt want to watch a b&w tv. Ive a rather nice radiola model 62 (1928) in the living room as well, but it had been gutted, so i replaced all the internals with a mid 50s fm tube radio. Now it works and gets stations wed both like to listen to.
but she isnt normal, she likes vintage clothing and cars (for the style) and i count myself as lucky she lets me "make messes" when building amps and radios on the kitchen table.

My lovely wife quickly expressed a dislike for the innoccuous slim floorstanders I acquired as a single man. Later we were discussing a system for our new home, the subject of panels came up and I found pictures. I also explained that they were big. The next thing I know, she presents me with a surprise birthday present in the form of a pair of Magneplanar SMGa. Elsewhere on these forums, I wrote up the process of their rebuild.
Now, to me, a mere mortal who has been informed that "it's not your fault, you're just missing a chromosome" this all seemed odd, if acceptable. On questioning her reasoning Mrs H explained that the new speakers match our 60's style interior and furniture, and the 2D form is preferable by far to any box. At that, I have let the matter rest, a happy man at peace with his ears and spouse

My wife hates the look of my speakers (the ancient threeways that are acting as stands for the MTM's I can understand) But the MTM's... funny though the other day she said the grills are horrible (which is true because I knocked them up in a day so my two year old wouldn't poke the finished speakers). I took them off and she said that's MUCH better.
She also hates my Italian stereo rack. I think it is quite stylish, Glass and black powder coated tubular steel. We saw a 19" rack cabinet in an audio shop, and she said, that's the sort of thing I like
She hates my Loewe Xelos 81CM CRT because it isn't thin. The fact that the picture is far superior to any flat screen we have seen doesn't matter.
I did have one win though. When I finally got the crossover right on my MTM's I got the seal of approval to redo the woofers (even if the boxes were as big as the current 70L ones). Just as long as we make them look nice. She always comments on just how good the current sound is, and it should improve a lot once I have the 10" woofers doing duty below 300Hz.
Just to give an idea about what an ugly speaker it is. Here is a pic size is 201mm wide and 493mm high (not including the legs). edit added similar but not exactly the same as (mine has a wider top glass to suit CRT) rack...
Any intelligence I may appear to have is purely artificial!

Just came across this thread and surely fun to read. I have been asked questions such as "why you need so many amps and speakers?" and "why do you need so many tiny electronic parts and keeping them for over 30 years?" or "why is the music so loud? (even only about 1W+1W) Then I remember the "stuffs" on her make-up desk. Bottles and bottles of creams and lotions etc. I hate lotions on my face, it is sticky and uncomfortable to me. However, she will put layers and layers on with different bottles of lotions. (She puts some on me too) She said that they are designed for different purposes and used in different areas. I told her the parts are all serving different purposes in the circuit and different classes of amps and speakers have different characteristics.
Anyway, I don't think she understands me and neither do I understand her (the makeup stuffs). I do remember I have seen big department stores putting out comfy chairs for the husbands while the wives are shopping for makeups etc. Basically, most men sitting there look bore to death and some falling asleep (they look like nursing home residents). I think it is sad but at least I will stay with my wife and watch her excited moments shopping makeups. Although I don't understand those "things" on the shelf, I, to the very least, try to listen to her education on the products while she shops.
But two months ago, to my surprise, she asked for a sub-woofer. She wants more bass for watching movies. I immediately said "Oh, yeah?!?! " and grabbed a Dayton sub from PE before she changes her mind.

PATIN, Rose V. et al. The influence of sardine consumption on the omega-3 fatty acid content of mature human milk. J. Pediatr. (Rio J.) [online]. 2006, vol.82, n.1, pp.63-69. ISSN 0021-7557. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0021-75572006000100013.
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to investigate what effect the intake of sardines, rich in omega-3 series polyunsaturated fatty acids, has on the composition of breastmilk. METHODS: This was a prospective study of 31 nursing mothers under observation at the Hospital Guilherme Álvaro. Each was given 2 kg of fresh sardines twice with a 15-day interval. Milk was sampled and a 24-hour dietary recall questionnaire was applied on days 0, 15 and 30. Milk was assayed for fatty acid content by gas chromatography. Statistical analysis of the results was performed using nonparametric tests with significance set at p < 0.05. RESULTS: The results demonstrate that the nutritional intake of the nursing mothers was adequate at all three sample points. With regard to the omega-3 series fatty acid content of the breastmilk, it was observed that regular consumption and shorter intervals between intake and milk collection resulted in higher concentrations of docosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid at 15 and 30 days into the study. Fatty acids from the omega-3 and omega-6 series exhibited a significant correlation, r2 was 0.58 and 0.59 at 15 and 30 days, respectively. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that incorporating fish into the diets of nursing mother during lactation, in the form of 100 g of sardines two or three times a week, contributes to an increase in omega-3 series fatty acids.
Keywords : Breastmilk; human milk; polyunsaturated fatty acids; fish comsumption; docosahexaenoic acid (DHA); omega-3 fatty acids; lactation; breastfeeding.

Dien Bien Phu. Saigon. Hanoi. In 1954, they were only exotic names from a French campaign halfway around the world. But now American fighting men - proven on the bloody beaches of Normandy and in the minefields of Korea - are summoned to help beat back the guerilla forces of Ho Chi Minh. To some, the "secret" war in Indochina was the depth of folly. To others, like the majors, it pointed to the heights of glory.

"voice stoppedst chapter 43 it read BUFFERING "
story good but lost ending no sound no voice
not in the story in the voice it went blank
story was good
I would like to know how it ended
I wanr credit for the book
"great book"
the whole series is outstanding very entertaining i highly recommend it well worth a listen
"Absolutely excellent!"
Just as before but maybe even more so, I cannot wait to listen to the next book in this wonderful series! I truly appreciate that the author brings in interesting female characters as well, but these stories have an overall depth of character that can be appreciated by anyone.
"Great story but not a fan of narrator"
Love the story but it's narrator can't pronounce the terms properly and it is an irritation.
"Awesome "
favorite series of book, W. E. B. Griffin awesome account of military history , excellent story telling
"Get pronunciation and jargon accurate."
I read the entire brotherhood of war series in hardback. I really enjoy W.E.B. Griffin. One point; please have your narrator learn the intricacies of military jargon.
The M-1 Garand is pronounced Grrr-rand, as in grandstand, not soft G as in Germany.
Also; 8p.m. in military time is spoken as Twenty-hundred hours, not Two thousand.
"A story of great detail! W E B Griffin... Prime!"
As always, the rich cast of characters and their heroic exploits is breathtaking! Masterfully done. Thoroughly enjoyable!
"excellent narrator excellent story"
EGD is one of the best narrators I've heard...and quite the author now so I understand.
"Excellent story"
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes military stories! Kept my attention the entire way, can't wait to see what happens next!
"Excellent book"
He reads well, and with style; however, in the whole series he mispronounces things that show that he was never in the military. The most glaring of these is when he is giving the specific times of 1000 hours (he calls it 1 thousand hours - should be 10 hundred) and 2000 hours (he calls it 2 thousand hours - should be 20 hundred). The other is the way he pronounces Fayetteville. Other than that, it is a great performance.

Re: 4/18: Failure to Launch
It seems to be working now. Nice update. Thank you for all the info and photos.
If anyone's been interested in seeing what Al looks like, there's a photo of him in this update.
Re: 4/18: Failure to Launch
Well, all I can say is that it was worth the wait. Thanks Al for a fantastic update, and I'm glad you enjoyed your deserved break. Not so happy about reports of Tarzan though... but that's for another time.
Anyway, some points I'd like to address;
* I really am quite gutted about what RockIt Mountain has become. This sounded so promising - I would rather not have it at all then have a shell of what it could be.
* As always, I'm ecstatic about the present and the future of the Disneyland Resort, as a whole. It really is where it should be - the jewel in the crown of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
* I am shocked at the involvement of Disneyland Entertainment with the Pirates thingy - I am happy, but just shocked! The streetmosphere characters sound really fun, and don't get me started on the Columbia show! Wow!
* I'm annoyed at Jerry Bruckheimer. As Al said, the Pirates trilogy would be nothing without the attraction - and it's only a name after all.
* I'm bittersweet about the changes at Epcot - I am looking forward to previewing the sub technology before Disneylanders, but not so much knowing that it has been cut down.
* Not impressed at all with Midway Mania. I don't know, but a Pixar shoot-em-up is just too familiar...
* I whooped with delight when I read about Greg Emmer and Mary Niven. The best story I have read for ages.
* I am still frustrated with the low standards that Disneyland Resort cast members work with. If the local Starbucks pays more, what does that say about the prestige of Disneyland? I have read stories about people dying to work at Disneyland in the 50s-70s, and I feel this is a major factor in creating the glamorous image that Disneyland has. I go to Disney parks expecting fantastic service - you don't get that with unhappy CMs, especially with CMs who deserve to be unhappy. It still seems silly in the face of all the dollars flooding into TDA... but then a lot is being spent on resort improvements as well.
* Again, thanks for a great update.BACKPACKING REALNESS

Re: 4/18: Failure to Launch
Great article, Al. Great to have you back.
Given the hurdles in the changeover from Space Mountain to Rockit Mountain on a daily basis, I'm relieved they seem to be bagging the Rockit Mountain idea.
Also, I'm glad Bruckheimer is being selfish with the Black Pearl (although I've been told it's bad to be selfish), I'd rather have the ride with the Wicked Wench and just a wink and a nod to the movies.

Re: 4/18: Failure to Launch
Great Article AL, Thank you.
In a way I'm not surprised at Rockit Mountain getting cut down. It seemed like there could have been more done for the Space Mt. In general, not just Rockit Mt.
Unbelieveable what's happening with the employment problems at DLR. This is going to bite them really bad, as it is already.

Re: 4/18: Failure to Launch
Thanks for the update Al. Looks like you had fun in Russia, da? Is very good comrade! Thanks for sharing your pictures.
I don't think it's so much Jerry Bruckheimer's ego as it is his sense of nostalgia. Of course, it makes little sense for Barbossa to show up on the Wicked Wench...or does it? What ship is he captaining now that Jack is captaining the Black Pearl? Or does the ride take place during the first movie? Or is it a separate vignette? These are all very good questions that can't be answered...or can they? Sorry, where was I?
Oh yeah! On to labor problems. The labor problems Disneyland is going through is mostly based on their unwillingness to pay the same or better wages as Starbucks and In-N-Out (as you so graciously pointed out). This is the same thing occurring with businesses all over America with the illegal immigrant debate. Every politician from D.C. to Sacramento is spouting that nonsense line about "illegal immigrants doing jobs Americans won't do," but they forget to recognize that we won't do those jobs for the bull crap wages that illegal immigrants are getting...especially when they get more money working at Starbucks and In-N-Out!!!! It's all connected! I'm not a conspiracy theorist!
Thanks again for the update, Al. Welcome home.

Re: 4/18: Failure to Launch
Thanks for the update Al!
I'm really happy to hear about Rockit Mountain being put on the back burner (for the time being). I LOVE Space Mountain, and turning it into a cheapo Rockn Roller Coaster with Van Halen ... lame lame lame.

Re: 4/18: Failure to Launch
Wonderful update Al, thank you, as always!
Quite a mixed bag this week. Despite being a rabid fan of POTC the movie, and being pro-ride change, I'm worried about the NOS changes outlined in the update. I don't want to see my favorite land in Disneyland turned into a bastion for renfaire-like husker performances! Hopefully it will all be treated very tastefully, but I'll reserve judgement until I see it for myself.
Like Cherny, I'm glad Rock-It Mountain will be delayed, and I'm actually hoping the whole thing gets nixed. Space is fabulous the way it is, the changes made in 2005 are wonderful and still fresh. And Van Halen? What is this, 1984?
I also still hold out hope that PlaceMaking will be a success and DCA will stop being the proverbial red-headed step child of the Resort.
Lots of info to mull over.

Re: 4/18: Failure to Launch
Great update, Al! That's a good pic of you on page four. You're so very ellusive in the MC realm, it's interesting to see this.
The best news from this update, without a doubt, has to be the Rock-it Mountain delays! I'm reminded of another fiasco where things were not planned out well enough, monies were not allocated correctly, and the end result was disaster:
DCA-- those pesky Rocket Rods. Is it a coincidence that both have Rocket in the title? Of course, but I'd hate to see Space get ruined because some TDA exec wanted to hear Van Halen in the dark with strobe lights. We have other venues for that, thanks!
Re: 4/18: Failure to Launch
I am also very worried about this NoS "layover". What does it mean??? Pirates decorations all over or only in the shops? And im VERY worried that this new Ent. is going to takeover ALL NoS Ent. and push stuff like the bands and street preformeres in the back. And what about HM?? WHy cant we get like a HM storyteller or MORE HM Merch.???

Martins Classic Announces "Alexander Skills Challenge," DJ Monumental Shot, Boxing Ring, Jousting Arena and Combine Fitness Tests at 10th Anniversary of 3on3!
The Martins Classic 3on3 announced today that it has teamed up with Elmont activist Christopher "Queek" Alexander, BET's DJ Monumental, local Superstar Boxers: Herve "Haitian Sensation" Duroseau, Tyrone "Pretty Boy" James, Titus "God Gifted" Williams, as well as the Elmont Dance Team, PAGE31 Magazine, AB-Solute Fusion and Valencia Gym in a series of basketball, fitness, boxing and healthy lifestyle challenges at the Senator Jack Martins Classic 3on3 Tournament. Highlighting the Fitness and Skills Challenges The 10th anniversary of the tournament is being played on Saturday, July 13th at the Dutch Broadway School. The tip-off for the 10th anniversary of the tournament is at 10am.
"The excitement is building for the 3on3 tournament. The special events and challenges are truly incredible and a lot of fun," said Senator Jack Martins noting, "each of the challenges is led by a group of superstars and community minded individuals that care about young people and make a difference in our neighborhoods each and every day." Senator Martins also announced that Jordan Dangerfield of the Buffalo Bills will also be attending the tournament coming home to Elmont for the 10th anniversary of the tournament.
The Christopher "Queek" Alexander Basketball Skills Challenge and 'Monumental Shot' challenge teams local athletes led by community leader Christopher "Queek" Alexander and DJ Monumental of BETs 106 and Park television show. The challenge tests the skills of participants highlighted by a clinic for elementary school children from 1st grade through high school. "Success is within reach and every great dream begins with a dreamer. The Skills Challenge encourages kids of all ages to follow their passion and overcome obstacles they may face. Participants will test their skills and learn how to play the game that so many love," said Chrisopher "Queek" Alexander.
As part of the challenge, colleges throughout the country have got into the act by teaming with Senator Martins by promoting their schools with incentive prizes to participants. Colleges ranging from DUKE, Villanova, LSU, University of Miami right to hometown schools like Hofstra are part of the skills challenge according to Alexander.
"It's a real honor to be a part of Senator Martins' tournament two years in a row. This year will be action packed and will include an exciting competition we have entitled the, "Monumental Shot." This is one shot you won't want to miss. From elementary school right through college and beyond, this is a day of community and fun," said 106 and Park Television Star DJ Monumental.
As part of the Monumental Shot, Senator Martins and Senator Skelos have teamed up with the Elmont Memorial High School Girl's Dance team. The team will open up the "Monumental Shot Competition" with a series of dance numbers on the court. "The Elmont Dance team is very excited to be a part of the Martins Classic 3on3 Tournament. The Skills Challenge and Monumental Shot are going to be very exciting and a highlight of the tournament. Opening up for DJ Monumental is a real honor for the team and we thank Senator Martins for making this happen," said Tamera Canning, Co-Captain of the Elmont Dance Team.
Another exciting addition is a boxing arena sponsored by the Elmont West Club where local boxing greats Herve Duroseau, Tyrone James and Titus Williams will officiate and give pointers to boxing enthusiasts in an inflatable arena with specialized oversized gloves. "Boxing is a passion for all of us and when we had the opportunity to pass on some skills and work with our young people it was a chance that the Elmont West Club couldn't pass up," said Herve Duroseau.
A fitness test will also put locals to the test sponsored by PAGE31 Magazine, Valencia Gym and AB-Solute Fusion founder Lanceleot Theobald. "The combine bench press challenge is a real exciting addition to the 3on3. Valencia Gym is very proud to be part of the challenge that will put our local athletes to the test," said Lenny Vannatta. "Page31 is very proud to be a part of this positive community event that unites generations of Elmont families. The annual competitive fitness challenge is a great first step in promoting healthy lifestyles and positive choices and is just the beginning of our commitment to the community," said founder Gregory Calvaire.
Last but not least, the Slam Dunk and Three Point Shoot-Out is ready for action. "The Dunk contest will be an epic showdown," said Co-Chairperson Nachbi Lacossiere. Co-Chair Timothy Jean added, "Over the years, I've seen electrifying, ground shaking dunks that have amazed the audience. This event unites our community and encourages, fuels and loves one another in wholesome competition"

We can't fault the council for trying to lure businesses here. However, we urge them to take a long, hard look at the value provided by the company before extending the contract beyond the year just approved.
