The downfall of Warren Jeffs began long before Texas raid
LValfre CHICAGO, ILAug. 11, 2011 9:28 a.m.
It has a lot to do with LDS. Warren Jeffs is following the original LDS teachings. It's the 'fundamental' LDS. So it's very relevant. Today's church doesn't teach these things but in Joseph Smith's time, this is what he taught and his followers practiced. I'm not saying rape or anything, just marriage to multiple (and often very young) women.
RivertonCoug Herriman, UTAug. 11, 2011 8:19 a.m.
Glad to see Jeffs put away for life. My concern with the story is that some of it makes it sound like this is over. The 400 children returned to their parents face a dangerous future. Jeffs was not the only one marrying 12 year old girls. These children are in danger and I hope Texas can stop this abuse.
windsor City, UtAug. 10, 2011 6:00 p.m.
I am puzzled at members of the LDS community, on one hand constantly reminding and affirming that Warren Jeffs and his group have nothing to do with the LDS Church -- and on the other, making Jeffs the top story every day, on every channel and every front page. If he has nothing to do with LDS, why the inordinate amount of attention??? It certainly isn't the top story outside of Utah
firstamendment Lehi, UTAug. 10, 2011 5:34 p.m.
Two female FLDS missionaries knocked on my door before Jeffs era. They were bold, independent, had normal hair, and were thinking just as freely as many of today's misinformed college students.
One said she chose not to be a polygamist but believed in it as a principle, the other said she WANTED to be a polygamist. I don't believe we have a right to arrest her for that, but I don't think we should show our support by legally condoning polygamy etc through marriage.
The idea that all polygamist women were oppressed, blind fanatics is prejudice.
Polygamist women were some of Americas first female Doctors, Lawyers, voters, etc.
Things weren't always as they are.
I support prop08 and other constitutions which discourage polygamy, child marriages (one WOMAN one man), and other harmful marriages.
I wish we would pursue other sexual predators, pedophiles, and seducing pressuring deviants with such vigor.
However, I feel it's wrong and bigoted to lump all polygamists into the same category and to use people like Jeffs to promote hatred toward mainstream LDS and religion in general.
guswetrust Cebterville, UtahAug. 10, 2011 4:35 p.m.
I'd love to know how many of the FLDS wives and children in Texas receive Medicaid. Someone said in yesterdays comments they get it from Utah. How can that be if they reside in Texas?
NewsJunkie Centerville, UTAug. 10, 2011 2:06 p.m.
Don't just put the blame an law enforcement in UT and AZ for this to be going on for so long. In case you have forgotten, we have a constitution in this country that prevents law enforcement to come into peoples houses and start arresting them without probable cause. The problem with the FLDS people is that they avoid contact with the outside and therefore don't go to the police and report any abuse.
The only reason why Texas was able to convict Jeff's is, that they went into the compound on the base of a hoax and then found all the evidence. There is still a lawsuite pending, which could overturn all this, if the evidence will be ruled unlawfull.
These cases are very difficult to win. Utah convicted Jeff's on rape as an accomplice but the conviction was later overturned on a "stupid" technicality. The same could happen to this case.

Independent Henderson, NVAug. 10, 2011 11:51 a.m.
"There is no question that enough has been said by past leaders that it seems a strong possibility."
I don't see how it is a strong possibility based on statements by past leaders. The current leaders have not said or implied anything about polygamy coming back, and that's really all that matters.
There would have to be a very good reason to reinstate polygamy. Personally, I don't see myself accepting the practice unless there was a very clear and practical reason to do so, like if there was such an extreme shortage of men in the world to necessitate men taking on additional wives in order to provide for a population of women who were somehow incapable of caring for themselves and/or masses of women unable to receive the blessings of temple marriage absent the practice of polygamy. Those conditions just don't exist today, and even if they did, I would want to avoid having to engage in polygamy if at all possible. It's hard to know for certain how I would feel about it in the absence of the necessary conditions. I'm glad it's not an issue for me in the here and now.
J-TX Allen, TXAug. 10, 2011 11:13 a.m.
My Great-Great Grandmother was a polygamous wife (2nd) to my G-G-Grandfather. She bore him 4 children, then fell in love with another man. They were granted a temple dissolution of sealing, and she married the other man, having other children. Her first 4 children remained with her 1st husband and his 1st wife, to be raised as theirs. In later years she lived the role of Grandmother to the children of those 4. Polygamy agreed upon by all parties - 1st wife, the 2nd wife and her parents, etc.
If God were to tell the LDS Prophet today to reinstate polygamy, in today's society it could easily be done, with sealings in the Temple, but not legal (state) marriages, the law of the land notwithstanding. And assuming all parties were of age, the Law could really not do much about sex between consenting adults. Of course, it would lack the predatory nature of the FLDS plural marriage.
I don't think it will happen, but it could. My wife has already told me she would not permit it, thank heaven, so I don't have to worry about it. What about the rest of you active LDS Priesthood holders? Thoughts?
Kami Bountiful, UtahAug. 10, 2011 10:05 a.m.
I think that Warren Jeffs and his followers behaviors are very telling as to why the LDS church has scripture that God will never allow a Prophet to lead the members of the church astray. Without that promise from God I could see many many members following a prophet who may decide to take up residence with Satan. Not saying that LDS prophets have done this. Just saying that you will find mindless followers everywhere.
LDS Liberal Farmington, UTAug. 10, 2011 8:49 a.m.
Speeding?, Illegal Immigration??, Polygamy???
Law Enforcement is a joke in Utah.
Old Scarecrow Brigham City, UTAug. 10, 2011 7:02 a.m.
Everyone is quick to be critical of the inaction of Utah and Arizona authorities. Other states including Nevada, Idaho, and Montana have the problem, as well, and they have not taken much action. There are reasons for this besides the generally false claim that law enforcement and the attorneys general don't care about the problem.
I have a great concern that if Jeffs is assigned quality attorneys for his appeals, his convictions may be in jeopardy, as the first warrants in Texas had a shaky origin. So, yes, let's put the heat on Hillsdale and Colorado City and the other communities now while the publicity is hot, and the opportunity and evidence is clear, but law enforcement must make sure that the ACLU and the Supreme Court don't have any reasons to undo what is being done.
The Deuce Livermore, CAAug. 9, 2011 10:56 p.m.
My question is when will the states of Utah and Arizona finnaly put an end to this situation. These are kids that are being subjected to this type of abuse. As many have pointed out, not only is Jeffs to blame, but there is an entire society here that needs help and correction. This is not freedom of religion when individual rights are being abused. How Utah and other states let this continue is beyond my understanding.
IDmom Murray, UTAug. 9, 2011 9:27 p.m.
Utahns are not racists. Individuals might be. I know plenty of other racist people outside of Utah. And the LDS church had nothing to with him. He gives the Mormons a real bad name. He is a part of the FLDS church which does not follow the true doctrine of the LDS church.
rpn ANCHORAGE, AKAug. 9, 2011 9:22 p.m.
Yeah, John...actually, it turns out that Krackaur was not only not a liar, but at least two juries have rendered concurring opinions..Krackaur was clear to separate the Greater LDS church and population of believers from those who committed brutal crimes "under the banner of Heaven", the so-called "fundamentalist" off-shoots like the Jeffs (Father and Son), the Lafferty brothers, and other closely-held "fundamentalist" communities in the US. Except some historical background, he had very little to about the LDS church itself. But, as to your concerns about parental responsibility, I imagine that there is no shortage of blame to go around here, and now that the ice is broken,you should expect the number of prosecutions for this kind of criminal and despicable enterprise. In other words, the party is most likely over for the religious pedophiles, and Krackauer, once again, deserves a seat on the podium for bring the stories of the victims to an audience outside of the realm of this "open secret", for ripping the cloak of religious sanctimony from the actual activities at hand, serial child rape. Kudos, Jon...
hairypatches Hurricane, UTAug. 9, 2011 8:59 p.m.
The legal focus needs to change to the mothers and fathers that gave those children to Jeffs and others. There is a host of perpetrators in addition to Warren Jeffs. Utah and Arizona needs to review the plethora of evidence in Texas and track down and prosecute everyone one of them.
It's all there folks!
The AG's better hadn't be satisfied with just a few men. Now is the time to act and they need to act now before the trail gets cold and public support wains. Please send the message that this behavior is a crime so heinous that we will never tolerate it in any arena.
My feeling is that when children are affected for life like this, it ought to be a capital offense. Change the law so there can be an appropriate punishment for those that destroy children's lives.
John Pack Lambert of Michigan Ypsilanti, MIAug. 9, 2011 7:19 p.m.
Jon Krakauer is a liar. His book is a useless screed against the LDS Church. Beyond this his book is about the Lefferty's who were prosecuted for their crimes back in the 1980s. He deserves no credit for creating any pressure on Jeffs.
His book is full of lies and false insinuations. His claims about the racial poliices of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were false in 2003 and are even more false today.
John Pack Lambert of Michigan Ypsilanti, MIAug. 9, 2011 7:17 p.m.
The claims of "one-man rule" do not hold up under scrutiny. The system has continued without Jeffs present. Beyond this the article under-emphasiszes the responsibility of parents in the sexual use of their children. It is time for people to give up on the "blame one person" plan and to start blaming each person involved for their own crimes. Jeffs is not responsible for the actions of all these other people, they are accountable for their own actions.
Idaho Coug Meridian, IdahoAug. 9, 2011 7:11 p.m.
I have wondered on this board what Mormons would do if and when plural marriage were reinstated? There is no question that enough has been said by past leaders that it seems a strong possibility. And our temple sealing policies make it clear the principles behind plural marriage survive.
But I have to think now that the publicity around this case combined with the huge push for acceptance and downplaying of the the more difficult aspects of the Church means that we probably don't have to worry about adding any additions on to our homes anytime soon.
Given that, I would love to see the Church stop allowing men to be sealed to multiple women upon death or divorce of a previous spouse. If we are going to shed the spector of polygamy let's not do it with one foot in and one foot out. Oh, and removing those pesky parts in the D&C about plural marriage would go a long way toward walking the talk too.
Spot Light Beverly Hills, CAAug. 9, 2011 6:16 p.m.
Why did he get away with it for so long?
We need to explore that and prevent this from continuing.
Yes its still going on hither and tither, no?
Making Sense Herriman, UTAug. 9, 2011 5:47 p.m.
Amazing how people use the comments on Warren Jeffs to rail comments toward the LDS Church and try to paint Utah as racist. Stay focused people.
This was a day of justice a long time in the making. It is unfortunate that it took this long but I'm glad that the process worked. I'm satisfied that this manipulative predator will not be able to exploit any more people who placed their trust in him.

Richie Saint George, UTAug. 9, 2011 3:06 p.m.
Good riddance to bad rubbish.
MR Draper, UTAug. 9, 2011 2:46 p.m.
The entire thing is sad. Feel terrible for the victims. Nothing breaks my heart more than child abuse.
Jeffs grew up in this culture so his perception of normal and appropriate was certainly distorted, but he obviously knew what he was doing was wrong. Certainly a case of polygamy being practiced in the Bible could be made, but group sex with kids (and to do it in the name of God no less).
If the millstone would be preferable, it scares me to think what awaits...
Free Agency Salt Lake City, UTAug. 9, 2011 2:08 p.m.
It's always tempting to focus purely on the dictator, whether Jeffs, Hitler, etc. But without a multitude of "ordinary people" followers, dictators can't commit the evil they do. In some cases, of course, terror is used to instill obedience. But in many other cases, the masses willingly--and happily--give their support.
Now that Jeffs has been put away, we need to turn our attention to the psychology of people (maybe even including ourselves?) who can abandon all their former standards and unquestioningly follow an evildoer. I can think of no better book which explains this phenomenon than "The True Believer" by Eric Hoffer. It's long been considered a classic, and it's a slim and very "plain English" read.
Certainly, let's hunt down and deactivate the "front link" in the chain of evil. But let's never shrug off the rest of the chain, and why they behave the way they do. Because to not understand what makes these people tick will only ensure such evil happening again and again and again.
David B. Cedar City, UTAug. 9, 2011 1:46 p.m.
Poetic justice for this tool! Utah may not have gotten the job done but Texas sure in the heck did,way to go! I hope he is going to like the Huntsville facility because they are definately going to like him if you know what I mean. Anybody that thinks like this is not stable and shouldn't be allowed to roam free,
rpn ANCHORAGE, AKAug. 9, 2011 1:37 p.m.
I was a little surprised to see read this entire story without crediting Jon Krakauer who arguably brought this "open secret" into the national debate with his 2003 best-selling book, Under the Banner of Heaven, which very clearly and with exceptional detail framed the case against Mr. Jeffs and others like him. Law enforcement had every opportunity previously to charge Mr. Jeffs, but only mobilized against these practioners of child rape after public opinion and outcry was mobilized. Mr. Krakauer deserves a great deal of credit and thanks for his fine efforts.
IHeartMusic Mendocino, CAAug. 9, 2011 1:27 p.m.
Old Warren shouldn't have gone to Texas. In Texas, God's apostles wear a Texas Ranger badge and carry a Colt 45.
Utah, take note. Texas got 'er done!!!
IHeartMusic Mendocino, CAAug. 9, 2011 1:06 p.m.
his sister, elaine, was just on in sessions. she said he's been doing this for 30 years. not 10 to 15. i'm not buying it was a big secret!! why didn't anyone step in? other family members who weren't part of it but knew. members of the lds church knew. law enforcement knew. but no one stopped him until now. pitiful.

NorthWest Initiative NorthWest Initiative
Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
Through community engagement and mobilization, NWI advances the development of healthy, vibrant communities by building capacity to identify needs and formulate strategies to create change.
The NorthWest Initiative (NWI) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization working to develop healthy communities in Lansing's "river island" -- the area bounded on the north, east, and south by the Grand River.
The NWI supports an ongoing developmental process with three main components: visioning, planning, and action. Phase I of this process began in May 2000, when approximately 150 community members gathered for the NorthWest Neighborhood Summit and identified eleven recommendations for strengthening and sustaining healthy communities in the area. In June, the NWI was launched with the formation of five Working Groups and a coordinating team. During the fall of 2000, Working Groups translated Summit recommendations into program proposals, which were compiled into an Action Plan in January 2001. Since then, partners have helped to develop a number of the programs proposed in the Action Plan.
Phase II of the visioning, planning, and action process was re-initiated in the fall of 2002 with Community Issues Surveys and Forums, which were used to find out how residents want to improve their community. Three Working Groups (1. Housing, 2. Commercial and Economic Development, and 3. Targeted Comprehensive Development) met in the first half of 2003 and created 2003 Action Plans based on survey and forum results. The NorthWest Initiative is working with residents and partners to advocate for the proposed policies and develop the proposed programs in each of the three 2003 Working Group Action Plans.
Phase III of the visioning, planning, and action process began in the summer of 2004 with door-to-door surveys of nearly 900 households in NorthWest Lansing. Programming will be adapted or created to address priorities identified through the surveys.

Here is the thing about me and?porn: in junior high I went through a porn addiction phase where I would stay up late and watch strange, European lesbian porn that a) made me think I might be gay, and b) made me forever terrified of cucumbers, but the older I got, the more turned off I got from the porn industry. The more I read and watched, the more I realized how negative it was and that I was kind of disgusted by it. Not to be a judgemental bitch, I just think it exploits a lot of the people, primarily the women, involved.
So, at this point in my life, I can honestly say I don't have a whole lot of respect for porn companies, how they're ran, etc. But why am I telling you this? Well, because now you understand that I think the porn industry is shit, which means Farrah Abraham must be worse than shit, because in the Farrah vs. Vivid Entertainment battle, I'm actually siding with Vivid. That's right: Farrah Abraham is so fucking awful, I'm choosing sides with a porn company. Ugh.
As many of you know (I assume you know if you're on this site), tragic fame whore, Farrah, made some preeeeetttty serious allegations against Vivid Entertainment, claiming that she was "drugged and raped" several times while on tour promoting her "not a porno" sex tape. Vivid fired back by being all "shut the fuck up skank." Well, not really, but they did offer her $1 million dollars to take a lie detector test.
Of course, saying the words "lie detector test" to Farrah is like flashing a cross at a vampire; that bitch hissed and went into hiding. So yeah, surprise surprise, no lie detector test took place. So now, Vivid has sent her a "shut the fuck up" a.k.a. a cease and desist letter, which reads:
We have become aware that you have made unsubstantiated and baseless implications and allegations of wrongdoing against Vivid. In particular, you have publicly [sic] stated that you were drugged and raped more than once while on tour for Vivid promoting Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom. These statements are defamatory toward Vivid and are strenuously denied in all respects. It is disappointing that you have once again chosen to pursue conduct that frustrates your duty of good faith and fair dealing in our contract concerning your performance as an adult actress for Vivid. ACCORDINGLY, WE HEREBY PUT YOU ON NOTICE TO CEASE AND DESIST FROM ANY FURTHER DEFAMATORY ACTIONS AGAINST VIVID AS WELL AS ALL CONDUCT IN BREACH OF OUR CONTRACT. Vivid Reserves to right to pursue any and all available legal remedies.
I may think that Vivid exploits people, but those people get into the porn industry knowing what it is, it's their own life choice, I guess. Farrah, by obviously lying about being drugged and raped, is just being an outright piece of shit and I'll back anyone who calls her ass out, even if it is a greasy porn company.
Countless women get drugged and raped FOR REAL, and Farrah is using something so devastating and serious for more attention and publicity because bitch is a fame junkie. It's disgusting.
She's also a stupid bitch because now that she's pulled this shit on Vivid, does she really think any other porn company is going to want to work with her? Who's going to distribute your next sex tape, dumbass?! I just can't with this girl. I. JUST. CAN'T. This is literally how I look right now:

Patrice Evra set for Monaco return if Manchester United sign Leighton Baines
Manchester United's Patrice Evra is understood to be ready to consider the idea of a move back to Monaco if his club's initial bid for Leighton Baines materialises into a move which leaves the Frenchman on the sidelines.
United's first bid is understood to have been tabled some time ago and with a second bid likely after David Moyes has officially taken up work at the club next week, Evra, who is entering the final year of his current United contract, could find himself pushed behind the Englishman and could be attracted by the idea of a return to the club he left in in 2006 to join United in £5.5m deal.
For now, Evra is unmoved by the Baines bid and considers himself a United player. But he knows the position may change and Monaco could be a possible next location. Despite their prolific spending in the market this summer, the newly promoted Ligue 1 side are yet to sign the pedigree left back they need in their push for Champions League qualification.
Evra was not given a new contract by United last season, though players over the age of 30 sometimes operate on a rolling 12-month deals, when they come to the end of a contract. Evra's French agent declined to discuss yesterday whether the player might be influenced to seek a return to Monaco if Baines does arrive.
It is understood that there are likely to be no further developments on the Baines bid until next week, when the players of both clubs report back for training on Wednesday. Everton may seek to drive a hard bargain, though United do have bigger priorities this summer. Evra was restored to good form last season, responding well to the arrival of Dutch understudy Alex Buttner, which means the left back berth is by no means a crisis position. That could prove to be a key factor in negotiations, if Everton chairman Bill Kenwright holds out for a premium price well above £15m.
Though Everton do not need to let Baines go, they could be in a quandary if he makes it clear to them that he does want to move to Old Trafford. His ambition to command a regular England starting spot ahead of Ashley Cole in a World Cup year could persuade him to ask for the chance to head to United and gain Champions League experience.
United have convened a meeting for next week between Moyes, a senior executive, Wayne Rooney and his representatives, to discuss the striker's future. It is unclear whether, as seems possible, the meeting will take place on Monday or Tuesday, before the players return to training.

Everyone loves Garth Ennis' nihilistic take on the superhero genre with "The Boys", and I gotta admit, I loved it too — for the first 10 issues or so. I then got bored and moved on. After all, you can only take so much random killing and cussing before it gets tedious. You know who also loves it, though? "A Nightmare on Elm Street" reboot director Samuel Bayer, who has already expressed interest in directing a live-action movie version of the comic in the past. In a recent interview, Bayer seems resigned to the fact that he won't get the chance, and throws out another name that, to put it bluntly, seems completely out of left field:
"It's so funny, I would die to do that comic book. From what I've heard from the producers on the movie is that Adam McKay is doing it. He did Anchorman, I guess. The studio is really hot on him and…" After Bayer paused for a second, he did drop the fact that if Nightmare performs well, maybe he could be the one to helm this fantastic series, "Let's have the movie come out this weekend and do really well. Then we'll see how my stock is in Hollywood."
Adam McKay? Comedic director of "Step Brothers", "Anchorman", and the upcoming "The Other Guys"? I'd like to see how this guy handles action first, even in an action-comedy like "The Other Guys", before I can even imagine him tackling a wild free-for-all like "The Boys".

Chuck Loose likes to talk about punk rock. Already a fast talker by nature, when the subject comes up, the words fly even faster, delivered with the kind of enthusiasm born of passion and conviction. He was only four years old when the first punk records were released in 1976, yet Loose is well versed in the music's past, from celebrated icons such as the Ramones to the somewhat obscure Pagans, a brilliantly ratty early-era band from Cleveland. Loose is also doing what he can for the music's future, as a contributor to South Florida punk 'zines such as Rational Inquirer, as well as to the glob-ally distributed Maximumrocknroll, the self-proclaimed Holy Bible of punk rock (he has a Florida Scene Report in this month's issue). He also silk-screens T-shirts for local bands. And when he's not writing, silk-screening, or working at a Fort Lauderdale graphics company, Loose plays drums for the Crumbs, a snarling Fort Lauderdale quartet that specializes in primal power chords and slurred, raspy vocals delivered over a crushing 4/4 beat.
Since they formed three years ago, the Crumbs have released a handful of indie-label singles and EPs, and are about to undertake a month-long trek across the U.S. Along the way they'll stop at Sonic Iguana studio in Lafayette, Indiana, to record their debut album for the Berkeley-based Lookout Records, former home of Green Day and current roost for the Queers, Pansy Division, and the Mr. T Experience, among others. "They just liked us and decided to do a record with us," Loose says of the Lookout deal, which in addition to a long-player includes two singles, all of which are scheduled to be released next January. "We were on one of their compilations [A Slice of Lemon], so it kind of came out of that."
Before the winter onslaught of Lookout material, the Crumbs will be paired for a split EP with Miami's Stun Guns, to be released by the Torrance, California, label Recess. Titled You Don't Take a Knife to a Gunfight, the disc arrives on the heels of the Crumbs' Get All Tangled Up EP (on the Fort Lauderdale label Far Out) and features five roaring Crumbs cuts: four originals written by the band and a cover of "Communist Radio," the cult classic by first-run Miami punks the Eat, whose straightforward, twin-guitar sound echoes throughout the Crumbs' originals.
"We stick pretty much to simple, three-chord punk rock," Loose states proudly. "That's basically what we're into -- real simple rock and roll, like the Ramones, Chuck Berry, the Pagans. I think punk rock has twisted and turned in so many ways and I appreciate it all, but our stuff is basic. Compared to Cavity or Los Canadians, we're pretty formulaic," he adds, nodding to a pair of Miami punk outfits Loose describes as "fucking amazing."
Actually, the Crumbs are more derivative than formulaic. Like the Stun Guns, the band works solely within the confines of the most basic and raw old-school punk: On Tangled and Gunfight, you'll hear traces of everyone from the Vibrators and Stiff Little Fingers to the Ramones and Radio Birdman. Throughout, guitarist/vocalist Raf Luna affects a voice that's more South London than South Florida, and the group's lyric concerns range from boozing ("Whether I Win or Lose") to brooding ("Monica's on Her Own . . . Again"). Guitarist Johnny Bee keeps his leads as simple as the crude, pummeling rhythms of Loose and bassist Emil Busse.

"We aren't like a professional, tight band," Loose states matter-of-factly. "It's only been over the last couple years that a core of bands in South Florida has developed who play punk rock and don't give a shit about being pros. Before you'd have these bands like Load who weren't playing [all-ages shows] and were all concerned about being professional and becoming the next big thing and making lots of money at it. Now, though, you've got bands and kids who are more concerned with getting a decent punk scene together, making something happen. It used to be a real loose group of only 40 or so kids. Now there's people coming out of the woodwork."
Loose attributes the audience increase to the mainstream popularity of groups such as Green Day, the Offspring, and Rancid, who over the past few years have followed Nirvana in establishing punk as a commercially viable genre. Loose embraces this recent development, albeit with some reluctance. "It's kind of weird," he admits. "This is our culture and our lifestyle. It's the way we live every day, and that's not something you want to see commercialized. But I think it's really helped inspire a lot of kids. Now you have a lot of open-minded kids at the shows and all these bands like Against All Authority and Stun Guns and places like Cheers that let them play. Part of a healthy punk scene is having new people coming in and bringing new points of view. Otherwise it just gets stagnant and boring."
New Times is looking for a few good writers. Latin music writers, that is. Specifically, writers who can put together entertaining and well-written features, reviews, and essays covering the ins and outs of the city's Latin music scene. Solid English-writing skills are a must, and it would really help if you're bilingual. We need someone who can write with clarity, authority, and insight about the wide range of Latino sounds: from young rock en espa*ol acts to Afro-Cuban jazz legends both past and present. In other words, the deeper your music knowledge, the better.
If this is you, prove it. Send your three best clips -- in English, please -- along with a resume and some story ideas to my attention at New Times, Box 011591, Miami, FL 33101. I'll send back your clips if you enclose a stamped and self-addressed envelope; otherwise your stuff will be filed away in a very special place. And please, please, I beg of one and all, no phone calls. Thank you.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5 (UPI) -- The White House reversed itself Thursday, saying President Obama had met his Kenyan uncle despite officials telling reporters he had not.
Speaking to reporters, White House press secretary Jay Carney said that when the White House told the news media in 2011 Obama had never met his uncle, no one had asked the president whether that was true.
"Back when this arose, folks looked at the record, including the president's book, and there was no evidence that they had met," Carney said. "And that was what was conveyed. Nobody spoke to the president.
"When Omar Obama said the other day and -- there were reports that he had said the other day that President Obama, back when he was a law school student, had stayed with him in Cambridge [Mass.], I thought it was the right thing to do to go ask him. Nobody had asked him in the past, and the president said that he in fact had met Omar Obama when he moved to Cambridge for [Harvard] law school and that he stayed with him for a brief period of time until his, the president's, apartment was ready.
That wasn't the only contact, Carney said.
"After that they saw each other once every few months while the president was in Cambridge, and then after law school they gradually fell out of touch," he told reporters. "The president has not seen Omar Obama in 20 years, and has not spoken with him in roughly 10 years."
The Boston Globe reported Onyango (Omar) Obama's "immigration case raised numerous concerns about a potential conflict of interest after his arrest in August 2011 for drunken driving in Framingham [Mass.]. The arrest revealed his outstanding deportation orders and his relationship to the president.
"Shortly after his arrest, he told an officer, 'I think I will call the White House,'" the Globe said.
Carney told reporters Thursday no officials had intervened in the uncle's successful challenge to his deportation.

NAPLES -- Ave Maria University, the nation's first Roman Catholic university in four decades, aims to be different.
Only months into its first year, the university has outlined plans to build a prairie-style campus surrounding a gleaming, towering church -- expected to be among the nation's largest -- while offering a liberal arts education that remains faithful to the church's teachings.
The school befits the example set by founder Thomas Monaghan, who has pledged $240 million of his fortune amassed from Domino's Pizza to build the campus and another $300 million to establish an endowment.
"The bottom line is to help people get to heaven," said Monaghan, the founder of the pizza chain and a former owner of the Detroit Tigers. "And I feel the best way to do that as a Catholic is to help strengthen the Catholic church."
Administrators say the school, which is not tied to any religious order or diocese, could offer an alternative to some Catholic colleges and universities that have become more secular. It represents one of the few Catholic institutions to open since the reforms of the 1962-65 Second Vatican Council, which helped modernize the church.
"I think a kind of culture of questioning and dissent arose and there was a loss of confidence among the Catholic hierarchy, the Catholic priesthood and the Catholic intellectuals. I think the pendulum is now swinging back," said Nicholas Healy, the university's president.
"There is a regaining of confidence in the church teaching, in the tremendous legacy of the Catholic intellectual life over the centuries," he said.
The university's more conservative approach is representative of some Catholics who are more interested in keeping some of the observances practiced before the Second Vatican Council, said Monika Hellwig, president and executive director of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities.
Following Vatican II, "not everyone in the church wanted to go that fast and perhaps not everyone wanted to go in that direction and there have been considerable tensions ever since," Hellwig said.
Ave Maria opened its doors to more than 100 students in September on an interim campus originally intended as a retirement community. The cream-colored clubhouse serves as the main building, housing administrative offices, a cafeteria and a meeting room where classes and daily Mass are held.
Students said the total cost of under $18,000 a year for tuition, room and board and fees was more affordable than many Catholic colleges and described a "pioneer" spirit of attending a university during its first year. The school hopes to eventually enroll 5,000 students.
"Here you just grab a couple of other students who are interested in the idea and you can pretty much put together an intramural for the whole college because we're so small," said 23-year-old senior John Chilimigras, of Bay St. Louis, Miss., the school's first student body president.
Most of the students are devout Catholics. About half attend Mass every day and students, faculty and administrators pause three times a day when the campus' Angelus bell rings, signaling a time of prayer.
Last September, a group of students started holding nightly "rosary walks," proceeding around the campus while praying the rosary.
"It's awesome to be able to live your faith and also receive a good education at the same time," said Paul Schreiner, an 18-year-old freshman from Tiffin, Ohio.
The close attention to the faith has already drawn thousands of admirers. The school has 10 "Founders" clubs of supporters in Florida, Michigan, and Washington, D.C., and plans to open new organizations in Georgia and Texas this month.
During the past 18 months, Ave Maria has received contributions from about 25,000 donors, raising about $3 million. The school recently picked up pledges of $5 million apiece from John Donahue, chairman of Pittsburgh-based Federated Investors Inc., and an anonymous donor from New Orleans. Two others have pledged $1 million.
"Others recognize that bad things are happening in the church and that education is not what it has been and should be," said the Rev. Joseph Fessio, the university's chancellor. "So they see this as an opportunity to start something fresh and return to the roots."
At the center of the new campus will be the church, which Monaghan first sketched on a tablecloth during a meal at a Naples restaurant. The Oratory of Ave Maria will offer seating for more than 3,300 congregants, feature a 60-foot crucifix embedded into its facade and anchor the campus and surrounding community.
The church and campus, built between Naples and Immokalee, is expected to open in the summer of 2006. Another part of the project includes a town, also called Ave Maria, and a golf course.

The key theme for the Nike Zoom Stefan Janoski Mid this season is simplicity, as three new two-toned colorups join the original black/white with the debut of more intricately patterned lowtops right around the corner. Joining red/mint and black/neon midtops is another example of eye-catching texture, a Dark Obsidian Zoom Stefan Janoski Mid cast in suede and chambray with Digital Pink laces. The gum sole furthers the sense that while this is a relatively expressive colorway, its restrained composition is in line with the timeless style this silhouette represents, and you'll find them depicted further below before you grab a pair from shops like CCS.

At just 17, Raheem Sterling's rise to the top continues unabated, inspiring a comeback draw for Liverpool at the Stadium of Light on Saturday evening
After just three Premier League starts - and three substitute appearances last season - Raheem Sterling has already provided his first assist for Liverpool.
Which remains more than Stewart Downing has contributed in the Premier League since joining Liverpool, in 39 appearances.
Except it does not tell the full story, the assist may have been technically credited to Sterling, but Suarez only scored after the winger's cross resulted in a game of penalty box pinball.
Sterling's cross may have created the danger which led to the equaliser, but the real provider of the goal was the hapless Titus Bramble who sliced the ball back into Suarez' path.
The sequence of events unlined how just everything seems to be going right at the moment for Sterling, who was called into the England squad last week for the first time.
By contrast, Stewart Downing simply can't buy a piece of good fortune, from when he hit the bar on his debut against Sunderland on the first day of last season, to a missed penalty against Chelsea in May.
In total in his first season the winger hit the woodwork six times. Bad luck or bad finishing? You decide.
There has to be more to it than just luck, doesn't there? Sterling is full of confidence, and Downing appears to be bereft of it. Sterling makes things happen, is full of tricks, and is unpredictable for defenders, and Downing is simply more pedestrian.
Downing has likely already peaked, while Sterling's potential is limitless.
Yet Downing created 55 chances for Liverpool's chances last season, so he was doing something right, it can't all be put on him, and he has even said so himself.
In the final minute of the game at the weekend Downing floated in a corner, which Glen Johnson headed over. The way things are going right now, had Sterling crossed the ball in, Johnson would have buried home a winner.
How much time should Downing be afforded at Liverpool to get it right?

NICK Kyrgios's US Open upset of Russian Mikhail Youzhny has delivered the Australian teenager a glittering piece of tennis history — a superior first grand slam season to Roger Federer, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.
The Canberra firebrand's Flushing Meadows elimination of Youzhny gave Kyrgios his third seeded scalp at the slams, a tally bettered among contemporary greats only by Rafael Nadal at the same stage of his career.
ATP Tour's Emirates statistics illustrate the pure quality of Kyrgios's first complete season at the four majors and, tellingly, at almost exactly the same age as Nadal, Federer, Djokovic and Murray — the four men who have dominated tennis since 2005.
Having turned 19 between the Australian and French Open, Kyrgios' victims include world No.1 Nadal (seeded 2nd) and 13th seed Richard Gasquet (both at Wimbledon) and 21st seed Youzhny in New York.
Due to face Italian Andreas Seppi at the US Open, Kyrgios has the chance to better a career-best of reaching a major quarter-final.
When Federer, then also 19, completed his first full season in 2000, his best result was the fourth round of the French Open and his highest-ranked victim was No.38 Michael Chang.
The Swiss maestro has since compiled an unparalleled record of 17 majors.
Current world No.1 Djokovic's 2005 season was not as impressive as Kyrgios's.
Aged 19, Serb twice reached the third round with the highlight being US Open victory over world No.24 Mario Ancic.
Djokovic has since progressed to seven grand slam singles titles.
Well done @nickkyrgios @usopen Not easy being the next big thing, believe me I know!!— Pat Cash (@TheRealPatCash) August 25, 2014
Pleased to get through today @usopen it was very hot out there, I got a little hot headed. Apologies for the language & if I offended anyone— Nicholas Kyrgios (@NickKyrgios) August 26, 2014
All heat of the moment stuff, I can be emotional & I'm working to improve that. Most important thing was I controlled myself to go on & win.— Nicholas Kyrgios (@NickKyrgios) August 26, 2014
Pleased to get through today @usopen it was very hot out there, I got a little hot headed. Apologies for the language & if I offended anyone— Nicholas Kyrgios (@NickKyrgios) August 26, 2014
Murray gave notice of imminent greatness in 2006, when aged 19, he erased the disappointment of first-round losses at the Australian and French by downing fifth seed Andy Roddick at Wimbledon.
The Scot then upstaged Chilean 11th seed Fernando Gonzalez at the US Open.
Murray advanced to win Olympic, Wimbledon and US Open titles.
No player of the modern era has a record to match Nadal, who banished five seeds in his first two grand slam tournaments in his first full season.
The Spaniard rolled Youzhny at the 2005 Australian Open before unleashing a remarkable surge to claim the first of his nine French Open crowns.
Just shy of his 19th birthday, nailed Federer (1), David Ferrer (22), Gasquet (30) and Sebastien Grosjean (23) at Roland Garros.
Since the 2005 French Open, Federer, Nadal, Djokovic and Murray have claimed 36 of 38 majors with only Juan Martin del Potro (2009) US Open and Stan Wawrinka (2014 Australian) breaking the sequence.
If Kyrgios overcomes tough Seppi tonight, he could then face 16th seed Tommy Robredo for the right to challenge third seed Wawrinka.

Lib Dems to match Labour on rail sales
The Liberal Democrats are planning to match Labour plans and allow public sector organisations to bid for rail franchises as they come up.
The move will be seen as a significant piece of positioning in case there needs to be a coalition deal between the two parties.
The policy is set out in a document on the Lib Dem website which the party thought they had rendered unreadable so far in advance of next month's conference.
The documents, which have since been removed from the site, also confirmed that the party could ignore the main plank of the Davies review into airport expansion in London.
It says that the party rules out any expansion of Heathrow, Stansted, Gatwick or any new airport in the Thames…

Now a leadership consultant, Moore says employee surveys reveal an almost-apocalyptic lack of faith and trust in senior management.
Here are some of Moore's tips for restoring the faith:
1. Become a better communicator by keeping your mouth shut. Let people say their piece. Only then may they be willing to hear anything you have to say.
2. Eat lunch among the masses. Plop yourself down, and ask how things are going. Resist the urge to correct, solve, judge or reinterpret. You'll hear griping, but maybe you can fix a few of the problems you hear about.
3. Carve out quiet time. It will help you become less operational and more strategic.

The police here in S. Florida do like to take special notice of photography, I've found. I've been approached many times while shooting out in public and told to stop (last time being just yesterday). However, if you use a point and shoot camera, even an advanced one like a Canon G10, you will pretty much be left alone. It's the SLR cameras that attract attention, in my experience.

OK, I just read through every post in this thread. Not going to pass judgement, just some opinion. Carlos, I think you're blog is necessary to keep folks on their toes, checks and balances. I may not always agree with the exact content but will vigorously defend your right to post and write.
My opinion is.....there are 3 sides to every story. Her side, the cops side, and somewhere in the middle...the truth.
I also firmly believe that if she would have showed up politely, respectfully and with some humility she would have gotten a lot farther than, what appears to be, bursting on scene with a chip on her shoulder.
Start slow and easy, find out the whole story and, if necessary, start raising up a bit. Ask for a supervisor, ask for the names of the officers, ask for a case number, ask that no questioning be done until your attorney is present. All the things afforded us by the constitution and most departments rules and regs.
If that doesn't work, continue to raise until you are making demands. Sounds like she showed up at the later stage of negotiations, never a good thing with folks who enforce laws through persuasion and eventually force.
Bottom line with the cop who works security at the theater, someone pays for him to be there and someone wants the kids who hang out there to follow simple rules of society. If, and only if her son were in violation of the rules, the cop was doing his job.
BTW, welcome to Florida!!

That's weird b/c I've never ONCE had an issue with cops down in SOUTH Florida. The ones that I've always hated are moreso up in the middle part, like Tampa Bay, Orlando, that area. They always nab the tourists headed south lol! And some of them are hardcore redneck and even have that Floridian southest drawl, but I always figured they were kind of hardass and douchey because of the amount of bullshit they probably put up with constantly having people come through those areas like a revolving door. But then again, down around the Keys and South Beach, people are in and out constantly also and their cops SEEM at least pretty cool and laid back.

Indeed. The LAST thing you want to do is get riled up with cops. Be FIRM, but calm, like scary calm lol. You know how some people when they get pissed they turn into a fireball? And others get EXTREMELY freaky calm and monotone almost? Well, be like them when you're around cops. Speak stronger, not louder. If you come across firm, intelligent, and like somebody that they don't want to mess with, they'll typically leave you alone. I've only ever gotten in about 3 cops' faces before and that was after being provoked to by them first. And still, even though I was more animated and my stance much more aggressive on them those times, I was still cool and collected and kept composure and control.

The Nike Cortez is best fitting and most comfortable shoe, I needed to return mine because my foot grew by half a size. Will reorder a half size larger soon. I would recommend everyone to own at least one pair of Nike's Cortez.
"I'm a doctor in the Cath Lab which requires me to stay on my feet for much of the day. I also have to wear 40 lbs of lead while standing which usually makes my feet hurt pretty bad by the end of the day. These shoes are GREAT at preventing sore feet at the end of the day."

Good looking covering scheme! I may have to enlist the help of my wife to help design a scheme for mine. She's good at it and I'm not....
The way you CAed the nuts in wouldn't work for me because I enlarged the holes in the plywood and the only place for the glue to grip is the flange and pins of the nut. Maybe I'm being picky but I have had nuts vibrate loose on IC powered models if they bottomed out on the motor mount before the flange was flush with the ply on the back. I also could have just drilled the holes out on the x mount for the sleeve to extend into, that would have been easier. Note to future builders, if you are using the stock motor mounting holes then Mark's way would be fine, the glue will grip the sleeve of the nut where it is pressed into the hole in the ply.
Final Assembly
Having gotten the ACE covered, final assembly was quick and easy. As I mentioned in a prior post, the horizontal stab/elevator is locked in place by the vertical fin sliding through the fuselage, through the bottom piece of the tail, and into the horizontal stab. I did check to make sure it was square, and level. I used 5 minute epoxy to glue the tail pieces in place, and held them in place, in full contact with the fuselage bottom, to make sure they stayed that way.
The landing gear were bent up from the pattern Brian provided, and the wheels he supplied were used.
The Scorpion motor and ESC installation was absolutely painless. The Scorpion ESC is a little large, in my opinion, but I did manage to get it through the forward holes in the crutch so that it is underneath the crutch.
The prop is an APC 10x5 E.
The Dubro tail skid was also epoxied in place on the tail, as I'm setting mine up as a taildragger, at least initially.
I plan on using a PQ 3S1200 battery. Based on the CG information provided by Brian, my CG is perfect with the battery about 3/4" behind the firewall. So getting it in through the top hatch is easy enough. With the additional weight of the nosegear in the trike configuration, I'm sure the battery would have to be slid aft a bit to maintain the CG. The CG was set at the rear of the main spar, as recommended by Brian for initial flights.
Control throws at 100% are insane. I set up dual rates at 45-50% for all of the surfaces for the maiden.
I still have to put my meter on the model to double check amp draw, watts, etc., but it should be around 17 amps at WOT, based on Scorpion's charts.
Without the battery, my all up weight is 13.4 oz. With the battery, the model weighs exactly 17 oz. At 334 squares, that gives me a wing loading of 7.3 oz/sq ft, which I would think makes it very much a parkflyer.
I'm attaching my "beauty shots" of the completed ACE!
Mod for trike gear
Because I had not crossed the guide tube for the rudder as I ran it aft through the fuselage, and thinking that I would want to try the trike gear at some point, I went back and removed the guidetube for the nosegear that I had previously installed, and put some extensions in and a new tube to move it towards the center of the fuselage to line up with the opposite servo arm on the rudder servo. There is obviously a much greater radius that the cable is going to have to run than originally designed by Brian, but I think it will work OK. A little lubrication of the cable will probably help.
Aileron Setup
Because it is a fully symmetrical wing, I was not exactly sure where to set the ailerons as the neutral point. A quick email to Brian resulted in him sending me a .pdf of guides he made up when he was setting up his prototype. I think he is going to provide them in the kit, laser cut. I simply cut the guides out of some heavy bond paper I had handy, and used them to set the ailerons to neutral. This made it really, really easy to get them setup properly. Really a nice idea, and a good way to make sure that your ailerons are set to the correct neutral point.
I would guess that building the ACE, from start to finish, took me about 12-14 hours, including covering, setup, etc. I'd consider that a pretty quick build. Although the majority of that time was spent covering. Cutting and placing even small checkerboards by hand can be time consuming.
Thanks again, Brian, for the opportunity to build the ACE!
All that's left is the maiden!
Really looks good Mark.
I like the checkers, but I know I dont have the patience to cut out all those little squares.
Much less try to get them straight.
Ric, I used to do them out of Solite, which was incredibly time consuming. I'd cut a strip, take the backing off, put it adhesive side down on a sheet of glass, then line up a ruler and a t-square, and cut each check with my hobby knife. Now, I use Solartrim. I do it similarly, but because of the paper backing, it is much easier. I can make my measurements on the paper, cut the long strip, and then use scissors to cut the individual checks. It really goes much more quickly. For what it's worth, the checks on the ACE are 3/8" square. I've found that 1/4" is the smallest check I can comfortably cut by hand. Any smaller than that and I just don't seem to be able to get a check with 90deg corners. And trust me, the checks on the ACE are not all perfect, either. But from a couple feet away, they look decent. And the stripes are Pactra Trim Tape, so that makes them pretty easy.
Looks really nice Mark. I think you will maiden yours a bit before mine is ready...
I'm going to have to give Solartrim a try. Is it thinner than the monokote trim?
I got a few things done last night while watching the progress of Tropical storm Kay. Looks like it missed us by a wide margin and they don't expect any severe weather here.
Since I'm using Elmers Carpenters glue I'm going to document the deviations from the normal CA building process.
Fuselage side subassembly:
I laminated the fuse doublers to the fuse sides with wood glue and while it was wet I inserted the crutch/F2, F3 without glue to align everything. A few clamps held the position while the crutch was removed then it was laid flat on the table and phone books piled on to clamp it while the glue dried. The aft part of the fuse sides were also glued on now while everything is nice and flat.
Next was the completion of the firewall sub assembly. Our runway is notorious for an intermittent rolling turbulence that will make a model drop like a rock onto the concrete runway. Many perfect landing approaches end in a plop landing that is tough on the landing gear. I intend to strengthen this area a bit only for that reason. As designed Im sure it is plenty strong enough to take normal abuse.
Nose gear mount reinforcement:
I added a lite ply doubler made from scrap to the back of the firewall for the nose gear mounting block screws to bite into. This should help prevent the screws from pulling out of the firewall on one of those less than perfect landings. Ill add a few triangle gussets to the fuse sides where the main gear receptacle is attached to spread the shock loads out to the fuse sides.
Main gear mount:
At first I couldnt figure out how all those parts made up the main gear mount. After consulting the Tyro assembly manual I realized there are two sets of receptacle parts for the main gear. Brian, did you intend to include a spare set? Are the parts supposed to be laminated to double thickness then assembled? It doesnt look like the parts will fit together if they were doubled up. Ill use epoxy to assemble the main gear mount for the added strength.
Tonight: fuselage assembly.
Your Ace looks great!
Looking forward to your flight report.
Yes, there are 2 main landing gear mounts. You'll glue both of them into the fuselage. This lets you change from trike to taildragger any time you want.
So, don't laminate the parts. On the bottom parts of the gear mounts, make sure the part with the "slots" in it gets glued to the bottom. The bottom fuselage sheeting gets notched into those slots.
Your model looks great! I can't wait to hear about the maiden. I'm sure it'll be just fine. I still get the "maiden shakes" myself, and I've been flying for a long time now.
You know, even though I love the covering scheme I picked out on mine, it's very hard to keep orientation against overcast skies. I'd love to be able to fly it against nice blue skies, but we haven't had any of those for a while now.
I am definitely going to add the aileron alignment templates to the kit, laser cut on whatever sheet they'll fit on. Thse things make it as simple as possible to get the right "neutral" setting.
Thanks for the kind words, Brian. I know it will fly well! It was a very enjoyable build, to be sure.
Glenn, I'm not sure on how heavy Moneykote trim is. As near as I can tell, Solartrim is about the same thickness as Solarfilm (not Solite). It seems much thicker because of the paper backing, but once that's taken off, I would guess it's abot the same as Solarfilm. I'm glad Brian was able to respond to your questions. Nothing like having them answered by the singlular authority figure at MM!
You've done a killer job as usual Mark!
I haven't built a real kit since the SwitchBack Sr. beta. I'm hoping to finally have some time free and clear to bang out an "Ace" about the time Brian has it ready for market. He already knows I want kit #1.
I'm thinking this is going to be one fun little monster!

Hi dwightlb,
Are you sure you did import the Windows Media Player control?
Make a right mouse button click to your toolbox .
Select: "Select Item" (Please note I'm using a German Version, I don't know the exact description), in every case you have to add a control.
After this there will appear a menu with 3 register.
.Net Framewrk Compnents
Com Control? Or similar
WPF Components
Select COM Controls and search Windows Media Player. Mark it by the checkbox
and click ok.
The control will be added to your other controls in your list box. Maybe it helps if you will arrange the list of controls alphabetically?
Good luck.

Given our lovely foreign policy and the stereotypes about "Ugly American" tourists, life ain't exactly easy for Europe-bound U.S. travelers. "You're hoping people don't pigeonhole you as that," says Rob Suchan, lead singer and guitarist for Koufax. "It's like us saying all Germans love David Hasselhoff." But as Suchan has discovered on tour, German fans have taken to his band almost as fervently as they have to the bronze Baywatch lifeguard. How'd that happen? "I think kids there listen more closely to the lyrics than they do in the States," he says.
Fresh off their month-long German tour, the Midwestern band, whose lineup changes album to album and tour to tour, hits Mary Jane's Fat Cat this week with labelmates Limbeck. They're promoting their new album Hard Times Are in Fashion, which is lots of jolly, piano-tinged pop, clever hooks and sing-a-long lyrics that touch on love. But there ain't a lotta love for our government, especially in politically charged tunes such as "Colour Us Canadian" and "Blind Faith."
"I didn't want to make it brainless political bashing," says Suchan, whose album was inspired by the anti-American sentiment he's encountered abroad. After the U.S. tour, Suchan and company will head back to Germany for yet more live shows. "We're perfectly happy playing there because the treatment is unsurpassed. They have their hearts in the right place." Eat your heart out, Herr Hasselhoff. Spain Colored Orange and Rescue open the show. 8 p.m. Saturday, August 20. 4216 Washington.

It's my first Bloody Mary from this establishment and I decide it's the most awesome tomato cocktail in the world. But apparently it's not enough for my evening meal. Pretty soon I'm heading out of the bar, leaving my faithful drinking cohorts behind. I purge the day's drinks and pass out on a bus-stop bench for the rest of the evening. Class, baby. Pure class.
4 ounces Red Eye Habanero Bloody Mary Mix
3 ounces Absolut vodka
3 dashes Tabasco
1 splash Worcestershire
Sprinkle salt and pepper
Fill a pint glass full of ice. Sprinkle salt and pepper on the ice. Drizzle the Worcestershire sauce on the cubes. Dash the Tabasco. Pour the vodka, then the Bloody Mary mix. Stir and garnish with an olive and a lime wedge. Enjoy this cocktail at any time of day -- it's always five o'clock somewhere. -- Jason Kerr

Relation between lens diameter and IQ
It appears that generally lenses with higher diameter (larger filter thread like 67, 72 or 77 mm) are much pricier than the lenses with comparatively less diameter (say 52 or 58 mm) and most of the cases they are better w.r.t. IQ too. Why it is so?
What may be the problem of manufacturing smaller diameter lenses with very good optics? Canon L lenses are also follows mostly the same trend. What is the technical reason behind this?
Small lenses are not as capable as resolving things as larger lenses. I have been messing around with amateur astronomy for a decade or so. Set up a 60mm lens telescope next to a 120mm lens telescope and look at the moon through both of them. Providing they are both equally nicely made, the 120mm lens will give a thorough spanking to the 60mm lens on details seen. This is simply an inescapable consequence of diffraction.
I have a telescope now with an 8" lens up front. Usually pointed at the sky, but I could use it to take detailed pictures of pine needles and spiders webs from a football field away. (Like these tiny snow crystals, easily 250 ft away:)
I wondered if the difference was evident with camera lenses and I finally got a bigger lens after all these years, a Canon EF 300 f/2.8 which has (I think) about a 115mm front element. I was blown away I have never captured detail like this from a camera lens before.
I am sure that Canon does make an all around superior effort with these big lenses, by any measure, but the fact is, it's got a big lens and it collects a lot of light. You could put the worlds finest 300mm f/5.6 lens with an 53mm front aperture next to this Canon 300mm f/2.8 (also set to f/5.6) and thanks to physics, the big glass is going to thrash the little one.
Here is one with a 160mm telescope, over 6" of glass up front:
Those spider webs (and spider legs) are probably 170 ft away.

You have to cheer for Pioli and Crennel.
Since it looks like the Ravens put you out of your misery early (Week 5) I'd go with them.
It would certainly suck to have your season end so early but at least then you knew that you were free to plan something for the next 12 Sundays.
I've tried, well Ok I really haven't, but I just can't get too excited about this Super Duper Bowl.
Yes I'll watch, Jurgen's parents are traveling through so we'll set out some good eats. But, for me, this feels more like MNF of late. Not even rising to SNF.
Wait'll next year......
its all about the eats
"I don't do the gay guys man," said Culliver, whose Niners play the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday. "I don't do that. No, we don't got no gay people on the team, they gotta get up out of here if they do.
"Can't be with that sweet stuff. Nah
can't be
in the locker room man. Nah."
When quizzed by Lange whether any homosexual athletes would need to keep their sexuality a secret in football, Culliver responded: "Yeah, come out 10 years later after that."
Well maybe he was wrong
"The San Francisco 49ers reject the comments that were made [Tuesday], and have addressed the matter with Chris. There is no place for discrimination within our organization at any level. We have and always will proudly support the LGBT community."
Culliver issued his own apology on Wednesday.
"The derogatory comments I made yesterday were a reflection of thoughts in my head, but they are not how I feel," Culliver said in a statement. "It has taken me seeing them in print to realize that they are hurtful and ugly. Those discriminating feelings are truly not in my heart. Further, I apologize to those who I have hurt and offended, and I pledge to learn and grow from this experience."
LMAO - Jeez do these guys have anything above the neck line?
Must get these bad thoughts out of my head....
sometimes it's best to just be quiet
I believe he meant what he said
magic 8 ball most likely will decide where I decide to drink beer and watch 2 teams I don't really care for. I like Baltimore, just not the team, so I'll probably quietly root for them.
not sure why they don't get more respect going into this game. Beating Denver and New England on the road is no small feat for a team with an aging defense and at times inconsistent quarterback.
ravens cut a cheerleader from the super bowl for gaining too much weight.

I was hanging out at Cafe Du Monde today with some friends and in walks Joe Flacco with is wife, he sits next to us and people start to notice. He's a nice enough guy to his fans, when asked for photo ops he took it in stride and smiled; then the crowd got rough and rude for a bit. I guess he wanted his cafe au lait and beignets and to go. I called my brother-in-law, a BIG 49'ers fan, and told about this incident......he said I should have punched him in the face. Typical Niner fan, one step away for a Raider fan.
typical Ms resident

AIR brushed! She's a pig.
13 years ago Ray "Slash" Lewis had a hand in two deaths. Dropped dime on his two buddies so he wouldn't have to face the heat. For years now certain sports casters have put him up on a pedastal about what a great guy he is. How soon we forget. 6 kids from 4 different women, charged with murder, and he's a role model. I hope someone breaks his spine and he can't ever talk again. Go niners.
How about they finally play the F'ing game?

Yeah 15ft Belmar would make me crap myself. I rocked Myrtle Beach at 34 feet but the again that is Myrtle and we all know how hard those bad boys throw. The spit was so intense that to this day I get scared when it rains cause it reminds me of those mega SC pits! One time Wilmington went balistic at 58ft but I was stuck at work and missed it. Heard Yankee came down but forgot his board so he b!tch slapped a dolphin in to submission and caught waves on that instead.

Ethos I'd keep an eye out around this internet community. It generally brings out the worst in people. Just embrace the hate and never yield to traffic and you will love it. Swell info is good it's got a bunch of fictional characters like retractor and sandblasters. You know... Fictional web surfer types. It's great.

Ethos you also need to watch out for trolls like the Ape. He likes to try and cause problems by coming into threads and insulting people for no reason. What he does not realize is that he is such a waste of time that no one even wants to bother arguing with him.

1 To the group who helped save my dog, Olive —Two weeks ago I was walking my dogs at Bob Woodruff Park in Plano, when another person's much larger dog came out of his leash and tried to kill my 7-pound Chinese crested, Olive. The owner and I together were unable to stop him. After several minutes of horrific agony, watching sweet Olive getting mauled to death right in front of my eyes, a group of people started to gather and intervene. They were able to get him off of Olive long enough for me to pick her up, but then he broke free again and tried to climb up my body to take her back from me. When he was unsuccessful, he then turned on my other two pets and attacked each of them until the crowd was able to restrain him again. It was a vicious attack that left all four of us with wounds that broke the skin, and nearly left Olive dead. If not for the people who intervened in an extremely dangerous situation, he would have killed my little one. She sustained multiple internal injuries to her abdomen, broken ribs, a bruised lung, multiple puncture wounds — in four words, they saved her life.

2 To the key angel in Lewisville — A simple thank you to the postal employee or person who turned in my lost keys to the post office. I didn't even know I had lost them until I went to use them again, and then I was in a panic trying to retrace my steps. The post office was my last hope and there they were. I was so relieved. Thank you for making my day.

3 To a multitalented future teacher — In Marc Ramirez's story "Kinship and citizenship — Immigrant relates to teacher — her daughter" in Wednesday's paper, he wrote, "Not long ago, Eva changed her Richland College major from nursing to education. Her dream now, she told her mom, is to become a teacher." Eva Calvario has found her talents in teaching, but she can still major in nursing and use her knowledge of Spanish in patient care. And with further education she can eventually teach students who want to be nurses. Bless us with both talents — nursing and teaching.

Free time by streamlining the leave process, show employees who else is away in their department when they are making their booking, and setup rules to warn or block requests before they are made. Only involve HR when the request breaks pre-determined rules.
No need to buy new servers, no installs are needed and updates are provided automatically. Allow your employees to view absences and make new requests from anywhere in the world and on their mobile devices, at home, when they're planning their leave.

HR can setup detailed rules that inform, warn or stop employees from booking leave. Make sure no more than 2 people are away from a group at a time, or stop absences during the year-end period.
Let employees know where they stand
Let supervisors take control
Let HR spend time supporting employees, not moving paper
