(AP) -- WASHINGTON (AP) - Sen. Lindsey Graham says Afghanistan is not "Obama's war."
The South Carolina Republican is strongly condemning that comment from Republican Party chairman Michael Steele. But Graham isn't demanding that Steele resign.
Graham tells CBS' "Face The Nation" that Afghanistan is "America's war" and that the U.S. needs to have a military presence there for national security reasons.
Graham calls Steele's comment "uninformed, unnecessary, unwise."

Type II stuff
:D very nice work:rock:
I don't know a lot of people who are able to work on this claas of 3d modelling.
But nice you have uploaded it.:up:
I'd like to play with your Type II a bit. I've been putzing with modelling/texturing for about 3 years. Self-taught, and huge gaps in my basic understanding. I have Lightwave (which still has me confounded) and a couple of cheapy programs (3DC for a modelling, and UU3D for mapping). To be honest, I don't even know how you pull the pieces into a whole model. I'm guessing you don't merge everything. Can you give me a dumbed-down version of how you would have proceeded next?
I'm buried in making a B24 cockpit for a Targetware mod at the moment, but subs are a nagging topic for me, and this is very impressive.
Do you know if SH4 uses bump maps? Some of those details (e.g., the door rivets) might be done that way.
Edit : for Skwas' if you read this, out of curiosity : If you use the "obj+2nd channel uvw" import method, you can move the object around the scene, do the lightmap, save it individually as uvw and import it along the original non-moved object (you don't export the object used to make the 2nd channel).
When you use the "obj+2nd channel obj", can you also move that 2nd object around and export it as is (ie offsetted) or do you need to have the 1st & 2nd channel obj's on the exact same positionning in the 3D studio ?
If I've read correctly, S3D only imports the texture coordinates of the 2nd object anyway so it shouldn't care if the object is offsetted and maybe even with a different shape (but same vertex count etc) ?
Yes, Mikhayl, that's correct, although S3D will check if all the objs from channel 2 and up match the geometry of the first (meaning, same vertex count, same uv indices count (uv texture coordinate count may differ) etc) and whether or not materials are properly assigned. S3D will only use the uv-data from that point on and merges it with the uv-data of the primary model.
There is however always a risk of faces getting reordered by a 3D program (unrelated to OBJ vs UVW), causing the uv-data to get out of sync and causing incorrect renderings in game. In practice, to avoid this one would always have to load the additional channels before doing any manipulation and export the model and all channels from 3D program and reimport with S3D again. But I've not run into this problem yet (and neither have you or others is my impression), so no worries here...
[edit] So yes, even if the model of 2nd OBJ and up is scaled, skewed, rotated, translated, and whatnot, this does not matter.
I was talking about your interior work. Thanks for responding.
What's a channel LoL. I don't have 3DS, as I want to pay my house off 1st :) I hope to have it at some point though. I do own Lightwave, but I have not learned it yet. It crashes when I've textured with masked TGAs. I'm too deep in a current project to sort that, so I'm sticking with my old 3DC (modeller) and UU3D (mapper) for now. They make sense to me; the professional tools have me stumped.
Still, your comments are helpful in getting a bit of a handle on the "bigger" picture.
The poly count looks huge. Is that about how the SH4 stock objects are?
Mikhail, that helps some more. I've only ever used a single "channel," but there may be a hundred different textures in that. Some are very small (e.g., 16x16) and used where I can wrap/repeat (like the jacket of a flexible cable. I may have a single "band" that repeats to give the impression of the flexible jacket). Some textures are large, where complex detailing looks like it would be better done with a texture, and the ability to have some of its details pull double duty (a screw head, a spot of chipped paint) mitigates/warrants the size penalty. The only other textures I've fooled with are bump maps. Light maps are completely outside my experience at the moment. I can't picture how you would UV map lighting. Guess I'd need to see it done.
I'm not presuming to "teach" anything here. I'm exposing my methods to constructive criticism.
Am I right to assume that you would have mapped as much as possible to existing SH4 textures?
I own SH3 and am wondering how I can export the 3D model of the type IXD2 uboat so that I can import it into Lightwave 3D to make renderings of it or possibly import it into 3DSMax, then export it as and .obj or .3ds file so it can be imported into Lightwave.
Any help would be appreciated, or if you could post a link to an appropriate thread that has this info.
Thanks, I realize now that I am in an SH4 forum!
To clarify things, if I purchase the Silent Hunter Wolves of the Pacific Gold Edition (which includes the Uboat Missions expansion) and then download the S3D program, I will be able to extract the IXD2 model as an .obj file?
Will I actually need to install the Silent Hunter 4 Game and the Uboat Missions expansion to my computer BEFORE I can extract the IXD2 from the .dat file, or can the .dat file be copied or accessed from the DVD by the S3D program?
I ask this because my computer is a P4 3Ghz with 1gig of RAM and a Radeon 9000 Pro 128mb graphics card (the underpowered component of my system). Not sure if my graphics card will handle SH4 at all... I have been searching for a IXD2 3d model and the one in this Silent Hunter game seems to be the only model that exists of this boat.
Again thanks for your help!
Hi :-)
I just wanted to ask if there has been progress with the better Type II torpedo-room?
(i.e. if someone is currently finishing it?)...
Unfortunately, I don't have time or knowledge to do it myself, but the first screens look so promising, that it would be very, very nice to have it in the game :-) In fact I was looking forward to its release since the first screens were posted...
Even without visible crew in the torpedo-room it would be a very great addition :-)
Also, the better Type II exterior model sounds very promising...
All the best :-)

Bill: We have to go to City Hall for the marriage license and blood test.
Margo: I'd marry you if it turned out you had no blood at all.
You're maudlin and full of self-pity. You're magnificent.
Funny business, a woman's career - the things you drop on your way up the ladder so you can move faster. You forget you'll need them again when you get back to being a woman. That's one career all females have in common, whether we like it or not: being a woman. Sooner or later, we've got to work at it, no matter how many other careers we've had or wanted. And in the last analysis, nothing's any good unless you can look up just before dinner or turn around in bed, and there he is. Without that, you're not a woman. You're something with a French provincial office or a book full of clippings, but you're not a woman. Slow curtain, the end. - Margo Channing.

Catheterization is accomplished by inserting a catheter (a hollow tube, often with and inflatable balloon tip) into the urinary bladder. This procedure is performed for urinary obstruction, following surgical procedures to the urethra, in unconscious patients (due to surgical anesthesia, coma, etc.), or for any other problem in which the bladder needs to be kept empty (decompressed) and urinary flow assured. Catheterization in males is slightly more difficult and uncomfortable than in females because of the longer urethra.

Heron Creek Golf course has three 9 hole courses, all of which can be very challenging. It is beautiful and well maintained. We ate at the restaurant there after golf and the food was very good.
Played here often, do not get far off of the fairway, lots of bushes and hard to find the ball. Greens are undulated and can be tricky.
Truth be told, I live on this course in the winter, literally...along the fairway of Creek #1. However, I can still provide an objective view. There are three nines, and each is different.

RECENT EVENTS: The 1996 Nobel Peace Prize to Bishop Carlos Ximenes Belo and co-recipient Jose Ramos-Horta raised international awareness of the long-neglected situation in East Timor. Nonetheless, conditions in that island territory remain grim. To cite just one recent example, in mid-November, Indonesian troops burst onto the campus of the University of East Timor in Dili, there were shootings and arrests and soldiers dragged a wounded student from a Red Cross truck. Bishop Belo described these and other recent acts as incalculable brutality.
On December 10, one year after his receipt of the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, the bishop said he had seen no improvement in the [political] climateor any improvement on human rights in 1997. The threat of violence is always present, he said in an interview in December. There are still violations and torture. It means that there are no changes at all, either in human rights or in peace and justice.
In 1997, however, there was an attempt by South African President Nelson Mandela, who has long had relations with Indonesia and high standing in that country, to try to mediate a solution to the East Timor conflict. This venture leaves the door open for future action. United Nations talks continue, and in his New Years address to the Vatican diplomatic corps, Pope John Paul spoke of the plight of the people of East Timor, and in particular the sons and daughters of the Church there, still awaiting more peaceful conditions in order to be able to look to the future with greater confidence.
Added to the human rights and political problems is the possibility of severe food shortages and even famine as a result of drought caused by the El Niño phenomenon. In the late 1970s, famine claimed the lives of many tens of thousands; a recurrence of famine at this time would be extremely disastrous.
Last June, Bishop Belo addressed the Kansas City meeting of the NCCB/USCC and repeated his plea for an increase of advocacy here on behalf of East Timor.
ROLE OF THE U.S.: Through the leadership of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), a measure passed Congress last fall that limited use of American weapons in East Timor. Welcome as such efforts are, it is far from what is needed to bring about a just and lasting solution to the political conflict. It is in the area of finance where the United States has the most significant influence in Indonesia today. The IMFs recent economic bailout of Indonesia included a direct American contribution of $3 billion and much more in U.S. contributions to the IMFs $43 billion Indonesian package.
USCC POSITION: The USCC has consistently and repeatedly supported the efforts of Bishop Belo in his denunciation of violations of human rights in and his calls for a peaceful, mediated settlement under the auspices of the United Nations of East Timors political status. The most recent major Conference expression on the issues was the July 1994 statement of the USCC Committee on International Policy, which has been followed by several letters expressing the Conferences continuing concern.
ACTION REQUESTED: Congressional protests and representations by various U.S. Administrations since 1979 have helped to limit severe human rights abuses. Recently, Reps. Patrick Kennedy (D-RI), Tony Hall (D-OH) and Frank Wolf (R-VA) have taken the lead in asking the U.S. to use its financial leverage with Indonesia to help bring about major changes in its policy on East Timor. At the least, the U.S. should utilize its enormous influence to help meet Bishop Belos goals of reducing the number of Indonesian troops there, releasing political prisoners, ending torture and violence, and bringing about an equitable solution to the tragic 22 year-old conflict in East Timor.
Please contact your Senators and Representatives expressing support for such efforts, as well as the initiatives of Sens. Patrick Leahy and Russell Finegold (D-WI) which aim to ensure that a major diplomatic effort on East Timor be a part of the U.S. agenda with Indonesia at this critical juncture.
Stress also the importance of U.S. participation in any international relief efforts to address food shortages there, using its political influence to ensure that independent aid organizations be allowed to operate in East Timor to the greatest extent possible.

DKOS is a big tent. There are reliable "whiny lefties" who post realistic diaries. And there are reliable apologists who do diaries with cutie pics of the handsome, Mr.cool (I call that wooden) Prez Accountability. But yes, as you said, there are people screeching "healthcare ! Lily Ledbetter! Wall street reform! and yes, no kidding, Race to the top" every time somebody writes about foreclosuregate or Afghanistan or cat food commission. Once an Obama apologist threatened me , yes, that if we keep criticizing him, he will drop out in 2012 and we poor lefties will live to regret that !!!

THIS COLUMN was originally intended to be a mild defense of the dad who stuck his baby boy in a washing machine in Camden, but then I found out he wasn't the kid's dad and I kept picturing my daughter stuck in a spin cycle, soapy tears stinging her pretty blue eyes.
It sort of evolved into something more complicated after that.
I do "dumb" things with my boys all the time — 100 feet in the air on a zip line in Mexico, where safety was lost in translation, or in my basement where we hunt crickets with the Red Ryder BB gun (yes, with goggles), and out back, where a hump of dirt and too much throttle sent my 5-year-old son flying off his dirt bike like a dead leaf in a stiff wind.

"A very very yummy snack or breaky, very very very easy to make. Smear a little honey on each piece and enjoy!" — Adam Willis
Watch video tips and tricks
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
4 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 cup hot water
The thing I liked the most about this recipe is that you can change it up as much as you like. You can go savory or sweet with it. I did have to add about 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of extra water though as the recipe was too dry (I did the recipe without using a mixer). Still a very easy, flexible recipe.
Very easy, but pretty boring!

great bread we ate it with tamatoes, garlic and hard boiled eggs must say though I used a tad more water and would have rolled them out much thinner will make again
Very similar to my grandmother's fry bread. Yummy!
Was very easy to make and very tasty. Did not add any more water, but did add some sugar and cinnamon. Served them warm with honey. YUMMY!
This was really good, being that I had very minimum ingredients on hand for other types of bread. I added a bit more water as one reviewer noted, which made a significant difference. After I rolled it out, I just cut into 16 pieces and fried instead of cutting afterwards. Overall, very good. Thanks!
Easy to make

The Band Perry, no longer inhibited as being best-known for a song about untimely death, took the stage at Sunday in the Country this weekend as a much more electrifying group than the one appeared at the same concert last year. Buoyed by an aggressively upbeat set list, video screens, and an Americana medley ("American Pie," "Jack & Diane," etc.) that had the thousands at Merriweather Post Pavilion on their feet, the sibling trio rocked the sold-out, day-long music festival like headliners - even though they weren't actually headlining.
Still, the band — lead singer Kimberly Perry with brothers Reid and Neil Perry — proved up to the task. Kicking up the energy with toe-tappers "Miss You Being Gone," "Independence," and new song "Sugar, Sugar," along with their latest chart-topper, the scorching "You Lie," they even managed a seamless transition into a countrified version of "Amazing Grace. "We thought we'd have a little bit of church at Sunday in the Country," Kimberly said.
Of course, the no. 1 hit, Grammy-nominated "If I Die Young," drew the most intense ovation. "[This song] changed the lives of my brothers and me...this one belongs to you," Kimberly said as she launched into the haunting, somber tune, clearly growing emotional when the audience sang back the third verse without missing a beat: "And maybe then you'll hear the words I've been singing; funny, when you're dead, how people start listening."
Later, crooner Joe Nichols tried his best to keep the crowd buzzing. His hilarious "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off" is a song you can't hear too often. But by the time actual headliner Josh Turner hit the stage around 9:15 p.m., the pavilion had become noticeably emptier. Though Turner's incredible bass voice works wonders with songs about being passionately in love ("Your Man," "I Wouldn't Be a Man") the multiple slowed-down numbers in his set weren't ideal for a show that had started nearly nine hours earlier. "Folks that are still here, you're troopers," Turner noted. "There's pros and cons to headlining...I was clean shaven this morning."
Earlier in the day, 20-year-old solo artist Hunter Hayes (imagine a mix between Justin Bieber and Jason Mraz) kicked things off with his irresistibly catchy single, "Storm Warning," and happily took video of the audience to post on Twitter. Newcomer Frankie Ballard tried to get the crowd to dance, while Brantley Gilbert (filling in for Easton Corbin, who canceled due to illness) cranked up the volume with Southern rock, including "Country Must Be Country Wide" and "Kick It in the Sticks", and growling through his "Dirt Road Anthem" and "My Kinda Party," made popular by Jason Aldean.
Meghan Linsey of Steel Magnolia took the stage solo - her duo partner, Joshua Scott Jones, went into rehab last month - and told stories about her days in a Nashville karaoke bar, calling Aretha Franklin's "Chain of Fools" her "tip jar song" before breaking into the tune.

A baseball player/manager/coach must have been active as a player/manager/coach with the Eau Claire Bears in the Chippewa River Baseball League at some time during a period beginning in 1998 (when the Bears officially joined the CRBL) and ending one (1) year prior to election.Player must have played/managed/coached in atleast five (5) Chippewa River Baseball League seasons with the Eau Claire Bears, some part of which must have been within the period described above.Player shall have ceased to be an active player in the Chippewa River Baseball League at least one (1) calendar year preceding the election but may be otherwise connected with baseball.
One of the most enthusiastic people one would ever meet, Scott Biederman was the spark-plug that ignited the Eau Claire Bears. Beginning in 1998 Scott helped with establishing the Bears in the Chippewa River Baseball League after years of playing an independent schedule. Once the Bears became established as a CRBL franchise, Scott took over as one of the main individuals who would help the team build, and one day contend for a Wisconsin Baseball Association State Title. The road would be tough for the first few years as the Bears struggled to qualify for the Wisconsin Baseball Association Regional Tournament. After one WBA playoff appearance in the first four years of existence, Biederman would go on to lead the Bears not only into the WBA tournament, but his teams would go on to qualify for the WBA State Finals five of those six years including a stretch of four Finals appearances in a row from 2004-2007. During that period, the Bears were the team to beat in the CRBL. In 2002, Biederman and the Bears won their first South Division Championship in franchise history, but would fall to the Tilden Tigers in the CRBL Championship game. In 2004, the Bears claimed their second South Division Title and earned a re-match with Tilden in the Championship game. The Bears won and would go on to win two more making it three years in a row before losing once again to Tilden in 2007, which was the final year Biederman managed. In 2006, Biederman was recognized among his peers, and awarded the Jan Krueger Manager of the Year award for his accomplishments on the field, but over the ten years of managing the Bears, all the wins and division, league, and regional titles could not compare to the thrill of winning the WBA State Title in 2005 in Chaseburg Coonvalley. It was the first ever for the Bears and it was only the fifth time a CRBL team had won the tournament (Thorp 1953, Augusta 1994, Tilden 1995 and 2004). Biederman retired after the semi-final loss to Prescott in the 2007 state tournament. Although his resume is incomparable to most managers in CRBL history, Scott Biederman will not be remembered for only his impressive 112-66 regular season CRBL record, or for his remarkable WBA tournament record of 17-6, nor for the five South Division Titles, three CRBL Titles, five Regional Titles and the 2005 WBA State Championship he lead his teams to, but he will be remembered as a fierce competitor and as a great friend to all who had the opportunity to know him.
A player who was the offensive and defensive cornerstone for one of the most successful eras for any franchise in Chippewa River Baseball League history was Scott Wolfe for the Eau Claire Bears. "Wolfie" began his CRBL career in 1999 with the Augusta Athletics and a year later he moved to Eau Claire to begin an impressive individual compilation of statistics, while also playing dominating defense in the field and working as the Bears closer on the mound. Once Scott began playing for the Bears, it was not long after that team success followed. In his ten years with the Bears, Scott helped lead the team to eight South Division titles, five league titles, seven regional titles (including six in a row), and three Wisconsin Baseball Association State Championships. When you watched Scott play, it was apparent that he was the best player on the field, and in the biggest games he elevated his play to another level. In his ten years in a Bears' uniform, Scott earned six All-League awards including three at shortstop and three at third base, as well as an All-Star game MVP award in 2002, however, it was his play in the post-season that set him apart from other great players. In CRBL Championship games Scott was at his best earning game MVP in 2006, while making a huge impact in the other seven championship games he played in. In the WBA tournament, Scott's remarkable defensive skills were always on display for everyone to see. In the three state titles the Bears won, Scott was named Defensive Player of the Tournament every year (2005, 2008, and 2009). It was no coincidence that the Bears success hinged on Wolfie's play.For those who played with Scott, they realize that his presence on the field cannot be quantified; however, his numbers rank among the best of the best in the 82 seasons of play in CRBL history. As of 2011, Scott ranked 39th all-time in CRBL hits with 240, 24th in batting average with a .342 career average, 46th in singles with 170, 43rd in doubles with 39, 48th in homeruns with 18, 49th in RBIs with 138, 41st in runs scored with 165, 41st in total bases with 351, 30th in slugging percentage with .500, and 8th all-time in saves with 9. Scott also holds six Bears' franchise records and seven single season records as of the start of the 2011 season.Although Scott was a tremendous competitor, he never let his emotions get the best of him and always enjoyed his time on the field, in the dugout, and of course, socializing after the games. Scott's retirement after the 2010 season brought the end of a golden era for the Bears that will be hard to duplicate. But more than the eye-popping numbers or all the wins and championships and despite being a great player on great teams, Scott was a great teammate and a fun guy to be around and will be a difficult guy to replace both on and off the field.

INTRODUCTION Before we answer this historical question, students of the Bible and church history, should be encouraged to ask, why would certain "ecclesiastical parties" want everyone to give an affirmative yes to this question? Because if this can be substantiated and unequivocally be found in Scripture, then it might give the pope of Rome his dictatorial and tyrannical authority, which he has enjoyed for many centuries, even though it is very difficult to find early Christians even discussing the "primacy of Peter," let alone an alleged unbroken Apostolic chain to the incumbent pope of the day. Yet amazingly, Gregory the Great (590-604AD) rejected outright the title of "pope," but his successor, Boniface II, cherished it (Catholic Encyclopaedia, Vol. II, pg. 660.) Pope Damasus (366-384AD) was the first to call himself pope (Catholic Encyclopaedia, Vol. IV, pg. 614.) The same encyclopaedia makes the non-biblical claim that the pope is "lord of heaven, earth and hell" (Vol. VI, pg. 48.) Rome also adheres to a strange eastern religious view, which seems to border on the lines of reincarnation, for it states that Peter's spirit somehow speaks through living popes, and it was Leo I (449AD) who first introduced this view into the Catholic church (Philip Schaff, History of the Christian Church, Vol. III, pg. 744.) HOLY SCRIPTURE If there's one verse a Catholic can cite off the top of their head, it will always be Matthew's Gospel, chapter 16, and here it is from the Catholic Douay-Rheims Bible: "And I say to thee: That thou art Peter [petros]; and upon this rock [petra] I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." (Rome believes that there are Aramaic and Hebrew manuscripts for the New Testament. However, if this is true, then they are as elusive as Iraq's weapon of mass destruction, for no scholar, religious or secular, has ever found one fragment. Some may also be interested to learn that the meaning of the Aramaic word for Peter (Cephas) is sand. Not the best foundation to build upon. Matt. 7:26, 27.) Now on the surface it all appears rather simple. The Lord makes Peter the church on which He will build on. But when one reads the whole Bible, problems soon occur. First, the Greek word for Peter is petros, meaning a small stone. Second the Greek word for rock is petra, meaning a large stone.
also note that in John 1:42, Jesus calls Peter "a" stone. Not "the" stone. So it would appear that a careful play on words has just taken place. Jesus is not making Peter the church/rock, but rather He is the Rock Himself, with Peter being a small stone - one of many. We also learn that Jesus has to be the Rock, when we read Matt. 7:24;1 Pet. 2:4-9. Please see this video I did which goes into more detail. The Apostle John, who outlived all the apostles, never mentions "pope" Peter's death, burial or even "succession." Church "fathers" such as Irenaeus, Polycarp, Origen, Cyprian, Jerome, Hilary and Ambrose, never acknowledged or taught that Peter was the first Pope (A Handbook On The Papacy, Bishop William Kerr, pgs. 48, 49.) James and John were given special places of position with Jesus in the future Kingdom, yet Peter wasn't consulted once nor did Jesus refer them to him. We also read in John's Gospel, how certain Greeks went to Philip to have him introduce them to Jesus. Philip then went to Andrew (not Peter) to speak with Jesus. And at the end of this Gospel, Peter is rebuked by Jesus again, but this time for asking what John's future fate would be. If anybody is to be considered as "Papal" material, it would not be Peter (a man who tried to kill Malchus; deny Jesus three times and preach a false gospel in Gal. 2, but Paul the Apostle. Yet even he was more modest and humble then most modern day preachers are, whether Protestant or Catholic.

I believe the Network Working Group tag represents the continuity in Internet engineering and documentation that follows continuously from Steve Crocker's RFC 1 (written April 1969 in a dry bathtub, I believe, so as not to wake the friends he was staying with) down to the latest RFCs and I-Ds.

Are the Rockets a Potential Playoff Team?
Maybe no team will have the kind of predicted-win variance from fans and experts this season than the Houston Rockets. Some think that they're going to be downright awful, a wretched mishmash of forwards and injured guards, built around a lack of size and no real starpower. Others think it's entirely possible this team can swing for the playoffs. A young, versatile core with Jeremy Lin making the plays, a defense built around Omer Asik, and if even one of the three rookies breaks out, look out. They could massively exceed expectations or completely crash and burn into the ground prompting a full-scale re-reboot, and you wouldn't really be surprised at either, nor would you be shocked at a good-not-great late lottery finish, typically referred to as the "Rockets" finish every year.
They've got four separate gambles going on. First, that Jeremy Lin is the player he was for two weeks in February and not the player he was, you know, any other time. That in the right system, with the confidence and what he learned about himself last year, he can be the kind of playmaking, odds-defying producer who set the league on fire. Second, that one of the rookies will work out. If Jeremy Lamb works out? Great. An athletic two-guard who can fill up the scoreboard and whose length on the perimeter provides the anchor of the defense on the edge. If it's Terrence Jones, a relentless inside attacker with elite athleticism who can also step out and hit a few shots (probably more than he should take), a kind of Josh Smith 2.0 model? Neat. If it's Royce White, a combo-forward who passes like Bird and leaps like LeBron, fantastic. Just one of them has to pull it off.
