On the whole, Falconer halves me. The idea behind their folk-laden power metal is quite literally a grand one, and yet, in practice, it's been one I've found more clinically interesting than emotionally resonant. Somewhere in the mix between the aggressive and melodic riffage, the prancing Ren-Faire twists and Mathias Blad's super-clear operatic baritone, Falconer always felt too clean, at times downright silly (more so than usual in power metal). And thus, they left me wanting more. With a markedly increased aggression and a greater emphasis on quality folksmanship, Armod still hasn't converted me to a flag-waving Falconer fan, but I do concede that it's a stride in the right direction for these Swedes.
Armod's listening experience is characterized by those two immediately noticeable factors above: one, Falconer in 2011 feels more vital, more energetic than on previous efforts, a trait they've achieved by simply turning up the power in their metal. That's not to say that they've become more "power metal," mind you, but rather to say that their metal has become more powerful. In places, these tunes are the most aggressive on any of the Falconer efforts I've heard. (I'm missing the earliest two records, I admit.) Moments of blast-beating even pop up in "Griftefrid," while throughout Armod, the riffage is thicker, stouter, heavier…
And that's all well and good, but in true Falconer fashion, it's only half-important, because of the second of Armod's immediately noticeable characteristics: Falconer's metal is stronger, but metal is not all that's on hand. In the same way that they've increased the power to make Armod their most aggressive record (at least, of late), Falconer has balanced their formula by making it their most folky, as well. Violins dance with guitars, twisting jig-dancing melodies atop power-chord basics; acoustic passages float in and out; Blad's smooth croon intones the songs, for the first time written entirely in Swedish. (Falconer has flirted with Swedish-language lyrics before, but Armod marks their first album-length attempt at such.) That lyrical shift is a simple change, admittedly, but it's a notable one: The native tongue gives Blad's vocals and these tunes a more unique quality, something a bit more exotic, decidedly Scandinavian atop the music's Tull-indebted frilly-shirted "theater with power metal riffs" approach.
And again, that's all (done) well and (for the most part) good. But there's a third factor at play, and that is simply that, as as improved upon its predecessors as it may be, Armod still doesn't resonate: it starts strong and wears quickly. The first time I heard this record, I quite enjoyed it, even praised it slightly and briefly, between the immediate flashes of a stouter backing and an undeniably increased medieval flair. But then, I drifted off before the record ended, and as a few listens wore on, the same chinks in Falconer's chainmail became evident: Even prior to this, Blad's vocals were always the biggest sticking point with me – they lack grit, lack punch, make the whole affair more drama club than mosh pit – and his work on Armod hasn't changed enough to transcend that. Granted, the underpinnings of increased aggression help balance his unchanging Glee Club goofiness in the short term, but nevertheless, I can't help feeling that Falconer's fire would be stoked by having a singer (be it Blad or anyone) who wasn't pulling a metal Josh Groban. And the folk elements are great, but they're neither original nor expert: they're good enough, the same approximation to medieval music as the lamb hock you bought at the stand at the park during King Arthur Days.
And, hell, honestly, even the LARP-folk tendencies and the crooning are both well done and good, but the biggest stumble is this: overall, while parts of Armod spark undeniably, none of this is fiery, none of it absolutely brilliant, and certainly, it's not enough to transcend the fact that in the last seven or eight years (and perhaps before, but I can't say for sure) Falconer has released a string of albums that are all varying degrees of "okay," never great, never truly engaging, never must-hear.
So yes, I'm again torn in two: it's good, but I don't like it. It's improved, but yet it's not. Nevertheless, the Falconer faithful will be thrilled, because Armod is better than the last, it's basics expanded upon, and yet, when it all comes down, to the rest of us, it's still very much more of the same…

haha. no it has GREAT sentimental value to me. The other day i washed it and I pulled it out, I saw the little sticker that had my name (which was wrongly spelled) and a bar code on the bottom, which they put on in Ft. Knox many many years ago. Lol.
It's like you know how those little kids have their blanket? I wear my gray BCT sweater (once basic is over we never ever use it in the army) all the time, lifting weights, running, crossfit anything. I was 155 when I first got it, so around a medium, but the army always give you 2 sizes so now it's like so big, but I still love it. lol. It's the one uniform the army gave me that I used the most...we've changed uniforms twice since I joined, we're going to change again next couple of years, but I'm sure I'll still be running my sweats till it's torn and old.

A stolen, single-engine plane being pursued by a Coast Guard helicopter on Saturday slammed halfway up the 41-story Bank of America building in downtown Tampa, authorities said.
The pilot, a 15-year-old high school student, died in the crash.
The incident occurred about the same time two small aircraft crashed in Colorado and California, but authorities said they found no connection in the events. "None of the incidents appear to be related, and there is no indication of terrorism," said Scott McClellan, White House deputy press secretary.
Take a moment of silence, I guess.
Posting that sad plane-into-skyscraper event while relating it to reenactment prompted much discussion within the email listserv I was then part of. Maybe I'll reenact some of what was written 11 years later.
And for you tattoo or trophy lovers out there, here's a work from 2000.01.05:

is that based on (or are you looking at/aware of) libeskind's v&a boilerhouse spiral addition thing? (+ eisenman plan tracing .. lsd effect)
FRaC, sure I'm aware of Libeskind's V&A Boilerhouse, and I've owned Eisenman's Diagram Diaries since early 2000. I don't know the plan or section of the Boilerhouse design, just the image you posted, and I've looked through (but not so much read) Diagram Diaries many times in the past. Working Title Museum 002 is part of a series of (schematic) designs from late summer 2000, and each version was very much intentionally designed within the architectural miliue of the very late 20th century.

(Bilbao "Affect")
East Bank of the Schuylkill River, Quondam
Working Title Museum 002 jumbled some of these "cubes" together...
...playing with the notion of a Gehry-Libeskind hybrid.
All along it's been an investigation, finding out what it's like to design along these lines. And, just recently, I've taken up the investigation again. Regarding the Eisenman/trace connection, what I think relates there is that I'm designing exclusively within a CAD environment--there are no sketches, drawings, physical models--it's all done just within the 'machine'. Of course I create fresh (digital) data, but much of the design work is a manipulation of existing data, and inspiration often comes from overlapping data in simultaneous 2D and 3D, seeing things from any angle, wireframe or solid, etc. The roof plan as paving idea, for example, occurred late Friday night when I was checking to see how the jumble of upper 'cubes' relate to the ground plan in plan view.
Re-newed interest in this project started with OMA's 2011.04.04 announcement of the National Art Museum of China design...
...within which I recognized a connection to H&deM's BBVA Headquarters design (2008.12.17)...
...which in turn connects to Le Corbusier's Electronic Calculation Center Olivettidesign (1963-64).
There was something about the National Art Museum of China design, however, that also made a connection to Working Titile Museum 002.
Thus beginning to see the WTM002 design in a new way. And that's what I'm investigating now.
The Quondam-on-LSD Style. Sure, why not?

Parents lobbying for early French immersion in the Chilliwack school district are concerned a survey aimed at gauging interest might get lost in the Christmas shuffle.
"It's a crazy time of year to have this study," said Jocelyn Thomas, president of the Chilliwack chapter of Canadian Parents for French. "Everybody has everything else on their mind."
The survey, which comes in both an online and paper format, was released Dec. 4. Responses are due Dec. 18 for the paper survey and Dec. 21 for the electronic one, so Thomas's organization is now scrambling to get the word out.
"We want to contact all the daycares and preschools to let the parents with young families know," she said.
Besides its timing during the Christmas bustle, Thomas is concerned about the survey's reach.
So far the district has only publicized it within the district: on its website, in school newsletters and on school websites.
But not all parents who might want an early French immersion program already have kids in the system and could therefore be missed, according to Thomas.
That's important, she said, because the survey is intended to measure interest "both to begin an Early French Immersion program and to maintain it in the future," according to the district's introduction.
A report on the feasibility of an early immersion program in Chilliwack is due by the end of January.
The original November 2012 deadline was extended because a change of superintendents had delayed the hiring of a consultant to conduct the study.
Superintendent Evelyn Novak said the district wanted to get the survey done by Christmas so the report could be done on time.
"We'll see what the response is," she said. "If we have to do another take, we can try that if we need to."
As for publicizing the survey more broadly, Novak said the district hadn't considered it.
The timeline for the start of a possible program is September 2014, according to the survey.
If the program gets the green light, Thomas said Chilliwack CPF will lobby the district to start both a kindergarten and Grade 1 class at that time, instead of just a kindergarten class as indicated by the district earlier.
"There is enough demand that we can see for that year as well," said Thomas.

URGENT - Justice-AP-Phones-Concerns
Published On: May 14 2013 04:55:53 PM CDT
(CNN) -- The president of The Associated Press said Tuesday that a U.S. Department of Justice official's letter to him explaining the federal agency's decision to subpoena phone records from the news service's bureaus and reporters "does not adequately address our concerns." Gary Pruitt said in a statement that the "scope of the subpoena was overbroad" and blasted federal authorities for seizing phone records "in secret."

Troubles don't seem to end for AMD's Radeon HD 7990 dual-GPU graphics card, with sources indicating that AMD has no new product launches till late-August. Sections of the press reported that the HD 7990 could be released some time this month. A couple of factors could be behind the delay. For starters, there have been reports of shortage of PEX8747 PCIe bridge chips by PLX, which is at the heart of dual-GPU graphics cards, including the GeForce GTX 690. Another factor could relate to how AMD plans to achieve competitive price-performance and performance-Watt ratios for the HD 7990. Meanwhile, launches of NVIDIA's mid-range GeForce GTX 660 Ti and GTS 650 are reportedly closing in. Source: VR-Zone Chinese
Here lately for AMD when it rains it pours: slow forcast, exec leaving, product delays Come on AMD pull those rabbits out of the hat and kick some butt
hmm AMD has a lot of problems competing with nvidia lately. when they launch the hd 7990 i'm betting that the card will be slower than nvidia's gtx690
maybe thats why those people are leaving. instead of a john carter movie coming out and people leaving the big company that made it, they know it sucks before it comes out and heads are getting chopped.
The main reason for the delay is to ensure its faster than gtx690 i think ... But whether its released now or next month really doesnt matter much ... cos it'll probably cost an arm and leg ... and only a few will buy it ... Its all abt reclaiming the performance crown from nVidia ...
My guess: Performance: GTX690 > HD7990 Power consumption: HD7990 > GTX690 Price: HD7990 = GTX690 What people actually buy: GTX660Ti - GTX670
Most people don't actually care about this card and most enthusiasts care enough are probably already having blast with their GTX690 for months. So yeah.
Nvidia pulled a rabbit out of their hat with the 690. As fast as 680's in sli while maintaining very reasonable power consumption all in a high quality package. This leaves AMD in an uncomfortable position. They know they need more clockspeed, more power consumption to match a single 680, but this doesn't work well in a dual gpu card. Whatever the power difference is between the 680 and 7970 GHz it would be even greater, and that's just to match their performance. More power, more heat, more noise. And that's just the spec side. I doubt they were prepared to match the 690s quality cooler either. One way or another it will be a second class product with second class pricing.... and second class looks pretty shitty on a flagship product.
Hmm interesting. Heres hoping that AMD can still compete with Nvidia to keep prices in control. Also, why does the picture showcase a FirePro card (unless this particular one is related to the 7990)?
It is not so much that as it is the technical display. No dual GPU from AMD means either drivers or power envelope/ GPU design are not efficient enough to come out with a better dual GPU product than the competition.
i fear for amd, and us as a knock on, as they are finding it hard in the cpu sector and the gpu arm was keeping them afloat but this gen has seen them lose their edge and if nv do to them what intel are doing to the cpu side its all over for use as consumers hoping for price wars and bargain buys
I agree with you on many points but the GTX 690 has one fatal weakness that hinders it, VRAM, if it had atleast 4GB per GPU I'd already have bought one, clearly some will say that 2GB is fine at 1080p and I agree but you don't buy a dual Kepler GPU to play at 1080p. It would have been the perfect dual GPU, spot on amount of VRAM, performance, noise and power consumption. I disagree on the GPU part, AMD is very competitive right now, especially on the midrange where Nvidia is yet to be seen.
This 7xxx was a disaster series for AMD, even worst than 2xxx or 3xxx. Time to bring the 8xxx series with at least 60% more performance than the current crap generation.
You mean AMD has products from $100-500 and Nvidia has two at $400 and $500 respectively. Oh yea and the GT640 $110 that basically not as good as 6670 that showed back 18 months ago with DDR5 and was less than $100. Me I'd rather be late with a Halo (bragging rights product that will be on par in performance and $200 less... and hardly add to the bottom line) than have the competition own the $130-350 range uncontested, for what's like 7-8 months! AMD will have new 8XXX parts ready 3 months after GK106 starts to make strides. It's not any disaster for AMD.
I do not understand your logic here. If GTX680/670 are more efficient then 7970/7950s by close to 50w and the GTX690 is 2 680s on one PCB which is what the 7990 will most likely be is 2 7970s, then I do not see how the HD7990 will be better in terms of power consumption.
I think he used > to indicate more power consumption, not to indicate better aka less power consumption.
Yeah, not a disaster at all. Actually, today is a big day for AMD. They managed to achieve lowest stock price in 1 year calendar : A delayed flagship product, a couple of crucial staff gone (John Bruno to Apple, Bob Feldstein to NVIDIA, Ben Williams to Calxeda Inc.), lowest stock price in 1 year? Not a disaster at all. They'll bounce back stronger! Go AMD!
Theres definately changes goin down @ AMD, uncertainty causes low stocks, even if business is good. You would know that by looking at current global market trends I think ATi is sandbagging with the 7990. Which doesnt bother me because they have again provided me with excellent performance/$$$.
How about this… Such a delay or the speculation (that's what it is) could be nothing more than a smoke screen to have it ready and "available on shelves" when Nvidia hits with GK106 parts as a way of muscling in on some review time. AMD not about to let Nvidia waltz in late and have reviews abound. In the real world this speculation of some exorbitant flagship which in real terms has nothing to do with profit streams is stupid. At least unless you think today is a good day to unload your stock… "stupid is as stupid does".
IMO, they need to make sure that 7970 Ghz Edition are "available on shelves" first before thinking about 7990 as a "smoke screen".

Saving You- Jack is terribly ill and prisoner to the Master , The Master doesn't care about Jack being in bad health even as Jack is throwing up, The Master still continues to treat him cruelly, The Doctor comes and saves him. When The Doctor finds him Jack seems scared and very weak.
Jack had been killed over and over by The Master, he was getting tortured so much it was starting to make it harder on him, he was already very ill and not coping well with the torture. He gazed up weakly when the Master entered the room again.
Jack coughed weakly and was almost about to throw up , He really wasn't even sure if anybody would come from him. He felt beaten and very drained. He had tried to remain brave but the sicker and weaker he got the harder that became. His stomach lurched and he threw up. Being tied up, he couldn't just get to a bathroom, so he had to shame himself.
The Master laughed insane and looked at him "Not feeling good," He pointed his laser screwdriver at Jack. "Wonder how much more you can take before passing out." He grabbed Jack by his shirt collar and smirked. "Your precious Doctor won't come and save you now."
Jack coughed and stared up at him " Master," He winced , he was so bruised and beaten. His head was pounding. He really wanted to just lay down in a nice soft bed.
"Say it again, Say my name" The Master smirked a bit, his grip still tight around Jack's shirt collar.
Jack was so weak and dizzy, his skin had gone so pale and his fever was high. He gagged a bit forcing himself to not vomit again. He was starting to wonder if dying would be an easier way out of this. Not that he could die after what happened at the game station.

Winning Strategies: Secrets of the Best Printers
As we get close to the end of the year, it is fitting to ask why some printing businesses have survived and others went by the wayside; why some printing businesses have done well during this downturn and others have struggled.
The best weed out poor and underperforming people at every level. The best printing companies know that allowing people who aren't working to a high standard lowers the standards for every employee. High-performing employees will soon resent the presence of those who are not keeping up and results will suffer as a result. The rest tolerate underperformers and poor performers.
Is your company one of the best, or are you one of the rest?
Mitch Evans is president of Mitch Evans Consulting, which is targeted to meet the needs of the small commercial printing industry. His areas of expertise are strategic planning, valuation, mergers and acquisitions, financial planning, new technology, and "1-2-1" coaching.

In 1916, critics complained that 26-year-old Sergei Prokofiev's music was too modern, too hard on the ears, and lacking a sense of history. So that summer Prokofiev left for vacation with a plan. On this weekend's Performance Today, we'll hear Prokofiev's classically-inspired rebuttal, his Symphony No. 1. Plus, composer Bruce Adolphe has this week's Piano Puzzler.

Our salute to do that but you get my idea these are safe democratic bastions that have not gone red.
Since Ronnie Reagan but they're beginning did -- that -- right now.
And that's a stunning development investigated -- about it we're team -- -- that big auto bailout but a state in which voters really don't seem to be able to get against them.
So it's too early to say about ahead of the democrats' big party next week it is to -- to ignore.
States they all went easily -- a four years ago.
Kind of examples of that.
And -- wonder why so many Democrats are worried and some of the folks in charge of raising money formal Wear it one of the president's top fundraisers now on the phone.
-- -- -- -- On the -- still looks good for you guys.
But it is problematic.
-- -- do what do you think the way things are looking them.
But they you know wait in their early battleground states there are more competitive they're not.
I would like beat him but.
I think Michigan worked -- While he's doing well in Michigan -- of president leave here but that the -- -- -- would governor of and I think that they have not they've been no hit by -- employment.
But I think -- the president but he got a lot of credit for what he's done for your ability to be especially -- -- -- we're with General Motors.
-- seemed every resonating -- I you know you might be right in the -- that might go.
His way but right now.
The polls are dead even in that state again depending on the -- you look at but -- It shouldn't be that way.
For president rules all but rescued the state.
Our rescue those auto workers.
And a rescue that was ripped by the that both members of what is the Republican presidential ticket and yet it's got to get.
It's very competitive in that state.
Well -- they don't like a lot of the other battleground state is still struggling financially economy in the country struggling you know there's some popular -- Bomb but starter in places but -- in Wisconsin Ohio.
They are if they're struggling -- built their their liberal look at the president who brought in the nation and you -- an -- more accountable.
I think -- they're hoot what what I thought was recovered is supporting Obama Republican com.
Was I looked very Unita would that have been authority -- mostly Republican new Yorker and people from the New York part figured it out in Long -- And don't -- -- Romney if that speech and people who wanted to deport him umbilical lady there.
Who they're cheap -- -- -- competent -- vote for Obama but last -- -- and what incredible Obama this spot.
-- -- -- She that he didn't move on because -- -- negative I think it did the challenges is that.
Romney had to lay out more what you but it for the country I think when the voters in Michigan.
Ohio Wisconsin.
On the hear him and hear from them and hear the fact that the president -- -- general talked about poverty board to approve the economy they're not going to be -- -- Well everybody about I don't know I -- industries has always had to the holder grant you that on the inside is DiNardo and attacked during an.
Good for the goose can be problematic for the -- leave that aside do you have trouble though.
Raising money this go round vs last go around because on a crucial issue for example going after the rich started rich an -- he said.
Was a mistake.
And wanted to raise taxes -- most productive citizens you yourself disagreed with the president's approach on that.
How does that hurt.
The passion of of those most loyal to raise money for this president.
Yes bomb them back if -- in new Yorker did an article.
I'll be on raising taxes so our view of the president this administration.
Any approach in that distance that he packed with notre.
And best cared who now -- the Democratic Party I think they're you know it is very difficult for the Democratic Party and what those great money for the president.
To have a program that it's targeting increase -- is and targeting a pat on the wealthy.
And then expecting them to turn around -- in March our -- to.
You know the president and the Democratic Party if you look.
Are on the Republican Party when it come to -- would -- or is clearly -- Other Democratic Party is -- -- to get people to contribute money but -- their own financial interest.
-- and it -- difficult is equal to.
-- -- can be right about contributed.
When they are being attacked are important it is the best where they're well no -- I thought maybe people wouldn't you know many of them may end of -- Or a camera and they -- -- around.
It's on I hope to get this the united Charlotte this week if not be well good luck whatever -- That's a bi partisan --

European private jet company Vista jet -- high -- of seven point eight billion dollar deal for 56 new.
I'm Marty it luxury aircraft with an option for 86 more and the company.
Is finding unparalleled success in emerging markets joining me now for -- -- on the road is Thomas.
Founder and chairman of -- jets and he joins us now from London's -- welcome were big deal for your company but what you're finding his business travelers wanna go straight from China.
To Africa is that correct.
That -- good good evening -- you.
That's exactly correct we see very strong demand full point to point transportation around the globe.
It's really be emerging markets.
Which need to be connected so we see growth from Africa to China Russia to the Middle East and so on and so forth.
That's it relates to US companies they have overseas called for a corporations and and ventures and that's what we're serving -- well.
-- also one of the first western companies to get a license.
Out of Russia and and you're saying that Russia is actually exploding market for you for these luxury.
Private jets in -- a Barney -- are expensive aircraft are nice aircraft.
And you bottom flat out.
Yet we only the -- we made this is aviation simple.
We don't -- people to buy a fraction of an aircraft pub we have been told them we -- and we offer simple hourly rate for our clients.
We would sit down with them you know find out how many hours a year they need to.
And then we tailor -- program to them as a three page contract and would they here they go they fly as it relates to Russia.
But we -- the only Wesson company is offering west and build aircraft.
To fly within Russia Russia -- -- -- country as we all know from Moscow to bloody Moscow that's and I now flights so was.
That was a very important milestone in the in the history of the company.
I -- the aircraft structure very nice because there what it is affected by million dollar plane correct.
That yeah that's correct.
We have a policy of only flying -- new aircraft.
That something the emerging markets are really appreciating.
Because there that -- -- these industry was really to deploy twenty year old aircraft.
In markets like after com or or essential far East Asia and what -- -- -- Vissicchio that is those other moving markets they should be brand new aircraft.
Rather an old ones.
The US flying I mean you know what I'm -- in -- -- -- New York -- you are doing.
Of flights it to New York to Los Angeles the plug your Russian client your Chinese clients has cracked -- do -- presence in the United States.
Of course we fly all of our international lines into the US and we're picking up the US lines flying them internationally and on public that as explained earlier.
There's a lot of business for US corporations.
Who do not necessarily want to take their own -- into Africa -- to Russia.
Into China Middle East etc.
and they would use our services over here.
All right what is next three I mean these are fifteen passenger aircraft and certainly what this.
Multi billion dollar order that you just made are you gonna look to maybe expand maybe get larger jets -- go to 720 sevens anything larger.
We feel that the global express is -- -- sweet spot for long range international travel you do need 1213 hours range.
And with the soon to -- global 7008000.
That easily gets you anywhere point to point on the on the earth.
On the planet without any stop so while we believe that the top end of the market like Airbus -- Boeing is not a a scalable market.
-- business model lives of the exact same aircraft model fall our clients and that's with a global express are supposed to purpose.
All right it is a quarter -- an existing minutes we got stocks down the -- watching and IBM spin off from alone while ago.

ZFS is dog slow and eats data what else is new. EXT4 is faster, more reliable and better tested ZFS on Linux is a joke. If you want ZFS stick to Solaris and FreeBSD.
Having worked for proprietary software companies for a few years before founding my own company, I have to say no, there is no good reason to support proprietary software, ever. The primary reason for my opinion is simply that projects I worked on have been killed due to neglect from upper management. This is one of the worst possible fates a software developer can ever see for his life's work, it happens all too often in proprietary software companies, and it can't happen in open source.
Software freedom is important not only because of the rights that end-users receive. It is important for the rights guaranteed to software developers, and IMO this far outweighs the end-user importance.

@Rallos Zek
As the above benchmarks and user testimony prove, zfs on linux is not slow, so your statement has been proven false. Why the hostility? CDDL ?
Are there any that can do 3-way mirrors? Not some RAID1E crap, real 3-way mirrors? I pushed through an RFE to HP last year for this and the G8 Smart Arrays can do it, albeit with an extra-cost license. Maybe I had something to do with that, maybe I didn't, but 2-way mirrors suck. I've had the remaining half of a mirror go bad before a failed half could sync up a spare. The larger disks get, the longer this period of vulnerability is.

gilchrist one way sign |
At last month's meeting, random discussion of Gilchrist parking lingered, and board members decided they would table that talk until this month. At the Wednesday meeting the talk continued on ... and on ... and on. Whether the historic preservation board has any decision-making ability about parking on Gilchrist Avenue or not, talk continued at the March meeting.
Bob Fletcher, a Gilchrist Avenue resident and outspoken voice against parking on the Gilchrist median, told the historic preservation board that he and other residents have proposed approximately a dozen plans for Gilchrist parking. They are, at this time, trying to come to an agreement with churches on that avenue, as well as other island entities, to find a way to come to peace with more limited parking.
"There are several plans floating around about Gilchrist," he said. "Jack (Damioli) has a plan the Inn has presented as well. He has gotten the churches to come together with him and agree, and that is a huge step. I think we're close to an agreement. Hopefully we don't have to have a petition drive, or a vote, or a legal remedy. It's going to require some heavy lifting, and it's probably going to get nasty. I think it will be done, though, and 10 years from now people will be wondering what the argument was about."
Fletcher and the "Gilchrist group" have been trying to change parking on Gilchrist Avenue for at least five years, but the county has yet to approve plans.
Board member Tim Seibert said that Gilchrist Avenue should be considered as a "historic resource," and it should be designated as such. Why? Because when even more people start to come to the island in coming years, as he predicts they will, parking problems there will get even worse.
"Plant it the way Mrs. (Louise duPont) Crowninshield had it," he said. "Parallel park on both sides of the street ... what are you going to do when you have this big, strong, new bridge to bring tour buses to Boca Grande, and they turn people loose? Where do you park the buses? It was crowded this season like I've never seen, sometimes traffic at the bridge is backed up half a mile. When the mainland booms and happy good times are here again, people from up north are going to come and buy those condominiums by the Publix market. If we don't do something now, we'll be like every other dumb community, like Ft. Myers Beach."
Corinna Hammond, a resident of Gilchrist Avenue, made it clear that she views her street's parking issues as a definite problem.
"If we wanted to live on a parking lot, we would have built our houses next to Wal-mart," she said. "I think it's time the community comes together on this historic part of our town. I'm sure we could have slightly restricted parking, or designated parking. There are other places for people to park within two or three blocks."
She continued.
"I think Tim is right about traffic coming over. The Methodist Church function hall will only become more busy. It will become the VFW Hall, where people are going to come for everything. Grande Aire had a meeting there, and there were 85 trucks parked out there. That was fine, but what I'm suggesting is that this place will be used more and more, and for things other than on Sundays. We have to come to some agreement between those who live on Gilchrist and those who use it for a parking garage."
Gloria Sajgo, principal planner for the Lee County Planning Division, said that this was not necessarily an issue that could be addressed by the historic preservation board, that the issues were much more island-wide and that the board had the authority to make suggestions, but not decisions.
"This is more a problem of a lack of consensus," she said. "This is not in this board's perview."
To which Fletcher responded, "We have about 5,000 residents on the island, and somewhere between 900,000 and one million bridge crossings a year. I request, Gloria, that staff stop saying 'consensus.' Jesus Christ couldn't arrive here and have a consensus. With Gilchrist Avenue, there will be people who don't want parking and those who want to shell it over and have parking. I think the word 'consensus' is unfair to the rest of us."
Seibert said that the board should "read the directions carefully" as to their true powers.
"We do have powers," he said. "They were established about five years ago and I think they've been forgotten. I left Sarasota because they destroyed it, I'd hate to see that happen here."
Board member Richard Robb said he wasn't sure if the historic board had any input into the decision-making process on Gilchrist parking, either.
"If your neighbor chooses to paint their house purple, this board has nothing to say about it," he said. "Cisterns, as well, are a wonderful idea, but we have no say in them either. This is a planning issue."
Other people who came to the podium at the meeting had other issues to discuss. Helen Fraser, a resident of the Historic District, not only agreed with what Seibert and Fletcher were saying, but added to it with the problems of signage and bathrooms.
"We are facing acute situations, and they will become more so as the bridge opens," she said. "The first thing I think about with Boca Grande is no signs. They destroy what we think of as small town living. I think we would start taking down signs that say public parking is available. We have public parking spaces provided by the county that are usually empty. But on the historic streets we have so many cars, sometimes you can't get out of your driveway. People who come over the bridge for the day to go to the beach, with all their paraphernalia, and while I love to see them, these people need a place to go to the bathroom. They don't elect to come back into town to find a place. We put up with stuff that none of you would like to hear about. It has been brought up to Bob (Green) at the Community Center, and he asked if we would like to have port-a-potties at the end of every road. I'm sure he was joking."
As a final note to the meeting, Hammond, a history buff, stood and addressed the board and audience one final time.
"I have been listening to this, and I have to say this because this is a historic preservation board meeting," she said. "It is not Gil-CREST, it is GIL-CHRIST. He was the governor of this state. And all who live on that street are Gilchristians."

Five teams will represent Union County on Friday for the bowling state championships in Jackson. After regionals two weeks ago, the teams have prepared for the final match of the season, and each has its eye on bringing another state championship to the county. East Union enters as the top seed for both the boys and girls, and for the teams, practice was as usual in preparation for state.
Northeast Mississippi Community College's baseball team opened the season on Sunday, February 17 with a sweep of Southeastern Community College and Arkansas Baptist College at Harold T. White Field in Booneville. Northeast knocked off Southeastern Community College from West Burlington, Iowa in five innings in the season opener before downing the Buffaloes of Arkansas Baptist 10-1 in the nightcap. In the season opener against the Blackhawks, Northeast jumped on the visitors early and never let up.
Northeast Mississippi Community College women's softball team kicked off the 2013 season in grand fashion with a pair of wins and a tie at the Rush Invitational in Meridian on February 15-16. Northeast (2-1-1) opened the two-day affair with a 6-3 win over host Meridian in eight innings before battling undefeated Copiah-Lincoln to a 3-3 tie in the nightcap of the first day.
East Union's road in the division tournament pinned both of the Urchins and Lady Urchins against Baldwyn in the semifinals last Thursday. After falling to the Bearcats and Lady Bearcats, East Union played in the consolation games on Friday. The Lady Urchins were defeated by Baldwyn, 77-46, behind a 32-point performance by Ayana Ragin. The Lady Bearcats jumped out to an 18-5 lead after the first quarter, opening the game scoring the first 12 points. Ashley Leach led the Lady Urchins with eight points at the break, that saw Baldwyn ahead, 34-21.
Ingomar took a second place finish after a 75-54 set back against defending 1A champion Coldwater in last Friday's championship in Region 2-1A. The Falcons advanced to the finals after defeating H.W. Byers, 67-51, on Thursday. Henry Foster's 20 point performance led the Falcons, followed by 16 points from Sam Cobb and 14 points from Devonte Williamson. In Friday's finals, Foster led all scorers with 25 points, but the Falcons were unable to overcome an early deficit against Coldwater.
The Bulldogs prepare for its north half run after finishing in second place in the Region 2-4A tournament last week in Ecru.
It was finally Ingomar's night to shine, and it could not have happened at a better time than in the first round of the division tournament on Tuesday.
Having dropped two of three games to West Union this season, the Lady Falcons overcame a second half deficit, defeating the Lady Eagles, 44-34.
Ingomar celebrated senior night with two wins over Hickory Flat, beginning with a 56-43 victory on the girls' side. Reid Little led the Lady Falcons with 18 points, eight of which came in the first quarter that helped Ingomar build a 19-5 lead. The Lady Falcons maintained the double-digit lead throughout the game, but Brianna Reeves would bring the Lady Rebels within 10 points in the fourth quarter. Megan Roth led the Lady Rebels with 14 points, all scored in the second half, followed by 12 points from Kaitlyn Wilson.
East Union leads Union County back to the state championships in bowling after finishing first during the regional matches last week. The Urchins will travel to Jackson as the top seed after defeating West Union in the Baker's Style finals. The Eagles were in front going into the final, but East Union topped its county rival for the top seed. East Union's top bowlers for the regional match were Bailey Spruill, bowling a high game of 208, Zachary Randall with a game high of 204 and Josh Steele with a 203.
The Lady Bulldogs are on a hot streak entering the playoffs and have won 13 of their last 14 games including an 81-34 win over Lewisburg on Monday. Led by 28 points from Jazmine Spears, New Albany finished district play a perfect 5-0, wrapping up the Region 2-4A title and the number one seed in next week's division tournament at North Pontotoc.

Welcome to our after the show show former secretary of state Madeleine Albright first female secretary of state joins us right now you've -- is -- your fourth book.
Fifth finished I find it fascinating that you chose to wait until your fifth -- to tell maybe the most personal and painful story.
But -- what happened in my memoirs and madam secretary which was the first book.
I started in on the story and get what they want -- in that book obviously was some of the record as secretary of state that I began this story.
-- then I wrote a book about the role of god and religion and foreign policy and then I wrote a book called memo to the president elect and I no idea who that person was what I read a book about my pins.
And but in the -- time I was doing a lot of research on this this was a very complicated story.
And I wanted to get it right.
And I do we did a lot of work researching material and then traveling to both England and again to the Czech Republic to look at the various places.
And and you grew up and thinking that you were one religion but then somebody just before you were about I assume a great positions that -- -- -- genealogy.
-- -- -- -- more even inch single that what happened was when I.
Went as ambassador the United Nations it was the first time I really would have -- visible public figure people started to write to me.
In in decipher able handwriting and languages and nobody at my staff could read -- -- read some letters like that area who's -- and and they -- weird I mean they'd say you know I need money or any of these or.
And then as you're reading those web to the best of liability when -- -- time and if I could read them.
And then people would say well I knew your father in high school in 1915 which -- be impossible since he was born in 1909.
And then -- that kind of like November December November 96 I got a letter from somebody that had all the information I mean the names of my.
Parents and the towns they came from and the dates were right and they sent.
And we know that they were came from -- Jewish families.
So it was just as I was getting vetted to be secretary of stating you are brought into the White House counsel and they ask you all kinds of questions about taxes and various things and you -- you -- bad things like that and then -- Said is there anything about you that we didn't ask that you think we should know.
And I said well it's perfectly possible that -- of Jewish background and they -- so what the president is not anti Semitic.
So over the holidays I've talked to my three daughters and I went through all that with them and I said this is perfectly possible like the youngest -- -- -- do we were talking about all the various aspects of it.
And it was not until there was a reporter from the Washington Post and an -- an -- when he noticed that you're not allowed to talk to the press.
Between the time that your name and then you confirms.
So we gave him some names of people and he is the one who then -- -- I was confirmed.
Have confronted me win in the information it's one thing to find -- you're Jewish it's another thing to find out how many people died.
In concentration camps and that was that horrific aspect.
So was your family were they practicing Jews before you move to -- Great Britain because then.
You became a Catholic right so it was your fat -- your family of one faith and then changed as a way of trying to avoid what was happening well this.
This is the issue and as far as I know they -- not practicing.
They weren't Czechoslovak Jews from the research that I've done most of them were very secular.
And from what I've been able to find out they were not at all practicing or religious.
They then did we -- all baptized when we were in England in 1941 and I've speculated about that so this is what I think.
Is that they didn't do it to escape the Holocaust because minority in England.
They didn't do it to fill their friends because they're friends already knew.
They theoretically.
And I think that what happened was my mother was very spiritual in many ways she had a very good friend they were friends in my family's.
Who were Catholic and I think that that is what persuaded them but I do not know that is -- -- -- -- can only speculate about.
And my thought is that.
If they had -- like five years if -- five years later when they knew how many Jews had died they would not have done it I'm sure because they were very.
Humanistic and had the right principles but I don't know the answer and -- speculated.
Pick and he's but -- spent a couple hundred pages thinking about it and room and -- on there and I -- write a book is very cathartic you've done -- now.
How do you feel.
Well I feel unbelievably.
Well first of all very sad because this is a very sad story but I also feel.
I I found a great deal of resilience in this is that people who underwent such terrible things.
I'm not not just -- has been generally the people that I write about.
In terms of kind of coming back and being strong and and I did this through any number of reasons one to find out the story.
But -- because I think I owed it you know in in terms of honoring and remembering.
And then putting it within its historical context.
And then also trying to draw some lessons about.
How good lessons -- leadership and you know what's this is just an accident that I have been involved in some task force is to prevent genocide.
And made some suggestions with former secretary of defense Bill Cohen about what our government can do that would be better.
In terms of setting up warning signals.
And two days ago President Obama put added directive making sure that some of the suggestions we -- -- now embedded in the system but the -- so you're so kind thank you very much.
It's great it's a fascinating.
Book and and you've been a fascinating life and people should check it out thank -- winter thank you voters head of state Madeleine Albright.
Now treat about it as well have a great -- everyone's great we'll -- his book as well let's say.
That okay great.

What is terrorism
Re: WHAT IS TERRORISM
change in a peacful way, by governments/countries who are against such people or groups.
But once a government gives a a person or group that label, and depending how influencial that government/country is,
then many other governments/countries follow suit.
A terrorist can succeed without violence inflicting terror on a country just by the thought that a terrorist is
in that country,by way of disruption of the normal way of life.
Never forget that over many hundreds of years it was not called terrorism this is a relatively recent term for it.
If i am correct, i think it goes back to the days of pirates or the french revolution etc, and a person in politics said that that they inflict terror.
Do not forget, mention the word terrorist to the majority of people and they will think of violence.

Re: WHAT IS TERRORISM
Or does the definition of/need for terrorism in your view, to be violent?
Irrespective of what the US believes, must we also believe this too? We all should be against violence as a tool for change.
Don't you think so?
When a political party gives credence and acceptance to a group or persons that uses intimidation, coercion, and violence as a tool for change - I say that is irresponsible. It gives respectiblity to the improper use of 'freedom of speech' and says to the public that it's alright to take to the streets and be crude and vulgar, looting, and arson - in the name of democracy. But what It does is take away from and makes a farce of democratic ideals; when the government, legislature, and judiciary, as well as society at large can be intimidated and coerced by a non-constitutional outside force whose tactics is the threat of violence to the majority of the population to stifle the voice of majority of peace-loving citizens.

Re: WHAT IS TERRORISM
After one month of capturing one terrorist; we Thais can take pride in the effectiveness and efficiency of Thailand's security apparatuses. They have caught another terrorists!! This terrorists was apprehended within minutes after setting off three bombs.
I personally was impressed - NOT!
That the terrorist was 'captured' only after blowing off his own legs does not give me much comfort in the ability of our National Police Commissioner and our security apparatus. If he, the Police Commissioner, were someone else other than thaksin's brother-in-law, he would have been removed from his position straightaway. Take for example his predecessor's removal for not closing down and allowing gambling dens in Bangkok. I would say that this, Valentine event, is a little more serious with more serious repercussions; wouldn't you say?
And in the way of thaksin clones - they say by dissembling, that it was not an act of or for sabotage, or terrorism; but meant for an assassination attempt!!
Excuse me!! That we have had this terrorist and his friends (who are still at large) in Thailand for the past weeks; is akin to offering them safe harbor to plan and execute any act of terrorism, is in and of itself - IRRESPONSIBLE!!
This past month, I haven't heard our distinguish barbie pm yingluck denounce terrorism in any form, and set as a priority to working closely and in conjunction with relevant international agencies to put a stop to and the eradication of terrorism in any form that seeks to harm and affect the safety of citizens of the world and in Thailand. Because even if we want to keep our heads in the sand and mouth that it has nothing to do with us - it does. That's why they call it international terrorism because it has no borders, and affects all countries all over the world.
Finally, our government said it was a
!! A small matter when 1 bomd blew up the safe house; a 2nd bomd blew up a taxi-cab; and the 3rd blew up the terrorist's legs. By what quality measure do they use to distinguish the severity of a terrorist act or event??small matter

Re: WHAT IS TERRORISM
Blanket statements of any kind prove very difficult to defend. The founders of Israel were mostly terrorists against the \\ ////. for example. No one can deny that innocent Germans were killed and injured by their bombings and other techniques.
My feeling is that the association of ethics with politics ( and by extension, warfare )is remarkably rare, and like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Re: WHAT IS TERRORISM
In case you missed it, my point was that ethics and politics and/or war don't belong in the same sentence, so to speak. Terrorism is a tactic of warfare related to guerrilla war.It is a technique used where a small and relatively powerless group seeks an objective against a larger, more powerful foe.
If you attempt to define war in ethical terms, you're on quicksand for a number of reasons. Mostly, that we don't all agree on the same set of ethics. I had a Christian tell me the other day that "Thou shalt not kill" didn't apply to warfare because "Thou shalt not murder" is actually the original meaning. Of course as murder is defined by local law and culture, so this opens the door to almost anything, like "honor killing", stoning to death for adultery, Auschwitz, etc.
War is a time honored human activity, like politics and prostitution, none of which bear intense ethical scrutiny. Don't like it? Change species!

what is terrorism
And I am against violence in any shape or form. Violence against a legal and lawful government by a group of people who seek to incite violence and divisiveness on behalf of a person or persons in the form of mobs being let loose to rampage across the city and its environs; killing, arson, and looting.
I would agree with CK that some contributors are for a better word, 'wishy washy', and maybe don't wish to or even want to come out in favor of or against "violence". Instead of sitting on the fence and not stating exactly what one thinks is to be a "dissembler" and disingenuous. To make it easier state your feelings with conditions; as an example, just say that - violence is unacceptable in any form in a civilized society that has a lawful and legal government, with laws and system of justice - "unless it is against tyranny, dictatorship, and violence against the states' own people by the government (as in the case of Cambodia, Serbia, Syria and Libya) or outside perpetrators (as in the case of Hitler's \\ ////)".

Re: What is terrorism
Some people say that violence is not acceptable as i do.But i would fight against terrany and people who would threaten the lives of my loved ones.
Some of these people are hypocrites who make statements about violence and how it is not acceptable.
I have done my tours of duty in NI in the 70's. Also been involved in other terrorist atrocities.

Re: What is terrorism

No wonder it seemed so hard and so long to condemn and denouce violence!! But with a caveat no less
Well I guess that working in the NI, it is and was a a necessary sop to idealism and morality to justify violence and atrocities.It is human nature to use violence to achieve what they belive in, and in their eyes it is justified.
Atrocities is such a strong word connoting bloodthirsty acts of barbarism (crimes) against humanity. But I guess it's alright to morally accept terrorism and atrocities as long as we can justify and we believe in what we are doing.
Never thought of it that way. Never will either ja!

Re: What is terrorism
It is human nature to use violence to achieve what they belive in, and in their eyes it is justified.
Really it is the most bases, vilest, of human nature. One that is more akin to animal instinct than to rational and logical human beings.
And that's what we're talking about. What do we or can we as human beings; beings who should have a high level of "humanity", accept to be moral and ethical acts.
Terrorism is morally accetable?
Atrocities against fellow human beings is acceptable?
No amount of justification or (ir)rationality can allow anyone to commit an immoral act. To make excuses and be apologists for such acts is to be as 'perplexed' states: disingenous and a dissembler. To incite mobs towards such acts just shows the base and vile nature of those leaders who will use any means to achieve their own goals.

Good morning and welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that's debating if we should hit opening day up at Loveland Ski Area today."The Luv" is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year, and we want to be a part of the celebration, we also have been kind of itching to strap on the shred sled and make a few turns.Here's hoping this season is better than last, which shouldn't be too hard to top considering it was one of the worst on record. We have a hunch this year WILL be better.Also, today in 2001 Apple unveiled the state-of-the-art IPod. We must say we've come a long ways, from eight tracks to tapes to CDs. Even a compact disc seems a bit outdated these days. Anybody out there still use tapes? That's about all the space we have today. Keeping it short and sweet. We out.

text: Friday WIAA Wrestling Tournament ResultsMADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Although the Tomahawk senior is poised to make history, Nick Hagar took more delight in having two teammates join him in the individual state wrestling tournament finals. Hagar is on target to become Wisconsin's 10th four-time state champion. That's after he won a pair of matches Friday to advance to the championship round of the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association individual state wrestling tournament at the Kohl Center. Joining Hagar in the finals are Tomahawk juniors Zach Zehner (48-1) at 125 pounds and Rudy Chagoya (27-2) at 130 pounds. "The best part of it is sharing it with those guys," Hagar said Friday. "Our goal is three state champions tomorrow. "Nothing compares to this. I couldn't ask for a better moment or for a better situation than to share it with two talented kids." Hagar (48-0) won the Division 2 crown at 125 pounds in 2006, at 135 in 2007 and at 140 last year. He has not lost a match since his sophomore year and has a 197-5 career mark. "I've always taken it one match at a time. I'd be foolish to change my approach now," he said. After receiving a first-round bye on Thursday, Hagar beat Kewaskum sophomore Bo Seibel 4-0 in the quarterfinals Friday afternoon. He then pinned Bloomer junior Zach Borofka in 3 minutes, 8 seconds in the semifinals. "Why wait?" Hagar said when asked what his approach was in securing his quick semifinal victory. "I can't wait to get to the finals." Next up for Hagar, who is headed to South Dakota State on a full scholarship next year, is Freedom senior Sam Manders (38-7). Two returning Division 1 state champions kept alive their bids to repeat on Friday. Germantown sophomore Jesse Thielke (42-1) won by technical fall over DeForest freshman Mason Geary in the semifinals. Thielke will meet Arrowhead sophomore Jake Sueflohn (38-4) in the 125-pound finals. Thielke won the 112 title last year. Marshfield sophomore Brad Dolezal, the defending 140-pound champion, beat Brookfield East junior Joey Woppert 5-4 in their semifinal match at 140. Dolezal (42-4) will try to repeat as champion when he meets Wausau West senior Steven Monk (51-2). Four returning champions in Division 2 advanced to the finals but none had a tougher draw than Ellsworth senior Hayden Hauschildt. The defending champ at 135 pounds, Hauschildt rallied for an 8-5 victory over Belleville co-op senior Kalvin York in their Division 2 145-pound semifinal. York (39-1), a University of Wisconsin recruit, is in line to be a four-time state placewinner and was a state runner-up the past two seasons.
