Taxes that appear on your online order are approximate. The actual taxes charged to your credit card will reflect the applicable state and local sales taxes, and will be calculated when your order is shipped. Orders shipped to AZ, CA, NV or UT will have all applicable local and state sales taxes added to your total order and to your shipping charges where appropriate.
The Internet Tax Freedom Act (ITFA), which was signed into law on October 21, 1998, prevents sales and use taxes on any and all commerce conducted over the Internet. State and local governments are allowed to impose sales and use taxes on all such electronic sales, provided that the tax (and its rate) are the same as that which would be imposed on the transactions if they were conducted in a more traditional manner, such as over the phone or through mail order.
The ITFA is intended to prevent any jurisdiction from imposing special taxes on Internet transactions, other than such taxes that a jurisdiction already has the ability to impose. The ITFA prevents the imposition of any such taxes through November 1, 2014.
Currently, most e-commerce companies use ITFA taxation rules used by mail-order companies, which are based on constitutional guidelines for interstate commerce. Generally this means that states can only require companies to collect sales tax in states where they have business operations, and as a result, a company will not collect sales tax in states where they have no business operations. If someone were to order something from one of our catalogs, that person would only be charged sales tax if he or she shipped his or her order to a state where Sport Chalet has physical operations. Example: If a person shipped something to Wyoming, Sport Chalet would not be required to collect sales tax because it has no business operations in Wyoming.

It's Friday night, and Post & Beam is jam-packed. While soul music plays, friends and couples and families eat deviled eggs and scoop up pizza, chattering so loudly that even the giant flat-screen TV over the open kitchen is drowned out. Sitting at the corner table is Denzel Washington, his arms draped along the banquette as if he lived here.
This restaurant is a homecoming of sorts for chef Govind Armstrong, whose last L.A. project, 8 oz. Burger Bar, closed last year. Since then, he has opened restaurants in Miami and appeared as a guest judge on Top Chef. But before that, Armstrong was known here as the kid who started in the Spago kitchen at 13, who worked with Mark Peel and Nancy Silverton at Campanile, who opened his own Beverly Hills restaurant when he was just 32.

Save to foursquare |
And now, Post & Beam. It's a restaurant that's a little hard to define: part neighborhood bistro, part modern soul restaurant, part pizzeria. It's not pub enough to be a gastropub and not Southern enough to be wholly defined by that cuisine, either — even as Italy has its influence on the food in the pizzas and in many of the appetizers. The restaurant is a mishmash, a combination of the passions and backgrounds of Armstrong and owner Brad Johnson. But mostly it is a purveyor of comfort and the feel-good ethos of local eating.
There's a sense that Johnson and Armstrong are looking to build an oasis here, tucked along the edge of the parking decks and blocky concrete of Crenshaw Plaza. Baldwin Hills, the primarily black, South L.A. neighborhood near where Armstrong was born, hasn't traditionally been a dining destination. But it's a community hungry for fresh options.
Inside the restaurant you're greeted by soaring ceilings, a wood-heavy interior and the smiles of a genuinely welcoming service staff. These days, it's hard to find a new restaurant in L.A. that doesn't tout "farm to table" as a defining characteristic, and Post & Beam is no different. "Have you dined with us before?" your server will ask. "Well, let me tell you a little about our menu. We are a farm-to-table concept. ..." There's even an on-site vegetable garden.
If the menu takes its cues from all over the map, let's start with the South. Those deviled eggs come with smoked catfish on top, and might be better if they weren't still refrigerator-frigid by the time they hit the table. There's also a heavy Southern influence in the way the entrées come together. Diners are instructed to choose two "small plates" to accompany each "large plate." The small plates would be more accurately described as sides, and the construct is like a modern version of a meat-and-three, that classic Southern and soul setup by which you create the makeup of your plate.
Despite all the free will, some combinations seem fated. The thick pork chop, brined in beer and draped with charred onions, lives out its destiny, accompanied by long-cooked greens and a jumble of black-eyed peas, sweet potato and house-smoked bacon. Broccolini with chili and garlic is far better suited to the steak, or the crisp-skinned cast-iron chicken.
A chef once told me that growing his own vegetables put them in a completely different light: You don't blithely overcook something you've seen through from a seed to your cutting board. That seems to be the case here: At Post & Beam, the veggies are where it's at. Those long-cooked greens have exactly the right amount of acid and base, and are tender without succumbing to mush. Cauliflower with braised chickpeas has its roasty goodness brightened by a luminous salsa verde.
The pizza portion of the menu is less successful — the toppings, including house-made sausage and black kale, are first rate, but they tend to slide right off the crust, which lacks any discernible char. As a bar snack with the (slightly watery) cocktails or a glass of wine, the pizza suffices; as the main event, the veggies leave it in the dust.
Plant-based dishes win out in the appetizer department as well. Simple but lovingly constructed salads are presented as quiet tributes to snappy greens and creamy cheeses, while the meatballs are fine but forgettable. A crossover dish, penne with short-rib Bolognese, gets its charm from the generous amount of arugula that tangles with the pasta and strips of shaved Parmesan.
There are straight-up disappointments on the menu, including mussels whose shells shatter when handled, in a paprika-laced broth that does nothing for that smoky spice or the mollusks that swim in it. But the worst is a buttermilk biscuit served with strawberries and cream for dessert. Sconelike in shape and consistency, its density and arid flavor couldn't be saved by the summery sweetness of the strawberries.
I'd love to see this menu veer off the standard pork-chicken-salmon-beef format, as well as offer some wines that are more food-friendly. I get that comfort is the name of the game here, but comfort doesn't always have to equal safe.
During one meal, a final dish of warm chocolate pudding epitomizes everything that's right about this restaurant. It has elements of childhood pleasure, the nostalgia factor made all the better in its slightly bitter, bracing finish.

Roomate's mother-in-law got paid $20234 past week. she been making cash on the computer and moved in a $425000 house. All she did was get fortunate and set to work the tips made clear on this web page lazycash42.c()m
Where is it mentioned the food needs to be edgy? I thought it said something about not being too safe, like maybe a snapper instead of the standard salmon. Do you really think Besha believes the food would be better if chef Govind was making riccotta rum gnocchi dipping dots?
sorry, i agree with besha. there is nothing wrong with doing comfort food, i just wish it was better than it was here. she was unduly kind to the pizza, as it was just plain awful. the crust was far too thick, the toppings were cold. calling it uninspired is being generous. perhaps edgier cuisine is not what's called for, but better execution as well as inspiration would do wonders for the restaurant. personally i think you are not giving the people around the neighborhood enough credit for knowing good food.
what George replied I'm amazed that anyone able to earn $5349 in one month on the internet. did you see this site httplazycash42.c()m
as Frances said I am dazzled that anyone able to get paid doller5846 in four weeks on the internet. have you read this page lazycash42.c()m
I probably wouldn't eat at Post and Beam, but really enjoyed your review...keep it coming...

LONDON — Hoping to quell controversy after large swaths of seats appeared unfilled, London Olympic organizers said British troops and schoolchildren had been given free tickets Sunday to fill many of the vacant rows.
A day after the city reveled in the splendor of Danny Boyle's critically acclaimed Opening Ceremonies, many locals were piqued Saturday when television footage showed empty seats at some of the most popular sporting events, including swimming and gymnastics, that they had been told were sold out. Such scenes ignited speculation that corporate sponsors had been provided tickets they weren't using, leaving the public on the outside looking in.

Based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, Message In A Bottle stars Robin Wright Penn as Theresa Osborne, a writer for the Chicago Tribune. While her son visits her cheating ex-husband, Theresa goes on a vacation by herself. One day, while running on the beach, she finds a bottle washed up on the shore. She opens it and inside finds a love letter unlike any she's ever read. Captivated by the author's words of love, she returns to her job at the Tribune where she convinces her boss to run an article about the mystery writer, known only as "G." He approves, and Theresa begins her hunt. Scrutinizing every physical detail of the letter and the path the bottle may have taken, she eventually locates Garret Blake (Kevin Costner), a North Carolina boat-restorer who has not been the same since the tragic death of his beloved wife Catherine. Since her death, Garret has written several letters to his dead wife, put them in a bottles, and let them loose in the sea. As Theresa spends time with Garret, she quickly falls in love with him, though she neglects to tell him she knows about the letters. Garret, prodded by his cantankerous, no-nonsense dad, Dodge (Paul Newman), emerges from his shell of grief and develops an interest in Theresa as well. Theresa returns to Chicago and Garret soon visits her; he meets her son, Jason (Jesse James), but also discovers her knowledge of the letters. Eventually the two, who have both lost love, must cast off their emotional baggage and decide if they will pursue love even if it can't always last. ~ Ron Wells, Rovi

James Bond, the world's greatest secret agent, is sent once more into the breach in the name of Queen, Country, and a dry martini. In the 19th Bond adventure, 007 (Pierce Brosnan) must resolve a potentially deadly power struggle between two unstable nations, with control of the world's oil supply as the ultimate prize. Bond is assigned as bodyguard to Elektra King (Sophie Marceau), the daughter of a petroleum magnate who was brutally murdered, and is trying to foil the fiendish plot of Renard (Robert Carlyle), a villain who was shot in the head with an unusual result: he cannot feel physical pain, an apparent failing that proves to be a considerable asset. Denise Richards appears as Dr. Christmas Jones, an expert on nuclear weapons, alongside Desmond Llewelyn as Q, Judi Dench as M, Samantha Bond as Miss Moneypenny, and John Cleese as R. Alternative rock band Garbage performs the theme song. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Frogs For Snakes
This "neo-noir comic thriller" from director Amos Poe focuses on struggling actress Eva (Barbara Hershey), a waitress who moonlights by making collections for her ex-husband, loan shark Al (Robbie Coltrane). Her day job is at a Lower Manhattan diner owned by Quint (Ian Hart). Others on the scene are Eva's new boyfriend Zip (John Leguizamo), aspiring actress Myrna (Lisa Marie), Al's girlfriend Simone (Debi Mazar), tough thug Gascone (Ron Perlman), and Al's driver U.B. (David Deblinger). Eva is ready to drop both collecting and acting, dreaming of a picket-fence lifestyle with her son Augie (Zak Kerkoulas), but Al needs her for just one more job -- locating the missing $600,000 stolen from him by Flav (Justin Theroux). Al also plans to stage a production of David Mamet's American Buffalo, and he offers a role to U.B. -- if he will kill Zip. Shown at the 1998 Berlin Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, Rovi

A lot of people like to say that their pets think they're human, but Trudy Lintz (Rene Russo) has taken this notion to a new level: she likes to treat her pets as if they were human. A wealthy New Yorker, Trudy has a menagerie of animals living in her apartment, including dogs, horses, ducks, and four chimpanzees whom she dresses in human clothing and treats as if they were her own children. Trudy's husband (Robbie Coltrane) is fully aware of his wife's eccentricities but has learned to live with them. However, this gets a bit more difficult when Trudy is persuaded to adopt Buddy, an infant gorilla. Buddy is a tiny creature in poor health when Trudy first meets him, but with love and care she nurses the gorilla back to health. However, the rejuvenated Buddy starts growing into adulthood, and while the chimps are small and docile enough to wear human clothing and obey Trudy's instructions, Buddy becomes a several-hundred-pound adult who hears the call of the wild too clearly to do what Trudy wants, which becomes painfully obvious during a trip to the World's Fair. Jim Henson's Creature Shop helped create the special-effects animals used in the film. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Cracker: Series 03
Season three of of the hard-boiled British cop drama Cracker is technically the "longest" of the series' seasons, comprised of three different stories rather than the standard two. First on the docket is the two-part "Brotherly Love," in which self-abusing, self-loathing psychologist Eddie "Fitz" Fitzgerald (Robbie Coltrane) gets his act together long enough to help the police locate a serial killer of prostitutes. As a bonus, Fitz learns the identity of the man who raped his police contact and sometimes lover Det. Sgt. Jane Penhaligon (Geraldine Somerville) in the previous season's "Men Should Weep." The second of the season's two-parters, "Best Boys," pits Fitz against a gay murderer who may have been motivated by a hopeless romance. Cracker concludes with its final two-part mystery, "True Romance," in which Fitz is saddled with a mysterious admirer -- who turns out to be an extremely methodical homicidal maniac. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Pierce Brosnan made his first appearance as James Bond in this action thriller, the 17th in the series (excluding the 1967 Casino Royale and the 1983 Never Say Never Again) featuring the suave British super-agent. As the story begins, Agent 007 and his partner, Agent 006 (Sean Bean), pull a daring raid on a chemical weapons plant in the Soviet Union; however, they are captured by Russian troops, and while Bond is able to escape, 006 is not so lucky. Several years later, the Soviet Union and the Cold War are a thing of the past, but Bond is still at work ferreting out evildoers everywhere. Xenia Onatopp (Famke Janssen), a beautiful but vicious villain working with the Russian Mafia, spearheads the theft of the controls to GoldenEye, a high-tech satellite weapons system, and with her gunmen, she kills most of the soldiers and guards at a top-secret military facility in the process. Bond joins forces with Natalya Simonova (Izabella Scorupco), one of the base's few survivors, to help track down Onatopp's minions and the controls to GoldenEye, which can destroy all electronic circuits in a given area in a matter of seconds; however, in time, Bond discovers the true identity of the criminal mastermind who is behind this bid for unholy power and world domination -- none other than Alec Trevelyan, the man Bond once knew as 006. In addition to Brosnan, GoldenEye also marked another significant cast change for the Bond series -- Judi Dench made her debut as M, Bond's superior. Minnie Driver also has a cameo as a nightclub singer. Sadly, this was the last film in the Bond series for special-effects supervisor Derek Meddings, who died in the midst of production; the film was dedicated to him. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Season two of the gloomy, cynical British cop drama Cracker opens with the three-part mystery "To Be a Somebody," in which abrasive, self-destructive psychologist Eddie "Fitz" Fitzgerald (Robbie Coltrane), working in concert with the local police, manages to collar a demented middle-aged "political activist" -- this despite the fact that Fitz has suffered a mild heart attack. In the course of events, Fitz's police officer colleague Det. Sgt. Jimmy Beck (Lorcan Cranitch) is murdered, and is replaced by DCI Charlie Wise (Ricky Tomlinson). The season winds up with another three-parter, "Men Should Weep," which focuses on Fitz's efforts to trap a serial rapist. Things get personal for Fitz when his casual lover, Det. Sgt. Jane Penhaligon (Geraldine Somerville), is herself raped -- though the most likely suspect may not be the culprit. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The two-part opening episode "The Woman in the Attic" couldn't have been more typical for the hard-bitten British cop series Cracker. Severely hung over after losing all his money on the horses, making an ass of himself at a dinner party, and compelling his wife to walk out on him, bleary-eyed psychologist Eddie "Fitz" Fitzgerald (Robbie Coltrane) awakens to find that things can get even worse: one of his students has been murdered, and the police are nowhere near solving the case. Offering his services as a "cracker" to use his professional skills in tracking down the culprit, Fitz thereby launches the off-and-on police career that will sustain him through three seasons on Britain's ITV1 network. Subsequent episodes during Cracker's inaugural season include another two-parter, "One Day a Lemming Will Fly," featuring Tess Thomson as Fitz's troubled daughter, Katie; and the three-part "To Say I Love You," in which Fitz tries to clean up his act to impress his attractive police contact Sgt. Jane Penhaligon (Geraldine Somerville) -- and along the way, he chases down a British version of Bonnie and Clyde. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Of all the characters in TV's "unlikely detective" genre, the leading character of the British cop series Cracker may well have been the unlikeliest. Robbie Coltrane starred as Dr. Eddie "Fitz" Fitzgerald, a brilliant psychologist -- not to mention a chronic gambler, alcoholic, chain smoker, overeater, and serial philanderer. Despite these shortcomings (and others too numerous to mention), Fitz was much revered by the local constabulary for his talent as a "cracker," using his professional skills to solve crimes so complex that they invariably left the official police totally baffled. Others in the cast included Barbara Flynn as Fitz's long-suffering wife, Judith, Geraldine Somerville as Fitz's police contact and sometimes lover Det. Sgt. Jane Penhaligon, and his other colleagues DCI Charlie Wise (Ricky Tomlinson) and Det. Sgt. Jimmy Beck (Lorcan Cranitch). When Beck was murdered at the outset of season two, he was replaced by DCI David Bilborough (Christopher Eccleston). Debuting September 27, 1993, on ITV1, Cracker originally aired in a weekly, one-hour format, with its storylines taking up two to three consecutive episodes. These were re-edited as "TV movies" when Cracker was subsequently rebroadcast in the United States. The series ended after three seasons and a one-off special, "White Ghost," which first aired on October 28, 1996. An American TV version of Cracker, starring Robert Pastorelli in the old Robbie Coltrane role (rechristened Gerry Fitzgerald) was briefly telecast by ABC in 1997. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Adventures of Huck Finn

This eighth adaptation of the timeless Mark Twain novel casts Elijah Wood as Huckleberry Finn, the half-literate son of a drunk who runs away from home and follows the Mississippi River with an escaped slave named Jim (Courtney S. Vance). Along the way, the duo encounter adventures with colorful characters like The King (Jason Robards) and the Duke (Robbie Coltrane), two con men who impersonate British visitors in order to swindle two sisters out of their fortune, and Susan Wilks (Laura Bundy), the spunky 12-year-old girl who gives Huck his first kiss. Jim also re-educates Huck away from the racist views that he has grown up with. Not the most in-depth version of Twain's tale, The Adventures Of Huck Finn is a solid retelling of the classic story. ~ Don Kaye, Rovi

Oh, What a Night
A young man who fantasizes about an older woman discovers his daydreams may be turning into realities in this coming-of-age comedy-drama. Eric (Corey Haim) and Donald (Andrew Miller) are two teenage boys growing up in a small farming community in Canada in the mid-1950's. Eric and Donald are at the uncomfortable age where their interest in women far outstrips their knowledge of how to get women interested in them. Eric is also still recovering from the death of his mother, while he struggles to come to terms with the remarriage of his father, Thorvald (Kier Dullea), to Eva (Genevieve Bujold). As local gas jockey Mr. Todd (Robbie Coltrane) offers Eric and Donald advice on courting the fairer sex, Eric discovers Vera (Barbara Williams), the attractive wife of the farmer living next door, enjoys skinny-dipping with her daughters, and Eric digs a makeshift "hideout" where he can watch her undetected. Eric begins to strike up a friendship with Vera, while unknown to him, Vera becomes increasingly unhappy in her marriage. One day, Vera catches Eric as he watches her swimming, but rather than reacting with anger, she reaches out to the inexperienced youth. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Alive and Kicking
Made for British television, Alive and Kicking is the bleak but compelling story of two druggies. Smudgen (Lenny Henry) is not only a user but a dealer; his wife Marie (Annabelle Apsion) is in what seems to be a perpetually strung-out state. When Marie has a baby, the authorities take the child away from her because neither she nor Smudgeon show any signs of straightening out. Enter social worker Liam Kane, played by the formidable Robbie Coltrane. Kane's violent, abrasive "cold turkey" technique has a positive effect on the couple, though one wonders if it is truly going to last. In contrast to Smudgeon and Marie, Jane Horrocks appears as Gail, an addict who is perfectly satisfied with her life...or what's left of it. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Like so many of the delicious twists in the history of innovations, the dreadnought acoustic is the product of fate, unexpected convergences, and a great idea. But it's also true that the most popular guitar design in the world could have just as easily faded into obscurity—or never happened at all.
In the beginning, the notion of a dreadnought wasn't even a dusty rattle in the halls of Martin's Nazareth, Pennsylvania, headquarters. The concept—if not all the engineering know-how—was the brainchild of the Oliver Ditson Company, which operated music stores in Boston and New York. Ditson wanted to satisfy the clamor

Worcestershire on alert for venomous false widow spider (From Malvern Gazette)

Man in Evesham treated after suspected bite
8:50am Tuesday 15th October 2013 in News By Sarah Taylor
A MAN has been bitten by the UK's most venomous spider while in bed at his Worcestershire home.
The young man, who does not wish to be named, had recently returned from Australia – the home of some of the world's deadliest spiders – when he was bitten by what is thought to be a false widow spider at his home in Fairfield, Evesham.
He was rushed to the town's community hospital as the spider's venom travelled up his arm.
As wildlife experts have urged people to remove the spiders from their homes in a humane way, the hospital confirmed that the man was not the first person to be treated there for a possible false widow bite at the hospital.
Evesham Community Hospital said it had treated suspected cases of the spider bites, but could not confirm the exact number.
The man's sister told your Worcester News: "My brother got bitten by one. He has been in Australia and hasn't come across a single spider and then comes back and gets bitten.
"He had to go to hospital and had a shot. Apparently it was the third case at Evesham hospital that week.
"He is quite a big lad and it turned into an ulcer on his bicep. Then a red line went up his arm and into his arm pit. It was the venom going up.
"They [staff at the hospital] were the ones who said it was from a false widow.
"It is horrible, but what can you do? It is quite sketchy knowing that they can actually hurt you. You can lose limbs.
"It is more of a worry for young and old people.
"I don't really fancy one in my bedroom."
The false widow, or Steatoda nobilis, gets its name because of its general resemblance to the more notorious – and deadly – black widow spider.
The poisonous spiders have made a home along the south coast of England, particularly on the Dorset and Hampshire, coast after arriving from their native Canary Islands in crates of bananas.
But as the weather has begun getting warmer, the spider has spread further up the country.
A woman living in Pershore, who also did not wish to be named, said she believed there had been a false widow outside her window.
"I am conviced I have got them on my window," she said.
"I said we need to get rid of those and my husband has swept them away. They had the marks on their back."
The woman is not the first to claim to have seen a false widow.
People took to Evesham Spotted Facebook page and posted comments about seeing them in Evesham and some of the surrounding villages.
Wendy Carter, from the Worcestershire Wildlife Trust, said: "All spiders can bite and most inject venom into their prey.
"Obviously some people can have bad reactions to a bite.
"If any readers do come across one, we would advise them to remove the spiders humanely, using a glass and a piece of card is easy enough, and put them outside."

I don't know where these 'facts' came from but this particular spider is no more dangerous than any other spider we are likely to find in our homes, in this country.
er the bite is alittle more than a bee sting which unfortunately some people have had a bad reaction to. The press seem to be scare mongering again......the picture on the front page is massive....and for what reason? Just for the record, they are no bigger than your thumbnail!!
I had these in my own home in Bromwich rd in St.Johns and never caused me a problem.

The tabloids are running this story at the moment, with quite graphic pictures I warn.
But yes doofer, tabloids are known to sensationalise and exagerrate the facts.
I am so petrified of spiders I can't get anywhere near to even whack with a shoe, let alone humanely remove them. And they will only come back in again...sorry it's the dyson of death or the brother/neighbour to the rescue! Totally with you on that one lilboo...

There's a big fella (about 2" across) generally heads out across the fireplace around midnight, no doubt to check his traps. Doesn't bother me, but the missus and the young-un hit the roof.

Where is the spider? Prove it wasn't something else like a hornet or a wasp?
The staff who probably have no training in identifying venomous spiders who able to tell him it "may have been a false widow", the more i look at these reports the more i'm actually beginning to think it's a complete load of **** and people are just assuming instead of using evidence not this "may have been" attitude.
MAY HAVE BEEN, that is not evidence, show me a spider in the area around his bed then we may have some evidence.
Waste of time.
Causing panic for no reason, well done Malvern Gazette.

6/11/2008: Indonesia: USCIRF Concerned Over Decree Curtailing Religious Practice of Ahmadiyah Community |
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE June 11, 2008 Contact: Judith Ingram Communications Director (202) 523-3240, ext. 127
WASHINGTON—The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom is concerned that a recent joint ministerial decree will significantly curtail the religious practice and may criminalize the religious activities of the Ahmadiyah Muslim community in Indonesia. The Commission recommends that the U.S. government urge President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to reverse the decree and prosecute anyone using violence to intimidate the Ahmadiyah community or other religious minorities in Indonesia. The joint decree was issued by the Home Minister, the Minister of Religious Affairs, and the Attorney General and permits criminal prosecutions of up to five years in prison for "spreading interpretations and activities which deviate from the principal teachings of Islam," including belief in the teachings of any prophet following Prophet Mohammed. Adherents of Ahmadiyah Islam believe that their nineteenth-century founder, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, was a prophet. There are an estimated 200,000 Ahmadiyah community members in Indonesia.
"The joint ministerial decree contradicts Indonesia's constitutional guarantees of religious freedom and violates religious freedom protections in international human rights instruments to which Indonesia is a party, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights," said Commission Chair Michael Cromartie. "The decree also seems to violate the principles of religious tolerance and pluralism on which the modern state of Indonesia was founded." Mob violence against and the imposition of local legal restrictions on the Ahmadiyah community in Indonesia have mounted since July 2005, when the Indonesian Ulemas Council (MOU) issued a fatwa condemning Ahmadiya Islam as a "heretical" sect. Extremist groups have attacked mosques and other properties as well as individuals associated with the Ahmadiyah community. Vice President Jusef Kalla condemned violence against the Ahmadiyah and President Yodhoyono's own spokesman said that a ban on Ahmadiyah Islam would set a "bad precedent." However, mobs continue to attack Ahmadiyah venues and supporters of the Ahmadiyah. In one June 1 attack during an interfaith rally in support of religious tolerance in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, extremists punched, kicked, and beat participants with sticks. Dozens reportedly were injured. In May, the UN Committee Against Torture warned against the then-impending announcement of the joint ministerial decree. "The Committee is especially concerned that State party officials who may authorize a decree banning the Ahmadiyah, thereby putting members of this community at further risk of ill-treatment and physical abuse, are also expressing the view that the Ahmadiyah must refrain from 'provoking' members of the community—in effect blaming the group at risk," the Committee said. It reiterated that the Indonesian government should ensure protection of groups particularly at risk of abuse, guarantee investigations into all ethnically motivated violence and discrimination, "including that directed against persons belonging to ethnic and religious minorities," and work to eliminate incitement including public officials' participation or acquiescence in it. The decree also reflects a larger, troubling trend in Indonesia. Under the banner of promoting Islamic orthodoxy, a growing number of groups are vandalizing or destroying religious venues and pressing for the arrest and detention of allegedly heterodox Muslims and some non-Muslims. Meanwhile, provincial governments detain, arrest and sentence allegedly heterodox Muslims and some Protestant Christians for "denigrating religion," "deviancy," or "blasphemy" under Articles 156 and 156a of the Indonesian criminal code. The articles state that "expressing feelings of hostility, hatred or contempt against religions" and "disgracing a religion" are punishable by up to five years in jail. Islam in Indonesia is known historically for its tolerance and accommodation of a variety of indigenous cultural traditions. If radical religious groups were to build a unified political base, there would be legitimate fears that Indonesia's culture of pluralism, moderation, and tolerance would be eroded. "Indonesia's commitment to democracy, religious tolerance and pluralism is harmed by the decree issued Monday," Cromartie said. "The Commission calls on the U.S. government and its allies to forcefully raise this issue with the Indonesian government, with the aim of overturning the decree and allowing members of the Ahmadiyah Muslim community, as well as of other religious groups, to exercise full freedom of religion and experience freedom from fear of being attacked by extremist groups."

Hey you, yes, you. Come here. What? No, don't run away, it's okay. Look, I know what you're going through. You've been searching for something. Something called 'Elvarren'. In fact, you've been searching so hard it's become an obsession. An obsession you don't know anything about. What is Elvarren? Where is it? Who is it? Is it an object, a place, a kingdom? You don't know, but you have to find it. How do I know about that? Because I've been looking too.
It's in your dream, isn't it? The one about the voices and the people with sharp teeth and light hair. The one where you're running but you don't know where to or what from. The one where the world looks so different, like it's cut in pieces, rain is falling up, the earth shakes and spits and bright lights follow your every step. The chaos of the dream, the power of it. And you realize something, you realize-
Hey! Don't run! You have no idea how long I've been searching! How long I've had that exact same dream! I can see into your mind, I see you're scared, but don't be. My name is Dusk. Well, actually it's not. I don't know what my real name is but-
The point. Right. You've been searching for something whispered into your ear. Something you absolutely need to find but you don't know where to start, what to look for. You ran away, didn't you? Left home, became so obsessed with finding something you don't know anything about. And in your dream you can do things you normally can't. Kill someone with the flick of a wrist or see their thoughts, take control of their minds, control the temperature of isolated areas, anything. It's different for everyone. Well, let me tell you this, your dreams are real. Elvarren is real, and I can tell you right now, whatever it is, it's going to be hell finding it.
You have abilities, you know. Whatever you dreamt about, you can do it, you just need to be trained. I can do that. The best way to unlock your abilities is through lucid dreaming and shared dreaming. I'll show you how. I may not look like much but I can do things you wouldn't believe. And I've got friends, there's more of us. We're hidden right now. Hidden because there are people out there who'd like to use us. People who might be afraid of us. And for good reason. Because I think that whatever we are, whatever we're meant to do, there will be consequences and we're going to affect people. I just don't know how.
Another thing I should add that you may have already figured out; we can't touch people without... something going wrong. I'm sure you've tried, I'm sure you've seen those strange black shadows, felt the energy course into your veins, seen the other person look weak and strange. I can only hope you didn't try to do that for too long. We draw energy from other living creatures. It works with plants, so I suggest to try that. And you don't want to know what happens when we touch each other. It's just... not good. Don't even try.
I know you're scared right now but I want you to consider joining me. We're getting closer to figuring out just what Elvarren is and how to get to it... in fact, we've found something you absolutely have to see.
Oh, and one more thing... don't you dare tell me your name. You'll need a new one. At this point, it's really best you try to dissociate yourself from who you might have been before. It's... safer.
Intrigued? Follow me. We'll stop the voices, the dreams. We're going to find Elvarren.
((Alright, the idea is, there's a bunch of young people (aged roughly 14-20) who've all been getting similar dreams of chaos and voices telling them to find 'Elvarren', but having no idea what it is. In the dream, there are people who seem to float around in the air with light hair (blond, white, light blue, etc) and sharp fangs. They swarm around and chase you, but it's not them you're running from. In the dream, you feel the need to fight so you might try to strike the creatures, discovering your abilities. All the abilities are different, and it can be anything from telepathy to pyromancy, to weather manipulation (but not omnipotent, this would have to be limited) to anything, really. Your character would likely have either one very strong ability or two mild ones. You draw strength from other living things when you touch them and if you try to touch another person and hold them there too long, you might drain them so much they need medical attention... or worse. You can draw energy from anything living, so you don't have to take it from people, plants will suffice, though people hold more energy and usually make you more powerful... assuming you know how to use your abilities.
You run away from home (or are driven away, forced out, anything to get you on the streets) and meet Dusk, (aged 18) who seems to know what you are and convinces you to join him and others currently hiding out in the woods, in a hut, promising that they will find Elvarren, but warning you of the darkness that seems to surround whatever it is and whatever they are. Also warning of people who may want to capture or kill them because of their abilities. He also warns you not to touch anyone else with abilities at all costs, though he doesn't explain what happens if you do. I will explain more in the OOC thread. Anyone interested? And if you have questions, feel free to ask. This RP is set in the future, but not too distant)

To celebrate, Audi had a bunch of Facebook pals over for pizza and took photos. Just don't wipe your hands on the schteel.
Thanks to Facebook, Audi says it will bring the 360-hp TT RS Coupe to the United States within the next year. No prices set yet, and only the hardtop aluminum und shteel version makes the trip. [via Audi]

MSO Time Warner Cable has dropped WBTW-TV, the CBS affiliate serving South CarolinaŌĆÖs Grand Strand area, from its channel lineup in certain markets. The stationŌĆÖs outraged owner has retaliated by filing an emergency enforcement complaint with the FCC.
Time Warner dropped the station, licensed to Florence, SC, on Aug. 11 from systems serving Georgetown, SC. By the end of September, the cable operator plans to drop the station from the South Carolina communities of Johnsonville, Effingham, Murrells Inlet, and Pawleys Island, as well as Richmond and Brunswick counties in North Carolina.
Time Warner said it dropped WBTW because it is an out-of-market station providing duplicative programming. The cable system will continue to carry WCSC-TV, the Charleston, SC, CBS affiliate. Nielsen Media Research considers WCSC the in-market station for the areas where Time Warner is pulling WBTW.
ŌĆ£By removing the station weŌĆÖre able to provide more programming options in the future to our customers,ŌĆØ said Time Warner spokeswoman Melissa Buscher. ŌĆ£It will include faster broadband and more HD services and thatŌĆÖs what out customers have come to expect.ŌĆØ
Time Warner replaced WBTWŌĆÖs programming with the Home Shopping Network and programming from the MyNetwork.
Media General doesnŌĆÖt challenge Time WarnerŌĆÖs right to drop the station from its system, but alleges the cable operator didnŌĆÖt follow FCC rules by providing sufficient notice to viewers.
The FCC requires cable operators to inform customers of any change in channel positions in writing at least 30 days in advance if the change ŌĆ£is within the control of the cable operator.ŌĆØ Written notice must also be provided to any TV station at least 30 days before dropping or repositioning a station.
In its complaint to the FCC, Media General said it first learned the station had been dropped by Time Warner when it received a flood of calls from ŌĆ£disenfranchised viewers.ŌĆØ WBTW said it received more than 1600 complaints from viewers in the first 96 hours after the change.
Time Warner said it provided ample notice. ŌĆ£We believe we complied with the law. We provided legal notice in several forms regarding the drop,ŌĆØ said Time Warner spokeswoman Maureen Huff, who said the company had provided newspaper notice 30 days in advance, as well as serving notice on its local system Web site.
Media General acknowledged that the cable operator did publish notice of the move in the July 7 and 8 legal notices sections for two local papers, and mailed a postcard to subscribers Aug. 6. However, it contended that was inadequate notice. More than 75 percent of its viewers donŌĆÖt subscribe to the newspapers, the station owner argued.
After the controversy began, Time Warner Cable delayed dropping WBTW from other its systems, changing the planned turnoff from Aug. 20 to Sept. 22. That month-long delay, argued Time Warner, removes any question about future station deletions complying with FCC rules.
In its response to Media GeneralŌĆÖs FCC filing, an attorney for Time Warner denied there is any emergency or other reason for the FCC to act on the complaint.
ŌĆ£Notwithstanding any notices previously provided to Media General, TWC is writing at this time to inform the Commission that there are no plans to drop WBTW in any additional communities without providing 30 daysŌĆÖ notice to the Commission and to Media General,ŌĆ£ Arthur H. Harding, Time WarnerŌĆÖs attorney, wrote. ŌĆ£Thus, there is no need for the Commission to address the matters raised by Media General on an ŌĆśemergencyŌĆÖ basis.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
Historically, WBTW was a rating leader in news in the Myrtle Beach-Florence, SC, market, dominating its competition in both raw household ratings and key demographics. This was in part because the station essentially had the market to itself for over a quarter-century with its only real competition being signals from WECT-TV in Wilmington, NC, and WIS-TV in Columbia, SC.
In 2007, WBTW moved the majority of its operations from Florence to Myrtle Beach. A year later, the station launched its all-digital news operation, which included new graphics, news set, robotic studio cameras, and newscasts in 16:9 standard definition widescreen.
Then the economy went sour. Earlier this year Media General mandated furlough days as the company saw its stock values drop. Dozens of staffers at WBTW have recently been laid off.
The station now utilizes a majority of ŌĆ£one-man-bandŌĆØ reporter crews and cut its news photography staff to three. The station trimmed several news positions during the 2009 staff cuts and placed the engineering and production departments under supervision of the news director.

Another "Gabby" for U.S. Congress: Gabriela Saucedo Mercer to announce for CD 7 on March 2
Saturday, February 26th, 2011Gabriela Saucedo Mercer, a Mexican American Republican who immigrated to the U.S in 1986, is announcing her bid for the CD 7 U.S. House seat held by 4 term Democratic Congressman Raul Grijalva. She is also known as "Gabby", like Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords of CD 8. Grijalva is not up for re-election until November, 2012.
Her announcement will be made at 11 a.m. Wednesday March 2nd at the Inn Suites/Tucson Hotel, 475 N. Granada Avenue, Copper room in Tucson, 85701. Doors open at 10:30 a.m.
From her website:
Gabriela Saucedo Mercer lives on Tucson's west side with her husband of 24 years, Ted Mercer. Gabriela, "Gabby" for short, set aside her work career with a defense electronics firm in order to raise her 3 children and continue her education. As the kids were growing up Gabriela became more and more concerned about the direction that her adopted country had taken in recent years. She legally emigrated to the U.S. from Mexico in 1986 in order to live in a nation full of opportunity and Constitutional protections of individual liberties. She became a proud U.S. citizen in 1991.
I happened to be at the Tucson City Council meeting last Spring when Gabriela stood up & spoke against the Council's opposition of SB 1070, and Congressman's Grijalva's call for a boycott of the State of Arizona. Most of the Mexican Americans in the room spoke against SB 1070.
Campaign info: www.saucedomercer.com, 520-349-5600, email@example.com.
Congressman Raul Grijalva has served since January, 2003 and won his last November, 2010 campaign against political newcomers Republican Ruth McClung, Libertarian George Keane, and Independent Harley Meyer. Results of that recent race:
50.16% 79,935
44.16% 70,385
2.71% 4,318
2.83% 4,506
0.14% 228

Since I got this lift for Christmas, I haven't worked on my motorcycles on the floor. Installing clutch cables, changing oil or installing headers is so much easier when you are at eye level with whatever you are working on.I wanted a lift that would allow removal of wheels or forks as I build bobbers. This lift easily allows for that. Unfortunately, my bikes have headers and any pipes that run under the bike frame tubes will be in the way of the lifting arms. I use two pieces of 2x4 as spacers, laying perpendicular across the lifting arms, parallel with the bike's frame tubes. This works well and is stable.I also had considered the 'table' type lifts that allow more working room under the engine for installing exhaust or welding frame rails. So I bought an 8' section of 6" wide steel channel, modified one end for a 'ramp' and put a Short piece of 4x4 under both ends so the channel sits 4" off the floor. This way I can slide the lift under the channel and lift the bike, channel and all. This works very well. My nearly stock size rear tires fit snugly in the channel. The lift comes with two straps for securing the bike to the lift arms. I added two more straps so each corner has it's own strap.I have used the lift with a stretched '78 KZ1000 hardtail bobber and a '78 Honda CB750K so far.Overall the lift is one of my favorite tools for working on the bikes. It really saves on sore backs and makes every task so much easier.

Really no complaints other than I had to return the jack portion of the lift the same day I purchased it . The release valve turn knob was cracked (a bit cheap), but I still like the lift and would recommend.It handles my Softail Deluxe no problem.

Great lift for my harley
By Ernie M
from New Hampshire
About Me Backyard Mechanic
Comments about Central Hydraulics High Position Motorcycle Lift:
Excellent lift for my harley. I made a lift plate out of a 2X6 and some scraps to fit up nicely with the bike frame and span the arms of the lift. Allows the bike to be lifted level even without straps. I would suggest making a lift plate to anyone using this for their bike. Once the bike is strapped down, it feels solid enough to perform any maintenance required.

About Me Motorcycle Entusiast
What can I say? I bought this lift over a year ago and it has been probably the best investment I have ever made. I used to have to bend over or kneel down on the ground to do maintenance on my bike. I had a lift, but it didn't lift my bike very high. But now, I can do alot without hurting my back or messing up my knees. I absolutely love it. To anybody out there who reads these reviews, I don't normally leave reviews, but this is worth every penny. It will deffinately pay for itself in the longrun.

About Me Weekend mechanic
I purchased this for rebuilding the rear end of my 1984 Harley Electra Glide. Was skeptical at first but this lift reaches a hieght of about 3' and never let me down the whole time and the bike was on it for over 3 weeks. I lifted the bike up and down numerous times so as not to leave the bike in the air. I had the swing arm and rear wheel off and figured the weight shift forward would be an issue. It was not. Best money on a lift I ever spent including a table lift.

By 7g30rust

I wrote a review some time back about modifying the lift for a portable workbench and small engine lift for repairing them and other things, but the other night i bought the 13 draw tool chest and on the way home i was figuring how to get this out of the truck myself without droping it, and i decided to use the modified motorcycle to get it out of the truck by myself, i backed the truck to the garage and positioned the lift to the end of the tailgate and slid it from truck to the lift, it worked great, no damage to myself or the box, every day i come up with new uses for this thing, im so happy i got it and would recomend this thing to anyone, it is quite versitile and is only limited by your immagination.

About Me Novice Motorcyclist
This product beats those over priced lifts that hardly get your bike off the ground. I've had this lift for 2 years and use it alot. I have a 94 Heritage Softail and it raises and lowers my bike with little effort. you dont have to lay on the ground, and as far as the wobble that is talked about, anyone who has ever been near a car lift they wobble also, nothing to be concerned about. I remvoved the motor from bike with it all the way up and had absolutely no issues. Great product.

so nice
By J.Stude
from Colorado Springs
I build motorcycles and this is my lift of choice. I use it every day and does all I need and more. The only thing is when you get it, drill a hole on top of the legs where it mounts and use a good size bolt. If not it will start to lean forward.

Good Qaulity and Heavy Duty Lift
By b3krobb
from Clearwater, MN
About Me Avid diy'er
Picked this lift up on sale and with a 20% code, what a bargain. This lift is heavy duty, lifts up to 1,100 lbs, is versatile and good qaulity. Designed for lifting motorcycles but can be used for most anything with some added modifications. Use it for your motorcycles, zero turn mower, lawn tracter, make it into a lift table and adjustable work/welding table. This is a very handy lift, I easily give it 5 stars.

My friend thank you for the RPO code list, just bought a 1993 C1500 in really nice shape and found the codes in the glove box - it really helped. Owned a lot of used vehicles in my life and always looked for the codes to find out what I bought.
I found this website by accident, but man am I glad I did.
Again, thanks a bunch! Don Green
