Dropship Services
What is Drop Shipping?
Drop shipping is a simple arrangement that enables you to sell our high-quality products at low wholesale prices without ever having to store, handle, or ship merchandise. You can sell our products on your website, blog, or through an auction website, such as eBay or Amazon. Once a product sells, simply place the order through us and we will ship and forward the goods directly to your customer. We use blind dropshipping, no invoices or documentation mentions our name and your customer thinks the goods have come directly from your store. You sit back and enjoy your profit, the order is shipped directly from us to your customer. It's that easy.
Drop Ship Advantages
Blind Drop Ship enables you to sell products virtually anywhere. Whether you run an e-commerce store, own a blog, or sell on eBay, Blind Dropship is often the most efficient method of sourcing products. We provide distinct advantages:
- First and foremost, drop shipping saves the cost of building a stock of inventory. If you're like most people starting a small business, you don't have a huge amount of capital to get your business off the ground. The last thing you want to do is tie up all of your cash on inventory that may or may not sell.
- Risks associated with non-selling products are minimized with drop shipping. With no inventory on hand, there is no any leftover stock. Let's face it, products can suddenly become outdated, obsolete, or just plain unpopular. While other retailers are selling their stock at deep discounts – taking a huge loss, you can move onto the next hot product. You will never be stuck with a stockroom full of unwanted products while using drop shipping.
- This simple business model frees up space, money, time, and stress by not requiring you to warehouse products. While other internet business owners are filling their houses or renting stockrooms to store inventory, you can enjoy not having to deal with those headaches.
- Last but not least, drop shipping allows you to focus on making money. With this easy-to-use business model, you are not required to keep track of inventory. Nor, do you have to handle products or ship them.

Have about a 2 weeks of GTD under my belt and it's going fantastic. Feeling a new sense of control that I haven't had in years.
Started with my first try at a handheld at the same time. (If you're going to jump in, I guess you really should just jump...
It's a palm 515 that I bought some time ago and it was one (of the many) things sitting around on the shelf. Got it up and going and I'm working fine with synching it to Outlook with the GTD add in.
Using it right out of the box with no added software.
My question is that I see lots of folks raving about the Tungsten and was wondering what practical advantages it had over the 515 (or other models)
Thanks for the input!

Mexican-American honored as WWII Vet and Holocaust survivor
Tuesday, April 30th, 2013An amazing story by Vanessa A. Alvarez, and one that deserves more attention here in Arizona — particularly with the expanding Mexican-American demographic in the southwestern part of the United States!
From NBC Latino:
Mexican-American honored as WWII Vet and Holocaust survivor
by Vanessa A. Alvarez
12:14 pm on 04/29/2013Anthony Acevedo is one of the World War II veterans being honored at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's 20th Anniversary Tribute in Washington, D.C. But unlike his fellow honorees, Acevedo is also a Holocaust survivor.
At 88 years old, Acevedo exudes life. His voice over the phone is a glimpse into his young spirit: He's talkative, loves a punchline and is extremely warm. His memory: So sharp, he can recall even the smallest of details.
Acevedo became the first Mexican-American to be registered with the museum's survivor database in 2010.
A medic assigned to the 70th Infantry Division during the war, Acevedo was one of the 350 U.S. soldiers captured during the Battle of the Bulge in France and sent to the Berga An Der Elster labor camp — a subcamp of the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany from which only about 180 would survive by war's end, he says.
It was during his time at Berga that Acevedo would begin writing in a diary, documenting everything he saw; logging information on the dead, sketching and pretty much doing whatever he could to keep his mind moving. This diary was his lifeline, he says.
"I used to write down recipes on a piece of paper and then discuss with my buddies what I would want to eat the minute I got home. I would say things like: 'On this day, I want to be eating a hamburger,'" says Acevedo.
This diary is the first in the museum's collection to be written by an American captive. Acevedo donated it during his first visit to the museum in 2010, along with his Red Cross arm band, a prayer-book he always carried during the war, a cross and numerous photographs, as well as a personal document of his father's.
"I was scared but I tried to keep going with faith. Some didn't have the faith but I always tried to remind myself that 'Hey, you always have someone else to live for,'" he says.
For Acevedo, that person was his sweetheart, Dolores, who sent him care packages numerous times. Although they had never met, he had fallen in love with her just from those letters.
Born in San Bernardino, Calif., to Francisco and Maria Luisa Acevedo on July 31, 1924, Acevedo lost his mother as a baby and his father remarried four years later to a woman by the same name. They remained in California until the day his stepmother was deported and the family was faced with having to go back to Mexico. He has two full-blood sisters and three half-brothers from his father's second marriage. Acevedo joined the U.S. army shortly after graduating high school, upon returning to the U.S. at the age of 18.
A difficult childhood stemming from an abusive father and memories of his nanny trying to drown him in the bathtub, Acevedo credits these events as the ones that built him up to sustain what lied ahead of him as a prisoner of war.
The awful conditions in the camp Acevedo remembers include once being fed boiled grass, not being allowed to bathe, sleeping in crowded barracks, wearing lice and flea-ridden clothing and being worked to the bone. Acevedo weighed 48 lbs by war's end; the situation was enough to drive anyone mad. Acevedo recalls seeing many of the prisoners lose their minds. The worst part of it all was watching his buddies die, he says. FULL STORY HERE>>>

Dr. Ford gave the following presentation to a conference on
September 24, 2010
by Christopher Ford
Let me begin by offering my thanks to the Aspen Institute in Germany for organizing this conference. I know from experience that it is difficult for those in government to talk about the strategic implications of an Iran armed with nuclear weapons. To some extent, even to be seen to be engaged in such thinking might be taken as an admission of anticipated defeat in the ongoing diplomatic confrontation between the clerical regime in Tehran and those who seek to hold it to its obligations under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguards, the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), and legally-binding resolutions of the United Nations Security Council. Mere contingency planning, of course, is in reality no such admission, but the political "optics" of the ongoing confrontation too often tend to stifle open debate. That is why it is particularly valuable for institutions such as the Aspen Institute to study such issues.
So how shall we think about a potential future nuclear-armed Iran?
I. Iran and Nuclear Weaponry
Some commentators, particularly in the United States and in Israel, worry tremendously about the possibility that Iran would actually use nuclear weapons against Israel, or that it might supply nuclear technology (or perhaps weapons themselves) to one of its many terrorist clients around the world. Not everyone agrees on the likelihood of such events.
As I see it, one cannot rule out some spasm of annihilative eschatological enthusiasm from a regime that is already deeply radicalized and militarized, and within a Shi'ite tradition that has both powerful traditions of martyrdom and pronounced millenarian tendencies. Nevertheless, my own feeling is that such direct or indirect nuclear use is relatively unlikely absent some deep existential crisis for the clerical regime. It is a worry – and is undeniably part of the landscape of possible futures against which we should be testing our strategic and contingency thinking – but it is not my first worry.
Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons also raises the troubling possibility, however, of the unplanned use or loss of control over a nuclear device or related technology – by accident or through incompetence and inexperience, or perhaps as the result of reckless adventurism by some splinter faction within the regime's already disturbingly radicalized Pasdaran force (a.k.a. the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps). The advent of an Iranian nuclear weapons capability would such "inadvertence" scenarios an ongoing worry.
But whatever one thinks of the question of direct or indirect nuclear weapons use – in the sense of an actual detonation, rather than simply the employment of implicit or explicit nuclear threats in bargaining and intimidation scenarios – there seems to be little disagreement that an Iran with nuclear weapons is very likely to feel greatly empowered and emboldened within its region by the possession of a nuclear weapons capability. This, in my view, is the basic strategic issue driving most other countries' reactions to the developing Iranian nuclear crisis.
A nuclear-armed Iran might well conclude that it has immunized itself against what its officials have sometimes termed "extra-territorial invasion," which basically means that its revolutionary Shi'ite leaders would no longer feel any danger that engaging in egregious regional provocations might bring down upon them forcible, foreign-led regime change of the sort that toppled Saddam Hussein in Iraq and the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. Given the degree to which Iranian regional assertiveness is already destabilizing the region – even without nuclear weapons – this is surely a very serious concern.
For years, Iran has been sponsoring terrorists and other fighters targeting Israel, offering ongoing support for those killing allied troops and local citizens alike in Afghanistan and Iraq, sponsoring the development of Hezbollah as a disruptive state-within-a-state in Lebanon, working to sabotage the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians, and periodically meddling in antigovernment politics in regional states (particularly, but not exclusively, among the substantial Shi'ite populations of the Gulf). The regime in Tehran has a strong sense of self-identity as a revolutionary state with a feeling of sectarian mission within Islam, as well as ambitions actually to lead the entire Muslim world against its perceived enemies. This religious enthusiasm also overlays a self-identity as a Persian culture – indeed, the modern inheritor of one of the most glorious empires of antiquity – that has been humiliated in modern times and denied its rightful place as the leading state in the Middle East. How might such attitudes manifest themselves in regional behavior if nuclear weapons are felt to preclude foreign invasion?
It is not clear the precise degree to which Iran's present-day leaders consider themselves to be constrained by the possibility that engaging in regional or other provocations might bring about their ouster, as it were, at the tips of foreign bayonets. Iran frequently claims, at least, to feel an acute threat of foreign intervention. (It has, for instance, explicitly advanced this as a rationale for purchases of advanced foreign military technology, such as the rocket-powered Shkval torpedo and what appears to be the recently-aborted sale of the S-300 air defense system from Russia.) Not surprisingly, perhaps, many foreign analysts feel such fears also to be one of the motivations behind Iran's continuing pursuit of a nuclear weapons capability.
The Iranian regime's victim-narrative, of course, describes Iran as being subject to wanton and undeserved foreign threats – and would no doubt publicly justify nuclear weaponization in such terms. Foreign observers tend to worry, however, that Iran's revolutionary leadership really yearns to chart a course no longer conditioned by the fear that aggressive actions might precipitate their own ouster. (From this latter perspective, the key analytical point is precisely the degree to which foreign threats would not be "undeserved.") Either way, it seems reasonable to suppose that not all of Iran's emphasis upon the perceived foreign threat is empty and cynical bluster, designed solely for propaganda purposes and to justify the development of capabilities actually desired for other reasons. Yet granting any reality to Iran's claim (for whatever reason) to fear outside intervention implies, in turn, that Iran's behavior would be different – and in some sense inherently less constrained – after it has acquired nuclear weapons.
II. Bandwagoning versus Balancing
If any of Iran's loudly-proclaimed fear of outside intervention is real, it stands to reason that Iran will indeed feel to some real extent empowered and emboldened by nuclear weapons possession. Many fear that this means Iran will thereupon prove more aggressive, less restrained, and freer to indulge whatever revolutionary and/or hegemonic predilections its government may happen to have.
This certainly seems to be the assumption of Iran's neighbors, at least, who have for years privately expressed alarm at Iran's rise as a regional power and its concomitant nuclear weapons ambitions, and who have begun in recent months to break their public silence on the subject. In June 2010, for instance, Ambassador Yusef al-Otaiba of the United Arab Emirates told a conference that "[w]e cannot live with a nuclear Iran," and that he would be willing to support a U.S. military strike on Iran in order to prevent it from crossing the weapons threshold. Also this spring, Egyptian Ambassador Abdel Aziz told journalists at the NPT Review Conference that if Iran develops nuclear weapons, the Egyptians would "not ... accept to be second-class citizens" in the region, and that "Egypt and ... all the countries in the Arab world" might "change their mind" about nonproliferation commitments.
More quietly, multiple regional states – notwithstanding the oil resources some of them possess – are moving forward with plans to develop nuclear energy capabilities, which many observers interpret as "strategic hedging" designed to give them a nuclear technology base in case Iran's nuclear program cannot be stopped and they wish to move ahead with developing a countervailing capability of their own. Egypt has ambitious plans for nuclear energy development and has already had problems with the IAEA over undeclared fissile material production experiments, Jordan has refused to forswear fissile material production, Turkey recently announced plans to begin construction of a nuclear reactor by 2014, and famously oil-rich Saudi Arabia has declared its intention to develop uranium enrichment. Not surprisingly, this has led many observers to fear a "cascade" of proliferation if Iran's nuclear-fueled regional ambitions cannot be frustrated.
Just how such a cascade develops, however, will be shaped by Iran's own nuclear choices and by the choices of outside players. It may be hard to prevent the further proliferation of dual-use capabilities – including the critical nuclear weapons-facilitating technology of fissile material production – to regional states. The degree to which other states in the region cross the line into actual weaponization, however, will presumably depend upon how Iran approaches this threshold itself.
Overt weaponization in Iran would maximize the pressure on other regional players to follow suit, particularly in Turkey and Egypt, which have historically played the role of regional balancer against Persian ambitions, and which entertain pretensions to regional leadership even today. As Ambassador Azziz's comments suggest, the current government of Egypt, a proud but brittle regime now facing leadership succession problems and terrified of Islamic radicalism, seems to have no illusions about the nature of the regional challenge presented by Iran's rise. Barring dramatic changes in Turkey's own sense of regional and religious identity, moreover – changes which are conceivable but still seem unlikely, even given the vaguely Islamist inclinations of its current government – Turkey's current confluence of interests with Iran, which runs to carving out a regional leadership role for Ankara as a mediator in crafting diplomatic alternatives to Western nonproliferation sanctions, may not survive Tehran's success in developing nuclear capabilities and claiming regional leadership for itself. Either or both of these countries might find themselves feeling strong incentives to follow Iran's nuclear path.
Covert Iranian weaponization – perhaps self-consciously modeling itself upon the strategy most observers claim Israel to have taken, and perhaps even adopting and mocking Israeli pronouncements about not being the first to "introduce" nuclear weapons into the Middle East – might reduce this pressure, though perhaps not too much. Even if Iran opts to linger on the brink of weaponization as a "virtual" nuclear weapons state, however, it would seem very difficult to prevent the development of a region increasingly populated by "latent" weapons states, all "hedging" against each other in a tense and perhaps quite unstable balance.
Another critical variable will be whether regional Arab governments confronted by nuclear-facilitated Iranian efforts at regional hegemony choose to respond by a strategy of "bandwagoning" or to respond with one of "balancing." It would be neither impossible nor entirely out of keeping with local political traditions for many regional players to conclude that Iran's rise is, for practical purposes, unstoppable – and that the best chance for security is thus to associate themselves with it in some fashion, such as by reaching an accord with Tehran that would permit existing regimes to remain in power as tolerated semi-clients within an Iranian sphere of influence. I doubt that such bandwagoning would stop the development of "latent" nuclear capabilities in some regional states, but it would presumably reduce the likelihood of countervailing weaponization – albeit at the cost of de facto political subordination.
Alternatively, regional states could band together to resist Iranian domination in classically anti-hegemonic balance-of-power configurations. Especially were an activist role adopted by traditional anti-Iranian (or anti-Perisan) balancers such as Turkey and Egypt, regional counter-balancing behavior is possible even if outsiders stand entirely aside. Yet outside powers would still presumably have a great deal of influence upon whether or not such a "balancing" strategy seemed attractive to regional players. Their support for and involvement in anti-Iranian geopolitical maneuvering could help make balancing seem much more attractive, and bandwagoning unnecessary.
Whether or not such anti-hegemonic mobilization receives the encouragement and support of powerful foreign allies would presumably also affect the likelihood of countervailing nuclear weapons development. "Balancing" states, in other words, might be content to remain non-nuclear if they felt their security adequately underpinned by foreign relationships, even though they might find little alternative to accommodation if left on their own. Here too, the willingness of outside powers to play an activist role against Iranian domination of the region will profoundly shape the evolution of the regional security environment. Such outside activism, in fact, might offer the only real chance to navigate between the Scylla of Iranian hegemony and regional bandwagoning, and the Charybdis of a dangerous nuclear-armed standoff between Iran and an anti-hegemonic coalition of regional rivals.
For the foreseeable future, the only outside power I see as being in any sort of a position to play such a mobilizing and channeling role is the United States – though success in this regard after Iran's acquisition of nuclear weaponry might well require a politically-incorrect degree of sustained attention to maintaining or improving American military capabilities in order to keep full-scale intervention alive as an option credibly "on the table" without any U.S. recourse to its own nuclear weaponry. (This could entail, for instance, augmented active and passive defenses for the United States and its regional allies against potential forms of nuclear delivery, as well as improved capabilities to conduct expeditionary military operations in a weapons of mass destruction [WMD] environment. The aim would be to minimize the degree to which American military power will be – or be seen to be –"deterred" by Iranian nuclear weapons possession, thus denying Tehran much of the strategic benefit it may hope to acquired by such means.) At the very least, the United States would need to ensure that its global power-projection capabilities do not atrophy despite the financial pressures attendant to what has now become a shocking degree of federal government indebtedness.
I see little prospect of Russia playing a role in shoring up Middle Eastern balancing behavior vis-à-vis an aggressive and nuclear-empowered Iran, partly as a result of its lack of capability and partly due to its apparent lack of interest. If anything, Russia still seems tempted to regard Iran's development at least of a "virtual" nuclear weapons capability as something quite consistent with the Kremlin's strategic interest. To the extent that Iranian regional hegemony would present a grave setback to American strategy in the Middle East, Russia may find it congenial. (For an authoritarian regime of siloviki functionaries pining for their lost empire and global stature, anything which undermines the power of its old superpower rival might seem intrinsically pleasant.) Provided that Iran did not turn its Islamic revolutionary gaze northward into the Caucasus, moreover, regional instability provoked by Iran's rise could help keep Russia's corrupt, ill-managed, and still-undiversified petroleum-based economic monoculture afloat by ensuring that global oil prices remain high. Such factors – and not merely the short-term financial gain to be had from technology exports – may help explain the Kremlin's willingness to constrain U.S. sanctions efforts at the U.N. Security Council, to help Iran with the construction of the Bushehr nuclear reactor, and (at least until recently) to sell it advanced military technology.
China's situation is more complicated. Beijing sometimes seems tempted today to facilitate or protect Iranian self-assertion against the United States, perhaps also in classically power-balancing way intended to weaken Washington's strategic position while helping ensure a thirsty China's continuing access to plentiful supplies of Iranian oil. Ultimately, however, it is not necessarily in Beijing's interest to see Iran's regional ambitions unsettle the Middle East. Having become the world's largest consumer of fossil fuels, China badly needs long-term stability in the Middle East and continued access to oil. At some point, therefore, any interest Beijing may now feel in dragging its feet in the face of Iran's destabilizing rise could be overwhelmed by its interest in regional peace. (A Sino-Iranian condominium built around a Chinese "big brother" offering augmented regime protection to Iran in return for preferential oil access would be a strategic gamble, and could backfire, from Beijing's perspective, if the very solidity of such an accord further enticed Iran into adventurism or sparked vigorous – and perhaps outside-supported – counter-mobilization.) Which way China's perceived interests eventually lead it is, at this point, anyone's guess.
India's future role in the region is, if anything, even more ambiguous. New Delhi seems presently to be neither prepared for nor interested in an activist great power role that far afield. Nevertheless, over the medium or long term India is not badly positioned for such endeavors, particularly with the growth of its naval power and its emerging semi-competitive strategic relationship with a China that seems itself steadily to be acquiring interests and a growing role far from its own shores. Inherited Cold War-era political prejudices notwithstanding, one should not even rule out the possibility of an eventual Indo-American alliance, particularly if China should begin to develop a more activist and perhaps less benign role in the Middle East.
Such possibilities, however, still seem distant. For the moment, there seems little prospect of an activist outsider role vis-à-vis anti-Iranian "balancing" that does not somehow involve Washington.
III. International Regimes
But what about the impact of a nuclear-armed Iran upon the international nonproliferation regime? That regime would clearly suffer an enormous blow to its credibility and probably its long-term integrity if Iran, an NPT signatory non-nuclear weapons state, were permitted to develop nuclear weapons. If one conceives of the nonproliferation regime as a bundle of inter-related agreements, institutions, norms, customs, and behavior patterns – including but by no means limited to the Nonproliferation Treaty itself – revolving around the animating idea that international peace and security is best served if the further proliferation of nuclear weaponry can be prevented, Iranian nuclear weapons development might not be quite fatal, even coming on the heels of a similar failure in North Korea. The nonproliferation regime, however, could hardly be anything but further, and gravely, weakened – and the prospects for nuclear weapons abolition all but destroyed.
A nuclear-armed Iran could also affect dynamics of how international regimes operate more generally as well. Despite the military successes of the troop "surge" begun by the United States in Iraq in 2007 – and the uneasy quasi-peace into which that troubled country has since begun to settle – it is sometimes said that the long struggle of the Iraq war gave nonproliferation "unilateralism" a bad name. Notwithstanding the analytical fallacy of assuming that the difficulties of suppressing sectarian violence and guerrilla insurgency in Iraq had much of anything to do with who participated in the invasion, this observation makes an important point about the psychology of participants in the broader nonproliferation regime. Though initially the prospect of regime change in Iraq undertaken in response to purported WMD threats seems to have had a salutary effect upon the behavior of other proliferators – with Iran apparently temporarily suspending some work on nuclear weaponization in mid-2003, and Libya agreeing later that year to relinquish its various WMD programs – it did not take long for Iraq to sour many on the idea of muscular counter-proliferation or military intervention of any sort. Iran has benefited from that souring.
With this general swing of opinion against intervention per se having been exacerbated by what appears to have been a broad feeling that the United States had become too powerful and too willful, and needed to be taught something of a lesson, the psycho-political pendulum within the nonproliferation regime for a time swung quite emphatically in favor of an exclusive focus upon using "softer" means for accomplishing nonproliferation goals. For some participants – such as the three European governments that cut their own "unilateral" diplomatic side-deal with Iran in 2003, an accord that did not stop Iranian nuclear developments but which successfully derailed for some years the U.S. effort to work the Iran issue multilaterally through the IAEA to the Security Council pursuant to the IAEA Statute – the shift seems to have been entangled with desires for some kind of political "payback" for Washington's enthusiasms in Iraq, perhaps coupled with a demonstration to the arrogant Americans of the "right" (i.e., diplomatically non-confrontational) way to approach nonproliferation.
Others, particularly in the developing world, may have had some real sympathy for the Iranians – at least initially – as plucky underdogs facing down the mighty powers of the world, or may have felt an affinity for Iran's conveniently self-exonerating narrative that the real story here was less about preventing proliferation than about predatory Western nuclear technology "haves" further oppressing "have nots" in less developed countries. Whatever the causes, however, the swing of the psycho-political pendulum within the nonproliferation regime against the very idea of military intervention seems to have been significant – and was only underlined by the coming to power in the United States of a new president who had fiercely opposed the war in Iraq and who was determined to win acclaim for not being anything like his predecessor.
But here lies the significance of subsequent developments in Iran, for the current situation suggests that diplomacy-focused "multilateralism" and the congenially non-sanguinary tools of "soft power" may now themselves be being given a "bad name" inasmuch as they are proving conspicuously unable to arrest Iran's trajectory toward nuclear weapons. An Iran armed with nuclear weapons could thus impel a new pendular movement, for it could be taken to offer a lesson in the ineffectiveness of peaceable methods when confronting a determined proliferator.
One possible lesson of a nuclear-armed Iran might be that nonproliferation compliance enforcement is simply not possible at all, its "hard" version having become self-deterringly costly and its "soft" version having simply proven ineffectual. Such a conclusion would represent the collapse of the nonproliferation regime into a merely hortatory system – a scheme of unenforceable virtue ethics in an environment that still seems to present participants with powerful incentives for misbehavior. The potential proliferation consequences of such an institutional implosion are not hard to imagine.
An alternative lesson, however – and it is naturally quite possible that different players will reach different conclusions – might be to conclude that anyone serious about nonproliferation must be willing to intervene early in a developing proliferation crisis after all, and by force of arms if necessary, since the Iran case demonstrates that no "softer" approach can be relied upon. By this view, the Americans might in a sense actually be seen to have had a point in conceptualizing the possibility of counter-WMD preventative war, even if they did undertake their invasion of Iraq on mistaken premises and ended up mishandling its occupation in bloodily tragic ways.
The lessons of Iran could thus have important implications for use-of-force issues in the international community more generally. As I have discussed elsewhere, some international lawyers have tried to argue that the very existence of the U.N. Charter system precludes resort to force without Security Council authorization except in the most immediately threatening of circumstances. Yet it is toward just such violent "self-help" prophylaxis that the collapse of compliance enforcement in the nonproliferation regime may end up pushing the international community.
If there is a cogent argument to be made for restricting preventative war to Council-authorized circumstances, it revolves around such formal institutional mechanisms being able to offer an effective replacement for national self-help. With regard to the use of force in counter-proliferation, however, the Iran-related unraveling of NPT compliance enforcement may make this untenable. In an era characterized by worsening WMD proliferation threats, but also by the disintegration of hopes for effective multilateral nonproliferation compliance enforcement short of war and the de facto non-availability of officially "authorized" force, compliance enforcement might end up being effectively "privatized" under the rubric of Article 51 "self-defense."
The international community, in other words, may come to rely, more explicitly than ever, upon the individual efforts, commitment, and capabilities of a small number of muscular players willing – entirely on their own – to shoulder the burden of providing what an economist might describe as a "public good" of compliance enforcement that would otherwise be radically "underproduced." (Under the circumstances, moreover, this may not actually be such a bad answer. The rule of law in international affairs is arguably better served if it is enforced improvisationally and unilaterally by a few strong players than if it is not enforced at all.)
This is a policy and legal debate that was already well underway in nonproliferation circles long before the Iraq war. My point here, however, is not that these issues are likely to be resolved any time soon, but that the story of the last decade's events in the Middle East – and the rise of a nuclear-armed Iran – may ultimately end up reinforcing, rather than undermining, the critique of multilateralism that helped lead to the invasion of Iraq. Future generations' view of WMD-related "self-defense," and of the availability and advisability of preventative violence, will be shaped by whether diplomatic multilateralism shows itself capable of handling the Iranian challenge.
IV. Narratives of Identity
Let me now say a final word about Iran's potential impact upon what one might call competing overall visions of the Middle Eastern strategic environment. The Middle East may be today at a watershed point between narratives, a juncture at which new and emerging storylines compete in order to re-organize perceptions of the region and its trajectory.
For many years, views of the Middle East seemed to be structured around several basic sets of tensions. The region as a whole may have been defined by outsiders in a vaguely civilizational sense – with the "Middle East" being seen, in affirmative terms, as a region generally characterized by aridity, oil, and Islam, as well as in negative space by virtue of not being European, African, or Asian – but its key internal polarities did not then seem to have much to do with civilizational indicia. Rather, the Middle East found itself living out a series of dynamic tensions between systemic and national identities.
With Ottoman imperial rule having collapsed and been succeeded by a time of European colonial power that then itself soon began passing into history, the region was strung by the mid-20th Century between claimant post-colonial identities. In that new world, emergent nationalist enthusiasms – expressed, in Arab regions, at least, either as an emergent pan-Arabism or as a more localized national identity, with these two nationalisms themselves sometimes very much in tension with each other – coexisted awkwardly with more systemic identities rooted in narratives that located Middle Eastern peoples and states within broader clashes of politico-ideological identity along capitalist/socialist lines or what came to be called North/South issues of economic development. This broad post-colonial tension was itself then overlaid by the geopolitical rivalry of the Cold War, the politico-military and ideological demands of which to a degree reinforced the region's polarities, but which also to some extent encouraged the development of victim-identities opposed to any kind of "team" association with manipulative and oppressive outsiders.
Today, however, things are changing again, and all of these narratives of global and regional identity are in flux, having either been exploded outright – like the polarity of the Cold War upon the collapse of the Soviet Empire – or being under assault from various new conceptual organizing schemes. If we are to understand the long-term impact of a nuclear-armed Iran, we must explore the potential ways in which it will play into this ongoing process of identity contestation and competition between organizing frameworks.
The strategic bipolarity of the Cold War was succeeded by a narrative of American monopolarity, in which global dynamics were felt to be conditioned to a historically unprecedented degree upon strategic choices made in Washington. The United States, by this point uniquely, was a power that conceived its interests in truly global terms, and it was able to shape its strategic environment through both "hard" and "soft" means far more broadly and deeply than any other of the major powers.

Cambridge man indicted for agg. vehicular homicide
Written by Z. Daniel Barnett
Alcohol suspected as factor in September crash that killed two
CAMBRIDGE, Ohio -- A Cambridge man has been indicted for vehicular homicide in connection with a fatal crash near Lore City in September.
According to Prosecutor Daniel G. Padden, 54-year-old Darrell Williams was one of eight indicted by the Guernsey County grand jury earlier this week. Reports from the State Highway Patrol indicate that just after midnight on September 21, Williams lost control of his pick-up truck on State Route 285, left the roadway, and overturned the vehicle. Two passengers - 47-year-old Harry Douphin of Port Orange, Florida and 52-year-old Jeanette Clark of Blacklick, Ohio - died as a result of injuries sustained in the crash. Investigators say that alcohol was likely a factor in the crash.
Williams now faces two counts each of aggravated vehicular homicide and operating a vehicle under the influence.
Also indicted by the grand jury on Tuesday: 30-year-old Dana M. Welker of Northfield, Ohio, charged with possession of heroin; and 36-year-old Leanna Joe Young of Lore City, charged with two counts of burglary and one count of attempted burglary. Five indictments handed down were secret.

Flagship GRX330 Processor Uses Dedicated Offload Engines to Accelerate Data, Frees System CPU to Handle Digital Home Applications
MUNICH and NEUBIBERG, Germany and AMSTERDAM, Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lantiq, a leading supplier of broadband access and home networking technologies, today introduced at the Broadband World Forum Show new members of its high performance AnyWAN™ VDSL2 and Ethernet Home Gateway chipset family. The all new highly integrated SoCs include the flagship GRX330 communications processor, which uses a dedicated acceleration engine to maximize 802.11ac Wi-Fi throughput while keeping the CPU available for other tasks.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131022/NE01623 )
'Turbocharging' the Processor
Lantiq GRX processors are "turbocharged" as they feature multiple smart offloading engines. This integrated processing technology ensures that networking traffic is processed outside the CPU. This smart approach leads to zero percent load on the networking processor while operating DSL and Ethernet WAN uplinks.
The Lantiq GRX330 processor also introduces DirectLink™, a packet processing engine optimized for 802.11ac. This allows data transmission at the maximum 802.11ac network data rate without any significant load on the CPU. The GRX330 supports full 802.11ac Wi-Fi data traffic with only one twentieth of the CPU horsepower requirements of competitors' Gateway processors.
Dirk Wieberneit, Lantiq Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) Business Unit:
"Lantiq's unique, lean and smart offloading technologies allow network processing of nearly all data traffic outside of the main CPU. This is substantially different than the typical approach to handle increased network traffic by driving up CPU clock speed, which wastes power and can lead to sub-optimal performance. Our family of smart communications processors ultimately allows customers to more cost-effectively offer value-add services."
More Information on the turbocharging powers of the GRX330, optimized integration and multiple added services is available in the Lantiq Backgrounder on GRX and on the Lantiq website at: http://www.lantiq.com/grx.
Lantiq's new GRX330 communication processor will be available in production quantities in the first quarter of 2014.

Having these features are incredibly beneficial for you; it keeps the interior from being subjected to wear and tear, your feet will remain warm, plus it helps keep your feet comfortable as you are walking outdoors. Although, the liner itself is removable, so you always have the option of taking it out.
On the bottom of this footwear, there is an extremely hard-wearing PolarTrac outsole. You will appreciate its durability and the traction that it provides on even the harshest of terrain.

T-Wolves Want to Stop "Harlem Shake" Craze
The Minnesota Timberwolves want to put a stop to the internet craze called the "Harlem Shake."
The team came out with a video that starts out like all the others of the "Harlem Shake".
One person is dancing to the music but when most other versions of the song show a crowd of people dancing, Crunch shows up and puts a stop to things.
The video was played on the Jumbotron at Target Center when the T-Wolves played the Heat, which explains the Heat jersey the guy was wearing.

We would like the epic to output something else than 25p trough the BNC output is that possible?
Our HD recorder does not like that format, it would like 50i.
We would like the epic to output something else than 25p trough the BNC output is that possible?
Our HD recorder does not like that format, it would like 50i.
copy that my recorder no like 24p it want 24psf. and no, I dont care that its lower in quality!!!! So no replies touting 24p being better guys! I simply dont care. I want my recorder to just work...
I don't think RED has any intentions of supporting interlaced or segmented frames. Like the RED One, it's progressive only. I believe we're supposed to get 720p output in addition to 1080p at some point, but perhaps not...
It's not that we want interalced but just about any recording device works in 50i or so called 24psf wich is basically the same. In other words you get static when you conect the epic to anyhting else than a tv and some random video recorders. If the signal is 50i does not ruin your signal if your signal is 25p enbeded in a 50i is't just as progressive. So shoting out 50i is far more complaint than 25p and the pictures could and would be just the same. So there would be no resolution loss or such as Jeff says. I guess it's coming the updates of the firmware but how do people get around this now?
We would like to have the SDI going tough down converters to DV and such, just for quick on set frame grabbing etc now thats not possible or?
There are several quite high end hardware stuff that do not support the p format.... it's not that anyone wants fields it's just thats "i" is what 90% of the graphics boards asks for instead of "p" still the internal signal can still be progressive. This goes for our whole machine park and I guess pretty much the whole post production industry is 50i as is most converters etc.
But I can change the question... So is it anyone that knows of a simple way to convert from p to i. Does AYA, Black magic or such have a converter that just reclock the signal?
Don't think you're going to get it. RED never offered it with the RED One, doubt they will consider it with the EPIC. Interlaced (or it's evil stepsister, psf) have no place in modern video systems, nor for moving technology forward. I totally understand your point that the majority of current systems out there accept i / psf signal input. Many of these are "high end" or "pro" products, but that's somewhat beside the point here. Interlaced formats should have been shot in the head when digital and HD came along. For reasons defying logic, they were allowed to persist. Same with the whole NTSC / PAL frequency divergence.
Deanan has promised a 720p output very soon for the EPIC. I have the same problem with my IDX CAMWAVE at 25P
I know this doesn't actually solve the problem mentioned in this thread but really surely the future is this: http://cube.teradek.com/cube_family.html
This way you can have loads of different members of the crew monitoring the shot independently and record HD compressed versions of the footage, and all for much lower cost and much greater convenience than an old monitor and an HD recorder
It'll break your heart, but throw out the old recorder, it's fast becoming obsolete..
any updates on this matter... our mixer still refuse to take the P stuff... :(

Three little words that mean so much: Saturday and Sunday.
Yes, if you're a stickler for tradition, why not take a weekend away at Bluestone? From Friday afternoon on there's surely time for a quick getaway - and Bluestone is the perfect spot to lose yourself until Monday morning creeps around and shakes you out of bed again.
Been throwing yourself into your work lately? - try aiming at the sea instead, with some coasteering (ie flinging yourself in a carefully-controlled-yet-still-exhilarating manner off various bits of the Pembrokeshire coastline). Guaranteed a refreshing day out.
Or perhaps you'd rather forego the running about and book yourself in for a day of shameless indulgence (massage, sauna, facial, good food...) at the Well Spa?
Once ensconced in one of our delightfully appointed lodges or cottages, close to village amenities and acres of rolling peace and quiet, your time is your own - and we want to help you get the most from it. Whether you seek a weekend of running about like a mad thing because they've finally unchained you from your desk, or you just want to chill out, you're in the right place.
Check prices and availability or book online. Alternatively, call our Reservations Team on 01834 862 400 who will be happy to help you put together your weekend break.

Szczesny: We're stoked after derby win
Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny says that the Gunners are "buzzing" ahead of their important Champions League match against Montpellier on Wednesday.
By ESPNSTAR.com staff
The Gunners face a crucial game against the French outfit in order to qualify for the next round of the Champions League and Szczesny believes that the 5-2 derby win over Tottenham has given them the perfect confidence boost.
"We couldn't get a better time to play that game [against Montpellier]," he told Arsenal's official website. "We are buzzing today, we can't wait for the next game. We're confident.
"We've had a couple of poor results recently, but we're back on track and we're confident that we can get the three points and qualify for the knockout stages, which is the least you can ask from us.
"We want to make sure we do the job properly and qualify."
Arsenal's season has not been smooth so far - they are currently sixth in the table after three losses and four draws - and the goalkeeper has pleaded for the fans to be more patient with them.
"I know that over the last few weeks the fans might have been frustrated, and we understand that completely," he said. "I think the team and the fans work as a unit, and they were fantastic [against Tottenham], they helped us to get a boost before the game and helped keep us going.
"They deserve a lot of credit for the result as well. We're certainly hoping that they can keep it the same and help us to win all the fixtures coming up.
"Obviously, all Premier League games are as important as the next one but I think the fans enjoy it just that little bit more [against Tottenham] - when we won you could see how much they were buzzing after the game.
"At the final whistle there were still 60,000 people there - the only fans who left were the Tottenham fans. It was fantastic."

SPRING SPRING, Md. — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Monday approved Fulyzaq (crofelemer) to relieve symptoms of diarrhea in HIV/AIDS patients taking antiretroviral therapy, a combination of medicines used to treat HIV infection. Diarrhea is experienced by many HIV/AIDS patients and is a common reason why patients discontinue or switch their antiretroviral therapies.
Fulyzaq is intended to be used in HIV/AIDS patients whose diarrhea is not caused by an infection from a virus, bacteria or parasite. Patients take Fulyzaq two times a day to manage watery diarrhea due to the secretion of electrolytes and water in the gastrointestinal tract. Derived from the red sap of the Croton lechleri plant, Fulyzaq is the second botanical prescription drug approved by FDA. A botanical drug product is often a complex mixture derived from one or more plant materials with varying degrees of purification.
The safety and efficacy of Fulyzaq were established in a clinical trial of 374 HIV-positive patients on stable antiretroviral therapy with a history of diarrhea lasting one month or longer. The median number of daily watery bowel movements was 2.5 per day. Results showed that 17.6% of patients taking Fulyzaq experienced clinical response, compared with 8% taking placebo. In some patients, a persistent anti-diarrheal effect was seen for 20 weeks.
Fulyzaq is distributed by Salix Pharmaceuticals, based in Raleigh, N.C. under license from Napo Pharmaceuticals Veregen is marketed by Florham Park, N.J.-based PharmaDerm.

STEUBENVILLE - They say it's hard to beat a team three times.
What Edison found out against Steubenville Big Red, which it beat three times previously, Saturday at Vaccaro Field in the Ohio Division II sectional final is that it is close to impossible to beat a team four times.
Close to, but not actually impossible.
Article Photos
A LOT OF BASEBALL AT VACCARO FIELD — Edison's Koby Sronce slides into third base as Steubenville Big Red's Lucky McClurg prepares to apply the tag and while Wildcats coach Mike Collopy watches the play. Sronce was called safe during Saturday's Ohio Division II?sectional tournament championship game at Vaccaro Field. The Wildcats won the championship after beating Steubenville, 6-4, in 15 innings.
-- Fred Younce
The Wildcats received outstanding pitching performances from four hurlers and banged out six runs on 12 hits, but it wasn't until Chad Wickham induced Big Red's Lucky McClurg to ground out to third baseman Mark Smyth with runners on second and third in the bottom of the 15th inning that Edison was able to secure the 6-4 win and the sectional crown.
"Whether they beat us three times or we beat them three times they're a heck of a team and a heck of a program," said Edison head coach Mike Collopy. "I have the utmost respect for (Big Red) coach (Fred) Heatherington. To be honest with you we didn't expect anything less. It's always a battle. They're kids showed heart. Our kids showed heart.
"It's just a matter of us being able to take advantage of a couple of things in the 15th inning."
Fact Box
Edison 6, Big Red 4, 15 innings
Edison 001 100 000 000 013 - 6 12 2
Big Red 020 000 000 000 011 - 4 14 2
EDISON: Marcus (1K, 1BB), Smyth (4th, 5K, 2BB), Stagani (8th, 7K, 1BB), Wickham (WP, 11th, 3K, 0BB) and Bertha, Horan (9). Wickham s, 2rbi; Pasek 4s, 2rbi, r; Stagani s; Smyth s, rbi; Hilt 2s, 2r; Marcus s; Rawlings rbi, r; Sronce 2s, 2r.
BIG RED: J. Pierro (6K, 5BB), Corsi (LP, 11th, 4K, 4BB) and Vojvodich. B. Pierro s; J. Pierro 2s, r; Pizzoferrato d, s, rbi; Camilletti r; Vojvodich 2s, 2r; Petrella 4s, rbi; Linn 2s, rbi; Westlake d, rbi.
Edison received the combined efforts of Nolan Marcus, Smyth, Greg Stagani, and Wickham on the hill. Marcus was the starter, going three innings giving up two runs. Smyth, fighting an injury, went 4 while striking out five and and surrendering no runs. Stagani, who went seven innings Thursday in the 3-1 win over Buckeye Local, went 2, striking out seven giving up no runs as well.
Wickham was credited with the win, going five innings, striking out three and giving up two runs.
"Mark Smyth was a warrior," said Collopy. "I don't think anyone knows what he's been through the last week. He came in at a tough spot. The game was kind of teetering a little bit and he came in and did a heck of a job. He had a big hit a couple different times.
"Our other pitchers were tough as well. Wick (Wickham) came in and stepped up. We threw the kitchen sink at them."
Big Red didn't exactly see poor efforts on the hill in defeat. Starting pitcher JoJo Pierro was an iron man going 10 frames, striking out six, and surrendering just two runs. Justin Corsi, who was saddled with the loss, struck out four in five innings.
"Both our pitchers and all their pitchers played well," said Heatherington. "It was a great game. We wish them well in the district, but I feel bad for our kids. Their kids played hard, our kids played hard, but I'm partial to our kids.
"Our two pitchers pitched their butts off, our defense played great, we just made some base running mistakes and it all came down to listening."
Big Red struck first in the second inning. Michael Camilletti led off the frame by drawing a walk followed by a Ryan Vojvodich single. Matt Petrella then smacked a single that scored Camilletti and put Vojvodich on third. The next batter, John Linn, then grounded into a double play, but Vojvodich was able to cross for the 2-0 Big Red lead.
In the top of the fourth Edison got one of those runs back. Koby Sronce picked up a one-out single. Sronce took second and hustled to third on a passed ball. The throw to third was close, but Sronce just beat the tag. Wickham pushed him home on a ground out to short making the score 2-1.
The game was tied up by the Wildcats one frame later. Phil Hilt drew a one-out walk and Marcus pushed him around to third with a single. Warren Rawlings then brought Hilt home with a sacrifice fly to make the score 2-2 after three and a half frames.
Fast forward through 10 innings, some missed opportunities with runners in scoring position by both team, a couple of base running mistakes, some strong pitching, and no runs scored to the top of the 14th where things got a little crazy.
"Our team played hard," said Heatherington. "I couldn't ask more from our team than how hard we played physically. We gave the best effort we could give. Mentally we weren't there.
"We had a chance to win the game four or five times and we didn't because we don't listen. Our season comes down to one word - listening.
"That's the way it's been all year."
Both team's endurance was tested through the marathon of a game as Edison stepped to bat. With two outs Josh Pasek earned a free pass and then took second on a passed ball, leading to an intentional walk of Stagani. Smyth then came through in the clutch with a two-out RBI single to score Pasek and give the Wildcats a 3-2 lead heading into the bottom of the 14th.
Big Red answered right back with a little two-out magic of its own. Pierro picked up a single, stole second, and then took third on a wild pitch. Pat Pizzoferrato followed Pierro's lead and crushed a shot to center for a double to extend the game another frame with the score tied at 3-all.
"Big Red showed a tremendous amount of desire and heart," said Collopy. "Not that anyone doesn't know that. It was just a heck of a game. It's a shame one team had to lose."
In the top of the 15th Hilt opened things up with a single. With one out Rawlings drew a walk and Sronce reached on an error to load the bases. Wickham then drew a walk to score Hilt and Pasek singled to score Rawlings and Sronce for what appeared to be a secure 6-3 Edison lead.
Big Red fought right back with back-to-back singles by Vojvodich and Petrella. Linn then grounded into a fielder's choice that put Petrella out at second, but left runners at first and third with one out. Number nine hitter Evan Westlake came up next and smashed a Wickham delivery off the left field fence for a double that scored Vojvodich and put Linn on third. Wickham stayed calm, struck out the next batter, and then forced the game ending McClurg ground out to secure the 6-4 win and a date with Dover Tuesday at 5 p.m. at River View High School.
"It just comes down to how much you want to win," said Collopy. "There's a lot of times where I'm not easy to play for. It's a tough program to play in.
"We ask a lot of our guys. They sacrifice a lot and the kids that are here in the program want to be here for the right reasons. They want to play baseball.
"I had no doubts. The only thing was that because it was such an emotional roller coaster we just tried to remain even."
With the loss Big Red season comes to a close and they say goodbye to another strong group of seniors.
"JoJo and Lucky have been with us in the varsity for two, three years and they gave us great effort," said Heatherington. "Cam (Camilletti) and Vojvodich were one-year senior players that gave us great effort.
"Our seniors always give us great effort. They know they have to do that at Big Red."

The University of Newcastle's Conservatorium will this week give students an appreciation of the pressures faced by people working in the music industry.
National and international music experts will work with students in Project Week to mimic the pressures faced by musicians when preparing pieces in limited time frames. The pieces will be performed during the week at a series of concerts for the Newcastle community.
Professor Richard Vella said key to the challenge was exposing students to a range of different music styles.
"The result will be an exciting week of workshops and performances in hip hop, world music, improvisation, contemporary choral music, Bartók's piano music, percussion ensembles, jazz, cabaret and film music."
Project Week runs until Friday 29 August 2008.

Roy Underhill's The Woodwright's School is filled to the rafters with vintage hand tools, bacon-powered machinery, solid workbenches, piles of wood and more (you can read about the school in Christopher's Schwarz's August 2009 "Great Woodshops" article). And just about everywhere you look, there are also curiosities. While I was at the school to assist in Christopher Schwarz's "Anarchist's Tool Chest" class, I took photographs of some of the interesting oddities, and asked Roy to give me one sentence or so on each. Below are the top 10.
Never mind the class, it looks like it would be fun to spend your day just checking out Roy's shop.

Financial Aid
Applying for Aid
To get an estimate of how much your family will be expected to contribute toward your educational expenses for one year, use Reed's Net Price Calculator. More information about determining your financial need is available in the Financial Aid Handbook.
Applying for Financial Aid 2014-15: Prospective Students
- File the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid). The 2014-15 FAFSA will be available January 1st, 2014. Please note that you can (and should) initially file the FAFSA with estimated 2013 information, which you may correct at a later date.
- File the College Scholarship Service PROFILE. Please note that you can (and should) file the CSS PROFILE with estimated 2013 information, which you will update by submitting finalized information to Reed using the College Board's Institutional Documentation Service (IDOC).
- Freshman and transfers must submit the Noncustodial PROFILE, if applicable. If parents are divorced or separated, only the parent (and stepparent, if remarried) that the student lived with the most in the past 12 months should complete the PROFILE. However, Reed expects both parents to assist in financing a student's education, therefore, the student's noncustodial parent must complete the Noncustodial PROFILE (NCP). The noncustodial parent must also submit copies of 2013 IRS income tax returns and W2s to the College Board IDOC service.
- Submit copies of your and your parents' (both custodial and noncustodial) 2013 IRS income tax returns, W-2s, 1099 statements, and the verification worksheet with the College Board IDOC service.
- Once your taxes are submitted to the IRS for 2013, we strongly recommend that you and your parents use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to update your 2014-15 FAFSA. Students whose FAFSAs were selected for verification by the federal processors are required to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool. Please note if your parents are married but filing separately, or recently separated/divorced, they may be unable to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool and will need to submit an IRS transcript of their 2013 tax return, in addition to a copy of their 2013 tax return, to College Board IDOC service. If the IDOC packet has already been submitted, the IRS transcript may also be sent directly to the Reed College Financial Aid Office. Download an IRS Data Retrieval Tool tipsheet here!
- International students must file the 2014-15 College Scholarship Service PROFILE and Noncustodial PROFILE (if applicable) and submit foreign tax documents to IDOC by the same deadlines as domestic students. Be sure to include Reed as a recipient (code 4654).

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
C A+F Parking: Parking authorities nail you for tickets.
B A+F Guys & Girls: Everyone is so great at AU.
F A+F Campus Dining: There are only two places to choose from. No chain restaurants or anything.
F A+F Greek Life: WE don't have greek life.
B A+F Athletics: So many to choose from. Also, super easy to create your own.
C A+F Off-Campus Dining: It gets redundant after 4 years.
C A+F Campus Strictness: They mean business about drinking and drugs; otherwise, they're not too bad.
C A+F Majors: i was admitted no issue, even changed majors once
C A+F Majors: they rewrote the curriculum my year so they're working out some kinks
C A+F Off-Campus Housing: its expensive with philly so close by, it does exist though
B A+F Athletics: athletics are what the school probably does the best
D A+F Campus Dining: food is pretty bad. they like to carb overload here
C A+F Weather: its the average for south east pa. little bit of everything
F A+F Computers: wifi here is terrible. the guest network is usually the more reliable
B A+F Guys & Girls: girls are okay here, they're the majority on campus
D A+F Facilities: there is not really anything to do during the week
C A+F Facilities: the buildings are getting outdated. especially the bio/chem department.
D A+F Local Atmosphere: glenside and keswick are okay, nearby cheltenham is a death trap.
C A+F Scholarships: they give out a ton of aid, but the process can be confusing.
C A+F Campus Strictness: they are harsh about parking tickets and will boot your car if you don't have a pass.
C A+F Diversity: there are a ton of gay kids on campus, most are accepted.
B A+F Health & Safety: Although Public Safety is really relaxed, there are several blue lights around campus, and if you feel unsafe, they will escort you to where ever you are going. The campus is really small and I feel really safe walking around late at night.
C A+F Computers: I know several people that do not have computers, however, they spend a lot of time in the library. There are several computer labs on campus in several buildings. However, in the dorms, Wi-Fi is awful. Depending on where you are at, your signal strength could be really great, or really bad.
B A+F Facilities: The campus is kind of built in an oval shape, with a green center in the center of campus. This is nice because on sunny days, people are outside having fun on the green, either just relaxing with friends, studying, or playing sports. The athletic center has two exercise rooms, a gym, and a pool that is available to students during certain hours. The commons is a new building that has a game center in it, with everything ranging from board games and chess to video games. And there is always something going on at campus.
B A+F Facilities: Well, one big thing that sets us apart from other schools is that we have a castle. And even though Arcadia is a small campus, they stress the global experience, and require that students study abroad for a semester (the requirements can be satisfied with several classes if you cannot/ do not want to go abroad). Also, Arcadia is number seven in the US for their graduate Physical Therapy program.

Arcadia has a great close-knit community of students who make everyone feel very welcome. It is a great college for personalized attention from professors who are all very helpful and very knowledgeable in their areas. Most professors have the highest level of recognized achievement in their fields and work well with students. There are also many study abroad opportunities and opportunities to meet people from everywhere.
The best way to have an amazing experience is to get involved right away. Though some feel that Arcadia does not offer much in partying or crazy nightlife, it has a small community of people passionate in what they are doing. Get involved, talk to people, and it is a great college experience.

Our beloved television comedy stars Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother) and Ed Helms (The Office) share the big screen for the upcoming indie film, Jeff, Who Lives At Home.
Directed by Jay and Mark Duplass who have received a lot of hype from their last film Cyrus with John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill and Marissa Tomei – but this could likely seal their mainstream success. It continues Duplass' theme of family dysfunction with Segel as a naive mopey slacker named Jeff living in his mother's basement searching for the meaning of life. He reconnects with his brother Pat (Helms) who soon discovers that his wife is having an affair – meanwhile, their mother (Susan Sarandon) is depressed. Holy dramedy, Batman!
It looks to be in the same vain as Helms' Cedar Rapids or Segel's Forgetting Sarah Marshall rather than their other efforts – it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival to great reviews and is due in theatres nationwide on March 16th.

The Hermosa Beach Saint Patricks Day Parade hadn't expected the likes of us to crash their party! But you know what? It was a phenomenal hit. The sensation of the parade! Why wouldn't we join the parade? One might not even consider doing so, but then again, the Gasser Lounge has an taste for all things exotic and unexpected... the pole dancer kept her clothing on. The crowd cheered louder for our entrants on (pre-'83) motos, bicycles, trucks, wearing furry costumes, and bartenders than for any other entry in the parade. Thank you Hemosa Beach, YOU ROCK!!!
Hermosa Beach St. Patricks Day Parade
That's Right!!!
... and not appreciated by one old hag in Hermosa Beach, who wouldn't know a good time if it slapped her in the face and called her back the next morning (wink wink). Thank god I don't live under the thumb of that nazi-like tyranny. Someone get her a wet nap cause her crocodile tears are the driest I've ever seen!
We then gathered many a lad and had a joyful jaunt around the horn of Palos Verdes before feasting on Shepperd's Pie and downing some Guinness, then a stop by the Magical Potato Tree where the lucky finder of the Golden Key did drink for free thee rest of the night! Good times? Duh.
Thanks to everyone who joins up for our little South Bay ridiculousnesses!
Make sure you join us for our Shamruckus 2014 coming this March

Its always nice to have friends in the right places. Twin Air is hooking us up for the last 15 years in Motocross and now they made special filters for the Hoodlum Street/Flat Tracker. We tested the airfilter this year and it was awesome, with the special GP cover you can ride in dirt/rain/snow and don't have troubles at all. Try to do that with your "paper" air filter, it won't work. Twin Air also made a breather filter with special GP cover, its a prototype so we let you know later if it works, well we know its gonna work, don't worry, Twin Air know their stuff in the Air Filter world. Simply the best and made here in The Netherlands only 8 miles from our shop. Thanks Pieter and Jos @Twinair.

Install the swingarm next.
The pivot was pretty nasty with old grease and rust.
Fresh grease should protect if from more rust.(I have big boy doing some camera work when the jobs are extra nasty.)
Pivot bolt through here.
Smoke all that down tight. The diagram shows a lock nut here, but the one that was on is not a locker so I will have to keep an eye on this one and maybe order the correct one later.
The shock hardware stacks up the like this. A big washer on the inside of the top and little washer on the outside.
Just the little one outside on the bottom.
Something like this on the right side for the muffler.
are in place.
This bigger washer was in the shock hardware bag, but I can't find it on any parts diagrams. I will hold on to it though. Looks important.
To the front wheel, I think the new bearings are seated correctly, so we'll install the seal.
Front wheel into the forks. Brake stay lined and axle started.
Spacer on this side.
The black and smoke chrome are really looking good.
Washer and new lock nut. These early axles are not drilled for cotter pins.
The new lock nut is tight. Big boy had all he wanted holding the axle while I tightened the nut.
The rear wheel gets a new seal, too.
Big boy installs the sprocket dampeners.
Dust cap snaps on.
Cool! New stickers came with the sprocket.
Sprocket goes on.
Big snap ring holds that all together.
Big boy learns a new tool.
Oh man.I knew the blue bike didn't come with chain adjusters, but I guess it didn't have the proper rear wheel spacers either. I can't seem to find them anywhere. I'll double check my teardown pictures, but I will probably have to tear the parts off the red bike. I bought it as spare parts, but I have been trying to keep it as complete as possible for reference sake.
Almost a roller, I would really like to have this thing on two wheels and strapped down to the table better than balanced on the engine cradle.
