Op-ed: Jews at forefront of anti-Israel campaign do much to tarnish Jewish state's reputation
Giulio Meotti

Every day, more celebrated Jewish personalities – writers, artists, academics – are depicting Israel as a racist, vicious and inhumane "entity" that has to be dismantled. Many of them have assumed pivotal roles in the global campaign to delegitimize the Jewish State. Their relentless attacks could well play out in ways that indeed puts an end to Israeli sovereignty.
The initiative for an anti-Israel boycott in London was taken by Stephen and Hilary Rose, two renowned Jewish academics. The linguist Noam Chomsky, considered "the intellectual godfather" of the anti-Israel campaign, seeks the abolition of the Jewish State. Jewish philosopher Judith Butler is leading the divestment from Israel.
Giulio Meotti, a journalist with Il Foglio, is the author of the book A New Shoah: The Untold Story of Israel's Victims of Terrorism

David Robert Mitchell made a tender and sweet coming-of-age story that has given the young writer/director some nice attention. His first feature, "The Myth of the American Sleepover", had its world debut at the SXSW Film Festival in March where it received a special jury prize for Best Ensemble Cast, and has made its way to Cannes this week, screening in Critics Week.
Not unlike "Sleepover," Mitchell is a charming and engaging person who's pursued a particular aesthetic and feel for his film, which was about eight years in the making. And like most filmmakers getting their start, he took chances. The result was one of the more innovative teen dramas in recent memory.
"I definitely felt a certain amount of weight in wanting to do a good job," Mitchell told indieWIRE on a sunny afternoon at the American Pavilion in Cannes this week. "There were a lot of things I wanted to accomplish with it and going into production was frightening, but I decided I had to just focus on the things I had control over. I wrote the script and I believed in it and I kept faithful to the story."
"The Myth of the American Sleepover" follows four young people on the last night of summer. The teens, all played by first-time actors, cross paths one long night as they seek out love and adventure.
Mitchell sought out "real kids with screen presence" to fill the roles, most of them hailing from the suburban Detroit neighborhood where he grew up, and he developed the story via a combination of his own experiences and his own creative input.
"I wanted the audience to see these characters and not recognize them from elsewhere - just see them as people," Mitchell said. "I thought people who don't have a lot of experience [with acting] would bring something more natural to it... We wanted to find people who were a little bit different than what youd find in a Hollywood film." The tone and feel of "Sleepover" is reminiscent of teen dramas before that heyday of high school films in the '80s as embodied by John Hughes, though Mitchell said that those classics do mean a lot to him.
"I used the spine of 'American Graffiti' to tell a story that is a bit more gentle, natural and intimate," Mitchell observed. "There are small moments that may not seem important but are actually very important. Sitting with a girl on the slide and wanting to kiss her. Inching a bit closer to someone. Hanging out on a summer evening with your friends in the backyard. There are the bigger moments too, of course, but there are also those quiet and gentle moments that are important."
After finishing undergrad in Michigan, Mitchell decided to enroll in Florida State's graduate film program after he decided to go into filmmaking - something he said he had wanted to do since junior high school. He had also started making shorts a few years later in high school.
"I had this deep desire to be surrounded by people who wanted to make movies as much as I did. I wanted something really intense. It's everything to me."
While at Florida State, he was already formulating the idea for "Sleepover" in addition to other projects. After completing his program in 2002, he moved to Los Angeles along with some classmates who ended up working on the film with him. He's currently working on a script about a boy pursuing a girl that he says is "tonally similar to 'Sleepover,'" in addition to a story about an L.A. woman in her 20s, which he described as a "simple character story." "I also have other stories from when I was younger that I'd like to go back to, but maybe not right away," he said.
"I like horror films and science fiction, but at the core, what I want to do are [stories] like 'Sleepover.' Maybe not always about teenagers, but something that is honest, personal and gentle at its core."

Sophomore Kyra Holt led the Cougars with 12 kills and contributed eight digs. Stephanie Logan had seven kills with no errors in eight attacks for a match-high and career-high .875 hitting percentage. Chelsey Bettinson added five kills, two aces and had a match-high and career-high seven blocks. Jaicee Harris had six kills, six digs and four blocks. Haley MacDonald had 33 assists and Kate Sommer added eight digs.
Wyoming's Kayla Slofkiss and Bridget Shanahan combined for 25 of the Cowgirls' 44 kills. Courtney Chacon had 41 assists while Lily Austin led the match with 14 digs.
WSU out-blocked Wyoming 12 to five but the Cowgirls hit .275 for the match while the Cougars hit .189. The match had 37 ties and 16 lead changes.
"They didn't make a whole lot of errors down the stretch and it seemed like those were the times we were making unforced errors. We needed to take advantage of those opportunities," WSU fourth-year Head Coach Jen Greeny said. "It's hard in the first match of the season because you're not quite sure what to expect (of the opponents). They didn't make many mistakes and kept the ball in play. We have to make adjustments when playing a team that is playing well."
This was the first season-opening match the Cougars have lost since 2004 when UNLV took a 3-2 win in Las Vegas.
Saturday, Aug. 30, the Cougars play host team Montana at 11 a.m. PT, and then takes on Cal Poly at 4 p.m. PT. All road matches for WSU volleyball in 2014 are available online, free of charge, at www.wsucougars.com

The trivia game is quite simple for the uninitiated: Each day, A Google a Day presents the player with a riddle or question, inviting the player to use Google to find the answer as quickly as possible. And that's about it. But now, Google's game made out of its primary function offers friend-filled leader boards and the ability to post other accomplishments on Google+.
We hope to see Google invest more in its own games and game platforms, rather than third parties, and especially those surrounding its own products. (Take the upcoming Play Your World game using Google Maps, for instance.) We guess you could consider this gamification in the purest sense--you know, making real games from things that aren't traditionally games?

It's been a while since you've seen stripey things here, huh? No, I've not stopped looking for back-ups for my #1 Stripey Thing, that super-boxy heavyweight cotton Remo one that's not being made anymore. Nope. And I think I might have found something close - these by Armor Lux from our friendly neighbourhood Standard Store.
The boat neck is not cut as wide as the Remo one but I don't mind that one bit because the body is just as boxy* as my #1. The fabric has a good weight, not as heavy as my old faithful but still a sturdy material. And the white one which I bought many months ago has passed the multi-wear-and-wash no-pilling test. Woo! I love it so much that I bought the navy blue one at the store's recent sale. I think I've found my "forever" brand for stripey things! The end of buying and testing and wondering! Yay!
* These ones I have are Armor Lux for men = roomy fit + straight sides = love! And I sized up too for extra-boxy-ness!

Oh boy! Here we go! Lulu sticking his foot in his mouth already. He says he's already proven everyone wrong. Kinda like when he tried to blow off Red Bull as a "drinks company trying to race in F1" then Seb burnt him up on track, and the quote "I am never a quitter and always fight to the bitter end" only to declare in the MIDDLE OF A RACE a few weeks later "I'm done, lets just pull this thing into the garage." Now he comes in 5th place and he's proven everyone wrong? I guess thats his comfort level, just like the place he has come in the championship the last few years. Anyway, all this race proved is that Ferrari, Lotus, and Red Bull are faster, and that Nico had advanced to Lulu's gearbox while Lulu lost places. Can a fanboi come and explain to me how this is a "small victory" for Hamilton? I'm lost

New Magic Mike Trailer Is Raining Men
By Katey Rich 2012-06-01 14:33:27 comments
With The Avengers already out there and Prometheus coming soon, a lot of comic book and sci-fi fans might think their summers have peaked, with only the now-distant promise of The Dark Knight Rises leaving them anything to look forward to this summer. Personally, I can't help but pity them-- my most anticipated movie of the summer is Magic Mike, it's coming out on June 29, and every time we get a look at it, it looks all the more awesome.
Take this new clip that kind of turns into a trailer by the end, which premiered at MTV in advance of their movie awards this Sunday. It's raining men, indeed .
Even if you're not especially into male strippers-- and trust me, no one is really into male strippers-- you have to admit the dancing here is kind of amazing, as is Matthew McConaughey's soon-to-be-immortal line "I see a lot of lawbreakers in the room tonight." Magic Mike isn't my most anticipated summer movie because I just want to see shirtless muscular dudes-- we have Warrior for that-- but because it looks like a hell of a lot of fun, a bachelorette party put up on the screen for everyone to enjoy.
Alright, you don't have to share my enthusiasm. Just acknowledge that while other people might get pumped about superhero movies or The Expendables 2, I choose to support what looks to be the cinematic equivalent of a dance party.

Mountain Ya
rns....where experiences happen
Walk down the porch...it's worth the walk!
Come inside and wander through our locally handmade items. Our girls love to create so there are always hats, scarves, fingerless mitts, shawls, handtowels etc. to dig through. Inspiration abounds here with our yarns...from the inexpensive yet worthy..to the handpainted and handspun ... our selection is sure to please you! The colors and textures just ask for your touch.
The other half is where all the excitement takes place. We inspire people to knit, crochet, rug hook and weave every day. Stop in for help with your current project or set yourself up with a new project.....knitters rarely have only one thing to work on. Sit, laugh, cry, encourage, smile, scowl, eat and drink and be merry. It is what we do. Come and join our Sat. and Sun. groups.
Come and see
Tina's handyed yarns....Gabrajina
. Every two weeks I spend my Wednesdays dying new colors for the store. They are then placed on the shelf and first come..first served. It's hard for me to put everything I dye up on the shelf. As I am dying them I envision all the projects I could make with the yarns. Since there are not enough hours in the day to do this ......I try to choose just one for my personal stash and share the rest with customers!
Spinning Fibers And Handspun Yarns
Touch my handspun yarns and don't be alarmed if you need to have it! It is a common occurance that takes place. Knitting with handspun is a treat. It may make you want to learn to spin....we can help with that also. Spinning fibers are back in stock and fleece is being dyed. I card up 8-10 groupings at a time and then begin spinning. Such pleasure!
Woven Items
I spend a lot of time weaving...being inspired always to do more by your requests for colors and more choices. I don't classify my work. A handtowel to me may be a dresser scarf or a placemat to you. I just weave them and let you choose the purpose. I have just recently moved my studio space into the house again....My loom and yarns has not enjoyed being flooded in my studio space twice... so I am back to work again. It was very inspiring to move the studio.....I found colors and textures I had forgotten about. Now to find enough time to create all the new ideas I have... Is sleep necessary is the question!
We have expanded into the space next door to create Turid's Classroom
Check out our events page to see upcoming classes, workshops and group days. We now have lots of room to enjoy all of the things we love to do. Knit, Crochet, Spin, Weave, Rug Hook......it's all happening here.

We did a focus group as part of strategic planning at Trinity Episcopal Church, Clarksville, Tenn. Question: if you stood on the edge of your church's property and looked outward, rather than inward as we usually do, what would you see?
A public school kindergarten teacher spoke about kids who come to school hungry and wearing shabby clothing. She started to discuss the family chaos her kids describe during sharing time, but she began to weep and couldn't speak at all.
"We see kids born into addictive families," she said. "Their fine-motor skills are missing. Your heart breaks for them. They try so hard, but they don't have the at-home support. Some parents are struggling just to put food on the table."
A company commander from the Army's Fort Campbell sees "brokenness" among her soldiers. Many joined the military to escape deprivation back home, but it doesn't always work. "They come from families with too many children," she said, "gang violence in their former home. They have no money here because they're supporting family back home.
"People struggle because they aren't emotionally or spiritually equipped to deal with life's circumstances, not even ordinary bumps in the road. I see a lot of stress and pain, but not all from combat. Suicidal thoughts, domestic abuse, alcoholism. These problems came with them. It isn't a uniquely military issue. It's people, it's life. The military is a microcosm."
A college professor said many students slog through four-year degrees with little hope of getting a job after graduation. "A lot of students ... would do better getting a vocational education," he said. But they need the tuition assistance and loans in order to live.
Even then, the university's food pantry distributes more food to students every year, said a campus staffer, adding, "We see students going through the food line several times; this can be the only food they get." A local Baptist congregation hands out Pop-Tarts just so students will have something to eat.
"I don't think we understand the magnitude of hunger out there," said a retired chaplain, estimating that 25 percent of seniors go to bed hungry.
Selling a house here is difficult, said a local realty agent. Foreclosures are high, especially among military families who bought more than they could afford and then were reassigned.
Even though Clarksville advertises itself as a "great place for retirement," that is mostly untrue, participants said. One exception is hospice, said a man who is charged with caring for his mentally disabled mother, after his five siblings bailed on him.
"Substance abuse is a huge problem," said a veteran pastor. The Army officer described an epidemic of "binge drinking" among soldiers.
It went on like this for nearly three hours, while the team members from Trinity took notes. This is what guests described in a middle American city of 133,000, where income levels are relatively high, schools relatively good and churches still largely functional.
The next phase in this planning team's work just got a lot more serious.
Posted at 12:12 pm (U.S. Eastern) 4/9/2013
I love the question: If you stood on the edge of your church's property and looked outward, rather than inward as we usually do, what would you see? Reminds me of a church in Denver that cancelled services one Sunday and just sent people out in teams to walk through the neighborhoods to see what was going on. The result was the church created a food pantry and meals for the homeless and seniors. Jesus said there are none so blind as those who will not see. What I find so frustrating is the resistance to asking the question. There is so much focus on the building in many churches and keeping the same activities going year after year. The usual question is how will we pay the bills instead of why are we here? With no sense of real purpose people drift away from the church until the pews are so empty there is no one to either pay the bills or do ministry.
Posted at 5:05 pm (U.S. Eastern) 4/9/2013
Amen to this story. This is indeed what we see from our church. And Amen again to the last sentence. How does the congregation look honestly at the struggles in plain sight? How do we understand the work of congregational life, the work of the Holy Spirit, so that it includes walking with, healing, and empowering those who face layer upon layer of challenge?
Posted at 8:49 pm (U.S. Eastern) 4/9/2013
It is hard to balance maintaining a congregation as an institution and reaching out to the surrounding community. All too often, I think we fall into the trap of ignoring the surrounding community and just focusing on our own internal issues. All of Patricia's points are well taken.

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition
It all began with a television producer's phone call asking KraftMaid to help a deserving family in need of a fresh start. Seasons later, we are proud to remain the exclusive cabinetry provider of ABC's award-winning program, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Episode 5The Yazzie Family
In the Yazzie family, young Garret is boy who took it upon himself to be the man of his family after his father left him, his two siblings and their mother to fend for themselves on the Navajo reservation. For the past five years, this family has lived in a single wide trailer without running water or heat and only half of the trailer has electricity. Garrett's younger sister is a special needs child who suffers from severe asthma and epilepsy. Burning coal and fire to heat the home definitely puts her heath at serious risk and their utility bills are extremely high. It was because of this that young Garrett knew he had to do something to help his family. This is when he decided he would invent a solar heater and water heater out of junk he would find in the junk yard.
In this episode of EMHE, the design team heads to Arizona to help a boy that has the courage to not only take care of his mother and family but to go out into the world and find ways that science can help his people live better - giving them running water, electricity, and hope.
The Yazzie's brand new home was outfitted with not one, but two kitchen areas to suite the needs of mother and daughter. Georgia's kitchen was designed using KraftMaid's traditional cabinetry in maple wood, stained in Caramel with Satin Nickel Bow drawer pulls. KraftMaid's Venicia line of cabinetry was chosen for Geralene's kitchen area using the deep brown Tygris Gloss finish and Aluminum Round bar pulls completing the look. The Lustra collection from Venicia was again used in Geralene's bathroom, this time the crisp white Bianco Gloss brightened the room with Satin Nickel Bow pulls accenting the doors.
In the laundry room as well as young Garret's hobby room, the golden Honey Spice finish was used on maple cabinetry to provide exceptional storage in these busy rooms. Satina Glass inserts were installed in the hobby rooms, while Stainless Steel Bar knobs and pulls finished off the laundry room.

PHOENIX, Arizona, October 29. ON today's edition of The Morning Swim Show we meet Notre Dame junior Frank Dyer, who made history last season at the NCAAs and hopes his teammates will feed off that success this season.
Dyer placed fourth in the 200 free at the NCAA championships, and he relives the experience of racing swimmers from more notable swimming schools, and why he was not afraid of representing Notre Dame in that race. He also talks about his relationship with head coach Tim Welsh, and how the team is working toward getting more male swimmers to the championship meet in March. Be sure to visit SwimmingWorld.TV for more video interviews.

Jeff Commings: This is The Morning Swim Show for Monday, October 29th, 2012. I'm your host Jeff Comings. Notre Dame's Frank Dyer finished fourth in the 200 freestyle at the 2012 NCAA Championships, the highest placing for a Notre Dame male swimmer in the program's history. Dyer is now a junior in Notre Dame and he joins us right now in the FINIS Monitor. Frank, welcome to the show. How are you today?
Frank Dyer: Doing pretty well. How about yourself?
Jeff Commings: Doing well, thanks. Thanks for joining us. So, you're the first All-American swimmer at Notre Dame, at least on the men's side. How does it feel to be attached to that distinction?
Frank Dyer: You know, I think it just comes with the school that I go to. Notre Dame has such a rich history of excellence in sports and just football, basketball, what other sport it may be, and I just think it's really cool to be the first one for the swimming and diving aspect, at least on the male side, like you said.
Jeff Commings: When you came back from NCAA's getting fourth in that 200 free, was there any kind of celebration going on at the school? I mean, did the athletic department kind of do anything that would kind of rival what they do when Notre Dame football wins?
Frank Dyer: You know, football kind of takes priority over swimming, but one thing we do have every year at that end of the year is called this Oscars Program, which basically celebrates all the student-athletes here at Notre Dame, and our emcee, which is named Keith Embrey, he's one of the directors here for the Student Welfare and Development Program, he basically gave me a little shutout. We had all the student athletes in the room and he said where is Frank Dyer? And I stood up and he said — he gave me a little props for being the first All-American on the men's side, so that was pretty cool. That made me feel really awesome.
Jeff Commings: Probably got chills to be in that room.
Frank Dyer: Yeah.
Jeff Commings: It's really cool. So you dropped two seconds in getting that fourth place in your 200 freestyle from your freshmen to sophomore year. I mean, what happened in that year to make you drop so much time?
Frank Dyer: You know, I think I really kind of found a place on this team. I came in my freshman year and we had a lot of really good guys older than me and a lot of strong leadership on the team. And my first year was kind of getting my foot in the door and seeing where it could take me. My second year, I really felt like I found my place on the team and developed my own leadership role and found out where I could excel and do a lot better in. And that definitely brought me through my second year especially coming off such a fantastic freshman year, and I just let that positive energy from my first year definitely brought it over to the second year where I definitely thought I could succeed a lot more.
Jeff Commings: Was it kind of just this mental just breakthrough between your freshmen and sophomore year you just kind of said, you know, look, I actually feel like I'm a part of this and I'm going to step up know?
Frank Dyer: Yeah. I definitely knew that after my freshman year I exceeded the expectations that I had set for myself, maybe not for my coaches, but definitely for myself I felt like my freshman year was just kind of test drive to where I could go in the collegiate athletics. And going into my second year I felt like I could just do so much than I had done, and I'm a big fan of positive energy like you said. I think it was just a mental thing that I just kind of had to sit myself down and say I've had so much success in my freshman year and it has to continue on to the my sophomore and, hopefully, to my junior and senior year as well.
Jeff Commings: Tell me what was like to be in that A final in that 200 freestyle NCAAs.
Frank Dyer: That was pretty cool, I mean, especially my freshman year at the meet, as you know, Cal won its first national championship and the atmosphere at the first meet out in Minnesota was just unbelievable. I mean, like, they had double the size of — half of the crowd was half of Cal's alumni. So, then, going into my sophomore year I knew that that meet, the atmosphere would just be so amazing and intense and I had Dax Hill next to me from Texas and the USC guy, unbelievable guys. A lot of big schools in there and this was the first time Notre Dame would be in an A final. And I just knew that I had to represent my school well and it was a really incredible feeling. I was going in second, I got fourth, but it was still — I was so proud of the accomplishments that I'd done and what I had done for Notre Dame, so it was really awesome.
Jeff Commings: Knowing that you had these big schools representing in these lanes next to you, you know, was there a little bit of butterflies in your stomach, like, do I actually belong in this or did you kind of feed off that?
Frank Dyer: You know, all year I think my 200 time had been on collegiateswimming.com that I was up there third, second, fourth, or whatever, and I don't look at those, but my — a lot of my teammates and my coaches do and saw that I had been in the mix for a little while, and I think going in to that meet I kind of had a little something in me that I knew that I really was capable of swimming at that meet with those guys, and just because this was the first time that Notre Dame had been in that final heat. It doesn't mean that I didn't belong there, not at all. And I felt even these were big schools, I mean, just the powerhouse swimming schools you hear Notre Dame may not be one of them, but we're definitely trying to get there, and that meet was I think the first step in the right direction for that.
Jeff Commings: I would say so. Now, Tim Welsh has been leading this program at Notre Dame for many years. What was it about him as a coach that made you feel like he was the right fit for you?
Frank Dyer: When I was looking at schools, I really, really valued the coaches. When I came out, actually, I met Tim, it was December of my senior year out at Ohio State, the Junior Nationals. And Tim spoke with my parents before he spoke to me, obviously, 'cause he had to wait until the last one of my races. And I remember speaking with Tim and he had so much experience about the sport and so much knowledge that I've never really seen in a coach before until I met him, and I really saw that he was so passionate about Notre Dame swimming and where he's led the program. And I think my freshman year they had just come off a win in 2009 in the Big East, and he was really, really passionate about where Notre Dame, where he wanted Notre Dame to go and where he thought I could take it. And he instilled that in me the moment I met him. And I was fortunate to go out on a trip in January and, eventually, I just fell in love with the school and definitely know that it is the right fit for me based on that first meeting with Tim I thought.
Jeff Commings: Well, even though you are kind of top name in the Notre Dame swimming program right now, you're not the only name, so how does the team look this season?
Frank Dyer: Actually, we have — every single one of our scoring swimmers from the Big East Meet last year returning, so we have a very strong senior class, a very strong junior class, and a very, very strong sophomore class. We've brought in, I think, it's about eight or nine freshmen that I really think that we are better than last year already time-wise. And our coaches have instilled in us over and over again that we won last year, we won the Big East, but that doesn't we're going to win it again. We've got a lot more hard work to put into but we do know that the talent we had last year is here and it's just a matter of how we're going to be able to tap into that talent and how are we going to be able to drive ourselves to succeed to this season.
Jeff Commings: You think we might see somebody else going at the NCAAs besides you?
Frank Dyer: That's absolutely true. We've — we're having — currently, we just had our fall break last week and we are talking about goal meetings and goal setting and this year it's a little bit different. For the past years I think for me it's been individual and time wise, and now it's time to kind of talk about relays and especially with the changes in the NCAA selection process. We feel that we definitely will have some more guys get there and, hopefully, with the improvements that we will make this year will definitely have some more guys score.
Jeff Commings: Now, at the NCAAs your 200 was better than your 500, but at Olympic trials your 400 was better than your 200. So what could you say is your better event?
Frank Dyer: You know, it's funny, people ask me that and I say that I know how to swim eight lengths of a pool. I just know how to do eight lengths. So, obviously, the 200 yard freestyle is eight lengths and the 400 meter freestyle is eight lengths. And it's funny because at different times I'm a different — I have a better race. My freshman year was all about the 500. Last year was about the 200. And this year I'm really thinking about trying to guide both of those into where they should be equally as good. And I think that that comes with lot of kind of mental training that — I think I just had a really spectacular year with my 200 last year and that was me thinking that I'm – I was going to continue that success with the 200. But I know that I'm also — I have a lot of success in the 500 as well, so this year I think we'll have to be kind of finding that balance between the 200 and the 500 and, hopefully, improving equally upon both.
Jeff Commings: Well just think of your 500 as two eight-length chunks and then an extra 100 at the end.
Frank Dyer: Yeah, yeah, that's right.
Jeff Commings: I saw that you were member of your chorus in high school. Are you still musically involved in Notre Dame?
Frank Dyer: Yeah, actually, well, yeah, when I was in high school, I was in a select chorus with actually, like, 11 of my best friends were in that group with me. And my freshman year I didn't do anything, I just kind of stuck to swimming, but last year one of the women's team members, Kelly Ryan, who also swam at the NCAAs for Notre Dame, convinced me to join an a cappella group on campus called Half Time. And we perform — we practice twice a week and it's something that I really value 'cause it's not swimming and it's not school, and it's definitely taken my mind off those two things where I can relax and enjoy myself and it's something that I've really enjoyed in the past and I'm really glad that I've taken that opportunity to do it here at Notre Dame.
Jeff Commings: Well, I'm just going to put you on the spot to end the show here, if you want to kind of take us off with singing a little bit of a tune. We've had a lot of musical talent on the show and we could add you to that list.
Frank Dyer: You really want me to sing something?
Jeff Commings: If you want. I'm not going to pressure you to do so.
Frank Dyer: Okay. I'm going to say that I'm not going to, but I will tell you who I am a really big fan of. I — in my group I sing the song "Everything" by Michael Bubl?, and a lot of my friends know that I'm a huge fun of Michael Bubl? and he's — I like singing his music. I like Frank Sinatra. I like the songs he does by Frank, and so that's one of my big fans. I'm not going to sing 'cause the connection is probably bad and I don't want to sound too terrible, so I'll just leave it at that.
Jeff Commings: All right, well, it whets our appetite. Maybe we'll have you back on the show when you are more a little bit more prepared and —
Frank Dyer: Oh, yeah.
Jeff Commings: We'd love to hear Frank Dyer singing for us on the Morning Swim Show sometime.
Frank Dyer: Okay.
Jeff Commings: All right, Frank, thanks so much for joining us, and congratulations on the past success, and we'll look forward to all your future success.
Frank Dyer: Yeah, I really appreciate it. Thank you for having me.
Jeff Commings: No problem. That's Frank Dyer joining us on the Morning Swim Show today. We'll have him back to sing for us. And that's going to do it for today's Morning Swim Show. I'm Jeff Commings. Thanks for watching.

Youngstown, Ohio - Five players registered double-doubles and the Bulldogs hit .238 in the match as Butler battled to a grueling 31-33, 30-24, 30-20, 30-32, 18-16 victory at Youngstown State on Saturday (Oct. 13).
Butler rallied back from an opening game defeat to claim two-straight strong wins before the Penguins answered in the fourth contest to force the deciding fifth game. The Bulldogs came up big when they needed in the deciding contest, getting the game-tying points on two consecutive YSU match points before snagging the win on a kill by Michelle DeGeeter.
Four players finished with double-figure kills in the match, with sophomore Porshia Allen leading the team with 24 kills, as the Bulldogs finished with a season-high 83 kills.
The Bulldogs led early in the first contest, building up a seven point margin at 27-20, but a 9-2 run brought the Penguins back to even at 29-29 before YSU sealed the opening victory at 33-31.
There would be no comeback for the Penguins in the second game, as the Bulldogs led throughout en route to a 30-24 decision. A 2-0 advantage to begin the third game would be all YSU would get, as an ensuing 16-4 run by Butler put the game out of reach in a hurry before winning 30-20.
After Butler led by two as late as 14-12 in the fourth contest, the Penguins came back with a 10-3 run to take a 22-17 lead before reaching game point at 30-29. A kill by Jessica Wolfe brought the Bulldogs back to even, but YSU scored the final two points to force the deciding fifth game.
DeGeeter finished with her team-leading ninth double-double of the year with 15 kills and 18 digs, while Allen notched her eighth with 24 kills and 14 digs. Freshman Katie Daprile finished with her fifth double-double with 18 kills and a team-high 20 digs.
Junior setter Dana Daprile dished a team-leading 39 assists and added 10 kills for her first double-double of the season, while sophomore setter Brittany Awai scored her fifth with 25 assists and 11 digs.
Butler closes its six-match road trip on Friday (Oct. 19) when it travels to Valparaiso, Ind. for an 8:00 p.m. ET contest with the Crusaders.

I am building a nested comment reply system within my app.
Everything currently works as intended however I have found myself having to use several MySQL queries in order to retrieve the data required. And even worse the query for the 'replies' is within a foreach loop. Meaning that although it performs admirably for now, it is far from optimal and will cause problems as the dataset grows.
Therefore I wish to solve this before I go any deeper into development.
Since the tables for the app share the same as the wordpress blog for the site I am using the wordpress shorthand for the queries.
The current way the page is generated is as follows:
A comments table is queried and all results relating to a projectid are retrieved:-
$commentquery = "select projects_comments.*, users.user_url, users.display_name
from ".$wpdb->prefix."projects_comments projects_comments
left join ".$wpdb->prefix."users users on users.ID=projects_comments.userid
where projectid = '$projectid'
order by projects_comments.commentid desc
$comments = $wpdb->get_results($commentquery);
I then perform a foreach loop as below:-
if($comments) {
foreach ( $comments as $c )
$replyquery = "select project_replies.*, users.user_url, users.display_name
from ".$wpdb->prefix."project_replies project_replies
left join ".$wpdb->prefix."users users on users.ID=project_replies.uid
where project_replies.cid = '$c->commentid'
order by project_replies.id desc
limit 2
$replies = $wpdb->get_results($replyquery);
$countquery = "select count(*)
from ".$wpdb->prefix."project_replies project_replies
where project_replies.cid='".$c->commentid."'
$replycount = $wpdb->get_var($countquery);
//generate html here
Inside this loop is two further queries. The first gets the replies for each comment but limits the results to 2 (I wish to do this in order to have a "see all replies" button which then queries the DB for the rest if the user requires them), the second query counts the total number of replies.
The html is then also generated for each reply within the loop using a second nested foreach within the above loop (where it says generate html code here) as below:-
if ($replies){
foreach ( $replies as $r ){
// generate each reply
All data is pulled from these arrays in the following manner:
$c->userid, $c->body etc... For the comments
$r->userid, $r->body etc... For the replies.
I wish to keep this format if at all possible.
So as stated at the beginning of the question, this all works perfectly however I am aware that by nesting the reply and count queries I am performing many more queries than necessary. 100 comments will generate 100 replies queries and 100 count replies queries etc.
Thanks to some helpful people on this site I have considered using a join to get all the original data in one go for the comments and replies. Like so...
$commentquery2 = "SELECT c.commentid, c.userid, c.body as cbody, c.projectid, c.posttime, cu.user_url AS cu_url, cu.display_name AS cu_name,
r.*, ru.user_url AS ru_url, ru.display_name AS ru_name
FROM ".$wpdb->prefix."projects_comments AS c
LEFT JOIN ".$wpdb->prefix."users AS cu ON cu.ID = c.userid
LEFT JOIN ".$wpdb->prefix."project_replies AS r ON r.cid = c.commentid
LEFT JOIN ".$wpdb->prefix."users AS ru ON ru.ID = r.uid
WHERE c.projectid = $projectid
ORDER BY c.commentid DESC, r.id DESC";
Although this does indeed work (and was enough for me to mark that question as answered), when putting it into practice I have had several difficulties.
Firstly this retrieves all data as separate rows meaning that if I have 5 comments each with 3 replies, I actually get 15 rows returned and not a nested data object with the replies being nested within each comment row.
To tackle this I have tried some array manipulation as shown:
foreach($getcomments as $c){
if($c->commentid !== $old_id){
$comments[$old_id] = $c;
$old_id = $c->commentid;
$comments[$old_id]['replies'][] = $c;
Doing this gives me a nested data object as required. However it does not include the reply counting query and it does not limit each set of replies to 2 as intended, it retrieves all of them.
And finally with my current html generation code within the foreach loops:
//generate comment html
foreach($replies) {
//generate replies html
I cannot seem to get it to work correctly with the nested data object. Accessing the correct deep replies seems to have me baffled.
So to summarise, I wish to be able to remove the looped queries, combine them into one large and more efficient query or at worst in to a data query and a separate counting query, then create a neatly nested data object, with the comments as rows and any replies nested within under the heading 'replies'
Then I need to be able to iterate through these correctly within my php code in order to generate the required html.
I apologise for the length of this question and realise it may well put many of you off answering, But I have been battling with this for 19 hours straight now and really need the help.
Many thanks to anyone who offers any suggestions.

Not only has the year in music featured high quality meme moments, artist's own mouths have provided a host of amazing material to chew on. Here's our five favorite WTF moments from the last 12 months that happened when talking to the people who's job it is to talk to us about their music.
1. Marilyn Manson's Naked Pillow Fights
I've had moments where I've told girls that if they fought my girlfriend in a nude pillow fight and won that I would have sex with them, and then my girlfriend proceeded to pull out a pencil—and this comes back to my pencil metaphor—and started stabbing a pillow and there were feathers everywhere, and the girls just sat there and didn't do anything. – As told to Eric Spitznagel
2. Andrew WK is Pinkie Pie in Human Form
I almost feel like, rather than Pinkie Pie being me in pony form, I'm Pinkie Pie in human form. With respect to the legacy and the entire phenomenon, and to other fans of My Little Pony, and the Bronies out there — I would never be so bold to say that I was in front of Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie is in front of me. I was born, technically speaking, before Pinkie Pie was born, but I still feel like she has been the originator of this party spirit, and I am just a humble follower. — As told to Dan Solomon
3. Joey Bada$$ Just Wants to Lick Rita Ora's Face
Hell yeah, I'm gonna, like, lick her face off when I see her! If A$AP Rocky touches her, it's war, 'cause he's been getting all the industry chicks that I've been crushing on and shit, so it's war if he goes after her. — As told to Phillip Mlynar
4. Angel Haze Doesn't Like Sandwiches; Loves Chipotle
I don't even like sandwiches. I can tell you the Chipotle order of a young rap brat. You have to have extra rice. They get so mad at me. After we're done I'm going to go next door to Chipotle and ask for extra rice until I'm satisfied with it and extra cheese and extra mild sauce 'cause I don't really like meat. — As told to Phillip Mlynar
5. Amanda Palmer Wears Her Own Blood
It was sort of nice to feel, you know, "Well hey, I guess the back of my dress is covered in blood. What do you know about that? I don't think anyone here fucking cares, so whatever." That's actually a really beautiful moment when you realize, all of that was in your head to begin with. — As told to Eric Spitznagel

New York University students are in for a treat this coming Spring semester when they see Professor ?uestlove on their syllabus. From DJing, being part of the house band on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon," producing for various artists–on top of being a hip hop connoisseur-?uestlove can now add professor to his resume.
?uestlove and Universal Music's Harry Weinger are teaching a class called "Classic Albums" at the Clive Davis Institute for Recorded Music at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts. The class will take an in-depth look at how certain albums were able to stand the test of time, breaking down music, lyrics, production, business aspects, and more. Some of the albums that NYU students will study include Prince's Dirty Mind, Michael Jackson's Off the Wall, and The Beastie Boys' Paul's Boutique.
This isn't the first time hip-hop has made an impact at NYU. In 2010, Swizz Beatz was named producer-in-residence.
Would you sign up for ?uestlove's NYU course?

Basil has always been one of my favorite herbs. I love what it does to desserts just as much as I love what it does to pasta sauce. With berry season wrapping up, I couldn't help but attempt a jam, spiked with basil. Strawberries have enough natural pectin in them that you don't need to add any, so this is a great recipe for jam making rookies.
This turned out just as wonderfully as I would have hoped. If you're planning on canning this jam, be sure to add an extra cup of sugar to ensure that there's enough in there preserve it. This is a small batch recipe, so I opted to eat it right away. Goes great with an English muffin for breakfast, or in the center of a butter cookie.
Strawberry-Basil Jam
Skill Level: Intermediate
Yield: A lot (more than you can reasonably eat in 3 months – be prepared to give some away)
1/8 c chopped fresh basil
1/4 c lime jc
1/4 c water
1 1/4 c sugar
1 tbsp grated lime peel
2 lbs hulled strawberries
- Lightly crush strawberries in a large bowl.
- In a medium saucepan, heat lime juice, sugar, strawberries and water over low heat.
- Continuously stir mixture until the sugar has dissolved. Once the sugar has dissolved, increase heat to high until it begins to boil, stirring constantly.
- Add grated lime peel and basil to boiling strawberry mixture.
- Continue to heat until the mixture reaches 220 degrees (about 5 minutes over high heat).

Visit Moezilla
Some chicks might take a look at Moe Johnson's penis and gasp in amazement at its length and girth. But the chicks who are brave enough to let him slide his monster cock deep into their pussy just happen to be some of the horniest, well-known pornstars around! On Moezilla, we get to watch this big-dicked brotha slide his thick chocolate cock into juicy pussies.
You'll find 13 movies in this collection. All of them can be streamed in an embedded Flowplayer or downloaded as MP4 files that give you Full HD playback. There isn't an extravagant amount of movies, so I was looking forward to at least checking out some picture of Moe railing horny chicks. Lo and behold, I found 13 photo sets filled with high-res images.
In scant amount of flicks I happened to catch, Moe was definitely putting in some serious work. There's one scene where he and one of his buddies (who also happens to have an enormous cock) tag-team the busty and lovely Sara Jay. Seeing her thick thighs and round bubble butt bounce up and down on Moe's crotch while her lips are wrapped around another dick is truly a thing of beauty.
He doesn't shy away from fucking ebony women either, as I saw in his scene with with the curvy, caramel-skinned Mia Peach. He fucks her doggy style for a good amount of time, causing her ass cheeks to ripple with each stroke. Whether he's banging a chick by himself or enlists the help of one of his friends, he always puts on a great show.
Moezilla is a cool-looking site, thanks to the bright color scheme and creative design. It basically sits on one page, with all of the sections listed on the left-hand side, so browsing is very simple. I think it was a nice touch to put his live Twitter feed on the front page.
Moezilla is adding a new flick every two weeks. You don't get any bonus sites, but you can check out videos from the Top Web Model network that star beautiful babes like Charley Chase, Danica Dilian and Kimmy Kay. There are also live shows, a Q&A section and an "about me" section.
With the lack of content, Moezilla appears to be a site that's still under construction. Hopefully more movies are on the way because, otherwise, your visit here will be a very short one.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Corporate-sponsored science for brand recognition is nothing new in our ad driven world, but Redbull manages to excel in this area of sponsorship.
Past notable sponsorships include Shaklee corporation's sponsorship of the 1988 Daedalus, which broke the record for distance for human powered aircraft, and Watchmaker Breitling's sponsorship in 1999 of the first successful round the world balloon flight. (ABCNews)
With the fall of NASA's budget and researchers always looking for funding, companies and scientists could benefit from each other. Redbull accomplished this by branding the stratus jump, but making sure the science of the project wasn't diluted.
lest you doubt the scientific merits of Baumgartner's stunt, the AP talked to NASA engineers who say it could definitely improve spacesuit design and emergency escape systems for astronauts. (Newswer)
Will we see a rise in branded scientific breakthroughs? What do you think?

Lennar reports surprise 1st-quarter profit
LOS ANGELES The spring home-selling season is off to a lackluster start, and a turnaround may not be in the cards until the second half of the year.
That's the main takeaway from Lennar Corp.'s latest quarterly results, which offered a glimpse into home sales trends in February, the official start of the traditional peak home-selling season.
Homebuilders hope to see improved sales this spring after a dismal 2010 that marked the fifth consecutive year that new home sales declined. But Lennar's results suggest the prospects for a strong seasonal lift in home sales may be slim.
The Miami-based builder said Tuesday that new home orders fell 12 percent in the December to February quarter and home deliveries dropped 3 percent.
The company surprised Wall Street by reporting a profit for the quarter, but the earnings came about as the builder cut homebuilding costs and other expenses. It also booked millions in revenue buying troubled loans and properties from banks.
Lennar's bottom line also got a boost from a $37.5 million lawsuit settlement and other special items.
Despite the profitable turn, the builder's homebuilding business continues to grapple with weak homebuyer demand.
"The long-awaited selling season of 2011 has not yet defined itself as the beginning of a recovery cycle," Lennar President and CEO Stuart Miller said.
It's still unclear whether home sales this spring will gain momentum or remain sluggish, Miller said. He noted that turnout by would-be homebuyers has been promising at times, raising hopes of a coming sales rally, but that traffic ultimately has not translated into robust sales.
"It has been more of the nature of a head fake and has lacked any substance that might define a clear upward trend," Miller said.
Homebuilders are a bellwether for the housing market and the economy. Each new home built creates, on average, the equivalent of three jobs for a year and generates about $90,000 in taxes paid to local and federal authorities, by some estimates.
New home sales tumbled in January and again last month, sliding to an annual rate of 250,000 - well short of the 700,000 homes sold annually that economists say is healthy.
While severe winter weather has likely hurt sales, many would-be homebuyers remain deterred by high unemployment, strict lending standards and concerns that home values could drop more.
In addition, Lennar and other builders face a tough slog eclipsing their sales numbers from last spring, when temporary federal tax credits helped coax reluctant buyers to purchase homes, lifting sales industry wide. Sales tanked in the summer and remained weak through most of the year.
Miller expects sales figures will improve in the second half of the year, when the industry's results will be measured against some of the lowest home sales figures in decades.
He also expressed confidence that the builder is well-positioned to remain profitable in 2011.
Lennar's results marked its fourth straight quarter of profitability.
The company said it earned $27.4 million, or 14 cents a share, for the period ended Feb. 28. That compares with a loss of $6.5 million, or 4 cents a share, a year ago.
Analysts surveyed by FactSet expected a loss of 5 cents per share.
Lennar cut costs and expenses for its homebuilding division to $447.8 million from $502 million during the period. Its selling, general and administrative expenses fell 7 percent.
The builder also recorded $29.5 million in income related to a $37.5 million settlement with a third party in a dispute between the builder and developer Nicolas Marsh III and his affiliates. And it recognized a $10 million, previously deferred management fee, among other one-time items.

This time last year, if someone had uttered the words Django Django, you'd be forgiven for assuming it was just the latest, hair-brained dance fad to kick seven shades of shit out of Zumba and all these other cock n' bull Latin American dance debacles. Fast forward to the present day, and if you haven't heard of the band Django Django, then where the hell have you been all year?
Django Django bounced into the music scene at the beginning of this year with their self-titled debut album, and since then have been nominated for more awards than their mantelpiece can withstand. But can the newbies cut it live? Well, Glasgow get to find out as they play the O2 ABC as part of their UK-wide tour.
The quartet's Edinburgh College of Art influence is evident from the outset – with strobe lights glistening through Venetian-inspired blinds on the stage and smiley face lights manifesting themselves through the slats. Yes, quirky they are.
First up is the aptly named 'Introduction' – close your eyes for a second and you're at a Native American Sun Dance in deepest South Dakota, with the sound of tribal drums, preying birds and dessert insects surrounding you. But then the electronica beats kick in and you're back at the O2 ABC.
'Introduction' simultaneously morphs into Django Django's latest single 'Hail Bop' which resembles some of The Beach Boys' greatest work, yet it still sounds unique in a way. It has a feel good, guitar strumming, cruising down the highway groove, with a synth sound throughout, giving it a kick ass modern feel.
Derry born signer Vincent Neff also provides the crowd with banter throughout – his confident yet humble persona could easily have his female fans eating out the palm of his hand. He doesn't scrub up that bad either. Vincent tells the audience that this gig is their biggest headline show to date, which sends everyone into an almighty frenzy.
A popular song of the night is 'Waveforms' which has a Stone Roses vibe through Vincent's vocals and also encompasses an ensemble of calypso drums, maracas and synths. They play an extended version and by looking around the room, we could have easily been transported Manchester's Hacienda in the 1990s, with everyone bouncing around not giving a fuck, and the strobe lights in full throttle.
'Default' is another firm favourite with everyone skipping around to the contagious guitar hook, and the uncanny sound of someone yodeling through a synth. 'Skies Over Cairo' has everyone back in the Hacienda mood, with an Egyptian influenced sound throughout, also with a sitar-style noise, glockenspiel and other woodwind instruments in full swing. Last song of the night is 'Silver Rays' which has a 'Pet Sounds' style vocal mixed up with electronica infusions.
Django Django provide a new and refreshing sound to the music scene, pulling together a mishmash of musical influences – and it seems to work effortlessly. Maybe there could be a Django Django dance club in the midst after all? Step aside Zumba…

Wild race blows championship open for Keselowski
AVONDALE, Ariz. When the fighting stopped, the oil had dried and the last of the wrecked cars had been towed away, Brad Keselowski found himself on the brink of a first Sprint Cup title for himself and team owner Roger Penske.
Only he wasn't in a celebratory mood.
He entered Sunday's race at Phoenix International Raceway trailing five-time champion Jimmie Johnson by seven points and had the better car all day. And moments after Keselowski raced his way into the lead, a blown tire caused Johnson to crash and take his battered car to the garage for repairs.
It helped Keselowski, who finished sixth, to a 20-point lead in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship heading into the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, where he'll clinch the title with a finish of 15th or better.
"I wanted to take the points lead by winning a race and not relying on a failure," Keselowski said.
Johnson's sudden misfortune was a dramatic and stunning turn in the most chaotic race of the year.
It proved to be just the warm-up act in a race that could go down as the one many fans will call the best of the season.
Probably for all the wrong reasons.
And that's what had Keselowski so upset.
"I'm more just disappointed in the quality of racing that we saw," he said. "I thought it was absolutely ridiculous, and I was ashamed to be a part of it."
Kevin Harvick snapped a 44-race losing streak by beating Kyle Busch on a pair of late restarts, the ironic winner on the same weekend news leaked he's reportedly signed a deal to leave Richard Childress Racing to drive for Stewart-Haas Racing in 2014.
"We have 2012, we have 2013, and regardless of what happens on a business side of things, Richard Childress and myself will always be friends, good or bad, and may agree to disagree," Harvick said, "but we still have a lot of racing left to do and we owe it to our sponsors and our company to go out and do exactly what we did today and be men and do the best we can for everybody."
Harvick and Busch crossed the finish line ahead of a melee of crashing cars, a chain reaction caused in part because NASCAR failed to throw a caution when Danica Patrick was spun on the restart. Then others slid in oil, into Patrick's wrecked car, bounced all over the track, and even Keselowski was hit.
"There was a lot of stuff on the race track, there was oil all over it. Ray Charles could see that," second-place finisher Denny Hamlin said.
Busch, who finished third, also saw the oil all over the track.
"Not sure if (NASCAR) had time to react to all that, but granted, you would expect that they would see all of that and see the oil slick," he said. "I mean, it wasn't small by any means. It was three feet wide."
But the carnage was simply the final exclamation point in a sequence triggered by four-time champion Jeff Gordon. He intentionally wrecked Clint Bowyer, and that led to a full brawl in the garage and a red-flag of nearly 15 minutes for clean up on the track.
Keselowski was tweeting during the delay from inside his car - a practice he first did during a jet fuel fire in the season-opening Daytona 500 - and NASCAR had officially reached three-ring circus status.
"The sport was made on fights. We should have more fights. I like fights," Harvick said after the race. "They're not always fun to be in, sometimes you're on the wrong end, but fights are what made NASCAR what it is."

C++ function pointer
View Single Post
Team Leader
You have not instantiated an object of type Test2. There is no requirement for the compiler to generate and locate its methods. I suspect that you are thinking that the static keyword will force that. The static keyword need only force the method of access WHEN the method is ultimately generated, if ever.
You might find some compiler (particularly an older one) that will generate and locate that method, despite the fact that the object doesn't exist. That would not be a robust implementation. Your very own code would result in an item whose use would result in undefined behavior.
I haven't read the standard with regard to whether or not a compliant compiler should issue a warning or error. If you get a NULL value and are a competent programmer, you will not attempt to dereference it, right?
You may, after all, write this statement, and compile without error:
void *myPtr = NULL;
Would you attempt to use that pointer?

Songkran 2015 in Phuket - April 13th – 15th
Songkran 2015 in PhuketWhat is this Songkran Festival everyone is talking about lately? If you choose to come to Phuket or Thailand in April, you'd better know what Songkran is about. Songkran is the Thai New Year, and it occurs when the sun moves position from Pisces to Aries. According to Thai calendar, we are already in year 2558! That's for the technical bits.
People living in Thailand will be divided in three groups: 'Wild Wet Fun' fans, 'Sulking Hermits' who will lock themselves indoors for three days having wisely stocked food, and 'Smart Dudes', well organized, who will make use of the very long week end to fly somewhere abroad and dry.
If you are of the first kind, you can join Songkran wet street parties from early morning. It starts rather gently in Phuket Town around 10am, turning to water dogfights in the afternoon in Patong, Kata and Karon, and ends in a hectic full scale wet war zone in Bangla Road until late at night.
Everybody will join the Songkran festivities, kids, teens mostly, but also adults and tourists, divided in two camps: the 'Strategically Ambushed' by the road side with plenty of water ammunition, and the 'Mobile Units' in the back of pick up trucks. Shops and supermarket make fortunes selling all kinds of colorful and humongous water guns. But the best weapon remains the good old plastic bowl and a big tank of icy cold water!
Cops doing traffic and security on the road are always the favourite targets for everyone, but they are used to this and keep a smile all day or even play along.
Some Tips for Songkran Day:

Loud rip cord rest problem
Ok, I've had a rip code on my on my bow for 1 1/2 years now and for some reason it's making a loud snapping noise when I shoot. I took it to a dealer and he agreed it was the rest and we paper tuned it and it was out. The rest wasn't falling fast enough and the vanes were hitting the rest. The dealer tore the rest apart and cleaned it and put on a longer string saying it would help it drop faster. We went back to paper tune it and it definetly shoots better but is still loud. He said the only fix was to put on a different rest. I put some thin foam padding on the riser to try and silence it but it's still loud and you can see the finger marking in the foam from the rest. Im shooting a 09 Hoyt katera witch is set at 64lb and 29" draw shooting 311fps. Any help would be great. I'm considering going to a qad hd because I heard there more tunable then the rip code and thinking that would help?

Defeat in Maine a harsh blow to gay-marriage drive
The stars seemed aligned for supporters of gay marriage. They had Maine's governor, legislative leaders and major newspapers on their side, plus a huge edge in campaign funding. So losing a landmark referendum was a devastating blow, for activists in Maine and nationwide.
In an election that had been billed for weeks as too close to call, Maine's often unpredictable voters repealed a state law Tuesday that would have allowed same-sex couples to wed. Gay marriage has now lost in all 31 states in which it has been put to a popular vote – a trend that the gay-rights movement had believed it could end in Maine.
"Today's heartbreaking defeat unfortunately shows that lies and fear can still win at the ballot box," said Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
With 87 percent of the precincts reporting, gay-marriage foes had 53 percent of the vote. They prevailed in many of Maine's far-flung small towns and lost by a less-than-expected margin in the state's biggest city, Portland.
"The institution of marriage has been preserved in Maine and across the nation," declared Frank Schubert, chief organizer for the winning side.
Attention will now turn to other states, including California – where Schubert was an instrumental strategist a year ago in the successful campaign to overturn cost-ordered same-sex marriage.
Gay-rights activists have been planning to go back to the ballot in California, either in 2010 or 2012, in another attempt to legalize gay marriage. But the Maine result was not the victory they had been hoping for to fire up their troops.
Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage, a conservative group that steered substantial funds to fight gay marriage in both California and Maine, was elated by Tuesday's result, saying it shows that "that even in a New England state, if the voters have a chance to have their say, they're going to protect and defend the commonsense definition of marriage."
At issue in the referendum was a law passed by Maine's Legislature last spring that would have allowed gays to wed. The law was put on hold after conservatives launched a petition drive to repeal it.
Five other states have legalized gay marriage – starting with Massachusetts in 2004, and followed by Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Iowa – but all did so through legislation or court rulings, not by popular vote. In contrast, constitutional amendments banning gay marriage have been approved in all 30 states where they have been on the ballot.
Brown said "out-of-touch legislators" are a principal reason same-sex marriage has taken hold in New England.
"What we're saying is give us a chance to take our message to the people and let the people decide," he said. He also suggested that the outcome in Maine will give pause to lawmakers in New York and New Jersey, where gay-marriage legislation is pending.
Richard Socarides, who was an adviser on gay-rights issues in the Clinton administration, said the loss in Maine should prompt gay-rights leaders to reconsider their state-by-state strategy on marriage and shift instead to lobbying for changes on the federal level that expand recognition of same-sex couples.
In Maine, gay-marriage supporters conceded early Wednesday.
"We're in this for the long haul," said Jesse Connolly, manager of the pro-gay marriage campaign. "For next week, and next month, and next year – until all Maine families are treated equally. Because in the end, this has always been about love and family and that will always be something worth fighting for.
A similar note was sounded by Democratic Gov. John Baldacci, who signed the bill into law last May and spoke out in defense of the law.

Sayedee to be hanged
[Bangla Daily Star] A Dhaka tribunal on Thursday handed death penalty to top Jamaat-e-Islami leader
Delwar Hossain Sayeedi
...Islamic orator and politician. He was a former Member of Parliament in the National Assembly of Bangladesh from 1996 to 2008, and is one of the most prominent leaders of the Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami...
for committing crimes against humanity during the 1971 Liberation War.
The 73-year-old Jamaat nayeb-e-ameer was handed down the penalty for eight wartime criminal offences as his party enforced a shutdown threatening anarchy across the country.
The three-member tribunal said eight out of 20 charges pressed against Sayedee were proved beyond doubt. Sayedee received death penalties in two cases—filed for the killing of Ibrahim Kutti and Bisha Bali.
Sayedee defiant
Disagreeing with the judgement vehemently, the convict stood up on the dock and blamed the judges for "not giving the verdict from the core of their heart".
The verdict came due to the excessive pressure from "some atheists of Shahbagh", he reacted.
Referring to the ongoing protests against the Jamaat butchers in Shahbagh Square...
Many present in the courtroom yelled at Sayedee to keep his mouth shut, calling him "promanito razakar", which means a proved collaborator.
At 2:23pm, the convict was taken out of the tribunal premises in a prison van and was taken to Dhaka Central Jail.
He'll appeal. If BNP isn't in power by then the appeal will be turned down. Then he'll ask for clemency. If BNP isn't in power by then it will be denied. Then they'll hang him. Whether BNP is in power or not he'll rot in hell.
