Chairman, Piloto Cigars Inc.
(continued from page 1)
Padrón: After the revolution and Fidel, there was a problem with the tobacco industry: they took it. In 1959, during the revolution, our farm totaled about 250 acres. That land got nationalized. One part was taken to raise geese.
CA: How did it happen; did someone knock on the door? The soldiers came, the police came, the mayor came? Who?
Padrón: I really don't know because by then I was already gone; but they took it. They left us with about five acres.
CA: When did you come to America?
Padrón: I left in 1961, but I was no longer in the Pinar del Río after the revolution because I was in Havana trying to leave Cuba.
CA: Did you have a problem getting out of Cuba?
Padrón: Yes, I actually had a lot of trouble but I was able to get out and go to Spain.
CA: What happened after that?
Padrón: I went from Cuba to Spain and then came to America, first to New York, where I ironed clothes for two months in a dry cleaner.
CA: And then you went to Miami. Why Miami?
Padrón: I hated the cold weather. [laughter]
CA: How did you get into the cigar business in Miami? When did the Padrón cigar actually begin?
Padrón: I started it in 1964 when I came to the U.S. I got the idea that I could make a cigar; although it would not be exactly like the Cuban cigar, it would be similar. I wanted to provide the smokers in Miami with cigars similar to what they were used to smoking. I began with 200 cigars a day with one roller.
CA: Is that the same place where you are now?
Padrón: No. I just had one roller.
CA: Isn't your Miami factory in Little Havana, near Ernesto Carillo's El Credito?
Padrón: Ernesto is on 8th Street and 11th and we are on Flagler, which is eight blocks north and four blocks west. But at first, I rented a space that cost me $62 per month; I rented it on March 29, 1964. I applied for the license to be able to manufacture cigars but I didn't have the money for the bond. I just didn't have the money--I had nothing.
CA: Were there many cigarmakers in Miami in those days?
Padrón: Just one--Camacho, I think. There may have already been one other brand, Primo del Rey, being made there.
CA: How did you decide what tobacco to use? Your experience was with Cuban tobacco, and of course it was unavailable.
Padrón: I tried blends with tobacco from Puerto Rico, Brazilian mata fina and Connecticut broadleaf. I ended up making a blend from those tobaccos and I also used some Cuban-seed tobacco from Honduras later on. I never made a green cigar with the double claro wrapper. I just started out with 200 cigars a day. Then it occurred to me to invent La Fuma.
CA: What was the tobacco you used in that cigar?
Padrón: It was all Connecticut broadleaf.
CA: One hundred percent broadleaf?
Padrón: One hundred percent, and you won't believe the price. The grower sold me 100 pounds at $70. That's 70 cents a pound.
CA: Did you have a shop where somebody could just walk in and buy cigars?
Padrón: I sold my first cigar six months after I rented the space because of the problems with my license. I began with what was called El Cazador. It had a rounded head with short-fill tobacco. At that time, one of my first clients wanted a big black cigar with the curly head like the ones you would be able to get in Cuba. So we called it a fuma. Normally, it's what a roller would take home with them at night. The cigars we made during the day, I would go out to sell at night.
CA: What was the retail price of the cigar?
Padrón: Thirty cents. [laughter]
CA: If you were a grower, how did you know how to roll cigars?
Padrón: The important thing about cigars isn't in the rolling of it, but in the processing of it and in the curing of the tobacco. Throughout the history of the cigar industry, rollers have never been able to establish and maintain factories. Even the best rollers, the stars if you will, have failed when they tried to start factories. The important thing is to know how to make a good blend and cure the tobacco well.
CA: When and why did you shift from Connecticut broadleaf to the other tobacco that you started using?
Padrón: I could no longer find what I needed to supply the Cuban market in Miami. It's not that there wasn't enough broadleaf, seeing how no one really consumed broadleaf in the United States. But I really did put it through a lengthy process of curing it, and inventory was pretty tight. In 1967 a gentleman came looking for me, sent to Miami from Nicaragua by his boss to show me some samples, so that I could see the tobacco that they were growing. They wanted my opinion. They told me that someone had told them that their tobacco was no good. They were on their way to Europe to try to sell it. I told them that in Europe they weren't going to be able to sell this. I told them that when they returned they should come and see me, and I would go to Nicaragua to inspect the tobacco and the fields. I noticed immediately that the quality of the tobacco was very good. That's why I agreed to go there to see the farms. They took me to a place called Jalapa, in Nicaragua. That was before any foreigners were there in the tobacco industry. They had harvested some tobacco but not much, and they didn't have buyers for that. They didn't know what they were doing.
CA: You obviously liked what you saw.
Padrón: Oh, absolutely.

I had my nose done in August of last year I still feel my bridge is a little to wide and my profile is still boxy is it too soon to consider revision?
10 Months Post Rhinoplasty: Nose is Still Too Large
Doctor Answers 10
Revision Rhinoplasty is Sometimes the Best Answer
You are very wise to ask this question. The timing for a revision rhinoplasty is critical. Decisions can start to be made at around 9 months and the surgery performed at around 12 months. It is important for the surgeon you choose to perform your revision to unerstand this and see you now to analyze the anatomical problems properly. At this point many of the issues you raised will not be corrected by waiting more. You have waited long enough. All the concerns you have should be able to be corrected naturally and effectively if you choose an experienced surgeon that is adept and confident with revisions, grafting techniques, etc.
Good luck. Please make sure you always choose a board certified rhinoplasty specialist, whether the training backgorund is ENT or Plastic Surgery, he/she should have plenty of pictures to show you. If that surgeon has served as a speaker and published in numerous textbooks and journals on rhinoplasty topics, then you are most likely safe. After that you have to go with your gut feeling and instincts on whether your new surgeon can do the job and has the proper aesthetic eye that matches yours!

Best to wait a year before a revision
Revision rhinoplasty
Considering revision rhinoplasty is a difficult decision. If you are unhappy with the appearance of your nose at 10 months, this may be an option to entertain. Unless you have extremely thick skin, the majority of your nasal swelling should have settled down. If your expectations for revision are reasonable and the surgeon feels he can make an improvement, it may be wise to seek a consultation now.

Timing for revision rhinoplasty
Generally speaking, one year is the time to consider a revision of a rhinoplasty, but 10 months is certainly reasonable. At this point, most of the swelling and skin shrinkage has resolved. Discuss your specific needs in detail with your plastic surgeon prior to surgery. If available, 3D imaging can also be helpful in communicating your needs as well.
Best wishes,

Too wide
At 10 months it would be ok to get an opinion. Be sure to bring some pre surgery photos of your self so that an objective evaluation of your result and realistic recommendation of improvement can be made.

Nose too Wide and Tip too boxy 10 months after rhinoplasty
At 10 months post - op if you're not seeing the results you wanted or thought you should have then its OK to consider a revision. If all the swelling has subsided, which it should have, then go ahead and seek another consult.

Nose too wide after surgery
You may be well enough along the healing curve that a second opinion would be woth while. Good pictures would be helpful to determine if repeate osteotomies and further tip refinement would help afer a little more time has passed
Revision Rhinoplasty
10-12 months is usually adequate for healing in noses with thin skin. It sounds as though you do have thick nasal skin and it will takes somewhat longer for the swelling to subsides.
Is 10 months after initial Rhinoplasty to soon for Revision Rhinoplasty
I have performed Rhinoplasty and revision Rhinoplasty for over 20 years and IMHO, No, anytime after 6 months you should be able to undergo a Revision Rhinoplasty...in most cases You should have a few consultations with qualified Rhinoplasty surgeons with good reputations.

Since making my lifelong desire to write fiction known within my professional and social circles, I have come face to face with the quizzical expressions and misconceptions I encountered as a child who lived primarily in an imaginary world.
While undoubtedly supportive and well-meaning, many friends are simply unable to conceal their lack of understanding for a "hobby" that requires solitude and a "sacrifice" of social interaction. They applaud my weekend efforts at my computer (the Bakhtinian analyses of "The Picture of Dorian Gray," the works of Virginia Woolf, and Gertrude Stein's "Ida" notwithstanding), acknowledging the virtue of, say, an MFA thesis or a novel chapter, but can't resist urging me to "not forget to make time for myself and have fun now and then."
Don't they see I'm having the time of my life?
I suppose I can appreciate their puzzlement. In today's hyper-social society, activities done alone are generally considered to be inferior to activities shared with others. For every customarily unaccompanied occupation, a club or online meet-up group is now available to take the ostensible sting of isolation out of it.
To opt deliberately for tedious activities done in seclusion, such as reading novels and writing, in lieu of more interactive and invigorating pastimes often prompts questions of physical or mental well-being or, more awkwardly, elicits unwarranted sympathy. Besides, creative writing is an enterprise of the right cerebral hemisphere, and I have a left brain job. Or so I thought.
Over time, as my colleagues began to learn what I was doing when I wasn't analyzing financial statements and operating the real estate, a few divulged (with, I'm certain I detected, a measure of wistfulness) that they, too, had dabbled in the literary or visual arts in a prior life, revealing an unobtrusive community of hemispheric fissure straddlers – former and would-be authors, poets, painters, and other creative thinkers making their mark in a distinctly analytic arena.
Most of us probably still have the proof of a dormant poetic self – musty journals in boxes in the garage, old files of yellowed paper scraps and cocktail napkins on which bits of prose and poetry are scrawled, references to particularly resonant passages in the margins of "Great Expectations" and "Wuthering Heights."
Upon learning the secret identities of the accountant-sculptor, lawyer-philosopher, and engineer-memoirist, I was exhilarated by the proximity of this dichotomous kindred. There was neither bemusement nor pity from these individuals; they understood the need to retreat to a quiet space to create, alone.
As we talked, I saw a light flicker in their eyes, a memory, perhaps, of what used to stir their soul before the chaos of modern life consumed them. I wouldn't be surprised if they had returned home that night and started digging for the evidence of their own writer within.
At least, I imagine they did.
And if after reading this you go digging, too, write and let me know.

Unforgivable means you won't be forgiven no matter what you do. If you ask for forgiveness, and recieve it, how is it unforgivable?
The only thing you can do that will seal your fate into hell, is to not believe Jesus is the Son of God, and that he died for our sins.
If you are Christian, all sins are washed away. Believing is the key part though.
There is no unforgivable sin for a Christian. There is an unforgivable sin, in a nonbeliever, and that is not believing.
"Speaking against the Holy Sprit" is saying that you deny that Jesus was the Son of Christ, and that he died for our sins.
Hicks and Will got my point. Mourning missed it entirely.
If "We we're just wired that way" is a proper argument for gays then it's a proper argument (and excuse) for just about anything. That cannot be right, therefore the discussion needs framed differently.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.

It still goes back to the original post. No one is saying that just because he is gay, he's thrown into hell for the rest of eternity, no matter what he does.
His sin carries just as much weight as the rest of them, and he still has the New Covenant available to him, if he already hasn't taken part.
and I have read interpretations of thos lines about "put to death" and such as meaning losing your eternal soul. Condemnation to Hell if you will.
I'm paraphrasing the quote that says... "Cast not thy seed upon the ground nor in the belly of a whore." as meaning no masturbation, no fornication. Why not? Again it is putting your desires above those of God.
Ever notice how friendly folks are at a shootin' range??.
"And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."
The holy spirit is a connection between God and us and to permanently deny the graces or God himself acting through the HS cannot be forgiven because you are rejecting the forgiveness. The best I heard as a test was if you are asking yourself if you are rejecting the Holy Spirit, then chances are really good that you are not.

Where does it say he will be turned away from Heaven?
The most famous Bible passage says the exact opposite of what you're saying.
So do you willingly sin or not?
"31And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. 32Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."
Matthew 12:31-32 NIVMatthew 12:31-32 NIV
I don't disagree as what you pointed out is the foundation for Christian salvation however there are verses that certainly point out that you there is not an assurance of salvation.
Consider Romans 11:22
Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off.
Or 2 Peter 2:20-21
If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.
Hebrews 10:26-29
If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
Matt. 7:21
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
I can go on and on. The point is, if all we have to do is "accept Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior", then that final judgement that we keep hearing about is trivial at best.
Edit Signature
That pretty much sums it up for everyone trying to obey God.
I spoke before about the Israelites agreeing to be God's nation or people. The laws they were given, the bible explains, was a tutor leading to Christ.
What's that mean?
It means they has exact rules/laws laid out in front of them. They didn't have any doubts about what was right or wrong, still they couldn't keep them because they, the Israelites, were imperfect, having inherited that imperfection from Adam.
Adam, before he sinned was a perfect man, no children were born to Adam and Eve before they sinned, thus mankind needed a redeemer or someone to ransom them. That, the bible explains took a corresponding sacrifice. That's why Christ Jesus had to die. It took another perfect man to ransom mankind from sin and death. He gave up his life so that we might live.
Thus God provided a set of rules and laws for mankind that none, (but one) could keep. Thus those laws were a tutor leading to Christ.
Thus Christ Jesus died so that Adam's offspring can have a chance at what Adam lost for us. The chance for everlasting life.
According to Brian Flemming -
"Jesus was a great guy! He'd forgive you for anything. Lying, murder, Internet pornography, anything. He'd even forgive you for speaking against Jesus himself. But apparently just to make things interesting, Jesus did add one extra rule to the mix. There actually is one unforgivable sin: denial of the Holy Spirit. If you do that, you are eternally damned. It says so right there in the Bible, twice. It's a doubly infallible rule. Deny the Holy Spirit and you can never, ever, go anywhere but Hell. And as luck would have it, the Holy Spirit is the easiest thing in the entire Doctrine to doubt. God is out of your reach, Jesus was two thousand years ago, but the Holy Spirit is with you, right here, right now, so you'd better really actually feel the Holy Spirit. You can't deny it in your thoughts, because Jesus is *in* your thoughts. And if your mind starts to wander to the fact that there's no more evidence for this Holy Spirit than there is for the existence of unicorns? Guess what you may have done. The greatest crime in fundamentalist Christianity is to think. And when I was a Village Christian, I was terrified that I'd accidentally done this."
"Ever wonder what it's like to wonder what it's like to wonder, they get up out of bed but can't awaken from their slumber, they know what they've been told by those who know what they've been told, you see this hand me down knowledge generated ages ago, and I know what they've been told because I've been told the same thing, I had to broaden my horizons to expand on greater things..." Many Styles
Someone who is gay and engaging in intimate relations with a person of the same sex can hardly be a person who is repentant. He or she won't be forgiven unless they give up their lifestyle and repent.
Once you get to the base assumption that being gay is a sin anyway. The Bible doesn't leave much doubt of that. Neither does most of Christianity.
The question then becomes, is being gay a level of sinful behavior which God would send someone to hell for?
The poster formerly known as Rimfire
God's forgiveness and grace is never-ending and is boundless. God forgives sin - it is washed away - he doesn't keep a record of it - it is forgotten. If someone truly accepts Jesus as their personal lord and savior, believes Jesus is God. Technically once a person does that with all their heart - and God will know if it is sincere - that person is guaranteed eternal life in heaven. I don't care if they kill ten people - I don't care what they do - heaven is guarenteed.
Not according to Catholics as well as various other versions of Christianity.
Dogma is wonderful thing.
The poster formerly known as Rimfire
I realize that, I'm only speaking for what I believe.
i once heard a Christian teacher give his idea of the "unforgivable sin". he felt that "the blasphemy of the holy spirit" was when a person is struggling with sin in his/her life (all of us), and that person can feel God working on their heart and wanting them to change, but that person continually blows off those feelings of guilt knowing that they need to change. and thats where sin becomes unforgivable, when God/His Holy Spirit (however you want to put it) is pushed away continually. kinda like God was doing His part but that person wouldn't meet Him halfway, so to speak. i can't explain it as well as the teacher did.
LAS VEGAS, NV, Feb. 13, 2007 - Comets forward Sheryl Swoopes has been keeping a low profile this offseason, choosing not to travel overseas to play and give her body a rest. Of course, she is taking a break from resting and getting involved in as many activities as she can here in Las Vegas. WNBA.com editor emeritus Matt Wurst caught up with Swoopes at the YMCA of Southern Nevada where she joined WNBA great Jennifer Azzi and former NBA stars Jerome Williams and Tim Hardaway to launch the new NBA Fit launch.
So Timmy was hanging with Sheryl the day before he announced his hatred for gay people. Interesting.

*** it-2 pp. 1023-1024 Spirit ***
Gaining and retaining God?s spirit. Gaining and retaining Gods spirit. The holy spirit is Gods free gift, which he gladly grants to those who sincerely seek and request it. (Ac 2:38; Lu 11:9-13) A right heart is the key factor (Ac 15:8), but knowledge and conformity to Gods requirements are also essential factors. (Compare Ac 5:32; 19:2-6.) Once received, the Christian should not grieve Gods spirit by disregarding it (Eph 4:30; compare Isa 63:10), taking a course contrary to its leading, fixing the heart on goals other than that to which it points and impels, rejecting the inspired Word of God and its counsel and application to oneself. (Ac 7:51-53; 1Th 4:8; compare Isa 30:1, 2.) By hypocrisy one can play false to that holy spirit by which Christ directs the congregation, and those who make a test of its power in this way follow a disastrous course. (Ac 5:1-11; contrast Ro 9:1.) Deliberate opposition to and rebellion against the evident manifestation of Gods spirit can mean blasphemy against that spirit, a sin that is unforgivable.Mt 12:31, 32; Mr 3:29, 30; compare Heb 10:26-31.
I probably have a hundred books on religion as well as about 11 English translations of the bible. I also have a lot of stuff on disks. The above is taken from one of the disks and I think clarify's what blasphemy against the spirit is.
Note you have to ask for it, and you have to be sincere. Then when it is granted to you, and note you have to be doing God's will for it to be granted to you, then you have to deliberately go against it when you KNOW it's operating though you.
Thus it's not everyone that has a chance to even sin against the spirit.
That's the belief, Once saved always saved, that a lot of people believe.

Once Saved, Always SavedHow Certain?
THE Son of Sam killer terrorized New York city residents for more than a year, killing six random victims and wounding several others. Yet the person accused of the crime reportedly had been saved at a church meeting about four years before his reign of terror began.
A former army friend of the suspect who had invited him to the church meeting relates that the new convert came up to me grinning and laughing and saying, Man, Im saved. Then we came back that same day for the evening service and he went forward again at the invitation [to accept Christ]. He told me afterward that he just wanted to make sure it [being saved] took.
Upon hearing the charges against this former member of her church, another member told the Associated Press: Im just thankful he was saved. Why? She declared: The Bible says, once saved, always saved.New York Post, August 25, 1977, p. 2.
Does the Bible actually say, Once saved, always saved? No, it does not use those words in any specific text, but many sincere people believe that this is what the Bible teaches. And it is true that a number of Bible texts indicate that the basis for salvation is not ones works, but, rather, faith in Jesus Christ, together with Gods grace and mercy. (Eph. 2:8, 9; 2 Tim. 1:9; Titus 3:4, 5) Additionally, Jesus himself said that he that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life.John 3:36, Authorized Version (AV); 1 John 5:13.
From such references it is often reasoned that if one has everlasting life, he actually possesses it permanently; it cannot be lost, or, as many would have it: Once saved, always saved. However, does this understanding fully express the Scriptural view of gaining everlasting life?
Well, Christians concerned about their salvation may also wish to consider Jesus declaration that he that endureth to the end shall be saved. (Matt. 10:22; 24:12, 13; Mark 13:13, AV) And the apostle Paul comments similarly: For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end.Heb. 3:14, AV.
How are we to reconcile these seeming disparities? Surely these servants of God were not contradicting themselves. Rather, were they not merely expressing the same understanding from different viewpoints? The apostle Paul provides the key to harmonizing these viewpoints.
Time and again Paul likens the Christians course to a race that must be run to the finish. Let us run with patience the race that is set before us, he urged the Hebrews. (12:1, AV) To enter the race, sinners must take the steps necessary for salvation: hearing and accepting the Word of God, believing in Jesus Christ and his ransom sacrifice, repenting of their sins and being baptized. In this way, they get saved from this crooked generation, as Peter exhorted those gathered at Pentecost. Unbelievers are outside the race, having failed to enter by getting saved.Acts 2:37-40, Revised Standard Version (RSV); 16:31-33; Rom. 10:13, 14.
Once entered in the race by being saved, a Christian takes hold of the life which is life indeed. But is it possible to lose that grip on life? Paul answers with this question: Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but only one receives the prize? In the Christian race, Paul indicates the one who receives the prize is anyone who finishes the race. Therefore, Paul urges, So run that you may obtain it. Then, using himself as an example to make the point of his illustration, he continues: I pommel my body and subdue it, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.1 Tim. 6:19; 1 Cor. 9:24-27, RSV.
Evidently the apostle, who surely was a saved Christian, believed that even he could be disqualified from the race. Yet as long as he continued to run that he might obtain the prize, thus remaining in the race, salvation was assured. This is why Christians who remain in the race can be said to have everlasting life. But if they should ever quit the race, they are disqualified, losing their hold on everlasting life.
Hence, Paul follows up his remarks on the Christians race by cautioning about the danger of overconfidence. Using the example of the Israelites who were saved through the Red Sea, yet fell to wrongdoing in the wilderness, he warned: We [saved Christians] must not put the Lord to the test. Then, driving his point home, he declared: Let any one who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. Yes, it could happen, even to saved ones!1 Cor. 10:1-12, RSV.
This is why, throughout his writings, Paul consistently emphasized his own need to stay in the race. For example, of his hoped-for reward of the resurrection, he said: I do not consider that I have made it my own; but one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. It was only after Paul neared the end of his life that he wrote: I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. At this point in his life, he could finally say with confidence: Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award me on that Day.Phil. 3:11-14; 2 Tim. 4:6-8, RSV.
Pauls view of his own salvation, then, is consistent with Jesus comments mentioned earlier about enduring to the end to be saved.See also Revelation 2:10; 3:11, 12, AV.
The foregoing helps us to see why Paul repeatedly entreated saved Christians to be on guard. Their everlasting salvation was still at stake. Addressing the obviously saved Hebrew Christians who had been illuminated and who had endured a great fight of afflictions, he warns: If we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins. The sacrificial benefits that saved such persons, then, can be lost. Why? Because such a person hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto [outraged, RSV] the Spirit of grace.Heb. 10:26-32, AV.
Yes, Christians who truly appreciate the salvation provided through Christ and Gods grace will not be overconfident. They will strive to remain in the race like Paul and the other early Christians, whom he encouraged to work out [their] own salvation with fear and trembling.Phil. 2:12, AV.

Louis Malle
Film runs Sunday, May 19, 2013 - Friday, May 24, 2013
Lancaster, in his last great performance and one of the best of his career, plays Lou, an aging mob foot soldier in the once bustling and now sleepy gambling mecca, who can't help peering across the way at his beautiful neighbor (Susan Sarandon) when she bathes at her sink. When Sally's weaselly ex-husband puts her in jeopardy, Lou comes out of retirement and becomes the hard guy he always wanted to be. Beautifully directed by Louis Malle and just as beautifully written by playwright John Guare.

Hi John,
Thanks for adding this route. It would be nice if you could add some additional info, i.e. stating that the route is on Power Dome is not sufficient information to find the climb. It kinda sounds like you don't have any info because you didn't do the route. In general (though not always), it is best to have actually climbed the route before posting it. That way, you can include details about finding the route, descending the route, protection, etc.

|First climb and first new route of many I did with Herb Laeger. We put up dozens of climbs all over the Sierras after doing this climb. We swapped leads hand drilling the few bolts we put in. I remember that my new fires were so tight I lead the last pitch standing on my heels and that is another reason there are so few bolts. I just wanted the hell my feet felt to end. I will try to add more later, but now I need to get changed so I can take mom out for breakfast.

|"The route climbs the dome between the two most prominent water streaks." That is what I wrote in my notes. My topo shows it starting between the two center most water stains on a ledge just above a left angling roof with the first pitch having 3 bolts and ending under a roof with a two bolt belay. 2)follow holds right then back left to short right facing corner then a little left and up to a roof with another right facing corner past a bolt, then up to a one bolt belay above a dike. 3)Wander around until you can work back left to another short right facing corner then belay at a right facing corner with a single bolt. Pretty much straight up from here. Must not be too hard as there are no bolts. Herb lead 1 and 3 and I lead 2 and 4. Hope this helps.

An Illness called Managua
Working Paper No : 37 (series 2)
Author : Dennis Rodgers
Date : May 2008
This paper focuses on Managua's urban development in order to explore the underlying dynamics of post-revolutionary Nicaraguan society, using the city's evolution as a window onto the evolution of the country's political economy, but also highlighting its role as a major contributing factor shaping the specific transformations that this particular political economy has undergone. It begins by providing a view from barrio Luis Fanor Hernandez, a low-income neighbourhood in the city which graphically encapsulates the general movement of Nicaraguan society from a sense of revolution-fuelled collective purpose in the 1970s and 1980s to more individualised and segregated socio-spatial practices in the 1990s and 2000s. The paper then moves on to consider Managua's development more broadly in order to seek further insights into the underlying nature of this particular trajectory. The changing morphology of the city, its determinants, and the key actors involved, all point to salient elements to be taken into account in order to attain a more nuanced comprehension of the logic of post-revolutionary Nicaragua, which is then explored in a third section. What emerges starkly from this threefold panorama is that while the particular urban development of Managua can be seen as a reflection of the persistent oligarchic structure of Nicaraguan society, it is also a major pathological factor - an 'illness', one might say - that contributes to the perpetuation of this oligarchic configuration, albeit in a renewed form.

Obama-GOP Cliff Talks Take Positive Turn
Source: Wall Street Journal
WASHINGTONBudget negotiations between the White House and Republican House Speaker John Boehner have progressed steadily in recent days, people close to the process said, breathing life into talks that appeared to have stalled.
Both sides still face sizable differences before any agreement might be reached by the end of the year, and talks could well falter again over such controversial issues as taxes and Medicare before any deal is reached.
The people familiar with the matter say talks have taken a marked shift in recent days as staff and leaders have consulted, becoming more "serious." Both sides have agreed to keep details private, according to the people, who declined to detail where new ground was being broken.

This sounds significant to me. I suspect Boener has given in on taxes and now the negotiations are on how much entitlements and spending will be cut.

13. No, I don't know my Social Security and Medicare will be cut.
Nor should it, because it in NO WAY affects the deficit. If you did away with Social Security and Medicare today, the federal budget deficit would still be the same. It would not change a nickle.
If Democrats allow Social Security and Medicare to be cut, they will again go back to losing election after election. We did not vote Obama back in just to cut programs we have already paid for.

17. So, how far back are they going to cut?
The people who have paid in for 37 years? The ones who have paid in for 35 years? The ones who have paid in for 30 years? the ones who have paid in for 25 years? How about those who have paid in for 20 years? And none of those people who have been paying for their own and their parent's Social Security and Medicare have added to the deficit. Not a single one.
So why cut any? The uber rich already don't pay in as much as workers do in Social Security taxes. They got their Social Security tax cut with Raygun. So, what are all those rich bast**ds complaining about? It's no skin off their noses if we get what we paid into. And it doesn't add to the deficit. So why cut at all?
It's just one big fat scam so Wall Street can get their hands on the $2 Trillion plus in Social Security money that is waiting for the Baby Boomer's retirement. Greedy rich bast**ds like Pete Peterson who can't stand that the working class might actually get something they paid for.

I thought the consensus before the election was that we would try to pull Obama AWAY from the Repukes. Now the DINOs are cheering his cave-in before it even happens. Absolutely unbelievable

2. The Murdock journal is a bunch of right-wing lies
should not be allowed in LBN.
if your opinion, that the president is going to agree to Medicare/SS cuts, is true, he can kiss my pasty white ass good-bye. It's only been 34 days since he kicked Willard's ass. If he's already giving things to Boner there is no hope for any progressive legislation of substance over the next 4 years.

4. Well,
I say use your head when you are dealing with snakes. The Wall Street Journal is known to be pushing the Republican Agenda against Social Security,Medicare and Medicaid. Their editorial board wrote an article, advising the Republicans not to give in to President Obama.
Consider this, the Republicans and their allies don't want to publicly put their spending cuts in writing but wanted a meeting with President Obama behind close doors. This was supposed to be kept secret between both sides. Well, you see a snake in action because guess what, the Wall Street Journal has information which points to Boehner. The Wall Street Journal either knows something or using that meeting, to spit out their propaganda for political advantage to the public. I consider that a break of the agreement and now Presidfent Obama doesn't have to abide to the promise that he gave Boehner. If the circumstances are true, then you don't have to keep your word to a snake.

'Fiscal Cliff': No One Retreating; Talks Seem At Standstill
Source: Associated Press
Updated: Dec 10, 2012 5:33 PM EST
By DAVID ESPO
WASHINGTON (AP) - A year-end deadline approaching, negotiations to avoid an economy-rattling "fiscal cliff" appeared at a standstill Monday. Republicans pressed President Barack Obama to name specific spending cuts he will support, while the White House insisted the GOP agree explicitly to raise tax rates on upper incomes.

9. I think most would agree..
avoiding sequestration and a agreement on extending tax cuts to the middle class would be a "positive" development.

10. Just keep this in mind,
the Democrats are not stupid. We can add. The senate has over 51 senators in favor of the Democrats. Next Congress, the number is 55. The next Congress in the House, the number will be 201. Just how many Democrats in Congress can President Obama get to raise age limits? They must think President Obama is all there is behind the Dems and they must think the Democrats have no constituents. Do the Republicans really believe the Democrats will commit suicide? They are really dealing with the people elected Obama to office. And the Deal is do as we say or else! So if the Republicans want to deal, then talk to us!

Barrel heating: the Tikka surprise

Picher, every barrel gets longer and thicker when it heats up. So does any other round bar made of steel.
The reason why most factory barrels "warp" when they're hot is they're not fit to receivers whose face is squared up with the barrel tenon threads. When the barrel and receiver expands from heat, more pressure's applied at the hard contact point and that makes the barrel bend in that axis.
I've had three factory barrels that changed point of impact when they heated up but quit after some 'smithing. The receiver face was squared off and set back about .005" then a .005" thick shim washer was put between the barrel and receiver so it would clock in correctly for the extractor to fit the cutout in it. No more walking shot impact as the barrel heated up. Any competant 'smith can do this to most factory bolt action rifles.
Arsenals testing 30 caliber and 7.62 match ammo shoot a couple hundred shots per group; each about 20 to 30 seconds apart. Those test barrels get very hot yet still shoot good lots of ammo into 1 MOA at 600 yards; would be under 1/3 MOA at 100 yards.

The first clock in the picture is my my favorite. All I know is that it is signed by A. Moreau and the clock face has Joseph Duret/Verdun written on it. My mother gave it to me 6 years ago. She said that she purchased in Paris about 30 years ago. The other two are German, and purchased about the same time. I know very little about them.

POLICE are appealing for witnesses after a van crashed into a fence in Selsey.
Officers were called to Beach Road at 8.45am on Wednesday (January 29) after a white Vauxhall Astra van hit the side fence of a home.
A 45-year-old man from Selsey was taken to St Richard's Hospital in Chichester as a precaution suffering from chest pain.
PC Andy Green said: "I'm keen to speak to anyone who saw the crash or who saw the Vauxhall being driven in the minutes beforehand.
"If you know anything at all please contact us."
Anyone with information should call 101 quoting reference 206 of 29/01.
