I was going to write this all out. Spit articulate on the birth and the beast of Justin Bieber's celebrity, his place in the annals of youthfame, how he stacks up against its storied casualties and its few but phenomenal survivors. As Justin (b. 3/1/94) approaches 18—exiting the protective bubble of adolescence and entering the first chapter of adulthood—can he transition into an artist for everyone rather than a teen phenom? What are the dangers of being Bieber? Decisions are now more his own than they've ever been, and as a target his attacks broaden from G-rated darts (agro tween tweets; wardrobe judgments; girlfriend problems) to all-bets-are-off bullets. The recent press explosion surrounding the baseless accusations of illicit babymaking weren't so much about did-he-or-didn't-he? but rather a global excitement that Bieber can now be subjected to such tabloid see-what-sticks shit-tossing.
I was going to write it all out, because I assumed I'd have to— that none of it would come from the teenager himself. We first met several months back at the photo shoot, where I held strong to my preconceived (and incorrect) notion that he's probably a brat, a punk kid overfed on the perception of a world obsessed with him. Like many, I didn't give him a chance, and I didn't like him before I knew him at all. I'm his perfect demographic of disapproval: an adult man, the exact audience that Bieber will have to win over as he becomes a man himself.
The second time I met Justin Bieber, I watched him get punched in the face. We sat on a couch in his hotel room days before his second studio album, the Christmas themed Under the Mistletoe, debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, right in the middle of the highly publicized paternity scandal, the day before he went on an extensive press tour abroad. Justin walked in the room wearing a trapper hat that swallowed his head, looking genuinely exhausted with a pimple on the side of his mouth but every bit the handsome kid who defines for girls around the world their notion of love. This Bieber was insightful, self-aware, and prescient. He was totally unguarded, earnest, and real. I quickly stopped interviewing him and we just talked. I felt like I was hearing out the issues of a little brother, a descriptor I'd heard countless people close to him use in the 2011 concert film Never Say Never, a documentary-shaped strike against haters who write him off as another talentless pop-machine-robot, showing the journey of a hardworking, near-prodigy precocious kid, a born star.
I'm not writing this all out because I don't have to. Apparently the first sign of Justin Bieber being an adult is that no one has to speak for him. He knows exactly who he is, where he's at, and what he wants. You don't need to hear it from me because you can just hear it from him. After our talk, Bieber showed me a video on his phone of him and his friends boxing. More precisely, of him beating the shit out of one of his bigger friends. Justin Bieber's a fighting man—fearless, graceful, ferocious—and that's a pretty good place to start. I left our talk with plans to hang out when he returns to the city, without a doubt in my mind that he's going to be just fine.
ELLIOT DAVID How you doing?
JUSTIN BIEBER Doing tired, man.
ED You've only been in town for a couple of days?
JB Just yesterday. I got in the night before.
ED That's rough.
JB It's rough, but that's what we do.
ED How often do you go back to Canada?
JB Hardly ever. I'm going to go back and see my family during Thanksgiving. But other than that, I don't really go back.
ED I read once that you try to take off one to two days a week. Does that still happen?
JB I try to take one now. When I'm releasing an album, I don't really get time off because I've got to work to promote the album. But other than that, I try to take one to two days off a week, yeah.
ED And then what do you do?
JB I just hang out with my friends, go to the movies. In L.A., I go to Jaden [Smith]'s all the time.
ED Taylor Lautner once told me he doesn't really go out much due to the rabid fandom, how it snowballs from one person recognizing him and quickly escalates to a really bad situation. You say you're going out, but are you ever concerned you're going to get bombarded or, basically, attacked?
JB Not really. I don't really feel that. I just kind of do whatever.
ED That sounds healthy, albeit dangerous. Let's rewind to how you got to this place. You went from obscurity to selling out Madison Square Garden in, what, two years?
JB Yeah. I went to watch Taylor Swift perform at the Garden with [longtime manager] Scooter [Braun], and everyone was waving their arms back and forth—she was getting everyone to do it. I said, I want to be here and make everyone wave their arms back and forth. And Scooter was like, someday. And two years later I sold it out in twenty-two minutes [making him the youngest performer ever to sell out the venue].
ED So you set that goal and then you hit it, and now you can't really get any more successful. Under the Mistletoe is about to come out, and let's say it becomes number one [which it debuted as on the Billboard 200, days after this interview; it's Bieber's third number-one record after My World 2.0 and Never Say Never: The Remixes]. And your next record will be coming out soon, and let's say that's number one. Is this the new goal? What happens in the next three years?
JB There are different goals. Like overseas, in London, I played at the O2 arena. I hope to set the record for the most sold-out performances in a single tour.
ED But what does that mean to you? Just a goal to have?
JB My goal at the end of the day—right now—I want to be successful and be great at what I do. But eventually, I want to become the best at what I do. I want to be the best. In the world. I want to be better than anybody that's ever done it. And in order to do that, I need to strive to be the best, be good to people and treat people with respect, and work as hard as I can. Because for me, I work so hard and this consumes my life, and it's not worth it if I'm not the best.
ED So who's the best now?
JB Right now? I mean, I consider Michael Jackson the best. If I could be at his level... But I've got a lot of work to do. I'm not saying it's going to happen within the next three years. But hopefully by the time I'm 30, people will remember me. I think people will remember me at this point, but I don't want people to just think of me as a teen sensation. Because I could probably just sell out, and then in two years not put out another album, and just become Justin Bieber the teen superstar. But I don't want to be that. I want to transition, and become the greatest.
ED That's something I want to ask you about: transitions. You're going to be 18 in March. It's a big benchmark from childhood to adulthood. Do you feel like you have to play the role of a kid still?
JB Here's the thing: I think that I don't need to try to do anything. There are people who try to grow up too fast—they're 18, so they're like, I'm not a kid anymore. People need to know I'm not a kid anymore. But at the end of the day, I'm not completely grown-up. I'm still learning. I'm going to grow up how I grow up. I'm not going to try to conform to what people want me to be or go out there and start partying, have people see me with alcohol. I want to do it at my own pace. But I'm never going to make myself so the kids and the parents don't respect me. There're some artists that [parents won't] let their kids go and see because they think they're a bad influence. I want to be able to do what Michael did—he always sang clean lyrics—and it was always that little kids loved Michael and grandparents loved Michael. I don't want to start singing about things like sex, drugs, and swearing. I'm into love, and maybe I'll get more into making love when I'm older. But I want to be someone who is respected by everybody. Because right now, the young people are who make society. Young people determine what's cool. Young people determine what's going to be in style. So I always stick with the young people, that's what I say.
ED You know, Michael kind of went crazy. A lot of people go crazy. Is that something you think or worry about?
JB Michael had a really bad childhood. I was blessed with a great childhood. My mom loved me. My dad loved me. I'm now a teenager and I don't feel like I've missed out on anything in my life. I've gotten to experience everything I possibly could. I don't look back and think, Ugh, I wish I would have been able to do that. Maybe [Michael] missed out on a lot, so he tried to [re-live] his childhood when he was older. But I've got such good people around me, I'm not worried.
ED You're talking about keeping clean and making music for everybody, but a lot of the artists you look up to, like Lil Wayne, Kanye—a lot of what those guys rap about is drugs, sex, and money. So what is it that you like so much about them? Is it the music? The rhymes?
JB I can't say I look up to them, but I definitely like what they do. I think that they're amazing. But are they on Michael's level? I don't think they're on Michael's level.
ED Tell that to Kanye.
JB Well, Kanye is on a different level. I mean, Kanye is probably my favorite producer. He's a musical genius. But, he's not on Michael's level. I think that in order to be on Michael's level you have to reach as many people as Michael reached, and Kanye doesn't reach as many people. No one really does.
ED So right now predominantly girls listen to your music. How are you going to reach out to a wider audience?
JB It's all about making good music, and people hate me before they even listen to my music. I know a lot of people say they hate Justin Bieber who haven't even listened to any of my music. They just hate me because they hate the idea of me. I'm young, I'm handsome—I don't mean to sound conceited—but they think that I just got here because [of that], because I'm good-looking and girls like me, but the music isn't there. Here's the thing: my first album, I was 13 turning 14 when I recorded it, and I put it out when I was 14 or 15. It was my first time recording, and it turned out really well. We put it out, my fans loved it, but I was still really young. Then the second album came out, and I'd geared it mostly toward the fans. And I feel like the more I put out, people will realize it's really good music, and they're going to come. I'm not worried about the guy fans because they're going to come. If they listen to the music and they like it, it doesn't matter if they go and act like they don't like me. They're going to go home and listen to it.
ED Do you want to start rapping? Is that something you want to experiment with in music seriously?
JB No, I mean, I do it for fun, man. I do it just because I think it's fun.
ED But why not?
JB I don't think people take me seriously doing it. I'll just put it out so people will be like "that's pretty tight." Like, just something I can do, but I don't want to make a rap album. But I also want people to know that I write my stuff. No one writes my stuff for me. I write everything on my iPhone. And when people say, "Oh, Justin Bieber, he can spit but he didn't write his stuff," they're wrong. I do.
ED You write your own tweets, too.
JB That's about keeping my fans in the loop of what I'm doing all the time. I want them to see that I'm not too good for them, and that I can still tell them what I'm doing all the time and be able to keep them informed of when stuff is coming out. When you follow me on Twitter, you are literally following my life. I think that's really cool.
ED You're working so hard. As you said, this consumes your life. So what do you look to for strength? I know you are religious, right?
JB I don't think I'm religious. I am spiritual. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. I believe that he put me in this position, and that I have to always give him the glory he deserves for putting me here. But I don't consider myself religious. A lot of people who are religious, I feel like they get lost. They go to church just to go to church. I am not trying to disrespect them at all, you know, whatever works for you; but for me, I focus more on praying and talking to Him. I don't have to go to church. I haven't been to church in a long time, but I know I have a relationship with Him. People can be like, "If you don't go to church, what do you mean, how are you a Christian?" But I am. I talk to Him, and that's all.
ED I read that your mom said she had a personal encounter with God, and she believes you are here to inspire and brighten the world. When you talk to Him, do you feel like you have a personal encounter, or are you just expressing how you feel?
JB You know, my ma has always had God around me, has always made it really apparent. She never pushed it on me, but she always brought me to church and she put me in Sunday school. When I was little, I did these things: "prophetic words," which is sort of like fortune-telling, but from God. They said in one of those tapes—when I was really young—that I was going to be the voice of the new generation. So, I don't know what that means. It could just mean that I'm here to make music and inspire people. That's all I know. I just want to be able to be a good influence on people. I know I'm going to make mistakes, because I'm young and I still love to have fun. I'm not perfect. I think everyone makes mistakes, and that's what life's about, you know?
ED Why do you think you're such an easy target? Is it your age? Your demographic? Your level of success?
JB Yeah, I mean, when I was coming up, trying to get to where I am now, people were so happy [for me]. They were rooting for me. Now that I'm on top, everyone wants to bring me down. Everyone's trying to tug at me and take my spot. And that's how it always is, everyone wants you to be on top, and as soon as you're there—like Floyd Mayweather, he's the best boxer in the world. Now he is a champion. Every time he goes to a fight now, people are like, "He's going to lose this time," and then he wins. And the next time they say, "He's going to lose," again; "he's undefeated, he's getting old, he's going to fight Ortiz, who's younger, and he's going to lose." Every time he wins. And people aren't ever going to know that he's a champ.
ED So, how are you going to let people know that you're the champ? People can dismiss you selling out the Garden as riding that big wave of initial fame. And let's say you set the O2 arena record... I mean, who are you really setting these goals for?
JB I am setting them not only for me but for other people too. I want people to know that this is not just a fluke. It's not a fluke that I'm here. I'm here for a reason, and I'm here for a lifetime. And no one is going to get rid of me.
ED They didn't call Michael the King of Pop until he was around 30.
JB That's right. It took him a long time. I'm here now, and I'm going to keep proving to people that I'm here for good.
ED Isn't that a lot of pressure to put on yourself?
JB No. I'm a competitive person. If I lose at Ping-pong or something, I'm like, "Ahh!" It's exciting.
ED Sure. Except when you're a competitive person and you're playing basketball or Ping-pong, or whatever, you have somebody to beat. But what it seems like we're talking about is you against yourself.
JB Now that I'm where I am, I work even harder because there are always people who will try to be where I am. There are people in this world who are really talented—super talented— who want their shot to be where I am, and they're going to work as hard as they can to be where I am, like how I worked. So, in order for me to stay where I am I need to work just as hard as those people, if not harder. Like I said before, Floyd Mayweather trains every day, even when it's off-season. When everyone else just chills and doesn't work out because they are not fighting. He's in there punching the bags because he wants to be the best. He wants to be better than Muhammad Ali, and that's what he's striving to be. He's going to go and fight even when he doesn't have to. When I have time off I need to, at this point—I'm going to be honest: I'm young and I'm not as disciplined as I need to be in order to be the best. If I have a day off, I need to be at the dance studio, [but instead] I'm hanging out with my friends because I'm young. But when I'm in my 20s and I'm starting to really want to be the best, I need to buckle down and work as hard as these other people. Like Kobe Bryant: he shows up two hours before the game, or two hours before practice, and leaves two hours later because he just wants it way more than everyone else. And that's what I want.
ED But, you can't expect to do that now. You can't spend all of your teen years just working and working and working.
JB And that's what I mean, I can only do so much and pick what's most important, because I need to make sure I have fun doing this but I also need to work really hard.
ED And you perform, what, 120 shows in a tour sometimes? Toward the end, how do you keep going?
JB You've got to. By the end of the tour you're so tired of doing the same show every night, but you're getting better every night and you're realizing what the fans love when you do it. So if I do one move and I hear that same reaction every night I am going to keep doing it and trying to do it better. So by the end of the tour, everything is so tight. I feel like my fans are what get me through. Just seeing the smiles and people crying in the audience—it's crazy.
ED So, let's say that Mayweather wants to be better than Ali, right?
JB Yeah.
ED You can't ever really compare someone to Ali, because he's an icon. Michael's an icon. So no matter what Mayweather does, no matter how many people he beats, or how long he stays a champ, or if he retires or is defeated, do you think that people can ever really compare or ever say Mayweather was better than Ali?
JB It's different. First of all, Ali was in a different weight class, so it's completely different. But I think it's about making himself just as big. I mean, Michael Jackson looked up to James Brown. James Brown was an icon. And I would consider Michael Jackson bigger than James Brown. If Mayweather goes another three, four fights, and wins? Muhammad Ali lost. Mayweather has never lost in his whole career. He is like 35 years old. He hasn't lost and people don't give him that respect.
ED Do you box?
JB Yeah, I box. Me and my friends box all the time. My dad is a fighter so he taught me some stuff growing up, and he's a great fighter, so I'm a pretty good boxer. Here, I want to show you something.
Justin pulls up the video on his phone. He and his friend circle each other in the ring, while "Eye of the Tiger" plays in the background, Jaden Smith playing referee. The bell goes off. And Bieber starts swinging.

In Global Warming Case, Supreme Court Reaches Correct Result But Leaves Room for Mischievous Litigation
In the important global warming case decided today, American Electric Power Co. v. Connecticut, the Supreme Court unanimously reached the correct result but one that still leaves room for plenty of mischievous litigation. While it's clearly true that, as the Court said, the Clean Air Act and the EPA exist to deal with the claims the plaintiffs made here—that the defendants' carbon dioxide emissions are pollutants that cause global warming—the Court left open the possibility of claims on state common‐law grounds such as nuisance. And it unfortunately said nothing about whether any such disputes, whether challenging EPA action or suing under state law, are properly "cases and controversies" ripe for judicial resolution.
The judiciary was not meant to be the sole method for resolving grievances with the government, even if everything looks like a nail to lawyers who only have a hammer. This case is the perfect example of a "political question" best left to the political branches: The science and politics of global warming is so complex and nuanced that there simply isn't a judicial role to be had.
As Cato's amicus brief argued, the chain of causation between the defendants' carbon emissions and the alleged harm caused by global warming is so attenuated that it resembles the famed "butterfly effect." Just as butterflies should not be sued for causing tsunamis, a handful of utility companies in the Northeastern United States should not be sued for the complex (and disputed) harms of global warming. Even if plaintiffs (here or in a future case) can demonstrate causation, it is unconstitutional for courts to make nuanced policy decisions that should be left to the legislature. Just as it's improper for a legislature to pass a statute punishing a particular person (bill of attainder), it's beyond courts' constitutional authority to determine wide‐ranging policies in which numerous considerations must be weighed in anything but an adversarial litigation process.
If a court were to adjudicate claims like those at issue in American Electric Power and issue an order dictating emissions standards, two things will happen: 1) the elected branches will be encouraged to abdicate to the courts their responsibilities for addressing complex and controversial policy issues, and 2) an already difficult situation would become nearly intractable as regulatory agencies and legislative actors butt heads with court orders issued across the country in quickly multiplying global warming cases. These inevitable outcomes are precisely why the standing and political question doctrines exist.
Dissatisfaction with the decisions and pace of government does not give someone the right to sue over anything. Or, as Chief Justice Marshall once said, "If the judicial power extended to every question under the laws of the United States … [t]he division of power [among the branches of government] could exist no longer, and the other departments would be swallowed up by the judiciary."

by PAUL L. WILLIAMS, PHD
A Gulen school where students are indoctrinated in the tenets of radical Islam to bring about a New World Order under Sharia (Islamic law) may operate within walking distance to your home or business. Your tax dollars might be used to further "education jihad." Your children or kids in your hometown might be groomed to take part in the restoration of the Ottoman Empire and the creation of a universal caliphate.
It sounds preposterous. But it's true.
You may even think that an ecumenical educational enterprise – such as a charter school operated by recent émigrés from Turkey – is worthy of support. Think again. The Gulen schools are so subversive that they have been outlawed in such countries as Russia and Uzbekistan. The funding for these institutions has been curtailed in the Netherlands.
The Gulen schools – which fuel the Gulen movement – have been responsible for transformation of Turkey from a secular state into an Islamic country with 85,000 active mosques – one for every 350 citizens – the highest number per capita in the world, 90,000 imams, more imams than teachers and physicians – and thousands of state-run Islamic schools.
Yet Gulen schools flourish throughout the U.S.A. – 85 such schools are already in existence and dozens more are expected to open next year. All are funded by American taxpayers.
You might think of schools called "the Beehive Academy" or "the Chesapeake Science Point School" as altruistic institutions that serve the common good of the American people, but names are deceptive and the Gulen movement operates under the Islamic principle of taqiyya or "holy deception."
Fethullah Gulen, the 68-year-old founder of the schools and the movement, represents an embodiment of this principle. In his public statements, Gulen has espoused a liberal version of Sunni/Hanafi Islam by promoting the Muslim notion of hizmet – altruistic service to the common good. He has condemned terrorism, advocated interfaith dialogue, and met with such religious dignitaries as Pope John Paul II, the Greek Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomeos, and Israeli Sephardic Head Rabbi Eliyahu Bakshi-Doron.
In private, Gulen has stated that in order to reach the ideal Muslim society "every method and path is acceptable, [including] lying to people."
Nurettin Veren, a top administrator of the Gulen schools says: "These schools are like shop windows. Recruitment and Islamization activities are carried out through night classes."
Bayram Balcri, a leading Turkish scholar, writes: "Fethullah's aim is the Islamization of Turkish nationality and the Turcification of Islam in foreign countries. Dozens of Fethullah's 'Turkish schools' abroad – most of which are for boys – are used to covertly 'convert,' not so much 'in school,' but through direct proselytism 'outside school. Gulen wants to revive the link between state, religion, and society."
Gulen has the financial means to achieve this objective. His movement has amassed more than $25 billion in assets. And he works to topple governments, indoctrinated youth, and create the New Islamic World Order not from Islamabad or Istanbul but rather from his heavily guarded mountain fortress in Pennsylvania.

Brach replaces Erlin for bullpen depth
SAN DIEGO -- The Padres optioned left-hander Robbie Erlin to Triple-A Tucson and recalled righty Brad Brach on Monday.
The move comes in part due to Erlin's struggles in his past two starts against the Nationals and Red Sox and because the Padres needed some help in the bullpen. This will be Brach's third stint with the Padres this season.
"Our bullpen has been taxed over the past 10 days and I felt as though we needed a fresh arm," said Padres manager Bud Black. "Robbie's last couple performances have been such where I think there was a couple things that required immediate attention, and he'll get that in the Minor Leagues."
Erlin allowed 12 runs on 11 hits and walked seven in his first two career starts on the road (at Boston and Washington). That's a 14.08 ERA over 7 2/3 innings.
"Trying to be too fine and felt like I tried to do a little bit too much," Erlin said. "That comes from a lack of execution."
In his first two starts, both at Petco Park, Erlin produced solid outings. On June 1 against the Blue Jays he allowed eight hits and gave up two runs in 6 2/3 innings. His next start came on June 26 against the Phillies, where he scattered four hits and two runs in 6 1/3 innings.
"I think the biggest difference is the fastball command," Erlin said about his first two starts and last two. "The offspeeds were a little bit inconsistent at times in all four of them. I was able to get that feel back in the first two, and finish the game strong. Fastball command is what I relied on in the first two and I didn't have it in the second two. It's tough to get by."
The Padres have not announced who will start Friday against the Giants in Erlin's spot.

Powerball jackpot tantalizes at $320 million
No one has won jackpot since early February
People across the country are hoping to pick the six winning Powerball numbers drawn Saturday night -- and the $320 million jackpot that comes with them.
The winning numbers drawn Saturday night were 17-29-31-52-53 and a Powerball of 31.
Neil Watson with the Nebraska Lottery says the current estimated jackpot of $320 million seems to be holding strong. The lump-sum cash option is $198.3 million.
Lottery officials say the current jackpot is the sixth highest in history. No one has won the Powerball jackpot since early February.
The holders of two winning tickets -- one purchased in Arizona and the other in Missouri -- shared $587.5 million in November, the largest Powerball jackpot in history.
Powerball is played in 42 States, Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

IWC Schaffhausen Unveils New Flagship Boutique, Adding a Star to the Beijing Sky
23 Nov, 2012, 15:00 GMT
BEIJING, November 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Yesterday, IWC Schaffhausen celebrated the opening of its Flagship Boutique in Beijing, China. Friends of the Brand and selected guests were among those in attendance at the spectacular unveiling ceremony in the Parkview Green Mall, followed by the premiere of an IWC Portuguese Sidérale Scafusia dedicated to Beijing, an evening to remember.
"Our new Flagship Boutique, now the second in Asia, takes IWC's watchmaking heritage to a new level," explained IWC CEO Georges Kern. "We are proud to celebrate this occasion with our distinguished guests and to honor the importance of the Chinese market with an exclusive timepiece". Parkview Green, a new mall in the heart of Beijing's central business district, is setting new standards in both form and function with the use of innovative environmental technologies, enabling, among other achievements, the establishment of a microclimate beyond the influence of Beijing's extreme seasonal climates. IWC invited 200 guests to join them at Parkview Green for the boutique's grand opening event. For the inauguration, guests gathered on the bridge in front of the fully covered Flagship Boutique to learn more about IWC's milestones of innovation, an exhibition featuring ten watches from the years 1874 to 2000.
After the reception on the bridge, Friends of the Brand including actress Tang Wei, Olympic gold medal winner Chen Yibing, actor Su You Peng, actress Zhu Zhu, movie director Wang Xiaoshuai, and artist Wang Luyan joined forces with Georges Kern, Benoit de Clerck, Managing Director of IWC Asia Pacific, and Dennis Lee, Managing Director of IWC China, to unveil the architectural highlight. "The first IWC Flagship Boutique in mainland China is not only important for the region, but also adds a new landmark to the company's history," explained Georges Kern. The dimensions became even more evident after the curtains had dropped and guests were able to discover the Flagship Boutique's interior.
The architecture of IWC's third Flagship Boutique is just as exceptional as its surroundings. The facade of the approximately 300 square-meter, bi-level glass cube is an eye-catcher in its own right. A brainchild of in-house designers and architects, the signature interior reflects the luxurious ambience of IWC's collection. Fitted out with sumptuous dark woods and exquisite materials, the Flagship Boutique creates an elegant atmosphere that invites customers to explore the six fascinating watch families along with boutique-exclusive editions, and the IWC Collection, only available in Flagship Boutiques, and made up of innovative, hand-picked items and accessories as exquisite and outstanding as the watches themselves.
In addition to its one-of-a-kind environment, the IWC Flagship Boutique Beijing - which is the second Flagship Boutique in Asia - features a world premiere - and not only for aficionados of haute horlogerie: a room dedicated to a star in IWC's history, the Portuguese Sidérale Scafusia. The pinnacle of mechanical and engineering skills in the art of astronomical timekeeping today combines over 500 components, from the patented constant-force tourbillon escapement to the wheel train, culminating in the display of solar and sidereal time, twilight, sunrise, and sunset, and the constantly changing view of the visible stars and constellations from the customer's own horizon. To mark the special occasion, IWC created a Portuguese Sidérale Scafusia with a celestial chart on the case back showing the Forbidden City's horizon. The new Flagship Boutique will be home to this masterpiece, which reflects IWC's founding principles: creating innovative watches with technologies ahead of their time, while always respecting sustainability and heritage. The combination of tradition and innovation deeply rooted in IWC's multifaceted timepieces has now found a worthy new home in one of the world's most ancient capitals.

Nonetheless in case the goods were faulty at the time of receipt we offer you the statutory guarantee. Please use the steps described in "How to Return" in such a case.
Technical Information Accuracy
All Technical Information is derived from the average measured values of dyed material lots. The accuracy of these values depends heavily on the number of available dye lots that have been measured - which can vary heavily from article to article.
The depicted technical values are the averages from the available lots. The actual technical values may vary up to 10 percent points.
Color Accuracy
Please note that although we do our best to represent our lace stock and colors with as accurately as possible, both in descriptions and imagery, colors may vary according to factors such as florescent lighting or the settings of your computer screen and can therefore only be an approximation of the actual product. In the occurrence of such a case, please understand that these potential discrepancies are unintentional.
Additionally we are doing our best to ensure that a corresponding or similar Pantone colour name is included in the description of each article and colour, to present the oppurtunity to see the colour turn out in a maybe more easily accessible way.
Please be aware that the Pantone colour name is only meant as an orientation and that the actual colour may vary.
Please be aware that goods such as lace cannot guaranteed always be the same, even if it is the exact article.
Therefore not only may the yarn vary some, but the role sizes may also differ from one another. While we are doing our best to avoid any discrepancies, they still may occur and will be communicated accordingly and as soon as possible, if not already evident.
In case of samples ordered, the color matching and technical specifications are not guaranteed and may vary.

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by Joanne K. Rowling –> finished! Re-read. I just felt like squeezing it in and now I want to re-read the whole series. Will do so over Autumn and Winter, it's the best time for it.
Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erikson –> 90%! Re-read. Almost done and it was so much fun! I forgot more than I remembered but I think I liked it even more the second time.
Misery by Stephen King –> I am stuck. It doesn't draw me in as much as other King novels and I already gave it a fair chance. Will not give up yet though. Man, I hate the female antagonist so much!
What I want to read in May
Assassin's Fate by Robin Hobb –> most anticipated read this year next to Oathbringer. Will get it at the end of the week, when it becomes available on my Kindle.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by Joanne K. Rowling –> Once started I want to read them ALL again!
Memories of Ice by Steven Erikson –> It's my favourite of the series!! I am still deciding whether I want to do more 'Read Along' posts about it.
The Waking Fire by Anthony Ryan –> Already wanted to read it last month.
A Cavern of Black Ice by J.V. Jones –> I totally forgot about it! I have to pick it up again or I will forget what happened!
So apart from Harry Potter those are all big books. But I am ready for them! 😀

DENSO VM-Series 6-Axis Robots
DENSO RoboticsUpdated 03/26/2013
The medium-size DENSO VM-Series six-axis articulated robots offer high speed and repeatability along with powerful load-handling capability. They have a 13 kg payload capacity and a maximum allowable moment of inertia (0.36 kgm² at J4 and J5, and 0.064 kgm² at J6) that is 2.5 times greater than conventional robots. This enables flexible end-effector designs and a wide range of applications. The arm of the VM Series is only 130 mm wide, minimizing interference with peripheral equipment and contributing to facility size reduction. The VM Series is ANSI and CE compliant, making it suitable for global deployment. Standard and ISO 5 (class 100) cleanroom models are available.

Boston rocks: Stirring Red Sox victory turns ALCS on its ear
BOSTON -- Cosmic forces move slowly and strike quickly. That is about the only explanation for what happened at Fenway Park on Sunday night. The speed is eight stops on the MBTA's Green Line in five months. The quickness fast enough to make your head spin.
It was on May 13 that the Boston Bruins trailed the Toronto Maple Leafs by three goals in the third period of Game 7 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals a few floors above North Station, and then came storming back with two goals in the final 1:22 of regulation before winning in overtime.
MORE: Red Sox's great escape | Time for cases of sports amnesia
Sunday night was Oct. 13, a few blocks from Kenmore Station, and the Boston Red Sox were trailing the Detroit Tigers by four runs with two outs in the eighth inning of Game 2 of the American League Championship Series. David Ortiz's grand slam in the eighth inning tied the game, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia's single in the ninth inning tied the series.
Boston's 6-5 victory, after trailing by five runs in the sixth inning, was about the only way that the Red Sox could top the comeback exploits of Tom Brady leading the New England Patriots to a last-minute victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday afternoon. That was just a regular season game in Foxborough, but the Red Sox knew about it when they took the field half an hour later.
"I know enough guys saw it, with guys on their fantasy football teams and stuff, had some guys out there," Red Sox outfielder Daniel Nava told Sporting News. "Maybe some of the guys didn't see, but I know I saw it. Maybe we were just building off that. ... I can totally see why everyone saw it. We're a team that's prided itself on not being out until you get that 27th out. Not to be corny like that, but that's the mentality that you've got to have, and we've got guys that have been around enough to know that's the case."

Ortiz is one of those guys, having been among the stars of the Red Sox's comeback from a 3-0 series deficit against the New York Yankees in the 2004 ALCS, the only team in baseball history to pull off that feat. The Red Sox could have been staring at the same deficit in this series, given that Justin Verlander is pitching in Game 3 and the Red Sox were doing nothing at the plate.
Instead, the Red Sox head west brimming with confidence.
"Tuesday against Verlander I'm pretty sure you're going to see guys having better at-bats," Ortiz said. "I think that, like I say, they have outstanding pitching and we are the kind of team that we try to take advantage of mistakes. And the past couple of days, I mean, see, the whole regular season you haven't seen a team shutting us down for 14, 15 straight innings like they have the past couple of days."
The Red Sox feel alive. Boston feels alive. When Ortiz hit the first pitch that Joaquin Benoit threw into the home bullpen at Fenway Park, the 101-year-old building shook a bit, at least in the upper levels.
"The numbers came up that he had never hit a home run off Benoit, and the first pitch, he hits a home run," said Clay Buchholz, who was on track to be the losing pitcher until that moment. "That was unbelievable, just sitting in here, sort of speechless at the time. That's why this team's where we're at right now, because nobody ever gives up, and everybody believes the next guy can do it."

Down in the batting cage, where he was warming up for a pinch-hitting appearance that wound up being unnecessary, Nava only caught a glimpse of what was happening on television, and he didn't think that Ortiz's ball was going over the fence until it sailed past Torii Hunter's glove.
"I'm sure the place just erupted, and you could probably hear it for blocks," Nava said. "That's got to be pretty fun to hear something like that, be walking down the street and wonder what was going on, right?"
When it's Boston and the playoffs, there doesn't seem to be much to wonder about anymore. The city that once was home to The Impossible Dream of the 1967 Red Sox now plays host to the impossible on a semi-regular basis.
The Bruins had their miracle comeback, and it launched them on a path to a conference title. The Red Sox had theirs, and the series is now a best-of-five from this point forward, with three games in Detroit. It's just that the scope of what happened on Sunday is bigger than the big picture, at least until everyone can regroup.
"I mean, I'm not happy at this point, but I'm sure tomorrow I'll be a little bit happier about" splitting the games in Boston, said Tigers catcher Alex Avila, whose two-run homer in the sixth inning had given Detroit a 5-0 lead. "We had a chance to go up 2-0, but it's part of baseball. To be honest with you, it doesn't really matter. We got the split. We had a chance to go up 2-0, and we didn't. It's that simple."

User Manual:Editing the user manual
This page is up-to-date to MythTV version 0.20, the current release is 31.0
Following you'll find a list of guidelines for writing/maintaining the manual. These are here to help the manual stay organized.
Don't use hyperlinks - The manual should be readable without the need for hyperjumps. If you want to inform users about urls, write them out out completely so it stays usable in printed form as wel.
Not everyone is a Linux geek - Remember you have more expertise than most readers; keep it simple and avoid technical jargon. Technical solutions can be added to the chaptergroup for advanced users.
Mark/date things - Comments should be dated and marked with version numbers -- particularly things like "It doesn't do X (yet)." or "Y is supposed to work, but doesn't."
Accuracy, currency, and clarity are essential for documentation, precisely so that readers can evaluate what they read, in case a branch is less up-to-date than it should be.
If you want to do screenshots of live TV you must turn off XV video acceleration; you can use the following command to run Mythfrontend.
$ NO_XV=1 mythfrontend
This does software rendering of the video stream, so it is slow. To slightly improve speed, make sure you don't have any deinterlacing turned on.
This section exists to provide an anchor for meta-discussions about the manual itself; things which need to be hashed out, but not in-line where they'll confuse readers.
I hope that this branch of the wiki will pick up a following, and that everyone will Just Dive In making changes, like folks do over at Wikipedia... and that I don't offend anyone by hanging out here a lot myself and trying to polish up English and suchlike. :-}
Sub Page Protocol
Over the next day or so, I'll be moving these pages to subpages, where I should have put them in the first place.
And therein lies a story. I'm realizing, as I go along, that putting things on subpages, to avoid cluttering the namespace, has the side effect of making them *much* harder to reference conveniently, which is pretty much the precise purpose of using a Wiki to get the work done in the first place. So, while large chunks of inline text will play well as subpages, smaller self-contained ones which are likely to be cross-referred from other places (like the individual tables in the SQL database reference) probably *should* be independent pages.
It's a pretty rough haul, figuring out how to factor the page/subpage issue; this seems like a good topic for discussion.
Put it here. ;-)
And I've attracted help already. Hey, JDonavan; nice stuff. You don't seem to have a user page yet, so I'll post this here, and hope you note it in recent changes.
JD- The user manual is something I'd hoped to see out of the wiki since it started. Happy to help.
The User_Manual:Detailed_configuration_Frontend page is shaping up to be enormous (and unwieldy). It seems like it should be broken up into several pages (though that would make it inconsistent with User_Manual:Detailed_configuration_Backend). Maybe at least the stuff in the setup menus should be on a separate page from all of the other frontend stuff?
Paul 05:34, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
Is there somewhere the entire User Manual can be downloaded as a .pdf? Thanks.

Attractions: Squilchuck State Park offers an easily accessed snowshoe (or ski) through frosty forests with fleeting vistas of nearby landscapes. It's super fast to reach from Wenatchee, it's pretty, and it's a good place to exercise. From the eastern border of the park, you can also follow old roads up into the Stemilt Basin, gathering good views of the surroundings as you climb and accessing miles of snowed-over roads near Upper Wheeler and Spring Hill reservoirs.
Map: View our topo map below (8.5'x11" portrait).
Note: use 'Print Preview' before printing to properly scale this map to a full sheet of paper.
Activity: Snowshoeing or cross-country skiing.
Nearest Town: Wenatchee.
Skill Level: 1 (easy) for snowshoeers. 2+ (strong intermediate) for cross-country skiers.
Fitness Level: 1 (easy) for park loop. 2 (intermediate) for Stemilt Basin option.
Recommended Season: late December through February.
Elevation Gain: 550 feet for park loop, 850 feet for Stemilt Basin option.
Distance: Round-trip of 2.5 to 3 miles for park loop and 6.5 miles for Stemilt option.
Hours: In winter Squilchuck State Park is open Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. through February or as the budget allows. Warm up by the fire after the hike in the day lodge, and watch the fun taking place on the sledding hill. Find a ranger and ask about the old Squilchuck Ski Bowl and Weeks Family Farm – part of the interesting history of the park property.
Access: Leave Wenatchee on South Mission Street. This merges with the Squilchuck Road. Follow Squilchuck Road about 7 miles to Squilchuck State Park (4 miles before the Mission Ridge Ski Area). If the park is open, drive 0.45 miles up the park road and park in a lot below the lodge. More often than not the park is not open, so make a hard right turn as if you're heading to the Mission Ridge Ski Area and park 50 yards farther along on the left (south) side of the road.
Trip Instructions:
–Starting from parking area outside of the park either 1) walk around the gate blocking the entrance road to the park and walk 0.45 up the road to the upper parking area or 2) snowshoe/ski straight uphill of the car past a maintenance shed that's roughly 100 yards uphill of you and beeline 0.45 miles up to the upper parking area.
–From the upper parking area, keep heading uphill (traveling south) and head into the camping area past the numbered camping stalls. Follow the snowed-over road through this very small camping area and head into the woods. The road hooks around and eventually heads north.
–About 0.6 miles from the upper parking area, you'll come to a fork in the road. Stay right.
–In another 0.2 miles, reach a second intersection. Again stay right. Shortly after this second intersection the trail reaches the eastern boundary of the park where there is a small sign marking the boundary. If you're headed to the Stemilt Basin, you'll branch off to the right here. If you're taking a shorter trip and remaining in the park, just stay on the trail and it will loop around and return to the second intersection. From the second intersection, retrace the route to the start.
—If you're headed to the Stemilt Basin, split off to the right at the park boundary and ski or snowshoe on a relatively flat contour. It's a bit confusing here as to whether the road bed climbs or not. For the first 100 to 150 yards the route is quite flat, then it ramps up just a bit and starts a steady climb. If you follow the road for about 1.8 miles you'll eventually hit Upper Reservoir Loop Road. This road should not be skied with extremely light Nordic skis and boots—metal edged cross-country skis, 3-pin binding, and a slightly heavier boots are recommended. Depending on the snow conditions, you may also want skinny skins.
Cons / Hazards:
–The trails in the park are not groomed. This is not an issue for snowshoers but cross-country skiers may find lumpy conditions from all the foot traffic and frozen snow. This area is difficult to ski with extremely light Nordic skis and boots—metal-edged cross-country skis, 3-pin binding, and stiffer boots are all recommended. Depending on the snow conditions, you may also want skinny skins.
— The road up to the Stemilt Basin can also be quite a mixed bag of snow conditions and can be sun crusted and wind swept. Skins may be useful for going up it and sometimes might even be recommended for the descent.
Other Resources: State Park Map
Allowed: Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, hiking, and sledding.
Not Allowed: Snowboarding, snowmobiling, metal-edged sleds, and dogs off leash.
Land Ownership: Washington State Park.
Reporter: Andy Dappen 2/2008
Fees/Permits: A Discover Pass is necessary for parking at Squilchuck State Park. Annual passes are available for $30 through Washington State Parks.
Leave It Better Than You found It. This should be every outdoor user's goal. Pick up trash left by others, pull noxious weeds along your route, disperse old fire rings, throw branches over spur trails and spurs between switchbacks (make it harder to do the wrong thing than the right thing).
Important Disclaimer: Treat this information as recommendations, not gospel. Things change, conditions change, and those contributing these reports are volunteers–they may make mistakes, fail to give complete information, or may not know all the issues affecting a route.

Oviedo defensive end Tyree Owens has narrowed his list of 21 college football scholarship offers to three finalists: Georgia Tech, Iowa State and West Virginia.
Owens, who is visiting West Virginia this weekend, will announce his decision live Monday at 7 p.m., via Orlando Sentinel YouTube webcast at this link.
The 6-foot-4, 240-pound Owens, who is ranked No. 4 in the Sentinel's 2014 Central Florida Super60 and No. 50 in the Sentinel's 2014 Florida Top 100, has shown loyalty to the first two schools that offered him in West Virginia, which was his first offer, and Georgia Tech.
He talked about his final three schools on Friday:
Georgia Tech: "It's not just about football with them and they really talk to me about academics and everything else, too. It's really close to home and so my mom would be able to come see me play a lot more and I have family in Atlanta, some cousins there. They have an amazing opportunity for education and it's also a great team with great coaches.
Iowa State: "I haven't been there but it's a great team with some good coaches and it's a Big 12 school. They're doing some good things there."
West Virginia: "I loved the atmosphere and the town of Morgantown right when I got here. From the first time I walked into the stadium I could just feel it. It's a great place and the academics are great and the coaches are great people, too."
As a junior, Owens had 76 tackles, including 22 tackles for loss and six sacks. Owens is going into only his third season of competitive football, so the sky is the limit for his potential. So far he has relied on sheer athletic ability and he is only getting better and better as he learns technique and hones his skills.
He has long arms and impressive 4.73-second speed in the 40-yard dash that will make him a versatile, athletic weak-side rush end at the next level.

Lecture Capture Pilot Project Continues to the Spring 2012 Semester
Over the last year, CTS has been piloting lecture capture products used for recording presentations and lectures. The service has been primarily used for capturing faculty class lectures so students can then review the lecture material later. CTS will continue this pilot in the Spring semester with two capture products, echo360 and Tegrity.
We are actively seeking faculty and staff interested in participating in the Spring pilot project. If you would like to participate or receive more information, please fill out the Lecture Capture Pilot Participation form.
