In the '90s, Rebecca Gates fronted acclaimed Sub Pop combo The Spinanes, one of those treasures that somehow didn't make the cut for the "reunite to make big bucks" canon despite the passionate devotion of the faithful.
She has cool friends, yes — collaborators on Gates' new album "The Float" include members of Califone, The Decemberists, Godspeed You Black Emperor, The Jicks, Iron and Wine, Wild Flag and trust me, the list goes on — but Gates never cedes center stage. Her calm, searching presence is all over this music, moody but hopeful experimental pop that proves she's as vital as ever.

The Introduction of Real Fruit Smoothies
June 7, 2011
Real. Fruit. Smoothie. These aren't the first words that come to mind when one thinks about McDonald's. This made it especially challenging for the traditional burger and fry joint to launch Real Fruit Smoothies. With consumer skepticism and formidable competition in tow, McDonald's needed to turn doubt and distrust into joyful disbelief.

5 Sports Stars Buying Franchises as Their Next Play
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- For all the glitz and glory associated with being a sports star, the sad fact is that many professional athletes have short shelf lives. And once the last ball is thrown or layup made, endorsements are quick to fizzle.
Sports stars have notoriously been known to blow their earnings, either from aggressive agents who advocate investments that promise high returns or from their own extravagant lifestyle spending on cars, cribs (as in homes) and bling.
A 2009 Sports Illustrated story highlighted that just two years after retirement, 78% of NFL players "have gone bankrupt or are under financial stress because of joblessness or divorce." Further, within five years of retirement, "an estimated 60% of former NBA players are broke."
Sports associations are looking to guide their players into more stable careers once they retire. And professional athletes are increasingly betting on the franchise industry as a safe place to invest their money.
As bank credit remains elusive, the franchise industry is encouraging more players, with large checkbooks at their disposal, to sign on. While they may not take food orders or man the grill, there are a host of former players behind the scene.
"It's an untapped market," says Miriam Brewer, the senior director of education and diversity at the International Franchise Association . "Granted, there are growing numbers of athletes already in franchising. If we can reach
Still, the business of franchising was little known to many stars. Not anymore.
Besides working with the NFL Career Transition Program and the NBA to promote franchising, the IFA last year launched an effort with the Professional Athlete Franchise Initiative , or PAFI. The two-year-old organization, founded by former NFL cornerback Michael Stone, considers itself a liaison between franchisor and athlete and an education resource for athletes.
"Our goal is to educate athletes about franchising as a potential second career," Stone says. "We like franchising as opposed to pure entrepreneurism because it gives the athletes a little bit of coaching along the way and a support structure," which is similar to that of the sports world.
Last October, the IFA and the PAFI created a formal franchise education platform designed to attract prospective franchisors. The athletes who completed the PAFI Franchisee Education Program and became franchise owners would also receive credit toward a Certified Franchise Executive (CFE) designation, which is administered by the IFA Educational Foundation.
Still, when it comes to choosing a brand, Stone says it's a personal decision. The PAFI stops short of pairing franchisors with athletes. Athletes tend to choose brands that fit their lifestyle and budget.

Mayke Randa was sitting in a conference room in San Francisco earlier this month when her hand shot into the air. She was eager to talk to the representative from Medic Mobile, a tech company in San Francisco that uses mobile technology to improve healthcare in challenging settings. "I use Twitter and Facebook to run five non-governmental organizations in Indonesia, but we haven't used mobile phones for outreach. Today is a fantastic moment for me to meet the people behind important new social networking tools. I can bring this experience and knowledge back to my organizations and make a real impact."
Mayke founded of a social movement in Indonesia called "Blood for Life" that uses online tools to connect blood donors and patients in dire need of transfusions. She is one of 25 activists from across the globe participating in a U.S. Department of State-sponsored International Visitor Leadership Program exchange as part of Secretary Clinton's Strategic Dialogue with Civil Society. The program kicked off this week in Silicon Valley with meetings at Medic Mobile, Twitter, Kiva, and Ustream centered on building skills and understanding how social media platforms can facilitate civic action, outreach, and citizen empowerment.
When social media experts talk about mobile technology, they aren't just referring to the latest Android or iPhone. The mobile phone, even in its most basic $10 form, is a powerful tool that can connect global citizens and local communities for social good. Using the Medic Mobile model, PeaceTxt utilizes SMS messaging in cities around the globe -- from Chicago to Nairobi -- to instantly reach out to communities to urge calm when violence threatens to break out on city streets or in the run-up to an election.
At Twitter Headquarters in San Francisco, participants learned that tweeting does not require access to the Internet or cutting-edge technology: over 60 percent of active users on Twitter are mobile users.
Later, during their discussion with Ustream, participants learned how to upload and display video clips on a dedicated internet video channel and utilize the low-bandwidth version of live video streaming. They saw ways to champion a cause, connect with communities, and even promote transparent and accountable government by posting real-time footage of voting sites, protests, and other events. At Kiva, participants learned that by contributing as little as $25 to a project of their choice, anyone can become a lender, a philanthropist, or a donor. Discussion centered on how to leverage the internet and the worldwide network of microfinance institutions to help alleviate poverty.
One of the participants, Adil Nurmakov, a professor of International Information Technologies at the University of Almaty, Kazakhstan, summed up the learning experience around social media tools for good with this comment: "I know about these tools. I actually teach how to use Ustream to my students, but once you listen to the staff and meet the people behind the tools, it encourages and motivates on a very different level."
Mari in the US writes:
What these countries actually need from us is the infrastructure for cheap, reliable electricity and dependable supplies of clean water -- so they won't have to worry about providing health care in "challenging settings." Instead, we give them Facebook and Twitter.
Leonid in the Ukraine writes:
Health wish!
It's very impressive.
I wish you the best!

Early literacy begins with you! Children are ready to learn the minute they are born. Talk, sing, read, write and play with your child to lay the foundation for a future of reading success!
That's it! Talk to your little ones. Narrate your day. Offer them language and don't skimp on the vocabulary! The more words your pre-readers hear, the more they will learn how language works and that will prepare them to learn to read. Do you speak more than one language? Use all the languages you know; their growing brains will be better for it.Suggested activities: Make a grocery list together, narrate a car trip, or do a "picture walk" through a picture book (any book will do, but try out our suggested wordless picture books to get started).
Kids learn the sounds and rhythm of language best when listening to and singing songs. Take the lead and teach your child a few of your favorites. Need a little inspiration?Attend a storytime and learn lots of kid-friendly music.Check out some of our music picks for kids: Kindie Rocks!,Baby Rock!, and Kids' Music for Hip Families.Download free digital music for kids on Freegal.
A major key to learning to read is...reading! Read together, model reading behaviors and give your child access to as many print sources as possible.Need a suggestion for a book to read together?
Try these lists of our recommendations:Read to Me or Family Faves. Do you speak Spanish? Check out our Nací Para Leer list.Is your child tech-savvy? Discover online, interactive books fromTumbleBook Library. For Spanish books, try TumbleBook Biblioteca.
Crayons, paints, markers, fingers in shaving cream on a tabletop. Make writing activities available to your child and let them "scribble" their way to writing, a skill that will help them better absorb the concept of reading. Start with scribbled circles, move on to freestyle lines and shapes and then have them try the first letter of their name. Is your child ready to practice letters? Print out handwriting practice worksheets at this website.
Kids learn through play. Let them let loose! Play at home, at the park or at one of the library's First Five Years spaces. These spaces include interactives, board books and are made just for kids ages birth to 5 and their families.Explore the Valley's museums with a Culture Pass, available for checkout at each of our 17 locations. A Culture Pass provides admission for two at one of 12 cultural institutions including the Children's Museum of Phoenix, Arizona Science Center, Phoenix Art Museum, Arizona Museum of Natural History and the Phoenix Zoo.Play online with our recommended kids' games. (Please note: only some of the games included on this list are suitable for preschoolers.) Every library storytime includes play. Whether within the storytime (bubbles! shakers! the parachute!) or after the program, during community time, storytimes offer kids a chance to play with new things and new people.
Doing these things prepares your child for reading success. Watch a mom and daughter share language and practice many of these early literacy activities to see just how easy and fun it can be!
These activities recommended by Every Child Ready to Read, a national early literacy initiative.

Detroit style is partially influenced by topping placement but mostly defined by the blue steel pans used. In the last 5 years, there has been a run on the pans. The primary manufacturer went out of business and a lot of the local shops have been scrambling to find a similar replacement. Buddy's and some of the older pizzarias have an advantage because their pans have been seasoned over the years. The original buddy's supposedly has the best pizzas because their oven is seasoned more than other locations.
Wonder if you could "pre-season" even a new oven by tossing a couple handfuls of sauce soaked cheese onto the decks every night at closing time for a couple months, scrape it clean next day.
I'm interested to hear the answer seeing as how I've lived within 50 miles of downtown Detroit for 40+ years and never knew there was a "Detroit Style" pizza until I found this forum!
So when you went out for pizza, what were you looking for? Round or Square? Deep-dish or thin crust? Sauce on top or under cheese?
Frankly, the more I think about it, the more I tend to believe that there is no such thing as Detroit Style as a distinct variety.
I can see how someone living in a big city might not eat at the relatively small number of places making Detroit Style - it's like someone proclaiming pulled pork to be "Austin Style Barbecue" even though the majority of BBQ in town is beef. But have you ever eaten at Buddy's or Jet's?
I've had both of them a good number of times. Frankly, I see nothing style-wise that's notably different from other "deep dish" pizzas from any other chain. The Wikipedia article on Detroit Style pizza (though I hate referencing wikipedia) even mentions Pizza Papalis and Little Caesars, which are pretty much polar opposites of each other in the realm of deep dish pizzas.
Peter,I also really wondered about why Detroit style pizzas are called that, except they are made in Detroit in auto parts pans. I had a few people from Detroit visit my small pizza stand and ask what a Detroit style pizza was. They apparently never heard of a Detroit style pizza either. I sure don't know, but think it has something to do with something like Chicago style pizzas. I have recently been talking to someone on facebook and this is what he said to me about Chicago pizzas. Also, can I clear something up? A huge misconception about Chicago is that we eat deep dish pizza, or at least prefer it. In reality eating deep dish is only a once in a year occasion if even that! We prefer thin pizzas cut into squares. Pizza is always cut into squares in Chicago! Expect of course for deep dish. Most Chicagoans feel that deep dish is "too filling" and heavy. So we stick with the thin. The concept of two inches of crust, two inches of cheese, and two inches of sauce is just not palatable to most Chicagoans.Thanks, JimThat is just Jim opinion though about Chicago style pizzas.Norma

Those #10 cans are a little unwieldly for a home kitchen. I simply put my excess in wide-mouth quart-sized Mason jars and freeze.
Hi Bortz.What I found with the full red fully prepared pizza sauce was it is pretty much already spiced.What I do is use one can at a time,take what you are going to use out and ziploc the rest in portions,usually enough sauce for 3 pies in each.Then pack them in the freezer until required.If you dont mind me asking what sauce are you currently using for your pies.Aaron

Should Ringo Starr say sorry to Liverpool ahead of his June gig?
by Paddy Shennan, Liverpool Echo
March 4, 2011
http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpoo ... -28277175/
(A foliage sculpture of the Beatles at Liverpool's South Parkway transport interchange saw Ringo Starr's head chopped off by vandals)
Should Ringo Starr apologise to Liverpool?
Yes: 65.3%
No: 34.7%
RINGO Starr lost his head soon after his last visit to Liverpool . . . an angry local chopped it off outside Liverpool South Parkway station (a terrible irony bearing in mind the former Beatle's connection with Thomas The Tank Engine).
Fortunately for the formerly fab but now fallen one, it was only a lifesize topiary figure of his famous Beatle bonce which was removed.
Ringo went from hero to zero in many people's eyes just a week after playing a starring role in his home city's European Capital of Culture launch celebrations.
He went on Jonathan Ross's BBC1 chat show and gave a flippant answer to a question which invited him to say nice things about the place where he was born and raised.
After Ross asked him what he missed most about Liverpool, Ringo laughed, prompting the host to say: "I didn't know that question would get a laugh! Are there any things you miss about not being in Liverpool any more?"
"No," deadpanned Ringo.
During the Capital of Culture opening weekend, Ringo sang: "Liverpool, I left you – but I never let you down."
Many ECHO readers who disagreed were quick to castigate him in our letters pages: "For me, 30 seconds of flippancy have ruined any image I had of him as a Scouse icon," wrote Dan Ray from Liverpool.
"I am disgusted by his whole attitude and feel he should not receive any plaudits for his appearance as it is quite clear he feels nothing for this great city," said CP of Mossley Hill.
While Sadie Maguire, from Bootle, wrote: "On behalf of the people of Liverpool, I'd like to give Ringo his famous peace sign back, the other way around!"
All had seemed well as thousands gathered outside St George's Hall to watch him headline the People's Opening festivities on Friday, January 11, 2008 – and 24 hours later, when he headlined Liverpool: The Musical at the ECHO arena.
"Poor Ringo!" says Jayne Casey, who was one of the artistic directors for the grand opening. "He cracked a joke and it was the wrong joke. But I believe he did a massive service for the city – I knew he would attract the world's media, and he did."
She adds "I just think everyone should get real and understand he's human. He's an old guy who just cracked a joke which was unfortunately in bad taste. But it was a set up question. If I was in his management team, I'd be very angry with Jonathan Ross.
"The city needs to forgive him . . . He didn't kill anyone. He just said the wrong thing."
Peter Hooton, singer with The Farm, who played at the ECHO arena show, says: "I don't think he's got anything to apologise for. I listened to him being interviewed on Steve Wright's Radio 2 show on the same day as the Jonathan Ross show and he was fulsome in his praise when talking about Liverpool. He had nothing but good to say.
"And he was great backstage at the ECHO arena. He came into everyone's dressing room and was hugging everyone."
He adds: "I don't think he was very diplomatic, but I didn't find what he said about not missing Liverpool offensive. I think it was much ado about nothing."
Comedian Keith Carter – whose alter ego, scally Nige, famously impressed Capital of Culture judges by telling them: "We've got culture coming out of our a***s" – saw the reaction of Liverpool people to Ringo's chat show appearance at one of his own gigs.
He explains: "I mentioned Ringo and the crowd just went mad and started booing. But think about it, they were tough times when he was growing up in the Dingle. What would you rather do if you had the choice – spend your younger days being worshipped by millions and the rest of your life tanning your Scouse a**e in LA, or live in the Dingle forever?'
"I think the booing was a bit of a knee-jerk reaction. If Ringo walked in everyone would probably have been going 'Look! It's a Beatle!' and having their picture taken with him."
He adds: "In The Beatles' early interviews, they were irreverent and cheeky – and Ringo still seems to be in that mindset. He was being flippant and probably didn't think anyone was going to mind. Also, he doesn't know the new Liverpool – he was here when it was falling apart."
Bill Heckle, a director of Cavern City Tours, admits Ringo missed a great opportunity to further endear himself to Liverpool people on Ross's show, but says: "There is no need for him to apologise. Where is our sense of humour?"
And he stresses that Ringo's pre-fame life in Liverpool was hardly full of happy memories: "He was born into poverty, abandoned by his father when he was a baby, was very ill as a child and left school at 14 or 15 before starting a succession of dead end jobs. Then he won the lottery.
"So when he's asked 'Do you miss Liverpool?' in his memories they were very, very harsh days. He's since lived in Monaco and Beverly Hills and wakes up with the sun on his back – would you miss Liverpool in the same situation?"

Was hoping to do a variety of styles. The chimney has a damper on it. How does the rear chimney design affect the pizza making process?
Ahh. I understand. One more question about this oven before we total nix it. The oven does have louvers on the front door. Would there be a way to combine the chimney damper and the louvers simultaneously to create a proper heating environment? We really appreciate your help to this point.
I contacted the he Portugal company, Impexfire and asked why they installed a rear chimney and the sent me back a very interesting drawing of the guts of this wood oven.
Thermal mass aids heat retention and re- radiation, you can hit high temps by the strength of a sustained fire alone. It will be less able to retain heat as long as a masonry oven but you do not need that condition unless you are catering regularly on a commercial basis.
Thermal mass does not guarantee balanced heat or temperature conditions, in an oven that is a consequence of how the surface is heated, where the heat source is, its intensity, and the convection patterns within. Thermal mass has some influence on the capabilities of the surface but little influence on convection, and none on where you choose to locate the fire and how intense you want it to be.
Who said anything about a guarantee? Mass plays a major role in heat balance. Insulation can serve much the same function. I'll guarantee you can't have balanced heat without sufficient mass or insulation, AOTBE. The more you rely on the fire to maintain temperature, the less balanced the oven will be. Convection is not the relevant heat transfer mechanism to consider here - it's radiant heat that is the meaningful variable.
Oh don't make things up. Thermal mass only comes into it if you have a prolonged fire and there has been enough absorption of heat through time for it to re-radiate over time. Not in the the 20 minutes it takes for these oven s to heat the base and have a top heat which moves via convection, and is aided by reflective heat more than it would be with radiant heat. Radiant heat is irrelevant largely with the 304 steel, it is better with mild steel. There are lots of conventional ovens with thermal mass that do not have a desired heat balance, and that desired heat balance is achieved by managing a number of variables. Take a closed room in a stone castle with a large fireplace and the same size room with a small fireplace, you do not get heat balance just because the walls are made of stone and have thermal mass capacity. The same principles apply to an oven, albeit in a smaller and more concentrated situation.

Hurricane Sandy: A Hoboken Perspective
HOBOKEN, NJ ( TheStreet) -- On Oct. 28, Hoboken, N.J., was a vibrant, urban city full of life, as bars and restaurants filled with thousands of patrons watching football and enjoying life. A day later, that all changed thanks to one unwanted guest: Sandy.
Hurricane Sandy (or superstorm Sandy) arrived in Hoboken, an affluent Northern New Jersey town, Monday evening like a force of nature the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast region of the United States has never seen before. Hurricane force winds tore up the Hoboken pier, the Hudson River surged over and flooded large portions of the town, leaving 22,829 Public Service Enterprise Group (PEG) (PSE&G) customers without power initially, according to Hoboken's Twitter account.
Since the hurricane hit, some 9,000 of those customers have gotten their power back, but there are many more to go. My apartment in Hoboken managed to survive the storm and its aftermath with power, losing only cable and Internet, but many more lost much more.
Ground-floor apartments were flooded beyond belief, cars were swept away in rivers that had once been streets. The sights and destruction caused by the wind and flooding were that of a war-torn area, not an affluent North Jersey city 10 minutes from New York City.
By Friday, Hoboken, a town known for its hustle, had become a ghost town. Many of the residents left, seeking to stay with friends or family where power had returned. Despair had long since set in on the remaining residents faces, and stories of hardship were the soundtrack of the otherwise silent city.
People who had been without power since Monday afternoon, residents who were using baby wipes to clean themselves, as hot water and running showers were scarce. Some used tin cans, stuffed with toilet paper, soaked in rubbing alcohol to heat food for themselves and their roommates. The tales broke my heart, as I looked into the eyes of those telling their war stories of the past few days.
The National Guard, FEMA, and Red Cross have set up shop in lower Hoboken, becoming tenants as important as the pizza shops, boutiques and many bars on Washington Street, Hoboken's main strip.
Of the few businesses that somehow held on to power, lines were ostensibly long as residents clamored for food and drink. I had to wait on line for well over an hour at a local deli, just to get something to drink, and I was one of the lucky ones. The majority of these businesses were operating by generators, some doing so with no lights, as they served their customers, who braved the conditions, waiting on lines, sometimes as long as two hours.
There were other businesses that did not fair so lucky, losing power, and not opening. Some of these were looted, as Hoboken residents felt stranded in the 2 square-mile city. There were reports of 1,000 Xanax pills stolen at a pharmacy, gas being siphoned from cars, a local supermarket being broken into, and a construction site vandalized.

The Department of State released the annual Congressionally mandated Country Reports on Terrorism 2008 today. U.S. law requires the Secretary of State to provide Congress, by April 30 of each year, a full and complete report on terrorism with regard to those countries and groups meeting criteria set forth in the legislation.
The Country Reports on Terrorism 2008's"Strategic Assessment"chapter highlights terrorism trends and ongoing issues in 2008. This chapter sets the scene for the detailed analysis that follows. Significant achievements in border security, information sharing, transportation security, financial controls, and the killing or capture of numerous terrorist leaders have reduced the threat. But the threat remains, and state sponsorship, improved terrorist propaganda capabilities, the pursuit of weapons of mass destruction by some terrorist groups and state sponsors of terrorism, and terrorist exploitation of grievances represent ongoing challenges.
The terrorist groups of greatest concern – because of their global reach – share many of the characteristics of a global insurgency: propaganda campaigns, grass roots support, transnational ideology, and political and territorial ambitions. Responding requires a comprehensive response that focuses on recruiters and their networks, potential recruits, the local population, and the ideology. An holistic approach incorporates efforts aimed at protecting and securing the population; politically and physically marginalizing insurgents; winning the support and cooperation of at-risk populations by targeted political and development measures; and conducting precise intelligence-led special operations to eliminate critical enemy elements with minimal risk to innocent civilians.
Significant achievements in this area were made this year against terrorist leadership targets, notably the capturing or killing of key terrorist leaders in Pakistan, Iraq, and Colombia. These efforts buy us time to carry out the non-lethal and longer term elements of a comprehensive counterterrorist strategy: disrupting terrorist operations, communications, propaganda, subversion efforts, planning and fundraising, and preventing radicalization before it takes root by addressing the grievances that terrorists exploit and discrediting the ideology that provides their legitimacy. Actions that advance these strategic objectives include building and strengthening networks among governments, multilateral cooperation, business organizations, and working within civil society. It is crucial to empower credible voices and provide alternatives to joining extremist organizations.
Working with allies and partners across the world, we have created a less permissive operating environment for terrorists, keeping terrorist leaders on the move or in hiding, and degrading their ability to plan and mount attacks. Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Jordan, the Philippines, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, and many other partners played major roles in this success. Dozens of countries have continued to pass counterterrorism legislation or strengthen pre-existing laws that provide their law enforcement and judicial authorities with new tools to bring terrorists to justice. The United States has expanded the number of foreign partners with which it shares terrorist screening information. This information serves as an important tool for disrupting and tracking travel of known and suspected terrorists.

5. Terrorism isn't always just about Usama bin laden, it has many forms which the Devil has used to destroy mankind. It can be plagues, diseases, famine, chemical agents, biological, nuclear, Alfa, Beta, and Gama Particals and rays. It could be poison, or un-identified agents, Our own water resources could be a threat, or even power sources.
6. The bottom line is we all should have emergency supplies on hand for any type of event that could unfold in future. Can you plan for everything, doubtful, but you can stock up on water, food, have an emergency plan in your home in case of a fire, flood or even a chemical attack. I'm not saying run out to your hardware stores and start buying up the store, just have enough supplies on hand to take care of you and your family. Have a Medical Kit, keep important emergency phone numbers by your phone.
7. Ask the what if's... before you start to panic when a situation happens. An old saying, "Have your ducks in a row" which means have a plan, have supplies, be prepared in future, this kind of advise might save your life.
Note: Common Sense goes a long ways, faith is great, but it's a combination of the two that leads to success.

@ Donald in Virginia -- No intention to begin a religious conversation. After all, this is not the point of the topic. However, I was lost in the Bible's "translation"?
Attempting to learn inspired by your post- what the the King James Bible is, really confused me. The most LOL thing I discovered, was that as a Christian Orthodox, in my forties, I thought till today (honestly) that we (Christians) have only ONE bible (let's call it poor religion education of mine).
I understood that various translators translated and then they were translated by others. So, how we can now be sure about the way each one "interpreted" his translation, without adding his own "spiritual analysis", based on personal views, level of understanding or "interest"?
All of which made me even more confused, concerning the -let me say: Lost- translation's circle. I mean, Jesus!? too many perspectives of comparative translation, moreover of the interpretation. Of course, someone could say me: Oh come on John, it's anyway too complicated. Just think that Orthodox Churches cannot have a common calendar. They would be right to tell me so?
Don't mention Crusades? From this point of view, we Christians- were terrorists back then?
Anyway, this is not the point! (Just some thoughts of mine, and thank you that you gave me the chance to search and evaluate some things, I really didn't know).
I believe that TERRORISM is something else (I mean deeper), regularly having to do with religion (especially with fanatic Muslims), but not always. I think that terrorists can also be JUST idiots, anarchists without a religious ignition (ex. The Greek 17N), people out of law who want to make money under a so-called ideological protection they create, etc. Unfortunately, there are too many different terrorist group profiles globally.
Now, concerning the EVIL comparison you connect to terrorism, you remind me of an Eric's in NM advice we should have in mind for such description?: calling them "the Devil" (EVIL in many of their cultures means Satan) are giving them way too much credit. They are just terrorists! Nothing more! They are gangs out of law, who think that they can rule the world their way, or make money out of their actions.
If we start explaining what Good vs Bad is will give terrorists the absolute argumentation amenity to continue their actions. They will reply that, what we think as Good is their perception of bad and vise versa. And then we (westerns) lost the game. According to me: Terrorism is Terrorism/Period.
You see, if we keep on watching the FOLLOW ME Religious good/bad yellow vehicle, before landing, we will lose vital time for Taxing maneuvers and then the yellow vehicle, because we will end up crashed and burned. (CHUCKLE!)
Note: I really like your post. You inspired me to write some simple thoughts. Please don't misunderstand my fears. It has nothing to do with your thesis.
Concerning the ducks in a row saying, I absolutely agree with you, as long as we do not panic people and create a "The Day After" nightmare, or a Terrorist-Armageddon theory.
After all, in other words you are right:
- When did Noah build the Ark?
- Before the rain, before the rain.
That's why I wish you are wrong about the coming rain. But you made me think of buying an umbrella.
Best Regards Sir!
Zharkov in U.S.A. writes:
The problem with terrorism is that everyone wants to use their own definition. Congress had made that too easy.
What might be called "terrorism" in America would be "free speech" in another country, as our own Department of Homeland Security bulletins illustrate that church groups, book authors, documentary film makers, and others who wish to protest some law or government action are included under an ever-expanding DHS definition of "extremists" and even "potential terrorists".
Returning veterans from Afghanistan and Iraq have been targetted by DHS as "extremist", possibly because they once fired a weapon in defense of America and took an oath to defend the constitution?
In foreign countries, we have governments defining their opponents as "extremists", or "terrorists", merely because they have followers who oppose the policies of existing government.
The term "suspected terrorists" means one thing to us, and something completely different to other foreign leaders, as a muslim "extremist" in Indonesia may be a very respectable and devout guy, while in America, the same guy would be on an FBI watch list.
The terms used above to define insurgents, "propaganda campaigns, grass roots support, transnational ideology, and political and territorial ambitions" fit our own government precisely.
However, true terrorism involves murdering people for political gain, as had been done in dozens of countries, such as Cambodia, Vietnam, China, and elsewhere.
Real terrorism has nothing to do with mere political opposition , dissent against government policies, or whether people attend church, own guns, or believe in our constitution as the supreme law of the our land, as our own "Homeland Security" claims today.
So the terrorism bandwagon has lost a wheel or two and is now running out of control. We set this in motion and it is up to us to fix it, beginning with the Department of Homeland Security.

Former Ridge Standout Mike James Close to Returning

Wednesday's IPO: Empire State Realty Trust
The new REIT consists of 12 office properties encompassing 7.7 million square feet (around 83.5% leased) and six retail properties, consisting of four free-standing buildings that are 100% leased (excluding the Empire State Building).
The combined portfolio, encompassing around 8.4 million rentable square feet, is located in midtown Manhattan; Fairfield County, Conn.; and Westchester County, N.Y.
The most recognizable property in the REIT portfolio is the Empire State Building, constructed in 1931. At 102 stories tall, the iconic tower was the tallest tower in New York City. The building was developed by a group of prominent businessmen including John Jakob Raskob (founder of General Motors), Coleman Du Pont, Pierre S. Du Pont (president of E.I. Du Pont de Nemours), Louis G. Kaufman and Ellis P. Earle, from Empire State, Inc. and Alfred E. Smith, former governor of New York four times and presidential candidate in 1928.
Ground work for the tower commenced in 1930 and on May 31, 1931, President Hoover pressed a button that turned on the lights, officially opening the building to the public. The tower was sold a couple of times in the 1950s.
Then on Aug. 23, 1961, the building was sold to an investment group headed by Lawrence A. Wien for $65 million -- a price (which did not include the valuable Fifth Avenue land under the structure) that was believed to be the highest ever paid for a single building at that time.
In 2002, Peter L. Malkin, who has previously acquired the land from Donald Trump, purchased the actual building, making Malkin both majority owner and manager of the Empire State Building. However, Malkin was joined in complex partnership that consisted of more than 2,800 shareholders, some dating back to 1961 when Lawrence Wien was the managing partner.

- With a large library of blockbuster games the Xbox 360 is a great console for first time gamers.
- Choose exclusive titles only available on Xbox including Halo, Fable, Forza Motorsport and Titanfall.
- Play with friends and make new friends online with Xbox LIVE.
- Play games on disc or download games from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace.
Please note:
More details
Small wonder.
First you'll notice the little things. And we mean that literally. The console itself is smaller – so it'll fit neatly on the shelf.
Wi-Fi in the house.
These days, everything is wireless. The new Xbox 360 is the only console with 802.11n Wi-Fi built in. You'll fi nd an unfettered connection to the ever-expanding entertainment possibilities of Xbox LIVE – including a fast and easy way to stream HD fi lms and TV and play games with friends around the world.
Room to grow your entertainment.
While making the outside smaller, we decided to give a pretty serious boost to the inside – from huge to massive in one fell swoop. The built-in 250 GB drive has a ton of room to store fi lms, games, saves, add-ons, photos, music and anything else that you can think of. And it's removable too, just in case you ever want to take it to a friend's house.
More ports, more play.
Connect more accessories and storage solutions with added USB ports. Now with a total of 5 ports, (3 back/2 front) you'll fi nd more places to plug and play. Plus, in addition to the standard HDMI output, we've added an integrated optical audio out port for an easier connection to the booming sound of your A/V receiver.
A touching development.
It might not seem like a big deal, but the cool factor of capacitive touch buttons cannot be over stated. Everyone has grown accustomed to the non-button buttons on fancy smart phones, so we've added that functionality to the power and eject buttons.
Sounds like…
With the all-new and much quieter Xbox 360, the noise you'll hear is your own laughing, cheering and playing.
Hold on to your socks.
You're not ready. Not yet anyway. Kinect is making YOU the controller and it's going to blow you away. With a dedicated, proprietary port, the Xbox 360 250 GB is built specifi cally to connect seamlessly with the Xbox 360 Kinect Sensor – and will have you up off the sofa and into the world
The following are key features of the Xbox 360 250 GB:
- Dressed to impress: Sleek and lean in a matte black finish, the Xbox 360 250 GB comes with an internal, removable hard drive and touch-sensitive buttons for switching on/off and disk ejection.
- The Xbox 360 that you've been waiting for: Connect with a faster wireless connection than any other console2. Enjoy blazing speeds with built-in 802.11n Wi-Fi while streaming fi lms or playing games on Xbox LIVE®. Store more games and entertainment content with 250 GB of hard drive space.
- Kinect ready: Kinect will work with every Xbox 360, but the Xbox 360 250 GB console is specially designed for the easiest connection to controller-free fun. Just connect the sensor directly to the proprietary port on your console — no extra power supply needed.
- Backwards compatible: Don't worry; you'll still be able to connect the controllers and any other accessories that you already own to Xbox 360 250 GB while playing the best blockbuster games like "Halo Reach" and "Fable III". (External Xbox 360 Hard Drives and Xbox 360 Memory Units are not compatible with the new Xbox 360 console.)

They say the third time's the charm, a chance to make up for the mistakes made during the first two attempts. In the case of the Terminator franchise, this is doubly untrue. After two amazing installments by James Cameron (who created the concept, via Harlan Ellison). The third was an indifferent cash grab that recycled familiar elements from those films. It was a hit, but not a home run. Instead of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, it was The Matrix Revolutions.
Now, jump ahead a decade and we have another third. This time out, Terminator Genisys wants to reset the entire series. After Rise of the Machines, and the awful McG waste of time Salvation, the new film's narrative goes back to the beginning, back to the moment when Kyle Reese travels back in time to save Sarah Connor from the seemingly indestructible killing machine of the title. Of course, when the new version of our hero arrives, he comes across an equally new version of our heroine, and she's got an aging robot companion as her bodyguard/bestie.
