Michael Riley
sights unseen
14 July – 16 October 2006
Michael Riley 'Untitled', from the series 'cloud [angel with full wings]' taken 2000 printed 2005, pigment prints, ultrachome chromogenic inks on Ilford Gallery Pearl photographic paper, Collection of the National Gallery of Australia
Michael Riley (1960–2004) was one of the most important contemporary Indigenous visual artists of the past two decades, and his contribution to the urban-based Indigenous visual arts industry was substantial. His emotive film and video work challenged non-Indigenous perceptions of Indigenous experience, particularly of the most disenfranchised communities in the south-eastern region of Australia.
Michael Riley: sights unseen reveals the prolific talents of a quiet observer whose photomedia, video and film continues to have a profound effect on Australia's contemporary representation and comprehension of Indigenous Australia.
This landmark exhibition is the first major survey of Michael Riley's work and has been organised by the National Gallery of Australia, on view from 14 July to 16 October, before touring Australian regional galleries as part of the Gallery's travelling exhibitions program.
Brenda L Croft, Senior Curator of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art, has worked closely with Riley's family, friends and colleagues to draw together a comprehensive body of work, charting the vision and experience of one of the country's most significant visual artists, chronicling a period of intense cultural development and achievement.
Riley brought a singularly Indigenous visual language to the forefront of international contemporary art, as was highlighted by his selection for and high profile in the 2003 Istanbul Biennial: Poetic justice.
Riley's work draws on a multiplicity of influences: European and western (particularly British and North American) Indigenous and non-Indigenous film-making; international fashion and design; and Indigenous and European spirituality and its contradictions. His portraits of family and community were the antithesis of the bleak photojournalist studies of contemporary Aboriginal life in towns and cities so often portrayed in print media of the day, with the obvious warmth between subject and photographer evident in the photographs. Throughout all Riley's work is a sense of exploration of media to represent the diverse aspects of contemporary Aboriginal life in the south-east accurately.
His first conceptual body of work was the languidly beautiful series of 15 gelatin silver images comprising Sacrifice 1993. It is in this series that the symbol of the cross – that most potent of Christian icons – first appeared, looming large against a turbulent sky. Christianity is a subject to which Riley returned again in later work, such as in the flyblown series of 1998 and the commissioned short film Empire in 1997.
Riley's images reflect what he has described as the 'sacrifices Aboriginal people made to be Christian'. They resonate with loss – experienced not only by the individual, but by entire Indigenous communities – 'loss' of culture and land in an enforced and sometimes embraced 'exchange' for Christianity.
Considered one of Australia's most important contemporary artists, many of his films won awards at national and international festivals. Riley's work is represented in various major public and private collections throughout Australia.
In early 1998 a debilitating illness impacted on the artist's professional and personal life. Riley's last and most significant body of work, cloud 2001, shifted from terra firma to otherworldly locations concerns.
Michael Riley: sights unseen will not only profile Riley's most recognised photomedia, films and video work, but will also present some images previously unseen in the public domain. It will be accompanied by a monograph, illustrated in full colour, with text by renowned Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australian contributors.
I want to get away from the ethnographic image of Aboriginal people in magazines. A lot of images you see … are like Aboriginal people living in humpies, or drunk on the street or …marching in protests. There's nothing wrong with that, but I want to … show young Aboriginal people in the cities today; a lot of them [are] very sophisticated and [a] lot of them very glamorous. A lot of them have been around the world and have an air of sophistication which you don't see coming across in newspapers and [television] programs. I'm just talking about positive things really, positive images of Aboriginal people.Michael Riley, 1993

At the same time, Dulcie's brother Rick walks back into her life, the man who she longed for all those years ago...Agnes is comforted by the loving arms of her caring train driver fiance Ted. And Sally could not be happier with her talented surgeon boyfriend at her side, especially since he's risked his life to visit her at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Eve. For Tilly's mother, Olive, the cold heart that had been frozen since her partner died, is beginning to thaw. But the man she pines for is betrothed to another. The net curtains on the well-to-do Article Row have been twitching, and prying eyes have seen the way she's been looking at Sergeant Dawson...When the clock strikes midnight at the Hammersmith Palais, three couples stare deeply into their lovers' eyes. The confident and stunningly beautiful East Ender, Dulcie, is left alone once more, abandoned by her boyfriend at this most precious of precious moments. But the women of No. 13 Article Row know that joy is short lived in the London of 1941. It's a treacherous place, especially for the tender-hearted.

The Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicle (PPV) was the first SUV designed from its inception as a law enforcement vehicle. It is ideal for standard patrol, HAZMAT, K9, medical first responder and tactical operations. It joins the Chevrolet Caprice Police Patrol Vehicle, Impala Police Vehicle, Chevrolet Tahoe Special Service and Chevrolet Express Prisoner Transport Van in Chevrolet's lineup of law enforcement vehicles.
The 2WD Chevrolet Tahoe PPV has a number of features that sets it apart from its civilian counterpart. Tahoe PPV is lower to the ground, delivering improved handling, especially at high speeds. The front and rear suspensions feature stiffer springs and shocks, and there's also a stiffer jounce bumper more ideally suited for police loads.
The Tahoe PPV is also a comfortable place for officers, with an ergonomic rating that tops all other police vehicles – including the Explorer-based Ford Police Interceptor Utility – according to Michigan State Police testing. The agency ranked vehicles in 28 categories, ranging from front seat comfort and ease of entry/egress to outward visibility, control accessibility and more. The Tahoe scored higher than the Ford utility in 25 categories and tied it in two others. It also ranked higher than the Taurus-based Ford Police Interceptor and Dodge Charger.
Tahoe PPV is powered by the Vortec 5.3L V-8 engine delivering 320 horsepower (238 kW) and 335 lb.-ft. of torque (452 Nm). The Vortec 5.3L features Active Fuel Management™ technology, resulting in improved fuel economy, and can operate on fuel that contains up to 85 percent ethanol. The 5.3L V-8 is mated to a fuel-efficient, heavy-duty six-speed automatic transmission.
To support the high speeds sometimes required by law enforcement pursuit vehicles, the Tahoe PPV wears V-rated, P265/60R17 blackwall Goodyear RSA steel belt radial tires, mounted on 17-inch, steel wheels. Tahoe PPV also receives heavy-duty cooling – thanks to a higher capacity radiator and engine oil cooler – and heavy-duty brakes with ABS. StabiliTrak electronic stability control system with Proactive Roll Avoidance and traction control is standard. The system also incorporates electronic trailer sway control and hill start assist.
For underbody protection, Tahoe PPV features a Skid Plate Package that includes a front underbody shield that starts behind the front bumper and runs to the first cross-member. The Skid Plate Package protects such vital vehicle components as the oil pan and other drivetrain parts.
Additional standard equipment on Tahoe PPV includes a 26-gallon fuel tank, 160-amp alternator, a 660 CCA battery with run-down protection and extended-life spark plugs. Dual 660 CCA batteries are also available. A fully integrated electrical system makes it easier for upfitters to install such police-specific equipment as light bars and police radios. This helps save time and money associated with vehicle upfits.
For 2013, the capabilities of the Tahoe PPV are greater, with a higher GVWR of 6,800 pounds (3,084 kg) and higher payload of 1,500 pounds (680 kg).
Two new exterior colors are available for 2013: Champagne Silver Metallic and Blue Ray Metallic (late availability).
Tahoe Police performance
Tahoe Police is an SUV that offers acceleration and braking performance comparable to many police cars. During Michigan State Police's annual benchmark evaluation of police vehicles (2012 models), the Tahoe turned in the following performance numbers:
Tahoe PPV exterior features
Tahoe interior standard and available features
With its second-row seats fully upright, Tahoe PPV delivers 60.3 cubic feet (1,708 liters) of cargo capacity for such items as gun cases, hazardous materials equipment and other gear and materials that law enforcement officers may require to perform their tasks. The second-row seats may be individually folded forward, adding even more cargo capacity. Tahoe PPV delivers 108.9 cubic feet (3,084 liters) of cargo capacity.
Additional interior features include:
Tahoe PPV powertrain
The Tahoe PPV is powered by the Vortec 5.3L V-8 that balances power and efficiency. Variable valve timing helps the 5.3L optimize performance, efficiency and emissions, while GM's Active Fuel Management cylinder deactivating technology helps improve fuel economy in certain light-load driving conditions. It is also E85-capable and matched with GM's Hydra-Matic 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission.
The variable valve timing system allows linear delivery of torque, with near-peak levels over a broad rpm range, and high specific output (horsepower per liter of displacement). It also helps reduce exhaust emissions. Because it manages valve overlap at optimum levels, it eliminates the need for an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system.
GM's Active Fuel Management technology increases fuel economy approximately 6 percent under the federal government's required testing procedure and potentially more in certain real-world driving conditions. AFM temporarily deactivates four of the engine's cylinders under light load conditions and seamlessly reactivates them when full power is required. The transition takes less than 20 milliseconds and is virtually indiscernible.
E85 is a clean-burning, domestically produced alternative fuel composed of 85 percent ethanol alcohol and 15 percent gasoline. Ethanol is renewable and produces fewer greenhouse gases during the combustion process.
Tahoe PPV chassis and suspension
The Tahoe is built on GM's full-size SUV platform, incorporating a fully boxed frame, coil-over-shock front suspension, multi-link with coil springs rear suspension and rack-and-pinion steering. The stiff frame reduces vibrations transmitted to the passenger cabin, while the strength and accuracy of the fully boxed frame also enable precise mounting and tuning of chassis and suspension components.
Wide front and rear tracks – 68.2 inches (1,732 mm) front/67 inches (1,702 mm) rear – enhance handling and vehicle stability for a more confident road feel. A heavy-duty four-wheel disc brake system is standard.
Additional features include:
Tahoe PPV safety and crash avoidance features
Chevrolet Tahoe has a strong body structure that is designed to absorb crash energy and provide a protective "safety cage" around occupants. Head curtain side air bags with rollover protection for both seating rows are standard, as are seat-mounted side-impact air bags for driver and right-front passenger that provide thorax and pelvic protection. The roof-mounted head curtain air bags include design features that provide increased rollover protection and occupant containment.
Additional safety features include:

Tries from Manoa Vosawai, Michele Rizzo and Simone Favaro led Treviso to a 30-10 win over Edinburgh at the Stadio Monigo on Friday.
Tries from Manoa Vosawai, Michele Rizzo and Simone Favaro led Treviso to a 30-10 win over Edinburgh at the Stadio Monigo on Friday.
A penalty from Greig Laidlaw and his conversion of centre Matt Scott's try handed Edinburgh a 10-0 lead in Italy after just 13 minutes, but ill-discipline crept into their game and mid-table Treviso eventually went into half-time three points to the good.
Fly-half Alberto Di Bernardo, the former Leeds player, missed his first two attempts at goal, but he eventually put the home side on the scoreboard 26 minutes in.
Di Bernardo added a second penalty and then converted a try from replacement Manoa Vosawai, while Tom Brown was in the sin-bin, to hand Treviso a 13-10 half-time advantage.
The third quarter was scoreless until Di Bernardo atoned for another miss at goal with his third penalty of the night on 57 minutes. Treviso continued to use their bench well and a try from replacement Michele Rizzo followed on the hour-mark, just 10 minutes after he had taken to the field.
An out-of-sorts Edinburgh struggled to find a response even when Treviso pair, Fernandez-Rouyet and Edoardo Gori, were both shown yellow cards within the space of four minutes.
Edinburgh's toothless attack failed to make their two-man advantage count and it was Treviso who had the final word when flanker Simone Favaro crossed the line in stoppage time. Di Bernardo added the extras to make it 30-10.

"Great function, great form"
By None from Honolulu, Hi
Why anyone would use curtains or Venetian blinds or vertical blinds or drapes or any other style of window covering is beyond me. These blinds fit our style. They filter the sun, giving us more than enough light while eliminating hot spots in our Honolulu home. Easy to install, easy to raise and lower, and easy on the eyes, the blinds are a great product.View this product
"Highest quality"
By Karen from Buffalo, NY
I've made the mistake of purchasing roller shades from other online vendors and will never make that mistake again. This is the 4th order I've now placed with Blindsgalore and I couldn't be happier. The light filtering blinds do exactly what they say they'll do - filter light. You get privacy from the blinds but the glow of sunlight behind it. Exactly what we wanted for our living room.View this product

|In response to Re: help, outdoor hose bib leak
: : One of our outdoor hose bibs is leaking from the spot (more than dribbling) even when it is turned off all the way. I've read that the washer probably just needs changing but due to some circumstances I'm unable to fix it for a few days. Would it be ok to just hook up a hose with a regular garden sprayer attatchment (the kind where you have to squeeze a lever to water the garden)to the leaking hose bib for a few days or longer? We are getting lows in the 20's lately. Would doing this cause any problems with the pipes, water pressure or freezing, etc.? If not and this is an ok temporary fix, could I just cover the hose bib, hose and spray attatchment with a blanket? Thanks for any info. or advice!
: GB: are you sure there is no "shut-off valve" located just before this pipe goes out side? Hube

Hey.. just dropped in to find out how it's going with school? I have been kind of out of commisssion on the boards becuz this semester is really tought for me, but I was thinking about you and wanted to give you encouragement. I think we are kind of in the same situation (I'm 49- will be 50 in December) and it can be really tiring because sometimes you feel like you are all alone in this because no one else can understand what this school thing means to you (I know you are taking care of everyone else..) So-- I just wanted to send you some love and hugs because you're fantastic! Luv ya!
hiya, I hope all is well with you . My graphics are not working today, but I wish you a great week. Hugs, Teresa

Matthew Cock, Head of web, British Museum
In a recent post, I wrote about the launch of our new collection search beta. Well, we've now gone a bit further, and released an overhaul of the 'advanced search' functionality.
At heart, it works the same as before – users begin their search by selecting the 'controlled terms' that are used by our curators and cataloguers when creating the records, and retrieve all objects in the database that have been tagged with that term, or set of terms in combination. So, for example, you can find groups of objects for any combinations of terms – all the prints made in Japan between AD 1800 and 1835 perhaps, or all objects from London, Exeter and Glasgow made of bronze and so on.
Most of the lists of terms are also structured in hierarchies – for example, Paris is under France – so a search for objects from France retrieves all objects tagged with France, and any objects tagged with one of the many place names that are nested under France. In addition, we allow people to filter on the different 'associations' after they have made a search, for example, they can choose whether or not to include objects based on whether they are made by, attributed to, a depiction of, an artist.
In the current collection search interface (launched 2007), the user had to follow quite a process to build up their search terms and get to a page of results, and the interface wasn't very intuitive. Only a small proportion of people used the advanced search, and most people we talked to said it wasn't obvious how to use it.
There are two main changes that we have made to improve it. Firstly, we are using "auto-complete" – so that as you write the first few letters of your search term, a set of possible complete terms is shown based on the terms that we have in the database, along with some description so you can be sure it is the term you intended (for example, dates to help distinguish several artists with the same surname).
Secondly, we have kept the search criteria and the results showing on the same page. The user doesn't have to travel back and forth between different pages to update their search.
We're very aware that we have been looking at this for quite a while, and it is about time it was let loose and tested in the wild. We are really interested in any comments or questions that you have on how it works – whether you are a regular user, or using it for the first time. We hope to release this as the main interface to the collection database in the Spring.
Please add a comment below, or email us at email@example.com and include COL Beta in the subject line.

Inconsiderate, Reckless, or Just Plain Dumb
Last week I had my second experience of nearly killing a kid in a crosswalk on Main Street in Huntington. My father often quoted to me, "God watches out for fools and little children." The older I got, the more he began to add, "You're not little children any more." It took a while to figure that one out.
On both my near misses, kids were crossing this busy highway in the dark, wearing dark clothing, arrogantly, or foolishly, playing chicken with traffic. Other cars were coming in the distance with lights shining in my eyes. I could not see the pedestrians at all. With lights shining in my eyes, they were completely invisible. On both instances the kids crossed between me and the car headlights coming in the distance. The interrupted, on-coming headlight is the only thing that alerted me that something was in the road. I only discovered it was a human being after I began braking.
The first occasion occurred just before complete darkness, but all vehicles had their headlights on. I was driving the speed limit in the right-hand lane with a car following me. The very brief interruption of the oncoming headlight inspired a brake tap. I discovered a single young kid marching right out in front of traffic. When I discovered him, I slammed on my brakes and nearly got rear-ended by the car behind me. The kid turned sideways and backed across the highway with his hands out at his sides in a "what are you thinking" gesture. He probably fit in the group between "fools and little children." Lucky for him, God was still watching out for him on both levels.
When I finally started breathing again and got my blood pressure back out of the stroke range, I moved slowly down the highway shaking like a leaf in a hurricane. Then, I was angry. I wanted to go back, shake some sense into his non-functioning brain and haul him home to his parents to hand over a living, breathing kid and explain lessons on wearing reflective or at least light colored clothing, common sense, and courtesy. Better judgment prevailed, and I went home. I had nightmares about running over a kid and killing him.
Last week was nearly a mirror image. It was even the exact same crosswalk. The difference was that it was much later and darker and there were five or six of them, and they were all boys and girls dressed in very dark clothing, not a speck of reflection or white anywhere on them. This time I turned on my interior light and gave them the arms out "what are you thinking" gesture. They were not little children. They were certainly teenagers-probably pre-drivers-license-age. So, if they were not "little children"... they fit in the other category God protects.
I know, as does every licensed driver, that pedestrians have the right of way. These youths may have been lulled into a sense of security with that same knowledge. Additionally, every driver in Huntington just before school, at lunch, or after school has been stopped by the school crossing guard. Thank goodness for school crossing guards. But, that school crossing may also give young people a false sense of security about crossing a busy highway at any time.
I judge myself a safe, careful driver. I have a Commercial Driver's License and am qualified to drive a school bus. I have better than 20/20 corrected eyesight, and I still have excellent hearing. The only wreck I have ever been in while operating a vehicle is getting plowed into by a BYU coed talking on her cell phone. I'm thinking a kid would be pretty safe crossing in front of me in the daylight.
I spent my life working with kids. I cannot imagine living with the idea that I had run over one. Please mothers and dads and young people all over the county teach that using a little courtesy and common sense while crossing a busy street in the dark might save a life, your life. Wait a bit; wear lighter, reflective clothing, traffic will break, and you can cross safely and live to tell about it.

Top Dem admits ObamaCare could have been 'more precise' about people losing health plans
Published October 29, 2013 FoxNews.com
A top Democratic official conceded Tuesday that the health care overhaul should have been "more precise" in acknowledging the possibility that some Americans would lose their current insurance plans -- even as the White House defended its past statements on the law.
The admission from House Democratic Leader Steny Hoyer comes after a 2010 document emerged that predicted millions might be dropped by their providers.
The document helped explain why thousands are already getting cancellation notices and being guided toward new plans. It also gave new meaning to Nancy Pelosi's infamous remark, shortly before the complex legislation was approved in March 2010, that "we have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it."
Hoyer said Tuesday that officials knew some health plans would not qualify under the new ObamaCare regulations. He said the overall message to the public was accurate -- just not precise enough.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
More precise HA they intended to deceive. Let the outraged deceived roar.
Could have been honest.
"Mistakes were made"?
These guys wouldn't recognize the truth if it whacked them in the PP.
Democrats didn't know. No one told them.
Actually, "accuracy" is the quality of being as close to the real or actual value as possible; in this case, the real value is the absolute truth.
"Precision" is the ability to recreate or repeat a level of accuracy multiple times.
So, if we take Old Steny at his word, then Obama is both a liar, and a chronic liar, as he was neither accurate, nor, according by Hoyer, precise enough.
Sign zee papers.
On a related note, I'm thoroughly enjoying the Obamacare threads over at DU where anyone pissed at the administration over this fiasco is accused of being a right-wing troll.
"Look, we needed to do this but you would never have agreed if we told you the truth, so we had to lie. But it's really for your own good. You'll understand and thank us for it later."
Does anyone really think that the timing here is incidental? That all this crappola is suddenly being splashed on the front pages and blaring from the TV sets now? With the midterms exactly one year away and the nationals a good three years away?
This is a classic exercise in damage control. They get the bad news out and have plenty of time to talk it to death, minimize the negative impacts, and by the time the elections roll around in the future, it's all "old news".
we couldn't know how precise it was until we voted for it.
Every Democrat needs to be voted out of office— The party should be punished for slavishly following Obama. Same with the MSM—No one should by their Propaganda Papers or watch their TV news. No one should buy from the people who sponsor their lies. Boycott the Party and MSM of Lies and Anti-Americanism.
Do we have to be "more precise" doing our taxes?
"They get the bad news out "
I do think this is worse news than they wanted to admit to.
Did they want to insult their believers this badly?? ok of necessity they did — thought the believers would not notice as much as they have noticed . . .
so let us help the former deluded believers REMEMBER come a month or a year from now. Makes great theatre too!
Wish I were better at utube etc. I have an imagination about costumes for ObamaScare == this 31 Oct is a great opportunity to use satire and humor to place o Scare in its place. Too bad I do not have the media or video skills to launch it.
More precise than "nobody"? That's crazy and silly.
It was a lie, not an imprecise statement.
This is nothing short of a lie. If this was any corporation there would be people already in jail.
Those people are evil. Plain and simple.
Satan is the Father of lies. And lying runs rampant in the Democ-RAT party.
I agree with you.
but: [paraphrasing] ours was to do or die, not to reason why; charge of the Light Brigade . . .
For this time, let them fall on their own swords of hubris for this o scare monstrosity; we do reason why and we will not die for o care lies.
How could they know? They haven't read the plan. How could obama know? He hasn't read the plan.
If they haven't read the plan, it's not their fault for not understanding it. /s
"...Every Democrat needs to be voted out of office..."
Ain't only the Dems, friend. Plenty of RINO assh*les who help them at every opportunity.
And as long as half the country votes for the American Communist Insurgency - AKA the Democrats - don't count on them all being thrown out.
Perhaps a better strategy is for our side to LEARN how to stonewall, impede, block, and otherwise stall anything and everything they do when we have the means to do so.
Boehner and his ilk need to go; they could have stonewalled Obamacare by funding everything else except it, over and over. He lost his nerve - what little he had.
BINGO Ronin, I've posted this same message several times on other threads.. It's the same with HRC, and Benghazi, get it out now, and out of the way..
"People believed the President and now you are being critical of them for doing so?
While you might like it, this is really very VERY simple. The President made a point of repeatedly saying something that turns out not to be even remotely true. The change might be understandable, it might even be for the better, but it was still not true. People should be able to trust what their elected representatives tell them, and when it turns out that those representatives were not telling them the truth they are going to be pissed off — and you can bet your ass the media is going to report it gleefully.
That's reality. Short and sweet, if you don't want people angry at you for lying there is a very simple solution. "
from an angry DU poster
"Yes, I think this one is going to leave a mark.
I don't think it's the end of his presidency, but this one hits people squarely in their personal life and for some upsets their choices. "
another angry DU poster
"Our cancelled plan was NOT crappy nor cheap
Have a small business. 6 employees plus myself. Everyone over 50. Most over 60. Those with kids ... The kids are grown with insurance of their own.
But our policy will not be renewed we have been informed because it does not cover maternity care nor pediatric vision and both are now required.
Really?!?!? We insure a bunch of near senior citizens. Requiring maternity and pediatric vision also requires a miracle of Biblical proportions. If it came to pass that we DID need maternity care and pediatric vision we could sell the "Miracle Birth" story to the National Enquirer for more money than the medical care cost!!!
We pay more in premiums because we are old. Fair enough. The probability of one of us needing healthcare is greater than a 25 year old. I get that. But the same logic should allow us to NOT buy insurance for an event whose probability (also because we are old) is now ZERO.
But regardless of logic, our policy won't be renewed. Looking at much higher premiums and/or deductibles.
Go figure. "
another DU poster who sounds more like a freeper
There are those with eyes who can see and ears which can hear and they are NOT drinking the cool aid.
"Top Dem admits ObamaCare could have been 'more precise' about people losing health plans'
Right. And it took 'em only 3.5 years to figure that out. Wonder why it took so long? Oh, yeah, right. A realityberg gob smacked 'em up the side of the face and they had too figure out a new lie.

They probably would have known this if they had bothered to read the thing before voting on it. I guess they were too busy swooning over pelosi....
Go ahead Dems, and admit that Obamacare is going to cost more too. Where's the savings? So people lose what they want, and pay more for what they don't want and don't need. No wonder the government has to force people to buy Obama's product, otherwise no one would touch it. It sucks.
So0 "lieing" now means "not being more precise". These commie DIMocRATs are something else. These bums should be in prison.
So "lieing" now means "not being more precise". These commie DIMocRATs are something else. These bums should be in prison.
Lyin' mofo.
If I recall right, Biblically, Satan told half-truths too.
True, only 10 million lose their plan but 10 ARE able to keep theirs.
What difference, at this point, does it make?
I'm gonna need some painkillers and medical marijuana by the truckload to get through this. This is almost enough to make me want states to move to legalize cocaine, speed, LSD, Ecstasy and Crystla meth. This is crushing my spirit and my spirit is pretty crushed to begin with.
-Ken Lay, 2002
Right behind subjective and situational definitions of terms.
Let the frog marching begin.
I once pointed out some of obama's stupid statements to an obama lover and his response was "He didn't mean it."
My experience with Obama lovers is the same, it doesn't matter what it is. One told me they figure they have to "protect" him no matter what because of all the Republican lies, so it doesn't seem to matter. It defies logic.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
this is to gather info from those who still play and also from those who quit playing. my personal reason for quitting is the itemization is so horrible. I HAVE spent 10 hours a day farming with no results, while others spend 30 minutes one day and find an item worth 50 billion gold (exagerrating of course). the point is... RMAH... lol ok not really, but it's why Blizzard made the RMAH.
The REAL point is... you have to be lucky. It's literally like the odds of winning the lottery of that 500 mil jackpot (even 500 mil... 4 months into the game... is almost like pocket change for botters or those lucky guys).
Bots, itemization, Jay Wilsons crappy design to name a few.
I have no idea what your last selection means. The D3 team just implemented what Jay and the art director wanted. They couldn't turn it into a good game.
I quit because I got tired of running the same story 3 times only to find out the 4th time wasn't any better. This made making alts all the more painful. Also, it kinda sucks to start off as a mob smashing demigod only to become a 100pound weakling in inferno, I would of prefered a Torchlight approach where difficulty can be set prior to starting a new character, this makes you feel like you're progressing. Playing the highest difficulty in Torchlight is actually fun and rewarding, something you don't get out of D3.
Currently playing: AoC, RIFT, Champions Online, DDO, LORTO, STO and Tribes: Ascend
Have Played: TSW, SWG, AO, EVE, WOW, EQ, EQ2, SW:TOR, GW,CoH, DCUO, RotMG, WAR,

And you are quite sure we are able to even agree on what "MMO style grind" means?
Anyways, this poll needs multiple choices, in a way or a other i could check every single one of the options, in the end they all contribute, some more some less and some only combined.
Flame on!
My gosh, there is so much that is not reflected in the poll. I left because of:
-Having to be online all the time.
-Lag at times that made the game unfun.
-Lack of character customization, lack of need or rolling alts therefore not a lot of replayability once you finish inferno on one class.
-Poor itemization and AH/RMAH mechanics. Items are boring too.
-Over-emphasis of the story, and the story is pretty bad.
-Poor account security.
-Lack of randomization of maps which again means less replayability.
-Crafting is piss poor and requires dropped pages. No gambling, no transmuter, etc.
Lack of customization.
The Skill System does not allow different builds like it was possible in D2 imo.
i.e. FoH, Hammerdin, Fana-Zealot Paladin - 1 class, 3 completely different playstyles.

There are literally hundreds of TVs out on the Australian market that canvas all types of size, technology, designed and price range. There's something not just for every living room, but also for every type of person.
UHDTV, sometimes referred to as '4K', is not a display type
in the same sense, but a new resolution standard - a progression on from 720p
and 1080p (aka Full HD). This offers double the number of pixels in each
dimension, resulting in a pixel count four times that of 1080p. '8K'
technologies are also in development, but 4K TVs are what we are beginning to
see on the high street.
Is Smart TV
Now that image quality and size are dealt with, you need to
think about secondary features. And one of the most important is Smart TV.
Each of the major manufacturers - Samsung, Panasonic, LG,
Philips, Toshiba, Sony - has its own Smart TV portal. These give you access to
great apps with the best of the lot coming from Panasonic, Sony and Samsung.
However, to use them you'll need to get connected -
obviously. If your router is nearby where your TV will live, it's no problem as
an Ethernet port will be on the back of the set. If not you'll need to use
Wi-Fi but it normally doesn't come built into TVs. You can usually get a Wi-Fi
USB dongle from the makers.

I am having some potting mix issues.
After my anti Miracle Gro rant I have been testing some different mixes. One of them is Organic Mechanics, made in Pennsylvania. It has an impressive organic pedigree. Most of the chatter about it on the web is self generated by the media-savvy company, so I am curious to hear from gardeners who use it. In theory, it is wonderful. Bizarrely, it is stocked locally by the deli around the corner, at the head of Bergen Street, on Court.
It is far too early to write a review of the potting mix as a growing season ought to be pass, first. So far, though, I am not enamoured of their seed starting mix. It has mulch-like chunks of bark in it (above, with cucumber seed), which I find myself picking out. Whether or not the chunks affect a seed's ability to push through to the light is perhaps debatable - plants do it in the wild all the time. But seed starting mix suggests, to me, smooth friability. I had the same to say after last year's experiment with the awful Miracle Gro organic mix (in which my seedlings later turned yellow). The organic product I have liked best so far, is still Whitney Farms. Owned by...you guessed it: Big Blue Brother. Oy. And I have also used some Fafard Complete Planting Mix, which I love. But it contains peat.
I like the Lower East Side Ecology Center's worm compost, but I aint' going to hop on the subway every time I need some. It would be wonderful if it was stocked by local stores. I have already begged two hardware stores to have organic options available and we'll see. Now I'm off to GRDN to see what they have in stock (and I need another clematis, a boxwood and extras). I asked about grow bags there recently and the sales girl told me that grow bags didn't "go with the aesthetic of GRDN". Really? I wonder if she knew what they are. But I didn't feel like pursuing it. I am increasingly drawn to them, for lightweight edible growing, and as a plastic-alternative.
(For more about why peat is an undesirable ingredient read this post at Garden Rant written by Ken Druse.)

Canada finishes seventh at NORCECA youth championships
GUADALAJARA, Mexico – Taylor Lebo scored 15 points to help Canada to a come from behind five-set victory over Costa Rica on Saturday at the NORCECA men's youth volleyball championships. With the victory Canada ends the nine-country tournament with a 2-2 record and seventh place.
The Canadians, represented by Calgary's under-17 Canuck Contact team, took the match 25-24, 16-25, 22-25, 25-20, 15-9. It's the first match in the entire tournament to last more than three sets.
Besides Lebo, other top Canadian scorers were Matthew Silver with 14 and Scott Brunet (pictured) with 12.
"Both teams brought a lot of energy," said Canadian team captain William Bremner. "You could feel the adrenaline."
After dropping their opening two matches to powerhouses Cuba and the U.S., the Canadians rallied by winning their last two.
"It was fun to play such a close match," said Canadian coach Don Saxton. "I was happy with the energy we brought. Today was different for us as we got more aggressive with the attack, though we had some trouble defending against of the attacks from our rivals."
The other Canadian team members are: Brett Walsh, Brian Prigden, Alex Cook, Luke Rauwarda, Sean Martin, Evan Morrow, Matt Traynor and Matt Honeychurch.
The medal matches conclude the tournament on Sunday.

Licensed Professional Counselor
20 Old Plank Rd. Suite 100, Washington, Pennsylvania 15301
Chances are, your child is somewhat resistant to the idea of meeting with a counselor. I specialize in over-coming that resistance through the use of humor, silliness, and age appropriate anecdotes. Some counselors will spend a lot of time playing with your child--I won't. I'll certainly make them laugh during the process, but therapy with me won't be about us just "hanging out" and playing a board game together. You can also know that I would never undermine your authority as the parent. I believe that parents are to be respected, and, yes, obeyed. In addition to working with your child, I can also show you some ways to get your child's behavior within acceptable parameters.

Tournament-tested by some of the top pro's in bass fishing, including Scott Martin and Brandon McMillan, the Bruiser Baits Hog channels a classic creature bait design and adds some key improvements of its own. A deadly flip bait, its streamlined body allows it to slip in and out of cover with ease, and once it penetrates cover and gets in front of bass, it opens up with tails waving and appendages flapping - generating vicious reaction strikes. The Bruiser Baits Hog features a ribbed body for a more lifelike feel when bass bite down, as well as, two unique diamond-shaped flappers, two long tentacles, and two smaller appendages near the top of the bait that all help slow its descent and create commotion in the water. Available in a range of proven colors, the Bruiser Baits Hog is also a great choice on a Carolina-rig or cut down as a jig trailer - your imagination is the only limitation.

Comments: Took this bait out last week and flipped bushes and laydowns. The water had just come up into the cover. This bait was the perfect size to get into the bushes(4") and was not overly bulky. The tails really moved without much effort, I'm guessing because they point outward. Only went through four baits all day and I caught around 25 bass.

MGT405: Critical Infrastructure Protection
The critical infrastructure of a nation is the system of highly complex and interdependent physical and cyber-based assets essential to the minimum operations of a nation's economy and government. It includes, but is not limited to, communications, energy, banking and finance, transportation, water supply, and emergency services. It could be owned and operated by the government or the private sector, or both. Much of our nation's critical infrastructure has historically been physically and logistically separated; they were systems that had little interdependence. But as a result of advances in information technology over the past several decades and the necessity of improved efficiency, these systems and assets have become increasingly automated and interlinked. Unfortunately, these same advances have created new vulnerabilities to equipment failure, human error, weather and other natural causes, and physical and cyber attacks. Addressing these vulnerabilities requires flexible and evolutionary approaches that span both the public and private sectors and protect both domestic and international security.
Because of imbalances in military strengths, our future enemies - including nations, groups, or individuals - may seek to harm us in non-traditional ways, such as attacks within our country against our critical infrastructure. Our economy is increasingly reliant upon interdependent and cyber-supported infrastructures, making attacks on our infrastructure and information systems capable of significantly harming both our military power and our economy. This new threat is visible in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in 1993 and 2001, Timothy McVeigh's truck bomb attack on the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City in 1995, natural events (such as category five hurricanes), and the growing number of cyber espionage attacks against the military, civil government, and the private sector in the past few years.
This course begins by examining in depth the events of the past 20 years, including the lessons learned about the interdependencies of the critical infrastructures following the Oklahoma City bombing and the terrorist attacks against the World Trade Center and what we learned in the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the summer of 2005. While there are many cross-sector interdependencies to consider, we will focus on the dependence of the various infrastructure sectors on the Internet and the impact of highly complex computer controlled systems. We will also discuss the creation of the US Department of Homeland Security and its role in protecting the nation's critical infrastructures from cyber intrusions.
Authored and presented by one of the nation's leading experts on critical infrastructure protection and cyber warfare, you will receive detailed explanations of specific pervasive Internet technical problems and conduct in-depth examinations of the types of attacks that might do the most harm to your organization and your infrastructure sector. We will take a comprehensive look at the current Internet governance model, and you will learn how to develop business continuity and disaster recovery plans to counter current cyber threats and threat actors that take advantage of this model. You will also gain knowledge about the new directions being taken by criminals, terrorists, spies, and nation states and what our nation is planning to do for the defense of our critical infrastructure against these new threats. Finally, you will learn how to protect your networks from the dangers lurking in cyberspace while developing a full understanding of emerging techniques used to detect and contain outbreaks of malicious activity on the Internet.
This class is designed to give the student a full examination of the scope of critical infrastructure vulnerabilities, the dependence of critical infrastructures on the Internet, and Internet security problems. No laptop is required, but the subject material requires at least a working knowledge of computer networks and business decision making. The ideal student is a manager, supervisor, senior engineer, or other professional with a strong working knowledge of plant operations or a government official with responsibilities for CIP policy development wanting to learn more about the interdependence of critical infrastructures and the dangers posed by the global Internet.

Richfield was selected from more than 300 submissions in which five winners and "The People's Choice Winner" are recognized for displaying exemplary support to military families
Richfield city councilman Mike Turner who led the bid in the Joining Forces Community Challenge told the Salt Lake Tribune "the community's win was "fantastic." Turner, his wife and three others from Richfield will be in Washington, D.C., Wednesday morning for a ceremony on the White House lawn.
The announcement comes in advance of the one-year anniversary of the launch of Joining Forces, the national initiative started by the first lady and Dr. Biden to support and honor America's service members and their families.
The Joining Forces Community Challenge, launched in July, captured the innovative ways Americans have stepped up to support and honor military families.
The Joining Forces Community Challenge winners are:
* City of Richfield, Utah. The city has supported its local Army National Guard unit through four deployments since Sept. 11, 2001. Additionally, Richfield provides several programs and services for military families, including a city utility abatement program and distribution of the city's newspaper to deployed soldiers so they can stay in touch with the community. The Richfield community has contributed more than $250,000 in monetary and in-kind donations to build a Veterans Memorial.
* Our Family for Families First Foundation, East Greenwich, Rhode Island, was also chosen as the "People's Choice Winner." The foundation supports military families pursuing higher education by supporting military children through scholarships and military spouses through grants and assistance identifying educational opportunities. Since 2006, Our Family for Families First has provided more than 20,000 hours of outreach in communities surrounding seven military installations, and its scholarship program has given more than $3.5 million in direct scholarship and grant awards to the children and spouses of active duty service members. John G. Picerne, president and chief executive officer of Picerne Military Housing, created the effort.
* Armed Forces Service Center, St. Paul, Minnesota. The service center is a 24/7 "all free" lounge staffed by volunteers at the Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport for active-duty military personnel, their families, activated reservists and National Guardsmen and other members of the uniformed services. Maggie Purdum founded the center in 1970 after her son was killed in action in Vietnam. More than 766,800 active duty service members have passed through the center since its inception, and more than 25,800 military family members have been served since Sept. 11, 2001.
* Defending the Blue Line, Hastings, Minnesota. This organization works to ensure that children of military members have access to participate in hockey through free equipment, hockey camps, special events and financial assistance toward association and other hockey-related costs. Since it was founded by two Minnesota National Guard soldiers in 2009, more than 3,000 families across the United States have been served, including more than 300 recipients of hockey equipment, more than 700 children attending hockey camps. In addition, more than 2,000 professional hockey tickets have been donated.
* Give an Hour, Bethesda, Maryland. Founded by Washington, D.C.-based psychologist Barbara Van Dahlen, this organization is dedicated to meeting the mental health needs of military personnel, their families, and the communities affected by the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. As of February, Give an Hour had about 6,000 providers across the nation -- in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Guam -- with more volunteer mental health professionals joining its network every day. In addition to counseling, providers also consult to schools, first responders, employers, and community organizations. Give an Hour has provided nearly 50,000 hours of free service, valued at roughly $5 million.
* Project Sanctuary, Parker, Colorad. This organization brings military families together in the Rocky Mountains after deployments to help them reconnect through recreational activities and therapy. Follow-up support beyond the retreat is also provided, and includes support to families with housing, job placement and veterans' assistance. Project Sanctuary has hosted 22 therapeutic retreats and is providing support and services to 164 families, 80 percent of which are those of wounded warriors.
Since 20 finalists were announced in February, the public voted to select Our Family for Families First Foundation as the "People's Choice Winner."

Rexel Belgium — IBS lights up Rexel Belgium
When Rexel Belgium merged six different companies into one efficient, streamlined whole, IBS software emerged as a key management tool
Piet Maes, IT director of Rexel Belgium explains how productivity in two logistics centers has increased by over 35%.
Company background
The Belgian subsidiary, Rexel Belgium is headquartered in Brussels and offers turnkey technical solutions for its customers in construction, maintenance and renovation industries. This offering is shaped around the company's core products ranging from electrical installation equipment and conduits and cabling, to lighting equipment, climate control and security systems.
Business issues
Rexel Belgium was formed with the consolidation of six Belgian companies. This disparate group faced a major uphill task in becoming one company in the practical sense. Streamlining product lines, financial procedures and inventory control were a necessity. Merging the companies would have been impossible without a completely reliable and stable IT solution.
One of the most difficult issues Rexel faced was to ensure centralised data flow to create efficiency in key areas: pricing and delivery strategy, product-range integration, financial control, client sales and service, and inventory and warehouse management.
After the merger, Rexel Belgium had some 22,000 articles in stock with a total product range of 500,000 items available to sell from 26 branches. All stock was processed through two logistics centres. To ensure synergies in customer ordering and invoicing across the country, Rexel Belgium needed an IT solution to harmonise and control its business in a multi-lingual environment.
Solution and capabilities
One of the original six Belgian companies was already using IBS' integrated business software solution, ASW, and had seen its previous 'spaghetti-like' IT system successfully transformed.
Rexel realised that one of the great things about ASW is the way it sees distribution and financials as two sides of the same coin. Transactions for the physical flow of goods within the branches or warehouses nationwide are automatically posted to accounts through a common interface, providing fast invoicing and customer service in both French and Dutch. The IBS solution ensures that all national branches carry the same pricing and product information.
ASW has been developed to enhance customers' profitability through in-creased sales, reduced costs, shortened lead-times, improved customer service, greater efficiency in internal and external processes and provision of excellent management information. Exactly what Rexel Belgium was looking for.
IBS' focus on distribution was another factor in Rexel Belgium's choice of business system software. The company's operation relates closely to the business-savvy way in which IBS has developed ASW.
IBS literally moved in with Rexel, implementing ASW step-by-step. To start with, eight sales points and one distribution centre were implemented. Using this tried and tested methodology, additional sales points were added each month, until the whole group was live with ASW. Rexel Belgium was most impressed with the strength of the working relationship that developed between its employees and those of IBS.
The warehouse management module is ideal for companies like Rexel Belgium because the system is built with scalability in mind. It allows the company to better control its vast product range and keep track of productivity figures on a daily basis.
Rexel Belgium has fine-tuned the warehouse management module, using internal replenishment within the same warehouse. ASW automatically signals when product lines in 'primary pick' locations of the warehouse need replenishing from less-accessible bulk stocks. This ensures reduced lead-times, cost savings and more efficient stock replenishment. ASW NetStore, IBS' advanced e-business solution gives professional electricians all the tools they need to place orders on-line, check outstanding customer orders and accounts, query the product catalogue and make quotations for customers - 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Benefits and value
Within the space of 18 months, the six disparate companies were merged. In terms of turnover and number of employees, Rexel is now number two on the Belgian market.
Thanks to ASW, customer orders are directed automatically to the appropriate distribution center depending on product availability. By improving work flow, Rexel Belgium has optimised inventory levels and increased customer satisfaction as orders are now fulfilled in a timely manner.
ASW Warehouse Management has helped Rexel Belgium increase productivity. In fact, productivity has risen by 35 and 50 percent in the two national distribution centres. Day-to-day figures are easily checked and monitored thanks to IBS software's intelligent functionality.
ASW and the professional support from IBS have allowed Rexel Belgium to reach all of its original objectives and generate daily Return on Investment.

The Buckhorn district held an appreciation dinner for friends of scouts. Eldon Holmes, district scout leader said, "The food was great and Caleb Homer performed an Indian Hoop Dance. The dinner was spearheaded by Caleb Homer and our Professional Scouter John Behn. The reason for this dinner was to help raise money for the Friends of Scouting which in turn helps our local boys involved in scouting. We have learned that it takes approximately $82 a year per boy to have council support. Because of the dinner, we were able to raise $1,275. The money raised will help about 16 boys for the next year. We would like to challenge and encourage local businesses and individuals to contribute or match the funds raised and help sponsor scouts.
"The Boy Scouts of America is the largest nonprofit organization in the world that helps our youth. In 2005, Eagle projects alone provided 243,826 hours of service to local, state, national and international governmental agencies, schools, religious organizations and others resulting in a total savings of $1,235,703.90 to those organizations.
"The scouts have been involved in Scouting For Food. Since 1910, the ideals of scouting have guided young men to perform service to others and to the community. Responding to the plight of America's poor and hungry is a traditional Scouting "good turn". During World War I, boy scouts planted vegetable gardens to provide food for the hungry. President Roosevelt called on scouts to collect food for the needy during the Great Depression. Planting victory gardens were the scouting "good turns" organized during World War II. Today, Boy Scouts continue their "good turn" efforts in community stewardship through Scouting For Food. During the 2005 drive, over 485,000 pounds of food were collected by 18,011 youth and 9.042 adult leaders and delivered to Utah's food banks. These donations went directly to help the children and families and seniors of our communities who are experiencing the pain of hunger in our state.
"Through helping other people, scouts learn to appreciate how they can share themselves and their blessings to those in need. By giving service to benefit others, Scouts gain a sense of personal satisfaction.
"If you, or someone you know, has been helped by the scouting program, please consider donating money to the Friends of Scouting and help the scouts in our communities," said Holmes. Contact Holmes at 687-9235 to learn more about becoming a friend of scouts.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.
