text: I'd have to go with Itachi. Everyone knows that hes badass and all, but his spiritual weapons give him the upperhand in just about any fight. Plus no ones what Kabuto can do. Sure he has Impure World, but what else does he have. Although he has Oro's power I dont consider him an upgraded version of Oro. I think Oro is still way better than Kabutomaru, in both intellect and strength.

With as little as $230 to as much as $15,000 you can make a sound investment with our guide to whole-house audio.
Thanks to the wonders of modern music technology, you no longer have to sit motionless on the sofa while two oversized speakers batter your ears into submission. Fork out for a decent multi-room music setup and you can listen to Stravinsky in the study, The Beatles in the bedroom and Garbage in the garage. A multi-room audio system frees you from listening to your digital music collection in the room where you keep your hi-fi. It's one of the cornerstones of the digital home. What's more, you can link up your whole house without breaking the bank (or angering your wife/husband) because whatever your music needs and whatever your budget there's a system out there.
Why multi-room?Multi-room systems are usually based around some kind of hard disk music server. This box digitally stores all of your favourite tunes, and then uses Ethernet or Wi-Fi connections to push that music around to the other rooms in your home. The advantages of this are huge - you no longer have to spend hours trying to find exactly the CD you want, or run around tuning every stereo in the house into the same radio station. Better still, different members of your household can listen to their own favourite tracks using individual room-based keypads/adapters, amplifiers and speakers, or listen to playlists that you've created. It's a great solution for parties!
High-end vs low-endOn the following pages, you'll find our pick of the best multi-room audio options available today, plus we've listed their key features, advantages and disadvantages. On these first two pages you'll find the Champagne Charlie 'high-end' options. These include the big-guns: the SoundServers and the MusicCASTs, which range in price from $2000 to $11,000. If money is little or no object, then invest in one of these systems and you'll get a powerful system that our Custom Install section would be proud of. In contrast, on the last two pages we've highlighted the leading DIY PC or Mac-based alternatives. If you have room for improvement one of these systems will fill it.
1. CAMBRIDGE AUDIO AZUR 640H$1999 www.cambridgeaudio.com
2. IMERGE SOUNDSERVER S2000 MKII$5335 to $10,999 www.imerge.co.ukThis slim silver box is available with a choice of 80GB, 160GB or 250GB hard disks, plus support for anything from one to four other rooms, although your choices are fixed at buying time and can't be changed later. To network the SoundServer, you'll need to buy additional NP200 Network Audio Players for each room (which cost $1599 apiece) and then add localised amps and loudspeakers. Although the SoundServer primarily uses analogue audio connections, you can stream music wirelessly by plugging a third-party Wi-Fi router into the Ethernet port, and then configuring each NP200 Player. AdvantagesStylish, sophisticated and great sounding. The SoundServer can also be controlled by your desktop PC, laptop or PDA. DisadvantagesExtra room amps and speakers required; no built-in Wi-Fi as standard, only supports PCM and MP3 playback.
$14,800 www.linn.com.au
Linn is the daddy when it comes to multi-room audio systems and the Linn Knekt Kivor Index music server is available in the widest choice of capacities (this is the price for the 250GB version), with the most expensive variant delivering nearly a terabyte of space. That's enough to store all your music in uncompressed PCM form. Unlike its bigger Kivor Tunnboks cousin, the Index is configured to deliver music to up to eight different rooms out of the box, so all you need to add are control pads, amps and speakers - which Linn also sells - in each of the rooms where you want to listen to your music.AdvantagesThe best sound quality for multi-room audio. DisadvantagesExtraordinarily expensive, but this is a company that also sells $30,000 CD players.
4. LIVING CONTROL AFINITY 240G$TBA (£2950) www.livingcontrol.comBased around the 240GB MusicBox 3, Living Control's yet-to-be-released Afinity (sic) serves up a complete multi-room solution including distribution to a choice of four or six rooms (via the RoomBox 4 or RoomBox 6) from six different sources in your main hi-fi setup. All you need to add are individual VideoPad controllers, plus local room amps and speakers, and you're set. Heck, Living Control can even sort out your movie and TV needs via its RoomBox 6CVX, with video feeds for the system being delivered by high quality analogue component video connections. Wireless distribution for audio is a possibility, although you'll have to add a third party router to achieve it. This limitation should change later this year when Living Control launches a revised and possibly renamed version that proposes to include Wi-Fi audio networking - we'll bring you more news on this when it has been confirmed.AdvantagesThe Afinity is easily one of the most elegant, sophisticated and affordable multi-room systems around. It's easy to operate and extend later too.DisadvantagesLike many of the other systems here, the Afinity currently lacks built-in Wi-Fi and can get expensive once you factor amps and speakers.
5. OPUS TECHNOLOGIES 500 SERIES$4300 www.opus-technologies.co.ukDesigned to be affordable and easy to install, the Opus 500 Series delivers a DIY version of multi-room that concentrates on music distribution rather than playback. That means you'll have to add music sources like a CD player or HD music server, but in return you get all the amps, speakers and keypads you need to send music around your home… and you get a lot for your money. Even the basic package gives you enough to deliver music to four different rooms and another four sub-zones, so you can pipe music to your main bedroom and an en-suite, for example. You can also network MCU500 Master Control Units together, giving you a maximum of 24 zones plus 24 sub-zones or enough for 48 rooms.AdvantagesThe 500 Series is cheap and can be upgraded to include video distribution; PC control.DisadvantagesUses proprietary connections that lock you into Opus format; adding Crestron/AMX control requires additional hardware.
6. YAMAHA MUSICCAST$3499 www.yamahamusic.com.au
7. NETGEAR MP101$229 www.netgear.com.auNetgear's Wireless Digital Music Player is a chunky old campaigner, but while it's limited in scope, the $229 asking price makes it a tempting option if you're looking to buy in bulk as it means that you can set up a whole-house audio system for less than $1150. Like the Squeezebox, the MP101 is an audio-only adapter promising plug-and-play operation. Install the server software on a song-stuffed PC, and plug the device into a stereo via the L/R audio leads and the two should happily link together via either a wired or wireless connection. We say 'happily', but this isn't always the case - we've often had trouble establishing a network between device and PC, and when things do go wrong, the meagre instruction pamphlet is not much help. Some readers have also told us that the server software is consistently flaky. We say that this device is ripe for an overhaul.AdvantagesThe cheapest device here; Rhapsody internet radio support; decent digital display and 802.11b playback performance.DisadvantagesCan be tricky to set up; prone to crashing and the server software is unreliable.
8. ROKU SOUNDBRIDGE M1000$499 www.rokulabs.com
9. SLIM DEVICES SQUEEZEBOX2$550 www.slimdevices.comHook this compact box up to a wired or wireless network, and it can be configured to access music stored on a computer's hard disk and streamed through a stereo system or TV. Plus it includes 802.11g and the ability to act as a wireless repeater. No walkthrough required: connect the Squeezebox2 to a stereo via its audio left and right jacks, install the companion software and you can browse your entire My Music collection using the remote control. Internet connectivity can be extended to any room so your Playstation, Xbox, VOIP phone, and home theatre PC can be connected to your network without Ethernet cabling - and that means music files to be synchronized to as many as 50 rooms. Despite the odd dropped connection, the Squeezebox2 is a capable solution for anybody who wants to stream audio content from a PC or centralised media server. AdvantagesSimple to set up, the Squeezebox2 does everything you ask it to, and it's a cheaper way to pursue the multi-room ideal.DisadvantagesThere's no support for DRM-protected files; it doesn't work with networks encrypted using the WPA protocol.
10. SONOS NETWORKED DIGITAL MUSIC SYSTEM$2399 www.playback.com.au
FAQsWHY DON'T MANY OF THE SYSTEMS HERE SUPPORT PROTECTED FILES?The record industry remains jumpy about the sort of devices that can play back downloaded music files. Tracks bought from Apple's iTunes store will only play on an iPod - Apple has yet to license its FairPlay DRM technology. Meanwhile the Windows Media 10 approach is aimed at handheld rather than multi-room devices.
CAN A WI-FI MULTI-ROOM SYSTEM BE HACKED?Most of the DIY options here do include 64-and 128-bit WEP support to enable you to encrypt your network traffic. This should keep your music away from prying eyes. The more expensive multi-room systems don't have this problem as they use wired connections.

13 projects
16 projects
13 projects
|3.S.H. Funding: The recommended budget was partially met, and is approaching the recommended budget.
Progress: The funded projects cover the objective well; there are 32 projects that are related to this objective, though more projects focus on use of databases than on special populations. A positive element of progress for this objective is the existence of large monitoring databases and projects that capitalize on those resources, such as iCARE and MINERvA.
Remaining Gaps, Needs, and Opportunities: While progress is being made in this area, and it must be maintained in order to achieve this objective.

Lecture: "Before Statuary: Victor Statues, Commemoration, and Power," Dr. Leslie Kurke
This event is expired.
Speaker: Dr. Leslie Kurke, Gladys Rehard Wood Professor, Classics and Comparative Literature Departments, UC Berkeley
This presentation will reexamine the ancient Greek practice of erecting life-size bronze statues of athletic victors, most often placed at the site of the games but also in the victor's home community. This practice, appearing suddenly in the Greek world at the end of the 6th century BC and proliferating especially in the first half of the 5th century, is usually regarded as unproblematic, viewed through the lens of the later practice of setting up honorific statues for victors, statesmen, and generals. But rather than thinking about these as images, the speaker wants to consider them as magical objects and agents, asking not "What do they represent?" but "What do they do?"

Megabass FX Knuckle Squarebill Crankbait
The Megabass FX Knuckle Squarebill Crankbait is an innovative shallow-diving crankbait featuring an adjustable square bill. Utilizing Megass' advanced FX lip technology, the lip has two position settings that deliver different running depths and different actions. With the bill positioned up, the Knuckle dives a little deeper - down to 5-feet, and produces a wider wobbling action. With the bill tilted down, it runs a little shallower with at tighter wobble. The Knuckle also channels water between the lip and body in a sort of "water intake" system, which provides the bait with added stability so it doesn't roll over at high speed like other square bills tend to do. Available in a range of proven Megabass colors, the Megabass FX Knuckle Square Bill Crankbait is as good as having two crankbaits tied on at once.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Bought 4, 3 do not click into the deeper setting. 1 works. The other 3 will likely be fine using only at the 1ft setting but not what I pay for when I buy Megabass. Sticking to the non adjustable
From: Brian: Graham 1/10/17
Comments: Always been a big fan of megabass anything. Probably buy at least 5 of their lures per month. So I ordered 4 fx knuckles, 1 standard and 3 jr's. The "adjustable" bill on 3 out of the 4 will not click into or stay in the 5 ft setting. Just flops back to 1ft depth setting, and that's right out of the package. Will not order these again, but I will buy them in person locally so I can verify that they work in front of the people I buy from before paying $22 for another. Still a fan of the 110 and 110+1 jerk bait.
From: Brian: Puyallup 1/9/17
Comments: Maybe it's just me, but from time to time, my line will get stuck on the adjustable bill. I purchased the Jr. & I have to say it's a bit small, but swims true & the details are flawless. Other than the line/bill issue I'm having, I'd recommend this lure.
From: Dallas: MN 1/27/16
Comments: Love this crank, can't say I'm a fan of the adjustable lip. When i fish with mine, the lip always sets itself in the deep setting. usually happens after every cast so it gets annoying when i want to fish it on the shallow setting. That aside it is my favorite crank, more durable than a kvd. caught two 4 pounders and a boat load of dinks and the paint is holding up well. Another success from megabass
From: Marcus: AZ 5/15/14
Comments: I have had the Knuckle 60 for a week and have already caught about 30 fish on it. This is postspawn (late May) in Texas. The lure is absolutely deadly when the sun goes down and bass head to the shallows to feed. The thing is epic. I love the adjustable aspect. I use it 90% of the time as a shallow runner (under 1 feet deep). I like it when the fish don't quite want to hit a buzzbait. One possible improvement, it tends to foul a lot. The swivel gets wedged in the gap at the bill. This is annoying when you make a perfect cast and it comes back tumbling round and round. I plan to switch out the swivel for a larger one that can't get stuck in the bill. Overall, this is awesome. The hooks are so damn sharp!! Be careful with them. When bass jump trying to spit out the crankbait they often hook themselves even better with the other treble hook. I don't see this with many crankbaits. These are the best, sharpest hooks around. I throw this and the Lucky Craft Gerald Swindle 1' deep model when most people are throwing spinner baits. Megabass stuff is great because on most lakes the fish have never seen one before!
From: Rob: Dallas, TX
Comments: Another GEM from Megabass. Say what you want about the prices...yes, they are very high BUT they are imported from Japan and the quality is IMMEDIATELY evident when you open a Megabass bait...From the packaging (a hard plastic reclosable box w/ foam on bottom for complete bait protection, and a full directions/tips/design info booklet- some bait come like this. others are just usual packaging. The knuckle is just regular packaging but has a good pamphlet in it), to the hooks, to the split rings...But most of all is the overall designs... The Research and Development is very evident. The attention to detail is amazing. They're works of art, truly. The paint jobs are so amazing...great gloss and sheen and color-shifts. The eyes they use are incredibly realistic. The Gill, mouth, and general "face" detailing is done so well. The Knuckle is so cool. The Bill is very sturdy, don't worry. It works the same as the way the "lip" clicks on the X-Pod. The Knuckle has 2 settings though. The first will fish 4-6' depending on fluoro or mono and line size. I had it down to about 6' w/ 12# fluorocarbon. The Shallow bill setting runs 0'-2'. Again, depending on line/size/type/retrieve. It can be absolutely "waked" on top or speed it up and drop your rod tip and it will get down 2' or so. It's a very versatile bait and switching bill-settings is SO easy...it's like having 2 amazing squarebills tied-on @ one time.
From: Tanner: Southeastern, Massachusetts
Comments: Absolutely cool bait. I love the X-pod that has an adjustable lip but it makes even more sense on a crankbait than it does on the X-pod topwater...With one click u can go from 0-1" wake/super shallow crank, to a 5' squarebill cover-bumper....the finishes are unreal of course. Quality top notch of course. Great bait, of course.
From: Tanner
Comments: Chad i got my hands on some two , the adjustment its cool price is ok but a two for one bait in my book . they work well for me !! good bait
Comments: I bought one to try out and man I'm hooked. I love the ability to adjust the depth on the fly and the attention to detail on these baits are amazing. Thanks Megabass
From: Chad: LA

Skip to comments.DOJ Declines to Prosecute Officials Involved in Tax Record Scandal
Posted on 07/22/2013 8:19:25 AM PDT by Cheerio
Confidential tax records of several political candidates and campaign donors were improperly accessed by government officials, but the Justice Department declined to prosecute any of the officials involved, even in one willful violation of the law, an IRS watchdog reported.
In a July 3 letter to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa), the Treasury inspector general for tax administration (TIGTA) J. Russell George acknowledged that government officials had illegally accessed tax records of candidates and donors in four instances since 2006.
TIGTA determined that in three of the cases the access was inadvertent.
(Excerpt) Read more at freebeacon.com ...
"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." - John F. Kennedy
If 10 million people marched on DC, it might get their attention...might!
Nuclear option? It is good that Grassley is following up but this needs to happen in the House where Impeachment initiates. Start with Holder and work your way up.
way, way, WAY too mild !
Did anyone expect prosecutions here? It's like thinking Stalin was going to give up his power because someone objected to his methods..........
This is why 0bama is stirring up his black citizen army.. More impeachable offenses are being revealed, to include his fraudulent personal history.
Everything this administration says or does is misdirection or an outright lie.
Translation = The "One" gave the orders.
"...DOJ Declines to Prosecute Officials Involved in Tax Record Scandal..."
Huh...Now there's a surprise...
Re. your link
Cui bono?
Unenforced laws are no laws at all.
I am expecting the Republicans to do something about it. It's time to follow through on the threats to deny funding to the IRS until those that have broken the law are prosecuted, fired or impeached.
I'm shocked, shocked I say!
I'm shocked, shocked I say!
Sorry, I guess I was more shocked than I thought.
In the context of Obama's promise of transparent government, he meant that in "transparent", there is nothing there to see.
Antonin Scalia effectively codified the unique independent power of the Fourth Branch into the hands of all citizens sitting as federal grand jurors. In discussing that power and unique independence granted to the grand jury, the United States Supreme Court, in United States v. Williams, 504 U.S. 36 at 48 (1992), Justice Scalia, delivering the opinion of the court, laid down the law of the land:
[R]ooted in long centuries of Anglo-American history, Hannah v. Larche, 363 U.S. 420, 490 (1960) (Frankfurter, J., concurring in result), the grand jury is mentioned in the Bill of Rights, but not in the body of the Constitution. It has not been textually assigned, therefore, to any of the branches described in the first three Articles. It `is a constitutional fixture in its own right. United States v. Chanen, 549 F.2d 1306, 1312 (CA9 1977) (quoting Nixon v. Sirica, 159 U.S. App. D.C. 58, 70, n. 54, 487 F.2d 700, 712, n. 54 (1973)), cert. denied, 434 U.S. 825 (1977).
I submit to you that this passage sets the stage for a revolutionary knew context necessary and Constitutionally mandated to we the people, THE FOURTH BRANCH of the Government of the United States. Besides, the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial branches, I submit that there is a fourth branch, THE GRAND JURY, and we the people when sitting as grand jurors, are, as Scalia quoted in US v. Williams, a constitutional fixture in its own right. Yes, damn it. That is exactly what the grand jury is, and what it was always intended to be.
Scalia also stated, that the grand jury is an institution separate from the courts, over whose functioning the courts do not preside Id.
And finally, to seal the deal, Scalia hammered the point home:
In fact, the whole theory of its function is that it belongs to no branch of the institutional Government, serving as a kind of buffer or referee between the Government and the people. See Stirone v. United States, 361 U.S. 212, 218 (1960); Hale v. Henkel, 201 U.S. 43, 61 (1906); G. Edwards, The Grand Jury 28-32 (1906). Although the grand jury normally operates, of course, in the courthouse and under judicial auspices, its institutional relationship with the Judicial Branch has traditionally been, so to speak, at arms length. Judges direct involvement in the functioning of the grand jury has generally been confined to the constitutive one of calling the grand jurors together and administering their oaths of office. See United States v. Calandra, 414 U.S. 338, 343 (1974); Fed.Rule Crim.Proc. 6(a). [504 U.S. 36, 48]
This miraculous quote says it all, the whole theory of its function is that it belongs to no branch of the institutional Government, serving as a kind of buffer or referee between the Government and the people. The Constitution of the United States, as interpreted by the Supreme Court, gives rise to a FOURTH BRANCH of Government, THE GRAND JURY. We the people have been charged with oversight of the government in our roles as grand jurors.
Is there no check to protect/by pass against a criminal AG?
All will be told in time. Just can't do it now because that would be racist.
Living thru this regime is like a self mutilation syndrome. It makes no sense. It's painful to watch. Misdirection is used whenever anyone gets close, like that "I am Trayvon" $hit. Whenever they feel frustrated and foolish, they just pull out the razors and start hacking away at the collective flesh. The emotion of living that attack on ourselves just shuts the media off like a switch.
And the republicans won't even call for holder's resignation. What a pathetic bunch of cowards.
The 'doj' willfully and openly breaks the law. Who is going to prosecute the criminals in the 'doj'?
IF the republicants will not write that law and publicize it and why it is necessary, THEN the republicants now in office need to be run out of DC on a rail with hot tar and feathers covering their filthy countenances. I would favor a lynching, but that's just me and my exploding intolerance of their corruption.
"Some animals are more equal than others."
Remember who. Justice will out.
" Did anyone expect prosecutions here? Its like thinking Stalin was going to give up his power because someone objected to his methods..........
"I am expecting the Republicans to do something about it."
Not going to happen.
The Injustice Department.
No "just us". No piece.
I am expecting the Republicans to do something about it.I suspect you're doomed to disappointment.
I'm not. Especially when it is quite probable that the GOP was involved in these crimes also. Consider the fact that the IRS attack on O'Donnell came immediately as she was announcing her challenge of incumbant Mike Castle (R. DE)....much to the dismay of the GOP.
Eloquent post of the day! Well said!
You can't impeach when there is no rule of law...
Until they enforce them on YOU.
the Obama DOJ has become the poitical arm of the DNC.
The way incidents are being played out I suspect the greater portion of our elected officials perhaps as many as 80% , even from the local and state levels, have been tainted with campaign contributions.
Treasury Special Agent Daniel K. Carney...
I wonder....
Which is why Zimmerman did not go to trial.....oh, wait.

Anonymous gift helps local farmers
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Va. - It's straight from a movie script -- a regional non-profit that helps small farmers gets a $50,000 gift from an anonymous donor with no idea where it came from. We found out where that money is going to be used.
It's harvest time down on the farm. For the small farmers of the region there are only a few avenues out there for them to sell their products. "We sell to the Abingdon Farmers Market, we go to a couple of their markets, Johnson County, Appalachian Harvest is actually our main market. We sell to a few restaurants," said Tamara McNaughton, an owner of a small farm.
Appalachian Harvest is a clearinghouse of sorts for local farmers help them sell their products to larger markets. "They do the outreach to huge markets, grocery stores, places like Whole Foods, Ingles and a couple of other produce companies," Tamara said.
That locally-grown food was helped along its way recently with an anonymous gift of $50,000 to the parent non-profit company Appalachian Sustainable Development.
"A couple of years ago or so, some people just called us out of the blue. They wanted to know more about us and were interested in what we were doing. That's all I know about them," ASD executive director Kathlyn Terry said.
"I imagine this person is supportive of a more localized or regional food system. That's really an amazing gift that Appalachian Harvest has been blessed with," Tamara added.
It will not only help with marketing the local food, but also in training farmers about good agricultural practices -- a certification that they need to sell to large wholesale markets.
"That much money truly makes an impact on our ability to help farmers. You just can't do it without money," Terry said.
And we can't make it without our local farmers providing the food.

St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians 11:23-32
Prokeimenon. Grave Mode.
Psalm 2.2,1
The rulers gathered together against the Lord and against his Christ.
Verse: Why did the heathen rage, and the peoples plot in vain.
BRETHREN, I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, "This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died. But if we judged ourselves truly, we should not be judged. But when we are judged by the Lord, we are chastened so that we may not be condemned along with the world.

Police arrest wanted suspect in Jacksonville bank robbery
JACKSONVILLE, ONSLOW COUNTY - Police arrested Alfonzo Murrell in Lenoir County on Friday. Murrell was wanted in connection with a Jacksonville bank robbery.
The arrest came after Lenoir County deputies received an anonymous tip from a caller. Deputies say the caller reported seeing Murrell at an abandoned residence in Grifton. Lenoir County Sheriff's Criminal Detectives and the US Marshals Service Violent Fugitive Task Force of the Eastern District of North Carolina went to the address and surrounded the residence. Deputies say they entered and located Murrell inside. They say Murrell was taken into custody without incident.
According to investigators, Murrell allegedly robbed the PNC Bank at 2885 Western Blvd., near Henderson Drive. The heist happened at about 11:46 a.m. on Sept. 13. He escaped with an unknown amount of cash, police said.
Investigators did not say if the man was armed.
It was thanks to a Crime Stoppers tip that allowed the suspect to be identified, police said. Crime Stoppers can be reached at (910) 938-3273. Callers can remain anonymous.

UAE-based Khansaheb Civil Engineering to build state-of-the-art Emirates facility
Emirates current fleet
Presently under construction and scheduled to be operational in the second quarter of 2014, the Engine Overhaul Shop will provide Emirates with the maintenance capabilities needed to assure continued safe operation of the engines powering the majority of the Emirates fleet. Managed by General Electric International (GE), Inc. and designed by US-based Burns and McDonnell Corp., the facility is valued at US $100 million and will support the maintenance of up to 300 engines per year. Emirates partner, GE will oversee the design and construction of the Shop; utilising the most advanced technology, equipment and industry best practices in managing engine repairs.
"Our new Engine Overhaul Shop will expand our ability to maintain and repair the thousands engines powering Emirates Boeing 777 and Airbus A380 aircraft. With the rapid expansion of Emirates over the past few years and further rigorous expansion scheduled, Emirates needed a way to better control maintenance costs while assuring safe and efficient operation of our fleet," said Ali Mubarak Al Sorri, Emirates Executive Vice President, Chairman's Office, Facilities, Construction & Design, Procurement Management and Procurement & Logistics Non Aircraft. "With the selection of Khansaheb Civil Engineering, a professional organisation based in the UAE, plus the expected Emiratis hired for positions at the new facility, the Emirates Engine Overhaul Shop will benefit all parties involved."
Emirates reviewed and approved the selection of Khansaheb after a thorough and rigorous evaluation of numerous highly-qualified candidate construction companies across the UAE. A well-established and highly-regarded construction company operating in Dubai, the UAE and the MENA region, Khansaheb Civil Engineering has been in operation since 1935.
In addition to supporting Emirates' fleet of over 120 Boeing 777s and 28 Airbus 380s, the new maintenance facility will support the Dubai economy by adding as many as 500 new engine maintenance positions for highly-skilled staff within Emirates, many of which are available for UAE Nationals. The Engine Overhaul Shop will complement the state-of-the-art Emirates Engine Test Centre; a 150,000-pound thrust capacity engine test facility already in operation 40 kilometres outside of the city of Dubai.

Comments about Ryan Baby Bag - Rugby:
I've always been a big fan of Le Sportsac, and have been very happy with the baby bag. It's lightweight and the best thing is you can throw it right in the washer and line dries overnight. Not as many compartments inside to keep things orderly (think of a big giant purse) but I use luggage organizers (small separate bags) to keep things organized inside my diaper bags which works for me. I've purchased multiple bags, and this is the keeper that I've used consistently. I also use their Weekender bag when I need to carry more/need a larger bag for a longer trip.

text: : A couple of things bother me. The plumber said the wax ring was good, but he added a thin ring to it anyway? This is likely why the toilet has become a rocking chair and the wax has spread past the edge of the toilet base although there quite a space between the wax ring and the edge of the base of the toilet. The toilet must set solidly on the floor. If the floor is slightly off of level, the toilet can be shimmed. You say he tightened the tank bolts, but you found one loose after he left? Either he tighten the bolts or he didn't, and you must be very careful when you tighten tank bolts. Too much and/or uneven tightening will crack the tank. In fact, I wonder if perhaps that is the problem with the leak. A hairline crack is very difficult to see, so don't rule out that possibility. As to what to do, the answer is simple. You hired the plumber to do a job that wasn't done. He has to come back and do it right. On a positive note, the $101 charge seems very reasonable.

50+: Live Better, Longer
Summer Temperature Swings May Harm Elderly
April 9, 2012 -- Extreme summer temperature swings may be a health threat for people ages 65 and older, a 20-year study shows.
Those kinds of big temperature swings are becoming more common, according to some climate models.
"It means we probably should be more concerned about climate change because there may be some significant health effects directly associated with the increasing variability of weather," says researcher Joel Schwartz, PhD, a Harvard University professor of environmental epidemiology.
The new study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shows that day-to-day temperature swings -- when the thermometer seesaws more than usual, catching us wearing sweatpants when shorts would feel better, and vice versa -- may be dangerous, particularly for older adults with chronic health problems.
Friends, relatives, and neighbors should try to keep a closer eye on people with chronic health problems -- not just on days with blazing heat, but also during sudden weather snaps, says Robert Glatter, MD, an emergency medicine specialist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York.
"Watch for any changes in their daily vital signs and complaints," says Glatter, who was not involved in the study. "Make sure you're listening very carefully to their complaints."
The problem seems to be that wild temperature swings stress the body, and many frail elders simply can't adjust.
"If a cold-front comes through and it goes from 95 to 70, you know, that's it. Your body isn't going to switch into its 70-degree mode," Schwartz says.
Temperature Check
For the study, Schwartz and his colleagues compared more than 20 years of Medicare records of people ages 65 and older with summer temperature changes over the same time period for 135 U.S. cities.
They took into account other environmental variables, too, such as air pollution and the number of parks and trees in an urban area. They also looked at other factors known to influence life expectancy, including income, education, and race.
The study found that changes in a city's average summertime temperature range of as little as 1 degree Celsius, or 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit, were linked to higher death rates for seniors with heart and lung disease and diabetes.

Skip to comments.'Change Is Hard': Army, Navy Hospitals Merge (NPR mentions FR)
Posted on 09/02/2011 12:26:04 PM PDT by Drango
September 2, 2011
There's a lot of good sense behind closing two famous and nearby military hospitals and merging them into the new Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. But just looking at the name reveals both what's good about this merger and what makes it so tricky.
Walter Reed was a famous Army doctor, and for more than a century his name was on the Army's iconic hospital in Washington, D.C. Now that hospital is shutting its doors, and Reed's name will go onto the new hospital built on the Navy's flagship medical campus in Bethesda, Md., 6 miles away.
It's a bit like merging the Yankees and the Red Sox and then making them play in "Derek Jeter Fenway Park." Yankees fans and Red Sox Nation would never go for it but it might make a great baseball team.
That's the sort of potential behind the new, jointly operated Army and Navy hospital. With bright new buildings and the latest technology, the new hospital promises better care to service members, veterans and injured troops from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
But the Army and Navy each have their own proud traditions. So bridging those separate, and often competing, cultures will be the key to truly offering better medical care.
A 'World-Class Standard' Of Care?
The possibilities of the merger are clear when Cmdr. Blair Miles gives a tour of one of the spacious new operating suits. The scanners and computers are attached to long booms that extend down from the ceiling.
"This is going to be the neuro room," Miles says. "It's a hybrid room, and it's a biplane room, so that's why you see the two C-arms." That's a lot of jargon for the new equipment here. The point is: This operating room has all of the latest technology.

Supporters from the D.C chapter of Free Republic send off the final patients from Walter Reed Army Medical Center on Saturday.
Good job DC chapter. And thank you to all the military men and women who serve.
Simple: The Navy posthumously commissions Reed as an O-12 and names the place "Admiral Walter Reed Hospital;" everybody's happy. ;^)
Whoops, O-10.
Thank you FReepers for being there for me.
WTG DC Freepers!
Thanks again to the DC chapter!
I bet that NPR photographer was terrified that those FR 'terrorists' were going to beat her up or shoot her.
Why do they need the word "national"? Isn't that a given?
You is good people, DC FReepers! God Bless all of you, and all who stood at Walter Reed these past years in support of our military.
Ask anyone about year end spending to "insure we don't lose our budget" Ask anyone about the great hospitals like Brook ARmy and you know what is possible, but it is not possible to do that two or three times in an area the size of Bethesda/Dc. /it is not a rant it is a wish for change a
Are they merging the "Embrace the Sodomy" training as well. I've heard the Navy's program is much more enthusiastic than that of the Army or Marine Corps.
This is great that FR is seen there, because I am afraid Zero is paying lip service to Veterans' preferences when it comes to getting jobs or benefits as future government workers. Right now his staffing for green peace jobs and his non attendance at the VFW is a glaring threat record of that.
VEterans need to be aware that they are threatened by this cult of Zero and that others show their support on the other hand, and not just some Zero "thank you" note while attacking them on the flank.
They're military doctors and professionals. Something tells me NPR's analogy is full of Obama.
Drango - Thanks for finding and posting. We were wondering how NPR would handle us being there. Apparently from their story, FR fared better than their accounting of how the Army and Navy will get along.
NPR mentions DC Chapter.
DC Chapter members pictured are PrezUSA222, VictoryNY and [Mrs] Trooprally at the gate talking to the Garrison Commander.
[Mr] T
Thanks for the ping. DC Chapter has been pinged.
Kburi's AAR for that morning. We occupied all 4 corners.
Kristinn's post from the Army News Service
[Mr] T
Seems to me that this is all that really matters.
Besides, it is hard to get money for a base when it is to be closed. Yet the Army built a physical therapy addition that Bethesda sent their wounded Marines to.
That "expose" about the mold - blow way out of proportion by WaPo. As mentioned, WR was swamped by the sudden influx of wounded. They were in the process of rehabing the OFF BASE hotel where the mold was. The room in question was not to be occupied. But a wounded soldier wanted a room by himself and took that room.
This is not 3rd party scuttlebutt. I have personal knowledge of this from our wounded warriors, in particular from the sergeant in charge of the hotel. Spent a night with him and others playing Texas Hold 'em inside Walter Reed. They even held a press conference to report the truth. Some press showed up but nothing reported by the media slims.
[Mr] T
Thanks so much for all that your group did!
You are welcome. Some long cold nights were tough, but when we got home, there was a certain satisfaction that it really does help our wounded warriors. And kudos as yours helped.
[Mr T
It's nothing like that. This inter branch rivalry has been invented by Hollywood. Air Force pilots are commonly assigned to the Navy for carrier training. And Navy personnel go to medical specialist in other branches hospitals all the time. If they build an "Arny" hospital on a Navy base, it will be staffed with doctors, medics, and "corpse men" and no one will really care.
We have $4.2 Billion to give away to Illegals in tax refunds they cannot receive via law, but we have no money for military hospitals for our nation's heroes.
This nation should hang its head in shame.
The next time I see a car with an Obama bumper sticker on it, I will spit on the pavement.
God bless the Freepers who were there.
WHAT are you reading? This new facility is probably the best equipped medical facility in the country, and it was started long before Obama even ran for POTUS. The old Walter Reed was closed under the BRAC, and merged with the old Bethesda Naval Medical Center.
This story is just about how the merger works with the two branches bringing together their traditions into one facility. Which in itself is silly. In the OR and on the floor, they are all medical professionals who want the best for their patients.
Maryland PING!
thanks for the ping to this thread(would have missed it otherwise)
strange mixture of emotions for you all who have been the warriors each Friday.
Thanks Drango. I appreciate being made aware of that.
Kudos to the D.C. chapter for being there. I appreciate that very much too.
Yep, I would have also missed it but OwenKellogg pinged me. For a few days after we looked to see what the media wrote but did not see anything. Sure glad that others found articles.
It was strange to not be at Walter Reed last night. Felt like it was a Saturday.
[Mr] T
Aaand... another Freeper with the six degrees of seperation from everything to homosexuality.
Professionals that they may be inter service rivalry wouldn't surprise me in the least. As an example I offer the anger the services show when another one gets into their "territory" (i.e. the Army doing upper air stuff or the Air Force doing ground stuff).
I had occasion to visit Walter Reed in the 90s. It is not located in the best area if you must use public transportation to get to it. The condition of the street in the Freeper pic on this post is evidence that is still the case.
When I was there the hospital—understanding I was there for only about three hours—did not seem too dependent or retiree friendly. One poor women, whose husband was awaiting a colonoscopy, had to come out into the waiting room and plead for help. Her husband had an accident on the way to the bathroom. There was no one present to help her. A receptionist gave her a bucket, mop and some rags.
This disregard for basic privacy was always present in my 28-years (20 Active Duty) experience with US Army hospitals and health centers.
As for the merging of redundant services—who would oppose that? I don't see any need for Army, Navy or Air Force facilities. They are military facilities.
As far as waste, fraud and abuse are concerned there is still far too much of it. The Army was fairly diligent about prosecuting individuals. But, it seemed to me, there was only marginal interest in going after companies and their executives when it came to big ticket contracts. This was not entirely the fault of the military. Every military contract ultimately has its roots in a state that is represented by House and Senate politicians. They do not want anybody messing around with that arrangement. Why? It is how politicians with no personal wealth before public office are rich when they leave it.
But the politicians love to trot out the iconic $400 toilet seat or hammer when they want to beat up the military for wasteful spending. At its best this disingenuousness. There is a perfectly logical explanation for expensive toilet seats and hammers.
When the military buys a weapon system—be it something that shoots, scoots or communicates—it intends the system to be in the inventory for decades. The system must be maintained over this extended time frame. This means the end item (howitzers, trucks and radios get destroyed or wear out over time) and spare parts must be available. The expense of maintaining the manufacturing pipeline is paid for by the expensive toilet seat or hammer.
So the next time you hear a politician bring up the "expensive" toilet seat you'll know your about to be fed a poop sandwich. The object is to distract you from the real government contracting fraud that is necessary to enrich the politician while in office.
O just know what I have seen and see. Thanks to Dick Danzig the Navy has become a model of political correctness. I believe 'homosexuality is incompatible with military service' as the line that RR's EO stated so succintly.
thanks for the ping
Serious institutional clash forthcoming:
Will it be "Corpsman Up!!!"?
Or "Medic!!!"?
speaking of which, I was told that the military is now selling homosexual magazines on base, now please anyone tell me this is not for real.
Senior Navy medical leadership has been very weak for some time, the Army rolled them. It has been Bethesda Naval Hospital for decades, that now just goes away as if it never existed.
I am sure there will be conflicts. Even when merging two similar parts this large there are problems, I can imaging top brass from different services trying to be top dog.
[Mr] T
I hope not, but if they are, rest assured that the Navy and Coast Guard will lead the way on sodomy oriented periodicals: flame away folks.
I agree with you 100% as regards waste. I'd looks at the daycare centers, the military policty regarding housing and pregnant service members as direct policies that waste money. We have privates showing up having just recently married a gal with three kids...Bingo!: he's out of the barracks and we are on the hook for medical & housing for a new family of five. We have an HIV positive member and now he's retained instead of being discharged. The waste is abominable, I agree. Oh for the days when soldiers had to ask permission to get married.
My biggest complaint about Walter Reed were that they did not mesh well with the Tricare appiontment system, so every appointment I made through Tricare for Walter Reed... was not in their system. I eventually had to give up and go to Bethesda (which does have better service).
And the other complaint was it's location. The medical facility at Andrews is the easiest of the (formerly) three medical facilities in the Washington area. Bethesda's not as easy, but Walter Reed... geez, there was no good way to get to it from anywhere outside of Washington, D.C. itself.
It'll be:
Medic! Get your @ss on deck!
Understood that the administration department at Walter Reed was screwed up, but as far as treatment for our wounded warriors, treatment was excellent.
If you think access to Walter Reed was hard, Bethesda will be worst. They already have parking problems on base and the local roads are insufficient to handle the extra traffic. At least at WR one can park on the residential side streets.
I highly recommend taking Metro to Bethesda if you go there. I believe there is an internal shuttle bus but it could be only during construction.

Concerning the UFO article in the March 18 issue of the Emery County Progress. I put information from an email I received from Steve Maxfield in it. In this information it stated that Shaydon Johansen had said some things to Maxfield concerning what he had seen the night of March 2. We wish to apologize to Shaydon for including his comments. He denies what was attributed to him in the article. We apologize for any problems this may have caused Shaydon.
I also wish to comment on how some people can be so mean and rude to others. People are afraid to say what they really think and feel because others are so quick to point fingers and say we are crazy just because we have seen something that is unexplainable. Just because there isn't an explanation for something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
The fact that since running this UFO article, I have had several people contact me with their stories of that evening and what they saw and heard. I had a lady from as far away as Moab comment on it. It seemed amazing to me, that so many people in Huntington saw and heard something that night and a logical explanation hasn't come forth. We are so quick to rush to judgment about people. I didn't see anything or hear anything that night and I live not far from where it was seen. We had been to Salt Lake that weekend for a wedding and I was pretty worn out as I dropped into bed that night. But, a block away strange things not explained happened. My sister-in-law heard the noise, but didn't go out to look. I don't know what happened, but I wish that those who are willing to come forth and speak about it wouldn't be harrassed. It isn't fair. What if some day, it's you telling a story of strange happenings and no one believes you?

Skip to comments.Obama Supporter On FNC: Jesus Would Be O.K. With Abortion
Posted on 08/25/2008 10:59:36 AM PDT by Mrs. Don-o
Jesus would be O.K. with abortion. Not only that, Jesus's position on abortion would be even "more radical" than Barack Obama's! That was the wild, and patently false, assertion from Barack Obama supporter Dr. Marc Lamont Hill, a guest on Wednesday's The O'Reilly Factor on FNC (8/13/08).
[snip] The earliest Christian writings reveal that the earliest followers of Jesus were universally against abortion:
-- The Didache ("The Teaching of the Twelve") may be the earliest Christian document not found in the Bible. It has been dated at 50 A.D. It says: "You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not seduce boys. You shall not commit fornication... You shall not procure [an] abortion, nor destroy a newborn child."
If anyone ever needed an example of how callous and clueless so-called "progressive" pundits can be when it comes to the topic of Christianity...
From Wednesday's The O'Reilly Factor (8/13/08):
O'REILLY: The question is simple. (crosstalk) Would Jesus be as progressive on abortion - does he believe Jesus would, based upon his knowledge of theology - as he [Obama] is?
HILL: Absolutely. I think, absolutely.
O'REILLY: You believe Jesus would say, "Partial-birth abortion: No problem"?
HILL: I think Jesus would be even more radical than all the candidates who are --
O'REILLY (incredulous): On this issue?
HILL: On this issue and on all these other issues. I think a fundamentalist understanding of the pro-life/pro-choice debate is misguided and actually misses the point. And I think Barack Obama understands this kind of thing -- (inaudible) close to the center --
O'REILLY (incredulous): That would be a stunning dissertation if the Senator would give it. And I would absolutely want to hear it.
HILL: And I think he would. I think he will!
O'REILLY: Let's wrap this up ...
(Excerpt) Read more at newsbusters.org ...
Jesus didn't text message me?!?
I'm confused, I thought Jesus was running for president.
Jesus was not a frickin' socialist.
He expected each individual person to carry out His will for the people.
No to collectivism!
This is a sick, sick, man.
you didn't get the memo?
Jesus was merely a prophet ... the true messiah is running for president.
Right: Jesus was just kidding about the millstone and throwing yourself into a deep sea for harming "one of these little ones"...
So Jesus would be pro-choice? Would He be in favor of partial birth abortion? Would He be in favor of saving babies alive after abortion attempts or would He think it's ok to let them die?
Would He be in favor of homosexual marriage?
I've heard similar talk about quotes such as Jesus saying "Blessed are the peacemakers", which the leftists interpret to mean we should never fight a war or be involved in military action.
And the say how Jesus preached and encouraged all to help the poor, which the leftists interpret to mean that we need more gov't programs to help the poor.
Luke 12:49-53
49"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed! 51Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."
All will learn what Jesus will do.
13And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them.
14But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
15Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
16And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them.
Maybe this guy heard from Jesus [hay--soos] in San Antonio, whose girlfriend is now in trouble.
Also - on the subject of preaching and gifting to the poor, it is all by choice, which is the most absolute, utter basic tenet of Christianity, on which all of it is entirely based. Choice.
Government compulsion to give is not choice. Without the choice to give, you cannot voluntarily display your help of the least of us. That is not Christian.
The fundamentalists among us are neither shocked nor incensed by this latest move in Hussein's game. He has been rebuked by Bible believers, and the move is now his, and only his, to correct or continue on his path. God is in control of whomever wins the election, and the President can do nothing without God's OK, even though God gives him, and us, choice.
These people are so whacked, brain dead, stoned beyond belief, there is no way this country will survive if their Messiah gets elected!!!!
When you examine the pedigree of their ideas, what you come to understand is that the abortion issue is one of the keystones to devaluing human life. This is something that is implicit in the ideology of the Left; it's cast into their philosophical DNA.
Humans are things.
That the essence of it. Humans are fungible and ultimately disposable "assets".
This is why you've got the likes of Margaret Sanger and Dr. Peter Singer doing their damndest to move the goalposts when it comes to defining life and humanity. Singer, for example, has argued that infants up to 28 months old don't really have any cognitive ability that defines them as human. So it's OK to 'terminate' them if the parent (or really, the State) so chooses.
Who lives, who dies. That's the power they seek. They are all monsters, monsters from the deepest dark heart of of our existence and history is replete with the outcomes and the evidence of their sick Utopian ideas: slaughter and mass murder on a scale that beggars the imagination.
History also tells us what we must do to deal with them.
Peter reports and Mark wrote that Yah'shua said:shalom b'SHEM Yah'shua HaMashiach Adonai
NAsbU Mark 10:19 "You know the commandments, 'DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, Do not defraud, HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.'"
Liberals simply want to substitute a government gun (compulsion) for your conscience. You don't get a say. You're just a meat animal to be harvested, one slice at a time.
Just keep yappin' you crazy liberals.
Go ahead and parade your freak show in front of the nation this week, and keep talking about Jesus like this.
Everytime the libs talk, they ensure a republican landslide.
The fun part is the day after the election when they look so puzzled.
What went wrong?
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Close. It's God's other son, Barak.
Close. It's God's other son, Barak.
"All will learn what Jesus will do."
We already know: NOTHING.
Besides, if he didn't take the time to condemn slavery, why should we care about what he thinks about fetuses? Unless of course, it means more people to be born and become slaves worshipping him, well then, that makes sense.
Close. It's God's other son, Barak.
No, no, no, no.
He was running for the border. Jesus Gomez - he was running for the border to the U.S. when he was stopped by a section of wall.
These people are sick. They're welcome to their perverted opinions, but don't try to justify them by (mis)using Scripture!
That is yet another one they misinterpret.
They think it means they have to act childish in all matters.
That leads to them wearing funny costumes and ridiculous body adornment, while chanting & carrying childish slogans, and shouting obscenities, while parading through our streets, believing that they are "making a difference".
Obama is on the theoretical extreme edge of the radical pro-abortion position. God Himself could not be more radical if He wanted to.
Surely, it's not the other way around. Otherwise, Obama would be far more humble. :-)
John 21:25
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written.
Therefore your assumption that Jesus ought to have been expected to catalog and condemn every known, past and future, type of human cruelty, violation and aggression, is mistaken.
Jesus was often confronted with moral quetions, and He tended to answer in summary rather than in catalog form:
"[Loving God] is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
Yhis leaves it on the honest questioner to ask himself: "Would I want someone to enslave me? Then I should not enslave other. Would I want someone to abort me? Then I should not abort others." And so forth.
That, with sufficient reflection, should answer most questions of morality.
Little error here.
The Sybelline Books were pagan Roman/Etruscan documents.
But that's o.k. Apparently even THEY didn't approve of abortions.
Neither Hill nor Obama have read the Bible through even once. They did not read how David praised God for knowing him even before his mother knew she was pregnant. Obviously, unborn babies are people. One cannot know someone unless they are alive.
Abortion is murder, pure and simple.
