I like Cameron Diaz. I just plain like her. She's able to convey bubble-brained zaniness about as well as anyone in the movies right now, and then she can switch gears and give you a scary dramatic performance in something like "Vanilla Sky." She's a beauty, but apparently without vanity; how else to account for her appearance in "Being John Malkovich," or her adventures in "There's Something About Mary"? I don't think she gets halfway enough praise for her talent.
Consider her in "The Sweetest Thing." This is not a good movie. It's deep-sixed by a compulsion to catalog every bodily fluids gag in "There's Something About Mary" and devise a parallel clone-gag. It knows the words but not the music; while the Farrelly brothers got away with murder, "The Sweetest Thing" commits suicide.
And yet there were whole long stretches of it when I didn't much care how bad it was--at least, I wasn't brooding in anger about the film--because Cameron Diaz and her co-stars had thrown themselves into it with such heedless abandon. They don't walk the plank, they tap dance.
The movie is about three girls who just wanna have fun. They hang out in clubs, they troll for cute guys, they dress like Maxim cover girls, they study paperback best-sellers on the rules of relationships, and frequently (this comes as no surprise), they end up weeping in one other's arms. Diaz's running-mates, played by Christina Applegate and Selma Blair, are pals and confidantes, and a crisis for one is a crisis for all.
The movie's romance involves Diaz meeting Thomas Jane in a dance club; the chemistry is right but he doesn't quite accurately convey that the wedding he is attending on the weekend is his own. This leads to Diaz's ill-fated expedition into the wedding chapel, many misunderstandings, and the kind of Idiot Plot dialogue in which all problems could be instantly solved if the characters were not studiously avoiding stating the obvious.
The plot is merely the excuse, however, for an astonishing array of sex and body-plumbing jokes, nearly all of which dream of hitting a home run like "There's Something About Mary," but do not. Consider "Mary's" scene where Diaz has what she thinks is gel in her hair. Funny--because she doesn't know what it really is, and we do. Now consider the scene in this movie where the girls go into a men's room and do not understand that in a men's room a hole in the wall is almost never merely an architectural detail. The pay-off is sad, sticky, and depressing.
Or consider a scene where one of the roommates gets "stuck" while performing oral sex. This is intended as a ripoff of the "franks and beans" scene in "Mary," but gets it all wrong. You simply cannot (I am pretty sure about this) get stuck in the way the movie suggests--no, not even if you've got piercings. More to the point, in "Mary" the victim is unseen, and we picture his dilemma. In "Sweetest Thing," the dilemma is seen, sort of (careful framing preserves the R rating), and the image isn't funny. Then we get several dozen neighbors, all singing to inspire the girl to extricate herself; this might have looked good on the page, but it just plain doesn't work, especially not when embellished with the sobbing cop on the doorstep, the gay cop, and other flat notes.
More details. Sometimes it is funny when people do not know they may be consuming semen (as in "American Pie") and sometimes it is not, as in the scene at the dry cleaners in this movie. How can you laugh when what you really want to do is hurl? And what about the scene in the ladies' room, where the other girls are curious about Applegate's boobs and she tells them she paid for them and invites them to have a feel, and they do, like shoppers at Kmart? Again, a funny concept. Again, destroyed by bad timing, bad framing and overkill. Because the director, Roger Kumble, doesn't know how to set it up and pay it off with surgical precision, he simply has women pawing Applegate while the scene dies. An unfunny scene only grows worse by pounding in the concept as if we didn't get it.
So, as I say, I like Cameron Diaz. I like everyone in this movie (I must not neglect the invaluable Parker Posey, as a terrified bride). I like their energy. I like their willingness. I like the opening shot when Diaz comes sashaying up a San Francisco hill like a dancer from "In Living Color" who thinks she's still on the air. I like her mobile, comic face--she's smart in the way she plays dumb. But the movie I cannot like, because the movie doesn't know how to be liked. It doesn't even know how to be a movie.

Grappling with Israel: From Sontag to Lacan and the Maoists in Between
Susan Sontag, Promised Lands. Poland/France, 1974.
Groupe Cinéma Vincennes, L'Olivier. France/Palestine, 1976.
Mike Hoolboom, Lacan Palestine. Canada, 2012.
In 1973, Susan Sontag, the visual critic and essayist, traveled to the Middle East to film in Israel, just before the end of the October War that saw Egypt and Syria uniting to launch a surprise attack in retaliation for the colossal losses of the 1967 war. To watch Susan Sontag's Promised Lands in April 2012 as part of the London Palestine Film Festival, playing to a full house, is a testament to the changing mode of representing Israel in western cultural capitals. It is also probably an entirely different aesthetic, intellectual, and emotional experience than viewing the film when it first premiered in 1974 in New York City. It is impossible to engage this film today, along with others such as L'Olivier (1976) and Lacan Palestine (2012) that were shown at the same festival, without contextualizing them against the backdrop of the shifting dynamics of representation.
Against Interpretation? The Politics and Poetics of Israeli Trauma
Upon its release in 1974, Promised Lands was banned in Israel. This ban was not a result of a fear of the Palestinian perspective, for there is hardly any of this in the film. Sontag was more interested in capturing the vulnerability of Israel, as she and her liberal New York intellectual cohort understood it, during the period from the foundation of the state in 1948 to 1974, when the film was released. This was a period when the "Palestinian," and the very idea of "Palestine," was either non-existent or simply a synonym for "terrorist" in mainstream Western (especially American) society. Through a collage of images of a fearful, traumatized, and insecure nation, Promised Lands could be read as an early attempt to uncover the young Israeli state's narrative of a heroic national liberation. This was a narrative resting on a deep belief—ironically held by many supporters of anti-colonial nationalist struggles prominent in the leftist intellectual New York circles of the 1960s and 1970s—that a civilized and western Jewish state was liberated from Arabs by Holocaust survivors against all odds, rather than forcefully expelled by colonial settlers armed with the latest in European military technology and racist ideology.
The film was barred from being shown in Israel for the very simple reason that it does not partake in what Ella Shohat has termed the "heroic nationalist" genre of Israeli cinema: the genre defined by the representational framework through which the Israeli-Zionist ideology and narrative has been reproduced and perpetuated, both within Israel and outside of it by its supporters [1]. Rather, in what seems to be an attempt that is decidedly "Against Interpretation" (to quote the title of Sontag's classic 1966 essay), the film sets out to observe Israel through a poetic lens—rather than offer commentary. The result is a Godard-influenced lamentation of the psychological effects of the multi-layered complexities binding the Israeli state. These include above all the collective consciousness of a beleaguered, paranoid, and terrified nation grappling with the traumas of persecution, war, pain, and death. Like the form used in Godard's Ici et Ailleurs (1976), released a few years later and embodied in the images and sounds received by the television-watching French family from a far away place called "Palestine," Sontag's film also experiments with a similar formal language. This language is transmitted through what is received from another place, an exotic milieu, out of place and out of time from where she comes.
The camera's silent surveying includes daily life in the marketplaces and on the streets, decorated with posters from Israeli popular culture and marked by American-style supermarket chains, which mirror the shift from the early socialist rhetoric to a growing capitalist consumer reality. Other shots portray prayers at the Wailing Wall, a service at the war cemetery, and a wax museum that memorializes the nation's violent military history and concurrent socialist imaginary of the emancipated laborer building the nation. The camera pauses on the wreckage of cremated tanks and scorched corpses, surrounded by dried blood and swarming flies against a backdrop of vast arid earth, which interrupt these semblances of "normalcy" in a militarized society. Most disturbing of all is Sontag's venture into a psychiatric ward for shell-shocked war veterans. Under her silent gaze, this closing scene of the experimental treatment that re-creates the battlefield stands as an allegory of a truly tormented nation. The veterans' loud cries and squirming body movements embody the claustrophobia of a tragic nation caught between a rock and a hard place. "Israel fights because Israel cannot lose," claims one of Sontag's protagonists.
Yet by Sontag's refusal to interpret or mediate what she sees, the film leaves one wondering about what is lost through the process and if it was in fact able to do what it set out to do. Sontag's film could be about Israeli society in particular, or it could be a poetic approach to representing the absurdity of war through the use of Israel as a case study. In both cases, an attempt to enable the subjective interpretation of the object of study is made by employing only faint narrative, as in the genre of poetic modes of documentary more generally: events and characters are purposely kept underdeveloped, in order to generate affect. But in Promised Lands, narrative content is never abandoned altogether; it is there, albeit sporadically. More, the narrative is strategically drawn upon to explicate what the affective mode seamlessly transmits to the viewer about the absurdity of the violence Israel is "forced" to contend with.
No Palestinian or female voice is ever heard in the film. Save for one mundane shot of Palestinian men and women crossing the Allenby border from Jordan and having their luggage searched by Israeli Army border patrol, they are hardly seen, not even in the backdrop. But they are "spoken" about. Israel's narrative of victimhood, and the subsequent justification for the siege mentality that results from it, is essentially represented by the deliberations of two Israeli Zionists that run intermittently throughout the length of the film. The first is Yuval Ne'eman, a physicist and a pioneer of Israel's nuclear technology program, who presents his version of Arabs' and Muslims' supposedly deeply entrenched loathing of Jews by reading from Jordanian and Egyptian school books to prove his point. The second is Yoram Kanium, a liberal writer who expresses what he sees as the Palestinian narrative ("we are right, and they were right," he observes) but who also bemoans the perpetual cycle of conflict as a deadlock from which there is no escape, precisely because of the tragic predicament of the Jews, which leaves them no alternative but the present one.
Sontag's re-construction of fragments of sound reinforces both these narratives. The soundtrack of the film includes sounds of prayer, running footsteps, women wailing, radar beeps, explosions, machine-gun fire, and, most significantly, the Voice of Cairo's English radio broadcasts addressing the question of Palestine and Israel's role in the region in a propagandist tone. Yet despite the fact that the film relies more heavily on everyday sound and images than words, the words that are uttered reinforce the arresting mood of fear conveyed throughout the film, rather than interrogate it. More insidiously, Sontag's decision to generally leave Palestinians outside her camera frame reinforces the Zionist claim that Palestine was "a land without a people for a people without a land."
For all her insistence not to interpret, Sontag's greatest achievement in Promised Lands was to document the fallacy of the heroic Israeli state through a poetic mode that (ironically) depended on her aesthetic and subjective visual interpretation of the political situation. Hence, while the emphasis is indeed on the film's form—an approach that arouses the senses so that we ultimately "learn to see more, to hear more, to feel more" as she explains—it is unable "to show how it [the subject matter] is what it is, even that it is what it is," as she insists this technique might do.[2] This is because, as her own writing in On Photography (1977) and then Regarding the Pain of Others (2003) later insisted, images must be measured against the misperceptions they sometimes propagate as well as the restlessness they might provoke, the exploitation they might enable, and the latency they may engender. In other words, narrative and framing are central to the reception of images insofar as they ultimately confer meaning on what it is that we are looking at. In this light, Promised Lands is equally valuable as an archival document of the New York liberal intellectual elite's historically sympathetic yet largely uninformed understanding of the Israeli state's self-perpetuated predicament. The fact that the film steered clear of confronting, either aesthetically or through narrative, the role, place, and effect Israel's paranoia has had on the Palestinians most implicated in it is symptomatic of what Joseph Massad has argued more generally about western liberal intellectuals' inability to transgress the boundaries set out by the hegemonic Israeli and US discourse on victimhood and self-defense by refusing to disconnect the experience of the Holocaust from the racist and paradoxical nature of the concurrently Jewish and "secular" state.
What may be interpreted here as a retrospective attack on Sontag's inability (or unwillingness) to confront the complexity of the Israeli situation in its entirety should not be read as a dismissal of her contribution in terms of aesthetic experimentation and political inquiry, nor a lack of appreciation for how bound she was by her own cultural and political moment. What is being questioned, rather, is the way in which certain aesthetic conceptions of protest and dissent may end up being organized by hegemonic discourses. This convergence between protest and power is most obvious in Sontag's attempt to visually critique the Israeli predicament through a supposedly neutral and silent lens. But in doing so, Sontag falls victim to the labyrinthine structure of deception that so defines the mainstream representation of the Palestinian version of history. This is a powerful reminder that the absorption of protest often holds most for the political forms that are most at ease in and most celebrated by circuits of global power.
Interpreting Israel Anew
When Sontag was in the process of editing her film, Maxime Rodinson had already broken a taboo against criticizing Israel with his seminal Israel: A Colonial Settler State? which first appeared in English in 1973. In this slim publication, based on an article initially published in Jean Paul Sartre's Les temps modernes in 1967 as "Israel: Fait Colonial," Rodison documented the racist logic that infused Zionist ideology and praxis (including even its socialist branch). The Zionist leadership, he argued, manipulated the Jewish people into identifying with a fabricated nationalist ideology and thus into Judaizing Arab land at the cost of expelling, excluding, and dominating the local Palestinian population.
Along these lines, and two years after the release of Promised Lands in 1974, the Parisian Maoist collective Groupe Cinéma Vincennes, formed after the events of 1968, released L'Olivier. Shot in sixteen millimeter and in formal documentary mode, this monochrome film, which was recently "re-discovered" by Subversive Film Ltd and shown for the first time by the London Palestine Film Festival, boldly locates the territorial dispute that defines the Palestine/Israel conflict within the history of European racism and shows that the two are inextricably intertwined. If Promised Lands, as described by Sontag, was an attempt to "present a condition rather than an action," then L'Olivier, quite obviously influenced by French existentialism and specifically Jean Paul Sartre's call for a l'art engagée, was very much an appeal to a rising revolutionary consciousness in order to counter the distortions produced by the twin effects of imperialism and capitalism.
[Still image from L'Olivier.]
Many of the issues raised in L'Olivier are not only still relevant, but also more consolidated by almost forty more years of occupation. The film reveals the systematic land confiscation, forced displacement, resource plundering, demolition of housing, collective punishment, arbitrary detention, and construction of illegal settlements occurring under the guise of Israeli self-defense, often with direct approval and support from western governments. None of what is represented in the film in terms of history or Zionist policy practice comes as news to those working in solidarity with the Palestinian resistance to Israel, whether in 1976 or today. In fact, films such as Mustafa Abu Ali's No to a Peaceful Solution (1968), With Our Blood With Our Souls (1971), and They Do Not exist (1974)—as well as later features also produced by the PLO Film Unit, such as Iraqi director Kassem Hawal's Return to Haifa (1982) and other independents like Heiny Srour's feminist take on the Arab/Israel Conflict in Leila and the Wolves (1984)—are already part of an archive documenting the Palestinian version of history and the reasons for continued anti-colonial struggle. Often didactic in form and emphasizing linear representations of history, these compelling films rely heavily on narration and how the perceiver actually encounters it, as well as the use of stills, slogans, poetry, and songs as material; they are directed as much at the Arabic-speaking world as at anti-imperialist struggles elsewhere.
L'Olivier is similar in content and form to films like these. Yet what makes it all the more powerful as a historical document is its refusal to couch the Jewish experience (or even the Palestinian one that it is by extension imbricated in) in the universal language of suffering and pain without first interrogating it. Through its rhetorical content, the history of the territorial conflict is revised with the aim of provoking spectators into awareness of the existence and effectiveness of the dominant frames that represent the conflict in terms of Israel as passive victim and the Palestinian as mindless perpetrator of violence, and consequently to engender a critical attitude towards these frames. This contrasts starkly with Sontag's film, which critiques through its affective language a state of paranoid psychosis resulting from being located in a historical moment that has victimized European Jews.
Despite its sometimes didactic narration, L'Olivier manages to avoid the traps that would lead it to merely sentimentalizing the story of a people, ruthlessly expelled and then occupied. It takes a different route and focuses instead on the existential crisis of European Jewry vis-à-vis notions of identity, the nation, memory, and how the question of Palestine is ultimately incriminated in the manifestations of this crisis. "What did it mean being a Zionist?" one man filmed at an anti-Zionist rally in Jerusalem asks. Pondering his own rhetorical question, he goes on: "It was very different to how the state interpreted it. It was based on an interpretation, in my opinion that the essential problem was a Jewish one. I want to say here that there wasn't a Jewish problem. However, everything was explained through this interpretation. The simple solution was for all Jews to go to Israel and there were people to arrange this. This brings me to the conclusion that I was played."
Since the productions of Promised Lands and L'Olivier, the conflict has undergone some dramatic developments, with major consequences for Israel's claims to victimhood and self-defense. These changes have witnessed the eruption of two Intifadas, the US-led sham "peace" process and its consequent collapse, the rise to power of Binyamin Netanyahu's Likud-dominated government, and the growing power of ethno-religious parties. The building of the illegal Segregation Wall and the rise of the international solidarity movement for the liberation of Palestine have posed previously unimaginable challenges to Israel. Against this backdrop, both films can be read as documentation of the conflict itself as well as its aesthetic representation during certain historical moments. The shot of Palestinians crossing an unthreatening-looking Allenby Bridge in 1973 in Promised Lands has today metamorphosed into a monstrous complex of security with airport-like terminals and machinery to filter out not only Palestinians, but anyone else deemed to threaten the state through pro-Palestinian sentiment or activity. Similarly, the narrative of the wives of prisoners held without trial in L'Olivier are no different than those of hunger strikers languishing without trial in Israeli jails today. This shows just how much more of the same there is when it comes to Zionist policies and practices.
Yet because each film represents and uses the category of history differently, in political, conceptual, and cinematic terms, so each also conceives of and uses the concept of representation differently. Accordingly, we as spectators are able to look for our own causal, spatial, or temporal links to understand what we can of the conflict. It is here that the biggest challenge to the visual representation of the conflict lies. In the same way certain formal devices in filmmaking—such as closure, linearity, and objective narration—can serve ideological ends, so can diffuse strategies and fragmentary approaches. This matters a lot when it comes to visually documenting Israel's historical subjugation of Palestinians on screen, for this particular conflict is as much about the exercise of military and economic imperial power as it is about narration, documentation, and representation.
Re-presenting History
It is thanks to the curatorial competence of the organizers of the London Palestine Film Festival that Mike Hoolboom's Lacan Palestine may be read as an attempt to visually re-present past interpretations of Israel. Hoolboom's striking skill in grappling with the birth of Israel in his stunning work is testament to cinema's ability to deconstruct dominant cultural representations without compromising either political or aesthetic values. It is also a tribute to the world community's growing recognition that the Palestinian plight is indeed valid, genuine, and justified, and that the call to revise the history of the conflict can no longer be ignored.
[Still image from Lacan Palestine.]
Using as a starting point Lacan's psychoanalytic theory of the "mirror stage" and the "alienation" it results in, which describes the early shaping of the ego in response to a clash between one's self-perceived ideal visual appearance and one's actual emotional experience, Hoolboom stunningly juxtaposes the trauma of the ancient Judaic experience against the contemporary pain of the Palestinian one. He hints throughout that while unraveling the layers of history does indeed put in perspective the momentous moments we experience, the moment of trauma when it occurs can never be reduced to mere historical occurrence, precisely because of what are ultimately our "singular" experiences. By stitching together visual imagery already etched into our minds and nestled into our subconscious, Hoolboom probes his spectators to reconstruct the layers that constitute our understanding of nation, community, and tribe. Central to his cinematic essay is the vast archive of visual material reassembled by him into a heart-wrenching story of human pain. Included in this are: epic American Civil War films, scenes from violent Crusader wars, Hollywood productions bursting with orientalist overtones, and even shots from more recent experimental films such as Sontag's Promised Lands and video art works by Velcrow Ripper, Elle Flanders, and Dani Leventhal, sometimes superimposed over the voice of Edward Said and others. The dizzying pastiche of footage is interwoven with iconic images of Israel's brutal occupation, such as the Israeli Army's beating of Palestinians with truncheons dictated by Yitzhak Rabin's "break the bones" policy in the first Intifada, and the horrifying destruction of Gaza in 2009. Ben Gurion's proclamation of the establishment of the Jewish state standing under a statue of Theodore Herzl, founder of Zionism, and accompanying street jubilations are also part of the assembled footage. These images then metamorphose into scenes from films depicting the hedonistic celebrations of the Roman Empire's ruling elite.
A large segment of the film is dedicated to uncovering Britain's role in the violent inception of the state of Israel. In one sequence, Hoolboom takes his spectators on a journey through the passion, drama, secrecy, and tragedy of the inter-war mandate period. This is done through assembling maps, voice-overs, and news footage, such as that of King Abdullah of Trans-Jordan standing alongside British mandate officials, in a nod to the collusion between both over the carve up of Palestine. Other footage recalls BBC commentary from the inter-war period affirming British interest in ensuring a friendly (Jewish) population on the historical land of Palestine at the expense of marginalizing its original inhabitants (Palestinians).
This dizzying series of images is interspersed more than once with the quintessential British icon of drama and conspiracy: the Rolls Royce "spirit of ecstasy" mascot adorning one car driving freely against a backdrop of an ongoing British imperial pomp ceremony. As if adding insult to injury and in a breathtaking end to the sequence, Hoolboom presents us with a shot of two men, one naked, the other in a British army uniform, locked in a passionate embrace lying atop a Union flag. Hoolboom's choice of footage here compellingly recalls British PM David Cameron's suggestion that British aid be cut from those countries with anti-gay rights records, indicating, as sharp criticism warned, a contemporary repeat of imperial Britain's civilizing mission.
"What are these guys doing in jazz combos?" asks filmmaker Mike Cartmell in a voice-over monologue reflecting on his painful personal life experiences by mapping them on to collective ones. He goes on: "Coltrane, no one could play like that. Elvin Jones, nobody could drive a band like that. Each one of these guys is playing something different, but together there is a coalescing of these quite discreet, quite radically different singular expressions." There is a mismatch between what the British Empire, and the violent birth of Israel it helped bring in to being, perceive of themselves, and the reality of the "singular" painful experiences they engendered as a result, Hoolboom seems to be saying. His point is movingly driven home through his Lacanian visual interpretation of the manly outer demeanor of a fearful and timid young Palestinian boy woken up in the early hours of the morning by his mother and forced to mount a bus full of adults to see his imprisoned father in an Israeli jail.
Despite what may be interpreted as his collapsing of the collective and the singular into a morass of parity through his choice of visualizing ancient and near history, the sheer brilliance of Hoolboom's film lies in the fact that he never once loses sight of the reality of the conflict today. Despite never stating it, he is clear on who the perpetrators are and who the victims are in the contemporary conflict in Palestine. He reminds us throughout that history is always part of a living consciousness that pulls together past and present as a way of remaking, reclaiming, and reimagining what we think we already know. And that he does without ever shying away from interpreting the history of a conflict that is in dire need of being re-read and re-told, if it is ever to end.

XIt has been widely speculated that Zydrunas Ilgauskas will return to the Cleveland Cavaliers when and if his contract is bought out by the Washington Wizards.
Well, if he is still a Wizard. Trade deadline rumblings have Z's name being tossed around with a few trade options again (as of 3:15 nothing had happened).
Anyways, a decision to return has little to do with the Cavaliers. It is now out of their hands.
First, the Wizards have to buyout his $11.5 million contract, which would make him available. Because of a kicker in his contract Ilgauskas earned a rumored $600,000 extra for being traded.
Once he is available, he would be free to sign with any team in the league with the exception of the Cavaliers, who must wait 30 days before they can attempt to resign him.
A buyout must take place before march 1 in order for him to be eligible for the playoffs.
It is hard to imagine Z in any uniform other than the Cavaliers. Its all he knows, but it is up for debate on how he is feeling following the trade.
Does he feel used?
Does he feel like he could have a better opportunity to win a title elsewhere?
Can another team offer more money?
``He's moving ahead,'' Ilgauskas' agent Herb Rudoy said in a phone interview Wednesday. ``He's disappointed, but he knows it's a business... He's heard from several very good NBA teams who want to sign him (should he become available).''
It looks like everyone will have to wait and see.
"The Cavs took a risk by trading him and hoping he comes back because they have to get through the Lakers to win a championship," Ilgauskas' agent Herb Rudoy said.

My wife put a stop to me dragging home all the rotten FJ40's I could find.
She looked out the window at the yard and said "these things are leaving or I am". But nothing beats finding the trucks and dragging them home! I dismantled the best one and sold the rest....now I have only one. |

I have not fired it up yet, I will try tomorrow or this evening. The guy said he drove it alot last year but it's been sitting a bit and he hadn't started it. Some fresh gas and some ether will probably get it going. I will probably eliminate the rear seats so name your price and we'll work something out. I think they are in good shape with no rips.

Pandemonium in Indian Parliament over Eezham Tamil, Indo-U.S. issues[TamilNet, Tuesday, 21 October 2008, 09:35 GMT]Uproarious scenes over the issues of plight of Tamils in Sri Lanka, Indo-US civilian nuclear deal and attacks on north Indians in Maharashtra caused the both houses of the Indian Parliament to be adjourned till noon within few minutes of assembling on Tuesday, Press Trust of India reported. When the Lok Sabha met for the day, the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagham, a key partner in the United Progressive Alliance government, raised the issue of plight of the Tamils in Sri Lanka while members of other opposition parties, including the National Democratic Alliance and the Left, were also on their feet raising separate issues, the PTI report said. |

Just got it, seems cool so far. Def better than the stock browser since it syncs my bookmarks and has tabs. |
Is it better than opera mobile? |
Does it blend? I was wondering if there is a rom out for the galaxy s with ICS as the os... |
I find it runs pretty quick and smooth. No major issues thus far, but I'm by no means a heavy phone user. |
It does yeah but it isnt as seemless as Chrome. Chrome is much better than the stock browser imo. Quote:

I have a thing for making different kinds of hummus at home. I've come to realize that you can make any kind of hummus you want. I saw a recipe for Black-eyed Pea Hummus and it sounded really great. Over the past few summers, I have been able to try fresh pink-eyed peas and purple-eyed peas and have acquired a new love for any color of eyed peas. They are delicious fresh and cooked and I knew this hummus would be delicious.
I found a few containers of fresh black-eyed peas and cooked them to make this hummus. I just served it with fresh cut up veggies and it was delightful. When I tried it I thought that it might be my new favorite hummus. Try it and see what you think.
Here is the recipe for Black-eyed Pea Hummus

TCU Concludes Season With Loss To Maryland, 85-73
March 26, 2005 COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) - Nik Caner-Medley got Maryland back to Madison Square Garden. Caner-Medley took charge down the stretch for the Terrapins, scoring eight of his 20 points in the final minutes to help pull out an 85-73 victory over TCU on Saturday and advance to the NIT semifinals for the first time since 1972. Maryland (19-12) will meet South Carolina on Tuesday night. "We're going to New York City, (and) I've never played in Madison Square Garden," Caner-Medley said. "It's always been a dream of mine to play there so it's going to be a good time." Maryland coach Gary Williams felt the same way about playing in New York. "Check who's won it, it's a big deal," Williams said about the NIT. "I'll never get too big to play in the NIT. I've seen some great games there." Caner-Medley started the late charge on a driving jumper with just over three minutes left that gave Maryland a 71-68 lead. After a basket by Chris McCray, Caner-Medley hit a 3-pointer and three free throws for a 79-72 lead with 47.8 seconds left. McCray made six free throws in the final minute as Maryland scored 16 of the game's final 21 points. Five Maryland players scored in double figures, including Mike Jones and McCray, both of whom scored 18 points. Sterling Ledbetter turned in another strong effort at point guard, replacing the injured John Gilchrist (ankle/wrist) and getting two points, six assists and six rebounds. Team officials said Gilchrist probably won't play Tuesday. Travis Garrison added a double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Garrison believes Maryland has played better as a team during its three NIT games, and that is a big reason the Terrapins advanced. "It was a team effort, and everyone was clicking," Garrison said. "To go to New York is a good prize for us." TCU (21-14) stayed close with its 3-point shooting. The Horned Frogs made 11-of-29 long-range shots - but made just one basket overall in the final 6:50 as the Terrapins clamped down defensively.
Corey Santee led TCU with 21 points while Nile Murry added 20. The game featured several runs by both teams. Maryland used a 14-point first-half run to take a 41-30 lead and appeared in command. But TCU answered with a 23-6 streak that gave it a 53-46 lead with 15:21 left. The Terrapins couldn't score for the first 4:08 of the second half but battled back after that dry spell. The 3-point shooting of Santee and Murry kept TCU close early. Santee made five 3-pointers while Murry added three more. The Horned Frogs made 9 of 18 3-pointers in the first half, but Maryland held a 44-43 lead at the break. "The 3-point shots, that's about normal for us," TCU coach Neil Dougherty said. "We don't really have a low-post game. We still were able to slip in there a few times, but it wasn't enough."

I always like to pick up Better Homes and Gardens to look at the homes featured. I think BHG does a great job of showcasing homes that are "real" and "accessible". Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love looking at interiors that will forever be out of my price range, but it's fun to get ideas from homes that are more realistic to what I can afford.
I'd have a big smile on my face too if I walked into that space everyday!
You have to read the article to fully appreciate this, but Amy managed to turn the dining room of her apartment into an extremely well organized office, with the help of an Ikea Expedit Bookcase!
My favorite thing about this room: the window treatments. Ikat with Greek Key trim. Love it!!!
I've mentioned it before, but it's a goal of mine to one day have our home featured in BHG or a similar publication. 1551 isn't quite ready for publishing yet but maybe someday!
Congrats, Amy! You've taken a one bedroom apartment and created a living space that's more cozy and inviting than a lot huge homes.

A holiday tradition in the Vasios household is to decorate clementines by pressing whole cloves into the skin of the fruit. I've always loved the old-timey feel of this activity, as if Charles Dickens himself is going to pop into my dining room and say, "Carrie, my dear, stop being so stingy with those cloves. Who do you think you are, Ebeneezer Scrooge?"
Thus, for me, the smell of orange and clove is intricately tied to Christmas, and baking with them gives me a particular kind of joy. These biscotti are a great way to use those flavors, as well as other traditional holiday spices like nutmeg and cinnamon.
Best of all, a generous portion of chopped, toasted walnuts and dried figs is folded into the batter. (Mr. Dickens, when he visits, can eat these biscotti as a replacement for figgy pudding.) Once the cookies have had their second turn in the oven, the biscotti become beautifully golden and crisp.
I'll be making big batches of these cookies in the coming weeks. Biscotti make an excellent present because they stay fresh for a fortnight or two.

Lavender: Growing Guide
Roy Stevenson is a professional freelance travel writer and photographer based in Seattle, Washington, covering travel and culture, history and…
More From This Author
Located at the tip of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, Sequim has become "America's Provence," the unlikely lavender capital of the United States with more than 50 acres of the beautiful fragrant plants billowing in the gentle breezes of the Sequim-Dungeness Valley.
English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) Zones 5–8, is sweetly fragrant and prized for both its perfume and culinary uses. Compact in stature and with a long bloom season, the semi-woody plants are evergreen with narrow, typically grey-green foliage. English lavender is the hardiest and most widely planted lavender.
- 'Royal Velvet' has especially dark flowers and a sweet smell.
- 'Hidcote' is favored in the kitchen; 'Hidcote Superior' has a particularly uniform growth habit.
- 'Jean Davis' has light pink flowers.
- 'Martha Roderick' blooms with a spicy scent over a long period.
- 'Nana Alba' is a dwarf plant with pure white flowers and narrow grey foliage.
Lavandin sometimes called hedge lavender (Lavandula ×intermedia) Zones 5–8, is a vigorous but sterile hybrid of L. angustifolia and L. latifolia. Plants are large and productive, a favorite for crafting. Lavandin is almost as hardy as English lavender and more tolerant of heat in the summer. Flower fragrance is pungent with notes of camphor.
- 'Provence' has long stems and is good for crafting lavender wands.
- 'Dutch Mill' is tall and hedge-like.
- 'Grosso' is especially fragrant and a favored for making wands, sachets, and bundles.
- 'Fred Boutin' is a favorite for landscaping
Spanish lavender (Lavandula stoechas) Zones 7–9, has a more rangy habit with narrow green foliage. Two to four petal-like bracts that look like rabbit ears top the characteristically purple blossoms. Seeds profusely and can be invasive.

The Governor of Iowa weighed in mendaciously yesterday on the Iowa Supreme Court's abusive ruling on homosexual "marriage," declaring--in a trope familiar to pro-choice Catholic politicians--that, while he personally felt marriage should be a bond between a man and a woman, he couldn't impose his personal, religious preferences which were only "a tenet of my personal faith."
The dishonesty of his position was compounded by his declaration that "I am reluctant to support amending the Iowa Constitution to add a provision that our Supreme Court has said is unlawful and discriminatory," overlooking the fact that such an amendment would not make the provision unlawful or discriminatory under Iowa law.
The real point of the misruling, as with the abortion misrulings over the last 35 years, was to continue the overturn of the influence of traditional sexual morality in public affairs. As with the abortion cases, we see that elected officials will first plead helplessness in the face of judicial activism, and then declare the matter "settled law," as though the law, in this case, were anything other than the whim of the Supreme Court.
The core purpose, as I pointed out earlier, of civil marriage is to establish a social commitment to and privileging of the procreation AND upbringing of children by legally committed pairs of mothers and fathers. Whether or not homosexuals might choose to commit themselves to such relationships is not of interest to this state commitment, since maximising the private pleasure of the married couples is not a state interest, any more than making sure, say, a significant number of Jews choose to enter into the hog-slaughtering business.
What's at issue here is the right of children to a committed mother and father from the first day of their lives, and the means the state takes to promote and defend that right. Presenting the children that some putative homosexuals bring into homosexual relationships as the children of that homosexual pairing, as the Iowa Supreme Court did repeatedly to attempt to obscure that core commitment, strikes directly at the biological reality of the perpetuation both of the nation and of the human race.

Lesson for the day
Be very careful with
reversal trading
its a tough cookie to play been trying for a while with mixed results. I think for me its expecting too much and not getting out as soon as I have profit.
Here's what usually happen to me as I have observed lately when the reversal happen the expectation begun to accelerate so instead of getting out early because its a temporary reversal I will hold thinking I can perhaps milk more. Because it does happen I have experienced that too but deep inside my psyche I also knew it does not happen most of the time the tendency is it will soon resume to its prevailing trend 80% most likely.
But as usual when I'm in the trade, the tendency to ignore the warning and feeling greedy will take over. The end result is me giving back the gains and counting my losses. This event does not happen to me always because I usually chide trading reversals. Its the challenge that attracts me but I'm not experience enough to handle such. Its a learning process that's all but it stinks in a way.
See you next time and good luck to you.

The Republic of Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa. The UK placed the territory under a charter of the Imperial British East Africa Company in 1888, and much of it become a British protectorate in 1894. Several adjoining areas were subsequently added, the country reaching its current extent in 1914 when it became the Protectorate of Uganda. Independence was granted in 1962. In 1963, the country adopted a constitution similar to that of an elected monarchy. However, in 1967 it adopted a republican constitution and became the Republic of Uganda. THE JEWISH COMMUNITY There is a very stable community of about 500 Abayudaya Jews in Uganda, the legacy of a local king who about 100 years ago decided to embrace Judaism instead of Christianity during the British colonialization efforts. Something to look into, these folks are more "forgotten" than the Jews of Ethiopia (though they really aren't as persecuted). Source:

Alexander McQueen Twin Skull Ring from £120
In the wake of Alexander McQueen's dark overtures, this ring plays upon the theme of romantic mannerisms for an inscribed moment of beauty. Mindful of detail with small rosettes set upon the head, this brass piece is flanked with a double spike setting and encrusted in Swarovski crystals, shedding light on the brand's new-season fragility theme for otherworldly sparkle. Silver-tone plated anti-allergic solid brass. Punk skull head with rose details and clear Swarovski crystal teeth. Faceted double spike setting. Interior engraved logo. Designer presentation box and dust bag included. Made in Italy. Due to the hand-finished nature of fashion jewellery, each piece is unique and may have surface irregularities. 100% Brass; 100% Swarovski Crystal.

CM FX350 installed
Just had the clutchmasters FX350 installed yesterday, still breaking it in, but i was surprised that the clutch pedal is easier to depress than OEM. After having a few ACT clutches on other cars i was expecting a stiffer pedal.
Does anyone else have this clutch?, i know it's relatively new. |
I'll be picking up one from Underdog in the next 2-3 weeks. Planning this with OEM SMFW and a TSK3 kit. Interested in your impressions after break in (although I'm buying it regardless). I was planning the 300 until the 350 came out with the full face option.
I'll quote someone much more knowledgable on the subject than I :)
Fuggin-A. Thanks.
The FX350 will be my next clutch (also an OEM SMFW and TSK3) |
The lighter pedal will prevent problems commonly associated with the push-type clutch fork and stiff pressure plates (where the fork will pop off of the pivot ball). |
I'm assuming you are referring to CM and not me - your knowledge you share on this forum is a big part of my understanding of what's worthwhile as far as upgrades/mods on this platform. ;)
Only have about 50miles on it so far since i live <2miles from work, i might go out for a few hours tonite and put some miles on it. It has a higher engagement point that im more used to today than i was when i picked it up, but it still bites pretty hard upon engagement. |
I expect it'll be one of their most popular Subaru clutches if they did things right. |
Things I shouldn't have read.
1. This thread. :lol: Must....resist.....buying!!! In all seriousness, I despise my ACT HD SS when I'm in bumper to bumper traffic. More OEM like pedal feel would be a HUGE bonus to me. Plus I won't ever be over 300whp so it seems like the CM FX 350 may be worth a look eventually... |
What sort of holding power are we talking about for the fx350? I'm sitll okay on my stock clutch in the stage 2 6-speed spec B but I plan on going w/ a bnr 16 or 18g in the near future so I'm thinking over 300whp will be a certainty.
They say it's 110% increase in holding capacity. Same rating as the 300. I know Cryo is running the CM FX300 in his car that's putting down 355WHP/440WTQ with a E85/FP68HTA setup.

Delta Princess
Crouched on the window ledge, he looks intently upon the device, whose purpose is to monitor the electrical activity in the room. Patiently, he waits until the activity oscillates between the frequencies of 1 and 8 hertz.
Below, a light flashes furiously on a watch worn by a shadow.
The shadow speaks to others who appear out of thin air, "Brethren, it is time. All are asleep in the house." These ghosts are ninjas, the most feared assassins from feudal Japanese lore. Often unseen and unheard... until it is too late.
Like ravens called to do a dark master's bidding, they descend upon the house, and for the briefest moment it is shrouded in complete darkness.
Once in the room they neutralize those who would raise the alarm, then the focus of attention is on the doll-like figure that sleeps blissfully, unaware of the mortal danger that she is in.
But all does not go to plan, for soon they are surrounded by armed guards.
Many ninjas from the Broken Path clan would die that night, hoping in vain than one would escape with the bounty. The air soon fills with the scent of blood and gunpowder.
The remaining three present their leader with the prize: the Delta Princess. He is pleased with their efforts, her ransom will be a just reward for the high price that they have paid tonight.
A light flashes furiously from the child's belly before a fireball consumes the last four members of the Broken Path clan.
Betrayal is at hand, for earlier a mysterious phone call was made to the inhabitants of the house. A codeword was uttered.

NET::OpenSSH to execute multiple commandsby hmb104 (Sexton) |
on Aug 24, 2012 at 19:25 UTC ( #989626=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml ) | Need Help?? |
hmb104 has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hello Monks,
I'm writing a very basic script using Net::OpenSSH to connect to some switches and extract some data. I have tried to use Net::SSH and it is really slow and it crashes my system. I have also tried to Expect before, but I really like to use the Net::OpenSSH module. Is it possible to execute more than 1 command in 1 connection using this module?. Any ideas? Also in the foreach loop, can I read from 2 arrays? Like foreach (@arra1 || @arra2)?Thanks for the help.

Tebow's 316 yards leads to Internet salvations
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (BP) -- When outspoken Christian quarterback Tim Tebow threw for 316 yards to help Denver upset favored Pittsburgh in the playoffs, millions flocked to the Internet to search for John 3:16 -- so much so that the day after the game, that Bible verse was the No. 1 search on Google.
As it turns out, some of those Google searches were of eternal significance.
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association reports that more than 150 people have made a decision to accept Christ as their Savior as a result of searching for "John 3:16" in Google and then clicking on an advertisement for the BGEA's PeacewithGod.net website. BGEA can track that data because it began advertising on Google on Monday so that people who searched for "John 3:16" saw an ad for PeacewithGod.net. All total, 8,000 people searching for the verse clicked on PeacewithGod.net.
The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association often uses Google ads to advertise its website. Some examples include searches for "What happens when I die?" and "Does God exist?" The website has tallied more than 1 million visitors since it launched in May.
"We can respond to exactly what people are searching for at that moment -- and it's often a very simple next-step to the Gospel," John Cass, BGEA's director of internet evangelism, was quoted as saying in a BGEA article.
The fact that an outspoken Christian quarterback threw for 316 yards was, some said, not coincidental. Tebow has been known to write "John 3:16" on his eye black. There were other 3:16 curiosities:
-- Tebow's average for his 10 passes was 31.6 yards.
-- The overtime drew a 31.6 television rating.
-- Pittsburgh's time of possession was 31 minutes, 6 seconds.
The Broncos travel to New England Saturday to play the heavily favored Patriots. Tebow's unorthodox quarterback style and his last-minute heroics during the regular season and playoffs have led to a debate over whether God's hand is directly involved in the Broncos' wins. One of the more in-depth treatments to that question was written by Boyce College professor Owen Strachan in The Atlantic. The answer is neither "yes" nor "no," Strachan wrote.
"The Bible says that God oversees everything that happens in this world," Strachan wrote, quoting Jesus in Matthew 10:29: "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny. And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father."
Strachan, who serves at the Louisville, Ky., school, continued, "But is God directly intervening on the football field in the same way that, for example, he did to cause the virgin birth of Luke 2 (in what is called 'primary causation')? That I don't know. It's not clear to my human eyes how this all shakes out. I do know that the Lord is working everything out according to his wise and mysterious counsel which, try as we might, we cannot fully understand."
Even if Tebow has the worst game of his career Saturday and loses, Strachan said, nothing about Tebow's faith -- or God's providence -- changes.
"Sometimes God grants believers great victories, and sometimes he asks them to walk through the fire," Strachan wrote. "This is true whether it is experienced on the football field, in the office, or in a country that rewards outspoken Christianity with a sword to the throat."
Strachan's column is available online at http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2012/01/does-god-care-whether-tim-tebow-wins-on-saturday/251273/.

I have always felt bad for Pete on days with a title, like "Mother's Day." You see I live in a land of high expectation. I was raised watching General Hospital and I think it was burned into my mind that days were filled with high passion and scandalous events. I realize now that most days are filled with passion...just not the kind that Frisco and Felicia had in the 80's. The passion that fills my days is more along the lines of the injustice of somebody taking somebodies mud soup pot. There is genuine passion in those moments.
But over the years I have come to adjust my expectations and realize I may have them set a bit high. But this weekend was just the right mix of wonderfulness that comes with days with a title.
I don't think I have spent Mother's Day with my own mother in a long time. Just being with her was a treat this weekend. The chance to think about her as a mom and who I have become as a mom is so amazing. The life of 2 people bring forth so much more life . And as mother's we are the heart of all that...life.
I was not a perfect mom today. I was not a perfect wife today!
I was me. And I love this job. I love getting to do this everyday...even the hard ones. I love getting to do it with these people. I love seeing their faces and feeling their kisses and hoping to have them with me forever.
I love days with a title!!
Happy Mother's Day
p.s. Ginny...this swift ROCKS!! I love it!! I love that Pete got the one from the Sheep and Wool people. I love winding yarn and I love the little cakes they make. I knew he got it when he thanked you in the comments so I have been DYING for this day to come!!

That's not too common in the oil patch.
Why would Exxon, a company that hasn't exactly been a model citizen on climate change in the past, care?
The EIA reported a 900,000-barrel build in crude inventories, but that was enough to send the commodity, and stocks, skyward Wednesday as analysts were expecting a 2 million-barrel build.
This bullishly biased vertical call spread is not for the faint of heart.

This week, we're introducing you to Janine Benyus. She's giving a keynote speech a the Front End of Innovation Conference with Gunter Pauli entitled, "Inspiration for Innovation: Learning from Nature." Janine Benyus was recognized in 2007 by Time Magazine as a Hero of the Environment.
Benyus is known around the world for her concept of biomimicracy. Biomimicry is defined as "innovation inspired by nature, while looking to the natural world for advice in order to live more sustainably."
Jane cofounded the Biomimicry Guild with Dayna Baumeister in Missoula, Montana. The guild's focus is to teach innovators how to model designs after nature. Their objective is: Our goal is to create products, processes, and policies that create conditions conducive to life. She also was the author of the book Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature. In this book, she elaborates on her theory that when engineering things in the human world, architects should look at the way nature has evolved. Then, in turn, using those designs they will create a very stable and more sustainable product. The first chapter of the book can be read here.
Her purpose is to help everyone see the designs of nature, because it is designed to be sustainable. Since nature has been evolving for 3.8 billion years, it has found the design flaws in around 99% of its organisms (New West). Innovators and engineers should look to nature to innovate their new designs needed in today's environment, in order to be well engineered and sustainable . They are both well engineered and sustainable for the environment (Source: Big Picture TV). Listen to the Living Green podcast featuring Janine Benyus entitled "Biomimicry: Janine Benyus is Honored by TIME" Part One and Part Two. To download the podcasts, visit the Living Green Podcast Page.
So what benefit does innovating your packaging to look function like the exoskeleton of a beetle? Come hear Jane Benyus' keynote speech with Gunter Pauli at the Front End of Innovation Conference May 19th through the 21st. Next week, we'll be profiling keynote speaker Deborah Ancona.

I bought these for my daughter (the only left-hander in the family). She's used them for absolutely everything & finds them comfortable, versatile and exactly what they say they are - real general purpose scissors. She now uses scissors confidently for the first time in her life. Highly recommended.<
Mrs. Catriona Chase
The embroidery scissors have arrived safely and I am very happy with them. I never believed what a difference proper left handed scissors would make to my craft work.
Tahlie, UK
Thank you for the goods which arrived today. As always, the service and quality are excellent.

DVF's Most Inspiring Quotes
In honor of Diane von Furstenberg's birthday, we look back at the designer's best quotes. Plus, take a look back at DVF's most glam moments in photos here.
It's been a big year for Diane von Furstenberg. 2014 was the 40th year anniversary of her iconic wrap dress—the keystone of her fashion empire—and the release of her memoir, The Woman I Wanted to Be and her reality television show House of DVF. In honor of the woman who can do it all, and who inspires all, we've rounded up the best of her incredibly keen, tweetable quotes. Consider her words of wisdom the best way to start out the new year.
1) "I didn't really know what I wanted to do, but I knew the woman I wanted to become."
2) "Insecurity is a waste of time."
3) "Beauty is perfect, in it's imperfections. So you just have to go with the imperfections."
4) "Fashion is mysterious as a rule. Why are blue jeans classic? You just hit on something that happens to be timeless and right."
5) "I don't like to talk about my dreams. I like to make them happen. I prefer to talk about them when they're done."
6) "My best friend is me, and I take good care of me."
7) "I was 26 when I invented the wrap dress. It was just a nothing little printed dress made out of jersey, and before I know it, I lived an American dream making more than 25,000 dresses a week."
8) "Beware of your thoughts for they become words, beware of your words for they become actions, beware of your actions for they become habits, beware of your habits for they become character, beware of your character for it becomes your destiny."
9) "My face carries all of my memories. Why would I erase them?"
10) "The idea of being able to go into Studio 54 alone is what thrilled me the most: again, a man's life in a woman's body."
11) "My definition of beauty is strength and personality. Strength is captivating: the women I've seen in India working the fields in their orange saris, their arms covered with colorful glass bangles; the women working construction in Indonesia, carrying heavy bricks on their heads; the women carrying their children to bush hospitals in Africa. The dignity of these women with their innate elegance is a true inspiration of beauty."
12) "The biggest mistake a woman can make is to not be herself in public or private."
13) "Now is the time to become a myth."
14) "When you pack lightly, you live lightly."
15) "Be a woman. Never forget to be a woman."
16) "Genorosity is the best investment."
17) "Absence is to love, what the wind is to fire, when it's a small fire the wind kills it but when it's a real fire it intensifies it."
18) "Do I believe in reincarnation? Well, let's say that I believe in karma. I think you make your own karma. If you're a good person, the goodness will continue through your descendants."
