Why it matters who's stirring the pot.
Only a few months into her new job, Nancy wondered whether or not she should have said yes to the CEO position at Soup, Inc. Sales were declining, bankruptcy and takeover rumors were swirling, and employee morale had never been lower. The company had lost both flavor and heat; and nobody likes lukewarm soup. How was Nancy going to turn it around? Sometimes the answer you need is right in front of you. On a lunch break, Nancy steps into Grandma's Soup House, a little place she hadn't noticed before, and happens upon an unexpected source of inspiration. New from the best-selling author of The Energy Bus and Training Camp, Soup tells the "stirring" story of how Nancy discovers the key ingredients to revitalizing her company, her team, and herself.
A recipe for success for anyone in any position, Soup delivers the powerful message that the quality of your career, business, and team is determined by the quality of your relationships. People are hungry for positive change and a fresh sense of purpose and passion. If you are ready to stir the pot and lead by example, Soup is a fun and engaging story that supplies you with the tools you need to build a winning team—at work, school, or home.

"There's a common problem in business today. It's a people problem…but maybe not in the way you would think. We spend so much time focusing on the bottom line that many fail to focus on the people who make the bottom line what it is. People matter and how we lead them matters. This is why I recommend Jon Gordon's new audiobook. It provides the recipe for mobilizing and engaging a team." (Chris Brogan, New York Times best-selling author of Trust Agents and Social Media 101)
"Another Fantastic Jon Gordon Book"
I love Jon Gordon books! Very easy "read" with practical information for my business and personal needs!
"Thank God it was only 2 hours and a bit"
Jon Gordon is a decent writer but I have no idea why he insists on narrating his own books. I couldnt take another second of his nasal voice. Supoised to be the advice of a sage grandmother in a nasal, new york accented male... brutal... im deleting the 3rd audiobook I got that he wrote if he is the narrator. Like nails on a blackboard.... stoo being cheap and pay someone who can read to narrate!
"Love the story"
Loved this story and can't wait to stir the pot with love and fill up with appreciation.
"Inspiring AND practical"
Much gratitude for this useful resource!! Something I can truly use with my team. Thank you so much!
"life changing principles"
This book offers real options to help grow and change your culture. a must read
"every manager and leader need to read this book"
if you leave a team or manage a group of people you need to listen to this book are there a different one of the best I've had in a long time
"A book for every company"
I feel that this good offers the necessary tools to turn a company around.! Read this book, I promise is worth it!
"Awesome advice in a great story!"
Loved the narrative story of this "how to" book. Easy to understand and implement practical information. Love the website link.
"Good Relationship building"
Grandmas always know best. Book is a good reminder to always treat your company players with care and compassion.
"Become a leader people LOVE"
The story telling is awesome! I didn't want to stop listening to it. Inspires me to listen to more of Jon Gordon's work!
I loved all the characters equally! I felt like I could visualize them or even know them.
The note from Kathrine about mentoring. It was a turn around mile stone.
Yes. I cried. The impact of it was wonderful. The story was touching.
I would compare it to a lot of John Maxwell's books as well as How to Win Friends and Influence People but in a condensed version with one story that you can visualize unfolding in front of you. I had lots of leadership training in my early 20's but took a break for about 5 years, so this is a wonderful refresher and bottom line to being an excellent leader and cultivating a positive atmosphere.

By Chris Toronyi
The Stoke game has become more about the circus around the game, rather than the simple game of football itself. The build-up all week consisted of discussion around the fans, their manager as well as Ramsey's return to the pitch where he received an injury from which he is still trying to recover. All this instead of the positive result we wanted. We needed.
I wish I could have watched the game live, but I had football practice at 6:30 on Sunday morning (the game kicked off at 5:30am.) Each water break consisted of me frantically checking the score on my phone and of course the emotional roller-coaster that is Twitter. Gotta say the commentary on Twitter didn't disappoint at all. It provided a highly emotional and super charged commentary of every play or chant. What did disappoint on Sunday were the result and what I felt was the utterly cowardly behavior of the home crowd.
Later in the day I finally had a chance to watch the game. My viewing was a bit emotional given the baggage I had picked up on the Twitter. We all know we had chances to win the game, we moved forward as we did against Sunderland last week, but the one comfort is knowing that both of these opponents came to play defense first and defense second. Offense was never a secondary priority in their game plans, but again the execution by the opponent delivered. That hurt to write it, but it's the truth.
But we had chances, the chemistry seemed a little better. More team oriented.
But look, we're a team that's in the discovery phase, we're not in a full-on relationship. We're what you call "dating." We're still trying to understand how we react in certain situations, how we like to receive the ball and most importantly understanding what each player doesn't like. It's all about putting teammates in familiar positions and allowing them to succeed and deliver positive results. There were glimpses of brilliance, but there were also moments where we looked a bit off. It's expected given the maturity of the relationship.
I will again say that our three new signings look very good, especially our new midfield general Santi. He's such a treat to watch both on and off the ball. He's in complete control of this balance and touch throughout the game. We're all very blessed to have him wearing red and purple.
The goals will come, the full points will come too. We need to be patient with this new group of talented individuals. I'm not trying to be preachy, just logical and rational. Hate may be easy but it's just illogical. Just look at booing of Ramsey.

Before I head out to look for it, it says its in on amazon, but does anyone know if its in stores (walmart, barnes and nobles) yet?
I just picked it up from my local Borders.
So, yes it is out in stores.
I thought the book wasn't due out until Monday of next week.:eek
Can someone tell me why Sacrifice isn't out in paperback yet? I read it was coming out in April.
Umm, because it's February right now, not April.
As for Revelation, today is the official release date.
Right. But that doesn't answer my question. If I asked why it wasn't coming out this month you would be correct. Fortunately that's not really what I asked and I don't like being talked to like I'm stupid.
Sacrifice comes before Revelation and Fury, but both are coming out in paperback before Sacrifice.
Maybe somebody who actually can help will.
He's pretty much right dude, it's not April yet, thus no Sacrifice paper back. Speaking of the LotF.. I gotta run to Walmart soon, but knowing them...
Regarding the Sacrifice Paperback, usually paperbacks of hard cover books don't come out until a long time after the hardback version is released, and Inferno, Fury, and Revelation, are (in my opionion) More important then the paperback version of one of the earlier novels in the series.
I know this may come as a shock, but I buy books. I know how paperbacks come out after hardcover books (gasp!).
What I'm saying is why are books 6 and 7 released in paperback BEFORE book 5? Especially since Sacrifice seems to have a pretty important plot point in it. I only read the paperbacks so for me it sucks that they release 4 then 6 then 7 then 5.
Surely you can't think that I would wonder why a book is due out in April and isn't yet purely because I didn't realize it wasn't April.
Well I see what you mean, but Sacrifice was to be Karen's Hardback in the series, and then also immediately releasing a paperback version of the same book makes no sense, or dollars for that matter, from a business point of view.
I've been catching up on LOTF and not reading at release so are the majority coming out in paperback and only select ones in hardback? If so, then it makes sense that it would be coming out later than the others.
Yes, that's how it's happening.
Each other of the 3 writing the series gets 1 hard back and 2 paperbacks, in each set of 3, there are 2 paperbacks and one hard back, and it goes in a cycle, so it ends up happening like this:
Hope that helps.
I could probably send you my hardcover sacrifice as long as you send it back. I dont ever read books twice. I realize how add I am, and it dissapoints me.
I had intended to go back to the boba stuff, and see who makes appearances, but other than that itll just sit in a box.
I have a jumbo box, with almost every book in it.
I cant get into the prequil books at all. I found the old anakin boring compared to anakin solo:)
The only thing i hate about hard covers is that when they reach paperback i never know if i read them or not. Like the zahn book allegiance, i dont know if i read it or not.

Notes on porting SHMEM codes from the Cray T3E to the SGI Origin
[ Many thanks to Alan Wallcraft of NRL for this article. ]
SGI does not currently support Co-Array Fortran (although it would be very easy for them to do so), but they do provide the SHMEM library for Origin systems. It is part of the MPT (Message Passing Toolkit) module, which you may need to explicitly load at login.
The man pages, intro_shmem, say that SHMEM compilation should use: cc -64 c_program.c -lsma CC -64 cplusplus_program.c -lsma f90 -64 -LANG:recursive=on fortran_program.f -lsma f77 -64 -LANG:recursive=on fortran_program.f -lsma If libsma isn't found, you probably need to load the MPT module.
On the Origin, there must be enough free disk space in /var/tmp, or $TMPDIR, to memory map all static memory (on all PEs) when starting a SHMEM job.
All SHMEM programs must start with CALL START_PES(npes), where npes can be a positive integer or 0. If npes is zero, the number of PEs is taken from the environment variable NPES. START_PES is also allowed on the T3E (although it has no effect), so a portable program should include it.
On the T3E, SHMEM_PUT and SHMEM_GET always transfer 64-bit objects (i.e. default REAL or INTEGER objects). On the Origin, SHMEM_PUT and SHMEM_GET are not available, presumably because both INTEGER and REAL are 32-bit by default. A portable program should replace these with type-specific calls, such as SHMEM_REAL_GET and SHMEM_INTEGER_GET. On the Origin there is no need for the target and source array to be aligned in memory on a 64-bit boundary (as there is for efficient 32-bit get on the T3E).
If your program relies on REAL or INTEGER being 64-bit, there are compiler switches on the Origin that will make this the default. Note however, that -i8 (default 64-bit INTEGER) is dangerous because most system calls (including SHMEM) expect 32-bit INTEGER arguments. The -r8 and either -d8 or -d16 switches are safer and may simplify porting of T3E codes requiring 64-bit REAL. I prefer using explicit REAL*4 or REAL*8, which is as portable as the more general F90 KIND approach. In any case, the 4-byte and 8-byte SHMEM routines, such as SHMEM_GET4 and SHMEM_GET8, should then be used as appropriate to transfer REALs. Note that the Fortran standard requires REAL and INTEGER be the same size, so 64-bit REAL and 32-bit INTEGER is not standard Fortran. This is typically only an issue if REAL and INTEGER variables are equivalenced, either explicitly or implicitly via (say) a redefined common block.
Symmetric objects (accessible via SHMEM) on both T3E and Origin systems include those in common blocks or with the SAVE attribute in Fortran and non-stack C and C++ variables. Fortran arrays allocated with shpalloc, and C and C++ data allocated by shmalloc are also symmetric on both systems. However, #pragma symmetric and !DIR$ SYMMETRIC directives are only available on the T3E.
The intro_shmem man page indicates that "asymmetric accessible" data objects (e.g. stack variables) are not available to SHMEM on the Origin. These are probably rarely used even on the T3E.
The Origin is a non-uniform memory access (NUMA) system, but SHMEM start-up processing automatically ensures that the process associated with a SHMEM PE executes on a processor near the memory associated with that PE. The intro_shmem man page includes a discussion of environment variables that can be used to tune memory placement, but they are rarely necessary.
A SHMEM program is SPMD (Single Program Multiple Data), and performance is typically controlled by the slowest process. Unlike on the T3E, processes do not automatically get dedicated access to a processor on the Origin. Also there is no distinction between application and command processors. It is very important that the total number of active processes be no larger than the number of physical processors on an Origin. This is largely a system management issue (e.g. correct batch queue setup, etcetera). A few processors should also be "reserved" for the operating system. This can be significant on small Origins, for example a 28-PE SHMEM job will probably run faster than an equivalent 32-PE job on a 32-processor Origin. Most large Origins will not "over subscribe" processors - in fact this is a DoD HPCMP requirement for all its large machines of any kind. However, some Origins are configured primarily for single processor jobs and may have more active processes than processors. A SHMEM job might run 10x slower in such an environment than on an under-subscribed system.
Some T3E SHMEM programs only work because how long a given operation takes is highly repeatable on the T3E. For example, a BARRIER might be skipped because the timing is such that the data it is protecting is always available when needed. This is poor programming practice, even on the T3E, and such programs will typically fail on the Origin. Often there is no intent to rely on timing, but if the T3E program always works there is no indication that a barrier is "missing" (until the program fails on the Origin).
On the other hand, global barriers are so fast on the T3E that there is a tendency to add more barriers than necessary. Barriers are significantly more expensive on the Origin, so all unnecessary barriers should be removed. (This is also true of MPI programs, which almost never need MPI_BARRIER for correctness but may include extra MPI_BARRIER calls if targeted for the T3E only.)
In many cases, optimal Origin SHMEM performance can only be obtained by replacing global barriers with local (PE to PE) synchronization. One good way to do this is to use the Co-Array Fortran SYNC_ALL(WAIT) routine, because on the Origin this can use local synchronization while on the T3E it can still use a hardware global barrier. It also has built-in deadlock detection. An alternative is to write your own synchronization operators using SHMEM_PUT and SHMEM_WAIT_UNTIL or SHMEM_WAIT.
The wall clock time required for a given SHMEM program is more variable on an Origin (i.e. more dependent on system load) than on a T3E. A variation of about 5% between runs would be typical.
Despite the long list of differences above, it is typically fairly easy to convert an existing T3E-only SHMEM program so that it runs efficiently on both the T3E and the Origin. Compaq and IBM also have SHMEM libraries for some of their machines, so SHMEM is becoming more viable for writing portable SPMD programs. An alternative might be MPI-2 put/get, which is partially implemented on the SGI Origin and Sun E10000. One-sided communication (e.g. SHMEM or MPI-2 put/get) is typically faster (i.e. has lower overall latency) today on machines with a hardware global memory system than MPI-1 message passing. However, this may be due to sub-optimal MPI-1 implementations from some vendors - since Sun MPI message passing is very fast on the E10000 and about equivalent in efficiency to MPI-2 put/get.

You always to great work but I feel like you're coasting here.
Thanks for your opinion, but I wholeheartedly disagree. Yes, I could have added a bunch of stuff all over the shirt like buttons, patches, vests, etc. but it's my opinion that it would look cheesy and no one would want to wear it. It's the equivalent to a tuxedo shirt, which rightfully has the place as one of the dumbest fad shirts ever conceived. I very purposefully exercised restraint in adding extraneous details.
It doesn't have to have a bunch of fake stuff plastered all over the shirt to make it a costume, it simply has to convey the concept that when the person is wearing the clothing, he or she "becomes" something else. Since everyone seems to be clear that the person wearing this is the giant in Jack and the Beanstalk then it definitely qualifies as a costume. And as for coasting, I spent 3-4 hours on this and it wasn't particularly easy.
Re: Mano, Hand of Fate
Rad design but is this really a costume? If I'm wearing this at a party and someone says, "what are you dressed as?" what do I say? Maybe I'm just out of it and there's some well known character than goes around with a hand poking out of his stomach.

Arsenal training in China - Picture special
Arsenal's first-team squad concluded a busy day in China with a training session as they prepare to face Hangzhou Greentown on Saturday.
Around 1,500 fans attended the session and the Hangzhou coach was also there to catch a glimpse of his team's opponents this weekend.
Arsene Wenger put the players through their paces and our Club photographer was there to send back these exclusive images.

I got a U.S. Divers belt buckle from eBay recently. I got mine for $40, but I've seen them go for upwards of $75.
If anyone's interested in trying to make their own buckle out of something like aluminum, here's a blueprint. You'd probably want to use 16 or 20 gauge material.
The dotted lines indicate a bend, except the lateral dotted line on the buckle base, which indicates an optional rolled groove (that my buckle has). I'll try to find a picture of that.
The PDF template is intended to be printed at 100%. Enjoy!

In 2004, when I was starting a new job at the National Institute on Aging's Intramural Research Program I began evaluating products to meet FISMA requirements for file integrity monitoring. We already purchased a copy of Tripwire, but I was being driven mad by the volume of alerting from the system. I wanted something open source. I wanted something that would save me time, rather than waste 2 hours a day clicking through a GUI confirming file changes caused by system updates and daily operations.
At the time, I found two projects: Samhain and OSSEC-HIDS. Samhain is a great project that does one thing and does that one thing very well. However, I was buried in a mountain of FISMA compliance requirements and OSSEC offered more than file integrity monitoring; OSSEC offered a framework for distributed analysis of logs, file changes, and other anomalous events in the same open source project.
I now work at Booking.com and manage one of the world's largest distributions of OSSEC-HIDS. My team and I are active contributors to the OSSEC Community. After nearly a decade of experience deploying, managing, and extracting value from OSSEC, I was approached to write a book introducing new users to OSSEC. After 6 months of work, the book has been published!
Instant OSSEC Host-based Intrusion Detection
We use ElasticSearch at my job for web front-end searches. Performance is critical, and for our purposes, the data is mostly static. We update the search indexes daily, but have no problems running on old indexes for weeks. The majority of the traffic to this cluster is search; it is a "read heavy" cluster. We had some performance hiccups at the beginning, but we worked closely with Shay Bannon of ElasticSearch to eliminate those problems. Now our front end clusters are very reliable, resilient, and fast.
I am now working to implement a centralized logging infrastructure that meets compliance requirements, but is also useful. The goal of the logging infrastructure is to emulate as much of the Splunk functionality as possible. My previous write-up on logging explains why we decided against Splunk.
After evaluating a number of options, I've decided to utilize ElasticSearch as the storage back-end for that system. This type of cluster is very different from the cluster we've implemented for heavy search loads.

If you haven't looked at OSSEC HIDS, here's the overview:
OSSEC is a scalable, multi-platform, open source Host-based Intrusion Detection System (HIDS). It has a powerful correlation and analysis engine, integrating log analysis, file integrity checking, Windows registry monitoring, centralized policy enforcement, rootkit detection, real-time alerting and active response.
It runs on most operating systems, including Linux, OpenBSD, FreeBSD, MacOS, Solaris and Windows.
I do most of my work over SSH. Even when I'm working in my browser or pgAdminIII, I'm usually doing that over SSH tunnels. VPN Software has been around for quite some time and it's still mostly disappointing and usually run by the least competent group in any IT department. I developed a workflow using SSH from my laptop, either on the corporate network or at home, I can ssh /directly/ to the server I'm interested in working on.
In order to accomplish this, I have made some compromises. First off, if I'm SSH-ing from my home, I am /required/ to type the fully qualified domain names (FQDN) when workign remotely. I use the presence of the domain name to activate the proper leap frogging. I also decided to use ControlMaster's with SSH that can leave me with a terminal without a prompt when I forget which shell is my master. Overall, the pros outweigh the cons and I'm more productive because of it.
First things first. I've stated that you should drop everything and install Graphite. If you didn't already, please do that now. Go ahead, I'll wait.
Good? Good. I don't frequently insist on anything like I do with Graphite. There's a lot of reasons for that. If you don't believe me, please see @obfuscurity's awesome Graphite series on his blog.
When you get back we'll talk about how to monitor ElasticSearch with Graphite for fun and profit!
The reaction to my Central Logging post has been significantly greater and more positive than I could've expected, so I wanted to recap some of the conversation that came out of this. I am pleasantly surprised by most of the comments on the Hacker News Thread. So, here's a real quick recap of the responses I've received. I will continue this series this weekend with more technical details.
I have worn many hats over the past few years: System Administrator, PostgreSQL and MySQL DBA, Perl Programmer, PHP Programmer, Network Administrator, and Security Engineer/Officer. The common thread is having the data I need available, searchable, and visible.
So what data am I talking about? Honestly, everything. System logs, application logs, events, system performance data, and network traffic data are key requirements to making any tough infrastructure decision, if not key to the trivial infrastructure and implementation decisions we have to make everyday.
I'm in the midst of implementing a comprehensive solution, and this post is a brain dump and road map for how I went about it, and why.
It's true isn't it? In the name of serving pages faster, strip out unnecessary CPU cycles from rendering the underlying HTML. How often do you actually post to your blog anyways? That's what I thought.
This post is brought to you by HiD which is a Perl version of the Jekyll Dynamic to Static content management system.
I married a Statistician, so this article sums the lectures I receive on a daily basis. Risk Management is statistical analysis, and I'm not sure how many folks in IT Security have Graduate level Stat exposure. So, the understanding of our statistical shortcomings is key. You need to read that entire article, twice. This statement struck me, as I've noticed a scary trend in IT Security:
"People who know a little bit of statistics - enough to use statistical techniques, not enough to understand why or how they work - often end up horribly misusing them. Statistical tests are complicated mathematical techniques, and to work, they tend to make numerous assumptions. The problem is that if those assumptions are not valid, most statistical tests do not cleanly fail and produce obviously false results."
As we outsource more security, and buy more products, we must be careful, as this statement is also true:
"People who know a little bit of IT Security - enough to use an IDS or SIEM, not enough to understand why or how they work - often end up horribly misusing them. Security tools use complicated technical techniques, and to work, they tend to make numerous assumptions. The problem is that if those assumptions are not valid, most security tools do not cleanly fail and produce obviously false results."
My wife's constant guidance in Statistics has been invaluable to my evaluations of IT Security Policy and Implementation. When I came across this article thanks to @alexhutton, I had to share it!
For several years I've managed to bend cfEngine 2.0's architecture to my will. Being an experienced Perl programmer, I was able to abuse the configuration language snytax in order to accomplish a number of strange things including copy back and automated management of OSSEC-HIDS. However, there comes a point when the managing the cfengine configs becomes a burdensome and incredibly unmanageable. I mean, sure, I know what they do. How will any of my co-workers understand them? After several colleagues recommending Puppet, I hesitantly began the slow, brain fscking process of:
- Understanding exactly what I had accomplished with cfEngine.
- Understanding Ruby (ugh, I'm so thankful for Perl)
- Understanding how to express my cfengine feelings in a way Puppet will understand without hurting it's feelings
- ...
- Profit.

This shirt is MACTACULAR!
Apple killing speed? Ehh...
You can clean up that apple mess with an iPad really easily.
It's not like you'd waste anything, those things are garbage anyhow.
I guess my first reaction is that Apple doesn't support flash.
Looks like Macs are very good at killing speed...
Does this mean that Steve Jobs is the wicked queen?

But, apparently Apple doesn't like Queen's music...
This has been an ongoing debate and heated discussion over at Icrontic.com for quite some time. I'm going to have to get this, pronto, to wear at the next Icrontic Expo.
Hell, one of their latest articles was Five reasons why you don't need a Mac, and they were five VERY compelling reasons.
I love this shirt. Bought it as soon as I saw it.
Woot, i was the first sucker.
So good! Apple doesn't support flash
For those not in the know...
Initial Adobe commentary:
Steve Job's thoughts:
Adobe, moving on:
** EDIT ** added hyperlinks and headings
Hahahahahahaha .... I see what you did there... very nice. Quite topical, too... well played sir! Nice design!
For those who don't get it, here's Steve Jobs's open letter on why the iPhone and iPad don't support Adobe Flash Player:
An apple a day keeps the doctors away. But so does running at the speed of light.
Is this Woot's half-arsed attempt to appease us for not printing the [much cleverer] Flash/blender shirt from the Double-Take?
Sorry Woot, consider me thoroughly unimpressed.
He must have been a PC.

Lets face it though, flash > apple anyday.
Who really eats white, hardened apples? Quite frankly, the guy was asking for food poisoning.
love it, might have to pick up a couple
I don't think Steve Jobs will be buying this shirt.
So that's why my friend died when he touched the Apple logo... apparently a touch was enough to kill him, not even a bite. And apparently, he was related to Flash
This is full of awesome and win.
Here's a few more articles to shed light on the situation:
Just awesome.
i just think its interesting that flash's right foot looks like a banana
Hilarious! I'm buying 1 for my friend S. Jobs!
I wonder if this will come in time to wear for the WWDC? May have to overnight this one.
Ha ha...well done sir.
I don't suppose this is a special mock-turtleneck version of the standard Woot Tee?
Wow, this has got to be one of the nerdiest shirts I have seen here on Woot. Unfortunately in my circle of friends, no one would get the meaning of this shirt and I would grow tired of having to explain it every time I wore it.

Yorkie: Not Just For The Blokie
The majority of us in the UK will remember the controversial 2002 campaign for the chunky, 'King size, not Queen sized' Yorkie chocolate bar. This campaign's primary slogan stated daringly: 'It's Not For Girls'.
My younger brothers found the campaign a great novelty and drew amusement by purposefully eating the blue-wrapped bar with over-exaggerated pleasure while simultaneously boasting and proclaiming that because I was a girl, I wasn't allowed to consume the chocolate. Be it petty child-like banter on display, it was clear that the story ran much deeper. Nestle (the company that makes the candy bar) pretty clearly implied through their slogans that women are inferior, if only to persuade males (in particular young male children) to purchase a chocolate bar.
The overall reaction to the campaign …


text: Firestorm - Unregistered March 15, 2013 2:17 PM I wonder why Crash.net didn't add Force India to this group. They didn't look much faster than Sauber. Maybe McLaren too should be added alongside Force India, Sauber, Williams and Toro Rosso as a midfilder. I said that but I hope that McLaren will be much faster tomorrow. I always dreamed for 5 top teams in a F1 season and I thought I got they this year. I hope that it comes true and McLaren belongs to the top teams, so I expect them to improve significally during the season and the improvement must start tomorrow with both drivers in the top ten in qualifying and race. 2 agree 5 disagree

The great outdoors
October 4th, 2010
We don't really think that hiking boots with heels are the most practical of footwear, but whether you enjoy hiking or not, we think that the great outdoors look is one of the easiest and most wearable trends of the season. The key to this trend is all in the detail; a checked shirt, knitted layers and shearling trim all go to create and cosy and comfortable look that will see you though the changing seasons. A good place to start if you'd like to master this trend is with a simple checked shirt. Our super flattering check shirt in neutral tones works great with jeans and is cut to fit your boobs with no gapping button holes in sight! Its empire shape will make the most of your waist whilst the pleat sleeve and shoulder detailing add femininity. We also like the oversized shirt look go for check or denim and wear with leggings and boots for easy autumn dressing; you can also save a few pennies by raiding your man's wardrobe for a suitable shirt! The trick then is to build up your layers depending on the weather. Layers of lightweight knitwear and jersey wear will make it easier to adjust to the changing climate. Shearling is massive this season from shearling or sheepskin trimmed aviator jackets to bags, boots and more. However, don't be tempted to over do it, the shearling detailing should focus on one area so choose carefully which piece to wear to avoid looking OTT! Embrace the neutral trend and give your jeans a rest with a pair of utility style trousers. These look great worn in place of your regular jeans just add a few cosy layers and a pair of boots and you've got autumn's urban outdoors look down to a tee! Our utility trousers in stone with panel and stitch detailing are just the trick! And finally, pile on the layers to complete the look. Socks, scarves, cardigans and gloves can be added when the temperature drops.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by coynejeremy, Jul 2, 2009.
i fixed the link
We would not have problems scoring with that trade... Stuckey / Bynum 6th man Gordon Prince Boozer Villanueva More importantly, I would look forward for Boozer's contract to come off the books for Cap Space in 2010 which we would ultimately use to land a big time FA or through a trade.
I would much rather have Boozer in a contract year than have him just after signing a contract that he isn't completely thrilled about.
NBA Trade Rumor: Rip Hamilton for Carlos Boozer | Dime Magazine (www.dimemag.com) : Daily NBA News, NBA Trades, NBA Rumors, Basketball Videos, Sneakers
Hamilton is on his way out...This is why we signed Deron Washington Hamilton is all the sudden the oldest player on the team...And the most paid..
This story is picking up a lot of steam. Isn't Boozer above average in pick and roll? The few games that I have seen when Utah was playing he seems to play this very well.
Deron Williams and Boozer make a great pick-and-roll combo....Seems like Boozer does well when he gets multiple isolations and pick-and-roll/pop opportunities Next season would be a lot more exciting if this trade goes down ..
It would be great to get rid of Rip's contract for an all star big in his last year of contract, but we would still have no center except Kwame, i also don't think CV playing the 3 is a good idea, that's if he would not come of the bench and Tay would still be our staring SF.
Boozer and Ben Gordon would be a muderous combonation on the P&R.
And we get Capp Spayce back after the next season to boot.
Boozer is a very good pick and roll/pop player, in part because of his solid jump shot from the elbow. But do we have a guard capable of running pick and rolls with him? That is the question.
i hate to be negative, but what is the difference between paying ben/charlie and waiting to 2010 for a better crop of free agents and more money. Maybe Joe is foward thinking, but how forward is the question. Is this year suppose to be mediocre as well?
Ben Gordon. I mean seriously, would you give that dude an open look? Boozer, Dyess, CV or whoever is goingto get some nice looks playing P&R with that lil dude.
Very run-of-the-mill trade. Not a statement of aggression and he leaves anyway...proving what? Better to have Arney check out Brand. With an nodding wink from him, we go after a major talent and the team solidifies around him. Back in the finals within 1-2 years. This stops the dissolving JD mirage I currently see on exhibition.
There is probably not going to be as many as most think as most players do re-sign with their old teams in spite of all the grandstanding. Secondly who would want to come to a 20-30 win team which is what we would have been going into the season with what we had.
This trade actually works!!!! RealGM: Trade Checker 3 way deal: Det, Hou, and Utah. Houston trades Rip for Battier, straight up (Hayes is thrown in as filler and waived). Battier is a great role player and all, but Hou needs some scoring from the SG position something terrible, they're starting Ariza at the SG spot right now. They'll miss Hayes for 30 days, but they'll be aiight. Utah gets Max (and waives Hayes), so that they can start Milsap at PF, Max would do much better playing under Jerry Sloan. This move will shave Utah $5.1M off their salary cap and save them $10.2M in cash, they are going to lose Booze anyway, might as well get something for him. Det gets Boozer and Battier, look at this lineup. PG: Stuckey / Bynum SG: BenG / Prince SF: Prince / Battier / Daye PF: Boozer / Charlie V / Wilcox / JJ / Summers C: Ben / Kwame / Wilcox. If all parties were all in for it, would you make this move?
Yes. And I would use the season as a big fat audition to determine whether Booze would be re-signed next year.
Couldn't get the link to work, but oh yeah.
Sorry RealGM: Trade Checker Assuming T-Mac ever gets healthy would have a decent lineup Brooks(Lowry) / Rip(T-Mac) / T-Mac(Ariza) / Scola (Landry) / Hayes(Yao-eventually) Right now Utah is about $15M over the lux cap, they need relief bad!!!! Their bankers must be thrilled about this season, next years profits should be enough to cover the interest on their line of credit.
Separate names with a comma.

Over the weekend, one of the most reputable online retailers in the US, Zappos, broke the news that its database was hacked and that the information for about 24 million user accounts was breached.
How do stories like this affect consumers' attitude toward online privacy? In our August 2011 Community Speaks Qualitative Insights report, "Consumer And Online Privacy: How Much Information Is Too Much?" (available for Community Speaks subscribers only), we found that online privacy is one of the most concerning topics in online users' minds. Two-thirds of US online consumers report being very concerned about the recording and collection of their personal details by websites.

{last updated November 1st, 2012}
This OS X and Windows guide will teach you how to jailbreak various devices using redsn0w 0.9. The current version of redsn0w 0.9 is 0.9.15b3. Note this is a TETHERED JAILBREAK, meaning you will need to connect your device to redsn0w any time you fully reboot.
This guide should be used with the following device/firmware combinations (if you're not sure, here's how to find your iOS firmware version and how to find your iOS device type):
- iPhone 3GS | 6.0
- iPhone 3GS | 6.0.1
- iPhone 4 | 6.0
- iPhone 4 | 6.0.1
- iPod touch 4G | 6.0
- iPod touch 4G | 6.0.1
NOTE: Old bootrom iPhone 3GS models will have an untethered jailbreak on iOS 6 using this same method.
You will need:
- The Mac version of redsn0w 0.9.15b3 from mod.my/redsn0wmac0915b3 or the Windows version of redsn0w 0.9.15b3 from mod.my/redsn0wwin0915b3.
- iPhone 4 OR iPod touch 4G OR iPhone 3GS running iOS 6.0 or 6.0.1.
- Your iOS 6.0 firmware file for the device you're jailbreaking (Felix Bruns has a great listing of the links).
Step 1: To begin, plug in the device, launch redsn0w 0.9.15b3, and click on the Extras button:
Step 2: Once you get to the screen below, click on the Select IPSW button:
Step 3: Select the iOS 6.0 firmware (even if you're on iOS 6.0.1) for the device you have plugged in and then click on the Open button:
Step 4: redsn0w will alert you that the firmware you chose will be used for the rest of your redsn0w session. Click OK:
Step 5: Now you can head back to the first screen of redsn0w and click on the Jailbreak button:
Step 6: Place your iOS device into DFU mode by pressing and holding both the home and sleep button together for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, keep holding home, but release the sleep button. As soon as redsn0w sees your device in DFU mode, redsn0w will go through and prepare your jailbreak data and you can release the home button:
Step 7: Now you will see a new redsn0w screen that will have "Install Cydia" checked, just click Next to continue:
Step 8: redsn0w will begin the process of jailbreaking your iOS device. This process may take a few seconds to a minute and you will see multiple loading bars in the application:
Step 9: Soon after, redsn0w will say that the process is complete. Click the Back button:
Wait for the device to boot back up to the lock screen and then continue.
Now your device is successfully jailbroken. However, it's a tethered jailbreak, so you will need to boot it tethered. Follow these steps to do so:
[Optional] Go back through steps 1-4 to verify your firmware. This is a good idea to prevent errors.
Step 1: Put your device back into DFU mode by following the steps in Step 6 above.
Step 2: From the main window, click the Extras button:
Step 3: Click on the Just Boot button to boot the device in a tethered state:
Step 4: redsn0w will begin to boot up your iOS device, just wait:
Step 5: When redsn0w says you're done, you can wait for the device to turn back on and start using Cydia:
Congratuations! You're running a tethered jailbreak on your iOS 6 limera1n device!
Note: Some jailbreak tweaks are not yet ready for iOS 6.

Home ⋅ Thank You Notes and Photo Baby Thank You Cards ⋅ Floral & Botanical ⋅ Other ⋅ Patterns
"I wasn't sure about this design, I am not a huge fan of everything being pink just because I have a baby girl, however I picked the option for my picture being black and white and it came out so adorable with the pink background. The quality of the paper is great! Very sturdy paper/stationary.I also chose to have our return address put on the envelope and it gave it and elegant look and saved me so much time. I should have ordered more, I only ordered 30 and now there are so many more people I'm thinking I could have sent this to that would've really liked a picture of our daughter rather than a plain thank you card. I wasn't expecting such great quality and such a good looking card so I didn't want to order too many. Now I know what to expect from this company and I will definitely be ordering again!"

iranian President Ahmadinejad once again proved he is a man whose mouth barely disguises his ignorance of what is important to Muslim people in the world. The Iranian government angrily disassociated itself from an Arab and Islamic attempt to reach out to Israel with a peace plan that could restore stability and foster economic prosperity to the Middle East. The Ahmadinejad government is furious the advertisement calling for Israel to agree to restore the 1967 borders contained pictures of the flags of all nations including that of Israel. The Iranian government told newspapers it was furious that Arab leaders were agreeing to broker peace with Israel whom it termed an "illegitimate" regime. It does not want its flag displayed in any such effort because the Iranian government is committed to violence, distrust, and hate as the only way to bring peace to the region.
The Palestinian Authority which is obviously directly involved in these negotiations took the initiative of placing the ad in Hebrew language newspapers. A Saudi Arabia newspaper published the ad but a Jordanian one refused. What exactly do those opposing the advertisement propose–continue the present non-functioning peace process? More violence? More hate?

Reluctant MAC Purchases
I'd first like to start out by saying: I am not in the habit of putting on a full face of makeup to go try on and purchase NEW makeup. Doesn't make sense to me. I like to go to the cosmetic counters bare faced, so that I can actually see my skin. I completely understand that without my makeup, I look like dog-food to SA's.
I strolled into my local MAC store, one afternoon, Friends & Family coupon in hand, to exchange a Tendertone that I had purchased online (in hopes of avoiding this type of situation.) I was immediately approached by "James," a 20-something drag queen SA. "Let me show you our new collections," he insisted, pulling me to the Neo Sci-Fi, Tendertones and Cool Heat displays. I smiled politely, thinking, "All ready seen it, all ready have it" but I looked along anyway and pretended I cared.
I love makeup. And I love makeup stores. But I almost always dislike the people selling it to me. I wish I could look and experiment on my own (without any interruption or annoying sales pitch) but I'm almost always pressured into purchasing something I don't need or want. So, anyway, I threw "James" a bone and let him put some foundation on me, then humored him in putting eyeshadow on me. He used a wide selection of shadows along with a fluidline and mascara, then went over each, asking me if I wanted it. They really don't believe you when you say, "I have that." (They must think it's some sort of exaggeration or lie, when in reality, it's the truth.)
Anyway, there was one thing that "James" and I agreed on. It was that eye concealer should be the same color as your skin, not lighter. I don't have very dark circles under my eyes, so this is adequate coverage, plus as an Korean girl, I always need to dot some concealer at the lower outer corners of my eyes. He chose MAC Studio Finish Concealer SPF 35 - NW25 ($15.50.) This covers it perfectly, and also covers redness around the nose.
For foundation he used MAC Mineralize Satinfinish SPF 15 Foundation - NW30 ($28.) When I got it home, I thought it was too light, but somehow when its blended in it looks right. It provides a smooth, luminous, satin finish. I use Tarte's Smooth Operator Primer beforehand and it stays on most of the day.
I wasn't a fan of "James'" eye shadow application, but he did a pretty good job blending everything together with the MAC 222 Tapered Blending Brush ($30) and using the windshield-wiper method. It's great for blending. So in the end, I thought he had a kind of crappy attitude, but I did walk away with some stuff I actually like.

1 What is it?
Reactive-banana is a library for Functional Reactive Programming (FRP).
The goal is to create a solid foundation for anything FRP-related.
- Users can finally start experimenting with graphical user interfaces based on FRP as the library can be hooked into any existing event-based framework like wxHaskell or Gtk2Hs. A plethora of example code helps with getting to know the library.
- Programmers interested in implementing FRP will have a reference for a simple semantics with a working implementation.
- It features an efficient implementation. No more spooky time leaks, predicting space & time usage should be straightforward.
Feedback is welcome, I want to hear from you!

What do you do when you have an unknown brand, a tiny marketing budget and products to launch? You do your utmost to nick the best bits of the market leader and then undercut them. The Noontec Zoro is clearly inspired by the Beats by Dr. Dre Monster Beats Solo HD, but sells for less than half the price. And yet, they arguably sound better.
There are several Beats series rip-offs about, including the surprisingly good Fanny Wang On-ear Wang. Noontec is a new runner in this race, but it is no headphone expert. All its other products are set top box media players, portable hard drives and iPhone accessories.
Skipping the first couple of stages in the design process, the Zoro on-ear headphones borrow most core design elements from the Beats Solo HD. The positioning and style of the pads, the mix of matt and glossy finishes, the folding mechanism, the removable cable and the headband width are all nicked from the Dr. Dre-branded headphone.
The execution of the blueprint is not quite as successful as the real deal, though. There's not as much tension in the headband, giving a less secure fit, and most of the materials used are low-rent versions. Most metal has been replaced with plastic, the squidgy rubber of the Solo HD's headband padding has become foam-padded leatherette and the pads are a little less soft.
Although less high-end than the well-made, very comfortable Beats Solo HD, the Noontec Zoro aren't bad. The hinge is still metal under a thin layer of plastic, the fake-leather-lined pads are reasonably comfortable and if they weren't so clearly a copy of another more popular pair, they wouldn't look too bad.
Functionally, there are two main ways the hardware misses the mark, where the Beats Solo models succeed - noise isolation and stability. The Solo headphones have excellent noise isolation for an on-ears pair, but here it's poor. The looser, lax fit doesn't make a very good seal and there are hidden sound ports on the back that negate the usefulness of whatever seal that is made.
Also, without a rubbery surface to the headband, they waggle about quite easily on your head. As the Zoro headphones are lightweight at 145g, this only becomes a problem if you intend to perform vigorous exercise with them on. It's also worth noting that the Beats Solo HD lead the pack here - few headphone makers have cottoned-onto using high-friction headbands to increase stability.
What do the Noontec Zoro get right? There's enough horizontal and vertical tilt to the earcups to make fitting easy, the fake-leather pad surface is a solid impersonation, and as long as you set the ratcheted headband correctly, they're comfortable enough for long listening sessions. The Zoro headphones give you plenty of scope for ruining this, though, as a mis-adjusted headband sets the pressure distribution off.
The Noontec Zoro headphones are a faulty impersonation of the Beats Solo HD. But we can't be too harsh on them for these failings. The Beats cost upwards of £150, and the materials used in their construction reflect this. Next to £40-50 on-ear headphones like the RHA SA-850, Sennheiser HD 228 and Sony MDRXB300, the Zoro come across fairly well. However, if you're thinking you're getting everything the Beats offer for a fraction of the cash, that's not quite true.

Green Bay Garners Multiple Awards at Horizon League Banquet
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
INDIANAPOLIS GreenBayPhoenix.com) – It was a successful evening for the Horizon League regular season champion Green Bay men's tennis team at the Riverwalk Banquet Center in Indianapolis, as four Phoenix individuals collected honors at the 2013 Horizon League Tennis Awards banquet on Friday. Sophomore Michael Tenzer (Neuried, Germany) headlined the event, being named Horizon League Player of the Year, while Phoenix head coach Mark Thomas earned Coach of the Year honors.
Seniors Erik Finkenbrink (Duelmen, Germany) and Craig Cox (Surrey, England) were also recognized, as Finkenbrink was named to the all-league first team and Cox was selected to the second team. In addition, Cox won the Herb Foster Sportsmanship Award, given out for outstanding conduct on and off the court.
Heading into Saturday's Horizon League Championships, where Green Bay will look to defend its tournament title from a year ago, Tenzer owns a perfect 6-0 singles record against league competition. Also a first-team all-league selection as a freshman in 2012, Tenzer sports a 15-3 overall singles record during his sophomore season. Teaming with Joey Leto (Downers Grove, Ill.), Tenzer has also been effective in doubles play with a 10-3 record.
The second Phoenix player to win Player of the Year honors and first since Tim Prudlow in 2006, Tenzer has a 33-10 singles record in his two standout seasons.
In his fifth season at the helm of the Phoenix program, Thomas takes home Coach of the Years honors for the second time (2011). Thomas guided Green Bay to its first regular season conference title with an unblemished 6-0 record. The team's 16 wins are tied for the second-most in program history.
Green Bay places two players on the first team for the second year in a row as Finkenbrink garnered all-league accolades for the third time in as many seasons with the program. The senior was a second-team selection in 2011 and 2012 and has a career record of 55-36 in singles and 67-30 in doubles. The 67 doubles wins are the most in school history.
This season as a senior, Finkenbrink is 9-8 in singles action and 12-7 in doubles play teaming with Cox at No. 1 doubles. The southpaw is 4-1 against Horizon League competition at No. 2 singles.
Cox, who also was named to the All-Horizon League Second Team as a sophomore in 2011, has been one of Green Bay's most consistent and solid players this season. In singles, Cox's 18-4 record includes a 2-0 mark at No. 1 singles, a 3-0 mark at No. 2 singles and a 13-4 record at No. 3 singles. In conference action, Cox has won five of his six singles matches. He is 12-7 at No. 1 doubles this season alongside Finkenbrink, and for his career he has a doubles record of 61-33.
Cox was awarded the Herb Foster Sportsmanship Award, which is named after the longtime Wright State coach who exemplified the values of the league and encouraged student-athletes to compete with sportsmanship.
The top-seeded Phoenix will begin its quest to defend its tournament title Saturday morning against No. 4 Wright State at 9 a.m. CT at North Central High School.

I've just finished sculpting the Iron Man mask from the new movie and I'm wondering what the best way to cast it would be?
I've spent so much time sculpting, I don't want the mold to be lost if I make a mistake - leaving me with one bad pull and plenty of frustration.
I'd love to vacuum form because it'll enable me to make numerous copies fairly inexpensively, but as you'll notice from the photos (link below) there's a few vertical surfaces (as the gold piece meets the red at the forehead). I'm affraid the detail will be lost because of how the polystyrene will drape.
http://www.worstpreviews.com/images/Iron Man.gif
I've considered resin-casting, but I need a hollow cast, and I'm not sure rotational casting is worth it.
*Note: FYI I'm constructing the mask in two parts, the front and top half and the rear piece ending around the ear area.

In an interview with the German newspaper, Der Spiegel, former Russian leader, Mikhail Gorbachev expressed concern regarding the state of freedom of the press in his country. He was particularly dismayed at the murder of four journalists who worked for Novaya Gazeta, a publication that frequently has been critical of the policies of Prime Minister Vladmir Putin. Gorbachev gave the newspaper money to purchase computers, "some of them were stolen and destroyed in an attempt to get rid of the sensitive information on the hard drives." Gorbachev expressed hope the investigations into the murder of reporters, but was pleased President Medvedev recently granted an interview to the newspaper.
Gorbachev believes the interview reflects a desire on the part of President Medvedev to restore a semblance of freedom of the press and to warn those who attack reporters. Gorbachev expressed his belief that freedom of the press will continue its progress and Russia is "moving in the right direction" on this issue.

Hi there, wrote a comment in the bhg about your issues.
take some pictures like you were going to submit them for legion approval (full front, full back, both sides with your arms up and down), and i'm sure we could give you much better feedback.
Rapier2278, Do you have the bhg comment link?
As you can see, i asked for more pics too.
Non members can't view without signing up.
Hey Brian, the thing that stands out is that everything is just HANGING of you, pulling you flightsuit & vest down. Maybe bring the flightsuit in to seamstress, get it taken in for a better fit & have some button holes sewn in for elastic straps. Use the straps on the knees & shins. Not sure how Seekers jp harness works, but mine is like a bulletproof vest & I make sure it is snug fitting. Then I hike up the jp so the top of it sits level with the top of the back plate.
Take a look at some of the great builds here & adopt the stuff that works great for yourself.
Hey jeje recently I register my account in BHG, jeje is great I am a scum in his foro jajjaj, I have a great jango fett costume and I am member of TDH since 4 years ago and now I am a scum jejejjejej my god.................
Didn't know that you have to register, sorry.
Here's the original post from thebhg:
Please apologize my bad English, gonna try to explain the things as far, as i'm able to. In a first short look, i think, the flakvest is much too large and the backplate is too long. It should end up above the girthbelt. The backplate also seems to have the wrong shape at all.
More complete photos from front, back and both sides would be helpful. The codpiece must be placed higher.
The rear carrying strap of the holsters should be put backwards on both sides, so the holsters fit straight on the thighs. Maybe you should use rivets to connect holster and thigharmor. Shins must be placed higher.
Take a look at the last two pics in the first Post and the pic in post 13 here:
You can see, that the carrying strap goes backwards very far.
I don't claim, that this is the ultimate solution, but it worked out for me very well.
Hope, this helps.
Can't say anything about the red color on the JP

Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear delivered his sixth State of the Commonwealth address to a joint session of the Kentucky House and Senate live on KET last night. In his nearly 43-minute speech he talked about a new atmosphere of civility and respectful dialogue that's emerging, and expressed optimism that state lawmakers will reject "Washington-style politics from dictating (Kentucky's) agenda and setting the tone for our discourse." He cautioned against complacency in settling into a "just getting by" attitude and declaring that that's no longer a true measure of success. He urged lawmakers to not concentrate just on the immediate needs, but those in future years.
The session is already 20 percent over, as the Governor reminded the House and Senate members, with much work to do. He recalled the numerous budget reductions he made that amounted to more than a billion-and-a-half dollars in the last five years. Even though the state weathered the financial storm, he said the evidence of fiscal restraints hurt classroom instruction by eliminating textbook funding; slashing child care assistance subsidies for low-income families; and cutting agencies the help seniors. He said Kentucky couldn't afford to make the state's children collateral damage in wrestling with the herculean issues of pension and tax reform.
Along with the public pension system, Governor Beshear said there were other critical issues he hopes the General Assembly will tackle in the 24 remaining days of the session. He said he hopes state lawmakers embrace a statewide smoking ban prohibiting indoor smoking in public spaces, much like what three dozen other cities and counties have done. The Governor urged lawmakers to authorize agency bonding authority for public universities to build needed academic and athletic complexes and student housing facilities. And, he stressed the need to adjust the new law that toughens regulations of pain management clinics.

Gregory Clark, writing in the Japan Times, blasts American officials and the media for presenting Russian actions in Georgia as lacking any justification. For example, he ridicules Secretary of State Condi Rice's comparison between Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia
in 1968 with the response in Georgia. On August 8, 2008, the Georgian army of 7,500 troops moved into South Ossetia which was defended by about 2,500 ill equipped men who were supported by 558 Russian soldiers. Few in the western media pose the following question: what would have happened if Georgian troops successfully took over South Ossetia? Would thousands of people been forced to flee to North Ossetia? George Bush deliberately made agreements to construct missile bases in Poland. "But for the Western media none of this was relevant. For them, everything seems to have begun with the Russian intervention, portrayed as a crime of aggression and even ethnic cleansing(somehow the Georgian attack on the small Ossetian minority is not ethnic cleansing)."
As Clark notes, "George Bush condemns the Russian attack as a violation of Georgian sovereignty. Did sovereignty concerns ever bother the United States during its attacks on various nations?" After all, this is the same Western media which cheered the US invasion of Iraq. This is the same Western media which remained silent when the CIA assisted the overthrow and killing of President Allende in Chile? The American media completely supported the Kennedy administration when it supported an invasion of Cuba.
The Russian counter attack has contained brutal behavior, but to completely blame Russia is hypocrisy to the nth degree. Serbia was bombed when it attempted to suppress the independence of Kosovo. Perhaps, the Western media can explain why it believes Serbia has no right to suppress the breakaway province of Kosovo but is furious when South Ossetia desires independence.
"The media accept it when the US says it needs to stay on in Iraq to guarantee security. when the russians say they need to linger longer in Georgia for the same reasons, we get more Western talk about sovereignty violation and Czechoslovakia."
We on this blog deplore excessive Russian use of force in Georgia, but we also recognize Georgia initiated the violence and is bearing the consequences of its incredible stupidity. The bottom line is Georgia hoped for a quick victory while Prime Minister Putin was at the Olympics and intended to present Russia with a quick victory and the accomplished fact it controlled South Ossetia. It was a deliberate provocation that was supported by the United States.
John McCain says, "we are all Georgians." We may be Alabamans, but we are not Georgians.
