Right-wing mark debate over AZ immigration law with racially charged rhetoric
Research ››› ››› JUSTIN BERRIER
Numerous right-wing media figures have rushed to defend Arizona's controversial new immigration law, often by employing racially charged rhetoric, imagery, and stereotypes. Many have also embraced racial profiling while promoting the legislation.
Right-wing media defend AZ law with racially charged rhetoric
The Washington Times dubs immigration protestors "the Tequila Party," filled with "[a]ngry, hateful, violent, extremist liberals." In an April 28 editorial, titled, "Angry, hateful, violent, extremists, liberals," The Washington Times said of those participating in recent protests of Arizona's immigration law: "Imagine a group of angry demonstrators toting swastika-festooned protest signs calling politicians Nazis, shouting obscenities and racial remarks and throwing rocks and bottles at police officers sent to keep order. ...This group of liberal rowdies has been dubbed the Tequila Party."
Drudge highlights Bloomberg article with unrelated image of what appear to be Latino gang members. The Drudge Report linked to a Bloomberg article, which reported that the Mexican government issued a travel warning for its citizens visiting Arizona, and illustrated it with the following image, which does not appear in the article:
Beck uses bag of "pot" and bottle of prescription pills to illustrate the "difference between legal and illegal immigration." On the April 26 edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck, Beck said "let's define the discussion we're about to have" on immigration. Beck pointed out that "there is a difference between legal and illegal immigration" and as visual aides, used a bottle of prescription allergy medicine to represent legal immigration, and a bag of "pot" to represent illegal immigration.
Kilmeade: "Can you blame the people of Arizona for giving the cops this power? ... How many surgeons" do we "find in those tunnels by the border?" During an April 28 "fair and balanced" panel discussion on the law, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade asked leading questions and made many racially-charged remarks, including asking what is "wrong with" "giving police officers in Arizona the ability to go up to an individual -- if they have reasonable cause to think they're here in this country illegally?" He also referenced "the drugs that are coming across the border... the kidnapping that's happening there... the killing that happened to a rancher a month ago," and asked "Can you blame the people of Arizona for giving the cops this power?" After guest Richard Florida made the point that high-skilled immigrants "look at how we handle low-skilled people, they look at how we handle illegals," Kilmeade responded: "You know how many surgeons we find in those tunnels by the border?"
Buchanan: "Arizona acted because" the federal government failed to "protect the states from invasion" of "illegal aliens." In an April 26 WorldNetDaily column, Pat Buchanan wrote that "Arizona acted because the U.S. government has abdicated its constitutional duty to protect the states from invasion and refuses to enforce America's immigration laws." Buchanan warned that "[i]f Arizona does not get control of the border and stop the invasion, U.S. citizens will stop coming to Arizona and will begin to depart, as they are already fleeing California... What we are talking about here is the balkanization and breakup of a nation into ethnic enclaves."
Many others have embraced racial profiling
CNN's Cafferty dismisses concerns about AZ racial profiling: "Well, so what?" On the April 20 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, CNN contributor Jack Cafferty claimed "virtually nothing has been done to secure this nation's borders, because Democrats want the Mexican vote and Republican donors want the illegal aliens to work for them. President Obama insists that his administration is committed to securing the borders and has taken unprecedented steps over the past 14 months. What a load." Cafferty expressed support for the Arizona law, saying "critics say that will lead to racial profiling. Well so what?" Cafferty's "question of the hour" was "What should be done about border security if almost 20 percent of illegal immigrants entering Arizona from Mexico have criminal records." Despite receiving "several thousand" responses to his question, Cafferty only read emails containing racially charged rhetoric.
Crowder: "You're not looking for a blond-haired, blue-eyed Swede most of the time." During the April 23 edition of Fox News' Hannity, Fox News contributor Steven Crowder said that there's racial profiling in the law and "I don't think there's really anything wrong as far as racial profiling, stopping people who are coming in illegally. I mean, you're not looking for a blond- haired, blue-eyed Swede most of the time." Crowder claimed "it's a brilliant move for Obama politically because he's promised all these entitlements and he wants to make sure this huge voting block knows that they're going to get some gimmes as well."
Gutfeld: Racial profiling a no-brainer. On the April 21 edition of Fox News' Hannity, Red Eye host Greg Gutfeld said of the law: "A lot of the critics are saying this is racial profiling. Duh! They're coming from another country. That's what you do. You have to look at them and see who they are before you know they're legal or illegal. I don't think that's a fair criticism."
Gallagher dismisses racial profiling concerns. On the April 23 edition of his Salem Radio program, radio host and Fox News contributor Mike Gallagher told Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace, "Sign it, baby, sign it" and that the Arizona legislature is his "new hero." After Wallace noted concerns about civil liberties, Gallagher said that "it's racial profiling, to be sure, cops know if there's a van full of dark-skinned men with lawnmowers packed into the back of a pick-up truck...that's what they're talking about."
Hume defends profiling: "Some people are going to have to endure inconvenience as opposed to everybody." On the April 19 edition of The O'Reilly Factor, Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume appeared to dismiss concerns about racial profiling, stating: "If it's an effective law enforcement technique done in good faith, people may have to endure some inconvenience. What we're saying here is that some people are going to have endure inconvenience, as opposed to everybody having to endure it."

Annette, I appreciate the accolades, but I'm no expert, in fact I have a lot to learn about bees and removals. I do however, as you know do lots of removals and catch lots of swarms. Scott Derrick, Brendhan, Dallas, Michael Bush, Iddee, from Beesource, are all people I confide in and we talk about removals and catching swarms. I also have a few local people I confide in. It helps us sharpen our skills.My wife is from Long Beach, Long Island, New York. She lived on the beach for many yrs. She just loves it when we hit the beach, any beach....JP
Annette, OK, who is the Cuban? Did I miss something here?JP, holy smackadooderal!!! You are just up to no good, now aren't you? Taking off your veil. You got the guts of a gutsy dude!!! I love to hear your stories and I love to see your pictures. Grabbing that bunch of bees getting the queen in the middle, now don't that just make ya day? Thank you always so much for sharing your stuff.....beautiful and most wonderful day, Cindi
JP, you know, dreams really are the wierdest things, and just a simple thought during the day can trigger the mind to go beserk in the night. That is what happened to you, did you make it through the night OK? Hee, hee. No clue what may have triggered a thought about you po'ed my Husband, maybe he found out that you had Whoppo and Abigail and was gonna do them in with my green snips. By the way, Frantz said that you had sent them up to him in a package, but somewhere in the transfer they had become pink. I don't think that he wants them, by the way, so it is up to you to get them back. Hee, hee. In all seriousness, my Husband loves scallops and the thought of him throwing some high quality scallops onto the ground horrifies me, but I will tell him you and your Wife enjoyed them, he will wince. Have the most beautiful and wonderful day, Cindi

Tomorrow (11/26/12) marks the start of the PA rifle deer season. I had my rifle sighted in and ready to go a while back, so I decided to go the range today with some handguns. I knew the handgun ranges would be all but empty at both the club I belong too and the public range. I was right.
First gun: Taurus M85 ultra-lite. 50 rounds at 7yrds. No complaints. Nice groups Piece Outlaw .38 special 158g swc
I just bought this gun used from a buddy. I like it so far. Need to put a bunch more rounds through it though.
Second Gun: Springfield XD Tactical 9mm (5" barrell). 150 rounds at various distances between 7 and 25yrds. Grouping nice as usuall ( I have now put 750rounds through) Ran into an issue first time ever with this today. Shooting 115gr Blazer Brass FMJ. Im not sure if the problem is the ammo or the firearm or something I did. On the last two magazines the slide did not lock back after last round fired. It completely racked as if another round was in chamber and ready to go. Never had this happen before on any gun I have ever shot so Im not sure what caused it at this moment. Not even sure if I would lable it a malfunction yet.
Third Gun: EAA Witness full size .45 (4.5" barrell). 100 rounds at 7yrds. No complaints. Good grouping. Winchester 230gr. FMJ White box. I have 300 rounds through this now and enjoy it. It has a nice trigger from the factory, felt recoil on this is very manageable and getting back on target is relatively very quick for me. I am considering to use it in a match this spring if I can get some more time with it and get some more magazines.
Thats all for today: Next sunday is trap shoot so Ill be visiting that other sight for a report. Until next time: Shoot Often and Shoot SAFE

Where is KTRK's Wayne Dolcefino and 13 Undercover?
Wayne Dolcefino and KTRK 13 divorce
Every TV sweeps period since I can remember, KTRK 13 Undercover's Wayne Dolcefino has been on the air with a big investigation. Not only that, the investigative reporter would have endless promotion the rest of the time when the news wasn't on the air.
This sweeps...crickets. No Wayne, no 13 Undercover. We're now almost a week in from what I understand.
Then I get emails from people in the TV biz asking me about rumors concerning his whereabouts. All I can tell you is that Dolcefino's bio is still on the station's website.
According to that bio, Dolcefino has been a staple at the ABC owned station since 1985. As I've blogged here over the years, Dolcefino has won a ton of awards such as 25 Emmys, three IRE medals, the 2012 Edward R. Murrow Best Investigation and a lot more. Before KTRK, Dolcefino was in radio at 740 KTRH and 590 KLBJ Austin.
Maybe Dolcefino will show up before sweeps ends and all the current questions will be forgotten.
Looking through my blog's archives for Dolcefino mentions, I found a comment that former Houston city council member and current 740 KTRH talk show host Michael Berry left about the 13 investigator in 2010.
"I sat on City Council for 6 years, and I'll tell you that elected officials quaked when [Wayne] walked in," Berry commented on my blog. "There was fear that he had targeted you, because once he did he would lay it all bare.
"I've seen how he goes about investigating, the extent to which he chases down sources, and I admire how he weaves it all together. His multiple day pieces are good for ratings, and they're just good tv."

The Canisius volleyball team lost in four sets at Marist College on Sunday afternoon. The Red Foxes won 18-25, 25-13, 26-24, 26-24 as the Golden Griffins drop to 10-17 overall and 8-8 in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.
Freshman Katlyn Tyler led the Griffs with 13 kills on 27 attack attempts, posting a .444 attack percentage. Senior Roxanne Hernandez added seven kills and four blocks. Junior Emily Litwin had 24 digs while senior Sydney Palka and sophomore Grace Streicher combined for 39 assists.
"This effort was the closest we have looked to our potential this year," Canisius coach Cathy Hummel said. "Marist just stopped more runs and found a kill before we did at critical times in the match.
"I'm extremely proud of our effort and fight at this time of year."
Canisius controlled the opening set, scoring seven straight points in a spurt that include three kills from Tyler to go up 11-5. Marist would only get as close as 18-15 before Canisius scored the next two points en route to closing out the set on two service aces from Tyler.
Marist bounced back and ran away with the second set, scoring 11 of the final 12 points to even the match. In the third set, Canisius built as big as a six-point lead at 15-9 and led 18-14 before Marist made a 6-1 run to take a 20-19 lead. Canisius faced two set points down 24-22, but used a kill from freshman Jacklyn Malusa and a Marist attack error to tie the score at 24-24. Marist would take the next two points to win the set and go up 2-1 in the match.
The Red Foxes appeared to be pulling away with the fourth set, building an 18-13 lead. Canisius closed the deficit to 19-18 before Marist re-established a five-point lead at 24-19. The Griffs would fight off all five match points, including a kill from Malusa, service ace from Streicher and block from Hernandez and junior Olivia Chrzanowski, to make it 24-24. Marist would put the match away on its sixth attempt and take the match in four sets.
Mackenzie Stephens and Courtney Shaw each had 16 kills and four blocks for Marist. Kelsey Lahey led all players with 21 kills while Audra Brady had 50 assists.
Canisius wraps up its home schedule next weekend with two matches in the Koessler Athletic Center. The Golden Griffins host Quinnipiac on Saturday, with match time set for 1 p.m. on President's Day in the KAC.
Notes: Marist sweeps the season series from the Griffs for the first time since 2009… Tyler posted double-digit kills for the fourth time this season… Hernandez now has 96 block assists on the season, moving into fourth on the single-season block assists list. The senior also ranks sixth with 232 career block assists…. Litwin now has 491 digs and ranks seventh on the single-season list.

In his CM: the Next Generation series, Joe Farah gives us a glimpse into the trends that CM experts will need to tackle and master based upon industry trends and future technology challenges.
The introduction of SCM into a project involves:
- Identifying a CM/ALM process to be followed
- Acquisition of tools to support CM/ALM
- Customization of the tools to support the process
- Training of personnel on the CM/ALM tools and process
- Training CM managers and administrators to support the process
- Sufficient quality management to ensure the process is being followed and is beneficial
Are these steps different today than they used to be? Not really. The steps are the same, but the cost and effort should be dramatically lower. If not, as a small or medium sized business, you need to look around more.
Identifying a CM/ALM Process
I remember back in the 1970s and 1980s spending a substantial amount of time
trying to derive the best CM processes. Back then, SCCS was the predominant model and that was nothing more than a version control tool with some branching capabilities. Combine that with Make files and we had a CM system, or so some thought. Fortunately I worked for larger telecom companies back then and had time to figure out that change packages were a necessity, that release stream-based development was the natural way for a telecom project to progress, and that version control (i.e., delta compression to a single file) was only a minor part, at best, of CM. One of the most successful proprietary CM tools of it's day, Mitel's Software Management System, was up and running for years before delta compression was even considered. When it was introduced, there was no change to the user interface, and no additional training, only disk space savings, significant though that was at the time.
We spent a lot of time understanding what was necessary and what was not. We introduced problem tracking, project/activity management, document management and tied them all together in with the rest of the CM system. After carefully considering how change packaging had to work and how baseline management could be automated from changes, we gradually built up our CM tools. They were completed to the level of true 2nd generation tools at a cost of well under a $1 million. And since they were in-house tools, we had the flexibility to change them to work the way we wanted.
Unfortunately, we were not primarily in the CM business. Though the benefits easily justified the costs, the tools eventually reached a level where the business case for continued changes was less and less clear. After all, the tool did what we wanted for the most part. So how could we justify a team for second and third level feature requests?
The good thing was that we were able to build a tool that matched the process elements that we had decided were crucial. From automating baselines, doing change-based configuration management, and ensuring proper traceability between changes and features/problems, to ensuring we had adequate reports showing us project progress, product quality (in terms of both problems found and test case results), we had a process that helped us to continually improve and tools that could be modified to support such improvements.
We didn't have starting points such as Sigma 6, CMM/CMMI, ISO 9001, or later frameworks. Instead, we had experience from previous projects and from earlier iterations on our current projects. We knew our processes and tools would have to survive decades of use and would have to scale up.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of Windows XP Annoyances for Geeks, Second Edition is a Surinam toad (also known as Pipa Pipa). Surinam toads are entirely aquatic, never venturing onto land from the dark, muddy South American rivers where they dwell. Adapted to life in a constantly murky environment, the eyes of the Surinam toad are little more than small dark spots on its evenly brown body. Adult toads are about six inches long with a broad, flat, almost rectangular appearance. They have large, heavily webbed hind feet and small sensory feelers on their front feet and around their mouths. They use these feelers to aid in the search for food along the muddy river bottom. Once a morsel is located, the toad uses its front feet to stir up the water and swish the food into its gaping, tongueless mouth. It will consume anything it can swallow, dead or alive.Surinam toads are remarkable even among the several other similar species of aquatic frogs. Rather than depositing her eggs in a secluded location and leaving their fate to chance, the female toad relies on the male to direct the fertilized eggs onto the softened skin of her back. Over the course of several hours the skin swells and completely envelops the eggs. Here the young remain for several months until metamorphosis is complete, emerging as tiny, fully developed toads.

Comments about oreilly Windows XP Annoyances for Geeks, 2nd Edition:
As a Microsoft Certified consultant, it is my business to know and provide solutions to businesses. Of the 150+ technical manuals in my library, this is one of my favorites. Void of nonsense, it is packed with gems, solutions and workarounds -- or will point to the source for a solution. I have the 2nd Edition and will buy the 3rd Edition, if published.

By Chris Toronyi
In life we have such high expectations. We want it all, but sadly that's never the case. We plan our best, we try our best, but sometimes that's good enough. You know, we find a way to make it work, maybe not how we planned.
I'm starting to think Arsenal seasons are slowly becoming a general map of life: A life of high expectations, many successes and triumphs -- and of course disappointments. But isn't that what makes sport so great? Life so great? Experiencing emotions both up and down proves we're human. We're alive. We make mistakes, but most of all we rebound and continue a course.
Sometimes the course isn't as we had planned given what life -- the season -- has offered. But I gotta tell ya, for me it's the response. Keep the chin up. It allows one to not only look forward, but it gives you a chance to look around and evaluate what is the best path. Like life, the season evolves, new elements are introduced, along with new barriers, but also new skills are developed to deliver.
I know we all want the best for the Club, we all have different opinions of how to move it forward. It's during the "how we move forward" phase that we must keep our chin up. Be positive. Be supportive of the Club when they take the pitch. Positivity offers one way to look and see everything in a more clear way. Yes emotion is involved, but isn't emotion involved in life? In sport?
Look, it's easy to drop your head when things are down. Easy to criticize. Easy to be negative. But you'll miss the fun. The adventure. Isn't that what makes life and the season what it is?
An adventure. An adventure of unknowns.

Age: 29
Are you a member of any club or student group?: Yes, I am a
member of the track team. On May 10, 2013 I won gold in the 10,000 and 5,000
meter women's races at the National Junior College Athletic Association Division
III Championship Tournament.
Favorite Class at Union: Physics I
Most people shudder at the mere word, what makes Physics approachable
and a favorite for you?: I enjoyed taking Physics because it explained why so
much of what I observe everyday happens.
Why did you choose Union?: Its location was most convenient for me.
What is your fondest memory so far at Union?: My fondest memories
at Union County College are of my trips to track meets with my teammates. I enjoyed
cheering for them as they pushed through their races and getting to know them during
our drives to and from our meets. I also loved racing against really tough competition.
Doing so led me to run personal bests in the 5000 meter and 1500 meter races this
Interesting fact about yourself: I worked as a journalist for eight
What's an interesting story that you reported on?: As a
journalist, I wrote just about every topic under the sun. Working as a
newspaper journalist for the first few years of my career and as a business
journalist for the last four and a half years. I wrote on environmental
clean-ups, land development projects, executive compensation, corporations'
initiatives to become more environmentally and socially responsible, local and
state elections, murders, plane crashes, lifeguard competition, and new
education programs offered in New Jersey schools. I also wrote quite a few
human-interest pieces, including a profile on a barber who cut hair in the same
community for 60 years.
What is the biggest adjustment you had to make coming to
college?: I am not sure how relevant this question is for me, because prior to enrolling
in Union County College I graduated from another college with a Bachelor of Arts
degree. The biggest adjustment I had to make upon beginning studying at Union County
College was that I had to get in a car and drive five days a week. For several years
prior to becoming a student a Union County College, I commuted to work via public
transportation five days a week.
Career or further education goals: I want to be accepted into a Doctor
of Physical Therapy program and practice as a Physical Therapist. Ultimately, I
may try to start my own practice or establish a wellness center that offers Physical
Therapy with some of my friends.
Is there anything else we ought to know about you?: Enrolling in
Union County College in the Winter of 2013 was one of the first significant steps
I took in my ongoing attempt to change careers. I worked as a Physical Therapist's
aide during the past semester.

My first day at the U.S. Department of Education was fantastic! Although I have visited Washington, D.C. in the past, nothing compared to the feeling of being amongst the numerous government employees bustling off to various agencies and having the sense of being one of them. When I first arrived at the Department of Education building, I was really nervous, not knowing fully what to expect. My nerves were soon calmed, however, as I was warmly greeted in the main lobby by a very nice and welcoming Secretary Assistant named Jackie. After giving me a mini tour of the main office area, Jackie introduced me to Mr. Massie Ritsch '98, the Deputy Assistant Secretary for External Affairs and Outreach and my Princeternship alumni host. For the first part of the day, Mr. Ritsch gave me an overview of his department, the Office of Communications and Outreach (OCO), describing it as the key line of communication between the Department of Education and the public sphere. To ensure mutual communication between the Department and the public, Mr. Ritsch and his OCO team sponsor/coordinate various conferences and Department outreach events throughout the year for community members, education associations, parents, students, etc.
I was excited to learn that I would have the opportunity to help out with one of such outreach events. Mr. Ritsch introduced me to Ms. Jasper, one of the OCO staff members charged with Family Engagement/Parent Outreach initiatives. In order to help with the Department's upcoming outreach event to promote the active role of father participation in a child's educational development, I entered the names and email addresses of potential participants and cosponsors into a spreadsheet. In addition, Ms. Jasper also asked me to research various studies that highlighted the benefits of having active parents, particularly fathers, involved in the education process of their children. I really enjoyed doing this research because it allowed me to use the skills I've learned here at Princeton while also giving me an opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way to some of the Department of Education's upcoming events.
Day 2
Day two at the Department of Education proved to be just as great as the first. My day began by accompanying Mr. Ritsch to his first two meetings of the day. At the first meeting, I was able to listen in as several OCO members discussed the Department's upcoming College Affordability Listening Tour scheduled to stop at various college and high school campuses throughout the country. Given the significance of college affordability in my own experience, I really appreciated being able to sit in on this meeting and learn how the Department of Education works to keep the public informed about the recent developments and opportunities for federal funding when it comes to higher education. The second meeting I attended with Mr. Ritsch was the Outreach Team Meeting during which I got a brief overview of all the different events and projects that were currently underway at the Department. I really enjoyed being able to sit in on this meeting because it gave me an opportunity to really see just how multi-faceted the operations of the Department of Education truly are.
In addition to these larger group meetings, I also met one-on-one with several other individuals who worked in different areas of the Department of Education. I spoke with Dr. Grimstead, Manager of the Presidential Scholars Program, a program that awards and celebrates a limited number of extremely exceptional high school students each year. During my discussion with her, Dr. Grimstead told me about her own personal journey of coming to work at the Department of Education and provided me with some really good advice on how a graduate degree can be utilized within various areas of the Department. As I am beginning to plot my own future plans, talking with Dr. Grimstead provided me with a greater perspective on the benefits and drawbacks of going straight to graduate school after graduation versus gaining actual working experience in the field of education first through internships and fellowships (many of which can be provided by the Department of Education, as was Dr. Grimstead's experience).
Day 3
The third and final day of my Princeternship at the Department of Education was really jam-packed. I started my day by finishing up the spreadsheet of names and emails of potential participants and cosponsors for the Department's upcoming outreach event to promote the active role of father participation in childhood education for Ms. Jasper. Afterwards, I presented her with the bit of research that I was able to find on the subject. Next, I attended a one-on-one meeting with Ms. Chong, the Coordinator of Middle Eastern and North African Affairs in the International Affairs office of the Department of Education. As I talked with Ms. Chong, I was fascinated by how her experiences living and working abroad in Morocco led her to her current position at the Department. She also told me about a recent summit she helped to coordinate in which the Department hosted representatives from twenty different countries who came together to discuss/compare their various education systems, from teacher preparation to curriculum plans. I learned so much from my discussion with Ms. Chong, particularly about how the Department of Education has so many opportunities for those individuals who are interested in comparative educational policies across cultures and countries.
After my meeting with Ms. Chong, I then met with Ms. Watkins-Foote, the Director of African American Communications and Outreach. She and I had a really great talk as she told me about the different positions she had held within the Department prior to arriving at the OCO. She let me know of all the flexibility there is within the Department of Education as well as connecting me with some great contact people that could help me with my own academic/career interests regarding educational stratification amongst African American students. Next on my agenda was a phone conference call with Mr. Michel, the Senior Advisor for Economic Growth and Trade for US Agency for International Development (USAID). Given my summer study abroad to Tanzania this past year, Mr. Michel and I were able to compare our experiences in Tanzania with one another. He also informed me about some of the ongoing missions happening within Eastern Africa and gave me some great information about potential internships in Tanzania and Kenya with USAID for this upcoming summer.
All in all, I was very pleased with my Princeternship experience at the U.S. Department of Education. Everyone at the Department made me feel very welcome and was more than willing to sit down and talk with me and answer any questions I had. Anyone who is interested in the plethora of opportunities that can come from working for the federal government should definitely consider this Princeternship.

After Arsenal's 3-0 win at Wolves on Wednesday, we asked fans to share their thoughts on the game via Twitter.
Many of you got in touch and below is a selection of those comments.
If you don't already follow us on Twitter and want to have your say, you can find us here: @Arsenal
@MfyamMmoja RVP's penalty was the coolest I've ever seen and Benayoun's goal underlined how important Song has been for us!
@K_Swiss147 Keeping a clean sheet was just as important as the three points we need to ensure a top-three finish
@Musa_Van_Mymaje We have done it again! Three goals, three points and five points clear ahead of Spurs. Well done Gunners. Fantastic job and incredible goals
@Kimmy_Arsenal Professional performance from Arsenal. Well done boys!
@DExpapi Let's just say Szczesny is the goalie version of Messi. Just unbelievable!
@Miqdad_th12 Wonderful victory, another clean sheet and superb goal from Van Persie. Very happy for Benayoun, he deserves the goal. Well done.
@olliejmayes Great result, not an easy place to go to
@BigSeun1 Maybe Wenger should think about making Benayoun's loan from Chelsea permanent
@ArsenalDudester Szczesny's kit next season should come with a cape
@Zenden Another fantastic performance by YossiCopyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Should I Exercise When I Have a Cold?
If you're dedicated to your fitness routine or hit the gym on a consistent basis, coming down with a cold may be enough to derail your workouts indefinitely. But do you really need to abandon the exercise ship at the first sign of some sniffling or sinus congestion? Before you throw in the towel, consider these tips when choosing to exercise with a cold.
Find out what kind of illness you have
First, it is important that you determine whether you have a cold or the flu. A cold is considered to present symptoms above the neck only. If you experience symptoms such as fever, extreme tiredness, muscle aches and/or swollen lymph glands, you more likely have the flu and your immune system will need all the energy it can get to do its job. If you're experiencing flu-like symptoms, it is recommended that you wait two to four weeks prior to performing any form of intense exercise. If you are not sure if you have the flu or a cold, consult your physician.
According to both ACE (American Council on Exercise) and ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine), it is fine to perform moderate intensity exercise while suffering from a cold. Studies are cited to indicate that moderate intense exercise temporarily boosts your immune system by 50 to 300 percent. And, when not already ill, exercise reduces your chances of catching a cold. Prevention is the best medicine after all.
Exercise with caution
If you decide to take on a moderate exercise routine while dealing with a cold, be sure you stop immediately if you experience coughing, wheezing or an increase in congestion. Although it does seem to be OK to take on moderate exercise when you have a cold, there is no apparent effect on the duration or severity of the common cold. Doing some light exercise may just make you feel better psychologically in knowing that you are taking steps to minimize the setbacks being down with a cold could have on your physical fitness.

text: As I'd mentioned a few times before, I've been trapping stray cats in my neighborhood to get them spayed and neutered. However, my landlady threatened to evict me earlier this week if I continued to do so. (I've only done 3 coming through my backyard, but there were still a few in the parking lot I had wanted to fix.) BUT, there's another way I/everyone can help! FixNation, the clinic where I was getting the cats fixed for free, is in the running to win $50,000 from Pepsi to continue their mission! http://www.refresheverything.com/fix700cats Please vote every day! You can even vote by texting 104553 to Pepsi (73774) FixNation is the ONLY place in Los Angeles where people can take in feral cats to get spayed or neutered for free. It's hard work for everybody (I'm certainly not a happy camper having to get up at 6am to get them there in time for their appointments ) but everybody's willing to put in the work for the kitties! They were super-duper helpful in making me feel like I could trap those wily cats, haha. I've never met people more sincerely concerned about their well-being.

At a time when public dollars are scarce, every voice is needed to send the message to legislators who will be shaping the state budget in the upcoming months. The lobby day will be from 11 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. at the Statehouse. MTA members are invited to a pre-lobby day gathering at MTA headquarters, 20 Ashburton Place, beginning at 10 a.m. Click here to register. Click here for a flier with the day's schedule. Please use the flier to spread the word about the March 8 lobby day to colleagues and supporters of Massachusetts public higher education.

Well before Ajax and Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation hit the scene, Macromedia offered the first method for building web pages with the responsiveness and functionality of desktop programs with its Flash-based "Rich Internet Applications". Now, new owner Adobe is taking Flash and its powerful capabilities beyond the Web and making it a full-fledged development environment.
Rather than focus on theory, the ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook concentrates on the practical application of ActionScript, with more than 300 solutions you can use to solve a wide range of common coding dilemmas. You'll find recipes that show you how to:
Each code recipe presents the Problem, Solution, and Discussion of how you can use it in other ways or personalize it for your own needs, and why it works. You can quickly locate the recipe that most closely matches your situation and get the solution without reading the whole book to understand the underlying code. Solutions progress from short recipes for small problems to more complex scripts for thornier riddles, and the discussions offer a deeper analysis for resolving similar issues in the future, along with possible design choices and ramifications. You'll even learn how to link modular ActionScript pieces together to create rock-solid solutions for Flex 2 and Flash applications.
When you're not sure how ActionScript 3.0 works or how to approach a specific programming dilemma, you can simply pick up the book, flip to the relevant recipe(s), and quickly find the solution you're looking for.

Should be on your shelf
By Paul Milbourne
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook:
This book is a must have for any Flash developer. Even if you are new to ActionScript, this book offers a quick off the-the-shelf reference for many of the common (and uncommon) tasks faced by the day-to-day developer. With names like Keith Peters and Joey Lott taking the author credit, you know you are getting an experienced, well-written book that is sure to deliver. The book offers complete coverage, from the basics to remoting and socket development. Like I said, it's a must have.

ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook
By darkan
Cookbook describes many subjects related to ActionScript. Book has very interesting form with chapters in not accidentally order. It starts with basics of programming, and then other topics which will give you the complex knowledge about ActionScript. Author is not getting into routine. In the table of contents you'll find specific tasks. Similar, when you trying to pass a practical exam. In one sentence the whole task. Which can have a different length and are divided in to a Problem, Solution, Discussion and See Also. The main advantage of this book is their form. Tasks can be very standard for example Using Mathematical Operators and less standard like Simulating Dice. Cookbook is not ordinary textbook to ActionScript 3.0 but it is a collection of typical and not typical solutions which can be found using this programming language. It would be useful to know the task's level of difficulty especially for beginner users. Sometimes we do not want to get knowledge about for example XML but only we try to solve the problem in a few minutes and this book exactly enables to do this.Cookbook presents wonderful balance between form and contents. The chapter Web Services and Flash Remoting is worth mentioning. This book can be recommended to people who have to solve specific tasks.

Great resource for everyone serious about learning Action Script3
By svm
As a student, I often need to explore elements of Action Script on my own. With the Cookbook, I can experiment on a model that I am able to manipulate. The Cookbook is written with an approach that makes it easy to drill down to a very specific element or issue. Ultimately, I find a solution and explanation that enables me to practice the concept several different ways. It has helped me from day one, and as my practical knowledge of Action Script 3 grows, it is easy to fine-tune my scripting skills with more complex, remarkably concise examples that I am able to utilize in real world situations as I learn.

Nothing bothers me more then when I pick up a book and it says something like "For a Flash solution, see additional notes at http://www.rightactionscript.com/ascb." yet there are no notes at that location. Why put it in the book at all? Annoying!

Dissapointed with the Downloads
By RG
So I am learning quite a lot from this book. My only complain is that the downloads ZIP file with the examples does not contain the helper custom classes that the authors keep bragging about. I downloaded the examples.zip from the O'Reilly web site and the Pen class is nowhere to be found, plus the script files are all TXT files with typos everywhere. Most functions have "(())" instead of "()" after the constructor and unless you open all files in the zip file and fix them, they are useless.Other than that, aside from the fact that the book description states that this is a book for Flash platform and Flex, most of the code is really assumed to be run on Flex Builder.Still I have managed to make most of it work on Flash CS3 Authoring tool, but not all. So beware if you are planning to use this book to solely work on Flash CS3 Professional.An updated zip file with corrected typos and all the helper custom classes would be greatly appreciated. Get to work authors! You are slacking off.
This is a Dream Book" for ActionScript 3 Programmers!"
By Ares Hovhannesyan
Have you ever dremt about the book.! No? You will find that such a book exists in the world. And it about AsctionScript 3 by Joey Lott, Darron Schball& Kaith Peters.Start to read , page by page you are going deeper and understand the core of ActionScriot3. And not only the theory of this flexible programming language but also the practice. The book is reach with example that will help you to see actions and catch them very easy. You only need to "addEventListeners" to your ideas and implement them in real programming This book is easily read, easily understood and shows the right way to master ActionScript. Its covers all parts of ActionScript3 programming from "A to Z" without missing any letters. This book is really a coockbook. A lot of easy example help you to combine them in one big project like is done in the "Chapter 15: Programming Sound". The same I can say about "Chapter 11"Programming Animation". This book will become your Best Everyday Friend!. It will help you to find the solution of each task that you have in ActionScript4 projects. This book isn't about XML but you will find out that "Chapter 20: XML." Covering all the fibers of new E4X : what it is, why and how to use in ActionScript4. it's written very transparent and clear. So this is a really DREAM Book for beginners and ActionScripts programmers. I would like to thank authors for their hard and excellent work and recommend the book to all the ones who want to became ActionScript programmer.

Versitile read
Depending on the user this book can be used in different ways. The first way is to find specific answers to certain situations that may arise from everyday programming. The tables of contents are broken down into discrete sections pertaining to one aspect of AS3. If you are looking for help on string formatting a quick glance in the TOC will be a great start. In each section it is further broken down into sub-sections each addressing a particular point or "problem" that needs to be resolved. These sections are broken down into "Problem", "Solution" and "Discussion". Most sections show a short problem and solution but the meat of the text resides in the discussion portion. With the combination of code and explanation really breaks down the problem to a level most developers can understand. Additional footnotes are used to tie concepts together from section to section or "recipe to recipe". The second way to read this book is cover to cover. Even though these topics are broken down in specific problems, learning from "quasi-real world issues" are always a great way to learn. To be honest I would have also preferred a table of contents with the actually problems mentioned in each section. I saw myself having to thumb through the whole book getting acquainted with what it had to offer. If there is that link established then when I do encounter that issue my mind will remember that I read something similar in this book. My overall impression was positive and will keep this book handy for future reference.
Designers need it to..
By cicerone
Are you a designer? You need this book. Now before you spam me, let me tell you I'm as addicted to onEnterFrame as anybody. I've been limping along, using the same loadMovie script I copied way back and in general avoiding scary words like OOP. Hell, If you asked me a year ago what Flex 2.0 was, I would've told it's an exercise machine endorsed by Chuck Norris!But let me tell you, the changes in AS3 are fundamental, deep and life-changing. I've been inching towards using attachMovie, separate functions, etc. But AS3 takes it a step further, forcing you to get organized and import only the classes you need. Furthermore, the whole way objects are displayed has changed. No more "_root". Not even "_x". Like I said, you need this book.Bottom line, AS3 will separate the men from the boys and this book will help you get on the bandwagon. The developers might grumble that this book spends too much time on the basics, but for those of us who need more practice than theory, this book is a good start.

As a designer, it will give you more visual power with things like the Loader class and the Timer class. And remember how weird it was that every MC had it's own depths? Poof! It's gone with the new display architecture. What's the display architecture? See, I told you you were in trouble!Bottom line, AS3 will separate the men from the boys and this book will help you get on the bandwagon.

The emergence of a hateful campaign to link President Obama with Nazism is among the most fascinating manifestations of an anger that runs through a segment of American society that refuses to accept either the idea of an African American as president or the reality that a majority of people do not trust the Republican party with its future. The Secret Service and local Massachusetts police are investigating a swastika that was carved into a golf green along with the name, "Obama." It is a minor incident in itself, but symptomatic of a pervading emotion that cuts through those who hate Obama, the Democratic party, liberals, gays, lesbians and other aspects of modern life. They continually shout about the need to "return America to what it once was." Of course, the America that once was in their view was run by white skinned people and the poor were ignored.
A reason for the emergence of these haters is the collapse of teaching American history in our schools because the entire curriculum these days is given over to studying for tests. Each year, fewer and fewer students have history courses that educate about the history of the United States in any meaningful manner. Teachers lack knowledge of the history of labor unions, the Populist Party, the Progressive movement or the candidacy of Socialists like Eugene Debs who captured a million votes in the 1912 presidential election. We have cut our youth off from the liberal history of this nation.

Re: Sailboat under $5000 for Puget Sound
The ferry is $25 one way if like my crewcab dually pickup that is justover 22'long, otherwise, yes about $13 one way for a car/vehicle under 22'. Or the van I drive is over 7'6", 3" over 22' so that is a triple whammy at upwards of $40 depending upon who is in the pay shack. Then driving my dumptruck with equipment trailer that is in the 50+ foot range, about $70 or so one way! I get all of 15-18 mpg in my ,pickup, van is 20-22, so 240 miles of driving is 10-15 gals, or $40-70 depending upon how much diesel is that day..........Wifes suv is $13-15 ferry fee depending upon summer vs winter fare cost. Going around tacome will net you more cost yet by about double vs taking a ferry. From winslow on bainbridge, it is 110 miles to lk union, vs 4 driving plus 9 miles on teh ferry. including the ferry fare. fuel netting you at 20 mpg will cost you more than the ferry fare etc, along with 2.5 hrs of driving vs maybe 1 overall on the ferry etc. Driving in general, does not pay to go around. Then east bound on the hwy 16 bridge, ie tecoma narrows, you have a $5 or so bridge fee, you donot pay west bound. Foot traffic onthe ferry is free east bound, pay west bound, including passengers in the car are extra west. kingston-edmonds might be the better run, but doing the bike part would be tougher than winslow if you wanted to do it that way.
Not worth the trip for some things, others yes. A road bike will get you somewhere easy. For that purpose, shilshoal would be a cake walk. take the old train trail ie burk-gilman from shilshoal, its all level to the fisheries store! 5'ish miles or so.
No right or wrong on how to get somewhere per say.......still not a simple lets just run into seattle from PT! Even from my house in edmonds,going to in-laws in PAngelas is simple, but still not simple! I'm 10 min from that terminal! Bremerton is easier to get to from a ferry than driving around.........When I did a bunch of workon bainbridge, I took the ferry at $25 twice daily, had to build it into the job cost, same with a vashion one, and one up in the SJ's......now that was a PITA, including barges to get tothe actual island as it did not have ferry service!
|Alex W
Re: Sailboat under $5000 for Puget Sound
The ferry is $13 each way for a normal car. It is $9 for a bike, and bikes only pay in one direction. Fuel costs depend on your car, but it is about 120 miles round trip of driving to get from PT back to a Seattle-bound ferry, so on my gas-guzzling Subaru car that is about $25 round trip in fuel costs.
PT to Shilshole is one reasonable length day of sailing. It's a pretty good loop to go one way through Admiralty Inlet, and another through Saratoga Passage and out through Deception Pass (that puts you closer to the San Juans then to PT). There are some nice islands to anchor out by or camp at near Deception Pass, check out Hope Island and Skagit Island.
You need to time the currents when coming down Admiralty Inlet. It's pretty gentle through Saratoga Passage. Do Saratoga Passage soon and you'll probably see gray whales.
Re: Sailboat under $5000 for Puget Sound
I have my entire v berth taken up with a road bike so I can get anywhere! Anywhere they let me bring it inside that is...
The ferry is 25-30$? I thought like five. I figured people took their car on it round trip to work everyday. I would drive to Tacoma then up.
Yeah, definitely not to save a few bucks. But once I leave PT I'm going north. I would like to see Seattle.
|Alex W
Re: Sailboat under $5000 for Puget Sound
Shilshole has (or had, call to double check) a shuttle to Ballard. From there you can take the 40 bus right to Fisheries Supply. Public transit in Seattle is pretty easy and inexpensive.
You can't anchor off of Gasworks park, it is illegal to anchor in Lake Union without a permit unless it is between noon and 8am on July 4th and 5th. There might be guest moorage at one of the marinas along there.
If coming into town for a visit I think I'd suggest Bell Harbor Marina (downtown) over Shilshole, there is a lot more to walk to (but you'd have to bus to marine supply stores). Shilshole has good access if you have a folding bike onboard, but not much to walk to.
Re: Sailboat under $5000 for Puget Sound
IF he is coming to seattle, true a mute point. BUT< to get to fisheries by boat, one will need a taxi or equal, WM shilshoal one can walk...but why come to seattle to go there, might as well use the PT store. I supposed as I am writing this, one can take the locks, anchor off of the park, then walk thru it to fisheries......still a lot of work when one can order locally in PT and have delivered a few days a week as part of that companies normal delivery van routes thruout the sound. Or the same with WM's PS supply van to places like longship in poulsbo etc.
If driving down here. that is a different story, but it still will take a day, a ben or two just for fuel and ferry cost etc...........
It is worth and fun to take trips to places like fisheries, harbor marin in everett etc. It is generally speaking, not worth a trip to save a few bucks per say. Thelocal marine supply be it a WM or individual store can be the cheaper way! better to spend bucks local sometimes. If the OP is out of work, talk to the mgr at the PT WM, get a part time jobthere, one gets 10-50% off retail as part of employee discount.....no need to travel!
|Alex W
Re: Sailboat under $5000 for Puget Sound
Completely true Marty. It sounded like he was heading here anyway for social purposes (perhaps by sailboat, which is kind of the point).
Re: Sailboat under $5000 for Puget Sound
You do not HAVE to come to seattle to find a marine store. You do not even have to leave PT! A catalog/website from either fisheries or wm, a trip to see Aaron at Longship marine in poulsbo, and you have what ever part item you need getting to poulsbo! Same with the WM in PT, you can order out of that catalong, and it can come to you weekly on the warehouse truck. as long as you get the order in two days before. You can find the date out by going in there and asking. Fisheries delivers to PT also, I know the gas dock owner can order from them, not sure who else in PT can either. You do not HAVE to come to seattle and spend upwards of $30-40 in fuel and another $25-30 in ferry fares!
Some stuff it is nice to hand feel, others you just need to order the best way to get it to you. So popping into the PT WM could get you the hands on feel....order from them per say....or spend for me any how, 5-6 gals of diesel one way, $25 one way due to truck length on the ferry.......WM's prices or a trip to Longship at worst in Pouslbo become pretty cheap to order and not get the BEST price.
Lenore who is the mgr at WM in PT will take good care of you. Do not remember the fuel docks persons name off the top of my head. Aaron at Longship will also take care of you. He has about 400 people that have stuff at his shop on consignment. He gets once to twice weekly deliveries from both fisheries and WM's wholesale side.
Second wave you can also look online to see some of what they have. then decide if it is worth having shipped fedex, or going and getting.
If you get to Everett, there is another store "harbor marine"?!?!?! on the north end of the marina that is pretty large, and Popeye's has a mixture of new and used stuff also. Anacortes also has a mixture of marine places.
|Alex W
Re: Sailboat under $5000 for Puget Sound
No, the best sailing store in this area is Fisheries Supply.
Second Wave and the store in Pouslbo have used stuff and are worth checking out. There is also a used store in Port Townsend (near Boathaven), but it's not very good.
I find little reason to go to West Marine, Fisheries has a much better selection and better prices. Open a new account and you get preferential pricing that will probably last you through the summer. Almost all local club members also get discounted pricing. The discounted prices are cheaper than almost anything you can find online (with the exception of electronics, their electronics prices are steep for some reason).
Re: Sailboat under $5000 for Puget Sound
Sounds good. I'd like to I to second wave just to take a look.
So the best sailing stores are west marines, second wave in Seattle, and a place in Poulsbo. Any others in Seattle?
|Alex W
Re: Sailboat under $5000 for Puget Sound
You can check the Second Wave stock at secondwave.cc. They do negotiate if pricing seems high and they have a lot of stock, I recently got a Fortress FX-18 (which I'm using as my secondary anchor) price knocked down $25 just by asking.
There is also a used boat supply place in Poulsbo, another good place to try anchoring and a nice little town. It's much smaller than Second Wave, but still pretty nice.
You are correct that there isn't much along the Whidbey side. Sail down it and you'll see why. It is mostly cliffs right into the water.

Hello all!
I'm Anthony, TS-4344 from Cloud City Garrison. As you can see I joined last year and well life and other things got in the way of ever getting down to doing anything here. I am currently working on an ROTJ Fett that I got a lot of parts from someone in my garrison last year. Been doing a lot of lurking trying to figure out what else I need and it has been quite a lot of help. Turns out for whatever reason I have an ESB ammo belt as well as an ESB girth belt. The current flak vest that came with everything is way too big on me so I'm not even going to try to salvage that one.
As of right now I know I need: girth and ammo belts, new wookie braids, neck seal, new flak vest, and an EE-3. I'm looking at a Woodman girth belt and wookie braids, BBF ammo belt and neck seal, either an LFSU or crazy4bobafett vest, and I've been looking at the Sidewinder EE-3. Would love to get a Hyperfirm if I can find one.
I'm hoping I can get the rest of what I need done in time for CVI this summer as I really want to wear some armor but *not* my Snowtrooper!
