Five years ago, George Bush stood on the deck of an aircraft carrier to announce, "Mission Accomplished" in Iraq. Little did the American people realize the mission he said was accomplished was ensuring the people of Iraq had a right to hurl their shoes at the president and American soldiers. Thousands of Iraqis poured through the streets of Baghdad and other cities to show support for journalist Muntazar Zaidi who threw his shoes at the Bush during a press conference and shouted his hatred of Americans for the death and destruction they had visited upon his nation. The Iraqi journalist was under arrest for what authorities claimed was a "barbaric and Ignominious act" However, to thousands of Iraqis Muntazer has become a modern hero who expressed their real feeling toward the president that helped destroy their nation.
The journalist's brother shouted in glee: "Thanks be to God, Muntazer's act fills Iraqi hearts with pride." As Iraqis marched through streets they help up high their shoes to show support for someone who finally sent a message to George Bush that his days of lying were over. As Muntazer sent the shoes flying he shouted: "tis is a goodbye kiss, you dog." After Bush displayed his well known ability to dodge and twist when someone tells the truth about Iraq, the journalist added: "this is from the widows and orphans and those who were killed in Iraq."
We believe the shoes of Mr. al-Zaidi will one day be enshrined in any museum erected by the people of Iraq in remembrance of the Bush war. Perhaps, since the war was over WMD that did not exist, we can allow Mr. al-Zaidi to go free since he threw shoes that did not exist. He will undoubtedly be placed in the shoe hall of fame.

Posted by Thomas Husson on June 3, 2014
My colleague Ted Schadler explained here how Apple's iOS 8 focuses on developers building new mobile moments.
Once again, Apple increases the value of its ecosystem and will create more stickiness and loyalty by enabling developers and marketers to build new app experiences. The first building block to tap into the new opportunities that wearables and connected objects are opening up is to create a service ecosystem. That's the reason we haven't heard any product announcements yesterday.
From a marketing standpoint, Apple introduced some new App Store features for developers, like app previews and app bundles. Marketers will be able to let users buy multiple games or apps at once and for a discounted price. App listings can now include feature video demonstrations to showcase the value of your app. The new "Explore" tab - including the trending topics and the vertical scrolling - will also facilitate app discovery.
However, in comparison with the great iOS differentiated innovations announced to create new app experiences (e.g., HealthKit, HomeKit, Swift, TouchID, and open APIs), Apple mostly implemented incremental changes to its App Store marketing. Most marketers sill complain about Apple's black box and the lack of transparency about Apple App Store's ranking algorithm and ratings and review systems.

Benik Afobe is representing England Under-19s at this summer's European Championship in Estonia and you can follow the young striker's progress on Arsenal.com.
Benik Afobe
England 1-2 Greece (AET)
Thursday, July 12
Benik Afobe scored his second goal of the Under-19 European Championship - but it was not enough to prevent England from suffering a semi-final defeat to Greece after extra time.
The powerful striker was involved heavily throughout but could do little to prevent the Young Lions from crashing out in the final four against the 10-man Greeks.
It was Afobe who won England a penalty on the stroke of half time after being brought down by goalkeeper Stefanos Kapino - but Rob Hall saw his spot-kick saved by the substitute keeper.
By this point Noel Blake's youngsters were already a goal down after Mavroudis Bougaidis' header just seven minutes beforehand.
England did make their one-man advantage count after the break, however, as Afobe levelled from close range after good work from Hall.
But despite applying heavy pressure for the remainder of the second half, the Young Lions could not find a way through in normal time.
And they were made to pay in extra time as Charalambos Lykogiannis found the net with a lob over goalkeeper Samuel Johnstone.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Taking best practices from the manufacturing industry, this publication considers in detail how companies can balance internal supply and demand to assure that the right resources are in the right place at the right time. When they are, oil and gas businesses can reduce their costs by 20 percent or more by becoming more strategic in their sourcing and more efficient in their deployment of labor and equipment.
When operations and financial planning are firing on all pistons, oil and gas companies can then pursue their "efficient frontiers"—creating an investment portfolio with the best returns by using a systematic, bird's-eye-view of the information needed to decide which projects fit, which don't and why.
Finally, we look at how technology lubricates the process by providing a common, centralised view of information and forecasts.

Rain Rain go away
April 23rd, 20120
How was your weekend, did you have a relaxing one? Maybe you had a worthy one, if you were one of the very lovely people who ran the London Marathon for charity (well done by the way). Or were you out braving the elements and dodging the April showers? Our prediction for the week ahead is, less rain and more sun (in our heads anyway). We couldn't do any worse then the forecasters could we?
The start of a new week also brings a lot of excitement for us here at Bravissimo as we introduce lots of new summer bits to our collection, which is online now. There is gorgeous new lingerie, swimwear and some nightwear. But because we just know the sun will shine this week, our thoughts are drifting towards summer holidays and bikinis. If you are 'Staycationing' like Stephen Fry wants you to in the 'Visit Britain' campaign, or if you are still holidaying abroad this year, you will need a bikini that makes you feel confident, sexy and the ultimate beach goddess. Who can forget those infamous shots of Dame Helen Mirren on holiday in Italy, in that red bikini a few years ago? She chose the perfect two-piece for her figure and the result was stunning, she is also in her sixties, which proves theres a bikini out there for everyone. So read on and see which bikini style is made for you…
The new Elektra Bandeau Bikini Top by Masquerade Beachwear could be seen on one of our A-list celebrities on a far flung beach. Exotic is a word that sums this two piece up perfectly. It is available in stunning Ultra Violet and has beaded and ring details. It has lightly padded cups which offers great support and shape. The bandeau top can be worn without straps for tanning without lines. The matching swim briefs also feature the ring and bead detail.
The Cannes Halterneck Bikini Top by Free is perfect if you like a touch of glamour. This will look fabulous with a tan and with the embellishment of the beads on this bikini and briefs, you will be sure to sparkle on the beach. The top also has ruched cups that allow more or less coverage, depending on your preference. It is available in White Jewel and there are matching swim tie sides or swim briefs with wider sides.
The Limbo Bikini Top by Freya comes in Amazon tribal inspired print. It is a plunge style top that goes up to a size JJ cup, it has wooden bead detailing on the bikini top and swim shorts, there are also swim briefs available with this bikini. This bikini top will create amazing cleavage and shape because of the plunge style.
And if your still not convinced that you are a bikini babe, don't worry we will be covering tankinis and swimsuits in future blogs. For more fabulous swimwear check out Bravissimo.com

Mountain Law: The devil's legal career – a retrospective
October 16, 2012
With Halloween upcoming, it seems appropriate to review the career of a prominent lawyer whose cases sometimes involved the occult. I am, of course, talking about the devil.
Little is known about where the devil received his formal education, but there seems little doubt that he was an excellent law student. This can be seen by the fact that he managed to land, as his first legal job, the highly prestigious position of God's prosecutor. There he was responsible for such high-profile cases as the trial of Job. Of course, the devil did lose that case rather badly, which was not surprising given his inexperience and the fact that the defendant was completely innocent.
As so often happens, the devil eventually had a falling out with his employer and the parties became embroiled in a complicated legal dispute. Unfortunately, the court reporter, a man named John Milton, did not do a good job of describing the exact nature of the case. We do know that the end result was some kind of eviction. After losing the legal battle, the devil left his former position with God and set up a private practice in a separate jurisdiction known as hell. There he distinguished himself in the fields of contract negotiation and banking. He notched up a decisive early victory in a case against Don Juan Giovanni (who was not a particularly sympathetic defendant).
The devil did sometimes have difficulty enforcing his contracts in court. For example, one case involved a gentleman named Dr. Faust. There was no question that Dr. Faust and the devil had entered into a contract, and that its terms were clear, but, at least in a court report by Goethe, the judgment against Dr. Faust was reversed on appeal to higher authority. In a later case, the devil had a similar contract with a poor New Hampshire farmer who somehow managed to retain the services of Daniel Webster, the premiere lawyer of his day. Mr. Webster made short work of the case. Critics questioned whether the devil really got a fair trial.
The devil did have a fairly recent success in the (real) federal court case of United States ex rel. Mayo v. Satan and His Staff. In that case, plaintiff Gerald Mayo, representing himself, requested that the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania grant him leave to file a civil rights action against the fevil and his minions. Specifically, Mr. Mayo alleged that he had been deprived of his constitutional rights by virtue of the fact that "Satan [had] on numerous occasions caused plaintiff misery and unwarranted threats, against the will of plaintiff, that Satan [had] placed deliberate obstacles in his path and [had] caused plaintiff's downfall." After careful consideration, the court denied Mr. Mayo's request and questioned whether it would have jurisdiction to hear the case. The court also expressed concern that the case could turn into a class-action. (It was later suggested that Mr. Mayo had been unable to find counsel to represent him because asking a lawyer to sue the devil would constitute an obvious conflict of interest.)
Legal scholars have criticized the Mayo decision because it seems to say that the devil cannot be sued because he does not really exist. This argument, of course, ignores the fact that many lawsuits involve parties that do not really exist, such as corporations. The better question, for a plaintiff, is whether a judgment against the devil would be collectable. Is there any way to garnish the wages of sin? If so, the devil could find himself a target for further litigation.

In the summer of 2006, three gifted young adults walked into a house hoping to create music together-and Lady Antebellum walked out.The sound that Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood cooked up while hanging at the Nashville-area home of Charles' brother throughout the summer of 2006 is a unique blend that mingles classic country, 1960s R&B soulfulness and the heart-on-the-sleeve openness of 1970s singer-songwriters, all presented with a razor-sharp contemporary edge. It's a sound that had Lady Antebellum, as the threesome dubbed itself, generating deafening buzz as one of modern country's brightest hopes even before the release of their new self-titled debut album.
Already the trio earned "Top New Group" honors at the 2008 Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards. They've watched the group-penned first single from Lady Antebellum, "Love Don't Live Here Anymore," soar up the country radio charts, while its video has become a staple on CMT and GAC. They've performed on the legendary Grand Ole Opry, served as the opening act on Martina McBride's 2008 arena tour, and opened shows for Kenny Chesney, Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw, Alan Jackson, Taylor Swift, Josh Turner, Phil Vassar, Rodney Atkins and Little Big Town. Outlets like Billboard, Country Weekly, MSN Music and the Boston Globe included Lady Antebellum among their annual shortlists of artists to watch in 2008, and Nashville Lifestyles magazine flat-out called them "the next big thing."
GAC has devoted a special, Introducing... Lady Antebellum, to tracing their brief but eventful history.The range of emotion on Lady Antebellum encompasses both the joyfully romantic "Love's Lookin' Good On You" and the desolation of the swelling ballad "All We'd Ever Need" (the very first song the trio composed together). Between those extremes is the driving "Long Gone," a display of attitudinal assurance from Hillary; "Lookin' for a Good Time," an irresistible come-on from Charles; "Slow Down Sister," a churning rocker with touches of Southern rock and Stax groove; and the pulsing "I Run to You," in which the voices circle one another tantalizingly before melding seamlessly in the chorus. Fans drawn in by "Love Don't Live Here" are about to discover just how much more there is to Lady Antebellum- and given the trio's breathtaking rise to newly minted star status, it's a sure bet that there are plenty of listeners out there waiting to do just that.
"It still overwhelms me," Hillary admits. "I'm a true believer that what's meant to be will fall into place. When the ride starts, you've just got to jump on."With a one-of-a-kind vocal chemistry that evokes the tradition of classic country, an up-to-the-second modern sound, and a songwriting partnership that's both timely and timeless, Lady Antebellum offers a combination that's both shockingly fresh and as familiar as an old friend.

Brands deals with human needs and wants. Leo Burnett, the advertising executive, said: "The work of an advertising agency is warmly and immediately human. It deals with human needs, wants, dreams, and hopes." Smart brands know not to initially focus on what they have to sell but rather on how it meets consumers' needs. If you can address a strong consumer need, you will get those consumers to act. If you can get them to act, then you have opened an all-important channel of dialogue.
The fulfillment of consumer needs, however, is not always a linear hierarchic approach as proposed by Maslow and effectively debunked by Forrester analyst James McQuivey in his book Digital Disruption. Human needs take place simultaneously and are fuelled by a mix of short- and long-term motivations — some conscious and some unconscious. As a student, I would sometimes forgo food on a Friday so I could afford to go to a concert that night; or consider a Spanish couple postponing the short-term comfort of a much-needed upgrade to their central heating so they can put their child through the next year of college.
The pyramid diagram below shows how the foundation of this needs-based thinking is built from the ground up, from customer descriptions through to the technology and KPIs applied.

Suicide bombing at US Embassy in Turkey kills 2

ANKARA, Turkey — Turkey's prime minister says an outlawed Marxist group is responsible for a suicide bombing in front of the U.S. Embassy in Ankara, which killed the bomber and a Turkish security guard.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Turkey's HaberTurk television that Friday's attack is the work of the Revolutionary People's Liberation Party-Front, or DHKP-C. The group has been designated a terrorist organization by the United States and the European Union.
Erdogan said: "It is my principle to speak only after receiving the final result, but I can say clearly that it is DHKP-C."

Rochester Is Eliminated
Season Ends
'Milwaukee goalie Wade Flaherty was the difference again, just as he was in games three and four. This time the 38 year old Flaherty turned away just about everything the Amerks threw at him finishing with 44 saves. "I was able to see the majority of their shots, and the ones I did see I was able to control the rebound," Flaherty said.'
"Sabretooth's Summer Tour" Presented By Towne Mini Cooper
"We are excited that the Sabres and Towne Automotive Group can offer this once in a lifetime car to one lucky fan," said Buffalo Sabres Managing Partner, Larry Quinn.
The Sabres Take Care Of Some Restricted Free Agents
'The Sabres have made eight qualifying offers. The rest of the offers to restricted free agents don't have to be out until June 30th. These players participated in the World Championships and would not have been insured had they not been qualified. They are Daniel Briere, J.P. Dumont, Jeff Jillson, Mike Grier, Mika Noronen, Dmitri Kalinin, Maxim Afinogenov and Jochen Hecht.'
Ruff Reflects on 25 Years
"Patience. I feel really bad for all of those kids sitting up there, especially when you see all of them sitting there on the second day. I think a lot of their hopes were that they'd been drafted already. Patience is one thing I'd tell them."
Ruff Reflects on 25 Years
'"I didn't go to the draft. I was at a skating camp in Penticton, British Columbia. I really didn't feel I was going to get drafted. I had broken a leg the year before and only played in 24 games (with Lethbridge). I don't even remember who told me told me, if it was one of my parents or someone from the club, that I was drafted."'
Vanek waits for an offer
'Vanek, 20, conceded the Sabres can change his mind, and he appears to be in a strong negotiating position.'
Vanek waiting on Sabres to make him an offer
'Vanek told The Associated Press on Monday that the Sabres have contacted his family advisers, but the team has yet to speak to him and make an offer. "They've been talking a little bit, but I don't think it's anything major,'' said Vanek. "As of right now, I'm pretty set coming back to Minnesota unless the Sabres come to me and give me an offer. But that's not in my hands, and I can't worry about that.'''
Admirals leave Amerks in a 3-1 hole
'Ever the competitor, Miller predicted the Amerks could bounce back again, and he wants to be the one on the ice while the do it. "It leaves us in another interesting situation, but we have been full of that this year," Miller said. "There's no telling how it can go if we get on a roll."'

'"We're taking a hard look at what we've done in the past," said spokesperson Mike Gilbert, alluding to time spent with focus groups and on-going phone market research.'
Amerks hover on brink of elimination
'The Amerks certainly have reason to be confident. They have outplayed the Admirals in every game, yet trail 3-1. Rochester outshot Milwaukee 41-29 on Saturday but lost 2-1 in overtime. On Sunday, the Amerks had a 37-24 edge in shots, but lost again. And again because of Flaherty.'
Askey an option in goal for beleaguered Amerks
'"The biggest thing in the playoffs is if you don't bury your chances and you don't capitalize on the power play, you're not going to win," center Chris Taylor said. Said captain Domenic Pittis: "We feel we've taken the play to them but it's a case of obviously not bearing down on our chances."'

Alright, so to start this off I'll post the wikipedia description of crossfit. Posted below this is a video of the workout "Fran"
CrossFit is a strength and conditioning brand that combines weightlifting, sprinting, and gymnastics, powerlifting, kettlebell training, plyometrics, rowing, and medicine ball training. CrossFit contends that a healthy, fit person requires proficiency in each of ten general physical skills: cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength,flexibility, power, speed, agility, balance, coordination, and accuracy. It defines fitness as increased work capacity across all these domains and says its program achieves this by provoking neurologic and hormonal adaptations across all metabolic pathways.
CrossFit athletes run, row, jump rope, climb rope and carry odd objects. They frequently move large loads quickly over short distances, and use powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting techniques. CrossFit athletes also use dumbbells, gymnastics rings, pull-up bars, kettlebells, and many bodyweight exercises. CrossFit is used in nearly 2,000 gyms worldwide and by many fire departments, law enforcement agencies, and military organizations including the Canadian Forces, and the Royal Danish Life Guards.
Classes at affiliated gyms typically include a warm-up, a skill development segment, and a high-intensity workout that lasts around ten to twenty minutes. Affiliates create a new workout each day called the "Workout of the Day" or "WOD". Affiliates often use scoring and ranking systems to transform workouts into sport. Some affiliates offer additional classes which are not centered around a WOD, such as Olympic weightlifting classes. Free workouts and instructional videos are made available every day at the website blog for people without access to an affiliate.
CrossFit Inc. certifies CrossFit trainers and licenses the CrossFit name to gyms. Affiliates are free to develop their own programming, pricing, and instructional methods. Many CrossFit athletes and trainers see themselves as part of a contrarian, insurgent movement that questions conventional fitness wisdom. CrossFit is noteworthy for its use of a virtual community Internet model. The company says this de-centralized approach shares some common features with open source software projects and allows best practices to emerge from a variety of approaches, a contention that is disputed by some subject matter experts, competitors, and even affiliates who have parted company with CrossFit. CrossFit adaptations include programs for children, pregnant women, seniors, football players, military special forces candidates, and endurance athletes including triathletes, runners, swimmers and rowers. CrossFit has been adopted by U.S. and Canadian high school physical education teachers, high school and college teams, and a major league baseball team.
Drexler's definition - Crossfit, get your ass kicked doing something you hate, yet you come back for more the next day.
Now, the avgerage time it takes to complete this workout is about 10 - 20 minutes depending on fitness level. 3:19 is a damn good time. The man in the video is a Navy Diver and a competitor in the "Crossfit Games."
Fran is 21-15-9 reps of 95 lb thrusters and pull ups done continuously and for time. This is one of the benchmark workouts for crossfit.
So basically Fran is broken up into this
21 Thrusters then 21 Pullups, finish that then onto
15 Thrusters and 15 pullups, then onto
9 thrusters and 9 pullups, done

Re: docking alone
Sounds like my mom. She is 85 now, buty in the day in her 60s she could stil,l drive a car with a clutch although her enormous Buick Esate Wagon ( boat) had automatic. My dad had a Porshe 911 and one of those old Trans Ams with the Big Red Bird on the Hood. My mom burned out 3 clutches in 4 years taking the Trans Am once in a while. What we didnt know is she couldnt put the car in gear with the clutch in reverse so she always parked in a parking lot was away from everyone so she wouldnt have to reverse this 450 hp monster car. I got a call on day to pick her up as someone had parked in front of her and she was aprked in. When I got there thats what happened she was on the out reaches of an empty parking lot with a VW bug parked in front of her and no one else within 200 yards. Reverse to my mom in this car and on our sailboat was another curse word

So many people have no clue as to what you can and can't do in one of these.

Re: docking alone
As Gary indicated, a full keel boat is very difficult to maneuver in reverse. The solution is to avoid being in that position if at all possible. Most times you can choose the situation that works for your boat. On my A35, I don't even consider backing in anywhere if the boat has to maintain direction in reverse. It is just not predictable enough when singlehanded with no one to fend off or attach a spring. You just can't be in two places at once. I will sometimes back OUT when I can push off by hand and then goose it to gain enough speed for the rudder to start to grab. With someone aboard that is capable of working a spring it can be a different story but not alone.
The best bet is to come in bow first, very slowly. Come in on your port side at a slight angle so that as the reverse propwash pivots the boat clockwise and the boat comes to a stop parallel with the dock. With spring lines ready to grab right at the gate, you can jump off, in neutral, and quickly secure the lines as needed.
Being singlehanded sometimes requires some inventive strategies. Sometimes there are just things you have to avoid doing and make other plans like carrying fuel in jerry jugs instead of even thinking about getting into that crowded fuel dock.
Re: docking alone
all of the above plus lots of fenders. lots of them. you dont want to bash into that lawyer's boat in the next slip do you?
Re: docking alone
Spring line it is all about the springs!
Spring , bow, done (if you reverse in the slip).
Re: docking alone
Over the years I've learned a lot about docking single handed, and there is a major difference between how the varios keeled boats handle backing up. For example, when I had a Catalina 27 with a fin keel and tiller steering, I would put the engine, Atomic-4 inboard, in reverse, gun the engine a bit, shove the tiller hard to port and within seconds the boat was manueverable and I was able to slip into the pier just like I was parking a car. It was a piece of cake.
Now I have a Morgan 33 Out Island with a full keel. Full keeled boats are much more difficult to manuever in reverse, and often they just prop-walk in various directions with no steerage in reverse. YES - different directions of prop-walk. I know it sounds weird, and most folks would scoff at this, but when I experienced it, which has been on several occasions, I was flabergasted.
Consequently, I try to utilize all the elements at hand, wind, tidal currents, prop-walk, etc... It took a bit of practice, but I'm now at the point where I think I could park this hull in any slip where I have 10-feet of fairway clearance - I've done it a dozen times during the past two months and under conditions where people on the docks are amazed. When I docked at Saint Augustine City Marina, a location where the tide screams through the floating docks, the dockmaster asked if I would nose into the slip just to be on the safe side. I said I would rather back in to facilitate easier departure in the morning when no one would be there to assist me. I correctly gauged the wind and current, slowly eased the boat into the fairway, cut the wheel hard to port, and when the boat was 10 feet from the boat opposite my slip, I quickly put the transmission in reverse, turned the wheel to starboard and gunned the engine. The boat came to a stop and with a bit of forward and reverse jockying and, of course, steering hard to port and starboard at the same time, I was able to back the boat directly into the slip, never touched a piling, and stopped it a foot from the pier. At that point the dockmaster slipped a line on the stearn and I proceeded to tie off on the pilings. All of this took less than 2 minutes, but when you're maneuvering between yachts that go for several million dollars each it sure brings out the pucker factor. When I stopped the boat there were a dozen people on the dock applauding. I'm not sure if they were applauding my docking skills, or applauding that I didn't damage their boats in the process.
Bottom line - go out to a soft marker buoy and practice backing down with your boat to that bouy from various directions. Learn how YOUR boat handles in the wind and tidal currents, and what is the best method of approaching. It takes a bit of practice, but in the end you'll feel a lot more comfortable when entering a strange marina.
Good Luck,

No right or wrong way, as long as we all get settled and the ritas are cold.
I laughed when you told how you tell you guests that you need to see so sit down. I used to do that and one of them lept forward out of the cockpit and stumbled up to the bow to get out of my line of sight as I just shook my head is disbeleif.
Re: docking alone
[name of cleat on boat][direction of travel from cleat] spring line.
I agree we have this line and the other two springs colored differently, bow aft and stern forward are red. Midship static is Yellow. Bow and stern blue.

Re: docking alone
With just one line all you have is a noodle if you it is in the wrong direction.
By grabbing this permanent spring line first and dropping the loop over the midship cleat you have eliminated forward motion to hit the dock or rearward motion to drift out of the slip. We also have permanent spring lines on the forward and rear pilings which are much longer lengths whic get applied later as part of the final tie up.
Again the main thing here is to get captured and stop movement. There are many differing ways to accomplish this and somke depend on current, wind and whatever your particular slips nuances dictate. There is no one absolute correct way. In YOUR OWN slips you can do things permanently to make things easier.
Comming into a slip with no lines is always a challenge. As Chuck said getting lines aorund the first poles you pass is a good start and you can use these in combination with your engine to prevent hitting the dock or drifting out while you get the next lines. Getting a line to a midship cleat is usually the great stabilizer if you can also get that line to a piling amidship also.
Practice is the nest teacher so when you are faced with docking in a strange slip you know how your boat handles, and if you have help howto direct that person. This by the way should be talked through BEFORE you hit that slip like agreeing on wind direction current etc. We travel a lot in The lI Sound etc and getting a slip or vgetting fuel is common in strange places. Its good to stand off a minute and acccess the situation with your partner and get your plan together discussing the variables before just charging in.

There's a lot of talk in the Legislature these days about how much money Utahns would save by knocking down the old Utah State Prison in Draper and building a new one ... well, no one knows exactly where.
More to the point, there's a lot of talk about how much taxpayers and, mostly, developers would gain from scrapping the 390 acres in Draper now occupied by the prison and building roads, homes, shopping centers, movie complexes and all the other trappings of southern Salt Lake Valley cities.
Many millions, if not billions, of dollars are at stake. Developers and real estate types would earn a bundle, and the new construction would put a lot of people to work.
But the prison already employs about 1,000 people and has about 1,500 volunteers to watch over about 3,750 inmates. Many of those prisoners, young and old, will one day be free and looking for places to live and jobs of their own.
Estimates put the cost of tearing the existing prison down and building a new one at between $500 million and $600 million. No one knows where, exactly, it might be built. Tooele County or Box Elder County, maybe? How about the flatlands of western Utah?
If so, we'd run into some serious human problems. Would volunteers or family members have the time, money and transportation to visit a distant prison?
What about taking inmates to the University Hospital and its affiliates for health care or getting them to court?
Then there's the people who work there now. Hundreds could lose their jobs.
Meantime, according to the Department of Corrections, many of the buildings at Point of the Mountain have many years, if not decades, of usefulness still in them. The Oquirrh units have about 34 years left, and the Uinta units have about the same, although a couple of those buildings would last another 45 years.
It's true that some units, such as the Wasatch blocks, are getting old. So's the prison's hog shelter, which has lasted 22 years past its sell-by date. But there are a lot of years left in the rest of the complex.
When the move-the-prison debate arose in the 2012 Legislature, then-Corrections Director Tom Patterson told me it would take 10 to 15 years to work out the economics of building a new prison. (Corrections' interim Director Mike Haddon declined to comment Friday.)
Finally, there's the eerie feeling you get when you pass the prison complex on southbound Interstate 15. I wonder if it's ever been a deterrent to some wayward soul who took a look and said, "I never want to go there."
There are so many questions and complexities about demolishing one prison and building another as well as lingering puzzlers about funding, composition of boards, the impact on employees and possible tax ramifications.
Lawmakers would be wise to spend, at the very least, another year in study.

A guide to using your GI Bill® benefits for online colleges.
To assist returning World War II veterans, the GI Bill® of Rights was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on June 22, 1944. It originally ended in July of 1956 but lives on today as the Montgomery GI Bill® with several amended chapters, including the recent Post 9/11 GI Bill®.
Today the GI Bill® provides education assistance for traditional, vocational, or online college, vocational rehabilitation services, health care, and special home and business loans to war veterans, reservists, peacetime service personnel, and in some cases educational opportunities to eligible spouses and children of veterans.
Since the GI Bill® can be used for both in-residence and online college programs, this allows a veteran to return to school no matter where they are in the world or what their schedule.
On average online college programs for military personnel and their spouses cost less per semester credit than traditional ones. Depending on a veteran's specific benefits, this could allow for greater coverage and make a degree program very affordable, if not 100% free.
We work with veterans from all over the world to help them access their GI bill® benefits. Here is a high level overview of the process of pursuing online college for the military using your GI Bill® benefits:
1. Learn what your eligibility will be and what that eligibility will cover using the GI Bill® rates page. Select your correct designation (such as active, reserve, year, etc). Your benefits will differ depending on this designation.
2. Fill out the VONAPP (Veterans On-line Application) to register to apply for your benefits.

His name is Marshall Mathers. He's just a regular guy who happens to have a few alter egos, some skeletons in his closet, and a way with words.
OK, maybe he's not so regular, seeing how the man also known as Eminem has rhymed himself into Greatest Of All Time contention—not to mention that his every move has been publicized and scrutinized since 1999, when The Slim Shady LP donkey-punched the game silly, making it unsafe for pop stars, moms, and anybody else who pissed off the Detroit representer. Ever since, the rap superstar has attempted to keep his private life private, a task he himself makes difficult by always being so brutally honest in his songs. It's his compulsive willingness to share his raw feelings in inspired lyrics and wide-ranging flows that has struck a chord with fans.
But even before his breakthrough, Em was a promising MC looking for his chance to blow. Controversy aside, at the essence of all his music there has always existed a deep-rooted respect for hip-hop. Every lyrical war he waged, whether it was against kin, rap rivals, or the media, every confrontational and/or funny remark he made on record—it could all be traced back to his humble beginnings as a battle rapper from the wrong side of the tracks.
His rise to fame is a real-life drama full of protests, court cases, and a duel with drugs. But, above all else, it's the passion that burns within his competitive nature that has set him apart from many of his peers. How the Great White Hope became possibly the G.O.A.T. is a story best told in verses, so given the fact that The Marshall Mathers LP was just certified diamond, Complex felt it was the perfect time to compile 100 of Eminem's best sonic scriptures to tell the tale of this rapper/producer, shit-starter, loving father, and survivor. As you'll see, Eminem's saga is as much about where he's from, where he's been and where he's at—back on top.

And the Oscar for government subsidies goes to …
posted at 5:19 pm on February 23, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
… everyone in Hollywood! Glenn Reynolds has written a number of times on the fat tax breaks Hollywood gets, perhaps especially when they make films outside of Hollywood. Today, Glenn reminds us of the $1.5 billion in tax breaks that the film industry enjoys — while it scolds everyone else for not paying their fair share:
With campaign season over, you're not likely to hear stars bringing up taxes at this weekend's Academy Awards show. But the tax man ought to come out and take a bow anyway. Of the nine "Best Picture" nominees in 2012, for example, five were filmed on location in states where the production company received financial incentives, including "The Help" (in Mississippi) and "Moneyball" (in California). Virginia gave $3.5 million to this year's Oscar-nominated "Lincoln."
Such state incentives are widespread, and often substantial, but they don't do much to attract jobs. About $1.5 billion in tax credits and exemptions, grants, waived fees and other financial inducements went to the film industry in 2010, according to data analyzed by the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. Politicians like to offer this largess because they get photo-ops with celebrities, but the economic payoff is minuscule. George Mason University's Adam Thierer has called this "a growing cronyism fiasco" and noted that the number of states involved skyrocketed to 45 in 2009 from five in 2002.
In its 2012 study "State Film Studies: Not Much Bang For Too Many Bucks," the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities found that film-related jobs tend to go to out-of-staters who jet in, then leave. "The revenue generated by economic activity induced by film subsidies," the study notes, "falls far short of the subsidies' direct costs to the state. To balance its budget, the state must therefore cut spending or raise revenues elsewhere, dampening the subsidies' positive economic impact."
Michigan's Jennifer Granholm ended up with a Hollywood pie in the face after shelling out tens of millions of dollars in "investments" to draw filmmakers to her state. The money went to build a new state-of-the-art studio at an old GM plant. How did that work out?
Despite tens of millions of dollars in state investment, the promised 3,000-plus jobs didn't appear. As the Detroit Free Press reported last year, the studio employed only 15-20 people. That isn't boffo. That's a bust. The studio has defaulted on interest payments on state-issued bonds, and the guarantors—the state's already stressed pension funds—may wind up holding the bag. "In retrospect, it was a mistake," conceded Robert Kleine, the former state treasurer who signed off on the plans in 2010.
Be sure to read it all — and keep reading it while stars like Eva Longoria talk about helping out burger-flippers. They're helping themselves to taxpayer money more than being concerned about helping anyone else.

"We used this card for our business Christmas Card. We were able to add logos, a personal message, and choose a paper/envelope style. We went with the matte card and paid extra for the gold envelopes- they look great, personal and expensive. We liked them so much that we had more shipped out at a later date and they came in the two days as promised! Will definitely use Tiny Prints in the future!"
"We send out coffee gift cards to my husbands clients each year and these cards were perfect. I'm able to attach the gift cards to the back of this card. We upgraded the paper and it's beautiful. My only suggestion would be to use a navy print color for the gold strip on the front of the card. I used the suggested white and it is difficult to see!"
"For the price, these were perfect. It would have cost me significantly more to custom design my own holiday stationary with the same quality paper. Even when I opted for upgrades like the shimmery paper, metallic envelopes and corner cuts, it was still cheaper than custom printing my own stuff. My logo was printed in full color and looks great. The only thing I don't like is that they have the "tinyprints" trademark on the back of every card. I wish they would offer an option to have that removed. If you're paying for the product, why would you pay for them to have free advertising on your paid item?"

Director Salvador Litvak uses actual Civil War photographs from the Library of Congress as the backdrops for this innovative historical drama detailing the relationship between President Abraham Lincoln (Tom Amandes) and his loyal bodyguard, U.S. Marshall Ward Hill Lamon (Lea Coco). Upon taking his oath of office, Lincoln invites his trusted former law partner Lamon to join him in Washington. Large in frame, good humored, and a deadeye shot, Lamon assumes the role of the president's bodyguard following a failed assassination attempt in 1861. Over the course of the next four tumultuous years, Lamon protects the president with a watchful eye, saving him on numerous occasions and providing companionship in Lincoln's darkest hours. Later, during that fateful night at Ford's Theater, Lamon is away on assignment with direct orders from the president. As word of the president's murder begins spreading across the nation, it's Lincoln's longtime ally and protector who helps to frame the tragic event in a hopeful new context. Penelope Ann Miller, Bruce Davison, and Creed Bratton co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Empty Stocking program entering 30th year
The Empty Stocking Program is celebrating its 30th anniversary in Miles City this year. This program assists the less fortunate families and individuals in Miles City and the surrounding area.
Donna Orthman, with the Custer County Office of Public Assistance, worked with the program for more than 26 years. She said that when the program first started it was run out of the office, which was then located in the basement of the Custer County Courthouse. John Trull, who was the county director at that time, was instrumental in starting the program, which grew throughout years and has been housed in various buildings around Miles City.
Orthman said that starting in 2012, members from the Miles City Jaycees have been providing a lot of help with the program.
"Their enthusiasm has caused them to volunteer to run this program," said Orthman. "We are very fortunate that they are going to do this because it had become a problem for the Empty Stocking Board to continue to run this program and give it all of the attention it so richly deserves and needs."
As a result of the change in sponsorship, the Empty Stocking Program is a little different than in previous years.
Val Pachl and Cindy Anderson are co-chairs of this year's program. According to Pachl, the program will be run out of the basement of the Elks Lodge. Individuals may bring donated new items to the Elks Lodge basement on Tuesday, Dec. 5, from 4 to 7 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 7, from 9 a.m. to noon. During the following week, families that have filled out and returned applications for the program will be contacted and appointments will be made so they can come in and pick up their gifts.
All of the application forms must be returned to the Empty Stocking Program, P.O. Box 1584, Miles City, MT 59301, and the forms must be postmarked by Sunday, Dec. 1.
Forms can be picked up at the courthouse's Office of Public Assistance, Custer County Health Department, Custer County Community Health Center and Head Start.
Pachl said that Miles City has been tremendously supportive of the program over the years.
"If we didn't have the community, we wouldn't have the program," said Pachl. "We take monetary donations all year long, ranging from $25 or less to more than $1,000. We start pulling names for those to be helped by the program and asking for applications from those needing assistance through the program in October. The donations go primarily for children, the elderly and disabled individuals to make their lives a little brighter during the holiday season."
The local firefighters, Thrivent for Lutherans and 4-H youth around Custer County have been assisting with the program. Pachl added that many Miles City churches, the Salvation Army, businesses and service organizations take children shopping for clothing.
"People may 'adopt' families or children for Christmas by providing toys, clothes or other items," said Pachl.
Anyone who would like to help with this year's Empty Stocking Program may call Pachl at 234-4196 or Cindy Anderson at 234-8547. Monetary donations may be sent to The Empty Stocking Program at the above address.
Gift cards also are available for someone to purchase to give donations to the program in the name of a hard-to-buy-for person. The giver may contact Pachl or Anderson to make arrangements to pick up a gift card to be delivered to the recipient or to have the card mailed for the giver.
People can volunteer to help set up items and wrap gifts in the Elks Lodge basement during the week starting Monday, Dec. 9. Also, toy donations may be placed in the Toys for Tots boxes located at various sites around Miles City including Wal-Mart and Discovery Pond.
Pachl said that one Miles City resident shops all year long for the Empty Stocking Program and brings in boxes of toys.
"He doesn't expect any recognition," said Pachl. "He has fun doing this."
In addition to helping make Christmas brighter for families and children, the program has been able to provide assistance to the elderly and disabled by paying some of their rent and fuel expenses with some of the donated funds. Pachl added that the Jaycees is a 501(c)(3) organization.
"We're thankful to the Miles City community for continuing the Empty Stocking Program's tradition, because for some families, these are the only gifts they get," said Pachl.
