What a difference eight years makes.
Morristown's 2009 Martin Luther King Day breakfast, held one day before the inauguration of the nation's first black president, Barack Obama, was a joyful celebration.
On Monday, with Donald Trump's presidency only days away, the affair had a more urgent tone. Speakers implored more than 400 listeners to remain true to King's ideals, and to demand the same from their leaders–even if that feels uncomfortable.
"Trump does not espouse Christian values, no matter how many people say he does," the Rev. Alison Miller of the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship told a crowd at the Hyatt Regency Morristown.
Many stood and applauded. One who remained seated, directly in front of Miller, was Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen (R-11th Dist.), who supports Trump and has been named chairman of the powerful House Appropriations Committee.
During brief remarks that preceded Miller's keynote, the 12-term congressman from Harding wondered aloud what King would think of modern public discourse, "a world dominated by social media, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and fake news."
Disagreements escalate into dehumanization, he said, straining "bonds of understanding and common purpose."
"What we need is more love, more education, more understanding and more kindness," Frelinghuysen said.

Felicia Jamison, who co-founded Morristown's Martin Luther King Observance Committee 47 years ago, said the slain civil rights leader's messages of tolerance and equality are more relevant than ever before. On the eve of a Trump administration and Republican Congress bent on repealing Obamacare and dismantling Obama's legacy, Jamison is trying to remain optimistic.
"I think God is going to speak and change some hearts… I have to be hopeful," she said. "We have to recognize the dignity and worth of all persons. We must see the humanity in each of us."
Morristown High School's string ensemble played soothing notes, scholarships were announced, and invocations were delivered at Monday's event, officially know as the 32nd annual Morris Interfaith Breakfast.
But the theme on the podium was The Dream at the Crossroads, Empowering Love to Overcome– with the emphasis on crossroads.
Matthew Quainno, a 21-year-old a preacher-in-training at the Princeton Theological Seminary, cited perceptions of police brutality in the wake of shootings of blacks across the country, disproportionately high incarceration rates of black and Hispanic men, and the widening gulf between haves and have-nots.
"What are we doing when it's easier to buy a gun than to get a job?…What are we doing when healthcare is an accessory for the poor and a necessity for the rich?…What are we doing when politicians fill their cabinets not with prophets, but with people who seek profits? What are we doing?"
Quainno warned against complacency.
"We run the risk of only being activists on Facebook, but not showing up at protests."

Miller said shootings, the Standing Rock showdown over the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the presidential election, among other issues, amount to a wake-up call for a country "at a crossroads between a revolution of love and a backlash of fear."
"Are you awake? It is a vital question," said Miller. "If you think that Black Lives Matter is only about black people, then you may be asleep. If you think that marching for women's rights is only for women to do, then you may be asleep."

As the mother of a 5-year-old, she said, she is troubled to read of swastikas on playgrounds.
"I know our freedom is interwoven. They will come for all of us, eventually, if we do not unite in a spirit of love that is not complacent. It is a spirit of love that will not let you down, and will not let you off the hook," said Miller, 42.
She challenged churches and law enforcement to listen to, and get behind, movements like Black Lives Matter.
"Something we all need to get used to is being a little bit uncomfortable," said Miller, who is running for election as leader of her national church organization.
The minister said she was heartened by the turnout at a march in memory of patrons massacred at an Orlando gay bar last year.
People put aside their differences, and their discomfort, to come together, she said. It gave her hope for a dream of her own:
"I want to live in a world where people are more comfortable seeing two men holding hands than holding a gun," Miller said.

AFA crafts 5-year operations plan
In its 7th general assembly held in Hanoi, Vietnam last August 2016, AFA approved a five-year strategic plan which prioritizes 5 agenda: (1) secured rights to lands, waters, forests, pastures and seeds; (2) sustainable and resilient agriculture in farms and forested landscapes; (3) cooperative and enterprise development; (4) women; and, (5) youth empowerment.
Last December 3-4, 2016, the AFA members met to work on the details of the strategic plan through an operational planning.
Through a participatory method, the members worked on each agenda to flesh out what AFA wants to achieve in the next five years and what key activities it will carry out in organizing/networking, capacity building, advocacy, KM/M&E, and resource mobilization.
Present during the meeting were API (Indonesia), PAKISAMA (Philippines), FNN and FWN (Cambodia), LFN (Laos), AFFM (Myanmar), VNFU (Vietnam), NLRF and CTCF (Nepal), NAMAC (Mongolia), UWUA (Kyrgyztan), NADF (Tajikistan), AINOUKAI (Japna) and TWADA (Taiwan).
In the business meeting that followed, the 5 year operations plan and the 2017 annual plan were also approved.

Contact Lens Exam
Getting the right start with your contact lenses involves going to an eye care professional who provides comprehensive service. Contact lenses are considered prescription devices, just like pharmaceuticals. Therefore, they must be prescribed and properly fitted by an eye care professional.
The contact lens fitting/evaluation process involves a thorough eye examination and an evaluation of your suitability to wear contact lenses. Supplemental tests need to be done in addition to your routine eye examination to evaluate your candidacy for successful contact lens use. Considerations such as your ocular and general health and the measurement of your corneal curvature, spectacle prescription, and visual needs must be assessed. Our doctors will then choose the appropriate contact lenses for your eyes for proper fit and alignment.
Follow-up Appointments and Training for Contact Lens Care
Follow-up appointments are necessary to ensure a successful fit. During the contact lens fitting/evaluation process, our doctors may request you to return to our office for follow-up visits. These follow-up visits are important to allow any necessary mechanical or optical refinements in lens prescription, monitor adaptation and minimize ocular complications, and reinforce appropriate contact lens care. All of your contact lens follow-up visits for the first 3 months are included in the initial contact lens professional fee, whether you need to be seen once or ten times.
For first time wearers, individual instructions on lens care, maintenance, and handling are further given. The importance of proper hygiene and compliance with contact lens care techniques are stressed during the training process.

Dude…seriously, chill the **** out. Not being able to post multiple links in a comment doesn't mean you should spam an open thread.
Just a tip w/r/t your whining about people not reading comments…don't post 10 consecutive comments with lengthy commentaries. People might do something other than skip over whatever you just posted if you did that.
PaulaG says:
Hey Ed – Remember when I used to leave comments like this for you? Ah… good times. 🙂
Ed says:
Yes. The irony is not lost upon me. The power is going to my head.
EDIT: Also saying it cause I know it works.
SECOND EDIT: To be fair to me, I also wasn't guilty of leaving literally, 8 successive comments in the same thread with a 400-500 word exegesis on each link and then whine when people don't read my stuff. I mean I would whine but at least it was for different reasons.
THIRD EDIT: Just because I can.
PaulaG says:
P.S. Your gravatar is seriously freaking me the f*ck out. Please, can't you use some pretentious indie music thing instead? Perhaps the cover photo from Contra that is the subject of litigation?
The Ed says:
You don't like the GOP tracker? Will think of something shortly.
The Ed says:
Also don't think the creep factor was unintentional. I even pointed this out in the original thread.
Why thanks Eds, for making me the most censored & sanctioned person on here. I'm honored. That 2 posts were 'disappeared', and that like due to the fact that we can not post several links I do lead them in with yes, about Less than 100 words of intro.
Now I know most of them were about economics. And I know that might make for depressing reading. But there was just so much else going on here at the time that well, you needed all that extra space & concentration for discussion of the Bonsai. Go for it Eds! I know more people are interested in that than anything silly on extending the Bush tax cuts. No, you're right. It's really annoying. And detracts from the Bonsai. Thanks for the added serenity Dude. JMP
Since no one else does these things, and it reminds us of archaeology much of the time, we need to remind people of who Mitch Miller was. Here from a nice sounding paper in Rochester, NY:
A once & future musical prodigy in many genres & venues, and widely known & feared as that Van Dyke wearing SOB who tried unsuccessfully to stem the tide of Rock n' Roll @ Columbia Records well into the 1960's as their head A&R man, Mitch Miller was a force of nature. He may have also been the last man alive who recorded playing with Jazz legend Charlie Parker as well. Along the way he nearly killed off Sinatra's career, turned away Elvis, and created a harpsichord hit for Rosemary Clooney in 1951 with "Come On-a My House." And yet, he's as likely to be known for the ever hokey and hopelessly anachronistic 'Sing along with Mitch', albums & hit TV show for NBC from 1961-66. This maven of the novelty hit scored big with the million-selling but well nigh unlistenable "The Yellow Rose of Texas," which spent six weeks at No. 1 in 1955. Still you'd never know that in 1947, the first Miller-produced Mercury (classical) recording, Schubert's "Death and the Maiden" with the Fine Arts Quartet, won a Grand Prix du Disque in France.
[Read more: kansascity.com/2010/08/02/2123679/mitch-miller-music-innovator-and.html#ixzz0vVqW5sim]
This from the Rochester paper: "In recent years, Miller returned to his classical roots, appearing frequently as a guest conductor with symphony orchestras.
In 2000, he won a special Grammy Award for lifetime achievement. "Twenty-five years too late, but I'm happy," he said at the time.
Reuther said her father died of "just old age."
"He was absolutely himself up until the minute he got sick," she said. "He was truly blessed with a long and wonderful life."
Miller was born in 1911 in Rochester, the son of a Russian Jewish immigrant wrought-iron worker and a seamstress. He graduated from the Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester.
He feuded with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra and his alma mater, rifts that were largely healed by the time Miller returned in November 1999 to conduct a concert with the Eastman Philharmonia.
Reuther said there will be a memorial service for her father in the fall".
Another talented, ancient magical musical NY nut gone. JMP

Best cooking show ever!

Surprisingly, the Republican primary bloodbath has not been nearly as enjoyable as I hoped it would be.
Jen B. says:
I thought so too until my husband received a glossy four page "Investigation Journal" by Karen Handel which does nothing but talk about how corrupt Nathan Deal is. I should scan and post it here.
parker404 says:
I saw the IJ linked on Galloway's blog. Kudos to Handel for calling a spade a spade, but it's just so sad that this was the best the Republicans could come up with for a candidate field. Good for us, but really sad for them.
Thanks, I'll (almost) let the sun set and then get back to economics. I can already hear the groaning. But something related to a discussion we've had on the boards. And yes, the amount of vapid commentary on the wedding has almost been astonishing. But I always imagine it might have been far worse. Seemed to go off very well though.
OK here's some other happy news of the day too:

text: The level doesn't drop until things warm up, and then if I were to shut it off it will come back up to normal within 5-10 seconds. Turning it back on will cause the level to drop just as quickly while it's hot. I checked all the hoses and they seem fine. No obvious bulging or soft spots, and no real difference in size when hot. I swapped caps and that didn't change anything. The system is holding pressure. Maybe it's got an air pocket somewhere, though all the hoses are hot and I get plenty of heat when I turn it on. Just the same I'll try to fill it to the brim and see if that changes anything. One thing I wasn't able to find is where the MAX mark is on this reservoir. The MIN is below the seam, but I'm not sure where MAX is. There are no markings for it that I can find. Anyone seen Max? I've only had this car for 6 months and I don't know the history of the coolant system. It has an NG 2.3L transplant in it, but that shouldn't affect the coolant system. Though I've got some cold start/run problems that I still need to get sorted out. But that's a discussion for another day.

Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don't be dejected and sad, for the joy of the Lord is your strength! (Nehemiah 8:10 NLT)
Remember How the Grinch Stole Christmas, one of the fondest Christmas movies there is? The Grinch was miserable, angry, bitter, and determined to make everyone around him the same. He was wrapped up in the affairs of the world and knew nothing of joy. But when the Whos in Whoville got up Christmas morning and celebrated, even though the Grinch had stolen all their gifts and festivities, he realized true joy is found only in your heart.
Right now, the stores are swamped, traffic is thick, bargains are being paraded in front of weary shoppers, money is being depleted that may be needed elsewhere, and many people will spend Christmas in a state of despair and depression. This is one holiday each year that can be filled with awe and merriment, but beleaguered with sadness and pain.
Nehemiah, through opposition and with extreme faith, enlisted the people to rebuild Jerusalem and was able to provide all that they needed. Each group of families repaired a section of the wall until it was complete. After, they celebrated with much merriment. But the people were told to give gifts to those in need so they, too, could join in. Celebration was not to be self-centered; it was to be connected with giving. When we celebrate and give to others, we are strengthened spiritually and filled with the true joy of Jesus.
This Christmas, give tangibly to someone in need—not someone you know, but someone you'd not thought of before. Be like the Grinch, who turned his heart back to the true spirit of the season.

Managing Stress
Ah, today is the first day of my semester break. I have six whole days to stop twitching before the push is on again. And this was a particularly challenging final exam period because we had so many finals in such a short period of time. I must say that I'm proud of how I handled some of the more stressful aspects of this final exam season, remaining calm and collected during practicals. One thing I learned -- I don't like to be rushed.
Stress is present in all our lives, but certain situations really bring it out of us. When I started graduate school, student health came to speak to us and handed out information about how to handle stress. Apparently, academic stress is common. But at what point do we discern between stress responses that are normal to a given situation and stress that becomes pathological? Persistence of exaggerated emotion over a period of time (usually a couple of weeks up to six months or a year) that interrupts daily living and coping is considered a problem that requires outside intervention.
According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), anxiety falls into 5 basic categories:
Obsessive-compulsive disorder: consists of intrusive thoughts (obsessions) combined with repetitive behaviors (compulsions).
Panic disorder: recurring episodes of intense physical fear, without an obvious or immediate source of fear. Anxiety attacks: may manifest with heart palpitations, chest pains, difficulty breathing, or choking.
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD): follows a severe traumatic event that threatens actual harm.
Social anxiety disorder: overwhelming anxiety when faced with everyday social interactions.
Generalized anxiety disorder: a catchall category that describes any chronic anxiety or exaggerated worry that lacks an obvious cause.
According to Experience Life magazine, if you have stress, there are ways to manage it without having to take prescription medication. Food also plays an important role in managing stress and they have a great article titled "Comfort Food." Of course, if your stress doesn't seem like the run-of-the-mill type and you find it disrupting your life, don't hesitate to contact your doctor -- there is help out there.

Operating in the sun and shadows of the Rocky Mountains, Denver, Colorado's State of Mind is made up of five longtime friends who have been playing music together since Michael Keaton was Batman. The band has a wide array of personal styles and influences ranging from jazz and Americana to rock and metal. State of Mind combines guitars, keys, bass, drums and a "city" of percussion to create a rare blend of alternative rock and pop, with hints of Latin and funk and an overall rhythmic drive. Cutting their teeth in the Denver scene for over 20 years, the group's latest offering has been self-branded "Altitude Rock" in homage to living life at 5280 feet above sea level. They released their EP of the same name in late 2016. Sometimes pensive, airy and atmospheric, other times poppy and pulsing, State of Mind's music delivers a "thinking person's" vibe that is always provocative and captivating.
30,000 Days was formed in 2014 in Denver, Colorado with goal of writing and performing classic rock-n-roll music. The music is old school, related (perhaps a cousin) to the rock music streaming out of our car windows and up and down the streets of our teenage years. Loud guitars, hard hitting rhythms, and most of all melodic hooks that stay in your head, long after the songs have stopped give 30,000 Days enough energy to power a fighter jet. It's a fuel that burns full-throttle, ignited by the heat of soulful voices with the power and passion of live performance.
Though all members sing, it is the unique interaction and entwinement of Lars' and Tracey's voices that produce those powerful and unique 30,000 Days melodies and harmonies that grab you and don't let go.
While the songs rock, they are also foot tapping, dance able, accessible songs that you could, (and should) easily hear on your favorite radio station.
The name of the band is based on an estimate of the average human life. It is reflection of the journey and the path that we are all on, and the stark realization that we all have a limited time.
Lars writes simple songs about complex things: love, family, home. Phrases turn, emotions connect, melodies soar. You sing along even though you've never heard the tune before. There is a sublime perspective of distances, of interludes between lovers and lives, and the roads that lead on our life's journeys. There is an existence in time, and fulfillment of each of our precious days...30,000 Days. The band members are: Lars - Vocals, guitar & Keyboards, Tracey Allen - Vocals & Keyboards, Joe Coy - Drums & vocals and Ken Allen an Bass Guitar.
Past of Ashes...is a Rock outfit hailing from Aurora, Colorado. The band melds many elements of music that have influenced them as song writers and as musicians along the way. Leaning toward Progressive Rock, while combining elements of Melodic and Soft Rock...Past of Ashes are one of Denver's up and coming acts to be be reckoned with. The band consists of Danny LeSuer - Lead & Rhythm Guitar, Sarah Monroe - Vocals & Bass and Justin Riss on Drums.

Wenger may take 'buffet battle' off the menu
ARSÈNE WENGER, the Arsenal manager, could today bring to a conclusion the sorry saga of the "Battle of the Buffet" at Old Trafford four weeks ago. Alternatively, should the mood take him, he could prolong the bitter taste of the infamous and unsavoury events for a further week.
Wenger has until 6pm today to reveal whether he intends to appeal against a charge of improper conduct relating to the aftermath of Arsenal's 2-0 defeat by Manchester United last month. He accused Ruud van Nistelrooy, the United forward, of cheating and was consequently charged by the FA.
Whereas Van Nistelrooy immediately accepted a three-match suspension, which he has served, for a dangerous challenge on Ashley Cole that Mike Riley, the referee, had failed to notice, Wenger…

DC Strippers Are Entitled To Minimum Wage: Judge

Howell ruled. The decision granted the dancers summary judgment on the question of liability and paves the way for a trial on damages....

I'm old. I learned to program as a teenager in the 1980s. Back then, we learned to program on small microcomputers. These machines weren't very powerful, but they had a neat feature: they were self-hosted. In recent years, a large variety of small microcontrollers have become popular. Many of these have capabilities far in excess of what we had back then, but almost without fail the programming environments they use are hosted on much more powerful machines, often using code which measures tens or hundreds of megabytes.
That has always seemed a bit excessive to me, particularly since making the environments simple and self-hosted pays benefits for educational and hobbyist applications.
The FIGnition board is a project which seems to combat this trend:
FIGnition is an educational DIY computer, based around an Atmel AVR microcontroller. It uses 3 chips and only 46 components to provide a complete self-hosted computer with 8Kb of RAM; 384Kb of storage space; an 8-key keypad and PAL video output. It is interfaced and powered by USB and uses V-USB to provide firmware upgrades by implementing a usbasp device. It runs a variant of FIG-Forth.
Currently it isn't available in the US since it doesn't do NTSC video, but I suspect that will change soon. I'll be looking back at this project periodically.

VIENNA, May 29 (Reuters) - Austrian property group Immofinanz's first-quarter funds from operations (FFO I), stripping out its ailing Russian portfolio, rose to 10.6 million euros ($12 million), up from 2.5 million a year ago, it said on Monday.
Immofinanz reiterated that it aims by the end of this year to have sold or spun off its Russian portfolio, which has weighed on its results for years, - a deadline that, if missed, could jeopardise Immofinanz's planned merger with CA Immo .
Immofinanz gave no further details on the future of its five shopping centres in Moscow after saying in March it would invite around 25 "pre-qualified" parties which have expressed an interest. ($1 = 0.8946 euros) (Reporting By Shadia Nasralla; Editing by Greg Mahlich)

They are more on the "aggressive" side when it comes to airbag explosive charge. That's what made the Feds clamp down on the airbag charges and allowing disabling of the Pass airbag in 2 seater vehicles because kids were being killed from them. Regards, Ernest.

Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India, and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert
In her early thirties, Elizabeth Gilbert had everything a modern American woman was supposed to want--husband, country home, successful career--but instead of feeling happy and fulfilled, she was consumed by panic and confusion. This wise and rapturous book is the story of how she left behind all these outward marks of success and set out to explore three different aspects of her nature, against the backdrop of three different cultures: pleasure in Italy, devotion in India, and on the Indonesian island of Bali, a balance between worldly enjoyment and divine transcendence. (catalog summary)
There have been some wonderful books with the theme of self-discovery through travel, as in Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. Their journeys have been life-changing for them and perhaps also for the reader.
If you liked Eat, Pray, Love, then you may also like these titles:
Arctic Dreams: Imagination and Desire in a Northern Landscape by Barry Lopez
Set amidst the shimmering seas of Northern ice, Arctic Dreams leads readers on a journey of the mind and heart into a place that grips the imagination and invigorates the soul.

Evocative and everlasting, Arctic Dreams is a classic. (catalog summary)
Blue Latitudes by Tony Horwitz
In an exhilarating tale of historic adventure, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Confederates in the Attic retraces the voyages of Captain James Cook, the Yorkshire farm boy who drew the map of the modern world. Captain James Cook's three epic journeys in the 18th century were the last great voyages of discovery. His ships sailed 150,000 miles, from the Arctic to the Antarctic, from Tasmania to Oregon, from Easter Island to Siberia. When Cook set off for the Pacific in 1768, a third of the globe remained blank. By the time he died in Hawaii in 1779, the map of the world was substantially complete.Tony Horwitz vividly recounts Cook's voyages and the exotic scenes the captain encountered: tropical orgies, taboo rituals, cannibal feasts, human sacrifice. He also relives Cook's adventures by following in the captain's wake to places such as Tahiti, Savage Island, and the Great Barrier Reef to discover Cook's embattled legacy in the present day. Signing on as a working crewman aboard a replica of Cook's vessel, Horwitz experiences the thrill and terror of sailing a tall ship. (catalog summary)
What would really happen if thousands of people died in a city every day from an illness? Even worse, a city with few to no hospitals and only a bare bones emergency infrastructure? When the illness might leave no mark on a person until he or she fell over dead in front of you? And that's when you realize, you have been exposed and could be next. What would you do?
I've got a severe case of wanderlust. Often I can get a healthy fix as an armchair traveler—exploring the world by reading books of others' exotic expeditions. But NOTHING compares to globetrotting in person to locales both near and far.
It's 1879, and Captain De Long and his 32 men receive quite the send-off on their way to explore the Arctic. Financed by an eccentric playboy newspaper publisher, they are as prepared as possible for the grueling years of making camp on ice floes, as well as winters of darkness and aching loneliness. Hampton Sides' In the Kingdom of Ice sets down their story of trying to be the first to reach the North Pole—which they and much of the scientific community believe to be a warm sea.
American counterculture hit the mainstream in the 1960s, but it had already been stewing for over a decade with the Beat generation. This group of novelists, poets, and playwrights pushed against the norms of Eisenhower's post-war optimism to reveal a different side to the nation.

One of the frustrations of browser testing is that Internet Explorer often renders elements of the page in ways you would never expect. One such example is in scrollbars on textareas. IE (and some other browsers) likes to throw scrollbars into your textareas even when they're not necessary.
Thankfully, there is a very simple and easy way to fix this.
The Solution
To fix this little annoyance, just add this one line of code to your textarea's CSS:
textarea { overflow: auto; }
That's it! Easy, right? Now the scrollbar will only show when it's necessary. In other words, it will be invisible until enough text is written in the textarea to grow beyond its bounds, in which case the bar will be shown.
Want to really kill that scrollbar?
Just add this line of code to your textarea's CSS, and the scrollbar will never be shown, even if the user fills up the textarea!
textarea { overflow: hidden; }
I wouldn't recommend doing that unless you have a good reason, though, because you won't be able to see what you're typing into a textarea with that CSS. It can be useful sometimes, though. Try it out!

Swizz Beatz remixes Go New York Go
Swizz beats with the anti-midas touch.
Swizz beats with the anti-midas touch.
If Amar'e Stoudemire wasn't there, Melo would've made an off the glass self-alley-oop game winner.
They really thought a scorer that doesn't play defense added to a team full of scorers that don't play defense was supposed to make them a better team. D'Antoni is the least of their problems. If George Karl can't get Melo to play D, I don't know who else can. All Knicks fan can do is not care too much until Chris Paul comes to NY in 2012.
But NY is back right? First round playoff exit! Yeaaaaaa!
Carmelo Anthony saved his team from what would've been an embarrassing lost to the Gay-less Memphis Grizzlies. This is what great players do. They don't blame their coach, they rise to the occasion.
Ron Artest keeps frontin. Everyone knows you can't hug your therapist!
Carmelo Anthony and Amar'e Stoudemire weren't as compassionate. via ESPN
When the locker room first opened to reporters after the game, Stoudemire and Anthony were bantering and laughing about players on the Miami Heat crying after their loss earlier Sunday to the Chicago Bulls, with Stoudemire fingering Chris Bosh(notes) as the watery-eyed one (although Bosh, when asked by reporters in Miami whether he had cried, said he almost had but did not).
"I heard Chris Bosh was crying tears," Stoudemire said.
"Tears?" Anthony asked.
"Yeah, tears," Stoudemire replied.
"Wait 'til I call him, man," Anthony said. "I'll be like: 'What are you doing?'"
Very appropriate response for two very competitive players. Heat deserve to get clowned for this soft shit. This is a regular season game. C'mon! Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and all the other greats are shaking their head in disgust at the Heat.
Ahh yes the obligatory hip-hop song for your favorite team using Wiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow" instrumental. This time it's brought to you by Judge, up and coming rapper, who's Amar'e's artist. Making a song about your boss, that's a new level of ass kissing. You know what it is!
Swag over a trillion thousand on this one. This must be similar to how Knicks fan celebrated when they heard Melo was coming to town.
There will be countless Melo Knicks shirts in the coming days. But you'll gain basketball nerd props for a t-shirt inspired by Patrick Ewing's 1986 adidas logo! It's only fitting Melo is compared to Ewing. He will usher in a new era of Knicks dominance but fall short of championship glory.
Yours for $28 @ Undrcrwn
At first glance, Knicks gave up a lot: "Danilo Gallinari, Raymond Felton, Wilson Chandler, the Knicks' 2014 first-round pick, two second-round picks New York acquired from the Golden State Warriors in the David Lee sign-and-trade and $3 million" (yahoo). Wilson Chandler wasn't signed long term and he would become a bench player if he wasn't traded. Danilo Gallinari is trigger happy with his shots and plays mediocre defense. And Raymond Felton was only signed for 2 years because the Knicks are eyeing Deron Williams or Chris Paul in the future.
It's too bad Mike D'Antoni is still the coach. The fun will be over by May every year. The East playoffs are going to be a bloodbath. Boston, Miami, Chicago, New York, and to a lesser extent Orlando.
Denver will have to rebuild but at least they can still compete for now. And they're better off than Cleveland. Both franchises were "saved" by drafting Melo and LeBron, respectively. And now both have to deal with their departures.
Carmelo Anthony is already preparing for life in New York. Here he is wearing a polar bear's paws that he slaughtered.

The First Amendment to the Constitution is the most sacred text in America.
Americans are familiar with the right to practice our religion, speak our minds, enjoy a free press and gather together to demonstrate peacefully.
The tradition of free speech is part of the fabric of the country.
However, the meaning of free speech is never settled. Take the case of the killings at the French magazine Charlie Hebdo. The magazine showed cartoons of the Prophet Mohamed. Islamic law forbids images of the Prophet.
Free speech was shut down when the shots were fired. Threats continue from Islamic terrorists to kill people who insult their beliefs.
Some famous writers wondered if the magazine had gone too far in running the cartoons. They said if you are trying to provoke people do not be surprised when they react.
Is killing someone ever the answer? Of course, the answer is "No."
A group of writers protested an honor given to the magazine. They say it is not a matter of free speech because it was not the government that killed the writers. It was just criminals. Others say it is the job of the government to protect writers. Many believe that insulting speech is the speech that has to be most safeguarded.
The other day, police in Texas killed two Muslims using automatic weapons, who attacked a rally making fun of Islamic restrictions. The rally was a "hate" event. But in America, free speech trumps everything.
Most people in their daily lives do not test the limits of free speech. However, it is a freedom to be guarded carefully.

I Love This Car
By pebblebeach on
Vehicle2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C350 Sport 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 7A)
ReviewI was cross-shopping BMW 335i and Audi S4. When I drove the C350, I knew this was the car for me. Sure, it's not as fast as either the 335 or S4 but overall it is perfect. Mine has the P2 package, Multimedia package, Panarama sunroof, 18" rims and iPod adapter. There are more audio storage options than I could probably ever fill. The stereo is great and the build quality is fantastic. I love driving this car and everything about it. I have no regrets and do not miss having a BMW. I will keep this car for a long time. Drive it, you won't be disappointed.
Best FeaturesMultimedia package - love the navigation, Harmon Kardon stereo and the ability to rip CDs to the hard drive. I could spend all day listening to music in the car. The iPod adapter is great too because I can scroll through all my playlists and songs by name.
Worst FeaturesFirmer and/or sportier seats with leather standard.

ESPN analyst Ron Jaworski is ranking the 32 starting NFL quarterbacks and San Diego Chargers QB Philip Rivers ranked 17th on his list in 2013 after he ranked seventh on Jaworski's list last year.
Rivers' ranking is surprising in a sense that when the former Philadelphia Eagles QB ranked him seventh last year, Rivers was coming off a 2011 season in which he had 27 touchdowns and 25 turnovers. Rivers had 26 touchdowns and 22 turnovers this season, but his offensive line was worse in 2012 than it was in 2011.
San Diego's offensive line allowed 30 sacks in 2011 which ranked 25th in the league, while they allowed 49 sacks in 2012 which ranked fourth in the NFL.
There is no denying that Rivers has to cut down on his unforced turnovers to be a better QB in 2013 because they are the main reasons why he did not play like the elite QB he was from 2008-2010.
Rivers had better weapons when Jaws ranked him seventh because San Diego was sixth in receiving yards and 10th in yards per reception in 2011, while they ranked 22nd and 30th in these categories last season.
The loss of Vincent Jackson to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was a huge blow to the passing attack, but Rivers also struggled due to a horrific rushing game which took little to no pressure away from him. San Diego ranked 14th in yards per rushing attempt in 2011 compared to 31st in 2012.
San Diego also went from ranking seventh in rushing touchdowns with 16 in 2011 to four rushing touchdowns in 2012, which was tied for last with the Oakland Raiders.
Rivers had about 64 fewer passing yards per game in 2012 than he had in 2011, which was due in part to his offensive line and a lack of weapons, but his QB rating in 2011 was 88.7 while it was 88.6 in 2012. Rivers also had a slightly higher completion percentage in 2012 than he had in 2011.
A case can be made that Rivers was better in 2012 than he was in 2011 when one factors in everything which makes his 10 spot drop on Jaworski's 2013 list surprising to me.

- understand exactly what your clients need to disclose and in which circumstances
- improve your confidence in helping them to prepare for positive disclosure.
Why you should choose us

text: By PSW Staff • March 12, 2012 A new MLA Compact loudspeaker at the HMV Apollo Hammersmith with North American team members (left to right) Ferrit Rowe, Rob Hofkamp and Jim Jorgensen. (Larger image below) Get more of the latest news from the 2012 PL+S show. In its first international showcase, Martin Audio recently unveiled the new MLA Compact Multi-cellular Loudspeaker Array at the storied HMV Apollo Hammersmith theatre in West London for a gathering that included the company's global distributor network and members of the pro audio media. The feedback received over the two-day, four-session event was highly positive. In his opening speech, Martin Audio managing director Anthony Taylor referred to the 900 original MLA systems now out in the field, stating that the release of a compact version was an inevitable consequence of the MLA's success. "We have been working on this really for the last 14 months, and we are very excited by the concept," Taylor states. "It has all the attributes of the original MLA — it is an incredibly powerful system, and the fact that it is scalable will put us into all kinds of different areas. The Compact is particularly well suited for installation projects as well as side fills for the MLA and venues up to 5,000 seats." He adds, "I think the market expected us to go to a smaller box with the same characteristics, and this is really just the start of how we will deploy this technology." At the unveiling, Martin Audio R&D director Jason Baird provided an in-depth presentation of the MLA Compact system before two hangs of 12 elements, rigged for the occasion, were revealed (along with stacked DSX subwoofers) –– courtesy of the production support provided by corporate event specialists USS. Reference tracks were used to demonstrate different optimizations — including spoken word (Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy), Jennifer Warnes' Somebody, Somewhere and a blast of Rammstein. Guests were then invited to walk the room to experience the consistency of the cellular control, as well as to the back of the stage, behind the hangs, where the sound levels were noticeably quiet. The Martin Audio North American team — Rob Hofkamp (sales director), Ferrit Rowe (MLA technical training manager), and Jim Jorgensen (MLA support specialist) — was also on hand for the launch. "The MLA Compact is poised to make a dramatic impact on the U.S. market, both for fixed installations and regional sound companies," Hofkamp states. "Its light weight, scalability and competitive pricing, coupled with the power and seamless coverage of MLA technology, make it a market leader right out of the box." Further technical details of the MLA Compact will be released soon. Find out more about the MLA concept and technology here.

As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. In-person class registration has largely been replaced with online sign-up, and many schools offer mobile apps that streamline the course registration process.

Whether you would like to study language to broaden your cultural skills, or are thinking of living abroad, learning a foreign language may help you land a job after graduation. While it's true that taking Arabic or Chinese classes would be great in order to tour Asia or the Middle East, it's a fact that becoming a bilingual speaker is a great skill to list on your resume. Most Arabic of Chinese language courses will have advanced placement (AP) testing available, if you seek advanced standing, or college credit for language fluency that you possess.
If you want to learn to speak a language, there's no easy way around straight memorization, speaking practice, diction drills, and vocabulary fluency. If you note that a young child can pick up a new language in under four years just by watching and listening to others, think what you can do with concentrated language study. The Foreign Service Institute has developed rapid-learning language programs in both Arabic and Chinese, and the Rosetta Stone program is a software-based introduction to a language, which teaches you basic vocabulary, pronunciation, spelling, and grammar. Beyond consideration for Cal State Dominguez Hills Chinese literature, you may think about Anoka Technical College continuing education classes for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

At the hospital where I was an inpatient, they were worried about my circulation and leg clots, since I was mostly prone. They had me wearing elastic thigh-highs. These were not sexy. The medical stockings were white, with a horizontal weave that made me look like a mummy. I was so skinny that they wouldn't stay up and bunched up around my knees.

Because I had to spend so much time in the gym at first, I began to listen to recorded books there to pass the time. Soon I had rules about this art form:
1) Technical books that benefit from charts and graphs, or that you might secretly skim here or there, like Guns, Germs and Steel, are not good recorded books.
2) Most authors are not good as narrators, and should hand over their books to actors to read.
3) An exception is John le Carré, who narrates in a deep sexy cadence.

"The difference between the almost right word & the right word is really a large matter–it's the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning." – Mark Twain
Sounds like aphasia, when the wrong words pop out of your mouth? At the hospital I wanted to say "sugar pops." I said "chickenpox."

Critical Evaluation
(Critical Survey of Literature, Revised Edition)
Hilaire Belloc—poet, novelist, essayist, biographer, historian, polemicist and propagandist—was a writer so prolific and versatile that it is almost impossible to designate any one of his works as best or even representative; but THE PATH TO ROME is in many ways as typical as any in revealing his intellectual attitudes, the nature of his faith, his outlook on the world, and the qualities of his style.
The book is an account of a walking tour that Belloc made one summer from Toul, in eastern France, across the Alps in Switzerland, and down through northern Italy to Rome. Throughout the book Belloc provides a great many digressions: accounts of the people and the scenery, essays on society and character, stories told to divert the reader much in the manner that Laurence Sterne used stories in his accounts of his travels, observations on language, culture, universities, and poetry. But Belloc's principal digression from the theme of his walking tour is his constant reference to and discussion of the Roman Catholic faith. Although THE PATH TO ROME is not a symbolic journey into Catholicism, it is an attempt to get at the essential meaning of experience by observing the area as closely as possible, just as, for Belloc, Catholicism was the religion which expresses the essential truths of experience. Catholicism is an important theme in THE PATH TO ROME; the religion gives the digressions a sense of direction, just as Rome itself provides the geographical direction of the tour.
Throughout, Belloc provides maps and sketches that he himself drew. The maps, all complete with directional arrows toward Rome, show the villages he passed through and the mountains he crossed in Switzerland. The mountains are drawn with faces, passes, and routes clearly shown. The sketches of buildings and churches that interested him along the way are also drawn with a great deal of careful detail. Twice, on his walking tour, Belloc persuaded himself to take short train journeys. In both instances, once just before he reached Milan and once not far from Siena, Belloc was almost out of funds. Had he continued walking, he would not have had enough money to buy the minimum amount of food to sustain him on his walking tour. Thus he saved time and took the train to the city where his money was waiting for him.
THE PATH TO ROME is written in the first person. But Belloc frequently interrupts his monologue by means of a character called "Lector" who derisively jibes at the author for any pretentious statement or complains when the narrative is broken off to pursue one of Belloc's pet theories. The author answers Lector and often puts him down.
Lector is a convenient device for Belloc, a means of focusing the reader's attention on the particular point or digression the author is eager to make. For example, Lector's interruptions allow Belloc to go on about human pride and pride in the intellect, one of the sins that he finds most harmful among human beings. Lector is also a means of self-satire, for he sometimes complains after the author has indulged in a passage of purple descriptive prose, reminding the author of his original dedication to simple and careful writing. Lector, in other words, gives Belloc's account a wider perspective, allows the reader to see that the author, while strongly immersed in his own observations and point of view, is also wise enough to detect the possible...

ColdFusion is a popular programming language and the emerging technology is also seeing a parallel increase in the growth of the community of ColdFusion programmers. Custom ColdFusion development companies offer services to hire ColdFusion programmer teams for bespoke web applications. ColdFusion programming language has been a successful tool to develop websites and web apps for every kind of business across all categories and sizes.
ColdFusion web programmers have been greatly in demand as a consequence to the popularity and demand of the programming language itself. Built on a robust J2EE platform, ColdFusion aids development of complex, interactive and dynamic websites and web apps. It is much faster compared to other development platforms, which is why it is rightly known as Rapid Application Development language too. ColdFusion was developed way back in 1995 and since then the language has been evolving and improving only to be better with each version. ColdFusion programmers are experts in developing websites using this amazingly advantageous programming language.
Today a lot of offshore outsourcing web development companies from India offer services into custom ColdFusion development. The growing demand of ColdFusion programmers stems from the inclination towards this programming language from developers and clients alike. ColdFusion programmers at these development companies are professional veterans in the industry who hold considerable experience into website development using ColdFusion. Hiring ColdFusion programmer for website development has become a usual practice for offshore clients who seek programmers who are not only technically sound but also cost-effective. ColdFusion programmers are expected to be creative, experimental and innovative in developing customized websites for clients. They can also add a lot of interactive elements like Flash and Java to the website to make it more engaging and entertaining. Clients that hire these programmers constantly communicate with their dedicated developers until the finish of the project and also monitor their projects remotely from any part of the world.


text: Hi, I just discovered the bolt-on option of using 993tt calipers/RS2 brackets/A8L rotors on the G60 cars. I vaguely recalled there was a factory combination like that, but didn't know which. Since I have the brackets already, I think I'm going to go this route. I saw that ECS has 993tt calipers available in silver. Does anyone know if this was a Porsche factory color? If so, which cars had these calipers? I understand Big Blacks were from 928 GTS' for example. I would want original paint and not a repaint and the silver looks kinda nice. Also, what was that (previous) listers website that dealt with Porsche brakes? I can't remember what the site was, but he sold caliper decals and rebuilt parts or services. His name was something like Michael Waccholz or something like that. He would participate in various opinionated threads about brakes. =) Ring a bell? I believe he's the one that brought up the information that killed Bira System 4 way back when. Thanks, Ken

Who are the Magi? Why does O Henry compare his story "The Gift of the Magi" to them ?
- print Print
- list Cite
The Magi were the wise kings who visit newborn Jesus and bestow upon him gifts of Frankincense, myrrh, and gold. According to the Book of Matthew in the Bible, the magi follow the star from the East to Jerusalem, looking for the one born to be the king of the Jews. When King Herod hears of their arrival, he wants them to find out more about the prophecied Christ. When the magi finally reach their destination in Bethlehem, they see Jesus with Mary and worship him, bestowing their gifts to the newborn king. The magi, full of love for Jesus, do not return to report back to Herod, but rather go home a different way.
"The Gift of the Magi" as a title suggests story about a gift given from the heart, free of unselfish desires or motives. Like the magi in the Bible, Delia and Jim Young both offer gifts to each other in complete sincerity and out of love.

Answer: Our goal is to make the site enjoyable for everyone. Part of accomplishing this means keeping worthless or unwanted messages and content to a minimum. In addition to our Moderators' activities, our system has built-in filters that prohibit certain types of behavior. This includes behavior that could be perceived as abusive by other members, even if that wasn't the intention. For more information please read this.
I think something's broken on the site - or maybe just for me. How do I file a technical support request?
Answer: Please post all technical support requests in the Help & Feedback Forum.
Deletion Questions

I want to delete a whole thread I started. Is this possible?
Answer: Unfortunately, a thread may not be deleted once it is started. Our forums and threads are a collaborative work by our members, and many people contribute to each topic and forum. It becomes a part of the community and is "owned" by the community - not just the starter. One member cannot dictate to the rest of the members that it should be deleted.
I want to delete a post I added to a thread. Can I do this?
Answer: Typically, no - for the same reason why whole threads cannot be deleted. As a thread has progressed, your post has become a part of it - like bricks supporting a structure. It's likely that other members' comments have reacted to yours and/or the conversation has been influenced by your contribution to the thread. In most cases, we will not delete individual posts. In certain cases, we will make exceptions to this rule, especially for our high point-earning contributors. If you are an active member on the site and feel like your situation warrants an exception, please PM davstar directly.
What if I just add something nasty and illegal to my post or thread? Won't that get it removed?
Answer: No, it will just get the individual post flagged and your account suspended or banned.
I want to cancel my SexForums account. What do I do?
Answer: We have set up a process to cancel your account online. Go to the Request account deactivation form to terminate your account.
Why do you ask for verifying data on the Request account deactivation form?
Answer: Cancellation is permanent and cannot be undone. To protect our members from malicious cancellation requests, we have appropriate security measures in place that are required to identify you as the true owner of the account you wish to cancel.
Point System Questions
What is the points system again, and why does it matter to me?
Answer: The points system is the core ranking system here at SexForums. It is how we recognize and reward the members who add the most value to the community by adding great content, inviting new members to join, and helping others. It matters because points leaders will earn perks and special access that regular members will not - in addition to being recognized prominently on the site as a points leader. Also, we give away great prizes for points leaders on a monthly and an annual basis. For more information, please click here.
OK, I'm interested! How do I earn points?
Answer: For starters, if you complete your profile, get new members to join SF, and regularly add content to the site, you'll earn points and be in contention. For more information on earning points, please visit our How To Earn Points page.

Answer: We take member complaints and objections very seriously. For this reason, we encourage direct contact with davstar, the head administrator for the site. We don't recommend posting complaints in the Help & Feedback Forum since the response will be much slower.
I think I have what it takes to become a Moderator. Where do I apply?
Answer: Being a Moderator on SexForums requires dedication of time and a level of maturity and community respect that must be evident in your history on the site. If you've been active on the site for a while and are interested in taking on the responsibilities and excitement of becoming a Moderator, please visit our Contact Us page and select "Moderator Applicant" from the drop-down menu.

I am a former Montrealer now living in Ottawa. I will be heading to Montreal at the end of September for my university homecoming. I visited Montreal last year for the first time in 6 or 7 years and although alot of Montreal has stayed the same the dining scene has changed. When I was in town last year I took a nostalgic foodie tour of Montreal and have decided to scratch most of the places off my list and the only places I would return to are Le Paris and Estatoria Via Sou on Queen Mary. (FWIW I tied in visits to Bar B Barn - I'm done with that place - and Mr. Steer.)
So my question to you Montrealers is which restaurants would you recommend? I am planning on staying at Le Chateau Versailles so I would prefer to stick to downtown or Chinatown but it looks like there are a lot of good restos in Le Plateau. Recommendations in any of those three neighbourhoods would be great. I plan on taking public transit.
I would also like to tie in a dinner at Joe Beef - how far in advance would you recommend making a reservation? Is the day before suitable? Or a few days or longer even?
I also found out about a resto in Chinatown that looks interesting called The Noodle Factory. Has anyone eaten there recently? And what did you think of it? There are some reviews on chowhound but they are a little older... Any feedback would be appreciated.

I put up a blog with some Taiwan street photographs in coloured version earlier. While working with them I realised that some of those pictures look amazing in black and white. So I did a black and white series on Instagram. Somehow a lot of the street photographs I find online seem to look way better in black and white. Why is this I wonder? Or have I gotten *ahem* old and wise? Like with wine – old is vintage. 😀
So here are the Taiwan Street Photographs in Black and White I shared on Instagram. Enjoy!
Cycle vendor cart in Taipei selling traditional Chinese foods. Found it so quaint.
Kite flying in Anping.
The bright orange Octopus kite took up too much attention in the coloured version of the photo, the real focus should be on that chair and drink glass to the side. Someone is just chilling in their own chair on the street. So much chilled out coolness.
Sitting by on a rainy day.
Random street pic in Taipei.
Strolled into a marketplace… Wondered if it would be a meat fest but nope, it is a leaf fest 😀
At the Raohe night market, had a delicious glass of Cranberry juice.
Strolling around Taipei, temples are a common sight.
Woke up one morning to the sound of drums. A procession for the nearby temple passing right outside our hotel. These cultural touches make an Indian feel at home in Taiwan. 🙂
So that's all with the bnw pics.
Which version do you prefer – black n white or the coloured ones?
Oh and follow me on Instagram 😉
