ChairsContemporary Dining Chairs | Modern Dining Chairs | Upholstered Chairs
ChairsChairs have two important ancestors: the uncomfortable benches, very much used during the Middle Ages, where people would sit straight and could not relax their spines; and of course the thrones, meant for important and rich people. Today, everyone can sit on comfortable chairs, despite their role in society and wealth. Imperial Line and Compar offer dining chairs that make the user feel like the owner of a throne in their own house. Originally, benches and chairs were made of solid wood, but today you can find chairs made of any material - and we really suggest you to give a look to our catalogue and find the most suitable for the style of your kitchen or rooms in general.
Translucent chairs are particularly on trend, and they add a touch of modernity to your style. They look great with modern and contemporary furniture, but they are also stunning with a more traditionally furnished room. My Italian Living offers translucent chairs of different colours and shapes. If you like the Bauhaus style, we have many products that may look good for you, or if you prefer more traditionally designed chairs which may remind you of the chairs you had in your parents house, then we have something for that as well. We are particularly proud of the exceptionally modern ones, created by revolutionary designers. Chairs can change shape, colour and finish as time passes, but what remains important is that they must be comfortable. Since everyone has their own idea of what comfort is, we wanted to present a very wide range of different chairs - and if you feel like giving a touch of stylish rusticity to your house, we have a solution: benches and stools of many colours and shapes.
Stackable chairs are a perfect solution if you have a big family or if you like to give dinner parties. Who does not have guests every now and then? That's why stackable chairs are not only a solution for big families but also for singles who enjoy having dinner with friends or relatives. If you are particularly creative, you may want to choose different coloured chairs. If instead you give the priority to the material and the natural touch that your chairs may give to your house, then you only have to choose between the many natural materials our chairs are made of - that is wood, leather and other kinds of fabric. Of course, the wooden one is very classical and elegant. Be aware that choosing a chair is very difficult - you may want to consider an upholstered one, a semi-armchair (chair with armrests), a folding one and so on, depending on the space and the way in which you are going to use it. You may also want to think about the way you sit, how you bend your back and your nape and the place where you are going to put the chair - of course kitchens and living rooms need different kinds of chairs.
To help you choose your chair, we suggest you read this article.

Koku Gamer writes: "The original Bioshock was one of the best games of the last decade. Sure, it looked fantastic and had gameplay that was as well executed as it was unique, but it was the immersive setting and exceptional story that made the game not only stand out from the crowd, but a truly memorable title. So naturally, any developer who was tasked to work on the inevitable sequel and be forced to live up to such a high standard was walking into hell. That is to say, it's no easy task to develop a sequel that lives up to the quality of the original game, let alone one that is so successful and highly acclaimed. But alas, we now have Bioshock 2, a highly ambitious title trying to live up to a highly unobtainable standard. So does Bioshock 2 succeed? Let's find out."
about to go play this right now... cannot wait to return to Rapture
I like it as much as the first, sure it's not the same epic feeling you got from the first but that's because the original aspect of it is gone. Since it's a sequel.
I think this game is much better on the PS3. Also the multiplayer was not a needed thing in Bioshock 2.

This page will be segmented when it gets too long. Add information by clicking on "edit" above. Items should begin with term (if available) and year together with a letter to allow for distinguishing subsequent documents in the same year and term. The designation should be in bold. Thus an entry will appear as H1285 A:. Text thereafter should indicate what the document concerns. The link to the document should be a copied and pasted full web address (http:// . . .) surrounded by single brackets ( [ ] ). Leave a line between entries. The 25-year segments begin with a vertical bar and end with a vertical bar minus. Avoid other more complex codes. If you want to append a translation, provide a completely unique address surrounded by double brackets: Duties H1275 A Tr. Such an address indicates sector and year, the A indicates it is the first document entered for that year and term, the Tr indicates it is a translation. That will constitute a unique address. DO NOT attempt to re-order documents within a term to achieve a perfect chronology, since it will invalidate other references to re-named documents.

When the Gorillaz produced and released an entire album using solely an iPad, it got really easy to begin the funeral dirge for the PC.
With the new iPad release, users can lean back and comfortably move on, entirely, with a handheld window into the Cloud. But they can't quite ditch the desk, chair and PC.
What we saw CEO Tim Cook roll out was more than an amazing screen that visibly distances Apple even farther from any competition -- but users still can't type on it. At least, not with any real, comparable speed.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
If Apple can tap out a solution to tapping out quick prose, then it really will have built an opportunity for it to kill its own PC business -- along with everyone else's.
They did make some strides in that direction, though. One, succinct example of the capabilities Apple is carving out for itself is the native iPhoto software on this third-gen tablet. (ReadWriteWeb's Dan Frommer drills into how Apple really is in its own green field of opportunity.)
Editing, color correction, auto-recognize -- even pre-set filters (hello, Instagram) -- it all points to a mouse-less, stylus-less, fingers-only world for multitouch editing from anywhere users can haul their 9.7-inch Retina Displays.
Until you get to the caption field. Granted, a few characters is nothing to quibble over. But until I can type out a story on my iPad as fast as I can on this physical keyboard it's still only a somewhat-post-PC world.
The other thing we saw when Cook was on stage was a somewhat creepy mannerism reference to former CEO/visionary Steve Jobs. This product iteration most likely has some of the last fingerprints Jobs put on the product pipeline transformative experience he created.
Cook never mentioned Jobs. He didn't say, even as homage, "One more thing." He did prayerfully put his hands before him, like Jobs would often do. Many people make that gesture, but being on that stage, at this time?
It's a distinction without a difference in the long run: this iPad continues the "changes everything" meme that will continue to drive PCs underground.

10 web sites where surfers spend the most time
- Americans spend most of the web time on Facebook
- Most of the time spent on Google is on its YouTube site
- ESPN is the only %27specialized%27 site to make the top 10 sites
Though the Internet is made up of tens of millions of web sites, people spend the vast majority of time on just a handful of them. According to comScore, an Internet analytics company, Americans spend most of their time online on Facebook -- 10.8% in December 2012. That month, Americans spent another 10% of their Internet time on Google properties, including Google search and YouTube. Based on comScore's report, "U.S. Digital Future in Focus 2013," 24/7 Wall St. identified the 10 Web properties where people spend the most time.
Many of the top online sites have managed to significantly increase the time spent on their sites in the past year due to the rise in mobile devices, such as tablets and smartphones. The top 25 digital media properties in December 2012 increased their reach through mobile channels by 29% compared to December 2011. Some increased significantly more than that. ESPN expanded its digital reach by 56% compared to 2011, more than any of the 25 largest online properties except for Pandora.
The growth in mobile engagement has not necessarily been good news for Internet companies. "There is a concern that there is trading dollars for dimes," Andrew Lipsman, comScore's vice president of marketing and industry analysis, told 24/7 Wall St. in an interview. Advertising rates on mobile devices are just a fraction of what they are on desktop computers.
Carmela Aquino, a senior marketing manager at comScore, added that while there certainly has been a shift to mobile devices, their usage has often complemented personal computer usage rather than replaced it altogether.
Still, some of the move to mobile has cannibalized surfing the Internet on a PC. To compensate for some of the loss, along with generally trying to boost engagement on all platforms, there has been an increased emphasis on video content at many of these properties, which commands much higher advertising rates.
Sites such as Yahoo! and AOL have made significant investments in video content through Yahoo! Finance's live programming and The Huffington Post's HuffPost Live. Lipsman also points out that Google's Youtube site, which has been streaming videos since 2005, has seen the quality of its user generated content increase significantly. Higher quality and longer form content should improve advertising revenue.
"What the Internet went through in the past decade, mobile will have to go through the next decade," Lipsman said. "But over time, advertising dollars follow eyeballs."
There have been other reasons that engagement has risen on many of these properties. Portals, such as Yahoo!, are offering customized content to individual users based on their search history and what their friends have shared on social media. Both Aquino and Lipsman argue such customization makes the sites more attractive to users.
Furthermore, engagement also has risen and likely will continue to do so on sites such as Amazon and eBay due to the growth in online retail. For instance, during the final three months of 2012, eBay sales rose 18% compared to the prior year. At Amazon, those sales rose 35%.
Based on comScore data, 24/7 Wall St. reviewed the 10 Web properties where Americans spend the most time relative to the total amount of time spent on the Internet. We also looked at comScore data on the total number of unique visitors for each of the 25 largest Web properties in December 2012, breaking down the number of visitors by desktop computer and mobile device. In addition, we considered the market share for Internet search engines and social media, also provided by comScore.
--0.6% of time spent online
--38.7 million desktop visitors
--34.6 million mobile visitors
Based on unique visitors, ESPN is the 23rd largest U.S. digital property and the No. 1 sports-related property. ESPN has made a push into mobile during the past year. Between December 2011 and December 2012, mobile engagement based on unique visitors grew 59%, more than any other of the top 25 Web properties, except for Pandora Media (P). ESPN currently offers 13 different mobile applications, including SportsCenter Feed, to get up-to-the-minute "news, scores, video and audio," along with the company's Fantasy Football and Fantasy Baseball apps.
9. Craigslist
--0.7% of time online (tied for 7th)
--60 million desktop visitors
--mobile visitors, not applicable
Craigslist says it has more than 50 billion page views monthly. But while people tend to spend a hefty amount of time searching through apartment listings, job openings and personal ads on the site, Craigslist has yet to roll out a mobile application for either smartphones or tablets, leaving third-party Craigslist apps to fill the void. The company only recently released mobile-friendly features, such as a map view and an image-heavy grid view of its offerings.
8. Tumblr
--0.7% of time online (tied for 8th)
--desktop visitors, not available
--mobile visitors, not applicable
Tumblr is not among the 25 largest Web properties in the U.S., but those who go on the site spend a lot of time there. Consuming 5.7% of all time on social media, more time is spent on Tumblr than any other social media property, except Facebook. Lipsman of comScore noted that Tumblr really took off in the past year and continues to grow each month, particularly among those ages 25 and under. He noted that Tumblr's growth has been more organic, rather than through overt attempts by the company to increase engagement. Notably, the site has become popular for fashion and humor blogging.
7. eBay
--0.9% of time online
--77.7 million desktop visitors
--39.5 million mobile visitors
EBay (EBAY) has benefited from the large growth in online retailing. In the fourth quarter of 2012, revenue in the marketplace division -- the e-commerce segment of the company -- grew 16% compared with the same quarter the prior year. EBay also owns PayPal, an online payment processor. The service generated $1.5 billion in revenue during the fourth quarter of 2012, an increase of 24% compared to the prior year. PayPal processed roughly 700 million payments during the quarter and had 123 million users. Like most of the top digital properties, the use of eBay on mobile devices has grown rapidly. Between December 2011 and December 2012, mobile engagement based on unique visitors grew 23%. The company has been working to get more people to use its service on tablet devices. CEO John Donahoe has publicly said that people are more likely to purchase items on a smartphone or tablet than on a PC.
6. Amazon
--1% of time online
128.2 million desktop visitors
--80.5 million mobile visitors
Similar to eBay, Amazon.com (AMZN) has been a huge beneficiary of the increase in online shopping. During the most recent holiday season, sales conducted by a third-party on the web site were up 40% from the same time in 2011. Amazon also is directly challenging Hulu and Netflix (NFLX) with its Prime Instant Video service. The streaming service has added movies and TV programs to its portfolio in recent months. Amazon recently announced that shows from the E.W. Scripps (SSP) network of channels -- such as HGTV, Food Network and Travel Channel -- will soon be available through the service. Amazon has made significant inroads in mobile usage as well. More than 80 million people in the U.S. accessed an Amazon site through a mobile device in December 2012, higher than all Web properties except for Google, Facebook and Yahoo!
--2.5% of time online
--117.6 million desktop visitors
--62.4 million mobile visitors
AOL (AOL) has transformed itself from a company that was primarily providing dial-up Internet service into a media company. The company's most popular news web site is The Huffington Post, which it bought in 2011. The Huffington Post, like many news outlets, recently has devoted many of its resources to video programming. The company launched its news streaming service, HuffPost Live, in August 2012. The service was created with the intent to engage users. Features, such as the "join this segment," let viewers speak their mind via webcam.
4. Microsoft
--4.9% of time online
--170.9 million desktop visitors
--55.2 million mobile visitors
Microsoft's (MSFT) sites, including MSN, Hotmail and Bing, had more unique visitors in December 2012 than any other web property except for Google and Yahoo! Bing, the second-most popular search engine behind Google, has seen its share of search grow slightly, from 15.1% of all searches in December 2011 to 16.3% in 2012. Microsoft has made a major push into mobile with its new Windows Surface Tablet, which was released late in 2012.
3. Yahoo!
--7% of time online
--185.8 million desktop visitors
--92.2 million mobile visitors
Although Yahoo! (YHOO) has struggled in recent years because it has lost advertising market share to Facebook and Google, it is still the most popular portal on the Web. The company recently redesigned its web site to make it more personalized. The site includes a live news feed customized to visitors' interests and to what their friends share on social networks. The company has made significant strides in mobile as well.
2. Google
--10% of time online
--193.8 million desktop visitors
--113.7 million mobile visitors
Google (GOOG) owns YouTube, by far the most visited video site. In 2012, more than 188 billion videos were streamed on the web site, according to comScore. In comparison, only about 8.9 billion videos were streamed on Hulu, the second-most visited video property. Despite becoming a multidimensional company over the years, Google shows no signs of letting up on its original business of search. A whopping 66.7% of Internet searches were conducted through Google in December 2012, up from 65.9% during the same month of 2011.
1. Facebook.com
--10.8% of time online
--150.3 million desktop visitors
--97.7 million mobile visitors
More time is spent on Facebook (FB) than any other site. Of all time spent on social networking sites, 83% is spent on Facebook. The company has made significant inroads in mobile, with time on Facebook's smartphone applications making up 23% of all time on apps. However, Americans have shown they are willing to give up Facebook -- albeit only for a short time. According to a study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project, 61% of the site's active users have taken a multi-week break from the social network at some point. Furthermore, 27% of people surveyed said they planned to spend less time on Facebook in 2013, while only 3% intended to spend more time on the site.

The Reid Murdoch Building, designed in 1913-1914 by George C. Nimmons, was constructed as a food processing company and warehouse. The seven-story building, which sits on the Chicago River, has a three-story clock tower rising from the center of its base. The tower originally housed a water tower that supplied the sprinkler system. The concrete and steel frame of the building is covered with a massive brick facade. The upper floor spandrels, entrances and bays were accented by terra cotta decorations. Nimmons followed Daniel H. Burnham's Plan of Chicago of 1909. This city plan gave consideration to the development of the Chicago River front sites as aesthetic and commercial possibilities.
In 1926, one bay in the west end of the building was removed when LaSalle Street was widened. The city of Chicago purchased the building in 1955 to house traffic courts, the State Attorney's Office, and several city departments. Extensive interior remodeling has been carried out and new entrances, elevators, and escalators have been added while the terra cotta decorations have been removed.
The Reid Murdoch Building is located along the Chicago River at 325 N. LaSalle St. The building was recently renovated for office space, some of which are open to the public.

Jodie Foster made her "big coming out" at the Golden Globe Awards last night (13.01.13).
The 'Panic Room' actress has never publicly acknowledged she is a lesbian but as she accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award - which is given in recognition of outstanding achievement - she admitted her friends and family had known about her sexuality for "a thousand years".
However, she felt the time was right to confirm she is gay but joked it didn't mean she was about to subject people to a fly-on-the-wall account of her personal life - because she isn't interesting enough.
She said: "A big coming out speech tonight ... I already did my coming out about a thousand years ago, back in the stone age.
"In those very quaint days when a fragile young girl would open up to trusted friends, and family, co-workers and then gradually, proudly, to everyone who knew her.
"To everyone she actually met. But now, apparently I'm told, that every celebrity is expected to honour the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a prime time reality show ... I'm sorry, that's just not me and it never will be.
"But please support me because my reality show would be so boring. I would have to make out with Marion Cotillard, and spank Daniel Craig's bottom just to stay on the air."
The 50-year-old actress - who began her career when she was just three years old - admitted being in the public eye for so long was one of the reasons why she had never acknowledged her sexuality.
She added: "But seriously, if you had been a public figure since the time you were a toddler.
"If you had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal, then maybe then too you'd value privacy about all else.
"Someday in the future, people will look back and remember how beautiful it once was. I have given everything up there since the time that I was three years old and that's a reality show enough, don't you think."
She then went on to praise her former lover Cydney Bernard, with whom she raises children Charlie, 14, and 11-year-old Kit.
She said: "Love people and stay beside them. There is no way I could stand here tonight without acknowledging one of the greatest loves of my life.
"My ex-partner in love but righteous soul sister in life, my most beloved BFF (best friend) of 20 years, Cydney Bernard. I am so proud of our modern family."

Work Hard, Anything Is Possible!
23870 NW West Union Road Hillsboro, OR 97124-8545 503.844.1620
February 8, 2019 - Take a look inside the new Brookwood Elementary School! DLR Group, the architect for the project, has produced a virtual tour so you can get a preview of the school before construction begins (note that the actual finishes and fixtures may differ at construction time).
Construction is expected to begin in May 2019 and conclude in August 2020, with the new school opening for the 2020-21 school year. Students will continue attending the existing school through the end of the 2019-20 school year while the new building is being constructed (the construction site will be fenced off from public access). Once school is out, the existing school will be demolished to make way for the remaining construction of the parent/bus dropoff areas and play fields in summer 2020.
A groundbreaking ceremony is being planned for the end of April 2019. We also expect to hold a farewell ceremony before the existing school's demolition in June 2020.
The new Brookwood design will serve as the template for future new schools in North Plains (opening Sept. 2021) and South Hillsboro (Sept. 2022), with site-based modifications as needed. A special benefit of these projects is that the gymnasium -- as with all new gyms being built under the bond -- will meet "immediate occupancy" seismic requirements and be available as a community shelter after a major earthquake.
Project updates will be regularly posted to hillsboro-bond.org -- check back often to see how construction is progressing with Brookwood and all the other buildings undergoing renovations through the bond.

From Vogue to the LA Times, the representation of Peter Zumthor's Therme Vals baths in print is an exercise in architectural canonisation
More from: Peter Zumthor wins Royal Gold Medal
Dutch architect Carel Weeber once said that buildings don't become architecture until they're published. Peter Zumthor's Therme Vals baths in Switzerland is, by all accounts, a marvellous building, but its widespread mediation in the press validates its position in the architectural canon.
The July 1997 issue of Vogue contains a 10-page swimwear feature called 'Body Building'. Each page consists of a single photograph showing a model inside Therme Vals. Sometimes she dominates the shot so you can't see beyond her curves. Sometimes she's composed against the building's hard lines. 'Gone are the days when sporty meant dowdy,' comments the sparse text. 'Ralph Lauren's sleek racer-back swimsuit mixes functionalism with femininity.' Our model wears Manolo Blahnik high heels.
Susan Spano's piece for the LA Times' travel section of 14 September 2008 takes the more human angle. Her photographs of Therme Vals are painfully amateurish. 'I tried to photograph the spa,' she admits, 'but it eluded me.' However, her description evokes in her readers a false memory of the place. 'What I'll remember most keenly [is] how I sat that morning in the outdoor pool while it rained on my head and thunder cracked,' she writes.
In the August 1997 edition of Italian architecture magazine Casabella, Zumthor discusses phenomenologies, like 'the body's contact with water at different temperatures' and 'touching stone'. But Casabella's photographs of Therme Vals are cold, hard and devoid of people. In one shot, wet footprints are set against the baths' abstract geometry of light and gneiss stone, but this is the closest we come to human contact. This contrasts with Spano's description of 'kissing couples, gossiping women and frolicking kids'.
Raymund Ryan, in the Architectural Review of August 1997 is more architectonic in his descriptions. Zumthor's building is 'a buried, almost labyrinthine world of solid and void'. The baths are connected to the existing hotel by an underground passage. Spano excuses this pragmatically – 'so hotel guests can wear robes to the spa' – whereas Ryan opines that the 'subterranean nature of this connection is crucial as it dislocates the individual from the world outside.'
As Zumthor writes in Casabella, he designed a spa that deliberately challenges the usual tourist experience of the 'latest aquagadgetry, water jetz (sic), nozzles, or chutes', focusing instead on 'the silent, primary experience of bathing'. Domus' November 1997 edition criticises this approach, dubbing it 'Saintly Architecture'. 'The facts of utilization and marketing… show clearly that this architectural concept too can be devastated by consumerism.'
Yet media coverage – including the article you are reading now – sanctifies Zumthor's building, transforming it into a canonised commodity. Architectural photographs have Miesian characteristics, more symmetrical about the horizontal than the vertical axis.

Fabric: Polartec PowerDry found at fashion fabrics club
Pattern: Burda 12/1997 – modified from a Dress, kept the top part, removed the darts added the zipper.
Photo taken on anniversary trip to Zion National Park.
A sewing, knitting, felting and crochet blog by Mirela Popovici
to come…
I just realized I can sew a lot more if you cut the same colored fabric out at a time, thread your machine, pin all the darts and seams that will be sewn first and just start sewing.
Following this theory of mine there was a lot of green on my desk these past two weeks.
In the meantime we are planning a crazy backpacking camping trip to Europe. Me and my husband will start in Amsterdam, visiting the city and the surroundings, maybe even catch a train to Brussels for a gofre if we get the munchies one day. We plan on spending a few days hiking in the Alps, in Grindelwald a small tourist village close to Interlaken. Then we will be off to Salzburg, again in the mountains somewhere, to see the glacier, lakes and villages. We will be traveling by train, we have the opportunity of buying Interrail passes, since we are Romanian citizens and I know we will be missing out on so many things throught Europe and these 2 weeks will simply scratch the surface….but there will be 3 different countries, some city strolling and mountain hiking, a lot of photographs.
From Salzburg we will catch the train to Budapest, meet with my parents in law, drive to Valea Draganului, Romania, spend 3 days at the cabin.
5 days will be left for our home town of Cluj Napoca, Romania.
Why am I writing all this on a sewing blog? Just wondering what clothes to wear in fashionable Europe, while keeping my pack really light and having clothes for the mountain side and anythiung the weather will throw at me.
We will be doing a lot of walking through the cities, camping at high altitudes in the mountains so we need to be ready for anything.
Long sleeve tops in lightweight cotton would offer some protection from the sun. Like the tunic or the raglan tops with gathering around the neckline. These can be layered over a camisole, and taken off it is really too hot.
Shorts are cool for summer, but I think knee length pants are more stylish and are more practical for bike riding, etc. Lightweight jeans that convert into cropped version are also versatile. I wonder how these will look like with those hiking sandals… Linen feels great but it will be very wrinkly so I don't think I'm going to pack that…I'm also thinking of packing some silk tops because they are so lightweight and dry easily, but those would be for wearing through Cluj where there won't be a backpack on me…
Cotton is great and I love it, but for dry weather. It has no moisture wicking properties, on the contrary, it is very absorbent, so all the sweat from a day of walking/hiking will be stuck in the fabric, transforming it into wet sandpaper that irritates the skin.
So then I was looking online at those lightweight synthetic button down shirts, with UV protection that are perfect for hot wet weather. They wick moisture away and dry quickly. Essential if I'm going to pack light and wash my clothes often. A shirt I think will be always classic no matter what, so it will do for a walk throught any city and it will protect me from the sun and heat so I won't have to wear that sticky sun screen lotion. Shirts like that from Columbia run around 30-50$ each and I think they look great for men, but they don't really have a more feminine cut for us girls.
Another essential item I think would be a softshell breathable, waterproof or at least water repellent, moisture wicking jacket. This is great to have with you on the trail, at high altitudes where weather can play tricks with you and seasons can change by the hour. It will keep you insulated and dry. These can run up to over 200$ depending on what the label sais.
The downside with the synthetics is that they can become smelly after wearing for long hours.
You hear all these buzz words that add a lot of $$$ to prices, like SPF, water repellent, moisture wicking, breathable fabric, etc… I googled them and ended up finind this little online store called rocky woods: http://www.rockywoods.com
They stock up all the fabrics I mentioned and are specialized in outdoor fabric. I'm not crazy about the pictures, because they do not portrait the fabrics, it is just boxes of color, so I'm not sure what to expect.
I just ordered today, all these for about 100$:
I'm sure this makes no sense and I can't seem to see all these in a collection, but I do need to think about pieces that go together, can be layerd, are practical and easy to care for, lightweight, do not wrinkle….
In the end, I'm pretty sure I'll end up wearing the hiking clothes through the cities as well and look like the American tourist…
Locations to visit around Salzburg, not sure how we could get to all these places, we will probably need to choose:

Well, you still see this in HS. I haven't had it this year, but last year or the year before we had a team down 5 men: a goalie and one defender in the defensive end, plus 3 attackmen.
Well in Missouri high schools play by NCAA rules, so I guess by saying people will never see it for a long time I was referring to in my neck of the woods! But you are correct, if I venture to the surrounding states I may see this take place, but I sure hope not!!!

Special Announcement from Hasbro, Inc at GIJoeCon:
We are excited to continue and wanted to say thank you for all the support!
Glad to see this! Now you are back to the home base when is the rest of FSS 4.0 shipping, and when will the Homefront Heroes hit the mail for those of us that do not/or cannot go to the Cons?
This is fantastic. More greatness to come from fun pun.
I'm happy the partnership between the Club and GIJoeCon will continue with Hasbro. It was very well received at the convention.
That's great news!
Bring the convention to Miami.
So, do we need to resign up or will the auto renewal still work?
Congratulations for those 2 more years.
I hope that for the years to come, you will be more communicative with all of us the club membres. You take too much time in answering member questions, telling news or the status of what is going at the Club. This is one of your big problems and it's relativelly easy to solve it and make all people happy.
One example can be this one. All members known this parthnership renewal until 2018 since the end of Hasbro Panel. It has been posted in different GI Joe forums the same june 18, and you have take 5 days to communicate it officially on the club website. I think this new is more important than putting the joecon photos on the web for example, or perchaps you have signed the new contract this week and that's why you have delayed the notiffication.
You, the Club, have a new opportunity, but you don't begin very well again ....

Computer and entertainment companies have announced a plan to standardise video and music files so that they play on any device. The ambitious plan has not been backed by the dominant force in digital downloads, Apple.
Through its iTunes software and online shop, Apple is the largest distributor of legal music online, and is responsible for more than 70 per cent of downloads. It has not agreed to be part of the consortium, called the Digital Entertainment Content Ecosystem (DECE).
"To open up the market for digital distribution, we are developing a specification that connects a wide variety of services and devices," said Mitch Singer, the consortium's president. "DECE is taking the lessons learned from the successful 'buy once, play anywhere' experience that we enjoy with CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray today, and using a similar approach in developing the next generation digital media experience."
The group's members include Microsoft, Sony, Toshiba, Warner Brothers and NBC Universal as well as computer equipment makers Cisco, HP and Intel.
It said that it will publish a specification in the future which the makers or distributors of music or video can use to ensure their material will be playable on machines built to that specification. It will create a logo which devices and services that are built according to that specification will display.
While file formats such as MP3 and MP4 themselves have become industry standards that are usable by almost all services and devices, digital rights management (DRM) systems have not been standardised.
It is Apple's DRM system which ties some material acquired through iTunes to devices that it manufactures. If it stays outside of DECE then iTunes material is likely to remain incompatible with players subscribing to the DECE specification.
Singer told the Financial Times newspaper that he did not believe that Apple's absence will damage the proposed standard.
"I'm not sure that the absence of Apple is a negative to what we're trying to achieve," he said. "Apple is a very good ecosystem that will continue to sell content. What we're focusing on is a different type of consumer that really wants more choice."

While the presidential campaign remains the main event of the 2012 election season, a fierce, state-by-state battle is also underway to determine which party will control the U.S. Senate for the next two years. And a series of NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls shows Democrats with an edge in two of the most closely-watched races and tied in a third.
In Ohio and Florida, the Democratic candidate holds a solid lead, while in Virginia – where former governor and onetime DNC chairman Tim Kaine faces former Republican Sen. George Allen in a marquee battle – the candidates are in a dead heat.
Republicans had entered the 2012 cycle with high hopes of winning all three races. All are seats currently held by Democrats, and winning any of them would advance the GOP toward the net gain of four seats they need to take back control of the Senate come January.
In Virginia, Kaine and Allen are deadlocked at 46 percent apiece with likely voters.
In Ohio, incumbent Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown leads Republican State Treasurer Josh Mandel 49 percent to 42 percent.
And in Florida, two-term Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson, leads GOP Rep. Connie Mack 51 percent to 37 percent. Twelve percent of Florida voters said they were undecided about the race.
With only 54 days until the election, these three polls suggest that Republicans still have work to do if they wish to achieve their goal of retaking control of the Senate. Democrats must defend 23 of the 33 Senate seats on the ballot this fall, a numerical disadvantage that buoyed GOP hopes of reaching their goal early in the cycle, especially since many of the Democratic-held seats are also in hotly contested presidential battlegrounds.
President Barack Obama leads Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney in Virginia, Ohio and Florida, according to the same NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist polls released Thursday.
Each of the Marist polls was conducted Sept. 9-11. Each poll has a 3.1 percent margin of error for its sample of likely voters.

Audi TT Coupe (2014-2018)
Models Covered:
2dr Coupe (2.0 TDI / 2.0 TFSI petrol / 2.5 TFSI) [Sport, S line, TTS, TT RS])
By Jonathan Crouch
* Introduction
The third generation Audi TT Coupe looks little changed from its predecessors. Don't be deceived. It's a very different thing to drive, to own and to live with. Which is important. The TT is fundamental to many people's perception of what this brand really stands for. It has to be right. It has to be vorsprung durch technic. But does it make sense as a used buy? Let's find out.
* The History
The original MK1 Audi TT was launched back in 1998 when it really was the thing to be seen in if you wanted a small, sporty coupe or roadster. Style personified, it broke the mould and defined its brand – a concept car you could actually buy. And from a conservative mainstream maker like Audi too! It was hard to believe. Only when you got behind the wheel of the thing did doubts begin to formulate, the drive on offer far less compelling than the pretty bodywork. A Golf GTI in drag? Some cynics thought so.
Stung by their comments, Audi tried again in 2006 with a second generation model that was lighter and steered more sweetly. Still though, something was missing. It was sporting to be sure, but a 'sports car'? People like us still hesitated to call it that. In late 2014 though, Audi said we were to hesitate no longer, then bringing us this MK3 version, the car that perhaps the TT should always have been. More than merely a glorified design study: instead, a properly engineered driver's machine.
With respectfully updated design and boundary-stretching technology, it referenced its predecessors but dispensed with their conservative approach to driving dynamics. It was lighter, leaner, faster and sharper through the bends, plus the brand offered even more responsive quattro technology. In short, we were promised a car in which, for once, the looks wouldn't lie. It sold until late 2018, when a facelift version was announced. Here, we're looking at pre-facelift 2014-2018 Coupe variants as a used car buy.
* What You Get
Looks can lie. They did in the first generation version of this car, which promised excitement when on the driveway, but couldn't really deliver it on the road. With this MK3 version, there's again design mixed with deceit, whether you opt for your TT in Coupe or Roadster form. Both models do, after all, intentionally underplay the visual evolution that created this third generation design. Take the fixed-top Coupe model, which could, at first glance, easily be dismissed as nothing more than a gym-toned version of its rather ordinary MK2 predecessor. Many familiar TT styling cues are present and correct to play their part in this illusion: the rounded wheelarches, the curved windscreen pillars, the bold shoulder line and the sloping rear tailgate. As a result, you feel like you know this car before you even take a step towards it.
It's the up-front experience that'll really sell people this car, thanks to a clean-sheet design that really is different, classy and forward-thinking. How? Well once you're inside, look around you. What's missing? The wing-shaped dash is familiar enough, but in its centre, the usual infotainment system screen and ventilation control panel are both missing, allowing for a sleek minimalist design that really sets this cabin apart. Ventilation controls have been relocated to the jet turbine-style air vents and these can also house small digital displays which show the chosen setting. All the functions you'd normally find on a big tablet-style central display meanwhile, sit in what is possibly the most unique feature you'll find in this car: the 'Audi Virtual Cockpit'.
This is a smartly presented 12.3-inch high resolution display that completely replaces the usual set of conventional dials and is viewed through the three aluminium-look-trimmed spokes of the redesigned flat-bottomed leather-stitched sports steering wheel. You'd think the digital screen would be somewhat over-burdened, having to take care of sat nav, audio and connectivity features as well as the usual driving dials. Not a bit of it. That's thanks to the pair of viewing options Audi offers here.
Lift the tailgate and you'll find an unexpectedly large cargo area, something that's long been a selling point for TT owners. It's 305-litres in size with the rear seats up, certainly big enough for three or four large bags. If you need more room, then flattening the 50:50 split-folding rear backrest frees up a lot more of it. You might actually be folding the rear seats forward rather a lot because they remain as tiny as they've always been in a TT.
* What To Look For
Most owners in our survey seemed happy. There are generally no issues with engines or bodywork but if you find a heavily used car, you might find that that the front wishbones and anti-roll bars could need replacing at around the 60,000-mile mark. The DSG automatic gearbox should be checked to make sure it's had a regular oil and filter change, as should the Quattro four-wheel-drive system.
* On The Road
First signs that there's something different on offer here come the moment you take your seat behind the flat-bottomed wheel in the minimalist cockpit. First impressions are positive. This MK3 model has so much more spark than its predecessor. Don't get us wrong – it's still no Porsche Cayman: but then we're not sure that too many typical TT buyers will mind that very much. What they'll notice though, is that it feels sharper, more eager and more satisfying than the previous generation model – just as the Ingolstadt engineers intended that it should.
The optional 'magnetic ride' set-up comes as standard on the TT variant that was fastest of all at launch, the 310PS TTS model. As does quattro 4WD to get the 2.0 TFSI turbo engine's power to the tarmac. The same engine in a slightly less manic state of tune is used in the variant that accounted for the majority of TT sales here, the 230PS 2.0 TFSI variant, though a lesser 1.8 TFSI unit was introduced to slot below it. With the standard 2.0 TFSI model, quattro 4WD is an option – and one that makes quite a difference to your acceleration times, even in the dry. Get a TT fitted with it and the rest to 62mph improves from around 6.0s to just 5.3s – that's nearly half a second quicker than a much more powerful rival BMW Z4 sDrive 28i from this era. There's no Z4 from this period though, that competes with the 2.0 TDI ultra diesel TT model. At the performance end of the petrol range, beyond that quattro TTS model, Audi offered a 2.5-litre five cylinder TT RS variant with 400PS, also with quattro 4WD and featuring mandatory S tronic transmission.
* Overall
Whatever draws you to this car, the experience it offers is a satisfying one. Surprising even, if you're not used to the idea of a TT being more than a fashion statement. Audi, you see, at last got this car right. And made it properly vorsprung durch technic.

JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Authorities raided municipal offices in Jerusalem on Monday as part of a fraud investigation involving Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, police said.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's rivals have called for his resignation amid allegations he accepted bribes.
Investigators did not disclose the substance of documents that were seized in the raid, which occurred the same day that police questioned American businessman Morris Talansky about contributions he made to Olmert's campaigns, according to the Israeli daily, Haaretz.
Police are investigating whether Olmert illegally accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars from Talansky while he was mayor of Jerusalem and the nation's Minister of Industry Trade and Labor.
Olmert, who was questioned briefly in the probe on Friday, has publicly denied taking any bribes. In remarks to reporters last week, he said he would resign if he is indicted. Watch Olmert assert his innocence »
Olmert told reporters that Talansky donated money to his campaign and helped him raise funds, a claim that Talansky supported in an interview on Israel's Channel 10.
Like Olmert, Talansky denied the bribery allegations. As of Monday, neither had been charged with a crime.
"I never thought in any way that the money that I gave him ... was in any way illegal or wrong," Talansky told Israel's Channel 10. "He was not the only one that came to America to ask for money for their election campaign. And so I thought it was legal." Watch Talansky deny bribe allegations »
During the interview, Talansky denied having any financial interests in Israel except for an apartment in the country.
Last week, authorities indicated that they wished to speak with Talansky as soon as possible.
"One of the central witnesses in this case is a foreign resident and a citizen who came to Israel for a visit over the Passover holidays and his testimony was taken during this time," authorities said Thursday. "The witness involved was brought in for questioning after his alleged involvement in transferring the money."
Shula Zaken, Olmert's right-hand woman for 30 years, was suspended last year as head of the prime minister's office amid allegations that she appointed cronies to Israel's Tax Authority. The prosecution is expected to decide soon whether to file charges against her, according to the Israel daily newspaper Haaretz.
Zaken has refused to cooperate in the current investigation into Olmert, and has been placed under house arrest, the newspaper reported.
According to Haaretz, this is the fifth investigation into Olmert since he became prime minister two years ago, calling it "the latest in a longer string of probes to dog him during his three decades in politics."
The newspaper says that Olmert has never been convicted of wrongdoing.
He is still under investigation for the purchase of a house in an upscale Jerusalem neighborhood that he allegedly bought while he was Jerusalem's mayor for below-market value in return for favors.
Israeli officials also are investigating an alleged $10 million business deal that he participated in while he was labor minister that involved his former business partner.
A yearlong investigation into Olmert's role in the privatization of Israel's second-largest bank wrapped up in November with no charges filed against the prime minister.
Olmert supporters maintain the investigations are a political move by opponents who want him out of office.
Olmert has been dogged by dismal approval ratings since Israel's 2006 war with Hezbollah militants in Lebanon, which some analysts say failed to weaken the group either militarily or politically.
He is also under intense pressure from the United States, a key Israeli ally, to forge a peace agreement with Palestinians by the end of the year. A weekend visit by U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was largely overshadowed by media reports of the current investigation.
News of the raids came one day before President Bush was set to arrive in Israel to celebrate the Jewish state's 60th anniversary.

Have you all enjoyed the Waltzingmouse SOAP parades this week? I just got home from a camping trip, so I haven't seen what the other gals have shared, but knowing this fabulous team, they've been fabulously inspirational.
For the final day, we're showcasing a previously released set called Afternoon Tea. I've loved this charming set since the first time I laid eyes on it, and thoroughly enjoyed designing a card around it. I knew I wanted to paper piece the two teacups, and chose my dp accordingly. I had this fun new die frame (Ornate #3) from Sizzix and thought it would be fun to frame the cups and used a Fancy Tag as a base for the sentiment. I also added some Ice White Viva Decor Pearl Pen pearls around the frame, as well as some I-Rock rhinestones.
I also made this card for the Dare To Get Dirty handmade flower challenge hosted by the sweet Teresa Kline over on Splitcoast Stampers, and thought the flower would fit beautifully at the top of this frame. I made it with 3 of the smallest Blossom 1 dies (Spellbinders), and added a Sultan gem by Prima to the center.
All the dp is from Webster's Pages, and I used some Foliage diecut leaves (Spellbinders), as well as some crystal leaves and lace that I purchased from Wild Orchid Crafts.
eta: This card is rather large... 5"x 9" in fact. With the handmade flower it would be hard to mail, so this will have a be hand delivered.
We hope that you have enjoyed, and have been inspired, the past few days from our Stamp of Approval Parade; highlighting last month's sets and our beloved Afternoon Tea set. Now it's time for you to get your craftiness on as we invite you to participate in a CASE (Copy and Share Everything) competition.
Find a card or project from any of the projects posted over the past few days by the WMS Design Team, CASE that project using Waltzingmouse Stamp images, and link it using the Inlinkz on Claire's blog found HERE. At the end of the competition, one project will be randomly selected to be highlighted with a Parade of its own on several of the Design Team blogs.
We hope you will enjoy this competition and that it will inspire you be creative. You have one week to complete and link your project as the competition will close at 8:00 AM, on Claire's time, August 10th, which is 3 AM Eastern, 2 AM Central and Midnight, Pacific time. The winner will be announced on Claire's blog on August 11th.

The Eagles Tour
Shortcuts: Frequently Asked Questions | The Eagles News | Concert Reviews | Tour Archive
The Eagles 2018 An Evening with The Eagles Tour Opening Bands: To Be Determined
Narrow Events by City
Frequently Asked Questions
The Eagles are one of the biggest bands of all time, still holding the record of the highest number of sales for an album in the US. Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) moved an astounding 42 million records.
The Eagles have continued to tour through the years with a line-up that has remained relatively intact. Their most recent 2014 History of the Eagles tour has the band hitting many far reaching countries including the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands, and the states.
What songs will The Eagles play in concert?
The Eagles remain one of the few bands whose material is captured in a time capsule of the 70s. The group stopped producing material on a steady basis in 1979, with their appropriately titled swan song, The Long Run. This closed their prime debuting with one of the most important rock albums in history, their self-titled debut.
The band reconvened to record Long Road Out of Eden in 2007. The band does not go back to the well much with that album on the current tour.
The current setlist relies heavily on their masterpiece, Hotel California. Of course, no Eagles show is complete without an extended performance of the title track from that glorious rock and roll classic. Aside from that album, which always includes live showings of "New Kid in Town" and "Life in the Fast Lane," the band's live act is notoriously spread out across the rest of their studio material. Choice cuts from The Long Run riles the crowd up, and their sophomore classic album Desperado is always well represented, with staples such as the silly "Tequila Sunrise" and "Doolin-Daltin." Desperado is widely considered their most country-oriented effort, and the band only refined a country rock sound as they evolved. Seeing this play out over the course of a live show is an enthralling experience to take in.
The setlist below covers the majority of the tracks they play each night on the History of the Eagles Tour. This doesn't include a short assortment of tunes they rotate out, such as "Heartache Tonight" which seems like a new addition to their most recent shows.

Should I expect The Eagles to perform any new songs?
The Eagles have largely been absent from the studio since 2007's country/pop release, Long Road Out of Eden. New songs have been nearly non-existent, and they aren't expected to magically appear anytime soon. Their 2014 tour run is designed to promote their new History of the Eagles documentary. This has subsequently led the group to abandon nearly every song from their 2007 release, and focus almost exclusively on their 70's body of work.
What does the current band line-up look like?
Though the Eagles line-up has been mostly stable in the last 40 years, the group has a faced a few shakeups. The latest incarnation includes:
Don Henley
Glenn Frey
Joe Walsh
Timothy Schmit
This lineup was in place spanning 1975 to their breakup in 1980. This is also the same line-up that released the 2007 effort and recording revival. Interestingly, Walsh and Schmit were not present with the group during the recording of their most acclaimed material, notably the self-titled work and Desperado.
For such a generational band, what should I expect with the crowd?
Being nursed from the bosom the 70's, the band has a strong middle-aged following. But that is not to say that younger generations are absent from their concerts. The 2007 release of Long Road Out of Eden positioned them in the eyes of a whole younger generation, reaching 7x platinum with sales in excess of seven million.
Fathers are happy to expose their children to their favorite bands from when they were younger, and the Eagles have this universal attitude followed by big hooks that makes them a megagroup that withstands the test of time.
How long is a typical Eagles concert?
Through six world-renowned records, 25 songs, and extended jam sessions including the whole group together as well as solo mini-sets for each member, a concert with the Eagles easily spans three hours. Most of the sets the band puts together exceed two and a half. Two encores later, and the band finally calls it a night closing with the double whammy, "Rocky Mountain Way" and the famous country crooner, "Desperado."
The band also slices their set in half with roughly a ten minute intermission. This division will often mark the first couple records against the last few, splitting up their traditional country rock sound with their bombastic 70's rock aesthetic.
Who is the Eagles current publicist?
The group has worked with Front Line Management since their reunion in 1994. The company has evolved into Azoff Music Entertainment, a subsidiary of the larger entity, TicketMaster.
The team working with the Eagles include Nina Avramides, Pam Byers, Shirley Klein, as well as six others. They can be contacted by calling 310-209-3100.
How can I get presale tickets for the Eagles tour?
Because of their close association with TicketMaster, tickets are almost exclusively available through the large ticket retailer. Furthermore, the company provides insightful presale options as associated through a relationship with American Express. American Express owners can get tickets weeks before a show's public onsale, but they are limited in nature. There are also LiveNation and venue presales that fans can take advantage of. Sign up for your local arena's mailing list for more information on venue presale opportunities.
Concert Reviews
"The Eagles reopened the refurbished Forum Wednesday night with a concert that emphasized the care and precision that went into their records in the 1970s, a perfect night of nostalgia for fans who care to remember the Forum when Jerry West was the Lakers star and "One of These Nights" was a hit on FM radio." Phil Gallo of Billboard
"A capacity crowd of mostly middle-aged fans cheered, clapped and sang along to the tunes that propelled the band to stardom in the 1970s and defined the laid-back California sound of the era — a blend of country, folk, rock and blues." Gene Stout of The Seattle Times
"While the legendary band's sphere of musical influence helped define classic rock and has seeped into country and Americana, the format of their current tour is a reminder that the bulk of their collective brilliance was confined to just a sliver of time." – Donnie Moorhouse of Mass Live

SAN DIEGO–The Padres and Tucson Padres have announced a new manager with strong Arizona ties. Pat Murphy, who for 15 seasons was the Arizona State University baseball coach, is the new manager of the Tucson Padres. Murphy managed the Padres Short-Season affiliate in Eugene, Oregon each of the past two seasons, posting the Northwest League's best overall record in both 2011 and 2012.
Before joining the Padres organization as a Special Assistant to Baseball Operations in 2010, Murphy was one of the most successful coaches in College Baseball. He was one of only three coaches in NCAA Division 1 history to reach 1,000 career wins before age 50. The Sun Devils finished with a Top 5 national ranking in three of his last five seasons and had 47 consecutive Top 10 rankings from 2007-2009. Murphy worked with many Major Leaguers when they were collegiate players, such as Dustin Pedroia, Andre Ethier and Ike Davis.
Murphy also had tremendous success as the baseball coach at Notre Dame from 1988-1994, leading the Fighting Irish to the regional finals in three consecutive seasons. Notre Dame gave Murphy an honorary monogram in 2011 and named their clubhouse and locker room facility the "Coach Pat Murphy Clubhouse." As a player, Murphy pitched for four seasons professionally, including one year with the Padres organization at High-A Salem in 1983.
"Tucson is a great city and I've always enjoyed going there," said Murphy. "I am excited for next season and the challenge of managing in Triple-A."
University of Arizona's College World Series winning coach Andy Lopez is excited to have his friend Murphy in town. "I have coached against Pat many times and his teams always play hard. His teams always take his competitive personality and I'm sure next year will be no different," said Lopez.
The San Diego Padres and Tucson Padres have also announced the hitting coach and pitching coach for the 2013 season. Former Major League pitcher Bronswell Patrick is the new pitching coach. Tom Tornincasa joins the staff as hitting coach for his 14th season in the Padres organization.
Patrick pitched for the Tucson Toros in 1995 and 1996 as an Astros minor leaguer. He pitched 16 seasons professionally, including two years in the Major Leagues. Patrick made his Major League debut with the Milwaukee Brewers in 1998 and pitched for the San Francisco Giants in 1999. Last season, Patrick led the High-A Lake Elsinore Storm pitching staff to the best ERA in the California League (4.31).
Tornincasa is making his Triple-A coaching debut after 13 seasons in the Padres organization. He spent the last two seasons with Double-A San Antonio, where the Missions won the Texas League championship in 2011. Also in 2011, Tornincasa was the recipient of the Jack Krol Award for contributions to Padres player development. In 2009, he was the hitting coach for the Midwest League champion Fort Wayne TinCaps.
The Tucson Padres first home game is Thursday, April 12 against the Fresno Grizzlies.

When President Bush vetoed legislation Saturday that would have prohibited the CIA from using physical force in interrogations, he had the support of Sen. John McCain - the most outspoken of any presidential candidate in his opposition to torture.The Arizona Republican has described his own torture by the North Vietnamese, who captured him in 1967 after his plane was shot down on a bombing run. He spoke out against the near-drowning technique called waterboarding when it was being defended by other Republican candidates and by Vice President Dick Cheney.
And McCain won the signature of a reluctant Bush on 2005 legislation that prohibited military interrogators from using waterboarding and other "cruel, inhumane or degrading" methods.
On Saturday, however, McCain backed Bush's veto of a bill that would have barred the CIA from employing those same techniques - or any others not authorized by the Army Field Manual - when questioning prisoners.
In a Saturday morning radio address announcing the veto, Bush said the measure would have barred "safe and lawful" interrogation methods that have prevented terrorist attacks.
"This is no time for Congress to abandon practices that have a proven track record of keeping America safe," the president said.
He did not specify those practices, but repeated previous statements that the CIA no longer uses waterboarding.
In congressional testimony last month, however, Justice Department official Stephen Bradbury indicated the administration does not consider waterboarding illegal in all circumstances and reserved the right to resume its use by the CIA.
Campaign aides said Saturday that McCain believes waterboarding violates both U.S. and international law and is forbidden to all federal agencies. Randy Scheunemann, foreign policy director for McCain's campaign, denied any inconsistency between the senator's record and his position on the bill.
"It's not about waterboarding and it's not about torture," Scheunemann said.
He said McCain opposed the bill for the same reason he exempted the CIA from his 2005 legislation: his belief that the agency should not be limited to methods spelled out in a public Army manual.
McCain feels "it's a good thing that (the CIA can use) enhanced interrogation techniques that are not revealed in your newspaper," Scheunemann said. He declined to identify methods that McCain believes should remain available to the CIA while being off-limits to military interrogators.
The Army Field Manual prohibits the use of force during interrogation. Among the techniques it forbids, in addition to waterboarding, are beatings, burns and electric shock; use of extreme heat; use of dogs; mock executions; forced nudity or sexual acts; hooding or taping a prisoner's eyes; prolonged sleep deprivation; and denial of needed food, water or medical care.
Democratic backers of the vetoed bill are far short of the two-thirds majority needed to override Bush's veto.

"This president had the chance to end the torture debate for good," said Democratic California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a sponsor of the legislation. "Yet he chose instead to leave the door open to use torture in the future."
When the Senate passed the measure by a 51-45 vote on Feb. 13, McCain insisted that his opposition did not signal a retreat from his position on torture.
His 2005 legislation restricting military interrogation methods exempted the CIA but was not intended to "permit the CIA to use unduly coercive techniques," McCain said in a Senate floor statement.
He said the Bush administration should acknowledge "what is clear in current law," that waterboarding is illegal and that any U.S. interrogator who uses it risks criminal prosecution. But McCain did not specify any other techniques that should be allowed or prohibited, or explain why Congress should not set uniform standards.
Human-rights lawyers who praised McCain for his stand against torture said they were disappointed by his position on the bill and bewildered by his explanation.
"I remain convinced that he is personally opposed to these techniques," said New York attorney Scott Horton, a former president of the International League for Human Rights. But as long as the Bush administration is free to apply its view of the law, he said, the veto McCain supported will allow the CIA to use interrogation methods the senator opposes.
"I think Sen. McCain's faith that the administration will implement the law in the manner he describes is seriously misplaced," said James Cullen, a New York lawyer, retired brigadier general and former chief judge of the Army Court of Criminal Appeals.
Both of McCain's potential Democratic rivals, Sens. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama, were absent from the vote but have said they support the vetoed bill. Neither has made it a campaign issue, however, and neither commented on Bush's veto.
Democratic National Chairman Howard Dean used the occasion to take a swipe at McCain.
"It is shameful that George Bush and John McCain lack the courage to ban torture," Dean said in a statement. "And it is reprehensible that McCain changed his position on torture just to win an election."

Have some questions about the Morenci school bond proposal?
Bring them to the informational meeting planned at 7 p.m. Thursday in the middle school library.
The "Vote Yes" bond committee and superintendent of schools Kyle Griffith will attend the meeting to answer questions about the proposal that will appear on the May 6 school election ballot. Committee members are Adam Johnson, Penny Baumgartner, Joe Farquhar and Carrie Dillon.
If taxpayers approve the request, the existing middle school millage rate will hold steady at 7.0 mills for the next five years. If the issue fails, the millage rate will start to decline due to refinancing of the bond.
By maintaining the current rate, the school board will undertake $1.4 million of maintenance projects at the high school and elementary school. Without that money, the maintenance needs will have to be paid from the general fund. However, those funds are short and the school board has had to approve deficit budgets in recent years due to state financial conditions.
Board president Dwight Mansfield thinks the bond proposal is the least painful way of covering the cost of the work.
If approved, the bond would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $20 in the first year and an average of $40 a year over the five-year period.
