Blasting up the Mario Andretti Straightaway at more than 220 kilometres an hour, pinned back in the seat by the ferocious nature of 500-plus horsepower fully unleashed, should not be the only reason to invest in an AMG Driving Academy class, but it is the most visceral.
However, along with this opportunity come consequences - every driving mistake and bad habit are not only exposed they are scrutinized in detail. Still, the opportunity for those of varying talent to drive high-performance cars at high speed in a controlled environment suitable for their prodigious levels of horsepower supersedes the potential for humiliation.
Besides, under the careful guidance of the Academy's instructors, it's impossible not to step up your game. They will help you improve braking and cornering techniques, car dynamics and managing balance and traction, making you a better, faster and safer driver. And, to get here, you will have to have completed the Mastering Performance Program (or the AMG 1 course offered in Germany).
According to the brochure, the objectives of the AMG program are to "take experienced drivers and improve their high-performance driving techniques and challenge them further with consistent practice, focused coaching and modern technologies that affect driving dynamics." That's a slightly dry synopsis for what turns out to be minimal classroom time but plenty of seat and time, with access to a fleet of Mercedes' go-fast AMG cars - namely the SLS, SL 63, SLK 55, C 63 and E 63 variants. Said fleet of 12 AMGs is available to a maximum of 12 participants, ensuring many track laps - at either Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (formerly Mosport) or Circuit Mont-Tremblant - and one-on-one instruction from any of the six instructors, each of whom has the patience of Job and the expertise to raise the level of one's formerly mediocre abilities.
(And, yes, in case it isn't obvious, when I say "one's," I mean "my").
The Canadian Tire track is a very technical, undulating, four-kilometre-long race track with large elevation changes and a number of fast, blind corners. To neophytes, it can be terrifying; even to experienced hot shoes, it is formidable - especially Turn Two, a blind downhill double-apex corner.
But chief instructor Danny Kok and his crew - Jerry Kok, Melanie Paterson, Mark Antoniuk, Patrick Ah-Yu and Alistair Ferguson - break down Turn Two, and the rest of Mosport's 10 corners, into manageable bites, and, with orange cones placed at the appropriate turn-in points and apexes, the intimidation factor is lessened as practice laps unfold.
To the point of improving driving technique, two C 63 AMG sedans are fitted with data recorders, which collect information such as braking, throttle and steering traces and overlay them in a track map as well as video. This information is collected and then compared with baselines provided by the instructors to help with overall driver improvement.
The results of my Day One data, after trying to follow Danny Kok's pace as well as keeping my level of vision up to hit the turn-in points and apexes, is not pretty! In short, I'm slow. I'm also tentative with my braking - or sometimes too abrupt - and I jump on the throttle too quickly, not being smooth in my transition from brake to gas pedal.
"We tend to find the biggest mistake on the track is mid-corner speed," says Kok, explaining that not carrying enough speed into the corner and then getting on the gas to compensate unloads the front tires and creates an understeer condition. More than anything, the instructors encourage a smooth application of throttle and brake to keep the car balanced.
Kok uses his 30-year career as a race car driver and instructor to further illustrate the point. During a race, braking one car length later into a turn than another driver might improve your lap time by a tenth of a second, he says. Getting through the corner one kilometre an hour faster can result in a one- second advantage.
"Brake earlier and carry your speed," he recommends.
Much of the instruction is specific to getting the car positioned properly for each of Mosport's 10 turns. Take Turn 5A and 5B, otherwise known as Moss Corner, for instance: "It's the slowest corner, but it leads to the fastest part of the track [the Andretti Straightaway].
"Your lap times will come down when your technique improves," he says. "Get the throttle down to the [apex] cone.
"If you roll through [the turn], you don't get the front [wheels] down, which means you don't get the steering input into the apex.
"Get 5 right at all costs."
Day Two is when things start coming together. Paterson offers some tips on finding the apexes in the blind corners - "follow the walls" - as well as how to brake smoother. "You want to keep your heel on the floor and use your toes to slowly release the brake.
I get more familiar with the track, learning to trust when to turn instead of reaching the turn-in points and then desperately searching for the apexes. Says Kok: "The cones are there to connect the dots, but, at some time, they become a hindrance. Start reading the track. Skid marks are where you shouldn't be."
Armed with all this newly acquired coaching, I go out again for another data acquisition session, feeling more relaxed (slightly) and less tentative. The 451-horsepower C 63 feels better under my control and things begin to click. The results, when analyzed, show promise - my best lap time is five seconds faster than the day before. I'm a whopping 32 kilometres an hour faster through Turn Four, 13 km/h quicker through 5A and 10 km/h faster going into Turn Eight. My top speed at the end of the Andretti Straightaway is 225.5 km/h.
The program culminates with a slalom competition and a fast lap with Kok behind the wheel of the fearsome 563-hp SLS (his time is about 18 seconds faster than mine). In all, it's great fun at a great track taught by knowledgeable people.
And, though it took place at a track setting, the lessons learned can equally apply to the street.
The cost of the two-day AMG Driving Program is far from cheap - $3,995 per person.
While I won't try to persuade you that it's well worth it, let me offer this thought: For two days, you get a safe track setting where you are taught advanced driving control, which allows you to go as fast as your skill and the car's power and grip will take you. Try that on the street and, when caught, the fines and increase in your insurance will far outweigh the cost of the program.

Pretty Little Liars earned its reputation as a favorite guilty pleasure for two big reasons: it satisfies our appetite for drama and inspires some pretty sweet style to take off screen and into the real world. The third season is well under way and already rife with as many enviable looks as it is with drama-inducing secrets and scandals. Aria, Hannah, Spencer, and Emily's personal styles are vastly different, but as every ensemble proves, they're all pros at mixing and matching — in short, the kind of styling skills worth taking note of. Step inside to see all the latest ensembles from one of our favorite fashion-centric TV shows, then shop similar and exact pieces for your own real-life closet.

This artwork is currently on display in Gallery 743
The slender proportions and attenuated stiles of this chair proclaim an awareness of progressive British art furniture, especially that of E. W. Godwin, the British architect and originator of the so-called Anglo-Japanese style. It is often compared with a similar chair designed by H. W. Batley and displayed by the British firm Collinson & Lock at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition of 1876. Herter Brothers' interpretation, with a panel of carved flowers across the back and floating blossoms in marquetry on the crest rail, is distinctly its own, however. Lightweight and linear in conception, ebonized to allude to Japanese lacquer, with ring-turned legs, repeated spindles, and elongated uprights, these chairs abstain from specific European historical references in favor of a new aesthetic derived, at least in spirit, from Japanese decorative arts and architecture. Ebonized chairs such as this were typically made in pairs by the firm for use in conjunction with bedroom suites. The mate to this chair is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The showcover is a replacement and replicates documented fabric designed by Bruce J. Talbert.

Corkcicle 3 3
corkcicle The corkcicle works well to keep white wine cool. The only thing is it's not effective after you get half way through the bottle because it doesn't go to the bottom of the bottle. January 10, 2013
Corkcicle I was so excited to get my Corkcicle, as the description says, ice cubes can have a diluting effect on my white wine. A couple of things I was disapptointed in: 1) I opened my wine to insert the Corkcicle and wine came spurting out of the top - so had to empty some of the wine in a glass so it would fit; 2) I was disappointed that it did not get the wine cooler. My Corkcicle had been in the freezer for a week, so I know it was cold, but it the wine was no where as chilled as I was led to believe. I would not recommend this product. June 27, 2012
Great Idea! I was given one of these and knew I had to buy a bunch for fellow wine lovers; it's excellent for entertaining, in that it's one less thing you need to tend to when dealing with a group of people. Come summer, with outdoor dining, it'll be perfect keeping the wine cold and keeping insects out at the same time! May 4, 2012

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR | Haugen falls victim to smear campaign
November 19, 2012 · Updated 10:11 AM
To the editor:
At the close of this election season, the 10th Legislative District lost a longtime, stalwart leader when Mary Margaret Haugen was defeated. State Sen. Haugen earned the bipartisan respect of the lawmakers she worked with over the years and the admiration of those who had the privilege of knowing her. It is sad that her service to the citizens ended without a well-deserved public acknowledgement of her unmatched dedication. It is especially disheartening that she was the target of an unwarranted and unprofessional smear campaign. It is not uncommon for challengers to deny culpability when a negative campaign is waged on their behalf. If a candidate has so little control over their own campaign tactics, how can we expect them to be effective in office?
Thank you, Mary Margaret, for your years of unselfish service.
Maggie Lyen

Sur, the stuff of legends
Sur's the stuff that legends are made of. Some say it's the birthplace of Sindbad of the 1001 Nights Arabian fairytale. While there's another school that says Sindbad's from Sohar, which is further north, no one dispute's Sur's place in history.
It is a place where they still make the dhows – wooden boats that have been used for centuries – by hand. From the downtown beach area, the dhow yard is down the beach as it arches to the right.
In Sur you feel as if you are on the edge of the world, in another world. A seaside town about 350kms from Oman's capital Muscat, Sur boasts of a long seafaring tradition.
The Sur lighthouse is still active and is an approximately 11m (36 ft) three-storey tower with domed roof. Sur is a small port on the Gulf of Oman about 30 km west of Ras al-Hadd, the easternmost tip of Arabia. The lighthouse is located on Ras Ayqah, the promontory on the east side of the harbour entrance.

Leader of the Nazi Party, which in 1939 started World War 2. Hitler hated people of the Jewish descent, and killed 6 million jews in a time period known as the Holocaust. Aproaching the end of WW2, with the allied forces surounding Berlin, Hitler commited Suicide. Heh. Adolf Hitler was a real cunt.
5. | Hitler | ||
Hitler? More like Shitler! Eisenhower: Hey Hitler, you're shit!
Churchill: Yeah, Shitler! Hitler: :( |
6. | hitler | ||
Commonly mistaken for the dictator who lead the Nazi party in World War 2, and had millions of people, both Jewish and other, slaughtered.
This is not the case. The man who did that was actually Santa, in a cunning disguise as the Austrian. He did this to be able to vent his unbridled hate for the Jews, while still being loved by most of the world. During this time Hitler was actually ridding the world of the unspeakable evil, Superman, and after an epic battle, he defeated him, without the use of kryponite, or any similar element. Unfortunately his body was destroyed when Superman let out his final burst of power. However, a canadian mechanic found his destoyed body, and replaced it with a robot form, resulting in what is now a powerful force for good, Super Mecha Hitler. Hitler did not actually lead the Nazi party during World War 2, but did don the uniform worn by Santa while impersonating him, as well as a cape with the Swastika on it.
He is now a robot, known as Super Mecha Hitler, and is a force for good. During his life he displayed boundless acts of love, charity, and courage. He was not in any way, shape or form a racist. |
7. | Hitler | ||
A general all-around nice guy. That is, except for him being a raving lunatic who liked to kill people for no reason and take over countries to give more land to the "perfect race". See asshole Nazi: Hiel Hitler!!!!
Any other person besides Nazi or KKK member: Die bitch! (Shoots Nazi in head who dies) |

During his time in Annapolis, Bears GM Phil Emery was a leader among Midshipmen
By Sean Jensen firstname.lastname@example.com February 8, 2012 8:40PM
Updated: February 9, 2012 12:10PM
Shortly after Navy hired him as running backs coach in 1995, Ken Niumatalolo chatted with a player in the Midshipmens expansive sports-conditioning facility. Soon, a tall, sturdy man approached them and politely interrupted. Very stern and direct, he said, Dont talk to the players during their lift. Theyre focused, Niumatalolo recalled. There was a focus about the man I had never seen before.
That was Niumatalolos introduction to Phil Emery, then, for all intents and purposes, the czar of player performance. Niumatalolo is now Navys football coach and Emery is the Bears general manager.
Niumatalolo considers Emery, the onetime strength and conditioning coach at Navy, one of the greatest leaders he has ever worked alongside, and others whove worked and coached with Emery agree.
I learned many leadership skills from Phil Emery when I first came here as a 29-year-old coach, Niumatalolo said. Theres a leadership about him that you cant deny. It hits you right in the face when you meet him.
Kansas City Chiefs general manager Scott Pioli hired Emery as his college scouting director based on the recommendation of his friend Thomas Dimitroff. When he took over as general manager of the Atlanta Falcons, Dimitroff hired David Caldwell as college scouting director and demoted Emery, but he was impressed by the veteran scouts professionalism and talent.
Im going to miss him dearly, Pioli said late last week. Hes one of those guys who is a good teammate, all across the board. Hell be successful. I really do believe hell be successful.
Despite a nontraditional route to his current position, Emerys past is highlighted with distinctions: two Southeastern Conference championships while at Tennessee, an NFC South title with the Falcons and an AFC West title with the Chiefs. And, most notably, he helped lead the Midshipmen to the 1996 Aloha Bowl, Navys first postseason appearance in 16 years and its first postseason victory since 1978.
A Michigan native, Emery was an offensive lineman at Wayne State University in Detroit. The Warriors coach was Dick Lowry, and he recalled Emery as an ideal student-athlete.
His Division II program wasnt known for football, so Lowry emphasized education with his players. We wanted them to graduate, Lowry said. That was our No. 1 priority.
Emery was quiet, but he worked extremely hard in the classroom and weight room. In fact, Lowry said Emery wasnt a natural athlete. He was strong because he made himself strong, Lowry said. He was the first to come [to the weight room] and the last to go. And people followed his work habits.
As far as leadership goes, he was one of the top leaders Ive ever had the opportunity to coach. Emery was awarded the Ron Solack Memorial Award, the Warriors most prestigious honor.
When he arrived at Navy in 1993, receiver Astor Heaven didnt consider himself much of an athlete. I wasnt the fastest dude, Heaven said, and I wasnt the strongest. But Emery as he did for every player in the program customized a workout program for him and constantly evaluated his progress.
In Heavens mind, he didnt have a choice: Emery intimidated him. He was big and bulky, and he never seemed to take any time off.
One offseason, the players figured their 5 a.m. run would be canceled because of a snowstorm. But, just in case, they headed to the track. I said, Theres no way hes going to be there. We thought wed go back to our room, Heaven recalled. But he was sitting there with coffee in hand.
It was a very disappointing run.
In his mind, Heaven can still recall Emery yelling, Hands down! then the players preparing to sprint on his preannounced snap count. It was his trademark thing, Heaven said. We joke about it now, but we feared hearing, Hands down! back in the day.
Heaven credits Emery with his personal development as well as that of the entire program. He was basically the rock of the program, said Heaven, now an antitrust attorney in Washington, D.C. If you ask the players on the team, the single most influential factor we were at the Aloha Bowl was because of Phil.
Niumatalolo recalled Emerys presence in meetings. When he spoke, it was like a general or admiral, Niumatalolo said. So smart. Very articulate. Very commanding.
He coached our young men as hard as anybody Ive seen. He was very demanding but also very fair, and hes also very loving.

Barbados employment slips
Barbados has seen a dramatic increase in unemployment benefits and requests for help from the government following the recession, a country that emerged rather well from colonialism is now struggling, but a new census is in the works.
Barbados is country with much to be proud of, this little island nation in the Caribbean was a possession of various colonial powers from the Spanish in the 15th century to the British until 1966. Read more
Barbados is a coral island, pushed out of sea by volcanic activity in a far away time. On the West Coast of Barbados, coral shore beaches of fine white sand stretch along a blue-green sea. Coral reefs fringe the Barbados shoreline to provide excellent snorkeling and Scuba Diving. Along the East Coast a lively surf is blown briskly by the strong and constant trade winds and the waves pound against a rocky shore. The constant breeze of the trade winds give Barbados a mild and pleasant tropical climate.
Barbados is mostly a flat coral island with excellent beaches, but there are rolling hills and many deep ridges and gullies, with an interesting distribution of flora and fauna. Within the Barbados coral core there is a vast array of caves and underground lakes which provide an excellent supply of drinking water that is amongst the purest in the world. Geologically Barbados is unique, being actually two land masses that merged together over the years. This and other anomalies make Barbados quite phenomenal, and there are geological structures that you will find only in Barbados.

The one about the break
[Side note: If you expect dramatic farewell e-mails copy/pasted here then this ain't that dhobi ghaat. But since you asked, I had a dream job and I was lucky to work with some tough-ass talented, even genuinely nice, people]
"Why?": No simple reason. I think career decisions like these are the toughest ones to make. And sure as hell, the toughest one to take. I worked for eight years in a great job, but somewhere I drew a line and said, well, that's that then. I need a break. Not that whole running away to Ladakh and finding your mojo (for the record I also did that) kinda breaks. Not those varieties. I'm talking clean break.
I've seen how we slog. And boy, all of us slog. Those late hours and all those reasons to justify them. I've seen some people doing the work they were born to do. Good for them. Me? I'm not in a tearing hurry to find out what I was born to do. Like that Jerry Maguire tagline I love – "The journey is everything." So one fine day, I decided I needed to exhale. You know, take a look around. And hence the break. Or the brake.
"What next?": "Dude, I don't know, let's see". Some people buy it, some don't, even if I'm not selling anything. What I can't quite get is why this "I don't know" isn't acceptable. I mean, what's the big deal in someone just taking a break without a job offer or a business plan in his hand?
The opinions: Dicey, dicey. We live in times when ambition and drive are taken for granted. Pushing harder is the order of the day. Tolerance and understanding come at a premium. We're all entitled to our opinions and views. And neither have to have anything to do with the truth. Or with your side of the story. Being judgmental is easy. But our opinions about others can say more about us, than about them. Enough said.
The ones on my side: One funny question I got often was "What'd your wife have to say?" I don't know the point of this question but since you asked, she was cool with it. My friends were also, by and large, cool. So ok, some of them questioned my intelligence and some warned me about desolation, doom and gloom. Oh I kid them, but come on, they did so only for my good. They couldn't understand my reasons and I don't expect them to. I'm just glad they're there. But the ones I love are those that went "Congrats" and "You'll figure it out". And those that never asked me why.
Finally, here's the thing. I have no idea what job or business I'm going to do tomorrow or whenever. And sometimes, that ain't a pretty thought. But sitting here today, if I take out the debris of an all-too familiar panic, I can see excitement too. What the heck. We all make decisions and we all have our reasons. It's a risk we take, a call we make. Things work out, things don't. They call it life. This is mine.

That's brave. The reason everyone (or most) question the step you took is because it's easy to go where everyone is going, but a lot more difficult to make your own path. Have fun!
Basically, u missed Dange too much, and coudnt work after he left. And now you doing dimag ka dahi!
If you wondering who am I? ..a hint : the original 3 musketeers!

- Kusum Rohra said...
This is something very close to my heart. This is exactly what I want to do someday (though I am full of uncertainties now).
There is this desire of being able to *live* my life and be able to make moolah as a by product and yeah make it lots of moolah please ;D.
Essentially what happens now is I make the moolah but I don't have the *flexibility* to go out and live my life the way I want to.
I hope things work out for you(in which case it is binding upon you to send me part of your profits) Try and read the poem ITHAKA , that poem speaks about how everything that you want from the destiny should essentially be in the journey so that when you do reach destination, you don't find it empty cause you have achieved everything already.
And then there is IF
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;......
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And -- which is more -- you'll be a Man, my son!
And yes thats what life is :) - 2:06 PM
- Bombay Addict said...
Kusum - Thanks for that nice comment and well, I do hope you find that way to live life and make (lots of) moolah as a "by-product"!! Nice poem, nice lines, loads to learn from it, but honestly I don't think I can risk all my winnings on one pitch-and-toss. The prospect of slogging again to earn that winnings is quite daunting! Will read that poem. And hey, as long as I'm not making any money, all my profits are yours! Lol..
- Asterix said...
Looks like you have done exactly what I plan to do 2-3 years from now.
Hats off to you dude! - 4:37 PM

Asterix - And all the best to you dude! thanks for the comment!

Cuckoo - thanks very much!
- Purush said...
Excellent post and attitude buddy...perhaps great things await!
- Bombay Addict said...
Purush - always good to have you here. Thanks!
- Abodh said...
good ! do your own thing .. and now you will get some time to stray around , meet and how about the walk that you were planning. - 11:08 PM
- Anil P said...
I believe letting go needs some courage, not so much holding on.
Now that you've let go, hold on to it.
If you can get hold of 'Charles Kuralt's America' by Charles Kuralt, do read it, you'll know why.
Until then, so long, and yes, a happy journey to you whatever it might be. - 8:37 PM
- Bombay Addict said...
Abodh - Straying around is a up there in priorities my friend! good to hear from you! Unfortunately that last walk I'd planned, I had to cancel because of time constraints. However, I think that Abha and Brinda's BHW is doing something this Sunday - any idea if that's true because their website doesn't seem to mention anything.
- Bombay Addict said...
Anil - Always good to have you here. Thanks very much for your comment, I appreciate it. You've hit the nail on the head sir. I will definitely read that book, thanks for that!!
- An Iengar Chick .... said...
BA: I did quit cold turkey one day too...may not be for reasons same but enough is what I said to me. But pretty soon something else landed my way and this time although I did wanna be there I had to quit to have some me time. Hmm haven't found my calling yet, but someday I will, I know I will. Till then I'm taking the time to heal myself.
And you're damn right that some love what they do and are damn good at it and the others are in it for the same damn reason I was.
Whatever it is that you are lookin' for, hope you find it soon.
- Bombay Addict said...
Red - Long time... "Enough" is the right word. It really is. Takes some time to figure out, but like I said these decisions are never easy. Thanks for the visit!
- Nandan said...
Hey...one month (or more) I am away from the blogosphere and this happens!
Great step, man...it takes guts...the ol' batteries will be really recharged after this.
All the best and all that.. :)) - 11:22 AM
- Bombay Addict said...
Hey Nandan - One month away? Man, you were on your break!. Thanks very much for the comment and the wishes, much appreciated!

This Open Mike piece is shoddy, fact-challenged bloviating.
1. DHS did not "... search people's homes". The search was conducted by Watertown Police, Boston Police, and the FBI.
2. Nowhere does any reporting state that "some guy went out for a smoke". The accounts state a couple went outside for fresh air, when the husband discovered tarp lines had been cut.
3. Colleen McMahon did NOT rule that American citizens can be executed. She ruled narrowly in the Al-Awlaki case that the government could not be compelled to publish its justification for killing Al-Awlaki in Yemen.
4. Likewise, the Supreme Court has not ruled on domestic drone.
5. That "one terrorist for every 50 civilians" trope was from a single Pakistani 2009 report that had internal political motivation. Nowhere else has this claim been made, except in reports citing the original.
Myers is entitled to his OPINIONS, however baseless, but no amount of conspiracy paranoia entitles him to his own "facts".
Mr. Gabe,......No problem...Possibly, unemployable as an engineer, surveyor, archeologist, Teamster, Carpenter, PileButt, Rod-Buster, Mud pump operator, electrician, landscaper, hot plant
employee, shipper-dreyage, concrete column, "steel concrete forms" supplier, or Operating Engineer,.... Gabe?.....Writing must be nice, while depending upon shipping and infrastructure to feed, medicate, house, transport you...
Beautifully worded Kris. If only we had of had that revolution by now! I believe it's still coming. Btw, WHERE ARE YOU???!!! Sylvana :o)
Speaking out is not the same thing as leadership. We elect people to Congress to be leaders. The elderly and other average folks who fret while trying to sleep over their future deserve a leader and a champion. They need to hear that Huffman is fighting for them. To do other is to validate the current movement of austerity falsely conncoted in the name of deficit crisis and to protect the bankers and fianciers from being penalized for collapsing the economy. Our elderly and our future generations should not have to pay for these mistakes. Raise the taxes on the elite wealth holders if you are truly worried about the solvency of these programs and are buying into the GOP drown government in the bathtub scenario. Carry the banner and get out in front and hold the line. DO SOMETHING! Don't shirk into the shadows.
Get a spine Mr. Huffman. We don't need more Jellyfish democrats in Congress. The Northcoast deserves better.
It's one thing to say what you hope the president will do. It's another thing to make a public commitment to what you will do.
The letter that Rep. Huffman has signed and that is on his website says what he hopes the president will do. Rep. Huffman has so far, refused to sign the Grayson-Takano letter. In that letter, the signers make a public commitment to what they will do - and that is, vote against any cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits.
Rep. Alan Grayson signed the letter that Rep. Huffman signed AND he initiated the Grayson-Takano letter, promising to vote against any cuts to Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid benefits. Rep. Grayson explains why here: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/03/06/gray…
Mr. Huffman shouldn't even be allowed in the same room with Norman Soloman. He is puff piece sold out to the democratic machinery so he can climb higher. He is a career politician. Alice Chan is being nice considering events. Because there were thirteen Democrats in the race and the elections standards had been changed Mr. Huffman never even had to make a single promise to his constituents so he is free to be a complete self-interested sell out to the party machinery.
"Truth Time"? Really? You're afraid to put your real name to this? At least Alice has the guts to sign her name.
How disingenuous can Alice Chan possibly be? She knows Huffman HAS taken a firm and clear stand against these cuts, because it's a matter of public record that has been available on Huffman's website for almost two months. See http://huffman.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/congressman-huffman-on-deficit-reduction-and-social-security-medicare. Huffman has spoken out against these cuts (including chained CPI) on the floor of Congress, and recently acted on his statements by voting against cuts to Medicare and chained CPI. It's shocking that Ms. Chan would choose not to mention any of this, and it speaks to her and Norman Solomon's (in)credibility and basic dishonesty. BTW, they did do some very over the top "bullying" -- Chan co-signed a mass email with Solomon that threatened serious political "consequences" if Huffman didn't sign their pledge. Maybe Ms. Chan should reveal that she ran Norman Solomon's losing campaign against Huffman, and maybe she and he should get over their 23-point loss and stop purposely deceiving people about where Huffman stands on protecting Medicare and Social Security benefits.
I just saw your comment months post facto and have a response. First, there are a handful of mentally ill people in this country who are dangerous. There are millions of criminals with guns who shoot people for profit and for sport. You're focusing on the wrong group of shooters. Yes, identify the dangerous mentally ill and treat them. But don't scapegoat them or other mentally ill people as you are doing. Second, I haven't shot anyone and I am not going to—especially when my Second Amendment rights have been de facto violated by the state of California and the federal government—I'm not allowed to own a gun, even though since I wrote this, my bipolar has gone into remission. Once the government starts taking inviolable rights away from a vulnerable subclass of people, you have to wonder who's going to be targeted next. Bloggers? Hackers? Lawyers? Oh, wait. That's already happening. Third, I highly suggest you (and others who think like you) get educated about what mental illness is—I can tell you that your mental picture of a mentally ill person as hapless and drooling and/or maniacal and paranoid is skewed. I perform extremely complex tasks every day, navigate hundreds of personalities and agendas at work and in my personal life, and give service to thousands of other bipolar wackos online as one of five admins on one of the most amazing Facebook groups for people with bipolar disorder. By far, I am not the only high-functioning mentally ill person. I've met people who have schizophrenia with computer science and math degrees. I deal with them every day. So lay off the mentally ill people, get clued into the realities of mental illness, and read the theory behind the Bill of Rights. Then we can talk. —Kris
Mister Myers needs to get his head out of his 1,000 acre ranch in LA-LA land and actually GO to Israel and learn the facts of the West Bank "occupation". Why does Israel occupy the West Bank? Because in 1967 five (or six) Arab nations, including Jordan attacked and the Israeli army ended the conflict in six days, gaining in ground not only the West Bank but the Gaza Strip AND the Sinai Desert. Lets talk about who is terrorizing who here...lets talk about why my friends who live in the West Bank, one Moshav over from a Palestinian neighborhood get along with their neighbors yet need to ride in bullet proof buses to get to Jerusalem. Lets talk about the countless attacks, bombs, car bombs etc., carried out over the past 30+ years against Israeli citizens - no military strikes, strikes on weddings, movie theaters and city buses, killing and injuring thousands of Israeli men, women and children as well as tourists and yes, their Arab bredren to boot. Yes - the conflict is ancient. Yes - the Israeli government has been less than fair to their Arab residents. But let's not forget that this country lives in a world of "Code Red", something Mr. Myers and the rest of the cushy USA have no idea about, no clue of the duck and cover existence over there. Soda Stream, as well as other organization in Israel are making in-roads in the social situation between "normal" Arabs/Palestinians and "normal" Israelis. I bought a soda stream recently because I love fizzy water and I too am tired of throwing away plastic bottles. I love my Soda Stream because it represents more than just fizzy water now - it represents even the smallest effort to combine and understand cultures. Mister Myers can't see the forest for the trees here simply because he has been overcome with the PC hippy-dippy "don't murder me" attitude so prevalent in Sonoma County, and garnered and encouraged in an effort to be "right and hip". Mr. Myers needs to study the history and situation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict more thoroughly before denouncing not Israeli even, but JEWISH efforts to start building a bridge. I don't imagine he knows in his soul how important it is for the state of Israel to continue to exist and thrive. One viewing of the film Exodus should be a start. You can rent that on Netflix.
Well said Desiree! I'd like to add that being housed on the Santa Rosa High School campus allows CMCNB to serve not only the ArtQuest program but other school departments and campuses as well. For example, the Life Skills classes that bring the students in to learn how to create Public Service Announcements on health issues, or the behind-the-scenes technical help given by CMCNB staff to video teachers at Elsie Allen High School. Let's not forget that Piner High School staff was able to solicit major capital donations to construct a new building for their science program with the help of a CMCNB Snapshots video. Snapshots is CMCNB's magazine show that highlights dozens of school programs and the good work of local non-profits in the area. http://youtu.be/7NN6udj5q6A
Few of us recognize the true security threat to the USA; consider:
trust in gov:
The 'boast of heraldry, the pomp of power' don't address/solve the deadly problems created globally by this God forsaken war waging nation.
CJIS USED BY fbi AS A TOOL TO INSTILL F E A R:
Now meet the fbi in the person of homicidal sociopath David Jenkins, aka, J. Robert Upton:
The mentally ill are the cause of all this carnage in this country. Do you know how long it would take to kill 20 school children and 6 adults with a semi-auto gun or a semi-auto pistol? This killer had to have help,Vice President Joe Biden said,one little girl was shot 11 ,eleven times. How could this be and what was he using besides the guns he had? Look at the time line and when the police were called and who was there besides this killer? Where were the children,in a classroom,hallway,where,we haven't been told by anyone. Where were the adults when he was killing them,all standing in line for him,remember,one shot,one trigger pull,how many magazines did he have and how could he have had the cold bloodiness to reload and still kill these people. Were these children just sitting there or were they running or in a locked room? Do you know what it takes for even the most hardened criminal to kill this many people at one time. The killers mother made a grave mistake in training this young man with mental problems about how to shoot these weapons and then not keeping them in a Gun-Safe and not giving him access to it.You blame the NRA for this carnage and you should be looking at the real problem,not treating the mentally ill and not putting them where they can't harm anyone. This killer tried to buy a weapon from a dealer and couldn't pass a background check,don't you think the police or the FBI should have followed up on this? The NRA and the law abiding are not to blame for this heinous crime no more than you are.
Roundabouts are more complicated to use. Having grown up in England and learned to drive there, I can tell you that RoundAbouts are far more effective than traffic signals for most situations but the general population HAS to know how to drive through them.
This is not something we should do on a city by city basis.
I really do not understand this nostalgia (pre-nostalgia, actually) for standard intersections controlled by traffic signals. They are far more dangerous than roundabouts. Studies show that roundabouts reduce injury accidents by 75%. Vehicle through-put is improved, too.
Of course a male would have something to say. And of course it's someone who doesn't go to SSU. did you know there have been multiple sexual assualts and rapes on campus? Did you know that a male referring to a woman as a bitch, then that person being praised and paid mulitiple millions of dollars is setting the example that if you treat women like property, they will believe they are property? Your argument would be valid if the media didn't constantly degrade women. But the proof that something needs to change lies in the sheer number of girls and women with eating disorders, or women who think they need to get surgery to live up to someone else's standards. If we're playing this garbage on college campuses, a supposed safe place for students, then where do we females have to go so we're not surrounded by loud speakers, images, and even the opposite sex either blanantly or figuratively disrespecting us because of our gender?I did contact the group that played the music, and of course, I never got a response. I, for one Alex hope that you never have kids. Especially a girl because you have very little respect for women.
May the Federal Grand Jury indicted the shooters with live rounds for murder one.
They destroyed my life with falsehoods from a sick relative, and paralyzed me.
I knew too much because my father trained me. He was A. T. and F. and Explosives, and I.R.S..40 years plus...
I'm sorry to break it to you, but TJ's hasn't been as honest about their "story" as you think they have. In fact It's quite the opposite.
Fortune Magazine reports "'Fortune obtained a copy of a standard vendor agreement, which states, "Vendor shall not publicize its business relationship with TJ's in any manner.'
Why the lockdown? Former executives say that Trader Joe's wants neither its shoppers nor its competitors to know who's making its products."
Here's the link: http://money.cnn.com/2010/08/20/news/companies/inside_trader_joes_full_version.fortune/index.htm?source=yahoo_quote
Not supporting the GMO Initative isn't surprising considering that one of their chip vendors is Lays (owned by PepsiCO).
I love TJ so it's painful to read this- but thanks for forcing us to look clearly at our stores and force them to be accountable.

One of the principal functions of The Chartered Institute of Taxation is to put forward to the Government and to the European Commission the Institute's views on legislation, both existing and proposed, and its administration in the field of UK taxation (and international taxation which has an impact on the UK). Much of the work is done by way of responses to consultative documents and comments on every Finance Bill. A number of proactive projects are regularly undertaken as well, examples being the submission of Budget representations, research and discussion papers. This area contains information about the technical activities of the Institute.
Summaries of technical activities can also be found in the 'Technical Committee Newsdesk' section of the Institute's monthly journal Tax Adviser. The Technical Committee operates through ten sub-committees and a number of working groups. Much of the day-to-day technical work is carried out by the Institute's Technical Officers in consultation with the chairmen and members of the sub-committees. The Institute is also represented on a number of external committees and groups.
The Institute does not have the resources to offer a technical advisory service to members.The committee is interested in all taxes, and in both technical and procedural tax issues. Any political issues are, however, best raised directly with MPs.

If one thing was clear at CES 2013, it was that Smart features on top-of-the line TVs had advanced substantially over those found on last year's models.
Screen interfaces now sport multiple panels and customization capabilities to make them more useful and less cluttered. Voice and gesture control have been improved to the point where you might actually want to use those features in place of a standard-issue remote. And synchronized "second-screen" applications for browsing content and program guide data on a tablet or phone and "throwing" it to the TV for instantaneous viewing are now widely available and easy to get up and running.
I had the opportunity to serve as the moderator of a panel at CES called The Latest and Greatest in Smart TV, which included reps from Panasonic, LG, DirecTV, and Skype. While the general consensus seemed to be that TVs have now moved well beyond the merely "connected" state, the question lingered as to whether users are taking advantage of all the cool new features on offer — and whether or not manufacturers should offer them at all. Click this link to watch the panel discussion in its entirety.
Some key points to emerge from the panel:
All I really want a TV to be is a TV. Technology changes much faster than we replace TV's. Yes, I see that the cycle is trending downward to 5-7 years. I would prefer to use external players like Roku, Apple TV or Blu-Ray players for smart functions.
It's that time again, and S+V's staff and contributors are on site in Las Vegas to bring you the latest and greatest in entertainment tech, from the country's biggest consumer electronics show.

Corsair Vengeance Extreme Low Profile DDR3 Ram runs at 3000 MHz
Corsair has launched a new Vengeance Extreme 8GB dual-channel DDR3 memory kit that can be locked and loaded at a whipping frequency of 3000MHz. The kit runs at latencies of 12-14-14-36 at a voltage of 1.65V. It will ship later this month in limited quantities for, and I do kid you not, $749.99. A Kingpin Cooling memory cooler is included for overclockers who want to use LN2 (liquid nitrogen) to reach memory speeds beyond 3000MHz.
Corsair®, a worldwide designer and supplier of high-performance components to the PC hardware market, today announced new Vengeance® Extreme 8GB dual-channel DDR3 memory kits rated at 3000MHz, the world's fastest rated production PC memory kits. Fitted with low profile "racing red" heat spreaders, the new 2x4GB memory kits operate at 3000MHz air-cooled, with latency settings of 12-14-14-36, at 1.65V. A Kingpin Cooling memory cooler is included for overclockers who want to use LN2 (liquid nitrogen) to reach memory speeds well beyond 3000MHz.
The extreme-speed 3000MHz rating of the Vengeance Extreme memory kits is the result of a rigorous internal four-stage hand-screening process performed by Corsair engineers. This process is passed by fewer than one in 50 memory ICs. Performance qualification is performed on select Intel® Z77 based motherboards, including the ASUS P8Z77-I DELUXE and ASRock Z77 OC Formula. To hit their rated speeds, the modules require a 3rd Generation Intel Core™ unlocked processor with an Integrated Memory Controller capable of running 3000MHz.
"We are focused on helping enthusiasts and overclockers push the boundaries of PC performance," said Thi La, Senior VP and GM of Memory and Enthusiast Component Products at Corsair. "Our engineering team's hard work has led to new performance optimization techniques for memory, which we are pleased to debut in our new Vengeance Extreme memory."

Make sure it's the correct size...

Comments about HALO Innovations HALO SleepSack Baby Swaddle - Fleece BLUE XS (6-12 LBS.):
I love the Halo sleepsacks, but make sure you get the right size for your little one. My baby is 12 pounds and this sack is for 13-18 lbs. I thought she was close enough, but the first night I used it, it rode up around her face when she wiggled her hands out of it. So I put it away and am waiting until she's the correct weight. I have now reverted back to using the previous size that she'd outgrown length-wise (the newborn size) and made it work by cutting the bottom of the sack open, so her little feet can stick out the bottom. The top still fits and is nice and snug so she can't get her hands free and it doesn't ride up. Also, make sure to pull the wings/velcro down at an angle so there's less of a chance that it will ride up.
really works

About Me Parent of Multiples (Twins etc)
I'm so glad that i was able to find a product similar to the swaddle blankets that i used for my twins when they were first born. Without being able to find bigger sizes in a swaddle blanket, I decided to try the Halo Sleep Sack Baby Swaddle. I absolutely love them and will definitely purchase the next size larger when needed. I dont have to worry about a loose blanket covering my babies heads and them getting tangled in a loose blanket. They sleep comfortably and are very content.

text: DHS runner looking to run "down under" By Bruce WhettenDouglas Dispatch Douglas High School cross country runner Ricky Melendez is trying to raise funds that will allow him the opportunity to represent the West Central Conference Cross Country team when they run in the Down Under Sports Tournaments this summer in Australia. Melendez, a freshman at DHS and the son of Juan and Nidia Melendez of Douglas, has been actively running for about seven years running with the Thunder Mountain Running Club of Sierra Vista as often as time allows. Melendez said he was among three other local runners invited to participate in the Down Under Sports Tournament hosted on the Gold Coast of Australia. The other two athletes turned down the invitation but after talking it over with his family, he decided to set out and try to raise the money along with the help of his brother David, a former DHS runner himself who is now a volunteer assistant coach to head Coach Nicole Gomez Mariscal. The course Melendez will be running in Australia is 3.7 miles slightly longer than the 3.1 he runs for DHS during the season. Melendez is kind of quiet and doesn't say much. He says he enjoys running and is hoping he can take advantage of the opportunity given to him. Melendez has three other brothers and a sister all of whom are active not only runners but also participate in other sports as well. Dad Juan says between the kids schedule and his both he and his wife have been "hopping" taking the kids to various athletic events around the area. Melendez is looking for sponsors to make donations which are tax deductible. "Your sponsorship will be a very important part of fundraising for me and my team," Ricky said. "This donation will help us fulfill this once in a lifetime opportunity. Checks may be made out to "Down Under Sports" or paid online as www.downundersports.com. Anyone wanting more information may go to the above website or contact David Melendez at (520) 353-5670. |
