Regardless of whether Governor Malloy's new state budget proposal is fair to cities and towns as it rearranges state financial aid, a complaint coming from the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities is hollow. CCM gripes that the governor would eliminate money given to municipalities to compensate them for the property taxes from which state facilities are exempt. The rationale for this aid has been that municipalities are cheated by state government facilities that don't pay property taxes.
That's not really true. Large state facilities are actually great economic assets to municipalities. They require little in services, their employees are middle- and upper-class people with money to spend locally, and there's little competition for the property occupied, so without the state facilities the property probably would be vacant and pay little in taxes anyway.
That's why state policy in recent years has been to relocate state offices and colleges and such to city downtowns -- to draw traffic and compensate for an awful commercial vacancy rate.
That's also why Hartford, supposedly to be a victim of the withdrawal of state property tax money, is itself negotiating a 15-year tax abatement for a developer planning to renovate an empty 26-story downtown office tower into housing. Thus the city acknowledges that few middle-class people will live in it without a special stipend at the expense of other city residents. And as much as downtown Hartford needs to restore housing to support commerce, the housing contemplated will be only efficiency and one-bedroom apartments, not housing for families, since few middle-class people who have children and can choose where to live are ready to send their kids to schools overloaded with disadvantaged kids.
The Malloy administration's policy of corporate welfare -- paying corporations extraordinary bribes not just to locate in Connecticut but merely to stay -- is the equivalent acknowledgment of failure in regard to statewide business conditions.
If state facilities were really burdens, cities would be clamoring to expel them so they could be replaced with taxpaying private businesses. There is no such clamor and there are no such businesses.
Where is the great British poet Shelley when you need him?
At least the Yankee Institute's Zachary Janowski is around to alert Connecticut that the governor proposes to reduce by $10 million over two years state funding for the heavily used Metro-North commuter railroad service between New Haven and New York even as he proposes spending hundreds of millions to build the 9-mile bus highway between Hartford and New Britain, whose usefulness is wildly speculative at best. The Metro-North system in Connecticut is said to need hundreds of millions for neglected maintenance and improvement beyond 19th-century standards.
Meanwhile some state legislators are proposing that tolls be reimposed on Connecticut's highways to replenish the road maintenance fund, road maintenance also long having been neglected and gasoline tax revenue long having been diverted to other purposes. Even some advocates of tolls admit that people may distrust them and suspect that toll revenue would be diverted too.
It's all political empire and monument building and vanity, as captured by the Shelley sonnet said to have been inspired by a broken piece of ancient statuary brought to London from Egypt. Unlike Janowski, Shelley made the point rhyme: Continued...
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
At this rate the poets of the future may have to walk not just from Cairo to Luxor but also from New Haven to New York and Hartford to New Britain -- if they have reason to visit at all.

Here's the deal. The car has 165K on it, the Dinan engine has 6K on it. I have all the build sheets and receipts totaling OVER 35000.00 just from Dinan (I can email this info to qualified buyers). The work included a Stage 1 Stroker motor, Stage 4 suspension, sway bars, brakes, roll cage, seats, five point harnesses and so on. The work was done by the previous owner in the late 90's and then the car sat:( I bought the car last year and took it right back to Dinan (it's next to my office) and had them go through the whole car again. It checked out with perfect compression and no major defects. On their recommendation I change the gas tank. I also had an electric fan and short throw shift kit installed. I bought super light wheels and track tires (about due for new ones) and did 2 or 3 track days. I do have the factory stock lace wheels (not on car). Tires look good but are aged and should be replaced for street driving. Car is street legal but I have it Non-Op registered in California. There has been some slight paint work on the car but no wrecks as far as I can tell and has a clean Carfax. Paint is flaking on the spoiler a bit. Over all the paint is a 6-7. I will answer questions the best I can but remember, I didn't build the car. Defiantly don't need to sell but want something different. You know how it is. My mechanic thinks I'm crazy for selling it at all as they are sky rocketing in value. Cash offers are fine but trading is better. Looking for something "Bad Ass". Don't really want to trade down for car plus cash. Could trade up but it would have to be PERFECT. What you see is what you get. No I wont part it out. No I don't have any spare parts to sell. Lets keep the stupid questions to a minimum. Email, Text or call. Thanks |

Stocks Sink, Weighed Down by Economic Concerns (Update2)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock averages weakened Thursday as doubts about the strength of the U.S. economy weighed on investors' minds.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 50 points, or 0.4%, to 13,861.
Breadth was positive, with winners outnumbering losers 20 to 10. The top blue-chip gainers were Hewlett-Packard(HPQ) , Travelers(TRV) , McDonald's(MCD) and AT&T(T) .
The sharpest percentage decliners included Intel(INTC) , UnitedHealth Group(UNH) and United Technologies(UTX) .
The S&P 500 was down 4 points, or 0.3%, to 1,498. The Nasdaq lost 0.18 of a point to 3,142.
Most sectors in the broad market fell, with the consumer non-cyclical, capital goods and energy sectors posting the biggest losses. The services, financial and utilities sectors traded higher.
Volumes totaled 3.94 billion shares on the Big Board and 2.17 billion shares on the Nasdaq. Advancers edged decliners by a ratio of 1.1-to-1 on the New York Stock Exchange, and 1.6-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.
Greywolf chief technical analyst Mark Newton told TheStreet in an interview Wednesday evening that a report about the contraction of the economy was a "big eye opener" and "shock" to many people, noting that even as the Federal Reserve continues to pump $85 billion a month into the economy -- buying mortgage-backed securities and Treasuries -- "unemployment is still elevated and you're still seeing now signs of negative growth."
In the wake of the prior session's GDP number, Newton said he wasn't certain that Thursday's economic numbers were going to have any "big detail."
Newton also noted that traders have been concerned about increasing signs of momentum divergence; in the last couple of years, indices have been grinding higher and higher, but momentum continues to lag and volume has been weak.
He said the market is now at levels where the AAII and other sentiment polls are showing nearly a 30% spread between bulls and bears. Historically, those have been times when indices have made at least minor price corrections.

Northeast Organic Farming Association organic conference planned for January in Spa City
SARATOGA SPRINGS — More than 1,300 participants are expected at the Northeast Organic Farming Association's annual winter conference from Jan. 25 to Jan. 27 at the Saratoga Springs Hilton and City Center.
The public, including consumers interested in farming and food issues, gardeners, farmers, policy-makers, restaurant owners and social service agency officials, is invited to attend.
Registration packages are available for partial days as well as the entire event. Early-bird discounts are available through Tuesday, Dec. 11.
"The 2013 winter conference will focus on the resilience demonstrated and needed by the state's organic farmers in the face of economic and environmental upheaval," NOFA-NY Executive Director Kate Mendenhall said. "From recovering from the crop devastation experienced from recent hurricanes and droughts, to the challenges of continuing to farm when land can easily be sold to developers or for natural gas, this conference will focus on how our organic farmers demonstrate resilience every day."
Keynote speakers are Shinji Hashimoto, leader of the Japanese "Teiki" (community-supported agriculture) and an organic farmer since 1989; and 2013 Farmer of the Year Scott Chaskey of Long Island, who has long demonstrated resilience despite a changing agricultural landscape, development pressure and weather changes.
The conference also will have more than 80 technical workshops on organic and sustainable agriculture topics such as organic fruit, vegetables, grain, livestock, dairy, food processing, urban farming, agricultural policy, food justice, gardening and homesteading.
Numerous display activities are planned, including the following:
• "Farm Hack" — A farm innovation exhibition display of tools developed by farmers for resilient organic, sustainable agriculture.
• Tasting of New York wheat varieties to help with the movement to scale up the production of grains in the Northeast.
• A trade show with more than 65 growers and companies serving consumers and the organic farming community. Continued...
• A store featuring merchandise and a wide range of books on farming, gardening and organic, local food.
• Film screenings on four farming-related documentaries: "Growing Farmers," "My Father's Garden," "The Making of an Organic Farmer" and "Uncanny Terrain." The latter chronicles the plight of Japanese organic farming within the radiation zone of the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster. However, the film is still in production, so a sneak preview will be shown.
• Children's conference for children (ages 6 to 13) of adults in attendance. Activities include playing with worms and building worm bins to take home; embroidery for farm quilts; a hike in Skidmore College's North Woods; and planning a market garden.
Childcare is available for children ages 3 to 5.
Organic food will be available at all conference events. Farmers statewide and national organic food producers donate meat, vegetables, fruit, grain and dairy to the conference, enabling a full complement of organic menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
For more information, call 271-1979, ext. 511, or email email@example.com.
To receive a $10 discount for early registration, people must register online by Tuesday or call 271-1979, ext. 515. To register, go to www.nofany.org.

1979 GE Weatherton heat pump: repair or replace?
I have a 1979 GE Weatherton heat pump which services an addition on my home (in MD). The unit has worked well for the the last 30 years that I've live here with minimal repairs.
I replaced the outdoor unit 10 yrs. ago and had a new blower motor in the air handler 4 yrs ago and that's about it. I had a tech. out the other day who told me
the compressor in the outside unit is locked up and the unit has to be replaced but due to the fact that it uses the old refrigerant (I don't remember the number, R something)and a new one will use the new refirgerant (R something else) the I will have to replace the inside air handler unit as well. The existing GE Weatherton air handler unit is mounted to ceiling
in a finished basement and years ago I boxed in all the ductwork and the air handler unit but provided access panels for service, filter changing etc. The salesman came out today
to look at at replacing everything and says he doesn't know if he can find another unit of similar size with bottom access for service that will fit in the existing space and connect cleanly to the existing ductwork. I dread the fact of having to rip out and reframe/rebuild all the work I've already done to accomodate a new & larger airhandler unit.
My question is, can I have the old compressor (outside) repaired with the old type of refrigerant and keep my existing airhandler? Or does anyone know of any newer unit that
is small & ceiling mounted with bottom access that might work? It only has to services 4 rooms. I have never been impressed with the "heat" that the heat pump puts out, but I could
live with it to minimize the hassel and expense of an entire new system and having to rebuild my basement finished ceiling. I'd appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance.
You have a thirty year old air handler with a four year old blower motor mated to a ten year old outdoor unit with a locked up compressor.
That compressor did not just die arbitrarily. Something about your system's current configuration killed it. You could just get the compressor replaced, but with the material and labor cost (including what R22 refrigerant now costs these days) you will be putting a great deal of money into a ten year old machine. Unless what caused the compressor to die is found and remedied, you're taking a big gamble.
The thirty year old air handler...does it have its original cooling coil? Does it leak? If it does not leak now, it could start doing so after you've put a lot of money into fixing the outdoor unit. Then you're out money to replace the indoor section, since I guarantee you that thirty year old coil is no longer made. And you still have the old R22 refrigerant which is becoming much harder to get, and more expensive, with each passing year. The EPA is trying to rush the phase-out schedule of this product, and that is driving the cost of R22 through the ceiling.
Bite the bullet and get an entire R410A system installed. Yes, you may have to tear apart some construction, but honestly you should reconsider enclosing air handling equipment in the manner you did. It won't be there forever."In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics!"
- Homer Simpson
I don't recall those old G E air handlers having a lot of room between the coil and blower. So I doubt you'll be able to find a new coil to put in it to use with a new outdoor unit. But it may be possible. Ask you contractor to check about Mortex, Superior, and ADP possibly making a coil that will fit in to your air handler. It probably won't be cheap though.
Just remember that these smaller coils may not work well with a heat pump. They don't hold enough refrigerant for heat mode.

there are no bottom service units that im aware of. My advice is find your exact heating and cooling needs as the less capacity needed the smaller the indoor unit also the lower the seer rating the smaller the indoor unit will be .Ruud /Rheem has some pretty small indoor units .
The governent can not give anything to someone that it has not first taken from someone else
On a side note. There is no reason that a new R22 compressor can't be put in your current 10 year old condenser. And then you just continue on with your current air handler, and keep your fingers crossed it doesn't have any problems down the road.

With what we are paying for R22 refrigerant today and with how fast it is going up I would replace. Your system has more than lasted a useful life and at this point you are going to pay high energy bills and just keep band aiding it along until you could have just bought a new system.

It can certainly be fixed. There is even a good chance the existing R-22 refrigerant can be recovered and reused saving a considerable amount of money. Is it worth it? Probably not.
The picture in my avatar is of the Houston Ship Channel and was taken from my backyard. I like to sit outside and slap mosquitos while watching countless supertankers, barges and cargo ships of every shape and size carry all sorts of deadly toxins to and fro. It's really beautiful at times.....just don't eat the three eyed fish....

For dlock
I think it is a very poor use of resources $$$$$$ to repair a 33+ yr old heat pump system.
I really don't understand why you are contemplating such.
Its a 33 year old air handler. And a 10 year old condenser.
Anything can be fixed!!! The question is it worth it? In my opion NO!!! I belive you would be throughing go money at a system that will at some point need to be completley changed out. That is just my 2 cents.

Carrier 95 Model 59TP5A Gas Furnace - Quick Cycling
Two months ago, replaced our 23 year old Carrier gas furnace with a Carrier 95 Model 59TP5A two-stage ecm furnace. The system will cycle approx. 5-6 mins on and approx. 7-10 mins off. We notice this cycling more in the evening/night then the day. Probably because the temp drop during the night. Our old furnace never did this quick cycling....at least it seems quick to us compared to our old system. Is this the norm for a 2-stage furnace? We are using a single stage t-stat. So the 1st and 2nd stages are controlled from the furnace board and not the t-stat.
Thanks for the feedback.
Should use a 2 stage stat. But that probably isn't the cause of the short cycling. The CPH of the thermostat may be set to high. Is the new furnace the same BTI input as the old, and was the old furnace a 80% furnace.

Don't know the old BTU but it was a 90% Carrier. The btus on the new unit range from 66K to 100K for a 2400 sq ft home (excluding basement - which does have two heat ducts and a return...semi finished).
What is CPH of the t-stat? And is the problem that the furnace control board is running the furnace on a timed basis as opposed to the t-stat running the furnace on a temperature basis?
I've posted earlier about running a 2-stage furnace on a 1-stage tstat and feedback was it's ok to do so. The contractor said the same thing. Difference is the control board on the furnace runs the system not the tstat.
We know Carrier has a good reputation, but we wish we had our old furnace back....simple, straightforward, no microprocessor making "intelligent" decisions about running times, efficiency, burner adjustments, etc. I'm sure Carrier would be happier too but the Government probably has set certain energy efficiency standards that must be met. Sigh.
CPH is cycles per hour.
If the board timer is set to go to second stage after 5 minutes. Its not doing you much good having a 2 stage.

Just when you finally found the perfect home dock, Apple went and changed things up by eliminating the ubiquitous 30-pin connector with the new Lightning connector. JBL was right there to scoop into the market with the OnBeat Rumble boombox with a Lightning connection and Harman's TrueStream Bluetooth capabilities. It charges the iPhone 5 or iPad Mini or other Apple Lightning devices when docked, and with an adapter, can handle the legacy devices.
The OnBeat Rumble comes in either black or a subdued rust color. It has a vibration-damping rubber base, and a rubber gasket on the top to keep your iPad from sliding around. There are simple controls on top for volume, Bluetooth pairing, Bass Boost and "Club" sound. Inside, there are two 2-1/2" drivers and a single 4-1/2" downward-firing subwoofer. The speakers utilize JBL's Slipstream port technology, which is said to produce powerful bass without distortion. The system boasts 2 x 11 watts – not exactly a powerhouse, but decent for a system this compact. It would have been nice to see this available as a portable device, but alas, it is not.
In addition to the Lightning and Bluetooth connectivity, the OnBeat Rumble has an AUX input and USB to utilize the free JBL MusicFlow app, along with other DJ apps. The connectors and speaker ports are on the back of the unit.
I checked out the sound on the floor of the International CES, and while that's obviously NOT the place to do any critical listening, I could tell that the OnBeat Rumble has promise. JBL claims a frequency response of 50 Hz – 18 kHz. With the Bass Boost engaged, it had an impactful sound in the upper bass, but lacked any seriously deep bass. There was surprisingly decent stereo separation. I'll have to hold off any other judgments until I can do a real hands-on review in a more controlled environment.
While many manufacturers are playing catch-up with their outdated 30-pin connectors, JBL is showing off that they're ready for Lightning devices today. It retails for $399.95 (MSRP).
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.

Monday, April 25 2011 - 9/11 Consequences
WikiLeaks: The Guantanamo Filesby Andy Worthington Published April 24, 2011 WikiLeaks.ch On Sunday April 24, 2011 WikiLeaks began publishing 779 secret files from the notorious Guantanamo Bay prison camp. The details for every detainee will be released daily over the coming month. WikiLeaks Reveals Secret Files on All Guantanamo Prisoners PLEASE NOTE: This article has been published in languages other than English at WikiLeaks, linked here. In its latest release of classified US documents, WikiLeaks is shining the light of truth on a notorious icon of the Bush administration's "War on Terror" -- the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, which opened on January 11, 2002, and remains open under President Obama, despite his promise to close the much-criticized facility within a year of taking office. In thousands of pages of documents dating from 2002 to 2008 and never seen before by members of the public or the media, the cases of the majority of the prisoners held at Guantanamo -- 758 out of 779 in total -- are described in detail in memoranda from JTF-GTMO, the Joint Task Force at Guantanamo Bay, to US Southern Command in Miami, Florida. These memoranda, which contain JTF-GTMO's recommendations about whether the prisoners in question should continue to be held, or should be released (transferred to their home governments, or to other governments) contain a wealth of important and previously undisclosed information, including health assessments, for example, and, in the cases of the majority of the 171 prisoners who are still held, photos (mostly for the first time ever).

American Shameby Donna Marsh O'Connor Member, September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows; Mother, Vanessa Lang Langer, WTC Tower II, 93rd floor April 23, 2011 HuffingtonPost.com Shame on Representative Cliff Stearns and shame on each and every one of the representatives who voted to make compensation for 9/11 first responders reliant upon a check for "terrorist" activities. Shame is a concept that blankets American actions as it responded to that grave day. I won't belabor the many instances where this nation either killed or maimed others either in retribution or in the pretense at keeping the rest of us "safe" but I will say that this last act of betrayal by elected officials places all of us in greater danger. Frankly, if we don't counter this betrayal, we deserve what we get. What has come over us? Have we completely lost the ability to function as compassionate adults in an imperfect world? Think for one minute about the ramifications of such an act:

We Remember - OKC - April 19th, 19951. The Bombing -- http://OKCBombing.net/ On April 19, 1995, around 9:03 a.m., just after parents dropped their children off at day care at the Murrah Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City, the unthinkable happened. A massive bomb inside a rental truck exploded, blowing half of the nine-story building into oblivion. A stunned nation watched as the bodies of men, women, and children were pulled from the rubble for nearly two weeks. When the smoke cleared and the exhausted rescue workers packed up and left, 168 people were dead in the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil. The 168 victims killed in the April 19, 1995, bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Building included babies and grandparents, workers at their first days on the job and those on the verge of retirement. One woman was seven months pregnant with her first child. Another had had her wedding four days earlier. One baby had celebrated her first birthday the day before. In addition to those who lost their lives, 500 people were injured. Countless others lost friends and relatives. 2. Top Ten Reasons to Question the Official StoryBy: Holland O. Van den Nieuwenhof 1.

Join a Labor Union- Save AmericaLessons the 9/11 Truth Movement Needs to Consider With New Urgency by John Parulis The talk, linked to here, given by the late Utah Phillips in the summer of 2004 in Berkeley, California, sets a pathway for a new direction for activism centered on creating world wide worker unions established in non-violence and wide scale organizing. http://truthphalanx.com/mp3/Utah_Phillips.mp3 Utah Phillips is right. The progressive left needs to change tactics. The 9/11 Truth Movement can learn from the left's failures. Street marches achieve little or nothing. Look at the global anti-war marches of 2003 to stop the Iraq Invasion. Millions flooded the streets around the world in days of historic popular uprisings and demonstrations, yet the war proceeded and ever expanding wars metastasized in Afghanistan, Pakistan and now Libya. Nearly a million people have died. People continue to die from the so called 9/11 wars and billions continue to be misspent on these failings.

Bradley Manning: top US legal scholars voice outrage at 'torture'Obama professor among 250 experts who have signed letter condemning humiliation of alleged WikiLeaks source by Ed Pilkington in New York April 10, 2011 Guardian.co.ukApril 2011 More than 250 of America's most eminent legal scholars have signed a letter protesting against the treatment in military prison of the alleged WikiLeaks source Bradley Manning, contesting that his "degrading and inhumane conditions" are illegal, unconstitutional and could even amount to torture. The list of signatories includes Laurence Tribe, a Harvard professor who is considered to be America's foremost liberal authority on constitutional law. He taught constitutional law to Barack Obama and was a key backer of his 2008 presidential campaign. Tribe joined the Obama administration last year as a legal adviser in the justice department, a post he held until three months ago. He told the Guardian he signed the letter because Manning appeared to have been treated in a way that "is not only shameful but unconstitutional" as he awaits court martial in Quantico marine base in Virginia.

Extraordinary Conflict of Interest: Bush Cousin Presides Over Federal Court Case Against Former Bush Administration OfficialsPublished: Thursday, 7 Apr 2011 | 7:30 AM ET CNBC.com NEW YORK, April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Confounding lawyers and legal scholars all over the world, Judge John Walker, first cousin of former President George W. Bush, was one of three judges of the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals to hear argument Tuesday in Gallop v. Cheney, Rumsfeld and Myers. The lawsuit was brought by a soldier injured during the attack on the Pentagon and accuses former Vice President Dick Cheney, former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Richard Myers, of conspiring to facilitate the terrorist attacks of 9/11. The attacks killed 3000 Americans, plus many who have died from the toxic clean-up conditions at Ground Zero. Attorney William Veale, acting for April Gallop, learned of the assignment the usual 5 days before the argument, and filed a motion to disqualify Judge Walker.

Military Tribunal May Hide 9/11 MotivesBy Ray McGovern April 6, 2011 Consortiumnews.com The Obama administration's decision to use a military tribunal rather
than a federal criminal court to try alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
and four others means the real motives behind the 9/11 attacks may remain obscure. What? I sense some bristling. "Their side of the story?" Indeed! We've been told there is no "their side of the story." For years, President George W. Bush got away with offering up the risible explanation that they "hate our freedoms." The stenographers of the White House press corps may have had to suppress smiles but silently swallowed the "they-hate-us-for-our-freedoms" rationale. The only journalist I can recall stepping up and asking, in effect, "Come on; now really; it's important; why do the really hate us" was the indomitable Helen Thomas.

Psychologist behind Gitmo interrogations faces ethics complaintBy Eric W. Dolan April 4, 2011 Rawstory.com On Wednesday, the New York State Supreme Court will consider whether the state must investigate an ethics complaint filed against a New York State-licensed psychologist and major in the U.S. Army who allegedly co-authored, implemented, and monitored an abusive interrogation program at Guantanamo Bay. The Center for Justice and Accountability (CJA) and the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) asked the court to direct the New York State Office of Professional Discipline (OPD) to investigate a misconduct complaint against Dr. John Francis Leso, who led the first Behavioral Science Consultation Team at Guantanamo Bay. The OPD is responsible for regulating the ethical conduct of all New York-licensed psychologists, but has refused to investigate Dr. Leso's alleged role in the use of abusive interrogation techniques at Guantanamo Bay. The office is accused of failing to investigate Leso's misconduct, despite being presented with numerous documented allegations of Leso's violations of professional standards.

9/11 Suspects to Face Military Tribunal, Not NYC TrialApril 4, 2011 NBCnewyork.com The accused mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks will be tried in a military tribunal and not in Manhattan federal court blocks from the World Trade Center site, officials said Monday. The Justice Department's announcement was a major reversal for the Obama administration, which had faced strong pressure to abandon its 2009 decision that it would seek to try Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four alleged co-conspirators in civilian court downtown. Attorney General Eric Holder said Congress has imposed restrictions on where Guantanamo detainees can be tried, and rather than fight those restrictions and delay the trial, he ordered prosecutors to dismiss the federal indictment in New York in favor of a military trial. Holder emphasized that prosecutors had been "prepared to bring a powerful case" against the suspects and said he still believes a civilian trial would have been the best choice. The 2009 announcement that the 9/11 suspects would be tried in New York was met with fierce opposition from many elected officials, families of victims and those who live and work in Lower Manhattan, who would have had to contend with several rings of heavy security for the months of the trial.

Generic Viagra 100mg is the first drug for the treatment of erectile dysfunction or impotence, Erectile Dysfunction was a big problem till Generic Viagra was not discovered but now it has solved this problem with its wonderful results. It works by improving response to sexual stimulation that increases sex capability. Ignorance of minor health problems is always bad whether it's about female health or men's heath. As well as these health problems disturbance in sexual life should not be ignored, a disturbed sex life can depress any man especially when it's about sexual disability or impotence. In past time impotence was seen in males above 60 but with changing circumstances this problem is also visible in young men of 30s. In medical terms this impotence is called Erectile Dysfunction, it's a kind of disorder that is not sexually transmitted and this disorder increases with age. Normally Erectile Dysfunction affects sexually active men in the age of 60s but it can also affect young men due to some psychological and hormonal problems. As I would suggest one should not ignore his sex problems to avoid bigger ones I also like to add that in case you are suffering from sexual disability or disturbance in your sex life the only thing you must remember and that is Generic Viagra. Nothing can work so faster as this and nothing can provide you real pleasure of life as this. Are you still thinking that it will work or not??? If so than you should have a look at statements of those who themselves recommend it after feeling a drastic change in every step of their life because of this. So get it now to make a difference in your life and to live life to the fullest because you are getting a great opportunity to change your life. Generic Viagra is a gift of nature that man and woman enjoy the pleasure of sexual relationship. No matter from where people belong but the relation of sex is found everywhere and it has its own pleasure and seduction. Both men and women who have sex enjoy the pleasures of their lives and make a trip to heaven when they are indulged in it. The sex if performed in a romantic way gives a heavenly sense and makes the feeling out if this world. It's a joy that everyone loves to have it. If you miss a dose Viagra is not for regular use. Take it only before sexual activity. Store at room temperature. Possible Side Effects Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Viagra. More common side effects may include: Abnormal vision (color tinge, blurring, and sensitivity to light), acid indigestion, diarrhea, flushing, headache, nasal congestion, and urinary tract infection.

Child Protection Information Sheet - Trafficking
Apr 29 2010
Download right click "save as"
Child trafficking affects children throughout the world, in both industrialized and developing countries. Trafficked children are subjected to prostitution, forced into marriage or illegally adopted; they provide cheap or unpaid labour, work as house servants or beggars, are recruited into armed groups and are used for sports. Trafficking exposes children to violence, sexual abuse and HIV infection and violates their rights to be protected, grow up in a family environment and have access to education.

I saw it before I read it, actually. I liked it on first viewing, but thinking back it's pretty lame. It's misogynistic and the characters are wholly unlikable. Two Gentleman of Verona is pretty bland, too.
I saw it before I read it, actually. I liked it on first viewing, but thinking back it's pretty lame. It's misogynistic and the characters are wholly unlikable. Two Gentleman of Verona is pretty bland, too.
Make sure to read an edition with good study notes; I like the Arden Shakespeare. Oxford and Pelican are good, too.
The Tempest is one of my most favoritest things ever. It's so meta, man.
Shakespeare and his sexual innuendos and puns. Oh man....
Tempest was good!
Also I found Twelfth Night highly enjoyable. The movie "She's the Man" was loosely based on it.
My favorite would have to be Hamlet though. The humor in it balances Hamlet's angst well. ^o^
Much Ado About Nothing is an awesome play. Trying watching Kenneth Branaghs movie version. It has Denzel Washington, Emma Thompson, Kate Beckinsale and a bunch of other people
Shakespeare is something i used to shy away from because it was something i regularly had to encounter in Theatre School. But once you learn the way the text flows and how to understand his words it becomes quite enjoyable.
Think my favorite is A Midsummer Nights Dream! Everything about Puck i love so much, his character is so much fun to invision and even better to play.
I didnt like Macbeth. I couldnt understand a word they said. And Lady Macbeth was a complete and utter bitch for forcing all that trouble on her husband.
I actually liked Merchant Of Venice. We looked at it in English Literature and watched two versions of it. The first portrayed Shylock as a crafty and sinister character. i didnt like that version. But the 2nd had Al Pacino as Shylock. He played him as a much more tragic character. He was mistreated for being Jewish and wanted to get revenge on the man who lent money off him.
We have a winner.......
I have still to see the Mickey Rooney version of Puck but have seen the Iain Holm version and he fitted everything i love about the character. No matter what he's in, could be 5th Element, Lord of the Rings or the Borrowers, he can pick up the qualities in characters which make them enjoyable to watch!

does rockstar confirms the map size as said in the article?
i bet it wont be big as they claim.
Gameworld supposedly larger than combination of Rockstar's past games; players can switch between three protagonists at "nearly any time."
The news flood for Grand Theft Auto V continues. The digital edition of Game Informer's December issue was released today, and Kotaku reports that it bears numerous news nuggets about the upcoming open-world action game.
The first is a claim that the gameworld of GTAV is larger than Red Dead Redemption, GTA: San Andreas, and GTAIV combined. The game's fictional Los Santos setting reportedly includes wilderness, a military base, and an explorable underwater ocean floor.
Additionally, the game's three protagonists are named Michael, Trevor, and Franklin. Players can switch between them at "nearly any time," the magazine suggests. Further, these characters will sometimes work together, with players able to swap back and forth in a similar way to the Lego series of games.
On top of that, Michael, Trevor, and Franklin each have a distinct personality, skill set, and posse of friends. When players are controlling one of the characters, the other two will leave and do something else on their own.
Similar to Red Dead Redemption, GTAV will have randomized missions and events. These include events surrounding hitchhikers, dead bodies, muggers, and others to be named later. Lastly, the GTAV gameworld will include some sort of an economy, though players will not be able to purchase properties.
Rockstar Games last week confirmed that GTAV will ship for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 during spring 2013. Preorders for the game opened this week at select retailers in the United States and Europe. The game's second trailer will arrive November 14.
For more on GTAV, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.

Decided to finally try a slim jean & I am sooooooooooooo glad I did, I would order a size smaller b/c they seem to run a bit larger then normal but I am soooooo glad Avenue carries "Tall" jeans. Please don't ever stop selling them.
slim leg jean
By Trixie
from Pismo Beach, CA
I like the simple style of these jeans but they do run large so maybe order a size down? Very comfortable.
Perfect Fit!
By Mz. Hunt
from St . Louis, MO
I prefer this sytle and wished that it could be a regular stock in all pants because of my thin ankles and wide midsection. These tall jeans are a great fit for my 5'9.5 height as well.
Great jeans!
By Ruby
from Minnesota
These jeans fit perfectly. When I think how much time I've spent in dressing rooms trying to find long enough jeans that fit and are flattering, compared to ordering these jeans, no fuss no muss, easy as can be, I know I'll be getting other colors, and maybe another black pair just to have as a back up. No more depressing bouts in the dressing room for me!They are very comfortable, slimming and best of all, as another reviewer pointed out, the waist is somehow constructed in a way that avoids giving you the dreaded muffin top.Three final words. Buy. These. Jeans.

these are nice
By ltg

all i can say is if you want them to fit like the picture, order a size down. i wear a true 22T at avenue. and these are fitted but loose not like the picture. i have a smaller waist and larger backside. i always have problems with alot of material in front. but these jeans not so much. if i had ordered a 20T they would fit like the picture but i dont like tight so im happy with the fit.
Great Jeans!
By Link

Love, love, love these jeans! Not only do they fit great but they also look great! I have worn them to work for casual days, to run around town, or just to sit back and relax with friends. Finally a pair of jeans that I enjoy wearing!! Thanks!

"Sins of the Night"
Yes I would.
When Danger and Alexion are in the hotel room and he wakes her with a rose. It's sweet and tender, like both of them when they're with each other.
He used different accents for the different characters, so you knew who was talking and who they were talking to.
I laughed at certain parts but didn't cry. It was a great listen, as all of the Dark Hunter books are.
The only thing that would've made it better was to be read by Holter Graham. He's my absolute favorite.
"Daytime Soap in Texas"
Holy cowpies Batman!
Obviously the night that Breed and Grace met. Everything unraveled in Breed's life from there, poor guy.
He gives each character their own voice that matched their personalitlies.
When Grace finally found the man that killed her step mom.
"Oi Vey"
The narrator wasn't as good as the others I"ve listened to and I give them a lot of room, as a studderer who hates public speaking. So, he was ok, but I probably should read the book. It sounded great from the parts that I paid attention to
I liked how Ann came out of her shell when confronted by Josha (Not a typo) and his family. It's nice to see her morph into a strong woman.
Probably not. I'm really picky and they have to live up to Holter Graham, Ray Porter, and Luke Daniels.
Duck when the Russian wolves attack.
"A great start"
It's the beginning of the Alpha and Omega series and explains a lot of the relationship between Charles and Anna. Holter Graham is the best narrator on the planet so that's another reason. Even though Anna's circumstances are awful in the beginning, it turns out ok in the end.
That Charles wasn't calm unless Anna was near him.
He's the best narrator on the planet. Nuff said.
Yes, but work, kids, and family keeps getting in the way!
"Angels, Vampires, and Lycans oh my!"
It's in the top ten. Most of my top ten are wriitten by Sherrilyn Kenyon (Dark Hunter series or CoN series read by Holter Graham) or Jonathan Maberry (Joe Ledger series read by Ray Porter), but this one's in there! It's an interesting twist on the fallen angel concepts and the origin of vampires and Lycans.
In terms of originality, I'd compare it to Born of Shadows or Time Untime by Sherrilyn Kenyon. In terms of utilizing mythology, it compares to the Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne. I love all those series and they're all interesting and original in their own right. This one is completely original from all the other books I read or listened to. That's a rarity with romance or science fiction.
i have listened to Luke Daniels. Even though he's always going to be Atticus O'Sullivan to me, he's really stretching his talents by doing this one. He's done well differentiating characters from the narrator voice of the story. It's awesome to hear him develop his talent.
I wish they had Mr. Daniels narrate the other book. I only get the ones read by men, and even then, I only listen to a select few. Mr. Daniels is one of the few. The next book is read by a women, so I'll be buying it, but if you don't have those hang ups, I would definately get the next book.
"How Much is Enough"
I didn't read the print version. Honestly, I don't want to. The audio is amazing.
Seal Team Six, Lions of Kandahar, No Easy Day. They're all stories about what has happened in the many wars that have happened since the towers fell.
My favorite scene has to be when the guys "liberate" Morgan from the hospital. It's typical guys cracking on each other, even though they're one side step close to the grave and they don't even care. Their brother's down and they're going to get him better. The way they take care of him cracks me up.
This one didn't make me cry, like some of the other ones have. It had a lot of humor in it, that you'd expect from soldiers. All joking aside, this was a good one and well written. Not only that, it was well narrated. To all soldiers out there, thank you for your service.
"Stupid Yellow Birds"
Kleenex, Advil, and weeping
Bartle. Poor kid never knew what was coming and couldn't even stop it if he had. Damn war, makes messes of all their lives.
You know, I didn't have a favorite scene. It's damn hard to pick a favorite scene when the whole story is so sad and depressive. The fact that it's a completely honest look at what could happen to all our troops when they get home from the war makes it all the worse. Fiction or not, it's crippling.
That being said, it really makes you think about how to treat our soldiers when they get home. Thank you all for your service. It's never enough, but I'll never stop saying it.
No. There's only so much sadness I can handle in one sitting. It's a great story, but I wept through most of it so much that I gave myself many migranes. The saddest part is that the soldiers fighting can't take a break when the war gets too much for them to handle.
This one isn't for the weak of heart, but if you've got someone fighting, you need to hear this one. It may be too late for some who have been diagnosed with PTSD, which is what I think Bartle has, but being sensitive to it and helping when you can will help. This one will make you want to take breaks often, but keep coming back to it. It's got a good ending, even if it's heart breaking to get through.
"Hell Week and Beyond"
Whether this was ficticious or not (depending upon the controversy surrounding this book), the detail to the training and the personal lives of the SEALs really helps make them real instead of superior heros to the modern man. The fact that there's regular emotion, sadness, divorce, and life beyond the SEAL team really helps make the characters in the book relatable to the average person.
SEAL Team Outcasts, No Easy Day- they're written the same way and make you grateful that these men and women are willing to put their lives on the line for the rest of us, who they don't owe anything to. Thank you to all the servicemen and women. Thanks Chad and Daniel.
I have all of the Joe Ledger series because Mr. Porter read it. This one is awesome, just like the rest. Mr. Porter is #2 on my list of favorites.
There were moments of personal loss in this SEAL's life that made me sad, but I won't ruin it for you. The fact that they give up literally everything to fight for us... it's just too much sometimes.
"Cat in the Hat Rocks"
My boys (aged 2 and 5) love this book. The characterizations that the different actors give make them want to listen to it over and over. They love listening to it while they are playing, laying down, and in the car. They've got some of it memorized because of the actors. They love it.
The boys loved everything.
The different voices, the rhymning, pretty much everything.
"No Easy Day"
I didn't bother reading this book. I jumped the second I found out it was on Audible and that Mr. Graham was reading it. This one is going to be historical, regardless of the controversy it is facing right now.
Seal Team Six, Seal Team Six Outcasts mainly because they're very detailed in the intensive training and planning that goes into each mission. Even though the result is that the target of the training is dead, it doesn't happen overnight. This unique behind the scenes look at how these missions are handled is very eye opening for the general public. I tend to put these guys on pedistals and think they just go in guns blazing, but it's not like that at all. They're very precise and accurate. It's amazing how much restraint they have while doing these missions.
He's the best narrator on the planet. That's it.
I cried in certain parts because I am a supporter of the troops, but not any war ever. When they got home, I cried. Some of our men and women never make it home, so to hear that all the troops connected to this mission made it home made me smile.
Yesterday is the only easy day. Support the troops, even if you don't like the war. Remember they've got family here at home. Thanks Chad and Daniel.
"Nice Jail Lover Story"
Ok, so it's in the middle. It had a lot of violence, of course, because it's set in a prision filled with men. The violence, though, leads to the main characters falling more in love with each other. You know the twist is coming at the end, and you hope that Aleron doesn't betray Jasak, but then it wouldn't have that good ending, would it?
I liked how Jasak was finally able to keep his honor and Aleron without guilt. I felt so bad for him throughout the whole story.
He differentated the characters well. That's my biggest peeve when narrators don't do that, but Mr. LeFleur does it well.
