About to complete my first 28 day Cycle after a long break. I followed a mon,wed,fri,sun med/hi pattern which is not helping with the peak day. I did primarily flow fit and cool down, mobility exercises.
I go to several martial arts classes, it is key i attend on a mon and Wednesday evening which can be open to surprises. It could be gruelling conditioning, sparring or a light technical session. Hence, it is hard to know the weighting before the session.
Does anyone have any ideas how to implement the 4 day cycle when you don't know what to expect on the evening? One thing for sure is the current one day rest is tiring.
Thanks for any tips...

All students in third grade and up in District 181 may soon have iPads provided by the district, under a plan by an initiative committee.
Teachers and administrators support the plan, which calls for students in third and sixth grades to receive iPads in the fall of 2012. The rollout would continue with students in fourth and seventh grades in 2013, and fifth and eighth grades in 2014.
The committee explored options for student learning that would promote creativity, problem-solving and educational risk-taking through the innovative use of technology.
The Hinsdale-Clarendon Hills Elementary District 181 Board is scheduled to discuss at the plan its meeting at 7 p.m. June 25 at Elm School, 15W201 60th St., Burr Ridge.
As part of its study, the committee conducted research in fifth-grade classes at The Lane, Elm and Madison schools.
Anticipated increased costs for providing the iPads are: $284,628 in 2012-13; $277,278 in 2013-14; $418,412 in 2014-15; $292,495 in 2015-16; and $292,495 in 2016-17. Costs for those final two years will be used to replace the earliest-purchased equipment.
The committee also is recommending funding for three additional help desk technicians to support the iPads and $53,000 for substitutes to facilitate a coaching role for staff members, who would spend some time instructing others.
The estimated staff costs represent an increase of $189,506 in 2012-13; $194,966 in 2013-14; $200,645 in 2014-15; $177, 551 in 2015-16; and $183,693 in 2016-17.
While the iPad recommendation certainly isn't an inexpensive proposition, implementation would reduce some of the computer-related expenditures, said Janet Stutz, assistant superintendent for Learning.
"There are other computers we wouldn't purchase with this; a lot of it is reorganization," Stutz said. "This really is about access to content; creating a learning environment that goes beyond the classroom."
Stutz said that while most of District 181's students have access to computers at home, providing them with iPads makes for a different experience.
"This would allow having a teacher facilitate as you go along," she said. "It's possible in the future the need for some textbooks could be eliminated, as materials become available in a digital format."
Stutz said she believes iPads are preferable to laptops in the classroom because iPads allow for better focusing by students.
"And when it's open so that the teachers can see what's on there all the time, that's probably better for the students, too," she said.
The potential loss by students of iPads, or the breaking of them, is a consideration. But Stutz said she doesn't look at it as a major concern.
"Kids have grown up with digital and technology," she said. "They have learned to take pretty good care of things like this."

Yellow! (Hellow)
Before you go ahead and read the rest of this post… please read the disclaimer first :)
1. I can has bad english. :P
2. I'm not going to be very detail and skip the whole itinerary update.
3. I might be wrong. or right.
4. You are entitled to agree or disagree.
What is wrong with Malaysia?
- Everything.
- I highly suggest travelling for those of you who've not been outside of Malaysia.
A simple visit to Singapore, might just open your eyes. The way our neighbors are governing their people and resources are highly intelligent. If you think Malaysia is perfect… ask yourself this question.
a) Have you seen "Visit Malaysia" Ads in Overseas?
b) Have you seen Ads promoting other countries in Malaysia? IE : Singapore, Taiwan, Australia, Thailand… etc - Did you notice the cost of living is constantly increasing in Malaysia but our wages are not?
- Are you aware that Malaysia is in 53% Debt and may go bankrupt in the next decade if the government continue to spend on unnecessary expenditure and do not curb wastage?
- Are you one of the tax payers complaining about the 50M email project or even the cow herding drama… which is now a silent issue? Are you supportive of Lynas building a rare earth plant in Gebeng Pahang?
- Have you heard of a ring that cost 24.4Million MYR that belongs to the first lady of Malaysia? What is your view of the FLOM?
- Can you afford a property in Malaysia in the next 5 years down the road?
- Have you ever bribed a police officer? :)
- Do you think our country would have developed better in the hands of a better leader?
- Do you know how the Electoral System works in Malaysia? (And how much money was spent on improving it?)
What is wrong with the people in Malaysia? (This is a general statement.. it doesn't imply that im saying you are like that but you might be :P lalala)
- IGNORANT. Do i need to elaborate further?
- Scared/Afraid/Compliant. Most of us will do anything that will not cause us to go into any trouble; especially with PDRM. Once you're behind bars, our voices are gone and our rights as well.
- Brainwashed. Mostly by the mainstream media. People are fed with what the G wants you to hear and believe every day through the media we are so used and comfortable with. I shall not name them here.
But… above all… Malaysians are actually…
- United. The people do not know of it's power. We have been suppressed from this idea that we are living in a democratic country where the people's rights are above anything else. When the right event happens, our true color shines. We stand united with a common goal and we achieve more than what we expect.
- Harmonious. Malays, Indians, Chinese, and all the other races. At the end of the day, we are all humans and we belong in Malaysia. The only differences are our cultural background. Our blood is red, and our home is here.
- Warm and peaceful. It is so easy to crack a chatter with anyone in Malaysia. We treat each other like family. And we care for our family members.
The reasons why I attend Bersih 3.0
1. The fact that Dataran Merdeka was locked down.
Just look at all the other countries where bersih 3.0 happened. Was there any chaos? Any Riot?
The rally was meant to be peaceful and will be as such if DBKL have given their co-op to the organizers regarding this matter.
The permit wasn't obtained to held Bersih 3.0 at DM… and the reason given was that it is not a national event. Bersih 3.0 is for a clean and fair elections in the next GE, in what degree is that not national?
3 layers of Razor Wires were deployed to barricade entrance to Dataran Merdeka. Are we some sort of criminals and is there a need to do so?
A permit to held bersih 3.0 will be given if the organizers agree to held this in Stadium Bukit Jalil. Can Bukit jalil stadium hold 300 000 people in the first place?
2. I am sick of tired of complaining in facebook. It is time to make a change.
Some argued, if you want to make a change… VOTE.
Well, hell yeah i will.
The question is… Is the Electoral System in Malaysia Clean and fair in the first place? And is it TOO much to ask for a clean and fair Electoral System?
Let me reiterate the 8 demands of Bersih 1, 2 and 3
1. Clean the electoral roll
The electoral roll is marred with irregularities such as deceased persons and multiple persons registered under a single address or non-existent addresses. The electoral roll must be revised and updated to wipe out these 'phantom voters'. The rakyat have a right to an electoral roll that is an accurate reflection of the voting population.
2. Reform postal ballot
The current postal ballot system must be reformed to ensure that all citizens of Malaysia are able to exercise their right to vote. Postal ballot should not only be open for all Malaysian citizens living abroad, but also for those within the country who cannot be physically present in their voting constituency on polling day. Police, military and civil servants too must vote normally like other voters if not on duty on polling day.
The postal ballot system must be transparent. Party agents should be allowed to monitor the entire process of postal voting.
3. Use of indelible ink
Indelible ink must be used in all elections. It is a simple, affordable and effective solution in preventing voter fraud.
4. Minimum 21 days campaign period
The EC should stipulate a campaign period of not less than 21 days. A longer campaign period would allow voters more time to gather information and deliberate on their choices.
5. Free and fair access to media
It is no secret that the Malaysian mainstream media fails to practice proportionate, fair and objective reporting for political parties of all divide.
6. Strengthen public institutions
Public institutions must act independently and impartially in upholding the rule of law and democracy.
7. Stop corruption
Corruption is a disease that has infected every aspect of Malaysian life. We demand that serious action is taken against ALL allegations of corruption, including vote buying.
8. Stop dirty politics
Malaysians are tired of dirty politics that has been the main feature of the Malaysian political arena.
3. I have decided it's time to see things with my own eyes, than to read and experience everything behind monitors (or TV/Newspapers)
To know that other fellow Malaysians were brave enough to fight for their future, i know that i can do it too.
Yes, i am afraid just like you, if i end up behind bars or something. Or if i die from suffocation or sudden violence from the police (from what i've read in Bersih 2.0).
But let me tell you something.
I am more afraid that my future and my children's future will be non existent if the country continues to be lead by the wrong hands. I am afraid that we will no longer enjoy our current luxuries because the country's economy will no longer prosper once it is in huge debt.
More importantly, I'm afraid, i no longer have a place to call home.
Bare in mind, i am not pro or against any political party.
I have plenty more reasonings and explanations to why i attended bersih 3.0. But i'll leave that to our personal conversations over teh tarik or something. I have to say my eyes have not been functioning well after the rally thanks to the tear gas that caused me to have runny nose for 2 days straight. blergh.
I have been trying to construct this post in my mind for the past 2 days but i've decided to just keep it straight to the point. On Saturday itself, i saw a few comments posted on my social media feeds that really makes me sad, most of it commenting that they rather do something more beneficial than to attend a rally that jams up the entire KL. Someday my child, i hope you wake up, and see the truth.
Here's signing off with a really inspirational speech by the Sydney Parliamentary on Bersih :) click HERE :)

NASA to Conduct Flight of Space Shuttle Enterprise Near Landmarks off Hoboken, Jersey City | |
2:23:17 PM, Friday, April 20, 2012 | |
�The aircraft that helped launch the country into the next round of space exploration is scheduled to fly over the Hudson River on Monday.Right before a successful transport of the space shuttle Discovery to the nation�s capitol on Tuesday, NASA announced this week that the 747 shuttle-carrier aircraft -- with shuttle Enterprise on top -- will fly at a relatively low altitude over parts of the area on Monday.The agency said that the Federal Aviation Administration is coordinating the flight, which is tentatively scheduled to occur between 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. on Monday.�If all goes as planned, the aircraft is expected to fly near a variety of landmarks in the metropolitan area, including the Statue of Liberty and the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum. When the flyover is complete, the SCA will land at John F. Kennedy International Airport,� said the agency in a release.The exact route of the flight will not be determined until NASA sees what kind of weather Hudson County is experiencing on Monday�� | |
-- If you're in the NYC area don't miss the photo-op when the 747 shuttle-carrier aircraft will fly Enterprise over the Hudson and near other landmarks in the area!!!Scheduled to occur between 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. on Monday! | |

Shuttle Discovery Retires with Washington Flypast | |
2:01:56 PM, Friday, April 20, 2012 | |
�(BBC 17 April 2012) One of Nasa's retired space shuttles has made a dramatic flypast over the centre of the US capital on the way to its final resting place in a museum.Discovery flew over the monuments along the National Mall in Washington DC at about 10:00 EST (14:00 GMT).Piggy-backing on a modified Boeing 747, Discovery was flying at an altitude of about 1,500ft (457m), Nasa said.The shuttle programme ended in 2011. Discovery will be on show at the Air and Space Museum in Virginia.After circling four times over the Washington Monument, and passing the National Mall over Capitol Hill, the shuttle landed at Dulles Airport, a few miles outside Washington DC.From there it will be towed to the nearby Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, where it will be on permanent display.During the flypast, onlookers lined the roofs of the capital's buildings and the route to the airport, wanting to catch a glimpse of the shuttle.Earlier, crowds of onlookers gathered along the Florida shoreline as dawn broke on Tuesday to see the shuttle take off from Kennedy Space Center.Cheers broke out from the estimated 2,000-strong crowd as the aircraft left the runway, the Associated Press reported�� | |

Asteroid Craters Could Provide Clue to Life on Mars | |
1:58:20 PM, Friday, April 20, 2012 | |
�The chances of finding life on Mars could be improved by looking in craters made by asteroids, according to a study.Scientists at the University of Edinburgh said organisms had been discovered thriving deep underneath a site in the US where an asteroid crashed 35 million years ago.They believe such craters provide refuge for microbes.The findings suggest that crater sites on other planets may be "hiding life".To find the microbes, researchers drilled almost 2km below one of the largest asteroid impact craters on Earth, in Chesapeake, US.Samples from below ground showed that microbes are unevenly spread throughout the rock, suggesting that the environment is continuing to settle 35 million years after impact�� | |

Neutrinos Put Cosmic Ray Theory on Ice | |
1:55:52 PM, Friday, April 20, 2012 | |
�(April 20, 2012 Phys.org) A telescope buried beneath the South Pole has failed to find any neutrinos accompanying exploding fireballs in space, undermining a leading theory of how cosmic rays are born.IceCube, a detector made up of 5,160 optical sensors embedded up to 2.5km deep in the Antarctic ice, searched for evidence of neutrinos emitted from 300 fireballs, known as gamma ray bursts, observed between May 2008 and April 2010.In Nature the team behind the experiments report that the search did not find a single neutrino, a result that challenges the idea that cosmic rays originate from gamma ray bursts (GRBs).Cosmic rays are electrically charged particles, such as protons, that strike Earth from all directions, with energies up to one hundred million times higher than those created in manmade particle accelerators. Understanding their origins would provide crucial insights into the most energetic phenomena in the Universe.Professor Subir Sarkar of Oxford University�s Department of Physics, who leads the UK involvement in IceCube, said: �Although this is a negative result it illustrates that cosmic neutrino detection has come of age � IceCube has achieved the necessary sensitivity to neutrino fluxes expected from likely sources of cosmic rays. It should not be long now before we find the real sources.�The finding is likely to focus attention on the other prime candidate for creating cosmic rays: the massive black holes found at the centre of active galaxies.�The result of this neutrino search is significant because for the first time we have an instrument with sufficient sensitivity to open a new window on cosmic ray production and the interior processes of GRBs,� said IceCube spokesperson and University of Maryland physics professor Greg Sullivan. �The unexpected absence of neutrinos from GRBs has forced a reevaluation of the theory for production of cosmic rays and neutrinos in a GRB fireball and possibly the theory that high energy cosmic rays are generated in fireballs.��Although we have not discovered where cosmic rays come from, we have taken a major step towards ruling out one of the leading predictions,� said IceCube principal investigator, and University of Wisconsin - Madison physics professor, Francis Halzen.� | |

Juice Leads Billion-Euro Space Race to Jupiter | |
10:57:11 PM, Wednesday, April 18, 2012 | |
�A proposal to study Jupiter's icy moons is now the front runner to be chosen as a billion-euro space mission.However, formal selection of the concept will have to wait until a key European space committee meets to discuss the various contenders in May.The Juice mission would launch in 2022 and would help assess whether Jupiter's moons could support life.It has been up against two other concepts in the European Space Agency's (Esa) Cosmic Vision competition.The Juice (JUpiter ICy moon Explorer) proposal envisages an instrument-packed, near five-tonne satellite at launch that would be sent out to the Solar System's biggest planet, to make a careful investigation of three of its Galilean moons.The spacecraft would use the gravity of the gas giant to initiate a series of close flybys around Callisto, Europa, and then finally to put itself in a settled orbit around Ganymede.Emphasis would be put on "habitability" - in trying to understand whether there is any possibility that these moons could host microbial life.The other mission concepts that have been up against Juice are Athena, which would be the biggest X-ray telescope ever built; and NGO, which would place a trio of high-precision satellites in space to detect gravitational waves.Esa's Space Science Advisory Committee (SSAC) met earlier this month to consider the different ideas.Its thoughts were then passed to the agency's executive, which has now tabled a formal proposal to member states, nominating Juice as the preferred mission to be implemented.The 19 member-state delegations will have the final say during a gathering of the agency's Science Programme Committee (SPC) in Paris on 2 May. Selection requires a simple majority vote.It is possible the SPC could decide to go against the executive, but there is wide expectation that it will accept the recommendation�� | |

3D Printers Could Create Customised Drugs on Demand | |
10:39:44 PM, Wednesday, April 18, 2012 | |
�Scientists are pioneering the use of 3D printers to create drugs and other chemicals at the University of Glasgow.Researchers have used a �1,250 system to create a range of organic compounds and inorganic clusters - some of which are used to create cancer treatments.Longer term, the scientists say the process could be used to make customised medicines.They predict the technique will be used by pharmaceutical firms within five years, and by the public within 20."We are showing that you can take chemical constituents, pass them through a printer and create what is effectively a chemical synthesiser in which the reaction occurs allowing you to get out something different at the end," researcher Mark Symes told the BBC."We're extrapolating from that to say that in the future you could buy common chemicals, slot them into something that 3D prints, just press a button to mix the ingredients and filter them through the architecture and at the bottom you would get out your prescription drug."'Revolutionising healthcare'The 3D printing process involves the use of a robotically controlled syringe which builds an object out of a gel-based "ink", into which chemicals and catalysts are mixed."Chemists normally put chemicals in glassware to create a reaction," said Prof Lee Cronin, who came up with the idea�� | |

Two Neutrons at the Same Time: Discovery of Dineutron Decay | |
9:45:49 PM, Tuesday, April 17, 2012 | |
�(Phys.org, April 12, 2012) -- Nuclear physicists recently witnessed an atomic nucleus do something that nobody had ever seen one do before � two neutrons at the same time.Emitting them, that is.The experiment revealed a brand new form of nuclear decay, the process by which unstable atoms release energy and transform into more stable forms. But instead of emitting known patterns of radiation, the nucleus ejected two correlated neutrons simultaneously � a dineutron. Though physicists had long theorized about the existence of this form of decay, this was the first experiment to see the dineutron event in action.�We have for the first time unambiguously observed dineutron decay and clearly identified it in beryllium-16,� said Artemis Spyrou, professor of nuclear physics.The newly discovered dineutron decay mode joins the 15 other known forms of atomic decay, including double proton emission, double beta decay and double positron emission. The results hold promise to strengthen scientists� understanding of the strong force that holds nuclei together and the processes taking place within neutron stars.The researchers caught the act red-handed. Beryllium-16 is an unbound, unstable isotope with 4 protons and 12 neutrons that decays in less than a trillionth of a second. To produce the extremely short-lived nucleus, the physicists smashed a beam of boron-17 into a solid target, occasionally knocking out a proton and forming the desired beryllium-16�� | |

Engineered Stem Cells Seek out and Kill HIV in Living Mice | |
9:42:28 PM, Tuesday, April 17, 2012 | |
�ScienceDaily (Apr. 12, 2012) � Expanding on previous research providing proof-of-principle that human stem cells can be genetically engineered into HIV-fighting cells, a team of UCLA researchers have now demonstrated that these cells can actually attack HIV-infected cells in a living organism.The study, published April 12 in the journal PLoS Pathogens, demonstrates for the first time that engineering stem cells to form immune cells that target HIV is effective in suppressing the virus in living tissues in an animal model, said lead investigator Scott G. Kitchen, an assistant professor of medicine in the division of hematology and oncology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a member of the UCLA AIDS Institute."We believe that this study lays the groundwork for the potential use of this type of an approach in combating HIV infection in infected individuals, in hopes of eradicating the virus from the body," he said.In the previous research, the scientists took CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocytes -- the "killer" T cells that help fight infection -- from an HIV-infected individual and identified the molecule known as the T cell receptor, which guides the T cell in recognizing and killing HIV-infected cells. However, these T cells, while able to destroy HIV-infected cells, do not exist in great enough quantities to clear the virus from the body. So the researchers cloned the receptor and used this to genetically engineer human blood stem cells. They then placed the engineered stem cells into human thymus tissue that had been implanted in mice, allowing them to study the reaction in a living organism.The engineered stem cells developed into a large population of mature, multi-functional HIV-specific CD8 cells that could specifically target cells containing HIV proteins. The researchers also discovered that HIV-specific T cell receptors have to be matched to an individual in much the same way an organ is matched to a transplant patient�� | |

Space Shuttle in Extreme Detail: Exclusive New Pictures | |
9:31:15 PM, Tuesday, April 17, 2012 | |
�(Nat. Geo.) This week NASA's space shuttle Discovery will fly low over Washington, D.C., atop a jumbo jet and roll into its new permanent home with the Smithsonian Institution.Discovery will touch down at Dulles International Airport on Tuesday, weather permitting, and the National Air and Space Museum's Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia, will host a big outdoor ceremony on Thursday to welcome their new space-worn acquisition.But once the spaceship is settled into the museum, visitors won't be able to hop into the commander's seat and fiddle with switches�the institution intends to seal up Discovery indefinitely.To provide an unprecedented look at Discovery and the other retired space shuttles, both inside and out, photographers with National Geographic recently captured more than two dozen ultrahigh-resolution, 360-degree pictures of each orbiter.NASA and United Space Alliance, the agency's prime contractor for servicing the shuttles, made the interactive panoramas possible by granting news organizations unprecedented access to the hundred-ton spaceships after each final shuttle flight."When the shuttles were flying, workers had to maintain the integrity and cleanliness of the vehicles. We had to keep them safe for spaceflight" and so couldn't allow much outside access, said Lisa Fowler, a NASA spokesperson at Kennedy Space Center in Florida."Now that they're being readied for display, we've been able to grant more access into them."The flight deck of Discovery, for instance, is shown above in a 2.74-gigapixel, zoomable image�equivalent in resolution to about 340 pictures taken with an 8-megapixel iPhone camera."It's awesome, although it doesn't look like the flight deck I flew on Discovery. That one still had old-fashioned style instrumentation," said Scott "Doc" Horowitz, a former NASA astronaut who was both a commander and pilot of Discovery."Pictures like this give you insight into just how complex it is to operate a vehicle that travels in space and pull off a manned space program," he said�� | |

Auroras Seen on Uranus For First Time | |
6:31:31 PM, Sunday, April 15, 2012 | |
�(Nat. Geo. April 13, 2012) For the first time, astronomers have snapped photos of auroras lighting up Uranus's icy atmosphere.Two fleeting, Earth-size auroral storms were imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope as they flared up on the dayside of the gas giant in November 2011."The last time we had any definite signals of auroral activity on Uranus was when NASA's Voyager 2 probe swung by in 1986," said study leader Laurent Lamy, an astronomer at the Observatoire de Paris in Meudon, France."But this is the first time we can actually see these emissions light up with an Earth-based telescope."Uranus Auroras Seen in Stroke of LuckAuroras are light displays often seen at the highest latitudes of Earth, Jupiter, and Saturn�all of which all have magnetospheres that act as shields against incoming solar storms.Auroras tend to surround a planet's poles, where magnetic field lines converge and funnel incoming charged solar particles into the planet's atmosphere. There, the particles collide with air molecules, making the molecules glow.Scientists tried unsuccessfully to detect auroras on Uranus in 1998 and 2005. In September 2011, Lamy and his team learned of an impending solar storm directed toward Uranus, which sits about 2.5 billion miles (4 billion kilometers) from Earth�� | |

Drug-Resistant Bacteria Found in 4-Million-Year-Old Cave | |
5:39:20 PM, Sunday, April 15, 2012 | |
�(Nat. Geo.) Deep in the bowels of a pristine New Mexico cave, microbiologists have discovered nearly a hundred types of bacteria that can fight off modern antibiotic drugs.The bacteria coat the walls of the Lechuguilla cave system on rock faces some 1,600 feet (487 meters) below Earth's surface. Until recently, the microscopic life-forms had encountered neither humans nor modern antibiotics.That's because a thick dome of rock isolated the cave between four and seven million years ago. Any water that trickles through takes roughly ten thousand years to reach the cave's depths�which means the subterranean life has existed entirely in the absence of modern medicine.While not infectious to humans, the cave bacteria can resist multiple classes of antibiotics, including new synthetic drugs. The discovery serves as an intriguing lead in the quest to understand how drug-resistant diseases emerge."Clinical microbiologists have been perplexed for the longest time. When you bring a new antibiotic into the hospital, resistance inevitably appears shortly thereafter, within months to years," said study leader Gerry Wright, a chemical biologist at McMaster University in Ontario."It's still a big question: Where is this coming from?" Wright said. "Almost no one thought to look at other bacteria, the ones that don't necessarily cause disease."Growing "Superbug" ProblemLechuguilla is one of the deepest and most extensive cave systems in New Mexico's Carlsbad Caverns National Park. With at least 130 miles (209 kilometers) of mapped passages, Lechuguilla is also the planet's seventh longest known cave�� | |

In First Public Speech, North Korean Leader Talks of Military Superiority | |
5:33:30 PM, Sunday, April 15, 2012 | |
�SEOUL, South Korea � In his first speech in public since assuming the leadership of North Korea, Kim Jong-un said Sunday that his �first, second and third� priorities were to strengthen the military, and he declared that superiority in military technology was �no longer monopolized by imperialists.�Mr. Kim�s speech was followed by what South Korean officials said was the North�s biggest display of weapons in a military parade, including a missile the North appeared to be presenting for the first time. While it is not clear whether it was a new long-range missile or a mock-up, its display demonstrates the importance that the North Korean government places on weapons development despite an embarrassing failure of a rocket it launched last week.South Korean officials would not comment on the North Korean missile, pending further examination.Mr. Kim�s claim to superior military technology could sound poignant, coming two days after the North Korean rocket carrying a satellite disintegrated in midair. The failure of the rocket indicated that North Korea might still have a long way to go before mastering the technology for delivering warheads atop an intercontinental ballistic missile.Mr. Kim�s speech on the 100th birthday of Kim Il-sung, his grandfather and the North�s founding president, was his public political debut. In an unexpected 20-minute speech, broadcast live inside North Korea, Mr. Kim demonstrated a new leadership style but reaffirmed his adherence to the �military first� policy of his father, Kim Jong-il, which has left North Korea locked in a prolonged confrontation with the United States and its allies�� | |

Having done upgrades from 4.0 onwards, on a OpenBSD-only server (amd64), this time something must have gone wrong: Despite of the (remote, I have no physical access, via serial console) 'successful' upgrade (no error messages), when I was asked to reboot, I did, as always. Alas, it came up with Attempting Boot From Floppy Drive (A:) Attempting Boot From CD-ROM Attempting Boot From Hard Drive (C:) Using drive 0, partition 3. Loading... ERR M on an HP ML350G4p. From all I know it is a problem with the MBR. What I'd really like to get, before I drive there and get access, is how to best solve this problem, and most straightforward. Talking about what went wrong can wait, since this is a production machine and should be back as soon as possible. Thanks in advance, Uwe
This sort of problem happens a lot. It was covered recently. You will probably be able to fix it. Search here, try ERR M http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.misc <http://blog.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.misc>http://marc.info -- A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

That is biosboot(8) telling you that it cannot find /boot, which is the boot loader that prints the boot prompt and so on. Biosboot has to be As explained above, no, you likely moved around/corrupted /boot in a way
Hmm. Actually I didn't. Through serial console, I had rebooted the server, just 'to make sure', before booting to bsd.rd, and everything went through. I rebooted again, immediately, to bsd.rd, and went through the very normal and standard procedure like umteen times before. One exception: the bsd.mp was shown as corrupted by its sha256 hash. The install program, however, continued; so that I could not rectify this. being on a multi-CPU box, in the end, it automatically copied the (corrupted) bsd.mp to bsd, which then had a size of 1.3 MB. Therefore, at the very end, after the device nodes, at the 'reboot now' prompt, I ftp-ed a correct version from another location into there, and cp-ed it into bsd. Then, strangely enough, suddenly there appeared a bsd.sp of a size of 0, which had not been there before. I found this quite strange, both the installer going through despite of the wrong hash; and more so the (new?) automatic move of bsd.mp to bsd on a multicore machine; though the size was wrong. And in the end, a '0'-sized bsd.sp after moving in a healthy bsd.mp. I would not totally exclude an interference of this (new?) code that lead to the described situation. Honestly, nothing at all done in that session aside from what I wrote, between the 2 boots. I guess, nothing of what I did should hurt the /boot? Thanks for the reply. I'll go there next to try what has been proposed. Before I try, in case the # /usr/*m*dec/installboot -v boot /*usr/mdec*/biosboot sd0 does NOT work, what else could I do? (I am asking, because it is a server room quite far away, with little chance for me to communicate, and difficult to go.) So, is there any alternative, or additional, solution to fall back to, when I am there, and installboot doesn't cut it? Uwe
On Mon, Mar 22, 2010 at 09:59:20PM +0800, Uwe Dippel wrote: Well, re-install. The installer does it the same way.
actually, the hash wasn't reported as "wrong", just different from what was stored in bsd.rd. there are a lot of reasons why that might be that are legit, so that's why the installer continues. It is up to you to determine "I know why the hashes didn't match, so well, something did damage /boot. I doubt it was anything you did intentionally, but something also caused a bad bsd.sp to be copied over. Possibly related. May indicate system problems of some type. The upgrade process will install a new boot loader for you, but well, I'd certainly copy over a new, verified sane /boot before running it, and I'm not sure what all the asterisks are doing in there...and you better make sure you are in the right directory if you are planning on running it as you show. Might even want to wait a bit before hitting "reboot", in case something really odd, like a caching RAID controller that dumps unwritten data as part of a reboot (I really hope I'm wrong on that one...). Nick.
Okay, back. Works! But we should not stop here. Because at mounting my / on /mnt, I noticed that the /boot had also taken to a zero size. Like that bsd.sp, which was okay, but received 0 after copying bsd.mp to bsd. What would now make /boot zero? /usr/mdec/installboot -v boot /usr/mdec/biosboot sd0 says something like boot: boot proto: /usr/mdec/biosboot device:/dev/rsd0c no error message, but /boot is still '0'. Then I removed /boot, and then an error message came up: ... boot: No such file or directory Meaning, it couldn't rectify the /boot of size 0. Last chance: I copied /usr/mdec/boot to /mnt/ Again: /usr/mdec/installboot -v boot /usr/mdec/biosboot sd0 boot: boot proto: /usr/mdec/biosboot device:/dev/rsd0c boot is 3 blocks x 16384 bytes fs block shift 2; offset 63; inode block 24, offset 936 using MBR partition 3: type 0xA6 offset 63 Now, this looked promising and actually worked. I still take a bet on a round of drinks that there is a bug in the recent install/upgrade code that has a tendency to render files to zero size. Thanks for all the input to get this production box back! Uwe

I will never forget the biggest spectacle I have ever witnessed. It was an overcast December day and we drove down from Ngorongoro onto the Serengeti Plains. First we saw a few animals here, a bit more there and suddenly we were driving into and amongst a herd of 300 000 blue wildebeest! Can you try to imagine a sea of animals spread out from horizon to horizon. Whether you can or can't, nothing can compare it with reality - being there, seeing them, smelling them, hearing them. At the heart of the Serengeti ecosystem lies an ancient phenomenon that is the largest movement of wildlife on earth. In pursuit of food and water, over one and a half million wildebeest and half a million zebra and antelope migrate north from the Serengeti to the adjoining Masai Mara reserve in Kenya every year.
Very important
Don't worry if you can't go in a period that coincides with the Great Migration. You will still see plenty of animals and different species in the Mara, as well as those wildebeest and zebra which choose not to join the migration. Most species do not migrate and so there is always great opportunities to observe antelop, lions, elephant, leopards, giraffes and cheetah. Remember too that it is not so expensive outside of the migration season, and you also greater availability of accommodation.
December - March
Vast herds of wildebeest spend the rainy season in the volcanic open plains below the Ngorongoro Crater and in the Southern Serengeti, where the grass growth is most productive with a high nutrient content. This area is the starting point for one of the great wonders of the world.
As the sea of grass provides little cover and the young are easy pickings for a variety of preditors, wildebeest have evolved synchronized birthing. This means about 90% of calves are born within a three week period. With such a sudden and massive surge of available food, predators do not make any significant dent in the newborn calf population. Wildebeest calves can run minutes after they are born and within three days the calves are strong enough to keep up with the herd.
April - May
As the grass becomes depleted in the Southern Serengeti the herds move towards the plains and woodlands of the Serengeti's Western Corridor. For the migrants there is a high mortality rate, due mainly to injury and fatigue, which brings in large numbers of griffon vultures. Northwest from the short grass plains is the Grumeti River, which is their first real obstacle. They also have to contend with the gigantic Nile crocodiles (growing up to 6 meters in length) that lie in wait for any hesitant wildebeest. These crocodiles are inextricably linked with the great migration, moving with surprising stealth and speed as they prey upon the thirsty herds, pausing for a drink on the banks of the river.
Following the rainfalls, the migration moves north before crossing the Kenyan border into the Masai Mara. Nothing hinders the progress of the stampeding herds, until they must cross the Mara river, again with its flotillas of hungry crocodiles. All is far from peaceful, for it is the rutting season and each male tries to establish a stamping ground. After moving westwards, the migration divides by some uncanny instinct, one group turning northeast and the other due north.
July - August - September - October
The mass of grunting wildebeests remain on the productive Mara grasslands until October or November, until a point where the ecosystem is simply too dry to support them. And then, just as the storm clouds gather in the south, the vast herds return to their breeding grounds, which are once again green and lush.
In November, the army of animals returning southward to the replenished grasslands of the southern Serengeti, completes the migratory cycle.
The migration is never precisely the same in terms of timing and direction, as local conditions influence grass growth. So the wildebeest may move off the open plains earlier in some years, and remain in the northern woodlands for longer, in others. Often the animals split into two groups as they move, resulting in one group moving on the western side and another group moving on the eastern side of the Serengeti, finally meeting up at Ndutu or in the Mara. Viewing of the migration therefore can't be guaranteed.

Recovery expected in 2013
After the significant rebound in 2010, growth slowed in 2011-2012 due to the tightening of economic policies and the slowdown in international trade. Activity could recover slightly in 2013, but GDP growth will remain below potential. Exports are not expected to be very dynamic due to the expected recession in the euro zone and weak growth in the United States, the island's main trading partner, if one considers that about 70% of Taiwanese exports to Mainland China are then re-exported to the U.S. Against this backdrop, investment will be less dynamic than before the financial crisis, particularly in the electronics and capital goods sectors, which account for over 50% of foreign sales. However, the Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement between Beijing and Taipei (ECFA) should continue to stimulate exports of machines and agricultural produce to mainland China, thanks to customs duty exemptions and reductions. Moreover, the ECFA should boost strong services sector growth, thanks to increased tourism from mainland China resulting from the introduction of direct flights between the two territories. Increasing tourist arrivals are expected to support employment, so household consumption will continue as the main growth driver and will benefit retail trade.
Meanwhile, inflation rose slightly in 2012 due to the reduction of oil and electricity subsidies and the inflationary impact of the American Federal Reserve's 3rd quantitative easing programme. Inflation will remain stable in 2013, with the rise in regulated electricity prices planned for December 2012 postponed to October 2013.
Sound financial position
The budget deficit widened slightly in 2012 within the framework of elections and will stay at the same level in 2013, President Ma having announced higher social spending. In this context, public debt will remain sustainable.
The current account surplus fell in 2012 due to poorer European and American economic performance. It could increase slightly in 2013 in a context of a weak recovery in international trade, growing numbers of tourist visitors from Mainland China and significant revenues linked to the repatriation of profits and dividends by Taiwanese investors abroad.
Meanwhile, the post-crisis period has been marked by massive capital inflows betting on the appreciation of the new Taiwanese dollar. In this context, the Financial Supervisory Commission decided to introduce several measures aimed at controlling capital inflows, particularly a measure prohibiting non-residents from holding deposits. These capital controls were maintained in 2011-2012. Despite the concerns of Taiwanese exporters hit by the appreciation of the new Taiwanese dollar, capital controls are not likely to be intensified in 2013, with those in favour of introducing a tax on short-term capital inflows in a minority. However, the Central Bank is expected to continue intervening on the foreign exchange market to limit the appreciation of the currency. In this context, it is accumulating foreign exchange reserves, which will remain at a very high level in 2013, protecting the island from a foreign exchange liquidity crisis.
Continuity of economic policies and stronger cooperation with Mainland China after the January 2012 election
The political situation is expected to remain stable after President Ma Ying-Jeou was re-elected for a second four-year term in January 2012. Moreover, the summer parliamentary elections were a success for the Kuomintang. In this context, the rapprochement policy with Mainland China (Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement between Beijing and Taipei, re-establishment of air, sea and mail links, opening of the Taiwanese stock market to Mainland Chinese investors and possibilities for banks on both sides of the straits to establish subsidiaries in the other territory) should endure, with the economic policies embedded in that continuity.

Kulkul (Galgal) – A Christmas Savory
Christmas, is a day of celebration. This is the time we seldom seek our family & friends to be alone. In my case I'm blessed with all this and I'm sure you too. I was kind of perplexed and thinking what else can make this Christmas special? Then, a stream of notions went through my mind. How will I make this a super wonderful day? Nothing can make a better Christmas than planning, making and presenting in my own thoughts.
So here I bring and share what my Christmas has been like. I wouldn't say this was my best Christmas but yes,' A Special One'. I'm very glad and happier than ever to share my wonderous Christmas to you, my friends.
Christmas started for me with wishes, love and hope all around. I wanted to make a difference within me. However, I was successful to pull in my hubby in my plan. With lots of fun & love we made this Christmas Eve everlastingly memorable. This is how we got together (Me & my Hubby) for tremendous and pleasurable savory of all time for a new Christmas.
Let me bring in some detail about what savory we have done for this Christmas? Kulkul's one of the most special & savory item that one could think of during this season. I had a lot of joint ventures previously in making them. Today, I am the happiest person to share this along with you….!
750 gms Maida, 100 gms Butter (melted), 300 gms Sugar (powdered), 2 Eggs, 1 pinch Salt, Oil for frying
How to Prepare:
Combine the eggs, salt, butter and powdered sugar in a vessel. Mix well until this is completely blended. Then, add the flour and mix all the ingredients well. Add little water at a time and prepare the dough. Leave the dough covered for an hour.
Preparing Kulkul:
Make tiny balls out of the dough and place it on the backside of the fork. Now, press the ball and roll to join the ends carefully so that they don't open up while frying.
Medium heat oil in a wok. Slowly put the kulkuls in the wok and fry till light brown. Remove them when fried and spread on a kitchen paper.
Allow them to cool down and store them in an air tight container.
Note: Make sure that the oil is not too hot which results in dark brown outer layers of kulkul and leaving them uncooked inside.
You can also make different shapes like diamond or any creative shapes you like.

Trainsong – Guitar Compositions 1967 to 2010
CD (Item 548848) Tompkins Square, 2011 — Condition: New Copy
A beautiful batch of instrumentals from British folk guitar great Michael Chapman – gorgeous, timelessly great and remarkably wide ranging material he composed from the mid 60s onward and newly recorded for this thankfully sprawling 2CD set on Tompkins Square! Tompkins Square has been a great resource for both deep, dark, many decades old recordings as well as the best and brightest modern folk guitarists since it's inception – here's a great one that's up there with the very best of their releases. Chapman plays both acoustic and electric guitars, depending on the composition – and he's a genuine original, but one who both wears his influences and pays his tributes proudly. 26 pieces on 2CDs: "The Last Polish Breakfast", "Little Molly's Dream", "Fahey's Flag", "Caddo Lake", "Slow Coach", "Stranger's Map Of Texas", "Naked Ladies And Electric Ragtime", "Sensimilia", "Extrabop", "Hi Heel Sneakers", "La Madrugada" and more. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

I've worn these shoes a couple of times. They are pretty comfortable. The only problem I have is that my feet sweat sometimes so they slide forward. That is not a reflection of the shoe though. I think if the area at the toe came back into the ball of the shoe, it would help with that problem.

[A] technical term in the game of bowls, whence come all the later uses of the word. [OED]
Walter Scott and Pope's Homer were reading of my own election, but my mother forced me, by steady daily toil, to learn long chapters of the Bible by heart; as well as to read it every syllable through, aloud, hard names and all, from Genesis to the Apocalypse, about once a year; and to that discipline -- patient, accurate, and resolute -- I owe, not only a knowledge of the book, which I find occasionally serviceable, but much of my general power of taking pains, and the best part of my taste in literature. ... [O]nce knowing the 32nd of Deuteronomy, the 119th Psalm, the 15th of 1st Corinthians, the Sermon on the Mount, and most of the Apocalypse, every syllable by heart, and having always a way of thinking with myself what words meant, it was not possible for me, even in the foolishest times of youth, to write entirely superficial or formal English .... [John Ruskin, "Fors Clavigera," 1871]

When I started acting in LA, I was constantly cast as the crying girl in plays like Chekhov's "Three Sisters," weird indie films and the occasional absurd and tragic music video.
I gave up on therapy over a decade ago because I apparently bore psychologists to sleep with my problems.
how not to be a dick
If I want to bottle up my feelings, for the love of god, let me bottle them up.
Maybe I could have created an opportunity for us to have a really nice human interaction that would leave us both feeling better afterward.
There is enough out there already to make us feel bad about ourselves without inventing yet another "thing."
hair styles
Since when did French braids get so hard?
I cried and snotted and rubbed the wet goo all over my face for hours and I still look good, y'all!
Funerals and engagement parties alike can't shake my icy resolve. Am I a robot?
And I didn't stop crying the entire game.
8th grade
They say there's no crying in baseball, but apparently there's crying in just about everything else.
Yes, women are funny, and no, I can't talk about it.
Like Nina Simone sang: holding back ain't gonna do no good.
Sometimes "sports" are less about athletics and more about how we should always try to be good ones. Even when you really don't wanna.
Books, movies and music for doing sad all by yourself.
Apparently there are only certain places where crying is socially appropriate. Yeah, screw that.

Josiah wrote:If you can prove you are right from Scriptures, I will convert. If I can prove nicea/chalcedon is right, you must convert. That's how it works, according to the rules we are both playing by. Nobody gets to decide but Scriptures alone. I believe i have been careful not to place any authority in the antiquity, or authority, or majesty of that council. The fact that so many people have agreed with the decision certainly does place the burden of proof with the detractors of their findings, it wouldn't be the first time that truth has stood on the side of a sharp minority (e.g. Athanasius, Luther, J. Gresham Machen).
I don't have time to deal with this topic now, but we can put it on our "to do" list in the future. I would be interested to know how you came to believe that the Trinity is not Scriptural.
Now, in fairness, he said he didn't have time to deal with this right now, but I figured I'd start the thread anyway and wait on him to join.
Regarding my title, my question is, let's assume that Nicea never happened. We never had the political clout, influence, freedom, whatever to gather this many in one place to discuss our respective views on our interpretation of Scripture. None of the early councils allowed us to determine what the "the most popular view" (ie orthodox view) of "Christendom" was. Let's assume that Origen, Justin Martyr, Arius, Eusebius of Caesarea, Athanasius, and many other early apologists were still alive today, arguing the same thing they argued back then. Let's even assume that some of those Biblical converts like those in Antioch in Acts 11:26 or even the thief on the cross were still alive today with their respective measure of wisdom/faith. Would we have the authority to call some of them "Christians" yet withhold the title from others? If so, why? And would Christ Himself condone this practice?

Sarasota city commissioners will discuss wayfinding project
Date: January 21, 2013
by: Roger Drouin | City Editor
At the City Commission meeting Tuesday, city commissioners will discuss a long-planned wayfinding project.
City staff will present an update on the project that would add hundreds of new signs throughout downtown and along the city's major roadways.
In October, city commissioners asked city staff to slash 40% of the cost from the $1.26-million project.
Commissioners will also discuss a possible change that would require dog owners to keep their dogs on a leash at Payne Park. Such a leash law is not in place at the park. Commissioners will also consider the possibility of adding a separate dog park within Payne Park.
At the meeting Tuesday, commissioners will also hear an update on performer Nik Wallenda's plan to hirewire walk across U.S. 41 on the bayfront.
Wallenda wants to do the stunt without a safety harness, according to Circus Sarasota promotional material for the event.
The event, however, is far from definite. Circus Sarasota on Monday contacted city officials about the event. The group would need approval from both the city and the Florida Department of Transportation before planning the event.
The proposed walk would be about 15 stories high across U.S. 41 from downtown to the bayfront near the Unconditional Surrender sculpture.

SeaWorld Orlando unveils car for new Antarctica ride
SeaWorld Orlando has unveiled its ride vehicle and other details about its upcoming Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin ride. The theme park's largest new attraction to date features a trackless system that allows riders to select a high or low intensity ride.
The Antarctica ride will operate on an industry-first ride system, Morrow said. It combines a mobile simulator platform and a trackless navigation system, he said. It allows us the flexibility and the unpredictability to create a ride that's highly variable, which is really what we wanted.
"Each time you ride this you actually will have no idea which path you're going to get," Morrow said.
The ride cars are being introduced at the annual International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Expo, which runs through Friday. The event is a show-and-tell of fun and games destined for theme parks and similar attractions.
The "voyage" through Antarctica ends at SeaWorld's penguin colony, the largest outside Antarctica. Because barriers are minimal guests can "walk with the penguins," he says. Though they're not close enough to touch.
Morrow isn't divulging the technology behind the ride, but says designers got inspiration from automated vehicles used at the Cleveland Clinic.
Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin is scheduled to open next spring.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......
there is something you must always remember.
You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.
is sleeeeepy!!!I am:
Re: SeaWorld Orlando unveils car for new Antarctica ride
I'll have the high intensity one please!

1. | euphemism | ||
1. the substitution of a milder, vaguer word or expression for one considered to be offensive or unpleasant.
2. the word or expression so substituted. "Put to sleep" is a euphemism for "kill".
2. | euphemism | ||
trying to make the mean things you say sound nicer by using different words "let's just be friends" is nice for "no, fuck off"
3. | euphemism | ||
A word people use because they like deceiving themselves to believe we live in a Utopia.
Mostly they're used by organizations and "considerate" people who don't want to offend the "situationally disturbed" citizens. George Carlin, a comedian, did a great schpiel about euphemisms once. (A few of the following examples are in his speech.) You should read it. It may not "open your eyes," but you'll realize how much we like to disguise our speech and blind ourselves. Disguising a condition with nicer, longer words doesn't change the fact that you still have the condition. Sorry. (Note: Not all examples {e.g. black/white} are "conditions" or negative at all} IMO, There's nothing wrong with most of the following conditions; they just warrant a euphemism because society can't accept reality. Many are unavoidable.
I just call 'em like I see em. Nobody: is old, they're elderly senior citizens. is gay, they're homosexual. is poor, they're in poverty. is black, they're African American. is white, they're Caucasian. is fat, they're obese. is a slut, they're promiscuous. is crippled, they're handicapped. is deaf, they're hearing impaired. is blind, they're visually impaired. is retarded, they're mentally challenged. is short, they're vertically challenged. is stupid, they're academically challenged. I could go on. |
4. | euphemism | ||
A word used in place of another to make the listener feel more comfortable, and to make the user more socially acceptable. "Your mother and I had meetings between the sheets last fortnight"
When what you want to say is - "I fucked you mamma until she stained the sheets last night, bitch! " |
5. | Euphemism | ||
A way to make a word or sentence sound nicer than how it really is, used commonly to make the other person seem more comfortable around you. Sentence Euphemism's
"Me and your sister had a connection in the bed last night which made me excited." is a euphemisim What you really mean to say is: "I fucked your sister last night, she knows how to cause an orgasm, thats for sure." "I not attracted to Rebecca." is a euphemism What you really mean to say is: "Rebecca is one fucking ugly bitch." "I think Jessi is pretty." is a euphemisim What you really mean to say is: "I would sure like to have sex with Jessi." "I dont like country music." is a euphemism What you really mean to say is: "Country music sucks dick I hate it." -------------------------------------------------------------------- Word Euphemisms Darn and Dang are euphemisms for the word Damn Frick is a euphemism for the word Fuck Crap is a euphemism for the word Shit Crotch is a euphemism for the word Dick Butt is a euphemism for the word Ass Oh My Gosh is a euphemism for Oh My God Chi Chi is a euphemism for the word Boob Pee is a euphemism for the word piss |
6. | Euphemism | ||
Sometimes spelled with an f, as in eufemism.
Trying to make the mean things you say sound nicer (example 2) or making a mild comment you make sound even worse by adding you were just using an euphemism (example 1). 1.
Jack: o my God, I really hate that Grace-woman! Why is she coming over instead of DROPPING DEAD? Karen: o come on, she's not that bad. Jack: she is! And I'm telling her, just wait. Grace: hi guys! Jack: I'm really sorry, Grace, but I just don't like you very much. And that is really just an euphemism. Bye bye now! Grace: o my God! I'm outta here! 2. Pete: okay, well, it's not the best painting in the world... Joan: yeah, nice euphemism, Pete. This is without a doubt the worst painting I have ever seen. Seriously, even a two-year-old would do a much better job! |
7. | Euphemism | ||
trying to make the mean things you say sound nicer by using different words
"let's just be friends" is nice for "no, I don't want to go out with you. You're a loser." ( euphemism )

Afghan President Hamid Karzai will meet with President Barack Obama on Friday to discuss the post-2014 American presence in Afghanistan.
The U.S. military has already given Obama options under which as few as 6,000 or as many as 20,000 soldiers would remain in Afghanistan after 2014. Those forces would work as advisers to the Afghan army and mount special operations raids against the Taliban and al Qaeda.
But on Tuesday, Ben Rhodes, the White House's deputy national security adviser, told reporters that the Obama administration is mulling the idea of removing all U.S. troops from Afghanistan after the NATO combat mission finishes at the end of 2014.
This may be a negotiating ploy by the Obama administration as it gets down to some hard bargaining with Karzai, who has long criticized many aspects of the U.S. military presence and who is likely to be reluctant to accede to a key American demand: That any U.S. soldiers who remain in Afghanistan after 2014 retain immunity from prosecution in the dysfunctional Afghan court system. It was this issue that led the U.S. to pull all its troops out of Iraq in December, 2011 after failing to negotiate an agreement with the Nuri al-Maliki government.
Or this may represent the real views of those in the Obama administration who have long called for a much-reduced U.S. presence in Afghanistan, and it is also in keeping with the emerging Obama doctrine of attacking al Qaeda and its allies with drones but no American boots on the ground. And it certainly aligns with the view of most Americans, only around a quarter of whom now support the war in Afghanistan, according to a poll taken in September.
In any case, zeroing out U.S. troop levels in the post-2014 Afghanistan is a bad idea on its face -- and even raising this concept publicly is maladroit strategic messaging to Afghanistan and the region writ large.
Why so? Afghans well remember something that most Americans have forgotten.
After the Soviet Union withdrew from Afghanistan, something that was accomplished at the cost of more than a million Afghan lives and billions of dollars of U.S. aid, the United States closed its embassy in Afghanistan in 1989 during the George H. W. Bush administration and then zeroed out aid to one of the poorest countries in the world under the Clinton administration. It essentially turned its back on Afghans once they had served their purpose of dealing a deathblow to the Soviets.
As a result, the United States had virtually no understanding of the subsequent vacuum in Afghanistan into which eventually stepped the Taliban, who rose to power in the mid-1990s. The Taliban granted shelter to Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda organization from 1996 onward.
After the overthrow of the Taliban, a form of this mistake was made again by the George W. Bush administration, which had an ideological disdain for nation building and was distracted by the Iraq War, so that in the first years after the fall of the Taliban, only a few thousand U.S. soldiers were stationed in Afghanistan.

Chunky, Well Made and Fashion Forward
By Lover of Life
from Toronto, ON
Firstly and foremost I must profess I have a crush on Mr. Sigal :-) for the effervescent, enthusiastic and phenomenal excitement he exudes when he knows he has made the ladies of TSC happy. Now for the bracelet....luvvvvvv it!!! I love a piece of jewellery with substance and weight as well as a unique design that people can't help but notice and admire. The crystal bangle is well made and can be worn in soooo many different ways. It can be worn alone or it can be mixed with other smaller bangles. In addition, the pliability allows for wearing it right at the wrist with a short-sleeved top, or higher up the arm for a fun and funky look. I have also worn it over a sweater or blouse cuff and it looks fabulous.Mr. S. reflects his love for life and people in his glorious pieces of jewellery as well as in his fabulous clothing line. Wayyyy ahead of his time with each new collection.In the words of the immortal Mr. S., BIG KISSS!!!

Nice cuff with a lot of shine
By Irene_PhD
from Winnipeg
Interesting cuff design! I wanted to try my first cuff and this price was right. I find this cuff feels nice on my wrist and will be lovely over many of my long-sleeved winter tops. My sense is that this is a great conversation starter, as well.
