A tie and some help from England and Slovenia would also propel the Yanks into the Round of 16.
Follow the 2010 World Cup with the UCSB men's and women's soccer programs all tournament long on UCSBgauchos.com. "South Africa to Santa Barbara: The Cup is Coming" will provide daily commentary on the day's biggest storylines, featuring video interviews with Gaucho soccer players and head coaches Tim Vom Steeg and Paul Stumpf.
To view previous entries click here.
If you would have told the United States soccer team before the World Cup that it would simply need a win over Algeria for a first-class ticket into the Round of 16, the Yanks would have been delighted.
Yet, that is exactly where the U.S. stands going into Wednesday's contest against the Green Dragons. After a gift-of-a-tie against England and a two-goal comeback to tie Slovenia, the Americans sit tied for second in Group C with two points and control their own destiny with a win over group underdog Algeria.
Just as they were against Slovenia, the Yanks are the clear favorite. However, if the U.S. comes in like it did against Slovenia - giving up a goal in the first 15 minutes while playing with the pace of an ox - it will send the Americans packing.
Remember, this is an Algeria squad which is one goalie gaffe away from being level with the U.S at two points. Before holding a clean sheet to force a tie against England, it was the Algerian goalkeeper who gifted a score to Slovenia to give Slovenia three points and control of the group.
If the Americans tie, they can still advance with an England loss or tie against Slovenia - as long as the Three Lions do not outscore the U.S. by more than two goals. The Yanks have a legitimate concern against the Green Dragons as Algeria, too, can advance with a win and a little help from the English.
All scenarios aside, the situation is clear. The Americans, coming in as favorites and expected to advance from the forefront, must win.
Season tickets start at just $75 and include one ticket to all home men's and women's regular season games and one College Cup All Session Pass. UCSB staff and faculty can purchase their season tickets for a reduced rate of $50.

(correction from original story)
FBI Director Rober Mueller told a Senate panel Wednesday that the FBI National Crime Information Center Advisory Board recommended to update the current Uniform Crime Report definition of rape that many say is too narrow. He also said his "expectation is it will go into effect sometime this spring." Currently, the FBI defines rape as "the carnal knowledge of a female forcibly and against her will."
"This is a very positive development," says Eleanor Smeal, president of the Feminist Majority Foundation. "I'm excited to hear that the next steps are being taken toward a new definition, and I'm looking forward to hearing the details. We believe that updating and broadening this archaic definition to count the vast majority of rapes will result in more resources to curb what has been an intolerable level of violence, especially against women."
The new definition, adopted by various committees of the FBI, no longer includes the requirement that the victim must be a woman and takes out the the word "forcible." The new definition says that "rape is penetration, no matter how slight, of the vagina or anus with any body part or object, or oral penetration by a sex organ of another person, without the consent of the victim."
Following a massive grassroots feminist activism campaign, Senate hearings, and many meetings with various levels of the FBI, as well as over 160,000 emails to the Department of Justice and FBI, the FBI's Criminal Justice Advisory Policy Board voted to recommend that the FBI update its 82-year-old definition.
The "Rape is Rape" campaign, launched by the Feminist Majority Foundation and Ms. magazine, went viral on the petition website Change.org, generating tens of thousands emails to the FBI and the Department of Justice urging this change. The update to the definition comes after years of urging by feminist organizations, spearheaded for more than a decade by the Pennsylvania-based Women's Law Project. "Ultimately, accurate data is a fundamental starting point to improving police response to sex crimes and improved practice should led to increased victim confidence in police and reporting," said Carol E. Tracy, Executive Director of the Women's Law Project.

Re: Man Creates Own Mobile Phone
There's an interesting read I'm too lazy to Google abut GSM/GPRS chipsets, none of the mobile phone manufacturers except Motorola actually make their own, they all just interface with GSM chips made by other parties, this means that they could be bugged/tapped and the manufacturer of the phone could truly swear there were no backdoors in their product, and they'd be telling the truth, the question is what's in the GSM module?

It's been an exciting couple of weeks for Mon�te�video High School senior Ryan Maroney.
It's been an exciting couple of weeks for Montevideo High School senior Ryan Maroney. Nine days after receiving the Floyd Arnold Award, given to Montevideo's outstanding senior male athlete, Maroney qualified for the state Class A tennis tournament.
Maroney finished second in the Section 3A singles tournament at Redwood Falls Tuesday, losing 6-1, 6-2 in the championship match to Jess Hansen of Lac qui Parle Valley/Dawson-Boyd. Hansen, just a freshman, is the fourth brother in his family to win the section singles crown.
Maroney was the No. 2 seed and he advanced to the semifinals with a pair of straight-sets wins.
Maroney's semifinal match against Luverne's Dustin Deutsch was a three-set battle. Maroney led 5-1 in the deciding third set, but Deutsch came back to win the next three games before Maroney put the match away.
Maroney will take a 14-5 record into the state Class A tourney on June 6 at the Reed Sweatt Tennis Center in Minneapolis.
"He's in phenomenal shape and he never gives up on a single ball," said Montevideo coach Mark Johnson.
Section 3A
Montevideo doubles results
- Walker Danielson-Jesse Erickson lost 2-6, 4-6 Nathan Baatz-Jared Schiebout (Pipe).
- Adam Peters-Jason Neville lost 2-6, 0-6 Phillip Harms-Miguel Garcia (MAC).

Nvidia Geforce 3D Vision Review
How many of you are old enough to remember going to the movies on Saturday afternoon or the drive in on Saturday night to watch the latest 3D movie? The usher would give you the 3D glasses that consisted of a paper frame with one red and one blue lens that barely hung onto your face. Then you would get to watch the movie and be less than satisfied with the technology that was being employed to create the effect. I know I'm old enough to remember those times and have been patiently waiting for the technology to actually catch up to make 3D a thing of the present, not an unpleasant memory from the past.
Nvidia now has that technology and is bringing it to the masses with the Geforce 3D Vision system. The Geforce 3D Vision is a package that allows games as well as movies and 3D images to be viewed in full stereoscopic 3D. This should bring all of the action on your favorite PC games to life, so you are no longer just a player but feel as though you are immersed in the action. The system is not for use with just new games, as Nvidia has completed profiles for well over 350 different games so that you have no worries when it comes to the games you play. If that's the case I can't wait to see how this all plays out and whether the technology actually works.
Closer Look:
The 3D vision system comes in the traditional lime green and black themed packaging. The front panel gives a glimpse of the goggles and features a flip panel that looks much like the 3D images you can get in a Cracker Jacks box, turn the image slightly and it changes. The rear panel gives more information on the system.
Inside the box the the contents are divided into two smaller boxes, one for the cables and documentation and one for the hardware. The hardware is protected in foam so that the 3D Vision system will not incur any damage in shipping. The contents include the 3D goggles, IR emitter and spare nose pieces.
The contents of the package includes both the software and hardware needed to get the 3D Vision installed and operating on your choice of display panels. The hardware includes the goggles, IR emitter, 6 and 10 ft USB cables, a DVI to HDMI cable, VESA 3 pin stereo cable, cleaning cloth and pouch as well as interchangeable nose pieces.
In order to make this technology work you will need to use one of the just released 120Hz refresh rate monitors such as the Samsung SyncMaster 2233RZ or Viewsonic FuHzion VX2265wm. These monitors allow a full 60Hz per eye when used with the 3D Vision system to reduce flickering and flashing and provide the best possible experience. Additional support is available for large 120Hz LCD displays and 3D projection systems .
Let's see what the Nvidia Geforce 3D Vision system consists of at the most basic level of the hardware.

Lochinvar Introduces the Next Generation Copper-Fin II
Lochinvar Introduces the Next Generation Copper-Fin II
by Lochinvar
Corporation introduces its next generation
Copper-Fin II
commercial gas water heater/boiler, offering greater installation flexibility and easier service access to valves and connections.
With independent duel ignition systems, as well as multiple gas valves, fans and burners, the
Copper-Fin II
is two units in one, greatly reducing the likelihood of a total system shutdown. Its exclusive features, including the gasketless heat exchanger and duel ignition systems, represent a heater with superior reliability. The
Copper-Fin II
's proportional firing lowers energy costs and delivers more consistent water temperatures. Multiple referenced gas valves supply gas to the burners in stages, and multiple blowers maintain the proper airflow to ensure the most efficient combustion at each level of use. The built-in sequencer controls each of these functions by monitoring the need for heat, and automatically adjusts the mixture of air and gas as demand increases or decreases.
"The next generation
Copper-Fin II
is the result of 10 years of experience delivering reliability and serviceability with Lochinvar exclusive features," said Jeff Vallett, executive vice president for Lochinvar Corporation.
Gas shut-off valves are now located in the upper chamber and all electrical connections are positioned in the front of the heater, increasing the
Copper-Fin II
's service friendly design. The new digital multi-stage controller and diagnostic flash codes are accessible without opening the control panel.
Copper-Fin II
offers seven venting options, including the certified Aire-Lock™ Direct Vent, which draws in fresh air and vents all by-products through a sidewall, lowering the cost of installation, operation and maintenance, while ensuring plentiful combustion air. For easier and more flexible installation, the air inlet location is field convertible, mounting on either the rear or side of the unit.
Additional venting options include:
• DirectAire
• DirectAire
Vertical with Sidewall Inlet
• Power DirectAire
• Power Side Wall
• Outdoor
• Conventional
Copper-Fin II
demonstrates superior efficiency with standard models operating at 85% (water heater) and 84% (boiler) thermal efficiency, putting fuel dollars to better use. The fan-assisted combustion process produces extremely low NOx emissions at a rating of less than 30 ppm, which exceeds the most stringent air quality standards. The Multi-Stack Frame is another Lochinvar exclusive option, allowing two heaters to be stacked in the space normally required for one. Welded and pre-assembled, the Multi-Stack Frame is another way the
Copper-Fin II
outweighs the competition.

Patriotism in song, symbol and thought
We are in a patriotic month in a patriotic age. Our nation displays its colors, sings its songs, honors its past and argues its present. The sights and sounds of the Fourth of July all serve to remind us of our identity as a nation, but what does that identity mean? Four new books offer insight into this question.
Patriotic music is a staple of Fourth of July picnics. But where did these songs come from, and how did they become a part of our national character? Songs Sung Red, White, and Blue: The Stories Behind America's Best-Loved Patriotic Songs (HarperResource, $14.95, 223 pages, ISBN 0060513047), by Ace Collins, explores the history of our nation's music, from the grade school favorite "Yankee Doodle" to the modern staple "God Bless the U.S.A." These are the songs that have led us into battle, motivated us to change and inspired us to believe. In each chapter, Collins reveals the stories behind our favorite national tunes, delving into the lives of the songwriters and performers who made them famous. The book also offers a look at the mood and mind of the nation during the time when each song appeared and shows how the songs themselves have been changed by the nation they praise. For those with a love of music or history, or readers looking for a patriotic lift, Collins' little book is a treat.
In the same manner, Stars & Stripes Forever: The Histories, Stories, and Memories of Our American Flag (Morrow, $14.95, 192 pages, ISBN 0060523571), by Richard H. Schneider, takes a look at the history of our nation's most beloved symbol, from the early vague description enacted by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777, to the tattered icon rescued from the rubble of the World Trade Center after September 11, 2001. The book is a collection of history, observations and anecdotes about "Old Glory" (including the origin of that name), set off by moving recollections from veterans, celebrities and citizens about their experiences of the Stars and Stripes. Schneider delves into thoroughly modern controversies about the flag and patriotism, from the Pledge of Allegiance to bizarre Internet conspiracy theories. In many ways, this inspiring book is as much a history of our nation and its attitudes towards patriotism as it is a history of the flag itself.
Exploring the meaning of patriotism is at the center of Caroline Kennedy's latest book. A Patriot's Handbook: Songs, Poems, Stories and Speeches Celebrating the Land We Love is a compilation of opinions and art from more than two centuries of American experience. In the introduction, Kennedy calls the book her "collage of America," and an exceptional collage it is. From George Washington's farewell address to Loretta Lynn's "Coal Miner's Daughter," Kennedy has created a marvelous mixture of speeches, opinions, lyrics and literary works about America and her people. As great as the differences are between the voices she selects (where else will you find Ronald Reagan collected with Cesar Chavez?), there is something uniquely American in every one.
Among the unique voices of America, few are more vocal and controversial than Alan Dershowitz. Built around an examination of the words and ideals expressed in the Declaration of Independence, America Declares Independence (Wiley, $19.95, 196 pages, ISBN 0471264822) is Dershowitz's latest broadside in the continuing argument over the appropriate relationship between church and state. Using Thomas Jefferson as both touchstone and target, Dershowitz argues that the founders, many of whom were Deists, never intended for America to be an explicitly Christian nation. Readers can (and likely will) debate whether Dershowitz proves his points, but this book stands as a testament to the diversity of opinion that can exist under one flagand that may be exactly what defines our nation best.

4th Annual Small Project Award Winners
Last week, AIA Chicago announced the winners of their Small Projects Awards. The program recognizes exceptional works that are in the spirt of 'small', meaning they can be designed by a small architecture firm, on a small budget, or with a small footprint. Each year the winning submissions get better and better, and serve as a great example that small is cool.
According to AIA Chicago, the goal of this program is to raise public awareness of the value that architects bring to small projects and to promote small practitioners as a resource for design excellence. Winners are divided between categories for three size groups, objects, and unbuilt buildings.
Here are a few of our favorite winners:
Atrium House by dSPACE Studio: "In crafting a complete overhaul of the interior, the architects took their lead from the home's literal centerpiece, an atrium that had acted as little more than an enclosed light well. By hanging a sleek new staircase within the atrium space, enlarging the glass opening at its top and removing some walls to open it into the surrounding rooms, they 'made it more of a focal point,' a judge said. 'It's a great space and it suffuses the home with natural light, which is always a problem in these urban environments.'"
Harbert Cottage by Searl Lamaster Howe Architects: "The property has been in the possession of the owner since 1974 and he has a strong sentimental attachment to the house. Although its roof was caving in and its slab was slowly sinking, the size and general layout of the house worked. The project became an opportunity to reengineer and reinvigorate the classic American ranch house. The design of the renovation was shaped by principles of simplicity, ease, durability, and environmental responsiveness. The visual interest of the structure comes from revealing rather than concealing the building's construction."
Woodland Dune Home by Kuklinski + Rappe Architects: "Perched on a steep, forested dune, this weekend retreat successfully balances the competing goals of accessibility low on the slope and sweeping views higher up. By siting the home as high as could be reached by car, and locating the master bedroom suite and common areas midway between a lower-level garage and upper-level guest rooms, the owners contend with only a short flight of stairs… The home employs a range of sustainable design strategies, including site orientation to maximize winter sun exposure, preservation of the deciduous tree canopy for summer shade, radiant heating, operable windows, whole-house ventilation, recycled metal siding and a thermally modified domestic wood rainscreen."
Cell Table by Dirk Denison Architects: "The base for this table has forms derived from cell patterns & structure found in coral reefs. Because of the complexity of the design, the base was fabricated as extruded 'tubes' of quartered ash, and then machined with a 5-axis CNC router. An accurate 3D digital model of the base guided the router's movements. An acrylic top was added to allow visibility of the pattern from above."

BOCA RATON, Fla. (May 13, 2006) - Junior Stephanie Gaynord (Manassas, Va.) and senior Jessica Lonsinger (Dale City, Va.) both earned spots on the Atlantic Sun All-Tournament Team, following their outstanding performances at this weekend's A-Sun Softball Tournament. The fifth-seeded Lady Bucs fought their way to a third-place finish, falling a game short of the championship contest.
Lonsinger hit a team-high .364 for the tournament, collecting four hits in 11 at bats. The senior catcher also knocked home a pair of runs in the sixth inning against four-seed Campbell, lifting the Lady Bucs to the 5-3 victory.
Gaynord posted a .333 average on the weekend, managing five hits, two RBIs, and two runs scored. The junior also belted a pair of homeruns, elevating her school-record total to 11 for the season. The shortstop was one of the hottest players in the conference during the closing weeks of the season, winning back-to-back A-Sun Player of the Week awards, while ending the 2006 campaign on an 11-game hit streak.
Host-school and second-seeded Florida Atlantic took the tournament crown with an 8-4 victory over Stetson on Saturday. The NCAA-bound Owls placed three on the all-tournament squad, while runner-up Stetson put four players on the team, including MVP recipient Andrea Migliori.
The Lady Bucs took a first-round loss to FAU, before battling back to defeat Gardner-Webb and Campbell. Stetson ended ETSU's impressive run, claiming a 5-2 decision on Friday evening. ETSU (22-36, 9-11 A-Sun) finished the season in dazzling fashion, winning nine of its last 12, including a 7-1 record in its final eight regular season conference tilts.

Real-World Review
Does the 2013 Toyota RAV4 still have a rear door that swings out?
On the 2013 Toyota RAV4, the rear door no longer swings out like it did in previous generations. The RAV4 now has a more traditional rear cargo door that raises up, like most other crossovers or SUVs. If you opt for the Limited trim level, you can even get that rear lift gate to open automatically at the touch of a button.
The RAV4 also loses one of it's signature design cues, as the spare tire is no longer attached to the rear door. Instead, the RAV4's spare tire is now mounted under the rear cargo area. But we think this makes the new RAV4 look more modern and sleek.
While a few people may feel nostalgic about the old swing-out door, the vertical lift gate on the 2013 Toyota RAV4 is easier and safer to use in crowded parking lots. And with the power feature on Limited models, it's a lot more convenient, too.

Maxi Hama Beads, also known as My First Hama are a fabulous resource for teaching young children how to use these wonderful craft materials. Chunky to make it easy for little fingers to hold (and so you can pick them up more easily afterwards!), they can be used in all sorts of ways. Our own children got to grips with them under close supervision (care is required as they are aimed at 3+ due to potential choking hazards) from around age 2 as Josie demonstrates in this
Maxi Beads come in all sorts of colours and there is a wide range of pegboard shapes, made with specially rounded pegs on clear plastic so they can be placed directly over the designs that come in packs or in the Inspiration Books.
Here are some design ideas for trying out with your little ones. (Note: clicking on these pictures will take you to the item in our shop, but you can right click and download the image to print).

Election (US - DVD R1)
Our Troy Anderson takes a look at the political underpinnings of Triad Society
Lok and Big D both want leadership of the oldest Triad Society. The problem is that the Triads tend to stick to bizarre superstitions that younger members feel get in the way of proper business. But, it doesn't matter. The next leader of the Triads has to find the special baton that will allow to them reign supreme over the Triad Criminal Empire.
Lok is sensible and wants to honour the Triad's past, so that the business at hand can be settled. Big D is a rock star of the Underworld and wants everyone to forgo this nonsense and do what he says. When Big D starts to feel threatened by the fact that the Old World gangster that dominate the Underworld won't let traditions go, he decides to cheat. This X Factor that's suddenly thrown into the mix makes everyone in the Triads begin to question what matters most to them, especially Lok.
I found the real meat of the drama to be in Lok's eventual collapse into the special kind of bastard it takes to be in charge of a larger organization. I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the director Johnnie To, who moves into a realm occupied by such greats as Scorsese and DePalma with this film. He gives a look at a man who can't process when his rules are broken. Much has been made of the Big D character in other films, but I feel that focusing on that character really isn't the point.
The heart of the story lies with Lok and if you stay with him from the first frame to the finale, you'll be more satisfied. It's not to say that any of this material is new. Hell, James Cagney and Raoul Walsh covered similar ground ages ago. It's just that Western Viewers get to experience the genre conventions and interpersonal dynamic through a new filter.
Election continues the long streak of Tartan Video being able to release great transfers that border on being too soft at times. The shadow detail on the transfer is so weak that I almost lost complete focus in darker scenes. Anytime that there's excessive lighting or a natural flood of light in a scene, the characters seem to be surrounded in haze that makes me wonder if there's an easier way to place Eastern Cinema onto DVD. Even though it distracted me during darker scenes, I noticed that in contrast the lighter scheme seemed to enhance the finale at the ol' fishing spot. It's just that a happy balance needs to be reached in the matter. Otherwise, you've got a case of a transfer that could've been great, but ended up as a haze filled fog of a feature film.
The DVD's audio is outstanding. The original Cantonese language tracks are presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and a pretty full DTS Surround 5.1 track. There are a surprising amount of quiet scenes in the film with heavy dialogue and all channels are represented in the larger scenes, even if it's nothing but more dialogue. The real audio treat comes from the finale at a secluded fishing spot where you treated to an on-the-fly action scene that plays well against the various elements that occupy the area.
The extras are really skimpy. There's a look at the making of Election that feels like 90% fluff material and about 10% real content. The other supplemental materials are a collection of interviews the cast/crew and the typical theatrical trailer for the feature. Not a whole lot to get excited about, but the effort is appreciated.
Election suffers from what all of To's work has come to show. He's an Eastern maverick who is afraid of playing too much off of Western influences. He broke apart heavy violence and long pauses with this bizarre sense of brevity that totally killed the flow of the film. When you're already working on a dangerously short running time, it begs to viewer to ask about the integrity of the narrative. I would recommend renting Election and saving your hard earned cash for Election 2. The sequel, which was re-titled Triad Election in North America, learns from the mistakes of this film and takes everything to the next level.

I dont' consider the first to be weaker for being less Western than it could be in its influences (if you want that, just watch his "Exiled," which is a total pastiche/homage to Peckinpah). I don't think judging how good the film is in terms of a DePalma or Scorsese is going to help because it's a very different animal. I will agree with you that Election 2 is the better film though.

Long Range Systems LLC (LRS), a leading supplier of on-site guest and staff paging, has introduced SafeTouch, a new antibacterial wireless paging device.
SafeTouch pagers' antimicrobial design eliminates germs on contact, reducing the risk of microorganisms spreading within a building or person-to-person.
"Guest pagers are fantastic for streamlining the waiting process and improving the guest experience, and with today's technology, health-conscious businesses have a meaningful alternative when choosing a paging system," says Skip Cass, CEO of LRS. "SafeTouch pagers enable businesses to provide a better guest experience while looking out for the health and wellness of guests."
A study by the University of Colorado at Boulder found that 150 kinds of germs and microorganisms live on the hand palms of the average person. Although many are harmless, some can be infectious, and having a pager like SafeTouch helps block the transfer of germs between waiting guests.
SafeTouch pagers promote health and safety not just in their antibacterial properties, but also in their technology, which is designed to manage waiting guests more efficiently and eliminate counter congestion, another contributor to the spreading of microbes.
Guest pagers have been growing in popularity in the restaurant industry for a number of years. Recently, guest paging is also gaining traction in the healthcare industry. Pagers are deployed in hospital or clinic settings to notify waiting guests when a department or physician is ready to see them. But some believe the best place to catch a bad germ is the same place you go to treat them.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that roughly 1.7 million hospital-associated infections, from all types of bacteria, combined cause or contribute to 99,000 deaths each year.
"Hospitals and healthcare clinics strive to take extra-special care around the transmission of infectious bacteria and viruses," adds Cass. "The SafeTouch pager is a tool that healthcare providers can feel safe putting in the hands of waiting patients."
SafeTouch pagers are fully compatible with iQueue, LRS' hybrid guest paging solution and the only wait list app that can text cellphones and page guest pagers seamlessly from the same application.
The SafeTouch pager also has a customizable ad insert space that allows businesses to advertise or promote key messages to guests. SafeTouch operates on the preferred UHF frequency for optimal signal penetration and features continuous alert vibration and flash to guarantee that guests receive their notification.

Skip to comments.New Cheney Taking Stage for the G.O.P.
Posted on 09/28/2009 6:11:15 AM PDT by Reagan69
click here to read article
She's got the right blood line and the right instincts.
Thank God for Liz Cheney! Compare and contrast with Megan McCain......
If the new york times hates Liz Cheney she must be good.
So far Palin is that new blood for me.
Leonidas: Hmm, the Persians seem to think we need a new leader, and have offered to find one for us.
Xerxes: Spartan soldiers, please give a warm welcome and your undying loyalty to....Liz Cheney!
We need to know Liz Cheney's views on domestic and social issues. What's her view on abortion, the gay agenda etc. What about the bailout, stimulus etc.?
Her sister is a lesbian and her father, as much as I like him, supports the gay agenda. We need a Conservative, not just a hawk.
> Shes got the right blood line and the right instincts.
I think that, like her Dad, she favors homosexual "marriage".
God won't bless that.
Plus brains.
Hope'n Chaney
When did her father announce his support of homosexual marriage?
"I think that freedom means freedom for everyone. As many of you know, one of my daughters is gay, and it is something we have lived with for a long time in our family. I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish. Any kind of arrangement they wish. The question of whether or not there ought to be a federal statute to protect this, I don't support. I do believe that... historically the way marriage has been regulated is at the state level. It has always been a state issue and I think that is the way it ought to be handled, on a state-by-state basis... But I don't have any problem with that. People ought to get a shot at that."
Either ticket would have my vote!
I'm all for a Cheney/Palin-—Palin/Cheney ticket. Win/win for our team!
Ditto, here, but ya gotta like Liz.
Why the heel not! Except the old old boys who can tolerate female candidates are the ones who have only daughters. Male jealousy is not a feminist fiction. I once spoke to CDU official about the chances of the present chancellor of rising to her present position. Vehemently, he said, she will NEVER be Chancellor! hah!
It's not surprising the ones with any balls to take on the Dems right now are Sarah Palin and Liz Cheney.

So for an ode to our 30th anniversary, as well as Questionable's 20th anniversary, we got Mr. Duffy himself–#13 on our 30 most influential skaters of all time list–in to crush the park for an hour.

LOL ... Reverse psychology .. Kinda similar to the way the the world-wide protests against 2003 war with Iraq actually provoked Bush into going out and doing it his way sooner than he might have ... This principle can be stated as a simple matter of dog training: point out what you don't want -- and he will do it. As often as one says "I am against war," he is actually sending out to the listener and the cosmic vibes the concept of war. He wants to provide as little attention and energy to what seems to be a problem and as much attention and energy to what seems to offer resolution. One tries not to be 'against' things but rather 'for' an alternative.
Quote from: french kiss on August 18, 2006, 05:23:08 AMThis principle can be stated as a simple matter of dog training: point out what you don't want -- and he will do it. Ivan Petrovich Pavlov conducted some experiments like this I've read. Pavlov's description on how animals (and humans) can be trained to respond in a certain way to a particular stimulus drew tremendous interest from the time he first presented his results. His work paved the way for a new, more objective method of studying behavior. So-called Pavlovian training has been used in many fields, with anti-phobia treatment as but one example. An important principle in conditioned learning is that an established conditioned response (salivating in the case of the dogs) decreases in intensity if the conditioned stimulus (bell) is repeatedly presented without the unconditioned stimulus (food). This process is called extinction.In order to treat phobias evoked by certain environmental situations, such as heights or crowds, this phenomenon can be used. The patient is first taught a muscle relaxation technique. Then he or she is told , over a period of days, to imagine the fear-producing situation while trying to inhibit the anxiety by relaxation. At the end of the series, the strongest anxiety-provoking situation may be brought to mind without anxiety. This process is called systematic desensitization.Conditioning forms the basis of much of learned human behavior. Nowadays, this knowledge has also been exploited by commercial advertising. An effective commercial should be able to manipulate the response to a stimulus (like seeing a product's name) which initially does not provoke any feeling. The objective is to train people to make the "false" connection between positive emotions (e.g. happiness or feeling attractive) and the particular brand of consumer goods being advertised.
This principle can be stated as a simple matter of dog training: point out what you don't want -- and he will do it.
Skinner had the "wonderful" idea to bring up his daughter in a Skinner Box. How anyone could admire this man is beyond me. His book, "Walden Two," is a utopian presentation of how he imagined the application of his theories would work out in real life. Of course, they never have worked out in real life despite his assertions and beliefs. In "Beyond Freedom and Dignity," Skinner put forth the notion that Man had no indwelling personality, nor will, intention, self-determinism or personal responsibility, and that modern concepts of freedom and dignity have to fall away so Man could be intelligently controlled to behave as he should. Despite the fact of the degree of implied human degradation involved, the question always remained just who would decide what Man should be, how he should act, and who would control the controllers? In a traditional behavioral approach, Skinner followed in the footsteps of Pavlov and Watson. This view postulates that the subject matter of human psychology is only the behavior of the human being. Behaviorism claims that consciousness is neither a definite nor a usable concept. The behaviorist holds, further, that belief in the existence of consciousness goes back to the ancient days of superstition and magic and is useless.

Fundamental Principles of Art History at Nyack College
The Department of Art History emphasizes five fundamental principles: visual attentiveness, visual literacy, critical interpretation, art as visual theology, and art as a medium of prophetic transformation.
Visual Attentiveness:The engagement of the art object begins with a careful study of its visual and material elements. Our department's content-oriented method places an emphasis on the visual evidence of the art object itself. The rigorous scrutiny of the art object grounds the art historian's reading of the work's form and content.
Visual Literacy:Works of art communicate through a visual language. This language has a vocabulary (iconography) and grammar (formal structure and technical methods) that has developed across the history of art. Each artist, working within their cultural-historical-religious context, inherits and expands a language of art. Our department emphasizes the importance of developing strong visual literacy skills as the basis for critical interpretation.
Critical Interpretation:As carriers of meaning, works of art are open to a range of interpretations, limited by the visual evidence of the object. Our department encourages students to critically engage the work of art's visual elements (including formal structure, iconography, and technical methods) as meaningful. Students and scholars contextualize the work of art's original historical, cultural, and religious significance as well as investigate its capacity to address the modern viewer. A content-oriented method of art history is not an open license to speculation or subjective personal interpretations. Scholarly readings must be grounded in the evidence of the art object and the product of research.
Art as Visual Theology: In most cultures, works of art have been employed as carriers of sacred meaning and objects of religious function. Our department highlights the rich, diverse, and sometimes controversial history of Christianity and the visual arts. Since the third century, Christians have employed the visual arts as a means of making their faith tangible. The Christian church has been one of the principal patrons of the visual arts. Christianity's contribution to the history of art lies in part in the fact that, at many different historical and cultural contexts, artists have employed the visual arts to express their faith in the visual language of their own time. The principles of Christian faith have provided the theological foundation for much of Western art; even works that are not overtly religious in their subjects are sacramental in their union of content and form. Our department recognizes that works of art extend this rich cultural history into the future.
Art as a Medium of Prophetic Transformation:Proceeding from the union of content and form, the work of art has the potential to move the viewer to personal, social, and spiritual transformation. Our department explores the capacity of the work of art, as a living presence with the viewer, to affect the viewer. Works of art further a common experience of the human condition, its aspirations, limitations, hopes, fears, beliefs, and doubts, across the divides of historical and cultural differences. As a materialization of the immaterial and the visible manifestation of the invisible, the work of art is a carrier of transformative power that may be an agent of grace made tangibly present.

How To Make a DIY Grill Cover
Cold weather is right around the corner and that means the grill will be getting a lot less use. If, like me, you don't have any place other than the balcony to store the grill over the winter months why not make a DIY cover for it? Oilcloth, which is available in an impressive array of patterns and colors, will make a cute little hideaway for your grill while it's not in use. And with this how-to, you'll have it together in no time!
What You Need
Materials 2½ to 3 yards of oilcloth or vinyl fabric. You may need more or less fabric depending on the size of your grill. Consider measuring your grill before you buy the fabric!
Tools Scissors, measuring tape, sewing machine
1. Measure your grill's height, width, and depth. This measurement doesn't have to be exact. My grill is approximately 32" wide and roughly 42" high and about 10" deep.
2. You'll need three pieces of fabric — one body piece and two side pieces. The body piece will need to be long enough to fit over the grill. Knowing that my grill is 42" high and 32" wide, I cut my oilcloth to be 84" long and 32" wide. Then I cut my two side pieces to be 42" high and 10" wide.
3. Lay the main body piece, right side down, on the grill so that it drapes down the front and back.
4. Pin the side piece to the body piece. Try to keep the pins in a relatively straight line – you'll be using them as a guide when you sew the two pieces together.
5. One the two pieces are pinned together, you may find that you have some excess fabric. Cut this fabric off before moving on to the next step.
6. Stitch the pieces together using a sewing machine.
7. With the two pieces stitched together, turn your cover right side out and put it on your grill. How does it fit so far? I found that I overestimated the width of material I would need for the body of the cover so I cut it down.
8. Turn the cover inside out again, put it over the grill, and pin the other side on in the same way you did the first side.
9. Stitch this side with a sewing machine.
10. After both sides are sewn onto the main body piece, turn the cover right side out and slide it over your grill.
It probably goes without saying that the cover should only be put on a cool grill. As a one martini cook I know I can sometimes get a little careless when I'm finished cooking. But for Pete's sake, don't put the cover on a hot grill!

"I'm a search marketing 'hacker.' I love finding clever, imaginative and low risk technical marketing solutions to make search engines do profitable things for my clients' sites." – Hamlet Batista
Full SEO Audits
Our Full SEO Audits include detailed reports that will show you what is currently wrong with your site from a technical SEO aspect, as well as giving you information and stats regarding your own site and the sites of your competitors. The reports include:
- A Technical Review, which consists of:
- An in depth diagnosis of your site's technical health, which is meant to find inefficiency in crawling and indexing. These are some of the aspects of your site that we thoroughly look into: robots.txt, noindex, SEO friendly navigation, content visibility (for bots), crawler traps, duplicate content, canonicalization, stale content, xml sitemaps, pagination, and indexation rates.
- Recommendations on how to improve these problems and measure their effect on SEO.
- Help with implementing best practices for search snippets in order to increase Click Through Rates (CTR). This includes how to make great meta descriptions, titles, and effective use of structured data for rich snippets and authorship.
- Mobile optimization – we check your mobile site for SEO friendly architecture and canonicalization.
- Page speed – we offer recommendations on how to improve your site's performance.
- Competitor benchmark – we compare the technical health of your site against your competitors' sites in order to understand strengths and weaknesses and find additional opportunities for growth.
- Internationalization – if you have the same or similar content intended for people in different countries, we help you optimize your SEO correctly.
- A Link Analysis, which consists of:
- An analysis of links to your site and links to your competitors' sites in order to understand where and why they have links.
- Determining opportunities for a few new high quality links (rather than lots of low quality links that risk being deemed as spam).
- Spotting if any of your competitors are using blackhat strategies (things to avoid).
- In cases where links do not have SEO value, we evaluate whether they still improve marketing/publicity (e.g., social profiles).
- Keyword Research, which consists of:
- Comprehensive keyword research, but in addition to providing you with specific keyword opportunities, we provide you with a process that you can continue to use as you develop your content over time. Ours will be the last keyword advice you ever need!
- We show you how to focus on low-competition words, where you can quickly improve your rankings and find a nice niche for yourself.
- We figure out which of your site's keywords are driving traffic and sales and which aren't. We then figure out why this is happening in order to better guide your choice of keywords.
- Content Ideas, which consist of:
- Analyzing the most popular content of your competitors in order to see if any of their content could serve as a model for you.
- Finding ways to ignite word of mouth about your site, while building a community and getting users to contribute original content. This does two things: it provides quality content for SEO and builds a base of loyal customers.
- Priorities
- We rank each SEO issue by effort and impact.
- Effort is the amount of effort required to fix the problem on your site.
- Impact is the potential improvement in SEO performance that your site will experience after the problem has been fixed.

Massimo Cellino's chances of completing a takeover of Leeds appear to have been dashed after the Italian businessman was reported to have been found guilty of tax evasion.
An Italian court in Cagliari was reported to have found Cellino guilty of avoiding payment of more than 400,000 euros in import tax on a yacht he bought in 2010. It was reported that Judge Sandra Lepore fined Cellino 600,000 euros and ordered the vessel, named Nelie, be confiscated.
Cellino's defence lawyer Giovanni Cocco announced that Cellino, who was not in court, planned to appeal against the court's ruling.
"This verdict is absolutely unjust and we will appeal," he is reported to have said after the brief court session.
Cellino, 57, heads Eleonora Sports, who agreed to buy Leeds from Gulf Finance House Capital on February 1.
He had been hoping to have his takeover ratified by the Football League, who said last Thursday – ahead of the Cagliari court hearing – that it could take up to ten more days to make a decision on the ownership of United.
The governing body's 'owners and directors' test prevents anyone with an unspent conviction for dishonesty offences from being a director, a 30 per cent owner, or from exercising control over one of their clubs, which points to the Cellino takeover being blocked.
Miami-based Cellino, currently the owner of Cagliari, denies that he was seeking to evade import duty on the yacht. He told the court in December that he had planned to have it sailed to the United States, where he had bought it, but was unable to due to damage to the yacht.
Cellino, who exchanged contracts with current owners GFH Capital to buy 75 per cent of the club's shares at the beginning of last month, has already provided considerable funds to cover running costs at Elland Road.
The businessman has covered the club's staff wage bill for the last two months and has paid off a loan from shirt sponsors Enterprise Insurance to stave off a winding-up order.
Since the takeover deal with GFH Capital was agreed, Leeds have also signed Stoke goalkeeper Jack Butland and Sunderland striker Connor Wickham on loan until the end of the season.
Cellino's lawyers started talks with the Football League at the end of January and the Cagliari owner met with the governing body on February 12.
Bahrain-based investment firm GFH Capital have been searching for major investment since buying the club from Ken Bates in December 2012.
A rival consortium to Cellino, headed by Andrew Flowers – chief executive of Enterprise Insurance – withdrew from the race to take control at the end of January.
But a third group, Together Leeds – fronted by former Manchester United international managing director Mike Farnan – has been waiting in the background.
GFH Capital have so far refused to enter into serious talks with Together Leeds after rejecting a "derisory" offer from them in November.
Miami-based Cellino has twice been previously convicted of fraud and is currently contesting a separate charge of embezzlement.
He received a 15-month suspended prison sentence in 2001 after being convicted of false accounting at Cagliari.
A previous conviction in 1996 for fraudulently claiming EU agricultural subsidies was overturned in 2012, while in February 2013 he spent 16 days in jail after being arrested for embezzlement – a charge he denies – in relation to the redevelopment of Cagliari's Is Arena stadium.
But Cellino's two previous convictions, nearly 13 and 18 years old, are considered 'spent' in English law and it is understood they cannot be taken into consideration under the League's owners and directors test.
In relation to his outstanding charge, Cellino is assumed innocent until it can be proved otherwise. But after now reportedly being found guilty for failing to pay tax on his luxury yacht, it would appear his bid to take control at Elland Road is in serious doubt.
Cellino, long considered one of the most charismatic owners in Italian football, was shown around Leeds' Thorp Arch training ground for the first time in October.
He verbally agreed to a 75 per cent takeover with GFH Capital at the end of January and tried to sack manager Brian McDermott and install friend and former Middlesbrough defender Gianluca Festa as team boss.
That bid sparked outrage among Leeds fans, who attempted to barricade Cellino at Elland Road on the eve of their home game against Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield on February 1.
McDermott stayed away from the game, which Leeds won 5-1 under the stewardship of assistant Nigel Gibbs, while GFH Capital released a statement before the game had ended overruling Cellino and stating McDermott was still manager.
McDermott returned to work as normal the following Monday and Cellino attempted to distance himself from the controversy, claiming it was the current owners who wanted to sack the manager.
Cellino has since said he is willing to work with McDermott if his takeover gets the go ahead but voiced his frustration last week when revealing he would no longer bankroll the club until the League approved his takeover.
Leeds managing director David Haigh insisted last week that there is "no chance" of the club going into administration.
The League board met last Thursday to discuss the matter but had delayed any decision until after the current court case.
A Leeds spokesman said the club would not be commenting at this stage and were waiting for the Football League's decision on Cellino's proposed takeover before issuing a statement.
A Football League spokesman said: "The Football League has noted the outcome of the court hearing earlier (on Tuesday) regarding Massimo Cellino. We are engaged in an ongoing dialogue with his legal representatives in this country and cannot comment further at this time."

Guards at the construction site said they fired rubber bullets in defence, according to the local head of police.
Four protestors suffered leg injuries and one was hit in the stomach.
Ropotan claims that CEZ violated planning rules by starting work on the 240 turbine wind farm.
He says that Spanish renewables company Iberdola, rather than CEZ, had been granted permission.
Romanian law, permits wind farms to be built with permission from county authorities, while village permission is not required if the farm is not being constructed in a built-up area.
Iberdrola opened an office in Bucharest in 2009 and said it was building a wind farm in Cogealac.
Project manager Ondrej Safar told daily newspaper Adevarul that "there is no real reason for this project not to be finalized. ... We are fulfilling the legal and technical requirements."

Louisville, KY (SportsNetwork.com) - Post-time favorite California Chrome took the lead at the top of the stretch and then drove to victory in Saturday's $2 million Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. The 3-year-old colt defeated 18 rivals and covered the 1 1/4 miles in 2:03.66 in the opening leg of racing's Triple Crown.
Trained by Art Sherman and ridden by Victor Espinoza, California Chrome was the 5-2 favorite in the 19-horse field. Hoppertunity was an early scratch with a foot injury and the owners of also eligible Pablo Del Monte decided not to start the colt in the 140th Run for the Roses, leaving the field one short of the maximum 20 3-year-olds.
California Chrome broke well from the gate and proceeded to press the pace being set by 30-1 longshot Uncle Sigh. Also racing on the lead was Sunland Derby winner Chitu and Samraat.
Owned by Steven Coburn and Perry Martin, California Chrome moved easily to the lead coming off the final turn and quickly opened his advantage nearing the furlong pole. The colt cruised down the stretch and was able to post a 1 3/4- length victory over the late running Commanding Curve.
"I let him do his thing," Espinoza said."Let him enjoy the race, whatever he wants to do."
Finishing third was Arkansas Derby winner and 8-1 third pick Danza with 6-1 second choice and Wood Memorial champ Wicked Strong rallying into fourth. Completing the order of finish were Samraat, Dance With Fate, Ride On Curlin, Medal Count, Chitu, We Miss Artie, General a Rod, Intense Holiday, Candy Boy, Uncle Sigh, Tapiture, Harry's Holiday, Vinceremos, Wildcat Red and Vicar's in Trouble.
The 140th Kentucky Derby had 164,906 in attendance.
California Chrome can become the first Triple Crown winner since Affirmed in 1978. The Triple Crown will continue on May 17 with the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course and June 7 at Belmont Park with the Belmont Stakes.
"Art Sherman has come full circle from exercise rider for a California-bred that won the Kentucky Derby," Coburn said about the trainer who exercised 1955 winner Swaps, "to training a California-bred that won the Kentucky Derby."
The 77-year-old Sherman becomes the oldest trainer to ever win the Kentucky Derby and California Chrome becomes the first California-bred 3-year-old to claim the race since Decidedly in 1962. It's Espinoza's second win to go along with his 2002 victory aboard War Emblem.
"He gave me the biggest thrill I ever had in my life," Sherman exclaimed.
The colt pockets $1.4 million and bumps his lifetime bankroll to more than $2.5 million with seven wins in 11 starts. He's perfect in four starts this year for better than $2.3 million.
California Chrome won the Santa Anita Derby on April 5 by 5 1/4 lengths after beginning 2014 with a 5 1/2-length victory in the California Cup Derby at Santa Anita on Jan. 25. The colt won the San Felipe Stakes at Santa Anita by 7 1/4 lengths on March 8 after he finished 2013 by winning the King Glorious Stakes by 6 1/4 lengths in Hollywood Park's final stakes on Nov. 22.
California Chrome returned $7.00, $5.60 and $4.20. Commanding Curve paid $31.80 and $15.40, and Danza paid $6.00 to show.

I recommend buying a good hombres book - www.howtobrew.com
I am throwing out a guess here, but since I can't think of a hefeweizen that is much higher than 1.060, I would guess you still have sanitary wort
Quote from: majorvices on May 22, 2012, 11:54:25 PMI recommend buying a good hombres book - www.howtobrew.comBilingual autocorrect??OMG! I missed that the first time I read that. That's funny! If I had a dollar for every time my phone did a goofy auto-correct I'd have my own brewery by now.
I agree if it tastes even semi good. Try with the some cheap yeast and see if it starts fermenting. If it does I would bottle after its done fermenting and try one. I also would only try one beer the first time. I'm not sure if something can get in there that would be harmful to your health.I've saved most of a batch that definitely got infected. White layer of mold at the top. But I carefully inserted my siphon and got about 4 gallons out of a 5 gallon batch. Nobody got sick and the beer was delicious.But then again I guess it just matters how much you care about that batch. If you don't just start over.
