02/11/2012, Santiago/Manzanillo
After a few days in Zihuatanejo and the day after the Super Bowl I weighed anchor and set out for points north. I did a 35 mile run over to Lazaro Cardenas, which is a stinky commercial port but has a nice flat anchorage in a cul de sac right off the ocean. After a very flat and calm night I pulled out of there for the next anchorage (Caleta De Campos) about 40 miles up the coast. I pulled into the anchorage that afternoon and was not happy with the huge ocean swells making their way into the anchorage. So, instead of rockin'n'rolling all night, I decided to keep on trucking up the coast and do an overnighter into Santiago. About 6 in the morning, the wind picked up offshore and I had a glorious sailing trip the rest of the way into Santiago. Dropped the hook in a nice peaceful spot and did my bus trip into Salagua, which is a suburb of Manzanillo. Did some banking , shopping, and of course the obligatory Burger King stop. The next day my friends on Hooligan, Barbara and Tom made it into the anchorage from Barra. THEN THE RAIN STARTED. It has rained for the last 2 days and will continue today and end tomorrow night. I got the soap out and scrubbed down the decks so now I have very clean decks for the first time since I left Guaymas. This afternoon I will dive on Hooligan to clean the bottom in the rain.....I hope I don't get wet. Tomorrow in the rain I think I will sail to Barra. I'm running low on gasoline and water. It's wierd being stuck on the boat at anchor. Still enjoying this fabulous retirement....Thank You God! The photo is Mannasea getting fuel in Acapulco.
01/31/2012, Acapulco Bay
My friends on Hooligan...Tom and Barbara joined me on the car trip to Guadalajara. The roads to and from Guadalajara were very nice and quite scenic. Once in the big city it all changed. The traffic was horrendous and was at a complete standstill. So we just stayed on the outskirts of the city because that is where Costco is located....thank God. That is one trip I don't think I will be taking again. I left Barra/Colimilla for Santiago where I spent a few nights. Then off to Zihuatanejo where I spent about a week enjoying all my old haunts. They (the city of Zihua) really spruced up the town where all the tourists visit. I decided to run down the coast to Acapulco for a few days so I can visit Costco to restock my Jelly-Bellys. I pulled into the bay at night and dropped anchor by the Mexican Navy Tallship Cuatamoc at 10:30pm. About an hour later as I was getting ready to crash a mexican Navy patrol boat came along side and wanted my papers. After awhile they gave me back my papers and told me I was anchored in a restricted area and that I would have to leave immediately. So I raised the anchor and motored over to hotel row and put my anchor down in front of tourist central. It turns out that right past the beach about two blocks up to the main thoroughfare there is a Starbucks, KFC, Burger King, Office Depot, and a Walmart. Just took the bus over to Costco today and that was a bust...NO JELLY BELLYS! I'll motor around the bay tomorrow and get diesel over by the cruiseship terminal then come back to my fine real estate and spend one last peaceful night in Acapulco.This is as far south as I will go this year and now the hard part starts.....heading uphill/north for the rest of the cruising season.
01/04/2012, Colimilla/Barra de Navidad
The above photo is of me not getting the car in reverse when it is really important to do so. A Samurai-built Mexican lifted up on the car as I was gunning it in reverse and it plopped back over the curb. Nothing damaged but my pride. Had a nice Christmas dinner at the Sands hotel. Susan, I baked a traditional double crust apple pie using granny smith apples and it turned out to be fabulous. All the food was great...it always amazes me that the cruisers can put together such an array of tastes on their boats. It was a nice relaxing day off right in the middle of my school paint work. Speaking of which also turned out just right. It was so nice to greet the kids in the morning and wait for the Maestra to show up from her commute from Manzanillo. The kids were peering through the windows because I refused to let them in until the Maestra showed. We tricked out the school completely, including the tile floors and G I'ing the banos. We washed all the windows, fans and cleaned everything that wasn't painted. When I say 'we', it was with the great help of Jim on Murray Grey, Tom and Barbara on Hooligan, Rob and Stephanie on Red Witch, Steve on Magic, and a cruiser on L'Ange. It was nice to get all that help. I posted a lot of pictures in the gallery of the school and of the Christmas potluck. Tomorrow, Tom and Barbara and I will drive to Guadalajara to see the city and stop at Costco...I'm out of Jelly-Bellys. Then Saturday I will cruise on over to Tenacatita for a couple of days to clean the bottom of my boat and maybe Toms boat. Then later in the week I will head south to Zihuatanejo and maybe further south. I think this will end my era of volunteerism as it just costs too much in dinero and time. I'm getting too old and would like to be a full time cruiser for the few healthy years that I have left.

Galapagos by land!
We pile into the boat and next head around to the northern tip of the island to Punta Pitt. Here we plan to snorkel but the ocean currents are too strong to allow it, so we pull into shore and find a harem of sea lions who seem eager to please as we eat our paella (a hot rice, chicken and seafood mixture that was absolutely delicious).They start doing flips in the water right in front of our boat as if they were dolphins! Here we spend a lot of time taking pictures of the sea lions, the marine iguanas sun bathing, as well as the red footed boobies – which can only be spotted on this part of this island. We also see a few Tropical birds, red beaked with a slender tail, which are a hard one to spot in the islands. We then continue for the long 1 ½ hour boat ride bake, stopping at another cover for a beach walk to see mangroves and a lame attempt at snorkeling (the visibility was horrible on this day). This cove is said to have been used by pirates for coming ashore to stash their treasure, needless to say we didn't find any in the sand, and I was looking for it!
As we drive back and I am watching the sun set beyond the clouds (yes, it it finally peaked out for a few minutes at the end of the day), I think to myself – what an AMAZING place! One where a sea lion will come right up to you and sniff your leg – or a marine iguana would let you get so close to use your macro setting for a close up shot. Nothing can really describe it – except to encourage others to go. To explain a cliff plunging in to turquoise coves with what appears like white paint but is actually bird dropping form the many sea birds who call that cliff home is indescribable – and sounds silly on paper but is truly fascinating in person! To think that cliff has been home to these birds for SO many thousands of years before I was even born or built my home on the earth is truly humbling.
We finish the day with a well deserved ice cream bar and dinner.

Microsoft to offer crippled version of Windows 7 for netbooks
Microsoft has confirmed that it will artificially limit the number of simultaneous applications that users will be able to run on the Starter Edition of Windows 7 to just three. Windows 7 Starter Edition is positioned as the affordable edition of its new Windows 7 operating system, and is meant for low-cost netbooks.
The low cost of netbooks means that Microsoft is limited in how much it can charge for Windows 7 on these devices. Indeed, a recent report from the Wall Street Journal indicates that Microsoft currently makes $15 per netbook with Windows XP installed. On the other hand, the company makes $50 to $60 per system that runs on Windows Vista.
With more than half of its operating income in the last quarter coming from selling the Windows operating system, this is a clear move by Microsoft to protect its margins.

Academics To Doctors' Group: Dump Nemeroff3 Comments
By Ed Silverman // March 30th, 2012 // 3:54 pm
Here is an irony, the Anxiety Disorders Association of America, which is devoted to combating anxiety, depression and stress-related disorders, is causing some stress and anxiety among academics and physicians. Why? The professional organization recently named Charles Nemeroff, the controversial psychiatry professor, to its board.
And so, an Internet petition is now circulating that calls on the ADAA board to swiftly remove Nemeroff before the reputation of the organization and its professionals are sullied. How so? His "track record of unethical behavior that has harmed the standing of our field, the credibility of some of its treatments, and risked the well being of millions of patients," according to the petition.
For those who may not recall, Nemeroff was an Emory University professor who was sanctioned for failing to disclose that he had accepted about $500,000 in payments from GlaxoSmithKline while he was also the primary investigator for a National Institutes of Health study of the Paxil antidepressant, which is sold by the drugmaker (see here).
The details emerged thanks to a US Senate Finance committee probe into undisclosed conflicts of interest. At issue was the extent to which such relationships may unduly influence medical research and practice. The Senate probe reached out like an octopus and ensnared various drugmakers, universities, medical journals and the NIH itself, specifically the National Institutes of Mental Health (see this).
Since then, various drugmakers and institutions have gradually adopted policies concerning disclosure. And, of course, the pharmaceutical industry will be required to publish payments to physicians next year. As for Nemeroff, he now chairs the psychiatry department at the Miller School of Medicine at The University of Miami, where he is, once again, seeking grants from the NIH, according to sources.
Next month, Nemeroff is scheduled to make his first appearance as an ADAA board member when the organization holds its annual meeting. The petition hopes to rescind the decision before his public vetting. "In determining its position on the issue, the (ADAA) board apparently overlooked or questioned the severity of the case against Dr. Nemeroff. Nonetheless, we do not believe the board's position represents general sentiment within the professional community, nor does it erase the public record upon which many potential supporters of ADAA will determine their opinion," the petition states.
"By selecting Dr. Nemeroff to represent the organization at its highest level, the board sends the wrong message to ADAA's membership and to the public at large regarding the organization's values and commitment to integrity in patient care, research, and education. ADAA is not immune to the public distrust and decline in professional membership inevitably associated with decay of an organization's credibility."
We asked the ADDA for comment and will update you accordingly. We also left a message for Nemeroff and will convey any reply that we may receive. For now, here is the petition.

Judgments are often made prior to the new year on whether a team is NCAA worthy. And when that team isn't even at full strength, deciding on its success -- or failure -- is premature.
That's the case with NC State.
The Wolfpack, a trendy pick to challenge for a second-through-fifth finish in the ACC behind runaway favorite Duke, are struggling at 6-4. None of the four losses are bad, however. NC State has dropped games to three ranked teams (Georgetown in Charleston, S.C., at Wisconsin, at Syracuse) and one unranked but a potential Pac-10 title contender in Arizona at home Sunday.
Now, on the flip side, none of the Wolfpack's wins are NCAA tourney-résumé-worthy yet, either.
Richard Mackson/US PresswireSidney Lowe hopes the return of Tracy Smith will help NC State get on a roll.
Tracy Smith, NC State's leading returning scorer and most experienced frontcourt player, has played in only the first two games this season. Smith injured his knee in the second game, a win over East Carolina in Charleston, and had to undergo surgery. Coach Sidney Lowe said Tuesday that Smith is progressing from his injury, but he won't see action Wednesday against Delaware State. The hope is that he gets some reps in at least one of the three games -- Alabama A&M (Dec. 28), San Diego (Jan. 1) or Elon (Jan. 5) -- before the ACC opener against Wake Forest on Jan. 8.
"The guy is our returning leading scorer, an all-ACC selection and one of only two seniors that we have on our team, and our main inside player,'' Lowe said. "He means a great deal to this team. He's the one position where we couldn't have an injury, and if we did, it would hurt us more.''
This is not spin. This is reality. NC State may not have won any of the aforementioned games, but with Smith, the Wolfpack would have had a much better chance to defeat Arizona at home or compete and win at Syracuse, which turned out to be only a six-point loss.
Lowe isn't looking for any compassion here. And if the Wolfpack get Smith back for the ACC schedule and still flounder, then take the shots. NC State brought in its best recruiting class under Lowe with Lorenzo Brown, Ryan Harrow and C.J. Leslie, and the three freshmen have all had their moments. Brown had 16 points and seven boards against East Carolina, Harrow finished with 14 points in 18 minutes against Youngstown State, and Leslie pulled down 19 rebounds in that same game.
But they've also shown their inexperience. Brown shot 2-for-10 against Wisconsin, while Harrow shot 2-for-12. Leslie hit only 1-of-14 against Arizona.
Scott Wood has provided the necessary 3s (44.3 percent) but Smith's replacement inside, Richard Howell, can't stay out of foul trouble (three or more fouls in six of 10 games), and his 7.9 points per game is still below Smith's 16-point average from last season.
"We lost to three nationally ranked teams and a good Arizona team without Tracy Smith so you can see he's had a great impact on what's happened here,'' Lowe said. "This is the reality. Unfortunately a lot of people don't live in the real world and look at the situation we're in.
"I'm realistic and if we get Tracy back and finish last I would be disappointed,'' Lowe said. "Until we see where we are and get him back and see what we can do at the end [it's not fair to judge].''
NC State isn't going to finish last in the ACC. Wake Forest likely will. And the Wolfpack have more talent with Smith than Clemson, Georgia Tech and Virginia. There's no reason to believe a healthy NC State can't compete with North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Florida State, Boston College, Maryland and possibly Miami for a No. 2 through No. 5 finish in the league.
All of these teams are flawed, and none has been without issues. "Tracy could settle us down if we hit that drought,'' Lowe said. "We could go with size and get a basket with him, get a foul and sometimes that's all you need is that one play to get going again. That's especially true with young guys. There are some other teams out there that have young guys that aren't tearing it up.''
Lowe said the morale has been fine. He said the Wolfpack players aren't down, especially since they have hope that Smith will return. "We need Tracy. He gives us that inside presence,'' Lowe said. "We've got 20 games left. We have great opportunities and our goal is still in sight. We have to win games, and we feel we can and we should.''
There was more optimism about this season's team than any of the previous four. How the Wolfpack finish in the ACC and where this team ends up in March will be the true indicators of Lowe's progress. He has said he has a good working relationship with new athletic director Debbie Yow. He's a beloved former national championship guard at the school. He fully understands as a veteran of the NBA that he has to win.
He knows that the NCAA tournament selection committee takes into consideration major injuries, how a team develops and whether it wins significant games when it's whole down the stretch. Beating Duke on Jan. 19 at home could cure plenty of early-season ills. Ultimately, if the Wolfpack are in contention for a top-five finish in the ACC, then the judgment of this squad will be rendered with more praise. However, a finish in the lower tier with a healthy Smith could bring necessary and just criticism.

Backyard Brawl, WVU hoops, Heisman talk
THE VIEWS from here:
Of course over my (clear throat, cough)-career covering WVU, I've witnessed many fine games. (No, I wasn't there for the first one, held in Wheeling, in 1895, or the second one, held in Fairmont, in 1896. Nor was I there in 1921, when the teams played the first college football game broadcast by radio via KDKA. Tony Caridi, however, did handle the play-by-play that day.)
I've covered historic Backyard Brawls, like the 2007 game when, on the series' 100th anniversary, a 4-7 Pitt team stunned the nation by defeating a WVU team set for a national championship appearance. I've covered thrilling games, like that of '94, when Peterstown's Chad Johnston hit Tridelphia's Zach Abraham with 15 seconds left to secure a 47-41 Mountaineer win. Was around when Jeff Hostetler put together WVU's version of "The Drive" in a 24-21 Mountaineer win in Morgantown.
I dug the Nike Pro Combat uniforms of last season's game. Kind of like the animosity between WVU's Dana Holgorsen and Pitt's Todd Graham heading into this one.
So the series health is a concern to this longtime observer, as I'm sure it is to many in the Mountain and Keystone states. WVU, you might have heard, is moving to the Big 12 and Pitt is moving to the ACC.
Will there be a Backyard Brawl next season, as there has been every year since 1943?
"I've talked to [Pitt athletic director] Steve Pederson," said WVU athletic director Oliver Luck on Monday. "The short answer is neither one of us knows right now.
"There is significant interest from both. But we won't know until the situation stabilizes. We very well could miss a year or two."
The "situation" of course centers on the lawsuits involving WVU and the Big East. Luck said he spoke to Pederson last week.
With standout Ray Graham out for the season, both offensive backfields are in the same position: searching. WVU has better receivers, but Pitt has a better offensive line. Both have holes at linebacker.
Should be a good one. Expecting points on the board.
Know this: It might not be a runaway for Luck's son, Andrew, Stanford's quarterback, expected to be the NFL's top pick in the 2012 draft.
Andrew Luck has fared very well, completing 70.3 percent of his passes and throwing for 2,937 yards for the Cardinal. He's fifth nationally in pass efficiency.
But check out the four ahead of him in the stats: Wisconsin's Russell Wilson, Baylor's Robert Griffin III, Houston's Case Keenum and Boise State's Kellen Moore.
All are solid candidates. Keenum is also No. 1 in passing yards with 4,269 and yards per game (388). He's hitting 73.4 percent of his passes. Griffin, who engineered the upset of Oklahoma, is hitting 73 percent of his passes and has 3,572 yards.
Oklahoma State's Brandon Weeden is No. 2 in passing, averaging 32.3 completions a game.
Like runners? Wisconsin's Montee Ball is leading the country by averaging 133.3 rushing yards. Tacklers? Boston College linebacker Luke Kuechley is leading the nation by averaging 16.55. By recording 14 tackles against Notre Dame, he set a new ACC record for career tackles with 523 tackles in 33 games. Sackers? Whitney Mercilus of Illinois has 13.5. (Great name for a pass rusher, eh?)
Understand WVU's Geno Smith is just a cut below the front-runners. He's sixth nationally in passing yards, eighth in completions per game and No. 21 in pass efficiency. Teammate Tavon Austin is the nation's No. 2 all-purpose runner. Also, Marshall's Vinny Curry is fourth nationally in sacks with 11 and No. 2 in tackles for loss (1.86 per game average).
"We've been selling them almost constantly all day," said Civic Center box office manager Regina Baire.
Those interested may call the Civic Center at 304-345-7469 (extension 0) or hit the ticket office from 10 a.m. through game time.
Our state lost a gem over the weekend when Nate Crescenzi passed away at 82 at Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown.
Crescenzi was a basketball, football and baseball coach at Barrackville High. The Bisons won a state title under him in 1968. Crescenzi then went on to coach hoops at North Marion.
Crescenzi was also a administrator, but what made him special was his easy way with people, his volunteer efforts and the way he combined education and sports.
He helped form Pop Warner football, elementary and AAU teams. He worked for his county Board of Education. But what Crescenzi will be remembered for is his insistence of education taking precedence over sports.
Many talk the talk. He walked the walk.

I enjoy mill decks for the alternate victory conditions (Poison counters don't count. After killing people too fast with infect, it kinda got boring =_=). Plus the color combo lets me play a bit of control on top of that. My favorite colors have always been Red, Blue and Black, so it's relatively compatible with my playstyle.

As for tournaments, I am really happy to see so many cool cards in the tournament scene right now being used from the RTR block (things like Sphinx's Revelation is being played in ... 4-color midrange?!).
One of the guys here played that 5 color Omniscience Door deck. That deck looks so fun but so expensive.

Maclay School has been named the winner of the 2012 Battle of the Belts.
The school had a 96% seat belt compliance rate. It received a $1000 check from Fonvielle, Lewis, Foote and Messer to use toward graduation, prom or other student activities.
"It feels very good. It's good to know my Marauders wear their seatbelts every day. We know how crazy the roads are and we try to take care of ourselves," said Ben Suber, a Maclay High School senior who accepted the check for his school.
Leon High School was the most improved for boosting its student seat belt use from 75% last year to 90% this year. It also received a $1000 check.
The Tallahassee Police Department sponsors the friendly competition each year in hopes of saving lives. They urge parents of all teen drivers to have a talk with them about safety as graduation weekend nears.

How do I wean my DS off the swing?
MY 9 week old DS loves to nap in his Fisher Price Cradle and Swing. During the day, he will ONLY nap in his swing while it is swinging. If I try to turn it off after he's asleep for 30 mins, he will always wake right up, so I just keep it on. At night, he sleeps perfectly in his bassinet. But during the day he refuses to take naps in his bassinet and I can only get him to sleep in his swing. I am going back to work in 5 weeks and my babysitter does not have a swing at her house. She only has bouncy chairs. I have tried many times to get him to nap in his bouncy chair so he gets used to it but its very difficulty to get him to fall asleep and the second I stop bouncy him he wakes right up. I dont know what to do once he's at the babysitter. How will he nap with no swing? When will he outgrow needing to nap with the swinging motion? Any advise would be much appreciated!

My daughter was the same way. She napped fabulously in the swing for 2+ hours, but for only about 30-45 mins in her crib during the day. I thought it was strange since she spent her nights in her bed just fine. She outgrew it eventually. She got too big for the swing and naps started in her crib. Like the other postsaid , he's only 9 weeks. At this point, I wouldn't even bother attempting to transition him. Buy a cheap swing from a consignment shop or garage sale and leave it at your sitters house. It'll be worth it for your son and for your sitter.posted 07/23/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Honestly, bring the swing to the babysitter's house, or buy a new one. It works for him, go with it. He won't need the swing forever, but for now it works for him. He's still so little.posted 07/23/2013 by Jellyjars

HarperCollins Publishers Ltd.
March 11, 2014
Winner of the 2014 Living Now Book Award for Inspirational Memoir
Nightline anchor Dan Harris embarks on an unexpected, hilarious, and deeply skeptical odyssey through the strange worlds of spirituality and self-help, and discovers a way to get happier that is truly achievable.
After having a nationally televised panic attack on Good Morning America, Dan Harris knew he had to make some changes. A lifelong nonbeliever, he found himself on a bizarre adventure, involving a disgraced pastor, a mysterious self-help guru, and a gaggle of brain scientists. Eventually, Harris realized that the source of his problems was the very thing he always thought was his greatest asset: the incessant, insatiable voice in his head, which had both propelled him through the ranks of a hyper-competitive business and also led him to make the profoundly stupid decisions that provoked his on-air freak-out.
We all have a voice in our head. It's what has us losing our temper unnecessarily, checking our email compulsively, eating when we're not hungry, and fixating on the past and the future at the expense of the present. Most of us would assume we're stuck with this voice – that there's nothing we can do to rein it in – but Harris stumbled upon an effective way to do just that. It's a far cry from the miracle cures peddled by the self-help swamis he met; instead, it's something he always assumed to be either impossible or useless: meditation. After learning about research that suggests meditation can do everything from lower your blood pressure to essentially rewire your brain, Harris took a deep dive into the underreported world of CEOs, scientists, and even marines who are now using it for increased calm, focus, and happiness.
10% Happier takes readers on a ride from the outer reaches of neuroscience to the inner sanctum of network news to the bizarre fringes of America's spiritual scene, and leaves them with a takeaway that could actually change their lives.

When asked about the shoulder, Jake Knott said, "It's not that bad . . . I can deal with it tomorrow . . . I'm used to that (haha)."
Klein says his arm would have to fall off to keep him out of the game.
So, it seems that the team was okay with Baylor wondering if Knott was going to play, but we are going to make clear to Oklahoma that he will be there.

Oklahoma news briefs for April 9, 2013
In brief
Student falls from bus
A Highland East Junior High student was injured Monday afternoon when he fell off a moving bus, police said. The 13-year-old got off the bus in the 300 block of Nancy Jane Court and tried to get back on as the bus drove away, police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said. The boy grabbed a bus window. The bus driver didn't know the boy was holding onto the bus and drove a block and a half before stopping as students yelled to him, Lewis said. Police do not know if the boy fell before or after the bus stopped. The teen suffered a head injury and was taken to OU Medical Center, Lewis said.

Hello,Thank you for allowing us to assist you with this problem.
Yes it is possible you will be billed for the medical expenses. In New Jersey, the CivilUnion Law states that committed same-sex couples must receive the same rights andbenefits enjoyed by married couples. The new Act provides that whenever in anylaw, rule, regulation, judicial or administrative proceeding, or otherwise, reference is made to "marriage," "husband," "wife," "spouse,""next of kin," "widow," or another word which indicates a spousal relationship, the same will include a civil union member.
So along with the benefit there is the same burden such as the financial obligation spouses share for medical expenses.
You stated that you have a Civil Union and if that is the case, then the separate tax filings will have no affect because just like married couples the separate filing has not legal affect on the obligation to support each other.
I can not say how the medical treatment providers will expect payment. They may have a financial hardship program for those who can not pay so I suggest you talk with the hospital and the social worker who may be able to tell you about such programs.

Armey, chairman of the Washington-based FreedomWorks group that has helped coordinate Tea Party protests, said conservative activists must continue to fight against an expanded government role in health care and then prepare for a fight on a cap-and-trade environmental bill.
"We've got the bad guys on the run," Armey told a crowd of about 150 that crammed the patio of the Yard House restaurant.
"We have given the massive great big government takeover of health care a TKO for the time being. But they're not going to go away empty handed," Armey said.
Armey said if Democrats lack the 60 votes needed to prevent a filibuster in the Senate, they might try to use a rare parliamentary procedure called budget reconciliation to limit debate and "cram this down our throats" with a simple majority of 51 votes.
Armey urged activists to pressure Democratic Florida Sen. Bill Nelson not to support the reconciliation approach. If he does, Armey said, "he's going to be in big trouble in the polls. It's not right."
In response to a question about the reconciliation issue, Nelson aide Madeline Otto said Nelson "prefers a bipartisan bill."
Armey is scheduled to visit Miami tonight and Fort Myers on Wednesday to meet with Tea Party activists. In an interview, Armey called the Tea Party movement "the biggest spontaneous grass-roots uprising I've ever observed."
Critics have pointed to the involvement of lawmaker-turned-lobbyist Armey and FreedomWorks to argue the Tea Party movement is a manufactured phenomenon.
But Armey said FreedomWorks merely offers help to activists who have already formed groups in their own communities.
"Real people — people we've never heard of before…found us and they would address questions to us," Armey said. "So we gave them what you would call technical assistance and advice. But they put the groups together in their own home towns with their e-mail lists and with whatever communications. This is the most viral thing I've ever seen."

~New Generation Rockets
by Dream
Chapter 1~ Training Camp
I'm Dream Thunderson. I recently joined a the New generation Rockets, and evil organization. I don't know why I joined, but it seemed exciting. It said exactly,: Wanna be rich, have lot's of pokemon, and be the hottest trainer? Join the Lil' Rockets!
I was putting on a golden suit with a sun, and a R in the middle of it. Then I put on golden pants. Next, as it stated in the instructions, I put on the gold newboy hat on. I looked at the picture. It was on the rigt way.
"I might as well jazz it up a bit." I flipped on the newboy hat, and swung it backwards. Good, I thought. I can go attend training camp now. I stuffed the instructions in py pocket, as I left.
It was night time, around midnight, but they clearly stated to go at night. I wonder why? I went into the forest, and walked for what seemed like hours. Finally, I saw a wooden entrance that said, "New Generation Rockets Trainee base" Wih all the excitment bubbled inside, I dashed towards it. I noticed lot's of kids wearing the same thing I was.
Suddenly a voice boomed, "All Trainees come to the...uh...cafe." The voice sounded worried. I really didn't care. After that much walking, you could call me the hungriest boy on earth. I walked towards a sign, that had an arrow pointing to the right with Cafe on it.
As I turned the corner, I almost puked. All I saw was picnic tables with empty plates. "Nooo!" I screamed. I sat down in disappointment. What sucked was that I was hungry, when a young boy, no older than eight came on stage. He tapped the microphone twice, then began speaking.
"Hello. I'm you leader, Robert. I may be small, but if you underestimate me, prepare to get a beatdown." He said, "As you see, you training to become a Lil Rocket member. You can easily do that when Trainee camp is finished. In two weeks. But for now, you train!"

Going by the number of abusive tweets, it is apparent the countrys citizenryor at least the twitteratiis convinced the Ambani brothers are ripping off the country. One is hoarding gas and the other withholding payments to the public sector NTPC while he continues to over-charge electricity customers in the capital.
This newspaper has spent far too much time, and valuable newsprint, explaining why gas prices needed to be raisedin this year itself, it will result in $4 billion more investment from Reliance alone. But even if you assume the senior Ambani has hoarded gas in the manner most believe he has, it has to be galling that it has taken himso much for his owning the Congress party!29 months, and lots of legal fees and Supreme Court time, to finally get the government to agree to the panel of arbitrators who will decide on whether or not he has hoarded gas.
If two people have a disagreement on somethingin this case, over several billion dollars worth of capital spending and/or gas suppliesyou would think they would be in a hurry to settle it, but not quite. The government simply dug in its heels, first over not wanting to arbitrate, then over appointing an arbitratorin each instance, Reliance paid Harish Salve good money to argue before the Supreme Court to get the government to move.
In the case of Vodafone, when the finance minister said the government would defend the telecom majors arbitration notice, what he really meant was that the government would keep arguing that the tax dispute was not something that qualified under the Indo-Netherlands Bilateral Investment Treaty.
Imagine the irony: You slap a tax case on Vodafone which, under the then law, is not applicable; when you lose the case in the highest court of the land, you change the law; and then impose a penalty and a penal interest rate because the company evaded a tax under a law that did not exist when the supposed evasion is supposed to have taken place. And when the company wants to go in for neutral arbitration, you refuse to even start the process.
Even that, it has to be admitted, is the kind of simplification that journalists are typically guilty of. Had the government agreed to go in for overseas arbitration of the type Vodafone wanted, and had it lost the case, there is no certainty that it would have implemented the arbitral award.

I want to ask, what is the behavior when the user just connects from a HELO session?
In my case, from a HELO session, it doesn't ask for authentication & the user is able to send the mail?
Should there be a way to disable HELO & only allow EHLO ?

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) -- Mei Xiang had everyone fooled. The giant panda at the National Zoo was showing all the signs that she was about to give birth, but after one last ultrasound and hormone analysis, veterinarians said it was a false alarm. It was Mei Xiang's fifth pseudo pregnancy.
It wasn't all bad. The Zoo reopened the Panda enclosure that had been shut down for a few days to give Mei Xiang some quiet time in case she was about to be a mom.
Kindergarten teacher Eli Phillips and his wife Cari drove down from Vermont to see the pandas over their spring break, seeing a panda cub would have been a bonus.
"I'm just thrilled to see these amazing animals," Cari Phillips said. "There are so few of them left."
"For some reason, kids are really into them, and I've gotten excited about them because of them," Eli Phillips said. "I'm just thrilled to see a panda in person for the first time."
Mikey Lyna from Boston roped his grandparents into a trip to DC just to see the panda. His brother and sister went with their mom to go visit relatives in South Carolina.
Right on cue, Tian Tian, walked over to the window within a few feet of Lyna.
"That's so cool,"he said. "I've never seen one before."
While Tian Tian entertained the crowd in the newly reopened exhibit, Mei Xiang was resting comfortably in isolation. When her appetite and hormone levels return to normal, she'll be allowed back in the yard.
As for hopes of a cub, Senior Curator Brandie Smith says they're already planning for next year.
"We were so excited about the prospect of adding a new cub to the world," Smith said. There are only 1,600 left. "We'll try again and hopefully this time next year we'll be celebrating a birthday," Smith says.
Mei Xiang has been a mom before. Her first cub, Tai Shan, was born in 2005. He's back in China now, entertaining zoo visitors there. The contract for the National Zoo's two remaining pandas expires this year. Officials are working to get it extended.

I had scheduled a doctors appointment for today about 4 months ago, and it turned out I wasn't feeling well! Quite the coincidence, huh? After my appointment I only had two more classes, so I just skipped and came home. I have a whole long list of things to catch up on, I feel like today is the day I will finally get organized! Oh, those Wednesdays.... :)
How is everyone's week going?

Abdullah is a York University history prof with post-graduate degrees from Georgetown University, specializing in studies of the region. His direct personal connection provides some useful insights. No, he argues, Iraq is not an artificial entity, contrary to what many foreign authorities have claimed. He points out that much of the U.S.-Canada border is a straight line, like the much-maligned straight lines delineating Iraq.
American actions in Iraq, building on this mistaken interpretation, have served to emphasize Sunni, Shi'a, and Kurd distinctiveness, but, he argues, prior to the invasion these distinctions were less important, with political and civil society organizations crossing these boundaries. While his argument may hold less strongly for the Kurdish area, he points out that the Kurds are now strongly supporting a federated Iraq, fearing that the disintegration of the country would leave them at the mercy of Iran and Turkey.
Saddam Hussein is, quite naturally, a central figure in the book, a villain who brought untold calamity to his countrymen through his crimes and follies. However, he is not alone in these. The United States also has much to answer for. The U.S. actively supported the Iraqi attack on Iran, trying to maintain an embarrassed silence about Iraqi use of poison gas, both against the Iranians and against its own Kurds. I remember the news photo of a smiling Donald Rumsfeld shaking hands with Hussein. Then there was Kuwait.
Just prior to his invasion of Kuwait, Saddam met with April Glaspie, the U.S. ambassador. She told him that "we have no opinion on the Arab-Arab conflicts, like your border disagreement with Kuwait." When the invasion came, President Bush senior had a rather different take on the matter.
The peace that followed the Iraqi defeat was a strange one indeed. Bombing of Iraqi targets continued. Yet, even though Bush One encouraged Iraqis to rise up against Saddam, he sat on his hands while Saddam's forces decimated those that tried, even allowing Saddam's attack helicopters into action against Shi'a resistance. Then there was the embargo.
U.N. sanctions were devastating. Per capita income fell by at least two-thirds and perhaps by more than three-fourths from 1984 to 1995. In 1998, Denis Halliday, coordinator of humanitarian relief and U.N. Assistant Secretary-General, resigned, declaring that the sanctions policy "is totally bankrupt ... Five thousand children are dying every month."
Occupying forces protected oil-related facilities but allowed looting and destruction of museums, libraries, and private homes. Not surprisingly, Abdullah sees American thirst for oil and profits at the expense of the country as motivating factors in their activities in the country.
Through it all, Abdullah maintains a glimmer of hope that Iraq will somehow survive. In spite of the American-impelled sectarianism, Iraqis of all sorts believe in the unity of the country, even if in a federated structure.
One omission in Abdullah's account surprises. In 1958, General Abdul-Karim Qasim led a coup that overthrew the monarchy. During his populist rule, he put controls on the oil industry and sought greater revenues from oil for the government coffers. He also used some Communists in his administration. A year later, there was the awesome spectacle of Baghdad withdrawing from the Baghdad Pact! American intelligence enlisted Saddam Hussein to take part in an unsuccessful assassination plot. He continued on the U.S. payroll in his sojourns in Syria and Cairo, and when Qasim was finally killed and the Ba'thists came to power, Hussein got his toe-hold on the way to power as head of the secret police. This detail in no way contradicts Abdullah's analysis but in fact serves to complement it.
The book is a worthwhile read.

IK's Stealth Interfaces and Amplitube Amp Sims
IK's Stealth and Amplitube Products - Review
In all, I found the IK line of products to be very useful and well worth the investment. They are very usable, user friendly, reliable thus far and a very good value.
Both pieces of hardware are essentially a midi interface to take your analog signal and digitize it making it record ready to your DAW of choice (or in a standalone mode discussed later). Note that I own and used both hardware items described. What I like about these is not only do they drive IK software but they also can be used as a simple midi input and, for instance, will also drive the onboard Sims preloaded in Garageband (Mac).
Stealth Plug:
Stealth Plug Features Link >>
When first dipping my toes in to the Amp Sim world, I really just wanted to do that, dip my toes in to see if it was for me. To introduce myself to this world, I started out with the Stealth Plug.
The device is very simple. It's a 15 foot cord that plugs on to your guitar's 1/4" jack and, with the USB plug at the other end, plugs in to a USB port on your computer. About a third of the way down the cord from your guitar is a little pod which contains the midi stuff. It also has a some controls too. Primary is an 1/8" headphone jack. This is key when using the IK interface, when you select an output in the interface, you can use the plug and play 'in silence' via the headphones. The pod also has volume controls.
Not much more about the plug. It is virtually plug and play. Very simple and easy and miles ahead of simple 1/4" to USB converter plugs. With the midi controller, it converts it full quality.
The plug does come packaged with Amplitube Live (
Amplitube Live >>
) Amp Sim software. While I will be covering software further, it's a pretty handy starter kit and in reality is more than a starter kit. It has many very satisfying Amp Sims to play with based on Marshalls, Fenders and others. It is a limited version of essentially the big brother Amplitube 2. Still, much to play with a very useful with a little tinkering and who doesn't tinker with their tone?
Stealth Pedal:
Stealth Pedal Features Link >>
The Stealth Pedal is, as the Stealth Plug, essentially a USB interface to take your analog guitar signal to your computer. First to mention that this thing is a tank! I mean that in a good way. It's very meaty feeling and very sturdy. It takes the form factor of a Dunlop Wah and is a good bit more sturdy. Feels road ready. I'd have no fear of it holding up under road-type conditions.
Key to the product is the midi part but it is also made as an expression pedal for various effects contained in the Amplitube software such as Wah, Volume and Rotary. As an expression pedal, it pretty much does what they do, rocking back and forth giving you the effect. Like a Wah, it has the 'On/Off' button under the 'toe' of the footpad.
Expanded from the Stealth Plug functionality is are the additional inputs and outputs. Like the Plug, it has a headphone jack (1/8"), USB out (to the computer) and Volume. In addition, there are inputs an outputs for both Left and Right channels for both balanced and unbalanced signals. If you are using in a standard configuration to the computer, you would just plug in to the left channel input. Very simple.
The pedal also has jacks for expanding to other IK pedal products at an additional cost but not prohibitively so if you feel the need. You can buy an extension expression pedal which is a simplified version of the Stealth as it is a Wah-type pedal with a cord to plug in to the Core Stealth Pedal. When using this external expression, you now have the ability to assign the main pedal to one effect and the extension to another.
If that weren't enough, there is also an external footswitch you can plug in to the Stealth Pedal. This allows you to assign up to two 'On/Off' switching to selected effects pedals.
Ok, that's all kind of confusing. In short, all at one time, you can Have the core Stealth Pedal assigned as an expression and on/off, the the external expression doing the same for another Wah/volume type effect and control the 'On/Off' ability of yet two more pedals.
Oh, yes It works well. Part of the software interface is the ability to set the sweep of the expression. I always set to max but it is a nice feature and give you lots of control. Since it's very Dunlop-like Converts from a Crybaby will be very comfortable with this pedal.
In all, I found the software to be pretty safisying and easy to use. Like any program, there is a something of a learning curve. Most notable, selecting your Input and Output sources. Not hard to learn but if you don't look at instructions, you're going to wonder why you hear no sound. Once you know it, walk in the park.
Central to all Amplitube software products is X-Gear. It is the central interface you use for Amplitube products. What's very cool is that not only does the interface work within most of the popular DAW's but can be used as an independent, standalone product for practicing. X-Gear, when paired with the more robust Sims (read: not with Amplitube Live), allows you to mix and match two sets of signal chains (stomps, amps, cabs and rack effects). This gives you a massive set of options for dialing in 'that' tone. Other parts of X-Gear are some threshold controls (output volume to the DAW), noise gating, input etc. Last is a handy little learner tool to help learn songs by loading any MP3 type file on your computer in to the interface to play along amplified. It lets to mix yourself in and lets you target and loop areas as needed. Haven't used it but seems pretty cool.
Amplitube 2 Software:
Amplitube 2 Features Link >>
Amplitube 2 Audio Demos Link >>
In my opinion, this is largely the most usable package of all the Sim software. In ways, it's looking to be the broadest swath of Amp Sims possible and really does that pretty well. Like any product that tries to be all things to all people, it can only go so far. That's not a limitation though. Not really at all. It means that the more extreme you want you push your tone, the more you might find the other IK Sim product (i.e. - 'Metal').
Like most of the Amplitube products, the amp selection is segmented in to ways of selecting a preset rigs and effects: Complete Rigs, Pure Amps, Signature, Style and VIP. Rigs and Pure Amps are similar with the difference that the Rigs are set with effects. Style is just that, what general style you're looking, this gives you a good starting point. VIP are IK's folks giving preset Rigs they've created and, last, Signature Amps. This is kinda cool because they've taken created sims of Signature tones. Example, Brian May's Bohemian Rhapsody lead tone. They are really good emulations. Fun to play with and is a good way to see how various settings for amps an effects work within the interface. A good way to learn about the product.
Amplitube 2 is probably the most used of the Sims for me. It's versatility is its strength. It's meets the needs from country, classic rock, jazz, blues and some metal. What I like is that the Sims have a certain warmth to them that many other Sims from other makers seem to lack. Perhaps that's just me. No Sim will ever quite have the sonic impact of the air moving from a speaker to a mic's diaphragm. This is so close that it will satisfy even the most picky.
Amplitube Metal Software:
Amplitube Metal Features Link >>
Amplitube Metal Audio Demos Link >>
Just as the product name says, this is about Metal. Whether it's Marshall's, 5150's, Randalls or some other specialty amps, you can really kick up the overdrive with this collection of Sims. It really is a metal players dream. What I liked was that there were lots of different amps and types of metal represented in the collection.
Unlike the Amplitube 2, where I somewhat could play the simulations 'out of the box' with little adjustment, I found myself tinkering with these amps much more. I don't think they are flawed Amp Sims but I think I'm that picky when I'm looking for metal/hard rock tone. Good news, when you mess around with it, the amps, effects and rack gear are very responsive to changes. If your not a person that likes monkeying with tone, and want it good straight away, you might get a little impatient messing about.
Me, I love messing with tone. After some tinkering, I was able to great tone in a number of different styles. Point being, the tone is in there even if the presets weren't exactly to my tastes. As we all do on any amp, even amps we've owned for a long time, we twiddle knobs endlessly. I don't want to have people veer away from the product but to more understand that it is a product that might take a little more tweaking to get your butter tone.
Amplitube Hendrix Software:
Amplitube Hendrix Features Link >>
Amplitube Hendrix Audio Demos Link >>
This one is as advertised. According to IK's marketing stuff, this is the only Amp Simulation software licensed by the Hendrix estate and noted because of the quality. Well, it is really good. There are many different iterations of various Hendrix tones. What I found interesting is the sometimes slight variances from one song tone to another. It isn't just a Hendrix fuzztone but actually digs in to the variations.
It's great for lots of vintage sounds. With exception of firing up the Wah and scratching out a little intro sound to Voodoo Chile, I found myself tinkering to get a more 'me' vintage tone. Some of the presets are great and don't need to be touched but some I found weren't quite what I wanted and I would twiddle a bit. In a way, it seemed blasphemous to alter a sacred Hendrix tone but in doing so, I was able to cull some cool stuff from the Strat.
Not much more can be said: Looking for Hendrix tone in a Sim, this will do exactly that and pretty satisfyingly.
Amplitube Ampeg SVX Bass Sim Software:
Amplitube Ampeg SVX Bass Features Link >>
Amplitube Ampeg SVX Bass Audio Demos Link >>
Ok, haven't used it yet. Planned ahead in ordering this. I have a bass on the way so I'll know soon enough. I think point in mentioning this is that IK's focus isn't solely on guitar but Bass too.
Pretty obviously, I like the products that I've obtained. I haven't been able to max out my experience with them yet but it is due to the incredible amount of options each package contains. Key is that they're very good at exactly what they are tying to do; simulate a classic amp tone. I've heard it said that you can't completely emulate the sound of a great amp and a high quality mic in a studio. I agree. There is an enormity to that sound that is hard to come by.
However, owning several expensive amps, delicate and costly mics and a great studio room is not in the cards for most all players. So, this gets you far further along that what the average Joe can get from a home studio. The case can be made for sacrifices with amp sims but they are few.
With that in mind, hunting down a good sim/interface package, IK is a good choice in my opinion. Easy to use. Can be used in a DAW or stand alone. Tone options and tinkering make for a pretty compelling bunch of products. The hardware is easy and well made. Worth consideration.

Great Revue
Thanks Jeff for taking the time to explain your setup in great detail, it was very informative. I've tried several sofware based effect and amp simulators, and I've found (as you pointed out), a good quality interface for your instrument and some kind of hardware controller are a must.
You also need a decent computer, especially if you are planning on recording at the same time you're using theses sims.
My personal opinon is that for studio work those sims are great, but for giging I would prefer to use a standalone effects system such as the Digitec RP500.

Dying To Hear A Good Song
I like to think I can handle most things but for the moment immortality seems to be beyond me. If I believed every bit of doom-laden news I read, I wouldn't bother getting out of bed. I would just lie there waiting to be taken by a flood, a tempest, a terrible disease, or turned into a gruesome combination of fat, sugar, and plastic by the horrors of modern diet. Cryogenics? Not for me thanks, I like to be warm. As for being kept alive forever, who would pay for it – my kids? I don't think so. I can hear it now –"Sorry Dad, we both need a holiday, and what with the mortgage and everything……" Out comes the plug. Dad's a gonner.
"You may be a King or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later you dance with the reaper." This little snippet from Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey might not be the most deeply metaphysical pondering on the subject of mortality, but it came back to me recently when I had to attend a memorial service and started thinking about the kind of music that gets played at funerals. I have never heard of anyone having a Bill and Ted song as their swan song yet it's pretty much certain that someone somewhere will have chosen one. But, sorry fellas, it's not for me.
So, facing the inevitable, I have decided that when the day comes I want to choose the music! You only have to look at the "Top Ten" surveys of music chosen, usually by relatives, for the big day to realise this is one job you do not want to leave to someone else. In the UK it seems that the top choices are "My Way" by Frank Sinatra; "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion; "Angels" by Robbie bloody Williams; Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You"; and Elton John's "Candle In The Wind". I swear if any of that stuff is played for me I will jump out of the box and throttle somebody. I get to choose OK? So, here goes.
My number one choice would be "Boulder to Birmingham" by the elegant and wonderful Emmylou Harris who co-wrote the song with Bill Danoff after the death of her fellow musician and great friend Gram Parsons. Parsons was only 26 when he died the classic rock star death, making headlines even after he died when his friends tried to fulfil his wishes by stealing his casket and burning it in his beloved Joshua Tree National Park. If there is a better eulogy to a lost friend I have never heard it. Musically and lyrically it is a masterpiece. So I expect tears right? Take an onion to rub in your eyes if you have to.
Next up is "The Ballad of Easy Rider" by Roger McGuinn. Reputedly written or co-written by Bob Dylan though only credited to McGuinn, this song's lyrics are an ode to freedom and travel – "All he wanted was to be free, and that's the way it turned out to be" and "Wherever that river flows, that's where I want to be". The song's simple lyrics were a kind of anthem for me for most of my life.
Those two will do for now but there are a lot of contenders for third place. Maybe I should get a Juke Box for my send-off and make it a party. But, remember, I choose the music – all anyone else has to do is bring the onions.
