More Information TRUE LEGENDS. Icons of the alternative ska/punk/funk scene since the early 80's, FISHBONE continue to be at the forefront in the music world by their relentless touring for over 30 years. Singer/ sax player Angelo Moore and bassist Norwood Fisher have carried the torch through all the fads and trends in the music industry and have never sold out their integrity. Fishbone has influenced so many bands through the years such as The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Bad Brains, Primus, Sublime, No Doubt, Gogol Bordello, the punk scene of the 80's, the alternative scene of the late 80's/ early 90's and 3rd wave ska scene of the late 90's; each and every musician will admittedly pay homage to a band that broke down the barriers between rock, punk, funk, ska and reggae. They created music that branched out into a plethora of genres of music. Their music has been controversial and inspiring covering important topics such as poverty, racism, fascism, nuclear war, and oppression. Albums like "Truth and Soul", "The Reality of My Surroundings" and "Give a Monkey a Brain and He'll Swear He's the Center of the Universe", is timeless and groundbreaking and continues to influence a new generation, no matter what is happening in the music world.
And for one night only, FISHBONE will make their presence known in the small college town of Chico, CA. After Chico, they are playing the Coachella Music Festival both weekends. This might be your only chance to catch Fishbone in Northern California! If you have never seen them before or even heard a CD of theirs, if you love music, you must go and check it out. Blazing horns, ripping guitars, badass funky bass and an energy that can't be duplicated. These are the originators, the godfathers of punk and soul. Do yourself a favor and buy a ticket. For a mere $15, you will get to experience music history in the making.

How Stories Shape Our World
Humans are a creatures of an imaginative realm called Storyland. Storyland is our home and before we die we will all spend decades there.
We read novels. We go to movies. We watch TV serials, and the faux non-fiction of reality shows and pro wrestling. We groove to ultra-short fictions in popular songs. We lose ourselves in video games that make us the rock-jawed heroes of action films. And when we are not consuming stories made up by others, we are making up our own.
Our children play at story by instinct—inventing scenarios and acting them out in Neverland. When our bodies sleep, our restless minds stay awake all night telling fevered stories. And we don't stop dreaming when the sun comes up. We spend hours per day spontaneously generating daydreams where all of our vain, dirty wishes—and all of our secret fears—come true.
Scientists and philosophers have long debated the human essence—the thing that sets us apart most fundamentally from the rest of creation. Is it intelligence (Homo sapiens)? Is it the sophistication of tool use (Homo habilis)? Is it upright posture (Homo erectus)? Is it playfulness (Homo ludens)? Or could it be language or the complexity of our social behavior? These factors are all important, but an equally important factor has been overlooked. Big brains and upright posture set us apart, but so does the way we live in Storyland. I give you Homo fictus (fiction man),[1] the great ape with the storytelling mind.
Science has failed to identify and fully describe Homo fictus for two main reasons. First, the individual components of the storytelling impulse are often seen as insignificant. Most view fiction as a happy frill in human life or, worse, as a mentally and ethically corrosive waste of time. Similarly, in recent decades, many scientists have dismissed dreams as useless waste products of the sleeping brain, and daydreams have always had a rotten reputation. Second, storytelling has been chopped to bits and scattered across the university. The musicologists get stories in song. The folklorists get traditional tales. Literary and film scholars get novels and movies respectively. Religious scholars get sacred myths. Developmental psychologists get pretend play. Neuroscientists and psychologists get dreams and daydreams.
This keeps us from seeing stories–from opera librettos to nightmares–as aspects of a unified mental process involving the construction of imaginative scenarios. It keeps us from seeing how story infiltrates every aspect of how we live and think. As a result, Storyland mostly remains an undiscovered and unmapped country. We don't know for sure why we crave story, or why Storyland exists in the first place. And we don't know precisely how spending vast stretches of our lives absorbed in stories shapes us as individuals and cultures. In short, nothing so central to the human condition is so incompletely understood.
But a new science of story is bearing first fruits. Did you know that fiction enhances our empathy and our performance on tests of social ability? That it is better at changing our values and beliefs than non-fiction that is designed to persuade? Did you know that this change can be so strong and far-reaching that it helps bring on war ("Uncle Tom's Cabin") or rapid social change (social scientists give TV shows like "Will and Grace" most of the credit for the recent liberalization of American attitudes toward homosexuality)? Did you know that the stories in dreams, fiction, and children's make-believe, all hew to the same universal grammar, featuring a protagonist struggling against obstacles? Did you know that small children spontaneously create the same kind of make-believe whether they live in Africa or Asia, in suburbs or slums? Did you know that spoilers usually spoil nothing (in fact, psychologists find that we like "spoiled" fiction better)? Did you know that the poetic justice we find in most fiction (good guys and bad guys getting what they deserve), warps our sense of reality, causing us to the world as more just than it actually is? Did you know that we are all more like James Frey and Mike Davies than we'd like to admit—artfully arranging the facts of our lives, fudging a little or a lot–all for the sake of a better story?
Much has been learned, but more remains in darkness. For example, the very existence of dreams and fiction are two of the biggest unresolved mysteries in human evolutionary biology. Why do we spend huge swathes of our lives inside apparently frivolous imaginative simulations? To make progress on this question and others, we need intensive collaboration across the humanities and sciences—pooling granular knowledge from the arts with science's tools of creative hypothesis testing. And for scientists, scholars, and artists to get serious about this partnership, they must first appreciate the wonderful strangeness of Homo fictus—the beast who lives in fiction.

P.S. : I am not a Harry Potter fan but i believe writing about fantasy and magic requires imaginative and creative thinking unlike the novels written by Mr. Bhagat which gives a feeling of some b-grade movie scripts.

What is the opposite of 'swine flu'?
Answer: Swine didn't fly!
What is the logical paradox with swine flu?
Answer: Swines cannot fly.
True story (unverified but widely claimed): Some ignorant fool had once remarked that America will never have a black president till the day pigs could fly. When Obama became the president, the only other significant news on TV was 'Swine Flu'!

Viewer Comments: Subungual Hematoma (Bleeding Under Nail) - Causes
Patient Comments & Reviews
The eMedicineHealth doctors ask about Subungual Hematoma (Bleeding Under Nail):
Subungual Hematoma (Bleeding Under Nail) - Causes
What caused your bleeding under the nail (subungual hematoma)?
Comment from: kung fu man, 45-54 Male (Patient) Published: April 21
I was practicing some kicking techniques on a hanging heavy bag. The bag was especially dense on the bottom. I was hitting it with my instep but my big right toe caught some of the brunt force contact. I immediately felt the pain but continued on. When I arrived home I removed my shoe and sock and noticed the black nail. Two days later I went to a local clinic and the doctor there performed the cautery (burning a hole through the nail) procedure typical for a subungual hematoma. Fortunately the blood underneath was not hardened and it drained out nicely.
Comment from: msenny, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: November 13
I was diagnosed with subungual hematoma 2 days ago on my right big toe, even though I know I did not slam, hit, or pinch it in any way. Everyone says I must have and that I must not remember. It's been on my foot for 5 months and I was told that this could take up to a year to disappear.
Comment from: InspireWear, 25-34 Female (Caregiver) Published: June 06
I dropped a heavy duty iron baking tip on my toe.
Comment from: 25-34 Female (Patient) Published: January 26
A large can rolled out of the pantry and feel onto my big toe. At the time, it hurt a lot, but didn't feel *that* bad. By later in the day, the pain was excruciating. I saw my GP the next morning and she attempted to drain the nail but did not make a large enough hole and not much drained. The pain is just as bad now as it was the first night (today is only day 2). The throbbing is excruciating. I wish I had just gone to the ER yesterday. I'm awaiting the results of the X-ray and will hear from my doctor tomorrow. Ice helps but only temporarily.
Published: November 29
Cat bite, punctured nail.
Comment from: AngryAtMyself, 55-64 Male (Patient) Published: October 31
I carelessly closed the bathroom door at home behind me on my finger on my way out. I was in huge pain after an hour that faded after 24 hours. Should have iced it instantly instead of waiting a couple of hours but didn't realize how severe it could be. My ego still needs icing.
Comment from: Flipsmagee, 13-18 Male (Patient) Published: September 21
Attempting a standing layout backflip and landing on my finger because I didn't flip at my peak.
Comment from: Jeff, 25-34 Male (Patient) Published: June 13
A sliding glass door dropped on my large toe. It is still swollen after 9 days, the nail and nail bed are a purplish color.
Published: May 31
My finger was struck very hard with a rubber mallet. To make things worse, my finger was sitting on a stone surface.
Comment from: dobermom, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: March 15
I slammed my finger in a door. It hurts SO bad!
Comment from: Jean, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: March 10
I caught my finger in my car door as it was being shut. I noticed the hematoma forming under the nail immediately. I used ice on the nail on and off for the first 24 hours. The night of the injury my finger swelled and throbbed and I could not sleep due to the terrific pain. (I did not think a trip to the ER was necessary as I have known family members to have this injury and after the first night the pain was less.) I should have sought medical help I just thought that there was nothing that could be done for my finger. I should have looked this up on the internet that night! Now I am still walking around with a black nail that is obviously bulging and going to eventually fall off. And, it will take ages to grow a new one. I am disappointed with myself that I feared that my doctor would think I was a "big baby" calling to see him for this nail injury. Well, I was wrong and I would recommend anyone who has this injury to seek medical help as it is very painful the first couple days after the injury and it will ease your mind to get medical guidance.
Comment from: Dawn, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: March 07
A block of ice accumulates in the winter outside the entrance to the garage of the condo because water drips from the eaves. My garage door opener wouldn't work, so I had to turn off the key and open the garage door from the inside. I was hurrying back to my car, and fell on the ice. My thumb took the brunt of the fall as I tried to stop myself. After a week, my bruise is healing.
Comment from: Quinn, 45-54 Female (Patient) Published: March 07
Two of my fingertips got caught in-between two panels of my garage door as it was coming down. The bulk of the weight of the door was on the finger tips now the nails are purplish and the fingertips are nearly black and the skin is tight and swollen.

CARLINVILLE, Ill. (KSDK) - A student at Blackburn College in Macoupin County found dead in his dorm room last month was determined to have overdosed on opium, the Carlinville Police Department said Monday.
According to Carlinville Police Chief David Haley, officers and EMS personnel were called to Blackburn College on January 19 shortly after 2:45 p.m. and discovered the body of Joshua Ramza on his dorm bed.
Macoupin County Coroner Brad Targhetta determined Ramza died of opium intoxication and ruled his death a homicide. Chief Haley said it cannot be assumed that another person was responsible for Ramza's death, despite the coroner's ruling.
Targhetta told NewsChannel 5 that Ramza appeared to have been supplied with heroin, which he took willingly, hence the homicide ruling.
The investigation remains ongoing.
Anyone with information on the case is asked to contact the Carlinville Police Department at 217-854-3221 or online at www.CarlinvillePolice.com.
Carlinville is located about 55 miles northeast of St. Louis.

The hike to The Twins is scenic and in a beautiful area. I followed Brian's directions to find the trailhead and parked off the highway. There is parking here for at least 5 cars. The TH is easy to find and I shouldered my pack quickly headed down the trail. It was kind of cold, so I wanted to build up some body heat quickly. The trail doesn't gain elevation quickly and by the time it crossed the PCT I had only gained about 500 ft. The trail is great as it wanders through the forest. It was cold enough that there was ice on trail puddles and the little ponds were about half covered with a thin layer of ice.
As I approached The Twins (I never could really see the summit because of the forest) the trail forked. I took the left fork and it started climbing steeply towards the north summit. I stayed on the trail until I came to a little saddle on the west side of The Twins. I left the trail and walked west into the crater of The Twins. It is all grass covered and is kind of neat with the walls all around except for the passage that I used to enter into the bottom of the crater.
There was no trail here, so I just hiked up the west ridge of the south Twin. It is a little steep, but leads straight to the highpoint. The views from the highpoint were fantastic on a beautiful clear day. Diamond Peak to the south and the Sisters to the north were beautiful.
Instead of going down the way I came up, I descended the clear slope to the south down to the trail that goes to on to Crane Prairie Reservoir. I went west on this trail and it soon came back to the fork where I went left up towards the north twin. The hike back to the TH was uneventful. Total time was 2.75 hours, 6.5 miles, and about 1700 ft of EG.

Troubled ministry
Religion | Lawsuit claims leaders at Sovereign Grace Ministries covered up sexual abuse
Troubles continue to mount for Sovereign Grace Ministries (SGM), an evangelical association with about 90 churches and 28,000 members worldwide. The SGM board of directors reinstated the ministry's founder, C.J. Mahaney, as president of SGM in early 2012 after he took a leave of absence for several months.
Accusations of spiritual pride and hypocrisy precipitated Mahaney's leave. Now SGM is facing a lawsuit by three female plaintiffs, alleging that SGM leaders covered up sexual abuse that occurred in the 1980s and 1990s, and that they discouraged church members from cooperating with law enforcement officials.
Even before the lawsuit, several SGM churches, including ones in Charlottesville, Va., Sarasota, Fla., and Daytona Beach, Fla., had left the association. Jesse Jarvis, pastor of the Daytona Beach congregation, cited a "leadership culture characterized by excessive authority and insufficient accountability" as a reason for leaving SGM.
Mahaney founded SGM in 1982 out of Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg, Md. In 2004, Mahaney stepped down as Covenant Life pastor. Following his reappointment as the president of SGM, Mahaney relocated the ministry's headquarters to Louisville, Ky., and planted a church there. The new church held its opening service on Sept. 30.
The lawsuit charges SGM leaders with allowing suspected child abusers to continue interacting with children, sheltering the accused perpetrators from prosecution, and forcing alleged victims as young as 3 to forgive their molesters. The complaint accuses several SGM elders and officials of actively covering up the crimes, while it names Mahaney because the offenses allegedly occurred under his leadership.
SGM released a statement saying that "child abuse in any context is reprehensible and criminal. Sovereign Grace Ministries takes seriously the biblical commands to pursue the protection and well being of all people, especially the most vulnerable in its midst, little children."
UPDATE (Nov. 8, 2012): In a statement, Sovereign Grace Ministries noted that the lawsuit "does not allege any act of child abuse by a pastor or staff member of SGM or of an associated church."
Mixing it up
The American Family Association (AFA) in October urged parents to keep their kids home from school on "Mix It Up at Lunch Day," a program sponsored by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). The SPLC says that the school cafeteria is often the most socially segregated space in public schools, and the most obvious location to encourage new friendships.
The AFA argues that Mix It Up is a thinly veiled effort to "establish the acceptance of homosexuality into public schools." For its part, the SPLC has recently added the AFA to its growing list of American "hate groups."
Civil rights organizers founded the SPLC in 1971 in Montgomery, Ala. Now the group targets not just racial discrimination, but what it sees as many varieties of prejudice, including that against gays and lesbians. Its top priorities, the SPLC website says, include "children at risk, [combating] hate and extremism, … and LGBT [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender] rights." It particularly focuses on protecting LGBT students from bullying in schools.
Bryan Fischer, director of issues analysis for the AFA, says that "no one is in favor of anyone getting bullied for any reason, but these anti-bullying policies become a mechanism for punishing Christian students who believe that homosexual behavior is not something that should be normalized." The SPLC contends that breaking down barriers of sexual orientation is not the primary purpose of Mix It Up, but that those barriers are among the most entrenched in schools.
The AFA has launched an email campaign against Mix It Up day (which fell on Oct. 30 this year), encouraging concerned parents to contact administrators of participating schools. Since the beginning of the AFA campaign, more than 200 schools have withdrawn from the program. —T.S.K.

I think whoever discovered pancakes was a dessert fanatic like me and decided to have some indulgence with something sweet first thing in the morning. Seriously that is what my take on cakes on a pan, well pancakes are. I actually like to think that it might have been me in my previous birth, if there existed one.
For this recipe, use fresh blueberries if possible, I got mine specifically for this. The reason for using fresh berries is this… when the heat hits the berries on the pan, those little rounds burst open oozing out a beautiful purple juice on the pancake. And my, oh my, seeing that first thing in the morning is a sight to behold.
So, I got a "huge" box from Costco, I used like a cup of berries for this recipe, and the rest is happily stored away. If you are aware of any healthy and easy recipes for blueberries, I would love to know. I need some help using the rest of the box…
I will have to come up with some new wacky recipe that will for sure look good on my picture, which might trick you readers into commenting the ever so famous "Lovely picture, Nice recipe" comment. *wink*
Each and every stuff that went into making my pancakes are exactly what you want to kick off a day, protein from the eggs, whole grains from the whole wheat flour and oats, dairy from the milk, nutritious blueberries, a tad bit of sugar and butter for that feel good factor, and some grease to get you going through the day. All in one long sentence and pancake.
Fresh Blueberry Oat Cakes on a Pan
Fresh blueberries – 1 cup
Whole wheat pastry flour – 1 cup
Old fashioned Oats – 1/3 cup
Milk – 1-2 cups
Eggs – 2 large
Baking powder – 1/2 tsp
Vanilla – 1 tsp
Butter – 1 tbsp
Sugar – 3 tbsp (or more depending on your sweetness level)
Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and using a hand blender whip the mixture till light and creamy.
Add 1 cup milk, vanilla, baking powder and whisk again.
Add flour and oats and whisk well to combine. Do not over mix. The batter should not be runny or too thick. Add more milk at this point if need be. It should be thick, yet in pouring consistency.
Mix the blueberries.
On a hot griddle smeared with some oil, pour the batter in small circles. Do not spread. The batter should flow by itself.
When bubbles start to form on the top surface, flip the pancake over and cook on the other side.
Some berries will break open and give a beautiful purple juice onto the pancake itself. Enjoy it hot from the griddle with some agave, fruit preserves or syrup.
These pancakes are off to Jugalbandi's Click June 2009 – Stacks and Jeanne's WTSIM Berried Treasure

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that. ~ George Carlin
There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year olds life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves Orcs. ~ John Rogers
Very annoying.

The four-story facility -- which will house the coaches' offices, locker rooms, a cafeteria, a weight room and meeting rooms -- will be a substantial upgrade over the Wildcats' current substandard facilities.
What the building represents, however, is just as important as what it holds. Arizona, a basketball school for decades, finally is taking football seriously.
"You proclaim you're going to be a big-time program in a big-time league and play big-time games, well, you need to have a big-time facility to match that," Rodriguez said. "It doesn't have to be the best, but it can't be the worst, either."
If the football plant is the brick-and-mortar manifestation of Arizona's hopeful ascension in the Pac-12, Rodriguez is the living and breathing expression. He has yet to win a game, but much like Arizona State's Todd Graham, Rodriguez has reinvigorated the students, fans, boosters and alumni. Approximately 2,600 new season-ticket accounts have been sold since last year, when UA's average attendance of 48,953 was its lowest since 2003.
The Rose Bowl still is a distant dream, but for the first time in years not everyone in Tucson is counting down the days until basketball practice begins.
"There's such a buzz going on around town," said redshirt junior linebacker Jake Fischer, who missed the 2011 season because of a knee injury. "It doesn't matter if you're a freshman or a senior; people on the street know who you are. It's really cool seeing how excited people are about this team."
The marketing slogan for the 2012 season is, "Think Arizona." On the posters that are displayed around town is a picture of Rodriguez, dressed in a blue Arizona shirt and hat, with his arms crossed and a smile on his face.
Think football? Many UA fans would prefer not to. Arizona hasn't had more than eight wins in a season since 1998. The Wildcats have three winning seasons since that Desert Swarm team, and the program's overall record in those 13 years is 66-89.
The Wildcats probably won't do much better this season. Rodriguez, who was hired in November to replace the fired Mike Stoops, hasn't had enough time to recruit the kind of players he needs to compete for a conference title.
"Everybody wants to know how many games we're going to win. My honest answer is I probably don't know," Rodriguez said. "I think most people realize where we are as a program. We're not the most talented team right now. But everyone wants to see hope."
Rodriguez, 49, is the beacon. He was 60-26 at West Virginia and led the Mountaineers to Big East championships in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2007. His three-year stint at Michigan didn't go nearly as well -- he was fired in January 2011 after going 15-22 and having the program placed on NCAA probation for violating weekly practice-limit rules -- but in Tucson he won't have to worry about being an "Arizona man."
There's no such animal.
In fact, Rodriguez's experience in Morgantown, W.V., in some ways parallels the Wildcats' situation.
"West Virginia is not an easy place to get recruits to," Athletic Director Greg Byrne said. "Tucson has some similarities to that, although it's easier to get to than Morgantown. Even before he got here he understood that and had a strategy of how to handle recruiting and being in a place like Tucson."
Rodriguez, who was an analyst for the CBS Sports Network his year away from coaching, doesn't talk much about his time at Michigan, other than to say he would have liked to have been given a chance to "finish the job there." (The Wolverines were 11-2 last season under first-year coach Brady Hoke.)
But he will admit to feeling he has "a little bit more now" to prove.
"I think we'll have time to finish the job here," he said with a smile.
Rodriguez, who is installing the spread offense he invented in 1991 at Glenville (W.Va.) State, will need all the time he can get. Arizona's talent not only needs to be upgraded, its attitude and approach to the game has to change.
Three returning players -- Fischer, quarterback Matt Scott and offensive lineman Kyle Quinn -- said there was a lack of discipline on the 2011 team. Rodriguez said players might have been in the weight room the last two months of the season, but they weren't lifting weights.
"I think we've got a lot of guys that like football," Rodriguez said. "I don't know how many we've got that love it.
"We're trying to create that. That doesn't mean you have to sacrifice academics and you don't have to sacrifice your social life, but football has to be really important to you."
Rodriguez didn't mince words in his first meeting with the team. According to Scott, "He put us in our place. He really humbled us. Obviously, he knows a lot more than we do. We went 4-8 last year."
The aftershocks have continued. Spring drills were run at such a fast pace players were vomiting after a few minutes and so exhausted just an hour into one workout that they couldn't even make it off the field to get popsicles from a nearby cooler.
Rodriguez has banned cellphones in the locker room and at the training table. He's gotten on players for leaving trash around the locker room. During practice, players cross a spray-painted blue line with the words "hard edge" written on it.
"It means we're going to have to play with that edge and intensity," Quinn said. "The ship has definitely tightened up. There's accountability now. Coaches are making sure guys are buying into the system and doing everything they can."
The exhilaration over Rodriguez's hire has its limits, if for no other reason than the Wildcats have been here before.
Arizona hired John Mackovic in 2001, and his resume was so impressive -- he led Illinois and Texas to conference titles -- that one Tucson writer said he would do for football what Lute Olson did for the basketball program.
Mackovic was fired midway through the 2003 season.
"People aren't going to get carried away because they've been beaten down so much from other failed turnaround projects," Arizona Daily Star columnist Greg Hansen said. "I think there's a big divide. The eternal optimists think this is the guy who will finally get it done. Others think, 'Let's have a good basketball season and hope football will do better than it's been doing.' "
Rodriguez understands his place in the pecking order. He's the football coach at a basketball school. But that doesn't mean he can't dream big. By this time next year, he'll have a first-class football plant to sell to recruits and their families.
With the foundation in place, the building can begin.
"We get this cranked up and going, you can see this thing snowballing," Rodriguez said. "I think we'll have the best atmosphere in the Pac-12. ... The timing is good, if we do our part, to take this where it's never been before."

Wacky German builders create a big-bore brother to the Daytona 675
TAKE A Triumph Daytona 675 as a concept and with the help of Six Monkeys add a 139bhp 1050cc engine.Sounds bizarre, we know, but German company Six Monkeys have done just that by turning a Speed Triple 1050 into a big brother to the Daytona 675.Six Monkey's have modified the bike's fuel-injection software and the airbox, to give a power output of 139bhp at 9,100rpm and 116Nm of torque at 7,600 revs, so it's not just a Speed Triple with clip-ons, there's added power there too.
Carbonfibre bodywork, suspension components and steering damper from Wilbers, Dunlop Qualifier RR tyres and BOS exhaust system, all give the bike a pretty sweet look, we love it!What do you think, should Triumph build this bike?
Posted: 06/10/2009 at 12:16
Look at the frame, it's from a Speed Triple, not the most accurate stoprey this one……..Careful there fella's, you're slipping into MCN-Make-Believe-Story territory. I visit this site because it usually right, it's slippery slope..........
Posted: 06/10/2009 at 12:56
Its an accurate story if your just a little bit literate, otherwise its probably non-sense.
" ... done just that by turning a Speed Triple 1050 into a big brother to the Daytona 675."
It is a speed triple with fairings, and thats what the story reports it as. When Triumph get round to building it (which I think they will and they definitely should) i'm sure it'll look more like a 675.
The 675 has had success in supersport racing, how about the 1050 in BSB or even WSB?

Skip to comments.Don't come looking at Gramama Obama's Bank
Posted on 04/26/2010 7:19:26 PM PDT by tutstar
Tucked away on the 10th floor of South Beretania apartments in Honolulu, Hawaii is quite a woman, the one engineered profile online suggests for Madelyn Lee Payne Dunham, the grandmother who raised Barack Hussein Obama when he was abandoned by his mother, but for the wonder woman profile which was created online, the one question jumps out that no one has noticed:
If Madelyn Dunham was thee woman as her profile states who paved the way for all women in banking, thee woman who raised Barack Obama, then why is Barack Obama running away from this woman, why is she hiding in an apartment in Hawaii, when her presence would have gotten her the entire Hillary Clinton feminist vote as we are told in her profile that Grandma Dunham was better than the invention of the wheel for women?
I have stumbled across the answer in this as it is so old that even the internet servers are being scrubbed of the stories which lead to Madelyn Dunham.
The first red light which went off for Grandma Dunham was when I was attempting a profile search which all living people have. "Someone" has scrubbed Madelyn Dunham's profile in spots and is listing her as 40 years younger. Mr. Obama's sister, Mya, is listed as a relative, but not one Barack Obama is listed.
As an example if one uses as a control, Henry Kissinger, who is oft times blamed for all things globalist and who should be one person who could have his profile information scrubbed, one can find Dr. Kissinger listed with family and associates.
So if Doc Kissinger is in the system, why is Madelyn Dunham, the paver of banking ways for women and raiser of messiah not listed?
I believe the key starts out with Mrs. Dunham's choice of employment at Bankho, or the Bank of Hawaii starting in 1960 where she was elevated after 10 years in 1970 as Vice President. That is quite a meteoric rise from bank teller to executive in that short of period of time. Mrs. Dunham's expertise was in Escrow Accounts which are used as 3rd party money transfer accounts between two people who basically do not trust each other and still need a deal to be done.
It was during this period that the Democratic machine in Hawaii was killing bank examiner bills, because at the same time the two largest banks in Hawaii were making a huge push into the Pacific Rim from 1963 to 1970. You thought opening doors to China began with Kissinger and Nixon? Nope someone was paving that way a decade before and 30 years before Bush 41 set upon what is termed his policy to modernize China.
Bank of Hawaii is listed as the largest bank in Hawaii of that period and expanded into the Pacific Rim buying up assets during the Vietnam War.
It is into this which Madelyn Dunham was being promoted as an expert in money transfers for her entire career and this is why she is being hidden away and planted stories are abounding about old Gram banking leader and Stanley Ann, anthropologist, and no one is mentioning what these two women were setting up in an international Marxist or globalist scheme which has yet to come to fruition, until their Barack hits the stage.
On March 31, 1980, Jimmy Carter enacted the Depository Instituions Deregulation and Monetary Control Act of 1980 which would phase out all savings rate ceilings on consumer accounts and deregulated the banking industry. People have heard nonstop it was Reagan or Bush who started all of this deregulation when the fact is comrade Carter initiated what was to become the biggest economic rape of the world. Rush Limbaugh has invested a great deal of time noting Jimmy Carter and his housing act started this housing mess, but it was the banking rape which Carter set into place which America is being rocked by now.
I ask people to keep with this for the punchline as the situation is laid out, because you will not believe what the Obama women were setting up for the globalists.
Mrs. Dunham would retire in 1986 from the escrow fund of Bankoh. Her daughter who was an anthropoligist would then go into, banking. Huh? You might question. Yes she went into banking in Indonesia setting up microfinance for poor women there.
What on earth is microfinance?
Ever heard of a progressive changing their name to a liberal? That is exactly what microfinance is. Microfinance is in the late 1980's, a savings and loan for destitute 3rd world types. If people remember history in BCCI and other savings and loans raping American small investors in the Bank of Coccaine and Crime International, then you know what Stanley Ann Dunham has now set up as the largest loan system to a billion people in Indonesia. Microfinance is the term no one has yet figured out which is the next derivative as the globalist cartels have set this monster up in every impoverished nation in the world.
Getting ahead of the story, the Rothschilds are currently in India providing microfinance for poor Indian farmers with the money being crop seed which fails and they can not repay. The end result is the Rothschild cartel owning Indian farmland while Indian farmers commit suicide. The cartel though is enjoying record exports of tainted grain grown on poisonous ground being sold around the world, including to Americans.
So Gram Dunham leaves the bank running the new world escrow service forming and Stanley Ann is setting up savings and loans in the 3rd world as she happens to find her way to New York too running the World Women's Banking created the United Nations in 29 poverty nations around the world.
Follow this now please, World Women's Banking was brainchild of Stichting INGKA Foundation of the Netherlands. INGKA owns an international furniture outlet chain, but holds it's assets in a $36 billion dollar account making it the richest on earth. For a modern tax rape in the United States, this is exactly what Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are doing as they keep their assests out of tax coffers while preying on consumers. I ask you to remember that Buffet has billion dollar foundations for each child and raped over 31 billion dollars out of the markets which people lost in the last months.
This is what the Dunham women were setting up for the 3rd world and is about to be sprung.
Now we come to Bank of Hawaii dumping huge amounts of money into Asian markets in a money transfer in the 1990's. Of course that money loaned did not stay in Asia in the least, it instead was part of the Bill Clinton Indonesian, yes Indonesia again, Riaydi and Lippo Group money funneling campaign funds into the Clinton reelection bid with Al Gore. What people missed in this was the money from the Chinese was not just about bribes to the Clintons. The Indonesians, Chinese and Clinton globalists were after the real prize of the New York Stock Exchange offering up the communist Chinese Xiamen International Bank to both the Hang Seng and New York.
It would be Hawaii's Democratic machine which would use billions of dollars in Kamaehameha School funds with Bishop Estate to underwrite the public offering of Xiamen.
This should be sounding familiar in the same corruption engulfing Illinois in funds being embezzled there and Barack Obama and Joe Biden's names popping up in funds allotted to them. Do you remember what William Ayers was after in his Chicago school initiatives was federal funds and Tony Rezko was playing with Chicago real estate making slums for blacks.
Are you seeing a Marxist pattern here in moving money around in public funds, real estate, poor people in housing and massive market collapse?
So the money went out of Hawaii while the Chinagate money came into the mainland. Soon enough the Asians who dumped their excess in the American markets had their economies tanked. Hawaiian investors lost record sums, but that means the cartels gained billions.
Bush 41 would send in the FBI to Hawaii for all this Democratic coruption, but being replaced by Bill Clinton, it would be Webster Hubbell number 3 at Justice under Janet Reno would shut down the investigation. In order to cover up the failure of half of Hawaii's industrial banks in this nation rape, Bill Clinton appointed Donna Tanuoe who had absolutely no banking experience as head of the FDIC. She would hold that position until 2001 and is currently now part of the executive committee of, the Bank of Hawaii, our old escrow account operative Madelyn Dunham's place of vocation.
This massive money laundering scheme was set up off the mainland and collapsed ruining Hawaiians was not even covered by the press no more than if it was in another nation. Some in the press probably think Hawaii is another nation. Donna Tanuoe emerged in covering up the massive collapse of Hawaiian banking in the 1983 to 1985 period of the last years of Madelyn Dunham employment. She set the stage in the FDIC for what America is currently imploding in now.
John McCain and Republican banking committee members tried in Senate Bill 190 to reign this in in 2005, but were stopped by Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
If people want to know a really small world, behold Bank of Hawaii is now run by a flunky who covered up the original nation rape where Mrs. Dunham worked and the other bank in Hawaii just happened to be purchased by BNP Paribas SA, currently owned by Nadhmi Auchi of Saddam Hussein oil for food bribery to the Clintons and the world socialists, with money laundering, who just happened to be in Chicago buying up Tony Rezko's real estate and shaking hands with Barack Hussein Obama. Toss in Marc Rich who was the genius behind BCCI funding and Bill Clinton's pardon, and one has the entire banking fraud scheme of the past 30 years now engulfing the world.
Now do you perhaps understand why one planted story on Madelyn Dunham as wonder woman is being circulated and why Barack Obama is running from this woman and not featuring her as she should be a campaign asset for the female vote in America?
If not let us enter the future of an Obama age, when the term "risky microfinance" starts cropping up. I ask you to think about 1 billion Indonesian, Indian, Bangladeshi, African, ok if we go the full route, number it 2 billion women all in microfinance. Suppose they have on average 1000 dollar loans which would talley 2 trillion dollars, plus the sewing machines, materials, grains etc... all these poor people were sold like the Indian farmers. That would make a 4 trillion dollar profit already from Stanley Ann Dunham's microfinance "helping the poor". Now crash that debt system just like the Obama backers crashed the United States derivative markets to assist him. Imagine forclosing on 2 billion people's 40 acre farms just like the Rothschilds are accomplishing in India.
Does that not sound like a pretty good scheme where you sold poor people goods you made, put them into debt, crash the system and then take their collateral which you as a cartel can now exploit in farming making the slaves buy food from their own land.
Now do you understand why Barack Obama and his syndicate have targetted specific stories leading everyone away from Grandmama Obama and Mama Obama? In these women's actions was the genisis of financial diaster which is the ghost of Christmas past, Christmas present and Christmas future. The last things Barack Obama wants is anyone sniffing around his family's Hawaiian banking past or his family's Indonesian banking past as it leads right into Chicago banking and New York finance collapse that Barack Obama has a part in.
Nobody has put this scheme together and is this blog's exclusive again. The Congress isn't going to mention this. The pundits will not touch this, so maybe the remainder 299 million Americans and those speaking Spanish had better start chatting about this so the Congress and pundits will have to.
Make my Nobel and Pulitzer checks out to Sturm Ruger as I like their firearms for a shopping spree.
Maybe because she has been dead for a year and a half....if she is still locked in that apartment, the sight wouldn't be pretty...
I didn't write it but it may fit. 8^)
If you note the date on the article that would explain the stench. This wasn't posted surprisingly enough.
The tin foil hatters are the ones who will get Pulitzers after all this stuff!
The article is from Sept. 2008.
lamecherry should have taken some lessons from Webster Griffin Tarpley
call me blonde, i don't get it
I know the date of this is 2008 but I have wondered what his mother was doing all those years. This article explains a lot. And his grandparents were socialists which explains bammy's socialistic attitude and his friendship with Bill Ayers.
This guy is from one bad bunch of slimeballs and I'm starting to believe he really is the Manchurian President.
> if she is still locked in that apartment, the sight wouldn't be pretty...
Rest assured, she's quite dead and her ashes (DNA) were scattered in the Pacific Ocean in December 2008, along with anything else Obama found when visiting her immediately before the 2008 Election Day.
bumping big time...
Well it is a damning sequence on coincidences!
goodnight ping. :-)
Just saying that those who have been accused of being "Tin foil hatter" conspiracy kooks are likely on to something.
The whole situation stinks, who hides everything about themself? even the baby pics? Something rotten in Denmark.
ok got it now 8^)
and they went to great lengths to hid wha the really is from the voting public..
$2 million or so can hide a lot of his history. I guess to him it's worth it. So what the hell is he hiding?
Hey Barry, whatcha hidin? Ya punk. We cannot hide a dime of income or our medical records (coming soon) but you are allowed to hide ALL your life history and still play president on tv.
what this realys says is that the entire democrat leadership is in on giant fraud imbezzlement scam...they are a money laundering mafia..with world wide connections. It started with carter...clintonistas continued it and bamer is following suit...the power is in the wealth and this is a giant world wide rape. is that right?
two million of money that he ripped off and never worked for should be easy to spend
"Now crash that debt system just like the Obama backers crashed the United States derivative markets to assist him. Imagine foreclosing on 2 billion people's 40 acre farms just like the Rothschilds are accomplishing in India.
Does that not sound like a pretty good scheme where you sold poor people goods you made, put them into debt, crash the system and then take their collateral which you as a cartel can now exploit in farming making the slaves buy food from their own land. "
This is all you need to know. Maybe his backers WERE responsible for the massive run on money market accounts before the election.
Then imagine putting millions of Americans into debt on their over priced houses, and then steal that collateral back from them, after you have made them slaves.
Coming to North America soon!!!
♫All she is, is dust in the wind...♫
Who would have thought the Hawaiian banking system was a hotbed of communism? :)
I remember an article about this stuff a year or so ago.
IIRC Mabelle and two daughters never visit M-i-L and great grandmother, very strange???
NO, NO, NO, I was born there!!!
Big ole' Bump
During the early 1980s, Peter Geithner oversaw the Ford Foundation's microfinance programs in Indonesia being developed by Ann Dunham Soetoro, President Barack Obama's mother, and they met in person at least once.
Peter Geithner is the father of Tim Geithner, Secretary of the Treasury
thanks for the ping, I'll read tomorrow.
This makes the circumstances surrounding her soi-dissant demise quite suspicious -—
bookmark for later read
Ping to Toots Dunham/Obama interesting bank associations.
Yes! Thanks for posting this. I happened upon it last night when I was looking for that Chicago bank Davis used back when and it's still being being used by the same thugs now. Can't think of the name but Hussein gave it a big chunk of stimulus dollars. They're all in this together. Always have been and nothing is being done to stop them because they've got half of Congress in on the scam as well. Disgusting.
See the date - Sept. '08. That's two months before she died in Nov. '08
The A.C. doesn't have baby pics. Or maybe all of the baby pics are of him in a tent in Kenya.
If a devious person desired the means to create new Aliases for a variety of shady business dealings (and even covert govt operations), I couldn't think of a better way than to have a family contact, on the inside of the (International) Banking Industry, to establish Lines of Credit and Bank Accounts under different names. Thus if you are wondering how/why Ann Dunham and Barack Obama likely have SO MANY reported Aliases and SSNs ... well, there you are.
I knew a woman when I was much younger (deceased now and NOT related to the Dunhams) who for DECADES maintained three different SSNs (and I saw all 3 SSN cards) under her maiden name and from both her first & second husbands married names, bilking the State and Federal government for various Welfare, Food Stamps and Assistance programs. As such, she was also able to maintain Checking Accounts in different names as well, as checks were issued by MAIL (sent to various friends & relatives) instead of by Electronic Funds transfer as they are often done today.
It wasn't until 1972 that Social Security Cards and numbers were issued Centrally; Ann Dunham dumped Obama Jr onto her parents in Hawaii in December 1971. However, even after 1972, there were a multitude of ways to create fake Aliases and get "on the grid" if you wanted to. Just ask an Illegal Alien or Mobster laundering money, even in 2010, and find out how relatively easy it is to obtain a fake ID and establish further credentials from that one fake photo ID. In fact, ALL but ONE of the 9/11 hijackers (Mohamed Atta) used FAKE IDs to gain further credentials with state and local agencies.
Granted, it is slightly more difficult nowadays with computerized and centralized tracking, but back in the 60s through mid-90s, it was about as simple as applying for a Library card today. As the Andy Dufresne character describes (art imitating life) in Shawshank Redemption when describing how he hid the Warden's money, a paper trail can be designed to lead to nowhere ... and no one:
RED: I'm sure you're good, but all that paper leaves a trail. Anybody gets too curious -- FBI, IRS, whatever -- that trail's gonna lead to somebody.
ANDY: Sure it will. But not to me, and certainly not to the warden.
RED: Who then?
ANDY: Peter Stevens.
RED: Who?
ANDY: The silent, silent partner. He's the guilty one, your Honor. The man with the bank accounts. That's where the filtering process starts. They trace it back, all they're gonna find is him.
RED: Yeah, okay, but who the hell is he?
ANDY: A phantom. An apparition. Second cousin to Harvey the Rabbit. I conjured him out of thin air. He doesn't exist... except on paper.
RED: You can't just make a person up.
ANDY: Sure you can, if you know how the system works, and where the cracks are. It's amazing what you can accomplish by mail. Mr. Stevens has a birth certificate, social security card, driver's license. They ever track those accounts, they'll wind up chasing a figment of my imagination.
Thanks..I read this last night and was a little confused by it all. I don't question that something nefarious was likely going on, but when I saw an attempt at a 'Rothschild connection', I was a little skeptical...mainly because the Rothschild conspiracies are so rampant. Thanks for the ping. If someone could put this in layman's terms, it would be appreciated.
I read lamecherry all the time. The blog is the one who outted Biden and his son taking care of Obama's problem with Larry Sinclair. A couple of things that stick out for me when I originally read this.
The Indonesian microfinance land theft was happening but you never heard a word of it in the media. I even searched for anything about it online when the Obama multiple social security numbers came out. The only thing I heard was on talk radio. I believe it was Jim Franklin.
Remember that Geithner's father was head of Ford foundation when Stanley Ann worked in Indonesia. Where is Geithner now? Raping American and looking ignorant when questioned. Bernanke is Bilderberg's and he has trillions he does not have to account for. New world order. Another ignoramus looking idiot when questioned. Duh? The two people in charge of the hen house are the biggest criminals this side of Obama.
On Henry Kissinger,I have a speech I found online in 2008 by good ol' Henry to a foreign summit. In that speech he says (paraphrasing) he see's no reason for the United states in the future to be the leader in economy. I believe he is a part of this.
"Mrs. Dunham's choice of employment at Bankho." Going back to articles you keep in mind just in case they fit in the future and make sense."The 3 stooges go to Washington." In that article it suggests Madelyn's father, Rollo C Payne, knew he was raising a daughter for the cause. His job was to make sure she got the training. Bookkeeping. In the article he leased his land to Rockefeller of Standard oil and worked for Rockefeller. Rockefeller has said he does not care who rules as long as he has all the money. In one book Rockefeller said he would not apologize for wanting a one world governing body.
"INGKA owns an international furniture outlet chain" Remember Mr Stanley Ann Dunham worked for a furniture company? I don't know if there is a connection but start twilight zone music.
The Dunhams knew how to scam the system and taught little Barry. Gramps didn't have to pay for little Barry's elite private school because he got a scholarship (I suspect that's why papa had to come back to Hawaii). Barry grew up knowing he would never have to lift a finger if he could get others to pay his way.
Atta & Co. knew the system didn't work and counted on the system not bothering to check their paperwork or care when they overstayed their visas. And we still haven't woken up. There are untold numbers with expired visas still here after all these years since 9/11. Ask any illegal alien and he's sure to have three or four different IDs on him.

DALLAS, Texas – March 3, 2014 – In anticipation of extreme cold weather over the next 24 hours, Atmos Energy is asking its North and Central Texas customers to voluntarily turn down their thermostats and lower the setting on their water heaters if they can do so safely. Atmos Energy also urges businesses to reduce the use of natural gas for manufacturing or processing if practicable. Such conservation efforts throughout the next 24 hours will help keep down bills and keep natural gas supplies flowing to all Atmos Energy customers.
"Atmos Energy has been able to serve its customers safely and reliably during the last few cold-weather events in North and Central Texas, in part, because many customers took steps to conserve their natural gas use," said John Paris, Atmos Energy president of the Mid-Tex Division. "We anticipate being able to provide reliable service again, but we also ask customers to conserve where they can do so safely."
Energy Saving Tips:
- Set thermostats as low as appropriate to maintain health and comfort.
- Dress in layers appropriate for the temperature setting.
- Limit use of natural gas appliances, especially during the early morning hours.
- Set water heater temperature to 120 degrees.
- Keep doors and windows closed as much as possible, including overhead garage doors.
- Make sure doors have weather stripping and door sweeps.
- Install indoor window insulation kits on leaky windows.
- Seal off unheated, unused rooms.
Safety/Emergency Service : Atmos Energy provides 24-hour emergency service every day. If customers smell a natural gas odor inside a house or building, they should leave the premises immediately and call Atmos Energy's 24-hour emergency service from a neighbor's house, toll-free, at 1-866-322-8667. Customers should also call Atmos Energy if they experience any service interruptions; however, in the event of an electric power outage, natural gas appliances may not work.
Energy Assistance: Colder weather can lead to higher natural gas bills. Atmos Energy strongly urges customers who believe they will not be able to maintain regular payments or service to contact the company immediately, at 1-888-286-6700 between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. weekdays, to inquire about energy assistance programs and payment options.
Sufficient, Reliable Energy Supplies: Atmos Energy is served by multiple intrastate pipelines and has the diverse sources for natural gas and underground gas storage that will play a key role in maintaining gas deliveries to customers over the upcoming extreme cold weather period.

text: Talk about India's glorious long-term future is, these days, as commonplace as India's glorious past long ago. And as trite. That is one reason why the ET Awards jury's discussion of India's future prospects last week struck a refreshing note. Jury members saw not just the glass spilling over in the future but also filling up fast in the current year. Tafe chairman and CEO Mallika Srinivasan is very clued into agriculture, as you would expect a manufacturer of heavy-duty tractors to be, and points out that the extra-bountiful south-western monsoon would drive up economic growth this fiscal, both by pushing up farm output and by generating rural demand for a variety of industrial produce.

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Welcome! Thank you for your question.
Your instincts are right that there could be some very big issues with these transactions. If your mother-in-law is qualified for Medicaid now then her home is not counted as an asset to determine her eligibility. If she sells her home the cash will be counted against her eligibility. She can only have $2,000 in countable assets to be eligible for Medicaid.
There are also issues with her using her money to build an addition on to your home. Even though this addition will be used for her it is still improving your property. Medicaid will likely look at this as a gift. I am not worried about taxes because Pennsylvania does not have a gift tax and the federal gift tax exemption is 5.125 million dollars. Your mother-in-law would have to give your wife more than 5.125 million dollars before your wife has to pay gift tax.
However, if your mother-in-law writes your wife checks then Medicaid will certainly view those transfers as a gift and every time that she gives her money it will cause your mother-in-law to essentially be ineligible for Medicaid benefits for 5 years. If your mother-in-law pays the contractors directly that may get around the deeming of a gift by Medicaid. The answer to the question of whether it will be okay depends on the Medicaid caseworkers in your area. To completely prevent it from being a gift you could sell a portion of your home to her based on the amount of money that she will be paying for the addition.
I would highly suggest getting full advise from an Elder Law attorney in your area. I am sure that they will be able to clarify these options, plus maybe give you others based on the full facts of your situation. You can find an attorney at http://www.naela.org/.

A Springfield-area state senator is pushing legislation to establish a private-public partnership to raise money for repairs at the state fairgrounds.
Andy Manar says many in the agriculture industry would get involved.
"I think what the bill would provide is a new mechanism for individuals, private entities, corporations and, businesses who are passionate about the State Fair and want to see repairs made to the fairgrounds. It would provide a linkage or ways for those people to help out" says Menard.
The Illinois Department of Agriculture puts the estimate of back-logged maintenance at 30-million dollars. The bill has cleared a committee and now heads to the full Senate for debate.

Microsoft scrambles to quell a Windows Phone user insurrection
It's no secret that Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows Phone has failed to catch on with smartphone buyers. Despite positive media reviews and signature features like Live Tiles, consumers have largely ignored the platform: Windows Phone 8 devices accounted for just 4.6 percent of all smartphones sold in the United States during the three-month period ending in May 2013, miles behind Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android at 52 percent and Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iOS at 41.9 percent, according to a recent report issued by research firm Kantar Worldpanel ComTech. Windows Phone 8 has eclipsed the fading BlackBerry (NASDAQ:BBRY) platform and is "growing faster than anyone else right now," Windows Phone Senior Product Manager Larry Lieberman told The Verge late last month.
"We think we're solidly the third ecosystem right now," Lieberman said during an interview at Microsoft's Build developers conference. "That's a huge announcement in some respects."
Microsoft has made few formal announcements about Windows Phone's future, however. Insiders say the company is working on the so-called Windows Phone Blue update, expected in early 2014--rumors say the major upgrade will bring a notification center, enhanced multitasking and improvements to built-in applications, among other improvements. But that's still months away. In the here and now, Microsoft is rolling out minor upgrades like Windows Phone 8 General Distribution Release 2, issued last week. GDR2 is highlighted by the restoration of FM radio support--a longtime Windows Phone OS feature dropped with the late 2012 launch of WP8--as well as Xbox Music improvements to provide more accurate metadata, a Data Sense app tracking service, and stability improvements to services like Internet Explorer and Skype.
That isn't nearly enough for some Microsoft loyalists, however. This weekend, user Tùng Hà turned to the company's Feature Suggestions for Windows Phone forum to submit a post headlined "We need Microsoft to listen to our ideas and DO something."
"Ok, we're here after a year of WP8. We're about to get the GDR2 update and we're still not getting anything from the TOP ideas of this forum," Hà wrote. "Sometimes I'm wondering Microsoft is listening or not. Or they just simply try to convince us to buy the phone and then leave us here. GDR2 is just a small update, I see no actual features with high demand from customer on this update. Things need to change, OR, we'll leave this OS. Do something, Microsoft, before it's too late." As of Wednesday morning, more than 6,000 users had voted on the thread, many of them harshly critical of Microsoft's Windows Phone efforts.
The user outcry quickly grew too loud for Microsoft too ignore. Joe Belfiore, Microsoft corporate vice president and manager for Windows Phone Program Management, joined the Feature Suggestions thread to plead for patience: "We're definitely here and paying attention to what you folks are asking for... keep in mind the trick for us is balancing things that make EXISTING devices better for you, our enthusiast users, versus things that create new devices to sell to a broader audience," he writes. "A lot of the work in GDR2 was around enabling new devices--like the Lumia 1020, devices on Sprint (NYSE:S), etc., so that we could keep growing the size of the WP ecosystem. We need to grow the number of people using WP so we get ISVs writing the apps, we get better/more accessories built, etc."
Belfiore goes on to promise that enhancements are afoot: "We still do intend to improve the user experience for you via new features. There's some in GDR 2 (eg. DataSense broadly available, FM Radio) there's more coming later this year, and still more after that."
Belfiore's comments did little to stem the tide of Windows Phone user complaints. If anything, posts following his response are even more aggressive than the posts that preceded it. Consumers certainly have a point: Microsoft has done little to evolve the OS, and it seems absurd that a company of its size and scale can't focus on expanding hardware support while simultaneously improving the underlying software. Let's hope that this insurrection is the wake-up call Microsoft needs: Failing to attract new users is a huge problem, but alienating diehard users is another issue altogether. Windows Phone Blue will represent a make-or-break moment for Microsoft's mobile aspirations, and if the company didn't realize that before users threw down the gauntlet, it certainly understands now. --Jason

Millwall midfielder eyes extension of unbeaten run against Ipswich
08:25 07 December 2012
PA Archive/Press Association Images
Millwall midfielder Josh Wright is confident that his side can continue their unbeaten run against Ipswich on Saturday.
The Lions extended their run to 13 on Saturday and have a great chance of making it 14 and return to the play-off places against the struggling Tractor Boys.
"We've got a fantastic opportunity," Wright said.
"It's a great ground to play at. It's one of my favourite grounds to play at.
"It's a great opportunity for us to continue our unbeaten run. We've got to work hard first."
Wright is enjoying his time back in the first-team setup.
The former Charlton trainee had lost his place in recent weeks but returned to the side for the win against Leeds and has not looked back since.
"You want to play as many games as you can," Wright said. "I'm enjoying it.
"At this club, you've got to be on your toes as there is stiff competition.
"You'll have to wait and see."

05 April 2011

Russia has named an ominously strong team to face Italy in the Fed Cup by BNP Paribas World Group semifinals, being played in Moscow on 16-17 April.
World No. 3 Vera Zvonareva heads up the Russian challenge alongside Svetlana Kuznetsova, Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova and Ekaterina Makarova. All four players are currently ranked inside the Top 40.
Zvonareva, twice a Fed Cup winner, is making her first appearance for Russia since playing in the title-winning team of 2008. She finished runner-up at both the US Open and Wimbledon last year.
Kuznetsova, who has lifted the Fed Cup trophy on three occasions, is a former US Open and Roland Garros champion, while Pavlyuchenkova and Makarova add considerable depth to the home side.
The Italian team is yet to be announced, although Francesca Schiavone is expected to miss out to concentrate on her Roland Garros title defence. Italy is chasing a third successive Fed Cup crown.
The other semifinal sees Belgium take on Czech Republic in Charleroi. Kim Clijsters is injured so the Belgians will be relying on Yanina Wickmayer to lead the fight, while the Czechs have already named a full strength line-up of Petra Kvitova, Lucie Safarova, Iveta Benesova and Barbora Zahlavova Strycova.
The deadline for official team nominations is on 6 April.

ATLANTA (AP) _ A woman who escaped from a Georgia prison 33 years ago has been recaptured in east Texas.
Federal marshals arrested 53-year-old Deborah Gavin at her home Wednesday in Frankston, Texas.
Gavin, who was serving time on an armed robbery conviction out of Gwinnett County, escaped from the Georgia Women's Correctional
Institution in Baldwin County in 1974.
In the following years, Gavin moved from state to state, living in Tennessee, Florida and Texas. Authorities say she met and married Richard Murphey, changed her last name and had two children.
Richard Murphey said he visited his wife yesterday in the Anderson County, Texas, jail, and said she refused to sign her extradition papers.
He said today that his wife told him she fled the Georgia women's prison because prisoners there were being subjected to sexual abuse.
The women's prison in Hardwick was the center of a sex scandal which broke in the early 1990s. Investigations prompted by lawsuits turned up cases going back for years of guards having sex with inmates. All the women were moved out of the prison in 1993 and it
became a men's prison.
Records show Gavin had escaped from the prison several times before her final escape, once fleeing as far away as Louisiana.
Each time she was recaptured. At the time, officials say the prison
had no fences and security was lax. But in July 1974, a month after her last recapture, Gavin again broke loose. This time, she disappeared.

text: 30 w oil is fine. Chances are there is too much oil in the hub, good news is that if finds it's way out by itself. IMO I'd ride it for a while, the clicking and smooth shifting will return. My experience has been: If shifting from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd hangs up, it is more likely the cable, or the indicator chain, make sure they move freely. You can watch to see if the chain moves smoothly into the hub. If the hang up is from 3rd to 2nd or 2nd to 1st than it might be something within the hub.

|A three-year, AHRB funded programme of practice-as- research events with a focus on ways in which women practitioners 'write' for contemporary performance
Lenora Champagne
Notes on Autobiography and Performance
Through a consideration of Lenora's own processes and practice as a writer, performer and teacher, this paper will explore how autobiography finds its way into so many performances.
In 1990 when she edited the collection OUT FROM UNDER: TEXTS BY WOMEN PERFORMANCE ARTISTS, Lenora suggested that people responded to autobiographically based stories because of the powerful experience of being a witness. In the intervening years her perspective has changed. With the proliferation of sensational material on television talkshows and the current preference for the trauma-based memoir to the work of fiction, the public's capacity for sensation - and desire to judge, rather than simply witness- seems insatiable. Parallel to this shifting of public attention from larger issues of discourse to the voyeuristic discussion and viewing of celebrity traumas, is the judging of performance by focusing on the depth and authenticity of traumatic experience described in it.
Lenora argues that what is interesting in solo performances, whether autobiographically based or not, is clarity of voice, which often goes alongside an idiosyncratic perspective. Being taken on a journey through someone's peculiar/particular way of seeing everyday life, or of notating consciousness, can be much more momentous than being plied with the commonplaces of trauma.
Lenora Champagne ( www.lenorachampagne.com ) in 2006 received support from the NYSCA Individual Artists Program for TRACES/fades , as well as a residency at Yaddo Artists Colony to work on the project. She received a NYFA fellowship in performance art in 2003 and a NYFA fellowship in playwriting in 1998. She and composer Daniel Levy received the 1999 Richard Rodgers Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters for THE SINGING: A CYBERSPACE OPERA . She was awarded three fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts (in directing, solo performance and an artist's residency in Canada), support from NYSCA, and has been in residence at the MacDowell Colony numerous times. Her work was commissioned by Dance Theatre Workshop, Creative Time, Seven Stages (Atlanta) and In Parenthesis. Her plays and performance works have been produced and presented in New York City, around the U.S., and in Europe and Australia. Her performance writing has been published by Smith and Kraus and in Performing Arts Journal, Women and Performance Journal, Performance Research , Chain, The Iowa Review and in Out From Under: Texts by Women Performance Artists , among other publications. She is an alumna of New Dramatists, a resident HARP artist at HERE Arts Center, a New York Theatre Workshop Usual Suspect, and a former Public Imaginations affiliated artist at Dance Theatre Workshop. Champagne, who has a Ph.D. in Performance Studies from NYU, is Associate Professor of Drama Studies at Purchase College, SUNY.
