In Season 10, Maksim Chmerkovskiy began his Samba with Erin Andrews with a shirt on but it was soon gone. This helped make things quite steamy in the ballroom during Week 6. Again, although the ladies may have been enjoyed the bare-chested Maks, Len did not. Erin said, "Len told Maks he needs to keep his clothes on and that's just not going to happen." Good to know.

Ethical botnets
If ethical botnets could be created, would you participate? If a million people were to give up a 20 gig partition on their windows, apple or linux pc, what could be achieved? Could the botnet be utilized for research, crime fighting, climate reporting, problem solving? (the list goes on). Would internet users let ethical hackers take control of their volunteered hard drive partition during sleeping or down time hours? How could scientists utilize an ethical botnet, consisting of millions of computers? Could vast projects and very complex problems be resolved collectively, utilizing the ethical botnet? Would it require strict safeguards , encryption, guidelines or even governmental legislation and, or, oversight by a governing body? What would, or could be the incentive for participating in the vast project?

Not much to blog the last couple of days, but that doesn't we don't have content for you. A few days Jimbo Fisher ranted about the BCS computer rankings. The ACCDN's Riley Skinner agrees with Fisher and feels that Clemson and Florida State aren't ranked high enough. For me it's really simple… Florida State plays Florida the number 6 team in the BCS in 2 weeks. Clemson plays South Carolina the number 9 team in the BCS. If Florida State wins out, they are going to the Orange Bowl. If Clemson wins out, the consensus is they are going to the Sugar Bowl.
Clemson in will play a highly regarded SEC team in the Sugar Bowl, and Florida State can finish the year 13-1. I don't agree with straight computer rankings either. I do think that they are things you can tell with your own eyes that a computer can't tell you. In 2 weeks Clemson and FSU get their chance to go 3-0 in the regular season against the SEC. Then there's the bowl games. The respect will come with winning…
Comments on Are Clemson and FSU ranked too low in the BCS standings?

Chapter 33 Reviews
Mikey comes to stay.
Me and Bob stayed up late that night discussing his time up north as the most feared and sought after vampire hunter around. We talked about Mikey and how Bob had met him. Turns out that Bob did a bit of undercover work in his time. One time he got a job on a farm owned by a bunch of vampires. The farm was a cover for an underground vampire market selling bottles of human blood, ancient relics and the occasional live human to be kept as a slave or to be drunk later by their new owners.
While he was there he met a farm hand by the name of Peter who had uncovered the vampires long before the news had reached Bob. Bob allowed Peter to be his sidekick. Peter went on to have a child, named Mikey, who went on to be a vampire hunter just like his Dad. Peter died not long ago but Bob and Mikey stayed in touch. Mikey staked his first vampire at the age of ten. Needless to say that when Bob told me he'd be coming down in a few days I became incredibly intrigued.
At 3 we finally went to bed. Bob stopped over at mine as he did many nights. I slept on the sofa and he had my bed. As soon as I lay down I fell into dreams of the mysterious Mikey and the adventure we'd soon be facing together. Not once did I see Frank's face in my dreams, I never do, even though he's always there just out of sight, I suppose it's because I don't know him any more. Bob's right, I need to let him go.
I spend the next few days cutting peoples hair at the salon and keeping up appearances. I spend the nights either discussing tactics with Bob at my flat or trying to worm more information out of the vampire, whose name was eventually found to be Ray, back at headquarters.
Before I know it Bob is knocking on my front door telling me to prepare myself for a guest. "What? You didn't say he'd be staying here!" I say looking around my tiny flat in disbelief. There is hairdresser and vampire hunter paraphernalia lying around all over the place. Plus all the debris of living a double life, ie a lot of empty coffee cups.
"He won't mind, seriously. Just like, pick up some of the underwear." I blush and set about making the place inhabitable for male guests. Just as I'm stuffing the rest of my scissors into a tray there's a knock at the door.
"I'll get it." Bob smiles and wheels over to the door. I hear the two greet each other and catch up briefly. Out of nervousness more than kind-heartedness I flick the kettle on and set about making 3 cups of coffee.
"Hey. I'm Mikey. I think I'm staying here with you?" A slightly nasal sounding voice says from behind me. I turn around and come face to face with maybe the most self assured person I've ever met.
"Kat." I reply. "Have some coffee." I hand him one of the steaming cups and walk past him back into the living area of the flat. Bob's sat at the table going over the sheet of notes and plans we'd written up the previous night.
"What you doing?" I ask, setting his coffee next to him and joining him.
"Just trying to see any holes in the plan."
"Oh, I have one of them."
"Go on." He probes. Mikey joins us and looks on in interest.
"Well we know we can get in because Ray can 'capture' us and send us there but they're bound to drug us or something while we're in there to stop us rebelling. Any one, vampire hunter or not, is going to object to being held captive by a bunch of bloodsucking monsters."
"Well if I'm drugged up to my eyeballs then I'm not going to be able to fight. Similarly if I have to go without food for an indefinite amount of time, because that's bound to be how they'll drug us, then I'll be weaker than usual too."
"I'm guessing you have an idea?"
"Hell yeah." I smile. "I'm thinking that we get Ray to get us in there and then try to get himself a job working where ever we're kept ASAP. If he can get a job looking over the captives then we would be made but if we can just have him inside the house then it'll make life easier. He could potentially sneak us clean food or at least decrease the amount of drugs given to us if not completely skip drugging us."
"It's risky, are you sure he wouldn't just turn his back on you?"
"I'm sure. I've gotten to know him over the past few days and found a few things out about him. Let's just say that he won't exactly be heartbroken to see the Lamia fall."
"Oh yeah, something about slavery?"
"Yep… Erm have you filled Mikey in on the plan?" I ask, realising that Mikey was trying to read our sheet of tactics upside down as we talked.
"Yeah I told him all about it and he came up with a few good ideas. One of which you've just told us and another was that you should go in at different times, to make it less suspicious. Also that while you're there you should try to get the other captives to help you out, explain the situation to them and rally them up into an army of sorts. You may need back up."
"Ok. Sounds good. But I'm thinking these people are going to be pretty traumatized and us telling them fantastical tales of vampires isn't going to improve their mental states."
"We can paint over those bits. Just say they're a mad gang who practice vampirism. We don't have to say they actually are vampires." Mikey explains as if I'm 3.
"Makes sense." I reluctantly agree.
"I was also thinking that we should go hunting together beforehand to get used to the way each other think and to recognise each others strengths and weaknesses. I wouldn't want to wait until we get there to realise that you can't stake them if you're facing them or something pathetic."
I raise an eyebrow at Bob who just looks troubled. "I can assure you Mr Way that I have no such disposition. But if you want us to go out together then fine. Tomorrow night? I hear there's an ambush on that old warehouse at the other end of town?" I direct this last bit at Bob who nods and swallows obviously afraid of the tension already building up between me and Mikey. I can almost hear him calculating in his brain how much potential our bad relationship has to ruin this mission.
"Well I have work again in the morning so if you two boys don't mind I'm going to get a few hours kip." Bob nods and moves away from the table as if to leave.
"You can stay if you want to catch up with Mikey." I offer but he shakes his head.
"If you two are going out tomorrow I'm going to have to nip over to headquarters to get all the stats."
"Ok. Well. Don't stay up too late." He smiles and me and I yawn good bye before walking over to the bathroom and starting to get ready for bed.
"You work?" Mikey asks me. He's stood in the doorway of the bathroom, I'd forgotten to shut the door, and I'm bent over the sink with toothpaste painting a clown smile on my face.
"I need money to pay the rent you know."
"Why don't you just steal the vamps money? They have a rather ridiculous habit of carrying large quantities of gold."
"I might be a killer but I'm not a thief." I scowl wondering how he could even consider doing that.
"I love your moral logic." He responds sarcastically and then leaves.
I swill my mouth out and rinse my face quickly then follow him. "What so you'd rather that I lived in some run down shit hole and lived off of dead people's money than having a job and a life and being able to afford a semi decent home?"
"It's what I do."
"That doesn't mean it's the best way to do things."
"Well… I am the best."
"We'll see." I say coldly and shut my bedroom door on him. The last thing I need right now is some stuck up arrogant hunter who was obviously too far up his own arse to see clearly living in my flat with me, doing my job with me, watching every move I make. I shut off the lights and rest my head on my cold pillow hoping that tonight I would finally have a Frank free night.

IP Infusion's ZebOS Advanced Integration Suite (AIS) (501)
AIS is a suite of Hardware Integration Platforms (HIP)pre-integrated with an industry leading merchant silicon, and operating system.
Product Highlights
The ZebOS Advanced Integration Suite (AIS) is a suite of software platforms called the Hardware Integration Platform (HIP), each of which is created for and pre-integrated with an industry leading merchant silicon, and operating system. These HIPs provide a comprehensive forwarding plane implementation supporting L2, L3 (IPv4 & v6), multicast and MPLS/Traffic Engineering. A ZebOS AIS HIP, when combined with the ZebOS ARS L2, L3, multicast and MPLS networking protocol software for the control plane, provides a full system solution for enterprise switching, metro Ethernet, access, edge, mobile wireless and advanced IP services applications. The ZebOS Advanced Routing Suite (ARS) is a complete suite of L2, L3, multicast and MPLS networking protocol software. The ZebOS ARS supports both IPv4 and IPv6. The ZebOS ARS is well positioned not only to support core, edge, and access routing and switching platforms, but also to act as the standard routing protocol for an entire range of future IPv6 enabled devices. These devices include Small Office Home Office (SOHO) gateways, wireless, access, and security devices as well as devices that support Virtual Private Network (VPN) and Voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) technologies and require Quality of Service (QoS) and bandwidth management. The ZebOS AIS HIPs are fully system tested with the ZebOS ARS protocol software on leading merchant silicon reference platforms. The well defined and extensible API between the ARS (control plane) and the AIS (forwarding plane) called the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) allows easy addition of custom features and applications. Selecting from IPIs full range of the AIS Hardware Integration Platforms and the ZebOS ARS L2, L3 ad MPLS protocol modules, original design manufacturers (ODMs) and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can rapidly bring full solutions to market without the costly and lengthy software and hardware integration development normally associated with complex switching/routing systems. * Modular and Portable Software Architecture * Comprehensive Forwarding Plane Implementation * High Performance and Scalable Frame/Packet Forwarding * Advanced Distrubuted Stacking/Chassis Support
Product Description
Modular and Portable Software Architecture
The ZebOS Hardware Abstraction Layer isolates all of the hardware platform specific interaction into a small set of well defined function calls for the ARS (control plane). The HAL provides a unified interface for the control plane to interact with the forwarding plane for all L2, L3, multicast and MPLS forwarding needs. The function calls above the HAL runs unmodified for any switching and routing hardware platform. The result is that customers have the full flexibility to select only the required protocol modules in the most cost and code space effective way.
The ZebOS Hardware Integration Platform provides integration and optimization of the ZebOS ARS software with both merchant silicon hardware platform and operating system of choice. Taking advantage of the feature rich merchant silicon, the HIP base module includes support for hardware based QoS management, rate limiting, traffic metering, and security such as packet filtering/remarking, denial-of-service attack/CPU protection and packet tunneling.
Comprehensive Forwarding Plane Implementation
The ZebOS AIS HIP includes an advanced Interface Manager that provides a logical view of hardware platform interfaces. The Interface Manager insulates interconnect topology details of merchant silicon chips within and across hardware platforms so that hardware platform physical and logical interfaces can be easily managed and configured from the control plane through the ZebOS Integrated Management Interface (IMI). The interface manager implementation encompasses L2 ports, L3 interfaces, aggregates (L2 or L3), Switched-Virtual-Interface, and all possible L2/L3/VLAN/aggregate hierarchies. The Interface Manager simplifies systems management and provides a uniform mechanism for all of the L2, L3 and MPLS protocols to view and interact with the physical and virtual interfaces.
High Performance and Scalable Frame/Packet Forwarding
The ZebOS AIS HIP supports master Forwarding Information Base (FIB) and Forwarding Database (FDB) in software as an extension to the hardware/silicon based FIB and FDB for performance scaling. The HIP includes an Exception Packet Handler to handle exception packets received from the Packet Driver, which failed to find the destination using hardware layers forwarding information. The Exception Packet Handler can route these packet appropriately as it has access to the master FIB and FDB. Exception Packet Handler can also program the hardware layer so that future packets to the same destination can be routed using a fast-path (hardware switched path) if required.
Advanced Distributed Stacking/Chassis Support
The advanced architecture of ZebOS HIP maintains modular, portable, L2/L3 hybrid, and adaptive packet handling benefits while supporting distributed forwarding plane for maximum performance and scalability. With the ZebOS HIP distributed forwarding plane architecture, L2/3 packet forwarding and switching and routing features across the entire system and a unified management view of the stacked or chassis system based on ports are supported.
The ZebOS HIP is designed to support the concept of a master/slave instances needed to support a distributed forwarding plane in a stackable or chassis based systems with single point of management.

Agreed Guns, I don't think I could ever bring myself to vote for Howard Dean.
Although to be fair, the drudge report should've linked Dean's entire statement. To just pull out a small fragment gives the listener a distorted account.
Lastly, George McGovern is a genuine American hero. Afterall, he did fly 35 bombing missions in the Pacific Theater during World War II. In the final analysis he was proven right about Richard Nixon and Vietnam. The country would've saved itself a lot of grief if he was elected in 1972.

Adam "Pacman" Jones literally has no room to screw up now. The Dallas Cowboys have him under 24-hour surveillance with a security team. Apparently, the top security guy is impressed with Pacman, and believes he is ready to succeed.
Hashmarks has a scoop on it here.
NFL teams often hire retired police officers and FBI agents to head their security departments. The retired officers usually have ties to local law enforcement. Not everyone thinks this is a healthy arrangement. In this case, the Cowboys have much to gain if Jones realizes his potential as a dynamic return specialist and talented cover corner. At the very least, the Dallas community figures to benefit if a security detail can help Jones live within the law.
Pacman met with NFL czar Roger Goodell last week, ESPN reports.
Jones has not been allowed to visit the Cowboys' Valley Ranch facility or take part in any organized team activities, but he is hopeful the league will allow him to do so this week, according to the report.
But sources said if the NFL doesn't allow Jones to practice with the team, the Cowboys are hoping the league will allow him to undergo counseling at the facility and interact with his new teammates, the newspaper reported.

On the Zero Sum DKP going with baseline you will have the issue of inflation.
But we use a Decay system, any item that was purchased over a period of time drops off the list, any gains or losses due to that item purchase are removed, we use about 3 months.
This prevents anyone from hoarding points as they will eventually go away and encourages people to spend points because there lose will eventually go away.
This also prevents previous tier content purchases from stopping people from purchasing new tier items as the DKP is usually at a nominal level.
As for Offspec items we do not allow the use of DKP for these items but the offspec item is given if no one Bids on it (we have set class roles, and is up to the raid leader to make a decision), would rather it go to an offspec class then get sharded.

Revlon Moon Nail Art Moon Candy
Occasionally we come across a product that bestows an immediate glow, changing our look (for the better!) in an instant. Since we'd be remiss to keep them to ourselves, we highlight these genius finds in our Instant Makeover series.
3D nails are nothing new. This year we've tried button accents and of course, Ciate's Caviar Nail Kit. But Revlon Nail Art Moon Candy ($8.99, Revlon.com) is one-of-a-kind because it's so user-friendly, has a longer life span and has so many more design options.
This week I went to a beauty editor event with the amazing celebrity nail art Jin Soon at the MOMO in New York. Working with a woman who knows her nail art, she showed us so many ways we could play with the new polish — 3D ombré, French tips, and even simple designs. While I went with simple French tips, they weren't just any normal glitter tips. Because the polish is thicker, it looks like gemstones individually glued on the nails. Take a look at one of the manis Jin created at the event.
Photo: Jin Soon
Just one of the many nail art manis Jin came up with! How gorgeous are those nails? (and that ring!)
Even in the picture you can see that amazing (yet simple) 3D effect. My only warning is that the polish is sticky — don't expect perfection. But then again, when does glitter have to be perfect?
Would you try this 3D mani? Comments below pleeeeease!

How to Know Truth and Evaluate Competing Worldviews
- Wednesday, August 11, 2010
So then, the question becomes "When was the Bible corrupted?" One possibility is before the Koran was written in the seventh century. The problem with this possibility is that the Koran itself refers to the Bible as a reliable document at the time in which the Koran was written.
For example, Koran 5:47 says "Let the People of the Gospel [i.e., Christians] judge by what God hath revealed therein. If any do fail to judge by the light of what God hath revealed, they are no better than those who rebel." This is a call issued by the Koran in the seventh century for Christians to listen to what God had revealed in the New Testament. This call only makes sense if the New Testament had been faithfully preserved through the seventh century, because only then could they "judge by the light of what God hath revealed."
Likewise, Koran 5:68 says "Say: 'O People of the Book [i.e., Jews and Christians]! Ye have no ground to stand upon unless ye stand fast by the Law [i.e., the Old Testament], the Gospel [i.e., the New Testament], and all the revelation that has come to you from your Lord.'" Again, this assumes that the Bible is reliable at the time of the writing of the Koran because you can't "stand fast" by what has essentially been lost through corruption.
So, the Koran itself assumes that the Bible had been faithfully preserved, at least through the seventh century when the Koran was written. Of course, for Islam to suggest that the Bible had become fundamentally corrupted before the seventh century would lead to a contradiction, causing Islam to fail the Test of Logical Consistency.
Of course, the other possibility is that the Bible came to be corrupted at some point after the seventh century. The problem with this is that we have a massive amount of New Testament manuscripts dating as far back as the second century and Old Testament manuscripts dating back even earlier that are virtually identical with our Bibles today. This rules out the possibility of the kind of Biblical corruption that Islam requires after the second century. And of course, for Islam to suggest that the Bible had become fundamentally corrupted after the second century would simply clash with history, causing Islam to fail the Test of Historical Consistency.
So where does that leave us? The Koran does not allow for a corrupted Bible before the seventh century. History itself shows that the Bible could not have been corrupted after the second century. So there is no time left in which the Bible could have been corrupted. And since Islam depends on the notion that the Bible has been fundamentally corrupted, we see that Islam as a worldview cannot fit reality.
What About Tolerance?
With all this talk about different worldviews failing to fit reality, you might wonder what happened to tolerance. It sure doesn't sound tolerant, does it? But what is tolerance?
Our modern notion of tolerance is that you can't say that someone else's beliefs are wrong. If you do, you are being intolerant. But that is not what tolerance has always meant. The historic meaning of tolerance is that you should be willing to live peacefully and respectfully with those you believe, and even say, are wrong.
If you think about it, our modern "redefined" understanding of tolerance doesn't even make sense. If you can't say something is wrong or false, there is nothing left to tolerate.
But even more than this, our modern understanding of tolerance undercuts itself. It does the very thing that it claims ought not to be done. It says, essentially, that it is wrong for you to say that someone else is wrong. This, of course, fails the Test of Logical Consistency, and thus cannot be an approach that fits reality.

This is a pretty spectacular salad, surprising given how few ingredients there are. I added Parmesan crisps for fun; but even without it I would give it 5 stars. I also used lime juice, which gave everything a sweet and fragrant freshness. I love how this makes it easy to make use of celery, which is so cheap, healthy and filling.

When Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signed a bill adding another dollar a pack to the state's cigarette tax, law enforcement leaders knew they had their hands full.
John Chambers, head investigator for the Illinois Department of Revenue, says cigarette smuggling now rivals illegal drug smuggling, and street gangs are getting involved.
"Keep in mind this is very similar to drug activity, smuggling drugs, and there could be concealed compartments, false floors in the bed of a truck, much like drugs, all packed with cigarettes," Chambers said.
With Chicago, Cook County, and Illinois taxes all included, smokers now pay $4.66 a pack in taxes in Chicago. That's the second-highest cigarette tax in the nation, trailing only New York City at $5.85. People looking to make quick cash don't need to travel far to buy cheap cigarettes. Indiana's tax is just $0.995 a pack, and Missouri's tax is the lowest in the country at just $0.17. Chambers says cigarette smuggling is now as lucrative as drug smuggling, with much lower penalties.
"We're going to do everything in our power to combat this," he said.
In a recent study, University of Illinois at Chicago professor David Merriman found 75 percent of cigarettes in Chicago didn't have the proper tax stamps. He says the most recent increase will likely have a big impact along state lines.
"For the ordinary everyday smoker, many of them have already found ways to avoid the tax. I think it's going to be a much bigger issue in areas where the state border makes it a big difference," Merriman said.
A clerk at a tobacco shop in Hammond, Ind., less than a mile from the state line, says business has doubled since the latest increase began at the end of June.
"They come in and buy like 10, 15, 20 cartons at a time," said Jessica Kempke.
That doesn't surprise Lloyd Grant. He's a smoker who used to live in Chicago, but moved across the border to Hammond in part to avoid taxes. He says he sees people smuggling cigarettes back to Chicago all the time.
"They come to Indiana, they buy maybe a carton or two or three cartons of cigarettes, take them back to Chicago and sell them for maybe $6 or $7 a pack. They can make a lot of money," Grant said.

Obtain a revised invoice or sales receipt that shows the actual cost of the controller and submit it with your application. Back to topQ. Will the city be checking to see that my controller has been installed?A. As part of the rebate process inspections may be performed.

The rebate can only be applied to the active water account for that property. If you have rented or sold the property, your option is to work with the person currently paying the water bill to see if they will reimburse you. Back to top

Taking the lead
There are different kinds of storytellers — some prefer to express themselves vocally, by song while others prefer to communicate via the written word. Omar Rahim, on the other hand, chooses to express himself via a medium that isn't literal in its context and known for the sheer amount of discipline and hard work needed to master it: dance.
Upon meeting Omar the connection between him as a dancer makes sense — motion is deeply entrenched in his being and he tends to carry himself with a pronounced but controlled agility and gracefulness that tends to separate him, although not very starkly, from the rest of the crowd.
His interest in this study of art began at an early age when he was encouraged into gymnastics, discovering that he had an innate love for movement. Joining the Student Television Arts Company (STAC) during high school, Omar received training in music, drama and dance among other things while also being exposed to music, dance and Broadway productions in New York City. He then pursued his interest in dance in college, enrolling in a programme titled College of Letters (CoL) that incorporated the study of history, literature and philosophy. He also went on to attain a scholarship to study ballet and subsequently went on to join Susan Marshall and Company (SM&Co) and worked with them for three years, retiring from the company in 2000 — also the same year that Susan Marshall was given the MacArthur Fellowship (the Genius Grant) for her contribution to the field.
What is interesting to note is that Omar also performed a cameo in the Hollywood film, The Guru, where he made an appearance as the Indian prince opposite Heather Graham and also assisted Mary Ann Kellog in choreographing some of the dance sequences.
"I was a pretty good student, so I didn't compromise on my studies," says Omar when confronted with the question about his parents allowing him to study a field not considered as the approved norm, "in college the compromise that was made was my major was CoL which was my declared major and my additional, undeclared major was dance."
What is interesting to note is that his thesis was based on the works of Chandralekha — an controversial Indian dancer who combined the disciplines of Bharatnatyam, Kalarippayyat and Yoga in her choreography, and who is also known for reinterpreting classical traditions in dance and was often criticised for the inclusion of erotica in her sequences.
The fact that Omar was brought up in the US and that his field of study exposed him to western studies of dance, one can't help but wonder why he chose to single out the works of Chandralekha as a subject to form his thesis on? "Although my major gave me terrific tools of analysis, of understanding history, contexts, how to see one thing in a different meaning. I was interested to spend all of that time and research not in the western cannon," said Omar, going on to state that he had read about her in a magazine sometime in 1993-94 and as luck would have it, she happened to be showing her work at the Brooklyn Academy of Music around that time.
"When I saw the work I was mesmerised because I could sense that there was a depth of meaning that was very non-western. But even as a South Asian aesthetic it also had an abstraction, it had a philosophical kind of content. I found tremendous depth there, depth that I could sense but I couldn't necessarily articulate. I then reached out to her but she was initially very skeptical because her politics were very interesting."
Chandralekha has been deeply involved in women and human rights movements at several points in her life. "There wasn't very much written about her so it was a challenge for me to do research," said Omar about preparing for his thesis. "But it was great because that became the springboard for a very deep and profound friendship between Chandralekha and I. She unfortunately passed away about a year ago. I had the privilege of being able to spend time with in and out of hospitals when she was unwell."
Whereas most writers interpreted her work as being deeply feministic, Omar is of the opinion that: "Her life can be seen as a struggle between the superficiality of decorative art, dance as decorative art, versus dance/performance/action as a political process, as a political dialogue, even within oneself."
Hearing him talk about Chandralekha, one can't help but wonder whether Omar attempts to consciously make a statement when choreographing a set himself? "Honestly, I don't know how much people know how to read what I do. Because in Pakistan, I don't think we're a very seasoned dance nation: People are not used to watching and analysing dance. We have this notion, that I get from my grandmother often that 'tum to mirasi ban gaye ho'. It's sort of like you're a low-class entertainer," he says and then adds thoughtfully, "And I think that's changing. But again, there isn't that kind of respect given to dance as a text. Also as something that deserves legitimate study."
Does he think it is because, as certain local musicians are of the opinion, that a dominant part of the local population does not understand music or art that is not literally spelt out to them? "I think that's part of it. Among the so-called higher arts in Pakistan, I think abstraction isn't understood. However, we have another, very fertile cultural space that embraces abstraction in a very sophisticated way. If you go to Bhit Shah and listen to the fakirs, they make the strangest most unusual sounds. There is an abstraction to this experience of sound. To me that is how seriously and how humbly people are exploring abstraction in their art. It's also very emotional, touching and moving. But it's not so obvious, it's not so crass." Pausing for a moment, he concludes, "But there is a way in which the literalness of everything else is dumbing us down."
A part of what Omar does, other than dance, is that he's established his own home-textile business as Soof Designs in New York and London, working in collaboration with designers such as Paul Smith and Tracy Feith. It predominantly focuses on the print and textiles that have been indigenous to Pakistan — which also explain his frequent trips to the Bhit Shah and other interior areas of the country.
"I think that to understand this culture, this land a little more deeply, one has to step out of the living room. What interested me, first of all, as an entrepreneur, was to find terrific folk heritage and artisanal tradition which is very much alive still. It's hanging on by a thread but it's still here in Pakistan," he says talking about how the idea of introducing local textiles in a foreign market took place. "I could see that that kind of work is really appreciated in the states. I thought it would be worthwhile spending some time and money investigating that."
Talking about his plans for himself, he says, "I'm at a point now when I want to invest a little more in my own performance, because I haven't been performing for the last many years but I do want to get back into performing and get back into making work that is not perceived simply of as entertainment but is actually, in a sense, 'textual' dance." Adding further he says, "Something that people would want to study, that's content driven."

Greenwood Elementary School Reviews
The quality of edcuation is lower this year then in the past. Greenwood has adopted a single track system vs. a traditional year round school system. A few other schools in the Montebello School District (CA.) are also on single track. Parents are advocating that the district return to a traditional school system, yet the teachers union and the district created a behind the door contract to phase in a single track system. LAUSD is also starting to phase in single track systems and the parents are starting to organize to protest these efforts.

My sincere apologies. We recently experienced a catastrophic system failure. Whilst I will be posting new items as they become available, I will be working to recover older items. This recovery may take some time, so please bear with us.
The Tunbridge Wells Contact and a colleague seized the moment for a little impromptu leafleting during a visit to Eastbourne, East Sussex.
Their leafleting in Eastbourne was short but sweet; mainly due to the rain and they just leafleted the town centre and not individual streets.
Even though the streets were empty the "Leafleting went well today, with our message of the negative impacts the EU are having on our seals getting a good reaction from the public as we put out a few hundred leaflets in the town centre of Eastbourne."
"We plan on returning in the near future and look forward to bringing our message to Eastbourne more and more."
"We aim to give people a real choice; honest politics from ordinary people who talk about the problems that really matter to the people of Eastbourne."
"We will be visiting more and more towns in the South East in future to show them we are ready to listen to the REAL concerns of people."
"Concerns that are mostly dismissed by mainstream politicians."

Seeing as I just started a music thread, I might as well start a book thread too because there doesn't seem to be one of those either (please accept my apologies if there is, I'm still wiping the tears from my eyes after this week's episode of QI so my vision is a bit iffy).
My favourite book ever used to be To Kill A Mockingbird (surprise surprise, and that's where I got my name from), but it's been years and years since I read it so just for the sake of accuracy I don't feel like I can say it is any more...I need to read it again.
So for the time being I'm going to go with Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov (although I'm not calling myself lolita on any message board :P). It's fantastic, and if you haven't read it you should. I read an interesting article on it a few months ago, well it didn't teach me much that I didn't already know but it was an enjoyable read, I wish I could remember where it was. Either way, I hope other people here have read and enjoyed it. It was pretty much the highlight of my entire time at uni when I got to answer an exam question using that book although I still didn't get amazing marks but hey, I actually enjoyed an exam which is a first in its own right!

In a hangar at Dobbins ARB the Thrasherville masses are assembled. Gen. Rawhide takes to the stage, moves to center-front and addresses the troops
At ease, men…ahem…and ladies.
For decades now, Stanley Cup winners returning from the playoffs enjoyed the honor of a triumph – a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians, together with carts laden with awarded treasure and captured hockey equipment. The head coach rode in a triumphal convertible, the dazed members of the press who wrote it would never happen walked before him. The players, robed in white jerseys, rode behind him in their convertibles, or rode in backs of flatbed trucks. The general manager stood behind the coach, holding the silver Cup, and whispering in his ear a warning: that all glory is fleeting.
Well, fleeting or not…I want to experience that glory!
Today, as we have at this time since 1999, we stand at the precipice of another Thrashers campaign. And tonight we'll gather once more in the theater of operations known as Philips Arena to begin the eleventh season of battle for our home, Thrasherville.
Unfortunately, all previous endeavors have seen the fight come up short of total victory…only once advancing far enough as to claim a playoff birth. In the past, we have seen our troops go into battle with a porous defense, questionable goaltending and certain forwards that thought only of self-first, not team.
Thrashers defending their zone were attacked by legions of enemy skaters. The Thrashers were proud and brave but they couldn't hold. They were massacred. Opposing forwards stripped them of their pucks and sticks…as well as various other athletic protective and supportive gear. The goalies lay naked, alone to face the assault. This has happened for the past ten seasons. No glory…fleeting or otherwise.
I was there…as were many of you too.
But if there is one thing we've learned, it's that no poor, dumb team has ever won a championship by constantly defending their goal. You win by making the other poor, dumb players defend theirs. Tonight, the Capitals are the enemy. Wade into them, pour into their end of the ice. Attack their zone. Shoot at their goal.
Now there's one other thing I want you to remember. I don't want any messages posted here this season saying that we are doing fine despite losses…that we are, in essence, "holding our positions" until wins finally come.
We're not holding anything! Let the other team do that!
We are taking the puck and advancing constantly…we're not interested in holding anything except the enemy. We are going to hold on to him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the butt. We're going to kick the snot out of him all the time and we're going to go through him like a Varsity chilidog.
Remember, all real hockey players and fans love the sting of on-ice battle. When you were kids, you all admired the Stanley Cup Champion team, the fastest skater, the best NHL players, and the toughest enforcer. Hockey fans love a winner and will not tolerate a loser. You must play to win all the time. Losses are not acceptable…not even overtime losses that come with the consolation "loser" point.
Why, I wouldn't give a bag of used, chipped pucks for a player or fan that lost and laughed.
As for those pundits up north whose preseason predictions have the Thrashers finishing low, even last, in the standings…why, the blow-hards who wrote that stuff in the on-line hockey blogosphere don't know anything more about that than they do about forechecking. This week everyone started out 0-0-0 again, and anything…yes, anything…can happen.
Anything, that is, if this Thrashers' squad play as a team. It must live, eat, sleep, skate, play and fight as a team. This individuality stuff is a bunch of male bovine excretion!
Some of you who are stationed in the stands, rooting for our on-ice combatants, are concerned that when the time comes you won't know what to do. Well, let me tell you something. When you put your hand into a bunch of goo that just moments before was the clean, unsoiled crest of your brand new Thrashers jersey…and that goo is the remains of a hotdog smothered in ketchup, mustard and relish, spilled on you my some obnoxious, uncouth fan of the visiting team…well by God, you'll know what to do.
Now, there's one thing that you men…and ladies… will be able to say when this campaign is over, and you may thank the hockey gods for it. Thirty years from now when you're sitting around your fireside with your grandson on your knee, and he asks you, "What did you do in the great Thrashers hockey campaign of 2010-11", you won't have to say, "Well, son… I shoveled snow in Buffalo".
Alright now, you know how I feel. I will be proud to lead you wonderful men and women into battle anytime, anywhere. Or at least at Philips Arena…and TJ's tomorrow night.
That is all.

What? We don't want him! Send him to Mexico!!

"I hope Burmistrov is just here for the 9-game audition."
Cormier is going to push someone out when he's ready to go, may be Burmistrov if he falters.
I like Ladd on the line with Bergfors and Little, he can be the defensively responsible one and I expect Coach to match this line up with Ovechkin's line tonight so Ladd can be checking Ovechkin, which is his strength and what he did so well for the Hawks, and he'll get loose and get his shots.
I expect a win tonight? Why, no reason, I just expect them to win and seeing how the games went last night (Leafs win, Hawks lose, Pens lose new arena opener), it seems that the team you'd expect to win is losing the opener, so 2 pts for us and let Mason get us #3 and 4 tomorrow night, no more of this let's lose tonight so we can try to get 2 tomorrow dribble, ok?!

I'd like to see Rick Dudley "engage in a pugilistic endeavor" with Jeff Schultz at center ice…
…or in the locker room…
…or in a bar…
…or on the street…
Go get 'em tonight, Thrashers!
October 8th, 2010
2:29 pm
The team is going to give Burmistrov his nine games. After that, they'll evaluate where he is. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed or went back to Barrie.
Really happy to have him here. Just hope, if he sticks, that he'll be a productive member of this team.

Good stuff Rawhide.
I like the lines on this squad. It's fun to speculate in pre-season mock battles what they will be. But, when the s#*! starts to fly for real, like all battles, even the best laid plans are always the first thing to change.
It looks like the O lines are assembled just like Commander Ramsay said they would be: a top line that is primarily attackers, a second line of attackers and hard checkers both for and aft, a third line of secondary attackers who can check, a fourth line of checkers who can attack and put the enemy in its place when things get ugly, and defenders who can go on the attack.
The LLB line has huge things to prove this season. Can Ladd be a top line guy and put up the numbers when he gets ice and PP time? Will Bergy build on last season or will he be in a self imposed disgruntled sophomore slump? No Soldier on the Thrashers was more snake-bit than Little last season. He will be the Thrashers' number one center that once again gets the recognition and respect he deserves. KPS, watch out! They are coming for you! Can Stewart build on his brother's fame and success in CO? He has his chance. Kane will be as feared as another Kane – only more so. Pevs will be there to feed them the ammo. The MAD line is just that, wily Vets who will take advantage of the enemy's mistakes while not giving up many, driving the enemy mad with their psychological warfare. Burmistrov will be protected by some big guns who are mobile and can go on the offence. Who predicted pre-season he'd be on the fourth line? Will this be the best final wave in all the NHL?
On D, Buff and Toby will see lots of action. Who would have thought of that combo? But I like it. Expect big numbers from these two this season. Buff can distract and terrorize while Toby sneaks under the wire. Oduya and Bogo are another interesting combo. Bogo can go with the puck while the more stay at home Johnny O has got his back. Hainsey and Sopel, the two oldest Vets on the D and the two called out by their commander while in training. Does Hainsey's role transition to more of a shot blocker and shut-down guy like Sopel did when he went to Chicago? Are both going to stay home or will one give the other the green light to go on the attack? I think these old Vets will communicate well with each other and eventually figure it out if they have not already done so.
The last line of defence will be the young netminder with lots to prove. Will he hold up with the improved and bolstered team D in front of him or will he cower under the enemy onslaught? There is in reserve a Vet who has seen it all just in case he goes down. And, there are other battle proven reserves in waiting should another comrade fall. Never have the Thrashers had this much depth top to bottom and in reserve. They are well supplied.
It's all part of Commander Ramsay's and General Dudley's different strategies and tactics. Build your Army with quality pieces up and down the ranks, keep it simple, keep the enemy guessing, and attack, attack, attack! I like it.
The Thrashers will battle their way into post-season this year. Once that fight begins, anything can happen. Bring 'Em On!!!
One final note of pride. Like the Soldiers in the United States Army of the 1950's and today, it's nice to see this unit well integrated. Change has come to Atlanta in many ways. This may be the best change of them all.

After peering into my capgeek.com crystal ball, I will predict the Thrasher opening night payroll to be…are you sitting down?
That's right, you saw the prediction here first. I know you are all stunned by my prognostication skills. Don't question my guess…since….as you already know…it to be correct.
However, if you must, go ahead and check capgeek.com
October 8th, 2010
2:53 pm
After consulting with R. Stroztradamus, who by the way will not make his point prediction until the final roster is set for the season, I will hazard a point and standings guess.
Due to the number of ifs and buts which must play out for a really successful season, I guess is as follows:
84 points, 3rd in the division, 11th in the conference.
October 8th, 2010
2:54 pm
Cornbread, Ramsay is saying Modin-Antropov-Dawes is our #1 line. Doesn't make much sense to me either, but that's what he's saying . . . Little's line is the 2nd line, Peverley's is 3rd.
I see him matching Little's line against Ovechkin's line though, which would by default make Little's line tops in ice time tonight as Ovy's line will see the most ice. There's no way he's matching up Antropov's line against Ovy, Ovy would skate circles around them
Which d pair does he trot out against Ovy tonight? Buff and Enstrom? You may see Buff exposed for his weak skating (backwards) as a dman tonight if that's true . . .
October 8th, 2010

Carolina starts the season with two wins in a row = 4 points, UGH!
October 8th, 2010
2:59 pm
Don't think I'm crazy but….
I'm not so worried about Pavs tonight. If for no other reason than the fact that it's A-O&Co. Seriously. Every netminder in The Known Universe knows about that team, and has dreams/nightmares about facing them and shutting them out/getting lit the $@!k up.
I think the kid has oodles of potential and really needs to work on one or two things to become a "first tier" goalie in this league. Namely, rebound control and squaring to the second shot. This is the best league in the world and Ondrej must realize that unless he catches it cleanly, there will be a second shot. Everytime. Now rebound control also plays into that, as we've all seen Pavelec make a save only to leave the puck right there in the goal mouth where enterprising fellers from the other bench have a point-blank opportunity. He gets those two issues under tighter control, and physically, he's ready for the close-up. Mentally, it's tough to stay engaged on every play every time. Which is why so few people make it to the highest levels of professional sports. We've all seen the desire in this kid-I think it's now just a question of maintaining his focus and attention to detail. Mental focus leads to proper physical execution(which would address the points above), O-P gets this tightened up-watch out, we may have a Vezina candidate.
Anyway, point I'm makin about tonight is this:dude will will be ready to play-big question is: can he bring it day in day out?
October 8th, 2010
3:00 pm
Rawhide-I'm sorry, but I just can't shake this extremely pessimistic feeling about this season. It may be due to the poor preseason record, or it could just be my depression in watching the Braves choke away the division. That said, I'm just as concerned as most fans about where the goals on this team are going to come from. Pavs and the D-Corps do not inspire belief in me in our ability to win 2-1 type games on a consistent basis. I hope to God, that I'm wrong.

R.Stroztradamus, this isn't possible. http://www.capgeek.com/charts.php?Team=7.
How can the Thrashers be legally permitted to be BELOW the FLOOR of the cap, on "Opening Night?" Per CapGeek.com, our cap is $42,014.167. The FLOOR is $43.4 million. How can this be???

Red Light, you're going to destroy your Fantasty League this week. And thank you for your East/West Division predictions. I should have done that. Instead, I went #1 to # 15. Minnesota is a playoff team, eh? I can see that. I had them 9th, just edged out by Nashville. I like the Wild. I like Chuck Fletch, Cliff Fletcher's son. He was born to be a GM.

Gen Rawhide: Cut it out! Cut it out! Cut it out! The hell's the matter with you? Stupid! We're all very different people. We're not Watusi. We're not Spartans. We're Thrashers, with a capital 'T', huh? You know what that means? Do ya? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuse. We're the underdog. We're mutts! Here's proof: his nose is cold! But there's no animal that's more faithful, that's more loyal, more loveable than the mutt. Who saw "Old Yeller?" Who cried when Old Yeller got shot at the end?
[raises his hand]
John Winger: *sarcastically* Nobody cried when Old Yeller got shot? I'm sure.
[hands are reluctantly raised]
Gen Rawhide: I cried my eyes out. So we're all dogfaces, we're all very, very different, but there is one thing that we all have in common: we were all stupid enough to play for the Thrashers. We're mutants. There's something wrong with us, something very, very wrong with us. Something seriously wrong with us – we're hockey players. But we're Thrasher hockey players! We've been getting our asses kicked for all 10 years Wadell has been our GM. We're 1and 10! Now we don't have to worry about whether or not we practiced. We don't have to worry about whether Captain Wadell wants to have us hung. All we have to do is to be the great Thrasher fighting soldier that is inside each one of us. Now do what I do, and say what I say. And make me proud.

There's about half an hour left in the contest. It's not too late. We're not yet at "puck drop," but the anticipation is building! It's gonna pop like a Champagne cork!

Well, Ilya Kovalchuk has his first point of the season. It's an assist. Let it go, Brendan. Let it go.
Could the winning guess in the contest come, right here, right now? Well, it's possible. There's still time. Barely, time. "Puck drop" is your LAST SHOT at an entry.
October 8th, 2010
7:25 pm
Tony C., 92-pts, 3rd, and 7th is now entered. I got it right in my spreadsheet, but I typed here, incorrectly. Tony C., you're in. 92-points, 3rd, and 7th in the conference. Good luck!

Trixie, if you can fix spacing of that, I'd appreciate it.
So, what the HECK just happened to Ondrej Pavelec? My send my prayers to him for a full recovery. It's the most bizzare thing.

Announcers are saying that Pavelec has been taken to a nearby hospital, which I'm guessing is Grady, but that play cannot resume until another emergency vehicle arrives at the arena, just in case another player became incapacitated, needing urgent medical assistance. There is no word on what has actually happened to Ondrej Pavelec.
Certainly, many of us wanted to see Chris Mason, tonight. But this is not the way we hoped he'd enter the game.
Well, play just resumed. So, so much for the secondary emergecy vehicle theory, by the announcers.

And, on the very first shot against Chris Mason as a Thrasher, the Capitals have scored on a "beautiful" 3-way passing play. Ooops. Can't fault Mason on it, really. He had no shot.

The Philips Arena crowd is noticeably loud, on the Center Ice feed.

Laich scored for Washington. Evander Kane answered for Atlanta. It's 1-1.

Seawater is highly erosive to glacial ice. Waves and tides work away at an unstable glacier face, causing huge chunks of ice to calve, or break off, into the ocean.
