I saw the allman bros. jan. 1969 at the fillmore east. I remarked "look they have 2 guitars and 2 drummers, just like the DEAD who they were opening for that night. They messed up the beginning of the first song but were fantastic after that. It was obvious to me 16 that they were going to be stars. also both groups featured the organ-but the dead were the earlier version of this musical lineup.
Al – good memories. What a show to see. I've always preferred the ABB's harder hitting, tighter, more blues-based approach.
in the 1900s to the 1940s dance and ragtime bands often had two drummers, a snare drummer, and the other bass. Later the standard number of drummers was reduced to one, probably for financial reasons, this move prompted the development of the "drum kit" as we know it.

Europe's top rated human rights watchdog has urged Germany to stop offering sexual offenders the choice of surgical castration.
The Council of Europe's anti-torture committee mentioned inside a report issued Wednesday that the practice, which aims to help convicted sex criminals rein in their sex drives and lower their risk of reoffending, could simply be regarded as "degrading remedy." Based on Germany's 1969 Law on Voluntary Castration, a person more than the age of 25 may possibly be subjected to surgical castration if he "displays an abnormal sex drive, which … provides reason to suspect that he will commit 1 or a lot more criminal offenses." The controversial process just isn't mandatory as well as a consensual offender can only have the operation right after being informed of all of the implications with the decision and following medical approval has been obtained, Germany mentioned in its response, adding that it would think about reviewing the problem.
But Berlin also cited the treatment's effectiveness, saying that of the 104 people that underwent the process in the 1970s, only 3 men and women committed sexual crimes once again. Practically half in the 53 other people who refused or had been denied treatment eventually reoffended.
Voluntary castration is nonetheless very rare in Germany, with fewer than 5 situations per year inside the last decade.
The only other country inside the 47-nation bloc in the Council of Europe that gives the approach will be the Czech Republic, which has also been the subject of criticism in recent years for allowing sex offenders to opt for castration, a process it makes use of far far more often than Germany.
Although a sequel for "The Muppets" has been greenlit, a single star who was integral to bringing the franchise in to the new millennium will not be a component of it, reports Collider.
Jason Segel told the website he will not be signing up for yet another round with Kermit and Co. "It's accurate [that I will not be in the sequel]," stated Segel, "but it is entirely amicable. My objective was to bring the Muppets back and I did that, leaving them in extremely good hands." Segel said he wants "to pursue much more human-related projects," adding, "All I wanted to do was to set the stage for them to complete whatever they wanted. I am sure I'll return in some capacity right here and there, but that was half a decade of my life. Five years of challenging function. I'm ready for a little puppet break."

After yesterday's embarrassing loss to to the Washington Capitals, the New Jersey Devils (10-4-4) are back home to host the back-end of back-to-back games tonight. The Devils will play the Winnipeg Jets (7-9-1) for the first time this season. It's the first of two straight games against Winnipeg, as New Jersey will cross the border for a game against the Jets on Thursday night, too. Tonight's game is set to start at 5 p.m. at Prudential Center. Here are the game notes and the preview:
Rebound Time: Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Capitals was ugly, to say the least, but it's in the past now. The Devils have made a good habit of rebounding from ugly games, and they will have to do that again today. The Jets have struggled as a sub-.500 team all season, and New Jersey can't afford another bad loss after losing to last-place Washington yesterday.
Back-End Magic: Tonight will mark the fourth time that the Devils are playing games on two straight days. In the previous three, they have gone 2-1 in the second game with wins over the New York Islanders on Feb. 3 and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Feb. 10. Their only loss came the last time they did this: a 5-1 loss to the Islanders on Feb. 16. New Jersey will look to right that ship again tonight, as they host the Jets in this odd lockout-shortened schedule.
Maaaarrtyyyy: After goalie Johan Hedberg had his second consecutive poor start, Martin Brodeur will likely be back in net for New Jersey today. It's the first time that Brodeur will be in net for the back-end of a back-to-back set, as he normally starts the first one, but he will probably be there this time. In his 13 starts this year, Brodeur has posted an 8-2-3 record with a 2.27 goals-against-average.
Carter Still Out: Devils' forward Ryan Carter remains out with an upper body injury, and New Jersey isn't yet prepared to call it a concussion. Carter left Monday's loss against the Ottawa Senators in the second period, so rookie Stefan Matteau will take his place in the lineup for the third straight game today.

Jordan Brand Dominate Another Day: H vs. Snake Charmer
March 9th, 2011 by John Kim | No comments
As Dwyane Wade heads West to face the Los Angeles Lakers tonight, Specialist H tests out the Air Jordan 2011 in a simulated battle against the Snake Charmer. While we don't get to see the true identity of the Snake Charmer, it's quite obvious it's a slithery superstar that Wade has met before. The Air Jordan 2011 allows you to be quick or explosive, and both attributes are clearly displayed. However, it's up to the person in the shoes to put the ball in the basket, can clearly Specialist H has a long way to go in that department. Check out the full video below and watch Dwyane Wade and the Heat battle the defending champion Kobe Bryant and the Lakers tomorrow night!

Adam Clarke Commentary
Romans 7
The law has power over a man as long as he lives, Romans 7:1. And a wife is bound to her husband only as long as he lives, Romans 7:2, Romans 7:3. Christian believers are delivered from the Mosaic law by Christ Jesus, and united to God, Romans 7:5-7. By the law is the knowledge of sin, Romans 7:8. But it gives no power over it, Romans 7:9-11. Yet it is holy, just, and good, Romans 7:12. How it convinces of sin, and brings into bondage, Romans 7:13-24. No deliverance from its curse but by Jesus Christ, Romans 7:25.
The apostle having, in the preceding chapter, shown the converted Gentiles the obligations they were under to live a holy life, addresses himself here to the Jews who might hesitate to embrace the Gospel; lest, by this means, they should renounce the law, which might appear to them as a renunciation of their allegiance to God. As they rested in the law, as sufficient for justification and sanctification, it was necessary to convince them of their mistake. That the law was insufficient for their justification the apostle had proved, in chapters iii., iv., and v.; that it is insufficient for their sanctification he shows in this chapter; and introduces his discourse by showing that a believing Jew is discharged from his obligations to the law, and is at liberty to come under another and much happier constitution, viz. that of the Gospel of Christ, Romans 7:1-4. In Romans 7:5 he gives a general description of the state of a Jew, in servitude to sin, considered as under mere law. In Romans 7:6 he gives a summary account of the state of a Christian, or believing Jew, and the advantages he enjoys under the Gospel. Upon Romans 7:5 he comments, from Romans 7:7-25, and upon Romans 7:6 he comments, Romans 8:1-11.
1.That the law reaches to all the branches and latent principles of sin, Romans 7:7.
2.That it subjected the sinner to death, Romans 7:8-12, without the expectation of pardon.
4.He proves that the law, considered as a rule of action, though it was spiritual, just, holy, and good in itself, yet was insufficient for sanctification, or for freeing a man from the power of inbred sin.
For, as the prevalency of sensual appetites cannot wholly extinguish the voice of reason and conscience, a man may acknowledge the law to be holy, just, and good, and yet his passions reign within him, keeping him in the most painful and degrading servitude, while the law supplied no power to deliver him from them, Romans 7:14-24, as that power can only be supplied by the grace of Jesus Christ, Romans 7:25. See Taylor.
Verse 1
For I speak to them that know the law - This is a proof that the apostle directs this part of his discourse to the Jews.
As long as he liveth? - Or, as long as It liveth; law does not extend its influence to the dead, nor do abrogated laws bind. It is all the same whether we understand these words as speaking of a law abrogated, so that it cannot command; or of its objects being dead, so that it has none to bind. In either case the law has no force.
Verse 2
For the woman which hath a husband - The apostle illustrates his meaning by a familiar instance. A married woman is bound to her husband while he lives; but when her husband is dead she is discharged from the law by which she was bound to him alone.
Verse 3
So then, if, while her husband liveth - The object of the apostle's similitude is to show that each party is equally bound to the other; but that the death of either dissolves the engagement.
So - she is no adulteress, though she be married to another - And do not imagine that this change would argue any disloyalty in you to your Maker; for, as he has determined that this law of ordinances shall cease, you are no more bound to it than a woman is to a deceased husband, and are as free to receive the Gospel of Christ as a woman in such circumstances would be to remarry.
Verse 4
Wherefore, my brethren - This is a parallel case. You were once under the law of Moses, and were bound by its injunctions; but now ye are become dead to that law - a modest, inoffensive mode of speech, for, The law, which was once your husband, is dead; God has determined that it shall be no longer in force; so that now, as a woman whose husband is dead is freed from the law of that husband, or from her conjugal vow, and may legally be married to another, so God, who gave the law under which ye have hitherto lived, designed that it should be in force only till the advent of the Messiah; that advent has taken place, the law has consequently ceased, and now ye are called to take on you the yoke of the Gospel, and lay down the yoke of the law; and it is the design of God that you should do so.
That ye should be married to another - who is raised from the dead - As Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth, the object of God in giving the law was to unite you to Christ; and, as he has died, he has not only abolished that law which condemns every transgressor to death, without any hope of a revival, but he has also made that atonement for sin, by his own death, which is represented in the sacrifices prescribed by the law. And as Jesus Christ is risen again from the dead, he has thereby given the fullest proof that by his death he has procured the resurrection of mankind, and made that atonement required by the law. That we should bring forth fruit unto God - we, Jews, who believe in Christ, have, in consequence of our union with him, received the gifts and graces of the Holy Spirit; so that we bring forth that fruit of holiness unto God which, without this union, it would be impossible for us to produce. Here is a delicate allusion to the case of a promising and numerous progeny from a legitimate and happy marriage.
Verse 5
For, when we were in the flesh - When we were without the Gospel, in our carnal and unregenerated state, though believing in the law of Moses, and performing the rites and offices of our religion.
The motions of sins, which were by the law - Τα παθηματα των ἁμαρτιων , the passions of sins, the evil propensities to sins; to every particular sin there is a propensity: one propensity does not excite to all kinds of sinful acts; hence the apostle uses the plural number, the Passions or propensities of Sins; sins being not more various than their propensities in the unregenerate heart, which excite to them. These παθηματα , propensities, constitute the fallen nature; they are the disease of the heart, the pollution and corruption of the soul.
Did work in our members - The evil propensity acts εν τοις μελεσιν , in the whole nervous and muscular system, applying that stimulus to every part which is necessary to excite them to action.
To bring forth fruit unto death - To produce those acts of transgression which subject the sinner to death, temporal and eternal. When the apostle says, the motion of sin which were by the law, he points out a most striking and invariable characteristic of sin, viz. its rebellious nature; it ever acts against law, and the most powerfully against known law. Because the law requires obedience, therefore it will transgress. The law is equally against evil passions and evil actions, and both these exert themselves against it. So, these motions which were by the law, became roused into the most powerful activity by the prohibitions of the law. They were comparatively dormant till the law said, thou shalt Not do this, thou shalt Do that; then the rebellious principle in the evil propensity became roused, and acts of transgression and omissions of duty were the immediate consequences.
Verse 6
But now we are delivered from the law - We, who have believed in Christ Jesus, are delivered from that yoke by which we were bound, which sentenced every transgressor to perdition, but provided no pardon even for the penitent, and no sanctification for those who are weary of their inbred corruptions.
That being dead wherein we were held - To us believers in Christ this commandment is abrogated; we are transferred to another constitution; that law which kills ceases to bind us; it is dead to us who have believed in Christ Jesus, who is the end of the law for justification and salvation to every one that believes.
That we should serve in newness of spirit - We are now brought under a more spiritual dispensation; now we know the spiritual import of all the Mosaic precepts. We see that the law referred to the Gospel, and can only be fulfilled by the Gospel.
The oldness of the letter - The merely literal rites, ceremonies, and sacrifices are now done away; and the newness of the spirit, the true intent and meaning of all are now fully disclosed; so that we are got from an imperfect state into a state of perfection and excellence. We sought justification and sanctification, pardon and holiness, by the law, and have found that the law could not give them: we have sought these in the Gospel scheme, and we have found them. We serve God now, not according to the old literal sense, but in the true spiritual meaning.
Verse 7
Is the law sin? - The apostle had said, Romans 7:6: The motions of sins, which were by the law, did bring forth fruit unto death; and now he anticipates an objection, "Is therefore the law sin?" To which he answers, as usual, μη γενοιτο , by no means. Law is only the means of disclosing; this sinful propensity, not of producing it; as a bright beam of the sun introduced into a room shows; millions of motes which appear to be dancing in it in all directions; but these were not introduced by the light: they were there before, only there was not light enough to make them manifest; so the evil propensity was there before, but there was not light sufficient to discover it.
I had not known sin, but by the law - Mr. Locke and Dr. Taylor have properly remarked the skill used by St. Paul in dexterously avoiding, as much as possible, the giving offense to the Jews: and this is particularly evident in his use of the word I in this place. In the beginning of the chapter, where he mentions their knowledge of the law, he says Ye; in the 4th verse he joins himself with them, and says we; but here, and so to the end of the chapter, where he represents the power of sin and the inability of the law to subdue it, he appears to leave them out, and speaks altogether in the first person, though it is plain he means all those who are under the law. So, Romans 3:7, he uses the singular pronoun, why am I judged a sinner? when he evidently means the whole body of unbelieving Jews.
1.That the law requires the most extensive obedience, discovering and condemning sin in all its most secret and remote branches, Romans 7:7.
2.That it gives sin a deadly force, subjecting every transgression to the penalty of death, Romans 7:8-14. And yet,
3.supplies neither help nor hope to the sinner, but leaves him under the power of sin, and the sentence of death, Romans 7:14, etc. This, says Dr. Taylor, is the most ingenious turn of writing I ever met with. We have another instance of the same sort, Romans 13:1-7.
It is not likely that a dark, corrupt human heart can discern the will of God. His law is his will. It recommends what is just, and right, and good and forbids what is improper, unjust, and injurious. If God had not revealed himself by this law, we should have done precisely what many nations of the earth have done, who have not had this revelation - put darkness for light, and sin for acts of holiness. While the human heart is its own measure it will rate its workings according to its own propensities; for itself is its highest rule. But when God gives a true insight of his own perfections, to be applied as a rule both of passion and practice, then sin is discovered, and discovered too, to be exceedingly sinful. So strong propensities, because they appear to be inherent in our nature, would have passed for natural and necessary operations; and their sinfulness would not have been discovered, if the law had not said, Thou shalt not covet; and thus determined that the propensity itself, as well as its outward operations, is sinful. The law is the straight edge which determines the quantum of obliquity in the crooked line to which it is applied.
And Ovid, Amor. lib. ii. Eleg. xix. ver. 3: -
And again, Ib. lib. iii. E. iv. ver. 17: -
The same poet delivers the same sentiment it another place: -
But it is needless to multiply examples; this most wicked principle of a sinful, fallen nature, has been felt and acknowledged by All mankind.
Verse 8
Sin, taking occasion by the commandment - I think the pointing, both in this and in the 11th verse, to be wrong: the comma should be after occasion, and not after commandment. But sin taking occasion, wrought in me by this commandment all manner of concupiscence. There are different opinions concerning the meaning of the word αφορμη , which we here translate occasion. Dr. Waterland translates the clause, Sin, taking Advantage. Dr. Taylor contends that all commentators have mistaken the meaning of it, and that it should be rendered having received Force. For this acceptation of the word I can find no adequate authority except in its etymology - απο , from, and ὁρμη , impetus. The word appears to signify, in general, whatsoever is necessary for the completion or accomplishment of any particular purpose. Xenophon uses αφορμαι εις τον βιον to signify whatever is necessary for the support of life. There is a personification in the text: sin is, represented as a murderer watching for life, and snatching at every means and embracing every opportunity to carry his fell purpose into effect. The miserable sinner has a murderer, sin, within him; this murderer can only destroy life in certain circumstances; finding that the law condemns the object of his cruelty to death, he takes occasion from this to work in the soul all manner of concupiscence, evil and irregular desires and appetites of every kind, and, by thus increasing the evil, exposes the soul to more condemnation; and thus it is represented as being slain, Romans 7:11. That is, the law, on the evidence of those sinful dispositions, and their corresponding practices, condemns the sinner to death: so that he is dead in law. Thus the very prohibition, as we have already seen in the preceding verse, becomes the instrument of exciting the evil propensity; for, although a sinner has the general propensity to do what is evil, yet he seems to feel most delight in transgressing known law: stat pro ratione voluntas; "I will do it, because I will."
For without the law, sin was dead - Where there is no law there is no transgression; for sin is the transgression of the law; and no fault can be imputed unto death, where there is no statute by which such a fault is made a capital offense.
All manner of concupiscence - It showed what was evil and forbade it; and then the principle of rebellion, which seems essential to the very nature of sins rose up against the prohibition; and he was the more strongly incited to disobey in proportion as obedience was enjoined. Thus the apostle shows that the law had authority to prohibit, condemn, and destroy; but no power to pardon sin, root out enmity, or save the soul.
For without the law, sin was dead - This means, according to Dr. Taylor's hypothesis, the time previous to the giving of the law. See before. But it seems also consistent with the apostle's meaning, to interpret the place as implying the time in which Paul, in his unconverted Jewish state, had not the proper knowledge of the law - while he was unacquainted with its spirituality. He felt evil desire, but he did not know the evil of it; he did not consider that the law tried the heart and its workings, as well as outward actions. This is farther explained in the next verse.
Verse 9
I was alive without the law once - Dr. Whitby paraphrases the verse thus: - "For the seed of Abraham was alive without the law once, before the law was given, I being not obnoxious to death for that to which the law had not threatened death; but when the commandment came, forbidding it under that penalty, sin revived, and I died; i.e. it got strength to draw me to sin, and to condemn me to death. Sin is, in Scripture, represented as an enemy that seeks our ruin and destruction; and takes all occasions to effect it. It is here said to war against the mind, Romans 7:23; elsewhere, to war against the soul, 1 Peter 2:11; to surround and beset us, Hebrews 12:1; to bring us into bondage and subjection, and get the dominion over us, Romans 6:12; to entice us, and so to work our death, James 1:14-16; and to do all that Satan, the grand enemy of mankind, doth, by tempting us to the commission of it. Whence Chrysostom, upon those words, Hebrews 12:4: Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, προς την ἁμαρτιαν ανταγωνιζομενοι , striving against sin; represents sin as an armed and flagrant adversary. When, therefore, it finds a law which threatens death to the violator of it, it takes occasion thence more earnestly to tempt and allure to the violation of it, that so it may more effectually subject us to death and condemnation on that account; for the sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law, condemning us to death for transgressing it. Thus, when God had forbidden, on pain of death, the eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge, Satan thence took occasion to tempt our first parents to transgress, and so slew them, or made them subject to death; εξηπατησε , he deceived them, Genesis 3:13; 1 Timothy 2:14; which is the word used Romans 7:11. The phrase, without the law, sin was dead, means, that sin was then (before the law was given) comparatively dead, as to its power of condemning to death; and this sense the antithesis requires; without the law, ἁμαρτια νεκρα, εγω δε εζων , sin was dead, but I was living; but when the commandment came, (i.e. the law), sin revived, and I died. How were men living before the law, but because then no law condemned them? Sin, therefore, must be then dead, as to its condemning power. How did they die when the law came but by the law condemning them to death? Sin therefore revived, then, as to its power of condemning, which it received first from the sin of Adam, which brought death into the world; and next, from the law of Moses, which entered that the offense might abound, and reign more unto death, Romans 5:20, Romans 5:21. For though sin was in the world from Adam to Moses, or until the law was given, yet it was not imputed unto death, when there was no law that did threaten death; so that death reigned from that interval by virtue of Adam's sin alone; even over them who had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, i.e. against a positive law, forbidding it under the penalty of death; which law being delivered by Moses, sin revived; i.e. it had again its force to condemn men as before to death, by virtue of a law which threatened death. And in this sense the apostle seems to say, Galatians 3:19, the law was added because of transgressions, to convince us of the wrath and punishment due to them; and that the law, therefore, worketh wrath, because where no law is there is no transgression, Romans 4:15, subjecting us to wrath; or no such sense of the Divine wrath as where a plain Divine law, threatening death and condemnation, is violated." See Whitby, in loco.
Verse 10
And the commandment - Meaning the law in general, which was ordained to life; the rule of righteousness teaching those statutes which if a man do he shall live in them, Leviticus 18:5, I found, by transgressing it, to be unto death; for it only presented the duty and laid down the penalty, without affording any strength to resist sin or subdue evil propensities.
Verse 11
Sin, taking occasion - Sin, deriving strength from the law, threatening death to the transgressor, (see Clarke's note on Romans 7:8), deceived me, drew me aside to disobedience, promising me gratification honor, independence, etc., as it promised to Eve; for to her history the apostle evidently alludes, and uses the very same expression, deceived me, εξηπατησε με· See the preceding note; and see the Septuagint, Genesis 3:13.
And by it slew me - Subjected me to that death which the law denounced against transgressors; and rendered me miserable during the course of life itself. It is well known to scholars that the verb αποκτεινειν signifies not only to slay or kill, but also to make wretched. Every sinner is not only exposed to death because he has sinned, and must, sooner or later, die; but he is miserable in both body and mind by the influence and the effects of sin. He lives a dying life, or a living death.
Verse 12
Wherefore the law is holy - As if he had said, to soothe his countrymen, to whom he had been showing the absolute insufficiency of the law either to justify or save from sin: I do not intimate that there is any thing improper or imperfect in the law as a rule of life: it prescribes what is holy, just, and good; for it comes from a holy, just, and good God. The Law, which is to regulate the whole of the outward conduct, is holy; and the Commandment, Thou shalt not covet, which is to regulate the heart, is not less so. All is excellent and pure; but it neither pardons sin nor purifies the heart; and it is because it is holy, just, and good, that it condemns transgressors to death.
Verse 13
Was then that which is good made death unto me? - This is the question of the Jew, with whom the apostle appears to be disputing.
Verse 14
For, we know that the law is spiritual - This is a general proposition, and probably, in the apostle's autograph, concluded the above sentence. The law is not to be considered as a system of external rites and ceremonies; nor even as a rule of moral action: it is a spiritual system; it reaches to the most hidden purposes, thoughts, dispositions, and desires of the heart and soul; and it reproves and condemns every thing, without hope of reprieve or pardon, that is contrary to eternal truth and rectitude.
But I am carnal, sold under sin - This was probably, in the apostle's letter, the beginning of a new paragraph. I believe it is agreed, on all hands, that the apostle is here demonstrating the insufficiency of the law in opposition to the Gospel. That by the former is the knowledge, by the latter the cure, of sin. Therefore by I here he cannot mean himself, nor any Christian believer: if the contrary could be proved, the argument of the apostle would go to demonstrate the insufficiency of the Gospel as well as the law.
I am carnal, sold under sin - I have been the more particular in ascertaining the genuine sense of this verse, because it determines the general scope of the whole passage.
Verse 15
For, that which I do, I allow not, etc. - The first clause of this verse is a general assertion concerning the employment of the person in question in the state which the apostle calls carnal, and sold under sin. The Greek word κατεργαξομαι which is here translated I do, means a work which the agent continues to perform till it is finished, and is used by the apostle, Philemon 2:12, to denote the continued employment of God's saints in his service to the end of their lives. Work Out your own salvation; the word here denotes an employment of a different kind; and therefore the man who now feels the galling dominion of sin says, What I am continually labouring at I allow not, ου γινωσκω , I do not acknowledge to be right, just, holy, or profitable.
But what I hate, that do I - I am a slave, and under the absolute control of my tyrannical master: I hate his service, but am obliged to work his will. Who, without blaspheming, can assert that the apostle is speaking this of a man in whom the Spirit of the Lord dwells? From Romans 7:7 to this one the apostle, says Dr. Taylor, denotes the Jew in the flesh by a single I; here, he divides that I into two I's, or figurative persons; representing two different and opposite principles which were in him. The one I, or principle, assents to the law that it is good, and wills and chooses what the other does not practice, Romans 7:16. This principle he expressly tells us, Romans 7:22, is the inward man; the law of the mind, Romans 7:23; the mind, or rational faculty, Romans 7:25; for he could find no other inward man, or law of the mind, but the rational faculty, in a person who was carnal and sold under sin. The other I, or principle, transgresses the law, Romans 7:23, and does those things which the former principle allows not. This principle he expressly tells us, Romans 7:18, is the flesh, the law in the members, or sensual appetite, Romans 7:23; and he concludes in the last verse, that these two principles were opposite to each other; therefore it is evident that those two principles, residing and counteracting each other in the same person; are reason and lust, or sin that dwells in us. And it is very easy to distinguish these two I's, or principles, in every part of this elegant description of iniquity, domineering over the light and remonstrances of reason. For instance, Romans 7:17: Now then, it is no more I that do it, but Sin that dwelleth in me. The I he speaks of here is opposed to indwelling or governing sin; and therefore plainly denotes the principle of reason, the inward man, or law of the mind; in which, I add, a measure of the light of the Spirit of God shines, in order to show the sinfulness of sin. These two different principles he calls, one flesh, and the other spirit, Galatians 5:17; where he speaks of their contrariety in the same manner that he does here.
For, truly, he who sins does not will sin, but wishes to walk uprightly: yet it is manifest that what he wills he doth not; and what he wills not he doth.
Thus we find that enlightened heathens, both among the Greeks and Romans, had that same kind of religious experience which some suppose to be, not only the experience of St. Paul in his best state, but to be even the standard of Christian attainments! See more examples in Wetstein.
Verse 16
If then I do that which I would not, etc. - Knowing that the law condemns it, and that therefore it must be evil. I consent unto the law; I show by this circumstance that I acknowledge the law to be good.
Verse 17
Now then it is no more I - It is not that I which constitutes reason and conscience, but sin-corrupt and sensual inclinations, that dwelleth in me - that has the entire domination over my reason, darkening my understanding, and perverting my judgment; for which there is condemnation in the law, but no cure. So we find here that there is a principle in the unregenerate man stronger than reason itself; a principle which is, properly speaking, not of the essence of the soul, but acts in it, as its lord, or as a tyrant. This is inbred and indwelling sin - the seed of the serpent; by which the whole soul is darkened, confused, perverted, and excited to rebellion against God.
Verse 18
For I know that in me, etc. - I have learned by experience that in an unregenerate man there is no good. There is no principle by which the soul can be brought into the light; no principle by which it can be restored to purity: fleshly appetites alone prevail; and the brute runs away with the man.
For to will is present with me - Though the whole soul has suffered indescribably by the Fall, yet there are some faculties that appear to have suffered less than others; or rather have received larger measures of the supernatural light, because their concurrence with the Divine principle is so necessary to the salvation of the soul. Even the most unconcerned about spiritual things have understanding, judgment, reason, and will. And by means of these we have seen even scoffers at Divine revelation become very eminent in arts and sciences; some of our best metaphysicians, physicians, mathematicians, astronomers, chemists, etc., have been known - to their reproach be it spoken and published - to be without religion; nay, some of them have blasphemed it, by leaving God out of his own work, and ascribing to an idol of their own, whom they call nature, the operations of the wisdom, power, and goodness of the Most High. It is true that many of the most eminent in all the above branches of knowledge have been conscientious believers in Divine revelation; but the case of the others proves that, fallen as man is, he yet possesses extra-ordinary powers, which are capable of very high cultivation and improvement. In short, the soul seems capable of any thing but knowing, fearing, loving, and serving God. And it is not only incapable, of itself, for any truly religious acts; but what shows its fall in the most indisputable manner is its enmity to sacred things. Let an unregenerate man pretend what he pleases, his conscience knows that he hates religion; his soul revolts against it; his carnal mind is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be. There is no reducing this fell principle to subjection; it is Sin, and sin is rebellion against God; therefore sin must be destroyed, not subjected; if subjected, it would cease to be sin, because sin is in opposition to God: hence the apostle says, most conclusively, it cannot be subjected, i.e. it must be destroyed, or it will destroy the soul for ever. When the apostle says, to will is present with me, he shows that the will is on the side of God and truth, so far that it consents to the propriety and necessity of obedience. There has been a strange clamor raised up against this faculty of the soul, as if the very essence of evil dwelt in it; whereas the apostle shows, throughout this chapter, that the will was regularly on God's side, while every other faculty appears to have been in hostility to him. The truth is, men have confounded the will with the passions, and laid to the charge of the former what properly belongs to the latter. The will is right, but the passions are wrong. It discerns and approves, but is without ability to perform: it has no power over sensual appetites; in these the principle of rebellion dwells: it nills evil, it wills good, but can only command through the power of Divine grace: but this the person in question, the unregenerate man, has not received.
Verse 19
For the good that I would I do not - Here again is the most decisive proof that the will is on the side of God and truth.
But the evil which I would not - And here is equally decisive proof that the will is against, or opposed to evil. There is not a man in ten millions, who will carefully watch the operations of this faculty, that will find it opposed to good and obstinately attached to evil, as is generally supposed. Nay, it is found almost uniformly on God's side, while the whole sensual system is against him. - It is not the Will that leads men astray; but the corrupt Passions which oppose and oppress the will. It is truly astonishing into what endless mistakes men have fallen on this point, and what systems of divinity have been built on these mistakes. The will, this almost only friend to God in the human soul, has been slandered as God's worst enemy, and even by those who had the seventh chapter to the Romans before their eyes! Nay, it has been considered so fell a foe to God and goodness that it is bound in the adamantine chains of a dire necessity to do evil only; and the doctrine of will (absurdly called free will, as if will did not essentially imply what is free) has been considered one of the most destructive heresies. Let such persons put themselves to school to their Bibles and to common sense.
1.It is through the grace, the unmerited kindness, of God, that the soul has such a faculty, and that it has not been extinguished by sin.
2.This will, though a free principle, as it respects its nilling of evil and choosing good, yet, properly speaking, has no power by which it can subjugate the evil or perform the good.
We know that the eye has a power to discern objects, but without light this power is perfectly useless, and no object can be discerned by it. So, of the person represented here by the apostle, it is said, To will is present with me, το γαρ θελειν παρακειται μοι . To will is ever in readiness, it is ever at hand, it lies constantly before me; but how to perform that which is good, I find not; that is, the man is unregenerate, and he is seeking justification and holiness from the law. The law was never designed to give these - it gives the knowledge, not the cure of sin; therefore, though he nills evil and wills good, yet he can neither conquer the one nor perform the other till he receives the grace of Christ, till he seeks and finds redemption in his blood.
Verse 20
It is no more I - My will is against it; my reason and conscience condemn it. But sin that dwelleth in me - the principle of sin, which has possessed itself of all my carnal appetites and passions, and thus subjects my reason and domineers over my soul. Thus I am in perpetual contradiction to myself. Two principles are continually contending in me for the mastery: my reason, on which the light of God shines, to show what is evil; and my passions, in which the principle of sin works, to bring forth fruit unto death.
Verse 21
I find then a law - I am in such a condition and state of soul, under the power of such habits and sinful propensities, that when I would do good - when my will and reason are strongly bent on obedience to the law of God and opposition to the principle of sin, evil is present with me, κακον παρακειται , evil is at hand, it lies constantly before me. That, as the will to do good is constantly at hand, Romans 7:18, so the principle of rebellion exciting me to sin is equally present; but, as the one is only will, wish, and desire, without power to do what is willed, to obtain what is wished, or to perform what is desired, sin continually prevails.
Verse 22
I delight in the law of God after the inward man - Every Jew, and every unregenerate man, who receives the Old Testament as a revelation from God, must acknowledge the great purity, excellence and utility of its maxims, etc., though he will ever find that without the grace of our Lord Jesus he can never act according to those heavenly maxims; and without the mercy of God, can never be redeemed from the curse entailed upon him for his past transgressions. To say that the inward man means the regenerate part of the soul, is supportable by no argument. Ὁ εσω ανθρωπος , and ὁ εντος ανθρωπος , especially the latter, are expressions frequently in use among the purest Greek ethic writers, to signify the soul or rational part of man, in opposition to the body of flesh. See the quotations in Wetstein from Plato and Plotinus. The Jews have the same form of expression; so in Yalcut Rubeni, fol. 10, 3, it is said: The flesh is the inward garment of the man; but the Spirit is the Inward man, the garment of which is the body; and St. Paul uses the phrase in precisely the same sense in 2 Corinthians 4:16, and Ephesians 3:16. If it be said that it is impossible for an unregenerate man to delight in the law of God, the experience of millions contradicts the assertion. Every true penitent admires the moral law, longs most earnestly for a conformity to it, and feels that he can never be satisfied till he awakes up after this Divine likeness; and he hates himself, because he feels that he has broken it, and that his evil passions are still in a state of hostility to it.
Verse 23
But I see another law in my members - Though the person in question is less or more under the continual influence of reason and conscience, which offer constant testimony against sin, yet as long as help is sought only from the law, and the grace of Christ in the Gospel is not received, the remonstrances of reason and conscience are rendered of no effect by the prevalence of sinful passions; which, from repeated gratifications, have acquired all the force of habit, and now give law to the whole carnal man.
Warring against the law of my mind - There is an allusion here to the case of a city besieged, at last taken by storm, and the inhabitants carried away into captivity; αντιστρατευομενον , carrying on a system of warfare; laying continual siege to the soul; repeating incessantly its attacks; harassing, battering, and storming the spirit; and, by all these assaults, reducing the man to extreme misery. Never was a picture more impressively drawn and more effectually finished; for the next sentence shows that this spiritual city was at last taken by storm, and the inhabitants who survived the sackage led into the most shameful, painful, and oppressive captivity.
Bringing me into captivity to the law of sin - He does not here speak of an occasional advantage gained by sin, it was a complete and final victory gained by corruption; which, having stormed and reduced the city, carried away the inhabitants with irresistible force, into captivity. This is the consequence of being overcome; he was now in the hands of the foe as the victor's lawful captive; and this is the import of the original word, αιχμαλωτιζοντα , and is the very term used by our Lord when speaking of the final ruin, dispersion, and captivity of the Jews. He says, αιχμαλωτισθησονται , they shall be led away captives into all the nations, Luke 21:24. When all this is considered, who, in his right mind, can apply it to the holy soul of the apostle of the Gentiles? Is there any thing in it that can belong to his gracious state? Surely nothing. The basest slave of sin, who has any remaining checks of conscience, cannot be brought into a worse state than that described here by the apostle. Sin and corruption have a final triumph; and conscience and reason are taken prisoners, laid in fetters, and sold for slaves. Can this ever be said of a man in whom the Spirit of God dwells, and whom the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made free from the law of sin and death? See Romans 8:2.
Verse 24
O wretched man that I am, etc. - This affecting account is finished more impressively by the groans of the wounded captive. Having long maintained a useless conflict against innumerable hosts and irresistible might, he is at last wounded and taken prisoner; and to render his state more miserable, is not only encompassed by the slaughtered, but chained to a dead body; for there seems to be here an allusion to an ancient custom of certain tyrants, who bound a dead body to a living man, and obliged him to carry it about, till the contagion from the putrid mass took away his life! Virgil paints this in all its horrors, in the account he gives of the tyrant Mezentius. Aeneid, lib. viii. ver. 485.
Servius remarks, in his comment on this passage, that sanies, mortui est; tabo, viventis scilicet sanguis: "the sanies, or putrid ichor, from the dead body, produced the tabes in the blood of the living." Roasting, burning, racking, crucifying, etc., were nothing when compared to this diabolically invented punishment.
Verse 25
I thank God through Jesus Christ - Instead of ευχαριστω τῳ Θεῳ , I thank God, several excellent MSS., with the Vulgate, some copies of the Itala, and several of the fathers, read ἡ χαρις του Θεου , or του Κυριου , the grace of God, or the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ; this is an answer to the almost despairing question in the preceding verse. The whole, therefore, may be read thus: O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this death? Answer - The grace of God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Thus we find that a case of the kind described by the apostle in the preceding verses, whether it were his own, before he was brought to the knowledge of Christ, particularly during the three days that he was at Damascus, without being able to eat or drink, in deep penitential sorrow; or whether he personates a pharisaic yet conscientious Jew, deeply concerned for his salvation: I say, we find that such a case can be relieved by the Gospel of Christ only; or, in other words, that no scheme of redemption can be effectual to the salvation of any soul, whether Jew or Gentile, but that laid down in the Gospel of Christ.
So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God - That this clause contains the inference from the preceding train of argumentation appears evident, from the αρα ουν , therefore, with which the apostle introduces it. As if he had said: "To conclude, the sum of what I have advanced, concerning the power of sin in the carnal man, and the utter insufficiency of all human means and legal observances to pardon sin and expel the corruption of the heart, is this: that the very same person, the αυτος εγω , the same I, while without the Gospel, under the killing power of the law, will find in himself two opposite principles, the one subscribing to and approving the law of God; and the other, notwithstanding, bringing him into captivity to sin: his inward man - his rational powers and conscience, will assent to the justice and propriety of the requisitions of the law; and yet, notwithstanding this, his fleshly appetites - the law in his members, will war against the law of his mind, and continue, till he receives the Gospel of Christ, to keep him in the galling captivity of sin and death."
1.The strong expressions in this clause have led many to conclude that the apostle himself, in his regenerated state, is indisputably the person intended. That all that is said in this chapter of the carnal man, sold under sin, did apply to Saul of Tarsus, no man can doubt: that what is here said can ever be with propriety applied to Paul the Apostle, who can believe? Of the former, all is natural; of the latter, all here said would be monstrous and absurd, if not blasphemous.
2.But it is supposed that the words must be understood as implying a regenerate man, because the apostle says, Romans 7:22, I delight in the law of God; and in this verse, I myself with the mind serve the law of God. These things, say the objectors, cannot be spoken of a wicked Jew, but of a regenerate man such as the apostle then was. But when we find that the former verse speaks of a man who is brought into captivity to the law of sin and death, surely there is no part of the regenerate state of the apostle to which the words can possibly apply. Had he been in captivity to the law of sin and death, after his conversion to Christianity, what did he gain by that conversion? Nothing for his personal holiness. He had found no salvation under an inefficient law; and he was left in thraldom under an equally inefficient Gospel. The very genius of Christianity demonstrates that nothing like this can, with any propriety, be spoken of a genuine Christian.
4.It must be allowed that, whatever was the experience of so eminent a man, Christian, and apostle, as St. Paul, it must be a very proper standard of Christianity. And if we are to take what is here said as his experience as a Christian, it would be presumption in us to expect to go higher; for he certainly had pushed the principles of his religion to their utmost consequences. But his whole life, and the account which he immediately gives of himself in the succeeding chapter, prove that he, as a Christian and an apostle, had a widely different experience; an experience which amply justifies that superiority which he attributes to the Christian religion over the Jewish; and demonstrates that it not only is well calculated to perfect all preceding dispensations, but that it affords salvation to the uttermost to all those who flee for refuge to the hope that it sets before them. Besides, there is nothing spoken here of the state of a conscientious Jew, or of St. Paul in his Jewish state, that is not true of every genuine penitent; even before, and it may be, long before, he has believed in Christ to the saving of his soul. The assertion that "every Christian, howsoever advanced in the Divine life, will and must feel all this inward conflict," etc., is as untrue as it is dangerous. That many, called Christians, and probably sincere, do feel all this, may be readily granted; and such we must consider to be in the same state with Saul of Tarsus, previously to his conversion; but that they must continue thus is no where intimated in the Gospel of Christ. We must take heed how we make our experience, which is the result of our unbelief and unfaithfulness, the standard for the people of God, and lower down Christianity to our most reprehensible and dwarfish state: at the same time, we should not be discouraged at what we thus feel, but apply to God, through Christ, as Paul did; and then we shall soon be able, with him, to declare, to the eternal glory of God's grace, that the law of the Spirit of life, in Christ Jesus, has made us free from the law of sin and death. This is the inheritance of God's children; and their salvation is of me, saith the Lord.
I cannot conclude these observations without recommending to the notice of my readers a learned and excellent discourse on the latter part of this chapter, preached by the Rev. James Smith, minister of the Gospel in Dumfermline, Scotland; a work to which I am indebted for some useful observations, and from which I should have been glad to have copied much, had my limits permitted. Reader, do not plead for Baal; try, fully try, the efficiency of the blood of the covenant; and be not content with less salvation than God has provided for thee. Thou art not straitened in God, be not straitened in thy own bowels.

By Matthew Birt -
23 April 2013 14:43
Valentino Rossi indulged in his passion for four-wheeled motorsport in America yesterday when the Italian tested Kyle Busch's NASCAR Toyota Camry at the Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Fresh from a disappointing sixth place in the inaugural Circuit of the Americas MotoGP race in Texas, Rossi got behind the wheel of the 650bhp NASCAR to put in a series of fast laps around the iconic oval.
Rossi, who has tested Ferrari's F1 car and competed in world rally events, said: "It was so cool to understand the feeling. I have a lot of friends from Europe and Italy who follow NASCAR.
It looks like it's a completely different type of racing than what we do in Europe and I expected something more like this – exciting, high speed and a great feeling in the corner. In the bank you have a lot of grip, so you are glued on the racetrack. It was great, I enjoyed it a lot. I love driving the race car, and I always have, so it was exciting to drive a NASCAR.
At the beginning it was a bit strange because it's difficult to go straight. But after some laps, I had a lot of confidence and I was able to go faster and faster and faster. I must say I got along very well with Kyle. He's a good guy. I like him and he gave me a lot of important advice."
Busch, who has won 55 NASCAR races, said he was impressed with Rossi's stint at the wheel of his Toyota Camry.
He said: "I thought he did pretty good. He started out a little slow, which is fine, but every lap he picked it up a lot. He got to where he was running some competitive lap speeds – times that would put him in the top 15 in Nationwide Series practice. That's pretty good for a guy in his first start, who is just coming over and getting used to things and someone that is used to driving on two wheels."

I love your rationale Wosi
So you've had us believe in your many rants on the subject, that back in 2007, Bridgestone tyres gave a significant advantage to one rider over other riders using different tyres and were largely responsible for him winning a championship
Now you maintain that there is little difference between an F1 car using slick tyres and an F1 car using grooved tyres (we'll leave the smaller less powerfull engine and less downforce out of it)
Next I guess you'll be telling us that you could fit an M1 with a Goldwing fairing, a set of Pirelli Corsas and still put it on the front row in qualifying

"I don't like the disrespectful way it always gets reported and on that test, they said he embarassed the F1 regulars which is total bollocks. The inference is always there, with a bit of practise he'd be F1 champ as well. They report it out of all perspective."

Spoils my Day..??
Behave Wosi
As I said earlier, Rossi is no idiot in a car and turned in respectable times, why you think that upsets me says more about your psyche than mine.
I don't like the disrespectful way it always gets reported and on that test, they said he embarassed the F1 regulars which is total bollocks. The inference is always there, with a bit of practise he'd be F1 champ as well. They report it out of all perspective. When someone points that out his fanboys like you start crying foul and snivelling into their hankies
The cars weren't a little different, they were very different, as were the tyres. It doesn't detract from his performance but neither should it be allowed to be reported out of context.
Talking of context, you dismiss Vroom and laud the mickey mouse autotest that's labelled Rally Monza. Fits the Rossi fanboy profile nicely.

Drillspot provided the best price for this item on the net. Their delivery was ahead of schedule and the items arrived in perfect order. I would definitely use Drillspot again and would recommend them to anyone looking for a professionally run company with competitive prices.
Have no hesitations on ordering from this seller. The fan was actually broken when I received it, not due to their fault, and the customer service was awesome!! Immediately refunded my money. No hassles. This is the kind of company I love to do business with. Thank you!!
Ordered a Weber Smoky Mountain Smoker on Monday and received it Friday in Ohio. Just wanted to say thanks on the great price and great delivery. Best price on this item anywhere.

Launch Services DB lost after Time Machine Restore
I also found myself in that "first time launch" situation when doing a normal re-start after having done a Safe Boot (Shift down on start). Not a "biggie", but I hadn't expected the Launch Services Database to have been affected by having done a Safe Boot->Safe Mode as I hadn't seen any mention of that Database being affected in the Apple Support Article HT1564 (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US).

Asian Chicken Noodle Bowl
- Yield 8 servings
- Broth base:
- 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast
- 4 -- (14.5 ounce) cans low sodium chicken broth
- 3 cups water
- 1 medium white onion, peeled and chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup fish sauce
- 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger, peeled
- 1/2 -- inch Thai lump sugar (or 1 tablespoon coarse sugar)
- 2 teaspoons coriander seed
- 3 whole star anise
- 5 whole cloves
- 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Accompaniments:
- 8 ounces dry thin Thai rice noodles
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, coarsely chopped
- 1 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 4 -- jalapenos, sliced thin
- 1/2 cup chopped scallions
- 1 medium white onion, peeled, halved and sliced very thin
- 2 -- limes, quartered
- 2 cups bean sprouts
- 1/2 cup chopped peanuts
- 1/2 cup prepared Thai spicy peanut sauce or Peanut Satay sauce
- 1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup sriracha sauce (or spicy Thai chili sauce)
- 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
Add all "Broth base" ingredients in an 8-quart stock pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through. Remove chicken from the broth and transfer to a medium bowl to cool slightly, and then slice into very thin strips and place on a large serving platter. Continue to simmer broth an additional 30 minutes and then strain through a colander or sieve, returning the broth to the pot and discarding the spices and vegetables strained off. Keep broth warm over low heat until ready to serve.
While the broth is cooking, prepare the "accompaniments". To make the rice noodles, fill a 2-quart saucepan 2/3 full of water and bring to a boil. Add the rice noodles to the pan, cover and turn off the heat. Allow to set 3 to 5 minutes, or until soft, but not mushy. Drain in a colander, transfer to a medium serving bowl and cover with plastic wrap until ready to serve.
Pile the basil, mint, and cilantro on the serving platter alongside the chicken. Add the jalapenos, scallions, onions, lime quarters, bean sprouts and peanuts to the serving platter. Pour the peanut sauce, soy sauce, sriracha sauce and hoisin sauce in small individual bowls or ramekins.
To serve, add desired amount of broth, chicken, noodles and other accompaniments, to-taste, in large, deep bowls. Add more broth for a traditional pho-style soup, or less broth and more noodles for a noodle bowl experience.
Serves 8

I was moved by the picture ("Caring enough to share hair" June 6) of Emma Kee shedding a single tear as her hair was cut to donate to make wigs for women who had lost their own hair from cancer treatment. It was with apprehension that my sister and I accompanied our younger sister as she had her head shaved and fitted for a wig last summer, anticipating the loss of her hair as she began the long road of chemotherapy to rid her body of endometrial cancer. Our relief was immediate when we saw the many attractive and realistic-looking wigs made from human hair. With a little snipping and shaping, my sister left with a wig so authentic to her own beautiful blond style and color that our mother thought she had canceled the appointment. I want Emma and the other girls who gave up their locks that day to know that selfless, generous acts like theirs made what could have been a demoralizing experience, one of hope and dignity.

Black in White Plains: The Police Killing of Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr.
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
"My name is Kenneth Chamberlain. This is my sworn testimony. White Plains police are going to come in here and kill me." And that's just what they did.
Forget Fear of Flying, Fear Airport Screening
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
Just getting to your airplane these days may present a greater risk to your health than the actual flight.
Walking While Black: The Killing of Trayvon Martin
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
On the rainy night of Sunday, Feb. 26, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin walked to a convenience store in Sanford, Fla. On his way home, with his Skittles and iced tea, the African-American teenager was shot and killed.
"Terror, Trauma, and the Endless Afghan War." By Amy Goodman
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
We may never know what drove a U.S. Army staff sergeant to head out into the Afghan night and allegedly murder at least 16 civilians in their homes, among them nine children and three women. The attack has been called tragic, which it surely is. But when Afghans attack U.S. forces, they are called "terrorists." That is, perhaps, the inconsistency at the core of U.S. policy, that democracy can be delivered through the barrel of a gun, that terrorism can be fought by terrorizing a nation.
"The Bipartisan Nuclear Bailout."
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
Super Tuesday demonstrated the rancor rife in Republican ranks, as the four remaining major candidates slug it out to see how far to the right of President Barack Obama they can go. While attacking him for the high cost of gasoline, both sides are traveling down the same perilous road in their support of nuclear power.
"Wikileaks vs. Stratfor: Pursue The Truth, Not Its Messenger." By Amy Goodman
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
WikiLeaks, the whistle-blower website, has again published a massive trove of documents, this time from a private intelligence firm known as Stratfor. Among the emails was a short one-liner that suggested the U.S. government has produced, through a secret grand jury, a sealed indictment against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
"New Obama Campaign Co-Chair: 'The President Is Wrong'." By Amy Goodman
Russ Feingold writes: "The President is wrong to embrace the corrupt corporate politics of Citizens United through the use of Super PACs." As the Obama campaign "dances with the devil" according to Feingold, perhaps as the President's new election co-chair, he will help us follow the money.
"The Afghan War's Nine Lives" By Amy Goodman
Eight youths, tending their flock of sheep in the snowy fields of Afghanistan, were exterminated last week by a NATO airstrike.
"America's Pro-Choice Majority Speaks Out." By Amy Goodman
In the wake of the successful pushback against the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure's decision to defund Planned Parenthood, the Obama administration should listen to the majority of Americans: The United States, including Catholics, is strongly pro-choice.
Amy Goodman Appears on MSNBC's "Up w/ Chris Hayes"
Democracy Now! Host Amy Goodman joined a panel of journalists, analysts and academics on MSNBC's "Up w/ Chris Hayes" to discuss topics of the day, ranging from the Susan G. Komen Foundation's Planned Parenthood reversal to the Republican Primaries.
"Romney's 1 Percent Nation Under God." By Amy Goodman
After winning big in Florida, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney told CNN's Soledad O'Brien who he wants to represent. "You could choose where to focus, you could focus on the rich, that's not my focus. You could focus on the very poor, that's not my focus. My focus is on middle-income Americans." Of the very rich, Romney assures us, "They're doing just fine." With an estimated personal wealth of $250 million, Romney should know.
"Obama's Late Payment to Mortgage-Fraud Victims." By Amy Goodman
Does Obama's formation of the new task force aimed at investigating the shoddy mortgage-lending practices that contributed to the financial crisis signify a move to more progressive policies, as MoveOn suggests?
"The SOPA Blackout Protest Makes History." By Amy Goodman
An unprecedented wave of online opposition to the SOPA and PIPA bills before Congress shows the power of a free internet. Today marked the largest online protest in the history of the internet. Websites from large to small "went dark" in protest of proposed legislation before the US House and Senate that could profoundly change the internet.
"Guantanamo at 10: The Prisoner and the Prosecutor." By Amy Goodman
Ten years ago, Omar Deghayes and Morris Davis would have struck anyone as an odd pair. While they have never met, they now share a profound connection, cemented through their time at the notorious U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
"Republicans Divided, Citizens United." By Amy Goodman
The Republican caucuses in Iowa show the 2012 presidential election promises to be long, contentious, extremely expensive and perhaps more negative than any in history.
"If You Can't Beat Them, Enjoin Them (From Voting)." By Amy Goodman
All eyes are on Iowa this week, as the hodgepodge field of Republican contenders seek a win, or at least "momentum," in the campaign for the party's presidential nomination. But behind the scenes, a battle is being waged by Republicans—not against each other, but against American voters.
"Bradley Manning and the Fog of War." By Amy Goodman
Accused whistle-blower Pvt. Bradley Manning turned 24 Saturday. He spent his birthday in a pretrial military hearing that could ultimately lead to a sentence of life … or death. Manning stands accused of causing the largest leak of government secrets in United States history.
"Climate Apartheid." By Amy Goodman
The U.N.'s 17th "Conference of Parties," or COP 17, negotiations were extended, virtually nonstop, through Sunday, in hopes of avoiding complete failure. But despite optimistic pronouncements to the contrary, many believe the Kyoto Protocol died in Durban.
"Listen to the People, Not the Polluters." By Amy Goodman
There is a growing consensus here at the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Durban, South Africa, that the United States is the main impediment to progress at these crucial talks. The fossil-fuel industry exerts enormous influence over the U.S. government, and over the U.S. public, with tens of millions of dollars on lobbying and PR campaigns to shape public opinion. Scientists and activists here and around the world are urging the negotiators to, "Listen to the People, Not the Polluters."

Breakfast Club Diner by Monica L.
This place feels like the classic American diner, albeit involved in an 80s explosion. The decor is cute and a nice throwback. I ordered the Frisco burger and had no complaints. If I had to say something bad about this place it'd be our server...she was just kind of standoffish and quick to rush us. However, the girl serving the table behind us seemed to actually be enthusiastic and welcoming, so...I guess it just depends!

Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
Super-rich guy in good humor…
Blog Guy, I know you sometimes indulge your readers' fantasies. I collect photographs of really rich people eating ice cream. It isn't a large collection, but I'm hoping you can help get me some good ones.
I can't resist a challenge, so I put our shooters on this one. I rejected a shot of Queen Elizabeth drinking a cherry Slurpee from 7-Eleven, on the grounds that it isn't really ice cream.
But here's the good news: a photo of billionaire Warren Buffett eating ice cream on a stick! We're also staking out a Baskin-Robbins near Bill Gates' house, in case he gets hungry. Is this a great blog, or what?
More about rich people
Billionaire financier and Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett eats ice cream during the annual Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, May 3, 2008. REUTERS/Carlos Barria
Sorry, you're not my type…
Hey Blog Guy, it's me!
Me! The guy who talks to you in italics so you can carry on pretend conversations in your blog everyday.
You really EXIST? I always thought those conversations were just voices in my head.
Lose weight the Christmas Party way!
It's time for more of our etiquette tips aimed at people who were raised by warthogs in the wild.
Our latest advice is on diet etiquette for the holidays. You know, getting through parties and dinners while keeping both your diet and your friendships intact.
Look, up in the sky, Joe!
"Jeez, Joe, what are you doing with those aviator shades? You think you're Tom Cruise, or what? Take those things off!"
"Put a sock in it, Mr. President. I look SO cool in these babies!"
"Good Lord, Joe. Look, I'm covering my face with a hanky, so folks can't see me laughing!"
Eugene, please have a seat…
Say, Blog Guy, I've been wondering about that guy who's sort of a living legend in your blog. You know who I mean.
Of course. You're talking about none other than Eugene "Toilethead" Johnson.
For dummies who read this blog…
Blog Guy, you run a fairly low-tech operation, right? I mean, there's nothing complicated about doing a humor blog.
You couldn't be more wrong. We do consumer testing, focus groups, FDA monitoring, all that stuff.
Folks, we may be in for a Trumpy landing
Blog Guy, we know you were pretty upset about Donald Trump not running for president, clearly a huge loss of humor potential for your blog. Are you getting over it?
I don't have to. My staff researcher found a loophole on page 466 of the book "The Bloggers' Code."
Big trouble when the chips are down?
Oh Dear Lord, tell me this isn't happening!
I just wanted to watch some tennis, so I called the boss on our busiest day of the year and said I was sick with projectile vomiting, impacted wisdom teeth, temporary insanity and a fever of 106…
Then I got to my seat, and who's right in front of me? The fricking PRIME MINISTER!
Cutest bear on earth visits my blog
Blog Guy, have you ever done anything as a blogger that you're really ashamed of?
Nothing that anybody can prove.
Okay, okay, I guess you've heard I hired Medo the Bear Cub to do cute stuff on my blog today. I mean, we're heading into the summer lull and I need the traffic.
I've decided not to be President Trump…
Blog Guy, what's wrong? You look like you've been sobbing.
Yeah, I have. I'm pretty broken up about Donald Trump not running for president.
But you weren't going to vote for him, anyway.
Yes, but I figured my blog was practically written in advance through 2012. It would have been so easy. I'll never find anybody like that again.

Great lightweight performance

Comments about Eagle Creek EC Adventure Hybrid 28:
I bought this to replace a suitcase that I had had for over 10 years. This one is much lighter, easy to handle, and more durable than I expected. It survived my international trip without being damaged. Carries plenty, and the construction is sound. Love it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Amazing bag!
By Andrea H
from Miami, FL
I am absolutely in love with the Hybird 28. Why? because it is lightweight(means a lot to me as I will be able to lift it), roomy, easy to pack, opens like a book, expandable, and easy to maneuver. It has its own luggage tag and add-a-bag strap. I am sure I will discover even more as I use it.
Providing smart, innovative and durable luggage, bags and accessories since 1975.

Bravo: This week's episode was all about accessories. Are you a big accessories person?
LB: I had to sort of school myself in accessories. My first Waterloo was shoes, when I was about 22. And I have never recovered. When it comes to hats and gloves and lots of trinket-y things, I'm not SO big on it, I wear like one ring (but a good ring). But a good bag and a good shoe can make the girl.
Bravo: Do you have any favorite pieces in your own collection?
LB: Yes, I have a Stefano Canturi art deco diamond ring that I really love. And my fearless leader Glenda Bailey gave me a gorgeous black Celine bag with a chain that I'll carry 'til I die (or I get mugged). For spring, I'm obsessed with the Fendi color-block wedges – like my life without them was nothing.
Bravo: What are some of the trends you're seeing for 2011?
LB: Color. Color. Color. Fashion looks like a big fruit bowl for spring, and I think it's a fun way to put a little color in your look — in your shoe, or a bag. You don't want to look like a rainbow with your clothes — if you're a jeans and tank-top girl, put on those Fendi shoes and you'll look great. Well, that's my plan, anyway.
Bravo: The designers were really great this week. What impressed you guys so much about the collections?
Laura Brown: I think a lot of them really hit their stride, and they used the challenge to facilitate more glamour. The accessories worked really well as an embellishment to their signature style. They were a little scared at the beginning, but they really rose to it and pushed themselves a little bit, I think.
