This is a module that is distributed with [tengine](http://tengine.taobao.org) which is a distribution of [Nginx](http://nginx.org) that is used by the e-commerce/auction site [Taobao.com](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taobao). This distribution contains some modules that are new on the Nginx scene. The `ngx_http_slice_module` module is one of them.
This module can be thought out as a *reverse byte-range* request header. It's main utility is to allow Nginx to slice a big file in small pieces (byte-ranges) while permitting to use on-the-fly gzip compression.
A typical example is for allowing someone to download a large video file while keeping the bandwith usage minimal. This might also be used as device for selling a video file by pieces where each link points to different zones of the file splitted by file ranges.
Other use would be to use a generic CSS file and use only part of it for each section of a site. Granted that byte-range slicing isn't the most intuitive for such.
Note also that using arguments is more **useful** than byte-ranges in the sense that they can be set in a normal link, while byte ranges require a special [HTTP header](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_serving).

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Picture Quality Value This is my first Plasma TV; coming from a Sony RPTV this has been an experience! I never felt my Sony lacked for picture quality, but the LG simply blows it away. My living room has a lot of windows and doorways, so glare is a real concern for me. This TV has a special non-glare screen that is the best I have seen for minimizing reflections. this TV has more features than I really need or want, but that comes with the territory with higher-end sets. This makes it more complicated than it could be and requires a learning curve, especially for the less technically-inclined members of the household. Pros: Picture Quality, non-glare screen Cons: Sound quality from built-in speakers is poor- but no worse than other thin flat panel TVs 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Triple XD Engine: The LG PM9700 series Plasma TV utilizes LG's exclusive Triple XD Engine video processing system for optimum picture quality. The Triple XD Engine delivers a dynamic contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1 for stunning colors and deep blacks, so the TV's images are crisp, rich, and vibrant. 600Hz Max Sub Field Driving: The television's 600Hz refresh rate virtually eliminates motion blur for an incredible viewing experience of fact action sports, movies, and video games. TruBlack Filter: The television's TruBlack Filter helps block glare while boosting images on the screen to improve picture quality and contrast ratio. TruBlack Filter technology reduces ambient light reflection, enabling superior black levels and improving contrast for a sharper and more detailed picture, even in a bright room. HDTV Tuner: The TV has built-in over-the-air HDTV (ATSC) and Digital Cable (QAM) tuners, so you don't need a separate set-top box to receive and decode over-the-air HDTV/SDTV or unencrypted Digital Cable signals. 1080p Video Resolution: The LG PM9700 series Plasma TV has a display resolution of 1920 x 1080. All of the television's video inputs are displayed at 1920 x 1080 (1080p); regardless of input signal. The LG Plasma HDTV features HDMI, Component, and Composite video inputs. HDMI (v1.4): The four HDMI v1.4 inputs can be used to connect a DVD player, Blu-ray player, or satellite/cable box with an HDMI output. The HDMI 2 input can also be used to connect a device with a DVI output (a DVI-to-HDMI adapter cable is necessary). If a DVI-equipped device is used, a separate audio cable will also be needed from the device to the "PC/DVI Audio In" 3.5mm stereo audio jack. No audio cables are needed for an HDMI-equipped device. The HDMI jacks will accept 1080p (60/24Hz), 1080i, 720p, and 480p video signals; as well as support Deep Color, x.v.Color, and 3D content. The television's HDMI inputs do not accept 480i video signals. Component Video: The two Component Video input swill accept 1080p (60Hz), 1080i, 720p, 480p, and 480i signals. Composite: The component video 2 input can also be used as a composite video input and will accept 480i only. THX 3D Certified Display: The TV's THX Certified 3D Display lets you watch movies that deliver the meticulous level of visual detail the director envisioned in the studio. THX (Thomlinson Holman's Experiment) is an audio and video certification standard established by George Lucas and Thomlinson. A THX Certified 3D display guarantees screen quality that exceeds the display standard specification in both hardware and software. The THX Certified 3D Display program adheres to the strictest engineering standards regarding color accuracy, luminance, black levels, and more. To earn certification, the LG TV passed rigorous laboratory testing covering more than 400 data points. The result is LG's THX Cinema and Right Room modes, which deliver an compromised cinematic experience at home. Active 3D TV: This Plasma TV can display 3D (three-dimensional) video when received from a 3D compatible device. 3D video contains two pictures for each video frame formatted for each eye. Therefore, special 3D glasses are required to view 3D video. The optional LG RF-based 3D glasses (689AGS350, sold separately) enable you to view 3D video and images on this 3D-ready Plasma television from a 3D-ready source; such as a Blu-ray player, Game system, or Satellite receiver. The wireless 3D glasses communicate seamlessly with the LG 3D-ready TV via it's built-in Bluetooth (2.4GHz) emitter. The result is a beautiful, full HD 1080p three-dimensional experience that brings you closer to the action from the comfort of your home. The LG Plasma TV offers several 3D modes to match various 3D content.

To experience LG's 3D technology on this Plasma TV, you will need LG's 3D Active Shutter Glasses (AG-S350), an HDMI (ver.1.4) connected 3D source (such as a Blu-ray player or Satellite receiver), and 3D content. 2D-to-3D: 2D images can be transformed to 3D images. If you are watching a 2D digital broadcast (720p/1080i), the television can transform those two-dimensional images to virtual 3D images. You can manually adjust the 3D depth effect. Note: Analog TV and 480i/480p 2D images cannot be viewed in 3D (three-dimensional) mode. Picture Size (Aspect Ratio): You can select a different aspect ratio depending on input source (analog broadcasting, digital broadcasting, video input). 16:9: Resizes the image ratio to fit 16:9 screen. Just Scan: Displays high-quality image without loss. Only available in DTV, HDMI, or Component (over 720p) mode). Set by Program: Depending on the input signal, screen aspect ratio changes to 4:3 or 16:9. 4:3: Resizes the image ratio to fit 4:3 screen. Zoom: Resizes the image to fit the screen width. The top and bottom parts of the image may be cut off. Cinema Zoom: Formats an image to the cinemascope ratio (2.35:1) and zooms in on the ratio. Picture Wizard II (Picture Control): This feature lets you adjust the picture quality of the original image. The LG PM9700 series TV's Picture Wizard II (Easy Picture Calibration) offers self-calibration with on-screen reference points for key picture quality elements such as black level, color, tint, sharpness and backlight levels. This feature takes the guesswork out of picture adjustments. Picture Modes: The LG Plasma TV provides auto, preset, and manual adjustment of the television's picture settings. Intelligent Sensor: Let the TV do the adjustments for you. Intelligent Sensor automatically optimizes the picture to the lighting and color conditions in the room for a more enjoyable viewing experience. The LG Plasma TV's Intelligent Sensor automatically optimizes the picture to the lighting and color conditions in the room for a more enjoyable viewing experience. Unlike other sensors which can only sense brightness of ambient light, LG's "Intelligent Sensor" uses 4,096 sensing steps to evaluate its surroundings. Using a sophisticated algorithm, the LG processes picture quality elements including brightness, contrast, color, sharpness and white balance. The result is a picture optimized for its surroundings, more pleasing to watch and which can also save up to 50% in power consumption. Presets: Easy to use factory presets for picture mode settings include APS (maximizes video images while reducing power consumption, without hurting picture quality), THX (offers THX-certified quality movie experience), Standard (provides optimum viewing for general use), Vivid (maximizes the effect of the video by strengthening the contrast/brightness/color/sharpness), Cinema (optimizes video for watching moview), Game (provides fast response speed for fast gaming system), and Photo (original/mono/vintage/oil painting/vignetting/sketching). User Adjustment: This mode allows you to adjust the video quality settings manually. Contrast (increase or decrease the gradient of the video signal), Brightness (adjusts the base level of the signal in the picture), Sharpness (adjusts the level of crispness in the edges between the light and dark areas of the picture), Color (adjusts intensity of all colors), Tint (adjusts the balance between red and green levels), Color Temp (set to warm to enhance hotter colors such as red, or set to cool to enhance cooler colors such as blue). Expert Mode: The LG Plasma TV is ISFccc Ready and contains the detailed standards necessary for professional calibration of brightness, contrast, tint, sharpness, color levels and much more to meet local lighting conditions for both day and nighttime viewing. Settings are added to preset Expert 1/2 modes for easy access from your LG remote. Picture Improvement Technology (Advanced Control): Advanced Control allows you to adjust some of the advanced video features of the LG Plasma TV. Dynamic Contrast: Adjusts the contrast to keep it at the best level according to the brightness of the screen. The picture is improved by making bright parts brighter and dark parts darker. Preferred Color: Set the Skin, Grass, and Sky color independently. Super Resolution: Provides a crystal-clear picture by impr0ving the details in an area that has a blurry or unclear picture. Gamma: You can adjust the brightness of dark areas and middle gray level areas of the picture. Color Gamut: Maximizes the utilization of colors to increase color quality. Edge Enhancer: Shows clearer and distinctive, yet natural edges of the video. xvYCC: This feature produces richer colors from x.v.YCC compatible sources. Color Filter: This function filters specific colors in the video. You can use the RGB filter to set color saturation and hue accurately. Expert Pattern: Patterns used for expert adjustment. White Balance: Adjust the overall color the screen by changing the white baseline. Color Management System: A tool that allows you to make adjustments by using test patterns; this does not affect other colors, but can be used to selectively adjust the 6 color areas (Red/Green/Blue/Cyan/Mgt/Yellow). Additional Picture Options: Additional picture options include: 24p Real Cinema (Film Mode): Makes video clips recorded in a film look more natural by eliminating judder effect. Black Level: Sets the black level of the screen to the proper level. Noise Reduction: Reduces screen noise without compromising video quality. Motion Eye Care: Adjusts the brightness of the screen during motion to prevent the screen from being too bright. Dims extremely bright pictures. Image Sticking Minimization (ISM): A frozen still picture displayed on the screen for prolonged periods can result in a ghost image. The TV's ISM prevents images from sticking or removes ghost images. There are 4 ISM modes. Normal: If image sticking is never a problem, ISM is not necessary - set to Normal. Orbiter: Orbiter may help prevent ghost images. However, it is best not to allow any fixed image to remain on the screen. To avoid a ghost image on the screen, the image will move every 2 minutes. Color Wash: The color block with the screen moved a little and the white pattern are alternately displayed. It is difficult to see the after image on all colors. Once it has been corrected it will not be visible in any color. White Wash: White Wash removes ghost images from the screen. Use sparingly. Watch the TV normally for a while before using this feature to see if the ghost image disappears on its own. Audio Features Sound Optimizer: This function optimizes the sound based on the environment in which the TV is installed (Normal, Wall-Mount, Stand). Virtual Surround w/ 3D Sound Zooming: Infinite Surround is a patented LG proprietary sound processing technology that delivers immersive 5.1 surround sound with just two front speakers. The TV also features 3D sound zooming which provides 3-D optimized sound for a more enjoyable 3D movie experience. Sound Modes: Sound Mode lets you enjoy the best sound without any special adjustment using factory presets. Standard, Music, Cinema, Sport, and Game are preset for optimum sound quality. You can also adjust the TV's sound manually by using the 5-band EQ (100Hz, 300Hz, 1khz, 3khz, 10kHz). Clear Voice II: Clear Voice II enhances and amplifies the frequency range of the human voice to help keep dialogue audible when background noise swells. Auto Volume: Auto Volume makes sure that the volume level remains consistent whether you are watching a commercial or a regular TV program. Because each broadcasting station has its own signal conditions, volume adjustment may be needed every time the channel is changed. This feature allows users to enjoy stable volume levels by making automatic adjustments for each program. Screen Off: You can turn the screen off and only sound is played through the television's speakers. Digital Audio Output: The optical digital output terminal will output Dolby Digital (when available) or 2 channel PCM. The digital optical output terminal only sends an audio signal in Dolby Digital when receiving Dolby Digital surround sound from a digital broadcast channel through the TV tuner. The optical digital audio output will only output in 2ch stereo from sources connected to the television via HDMI, RCA, or USB. AV Sync: If the video and sound of the television are not synced, you can adjust the delay of the audio output to match the video. ARC (Audio Return Channel): The Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4 enables the TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data "upstream" to your A/V receiver; increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature allows audio to be sent from the television to your A/V receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio/video to the television. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to the TV. ARC allows audio from the TV tuner, Network connection, inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any analog connected device to be heard through your ARC compatible AV receiver via the television's HDMI ARC input. The audio from the TV's tuner, network connection can pass as Dolby Digital or 2ch PCM. HDMI, USB, and analog connected devices will be output as 2ch PCM only. Note: Both the television and the receiver must support ARC for this function to work properly. When connecting an A/V receiver that is compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC), connect it to the TV's HDMI 1 input. If connecting a system that is incompatible Audio Return Channel (ARC), an additional audio connection via Digital Audio Out (Optical) is necessary. Network/USB/PC Functions Wired or Wireless Network Connection: This TV can be connected to your home network via its Ethernet (LAN) port or built-in WiFi. If both options are available in your network, the wired Ethernet connection is recommended. Either network connection offers access to your PC movie/photo/music files, LG Apps, and the Internet.

Cory West Blogs Homestead and Being the New Team Leader
NEWS December 9, 2011
The Riders Discount Vesrah Suzuki team decided to head down to Homestead Miami Speedway to participate in the final CCS race of the year so we could get some track time. We had heard that AMA Pro was planning on going down to Miami-Homestead for next season, so it was a great opportunity for us to learn the track and get some data. I was super happy to ditch the winter wardrobe for a weekend and cut some laps on the race bike!
Most of the team flew down a day early so we could play tourist for a day. We cruised down into the Florida keys and had a great day away from the norm. This was also the first time that the new team was all together and going to ride on track. After the first day of riding I realized what a force our team will be next season with Jake in supersport and Benny and myself in DSB. For the first time in my career I've taken the role as the older, more experienced rider on the team. It's kind of a weird feeling, especially because of the speed these young kids have, but its nice to help them with advice whenever possible.
The races went well on Sunday, but I struggled a bit with back row starting spots. The kids were a bit quicker but it was really fun watching them on track. I also got to throw a leg over Tim Bemisderfer's Superbike prepped by Vesrah Suzuki for the final race of the day. It's been a while since I've ridden a proper 1000, and that thing didn't disappoint! I had a great battle for 2nd place but came up just a hair short and finished 3rd in the big Open Shootout race.
Overall the weekend was a success. We all have a good feeling for the track and that will make coming back much easier for the 2012 AMA Pro Road Racing season. Until then, I wish everyone Happy Holidays and I'll see you in 2012!!

'Mystery Incorporated' Is The Best Scooby-Doo Has Ever Been [Review]
if you've been reading ComicsAlliance for a while, you might recall that I am a dude with some strong opinions about the Scooby Doo franchise, and to be honest, the main reason for that is Scooby-Doo!

Mycoplasma pneumonia is an infection of the lungs by the bacteria Mycoplasma pneumoniae (M. pneumoniae).
See also:
Mycoplasma pneumonia usually affects people younger than 40.
People at highest risk for mycoplasma pneumonia include those living or working in crowded areas such as schools and homeless shelters, although many people with it have no identifiable risk factor.
The symptoms are generally mild and appear over a period of 1 to 3 weeks. They may become more severe in some people.
Common symptoms include the following:
Less common symptoms include:
Persons with suspected pneumonia should have a complete medical evaluation, including a thorough physical exam and a chest x-ray -- especially because the physical exam may not always be able to tell pneumonia apart from acute bronchitis or other respiratory infections.
Depending on the severity of illness, other tests may be done, including:
Antibiotics that work against Mycoplasma include macrolides, fluroquinolones, and tetracyclines. You can take these steps at home:
Most people recover completely even without antibiotics, although antibiotics may speed recovery. In untreated adults, cough and weakness can persist for up to a month. The disease can be more serious in the elderly and those with a weakened immune system.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you develop a fever, cough, or shortness of breath. While there are numerous causes for these symptoms, you will need to be checked for pneumonia.
Also, call if you have been diagnosed with this type of pneumonia and your symptoms become worse.
Azithromycin can reduce the risk of developing mycoplasma pneumonia in close contacts of patients with the disease. However, this is not often used, and avoiding people who have the infection may also help reduce yourrisk.
Infants, and persons in poor health, especially those with weakened immune systems due to HIV, organ transplants, or other conditions should avoid contact with people who have mycoplasma pneumonia.

1 (4 pound)
pork shoulder roast
2 tablespoons
ground black pepper
1 teaspoon
kosher salt
1 teaspoon
chipotle chile powder
1/4 cup
balsamic vinegar
2 cups
2 teaspoons
1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger
bourbon whiskey
2 (12 ounce) bottles
barbeque sauce
Made it for a party. Some of the comments I heard besides "delicious" were "This is definately a two plater" I did make my own version. After slow cooking 10 pounds for 14 hours, I
The BBQ sauce (Sweet Baby Ray's honey chipotle) completely overwhelmed the other flavors. It was good, but I'm not sure it would have tasted any different had we skipped the mango, chipotle powder, etc. and just soaked pork in BBQ sauce.

I just made this recipe today and it is definitely a "keeper"! My husband even said it is better than his mother's - and he's never said that before! I followed the recipe exactly except that I used a 7 pound pork shoulder (instead of 4 pounds)and the ratio of pork to sauce was perfect. (If I had used only a 4-lb. pork I'm sure it would have been swimming in sauce.) I cooked the shoulder for 6-1/2 hours, then 'pulled' it, then cooked it for another hour and a half. The mango sweetens it a bit and the chipolte chile pepper gives it a nice kick! Absolutely fabulous - thanks for sharing!
OMG!OMG! I have been on a roll- every recipe ive tried has been great lately. Ths was no exception. This looked unusual but delish so I decided to try it. It WAS unusual but in a very good way. I ended up using more BBQ sauce than called for but thats cuz I like em saucy. Actually, I used 2 different BBQ sauces. I used 2 regular bottles of Kraft bbq sauce, and I also used part of a raspberry-chipolte bbq sauce I had in the pantry. WOW. Iam sure it would have been fine without the touch of raspberry, but MAN, it made it so good and slightly sweet. Still spicy though. I cant wait to make this again, I am running out of good things to say about it. Just give it a try, you will not be sorry!!
Oh my oh my, this is without a doubt the best pulled pork I have ever had, bar none! Anyone that makes this for the first time and tastes the juice before it's pored off, it is super spicy, but IT DOES NOT remain in the meat, just a subtle spicy zing with sweet BQ sauce. I use honey BQ sauce, it's great in this. I serve mine on a Kaiser roll with the classic spears of dill pickle. TO DIE FOR! I'm not much of a drinker and had no bourbon in the house so I went down to my local liquor store and bought a little airline size bottle of bourbon for a buck fifty and it was just perfect. If you're on the fence with this one, get off! you'll love it, I promise.
This was very good. I had an 8 pound piece of meat so of course I doubled everything. I thought the amount of barbeque sauce was too much so I added a total of 36 ounces instead of the 48 ounces that would be required if the recipe was doubled. The meat was very tender and I am glad I did not add the full amount of barbeque sauce it would have masked the chipotle flavor and mangos. I have never been able to find chipotle chili powder so I pureed about half a can of chipotles in adobo with the mangos. If I made it again I would probably add more mangos and chipotle chilis and less barbeque sauce!
This was my first time making pulled pork and this was a nice, easy, and very delicious introduction. I did listen to other reviewers and made the following changes: I mixed the salt, pepper and chipotle together and then rubbed the mix on the meat. After cooking, I trimmed the fat. I added only half of the sauce to the meat, and then added a bit more it to suit my preference for how saucy the pork should be. The extra sauce on the side was a nice addition. One note to those new to making this type of dish: if you can't shred the pork with two forks, it needs to cook more. When it's done, it should only take a few minutes to break it all up. Happy eating!
All the liquid had boiled off long before I checked on mine after 7 hours on low. I also only needed to cook it an additional 30 minutes instead of 1-2 hours after making the sauce. It still turned out delicious, but next time I will reduce the cooking time in the first step.

Whats up Finheaveners!!! I just bought my tickets to the November 15th game against the Bills. Who is going? We should meet up and do some tailgating before if anyone is going!!!!! PHINS UP!
Whats up Finheaveners!!! I just bought my tickets to the November 15th game against the Bills. Who is going? We should meet up and do some tailgating before if anyone is going!!!!! PHINS UP!
I'll be there. Not sure if I'm tailgating just yet but I'll be in the house to see them get beat up just like last year
i'll be there but i've got a little drive so i won't be there until right before the game. bills fans are brutal for those who don't know so be weary. always trying to start fights, especially when their team is losing.
It's my birthday, I'll be at Tootsie's popping bottles!!
My gf got me tickets for our 1 year in june Last year was the first game in buffalo i'd missed in about 11 years haha. My first game I ever attended there Derrick Rodgers threw me his glove by the tunnel after a 33-6 victory, what a great way to end my first ever NFL game.
I will be there!! Section 143 row 12!! 14th consecutive Bills vs Dolphins game. Will be there at noon tailgating! Lets all get loud and let these overpaid clowns know what the deal is!!!
I'll be there as well. 2 of my friends are going with me and we will be there around 4 or 5pm. Our seats are in section 114 in row 14. I have to say, Ive been there 5 different times for Miami games and have yet experienced a victory for us. Yes the Buffalo fans are nasty, but if you are not a punk you should be fine. Ive worn my dolphins gear every time and have not had any problems. Hope to see many Dolfans there!
Ill be there making the short drive up from Toronto...wear your Dolphins gear...dont be scared...I do every year up there...little comments but nothing physical..just dont be a goof!
I suddenly am thinking about it. I will be doing business in Erie PA that day and headed home towards Rochester but thinking of possibly getting a ticket and a nearby hotel room instead. If someone here has an extra ticket to sell so I can be with fellow finfans that would certainly motivate me to do so, otherwise I will be taking it easy and watching on the tube with a cold one.

Lindsey Stevens
Associate Director of Admission
I enjoy working in admission because?
The long-lasting relationships we form with students who choose Witt. I love to see a student go through the college search process, choose Witt, and graduate four years later. What a neat thing to watch a student develop from being a 17-year-old high school student to a 22-year old adult!
My favorite place on campus?
My favorite place on-campus is Post 95 because you can see so many people in a short amount of time.
I enjoy cooking, running, watching my husband's football games (he's a high school football coach), and of course taking care of our new little daughter, Madeline, and our two dogs, Otis and Julia!
What I look for in a student?
The first is obvious – academic strength. Secondly, I look for a student who will come to campus, get involved, and make a difference whether in activities, service or athletics. Finally, kindness and sincerity in a student goes a long way.

Thank you for visiting Bombardier's 2013 Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) online report. On this website, you will find information on our CSR efforts – both the progress we've made this year and the challenges we've experienced. We are proud of the work we have done – and it is a credit to our employees and our CSR Committee. But there is still much we want to do. To focus our efforts, this past year we set ten long-term priorities that will guide our approach over the next several years.
In addition to our 2013 CSR online report, this year we have published an Activity Report – the first step in the evolution of our external corporate reporting. This Activity Report provides a more comprehensive account of our business, showing how we create both financial and societal value in the short- and long-term. We believe, given how interconnected our business strategy is with societal concerns, that this type of communication is necessary to understand the bigger picture of how we operate and how we make decisions for the future.
We want our reporting to be part of a dialogue with our stakeholders. We welcome your feedback. Please share your thoughts so we may continue to improve how we conduct our business, how we serve our customers and how we serve society.

If Democrats Had Spine (or were Thinking like Republicans)
Stephen Griffin
The passage of the Military Commissions Act is far from the end of the debate over how we should handle suspected terrorists. The debate now is just as much over how the Act will be perceived as it is a legal struggle. Democrats should be thinking about how to frame the debate and I have a few suggestions. In what follows, keep in mind I'm trying to think like a Republican (Karl Rove or Frank Luntz perhaps, although I can't tell whether they were involved with the Act).
That's far short of what's needed. Democrats need to look deep inside and find their political fortitude. Voters look at the Democrats and say, "Hell, these people roll over anytime the GOP says, "Boo!" -- so how can I expect them to defend us from the terrorists?" I'm not endorsing this (very emotional) reasoning, but its existence is, I think, incontrovertible.
And that raises a deeper issue. Effective political rhetoric engages the emotions. The GOP has learned this, and the Democrats have not. Karl Rove sleeps with a copy of Aristotle's _Rhetoric_ under his pillow every night, reads it every morning, and puts its lessons to work all day by giving every issue an emotional frame: e.g., "cut and run," "with us or against us."
Democrats, meanwhile, drone on about "enabling resolutions" and "S.3491."
This is not to demean rational content, an area where Democrats do much better than the GOP -- although not as good as they ought to. It is to point out that Democrats rarely give the public a good emotional hook to hold onto. And that is the most important reason they have a difficult time at the ballot box, even though the GOP's policies are mostly abysmal failures.
Democrats need to dig deep, locate their principles, and stand strong for them even when the odds are against them. This will have the paradoxical effect of making the odds far better. How do you think George W. Bush is still in office? It's not just biased media and a GOP congress. No, it's that he sticks to his principles -- as rationally empty, misinformed, dangerous, and un-American as most of them are -- like glue. Part of this is, of course, the Big Lie Technique, which Democrats (and everyone who cares about truth) should shun. But part of it is dogged adherence to principle. And that's what Democrats need to adopt. Until they do, every new rhetorical flourish -- like the one suggested in this entry -- will produce only limited, temporary gains.
As I noted before, the GOP will always swiftboat the Democrats, irrespective of what they do. They only way to handle swiftboating is to forge a coherent philosophy and stick to the principles that arise from it, even when the odds look bad.
Like most political events under our legal structure, effects, as you forecast, take time. It is a well tempered system which adapts to inputs before generating response. To me the first opportunity to address MCA will occur when one of the mistaken captures brings an appeal to a sentence. Then the political strategizers will have to face the balance afforded by the judiciary, Sen Graham, Rep. King, and others notwithstanding. Meanwhile there is the aristotelian catharsis anticipated from the pageant of war crimes tribunals and executions, which Karl and associates will use to rally voters. Look for the first trial and sentence of the worst just before voters go to the polls.
However, it really offers no comment on Democrats, who, after all, are a patriotic lot, if more nuanced. We would like the safeguards built into the process upfront. Not with this congress.
I liked the bipartisan spirit Rep. Wilson captured in her measure to assure each person on the intell committee in both chambers receives briefings, not simply the FISA-8 who are sworn to secrecy; yet, her 'modernization' measure earned Harman's Nay vote. So we are going to revisit the secret government philosophy of this again in the wiretap legislation.
I think there is ample ground upon which Democrats can agree such modernizations will keep the checks and balances in government without accepting the brickbats of Republicans who would like to frame the debate in more classical jingoism concepts. But I worry a lot about sending elected representatives like those to a proposed constitutional convention; they are making some pretty unseemly laws as it is.
Raven is right -- this was the Torture Bill. I'd like to see an ad something like the following:
Camera pans over instruments of torture (there are such images from the Khmer Rouge and probably others). A narrator says, "Dictators in every age have abused human rights by torturing people. Waterboarding [show one] makes the victim believe he's drowning. We prosecuted the Japanese for war crimes because they did this in World War II.
Now a victim appears and describes how awful the process was. If there is no victim readily available, use a written description and the narrator.
The ad ends with the narrator saying, "Torture is not an American value. X voted for torture. We don't need Senators/Representatives who do what dictators do, we need Senators/Representatives who will stand up for America."
This ad could be varied with other forms of torture. It could also be run as a candidate ad with the Democrat at the end looking into the camera and saying, "I'm X. I'll never vote for torture."
I don't understand this "if the Democrats had backbone" meme. Doesn't it seem plausible that the majority of senators and congressmen actually agree with the majority of American voters in supporting the legislation?
Meanwhile, I'd like to limit the discussion to people with credibility. I'd like to suggest that discussion of GWOT issues be limited to people who never believed any of the following:
1. The Rosenbergs are innocent.
2. Alger Hiss is innocent.
3. The Soviet system is not too different from our own, and is not going to collapse any time soon.
4. If we would just negotiate with the PLO, Mideast peace could be achieved.
If you ever believed any of these things, I, and most Americans, will never, ever, ever listen to you, so don't bother.
Griffin and others,
Please take your advice! You will only ensure permament minority status for Democrats for years to come.
The reason why Dems lose elections is because they get tied to statements like yours.
The "Military Dictatorship Act of 2006." Oh my God, seriously, where do you come up with this stuff? Even if you actually believe that, you will only look like fools to the American people. But, be my guest, I'm not in the habit of correcting the political idiocy of the "loyal opposition."
I would offer somewhat different advice to the Democrats.
1) Understand where the support for this bill is coming from. We just suspended habeas corpus in a whole class of cases, virtually abrogated the Geneva Conventions, and endorsed torture officially. Why? The only reason I can see is fear. Many Americans have enough free-floating fear of 10-foot-tall Arab terrorists that they'll endorse all manner of brutality against them.
2) Come up with a palatable way to tell people that they don't have to feel so afraid. Yes, there's a threat, but it's not limitless. We are scoring victories against Al Quaida without gutting the Constitution. We can show a little fortitude in the face of what danger we do face. (This is the hardest part. John Kerry tried and failed here. It's a matter of appealling to "the better angels of our nature," the opposite of the Bush/Rove technique.)
3) For heaven's sake, drop the idea that you can agree with Bush on GWOT and then win an election on domestic issues. Short of a severe recession at home, it won't work.
Spine is not the problem. Rhetoric is the problem. Dems get too hung up talking about the details and whenever they might have a detail they could score a point on the GOP simply denies that detail exists. This was exemplified on NewsHour the night the bill passed where Bruce Fein (against) and another former Reaganite debated the bill. Fein would criticize some part of the bill and the other guy would just deny the bill did that. Dems cannot win that kind of debate on issues involving terrorism. Dems need to have their own principled position on all aspects of the war on terror and talk about it as if it matters to them. If people come to trust that the Dems have a real strong position on fighting terrorism then they might actually successfully oppose this type of legislation because people will be willing to accept that their position is still an anti-terrorist position and possibly a better one and then standing up for principle actually becomes a way of demonstrating toughness. Terrorism is the only thing that keeps Bush going as the facts undermine him on every other issue and they would undermine him on terror too if enough people believed we dems had a STRONG position on it.
I think that's right, it's the Torture Act. And I think it may be true that Democrats voted for it because they agree with it.
It is not clear to me, however, that most Americans agree with it - or would if they knew what it meant.
If you want the discussion limited to "people with credibility," your statements just disqualified you. Nice seeing you. Drive home safely.
It's the "Terrorists have Won Act."
The freedoms they hate us for? Bush just handed over those freedoms on a silver platter.
Or, how about the "Fear in America Act".
And a useful slogan? "We had America the Beautiful; Bush has given us America the Torturer."
For the religious right: "Who Would Jesus Torture"?
Anyone still have info on those nice, middle-class girls who were rounded up for protesting the RNC and denied access to lawyers, etc?
Thinking of THOSE folks in Gitmo might help clarify the issue for people.
Also, although this plays on prejudices, "Why are we trying to get more like Syria?" ...Maybe better to find some of Reagan's old "Evil Empire" speeches about the [then-]Soviet Union.
Whoo, that's some act of courage, making that post under your real name when you're living in a freshly minted military dictatorship. It was nice knowing you, enjoy the prison camp!
The American people are rationally ignorant about political matters, but not, on average, all THAT stupid. We are, obviously, not yet living in any sort of dictatorship, and that sort of overheated rhetoric won't help.
Try explaining why the bill is bad. Shouldn't be that difficult, given that it IS bad, and the voting public might be pleasantly suprised at the novelty of politicians trying to persuade them by rational argument.
The people are scared?Post a Comment
The people did not come up with this act, and the people did not vote for it.
The people are being bombarded by fear messages and messages that Democrats want to appease the terrorists, and that Republicans are Steely Eyed Rocket Men. While the Democrats simply don'[t have the microphone.
Do they buy this? The polls say no.
Are the people scared?
Do they look scared?
Do they act scared?
And I don't mean do they sit still for Republican handwaving: I mean activity.
The answer from my perch is no.
Rhetorical strategies?
"Where's Osama?" to start with.
How about "If a criminal is holed up in a building, how about going in and getting him instead of blowing up a nearby warehouse because it MIGHT have weapons that he MIGHT use?"
How about "Iraq is the central front of the Global War on Terror? Mind telling us where the other fronts are, and what's being done about them? Is North Korea a front in the Global War on Terror? How's that front going? Are we advancing on it?"
How about: "What if it hadn't been Katrina, but an Al Qaeda operative with a suitcase nuke that had blown the New Orleans levees. Would the Republicans' response to the disaster have been any different--any better? Let's occcupy another country and pour in 800 billion--BILLION dollars--but inspect the containers coming into our ports--too expensive. Defend our chemical and nuclear facilities with military security? Too expensive. Replace a seasoned expert in disaster relief with an incompetetnt party loyalist? Priceless."
How about "Iraq is the central front of the war on terror. What flaming idiot of a general keeps pounding away at the central front? Shouldn't we be sweeping around the sides, attacking the flank of the opponent.
You know the last folks who used that strategy? The French in World War I. Just keep throwing men at their strongest point. Just keep sending them right into themachine gun fire--because using anything like flanking maneuvers is just 'cut and run.'
Iraq is not the central front of the war on terror--it's the TRENCH WARFARE of the War on Terror.
Think about it. You know that it's true.
And it takes a bunch of guys who've never commanded forces in battle--who've never even SEEN combat--to think that that the French General Staff is a fine model for their war."
OK, I'll stop. But there's a huge amount that we can hit them on.
The main thing is, we need the microphone for that, and we don't have it. If we grab it--the way the Big Dog did--they snatch it back and begin talking at top speed about how crazy that was, how irrational, how shamefully unbalanced--and look! Football season!

Strada Pizzeria and Enoteca ~ Canyon Country ~ Santa Clarita Valley
Today for lunch, after receiving a couple of good recommendations, we went for lunch at this new restaurant in Canyon Country.
From the outside, it looks just like any other pizza place, but once inside it's very welcoming, nicely decorated, nothing too stuffy, just nice and clean.
Now for the food, it was amazing. Everything we tasted was great.
We started with iced tea, and it tasted freshly brewed. We ordered a Minestrone Soup, a trio of Crostini, a Caesar salad, a Stromboli, and a Muffaletta. For dessert we had a Toasted Almond Tiramisu, and an order of Zeppole and I also had an Italian roast coffee made fresh to order using a French coffee press. Everything was very, very good. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients, all prepared to order, and housemade. I liked everything we ordered, but my favorite was the crostini, I loved the combination of the three different toppings for each of the crostini, it reminded me of a trio of bruscheta that Woolfgang Puck's "Vert" Restaurant used to serve, but Strada's was actually better. Oh, and the Tiramisu, definitively one of the best I have tried.
I strongly recommend this place and I am so happy that it's here in SCV, I wish it was close to my part of the city, but for me the drive to CC to eat at this restaurant is more than worth it. There are so many newly open restaurants in SCV, and I think I had try them all already with high hopes, and leaving full of disappointment, but today I left very happy with my experience at Strada Enoteca.
Service was great too, our quite young waitress was very nice and knowledgeable, she promptly offered us a seat, and took our drink orders, brought us bread (which was freshly made too, along with excellent quality olive oil) then our food was delivered promptly, she kept checking on us during our meal.
My hopes is that this establishment stays with us for a long time, and keeps the same great food, and great service. Consistency is the key in my opinion.
26910 Sierra Hwy
Canyon Country, CA 91321
(661) 298-8080
Please see some of the photos that I took today during our lunch:
I've eaten at this place twice and both times its been great. The food is all made fresh to order
The bread that is served is very addictive. Fresh baked and served warm cut into strips (its a flatter bread) served very uniquely sticking out of a glass jar. And the olive oil! Man, William was right again, this was high quality and very tasty. I thought it was going to be too much for the person with me and I'd have that delicious bowl to myself, but nope, he liked it too! Will wonders never cease!
We settled on the Baked Eggplant, Baked Lasagna and Margherita Pizza. The eggplant was 2 thick slices that were grilled (evidently with a little bit of that delicous olive oil on them!!! YAY!) with a delicious tomato sauce, ricotta and mozzarella cheese. Big hit with me. I love eggplant. I used the remaining bread to scoop up the luscious sauce from the bowl.
Next - lasagna - freshly prepared and delicous. Tasting like something one of my Italian friends' grandmas make. Everything melded together in a delicous, harmonious stack.
Pizza - a nice thin crunchy crust, not overly heaped with cheese, which was fine with me, but not my dining companion who is a cheese-aholic when it comes to pizza toppings. Fresh leaves of basil were scattered on top. They have a real oven it cooks in, and not a conveyor belt.
Alas, no room for dessert, we'll have to try it next time. I was told the bread for the panini is from the same dough as the bread served at the beginning of the meal, so already I can't wait.
I couple things to know before you go. Everything is "small plates" including things listed as entrees. The lasagna and eggplant were served in a squarish bowl about maybe 5 x 5. So if you are starving, know that you will need to order a couple of items. Pizza was somewhere in the range of 10-12 inches in my guesstimation.
According to their website, they try to use organic when possible (they use Muir Glen tomatoes, our pizza pan was perched atop a large industrial size can on our table which I thought was a cool touch) , so the prices reflect the quality and freshness of ingredients. Eggplant was $8, Pizza I think $10, lasagna $12.
Went back again for the sausage panini and the meatball pizza. Both were very good. The panini was full ouf a delicious fennel flavored sausage and had nicely sauteed onions and peppers, nice melted cheese and a little bit of garlic aioli all wrapped up in their homemade bread.
The meatball pizza had slices of their homemade meatballs, which were good. They were broiled, not cooked in sauce, so the outside had a nice crunch, and dollops of ricotta cheese.
Once again we were too full for dessert. We saw somebody elses Porterhouse steak and it looked phenomenol and very large. I'd have to share it with somebody, but I definitely want to check it out sometime.
re: lvgoodfood
Got a shot of what the inside of the steak looked like?
I ate here again today. I think I've been 4 or 5 times now, everything has been terrific. I still haven't tried the steak yet, but I need to!
Today we had pepperoni pizza and a salad
Today we tried the chopped antipasto salad. Small pieces of crispy, fresh romaine lettuce mixed with just the right amount of chickpeas, luscious, tasty pieces of salamis, smatterings of olives and the tastiest citrus dressing! Oh, and did I mention the fresh mozarella?? MMMMMMMM. Perched on top was a perfectly roasted wedge of potato that I could have eaten an entire plate of! I could seriously crave this salad, and wish Strada was closer to my work than some of the dismal choices I have. I'd be getting this salad at least once a week!
The pepperoni pizza was delicious. The piquant pepperoni was perfectly porportioned and played perfectly in proximity to the sauce (Ok, so I couldn't think of any more words starting with P to throw in there)
For dessert we decided to try the almond tiramisu. It was moist and delicious and the almond flavor was not overpowering. It was nice spin on the traditionally boozy, inedible desserts you find other restaurants try to pass off as tiramisu.
I've attached pictures of a previous visit with a panini and a meatball pizza

Today marks 50 days to go until day one of the 2013 Formula 1® Australian Grand Prix.
Event preparations are in full swing with an impressive support line-up confirmed and Nitro Circus Live locked in to headline the post-race entertainment.
Australian fast bowler and self-proclaimed F1 fan, Peter Siddle, visited "F1 World" at Queensbridge Square today and declared his excitement for the upcoming event.
"All eyes will no doubt be on Melbourne for the opening race of the 2013 Formula One season and I can't wait for the Albert Park street circuit to come alive," he said.
Australia's own Mark Webber and Daniel Ricciardo will again take to the track as they each try to secure their first Grand Prix victory on home soil. It is the second year in a row and the second time in F1 history that two Australians will race at Albert Park.
"I am a big Webber fan and have been lucky enough to meet him a few times before. All of Australia would join me in saying, that they would love nothing more than to see Webber seal his maiden home Grand Prix victory," Siddle added.
Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Grand Prix Corporation, Andrew Westacott, is officially in countdown mode.
"The Australian Grand Prix Corporation team is working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that the 2013 event is our biggest and best yet," he said.
"This year we are also celebrating 60 years since the first Australian Grand Prix was held at Albert Park in 1953," he continued.
"To celebrate this we have announced that Thursday 14 March will be named Heritage Day and free entry will be given to all General Admission patrons."

Comments about Convection Heater with Thermostat and Timer:
Wanted a heater for the master bathroom. We keep the house cooler at night and wanted a heater that would warm bathroom before we awoke and started the day. The allure of this heater was its ability to set a timer to turn off and on at preset times.... For this it was wonderful. The heater was effective when it worked..... Thus its main problem.... It is not durable/long lasting. First one lasted maybe a month. We returned it for replacement ... No problem. Thought we might have just gotten a defective one..... Until the second one went out about 6 months later..... I decided to go a different way after that. Also when the unit turns on and off with the timer, it has a loud "click" often enough to wake us.... Even when it was In another room with doors shut..... I couldn't recommend this product!
