While the majority of old-fashioned elbow grease work is done in a commercial kitchen, this work generally pays off in spades in the dining room.

Home-building giant Meritage Homes cut the ribbon last month on its first high-performance, green community in the San Antonio area.

Doubts over Fed's role in US systemic risk supervision
WASHINGTON, DC - The present debate over the future of US macro-prudential supervision is increasingly focusing on one prickly question: What should the role of the Federal Reserve be in supervising systemic risk? The composition of a systemic risk council or regulatory body has not yet been worked out, but the Fed is expected to play an important role, which is raising industry, regulatory and political opposition, as its responsibilities are perceived to loom large already. "If there is a systemic...

The drums on Hai to Diamond were performed by Akira, who left the group in January before its release. Although "Rain" was written and demoed under the title "Julia (Reason For So Long)" prior to this album, the finished version includes lyrics and co-composition by Yoshiki.

"Manatsu no Tobira" was used in the 1994 anime Yamato Takeru. It was also covered by v[Neu] for the compilation album Counteraction - V-Rock covered Visual Anime songs Compilation-, which was released on May 23, 2012 and features covers of songs by visual kei bands that were used in anime.[1] "Kanojo no "Modern..."" was covered for Crush! 3 - 90's V-Rock Best Hit Cover Love Songs-, which was released on June 27, 2012 and features current visual kei bands covering love songs by visual kei bands of the 90's.[2] It was performed by Crash49, a one-off supergroup consisting of Mitsu from v[Neu], Yoshihiro from Guild, Aki from -Oz-, Karin from Nogod and Hiroki from D.
In celebration of their 20th anniversary, Glay released Hai to Diamond Anthology (灰とダイヤモンド Anthology?) exactly 20 years later on May 25, 2014. The two CD/one DVD set includes remastered tracks, re-recordings, demo versions, and a live medley.[3]

George Hamilton confounded his detractors by turning in a first-rate comic performance in Love at First Bite. Hamilton plays Count Dracula, who is evicted from his Transylvanian domicile when the Communist government decides to nationalize his castle. With faithful toady Renfield (Arte Johnson) at his side, Dracula heads for the Big Apple, where he finds the vampire pickings radically different from those on his home turf: for example, ol' Drac suffers the mother of all hangovers when his sinks his fangs into the neck of a wino. Klutzy Cindy Sondheim (Susan Saint James) falls in love with Dracula, not fully aware of his colorful background. But Cindy's stuffy fiance Dr. Jeff Rosenberg (Richard Benjamin), a descendant of Dracula's perennial foe Professor Van Helsing, knows what Dracula's up to and does his best to thwart the vampire's plan. This proves very difficult, since such time-honored remedies as the stake through the heart are frowned upon by the New York City authorities. So successful was Love at First Bite that Hamilton was encouraged to have a satiric go at another literary icon in 1982's Zorro, the Gay Blade. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Publishers Weekly - Publisher's WeeklyUsing notes and recipes of the late Virginia Rich ( The Cooking School Murders), Pickard, author of the Jenny Caine mysteries, serves up a fourth satisfying, chatty tale about master cook and amateur sleuth Eugenia Potter. In her home in New England, the widowed Mrs. Potter receives a call from Ricardo Ortega, manager of her Arizona ranch, who hints at trouble. Alarmed, she flies out to find that Ricardo and his granddaughter have disappeared. As neighboring ranchers and friends conduct a search, Mrs. Potter tries to determine the cause of Ricardo's unease. To feed the volunteers, she cooks up a huge pot of her 27-ingredient chili. Ricardo's body is discovered badly battered after an apparent fall, but Linda remains missing. The savory supper somewhat comforts the searchers, who leave with containers of leftovers. The next morning Mrs. Potter's elderly hired hand and two illegal immigrant boys are found dead, poisoned by the chili. Aiding the forthright sleuth in her ultimately successful pursuit of the killer and the missing girl is a rediscovered former lover. Suspense with dollops of romance and gossip makes this offering irresistible. Mystery Guild main selection. (Jan.)

The Twenty-Seven Ingredient Chili Con Carne Murders (Eugenia Potter Series #1) based on 0 ratings. 2 reviews.
This rp is based in the medieval times of knights,castles, and etc.
 There will be a maximum of seven kingdoms with each kingdom having a house to lead it. The 1st kingdom is The Kingdom of Erendelli. Their leading house is The House of Carnage. The second kingdom is The Kingdom of Slavania. It's leading house is The House of Slavic. The third kingdom is The Kingdom of Asperion. It's leading house is The House of Asmur. The rest of the kingdoms will come when more roleplayers join or if any rise to such a high power to rule their owm kingdom.
 Next are the rules:
 1. If treason is committed, death is the acceptable punishment. The King or 1st General will kill the criminal.
 2. Alliamces can only be made between kingdoms, if the King or Queen officially signs the document aligning both kingdoms.
 3. Abuse of women or children will result to imprisonment.
 4. The King or Queen can be overthrown, if they don't meet the people's needs.
 5. War cam be declarded if only sparked by an important cause like assassination or conquering territory already claimed by other kingdoms.

 About this roleplay:
 Your objective is to rule your own kingdom (seven kingdoms total), or serve as a soldier in the army, or be a peasant in the town. Either way, you will experience tye life a person from the medieval times. Alliances between foes will be made, true love will be found, and death will consume us all, but don't fret! You will go on advetures to save loved ones or fight in a war to protect your kingdom or even make bread to feed your family. Live. Fight. Love. Hate. Die. & repeat again!

Kget with Increased Capability
Working within the context of his Google Summer of Code project, Matthias Fuchs has vastly improved the KDE download manager Kget.
The manager now not only supports downloads from multiple sources, the source can also be changed during the download, when, for example, a faster mirror is required.
The new Kget will also automatically check the program and meta links can bundle multiple files into one download, and similar to torrents, the user is able to choose the parts of the meta link to be downloaded.
Kget is still at the review stage, but it's expected to be included in the KDE trunk soon. The source code can be found at Github.

The discrete wavelet transform (DWT) decomposes an image into bands that vary in spatial frequency and orientation. It is widely used for image compression, measures of the visibility of DWT quantization errors are required to achieve optimal compression. Uniform quantization of a single band of coefficients results in an artifact that we call DWT uniform quantization noise; it is the sum of a lattice of random amplitude basis functions of the corresponding DWT synthesis filter. We measured visual detection thresholds for samples of DWT uniform quantization noise in Y, Cb, and Cr color channels. The spatial frequency of a wavelet is r2 -λ, where r is the display visual resolution in pixels/degree, and λ is the wavelet level. Thresholds increase rapidly with wavelet spatial frequency. Thresholds also increase from Y to Cr to Cb, and with orientation from lowpass to horizontal/vertical to diagonal. We construct a mathematical model for DWT noise detection thresholds that is a function of level, orientation, and display visual resolution. This allows calculation of a "perceptually lossless" quantization matrix for which all errors are in theory below the visual threshold. The model may also be used as the basis for adaptive quantization schemes.

"The Whirlybirds" TV show got more guys interested in flying helicopters than any other show! The Bell 47 was used in the first episodes, to be followed by the Bell 47J later. Kenneth Tobey and Craig Hill were excellent in the roles of Chuck Martin and P.T. Moore. They would always use a copter to save lives, solve crimes, or take care of business. This is one series I would LOVE to see on DVD! An awful lot of pilots would buy them as fast as they could make them, if they were of good quality! It was so much fun to watch the boys get in and out of one scrape after another. You knew they weren't the real pilots, but it was fun and games anyway!
A great show that was syndicated. Two guys run a Helicopter company (and of course have a good looking secretary) and help out the police, firefighters, Army etc, whenever they can. Which of course was every episode. They were either tracking escaped criminals or rescuing some bonehead who had gotten themselves stranded out in the middle of nowhere. Each episode managed to let the viewer know that the Helicopter was really the shows star. When this show was being run every helicopter pilot around must have thought "How come I never have any adventures like those Whirlybird guys" Blue Thunder and Airwolf came years later and featured helos but never seemed to match the magic of this late 50's gem.
Okay, it wasn't the exact same 'chopper' that appeared in M*A*S*H but that's what started me watching the latter classic. Good theme which I would like to hear again, almost as good as 'Cannonball'. Two likeable actors but I can't really remember much else. Ah, those were the days; take me back to 1959. TV evenings in Sydney would bring you some classic Westerns plus 'Whirlybirds' and of course 'Sea Hunt'.
This late 50's series was repeated in the 70's over here in the U.K and my
Brother and I were addicted to it (as addicted to Champion The Wonder
Many an hour was spent "being the Whirlybirds" and wishing that we had a Helicopter and got up to the same "daring do's" that the two leads in the series did.
I remember the series well and would love to see at least just one episode again to see if it was a fun as I remember. But it may be best that I dont, endless shots of the copter and some chump stuck up to his waist in mud may not have the same "exciting" look as they did when I was 6, but you never know
On behalf of The New Whirlybirds I thank you for your loyalty to this premium action series. Introducing the star of the show, the Bell 47, and creating diverse plots were the reasons why many like Danny and I chose to become helicopter pilots. As one of our friends said to Ken Tobey when he graciously appeared (Craig Hill moved to Spain and does not care to be involved in any recollection of the series he is actively involved in TV there) at our 2001 Bell 47 Fly and took his ride in The New Whirlybirds' helicopter N9FK, "Although the actors were not pilots, they were pilots to their fans." I encourage all fans to support this show through the mission that The New Whirlybirds have taken to pay tribute to their efforts. Trivia: Original Whirlybirds Director Bruce Bilson introduced The New Whirlybirds in 2003 at L.A. Bell Helicopter sponsors their appearances to remind people of The Bell 47 - The helicopter that saved so many lives. Trivia: Helicopters used were a Bell 47 G - G2 - Ranger J model. Trivia: Everything was done with hand signals - no radios. Trivia: Director Robert Altman got his start on the show and is one of the reasons why it was so well organized. Trivia. The main pilot of the show was Bob Gilbreath who tragically died in an helicopter accident shortly after the show.
I remember sitting on my father's lap while watching Whirleybirds in the late '50s. I suspect that I saw every episode, however, as I was so young at the time, the details have long since faded from my memory. What I do recall is my total fascination with the Bell helicopters that were used to accomplish such daring do and my father's lament that Hiller helicopters never seemed to appear in the series. (He had worked for Stanley Hiller as a project engineer in San Carlos, CA.) I'm sure the plots were naive and the characterizations were shallow, but for a 1950's geeky kid who also watched Mr. Wizard, it was heaven for the imagination.
I am totally a loyal fan of this particular TV series. Like one other person expressed on this website, I wish there was a DVD collection of every episode ever produced. As an aviation buff, I can appreciate the use of the two Bell helicopters used in the series. Any other series that followed including Chopper One and Airwolf came in second and third as far as I am concerned. One contributor noted that Craig Hill had moved to Spain to pursue his acting career. I had not known that and makes a lot of sense considering his roles he has undertaken since the demise of the Whirlybirds. Kenneth Tobey was a gifted actor and could play anything from drama to comedies. He is truly missed. I hope one to find a complete collection of this memorable series.
Of course, my high score may be distorted through the lens of childhood
nostalgia since I haven't seen this series since I used to watch it
after school back in the 60's, but it seems like it could have been at
least part of the inspiration for "Emergency!" which ran in the 1970's.
Of course, Emergency! was a TV series about two paramedics, friends as
well as colleagues, that respond to all sorts of emergencies back when
the paramedic program was in its infancy. Whirlybirds was about two
helicopter pilots, friends as well as colleagues, who respond to all
kinds of emergencies when the helicopter was first being used for
difficult rescues and the tracking and pursuit of criminals.
If this ever came out on DVD I'd buy the entire series in a moment. From what I remember it was not repetitive at all with all kinds of people in distress in all types of situations being rescued by these guys. Plus they were very effective at chasing the bad guys with their "birds' eye view". Highly recommended and fondly remembered.
I watched every episode every Friday night when it aired back in the mid 50's and loved every episode. I wonder why this series has never been released on video. I for one would buy every episode, that is how much I loved the 'Whirlybirds'. I've been hoping they would show them on Nick at Night. No such luck though. There has never been a TV series as great as the 'Whirlybirds'.
Having just read all the previous comments on this show, there is not a whole lot I can add, except to say that I remember vividly the day that WPIX TV in New York (Channel 11) debuted this show, complete with a contest (hosted by "Officer Joe Bolton" -- I never quite got how a police officer figure into the equation, but then, I was just a kid) where the winner would receive a remote-controlled model helicopter. During the commercial breaks, "Officer Joe" would conduct demonstrations of the prize. Some kid would come on stage and operate a tethered remote control helicopter, and you would hear the sound of the real Bell helicopter in the background. I remember thinking how cool that was, and I remember my mom telling me how fake the sound was. Fifties TV at its very best (smile).

Children's Literature - Tracy DefinaPicking cotton in 1901 Waxahachie, Texas is not enough for nine-year-old Bessie Coleman. She's dreaming of a world in the sky far from where Blacks are separated from Whites. Black children work in the fields while White children are in school. Even the circus is for "Whites only". Bessie's Ma always says that we are all the same under God's eyes. Believing this is enough to motivate Bessie to achieve her dream of flying. Making her way to Louis Armstrong's Chicago as a young woman and then to France where she learns to fly, Bessie is on her way. In 1921, she returns to the U.S. as the first black aviator in the world. Bessie Coleman's story will inspire young dreamers and is the perfect book to celebrate Black History Month in February. Buchanan's bright lucid watercolors beautifully convey the many moods in this moving story.

Editorial Reviews
Kirkus ReviewsJoseph (Jump Up Time, p. 1119, etc.) uses a strong, steady present-tense narration to tell the story of Bessie Coleman, African-American, Texan, and world's first black woman aviator. What makes this treatment appealing is that Coleman's life lends itself to hyperbole, but Joseph reigns it in, imbuing the story with power and dignity. It will make readers angry at the injustices of the era: Jim Crow laws, whites-only ticket lines, Coleman's trip to France to get her pilot's license because her aspirations were considered absurd in the US. Joseph allows inspiration to form from a quiet presentation of facts; adding to the aura of possibility and grace under fire are Buchanan's sure, atmospheric ink-and-watercolor illustrations.

This was probably one of the best cooking trek/classes I have ever attended. I can't rate it highly enough. The fabulous owner and super chef Penny has set up the most spectacular cooking school, which is over-looking a tropical, misty valley. From the spicy, snake fruit welcome drink, the slightly arduous but fabulous trek to an authentic village, back to cooking class and delicious lunch, it was all just top notch. I managed the walk in my white placky beach sandals but I would recommend sneakers for those interested as it can be steep and rocky in parts. I feel like we got to see authentic Bali when we visited a hidden little village for morning tea. It was complete with smiling families, woven huts, smoky cooking fires, dogs, chooks and a wee fat piglet.
Penny's staff are beautifully relaxed, friendly people and our guide Dewar was a sweetie. The restaurant is gorgeous. I particularly loved the hand moulded bricks on the kitchen wall and the glam open air loo with a view.
My daughter and I really enjoyed the tasting and identifying of the various ingredients of Bumbu Bali and making dishes like Nasi Goreng.
Thank you, Penny! We'll be back and we'll recommend you to all our friends.

Counting the homeless
Annual homeless count offers supplies, meals while gauging community needs
Quantifying Columbia Countys homeless population is a challenging task, but the Community Action Team is attempting to do just that.
Just before noon Wednesday, a handful of people spilled out onto the steps of CATs office on 17th Street in St. Helens. Wednesday marked the third day of a five-day homeless count effort that has been conducted in a different community each day.
Inside the CAT building, homeless people could stock up on winter clothes, underwear, a water bottle and a tent, while grabbing a sandwich and a cup of coffee.
A man with salt-and-pepper hair pulled back in a ponytail under a ball cap stood outside after picking up some essentials during the daylong event.
Hes staying at a Christian sober living house in St. Helens, but finding anything permanent beyond that will be challenging.
Its a full-time job, living homeless, trying to figure out how to get the things you need to survive to be human, the man, whose name is being withheld to protect his privacy, said as he finished the last of his coffee. He said he spent many years enjoying and abusing drugs, partying and getting by.
But now Im 49 and its not cool anymore, he said. You reap what you sow. I dont mind living outside. Ive learned how to do it, but people look down at you.
Others come and go, some sifting through bins of shoes, others staying to chat with volunteers before heading out on bikes or on foot.
Weve had about 25 people stop by so far today, Martha Olmstead, a housing program coordinator with CAT, reported Wednesday. The one-day homeless count in St. Helens wasnt halfway over.
On Monday, volunteers opened up a church in Rainier for part of the day. Tuesday, homeless people in Clatskanie were counted, with a count scheduled for Vernonia on Thursday and Scappoose the following day.
The annual homeless count doesnt yield accurate numbers, but the survey gives CAT a frame of reference when assessing the countys needs.
A 2015 point-in-time homeless count showed 13,176 people are homeless across the state, a report released by the Oregon Department of Housing and Community Services indicates. That same report counted 317 homeless people in Columbia County, with 274 of those people classified as unsheltered.
Like Portland, most of Columbia Countys homeless population relies on tents to provide shelter from the elements while living outside.
In 2015, state lawmakers committed more than $60 million toward building affordable housing in both urban and rural areas, but for most, it cant come soon enough.
This year, we see that the number of people experiencing homelessness has remained steady from our last count, Margaret Van Vliet, the director of Oregon Housing and Community Services, stated in a news release last year with the publication of the statewide annual homeless count. However, this count shows increasing numbers of homeless families in rural areas.

Blu-ray Review: 'Hannibal' is Best Drama on Network TVSubmitted by BrianTT on September 27, 2013 - 9:02am
CHICAGO – Has there ever been a network TV show more cinematic than "Hannibal"? Especially when one watches it commercial-free in "binge" format on the newly-released Blu-ray, one can even more distinctly appreciate the fact that the first season of Bryan Fuller's incredible show, the best on network TV, plays like long film. Scratch that.
TV Review: NBC's 'Hannibal' is Smart, Creepy, Adult ThrillerSubmitted by BrianTT on April 4, 2013 - 10:14am
CHICAGO – NBC's "Hannibal" is the best new network drama of the 2012-13 season. It's a smart, creepy, atmospheric piece of work that perfectly gets the Thomas Harris universe that gave us one of the most memorable villains of all time.
TV Review: ABC's 'Off the Map' Follows Well-Trodden FormulaSubmitted by mattmovieman on January 12, 2011 - 8:45am
CHICAGO – Regardless of its exotic locales, "Off the Map" may benefit from a few more diversions. Everything about this fresh-faced ABC drama feels instantly familiar.
Blu-Ray Review: HBO's 'The Pacific' Stands as One of TV's Best Mini-SeriesSubmitted by BrianTT on November 4, 2010 - 1:28pm
CHICAGO – HBO's "Band of Brothers" has been an annual bestseller around the holiday season, first on DVD and now on Blu-ray, and it seems virtually impossible that their equally-notable "The Pacific," now on Blu-ray and DVD, would not follow it up the charts and turn out to be one of the most-given HD gifts of the upcoming season.
TV Review: Everyone Should Watch Masterful 'The Pacific'Submitted by BrianTT on March 14, 2010 - 10:16am
CHICAGO – I must admit to some trepidation about HBO's WWII mini-series "The Pacific" from producers Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, debuting tonight, March 14th, 2010 at 8pm CST. Why? Because "Band of Brothers" is the best mini-series of all time and it's difficult for anyone to pitch a perfect game two starts in a row. I knew it would be good, but doubted it would be great. I was wrong. It's spectacular.

Skip to comments.Semi-News: Dean Denounces Timing of Rehnquist's Death
Posted on 09/09/2005 11:50:02 AM PDT by John Semmens
Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean complained that the timing of Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquists death was highly suspicious.
Last year, Reagan conveniently died just in time to take attention away from Bushs failed Iraq War and boost Bushs chances for reelection, said Dean. Now, in the midst of Bushs failure to prevent the extermination of downtrodden, minority New Orleans hurricane victims, Justice Rehnquist conveniently dies. Am I the only one who sees a pattern here?
Dean charged that presidential advisor Karl Rove was masterminding these strategically timed deaths of conservative icons. Not only do these deaths distract Americans from Bushs blunders, they also serve as a cover for Roves nefarious scheme to suppress Democratic voter turnout in next years Congressional elections by evacuating New Orleans hurricane victims to other states, claimed Dean.
Dean demanded that the Democratic Party be authorized to cast absentee ballots on behalf of the evacuated hurricane victims. These dispersed people are mostly poor and uneducated, said Dean. Many are on welfare. Others are driven to a life of crime. These are the people the Democratic Party represents. Who could object to us casting their ballots for them during this time of turmoil?
Dean said he will be working with key members of Congress to draft enabling legislation.
(Excerpt) Read more at azconservative.org ...
Dang. Dean is on to us....
Get this man a straight jacket and some duct tape.
Many are on welfare. Others are driven to a life of crime. These are the people the Democratic Party represents."
Yup... Mr. Chairman, I couldn't have said it better myself.
Me Too!! LOL
IMPORTANT NOTE: This is just satire, people! But, notice how it wouldn't shock any of us if Dean really did say this stuff.
Dang. Dean is on to us....
Yes, Dean is one sharp cookie, yesssirrr!!
He nailed us, figured out our plot to clean up the SCOTUS.
Is this article for real?? Oh, it must be Scrappleface...??
Too looney, even for the DemoCraps...
I think it's sad for the democRAT party that we're not sure if this is satire.
You don't put jokes in news/currentevents.
He's only thinking it right now.
Ok dean put on your thinking cap... (Tinfoil hat)
I was looking of a Scrappleface link. Surely he can't be serious.
No no. Let him rattle on. This guy is the best recruiter for the Republican Party we have had in years.
Oh fooey! I was hoping he'd actually been insane enough to say it. It wouldn't be much more extreme than what he DOES say on a daily basis.
Satire? The funny thing is, it's tough to tell the difference when it comes to the good Dr.
No way can this be real. Dean is an idiot with a big mouth but not even he could say something so dumb and off the wall. Please be true.
No kidding. I had no trouble believing it at first. But then I took my medication.
This is not scrapple?
Spoken like a true lib!
You know...it would be very funny if the followers of Dean did not take it seriously. Have you ever been to the "Democracy for America Website?" There are people there who believe such hogwash. Hell, there are a whole bunch of people there who believe that 9/11 was faked (the buildings were brought down by demo charges) or it was a conspiracy of the US Government. (All of the people on those planes, well, they are being kept hidden of course in Area 51.)
What the he!! He's really going over the edge. Did we kill Rehnquist or did he die of cancer. How inconvenient for the Deans of the democrat party. I thank God for Mr. Dean though. It's better for us that he be allowed to spew his nonsense. Good grief.
It's ok. Most everyone thought I was talking about Clintoon and I had plenty of material to cover my tracks.
Hmm, is this sarcasm????? I just read the rest of the story and seems to be this is all a joke. Darn.
best recruiter for the Republican Party
your right.
hate to say it, but, he may be better than the Great Ronald Reagan.
And this man is a medical doctor, right???
This Dean guy surpassed all my expectation :)
ME, TOO! I'm just sorry it wasn't true. Darn.
Is this for real? Please tell me it's satire, better yet, please tell me it's real because I think this will definitely turn off a few million democrat voters.
Michael Moore will have to make a documentary about this. After he loses 200 pounds....
Wink, wink. :)
It is satire.
Sorry, but no. Get this man on prime time TV!
Please tell me this is sourced from the Onion... what a sick bastard.
I changed my position once Yankee should me the light.
called dean a republican recruiter. and I would have to agree.
Dean is one smart guy. Are the documents for "Tom Delay's Redistricting" plan well hidden?
Talk about pathalogical thinking!
If I didn't see the topics, I would've believed it.
The Satires on the RatBlamers are in full gear.. and to be honest they are getting easier to write since all one has to do is read what they actually say and do.. oh maybe just stretch a hair but thats all. ;-D
"Had me going for a minute. It wouldn't have surprised me."
Sometimes you just can't tell. Remember what they said about the capture of Saddam Hussein.
Gaurentee 8 out of 10 dems would read that story and agree with it . Very sad the satire and reality are close cousins when it comes to the Dems . It would be nice to circulate this story and let them run with it awhile.Good for a laugh and very telling as well.
Man, if those documents ever see the light of day, we'll have to whack Jimmy Carter just to cause a distraction.
Great tagline, btw. I heard Ken Blackwell speak last night at the Lakewood Republican Organziation, he is an amazing candidate.

There are troubling consequences that come from the particular kind of export economy we're building.
U.S. Marine Corps/Cpl. Dengrier Baez
The Marine Barracks in Washington, D.C., is the showplace of the Marine Corps. It is also the home of officers and enlisted men of the Marine Corps who have been accused of sexually harassing, assaulting and raping female Marine officers and enlisted and civilian women who work there.

The official American reaction to the coordinated attacks in Kabul, the Afghan capital, as well as at Jalalabad airbase, and in Paktika and Logar Provinces, reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of guerrilla warfare.
U.S. Embassy Kabul Afghanistan
Afghan President Hamid Karzai is calling for an accelerated departure of American forces a day after controversial photos were published showing U.S. soldiers posing with body parts of insurgents.
Why has the Obama administration committed itself to releasing more than $1 billion to a government that has challenged its attempt to bring to justice an alleged mastermind of cross-border terrorism?

Afghan President Hamid Karzai has branded the Taliban's 18-hour siege of Kabul and places across eastern Afghanistan on Sunday an intelligence failure and called for an investigation into NATO security operations.
U.S. Department of Defense
According to statistics recently released by the Pentagon, the problem of sexual assault in the military is not getting any better.
The Pentagon knows it. The world's largest insurers know it. Now, governments may be overthrown because of it. It is climate change, and it is real.
Remember the name Khalid Sheik Mohammed? KSM, as he became known in the years after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, is still accused of masterminding those attacks a decade later and is still being detained at Guantanamo Bay, but Wednesday brought news of movement in his case.
White House / Pete Souza
European missile defense against the threat of hypothetical Iranian nuclear missile attack is a make-work project for the American aerospace industry and always has been.
If the foreign adversaries and competitors of the United States imagined a future that would fulfill their most ambitious objectives, it might begin with a government crippled by the House Republican leadership's "Ryan budget" released on Tuesday.
U.S. Air Force / Senior Airman David Carbajal
Terminating the Afghanistan War and ending the global projection of American military power of which it is a part are indispensable steps to saving the nation.
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.
For everyone who originally supported the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan to oust the Taliban, the question today is how what was once a righteous mission can end in anything but ruin.
U.S. Navy / MC1 Chad J. McNeeley
The two most recent American wars, in Iraq and Afghanistan, have failed or are disastrously failing. The United States is being pressed to launch two new wars. There is little public support for any of the four.
AP / Rafiq Maqbool
It was clear before Sunday's horrific massacre of civilians that it's past time for the U.S. mission in Afghanistan to end.

The Supreme Court is expected to uphold the use of the Espionage Act of 1917 to punish those who expose war crimes and state lies.

Many people know Daniel Ellsberg exposed the lies the U.S. government used to justify the Vietnam War. What many don't know is that he was also a gung-ho, Cold War analyst who participated in them.

There can be little doubt that government retaliation against whistle-blowers is not an isolated event, nor even an agency-by-agency practice. The number of cases in play suggests an organized strategy to deprive Americans of knowledge of the more disreputable things their government does.

After deciding that its current arsenal lacks a non-nuclear bomb powerful enough to tear through 200 feet of mountaintop and obliterate Iran's subterranean Fodrow nuclear enrichment facility, the Pentagon has asked Boeing Co. to make a conventional weapon equal to the task.

When it came to rolling out a new 10-year plan for the future of the U.S. military recently, President Obama was at the top of his game.
The Afghan government's order a week ago to the United States to close its prison at Bagram Air Base near Kabul, where it holds unidentified prisoners, came as a shock to Washington.
RJ Matson, Cagle Cartoons, The St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Republicans weren't the only ones irked at our nation's leader this week. President Obama has also ruffled some feathers in the Chinese government with his newly hatched military strategy, which he announced in a rare news conference at the Pentagon on Thursday, and which apparently strikes the Chinese as a potentially unwelcome display of U.S. prowess on their side of the globe.

U.S. Air Force / Tech. Sgt. Michael Holzworth
Better to let Iraq blow itself apart than inflict the kind of policies that have, as most commentators refuse to acknowledge, plagued the country's entire, sorry history.
AP / Pablo Martinez Monsivais
On Thursday, President Obama dropped in at the Pentagon to outline some sizable changes he's making to America's defense strategy in this last year of his first elected term. His plans will no doubt lay him open to criticism on the campaign trail, but at least it seems to make room for the possibility of focusing funds on the home front.

The clear crossover vote-getter issue on which Ron Paul has differed from the rest of the candidate crowd is war: his hostility to the commitment of both Democratic and Republican administrations to prosecuting undeclared war in the Middle East, South Asia and elsewhere.

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.
What's alarming is the ease with which an otherwise deadlocked Congress that can't manage minimal funding for job creation passes a bill that threatens the foundations of our republican form of government.

As the Arab Spring blossomed and President Obama hesitated about whether to speak out in favor of protesters seeking democratic change in the Greater Middle East, the Pentagon forged ever deeper ties with some of the region's most repressive regimes.

The downing of a sophisticated U.S. RQ-170 Sentinel drone over Iran is the latest ratcheting of tension among Washington, Tehran and Jerusalem.

Uzbekistan President Islam Karimov is notorious for heading one of the world's most oppressive regimes, and millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars are being given to a for-profit military contractor turned propaganda machine to make sure he remains a faithful and able ally in the global war on terror.
One might think that a bitter Central Asian war in Afghanistan and an ambiguous commitment to Iraq would be enough for President Barack Obama to cope with.
There are people on the right capable of arithmetic, but anyone who calls for revenue out loud is branded a heretic in Republican circles, where tax cuts are not a matter of policy but of faith.
As someone who has been running for president for many years, Romney should by now know something about foreign policy and he should know where he stands.
On Monday, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen paid a visit to Libya to announce the end of the military campaign that began seven months ago and culminated in the death of Col. Moammar Gadhafi on Oct. 20.

President Obama will be able to say that he kept one of his promises from the '08 campaign trail come Dec. 31 of this year, when all but 160 American troops will leave Iraq after more than eight years of heavy military involvement (read: war) in the Middle Eastern nation. (more)

Good day,
I wonder if someone could help.
I have set up my multisite network and anticipate we will be using around 5 mapped domains / sites within it.
I wish to use the same theme throughout but add child themes for each so I can alter the look and feel of each site accordingly.
The solution in my head is to install master theme and network activate it, then copy my child theme and rename x5 folders: childtheme1, childtheme2, childtheme3, childtheme4, childtheme5.
Upload and assign each one to suited domain/network site.
Is this the correct way or am I way off the mark.
Any contribution greatly received.

Toyota: Unbreakable
Take Toyota Hilux's brand promise "Unbreakable" to a new generation of consumers. Encourage these consumers to visit the showroom and/or arrange a test drive.
Develop a screensaver, using the motion sensor built into the latest generation of laptops, to deliver a truly interactive experience and demonstrate the "unbreakability" of the 2008 Hilux. Distribute this to a database of potential Hilux buyers, and encourage them to forward it onto their friends. This allowed users to click through and arrange a test drive at their local dealership.
Marked increase (above 60% in some areas) in Hilux enquiries reported by dealerships. Corresponding increase in actual test drives. Informal dealer feedback described the campaign as "compelling", "entertaining", "very engaging" and "really helps to reinforce that a Hilux is unbreakable".

This is a bigger hoax than the chupacabras. The motion sensor in MacBooks is for protection of the hard disk drive in case of a violent shake or fall. Not for maneuvering like it's a PS3 controller. This would be good in an ideal world, but not in Ads of the world. This sucks!!!
Well, for a hoax, it works pretty well.
The motion sensor CAN be used like a ps3 controller.
Check here:
I tried it with my own Toyota Hilux and who is going to pay for the damage? You?

|[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-821) single norm file still uses up descriptors
|Sun, 04 Mar 2007 08:02:50 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-821?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12477759 ] Michael McCandless commented on LUCENE-821: ------------------------------------------- > The reason is predictability... since you don't know what queries are coming, you don't know when that descriptor will be closed, and hence need to plan for the upper bound on descriptor usage anyway. Agreed, the upper bound is what counts here, so it's not much help to reduce by one at some random later time. > single norm file still uses up descriptors > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: LUCENE-821 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-821 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Yonik Seeley > Assigned To: Yonik Seeley > Attachments: norms.patch > > > The new index file format with a single .nrm file for all norms does not decrease file descriptor usage. > The .nrm file is opened once for each field with norms in the index segment. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: email@example.com For additional commands, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
