Re: Discuss fighters Jones Jr ducked in his prime
Dariusz Michalczewski & Graciano Rocchigianni.
Hi mate,
Go to post 78 on this thread to read about DM.
Roch was supposed to be fighting Roy in 2000, and Telesco was Roy's replacement.
I was hoping to see Roy Jones Jr fight these two guys even if it meant him going to their yards to get the job done. Thought Roy should have braved up and cleaned up the division with fights against each. They didn't have to be in close proximity to one another but he should have these guys on his resume.
Would have also been nice to be talking about Jones' trilogies with Toney and Hopkins. Easily could have happened with both. 3 fights total is not satisfactory especially with one a rematch that came decades past the due date.
This doesn't make an ounce of sense to me. How could Roy have had a trilogy with Toney and Hopkins? Unless you think that Hop would have won an earlier rematch, it doesn't make sense.
Trilogies come when two fighters have a close fight, and then there's a call for a rematch. If both fighters are 1-1 then a rubber match is the decider, or they may have been controversy surrounding the result.
Roy embarrassed James Toney. There was no need to fight him again. I think if he had have done, then the result would have been the same, if Roy was peak.
But there was never any need to rematch him in the first place. I respect your opinion, but I can't understand your thinking.
Chris Byrd is another guy I would have liked to have seen him fight too. Two guys with different use of speed and tactics, angles and counter punches.
I think that would have been an intruiging fight.
Regards, Loudon.

From my understanding, it depends on what part of CA your in on the ability to get a permit. Areas like Los Angles and San Francisco are nearly impossible for the average person. Get out of the major county's and it becomes easier.
I hope the job is a REALLY good job. While you may be making 3 times what you are in NC, your cost of living out there will more than eat that increase in pay.

Rig Growth in Africa, Mideast Exceeding Asia, Baker Hughes Says
Energy explorers deployed rigs at a faster pace in Africa and the Middle East in July, while drilling in Asia contracted, according to data compiled by Baker Hughes Inc.
Rigs used in Africa have announced gas discoveries, totaled 105 last month, up 72 percent from a year earlier, Baker Hughes, an oilfield-services company, said on its website. Drilling equipment in the Middle East rose 40 percent, while rigs in Asia shrunk 4.5 percent.
There were 401 rigs operating on land and sea in the Middle East, excluding Iraq, up from 287 a year earlier, according to the data. Asia had 233 in operation last month, compared with 244 a year earlier.
The total international rig count excluding the U.S. and Canada stood at 1,264, compared with 1,150 a year earlier, Baker Hughes said. The figures include offshore and onshore drill sites and exclude those in Iran and onshore in China.

- Hadji gets a couple for "The Alchemist". The first comes when a scaffolding collapses around him. Jonny and Jessie inform Hadji that they're going on ahead.
Hadji: Oh Hadji, are you alright? Not hurt or anything are you my friend? No, Jonny. I am perfectly alright. Several iron pipes have just played Big Noise from Winetka upon my head, but fortunately, I wear a turban.
Hadji: Ah. Hobson's Choice, I see..
- The second comes when Hadji is being held at gunpoint and instructed to execute the alchemy routine on the computer. When informed that if he doesn't cooperate, Jonny, Jessie, and himself will be shot and killed, he smirks, and puts his finger on the gun's muzzle.
- In "Ghost Quest", after Jonny and Jessie were made to kiss through spectral possession, they've escaped the island just as it vanished. Jonny notes that the clock on the ship is showing the same time as their arrival on the island hours ago, Jessie gets a golden one.
Jessie: Time stood still for me, too, Jonny.
- "Manhattan Maneater" reveals that Race Bannon is Genre Savvy enough that he might as well set his watch by the Quest's activities.
Race: Wanna join 'em?Jessie:We can?Race: Sure. With Jonny and Benton's track record, it's a buck to a bent dime that they'll be needing us to pull their fat out of the fire sometime in the next twelve hours.
- "Return of the Anasazi" has Jessie critiquing Jonny's piloting skills.
Jonny: Relax. I've flown hundreds of hours with your Dad.Jessie: Yeah, but how many have you flown without him ?
Jessie: Rotate, Jonny. Rotate.
- And as Jonny tries to take off:
Jessie: How many hours did you say you'd flown with my Dad?Jonny: Hey, even monkeys fall out of trees, sometimes.Jessie: What's that supposed to mean?Jonny: Ask Hadji. It's one of his.
- And finally, as Jonny "lands" the plane and it flips upside down.
- In "Expedition to Khumbu", after freeing Jonny and Hadji from a cage dangling over a cliff, climbing back up the rope to help her Dad pull them to safety, Jessie snarks at Jonny and Hadji.
Jessie: I thought you guys would be lighter.Hadji: Ah, but you see, we are heavy. With Wisdom.
- In "Alligators and Okeechobee Vikings", Hadji claims that it is Against his religion to be eaten by reptiles.

Economics may be the proverbial "dismal science," but to my mind it's lost out bigtime toanother: Politics! What could be "dismaler" than the spectacle daily confronting us, politelycalled a presidential campaign? And what could be more unaccountable than the obsessiveattention being lavished, by otherwise sensible millions, on this civic freakshow? It's a trial, going on being a responsible citizen, all the while in terror of being tarred by the touch of the political tarbaby. As President Reagan said of his signing the MLK holiday bill, come election day I "hold my nose" and, as good as blindfolded and dizzy, try to pin the tail on the least-asinine of the choices, the lesser of the two obvious evils.
Contrary to popular imagining, it's nothing new under our political sun. The dismalness ofAmerican political life is as old as the country. The two Adamses are perhaps the archetypes of the off-noted phenomenon of "decent people," "the best people," either voluntarily pulling out of American public life on account of its unsavoriness, or being hounded out, leaving the field tothe "worst," to the unscrupulous and nasty. Tom Jefferson himself led the pack, turning scurrilous scribbler James Callender loose on the likes of Hamilton. "St. Thomas of Cantingbury," as John Randolph called him, would be right at home raking today's muck.
Those of the "progressive" persuasion (such as this newspaper's "house liberal") clearly arecertain Ecclesiastes had it all wrong, that that which has been isn't that which shall be at all,that things have gotten worse in our lifetimes. "They do not inquire correctly concerning this," saith the preacher. "Vanity [futility] of vanities," he'd say of their passion for passing judgment on current events. Leave it to history! History itself has a hard enough time of it.
"The terrible simplifiers," Burkhardt called such passers ofjudgment. The current form oftheir terrible simplifying of the terrible complexity that is life seems to be: "George W. Bushand Co. are devils. Just rid us of them, and the millennium will have arrived!" Much the same their forerunners have said of the 40 other presidents. Everybody's hero Harry Truman suffered just about the same unpopularity, even hatred, as George W. Suggesting that, should things in Iraq turn out half as well as Truman's "containment of communism," egad! Bush just might wind up right alongside Harry as a "near-great!" Nobody knows what's just over the hill. The future can't be extrapolated from this morning's news.
The past, on the other hand, is an open book, at least for those who can read, read beyond the adolescent bounds of "FYI." Warren Harding, that liberal's b'te noire, perhaps wasn't such a villain after all; he just couldn't say no to his villainous friends. His sainted predecessor Wilson, on the other hand, in the conclusions of many, did the country irreparable harm, thrusting us into a really needless war and starting the gummint on its way to the present tyranny.
Have you ever stopped to note: In 200 years of our vaunted "democracy" we've managed to wind up with almost exactly the same grab-bag of dullards, disasters, doers, and decent nonentities as any monarchy, limited or otherwise. Heredity, it turns out, is no whit worse a leadership crapshoot than universal suffrage, Nietzsche's "this mania for counting noses." Behold what the current nose-counting binge is bringing us. Is this lineup of mendacious nitwits the best we can do? A harridan who wants to be our physician and financial trust officer, as well as our president. An old soldier with the foreign-policy experience of being a prisoner of war, and whose solution to the world's ills is to let 'em all in, wholesale (never mind they'll vote Democratic; our gated communities need gardeners and housemaids!).
Ah, and last if not least, there's Osama bin Obama, or whatever. Whose curriculum vitae is a blank slate. Whose foreign-policy experience consists of modeling the quaint colorful getup of his paternal fatherland, whose late presidential contest was decided via machete. Who got his religion, he says, from one whose gospel seems to be not the familiar "Christ and Him crucified" but rather something like "America and crucify it!" All of which adds up, mystifyingly, to something called "charisma!" Which sounds like what would make a good Hollywood celeb but not a personage we'll be sending out to save and defend us in a worldful of sharks.
Worst of all, he's not only busily "ringing the changes" on "change," that political inanity I've bemoaned more than once before. He's made it his very theme! Like Vivaldi, who (say the uncharitable) wrote one concerto 500 times, Obama's spouted his one speech 500 times already, and counting. No, it's not that bravura boilerplate about "race" at all. Nothing so concrete, so specific. It's about... what else? "Change!" "This is the greatest, the most perfect country in the world!" so it goes, if a trifle paradoxically, "So let's all join hands and pull together to change it!" A pundit calls Obama's slogans "the most interesting" of the campaign; he's made a dialog of them: Obama's creed: "Yes, we can!" Citizen: "Can what?" "Hope." "Hope for what?" "For change!" Obama signs read: "Change we can believe in!" As opposed, the pundit guesses, to unbelievable changes. Which, indeed, would include Hillary's.
And otherwise sane folks, mobs of them, actually swoon over such stuff! Deaf to the obvious fact that "change can be for the better or the worse." They "confuse change with improvement, fail to weigh its costs and benefits, or consider its unintended consequences. [Democrats] ask us to embrace change for its own sake." The saving grace (if any) is that what candidates say bears no relation whatsoever to what they'll do, what they'll find they can or can't do, once in office.
Politics isn't a science after all, then, dismal or no. It's too inexact. It's an art. A dismal one! In the pejorative sense of "the black arts." Witchcraft. Hucksterism. Swindling.
I think I'll wear earplugs and blinders till election day, then hold my nose and pin the tail on the most changeless beast on the ballot. And all real animals hate change! To improve on Obama: Despite the damage the change-aholics have already done, it's the most wonderful, perfectest country. So let's all join hands and pull together to keep it that way!

Brief Synopsis
To better understand the PLA's ability to employ its developing capabilities in a variety of potential scenarios, this year's workshop examined how the PLA learns by doing, specifically through its exercises and noncombat operations at home and overseas, and through key logistical and theoretical developments. Key findings are: 1) recent PLAN exercises and operations point to an increasing interest in developing expeditionary naval capabilities and a presence in distant seas, suggesting that a move beyond the current "near seas" focus is both possible and an extension of existing efforts; 2) PLA ground force exercises—rather than aiming to intimidate others by demonstrating the ability to project power beyond China's borders—focus on moving military power within China, both to defend China's borders and perhaps as a prelude to military restructuring in which smaller but more mobile formations could replace larger and more static ones; 3) through its participation in international military exercises as well as peacekeeping operations and humanitarian aid and disaster relief missions, the PLA is gaining greater capabilities to deploy outside of China's borders for a variety of missions; and, 4) PLA operations are increasingly supported by a modern, civilian-integrated military logistics network, though a lack of overseas bases continues to limit the effectiveness of this network as it pertains to overseas power projection capabilities.

post here if you beat COD 3 on veteran
View Single Post
Join Date: Jan 2010

View My Profile
I just beat Call of Duty 3 on veteran today and I have to say it was definitely one of the harder to beat in the series. I only did about 2 or 3 missions a day to avoid disliking the game to the point where I simply didn't want to even put it in my 360.
Advice for those in the process or looking to complete this game:
I think the most difficult part of this game is simply the amount of time and objectives that must be completed in between each check point. I often found myself repeating certain sections five or six times which I successfully completed the first time through just because the last objective before the checkpoint is triggered was very difficult and I died without knowing exactly what to do. I think I still managed to beat the game in about 5 or 6 days but all I can really reinforce is patience. If you have the patience to try over and over you will be able to beat the game on veteran. Some parts seem very lucky and some parts I simply would take cover and let the seemingly useless AI cover me for a certain amount of time triggering new objectives, other times I would simply rush the AI and try to complete objectives early instead of waiting to kill seemingly endless chains of enemies. It's all about experimenting with certain situations and seeing what works. If you die going to the left 5 times in a row try going to the right, or if you just can't seem to stay alive when you physically try to thin out herds of enemies simply take cover and leave your xbox for 15 minutes to take a break. Come back in 15 and see if the AI has thinned the enemies enough for you to progress. Lastly, as I just mentioned it a little in the previous statement don't forget to take breaks. If you are stuck on a certain checkpoint do not be afraid to turn off your xbox and pick it up later. It really helps to just take a break and try it again later.
That is my two cents on the game and if you have any questions about specific parts of the game feel free to message me over live and I can try and let you know how I progressed past certain parts of the game.

A police prosecutor who used methamphetamine and posted
photographs of his drug use online has been struck off as a
Brent William Thomson was ordered to be struck off by the The
New Zealand Lawyers and Conveyancers Disciplinary Tribunal
after he admitted a charge brought by the Law Society.
The charge was that he had been convicted of offences
punishable by imprisonment and the convictions tended to
reflect on his fitness to practise, or tended to bring his
profession into disrepute, Law Society president Chris Moore
Thomson was convicted of use and possession of
methamphetamine and possession of cannabis. He had pleaded
guilty to the offences and was convicted and fined $450 at a
sentencing in January.
The tribunal accepted that the drugs were for his personal
use and the offending occurred in his personal time, Mr Moore
It said a concerning aspect of the offending was that Thomson
was employed as a police prosecutor at the time, he said.
He had also posted videos of his drug use on a website.
While Thomson had fully cooperated with all investigations
and admitted guilt at the earliest possible opportunity, no
penalty short of striking off would properly reflect the
seriousness or protect the public, in the absence of reliable
material to suggest another rehabilitative course, Mr Moore
"Lawyers must appreciate that they are required to maintain
high standards of behaviour in their personal lives as well
as professionally.
"Anyone who fails in this lets down the whole legal
Thomson was a prosecutor based at Auckland central police
station at the time of the offending.

Skip to comments.Gibson Competitor is Dem Donor;Uses Same Wood, ExperiencedNo Federal Raids
Posted on 08/27/2011 10:52:16 PM PDT by Nachum
Via Andrew Lawton at Landmark Report: One of Gibsons leading competitors is C.F. Martin & Company. The C.E.O., Chris Martin IV, is a long-time Democratic supporter, with $35,400 in contributions to Democratic candidates and the DNC over the past couple of elections (though, to be fair, he did donate a whopping $750 to Republican Congressmen in the 90s.) According to C.F. Martins catalog, several of their guitars contain ''East Indian Rosewood.' In case you were wondering, that is the exact same wood in at least ten of Gibsons guitars. If true, it adds another piece to an increasingly disturbing puzzle.
(Excerpt) Read more at bighollywood.breitbart.com ...
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Martin makes an excellent acoustic guitar but I wouldn't call them a "leading competitor" of Gibson. Martin's annual gross sales wouldn't make a rounding error on Gibson's books.
Does this mean I have to turn in my Les Paul or risk having Customs bust my door down?
Just get a tele and call it a day.
The rumor that seems to best suggest the reason for the problem is that Gibson, being unable to get the kind of finish they want on the rare rosewood from woodworkers in India, reprocesses the pieces in the USA. India had no complaints — its rule that rosewood imported from India must be finished in India had been met, and an Indian woodworker has a job — but some trouble maker (probably not connected with Martin) still claimed Gibson had violated the Lacey act.
"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
Daniel Webster
US gov't resources being used on behalf of Indian law? What a political vendetta. Obama, you suck.
I guess Gibson had better get their heads on straight and start spreading some of the love in 2012.
It is after all, an election year. :)
"Just get a tele and call it a day."
YES! I have 5 Teles! There's an old SG in a closet somewhere. I abdo-lutely hate the sound of humbucking pickups! The only Gibson pickup worth a damn is a P-90!
I love my Martin, I now feel dirty playing it.
Careful1! Obama will "Redistribute" those Teles' to the Fenderless!
Or just get a Charvel Model 5FX W/Floyd like me and call it good ;)
Welcome to fascism-Democrat style.
Any history book will tell you how this works, folks
I've heard it said that part of the reason a Stradivarius is a Stradivarius is the finish.
Not hard to imagine these modern bureaucrats trying to tell Antonio Stradivari how he must make violins.
Gibson Guitar CEO: We're Under Attack By Obama Administration
In the immortal words of Johnny Chung:
"I see the White House is like a subway, you have to put in coins to open the gates."
What was true during the Clinton years is true even more today.
No, it means donate to the Democraps or risk having Customs bust your door down. If not the Les Paul, they'll come up with something else.
I've heard it said that part of the reason a Stradivarius is a Stradivarius is the finish.
It's been documented that the reason a Strad sounds the way it does is because of the aging process of the wood ,, a fungus attacked the wood store used at the strad workshop,, a fungus that only eats the center of each cell leaving the walls (and therefore the strength) intact... The wood was as strong as before but much lighter and therefore reacts with more brilliance and amplitude.
Instruments created today with similar wood sound fabulous.
"Just get a tele and call it a day."
Mass produced in Mexico.
If true, it adds another piece to an increasingly disturbing puzzle.
No puzzle, just Chicagoland shakedown and politics.
It means you ought to be real careful about bringing it out of the country.
Gibson Competitor is Dem Donor; Uses Same Wood, Experienced No Federal Raids
One of Gibsons leading competitors is C.F. Martin & Company....
Dear new media Bloggers, please stop this error in your reporting>
C.F. Martin is Not a competitor - leading or otherwise - of Gibson Guitars, honest. Really. Do some fact checking.
C.F. Martin makes Acoustic Guitars, exclusively, and darn good ones. Gibson makes *mostly* Electric Guitars, and darn good ones.
The real "leading competitor" to Gibson Guitar and their Les Paul and 'SG' models is Fender Guitar Co and their Electric Guitars like the Stratocaster and Telecaster models. Gibson also makes great semi-hollow body electrics like the ES-335 'dot', and BB King's ES-345 'Lucille'.
I'm not saying Gibson is NOT unfairly being singled out by the G, while Martin is getting a pass for using the same exotic woods. But please Blogger guys, stop with the 'leading competitor' stuff. Okay?
an aside;
Many famous 'Rock Guitar gods' like Eric Clapton start out playing a Gibson Les Paul. But then later switch to the Fender 'Strat' for the different sound it makes a from the Les Paul. Every guitar has its own sound, something my wife 'can't get' and wonders why I need Six Guitars. (actually Five. I have a Takamine acoustic I haven't touched for yeeears and want to sell)
Only play country music on it that ought to piss off the dems
Remember when the feds took over GM and Chrysler and the new Auto Czar took his little list and shut down thousands of dealerships around the country and surprise? surprise?, yep, 99.5% of them were GOP donors?
The same thing is at work here except on a smaller scale.
Uncle Joe Stalin would be proud of the Obama Administration. Proud! The only thing missing is sending political opponents off to the gulags and who knows how far behind that is at this point? From the sounds of it, not far. The DOJ is behind this trumped up outrage and everybody knows who is the prosecutor for the federal prison system!
I remember a college roommate who played a Yamaha 12 string. He finally saved enough to buy a Martin 12 string. What an amazing difference.
No, you can pay a fine and get grandfathered in. Make your check out for $2,000 and submit it to "Democratic National Committee, Washington, DC...."
No, that's actually their position. Committing an act that is against the law of another country is a US crime! Bizarre. Makes a mockery of the whole concept of jurisdiction. What if Uzbekistan outlaws Islam? Or tyranny, for that matter? Are they gonna go arrest The Won?
Yeah, that's like going from a Mustang to a Lamborghini
The DOJ should just cut the BS and cite Gibson for their REAL "crime"-—Failure to contribute to the DNC.
There's a grain of truth to that, though I don't know of anyone who has been able to prove he has duplicated the finish of these famous violins.
However, it's not uncommon to find that when a newly built, unfinished violin is tested before finishing, the tester reports it sounds better than the typical finished violin.
As they say...get a Mexican made Fender made by Mexicans or get an American made Fender made by Mexicans.
I'm already there bro!
Holy cow! You can't even be a gee-tar playin' hippie without worrying that your axe is doing irreparable harm to Mudder Erf!
Or better yet, a Bösendorfer Imperial! :-)
The Tyrants AG: Laws and American economy matter not.
HE is your King."
Nah, if anyone's looking for an alternative to a Les Paul, they should look at Yamaha's SG(SBG)2000. Amazing, amazing guitar, and I finally got my hands on one of the reissues several years ago.
I've traded many guitars over the years, including great Gibson LPs and SGs, but I would NEVER let go of the Yamaha.
All the best to Gibson, though, and I hope they kick the Obama DOJ's arse in court.
The point of this raid was to deliver a messageand teach a lesson. Expect to see more of the same as election day 2012 gets closer.
and people wonder why those CEOs came out publicly and stated they would not support any pro-American, pro-business candidates. They don't want to suffer this fate.
We are a BANANA REPUBLIC.....with NO bananas.
This is atlas shrugged.
On steroids.
Very similar to the repeated investigations vs. Toyota after the 0bama Regime took control of GM. Of COURSE it's all coincidence... /s
Made in the USA.
Great guitar -- had one (350) for about 10 years, but rarely picked it up, unfortunately. Still prefer the tone and sustain of the SG2000 -- it's the best guitar I've ever owned.
Doesn't Fender use the same rosewood Gibson uses?

Dear Alice,
I've been going out with a girl here at my school for the past six months. Last weekend I went home (out of state), and fooled around with an ex-girlfriend. She called me last night and told me that she might have an STI. She went to the doctor this week and told me she would let me know when she finds out for sure. We didn't use a condom.
My problem is, what should I tell my girlfriend? I really love her and don't want to ruin things because of this stupid fling I had. But I can tell she's annoyed that I've avoided her all weekend. I can't exactly tell her next time we get together that I don't feel like fooling around, but I don't know how long it will be before I know if I'm infected. And what do I do if I am? Help!
— Desperate
Dear Desperate,
Nobody said relationships were easy, so hang in there. This is a difficult situation and unfortunately, there is no simple solution. First and foremost, it's a good idea to take matters into your own hands and schedule an appointment for a full STI checkup rather than waiting for your ex to get back to you. Although your heart may be hurting, your physical health also needs a checkup.
Since you're concered, you should make an appointment with your health care provider. At this appointment you may want to explain your recent experience to your health care provider, your reason for concern, and any specific info your ex-girlfriend may have given you (e.g., what STI she may have and what symptom(s) she is experiencing). Once you get tested, no matter what the outcome, you will at least relieve some anxiety just by knowing what you're dealing with.
As for how, when, and whether to tell your present girlfriend about your ex and your STI concerns, it's probably best to be honest in this situation. It may not be easy, but in order to protect her health and to relieve some of the anxiety you're experiencing, an honest conversation is important. Although she may become angry or upset with you, not telling her could lead to bigger issues down the road. Many other readers have had questions about communicating with partners. Check out the Go Ask Alice! Relationships archive for more information and resources.
Before you initiate the conversation you may want to think about how your girlfriend may feel when you tell her so you can prepare for any reaction. She may angry, hurt, jealous, or scared. Or perhaps she will be forgiving and understanding. Consider thinking about your actions before talking with her — why did you want to hook up with your ex? Why didn't you use protection? How will you prevent this from happening in the future? Preparing for these questions should help you talk with your girlfriend openly and honestly.
The past is done and now you can only control your actions from here on out. Take care of your health and consider being honest with your girlfriend. Relationships have survived far worse.Alice!

Beginning in September of 2011, a Strategic Planning Team -- comprised of representatives drawn from our six communities, the staff, the school board, and the administration - convened to lead a process focused on developing a five-year strategic plan for our newly consolidated school district.
Areas of focus highlighted in the planning process included: teaching and learning; recruitment, retention, and evaluation of staff; financial matters; facilities; community engagement; and long-range development. The Strategic Planning Team also solicited a wide range of input from community and faculty members through surveys; parent, faculty and student meetings; and open community forums.
The resulting plan was adopted by the RSU 13 School Board by a unanimous vote at its regular meeting on March 7, 2013, and now stands as a blueprint for action in identifying priorities and establishing credible work plans for guiding the district toward excellence over the next five years. Importantly, the plan also is designed to be updated periodically with indicators of progress included in the strategic plan section – Measuring Our Progress and Effectiveness (pages 21-28).

From the political notebook:
* Gov. Jan Brewer and her allies have a very good case, in fact an overwhelming one, to make for her Medicaid expansion plan on the merits. Overall, the plan will spend less in state and local public resources to bring in considerably more in federal funds and provide far more extensive health care coverage to far more low-income Arizonans.
Unless you believe that Arizona should bear a disproportionate burden in reducing federal debt, there's not much of a substantive argument against it.
However, the political argument being made for the Medicaid expansion ain't so hot.
Grassroots Republican groups are up in arms against it, threatening GOP lawmakers who vote for it with primaries. Brewer and her allies say, not to worry. They cite three reasons:
1) Surveys indicate that Republican voters either support or at least aren't adamantly opposed to the expansion.
2) The business community will spend beaucoup bucks defending Republican legislators who vote for the expansion and face a primary challenge.
3) Brewer is wildly popular with GOP voters and will rescue anyone so threatened. Just look at what a huge success the 2010 election was for Republicans after lawmakers voted to refer her temporary tax increase to the ballot.
These are mostly hollow reassurances.
An opponent in a Republican primary will have a simple and powerful political message: The incumbent voted to implement Obamacare in Arizona. And that's true enough for campaign rhetoric purposes. If the launch of Obamacare is as messy and disruptive as I suspect, that might be an even more toxic association than it is now.
The surveys purporting to show Republican support for the plan are testing policy arguments, not campaign messages. There really isn't a taut response to the "you supported implementing Obamacare" charge.
Promises of campaign finance support should always be hugely discounted. And legislative Republican primaries can be won without spending a lot of money.
The notion that Brewer has coattails or can bestow a cloak of political invulnerability to other candidates is particularly far-fetched. Barack Obama, not Jan Brewer, was responsible for the oversized Republican victories in 2010. It happened all across the country.
It's easier to threaten a primary challenge than to execute one. And a legislative seat shouldn't be worth trimming your sails for.
Nevertheless, this is a potentially high-risk vote for Republican legislators.
* Supporters of public campaign financing in Arizona have threatened to sue to prevent the legislation signed last week by Brewer to substantially increase private campaign contribution limits from going into effect. They don't have much of an argument.
The initiative approved by voters establishing Arizona's system of public campaign financing, Clean Elections, included a provision that reduced private campaign contribution limits by 20 percent. Another approved initiative, the Voter Protection Act, says that legislators cannot "amend" a ballot proposition approved by the voters except with a three-fourths vote and to further the measure's purpose.
According to public finance supporters, the purpose of the Clean Elections initiative was to encourage the use of public financing and discourage reliance on private campaign contributions. Substantially increasing what can be raised from private contributions without also substantially increasing the allotment for publicly financed candidates is contrary to the purpose of the initiative. And it didn't pass by a three-fourths vote in any event.
That's all true. But here's the legal hole in the argument. The bill increasing private contribution limits didn't "amend" the Clean Elections initiative. It didn't change a single word.
The Clean Elections initiative did not set a limit on private campaign contributions. It simply said that the limit established elsewhere in state law was to be reduced by 20 percent. The Legislature increased the referenced amount but didn't change a word of the initiative.
Convincing a court that something has been "amended" when not a word has been changed, or that the Voter Protection Act freezes not only what is actually in the ballot proposition but all other state law to which it refers or relates, will be a tall order.

Wendy Andringa
Landscape architect thinks vertical with Green Walls
Posted July 2013
Wendy Andringa, a senior landscape architect, works at the forefront of public and residential projects in New York City and beyond but it was her interest in designing plantscapes in challenging growing conditions that led her to create Greenlab Studio.
Greenlab Studio is an experimental laboratory that designs, builds and tests green walls, which are basically vertical versions of the more widely used green roof concept. "I wanted to make things and test ideas that I had," Andringa said.
Conducting the research on green walls also helped keep her creative process fresh and active.
"When you're spending as much time as landscape architects do in the office doing drawings, it's good to get out of the office environment to keep your creativity active," she said.
Andringa (MLA, 2004) started Greenlab Studio in 2011 while working in Colorado. Because green walls are vertical structures, they present different challenges than those of traditional horizontal green roofs.
"Green walls are tricky," she said. "The technology is still kind of young and there is a high failure rate that I was curious about." Andringa began building modules and testing them, looking at issues such as drainage and how to get water to the plants. "There are a number of practical concerns," she noted.
When Andringa returned to New York City in 2012 to work as a senior landscape architect at Starr Whitehouse, she brought her research lab with her and expanded it to include more general design research.
"I think the (plantscape) research applies better in New York - there's more practical use," she said. "Colorado is so abundantly green, the beautiful landscape is all around you. What I'm doing applies more to urban environments."
During her time at ESF, Andringa had no idea she would branch off in the direction she eventually followed. " I knew I was going to work in New York City and I never thought I'd leave, but I'm so glad I did. I'm so glad I took that opportunity (to move to Colorado)," she said.
"Going out of your comfort zone puts you in a different mindset where you're willing to try different things," she said. "I was in a new environment with what seemed like unlimited space and resources so I just did it."
Andringa returned to ESF in spring 2013 to participate in the Department of Landscape Architecture's program, "Epicenter: 9 alumni chart their professional trajectories," where she shared her experiences with current LA students.

Yuma Sun, Jared Dort, Associated Press
YUMA, Ariz. — The adrenaline was pumping. He was emotional, yet zoned in on the task at hand.
Juan Dominguez was at the starting line, moments away from achieving his dream of riding an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) in the SCORE Baja 1000 off-road race.
But there was just one tiny thing the then 19-year-old Yuman resident forgot to mention to team captain Brad McLean before the start of the race.
Dominguez didn't tell McLean he could see only out of one eye.
It was Jan. 30, 1998 — the day of Vicente Dominguez's, Juan's father, birthday. Juan, then 7 years old, was playing kickball in the front yard with other family members.
During the game, an ice cream van and its melody of tunes passed by.
When the van stopped to serve its customers, Juan and a cousin thought it was cool to hop on the back of the vehicle. But when the ice cream vendor finished, only the cousin jumped off the van.
Juan said he held on to the van's handlebars to avoid falling off. It turned out to be a bad idea.
"As I was on the back of the ice cream truck, two (teenagers) were shooting some BB guns out there in my neighborhood," Juan said. "One of the kids decided to shoot the ice cream truck. He ended up shooting me in my right eye."
When Juan's father heard what had happened, he rushed to his son's aid.
"When he came back, my dad was like all panicky," said Alonzo Dominguez, Juan's older brother. "He's like, 'Get in the car, get in the car.' I saw my brother with a towel all red full of blood."
X-rays revealed the BB entered Juan's head.
"The BB went all the way almost to the brain," said Marina Dominguez, Juan's mother. "It was removed, (doctors) said, with a magnet."
The only thing Juan said he remembered about the disastrous day was that he didn't stop crying for a couple of hours.
For about four years afterward, Juan used a prosthetic over his crippled right eye until the age of 11, when it was removed after he had an eye implant.
"It feels like nothing is there. It's like amazing. When I had my eye, I used to have pain all the time."
Juan gradually began living a normal life. Attending Cibola High, he played varsity baseball his senior year and he became more social and made friends. But since many can't tell he has a prosthetic eye, Juan said he usually doesn't tell his friends about it until he has confidence in them. And if his friends don't believe him, all he has to do is take off his prescription glasses and tap the prosthetic, which makes a knocking sound.
"They freak out," Juan said.
Alonzo attended the Baja 500 in 2006. He liked it so much, he persuaded his brother to attend the Baja 1000 with him. Like his older sibling, Juan fell in love with the sport, particularly the ATV division.
Little did they know those races would change their lives as two years later, they embarked on a racing career.
The brothers started Pirrunas Racing team and in their first race, the San Luis 250 at San Luis Rio Colorado, they finished seventh out of 25 entries.
Alonzo, however, admitted he had doubts whether his younger brother could succeed racing with just one eye. But he said he also remembered how well his younger brother rode ATVs in the sand dunes with limited vision.
"I knew it was going to affect me but I looked at it like, 'If they can do it, why can't I?'" Juan said. "I have a disability and I got to live with that. I make my only eye work as if I had two eyes."

Giuliani: Bomb Attempt 'Brings Back Memories' of 9/11
He also doesn't understand why so much information from Shahzad's confession has been released.
Rudy Giuliani stopped by Larry King tonight to discuss the Times Square bomb attempt, and, unsurprisingly, he made sure to emphasize a link between the incident and September 11, which he claimed "people want to forget about" but is very much "still with us."
"As we get further away from it, we kind of think it's part of our past and it isn't yet," the former mayor said. "It will be some day. Some day, it will be part of our history like Pearl Harbor is part of our history, but this is an ongoing menace that we continue to face."
Additionally, he went on to question the decision of the investigation to publicly reveal information relating to Faisal Shahzad's confession.
"I don't know why so much information about his cooperating has come out," he said. "All it does is warn people that he might cooperate against ... to hide, run away, do things to protect themselves."

I have two ideas.
1. When I add pictures to galery I ALLWAYS jump to galery to change titles, add watermarks ... etc. Would you add link "Go to gallery" AFTER adding pistures to galery? Somewhere next to or under message xx Image(s) successfully added.
2. I have many galleries, when I want manage gallery very very often they are LAST galieries. What about sort galleries descent as default (I know it is one click to ID but ...) Maybe it is in options, but it doesn't work to me and it allways after save switch to Ascent.

Blogs & More @ WPL
A blog, short for weblog, traditionally are an online journal or newsletter which typically consists of short, frequently updated stories with links to news items and websites. A blog may also be used as a micro-website. Blogs are popular for all ages and are very user- friendly.
We have 5 blogs at WPL:
WPL Reads
WPL Reads is a blog where our staff post what they're reading or viewing, and suggest new good reads. We hope to introduce you to some new titles and authors, or perhaps to reacquaint you with an old favourite.
WPL Book Clubs
You are welcome to attend meetings of our book clubs in person or just share thoughts online about the books we are reading.
Summer Reading Club for Kids
Over 2000 children participate in the Summer Reading Club each year, having fun, joining in our many programs, winning prizes and reading thousands of awesome books.
Waterloo Reads
Each October, WPL hosts "Waterloo Reads" to highlight the ten Evergreen-nominated books. Special guests took turns championing the 10 books, with attendees voting for their favourite at the end of the evening. Visit the blog to learn more.
After Hours @ The Library
After Hours @ The Library, WPL's signature fundraiser, is a dynamic, inspirational evening featuring local speakers who shared anecdotes from their extraordinary life experiences. Delicious food and drink is provided by local restaurants and caterers, and fantastic raffle prizes are donated by local businesses. It is a night to remember.

This paper introduces the design and testing of a scalable, low-cost, self-contained WEC device that can be easily deployed in remote, undeveloped locations around the world. This novel design relies on a two-way mechanical rectifier and flywheel system to convert opposing angular into single-directional turning of the dynamo. In effect, this device is able to harness energy from virtually all wave-induced motion. The design can be implemented as a shoreline, nearshore, or offshore device with minimal modification and without need for permanent supporting structure. Another unique characteristic of the design is that all components are fully contained inside the device itself. This feature significantly increases robustness of the device and virtually eliminates the need for regular maintenance. The device's construction leverage off-the-shelf components that are widely available in order to minimize cost. A prototype is tested at a fishing community with a relatively inconsistent and low level of wave activities. Experimental results demonstrate that a relatively small prototype operating in calm wave conditions can provide basic lighting and emergency power where electricity is not yet available.

Let $k\colon\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{C}$ be a 1-periodic function with $k|[0,1]\in L^2([0,1])$. Define the convolution operator $T$ as $f\mapsto\int\limits_{[0,1]}k(s-t)f(t)\, dt$. Develop $k$ in a Fourierseries and with this find the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions.
Could anyone please help me? I never did something like this before.
I guess the development of k in a Fourierseries is
$k(t)=\frac{a_0}{2}+\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}(a_k\cos(k2\pi t)+b_k\sin(k2\pi t))$.
And what is the next step?

As a Resource Kit doesn't exists for Windows Server 2008, how do you install a service? instsrv and srvany are no where to find..
The "SC" command can do everything (and more) that the old INSTSRV could do. The command-line syntax is a bit strange (with the spaces after all the equals signs), but it works fine.
SRVANY can be found around the 'net and will work in W2K8, but if you want an alternative that can be legally re-distributed, look at the Non-Sucking Service Manager.
Additional details to what @Evan Anderson provided.
On a 64 bit version of Windows Server 2008 you need to use 'nssm.exe' file found in the 'win64' folder.

The Use of Audio PCs and the Broadcast Wave Format in Sweden
Audio files coming from different software systems have often been incompatible. BWF provides a good solution to this unsatisfactory situation. The EBU standardized this audio file format based on Wave during 1996. The Swedish Broadcasting Corporation will use BWF to interconnect audio workstations. More than 25 manufacturers have now committed themselves to use BWF in their software products.

Definition of subsistence level in English:
subsistence level
(also subsistence wage)
A standard of living (or wage) that provides only the bare necessities of life.
Example sentences
- At the same time, the wealthier citizens are called upon to take an active, personal role in alleviating poverty and elevating the poor above the bare subsistence level provided by entitlements.
- If the poorer peasantry were living at a bare subsistence level those with larger holdings, along with the landlords, were doing well from what has been described as a trade boom.
- Hence, if their wages were to rise, the ensuing increase in population would soon return wages to their subsistence level.
For editors and proofreaders
