Genre: Gonzo
If POV cocksucking titles are a dime a dozen, this one?s comparative worth falls at around at 85 cents. There?s nothing wrong with it. Nor is it particularly hot. Sure, the girls are generally attractive ? DeLeon and Reynolds in particular ? but none of ?em are sufficiently trained for truly scorching oral recreation; at least not in the deep-rooted business sense of the phrase.
Moulton?s main skill is that he can hold a camera steady. The videography delivers what?s required, even if his tripod proves to be an underwhelming instrument for the oral venue. To his credit, the guy unloads a big splash (which most gals receive as a shot across the brow). Again we single out Reynolds for going the extra mile with some fine cleavage-humpin? spunk-swallowin? efforts. Cash and Sunshine deliver dry bonus solos.
Retailing: Oral filler.

ORLANDO -- As a member of the Byrds, Roger McGuinn helped redefine pop music by bridging the gap between the British invasion and the folk movement. Many say the hybrid known as ''folk rock'' wouldn't have existed at all without the band once billed as ''America's answer to the Beatles.''
To McGuinn, the Byrds would never have existed without folk music. Not what passes for folk in this day and age, mind you, but traditional folk music, songs such as ''This Land Is Your Land'' and ''Finnegan's Wake'' that both reflected and shaped the American landscape.
So he's taken it upon himself to preserve those old songs by recording them in his home studio in Orlando and posting them for free downloads on the Internet. Since its launch, McGuinn's Folk Den (www.rogermcguinn.com) has posted more than 60 songs and received thousands of hits. (Those who prefer CDs to downloads can find the songs on a four-volume set.) ''Treasures From The Folk Den,'' an offshoot project recorded with folk masters like Pete Seeger and Joan Baez, is scheduled for a spring release.
''Most folk singers today are singer-songwriters who don't do the traditional songs,'' McGuinn said recently from his home. ''I was concerned they were getting lost. The old folk singers are getting into their 80s, and if the songs aren't preserved, they will be gone.''
It was folk music that first inspired young Jim McGuinn (he later changed his name to Roger, both as an homage to his love for airplanes and to follow the teachings of a religious guru -- hey, it was the '60s) to pick up a 12-string banjo and enroll in the Old Town Folk School in Chicago shortly after it opened in 1957. Over the next few years, he immersed himself into the folk scene, which was starting to gain commercial accessibility through renditions by the Kingston Trio and Peter, Paul and Mary.
''I remember hearing 'On Top of Old Smoky' on the radio in 1949 when I was a kid, but it really wasn't until Bob Gibson came to my high school when I was 14 and did a 45-minute set with a 12-string banjo that it really put me out,'' McGuinn said. ''I asked my music teacher what it was, and she said, 'That's folk music.' She told me about the Old Town Folk School, and I enrolled and was there for three years. Then I graduated to 12-string acoustic guitar.''
McGuinn drifted to the West Coast, where he became a regular on the coffeehouse circuit, mixing traditional folk songs with Beatles tunes. In 1964, he hooked up with fellow folkies David Crosby and Chris Hillman, and the nucleus for the Byrds was born. Their first single, a cover of Bob Dylan's ''Mr. Tambourine Man,'' soared to No. 1 and made them the first American band to make a dent in the the British invasion.
In just a few years' time, the Byrds put an indelible stamp on the course of pop culture that would usher in first psychedelic rock, then country rock, earning them induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Despite a benefit concert that brought McGuinn back together with Crosby and Hillman, he doesn't want to get involved in a reunion tour or, as he puts it, ''dinosaurs on parade.''
''I've never seen David happier. He has a wonderful wife and kid, he's making good music. I'm not interested in playing with him, though,'' he said. ''I know enough people would like to see that, but he has enough stuff going on. And I'm really happy doing what I'm doing.''
That includes not only the Folk Den, but exploring ways to use the Internet to sell his recordings online. A longtime critic of the recording industry, McGuinn testified in July before a Senate Judiciary Committee on the benefits of digital music.
He's forced to perform to earn a living, he said, because his royalties have always been dismal, even when the Byrds were at the height of their popularity. By contrast, a recent deal with MP3.com lets him sell his music over the Web and retain half the gross profits.
''The Internet is a wonderful publishing media to get your song up overnight,'' he said. ''I can post a song on the Web and get global response in 24 hours. Home recording is a wonderful thing, I just don't get why more artists aren't doing it. They're still paying all this money for outmoded recording studios, when they can do it all themselves.''
McGuinn is doing things his way this time around -- and he's never been happier.
''I'm happy being a folk artist now,'' he said. ''I've gone back to my roots, and it's very fulfilling.''

CHICAGO (AP) - The U.S. Attorney's office says ex-media mogul Conrad Black isn't expected to attend his bail hearing in Chicago.
Federal prosecutors said in a statement Tuesday that Black isn't required to attend Wednesday's proceedings and probably won't.
The hearing is set for 8:45 a.m. before U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve.
Black is in a federal prison in Coleman, Fla.
An appellate court on Monday granted Black bail just weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court weakened the "honest services" fraud law that was the basis of Black's 2007 fraud conviction, and kicked the case back to a lower court.
He was convicted along with three other former executives from the media empire Hollinger International of swindling the company's shareholders out of $6.1 million.

wp 2.5 is awesome (except for the many, many troubles with the media uploading thing) but that asied, those issues are being adressed I noticed
my client is running a company blog
he has defined three levels in role manager
works fine
2 major problems though
one the new dashboard
excellent if you're running your blog on your own
a pain in the *** if you've different users with differend rights
a writer for instance doesn't have access to stats because he doesn't have the wordpress.org account that's needed for that
Plus also he doesn't need to know that.
Another very annoying problem is the 'right now' panel in the dashboard
no statistics for the logged in user here, but general statistics
And the other problem is the manage tab
there also posts from other users and grand totals
anybody an idea how we can assign a dashboard per user and how a user only sees his or her posts in the manage tab?
and no, role manager doesn't solve this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Can't get past tree branches in Ch. 7
I have been trying for days and I can't figure this part out. The first branch is easy, but the 2nd branch and ledge are up way too high to swing to. When I swing I just bump into the middle of the rock and I can't swing around it. I try to jump when I swing but he just lets go of the whip and I fall to my death. This part is impossible and I am really sick of the broken game mechanics and level design of this game any help would be appreciated.
I loved this game btw - nothing broken here.
How do you climb up it? I don't know what the hell I'm doing. I'm just frustrated with this game. I guess I'll just keep trying.
I figured it out in case anybody else gets stuck here. You have to press up on the d-pad while the whip is connected to the branch. Nice of the game to tell you you can do that! Seriously I probably hate this game more than any other game I've ever played. I just want to finish the single player and get as many achieves as I can and then break this game in half to prevent any other poor bastard ever playing it. It's sheer torture.
I had the same problem. I jumped like four or five times and then I just started hitting other buttons while on the rope and found the up.
I was not a fan of this game. I cant wait until the 24 hour achievement pops so I can throw this game in the garbage. I will try the next Call of Juarez to see if they fixed all the problems.

text: Posted October 14, 2013 Thursday nights are when uptown starts gearing up for the weekend. If you're into clubbing, there are places tucked into more nooks and crannies than you can count. Its pretty hard to really get lost uptown - just remember Tryon St. runs north to south, everything on one side is east and the other is west. Same with Trade Street running east-west. There is plenty to for a weekend in that small area. But if you want to get out a little more, I second the Scarowinds suggestion. I don't eat a whole lot uptown - I pack my lunch for work every day. But I hear a lot of good things about Rooster's, Blue, and Mertz. There's a place inside the Independence building (corner of trade and Tryon) with a good, affordable breakfast menu - the name escapes me at the moment. Most visitors seem to take an extreme view: too boring or too much going on. It depends what you make of it, I guess. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's count the disgusting words and images from this bit of an entry in the 'Post''s police blotter.
Let's count the disgusting words and images from this bit of an entry in the Post's (brilliant as always) police blotter:
Nakia Shaw, 28, strolled into the Golden Crust restaurant at White Plains Road and Allerton Avenue Tuesday at 8:45 a.m., barked "Give me that money!" at a customer, grabbed a bill from her and fled, cops said. The victim chased the thief into an apartment building, sources said. Police grabbed Shaw, who admitted she had the money, then yanked the bill and the pipes containing a tar-like substance from her rear, authorities said.
We count four: (1) "Tar-like substance," (2) "From her rear," (3) "Yanked," and (4) "Golden Crust."

Hi Guys,
This is a great plugin but it seems pretty lame to watermark the basic version. Sure I would love to upgrade to the other skins and get more features but making the basic one unusable with a watermark feels a little misleading to me.
If that's what it is a notice about that upfront should be clearly stating that this is basically an over glorified trial not a true free plugin.
My two cents. Great work again.

Repsol Profit Misses Estimates on Libya, Weaker Refining
Repsol YPF SA, Spain's biggest oil company, said fourth-quarter profit fell more than analysts predicted on lower output from Libya and weaker refining.
Net income, adjusted to exclude inventories and one-time items, slid 29 percent from a year earlier to 355 million euros ($478 million), the company said today in Madrid. The mean of 20 analyst estimates was for profit of 380.6 million euros.
Repsol is bolstering exploration to stem declines in production, which slipped 14 percent in the fourth quarter from a year earlier. The company is investing in Brazil's offshore Santos Basin and has sold off part of its interest in its YPF unit to reduce dependence on mature fields in Argentina.
"The fundamentals of the company remain solid," Chief Financial Officer Miguel Martinez said on a conference call. "We expect this year to be better than 2011."
Shares fell 4.8 percent to 19.57 euros, the lowest since Oct. 4. Repsol is down 20 percent in the past year.
Repsol reported a reserve replacement ratio of 131 percent for 2011, indicating it found more oil and gas than it produced in the year. The ratio was 162 percent for the upstream unit and 112 percent for YPF in Argentina. Output in Libya from wells where Repsol has a stake is now at a gross level of about 300,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day, with Repsol's share at about 50,000 barrels, the company said.
Output to Rise
Repsol's output was 299,000 barrels a day in 2011. That will rise 12 percent to about 335,000 this year and the exploration program will include as many as 24 wells, the company said in a presentation to investors.
The company has reported discoveries in Brazil and Sierra Leone this year. YPF said this month that its shale oil resources probably hold almost half that of Brazil's pre-salt reserves, estimated at about 50 billion barrels.
Repsol is exploring in Brazil in a joint venture with China Petrochemical Corp., known as Sinopec, which in 2010 invested $7.1 billion in Repsol's Brazilian unit. Repsol said today that it's sticking with longer-term targets for production growth of 4 percent a year.
Lower refining profit margins reduced income by 116 million euros, the company said. Income for the refining unit dropped by 19 percent in the fourth quarter from a year earlier.

Golf Digest equipment - why is centre of gravity crucial?
- From: News Limited
- March 05, 2014
A golf club's centre of gravity (CG) affects everything about performance: spin, launch angle, whether the ball draws or fades, the way a player squares the clubface and the amount of forgiveness on off-centre strikes.
Adjustable drivers allow users to move weight to the heel to encourage a draw or to the toe for a fade. Recently there has been a lot of talk about whether the CG should be forward or back. Here's what you should know: The CG in some drivers is low and closer to the face to achieve better energy transfer and less ball spin.
This CG position generally produces a lower launch compared to other drivers with the same loft. A CG position that is further back typically offers more stability on off-centre hits and launches the ball higher.
That's why a driver fitting is important. Because the CG varies from driver to driver, the loft or adjustable settings you've played in the past might not be right for your next driver.
A qualified clubfitter will show you how similar drivers can perform differently for your swing, all because of the CG location.
Wilson FG Tour M3
The loft and total weight can be adjusted: There are six possible lofts ranging from 8.5 to 11.5 degrees, and the driver's total weight can be changed (294 to 302 grams) using one of three sole screws (460cc).
Cobra Bio Cell
The adjustable design has eight settings, including five lofts between 9 and 12 degrees and three draw settings. A special internal lattice in the rear crown saves weight for a lower centre of gravity (460cc).
Cleveland 588 Custom
The 12 settings on the adjustable hosel cover a range of plus/minus 1.5 degrees of loft and plus/minus 2.25 degrees of face angle. The tour-inspired shape weighs just more than 300 grams (460cc).
Tour Edge Exotics XCG7 BETA
Weight pads in the sole place the CG forward for a more boring trajectory. A dimpled section in the front sole and a variable-thickness beta-titanium face is designed to flex more. It's adjustable for eight lofts from 8.5 to 12 degrees (440cc).
Ping i25
Two tungsten weights in the sole help lower the centre of gravity, and a crown stripe aids alignment. The lightweight aluminium hosel can adjust the loft by plus or minus one-half
degree (460 cubic centimetres).
Nike VRS Covert 2.0
The sole cavity's internal walls have been repositioned and stiffened to enhance face and crown flexibility. The adjustable hosel has five loft settings, each with three faceangle adjustments (460cc).
TaylorMade JetSpeed
Weight is placed low and forward in the sole to help energy transfer and to reduce spin. A slot in the sole aims to improve ball speed on strikes low on the face as well as reduce spin. The 12
adjustable settings can change loft by plus or minus 1.5 degrees (460cc).
Callaway Big Bertha
The Big Bertha brand returns with an eight-way rotating hosel that can alter loft (minus 1 degree to plus 2 degrees) and separately change the lie angle. A sliding weight in the perimeter can be positioned to promote a draw or fade (460cc).Originally published as Why centre of gravity is crucial

Since whenever my laptop screen resumes sleeping (i.e. wakes up from screensaving) some settings are reset, such as keyboard backlight, I'd like to run some scripts each time this happens. I'm using gnome 3 with fedora 17 by the way.
When researching this issue I came across pm-utils which allows one to hook anything to events handled by pm-utils but it seems to me monitor sleeping (i.e. screensaving) is not one of them. Looks like pm-utils only handles suspend and hybernate.
For the keyboard backlight I tried to chmod 444 the file /sys/devices/platform/samsung/leds/samsung::kbd_backlight/brightness so that it can not be written to (I have a samsung laptop) but that didn't help either. After the screen wakes up from being blank the new settings appear in it again.
Is there a way to hook up custom programs to screensaver?

A fart, despite the horrific smell (see doornob), is FUNNY! I don't care what you say, IT IS FUNNY! When god made humans (or what ever higher being you believe in) he could have taken all that gas and passed it through anywhere in the human body and no one would have noticed but he passed it through the hugest flabs of fat in the human body; the ass cheeks and the result is a HALLARIOUS noise and if you don't think that it is funny the you are disrespecting THE LORD!

I'm about 2/3 of the way through Max Hastings's history of World War II, INFERNO. A wonderful book, with many things I, as an American, had no idea of. (Such as how England treated the non-white nations of its Empire.)
That has little to do with the topics ta hand, but I saw Hastings's name and, given what I've read so far, am given to accepting his point of view. No one gets a pass from him in INFERNO.

Adrian,I read Hastings tome "Catastrophe"and I agree a "Greater Germany "stretching from the Ukraine to France would have end the dream of the French Revolution i.e. "Liberty,Equality and Fraternity."It would have relegated the Anglophone "Democracies" to small limited trade nations.If one looks at the German extirpations in Southwest Africa we get a taste of the Kaiser's plans for a "Greater Reich." Germany's plan to invade via a neutral Belgium was laid out quite early and clearly. Furthermore German eyes on Austro-Hungary's lands were clear to all. Revisonism sells books and tends to make Hitler merely an anomaly of history.Best Alan

My mum's father was in WW1 as well. Got a medal at Passchendaele for killing Germans got wounded, sent back to the front, then killed more Germans and got another medal. Lived to be 93 so I knew him quite well - but we only found out about the medals after he died. He was saving us from this apparently: http://www.migrationheritage.nsw.gov.au/cms/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/New-Australia-Map-3.jpg - g'day there in Zeppelinburg.
My dad's mother's father's side was German-Australian. His uncle was interned by Australia in WW1 and then taken prisoner by the Japanese in WW2 so he claimed to be the only person imprisoned by both sides.(probably not)
I've read Ferguson's booklet on WW1. It's well-argued. I just don't know enough to take sides with him or Hastings.
I visited Passchendaele with a military historian. She knew exactly where my grandfather would have been on each day he won a medal - the positions hardly moved more than a metre a day at that point.
Contrary to popular belief, she said, they knew what they were doing there. They were stopping the Germans getting to the sea.

- Liam Hassan said...
I watched both programmes - they were both brilliantly made. Ferguson has made a living out of contrary views, but not in a bad way. He always has facts and figures to back up the arguments. What is surprising is his point of view given he is (like Roberts and Hastings) - right wing historian.
I have been quite surprised by the WW1 coverage. I was of the view that the war was a massive blunder and waste of life. But I was very much convinced by Hastings argument (unless you take the lefty view that it was all a product of the capitalist-imperialist system, which may also arguably be true).

I read Catastrophe and watched the doc, but I'm still not totally convinced. As one of the historians in the show admits, Britain would have gone to war eventually against Germany to defend its empire, which argues for the case that the war as much about defending commercial interests as it was defending democracy. And the bloodiness of the war also argues for the anti-democratic nature of all the combatants. In Alan Sillitoe's book Raw Material about his grandfather's experiences in WWI and as a worker, he makes it clear that the carnage of the war was a direct result of the ruling classes seeing the lower classes as nothing more than raw material for war and industry. Military technology dictated the style of battle, but it was generals and politicians who decided it was OK to keeping pouring millions of lives down the drain. The US, France and Britain were far more careful with the lives of their soldiers in WW2, probably because the rise of unions and socialist parties between the wars had put the fear of God in the ruling classes. Having said all that, the idea of a mildly deranged Kaiser Wilhelm in charge of Europe isn't very appealing.

I'm well out of my depth here, as I know WWI first through All Quiet On the Western Front, next, Vera Brittain's Testament of Youth, parts of Black Lamb and Grey Falcon, and most recently the play Warhorse, which mainly said that it was pretty bad for horses. However, from Brittain's testimony, it wasn't just the working classes that got slaughtered in the trenches, as half the boys she knew at Oxford were killed as well.
But I'll watch the documentary.

I liked that bit in Hastings where the historian said that for Germany the time to strike was 1914 before the country became democratic and socialist. I wonder if they'd somehow avoided war in 1914 and for the next few years if a big conflagration might have been entirely skipped. Or if a triumphant Kaiser wd just have scrapped all the democratic reforms...

Did you ever read Charley's War, Adrian? That's one of the greatest comics of all-time, there, and illustrates how WWI was, as one of my students put it, a 'messed-up war.' Whether it was necessary or not goes beyond my powers.
One fact I wasn't aware of until recently was that more than 100,000 Chinese worked with the allies and some of them later stayed in Paris and built the Chinatown there.

This is off -topic on the Ferguson-Hastings debate, but the day my grandad got one of his medals, his cousin was killed about a kilometre away. But he didn't know of him, because his own grandfather was secretly bigamous with a wife & family in Melbourne and a wife & family in Dunedin during the goldrush days.
It's amazing what we can know these days that would have been thought buried forever in the past by previous generations.
Which I guess means that the potential for revisionism is infinite.

Yes, it's interesting to speculate that if war had been avoided both the Kaiser and the Czar might have been replaced by moderate socialist regimes in the fullness of time.
- March 29, 2014 at 2:17 AM
Without being too simplistic here in the limited space – the quandary of WWI depends on perspective, i.e. from which end of the 20th Century tunnel one views it. Ferguson looks back on the Great War judging the subsequent result(s) with 20/20 hindsight after coming out of the tunnel.
Hastings' analysis, on the other hand, is based on contemporary, i.e. early 20th Century/late 19th Century information/knowledge/mindset – which starts with the simple fact no one understood there was a tunnel.
If that's too esoteric to contemplate over the upcoming weekend – then I agree with Dana concerning Hastings.

Some wars are definitely necessary. Have you read Human Smoke? Its a pacifist case for the UK and US remaining out of WW2. Its not convincing at all. (And it plays fast and loose with the facts too.)
- March 29, 2014 at 7:44 AM
- seana graham said...
My impression from school about WWI, and we didn't really study it that much, was that the nature of the alliances that had been formed guaranteed that war was almost certain to start once some incident had flared up and triggered a chain reaction. So I have always felt it was simply tragic, rather than the culpability of one side or the other. Which is not the way I think about WWII at all.
- March 29, 2014 at 8:11 AM
- Alan said...
Adrian,I think far worse than delving into graded culpability for the "Great War" were the divergent lessons learned and drawn from the remorseless bloodletting.Great Britain appeared to feel the immense futility of the experience with Socialists feeling they had been lured into a Capitalist cabal.France saw its youth bled and felt it could hide from war behind its fixed Maginot line.Germany however felt that it had been robbed of victory and stabbed in the back by traitors and left wing plotters and defeatists.It staggers the imagination that such a conflict would lead to such divergent mind sets.Best Alan

Shit, you've got to read The Guns of August!
I'd say the 10 essential books WW1 era books are:
1. The Great War and Modern Memory
2. The Guns of August
3. The Strange Death of Liberal England
4. Goodbye to all that
5. The Ghost Road
6. Testament of Youth
7. A Farewell to Arms
8. All Quiet on the Western Front
9. The First World War (Keegan)
10. Into the Silence
But if you're only going to read 1 book its gotta to be the Fussell or possibly the Robert Graves.

Okay, well, two down. I did read the Fussell book on World War II, though. For better or worse, I read it as the first Gulf War was breaking, which was great, as long as you didn't mind being totally alienated from the rest of the country for awhile.

Its a vulgar title and a vulgar, rather silly book from a writer I used to respect.

That Fussell WW2 book is good, but The Great War and Modern Memory is an all time classic.

I've heard it's great and I like his style, so I probably will get to it sooner or later. Actually, my interest is piqued, so it might be sooner.

I'm pathetically unread compared to you lot, having read AQotWF as a youngster and not really understood it, and the Pat Barker trilogy out of Adrian's list.
The book that helped me most understanding Germany's lead up to, and conduct during, WW2 was Michael Burleigh's "The Third Reich: A New History" . I suspect most of you have read it already. I think it's a modern classic.
One trivial detail from the Belgian battlefield tour that also shed some light on WW2: Hitler's little moustache was a deliberate signal to show he'd had to trim his moustache to get a seal on gas masks, in the manner that many WW1 soldiers did.

Perfectly strange. I have come to the conclusion that this is an absolutely true story. Reading it is like sitting through a lecture in the author's mind. The author is very humorous at times and I enjoyed it thoroughly. --BNB 5 of 5 stars

The Analects of Confucius (Lun Yu) / Edition 1by Confucius

In the long river of human history, if one person can represent the civilization of a whole nation, it is perhaps Master Kong, better known as Confucius in the West. If there is one single book that can be upheld as the common code of a whole people, it is perhaps Lun Yu, or The Analects. Surely, few individuals in history have shaped their country's civilization
In the long river of human history, if one person can represent the civilization of a whole nation, it is perhaps Master Kong, better known as Confucius in the West. If there is one single book that can be upheld as the common code of a whole people, it is perhaps Lun Yu, or The Analects. Surely, few individuals in history have shaped their country's civilization more profoundly than Master Kong. The great Han historiographer, Si-ma Qian, writing 2,100 years ago said, "He may be called the wisest indeed!" And, as recently as 1988, at a final session of the first international conference of Nobel prize-winners in Paris, the seventy-five participants, fifty-two of whom where scientists, concluded: "If mankind is to survive, it must go back twenty- five centuries in time to tap the wisdom of Confucius." This a man whose influence in world history is truly incomparable. His sayings (and those of his disciples) form the basis of a distinct social, ethical, and intellectual system. They have retained their freshness and vigor for two and a half millennia, and are still admired in today's China.
Compiled by pupils of Confucius's disciples half a century after the Master's death, The Analects of Confucius laid the foundation of his philosophy of humanitya philosophy aimed at "cultivating the individual's moral conduct, achieving family harmony, bringing good order to the state and peace to the empire. Containing 501 very succinct chapters (the longest do not exceed fifteen lines and the shortest are less than one) and organized into twenty books, the collection comprises mostly dialogues between the Master and his disciples and contemporaries. The ethical tenets Confucius put forth not only became the norm of conduct for the officialdom and intelligentsia, but also profoundly impacted the behavior of the common people. The great sage's unique integration of humanity and righteousness (love and reason) struck a powerful chord in all who attempted to understand his moral philosophy. As translator Chichung Huang contends, "What ethical principle laid down by man could be more sensible that none which blends the best our heart can offer with the best our mind can offer as the guiding light for our conduct throughout our lives?" Ever timely, Confucius's teachings on humanity (family harmony in particular) and righteousness may well serve as a ready-made cure for today's ills in an era which human beings are blinded by force and lust, not unlike Confucius's own day.
Far more literal than any English version still in circulation, this brilliant new rendition of The Analects helps the reader not only to acquire and accurate and lucid understanding of the original text, but also to appreciate the imagery, imagery, parallelism, and concision of its classical style. The translator Chichung Huang, a Chinese scholar born in a family of Confucian teachers and schooled in one of the last village Confucian schools in South China, brings to this treasure of world literature a sure voice that captures the power and subtleties of the original. Vivid, simple, and eminently readable, this illuminating work makes the golden teachings of the sage of the East readily available to anyone in search of them.

The book was really good except for the fact that it wasn't edited properly, making it confusing to read. Chapters start on the same page as the previous chapter and some texts are broken because of wrong indentation and spacing. Overall, I like the book :)
The author was raised in one of the last Confucian villages in China. An authoritative work, written by a man who was raised in the Ru tradition, a Professor, a political exile. A true resource

Picture: Cruz Beckham at his brother's 6th birthday party at the Hard Rock Cafe in Universal City Los Angeles, California - 04.09.08
Celebrity couple VICTORIA and David Beckham's family has become so settled in the U.S. - their kids now have American accents
The former Spice Girl and her soccer star husband moved to Los Angeles last year (07) when David, 33, signed for local team the Los Angeles Galaxy.
They initially vowed their sons Brooklyn, nine, Romeo, seven and three-year-old Cruz would keep their English roots.
But Victoria admits the kids are becoming more and more American.
Speaking from New York - where the couple launch their new range of fragrances on Friday (26Sep08) - she says, "They are getting American accents. I think it's really cute. They love it here. They have a great school. The opportunities in America are fantastic. We love England but for us to be here is great."

A rare glimpse at Disney's finances
Anaheim is banking on Disney's local properties and their retail tenants in the city to gross an estimated $937 million from hotel lodgings and retail sales in the next fiscal year, which starts Wednesday.
Such financial success will help the city meet its annual operating budget, ensuring that Disney contributes an estimated $31.8 million in taxes to Anaheim in 2009-10, not including property tax and other fees levied against the resort.
Of that, $7.8 million would come from sales tax in Anaheim -- largely from Disneyland, California Adventure and Downtown Disney -- and $24 million from the so-called hotel bed tax in that city. Those revenues don't include cash expected to come from the 250-room Grand Californian expansion slated to open this year.
In Anaheim, guests are charged 15 percent of their lodging bills for the hotel bed tax.
"(Disney) really is the baseline of the budget," said Anaheim Mayor Curt Pringle. "If we didn't have Disneyland, Anaheim certainly wouldn't have its vibrancy. I don't believe there'd be a baseball team. I don't believe we'd have all these entertainment venues."
Pringle said that the other hotels in Anaheim, which contribute a huge amount of revenue to the city as well, probably wouldn't be around if it weren't for Disneyland.
"Some would argue, probably, all of it is related to Disney to some extent," he said.
Megan Eagle, 18, and Collin Gray, 21, of Tehachapi were in Downtown Disney Tuesday meeting with a wedding planner and browsing the stores -- they want to hold their upcoming marriage ceremony at the resort.
"I expected it to be a lot, but not that much," said Eagle, a country club banquet server, when she heard about the cash Disney takes in. "I guess I can say I'm a proud contributor to that price."
Not too long ago, Disney's tax contributions were even higher than the projections for this upcoming year.
In recent years, the peak was in 2007-08, when Disney and its tenants raked in more than $1 billion in retail sales and hotel lodgings in the city, with $36.1 million going to the city's coffers.
These figures are a rare glimpse into the financial details of Disney -- an organization that strictly limits almost all financial disclosures to those the government forces them to publish as a publicly traded entity. But some numbers are buried in the city budget because the revenue is tied to a massive bond project.
By taking the disclosed city revenues and combining them with each year's sales- and hotel-tax rates, the Register could figure out some gross revenues. The numbers only reflect a portion of Disney's overall global revenue.
Though the resort is still collecting more money than it was five or six years ago, the decline in lodging revenue at the three hotels on Disney property has been dramatic. Their revenues grew as the economy reached a fever pitch leading up to the burst of the housing bubble.
In '05-06, the Disneyland Hotel, the Grand Californian and Paradise Pier grossed $164 million in lodging revenue; in '06-07, they grossed $172.9 million; in '07-08, the three grossed $185.8 million.
City budget documents show that Disney hotels in Anaheim will likely finish the 2008-09 fiscal year back at $172.2 million, while estimates suggest the hotels will finish 2009-10 grossing $160.2 million.
Anaheim Budget Director Blaze Bruney said that tourism throughout the city has been sluggish over the past couple of years.
Ticket sales for Disney parks aren't taxed, so there is no way to figure out their attendance or ticket revenue from these public documents.
While Disney officials wouldn't comment on the dollar figures, Disney spokeswoman Suzi Brown did issue a statement:
"Here in Anaheim, where tourism drives the local economy, Disneyland Resort is proud to support the community in many significant ways," she said.
Debbie Moreno, the city's assistant finance director, said the Disney tax revenues have been recorded as separate items in budget documents since 1997. That's when the city borrowed half a billion dollars from bond investors to make improvements to the resort area and the sprawling Anaheim Convention Center.
The city guaranteed those bonds against future revenue from Disney, among other revenue sources. As a condition to selling those bonds, the law requires the city to show the amount of tax money coming from Disney each year. The revenue has always, easily, surpassed the minimum requirement.
Disney and tenant retail-sales revenues:
- 2005-06: $835.7 million
- 2006-07: $796.1 million
- 2007-08: $817.7 million
- 2008-09: $830.9 million (projected)
- 2009-10: $776.8 million (proposed)
Disney hotels' lodging revenues:
- 2005-06: $164 million
- 2006-07: $172.9 million
- 2007-08: $185.8 million
- 2008-09: $172.2 million (projected)
- 2009-10: $160.2 million (proposed)

I would think this should be simple ... I'm trying to figure out how to publish my outlook 2007 calendar from my desktop to my hotmail\live account.
I found a couple links (e.g. publish calendar, outlook connector) but they either don't seem to do what I want or don't work (maybe I'm missing some config step).
Mainly I just want to view my outlook calendar at my home or other computers.
So far google calendar sync (link) but I don't really use my gmail account much and would rather push that info into hotmail or live account.
Any suggestions how to do this?

Love this recipe. The only thing I do slightly different is I use camembert (in place of brie-stays soft better) and I make gentle slits on the top before heating and put a bit of pesto on it so the flavors get through the whole round of cheese. Then I add a bit more at serving. Also try taking small pieces of cheese & the pesto sauce & stuff a mushroom & bake. Ooolahlah...
This was an outstanding appie, easier than many I've made, and it was received with oohs and aahs at the function I took it to; it does look elegant, and tastes divine. Thanks so much for posting this recipe, it was exactly what I was looking for!
Fabulous! Made this for a July Fourth party, and it was one of the first appetizers to go. The combination of flavors was absolutely delicious. And boy, was it easy! The brie round that I had was pretty heavily coated in rind on top and bottom, so I used a filet knife to scrape a good bit of it off. This is really incredibly wonderful, and makes a great appetizer year-round (maybe roll the edges in paprika to make it look more Christmas-y?). Great recipe I'll make often, to rave reviews! Thanks, Cheryl!

Re: Nook Color wont keep time and savej-andersonjma Mar 10, 2012 6:58 PM (in response to crickettp)
I would try powering the Nook completely down; hold power button in until the dialog box comes up then select "Power off". Wait of few moments then hold the power button in until the startup sequence begins. On android devices this usually will clear up odd operations of Apps and the operating system. let us know if this helps.
