"Daily Show": That Obama speech on Libya wasn't very good, was it?
posted at 7:53 pm on March 30, 2011 by Allahpundit
Alternate headline: "Clearly, Jon Stewart isn't reading Mark Halperin." Look at it this way, though. At the rate we're going, and in light of Stewart's own point about the fallacy of the U.S. "handing off" to NATO, American involvement will almost certainly get deeper before it starts to recede. Which means, if you didn't like this Obama speech on Libya, just wait: You might like the next one, or the one after that, or the one after that, a bit better. In fact, I wonder if that's why Stewart didn't force a Bush/Obama "we are all neocons now" comparison here. Why blow all the good material up front? There'll be plenty of opportunities to use it later.
For your companion reading, have a look at today's new Gallup poll. A bare majority of 52 percent still rate Obama as a "strong and decisive leader" — that's a predictable partisan outcome — but when asked whether he has a clear plan for solving America's problems, just 36 percent (including a mere 62 percent of Democrats) say yes. The more opaque things seem in Libya, the worse that number will get. And that's a dangerous liability ahead of next year's election.

If you are looking forward to a rest night's sleep, keeping your room clean is a must.
In the first instance, removing clutter is very important, but you should also look at keeping your room dust free and smelling fresh. Sheets
must be changed at least once a week (at least – more is better!) and this includes other bedding items like blankets and towels.
In some older houses, even though a fresh coat of paint has been applied, a faint musty smell will still be there. Go for air fresheners or
scent bags that you can place around your room. Scents like chamomile and lavender exude calmness, which can help you get to sleep.
Scents of many different types can help you sleep more soundly. Below is a list of various scents that you can use alongside the healing
properties they are said to contain.
• Chamomile (which is the most popular) has been used for a long time as a natural remedy for encouraging better sleep. As chamomile also comes in the form of tea leaves, you can place the leaves in a sachet under your pillow to ensure the scent stays within your sleeping area throughout the night.
• Lavender has similar characteristics to chamomile and is also said to relax the muscles and the central nervous system. This
produces a calming effect.
• Valerian Root was very popular even in the 16th Century for treating headaches, nervousness and heart problems. In recent years, it has also been used to treat anxiety. Unlike chamomile or lavender which gives you almost instant results in improving your sleep quality, Valerian Root needs to be used on a regular basis to induce better sleep.
• Kava most commonly comes in the form of tea leaves, pills or spray. It is known to produce a numbing effect on the tongue which eventually leads to a calming and relaxing sensation throughout the body.
Alternatively, using the scents listed above as a general guide, burn aromatherapy oils in your room an hour or so before you go to bed.
This way, you can blow out the candle before turning in and the smell itself will not be so strong or suffocating that you are unable to sleep.
There are likely be shops in your locality that can supply the necessary aromatherapy oils and/or candles. If you find oil burners exude too
strong a smell, you can choose incense sticks, which give off less smell but keep your room 'smelling' of calmness.

Retro Done Right, Hopefully: The New Final Fantasy Gaiden
By Jeremy Parish Jul 02, 2009 10:39AM PSTTags: Nintendo DS Final Fantasy (NES) Final Fantasy (WIRE) Final Fantasy Tactics: The War of the Lions (PSP) Final Fantasy IV: The After Years (WIRE) Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time (NintendoDS) Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time (Wii) Final Fantasy IV: The After Years (Wii) Final Fantasy (Wii) Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light (NintendoDS)
When Square kissed and made up with Nintendo a few years back, I was pretty happy. My joy didn't stem from some sense of justice or rightness or anything, though; I'm not one of those people who takes it personally when publishers support different platforms. No, I was happy because their newfound friendship meant that Square would stop putting out nice-looking portable games for the import-only WonderSwan system and start giving us some Game Boy Advance loving that actually stood a chance of making its way to the U.S.
And they did! But ever demanding, I wasn't quite satisfied with a watered-down take on Final Fantasy Tactics and remakes of five-sixths of the pre-Sony Final Fantasy games. Not that I'll ever complain about having a bunch of great Super NES classics available to play anywhere, but what I really wanted to see was for Square to lay off the rehashes and give us something new in the old style. "I wish they'd make a new Final Fantasy in the spirit of the old ones, and I don't mean a new-style Final Fantasy emptily pretending to be old like FFIX was," I complained bitterly, and then realized how improbable and stupid my demand actually was. So I clammed up and let my dream fester quietly in my soul.
But as the poet-philosopher Steve Perry once said, don't stop believin'. It's taken about seven years and an awful lot of remakes, but finally, finally Square (now Square Enix) is giving me my wish. Or so it seems. Recently they launched a teaser site featuring some old-school dragon artwork and even older-school wave table music that sounds for all the world like the ending theme of Metroid for NES. And with this week's Japanese gaming magazines, the meaning behind it all has been revealed: a new DS game called Final Fantasy Gaiden: 4 Warriors of Light, a charming-looking RPG deliberately crafted in the style of classic Final Fantasy.
Naturally, this has pissed an awful lot of people off, because, hey -- Internet. But I couldn't be happier. By all accounts, 4 Warriors of Light sounds like it has an old soul, so to speak, with a simple story and character development that's left largely to the player; but at the same time, it doesn't cling so tightly to the past that its game mechanics are taken straight from the original Final Fantasy. For example, the concept of magic points has been dropped in favor of a system that seems more action-oriented. On the other hand, it seems to be decidedly more "classic RPG" in nature than the DS Crystal Chronicles games (which, it should be said, it does rather resemble). Even the art style bridges old and new: it looks to be running on Square's usual robust DS 3D engine, but the visual style has been greatly simplified and stylized. In fact, it brings to mind a 3D adaptation of Sega's deliberately retro RPG 7th Dragon (which, annoyingly, still hasn't been announced for localization).
Bob has been shouting angrily about Final Fantasy IV: The After Years lately, and with good reason. It's precisely the opposite of how publishers should revisit the past; it's an unnecessary sequel that recycles characters, assets, and locations from an old game without demonstrating any of the balance, characterization, or thoughtful design that made the original such a beloved classic. It's lazy, is what it is. This new game, on the other hand, is a wholly new work that calls back to the past while offering a (presumably) new experience.
Of course, we can't discount the possibility that 4 Warriors of Light will be complete crap! But at least for now, it's the thought that counts. And since the thought in this case is almost exactly what I've been wanting to see happen for the past decade, the thought counts for a lot.
This reminds me, though... I really gotta finish my playthrough of the original Final Fantasy Gaiden (no relation), aka Final Fantasy Adventure.

This looks seriously hot!
Whoa!Posted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by Chacranajxy
That's kinda cool that they're doing this. Hopefully, Square will keep the game old-school, rather than archaic... and by that, I mean it should be like FF IV-VI rather than like the first three games. It wasn't until the fourth game that I think Square really hit their stride and started adding interesting mechanics to the battle system, so if we could get some sort of a new twist on the whole ATB thing, that'd be cool.
And I'm all for this approach to a DS FF, but I really hope that they come up with a scenario that's more than just "hey, you kids like crystals? Sure ya do! There's like 20 or somethin' so hop to it!"... y'know, something that'll make it memorable. I think I'm probably just concerned because I looked at the magazine scan and all I can think of is FFIII and misery. Which are more or less the same damn thing!
But I'm optimistic and happy that Square's giving us something that's not a remake.
So yeah!Posted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by Warlock82
I agree, this looks like it could be pretty good. I still think Square needs to freaking hire a new DS art team though (sorry, but all of their 3D DS Final Fantasies have looked absolutely terrible, this included). But as long as it plays good that's not really a big deal. I admit that I was a bit worried about it being a Final Fantasy 1 clone as well (in terms of gameplay), though I didn't read about the MP system so hopefully that's a good sign. I'd rather it copy the excellent SNES titles over the, let's face it, completely dated NES ones :) There's a reason I only got about halfway through FFIII DS.
Anyways, good to hear you are getting back to Final Fantasy Adventure too! Are you going to continue with the plan to play Seiken 3 as well?
Edit: Some extra speculation - so the characters in the screenshots clearly have different "jobs" than what the art depicts. Does this mean a Job system ala FF5 or is it going to be a "pick at startup" system ala FF1? I've always liked 5's system and I wish they'd use it more often. I think X-2's attempt to incorporate something like that was one of the few real positives about that game.
definitely want...Posted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by GeorgieBoysAXE
I still however defend for FFIV:After Years, though very familiar in many ways, I wouldn't consider the game recycled but a definite feeling of lost potential now that I am playing through it more, but I also love FFIV so for a fan, I was hoping for more, but I'm not displeased with the game, if any you like FF IV, then buy after years, it is worth it...
Meh.Posted: Jul 02, 2009 12:00AM PST by arc2029
Looks like FF III- The After Years. Like Warlock, I thought that FFIII completely blew, original and remake. Look, Square-Enix knows what we all want: Final Fantasy VI and VII remakes. No matter whether they appease or disappoint the fans, they'll make boatloads of cash off both games. FFVI and FFVI DS....JUST GIVE US WHAT WE WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Square and other developers have been releasing some amazingly good stuff on that platform for the past few years. This looks to continue the trend. I love the newer Final Fantasy games, but nothing gets my attention like a true (not Final Fantasy IX) classic Final Fantasy experience. Please make this good, Square!
And can we hurry and get the remake of V out of the way so that we can get to VI? I want that just as much as I want XIII.
this has potentialPosted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by Dragongod83
looking forward to this game. it should be awsome!
Wow Nice Battle system and camera placement!Posted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by Phostings
I'm very happy with this. The battle system looks different from any other FF game. I'm not really picky about what Square makes. I'm just happy to play a new game. My Square/Square-Enix collection is getting bigger and this game will be a part of my collection rather if its good or bad.
JobsPosted: Jul 03, 2009 12:00AM PST by jparish
I have high hopes for a Job system, given the facts that (1) the characters all seem to be doing different things in all the screenshots and (2) every game involving a team of four Warriors of Light (I, III, V) has seen a heavy focus on class distinctions and changes.

3D is still SO lastgenPosted: Jul 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by Demiath
This sure looks interesting (old school is always old school, after all), but I agree with previous posters who would have preferred 2D graphics. Why do developers always try to push the DS in directions it isn't equipped to handle? Is it because 2D graphics require skills which the game artists no longer possess, or is it that they believe "everyone" in this day and age expects 3D graphics? In a year which saw the release of truly breathtaking 2D titles such as Muramasa and BlazBlue, the latter doesn't seem very likely (or if it is, certain Japanese developers need to get out more)...
your sweet words have no effect on me!Posted: Jul 06, 2009 12:00AM PST by franwex
This game looks like shit. It's embarassing. I'm not being sarcastic either, I trully am unimpressed. They should just stop with the DS stuff, the final fantasy games look horrible. Oh well, theres enough enthusiasm here to warrant it being a reality, and what are they gonna do? Cancel it? I'm just gonna pass it up.

It's hard to say much about the game at this point, but I do see what you mean. It really does seem like it has a retro feel to it (the warriors of light). However the look of the game kind of bugs me a little, I know it's just a DS game, but it looks graphically worse than FF3 in the shots.

CM Punk addressed Paul Heyman and Curtis Axel
"The Voice of the Voiceless" is done talking. He's also not in the mood to wrestle. What CM Punk wants to do, really, more than anything at this point, is fight. Still sporting the physical and mental marks of Paul Heyman's Kendo stick assault last week on Raw, The Straight Edge Superstar practically foamed at the mouth as he promised a "Biblical" piece of payback to Paul Heyman and Curtis Axel at Night of Champions.
Photos: Punk's latest missive
But Punk – who rarely swears anything to anyone– stopped only to level a rare guarantee to the WWE Universe: At Night of Champions, he would get past Curtis Axel in the Triple Threat Elimination Match and unleash his dark side on the mad scientist. It was a guarantee that was sealed with, perhaps, the two most dangerous words Punk has ever spoken: "I promise."
CM Punk def. Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel
The only thing less surprising than the WWE Universe's App vote for this match – if CM Punk beats Curtis Axel, he gets Paul Heyman in the ring – was the fact that, when it came time to pay the proverbial piper, Heyman managed to worm his way out of his comeuppance. Despite the mad scientist's trepidation, Curtis Axel's confidence more than made up for it in the early stages of the contest: Showing no fear against the ferocious Second City Saint, Axel took advantage of Punk's bloodlust for Heyman to strong-arm the former WWE Champion into the defensive when Punk took his eye off the ball.
Photos: Heyman in danger | "I LOVED YOU!" (*whack*)
Though it seemed like Axel would pull off the victory, a Go to Sleep sent the gloating champion to the showers. But Punk was denied satisfaction when Axel retaliated with a low blow and incapacitated Punk with handcuffs before he could attack Heyman. The Intercontinental Champion then handed his boss a Kendo stick and the ECW mastermind went to work, hacking away at The Straight Edge Superstar until he was overcome with emotion and slumped up the ramp, looking for all the world as heartbroken as Punk was physically broken.
All in all, this was not Punk's night of retribution. Night of Champions, however, may prove to tell a different story.

(Reuters) - The British government will announce on Monday that it will take responsibility for all British government debt should Scotland vote to leave the United Kingdom this year, a person familiar with the situation said on Sunday.
"Essentially we would be the counterparty on any debt that was owed," the person said.
The UK government would seek a bilateral arrangement with the Scottish government about its share of the UK debt in the event of a vote for independence in September's referendum, the person said.
The person declined to be named ahead of publication of the notice by the Treasury on Monday.
Scotland will vote in September on whether to keep the 306-year union intact. Scottish nationalists say independence will free it from decades of economic mismanagement. The British government is campaigning to keep Scotland part of Britain.
Some investors had been seeking clarification from the Treasury about what would happen to UK debt if Scotland votes for independence, the person said.
The Scottish government has said it would pick up its share of the UK debt in negotiations after a yes vote and the Treasury's announcement would not weaken London's hand in any such talks, the person added.
An independent Scotland would "want to be seen as a responsible sovereign or markets will react accordingly," the person said.
The Financial Times, which first reported the story on Sunday, said Danny Alexander, Treasury chief secretary, feared investors could start demanding a risk premium if they feared some UK debt could be transferred to an independent Scotland.
Better Together, a group in favor of Scotland staying in Britain, said on its website last week that according to a poll by YouGov the group commissioned, 61 percent of voters are against quitting the UK while 30 percent back independence.

Damaged cell phones newest status symbol
Apparently it's cool to be cracked.
While they haven't started smashing their smart phones on purpose (or have they?), young people are turning their cracked cell phone screens into the latest in shabby chic. Or is that trashy tech?
Whatever it is, it's catching on as fast as torn T-shirts and ripped bluejeans. Once considered mortifying -- damage requiring immediate repairs or replacement -- the spider webs of a cracked smart phone screen increasingly are seen by teens and 20-somethings as inevitable badges of honor, cool battle scars that impart a kind of rough street cred in the mobile world.
"It's an accident when it drops, but nobody wants to pay the money to get it fixed," explained 18-year-old Kaitlyn Wilson of Liberty, Mo., who recently was visiting a Kansas City, Mo., Apple store. "So, whatever, you have a cracked phone. If you were the only person with a cracked screen, you would probably run out to get it fixed. But everybody else's is cracked, so why not leave it?
"Then Sharpie it, and make a design out of it on Pinterest."
Sharpie it?
"Color it in," said Wilson, a student at Maple Woods Community College. "I've had friends that tried to crack their screen on purpose so they could Sharpie it."
Others have used food coloring or nail polish to add color to the cracks.
A cracked phone that still works can be meaningful, said Mark Bauerlein, an English professor at Emory University and author of "The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future."
"A cell phone is their peer umbilical cord, their whole social life," he said. "But it's a fragile instrument. So in a way a cracked cell phone that still works means, 'Hey, my phone may have hit the ground, but it's a survivor.' And by extension the phone's owner is a survivor, too, because it's a reflection of them."

Surf Fishing on Martha's Vineyard
"They call it fishing," he says. "They don't call it catching."
We fish. It's a long night of casting and retrieving. But no catching. Three hours later my back is screaming to surrender, and Bob suggests we call it a night. I don't argue with either of them.
My first visit to Chappaquiddick — the island on the island, serviced by America's shortest ferry ride. My guide, Paul Schultz, is the leader of the Surf Fishing Safari offered by The Trustees of Reservations (one of the nation's oldest conservation groups, caretakers of some of the most pristine tracts in Massachusetts). Paul's truck is equipped to take up to eight people, but I have Paul to myself. My optimism soars.
Paul has lived in Edgartown since 1962, in his grandmother's house, where his mother was born. He's kept a journal—weight, location, tide, time,bait — of every fish he's caught since coming home from Vietnam. I ask Paul his total number of entries. "About 6,500, give or take a few. About 4,500 blues, 1,300 stripers, and the rest bonito, false albacore, Spanish mackerel, and weakfish."
At Wasque Point, the southeasternmost corner of Chappaquiddick, the Atlantic Ocean and Nantucket Sound meet, creating currents so strong that swimming is prohibited. Stripers, with their strong, broomlike tails, thrive in rough waters. So does the muscular bluefish. Paul hands me a rod and reel rigged with a plug — a simple, almost primitive white lure with treble hooks on the end. "I caught three bluefish here yesterday," he says.
I start lashing the turbulent water with renewed optimism. I get good distance with my casts, but nothing else.
"Let's head to Cape Poge and work the Elbow," Paul says, after a fruitless two hours.
At Chappy's northeast tip lies a long thin strip of land that eventually curves southward and almost completely encircles Cape Poge Bay. As we bounce northward, Paul watches the ocean to the right and the bay to the left. He reads the water for signs of fish. Birds are the aerial reconnaissance of surf fishermen. But there are more subtle signs as well. He sees a slick. Bluefish, the greasy cousin of the striped bass, leave slicks on the water as distinct as the spots your uncle's hair tonic left on the couch every Thanksgiving.
I ask Paul why he sniffs the air.
"When you smell watermelon, or Juicy Fruit gum, that means bluefish. Some people say stripers smell like thyme," he adds, unconvinced.
After a few uneventful casts at a slick, we move on. Paul points to the site where he caught his biggest Derby bluefish. He recalls its size with the pride and certainty of a parent: "16.36 pounds, caught it in 1995." His biggest striped bass is 56.5 pounds, and he's caught five in the fifties, a revered benchmark for locals. (The striper record for a rod and reel is 73 pounds.)
We see a cluster of baitfish popping out of the water, about 30 yards offshore. My first cast is a nervous one, and I miss badly, failing to account for the quartering wind. I sense Paul's anxiety when I miss a second time. My third cast drops perfectly past the frenetic patch. I reel my lure through the action, braced for a strike. But nothing hits — or so I think. I have caught something. An infant bluefish, three inches long, has struck a lure nearly twice its size. I have to admire the brashness of this kid.
So far I've fished over 15 hours, in some of the most ideal conditions I've ever seen. And my only strike is from a bluefish with a Napoleon complex. I ask Paul where the stripers are.
"The water's too warm. They really start hitting when the water hits 54 degrees." It's 59 degrees. But luck can change in an instant—and a day in Chappaquiddick's white sands and blue water is a day to be savored.
We work our way along the inside of the elbow. A fast-moving shadow of fish churns quickly up the shoreline. (The shadow itself appears in the shape of a fish, making me wonder if I watched too many cartoons in my youth.) Paul quickly removes my plug and replaces it with a jig, a thin silver lure about four inches long. "Those are bonito, go get one." For the first time, my casting is impeccable. But nothing hits.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR EU CUSTOMERS: New regulations in the EU (with effect from 13th June 2014) mean that patterns aren't refundable after download. However, if you're unhappy in any way with your pattern I can still offer a refund / replacement.

Teal dreams is a blanket in my favourite colours this season - teal, blue and brown.
It is a variation on the traditional granny square blanket, using 'diamonds' in the centre rather than standard granny stitches. Using this method the squares can be made any rectangular shape. I mixed the squares with rectangles of double width, but you could try any combination to make a unique blanket design.
I used 5 colours of yarn, in blues and teals with a dark brown joining colour and I have written the pattern for the colours so you can see how I constructed it. You do not have to follow the colour scheme or work to the size I did. However, if you wish to adapt you will need to adjust your yarn quantities.
I used Drops Karisma Superwash 50g/100m/109yds per ball. As made the pattern uses 3 balls of A, 4 of B, 5 of C, 7 of D and 7 of E to make a blanket approx 1.5m/5' square
Written in English and US terms, and charted, with some photo tutorials. Pattern runs to 8 pages.

In case you have been vacationing on the moon, you may have missed the news that the student-athletes from the University of Georgia, the oldest state-chartered university in the nation, located in Athens, the Classic City of the South, came up a wee bit short in attaining the football championship of the Southeastern Conference. That honor went to the young men of Louisiana State University who, having observed them in post-game interviews, are destined to become either, you know, great orators or, you know, quantum physicists.
Every morning in December, I enjoy a laugh as I look out my front window and see our eight-foot-tall inflatable Santa flattened on the ground. It's just so funny to see the jolly old man face-planted in the dirt, quite realistically reflecting the way I feel at the end of every December day - totally, utterly deflated.

It's safer!" I'm sure there are safety advantages to consider, and - as my wife reminded me - traffic laws often require you to drive in the right-hand lane. So, I'm not about to offer ...

The Occupy Wall Street movement is moving into its third month across the country. While the original goals of the group may have had a bit of merit, their tactics and stubborn refusal to work with those they attack and to seek real solutions exhibits their true colors, anarchy and destruction.
Does evil exist in the world? Is there really a devil that competes with God for control of the human mind? Are there unseen evil spirits that wreak havoc on the affairs of human beings? There is no simple answer to any of these questions or one that will satisfy all of us. All of the world's major religions wrestle with the subject of evil, even Buddhists who believe that evil exists only in a person's mind and can be overcome with practice.
Today, I ask for a moment of personal privilege. It was two years ago this week that I wrote about the Three Wise Men that have so greatly influenced my life: Roy Hodnett, a real estate magnate on Saint Simons Island; Dr. Raymond Cook, my college professor, now residing in Valdosta; and John W. Jacobs, Jr., a broadcast pioneer and philanthropist from Gainesville. All three in their 90s or close to it. All three a part of the Greatest Generation. All three family men of faith. I could not have asked for better role models.

Did you know that Jim Crow is coming back? Just in time for the holidays. Not the Jim Crow I grew up with in the Deep South but a financial Jim Crow.
Thanksgiving is the great American holiday: no flag-waving, gift-giving, fireworks or lights, just family, friends and food.
The first "official" Thanksgiving was celebrated 222 years ago. President George Washington's first presidential proclamation designated the 26th day of November to be set aside for giving thanks.
Let's peek in on a classroom in the year 2411 where they're studying Ancient Earth History 101. Today's topic is, "The Origin of Thanksgiving."
Only two days before Thanksgiving, there I was with Christmas on my mind, and I set out to scour a few nearby retailers for something new to add to my worn-around-the-edges holiday décor. As I race-walked up and down those aisles, hoping something would catch my eye, it just didn't feel right. The mass-produced Christmas décor - snowmen, tabletop trees, Santas in every shape and size, sparkling deer, boxed ornaments in fuchsia and purple and all made in China - felt soul-less. The look on the faces of the Santas and snowmen was more sober, fixed and shocked than ...
You might wonder about the title of this article if you're anything like me. You see, I struggle with portion control. So Thanksgiving can be a real problem for me. I'm guessing I'm not alone. I'm pretty sure that there are very few people reading this who limited their calorie intake to the recommended daily amount yesterday. And even though I'm writing this before Thanksgiving, I'm pretty confident that this will prove to be a true statement. I ate a lot on Thanksgiving.

The Bush administration is well aware that the Muslim world regards the liberation of Iraq as a war on Islam. Someone within the administration needs to convince the president that allowing evangelists into Iraq to push Christianity as well as humanitarian aid on a divided and defeated Muslim population will only deepen this conviction. This is one faith-based initiative the government cannot afford to support.
So far, the only comment from the White House has come from press spokeman Ari Fleischer, who said the government has no control over privately funded religious charities like Samaritan's Purse, the agency headed by Franklin Graham, Billy's son and Bush family friend. Graham is particularly toxic to Muslims because he has publicly branded Islam "a very evil and wicked religion." So is evangelist-broadcaster Pat Robertson, founder of Operation Breadbasket, who has labeled Muhammad "an absolute wild-eyed fanatic." Last summer the Reverend Jerry Vines, past president of the Southern Baptist Convention, which has an army of some five thousand missionaries operating overseas, many of them poised to enter Iraq, damned the Prophet Muhammad as a "demon-possessed pedophile"-a capital offense in many Islamic countries. Even before the war, the Arab press cited these and other American evangelists as proof that the United States intends a Christian crusade against Muslims.

Learning Vocabulary with KVocTrain
Modern language-teaching may focus on context, but
without a good range of basic words, you'll be lost when
you try the language outside the classroom. KVocTrain
helps you build your foreign vocabulary.
KVocTrain [1] is a tool that helps
you learn foreign language
vocabulary words. The Kvoc-
Train program is part of the KDE Edutainment
suite and was originally written
by Ewald Arnold. It works on the
same principle as flashcards. All you
need to do is input words and information
about them, then ask KVocTrain to
run a test for you – it will ask you the
words and record your success rate.
Configuring KVocTrain
To set up KvocTrain, open the application
( K -> Edutainment -> Languages -
> KVocTrain) and select Vocabulary ->
Append Language -> Another
Language, then click Yes. Click the button
Add Language Data from KDE Data base to add a language (see Figure 1). In
this case, I'll select Europe, Southern ->
Greek. In this article, I'll use Greek as an
example language, but you can follow
similar steps to configure KvocTrain to
test you in another language. Use the
same process to add UK English, selecting
Europe, Western -> United Kingdom
at the end.

I've created a folder in dropbox for all my screenshots, and redirected all my screenshots there.
However the default screenshots file name are long (it contains a time stamp and I don't see how to remove that). I'm wondering if I can use some shell script or applescript to do this.
Also I need it only change the names of newly added files. I've tried automator, but it keep renaming all files in that folder. E.g. 01.png may become 03.png after adding other files to that folder, which make correct dropbox reference literally impossible.

Own a gun? Don't own a gun?
Anything we post about the Capitol Hill murders that touches on guns generates a ton of response. How many Stranger readers own guns, we're wondering. We're taking a poll right now in the Stranger Forums.
« A Lengthy Premeditation? | Update from the SPD »
Anything we post about the Capitol Hill murders that touches on guns generates a ton of response. How many Stranger readers own guns, we're wondering. We're taking a poll right now in the Stranger Forums.
Montana is a gun saturated red state so it's no suprise the killers came from there.
Stranger Readers being highly educated, urban, savvy, and high income are less likely to own guns than the uneducated country hicks from Eastern Washington and other red state areas. Ignorant small town poor people are dangerous.
i don't own a gun. but i think knute berger does. does he count as a stranger reader?
Want to see the scary kinds of people who own guns?
Apparently I must be scary, if you saw me sitting in a Cafe somewhere reading the Stranger, youngish, hip, well dressed and armed, you would never guess, it is a shame I was not at that party, the outcome would likely have been very different.
Keep it coming, kooks.
Was Dominic Maldonado just some cook from the sticks when he walked into a Tacoma mall and opened fire?
Tacoma, last I checked, was a city and not some podunk hick town *(well for the most part anyways).
that was sort of harsh.
i think the income thing is what eked me, but i don't know if i can contest it...
maybe i'm interpreting this wrong, and i sure as hell haven't looked it up, but i don't think "Stranger Readers" (capitals?) can all be considered high-income and "savvy." ...it IS a free weekly paper.
maybe you meant "who are" instead of "being"?
hm. i have contributed practically nothing to this discussion.
by the way, my above post was directed at Chicago Kid. whoops.
Don't own a gun. Even if I had training on it, I think the overall safety concerns outweigh any safety benefits.
I own a gun. It was my grandfather's, then my dad's and now mine. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't.
Hey Chicago, what part of your education made you think it would be cool to be an urban bigot?
Looks like you should have stayed awake during Stereotypes are Stupid class. Sheesh!
I was talking with a friend of mine this weekend about a classmate of ours from Columbia University who's turned into a paranoid gun nut. He collects assault rifles and keeps a gun on one side of his bed and a clip on the other. Oh, and where does he live now? San Francisco.
Hey PK,
I have one of those. A .22 bolt-action rifle, 'squirrel gun'. My grandfather claimed it was the first thing he ever bought with his own money. My spouse hates that I won't throw it away. But c'mon!
I don't look at people who own a gun or two any different from those who don't have any, but someone who has a ton of guns and ammo (especially shotguns, assault rifles and the like) needs help before he snaps. (To date, I've never heard of any women who were arming themselves like they expected the apocalypse at any moment.)
You're exactly right, Matt from Denver. The Apocalypse is exactly what they're waiting for. Not just Huff but all these gun nuts. Hence all the talk about defending your home, when it's apparent that what they expect to be defending their home for is.... the cops. You know, those jackbooted Nazi UN thugs...
No, I'd say the government is pretty evil enough as is. No need to put in the Nazis or the UN.
With the Bush Administration threatening most of our Bill of Rights, its lucky that he hasn't targeted the 2nd. Doesn't change the fact that he still should be out of office, one way or another.
So, SOCIALUNRAVELIN, you're exercising your god-given right to take up arms against your government, I see. After all, there's no real difference between Bush, Hitler, the UN, or the Ukraine. Or burnt toast, for that matter. No one could ever say you lack perspective, could they?
Keep talking.
Who said anything about God? Nothing is higher than human beings!
Its not about perspective, its about truth. Just because something is the lesser of two evils, doesn't mean its still not evil. The lesser of two evils is still an endorsement of evil. So rather, its a matter of prioritization.
So when are you going to go shoot Bush? Or me, or whoever else is on your list? You have a list, right? Otherwise what's the point of talking about it?
And there you go again with the baiting...
I'm a sportsman too.
Water sports don't count, FNARF.
Oh, they count all right. My aim is true.
I do not, will not own a gun. I don't have anything against sportsmen who do, FWTW. Oh, and I think your "poll" will be a tad skewed by being taken on the Internet in your forum.
Chicago, you are the one who sounds like an ignorant hillbilly, I know many (and I mean many) people who own firearms and every one of them is educated, and making a good living, including myself. You may call me a kook or whatever other silly shit you can come up with but it truly shows your maturity level and inability to communicate in a meaningful way.
What happens if there is a total ban on guns in the U.S.? You like Japan and the UK theyve got the answer right? Well a ban will start with millions of guns in this country.
You can check out registered owners and send SWAT teams to collect all those guns from the cold dead fingers of the gun nut owners. Meanwhile you perform warrentless searches on the well mannered sportsmen who have one or two.
That leaves the gun grandpa left which probably isnt registered. Good sheeple will volunteer to hand them in or their kids can be trained to rat them out as part of the DARE program. Big Bro could add a few more words to their NSA search criteria and ferret out still more from phone taps.
That just leaves us all safe and cozy doesnt it. Except for the fact that theres still going to be TENS OF THOUSANDS of guns hidden away in this country.
People carry guns illegally, they commit murders which are against the law, they do illegal drugs A LOT of illegal drugs. Laws do not stop behavior they simply influence it for ill or good.
There is simply no possible way to effectively remove all guns from the U.S. You can lessen the amount through a ban but that just means only criminals will have access to them.
No one who owns a gun should ever admit it in something as public as a blog; it could be stolen.
When I took "Criminal justice and the law" at the University of Washington, I did a report on gun laws. I found out that in place where strict gun laws were put into place, it either didn't make a difference in terms of criminals using guns; and ironically, it contributed to more crime. I came to the study thinking the NRA was wrong and that their mantra, "If guns are criminalized, only criminals will have guns," was inaccurate. Sadly, it seemed the facts bear them out. And that was in 1977. The proliferation of guns in America - and the world - make it even more unlikely that anyone can indeed put the "genie back into the bottle," so to speak.
My hunch is that more readers of The Stanger will own guns, after this incident, to protect themselves. But if anyone thinks that they can do the same things Viggo Mortensen did in "A History of Violence," when his character was confronted by two killers, think again. The human urge to flee is so strong, hardly anyone can truly know how they will react, when put into a combat situation.
One might think that, if he or she had their sidearm with them, they couldn've "taken out" the killer on Capitol Hill; but to do that, and not sustain some life-threatening wounds oneself, would have required someone trained at the level of a U.S. Marine. How many of us are at that level of training.
Buy a gun, if you wish and go to Wade's, possibly the best gun range in the Puget Sound area, over in Bellevue. Once there, it is worthwhile in that one finds gun owners are not morons, people with mostly missing teeth or all the other hoary old cliches. You don't even need to own a gun to go there: borrow a friend's or use one that Wade's offers.
way to hype your undergraduate research report! don't suppose you wrote any book reviews in high school you'd like to share too? btw comparing nations, rather than states, might have changed your results a wee bit.
as for the idea that you can't get people to turn in guns they own: you could pay people to return a lot of them. here's a report by our own harborview medical center about it:
they must have overlooked your study from 30 years ago! didn't you publish it in a peer-reviewed journal?
anyway, even if it's not a perfect policy, and you can't totally remove all guns from the public sphere (could we at least start with all automatic weapons, for christ's sake?), it's better than arming yourself with some stupid fantasy about how if we all had more guns we'd somehow be safer.
You can add paying people for their guns to the list of methods for removal and it still wont change the fact that people want guns and are willing to spend money on them. I bet criminals are willing to pay more money for guns than any Gvt. or NGO program possibly could. Criminals who make big $$ from other illegal activities.
We did start with automatic weapons. I believe you can only get them in Arizona and a very few other red states. But what you intended to say was assault weapons or guns designed for combat. Which you can get as a semi-automatic and with a little technical skill and some extra parts make into automatic. However, any way you look at it theres still thousands of them in the hands of ordinary citizens who want to keep them and no law, cash incentive, or moral obligation is going to reverse that.
I think if we took the cash weve just dropped on invading a soveriegn nation and poured it into education and healthcare we would see a much greater benefit than passing laws to make ourselves feel better.
I own weapons(much more than Kyle Huff)
and I've never shot, nor do I ever PLAN to shoot a person.

The conversations and emails continue regarding the USA Today report about the "exodus" from the pews of our churches.
I am not sure why some are so upset. The experts have been predicting this for some 15 to 20 years.
On May 14, USA Today issued a release based on polls taken by Pew Research Center. The numbers give a picture of the "spiritual" landscape in the U.S.
For those who keep an eye on cultural ebbs and flows, the information was not surprising.
From time to time, our senior pastor Sam and I take a break from the hustle of life and ministry and talk shop.
It's where faith and life meet. I like these conversations.
He turned the radio station on once again. Out poured songs of the Savior.
His co-workers once again looked in his direction with disdain and anger. Finally, one frustrated neighbor got up and once again asked him to turn it down or turn it off.
hometown is burning. Hundreds have been arrested. At last count, 144 fires were raging. Businesses have been looted.
Innocent people in Baltimore are suffering and will continue to suffer for some time. The city is shut down.
Recently, I traveled to Greensboro with a fellow chaplain and minister of a local Bluffton church.
We began to share our struggles and personal success in ministry.
Did you hear the good news? Another grocery store is coming to the Buckwalter area.
It is going to be massive. A little bird told me any current Bluffton grocery store will fit inside the new one with plenty of room to spare.
When men of the church get together, there are three basic types of conversations. We talk about sports, politics and general Bible topics. Maybe it's the specific denomination I'm involved with, but I doubt it.
Today is Easter. Today is the day we celebrate the glory of the risen Lord.
Today, all of Christianity will rejoice, for the resurrection of Jesus is the very foundation upon which we rest all hope and truth.
It has been hard to write this column.
The young man was guilty. There was never any doubt about it. He would suffer the consequences of his erroneous ways.
Some were surprised at the young man. Some were surprised at his crimes. None of those things surprised me.

A microcosm of London's shifting ethnic patterns, the area around Brick Lane in East London was once associated with poor slums and the scene of the crime for the Jack the Ripper murders. Whilst the notorious pub Ten Bells still stands, the area itself is now extremely popular with London's edgy and artistic crowd, featuring galleries, restaurants, markets and festivals throughout the year.
The Old Truman Brewery at 91 Brick Lane houses a vibrant market where up-and-coming designers set up shop every Sunday selling a unique variety of clothes, handbags and jewellery. There are also vintage clothing stores and chic boutiques dotted around the area.
As a hub of London's Bangladeshi community, Brick Lane has always been famed for its many authentic curry restaurants. It now also has a reputation for its warehouse art exhibitions and trendy clubs and bars. So, before your East London experience is complete, be sure to head to the Vibe Bars beer garden or 93 Feet East (150 Brick Lane) which has become an East End institution well known for its eclectic mix of live music and intimate atmosphere.
A really vibrant area with so much to do when you are not busy out there shopping.

the room is nice, clean and huge. the flat covers basically everything needed for normal life. especially the kitchen is ready to use. there is public transportation just infront of the house. tesco is just opposide of the street.. the only edge is that the windows are not wellbuilt therefore could be quite loud for sensitive sleepers:-)
since we were too tired from travel it was not a problem for us

Die Wohnung hat mir sehr gut gefallen vor allen Dingen die Lage zur City von London und die Verkehrsanbindung mit den kurzen laufwegen ! Wenn ich wieder mal in London bin nehme ich mir wieder eine Wohnung von Mister X !!!
Valentin 2.0 stars 10/21/2012
Aufgrund eines Buchungsfehlers ist diese Bewertung eigentlich für ME3. Die Zimmer sind jedoch im selben Haus und sehr ähnlich.
- Zimmer war sauber
- Sehr gute Bus und Tube Anbindung
- Gastgeber hat Buchungsfehler seinerseits zugeben und einer Teilrückerstattung zugestimmt
- Tesco Express in unmittelbarer Nähe
- Bad und Küche waren nicht sehr einladend (Sauberkeit lies sehr zu wünschen übrig)
- Duschbrause kann nicht aufgehängt werden
- WG leben
- Türen sind dünn, Schlösser bieten kaum Sicherheit
- Knarrende Türen und Böden
- Heizung lässt sich nur zentral regeln
- Internet funktionierte nach 2 Tagen nicht mehr
- Rückerstattung verzögerte sich, Kontaktaufnahme gestaltete sich im Laufe des Urlaubs als schwierig
Fazit: Als Unterkunft im WG-Stil ausreichend, aber als Partnerurlaub ungeeignet.

SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- Alaka'i Aglipay and Michael Memea
each homered and scored twice to stake West Oahu of Ewa Beach,
Hawaii, to a big early lead and a 7-1 win over Council Rock-Newtown
of Newtown, Pa., in the opening game Friday of the Little League
World Series.
Aglipay's first-inning homer with a runner on first base just
cleared the left-field foul pole to give West Oahu (1-0), the
Northwest region champs, a 2-0 lead. Three batters later, Vonn
Fa'eo followed with another two-run homer to left off Council
Rock-Newtown starter Keith Terry, Jr.
West Oahu extended its lead to 7-1 after Memea's three-run homer
to center field in the third.
Council Rock-Newtown (0-1) struggled at the plate, managing four
hits off West Oahu. Daniel Denton scored the only run for Council
Rock-Newtown, the Mid-Atlantic champs, with a second-inning homer.
Shortstop Ryan Hartley, son of Council Rock-Newtown manager Bill
Hartley, injured a knuckle on his right hand after being hit by a
pitch while attempting to bunt and had to be removed from the game.
Aglipay, who pitched a two-hitter with 11 strikeouts to help
West Oahu win the regional championship, was pulled after the first
Council Rock-Newtown's best chance to rally came in the fifth
inning, but Michael Tentilucci was thrown out after taking off from
second base on a hard-hit fly ball to left by Blaise Lezynski that
resulted in a double play.
West Oahu had outscored its opponents 87-19 coming into the

Talk:Order of battle at the Battle of Trafalgar
Peer Review[edit]
Moved from User talk:Toddy1
I've had a look over, and assigned it a rating of B class. As always, this may be challenged or overturned by another editor, but I think that unlikely. There might be one or two little quibbles over points 1 (It is suitably referenced, and all major points are appropriately cited) and 2 (It reasonably covers the topic, and does not contain major omissions or inaccuracies) but I think certainly not enough to justify downgrading it.
A few suggestions if you wanted to move the list further up the assessment scale:
- 1) A longer lead and introduction, discussing what the background of the battle was, the main points about how it was fought, and the outcome.
- 2) A small section on the historiography might be a useful addition.
- 3) Summarising the results of the tables to follow - brief discussion of total numbers present, those that became casualties, etc. Also on disposition of ships, guns and other potentially relevant factors to the battle and its outcome.
- 4) A picture, just to illustrate the battle or a particular moment, to go with the lead.
- 5) A full reference section, with perhaps some other works mentioned. Separate sections for external links, notes and literature as applicable.
A similar article, currently rated as a Featured list is the Order of battle at the Glorious First of June, and shows some of these points in action, if you wanted a model. As to formatting issues, that's not my particular bailiwick but someone from the League of Copyeditors should be able to offer a few tips. Hope this is all of help. It is a thorough and complete list and with a little work should have no trouble making featured list. Kind regards, Benea (talk) 00:04, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Meaning of † note[edit]
I notice that some of the commanders have the symbol † after their names. Does this mean they died during the battle? I'm guessing so because both Nelson and Galiano died, and both have that symbol. But I could not find it explained anywhere. Can it be explained somewhere? Pfly (talk) 09:05, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
On some browsers, if there is no space between italiced text and a non-italic footnote reference, then the letters overlap making it harder to read them. Therefore such spacings are advantageous.
It should be remembered that how wiki-pages are displayed depends on many things, including the browser, wikipedia preferences, whether users are logged in, the size of the window, etc. So please can people show a little tollerence needed so that everyone can read the page.--Toddy1 (talk) 22:46, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Everything in the article has citations.
Adm Admiral Don Federico Carlos Gravina died on 9 March 1806 due to wounds received in the battle from which he never recovered. Sources for this include:
- p208-9, 212-4, Goodwin The Ships of Trafalgar, the British, French and Spanish Fleets October 1805 - this says he died in 1806.
- hnelson.iespana.es/gravinaingles.html - this gives the exact date - 9 March 1806.
- p355, 384, Schom, Alan, Trafalgar, Countdown to Battle, 1803-1805 describes Gravina as mortally wounded.
- p113, Harbron, John D, Trafalgar and the Spanish Navy - describes Gravina in March 1806 as dying of wounds received at the battle of Trafalgar.
There is absolutely no shortage of evidence from reliable sources that Gravina died of wounds received at the Battle of Trafalgar. Does anyone have any sources that says that he did not?
I have tried to accommodate the objections of User:Pietje96 by changing the wording in the second paragraph to:Named officers marked '†', killed in action or died of wounds.
Unless someone has some sources to justify not listing Gavina as dying of wounds received at the battle of Trafalgar, please can the article be reverted to the state at 05:02, 18 February 2010--Toddy1 (talk) 20:31, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
- The sources are quite explicit. Gravina never recovered and died in early 1806, less than five months after the battle, and considerably less than Pietje's claim of dying a year later. It seems reasonable to make the link, and the fact that Gravina died of wounds received, and not during the battle itself is made expressly clear. With reversions with edit summaries like 'desilusional content reverted' [sic] I don't think Pietje's contributions are helping reach a satisfactory conclusion. Benea (talk) 21:09, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I am considering drafting biographical notes for some of the French officers, and I would try to upset nobody; what should I do? I know that one of them died several years after Trafalgar of a stroke consecutive of head injuries sustained during the battle. Rama (talk) 22:30, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
- I think as long as its made explicit what the link is (a later death as a result of wounds received), I don't see it as a major problem, so long as there are sources that explicitly link the later death with the wounding in the battle. A similar case off the top of my head, Andrew Snape Douglas suffered a severe head wound at the Glorious First of June. He continued to serve at sea for a few more years but complained of severe headaches which eventually ended his seagoing career, and he died almost exactly three years after the battle. An autopsy revealed brain tumours, which were attributed to his injury at the battle. Perhaps take it on a case by case basis depending on what the evidence is. Benea (talk) 22:39, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
- The US Department of Defense in 2005 defined Died of Wounds as "A casualty category applicable to a hostile casualty, other than the victim of a terrorist activity, who dies of wounds or other injuries received in action after having reached a medical treatment facility." Source: thefreedictionary. I will try to find out more about the classification.--Toddy1 (talk) 21:27, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
Lieut Dumay of the Furet[edit]
Is Lieut Dumay of the Furet spelled correctly? The article on Lamellerie's expedition spells his name Pierre-Antoine-Toussaint Demai.--184.108.40.206 (talk) 13:23, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
- It's Demay in the Dictionnaire des Bâtiments de la Flotte de guerre française. As far as I could tell, "Demai" looks a bit unlikely, "Demay" or "Demais" would be more plausible spellings anyway. Rama (talk) 13:39, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
Spelling Corrections[edit]
I've corrected the name of two spanish vessels, "Monarca" (in place of Monarcha) and "Montañés" (in place of Montänez)
"Monarca" means Monarch, obviously, and "Montañés" means something like Highlander, people from the mountains; this is because the actual region of Cantabria in Spain, traditionally has the surname of "La Montaña", so the ship was named "Montañés" in the sense she was from Cantabria.
Great work buddies.

Feb. 27, 2012 -- A provocative new study finds that people who take prescription sleeping pills -- even once in a while -- have a higher death risk than non-users.
The top third of sleeping-pill users had a 5.3-fold higher death risk. They also had a 35% higher risk of cancer, the study found.
"We are not certain. But it looks like sleeping pills could be as risky as smoking cigarettes. It looks much more dangerous to take these pills than to treat insomnia another way," study leader Daniel F. Kripke, MD, tells WebMD.
The sleeping pills in question are known as hypnotics. They include newer drugs such as zolpidem (the best known brand name is Ambien) as well as older drugs such as temazepam (the best known brand name is Restoril).
Hypnotic sleeping pills actually cause a person to fall asleep. This sets them apart from other sleeping aids, such as the supplement melatonin, which promote sleep through relaxation. Other sleep drugs described as hypnotics by Kripke and colleagues include eszopiclone (Lunesta), zaleplon (Sonata), triazolam (Halcion), flurazepam (Dalmane), barbiturates, and older antihistamines such as diphenhydramine.
Kripke, emeritus professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego, began looking at a possible link between sleeping pills and death risk in 1975. Since then, he and others have published 18 studies that found a link.
In their latest study, Kripke's team analyzed 2002-2007 data from a large Pennsylvania health system. They obtained medical records for 10,529 people who were prescribed hypnotic sleeping pills and for 23,676 matched patients who were never prescribed sleeping pills.
Over an average of 2.5 years, the death rate for those who did not use sleeping pills was 1.2%. It was 6.1% for people with sleeping pill prescriptions. Even those prescribed 18 or fewer sleeping pills a year had a 3.6-fold higher death risk.
Based on these findings, Kripke and colleagues estimate that sleeping pills are linked to 320,000 to 507,000 U.S. deaths each year.
"We think these sleeping pills are very dangerous. We think they cause death. We think they cause cancers," Kripke says. "It is possible but not proven that reducing the use of these pills would lower the U.S. death rate."
