Quality is the best business plan
Toy Story 3 hits theaters today, and it's already winning universal acclaim as an enchanting and heartbreaking wonderwork, employing understated 3D and a "real-time" perspective that deftly capitalizes on the nostalgia and can't-go-home-again angst of a generation that grew up with the series. It has a strong pedigree, with 11-year-old predecessor Toy Story 2 the rare sequel to equal its forebear, 1995's Toy Story (itself the first CGI feature in history). And it joins a lofty stable of films: over the last 15 years, Pixar has put out an unbroken chain of ten commercial and critical successes that have grossed over $5 billion worldwide and collected 24 Academy Awards (including the second-ever Best Picture nom for animation with Up), a legacy that rivals some of the greatest franchises in film history. But there's rumbling on the horizon. Although the studio has been hailed for its originality (of the 50 top-grossing movies in history, only nine were original stories -- and five of them were by Pixar), two of their upcoming projects are sequels, both of them based some of their least-acclaimed films (Cars 2 in 2011 and Monsters, Inc. 2 in 2012). And while 2012 will also bring

Or is this latest entry lasting proof that even the toughest case of sequelitis can be raised to the level of masterpiece? [more inside]

Tales of Future Past* — It's been a looong Monday. Do you want to get off the planet and out of the city to a place where you can really live? Well, here's some food for thought on the way home down life's highways. First, take a break from all this depressing war talk. Then empower yourself by giving yourself some space and maybe taking off for a few days. Drive just a bit slower, turn up the volume and imagine that your mechanic will say the tranny's OK after all. Once you're in the front door, take time to get slightly wired and forget all about politics. Get recharged for tomorrow: have a nice long bath, put your mind at ease, watch Ur Fave shOw, and listen to some soothing music. Now, don't things look a lot better?

We stay here every time we visit our daughter. The staff has always been friendly and helpful.
The rooms are clean and the usual size for a Fairfield. The rooms by the elevator are a little smaller but are still quiet. I always look for a refrigerator in the room and they have one, plus a microwave. The vanity area is not well lit, there is a mirror in the entry hall but it is not lit either. I could not see to apply make up.
The breakfast buffet is the usual, waffles, yogurt, small boxed cereal with many choices. There was some fresh whole fruit and cut fruit.
Wi Fi is free in the entire hotel. The breakfast and common area was inviting.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Carpe JugulumAseize the throatAis the motto of the family of "vampyres" who attempt a hospitable takeover of the kingdom of Lancre in Pratchett's 23rd Discworld novel. When the goodhearted king invited the Magpyrs to celebrate the birth of his daughter, he couldn't know that these modern bloodsuckers would have no intention of leaving. By controlling everyone's mind, they try to turn Lancre into a sort of farm, and no one can think straight enough to stop them. That is, until the vampyres meet up with the local witches: Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg, Magrat Garlick and Agnes Nitt (who is literally of two minds about everything). The perplexing skirmishes that ensue will leave readers shaking their heads in hearty dismay even as they groan at the puns and explanatory notes that pepper the tale. Death (scythe and all) and Igor (of Frankenstein film fame) provide the best gags. The novel exudes the curious feel of old-fashioned vampire and Frankenstein legendsAfull of holy water, religious symbols, stakes through the heart, angry mobs, bad pronunciation and garlic. The vampyres, however, have risen above these clich?s even if their servant, Igor, still has a taste for dribbly candles and squeaky hinges. Pratchett lampoons everything from Christian superstition to Swiss Army knives here, proving that the fantasy satire of Discworld "still ate'nt dead."

From School Library Journal
YA-In the guise of good relations with the Uberwald, King Verence sent an invitation to his daughter's christening to the Count de Magpyr and his family. The Count is a modern vampyr and he has convinced his family they need not fear crosses, garlic, running water, or sunlight. Unfortunately for the land of Lancre, he's right. Luckily, Nanny Ogg, Agnes Nitt (and her figment, Perdita), Granny Weatherwax, and an Omnian priest named Mightily Oats are on hand to save the kingdom. This, the 23rd book in the series, is a marvelous send-up of old horror movies, from the shambling, pieced-together, lisping servant Igor to the torch-wielding mobs.

Here, the blend of the witches, the vampires (SMART, for once...I must say, it was a pleasure to meet this breed), the Watch, all together really made for an enjoyable experience. To see threads from other novels is always half the fun of reading Discworld, for me...to see threads from "Masquerade", without it being "Masquerade, 2" absolutely made it, in my books.
Don't get me wrong. "Carpe Jugulum" isn't "Thief of Time". But that doesn't make it shoddy by any means.^^
If you enjoy watching those old horror b-movies...well, the book reminds a touch of the feeling of laughing at the cardboard tombstones in "Plan 9 From Outer Space"...great satire.
But that's Prachett. This man just doesn't WRITE bad books.
But, after having it for months, I've finally started to read it. Wow, I'm glad that I did!
Let's be honest. The plot is really secondary to the characters. And that is where PTerry shines. He gives us characters with motivations and passions, likes and fears, and he lets the humor flow from that, rather than forcing a plot point to make the humor come out. PTerry's humor is never forced.
However, as many have pointed out, this plot is a re-hasing of Lords and Ladies. Without a doubt, Lords and Ladies is my favorite. So when this plot also takes place in Lancre with an outside force of supernatural beings assaulting the kingdom, it felt like I was coming back to a well-eorn fable. I knew the plot, and I could concentrate on reading about the characters.
And we learn so much about the characters this time. Nanny Ogg and Agnes get some great treatment this time around (which they lacked in previous books), and even Granny Weatherwax gets some new twists. The characters are delicious.
Why a four star rating instead of a five, then? Because PTerry wasn't as inventive this time. In Lords and Ladies, we see Elves in a different way. Cliches are broken, mangled, played with, and twisted. But the Vampires (vampyrs, as they prefer) are somewhat mundane. One of them is even named Vlad, for Pete's sake! PTerry certainly did give us a new take on some of the traits of the Vampires, but they didn't get the much-needed overhaul that the Elves got previously.
Otherwise, an entertaining, highly-readable, highly-quotable book (as Discworld books tend to be). But it's still the younger, less successful brother compared to Lords and Ladies.
"Carpe Juglum" or "Seize the Throat" takes place in the land of Lancre. There is great cause for celebration in Lancre since the Queen has given birth to the first child of the royals. In a massive celebration by inviting many guests. The guest include vampires from Uberwald, and everybody knows not too invite a vampire into your castle. Quickly the vampires take over the land of Lancre, and it is up to the witches of Lancre and the weak in faith priest Mightly Oats to save the dayand drive the vampires back or become a servant to there leader.
In total the book is fun and cute in it's own way. Igor the vampire's servant gives the book many laughs. To get in touch with witches a reader might want to try out other Discworld novels with these characters in it. They beginning is a little cloudy and some earlier information will be helpful to any new Pratchett reader
Attending a naming ceremony for Magrat's newborn, Agnes encounters two new men in her life. Mightily Oats is a priest of Om who's spent far too much time in libraries to act as a rock of the faith. Omnians used to burn people, except, according to Granny Weatherwax, never witches. Time brings change, and Omnism was forever changed by the Prophet Brutha. Disputation, replacing [In]Quisition, led to so many schismatics debating theology that in Oats' case, he's constantly debating himself. Later, when it's Granny he's debating, the scene is one of Pratchett's most outstanding exchanges.
The other young man is more imposing. Vlad Magpyr is a member of a family relocating to Lancre from the Uberwald. They've arrived to take over the country. They're vampires - yuppie vampires, no less. Under the tutelage of Count Magyr, they're trying an Uberwald version of The Power of Positive Thinking. That means they're learning to resist all the usual weapons against vampires. "Garlic? Just a seasoning." Sunlight? Build up an immunity by starting with cloudy days and working to brighter ends. This version of "self-help" has made them very powerful.Read more ›

Keith Schieffer recently ended a 15-year hiatus from the business world when he bought into Starr Body Shop, 3408 W. Sixth Ave.
A longtime instructor at Amarillo College's Amarillo Technical Center's Automotive Collision Technology program, Schieffer stepped away from academia and back into business in February.
"I'd been looking for a body shop business for about four years," he said. "I was in my 15th year at ATC, and I had a comfortable spot at the college. I wanted to make my own decisions and not have to answer to three or four supervisors.
"I wanted to do my own thing," Schieffer said.
"I owned a body shop in Crofton, Neb., before I came to ATC," he said. "I was a firefighter and a volunteer EMT. I was injured in an accident to a degree where I could no longer do the physical work in the body shop. I needed a more sedentary position."
The job as instructor in automotive collision technology afforded Schieffer a steady paycheck and time for his body to heal. Leaving his comfort zone after so many years was "a leap of faith."
"Now I'd be taking on the risks and responsibilities of running my own business," he said. "I'd be responsible for everything. I turmoiled over this decision for a long time before I made it."
Open for Business
Chuck Starr had operated the body shop for about 30 years, and had built up a solid client base, but Schieffer said he wanted to increase it.
"What I did was I sent out 800 cards to generate a new client base," he said. "I started in the phone book at 'A' and highlighted names of people I knew. I went through the whole phone book and then entered those names in a computer program. You get to know a lot of people in 15 years."
Trying to get the word out that he was open was one of the few things that hadn't changed since Schieffer was last in business.
"What's changed in 15 years is the availability of a quality work force. That has gone down and everything else has gone up: the technology; the complexity of vehicles as machines; the cost of employees; insurance; and the cost of materials," Schieffer said.
When he took over Starr Body Shop, Schieffer said there hadn't been an employee, other than Starr himself, in three or four years.
"Now I employ three, including my wife, Kasey, who does the books."
Juan "Johnny" Ricon has been with Schieffer since early April.
"He came from the school-of-hard-knocks training," Schieffer said. "We're going to get him some formal training."
Mark Shipman was a former student in Schieffer's program at ATC, "but lacks one class of graduating. I'm going to encourage him to finish that class and get his sheepskin."
Making Changes
Schieffer said when he first took over at Starr Body Shop, he did a business analysis and discovered that the prices being charged were too low.
"I adjusted the prices where I thought they should be in order to pay the bills and turn a profit.
"When I took over we had one customer," he said. "Three months later we had six and the other six spaces were being let out to contractors.
"It was a blessing to be able to turn it around so quickly."
Though now a businessman, Schieffer said he isn't through teaching. Only this time he said he's trying to educate the public.
"My biggest challenge is getting the public to understand their rights about their wrecked car, whether it was their fault or not," he said. "It's their car, their insurance policy, their money.
"It's their right to choose a repair shop, not the insurance company's," Schieffer said. "If a discount is given, it should go to whose policy it is."
Schieffer said he operates his business under the guidelines of his personal philosophy: "I under-promise and over-deliver.
"If you deliver too quickly, though, people are going to think you skipped something. I offer impeccable service and performance."
Another thing Schieffer offers is informal working hours.
"I'm here Monday through Friday from about 7:15 or 7:30 a.m. to about 7:15 or 7:30 p.m. I've been here as early as 5 a.m. and as late as midnight. I'd like to say that our operating hours are 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., but I'll never turn away a customer.
"I'm always here on Saturday, doing the little things that need to be done," Schieffer said. "It's surprising how many people will stop by on Saturday because they can't get their vehicles in during the week."

We waited forever to see a Jaguar SUV, then finally the Jaguar C-X17 concept arrived at the Frankfurt Motor Show earlier this year. Now, the blue paintwork of that original show car has been ditched in favour of silver, and Jaguar has allowed Auto Express behind the wheel ahead of the production car's debut late in 2015.
It's worth remembering that this is a hand-built concept so we're not expecting the most refined driving experience in the world, but it's great for showing off how the C-X17 will look. Sitting in the blazing Dubai sunshine it looks every inch a Jaguar, from its large XJ-inspired grille to the muscular rear wheelarches and narrow taillights borrowed from the F-Type.
The design team behind this concept is keen to see it through to production almost unchanged as well; as Julian Thomson, Advanced Design Director revealed: "we're not in the business of letting customers down, we can't show this concept and then come out with something that looks nothing like it."
Step in to the cabin and you start to get a sense of what the C-X17 is about; it's the four-seat layout and sporty F-Type steering wheel that reveal this isn't so much an SUV but a dynamic crossover. You sit relatively low down so you feel a little more connected to the action than you do in a Range Rover.
Underneath the bonnet is the 3.0-litre supercharged V6 engine used to great effect in the F-Type but also available detuned in the XJ limo and XF. In the production car it would be bolted in to Jaguar's new iQ[Al] aluminium architecture – set to underpin all future Jags except the sports cars – but here it's a mixture of unique parts and XF leftovers.
Without any sound insulation the roar of the V6 is always with you and there's no polish on the ride or steering but you really get the sense of being cocooned within the C-X17, much like you do in a sports car. That's no accident, as design and engineering teams have worked together from day one to help create these proportions, including the long bonnet and a shallow glass area.
In terms of what a drive like this can actually teach us about how the C-X17 will drive, there's actually very little to learn. But it is interesting to talk to the team behind the project and hear how they want the production version to be "the most dynamic, the most efficient and the best-looking" car in its class.
Those are ambitions that Jaguar holds for each one of its future line-up, and with a generous head of steam behind it, you wouldn't bet against a seriously strong future for Jaguar, bolstered by models like the C-X17.

Written Thursday, November 14, 2013 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Contrast is hitting the Xbox Live Arcade from tomorrow, which means it's launch trailer time. This one showcases more of the 3D/2D gameplay, in which you can explore a 1920s vaudeville and film noir-inspired world and its shadowy dreamscape.
You play as Dawn, the imaginary friend of little girl, Didi. Dawn is able to shift from the fantastical 3D world and into the 2D shadows cast on objects. Didi wants to ultimately reunite her estranged father with her aspiring cabaret singer mother, meaning she'll solve puzzles and uncover secrets surrounding her troubled family's past.
Alongside the fantasy, shadows and noirish world, there'll be a jazzy jazz soundtrack too. Contrast is out tomorrow on XBLA for $14.99. Check out the launch video below.

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Authorities say a Florida financier who bilked victims around the world in a $100 million loan fraud has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison.
Jeffrey Spanier also was ordered to pay nearly $21 million in restitution at his sentencing Monday in San Diego.
Prosecutors say Spanier ran the scam through his Boca Raton-based company, Amerifund Capital Finance.
Authorities say Spanier and others got corporate executives in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Panama, China, England and Belgium to pledge stocks they held as collateral for loans.
The stock was supposed to be held but instead it was sold and the returns used to fund more loans.
Spanier was convicted last year of fraud and conspiracy.
Douglas McClain Jr., also was convicted. A third man, James Miceli, committed suicide before trial.

By Ms. Annette Fournier (IMCOM)December 10, 2009
VICENZA, Italy - More than 700 Soldiers of the Vicenza, Italy-based 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team said goodbyes to their families and loaded onto planes destined for Afghanistan Dec. 9 in Italy.
Announced in July, the paratroopers' mission is to replace forces currently deployed to Afghanistan to maintain the capabilities of NATO's International Security Assistance Forces. They will be among the first American Soldiers to arrive in Afghanistan following President Barack Obama's announcement of a troop surge.
"The Soldiers are absolutely motivated and prepared to go," said Maj. Steven Williams, 173rd ABCT rear-detachment commander. "Their morale is high. They are prepared to fight and do what is expected of them."
The latest group of 173rd Soldiers to deploy followed several hundred of their fellow troopers who have departed Vicenza over the past weeks. The troops flew out of Aviano Air Base, Italy, where Army and Air Force airfield operations specialists coordinate to deploy and redeploy troops. The personnel alert holding area (PAHA) where Soldiers wait to board aircraft is located on Aviano Air Base, but is managed entirely by the Army.
Vicenza is the only garrison in Europe that provides full-spectrum deployment support operations, both to tenant units such as the 173rd, U.S. Army Africa forces and other units within its area of operation. The support begins at Vicenza with staging, marshalling and container movement, follows on to preparing troops and families for deployment and finishes when the last aircraft touches down at its destination. As soon as all personnel and materiel are accounted for, Vicenza personnel start planning for the redeployment, according to Greg Hutcheson, operations officer, Directorate of Logistics, USAG Vicenza.
In this case, the Soldiers received deployment support from Air Force members, and morale support from Air Force spouses and retirees at the PAHA. The troops were met by spouses and retirees taking part in Operation Yellow Ribbon. They provided a continual supply of foods and beverages, including homemade cupcakes and a roasted turkey for the 700-plus troops to snack on. The volunteers in the Aviano chapter of Operation Yellow Ribbon have served thousands of service members in the past five years and try to meet every aircraft, said Noel Parks, an Air Force retiree who volunteers with the organization.
The deploying Soldiers also chipped in to assist in deployment operations. Besides loading their own luggage, when one of the aircraft required a tire change, Soldiers helped carry and mount a spare, supervised and assisted by Air Force and Army specialists.

text: 000 FXUS65 KBOU 240028 AFDBOU Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Denver/Boulder CO 628 PM MDT SAT JUL 23 2016 .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Sunday) Issued at 237 PM MDT Sat Jul 23 2016 So-called cold front dropping past Longmont and Greeley at this time. The combination of the new airmass and some thunderstorms behind the front are dropping temperatures down to around 90. Previous thinking had been that the drier air behind the front would not support storms, but this is not the case as there appears to be some forcing aloft stretching from north of Grand Junction toward Cheyenne and the slight cooling/drying is not enough to suppress the storms. So the main change to the forecast was to include some low POPs across northeastern Colorado and increase clouds through the night. Still expecting not much rain with most of the storms, and localized gusty winds. Sunday looks like our day 2 scenario, and at first appeared to be more active. However there is only slight cooling aloft and the incoming air is cooler but still fairly dry at first. We may recover to a temp of 90/dew point of 50 in Denver by the end of the day, but that is still not enough to generate surface based convection. Suspect it will wind up being like the last couple of days where the activity was more toward evening and really depended on storms originating over the mountains and boundary collisions on the plains to force convection through a weak cap. .LONG TERM...(Sunday night through Saturday) Issued at 237 PM MDT Sat Jul 23 2016 Weak jet dynamics and upslope flow will help scattered thunderstorms to continue Sunday evening, mainly along and south of I-70 and some possibly strong, heading east towards Kansas. The main hazards will be strong outflow winds, some hail and lightning. A few storms may last after midnight over the far eastern plains. The upper high will move north over the state to bring warmer and drier weather on Monday. Most convective activity will remain over the higher terrain and south of I-70, with gusty outflow winds as shown by the inverted-v forecast soundings. A weak disturbance and cool front will move over the area Tuesday which should stabilize the northern areas of the forecast area and produce convection over the south. Temperatures will remain similar to Monday`s readings. Dry northwest flow aloft is expected for Wednesday for a warm and dry day. A shortwave in the flow Thursday will send down another cold front for upslope flow through Friday. Expect cooler temperatures and a chance of storms across the forecast area, mainly east of the divide. The upper ridge will then build north again over the four corners area to bring warmer and drier conditions. && .AVIATION...(For the 00Z TAFS through 00Z Sunday evening) Issued at 628 PM MDT Sat Jul 23 2016 High based convection producing widespread gusty microburst winds. Peak gusts are near 40 knots and those may continue to affect the Front Range airports and KDEN til around 02Z. Then activity is expected to decrease as airmass gradually stabilizes, but a low threat of gusty winds to around 30 knots extends til around 04Z. Thereafter look for VFR conditions. Storms on Sunday may have a little more rain associated with them. && .BOU Watches/Warnings/Advisories... None. && $$ SHORT TERM...Gimmestad LONG TERM...Kriederman AVIATION...Barjenbruch

WASHINGTON, January 14 (IslamOnline.net) - The largest US Muslim civil liberties called on the State Department to issue a report on Islamophobia across the world, as American Muslims have complained of more anti-Islam TV rants.
The proposal was made when the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) and several other Muslim and Arab-American groups met Thursday, January 13, with top State Department officials to discuss a number of issues related to American foreign policy, according to CAIRs Web site.
CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad presented in the meeting -- attended by Assistant Secretary Patricia de Stacy Harrison, Assistant Secretary Richard Boucher and Ambassador William Burns -- a proposal for cooperative efforts to challenge both Islamophobia and anti-Americanism.
The proposal includes such measures as producing a report on the growing phenomenon of Islamophobia, conferences in this country and in the Muslim world to discuss both Islamophobia and Anti-Americanism and domestic and international goodwill ambassadors who can speak about both topics.
By challenging anti-Muslim bigotry, we can help reduce anti-American attitudes in the Islamic world.
And by having American Muslims speak out in support of their nation's values, while at the same time maintaining essential credibility on issues of importance to Muslims worldwide, we undercut growing Islamophobic views in our society, read the report, carried by the group in a press release Thursday.
Awad described the meeting as open and forward-looking.
The meeting came after the State Department released its first report on global anti-Semitism January 5, taking a country-by-country survey of anti-Semitism worldwide from July 2003, to December 15, 2004.
The report was mandated by the Global Anti-Semitism Review Act, which was approved by US President George W. Bush in October.
Influential Jewish leaders applauded the move, saying the very fact that Congress enacted legislation requiring the State Department to issue annual reports is extremely important and highly significant.
CAIR is America's largest Muslim civil liberties group, having 30 offices and chapters nationwide and in Canada.
Pro-Islam Spots
CAIR said in earlier reports and surveys that attacks against Muslims have been on the rise in the United States since the 9/11/2001 deadly attacks.
The recent slur against Muslims was carried in the Fox TV hit show 24, which featured an upper-middle class Muslim family operating as a sleeper terrorist cell.
In the drama, premiered Monday, January 9, the Muslim mother poisons her son's non-Muslim girlfriend because it was feared the girl could jeopardize the terrorists' plan.
The Fox television network said it would provide its stations with TV spots that portray Muslims in a favorable way after it received complaints for featuring followers of Islam as terrorists on the television show.
A Fox spokesman was quoted by Reuters Friday, January 14, as saying it would provide public service announcements sponsored by CAIR to its affiliate stations.
The move was in response to the Islamic council's complaints about the show.
What we are hoping to do is to try and mitigate the damages of the stereotypes because it can bring real-life consequences on American Muslims and their lives here, said Rabiah Ahmed, spokeswoman for the Islamic group.
Citing a public opinion survey conducted by Cornell University last year, Ahmed said television influences viewers' perceptions of Muslims.
There aren't any positive or even neutral portrayals of Muslims on TV; whenever Muslims or Arabs are portrayed it is always in a stereotypical way, she said.
What we are hoping to do is to try and mitigate the damages of the stereotypes because it can bring real-life consequences on American Muslims and their lives here, said Ahmed.
When average Americans don't have any personal interaction with Muslims, whether it be at work or at school, they base their perception of Islam and Muslims from what they see on TV, she added.
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan opened in December a seminar on combating Islamophobia through education, inclusion and example.
Annan also warned in an earlier black-tie dinner at the UN headquarters in January that Islamophobia poses a challenge to the spirit that he said unites peoples across the globe.
He said that since the 9/11 attacks many Muslims, particularly in the West, have found themselves the objects of suspicion, harassment and discrimination.
Too many people see Islam as a monolith and as intrinsically opposed to the West. Caricature remains widespread and the gulf of ignorance is dangerously deep.
Why is the US state department meeting with groups that have ties to terrorists? I do not care what Muslims think or want. They have made themselves the enemy. They should convert or leave.
So, it's the state department job to monitor the world? And television? Alrighty then....
CAIR lays the terror attacks of 09-11 at the feet of Islamophobic Americans
They may as well say.....we had it coming....
CAIR is a Saudi Wahhabi front group...
CAIR is simply an old fashioned front group for al Queda, misusing our laws and freedoms to sabotage the War on Terror. It is modeled after the old Stalinist front groups. The IslamoFascist CAIR must be exposed and destroyed if our democracy is to survive.
How about a world wide Islamofascist butchery report???
"By challenging anti-Muslim bigotry, we can help reduce anti-American attitudes in the Islamic world."
Could someone please direct me to a list of links showing articles where the "good" Muslims from around the globe are standing up in solidarity, denouncing the "bad" Muslims and jihadists that are within their midst?
Anyone? Anyone? Didn't think so...
Henceforth whenever kooks come out criticizing age old American traditions and normal society, we can accuse them of suffering from "nominaphobia" and label them as nominaphobes.
Fresh from the Sudan, with bloody strings of human flesh stuck in their teeth, members of CAIR complain about people who fear Islam.
LOL. In some black way, this truly did cause me to laugh outloud.
"CAIR Proposes World Islamophobia Report"\
CAIR has it's work cut out for it...only their fellow-travelers in the Mainstream Media
can counter the truth of racical Islam being spread via the alternative channels such
as the Internet.
Such as: Hamas, Al-Aksa Matyrs Brigade, Osama Bin Laden, an Ayatollah from Iran, Zarqawi, Muqtada Al Sadr, Lewis Farakhan...
Ah, the list goes on. So much goodwill in the Muslim world! :)
How about a Christophobia report first?

CAIR = The Enemy Within.
What a sick joke. After 9/11 these clowns are lucky Americans haven't torched every mosque in the country.
Not enough paper or computer room for the daily report. Might try hourly per reigon?
A phobia is an irrational fear. considering the abunace of evidence that many, many Muslims are either terrorists or terrorist supporters, or are afraid to speak out or provide testimony against Muslim terroists, the fear is rational.
Hmmm.... That would make Michael Powell the chairman of the Federation Communications Commission, wouldn't it? That should provide sufficient coverage to satisfy CAIR.
Fair enough:
If it bothers them so much perhaps they might look into their habit of releasing video tapes of beheadings to the media.
Maybe they should tell their sponsors to quit inviting Muslim and French news teams along when they detonate a roadside bomb or fire off a mortar.
Maybe they could fight stereotypes by requesting that a future episode of "The Sopranos" off a nice muslim boy by accident.
Hey, what about a world conference on Naziphobia? Poor Nazis, huh?
perhaps they can merge it with the other insane cult reports.
What is there to be afraid of? getting your head chopped off with video posted on the internet? body mutilation of females? no use of deoderant? death sentence to all who dissent? Courts which hold unbelievers as less than human? Letting your children die to feed the ego of your local cult leader?
CAIR is a hate group no different than the KKK.
CAIR is a front for "The Brotherhood," a Muslim group determined to overtake the world.
Do you think the Christians in Sudan, Jews in Israel or Hindus in India would be rated high on Islamphobia?
Perhaps they have a reason to hate the "religion of peace."
I submit a partial list of Islamophobic news reporting in the recent past, the kind of reporting that CAIR wants eliminated:
Bali nightclub attack in Indonesia that killed more than 200.
Attack on Djerba, Tunisia Jewish temple, killing 20 German Jews.
Attack at Faylakah in Kuwait.
Attack on the French tanker Limburgh in Yemen.
Attacks on Mombasa in Kenya against Jewish tourists, who were attacked in the their hotel, and the unsuccessful attack on the El Al airline with two missiles.
Attack on the Marriott Hotel in the Indonesian capital
Attacks in eastern of Riyadh, on residential districts where Americans and other westerners live
Electrical power blockouts in the northern portions of America and the southern areas of Canada
Electrical power blackouts in Great Britain.
Attacks in Istanbul against the Jewish synagogues.
Attachs in Istanbul battles against the British bank and the British consulate, in which the British consul was killed.
Battle of Badr Riyadh in the residential complex
Attack on the United Nations building in Baghdad in which Sirgo Des Milo, Kofi Annan's envoy, was killed
Attacks in Nasserya against the Italian forces
Attacks in Casablanca
Attempted assassination of a dangerous ally of America, Pervez Musharraf
Attacks in Madrid against three trains, killing 200 and injuring more than 1500 injured.
9-11-01 mass murder of thousands of innocent people in NY and Washington, DC.
many thousands of other mass murders in the Sudan, Thailand, India, Russia, and many other nations.
We don't need FICTIONAL TV shows fantasizing about how wonderful Islam and its followers are. That's the Goebbels/CAIR approach. All we need is reality: 9/11, beheadings, suicide bombers, Sadam, etc., to see the true face of Islam.
So Khofi wants to combat people's dislike of homicide bombers by converting everyone to Islam.
Which will initially be met with complete silence as they all scramble for the dictionaries....I LIKE IT!
I nominiate "nominaphobia" for the FReeper lexicon, to go alongside Grampa Dave's "Islamakazi"
I don't have a fear of Islam. I have a dislike of Islam.
To give these State Department officials credit, they were mugged. They were invited to a discussion and then used for propaganda purposes.
But I wouldn't give them a whole lot of credit. The officials named are all pretty senior, and certainly should have known better. If you attend a meeting at the invitation of people like Goebbels and Himmler, you are going to take a propaganda mugging. So, as many freepers have already suggested, DON'T GO.
Never doubt that we are looking straight at the Belly of the Beast.
Again. Phobia is an irrational fear.I propose to make an arguably grisly photo collection displaying every act of Islamist butchery, beginning with the Achille Lauro and dare anyone to call me Islamophobic. Just as Germans had to be rounded up and force marched into a concentration camp to confront the evil which had been done in their name, so with the Islamists. Of course, Germans had a cultural and spiritual base that enabled them to recognize the enormity of their acts. I doubt the same is true of Islamists. Anti-Islamic sentiment is real and it is THEIR PROBLEM TO FIX. It is not fear that we feel, but disgust. Let them misunderstand us to their detriment.
Binny was always going on and on about the Crusades, and calling is evil Western infidels "Crusaders". His underlings in al Jazeera and CNN parroted the dogma. Until more and more of us began pointing out that A: the Crusades were hundred of years ago and NONE of us were alive then, including Binny and that B: Islam, being about 1,400 years old is about at the developmental stage that Christianity was during the Crusades which makes Islamakazis C: Crusaders.
While it caused the Crusader rhetoric to be toned down a bit, the memory still rankles some people

I can't see why the tobacco plant itself should be kitniyos. It's nowhere on this list; I'm unaware of any grain, semigrain, legume, or the like that can be made from the tobacco plant; and tobacco's closest edible cousins (botanically speaking) are potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants -- all of which are generally eaten on Pesach.
I have no clue how tobacco is processed, flavored, modified, etc. before it makes its way into tobacco products, though. But I can see no reason why the plant itself should be kitniyos.

QUIP: This week in my Vitality Cuisine column, I discussed the benefits of selecting root beer instead of other sodas because it offers many positives, most especially little if any acid.
This subject quickly raised the question, "I prefer to save money whenever I can so, I like to buy soda in the lower priced two liter bottles. However, once you open them, they start to go flat. Is there anything I can do to prevent or at least slow the flattening process?"
TIP: There most certainly is and my solution will have you saying, "Duh!" the moment you hear it!
The reason the soda goes flat is that there is an ever-growing area for the soda to expand in. If you remove that space, you in turn lower the speed in which it will go flat.
That said, what I have discovered is simply by pouring any remaining soda into smaller, twist-off bottles, filling them so there is only about an inch of headspace and then sealing tightly, will greatly reduce the speed at which that soda goes flat.
An added bonus is the smaller bottles are easier to store and tote, too!
For this reason, always keep some empty – cleaned – bottles handy. You will be glad you did!

Released: Jun 01st, 2003
Running Time: 95
Director: Toni English
Company: Adam & Eve Pictures
Cast: Nina Hartley, Anthony Hardwood, John West, Kim Chambers, Ron Jeremy, Chris Cannon, Dee (I), Mia Smiles, Christi Lake, Keri Windsor
Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: All-Sex
Fans of Carrera and Hartley will rent, so stock up.
Nina Hartley hosts a sex advice talk radio show and practices what she preaches, as we find out when she deepthroat assaults John West and takes his mat inside her missionarily and doggily.
Though Hartley bitches about the societal pressure for women to have perfect bodies, her friends all seem to have tight ones, and know how to use them. They all cavort around a sexy gym and get laid with alarming frequency.
For instance, Steven St. Croix is shooting pictures of Mia Smiles at the gym when she suddenly decides to clean the lens in his pants with her mouth. First she uses the lips on her face to give a yummy b.j. and then the ones between her legs to ride him reverse cowgirl style. Yee haw!
Early in the tape, Keri Windsor recalls her first encounter with her current beau, which kicked off with her delivering a superb deepthroat blowjob. Ya give a little, ya get a little, and she is soon having her cooch worked on by her mate's tongue. Oral turns to doggie as she gets pounded from behind, only to shove her blonde stud against the couch and ride him via reverse cowgirl. It takes missionary to jar the cum out of him.
A sexy locker room g/g liaison, a Chris Cannon-Christi Lake rendezvous and blonde-on-blonde catfight are thrown in for good measure, but it's the Hartley, Smiles and Windsor g/b scenes that really leave a mark. Too bad Asia Carrera doesn't even have sex here, despite what you may think from her top billing on the boxcover...

Music and Instruments of Kabuki
by Will Goodwin
Nagauta--Traditional music of Kabuki theatre. Literally meaning "long song". The schools of shamisen music into two different schools. One is called "sekkyo", while the other is called "jiuta". Both stem from ancient Buddhist music of Japan.
During performance, this music is divided into different sections within the play. There are three of them, each having a different name. Gidayabushi, shimoza ongaku--played in lower seats below stage, and incidental music played onstage called debayashi. Early kabuki music was much like that of Noh music with added singing. Indeed the first performances of kabuki drama used a noh ensemble for the music. Music with the shamisen was previously popular with brothel music and when eventually incorporated into kabuki drama it brought this connotation with it. Hence it gave the newly formed theatre a much more boisterous atmosphere than the aristocratic noh. Debayashi--Naguata ensemble when onstage.
Figure 1-Shamisen player
Three stringed instrument similar to a banjo but without frets. The "doe", or the body of the instrument, is usually made of stretched cat or dog skin; however, many of the newer instruments are made with various types of plastics. The shamisen is the central instrument in the Kabuki music. It's importance lies in that it plays the melody of the Naguata song, which establishes the specific mood of the kabuki scene. Its origins traces to China where a similar, much older instrument called the san-hsien was being played. This instrument was originally an ovular, longer-necked version of the shamisen, but morphed into the modern shamisen when it was exported to Okinawa, Japan in 1392. The shamisen has a characteristic buzzing sound on the lowest pitched string called a "sawari" that is caused by the cutting of a small niche on the head of the guitar. This alteration of the instrument was done by early Japanese musicians who wanted to change the shamisen to play more like their native biwa, a Japanese stringed lyre popular among court nobles of the Heian period. The evolution of the plectrum used to play shamisen has a story of itself as well. Originally the shamisen's plectrum was similar to that of a biwa plectrum, which was small and round-like. As playing styles changed over time, though, a larger more powerful plectrum was necessary to create more volume. This gave way to the much larger, pointed, modern plectrum, which is commonly made of ivory. Although there are many different sizes and variations of the shamisen, the one most typically used in kabuki is a medium-sized one (chuzao), the neck usually measuring 2.5 cm in width, 75 cm in length. The body measures 18.5 cm across and 9.5 cm deep.
Figure 2-Duelist shamisen players
The ko-tsuzumi is the primary drum of the hayashi--the small hand drum. Its hourglass body is necessary for the pitch changes that it creates during performance by the use of the strings on the sides. This is not unlike the African talking drum, which features pitch-changing side strings also, yet it is struck with a mallet instead of the hand. The heads of the drum are made of horsehide, which are stretched across the body with two encircling strings. The ko-tsuzumi is held on the right shoulder with the left hand and struck with the right hand. The tone of the drum may be changed by flexing the strings but also by hitting the drum on different areas of the head. The larger counterpart of the ko-tsuzumi is the o-tsuzumi, which is usually made from cowhide.
There are four types of tones created by the drums:
- Pon--created when center of drum is struck while applying, sudden, slight pressure to the surrounding ropes.
- Pu--created by hitting center of drum with index finger with a little rope tension.
- Chi--created by hitting edge of drum with one finger and slight rope tension.
- Ta--played with two fingers on edge and lots of rope tension.
Figure 3-Ko-tsuzumi Figure 4-O-tsuzumi
The takebue, which is also known as the yokobue or shinobue, is a seven-holed flute that is played with the first joint of the fingers. Typically tuned with the shamisen, a flute is chosen based on in what the music is written and most flutes' root notes are anywhere from E to A flat. The flute's primary duty onstage is embellish the melody the shamisens play. Colorful overtones add different ambiences to the scene onstage while the shamisen keeps the basic rythm. This is not to say, however, that all flute music is dependent on the lead of the shamisen. For example, in part IV of Utsubozaru the flute has a solo that allow it to musically illustrate the imaginary autumn winds onstage. The takebue is bamboo and has been associated with Japanese folk music for centuries. Therefore, it is heard many times during folk scenes with ordinary townspeople.
Like the Bamboo flute, the noh flute is constructed of bamboo and has seven finger holes. However, its usage is much different kabuki performances. The bamboo it is made of is stripped inside out and cherry bark is attatched to it for better tone. The range is two octaves plus a fifth, yet when the upper octave is reached it begins to flatten and a minor seventh is achieved. This musical instrument is used considerably less than the takebue because of its radically different tone compared to the other instruments. It is primarily played with the taiko drums during their rythmic processions.
Figure 5-Takebue Figure 6-Noh flute
Kabuki plays have a unique musical prelude for each of their shows. The sound of the hyoshigi (wooden clapping sticks) is the first noise heard upon the beginning of the play. Next to join is a melody produced by the noh flute, which is then accopanied by the deep threatening sounds of the o-daiko, symblizing that the play has begun. The shamisens are always to follow with the chorus onstage. Because kabuki drama incorporates almost as much dance in it as lyrics, there are two main types of kabuki music: dance oriented, and lyric oriented. These categories are further subdivided into smaller groups called hanmono (poetic) and danmono (poetic). Each type of music requires different types of training. The different types of historical forms of kabuki music are even more numerable and listed below:
- Meriyasu--simple, short melodies played when actor is called to utilize improvisation and express inner emotions.
- Shosa--music that accompanies the dance-poses of the actors
- Joruri--abbreviated pieces derived from longer joruri type pieces.
- ozashiki--non-dance, non-linear music that is composed freely without a designated formula.
- ozatsuma--narrative music form.
- Yokyoku--music featuring noh-style singing.
- Shinkyoku--newer contemporary pieces.
The geza-ongaku is the offstage music heard in Kabuki that is not covered by the onstage musicians. These performers are located behind a bamboo curtain invisible to the audience on the downstage right part of the stage in a room called the Kuromisu or "black curtain". These performers have a plethora of small percussive and other types of instruments at their creative disposal. These instruments are specifically for the creation of atmosphere and sound-effects onstage. The major types (not all, since there are so many) of Geza instruments are listed below:
- Okedo--small folk drum with two heads tied together. Used mainly in folk scenes, this drum is played with tapered sticks.
- Daiboyoshi--two-headed drum played with thin sticks and is used in Shinto-music.
- Gaku-daiko--short bodied drum similar in size to a tambourine. Used in war scenes.
- Dora--small gong with a protruding center. Used in temple scenes and for signals.
- Soban--gong with grainy surface that is made from thin metal giving it more percussive sound. Used upon the entrance of rough characters.
- Atari-gane--small brass gong played with small bone hammer.
- Hitotsu-gane--Used in religious scenes, this gong is much like the atari-gane except that it stands on three legs.
- Rei--sutra bell used in Bhuddist religious services. The bell is used to indictate, not surprisingly, religious scenes in kabuki drama.
- Mokkin--wooden xylophone that is smaller than a western xylophone yet played the same.
