Fudge has been a part of my Christmas memories for as long as I can remember. My grandma made it and my mom makes it and now I'm making it. To get you in the candy making spirit, we searched the Family Kitchen and blogosphere to find some very traditional fudge recipes as well as a few non-traditional {like the nutella and sea salt chocolate and caramel fudge pictured above}.

What Do You Have Set Up for Office Phones?
Have you ever heard of mobile device management? Let us take a step back a moment. What type of phone situation do you have going on for your employees at work? If the company is small enough, or does not rely heavily on phones to do its business, then you may not need to establish anything for a phone plan.
But, if your employees use their cell phones heavily for job related purposes, then you will most certainly want to establish some sort of plan or agreement with everyone. This helps to keep company data safe, and helps to set strict rules and boundaries for those using the phones.
- Bring Your Device
One option for mobile device management is known as BYOD, or Bring Your Own Device. This option is when you allow your employees to use their own devices for work. It

During the 20th century the words "freedom" and "democracy" were used by politicians as slogans to justify their powers, rather than as instruments of government. To be able to use them as instruments of government, these words have to be understood and defined non-politically.
The real conflict is not between "freedom" and "totalitarianism", but between "government", that is, the task of protecting freedom, person, and property of the individual and "politics", that is, use of government powers to advance the interests of the group of individuals constituting a government and of those whom they chose to favor at the expense of the less favored by them groups.
This is true both of governance within nation states, and of relationships between nation states.
This is true regardless of whether governments are hereditary, imposed by a military coup, or elected by a general ballot.
Tyranny is frivolous use of power. By frivolously attacking nations either directly, as they have done it in Afghanistan, or through its "friends", as in the present Israeli war against the Palestinians, the United States itself will be seen as a tyrant super-power.
To be stable, peace must be imposed by rule of law. Without effective supra-national law based on the principle of equality between nations, great or small, peace will be just as unstable as peace in a lawless city which is ruled by rival criminal gangs.
Leaving aside freaks and cranks, terrorism is the result of inability to obtain redress against injustices committed by established governments.
A good example from recent history is the state security system in the Soviet Union: unconquerable military might; impenetrable state frontiers; total control over every aspect of life of each and every of its citizens - no person in the Soviet Union could be sure that his wife or husband, brother or sister, parents or children are not government informers; total state control of the media, education, trade, industry, the legal system - no place not only for terrorism, but even for any form of deviation from official government ideology - any deviant thought lead to a spell in a secure mental hospital - total 100% patriotism. In comparison with this 100% water-tight Soviet system, the American Patriot Act, Homeland Security, etc are like a sieve with the bottom removed. But in spite of all the water-tight security, the Soviet system collapsed.
The Soviet system was based on a political paranoia, just as the present American War on Terror is based on a paranoia.
Concepts like "overriding national interests", "super-powers", "balance of power", "friends and enemies" are remnants of the ideologies of the 20th Century Empires and of the Cold War.
But terrorism is the result of inability to redress injustice by peaceful means. And feelings of injustice are a powerful motivator - even more powerful than fear and paranoia.
The attackers of the 9/11 did not use powerful technology developed by themselves. They used cardboard knives and American civil aircraft.
There is no limit to human ingenuity.
When smaller nations suffer injustice at the hands of "great powers" and cannot redress these injustices by peaceful means, the only options left to them are either to accept injustice or to seek to redress that injustice by the only means available to them - terrorism.
The suggestive meaning of the word "democracy" is "government by the people", as opposite to government by a single person or a group of people.
Government, however, is an administrative task which cannot be performed by all the people acting at the same time. It has to be performed by a group of people headed by a single person. So, in practice, democracy means the method of appointing a government by elections in which people take part.
Election of a government by votes only allows for a periodic change of government. It does not guarantee that the elected government will be honest, competent and effective.
The only way to ensure that a government is honest, competent and effective is to ensure that every person holding a public office is obliged by law, under fear of heavy punishment, to prove that every statement made by him is true, relevant to the matter in hand, logically valid, and, if implemented, is capable of achieving the correct results.
There is no country in the world today where such law is in force. As a result most people in the world depend on government by political demagogues, fumbling from scandal to scandal, while crime and corruption of every kind prevails.
Electoral government in America and other Western countries was the result of a natural development in the specific conditions of those countries. It was not imposed. The fact that America is one of the most prosperous countries in the world is not due to democracy in itself - it is a result of many factors.
Attempts to impose electoral government in countries with different conditions does not turn these counties into Americas. Hitler was elected democratically, which did not prevent him becoming a dictator. Oswald Mosely, a British admirer of Hitler, could not reproduce his idol's success in Britain, because of the different culture of that country. Democratically elected governments in Pakistan have invariably been corrupt, and were replaced by military dictatorships. Democratically elected governments in some countries of Africa had been worse than some dictatorships. Some Arab countries with traditional hereditary governments are more prosperous and more economically liberal than some democracies.
President Putin himself have discovered from his own experience that in the conditions under which has came to power in Russia an American type democracy was unsuitable, and that he had to become an iron-fisted "Russian oligarch" to save Russia from chaos and government by organised crime.
The very idea of "democracy" is based on the assumption that government power is a privilege, rather than a duty.
Because power is seen as a privilege, everyone is assumed to want to "participate" in government. And because government power is understood as frivolity, everyone wants to "influence" the government to promote one's wishes.
If, however, the powers of government are limited to performance of the government duties, and these duties are based on the principle of equality under the law and strictly defined and controlled, government becomes just another boring and difficult task, which nobody will want to do, any more than the passengers of a bus want to drive the bus instead of the bus driver.
No government should have right to interfere with legitimate economic activities of private individuals, either within its area of governance, or outside of it.
Free trade is a God-given right, not a favour or concession on the part of any government. Interference with this right by governments is abuse of government powers.
The events of 9/11 did not require support of any state. All the equipment used by the highjackers was obtained in the US. The flying skills were also learnt in the Western counties. It might be true that the plot itself was developed by persons who happened to be in Afghanistan or that the highjackers received guidance and directions in Afghanistan. But these facts are purely incidental. The plot could have been developed anywhere in the world, and the same is true of any guidance and directions.
The operation of the 9/11 did not depend on the existence of any military style training camps, or huge international financial operations attributed to the al-Qaida organisation, nor did it depend on the poverty or wealth, or the system of government in Afghanistan. All that was necessary for that operation was for a group of some 20 persons to be sufficiently motivated to undertake such operation.
Terrorism is the result of inability to redress an imaginary or real injustice by peaceful means. In countries with developed legal systems commercial disputes are resolved in civil courts.
In countries without a developed legal system the only way of resolving a commercial dispute is use of violence, or threat of it.
The present War on Terror conducted by the Unites States is an equivalent of a group of musclemen taking the law in their own hands in a lawless city. This cannot eliminate terrorism. Only an impartial supra-national legal system will make terrorism a thing of past history. Just as the establishment of legal systems in the European nation states lead to the disappearance of the once common system of resolution of civil disputes by means of a duel (a pistol shoot-out, or a sword fight, between the disputing parties).
Of especial importance is the responsibility of individuals vested with powers for the purpose of government. And yet it is people in positions of power that only too often use their powers to avoid any responsibility for the results of their actions.
This issue has plagued Mankind throughout all human history, and is still unresolved - "Who is governing the government?"
Terrorism can only be eliminated by removing its causes - the absence of workable peaceful means of redressing injustices caused by governments.
As long as there are no workable peaceful means of redressing injustices caused by governments, victims of such injustices will try to redress such injustices by taking the law into their own hands and committing acts of violence by whatever means are available to them.
But as long as some nations have WMD and other nations are afraid of being attacked with such weapons, these other nations will try to obtain or develop WMD. All nations have right to defend themselves, not only Israel.
But, if all nation states abandon use of any weapons and maintenance of national armies, and entrust the responsibility for their security to a supra-national police, then this problem will be resolved.
But in a world governed by rule of impartial law alliances lose their meaning. If any form of aggression is a crime, then there is no need to gang up to protect oneself from any enemies, nor will it be legal to gang up against others to commit some act of violence against them. So what is necessary are not multilateral institutions, but supra-national institutions which will ensure the safety of all.
This is similar to the Federal Government of the United States, which assures the safety of all the States of the Union. Would the United States be a safer place, if all the states composing it became "sovereign" little kingdoms feuding between themselves for power, glory and prestige of their little kings? But this is what has been going on at the international level.
Is it Yasser Arafat besieged by the Israeli tanks in a building about to be razed by the Israeli bulldozers as they did it in Jenin?
Or is it those Palestinians who do not want to put up with the Israeli occupation and resist it by the only way available to them?
Or is it those idealistic British Muslim youngsters who having heard that the world's greatest super-power is bombing a Muslim country, went to Afghanistan and joined the Taliban as volunteers, and are now kept by the US administration as "unlawful combatants" in Cuba?
Are all these the real "Foes of Humanity"?
But to perform it successfully, the American administration will have to "rise up to the occasion". They will need to develop a global world view, rather than that of a nation state.
The pride and arrogance of a 20th century "super-power" will have to be abandoned.
The mind set of "friends", "enemies", "alliances" and "national interests" will have to give way to the mind set of one world where all nations large or small, rich or poor are equal under the law.
They have to overcome the trauma of the 9/11 and their obsession with "anti-terrorism" and to develop an informed and objective view of the phenomenon of terrorism.
They have to learn to put the same value on the blood of an Afghani, a Palestinian or a Mexican as they put on the blood of an American or an Israeli.
They will have to learn that justice is not a favour to be bestowed on one's friends and denied to one's enemies, but an instrument of honest government, and an absolute right which must be given to every one in equal measure.
May God give the Government of the United States the wisdom, vision, humility, honesty and sense of justice required for their great task and guide them in their noble endeavour.

Urge Costco to Sell Ethical Gold!
From the Philippines to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, gold mining often has devastating impacts on the workers, communities and the environment. Child labor, forced labor and other abuses of internationally recognized labor rights are widespread in this industry. For example, gold was the most frequently named commodity appearing on the US Department of Labor's List of Goods Produced by Child or Forced Labor from Africa to Asia to Latin America. But it does not have to be like this.
Over 70 of the largest jewelry retailers in the world have endorsed the No Dirty Gold campaign's http://www.nodirtygold.org/goldenrules.cfm">Golden Rules to take responsibility for the conditions under which gold is mined. These guidelines help prevent the serious abuses often associated with the gold industry
Now, retail giant Costco has the opportunity to become an industry leader in the sourcing and sale of responsibly-mined gold. The Golden Rules include respecting worker rights and international labor standards as well as fully disclosing information about the social impact of gold mining and a number of other important principles.
Urge Costco to stand against labor rights exploitation in the gold industry by joining other industry leaders in supporting – and fully implementing – the Golden Rules.

Running a business as a charitable company - annual obligation to become a charitable company: if you are thinking of setting up a charitable company, it is easy to get carried away by your enthusiasm. This is only natural but it is important that you understand both the steps needed to become a charitable company and the ongoing obligations of the organisation. To set up a charity company you will need at least two trustees. You will also need to produce your governing documents, which set out how the charity is to be run and what your charitable purpose is. The next step is to decide on the legal form your charity will take.
There are a number of options to consider concerning the structure of your charity company. A tried and tested method is that of incorporating a charity company that is limited by guarantee. This provides your trustees with limited liability. A newer structure is that of a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). This was brought in at the end of 2012 to provide a single regulatory framework for charities. Traditionally charities have to report to both the Charity Commission and Companies House. A CIO only needs to report to the Charity Commission. The CIO also provides trustees with the protection of limited liability.
When you decide to become a charity company, you will also have a number of annual obligations. If your charity has an annual income in excess of £10,000 then by law you must complete an annual return. This must be completed within the ten months after every accounting period. This return includes all of the details about your charity, including contact details, what it does and how it makes and spends its money.
This information is kept on the Charity Commission website, where over 6 million people look for charities every year, so it can also be an important fund raising tool. If your charity raises less than £10,000, you should still use this return to meet your legal obligations in keeping your details up to date.
You must produce annual accounts, much like a regular company. There are different rules depending upon the size of the charity. Your charity also needs to produce a trustees' annual report. If the charity receives more than £25,000 per year, this report must be sent to the Charity Commission.
This expands on your charity's accounts and covers the work of your charity and more detail on income and expenditure. Such reporting is vital to maintain confidence in the running of your charity company and with Coddan Formations Agency at your side you can have confidence that your reporting is in good hands.

Catch Me If You Can - Broadway's Bigger-Than-Life True Story
July 26, 2011 - by Griffin Miller, Theatre EditorWord of mouth -- an underrated publicity bazooka if ever there was one -- along with theatrical daredevil Norbert Leo Butz's off-the-chart rendition of "Don't Break the Rules" on the 2011 Tony Awards broadcast, has (most deservedly, I might add) swept the high-octane musical comedy Catch Me If You Can out of the shadows and into an ever-expanding spotlight that has first-time audiences exiting the show in a "yowza" state of mind and ticket sales in a hearty upward spiral.
"We'd been pretty much flying under the radar," says leading man Aaron Tveit, who plays the pivotal role of Frank Abagnale, Jr., the true-life, world-class con-artist who managed to pull off impersonating a jet pilot, a doctor and an attorney -- all before his 21st birthday.
The show is based on the book and 2002 Steven Spielberg film of the same name starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Abagnale, Jr. and Tom Hanks as his Javert, FBI agent Carl Hanratty. (Butz took home the Best Actor in a Musical Tony for his portrayal of Hanratty.)
According to Tveit (pictured below, far left), the musical's multi-generational popularity is one of its greatest assets, with older audience members who lived through the show's swinging-sixties backdrop (bring on those Hullabaloo fashion statements and faux white Christmas trees!) getting every timely reference. (Bonus points from the senior set for a Sing Along with Mitch TV show extravaganza. Gen-Xers and trickle-down generations reading this should check out Mitch Miller and his gang on YouTube -- pretty surreal stuff five decades later.)
Still, it's the savvy way the book (by four-time Tony winner Terrence McNally), score (by Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, the Tony-winning team behind Hairspray), and first-rate cast brings the post-Kennedy era to life that so brilliantly blurs the age appeal of Catch Me If You Can. This is a full-bodied musical that doesn't skimp on mind-blowing production numbers, familial quirks (and heartbreaks) as well as a genuine twist of fate that redefines personal redemption before the final curtain falls to a buoyant standing ovation.
And Tveit -- one of Broadway's most winning young actors -- hits the ground running from the opening moments of what is (aside from intermission) a pedal-to-the-metal performance. "My role is basically a two-and-a-half-hour athletic event," he admits, thus when he's off-duty he's as rigorous about preserving his stamina as the most dedicated tri-athlete.
"I don't drink, I don't go out after the show, I rest as much as possible, and get massages regularly," Tveit says, adding that sticking to these disciplines has allowed him to survive his nightly singing and dancing cat-and-mouse sprint for months at time.
Good thing, since he's playing in a league with some pretty powerful teammates, including Broadway veteran Tom Wopat (exceptional as his father, Frank Abagnale, Sr.), Kerry Butler (who last starred on Broadway in Xanadu) as the young nurse who wins his heart, and Rachel de Benedet as his graceful and beautiful French mother. And, of course, the incomparable Mr. Butz (below), whose chemistry with Tveit is not only fun, but also surprisingly touching. This is particularly evident in a phone conversation leading up to the song "My Favorite Time of Year," in which both characters relate on a "Oh my God, I'm alone on Christmas and opening up to my adversary" moment.
Still, for Tveit, the most rewarding aspect of playing the role was having the real Frank Abagnale, Jr. on hand. "To be able to actually talk to him, to ask him what he was thinking, and so on... that is amazing to me as an actor," he says, adding how the script makes a point of bringing Mr. Abagnale's story full circle by not merely showing him as a teenage grifter with a charming wink and smile, but rather, like the film, immortalizing Abagnale's transformation into one of the FBI's top authorities in the areas of fraud, embezzlement, and secure documents -- an association he has maintained for over 35 years.
"Frank comes back to the show for Thursday night talkbacks a couple of times a month," concludes Tveit. "Never announced beforehand, just a post-show invitation to stay after and meet the man behind the story."
Catch Me If You Can is currently playing at the Neil Simon Theater, 250 W. 52nd St. For tickets, call 877-250-2929 or click here.

A Different Time - A Buffy/Wes & Fred/Nick RPG
Current Location
Las Vegas, Nevada
The sound of the locker door shutting filled the small room as Nick slipped his jacket on. He opened his small duffle bag and slipped the pictures Doc Robbins had given him earlier. They were photos from a recent autopsy he'd done. The case had been closed when everyone came to the conclusion it'd been a wild animal who had killed the woman. But, Nick had another theory.
A theory he could only discuss with Fred. If he told the rest of him he thought it might be a demon, he'd end up talking to the department's shrink.
"Hey," Warrick said when he walked in. "You off already?"
"Yep," Nick said with a grin. "Greg finally got those DNA results back. Bagged the perp and now I'm goin' home."
"Got plans with Fred tonight?" the other man asked as he put his bullet proof vest inside of his locker before sitting down on the bench.
"Nah. Just a quiet night at home," Nick said as he picked up his duffle bag. "Maybe they weekend we can meet up and do something. She's been wantin' to go to that new Mexican place over on Melrose."
"Sounds good. Just give me a ring."
"Will do," Nick said before telling Warrick goodbye and leaving the locker room.
He walked through the building, a smile to his face. He couldn't believe how much his life had changed. Over six years ago, he was madly in love with Fred, wanting to marry her. She was living in Los Angeles and he had just started working for the Las Vegas crime unit. They had the perfect relationship and were looking forward to their lives together.
Nick could remember the day she disappeared as if it'd happened the day before. They had spoken on the phone for about an hour, making plans for Nick to drive to Los Angeles to visit her. She was supposed to call later than night, but she didn't. The next call he would get was to tell him she had gone missing.
Shortly after, he started a frantic search for her. He had almost lost his job because all he could think about was her. If it hadn't been for Grissom, he would've been unemployed. But, he still couldn't get her out of his system - no matter how many years had gone by. Fred was the love of his life, and he continued to search for her.
A few months before, Nick got a message at the station, asking him to call someone named Wesley. He recognized it has a Los Angeles number, and even though he didn't want to get his hopes up, he couldn't help but to wonder if it was about Fred. When he called, he spoke to Wesley and found out Fred had been found.
He left for Los Angeles that night and went straight to the hotel. When he got there, Wes warned him Fred had been through a lot and she might be a little different. He went up to her room and at first she was skittish and said he wasn't real. It broke his heart but he knew he couldn't lose her again. That's when Nick reached out and softly touched her cheek, like he had so many times in the past. And, it was that gesture which brought Fred back to him.
They spent a week at the hotel, Nick trying hard to understand what happened to her. He was given books to look at and he couldn't believe there was another culture out there, with vampires and demons and witches. It took Nick awhile to understand it all but he tried - for Fred's sake.
It was finally decided the best place for Fred was in Las Vegas with him. They went back and she slowly recovered and they grew close again. Nick was glad the love they'd had before was still there, and this time it was stronger. Nothing would ever take his Fred away from him again.
After leaving the lab, Nick drove to a local Taco Hut and ordered a pack of tacos, along with some soda. He had called Fred earlier and they decided to just have takeout for supper and lay around for the rest of the night. With the tacos in hand, Nick pulled his Tahoe into the driveway and drove it into the garage.
When he stepped inside, he was greeted by their black lab. "Hey, Max," he said before the dog limped off. Nick always wished he could do something for the dog, who'd been shot in his hind leg, but the vet said he wasn't in pain and Max loved running around and jumping on their bed - while they were trying to sleep.
Setting the food on the kitchen table, Nick walked into the living room, where Fred was standing and putting a book back on its shelf. Walking over to her, he wrapped his arms around her from behind and smiled. "How's my girl?" he asked before placing a small kiss on her neck.
2007-01-12 05:31 am (UTC)
Nick grinned when Fred turned around and looked at him. His smile faltered a bit when she admitted to having an episode. He wished there was more he could do for her but Nick knew she needed time. Just like he needed time after being attacked by the cable guy, who'd been stalking him. He knew someday Fred would get over it. Until then, he would be there for her.
"I'm sorry, darlin'," he said before he found Fred's lips on his. He returned the kiss, moaning at her sweet taste. It was so Fred.
When they broke apart, he smiled and softly tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. "Maybe," he said, giving her a playful grin. "Maybe not. How much trouble would I be in if I said I didn't get tacos but instead a big slab of liver." He quickly took her hands in his so she wouldn't smack him. "I got tacos. Why don't you clear off the coffee table? We can eat out here and snuggle on the couch."
Nick then cupped her face and gave her a soft kiss before pulling back. "I love you, Fred and I'm always going to be here for you," he seriously said before releasing her hands. With Max following him. he went into the kitchen and took the tacos out of the bag and placed them on a set of trays he had. Once he'd put some napkins on the trays, too, he brought the food and drinks out to the living room. "Dinner is served," he said before setting the tray on the coffee table and sitting down on the couch.
) (
2007-01-13 02:52 am (UTC)
"Mmmm...it's okay," she whispered. "Definitely better now that you're here."
When he asked if he was in trouble for getting liver instead of the tacos, Fred's eyes widened as he grabbed her hands, holding them away from her body. He knew she hated liver - always had, would never touch the stuff. She knew he had to be joking but was relieved when he admitted it, telling her that the tacos were there.
"Dinner while snuggling on the couch sounds wonderful," Fred told him, leaning up in his kiss. "And I love you too."
She stood there for a moment, watching him as he turned to go into the kitchen with Max on his heels. She had always thought he was beautiful, and he had grown even more so in the years they had been apart in her opinion. Maybe it was because she hadn't seen him in so long before he had walked into her room, she wasn't sure. All that mattered was that she thought he had...and she was thankful and considered herself very lucky that he had waited for her to come back.
Turning, she went over to the coffee table and quickly cleared up the magazines and notepads and books that were sitting there. She had sort of been jumping around from thing to thing, finding herself going off on tangents as something would remind her that she needed to check something else, which she would do. That was how she had ended up reading the Physics book - she had run across reference to a theory on a website.
After getting all of that stacked up and pushed aside, she grabbed the laptop Nick had given her to use and put it in standby before shutting the lid and placing it aside too. She had just finished when Nick came out of the kitchen with the tray of tacos and soda.
"That smells good," she said, sitting beside him on the couch and snuggling up to him while they began eating. "I know we've been eating a lot of tacos recently, and you're probably getting sick of them and all, but...for some reason, it's comforting. Reminds me of our first date - getting tacos before we went to see Garth."

Nick unwrapped the tacos and sat them out before picking one up. "Made sure they made them fresh when I was there," he said, giving her a smile. He picked the tomatoes out, never being a fan, and fed them to Max. He then looked at Fred again, his smile still in place. Some people saw snuggling and eating as some silly, but to Nick, it was where he wanted to be. He would do this every night if it meant Fred was with him.
"I don't mind the tacos. Better than that greasy diner Warrick always made me go to before and after work. Plus, it's what my girl wants so who am I to argue," Nick commented as he finished off one of his tacos. He looked over at his duffle that he'd dropped in the living room before looking at her again. "That was also the night your daddy caught us in the barn, making out. I thought he was going to whip my ass."
Chuckling, he shook his head and took a drink of his soda. Roger had been so protective of Fred when they were younger - he still was but now he seemed to respect Nick more, especially since he was taking care of Fred and protecting her. They knew Nick would do everything in his power to protect their daughter. And it was the truth - Nick would do anything to make sure Fred was safe and protective.
He finished off his second taco and leaned back on the couch. Nick pulled Fred back with him and wrapped his arms around him. "You smell good," he murmured as he nuzzled her neck. He wanted nothing more than to take her to bed but he wanted to show her the autopsy photos first. Nick knew she could probably shed more light on what was going on. "When you're finished eating, I have something to show you. I think we might have demons in Las Vegas."

2007-01-13 05:05 am (UTC)
"You're so good to me," Fred told Nick, returning his smile as she took a taco and started to eat it. She had to laugh when he took the tomatoes out - some things never changed, and for that, she was grateful.
As she leaned against him, she finished her taco and reached over for another one, remembering their first date. She usually didn't let boys touch her after one date, but with Nick, everything had been different - and they had known each other for a while anyway - so after the concert, they had snuck around the house to the barn. When her dad had found them, wrapped in each other, she had been afraid that their first date would also be their last date.
Luckily, it wasn't, and her dad had grown to accept Nick over time.
"Well, it was kinda worth it, you know," she told him. "Always did think you were great kisser. I even remembered that in Pylea."
She had just finished the taco and was reaching for a third when he pulled her back against him, kissing her neck, causing her to close her eyes and sigh softly in contentment, the food forgotten for a moment.
"Hmmm...you feel good..." she told him before he said he had something to show her and mentioned demons. Turning around, she looked at him. "Well, yeah, I wouldn't be surprised since according to Wesley, demons are everywhere, and some are good and some are bad, and...since you work for a crime scene investigation unit, we're not talking about good demons, are we?"
She looked at the food, then shook her head and looked back at him. "What do you want me to look at?" she asked softly.
) (
2007-01-13 05:40 am (UTC)
Once the words had left his mouth, Nick started to worry. He didn't know if Fred was ready to look at dead bodies, or talk about demons. He never wanted to hurt her and was afraid she might get upset over him pushing her too soon. But, when she said she'd look at the things, Nick felt relief. He needed to start having more faith in her and her recovery.
Standing from the couch, Nick picked up his duffle bag and unzipped it. "A couple weeks ago, Grissom and I did a crime scene out in the desert. The body was pretty torn up and was covered in some sort of substance," he started to explain as he pulled out a report Greg had snuck to him. Normally, Nick wouldn't take evidence from the crime lab but since the case was closed, and it was obvious the victim wasn't killed by a human, he made an expectation to the rules.
"Greg did a toxic report on the substance and it came up as unknown," Nick said as he handed the reports to Fred. Greg was smart, but Fred was smarter. "I don't know if you can make anything out of it. I wish I still had some of the substance but Greg got rid of it once the case was closed."
He then rooted through the bag and pulled out the autopsy photos. "These are pictures taken of the victim before Doc Robbins did the autopsy. You can see some of the substance on her clothes. We were made to close the case and say her cause of death was because of a wild animal," Nick said before rubbing his forehead. "I have a friend looking into it and seeing if there's been similar killings in the surrounding areas. I don't know. I just don't like the idea of demons roaming around town."
Mostly because he didn't want them hurting Fred.
) (
2007-01-13 06:34 am (UTC)
Biting her lip, Fred reached up and took the reports from Nick as he explained what had been going on. She vaguely remembered he mentioning the case before, saying that there were some strange aspects that needed further investigating. Opening the folder, she furrowed her brow as she read over the chemical breakdown.
"That's not right - those two chemicals shouldn't be able to co-exist together in the same space without combusting...or at the very least causing corosion." She tapped a line that had several compounds that hadn't been identified at all. "Maybe one of these kept those from doing that? I wish you had some of the substance too, but maybe I can contact Wesley and ask if he's ever heard of some of this stuff - he's had a lot more experience with it than me after all. Most of what I know right now if from books...and...well, you know."
She looked up at him and took the pictures, nodding when he said they had officially attributed the death to a wild animal. That happened a lot, Wesley had told her, and it hadn't surprised her, after some of the things she had seen in Pylea. Turning her attention to the picture, she gasped at the sight of the mutilated body.
"Oh, my God," she whispered before looking up at Nick. "Nick, I...I recognize this. In Pylea, there was a demon monster...big and ugly, like a...a...I couldn't even describe it if I wanted to, but sometimes slaves would go missing, and when their bodies were found...they...it looked like this. I...I didn't think they lived in our dimension."
A possibility about the demons and how they were in their dimension started to cross her mind, but she quickly shied away from it, not wanting to consider that possibility. "We definitely need to show this to Wesley somehow."
) (
2007-01-13 06:51 am (UTC)
Nick listened to Fred speak and slowly nodded his head. He knew a lot about science, but not as much as Fred. "Greg said the same thing but just figured the machine was off and sent it off to get fixed," he said. When Fred looked at the pictures, he moved closer to her and placed his hand on her back, making sure she knew he was there for her if she needed him.
"Pylea?" he asked. His first instinct was to pull the pictures away and not let her look at them anymore. He wanted to protect her from everything in the world, and never wanted her to be reminded of what happened before. But, Nick didn't. He knew Fred was strong and would stop if she needed to.
When she mentioned getting a hold of Wesley, he furrowed his brow. "We can call him in the morning and fax the pictures to him. I know of I place we can fax them from," he said as he carefully removed the pictures from her hands. "I think that's enough for now. We can figure out more tomorrow after getting a hold of Wes." He placed the papers away, knowing if he allowed Fred to keep them, she would be up most of the night, researching.
"How about we do something else that doesn't involve demons?" he asked as he stood from the couch and held out his hand. "I really missed my girlfriend today and would like to spend some time with her, in bed. If that's alright with her."
) (
2007-01-16 04:26 am (UTC)
Having Nick's hand on her back, offering support, helped Fred to keep her mind from running away with her. She didn't know what kind of demon this might be - though she was sure it was a demon. For all she knew, there was a similar kind of demon here in this dimension. For all she knew...for all she knew...
She looked up at Nick, nodding when he said they'd call him in the morning. Wesley was their best bet to figure this out - for all her time in Pylea, she was still figuring stuff like this out. She was wondering if she could find more information on the Internet to give to Wesley when Nick pulled the pictures from her hands and put them away, but before she could protest he was holding his hand out to her.
"I missed you too," she told him softly, taking his hand and letting him help her up. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she leaned forward to kiss him before giving him a smile. "And I think so time together in bed would be wonderful."
She hadn't been certain, not that long ago, if she would be ready to sleep with Nick again, after all that had happened and the time they had been apart. But he had been so sweet and gentle with her that when the time had come, being back in his arms as he made love to her had seemed right and amazing.
Reaching down, she took his hand and led him into the bedroom. Max seemed to realize what they were planning, so he stayed where he was, curled up in
chair. Inside the room, Fred turned back to Nick.
"I think this was the bed you were referring to," she asked with a smile.
) (
2007-01-16 05:00 am (UTC)
Nick smiled as Fred agreed to go to bed. He'd been worried she would want to sit out there and stare the pictures all night long. After giving Max a look, wondering if he was ever going to give him back his favorite chair, Nick followed Fred into their bedroom. He closed the door behind him and glanced over at the bed.
"I believe it is, darling," he said before he leaned down and softly kissed her.
As they kissed, he reached down and tugged at the hem of her shirt. He pulled back long enough to pull it over her head before kissing her neck. Nick's hand moved around to her back and easier unclasped her bra. With his mouth still on her neck, he pulled her bra off and moved his mouth down to her breasts.
"You smell so good," Nick said as he nuzzled against the soft skin of her breast. He found one of her nipples and sucked on it, moaning as it hardened in his mouth.
His hands moved down to her jeans and he unbuttoned them, knowing he needed her naked. As he moved his mouth to her other nipple, he pulled her jeans and panties down. Taking a step back, he groaned at the sight of her. "You're so beautiful, Fred," he whispered as he felt himself start to strain against his jeans.
He wanted nothing more than to strip his clothes off and thrust into her, but he wanted to pleasure her first. With a smile, he took her hand and had her sit on the edge of the bed. He kneeled down and hissed a little. Reaching down, he undid his jeans and unzipped them to give himself some relief.
Nick then wrapped his arm around her waist and looked up at her. "Just enjoy for now," he murmured before he dipped his head down and started to suck on her clit as pushed two fingers inside of her.
) (
2007-01-16 05:40 am (UTC)
When Nick pulled on her shirt, Fred raised her arms, letting him pull it off her, shivering a little in the air conditioned chill of the room. A soft moan escaped from her mouth at the feel of his lips on her, especially when they closed around her nipple. The sensation almost sent her stumbling, so she wrapped her arms around him, holding him tight to keep from falling over.
"Nick," she exhaled, her eyes fluttering close. Oh God, the things he made her feel. Even though she had come to think she had made him up during her time in Pylea, the moment he had touched, it had all come rushing back just how real he was and how he made her feel. She was so caught up in it that she wasn't completely aware of him pulling her jeans and underwear off until he had pulled back, telling her she was beautiful.
When she had come back, she hadn't felt beautiful. After five years of feeling dirty and messy, she hadn't thought she could ever be beautiful, especially with the scars now crossing her back from where her Pylean owners had beat her. She had been so scared to let him see her, see those, because it would be a reminder that she wasn't the Fred he had been in love with anymore. But even with the scars, he had looked at her the same way, touched her the same way, and that more than anything made her feel beautiful.
"So are you," she told him, wanting to reach out and pull his clothes off, but before she could, he was gently drawing her down to the bed and kneeling in front of her.
Moments later, she felt his mouth on her clit and his fingers inside her, causing her to grab the bedspread as her hips bucked up against him. The sudden wave of sensations through her almost robbed her of her breath. "Nick..."
His touch quickly sent her spiraling toward that edge. More, she need more. Needed to come, needed him inside her, needed to know that he'd always been there and never let her go. It crashed over her, making it hard to think and speak. All she had ever wanted was Nick, and she had him back.
"Oh...oh God," she groaned, the need was quickly heading toward overload, and she didn't know if she'd be able to take it until she let out a cry, her body tensing for a moment before she came hard against his hand and tongue.
) (
2007-01-16 06:02 am (UTC)
Nick continued to lick and suck, his fingers thrusting into her harder. He loved everything about her - her scent, her taste, and the little sounds she made as she got closer to edge. He could always tell when she was getting close so he started to lick and suck even harder, his fingers going even faster.
When she cried out, her muscles contracting around his fingers, Nick felt his cock throb. He closed his eyes, willing himself to not come as he licked her clean. Gently removing his fingers, he licked them clean and then stood from the floor. Reaching down, he pulled his jeans and boxers down, sighing in relief, his cock finally free from their confines.
Sitting down, he softly kissed her lips, his hands running over her flushed body. He pulled back and pulled off his shirt, and dropped it to the floor. "I love you so much, Fred," he whispered as his eyes ticked over to the bedside table. Inside were two things he wanted to pull out but he didn't know if it was the right time.
With a sigh, he leaned over and took a condom out of the drawer. He then reached down and pulled out the lock box from under it. He smiled at Fred and handed her the condom. "You can decide on that. You may not want me anymore after what I'm about to do," he said before unlocked the box.
Inside was a small black box and he took it out. "A couple of weeks before you went missing, I bought this. I kept it, hoping to give it to you some day. There was even a period of time when I wore it because I needed you closer to my heart," he said as he looked Fred in the eyes.
Nick then opened the box, revealing a small engagement ring with a single diamond. "It was all I could afford back then and I'm sure I can get something better now. I just want to spend forever with you," he said, his erection forgotten. "Will you marry me, Fred?"

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been handed a one-match suspended stadium ban and fined £50,000 by the FA for comments made about a referee.
The 52-year old criticised referee Robert Madley for failing to award Chelsea a penalty in the Blues' 1-3 loss to Southampton.
Chelsea went 1-0 up but were pegged back just before half time. With the score at 1-1, Madley penalised striker Radamel Falcao for diving in the penalty area, with replays showing the Colombian was falling before he made contact with Saints keeper Maarten Stekelenburg.
After the game Mourinho heavily criticised referees in general, saying:
"I think it's time to be a little bit honest and to say clearly the referees are afraid to give decisions for Chelsea.
"The result was 1-1 when it was a huge penalty, and, once more, we didn't get one.
"And the penalty was a crucial moment in the game with the result 1-1.
"And, I repeat, if the FA wants to punish me, they can punish me. They don't punish other managers, they punish me, but it's not a problem for me."
Following the ruling, the FA, who have several run-ins with the Portuguese before, said in a statement:
An FA statement said:
"Mr Mourinho's suspended stadium ban will be immediately invoked should he be found by an Independent Regulatory Commission to have committed a further breach of FA Rule E3 for any comment or statement to or through the media before 13 October 2016."

If the 307 needs rebuilt you're in for a disappointment. Decent quality performance pistons are NLA. You're best bet is to store the 307 in a dry place if it's that important to keep it but having a numbers matching "307" isn't going to get too many people excited and it sure won't make much difference in value if you decide to ever sell it.
You'd be much happier with the car if you swapped in a more performance oriented engine and it would actually increase the value to anyone looking for a '70 RS. |
As Hippie said, a #'s matching 307 just doesn't excite folks, yank it and store it. Go to the "Year One" web site and look at their 383 crate engine that is dyno'd at 400 hp and 400 ft lbs. for $2995. OR buy a 350 vortec roller motor out of a truck and build it...or???? your options are endless. I will ask you, why would anyone buy a nice clone Z-28 with Hugger orange paint and the stripes with a 307.....ain't gonna happen. Good luck with your build.
The real interest and value is in "all original" cars. Value depends heavily on correct restoration parts and documentaion (like protect-o-plate) that verify originality.
For you that ship has sailed: The 12 bolt rear is great, but date code correct doesn't cut it as "original" especially since your protect-o-plate says 10 bolt. Also, the rear disc brakes are great, but they would have to be "original" equipment. I don't have any data on rear disc brakes for 70 Camaro, so I don't know if they were even available as an option. The good news, the '70 Camaro is a great car, fairly rare and they make great drivers. Keeping the 307 for a future correct restoration is not a bad idea, but the value of keeping it requires restoring the car to correct "original" configuration. Unless your car is a Z/28, the tach and 12 bolt don't belong (could there be documeted exceptions? do you have the documentation?) For me, trying to build a 307 into a performance engine is a non starter. Limited success can be expected, with more cost and less performance than most of the other small block engines that you could use. In fact a more modern stock vortec 305 would outperform most 307 builds. Get to work on a good 350 or 383 build, use aluminum heads and modern EFI for a screamer with street manners and reasonable fuel economy. My personal preference for show, chrome/billet has been done to death, focus on good detail to make your engine bay show worthy - check my journal, my engine has zero chrome (will have a fuel line and bracket in chrome when done - not intentionally chrome). |
I would store the 307 it's not going to do alot for that 70, But if you build a 350 or 400 for it then it would be sweet.JMO Post some pics for us also.

307 ?
thanks guys you all have said the same thing in different words. I had a # matching 71 Chevelle 454 365hp M22 car with all the paperwork. I loved the building of the car but it was show quality and you really couldn't drive it without spending a day cleaning it. It now sits in a collection in CA. this time I want a car that I can enjoy and drive. I must be still hung up on # matching as that was important with the Chevelle. I guess now do i do a 350 or a LS motor

Being you want a driver, than I don`t recommend anything with high horsepower or anything else that may temp you into nailing on it at the risk of twisting the body. I recommend getting a 1996 and up Vortec 350. You can put very little into these engines and get alot back. With the right pieces it`ll give you plenty of low end torque to get the car moving with decent mileage. You don`t have to have hot rod pieces to enjoy a driver. The route I took on my last driver builds was to keep everything mild and focus on the low end torque the engine made since on the street I wasn`t looking to race or attract attention, I was just looking for rock solid transportation that would get up and go when I needed it to yet have good manners.
Personally I like the Vortec option. You can build a mild 1 Pc. rear main roller cam 350 or 383 with mostly factory parts that your Grandma could drive to church but could easily put that Camaro in the high 13's on 87 Octane. Back it up with a built 200-4R and 3.73 gears and it would run as good as any real 1970 Z/28 but get a lot better mileage. I think Shiftworks makes a conversion kit to adapt your factory shifter to a 200-4R or 700R4 shift pattern so you can keep the factory console and stirrup shifter.

This paper describes a uniform approach to the automation of verification tasks associated with while statements, representation functions for abstract data types, generic program units, and abstract base classes. Program units are annotated with equations containing symbols defined by algebraic axioms. An operation's axioms are developed by using strategies that guarantee crucial properties such as convergence and sufficient completeness. Sets of axioms are developed by stepwise extensions that preserve these properties. Verifications are performed with the aid of a program that incorporates term rewriting, structural induction, and heuristics based on ideas used in the Boyer-Moore prover. The program provides valuable mechanical assistance: managing inductive arguments and providing hints for necessary lemmas, without which formal proofs would be impossible. The successes and limitations of our approaches are illustrated with examples from each domain.

text: Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) Market Cap: $1.4 Billion Z-Score: 0.21 (as of September 2008) How the mighty have fallen! AMD was once a genuine competitor in the global semiconductor business. Its market share (2.9%) and global ranking (no. 8) in the industry peaked in 2006, but was still dwarfed by Intel ( INTC) that has a vise grip over the industry, with market share in the 12-13% range (Market share and ranking data source: iSuppli Corp.). AMD's market cap also peaked in 2006 at around $24 billion. Revenues peaked in 2005 at about $5.85 billion. However, strategic mistakes have since plagued the company. AMD over expanded its production facilities, knows as "fabs" in the industry. In 2007, the company made mistakes with the design and production of its quad-core server and desktop chips. Earlier this month, AMD announced that it was going to delay a planned spin-off in the company's attempts to outsource its chip production. Now, AMD faces declining market share, an economic dilemma and cash-rich competitors, such as Intel and Texas Instruments ( TXN), which can weather the current storm. AMD's debt rating is CCC+, which is categorized as "junk." In 2005 and 2006 combined, the company generated nearly $2.8 billion in cash flow from operations. In 2007 and 2008, the company burned a lot of cash (while I don't have the exact amount, I estimate the total to be just over $1 billion). AMD's debt grew from $1.3 billion at the end of 2005 to $4.7 billion at the end of 2008. When you put this all together, AMD is in serious financial distress. If the company cannot sell or spin off assets and the chip business remains weak, AMD will have to put itself up for sale or face the possibility of bankruptcy. Prev 1 of 4 Next

This restaurant is located just down the street from the Colisseum. The food was good but not very good French food. We go to France often and eat at different restaurants throughout the country. We did have our Steak Tartare prepared tableside along with the Crepes Suzette. Nice presentation and it was a nice change of pace from Italian food. Prices were on the upper side and thought it was high for European standards. I would go back but not rush back.

The Statehouse Polar Bear Pageant by John McClaughry
The Menace of Global Warming, like a bad B movie, isn't about science or truth. It's about generating enough public hysteria to justify putting governments in charge of taxing and rationing all human energy use and thus controlling the world's economy.
Some gullible Vermonters will fall for VPIRG's image of the cuddly polar bear, and keep on clamoring for Sen. Shumlin's legislation. Hopefully, a majority will soon come to recognize this scam for what it is. The Failure of Vermont Conservatism By Nathan West
To indict "moderate" or "liberal" Republicans or to cite the seemingly insurmountable success of progressive Vermont elements ignores the central fact that the failure of conservatism is, to put it plainly, the result of a lost opportunity stemming from a lack of historical consciousness, a historical consciousness that other conservative activists, thinkers, and leaders have tapped into. The reason for this is that the conservative movement in Vermont has ignored the historical model of the national conservative movement, an error that has caused cultural and political failures, something most glaringly apparent in the aftermath of the 2000 legislative election.
H.520 Stopped, For Now Anyway By Mark Shepard
Clearly if they really thought carbon emissions were the source of global warming, they would not enact a new tax on energy that emits no carbon.
Levying more taxes, creating more government, increasing the cost of energy generation from Vermont's most stable source of carbon-free energy, and undermining the business environment by reneging on previous agreements continues the trend toward making Vermont too expensive for working people to live. Here was H.520 in a nutshell: Vermonters give up more earnings to taxes and energy, while our better paying jobs go elsewhere, forcing people to work multiple jobs.
Nuclear Terrorism vs. Global Warming By Robert Skinner
Allison Graham has just written a new book entitled "Nuclear Terrorism: the Ultimate Preventable Catastrophe." In the book, Allison warns of Bin Ladin's energetic efforts to acquire nuclear weapons and the likelihood that he will order them detonated on US soil. He describes a nuclear terror scenario where Al Qaeda ships in a nuclear weapon(s) into an American port(s) - say Boston, New York, or Los Angeles - and the rest will be a horrific history for America and mankind. Allison believes this is the prime issue Americans need to be focused upon. One must ask if the Democrats should be attempting to shift the American attention onto Global Warming. Al Gore recently said in an NBC interview that his prime goal is to make Global Warming the most important issue for the 2008 Presidential elections. I'm certain, Graham Allison, the dean of the JFK school of Government, would disagree.

Forbes ranks Vermont 32nd for business By David Gram, The Associated Press, July 14, 2007
"Obviously, Forbes is a magazine that business leaders read and follow closely. ... If they're dropping our rating that's not a good thing for our economic future," said Kevin Dorn, secretary of the state Agency of Commerce and Community Development. Dorn said lawmakers needed to take to heart Gov. Jim Douglas' pleas that they lower the state's taxes, look for ways to reduce energy costs, loosen regulations and take other steps to make the state more business-friendly.
Legislators Sustain Governor's Veto on Energy Bill By Terri Hallenbeck, Burlington Free Press, July 12, 2007
Democrats came up 12 votes short of overriding the governor's veto of an energy bill in the House on Wednesday, then couldn't quite pull off an effort to resurrect the bulk of the bill.
True Energy Issues Remain By Damon Brink, Burlington Free Press, July 12, 2007
There is a bigger issue than the funding source for H.520. There is a bigger issue than global warming. It's called the loss of our integrity.... What a travesty. The funding piece of this bill and the way it has been promoted is a shameless, over-reaching, irresponsible, self-indulgent, inaccurate, harmful, neglectful, childish move to try to force, by way of over-simplification and emotional dishonesty, a "solution" that has nothing to do with the "problem."
Another Call for Government Planning By Art Woolf, VermontTiger.com, July 11, 2007
I'm not sure Rutland Northeast Supervisory Union superintendent William Mathis is in the same league as Ellen David Friedman, but he argues that what Vermont needs is a long-term economic plan to deal with the aging population and poor job prospects. A Five Year Plan, maybe? I sure hope not.
The Xs, Ys and Zs of Act 60 spell: Y-O-U L-O-S-E By Ed Shamy, Burlington Free Press, July 8, 2007
The cash flowed, the tykes were educated and everybody went on with the business of incurring debt and shoveling snow. Life was simple for the working stiff. Some loose lips leaked word of the arrangement to the Legislature, and lawmakers were predictably outraged that Vermont citizens were being given unfettered access to their own money.
Missing The Forest For The Trees Caledonia Record Editorial, July 14, 2007
There is a lot of truth in the old metaphor, "He/she can't see the forest for the trees," i.e. the close-up view masks the greater reality farther away. That's exactly what happened to Peter Shumlin and Gaye Symington and some other Democratic leaders, in their futile effort to sell a personally favorite product to a public whose sales resistance they did not (and do not) understand. They mistook their enthusiasm and the support of the people who elected them (trees) for the will of the people of Vermont (forest).
When Fairness Equals Suppression Of Free Speech Caledonia Record Editorial, July 10, 2007
Since then, talk radio has sprung up. It is commercial and market sensitive. It lives or dies on its strength in attracting money-paying sponsors. And that strength comes from the army of people who want to hear it. It has been a huge success, then and now, for the conservative point of view, which people clearly want to hear, not being able to hear it from the rest of the media. It has been a huge failure, then and now, for the liberal point of view, which people clearly are tired of. Witness the crashing and burning of Air America in little more than one year. It was a liberal network designed to smother Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and conservative talk radio in general. Nobody wanted to hear it. Nobody listened to it, and its sponsors deserted it one by one.
Influence from the Shadows By Oliver Olson, Vermont Tiger, July 16th
The more interesting question concerns the supporters of H.520 (I'm speaking of the moneyed interests, not the grassroots supporters). Who are they, what has been their role in the process, and what do they hope to achieve?
Deserting Petraeus By Charles Krauthammer, The Washington Post, July 13, 2007
Finally, after four terribly long years, we know what works. Or what can work. A year ago, a confidential Marine intelligence report declared Anbar province (which comprises about a third of Iraq's territory) lost to al-Qaeda. Now, in what the Times's John Burns calls an "astonishing success," the tribal sheiks have joined our side and committed large numbers of fighters that, in concert with American and Iraqi forces, have largely driven out al-Qaeda and turned its former stronghold of Ramadi into one of most secure cities in Iraq. It began with a U.S.-led offensive that killed or wounded more than 200 enemy fighters and captured 600. Most important was the follow-up. Not a retreat back to American bases but the setting up of small posts within the population that, together with the Iraqi national and tribal forces, have brought relative stability to Anbar.
Unleashing the Iranian Opposition by Daniel Pipes, Human Events, July 11, 2007
These factors, combined with the mullah's near-phobic reaction toward the MEK, suggest that the organization presents a formidable tool for intimidating Tehran. Alas, Westerners presently cannot work with the MEK, due to a 1997 decision by the Clinton administration, followed five years later by the European Union, to offer a sop to the mullahs and declare it a terrorist group, putting it officially on a par with the likes of Al-Qaeda, Hamas, and Hizbullah. A Portuguese member of the European parliament, Paulo Casaca, notes that "Officials on both sides of the Atlantic are on the record as saying that the only reason why the group was put on the U.S. terrorism list in the first place was to send a goodwill gesture' to the Iranian regime." But the MEK poses no danger to Americans or Europeans, and has not for decades. It does pose a danger to the malign, bellicose theocratic regime in Tehran.

One Haditha Hero Cleared David Allender, The American Thinker, July 11, 2007

Al Qaeda on the Run Feasting on the movable beast By Michael Yon, National Review Online, July 11, 2007
In appearance, few might suspect that Abu Ali would stand up to the American military. In talking with the soft-spoken Abu Ali, his manner is similar to that of experienced American combat leaders. He is direct and clear in his speech (through an interpreter), and his intelligence is evident. An intelligent enemy who knows the dangers who is not part of an insane death-cult promising 72 virgins and eternity with God to martyrs and yet stands his ground against Americans over a long period, must possess great courage and annealed strength. Even among enemies, those qualities command grudging respect. I told one man in the back of the Stryker that after standing his ground with the Americans and surviving this long; al Qaeda was hopeless when Abu Ali and the 1920s shifted their martial attentions.
While we were driving in the belly of the Stryker into Buhriz, I asked Abu Ali, "What did you do to al Qaeda?"
Abu Ali said that on April 1, 2007, he and his people attacked al Qaeda in Buhriz for their crimes against Islam. He also said something that many Muslims have said to me: Al Qaeda are not Muslims. (Both Sunni and Shia have said nearly the exact same words, at times on video.) Abu Ali said they fought hard against Al Qaeda, and on April 10, they asked the Americans to join the attack. It worked.
Moving Forward in Iraq By Kimberly Kagan, Opinion Journal, July 11, 2007
In Washington perception is often mistaken for reality. And as Congress prepares for a fresh debate on Iraq, the perception many members have is that the new strategy has already failed. This isn't an accurate reflection of what is happening on the ground, as I saw during my visit to Iraq in May. Reports from the field show that remarkable progress is being made. Violence in Baghdad and Anbar Province is down dramatically, grassroots political movements have begun in the Sunni Arab community, and American and Iraqi forces are clearing al Qaeda fighters and Shiite militias out of long-established bases around the country.
Al Qaeda Entrenched in Pakistan, U.S. Officials Say By David Morgan, Reuters, July 11, 2007
Al Qaeda has become entrenched in a remote corner of Pakistan, and the United States fears a military strike could spawn new militant activity in the country, U.S. officials said on Wednesday.
Shocka: Half of Foreign Jihadis in Iraq are Saudi by Allahpundit, Hot Air, July 15, 2007
Theyre paying for the jihad; they might as well help staff it too. No one in the Saudi government knows anything about it, of course, notwithstanding the sophistication of their security apparatus and the fact that mass-casualty attacks inside Iraq coincidentally serve the Saudi end of delegitimizing the Iranian-friendly Shiite government.

Long Term Fiscal Burdens Continue to Pile Up by Mike Franc, Human Events Online, July 13, 2007
"The most serious threat to the United States," U.S. Comptroller General David Walker has warned, "is not someone hiding in a cave in Afghanistan or Pakistan but our own fiscal irresponsibility." Walker, the federal government's chief auditor, has been traveling across the country like a modern Paul Revere encouraging ordinary Americans to focus on the long-term fiscal threat we face.
Political Liquor's Economic Hangover Just Beginning By Dr. Henry I. Miller, TCS Daily, July 11, 2007
From pre-school to planning funerals, green is in. Very in. But green policies and decisions need to be based on more than a vague desire to save the planet. The principles of the natural sciences and economics must play an essential role -- a part of policy-making that often eludes politicians. The latest examples are the federal government's efforts to reduce the United States' dependence on imported oil (now more than 60 percent) by shifting a big share of the nation's largest crop, corn, to the production of ethanol for fueling automobiles. Good goal, bad policy. In fact, in the short- and medium-term, ethanol can do little to reduce the vast amount of oil that is imported, and the ethanol policy will have widespread and profound ripple effects on other commodity markets. Corn farmers and ethanol refiners are ecstatic about the ethanol boom, of course, and are enjoying the windfall of artificially enhanced demand. But it is already proving to be an expensive and dangerous experiment for the rest of us.

The Global Flat tax Revolution Cato Institute Policy Report July/August 2007
In the early 1990s, Rep. Dick Armey (RTX) proposed a flat tax. He would have junked the Internal Revenue Code and replaced it with a system designed to raise revenue in a much less destructive fashion. The core principles were to tax income at one low rate, to eliminate double taxation of saving and investment, and to wipe out the special preferences, credits, exemptions, deductions, and other loopholes that caused complexity, distortions, and corruption. The flat tax never made it through Congress, but it's been adopted by more than a dozen other countries since 1994. It's unfortunate that the United States is missing out on the tax reform revolution. Instead of the hundreds of forms demanded by the current tax system, the Armey flat tax would have required just two postcards. Households would have used the individual postcard to pay a 17 percent tax on wages, salary, and pensions, though a generous family-based allowance (more than $30,000 for a family of four) meant that there was no tax on the income needed to cover basic expenses.
Breaking the Oil Habit By Richard Miniter, Hudson Institute, July 12, 2007
For too long, we have been paralyzed with fear that the Arabs would turn off the oil spigot. We feel that the oil barons have an Achilles' heel: terrorists rely on rulers who only have one source of wealth and poweroil. Minus oil, the total value of the non-petroleum exports of the 22 members of the Arab League plus Iran is less than the exports of Finland. Without oil, the main exports of the Near East would be carpets, dates and honey. How can we get there? Let's start with transportation. The U.S. Air Force gulps down 70% of all oil consumed by the American government, mostly jet fuel. (Those who argue that Iraq is a war for oil have it backwards: we use more oil fighting in Iraq than we could ever hope to import from it.)

Yeah, I wonder about that. Ever find mustangs at salvage yards? all have front end damage. I just thought my brakes were bad. Seemed like other cars I drive, they stop quicker. And whats weird is the fact that with antilock brakes, why do they lock?
Why do they call it a shipment something that is carried by a truck and cargo something carried by a ship?
I just wanna know whats wrong with you people. All I was questioning was the capability of a mustang stopping. Obviously antilock brakes are not suppost to lock, why else call them that. But is it possible that something could fail on a F.O.R.D.? Thats all I was asking. It feels like my brakes lock up in the rare times I need to slam on them. But instead of talking about that I get "Duh... ...why do they call em a mustang if it aint a horse?" "Duh, horse? I though a mustang was a type of plane?"
I was neglected and abused as a child. The only way I have to express myself is through internet forums. I'm sorry.
That's amazing. That was the first thought that popped into my head when I read the subject of this thread.
a why do people call ATM's, ATM machines? that would be automatic teller machine machine? and PIN numbers? and VIN numbers? think about it. an abs system...... and why do they call it taking a shyt? i don't know about you, but i always leave something.
V6 Stang has no independent rear suspension... I bet that makes things even worse, than just being RWD.

Prime World is a free-to-play PC game that is currently in open beta and is available to players in the Russian, U.S., and Turkish markets.
"At Nival, we've created a critically acclaimed development studio with more than 200 international press awards," Nival chief executive Sergey Orlovskiy said. "Almaz Capital is an investment firm that has also won many prestigious awards including Alexander Galitsky winning the Russian Venture Oscars and the 'Best Russian Entrepreneur' in 2013. Our partnership is a clear fit between two award-winning companies with proven strategies for success."
