About the Book
From the author of the award-winning bestseller The Content of Our Character comes a new essay collection that tells the untold story behind the polarized racial politics in America today. In A Dream Deferred Shelby Steele argues that a second betrayal of black freedom in the United States--the first one being segregation--emerged from the civil rights era when the country was overtaken by a powerful impulse to redeem itself from racial shame. According to Steele,1960s liberalism had as its first and all-consuming goal the expiation of America guilt rather than the careful development of true equality between the races. This "culture of preference" betrayed America's best principles in order to give whites and America institutions an iconography of racial virtue they could use against the stigma of racial shame. In four densely argued essays, Steele takes on the familiar questions of affirmative action, multiculturalism, diversity, Afro-centrism, group preferences, victimization--and what he deems to be the atavistic powers of race, ethnicity, and gender, the original causes of oppression. A Dream Deferred is an honest, courageous look at the perplexing dilemma of race and democracy in the United States--and what we might do to resolve it.

text: No Distance From New Wedge Norris July 28, 2013 By Norris I'm really confused. I bought a new Vokey SM 54-11 wedge from my local GC that was last years demo, but it still had the plastic wrapper, and labels on it so I guess it was never used. I've been playing a CG 11 56* wedge with two blue dots, (CG wedges go by the number of dots instead of numbered bounce) so two blue dots means middle bounce. (one dot= low bounce, two dots middle, three dots high bounce) I was looking for a wedge with med. bounce for all around shots, so I figured Two dots, and 11* bounce would be the same. My confusion is, I'm hitting the CG 56* a good 20-25 yards farther than the Vokey 54*. In fact, I'm hitting my CG 60* lob wedge about the same as the 54* Vokey. Does anyone have any ideas why this is happening? I really like the way I hit the Vokey, it just doesn't go anywhere. (50 yds. at the most.) It seems like I'm sliding under the ball with the Vokey, and not with the Cleve. Quote Reply

Race 7 – $5,000,000 Dubai Duty Free (G1), sponsored by Dubai Duty Free, 1,800 metres, Turf
Let's make it clear – we believe 11 of 14 horses have legitimate chances of winning this race, and the other three aren't far behind.
At no point last year did we ever respect #4 LITTLE MIKE's ability to see out trips and handle making all the running, and he always did it. So let's just say, unequivocally, he is a very good horse, can win this race, and in so doing, become the first American to ever win on grass at a Dubai World Cup meeting. He's remarkably consistent. The cut back, return to grass, presence of Gary Stevens, and lack of any other confirmed need-the-lead type are all signs in his favour. He's a monster chance to see out the running. Based on the Trakus sectional times in the U.S., if Little Mike can get consistent mid 23 internal fractions, he will be a massive chance. His biggest loss was on boggy going, toss that race. In his Shoemaker Mile and Canadian Turf defeats, he was pressed into suicidal mid-race 22-second sectionals – and he didn't stay. All systems go for this guy.
If you want to make a case for any horse in this rich race, you can. One can argue that #10 THE APACHE settled better than almost any runner from the Mike de Kock yard in 2013. A first up winner (one of only 2 from 25 to try), he just missed in the Jebel Hatta when #5 SAJJHAA caught him. The son of Mogok will settle midpack and hope to run on, perhaps not as soon as he did. Christophe Soumillon likely learned from that last race, and he's too good to let it happen again. Whether it is enough to win here remains to be seen, but The Apache gets our tip.
Are we abandoning #6 IGUGU? Maybe yes, maybe no. She's very good, and we don't believe she's shown her best in running. After lightning record fractions first up, she floundered a bit second up and has had significant issues with her cycle, going in and out of season. She can absolutely, positively improve to win this race, and actually reminds us quite of Jay Peg, who won the 2008 Dubai Duty Free after a less than best Carnival with high expectations. It takes so much to get horses right off the quarantine, and like people, they all handle it different.
The aforementioned Sajjhaa reminds us of Sun Classique, who won the Cape Verdi and Balanchine and then went on to beat males in the 2008 Dubai Sheema Classic with an enterprising ride by Kevin Shea. Did she run a Duty Free winning race last time in the Jebel Hatta? Like Igugu, we would not be surprised by any result.
The European ante-post markets are much too keen on #14 TRADE STORM, who has rattled down the course from last in both of his starts with an explosive turn of foot. The early pace in the Zabeel Mile was a crawl, slowest ever over the trip at Meydan by almost two seconds, and Trade Storm was the only horse who lifted late, coming home with a final 400 in just more than 22 seconds. He's such an exposed horse, we just have to question the competition and wonder if he caught softer fields and easier spots, and has impressed punters with the way he won as opposed to the competition he defeated. He is a wild underlay at anything less than 10-1.
#7 OCEAN PARK should not be ignored. His weight loss on travel concerned trainer Gary Hennessy a bit, but it was probably expected. He had a grueling but highly successful 2012. While disappointingly fourth in his first-up run in New Zealand, he was every bit as good as he needed to be second up and now goes third off the freshening. A Cox Plate winner, Ocean Park is one of the most accomplished runners in the race, and seems to have a strong steady progression, which should help him in the long stretch. There has also been form-franking all through his form lines. You can't pick them all.
1st – #10 THE APACHE, 2nd – #4 LITTLE MIKE, 3rd – #5 SAJJHAA

The nation's new cybersecurity coordinator, Howard Schmidt, says the task of overseeing government-wide computer security has been "non-stop" in his first two weeks on the job.
Following the December announcement of his appointment by President Obama, Schmidt immediately had a cybersecurity crisis on his hands: Google's disclosure of a cyber attack on its system from within China. "I think everybody in the world who's in the security business is thinking about or working on that issue right now," Schmidt said in a brief interview at the Congressional Internet Caucus' annual State of the Net conference, where he gave his first public speech since taking office.
Since meeting with President Obama a few weeks ago, Schmidt has been working with federal CTO Aneesh Chopra and federal CIO Vivek Kundra on the requirement for secure cloud computing architectures and other issues.
Schmidt didn't offer a timeframe for when the White House would introduce a comprehensive cybersecurity strategy, but he hinted at where he might be looking to affect change. Schmidt pointed to supply chain management and education as weak links in cybersecurity. His priorities include developing an organized, unified response to attacks on American systems, fostering private-public partnerships, and addressing R&D needs.
One of the main concerns expressed about Schmidt's position before he took office was that it carried no real budget authority, but Schmidt waves that aside. "I don't believe that if you don't have the budget authority, you can't affect change," he said, noting a recent groundswell of support from policy-makers for cybersecurity efforts.
Another question has been whether Schmidt has the President's ear and the authority to make policy. He reports to both the National Economic Council and the National Security Staff, rather than to the President.
"I was particularly pleased and it made me feel good that there is a direct link to the National Security Staff as well as the National Economic Council," he said in his speech. "By being dual-hatted, it gives us a much broader perspective and helps us to have balance. It's important to understand we have a foot in both camps and utilize both camps."
Schmidt said privacy would be a key component of any cybersecurity plans he helps to develop. "Privacy and security are two sides of the same coin," he said. "As I was coming into this position, I was always sure that we had the discussion about privacy."
Schmidt took over for Chris Painter, who was acting in an interim capacity. Painter kept things going forward, Schmidt said, adding that he hopes to keep him at the White House "as long as I can keep him." Schmidt has a staff of about 10 working on issues from privacy to intelligence.
Register now for Black Hat DC, the largest and the most important security conference series in the world. It happens Jan. 31-Feb. 3, 2010, in Arlington, Va. Find out more and register.

Bariatric Surgery Testimonial: Deirdre
Posted by Bariatric Patient Stories, Bariatrics | Posted on 07-25-2013
| Posted inFor some, bariatric surgery, in addition to lifestyle changes, may be the holistic approach to achieving and maintaining great health.
About 800 central Illinoisans have undergone bariatric surgery through Memorial Medical Center's Bariatric Services program, all with the intended goal of living a more fulfilling, active life after shedding the weight.
One such success story is Deirdre, who has lost nearly 100 pounds since her surgery last year.
Deirdre's motivation to lose weight came from watching her mother pass away from cardiac issues at only 55 years of age. Deirdre wants to live a healthy life and be there for her 5 small children.
Since her surgery, Deirdre says, "I have much more energy, my joints do not hurt anymore, and I do not get short of breath going up stairs."
Read her story in her own words below.

Toledo City Council cleared the way Tuesday for a new Mott Branch library to be built along the Dorr Street corridor, a $5 million to $6 million project the Toledo-Lucas County Public Library expects to start in 2016 or 2017 across the street from the existing 42-year-old facility.
The library is to be built on three acres on the north side of Dorr in Toledo's Smith Park, next to the new Martin Luther King, Jr. Elementary at Dorr and Forest Avenue. The location will allow many youth to visit the library without crossing Dorr, a high-traffic thoroughfare.
The new library will provide twice the parking, 50 percent more interior space, and about three times the computers and other digital technology, Charles Oswanski, the library superintendent of facilities and operations, said.
The plan was approved 9-2, with Councilmen Mike Craig absent. Councilmen Jack Ford and Theresa Gabriel voted in opposition, citing concerns about possible impacts on a youth football league and other recreation programs at the park. Other councilmen said the park has ample room to move those programs.
"I personally believe an expansion of Mott Library will provide a net gain to that neighborhood," Council President Paula Hicks-Hudson said.
The deal calls for the city to donate the land to the library system in exchange for the existing Mott library at 1085 Dorr, on the south side of the street.
The city is expected to rent out the existing library. The library system has outgrown it because of the demand for more digital technology. Several branch libraries, especially Mott, are becoming increasingly popular as neighborhood meeting centers, Mr. Oswanski said.
The project will be similar to an expansion of the Kent branch, which went from having 30 computers to 100 computers, he said.
The new Mott's interior will be about 15,000 square feet, up from the 10,300 square feet of the existing library, which was built in 1972 and last renovated in 1997.

King: expect C.J. Watson to opt out
At Brooklyn's press conference introducing Jason Kidd yesterday, I asked King what pieces he felt the Nets needed to add to improve, and the first priority he listed was shooting to space the floor. That answer would seem to indicate that King believes Watson, who shot a career-high 41.1% from three-point range this season, is moving on, and that Nets rookie Tyshawn Taylor isn't quite ready for the second-string point guard position heading into his second season.
King added that he and Kidd have already discussed potential replacements for Watson. No, Kidd is not one of them.
Kidd also said at yesterday's press conference that he's interested in exploring offensive sets with Deron Williams off the ball and either Gerald Wallace or Joe Johnson playing "point forward," skillsets both players have.

Fight Or Flight
Posted By Andy R Strom On May 3 2011 @ 9:37 pm In Dallas Mavericks | 1 Comment
Game 1 of Mavs and Lakers was an exciting one to watch no matter who your allegiance is with. Both teams had their ups and downs over the course of game 1. A fast forward of the game might look like this. Mavs and Lakers pretty much trade buckets until late in the second half. Kobe is in the zone. Terry commits shooting foul 70 feet from the basket. Dirk gets T'd up with elbow at Artest. Lakers up 9 at half. Mavs turn ball over on first three possessions of second half. Kobe still zonin. Lakers have all the momentum and up 16 into the third quarter. And then the plot thickens…
The Mavs fight and claw their way back until late in the fourth quarter. With the Lakers up by one and possession of the ball Jason Kidd, who had some uncharacteristic turnovers earlier in the game, played excellent defense using his frame and strength to body up to Kobe trying to compensate for difference in quickness between the two. Kobe does get into the lane because, well he is Kobe, but there to meet his was Tyson Chandler forcing Kobe to make a desperation pass that was intercepted by Terry. Dirk hits two free throws at the line putting the Mavs up by one. The Lakers turned the ball over again on the next possession as Kobe fell coming off a screen. Kidd hit one of two from the line to put the Mavs up by a deuce. So, last possession, Lakers down 2…and good defense, a missed Kobe 3 pointer and the Mavs walked out of the Staple Center with a 94-96 win and a 1-0 series lead. The Lakers put only 2 points on the board in last three and an half minutes. They looked lost at times and stood around and watched Kobe play at others. The Laker bigs did not have particularly good games. Kobe was very displeased with the play of Pau Gasol after the game. The Mavs showed mental toughness to overcome some bad decisions and played good in the clutch. Obviously this was a big win for the Mavs who hope to carry the game 1 momentum into game 2 on Wednesday.
I'll be watching. Will you?

BART workers to get more, pay more
The tentative contract that ended the San Francisco Bay Area's public transit strike includes a 15 percent raise over four years, but also increased worker contributions toward health insurance and pensions, a person with knowledge of the agreement said.
The Bay Area Rapid Transit district and its two largest unions reached the agreement Monday night, but the sides were still double-checking the wording before presenting the deal to workers for a vote.
According to the source, workers would get paid 15.4 percent more – more than the 12 percent raise BART offered before the strike.
Monthly health insurance premiums would increase from $92 to $129. And, for the first time, workers would contribute to their pensions – 1 percent in the first year, up to 4 percent in the fourth year. At the same time, workers would get back 72 cents for every dollar contributed.
Prisons to change pepper spray rules
Prison officials said they will change the rules for using pepper spray on mentally ill inmates, as a federal judge considers whether current practices violate inmates' civil rights.
The department will limit how much pepper spray can be used and how quickly, said spokeswoman Deborah Hoffman.
"Obviously, it's our goal to use a minimal amount of force. Having it spelled out may help these situations stay more in control," Hoffman said.
Michael Bien, one of the attorneys representing mentally ill inmates, said the department is "kind of fine-tuning how they use pepper spray" instead of asking, "is this the type of weapon they ought to be using or are there other ways to avoid use of force?"
Police: 5 people killed in crash
Investigators are looking into reports that the driver of an SUV involved in an accident that killed five people was speeding and on his cellphone moments earlier.
All the dead – a pregnant woman, a man and three children – were in an extended-cab pickup that was struck at a busy intersection during Tuesday's afternoon rush hour.
The SUV driver was among six people hospitalized in the five-car crash in Lodi, south of Sacramento.
Deputies shoot, kill 13-year-old
Residents of Santa Rosa were anguished Wednesday after the fatal shooting by sheriff's deputies of a 13-year-old boy who had been carrying a pellet gun that looked like an assault rifle.
Sonoma County deputies had repeatedly asked the boy, Andy Lopez, to drop the replica, but instead he raised it in their direction, police said.
Many residents expressed their grief by leaving candles, teddy bears and flowers at the edge of the field where the teen was shot Tuesday afternoon.
Sheriff Steve Freitas said he would do everything he could to ensure a thorough and transparent probe.
The FBI said a 60-year-old man sat down in the lobby of a bank he'd just robbed in San Diego and looked through the bag of money. That gave a security guard time to walk outside and summon a police officer to arrest him.

Our bright, juicy and "klatch-tastic" Orange Bourbon is back! This is a true connoisseur's coffee. It's a purely refined and sophisticated brew that offers a sweet-floral aroma along with an orange-citrus flavor in the cup. Overall, it's a bright and juicy coffee, perfectly balanced with just the right amount of body.
The Orange Bourbon is a meticulously hand picked and processed (100% Bourbon) coffee, developed at Finca El Molino - one of El Salvador's finest and most innovative coffee farms. Mike Perry, Green Coffee Buyer and Liz Lozano (Associate Barista Trainer) sourced this direct trade coffee in early 2011 and were truly impressed by Jose Antonio and his staff - a genuine group of people with a passion for quality coffee.
Drew Moody from A Table in the Corner of the Cafe's review
The aroma of this cup is soft, subtle—but sweet. Maybe "sweet" isn't the word… Fragrant is a much better term; maybe even perfumy. When the water hits the grounds, poof!, a gentle explosion of floral aromatics (cherry and orange blossom) takes up wings, fluttering between the nose and the cup. Mixed in are notes of powdery raw cocoa nibs, cane sugar, and orange soda. The cup starts off equally subtle (and, spoiler alert, ends just as subtly)—the coffee doesn't come exploding onto the palate. It quietly sneaks up on it, rather, oozing out of the mug with a raspberry syrupy mouthfeel; and this river of maple syrup kicks up flavor sediment from the bottom of the cup, carrying it downstream in its current—brown sugar, baker's chocolate, vanilla cream, and clementine. As the cup cools off, the flavor gets fruitier and more tropical (though not lively or bright, however), the mouthfeel melts from a thick syrupiness to a fruity juiciness, a mellow orange juice acidity bubbles just beneath the surface, seeping onto the palate and melting on the back of the tongue, but it doesn't become prominent—it stays soft and subtle. There are an awful lot of fruits I'm picking up now, but, while they are moderately juicy and "big" on the palate (compared to the rest of the flavors I'm experiencing, they're pretty mellow (again, I know—I promise to pick up a thesaurus soon to work on my descriptors): plum, cherry, apple, pear, and salted caramel that finishes off each sip. Medium body; juicy mouthfeel; soft citrus acidity; clean finish; sparkling, lingering aftertaste.

Ok A little about what I am looking for a black and tan, non working, doesn't have to be a show dog, good health. I would like a male and a female from the same litter. Ok now about me and where the dog will be going I am a father of 3, my son is 8 and my daughter is 15 and my older son lives on his own. The dogs will have free reign inside and out, I do not plan on breeding them in fact I will be having them fixed. We are looking for new additions to our family and would like to start with puppies. Most of my experience has been with a Yellow lab named Roca she wasn't mine but I did spend a lot of time with her since she was a pup. She was a great, Loyal and smart dog. We currently have a Shih Tzu, teacup yorkie, black lab and yellow lab that come over on a regular bases.

Fearrington Weddings, In Our Gardens
July 8, 2013 6:51 PM | By Wedding Planners | No Comments
Summer is in full effect here at Fearrington! The Gardens are absolutely gorgeous and filled with blooming flowers and lush greenery. It makes it hard to stay away and not to pick anything!
On a tour of the gardens with a couple this weekend we bumped into Mary Stevens, our very talented Floral designer. Mary had a basket filled with fresh cuttings from the gardens to create centerpieces for weddings and special events this weekend. It instantly made me happy and was another reminder of how lucky we all are to work at such an amazing property with such a talented group of people.

Four Indiana State University faculty members and two community leaders were recognized during a recent Equality Day program in Hulman Memorial Student Union.
Since 1971, Equality Day has been recognized nationally in observance of the passage in 1920 of the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which granted full voting rights to women.
This year's observance at Indiana State provided the university an opportunity to recognize recipients of the second annual Charlotte Zietlow Women Faculty Research Grants. Zietlow, a member of the ISU Board of Trustees from 1989-2005 and resident of Bloomington, established the grant as part of an endowment exclusively to support pre-tenure women faculty in their work to achieve tenure.
The 2009 recipients are:
• Marcee Everly, assistant professor of nursing, who researches the experience of midwives working in various settings;
• Barbara Eversole, assistant professor of human resource development, who researches the role of the chief executive officer in creating work environments that respect human work and life;
• Susan Hagood, assistant professor of physical education, who is continuing a three-year study that will contribute to effective strategies in responding to child obesity; and
• Mandy Reid, assistant professor of English and women's studies, who examines the power of cultural texts to produce, sustain, and perhaps challenge discriminatory cultural practices, including the ways in which 19th century coloring books "teach" racial knowledge to children.
"Young faculty on a tenure track are the future of the institution, and yet they have the hardest row to hoe - preparing new classes, participating in their new departments, feeling the pressure to publish, and trying to balance all of that with their personal lives in a new community," Zietlow said. "Women, especially, face tremendous pressures. That's just the way things work."
Zietlow established the grant fund, with support from Lilly Endowment, after former Indiana State President Lloyd W. Benjamin III pointed out the challenges female faculty face. Current ISU President Dan Bradley provided university funds to support the 2009 awardees and announced at the Equality Day event that he will match the funds available for the 2010 awards as well. Proposals for 2010 Zietlow Grants will be accepted for review in January.
"I am very touched and gratified that President Bradley immediately saw the importance of this effort," Zietlow said, adding that she will explore whether others - including retired faculty, trustees and others - might also like to add to the fund.
Also during Indiana State's Equality Day program, the university recognized two alumnae who have achieved leadership roles in area non-profit organizations: Nikki Simpson, division director of the March of Dimes, and Claudia Tanoos, assistant director of Terre Haute Economic Development Corp.
ISU's Women's Studies Program will sponsor a colloquium in March 2010 that will feature presentations by the 2009 Zietlow Grant awardees and provide an opportunity to showcase other interdisciplinary work by women faculty. The event will part of the university's celebration of Women's History month.

MS itself says they won't implement the application/xhtml+xml MIME type until they fix their xml rendering engine. No idea when that will be.
That having been said, what we're really discussing here isn't using XHTML at all. Although misnamed in the subject, the discussion here is about serving XHTML files with the xhtml+xml mime type (required for compliance with XHTML versions 1.1 and higher, but not required for XHTML 1.0) and using other XML-based add-ons to XHTML.
MS supports XHTML when served with mime type text/html (and if you're worried about standards compliance, here's the W3C's words on doing that) so as long as you're not interested in expanding into other areas of XML, there's no real problem caused by writing XHTML 1.0 and serving it under the html mime type to explorer. (Yes I read felgall's js comment earlier, but I've been following this procedure for quite some time without it causing a single issue with js.)
Why do I use XHTML? Like I said, the language is more rigorous, so it helps develop and reinforce good personal coding standards, and creates sites more easily migrated to the correct mime type when supported. It doesn't enable easier migration to higher versions of XHTML, because the XHTML committee has already served notice that they don't care about backward compatibility between versions; see the img tag among others for details of that.
My own bottom line: No real objective reason to prefer either XHTML or HTML, and there probably won't be for a half decade or so. If the WHAT-WG ever gets the next version of tag soup (AKA HTML5) off the dime we may have something to discuss. Until then the question is simply FUD.
If you're truly concerned about the future, make sure your code is clean, because that's going to be the biggest issue going forward. I've known a lot of folks who have carried over sloppy coding habits into XHTML, served it as text/html and seen it work fine, then later switched to xhtml+xml and seen it break. They blamed XHTML for the wreckage almost invariably, when the real culprit was a PEBCAK (Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard).

An XML MIME type is required if you want to use XHTML. Served as text/html it is HTML (with syntax errors in it). Yes, serving XHTML markup as HTML is 'allowed', although W3C says you should serve it as XML. But you need to understand that you are not using XHTML at all if you serve it as text/html. It only looks that way.
In other words, MS supports HTML and has parser bugs and clever-enough error handling to cope with XHTML markup that claims to be HTML.
That statement is slightly misleading, since you're not entering any area of XML whatsoever if you serve anything as text/html. So speaking about 'other' areas of XML is misleading.
No, it's not. The rules are more consistent, but XHTML 1.0 and HTML 4.01 are precisely equally 'rigorous' (if you compare the equivalent DTDs). The difference is that HTML parsers are usually forgiving, while XML parsers are required to be draconian.
A well-written HTML 4.01 Strict document takes only seconds longer to migrate to XHTML 1.1 or any later XHTML version than does a well-written XHTML 1.0 Strict document. Especially if the latter is compliant to Appendix C in order to be served as HTML.
Oh, but there is! If you use XHTML you're blocking out 70-90% of the surfing population (i.e., those that use IE or older browsers). If you're serving your markup as text/html, you should state that you don't think there's any real objective reason to prefer invalid HTML or HTML.
It seems you are the one spreading FUD here, implying that HTML is 'tag soup'. HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0 are semantically equivalent; the latter is merely a reformulation of the former as an application of XML 1.0. If the XHTML is served as text/html the two are identical.
I agree. It's far more important to comply to a Strict DTD instead of a Transitional one. If you want to go through the extra bother of using XHTML 1.0 Strict instead of HTML 4.01 Strict, even though it gives no practical benefits whatsoever, that's entirely up to you.Birnam wood is come to Dunsinane

I remember when I first began writing XHTML instead of HTML. I felt manly to be using the latest and greatest, and using all of those self-closing tag techniques gave me a sense of purpose and meaning, that somehow XHTML was really going somewhere.
Now-a-days though, I have learned more and realise what AutisticCuckoo has brought up. When dealing with IE, the XHTML is in reality just badly coded HTML. And I ask myself, do I really want to write XHTML having to look over my shoulder at IE all the time and be forced to make compatibility changes just so that IE can understand it, or do I want to write strictly coded HTML that can be properly used anywhere, no matter which browser is being used.
The decisive answer to that question then becomes painfully obvious.Programming Group Advisor

High Speed Chases and Blue Roses
Dear Readers: The paperback version of my book is out in stores now, cheap enough so that even a Guatemalan can afford it. Buy, por favor! Now, on to the preguntas...
Dear Mexican,
Whenever I see the television show COPS, the white folks pull over and hope no one searches anything when they have at least three syringes, one crack pipe and enough pills that would make CVS Pharmacy look like a corner drugstore. The black folks are pulled over for just leaving the scene of a domestic dispute involving slapping the bitch and kicking her new man in the crotch, regardless of the fact they have been separated, divorced and placed on restraining order at least TWICE in the last two years. But why is it that every time a cop tries to pull over a Mexican for a bad taillight or some other minor infraction, it turns into a high-speed chase, until all the tires are shot out and the wheels fall off, and then the Mexicans bail out and try to outrun the German shepherd? Couldn't they for once just pull over and take a ticket? I mean, the police are not the Border Patrol, and the police dogs are not, like, Chihuahuas.

Dear Gabacho,
COPS is hardly as credible a source in documenting the Mexican criminal mente as, say, Dora the Explorer. Not only do I rarely see high-speed chases involving Mexicans on the FOX program, but stats are also not kept pertaining to ethnicity and police pursuits. What bean-counters do know, however, is that foreign-born Mexican men are less prone to visit the slammer than your local Minuteman Project chapter will have you believe. A 2006 study led by University of California, Irvine professor Rubén G. Rumbaut found only .7 percent of Mexican-born males in the United States were incarcerated, a figure more than twice as small as the 1.71 percent amount for gabachos. But not all is right in Aztlán: Rumbaut's findings also revealed that 5.9 percent of U.S.-born wabs are in the pokey. Why? Billions have been spent researching that question, so the Mexican won't bother with his thoughts except to add it ain't something inherently criminal in the Mexican soul — again, look at the jail rates for Mexican immigrants. Sorry for the downer ending, but if you want jokes to accompany unfunny Mexican pathologies, go yuck at Carlos Mencia.
Dear Mexican,
I'm in love with a Mexican man who's very traditional in his beliefs. He has already given me a blue rose, which I will treasure forever. What can I do to show him that I have the same feelings for him? I've researched the traditions and am finding only things that the man can do for the woman. Does the Mexican woman not have any traditions in displaying her love for the man?
His Spanish Eyes
Dear Gabacha,
Of course our mujeres have traditions to show their affection for an hombre: wonderful meals, a kind heart and knowing their way around the ol' chorizo.

The weight of the aquraium, around 700lbs, will keep that 75 gallon tank right where you place it. No need for a ledge, or recess. No worry that it will slide off. |
Am very curious to see a picture of this stand, can you provide one please? If the top of the stand is all glass then it will need to very thick glass to prevent stress factors from forming...without a picture it is hard to visualize this stand. |
hehe, you guys! "All Glass" he is referring to is "All Glass Aquariums" the company that makes almost all of the 'standard' aquariums sold in the US. They also make aquarium stands ;) Here is a link I found for it: All-Glass AGA brand pine cabinet 48x18-oak fob-0 special shipping Not endorsing the store, but it was the first on on google when I searched for it. |
The question I have is... On most of the pre-fab stands I've bought in the past, the tank sits down in a recess about 2" and is on solid vertical boards. In this instance though, the tank actually sits on top of the stand on the horizontal boards that frame the vertical. Here are some pictures for example. http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/...18968024_o.jpg http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/...29401404_o.jpg http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/...39676539_o.jpg http://i1042.photobucket.com/albums/..._1200Small.jpg The very last one isn't my personally, but it shows kind of what I'm talking about. If you'll look at the back right hand corner, you can see the vertical boards that my 55 sits on in a similar stand. You can also see how the stand sits on the "lip" of the stand. After I posted the original thread, I did a few google image searches and found many pics of the tank sitting on that lip though, so I'm guessing that's how it should be. |

BURLINGAME, Calif.–Here's all you need to know about Dell's new high-end laptop, the Adamo: They got rid of the stickers.
In an effort to grab a slice of the only piece of the consumer-PC business really worth having right now–the market for high-end, high-margin laptops now dominated by
It's about time. Dell's shares have fallen more than 50% to $8.90 over the past 12 months. Apple's stock, by contrast, has fallen less than half that over the past year. One big reason: Apple sells some really sweet laptops.
This, of course, isn't news to anyone at Dell. The company has been hustling to shift from bolting together boxy PCs at its U.S. factories to designing stylish, colorful laptop computers built by East Asian contract manufacturers and distributed through thousands of retail outlets around the globe.
The Adamo marks a milestone in that effort. Dell has teased the new laptop for months now, leaving many to wonder whether Dell can build a machine with the looks to interest consumers who have money, and style, to burn.
The answer is yes. The telling detail? The laptop doesn't sport the gaudy stickers from
That's a big move for a business built on bolting Microsoft software to Intel processors and other standardized parts. Getting rid of the stickers from these partners, however, proves that Dell understands that in a world where everyone is building machines out of the same big bag of parts–and sometimes even in the same factories–design counts.
The 0.65-inch-thick machine feels substantial, with subtle details giving the machine an upscale look. The laptop–which Dell promises will be the first in a line of high-end machines–will come in silver and anodized aluminum, starting at $1,999 for a 4-pound machine with a 128 GB solid-state hard drive, an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and five hours of battery life.

Rev. ing. constr. [online]. 2012, vol.27, n.2, pp.71-82. ISSN 0718-5073. http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-50732012000200005.
Among the aspects that influence road accidents, geometric design is the most relevant. The most used method for evaluating the design all over the world is based on the design consistency with speed profile models of operation. Cuba does not have proprietary models that consider the characteristics of the roads and drivers, so it is necessary to develop predictive models for the evaluation of design consistency. The development of operating speed profile prediction models for different alignment conditions on rural roads with two lanes in the context of Cuba is made from the geometric characteristics and point speeds with statistical analysis of the main variables related with the operating speed. Once models are developed they are applied to a sectíon of road designated as an accident concentration section (TCA) of the province of Villa Clara located in central Cuba, these results confirm the validity of the models developed to determine the operating speeds, thus evaluating the design consistency, with the aim of detecting the locations of greater difficulties with respect to the geometric design.
Palabras clave : Geometric design; evaluation; design consistency; speed profile models.

Weighed down by his kalashnikov and ego, he fiddles about to get his aim right, but his younger, more agile, bloodthirsty opponent is already waiting with his weapon cocked and ready to fire.Until now, independent Kenya had never been to war or led a military intervention into another state. After 20 years of deftly avoiding resurrecting old neighbourly grudges and becoming directly involved in Somalia's war, the Kenyan government finally decided to take the plunge.On October 16, an estimated 3,000 Kenyan troops marched into Somalia to battle with the 'terrorist' and tourist menace that is al-Shabaab. On a mission to protect the nation's "territorial intergrity", Kenyan forces are attempting to secure the northern border with Somalia, an unstable region where the killing and abduction of Western tourists, aid workers, and Kenyans has made the news. Allegedly the work of al-Shabaab, the escalation in murder of Westerners has been an important catalyst, but not the sole reason for this armed intervention.Buffers or proxies?From providing intelligence support to recruiting and training Somali soldiers - even paying warlords to create a buffer zone between itself and its warring neighbour - Kenya has long sought to protect itself from Somalia's mortars and missiles. So, too, has Ethiopia.Since 1996, Ethiopia has tried to create a large safety belt to contain Somalia's fighting and to block neighbouring Eritrea from gaining more ground in its border war with Ethiopia. Using Somalia's crisis to wage its own proxy wars, Eritrea allegedly funds and arms anti-Ethiopian Somali Sufi factions while Ethiopia reportedly arms pro-Somali government militias. Currently, Ethiopian troops occasionally move in and out of southern Somalia's Gedo region, a buffer zone. The troops are trying to contain the fighting between Ethiopian rebel separatist movements and Sufi Somali factions against Somalia's interim government and Ethiopia.Ethiopia's attempt at securing a safe space has largely resulted in propping up proxy militias, while Kenya's dream of constructing a similar region has been focused on recruiting and dispatching Somali troops to man the border region. More concretely, support has been given to Somalia's latest independent breakaway, Azania (also known as Jubaland).The Juba Valley is home to 1.3 million people whose clans have clashed with each other, the Somali army and al-Shabaab insurgents. Jubaland is also the operational base of a separatist rebel movement, the Ogaden National Liberation Front, whose calls for the secession of the Ogaden region in Ethiopia have led to violent confrontations with the Ethiopian army. A 2010 WikiLeaks cable describes the Ethiopian government as "not enthusiastic about Kenya's Jubaland initiative, but is sharing intelligence with Kenya and hoping for success". "We need a huge blow against Kenya. Hand grenades hurled can harm them, but we want huge blasts." - Al-Shabaab leaders Abdi Gandhi, a professor and former defence minister who is currently the president of Azania, promised Kenya to "liberate Jubaland of extremists", but has not quite made it to his office yet. According to Reuters news agency, Gandhi spends most of his time in Nairobi, Kenya's capital. Most of the progress made on Jubaland's terrorist frontiers in recent months has been due to the efforts of the Somali and Kenyan national armies.A hotbed of inter-clan tension, violent separatism and anti-foreign sentiment, Kenya's intervention into Jubaland seriously risks stoking the fires of ethnic Somali nationalism. Very real sentiments of pan-Somali solidarity exist among ethnic Somalis in Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Kenya's North Eastern Province. A call to arms could unite Islamist insurgents with nationalist clans to push out foreign forces.Already opposed to Azania's partial autonomy, Somalia's President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed openly disapproved of Kenyan boots on the ground. Al-Shabaab leaders have called for bombings: "The Kenyan Mujahideen who were trained by Osama in Afghanistan, stop throwing grenades at buses. We need a huge blow against Kenya. Hand grenades hurled can harm them, but we want huge blasts," urged Sheikh Abdiasis Abu Musab, an Islamist rebel group spokesman to crowds gathered in Elasha, near Mogadishu.History repeats itselfCommenting on Kenya's intervention, last week, former US ambassador to Ethiopia David Shinn said the best scenario would be for Kibaki's forces to secure the towns and "try to replace al-Shabaab with Somali forces friendly to Kenya". It's a valid expectation given that Mogadishu finally fell to Transitional Federal Government (TFG) forces this past August. But, in classic al-Shabaab style, Mogadishu experienced a delayed, heavy retaliation in recent weeks, which cost Burundi's peacekeeping force over 60 lives.History also shows that far superior armies have failed against al-Shabaab. In early November 1993, American and UN peacekeepers were humiliatingly defeated in a two-day bloody battle against Somali militiamen. Years later, Ethiopia tried too, and licked the same bitter wounds of defeat.In 2006, a US-backed Ethiopian army marched into the Somali capital, triumphed over the original al-Shabaab, and handed Mogadishu over to the TFG. But local clansmen and clerics irked by Ethiopia's invasion joined forces with the militant wing of the overthrown Islamic Courts Union, a collective of Sharia courts which formed a "rebel government" that, until Ethiopia troops' arrival, had presided over southern Somalia, including Mogadishu. Driven by a mix of nationalist-jihadist sentiment, the new al-Shabaab marched into the capital and took back the city from one of Africa's biggest and best-trained armies. Militarily, Kenya is far weaker than Ethiopia. President Mwai Kibaki's government does not have the budget for a lengthy fight as Zenawi did. After days of keeping up the official line: "The United States is not participating in Kenya's current operation in Somalia," the US alongside France are finally partners in Operation Linda Nchi (Operation Protect the Nation), as it's officially known. The assistance is a welcome boost for the Kenyans, but whether air strikes and logistical support will be enough to defeat fervent anti-Western nationalists and extremists is another matter entirely.An eye for an eye As the most consistently stable nation in the region, Kenya hosts the headquarters of many NGOs in East Africa and boasts a $750m tourism industry, which has been badly affected by al-Shabaab's abductions and murders of Western holidaymakers. "I am telling the mujahideen that Kenya is your port ... take from them in return." - Sheikh Muktar Roobow Abu Mansor According to a UN Monitoring Group Report, rebel-controlled Kismayo and Afmadow are key points for a $100m business made in cash from an array of political and religious extortionist taxes. These include port and airport fees for ships and planes docking at the coastal cities, as well as "jihad contributions" from nationalists and international jihadists. The money, which goes towards paying al-Shabaab's young fighters, is also said to be generated through an extensive sugar and charcoal smuggling network, which transports the goods in bulk throughout the region.Cutting off the terrorists' livelihood to preserve one's own may seem a smart move, but al-Shabaab will not let its main port bases, Kismayo and Afmadow, fall to Kenya without fierce resistance. Sheikh Muktar Roobow Abu Mansor, an al-Shabaab leader, told hundreds of supporters to fight tit for tat. "I am telling the mujahideen that Kenya is your port; go to their banks, guests, and go to all the places they keep their treasury. Take from them in return." And take they will.Creating a buffer against al-Shabaab is a scary prospect for a country that's never been to war. If Ethiopia's record is any sign of what's to come, then Operation Linda Nchi will be a difficult win. It's been a hard sell to Kenya's independent media, whose pages carry opinion editorials weighing up the costs and risks of intervention with each breaking news headline. However, Somalis living in the small towns of Dhobley and Qoqani, which the Kenyans have taken over, are broadly supportive of military action. It's understandable, as these people have lived through years of al-Shabaab's terror, but only up to a point. When 750,000 people are in dire need of humanitarian aid, there is no easy moral justification for what Kenya and its supporting cast of bombers, France and the US, are doing. Achieving stability in Jubaland is a noble goal, but this armed intervention risks displacing and starving even more people.At the beginning of this week, Kenyan jets killed five non-combatants and injured 45 at a refugee camp near Jilib. According to international law, bombing camps for internally-displaced persons contravenes the rules of modern military engagement. The Americans and French are yet to kill, but when they do, more rules could be broken. The civilian body count will rise. And when Kenyans start coming home in coffins by the dozen, the gravity of war will begin to sink into the hearts of rabid pro-intervention nationalists. Maybe then Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki might think back to the moment he 'hesitated before giving the green light' and do the unthinkable: consider negotiating with the terrorists.Tendai Marima (PhD) is an independent researcher and correspondent currently based in Southern Africa.

McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) wants to make sure all of its Millennial customers are still "Lovin' It," and that's why the fast food giant is now testing out a loyalty program that it believes will better appeal to its Generation Y consumers and their smartphones.
According to Bloomberg, McDonald's has confirmed that it is launching an electric loyalty program in about 570 United States locations with the help of mobile solutions marketer Front Flip LLC. Similar to programs employed by Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) and Panera Bread Co. (NASDAQ:PNRA), the program rewards frequent customers with free food and other offerings, and also promises deals that are expected to drive traffic into McDonald's stores.
Customers can enter to win prizes by making food purchases and then scanning a QR code, a pixelated square that can be read by a smartphone; it's technology many Millennials are already familiar with.
So far, the program has been tested in about 420 McDonald's stores, and Bloomberg reports that the fast food chain is adding 150 locations in the coming weeks. McDonald's has more than 14,100 stores in the U.S., so the impact still isn't felt by most, but should the program take off, customers can expect to win prizes ranging from free cheeseburgers to buy one, get one free Big Macs — as long as they make frequent McDonald's purchases.

If I wasn't me, then who would I be? Where would I go and what would I see? If I don't know who I am then who are you and who is she? Sad case to lose your own identity. When I am down and out with these looks of doubt I seem to question my inner whereabouts. What happened to her and where is she? This cant be me, must be case of lost identity. So I look afar as far as I can see and I see me constantly running. What are you scared of? Whats the problem? You cant keep running, just try and solve them. So who am I, who are you and who is she? I'm no longer blinded, I am my own key.
