ALEXANDRIA, VA -- "I can pledge this to you: If I should be elected president of the United States, I will never, never, never abandon Israel," emphatically announced Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., before enthused attendees of "A Night to Honor Israel" at the Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall at Northern Virginia Community College, Sunday night.
Hunter, an announced presidential candidate, immediately followed an impassioned plea from Rev. Jan Willem Van Der Hoven, who in his "Greetings from Israel" address declared that an American pull-out in Iraq would be tantamount to an abandonment of Israel, a nation surrounded by enemies in the Middle East. "Let's not trade oil for Jews!" he exclaimed.
For his part, Hunter did nothing to distance himself from the inflamed rhetoric, adding some of his own: "As a member of the United States Congress, I never supported giving up one inch of the state of Israel and that will always be my position!"
Hunter has been a Republican member of the House of Representatives since 1981 from California's 52nd congressional district in northern and eastern San Diego. A Vietnam veteran, he served in the 173rd Airborne and 75th Army Rangers. His son, Duncan D. Hunter, an Iraq war veteran, is currently a candidate for his congressional seat in 2008.
The senior Hunter became chairman of the House Armed Services Committee in 2002. He formally announced his presidential candidacy in Spartanburg, South Carolina, on Jan. 25, 2007.
Hunter zeroed in on a theme of a common threat faced by both the U.S. and Israel incoming missiles tipped with engines of mass destruction, either nuclear or chemical.
"I can tell you we will see offensive ballistic missiles aimed at the United States of America that will not fall harmlessly into the Sea of Japan or in the Pacific Ocean. They will have to be taken down," Hunter warned.
Citing rogue nations "charging down the path of nuclear weapons," being aided and abetted by those nations willing to sell military hardware, Hunter advised: "That means at some point the United States and Israel are going to have to stand together and defend against the incoming ballistic missiles."
Hunter recounted the clandestine attack by Israel in 1981 on the light-water nuclear materials testing reactor in Osirak, Iraq. It was crippled by Israeli aircraft in "Operation Opera" a pre-emptive attack to prevent Saddam Hussein from using the reactor for the creation of nuclear weapons.
After the attack by the eight F-16 aircrafts, Hunter recalled, many world leaders publicly chastised the action as a terrible thing. "Then, they all walked into their offices, and I can tell you this, they closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief . . . because Israel had the courage that none of them had."
Last week, Hunter spearheaded a measure aimed at creating closer U.S. and Israeli defenses against ballistic missiles of the type that could be fired by Iran.
Part of a $504 billion defense spending bill passed last Thursday, the measure would redirect $205 million in DoD funds toward projects already underway in Israel providing $25 million more for Arrow missile co-production and integration, $45 million for a U.S.-Israeli short-range missile defense system called "David's Sling" and $135 million to buy a Theater High Altitude Area Defense, or THAAD, fire unit.
All three projects involve interceptors designed to shoot down ballistic missiles in the terminal phase of their flight paths.
In his Sunday night address, Hunter likened the current situation in the world with the challenged faced by America in the 1920s, when Brig. Gen. Billy Mitchell "went to visit with a Republican Administration and said we have to spend a lot of money on air power . . .'"
Today, Hunter said, we face a similar crisis in the form of terrorists with technology.
"We are going to have to meet that technology with American technology and with Israeli technology - we are going to do it, and just as Winston Churchill said never, never, never give up.'"
Duncan Hunter is a good man. It's too bad he's not a viable candidate.
Perhaps he can be Secretary of State or Secretary of Defense.
Don't have access to the full list ATM, so pissant or Antoninus, you'll have to ping em'.
Hunter/Israel bump!
Hunter gets it.
He's got my vote.
The more I hear about this guy, the more I like. I plan on voting for him, eventhough it may not have a chance. But he's the only Republican that's a Republican.
God blesses those who bless Israel, sir.
After the attack by the eight F-16 aircrafts, Hunter recalled, many world leaders publicly chastised the action as a terrible thing. "Then, they all walked into their offices, and I can tell you this, they closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief . . . because Israel had the courage that none of them had."
***Yup. And where would we be today if Iraq had a healthy nuclear program? Would Iraq have used nukes in their war on Iran? Remember they used chemical & bio weapons. Would they have used nukes in GulfWarI? You betcha. We are in Israel's debt.
I'm for Hunter.
If I've learned one thing over the past few years it's that my conscience feels a heck of a lot better if I don't hold my nose to vote. At this point there are only two men in the race that fit the bill and neither one of them are among the top tier.
In any case I'll be voting my conscience and the GOP be damned.
....which would essentially mean cleaning out that entire dept., of course.
..F-16s, which I built electronics for—the first time the Falcon was used in a combat situation...
Too bad the American Jew will not only not vote for him but venomously attack his Republican party.
Their motto is never again....until they let them
>Duncan Hunter is a good man. It's too bad he's not a viable candidate.<
If you love your country and want to preserve it for your descendants, you had better get on your knees and pray that he wins, Cf. You had better dig deep in your pockets to insure his campaign. You had better roll up your sleeves and pitch in to get the word out about him. Because no other man running, or not yet running, has the qualifications needed to retain our sovereignty, and freedoms which so many have died for through the centuries than Duncan Hunter.
....like yours truly, for instance.
I'll be sending this article around the email circuit; hopefully it catches fire.
However, it is my belief that THE MEDIA is the one who makes Presidents..and Duncan, according to how the media works, just isn't sexy enough. They wouldn't have juicy stories, scandals, women , etc. to latch on to. Sad, he is a good man from what I have seen so far.
High Volume. Articles on Israel can also be found by clicking on the Topic or Keyword Israel. or WOT [War on Terror]
He has been for decades. I doubt that translates into votes though. And with the exception of Paul, all the Republican candidates are pro-Israel and pro-WOT.
..very powerful, Paperdoll--powerful because it is true...
what I don't get is our government will stand by Israel, but we will not stand up for ourselves.
Another reason to vote for Hunter.
Mine, too, I'm praying for him!
"Hunter gets it." Durn tootin' he does! I love it that he backs off of nothing!
He doesn't spend all his time triangulating his positions because he's comfortable in his own skin. He isn't spending time wringing his hands with worry over what the democrats think either.
I'm praying for both Israel and Hunter.
The MSM is ignoring Hunter because they fear him MOST!

A student told his professor he was going to "Palestine" to "fight for freedom, peace and justice,"Orwellian leftist code words that mean "murder Jews."
I would love for Hunter to win. He has all the right ingredients - military service, command of the issues, dealing with China, etc that far outweigh his being a Congressman and having a moderate fiscal record. He should be supported, no question about it.
Hunter could attract the right democrats while Rudy is hunting liberals.
He's viable enough for me...He'll likely get my vote...
Actually, it is a money issue.
With the right amount of money, Hunter would jump up to be the leading candidate. I hear he's raised only about half a million so far.
However, it is God who gives the ability to create wealth.
Name one other candidate with the stones to defend Israel? The rest of the pack are POSERS not prepared for the office, only pandering to LIEberal presstitutes.
"Name one other candidate with the stones to defend Israel?"
Ron Paul!
Good point. Still, even if he is not the nominee, he can contribute to the betterment of the nation in the administration of another President.
There's still time before we have to choose and Hunter is popping up more and more here lately. He is strong on Conservative principles and very easily could steal the show IMHO. Keep your eyes on him. I feel he would be a great SecDef but he still would have to answer to COMINCH.
Agreed, he absolutely has my vote in the primary - the more I read, the more I like, on every issue. All I can say is, how on earth has this guy continued to get re-elected in Southern California for twenty years? :)
After this amnesty charade, there are very few candidates as viable as Hunter.
Does this mean that he'll abolish the "roadmap?"
Hunter is exactly the candidate I've been dreaming of. He isn't trying to tell me what I want to hear, he's telling me what he believes. He's leaving the choice of voting for him up to me.
That kind of honesty is extremely rare in today's political world of triangulation and deception.
We agree.
They sure do, and they have good reason to fear him! We need a leader like Duncan. He could lead America out of the mess it's in.
That was the context of the article....if you even bothered to read it. Leaving Iraq is same as nuclear Iran scenario...by defeating Islamonazis in Iraq/Afghanistan we are DEFENDING Israel.
He better be!

- Horse Breeds
- - New Pony! not sure what breed
New Pony! not sure what breed 2 Attachment(s) Theres a new pony at the barn. Not sure what breed he is. My trainer thinks he is a welsh/thoroughbred cross. she also thinks he has some morgan in him. when she got him from the old owner..they said hes a quarter horse. what do you see? sorry if the pics are big. |
Wow i love him, I'm not an expert on breeds, but dont see QH..atleast not full anyway. Subbing to see what others think |
I'm going to go with morgan/thoroughbred but no welsh and morgan/quarter horse may be a possibility as well. |
How tall is he? That might help :smile: |
Is he gaited? Could he be a rocky mountain? He reminds me alot of the old style morgans too. I don't see any QH/TB really. I really do think he looks alot like a rocky mountain horse the more I look into it. Check out the breed IDK much about them. |
I'm going to say Morgan/QH. He's got the Morgan neck, ears and the foundation Morgan hind. But, his shoulders to me look QH. I don't see Welsh at all. |
Thank you for your answers. I think my trainer said he was 14.2 14.3.. i have some pics of him trotting on the lunge line..and theres no high knee action. So i dont think hes gated. Grace...i like how you said the pony has morgan ears,neck,and butt .. and qh shoulders.. how can he have qh shoulders i will pass all of this infor to my trainer. i wish there were dna tests for horses...like they have for dogs.. :) |
what does the *Old Style* morgan look like? |
You sure you want to open that can of worms?:lol: As simple as I can state it without ruffling feathers, the new "style" Morgan tends to look a little more like an Arab or even more Saddlebred. The "older" style is a little more "round" and less arab looking. I know that's pretty vague, but it's the easiest way to explain it. |
Grace.... thank you for the infor. we've never had a morgan at the barn before. so i dont know anything about the breed. :( |

If str8 guys only knew.
Now that's funny!
Just one minor comment.
Most gays don't look like that. They should have a mixer of beefy and slim and not just slim.

Does this mean straight guys would in turn marry the rest of gay guys?

Thought it would be offensive, but it was kinda amusing, too
Just ...
- many straight men do in fact not love vagina, just ask your straight friends how many really like eating out a girl
- so far it seems that many girls do favor a mmf threesome, it's just more of a taboo and most men won't do it. Or I just know more interesting girls

Well don't you think the taboo has influenced the male response to it? Most men who would like a MMF threesome wouldn't tell their friends about it.
I actually remember reading a sex fantasy study last year and the results were that MMF threesome is higher on the main fantasies list than MFF ones.
And straight women answer them
True. However I think that it is a toss up. I had one straight friend that was hands down opposed to it. He had never tried it and didnt want to.
Then his friend that we both knew loved it and was always talking about it with other people. .
Then you get the guys who do it and ask their girlfriend not to tell anyone

Bridgewater's Caitlin Fahey goes the extra mile for Bentley University
Bridgewater's Fahey qualifies in mile
In the summer, she was up at 4 a.m. to get in her run before heading off to work as an intern at Fidelity Investments in Boston. She has endured being sprayed with road salt during winter storms while racing through the streets of Waltham as part of her 60-mile-per-week training regimen.
Bridgewater's Caitlin Fahey, a senior cross-country and track captain at Bentley University who ran a school-record 4:57.52 mile last Saturday, is truly a runner for all seasons.
As a junior, Fahey was a member of Bentley's cross-country team that qualified for the NCAA Division 2 championship meet. Now she has qualified, provisionally, for the NCAA Division 2 indoor championships thanks to her nearly wire-to-wire victory Feb. 2 in the mile at the Dartmouth College Winter Classic.
"I wanted to try to take the lead from the start and about halfway I was running against the clock and testing my endurance," said Fahey.
"I really think running outside in the winter toughened me up, but as we head into the championship season, there are going to be more sub-five-minute times posted and I have to be in shape to improve on what I've accomplished."
Prior to this weekend's Boston University Valentine's Invitational, Fahey ranked seventh in the mile on the Division 2 performance list.
At the same event a year ago, Fahey set a program record with a 4:58.63 mile.
Bentley head coach Kevin Curtin, who like Fahey made the transition from the middle distances in high school to the mile in college, estimated that 16 individuals will qualify for the mile run at the nationals, scheduled March 8-9 in Birmingham, Ala.
"The first time Caitlin broke five minutes was more exciting because it was a benchmark for our division and puts you among the elite runners," said Curtin, who was a star runner at Brandeis University. "But last weekend was more impressive because she took the lead for good in the second lap and on a slower track than at BU.
"Caitlin just may be the most dedicated athlete I've coached in my three years at Bentley. She dealt with illness and persevered and everything good that's happened to her this winter has been a couple of years in the making. I'm impressed with her commitment. She can handle a lot, she has good leg speed and as she further develops her kick, I think she can lower her mile time again."
Curtin said Fahey's desire to improve sets a great example for her teammates.
"That's just what you want a captain to be," he said.
During the current indoor season, Fahey has also posted Bentley's fastest times in the 1,000 (2:59.11) and 3,000 meters( 10:27.14). She was 17th overall last fall in the NE-10 cross-country championship meet.
A former Eastern Athletic Conference All-Star who still holds school records in the 800 and 1,000 meters at Coyle-Cassidy, Fahey won the 1,000-meter race at the state Division 4 indoor meet for the Warriors.
"My best mile time in high school was 5:20 so it was a hard transition in college," said Fahey, who contracted Lyme disease during the cross-country season her sophomore year and battled back from anemia last winter just after the BU Invitational.
"I didn't run some of my best races while I was recuperating from both setbacks," she said, "but my coaches and teammates understood and I never took any time off because I wanted to compete. It was just bad luck, but as a captain I can help my teammates who also have to come back from adversity and share my experience with them."
"We do a good job of getting each other out the door for our training runs," said Fahey, whose mother, Jennifer and aunt, Sarah Graham, who resides in Duxbury, compete in half-marathons.
Fahey will work for Fidelity after graduation.
Conlin, Corbett boost Connecticut College
Norwood natives Tom Conlin, a freshman goalie on the men's hockey team at Connecticut College, and Caroline Corbett, a senior forward on the women's squad, delivered clutch performances last weekend.
Conlin stopped 77 of 81 shots in a two-game sweep of New England Small College Athletic Conference foe Tufts, while Corbett's shorthanded goal with 1:58 left in regulation made the difference in a 3-2 NESCAC win against fifth-ranked Division 3 power Middlebury College.
It was the first victory for the Camels over Middlebury since the program's inception. The former Middlesex School star has five goals, two shorthanded and two game-winners.
"Caroline leads her teammates with grit and determination," said her head coach, Kristin Steele.
Conlin, a graduate of Norwood High, had a 5-3 record, 2.78 goals-against average and .916 save percentage in his first 10 college appearances, including a 41-save effort last Saturday at Tufts to preserve a 3-2 victory.
Campus notables
Bentley University basketball forward Lauren Battista of North Easton (Oliver Ames) has been selected to the Academic All-District 1 team for the second straight year and is on the national ballot for Academic All-America. Battista has racked up impressive averages on and off the court for the second-ranked Falcons (20-0 through Tuesday): a 3.94 GPA along with 14.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 1.3 steals per game. . . .
Junior Alexis Schupp and freshman Sara Schupp are the first sisters to compete simultaneously for the Cornell University gymnastics team. Both attended Duxbury High.

(AP) -- The jailed winner of the first season of "Survivor" is fighting for a court-appointed lawyer to help him with an appeal on his probation violation.Filings in U.S. District Court in Providence, R.I., made public last week show Richard Hatch believes he should be given free legal representation.The 50-year-old Newport resident is in a federal prison in West Virginia. He was ordered back behind bars in March for nine months for failing to pay taxes on his $1 million winnings from the CBS reality show.Hatch is appealing that decision to the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston.U.S. Magistrate Judge Lincoln Almond is recommending Hatch be denied free legal counsel. He says the appeal is not "taken in good faith."

I've seen a counselor for over 2 years. I'm not nearly as bad as I used to be. Gauging that, however, is like saying the absolute worse has gotten better and gone from happiness scale of 1 to about 4. My councelor and psychiatrist -both- agree, as well as my health teacher and doctor, that exercise will probably be the only thing to get my out of this rut.
I've taken anti-depressants and they got me out of a very very dark place. I am now anti-depressant free and am working on my own to build a better and healthier life.
Cjohnson728, your words are kind. Thank you. I'm just a little confused because I have several different people telling me different things about progressing and I also have several people telling me to "move forward." I'm a big guy. I have a long way to go and I feel like I'm taking baby steps.
I'm walking a mile a day at the moment. That seems to be helping a lot. It gets me out of breath and I can see improvement but I don't even know where to begin to "up the ante" per say.
2nd week start running? Am I too out of shape for this? Becuase I've tried running... it's... overbearing. I'm quite overweight at the moment, I don't expect to run a marathon overnight but... when do I move up? HOW do I move up? My friends say "change it up a little" but what does that mean?
Should I increase walk distance during my 2nd week? 3rd? 2nd month? Should I go all out and work through the pain and run every day of the week until my eyes bleed? I really have no clue where I'm going with these work outs. Lol
I want to lose weight asap. That's the number 1 goal. Everything can come later. Losing weight, is number 1. I like working out, I like moving and excersizing. Calorie counting I can do. Dieting, I will work out. There is plenty of information on that, all over the place.
But everyone's body is different including mine. My info is in the original post. Being overweight, is running obsolete? Is it even going to -help- in weight loss? So much information out there. I don't even know where to begin.

Sig kadet Mark II conversion
My wife's Aunt and Uncle came to visit this past weekend and he wound up bringing me an old Kadet Mark II that he had started years ago but lost interest in. It's mostly built and just needs some final sanding, covering, and radio install really. Now I don't mess with gas and only have one electric plane which is my AP platform, the rest are all gliders. So my question is about a power system. I don't really want to spend much on setting this thing up(just like everyone else) so I want to use the batteries that I already have. I run 3s 2200Mah batts. I figure the flying weight to come in right around 5 pounds. So I'm looking for motor suggestions and wondering what would be the best batt. configuration, parallel or series? I've searched and found a few threads, but never any specific motor mentions and the ones with links no longer work. Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Stoked,
My post is SIG Kadet Mark II-Electric_reconfigure aileron w/flaps. Not sure about batteries, however we are using an Exceed-RC Mosterpower 32 Outrunner brushless #63M53. KV 770, 700W input .02 ohms. Uses 10-14 Ni-Cd or 3-4 Li-Po. Not sure what my bro paid for it. He is running a smaller version on the Kadet Jr. in the post. |
I was looking at that motor and prefer to order from Hobbypartz when I can since I get my order in a matter of a few days, but they are out of stock on all the monster motors and it can take them some time to replenish stock sometimes. Not sure if that motor would be enough though with a 3s pack, but batteries aren't really my thing so I'm looking to others here for help in that area. That is however, the type of motor I want to run if possible. I'm not looking for something that will climb vertical all day, but rather a nice trainer type flyer for something different and to train others on.
Thanks, I like to try and order from Hobbypartz when I can since it only takes a few days to get my order instead of weeks. I think my problem is batteries. Swimmer is using 4s and I only have 3s packs. This is my real question, will I have a decent power system running 2 3s 2200mah packs in parallel? I'm thinking it should work alright if I find a motor that will run on 3s in the right size.
I also run two 4S 2200 Flightmax batteries in parallel. You'll have to get a parallel connector or build one. Bought mine from Great Planes. If you are going to step up to this size plane and components you'll have to step up battery size (MAH) and voltage to get the power to fly your plane. Plug your numbers into a good prop/motor calculator like brantuas.com/ezcalc/dma1.asp
I'm using a Monster Power 46 in my RCM Trainer. Great motor for $28.50. Too bad Hobbypartz can't get it together and stock items in a timely manor. I'm sure Hobbyking can get you a motor at a good price. I really like the Monster Power series of motors and will buy more when available. The Eflite Power 32 is good but there are much better prices for comparable motors. Hobbyking's line of "Easy Match" motors look to be a decent replacement but they are always on backorder. |

You should be ok as long as your batts will handle the current. I converted an Aero-star 40 last year - used a Turnigy3536 and 3S 2200 Turnigy batt. I got about 5 min flight time and lots of power. wattmeter showed 43A and 506 watts with a 10 X 5 E prop. Since then I've gone to 3S 4000 batts and get more than 10 min flights. Plane AUW is 5 lb 10oz. If you pick a motor that gives you 75 - 100 watts per pound and choose an ESC and batts that can safely handle the current load you will be ok.

But Time Warner's CEO, Jeff Bewkes, can't wait to get one. It seems a little unusual that the head honcho of a cable TV company would be so keen to get his hands on Cook and co's competition—but he is. Speaking at a Business Insider conference, Bewkes explained: Advertisement Advertisement "I hope they do [make a TV]… Apple is a great device company... they bring good interface and navigation skills."Of course, Time Warner is rumored to be in advanced talks with Apple about content. That doesn't mean that Apple's TV will necessarily prove to be the pinacle of entertainment, though: there are rumblings which suggest that, while Time Warner is working with Apple to create a new user interface, the resulting tech may boil down to nothing more than a dumb cable box disguised in a well-designed package. We'll have to wait—perhaps a lot longer, still—to find out. [Business Insider via Verge] Reply46 repliesLeave a reply

WEDNESDAY, March 23 (HealthDay News) -- Overweight and obese people often think they weigh less than they do, and many mothers of chubby kids view their children's bulk as normal, new research finds.
The study of women and children conducted at Columbia University Medical Center in New York City found that faulty body image was far more prevalent among the heaviest participants than people of normal weight.
"The implications of this is the overwhelming impact of obesity on children who are growing up in communities where obesity and overweight is the norm rather than the exception," said lead author Dr. Nicole Dumas, a medical resident at Columbia.
"It sort of skews their image of what they see as being a normal or healthy weight," Dumas added.
The 111 urban moms -- whose average age was 39 -- and 111 children were asked to choose a silhouette that best represented their own body size. About 66 percent of the mothers were overweight or obese, as were 39 percent of their children, who ranged from 7 to 13 years old.
Of the obese women, only 18 percent chose silhouettes that were obese, while 76 percent chose overweight forms. The remainder selected normal shapes to represent their body size. Of the merely overweight women, just under 58 percent selected an overweight shape, and nearly 43 percent selected a normal-size silhouette.
"There has been other data of overweight individuals that shows that your perception of body weight is different with individuals who are in a situation where the majority is overweight," said Alice H. Lichtenstein, professor of nutrition science and policy at Tufts University in Boston.
Noting that our society as a whole is hefting more fat, she said living in a culture where obesity is common "is going to affect our perception of ourselves and our children."
Excess weight is a risk factor for health problems including heart disease, diabetes and cancer. Widespread misperceptions about body size may represent another challenge in the war against obesity, the study authors say.
The study, to be presented Wednesday at the American Heart Association's scientific sessions in Atlanta, found that:
Nearly 80 percent of the participants were Hispanic; about 10 percent were black; 6 percent were white; and 2 percent were Asian, with the remainder identifying themselves as "other."
About 66 percent of the moms were obese or overweight, which is reflective of the general U.S. population, Dumas said.
But the study children's rate of overweight or obesity, at 39 percent, was higher than for American children in general, at 33 percent, she noted.
The study data show the need for health-care providers to educate patients about the dangers of excess body weight, said Lichtenstein, who also is the director and senior scientist of the Cardiovascular Nutrition Laboratory at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts.
Schools should teach home economics "with a 21st century approach," she said, so children learn how "to choose and provide foods that are going to result in a healthy body weight."
The Columbia research echoed the findings of a September 2010 Harris Interactive/HealthDay survey that found that 30 percent of overweight people thought their weight was normal, while 70 percent of those who were obese thought they were merely overweight. Most thought that lack of exercise, rather than poor eating habits, was the cause, the survey found.
The obesity epidemic isn't confined to the United States. "It's a global issue around the world," said Dr. Robert Eckel, professor of medicine at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus and former American Heart Association president.
Its impact on children is serious, Eckel said.
"An obese child is going to become an obese adult," said Eckel. "Individuals, schools, health-care providers, churches and the government all have a role" to play in addressing this public health issue, he said.
Experts note that information presented at scientific meetings has not been scrutinized as thoroughly as studies published in medical journals.

Just Another Ordinary Day in the Life of an Icon With Killer Abs
One of my guiltiest pleasures of the last year has been Newlyweds, the reality series in which pop star Jessica Simpson floats on a cloud of stupidity so serene you have to wonder if our dear president dropped a few sperm-bombs in her birthplace of Waco. At least Jessica's not in charge of anything crucial, like, say, oil or peace; she spends most of her time baring her luscious belly at photo shoots, lazing around her generic mansion with husband Nick, and spouting fantastic malapropisms. Just like Vince in Entourage, Jessica has recruited a pal from back home to be her personal assistant and live in her housea corn-fed girl named CaCee Cobb, who surely missed an opportunity by ending her name with a double ee instead of an i with a heart on top.
That's where the similarities to Entourage end, though. Unlike so many stars' mega-posses (Gwyneth Paltrow supposedly keeps one chef to cook sweet food and another for savory), Jessica's retinue consists mostly of family members. Which makes Newlyweds a strange mixture of Hollywood decadence and sappy homespun values. The cameras love it when Nick does half-assed home repair and Jessica stumbles around the kitchen like a blind kitten, her childhood as a Britney wannabe having left her fundamentally unequipped to deal with adulthood. Jessica's mom recently told Vanity Fair that Jessica has a high IQ and just acts dumb for the camerasthe same way, Jessica admits, she once acted dumb to get boys. I can almost believe she deliberately dreams up dumb gags, since her ditziness has already taken on the gluey consistency of shtick. Yet there's something pleasurable about watching the couple playact all those whitebread, old-fashioned TV marriage clichés (the beleagured husband forever seeking a moment's peace to watch the game, affectionately suffering the inanities of his silly blonde wife), knowing that when the cameras are off they actually sit around discussing Heidegger and Foucault.

You Don't Have to Be Khazarian
The Thirteenth Tribe: The Khazar Empire and Its Heritage
"I have been visiting Lord Derby," the aristocrat-prone Lewis Namier once told Isaiah Berlin. "He said to me: 'Namier, you are a Jew. Why do you write our English history, why do you not write Jewish history?' I replied, 'Derby! There is no Jewish history, only a Jewish martyrology, and that is not amusing enough for me."' Namier was a Jew cruelly at odds with his own East European origins; there is a certain and not untypical pathos to his scorn for his ancestors' trials. But like all such generalizations, his is not without its exceptions. The dark annals of Jewish history are punctuated by occasional periods of respite, by flushes of Jewish autonomy in a climate of unwavering hostility. The most extended, intriguing, and unclear of these occurred in medieval Russia, among the marauding shamanistic hosts that swept across the Eurasian frontiers in the period between Attila and Genghis Khan. In AD 740 one of these nomadic tribes, the Khazars, took the unlikely step of converting to Judaism. And for at least two centuries following there flourished along the lower Volga a Jewish kingdom—Zemlya Zhidovskaya, says the Russian Chronicle—ruled by a Jewish king according to a version of rabbinic law.
In its day this enigmatic Jewish empire fired the imaginations of many Jews languishing elsewhere in exile—even in exiles at times less than completely harsh. In some instances Khazaria seems to have done for Jewish self-esteem in the Diaspora what Israel does for that same fluctuating quality today. In the tenth century Hisdai ibn Shaprut, a figure of great political consequence at the court of the Caliphate in Cordoba and a luminary of the Jewish "Golden Age" of Spain, addressed a famous epistle to Joseph, King of the Khazars, asking anxiously for more information, and concluding thus:
I feel the urge to know the truth, whether there is really a place on this earth where harassed Israel can rule itself, where it is subject to nobody. If I were to know that this is indeed the case, I would not hesitate to forsake all honours, to resign my high office, to abandon my family, and to travel over mountains and plains, over land and water, until I arrived at the place where my Lord, the King rules….
Several generations later Judah Halevi, the most accomplished poet and philosopher of Spanish Jewry, wrote his apologetic treatise Kitov al-Khazari, in which he drew upon—and embellished—the story of the Khazar conversion for a searching philosophical exposition of the Jewish idea itself. In later centuries tales of Jewish dominion in the Caucasus continued to lift sagging Jewish spirits. In 1577 one Isaac ibn Aqrish published in Constantinople a popular pamphlet entitled Qol Mevasser (Voice of the Bringer of Good Tidings), in which he placed Hisdai's correspondence with the Khazar king among sanguine reports of the Ten Lost Tribes and other such encouraging…

I won't feel bad at all, just as long as my beloved Vols don't ever give up. As for "class" and all that, I still think the late, great Lewis Grizzard had some of the best material on SEC rivalries :D - 10/24/2009 11:25 AM

Don't you dare say a word about the helmet coming off early! After all the bad calls the SEC has seen this year, let the kids ( even if MT. Cody weighs 345 something pounds; they are kids...) celebrate. It was a fun game to watch.
Grizzard was beyond classy, a league of his own. He had a great head line in the paper one year about the Georgia Dawgs playing the South Carolina Gamecocks that I can't recall right now--must be the rum...--my dad thought the world of Grizzard and my Dad was from Chicago (Grizzad had NOTHING positive to say about the Tribune aka: the best newspaper ever) all I've read about him says he was a great guy, journalism is one thing but sportsmanship or 'class' is another.
That helmet issue was a great no call.
Go Dawgs! (...Or Roll Tide! or something like that...)
Next year the sun will shine on the Vols/Dawgs. - 10/24/2009 7:54 PM

I'm a coach's son, so while I might have wished the flag had been thrown, I'd rather that the kicker and the O-line had done their jobs better there.
As for the Grizzard line, it was back in the 1960s when UGA was playing South Carolina and LB Happy Dicks was not going to play. Grizzard got the student editor drunk, so the headline for the game was this:
"Dawgs to Play Cocks with Dicks Out"
I miss his columns :( - 10/24/2009 9:24 PM

Joe Messick, MD, Memorial Award
Dr. William (Joe) Messick was a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the UNC School of Medicine. After completing his residency in General Surgery at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, New York, he returned to private practice in Banner Elk, North Carolina for five years. In 1990, he returned to Chapel Hill for a fellowship in Trauma and Critical Care. The following year, he joined the faculty at the Carolinas Medical Center in Charlotte, where he served as Director for the Trauma and Surgical Critical Care Units, as well as Director of Critical Care and Shock Research, until his untimely death on January 21, 1999.
Dr. Messick was the author of numerous scientific publications and was a frequent presenter at regional and national meetings. He was attending the 1997 American Association for the Surgery of Trauma meeting when he first because ill, which did not prevent him from presenting at the 1997 American College of Surgeons Clinical Congress. He was instrumental in the Carolina/Virginia Society of Critical Care Medicine Chapter's expansion as a multidisciplinary forum for networking and exchange of ideas and was the current president at the time of his death. Dr. Messick had begun to speak about his experience as a critically ill ICU patient, and his presentation, A Change of Heart – Experience as an ICU Patient, was to have been the keynote address for the Carolina/Virginia Chapter meeting. The Board of Directors of the Chapter decided that the best tribute to Dr. Messick would be to show this videotape as the keynote address – his final gift to all of us who take our own lives for granted.
An award has been established in Joe's memory to be given to the junior resident who excels during his or her critical care rotation and emulates those qualities which Joe possessed and stimulated in his colleagues.

Microsoft has set a date and location for its annual BUILD developer conference. This year's event will take place Oct. 30 to Nov. 2 at the company's headquarters in Redmond, Washington.
The conference is where Microsoft leads sessions designed primarily for developers. But as with Apple's WWDC and Google's I/O, Microsoft also tends to make announcements about its upcoming releases. Last year's conference saw Windows 8's formal debut with an early developer preview. This year's conference comes the week after Windows 8's scheduled Oct. 26 ship date. Microsoft notes that in addition to Windows 8, it will be talking about Windows Azure, Windows Phone 8, Windows Server 2012, Visual Studio 2012, and more.
But it's what the company isn't talking about that's really interesting. Microsoft handed out a loaner tablet running Windows 8 to the press at last year's event. Given that Windows Phone 8 is rumored to begin shipping in October or November, BUILD could very well be Microsoft's venue for introducing it's new mobile OS to the world. It would also make for a natural setting to launch the much-anticipated Surface RT tablet.
