Why You Should Go: This is a jamband line-up that is rarely equaled outside of late night jam sessions at festivals like The New Orleans Jazz and Hertigae Festival. With Grateful Dead drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kruetzman pounding the skins, Mike Gordon of Phish supplying the bass duties, Steve Kimock of Zero and Phil and Friends fame on the guitar and a rotating cast of vocalists including Jen Durkin of The Bomb Squad and Deep Bananna Blackout the evening promises jams galore.
So far on the tour the band has played several classic Dead tunes including The Other One and Sugaree and has also worked a number of new Robert Hunter penned tunes into the setlists. They have been on the road off and on since mid-August and this point I am sure they are hitting their stride as a band.
Don't expect a full set of Dead tunes as you will be dissapointed but if you go looking for a good time and some outstanding musicianship I don't think you will be let down.
The venue is a indoor amusement park of sorts with Bumper Cars, Mini Golf, Bowling, an arcade and of course a full bar. If you get bored with the tunes or just need a break, there will be lots of other things to do.
The show is billed as "Quixote's Fieldtrip @ Fat City Feat The Rhythm Devils." I believe that the Cervantes / Quixote's crew is running a shuttle to the venue from their Welton Street location. Call the venue to check on availability: 303.297.1772

Who Is Timothy Dwenger
Music has always been a part of my life. It probably all started listening to old Grateful Dead, Peter Paul & Mary, and Simon & Garfunkel records that my parents had, but it wasn't long before they were taking me to concerts like Starship, Crosby, Stills & Nash, and Huey Lewis & The News. I got the bug to write about music after reviewing an Eric Clapton concert for a creative writing project in high school but didn't really take it up seriously until 2002. Since then I have published countless articles in The Marquee Magazine and done some work for Jambase.com, SPIN Magazine, and various other outlets. I started Listen Up Denver! as a way to share the music information that is constantly spilling out of my head with people who care. Please enjoy!

My first summer of employment in 1984 was nothing but covering baseball for the Ocean County Observer.
Little League All-Star baseball, Senior League All-Star baseball, Junior League All-Star baseball, and when that ended, it was Ed Carleton League baseball and ultimately Jersey Shore Baseball League action and finally, the state's tournament of champions that brought together teams from around the state to play in late summer to ultimately crown a champion.
I was 17 and suffering withdrawals from the end of the District 18 season. When my boss handed me Ed Carleton League ball, I jumped right on that ... and didn't mind one minute.
And if anyone wanted to come for the ride with me in my mother's Ford LTD II, they were more than welcome to tag along. When I covered the Section 3 All-Star Tournament championship that Brick American lost to Spring Lake-Sea Girt, my sister tagged along -- not that she loved baseball, but the trip was to Sayreville Little League, and not that far from Sayreville's field was a White Castle, and believe me, long before Toms River got one in 1988, a White Castle was a burger joint's version of Fort Knox. Hey, those little burgers were gold as far as she and I were concerned.
Then there was the Ed Carleton League championship involving the Toms River South entry against Eatontown. Jim Renner, who played baseball for my father and I on our Toms River Senior League team for three years and was about to enter Toms River High School East as a freshman in a few weeks, wanted to come along with me for the ride to Liberty Oaks Park on that Friday night. It was the first time that I had gone to the Freehold Township-based park since my father's Junior League All-Star team at Toms River that he coached with Bruce Shepherd as manager beat West Milford in the state final, 2-1, just over five years to the day.
The summer of '84 proved to be a liberating summer for myself. I was a professional even though I probably should not have been trying professional writing for a professional newspaper without a single day of college journalism courses. But that was the beauty of doing correspondent work for the small-town paper -- you get to cut your teeth there and if anyone working there has anything of worth to give you as advice, you take it from them.
Once Ed Carleton Baseball ended, the next task was to cover Jersey Shore Baseball League stuff. The man with the most I could learn from was a guy named Art Rooney. Art was a man in his early 40s, like my parents, who was the perfect coach to play for -- a stern disciplinarian for a summer-league team where you can have some fun but still concentrate on furthering a college baseball career, maybe even more than that. In one of the games I covered -- and I can't remember if it was that summer or the next couple of summers -- this man went up to the plate at 40-something to hit for someone and gave it three mighty swings against a fastball-throwing 20-something. He struck out, but man did he make it worth watching.
The team had won the Jersey Shore League title (by forfeit, no less) and was that league's representative in this statewide Tournament of Champions. In the double-elimination event, the Merchants (Point Pleasant's nickname) took out Woodbridge Recreational, 12-5, in the first game, and their reward was another game on the next day against an outfit called Rutgers Service Center. And, unfortunately, the game was not being played in Point Pleasant.
Road trip!
Except this time, no one wanted to tag along with me on this Sunday afternoon, August 26, 1984. I was left to my own devices and very vague directions to some park near Rutgers University. I was fairly confident in traveling Ocean and Monmouth counties, but I wasn't so assured leaving either county and heading elsewhere. And to be quite honest, I was a little scared.
The only things I had with me other than a scorebook and pencil were directions to the park and field I was going to and a Middlesex County map that was in pages and not like the messy, fold-up versions of maps. If I needed to get from one part of Middlesex County to another, I had to flip from map number 3 to map number 14 in this booklet. So paying attention was kind of important.
I headed up Route 9 until just crossing into Middlesex County and then it was a turnoff onto Route 18 heading north. And the opening part of the Route 18 ride is pretty open. There's lot of trees and lots of nothing. No traffic lights. And here I was trying to sneak a peak at my so-called "maps" figuring out where I had to go once I got closer to New Brunswick. And somewhere along the way, I wound up going from the far left lane to the far right lane without ever noticing what I was doing. It was a good thing I was alone at that moment to at least 28 years later tell you about it!
Once I got into the heavy portion of East Brunswick, then New Brunswick, finding roads became a challenge, but I slowly figured out the road I needed to find -- it was Easton Avenue. From there, it was a couple of turns and somehow, luckily, I found the park and the field where the game was being played.
As I remember walking from the park's parking lot to the playing field, there was this look of amazement on Art Rooney's face as if I had found my way out of the most elaborate labrynth ever assembled. And all I can say as I approached him was, "Made it. May I see your lineup, Mr. Rooney?" for which he handed me his lineup for the day and a "Glad you can make it" in his charming northern New Jersey accent. I grabbed a copy of the Rutgers team's lineup just as the game started since they were in the field first and copied that quickly.
Unlike any other kind of baseball I covered all summer, the upper levels were nine-inning affairs. As I made my way back from copying down Rutgers' lineup, I sat down in the stands behind and next to Point Pleasant's bench. Immediately, I recognize this beautiful-looking lady sitting there, probably not much older than I was. So with curious, 17-year-old hormones wanting to find out who she was, I parked myself down behind her and made small chit-chat through the first inning. I come to find out her boyfriend is the third baseman of the team, Carlo Colombino. I'm thinking, "What a lucky bastard!" She was wearing fancy sunglasses and had that curly '80s hair going. How could you not miss that?
I can see this concentrated look on her face when her boyfriend stepped up with a runner on first in the top of the first inning. He hit a rocket shot -- in most enclosed ballparks, this ball would have gone over a fence and Point Pleasant would have had a 2-0 lead. But this was an open field that the teams were playing on in a park. So center fielder Mike McDede started going back ... and going back ... and going back with his back to the play. Somehow, he caught wind of where the ball was and made an over-the-shoulder grab.
But here's the best part: As he was catching the ball, he was no more than 10 feet away from an implanted bench on an adjacent and unused baseball field. McDede literally jumped over the bench, then had the presence of mind to throw the ball back to the second baseman, who threw a two-hop strike to the first baseman to double off Norm Johannessen, who was probably the second-most shocked person on the field that McDede had caught the ball.
I took a look at the beautiful lady sitting in front of me. Her mouth was agape. Absolutely speechless. To this day, it is still the greatest baseball catch I have ever seen and that was 28 years ago. It has literally stood the test of time.
At this point, this story was writing itself out, but Rutgers' team was not making it fun to write at all. After Jim Ritchings singled home Keith Ender to make it 1-0 in favor of Point Pleasant, Rutgers got three runs in the bottom of the second inning as Jim Fleming made up for an error in the previous half-inning with a two-run single. For good measure, they got three more runs off starter and former Point Pleasant Beach High standout Bob MacDonald in the third inning as MacDonald couldn't locate the plate, walking home one run and bringing another in on a wild pitch. A sacrifice fly by Don Tyus made it 6-1.
And Rooney made sure MacDonald's day was done. He took him out and replaced him with former Brick Memorial High School standout John Sheehan in the fourth. And Sheehan was the rock that the Merchants needed, going six innings, allowing no runs on one hit, walking one and striking out two. But Point Pleasant neeed runs to dig out of this hole. And they had three innings left to do it in.
In the seventh, Ritchings singled and one out later, Curt Pirl tripled to the left-center gap on that huge field to cut the lead to four runs. Sheehan grounded out, but that got Pirl in to make it 6-3. Then Bill Reynolds, a former two-sport standout at Brick High School in baseball and football, started a new rally with a triple to left field. Johannessen walked and Colombino singled in Reynolds. Ender brought in Johannessen and suddenly, the lead was a run.
Now I was thinking this ride could continue. But the Merchants needed another rally in either the eighth or ninth innings. The eighth was out of the question as the Merchants went down quickly. So it came to the ninth.
Leadoff hitter Reynolds started it by reaching on an infield hit. Shortstop Fleming made another error on a Johannessen grounder and Colombino got Reynolds to third with a flyball out that was far more routine than the one he hit in the first inning. It brought up Ender, who had three hits going into the at-bat. He got his pitch from reliever Mike Sokolowski and delivered a single to tie it at 6-6. That brought it up to Bob Benkert. He delivered a single to knock in Johannessen to make it 7-6.
A five-run deficit with nine outs to go was now gone. And the Merchants added two more runs in that frame to take a 9-6 lead. That was good enough for Sheehan to close things out and get the victory.
And there was much joy on the Point Pleasant side from the smattering of fans that were there -- some parents, a few friends, Carlo Colombino's girlfriend.
Point Pleasant moved on to play another weekend. But there was one request that was made by Rooney after this game.
"Keith Ender needs to be somewhere long before we get back," he said. "Are you heading back now? (I nodded by head affirmatively.) Can you take him back with you?"
It didn't cross my mind twice. I said, "Sure! I'll do it!" And as I left, Keith grabbed his gear and he and I piled into my mom's LTD II and we headed back on Route 18 heading south. He had me continue on Route 18 until it spilled onto the Garden State Parkway going south. From that point, he directed me to where he needed to go and so I dropped him off in Point Pleasant and he thanked me for the ride. I jumped back on the Parkway to head back to Toms River to write my story.
One weekend later, Point Pleasant's season came to an end as the Merchants lost to the host Irvington A's, 7-6, in 10 innings in come-from-behind fashion on this little field where if you hit a foul ball just perfectly to the third-base side, the ball could be hugging any one of the four lanes on the Parkway (talk about leaving your comfort zone). It dropped the Panthers to the losers bracket, and the next day, September 2, the Merchants lost on their home field to the Wayne A's, 14-10, in 10 innings, strapped for relief pitching and having to go with poor Jim Ryerson all 10 innings. Point Pleasant out-hit Wayne, 23-16 -- 23-16!!! -- and yet, the season ended for Point Pleasant with a 37-7 record.
A couple of weeks earlier, I had been asked by my boss if I wanted to stay around and cover high school sports that 1984-85 season. It was as if the happiest day of my life had taken place by just being asked. I accepted it and didn't look back from there.
I look back on that summer of '84 fondly, though maybe not as fondly as Bryan Adams looked back at the summer of '69. It was a very good time to start a career and to go cover events in areas I'd never been before. I got to meet new faces and make new friends like my dear friend Mr. Rooney, who I cherish to this day. I think I dealt with Art every summer I worked at the Observer until I moved on in 1999. And I thank him for his introduction to the "bigger leagues."
I don't know whatever happened to that woman that Carlo Colombino was dating. But I still tend to put her in 1984 beauty perspective. I can still see her in my mind. I can still see that Willie Mays-style catch that Mike McDede made on Colombino, bench-jumping and all. I can see myself switching lanes on Route 18 without knowing I did.
What a first summer to be employed.

Cape Town - Ayanda Thabethe is in New York for meetings about her new gig as ambassador for a haircare product.
Thabethe has been reluctant to mention which haircare company she is working with but has posted pictures of her swanky adventures in pricey hotels and restaurants.
Ayanda is staying at The Stewart Hotel where rooms start at R2620.05 per night (at the current rate of exchange at the time of writing). The local presenter also took a pic along with Johnny Wright who has styled Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey's hair.

This must be a new antenna in anticipation of DVB-T2 as The Wrekin has been carrying digital TV for years (my parents get their Freeview from The Wrekin). The Shropshire Star is their local tabloid and their pictures are quite good. You can see some a picture I took of the same transmitter a couple of years ago here and I couldn't miss the chance to quote a bit of Housman.
ON Wenlock Edge the wood's in trouble
His forest fleece the Wrekin heaves;
The gale, it plies the saplings double,
And thick on Severn snow the leaves.

Hey Queen B,
Do you have any recommendations for things that can help out with shopping? Sometimes I find myself overwhelmed with all the little things and I want to be better organized.
-Cluttered Cathy
In general, some tools you should always have are:
- A computer and Internet access. You'll need to hop online to get your assignments and file your reports.
- Some kind of filing system. Both online to keep track of your IC agreements and shop reports, as well as physical files to keep track of all your shopping collateral: business cards, brochures and pamphlets.
- An accounting system to help you keep track of which company owes you what and when. As well as your own notes about if you like working for the company and the assignments that you do.
- A car, or some kind of reliable transportation. If you're in a city like New York or San Francisco, where public transit is the norm, then you'll be fine getting from shop to shop. However, in most areas, you'll need a car if you're going to make assignments worth your time.
- Maps: GPS in your car or on your phone, or you can use Yahoo, Mapquest and Google Maps to help you get to where you're going.
- If you want to do restaurant shops: A timing app on your phone, or watch with a second hand. Many shops (specifically restaurants) are adamant about timing. They want to know how long it took for you to be greeted, seated and get your order, so having something to keep track of those times is very important.
- If you want to do apartment shops: Craigslist, The Apartment Guide and For Rent guides (available in most grocery stores) will help you figure out the kind of property you are visiting so you can appear to be a typical customer. For example: You wouldn't call asking about a studio apartment if the community only offered one and two bedroom apartments.
- Digital cameras can be helpful (or required) for when you need to take photos of locations. If you have a fairly decent camera on your cell phone, those may meet the requirement of the shop.
- Cell phones: If you don't already have one, getting one can become a business expense. You definitely don't need the latest and greatest phone out there, but smart phone can open you up to other shops that require apps to complete. Cell phones are very handy to leave yourself notes while you're shopping since it just looks like you're texting. Also, cameras on phones can help when pictures are required and you want to be a little more covert.
- Video cameras are becoming more popular to use on shops. Sometimes the company will require that you use their cameras, (you'll have to go through a whole screening process) so don't just head out to the spy-shop yet. Yes, these are the 'hidden' cameras that you'd be wearing on a tie, hat, or pin.
- Fax Machine and/or Scanner: for sending back collateral materials (business cards, brochures, etc) to the mystery shopping company. I have had a scanner software malfunction when I was trying to send back materials, but I was able to get around it by taking photos and uploading them that way.
These tools should help you get your shops a little better organized without to much added expense. And, don't forget: they're all tax deductible!
Good luck and happy shopping!
Think about all the extra money you could make by being a mystery shopper, starting your own business, or working from home for a legitimate company. Take control of your income and check out our LEARN page for a list of classes, books, and more!

Numerous media outlets reported on May 11, 2006, that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Names ("ICANN," as in "ICANN screw you however I want"), decided against the creation of a top-level domain ("TLD") of .xxx. The obvious rationale behind a .xxx TLD is that it would make it extraordinarily easy to filter so-called "adult sites." Many porn sites presently use the .com TLD. Some civil libertarian types fear governments might try to force porn sites into this domain hierarchy (this would certainly be a case of the state overreaching its power, but is still preferable to outright censorship). Moreover, the .xxx domain offers the adult industry, schools, libraries, and parents a chance to actually prevent the viewing of so-called objectionable material by minors.
Although no specific reason for the rejection was given, it's unlikely that reactionary politics in the U.S. didn't play something of a role. The rejection of .xxx is just another of a slew of examples of U.S. reactionaries ("conservatives") choosing to keep the status quo over actually protecting the interests of their constituents, many of whom probably don't want their children viewing pornography even as they view it themselves. Another rather hilarious example is when they try to prevent education about birth control, which only encourages more unsafe sex and more abortions.
There is a fear that .xxx would legitimize an industry that arguably has already been legitimized anyway by virtue of the billions of dollars spent on consumption of pornography. To go off on something of a tangent, it might be interesting to consider what type of person is actually entertained by pornography: it's likely the type of person who probably doesn't have a steady supply of healthy sex. It's a safe bet that the type of person likely to view it, even if unhappily married, is the type of bored guy sitting in a hotel room on a business trip with nothing to do, or the person who lives in a lonely suburban subdivision with nothing to do in the evening. Naturally, such people are very likely to vote for reactionaries, even if they don't want anyone interfering with their private viewing conduct.
In the end, one can only marvel at the fact that the self-appointed defenders of private conduct actually went out of their way to exacerbate a problem. The prospect of the .xxx TLD provides one of the few incentives imaginable to the adult entertainment industry to actually keep their unsavory content out of the hands of minors without even imposing a burden on their resources. The problem for moralists, of course, is that it doesn't do anything to limit the consumption of the material by adults who are already viewing it anyway. The .xxx TLD could be easily filtered. All that a firewall or filtering product need do is block the entire .xxx TLD from being accessible to a computer. It should be a no-brainer.

Bomb jihad often lately. Its to fight domination Zionisme International (Jews / Israel) and United States in various parts of the world. Some scholars consider it legitimate. Bombs placed in the body like a bomber plane in piloti man in war. Same weapons. The risk is the same, even jihad bombing more "precision" in selecting targets rather than release a fighter "smart bomb" to kill but fact many people do not sin as in Iraq and Afghanistan and Palestine.
Think of us suddenly attacked stealth bomber and F16 United States, a result of many people dead on piece. Among the victims is so your mother-father, the youngest sister still join the class 1st grade killed and your house is destroyed.
Meanwhile as a result of stray bombs "smart bomb" is removed from the United States the B2 bomber, exploded in a market that is there are chance to buy your beloved vegetables and fish. He also killed the head of 300 meters far separated
Then you live alone, on this earth, there is no more relatives and the people around you beloved. You say the country is already out bend the knees in a matter of weeks later. Think, how you feeling at that time?
Rows of tank-tank, howitzer, helicopter and truck-truck army responsible to kill your brother-relative to that in the end also in the village you (right in the neighborhood where you first lived since small). Do you still hold it and weep? Or you come directly off-line tank that tank as Chinese students in Tiananmen incident field? Of course not!
Then, there is a collection of young people who want to fight the enemy, to invite you to come against. But because the lack of sophisticated weapons, such as they, may not be a short distance from the fight. They all can kill you in the distance thousands of kilometers from the place before you come to them in the post-posnya. Satellite, aircraft detective unmanned, radar sensors high easily detect your presence, long before you can think up to the enemy or not?
Then there is a technology that effectively destroy them, that is by attaching a bomb in your body and exploded near enemy targets. Not possible because the release of the bomb body, and exploded with the "remote control" long-distance, while you can simply run away from the bomb that brought. Because if such a procedure adopted, the new release you just have a jacket bomb ditembak sniper from long distance or near. And you surely die futile. So, tehnology bomb jihad, suicide bombing is not as "suicide" is prohibited in Islamic teachings.
Jihad bomb with the fighter who brought the bomb and the entrance area of enemy air defense is very strict. Equally a human bomb. They have a high risk of death and destroyed the enemy in the field. So, can not said bomb as Jihad suicide bombing. This is based thought some Islamic scholars who justify Jihad bomb to attack targets in the enemy front line as the martyr in Palestine, Iraq and Afghanistan and in other regions in the earth that attact Islam.
How about the catastrophe that does not target civilians sin? Islam only prohibits the killing of children and women in the area of hostilities, when they found out not to armed resistance. But as the people of Israel, for example, all citizens (women and men who have aqil baligh) all reserves that are ready to fight the weapons! So there is no prohibition to kill civilian women and men of the land! How do people with the United States? Same! They support the political and taxpayer faithful to their country, money that they then used the government to slaughter people in many Islamic countries. So they are not even directly involved.

Couple of Items
First of all CNN was the liveliest I've seen it in ages (I am a fairly frequent watcher of this channel) in the wake of Eason Jordan's resignation. The need to self-justify dragged up an interesting item (no, fascinating)about Sudan's rapprochement with the South, but also a whiny David Kay to warn about the dangers of getting Iran's WMD capabilities wrong (this is the man I am convinced has made a plea bargain with the Liberal media: 'don't destroy my professional life and I'll say anything you want me to'). The Sudan item was an interview with one of the former rebel leaders of the South, who now plans to enter a powersharing arrangement with the North. These were just two of the desperate stabs that CNN made to distract from their unease over Eason.
Meanwhile, LGF noticed Red Ken's antisemitism- or should that be anti-Jewishness?- in the light of his support for al-Qaradawi.
And by the way, this article about Argentina's emerging anti-US position and alliances with Cuba and Venezuela from the American Thinker is fascinating.

The things I value about David Frum include his sense of personal involvement in the things he comments about. This was especially evident in a recent post about an Iraqi politician, Mithal al-Alusi, who suffered the terrible loss of two sons in a recent attempt on his life by terrorist gunmen, yet managed when commenting on his devastation to mention a third murder which occurred on the same occasion, that of his bodyguard, in the same breath as his sons'.
I wonder if there is anyone who will read Frum's post apart from me who will make the connection between this incident and another politician who lost two sons to violence in Iraq. The man that I am thinking of is Saddam Hussein. I have to admit I didn't care at all when he lost his sons- in fact I was quietly pleased for a variety of reasons.
So, the question I ask of myself is, do I lack balance to react so differently? Does David Frum for that matter? Or are we actually maintaining a moral compass in distinguishing between the killing of the sons of a peaceful democrat and a those of a vicious dictator.
Should we have marked the deaths of Uday and Qusay, terrible names for many Iraqis, the way we mark the deaths of Mithal al-Alusi's sons, whose names I do not know?
Frum ends his post by quoting from a recent (unpublished, sadly) article from Al-Alusi- which I found quite penetrating. Above all though was the reasonableness of the man. A good man, I would say- even if saying such a thing is really a bit of stretch for anyone.
'Last month, I became the first Iraqi official ever to visit the State of Israel. My visit outraged my colleagues in the provisional Iraqi government. I was fired from my job as General Director of the Supreme National Commission for DeBaathification, expelled from my political party, and stripped of my personal security detail: a potentially deadly punishment for somebody in my position in today's Iraq. I was even threatened with criminal prosecution.'
Frum quotes this in the context of his anger at the narrow-mindedness of rentagob opponents of the US invasion of Iraq. Can't they at least support the kind of people exemplified by Al-Alusi? Can't they keep a civil tongue, at least, in the face of suffering?
To quote Frum:
'Maybe it's too much to ask Americans to support such brave people – that at least seems to be the dominant point of view in today's Democratic party and much of today's elite media. Maybe it's too much even to be bothered to pay attention to Arab democrats' struggles and hardships in exile and under tyranny. But can we not at least refrain from ridiculing them?'
It seems the fault is ours. If only we had valued the lives of Uday and Qusay this might never have happened. I suppose, too, that if Al-Alusi had never been so unbalanced as to show support for Israel what has befallen his family would never have happened, either.
I was reminded of Paul Reynolds, who I quoted yesterday, saying that France and Germany, mindful of the price the US was paying, didn't feel the need to 'rub American faces in it'
But what niggled me so much was what 'it' was. 'It' being US deaths? 'It' being Iraqi deaths? If 'it' was economic problems, then I know who would have experienced more of the rubbing of faces, and it wouldn't be GWB.
As it happens, I completely disagree with anyone who says that the price has been high, too high, or some such thing, even though I can't talk about the price from personal experience, like many a family in the States or in the UK, or like Al-Alusi and some of his compatriots.
The likes of Reynolds seek to trivialise the ends and ridicule the means that the US has made its labour in the Middle East. In doing so people like Al-alusi and the countless victims of terror are merely caught in the crossfire. Too busy pursuing mean spirited political goals, the BBC and co. are simply unable to dignify the deaths of the innocent with respect (even the deaths of those they genuinely accept are innocent- these are the casualties of the random dribblings of the incontinent North American superpower). After all, if we had just shown the respect due to Saddam Hussein, this whole 'adventure' or 'calamity', depending on our rhetorical objectives, would never have taken place.

Ohh, look- the Beeb say Iranians are all unified behind the Mullahs.
Despite the fact that they must know better, they can't resist this temptation towards 'balance', as they call it. They also can't resist saying things like this:
'The BBC's Frances Harrison in Tehran says those in power want to show they have genuine popular support, and make it far more difficult for the Americans to topple the regime.'
Which is the Beeb's way of calling a spade a spade. Didn't hear about it in Condi's speech recently, though. The Beeb knows even better than the French not to believe the words of a neo-Con.
Paul Reynolds has an article about neo-Condi- where I agree with him that Condi has not changed her position in terms of substance. However, after the successful elections in Iraq, I find it hard to credit that Reynolds thinks that
'The French and Germans have no intention of joining in the Iraq adventure and reckon that the US is now paying the price of a wrong decision.
So they do not feel the need to rub American faces in it.'
This is the sort of casual language Reynolds uses when he wants to pull a fast one. It's not as if Bush didn't scupper all their hopes when he got reelected. It's not as if the election success didn't pull a rug from under the Iraq war critics. Their position, as Steyn has argued cogently, is dribbling away. The only question now is what their exit strategy will be: the attentive audiences for Condi suggested that Europeans in fact know the game is up. They've been contradicted by the stained finger. So has Zarqawi. The game's up- but let's not rub their faces in it.

The BBC's sense of priorities was interesting last time I checked. It was held to be bigger news that the British PM 'apologised' (no quotemarks for the BBC) to the Guilford bunch than that MPs were debating the EU Constitution. Even while covering it, the Beeb let Straw get away with the utterly ridiculous argument that the EU Constitution represented a line in the sand:
'Mr Straw said the constitution signalled "thus far and no further" by clearly setting out the limits of EU powers.'
Notice what is quote marked and what isn't. Straw's assertion- yes. Straw's justification for that- no.
In fact, that pathetic gesture politics over the Guildford lot being played by Blair(never mind the pesky bank robbery, we can still be friends) is a long way less important than the progressive seizure of the powers of the United Kingdom's elected legislators.
Bigger still for the Beeb was that Virginian State delegates were backing fines for 'droopy drawers'. So, anti-Americanism conquers much, it would seem. As the BBC puts it, 'US politicians fed up with catching an eyeful of underwear want to fine those who won't hitch up their trousers.'
Yeah, the BBC- well and truly hipsters.
Meanwhile, the BBC reports, unquotemarked, that 'More than one million people from the EU's eight eastern European states have visited the UK since their countries joined last May, figures show.' . Wot, no "visited"?
I notice that 'Around 90,000 said they intended to stay longer than three months', and I wonder if that is all we have to rely on- what they say.
For coverage of the issue that actually raises some questions instead of enforcing answers irrespective, Nicholas Vance asks some questions of the Beeb.
For coverage of the Constitution debate that doesn't tolerate the Straw man's puffery, EURef has a nice post, and promises more to come.

Looks like I was right, sort of, and the Diplomad's period of grace has ended. Whether this was the consequence of the big splash they made considering the sensitivity of their occupation, I leave you to decide based on their valedictory post.
It was good while it lasted, and they link to some alternatives for our perusal. There're plenty of options to put in my links section- more appearing than dissappearing, I feel, on balance.

A Fine Line or a Crooked Path?
Some scepticism here and here about the Sharon rapprochement with Abbas as some kind of Oslo-lite. I'm sympathetic when no-one has really demonstrated to me that Abbas is any more unequivocally committed to peaceful means of resolving the issue than Arafat was. Sure, Abbas can be found saying the right things, and can engender some modest moves in the right direction, but I believe Arafat was capable of that. I see (saw) Sharon's unilateral disengagement plans as- essentially and justly- an attempt to gain the best grounds for fighting a war by either means necessary. If it means signing up to the UN/BBC/French/Palestinian 'peace plan', then it means nothing good for Israel. I don't yet concede that's what we're getting right now, but it could be. The American Thinker (second link) was particularly scathing, and that publication is lashing Bush generally at the moment. I would counsel patience, but Republicans feel that they have some slack to use post election, and they're really using it. Says the A.T.:
'Sharon's actions are so inexplicable, so out of character, so extreme and so dangerous that one can seriously inquire if he is in his right mind. ... If the Bush Administration continues its ruinous course of supporting Sharon's "disengagement" policy and joining him in the appeasement of the Abbas-Fatah terrorist regime, then it too will be guilty of betraying its own principles as enunciated in Mr. Bush's justly celebrated speech of June 24, 2002'
To which I would reply, still, 'wait and see.'

Stormin' Norman? Really, I never would have thought of our mild-mannered Norman Geras in such terms if the Times hadn't just used them in a big splash profile. (via Powerline)

Want a sound basis for understanding the world of international politics? Don't want to be a dummy and trust all the wrong people to do things which completely miss the point? Read Mark Steyn now. Yes, lots of people have linked his latest article, most of you will have read it, but this is my favourite part:
'a few days ago, the UN Human Rights Commission announced the working group that will decide which complaints will be heard at their annual meeting in Geneva this spring: the five-nation panel comprises the Netherlands, Hungary, Cuba, Saudi Arabia and Zimbabwe. I wouldn't bet on them finding room on their crowded agenda for the question of human rights in Cuba, Saudi Arabia and Zimbabwe, would you? One of the mystifying aspects of UN worship is the assumption that this embryo world government is a "progressive" concept. It's not. Its squalid geographic voting blocs, which use regional solidarity to inflate the status of nickel'n'dime dictators, are merely a Third World gloss on the Congress of Vienna – a relic of an age when contact between states was confined to their governing elites. In an era of jet travel, internet and debit cards that work in any bank machine from Vancouver to Vilnius to Vanuatu, there are millions of global relationships far better for the long-term health of the planet than using American money to set up Eurowimp talking shops manned by African thugs – which is what the UN Human Rights Commission boils down to.'
This passage, especially the last part, contains oodles of that precious commodity, reality.

text: Ugandan police have arrested one of the four most wanted suspects from Rwanda's 1994 genocide after he entered the country by bus from the Democratic Republic of Congo. The former Rwandan intelligence officer is accused of organising the slaughter of civilians and ordering the murder a former queen of Rwanda. The Ugandans have now extradited him to Arusha in northern Tanzania to face trial at the UN International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda. The US offered $5 million for his capture, though it is not clear who will receive this. The UN court charges that the suspect prepared lists of ethnic Tutsi intellectuals and those in authority in Rwanda before handing them over to armed groups who killed them.

One of my recent study projects was to develop a pitch for a new kid's content, day-time 'wrapper' show. Thus, 'Jungle Treehouse' was born.
Dan and his best friends Max the Monkey and Peppa the Parrot explore the wonders the jungle has to offer.
I designed the logo to be simple but colourful. The idea was that this could be animated in the program opening. Bright and bold colours were used as they are enticing to children and they bring a sense of lightness to a generally dark jungle. I really liked the fonts as they are fun and childlike and are easy for children to read.
Dan's Treehouse is the basis for all their adventures. The set was designed to be open and colourful, tying in with the brand style. I created the set using a mix of Photoshop and Illustrator.
There are 3 main characters to the show. Dan, who is a live actor, Max a puppet monkey and Peppa a puppet parrot. The 2 puppets were really fun to create and allowed me to explore pencil techniques in Illustrator. To polish them off, I chose a gradient fill to add more depth to them along with some shadowing.


text: In many situations, a range lookup isn't what you want. This is particularly true in lookup tables that contain a set of unique lookup values that represent discrete values instead of ranges. For example, if you need to look up a customer account number, a part code, or an employee ID, you want to be sure that your formula matches the value exactly. You can perform exact-match lookups with VLOOKUP() and HLOOKUP() by including the range_lookup argument with the value FALSE. The next couple of sections demonstrate this technique.

The army aircraft targeted several times the positions of Jeish al-Islam in the town of Mesraba, while other fighter jets pounded terrorists' stronghold South of the town of Douma, killing and wounding a number of militants.
The warplanes further conducted heavy airstrikes on terrorists' concentration centers in a region between al-Shifouniyeh and Mesraba four times.
In the meantime, the gathering centers of Al-Nusra Front (also known as Fatah al-Sham Front or the Levant Liberation Board) in al-Qaboun district were badly hit in the army's missile attacks.
Reports said on Thursday that the army units heavily clashed with the terrorists in the Northeastern parts of al-Qaboun and drove them out of several farms and residential blocks.
They also attacked the al-Nusra Front's positions in al-Qaboun district and its supply routes in Jobar, killing several terrorists.

Embattled former governor of Benue State, Mr Gabriel Suswam, spent his second day in the custody of the Department of State Services, DSS, Monday, as his bid to secure bail flopped, Vanguard learned.
Vanguard learned that there were frantic efforts early in the day by friends and associates of the former governor to secure his bail but the move reportedly hit a brick wall, leaving him at the mercy of his host, who believe strongly that he had a criminal case to respond.
It was learned that apart from the illegal possession of arms and ammunition, the security agency was also contemplating handing him over to the anti-corruption agencies to investigate and possibly prosecute for the vast property and valuables discovered with him. A source close to the DSS confirmed that the former governor was still being interrogated as at 9:30 last night and that there were indications he would not be going home last night. The DSS, on Sunday, alerted the nation of the arrest of Suswam following the discovery of what it called 'incriminating items' from two exotic cars belonging to the former governor which it also confiscated.

Commission vote enlivens Texas history
Updated 10:13 pm, Saturday, October 27, 2012
Members of the Texas State Library and Archives Commission acted in the best interests of the state when they voted this week to allow Lt. Col. William Barret Travis' legendary "victory or death" letter to be displayed at the Alamo. Travis authored the letter, with its impassioned call for reinforcements and commitment to hold out at all costs, during the 1836 siege.
A courier rode away from the Alamo with the letter on Feb. 24, 1836. It has never been back to the Alamo in the nearly 177 years since the battle. In fact, it has rarely been on public display, and almost never outside of Austin.
Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson deserves credit for pushing to display the letter as part of commemorations for the Battle of the Alamo. The archives commission was originally skeptical of the proposal, citing concerns about security and preservation of the letter. Patterson alleviated those concerns and pledged to raise $100,000 in private funds to protect and preserve the document at the Alamo and during transport to and from San Antonio.
Patterson is likely to raise those funds swiftly. Countless Texans will be willing to support this worthy effort. Countless more will come to the Alamo from Feb. 23 to March 7 to see an icon of Texas history.
The archives commission's primary purpose is to safeguard such treasures of Texas history. The decision of its members to put the Travis letter on public display at the Alamo will bring that history to life. In so doing, it will inspire Texans to study their heritage and take a greater interest in the other historical documents that are in the commission's care.

The tote is the perfect size for kids to carry. It's not too big, which could put strain on little ones, yet it is large enough to hold the chalk mat and ButterStix, with plenty of room left over for all sorts of other activities. I was able to fit 2 coloring books, a couple of reading books, a pack of crayons, a snack, and a juice box with room to spare. And yes, it is machine washable!
The chalk mat doubles as a place mat, making it the perfect thing to keep your kids busy while you are working in the kitchen. These come in three fun styles, for girls or boys. There is a handy pocket sewn into the side for holding your ButterStix and a ribbon to make it easy to tie up and store for your next use. Another great feature is that they are water and stain resistant. Perhaps greatest of all, they are PVC, phthalate and BPA free, so no worries about safety!
The Butterstix are an awesome tool! When I think of chalk, I think of messy, powdery, and something for the kid to play with outside. These are something altogether different. There is no chalky mess, and they write with almost a buttery feel, hence the name "ButterStix." A chalk holder comes with each pack, making it easier for little ones to hold, and less likely to break. The ButterStix do not wipe off like regular chalk would, instead, a wet paper towel does the trick, leaving the chalk mat looking like new.
This is such a great little set! Anyone going on a trip, or who frequently makes day trips would get great use out of these. My daughter has had such a fun time creating new designs and practicing writing on her chalk mat.
One of you lucky readers is going to get the chance to try these out as well! Of course, if you just can't wait, you can buy them HERE. The giveaway is open to all those 18+ in the U.S. Only one entrant per household, please! The giveaway ends on Oct. 4 at midnight, and the winner will be notified via email.
Good luck!
*I received products in exchange for my honest review. Regardless, all opinions expressed are my own. This giveaway is in no way connected to Facebook, Pinterest, or Twitter.

Lyrics for 'Hurt' by My Mother Is Hero
I sit beneath the roof of stars
I'm so tired tonight
I've been hit so hard
God, I know this pain is your love
Now, I'm crying
Breaking all the pain that freezes
When I realize
This life ain't just about breathin'
I'm running out of words I can say
I'm running out of beauty I can feel
When the pain has come, so real
When all of the false peacefullness has revealed it's true face
Now, I'm crying
Breaking all the pain that freezes
When I realize
This life ain't just about breathin'
Now a dream will stay a dream
All of the pain will be buried
Maybe wound will heal
But the scar will show it's vanity

More than 80,000 people with £22bn of pension savings could find that their life savings are at risk because the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) provides them with less protection than conventional retirement funds if they suffer fraud or insolvency.
Only insured funds within self-invested personal pensions (Sipps) are entitled to the full protection that the FSCS extends to insurance products. They get 100pc cover for the first £2,000 and 90pc cover for the rest, with no cap on compensation. Until 2006, Sipps were not even covered by the regulator at all – and the vast majority of personal pensions were provided by insurers.
General distrust of insurers following scandals such as Equitable Life, pensions mis-selling and the failure of mortgage endowments has encouraged more consumers to go down the self-invested route: Money Management magazine, which carries out an annual survey of Sipps, recorded a 20pc rise in their number between 2007 and 2008. Many investors in these schemes are relying much more heavily on shares, unit trusts, property, bonds and cash to build their retirement savings. But only the first £50,000 of cash deposits are covered, and for investments you can only claim back up to £48,000 – which would generate a tiny pension at current annuity rates.
Although they are very rare, instances of fraud and insolvency are hardly unheard of these days. Most recently, Bernard Madoff's fraud, which resulted in thousands of pensioners losing their life savings, should provide cause for caution.
The Financial Services Authority's own consumer panel has been lobbying the regulator on the compensation apartheid faced by Sipp holders, but has received little in the way of positive response. Last month, the panel's vice-chairman, Kay Blair, wrote to the regulator to warn of this issue. She said: "From a consumer perspective, this is an anomaly that must be addressed. Our view is that all trustee-based Sipp assets should be protected to the same unlimited level as insured Sipp assets."
Ms Blair added that the panel had especial concern for people holding cash in Sipps, something many are advised to do on the approach to retirement. "As Sipp holders approach retirement their funds will be switched into cash-backed assets prior to the likely purchase of an annuity and will, ultimately, be held in a bank account as a large lump sum. There does not seem to be provision so far for such cash sums to be protected beyond the level applied to other bank balances, currently £50,000.
"We believe that it would be wholly unfair for consumers to be exposed to substantial losses at a point in their lives where, by definition, they are unlikely to be in a position to recoup the monies and where the capital sum is likely to represent a lifetime's savings. We strongly recommend the extension of forthcoming rules on 'temporary high balances' to cash balances relating to Sipps and other personal pensions saving."
Late last year, James Hay, the Sipp provider, published research showing that an estimated £13bn was being held in cash in Sipps. In total, Standard Life estimates that there is about £50bn held in around 400,000 Sipps.
In reality, it is highly likely that the number of people affected by this anomaly is far higher than the estimated 80,000 holders of trustee-based Sipps. According to the latest Sipp survey by Money Management, there are more than 300,000 insured and self-invested schemes in existence, a very large proportion of which may not be invested in insured funds.
Even those Sipps provided by insurers usually offer exposure to non-insured assets. In the case of Standard Life, for example, which holds one-fifth of the Sipp market, only 40pc of Sipp assets are in insured funds. Cash in Standard Life Sipps amounts to 11pc of the total; 20pc is in mutual funds such as unit trusts and open-ended investment companies (Oeics), and 29pc is held in other assets such as shares, property and external bank accounts.
Even if your Sipp is not with an insurer, or largely invested in insured funds, most large Sipp providers have rigid trust structures in place to protect your assets in the case of company failure. There are, however, a large number of small providers that do not have the scale to provide the same sorts of protection.
Andrew Tully, head of pensions policy at Standard Life, said: "Some of the small Sipp providers are struggling to meet regulatory requirements and we are likely to see some consolidation between providers as a result." The FSA has recognised this particular problem, and issued a paper this month outlining its dissatisfaction with the way some small Sipp providers treat investors. It is having discussions with the Sipp industry on this subject. But it refuses to be drawn on the issue of differing compensation levels for Sipp investors.
A spokesman said the regulator had merely considered the possibility of reducing levels of cover for insured products, but not raising levels for other investment products.
"In the long-term (mainly life) insurance sector, 90pc of cover is provided. However, some products are designed more as investment vehicles than insurance. This could be presented as an argument for restricting the absolute amount of the cover available in the same way that absolute limits operate for investments and deposits.
''However, this approach would fail to distinguish the protective element of insurance cover provided by such products. Many are, after all, designed as longer term investments which allow one to "provide for the future". The use of life insurance policies within the personal pensions market underlines this fundamental link.
"In the past, most retirement saving was achieved through the use of personal pensions which tended to be insurance-based products. It is only in recent years that more people have had access to, and are using, Sipps as a vehicle for retirement savings."
Ros Altmann, the independent pensions expert, is involved with lobbying the FSA on this subject. She said: "We should have a uniform protection and uniform regulation in place for all retail pensions and people will not find out that this is not the case until it is too late. It is absurd – you want your holiday to be insured, how much more important is it to have your pension insured?
"After all the pensions scandals we have endured, how many lessons do we need to learn before we get it right?"
The largest Sipp providers are also now calling for a unification of compensation rules. Tom McPhail, head of pensions at Hargreaves Lansdown, the independent financial adviser (IFA), which provides the Vantage Sipp, said the likelihood of a Sipp investor losing their life savings in this way was low. He explained that most good Sipp providers ring-fence investors' money within a trustee company – although this can never guard 100pc against the prospect of fraud. However, he added: "Yes, we should certainly have a uniform compensation system across all retail pensions, and then we wouldn't even have to debate this issue."
Billy Mackay, marketing director at A J Bell, another very large Sipp provider with trust company structures in place to protect investors, said: "I am all for simplicity, but what we have is a hugely complex structure. Despite the simplification of pensions in 2006, we are still surrounded by reams of complex regulation and provisions. With the latest plans by the Government to reduce tax relief for higher earners, we are in danger of going backwards."
Insurance and investment products under the remit of the FSA – and therefore covered by the FSCS – attract different levels of protection because of a highly convoluted sequence of events that led to several different regulators coming under the one FSA umbrella in 2000. Each had its own compensation scheme that offered different protection for different things. Unfortunately, the new FSCS scheme has not done enough to introduce uniformity.
Mr McPhail warned that the regulatory system must be reviewed properly before the introduction of Personal Accounts next year, which will require all employers to automatically enrol workers in a pension scheme.
alternative homes for your pension cash
If you have large cash holdings in your pension, it is wise to spread it over different holdings – not just for diversity, and therefore greater security, but also because interest rates are so low.
Martin Bamford, from the independent financial adviser (IFA) Informed Choice, said: "The default cash option for cash within a self-invested personal pension (Sipp) is the trustee bank account, but since the Bank Rate was slashed to 0.5pc earlier this year it is not uncommon for these to pay no interest at all.
"Some Sipp providers derive part of their revenue from a share of the interest from the trustee bank account, so even if ordinary savings accounts are paying interest they may not be within a Sipp." Deposit accounts available to Sipp investors are limited, but Mr Bamford recommended the Investec Pension and Trust Reserve Account from Investec Private Bank, which is paying 2pc gross interest on balances between £25,000 and £99,999.
Adrian Lowcock, senior investment adviser at Bestinvest, the IFA, suggested looking at other investment assets as well.
"Although many people regard cash as the safest of investments, if your need is primarily for income it actually has several big disadvantages; the income can fluctuate massively and in the long run there is no growth to counter the effects of inflation." Mr Lowcock suggested Fidelity Moneybuilder, which is yielding about 4.9pc at the moment, and is "a low-volatility fund in quality bonds", he added. You must be prepared to take on the extra risk, however.
Money market funds, which may be held in Sipps, are also a good way to provide diversification for your cash holdings.
Mr Bamford said: "These differ from deposit accounts because they do not offer the same level of capital security, but there is the prospect of a better return. Money market funds typically invest in a range of cash or near-cash assets including short-term deposits and money market instruments. One of the top performers over the last year has been Henderson Cash, which returned 3.15pc compared to a sector average of 0.74pc."
Mr Lowcock recommended the Goldmans Sterling Liquidity fund, which is a money markets fund offering very low risk and returning 0.72pc.
Wherever you choose to keep your cash, make sure you have a spread of different types of cash fund or account, and don't keep more than £50,000 in any of them – £48,000 in the case of investment funds.

(This was written before the game and before that first series, so obviously, Iowa wins it's in a bowl and it's going to be way better than 6-6.)
OK, first the number of bowl-eligible Big Ten teams has to match the number of bowl slots available. So, the Big Ten has seven slots, eight when the BCS bowls snap up two Big Ten teams. If the number of bowl-eligible teams matches the number of slots, a 6-6 team can jump over a 7-5, according to Scott Chipman, Big Ten assistant commissioner for communications.
This mainly deals with the conference's final two bowl slots, the Insight and Motor City. Neither bowl is held to the "two-win, two-loss differential," which states a Big Ten team can't jump another with two wins. But if the numbers match up and if (of course, it's an if) the Hawkeyes finish 6-6, they could leap a 7-5 for an Insight bid.
The Big Ten bowl picture has two more weeks to cook, but three teams have already been eliminated from bowl contention — Michigan (3-7), Indiana (3-7) and Purdue (3-7).
Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin all sit on the cusp of bowl eligibility. The Big Ten should finish with eight bowl-eligibles for seven official slots.
After today's game with No. 3 Penn State, the Hawkeyes are left with a home game against Purdue and a road trip to Minnesota to chart its bowl course.
"We want to go to the highest bowl we can possibly achieve," Iowa athletics director Gary Barta said.
With Iowa's record for rabid fans and bowl RVs, if the Insight has the opportunity, it's a pretty good bet it'd take a 6-6 Iowa over potential 7-5 Northwestern and Minnesota.
The Outback and Capital One/Champs Sports Bowls were in the Iowa pressbox Saturday.
