I wish to express my opposition to the proposed "Trade Regulation Rule on Business Opportunities." Although I appreicate the efforts to ensure that individuals are protected against business scams and the importance of accurate business information, this FTC proposal should not be considered as it also negatively affects quality, legal business opportunities. As a voting citizen of the United States I strongly oppose this FTC proposal.

Dealer caught selling drugs in loo of OMG nightclub
A DEALER has been locked up for two years for trying to sell class A drugs in the toilets of a Bristol nightclub.
Prosecuting at Bristol Crown Court yesterday, Anjali Gohil said that on March 9 a door supervisor at OMG in Frogmore Street went into the toilets and saw Daniel Bennett holding a "snap-seal" plastic bag.
He heard the 19-year-old say to another man in the toilets: "It's good quality stuff. Do you want to buy it or not?"
Two door staff restrained him until the police arrived and when he was searched, a yellow capsule was recovered containing five bags of ecstasy (MDMA), weighing a little over 1g.

Another 0.42g of the drug was found on him and the total street value of the drugs was about £50.
Bennett, of no fixed abode, admitted possessing a class A drug with intent to supply.
Ms Gohil told the court he had previous convictions for possessing cannabis and possessing cocaine.
Mitigating, Sam Jones said his client had had a very difficult childhood and had spent much of his teenage years in squats or homeless.
Of the latest crime, Mr Jones said: "He now knows how serious the offence was, but he didn't know it at the time.
"He has been convicted of drug possession before but the longest sentence he's ever had is six weeks."
Mr Jones said in recent months Bennett had started a relationship and "has taken real steps to turn his life around".
Judge Michael Roach took into account the 19-year-old's early guilty plea, his personal circumstances and a hand-written letter from Bennett before sentencing him to two years in a Young Offenders' Institution.
As Bennett stood in the dock, in tears, Judge Roach told him: "You were silly to get yourself involved in dealing at nightclubs at night."
He had already served 109 days in custody, which will be deducted.

It's a duel in the desert with these lively and fun piano bars in Vegas. Here's the two best ones.
People pack the fun dueling piano bars like here at New York New York.
Sometimes, the most fun bars are in Vegas involve dueling pianos, where a duo of ivory ticklers like to tickle the soul.
Everyone is singing, some are dancing in place and they are partying heavily. Rarely is the patron to be found without a big smile.
The performers don't so much tickle the ivories as pound them with fun songs.
They have become so popular in Las Vegas that people plan their nights around them, and make them the centerpiece of their trip to Vegas. They are especially popular among big groups, such as bachelorette parties.
And when there's a bachelorette party in Vegas, there is fun for everyone else who is there with them.
What song will be played next!? It's part of the fun at the dueling piano bars.
The most popular of these is the The Bar at Times Square in New York, New York. Simply put, it's a blast for anyone with a lot of enthusiasm and energy.
The crowd here is primarily mid-20s/mid-30singles and everyone is singing, screaming and, eventually, laughing. There can be some pretty headed debates over which songs are being played – the pianists use a bidding process to determine the songs and sometimes that exceeds $100 a tune – and that adds a bit of reality TV-style drama to the show.
Of course, you don't have to participate in the bidding, for it's a blast just to be in there enjoying the show. PubClub.com likes to hang by the bar, which is often one of the best mingling bar spots in all of Vegas.
Note that there's often a cover of $10, perhaps even $15, even on some weekdays.
The blonde piano player gets to her feet at Harrah's.
One of the dynamic blonde sisters rooks the house at Harrah's.
They seem to like the song she's playing at The Piano Bar.
Up the strip, it's not as lively at Harrah's, but is still fun. Here, it's called simply The Piano Bar and while it's smaller its' also cheaper (occasionally there's a $5 cover) and missing the full-on frenzy of New York New York but that's part of it's appeal.
It's smaller and more casual, and when the hot blonde sisters are the primary attraction and they let it rip. The crowd tends to be a bit older than the Bar at Times Square, and also there's more couples.
But this is Vegas and you just never know when an opportunity for singles may present itself.

We war in town from Calgary .. To visit a friend . And we war in the mood for some Mexican food . So we look it up in tripadviser ..is a bit Smal place but real good food even the kids like it .. If your down in surrey and your in the mood for Mexican .give a try.
Based on the ratings we tried this small place and will definitely be back!
We were in Surrey for a baseball tournament, and were completely unfamiliar with the area. Surrey is quite spread out and there are many different restaurants and areas...I was so happy that I'd consulted Trip Advisor and found this gem! Truly one of the best, and most reasonably-priced, meals that we had. My family of 6 LOVES good, authentic Mexican... More
I've grown up around Surrey and for years passed this place by but finally went in earlier this week. They have a decent selection of Mexican/Salvadorian grocery items and they also serve food. We went in for dinner. I had the Mole Enchiladas (tried both chicken and beef) and my husband had the Chili Rellano. Both meals were delicious. We... More
You have to try!!! Specially the burritos .. Nothing else to say..
Good food!!! Good price .. How can you go wrong !!
Seriously awesome authentic Mexican food. Cheap too! Go there now!

Howell was named the Bay Valley Athletic League Offensive Player of the Year following his final season at Heritage. He hit .466 as a high school senior, driving in nine runs and stealing seven bases. The freshman has seen limited action for the Beavers, appearing in six games this spring.
"Like most players who have not seen a lot of action in the school season, I'm sure he will be chomping at the bit to get out on the field when he gets here this summer," said AppleSox manager Ed Knaggs.
The AppleSox are part of the West Coast League, one of the premier wooden-bat summer college leagues in the country.

I think it is possible to use only cosine function, but why the formula is used with sine? I am trying to understand but don't know what to do after Fourier transform with imaginary part and real part.

I'm not sure which Fourier transform you mean, but I have only seen Fourier series written where the phase, e.g. $e^{2\pi i n x}$ for some integer n, is decomposed into its real and imaginary parts $cos(2\pi n x) +i sin(2\pi n x)$. Since sine and cosine are related to each other by translation, $sin (\pi/2 - x) = cos (x)$ and similarly $cos (\pi/2 - x) = sin (x)$ (this is a classic trig identity and is an instance of the sum angle formula where one of the angles is $\pi/2$ and one is -x). You can rewrite the above expression in terms of only sines or only cosines. The choice of sine or cosine is up to the author and purely a matter of preference. There is no "best way" to write the Fourier series. Writing Fourier series in terms of sines and cosines seems to be antiquated within mathematics; I don't know if it is still popular in physics or engineering. Most modern books on Fourier series (e.g. any of Stein's books on Fourier analysis) write formulas in terms of the complex exponentials above. This is in part because the Fourier transform on the real line is written similarly, all the necessary information is encoded in the exponential like orthogonality relations and most likely because it's easier to write. As far as what to do "after Fourier transform", I don't know what you mean. Could you please explain? |

Fourier Transforms require imaginary and real parts for the reasons discussed in comments. However, there are transforms that only have real parts such as the Discrete Cosine Transform. |

Muhammad Legacy of a Prophet (Documentary)DVD
Fourteen Hundred years ago , a humble merchant who could not read or right changed the face of arabia. Today, his influence has spread to every corner of the world including United States. This is the story muslims have passed down generations after generations for 1400 years. It is a story about a Merchant, Husband, Father, statesman and warrior whom they consider the Final Prophet.... The Man Whose Legacy Continues To Shape Their Lives Today.
This is the story of a 7th century merchant who changed world history in 23 years, and continues to shape the lives of more than 1.6 billion people today. This film creates a lively, thorough, and honest portrait of Muhammad, one that takes viewers not only to ancient Arabian locations where Muhammad's story unfolded, but also into the homes, mosques and workplaces of some of America's seven million Muslims. Leading scholars and theologians round out the documentary with insights and details about Muhammad, what he did, and why Muslims call him the Final Prophet.
This sweeping two-hour documentary goes well beyond the boundaries of the past. "Muhammad is 'history in the present tense,'" says co-creator/producer Michael Wolfe, a well-known Muslim author. "In it, we reflect on this 7th century story through the experiences of 21st century Americans who feel deeply connected to what Muhammad did, said and believed." A presentation of KQED/San Francisco, the documentary is produced by Kikim Media and Unity Productions Foundation. Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet was created and produced by Michael Wolfe and Alexander Kronemer, and produced and directed by Michael Schwarz. Noted actor André Braugher is the narrator. With some of the world's greatest scholars on Islam providing historical context and critical perspective, Muhammad: Legacy of a Prophet tells of intrigue and faith, revolutionary ideas and bitter persecution, brutal war and brilliant diplomacy in an arid desert where tribal allegiance was often the only protection. Muhammad was orphaned as a child, but he was fortunate to be born into the powerful tribe of the Quraysh in the city of Mecca, a regional pilgrimage site and commercial crossroads. He became a successful trader based in this cosmopolitan center and married a woman who was a wealthy merchant. Yet as Muhammad prospered with the city, he saw that the poor were increasingly neglected and hedonism dominated the culture.
^ I dont think thats the one.
This is an animated movie, not a documentary as such. It came out in the states i think in 2004. i think it'll be coming out here soon too inshallah.
what are people views on animations based on the life of our prohet and his companions. i dont want to start a debate, but generally spekaing creating images is wrong according to sharia.
oooo i saw the advert!!!
Looks good, theyre not gonna show The Prophet(saw)
Heres more details
So whos gonna watch it???
Well done to the producers - i couldn't load that page ^^^
but this is one of the best ways to show our side of the story - and a very good dawah technique. Buy it on dvd, and be sure to give it as a gift

peace and blessings upon him ...also there everytime his great name is mentioned
Wicked! I cant wait to see it nowOriginally Posted by BHAI1
Warning, the second post in the thread, points to a documentary called "Muhammad, legacy of the prophet". Can I just warn people that this is one of the most boring documentaries ever made, and I would go further to say, that this is a zionist conspiracy to make people leave Islam out of sheer boredom.
//yeah the second parts a joke.

text: The Show Catwalk Fashion Shows Spring/Summer 2006 Ready-To-Wear Paul Smith 20 September 2005 FADED wallpaper prints have come into their own this season and if there's one designer who can really take them to their full potential, it's Paul Smith. One of the world's most successful designers, Smith's loyalty to London is unabated and his pride in his heritage returned yet again this morning as cricket jumpers slouched over pretty lace-edged silk slips in honour of our recent Ashes triumph. "She's not over model-ly, she just knows how to mix and match her clothes," Paul said of the woman he's dressing for spring/summer 2006, and so he's given her crisp white shorts to hold up with skinny black belts, faded floral prints on gorgeous tea dresses and full skirts as well as plenty of her boyfriend's dress shirts to wear collarless and open over more lacy underwear dresses. The occasional muddy cardigan and matching skirt was a tad on the frumpy side, but those were quickly forgotten as striped boating blazers put Smith's love of all things British back into the spotlight and delicious lace empire-lined tops added serious vintage chic to his extensive repertoire.

To run test case with variable data you need to specify where configuration file is located. You can edit the configuration file yourself.
To run "Core-Camera-Stream from device to screen" case you can use:
blts-v4l2 -l /var/log/tests/Core-Camera-Stream_from_device_to_screen.log -en "Core-Camera-Stream from device to screen" -C example-blts-v4l2.cnf
Example of Stream case variation (example-blts-v4l2.cnf):

The standard and extended control tests support verification of the camera snapshot image using an external tool. Image verification is enabled by specifying values for the image_save_path
and image_verify_tool
global configuration parameters, and by giving the -i command line flag when running the test. Once a camera snapshot has been saved for a certain control setting, the tool given in image_verify_tool
is run with a command line like this:
verify_tool <snapshot image name> <control name> <V4L2 control id> <control value>
The verification tool should return zero when the image is verified successfully, and a non-zero value when the verification fails. The output of the tool is appended to the log file of the test.
The minimum and maximum values reported by the V4L2 driver can be compared with values specified in the configuration file. The test succeeds if the values match exactly, and fails otherwise. The minimum and maximum values are specified as global configuration parameters, with a special naming format:
dev<number of device>_<escaped control name>_min = <minimum value>
dev<number of device>_<escaped control name>_max = <maximum value>
As the global configuration value identifiers cannot contain spaces or any of the /()[] characters, which may be present in the name of a V4L2 control, the control name must be escaped by replacing spaces with underscores, and by removing any prohibited characters from the name. For example, values for the control named Exposure Time (us)
on the device /dev/video0
could be provided like this:
dev0_Exposure_Time_us_min = 1000
dev0_Exposure_Time_us_max = 100000
By default, the control tests use the minimum and maximum values reported by the V4L2 driver to test a control. Additional test values can be provided as global configuration parameters in the configuration file, using a format similar to the min/max format:
dev<number of device>_<escaped control name>_testvalues = "<space-delimited list of values>"
For example:
dev0_Exposure_Time_us_testvalues = "25000 50000 75000"

The Dark Knight Rises
The epic finale to the dark knight trilogy is finally here! After months and months of nervousness, anxiety, and excitement, the end to this incredible film series has come to an end. All great things must come to an end, and so, Christopher Nolan and his wonderful crew, and the cast say goodbye to their iconic take on Gotham City's dark knight. Think back to the ending of Batman & Robin (1998); did it ever cross your mind that we would ever come to see a series so well done and devoted to reinventing Batman's legacy? To be quite honest, the answer was probably no back in those times. No one really knew about Christopher Nolan back then, and perhaps the mentality was that Warner Bros. would continue to release the rather comedic Batman films that had been released by Joel Schumacher. Tim Burton introduced us to the dark character that is Bruce Wayne and his alter-ego of Batman, but it was not until Nolan came around that we began to love the effective blend of drama and action he brought to these films. Despite the abundance of comic book films that have been released in the last decade by Marvel Comics, it is The Dark Knight that has been critically praised as being one of the greatest, if not the best comic book film of all-time. So what happens when you make a trilogy- ending film to continue the story of such an incredible film series already? Quite frankly, you put all the cards on the table. That is precisely what Christopher Nolan does in this film.
How high can you go in terms of excellence in film? Given the tools that you have to work with as a director, how far can you go to do the unthinkable, and raise the bar for film making even higher? The problem with trilogies in film is that by the third film, often times the quality of the production falls. From the first film in the series to the last, it is difficult to maintain the level of excellence that should be expected in a trilogy. The Dark Knight impressed on so many levels because it was a film that absolutely no one was expecting. It took what worked well in Batman Begins, and went a step further. That is what raised the interest and expectation for a third film in this series. Not only did Heath Ledger earn his post-humous Academy Award for his diabolical and disturbing performance as The Joker, but it was a film that kept us all at the edge of our seats. It was a film that was cleverly written, and critically put together to keep the interest of fans from start to finish. Far from simple in its execution, it presented a story that was direct and to the point. This is what makes any kind of film a great one. However, when you have a film that is the ending of an incredible trilogy, there is a simple approach that can be taken, however the bar had already been raised extremely high by the success of The Dark Knight. What movie fans may often overlook is how hard it is to really please everyone given the great screen time that every character in this film and series deserves. The more characters there are, the more people tend to believe that a film is overstuffed and bloated. That argument makes it easy to forget just how critical these characters really are to the development of the film's story.
Something that has been very easy to overlook is the role of the supporting characters in these films. You can expect brilliance in the performances from the lead actors, and they do not disappoint in this film, but one thing that has been made very clear in Nolan's films, and especially in this trilogy, is that every character has a vital role in the story. It does not matter if their role is major or small, they play a fundamental role in the film's success. It is an aspect of a film's greatness that can very often be overlooked. As the expectations and stakes are raised in a trilogy-ending film, the role that each of these characters play becomes that much greater. As the story concludes, it is the hope that things will be revealed in such a way that shocks and surprises at the same time. An all-encompassing approach to giving all the characters of this series key roles in this film makes it that much more memorable. It helps to secure the statement that this is the greatest comic book trilogy movie series. When you can appreciate a film in its entirety many years after its release, you know that it is truly remarkable and a great film. Whether you have read the comics, or have followed this series from the beginning, these are characters that we all have a great level of love and appreciation for. To see these characters come to life on the big screen under Christopher Nolan's direction is truly a dream come true for many Batman fans.
A very important aspect of a Batman film is the role of the villain. What is great about the Batman film that works to Christopher Nolan's advantage is the fact that Batman has a great number of villains. Each of them has very distinct personalities, and that allows Nolan to approach a story in a variety of ways from the villain's perspective. What needs to be mentioned here is that from the beginning of the series until now, every villain has been a very effective part of each film's success. Most notably, however, is the performance of Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. Perhaps you could argue that in Batman Begins, the roles of Liam Neeson and Cillian Murphy may have lacked the diabolical personas that Ledger brought to the The Joker's character. While that could have been improved, the quality of their performances got people excited to see more of Batman in action fighting against his villains in the films to come. Great credit to Nolan's work as a director must be acknowledged for raising the bar in terms of great villains in film with Ledger's performance as The Joker. The film as a whole is exceptional, and arguably the greatest comic book film that has been made. But it was Ledger's performance that simply cemented his character's legacy. His performance is what showed us all the kind of character Batman's arch-rival deserved on the big screen. For years, we all had very fond memories of Jack Nicholson's performance in Batman (1992). However, it is the interpretation of this particular character that really got under Batman's skin and terrified the people of Gotham City. Which leads us to the role of Bane, played by Tom Hardy, in this film. If there was ever a time when you thought that Batman could meet his match, this is where Bane completely met our expectations. While he does not portray the sadistic personality of The Joker, that does not mean that he lacks the diabolical persona to threaten Bruce and Gotham City. He is a force to fear, and Hardy demonstrates that force in great style.
After watching such an incredible series of films that truly make up the best comic book trilogy, it really is hard to believe that this is the last ride for Bale and Nolan on this project. Bale took on his character with such grace and dedication that he raised the bar for being Batman as well. You can never forget the work that Michael Keaton did in the first two Batman films to introduce us to this amazing character, but the work that Bale has done in this trilogy is simply admirable. As Ra's Al Ghul said in Batman Begins, Christian Bale further established the legacy that is Batman's character in film in this trilogy, and you can only feel excitement for what he will do next in his career. With great class, Michael Caine has been the heart and human story of this trilogy as Alfred. He delivers such a captivating and heart-warming performance, that you should also anticipate what he will do next in his career as well. If Commissioner Gordon was hardly present in earlier Batman films, Gary Oldman really brought him to life in this trilogy, and in this film, he put the cherry on top of the cake. Through his character, Oldman's performance inspired us all to find the will in us to always do what is right. Another actor who brought his greatness to his character is Morgan Freeman. He entertained us and surprised us, and you can only hope that he will continue to be a part of comic book films. Nolan has been a true genius in working with a core of people in his crew and cast. However, he does introduce three new actors in this film, and they deliver tremendously. It had been years since we last saw Cat Woman on the big screen, and Anne Hathaway really stole the show. Questionable, fearless, and daring, she has risen the curiosity of Cat Woman once again, and hopefully it is not the last time we say this feline heroine. After previously working with Nolan in Inception, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is an actor that is growing very quickly. His performance in this film inspires and captivates, and if there will ever be more Batman adaptations in the future, the expectation should be for him to be a part of it. Marion Cotillard brought her beauty and brains to her character, and is such an amazing actress that it is really intriguing to see what she will do next. As for Tom Hardy, we all know what to expect from him from here on out. A strong and rising actor, he will entertain crowds for so many years to come. Of course, this amazing trilogy could not have happened without the vision and brilliance of Christopher Nolan. He continues to raise the bar with every film that he does, so it is with anticipation that we should wait and see what he will do next. An admirable and respected salute to him and his crew, and the cast for sharing with us such a phenomenal trilogy that will never be forgotten.

Do all my fellow Wingnuts have their Octopi ready to throw tonight? Sure am hoping for the best, but don't think it's gonna happen. GO WINGS!!!!
Keep It Flying!!! America needs to re-educate people that the Southern Cross, Confederate Battle Flag represents FREEDOM. Not a damn thing to do with slavery. Read Lincoln's letters that states" that if he could keep the UNION together without freeing ONE slave he would". It was all about TAXES. The south was very rich. The UNION wanted an increase in Tariffs at the Ports and it was being rejected by the SOUTH!
STAND your ground.I want people to stop cowering to these groups and the PC. Start calling them on their ignorance of our history.
Do your own research of actual documents. NOT Dept of Educations liberal biased history books.
WAKE UP AMERICA before you wake up on the wrong side of the bed and don't know where you are.

@Jeanie Sorry Bout your Fam! Again I know your statement is wrong when you say everyone that flys the flag is racist. That is a lie.
I will concede that if the flag hurts peoples feelings Right or wrong.... I wont continue to use it.
But again It has nuthing to do with Slavery or Black people , To me
I think your experiences have overshadowed your intellect. Whenever anyone thinks they know how all people of the south or all people of a certain color or all people that eat sushi, think... That is prejudice!
@KIDROCK ANGEL...Jeannie do you truly believe that todays southerners love the rebel flag because of there RACE HATING ATTITUDES. YES I DO...I LIVE IN THE HEART OF ALABAMA BORN AND RAISED HERE SWEETIE AND EVERYONE THAT GIVES A DAMN ABOUT THAT FLAG IS RACIST... I WAS RAISED BY KKK MEMBER MY STEP FATHER AND THAT FLAG REPRESENTS HATE AND HELL TO ME BECAUSE I KNOW THE REAL REASON FOR THE ONES WHO LOVE THE DAMN THING SO MUCH FOR LOVING IT. IT REPRESENTS HATE, VIOLENCE, AND A WHITEMANS TRADEMARK FROM THE WAR THAT WAS LOST AND FREED THOSE SLAVES. THOSE WHO FLY IT DONT FLY IT BECAUSE OF BULLSHIT HERITAGE, OR SOME LINCOLN SHIT...MOST ARENT EVEN SMART ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THAT PART ALL THEY KNOW IS THEY WERE SOUTHERN BORN AND RAISED AND IF THE SOUTH WOULD OF WON THEY WOULD OF HAD IT MADE IT...BLACKS ARE OFFENDED BY THE DAMN FLAG SO DAMN STOP FREAKING FLYING IT...
Please read...this is true!!
The Confederate battle flag has also been appropriated by the Ku Klux Klan and other racist hate groups. Being from the central part of Alabama and being raised by a idiot of the KKK I am very aware of what this flag represents to the racist idiots. Most will argue that it isnt about slavery or hate and its about our heritage and all that bullshit. But I know what it represents this day and time. And those who fight to fly the shit stirring flag know the real reason they fight to fly their hate flag. Well if its about heritage and those who died in that damn war then why the hell do you rednecks fight to keep a flag flying that you claim is your history..Why would you want to fly a flag that represents #1 the south loosing a war and #2 death of your greatgreatgreat whoever that fought and died in the war? WHY? oh wait it falls back to the haters right? If the south would of one won we would of had it made right? Damn Yankees right!!
http://www.lincolnswords.com/ Here you go gyspy and others. Read up. I can link too. Read a lot of them and truly look at all the man said. And if you bothered to read all that your friend didn't post there you would know the rest of it. Lincoln also changed his views about colonization of blacks...Your friend didn't bother to post the rest of it as it would negate their point here is that link: http://hosted2.ap.org/COGRA/APUSnews/Article_2011-03-04-Lincoln%20Coloni...
Gypsy, you have every right to be proud of who you are.
I'm breaking my own rule by adding to the post!
We do need to be tough, North and South, together.
We are One Today; we cannot be divided..
I pledge alleigance to the flag
Of the United States of America
And to the Republic
For which it stands
One Nation, Under God INDIVISIBLE
with LIBERTY and JUSTICE for all.
I think everyone should get a grip. Its time the people in this country stopped wearing their feelings on their shoulders and stop crying over every little damn thing. Its a flag that has a very big part of our american history. It IS NOT something to be shoved away behind closed doors and forgotten about. As much as certain factions in this country are trying to bury it, it will always fly proud and fly high.Are we suppose to just forget our heritage and our past because these certain factions cry over the display of the Confederate Battle Flag? We are branded racist and bigots because we embrace our hertiage and celebrate our past with honor and pride. I say that if these factions think that way towards us then its them that are showing their racist attitudes and bigotry. The South may have lost the war way back when but we are still proud of our heritage and always will be. People in this country have gotten so soft and thin skinned they cry if some one looks at them the wrong way. Grow up people and stop acting like grade school kids on the play ground. Thank you Granny GG for your educational view points and historical value to this discussion. Toughen up people.
Fine by me. I just got a problem when ppl point the finger at the man who made the right move that should have been made by George Washington. Lincoln was a great man. He fought for the underdog. He gave black ppl what they should have had all along and what was taken from them.
Sorry Kid didn't mean to piss on the tour trail. Hope it keeps being great. Maybe i will get to see it at another stop! LOL!!!
>>>says to GRANNY GG- Peace out.
Most of what you have put up there is what a journalist said. I would like to actually see the document in which Lincoln said derogatory things. I told you to google Lincoln and his press and letters. Yet i see nothing of that. You ever think he encouraged them to leave because he knew in the US they would not be treated right? And take a look at who and where this article was published Virginia. You ever think for a red hot minute tensions were not being eased by getting african american's somewhere where they would be safe and free? I encourage anyone on here to google Lincoln and his press and letters and see what the man wrote. Not what some press hound wants to say he wrote. You might also look at who was in the White House with him as well as his Secretary of State. They were ppl all against slavery...
Makes me wonder what this country would be like if not for Lincoln. Makes me wonder how ppl of african american heritage would be treated today. What their place in society would be and so on and so forth....
Makes me think of Cool Hand Luke too. "What we've got here is failure to communicate, some men you just can't reach..."
So i guess your views are black ppl should be slaves huh Granny GG? Not much else can be surmised from your words and statement. Southerners weren't going to change until they were made to. Why would they give up the free labor slaves provided unless forced? That was the root of the Civil War. NOT MONEY! Money was the reason they wanted to keep the slaves. So money was the reasoning but slavery was the real reason. Without slaves those rich southerner folks would be nothing more then farmers who had to pay laborers to do their work. There was no way they could afford to actually pay people to do that work. So money was a major cause i will give you that. I should know this as well my grandfather was a farmer til the day he died. Thank god for farm equipment.
Haven't you seen poor white ppl from the south? Hell just read up on Johnny Cash. He was raised on a farm and had to pick cotton as child and growing up. He came from nothing and i mean nothing.
if i can recall i remember him as a youngster pissed when the flag was banned from a south toledo high school "Home of the Rebels". Of course at the time i was to young to get it or care! But nyways Hes always been about freedom of speech and what not..he didnt just wake up one day last week and decide im gonna fly that son of a bitchin flag and piss em all off today cuz im Kid Rock and have nothin better to do! Sorry Jeannie your comment sucks to say the least!
Jeannie do you truly believe that todays southerners love the rebel flag because of there RACE HATING ATTITUDES. Good lord. I* give up. Everyday Im more and more disgusted with my fellow man
And The American flag stands for freedom to me but Ill bet there are some Al queda peeps who feel differently
@Jeannie says....He is promoting his new country image and that flag is used to get all the country music rednecks to his show....
That's so NOT a new schtick for Kid to drop the rebel flag. Ever see him play Never Met a MotherFucker Quite Like Me in concert a few years ago? He dropped that flag then. Not a new thing. Not a gimmick to get the "rednecks" to the country music shows. Oh yeah, and have you seen a show recently? Not exactly a full on country show. I read a quote this week that has Kid Rock saying that...for him...that flag stands for southern rock. If that's his interpretation, then cool for him for standing behind it. He's not a hater. He's not a racist. He a musician and a damn fine individual all around. Too many people making way too much of his affiliation with the stars and bars.
Kid Rock really doesnt understand what that flag is used for, really he dont....He is promoting his new country image and that flag is used to get all the country music rednecks to his show....He knows they love that flag but he just dont understand why most love it. Regardless of why the flag was the battle flag we in the south know what the flag is a symbol of and why the racist white people use a war battle flag to promote their race hating attitudes I have no clue.....the south lost that damn war so why its so important to those who love it has me confused. So the only thing i can figure is its a hate flag all the way around....So Kid Rock in my opinion needs to go back to his roots and take that damn flag down...
Regardless of what the flag means to you or I, we all have to agree on one thing. Kid has never meant to fly the flag in a way that would be insulting to anyone. He has always shown nothing but love and respect for all people. I hate to see some jackass like Mongo ruin a day for which Kid is to be recognized for all that he has done for his hometown and the people that live there. No matter who you are, how much you do, or how much you give, there will always be someone, somewhere, that is pissed off and runs his or her mouth. If we as fans can do nothing else lets rally behind Kid on May 1st. If you are in the area, show up at Cobo and shut this asshole Mongo up once and for all. I have an idea for a sign, "Hey Mongo, I got one for ya!!!"
with all respect, VideoAce, that's just not true. not for all northerners (although it may be where you are from, I've never been to MI). I'd suggest that the next time you come here to The City ask around to get a different perspective, except that it would be dangerous for you to do that. Hopefully you know me well enough to just trust me when I say that in some Northern spots it is for sure a big deal.

I think if Raheem is still on the staff, Jackson gets"one" more shot in training camp and Carriker is not going anywhere. We just re-signed him this year and he is very good in the 3-4.

My involvement in the visual arts is motivated by my love of Philosophy and the idea that we can gain more access to the mind of the Supreme Being's creative process through the production and understanding of the visual arts.
The idea for this exhibition originated from my interest in exploring the metaphysical and philosophical principles that made Kemet (Egypt as it is now called) one of the most creative and outstanding civilizations of human history.
I have been studying the Metu Neter Volumes by Ra Un Nefer Amen and Egyptian Yoga by Dr. Muata Asby for the last three years and have been tremendously inspired by the spiritual impact of both the historical and philosophical content of these treatises.
As a curator, I wanted to use Kemetic metaphysics and art inspired by Kemet, to share some of these ideas with my international audience and particularly with young black youth in the United States, Britain and the Caribbean, who were overlooking the importance of their rich Kemetian cultural heritage. Two years ago, I started to dialogue with artists of African descent about creating works inspired by Kemetian History and Culture. Some of the artists were already doing work that was influenced by their interest in Kemet. Both Kerry Coppin and Everton Wright had already created a body of photography on Egypt. Asser-Saint-Val was very aware of Diop's work and had produced a large number of pieces about Melanin. I was also introduced to Robin Holder primarily because of her "Karnak Seris." Both Kristie Stephenson and Nzingah are very knowledgeable about Kemetian culture and thus were very interested in working with the concept of the show. Ms. Stephenson's photographic interpretation of herself as Nefertiti is quite powerful and reflects a great of example of the artistic process of channeling. Nzingah's work is also very successful in that context.
I wanted to share the spectacular, "Egyptian" photography of African American artist, Kerry Coppin in a context that would create an opportunity to discuss the significant contributions of our "African" ancestors to the development of Western Civilization. As a result, I designed a show called the "The Future of The Past," that focused on images of the Sphinx, the pyramids and the 25th dynasty.
During the summer of 2010, I had the good fortune to spend a significant amount of time in the Egyptian Collection at the Louvre in Paris and the British Museum in London. I asked Everton Wright, a black British photographer, film maker and sculptor based in London to work on photographing some of the Egyptian collection, especially of the 25th Dynasty at the British Museum. His work lead to his creation of Black Head, Read Head, Taharqa and the Crossings. The Crossings represents a modern interpretation of Kemetian anthropomorphic iconography.
While in London, I curated a show called " Atum Flow" that came directly from my experience of applying some of the ideas that I was gaining from the study of ancient Kemetian History, Art and Culture.
The word Atum derives from the Egyptian notion of God. (The Divine-The Supreme Being). The power of Atum Flow originates from the process of Being creating itself. Atum energy became one of my mantras and I started to engage some of the artist in the show to create work that was inspired specifically by Volume 4 of the Metu Neter Series and Egyptian Yoga. Hence, the title for the show: Atum Energy: Chanelling Kemetic Metaphysics.
What is Kemetic Metaphysics as defined by the context of this show?
Kemetic Metaphysics broadly defined includes the Tree of Life as demonstrated by the Paut Neter, the mystery of melanin, the philosophy of Metu Neter, the story of Isis, Taharqa, Nefertiti and the historical research and writings about Kemet by Cheikh Anta Diop, Ivan Van Sertima, Yosef ben-Jochannan, Asa Hillard, Dr Henrik Clarke, Runoko Rashidi, Na'im Akbar, Martin Bernal, Dr Muata Ashby, Anthony Browder and Dr. Freeman.

Clinton leaves hospital after treatment for clot
WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton was released from a New York hospital Wednesday, three days after doctors discovered a blood clot in her head.
Clinton's medical team advised her Wedneday evening that she was making good progress on all fronts and said they are confident she will fully recover, said Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines. Doctors had been treating Clinton with blood thinners to dissolve a clot in a vein that runs through the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear.
"She's eager to get back to the office," Reines said in a statement, adding that the secretary and her family are grateful for the excellent care she received at New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
When Clinton will return to work will be clarified in the coming days.
Clinton had been in the hospital since Sunday, when doctors discovered the clot during a follow-up exam stemming from a concussion she suffered in December. While at home battling a stomach virus, Clinton had fainted, fallen and struck her head, a spokesman said.
"Grateful my Mom discharged from the hospital and is heading home," daughter Chelsea, wrote on Twitter. "Even more grateful her medical team (is) confident she'll make a full recovery."

A 2010 ESPN special titled "Silly Little Game" highlights the advent of Rotisserie Baseball, a game created during the 1980s by a group of friends and baseball enthusiasts that is now known alternately as "Fantasy Baseball" or "Roto Baseball." The special documentary highlights the elements that went into the original game which, surprisingly, differs very little from the modern version, as well as the fantasy sports phenomenon that this original fantasy game spawned. For those interested in fantasy sports, or thinking about getting in on the action, the ESPN special is a great piece to watch. More relevant for those interested in beginning their sojourn into Roto Baseball are the basics of the game itself.
While there are a great many variations of fantasy baseball, the governing tenets remain the same in virtually all leagues. A group of real-life players, referred to as "owners" in the Roto Baseball context, gather in person or online to draft a mythical team of Major League Baseball players. Thereafter, when the baseball season begins, the same owners compete against one another and win or lose based on the performance of the baseball players they have selected for their fantasy team. Owners are free to add players from a group of free agents, or via the "waiver wire," and to make trades with other owners.
Scoring varies, but in a standard "5×5″ Roto Baseball format, the categories in which statistics are kept include five offensive categories – Batting Average, Home Runs, Runs, RBI and Stolen Bases – and five pitching categories – Wins, ERA, Walks + Hits Per Inning Pitched (WHIP) and Saves. There are also "4×4″ leagues that use only four categories for hitting and pitching, and leagues that use alternate statistics such as On-Base Percentage, Slugging Percentage, etc. For the most part, each of the Roto Baseball games available share most of their rules in common, with adjustments that do not significantly change the game itself.
There are also various formats for Roto Baseball, including "head to head" leagues where owners face another team in their league for a given time period (typically one week) and the traditional "Roto" scoring, » Read more: Rotisserie Baseball is Great Fun

another racer destined for divorce , bet she takes your bike out of spite

Been there done that, on number 3. This one understands my addiction, 15 years and still there. She actually comes to all the races and helps out. Is team Captain for our Summitseries, sells 50-50 tickets and more.Gives mehell if the bike isn't maintained, kicks my ass out to the shop. A rare find indeed!

Simply put a lot of ppl aren't ready to come out and race. I just finish 2 bikes this week that are going to test. I know 4-5 other guys who are still trying to get finished up. In the past years the first couple of events have had low turnouts and as the summer went on they got bigger. It will happen this year.

2ws and Byron need to stop putting promoition dutys on the racers back and take charge and fine a way of doing a better job. Simply put 2ws and byron are a business if you want to grow make it happen!!!!

Twisted, no one from 2WS has made one comment about putting any promotional duties on any racers backs. Our June 4-5 races where suppose to be at the end of August and the track pushed us out for a big money car race. We should have just said drop it, but the racers wanted 10 events. As for your bikes not being ready, last time I checked the calendar has 12 months every year, so spring should be no surprise. Quit waiting until the last minute to build bikes, pi$$ poor time managment.

As for "making it happen" open your eyes. The majority of the racers we spoke with wanted to go back to 10 events ------- so we did.

We jacked and gauranteed payouts in more classes. Who has done that in this crappy economy? Which is costing us big money, not a problem. WTF else do you propose we do MR. marketing wiz? We increased the races and payouts, you always have the quick comments and never any real ideas just complaints. It's real easy to hide behind a keyboard and nevey acutally stick your neck out and try building something like this - why don't YOU make it happen? Wait, too much work...it';s much easier to just rip on those who try.

Edited by: Dan McCarten
I don't know if it was the weather, the poor scheduling, the poor promoting, the poor economy or the price of gas. But I do know that if racers don't show up, our $1000.00 bracket races will go away. Quit crying and get your azzes to the races.
hmmm....like Andy, Kurt, Hosey, Mike M, Howdy and Doody (Abrams), Lance, Bruce F, Bruce D, Cammo Pants, Big guy on ol school kz, Purple bagger guy, Dave M, Dave C, Brevin, John F, Foster Boys, Havanna Guys, Joliet guysother thanDarm and Mccrackin, Wisconsin Guys, Dog, Eddyville guys, Clampit, Tiny bixler boy, Joe K on chalupie, Rick R ect.....

Location: Natural Products Utilization Research
Technical Abstract: Over two-hundred and twenty crude extracts from repositories generated from plants native to Greece and Kazakhstan were evaluated for termiticidal activity against the Formosan subterranean termite species, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki (Isoptera: Rhinotermitidae). Emerging from this screening effort were bioactive extracts from two Greek species (Echinops ritro and Echinops spinosissimus subsp. spinosissimus) and extracts from two Kazakhstan species (Echinops albicaulis and Echinops transiliensis). Fractionation and isolation of constituents from the most active extracts from each of the four species has been completed resulting in the isolation of eight thiophenes possessing varying degrees of termiticidal activity. a-terthienyl (1) and 5'-(3-buten-1-ynyl)-2,2'-bithiophen (4) demonstrated 100 ± 0 percent mortality against C. formosanus within 9 days at 1 and 2 percent (wt/wt) concentrations, respectively. Additionally, all but two of the compounds tested were significantly different from the solvent controls in the filter paper consumption bioassay.
