From Vancouver to 'Smallville': Six questions with Bryan Q. Miller
Thirty-six questions. Six answers. One random number generator. Welcome to Robot Roulette, where creators roll the virtual dice and answer our questions about their lives, careers, interests and more.
Joining us today is Bryan Q. Miller, who you know from Arrow, Smallville (both the TV show and the comic), Batgirl, Teen Titans and Earthward.
Now let's get to it …
2. What was the last good book (not comics) that you read?
The Girl Who Would Be King by Kelly Thompson. Represent!
(but, for serious, it's pretty damned good and you should go read it)
7. What is the strangest thing you have in your house?
Our only regret is that Ross didn't have MORE of these.
16. What's the best part of being a creator?
I think the quick shoot-from-the-hip answer is "Getting paid to use your imagination!" The deeper answer is being able to meet-slash-interact with people who consume your product, whether that be from the TV side or the comics side. There's naturally some negativity you sign yourself up for by making yourself available, but I do genuinely enjoy getting to know folks that take the time to read and watch the things that I write.
21. Who has been the biggest help or motivator in your career?
The entire writing staff when I started as an intern on Smallville gets all the credit for helping me find my bearings in the very alien and intimidating world of television. It was a very welcoming, safe environment in which to just LEARN about how everything worked. It's my goal to take the spirit of education from that place and carry it with me to whatever other places I have the fortune of working in the future. Much love and respect.
24. What did you dress up as the last time you dressed in a costume (whether that's Halloween, a convention, or wherever)?
The last time I played dress up with any amount of effort was for a Halloween party a few years ago — the wife and I went as mad scientists, lab coats, wigs and all. Crack-em glow sticks as vials of formula, etc. We were, sadly, the only people to insist on being "in character" for the entirety of the party.
28. Based on where you live right now, what's the farthest you've ever been from home, and why did you go there?
Having the ability and means to travel has coincided in life with not having the time to travel, so we don't get to much. I think the farthest I've gone in my adult life was on an anniversary trip to a wee little island in the Caribbean. I've been to a few different Canadian ports of call, too, for production reasons. Love Vancouver, hardcore.

Yellow Crates are commonly found in cities or near in-game structures. They are currently bugged and will commonly be empty when opened. Standing next to the crate for about 5 seconds before opening it seems to greatly increase the chance of items being inside.

If Steve Jobs announced that iOS 4.2 would be coming to iPhone during his keynote a the special music event yesterday, I missed it, but that's what Apple.com's new preview page says:
Look for iOS 4.2 coming in November for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.1
(That footnote reads "not compatible with all models" so likely iPhone 2G and iPod touch G1 miss out again).
What will distinguish iOS 4.2 on iPhone from iOS 4.1? Only a few things leap out at me:
Wireless printing, so we can shoot docs from our iOS device to a receptive paper printer. (Not word on compatibility requirements yet though).
AirPlay, which takes AirTunes to another level with streaming video and pictures, and should let us beam content from iPhone or iPod touch to the new Apple TV. (Perfect to take a movie to friends or family).
Find text on web page, finally. In Safari, easily search for and highlight specific words and phrases.
Most importantly, does this mean we'll finally see Grand Unification of iOS in our lifetimes? Have the forces of fracture failed? Developers will hopefully find out soon. Consumers get it in November.

Carnival is set to release third-quarter figures on Tuesday 23 September, when adjusted earnings-per-share are expected to come in at $1.432. Sales are set to rise from $3.633 billion up to $4.932 billion. The third quarter is also expected to see the company post pre-tax profits of $1.124 billion.
The first of the driving reasons why the shares have performed well has been the resurgence in demand for cruise holidays; both current and future bookings have increased, meaning companies such as Carnival are already seeing good figures for their 2015 books. There is a geographical bent on this improving demand, leaning towards European cruises rather than the Caribbean. A perceived greater value to tourists cruising around the Mediterranean, due to the strength of the US dollar against the euro, could well a key contributor here.
The other major area of improvement here is cost, as weak oil prices have helped keep the running costs of ships under control.
The success of companies such as Saga has highlighted the shifting age demographics of tourists, as the target market has expanded. With P&O covering the middle market and Cunard covering the premium clients, Carnival is well placed for continuing growth.

Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin - Cheap Thrills 180g Vinyl LP Mono
Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin Cheap Thrills 180g Vinyl LP Mono
One of the most eagerly anticipated as well as most successful releases of 1968, Cheap Thrills finds Janis Joplin once again alongside Big Brother And The Holding Company on what was her major-label debut and last with the band. The record made Joplin a star and remains a central touchstone for 60's psychedelia and blues rock. Shooting straight to #1 and achieving gold status within months, Cheap Thrills not only had the hits in "Piece Of My Heart" and "Summertime," but it also happened to sport one of the most famous covers of all-time with Robert Crumb's pop-art album design.
This 180g audiophile reproduction of the original LP from Legacy Recordings has been sourced from the original mono master and comes housed in a gatefold jacket meticulously recreated from the original album art and featuring the original track-listing.
Janis Joplin Cheap Thrills Track Listing:
1. Combination of the Two
2. I Need A Man to Love
3. Summertime
4. Piece Of My Heart
5. Turtle Blues
6. Oh, Sweet Mary
7. Ball & Chain

Something there is that doesn't love a [box]," said the poet ... or words to that effect. "Square" has a similar problem.
"The box gets a bad rap," said my friend Paul on the phone the other night.
His lament was based on the phrase "thinking outside the box," which he had been pondering. "Box" seems to be "square" cubed, a volume of status quo, even discreativity.
"What is that all about?" Paul said. "Myself, I can't bear to throw away a box. They're full of too much potential."
I understand what he means. Corners of my house are stacked with an assortment of boxes too good to cast off: card boxes, candy tins, book mailers, matchboxes. Boxes within boxes. I can't part with them, even if I don't immediately know what to do with them. They are vessels. They will contain something; their usefulness is not at an end just because they are, for the time being, empty. A box is open to usefulness, attending usefulness, waiting to have usefulness thrust upon it. An empty box is full of expectation.
For years I have enjoyed recycling old wood into new boxes. For instance, an old oak desk abandoned in the basement of our house. The solid oak was beautifully grained, if marred. But it had a history and value beyond wood. Unknown, but imaginable, people had used the desk. One could ponder the letters written, contracts signed on its surface, the conversations held across its level top. It was calling out for new life. So I sawed up the wood and made several nice boxes for presents to family members.
Once I used the cabinetry of an old upright piano that I found languishing curbside one trash day. Its mahogany veneer was intact, even if the innards could no longer carry a tune. With a little persuasion from a crowbar, I went home with materials for a lovely box. It now houses my sister's bridal bouquet and tells more stories than could a piece of new mahogany: piano to trash to bouquet case. What fortunate wood.
Boxes contain ideas. They highlight them, frame them, safeguard them. Thinking outside the box may, in fact, be like "playing tennis with the net down," as Robert Frost said in his indictment of free verse. A box, however, actually stimulates invention. Confines can add focus.
A recent case in point: the parent at my school who donated hundreds of little white cardboard boxes. A photographer, his images come back to him from the lab as slides in perfect little white cubes. He couldn't bear to throw them away, but storage was becoming a problem. An elementary school like mine thrives on such treasure. And so Pax, our art teacher, shifted into high gear, putting simple ingredients to work transforming the two-inch boxes into elegant, jeweled containers. Tissue paper and magazine photos, postage stamps, miniature figures, buttons.... All kinds of debris lurking in pockets and drawers found its way into the box-gluing process. The humble boxes are now objets d'art.
Then along came Tish with miniature books. Tish is the reading teacher.
"I have just learned how to make the world's quickest book," she said, unfolding a two-inch packet that articulated itself like an accordion into a small chapbook.
The grandparent of one of her students had passed on the technique. By using some cloth tape, a strip of paper folded a few times, glue, and some cardboard, she produced a wonderfully versatile blank book. Ready for drawings, paintings, writings - but a beautiful object in and of itself.
"I'm going to have my class make these," she said gleefully.
Books. Boxes. Ingenuity struck again. Soon the little boxes were opening into little chapbooks, with the potential for more: A short text could unfold out of the box with room left over for three-dimensional installations. A mini-book report, complete with diorama from the book? A tableau of characters, scenes, and objects from the narrative could be installed neatly within the confines of eight cubic inches. A box, let's not forget, is a volume.
Today the conversation widened to include four teachers, marveling at the possibilities suggested by the little box and the little book.
"Why don't we package the package?" said Nada, the third-grade teacher. "We could come up with 10 uses of these little boxes and make a kit: box, tissue paper, and glue, 10 ideas for $1.50. Sell them at the Christmas fair."
That's a lot of content per cubic inch from the humble box. The mere box. Is it any wonder? A box is a thing of beauty in and of itself: concise, symmetrical, orderly, simultaneously definite and indefinite. Thus, thinking inside the box is awaiting the movement of the imagination on waters within a space already prepared for occupation.
Thinking inside the box is a standpoint. Thinking outside the box might just be a mere view.

A Little Known Waterfront Gem with Only a 1/4 mile to Go
This scenic trail winds its way high above Long Creek for about 3/4 of a mile through enormous maples and oaks and currently ends at a point at the water's edge with lovely views of a nearby cove. The opposite shore, under the pine trees, is an important traditional Abanaki meeting site called The Smoking Tree. This spot was used in the 17th century as a place to negotiate important treaties between early English settlers and local Native Americans.

The USGS Water Science School
Many sewer lines are constructed next to streams to take advantage of the continuous, gradual slopes of stream valleys. Blockages, inadequate carrying capacity, leaking pipes, and power outages at pumping stations often lead to sewage overflows into nearby streams. There are three types of sewer systems:
This picture of a sanitary sewage overflow illustrates a common problem concerning sewage overflows that occur in urban areas. This overflow happened in Sept. 2009 during historic flooding in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Sanitary sewer overflows occur when sewer pipes clog or pumping stations break down. As shown here, mixed sewage and rainfall runoff overflows from manholes and leaking pipes into nearby streams rather than backing up into homes and businesses.
Combined sewer overflows occur during storms when there is more stormwater flowing than the pipes leading to a treatment plant can handle. The excess runoff flushes human and industrial wastes, oil, toxic metals, pesticides, and litter into streams.

As you probably already know, Picnik's days are numbered. The popular photo editing website, which was purchased by Google, is going under on April 19th, 2012.
Some of the features found in Picnik have made their way to the Google+ Creative Kit Google+ Adds Free Photo Editing Suite [News] Google+ Adds Free Photo Editing Suite [News] Social networks rely on photos as a means of communication. Where have you been? What have you been doing? Who are you with? Now Google+ users can now look a little better doing whatever with... Read More , but this requires that users start a Google+ account. That hasn't gone over well with everyone. To the critics, I bring good news – members of the Picnik team have reformed to create a new site – and it's looking awesome.
Introducing PicMonkey
The spiritual successor to Picnik has been given the name PicMonkey. It doesn't roll off the tongue quite as well, but hey, there are only so many URLs still available. As you'd expect, it is a free service that lets you edit photos online.
Using the site is simple. There are four thumbnails on the main page. Three are standard images you can use to try out PicMonkey's features and the fourth is a blank thumbnail. You can drag-and-drop a photo over the blank thumbnail to start editing. There is no registration required to edit or save photos. In fact, so far as I could find, registration isn't even an option.
Editing Features
Once you've opened an image in PicMonkey you'll be introduced to the editing window. All of the menu options are kept in a menu bar to the left.
The basic editing features are what you'd expect. You can crop, rotate, sharpen and resize photos. Adjusting exposure and color and is possible, as well, and these features include automatic adjustments that can be used to quickly improve a photo's image quality.
These are far from the only features. Clicking on the icons in the menu bar will introduce you to other categories including effects, touch up, text, overlays and borders.
Users eager to see all of Picnik's functionality replicated in another service will be disappointed – for now. At the moment the new site includes a small selection of stickers (found in the overlays section) and offers a limited number of borders and touch-up options. With that said, the options available do exceed what is currently available in the Google+ Creative Kit.
Patience should pay dividends. PicMonkey's site specifically says "we're gonna keep adding more features and more tools and not stop until you scream and say 'Holy Macarena, people, go home and get a life because you've done. It. All!'"
Big words for a new site, but they've walked this road before.
Speed was one of the reasons for Picnik's success. Though it ran in a browser, it felt as responsive as traditional photo editing software. This helped erase any reservations potential users had about the service.
PicMonkey is no different. Effects are applied to photos almost instantly and the menu, which has been simplified, feels even more responsive. Even photos with file sizes between 2 and 4 megabytes were no trouble, though the site does recommend such photos be reduced in size for optimal performance.
The Future Is Paid
All the features are currently free. However, some features are marked by a small crown logo. The first time you use these you will be presented with a prompt that tells you the feature will be part of a premium subscription, but right now it is being made available for free.
PicMonkey will eventually offer a subscription service just like Picnik. This shouldn't surprise anyone. This business model has worked before and it allows the site to remain free of the advertisements which might reduce the space available to editing or slow performance.
Pricing has yet to be set. In fact, there's not even an announced release date for the premium service. PicMonkey has only been live for a short time so it may be several months before they are able to implement the subscription.
Anyone who loved Picnik will love PicMonkey. The team working on the new site has but effort into further streamlining the interface, but the basics are the same. You'll find the same features, the same performance and (eventually) the same revenue model.
There are a lot of alternatives to Picnik The 3 Best Alternatives To The Picnik Photo Editing Tools The 3 Best Alternatives To The Picnik Photo Editing Tools We recently reported that Picnik will be closing on April 19th. The demise of the popular online photo-editing service has been met with scorn from fans, who are unhappy with Google's decision to kill one... Read More available, but this site is the only one that's being worked on by former members of the Picnik development team. Play around with it and then let us know in the comments what you think. Would you be willing to consider paying a subscription when they move to a paid model?

Im hoping for an iphone / ipad app. Its more than worthy.
I m goin to pay easily another 10 to 20 buck for the PIKNIK 2.0 i call it.
i love the new ! PIK or PIC MONKEY i just love it!!!!
omg. just need some feature like nip n tuck,for us girls wit a lil bulge in the small waist area LOL or some guys too. but all other features rock!
thank you PIC MONKEY!
i still miss/ used to piknik BUT the guys here at PIC OR PIK MONKEY is almost alike.
worth buying.
for the year or so.
I used PicNic a lot and was sad to hear it was ending. I am glad to have found PicMonkey!
If you're looking to make a photo collage out of your PicMonkey edits, try Picisto.
MakeUseOf wrote about it here: http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/picisto-make-your-own-photo-collage-with-15-layouts-to-choose-from-web/
It didn't work by me,
I want picnick back ;( I hope it works tomorrow..
It didn't work by me :(
Can someone please HELP ME! If anyone knows any apps for ipad/iphone/ipod (apple store) that is like picmonkey and picnik, could they let me know!! i REALLY want the editing stuff like, teeth whitening, tan, wrinkle remover ect.. please let me know!! If you do know.. please email me 'email@example.com'
How do I put this on my picasa? Do I have to go on the website and go through the whole procedure every time I do a picture? Picnik was on my picasa site. How can I do this. I tried over and over and I don't know how to do this. Can you help?
I'm loving this new version of picnik. It was much easier to handle things. And I think it's best to leave it, even free, because not everyone can afford. Parabêns the picmonkey is perfect.
So sorry to see Picnik go. I used it ALL the time and loved it! However, I just tried PicMonkey and am crazy about it! Way to guy Picnik guys!
How do you download it to your site? Picnik was on my picasa. I don't know how to do it?
I did whatever it said. I have to go to my documents and then try and find the picture and then put it on Picasa. It takes so many steps.
Thank you! I think this will end up being even better than Picnik! It is so user friendly. Google + stinks!
I love PicMonkey! The staff, esp Brenda who's on flickr answering questions the whole time, is wonderful. It is better and with cooler effects than Picnik even, and it is far far faster. I actually see the closing of Picnik as a blessing in disguise - without it I would not have discovered this fantastic new monkey. It feels new, modern, full of possibilities and with a staff that actually treats their crowd (and potential customers) as adults. I would pay from tomorrow and it would be worth a lot to me.
First of all, thank you for this great article. I was a devoted Picnik user for many years. When I heard that it was closing shop this month, I was really bummed. I was reading the FAQ's and one of the sites they recommend is PicMonkey. I tried this site out and I LOVE it! It has all the same features, and then some, that Picnik has/had. I love the simplicity of it and I would definitely pay to be a premium member, although I hope it's comparable to what Picnik had charged.
I look forward to PicMonkey enhancing their site with collage features and the ability to create a history of uploaded photos. That will all probably happen once they allow people to create a profile on their site.
I recommend this site to anyone who loved Picnik. There are a ton of photo editing sites out there, but I find that a majority of them are not very user friendly and can be complicated in one way or another.
I was very sad when I heard Picnik was going away, I used it all the time for my blog! I just found PicMonkey today, and I LOVE it! Will definitely be using it in the future!
Hells yes, I would pay for Picmonkey. Considering how expensive massive photo editing programs like Photoshop are, for someone using photography as a secondary tool for a creative business, it's perfect.
Sorry to see picnik go, BUT Monkey is gonna be even better ! Just been having a play and it is amazing, great applications and so easy to use. Google Shmooglepoo!!! Their loss!!!!!!! Well done guys,thanks and best wishes...
Will miss Piknik.. but will love PicMonkey insted..
Have tryed it and bookmarked it in my computer...
Satisfied... its easy... Thanks..
Looking forward to more new stuff, hope it will still be free to use!
Looks like Flickr is now using Aviary for their photo editing. I'd rather stick with an in-app application, rather than take my images to a different program.
You made my day! I'm so happy with this follow-up of Picnik!
Thought my photo editing days were over when picnik went to google....I couldnt be happier to have found picmonkey...Looking forward to seeing all the new features coming from the monkey. :) Cant wait to get started!!
I was so happy to find picmonkey!! It's great. I wondered how I could edit my photos in the future without having to go through Google+ which I found irritating! Now I can edit the same way as before :-) Happy

No Expiration Date
Every home we've moved into since we have been married, has had an expiration date. Each home was temporary and merely a stepping-stone to reach an ultimate goal, to serve in the Philippines and assist church planters and translation work. Now we are finally living in a home that has no expiration date as we hope to serve here for many years!
For the last several months, we have been in transition. We recently completed our formal culture and language study, packed up our house, and moved to an entirely different island. After waiting for several weeks of repairs, we are finally settling in our new home and are excited to not be living out of a suitcase!
Right now, I'm (Curt) busy preparing for my upcoming classes that I will teach at Faith International Academy. Kristin and Sadie are making friends and learning to function in our new community. As we have been getting to know various missionaries in our area, we are encouraged and feel privileged to support them in their ministry by providing an education to their children.
As we reminisce over the past five years, we can see God faithfully guiding and leading us to where we are now. Thank you for your support and prayers over the years. We are so thankful to be here serving the body of Christ. We look forward to what the Lord will do in 2017 and hope you have a Merry Christmas!

I have an external hard drive set up for backing up with Time Machine on my Mac. It has been working well. Now when time machine tries to back up it tells me the external disk is read only. The hard drive does mount to the computer and will let me open the Time Machine folder. When I am in disk utility it also sees the external hard drive but will not let me click on repair disk permissions. Under the drive info's sharing & permissions window it said " You can only read." , After unlocking everything is grayed out, but the permission is set to read & write. Any thoughts on how to get this drive back to read and write? Its a 2TB drive with 1.79TB on disk. The drive has not been ever used on a windows machine or use on any other computer and is use only for Time Machine backups. One day it was read/write next day read only. Thanks!
Have a look at the article link below -
Solving The "Read Only" External Hard Drive Problem On Your Mac
Repair permission within Disk Utility only works for your boot drive (where OS X is installed). That is intended behavior.
See if it is a permission issue:
1. right-click "Get Info" on the drive
2. click the lock symbol at the bottom right of the info window (you will be prompted for your password)
3. check "Ignore ownership on this volume"
the second option would be to fully unlock the drive
1. open up a terminal Window
type "sudo chflags nouchg /Volumes/external_drive"
type "sudo chown shortname:staff /Volumes/external_drive"
type "sudo chmod 777 /Volumes/external_drive"
replace shortname with the name used for your homefolder, replace "external_drive" with the name of your external drive
Applications --> Utilities --> Disk Utility. select the drive you want to fix:
click on the "X" drive, then on the button Repair Disk Permissions
It doesn't sound like a permissions problem, but a mounting problem; the drive itself is probably being mounted as read-only. Check /etc/fstab to see if this is the case. You may need to use vifs to edit your fstab file to make it mount the drive as read/write. Or you could manually umount the drive and then mount it with the correct rw mode. Check your man pages for the exact syntax to use.
Thanks Bruce and everyone else that responded. The problem finally corrected itself.

A dream come true for Max and his family
Little Max Wenman's story is one that is well known throughout Co Longford and beyond.
Diagnosed with neuroblastoma at just two years of age Max, son of Cathy Bermingham and Roy Wenman, underwent more than a year of rigorous treatment to try fight the disease.
At the end of last year, the family's happiness was contagious, as the good news spread that Little Max was given the all clear.
Now, just a few short months on, the young boy has been able to realise his dream of meeting Mickey Mouse, all thanks to the local 'Kids Paradise Dream Come True' initiative.
Started in 2013 by the owner of Kids Paradise Créche and Montessori School, Elizabeth Yorke, and her daughter Serena, the initiative enables families to experience the holiday of a lifetime.
Nominated for the trip last year, Max was too unwell to be chosen. This year, however, he is fighting fit, and was able to experience Florida and all it has to offer, including Disney World, with his loving family.
On June 10, Max, his parents and his siblings; Robyn, Chloe, Jamie, Killian and Millie, took off on their once-in-a-lifetime holiday, taking in all the sights, and visiting theme parks.
Speaking after the family had returned from the trip, Max's mother Cathy stated that Elizabeth had thought of everything, saying "she made sure we didn't have a worry in the world".
"It was brilliant," Cathy happily reported. "It was good for all of us to go together. We had a ball!"
Grateful for the experience, Cathy was keen to express her gratitude to all who helped. "Thank you to anyone who fundraised over the last year for our family," she added.
Cathy explained that she could not praise Elizabeth enough. Indeed, though she didn't travel with the family, the founder of the initiative had set out an itinerary for them, which meant that they got to see everything, but also had some much needed downtime. Cathy also added that when the family got to the house, it had been fully stocked with food and toiletries.
According to Cathy, Max had an incredible time, and even got to meet Mickey Mouse.
Though Cathy admitted to feeling sad when returning home, there is no doubt that the events that followed kept the family in high spirits.
Having celebrated his fourth birthday two days after coming home, Max later had a return visit to Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin, where his progress prompted the decision that he only needs check-ups every four months, compared to every three.

I believe in darkness. I believe in darkness because I have been inside of it. It is colder and more unfriendly from inside than it is from outside. It surrounds me, chokes me, beats me, strips me, and eventually I escape from darkness… but only for a while. There is no avoiding darkness; I can't see darkness in my path until I am already inside of it. Then I can do nothing but struggle to escape, to emerge on the other side without falling. I have seen darkness as I have watched others on their paths. They cannot see it either, until it is upon them. It swallows them like it swallows me. Some come out the other side, others disappear into the darkness. I have learned from darkness, but only from outside its cold grasp. Darkness hurts, but hurt will heal.
20 years old is a hard time to find yourself in darkness. That is when I had my first experience with thick black darkness that strangles and chokes and suffocates. I had a sudden epiphany that I did not know what I believed about God, truth, goodness, right, or wrong. All that I had done up until that point had been motivated by a belief that I now wasn't sure I had. As I pondered my horrible epiphany I felt the darkness gather. It swarmed me. It rushed in my mouth and muffled my screams, and there it stayed, all around me, for a long time. It pressed upon me to keep me from waking up in the morning. It struggled against my every effort to work, to be productive, to help others. It pulled at me as if begging me to succomb. I would not, could not let darkness win. I fought. Days turned to weeks as I fought. As I fought I began to find myself. I could see that I was beginning to truly understand what I believed deep down about God, truth, goodness, right, and wrong. I was emerging from the darkness. My beliefs were mine, no one else's! The thick black slowly turned to a foggy grey. I was seeing more clearly. I emerged from the darkness! Blinded by the darkness I was unable to see, but now standing in the light it was clear to me: I had become stronger, better, closer to what I want to be!
Darkness can motivate me to break the layers of insincerity, indifference, and weakness in which I am encased. Fighting darkness has made me better. I cannot see the darkness that lies ahead of me, but I know it is there. I am sure that it will strangle me, beat me, and bring me down. But I will fight. I will emerge better, cleaner, and closer to what I want to be. I believe in darkness.

Zaid Sabah and Glen Carey
Tuesday, 12 February 2013 09:41 AM
Ali Haidar, Syria's minister for national reconciliation, is willing to meet Moaz al-Khatib "in any foreign city where I can go in order to discuss preparations for a national dialogue," the British-based Guardian newspaper cited Haidar as saying.
Four days earlier, Information Minister Omran al-Zoubi said the government would hold talks if the opposition abandons weapons and sets no pre-conditions.
Al-Khatib renewed his offer of dialogue Monday with the government of President Bashar al-Assad, saying he's prepared to hold the meetings in rebel-held areas in northern Syria. Talks should focus on finding a way for Assad to leave power to prevent "more death and destruction," al-Khatib said on his Facebook page.
More than 60,000 people have died in the conflict that started in March 2011, according to the United Nations, as forces loyal to Assad fight rebels who are seeking an end to his family's rule. Electricity rationing has worsened as the fighting disrupts supplies and prevents repairs to damaged infrastructure, while fuel is also in short supply.
Al-Khatib said earlier this month that he was open to a dialogue with members of Assad's government subject to conditions, including the release of 160,000 detainees.
He said at the time he was ready to meet Assad's deputy, Farouk al- Shara, because since the start of the crisis he "has seen that things were going in the wrong direction."
Airport Captured
More than 3,000 Syrian refugees cross into Jordan every day, the World Health Organization said in e-mailed statement. Shortage of medicines is becoming critical, the WHO said.
Rebels including the Islamist Al-Nusra Front Monday captured the Jarah military airport in Aleppo province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said in an email Tuesday. The rebels captured 40 government soldiers and seized heavy machine- guns and ammunition at base, the group said.
Video footage posted on YouTube showed hangars containing several jet fighters. The authenticity of the video couldn't be verified. The British-based opposition group said Monday that the rebels took control of the al-Furat Dam on the Euphrates.
Attacks against the power infrastructure have cost the Syrian economy 218 billion pounds ($3.1 billion), the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency said, citing Electricity Minister Imad Khamis. Fighting has killed 81 workers in the electricity industry, while 175 have been injured, it said.
An explosion on a minibus with a Syrian license plate killed 14 people at a Turkish border crossing with Syria Monday, according to Turkish state television. The blast occurred at the Cilvegozu border point in an area where humanitarian aid supplies were distributed, it said.

INDIANAPOLIS - San Diego intercepted Peyton Manning four times, returning two for scores, and Mike Tolbert scored on a 3-yard run as the Chargers beat Indianapolis, 36-14, on Sunday night.
The Chargers (6-5) won their fourth straight and remained one game behind Kansas City in the AFC West race.
Indianapolis (6-5) lost for the second straight week - and for only the second time in their last 21 home games - but is still tied with Jacksonville atop the AFC South.
This was no typical night for the Colts.
Manning finished 31-of-48 for 285 yards with two TDs but was picked off four times for the third time in his career. He has now thrown seven interceptions in two weeks for the first time in his 13-year career.

If you are talking about the Confederate flag, then YES, it is very offensive! I cannot stand anyone who would even think to wave this flag around! The flag represents racial discrimination and it always will. Even though we've come far from that, the meaning is still there and I find it to be very offensive.
No matter what you say, the Civil War is at least in part based upon the issues of slavery. The Confederate States represents the hate towards an entire people and whether or not thats what it means to you, it is what it means to thousands if not millions of people. Don't trounce the flag around thinking its just a symbol, because it is a symbol of hate.
It shouldn't be, many people associate it with racism and slavery but that really doesn't give the whole picture as to what the flag represents. It is first and foremost a part of the South's history. I could also go into the reasons for the war that were not directly related to slavery. In any case, I am sure most southerners see it as a sign of Southern pride. If it offends you that is your problem and not a right to infringe on someone else's rights.
Not being sensitive to the fact that the flag was made for the south who believed in slavery is inconsiderate. It doesn't mean you're a rebel at all. The south wanted to keep their slaves and a lot of slaves were treated worse than there own owners animals. If people want to have a "rebel" flag then they need to make their own.
It's offensive because of the ideals and history behind the Confederate flag. It represents all the ideals of the Confederate States of America. By proxy, it represents slavery, which you might not recognize as not being a) popular anymore b) in line with human rights and c) anything but atrocious. Secondly, it represents the Civil War, and also by proxy an inability to let the past go. The South lost and never had any chance to win the Civil War.
It also represents the willful ignorance of Neo-Confederates. While they argue about the "tyranny of the North", they willfully ignore that the Confederate government was a joke. Its authority was limitless. Its constitution was the exact same as the United States with certain words changed. Slavery was of course better defined and protected. The South never had an effective congress and became basically one man: Jefferson Davis. No supreme court was ever established, reducing citizens' protection from the government. The country fighting for states rights was oddly the one with the fewest states rights.
It's offensive for the same reason the swastika is offensive; it's so heavily attached to antisemitism that it doesn't matter anymore that it used to be a symbol for good luck. The same happens with the Confederate flag and its ties to slavery, except that the Confederacy flag never represented any noble ideas.
The flag of the confederacy represents an illegal insurrection against the national government to which each state voluntarily surrendered sovereignty. Some proclaim loudly that succession was not about slavery. That is unconvincing since, without a doubt, there would never have been succession or a CSA without the evil institution of slavery. Folks can feel proud of whatever they like, I suppose, but when a a symbol has taken on the representation of evil in the minds of so many people, it's simply wrong to shove it down peoples' throats in the interest of personal "southern pride". No German should display a Nazi flag as part of Germany's heritage, and no loyal American should fly the symbol of insurrection and rebellion that cost so much needlessly to preserve an evil institution that was already doomed.
Agreed. And let's be honest here. People who fly the rebel flag on their cars or their houses or whatever are not just showing pride for their Southern roots. It's become much more; a symbol of racism and hatred, one that I can only imagine is offensive to those whose ancestors were enslaved, beaten and killed. I know for a fact that most Northerners are offended by it; we fought a war against slavery, won that war, and people who fly the rebel flag are saying "Ha, we STILL don't care about your freedoms for everyone." The rebel flag indicates a person who can't accept the way things are and has to return to his hateful ways.
No? I didn't think so. If someone walks around with a swastika on their person in the form of a tattoo or clothing items, we would not believe them if they said they are not racist, but are just proud of their German grandfather who fought for Germany in WWII. I realize the crimes of the South are not as overtly heinous as the Nazi genocide of the Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, etc., but slavery IS on par with everything the Nazi party did leading up to genocide, from forcing Jews to live in slums to throwing them into forced labor camps. In the same way the swastika is forever tied to the horrors Nazi Germany perpetuated in Europe, the Rebel flag is a painful reminder of the horrors of slavery and the racism African Americans are still trying to overcome today.
It's a flag of an enemy country that rebelled against the US and attempted to take it over. I don't see South Korean flags flying in North Korea or vice versa, which is nearly the same situation. I find it offensive because flying flags other than own is not very patriotic and flying an enemy flag that rebelled against the US is pure hatred and treason.
I'm an Immigrant, just like any other American. I came in 2003. I lived in many states and got to know much of the U.S. Culture after travelling and studying in different universities, where I received my mater's degree in one of them. I ended up living in California. There is a white guy in our neighborhood who has a huge pic up truck with a big confederate flag attached to it. I feel threatened every time he drives by our house and I don't appreciate the way he looks at Hispanics, blacks, or Asians. I really would like to have a conversation with him and see why this flat is attached to his truck instead of the American flag. I still don't have the guts to do it.
No I don't see this flag as offensive. I live in a little town where everyone flies the flag. None of us think about it as a racist symbol. We fly it as part of our southern pride. There are many African Americans that fly the flag as well. The civil war wasn't started over slavery therefore the flag isn't a reminder of it. Anyone who looks at is as racists needs to go back to high school and actually pay attention in history class.
I don't know why after 150 years it is all of a sudden offensive. To me it is a reminder of the lives lost in the south...but.......being the south wanted slavery not just for them but for the entire country...I can see how it can be a reminder of the people who saw nothing wrong with owning black humans which is inhumane. They treated their horses better than they treated their slaves.
No, the rebel flag itself is not offensive. There are people who choose to make a big deal out of it and give it meanings that it really doesn't have. Most people who display the rebel flag do it without any real knowledge of what the flag once meant. The people who display the rebel flag now days are using it as a "redneck" symbol. The rebel flag now days is a symbol for a redneck, beer drinking southern boy, nothing more.
Anybody who thinks this flag is a symbol of hatred or racism obviously needs to go back to high school and pay attention. It is a symbol of the southern pride. The flag was flown during the growth of America and should remain flying. People in town fly this flag and always will even the colored folk that live here. Banning this flag is banning a huge part of American history and to some folk is almost like banning the American flag. I will remain flying this flag and so shall my children after me!
After doing much research on the South and separatist identities it has become clear to me that the Confederate flag actually represents firstly, Southern independence, secondly, regional pride, and contemporarily, commemorating the Confederate military and many lost veterans. Unlike other parts of the country, the South's history of being semi-isolated has led to a large portion of southerners having direct links to their ancestry who had lived and/or fought through the war. The war was started because of rebellion and secession, unfortunately, not because of slavery. That was after the fact. Those sporting the Confederate flag as a means for racist or bigoted agendas are perverting its significance for a large population of the country who see it as part of their history.
The Rebel flag is not for slavery it is for states rights which involve slavery but that is not what it is about it is saying that the states should have their own rights with the stars representing the original 13 colonies which had their own rights therefore it is not racist or prejudice so please don't judge
It's none of your business why people fly this flag. You're not perfect enough to worry about other people. There are a ton of reasons that educated people should be offended right now... And a flag isn't even in the top 100. You people get all riled up over simple things and are apathetic over the things that matter.
The current flag flew in the 50' and 60's does that make it racist? It flew when we put Japanese people in essentially POW camps in WWII ... Talk about slavery, when the union won did they not essentially have slave labor in the factories of which if you were injured you were fired and worth nothing... While getting paid about nothing.
Even if the flag does represent slavery, its a part of our history as a nation and we should all be proud of iy whether you agree with it or not. We have made some mistakes in the past but we are still the best country on the planet. Also there are things in our culture today that are way more offensive than a flag.
Well I hope so. To many the rebel flag is seen as a redneck symbol for "I hate blacks." To some I suppose it is, but to a majority of people it simply represents a love for their homeland. I think the south is beautiful personally. (So are the north, east, and west!) To me the rebel flag says "I'm a southerner and I like that- I'm proud to show it." I wish it could be seen as just as normal as Yankees or Gators or other symbols that people happily proclaim they like. I wish that having a rebel flag on your car didn't make you a racist. I love the south AND african americans- is that hard to believe? It really shouldn't be.. Well to each his own but I say the confederate and American flags can fly together peacefully because I love America as a whole and specifically I love my sweet home in the south equally.

This story was updated Friday evening with comments from NU Hillel executive director Michael Simon.
About 20 students walked out on a pro-Israel lecture, a program hosted Thursday by Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America and NU Hillel, in protest of the speaker's "biased approach" and "belittlement" of NU students, according to representatives from Students for Justice in Palestine.
The event, "63 Reasons to Like Israel," featured alumnus Gil Hoffman (Medill '99), chief political correspondent and analyst for The Jerusalem Post and a reserve soldier in the Israel Defense Forces Spokesperson Unit. The lecture was meant to show "why American Jews should be optimistic about Israel," according to the event flyer.
SJP members and other concerned students walked out because they felt the speaker disrespected students and neglected to address all viewpoints, Communication junior Rayyan Najeeb said.
"You would learn nothing from his speech except a little bit about Israeli suffering that is happening now," Najeeb said. "He mentioned nothing about the humanitarian crisis that is happening in Palestine."
The walkout was not meant to cause a "disruption" but rather highlight the lack of voice granted to Palestinians, said Weinberg freshman and SPJ member Cory Behroozi.
"We know we're not going to convince anyone," Behroozi said. "They've already formed their opinions. The point is to get them to see the other side. And by walking out, they will know that students are here to protest. That is all we want."
A similar demonstration occurred Nov. 1 at Wayne State University in Detroit, where students staged a silent mass walkout that left Hoffman speaking to a nearly empty room. Many had covered their mouths with red tape and held signs protesting Israeli war crimes.
Hoffman said he was unsure of what the students were trying to achieve in both the Wayne State and NU walkouts.
"It seems like they want to delegitimize Israel," Hoffman said in the lecture, "but I don't see why they didn't stay until the end of the talk. I invite them to a dialogue. They should ask me questions, and I will respond. I wish they would have been able to hear the other side of the story."
Najeeb, however, said the environment did not allow for "fruitful discussion." The fact that guests had to submit questions via written notecard kept them, he said, from speaking aloud and put them at risk of being censored, or of having their question be ignored altogether.
"There was nothing we could say or ask that would open up dialogue," Najeeb said. "They were preaching to one particular demographic. With the diction and vocabulary [Hoffman] used to describe Palestinians, you could tell he was only willing to discuss pointed issues. Northwestern shouldn't support something like that."
Najeeb said many of the students are friends with NU Hillel executive Director Michael Simon and do not want to blame Hillel for their frustration.
"We have much respect for [Simon]," Najeeb said, "but we feel we have the agency to protest if they bring in a speaker who is not willing to engage in discourse."
Reached by phone Friday, Simon said he had hoped "the event would be a starting point for conversation and dialogue."
"The presence of students who might disagree very strongly with the perspective of the speaker, had they stayed through the end, could have been a point for a productive give-and-take. I'm disappointed that didn't happen," Simon said. He added that he valued his relationship with the students who were there and appreciated that "Hillel has a positive relationship with student groups across campus."
NU Hillel Israel Fellow Paz Barzilay, who helped organize the event, said it is a "shame" that students left during the lecture.
"We hold these events to create an environment where we can talk freely and see other perspectives," Barzilay said. "[Hoffman] answered every one of the questions asked. It's unfortunate. I hope we can have more events like these because the more educated everyone becomes about the issue, the better we can discuss our opinions."
Meanwhile, members from Chicagoans Against Apartheid in Palestine and independent Chicagoland activists were leafleting at the Arch in protest of the Hoffman lecture.
Chicago resident Noah Lepawsky, one of the protesters, said the Jewish population plays a crucial role in achieving peace, and that NU Hillel should help make that happen.
"It's particularly important for Jews to speak up," Lepawsky said. "A strong – but wrong – part of the narrative is that Israel has the support of all Jews. But being Jewish and being Zionist are not the same."
Lepawsky's goal at the Arch was to "raise awareness" about the Palestinian movement, and to encourage NU students to engage in the cause.
"You have to educate yourself and realize that the narrative you hear in the media is not only incomplete but also biased in favor of Israeli aggression," Lepawsky said. "Students can write letters to editors and politicians. Do whatever you can to speak up."
Responses from student passersby were "good," CAAP member Neal Resnikoff said.
"Many have been taking leaflets and stopping for discussion," Resnikoff said. "I don't know what they really think or what they did with the papers after they left, but at least they're more educated on these issues now."
Robinson Meyer contributed reporting.

15 for 17, not bad at all. Sure opened up the running game. Great job Kessler.
Oh, oh…this is a terrible piece of news for those air-headed bRUINS. The final game of the season might not be as easy as they've thought it would be, huh?…lol.
If they keep improving over the next nine games. UCLA looks very good right now, 38 unanswered points in the 2nd half, wow. The offense today finally seemed to come together. They need to keep working.
But it was just a Big10 team…
Kinda reminds me of when the Condoms would breeze thru early season victories against the SISTERS of THE POOR….(Hawaii, , her poor sister Virginia, and the very poor older sister "Minny") and boast about being UNDEFEATED….OOPS….almost forgot, you got SMOKED by that PACIFIC NORTHWEST JUGGERNAUT, WAZZU!
(If you only would have DEFLATED the balls…)
fit UN torgans!

This Story
DETROIT, Jan. 7, 2002 -The Jeep Compass, in its world premiere at
the 2002 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, is a
concept that feels at home in an urban environment while possessing
the free spirit of a performance rally car. Inspired by the 1998
Jeep Jeepster concept and built on a Jeep Cherokee platform, Compass
also offers a great combination of on-road dynamics and off-highway
capability. Aptly named Compass, this latest Jeep concept will be
pointing consumers in its segment toward tomorrow.
Group's Pacifica Advanced Design Center in Carlsbad, California,
was tasked to design a Jeep concept for "millennials,"
the next large, emerging group of consumers in the USA, now age
24 or younger. This group will outnumber the "Baby Boomer"
generation. The Jeep brand has the third highest percentage of "definitely
consider" of all brands among those buyers, as shown by the
2001 Vehicle Experience Study.
are looking for an authentic, affordable vehicle to carry their
friends and gear," said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President
of Design for the Chrysler Group. "They would prefer to have
an exotic sports car, but those are not only out of their financial
reach, but also don't offer enough room or flexibility. Knowing
their preference for the Jeep brand, we created the Compass to exactly
fit the bill: a capable compact SUV offering performance, cargo
space and an attractive price."
a rally car, the two-door Jeep Compass has all-wheel drive, a short
wheelbase and a low centre of gravity to hug the road. Compass features
a lightweight steel "uniframe" construction and a 157
kW (210 bhp), 319 Nm (235 lb.-ft.), 3.7-litre PowerTech V-6 engine,
offering ample power whether travelling on pavement, gravel, dirt
or snowy city streets.
'G Force Green' exterior paint is reminiscent of a military colour
scheme," said Michael Castiglione, exterior designer for the
Jeep Compass at Pacifica. "The exterior and interior colours
convey a mature, honest integrity and are steeped in Jeep authenticity."
Adds Pacifica's Jordan Meadows: "Even as the instrument panel
looks like the cockpit of a fighter jet with technical dials and
gauges -- and of course a compass -- we have kept the interior styling
simple, uncluttered and functional."
machine-style rotating controls operate all primary functions, while
the gauges are reminiscent of traditional watch faces, and the air
vents have classic aeronautical design. A sturdy grab handle covers
the width of the instrument panel, as a visually strong "backbone"
runs throughout the entire interior. This design element is mirrored
by a full-length overhead console. The instrument panel features
a multi-functional docking station with LCD screen.
bucket seats offer all occupants a command-of-the-road seating position,
comfort and support. The seats are trimmed in green leather and
Goretex with "G Force Green" soft touch grommets. The
rear buckets fold to create a flat loading surface, executed in
low-gloss stainless steel with integrated tie-downs in the side
trim. True to its Jeep heritage, the interior features a moulded
rubber floor. The spare tyre is incorporated into the rear hatch.
Compass conveys an expressive personality in its exterior design
with details such as fender length running lights, and stainless
steel brush guard and sill panels with the Jeep name. The roof features
a unique diamond plate textured liner with integrated tie-downs,
developed to take the abuse of any type of hauling.
goal was to make the Jeep Compass rugged, durable and able to take
a beating at all the typical scuff zones," Castiglione said.
"You can play hard and be rough on this vehicle and its exterior
holds up, giving the driver total freedom to go anywhere, do anything.
After all, it is an authentic Jeep vehicle - right down to its seven-slot
grille and trapezoidal wheel arches."
