Bush national security advisor Frances Townsend today delivered to President Bush a three-page handwritten resignation letter on White House stationery. At its core was this heart-rending tribute:
In 1937, the playwright Maxwell Anderson wrote of President George Washington: There are some men who lift the age they inhabit, til all men walk on higher ground in their lifetime.
Mr. President, you are such a man.
Comparing George W. to the first president may invite the more sober to some serious comparisons. George Washington served his nation in uniform in two conflicts and was viewed as the obvious candidate to bring the country together and avoid nascent partisanship shortly after the Constitution was adopted. Whatever criticisms may be mounted as to the particulars of his stewardship, he met these expectations: he was a uniter, with a prudential vision, keen to the limitations inherent in the force of arms and determined to avoid foreign entanglements which would undermine the peace and prosperity of his nation.
George Washington believed that America's credo required that prisoners taken in time of war be treated with dignity and respect. He forbade torture and other acts of abuse. He required that the religious convictions of the prisoners be respected. "Treat them with humanity, and let them have no reason to complain of our copying the brutal example of the British Army in their treatment of our unfortunate brethren who have fallen into their hands," he wrote in a famous order on January 8, 1777.
George Washington succeeded against all odds, and his success was bolstered by a brave decision to fight the war in a way that reflected the values of a new republic, which put the dignity of the ordinary man first, repudiating the cruelty associated with tyrannical regimes. In this way Washington stood for a great nobility of spirit. As Maxwell Anderson wrote, he did lift the age he inhabited.
And what would George Washington think of a successor who treads with malice on his noble traditions and whose most notable accomplishment has been the destruction of a reputation that generations of Americans sacrificed to achieve on the global stage?
George Washington's favorite play was Joseph Addison's "Cato," and one passage in that play is underscored in Washington's copy and was quoted by him repeatedly in correspondence—to explain why as a conscientious subject he found it impossible to continue to serve a sovereign he considered to have taken on the attributes of a tyrant:
There live retired; pray for the peace of Rome;
Content thyself to be obscurely good.
When vice prevails, and impious men bear sway,
The post of honour is a private station.
Surely there can be no honor in serving this president. But a resignation letter with the unmistakable signature of a sycophant is in the end appropriate. It speaks truth about the author, and about the nature of her relationship with her erstwhile master.

"It is an interesting and somewhat macabre parlor game to play at a large gathering of one's acquaintances: to speculate who in a showdown would go Nazi. By now, I think I know. I have gone through the experience many times—in Germany, in Austria, and in France. I have come to know the types: the born Nazis, the Nazis whom democracy itself has created, the certain-to-be fellow-travelers. And I also know those who never, under any conceivable circumstances, would become Nazis."

Tredarrup is a wonderfully situated complex of four quality grade two listed barn conversions, Mill Barn, Stable Cottage, The Shippon and The Wagon, set in seven acres of beautiful Cornish countryside. Wonderful setting for couples, families and dogs. Ideally located for exploring the North Cornwall coast, Bodmin Moor and destinations such as Padstow, Port Isaac and Poldark country to name but a few. We are a short drive from numerous superb beaches and the many restaurants that give North Cornwall its deserved reputation as an outstanding dining destination.
All our cottages retain much character being built from traditional stone and granite and all feature wood-burning stoves for all year comfort. In addition to private outdoor seating areas we also have a large shared grassed area for enjoying the spectacular views and abundant local wildlife.

Wetsuits and muddy boots can be stored here and there are a selection of games for guests use. Washing and storage facilities for bicycles can also be provided by arrangement.
Bedlinen and towels included.
Tredarrup is a lovely little spot just off the beaten track, we stayed in the Mill Barn which gave us ample room for a family of five, with plenty of safe play area outside overlooking a beautiful valley. The property was clean and tidy with a well stocked kitchen and Abi our host was extremely helpful and tended to our needs when required, cake on arrival and fresh eggs from the chickens on site were a welcome sight after a long car journey. A great location for accessing the most far reaching parts of South Cornwall allowed us to explore most places withing an hours drive, the nearest beach was only a 15 min drive away.
Looking forward to going back next year already
We enjoyed our time at Mill Barn. It was a cozy,hidden place. Everything was well maintenanced.Abi was an angel to us and helped always,when needed.We will come back soon.
Our family of five had all the space we needed in this spic and span large property with all mod cons . Abigail made us feel very welcome . I can imagine that during the summer months when the weather is at it`s best this property would unfold even more of it`s charm in that one could use the covered Barbecue area and then eat and relax in front of a stunning view of the sun going down over rolling cornish countryside. Even in March it was beautiful out there ! I would certainly recommend this property to friends and already have . One of the trip highlights was to visit Tintagel , which is no more that 30 mins away . Then there was Pony trekking over Bodmin moor for my oldest daughter ( heaven she said ) . All in all we had an excellent few days here .
Lovely barn with everything we needed. Well kept, clean and lots of nice finishing touches. The owners were very attentive and had thought of everything, even the dog's facilities were considered and provided for! The barn is in a peaceful and remote setting with stunning views, the only downside of this being the poor wifi connection but this was outweighed by all the good points.
Lovely large barn, set in beautiful countryside. We were fortunate that the weather was lovely throughout our stay, so several BBQ's and the odd bottle of Prosecco sitting outside in the evening were a must😄
Highly recommended
We had a wonderful and relaxing week in this comfortable and clean and very tastefully furnished cottage with plenty of room for a family aswell inside as outside in the garden and fields. We felt very warmly welcome by the owner (thanks for the delicious cake!). All our questions and needs were quickly respondet to at any time by the very friendly and discreet owners. The location is perfect for lots of activities and attractions - more than fitted in a single week.
This is no-doubt a five-star-recommendation! Nothing could be improved - except from the weather, but this was definitely not the owner's responsibility ;-)
Tredarrup is beautifully situated, near North Cornwall's coast and beaches, set amongst farmland with fantastic views across North Cornwall's Allen Valley. St Teath, the local village, has a newsagent, grocery store and a pub with good food. Within easy reach of the North Cornish Coast, surfing at Polzeath, sailing or fishing at Rock, sand castles at Daymer Bay, cycling along the famous Camel Trail, moorland and coastal walks. Nearby are Padstow, Boscastle, Bodmin Moor and the historic fishing village of Port Issac. Only half an hour from the Eden Project and 40 minutes from The Lost Gardens of Heligan.
We are located off the A39 near St Teath and Michaelstow, our nearest towns are Camelford, Wadebridge and Bodmin.

WOW! This is what you miss when you listen on the radio. Thanks for the vid, I already watched it about 15 times.
Yeah coming in cold and shooting a turnaround J over a 7 foot shotblocker ain't no big thang. Or the block that was called goaltending (very close), or the absolutely thunderous dunk in the vid. Damn rebounds.
Don't Darkojack threads or I will have to wake up Roscoe (and he wakes being woke up for forum business!). ;) :D
Fantastic dunk. Overall, I'd like to see more offense going toward the rim when he posts up. The guy I saw in the summer league was a good spot up shooter (like the shot in orlando), but when he was in the post he was at his best when he was going toward the rim instead of fading away. He has a good touch around the basket, but he hasn't used it yet. Everything is a jumper or a dunk. I agree with the rebounding, but more importantly his help defense. A big reason he didn't get many rebounds is because Toronto was scoring at will, so there weren't many to be had. Mike James was just getting past Lindsey/Delk with ease and all we had is Delfino and Max meeting him in the paint. Obviously Free Throw shooting is a concern as well. He needs to get that up to the 70% range with the style he plays, or he'll be leaving a ton of points behind over his career.
I saw the game. It was quite the treat seeing JMax on. He didn't look too out of place out there - real Pistons DNA.

suspension lift + body lift/coil spacers
anyone have a 3.5-4" suspension lift and a 1-2" body lift/coil spacer lift? im trying to see some pix. and yes i do know that an sye is necessary for coil spacers
An SYE isn't necessary for coil spacers. They should be used with suspension lift's 4.5" and higher.
Once you go over 3" of lift, you really get into SYE territory. Coil spacers lifts only go up to 2.25", and most times you need to do a small t-case drop to eliminate vibes with that height. 1" BL is a body lift...it lifts the body away from the frame. You can combine a 4" lift with a 1" BL, to clear 35s (assuming you've done everything else like bumpstops, shocks, brakes, steering, etc, etc). This is expensive, but works well. Or you can combine a 2" spacer lift, with a 1" BL to clear 33s. Which isn't a great way to go, but it's cheap. Some people combine 4" lift springs with 2" budget boost (coil spacers), but they're morons and don't understand the implications. Don't do that...just buy a 6" lift kit if you want 6" of lift. Quote:
i currently have a 4" suspension lift with a tcase drop. im looking into an sye if i go any bigger (in terms of moving the frame away from the axels). i know the differences between a coil spacer and body lift are. there is no driveline angle change with a BL, but there is with a coil spacer. that being said, i am looking into a few more inches of height.
2 Attachment(s)
4.5 RE with 2" spacers in front.. 35" tires..
I'd suggest starting at Clayton Off-Road - www.claytonoffroad.com Maybe Rubicon Express or Skyjacker for the springs, Bilstein for the shocks. |
Here is what I have 4" pro comp suspension lift and 1" coil spacer lift I got on Ebay for like 30 bucks, I love the set up
Wavebacktothetj, do you have an sye kit?
Looks good. What gears are you running?
To whoever said that an SYE isn't necessary with coil spacers, if your spacers are combined with another lift, I'm pretty sure that could put you into SYE territory depending on your particular vehicle and the amount of lift it'll have between the two lifts. |

The good folks from Conflicker Working group have a special sort of Conflicker eye chart which tests your PC for that nasty PC Conflicker worm virus. The chart features a table chart with 3 columns and 2 rows, containing a total of 6 remotely hosted images. These images are from various Antivirus software websites such as Trend Micro and Secure Works. According to the Conflicker working group, the C variant of the worm virus blocks access by PC's to over 100 different antivirus security websites, hence a image eye chart test can be used to determine if Conflicker's running amok on your PC.
The way it works is simple. Don't worry you don't have to stand 6 feet from the screen and cover each eye. Stay seated, this is for your PC. If you can see all 6 images in the Conflicker eye chart, then you're most likely safe, unless you're running a proxy server. The folks at the site say running on a proxy server won't adequately test your computer for Conflicker.
If you (your computer) don't see the top 3 images, but see the bottom 3 images, it could mean you're infected with the Conflicker C variant which was revealed as a potentially dangerous virus on 60 Minutes, which claimed the virus was awaiting instructions for further action on April 1st.
If you see the bottom 3 images as well as the top middle "SecureWorks" logo image, then your PC may have the Conficker A/B variant.
If you don't see any images the working group suggests you may have image loading turned off. The Monetizer also suggests if you see fuzzy, blurry, distorted or no images you consider getting your monitor checked or go in for a human eye test.

HUFFINGTON POST - "Impact of Job Numbers Goes Far Beyond the Jobless" |
Tuesday, 12 July 2011 15:00 |
By Jeff MadrickA New York Times article on Sunday by the fine journalist Catherine Rampell suggested that a reason the jobs crisis in America (my phrase) is not getting sufficient attention is that the unemployment rate, even if a very high 9.2 percent, still means that nearly 91 percent are employed.But we need to take a moment to clarify what high unemployment really means, and how broad its implications are. It is an indicator of overall economic weakness, not merely a number about those without jobs. And as such, it suggests that much is seriously wrong. It does not mean that 14 million are hurting people and the other 125 million are not. First of all, we of course know that millions are looking for jobs and have given up or have taken part-time jobs when they want full-time jobs. That adds another 7 or 8 percent to the unemployed or underemployed. We are now are getting to the point where one out of six workers or so is having employment disappointments. We also know many have been unemployed for a very long time -- a record number, in fact. Second, these people have relatives and friends who increasingly realize they may also get the axe.Their families, not only themselves, suffer. Third, when you lose a job you now usually lose your health coverage -- or have to pay up big time to retain it. That adds to the misery. In fact, far more people than 9.2 percent are upset by the high unemployment rate. About a quarter say in surveys it is our number one problem. But high unemployment also implies little or no wage growth for most employees. There are two theories about this. One is the classical theory that when labor markets are loose, there is more supply and the price will not rise readily -- that is, the wage. The other is a little more Marxian in orientation. When people are losing their jobs, they get scared -- and they don't ask for a raise, they work more hours if asked, and on. Since mid-2009, when the recovery technically began, there has been almost no increase in wages and salaries. But profits have soared by hundreds of billions of dollars. That's almost never been the case before. Indeed, the relationship between job creation and GDP growth seems to have changed some time ago. Many people, including Nobel laureate Michael Spence, hardly known as a progressive economist, worry that something is deeply wrong -- and a lot of it may be about globalization. But when you consider that salaries and wages have risen slowly, stagnated, or fallen for almost all workers except those at the top for forty years, the American economic condition gets pretty frightening. I think the unemployment rate suggests there is growing malaise in the nation. More and more people are pessimistic. Are Americans giving up on the future? And yet both political parties talk far more about budget deficits than jobs. Obama has fallen into one of the great political traps of all time. On average, the media follow meekly behind. Yet Americans have long fallen for the deficit scare, back in the 1930s and even before that. That is an issue worthy of more discussion. I wrote a few weeks ago on New Deal 2.0 that Obama should sound the jobs alarm. Leadership matters in America. That is the problem. Right now, we don't have it. Leaders have to tell Americans the economy is weak and the deficit is necessary right now. But in sum, a high unemployment rate does not merely mean that 14 million Americans, and they alone, are suffering. It suggests far broader pain and suffering. And disappointment may turn to anger before we know it. The Tea Party is the first manifestation of this. What's next? Cross-posted from New Deal 2.0. on Huffingtonpost.com |

The tents are up. The shows have begun. Fashion Week is under way. But economic prosperity is not. Yet again.
"This is a season that is going to make or break a lot of people," senior vice-president of IMG FashionFern Mallis tells Bloomberg. Retailers like Neiman Marcus have been cutting orders by as much as 25 percent. They're clamoring for lower prices. Designers are working harder than ever to create pieces women don't already have, so they have a reason to go out and shop. Anna Wintour hopes Fashion's Night Out, which kicks off tonight in over 700 stores across the city, will jump-start that effort. We wonder how many non-industry people know and are excited about Fashion's Night Out. But everyone really should go, because if you put forth even a small effort to go to something you're pretty much guaranteed a sighting of a celebrity in the wild and a free cocktail. Actually, tonight should be the easiest night to get drunk for free all year: If you look at the FNO calendar, it's hard to find a store that isn't handing out free booze. Perhaps they figure when you're drunk, you're more likely to spend money recklessly.
But come spring, when Fashion's Night Out is no longer still going on, designers plan to get you into stores by making clothes that you don't currently own trendy. For the spring 2010 season, according to Neiman Marcus senior VP and fashion director Ken Downing, we will see a lot of blue (which goes nicely with a blue economy). Shades will vary from navy to turquoise to pale powder blue. We should also see "shorter and full flirty skirts and long and draped sleeves to be worn during the day as well as for cocktail parties." Also expect variations on animal and floral prints. This season will bring an influx of relaxed pants, which makes tons of sense because the fashion industry can't have you wearing all those leggings you spent thousands of dollars on this season again next season. No! We have to spend thousands of dollars on pants that come in entirely new shapes. But! Though we're about as cheap as they come and loathe being forced to spend money, this is excellent news! For it sounds like bottoms are back. Pants for the win!

My 15 year old is on spring break this week and just asked if her boyfriend of a year could sleep over tonight (in her bed.) I know they have been having sex for the past six months and she is on bc and using condoms. Part of me thinks why not, they are already active but the other part of me is how I was raised and know my mother would never have let that happen in our house growing up. I'm really mixed on this and wondered if anybody else has allowed this and how did it work out?

Anguished over "delay" by Maharashtra government and CBI in moving the Supreme Court against the Bombay High Court's verdict in the Khairlanji Dalit killing case, the only survivor of the incident today said he would move the apex court.
"I will appoint a well-known lawyer and move the Supreme Court challenging the Bombay High Court verdict which was totally unexpected and unfortunate," Bhaiyalal Bhotmange told reporters.
Bhotmange, whose wife, two sons and a daughter were killed in the incident, said he wanted all the 11 accused, including three who were acquitted in the case by the sessions court, to be awarded death penalty.
Although the sessions court had punished eight accused in the case, they were acquitted under Prevention of Atrocities on SC/ST Act. Bhotmange said "I will challenge this aspect also. I will also press molestation charges, which were not included so far, against the culprits," he said.
"I met Chief Minister Ashok Chavan today to know the government's stand on moving the SC in the case. However, I was just told that CBI which probed the case will move the court. The government is not paying heed to my plea," Bhotmange alleged.
"I do not know when CBI will move the court but I have decided to go to the apex court independently seeking justice," he said.
Four members of the Bhotmange family -- Surekha Bhaiyalal, her daughter Priyanka, sons Sudhir and Roshan --were brutally killed by a mob at Khairlanji village on September 29, 2006, over a land dispute with upper castes, provoking violent protests across the state.
Six people, accused of killing children, were given death sentence by a sessions court in September, 2008. Another two were sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering Bhotmange's wife while three others were acquitted.
The Bombay High Court later commuted the death sentence of six convicts to 25 years imprisonment and fixed a similar period for two others serving life term.

Fashion for Life
The Fashion For Life fair is almost over. The theme this year was black and white photographers, and you see me here in the Arbus sim. I am wearing a 50 Linden outfit from Eshi Otawara "love me"; including the hairpiece, pants suit, gloves and feathery hearts. The fan was a freebie from Barerose in their store, the shoes are an old freebie from Tesla and the hair is (not free) Maitreya. I also bought a couple of charity donation items: the beaded jacket and the studded slippers in the second picture are from new-to-me shop Willow. I have kept on the heart "fur collar" and the basic pant suit from the first picture.

Late for St Patrick's
I'm afraid I'm a day late for the St Patrick's Day festivities. This lovely dress (including the shamrock tights) was a freebie from G. Field, whilst the shoes are still the group gift item from Alb Dreams. I also kept on the top from the dress in my previous post, as I liked the lacey effect it gave. I also wear a Genesis St Patrick's freebie necklace from a year or so ago and a luck board bracelet from Dark Mouse.

Fly Fishing Computer Game?
Hey guys, We starting carrying a computer game called Fly Fishing the Green River and was curious to see if any of you have ever played it. I personally haven't played it but thought about getting one for myself just to check it out. The screenshots look really cool and if you have played let me know what you thought of it. If you have never heard of the game you can check it out at the store. Here's the link. Click Here |

I bought that game last year along with a few others,including Trophy Rivers by Sierra and Fishing Lodge(a collection of 3 games:Fishing Forever,Saltwater Flyfishing,and Fishing USA).
Flyfishing th Green is a decent looking game but I just can't get it to work for me.I can't get the thing to cast AT ALL so I have stopped trying to play it.I guess if I could cast I would probably like it.If you figure it out,let me know! By far the best fishing game I have played(with the exception of a bass fishing game that I played on a Sega Dreamcast which was UNBELIEVABLE!) is the Trophy Rivers game made by Sierra.It is excellent in every aspect,with good graphics as well.You can fish either from shore or from a drift boat for a variety of species. By far THE WORST game I have ever played is the 3 game set called Fishing Lodge.This was a complete waste of money and none of the 3 games is even worth looking at,let alone playing. |
Fly Fishing the Green River Game
If you love fly fishing, you'll love this game...
I have it and I have landed the monster brown trout several times... (30 pounder) :hehe: It is a fun game and just what you need when your streams and rivers are still covered with ice... It helps fight cabin fever. :eyecrazy:
Spring will sprung... The grass will riz... Wonder where those mayflies is? |

In Defense of Dessert: The Case Against Austerity
Why cutting down doesn't pay off.
This oafishly moralized vision of austerity politics is itself the essence of childish self-delusion, running counter to both good economic policy and the baseline maintenance of public health.
When the harsh light of day exposed the empirical bankruptcy of the great enabling myth of fiscal austerity—the famed Reinhart-Rogoff thesis, which purported to link deficit spending with sluggish economic growth—you might have expected the peddlers of center-right shibboleths to hunker down for some long-overdue beating of breast and gnashing of teeth.
You would, of course, be wrong. Yes, the two Harvard economists turned out to have committed fundamental spreadsheet errors that distorted their actual findings past all recognition; and yes, there's no longer any real-world confirmation of the talismanic belief that shrinking government deficits during a historic recession is a good idea. But austerity's true believers have never trucked much with falsifiable truth claims.
Just consider their response to another recent rebuke: the research of public-health scholars David Stuckler and Sanjay Basu, who have reviewed the mortality and health consequences of recent austerity movements, from the Eastern European "shock therapy" campaigns of the 1990s to the deranged belt-tightening regime of Britain's David Cameron today. In their new book The Body Economic: Why Austerity Kills, Stuckler and Basu show distressingly consistent increases in such key public-health indicators as suicides, heart disease, alcoholism and HIV infection in societies embarking on steep reductions in social spending. Correspondingly, societies (such as Iceland, Sweden and Finland) that have refused to pare back their welfare states in hard times exhibit steady—and, in some case, increasing—signs of public health. Oh, and more straightforward economic indicators, such as low unemployment and broad middle-class prosperity, also strangely adhere to political economies that continue to spend robustly on social services and healthcare—again, contrary to every single theory in the austerity playbook.
Yet when a practiced faux-contrarian pundit like The New Republic's Michael Kinsley alighted on Stuckler and Basu's findings, he stepped forward bravely to report that they were all part of a "misguided moral crusade against austerity" captained by New York Times columnist Paul Krugman. Sure, Kinsley writes, the life chances of ordinary working citizens diminish steeply under conditions of austerity: They "get depressed and commit suicide. They drink and ruin their livers. They don't buy their prescription drugs or see their doctor when they should in order to save money. They lose their jobs, come home, and murder their spouses."
But that, you see, is just the iron law of economic comeuppance, as Kinsley divines it. "I don't think suffering is good, but I do believe that we have to pay a price for past sins," he writes, "and the longer we put it off, the higher the price will be. …[T]he austerians deserve credit: They at least are talking about the spinach, while the Krugmanites are only talking about dessert."
Where to begin? There is, first off, something delusional, and indeed vicious, in shifting the costs of the particular "past sins" of our Great Recession—which were the exclusive handiwork of the stupendously overcompensated investment class—onto the vulnerable subjects of Stuckler and Basu's research. More fundamentally, however, Kinsley has conceded that mass suffering is the confirmed and predictable outcome of hardline austerity policies—and he thinks they are somehow better for us, anyway. People of the Kinsleyan persuasion seem to sincerely believe that there is, in fact, no organized bloc of financiers, policymakers and intellectuals that benefits from the four-decadeslong-and-counting war on the public sphere—that the reluctant prophets of austerity are, like him, only doling out hard paternal truths about the way the real world works for the touchingly "misguided" citizen-children who clamor for dessert after dessert, all day long.
The irony, of course, is that this oafishly moralized vision of austerity politics is itself the essence of childish self-delusion, running counter to both good economic policy and the baseline maintenance of public health. The hysterical Kinsleyan denial of the fallout from the shrinking welfare state is an infantile lullaby that our privileged pundit class invokes over and over again, as it sings itself to sleep.

Day 47 is here and we are going to talk about container gardening inside. One of our readers, Maggie, already has one on her deck but one of the most important things you can do for the air quality in your home is to set up some containers in your house.
So much of what we have in our house, from the curtains to the carpets, from the cleaners to even the food, has chemicals in it. The great thing about container gardening is that it works the same way that the trees do. It takes the bad chemicals out of the air and replaces it with healthy oxygen.
So, this also helps you get nice clean fresh air inside.
What Layla and I have done is that we are setting up an 'indoor garden' to go with our outdoor one. It is only a few pots right now but Layla and I are working at turning a good part of our living room into a garden, complete with soil, plastic wrapping to prevent it leaking on the floor, and about 6 inches to one foot deep, and several feet wide and long. This will not only provide us with food through the winter as we grow indoors, but it will also help us keep the air inside our home clean, and keep us from buying veggies from the store.
Do you have some tips for us and our indoor garden? Do you have an indoor garden yourself? Send us a photo to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will put it up!

NEW YORK (AP) — Reserves for this season's NBA All-Star Game were selected today, and Kyle Lowry, Kevin Martin and Luis Scola were not among those picked, meaning this season's All-Star roster has no Rockets players.
Dirk Nowitzki and Paul Pierce overcame slow starts to return to the All-Star game, while lengthy runs ended for Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan.
Nowitzki was chosen Thursday to his 11th straight All-Star game, despite his lowest scoring average since his second NBA season. Pierce has come on after a slow start caused by a foot injury and was picked for the 10th time.
But Garnett wasn't chosen after 14 consecutive selections, and Duncan was left out after 13 in a row. Other All-Star regulars such as Ray Allen and Amare Stoudemire will be home, giving way to five first-timers: Portland's LaMarcus Aldridge, Marc Gasol of Memphis, Andre Iguodala of Philadelphia, Indiana's Roy Hibbert, and Chicago's Luol Deng.
Also headed to Orlando for the Feb. 26 game are NBA assists leader Steve Nash of Phoenix, Tony Parker of San Antonio, Russell Westbrook of Oklahoma City, Kevin Love of Minnesota, Chris Bosh of Miami, Atlanta's Joe Johnson and Deron Williams of New Jersey.
Already voted to start by fans in the Eastern Conference were Orlando's Dwight Howard, LeBron James and Dwyane Wade of Miami, Chicago's Derrick Rose and New York's Carmelo Anthony. The West starters are the Lakers' Kobe Bryant and Andrew Bynum, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin of the Clippers, and Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant.
Coaches voted for the reserves, and they had a tough task in this lockout-shortened season, when they were given only about 25 games to evaluate players. That threatened to make it tough for Nowitzki and Pierce, whose bodies weren't ready to go after the lengthy offseason and brief training camps, and have played below their usual standards.
"I think it's too early. I'm sitting on my couch when they announced the rosters and I'm floored. I didn't even know they had started the voting," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said.
But the coaches picked Nowitzki, the NBA finals MVP, even though his average of 17.6 points is his worst since he scored 17.5 per game in the 1999-00 season. The Mavericks shut him down for a few games to work on his conditioning, and even he wondered recently whether his streak would continue, given the depth of players in his position in the West.
"It was a tough road back to full health for me, but I am honored that the coaches thought enough of me to make me an All-Star," Nowitzki said in a statement. "It has been a privilege to represent the Mavericks organization over the last decade and I look forward to doing it again in Orlando."
Pierce has been a little better, winning last week's East player of the week award and hiking his average to 18.4 per game, but acknowledged during an interview on TNT before the Celtics played the Lakers that he was a little surprised to be picked.
But he'll go alone from Boston, a year after Garnett, Allen and Rajon Rondo went with him. Duncan was there last year, too, having never missed an All-Star game since entering the league in the 1997-98 season.
"They're getting older," Rivers said. "It's just, you know, change. It happens."
Age didn't stop Nash, averaging 10 assists and shooting 56 percent from the field. He became just the fourth player to earn an All-Star spot at 38 or older, joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan and Karl Malone.
Coaches favored team success, with only Nash, Williams and Gasol getting picked from teams with losing records.
That left out All-Star hopefuls such as Milwaukee's Brandon Jennings, the Knicks' Stoudemire — who misses a chance to play near his Florida home — the Grizzlies' Rudy Gay and Golden State's Monta Ellis. Houston's Kyle Lowry also fell short in the West, where coaches picked three other point guards.
Minnesota's awful record last season nearly cost Love, though he eventually made it as an injury replacement. Putting up big numbers again and this time with the Timberwolves on the right side of .500, he was an easy pick.
"It's a lot of joy," Love said. "It's really a respect thing. I've had a great season thus far and we've had some success as a team. For me, it's definitely a big deal. I put in a lot of work these last three and a half seasons and I don't intend on stopping."
The snubbed players still have a chance if there is an injury. Commissioner David Stern chooses the injury replacements.

Formula Bmw Usa Championship - 2006 Schedule
Woodcliff Lake, NJ - December 7, 2005 BMW of North America, LLC announced today an impressive calendar for the 2006 Formula BMW USA season with the 14-round championship to take place on seven of the most prestigious race tracks in the USA and Canada. Entering its third season in North America, Formula BMW USA offers an exciting schedule, which will visit five circuits that the championship has raced on in its first two seasons. Two new venues have been added to enhance the variety of challenging race tracks that will enable aspiring young open-wheel drivers to gain valuable racing experience. The 2006 championship will allow Formula BMW USA drivers to race in conjunction with several different North American road racing series, in addition to both North American Formula 1 Grand Prix races. Formula BMW USA will race in support of Formula 1, the American Le Mans Series (ALMS), the Champ Car World Series and the Grand American Road Racing Association. The season will start at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on May 19-22 with Rounds 1 and 2 in support of the ALMS. Rounds 3 and 4 will take place at Lime Rock Park in support of Grand American on May 26-29. Rounds 5 through 8 will be run in support of the Canadian and the United States Grands Prix on June 23-25 and July 1-2. The championship fight will be taken to the streets with Rounds 9 through 12 at the San José Grand Prix on July 26-28 and the Grand Prix of Denver on August 11-13 with Champ Car. The winner of the 2006 Formula BMW USA Championship will be decided in the two final Rounds at Mosport International Raceway on September 1-3 in support of the ALMS. "We continue to build on the success of the Formula BMW USA Championship after its first two seasons," said Alexander Schmuck, Formula BMW USA Motorsports Manager. "This caliber of schedule, combined with the unique Formula BMW Education and Coaching Program, will provide great exposure and guarantee thrilling action. We look forward to another exciting season in 2006." 2005 was Formula BMW USA's second season. 15-year old Formula BMW Junior driver Richard Philippe won the Overall and the Rookie Championship. The 2006 season test ban will go into effect on March 15, 2006. Four official testing sessions have been scheduled at Road Atlanta on March 27-28, at Virginia International Raceway South Course on April 8-9, at Carolina Motorsports Park on April 16-17 and at Miller Motorsports Park on July 18-19.

In 2005 the series was held in Germany, the UK, Asia and the USA. Up-and-coming drivers as young as 15-years-old are given the opportunity of entering motor racing with the high-tech, standard FB02 race car. This racing car has been seen on the grid since 2002 and has set the standard for safety and technology. The single-seater is powered by a 140 bhp BMW engine and can achieve speeds of 140 mph and exceeds by far the safety requirements for its class. BMW Motorsport has developed the FORS Formula Rescue Race Seat especially for Formula BMW. The HANS safety system is also mandatory. In 2005, Formula BMW was staged five times as part of the Formula One support program. All the series offer a multifaceted Education and Coaching Program as well as sponsorship for promising racing talents. The best-known alumni are Formula One drivers Ralf Schumacher, Christian Klien and Nico Rosberg. BMW Motorsport Director, Mario Theissen: "Formula BMW offers talented young drivers more than just a car. In the Education and Coaching Program we have designed specially for them, they learn everything they need to know to hold their own in the world of motor racing. Formula BMW has become the top entry-level class for Formula racing worldwide." From December 13 to 16, 2005 the Bahrain International Circuit will host the first Formula BMW World Final. Young racing drivers from the four regional Formula BMW series will compete against each other. The winner will get a test drive with the BMW Sauber F1 Team.

Burma 'development' leaving most of the country behind
Ethnic states still in turmoil and poverty remains chronic
Duncan MacClaren International
February 20, 2013
"Development is the new name for peace,' said Pope Paul VI in his groundbreaking encyclical on development, The Progress of Peoples (Populorum Progressio) in 1967.
Well, not in Burma where a war in Kachin State in the north has displaced 90,000 people and where the Rohingya Muslims of Arakan State, rendered stateless by a whim of the regime in 1982, have been caught up in a spiral of violence with Buddhist Arakanese, resulting in killings and displacement of 100,000 people.
Such horror stories don't concern the Western and Chinese business people who have been given the green light by their governments to 'develop' Burma, and sweep, salivating, into Yangon.
They are seemingly oblivious to war and the ongoing human rights abuses over remaining political prisoners, restrictions on those released, land confiscation, forced labor, right of assembly and the failure of so-called reforms to meet international standards. They are there to do business and make money.
I have just returned from teaching a unit on an introduction to international development studies as part of the ACU Diploma in Liberal Studies program offered to Burmese refugees and migrants from camps and villages on the Thai-Burma border. This unit is part of a new ACU Bachelor of International Development Studies degree.
Unlike many other such degrees, its focus isn't on anthropology or economics but on people-centered development — an integral development that covers all aspects of human life but especially the life of the poor. Within that, economic growth is regarded as a means to making the lives of the poor more human not as an end in itself or to encourage the 'Tesco ergo sum' mentality — I spend therefore I am.
Instead, the form of development taught is akin to the 1995 UN definition of community development: "a process designed to create conditions of economic and social progress for the whole community with its active participation and the fullest possible reliance on the community's initiative", with an emphasis on human dignity.
One of the first exercises I did with the students was to have them draw a 'mind map' where the word 'development' was placed in the centre of a sheet and connections made from their knowledge and experience.
What they presented was a development that addressed the appalling health statistics and child mortality rates, gender inequality, lack of proper education and social welfare as well as the need for democratic and devolved governance that might lift the Burmese people from being 149th in the UN's global Human Development Index.
The students also feared that the kind of development to be ushered in by the foreign business people streaming into the 'new' Burma of reforms was not going to benefit their people.
Only two months after President's Obama visit to the former pariah state, a US-Myanmar Business Council endorsed by 70 executives from 38 companies, the first in 27 years, has been formed. Special economic zones are being planned where the daily wage, according to one minister, will be 200 baht ($6.45) a day as opposed to the Thais' 300 baht ($9.60) a day to ensure they undercut their neighbor in low wages. Those are official figures but, in reality, the wages paid will likely be much less.
The new foreign investment law passed in November 2012 by the Burmese Parliament will allow foreigners to own 100 percent of their operations and are guaranteed 'tax holidays' for at least five years. The director of the Myanmar Investment Commission, Aung Naing Oo, assuaged Western concerns about labor unrest by stating that Myanmar had banned labor unions in the past and that "Unions in our country would not be so active because we are in an early stage".
The dollars paid by Thailand for natural gas from Burma have not resulted in health or education budgets being increased. The new gas pipeline from Arakan State to Yunnan in China which becomes operational later this year has led to the forced displacement of Kachin and Shan people, and civil society is not free or equipped enough to advocate for the vast profits from this to be channeled into development projects that will benefit Burma's poor.
It looks as if the fears of our students in discussing development in Burma — that it will be business as usual with exploitation of the poor but under the guise of 'democratic' capitalism — are well founded.

Happy New Year!
Amazingly, I'm not burned out from all the holiday sewing and I'm hoping to get a lot done before my maternity leave ends at the end of January. Sigh... the time flies by so fast!
Another Christmas gift is unveiled! I just love these, I used 36(!!) different fabrics for each one (I made 3 balls) in cottons, minkee, and baby wale corduroy. It was a really fun stash project finding which prints to combine.
Before I forget here is the free pattern.
Before sewing (my teaser pic a few posts back):
All done! They are a nice size, about a basketball but soft and light of course. This is the thicker size of the pattern. I had made the thinner version previously and it seems a bit floppy. Not bad, but I wanted to try out thick version. Plus you see the prints better! :)

To: "Ryan North" Dear "Ryan", It has come to my attention that you're using the name "Ryan North". This is fine, only you must understand that I'm the real Ryan North. You can use the name, that's OK, as long as you admit that I'm the real Ryan. You can put your name in quotation marks so that nobody, least of all ourselves, gets confused. Are we cool?
To: Ryan North Mr. ___________, It seems there has been some confusion. It turns out you're not who you think you are. If you really wanted to be me you should have been born a year earlier. Now that that is cleared up, I wish you good luck in finding an new name. The Original Ryan North
To: "Ryan North" Dear "Ryan" I am sorry that you were confused. Although you may have been born first, I hold the trademark by acclaimation of the name "Ryan North". It is akin to Cornflakes being "the original and best" despite the fact that there were cornflakes before Cornflakes. Don't worry though, you can still be Ryan North, only I ask that you put it in quotation marks so that everybody won't confuse you with me. Ryan
To: Ryan North this is ryans youghger brother
To: "Ryan North" hey Ryan's younger brother. I too have a younger brother. His name is victor. I'm sure he doesn't mind you using his name either.
To: Ryan North who are you
To: "Ryan North" Ryan North. I thought that much was clear.
To: Ryan North I'm Ryan North
To: "Ryan North" No, I am. I understand that you might call yourself "Ryan North" and that's cool by me; I understand that. All I want you to recognize is that this Ryan North is the original and best. Maybe I'll ask for royality fees. What kind of fees do you think are fair?
To: Ryan North where are you from
To: "Ryan North" Ontario, Canada. There's a sign outside the province that says "Ryan North lives here. Be aware of high dudeness levels." You?
To: Ryan North is this curtis
To: "Ryan North" No, this is Ryan. Ryan North. From Ontario. Curtis is someone different, believe me. If one thing's for sure, it's that I'm NOT Curtis.
To: Ryan North i don't know you are but I am ryan north
To: "Ryan North" I thought you were Ryan's younger brother.
To: Ryan North I am ryan
To: "Ryan North" Sure. But I'm the Real Ryan. It's like a ghostbusters thing, where there were two cartoon shows called "Ghostbusters" but one was "the REAL Ghostbusters". I'm those Ghostbusters. I'll be Egon. You can be the receptionist if you want.
To: Ryan North
whatt yopu talkin? why don't ya die twitmeister? Ryan's the real one.
To: "Ryan North" I'm afraid I don't quite understand. All I want is for you to stop using my name because others might find it confusing. Here is the deal. You put "ryan north" in quotation marks, as shown, and we have reached an understanding. Cool?
are yopu brain dead ese or did you miss the part where I voted to let ya die, The tag is dime ese, if the name is on the drivers liscence, then yuu fig it out, fuckin spick
To: "Ryan North" I've never been called a spick before. I'm not sure that I like it. Look, all I'm asking is that you put your name in quotation marks so that people won't confuse you with me. Royalities are in consideration, but I'll be sure to keep you posted. Please. All I want is to clear up this confusion once and for all.
ya fuckin twit
To: "Ryan North" Look. Can't we come to some understanding? Using words like "fuck" is tarnishing my reputation. How about you be called from now on "Bryan West" which is a perfectly respectable name in its own right and you can even use it without the quotes. That's Bryan's problem. Cool?
read between the lines bitch
it's not the name game here, thats my tag, birth label, given and sur name, if ya can dig it
Can you Dig It!!
To: "Ryan North" I am quite capable of digging it.
I just don't understand most of what you say.
North, Ryan, Middle Initial, D
can you dig it
To: "Ryan North" North, Ryan, middle initial M. See, there's the problem. One letter difference is still to close for my tastes. So are we cool now, Bryan?
you brain dead, self indulged, pompous, slut
Y'all can't do shit bout it so sit the rid and an rout it
To: "Ryan North" If you won't change your name, will you send me 30 dollars? I am needing the 30 dollars.
I am needing you ass on a platter
To: "Ryan North" All this profanity is hurting the name of Ryan North, fuck. Fuck that. Just fucking stop using the fucking name and we can get this fucking over with. Christ.
hahahahahahahahahahaha man is yo ass uptight why would I stop using my own name brilliance?!?! yeah,. see, thats what I thought
To: "Ryan North" Bryan: I swear I only understand 33% of your message. Perhaps I am receiving segments of another unrelated conversation between two heroin monkeys. Please put your name in quotation marks. Please send me royalities. Do you have a brother named Victor? Cause I think he wants in on the deal too.
bitch!! hahahahaha
To: "Ryan North" Who's the bitch? Victor?
now your reading the same words I am

Utah Colleges
Utah (/ˈjuËtÉ"Ë/ or i/ˈjuËtÉ'Ë/) is a state in the Western United States. It was the 45th state admitted to the Union, on January 4, 1896. Approximately 80% of Utah's 2,763,885 people live along the Wasatch Front, centering on Salt Lake City. This leaves vast expanses of the state nearly uninhabited, making the population the sixth most urbanized in the U.S. The name "Utah" is derived from the name of the Ute tribe and means "people of the mountains" in the Ute language. Utah is bordered by Arizona on the south, Colorado on the east, Wyoming on the northeast, Idaho on the north and Nevada on the west. It also touches a corner of New Mexico.
Utah is the most religiously homogeneous state in the Union. Approximately 60% of Utahns are reported to be members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), which greatly influences Utah culture and daily life.
The state is a center of transportation, information technology and research, government services, mining, and a major tourist destination for outdoor recreation. According to the U.S. Census Bureau's population estimates, Utah was the fastest growing state in the United States as of 2008.St. George, Utah, was the fastest growing metropolitan area in the United States from 2000–2005.

Hi all,
wheeeew!!! Well, first of all I' m sorry for not coming back to you all before, but I suddenly had to go abroad on a business trip, and I couldn' t access properly the net... So, the situation is as follows: I have the order confirmation, the price comes out at 6,15 EUR/pc.; the other piece of news (good or bad, I do not really know...) is that, due to the fact that I placed the order a bit late, not all of the TDAs have the same date code as stated (96), as my source already sold many of them; a big part of these TDAs (around 70%) have a '97' date code. I do not think it makes any difference, but I wanted to be completely fair. So, if anyone of you thinks he does not want these parts any more because of the different date code, he is free to withdraw from this group buy, but I need to know it until Monday, 4th October, 8.00 am. This is my deadline for confirming definitely the order (I put the order 'on hold' because of this issue...). Past this deadline, the ones who havent' t explicitely withdrawn (here on the thread or per e-mail), will receive an e-mail with payment instructions from me. If I will receive many withdrawals, I will be obliged to cancel the group buy (please do not consider this as blackmailing, it' s just that I do not want to have 80 TDAs lying around...). Cheers, Bruno |

Hi Guy's, AFAIC not a thing!!! I've listend to both chips new and older than 96 and the sound was 100% identical. So I wouldn't hesitate in buying them afterall, and for a few Cents more, you'll still have chips for a great price Just my 2 cents Audiofanatic P.S. Maybe the older types are diferent, Jean-Paul knows everything about the TDA1541A and S1 &S2!
Be nice to animals. |

Re: TDA1541A
It sounds like inserting a 10mH coil in series with the squawker of my Klipschorn. Yes not agressive but no bite at all. |
