Mumbai, Dec 18 (IANS) The cold war between the two reigning Bollywood Khans, Shah Rukh and Aamir seems set for a thaw with Shah Rukh appealing to everyone to watch Aamir's film "Ghajini" that releases Dec 25.
A day after proclaiming himself the biggest brand in the country, Shah Rukh, in an apparent change of heart, said at a press conference: "I appeal to all to watch 'Ghajini'."
He was speaking late Thursday at a press conference to introduce to the media the lead actress of his latest release "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi", Anoushka Sharma.
Shah Rukh said: "I want all the people to watch 'Ghajini'. We as people from the industry know how much pain it takes to make a film. We wait anxiously every Friday to see the result of our hard work that we put in to make a film."
"So my best wishes are with every film be it 'Ghajini' or 'Chandni Chowk To China' or any other movie. I want every film to do well," he added.
Shah Rukh said: "During the time when we talk of unity and wish to stay united, we should pray good for everyone."
Rubbishing reports of his rivalry with Aamir, Shah Rukh said, "We share an extremely cordial relationship."
Citing an example, he said when they met at a party recently they were discussing doing a film showing their six-pack abs.
"I was scared as I lost my six packs and wanted Aamir to say no. Luckily, he said he has lost his packs too, so let's give a chance to some other actor," Shah Rukh quipped.
About Aamir, he said, "I think he has changed himself well over the recent period of time. Previously, he did not like to interact much with the public and the media, but now he interacts well and has also developed a sense of humour."
On the inclusion of "Rab Ne.."'s script in the Oscar library, he said, "It feels good as now Indian film scripts are getting recognition in the West."
He said Indian films suffer from lack of good screenplay writing. "The main reason is that we do not have good schools to teach it," he said.
"Screenplay is a science, which needs to be taught where one needs to say many things in least possible words," he explained.
Shah Rukh pointed out the need to change the style of writing screenplays in order to get recognition in the international market.
"Our stories are too lengthy, full of songs and dances which makes it unacceptable for the international audience. So if we change the style and be more compact in story telling our work will be more accepted internationally," he added.
Shah Rukh also lauded the media for their efforts of covering news and being the bridge between stars and the audience.
He said "Initially, I used to be quite embarrassed by the questions being asked by the media as a few were very personal. But later, I realised those questions were not to embarrass me but they really wanted to clarify certain things, which was in good taste."
"Media guys are true to their work as I am to acting," he remarked.
On Wednesday, he said "Rab Ne Bana De Jodi" is doing well and there is no threat to his film from "Ghajini".
"There cannot be any competition with me. I'm the biggest brand in the country. I am always there to endorse for everyone, but the saddest part is that no one is there to endorse for me as there is no brand bigger than me," Shah Rukh said at the launch function of Filmfare magazine's latest issue.
Reacting to Shah Rukh's statement, Aamir said: "He has been speaking about himself for last 20 years so there is nothing new about it."
Aamir is aggressively campaigning for "Ghajini", which will release Dec 25, and the ushers of the multiplexes, where Shah Rukh's film is running, have adopted Aamir's Ghajini-hair style to promote the action-thriller.

America's First Hybrid Yacht Powered By Hydrogen, Wind, & Solar Arrives in New York City
by Brit Liggett, 10/28/11
The Hornblower Hybrid, North America's first hybrid-hydrogen water-worthy vessel, arrived in the Big Apple yesterday to start its new life as a New Yorker. The boat — a sister to the Hornblower Hybrid already afloat in San Francisco — runs on a mix of energy from hydrogen fuel cells, wind turbines, and solar panels that all feed its electric motor. The Hornblower aims to book public and private cruises around New York Harbor (think Circle Line, minus the fumes) starting next year, but starts its run in a water parade today in honor of The Statue of Liberty's 125th birthday.
The Hornblower packs a punch with its 32-kilowatt proton exchange membrane fuel cell by Hydrogenics, two Helix Wind 5-kilowatt wind turbines, and a 20 kilowatt SunPower solar array. The interior boasts recycled and sustainable materials including LEED certified carpet, LED lighting, and countertops made from recycled vodka bottles. It will be available for public cruises for up to 600 people after it completes the United States Coast Guard sea trials and certifications.
"As a concessionaire to the National Park Service, we constantly strive to help conserve and protect the parks we serve," said Terry MacRae, CEO of Hornblower Cruises & Events. "The Hybrid marks a milestone in sustainable maritime transportation. What better time to unveil it to the world than on the anniversary of one of America's most iconic national parks and landmarks?"
The Hornblower will be one quarter of the company's new 4-vessel fleet that will debut in New York next year. For now, while it waits to pass the trials, the boat is available for private bookings. Anyone up for some green cruising?

Horse lasagne sparks new British food scare
Tests confirming lasagne sold under the Findus brand contained up to 100 percent horsemeat sparked a wider food scare in Britain on Friday with authorities ordering urgent tests on all beef products on sale.
The Food Standards Agency said criminal activity was likely to blame as consumers grappled with an escalating horsemeat scandal on the shelves of major British supermarkets.
Findus tested 18 of its beef lasagne products manufactured by French supplier Comigel and found 11 meals containing between 60 percent and 100 percent horsemeat, the FSA said.
FSA director of operations Andrew Rhodes said there were probably two causes.
"The first is gross negligence and the second may be criminal activity, and that's what we are investigating at the moment -- whether somebody has deliberately substituted one product for another," he told BBC radio.
Rhodes stressed there was no evidence that the products posed a risk to public health.
"We are testing a very broad range of products, including those that go to schools and hospitals," he said.
"We are demanding that all the manufacturers, all the retailers, test all of their products to rule out any further contamination.
"It's the responsibility of those making food and selling food to ensure that what's in that food is exactly what it says on the label.
"I can't speculate on what we might find in further testing, but if we do find something then we will be dealing with that very robustly."
FSA chief executive Catherine Brown told the BBC it was "highly likely there has been criminal and fraudulent activity involved".
The FSA said it had ordered further tests on the suspect lasagne for the veterinary drug phenylbutazone, as animals treated with it are not allowed to enter the food chain in Britain.
It is the latest horsemeat-related scare after equine DNA was found two weeks ago in beefburgers in Britain and Ireland, countries where horse meat consumption is generally taboo.
Millions of beefburgers have been removed from sale.
A spokesman for Sweden-based Findus's operations in Britain told AFP that its lasagne products were made by Comigel in Luxembourg. The French firm has supplied beef lasagne for Findus since 2011.
He said the lasagnes were sold in Tesco, ASDA and Morrisons, three of Britain's so-called "big four" supermarket chains.
"Findus asked all suppliers, including Comigel, in light of recent issues with meat, to provide certification about exactly what meat was in their meat products," the spokesman said.
"Last weekend, Comigel said they were not sure about the lasagne," he said, adding that the product was withdrawn on Monday in Britain until tests were carried out, which subsequently showed that there was horsemeat in some samples.
"We don't believe it's a health safety issue, but obviously it's something that is being investigated and its not something pleasant especially for UK customers who feel very sensitive about eating horse."
The consumption of horsemeat is more common in parts of Europe including France and in central Asia, China and Latin America.
Comigel was not immediately able to respond when contacted by AFP.
Two weeks ago, the Food Safety Authority of Ireland had revealed that up to 29 percent of the meat content of some beefburgers was in fact horse, while they also found pig DNA.
The frozen burgers with horse DNA traces were on sale in high-street supermarket chains Tesco and Iceland in both Britain and Ireland, and in Irish branches of Lidl, Aldi and Dunnes Stores.
In a separate scare last week, Britain suspended a company supplying halal meat to prisons after traces of pork were found in meat pies and pasties.

And now the idiots in Phoenix
Those guys carrying guns openly around Obama in Phoenix were either just fools, or else they are conscious tools of the anti-gun forces. Every pro gun American should understand that there are many people out there like them who are pro gun, and many people unlike them out there who are anti-gun, but that there is also a very large group of people out there who are genuinely undecided on this issue or else don't care about the gun issue either way (so far). These are the "swing votes" and which way they go on guns will ultimately win the day. So if you really want gun control forced upon you by your fellow Americans, no better way could be found to do it than by offending the vast majority of undecided or don't care voters into accomodating you. And one way to offend EVERYBODY but a few nuts is by openly carrying guns to an Obama event in what appears to be a conscious effort to bring up the specter of the assainations of the Kennedys and Martin Luther King. How stupid can these people person be?

Your post is confrontational, forgets to use the Return key to make it legible, cites no resources for your stance and is in general not contributing to the dialogue in the thread already going on this issue.

Little bit of difference between an old lady who refused to give up her seat on a bus and someone carrying a firearm. No one in their right mind can make the argument that an old lady was a threat. No matter what your intentions are, you open carry a firearm into a crowded location, people will be paranoid of your actions.
AZ is an open carry state. Now if you walked around a major metro area with a firearm, how long would it take before you are questioned by police? Open carry or not! Now throw in the fact that it is a major political situation with lots of security. Lets be realist people, this is not the 1800s.

In her day, Rosa Park's behavior was socially unacceptable to white people, it was illegal, and people of her race were obviously considered threats because that is where all of the Jim Crow laws came from.
I fail to see the difference, myself. But, then again, I did take an oath to support and defend the Constitution against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC. Minorities and women didn't gain civil rights and equality by sitting back and accepting half-a$$ed compromises such as concealed pistol permits and concealed carry only. They got their rights respected by standing up for them aggressively and publicaly. |

Can we use our keyboard to convey information, instead of stream-of-consciousness thought?
Can we keep these incidents to one thread? Regardless of where, they are one thread. Closed because the OP is almost unreadable. Closed for not having citations to the reported actvivity. Closed because it's a duplicate of an ongoing thread. |

text: I ran into the chair of the Sociology department the other day as I came out of my Calculus class. He stopped me to ask me about a question that had come up in discussion in his class. He wanted to know why it seemed that women were still avoiding majors that were focused on math and the sciences, since he and his students, like one of the responders to my column a few weeks ago, realized that high pay is strongly correlated with the amount of math and science education one acquires in their educational journey.

19 weeks
This plan will help you reach your goals or set a personal record for longer Marathon type events (40-60 miles) and is recommended for riders who have limited or no racing experience. Ideally you would have both a road and mountain bike, but it can be easily completed with just a mountain bike. A heart rate monitor is required. Power is not required, but it is recommended. Typical weeks will be around 10 hours of training (sometimes more), with recovery weeks around 7 hours of training. Most week day works are only 90 minutes or less. This plan will take you through every step and phase of the training season. This plan is designed for those who are new to racing or have never done a long mountain bike race (over 25 miles). Additionally, this plan incorporates running and strength training. The plan starts with a base period where endurance and efficiency are the focus. During this phase, workouts include endurance rides, weight training, running, and efficiency drills. As the program progresses, weights and running are phased out, and more intense intervals begin. After the base period, you will start the build period. During this phase the emphasis will be increasing threshold power and speed. The workouts in the build period are designed to improve your starts, increase your power, and improve your ability to carry speed for longer durations. The plan concludes with a two week taper before your target Marathon event. Throughout the plan you will perform field tests to gauge fitness and there are opportunities to incorporate other events and XC races. As always, custom plans can be created specifically for your needs, contact Pete at www.holdfastcoaching.com

Hope you enjoy it.chad stanton Cope & StickSince I did a video how to fit inset doors, I thought maybe I should take a step backwards and show how to make a simple cope and stick cabinet door.

TEMPTU AIRbrush makeup System - $265 - what is different about this system then previous ones I have seen is that the foundation comes in a little pod - no longer do you have the hassle of having to fill a reservoir with foundation and then clean it out when you want to change colours - these pods just snap in and out, no cleaning required! Not only that, you can switch between foundation, blush and highlighter with absolutely no hassle! It's very easy to use, just snap in the colour pod, adjust the air pressure for desired coverage (dial up for more coverage, down for less) and off you go! The AIRbrush is light so it's easy to maneuver and it kind of feels like cool air blowing on your face, be careful if you're ticklish! You control how narrow or wide the area you cover is by how far you hold the AIRbrush from your face which makes it easy to cover specific areas or hide blemishes. What I really like about airbrushing is how buildable the coverage really is because of all the different ways there are to control the about of foundation that goes on your face. This is totally different from the way regular foundation is buildable since obviously when you are applying a second layer with a brush or sponge you can't help but wipe a bit of the first layer off when you apply the second - with airbrushing you never actually touch your skin so layer 1 stays put! I found that there was almost no learning curve, within 3 uses I had the application down pat and you don't need to worry about learning how to do it, the system comes with a user guide and a how-to DVD, they are also very happy to demonstrate the system for you in person at Sephora if you buy it in-store.
The AIR pods themselves come separately:
AIR pod Foundation - $65 for 2 pods - available in 12 colours: 001 porcelain, 002 ivory, 003 warm ivory, 004 sand, 005 beige, 006 warm beige, 007 natural, 008 honey, 009 golden, 010 almond, 011 chestnut and 012 espresso
I quite like the feel of the foundation itself. It's light and hydrating and with a primer, it has great lasting power on me and a soft looking finish. I am still on my first pod, to be fair, I don't use it everyday - not that it couldn't be for everyday use but it does take longer to do then slapping some foundation on my face with a brush and my mornings usually are pretty rushed so I have been using it more for weekends and nights out. I understand that a pod should last about 2 months with regular use - but I expect that would also depend on what coverage setting you use it at too.
AIR pod Blush - $36 for 1 pod - available in 4 colours: 401 pale pink, 402 soft peach, 403 washed rose and 404 sheer berry
I totally love the way airbrushed blush looks! Having fallen in love with cream blush this summer I am really appreciating this look and again you can really dictate how light or strong the colour is! If you are a pale face like me, check out the sheer berry, it looks gorgeous on light skin!
AIR pod Highlighter - $42 for 1 pod - available in 4 colours - 301 champagne, 302 gold, 303 bronze and 304 copper
I tried the lightest one, champagne and it was a nice highlighter, I will need to try one of the darker colours and see how it works as a bronzer, I expect it would be a nice effect! This would also be good for contouring if that's your thing!
If you are still deciding or can't shell out the bucks for the airbrusher, TEMPTU also has a RETOUCH line with airbush quality formulas and high-definition results. They have a water-enriched silicone formula which allows for a flawless application while moisturizing and conditioning the skin. The system contains Ceramide 3 and an olive oil vehicle, which nourishes and protects the skin, while Vitamins C & E provide anti-oxidant protection.
RETOUCH Foundation - $56 - with a built in brush applicator it perfects, corrects and minimizes imperfections creating a flawless and radiant complexion. Available in 12 colours: 001 porcelain, 002 ivory, 003 warm ivory, 004 sand, 005 beige, 006 warm beige, 007 natural, 008 honey, 009 golden, 010 almond, 011 chestnut and 012 espresso
RETOUCH Blush - $42 - with a built in brush applicator it provides a dose of ultra-natural and dewy colour to cheeks with a smooth and lightweight liquid formula. Available in 4 colours: 401 pale pink, 402 soft peach, 403 washed rose and 404 sheer berry
RETOUCH Highlighter - $48 - with a built in brush applicator it adds an instant and luxurious glow to both face and body. Available in 4 colours: 301 champagne, 302 gold, 303 bronze and 304 copper
RETOUCH Powder - $51 - with a built in brush applicator it's a lightweight, mineral-based formula that rids you of shine and provides natural looking, satin soft skin. Available in 6 colours: 200 translucent, 201 soft beige, 202 warm natural, 203 golden honey, 204 deep tan and 205 rich brown
and if that's not enough you can even tattoo yourself with ADORN - $30 - each kit contains: 9 tattoo design sheets, 20 ADORN Tattoo Application Pads, 1 ADORN Tattoo Setting Powder, 1 ADORN Reusable Clear Bag and 1 ADORN Application Instructions & Care Card.
I haven't tried any of the products from the RETOUCH line, I would love to hear opinions about it if anyone has! And if anyone else has thoughts about the airbrush system, I'd love to hear them too!
TEMPTU also recently launched a website - check out www.lookbookbeauty.com - a behind the scenes look at Fashion Week - where you can see how flawless runway styles are created and how you can do it yourself! They also have Lookbook Beauty events at Sephora where you can choose your look from TEMPTU's previous fashion shows, have your VIP picture taken and have it automatically posted to Sephora's windows and lookbookbeauty.com. You can check out their Facebook page to find upcoming Lookbook Beauty events near you.
If you can't make it to an event you can still submit your own "freestyle" look at home to participate which you can share with friends and have a chance to win a VIP ticket to attend Fashion Week Fall 2011!

Vote Compass
There is a NZ political compass test called Vote Compass, hosted by One News.
Unlike On the Fence which returned some bizarre results, these results seem far far more accurate. It is a way more scientific test. To be fair this is because they had much greater resources.
So well worth doing, and posting your responses. Mine were:
- Nat 66%
- United Future 59%
- Labour 43%
- NZ First 37%
- Maori 37%
- Greens 27%
- Mana 20%
The Conservatives and Internet Party did not co-operate.
So overall it is an excellent resource.
However I was surprised to find out the Electoral Commission is a sponsor of the project, and worse put taxpayer money into developing it.
At the end of the day, this is a site that basically tells people who they should be voting for. It is implicit, not explicit, but when it tells you the parties you most agree with, that is helping those parties.
I think there is no way the Electoral Commission logo should appear on a site, which is implicitly telling people how to vote. It critically undermines their independence and neutrality. I think their involvement is a serious failure of judgment.
Again I think the site is excellent and a great resource. But that is a different issue to the neutrality of the Electoral Commission.

Why Hagel Matters
by Peter Beinart Jan 7, 2013 4:45 AM EST
If the former senator is confirmed over Republican objections as Obamas new secretary of defense, it could signal the beginning of a new era in American foreign policy, says Peter Beinart. If media reports are true, Barack Obama will soon nominate Chuck Hagel to be secretary of defense. If so, it may prove the most consequential foreign-policy appointment of his presidency. Because the struggle over Hagel is a struggle over whether Obama can change the terms of foreign-policy debate. Understanding what that means requires understanding the state of foreign-policy discourse in the two parties today. First, the GOP. Had a Martian descended to earth in January 2003, spent a few days listening to Washington Republicans talk foreign policy, and then returned in January 2013, she would likely conclude that the Iraq War had been a fabulous success. She would conclude that because, as far as I can tell, not a single Republican-aligned Beltway foreign-policy politician or pundit enjoys less prominence than he did a decade ago because he supported the Iraq War, and not a single one enjoys more prominence because he opposed it. From Bill Kristol to Charles Krauthammer to John McCain to John Bolton to Dan Senor, the same people who dominated Republican foreign-policy discourse a decade ago still dominate it today, and they espouse exactly the same view of the world. As for those conservatives who opposed Iraqpeople at places like the Cato Institute and The National Interest who believe that there are clear limits to American military powerour Fox Newswatching, Wall Street Journalreading Martian would have been largely unaware of their existence in 2003 and would remain largely unaware today. Our Martian friend might know somewhat more about Ron Paul than she would have a decade ago. But that familiarity would consist largely of the knowledge that respectable Republicans consider Paul a nut. As intellectual history, this is astonishing. When Democrats took America into Vietnam, protesters rioted in the streets at the partys 1968 convention. Academics like McGeorge Bundy and Walt Rostow became such pariahs after serving in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations that they could not return to their old universities. Prominent pro-war columnists like Joseph Alsop became laughingstocks. Former Vietnam hawks like Zbigniew Brzezinski had to intellectually reinvent themselves to secure government jobs when the Democrats returned to power under Jimmy Carter. The Iraq-era GOP, by contrast, has constructed an intellectual cocoon so hermetically sealed that it has remained uncontaminated by the greatest foreign-policy disaster of the past 30 years. Thats partly the result of the surge, which allowed the Republican foreign-policy establishment to claim, in my view incorrectly, some measure of vindication. Its partly because Iraq required no draft, and thus ordinary Americans never mobilized as dramatically to oppose it, which allowed foreign-policy elites to remain more insulated from shifts in the public mood. Its partly because the institutions where conservative foreign-policy types workplaces like The Weekly Standard, Fox News, and the American Enterprise Institutehave no natural mechanism for reconsidering their view of the world. When Vietnam went south, the intellectual climate at Harvard (where Bundy served as a dean) and The New York Times (which had initially backed the war) changed because Harvard and The New York Times had missions that transcended any particular perspective on American foreign policy. By contrast, hawkish nationalism is so intrinsic to the identity of places like Fox, the Standard, and AEI that abandoning it would threaten their reason for existence. The final reason for the resiliency of this Republican foreign-policy cocoon is the American media, especially the television media, which take an entirely à la carte view of foreign-policy debates. Rarely is anything a commentator or legislator said yesterday about war with Iraq or Afghanistan deemed relevant to his or her credibility today on the subject of war with Iran. On cable, you shake an Etch a Sketch every time you go on air. Thus, the same Republican commentators and politicians who pushed a hawkish line on Iraq moved seamlessly to pushing a hawkish line on Afghanistan, and once that too became a lost cause, to pushing a hawkish line on Iran and everything else. -snip- read more: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/01/07/why-hagel-matters.html

1. Only the Republicans?
Does the quoted statement apply to only Republicans?
"not a single Republican-aligned Beltway foreign-policy politician or pundit enjoys less prominence than he did a decade ago because he supported the Iraq War, and not a single one enjoys more prominence because he opposed it. "
Isn't there a Democrat that President Obama could appoint? |

4. I wouldn't be surprised if David Ignatius is a Republican.
Likewise, I wouldn't be surprised if "Morning Joe" is a Republican.
I would be surprised if no Democrat combat vet in Washington, DC could be found to "allow us to draw down quicker in Afghanistan." Obama could have started his search with the former Marine Generals who opposed the war in Afghanistan. At least one of them has to be a Democrat. |

Response to Reply #5 7. Hillary's "bad judgment" in voting for the Iraq War Resolution is not a small thing--neither is her recently repeating Bush's line that "we are safer now." No, Hillary, we are not safer now. Bush's occupation of Iraq has undeniably created more jihadists and made us less safe.

8. Yes. Your comment is a distraction from why Hagel would be a good Sec Def whom HRC would support.
On the issue of military force, Hagel is more dovish than many Republicans and perhaps some Democrats. He opposed the Iraq war, but so did Obama (then an Illinois state senator), and, as is clearer now than ever, they were right. More disturbing to some conservatives, he opposed President Bushs 2007 troop surge in Iraq. The surge and its accompanying shift in strategy did help significantly tamp down the violence in Iraq and allowed, five years later, for a dignified U.S. exit. In that sense, it worked. But it only bought time for the Iraqi political factions to settle their differences. (Thats all that Gen. David Petraeus, the strategys architect, ever claimed it could do.) And now its clear that the factions didnt want to settle their differences, and so ethnic clashes have persisted, and the issues that divide the factions are no closer to settlement. Therefore, was Hagel so wrong? And, for what its worth, Obama, now-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and the entire Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time opposed the surge, too. Are Hagels critics denouncing any of them? Again, theyre really going after Obama.

Hagel can cut the size of the military in the same way that Nixon could go to China.

3. Hagel voted for the Iraq War authorization. Articles like this one imply he opposed it, but he
supported it. He voted for the invasion. The war went on for 5 years before Chuck cast a single vote against it. Let us at least be honest about that. He bought into the faked intelligence and supported the rush for shock and awe.

12. He doesn't believe this now. And if we can forgive John Kerry and Hillary Clinton for essentially
the same crime, we can forgive Hagel. It's a good choice. He's a Republican who agrees with the Obama policy that the wars should come to an end. And because he's a Republican with these defense policies, it nullifies the argument that is often made against Democrats regarding defense. In other words, he's a Republican who can sell cutbacks in spending on defense and the military. And because he's also a decorated war hero, it'll be easier to sell that to the American people.

10. Excellent article!
Thanks for posting. From the article:
My point is not that because the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have proved disastrous, war with Iran would too. Every war is different, and I wrote a whole book about how difficult it is to predict, on the basis of one conflict, how the next will turn out. But a Hagel nomination will ensure that when Obama officials discuss a third Middle Eastern war, the ghosts of Iraq and Afghanistan sit at the table. And while that wont make American military action impossible, it will raise the bar. What the Republican foreign-policy establishment fears is that with Hagel as secretary of defense, it will be impossible for Obama to minimize the dangers of war with Iran, as George W. Bush minimized the dangers of war with Iraq. |

18. Not just 10 years...
The neocons got their start in the 70s as Defense Hawks promoting the most expansive and paranoid speculation on Soviet capabilities and intentions, to the extent of arguing that lack of any proof of their claims was just evidence of how skilled the Soviets were at deception.
They've spent their entire careers being wrong, yet still being rising stars. Only George W. Bush has a more impressive record of failing upward. |

Here's another article about Chuck Hagel's fearlessness of standing up for what he believes in.. "Chuck Hagel at the VA" He was told that he should join the team opposing Lin's design. If he did not join the opposition, he would be out of work. Friends at the White House would see to it that he would be fired. Most people would have caved. Hagel did not.
There are a few examples of stunning courage in Washington. Most are unheralded, this was one. Hagel said, "I serve at the pleasure of the President. If he fires me for supporting a design for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, so be it." Hagel never got fired. The opponents left, probably dazed at the outcome. Hagel went on to serve President Reagan in other capacities throughout the Presidency, and eventually, Nancy Reagan joined the National Sponsoring Committee for The Wall. A compromise was reached with the opposition, and in March 1982 we hosted an emotional groundbreaking. Hagel was a speaker. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/12/chuck-hagel-at-the-va/266545/ |

Re: Changing style in Plot
Thomas , I have no idea at all how to do this. But perhaps you could define two plots, one of x from 0 to 4 with thickness 0.1, one of x from 4 to 10 with thickness 0.2 and use Show to overlay them ? Or define two functions, one with domain 0-4, the othe 4-10, and proceed from their.

Jordan's HOH blog is posted on the CBS website
"Just a little faith and both your feet leave the ground"
Looking at Jordan lately, she would make a great Sookie on True Blood if the actress needs to leave the show!!
Yup, with donuts!!
I'm asking this here as you guys are the pros, is there anywhere we can see footage of Jordan going into the Jury House?
I asked this in the Jeff thread but again you guys may know here, did he ever take Jordan to Hawaii.
I'm really pulling for Rachel.
No there isn't any jury house footage they don't have cameras in there... The only jury house stuff we get is what we see on the show... I look for them to show Kalia's and Jordan's arrival at the jury house on this weeks live finale show.. Since they haven't shown either of those yet..
As far as we know Jeff didn't take Jordan to Hawaii because he cashed in the trip he won in Season 11..
Last edited by sonii82; 09-12-2011 at 12:40 PM.
Wonder why he would do that?
I have been reading online alot of stuff about them breaking up when this is over etc?
I don't think so ld. In Jeff's interview with Julie he said they were going to discuss taking their relationship to the next level this summer, but then came BB, once again.
I hate when the cops throw me in the back of the squad car ....like they didnt hear me call shotgun.
Boy (n) : Noise with dirt on it.
Interview with Jordan on another site has her answering a question about "what comes next" and she mentions that they will talk about marriage soon. <3
I never understood that concept, the idea of talking about marriage "soon." If you're thinking about talking about marriage, you're thinking about marriage. If you're thinking about marriage you're either thinking its a good idea or a bad idea. What's the point of making a date in the future to talk about marriage? I get the idea of waiting to get married until some event(s) happens, like finishing school, or saving money, etc. But, to me, if you've been together a long time (and you're adults), and you're talking about talking about getting married, but you're putting off the talk about getting married, someone doesn't want to get married. Okay, that's confusing.
But, seriously, what will be different in their relationship "later" that will facilitate a discussion about getting married?

Truck Nightmare
Truck Nightmare I had too many problems with this truck, bought it new. A year after I bought
this vehicle while driving the car stop, everythig shut down, I could not even steer the dumb car almost cause a major
accident. Took it to the dealer they could not believe the car stop working. The second year problems with the
computerise sensors. Third year fuel pump. Now I am having problems with the warnig signals, that is a sign that the
car is going to stop one more time, back to the vicious cycle. Now I am taking it to a local machanic that I found in
your web site wish me luck. The only reason why I have not trade this truck is because It is almost paid for and
I don't want to be in debt with a new car loan. Driver beware; well with the gas prices I guess nobody will be buying
this truck.

Investment in equities is generally about long-time savings, trying to maximise gains over five, 10 or more years. And despite what the salesmen say, the truth is that changes of government in the UK have historically had little long-term effect on stock market performance. The real issue for investors is not the end of the tax year, or the election, but to develop a strategy for long-term growth.
Few of us have the time, money or ability to assemble a portfolio of shares and other investments to provide good long-term growth prospects with a low risk. But this can readily be accomplished by investing in managed funds such as unit trusts. Many heavily advertised products concentrate on UK investments, particularly the tracker funds that follow the performance of the London stock market. But many City fund managers who look after big pension funds will tell you that the ideal portfolio is internationally diverse, to benefit from overseas gains. Various countries are at different stages of the economic cycle; not all stock markets go up at the same time.
Picking a relatively low-risk fund with long-term growth prospects can be difficult, with a choice of more than 150 unit trusts. Just as in the UK, the 75 per cent rule seems to operate: over a given period, three-quarters of fund managers fail to beat the overall performance of the stock-market index. There are, however, one or two international growth unit trusts that now offer a significant amount of international index tracking - and since they offer portfolios with more than half their holdings in the European Union, investors can use them in their general PEPs, the most tax-efficient means of investment.
Kleinwort Benson Global Equity Trust is one such unit trust. Launched just over two years ago, it has more than 800 investments spread around the world. It aims to have half its holdings in the UK and the rest overseas, taking the average life fund as its benchmark. Minimum investment is pounds 1,000, or pounds 50 a month. The managers make an initial 5.5 per cent charge, reduced to 3.5 per cent for PEPs, and a 1 per cent annual charge. The fund currently has 49 per cent of its portfolio in the UK, with overseas investments split between 15 per cent in mainland Europe, 10 per cent in the US, 12.5 per cent in Japan, and 10 per cent in the Far East and Australia. Half the remainder is invested in emerging markets via UK investment trusts; the rest is in cash.
Paul Kelly, the fund manager, takes a top-down approach, looking at world-wide economies to decide asset allocation. "We do not look at individual stocks," says Mr Kelly. "We track indices. Our target is to match the central index of the areas we invest in. This includes the FTSE 350 in the UK, the S&P 500 in the US, Eurotrack 100 for Europe, the Nikkei 300 in Japan, and so on." He adds: "Because the fund is investing in core holdings in each country and does not have a high turnover of stocks, it keeps dealing costs relatively low."
With such a wide spread of investments, Kleinwort believes it offers investors a low-cost means of buying into a highly diversified portfolio.
The fund also employs tactical asset allocation, used to invest for only a month or two when the manager sees interesting short-term opportunities. Using the futures market, it enables the fund to switch quickly and cheaply between different economies, normally the UK, US and Japan. Costs are only pounds 2 a contract worth pounds 100,000, compared with much higher charges for buying and selling shares. So if the manager thinks, for example, that the US market looks cheap, he can sell futures in the British index to buy them in the S&P 500.
These investment techniques were originally developed by Kleinwort Benson for use in its successful institutional investment management business, looking after pension funds for large companies and local authorities.
Funds such as KBUs Global Equity Trust are firmly in the long-term growth category and are not for investors looking for a high income. Since launch the fund has grown by 37.5 per cent, including income being reinvested, and 7.8 per cent over the last year, which is satisfactory rather than spectacular. Its aim is to outperform its competitors over five and 10 years. With a highly diversified portfolio and advanced fund management methods, Kleinwort believes that investors will see less volatility, as well as benefiting from long term growthn

We are LOCAL Residents and Businesses Campaigning Against The Mini Holland Road Closures
E17Streets4All Founder Paul Sheckleton Has Passed Away
The Disadvantaged Stand United Against Mini Holland Road Closures
Resist the Draconian Road Closures - Lambeth Residents Did and Won
Mini Holland Petition No. 1
While E17Streets4All supports a number of aspects of Mini Holland, for now we ask you to:
Sign The Stop Mini Holland in Walthamstow Petition
This is due to the draconian road closures, some of the issues and problems listed here, and also as a protest against the council's clear anti-car policies.
Mini Holland Petition No. 2
Dear Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan:
Re-open Roads Closed under Waltham Forest Mini-Holland Scheme Petition
Click link above to sign petition which will be sent to the Mayor of London. Thank you to Christine Greig for starting this petition.
Visit us at Facebook
Visit us on Twitter
Emergency Services
We are constantly led to believe that Mini Holland has no affect on Emergency Services. The issue is not that Emergency Services can no longer reach any roads affected by road closures – indeed they can. The real issue is the road closures mean Emergency Services have to take longer detours – frequently on grid-locked roads. Watch this video and see for yourself the affects delays have on Emergency Services – then imagine these delayed fire engines were trying to save you and you loved ones. Don't be fooled by those who claim Mini Holland has no affect on Emergency Services. One day this will be a matter of life and death. Enough with dogma – we urge the council to stop putting lives at risk and reverse the draconian road closures. Many thanks to YouTuber MiniHollandE17, who sees the choas caused by Mini Holland all too regularly, for the video.

From Mexico to Brazil, how is the Ukraine crisis playing in Latin America?
Reactions in the region have ranged from name calling to accusations of Russian meddling to observations of declining world powers.
• The American University Latin America blog can be read here. The views expressed are the author's own.
Latin America's low-key reaction to events in Ukraine and Crimea suggest that opinion-makers are distracted by domestic issues and perceive such far-off developments as having little bearing on the region.
The Brazilian press has noted the "pathetic and weak" leadership of the United States and Europe and said Russia was creating a "Soviet Union light" with nationalist rather than communist undertones. Commentators have criticized Russia's propagandistic narrative, in which criticism of Russian expansionism and interventionism is countered with examples of the American and European bloody history. They have said [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's motives are a clear and explicit demonstration of power, where Crimea is a non-negotiable territory. The [Brazilian press] has variously called President Obama's diplomatic responses "flaccid" and his speech about President Putin's motives an "unintelligible declaration." Prior to Putin's military moves, [Brazilian] President Dilma Rousseff asserted that the protests in Venezuela are different from those in Kiev, where an "institutional rupture" is taking place, and she has been relatively quiet since. There have been minor considerations on how a European crisis affects the Brazilian economy, since Europe absorbed 20 percent of Brazil's exports last year.
The Mexican press has loudly criticized Putin's actions. Commentators have described Russia as a "monstrous creature who combines state capitalism and a corrupt oligarchy." They have accused Putin of threatening world peace over strategic interests. They note that Putin holds considerable leverage over Europe (via its supply of vital energy resources) and the United States (in negotiating over Syria and Iran), and they say that he appears likely to get his way in Crimea. Some have denounced Putin for attempting to turn the clock back to Russia's imperialist days, and describe this tendency alongside the United States' inability to shape events as signs that both are declining world powers.
Both Brazil and Mexico have a full plate of domestic issues monopolizing political attention. In Brazil, the middle class and elites remain upset about corruption surrounding the ruling [Workers Party], and many Brazilians continue to seethe over the scale of public expenditures that have constructed soccer stadiums rather than solid institutions for providing education and health. The cost of preparations for the World Cup, set to start in three months, as well as the fortunes of the Brazilian team in that crucial tournament, have great implications for the fate of the Rousseff administration. Insofar as international issues reach the national agenda, Rousseff appears most concerned with domestic political developments in Venezuela, where UNASUR has offered to play a mediating role. In Mexico, President Peña Nieto and the media appear seized with security issues – ranging from the spectacular arrests of drug traffickers to the troubling emergence of "self-defense" groups – and the president's ambitious economic reform agenda. The Cold War-style East-West maneuvering over Ukraine hasn't registered deeply in either country, or elsewhere in Latin America.
The Christian Science Monitor has assembled a diverse group of Latin America bloggers. Our guest bloggers are not employed or directed by the Monitor and the views expressed are the bloggers' own, as is responsibility for the content of their blogs. To contact us about a blogger, click here.

Patti Smith and her band closed 2011 with her 14th New Year's Eve show at The Bowery Ballroom. She told the sold out crowd this would be her last New Years Eve show, ending her 14-year run that also included shows on her Dec. 30 birthday.

George Schroeder: Quarterback Thomas the key to Oregon's BCS Championship run EUGENE, Ore. -- The very first possession ended with an interception. Oregon had roared downfield and appeared ready to score when Darron Thomas dropped back, fired -- and suddenly he was racing downfield, trying to catch a defender. It wasn't what anyone had hoped to see from Oregon's new starting quarterback.

Capistrano Unified approves 32 layoffs
SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO – Capistrano Unified School District trustees on Wednesday approved laying off 32 nonteaching staffers as they await word on the state budget.
The trustees also voted to eliminate 29 vacant positions. The hardest hit will be teachers' aides. Managers and teachers so far have avoided layoffs this year.
Ten bilingual workers who assist teachers and help communicate with students' families will receive pink slips.
Their salaries are funded with Economic Impact Aid, a state program designed to assist students whose first language is not English.
It is one of dozens of "categorical" funds, money legally restricted to specific uses. In January, Gov. Jerry Brown proposed eliminating categorical programs to give local school districts more control over how the money is spent.
Called the Local Control Funding Formula, the proposal is part of a larger effort by Brown to redo the way the state allocates funding. It would direct more money to districts with low-income children, a change some school districts in affluent areas oppose.
"Once we have certainty which comes with the state budget adoption we can determine if the position(s) need to be eliminated or not, but until then, we must take this approach," Assistant Superintendent of Personnel Services Jodee Brentlinger wrote in an email.
Otherwise, she said, the district's general fund – which faces a big deficit next year – would have to absorb the costs.
The employees will be laid off at the end of the school year and must receive written notice 60 days ahead of time, according to state law.
Those being laid off are classified workers represented by the California Schools Employees Association.
Its local chapter at Capistrano Unified represents about 1,300 people who agreed to more than $7 million in concessions, mostly from furlough days, when the district adopted this year's budget.
The district estimates it has slashed spending by $150 million since the 2007-08 school year. It has laid off classified employees every year since to help balance the budget, Brentlinger said.
"This will be the first year since 2007 the district will not be recommending classified layoffs for budget-reduction purposes. Positions to be eliminated are due to the lack of certainty with existing categorical funding sources," a staff report states.
The district's latest financial forecast shows an additional $20 million will have to be cut in 2013-14, but that could change when the governor releases a revised budget proposal in mid-May.
The workers will be notified Monday, Brentlinger said. Until then, the affected schools will not be disclosed, she said.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper is "scared" to reopen the abortion debate, an organization planning a rally on Parliament Hill says.
"The prime minister is scared. He's being very cowardly in not reopening the abortion debate," Campaign Life Coalition youth spokeswoman Alissa Golob said a day ahead of the March for Life, where thousands are expected to call on the federal government to ban abortions in Canada.
She said most Canadians want some restrictions on abortion, and feel that way because of scientific advancements.
"Anyone born after 1988 is lucky to be alive; we are the survivors of a generation that kills more than 100,000 pre-born children every year. Young people are realizing that abortion kills a human being and hurts women," Golob said.
This year's keynote speaker for the march is Steven Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute. Having done research in China, he warns sex selective abortion -- terminating only girl fetuses in favour of boys -- is happening in Canada.
"We have bans in the U.K. and most European countries, abortions can be carried out for medical reasons but is not permitted on the grounds of sex," Mosher said. "We have a form of discrimination that is practiced in Canada that kills. It is the ugliest form of misogyny."
Conservative MP Stephen Woodworth's motion to have a scientific committee determine when human life begins has been shunned by Harper and most MPs, but has added fresh fuel to the ongoing abortion debate.
