Carlisle Palisades Vineyard Petite Sirah 2014
Category: | Red Wine |
Varietal: | Petite Sirah |
Region: | California » Napa Valley |
Producer: | Carlisle |
Alcohol: | 15.4% |
Product Description
Wowie zowie! Hands down the finest Petite Sirah we have ever produced. This wine is special. Black as night, the hi-toned aromas of blueberries, blackberries, and flowers explode from the glass. What a sniff! Full-bodied, flavors of blackberry and cassis completely saturate the palate. Plenty of tannin in the long finish but buffered by the copious fruit. Breathtaking! I enjoy Pets young for their power and fruit but this will also age well. Enjoy young with a decant or let it age until 2032. Who knows, it may even make it to 2042!
Wine Advocate
I'll just briefly summarize the 2014s. It was the earliest vintage ever for Mike Officer and probably he'll beat that early harvest record in 2015. In this case, he was finished by October 6, which was a first, and it will be interesting to see if he eclipses that in 2015, which was looking even earlier. The production levels were relatively abundant for Mike Officer and the wines fruit-forward, although softer and less reserved than some of the 2013s. While not quite as opaque in color, they are loaded with fruit, supple and luscious. The only white wine, the Grüner Veltliner Steiner Vineyard, makes an appearance in 2014, and it's another beauty - it's crisp and the only wine in bottle. The other wines all stood out and will, no doubt, merit outstanding ratings across the board for their intensity, richness, and full-bodied power. If you already know what Mike Officer does, and the style of his wines, you won't be disappointed in his 2014s. You may even like them as much as any vintage, given the fact that this year shows a lot of up-front fruit and charm.

Painting even one little part of 16 Shermans takes a while but after only a couple of steps they look pretty good. So far I've undercoated them with GW Chaos Black spray, added a basecoat of BF British Armour Late (spray) and a layer of GW Nightshade (Black) wash - using the BF Video tutorials as a guide I also tried to clean away as much of the wash as possible from the flatter areas.
Next step - probably Sunday night - will be drybrushing Russian Uniform and the detailing e.g. ammo boxes, tracks, tools, machine guns and sand bags.

The Barkley/Sanchez comparisons are garbage. Sanchez started 1 season and some change at USC. There wasn't enough film on him to fully evaluate him.
Barkley started 4 seasons and what he showed this season, with all of the adversity he went through, has shown me that he has all the physical tools that Sanchez has, but he has a lot more confidence and mental toughness where Sanchez lacks.
As far as Geno Smith, I don't have an opinion on him yet. But this is what I think:
Philly is not drafting him with Vick and Foles already on the roster and holes everywhere else.
Cleveland isn't drafting him. They are bluffing to attempt to trade down because they dont have a 2nd round pick this year.
It's absolutely possible that AZ passes on Smith in the first with Stanton already signed. It's logical to think they will take the tackle from OK, Johnson and then roll the dice with Barkley with their second pick.
Buffalo will either take Smith or Nassib. They could take Warmack to replace Levitre and then take Nassib in the second.
So if Smith is there at 9 and we pass, he is going to free fall until someone of the teams mentioned, or Jax trades back up into the first.
If we like him, maybe this is why Idzik is holding out for a 2013 1st rounder for Revis.
The odds are stacked against EVERY QB that has ever come out.
What I do not understand in this thread is all of the "guilt by association" going on here. That's foolish.
So Barkley is coming out of USC. The same college Sanchez came from. WTF does that have to do with Barkley?
Barkley is a different kid. He's NOT Sanchez.
You can't go wrong picking a kid that has played in a pro style offense in college. At the end of the day, you do the best that you can to know how this kid will develop. Then I'd say most CS's expect the worst and hope for the best. It's a crap shoot. All of these prospects are complete and total gambles.
Now there may be better prospects even in this years draft. If that's the case then that is fine. But to hate Barkley because he played at the same college where our failure of a QB went?
That's bush league at best.
Were you born YESTERDAY? Who gives a flying f*ck about any of those QB's? Are you asking me to?
Please tell me you are intelligent enough to know that Matt Barkley is NOT anyone of those QB's you are mentioning?
In fact, stack them up. Name every QB in their history that has sucked.
Who gives a f*ck? I certainly don't.
How many made the superbowl? aside from the flash in the pan Palmer, how many made the playoffs more than twice in their careers? Yes there are individuals who deserve credit on their own merit BUT that long a streak of ineptitude does give more room for pause than another school with that many QB's selected.
Last edited by Jets_Penguin; 03-24-2013 at 07:58 PM.
How many times must I explain this to so many stuck in first gear?
Who gives a f*ck about all of these things that you are stating?
Does ANY of this mean Barkley will not learn how to read defenses? Does any of that mean that the pro game will not slow down for Barkley? Does any of this mean he won't have a good pocket presence?
No to all of it.
Like I said already, you can do all of the research you'd like and it still will not make a damn bit of difference. You never know when that franchise QB will come along. It's a risk that every team must take.
Tom Brady anyone?
If Arizona is saying that they definitely wont draft him then guess what? They really are going to draft him and they simply want him there at 7. They don't want to have to move up or bargain with the Lions or Browns to stop another team from jumping them to get him. Does Arizona need a QB? Duh - you can bet they are gonna pick him. Jets or Bills would have to move up to 5 or 6 to get him. The Jets might be acting like they want him so they can determine if Buffalo or Arizona wants him and the Jets if they do want him might need a trade in place with #5 or #6. Possibly maybe the Jets don't want him but they want Buffalo to lose picks and have to move up to get him.
Who really knows at this point. I don't trust a thing that I hear right now. Rex Ryan could of told Jarvis Jones to have a bad workout because he guaranteed to pick him at 9 but if I'm Jones theres no real guarantee so it would of been a mistake. Nobody knows till the pick is in.
Key word being SELECTED. Just because those other schoolQB's were selected, does that mean they turned out to be great?
This streak of ineptitude that you talk about is completely irrelevant. They are all individuals. You never know when one QB may have the inner abilities (something that cannot be taught) to become a great QB.
If it were as easy as avoiding certain schools, I guess everyone would have franchise QB's by now?
This is so stupid. The stigma that USC and the PAC 12 gets for its QB's is just so ridiculous.
Jamarcus Russel, Blaine Gabbert, & Tim Tebow, Greg McElroy- Recent SEC QB's, everybody's favorite conference to circlejerk over. Stafford has been pretty good but throwing to Calvin Johnson definitely helps and he hasn't been that consistent. That 09 class has just sucked so far. Cam is another SEC guy who just hasn't been consistent and can still flame out. This conference hasn't had a truly GREAT QB come from it since the Mannings.
Conference or competition means absolutely nothing if the quarterback is a solid/great prospect. Luck and Rodgers came from the Pac 12. RG3 came from the Big 12 (same as Geno). Kaepernick came from the Mountain West Conference.
Matt Barkley is not Sanchez, Booty, Leinart, Marinovich, Palmer, etc. He is just Matt Barkley. Projecting whether or not he is a solid pro should have absolutely nothing to do with his school and it's former players.

Why does this logic only pertain to Barkley? Why not draft any other QB -- even a Sanchez clone -- since "anything can happen"? Why waste a high draft pick when we can get the next Kurt Warner from Walmart?
USC has given NO reason to believe what you see on the field will translate to the NFL. Odds are it will some day, but to argue that 2013 is that day is hopeful at best . . .
Actually it's not about easy or hard, it is about trends and statistics. The same trends and statistics that we all have been using for years to formulate opinions. If you want to believe that Barkley is going to be the FIRST great QB to come out of USC then you have a right to that opinion because you form it on your personal beliefs. That doesn't however discount the yet to be broken streak of failed QB's from that school. If anything is irrelevant it is other schools since the subject if USC.
The point is that USC is a high profile school, run a pro-style offense and plays just enough weaklings along the course of a season to pad the QB's stats and get drafted pretty high. The QB's coming out of that school look like they have a better than average chance to be successful but thus far NONE have been better than average..............Not a few, not half, NONE.
That is what we are all basing our opinions on. Sanchez is just the latest example but really has nothing to do with the conversation other than he played here.
With the mentality of this board, we will need to pass on Bridgewater because Brohm and Browning Nagle went to Louisville.

I think I have a pretty good life, I have a great son who live with me part time and I cherish the relationship we have. I'm a kind-hearted guy with a soft spot for the underdog. I try to be sensitive to the feelings of others and careful my words are tempered with compation. I have a strong sense of who I am and have nothing to prove to others. I believe a man is defined by integrity, honesty and a willingness to stand up for his beliefs, even if that means he stands-alone. Having said that, I don't take myself to seriously and love to laugh especially at myself. I have learned to cook fairly well (having a teenaged son in the house sometimes) and I keep my home clean. I'm also pretty handy around the house. I enjoy outdoors activeities like camping, dirt bikes, riding Harleys, water or snow skiing or just a walk along the beach with someone special. I also like indoor activities like going to a movie or play, or just hanging out at the house with a nice bottle of wine and some good conversation. I love to travel and see new places and a weekend get away is always fun. I workout regularly to stay in shape but I'm not a gym rat or a health nut. There are so many things to do here and so many things to see. I enjoy my career; I like hard work and continue to learn more everyday. I also like to play, it seems like it brings balance to my life. Things seem to be going my way with the exception of a meaningful relationship.

Are you ready to rock and roll tonight? Your only other options are to "Gangnam Style" or just swagger around in circles. Either way, you should definitely tune in to tonight's Grammy Nominations Concert Live.
We know what you're thinking: Is LL Cool J even relevant anymore? (Probably not.) Or, if Taylor Swift is hosting, is she also singing? (Some of us hope not.) But don't let the strange combination of co-hosts stop you from watching. It's still bound to be a fun night of music.
The show has a whole slew of awesome talent set to perform. The live concert will host a wide range of musical acts, including songs from Maroon 5 and Ne-Yo. In the country spectrum, cutie Dierks Bentley will perform, as will Hunter Hayes. The new, young sibling trio, The Band Perry, will also perform one of their awesome country hits. Then, on the pop side of things, Fun. will perform with Janelle Monae. That means time for "We are Young!" Plus, The Who will rock out for all the dads and classic-rock fans who tune in. Basically, the Grammy Nominations Concert Live offers a little something for everyone.
As for nominee predictions, we expect most of the performers (and at least one co-host) to be up for an award or two. Country music fans are no doubt also hoping for a resurgence of Kenny Chesney's name on the list now that he's finally put out another album. Gotye was all over the radio this year, so we expect a nod to him, too. Mumford and Sons' first album took a while to hit small and medium markets, but the first single from their sophomore record has their name splattered everywhere. While we won't hold our breath, nominations for new folk-rock bands like The Lumineers and Of Monsters and Men would also be well-deserved. They, too, have flooded the airwaves.
Whatever your musical preference, whomever your favorite musician, the Grammy Nomination Concert Live will surely have something for you to enjoy. Have fun!

Location: Half way down Harbor Steps, between 1st and Western
Atmosphere: Noisy. You have to shout across the table to be heard. Maybe I'm just getting old.
Service: Efficient, knowledgeable, slightly sarcastic.
Food: For a Brit like me, homely. Good range of appetizers and simple but tasty main courses. The special was Alaskan Salmon, simply grilled. I had the roasted half chicken. No need for sides.
Drink: Slightly over-priced wine list but not ridiculous
Diners: Pre-symphony crowd (it's close to Benaroya Hall), after work drinkers (good long bar).
Price: Mid 20's for an entree. Good value considering quality and portion size.

Datteri Ripieni {Cheese stuffed dates with Prosciutto}
I love quick and easy appetizers. I also like to shake things up. This recipe fits both of those criteria. Datteri Ripieni are Italian for stuffed Dates. These are stuffed with a creamy and luscious combination of goat cheese and mascarpone cheese. With some herbs thrown in for good measure. This is a sweet, savory and salty little package that will tickle your taste buds.
To make my job even easier I like to purchase the dates that are already pitted. Their holes are just sitting there begging to be filled with cheesy goodness. And who am I to disappoint them ; ) You can even prepare these in advance, pop them into your fridge and pull them out about 20 minutes or so before guests arrive so they can come up to temperature. Easy peasy entertaining {is there any other kind ; ) not in my house LOL}
I will warn you, they're quite addictive. You don't even want to think about halving the recipe, oh no tee hee.
What you'll need:
2 ounces goat cheese – room temperature
2 ounces mascarpone cheese – room temperature
1/4 cup fresh basil – finely chopped
8 ounces dates – pitted
8 slices of prosciutto – sliced into strips that are wide enough to wrap around your dates
Adapted from: "Giada at Home"
What to do:
1. Into a bowl mix together the cheeses, basil. Season with salt and pepper. Place cheese mixture into a piping bag fit with a long slender tip.
2. Pipe the cheese filling into each date. Wrap each date with a slice of prosciutto. Secure with a toothpick.
Buon Appetito!

I recently went on a short trip and with my trusty iPad in tow, I had
a decision to make about what to read while on vacation. I started off
reading a book that I'm doing for a book discussion…a literary, dense
book that I soon realized would not fly for vacation reading. Even if
vacation is not taken on or at the beach, "beach read" type books are
always a must for my travels. To clarify, a "beach read" is a not a
book set AT the beach…but rather a FUN book…a guilty pleasure…a book you
would not like to be caught reading by scholarly family or friends.
people read romances as their "beach reads," but I often read "chick
lit" on vacation and in that genre, Madeleine Wickham always satisfies.
Her books are not completely mindless (like some chick lit) and she
writes strong female characters with enough problems so the reading is
fast, but not too many problems to bog down the story. LIGHT is the key
in a beach read and The Wedding Girl did not disappoint. The
characters were superficial (in a good way) and the story was breezy.
Wickham (who also writes under the pen name Sophie Kinsella) is one of
my favorite vacation writers.
But, this time, I also read a thriller. I've read Joy Fielding in the past and liked her…but The Wild Zone was completely different from her other books.
It is less thriller and more character study. Not that this was too
heavy for vacation…it was just unexpected. I don't expect all thrillers
to get into the psychological aspects of their characters… especially
with authors not known for those deeper character developments. When I
read the other Fielding books (Missing Pieces and Charley's Web) they were solid thrillers, but not anything too intense or emotional. The Wild Zone
caught me off-guard with its slow-paced storyline, not to mention its
surprise twist ending. For Fielding die-hards, be prepared for an
unusual novel. For those unfamiliar with this author and with thrillers
in general, this might be a good book to try and get your toes wet with
another genre.

A Killing in the Hills by Julia Keller
This debut novel from Chicago Tribune journalist (and Pulitzer Prize winner) Julia Keller is gripping from page one…reeling the reader in with clear depictions of small town life, adolescence, and brutal, senseless violence. Starting out shortly before a seemingly random shooting, the story introduces us to a mother and daughter who are both at odds with each other. The mother, Bell, works too much, overly dedicated to her job as prosecuting attorney for a small, impoverished county in West Virginia. And her daughter Carla is knee-deep in full-blown teenage rebellion. Actually, that rebellion sets the stage for the story…while waiting for her mother to pick her up from mandatory "anger management" class, Carla witness one of the most violent acts in Acker's Gap, WV. After this, Carla becomes even more of a problem…not only is she still a behavior problem but now she also has upsetting, conflicting issues with what she witnessed. Bell, in addition to dealing with Carla and with the hunt for the murderer(s), also has other issues contending for space in her frantic world. Keller, as in her Chicago Tribune articles, truly does have a way with words… bringing characters, places and scenarios to life with true, vivid imagery. This was one of the best written mysteries I've read in ages! Hopefully, Acker's Gap, along with Bell, Carla and the other colorful characters of this small town, will be back soon.

I tell ya one thing, I could not be a woman in the times we live in now. Men seem to have absolutely no respect for women at all. It's not just the looking its the ogling.
Women are human beings and I think they should be able to walk down the fuckin sidewalk without being harassed.
If I was a woman I'd mace every fuckin last one of em. You stare at me for too long, you'll never look at anyone again.
Is that too much???

Thanks. I've always thought it was incredibly disrespectful but had no where to say it besides to my friends. Great to have this forum. Glad to try to help men see the error in their ways. Thanks for the comment
ReplyDelete LOL at "I'd mace every last one of them." Unfortunately, as a woman, I can say that it's an even deeper problem than just the ogling. Men make you feel guilty or like a bitch when you don't respond to their "hello"s or cat-calls or what have you. We're taught to be polite but it's hard enough to just stay safe. Plus, I'm pretty sure if I maced someone just for looking or cat-calling, I'd end up being the one to get arrested.

Garrett..Excellent post. Women deserve respect. I always think a woman being heckled on the streeet could be my mother, my wofe or other female friends or co-workers. It as a man makes my blood boil. Furthermore, my dad told me he would kick my ass if he ever found out I disrespected a lady.
I rememeber a few years back there was a lovely young woman who had a blog called "Don't be Silent" whose primary focus was street harrassment in DC. Unfortunately she shut it down, but I am glad you posted this.

Teeny, I think you are right about who would get in trouble if someone got maced. I feel like it is intentionally menacing. They do not back down ever. It makes me enraged. Maybe it is up to us men to let other guys know that it is not acceptable. It would feel better to mace them, I think. LOL
Gil I am glad that you told me there used to be a site dedicated to this issue. I am more then glad to take up this torch. My father not only told me to respect women but he showed me by the way he treated my mother. I have a story from McDonald's tonight I am about to post about. Thanks everyone for the positive comments. - GarrettMay 22, 2009 at 8:33 PM
Your welcome Valerie. I thought that I was alone in my anger at the lack of respect for women. I am glad to have gotten all of these responses. I fully intend to keep talking about this problem. We men have to start speaking up when we see this crap. I had a female client tell me today that a lot of women feel like there may be a consequence, as far as violence, if they don't respond at all or if they get nasty. That is totally unacceptable to me. We have to do something.

"Love is an expression and assertion of self-esteem, a response to one's own values in the person of another. One gains a profoundly personal, selfish joy from the mere existence of the person one loves. It is one's own personal, selfish happiness that one seeks, earns, and derives from love."

"'Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third into ice, and sets a fourth in a flame: it wounds one, another it kills: like lightning it begins and ends in the same moment: it makes that fort yield at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it."

"Love, love, love -- all the wretched cant of it, masking egotism, lust, masochism, fantasy under a mythology of sentimental postures, a welter of self-induced miseries and joys, blinding and masking the essential personalities in the frozen gestures of courtship, in the kissing and the dating and the desire, the compliments and the quarrels which vivify its barrenness."

Tariff and Quota Reform with International Capital Mobility
In a small, open economy with a convex production set, international capital mobility raises the cost of tariff protection on one subset of imports if there are irremovable quotas on another. Given irremovable quotas on one subset of imports, free trade is the optimal policy toward all other imports, with or without international capital mobility. Further, in the scalar case, international capital mobility reduces the optimal implicit excess tariff on the quota-constrained import if an irremovable tariff is in place on the other import.

The V4073A valve has been designed to control the flow of water in small bore domestic central heating systems, where both radiator and hot water cylinder circuits are pumped. It is typically suited for small to medium sized installations.
The V4073A mid-position diverter valve is normally used in conjunction with a room thermostat and cylinder thermostat to provide full temperature control of a conventional, fully pumped central heating installation. When used in this way, the control system is known as Sundial Y Plan and the components can be connected together using the Sundial Plan Wiring Centre which has dedicated terminations and there is no need for a wiring diagram. An alternative method of wiring is to use the Honeywell 10-way junction box together with the Honeywell Sundial Plans Wiring Booklet.
The valve must be positioned where it cannot block any vent or cold feed, when either Port A or B is closed.
It may be plumbed in at any angle, but must not be mounted so that the powerhead is below the horizontal level of the pipework.
The valve must not be mounted on the return under any circumstances.
If fitted in a confined space, sufficient ventilation must be available to keep the valve within its ambient temperature range and access must be provided to remove the powerhead if necessary.

A new trove of emails shows President Barack Obamas White House agreed to help drug companies block a proposal to bring down medicine prices so they would back Obamas healthcare plan.
House Republicans obtained the three-year-old correspondence between the Obama administration and representatives of the drug industry and released more of them to the public on Friday...
The exchanges show the compromises as they were being negotiated that laid the groundwork for the health care law now awaiting the judgment of the Supreme Court.
White House officials had made decision, based on how constructive you guys have been, to oppose importation on a different proposal.
In the end, the drug industry agreed to provide $80 billion to expand health coverage in exchange for protection from policies that would cost more
(Excerpt) Read more at newsmax.com ...
Obamas staff signaled a willingness to put aside support for the reimportation of prescription medicines at lower prices and by doing so solidified a compact with an industry the president had vilified on the campaign trail.
The key thing to realize is that with a federal budget measured in trillions of dollars, everyone wants a special deal and every politician is willing to make that deal, if they get something in return. Big Government has too much damn money. Corruption is endemic within both parties.
The only solution is a drastic cut in federal spending; maybe not all in one year, but we need to spend about 50% less than what we currently spend. The corruption will still be a problem, but perhaps a little less appealing.
Surprisingly, to some people this is news.
Obamas White House agreed to help drug companies block a proposal to bring down medicine prices so they would back Obamas healthcare plan.
NYTimes writing about it... well, sucks to be obama.
The drug companies are trying to get the government to prohibit drugs being bought in Canada and shipped here.
This is not new - just wasn't reported by the press to any significant degree. Remember the health care lobbyists were in a panic over Martha Coakley falling behind in the polls and they started pumping her up with cash because they thought her failing to beat Scott Brown would put Obamacare in jeopardy. It was one of the most pro corporatist / anticompetitive bills in history ever passed.
Big business is moving away from capitalism as frantically as is Obama. Sure, the private sector is doing just fine.
The Democrats beat the Republicans over the head with the "reimportation of drugs" then when they had complete control they didn't even attempt to pass it.
They want to have codified monopolies. The contention that Democrats want to "go after the big corporations" and "the rich" is poppycock - it is all about establishing an oligarchy. Those supporting these high tax policies that are in positions of wealth and authority do so because it will discourage / prohibit others from working toward attaining the same wealth and status to challenge their positions.
Martha Coakley Attends Fund Raiser with Insurance and Drug Company Lobbyists
Reporter Attacked Outside Event by Coakley Operative
Jan 13, 2010
"As first reported by Timothy Carney of the Washington Examiner, the host committee for the fundraiser at Pennsylvania Avenue's Sonoma Restaurant includes lobbyists for Pfizer, Merck, Eli Lilly, Novartis and sundry other drug companies that have been among the biggest of ObamaCare's corporate sponsors. Other hosts-who have raised at least $10,000 for Ms. Coakley-include representatives from UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana and other insurers. As far as we can tell, the insurance industry claims to oppose ObamaCare's current incarnation.
"Naturally, lobbyists from America's Health Insurance Plans and Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, the major trade groups, were on hand too."
But the New York Times reporting that he's despicable IS news!
Timothy Carney was giving a powerpoint presentation about his new book: Obamanomics: How Barack Obama Is Bankrupting You and Enriching His Wall Street Friends, Corporate Lobbyists, and Union Bosses.
Heres the book in a nutshell:
Both parties are the parties of big business, Carney said. They both promote corporate socialism.
I sat there in the front row at Cato, in wonder.
Listening to the talk as Carney outlined how Obama had cut deals with Billy Tauzin and the pharmaceutical industry.
Carney then puts up a slide showing how the Phrma cash went from supporting Republican candidates for President in the past to supporting Barack Obama in 2008.
Barack Obama raised $2.1 million from drug companies in 2008, Carney said. Thats about equal to what John McCain raised plus what George Bush raised in both of his elections. Its the most by far any candidate has raised from the drug industry.
Boston Globe: Merck To Pay $24M In Overcharging Case
Merck & Co. has agreed to pay $24 million to the state Medicaid program to settle long-running civil charges that it charged too much for some drugs, in the largest single-case Medicaid fraud settlement in Massachusetts history. The agreement, unveiled yesterday by Attorney General Martha Coakley's office, closes out a 2003 lawsuit filed against 13 drug makers over inflated prices for medicines that were sold in pharmacies (Weisman, 12/21)/2011
Several industry groups handed over the e-mails voluntarily after the White House refused to release them.
The tactics employed by the administration and its allies in Congress, as well as the deals the administration reached with key industry groups to secure passage of the health-care law, have been well documented.
And the documents released Friday essentially conformed to that narrative.
But they offered a more intimate glimpse into some of the behind-the-scenes discussions with organizations such as the industry trade group Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA).
In one of the e-mails released Friday, PhRMAs chief lobbyist reported that the White House had a particular request concerning the ads.
Then-White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel asked for Harry and Louise ads thru third party he wrote.
In a statement, Rep. Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.), chairman of the subcommittee that conducted the investigation, suggested this amounted to hypocrisy. President Obama promised the most transparent administration in our history and railed against third-party advertising. We now know that Obama pressured the pharmaceutical industry in secret meetings to fund third-party advertising in support of Obamacare, he said.
Republicans in the House of Representatives have uncovered a trove of emails and other memos showing how the Obama administration coordinated its $150 million advertising campaign with major pharmaceutical companies.
Nearly $70 million was spent through two Super PACs political action committees organized in part by White House officials, including Jim Messina, Obamas former deputy chief of staff who is now managing his 2012 reelection campaign.
Democratic consultants working with the White House on health reform asked to meet backers of the law to discuss our ad campaign, Ron Pollack, executive director of the Families USA consumer group, said in a June 2009 e-mail to PhRMA.
As I mentioned previously, I wanted to get some guidance from the White House about their messaging and how our effort can be consistent with that, Pollack wrote.
Not news - I wrote in protest at the time to the makers of the meds I use most. They essentially said FU. They don't mind fascism if a fascist is in office.

Pharma got screwed on this deal. My sweetie works for #3. The Pharma industry has lost around 200k jobs since Zero was annointed.
Too bad they are often so brainwashed these days about voting D instead of R that they can't see how he just F-ed them like they are brainwashed by Dems that Rs do to them. Wake up world. This guy's healthcare was all about Commie care not about truly looking to fulfill your needs over a lifetime.
Only real capitalism does that because competition is king and the ability to dictate your own wage based on your work ethic is a damn good destiny. Unless your lazy and want to stay on Mommy's nipple that is.
The most corrupt government I can remember.
My first thought, NYT dissing Bammy, WTH is this.
So why did Republicans release this on a Friday news dump day.
Seems they are in on the 'colluding' as well?
Seems they are in on the colluding as well?
Yes a bit odd, other than the Repubs have been against re-importation of Drugs as well. just for different reasons
Did anyone on this board not know this 2 or 3 years ago? Collusion is necessary to pass such irresponsible legislation.
Blagoyevich contends that things went south for him when he took on big pharma in Illinois and began looking for ways to bring down prescription costs.
How come all this didn't come out in those public hearings on Obamacare on CSPAN —the ones Obama promised during his campaign
Wait you say they never happened
But But he promised
Why the hell the GOP never jumped all over that still irks the hell out of me
I don't know...my first thought was that if the Obamacare is foisted on us, the low-cost generic drugs that are made in countries like Jordan, China, India, Canada, and who knows where else, will be what we are forced to have.
I found out that my thyroid medication came from Jordan, so I make sure I get non-generic, made in USA, right now in Bristol, TN (or if not available, made in Canada). It costs more, but I don't care. We may soon not have a choice, will have to go generic and not know where our drugs are coming from, just like a lot of our food now.
As far as the psychotic drugs and all the new stuff for bi-polar disease, etc., they will continue to rise in costs and necessitate government "help" (control).
It's pharmacy employees and shareholders who got screwed .
this is news??? all and i mean all the bigHealth care companies were involved in helping to write Obamacare..

As the only cycle journalist on today's teleconference with Dick Pound in Montreal I pressed the WADA chief on the numerous inflammatory statements he's made on the Floyd Landis affair. In a Canadian newspaper Pound had said "Who knows, the [US anti-doping agency] may subscribe to a suggestion that Landis [was] ambushed by a roving squad of Nazi frogmen and injected against [his] will with the prohibited substances."
However, for today at least, Pound was circumspect, cautious even.
Listen for yourself in an edited 22 minute tape of today's hour-long interview. There's this YouTube video version and here's a direct link to the iTunes podcast version.
Hear Pound's views on Nazi frogmen, athletes in altitude tents, Floyd Landis, Tyler Hamilton, and the doping status of caffeine.
Pound said he was confident the US Anti-Doping Agency would not exhonerate Floyd Landis:
Article continues belowAdvertisement
"Just because someone is making excuses does not mean a responsible anti-doping agency is going to roll over and play dead."
Pound said there was no reason to question LNDD, the French lab at the centre of this year's Floyd Landis scandal and the aged urine debacle with l'Equipe and Lance Armstrong.
He said WADA-accredited labs do not comment publicly on ongoing cases but they should be free to defend themselves against allegations of poor science.
"It would be useful for ... people who see these statements, some of which are irresponsible, to take issue with them. But, in the long run, the system works."
Pound also said WADA was ready to take the Landis case to CAS, the sports arbitration body based in Switzerland, if USADA fails to sanction the Tour de France winner.
WADA was aware I was the author of a petition questioning LNDD and Dick Pound's public comments on Floyd Landis.
For a day-by-day bunch of links and comments on the Floyd Landis case, go to the Trust But Verify blog.
ALTITUDE TENTS: In today's press conference, Pound slammed 'hypoxic tents' as "artificial" and he made it clear he would like them banned.
These 'oxygen-depletion' devices are used by many athletes around the world. They mimic the effect of training at altitude.WADA's ethics committee believes the sleepy-time contraptions are alien to the spirit of sport.
The tents could be banned from this weekend, if the 12-person WADA executive committee accepts the advice of the ethics committee."I don't know what the decision will be," said Pound. "It's an issue that attracts more heat that light. You have to have a list that reflects what you think is doping.
"The moral question is relatively simple: It's one thing if you're willing to go physically and endure the rigours of high-altitude training; it's another if you climb into a tent at sea level and go to sleep. That's artificial."
UPDATE: Three quarters of the way through the tape, I asked why the WADA vice president, Brian Mikkelson, had resigned in June. I based this comment on a piece in Playthegame.org. Pound said Mikkelson, the Danish minister of culture, had not resigned.
I emailed Play The Game, a fairness in sport website funded by the Danish government. News coordinator Kirsten Sparre said:
"In recent weeks we have heard that Mikkelsen might not step down after all. So there may have been a change of heart for reasons we do not know yet. At the time of our report, Mikkelsen said that he was going to step down, now we get other signals including your information from Dick Pound."

I am curious as to what would be about average. I believe my rib cage is a bit larger than average.
Where May 300cc Take Me? Current: 33A, 135 Pounds, 5'9''
Doctor Answers 12
If you have a larger chest wall, it will transition to a full B or small C. In order to make an accurate size recommendation, I would need to assess your chest wall and breast mound measurements and characteristics. Unfortunately, there is not a general rule of thumb or objective criteria to implant selection.
Your plastic surgeon will perform several measurements of your chest wall and breast anatomy and determine a range of implants that both fit your chest wall and reach your desired goals.
The next step is to try on this range of implants in the office with your doctor. The key to this success is showing your surgeon the body proportion you desire with a bra sizer and allowing your surgeon to guide you to the right implant. It will be much easier to communicate in implant cc's than cup size when determining the appropriate implant for you.
I wish you a safe recovery and fantastic result.
Dr. Gill
Web reference: http://www.drpaulgill.com
If you are currently a 33 A each 100 cc's of implant corresponds to 1 cup size change. 300 cc implants would be 3 cup size increase and you would be a size D.
Best Wishes,
Gary Horndeski, M.D.

What size implants?
Short answer: that size and style implant should give you your desired result.
Long answer: Bra sizes are confusing. More often than not, a woman is not wearing a correctly fitted bra, doesn't know her bra size, or doesn't know how a bra is fitted.
Cup size is dependent on the "number" part of the bra size... a D cup in a 34 bra is a different size from a 42 bra.
Outward projection is further determined by the "profile" of the implant. High school geometry: Height (projection) times Width (base width). A Higher Profile implant will give you a larger cup size for less volume than a Moderate Profile implant.
Furthermore, a saline implant looks bigger than a silicone implant of the same volume. That is because a saline implant is more oval (round on both top and base), while a silicone implant is flat on the base.
Some plastic surgery books have proposed the following parameters for breast augmentation:
32 bra: 100-200 ml per cup size34 bra: 150-250 ml per cup size
36 bra: 200-300 ml per cup size38 bra: 250-350 ml per cup size
Using that as a guide line you will likely be within the C cup range postoperatively.
You might also like...
It's difficult to predict size without photos let alone with photos, but from your description, I would say a 300cc implant may bring you to a B or small C (200cc is typically about a cup size). Everyone is different so that rule of thumb does not always work, so make sure you try on implants at your consultation. 300cc implants look different from one person to the next so make sure you pick a size that you are comfortable with, keeping in mind that a C in your mind may be a D in someone else's mind. Be clear on your decision. ac
This sort of prediction is far from an exact science. Body shape, breast size, width and consistency all effect the outcome. Furthermore, there is no standard definition of cup size. And a C cup on a 36 is larger than a C on a 34, smaller than a C on a 38, and so forth.
Many on this site estimate about a cup size increase for every 150-250 cc of implant. I would guess a size increase of slightly more than one cup size. All the best.
In general, in an average sized woman, 200 cc may increase cup size by one. Therefore, 300 cc would increase cup size by 1.5. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
Web reference: http://www.hughesplasticsurgery.com/breast-augmentation-photo-galleries.php
Because of your height , 300 cc in your body frame could take you not more than a B cup . Best wishes
Of course the answer is 300cc but I think you're likely thinking about what size bra will I wear and how much larger will I look. No one can tell you for sure what bra you will wear and it's still to be determined if you will like your new size and look. The best way I've found to help you decide is for you to get a bra you want to wear after the surgery and put the implant in front of your breast and see how it fills out the bra, how you like the extra weight, how you look in your clothes etc. I would suggest you also try some larger sizes maybe up to 400cc until you're sure you have a size that's is too big for you, then go back down to the largest size you think is right for you. I suspect you're more likely to use 34 bras after the surgery and the cup sizes are slightly different as they are with different brands of bras. With your height I don't think you're likely to go too large with anything between 300 and 400cc but it's your body and your decision. Taller women rarely say they think they chose a size too large. In the place of an implant you can use a water tight baggie from the kitchen and fill it with different volumes (ml and CC are about the same) then put the different volumes in the bra you select and try on different clothes and see how you like different sizes. You may be surprised to find there is not a big difference in the appearance of implants between 300 and 400cc. I get the feeling you'll be happy whatever size you choose. Best wishes.
I think the best way to determine bra size is to place the implant size samples in bras and see which size it fills appropriately. A rough rule is that each 200cc is a cup size, but the rule does not always work.
Web reference: http://www.chicagobreast.com
Without photos, measurements and examination it is almost impossible to predict the size change. Generally, speaking a 300cc implant would probably increase breast size at most 1-11/2 cups. This a relative estimate and not exact. The above information would be needed.

If you use a flat tappet cam,at least use a solid lifter

Need to also stay streetsble and reliable its my daily driver just need to know if I'm headed for disaster I know.the heads are a little big but next time I do this its going to be a stroked motor and would like to get heads that work for that too will the thicker deck on the heads require longer push rods or will stock work
Order an adjustable pushrod from your favorite cam grinder. Check rocker/valve tip interface and either use your old pushrods or order new pushrods based on what you see at the valve tip.

I would go with the the smaller port heads and a solid cam. You must always check valve train geometry when you are introducing new parts, such as heads. The wiki link is here: http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/w...train_geometry Duke |

What is the major advantage over hydraulic lifter vs solid isn't hydraulic lifter less maintenance?
Also my cam manufacturer says do not pump them up prior to first fire up.does this mean don't prime the engine with them in it? I know it's a rookie question but I would rather be ridiculed for stupid questions than be ridiculed by my wife for wasting money I appreciate all your advice. |
Hydraulic lifters requires less adjustments,advantage.
the disadvantage is they are not as stable at higher RPMs,they usually have a rougher idle when compared to an equal solid lifter cam,They cost more(not much) you will always find the fastest cars have solids |

I bought full floating pistons,pins and rods. Obviously the piston and pins are fine. The rods fit but are tighter what is acceptable clearances for rod to pin. Do they wear into each other or do i hone them
Just to be clear they do fit together by hand just one is tighter than the other
Hope that helps. Duke |
Another key is to use a hard foot lifter, these cost a little more than cheap lifters but they do last longer with fewer wear problems. These are identifyable by the darker color of the lifter foot compared to the body. My preference in hydraulic lifters for performance engines is to stay away from fast leak down lifters. These can cause problems at lower RPMs where there is time for the lifter to develop a lash as the valve spring overpowers the engine oil pressure pushing the plunger down. I prefer to run a tight lifter with the plunger against its retainer, so it is fully pumped up all the time so there is no space for it to hold the valve open. It really doesn't matter if you pump the lifters up before assembly or not, therefore, pumping them up is simply time that can be spent on other things. Lube them and the cam lobes well with recommended assembly lube. Drop them in then go thorugh the drill of crankshaft rotation to initially set them up turning the nut down till the push rod just reaches the place where it is tight to rotate in your fingers, then add half a turn. With #1 TDC firing Intake 1,2,5,7; Exhaust 1,3,4,8. Rotate the crank one revolution clockwise will bring #6 to firing adjust Intake 3,4,6,8; Exhaust 2,5,6,7. Once all together to where the engine can be started I fire it and go down each rocker loosening it till it ticks then for a street tighten the nut till the tick stops then turn 1/2 to 1 turn further and lock the nut if it isn't self locking. For performance applications I loosen the nut till the valve train just ticks, then tighten it to where the tick is just gone, then lock the nut. Bogie |

A couple of questions
Why do many guys buy `too big` parts for their engines, is it because speed shops always say to get bigger, you want more power later.
A camshaft is often what seems to be `the bigger the better` and not what the engine wants. You put big heads to stock or near stock engine and get bad fuel mileage, no power/torque down low and so on. everyone wants to have 600 hp engine in a daily driver, have 30 mpg and be able to go 11s at th1 1/4 mile. You know that 1 change from stock leads to 3 more changes untill everything is done. I guess we all do have to pay our own learning moneys |

@Spidermax You just took the words out of my mouth :D
Loved how Bilbao outplayed ManU in both matches. Llorente`s goal was magical!
Yes! ManU Always wins in overtime and its f*****g annoying but when Arsenal wins in overtime it feels veery good :D
Pukki has started 5 games in Schalke 04 and scored 4 goals and assisted 1 goal. Nice!

My guess is the Jets head into the draft without signing a FA QB. If they draft a QB early, they'll let the rookie and Sanchez battle it out. Worst case, Sanchez wins the job, while the rookie has a year to groom on the bench for 2014.
If they dont draft a QB, I'd see an early summer scrap heap QB signed on a 1 year deal to give Sanchez competition. Winner is the QB for 2013, and the Jets reassess their QB in 2014 when they finally have the cap room.

Title: | Feed in tariffs and BIPV. Can we make it a winning team? |
Issue date: | 2005/06/01 |
Description: | Photovoltaic in building integration is seen as the main target application area for grid-connected PV systems in Europe. The very high potential of such an application seems to be suitable for private investors at the point of sale for the utility, where the electric power has the highest market value. However; even in the booming German PV market the fraction of real building integrated PV in facades in 2004 only reached 1%. There is a much larger fraction of roof top PV installations. But the ground mounted market is the fastest growing market segment today in Germany. This paper evaluates the reasons for the phenomen and proposes some possible improvement to be made by the PV community to overcome this barrier and to open this important market segment for grid-connected PV applications in Europe. |

Rupert Everett's acclaimed performance as Oscar Wilde is to transfer to the West End.
The actor has had a sell-out run with his starring role as the writer and wit in The Judas Kiss at north London's Hampstead Theatre.
Now the production has secured a further run at the Duke Of York's Theatre, opening on 17 January.
The play, by David Hare, also stars Freddie Fox as Lord Alfred Douglas and the rest of the Hampstead cast are to continue in their roles when the production transfers.
The Judas Kiss examines Wilde's relationship with his lover Lord Alfred, known as Bosie, focusing on two key moments in his life - the eve of his gross indecency arrest at a Knightsbridge hotel, and a night in Naples following his imprisonment in Reading Jail.

Anatomical terminology |
The uvea (Lat. uva, grape), also called the uveal layer, uveal coat, uveal tract, or vascular tunic, is the pigmented middle of the three concentric layers that make up an eye. The name is possibly a reference to its reddish-blue or almost black colour, wrinkled appearance and grape-like size and shape when stripped intact from a cadaveric eye.[1] Its use as a technical term in anatomy and ophthalmology is relatively modern.[citation needed]
The uvea is the vascular middle layer of the eye. It is traditionally divided into three areas, from front to back, the:
The prime functions of the uveal tract as a unit are:
- Nutrition and gas exchange: uveal vessels directly perfuse the ciliary body and iris, to support their metabolic needs, and indirectly supply diffusible nutrients to the outer retina, sclera, and lens, which lack any intrinsic blood supply. (The cornea has no adjacent blood vessels and is oxygenated by direct gas exchange with the environment.)
- Light absorption: the uvea improves the contrast of the retinal image by reducing reflected light within the eye (analogous to the black paint inside a camera), and also absorbs outside light transmitted through the sclera, which is not fully opaque.
In addition some uveal regions have special functions of great importance, including secretion of the aqueous humour by the ciliary processes, control of accommodation (focus) by the ciliary body, and optimisation of retinal illumination by the iris's control over the pupil. Many of these functions are under the control of the autonomic nervous system.
The pupil provides a visible example of the neural feedback control in the body. This is subserved by a balance between the antagonistic sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions of the autonomic nervous system. Informal pharmacological experiments have been performed on the pupil for centuries, since the pupil is readily visible, and its size can be readily altered by applying drugs—even crude plant extracts—to the cornea. Pharmacological control over pupil size remains an important part of the treatment of some ocular diseases.
Drugs can also reduce the metabolically-active process of secreting aqueous humour, which is important in treating both acute and chronic glaucoma.
The normal uvea consists of immune competent cells, particularly lymphocytes, and is prone to respond to inflammation by developing lymphocytic infiltrates. A rare disease called sympathetic ophthalmia may represent 'cross-reaction' between the uveal and retinal antigens (i.e., the body's inability to distinguish between them, with resulting misdirected inflammatory reactions).

Advertised as "The ultimate climax," the softcore sex flick DON'T JUST LAY THERE -- directed by character actor Phillip Pine (the first Colonel Green on STAR TREK), with music by Martin Margulies (a.k.a. Johnny Legend) -- started making the rounds in September 1970. Because the storyline has something to do with young people being murdered by a mysterious character known as "Zodiac," it was re-released a couple of years later with a new ad campaign that made it look like a horror movie, with a tag line added to cash in on the then-current Zodiac murders in northern California (Cast member Kathy Hilton also appeared in the softcore THE ZODIAC COUPLES around the same time). The ad above is from the Tucson, Arizona opening on February 23, 1973. The one below is from Cedar Rapids, Iowa on April 5, 1974.
Pressbook Synopsis
The people in DON'T JUST LAY THERE have the right idea. Their lifestyle is centered around an unstoppable, rarely quenchable, and often wildly perverted thirst for sex. One ordinary, passion-ridden day they find themselves thrust into a bizarre, chaotic nightmare world of mystery, murder, and drugs.
Billie Starr, an avant-garde erotic photographer, has been given an interesting assignment by a mysterious nameless employer. In attempting to gather her models and assistants, she finds it difficult to get them to stop their sexual antics long enough to be captured on film. Eve, her lesbian-playmate and model, requires an arousing morning "burst" which she achieves through the use of an electric vibrator and Billie's soothing description of their next torrid affair. Sloan, her photographic assistant, begins his day with grass, acid and a little "peeping torn" action on his table telescope. Rock, the handsome male model, is busy practicing various diagrammed sexual positions with a beautiful black playmate.
Billie finally gathers them all and, together with Rusty (the sensual brunette stripper) and Ion (the groovy, energetic black non-stop humper) they set out on their journey to a secluded mountain camp to photograph an astrology-oriented sexual lay-out. While on the freeway on the way to the camp, the grass flows freely and Rock busies himself on top of Eve. This hilarious sequence shows the reactions of several "straight" passers-by who have an incredibly clear view of Rock's activity. One middle-aged man becomes so wildly "turned on" while watching that he forgets himself and runs into a pole.
Billie and company finally arrive at the camp and are greeted by Creighton, an eerie, often funny caretaker with strange sexual fantasies. They busy themselves around the picturesque countryside, shooting acts of intercourse in dozens of unique positions. Many of the events which take place are seen from Sloan's distorted, colorfully erotic, drugged point of view.
After the day's shooting, the group gathers in their cabin for a wild party. Rusty begins a breath-taking, rhythmic "dance of erotica". The party activity reaches a fever pitch. Suddenly, Rusty's ecstatic movements become a macabre "dance of death" as she ominously freezes and falls to the ground. While the others stand helplessly, a voice from a hidden tape recorder greets them. They learn that they are to be the guests of a sinister unseen host who calls himself Zodiac; and that they are to die, one by one.
The group panics as the avenues of escape are cut off one by one. Creighton is found dead. Zodiac mockingly speaks to them once more, reminding them of their fate. As they feel the creeping fingers of death closing in on them, they frantically seek refuge and escape in violent outbursts of sexuality. The murderer could be any one of them.
Eve and Billie cling to each other on a haystack in a tragic, absurdly classical moment of happiness. The murders continue. The film reaches a surprising, lavish, revealing climax which includes a staggering, slow-motion rape sequence and an awe-
inspiring dream-like orgy in which the murderer is confronted sexually by all of his victims.
This film displays a captivating blend of realistic sexual honesty and offbeat campish melodrama. Also included in the film: an original musical score from a soon-to-be released soundtrack album which features "Don't Just Lay There", "Five Fingered Lover", "Humpin', U.S.A.", "If I Should Spread Before I Die", "Ecstasy in Death", "Play Another Lick For Me", and other exciting music from the film, definitely the best music, lyrics, and score ever created for the wildest, funniest, sexploitation film of any year.

Weiramon Saniago
this wiki
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
[Source] |
Weiramon Saniago is a Tairen High Lord sworn to the Dragon Reborn, Rand al'Thor, and a high-ranking Darkfriend.
Appearance Edit
He is thin, with gray streaked hair and an oiled pointy beard. He is not short and there is something of a strutting rooster about him. He is balding.
Activities Edit
To Cairhien Edit
Despite being in service to Rand, Weiramon's noble prejudices and exaggerated opinion of his own abilities make him, if not untrustworthy, at least unsuitable to take charge of matters of great importance. For example, his views on military tactics begin and end with the charge, with no room for deviation. He was sent to Cairhien as reinforcements when the city is attacked by the Shaido while gathering forces as he went.
Due to Weiramon's high rank but poor military tactics, he is sent from the battle of Cairhien to the Plains of Maredo. He is placed in charge of the massive force Rand gathered there for the attack on Illian. There he almost ruined that plan by attacking off with the cavalry and leaving the infrantry behind, once the attack on Illian began.
The Seanchan campaign Edit
He goes with Rand when Rand tried to deal with the Illian rebels loyal to Lord Brend, who the forsaken Sammael was posing as. He is placed under Rand's direct command when Rand's forces fight the invading Seanchan army just outside Illian. He broke position to charge a group of Seanchan, allowing another group of Seanchan through to hit Rand's position from behind. He convinced Rand to keep advancing toward Ebou Dar. He leads Charl Gedwyn, Kiril Drapaneos, Bertome Saighan and Doressin Chuliandred into the final assault against the Seanchan. Rand brings him back to Cairhien and gives him servants that are loyal to Rand and Dobraine Taborwin.
He is later seen conversing with Bertome in Cairhien's corridors.
Again disobeying Rand's orders he travels to Tear and is in the Stone of Tear when Rand arrives to talk to Darlin Sisnera. He wishes to gather a sortie and send into the rebels who are laying siege to the Stone of Tear, his own countryman. The idea is squashed by Darlin. Rand sends Weiramon with the rest of the Tairen forces into Arad Doman.
He greets Rand with King Darlin when Rand withdraws his forces from Arad Doman back into Tear.
After Rand's personal redemption, he seems to gain the ability to tell a Darkfriend by looking into their eyes. He orders all the High Lords and Ladies into a line and confirms Weiramon and Anaiyella Narencelona as Darkfriends and sends them away as a warning to any others.
His fate is undisclosed, yet we can presume that he met death in some unfavourable manner.

CNN International held a live special report on the future of Afghanistan on Thursday. There was also a live online discussion at the Connect the World blog link here so please continue to share your comments. We have two topics that we want you to voice your opinion on: 1) Was the war in Afghanistan worth it in the first place and 2) what does the future for Afghanistan hold – can the war ever be won?
Osama bin Laden: remember him? Where is he, and why hasn't anyone captured him?
Nearly nine years after the September 11 terror attacks, a new CNN/Opinion Research poll finds that a record number of Americans believe the United States is unlikely ever to capture or kill Osama bin Laden. Today, 30 percent of Americans now believe it is likely the U.S. government will ever capture or kill bin Laden. Sixty-seven percent believe it is unlikely. In 2001, one in five Americans believed the government would be unlikely to catch bin Laden.
And there is still a $25 million dollar reward for his capture by the FBI. Late last year, the U.S. government admitted a "lack of intelligence" on bin Laden's whereabouts, noting he could be in Afghanistan or Pakistan.
What do you think? Why hasn't bin Laden been found? Is he still alive? Where is he hiding? Share your thoughts FULL POST
NATO is six months into an 18-month counterinsurgency plan aimed at turning the tide of the nearly 9-year war in Afghanistan.
In the coming months, the focus of both ground operations and the rebuilding mission will be on the southern province of Kandahar - the spiritual home of the Taliban. Success here is perhaps one of the last chances to keep support for the war alive among Afghans.
"Failure in Afghanistan is not an option," says Haroun Mir, an Afghan analyst and parliamentary candidate. "Certainly the United States can abandon Afghanistan. But the problem is, al Qaeda and the Taliban will not abandon their fight against the United States." FULL POST

1184 B.C.: During the Trojan War, the Greeks depart in ships, leaving behind a large wooden horse as a victory offering. It is hauled inside the walls of Troy, and Greek soldiers descend from the horse's belly after dark to slay the guards and commence destruction of the city.
Whether this actually happened, and whether the traditional date given is true, archeological evidence has established that a Trojan War did occur in Asia Minor around 1200 B.C. You can debate how much of the accounts in Homer's Iliad, Virgil's Aeneid and elsewhere is legend. But it is in no way mere legend. The war and its lore are a firm part of Western culture and have enriched our language.
The war began when a prince of Troy eloped with the king of Sparta's wife, Helen. Christopher Marlowe called her "the face that launch'd a thousand ships." (Three millenniums after the Trojan War, scientist and science-fiction author Isaac Asimov defined the milliHelen as the amount of feminine beauty sufficient to launch one ship. Generations of snickering male college students would rate women in various hundreds of milliHelens.)
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact email@example.com to report an issue.
Cassandra was a Trojan prophet who warned against accepting the gift. Today, her name means a person whose warnings are ignored. Another skeptic was Laocoon, who Virgil says first uttered, "Beware of Greeks bearing gifts."
Then, of course, there's the name Trojan horse for software that seems to perform one action but actually performs another, usually with malicious intentions. So, what cybersecurity lessons might we learn today from the first Trojan Horse?
- Persistence: The Greeks had besieged Troy for 10 years without result.
- Epistemology: Things are not always what they seem to be.
- Virgil, updated: Beware of strangers bearing gifts.
- Social engineering: The horse flattered the Trojans, who loved horses and were delighted with the gift.
- Engineering: The horse was on wheels, designed to make it easy for the Trojans to pull it inside their defenses.
- Ignoring warning messages: Cassandra and Laocoon were both disregarded.
- Delay: The Trojan Horse did not do its damage immediately, but waited for the opportune moment.
- Size: It only took a handful of Greeks to unleash a lot of damage.
- Negating security from inside: They killed the guards and opened the gates from within, rendering Troy's strong walls useless. The Greek ships had come ashore again, and their army poured in.
- Scope of damage: Troy was burnt and destroyed.
- Permanent effects: Troy lost the war.
You, of course, could only lose your data, your hard drive, your thesis, your job, your money, your business, your identity or some awful combination of these.

Summary and Analysis Sonnet 80 Bookmark this page Manage My Reading List Summary The poet acknowledges that the rival poet displaces him in the youth's favor. Feeling discouraged by the superiority of the "better spirit" of the rival poet, whom he describes throughout the sonnet using nautical imagery, the poet complains of being "tongue-tied," unable to compete with his rival's exalted verse. The poet's phrasing is courteous, but the exaggerated language indicates a serious mood. One detects an ironic purpose in the poet's devotion in the face of rejection when he sarcastically compares his verse to the rival poet's as "My saucy bark, inferior far to his." He forgives his own abject behavior with the excuse that love for the young man is his sole reason for living and the sole reason for his destruction: "Then if he thrive, and I be cast away, / The worst was this: my love was my decay."
