President Barack Obama Sunday strongly backed Israel's right to defend itself against attacks by the Hamas, but said everyone should want a decrease in the violence that has erupted in the region for days.
"There is no country on Earth that would tolerate missiles raining down on from outside its borders," Obama said Sunday in his first public comments on the fighting. "We are fully supportive of Israel's right to defend its borders."
He made the remarks during a joint news conference with the prime minister of Thailand as he opened a four-day tour of Southeast Asia.
"If we see a further escalation of the situation in Gaza, then the likelihood of us getting back on any kind of peace track that leads to a two-state solution is going to be pushed off way into the future," Obama said.
In recent days, Obama has spoken to leaders in Egypt and Turkey, urging them to engage Hamas, a U.S.-designated terror group, and bring an end to the rocket fire that has occurred in both the Gaza Strip and southern Israel for several days. Israel began targeting Hamas government and media buildings after an attack on Jerusalem.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hinted at a ground invasion, though there were no new indications Sunday. White House officials have said Israel has not asked for specific assistance, though the U.S. did help fund the Iron Dome, which has successfully halted some rockets that have been fired out of Gaza.

Wrigley Field's non-baseball events
Instead of throwing pitches on July 22 at Wrigley Field, the athletes will be playing on a pitch.
That's right. The Cubs announced Wednesday that soccer--or futbol if you prefer--is returning to the Friendly Confines this summer when Italy's AS Roma plays Poland's Zaglebie Lubin in an international "Friendly at the Confines." (Ha, we see what they did there.)
The match will take place after the Ron Santo Hall of Fame induction ceremony and other Santo tributes that day.
Soccer was last played at Wrigley in 1984, when the Chicago Sting beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1. The return of soccer is just the latest in the line of non-baseball events at Wrigley. Here are some others.

In February of 2009, Love Finds You in Last Chance, California was published by Summerside Press and Finding Jeena released in March 2010 from Kregel Publications.
Miralee Ferrell lives in Washington with Allen, her husband of more than 37 years, ans has two grown children. She serves on staff at her local church ans is actively involved in ministry to women.
When the boss disappears, salaries go unpaid, and Jeena overhears several hush-hush phone calls, she realizes her carefully crafted world is crumbling. Shaken to the core at the threat of losing everything, Jeena is suddenly confronted with her prejudices─and with a God she had long forgotten.

Lisa Robin Kelly -- who was mysteriously replaced on the sitcom after Season 5 -- was arrested on August 21 after cops suspected she was driving under the influence of alcohol. Kelly was taken to a nearby jail where she spent the night behind bars.
But in November, the 40-year-old pled guilty to one count of DWI -- and was sentenced to 12 months of unsupervised probation. She was also ordered to pay a fine.
As for the good news -- the mug shot's an instant classic!

E Scow National Championships in Oshkosh WI, Day 1
10 September 2009
View 2009 E Scow Nationals Photo Gallery | View Full Results
Take away the ripples on the water and the flag flying over the Oshkosh Yacht Club and you have an idea of what it was like for most of the first day of the Championships. Boats on the trailers and lifts, and people making a tour of this glorious reconstruction of the original yacht club building. Magnificent.
Blake Middleton, the PRO, kept the sailors informed on the radio about every 15 minutes throughout the day. It could have been a recording. However the plan was clear, they were going to do everything they could to get a race in and that meant pushing back dinner and waiting for the late day breeze to fill in from the east. At 4:30 you could see it start across the lake and the postponement flag came down for a 5:30 warning signal.
The course was a windward leeward 2 1/2 with 1.2 mile legs. An 8 mph breeze from the southeast, 135 degrees, was a blessing compared to the flat water we had been looking at all day long.
The race got off clean with one boat over in the middle, GL-11. The boats grouped up at both ends of the starting line. The windward end, because they liked the extra pressure, and the leeward end because they liked the angle. Brian Porter hit the line at full speed at the committee boat and only had one inch to spare before being over at the start. Then there was Rob Terry (CR-66) at the leeward end heading to the left side where the angles improved and he got a great port tack slant from that side of the course to lead at the weather mark. Iggy Labanauskas, sailing I-17, was second around also from the left side of the course, followed by Jeff Scholesser (J-55). Tom Burton (M-9) played more of the middle of the course and rounded 4th, followed by Commodore Rick Turner (CH-6), and Casey Call (WA-99). Brian Porter was 9th. The story goes that Iggy was supposed to race the I-0 boat belonging to Aaron Roth while Brian would sail the I-17 boat. But Brian convinced people that he should sail the I-0 boat (supposedly faster) so Iggy got the 'slower' I-17 boat. Guess they will re-think that choice!
A couple of big changes the second time around saw Jeff (J-55) drop back to 12th and Brian (I-0) move up to 4th, behind Tom (M-9), Iggy (I-17) and the leader Rob (CR-66). Robby Wilkins moved from 12th to 5th, and Sam Rogers (M-42) moved from 16th to 8th. Lon Schoor (H-7) dropped from 7th to 13th (ouch!) getting caught in the 'soup' that first downwind and passing a few boats on the next upwind. Brian hit the mark during his 4th place rounding - I think he might have caught the anchor line and the mark dragged into him. Jon Scholesser dropped from a 10th at the first mark to 19th at the second upwind mark.
Positions settled in and the last time around Vincent Porter (I-49) passed three boats, moving from 9th to 6th, Lon (H-7) too got a few boats to finish 10th.

Federer News
Let me tell you straight. If Roger Federer wins Wimbledon it will, at a stroke, end the argument over who is the best player of all time.
He has gone through two lean years since that last Slam win in Australia and when that happens people start to question you. Hey, it's human nature.
Yesterday Federer answered a whole lot of questions - he needs that one more win to answer them all - and he was brilliant. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant.
He played magnificently from point one. He has the best forehand the game has seen and he used it to perfect effect.
The conditions were in Federer's favour.
The roof being shut works better for the Swiss as there no is wind or sun to interfere with his game. The neutral conditions also suit his one-handed backhand. Federer's all-round game is fantastic.
He is one of the very few to be able to do a little bit of everything. He can play offence, he can play defence, he can switch to neutral, go back or serve and volley. And he thinks too, the guy is a real smart thinker.
Federer did two things against Novak Djokovic. Instead of serving and then volleying he would serve, play a defensive ball and then go in on the volley.
He also looked to push Djokovic out wide on his forehand, out to where the courts are still green and it's more difficult to come back from.
I was surprised how Djokovic's forehand broke down under pressure and he made more errors on his backhand too. That is unusual for a two-handed backhand against a one-handed one.
It was an unusual performance all-round from Djokovic. He hit more defensive returns than you would expect and it seemed like there was a lack of intensity out there. He will be back, no doubt about that but the day belonged to Federer.

Bellator Takes On The UFC, Results
It had been expected for years and last night it finally happened. Spike TV debuted Bellator's brand of mixed martial arts on the network last night after losing its Ultimate Fighting Championship programming over a year ago.
Out with the old and in with the new, Spike TV had dubbed itself as the home of MMA on television and showed their dedication to sport by getting their parent company Viacom to purchase a controlling stake in Bellator Fighting Championships.
Thursday night's debut opened up this season with not one but two title fights.
Pat Curran vs. Patricio "Pitbull" Freire, Bellator Featherweight Championship
Curran has come a long way in Bellator and the sport MMA. He's won two tournaments, lost one championship match up and just last year won his first Bellator championship.
Curran won just enough rounds in the five round affair to defend his championship with a decision win.
Light Heavyweight Tournament
The night also included two light heavyweight tournament match ups.
Mikhail Zayats finished veteran Renato "Babalu" Sobral with a technical knockout in the first round.
The Russian hit Sobral with a spinning back fist and hammerfists to eliminate the Brazilian legend.
Emanuel Newton submitted Atana Djambazov in the second round of their bout with a rear naked choke.
Seth Petruzelli had an unimpressive performance losing by TKO Jacob Noe after getting pummeled in the first round.
Michael Chandler vs. Rick Hawn, Bellator Lightweight Championship
In the nights main event, Chandler looked impressive as he dominated Olympian Hawn and finished him in the second round with a rear naked choke submission.
Chandler who defeated Eddie Alvarez for the title last year is now 11-0.

Autumn 2004 Banner Contest!!!!
Welcome to the new Autumn banner contest. You've seen the cool banners we have at the top of our forum. Some of you remember the last banner contest. Others have wondered where those cool banners come from. In case you didn't know, they were made by people on this forum. Now is your chance to make a banner that will grace our forum for at least the next season.
Banners may contain anime artwork from any source including your own art. They must be anime related and they must be appropriate for our forum. The theme for this banner contest is the season of Autumn. That means falling leaves, Halloween, Ginko and anything else that fits with the season. Feel free to use your imagination. I'm hoping that we'll see some original artwork this year.
The rest of the rules:
If you want to use the AnimeSuki font, there it is.
The edges of the banner must blend into the top bar. That means the very edge of the template below must not be covered by any image or else it will look like it has been cut off. If a mistake is made on edge blending we will all try to point it out so that it can be fixed. Banners whose edges are messed up will be ineligable.

Very nice Green² but...
The left and right edge doesn't blend into the background very well (IMHO). I placed your image onto a 1000 x 60 (extended) background and it stands out to much. Could you not simply merge the two images together at the edges, going from the wavey darker blue to the solid lighter blue.

NoSanninWa, you're so predictable. I could tell you were going to make the banner contest today by just seeing you earlier today by you viewing the Spring contest, but now I wonder why there was never a Summer Banner Contest.....
Green: Yeah, it's just a little too dark and would have of a Summer feel, but it's still very nice. I'm sure you can make it a tad bit lighter.
Overall: 88%
I will edit my post if you have made any changes.

Ok, I made something for this animesuki banner contest ^_^ I have no idea -what- exactly to call it, but basically...you upload your image, and it shows the banner in the position ontop the forums. Ok, heres the steps in using it:
1: Click this URL (http://geocities.yahoo.com/filemanager)
2: Log-in, username: twidesinet and password: Mognet
2.5: (then go to "File Manager" if your not already there.)
3: Delete the file 1.gif
4: upload your banner (you must name it 1.gif, I don't know if it *has* to be gif, if it's jpg or png just try renaming it to .gif and see if that works)
5: Open this page: (http://www.geocities.com/twidesinet/banner-gen.html)
If it's not your banner, then someone else uploaded before you viewed it. I'm not expecting a huge amount of people to use this, so I don't think that would ever occur. If it does, just try again in a few moments. Hope it comes in handy!

Sven Nys (Crelen-Euphony), long a legend in international cyclocross, cemented his status with his second UCI cyclocross world championship title Saturday in brutally cold and muddy conditions in Louisville, Kentucky. We took a look at his Colnago Prestige.
The Colnago Prestige frame is several years old now but the fact that it's currently in use by Nys as well as current world champion Niels Albert (BKCP-Powerplus) stands as a strong testament to its solid design. Known more for its lugged carbon chassis, Colnago instead builds the Prestige in more contemporary fashion with a monocoque front end mated to bonded-in seat stay and chain stay assemblies, both joined with two-piece hinged aluminum dropouts.
Further reinforcing the straightforward construction are the straight 1 1/8in front end where most new bikes now use tapered setups, a threaded bottom bracket shell, and a dead-level top tube. The seat cluster is uniquely punctuated by an additional arc of carbon that supposedly eases the pain of shouldering, however, and Nys' Shimano Dura-Ace Di2 wires are internally routed. Consumer-spec Prestige frames are further modernized with disc brake tabs but as is still currently the case with most top-level European racers, Nys carries on with simpler – and lighter – cantilevers, at least for now.
The curved bridge at the seat tube-top tube junction is supposedly meant to ease the pain of run-ups, although Sven Nys' (Crelen-Euphony) shoulder is usually placed further forward
One might expect someone like Nys to pilot an exotically outfitted machine but it's decidedly workhorse everywhere you look, which perhaps only further highlights his athletic talents. In fact, most of the bits on Nys' bike aren't even current.
For example, the Dura-Ace Di2 transmission is the older 7970 generation, the replacement for his Dura-Ace WH-7900-C35-TU carbon tubular wheelset has already seen action for nearly a full season with WorldTour road teams, and even the XTR pedals are the previous M970 edition (although it's widely accepted that the newer ones actually aren't as good in heavy mud).
Countless races in wet and muddy conditions have worn the anodizing off of the crankarms and even the frameset shows numerous battle scars from competition and travel. Considering the abuse served up week in and week out by both rider and environment, the bike's impeccable functional condition speaks volumes about the mechanics that tend to it.
33mm-wide Dugast Typhoon tubulars are mounted to Shimano Dura-Ace WH-7900-C35-TU carbon wheels
Rounding out the build are 33mm-wide Dugast Typhoon tires (though the more aggressive Rhinos might be used if Saturday afternoon proves muddy), a Selle Italia SLR Team Edition saddle, and a mix of PRO aluminum and carbon fiber cockpit components. Nys apparently doesn't require a number to know how hard he's working as there is no power meter or computer installed – success is measured instead by the grimaces and weeping of his competitors on course.
Total bike weight is light but not especially so at 7.68kg (16.93lb).
On paper, a less astute observer might say Nys' Colnago Prestige is due for an update. But where someone else sees nicks, scratches, and abuse, we see experience, wisdom, and confidence. As the saying goes, it's not the size of the sword that counts but how you wield it – and Nys can cut a wicked slice indeed.

We've gotten a lot of questions from our customers lately about all the different drivetrain options available for mountain bikes. To help answer your questions, we turned to our in-house expert: Mark (some of you might recognize Mark and his mustache from our videos).
If you are in the market for a new mountain bike or a new drivetrain for an existing mountain bike, then the crankset and gearing options can seem overwhelming and a little confusing. Triple crankset, a double, or just rolling with a single ring…which is the right one for you? Why would you choose one chainring over three or two? Can more actually be less? Let's take a look at the options and when it comes time to upgrade, you will have a better sense of what will work best for you and why.
For years the traditional mountain bike drivetrain consisted of a triple (3 chainrings) crankset paired with a cassette (or freewheel) that has grown from 6 to as many as 11 cogs. Fast forward to now and you still have the triple (3x) crankset option, but you also have double cranksets with 2 chainrings (2x) as well as single cranksets with just one chainring (1x).
The Triple: Early mountain bikes used whatever components were available at the time, and at that time it was primarily touring components. The wide range of a triple crankset was also necessary because the bikes were quite heavy when compared to today's standards and the low range was needed to get those klunkers up the hills. Over time cassette ratios were refined and the gearing on triple cranksets became more compact, with smaller jumps between the 3 chainrings. Most current triple mountain bike cranksets have gearing in the 22/32/42t, 24/32/42t, or 22/32/44t range. A triple crankset typically offers the broadest range of gears, and depending on your specific needs it may be the best option for you. Good examples for using a triple would be large changes in elevation on your trails, riding to the trailhead via the road, or the desire to have a low gear that you can "spin" up the hills with.
The Double: Before double cranksets were embraced by component manufacturers, many riders would ditch one of the chainrings from their triple cranksets. Some people removed the large chainring to gain some ground clearance and because they didn't need the tall gear that it offered, while others would get rid of the small ring because their terrain wasn't hilly enough to dictate a gear that low – or they were just strong enough to do without it. Either way it was a compromise and the rider was losing some of the wide range that a triple crankset offered. When 10-speed cassettes were introduced to mountain bike drivetrains, double crankset gearing was optimized and the gear range was expanded to rival that of a triple drivetrain. The 2×10 speed drivetrain offers reduced weight, optimized front shifting, and a minimal compromise on overall gear range. Now that there are options at most price levels, a 2x drivetrain would be a great choice for anyone looking to shed some weight from their bike without giving up much in terms of versatility.
The Single: Just as riders were removing a chainring from their triple cranks, some were going a step further and removing the inner and outer ring and just keeping the middle ring. The reasons were numerous – further weight reduction by getting rid of the front shifter and derailleur, simplifying the drivetrain, and reducing some of the redundancy that comes with multiple chainrings. But like the early 2x adopters, they were compromising the versatility of their mountain bikes. Folks without much elevation change could get by with it, but the reduction at the high and low end of the gear range was significant. Another challenge of a 1x drivetrain is chain retention. Without the front derailleur to help keep the chain in place you need some sort of chain device to manage chain drop. It can be as simple as a road or cross style "chain watcher" if your trails are fairly smooth, but faster, rougher trails require a full-on chainguide to keep the chain on the chainring. The Race Face Narrow Wide chainring design eliminates the need for a chainguide with 1x setup, but you are still left with what could be a less than desirable gear range.
Then came the 1×11 mountain bike drivetrain. Pioneered by SRAM, the 1×11 drivetrain offered the widest gear range for a cassette (10-42t), a narrow/wide chainring tooth profile to manage chain retention, and a rear derailleur with a clutch mechanism that also assisted with chain management by keeping more tension on the chain. This ushered in a 1x option for people actually riding in the mountains and significantly reduced the weight, friction, and noise of the drivetrain. The one caveat at present with the 1×11 drivetrain is cost – the technology is new and hasn't trickled down to the lower price levels. If you aren't overly concerned with the cost, there is a viable option for riders seeking a 1x drivetrain who don't want to limit where they can ride.
Hopefully you now have a better understanding of how the mountain bike drivetrain has evolved over time, the available options, and why you might choose one over another. If you ride in extremely hilly terrain a 3x drivetrain may serve you well without breaking the bank. If you are a stronger rider who wants better front shifting performance and less weight, you may opt for a 2x drivetrain. Or if you want the ultimate in light weight, less clutter, and smooth shifting check out a 1×11 drivetrain. Thanks for reading and enjoy the ride!

Hollywood legend Arnold Schwarzenegger recently reserved praise for Cristiano Ronaldo's physique and revealed his admiration for the Real Madrid talisman's commitment to building up his strength.
"He has a fantastic physique and great abs. He's in amazing shape," remarked the Terminator.
Ronaldo may well be one of the most dedicated athletes in world football at the moment and is doing a good job in representing La Liga in the physical specimen stakes.
Schwarzenegger's words got GMS thinking about which players in the Premier League would be candidates if a prize was being handed out to the strongest. Which players are strong as an Oxen? Which player would be the most useful when trying to move a washing machine?
You know, all the usual questions. Anyway, GMS took a good look around the Premier League's top clubs and picked out five stars you would want on your side if things got physical.

The Birth of a Nation
"The mouse is silent while laboring, but when the baby is conceived, she cries." African Proverb
Shem Hotep ("I go in peace").
Gus (left), played by white actor Walter Long in blackface, represents the threat of the menacing black race, as does Gen. Thade (right), played by white actor Tim Roth in Apeface.
According to D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation (1915), Abraham Lincoln was wrong. Damn wrong! The propagandistic film, originally entitled The Clansman, presents "the Negro race" as a threat to white society. A subtitle in the film reads:
According to D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation (1915), Abraham Lincoln was wrong. Damn wrong! The propagandistic film, originally entitled The Clansman, presents "the Negro race" as a threat to white society. A subtitle in the film reads:
"The Ku Klux Klan, the organization that saved the South from the anarchy of black rule."
Although the film doesn't explicitly vilify President Lincoln (his desire to protect the South after the Civil War is viewed favorably), it nonetheless places the blame squarely on his shoulders for disrupting the tranquillity of white dominance. The film suggests that liberating the black race was not only wrong but dangerous. Blacks, no longer fettered by white mastery, pose a threat to civilization with their lewd, primitive behavior.
The menace of black savagery is best seen when Gus, played by white actor Walter Long in blackface, pursues Flora through the forest. The visual cuts back and forth between Gus, the black aggressor, and Flora, the innocent white victim, not only heightens the film's drama but arouses feelings of white vulnerability.
In Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes, this threatening chase through the woods is symbolically continued as a group of white humans flee a pack of terrifying apes. The humans are no match for these athletic simians because, to put it frankly, white men can't jump.
Thus begins the long awaited update of The Birth of a Nation, a film that the Ku Klux Klan still uses to promote their organization. Whereas Birth of a Nation justifies the oppression of black people in the South, Planet of the Apes reveals the consequences of alleviating such oppression. If we do not control these "savage Negroes," say both of the films, we are going to be a "helpless white minority" running for our lives!
The original Planet of Apes (1968) was an obvious allegory about race and nuclear arms. The underlying message condemned racism by reversing the historical relationship between whites and blacks. Like the current film, white humans were the mistreated slaves, and dark simians were the masters. When the original film was released, the black community was understandably distraught over the ape-African comparison, an insidious racist analogy to begin with. The derogatory association not only deepened stereotypes of the African-American, but increased fears of an eventual "Negro" takeover.
In White Man's Burden (1995), writer and director Desmond Nakano similarly presents an alternative America where the blacks are powerful and privileged, and the whites are uneducated and unemployed. While Nakano never apes the African-American community, he nevertheless presents a threatening world to racists who are incapable of processing the what-if-it-was-the-other-way-around scenario. Because successful blacks actually do exist, as do struggling whites, the film merely incites their anger. "Damn, look what's happening to America! The white man is getting screwed. If we don't do something, the black man is going to take over our whole, fucking planet!"
Burton's Planet of the Apes fuels this exact kind of racial defensiveness. The connection between the domineering apes and the growing black (and ethnic) culture in America is striking. Almost every human represented in the film is played by a white actor: an insignificant black man ends up getting killed, and a submissive Asian woman is virtually invisible. If humanity is represented as being white in the film, then apeness is understood as being colored. The black man and Asian woman represent minorities that have chosen to blend into whiteness: cultural sell-outs. And, according to the film, they too will suffer under ape domination.
The message of the film is clear: rule the planet. This aggressive tagline, seen in all of the film's advertising, is a clarion call for white society to regain control of civilization. If white people do not fight back, minorities will endanger white supremacy and threaten white culture. Either white people will rule the planet or the savages will.
But how can whites rule?
In one of the most subversive and misunderstood scenes of the summer, Charlton Heston, the president of the NRA (and the original white captain in the 1968 version of Planet of the Apes), plays the dying father of General Thade, the ruthless chimp on a mission to massacre every human being on the planet. Together for the last time, Thade's father reveals to his son the secret of the white man's previous mastery over the simians. He asks Thade to break a mysterious container in his room. When Thade smashes the container on the ground, he uncovers a gun!
In what has been considered a wry, political joke, Heston goes on to condemn the gun as a destructive force capable of wiping out their kind. But this is not an anti-gun stance, as many have claimed. Indeed, it is just the opposite. Heston, as Thade's father, represents the apes. He is NOT on the side of the white man. Thus the warning that Heston's simian character gives is, in reality, the key to white superiority. As long as white people have guns, as long as they are the masters of destructive technology, they will rule the planet!
The film's ending (as well as human history) demonstrates that this is in fact true.
The power shifts on the side of the white man when Leo Davidson (Mark Wahlberg) recovers his gun: only to have it knocked away later by the sympathetic Ari (Helena Bonham Carter). Damn liberal! However, Davidson is able to concoct an even more explosive weapon out of a tank full of gas. When a mob of vicious apes come rushing toward the innocent white community: KABOOM!!!! Fire (a Klan favorite) engulfs the attacking apes. This deadly explosion re-ignites the white community. A battle between the simians and humans ensues. The humans, lacking the necessary weapons, are both outnumbered and outmatched. When, suddenly, from out of the sky, the original space monkey returns!
The fighting immediately ceases, and the apes begin to gather around the landing spacecraft. They believe that the space monkey is their long-awaited Messiah (everyone knows how religious those apes are). But the space monkey turns out to be subservient to Davidson, the white alpha male. Davidson goes on to tell the simian community that their so-called Messiah was a murderer and that their genesis was a travesty. In a time when life was more peaceful, lectures Davidson, the humans were masters over the apes until the apes rebelled and turned all mean and nasty.
Sound familiar?
After Davidson thoroughly demeans everything that the simians have held sacred, the apes are unexplainably apologetic. Instead of hailing Semos a revolutionary for liberating them from a caged life, they humbly decide to live with the white humans in peace. Thade however makes one more attempt to kill Davidson. He seizes the gun, shifting the power once again to the side of the apes, foreshadowing what will happen in the future. Although Davidson is able to outwit him technologically, encapsulating him in a bulletproof casing, it is only a temporary peace. Davidson, who Ari makes clear is the new white Messiah, having replaced the silly monkey myth, heads back home in Christ-like style, ascending majestically into the sky.
Davidson eventually makes it to Earth, where he crash lands in the heart of Washington, D.C., skidding uncontrollably into the Lincoln Memorial. When Davidson gets out, he is shocked to see that the face of Lincoln has been replaced with the face of General Thade! What the hell? When Davidson turns around, the police, the press, and a host of other simians have surrounded him. The damn apes have taken over earth!
Davidson raises his hand in full surrender.
Of course, the ending makes absolutely no sense unless it is understood as a warning to white society. In the end, Lincoln and General Thade are one in the same; they both have contributed to the dominance of the black man in America. Peace is not possible. Who will protect the "helpless white minority"?
"The Ku Klux Klan, the organization that saved the planet from the anarchy of black rule."
Ugh, hide the sheets.

Rico Royal Alto Sax 10PK Reeds, 2
Rico Royal
Item No. 451177
Alt. Part # RJB1020
UPC Code 046716532954
Rico Royal saxophone reeds are great for intermediate and advancing players. They offer an added sound clarity and a more even response over the registers of the instrument as compared to the Rico "orange box" reeds, as well as consistency between multiple reeds in the same box. -Melinda
Rico Royal reeds have a more traditional French filed cut for increased response, especially in the low register, adding clarity to the tone and making soft attacks easier. The French filing allows for flexibility and fast response, and works well for classical and jazz applications.

DS-Xtreme is a new, groundbreaking way to mod your DS without the previous hassle. Before, DS modding required all kind of loophole, backward, workaround ways to get homebrew applications and "legal game backups" running on your DS. This way is a bit easier. It uses a GUI that easily interfaces with Windows XP via USB for drag-n-drop goodness. Plug the DS-Xtreme in and you are good to go. It includes 512MB of onboard flash memory.
Some sites are currently taking pre-orders. Mine is currently on pre-order from Divineo for $125 with an undetermined ship date for pre-orders, but no worries. We'll get you the first look once it arrives at my doorstep.

New fountain flows in front of DeMoss
Construction on the new fountain in front of Liberty University's Arthur S. DeMoss Learning Center, the main academic building on campus, is nearing completion as workers put water in it for the first time last week.
The fountain was installed in honor of those donors who supported the expansion of DeMoss to a four-story building, completed in 2000, according to Director of Planning and Construction Charles Spence. He said the final stage of construction calls for adding the donors' names to the fountain area.
The fountain, standing 19 feet tall and made of hand-carved marble from Italy, features three columns with water cascading from the tops of each. A cast-bronze eagle, Liberty's mascot, perches atop the tallest column.

Post-Tromatic Success Disorder—The 2nd annual TromaDance New Mexico film festival (Oct. 21-23) seemed to bring out the crowds with an impressive lineup of five feature films and 40-plus shorts, all produced through the blood, sweat and tears of local filmmakers. When the dust settled, the Audience Choice Awards ended up going to Scott Phillips' twisted superhero parody "Scream, Science Bastard, Scream" in the short category and to Richard Griffin's hillbilly monster movie Seepage in the feature category. The Burning Paradise Independent Spirit Award went to Heidi Griffin's documentary "The Subject to Change," while the "El Quemado" Grand Prize went to Cyndi Trissel's horror parody "Phone Friends." Congratulations to Burning Paradise, Troma Entertainment, the Guild Cinema and to all the filmmakers for their success.

Where the Truth Lies
Sexy showbiz mystery fails to convince
I'm just guessing here, but I would assume that filmmaker Atom Egoyan is a bit of an anomaly in Canada. Egyptian-born, Armenian-blooded, but raised in the chilly wilds of Western Canada, Egoyan has, for decades, been one of the premier agent provocateurs of the indie film biz. From the voyeuristic edge of his early work (Family Viewing, Speaking Parts) to the kinky kick of his middle-period films (The Adjuster, Exotica) to the mathematically precise heartbreak of his masterpiece (The Sweet Hereafter), Egoyan has created a body of work that excites and intrigues as many as it it offends. Among the clean cities, polite citizenry and universal healthcare of Canada, Egoyan and his sexually explicit excoriations of modern media and popular culture must seem--I don't know--a bit out of place, eh?

Chicken Little
Disney's computer-generated cartoon takes acorns and turns them into enjoyable, moderately sized saplings
It's sink or swim time for Disney. After enduring years of declining profits and management shake-ups—not to mention more stock market woes than Martha Stewart—the Mouse Corporation is releasing its first fully computer-generated feature cartoon made without the able assistance of Pixar. Having provided Disney with basically all of its unqualified successes in the last 10 years or so (Toy Story, Monsters Inc., The Incredibles), Pixar is now eager to dump the ungrateful Disney in favor of greener pastures and a bigger share of profits. Which leaves Disney in the unusual position of having to prove itself as an animation studio.

Comedy Central has finally found a perfect companion to its hit series "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" by commissioning a spin-off series for regular contributor Stephen Colbert. The show is styled after personality-driven talking-head TV commentators, pundits like Bill O'Reilly who don't report the news so much as parrot party-line opinions about the news so that like-minded individuals can feel good about themselves by agreeing wholeheartedly.

"Real Time With Bill Maher" (HBO 12 a.m.) Boy, Bill Maher picked a poor time, politically speaking, to head out on hiatus. I mean, look at all the juicy jokes that the current administration is supplying comedians with. Still, Bill does get extra credit for assembling one of the oddest guest combinations ever for his season finale: shock filmmaker John Waters and the former president of Ireland.

Mailbag: ACC Openings, Arkansas(?), Mustache Tricks, Tempo, Flan
ND replacements open up.
Hi Brian, I don't know if you've caught up with this yet but the ACC is going to an 8 game conference schedule in football from the present 9 games. This will create immediate schedule openings for ACC teams. The article below from the Atlanta paper discusses the impact on GA Tech and of ND coming into the ACC. Tech and Notre Dame will be permanent partners for home and home series in basketball. I wouldn't want UM to play GA Tech in football, with their Air Force/Navy type offense but there are a ton of other possibilities for us now within the ACC.
This puts Florida State and Clemson more on the table—and I should mention that FSU did have an Oklahoma series in addition to their annual Florida series recently, so they are not entirely averse to a second quality opponent. FSU will have to make sure they don't get Notre Dame in one of those years before anything firms up, but there are five years Michigan is looking for a sexy opponent. At least two of those years FSU will have an opening.
I'd bank on at least one ACC entering the picture in the 2016-2020 window, since two-thirds of a game every year has just opened up.
BONUS INSIDERY THING: This is not on the same level as the Alabama game prediction, which I was certain of, but I've heard from a decent source that Arkansas may be a team that pops up on the schedule in the near future. Jeff Long is a Michigan guy—thus the basketball series we've just completed—and only has TCU in 2016 as a quality opponent in the time frame Michigan will be looking for partners.
Arkansas is not on the level of a Notre Dame but as part of a schedule in which Michigan has two real opponents they're a good choice.
Do you think that Danny Hope is being vague on the status of Marve and Bolden just to keep Michigan off-balanced in game preparation? I doubt that we will see either player, but having to game plan for both a predominately pocket passer and a more mobile quarterback eats up a lot of practice time and film time. If Bolden and Marve were to be in the game, that back field if both healthy would be an athletic one which could give our defense issues.
Did I answer this question just because it came with a subject of "Mustache tricks (UNCLASSIFIED)"? That's classified.
I wouldn't put anything past coaches in their never-ending quests to gamesmanship themselves an extra yard or two, but I'm not sure about your policework there. TerBush is the athletic QB, Marve the more effective passer. Bolden is either available or not. Purdue's offense isn't going to shift that drastically based on the QB—routes will be the same, they're still going to be operating from the shotgun, etc.
In general, football coaches' manic attempts to get every edge possible are ridiculous. That stuff going down in Los Angeles is doing more damage to either LA program than the miniscule advantage provided by pretty much but not quite knowing the injury situation going into the game. It's especially grating when the same guys are like "scheme is overrated." You know what's overrated? Insane North Korea secrecy.
Can we go fast?
I'm a huge spread guy and I noticed that not once under Hoke has Michigan pushed tempo on offense unless late in halves or games. Can you explain this?
Ali Maki
There's a cost to that. Tempoing a defense requires everyone to be on the same page, restricts the package of plays you can use, and requires you to move to a different system of play-signaling.
I think it's a cost worth paying. One of the big takeaways from the Mott open practices is how often guys are not doing anything. That would drive me crazy as a coach, and does drive Chip Kelly crazy, so he set about cramming as much stuff in as possible during practice and then thinking about it after. The results have been pretty good.
Michigan doesn't, at least not right now. I get it. They've got a lot of stuff they're trying to cram into Denard and the OL without putting that extra weight on his shoulders. They haven't taken Tempo 301's prereqs.
Pretty much, buddy.
Do you or do you not support sending Denard on a safety blitz when Ohio State has a 3rd and 9 on the Michigan 40 with 3 minutes to play in a tie game-seems like a near guarantee that he would missile himself into Braxton Miller's spine, forcing a fumble which could then be returned by laquon treadwell who is visiting and has run on to the field in uncontrollable excitement.
If this happens I will donate my entire income for the 2013 fiscal year to Vincent Smith's estate.
I'd rather have Denard throw a poisoned flan at the guy, but I guess your plan could work too.

Sounds like Adderall is being used as an excuse for players who don't want to admit they are taking steroids. Do you believe BB and Sherm were really taking Adderall for it's energy/focus benefits well knowing they could get a 4 game suspension, or do you think they were taking steroids and just using Adderall as an excuse? Do you care? Which is worse in your mind?

About Me
- Name: Art Bulla
The Revelations of Jesus Christ
While journeying on foot about 10:00 P.M. in the east, being inducted into the armed forces the next day, being on the way to the bus station to travel to the armed forces induction station in Raleigh, N.C, I received the following vision, while on the road on foot:
December 29, 1969, while enwrapped in a heavenly vision, It seemed that I, Art Bulla, was removed out of my body, or whether in the body or out of it I could not tell, and I beheld his face, and He spake unto me face to face as one man speaks unto another for forty-five minutes or an hour, and whether in the body or out of it, I could not tell, for I beheld his glory, which surpasses all understanding, and spake while in the vision, in a much better tongue than any spoken by man at this time, which I supposed to be the Adamic Tongue, my understanding being quickened by such might and intelligence and power that it is beyond the mind of man unaided by the Spirit of Revelation which dwells yet within me, to comprehend, and indeed no words can convey, for it seemed that I was transfigured before Him of whom I speak, my God in whom I bear record as others have before me, that He lives, for I too have seen Him. And tongue cannot express his matchless might, glory, power and intelligence, and I shall forever
adore his glory, for having once beheld his face and felt of his love and might and power and beheld things which I cannot convey, for there is no language, I must, I MUST obtain his presence, and I shall not be content with anything else, this world or its allurements. And having been ordained unto the Holy Order of God which is after the Order of Melchizedec, even the Holy Apostleship, the keys of which I hold, I bear record of my Father, for I have seen Him and conversed with him, and I testify that He shall return in this the Latter Day as soon as my people are straightened from this crooked and perverse generation which shall be destroyed by the might of his power, and that they be gathered out according to the Revelations which are being given unto me, almost daily at this time, which is one of the darkest periods and most wicked because of unbelief in the history of the earth, that Zion may descend and that the heavens and the earth mingle and become One, as prayed by the Only Begotten, even my brother Jesus of Nazereth. Yea, my Father, I pray that thy will be done and thy Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. Even so. Amen

Instead of the rambling presentation typically offered in this column space — sentences detoured by dashes, interrupted with ellipses and packed with parenthetical asides (wordy wanderings to which my editor has often referred as "Byzantine" in their complexity), this time, well … where was I? Ah yes, this time things will be different. Let's get right down to business.
I'm running a Halloween photo contest. (That was probably my shortest, most direct sentence ever!) Send in your pics of past — or present, if you have your decorations up already — delightfully devilish outdoor displays, your freakishly frightful front-porch phenoms, your ghoulishly gruesome garden-gnome graveyards. All for the once-in-a-lifetime chance to win absolutely nothing at all except the opportunity to get your photo in print or, at the very least, in an online slideshow accompanying my column at www.insidebayarea.com on Oct. 28.
Things that go bump
All entries will also be posted on the Pinterest board I'm going to set up as soon as I get done writing this and I figure out how to set up a Pinterest board. Pinterest, for those, like me, who don't really know, is an online refrigerator door of sorts where people stick up cool shots of all sorts of things they like and everybody can, well, look at them. My Halloween board will be at www.pinterest.com/giveemhill.
Even though glamorous "Price is Right" prizes like new cars or trips to the Bahamas are not in the cards or my budget — let's just say you won't win enough to buy the farm — I think it will be fun anyway. At least for me.
As many of you may know, my husband and I are major Halloween fiends, and we always do a huge horrific display on our front lawn. You'll get the idea from the accompanying photo. This automatically qualifies me as an expert. Therefore, by virtue of having a closet full of medical-grade skeletons, flocks of rubber vampire bats and enough pingpong eyeballs to play eyeball pingpong for a good long time, I am the self-appointed photo contest judge.
Vital statistics
Please email your images to firstname.lastname@example.com. If you can't, snail mail a hard copy to me, attention Angela Hill, Oakland Tribune, 1970 Broadway, Oakland, 94621. We'll scan it into our image desk.
Also, please provide the following info:
So scare up your stuff and send it my way. There's always room for one more.
You can contact Angela Hill at firstname.lastname@example.com.

North Idaho Correctional Institution (NICI) is a program-specific prison with an operating capacity of 414 male offenders. NICI primarily houses offenders sentenced under a retained jurisdiction sentence. Retained jurisdiction provides a sentencing alternative for courts to target offenders who might, after a period of programming and evaluation, be viable candidates for probation rather than incarceration.
Two escapees from North Idaho Correctional Institution are back behind bars and facing new felony charges after a short-lived escape Saturday morning from the Idaho Department of Correction's (IDOC) facility at Cottonwood.
Ridge S. Dains, 21, of Boise, and Caleb J. Thomas, 20, of Caldwell, were arrested Monday morning, Jan. 20, in a stolen vehicle near Walla Walla, Wash. Extradition for the pair is pending to Idaho County where they potentially face charges of escape and grand theft.
Retained jurisdiction is when a judge, after sentencing an individual to a correctional institution, may retain jurisdiction over that individual, which typically lasts 180 days. At the end of that time, the prison is returned to the court where his or her progress is evaluated to determine whether more severe punishment should commence or the original sentence entered by the court should be changed.
In a press release, IDOC stated it is conducting a thorough review of the incident. In response to Free Press inquiries, no comment was provided on how the pair escaped NICI, or how they traversed more than 10 miles south to Canyon Road where they are suspected in stealing a vehicle to escape the area.
At the time of the escape, Dains and Thomas were on retained jurisdiction at NICI. Thomas was incarcerated on charges of grand theft, arson and destruction, alteration or concealment of evidence, and solicitation to commit perjury, which were incurred in Payette and Canyon counties from 2011 to 2013. Dains was incarcerated on a 2013 Canyon County burglary conviction. Both were to complete their riders this fall.
On Saturday, Jan. 18, according to the Idaho County Sheriff's Office (ICSO), the pair was reported as escaped at 12:05 a.m. They are alleged to have fled the area in Allen Lusby's 1992 Toyota Corolla – unlocked but not containing the keys — stolen from a Canyon Road residence north of Grangeville, along with firearms and ammunition, belonging to Wes Lester, that were stored on the property. ICSO reported clothing found at the scene matched that worn by the escaped inmates.
Along with ICSO, the IDOC's Correctional Emergency Response Team was activated, along with assistance from the Cottonwood Police Department and Lewis County Sheriff's Office. Footprints were found in the snow leading away from the prison. During that morning's search, ICSO Deputy Randy Long, 43, was injured when at 2:50 a.m. his 2012 Dodge Charger patrol vehicle went off Cottonwood Butte Road and into a tree. Long was transported to St. Mary's Hospital in Cottonwood where he was held overnight for observation and released Sunday.
The following Monday, Jan. 20, 7:49 a.m., the pair was spotted in a vehicle with Idaho plates at the Zip-Zone Market in Walla Walla by a citizen who had seen notice about the escapees on Facebook, according to a Walla Walla County Sheriff's Office (WWCSO) press release. Information provided by the citizen found the Toyota Corolla was reported stolen out of Idaho and was related to the Jan. 18 escape. Officers were dispatched to the area; however, the suspects had since left the area. The pair was shortly after spotted in the Lowden area driving by WWCSO deputy who, assisted by additional county deputies and the Washington State Patrol, pursued the suspects as they briefly attempted to evade; however, they drove down a dead-end street.
Dains, the driver, and Thomas were taken into custody without incident. Officers recovered a loaded .45-caliber pistol under the passenger seat, ownership of which is undetermined, and in the trunk was the SKS assault rifle reported stolen in Idaho County.
The last escape from NICI was in August of 2009 when Emmanuel O. Jones went over the security fence, stole a vehicle from a nearby residence of a prison employee and fled to Nampa where he was taken into custody after a high-speed pursuit. As a result of the escape, Jones earned an additional three years in prison to be served with his original 12- to 25-year sentence.

I'm perhaps cynical by nature on many accounts and yet always happy to see/be part of positive change- which brings me to my question: What is a perfect recruiter? Assumption #1: A recruiter can find you the perfect apartment- however, that doesn't guarantee you'll be there the whole year. The recruiter doesn't have the power to tell the owner- "Don't move them- even once!" Assumption #2: A recruiter can find you the "nice owner" - and as with all things- the nice owner doesn't always stay nice as for any human being. So- nothing can be guaranteed on this account accept for a lot of hot air. Assumption #3: The perfect recruiter can get references from teachers at the school. However, this doesn't guarantee that some kind of gun isn't held to their head in some way when the they speak with you. Assumption #4: The perfect recruiter will perhaps hold your hand from the airport to the school. Yet- beyond that there really isn't much they can do. As to whether a recruiter is great or not is subjective- it depends on who is on the receiving end. Someone will benefit- either you or the employer. The question always is "Who?" ________________________________________________________ The perfect recruiter is the recruiter who tells you first these things- I have no control over very much (at very least he's/she's honest). The pefect recruiter will find you/the employer a "middle-ground" upon which both parties agree the situation is suitable. The perfect recruiter will give the potential employee tips on everything about Korea without fearing that they'll lose the $1,000,000 WON. Not- "Oh- it's going to B paradise!" The perfect recruiter will do his/her best to make sure that many of the surprises are minimized- though the perfect recruiter will never say- "It's perftect!" The perfect recruiter will encourage you to save as though you could get fired after 6 months- but- sign for the 12. The perfect recruiter too will have immigration/the Labor Board's respect so as to insure you get a fair shake. Not some foreigner with a torn T-shirt fighting for your rights. What would be your version of a perfect recruiter?Last edited by humanuspneumos on Mon Jul 07, 2003 5:03 pm; edited 3 times in total Back to top GordJoined: 25 Feb 2003 Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2003 3:56 am Post subject: Re: The perfect recruiter: What? humanuspneumos wrote: What would be your version of a perfect recruiter?

There are "some" recruiters (not very many) that work for smaller franchises at their head office who do not get paid recruiter's fee. These people generally have little power, but have some influence over the whole duration of the year toward the director because they get the teacher for "free" This is rare however, but I could name a few.

Telia and Spotify sign exclusive cooperation agreement
Telia and Spotify have signed a two-year cooperation agreement to work together developing Spotify's music service for computers, mobile phones and eventually TV as well. Another consequence of the agreement is that Spotify's services will be sold and marketed in a new way in the Swedish market.
Among other things, Telia and Spotify will cooperate to make this successful music service available in even more channels. As a result, sometime in the future, Telia's customers will be the first to be able to use Spotify in their computers and mobile phones, as well as TV. "We are both able and willing to bring Spotify to the Swedish people and increase the interest in a simple, safe and completely legal way of listening to music," says Stefan Trampus, Head of Broadband Services at TeliaSonera in Sweden. This is yet another step towards being able to offer Swedish homes the very best digital entertainment services that exist today. In this regard, Spotify is a perfect match. In a few months, Telia and Spotify will launch a mobile offering to customers in the Swedish market. "Swedish people love music and for the connected generation, being able to take their favorite music with them wherever they go is a given. That is why we are making preparations to launch Spotify mobile phones, which will make it even easier to get started and listen to music wherever and whenever you want to," says Erik Hallberg, Head of Mobility Services at TeliaSonera in Sweden. At present, Spotify and music streaming services account for 35.4 percent of the total digital music sales in Sweden according IFPI, the trade association for the recording industry worldwide. Spotify expects that the new agreement will take the company to even new heights in its already tremendously successful campaign, which began in October 2008. "We want to make it possible for even more people to be able to use Spotify. That is why we are extremely pleased about this cooperation agreement. Telia's strong market position will enable use to reach out on a much wider scope than before," says Spotify CEO, Daniel Ek. Currently, more than 5.5 million people around the world use Spotify's music service and the service is continually being developed and improved. At first, early adopters were the only ones using the service. Now, it reaches an ever-growing audience, not least because the service is so easy to use along with the fact that it works in all type of computers and more and more types of mobile phones. New information will continuously be available on www.telia.se/spotify

8 Secrets To Dressing Like A French Girl
Now, after combing through photo after photo of effortlessly chic ensembles, we think we've finally cracked the code. Read on to get the secrets of French style, from your chapeau down to your chaussures.
Secret 1: Vive Le Smoking!
The seductive staple, invented in the '60s by Yves Saint Laurent, still holds as much sway today.

Secret 2: Less Is More
Sometimes it's the stripped down, uncomplicated outfits that make the most impact.

Secret 3: Flats Are Your Friend
Flats are the footwear of choice for a gamine French girl. Plus, they're way more practical for manoeuvring on cobblestone streets.

Secret 4: Keep Accessories Minimal
Take a subtler approach to adornment with minimalistic gold accents, like a delicate bar necklace.

Secret 5: Stick With Your Moto Jacket
Whenever you're pondering your outerwear choice, put on a motorcycle jacket and don't look back. Trust us (or rather, the French girls): there's nothing cooler.

Secret 6: Leave It Undone
Whether it's your shirt half-tucked with a few buttons undone or your boots folded over and left a bit unlaced, looking purposefully unpolished is a French art form.

Secret 7: Show Skin In Unexpected Ways
Showing décolletage and too much leg? Le boring. French girls much prefer less expected ways of baring skin, like showing off the shoulders or a bare back.

Secret 8: Add One Alluring Piece
A body-skimming leather skirt feels even more intriguing when contrasted with a chunky knit sweater and sneakers.
