They wonder whether or not there is a gratitude level that’s significant enough in Iraq
I didn’t see Bush’s 60 Minutes interview because the cable was out and I could only watch one program with the antenna, so I went with “24,” just to see how long it took for the writers to resort to their favorite piece of dialog, “What are you talking about?” Less than five minutes. And again before the end of the hour. I fully expect by the end of the season there will be a scene in which two characters, possibly Jack and Chloe, just repeat “What are you talking about?” over and over while applying electric shocks to each other. It’ll be the highest-rated episode ever.
No, I didn’t say they were naked, that’s just how you pictured it in your filthy, filthy mind.
But there is a transcript of the interview, you’ll be pleased to hear.
Bush said he really did seriously weigh the pros and cons of withdrawing from Iraq, and he takes us step by step through his thought process: “I thought long and hard about would withdrawal cause victory or cause success. And the answer is I don’t believe so, and neither do a lot of experts. And so then I began to think, well, if failure’s not an option and we’ve gotta succeed, how best to do so? And that’s why I came up with the plan I did.” The man uses logic like a scalpel, doesn’t he?
Asked if the instability in Iraq wasn’t caused by, you know, him, Bush said, “Well, our administration took care of a source of instability in Iraq. Envision a world in which Saddam Hussein was rushing for a nuclear weapon to compete against Iran.” Dude, for the 9,000th time: there was no nuclear weapons program.
Asked about the mistakes he admitted in Wednesday’s speech having made, Bush said, “Abu Ghraib was a mistake.” Oops?
Other mistakes? “Using bad language like, you know, ‘bring them on’ was a mistake.” Yeah, but at this stage I don’t think “bad language” even makes it onto the list of your top 100 mistakes, Georgie.
And troops levels, he admits after prompting, “Could have been a mistake.” He says that he referred to mistakes in the speech because he didn’t want anyone blaming the military. “Well, if the people want a scapegoat, they got one right here in me ‘cause it’s my decisions.” Of course just ten seconds before that, when admitting that troops levels could have been a mistake, the Scapegoat-in-Chief subtly slipped in a mention of “John Abizaid, one of the planners. And ten seconds later, asked if there are enough troops there now, he responded, “Let’s let the historians work it out.” My, but that “cause it’s my decisions” thing sure didn’t last long. And it gets worse:
PELLEY: Do you think you owe the Iraqi people an apology for not doing a better job?
BUSH: That we didn’t do a better job or they didn’t do a better job?
PELLEY: Well, that the United States did not do a better job in providing security after the invasion.
BUSH: Not at all. I am proud of the efforts we did. We liberated that country from a tyrant. I think the Iraqi people owe the American people a huge debt of gratitude, and I believe most Iraqis express that. I mean, the people understand that we’ve endured great sacrifice to help them. That’s the problem here in America. They wonder whether or not there is a gratitude level that’s significant enough in Iraq.
PELLEY: Americans wonder whether . . .
BUSH: Yeah, they wonder whether or not the Iraqis are willing to do hard work necessary to get this democratic experience to survive. That’s what they want.
Pelley asked twice “Is Muqtada al-Sadr an enemy of the United States?” Bush sidestepped the question both times: “Anybody who murders innocent people or frustrating the ambitions of the Iraqi people and the United States” ... “If he is ordering his people to kill Americans, he is.”
He also sidestepped on whether Iran’s (alleged) interventions in Iraq amount to an act of war against the United States: “I’m not a lawyer. So act of war is kind of a . . . I’m not exactly sure how you define that. Let me just say it’s unacceptable.” So it’s an act of unacceptability.
Asked what he would tell the Iranian president: “I’d say, first of all, to him, ‘You’ve made terrible choices for your people. ... You’ve threatened countries with nuclear weapons.” He threatened which countries with what nuclear weapons? “‘You’ve said you want a nuclear weapon. You’ve defied international accord.’” Then he’d tell Ahmadinejad, “it’s in your interest to have a unified nation on your border.” Yeah, remember back in the ‘80s when you had a unified nation on your border? Good times, good times.
Bush says he saw “some of” the Saddam snuff film – on the internet! – but didn’t really enjoy it: “I was satisfied when we captured him. I’m just not . . .revenge isn’t necessarily something that causes me to react. In other words, I’m not a revengeful person.”
He says of the Congressional opponents of escalation: “we’ve got people criticizing this plan before it’s had a chance to work.” No, we’ve got people criticizing this plan before it’s had a chance to fail. Which is kind of the right time to be criticizing it.
Asked about the perception that the administration has lied, rather often, to the American people: “The minute we found out they didn’t have weapons of mass destruction, I was the first to say so.”
Asked if he feels let down by his subordinates, he says Cheney’s a “great” veep and Rumsfeld “did a really fine job.” “I feel like this country is blessed to have those kind of people serving.” As they say on “24,” what are you talking about?

If you ask me, the '90s are having a full tilt revival right now, and there's nothing low-key about it. I recently found myself getting ready to go out on a Friday night, and I looked in the mirror at the outfit I had constructed only to realize that the slip dress, leather moto jacket, and tiny-strap heels I had on weren't as 2018 as I had originally thought. My outfit was undoubtedly influenced by '90s fashion trends.
That outfit is actually one that I wear pretty frequently on the weekends or to events. So if wearing head-to-toe '90s items is a "throwback", I don't ever want to be "current". I've long imagined myself wearing my leather jacket and slip dress for years to come, even pledging never to take it off despite L.A.'s 90-degree heat. In my mind, these items are far more timeless than they are fleeting. Keep reading to see which '90s "trends" actually have major staying power in my closet.
Events, weddings, dinners—the slip dress is the universal piece of cocktail attire that everyone needs a version of in their closet.
Neutral handbags, especially structured shapes, give any outfit a polished update (no, you don't have to be wearing a skirt suit, though it certainly doesn't hurt).
Leopard print ebbs and flows as a trend every few years, but it never truly goes "out" of style.
This one hardly needs explaining. SJP made the LBD iconic, and we're still not over it decades later.
Okay, strappy heels are having a moment right now, but I'd argue that the shoes deserve a permanent spot on your closet.
I'm a little biased here, as I wear my leather jacket every other day. We have the '90s to thank for the edgy jacket's nonstop relevance.
Available in sizes 32 to 42.

Particularly, this paragraph, and particularly the portion I highlighted in bold:

I had a recent (very successful!) gallery show of prints up to 20"x30" from the E-3. Got many comments about how "natural" the prints looked. Several people said they didn't realize at first they were photographs. They used terms such as "relaxed, smooth and inviting" to describe them. Several, including other photographers, thought they were from film, though the photographers said they were puzzled by the lack of film grain. They were surprised to hear they were digital. Several, including buyers, said they generally don't like prints from digital cameras because they are too "self-conscious" in that they have too much unnecessary detail, too obviously photographic, and too unpleasant to live with on the wall, even if initially striking.

What do people think? It's a very interesting observation, in my opinion.

There's another consideration. If you've bought a kick-backside camera and a kick-backside lens, you're going to want to show off their abilities. You're less inclined to try some lo-fi effects. The camera manufacturers want you to buy as much as possible. You need all those megapixels and you need that a-mazing lens. You want to do things that show them off as much as possible. Artistic considerations are set aside for technical showcasing. The results can be dazzling. Especially if you throw in some deft post-processing. But for many people this is digital. Too much detail, too much colour, too much "pop". And they find film comforting in that they perceive it as warmer, softer and more human. Now we know film can give technically amazing results and digital can be understated. It's just when people see the "hyper-real", they associate it with digital.

But it does give some food for thought. Maybe we do need to back off a little and think about what we're doing. Is the gear determining what we do or are we the ones deciding where we're going?


Is the District looking for ways to cut service and increase costs for residents and businesses? That’s what will happen, at least, if the D.C. Council adopts a proposed ordinance that would institute a taxi medallion system in the city and could cut the number of taxis serving the public in half.
There goes the neighborhood — literally — as taxi drivers inevitably would abandon low-margin trips in outer neighborhoods such as Anacostia to concentrate on the milk runs to the airport or serve higher-income customers along K Street and Capitol Hill.
That conclusion may seem exaggerated, but other cities that have restricted taxicab availability have had that kind of result. It’s simple economics. Drivers focus on fares that generate the highest return, and their ability to do so will increase as competition becomes more limited.
Medallions are metal plates issued to vehicles authorized to operate as taxis. Medallions have been around for decades in some cities and were widely adopted during the 1930s as an attempt to limit competition from new cab companies.
The big winners in a medallion system are large existing companies. Once medallion systems are put in place and the supply is restricted, as the D.C. ordinance explicitly aims to do, the price of medallions goes through the roof. In New York, medallions sell for upward of $600,000. The going price in Boston is $400,000. Even in small taxi markets such as Columbus, Ohio and Minneapolis, taxi medallions and licenses have sold for more than $25,000.
The average wage for a taxi driver in the D.C. metropolitan area hovers around $32,000 per year, and a medallion system would quickly squeeze out the little guy. These workers can have trouble making ends meet as it is, and start-up entrepreneurs are easily overwhelmed by the challenge of getting the hundreds of thousands of dollars needed just to buy a plate giving them permission to drive. As a result, medallions essentially relegate drivers to working for a big cab company. Rather than funnel revenue into buying (or upgrading) their vehicles, these drivers shell out thousands of dollars each year in leases to medallion owners.
Meanwhile, the big cab companies lock in their dominant position by borrowing to buy up more medallions, making it virtually impossible for a company to start from scratch. Indeed, the initial deal proposed in the District’s ordinance is pretty sweet. If you’re a company that has been around for 30 years or more, you will have to pay an initial price of $500 for an unrestricted medallion. If you’re a company younger than 20, the cost will be $5,000.
That creates some fast revenue for the city, but the real benefit would accrue to the cab companies after the initial sale because the ordinance creates an instant shortage by limiting the number of medallions to 4,000 (in a city with 10,672 licensed cabdrivers and 116 licensed companies). This virtually guarantees a black market for medallions and huge increases in price.
The biggest losers in this system, however, are likely to be outer neighborhoods such as lower-income sections of Southeast and Northeast. With substantially fewer taxis available to meet demand, drivers will pick the most lucrative routes.
That’s what’s happened in other cities with medallion systems. Boston’s Hackney Division estimates that 70 percent of its taxis provide service to downtown or the airport, leaving just 30 percent of the fleet to work neighborhoods that make up 86 percent of the city.
The most likely outcome for the District’s lower-income neighborhoods is the emergence of a thriving, if dysfunctional, black market for cab services. While these so-called “gypsy” cabs fill a legitimate demand for transportation, their inability to use the formal legal and regulatory system to enforce contracts and performance standards puts both customers and drivers at risk.
The medallion system combined with a cap on taxis practically guarantees reduced service, higher costs and less innovation in the District’s taxi market. Everyone will suffer except the big cab companies. A far better approach would be to scrap the medallion proposal all together and focus on maintaining what is one of the most entrepreneurial taxi markets in the nation.

Wright On: Rumor has ‘it’ factor
By BART WRIGHT Hawaii Tribune-Herald | Monday, January 7, 2019, 1:05 p.m.
HOLLYN JOHNSON/Tribune-Herald With Honolii as her second home and talent to shred, 15-year-old Rumor Butts is working toward a rare feat: becoming a Big Island homegrown top-ranked professional women’s surfer. “I want to be the first,” she said, “but I realize it might take a few years.'
The unrelenting issue for Hilo-side surfers whose dreams of someday emerging on a professional circuit, traveling the world for waves, is the simple fact of geography.
This is no news at all to the more ambitious members of the surfing community here, who have heard it all before, more than they care to recall.
When the sponsors go searching for new talent to support in this state, they head to Oahu, for the obvious reasons of greater population and globally known prime surf areas. Sometimes they take a peek at Kona-area talent, but if they think of Hilo at all, it’s an afterthought, which is why Pahoa’s Ulu Napeahi is such a rare treasure, one of the few who achieved tour status from this side of the Big Island.
It’s not impossible to be seen and taken seriously, it’s just very rare, which is why there’s been some enthusiasm about Hilo’s 12-year-old Diesel Butts possibly emerging as the next one to crack through the big wave barrier.
But he’s not the only one here envisioning a career on a board. If you heard there was a Rumor of another one on the verge of breaking through, be advised it is no Rumor.
Next up just might be Rumor Star Butts, the 15-year-old sister of Diesel, who happens to be rated the No. 1 women’s surfer on the Big Island, with a string of top finishes and championships that makes you wonder why she hasn’t already been signed to major sponsor.
Yes, some of it has to do with sexism, even in this sport that is generally considered to be more open-minded and accepting of all who can win, regardless where they come from.
Still, women surfers don’t get the same attention as their male counterparts, and the half-dozen or so older Big Island women who have been on tour end up spending more money traveling to get to the same spots other women surfers live and train.
Alessa Quizon, an Oahu tour veteran from Makaha, is one of those that Rumor would like to emulate someday.
“She’s just good,” Butts said the other day at Honoli’i, “I admire her and I’d like to get on (the World Surf League) tour someday.”
She’s been annually certified as a Junior Lifeguard, so there will always be a fallback position for her, but there’s no denying her intent.
Rumor Butts is in the water today, tomorrow, and the day after that. She was asked how often she surfs and almost seemed confused by the question. For her, surfing is what is done on a daily basis.
If there was a day she missed the last couple of years, she can’t recall it.
She has competitions coming up the next two weeks, she attacks her training daily, looking to “get vertical” and complete those rides down the crest of the wave, then, instead of getting away gradually by turning sideways and riding it out, she scoots back up and makes something happen in the air.
Her style might best be described as attention-getting. If she were a basketball player, she’d be a point guard, no-look passes, surprising crossover steps, startling leaping ability.
Here we have a young woman power surfer making an aggressive approach to the sport, working at it every bit as much if not more than some of the athletes she walks the halls with at Hilo High School. She doesn’t work in surfing around her schedule, she works her schedule around surfing.
It’s all the more impressive in that Rumor Butts didn’t grow up in a surfing family, per se. Yes, her father, Quinton, used to surf, and so did her grandfather, but Rumor and Diesel didn’t know that life as adolescents.
“Really, we were more a mountain-type family,” said Quinton. “We worked the taro fields, it was an everyday thing, and we hunted, we found our work, our livelihood, you could say, away from the water. We were focused on that taro.”
One day, Quinton’s father pulled him aside.
“He told me we should remember what we did as kids, he said, ‘It’s not good that all they do is work the taro,’” Quinton said. “It was like a light came on.”
He got a couple long boards, took the two young ones to Hakalau, and over four days in a row the father taught the children the basics of surfing.
On the first day they were standing up on the board by themselves, riding waves like real surfers. Quinton didn’t wait to introduce the short boards.
“It took them about a week to make a complete transition (from long to short boards),” he said, “but really, they were both naturals, they took to it right away and they learned a lot on their own. They just kept going.”
And just like that Rumor Butts and her younger brother realized an important life lesson — they weren’t built to be pulling weeds in a taro patch, they were built to surf.
“It was really exciting to get started,” Rumor said, “because I always liked the surfing groups I would see, it looked like fun.”
Since then, she began entering competitions and finished third in the open category in the first contest she entered, a week after she first got up on a short board.
Yeah, this was her game.
There are other women’s surfers from the Big Island, but there isn’t one who was discovered early, given solid sponsorship support and quickly matured into a top-ranked professional.
“I want to be the first,” she said, “but I realize it might take a few years.”
Not a lot of 15 year-olds being paid to fly around the world in major surf competitions, but by the time she’s 20?
“I think I will have a chance,” she said.
Her mother, Laura, is arguably her biggest supporter.
“There are a lot of things that haven’t been done until somebody did them,” she said, with irrefutable logic of the daughter she named after Demi Moore’s daughter. “I just want to be supportive, it starts with getting out there everyday and improving your skills. I think she can do it.”
Quinton is enthused about the prospect of two native Hawaiians making the pro tour at some point.
“That would mean a lot to me and to a lot of other people,” he said.
Basic Image has helped with some sponsorship, Body Glove provides some supplies, but traveling to the bigger competitions in California, or even Oahu, gets costly, in a hurry. A major sponsor would solve that issue and give her a true opportunity to earn her way.
“Just a chance,” she said when asked what it will take to get to the tour, and she’s probably right. She works on her aerials every day, she’s better this month than she was last month, but there’s still that gender ceiling that makes it more difficult for women than for men.
Sometimes, work is the answer, and when the work is your love, the chances of success can go up like those air game stunts above a wave at Honoli’i.
Let him know if there’s someone out there people need to know about at barttribuneherald@gmail.com

3.00 p.m. A wet night, and raining today. Everything very messy. Since we came in we have had 39 casualties. I didn’t go up in a ‘plane after all. They have been trying to find the elephant all this p.m. with 5.9’s, and some have come within a few yards. A change tonight, and I may win Pak’s bet! G.N. has issued an order of the day—quite good. It has been thick and raining all day. Pres’d ration and bully beef and biscuit, but Fergie brought up bread, tinned milk, etc. So while other Bns. have nothing but rations for a week our men have done well.
1. The poor weather caused a 48-hour postponement of the attack. As a result, the two Battalions north of the River Ancre would swap roles, with 9th Royal Irish Fusiliers moving into support in Mesnil.
2. The special ‘Order of the Day’ was issued on 20 June 1916 by Major General Nugent while the Division was preparing for the attack ahead:
‘On the eve of the offensive for which the Ulster Division has trained and waited for so many months I wish that every officer and man of the Division should know how absolutely confident I feel that the honour of the British army, that the honour of Ulster are in safe keeping in their hands.
It has been my privilege to command the Division in France during the past nine months, during which time I have had various opportunities of seeing that it has been steadfast in defence and gallant in minor offensives.
The time has now come to show to the world the qualities which fit it for the great offensive about to open.
Much is expected of the Ulster Division, and I am certain that the expectation will be fulfilled. Resolution, self-reliance and the spirit that knows no surrender and no defeat are present in full measure in every unit of the Division, and will bear fruit in the battlefield which will redound to the credit of our country.
Nine months ago the King after his inspection of the Division desired me to write and tell him how it bore itself in its first great encounter with the enemy.
I know that I shall be able to write and tell him that the men of the Ulster Division bore themselves like men in the day of battle, and did all that was expected of them.
To every officer and man of the Division I say — Success and Honour.’

In a way, I am typical Japanese. When somebody passed away, we hold Buddhist's funeral.
I went to a Christian school for Jr. High, Sr. High and college.
In new year, I go to Japanese shrine wishing happy and prosperous year.
It is like balancing all the religion and philosophy.
It does not mean we do not respect Islams and/or Christians.... Hope you understand this.
During Ramadan ( right now ), they treat the visitors ( if you get there before 7p.m. you can probably get your plate.) with this Iftar.
I didn't expect this much. It was wonderful. There was also drinks ( orange juice and water ), salad to be served to individuals, pastry and slices of bread.
There were so many people. I went with three other friends and in order to let make seats for the people waiting in line, we need to leave quickly, but if I have chance, I would love to learn more about Islam.
The reason? I feel it is sad that often there are wars because of the difference in beliefs. Understanding other culture could help mutual understandings.
I know many people say there is only one god in Christianity and also in Islam.
Also, it is more profound and not so simple. Still, this is my attitude.... trying to learn more.

It’s a free whiteboard app called ShowMe that will currently play 1.5 million teacher-produced lessons. The first iteration of the app has been downloaded over 400,000 times. Now, with an updated version that empowers users to create, search and share lessons, it’s ready to emerge as a leader in the digital education revolution ushered in by the iPad. ShowMe, like other whiteboard apps, captures what users draw on the iPad screen but it also records their voice. Creations are then stored and can be shared with others. For users, ShowMe capitalizes on the touch computing of the iPad, which feels more interactive than a mouse and keyboard, but it also provides the “pen on paper” look-and-feel. While glossy educational animations can do a lot to teach concepts, ShowMe captures more intuitive learning by showing handwritten sketches and notes as well as showing them revealed in real time. This lends itself to following along with the reasoning behind explanations that makes certain teachers so successful in helping students learn.


Maybe not on its own, but with a little help from its accessory friends, the ASUS PadFone unveiled today at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona can really be all three of those things.
The latest Spring and Summer fashions aren’t the only things that designer Marchesa is showing off at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week. Marchesa and HP have teamed up to design and produce a special limited edition laptop that is covered in special patterns made of Swarovski crystals.
The Toshiba Qosmio X500 has a great reputation as a gaming laptop, but it has just taken an extra step and introduced some seriously cool updates. It now enables you to view movies and play games in 3D, and you can display 3D footage on a compatible TV via the HDMI interface.
Whatâ€™s so exciting about this is the face mapping software theyâ€™ve introduced, to give you glasses free 3D which uses eyeball tracking to give you the perfect picture. The software utilizes the built in webcam to map your eyes to nose ratio, and using this they make sure that however you move you always get the perfect picture. Details and images of how this works are a little vague, but you can see the picture above for an idea of how this functions.
Theyâ€™ve also created a cool function that I like to call â€˜3D upscalingâ€™ which will render 2D content into 3D viewings, using the Toshiba Video Player 3D software. This will hugely expand you DVD library, by allowing you to view classics in a whole new way.
The laptop uses the second generation Intel Core i7 processor to enable multiple application use at fast speeds and features 8GB of RAM.
The updated laptop will be available from the end of January 2011. Price TBA.

Hi! My name is Kevin Ryan (not the guitar maker) and I've been playing professionally since 1967. First in The Undecided (Grand Rapids, MI) and then the Nacho Men in Denver, CO. After getting out of the corporate rat-race (and band life) I decided to do what I love - playing, buying and selling cool instruments. I also buy/sell and keep muscle cars and other fun collectibles. I'm not a storefront dealer, which means no overhead transfers to YOU! Usually what I have will be listed here, but feel free to call and see what's on tap. You never know, I may have your next cool guitar or amp.
And if you need the ride of your life - check out The Voxmobile! Yeah BABY! Sold The Voxmobile to comedian Jeff Dunham!
I'm also on ebay under dream-finders and I have 100% positive feedback. I have lots of happy customers in the US and overseas. Read my feedback and you'll see. I want you to feel completely comfortable with your purchase/sale and will answer all emails promptly and happily.
I am always buying cool stuff and will either wire transfer or pay cash. No BS.
Cash, wire transfer and PayPal.
I ship FedEx - they are great and I love them.
I stand behind my products 100%.

Having problems with your Polaroid i733LP Digital Camera ?

HELP!!! PLEASE!! ONE DAY WHEN I WAS TAKING A PICTURE MY CAMERA I733 MODEL WENT DEAD OR QUIT NOW WE HAVE CHANGED THE BATTERIES AND IT WONT TURN ON AND THE BARREL WONT MOVE AND IT'S OUT. IF YOU HAVE A SOLUTION PLEASE NOTIFY ME THANK YOU.

Answers :

Try changing the batteries to Duracell alkaline...it seems to work. I had a similar problem, now the camera is fine again.\015\012 \015\012THe Polaroid i733 has two battery settings. You can access these by pressing the menu key and selecting set up. You can choose Alkaline or NimH. I suggest Duracell Alkaline. If you are using rechargeables ensure that they are NimH and change the setting to reflect same. That should solve the problem.

I have had the same problem with my Polaroid camera also. I had it for just a few months and sent it it in while it was still under warranty. They then sent it back to me TWO months later telling me they could do nothing about it. They didn't fix it, send me a new one or anything. I see that several people have posted on the same problem and haven't got any resolutions. This is ridiculous!

Olympus FE-270 Hello, my daughter dropped her Olympus FE-270 and it won't work properly ow. It seems to take photos indoors but if you take an outdoor photo the screen turns white like it's over exposed and now when you turn the power button on the lens moves in and out but then it turns itself off.

No matter what I do, my camera keeps giving me a "Battery Depleted" message whenever I try to turn it on. It's a Pentax Optio E40, and I've only had it a couple of weeks. It was working fine, but then one day when I tried to turn it on, I got this error. I replaced the batteries, but the error still came. I've checked the orientation of the batteries, tried re-inserting them, etc, but nothing seems to work. Please help! Thank you!

I had the same problem and checked the manual. If you haven't used the camera in a while and there were either no batteries or dead batteries in it, put in new batteries, keep it off, and WAIT a few minutes. Then try to turn it on. This helped with P ...

Get your Mako Youth Bat today, right here at CheapBats.com! No Hassle Returns, Batisfaction Guaranteed!
Pros: I like the balance, feel and pop of the new mako vs last year. There isn't any sting in my hands. My mako has huge pop and it got better already as I break it in. Thanks CheapBats for getting it to me in 1 day!
Pros: classic Mako, very balanced and has great pop. my youngest son has great bat speed with this bat and he said he likes the grip a lot more than last year's orange mako. i can't wait for him to use it in his little league season. when it really counts.
Pros: So happy with the service. Ordered this bat on Monday and received it Wednesday!!! Cannot wait to give this to my son on Christmas morning.
Pros: Bought this for my son for a tournament last weekend. Everyone uses big barrels but he's not big enough. He played just as good as the kids with the big barrel. He even hit one to the fence one game. He say it does not sting and feels good in his hands. I like the colors too.
What are the differences between this and the 2015 model?
In addition to the new green paint scheme for 2016, the 2016 Easton Mako Youth Baseball Bat -11oz YB16MK11 comes with an updated HyperSkin 1.2MM grip, which will be similar to a Lizard Skin grip. Other than that, they are theoretically the same exact bat.

Mr. Arun a 35 year old, professional desperately wanted to restore his frontal hairline back. In a very young age, he had lost majority of his hair from frontal and crown area of his scalp. Like many of the people, his unusual hair loss was a cause of social embarrassment to him.
In his initial phase, he was his own doctor! He tried several shampoos, supplements and alternative treatment options of camouflage, which ultimately made him more depressed with the increase in hair loss; this forced him to come to us and opt for the hair restoration with PRP.
Fig. 1: – A baseline photograph of first hair check to establish a basic measurements. The hair check analysis is performed precisely on three locations. The baseline measurements observed were Front/5 cm, Top/12 cm and Back/70 cm.
Fig. 2: – A venous blood of approximately 30-40 ml was collected, spun and processed for extraction of his own platelet rich plasma. The PRP was injected in the areas that needed improvement.
Fig. 3: – Another hair check was performed after 30 days. The patient observed only mild swelling, may be because of being stuck with the needle. The patient noted comparatively less hair fall with the thicker feeling of his hair texture.
Fig. 4: – With the initial hopeful sign, the patient turned up again after 45 days. This time, his numbers for the hair check were found to be consistent with the assessments, his front and top patches had grown, covering the scalp fully.

‘What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works?’ These are the words of St James in the second reading today, and in the gospel Jesus speaks quite sternly to Peter: ‘The way you think is not God’s way but man’s…’ This is a reminder for us all to check what path we are walking. Jesus’ path was radically different to what people of his time expected of a Messiah. It was a path that would lead to much sacrifice. Being a Christian today means being counter-cultural and making sacrifices for a greater good.
As we walk together through this Season of Creation can we as parish lead by example and show our commitment to caring for the earth? The future of our environment depends on the action we take now as a society. We can be proud that in July Ireland became the first country in the world to divest from fossil fuels. This is a good news story. As parishes can we join with the eco-groups in our community to rejoice in the good gift of creation, to share eco-stories and hear other good news of what is already happening. Perhaps you can explore becoming an ‘eco-parish’? (http://ecocongregationireland.com) This is an issue that the Church can link with the wider community and offer a space to dialogue and pray. The gospel today urges us to walk God’s ways not man’s.

On Thursday, Jan. 25, Compressed Air Best Practices (CABP) hosted the first installment of their 2018 Expert Webinar Series. Industry experts including Atlas Copco’s Steven Bruno and Compression Engineering Corporation’s Tim Dugan shared valuable tips on how to size variable speed drive (VSD) air compressors.
Bruno discussed using VSDs in conjunction with multiple fixed speed compressors and the importance of determining a flow curve for sizing compressors. For new installations, understanding the customer’s end uses will help in calculating the flow requirement. Simply guessing could result in incorrect sizing, poor compressor performance and equipment malfunction.
Most VSD compressors run at a sweet spot between 50 and 90 percent. This efficient range keeps compressors from running too slowly, which can cause the motor to overheat from lack of airflow, or too quickly, which results in additional VSD reliability issues.
Keynote speaker Tim Dugan, president and principal engineer of Compression Engineering Corporation, explained how to size a VSD compressor for smaller systems using a single VSD compressor, data logging of flow, how to analyze this data and how to match the compressor with its data for sizing.

Jonathan Tells Buhari To Implement Recommendations Of 2014 National Conference
July 11, 2019 Onif Updates LATEST NEWS 0
Former President Goodluck Jonathan has asked President Muhammadu Buhari to implement the recommendations of the 2014 national conference.
Speaking on Thursday at the book presentation of Senator Femi Okurounmu he chaired at the University of Lagos, the former President believes that the nation’s major challenges can be addressed effectively if the report of the conference is executed.
Jonathan said his administration would have implemented the report of the confab but due to political and timing issues it was impossible for him
He also warned that for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to be credible in conducting elections, top officials of the agency must not be appointed by politicians.
Jonathan, who said that the full implementation of the report would require an amendment of parts of the 1999 Constitution, however, warned that it was not a thing to be rushed.
He also said democracy was key to achieving the dreams of the people, noting that the electoral process should be credible.

VIDEO has emerged showing protesters holding up an ambulance on its way to hospital with a patient.
The ambulance was caught up in the chaos in Birmingham where Black Lives Matter protesters blocked traffic on the A45 Coventry Road.
Footage showed the vehicle – with its sirens wailing – trying to muddle its way through gridlocked traffic leading up to the demonstrators’ blockade.
Cars can be seen trying to move out of the way but progress appears slow as they don’t have much room to manoeuvre.
After a few minutes the ambulance is able to make it as far as the picket line.
Thankfully, the protesters step aside and allow the vehicle through with a little help from the police.
The blockade then closes back up behind it and the protesters continue their demonstration.
Witnesses who saw the incident branded the protesters an “utter disgrace”.
And many took to social media to voice their disapproval.
Twitter user TWSSYesterday wrote: “Black lives matter, but so may the ambulance having to re route because of your protests.
Black Lives Matter activists today held a ‘nationwide shutdown’ targeting airports, motorways and tram lines.
Protesters today blocked off the M4 motorway leading to Heathrow and the A45 Coventry Road near Birmingham Airport, causing misery for thousands of holidaymakers.
And demonstrators in Nottingham chained themselves together and lay across tram tracks in the city centre.
Members of the group’s UK branch are believed to be angry about the death of Mark Duggan exactly five years ago.
Protesters also referenced the death of deportee Jimmy Mubenga at Heathrow in 2010 and the plight of refugees in the Mediterranean.

The list of Windows Vista versions was news to me as much as it was news to you. It’s not like everybody tells me what’s going on at this company, or that I’d have the time to keep up on it if they did! (There’s so much going on here, I can’t even keep track of what my colleagues on the shell team are doing, and they work on my hallway! When I want Windows news, I turn to Paul Thurrott just like everybody else.) At least it appears that the people who want the all-encompassing superset version of Windows Vista Workstation will have their wish with the “Ultimate” plan.


What Can a Mobile Surveillance System Do For Your Construction Site?
In order to increase security at a construction site, there are several factors to consider. Will you hire a security guard or use a mobile surveillance solution? How long will the project take? Where is the site located? What kind of equipment and materials will be stored on the property? It's important to select a service that specializes in construction site security and truly understands your needs.
How Effective is a Mobile Surveillance System?
Construction site security specialists strategically install outdoor surveillance cameras throughout the project site. This allows trained construction site surveillance operators to monitor multiple areas of a property simultaneously. In comparison, a security guard can only be in one place at a time and can only see what is directly in front of them. Weather and lighting conditions can further limit what a security guard can see.
Construction site security operators can watch your project remotely. With the help of weatherproof PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) security cameras, operators can follow and zoom in on suspicious activity, often capturing license plate numbers and specific details about the suspect.
Can Mobile Surveillance Deter Criminals?
Our remote video monitoring solution utilizes on-site HD security cameras, speakers, video analytics, and human intelligence to deter criminal activity like vandalism and theft. If security operators see anything suspicious, they can activate the on-site speaker warning letting the criminals know they are being watched. If the suspects remain on the construction site, a trained operator can call the local police.
Can Mobile Surveillance Impact Response Time?
Live security video serves as evidence that there is a crime in progress. This verifies the incident and gives it a higher priority, which leads to quicker police response time. Faster police response time increases the likelihood of an arrest while the suspect is still on the property.
When other criminals know that a construction site takes security seriously, they may intentionally avoid that property.
What is the Price of a Mobile Surveillance Solution?
Stealth combines the latest surveillance technology with experienced video monitoring operators who are trained to proactively identify suspicious activity and help prevent live crimes in progress.

I see the future. It is there, poised over the street, hardly more dim than the present.... This is time, time laid bare, coming slowly into existence, keeping us waiting, and when it does come making us sick because we realize it's been there for a long time.


A delicate, emotive song that fuses the intimacy and fragility often evoked by both composers.
Thanks for the information, Banyan.
I just checked out http://www.nicolahitchcock.com and enjoyed 'Quarterbright' posted there.
Be interested to hear what people think of this song?
My first impression was that it reminded me of The Blue Nile - a similar kind of wistful, melancholic feel. At first I thought it would have better suited a vocalist like Paul Buchanan too, but the vocal has grown on me.
What I really love is the lightly-trembling, monophonic, woody, Ondes-Martenot-like sound that runs through the track - you can really here it from 2:20 to 2:35 or 0:48 to 1:15. Beautiful. Really makes it for me.
It is a really beautiful song. The arrangement is extremely accurate and delicate, and Nicola Hitchcock's work on the vocals is lovely, and a pleasant surprise.

About Tangible Book Value

Tangible book value (TBV) is calculated by subtracting intangible assets from the company's book value. TBV is frequently used to illustrate "how much of a company is left after a bankruptcy filing?"

For instance, if a company filed bankruptcy with five million in current assets, three million in gross property, plant, and equipment, and four million in goodwill, we would expect the company to be able to sell the current assets and gross property. It would be unable / difficult to sell goodwill, because it's not a tangible asset. The TBV in this example would be eight (5+3) million.


Collected here are my posts about the changing nature of economics. Olivier Blanchard says "there is room for art as well as science". In these posts, I develop the concept of economics as art: vague, conceptual, imaginative, complex, and subjective. In other words - human.
I should make it clear that I am mainly talking about macroeconomics, although microeconomics is also changing for other reasons.
Thanks for the review. I read them all, and I have tried to read all your posts since I first stumbled onto your blog. You obviously expend a lot of energy analyzing our current economic system. And according to one of your blog posts you get little financial return for that expenditure. As we say down here in Texas, "that just ain't right."
Am I right in thinking that your view on our current economic system is that it is the best we can have? Or is your view that it needs an overhaul? I think it is the latter. I think that the times it seems to work are mere accidents, but those accidents keep it alive.
As I once said to you, I think you are well-qualified to design a new system of economics--one that most ordinary citizens will be able to understand, and one that will enable them to have equal access to resources and opportunities that will enable them to go as far, economically, as their efforts and talents can take them. Our current economic system can never do that.
If you don't want to redesign our failed system, that please point to a redesign that you think will work. Or at least ideas that will make our current system better.
Showing what is wrong with the current system is a losing proposition. Those with the power to fix the problems you point out do not want change, and you know it.
"heterodox or orthodox one of these days you will both have to look at data"
"debate missed need both to have harsh confrontation with data."
@ProfSteveKeen @politybooks @Noahpinion @Frances_Coppola @JoMicheII @ari1601 debate missed need both to have harsh confrontation with data.
I can't wait to hear what you think about "the Euro" by Joseph Stiglitz.
It would all be fine, if everyone was conscious that it's an art. Problem is, that this kind of art can cause and has caused a lot of harm, because it's used to justify policy decisions in the real world. I would have no problem with economists having an elitist view of themselves as artists, but not viewing them as elitist experts of how to organize our societies.

Santiago’s Parque O’Higgins may have been shattering at the sight of Chilean sunshine and 22 Formula E cars on the attack, but that didn’t stop the circuit from being a fine foundation for one of the series’ newcomers to spring into contention.
Pascal Wehrlein, recovering from an uncertain last eighteen months under Mercedes’ rule, has only recently found refuge under the welcoming arms of Alejandro Agag’s pioneering electric series; but it was in the streets of Santiago where the young gun finally rediscovered the best of himself.
His Formula E tale begins, where his darkest moments as a racing driver took hold. Deemed both surplus to requirements at Sauber, and an unattractive prospect to the rest of the Formula 1 field in December 2017, Pascal’s only place to go was back to the scene of his last champagne swig, DTM.
This was by no means a just exile. Pascal may have never stepped foot atop an F1 podium, nor may he ever have made the pundits and fans spiral into lyrical waxing, but this was more down to his machinery than himself. 2016’s Austrian GP was an incredible achievement, dragging his Manor kicking and screaming into a tenth place which nearly secured the team’s very survival, while next year’s Spanish GP was his open-wheel career’s finest hour.
But he’d already been chewed, and chewed some more, until the series deemed his flavour null. Esteban Ocon had overtaken him in the Mercedes young driver hierarchy, fairly or not, and there was no longer a room at the inn. But fast forward little over a year, and Pascal’s heroics that day in Austria, which bursted him onto the world scene, were given an emotional recreation in the South American heat.
Pascal well and truly nailed his weekend, from start to finish. His nerves would understandably have been jangling throughout qualifying; a mixture of a race less to prepare for the rigours of Formula E racing than his rivals (thank Mercedes for that), a bitterly unfortunate debut in Marrakech, and disruptions in the earlier practice sessions could well have made for a quiet afternoon.
He’d have none of it. In the group sessions, the German made an impression both seismic in its importance, and graceful in its skill. He admittedly had the wind of Group 4 behind his back, but even so his electrifying first sector, over 3 tenths quicker than any time that had gone before, was masterful.
He drove the wheels off of the M5Electro, in itself a dark horse or, at best, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, certainly not an established frontrunner though. The table would be topped by his name, with two tenths separating him and Group 2’s Sebastien Buemi in second. That in itself is a feat, but it was not to be his peak. Superpole’s shootout was all about the crushing dominance of Lucas di Grassi, but 6 tenths adrift Pascal still worked his way into third with a sense of ease non-befitting of his experience level.
And then Lucas was, in bizarre fashion to say the least, penalised with an exclusion. Pascal found himself on the front row, and if he were to bend his neck over to the left, he’d be seeing the Swiss flag and Red Bull sponsorship of Buemi’s helmet. Sharing the utmost row with a series titan is a tough gig.
Not that Pascal would accept it to be. His form over the weekend culminated into a drive both savvy and ballsy, sage and brave. Spending the first part of the E-Prix an ever-present behind Buemi’s diffuser, he was keeping the 2015/16 victor honest every step of the way while managing his battery levels. His ability to manage his tyres efficiently in F1 (remember, that’s what his 2017 Spanish GP was built on) transitioned to his energy saving.
Sam Bird may have been able to work his way past in the race’s middle phase, but that owes more to the experience and competence of Sam than it does the flaws and rough edges of Pascal. One moment that signified the mental capacity of him was this; on the same corner Bird completed his overtake, and both were off-line, Pascal beautifully executed his first Attack Mode so that he’d lose as little time as possible.
That canny nature and wit allowed him to keep it on the road, and out of the back of his rivals, when so many others were falling by the wayside. His fellow ex-F1 debutants, Felipe Massa and Stoffel Vandoorne, ended up in the barriers either through the bad hand of racecraft or through botched car control. Buemi, up ahead, is one of the most experienced on the grid, and yet he too found himself magnetically drawn to the barriers.
And yet Pascal was keeping a level head. He wasn’t just settling for second, though; for as long as he possibly could, he was hounding the rear end of Sam and placing the Brit over a furnace of pressure. It was not to be, and on the last lap Pascal rapidly dropped away from the victor, but it was proof this man can do exciting, edge-of-your-seat combat, but with one eye on his and the team’s best interests.
Second was a fitting reward for his efforts in Santiago, and had he overthrown Bird in the dying stages, it would have bordered on the finest performances Formula E has seen in its history, but his pure speed, top-notch racecraft and head beyond his years were all on show in this E-Prix. This weekend was also proof that his teammate, Jerome d’Ambrosio, might not have it all his own way after all.
I feel that we’ll see the best of Pascal come to the fore in Formula E. His smooth, calm nature is befitting of the series’ intricacies. F1 may not have wanted him, Mercedes may have became the albatross around his neck, but finally Pascal can spread his wings and fly under the tutelage of Mahindra Racing and Formula E.


I'm a bit of a foodie, as is my hubby to be so when we were looking at wedding venues, the choice and quality of the food was very important to me.
We ended up deciding to give our guests a choice of three starters, three mains and two puds - my mouth is actually salivating at the thought of the yummy food.
The only problem is that guests made their decision on what to eat several months ago in some cases so we needed to give them a quick reminder.
So I'm making personal menus for everybody which will also double as their name card.
This is a mock up using an old picture of me punched out with the Stampin Up Decorative label punch and they layered up on some Night of Navy card stock which is the base colour too and the layered on metalic silver card stock.

There are a lot of big animals in Alaska. Bears and moose are everywhere, and even dinosaurs once roamed the icy landscape. But a video posted to Facebook last week and filmed by a Bureau of Land Management employee had the internet convinced there was another big beast in the state, lurking in the Chena River in Anchorage.
In the video, a 12 to 15 foot long, icy thing looks like it’s slowly swimming upstream in the Chena River. Craig McCaa, who captured the video, added a frame to make the video look like it was recorded on a camcorder rather than his cell phone, sped it up just a bit, and added some sound effects. But otherwise, McCaa says, the video is untouched.
The frigid Alaskan river probably had the right conditions for frazil ice to form on a rope attached to the bridge that McCaa filmed from. Frazil ice is slushy ice that forms in flowing water that’s moving too fast to freeze solid. The icy rope floated to the surface and is moving with the flow of the river.
McCaa’s camera work creates the illusion that it’s swimming upstream. By zooming in, he cuts out any reference points that would give away that the “monster” isn’t actually moving upstream at all.
It may look like you’re seeing a cousin of the Loch Ness Monster, but like other mystery creature sightings, this one has a perfectly plausible explanation.


5 years ago today, we lost the greatest entertainer to ever grace a stage. Michael Jackson revolutionized music, performance, and fashion in so many ways. Although we no longer have him here with us, we have the music and looks to last us a lifetime. The recent release of Xscape, an album with original demos and remastered versions of unreleased tracks, has given us the revival of the King of Pop we needed.
How "bad" are you when you can be gone for 5 years, but still have your music placed in Jeep commercials?!
Here are some of our favorite songs and picture from his lifetime of hits.

The latest ANZ-Roy Morgan consumer confidence index jumped 2.0% to 113.6, taking the index back above its long-run average of 112.7.

All five survey categories registered an improvement with gauges on the economic outlook putting in a particularly strong performance.

Sentiment towards the economy in the year ahead surged by 4.6% while that looking five years into the future rose by a smaller 1.6%.

Compared to a year earlier sentiment towards current personal finances increased by 1.2% while expectations for the year ahead ticked up by 0.2%.

The surveys subindex on whether now was a good time to buy a major household item increased by 2.9%, following a 2.8% increase in the previous corresponding week.

To Warren Hogan, chief economist at the ANZ, the rebound in sentiment suggests that domestic economic strength is overpowering concerns emanating from offshore for the moment.

Consumer confidence improved in February after a weak start to the year. Domestic economic fundamentals appear to be overpowering concerns about the international situation in consumers’ assessment of the economic and financial environment. The heightened debate over tax policies appears to have had little detrimental effect on sentiment last week, although we doubt this reading would have captured the impact of the major parties’ announcements on negative gearing.

The ANZ-Roy Morgan index is now back above its long run average, having risen by just over 2% in the last two weeks. This week, all five sub components of confidence rose, seemingly in reflection of an underlying sturdiness in consumers’ attitudes. This is consistent with recent strong employment outcomes as well as good outcomes in residential property last week. The turnaround in sentiment has occurred despite ongoing weakness in equity markets and concerns about the health of the world economy across most media channels.

While sentiment has now increased over the past two weeks, the timing of the survey, along with recent evidence that stock market movements are having a larger-than-normal influence on overall confidence levels, may have contributed to improvement.

The survey is conducted each weekend meaning movements in the stock market – both domestically and internationally – are fresh in the minds of investors.

Stocks in Europe and the US surged on Friday evening, something that based on recent evidence likely played a role in boosting sentiment levels over the survey period.


Black Student Assembly organizes CreEx
By MAX KAPUR
November 30, 2016 in Lifestyle
Weaving a tight-knit community of black artists is one of the primary goals of the Artist Showcase, a networking opportunity and arts celebration on 7 p.m. Friday at KAOS Network. The Artist Showcase is a part of the Black Student Assembly’s CreEx (short for “creative experience”) initiative and showcases a diverse cast of artists of color who work in different mediums and styles.
“A frustration within the community is that there aren’t a lot of opportunities for them to express themselves freely, without having to compromise themselves or their art,” said Jazmin Hall, co-director of logistics for the BSA’s upcoming showcase. “The CreEx Artist Showcase is an opportunity for BSA’s constituents to ‘be black and showcase our culture.’”

Making silenced voices heard · A piece by Tola Oseni graces the wall of the event’s gallery. This gallery is part of the Black Student Assembly’s “creative experience” initiative, the Artist Showcase.
The artists involved were selected through a competitive process spearheaded by Celeste Butler, the event’s A&R specialist. An online open application period preceded two days of live auditions. Butler and Hall’s team worked to include a variety of compelling, original pieces and represent artists in different disciplines. For example, Hall cites senior Omete “M.C.” Anassi, neuroscience and theater double-major, as an especially dynamic performer. He will perform a spoken-word piece at Friday’s showcase, and Hall said that his ambitious, heartfelt and powerful poems often run over seven minutes.
“The people who are producing this show are artists themselves. They understand the needs and the goals and the desires that they have. We want to make sure that the events that we provide are actually beneficial,” Hall said.
While vocal artists and performers occupy the stage, attendees can check out the paintings and visual art that adorn the walls.
“This should be a lot to look at,” Hall said.
The event is hosted at KAOS Network’s Leimert Park venue. KAOS also runs a nearby store that sells African Products. Hall said that her team chose the off-campus location on purpose.
“We wanted to bridge the gap between USC and UCLA,” Hall said. “We wanted to take our students off campus and immerse them in our culture.”
The Artist Showcase is part of a series of CreEx events that will culminate in Gearfest, BSA’s upcoming annual arts festival in February. The CreEx team will unveil the Gearfest promotional video on Friday.
Hall hopes that the Artist Showcase will be of mutual benefit to the artists involved, BSA and the USC community.
“We want to make sure every event is also a networking opportunity. Hopefully, on Friday night they meet someone they can collaborate with,” she said. “Some of our students are working on EPs.”
If the event is successful, it will become an annual tradition. Hall said that she hopes to involve more students from the fine arts next year.
“We all get to meet somewhere in Los Angeles and have a showcase,” Hall said. “It could go on to be something really epic.”
The Artist Showcase is free for USC students and $5 for others. Further information can be found on BSA’s Facebook page.
