Array Yes, my ‘trail run’ was on a big black machine in the basement of the UN operations guest house in the Shar-e-naw district of Kabul, but frankly it is a miracle I’m running at all, here in this bastion of democracy. I am here working with the Independent Electoral Commission, helping them to re-write the national electoral law. It is my third trip here – I enjoyed the Afghan winter in 2005 and the Fall in 2004. Riding on the backs of anti paramilitary and drug lord sentiments last year she was elected to the new Afghan National Assembly from her home province of Farah, which is deep in Taliban land. In April she tried to speak in parliament and was shouted down, with threats of rape and murder made against her by her parliamentary colleagues. Behind barbed wire and multiple bodyguards she said she is a marked woman – there is no reason to disbelieve her. Her passion and quiet bravery makes her seem so much larger than her little body. She makes an immediate impression…in a land where almost everyone plays nice with the warlords she offers no accommodation – women must be respected, the law of the gun must be ended, and the ugly mafiosi of drug lords and militia commanders (many of who remain at the highest level of government) must be kicked out permanently– no ifs, no buts, no ‘but the reality is you must accept the men of the past otherwise they will bring down the state.’ My questions are translated into Dari for her, but she answers in English. The Panjshir valley runs along a stretch of imposing mountains which was Massoud’s fortress in the war against the Soviets in the 1980s and against the Taliban in the 1990s. The journey here is relatively safe because the Panshjiries hate anyone who is not from the valley.

Manu pitched in with 20 pts., & 3 assts on 7/9 shooting (3/4 from 3pt.) in only 17 minutes. Former Texas Longhorn Gabe Muoneke had another solid game for Nigeria with 10 pts & once again drew fouls. Possible lottery prospect Rudy Fernandez continued his strong tourney with 16 pts (3/3 on 3pts.) & 3 steals. Current Winthrop University center Craig Bradshaw had 12 & 10, and former U of Wisconsin guard Kirk Penney chipped in 13 pts. Andrew Bogut again did not get many shots up (4/7 from the floor for 12 pts) & he had 6 TOs. Sam Mackinnon had another good all-around game with 7 pts., 7 rebs., & 5 assts. Australia’s still in good shape for a playoff berth because they should beat Qatar.- Turkey 76, Qatar 69: A little tighter game than Turkey would have liked, but they got to rest Kutluay & Erdogen, who both sat out the game, in preparation for a much anticipated battle for 1-seed vs. GROUP D:-China 100, Senegal 83: China won their 1st game of the tourney fairly easy with Yao leading the way with 26 & 9.

-ne Here’s the kind of weekend I had….there’s a black widow spider in my freezer, slowly freezing to death in a tupperware container–and that’s not what I’m going to write about. Just thought it worth mentioning, in case I stop updating this, you can safely assume that it’s because the ferocious little beast somehow busts through the tupperware, opens the freezer door, and bites me without me realizing it in time to completely panic. I thought I might be trying to hard, trying to force her into liking the things I liked, so I regrouped and tried again, made her something I thought she would like. I loved that she didn’t think it just magically appeared on her plate. Maybe I just appreciate her enough this time that I don’t even want to risk alienating her. Whatever the case, I took her out, with my friends, and didn’t leave her on an island. Let me just say this–It wasn’t just that I didn’t think there were girls out there who thought this way, it’s that I had totally given up hope and accepted it as fact–girls want all your time, all your attention, and all the control. When she says she can knit while I watch the end of the Sox game, she’ s not trying to make me feel guilty, she’s trying to let me breathe, to let me just be me.

MOSCOW — Authorities said today that 108 people have been killed in Russia’s North Caucasus region as Islamic militants have staged coordinated attacks on police and government buildings in a new wave of violence spilling over from war-torn Chechnya. At least 24 law enforcers, 12 civilians and 65 guerrillas have died in the two days of fighting in Nalchik, capital of the predominantly Muslim republic of Kabardino-Balkaria, authorities said. Seven more guerrillas were reported killed in an outlying district and 17 were captured. ** Here’s hoping the Russian security forces have a goodly supply of electrodes and testicles, not that I would ever suggest that these peacefull islamics should be tortured to find the rest of their friends who got away. Again I am glad to see Putin taking a tough line with these animals and not giving in an jot to their sick demands. Dutch authorities today detained six men and a woman in a series of anti-terror operations across three cities, officials said. Police declined to confirm reports in the Dutch media of gunfire being heard during one of the operations in the capital, The Hague. Security has been stepped up around government offices in the capital. The suspects, ranging from 18 to 30 years old, were detained in The Hague, Amsterdam and Almere. Officials said they would be brought before an investigating judge on Monday. Today’s security operation comes a day after media reports of renewed threats against MPs Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Geert Wilders, who are both outspoken critics of radical Islam. The two politicians had to go into hiding for several months after Van Gogh’s murder ** Well done the Dutch, glad to see that some Europeans are getting touch on terror, rather than making tough speeches on it like our gutless shower of a government. ** Ok got to report on this looney, this guy is mad and actually running a country which makes me feel rather sorry for the citizens of his nation.

-ne Not long after the Internet begins to go mainstream, the writers of the Cluetrain Manifesto post their 95 Theses in 1999 about how information and communication accessible to anyone with an internet connection will change the future of how people and companies interact. Participation in a networked market changes people fundamentally.This is something I’ve learned particularly from this class - once you start particpating in discussions, reading blogs and listening to podcasts, it’s hard to stop! As with networked markets, people are also talking to each other directly inside the company—and not just about rules and regulations, boardroom directives, bottom lines.Again, what a great resource employees can be- they are knowledgeable about their company and industry, and those who can write will come off more humane and real should they become bloggers or podcasters. We will not settle for the 4-color brochure, for web sites chock-a-block with eye candy but lacking any substance.If I’m going to read a company blog, it should be a bit more substantial than posts of press releases.

Array so for some odd reason, I really started missing some people over this past week. I started looking at old photos and cards and really sitting back and feeling so lucky to have people to miss. Scary, I know, but I always felt that I wasn’t able to concentrate any time or energy to him during those 7 years I was with Eric. All of the crazy times, the night time smokes, the QAF meetings, the discovering of my special stash of movies when I was away dealing with a situation… I think she and I have had about every relationship two people could have together without having sex. I am estatic that he is actually taking the time out of his busy life to perform in a couple! He is one of the most talented people I know, and he is always pushing himself to be the best he can be. (I know I am leaving out a LOT of people… we sure had an amazing time! I know we are going to be spending A LOT more time coming up this year at SEAHO, ACPA, and other functions (hint hint hint… The last time I saw her, she and I were hold each other for about 3 minutes outside of my old home both crying like someone ripped out our hearts (it felt like an eternity and a split second at the same time). I think that may have been one of the first times the students at ASU ever saw her like that… that one moment of pure love between two people just felt so powerful! and even though we don’t see each other all the time… I have had an amazing week of reflection coupled by a wonderful group of people with whom I am lucky to have daily interactions (i.e.

Maybe it will all work out in the end is supposed to read the end will work it all out? Maybe it will all work out in the end means it’ll be worked on until one of them dies? That’ll end ur pretty little picnic pretty damn fast. The key term is ‘my thoughts.’ So this is this and that is that, and maybe you should rethink where ur lines are and where ur values are, and that’s for everyone.

So playing in the Main Event was not an option for me right from the beginning, much to my disappointment.Although I don’t recall seeing much satelliteage into the non-Main Event WSOP tournaments in 2005, in March of this year, I begin to see these ads for Bracelet Races during my visits to fulltilt, which were becoming more frequent at that time as ftp was working its way on to my nightly radar. Not only was I playing for a spot in the premiere poker tournament a guy in my situation could play in, but the timing of the events (weekdays are at 9pm and some nights at midnight as well, ET) was perfect given my own personal schedule.Long story short, ftp has been running nightly Bracelet Races, at least 9 tourneys per week as I understand it, which guarantee at least two seats per event in the 500 buyin WSOP event of the winner’s choosing, plus 00 cash money as part of the 2k total prize package. It was by far my best Bracelet Race performance yet, and after getting so close I was actually really looking forward to spending the rest of this week playing in as many more of these things as I could.I didn’t have to wait long, as I returned from the gym on Wednesday night at about 9:01pm ET according to the clock in my poker roombedroom, but thankfully the ftp servers run a bit slow and I literally logged in and registered for the 5 Bracelet Race with about 15 seconds to spare. Unfortunately I ended up going out in 6th place, one spot from the money, so more bubblage for me, but I got rediculously beat on my last two hands consecutively, including me running my KQ on a King-high flop into a slow-played AK to eliminate me on the bubble, so I feel very pleased with another final table performance out of 31 players who started the tournament:And, congrats to Smokkee, who won another of these blogger events in a big way, amassing a huge chip lead after the final five battled it out long and hard over about 45 minutes of trading chips back and forth amongst the players:OK. It’s been several days in a row now of me getting almost every pot that I win solely by relying on my reads, making well-timed steals, and just generally playing the other players rather than playing the cards in my hand. That’s the way I managed to stick around the middle of the pack, preserving my tournament existence, once half the field of 70 original players had been eliminated, even managing to increase my position to the top third of the field as we crossed the 30 players left mark.I also kept my cool, even in the face of the inevitable bullshit beats that have plagued me so badly over the past few days. In fact, a few hands later when there were just 20 players remaining, I was in 7th place out of 20 left, leaving me right on the last spot to win a seat, if the tournament were to end right then.My best bluff of the tournament occurred here, where I sensed my opponent’s fear on the turn card, and my spidey senses were going crazy, keenly suggesting to me that my opponent not only could not beat a flush, but really thought I had made my own flush on the turn card. So, when he bet about half the pot on the river card, I decided to once again following my instincts and show him the exact behavior I could just tell he was fearful of from the turn card:This was a big bluff win for me and got me up into 4th place out of 16 remaining players:This was the first time I had been solidly within the top 7 (places that win a wsop seat) in the entire tournament, which by this time had run two full hours, and for the first time I began to entertain the very real possibility that I could be going to the world series of poker. But somehow I again managed to remain calm (relatively), until flopped trips helped me to get back the stack I wanted to be able to remain in the hunt.11th place eventually went out on this bloggericious hand:and with ten players remaining, the true final table bubble, I was able to really crack out my aggression stick, which generated folds from everyone else at the table almost immediately as no one was willing to take a chance and miss out on the final table and the good chance at the wsop seats. This is a great time to be aggressive in nlh MTTs — almost any pro will tell you that as well — and it really worked for me here, resulting in a high of 24000 chips for me, easily in the lead among the 10 remaining players:And finally, after about 45 solid minutes of bubble time, 10th place moved in with A7o and got called by AQ:and I had made it back to the final table, my second Bracelet Race final table in the past two days, but this time I was in 3rd place out of the 9 players remaining, and this time I only had to outlast two more players to win my seat:Two more players.

Array-ne FIRST WEEK OF CLASSThe first two weeks of class are devoted entirely to my Meat, Fish & Poultry Principles class.So far, I have filleted a salmon (yum), taken apart an entire chicken, started corned beef, chorizo sausage, english bacon and gravlox.We also watched a video on how the Tyson company processes chicken. DO NOT EAT CHICKEN NUGGETS. They are formed using a centerfuge and brine bath, then formed into a layer of chicken parts and cooked together. All the parts that didn’t get used for regular chicken parts (as well as sub-standard chickens), bones, gristle and all are sent to this centerfuge where the bones drop out of the middle. What can I say, you can take the girl out of Seattle, but you can’t . . . I’ll make all the cookies, cakes and desserts you want . . I really like Dell, especially their servers (but with Compaq server sw) but I’m not sure I’d ever buy a computer from them due to their poor choice in commercials.

The Second Sunday After the Epiphany (B)Union Grove United Methodist ChurchHillsborough, North Carolina3:1Now the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord under Eli. The word of the Lord was rare in those days; visions were not widespread. 2At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, was lying down in his room; 3the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was. 4Then the Lord called, “Samuel! Samuel!” and he said, “Here I am!” 5and ran to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call; lie down again.” So he went and lay down. 6The Lord called again, “Samuel!” Samuel got up and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” But he said, “I did not call, my son; lie down again.” 7Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. 8The Lord called Samuel again, a third time. And he got up and went to Eli, and said, “Here I am, for you called me.” Then Eli perceived that the Lord was calling the boy. 9Therefore Eli said to Samuel, “Go, lie down; and if he calls you, you shall say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place. 10Now the Lord came and stood there, calling as before, “Samuel! Samuel!” And Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.” 11Then the Lord said to Samuel, See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make both ears of anyone who hears of it tingle. 12On that day I will fulfill against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end. 13For I have told him that I am about to punish his house forever, for the iniquity that he knew, because his sons were blaspheming God, and he did not restrain them. 14Therefore I swear to the house of Eli that the iniquity of Eli

At Arlington High School, on the near-east side of Indianapolis, the Vipers took the field against the Birmingham Steel Magnolias. My friend Greg and I had decided sometime in November that we would be at this game come hell or high water. Or, as wed come to find out, maybe it was the fact that the game wed all come to watch more closely resembled some kind of slow-motion roller derby that only vaguely mirrored the sport of football. Well never know.We decided to sit on the Steel Magnolias side of the field, partly because the sun wouldnt be in our eyes, and partly because there was a plethora of open seats … (I promised myself I would avoid these digressions, but can you imagine being a second-stringer on a football team consisting of 12 players? Again, I apologize.) Greg wanted to perform an in-game interview with what had to be the most optomistic person in the entire sporting world. And trust me, Greg would have asked demoralizing questions: What’s it feel like to know that basic mathmatical principles dictate that you had a 93% chance of starting and yet, here you are? To set the scene, it was Greg, Ron (the Magnolias’ coach), and me, in that order. Apparently, 32 Z Red is a play Ron drew up that encorporates a screen pass, a hook-and-ladder, two fake fumbles and three over-the-shoulder laterals. 32 Z Red brought with it a 38-yard gain, about 16 illegal blocks and a new-found admiration for Ron and his unorthodox coaching style.On to the Vipers’ side.As we neared the Viper fan section, it became obvious that this is where the Indiana Fever groupies hibernate. Greg and I agreed to simply snap a few pictures and get the hell out of their twisted world. had it of been, the Birmingham gunners wouldn’t have loped down the field as they did, totally oblivious to the fact that the ball was about 10 yards behind them.That proved to be the breaking point for Greg and myself. And I am sorry that you too were not able to experience what Greg and I (and 27 hostile lesbians) did on Saturday.It was Viper football at its best.Or so I’m told.[Roy Hobbson].

Diablo Junction, 16 miles The Wednesday after work rides are getting decidedly less competitive now that the cooler weather and early sunsets are upon us. Tiffany and Cindy rode most of the way together but Cindy beat her in the final sprint by about four bike lengths. After Chainbuster, Adam started to ride a little harder and we lost JB but I stayed in Adam’s draft until the Ranger House.

Despues de la plegaria hubo una demostración de protesta, en la que la gente decía: Salgan de nuestro país antes que los hagamos salir a patadas. Todos nos sentimos felices ese día…sentimos que todavía somos una nación, una mano…en acuerdo sobre la unidad de Irak, y en la necesidad de la partida de los ocupantes. Majid comenzará a trabajar como traductor en organizaciones no-gubernamentales…No estan funcionando ni las escuelas ni las universidades…y los hombres jóvenes tienen mucho tiempo libre en sus manos, y ansiedad y voluntad de participar en algo útil.

How do I signify that I’m Black in a virtual medium with no visual cues, when Blackness has become so commodified that many non-Black people could pass? one of the ways i thought of was to be culturally literate - although the AF list tends to privilege radical black media over other, more popular stuff. the insults and rejoinders are often witty, but some posters who are always online tend to loudtalk or post many times in order to shut dissenters down.

The journey was quite scenic - no longer a suprise- & we even stopped at one point where there was fresh snow - until we all disembarked for a little play time, including this old couple where the 70 odd year old woman was throwing snowballs at her similarly aged husband whilst he was taking photo’s - how cool (I even got a photo too!!!).The highlight of the journey was def the guy who’s job it was to let us know about the areas we were passing. & so on & so on - poor guy.Finally we arrived at our final hotel in NZ & I got very excited when I saw the pool table & at only 30p a game you can’t really go wrong.
