What is the history of the American Revolution? The answer is not simple.
While season 1 looked at how historians work, the mission of season 2, Doing History: To the Revolution, is to ask how different historians interpret the events and people at the center of the American Revolution and to help listeners see the connections—and possible disconnects—between the different approaches.

In December 1773, the Cape Cod Tea Crisis revealed that the people of "radical" Massachusetts were far from united in their support for the American Revolution. An observation that leads us to wonder: How many Americans supported the Patriot cause?
In this episode, we speak with four scholars to explore the complexities of political allegiance during the American Revolution.
Supporting this series helps to meet one of the chief aims of the Lapidus Initiative: to make more transparent the intensive and collaborative processes of developing and producing high-quality scholarship. It also offers us a new and exciting opportunity for public outreach.

It's the home of Super Bowl XLVI and the home of one of the NFL's most storied franchises, the Indianapolis Colts. It's the site of the Big Ten Football Championship each year through 2015. It's where the final buzzer of the NCAA Men's Final Four will sound in 2015 and where Louisville claimed the Midwest Regional title on their way to winning The Big Dance in 2013. For fans of big time fun, there's no bigger excitement than what you'll find in and around Lucas Oil Stadium.
And there's no better way to add a dose of adrenaline to your next Lucas Oil Stadium visit than a journey to explore everything Indianapolis has to offer. The 12th largest city in the U.S. and the Indiana state capitol, Indianapolis ranks in the top 25 most visited cities in the country, thanks in large part to one of the nation's safest, friendliest and most vibrant downtown areas. You can stroll the sidewalks for outstanding shopping, dining and entertainment choices. Or stay above it all by using the skywalk connector that brings together major downtown hotels and other visitor venues.
With more than 200 restaurants and clubs, well-known sports palaces and a 10-block state park that features top museums, green space and a convenient canal walk, Indianapolis boasts what one journalist called "the most walkable downtown in America." Sports fans especially will have a winning time in the Circle City. Come tour the home of the World Champion Indianapolis Colts. With its FieldTurf ranked the NFL's best artificial surface in 2009 & 2010, and named the 2009 Sports Facility of the Year by
Street and Smith's SportsBusiness Journal , Lucas Oil stadium is a must-see. Colts game days in Indianapolis have been named the "Best Overall Stadium Experience in All Sports" for two consecutive years (2011 and 2012) by Stadium Journey, The Magazine. This facility rose to the top of over 1,000 stadiums considered exuding excellence in fans, game day atmosphere, food & beverage and return on investment.
And regardless of what Indianapolis experience you choose, you'll also experience our world-famous Hoosier hospitality. For many of our visitors, that's the most welcome part of all.

Former President Bill Clinton formally nominated President Barack Obama in a lively speech at the Democratic National Convention Wednesday, asserting that Obama "laid the foundation for a new modern successful economy, a shared prosperity" and deserves another four years to finish what he started.
Headlining the convention's second night, Clinton described his one-time rival as "a man who believes with no doubt that we can build a new American dream economy." And he ridiculed Republicans' argument at their convention in Tampa last week that Obama has failed to reverse the economic downturn that he inherited in 2008.
"In Tampa, the Republican argument against the president's re-election was actually pretty simple, pretty snappy. It went something like this: We left him a total mess, he hasn't cleaned it up fast enough, so fire him and put us back in," Clinton said.
U.S. & World
"I like the argument for President Obama's re-election a lot better. Here it is: he inherited a deeply damaged economy, he put a floor under the crash, he began the long hard road to recovery, and laid the foundation for a more modern, more well-balanced economy that will produce millions of good new jobs, vibrant new businesses, and lots of new wealth for innovators."
Clinton, basking in the attention of the national stage, delivered his message in a mix of plain speak, policy talk and personal anecdotes that made the convention crowd go wild. His appearance was scripted to remind people about his presidency, which many Democrats consider the good old days. His arrival on stage was accompanied by his original campaign song, Fleetwood Mac's "Don't Stop."
Clinton even thanked Obama for hiring his wife, Hillary, as secretary of state, to which the convention crowd roared.
President Obama made his first appearance at the convention after the speech, joining Clinton on stage, where the two former rivals shook hands and hugged.
Clinton portrayed the election as a choice between an outdated and unsuccessful Republican philosophy of trickle-down economics and the Democratic approach of mixing personal responsibility with government investment.
At times Clinton smiled genially and soaked in the applause, and when the topic turned more somber, he pointed his fingers and reminded his audience, "folks, this is serious."
"If you want a winner-take-all, you're-on-your-own society, you should support the Republican ticket," Clinton said. "If you want a country of shared opportunities and shared responsibilities, a 'we're-all-in-it-together' society, you should vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden."
Clinton, who left office in 2001 with the economy flourishing and the federal budget balanced, remains one of American politics' most popular figures. His relationship with Obama has been rocky, dating back to Obama's primary battle against Hillary Clinton four years ago.
But on Wednesday that enmity was forgotten, as Clinton portrayed Obama as a kindred spirit who faced many of the same conditions that he encountered upon taking office in 1992. Clinton argued that it wasn't until his second term that most Americans began to feel the effect of his economic policies.
"No president, not me, not any of my predecessors, no one could have fully repaired all the damage he found in just four years," Clinton said. "But he has laid the foundation for a new modern successful economy, a shared prosperity and if you will renew the president's contract, you will feel it."

Clinton devoted about half his speech to a detailed analysis of Obama's initiatives aimed at fixing the economy: The Recovery Act, the bailout of the auto industry, an energy plan that emphasizes greater efficiency, lower student loan costs, the controversial health care overhaul, a plan to cut the national debt.
"I know we're better off because President Obama made the decisions he did," Clinton said.
He also delivered a withering criticism of the GOP ticket and some of its biggest gripes about Obama. He debunked the Republican charge that Obama gutted the welfare-to-work law, which Clinton signed as president, and that Obama plans to raid Medicare of more than $700 million.
Clinton, who made a career of working with members of the opposing party, charged that the current GOP was dominated by a right wing that thrived on hate and division.
"Democracy does not have to be a blood sport. It can be an honorable enterprise that advances the public interest," Clinton said.
"Barack Obama, he is still committed to constructive cooperation."
Then Clinton turned to the GOP platform, arguing that Mitt Romney's plan to balance the federal budget "fails the first test of fiscal responsibility: the numbers just don't add up."
He added: "President Obama's plan cuts the debt, honors our values, and brightens the future for our children, our families and our nation. It's a heck of a lot better. It passes the arithmetic test and, even better, it passes the values test."
Republicans tried to spin Clinton's appearance Wednesday as misplaced nostalgia that bears little relation to Obama's performance.
"President Clinton drew a stark contrast between himself and President Obama tonight," said Romney spokesman Ryan Williams. "Bill Clinton worked with Republicans, balanced the budget, and after four years he could say you were better off. Barack Obama hasn't worked across the aisle - he's barely worked with other Democrats - and has the worst economic record of any president in modern history. President Clinton's speech brought the disappointment and failure of President Obama's time in office clearly into focus."
Clinton was preceded by Elizabeth Warren, a rising star in the Democratic Party who is running for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts. Warren, a leading voice in the party's progressive wing, railed against the "corrosive greed" that has decimated the middle class. She cited as examples oil companies reaping record profits, billionaires paying taxes as lower rates than their secretaries and members of Congress who "act like we should thank them."
"People feel like the system is rigged against them. And here's the painful part. They're right, the system is rigged," she said.

One for me and one as a gift. I specifically selected to have only one wrapped (and had to pay extra of course). Both pairs were packed in the same gift box. So I had to unwrap the gift so I wouldn't be giving my friend two pairs of scissors. It was so frustrating!Date published: 2013-04-06Rated 5 out of 5 by kittyb from Great Replacement Shears! I purchased to replace shears that were included in a cutting block set that I had for years. The fact that they pull-apart is wonderful, so that they are easily cleaned. Quite sharp as well. Be careful when pulling apart and/or putting back together, although simple, the first time I washed it, it slipped out of my hand. Thank goodness it fell in the sink...Date published: 2012-06-26

I've recently returned from a lovely trip to Boston, filled with so many of my favourite things: friends, family, books, and baseball.
I love Fenway Park, and I'm always happy to be there. On this trip, we saw three great games, two of them wins, so I was thrilled. The games were marred by only one thing: nearly constant propaganda for the US military. This is not an exaggeration.
Throughout Fenway Park, as in many sports venues, there are monitors showing a TV feed of the action on the field. Right now, between innings, the Fenway Park monitors show a continuous feed of advertising for the United States Army. During the game, the ads continue on a sidebar beside the action.
Let that sink in a moment. The constant advertising crammed into every moment of the ballgame, and the constant linking of sports and the military, are now joined in this doubly offensive development.
There is something particularly Orwellian about watching a baseball game while a constant stream of silent images of war and military run in your peripheral vision.
I gathered from the brief branding displays that the ad feed is supplied by Access Sports Media. According to its website, Access Sports Media
provides advertisers cross-platform solutions engaging passionate fans in sports venues nationwide through digital out of home, social media, mobile, and in-venue sponsorships. Access Sports reaches more than 110 million viewers annually through a national footprint of 200 sports properties and a digital network of over 20,000 screens across professional, minor league and college sports.Its list of clients includes many major corporations, a few specific products, and - listed first - the US Army.
The Army ads themselves stem from a campaign written about here in The New York Times, called a "reality" theme without a trace of irony. Of course, it bears little resemblance to reality. There are no bombings, no destroyed villages, no torture prisons. No amputations, no traumatic brain injury, no alcoholism, no domestic violence, no suicides.
The ads are built around the slogan "Army Strong": "There's strong, then there's Army Strong". This is a particularly good sell for a Boston-area audience: after the Boston Marathon bombing, the city rallied to a cry of "Boston Strong". The Times article notes that the ads are
an example of what is known on Madison Avenue as a program-length commercial or infomercial. Once the province of gadgets peddled with hard-sales entreaties like, "But wait, there's more," such longer spiels have been embraced by well-known brands like AT&T, Bing, Chase and Teleflora, along with a number of automakers.The "Army Strong" ads at Fenway are a barrage of quick-cut images emphasizing camaraderie and bonding, toughness and strength, dirt and grit, and stirring patriotism. Men (I saw no female soldiers in the ads, although there might be one somewhere) worked hard and played hard, always together, often dirty, but always serious and strong. In a world where career choices often involve life behind a desk or tethered to a computer, the men in these ads were running across rugby fields, rappelling down snow-covered mountainsides, parachuting out of airplanes, and using lots of exciting-looking equipment.
Program-length commercials are becoming more popular as part of a trend known as content marketing, sponsored content or branded entertainment. The trend is meant to counter the growing habit — particularly among younger consumers, like the target audience for the Army, ages 18 to 24 — of ignoring traditional forms of advertising.
Only two quick images gave any hint as to why so many men are running, rappelling, shooting, and seeing the world through night-vision goggles. In one image, a woman in a hijab slides a slip of paper in a ballot box. In another, a group of soldiers sit in a circle in a tent, listening to a traditionally-dressed Afghan man (or, I should say, an actor dressed as one). What's the caption here? "How many weddings did we bomb today?" "You take the oil, we'll keep the heroin"? Or maybe just "Me smokem peace pipe."
As both Allan and I have written about before (here, here, and here, for example), there is already a huge amount of military propaganda inappropriately linked to sports events. The Boston Red Sox and the many other teams that contract with Access Sports Media - a list is here - now take the trend to new extremes.
I wrote this to the Boston Red Sox. If you are a sports fan who finds this advertising offensive, I hope you will speak up to your team's management, too.
I am a Red Sox fan who lives out of town. I am able to enjoy games at Fenway about every-other year, at best. I love Fenway Park, and thus, when I attended three games against the Texas Rangers last week, I was extremely disheartened to be subjected to continuous military recruitment advertisements.
Many young people, especially those from low-income families, believe what they see in the United States Army's ads and enlist, only to find the reality gravely different. Of course, who would ever sign up if the ads showed the truth? Amputations, traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder; rampant alcoholism and domestic violence, skyrocketing suicide rates.
By partnering with Access Sports Media to show these deceptive ads at Fenway Park, the Red Sox are complicit in that deception.
The Red Sox Foundation promotes the "Run to Home Base," which raises money to "provide much needed services to local veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan . . . with combat stress disorders and/or traumatic brain injuries". At the same time, the Red Sox are helping to ensure that more healthy young men and women will eventually need those services.
The constant showing of military propaganda during a baseball game is inappropriate and offensive. I hope the Boston Red Sox will reconsider the decision to run Access Sports Media's US Army recruitment ads during games.

I don't watch any sports aside from baseball, but I can't help notice the blatant jingoism (at least in the broadcasts) of ALL the games, including ones not covered by NESN. (Like when FOX does the playoffs.)
Of course it's not just stuff in the form of ads or videos. There's outright propaganda in the form of staged events that are intertwined within the games themselves:
Heartwarming reunions where family members are surprised by a returning soldier in front of the thousands in attendance at the stadium and the millions watching at home (so we associate warm and fuzzy feelings with military occupations), like the ending of "1984" had it starred Drew Barrymore.
Fighter jet flyovers to mark every special game. It's an unquestioned given. If it's an important game--military flyover. It's never jugglers. It's never the visiting cast of a hit Broadway play invited to perform. It's always military fly-overs. (And if those alternate suggestions I gave sound silly, I'd like to point out that they have about as much to do with baseball as military jets do.)
I think I've mentioned before the pre-show interviews with people "visiting" the game who happen to be in the military, and who always happen to be in their military uniform. I think I've made the joke that they must've been fighting a battle minutes before buying a ticket at the window, because otherwise it's hard to understand a reason for someone to show up at a game that way. (How about doctors showing up at games with latex gloves on and one of those headbands with the circular mirrors? Like they had to rush to the ballpark immediately after performing a vasectomy.)
Some of that can be dismissed as simply paid-for propaganda. But what is harder to slough off is that whenever anyone (be it media figure or a player or anyone else you encounter in life) is asked to comment on the soldiers fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq, they always, always, always say that these people are heroes because if it weren't for them killing Iraqis, "we wouldn't have our freedoms."
This is an answer given so consistently that I genuinely believe this isn't part of some conscious paid-for campaign, but that people actually believe this. (Although one could make the argument that the paid-for propaganda is the reason this is the accepted truth.)
It's like people can't make any distinction between various actions by the military. The soldiers fought for freedom in WWII, so logically, that must mean that every single military action ever taken place is equally necessary and something to be championed. It reminds me of when George W. ran for president (the second time) and his speech-writers actually had the balls to have Bush remind people during a debate that Abraham Lincoln was a Republican. (Because apparently that means that every Republican since then has mimicked Lincoln's exact same political platform. That's what Bush is best known for, I guess, his amazing relationship with black people.)

At the end of the home half of the fourth inning of every home game, the Red Sox always highlight a specific veteran. It's called "Hats Off To Heroes" and it salutes those "who protect our way of life". At one of the three games, the announcer mentioned various tours of duty, including Egypt. (Why Egypt, you might ask? What is Egypt doing to threaten "our way of life"? ... Don't ask.) Needless to say, fans fairly leap out of their seats to cheer.
knowing the Red Sox owners political bent this sort of surprises me
But this is the military and honouring the men and women who fight our wars. It's not political at all. However, if you criticize it, THEN you are making it a political issue. Simply condoning it is normal.

A brilliant comment by Maxwell Horse, deserving of its own post on a blog or in a magazine somewhere.
The soldiers fought for freedom in WWII, so logically, that must mean that every single military action ever taken place is equally necessary and something to be championed.
Exactly. And always linked to "protecting our way of life". As if the citizens of Iraq and Afghanistan were in any way, in any possible stretch of the imagination, threatening "our way of life". And as if bombing their homes, subjecting them to chemical weapons, and torturing them in prison, in any way protects and enhances our lives.
But this "protecting our way of life" trope goes unquestioned in the mainstream.

The US military is protecting our way of life if one understands that our way of life includes "bombing their homes, subjecting them to chemical weapons, and torturing them in prison...." These actions are what we do, what we like, what we need, and what we protect.
Pious, self-congratulatory sadism is the American Way.

Brody Jenner Gossip
Brody Jenner gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
VMA Man-off?
There was apparently a moment last night during arrivals when Brody Jenner had to share some of his teen panty heat with Michael Phelps. Rumour has it this did not go over very well. That Brody was rather dismissive of the dolphin man and had himself a little jealous snit. Isn't there enough ass to go around? Brody doesn't share? Perhaps they made up at the afterparties? Because as everyone knows, double the pleasure when you work together. Full Story
Brody > Chace
Brody Jenner and Chace Crawford at the MMVAs last night. Don't quiver for either. But straight up, boy to boy, it's Brody all the way. Seriously… there are those of you who don't get it. I'm on your side. The frenzy over reality stars is alarming. Having said that, Brody Jenner is the captain of the football team. Full Story
Bros Before Hos
Is that what they say? Duana was trying to remember the female equivalent last week. It came to her in the end: Chicks before dicks. But this is about Bromance… and Brody Jenner has just landed his own show on MTV Full Story
Almost a year ago, about the same time she entered rehab for the first of three visits, Lindsay Lohan was supposedly horny-texting Brody Jenner, telling him she was craving "McDonald's and sex". Twelve months later, even though Brody apparently has a serious girlfriend, he and Lilo are both in New York and were all over each other this weekend on the club scene. Full Story

Anna Kendrick's Cocktail of Choice? Whiskey!
Plus: More star sightings!
Just one day before the Academy Awards, 50/50 star Anna Kendrick managed to fit in a little relaxation time after walking the red carpet at the Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica, Calif., on Saturday. She and an unidentifiable male "made a beeline" backstage where she sipped on a cocktail made of Jameson Irish Whiskey, a three-year sponsor of the awards. An onlooker tells PEOPLE that the actress "was very friendly to others in the lounge and seemed to be a in a great mood as she enjoyed her beverage." – Dahvi Shira

The impact of psoriasis on the skin can be very visible. What is often not so apparent is the toll it can take on sufferers' experiences, feelings, and behaviors. Shelly, who developed psoriasis at the age of eleven, knows the emotional pain all too well. "I was often treated like an outcast," she recalls. "When other kids noticed the psoriasis on my arms, they thought it was contagious and didn't want to come near me. Some parents even told their kids to stay away from me."
Social Stigma
For many years, Shelly struggled with feelings of shame, low self-esteem, isolation, and loss of self-confidence. "For me, the worst was seeing the fear it aroused in some people. After a while, I started to feel like I was a "freak" she says. These feelings carried over into adulthood. Shelly wore long sleeves to cover up her psoriasis, even on hot days. She avoided the beach. Socially, she had become so unsure of herself that she expected rejection. "I dated a few men who were emotionally abusive, and I just put up with it. I thought no one else would want me."
In her late twenties, Shelly decided to become more proactive with regard to her skin disease. "I was working as a preschool teacher and had done a good job hiding my psoriasis. Then one day at a gathering, one of the administrators caught a glimpse of my arm and seemed very alarmed. Shortly thereafter, I was fired for reasons that made no sense to me. I felt that it was because of the psoriasis." Driven by her emotional wounds, Shelly entered therapy and became involved in efforts to educate the public about psoriasis. "Having worked through the shame and humiliation, I was finally able to talk openly and confidently about my skin condition. The most beneficial thing for me has been working to eliminate fear, ignorance, and insensitivity in others" she says.
Experiences like Shelly's are not uncommon among sufferers of psoriasis and other chronic skin conditions. Feelings of sadness, helplessness, guilt, anger, and low self-esteem may surface as a person struggles to cope with the disease. Frustration can arise from lack of understanding about the disease or the difficulty finding an effective treatment. Sufferers may not have anyone who can understand the challenges that psoriasis brings to their lives. These are completely normal responses, but sometimes they lead to depression.
Coping Strategies
Not everyone with a chronic skin disease needs help developing emotional coping strategies, but many do, especially if their skin condition is severe. Emotional and social coping varies among individuals and is often related to personality type. Some people are less self-conscious than others, or better able to shrug off inquistive looks, insensitive comments or rejection. Here are some effective coping strategies.
A good therapist can help you work through pain, self-consciousness, and psychological immobilization. If possible, it would be beneficial to find a therapist with experience treating individuals with skin conditions. Many people find help and freedom by being able to talk openly about their condition and how it has impacted their lives. A good therapist can help you work through feelings of shame and self-consciousness so that you have a better quality of life. A good therapist can help you feel more comfortable and confident with psoriasis, but cannot necessarily help you erase all the disturbing feelings.
Support Groups and Networks
Many people who suffer from psoriasis find it helpful to talk to others who have the same condition. A good place to start would be contacting the National Psoriasis Foundation. Support networks provide an atmosphere of understanding, acceptance, openness, and information sharing. If no support groups exist in your area, consider starting one. Even a small and informal network with just one or two people can help you feel less alone in your suffering.
Other Supportive Strategies
- Learn as much as you can about psoriasis and keep yourself abreast of new information. By educating yourself, you will be better able to take care of yourself and discuss your condition with others.
- Practice answering questions about psoriasis so that you are more comfortable talking about it.
- Focus on the positive things in your life—family, friends, hobbies, pleasurable activities, developing your talents, etc. Find new activities and groups to join, if necessary. Psoriasis may be painful, but it's just one small part of your life. Don't let it take center stage and hold you back from living fully.
Do things that empower you. This may include:
- Setting and achieving personal and professional goals
- Developing friendships and support systems
- Reframing the way you view your condition-seeing it as a medical condition rather than as something weird and embarrassing
- Taking good care of your health and appearance

Kayla Donahe
Age: 16
Save Date: 5/19/2009
Activity: playing soccer
Tuesday, May 19, 2009: this date I will remember for the rest of my life. It was what seemed to be a normal day. I woke up at my usual time, got ready for the day and headed out the door for school. I was a 16 year-old sophomore at Valley High School in West Des Moines, Iowa. The school day, again pretty typical, ended and I headed home to get ready for my last soccer game of the season which was against my school's biggest rival, Dowling Catholic High School. This is all that I can remember from that day.
My next memory is when I awoke several days later in the hospital, surrounded by my family, clueless as to what had happened to me and why I was there. It was explained to me that I had suffered a sudden cardiac arrest while playing soccer. This was so confusing to me and my family as well, as I have always been active and healthy, had never displayed any signs or symptoms and there was not a family history. I had played soccer since I was five years old, ran track, and played volleyball, too.
From what I am told, I had been playing in the soccer game for about five minutes when I suddenly collapsed midfield and was unresponsive. The coaches called 911 and spectators from the stands rushed to my side to start CPR. Nearly nine minutes later, two police officers arrived with an AED and administered the first shock. The EMS/Fire crew arrived shortly thereafter and began their resuscitation efforts. Several shocks later and still unresponsive, I was loaded into the ambulance and in route to Blank Children's Hospital. Thankfully, I finally returned a pulse. The records indicate that I had been without a pulse for 25 minutes that day.
I spent a week at Blank Children's hospital and was then transferred to the University of Iowa Hospital in Iowa City for further testing. A diagnosis had not been made but it was determined that I should have and ICD implanted. The ICD was implanted, and six days later I was on my way home to continue my recovery. I had missed the last two weeks of my sophomore year.
Now, I am a junior at Valley High School. I am restricted from competitive sports but am allowed to do pretty much anything else I choose. My memory of everything prior to that soccer game is amazingly in tact. Even though it is unknown as to what exactly happened at that moment during the game, I feel extremely fortunate to have survived. I am very grateful for everyone that had a hand in saving me that day, the people performing CPR, police officers, EMS crew, doctors, nurses, etc., and so thankful that they did not give up on me. I thank God every day that I am alive and healthy.
My family has since joined forces with West Des Moines EMS, Iowa Health and AED Access for All to create the "Kayla's Angels" program. The main purpose of this program, in addition to increasing the awareness of sudden cardiac arrest, is to acquire AEDs, place them in the schools and at sports facilities within our community and facilitate CPR/AED training. More information on the program may be accessed at www.aedaccessforall.org.

BGTG 77 - Recent Game Rambling
No, I haven't disappeared again, and this little episode is meant to prove it. I have more to say about other games, my year in review, my new top ten list, and a backlog of feedback to work through. But this is what I could get out right now, and it'll have to do. In it, I talk about some older games I played with my son & other kids (and gamer-dad Dave Gullett) at a recent SoCal Games Day. Then I spend a little more time talking about some new games I've had a chance to try. For a guy that mostly plays recent & old favorites, I was a bit surprised that I had things to say about Kingsburg, Amyitis, Race for the Galaxy, and Cold War: CIA vs KGB

Donald Trump warned on Thursday that a cloud of investigation would follow Hillary Clinton into the White House, evoking the bitter impeachment battle of the 1990s in a closing campaign argument meant to bring wayward Republicans home. Clinton and her allies, led by President Barack Obama, told voters to get serious about the alternative.
Fiercely negative exchanges between the Republican businessman and his Democratic rival signaled the long-slog campaign was likely to end on a low note, as polls show Trump closing in on Clinton in key battleground states. Clinton's shrinking lead has given Trump's campaign a glimmer of hope, one he's trying to broaden into breakthrough before time runs out.
That means courting the moderate Republicans and independents who have been the holdouts of his campaign, voters turned off by Trump's controversies but equally repelled by the possible return of the Clintons. Trump directed his message at those voters at a rally in Jacksonville, where he zeroed in on questions of Clinton's trustworthiness and a new FBI review of an aide's emails.
U.S. & World
"Here we go again with the Clintons — you remember the impeachment and the problems." Trump said. "That's not what we need in our country, folks. We need someone who is ready to go to work."
Obama and allies, meanwhile, are seeking to keep the spotlight on Trump, charging that his disparaging comments about women and minorities make him unfit for office. The stakes are higher than a typical election and Americans need to get serious about the choice, Obama told students at Florida International University in Miami.
"This isn't a joke. This isn't 'Survivor.' This isn't 'The Bachelorette.'" Obama said. "This counts.
Obama openly taunted the former reality-TV star, zig-zagging from mockery to dire warnings to boasting about his own record in office. And he repeatedly returned to his new campaign catchphrase capturing his disbelief in the unpredictable race to replace him.
"C'mon, man," he said, to cheers.
The president's mission in the final push before Tuesday is to fire up the Democratic base — and bait the Republican into veering off message. Democrats are counting on Trump not to have the discipline or the ground game to capitalize on a late surge.
But the famously unconventional Trump has so far hewed closer to convention, running some upbeat ads, bringing out his wife for a rare campaign appearance and even talking publicly about trying not to get distracted.
"We don't want to blow it on Nov. 8," Trump said Thursday in Jacksonville.
Trump's path to victory remains narrow. He must win Florida to win the White House, no easy feat. Still, his campaign has been buoyed by tightening polls there and in other key battlegrounds, as well as by signs that African-American turnout for Clinton may be lagging.
Clinton's team will try to drive up enthusiasm in the final weekend, capping its efforts by bringing Clinton and Obama together, along with their spouses, for a final pre-election rally in Philadelphia on Monday evening.
Trump's wife, Melania Trump, campaigned in a suburb of Philadelphia on Thursday, her first turn on the trail since the Republican convention in July. The former model is trying to counter the Clinton campaign's pounding attacks on her husband as anti-woman.
Mrs. Trump said that, if she becomes first lady, she'd focus on combatting online bullying as part of her work as an advocate for women and children.
"Our culture has gotten too mean and too rough, especially to children and teenagers," she said.
She said that it's "absolutely unacceptable" when children are mocked, bullied and attacked online anonymously.
Mrs. Trump's goals may seem at odds with her husband, who has a long history of using Twitter to insult people.
Mrs Trump said: "We have to find a better way to talk to each other, to disagree with each other, to respect each other."
Late Thursday, Trump delivered a defense-themed speech in battleground North Carolina, saying he can't picture Hillary Clinton being commander in chief.
Trump saluted a dozen veterans on stage with him in Selma and asked of Clinton, "to think of her being their boss?"
Trump answered himself, saying: "I don't think so."
He also praised the veterans by saying they are "so much more brave than me. I'm brave in other ways. I'm financially brave, big deal!"
The Republican nominee also vowed to outfit the military with the best equipment and to modernize the armed forces. Trump is trying to court the sizeable military vote in North Carolina, one of the most hotly contested battleground states.
Trump isn't the first Republican to raise warnings of a new cycle of scandal and investigation. Republicans lawmakers have recently threatened to block Clinton's Supreme Court nominees, investigate her endlessly or even impeach her over her use of private emails as secretary of state.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi on Thursday hit back, saying any effort to impeach Clinton "would be a brazen attempt to nullify the vote of the American people" and would be a waste of time and taxpayers' money. Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine said he was "really despaired" by the talk.

Church of England votes to allow female bishops
LONDON — The Church of England voted Monday to admit female bishops for the first time in its history.
A move by clergy in 2012 to approve similar legislation to allow women to become bishops was backed by many in the church but blocked by traditionalists.
The church first ordained female priests in 1994.
"Today is the completion of what was begun over 20 years with the ordination of women as priests. I am delighted with today's result," Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said in a statement.
"The challenge for us will be for the church to model good disagreement and to continue to demonstrate love for those who disagree on theological grounds," he said. "Very few institutions achieve this, but if we manage this, we will be living (out) more fully the call of Jesus Christ to love one another."
Approval of the change, which overturns centuries of Anglican tradition, required a two-thirds majority by the General Synod — the church's highest governing body, which is made up of the House of Bishops, House of Clergy and House of Laity. Monday's historic vote took place in the city of York.
The Church of England, which broke from the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century, has the largest Christian denomination in Britain. It has a presence in more than 160 countries. The first female bishops could be appointed as early as next year. The U.S. branch, the Episcopal Church, already allows the ordination of female bishops.
Lorna Ashworth, a lay member of the General Synod who voted against the measure, warned on BBC television that the vote would not lead to a "smooth road ahead" for the church, but "we will do what we can to make it work." Others, including Britain's political establishment, expressed approval at ending the exclusion of women as bishops.
"Well done to @JustinWelby for his leadership on securing a yes vote for women bishops," Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg declared on Twitter. It is a "big moment for the Church of England."
Archbishop of York John Sentamu said, "This is a momentous day. Generations of women have served the Lord faithfully in the Church of England for centuries. It is a moment of joy today."

Once employed, the employee usually fills out an employee form that he needs to fill out with the information requested. An employee form template would normally look like a form with the name of the company on top, and a title stating New Employee Form. An employee form template would normally ask for the name of the person, his department or his position title. Those information are necessary so that from the list of many employees of the company, each one may be identified from the other. Part of the template would be the complete address of the employee.

- More about Swiss Diamond
Based in Sierre, Switzerland, Swiss Diamond began in 1974 as a scientific research company that explored new materials and surface coatings. As the demand for nonstick cookware exploded in the 1990s, the company developed a method of reinforcing a nonstick composite with real diamond crystals. The result was an extremely hard, scratch-resistant and heat-conductive nonstick surface. In 2011, the company launched Swiss Diamond, the first cast-aluminum cookware featuring the patented coating. Swiss Diamond continues to test and improve its nonstick cookware while employing ecologically sustainable practices. Notably, it uses 100% recycled aluminum to make its cookware, the factory is powered by 100% hydroelectric power from the Swiss Alps, and the nonstick-coating production process is free of PFOA from start to finish.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LawyerMom from I love these peelers! so happy I purchased these! Lightweight, but handle potatoes easily. Very sharp, though, so be careful with your fingers!Date published: 2017-05-12Rated 5 out of 5 by Decorateme from Sharp and light I love these peelers. I've had for almost 2 years and they work perfect every time. There is minimal waste because they are so light so they do not crush the produce while peeling. Highly recommended.Date published: 2016-08-27Rated 5 out of 5 by Vivi68 from No more mangled kiwis These peelers are very light and very sharp. I've mostly used the serrated one so far. It makes peeling soft kiwis and tomatoes a breeze. I tried out the straight- edge peeler on carrots - it works well if you peel carrots, which I generally don't. Looking forward to using it more when we start using the winter vegetables like sweet potatoes and squash. Swissmar has excellent customer service. I lost one of the plastic guards that cover the blades so you don't cut yourself when pulling them out of your drawer. I called the company and the person responding (I think her name was Lori), sent me several more. It would be nice if the guards were color coded. It's easy to lose a small piece of clear plastic in your kitchen - at least it is for me. I now have put a piece of colored tape on each guard so they are easier to spot.Date published: 2014-09-07Rated 4 out of 5 by Mihaya from So helpful, I bought a set for a friend. Great for peeling papaya, tomato skin, etc. The julienne peeler is also good and much handier than having to clean the food processor for just a few strips. The plain peeler is nothing special (thus 4 stars instead of 5). They all clean easily.Date published: 2014-07-04Rated 1 out of 5 by Cherilovestocook from My least favorite peelers I found them cheaply made and did not do the job they were intended for ...so returned them. Maybe it was just me based on the other reviews I read.Date published: 2014-05-28Rated 5 out of 5 by branna from best peelers ever! I've used two of three peelers so far. I peeled both peaches and tomatoes with the serrated one with no trouble. The general peeler is very fast and comfortable in my hand. Thinking of giving this set as stocking stuffers to the cooks in my family.Date published: 2013-09-18Rated 5 out of 5 by ChefOrgana from Handy Tools These peelers are very handy to have in your kitchen tool collection. Each one has a useful function. I was particularly impressed with the serrated edge peeler that will peel the skin from more delicate items such as kiwi.Date published: 2013-08-17Rated 5 out of 5 by FoodieJane from Awesome Peelers These peelers are amazing. I can get through a bag of carrots or potatoes so fast with the straight-edged peeler. The serrated peeler makes difficult tasks like peeling butternut squash and mango a breeze. I don't use the julienne blade as often as the other two, but it is really convenient when I want some carrot or cheese shreds for salads.Date published: 2013-04-19

I made an awful mistake which turned out quite nice, I used Balti sauce instead of paste and so halfway through added a few more tbsp of the jar and some mild curry powder, simmered the whole thing for an extra few minutes and it was delicious, will definitely try the original recipe another time but for now i'm quite happy with the result

I am shocked that a reputable source such as Good Food magazine could describe this as a "laksa" A laksa is a Malaysian dish consisting of a distinctive spice paste, coconut milk and noodles plus other ingredients A one pot Quinoa dish (has anyone in Malaysia ever tasted Quinoa? It comes from the Andes) made with Indian spice paste and dairy milk bears little resemblance to Malay cuisine It may be a nice quick one pot dish, but it is NOT a laksa

This makes for an incredibly speedy, healthy and satisfying dinner! I used a 450g bag of frozen mix veg and three cubes of frozen spinach, otherwise I kept all the other ingredients as stated in the recipe. I used Patak's mild spicy curry paste and got a lovely creamy consistency. Will make it again and again!
25th Mar, 2013
I made this with Almond milk instead of ordinary milk. I also added some chicken breast. I halved the ingredients and it was enough for 3 portions. I found it a bit too spicy (I only eat Kormas mind you.) so I'd reduce my Korma paste to 1tbsp next time. Wondering whether I can freeze my leftovers.... It was quite tasty and very quick and easy. Best of all it's quite healthy. I'll make it again. Will probably try it with rice just to experiment.

We loved this dinner! It satisfied us as well as an Indian takeaway! I fried the onion in a little oil, added 2 tbsp madras paste, then fresh carrot, mixed peppers and quorn pieces. I followed suggestions of half milk, half coconut milk. I forgot to hear the milk, but it didn't curdle. I did add the coconut a few minutes later, not sure of that made a difference( only because I'd forgotten to buy some and sent husband to shop!) I also forgot to buy flat bread, but found a great recipe: in food processor:- 250g sr flour, 250g yogurt, half tbsp of baking powder, sea salt, wizzed it, flattened it and dry fried on high heat in griddle pan- took 3 mins start to finish! All tasted delicious and a bonus that quinoa is a 'super food' :-)

This is a Thursday's Travels - Anything about previous, current and future (upcoming) travel exploits entry under my Singapore Travel Blog themed blog posts! For more info about the themed blog posts, do read the entry here.
While BFF and I were researching for our trip last year, we had decided that we wanted the hanbok experience. We wanted to wear a hanbok and walk along the streets in Korea.
I mean, we could buy a hanbok and bring it home but when will we wear it? Might as well rent a hanbok and have the full experience in Korea.
After doing some research, we came across Oneday Hanbok which allowed us to rent a hanbok in Korea. Plus the hanbok was great to cover my baby bump then! (was about 5-6 months pregnant, if I remembered correctly)
Oneday Hanbok was conveniently located at one of the train stations.

How the Eagles Steered From Country to Rock With 'On the Border'
Their first record helped kick off the country-rock boom of the '70s, but by the time they got around to their third album, the Eagles were ready to put a little more emphasis on the "rock" portion of their sound.
"I hate when people call us a country-rock band because they are so full of it," complained guitarist Glenn Frey in an interview with Phonograph Record. "We can do anything! We can do rock and roll, we can do country music — anything."
To prove it, the band butted heads with producer Glyn Johns, who'd directed them through their self-titled debut and its follow-up, 1973's Desperado — even though, as Eagles drummer Don Henley pointed out, "Doing our first album with Glyn Johns was a stroke of genius on everyone's part. Especially his. Because he was a real strong producer, in the face of first-album weirdness. He was able to say, 'Hey, Henley, you go here, Frey, you do this, and even if you don't know where it's leading, trust me, this is for the best.' He really helped us make two albums."
Sessions for the third LP, On the Border, which was released in March 1974, proved more problematic. After cutting a pair of songs with Johns ("You Never Cry Like a Lover" and "Best of My Love," the latter of which went on to become a No. 1 single), the band fired him and hired Bill Szymczyk because, as Henley later told Crawdaddy!, "Glyn thought we were a nice, country-rock, semi-acoustic band, and every time we wanted to rock 'n' roll, he could name a thousand British bands that could do it better."
Comparing the two producers' approaches, Henley continued, "There's a lot less echo with Bill, for one thing. There's more of a raw and funky presence. Glyn had a stamp he put on his records which is a deep echo that is really smooth like ice cream."
Although Henley and Frey stressed that they were still friendly with Johns, their former producer bristled at the notion that he wasn't capable of delivering the sound they needed. "The six weeks in the studio were a disaster area, but I will sit here and tell you that it had nothing at all to do with me," he retorted. "There were a lot of hang-ups, individually and with each other. But what it boils down to is they weren't ready to make another record."
Whatever the real reasons for the split, things smoothed out once the band hooked up with Szymczyk — and they reached another level entirely after they recruited new guitarist Don Felder, who was offered full-fledged membership in the group after they brought him in to lay down a slide solo on "Good Day in Hell."
"I've been a Don Felder fan for about a year-and-a-half," Frey enthused during the Crawdaddy! interview. "Ever since I heard him playing in a dressing room in Boston one night. I saw him at a concert in L.A. and asked if he'd come down and put some slide on 'Good Day in Hell,' but with every take he just blew us all away. If he isn't Duane Allman reincarnate, I don't know who the f— is. I feel better than ever since he's joined. It's much fuller onstage now."
As Felder recalled during a conversation with Ultimate Classic Rock's Matt Wardlaw, his Eagles introduction happened courtesy of his long friendship with co-founding Eagle Bernie Leadon, who'd replaced Stephen Stills in Felder's high school band the Maundy Quintet. After years of Leadon telling Felder he needed to move to Los Angeles, Felder finally relented, and the rest is history.
"I had known Bernie a long time, so I'd been in and around the Eagles at their shows when they came through New York or Boston," Felder told UCR. "I'd go down to see my friend, I'd play backstage with them. I'd jam with Bernie, just like we did in the old days. So I finally got a call from Bernie once I was in L.A., saying 'We want you to come into the studio and play some slide guitar on this one song called 'Good Day in Hell.' I said 'Okay,' and I went in the studio with my guitar and my little amp and set it up. It took a couple hours — we did this track, I played the solo and everything on it, and the next day I got a call from Glenn Frey asking me to join the band."
Eagles fans are painfully aware of how short-lived that bond between Frey and Felder would ultimately prove to be, but in the short term, the group's punchier sound helped reverse the sales slide they'd suffered with Desperado. Although the album-closing ballad "Best of My Love" turned out to be the record's big hit, that song's gentle strains were buttressed by tougher tracks like "Good Day in Hell" and "Already Gone," which broke the Top 40. Still, Felder had to give it some hard thought before he accepted the band's invitation.
"It was a bit of a difficult decision, because my wife was seven months pregnant with our first child, and I'd heard from Bernie that the Eagles were always in the middle of some contentious relationship — fights exploding, somebody always threatening to quit, blah blah blah, and at the time, I was playing with David Crosby and Graham Nash. I was doing Stephen Stills' parts, but I was making $1500 a week, which back then was like making $15,000 a week today — it was a great-paying gig, and it was a constant source of income," he told UCR. "I was really concerned that if I joined the band and they broke up after my wife had the baby, I would have made the worst possible mistake."
Felder ultimately resolved the conflict — and became a crucial part of one of the biggest bands of the '70s — by hitting up his boss for advice. "I went to Graham and asked him, 'What do I do?' and he said, 'Oh, you should do that. That's the best move you could make. Just being a sideman doesn't really take you anywhere.' So I took Graham's advice, joined the band, went back in the studio the next day, and started recording on 'Already Gone,' 'On the Border,' and a bunch of different songs I ended up playing on. We literally went right from the studio to being on the road, so the rest is kind of history. And indeed, it did seem like I joined a band that was constantly breaking up — day to day, I just learned to bite the bullet and hang in there."
On the Border resonated with audiences on both sides of the Atlantic, hitting No. 17 in the U.S. and making it to No. 28 in the U.K. While they'd enjoyed success with their debut record, the Eagles were truly off and running after Border, which laid the groundwork for 1975's chart-topping One of These Nights album.
"The important thing to remember with this group is that the whole is bigger than the sum of its parts," Henley told Hit Parader. "The Eagles and what we've created is bigger than all five of us put together. It's hard when five guys want to do everything. You see, there's no leader in the Eagles, because everybody is an egomaniac. X can be leader for one day before someone rises up and says 'F— you.' It's so hard, but that's what keeps things getting better."
Those egos may have kept things getting better, but from Felder's point of view, it might have been the sixth guy in the studio, Szymczyk, who managed to keep things together. "Bill was just delightful to work with. He's about six foot four, so he's really hard to argue with," he laughed to UCR. "He managed to be kind of the father figure on the room who would help with some of the disputes and keep the band moving toward finalizing records. Just kind of focusing us on finishing the songs and finishing the records. Not only that, but he was a great engineer — he had unbelievable ears to hear parts of a song, or sections of a take, that really sounded tight."

A bar in Spokane, Wash., on Tuesday slammed a news report that said rape victims boycotted the establishment over the name of a drink called the "Date Grape Kool-Aid."
The Daiquiri Factory took to Facebook to fire back at what they called a "BS" report about the drink.
"They felt that running a slanderous story by a source that they did not fact check on.. which started this media firestorm, to cover up that mistake.. continued to report on the story yesterday on all newscasts.. to get all sides of the story..." the Facebook post said.
U.S. & World
The Facebook post named KXLY 4 News as the main offender, but news sites around the web reported on the same story. The Daiquiri Factory introduced the drink to promote the launch of the bar's new location in downtown Spokane. Despite protests and calls for an apology, the bar announced on Facebook that they sold 10 gallons of "Date Grape" last weekend.
The bar's latest Facebook post says that the inspiration for the name comes from an Urban Dictionary term that means "hooking up" after getting drunk on wine with a loved one.
"For The Protestors, you simply had it all wrong," the post said before providing a link to the Urban Dictionary definition.
Critics launched their own Facebook page called "Boycott Spokane Downtown Daiquiri Factory" to function as a "wake up call to the owners of this business and drop the name of their offensively named 'Date Grape Koolaid.'"
Kraft Foods, who owns the Kool-Aid brand, also spoke out against the name of the drink.
"Kool-Aid does not support or condone this drink, and finds its name to be highly insensitive to a serious issue," Kraft spokesperson Caroline Krajewski said in a statement on The Spokesman-Review. " This blatant misuse of the Kool-Aid trademark is offensive to so many, including us."

Lost : 2016, 148 Liquid Force Overdrive Board.
Date : Yesterday 21st November 2017
Place : Hill Head, Lee on the Solent, Hampshire
Time : Around 10:00 am
The board was left by mistake on the beach at the waterline on a rising tide.
10 minutes later when back at the beach it was gone.
When I spoke to an angler further up the beach and asked if he'd seen anyone carrying a kiteboard, the reply was that he'd seen a grey haired man carrying a board and what looked like a fold away chair from where the board had been and then walked towards the Salterns Car Park. I walked the length of the car park but didn't find anyone fitting the description or carrying my board
Presuming it might be handed in I notified the coastguard to avoid a search being started. I have since contacted the local police and reported it as "lost" but if it doesn't show up in a couple of days I will report it as "stolen".

Greenpeace projects a message urging biodiversity protection at Nagoya Castle in the host city to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, taking place from 18-29 October 2010
Ancient forests are being wiped out, oceans are plundered to the point of no return, agricultural biodiversity is in meltdown from modern industrial farming, and the impacts of climate change are causing irreversible damage to our planet and threaten food security for millions of people. The results of the 3rd Global Biodiversity Outlook confirmed that we have reached crucial tipping points for a number of ecosystems- such as coral reefs and forests. Unless strong action is taken, many ecosystems will no longer be able to sustain life and provide for the needs of present and future generations. It is clear that there is NO MORE time for empty words.

If you're a fan of "Community," unless you have Changnesia, you'll remember that Thursday's season capper also could be the series finale. If you don't know what Changnesia is, tune in anyway (especially if you're a member of the Nielsen Family).
Fans and producers of the NBC quirk fest are teaming on an online drive to get viewers to watch "Community" live on TV Thursday in a bid to save the show. The movement marks a fitting potential ending – or hopefully new beginning – for an innovative sitcom that's still fighting to find a mass audience four seasons in.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The oddball show's fate has proven as tenuous as the lives of the assorted (almost) lovable losers linked by their enrollment at Greendale Community College. It's less an educational institution than an at times surreal refuge from reality – a place where you can bounce away worries on an secret, serene trampoline, hide in an elaborate blanket fort, wage paintball wars and turn into zombies.
Greendale also is unlike any other place on TV, giving "Community" both its charm and challenge. The show, even through a couple hiatuses, has drawn a modest, but devoted following – including many latter-day fans who found "Community" online or through Netflix.
The Internet-friendly program – whose off-TV life includes webisodes – faces a rating test in a DVR- and online-driven on-demand age. That's not lost on fans – one of whom, as The Huffington Post notes, started the watch-it-live campaign with a YouTube video. The show's producers at Sony picked up on the effort, publishing Twitter hashtags – #RenewCommunity and #WatchCommunityLive – and promoting the video.
Time is running out for a show that's become obsessed with alternate timelines and the power of destiny. The most recent episode, perhaps the season's strongest, focused on the characters' origin story, telling how they were drawn to Greendale and one another through fate.
The installment offered a victory of sorts for Abed, the pop-culture obsessive who processes emotions through his TV-and-movie-tinted lens. He convinced his pals they belong together – and hopefully helped convince viewers that "Community" belongs on TV for at least another season (even if Thursday's episode is ominously titled, "An Advanced Introduction to Finality").
"Community" excels when tweaking entertainment conventions – this season's puppet and "Freaky Friday" episodes mark two recent examples – while celebrating them. We're hoping the show can upend the TV cliché that cult favorites always get cancelled before their time.
Check out the fan video urging viewers to "Keep it Alive!" by tuning in Thursday at 8 p.m. Whether or not you have Changnesia, "Community" is an unforgettable experience.
