After beating the eighth gym leader Clair in Pokemon SoulSilver, the player must first enter the shrine of the Dragon's Den to obtain the Dragon's Fang and pass the test of the Master of the Dragon Clan. Unlike the previous gym leaders, Claire will initially refuse to admit defeat and the player can only earn the eighth and final badge after completing the quest for Claire.
The following shows how to complete the quest after beating the eighth gym leader in Pokemon SoulSilver.
Step 1: Cross the Whirlpool
Proceed to the back of the gym to the dock and surf to the left of the dock. The player must get to the giant whirlpool and then cross the whirlpool.
Step 2: Retrieve the Dragon Fang
Surf to the shore on the lower right corner and retrieve the Dragon Fang on a ledge to the north.
Step 3: Pass the Dragon Master Test
Surf to the shrine and pass the test of the Dragon Master.

I am working on a new logo for this site right now, which of course means that at some point I need to work on a custom layout as well. I am not done with it yet but while I was playing around in my favorite image creation program (Paint.Net in case you were wondering) I created a substantially cool looking outline of some Green Glasses on a black background by accident.
I thought to myself, "Man that would make for a cool desktop wallpaper!" So, I made it into one. It is only 1680x1050 because that is the resolution of my monitor however if you would like to represent Green Glasses in your own computer world feel free to click the thumbnail below to obtain the full size image.

How to Fly, by Rachael Perry
How to Fly, by Rachael Perry
Inventive stories are almost a force of nature in "How to Fly," a lyrical and off-beat exploration of what is extraordinary in the every day. Anything is possible when normal people, in the course of living their lives, stumble into tough choices grudgingly, trudgingly, like a long walk through unplowed Michigan snow.
In "Hawk," a lonely carpenter on his way to work spots an enormous bird that slams against his van and drops the snake it was clutching into his lap. Soon, the story spreads across his tiny town, and changes, and expands: his neighbors snatch pencils he has used to write love letters, his license-plate numbers to play the lottery. From him, now, they expect stories and miracles.
In "Elysia By Light of Snow Lantern," an ice sculptor returns to a tourist city with the first snow, just as she does every year, but this time suffers such profound heartbreak that both she and winter decide to stay.
In "When Lake Michigan Leaves," an outsider to a small community falls in love with a lake everyone else takes for granted - she sleeps on its beaches, covers herself in birch leaves and driftwood, shares silent toasts and bottles of wine with it - but, over time, feels it drift away like an uninterested lover: a drop at first, and then gallons and waves.
In "Sullivan's Inventory," a quiet man content to stock shelves at the local grocery shocks his colleagues when he disappears one day with a customer who buys beautiful, unexpected things.
In "Nests," a woman desperate to flee from her home and all its memories decides instead to help the endangered warblers that come and go each year but don't realize their nests are being invaded by more aggressive birds. In return, she thinks, the least they can do is teach her how to fly.
Award-winning author Bonnie Jo Campbell says, "Perry's fictional worlds have a beauty that is both innocent and ancient." "How to Fly" is the debut collection of an honest voice, American stories that explore how dreams soar and plummet, spin, twist and dive, and how some may never get off the ground.
"Here is the debut of a writer with perfect vision, luminous and lasting." -- Wendell Mayo, author of
"Perry's brave stories move gently through a mythic, transcendental Michigan ... A wonderful, whimsical collection." -- Anthony Doerr, author of
"This rainbow of stories will dazzle you." -- Bonnie Jo Campbell
Rachael Perry, a native of Michigan, finished her first collection of stories, How to Fly, while working at a library in Düsseldorf, Germany. Her stories are greatly influenced by her experiences in small Midwestern towns, where everybody knows somebody who knows somebody, and the natural splendor of all four seasons and freshwater lakes shapes character like the glaciers once shaped this land.

Love that podium and the pictures:)ReplyDelete
I sure don't disagree with your qualifications.
You're right, this podium where you could "be the president" is a cool idea. You all look right at home behind the podium, nice photos.ReplyDelete
Wishing you a wonderful week!
All three of you would be a better president than Trump!ReplyDelete
Love this idea!ReplyDelete
What a great idea!ReplyDelete
Love that podium!
Love the pictures!
All the best Jan
PS Happy July!
I remember one of those at the Ronald Reagan Library (in California) - it even had a teleprompter you could try reading from.ReplyDelete
Such a great idea! You'd all be MUCH better presidents.ReplyDelete
Agree with comments above - anyone would be an improvement on MUSSO TURNIP TOP and his DRONGO lot of Cabinet Secretaries.ReplyDelete
Ugh run for president!ReplyDelete
Cute photos. No way would I want that job. However, working in the White House would be pretty cool though.ReplyDelete
Love your comment on my blog.ReplyDelete
My vote goes to Daisy :)ReplyDelete
OK, now Daisy has a face I would trust!ReplyDelete
I have no doubt you'd make a better president than Trump, but you look somewhat shy of the constitutional age requirement of 35.ReplyDelete
I like your Nixon pose, Adam; I knew immediately who it was! I'm sure you'd make a far better president than the MM. Daisy has such a gorgeous, beaming smile.ReplyDelete
That's cool!ReplyDelete

I ACTUALLY Woke Up Like This and I Reject the Concept of Flaws
Originally posted on Twenty-Three
Here's what I woke up thinking about this morning:
"Weakness" is a synonym for "flaw." Today my face is broken out on my forehead and chin and I have dark circles under my eyes. Are these "flaws" signs of "weakness"? Am I weak for working as hard as possible these last few weeks leading up to my graduation from university? Is my body weak from trying to deal with the way I've been treating it - not enough sleep, eating processed food since I'm so busy I haven't had time to go grocery shopping?
My body is doing exactly what it's supposed to - my body is releasing toxins in the form of acne, my body is miraculously healing itself from the destruction my lifestyle is causing it.
Why is it that our society has turned acne into a terrible and disgusting thing? Acne is incredible. It's necessary. And yet when someone gets a pimple, they cover it up with a skin-colored paint that only suppresses the toxins the body is trying to release and interferes with the healing process. I am guilty of often doing this myself.
But even worse, we are covering up the real problem - the way we judge ourselves and others for our bodies working perfectly. Instead of critiquing our bodies, we should be critiquing our lifestyles. If I don't wear makeup and leave these black circles under my eyes exposed, when my professors notice my appearance and comment with "woah are you okay? You look really sick," we should be thinking critically about this overworked lifestyle that has been forced upon me, and the chemical-filled "food" that is being sold to me and put in my body, and see my acne and under-eye circles as a sign that the way we live needs to change. I don't need to change. Nothing is "wrong" with the way my body is reacting to sleepless nights and a lack of green vegetables.
The concept of "flaws" insists that there is one way my body should be and any other way is a problem. "Embracing your flaws" only gets you so far. It's a start, but it's not the solution. Just the notion of being "flawless" suggests that it is still possible for there to be something wrong with you. But nothing is wrong with you!! Don't you see? These dichotomies are tearing us apart within ourselves. Flawed, flawless. Thin, fat. Straight, gay. Black, white. Able, disabled. Man, woman. These things do not exist!!! We are perfect human beings. We are divine souls with the amazing opportunity to experience life in the physical form. Why do we condemn ourselves so often when we are perfectly, miraculously, beautifully divine?
Wake up to the spirit within you and Be Yourself To the Fullest. Be-you-ti-full. Embrace the divine within and focus on who you are, not what you look like. Focus on action and existence, not looks and appearance. When you are fully yourself from within, your lifestyle will reflect that. And as a result, your body will react by being completely and entirely beautiful.
It is unfortunate that I cannot currently live in a way that allows my body to experience optimal health, but with graduation around the corner, I will be able to make my health a priority. Until then, I choose to be happy and grateful for the amazing body I have been given, and that it is capable of withstanding the disillusioned state our society is currently experiencing.
Much Love,
Brenna Paxton

WEEKEND PIC - May 29 - 31, 2009
a) TERMINATOR SALVATION (sci-fi thriller with Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin, Bryce Dallas Howard, Moon Bloodgood and Common) Rated * * * (3stars): This mix of Transformers and Mad Max will please action fans but Terminator dudes may feel shortchanged, especially when it comes to the plot about John Connor. (Reviewed below)
b) MONSTERS Vs ALIENS (animated thriller with voices of Reese Witherspoon, Will Arnett, Paul Rudd, Seth Rogen, Hugh Laurie, Rainn Wilson, Kiefer Sutherland, and Stephen Colbert) Rated * * * (3 stars): It's action-packed fun for the family even if it does not quite match up to The Incredibles and WALL-E. (Reviewed below)
1. STAR TREK (sci-fi adventure with Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, John Cho, Ben Cross, Bruce Greenwood, Simon Pegg, and Zoë Saldana) Rated * * * 1/2 (3.5 stars out of 4): It's a new beginning for Start Trek franchise - just like it was for Batman Begins - and a must for every Trekkie and sci-fi fan. (Reviewed below)
2. ANGELS & DEMONS (mystery thriller with Tom Hanks, Ewan McGregor, Ayelet Zurer, Stellan Skarsgard, Pierfrancesco Favino, Nikolaj Lie Kaas and Armin Mueller-Stahl) Rated: * * * (3 out of 4 stars): Director Ron Howard has learned from his mistakes in The Da Vinci Code and has made a much better 'sequel'. He has also made a few changes from Dan Brown's book, resulting in a tighter movie. (Reviewed below)
3. NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2 (fantasy comedy with Ben Stiller, Amy Adams, Robin Williams, Hank Azaria, Luke Wilson, Jonah Hill and Christopher Guest) Rated * * 1/2 (2.5 stars out of 4): We get more of the same CGI stuff in this sequel that has the action shifted to the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC. The plot and the dialogue are pedestrian and lame. (Reviewed below)
4. MONGOL (historical adventure with Tadanobu Asano, Sun Hong-lei, Khulan Chuluun and Aliya) Rating * * * (3 stars): An old-fashioned historical epic about the early life of Temudjin (Genghiz Khan) with fantastic scenery and realistic action. (Reviewed below)
5. I CORRUPT ALL COPS (cop drama with Eason Chan, Wong Jing, Tony Leung Ka-Fai (pic), Anthony Wong, Alex Fong, Bowie Lam, Wong Jing, Liu Yang and Kate Tsui) Rated * * 1/2 (2.5 stars): Titled with the acronym ICAC (HK's anti-corruption commission), many would regard this one as the most ambitious of Wong Jing's works. At last, Wong Jing has come out with an entertaining movie that does not insult our intelligence. (Reviewed below)
6. PUSH (sci-fi thriller with Chris Evans, Dakota Fanning, Camilla Belle, Djimon Hounsou, Joel Gretsch, Neil Jackson, Maggie Siff, Scott Michael Campbell, Colin Ford and Nate Mooney) Rated * * 1/2 (2.5 stars): Catch Evans and Fanning being chased by Govt goons all over Hong Kong if you can't get enough of Heroes and X-Men action. However, Push is rather mess and confusing, though. (Reviewed below)

Santlov is a Miami-based photographer and graphic artist, and the mastermind behind the viral ToysRLikeUs photography campaign. His seemingly realistic photographs consist of widely recognized, iconic toy characters finding themselves in the midst of relatable everyday-like human scenarios – a style that uniquely synchronizes fantasy with reality.
Most of the scenes that Santlov captures feature actual toys he grew up playing with and speak to society's dependence on technology, most notably smartphones, tablets and computers. The purpose of his photographs is to push the limits of "realism" as far as possible.
Many of the concepts Santlov creates are inspired by personal experiences and the trends that people follow and find themselves immersed in, one of them being the widespread usage of the photo-sharing app Instagram. In fact, it was on Instagram that Santlov's ToysRLikeUs campaign went viral. In less than one year's time, Santlov has cultivated a following that exceeds 300,000 people. Santlov continues to challenge himself as an artist. His commitment to sharing his unique creations means that this hungry, multi-talented contemporary artist is here to stay.

"You'd think I would have 5-10 therapists in my phone (or in 3 out of 5 spaces in my T-Mobile MyFaves™), since I'm a nutcase, but I eschew traditional therapy and prefer to self medicate with German pornography and dull razors." — God loves Lackner.

Arguing with Rick about who's comment system is more broken has left me so starved for intellectual discourse that I just left a 500 word comment on Artblog.net (#2) about whether or not pink is a color.

No, it's not that easy. I think they got these signs out of the Kinkos when they realized that. But the fact that they ever got produced is some sort of achievement . . .

When thinking of famous people associated with the word Python, many people's minds will immediately head to Monty Python: John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael What'sHisName, the Terry that writes music, the other Terry whose movies keep getting weirder if that's even possible, and the dead one that most Americans don't remember even though he was the star of Life of Brian. (Of course, that's what goes through most people's minds. We know that these masters are named John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam, and Graham Chapman.)
While the Python coding language was named after these comedians, that was more than 25 years ago. Today, for those who have learned to code, there is one big Python out there that you need to know about: Guido.
Guido van Rossum
Guido is the author of Python. If you've ever wondered "how can someone create a new coding language that ends up getting used by millions of people?" just ask him. He's also the Monty Python fan who named it Python and started the tradition of hiding obscure Python references in the code.
van Rossum was born in the Netherlands and earned a master's degree in computer science. After he worked on ABC (another coding language), he was bored one Christmas break and started Python in December of 1989. His intention the entire time was to a language that was easy to learn and as close to English as possible. It was also his intention that the code remain open source so that it could work for the betterment of mankind.
Moving Python Forward
Guido van Rossum was employed by Google from 2005 until 2012, working on the continued development of Python. You might wonder what's to be done on a coding language after it's released into the wild, especially if it's open source. Well, there's always room for improvement. Before his time with Google, Python 2.0 was released in 2000, and while at Google Python 3.0 was released in 2008. While Python 3 is powerful, a large amount of existing code is not compatible with 3, so many coders work with versions of 2.
When no one owns a language, it can be hard to say who gets the final say when big decisions have to be made. That's where Benevolent Dictators For Life, or BDFLs, come in. These are the go-to programmers who can help communities make the right decisions about the future of the language. Guido is BDFL of Python, having authored the language and seen it through two major updates and countless minor ones. Considering that Guido van Rossum's creation was always intended to be open source and free for everyone, we're big fans of the BDFL!
Learning to code Python is one of the best decisions you can make, and our coding bootcamps in Denver can make it happen. In fact, it can happen very quickly, because our coding school starts everything up again in just a couple of weeks...February 21, to be exact! Follow in the footsteps of the best and learn to code Python!

Italian Popular Tales
by Thomas Crane
Italian Popular Tales List of Stories
SurLaLune Fairy Tales Main Page
THERE was once a king and queen who had no son, and they were always making vows to obtain one; and they promised that if they had a son, or even a daughter, they would maintain two fountains for seven years: one running wine, the other oil. After this vow the queen gave birth to a handsome boy.
As soon as the child was born, the two fountains were erected, and everybody went and took oil and wine. At the end of seven years the fountains began to dry up. An ogress, wishing to collect the drops that still fell from the fountain, went there with a sponge and pitcher. She sopped up the drops with the sponge and then squeezed it in the pitcher. After she had worked so hard to fill this pitcher, the little son of the king, who was playing ball, from caprice threw a ball and broke the pitcher. When the old woman saw this, she said: "Listen. I can do nothing to you, for you are the king's son; but I can bestow upon you an imprecation: May you be unable to marry until you find Snow-white-fire-red!" The cunning child took a piece of paper and wrote down the old woman's words, put it away in a drawer, and said nothing about it. When he was eighteen the king and queen wished him to marry. Then he remembered the old woman's imprecation, took the piece of paper, and said: "Ah! If I do not find Snow-white-fire-red I cannot marry!" When it seemed fit, he took leave of his father and mother, and began his journey entirely alone. Months passed without meeting any one. One evening, night overtook him, tired and discouraged, in a plain in the midst of which was a large house.
At daybreak he saw an ogress coming, frightfully tall and stout, who cried: "Snow-white-fire-red, lower your tresses for me to climb up!" When the prince heard this he took heart, and said: "There she is!" Snow-white-fire-red lowered her tresses, which seemed never to end, and the ogress climbed up by them. The next day the ogress descended, and when the prince saw her depart, he came from under the tree where he had concealed himself, and cried: "Snow-white-fire-red, lower your tresses for me to climb up!" She, believing it was her mother (for she called the ogress mother), lowered her tresses, and the prince climbed boldly up. When he was up, he said: "Ah! My dear little sister, how I have labored to find you!" And he told her of the old woman's imprecation when he was seven years old.
She gave him some refreshments, and then said: "You see, if the ogress returns and finds you here, she will devour you. Hide yourself." The ogress returned, and the prince concealed himself.
After the ogress had eaten, her daughter gave her wine to drink, and made her drunk. Then she said: "My mother, what must I do to get away from here? Not that I want to go, for I wish to stay with you; but I want to know just out of curiosity. Tell me!" "What you must do to get away from here!" said the ogress. "You must enchant everything that there is here, so that I shall lose time. I shall call, and instead of you, the chair, the cupboard, the chest of drawers, will answer for you. When you do not appear, I will ascend. You must take the seven balls of yarn that I have laid away. When I come and do not find you, I shall pursue you; when you see yourself pursued, throw down the first ball, and then the others. I shall always overtake you until you throw down the last ball."
Her daughter heard all that she said, and remembered it. The next day the ogress went out, and Snow-white-fire-red and the prince did what they had to do. They went about the whole house, saying: "Table, you answer if my mother comes; chairs, answer if my mother comes; chest of drawers, answer if my mother comes;" and so she enchanted the whole house. Then she and the prince departed in such a hurry that they seemed to fly. When the ogress returned, she called: "Snow-white-fire- red, let down your tresses that I may climb up!" The table answered: "Come, come, mother!" She waited a while, and when no one appeared to draw her up, she called again: "Snow-white-fire-red, lower your tresses for me to climb up!" The chair answered: "Come, come, mother!" She waited a while, but no one appeared; then she called again, and the chest of drawers replied: "Come, come, mother!" Meanwhile the lovers were fleeing. When there was nothing left to answer, the ogress cried out: "Treason! Treason!" Then she got a ladder and climbed up. When she saw that her daughter and the balls of yarn were gone, she cried: "Ah, wretch! I will drink your blood!" Then she hastened after the fugitives, following their scent. They saw her afar off, and when she saw them, she cried: "Snow-white-fire-red, turn around so that I can see you." (If she had turned around she would have been enchanted.)
When the ogress had nearly overtaken them, Snow-white-fire-red threw down the first ball, and suddenly there arose a lofty mountain. The ogress was not disturbed; she climbed and climbed until she almost over took the two again. Then Snow-white-fire-red, seeing her near at hand, threw down the second ball, and there suddenly appeared a plain covered with razors and knives. The ogress, all cut and torn, followed after the lovers, dripping with blood.
When Snow-white-fire-red saw her near again, she threw down the third ball, and there arose a terrible river. The ogress threw herself into the river and continued her pursuit, although she was half dead. Then another ball, and there appeared a fountain of vipers, and many other things. At last, dying and worn out, the ogress stopped and cursed Snow- white-fire-red, saying: "The first kiss that the queen gives her son, may the prince forget you!" Then the ogress could stand it no longer, and died in great anguish.
The lovers continued their journey, and came to a town near where the prince lived. He said to Snow-white-fire-red: "You remain here, for you are not provided with proper clothes, and I will go and get what you need, and then you can appear before my father and mother." She consented, and remained.
When the queen beheld her son, she threw herself on him to kiss him. "Mother," said he, "I have made a vow not to allow myself to be kissed." The poor mother was petrified. At night, while he was asleep, his mother, who was dying to kiss him, went and did so. From that moment he forgot all about Snow-white-fire-red.
Let us leave the prince with his mother, and return to the poor girl, who was left in the street without knowing where she was. An old woman met her, and saw the poor girl, as beautiful as the sun, weeping. "What is the matter, my daughter?" "I do not know how I came here!" "My daughter, do not despair; come with me." And she took her to her house. The young girl was deft with her hands, and could work enchantment. She made things, and the old woman sold them, and so they both lived. One day the maiden said to the old woman that she wanted two bits of old cloth from the palace for some work she had to do. The old woman went to the palace, and began to ask for the bits, and said so much that at last she obtained them. Now the old woman had two doves, a male and a female, and with these bits of cloth Snow-white-fire-red dressed the doves so prettily that all who saw them marveled. The young girl took these doves, and whispered in their ears: "You are the prince, and you are Snow-white-fire-red. The king is at the table, eating; fly and relate all that you have undergone."
While the king, queen, prince, and many others were at the table, the beautiful doves flew in and alighted on the table. "How beautiful you are!" And all were greatly pleased. Then the dove which represented Snow-white-fire-red began: "Do you remember when you were young how your father promised a fountain of oil and one of wine for your birth?" The other dove answered: "Yes, I remember." "Do you remember the old woman whose pitcher of oil you broke? Do you remember?" "Yes, I remember." "Do you remember the imprecation she pronounced on you,-that you could not marry until you found Snow-white-fire-red?" "I remember," replied the other dove. In short, the first dove recalled all that had passed, and finally said: "Do you remember how you had the ogress at your heels, and how she cursed you, saying that at your mother's first kiss you must forget Snow-white-fire-red?" When the dove came to the kiss, the prince remembered everything, and the king and queen were astounded at hearing the doves speak.
When they had ended their discourse, the doves made a low bow and flew away. The prince cried: "Ho, there! Ho, there! See where those doves go! See where they go!" The servants looked and saw the doves alight on a country house. The prince hastened and entered it, and found Snow- white-fire-red. When he saw her he threw his arms about her neck, exclaiming: "Ah! My sister, how much you have suffered for me!" Straightway they dressed her beautifully and conducted her to the palace. When the queen saw her there, she said: "What a beauty!" Things were soon settled and the lovers were married.

With the process of packing for an impending move I am forced to reckon with the physical and psychological weight of my possessions. I realize that this weight is with me all of the time, even when I'm away from the actual stuff. There has to be a way to reduce this weight to allow ourselves to be more agile and feel freer. Ownership and possession are not simply a one way street, they require maintenance and protection, and I am realizing that I don't keep that in my consciousness when acquiring things. This podcast is just a bit of a conversation with myself about that and trying to work out some solutions.
At the end there is some cool news about upcoming stuff and some announcements about exciting things happening in my career as a musician. This is a pretty short episode as I have to actually pack my computer and microphone directly after recording. Catch you soon from my new digs.

Most observers think there's no chance Mitch McConnell will lose to Tea Party primary challenger Matt Bevin. But McConnell is now taking truly withering fire from the right — as one account puts it, it's his "bring-it-on moment." And it offers an interesting glimpse into an amusing 2014 subplot: The ongoing efforts by GOP leaders to wrestle to the ground the monster they spent years creating.
McConnell voted to break Ted Cruz's debt limit filibuster, helping avert a crisis that could have badly damaged the GOP for 2014. Now the Courier-Journal of Kentucky reports that this has become a major issue in the primary. Bevin is ripping McConnell as "spineless" and "a Democrat in disguise as a Republican," while Cruz pointedly notes that whether McConnell remains Senate GOP leader "is ultimately a decision" for "the voters in Kentucky." Note the response from the McConnell camp:
Asked about the controversy, McConnell spokesman Robert Steuer said that the Senator "has consistently said that raising the debt limit without corresponding cuts in spending is irresponsible, and that's why he and every Senate Republican were united in the final vote against the debt ceiling hike."
"Senator McConnell strongly believes that the president and Democrats in Congress are failing the country by refusing to fix Washington's underlying spending problem," Steuer added in an email. "But Sen. McConnell kept his promise to Kentuckians that he would not risk another government shutdown or default."
In other words, Camp McConnell is defending his conservative bona fides by citing his final vote to allow default as a responsible way of controlling spending, while simultaneously citing his vote to break the GOP filibuster of the debt ceiling hike as a responsible move to prevent default from unleashing economic disaster.
Legislators regularly use procedural tricks to work around difficult political dilemmas. But this comical level of contortion is what you need to resort to when dealing with a base that has been misled and had its expectations falsely inflated for literally years. GOP leaders have worked diligently to create an alternate reality in which the Next Big Confrontation With Obama is perpetually the one that will finally produce a glorious, epic victory over out-of-control Obummer-Job-Crushing-Big-Gummit, whether it's the health law or federal spending.
In this alternate reality, those things remain the single greatest threats to the country's future — even though Obamacare is based on Republican ideas for patching up the safety net, and Republicans have largely won the battle over austerity, with the deficit as a share of GDP continuing to fall. In this alternate reality, anything that doesn't produce that desired glorious, epic victory over Obama's slow motion destruction of the country is by definition abject surrender. Indeed, Republican leaders themselves repeatedly defined raising the debt limit — which requires no concessions from either side — as unilateral "surrender" by the GOP. So McConnell, who has done more to thwart Obama than anyone on the face of the planet, is under intense fire for failing to embrace tactics that would unleash widespread destruction in service of expectations that are completely unhinged from reality.
This could have real consequences for McConnell, too. He'll almost certainly prevail in the GOP primary, but Dems hope the battle will leave enough conservative voters so dispirited with McConnell's insufficient anti-Obama zeal that they'll stay home in November, leading to his defeat.
* GOP LEADERS FURIOUS WITH TED CRUZ: Related to the above: Byron York reports that Republican leaders are furious with Ted Cruz for leading them into confrontations that risk damaging the party with the middle of the country. Note this:
In the end, the gambit accomplished nothing for Senate Republicans. Some GOP lawmakers who already disliked Cruz now dislike him even more. But the episode did remind the Republican leadership, as if it needs any reminding, that there are conservatives around the country who are deeply frustrated by the GOP and want it to show some fight. To them, Cruz represents that fight. Maybe they've been misled. Maybe they're living in a fantasy land. But that's what they believe. Republican leaders have to keep them in mind as November approaches.
Exactly my point above. Reminder: if Republicans really want to prevent Cruz from continuing to damage the party, they can pass immigration reform now, and thwart his apparent desire to demagogue the issue endlessly for his own purposes in the GOP presidential primary.
* NOT ALL OBAMACARE ENROLLEES PAYING THEIR PREMIUMS: The New York Times does some good work here, calling up insurers and finding out that roughly 20 percent of those who signed up for Obamacare have not paid their premiums. That means, of course, that 80 percent have paid them.
Foes of the law have widely claimed — correctly — that enrollment numbers don't tell the whole story, because they don't tell us who's paid. They will seize on these numbers as proof the law is falling short. But as always, what matters is how it develops over time, and the new findings just aren't that significant (see the next item).
* LARRY LEVITT ON THE LATEST OBAMACARE STORY: Larry Levitt of the Kaiser Family Foundation emails me this about the above Times story reporting that 20 percent of Obamacare enrollees have not paid premiums:
This puts a number on what was already known, that the actual count of people who end up getting insured by exchange plans is somewhat lower than the reported figure of how many have picked a plan. I don't think it changes anything about how the law is working, both the things going well and the challenges ahead. There's really no material difference whether total enrollment ends up being seven million, six million, or 5.8 million this year. A key aim next year and beyond will be to ramp it up, as was always expected.
* DEMS TALK UP DISCHARGE PETITIONS: Democrats seem to be getting a bit more serious about employing discharge petitions to try to force votes in the House on both the minimum wage hike and immigration reform. These efforts are unlikely to work, because even those House Republicans who claim to be supportive of action on those fronts simply won't sign them.
The bigger story here is that, despite their cave on the debt limit, House Republicans continue to block votes on things that very well might garner majority support in both Houses of Congress, leaving Dems no choice but to continue trying to chip away at the blockade.
* THE LATEST FROM FLORIDA'S SPECIAL ELECTION: The Dem-aligned House Majority PAC is out with a new ad hitting David Jolly, the GOP candidate in the special election in Florida's 13th district, for his lobbying for a client who has expressed support for privatizing Social Security. The spot is a reminder that Dems will respond to attacks on Obamacare — which Dem Alex Sink stands behind — by broadening the argument to include other entitlements where Republicans are traditionally vulnerable.
Reminder: whatever the outcome here, ignore those who claim it's a harbinger of the political climate in next fall's elections.
* OBAMACARE AND 'THE DIGNITY OF WORK': Paul Krugman pushes back hard on conservative claims about the CBO report, which Paul Ryan and others have cited as proof Obamacare disincentivizes and reduces the "dignity" of work. Krugman responds that given today's massive income inequality, the real way to boost people's dignity and independence is to strengthen the safety net and enhance employment flexibility:
The truth is that if you really care about the dignity and freedom of American workers, you should favor more, not fewer, entitlements, a stronger, not weaker, social safety net. And you should, in particular, support and celebrate health reform. Never mind all those claims that Obamacare is slavery; the reality is that the Affordable Care Act will empower millions of Americans, giving them exactly the kind of dignity and freedom politicians only pretend to love.
Also see health reformer Jonathan Gruber's deep dive into what the CBO report really tells us about the policy goal of breaking the link between work and insurance: it helps level the playing field.
* AND THE READ OF THE DAY, GOP POST-POLICY EDITION: Don't miss Michael McAuliff's great piece on how Republicans opposed a pay-for Dems proposed to extend unemployment insurance, before turning around and supporting that pay-for in a proposal to help people retire early from the military. This again suggests the insistence on paying for UI was just about masking the GOP's real, less politically palatable reasons for opposing it.

You definitely know how essential a decent FICO rating is to getting endorsed for advances and securing the best loan fees accessible on them. Yet, there are different motivations to repair credit beside low loan costs – like the effect it has on your home protection premiums. Yes, in spite of what you may have heard somewhere else, your FICO assessment directly affects the amount you pay for mortgage holder's protection. For example, as indicated by PropertyCasualty360:
– Homeowners with terrible credit pay up to 91 percent more in home protection premiums than those with magnificent credit.
– Homeowners with normal or great credit pay very nearly 30 percent more than those with magnificent credit.
– The FICO score is utilized by around 85 percent of the country's home protection suppliers in deciding danger.
– West Virginia, Washington D.C., Ohio and Virginia are the place there's the greatest disparity between premium expenses for those with poor versus brilliant credit.
– California, Massachusetts and Maryland are the three expresses that restrict safety net providers from measuring FICO ratings into home protection premiums.
Presently there are a great deal of elements that additionally decide a protection premium (I.e. age of the home, vicinity to water, wrongdoing rates, and so on.), yet it's not outlandish to surmise that somebody with brilliant credit could spare several dollars for each year contrasted with somebody with poor credit with regards to home protection. Say for instance that a property holder with superb credit pays $1,000 a year for home protection. That same property holder with poor credit may pay $1,910 every year – a whooping $910 all the more on account of their FICO assessment.
So exactly why is your financial assessment measured so remarkably when you're looking for home protection? This is on account of leasers have found that the financial assessment is an incredible indicator of hazard. Along these lines, it's inferred that those with poor credit will probably document a claim than those with brilliant or great credit. It doesn't make a difference whether it's reasonable or not – your financial assessment is a major influencer on your protection arrangements.
So if your financial assessment is deficient with regards to, you're likely paying out the nose on your home protection too, making obligation administration and attempting to repair credit all the more imperative. Here are some credit tips on the most proficient method to build your score – and in this manner spare:
– Pay charges on time: This records for 35 percent of your FICO score, setting aside a few minutes installment key.
– Get funds all together: If you can pay down your obligation so that it's around 30 percent of your aggregate credit designation, you'll see your score rise.
– Check your credit: Get into a propensity for every so often checking your credit report and paying special mind to any blunders. Blunders are normal and can adversely affect your score, so in the event that you see any inconsistencies, contact that gathering and put some rumors to rest.
– Don't go insane: Don't feel that shutting a paid off record is the response to credit repair. As a rule, it won't. Why? Since when you close a record, you likewise lessen your aggregate credit assignment. On the other hand, opening new records to expand your allocation isn't an extraordinary credit repair arrangement either – particularly in the event that you run those sums up.

Now I don't think I'm alone when I think it's a great thing getting more ladies dressed up in vintage gear along to car shows. The pin up competition at Day of The Drags provided a soft and feminine contrast to the tough loud drag cars sauntering around the pits. Truth be told, the ladies also made a nice contrast to all the bearded hot rodders with tatts!
Luckily for us L'escargot Ivre was there taking some pics and shared these with us. If you like what you see, check out their facebook page for more pics.

Why I am a TEDster: Content, Community, Cause/
Three main reasons why I am a TEDster (a member of the TED community) are:
- Content
- Community
- Cause
Even though the content of the conference eventually makes its way online the live experience is much better. Experiencing them together with others really enhances the experience. There is a big feeling of excitement and community during the conference and you can immediately have discussions about what is presented including with the speakers themselves.
TEDsters are a great bunch of people to connect with. During the conference you can dive into a deep conversation with any other attendee or speaker without hesitation. "In real life" I find that I first have to gauge if the other person is interested, willing and able to dive into a deep discussion.
Great connections can be made. Socially, but sometimes for business as well of course. I've connected several TEDsters to other people in my network for various mutual benefits.
I've been looking for bigger causes to contribute to than local volunteering and ad-hoc contributions to organizations like the Red Cross. It can be difficult to find a charitable organization that you can identify with and that you can trust. TED, owned by the Sapling foundation, is such an organization for me.
The TED Prize, the TED Fellows program and the TED Talks online are examples of how TED supports good causes. A portion of the membership fees get directed to these causes and TEDsters are encouraged to help out in other ways if they can.
This year (2009) I've started to translate TED talks, pledged to mentor (a) TED Fellow(s), pledged to spread the message about SETI and helped a bit with the Charter for Compassion by doing a translation. Especially for the Charter for Compassion I hope to find more opportunities to contribute (as an atheist) and I'm always on the lookout for more.

Inspection is a tough brief. Just like a football referee, an Ofsted inspector will rarely please everyone: one minute you are being accused by politicians and the public of being too soft and failing to spot bad practice, while the next, those you regulate will be hopping up and down over a perceived injustice in judgment.
01 October 2013
Ofsted provokes outright hostility among many local authority folk.
On the face of it, the education select committee's call to split Ofsted into two separate inspectorates for education and children's care would represent a further step away from services centred on the needs of the whole child. It is a trend played out in several areas through the disappearance of children's trust arrangements and local authority children's services departments.

Fynnlan Seeley- 27 Weeks
Fynnlan is 27 weeks old today! We officially have a 6 month old on our hands!
He is trying sooo hard to crawl. He is constantly up on his knees rocking and scoots all over. Today we actually watched him push himself around the playroom by putting his hands on top of a blanket to slide and pushing with his feet! It was so funny to watch.
I forgot to mention last week that we dropped the dreamfeed officially. So it has been about two weeks now and he's doing just fine...sorta haha.
Since about the weekend, Fynn started waking up during the night or early morning again. I think it's because he is just practicing trying to crawl. Every time he wakes up, he is rocking on his knees and gets even more worked up and can't settle back to sleep easily like before. So we've just been pushing through and hoping things get back to normal soon. Last night he had a completely normal night of 12 hours sleep, so hopefully we're over the hump!
Fynn has tried avocado, zucchini, and sweet potato. His favorite has definitely been sweet potato! He is also drinking some water now. I've been surprised at how quickly he has learned to drink from a straw!
Also, here's Fynn's current schedule (it's verrrrry loose since we're not home every day haha)
8:00 feeding
9:15 nap
11:30 feeding
1:00 nap
3:00 feeding

A compound word is one formed by two or more words. Teamwork, sportsmanship, townhouse are all common examples. Not so common words include the following GRE vocabulary. See if you can figure out the meaning of each word before looking at definition. Oftentimes, the sound and feel of the word is very consistent with its definition (which should make it easier for you to learn the words).
You might not think a "quag" is even a thing, but it's actually an archaic word meaning swamp. Then there is "mire", which basically amounts to the same thing: lots of muddy ground underfoot. Put them together and you get quagmire: swamp land.
What's interesting about this word—and pertinent to the GRE—is the second definition: a troublesome situation that is hard to get out of. Former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld once went on the record saying that Iraq is a quagmire. Given that the United States is still embroiled in conflict there, Rumsfeld's choice of words was apt. One could go so far to say that the situation there is an 'Iraqmire'.
To coddle means to pamper or treat indulgently. A mother may coddle her child, indulging the child's every wish. Her name need not be Molly to mollycoddle. Mollycoddle is simply an extreme form of coddle. If a teacher mollycoddles her students, she lets them get away with not doing any of their work.
If someone tells you that this word describes somebody dressed in armor (or clad in armor, as it were), their reasoning is anything but ironclad. The word has nothing to do with one's get up — iron or otherwise. Rather, it describes logic that is impossible to disprove or contradiction. Ironclad arguments are ones that nobody could disagree. That world is round is one that leaps to mind (though you do always have the members of the "Flat Earth Society".)
"Shod" is the past participle of the verb "to shoe". If one is shod in leather slippers, one is wearing leather slippers. Speaking of "slip", when one has shoes that are too loose and dragging at the heels, that footwear is slipshod — or at least that's how the archaic definition had it. These days, slipshod describes anything that was created or constructed hastily, and carelessly. You probably wouldn't want to enter a building that had slipshod construction standards. Slipshod can also describe a person. One who is slipshod in vocab preparation will take little time to learn effective methods.
This is a great word, but one that probably wouldn't show up on the GRE. It does, however, allow me to talk about a very high frequency GRE word: obsequious. But first, I should probably mention what a "spittle" is. Saliva is the more commonly word for spittle, which today has been whittled down to "spit". As far as licking it goes, well if you lick up somebody's spit, you apparently kiss up to them in a very desperate manner.
So to be a lickspittle means to be pathetically obedient to those in a position of power. Think of privates in basic training doing everything the drill sergeant asks of them. Obsequious is an adjective that describes a lickspittle.

Resident: FSDB is committing 'neighborhood homicide'
A simmering, decade-long zoning dispute between the city and The Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind reached a low boil Monday night as residents of the historic Nelmar Terrace neighborhood strongly protested a proposed compromise agreement hammered out with the school.
Nelmar resident Melinda Rakoncy told the City Commission that if the school's attempts to achieve eminent domain power succeed, "that is war on the city of St. Augustine. It would strip the city forever of its ability to control its own growth."
Rakoncay explained that, with that power, FSDB could force the purchase of any piece of land in the city.
House bill 1037, filed by state Rep. Bill Proctor, R,St. Augustine, would not only give the school eminent domain power but make the school's zoning violations permanent after July 1.
Senate Bill 1348 was filed as a companion bill to Proctor's. Both would delete the present requirement that FSDB cooperate with local authorities in the restoration of school facilities.
On a motion by Vice Mayor Leanna Freeman, the commission voted 5-0 to approve a resolution opposing that legislation.
Proctor — who is term limited — did not attend Monday, but has said he wants FSDB to have eminent domain power before he leaves office.
Rakoncay said, "He's not representing his district or the city. He's representing the school."
St. Augustine activist Ed Slavin said Proctor has had a "close and intimate relationship" with FSDB as a board member and chairman of the board for years.
"This as a conflict of interest for him," Slavin said. "Let him be here under oath and not hiding in Tallahassee."
Former Nelmar neighborhood Lisa Lloyd said she loved the school and its mission, but added that its administrators have "used children's disabilities to hide their misbehavior. If you let those (zoning) violations go, why would anyone else in the city follow the law? It's frightening. Taking people's homes away form them is completely reprehensible."
FSDB officials have said several times that they have no plans to use eminent domain. They just want to be protected from gouging when they want to purchase a piece of land, they said.
But it's doubtful whether any member of the City Commission or any Nelmar Terrace resident believes that.
Multiple residents said they were "disappointed" at the terms of a mediated agreement worked out between the city and FSDB giving the school permanent control over a city alleyway. For that parcel, the public would get access to two strips of land — one along Nelmar Avenue and the other along the Intracoastal, though they would not have access to the water.
City Attorney Ron Brown laid out the city's choices:
■ If the mediation proposal is rejected, things stay as they are until new proposals can be worked out. If the eminent domain bills pass, however, the city has no recourse and the school has no incentive to negotiate.
■ If the mediation proposal is approved, the city at least gets something. So if the eminent domain bills pass, the mediation provisions remain in effect.
The major issues include the usage and fencing of the Collins House on Nelmar, the future use of the vacant eastern half of the Genoply Tract, the possession and use of an alley between Milton and Nelmar streets that has been public since 1912, and of course, eminent domain.
Brown said the mediation proposals are "the best we think we can do at this time. (If the bills pass), the Legislature will have the effect of legalizing what the school has done on that property."
One of the primary concerns the neighborhood has with the Collins House is reducing its eight-foot institutional security fence to six feet, he said.
Commissioner Nancy Sikes-Kline, who as one of the mediators spent 16 grueling hours working on the agreement, said she wasn't happy with the result.
"But it's here. We can modify it," she said, adding that she was not able to recommend the agreement. "I wanted to close this wound that has been festering for so many years. This was the best we could do."
Alfred Street resident Jessica Misterly said she was disappointed with the proposal, which she felt was "skewed toward FSDB. The city gets little or nothing."
Nelmar resident Jeanette Booth said FSDB is not governed by publicly elected officials and said she opposed the bills.
"We want to be good neighbors, but we want (FSDB) to follow the laws," Booth said.
James Register, of 15 Genoply St., the only resident on that street that hadn't sold to FSDB, said the school offered him $80,000 for his house, then $125,000 and then $140,000.
"I've lived here since 1967," he said. "(After eminent domain takes my house) what are you going to do with me? I'm waiting for someone to knock on my door and say, 'Mr. Register, congratulations! You're now part of the FSDB campus'"
James Carr called the school "an 800-pound gorilla, above the law, above reproach. They can do what they want."


text: We survived Portland's wild snowstorm! It was so much fun! When Justina and I arrived in Portland, the city was still grey with no signs of snow. I had no idea it was going to be such an event until the employees at Alamo car rental warned us a big one was coming in. They persuaded us to upgrade our car to a heavier one with more traction on the wheels. I was skeptical about the upgrade but Justina didn't want to chance it so we got a Camry Avalon instead of a cute Mini Cooper. As I drove out of Alamo's lot, I saw a small fluff of snow float by. And about 30 mins into the city, it started to come down. Neither of us have experience driving in the snow but I was totally chill about it. I thought whatever, we're boho, we can do anything! I'll just white knuckle through this if I have to. It wasn't scary at all. The streets were empty so it was easy to navigate around the city. It was great! I enjoy the cold weather so I was excited about everything. We were in Portland for three days where I photographed some beautiful homes and met up really sweet and talented creative creatures. I'll show a few behind the scenes tomorrow!
