THIS is big news, but it doesn't really surprise me:
Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.) announced his support for same-sex marriage Tuesday, becoming the second Republican senator to do so after his colleague Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio) embraced marriage equality last month.
"When I climbed the Capitol steps in January, I promised myself that I would return to the Senate with an open mind and greater respect for others," Kirk said in a statement posted to his blog.
"Same-sex couples should have the right to civil marriage," he continued. "Our time on this earth is limited, I know that better than ...

Scottish Terrier History
- Scottish terriers were used by highland farmers to catch vermin.
- The history of the Scottish terrier is confused by the use of the term Scotch terrier to refer to any terrier from Scotland. Even with the advent of dog shows, the different terriers were shown together as Scotch terriers.
- In 1881 the Scotch terriers were divided into Dandie Dinmont and Skye terriers, with the present-day Scottish terriers in the Skye terrier group. By the end of that year the Skye terrier group was subdivided into Skye and hard-haired terriers, with Scotties in the latter. Eventually the hard-haired terriers were again divided into three breeds, which would be come the Scottish, West Highland white and Cairn terriers.
- For a time the breed was called the Aberdeen terrier, because of its popularity in that region.
- The first documented Scotty came to America in 1883.
- President Franklin Roosevelt had a Scotty named Fala, and Fala was largely responsible for the breed's soaring popularity after World War II. Fala was Roosevelt's constant companion, and is buried at his side.
- Scotties were a favorite image in advertising and fashion for many years.
- The breed remains one of the more popular and recognizable terriers.
Scottish Terrier Behavior Concerns
- Makes a spirited and fun-loving companion.
- Playful and good with children.
- Fearless, clever, curious, and often mischievous.
- Fairly outgoing toward strangers.
- Feisty and sometimes argumentative around other dogs.
- May chase other household pets, but can learn to get along with cats. Rodents are a poor choice of housemate, however.
- Surprisingly sensitive.
- Independent and stubborn. Does best with reward-based training involving food or games.
- Learns quickly and is eager to please, but also bores quickly, and may come up with its own ideas.
- Many like to dig.
Scottish Terrier Suggested Exercises
- Makes a lively and alert housedog.
- Its exercise needs can be met with a long walk or short run, along with a vigorous game. They also need a chance to sniff and explore in a safe place or on leash.
- They tend to go off hunting and may not come when called.
- Some Scotties do well at dog parks, while others don't. It depends on the individual dog's feistiness.
- Games and tricks provide needed mental exercise.
Scottish Terrier Grooming
- Coat is harsh and straight.
- The coat needs combing once or twice weekly.
- Shaping of the coat by plucking out dead hairs every three months is required to keep it tidy looking. Professional clipping makes coat maintenance easier.
- Shedding is below averag
Suggested Scottish Terrier Nutritional Needs
- Scottish terriers tend to stay in good weight or be slightly overweight.
- Adult dogs should be fed a balanced diet, with restricted calories if the dog starts to gain too much weight.
Did you know?
- Grapes and raisins are harmful to dogs.
- Some dog parasites are transferable to humans.
- Many common pet ailments may be detected early and prevented by visiting your veterinarian twice yearly - saving both time, money, and most importantly, ensuring the best quality of life for your dog.

What's next for the Caps?
Some of the Caps fanbase on Twitter and other social media outlets seems a bit uneasy about the fact that the Caps have not yet made a big splash in the free agency market. While certain players may have made some sense (i.e. PA Parenteau), I'm in no way bothered by the Caps lack of activity thus far. I would rather the team save the cap space to address needs at a date later than July 1st than rashly fill a hole in a manner that will likely prove to be inadequate or with a contract that will become regrettable. That being said, there are holes on this roster that need to be fixed, most notably, a winger to replace Alex Semin on the second line.
The Caps filled a major hole on the roster by acquiring Mike Ribeiro from the Dallas Stars. However, with the impending departure of Semin via free agency, the Caps still have some work to do in terms of their top 2 lines. Given the lack of top-6 talent on the free agent market, the Caps may be best served to make a deal for a winger to play on one of the top two lines, which brings us to scenario one…
Trade for Bobby Ryan or a similar player.
This scenario was brought up recently over at Japers' Rink with the hypothetical package of Dmitri Orlov, Marcus Johansson and a 1st round pick going to Anaheim for Bobby Ryan. For a good debate on the value of that deal, head on over and read the comments section. For my purposes here, I'll assume the value makes sense for both teams. If this trade were to happen, or one for a player similar to Ryan, the Caps group of forwards would look like this:
Perreault-Backstrom/Ribeiro-Ryan( or similar player)
Is Perreault a top-6 winger? No. But could he be a serviceable option given the quality of the players on his line as well as the quality of the other lines? I would vote yes. The top two lines would have plenty of scoring and prove difficult to play against with physical players such as Ovechkin, Brouwer and a Ryan-type player. I see no question marks with the third and fourth lines listed above, they'd make Dale Hunter proud (and probably be his first and second lines).
However, we can play arm-chair GM all we want, but it doesn't magically make Bobby Ryan or a similar player available and/or affordable. So what if the Caps can't bring in a second-line winger? What if the contract or asking price for such a player is currently at a level that will do more harm than good for the Caps? This bring us to scenario 2…
Sign Jason Arnott
This comes with a disclaimer. Ultimately, the Caps need a to acquire a 2W, not Jason Arnott. Without acquiring a winger to play on the second line, the Caps are not legitimate Cup contenders. But what if nothing makes sense? Should the Caps stand pat? Depending on the what's available, possibly, but I hope it doesn't come to that. Instead, the Caps should put a band-aid on the situation and wait until a trade for a 2W opens up. A band-aid type fix would involve bringing in a player on a short-term, low-risk deal so as not to handcuff the team should a 2W becomes available. To me, the easiest way to do this is to sign a player to solidify the center spot on the third line to free up Brooks Laich to play wing on the second line. Of all of the available free agents, Jason Arnott strikes me as the player best suited to serve in this role. He'd likely be available on a one-year deal for a reasonable amount of money. The forward lines would then look like this:
I wouldn't have a lot of faith in this team contending for the Cup, but I don't think it'd be a disaster over the short term, either. The intention here is to put a band-aid on the 2W situation until a legitimate one hopefully becomes available via trade during the season. This is certainly not an ideal option, but it's better than signing Player X, who is questionably adequate to play as a 2W for the duration of his contract, to a deal that will be harmful to the team's cap management.
Regardless of what the Caps end up doing, I like the patient approach they have opted for thus far. Doing nothing to address glaring needs is generally a better approach than addressing those needs in an inadequate or fiscally irresponsible manner. That being said, signing a player such as Arnott makes sense for the short-term. The would allow Laich to fill-in as a 2W while also not handcuffing the team financially when/if a 2W becomes available.

Skip to comments.Bloombergs Public Housing Fingerprinting Idea Stuns, Infuriates Residents
Posted on 08/16/2013 6:58:14 PM PDT by SkyPilot
Mayor Michael Bloombergs latest crime-fighting idea had a lot of people riled up on Friday.
The mayor wants to fingerprint more than 600,000 people who live in public housing. He said it would be done to make the projects safer.
Bloomberg was responding to questions about Federal Judge Shira Schendlins ruling on the stop-and-frisk program when the topic shifted to security and the New York City Housing Authority. Bloomberg said there has to be a way to make the projects safer.
Five percent of our population lives in NYCHA housing, 20 percent of the crime is in NYCHA housing numbers like that. And weve just got to find some way to keep bringing crime down there. And we have a whole group of police officers assigned to NYCHA housing, Bloomberg said. The people that live there, most of them, want more police protection. They want more people. If you have strangers walking in the halls of your apartment building, dont you want somebody to stop and say, Who are you, why are you here?
But residents who live within the confines of NYCHA buildings said the mayors fingerprinting idea goes too far.
Thats like invading someones privacy or something. Why you want to fingerprint somebody? It is bad enough you get arrested, you get finger printed, so why you want to fingerprint us? Now Bloomberg needs to get a job. Get out of here already. Hes done. Bloomberg is done, Chelsea Houses resident Nino Alayon said.
Why? For what? We live here all these years, I mean, what seems to be the problem? This is not jail, added Deborah Gatling of the Chelsea Houses.
I dont feel that thats right. Fingerprinted for what? resident Alberta Hale added.
(Excerpt) Read more at newyork.cbslocal.com ...
"Something tells me that most of them are fingerprinted already."
Oh heck...just go ahead and put a micro-chip in every New Yorker.
It's "for the children"
Put me in charge of food stamps. Food Stamp ATM cards could only be used for food without the ability to get cash. No money for junk food, alcohol, tobacco, or sodas - just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza, alcohol or tobacco, then get a job.
Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your "home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV, Xbox 360 or a cell phone, then get a job and your own place.
In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a "government" job. It might be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing or whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims, low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and use that $$ to reduce the debt.
Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money youhave to accept our rules. Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin "self-esteem," consider that it wasn't all that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self-esteem.
If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make those bad choices.
AND while you are on Govt subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct, since voting would be a conflict of interest. You will abstain from voting while you are receiving a Govt welfare check. If you want to vote, then GET A JOB.
Bloomberg is a blooming fascist. Please tell him to get out of Colorado
AND have random, monthly drug tests for every recipient of government money. Those who test positive would have their government money revoked for eight months.
Great post from the web site. Reminds me of the rarely quoted verse, "if a man will not work, he shall not eat."
Bloomberg is a blooming fascist. Please tell him to get out of Colorado
Cuba or North Korea?
Mr Bloomberg is quite the controller. New Yorkers must love him.
In Cuba or North Korea, if you don't work, you don't have a place to live, you don't eat, and so on. Public housing residents in NYC get free digs without having to work for it, unless having a pulse is considered working.
Actually, he is fairly conservative in the traditional sense of the word, which eschews laissez faire and libertinism in favor of societal curbs on errant individual behavior. Fascism requires that a people be united via bonds of blood and soil. That's a physical impossibility in multi-racial and -ethnic New York City. Ultimately, he's clamping down on black and Hispanic criminals in NYC while couching it in ethnically neutral terms.
Good idea, but ACLU will jump on this issue in favor of the criminal elements that inhabit public housing projects.
"AND while you are on Govt subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct, since voting would be a conflict of interest. You will abstain from voting while you are receiving a Govt welfare check. If you want to vote, then GET A JOB."
If they want government assistance, they will also have to get a voter ID card.
That will explode the heads on the left.
If govt. can require such intrusions for welfare, they can require them for govt.-funded retirement programs as well.
Fixed it for you, Rudybot. ;)
Been tried in two states -- the welfare recipients had lower positives than the general population. And the tests cost more than the savings. Program dropped.
600,000 people in NYC are living in public housing ???
How is this sustainable??
And they are damn skippy correct...except for one part (IMHO): violation of 'Rights'. It is not the gov't $$, it is the TAXPAYER $$. That 'charity' comes from the end of a gun. Don't like the new rules, tough sh!te.
LOVE the barracks idea. Good enough for your (wo)men, good enough for the brood mares and the like. BARE minimum and 'free' cleaning of parks, streets, rest stops, etc.
Yep, that last part'd get 'em off 'assistance' damn quick
He can get their fingerprints offa discarded jumbo sodas.
600,000 out of 8,000,000 is NOT 5%. It is more like 7.5% and in reality it is probably closer to 10% as the census department couldn't count to eleven without taking off their shoes.
Bloomberg leading the charge to shove rhe maases into Agenda 21 U.N. style citizenship...
If you live in public housing, then the government is paying your rent. And since you are relying on the government for your survival, then you have given them the right to run your life and tell you what to do. Deal with it, losers.
If you can't or won't protect yourself you do as you are told or die.
600,000 people
un frickin believable
If you receive SS and Medicare, then the government is paying for your retirement.
And since you are relying on the government for your survival, then you have given them the right to run your life and tell you what to do.
Are you willing to say the same about SS and Medicare?
THIS, they complain about. Has Bloomie finally gone too far? I bet they will still vote for RATS all the way! /sarcasm
I would have no problem with Social Security and Medicare requiring fingerprints. I had to be fingerprinted to work in the public safety field and didn't mind a bit, because I knew it was required in order to work in that field, as it should be for any public employee or official. And because I'm not a criminal, I have nothing to worry about.
As far as I'm concerned, Bloomberg should also be requiring DNA, and anyone immigrating to this country legally or otherwise should be likewise required to comply. We have too much freedom for freeloaders, and not enough for people who take care of themselves and their families.
That is - if there are any jobs to get. Have you forgotten - we are living in the Obama economy? I have much to say on your tyrannical point of view, but will refrain at this point in time.
Some recipients do buy food for their kids, so in essence, it will be the kids who go hungry. People need to stop and think before they pop off at the mouth about every issue.
Why not go after other issues where your tax money goes - such as foreign aid to countries who hate us? There are a list of them, yet people want to bi*** about food stamps - as if they want to control what others can and can't do. Last time I checked that was the mantra of the left.
Yes, there is fraud with the food stamp program, but there is with every program - yet so many on here rant and rave over this. Could it be that you resent helping others who are less fortunate? If so, then you really aren't compassionate people. We've never had a say where our tax dollars go and yet they go to Planned Parenthood as well.
In a utopic world, there would be plenty for everyone - jobs, food, houses, cars, etc, but we don't live in a perfect world, do we? How many on here actually are willing to sustain a family of four with food for 3 or more years? Some of you may help out at Christmas time, but other than that - nada! People need to eat all year round. So go ahead and throw your rotten tomatoes at me - I've been in the trenches and have seen it all -and many families need the help they receive from the food stamps - and those I've met aren't milking the system - they have lost their jobs - gone through a divorce and have kids to feed and clothe and keep a roof over their heads.
Over and out~
Notice Bloomberg's words - who are you and why are you here? Isn't that what George Zimmerman was trying to find out when he was so brutally attacked?
lol, yep
The difference is that people have paid into SS and Medicare - the government isn't giving them anything they haven't contributed to. The government gives a very poor return on the money put into these programs - where has the rest gone?
And people who have lost their jobs and now receiving food stamps have also paid into that program when they didn't need it.
Such judgmental people on here - there might come a time when some of you who sit in your ivory towers and throw stones will find yourself in the same boat. No wonder people who are having a hard time don't vote for conservatives. They are scared and from the posts I've read on this forum - they should be.
I worked for many years and paid into programs for others to receive food stamps and yet I didn't mind. My taxes also support public housing, abortions and grants to study the mating habits of praying mantis's. Yet, more people harp on food stamps than anything else. Just because you may see someone driving an expensive car when they leave the grocery doesn't mean they didn't have that car before they lost their job.
People in the projects always blame the cops there is too much crime. But whenever a crime happens and the cops show up, the story they hear is "I dint see nuffins."
Earned, vs. unearned? I don't think so. Apples and oranges.
SS and Medicare are simply federal programs like myriad others created by Congress. It controls those purse strings just like NYC controls the purse strings of public housing.
If NYC has such authority, then Congress also has authority to impose conditions on beneficiaries of its programs.
For which you paid all your working life, and the government pissed away the funds in wasteful spending.
Congress can regulate SS with regards to age, benefit amounts, who is entitled to spousal benefits, etc, despite being "earned".
If Congress can do that with "earned" benefits, what's to stop them from imposing other regulations on recipients?
How does that matter with regard to governmental authority?
If Congress can force SS and Medicare on you, then what's to stop it from from imposing conditions on you in order to receive those benefits?
Your reasoning smacks of more government intrusion into people's lives. You call yourself a conservative? If so, then I suggest you do some critical thinking before trying to impose more rules and regulations on people. If this is your stance, then you might be better off at DU or Huffington Post with those who want to rule over others and tell them how to live.
To throw a little wood on the fire, all women who are getting ANY government money, Pell grants, section 8, WICS EBTS, small business loans, etc, should be required to get abortions if they get pregnant, or lose the benefits they already get!
If they could afford a child, then they obviously don't need government aid.
That does not make sense. My reasoning just shows what follows when you cede more power to government.
If you support government authority to require people to give up basic constitutional rights to receive welfare, then you have no principled argument against similar intrusions in other programs that government created and regulates - like SS and Medicare.
I want to abolish all such programs not in keeping with the Constitution. Click on my name to see my outlook on such matters.
If you support government authority to require people to give up basic constitutional rights in order to receive welfare,
LOL! Good one!
not opposed to people getting food stamps to "feed their kids"
opposed to food stamps being used to buy junk food and other luxuries and being accepted at race tracks and the like
we all know that abuse is a problem, we have all seen it, and it is not hard to fix
a govt that can dictate what your kid gets served for lunch can dictate what healthy foods food stamps can buy. we can all break the code on moochelle Obama's fixation on obesity - it aint rich white people
What you want and what you'll get are 2 different things. Let's see now - how can provide for the general welfare +written in the Preamble and in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution be interpreted?
I'm just messing with you. Of course, these words don't mean welfare, but try to convince low information voters of this fact. They hear the word welfare - and their lights go on.
This is a very deep subject and I'm not going to waste any more time on it. If people would help out others less fortunate on a daily basis - then perhaps there would be no need for government programs. But, alas - this isn't the case. People hoard for themselves and that isn't the Christian thing to do either. So when people aren't charitable toward others - government steps in.
These programs - like them or not - aren't going any where unless they go broke.

Research: 2013 State Of Cloud Computing
Our 2013 InformationWeek State of Cloud Computing Survey tells a tale of tepid adoption that's both unsurprising and discouraging. To get at the breakdown between private/hybrid and public models we asked about not only SaaS, PaaS and IaaS but use of virtualization. Among 446 business technology professionals at organizations with 50 or more employees, 64% are virtualizing; that meshes with last summer's Private Cloud Survey, which showed 51% of 414 respondents with clouds in place or starting down the road; we'll buy that the additional 13% have hybrid clouds in place.
However, the number in our current survey using the most popular public option, SaaS, actually dropped eight points since our 2012 State of Cloud poll.
Other data points:
>> 66% have between two and five providers in use
>> 51% cite security defects in the technology itself as a top cloud risk
>> 33% do not integrate various cloud services; users have separate accounts for each provider
>> 21% accept SLA terms as they are, up from 15% in 2012
>> 19% rate the general performance of cloud-based applications better than same app hosted in-house
In this report, we:
>> Walk through the main themes revealed by the survey results, highlighting the differences (where they exist) between the way that the cloud is being adopted by startups and the early majority versus our survey respondents.
>> Discuss how ultimately the cloud is going to do one of two things to the IT departments within large organizations: It will either make them more strategically important, or it will make IT obsolete. The outcome will depend upon whether IT can adjust to its changing role.
Respondent breakdown: 62% have 1,000 or more employees; 27% are over 10,000. Education, government and noncomputer manufacturing are well-represented, and 37% are IT director/manager or IT executive management (C-level/VP) level. (R6490513)

Modifications are a non-issue as of now, with both GE and Eurojet declaring that their engines can fit in the LCA's fuselage. A limited number of engines will be bought direct from the winning contender, while the rest will be license-built at HAL's engine factory in Koraput, Orissa. With all options exercised, the deal could be worth close to $600-million.
The obvious tie-in with the medium multirole combat aircraft (MMRCA) competition is the lifeblood of the Tejas new engine bid. While the EJ200 powers the Eurofighter Typhoon, the F414 powers Boeing's F/A-18E/F Super Hornet as well as the JAS-39 Gripen IN.
According to IAF sources embedded with ADA, on paper, both engines "just about" meet what the air force wants and needs from the LCA in terms of thrust. Having established that, what are the possible criteria of selection, if one were to put aside political and/or other considerations?
Point 1, virtually everyone I've spoken to at the ADA and air force believe that the engine that meets the new thrust compliance bar and fits the Tejas with the least amount of engineering, fabrication or modification will be selected. Both engines say they meet the maximum thrust requirements demanded by the IAF. The American F-414-400 is physically similar, if not identical, to the F-404 that currently powers the Tejas, and is, remember, a technological derivative of the same. Therefore, it stands to reason that ADA believes the people at GE when they say the F-414 is a spot-on fit without any tinkering. Similarly, based on information gleaned from the feasibility study, Eurojet boss Hartmut Tenter told Flightglobal earlier this year that "the EJ200 fits perfectly into the same hole." Ok.
Point 2, weight issues, which won't be taken, um, lightly. The F-414-400, at 1,109-kgs is approximately 120-kgs heavier than the EJ200.
Point 3, the F-414-400 has a stated maximum thrust of 98kN, more than the EJ200's 90kN, even though both technically meet the IAF's requirement for a 90kN turbofan. Will the extra thrust that the American engine apparently offers be enough reason to ignore the 120-kgs of additional weight that it brings to the competition? Maybe.
Point 4, the folks at ADA have had a great amount of experience working with GE on the LCA programme, so the American firm is well-versed with the rough and tumble of the IAF's qualitative requirements. Working with a firm that is already "in the picture" about your requirements is an intangible consideration, but a consideration nevertheless.
Point 5, if the IAF's mantra for lowering inventory type is taken even a bit seriously, then the outcome of this competition could bring a great amount of influence to bear on the far more lucrative MMRCA competition. This alone could give the government a huge amount of leverage either way, though it could also slow things down significantly to the detriment of the LCA programme.
The selection process begins next month. Stay tuned.

Kanter looks good in the clips you see.
But I remember folks on here a couple years ago (small minority, mind you) who thought Kosta Koufus was the next Dirk Nowitzky because he had some good perimeter skills for his size. I say that only because when we watch this small sample size (clips), might we have the same blinders that those Koufus fans had? It certainly appears that Kanter is way more athletic than Koufus. And I'm not sure Koufus was ever going to be anything but a high post guy, and not a low post guy. I'm still pulling for a Kanter pick, but unlike many of you, I have no idea about how Kanter compares to Valla and Vesely, the other two intriguing euro-bigs.

Chromebooks in the Enterprise
Saying "the network is the computer" oversimplifies matters, but Google has tightly coupled cloud services; a lightweight, auto-configuring and -updating OS; and lean hardware to create a hybrid hardware/software environment that delivers PC-like functionality with the convenience and security of an appliance.
In this report, we examine Chromebooks and the Chrome OS via a review of available hardware choices, the system architecture and environment, the Chrome app ecosystem, and the business benefits of a cloud-centric Chromebook deployment over the traditional PC alternative. We also offer tips on how to incorporate and manage Chromebooks and highlight the available applications most enterprise users will need. Competitive FUD notwithstanding, enough commercial-grade Chrome software exists that most users won't have a problem getting through their daily tasks without PCs. (S6710412)

As a self described coffee lover, Wolfgang Puck learned early on what many coffee aficionados have come to know - that cold brewing iced coffee produces a better taste than the traditional hot brew method. The cold brewing process involves soaking ground coffee in cool water for several hours. What results is a much more concentrated brew with more coffee flavor and less "bite" than the traditional hot brew method creates. However, leading coffee retailers and manufacturers do not often practice this method because it is labor intensive.
Wolfgang's newest restaurant showcases Wolfgang's most popular signature creation…pizza!
It might seem odd to someone who does not live in Los Angeles, but we often don't see the permanently blue skies and the palm trees. We forget to go to the beach. We completely forget about Lindsay Lohan. We take Wolfgang Puck for granted, despite the beautiful garden of Spago, the Oscars, the reminders on television and in airports. And then the chef does something to remind us of how necessary he has been to this town, to Los Angeles cooking, to the fusion food and creative pizzas, and to the resumes of so many of our chefs.
Dining downtown, 24 floors up: Wolfgang Puck's WP24 on the 24th floor of the 54-story Ritz-Carlton downtown is now open
Wolfgang Puck Grille inside the MGM Grand Detroit consistently exceeds my expectations...
Wolfgang Puck is perhaps the best known celebrity chef in the world and he is also a ubiquitous brand.

Go to the woods of Kyushu, Japan. Engineer a massive xylophone (or is it a marimba?) to run down the slope of a forested hill. Take a wooden ball, place it at the top of said instrument, and push it. What do you get? Bach's treatment of a traditional church hymn! Namely, "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring."
And, all this for a Japanese commercial for a kidney-shaped smartphone with the tagline, "Touch Wood." I may be late to the party on this one, but when I think of all the time it took to set this up, the precision and measurements used to adjust it and actually make each piece, and how many takes the film crew shot, it continues to inspire even if it's a year old.
And, here you can see how it was made:

Foreclosure Shoppers Find the Shelves Bare
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- U.S. home foreclosures have fallen to a six-year low, and that trend has hit bargain hunters in the wallet.
Home foreclosure discounts just aren't as steep as they were in the Great Recession, when buyers could count on scooping up a distressed property for 75 cents on the dollar. Why has a great deal to do with a thinner foreclosure market.
According to RealtyTrac, U.S. foreclosure filings fell 7% from December to January. Foreclosures are also down by 28% from January 2012 through last month.
Like many cultural and economic trends, look to California for a big reason distressed properties are in decline.
"The U.S. foreclosure landscape in January was profoundly altered by the effects of new legislation that took effect in California on the first of the year," says Daren Blomquist, vice president at RealtyTrac. "Dubbed the 'Homeowners Bill of Rights,' this legislation extends many of the principles in the national mortgage settlement -- including a prohibition on so-called dual tracking and requiring a single point of contact for borrowers facing foreclosure -- to all mortgage servicers operating in California."
Blomquist says the California statutes impose fines of $7,500 per loan to banks and lenders who file "multiple" improper foreclosure documents. That has led to mortgage lenders thinking twice before filing foreclosure notices, and has them exploring other options in dealing with struggling homeowners.
That has cut foreclosures significantly in the Golden State.
"For the first time since January 2007 California did not have the most properties with foreclosure filings of any state," he adds. "Instead that dubious distinction went to Florida, where January foreclosure activity increased on an annual basis for the 11th time in the last 13 months."
With foreclosures at their lowest levels since 2008, bargain shoppers looking for steeply discounted foreclosed homes are coming up empty these days.
Data from the real estate analytical firm FNC shows that foreclosure prices have "bottomed out in recent months."
FNC also notes the foreclosure market has "stabilized" as U.S. home prices have risen in value. That, the firm says, is "encouraging news" for the domestic housing market, which has been in the doldrums since 2007.
"The fact that we are seeing a combination of rising home prices and a bottoming out of foreclosure prices is a very good sign the housing recovery is taking hold," says FNC's senior research economist, Yanling Mayer. "This is the very first time in the long housing recession that the two are happening at the same time."
In fact, home foreclosure discounts have fallen to pre-recession levels, to about 12% in the fourth quarter of 2012, FNC reports. Back in 2008 and 2009, buyers could count on home foreclosure discounts of 25%, the company says.

If a hacker steals hundreds of thousands or even millions of customer records, you have a problem that's likely to cost your company millions of dollars in customer notifications and services such as free credit reports, and perhaps replacement credit cards.
Data breaches cost U.S. companies $214 per compromised customer record last year, according to the Ponemon Institute. The average total per-incident cost in 2010 was $7.2 million. Beyond the tangible costs, brand damage can be significant as well, though hard to quantify.
Yet many companies are unaware that their data and databases are being pillaged. When they do find out, weeks and even months have passed since the initial attack, according to the 2010 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report. What's more, businesses typically learn of breaches from third parties rather than their own people.

Skip to comments.Santorum Suggests Obama Preferable to "Etch-A-Sketch" Romney.
Posted on 03/22/2012 6:27:59 PM PDT by true believer forever
click here to read article
Santorum's finished.
The end is near.
Anything is preferable to Obama.
Even Santorum.
My guy is still Newt.
Would you rather have a known enemy or a backstabbing "friend"?
I have hated Romney as intensely as anyone over the last few years, and I have hated him from the beginning. I don't like his politics, and his personal manner is disturbing to me because I feel like he's telling me exactly what I want to hear. You can check my posting history on that.
As long as there was any chance that anyone but Romney could possibly go up against Obama, I supported anyone but Romney. But anything, even Romney, is better than Obama in my opinion. I don't know how anyone could let Obama win by not voting for the Republican nominee. I mean, I hate Romney, but Romney did go through the process and he is going to be the nominee. The alternative is much, much worse. And Conservatives that can let Obama waltz back into the White House, I almost understand them, but I can't really understand them.
I've wanted Newt since 2008 anyway, but wow...I just lost any respect I ever had for Santorum.
Rick Santorum: "Sure, I can come up with something every bit as stupid as Eric Fehrnstrom. Let me think a minute ... I got it! 'If Mitt's the Republican nominee, then you might as well vote for Obama!' How's that?"
We know BO will sell America down the river. Romney will support abortion, gun control, taxes, socialized medicine but he isn't an enemy of America.
The only hope seems to be that we could impact or limit the damage he would do.
Here is the difference between Romney and Obama.
Obama is a blatant socialist, which means it is easier to forment opposition to his socialist policies.
Romney is stealth socialist, who will sugar-coat his socialism to force it down our throats....which makes it more likely under a Romney Administration we would become even more socialist, than even under Obama.
What do you think Romney is more loyal to, The LDS, or the USA?
I feel the same way. I can't stand Romney, but the prospect of four more years of Obama, who won't have to be concerned with getting re-elected, is frightening beyond words. Considering what this evil person has done in the past three years, just think of what he'll do in the next four.
Good grief. There are "hot mike" moments, and then there are moments when you douse your own mike in lighter fluid, hold it over an open fire, and then plunge it down your throat.
"Anything is preferable to Obama."
I've scrapped things off the bottom of my shoe that I'd rather call President than Zero.
(Although Mittens pretty much comes in as a tie.)
The stupidity of your statement is breathtaking.
Doesn't matter, Romney isn't going to win anyway. He's spent the whole primary winning Obama strongholds while insulting conservatives.
Exactly, it's a moot point anyway....Obama crushes Romney like a bug.
You could be right, of course. I don't much disagree with you.
But I would have you ask yourself this: Do you really truly think that a protest vote of staying home and not voting for Romney on election day is really truly better for the country than going in there and voting against Obama?
If you can say yes to that, then I trust your conscience. But I have to tell you my conscience tells me I need to go in there and vote against Obama. I think its very, very important that we get Obama out of there.
Santorum from article: "we might as well stay with what we have."
If the GOP-e goes through and gives us Romney, they deserve to be on the ash heap of history, and a new political movement rises from the ashes, that would be better in the long-run.
I think Romney is loyal to himself, his power and his wallet.
Maybe also some of those Nascar owners. Romney will continue the globalization agenda.
"Anything is preferable to Obama.
Even Santorum.
My guy is still Newt."
I agree. I still say Newt is the best candidate we have. The RINO's and the media have over powered us once again. I am really dismayed with the Republican electorate. Maybe 30% of them get it.
My guy is always Newt.
Santorum has now jumped the shark.
I now support Newt...who doesn't stand a chance of catching up. :(
I'll agree with you on that. If the Republican party could be replaced by something much better in time to win some elections, I'd like to see that happen.
The problem is, even as people like Mark Levin have said, to dismantle the Republican party and put something acceptable in its place would be such a long and divisive process, that we would loose a number of elections in the process.
"Etch-A-Sketch" is the perfect description of Romney....and it came from his own camp.
Romney is not even ready for Prime Time.
Well, there goes Mark Levin's "I'd vote for an orange juice can over Barack Obama" campaign.
Well, there goes Mark Levin's "I'd vote for an orange juice can over Barack Obama" campaign.
I don't necessarily believe that. All it takes is one charismatic leader, and much can be accomplished quickly.
Abominable....I am stunned...wow....
Actually, I'd rather have Newt... sigh.
Wow. He has lost his mind.
While I don't think this was a politically smart thing to say, I understand his reasoning.
"Better the devil you know, to the devil you don't"
After stating that I will never vote for Romney, that's about the best argument so far.
If BO gets another 4 yrs. we won't have any political parties to worry about.
We will all be getting our food from govt surplus, going to govt run health clinics, and watching the Obama channel on tv.
We must all stick together to get him out of office, even if we end up with Ron Paul, oh, my goodness, did I really write that? Yes, and I mean it, too!
Do you have a fever with it?
"Doesnt matter, Romney isnt going to win anyway. Hes spent the whole primary winning Obama strongholds while insulting conservatives."
And what will cost Romney the election, should he be the nominee, is that many conservatives across the nation will be so discouraged and stay home.
Romney is Obama-lite and Newt, Rick and Ron and no better. Furthermore, I am surprised that some conservatives seem to be supporting Newt, anyway, considering that he has done some very anti-conservative things, such as frantically supporting Dede Scozzafava in NY-23, promoting going after global warming while sitting on a couch with Nancy Pelosi, among other things.
He is right! I will never vote for Romney! Romney will lose big time to Hussein. No more Rinos.
Santorum is where he is at now because he was the last Anti-Romney to "peak" but if he were to have said something like this a while back, he would be worse toast than Herman Cain. Its too bad that Newt peaked so early leaving Santorum to make an a** out of himself with comments like that.
Consider the other possibility, that a second Obama term will unite Conservatives like never before. United, he can never break us. A Romney Presidency (not that he's going to win anyway, mind you), will only further fragment the Conservative movement.
I think our only hope at this point is to throw all our $upport behind outfits like SarahPAC and revive the TEA party so we can lobby, influence, force, steer, cajole, and convince the eventual nominee and Congress to stay on the RIGHT course and buy us some time to undo all the statist damage that has been done to our Republic, while we get a real leader and President in 2016.
Scott Walker should be ready by then. Which is why it is so important that he prevails in Wisconsin.
Hahaha. When I hear people say they will vote for Obama if
Romney wins the nod then I figure they would have voted for OBama anyway. I am with Mark anyone but Obama
As long as there was any chance that anyone but Romney could possibly go up against Obama, I supported anyone but Romney. But anything, even Romney, is better than Obama in my opinion. I dont know how anyone could let Obama win by not voting for the Republican nominee. I mean, I hate Romney, but Romney did go through the process and he is going to be the nominee. The alternative is much, much worse. And Conservatives that can let Obama waltz back into the White House, I almost understand them, but I cant really understand them.
Anyone who needs a reset regarding voting for the republican nominee, whoever that will be, just needs to try and imagine what America will be after 4 more unfettered years of Obama... Doesn't look like Rick is capable of that kind of mental exercise... being holier-than-thou consumes a lot of mental energy.
What do you think Romney is more loyal to, The LDS, or the USA?
- - - -
That's an easy one. Romney took blood oaths to put the LDS church above all (not God, not Christ, but an organization).
Frankly, the LDS church NEEDS Romney to be POTUS to stem the tide of people leaving and taking their money with them. They need the money to build more malls.

List also included Bartolo Colon, Yasmani Grandal, and Melky Cabrera, who both already tested positive and were suspended. Same guy who was the supplier when Manny Ramirez tested positive as well.
The names are all included in an extraordinary batch of records from Biogenesis, an anti-aging clinic tucked into a two-story office building just a hard line drive's distance from the UM campus.

Time to Move On
The Reds needed a leadoff hitter and they got one from the Indians in Shin-Soo Choo. As you all know, it takes two to tango, so the Reds had to give up Drew Stubbs and Didi Gregorious (who goes to the Arizona Diamondbacks) to get Choo (and Jason Donald).
As frustrating as Stubbs could be
some of most of the time, I truly never had any major issues with the guy. The 160+ strikeouts he had every season… I had major issues with that.
Stubbs' defense was never in question, but when his sub-bar offense showed no signs of improvement from year to year (and took a serious down-turn this season), it was fairly clear that his days with the Reds were all but done. Didi Gregorious is the x-factor in this deal. He was one of the Reds' highest rated prospects, but with Zach Cozart holding down the shortstop position for the next few years, Gregorious had no place to go.
The plan is to play Choo in center–where he's never played before–but it's not like the Reds are moving a closer with a 1.51 ERA and 38 saves into the starting rotation. It's nothing crazy like that.
In the end, the Reds gave up two guys for one year of Shin-Soo Choo. That seems like a lot (and it is), but keep in mind that the Reds have Billy Hamilton and his 155 (one-hundred-and-fifty-five) stolen bases waiting in the leadoff wings.
On that note, I bid farewell to Drew Stubbs with one of my favorite highlights of his–this one from the eventual division-clinching game in 2010:

A Guide to Network Vulnerability Management
When it comes to security, there are no perfect networks and no perfect applications. Detecting key holes in your defenses doesn't actually have to be an expensive or complex proposition. You could certainly spend a lot of money building a robust and real-time network vulnerability capability if you wanted to, but you don't even have to spend any money to get going.
Network vulnerability management at Company A may look drastically different than it will at Company B, based on the type of company assets that must be protected and where they are located. There's no one-size-fits-all template or best practice that will protect you from every vulnerability that you face. But with diligence and planning, vulnerability management can be turned into a process that can help you identify potentially disastrous security holes before an attacker does.
In this report, we recommend tools and best practices for building out an effective network vulnerability assessment and management system. (S5660912)

quote Master TenkuJust putting it out there, but there are CoD4 Neoseeker clans, and on FIFA people have used Neoseeker as Club names online. And i'm pretty sure they didn't ask Redemption.but I advise against making a general Neoseeker clan as that would require permission from Redemption himself.
quote brokeandfamousI bumped into cgauld7 yesterday whilst playing WAR. I think we got each other an even number of times but I recognised the name from here so I actively seeked him out
quote Chelsea Mint FcHello guys,
Not sure if this is the place to suggest this, but I don't believe a new thread is neccessary, so I'll just post it here. Just recently, all the Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 forums' merged, to create more popularity for the forum and make it easier for the members as all 5 (can't remember the exact number, just a rough estimate) seperate forums were dying quite rapidly and the same topics were being generated in all the forums but not enough responses or posts. And I've seen the same thing happen in this thread, and not as much rapidly, the Xbox 360 thread. I'm just throwing the idea out there, because it made PES 2009 one of the most popular forums in Neoseeker--and could possibly do the same for CoD; WaW.

Skip to comments.It's official: U.S. hits debt ceiling
Posted on 12/31/2012 3:53:16 PM PST by quesney
click here to read article
The US government operates like that of some African banana republic, with the contempt of at least half of its people, like some Third World crap country.
Do we cheer? Start singing Nearer My G-d To Thee? Start rearranging the chairs on deck?
Maybe when the show the ball-drop tonight they should split-screen the debt "clock"...
Two long DC Kabuki Dances (fiscal cliff and coming debt limit)
are two more than I can stand.
It's Bush's fault!
So what —
Also let charities know that you may not be able to contribute any more....
A couple of days before Christmas one of the local police benefit funds called me wanting a donation for Christmas gifts "for the hungry and needy". He listened to my explanation as to why I wasn't donating for about two minutes and then slammed the phone in my ear. I have just started writing "Charity begins at my home first" and sending everything back I receive in the mail. I did donate to the Salvation Army, but certainly not as much as in the past.
One of my friends gave me a plaque for Christmas that says, "Who in their right mind would throw shit at a fan?" Thought it was pretty funny.
Mayans fault!
The national debt is now so large, it would take, per household, a tax increase the size and duration of a mortgage to pay off....if the borrowing were to stop immediately.
How about not extending that debt authority. Instead, spend only the money which comes in to the Treasury. If that means a 33% immediate cut than do it for every agency, program, salary, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, etc. Just make it apply equally to everyone. No exceptions.
Let's get real and stop trying to balance this stinking, bloated, out of control, monster government on the backs of the remaining suffering taxpayers, Medicare, and the Pentagon alone. Everyone should feel the pain. Perhaps then we will get some genuine solutions - or at least we won't get deeper in debt!
"Pain"? Right. EVERYONE in this country should feel it - including the moochers and looters! Right now they have a free ride.
The only way to restrain the Spender-in-Chief and his accomplices in Congress is NOT to increase the debt limit. Everyone needs to feel the pain now, including the low-information-voters.
Don't worry. Our crack leaders inside the beltway will find ways to kick the can down the road yet again...
—— Let's get real and stop trying to balance this stinking, bloated, out of control, monster government -——
No one seems to care about truth or reality. It comes from sinful hearts. No easy cure for that.
Goody. I can hardly wait. People are only saying we hit an iceberg. So long as there's plenty of champagne and good company, we'll be ok. We can't really have hit an iceberg. And what if we have? This ship is unsinkable. Everybody thinks so, so it must be true./sarc
"One of my friends gave me a plaque for Christmas that says, Who in their right mind would throw shit at a fan? Thought it was pretty funny."
I love that! My daughter, (who is a graphic designer)designed and made up some bumper stickers for me that say "It's just too difficult to beat Santa Claus" it it has a pic of Santa Claus with Obama's face superimposed.
""I can confirm we will reach the statutory debt limit today, Dec. 31,"
That's your debt, Buckwheat, not mine. You created it, you pay it back.
It's Bush's DE - fault!
Default! Default! Default!
Oh, dear. How do we avoid going over the spending cliff?
How about cutting (real cuts not "reduced" increases) spending?
How about repealing ObamaCare before it takes $$$ root?
How about shuttering about half of the unconstitutionally bloated federal government? Can't cut half, then cut 25%?
Okay, if we are at a debt LIMIT or CEILING, why do they have two more months to deal with it? I'm getting totally lost on this.
No, first we play a bit of soccer with the ice before the panic starts to set in. You're getting ahead of yourself. Singing and rearranging the deck chairs comes a bit later.
Maybe we should drop an uncooked ostrich egg instead?
Watch TurboTax Timmy hold a bond auction anyway. Anybody stupid enough to buy them should not be paid a dime on them, as they would be an accessory to a crime.
Just the tip of the iceberg. Add up ALL unfunded liabilities from all levels of government and the number is closer to 140 TRILLION, a number so large as to be comical. Not enough money on the planet to make a dent in that.
Yawn. Getting all excited about hitting the debt ceiling is SO 2002!
We remind the media that Barry said he cut spending by $1T in 2011, so we can't be anywhere near the debt ceiling...they must be mistaken...
What bills, what obligations???
Where is the budget??
Tell the Purchasing Managers to take January as paid vacay
Stop issueing purchase orders
Everyone else uses their vacay and sick days in Qtr 1.
e rest of
Time to start putting padlocks on some government buildings. I propose we begin with the Departments of Agriculture, Energy, and Education.
It's okay - they'll take out new credit cards and raise our taxes - just like they always do. :D
Works for me. Unfortunately, we're dealing with Republicans here. They will always find a way to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.
If Republicans do nothing at all, then we automatically get $1.1 trillion in spending cuts for this fiscal year. But unfortunately again, we're dealing with Republicans here.
We now have "Clinton era" tax rates
Pay the SS to Seniors, it was their money put in a trust.
Pay medicare.
0bama should now be flush with cash. He can prioritize all other spending
When the ball hits the bottom we can all yell,"We're insolvent,we're insolvent!"
And then nothing happened. Because just like all the other debt ceiling dramas it's all a play. The debt ceiling has no meaning, it's just there so they can posture and point fingers while not bothering to pass a budget.
We need a plan to sell the democrats, President Buckwheat, his supporters and RINOs into slavery to China and Japan to work off the debt they created. I figure we can spare about 50 million leftists and their useful idiots.
How many tramp freighters do we need to sail them to the magic, gun-free, politically correct ChiComm kingdom?
Whatever the number, it will create lots of jobs.
Semper fi and in hoc signo vinces, obuma ratface.
Let's get real and stop trying to balance this stinking, bloated, out of control, monster government on the backs of the remaining suffering taxpayers, Medicare, and the Pentagon alone. Everyone should feel the pain. Perhaps then we will get some genuine solutions - or at least we won't get deeper in debt!
"Pain"? Right. EVERYONE in this country should feel it - including the moochers and looters! Right now they have a free ride.
I gotta say that is a very reasonable solution to a very complex problem.
An Old Man
Stop the lying. There is no risk of default. Pay the debt obligations first, as required by the Constitution, then adjust the rest of the budget.
Here is the deal that the Republicans should insist on:
1) Agree to raise the debt for 2013 by $500 billion in exchange for a budget matching this deficit.
2) For 2014 raise it an additional $250 billion.
3) For 2015 raise it an additional $100 billion.
4) For 2016 raise it an addition $50 billion.
5) For 2017 raise it an addition $25 billion.
6) For 2018 no more raises in the debt limit.
7) All raises contingent on the passage of an annual budget with a deficit limited to the raise in the debt limit and without any new taxes. Not negotiable; no budget no raise.
The debt limit is the trump card for the Republicans if they have the courage to play it.
Of course they won't STOP spending....they can tax and tax and tax and tax, but it won't do squat to bring in revenue or pay down the debt.
Something tells me more and more, it's gonna take physically shuttering these a-clowns to get them to stop. They are just plain evil....and their base is clueless.
In fact, I'd like to cut them *anyway*.
Also, private, unrelated FReepmail.
Social Security is not an entitlement program. It is a Ponzi scheme where we might get part of what we are forced to pay into it.
Cut the funding to all of the freebies to people that do not contribute when they could.
I saved a woman from rape once by changing my mind. Same way he saved $1T.
Jimmuh Peanut sinned in his heart and Obammy saved in his head.
A Ponzi scheme is something you VOLUNTARILY enter into.
S.S. is extracted from you INVOLUNTARILY and with the penalty of prison if you don't hand it over.
Is this a great country or what? What's left of it that is.

Radio blabber Michael Savage (above), political guru to folks who find Rush Limbaugh too mainstream, is warning that entreaties from the government that everyone get flu shots are part of an evil scheme.
Jesse Taylor of Wonkette has the story HERE:
Your Wonkette writer had the flu last week. Let us put it this way: if you�re in desperate need of using every blanket in your home, then sweating through your clothes for two straight days, then go lick doorknobs at your closest university. Everybody else, get a flu shot.

Put Color on the Menu to Grow Your Small BusinessAfter realizing that the marketing materials produced by their black-and-white HP laser jet printer failed to entice customers with mouth-watering images, the Catering Co. investigated color printers and selected Xerox's Phaser solid ink printer. This printer would not only allow us to infuse our documents with vivid color, but would also save the company time and money with fast print speeds, the ability to take on more advanced jobs such as personalized menus, brochures and event portfolios in-house, and easy installation and maintenance.
Xerox Phaser 7800 Brings Creativity to Life for NORTH Brand AgencyNORTH, a Portland, Oregon based brand agency, needs to focus on bringing creative concepts to its clients, not the technical accuracy of its printer. The Xerox Phaser 7800 is packaged with color quality tools and is an integral part of NORTH's design and production workflow for print and outdoor advertisements, point-of-purchase materials and packaging.
