During her tenure, Secretary Rice has traveled over one million miles in 88 days to 83 countries (as of September 2008). Secretary Rice has said, "There is no greater honor than representing your country; it's the best job in government."
Where should the Secretary make her final official visit? Why?
David in Utah writes:
I want to thank Secretary Rice for the honorable and distinguished way that she has represented this country. I encourage her to visit Mexico as a final visit, emphasizing the importance of our relationship to that country. In future years, we need to strengthen this relationship and many Mexicans look to the U.S. for many reasons.

Pick a country that the United States has never been or had relations with and make that the most wonderful experience by bringing our Country values to them. Open the doors to people who never had the chance to communicate with us Americans. It would almost be like the days of Columbus who sailed the seas looking for new lands. Bring gifts and warm thoughts, our beliefs and customs. Above all bring the HEART OF AMERICA to them! This would be more memorable that visiting a country that you have already visited and it would be fruitful!
John in Greece writes:
Space! Only outer space can underline the message that Dr. Rice has been not only a "Columbus", but also an "Astronaut" teaching global diplomacy without frontiers.
It may sounds romantic, but it's true: Only outer space! She traveled almost everywhere and if she had the "miles offer", she certainly would enjoy lifetime free flying through her bonus. Donald in VA, through his suggestion, described my view far better than me: She "opened the doors to people who never had the chance to communicate with America, she looked for new lands, she brought gifts and warm thoughts, U.S.A. beliefs and customs ã she traveled the HEART OF AMERICA everywhere".
So, only a space view of the earth, through her eyes, can be her "final" visit as long as we are waiting from her more future political service in what area she decides.
P.S. According to my knowledge, there is a private company in NM that can arrange this space flight. I would also have on this First Class passenger fly list, Mrs Hillary Clinton, in order for me to underline --for one more time -- what really America is: Ideas. Democracy. Future.
Otherwise, (back to earth) I would certainly vote for Donald's GREAT suggestion WITH A VIEW!

@ John in Greece -- Thanks John, how do I get a first class seat on space travel? Too funny!
I honestly believe Dr. Rice will be an attribute of what can be done with the right skills. A woman, a Doctor with many talients and she continues to impress people around the world.
Well Done! (Bravo Zulu)
May God Bless Miss Condi and give her the wisdom to move in the right direction in future! I thought she stood up very well in those congress hearings. I wish her all the best and good luck in all that she does in life!
If anyone hasn't noticed I'm also still looking to advance my career opportunties. So whispering outloud saying, "If anyone knows of a position that can help our Nation, "I'm the guy for the job!""a piece of duct tape and ink pen" is my nickname from a tv sitcom years ago. Guess Who!
I will never tell! Ha Ha Ha!
Godspeed everyone, Peace, Harmony, Goodwill and above all be Happy over the Holidays!

It would be the greatest thrill of my life to sit down over a cup of tea or coffee and discuss the travails people of the world experience in their daily struggles to survive. To discuss the unscionable aspect of human behavior which propels some individuals and totalitarian governments to inflict pain, suffering and brutal murders upon its own citizens or those of other countries. How to deal with the massive human rights abuses people the world over endure and how they manage to retain a spirit of hope for the future would be of great importance to discuss. We could explore the absolutely amazing role America has played in guarding the flame of freedom and generosity, keeping it alive and how America has continued to give hope to so many around the world.
One would wish to thank Secretary Rice and America for her incredible journey around the globe and the sound , insightful, discerning, knowledgable way that she has dealt with many difficult circumstances in spite of continued obstacles she has had to surmount. One would love to learn how to maintain a constant diplomatic presence and demeanor in the face of extraordinary pressures and personal wishes to behave in an undiplomatic way.One would like to learn how to really talk softly yet carry a big stick at the same time. Has Secretary Rice used body language to discern intent of opposing factions or to impart intentions? Does it work?
Would love to hear her play a classical piece or two on the piano, her very favourite pieces. Her life story would be a fascinating one to hear from her personally. Given the fact that she would have preferred to be Provost at Stanford University, did Secretary Rice ever experience a vague desire to return to her first love instead of her position as Secretary of State? What would have been her most difficult negotiating experience with any power on earth? Who did Dr. Rice feel great antipathy toward and why? How does she view the role of Russia in the future and does Dr. Rice have grave concerns about the path Russia has embarked on, propelled by Putin and Medvedev, to establish a greater presence in the Western Hemisphere with its ties to Hugo Chavez and Venezuela? In spite of diplomatic efforts stating America is not concerned about Russia's naval exercises with Venezuela, do concerns still exist? Should Americans and Canada be concerned about their machinations. As one who has fought all of her adult life ( since my mid-teens) to lobby politicians, countries, even a stint in Austria, seeking freedom, religious rights and extrication of the Soviets from the Baltic States, it would be a real blessing to converse with Secretary Rice about how she views the future of the region there. Will Russia abstain from re-occupation of the Baltic States, given its deplorable incursion into Georgia this past summer into Abkhaziz and South Ossetia where they still retain an illegal presence?
While the likelyhood of Secretary Rice ever coming to the smallish town of Barrie to meet with a perfect stranger who admires her work greatly, I just could not resist the temptation to write, a once in a lifetime event should it ever happen.

He told her that he will help Democracy come to "town". Now he is changing the law again hoping to become President for another 8 (who knows how many) years! He lied again!
Do you see a REAL reason why the Secretary of State should meet a liar AGAIN?
P.S.: Donald in Virginia, I will vote once again for your initial suggestion. But I also give a second vote to UK and... space!
Eric in New Mexico writes:
The UN.
I would ask that the honorable Secretary of State call for a special session of the UNGA to remove Buma, Zibabwe, Iran, Sudan (for starters) from holding a seat in the UN for their gross human rghts violations, crimes against humanity, state sponsored terrorism (domestic and otherwise) and their failure to comply with existing UN resolutions in the Sec. council.
This can be done under the UN charter by a two-thirds majority vote of the UNGA in each case separately.
I think it is past time to force the UN to enforce it's own charter upon member states. And who better to do so than this nation that provides the UN in all its activities with 22% of its total annual budget.
This would be an extrodinarily appropriate moment to do so on the 60th aniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Let her show the world that we as a nation will not abide by the status quo, nor the soft bigotry of low expectations in any context, political or otherwise.
Thomas in Virginia writes:
It seems odd to me that in the last four years, the Secretary hasn't visited Darfur, considering all of the troubles there. I'm not sure of the message that would be sent by going there last, but it'd be a worthwhile place for her to go.

The United Nations with a summary.
Any other visit will simply be viewed as political in nature or looked over.
A visit with Russia would only aggravate the situation; a visit with an England is not needed and a waste as with any ally we have. Visits to places of conflict will not help, nor will any visit to those in need as one administration is leaving and no commitments can be considered valid.
Just as Obama is sitting out on the Administrations finial days, the only fair and best visit would be a full United Nations seated summary including a turnover statement which she should talk to Obama and Hilery about that would continue to provide Hope for those needing it and Security for those who are attempting a democratic state as well as assureing the Solvency of the United States of America Economically in some manner.
On the World Stage, that is where...

@ Joe, the fact that humanity still exists and hasn't blown itself slap off the map over the last 60 years is a real good indication that in the battle between the sane and the insane, the sane are winning. At least the last time I checked....
And one must forgive Billy Shakespere for not including the line , " For all the world is also the audience, critics and pundits in equal measure as the players."
There was no mass media in his day.
Jonathan in Texas writes:
I always thought Secretary Rice did a fantastic job during her tenure in this administration. I hope she keeps her promise of working with education post Secretary of State duties.
I do agree that she has traveled so much that she does not need to visit any country but if I had to pick I would say Mexico. Understandable with an economic crisis in our country that almost every issue would be put to the side but everyone seems to have forgotten the immigration problem. This problem brought a fence on the border of Texas and Mexico. I just think a general meeting about that and strengthen our relationship with Mexico wouldn't hurt. Other than that, she should kick her feet up and relax because she has done a great job.
Machiavelli in New York writes:
Despite the inevitable chaos that will ensue in South Florida and North New Jersey, we should establish negotiations with the Cuban government. With the incapacitation of Fidel Castro, Cuban society seems to be heading in a more democratic direction as it is. Dropping the embargo would allow the United States to do several things -- flood a globally isolated Cuban community with American culture, further ignite an already booming underground push for free elections and democracy, and force the Cuban government to finally come through on promises to improve the quality of life of its people (its excuse for not being able to do so for the last forty years has been the "bloqueo," or our economic blockade). Furthermore, given our trade policies with countries whose human rights atrocities rival those of the Communist island, the argument for maintaining the Cuban embargo has been irrelevant for a quite a while. In short, ending the embargo will serve as a catalyst for the ends the Cuban exile (and our presidents) have been demanding for half a century.

Bush approved after Georgia's disastrous five-day war with the Russian Federation in August, and Georgia's president recently admitted that he started the war. So we are rewarding the aggressor?
I don't believe the U.S. can afford any further services from Secretary Rice if this kind of reckless spending is the result.

FERC Resolves Outstanding
Issues in Power Authority's New License
Jack Murphy
Printer-friendly version
June 9, 2004
WHITE PLAINS – New York Power Authority officials
Tuesday praised the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's actions that
resolved nearly all outstanding issues that had been raised in response
to the issuance of a new 50-year license for the St. Lawrence-Franklin
D. Roosevelt Power Project in Massena.
"We're obviously pleased with FERC's decisions,"
said Eugene W. Zeltmann, president and chief executive officer of the
Power Authority. "Our staff worked long and hard with many people having
a stake in the outcome of the licensing process, and with the FERC staff
during the proceedings. These rulings by FERC validate all the time and
effort that went into achieving the license and putting to rest the
other concerns."
FERC issued its rehearing order in the relicensing
of the St. Lawrence-FDR Project last Friday.
In a significant ruling on power allocations, FERC
reversed its earlier decision to require an allocation of 4,800
kilowatts (kw) to Massachusetts. It also accepted NYPA's argument that
there is no evidence of Congressional intent that St. Lawrence-FDR
Project power be allocated to neighboring states. FERC, however, did
not alter the article which incorporated settlement terms with the other
six out-of-state customers. Those agreements, reached prior to
submitting the license application, cover 34,500 kw of power. These
allocations expire in 2017.
In another allocation issue, FERC rejected arguments
raised by the Niagara Power Coalition (NPC). Specifically, FERC
rejected the power coalition's request for an allocation of St.
Lawrence-FDR power and its request that FERC include a license provision
to modify the allocation during the 50-year license term.
FERC's ruling also confirmed the location of the new
project boundary it had approved in an order dated Dec. 23, 2003. In
general, the new boundary eliminates all of the Town of Lisbon and the
portion of Waddington upstream from the Iroquois Dam from the St.
Lawrence-FDR project. In areas still within the project boundary,
provisions to return property to the local towns and to adjacent
property owners are also confirmed.
FERC also ruled that the Power Authority's
environmental impact statement adequately addressed all the issues
raised by the stakeholders.

Even those with little medical knowledge know white blood cells play a large role in the body's natural defenses and immunities. This is why it can be devastating when a disease lowers the count of white blood cells. Unfortunately, feline panleukopenia in cats attacks these healthy white blood cells and lowers a cat's ability to fight infection and diseases.
Feline panleukopenia virus (FPLV) is a virus that belongs to the parvovirus family and is similar to the virus which causes parvovirus in dogs. Parvovirus in dogs is not contagious to cats, but much like other forms of parvovirus, FPLV is transmitted through the feces of a cat already infected with the disease. While this is more of a major issue for dogs, who are more prone to eating or coming into contact with feces than cats, it does happen. FPLV may also live in water or on clothing and may be additional sources of infection for cats.
A cat infected by FPLV will likely display general listlessness, signs of dehydration, vomiting and diarrhea. Affected cats may show signs of shock and might even collapse. Pet owners should bring their cat to a veterinary hospital right away if these signs develop.
By severely lowering the white blood cell count, FPLV makes cats extremely susceptible to other diseases and infections. Conditions that would not normally affect a cat may soon become life-threatening. Many do not realize the body is actually fighting off infections all the time, but in many cases white blood cells are enough to combat infections without medication. With the white blood cells lowered due to FPLV, the feline's defenses are down.
FPLV is a highly-resistant virus and is difficult to treat once it is present. The cat will likely need intensive care to ensure it is not afflicted by other infections while the condition runs its course.
Fortunately, there are cat vaccinations for FPLV, making its occurrence limited mainly to kittens and strays who do not receive proper medical care. The vaccine should be included in the kitten's booster shots that a veterinarian will give during the first few months of life. It is important the animal gets two booster shots during this time so the FPLV vaccine is not blocked by the kitten's natural antibodies passed on by its mother.

Napoli into second; Inter lose
A review of Tuesday night's action in the Italian Serie A, where Napoli were victorious against Cagliari.
- Related Content
A second-half goal from Marek Hamsik took Napoli up to second in Serie A, just two points behind league leaders Juventus, thanks to a 1-0 win at Cagliari.
Walter Mazzarri's side struggled to impress and, after hitting the post early on, the Partenopei spent most of the time defending.
Cagliari hit the woodwork twice and looked more likely to score until Hamsik pounced on a loose ball to earn the visitors all three points and take them above Inter Milan and Fiorentina.
Lorenzo Insigne rattled the post at the end of a rare Napoli attack in the 21st minute, but Cagliari were largely the livelier of the two teams in the first half.
Alessandro Gamberini almost gave Napoli the lead when he diverted a corner against his own post, before Danilo Avelar tried a speculative lob from 35 yards which landed on the roof of the net after De Sanctis had left his goal vacant.
A goalmouth scramble saw Michael Agazzi called into action twice on the hour mark before Hamsik put Napoli ahead with a rare attack in the 72nd minute.
Juan Zuniga put pressure on Albin Ekdal, who nudged the ball inadvertently to Hamsik to curl into the far corner from eight yards.
It was harsh on Cagliari, who tried to find an equaliser, but the Rossoblu were unable to find one.
Inter Milan failed to take advantage of Juventus' defeat to AC Milan on Sunday as they fell to a 1-0 defeat at Parma.
Nicola Sansone scored the only goal of the game 15 minutes from time to give Parma a deserved win at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.
Inter were once again off colour, losing for the second time in three games since beating Juve 3-1 in Turin.
Parma certainly had no fear and continued to attack their opponents, whose only shot in the first half came from Esteban Cambiasso, but the ball was blocked on the line.
Jonathan Biabiany was particularly inspired against his former club and his shot in the 44th minute flew just wide of the far post with Handanovic standing idly by, unable to intervene even had the shot been on target.
Parma gained a deserved lead in the 75th minute when Sansone picked up possession inside his own half and set off on a 30-yard run which culminated in a low shot into the bottom left-hand corner of Handanovic's goal.
Parma easily held on to the win which lifted them to seventh in the table and above AC Milan, maintaining an unbeaten home record that stretches back to March.

In early 1916, Congress passed a law calling for the issuance of 100,000 gold dollars to be sold as souvenirs for $3 apiece to raise money for a memorial to the martyred President William McKinley in Niles, Ohio. Despite the lofty goals, only 20,026 pieces were struck in August and October 1916. The National McKinley Birthplace Memorial Association sold an estimated 8,000 pieces to the public, approximately 7,000 to Texas dealer B. Max Mehl (at reduced prices), and the rest were returned to the Mint and destroyed. Thus, the total number of 1916 McKinley Dollars that made it into the hands of the public is an estimated 15,000 pieces.
Virtually all of the known examples are Mint State, though a few "escaped" into circulation or were made into jewelry. As a result, the survival rate is extremely high. PCGS alone has certified over four thousand examples, the bulk of which grade out at MS64. Gems are common and even MS67 pieces are plentiful enough (but pricey).

Skip to comments.Gun buybacks a noble idea that always misfires
Posted on 02/25/2008 5:08:27 PM PST by rellimpank
On Feb. 9, Oakland police, led by state Sen. Don Perata, D-Oakland, offered to buy handguns and assault weapons for $250 each, "no questions asked, no ID required." The "One Less Gun" buyback program attracted so many eager sellers that the money quickly ran out, but instead of closing up shop, the police handed out IOUs good for a future buyback. The Oakland police are now stuck with a bill for $170,000. The buyback has been criticized as a poorly organized fiasco, but even the critics say it was "the right idea" and "a step in the right direction."
On the contrary, the buyback was a bad idea from the beginning. Gun buybacks have been tried before, in cities from Seattle to Washington, D.C., and they simply don't work.
In an authoritative study, the National Academy of Sciences reported that "the theory underlying gun buy-back programs is badly flawed and the empirical evidence demonstrates the ineffectiveness of these programs."
It doesn't take much insight to understand why gun buybacks don't work. Gun buybacks attract low-quality guns from people who aren't likely to use them to commit crimes. The Oakland police, for example, bought a dozen guns from seniors living in an assisted-living facility. Are you relieved to know that Don Perata has disarmed these dangerous senior citizens?
The Oakland buyback was especially absurd because of the high price offered: $250.
(Excerpt) Read more at insidebayarea.com ...
$250?!?! I have a bunch of broken guns that I couldn't sell for $25 total. I hope I get a buyback like this someday.
but even the critics say it was "the right idea" and "a step in the right direction."
Typical liberal feel good crap.
Here are some revolver prices: http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?catalogId=11101&storeId=10001&categoryId=50802&langId=-1&parent_category_rn=15703&top_category=15703
How can you buy "back" something that was never yours?
(In other words, the very term is a lie.)
It is not a noble idea, it's just freaking stupid.
That is what I was thinking, if the $250 applies to any gun!
so, with no questions asked and no I.D. required, how many of these guns were A. stolen, B. used in crimes? The whole thing was a publicity stunt by that miscreant, Don Perata. And of course the liberal morons living in Oakland will figure he's such a noble guy. How many guns did he sell "back"? The SOB has one of two CCW permits issued in Oakland.
I'm thinking of a Senator buy-back program. I never actually owned a Senator, but I'd turn one in for a big payday. Hey, it gets one off the streets.
Oakland, Berkeley and SF are within spitting distance of each other - there's a lot of competition among those three for who's got the most Morons! Fools! and Idiots!
They take turns in upping the bar.
Does it say what they do with the guns that they buy? I remember another gun buyback program where the police department ended up selling the guns they had bought back to recoup some of the money they had paid out. I am pro second amendment, but if they were not going to destroy the guns they bought, what would be the point?
Amazing ... the cops ripped off the sellers -
Do they get to post negative comments on EBay ?
I wonder how the people in line reacted when the cops said, " no more money, but we are going to take your guns away anyway ".
I don't know about getting Senators off the streets. I can think of several that should be kicked out onto the streets.
In what way are 'buybacks' a 'noble idea'? And since the idea is to be a publicity stunt to show how 'reasonable' gun owners don't really need their guns, how does it 'misfire'?
Step 1) buy $100 gun from:
Step 2) sell $100 to police for $250
Step 3) profit!
Here are some others dip stick. http://www.hi-pointfirearms.com/handguns/hi_point_handguns.html They run to about 180 (NEW) and guess waht, neither of these are being tuned in.
Grab a clue some where!
More like a $175 gun--at least around here--once shipping and FFL handling fees are taken into account. Further, non-FFL's are not allowed to sell guns purchased for the purpose of resale.
BTW, I wonder why the quoted shipping for three guns is more than twice as expensive as shipping for two.
Where do you think cops get their "drop guns"?
Their .45acp pistol feels like a brick. To be expected, I suppose, since it's blowback operated.
Looking at the instruction sheet, I'm curious what the "counterweight" is for? An effort at drop-safety?
Even dumber:
Several years ago Toronto had a water gun trade-in program.
Wish i had the link.
The anti gun org set up a deal at the park where kids were to
bring their water pistols and cannons etc and trade the for books, games and puzzles.
The news article described one of the toy water cannons something like, fearsome, and glowed about the real
message the kids were getting.
One brainwashed boy was quoted saying something like, I am glad to get rid of these guns..., or some such.
Wish I could find that article.
I've never heard that HI-Point has any reputation for quality.
And who are you calling dipstick?
and just think, that the thugs are going to turn in AK's, UZI's and the like for $250.00 when the street value is 10X. I don't think so.
Not you. The buy back idiots. Just pointing out that you could make money on the deal.
I'll be glad to buyback firearms, I'd like to add a few to my collection
Yup, thats whay I read last week, they 'ran out' of money due to dealers unloading [pun intended] cheap junk by the trunkfull...econ 101...
I have been praying for such an offer, it would allow me to get more than some guns are worth and allow me to buy more firepower in a newer model.
How can it be a buyback if they are not the ones that sold the guns in the first case?
Also, do they have an FFL? They are violating the one gun a month law, the waiting period, background check, etc.

Skip to comments.Obama Knee-Deep in Nixon-esque Scandal
Posted on 05/13/2013 11:58:23 PM PDT by lbryce
President Obamas second-term campaign slogan was Forward, but instead weve got cover-ups, congressional investigations and the government persecution of political opponents and reporters.
That sounds like backward to me. All the way to, say, 1972.
Who would have guessed that just a few months into his second term, President Obama would be compared to Tricky Dick. And by a liberal Massachusetts Democrat U.S. Rep. Michael Capuano.
Republicans could not even have scripted this one. The agency most hated by voters, the Internal Revenue Service, admits to going on a Nixonian witch hunt against Tea Party and conservative groups during the re-election campaign.
This is a story even the most partisan Massachusetts liberal cannot defend. Its so bad that even Ed Markey is calling for heads to roll.
Now we learn that the Justice Department has secretly obtained the phone records of Associated Press reporters and editors in what appears to be an investigation of an AP story that disclosed details of a CIA operation that stopped a terrorist attack.
Going after the Tea Party is one thing, but the media? What an outrage. Who knows, the press may get so mad they wont laugh at Obamas jokes during the next White House Correspondents Dinner.
(Excerpt) Read more at bostonherald.com ...
I've been dreaming, hoping, praying for years to seeing a headline like this, but reality always forced me back from ever letting me toy with the fantasy of anything as surreal, outer-worldly as "Obama, Scandal Monger".
The fervent hope of millions of Americans, all interconnected as one giant kindred spirit, "the collective consciousness" of millions of Americans who love their county, instinctively know that no one as evil, diabolical, Machiavellian, as the egregiously arrogant sociopath that Obama is, who continues to unleash as much free-wheeling, damage, destruction on this great nation of ours, this damn*ble usurper, despiser, of all things great, profound about America, it's institutions, know you don't get to wreak havoc chaos on America and get away with it.
His Day of Judgement is hopefully soon here, his comeupppance will be every bit as deserved, appropriate as the sins he's committed, he will be made to pay for his crimes.
Some guys know how to read a speech well, and can stir up a crowd, and can organize a community to agitate, but should never, ever be put in any position of power.
All this a**hole knows how to do is blame others for his constant screw ups. We've never had a more incompetent, irresponsible president, but than we've never had a Kenyan bent on destroying us as president either.
Remind me how many people were brutally murdered and sodomized during the Watergate scandal.... That's right, none.
They called Tea Partiers paranoid. Turns out, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.
As for the press suddenly "waking up", can't help but notice its only after they found themselves in the crosshairs.
"When they went after Tea Party I didn't speak because I wasn't a Tea Partier. When they went after Pro-Israel groups I didn't speak because I am not pro-Israel. When they went after gun owners I didn't speak because I don't own guns. When they came after me...
WOW!!! Is this the MSM talking? WOW!!!
Nixon did the same stuff... right down to using the IRS against his enemies...
Nixon said I am not a crook - he was...
Obama said I am not a dictator he is...
First they came for people in the Tea Party,
and I didnt speak out because I wasnt in a Tea Party.
Then they came for people who used words like constitution and patriot,
and I didnt speak out because those words didnt matter to me.
Then they came for conservative Jews and evangelical Christians
and I didnt speak out because I was too cool to be a believer...
Then they came for the AP and members of the press,
and there was no one left to speak for us.
Thanks for pointing out that it had been already posted. I saw the story, submitted it into the search field but received no response, made the decision to post it.
Thanks again for pointing it out.
Need to be careful that the Senate doesn't try to push through Immigration (Amnesty) when all eyes are distracted on this!
And more. Good post.
Great post.
Needs to hit conservative talk radio tomorrow.
If Nixon was in purgatory, he has since sprouted wings and is strumming harps compared to the demonic extent of everything obama has done.
Point of information: The Boston Herald is owned by GateHouse Media, a newspaper conglomerate. The NY Times owns the Boston Globe.
The press may get so mad they wont laugh at Obamas jokes during the next White House Correspondents Dinner.
And sadly, that's probably the worst it gets for the POS in the WH.
His Day of Judgement is hopefully soon here, his comeupppance will be every bit as deserved, appropriate as the sins he's committed, he will be made to pay for his crimes.
I have this dream... He flies in Air Force One to Indonesia or Kenya and asks for Political asylum and never comes back.
My dream is that he and all his cronies get free orange jumpsuits for the rest of their lives.
Thank you for your kind words. It is most appreciated.
Good point! My dream was for this week, I did fail to mention that. Mea Culpa.
We'll know when Obama is in real trouble when the race card gets played by liberals everywhere. You know, "Well, if the President is impeached and removed from office, there's no telling what kind of civil unrest that may cause...."
Just wonder if Obama has a pair of hipwaders and an endless supply of shovels and pitchforks. For all the crap he keeps trying to feed to the public that he is innocent of any wrongdoing.
I am to young to remember Nixon and Watergate, did not Nixon for 2 years claim innocence than when the issue ramped up and Impeachment proceedings went forward, Nixon resigned. The downfall of Nixon brought in Carter. (Yes i know ford was president between Nixon and Carter, but the resignation hurt the repubs)
Wrong. The Herald is owned by Gate House Media. The Boston Globe is owned by the Slimes.
The Times owns the Boston Globe
I've been dreaming, hoping, praying for years to seeing a headline like this,......
The Boston Herald is known for headlines like this.

Just confirming what Kevin said: I'm renting my Rotax to a guy who will race TAG.
Generally, I don't have any issues with combining TAG and Rotax but this time I hope they're separated.

My take is that getting hit from behind--particularly when accelerating out of the Monza--is a driver issue more so than a kart issue. Here are the two scenarios:
If that kart is being lapped, the overtaking driver needs to be patient, as he has the straight to get it done and a "driver overtaking" flag waiting for the driver in front of him.
If the kart is not being lapped, he needs to hold his line, and then it's the overtaking driver's responsibility to ensure no contact is made with the kart ahead. Once he gets his front wheel halfway up the kart he's trying to pass, responsibility begins to shift and be shared.

Steve- I think your getting off topic a bit. The original question concerns the combining of rotax seniors and masters. But since you're there.....
The racers have discussed the issue of combining tag and rotax many times over the past couple of years. If you search the forum you'll find that there are many opinions on the topic. I personally enjoy racing in tag class with a rotax when I can. There isn't much difference in motor. Definately not a safety issue. The big difference is tires. A tag in rotax has the advantage of open tire vs. mojo. While the d2 is better. It's still a spec tire. A rotax in tag can run equal or better tire.
Now back on topic. There are some close races for points in both masters and seniors rotax classes. Because of that, I would vote that all classes stay seperated.

I don't think that any rules need to be changed. I just feel that it is up to the driver to understand what he is up against when entering a class. (I would have no problem, at all, of entering my Rotax into a Tag race right now.) The D2s help to equalize the power, and if I happen to get hit while driving in a Tag race, it was my decision to race with faster karts.
If the driver is new, and is not used to the kart, he is supposed to place a large "X" on his helmet until he is up to a safe speed (per club rules).
Overall, Daniel is right on the money saying that it is the passer's responsibility to make a clean pass up until the nose is visible by the passee. Then it becomes both drivers' responsibilities.

FYI, I plan to recommend that for 2009 at least for Tag we go to the Spec tire, which is Bridgestone YHC. This tire is on par with the D2 and actually might be a tenth or two slower.
As to the Monza, from personal experience of driving both a Tag and Rotax. I can tell you that mid corner in the monza, the Rotax is definitely faster.

9 Rotax Seniors and 3 Masters
0 Tag
Steve, I don't understand why Rotax drivers should have to be forced to run with TAG. If they want to run TAG they can sign up for that class. They are able to run in that class because they have a TAG legal motor. Rotax class is Rotax only, sealed motors, spec tire, etc. Most of the guys that own Rotax karts bought them to run in a Rotax class because of bigger turnouts, close racing and sealed motors.
And just remember, all of us Rotax guys are also GSKA club members.

Part of the reason for combining classes is for the sake of getting all the classes run before dark. The other is if someone wants to run another "similar " class they can and get more seat time and the club gets an additional $20. bucks
To me that's like letting the 'cup cars run in the nationwide series
I personnally like the classes seperate....... but who am I !

Post subject: Rotax and Tag together
I know this subject has been beaten to death many times, but I just couldnt leave it alone.
As a Tag driver, all I know is that Steve Bushell and I are just looking to have more people to race with. I hear all kinds of talk about the need to keep classes separate because of safety, rules, points, horsepower, tires, etc, etc Isnt the reason everyone puts their butt into a kart is to enjoy the thrill of speed and competition? I see very similar times for Rotax and Tag, so where is this big advantage? Safety? If someone is afraid to run with other karts of similar speed and lap times, either stay home or ban the other karts for the safety of everyone. If they are too dangerous to run with Rotax, then they must be too dangerous to be allowed on the track at all. I understand about the Rotax Qualifiers, but other weekends wouldnt you want to have as many karts on track as possible? Rules? Its a local club, not F1. Let the race director combine classes if he believes this provides the best competition. Thats why you have a race director. Maybe Im still a newbie around here or maybe I just dont GET IT. I enjoy racing at Barnesville so please dont take any of this personally.
There, Im done.

Sikorsky CRH Project Could Reach $7.9 Billion
U.S. Air Force awards development phase of Combat Rescue Helicopter program, with the lone bidder of the Sikorsky/Lockheed Martin team receiving $1.28 billion.
The U.S. Air Force is moving forward with a derivative of the Sikorsky UH-60M Black Hawk for a Combat Rescue Helicopter (CRH) to replace the HH-60G Pave Hawk fleet. Lockheed Martin is also involved as a major subsystems supplier for the CRH program. There are currently around 100 HH-60Gs in service with the Air Force (active plus reserve) and Air National Guard.
The first portion of the long-term agreement, referred to as an Engineering & Manufacturing Development (EMD) contract, is valued at $1.28 billion and covers the development of the helicopter and its mission systems, four aircraft and seven aircrew and maintainer training systems.
The Air Force requirement calls for up to 112 aircraft that could reach an estimated cost of $7.9 billion, however the contract has been structured to "handle fluctuations of quantities," according to a Department of Defense statement. "Eventual production quantities would be determined year-by-year over the life of the program, based on funding allocations set by Congress and the U.S. Department of Defense acquisition priorities," Sikorsky added in a statement.

Work is scheduled to continue through June 2029 at Sikorsky's plant in Stratford, Conn. The award came as a result of a "competitive acquisition" process, according to DoD, however the Air Force only received one bid to an October 2012 solicitation.
The agreement covers development, production and initial support for the CRH. Sikorsky intends to provide initial training for aircrew and maintenance personnel by 2020.

I am always awed at Krista's insightful questions and conversations. I really enjoyed this interview as well, and I especially resonated with the prayerful or body yoga. I find that if I try to bring this sort of purposeful attitude to any activity in which I am engaged, I end of feeling enriched and renewed, whether it is my work or cleaning the house or caring for my loved ones. Thanks to both Seane and Krista for sharing their own personal stories.

LOVED the interview with Shawn Coren. Have a comment to share. The ladies of Lolo would love to have a yoga studio here. There are several of us who want to take yoga classes and do not necessarily want to go to Missoula or Florence after work to do so. There is a nice commercial space for rent that would make a great yoga/dance studio. If you are interested, please call Bonnie @ 370-4223 for more information. It is a great location with reasonable rent.

Krista,
Thank you for sharing your experiences with
Thank you for sharing your experiences with yoga. I too have found yoga to be a perfect complement to the spiritual work and practices I had already embraced. For me, I appreciate the way that yoga quiets my monkey-mind and I LOVE the practice of Bhakti Yoga as a way to give a name to what I had already been doing.....giving my love to God. The asanas, breathwork and chanting have intertwined to deepen, broaden and expand the reach of the spiritual practices I had learned through the Contemplative/Mystical Christian tradition. To me, YOGA ROCKS!

Krista,
A friend I work with in the public school, and
A friend I work with in the public school, and a neighbor both told me to listen to your show with Seane Corn, and they were right I loved listening to this program, and will listen to it again and again. As a person who came to yoga in and around my fifth decade, I have found yoga (my main focus is vajra yoga and kripalu yoga) to be my way in.
My way in to working with my mind and opening my innate compassion in authentic ways that are not depleting but self generating. I have tried my whole life to be compassionate and gentle, and yoga and meditation have given me the tools to realize these abillites...not always, but surely more regularly.
So bit by bit yoga comes to America in the wild west digital days. I am so grateful to the westerners who have studied these practices and their able teachers who have kept these teachings alive through the centuries....and then there's us...the students and new teachers and the communicators, people like you who help this most helpful and wholely practical learning continue and adapt to different conditions.
With gratitude,

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (80 votes).
In short: Fantastic atmosphere, great scenery.. but badly organised.In full: The organisers seemed totally unprepared for the number of runners. £12 entry fee but no Chip Timing, no portaloos, not enough t-shirts, queues for water at the finish AND it took me 50 minutes to get out of the car park!!!! This is a big event - maybe it's time to get a professional event management company in to run it!Date of review: October 8, 2007
In short: A lovely venue for my first 10k, but let down by poor organisationIn full: As I live 10mins from Clumber I was keen to do this as my first 10k. However, first impressions were that the organisation left something to be desired. There were huge amounts of traffic (to be expected) but no-one dealing with the bottleneck at the Limetree Avenue crossroads. The signage was poor, start positions not very well publicised. It was only by my brother noticing the small signs that I knew where to start from.On the flip side, the scenery was beautiful, really helped with the momentum. All the marshalls were friendly, and other runners seemed to enjoy it. I didn't experience any of the chaos trying to get over the finish line, but I wasn't impressed that I got the last but one cup of water, considering I was by no means one of the last to finish. Also, having pre-booked my t-shirt size, I was told there were none left and mine would have to be posted. I would assume this is due to people entering on the day not being told their shirts were supposed to be posted.I really enjoyed the experience, and ran a good time for my first 10k, and I'll do it again. Let's hope for a bit more organisation next year tho!Date of review: October 8, 2007
In short: Sounds like I was lucky to be near the front at the startIn full: I feel sorry for those who couldn't even get over the finish line and it sounds like anyone from 50mins had a bit of a nightmare. Simple solution would be to have the finish funnel several hundred yards back. I'm surprised with such a large venue that the start/finish area had to be so narrow. Maybe they should limit the numbers (sorry, I was one of those that entered on the day).Saying that it's a great setting and I got a PB!Date of review: October 8, 2007
In short: Beautiful setting, challenging course, good waether - worst finnsh everIn full: Read comments from last yr about the start, in a park this big, Why get such a narrow start BUT NEVER NOT RUN OVER A FINNISH LINE -Finnished in 50 mins had to join the line to cross the finnish line,in a single file, one poor wowman was writing number down - no idea why timing had totally gone, then had to find water and even further the t/shirt. Must improve next yearDate of review: October 7, 2007
In short: Lovely scenery, but the race spoilt by the dodgy finishDate of review: October 7, 2007
In short: Potential for great event . Better planned organisation neededDate of review: October 7, 2007
In short: Good race, lovely location - administration terrible !Date of review: October 7, 2007
In short: Shambles at the finishIn full: As a NT member I should stick up for this but they really do need some help organising this race as the finish was an absolute shambles (56 mins). There are now far too many runners for the 'organisation' to cope with especially as so many seemed to enter on the day. There was a queue to finish, a queue to have numbers recorded (so no chance whatsoever for an accurate record at all), a queue for water and yet another one for t shirts. It's not that there isn't the room as it's an excellent venue but there doesn't seem to be enough planning or thought going in to the finish area at all. Fortuneately the weather was good again so most seemed to take it in good spirit as opposed to having to queue in the rain but I won't be entering again unless numbers are limited, sorry NT!Date of review: October 7, 2007
In short: Shame about the mayhem at the end and no T shirts!In full: My 2nd 10k, enjoyed it and improved my times, but the start and end were chaotic- missed my support team as they missed me cos of all the queueing. Despite booking very early, no T shirts left in my size.When and how do we get the results, and how can they be anything like accurate. Am a total novice, but 5 mins makes a big difference, so dunno what the elite runners must be thinking? Is chip timing- like we had at Sandal Castle 10k too expensive or what?Despite that, has not put me off and enjoyed the run, though not as much camaraderie as I expected.Date of review: October 7, 2007
In short: Terrible organisation Worst EVER Why not learn from Last year?eIn full: The organisation of this race was Very POOR. Toilets not enough for the qty of people. The start at least 5 minutes late.Only the runners at the front could hear what was being said over the loud speakers. Could not hear when the race started. Throughout the race itself the marshalls were friendly. Run was great till the finish.WHY did we have to queue to get over the finish line (A leason not learnt from last year) only to queue Again to have our number collected (By ONE lady) then QUEUE AGAIN for water the to top it all to QUEUE again for 20mins for a T-Shirt which had been Pre-Ordered "Small" only to be told there were none left. Pathetic. I am really angry about this as I always enter early to ensure a T-Shirt that fits. They knew numbers of each size in advance so what's the problem??!! We normally go to the T-Shop for drinks etc but were so disgusted we came straight home. Lovely course and run spoiled by very poor management, even worse than last year which is a very hard thing to do!!!! Pathetic. Date of review: October 7, 2007

- Fit WIC MO FY09 Evaluation: We are nearing the end of our third year of statewide implementation of Fit WIC Missouri, a program to prevent childhood overweight in the WIC community. Each local WIC provider that participated in Fit WIC MO in FY09 is asked to complete the attached evaluation (Table 8). Any agency that wrote a goal, objective, strategy or activity in the FY09 LAP should complete the evaluation. On the attached form, simply check the nutrition and physical activity goals that your agency selected in FY09, report how many participants selected each goal and how many were successful at making the behavior change. Then check which activity to support WIC staff or which community activity your agencies selected, and give a brief report of the results. A few open-ended questions give you the opportunity to tell us what is working well for you and what barriers you are experiencing as you implement Fit WIC MO. Return this electronically to Rita Arni at email@example.com no later than September 30, 2009.
- Updated Message - WIC Operations Manual Policies: The New WIC Operations Manual (WOM) for 2010 will be available sometime in October 2009. Between now and when the WOM is updated we are making the policies available on the Web. With the implementation of MOWINS, it was an opportune time to revise and/or combine WOM policies or delete them if they no longer pertained to our work. Over 90 policies were deleted; over 100 were revised. In addition we had to develop others (about 20). The policies have been approved by USDA. We have sorted these policies as either: New, Revised or Deleted. Where appropriate we have noted which deleted policy was combined into a revised policy. You can do a search for the policy by a keyword or ER number. This will take you to the WOM policy; click on the hyperlink and the policy document will appear. We discovered errors in some of the nutrition policies linked in the list that was attached last week. These errors have been corrected. If you printed any policies, please be sure to compare them to the version that is linked in the attachment. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. If you have questions, please contact your district TA staff.

Tuesday Night - Sweet Rhythm

On the way home from the Jazz Gallery, walking up Seventh Avenue,
used-to-be WBGO night man James Browne pulled me into his club Sweet
Rhythm to see Lezlie Harrison sing. A long time ago, Lezlie hosted the
jazz party on Saturday evenings on WBGO. She's never stopped using that
fine voice, and moved me with her singing and the solos by Luca Tozzi on
guitar and Greg Lewis on organ on "A Lover is Forever," once recorded by
Etta James. I'm going to download Etta right now. Lezlie's drummer is
Luca Santaniello. As I was leaving, Greg was rolling his Hammond out the
door. Musicians work hard and give much! Wish I had photos.

February 16, 2006, is the third anniversary of the public unveiling of NCSE's Project Steve, so it seems like a good time to announce -- with due apologies to the Reverend Pat Robertson and the Christian Broadcasting Network -- NCSE's 700 Club. Yes, with the addition of Stephen A.
The Kansas Association of Teachers of Science issued a response to the state science standards adopted in November 2005 by the state board of education, the Lawrence Journal-World (February 14, 2006) reported. "By redefining science in the Kansas Science Education Standards," the statement reads in part, "the KBOE is promoting intelligent design tenets that purport supernatural explanations as valid scientific theories. ...
House Concurrent Resolution 1043 (RTF), introduced in the Oklahoma legislature on February 7, 2006, would, if enacted, encourage "the State Board of Education and local boards of education to revise the recommended academic curriculum content standards in science to ensure that, upon graduation, all students can accomplish the following: 1. Use of [sic] the scientific method to critically evaluate scientific theories including, but not limited to, the theory of evolution; and 2.
NCSE's Eugenie C. Scott, Wesley R. Elsberry, and Nick Matzke will be in St. Louis, Missouri, for the AAAS annual meeting from February 16 to February 20. Elsberry and Matzke will be staffing NCSE's booth in the exhibit hall, where information about NCSE, and signed copies of Scott's book Evolution vs. Creationism: An Introduction, will be available.
According to early reports [Link broken], the Ohio Board of Education voted 11-4 at its February 14, 2006, meeting to remove both the "Critical Analysis of Evolution" model lesson plan and the corresponding indicator in the state standards. The board's vote follows in the wake of a motion to remove the lesson plan during the board's January meeting, which failed 9-8.

ahhh thanks for the insight and swatches! i love lovejoy blush from nars. it seems dupeable but def worth a try! the shadows are great!!

When I saw the title of your new post I was like uhoh..my wallet and will power might not be strong enough to read this. I'm trying to curb my spending but, recently fell in love with Nars eyeshadows over the Holidays so I didn't need any more temptation. My mom gave me a Nars eyeshadow she wasn't using anymore. It's a very dark green, might be Night Porter. I love it though even more than MAC eyeshadows. I just wish they were cheaper. I only have one Nars lip gloss in Turkish delight which I bought trying to imitate Kim Kardashian's look. I don't find myself reaching for this lip gloss that much. By the way, I've already added Taos blush to my wish list.

I have Taos (and two more I'm too lazy to get up and check the names).
Pretty please do a tutorial on how to apply these really pigmented blushes without looking clownish.

ohhhhh my gawd....
look at all this deeelicious NARS - ever since I got that NARS "makeup your mind book" -- all the how to's in the book showcase using NARS products, so it just makes me want everything NARS!
+ something about the NARS packaging that is just so sexy and sleek - cept I don't like the texture, it gets so yucky in the traincase.
i loooooooooove your HAUL.

Wow, look at all the NARS goodies! You make me wanna try their shadows now...that duo looks so nice!! I didn't see what all the fuss was about with Orgasm at first either, but now it's one of my faves. Thanks for sharing! :)
- January 13, 2009 at 7:41 PM
- suchseductivesilentwine said...
I love love love Nars. Mata Hari is a beautiful blush that gives you a lovely flush. Definitely pigmented so you can layer for darker skintones and use a light hand for the lighter ones.
Their multiples are awesome, I have Copacabana as a highlighter (I was using MAC's Belightful before, Nars is 30x better, the shimmer is finer and it really makes my highlights glow), as well as Orgasm (I use it beneath the powder blush to have depth of color).
As far as lipsticks and lipglosses, you can't go wrong with any, but I recommend Dolce Vita as a natural dusty rose, Funny Face as a bright fucshia, Dragon Girl Velvet Matte Lip Pencil as the most intense red ever, and Sex Machine Velvet Matte Lip Pencil as a beautiful neutral lip.

Oh that collection is so beautiful. It looks like you picked some great stuff. I am also a Nars enthusiast, they make the best blushes!!! I have a couple comparisons of nars,mac, and cargo blushes on my blog http://everyday-rococo.blogspot.com/
check it out!

Great colors.
I'm NC45 in MAC and I love NARS Orgasm it actually shows up on me...I may try Super Orgasm next. Turkish delight is also a pretty pale pink color...I'm sure you'll like it.

Taos looks like a gorgeous blush! I love using Deep Throat for a natural blush with a hint of sparkle, and I love the multiple sticks in St. Barts and Copacabana...I have Greek Holiday gloss, but I reach for it in the summer.

The Most Popular Rooms Of The Week
When a self-proclaimed glamour girl like Ellen Rakieten, a former executive producer of The Oprah Winfrey Show, seeks out a West Coast pied-à-terre, you better believe it's got to have sex appeal. For Rakieten, who now helms her own production company and commutes here weekly from her home in Chicago, only one Los Angeles address would do: Sierra Towers.
Built in 1965, the fabled white high-rise—at 31 stories, it's the tallest in West Hollywood—has floor-to-ceiling windows and spacious terraces with views of Beverly Hills and the Sunset Strip. The tower (despite its name, there is only one) is a celebrity hunter's dream, but paparazzi don't stand a chance against the building's legendary phalanx of doormen and valets. For these reasons, Sierra Towers has over the years been home to Elton John, Cher, Jane Fonda, Joan Collins, Courteney Cox, Vincent Gallo, and Lindsay Lohan, among other stars. "It's a glamorous building, and there aren't a lot of apartments in Los Angeles that are full-service, like you find in New York and Chicago," Rakieten says. "Two weeks ago, I saw Miley Cyrus in the lobby and Ozzy Osbourne on the treadmill."
The living room of television producer Ellen Rakieten's Los Angeles apartment, which was designed by Anne Coyle. A Louis XV–style desk by Baker is paired with a side chair by Jonathan Adler, the 1940s chandelier is Italian, and the mirrored walls and concrete flooring are original to the apartment.
Four years ago, in an article she wrote for ELLE DECOR, Rakieten described decorating her apartment in a 1920s Beaux Arts building in Chicago—a project that was initiated after her friend, decorator Nate Berkus, walked into her master bedroom and questioned why a take-charge media executive was living in a space that looked like, in his words, a "hellhole." She enlisted his help on the spot, along with that of her best friend and next-door neighbor, interior designer Anne Coyle. The home they created for Rakieten, her husband, and her two sons combined her penchant for feminine touches with such family-friendly elements as a guest room–turned–basketball court.
Rakieten on the terrace; the chairs are by Harry Bertoia and the table is by Eero Saarinen.

Delft Dynamics, VSTEP Introduce New UAV Training Concept
Netherlands-based aerospace engineering firm Delft Dynamics introduced its new Universal Simulation Platform for Unmanned Systems (USPvOS) at the Kooy Symposium 2013 in Amsterdam.
The platform enables unmanned systems' ground stations to be linked directly to a virtual incident management simulator using high level architecture (HLA), allowing for real-time visualization of an unmanned aerial vehicle's (UAV) behavior for training purposes.
The USPvOS is compatible with RescueSim, a virtual incident management simulator developed by VSTEP, which allows training for emergency services in a 3D virtual environment.
Through the use of modular hardware, RescueSim becomes fully interoperable with the UAV ground station control system, which allows Delft's USPvOS to be linked to any unmanned system for training purposes.
"Interfacing RescueSim with the Delft Dynamics UAV simulation platform opens up a new opportunity for efficient and cost effective training of UAV operators. The HLA compliancy is a logical next step for our RescueSim platform," said Sebastiaan Otten, manager of development at VSTEP.
