We are putting a shower in our basement that will have a shower head on the right wall as you walk in and 3 body jets on the left as you walk in. The doorway you walk thru will have a glass hinged door. There is going to be a 9 inch 'overhang' above the door that drops down from the ceiling level. Should the door have a gap between the top of the door and the bottom of that overhang or can it go to the surface so when the door is closed it is almost like being in a box (little gap for steam to escape). Also, it is tile surface. Should There be a fan inside or a vent to let the steam out? What is a good setup for that? The shower is 4ft by 4ft and will have 10gal per minute of water from the jets.

The Western Force ended their six-match Super Rugby winless streak when they beat the Lions 17-11 in Perth on Saturday.
The Western Force ended their six-match winless streak when they beat the Lions 17-11 in their Super Rugby clash in Perth on Saturday.
It was easy to see why these two teams are languishing at the foot of the table as this encounter was a poor spectacle filled with handling errors and dismal finishing from both sides.
The Lions opened the scoring, as early as the fourth minute, when Michael Killian rounded off in the left-hand corner after running onto a perfectly-timed inside pass from Andries Coetzee.
Elton Jantjies failed to convert but he extended his team's lead with a penalty in the 12th minute before Ben Seymour struck back with a place-kick of his own ten minutes later.
The rest of the half was a frenetic affair as both teams ran the ball from all areas of the field but poor finishing meant that neither side added to their points tally and the visitors held a slender five point lead at the interval.
The second half belonged entirely to the Force as they were camped inside the Lions' half for long periods.
Their efforts were rewarded in the 58th minute when their captain David Pocock scored their first try, under a mass of bodies, after barging over from close quarters.
The Force continued to dominate and were given a further boost when Lions flanker Derick Minnie was given his marching orders for a professional foul in the 69th minute.
With the Force on the attack, close to the halfway line, Minnie failed to roll away from a ruck and referee Garratt Williamson was left with no option but to send the loose forward to the sin bin.
This gave the men in blue the upper-hand and they made full use of their numerical advantage.
Shortly afterwards their Fijian wing Napolioni Nalaga gathered the ball at a ruck, close to the visitors' try-line, and brushed aside four defenders before dotting down. As with Pocock's effort Ben Seymour added the extra two points.
An injury time penalty from replacement back Ruan Combrinck meant the Lions received a bonus-point for losing by less than seven points but few will argue that the hosts deserved this victory.
The scorers:
For Western Force:
Tries: Pocock, Nalaga
Cons: Seymour 2
Pen: Seymour
For Lions:
Try: Killian
Pens: Jantjies, Combrinck

Forest Service warns of landslides on the Manti
Landslides, slumping, and rock falls are common on the Manti-La Sal National Forest, and this year's heavy snowfall and summer rains have resulted in more slides than usual. Several roads and trails have been closed in recent weeks due to slides. "People traveling on the forest need to be prepared for the eventuality that a slide may block their way," said Sanpete District Ranger Jeff Gardner. "A recent slide trapped cars uphill for a couple of hours until it could be cleared and the road opened."
The following conditions warn of slide activity. If you notice any of them in your vicinity, "don't delay, move away."
A sudden increase or decrease in water flow, or a change from clear to muddy flow along a stream or channel.

Love these shoes
"I got these shoes in black and they are great for the holidays. They add sparkle and glam to whatever you are wearing. Looking at them on my feet they actually look like pumps. They run a tad narrow which I am always looking for and I did add a comfort cushion. They make my skinny feet happy feet!"

|In response to Re: Need your opinion on my layout
Did a little digging around and it appears we are both right (sort of). The NSPC and IPC allow horizontal wet vents, while the UPC does not. My region follows the NSPC so I think I would be ok with horizontal vent connections (if they are wet vents). I think I still have to change the vent connections for the tub and shower though.
: To follow up on your point about vents coming out horizontally, what about wet vents? I have seen schematics where the vent for the toilet is actually the drain for the lavatory, where both drains connect horizontally, and then the vent comes off the lavatory drain further back. It seems like the wet part of the vent can be horizontal. Is this an exception to the horizontal venting exclusion?
: :
: : I'd recommend you consult with a plumber at this point for a better layout, but if it were me, I'd probably do the following. Stud out the wall behind the toilet as your wet wall. It looks like you've got enough room in the long dimension that losing 6" isn't going to be a deal-killer. Extend the new 4" stack up into that wall and don't offset over to the roof vent until you're at least 6" above the lav (in the attic would work, too). Vent the shower and toilet with a vertical vents in the wet wall, from the fixture drains to the vent offset above. As long as the fixtures are properly vented, you can tie them into a single 3" drain that runs where you show the horizontal 4" line under the floor, then into the stack with a wye.
: : The lav will need a fixture vent of its own--even if you could tie its drain into the stack above the point where the other combined drains tie in, the lav is going to be too far from the stack to use the stack for venting.
: : If it were me, I'd turn the tub around and plumb two walls instead of three; you still have to vent both the lav and tub, but at least they could share a common drain. If you keep the tub where it is, you'll have to make the drain-to-vent connection in or close enough to the wall to tie the vent in vertically.
: : Hope this helps. Good luck.

Both Drover basketball teams felt the disappointment of a loss after their battles against Lubbock Christian University on Saturday afternoon in Chickasha.
Freshman Phillip Harris had one of his best games, hitting half his field goal and three point attempts and becoming the team's highest scorer with 18 points. In addition to his points, he had five assists.
Anthony Turner had the most rebounds with eight and also had 12 points and two assists.
The Drovers shot a 31.7 percent and had 13 turnovers. They lost with a final score of 69-56. They fall to 4-10 overall and 2-7 in the Sooner Athletic Conference.
The Lady Drovers also competed against Lubbock Christian University on Saturday afternoon, losing the game 63-54.
Charitie Lewis stayed consistent, earning 23 points, six rebounds and one assist for the Drovers. Aita Gueye had the team's most rebounds with seven.
It was the fouls that hurt the Lady Drovers on Saturday. They had 22 personal fouls, compared to the Lady Chaps' 14, and LCU made more than three-quarters of their free throws.
The women fall to an overall record of 3-14 and to 1-8 in the conference.
The Drovers won't play at home again until Jan. 28 against Mid-America Christian University. They take on John Brown University on Thursday in Arkansas.

Before dawn on a cold, drizzly weekend morning, few things are worth waking up for, but it's not every day I get the chance to see an owl. Tomorrow, I'll rise and shine for the early morning shift of The Big Sit, a day-long bird watching event held at Fields Pond in Holden, home of Maine Audubon's Penobscot Valley Chapter.
Last summer when we moved from Boston to Bangor, the northern terminus of civilization, we hoped to become outdoorsy. Neither of us spent much time in the woods growing up; mine was a beach-going, sleeping-under-rooves kind of family, while exploring untamed mountains in southern California meant Rod had to carry a handgun, to defend against cougars and fugitives.
We're already becoming more earthy-crunchy: we've learned how to camp, eat fiddleheads, and tell a fir tree from a spruce. We joined Maine Audubon to learn more about the plants and animals in the Maine woods. They put on lots of interesting programs at the Fields Pond Center. I've learned about bird photography, seabird conservation, and badass raptors that'll steal and eat your cat.
Precision, though, has never been my strong suit. I do not know a black-capped chickadee from a Carolina, a herring gull from a glaucous, or even a crow from a raven. Categorizing and counting, though important for tracking and protecting species, doesn't interest me. I am a lazy and forgetful birdwatcher, content to be outside, gazing at the little guys while allowing them to carry on in anonymity.
Thus, the comprehensive list of Birds I Know on Sight:1. Blue Jay
2. Cardinal
3. Pigeon
4. Great Blue Heron
5. Arctic Tern
6. Mallard Duck*
7. Peacock
8. Bald Eagle
9. Puffin
10. Ostrich
11. Flamingo
12. Penguin (Emperor, Chinstrap, and Rockhopper)
13. Toucan
14. Chicken*
15. Turkey*
16. Canada Goose

Serious birder or not, anyone sitting outside at 6am needs hot coffee and a muffin. To my basic muffin recipe, I added shredded carrot and orange zest. The result is a fluffy, wholesome nod to carrot cake with a touch of citrus zing that'll knock the sleep out of your eyes.
Except for the cup of sugar, these muffins are fairly healthy. Applesauce replaces most of the oil, and whole wheat pastry flour provides fiber without weighing the muffins down.
Carrot-Orange Muffins1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 cup rice milk
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon ground flax seed
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange peel, lightly packed
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1 cup shredded carrot (2 medium)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1 tablespoon toasted wheat germ (optional)
Preheat oven to 350F. Line a muffin tray with paper liners or oil the cups.
In a large bowl, whisk together oil, applesauce, rice milk, vinegar, flax seed, water, vanilla extract, and orange peel until well combined.
In a large bowl sift together the flours, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and combine, without over-mixing. Stir in the shredded carrot and walnuts.
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Sprinkle wheat germ on top of each muffin.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are browned and a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin comes out clean. Remove the muffins from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
Makes 12.
Variation: substitute one mashed banana for the flax seed and water for even fruitier muffins.

Bruno's Gone to the Birds
RAY: This puzzler came in from Bill Denlinger-and I didn't have to obfuscate, unclarify, or debogosify it.
Here it is:
"My cousin Bruno put up a bird feeder in his yard. It was nothing fancy, just a flat board, with raised edges--kind of like a shallow cigar box, with the lid removed, so the food wouldn't fall off.
"As Bruno sat in his recliner in the living room, watching the birds come and go, he noticed a peculiar thing. On some days, the birds would all fly into the feeder from the north. On other days, they would fly in from the south, and on some, they seemed to fly in from all directions. The birds weren't tagged and Bruno didn't know anything about them, but they appeared to be the same birds."
TOM: They could have been relatives.
RAY: Maybe. Anyway … "Bruno wondered why the birds didn't fly into the feeder from the same direction, but seemed to have this peculiar behavior.
"He couldn't explain it, until one day he noticed something while he was outside, filling up the feeder.
"And he said, 'Ah ha!'"
What did Bruno discover?
Think you know? Drop Ray a note!

Skip to comments.Dan Rather: Obama's Opponents 'Want to Cut His Heart Out and Throw His Liver to the Dogs'
Posted on 05/05/2013 9:00:58 AM PDT by Sub-Driver
Dan Rather: Obama's Opponents 'Want to Cut His Heart Out and Throw His Liver to the Dogs' By Noel Sheppard Created 05/05/2013 - 11:28am
Dan Rather on Sunday once again made a comment about President Obama's opponents that some might find a bit over the top.
Appearing on the syndicated Chris Matthews Show, Rather said, "These people politically want to cut his heart out and throw his liver to the dogs" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
DAN RATHER: All of these things weve said about what the president could do, should do, might have, could have, but the central thing to keep in mind is his opponents - you talk about taking them out to dinner, making nice with them - these people politically want to cut his heart out and throw his liver to the dogs. That does make it very, very difficult to come on nice to them.
CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Yeah, it causes indigestion over dinner dont you think?
KATTY KAY, BBC: Is that what they do in Texas Dan?
MATTHEWS: By the way, Im with you Dan because I dont know how much, I do think he doesn't enjoy the company of his fellow politicians. Excuse me, Mr. President, youre one of them.
For those that have forgotten, Rather made the same comment on the Chris Matthews Show back in November 2010.
Wouldn't you say that's a bit of an overstatement?
More importantly, hasn't the President since the day he was first inaugurated treated his opponents with the same disdain?
Liberal media members rarely consider that.
Works for me.
Why sicken good dogs?
With sow fave beans and a nice chianti.
I'm not sure about the dogs part
what heart?
Animal abuse. Like giving them anti-freeze in their water bowl.
I think Dan and Joe Biden should have a talk show, that would be a hoot.
Response: Not quite accurrate. Not interested in just the heart and liver. Try the entire creture. In addition, not just the dogs but also the fowls of the air.
Understatement for me. I rather like the idea of him being struck by lightning on a clear day, and his roasted flesh consumed by dogs. But maybe I'm not ready to host a show on MSNBC...
Look what he did to Chris Stevens, and Stevens was on his side.
Why dogs? Why not RATS?
Projecting much Dan?
Dan Rather, always the drama queen.
News to me that the Marxist has a heart.
Thanks, Dan.
Projection. That's what he wanted to do the GWB, except all he could manage was to try and eviscerate him with some fake documents. FAIL!
Gee Dan,
I want to outlive clinton to piss on his grave; with der Fuehrer I want to outlive him and defile the corpse.
You got it pretty close.
Oh, that's right Obama and Holder, fellow DemoRats are in office.
I think if you consider the American people his Opponent then yes you are right commie Dan..I would change one thing and feed his liver to the pigs..
It's simply not true. The Rev. Jessie Jackson was caught on air saying he wanted to "cut Obama's nuts off". No heart or liver even mentioned.
That's the proper response I was looking for - "pigs".
Jesse Jackson wanted to cut his nuts off.
Looks like someone already beat him to it.
Hell no!
I wouldn't do that to the dogs!
Besides, the predator-prey relationship is reversed in his case...
I would not treat my dogs so badly.
Oh and Dan, besides the fact you attempted to do
the same to GW, it's because Obama is destroying
the heart of our nation for that he should be
thrown to PIGS.
And his kidneys to the badgers!
Isn't this what Rather wanted to do to GWB?
Incidents like Benghazi continually remove all doubt.
Not what he said.
He said: nuts out.
Uh, no, Dan. We just want the media to hold Obama to the same standards that Bush was.
Dan Rather, perennial suck up.
Obama does have enemies that would do that. Just not who Rather is thinking of.
The Taliban, Iran, and Al Qaeda would happily do that to Obama, literally. And throw acid on his daughters for the crime of attending school.
Rather is afraid of the wrong people. Fool.
Appearing on the syndicated Chris Matthews Show......Rather projected onto "Obama's opponents" his own hostility toward former Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush, while revealing that he watched "Shakespeare In Love" on disk the night before.
"Dan Rather: Obama's Opponents 'Want to Cut His Heart Out and Throw His Liver to the Dogs'"
The dogs would say turnabout is fair play.
dfwgator ~ Looks like someone already beat him to it.
Saudi Arabia has no race problem today because historically the arabs preferred their black slaves castrated.
One could argue they still do today...
What's The Frequency Kenneth?
Interesting nuance. Cutting them off means that there is something to cut off. Cutting the out means they never developed in the first place.
For those that have forgotten, Rather made the same comment on the Chris Matthews Show back in November 2010.Forgotten? No one was watching then, either.
You know, like what ol' Danny boy wanted to do to Bush.
Because it's a dish best serve cold for BHO's eating dog meat during his Indonesia days?
Dan that's called "projecting".
My 93yo German mother warned me about letting my emotions get the best of my rationing and reasoning as it happened in her own country. Success is the best 'revenge', she says.
I keep a close eye on Obama, but I can't waste my energy with useless emotion. I am seeking success besides his best efforts to destroy this country. But imho, the real enemy is the fools who support his agenda. They are legion.
Ever notice how violent liberals are in their fantasies and metaphors? They attribute violence and such to conservatives, but it seems to me they are projecting.
would never abuse my dogs like that....
The key thing to remember is that when they speak, they are projecting.
Liberals think if this stuff first, which implies mirroring.

'A magisterial excavation of black Britain...every student in the country should read it. ', - Christina Patterson, The Independent
Essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the long and fascinating history of black people in the British Isles, The Oxford Companion to Black British History explores the subject from its beginnings in Roman times to the present day. From African auxiliaries stationed on Hadrian's Wall in the 2nd century AD, through John Edmonstone, who taught taxidermy to Charles Darwin, Mary Seacole, the 'Black Florence Nightingale', and Walter Tull, footballer and First World War officer, to our own day, the OCBBH provides detailed timeline charts and key dates for people and events. Key concepts such as Emancipation and Reparations are examined, while a unique collection of articles are brought together to provide readers with a comprehensive overview of the black presence in Britain, and the rich and diverse contribution it has made to British society. It will appeal to a wide readership including university academics, A-level and undergraduate students, and teachers, as well as to general readers with an interest in Black British history. The publication is also particularly timely: the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority highlighted in their annual report of December 2005 the need to give more attention to the wider teaching of black history.
This book is edited by the prize-winning novelist and noted academic David Dabydeen, together with respected scholars John Gilmore and Cecily Jones, and written by more than 100 specialists.

WSU Tri-Cities professor to receive distinguished service award
A Washington State University Tri-Cities professor is recognized by the WSU system statewide for his work to prepare students for college.
Eric Johnson is receiving the college's 2013 Martin Luther King Jr. Distinguished Service Award.
Johnson is the assistant professor of bilingual and English as a second language education.
He recruits, supports and educates first generation students and non-native English-speaking students.
He even meets with students at home and leads language development sessions at early outreach programs for college.
"They know that I'm there for them, that their teachers are, and I'm really confident that those students will have the open path and be able to take advantage of it" said Johnson.
Johnson will be recognized on Thursday at WSU Pullman during the 2013 Martin Luther King Jr. community celebration.

Mistakes continue in Iraq
While it was the sinister administration of men like G.W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and the rest of that gang that got us into the mess in Iraq, we continue to make mistakes. The war in Iraq was illegal and never should have happened. But our mishandling of things after we invaded Iraq continue to this day. There is no easy solution, but the bumbling in Washington, out of ignorance, continues.
Yes, we have a certain obligation in Iraq. We lost thousands of American lives, we spent trillions of dollars there, and things look as though they are not getting better, they are getting worse. As many Americans, my heart bleeds for the American men and women who were killed or maimed in the war in Iraq. That illegal war will stay to haunt us for years to come. What to do?
I could paint several scenarios that might help the situation. But first we must get the current Shia leaders in Iraq to wake up and stop their stupid, selfish actions. They are trying in every way possible to get vengeance for years of the Sunni dictatorship of Saddam Hussein. While the Sunnis are a minority in Iraq, they are a very large minority. They are clearly aware of how they have been mistreated by the current regime in Baghdad.
We wanted to bring democracy to Iraq. Look what we got. We got a Shia government elected that has ignored most of the requirements of the large minority, the Sunnis. With open elections, the Shia will win national elections. But they cannot ignore the large minority, the Sunnis.
Our European allies must join us in sitting down with the current Shia leadership in Baghdad and demand that the government allow for more freedom for the Sunnis and fairer treatment. This must be done directly, not pulling any punches. The Shia leadership must be made to understand that their nation is imploding, and Shia heads will role as Sunnis seek their revenge.
We must also sit down with the Sunnis and get them to understand that their current violent reaction is self-defeating. Currently, they think they are winning. They are not. And if Iran enters on the side of the Shia, it could be disastrous in more ways than one.
Adding to the problem are the ego-inflated Kurds who now see more independence for themselves. This has been a long standing desire of the Kurds. I believe a scenario could be worked out in which the Kurds would agree to a federated Iraq with the Kurds having autonomy in their own geographic area.
The George W. Bush administration has put Obama in a terrible situation in more ways than one. But excuses now serve nobody. Action must be taken immediately. We must convene the necessary meetings with the Shia, Sunni, and Kurdish leadership. We cannot hedge of this, and those groups must be made to understand our serious intent.

The flash-sale site also offers free returns and launches an online holiday catalog.
Zak Stambor
Daily deal operator Groupon Inc., which is now selling merchandise as well as vouchers, is moving to match the holiday offers of rival e-retailers with its launch of free shipping and free returns for its flash-sale site Groupon Goods.
The free shipping offer applies to U.S. and Canadian orders that cost at least $15 before tax. Large, oversized items that weigh more than 150 pounds, are longer than 105 inches, have a girth larger than 165 inches or are delivered via special carriers are excluded from the free shipping offer, Groupon says. Those large, oversized items are also ineligible for free returns. Shoppers can return other unused items within 14 days of purchase.
"The holidays are a time for giving but no one wants to give half their budget to pay for shipping," says Faisal Masud, head of Groupon Goods. "We're happy to alleviate some stress and help shoppers stretch their dollars with the debut of free shipping for purchases over $15, just in time for gifting season."
Groupon also launched two online holiday catalogs—one for toys and the other for more general gifts. Groupon will refresh the items featured in the catalog Friday. Those offers will remain live through Nov. 22. Groupon did not immediately say what would happen after that.
More than 4.3 million shoppers have bought physical products via Groupon Goods since launching in September 2011, the company says.

SO hot but too big!
"After reading reviews, I made the mistake of ordering a half size up due to the width issue (this has worked for me in the past...especially with pointy shoes). I don't usually order wide, but my feet are definitely not narrow. Well, 8 1/2 is not giving me any problems in the width area, but the strap is falling off my foot. Now, size 8 isn't even available anymore. I am shoe sad:( These things are GORGEOUS and look super hot on!"

Cute shoe, wishing they had an adjustable strap
"I bought these online and they are a very cute. I love the color and the style but they need an adjustable buckle strap (not the elastic extender strap). The shoe itself fits like a true 8 but the elastic strap is too loose. I wore these to work once and the strap would not stay on my heel, which is incredibly annoying. I tried to exchange these for a 7.5 but they did not have them available in that size and color. I'm keeping the pair and adding an adjustable strap because I really do like everything else about these shoes."

Students at St. Francis frosted cupcakes as part of a science lesson.
"The more hands-on experiments you give them, the more interest you build in their science inquiry. They may not even realize what they're doing is science," said Principal Darin Pollard.
The 4th through 8th graders are in STEM Summer Camp, learning science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
The cupcake project is a lesson in technical writing.
"Maybe something very simple that we thought everybody could do, but if you don't get your explanations down, and then you have to implement it the way that you wrote it, you might have problems if you didn't get the details down," said Pollard.
These skills are becoming the new focus for schools across the country.
The U.S. Department of Commerce estimates that STEM jobs will grow by 17% between 2008 and 2018.
The worry is filling those positions.
"We need to realize how vital it is, and how there will be millions of programming jobs, but not millions of people to program," said teacher Joanne Bateman.
A recent study says that 3.7 million jobs in the U.S. are unclaimed, partly because businesses can't find qualified workers.
So, instructors at St. Francis are trying to prepare students at an early age.
"It's more of a constructivist idea, where they're developing their own knowledge of the science which is really neat because they have fun first," said Bateman.
"I'm hoping that these students will be able to take these experiments and ideas home and expand upon them, expand upon their knowledge, and expand their interest," said Pollard.
Bateman hopes the students will find some passion.
"I hope they gain a love of science. I want them to understand that science is not scary. It's fun," she said.
Something fun for now that hopefully leads to a strong workforce in the future.
Instructors hope to make the camp two weeks long next year, and eventually make it a school-wide course.

Every weekday morning during the 9:00 hour, NEPR's Big Classical Show helps get the day off to a rousing start with an overture, a prelude or some other kind of curtain-raiser. In the years since we've started doing this, perhaps it has struck you, as it has me, that many of the most exciting such pieces come from the vast, diverse world of "light" music theater — opera buffa , opéra-comique, Singspiel, operetta and our own musical comedy. What's the difference between and among them? Let's take a quick look at each genre, one or two at a time, over a few blog posts.
Oldest of them, and the one with greatest influence on the others, is the Italian opera buffa ("comic opera"), so-called to distinguish it from the loftier opera seria (you can translate that one yourself). Breaking off as a separate operatic genre sometime in the early 18th century, your basic early buffa centered around a pair of straight (i.e,. non-comic), often artistocratic, lovers, with the funny stuff provided by lower-born characters singing in local dialect. Think the Marx Brothers clowning behind Kitty Carlisle and Allan Jones in A Night at the Opera , and you get the basic idea. Or you might find an "upstairs-downstairs" setup, with pompous aristocrats getting their comeuppance at the hands of their saucy servants — Giovanni Battista Pergolesi's La serva padrona ("The Servant Girl as Mistress"), more about which in a later post, is a perfect example. While increasingly popular through the 1700's all over Italy, the buffa really took hold by mid-century in Venice, where the comedies of the great dramatist Carlo Goldoni served as the model and subject matter for a generation of now mostly-forgotten composers.
[Eminently skippable explanatory digression: While we most commonly hear the term opera buffa when applied to Italian comic operas, other terms for antecedent, variant or near-identical genres also got slapped on other examples — terms such as intermezzo (a small-scale buffa insterted between the acts of a larger serious opera), dramma giocoso ("comic drama," the term favored by Goldoni) and plain old commedia. End of digression.]
Sung throughout, with recitative ("sung speech") between the musical numbers, these comic operas, as they grew in size and stature, often featured at the end of each act an extended ensemble piece in which all participants took part, each character adding to the hilarity and to the musical texture. Want to hear a great example? It's right there in the Act II finale of Mozart's Le nozze di Figaro , one of the most magnificent passages of music theater ever composed, as much a delight the hundredth time as the first. Well, not only were this and Mozart's other collaborations with librettist Lorenzo da Ponte (Don Giovanni* and Così fan tutte) the crowning glories of the opera buffa , they were getting pretty close to the end of the genre's history. Only Rossini's Il barbiere di Siviglia and Donizetti's two comic masterworks, L'elisir d'amore and Don Pasquale , are worthy follow-ups to Mozart's immortal trilogy. I guess the Romantics preferred tears and tragedy to laughter.

I would slaughter thousands of puppies for Heidi Klum's body.ReplyCancel
whoa, did not see that angle of Christina before this. EEEk. From the front she looked good….
I love Gwen. What the hell was Kiebler doing there? Or Ginnifer Goodwin? Or Heidi Klum? Or Jenny McCarthy???ReplyCancel
YUCK to every dress except Taylor Swift's. Pink's is okay, but it just doesn't look right on her.ReplyCancel
I normally reserve commenting on Xtina's weight, because I think if we saw her in person, she would look "normal," not fat. But she needs to start dressing in a way that is more flattering to her shape. I can practically hear that picture beeping as she backs up!ReplyCancel
If Christina would just stop with the televangelist wife makeup and bleached mop and orange skin, she'd look decent.ReplyCancel
Those shoes look pretty bad on Hayden P's frame.ReplyCancel
I'm going to cut Christina some slack and say they caught her at a bad angle. The dress isn't so bad and the hair is nice.
Taylor can dress her tail off, gotta give her that.
Pink's dress is great, but agree it doesn't seem to suit her. She and Carrie should have traded. Pink can pull off the avant-garde space jumper suit look that Carrie went with.ReplyCancel
I agree with you completely, VIP. Plus your last line made me choke on my tea. Well, played.
I'm starting to think that no matter what Carrie Underwood wears, it's going to look boring because Carrie Underwood is wearing it.
We are getting to watching a very interesting case of progressive desperation in the form of Jenny McCarthy.ReplyCancel
Christina is finally wearing clothes that are actually her size, but that dress is not flattering. She would look so perfect if she would let both her hair and her skin go back to their natural color and texture. She could rock a curvy diva like we haven't seen in decades.ReplyCancel
Da,m didn't think Christina could look worse tha. She did during her performance. Stacy kiebler and Heidi klum look like sistersReplyCancel
Shame on you, Vicki – lol.
And hey! Look! It's Clooney's girlfriend getting some publicity she wouldn't otherwise get if she wasn't his girlfriend!
Love Taylor's dress.
God – who dresses Carrie Underwood? That's a short prom dress!
And Christina dear, more power to you for being whatever weight you want to be, but you've got to stop dressing like yo're still a size 2. It doesn't work.ReplyCancel
Your people's idea of "too skinny" shocks me sometimes. Hayden's legs look AMAZING and healthy.ReplyCancel
Lol @jolene, totally agree with how easily that gets tossed around here. I think she looks good too. She was more muscular before but that's the only difference I notice.ReplyCancel
Taylor's dress is lovely, yes. But go Google "Taylor Swift Red Carpet" and you'll see that the nudish toned dress is her uniform. Mix it up, woman!
I like Christina's dress. All of the other stuff going on in that photo I'm not too sure about.
Heidi can still get away with that so GODSPEED to her.
Jenny's dress looks better on television.
Carrie's dress is an unfortunate choice.
Hayden has, IMO, dropped the weight she was asked to gain for Nashville. She looks pretty good.
Taylor looks great. If u r 20 something WHY NOT show your legs of that's what u want to do. She looks cute.
Pink looks matronly, but if she likes it…….ReplyCancel
Christina's pic actually looks photoshopped to meReplyCancel
I agree with the commentary so far about Christina. I think she is finally dressing for the size that she is and it is a good step in the right direction.
I like Heidi and Taylor's dresses. If you got, flaunt it. 🙂ReplyCancel
Kiebler's fame whoring obvious. Why on earth was she there?
Pink looks awesome. As much as I dislike Taylor Swift she looked great.ReplyCancel
That's not amusing. At all.ReplyCancel
I am getting a very strong Mrs. Roper vibe off Xtina.ReplyCancel
Good on Christina for embracing her curves, but yes, the tan and horrible hair turn this into a disaster. The ultra blonde Cleopatra cut/wig/weave is just NOT flattering. But I think she loves the drag look, and will never tone it down or look more natural.
Hayden looks good with the weight loss, but her face looks different…is it just the weight loss, or has she had work done? She's giving me a Courtney Stodden vibe in that photo. :/ReplyCancel
Someone please hire a stylist for Carrie Underwood. That dress is hideously promishReplyCancel
"And Christina dear, more power to you for being whatever weight you want to be, but you've got to stop dressing like yo're still a size 2. It doesn't work."
This, exactly. Most of us know how to cover up/camouflage/drape over our flaws, so that we don't look hideous and scare members of the general public.ReplyCancel

A recent post by Bongi and our upcoming July 4th has had me thinking about our Civil War. More accurately the fact that I am very glad that my country is still a united country.
My husband is a Civil War buff. In fact for his 40th birthday, we had a "period" dinner party at Marlsgate Plantation. We all dressed in Civil War period clothing. Some friends (a husband and wife) who did re-enacting helped outfit us all. She helped us women with our hair and jewelry. He brought his banjo and played for us after dinner. It was a wonderful evening. At the end of this post you will find some photos from that night.
My husband's fascination with the Civil War is the guns (the actual machinery, engineering, etc), the battles and strategy. None of that matters to me. The reading I tend to gravitate towards regarding that time period focuses on the home front, the ones left to tend the farms and keep the communities going. It is a period in America's history when many soldiers died, but so did many civilians. Most of the battles and therefore the destruction of homes and farms took place in the south. Both armies were unkind in how they conscripted (took, commandeered, stole)supplies, often taking the last chicken or cow from a family. Yes, the soldiers were starving, but so were the civilians. And often the civilian was killed (or if female, raped and then killed) if they resisted and tried to save that last cow so their children would have milk. Anyway.........
I won't/don't downplay the slavery issue, but another major reason for the war was the struggle over state versus federal rule. Because of the Civil War, it doesn't really matter that California passes a state law legalizing medical marijuana. The federal law supercedes the state law.
Recently this played out again with the Supreme Court ruling that it is not legal to use the death penalty for rape, even of a child. So the federal ruling overturns the state.
Many states struggle with the right (or wish to cancel that right) of legal abortion. The federal law supersedes the states. States try to find way around this. We as a country manage to do this by peaceful (mostly) means these days. New laws are passed and then challenged in court. Much ranting is done in blogs/letters to the newspaper and not by violence (mostly--I know there are still some clinic bombings).
Then there is the struggle of personal versus state/federal rights. In medicine, we are touched by this in struggles with the right to die (think Terri Schiavo).
The struggles continue. The push, the pull. We don't always agree on what is right. I don't think a pharmacist should have the right to NOT sell a drug that that federal/state laws say are legal for me to write a prescription and the patient to take. Still that is a current struggle.
I love that in this country we can disagree with each other, and at the same time still respect others rights to be different from us. I love that we can hold an election and have a change in the White House without riots in the street. I know we Americans are not perfect, but I still love my country and its people.
Happy Birthday America!
A Few Book Recommendations:
Civil War Women, the Civil War seen through women's eyes in stories by Louisa May Alcott and others; edited by Frank McSherry Jr, Charles G Waugh, and Martin Greenberg
Yankee Women, Gender Battles in the Civil War by Elizabeth D Leonard
Women in the Civil War by Mary Elizabeth Massey
The Civil War Diary Quilt: 121 Stories and the Quilt Blocks They Inspired by Rosemary Youngs
Pattern Source:
This is my husband, Brett Herndon, and I (1996). I made his uniform (the vest and pants you see and a jacket) and shirt. I also made my dress. Thank God the sewing machine had been invented. I did the button holes by hand (to be authentic, as my husband put it).
Buddy and Brenda McCutcheon. They were also into re-enacting. She actually helped "dress" all the ladies and did our hair so that we would look like we were from the 1860's.
Our neighbors and friends, Amy and Bill Gatewood. Don't they look like they just stepped out of the past?
Letica and Ralph White. We were a "civil" party with both sides represented.
Raymond and Caroline Boyles. Raymond has gone to a few re-enactments with Brett.
Jay and Vickie Morgan. His pants are a little short because they were my husband's. Still I think they both look wonderful.

Skip to comments.Word for the Day, Monday, December 3, 2012--scurrilous
Posted on 12/03/2012 5:06:22 AM PST by xsmommy
Word For The Day, Monday, 12/3/12
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".
scurrilous; adj.
1. grossly or obscenely abusive or defamatory 2. characterized by gross or obscene humour
[C16: from Latin scurrīlis derisive, from scurra buffoon] Synonyms 1. vituperative, insulting, offensive. 2. vulgar
Etymology: "using such language as only the licence of a buffoon can warrant" [Johnson], 1576, from scurrile "coarsely joking" (1508, implied in scurrility), from L. scurrilis "buffoonlike," from scurra "fashionable city idler," later "buffoon." According to Klein, "an Etruscan loan-word."
Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the Word for the Day in a sentence.
The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Here is my example with WFTD.
It is the season for atheists to loudly mount their scurrilous attacks on Christmas. Buffoons is a good word for them.

Review Thread Three: Word For The Day, Tuesday 1/28/03: Obdurate
No pushing at the door please!
Good morning. I was out past my "bedtime" at a wedding last night. I can't believe I am up this morning. I am feeling sluggishly smug.
.......at least his minions are happy with this, while we approach the fiscal cliff.
I supposes Syracuse would have thought it scurrilous had they been "passed over" for Pitt in the Pinstripe Bowl.
I still think they missed a chance for a great bowl game.
September eleventh, 2012, a date on which the leader of the free world showed his hindmanship and scurrilously scurried away from responsibility like a squirrel scampering among the scattered leaves.
This one is too easy. Scurrilous: brings to mind the behavior of the Obama Administration both before and after the recent election.
Your village looks like a Currier and Ives print!
The fiscal cliff looming is perilous
But Obama's solutions are nebulous
Deflect, cheat, and lie
Is how he gets by
Each attack on republicans, scurrilous
seriously? that's not photoshopped? good grief. A+++
what were the possibilities? i didn't follow it. I know SU is going to the Pinstripe bowl, i thought Pitt was going to that bowl, but xshub said SU is playing WVU?
A father and daughter in their holiday finery headed to Cotillion for the Holly Ball.
now i KNOW that's got to be photoshopped or airbrushed, bc i KNOW upstate NY! LOL!!!
A+++ and he's getting away with it, which is what drives me absolutely insane.
A+++ and there is no mistaking that he is her father, bc she looks exactly like him!!
And is there any mistaking that that is Richmond, VA. Where else in this country would there be a program called "Cotillion" where 13 year old girls wear white gloves?
During the Primaries, I had my own theories as to the origins of the scurrilous attacks on the more conservative Republican Candidates.
that was a fine looking birthday cake, though i couldn't figure out why it said David and not SOOTHER ; ) did you have a good bday? i enjoyed myself on your bday. The girls and i went to King of Prussia to shop, had lunch there, and then went on down to the U of Delaware for xsboy's game. They were stomped by the Blue Hens, 7-0, but it was still good to be able to see one of his games. Avg age of player on the DE team is 22, since their freshmen have generally played two years of junior hockey before going to college, so they were all huge and way older than the SU squad. the hens also won the championship last year, so it wasn't terribly surprising. it was a 5 hour bustrip each way for the team. We sat a few rows behind the SU bench and had to inhale that stench for the duration of the game which is three 20 min periods, just like the NHL.
Yes, SU plays WVU. Pitt is going to the same bowl for the third year in a row.
The Pinstripe Bowl had the rights to the 4th place Big East team (or to pick 4th, anyway). There was talk that they might choose #5 Pitt to get a Backyard Brawl Bowl. There's a storyline and you know the teams will be up for a contest. No need to manufacture hype.
But the bowl probably thought they'd sell more tickets to a NY team and wanted to stay in their pecking order.
I think it sucks, but it's their choice.
Kids at xsbaby's HS do Cotillion, so it's not restricted to Richmond, it's a suthren thing i guess. Being from Pittsburgh, i never saw the point of it : )
i love a backyard brawl! i wish it had been Pitt.
and Gonzaga beat Georgetown Prep in hockey on Friday, in a backyard brawl of sorts. that is always good to see, as Prep is a DESPISED opponent.
The purpose is to teach them how to behave like ladies and gentlemen in Jr. High. I don't know if it works, but it is a nice program. That young lady's older brother loved the experience and was crushed when he wasn't chosen to be one of the "older sponsors" when he got to HS. They could choose 8 older boys, and there were 21 applications. So, he is throwing himself into marching band where he is the percussionist extroidinaire. For a shy kid, I would have never predicted it.
The percussion section is on the sideline while the rest of the band is on the field, and he is under the spotlight when they perform. He "dances" when he plays the marimba and has been the "hit" of the football half time show all year. Saturday he played the clashing cymbals as they led the annual Christmas parade. This from the kid who said he'd never march and had to be coerced to join the program. I credit Cotillion for his new found self confidence.
Yes, I like the Care Britt from Costa Rica. My dad still orders it from time to time (he is on their mailing list from one of the trips he and my mom made to Costa Rica). I also like Tres Rios coffee from Costa Rica. It is always good to get some that was obtained fresh there and brought back home.
very nice pic tioga.
Always remember that if you do your Christmas
shopping early, you invariably scurry less as
that holiday approaches.
Yes. Mind Boggling to say the least.
A++++ he wants to go over it.
and i am trying to do just that ; ) A+++
It's everywhere, and i simply cannot bear to listen to it. A+++
Love the picture-truly charming.
That is beautiful ti -
I have a bid to deliver in a few minutes-I'm not enthused about it-I'm sure the customer is a scammer, but I'll be polite because I know the value of customer service.
The alarm that is raised again
About a terrible fiscal fall
Is now a panic button to use
To hold the masses in thrall
All the scurrilous rhetoric-
Obama's minions blowing smoke
Is a call for endless spending
And to them its just a joke
Let them crash and burn this time
Things are already so damn bad-
Leaving the rats stuck in the mud
Is much better than what we had
I'm having 70's deja vu-I probably listened to too much old heavy rock over the weekend-I'm off to see the bogus customer...
Sad but true and well done
Good, that scurrilous beast is completely polarizing.
I had to stop on the way out the door to tell you you are not alone-I was born cynical, and in my former life as a casemanager, I knew several "homeless" people who hung around near our offices, figuring the nice casemanager(s)at the worker's comp place would give them goodies. It never occured to them that in that line of work, we were trained to spot scammers.
Only one of them was really "homeless"-the others lived from shelter to shelter, moving so they would not be familiar to those they took money from-they always wanted money and were not pleased with the other stuff. They only sold any clothes you gave them, and many bought drugs with the money, usually bathtub crank, crack or such.
There are no homeless out here-just what we call mountain men (and women) who live in remote and tumbledown places in the forest, and are hermits. Neighbors and church members check on them and bring them stuff which they really use-different world from the city.
Back to back generations of marrying 1/2 Italian men will remove any semblance of English, Irish, and Swedish genes (or blue eyes) in the grandchildren! LOL.
I'm 100% Eastern European. All four grandparents came off the boat. I married 100% Italian man whose grandparents were also off the boat. All three of my kids have my green eyes instead of his brown ones.
I does have it's charm. Thanks.
LOL....upstate NY is quite beautiful......it's the long frozen snowy winters I detest....and the libs and the taxes!
Thanks, it's hard to believe it's been over a year since you visited.
That must have been some boat. ;-)
"There be a lot of scurrilous in my trees"
Thanks. We have our version of mountain men here (usually referred to as woodchucks around here) and I have been in the back of the ambulance with a few. Too close for comfort.
Thanks. I didn't realize so many would like it as much as I did.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Bought 2 of these. With Neoprene, it's a little heavier and more durable than a nylon or cloth sleeve. With light & medium spinning rods, the weight of the neoprene tends to flex the upper end of the rod if not supported. Also have to be careful/slower when putting them back on. I like the protection, but may stick with the standard series from Rod Glove.

Customize 3 data fields per screen and set independent nutrition & hydration alarms reminding you to re-fuel.

Comments: Extremely disappointed. Got frozen with error massage. Getting a replacement within 10 days was impressive but it broke on second day. I was told it was because i swam with it... I was completely speechless... Wasted my money on this junk. I will never buy Timex.
From: Brian, Langley, BC, Canada
Comments: The worst watch. Had the watch a couple of months, gps accuracy was non-existent when comparing my timex global trainer to my run trainer 2.0- on an 8 mile run it was almost a mile difference. Sent back to timex, they replaced the watch. New watch doing same thing. I do not reccomed this product to anyone. A waste of almost 300 bucks.
From: John Clugson
Comments: This watch looks nice, but an error message was the only thing I could get it to display: "Built in Self test 123x5 Charger Fail." After multiple attempts to try different USB power sources, I can't get it to come alive. I'm sending this back. Very disappointing.

Style # 204505
With a glossy mirrored wedge and sexy anklet, this pair of suede bebe party shoes are sure to give after-dark outfits a glam statement finish. Try them with an embellished black dress and a short cocktail necklace.
- Leather upper, synthetic outsole
- Heel height: 6" (15 cm)
- Platform: 2" (5 cm)
- Imported.
Isabella Mirrored Wedge 1 1
Love them! I own the black (with silver wedge) & tan (with the light gold wedge) & I love them both! The mirrored/ metallic wedge makes the black & tan not so boring & basic. I usually wear heels 4 1/2 to 6 inches on a pretty regular basis so the wedge height was comfortable for me. -They're pretty comfortable but I put a gel insole in for extra comfort anyway. -Bottom of shoe is slippery (esp. on carpet!) so you WILL need 'no slip' pads for that. -I always get compliments when I wear these!

I'm guessing you got that on a 90W Adapter.
I'm using the standard 65W Adapter, which results of graphics throttling, as shown here.

hmmm... that is odd. Bought my x220 (i5-2420, 320GB 7200) with 2GB installed. I ran WEI twice in the first week and got 4.6 and 4.4 for the graphics rating. Just received 2 GB from Lenovo and installed it. With 4GB, WEI now showing 5.8 for graphics. 65 W power adapter for all measurements. No special name on the RAM modules.
The obvious big difference between our systems is that you have the i5-2420* and I have the i7-2620M.
My guess™ is that the higher power drain of the i7-2620M results in more throttling of the graphics core on the 65W Adapter.
(I haven't yet received the 90W Adapter I ordered, so can't confirm if it solves the problem or not.)

The Bad News:
"Sandy Bridge's improved memory controller has all but eliminated the need for extreme memory bandwidth, at least for this architecture. It's only when you get down to DDR3-1333 that you see a minor performance penalty. The sweet spot appears to be at DDR3-1600, where you will see a minor performance increase over DDR3-1333 with only a slight increase in cost. The performance increase gained by going up to DDR3-1866 or DDR3-2133 isn't nearly as pronounced."

Hooters Waitress-Turned-Lawmaker Admits to Carving Initials Into Assembly Desk
Rep. Julia Hurley, 29, is a freshman legislator from Tennessee who once worked as a waitress at a Hooters restaurant. Yeah, so what. You got a problem with it? As she recently told Hooters Magazine (it's like The Economist, but with articles about onion rings and large breasts), "I have taken quite a bit of flack from the public at large during my run for State House in Tennessee for being a Hooters Girl. But I know that without that time in my life I would not be as strong-willed and eager to become successful." Right on, Rep. Hurley! Unfortunately, though, her political career has gotten off to a not-so-auspicious start.
Hurley confirmed to the Knoxville News Sentinel this week that it was indeed she who had carved the initials "J.C.H." into a wood desk on the floor of the state House. The vandalism occurred back in May, but a local TV crew turned it into a pet cause recently, and she finally fessed up, saying, "It was like one in the morning on the last day of the session. I wasn't thinking straight."
Apparently the news crew found other carvings around the assembly, but no witch hunt is yet underway to smoke out those perpetrators. Hooters Girls: just can't catch a break. [Time, photo via AP]

Yeah, and if those darn Russian exiles wouldn't have gotten in the way, there would still be a USSR. Darn nuisance.
Michael Moore could use some downsizing.
This idiot does not know that Castro wanted to launch those atomics missles at our cities back in 1962. We now know this from the testimony of the Russians.
Moore supports communist idea every chance he gets (usually without mentioning communism explicitly). No wonder he's such a strong Kerry supporter.
The only thing Moore needs to down size is his obesity.
Free speech = Intimidation?
We know how Michael Moore values liberty (he doesn't).
this guy is such a creep and an *ssh*le, I'm sure someday we will find out something awful about him. I just hope you and I don't stroke out gettig aggravated over him before that time.
Is Michael Moore capable of any originality? Almost all of his book and movie titles are rip-offs of the titles of other works.
Hey Mikey... what would John F. Kennedy say?
Moore's ignorance of history is only surpassed by his endless desire to take a dump on someone else. All of his questions have answers readilly available regarding US policy toward communist Cuba. That's why it's called policy. It's not just make stuff up as the day suits you.
Cubans are the only "minority" group where it's PC to bash.
Where they and their children risk starvation, dehydration and death by trying to escape to America.
I'd love to drop that fat f*ck smack dab in the middle of Little Havana late at night.
Rich white men are FAT too.
I work in Downtown Miami. I am Cuban. I never heard of Barker or Gonzalez mentioned.I only know of them through reading. I think Moore smoked the same cigar slick willie used right after the slick one used it. If you give this tub of lard an enema, you will be able to bury him in a shoe box.
Michael Moore, How I ate my heart out, .... and proceeded to binge eat the rest of America.
Ssssssssnort! Oink Oink .... poooooot.
" If you give this tub of lard an enema, you will be able to bury him in a shoe box. "
LMAO... I almost pee'd my pants reading that one.
"economic violence against Cuba"
Castro did economic violence against the people he stole property from. Where's the outrage? And he actually used violence to do it.
Please Michael, be more in the face of America, and do some campaigning for Kerry in Florida.
Please! It's for the Children!
C-SPAN2 channel aired a translated version of Castro meeting with a group in Cuba on Monday. Castro was ranting against Bush policies and raving about Michael Moore. He even had a copy of Moore's book "Stupid White Men" that he was waving around and quoting from.
Oh the irony of the left! I guess they don't know that there are homosexual Cubans who have sought legal refuge in Canada to escape death.
Hey,I don't think it has economic or racial barriers. Unless you live in a third world country.
And Michael Moore is not only FAT, he's a slob.
Michael Moore could use some downsizing.>>>
Yea, that's an understatement,
Moore: STUPID (((obese))) WHITE MAN, an autobiography >>
That would be a "fitting" and true title for his book.
What an honor! His main complaint against us? We're White!
From "Downsize This:"
"Ninety percent of these Cuban exiles are white, while the majority of Cubans-62 percent-are black or of mixed race."
(But in 1960 when we started coming over 68 per cent of Cuba was white. That's according to U.N. statistics, you fat-assed idiot!)
Mr Blubberbutt waddles on:
"They have got everyone so afraid to stand up to them that I probably shouldn't even be writing this chapter. I am, after all, one of the few unarmed Americans.
So why am I not worried? Because these Cuban exiles, for all their chest-thumping and terrorism, are really just a bunch of wimps. That's right. Wimps. Need proof? For starters, when you don't like the oppressor in your country, you stay there and try to overthrow him.'
(15,000 excuted by firing squads, 500,000 jailed for being underground suspects. One of every 18 Cubans a political prisoner in 1961, that's pretty big chunk of the pop. up in arms, if you just measure males between 18-45 let's say. Then the Cuban Escambray Rebellion lasting from 1960-66. Problem was, you fat-assed idiot, YOUR idol JFK sold these rebels down the river and jailed their comrades sending arms & supplies from the U.S. That's how he "solved" the Missile Crisis, you brainless hippo. But you sure won't read that in Mother Jones! Then the Bay of Pigs, half the men--after being ransomed back--VOLUNTEERED for action in Viet-NAM. Gloria Estefan's father was one. He died a lingering death from his Viet-nam wounds.
He goes on;
"Why is it that in every incident of national torment that has deflated our country for the past three decades-the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, IranContra, our drug abuse epidemic-the list goes on and on-we find that the Cuban exiles are always present and involved?'
(Scarface was a good movie but not accurate history, Mr Jabba!)
"Then, on the night of June 17, 1972, three Cubans- Bernard Barker, Eugenio Martinez, and Virgilio Gonzalez were the ones caught breaking into the Watergate offices of the chairman of the Democratic Party.
(Not their fault. G-man Liddy goofed. And by the way, like Liddy none of them sang, and they suffered for it. No John Dean type sell-outs among them)
"When Ollie North needed a cover group to run arms into Nicaragua to help overthrow the government, who else could he turn to but the Miami Cubans? Bay of Pigs veterans Ramon Medina and Rafael Quintero were key managers of the air-transport company that supplied weapons to the Contras."
(And they're DAMN proud of it, you brainless blimp!!)
What more can I say?

Let me explain. Here around Barcelona I'm having some trouble to find a lot of [5 or 10]-year old videogames for PlayStation 2; so I searched around the few online stores I knew.
I only found it on Amazon.com, but I'm afraid that the videogames are NTSC. As far as I know -and that is not much- it means that it cannot be played in european -or at least, spanish- consoles, so I should buy PAL games, right?
So, basically, I believe that I could not play them here, so I haven't bought any of them through Amazon.
So I'd like someone to explain a bit about NTSC/PAL stuff, and of course, do you know any online store website where I can buy a lot of PS2 (PAL) videogames?
