Joseph Chamberlain
From Wikiquote
(Redirected from Chamberlain, Joseph)
Joseph Chamberlain (8 July 1836 – 2 July 1914) was a British statesman of the Liberal party and then of the Liberal Unionist party.
- Hitherto, the well-to-do have governed this country for their own interest; and I will do them this credit—they have achieved their object. Now I trust the time is approaching for those who work and have not. My aim in life is to make life pleasanter for this great majority; I do not care if it becomes in the process less pleasant for the well-to-do minority. Take America, for instance. Cultured persons complain that the society there is vulgar; less agreeable to the delicate tastes of delicately trained minds. but it is infinitely preferable to the ordinary worker.
- Said to Beatrice Webb as recorded in her diary (12 January 1884), quoted in Webb, My Apprenticeship (Penguin, 1971), p. 141.
- During the last 100 years, the House of Lords has never contributed one iota to popular liberties or popular freedom, or done anything to advance the common weal; but during that time it has protected every abuse and sheltered every privilege.
- Speech at Birmingham, 4th August 1884. Cited in "The House of Lords: A handbook for Liberal speakers, writers and workers" (Liberal Publication Department, 1910), p. 96.
- ...our fellow subjects may rest assured that their liberties, their rights, and their interests are as dear to us as our own; and if ever they are seriously menaced the whole power of the country will be exerted for their defence (cheers), and the English democracy will stand shoulder to shoulder throughout the world to maintain the honour and integrity of the Empire. (Cheers.) Now, gentlemen, I turn to the last point upon which I promise to address you. What is to be the nature of the domestic legislation of the future? (Hear, hear.) I cannot help thinking that it will be more directed to what are called social subjects than has hitherto been the case.—How to promote the greater happiness of the masses of the people (hear, hear), how to increase their enjoyment of life (cheers), that is the problem of the future; and just as there are politicians who would occupy all the world and leave nothing for the ambition of anybody else, so we have their counterpart at home in the men who, having already annexed everything that is worth having, expect everybody else to be content with the crumbs that fall from their table. If you will go back to the origin of things you will find that when our social arrangements first began to shape themselves every man was born into the world with natural rights, with a right to a share in the great inheritence of the community, with a right to a part of the land of his birth. (Cheers.) But all these rights have passed away. The common rights of ownership have disappeared. Some of them have been sold; some of them have been given away by people who had no right to dispose of them; some of them have been lost through apathy and ignorance; some have been stolen by fraud (cheers); and some have been acquired by violence. Private ownership has taken the place of these communal rights, and this system has become so interwoven with our habits and usages, it has been so sanctioned by law and protected by custom, that it might be very difficult and perhaps impossible to reverse it. But then, I ask, what ransom will property pay for the security which it enjoys? What substitute will it find for the natural rights which have ceased to be recognized?
- Speech to the Birmingham Artisans' Association at Birmingham Town Hall (5 January 1885).
- 'Mr. Chamberlain At Birmingham.', The Times (6 January 1885), p. 7.
- The great problem of our civilization is still unsolved. We have to account for and grapple with the mass of misery and destitution in our midst, co-existent as it is with the evidence of abundant wealth and teeming prosperity. It is a problem which some men would put aside by reference to the eternal laws of supply and demand, to the necessity of freedom of contract, and to the sanctity of every private right of property...Our object is the elevation of the poor, of the masses of the people—a levelling up of them by which we shall do something to remove the excessive inequality in social life.
- Speech on 8 September, 1885.[specific citation needed]
- If we fail, let us try again and again until we succeed.
- As a response to Prime Minister Gladstone's criticism of Chamberlain's "Radical Programme," from a Speech at Warrington, cited in "Great Issues in Western Civilization, Volume II" (Donald Kagan, 1992), pg. 419.
- I venture to claim two qualifications for the great office which I hold, which to my mind, without making invidious distinctions, is one of the most important that can be held by any Englishman; and those qualifications are that in the first place I believe in the British Empire, and in the second place I believe in the British race. I believe that the British race is the greatest of the governing races that the world has ever seen.
- Speech given to the Imperial Institute on 11 November, 1895; quoted in "Mr. Chamberlain On The Australian Colonies", The Times (12 November, 1895), p. 6.
- Let it be our endeavour, let it be our task, to keep alight the torch of imperial patriotism, to hold fast the affection and the confidence of our kinsmen across the seas; so that in every vicissitude of fortune the British Empire may present an unbroken front to all her foes, and may carry on even to distant ages the glorious traditions of the British flag.
- Speech entitled 'The True Conception of Empire' to the Royal Colonial Institute (31 March, 1897).[specific citation needed]
- Sugar is gone; silk has gone; iron is threatened; wool is threatened; cotton will go! How long are you going to stand it? At the present moment these industries...are like sheep in a field.
- Speech at Greenock on Free Trade (1903).[specific citation needed]
- [Social legislation] raised the cost of production; and what can be more illogical than to raise the cost of production in the country and then to allow the products of other countries which are not surrounded by any similar legislation, which are free from any similar cost and expenditure—freely to enter our country in competition with our own goods...If these foreign goods come in cheaper, one of two things must follow...either you will take lower wages or you will lose your work.
- Speech on Free Trade (6 October, 1903).[specific citation needed]
- London is the clearing-house of the world.
- Speech at Guildhall, London, Jan. 19, 1904.[specific citation needed]
- The day of small nations has passed away; the day of Empires has come.
- Speech at Birmingham, May 13, 1904.[specific citation needed]
- You are suffering from the unrestricted imports of cheaper goods. You are suffering also from the unrestricted immigration of the people who make these goods. (Loud and prolonged cheers.)...The evils of immigration have increased during recent years. And behind those people who have already reached these shores, remember there are millions of the same kind who, under easily conceivable circumstances, might follow in their track, and might invade this country in a way and to an extent of which few people have at present any conception. The same causes that brought 10,000 and 20,000, and tens of thousands, may bring hundreds of thousands, or even millions. (Hear, hear.) If that would be an evil, surely he is a statesman who would deal with it in the beginning. (Hear, hear.)...When it began we were told it was so small that it would not matter to us. Now it has been growing with great rapidity, it has already affected a whole district, it is spreading into other parts of the country...Will you take it in time (hear, hear), or will you wait, hoping for something to turn up which will preserve you from what you all see to be the natural consequences of such an invasion?...it is a fact that when these aliens come here they are answerable for a larger amount of crime and disease and hopeless poverty than are proportionate to their numbers. (Cheers.) They come here—I do not blame them, I am speaking of the results—they come here and change the whole character of a district. (Cheers.) The speech, the nationality of whole streets has been altered; and British workmen have been driven by the fierce competition of famished men from trades which they previously followed. (Cheers.)...But the party of free importers is against any reform. How could they be otherwise?...they are perfectly consistent. If sweated goods are to be allowed in this country without restriction, why not the people who make them? Where is the difference? There is no difference either in the principle or in the results. It all comes to the same thing—less labour for the British working man. (Cheers.)
- Speech in Limehouse in the East End of London (15 December 1904.)
- 'Mr. Chamberlain In The East-End.', The Times (16 December 1904), p. 8.
- Is the Unionist party, the Conservative party, to be without a definite policy of social reform? It is to our party that they owe the whole of that body of legislation connected with the Factory Acts, free education, the distribution of lands in the shape of allotments and small holdings, the compensation for accidents to workmen in the course of their employment...The policy of resistance, of negation, is no sufficient answer to that Socialist opinion which is growing up amongst us—the Socialist opinion the objects of which are, after all, worthy of earnest and even favourable consideration...that policy, by whomsoever propounded, is a policy which means money, which means expenditure, it is closely connected with the third object of our party officially declared—that fiscal reform is the first constructive policy of the Unionist party. (Cheers.)
- Speech (25 June 1906).
- 'The 1900 Club.', The Times (26 June 1906), p. 14.
- There are men in the House of Commons, who profess in a special sense to be the representatives of Labour, who would not allow me, who represent a great working-class constituency...to claim to represent you. In order to do so I must be a man who did some work 30 years ago and never did any since. (Loud laughter.) It is these men who are at the present time blackening the characters of those who are upholding the British dominion and British honour throughout the world...They have no ear of sympathy for the men who suffered for the Imperial cause. The other day some officers, British soldiers, were murdered with savage brutality for no reason or provocation. They had no sympathy with those officers or the families that they left behind them, their only idea was to shield the assassins from the proper penalty of their crime. ("Traitors.")...But one thing I will say, and I say it in your name; these men at any rate do not represent the working classes of England (loud cheering), and never yet in our history or in the history of the British race has a great democracy been unpatriotic. (Hear, hear.)
- On the Labour Party (7 July 1906.)
- 'The Chamberlain Celebration In Birmingham.', The Times (10 July 1906), p. 11.
- You can not have omelettes without breaking eggs; you can not destroy the practises of barbarism, of slavery, of superstition, which for centuries have desolated the interior of Africa, without the use of force; but if you will fairly contrast the gain to humanity with the price which we are bound to pay for it, I think you may well rejoice in the result of such expeditions as those which have recently been conducted with such signal success in Nyassaland, Ashanti, Benin, and Nupé—expeditions which may have, and indeed have, cost valuable lives, but as to which we may rest assured that for one life lost a hundred will be gained, and the cause of civilization and the prosperity of the people will in the long run be eminently advanced.
- The True Conception of Empire, 31 March 1897. Speech given to the Royal Colonial Institute.
- The phrase "omlets are not made without breaking eggs" first appeared in English in 1796. It is from the French, "on ne saurait faire d'omelette sans casser des œufs" (1742 and earlier), attributed to François de Charette.

Over the years my team and me have been making various tools and apps for Kindle owners. Of course, we've made a lot of mistakes and sometimes not stuck with things. That means we have a few things that are well done i.e.
- Notepad for Kindle. Not for Kindle Touch (working on it) or Kindle Fire (completely different development ecosystem, not working on it).
- Calendar for Kindle. Same as above.
- Other Kindle Apps like Calculator and Address Book.
- This Blog (hopefully, it's well done and not medium rare).
- Kindle App Review Blog. Maurine is doing a great job here and she has nearly every single Kindle App reviewed.
We also just released a Kindle Game based on Alice on Wonderland. It's called Alice in Crossed Up Land. You have to match objects from Alice's World and you can play Match-3 or Match-4 or Match-5 (match either 3 objects or 4 objects or 5 objects).
We also have lots of things that are at various stages of completion i.e.
- Book Summit. A Social Network for Kindle Owners (lots of authors for some reason).
- Book Monk. A Kindle Book Search Tool. It's fallen into a bit of disarray at the moment. However, it's something I'd be interested in working on if there's interest from all of you.
- The Kindle Start Page Maker. Which lets you create a 'book of links/favorites' that you can keep on your Kindle Home Page.
- Kindle Page Number Tool. A tool that lets you convert (approximately) from page numbers to locations.
- Various projects that haven't seen the light of day.
Perhaps all of you can help me/us in deciding what would be most valuable for all of you in 2012. The things that are interesting to us as a team are:
- Curation Engine. Enter in criteria + get a list of books that you can sort and arrange.
- Crowd-sourced Curation Engine. Here we would give all of you some way of triggering what's best.
- Recommendation Engine. Enter in one or more books you like and get suggestions.
- A site that only features indie author books.
- Filtering Engine for Free Books. So you could say – I only want to see books that are by published authors and rated 4 stars and longer than 300 pages. The Filtering Engine would bring up all such books.
- Something Else.
I will be continuing the blog (and also writing about good free books to the extent possible) but it's just not possible to manually go through 500 to 700 free books a day. The added issue of there not being any simple way to even look at today's free books makes it all rather difficult. On top of everything we have the problem of some offers being for 1 day only.
Please enter your thoughts for this Poll, and I'll let you know which 1 or 2 projects we decide to focus on in 2012.
[polldaddy poll=5750722]
Thank you for your time and ideas.

Great shoes!
"I have these in the grey color. They are wonderful! For a 4 inch heel they are very comfortable. The platform is cushioned so it makes it easy to wear them all day.Not sure about the last reviewer saying that they are purple...mine are definitely grey!"

more purple than gray
"With no previous reviews to rely on I took a gamble and ordered my usual 7.5 size. They were far too narrow in the toe box and just too snug. Perhaps a half size up would be enough. I was more disappointed with the color, compared to other grey suede shoes I have, these heels just looked more dark and almost on the purple side. These are definitely going back."

The Direct Costs from NPE Disputes
James E. Bessen
Boston University - School of Law; Research on Innovation
Michael J. Meurer
Boston University - School of Law
June 28, 2012
99 Cornell L. Rev. 387 (2014)
Boston Univ. School of Law, Law and Economics Research Paper No. 12-34
In the past, "non-practicing entities" (NPEs), popularly known as "patent trolls," have helped small inventors profit from their inventions. Is this true today or, given the unprecedented levels of NPE litigation, do NPEs reduce innovation incentives? Using a survey of defendants and a database of litigation, this paper estimates the direct costs to defendants arising from NPE patent assertions. We estimate that firms accrued $29 billion of direct costs in 2011. Although large firms accrued over half of direct costs, most of the defendants were small or medium-sized firms. Moreover, an examination of publicly listed NPEs indicates that little of the direct costs represents a transfer to small inventors. This updated version of the paper includes a reply to critics.

Cute Sandal
"I bought this shoe in the black and light tan color. They are cute and simple sandals that look good with shorts or capris. Like most flat shoes they do not have support for a lot of walking or long periods of standing but cute for a summer cookout!"

Would recommend for those with wide feet
"Liked the beige color and comfort, yet they were wide and the style made me feel as if I were a child trying on my Mother's shoes. The snake skin pattern was not too distracting, and I usually avoid such animal print embellishment."

McNeely recently journeyed to the Costa Rican jungle for an episode of the series. "Litepanels worked great as fill light under the jungle canopy for a zip line adventure segment."
McNeely finds Litepanels 1x1's perfect for lighting sit down interviews either indoors or at night. "The soft light provided makes it easy to overlap the light footprint without shadow seams between two or three lights, when using as frontal illumination," he explains. When used in a three-point set-up a close, tight, well-lit set is achieved.
"I also like the option of powering the 1x1 lights with standard wall juice, or with a quick change of back plates and Anton Bauer Gold Mount batteries we can run the lights in the middle of nowhere. Now that's a handy option for all EFP producers. You can even clip a number of 1x1s together to create a single large panel of illumination.
"I appreciate the fact that these lights never get hot either," he adds. "No burned out or exploding bulbs anymore. Use these lights all day and then turn them off and pack them up. For a veteran producer, this is a step up in lighting technology!"
The Outdoorsman with Buck McNeely has been bringing a wide-range of world-class TV adventures to audiences since 1985. His programs air on a variety of networks including Sky Angel 2 on Dish Network, Fox Sports Net, Untamed Sports Net and Tuff TV. Over 500 broadcast TV stations in the United States and several networks around the world also air his programs. For more information on the program visit www.outdoorsmanint.com

Skip to comments.Dershowitz: "Racist And Bigoted To Say That Guns Are Quintessentially American" (video)
Posted on 01/07/2013 8:54:13 PM PST by i88schwartz
ALAN DERSHOWITZ: I don't think it's the NRA power. I think it's people like us, not the two of us, but Americans who care about guns aren't doing enough to make our case to the public.
Because we think it's their issue. We've given that issue over to them because they have lobbyists they pay money. But in the end, the people determine the outcome. And it's wrong, and it's racist and it's bigoted to say that guns are quintessentially American. They may represent a part of America, but my grandparents who came over from poland and live in Brooklyn, New York, are just as much Americans --people who came over from Ireland, people who came over from Italy -- we're just as much Americans. We live on the coast and we have a right to define the America we want to live in and we have the obligation to win politically, to vote for people to put gun control as a high priority.
They put it as a number one priority. We who favor gun control put it as a 16th or 17th priority. So it's our fault, not the NRA's fault.
(Excerpt) Read more at realclearpolitics.com ...
Dershitz is racist and bigoted.
IMHO, of course........
Dershitz is racist and bigoted.
IMHO, of course........
"We live on the coast and we have a right to define the America we want to live in..."
No Alan, you do not. We live in a country where the Constitution decides how we live despite what everyone on the coast believes.
Was it Dershewitz who's confused, or another reporter who can't manage compound sentences?
Beats me. Perhaps the reporter.
The p in Poland is not capitalized.
LOL. Right.
Everything is racist in Obamaland....
Yawn...You make me sleepy, Alan...
Well you know they have lost the debate when they throw
the race card out there. They don't have a leg to stand
on and they know it so they go racist.
Liberalism is just a fancy name for low life scum.
How pathetic. Allegedly a skilled lawyer, Dershowitz resorts to the race card in arguing for gun control.
Why is it, as Alan would have it, that people come here from Poland, and Ireland, and Afghanistan, and Kenya, and and and ... and, having left those hellholes, they want to change the USA into another hellhole like the one they left? I am sick of this mindset.
How about our immigrants and their offspring look at the USA, since they CHOSE to come here, often at great personal sacrifice and peril, and think about what it is that made the country work before their arrival, and what made it so desirable vs the hellhole they left?
ANY so-called 'jew' whose family 'came over' from, of all places on earth, POLAND, and insists on gun control is a masochist, a lunatic, a traitor to his blood, (which I have stated many times before about dershowitz,) or worse. Much worse.
The Poles, Irish and Italians should certainly know the value of guns against tyranny more than most nationalities.
I'll betcha a C note, his grandparents wished they had guns to defend themselves before they left Poland. Instead, they were fortunate enough to be able to retreat to America. But after America, there is no place to retreat to. That is why smart Americans will not allow their primary means of self-defense to be easily taken away from them. We've seen what happened in Europe when that was done: the lucky ones escaped while the unlucky ones ended up in gulags or, worse, in ovens.
I cannot understand why Dershowitz would want to make it easier for some future tyrannical government to herd people into the boxcars. He should study some history. Fairly recent history, actually, relatively speaking...
Sometimes the guy makes sense and other times he's a moron.
ALAN DERSHOWITZ thinks George Zimmerman is innocent.
"we have a right to define the America we want to live in and we have the obligation to win politically, to vote for people to put gun control as a high priority."
Does this 0.o anybody but me? That's called infiltration- & maybe a reach, but to some extent, subversion, too. Professor Dershowitz has the same opportunity (& probably far greater means, too) his parents had to move to a country that is more agreeable to him. It isn't like there aren't any suitable alternatives. He grew up here. Why doesn't he love America that has been good to him?
Mexican nationals invading the US & Muslims invading Europe come to mind because they are obsessed with changing those countries into what *they* want & damn the citizens. They don't want to assimilate. They want to take over.
(This is the part of 'spreading democracy' that I think gets us into trouble. It inherently opens the door to those who think that turnabout is fair play. And that's hard to argue. It's different than defense against being attacked or threatened)
That is the only sense he's made in fifty years.
If you don't like that then eat it, asshat!
Alan, were it not for free men with guns, your whole family would have gone into the ovens, and they would have been put there by a government in the same position you wish to place ours in. What don't you get?
"Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." (emphasis supplied).
For Americans of that era, the effectiveness of a well-armed populace as an essential guarantee of freedom was a self-evident lesson of the Revolution. Without the American people being armed, there could not have been a Revolution, or at least not a successful one.
As it was, the lack of a Bill of Rights was a potent criticism by opponents of the proposed Constitution, with a guarantee of the right to keep and bear arms frequently cited as needed. To secure ratification, leading advocates agree to offer a bill of rights in the first Congress under the Constitution.
As proposed and adopted, the bill of rights therefore included a guarantee of the right of the people to keep and bear arms. In that manner, Madison's reasoning and popular opinion of the time was incorporated into the bill of rights.
I can!....He thinks he's exempt!....lol..and the world wonders why the poor Jews get picked on???
(for a small fee...Alan can help us!!.../s..)
I'm not - nor will I be - a 30's era, Jewish Berliner.
Come for my gun, you'll get a bullet. It's really that simple.
Firearms wouldn't have hurt the Jews in Germany and Poland in the 30s/40s, either. I don't get Alan's incredibly short-sighted thinking.
Unfortunately Dipshitowitz is the model for anti-Jewish rhetoric.
I notice with the libs, it's [what we hate insert here] is racist!!! I mean, they would probably call Dr. Martin Luther King a racist if he were still alive.
Douchebag shoulda stayed in Poland
There it is again: people "who live on the coast(s)" who want to "define" America.
"I think it's people like us, not the two of us, but Americans who care about guns" are exactly those who spend their money to have and keep them.
>> Huh?
Another point that Dershowitz is willfully ignorant on is the original basis for gun control in this country. The gun control movement was specifically started with the intent of keeping free blacks defenseless from attacks by whites. I challenge Dershowitz to site examples of post-Civil War laws which were passed with a more racist intent than gun control laws were. Nothing approaches it - not segregation, not Jim Crow laws, not even anti-miscegenation laws. Simply put, nothing is as disgraceful as the attempt to disarm fellow citizens from defending themselves. A son of Jewish emigrants from Poland should know this better than most.
Alan, with all due respect. Nobody MAKES you own a Gun, unless you live in Switzerland.
Somebody needs to sneak up behind Dershowitz and yell "Hackenholt Foundation!"
Hamilton rocks the subject around 30 or 32.
The Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto were "dying" for guns, any kind, any caliber, to fight the Nazis. Though doomed, these Jews decided to fight evil to the end.
I must point out that a leader of the Free Polish Army,Stefan Korbonski, was the only Polish military leader (that I know of), who smuggled arms into the Warsaw Ghetto to give the people there a chance to fight. He was named a "Righteous Gentile" by the Yad Vashem Memorial organization in Israel, its highest honor that they could give to someone who was not Jewish.
Stefan was a friend of mine, and ranks up there with Polish diplomat, Jan Karksi, another "Righteous Gentile" as true heroes of Poland during WW2.
They are both blessed and honored memories to we Jews.
PS: I had relatives killed in Lemberg, Belzec CC, and Auschwitz Concentration Camp. Also had an acquaintance who made Molotov cocktails in Milo 20 before she, as a teenager, was made to leave the Warsaw Ghetto before the fighting (She ended up in a German slave labor camp as did her brother - Sachsenhausen CC, across the street). Both survived the war and she became a nurse in New Jersey.
History is full of heroes, too many unsung, but worthy of mentioning whenever possible.
It seems not, as those essays were on taxation.
So much of my family, German, Lithuanian, and Polish were almost completely wiped out. People on FR don't understand why I get so 'touchy' when they lump all Jews together when speaking of the leftist dem jews who I don't even consider blood at all.
To this very day, as quirky as it might sound, I have absolutely refused to enter, let alone ride in, or drive, a volkswagen. I don't use bayer aspirin or anything made by bayer. Have never bought a ford. A few other little things like that.
As a result regarding gun control, I am seriously worried Hussein's gun grab will be just the first "control" law and others will follow until we have to physically fight to keep our weapons.
In this first law, magazines are surely going to be limited to 10 bullets which is why there are few magazines left in stores now. A laser gives the shooter an advantage and I wouldn't be surprised if they are outlawed, too. If you want that laser, you should get it now even if you don't have the gun yet. Remember it must be the laser made for that specific gun.
Matt Bracken was exactly right. First they limit the kind of guns one can have and limit the accessories to add to the guns. Next is registration, then they are confiscated and the death toll starts growing. It has worked that way in every country that took guns from all citizens (except the bad guys keep theirs.)
The citizens of Australia gave all their guns to the government and they were all destroyed. Now, they are being killed in their houses and law enforcement can't stop it as there are too many. The citizens have added multiple locks on their houses and put in cameras but they have no weapon and they are terrified. I saw a film of the guns being picked up by a front end loader to be dumped and burned and saw/heard the citizens talk about their fear of being killed in their houses.
We cannot allow that to happen here.
Not everyone lives in an urban environment. I live a mile from National Wilderness. I have bear and cougars wander through my yard. Yes, they are black bears, but that hardly makes me racist. People would be fools here if they did not have a couple of guns.
My ancestors settled in Maine in 1626. They had guns too. In fact, they took their guns with them when they fought at the plains of Abraham in the Indian Wars and in the American Revolutionary War.
My 93 year old father has hunting guns and a nickel plated 45 - the one he was issued as an officer in the Navy. Pretty sure he had it with him at Pearl Harbor.
Guns are part of my American culture which has very deep roots. I consider further gun control legislation as a declaration of war against my culture.
Race cards are like dollar bills - When you print a couple trillion of 'em, they're not worth as much.
I am curious. What does 88 stand for in your nic?

- The logo quickly identifies who the mission is without the viewer knowing the logo's rationale

- Content: How informative is the site? Does it cover the mission in a broad, deep, and thorough manner? Is the information useful, accurate, and up-to-date?
- Design: Assesses the site's layout and presentation. Does it lead visitors through the information nicely? Are the pages appealing and easy to use? Does the site use video, audio, and graphics? Is the site provocative and appealing
- Originality: Does the site look at the ministry of the mission in a unique way? Is information available at the site that is found nowhere else?
- Response: Does the site encourage involvement in the mission? Is the information updated regularly so that visitors will want to return to the site in the future?
Please note that websites will be judged in their current state during the judging period in 2016.

Adorable Shoe
"I actually purchased this shoe in store in the Whiskey color. The shoe was beautiful but unfortunatley I had to return it because the heel was a bit high for my preference, as I'm already 5 '10. Other than that the leather was soft, high quality and the shoe was very well made. If it had I lower heel I would have NEVER given them up."

Miz Mooz Tillman replica
"I bought these because I'm a HUGE Miz Mooz fan... these appear to be made by the same company, but perhaps seconds and labeled by Crown Vintage? My pair did squeek a bit... and seem a bit more narrow than my original Tillman pair. I used reward points and was able to purchase these for a bit less then a pair of Miz Mooz.... With that, they are still comfy, but squeek. I have yet to decide how much this will bother me."

Welcome to MS's weekly song battle!
The song battle consists of two songs pitted against each other for you the users to vote for which song is better. The voting period will be open for this week (August 2nd-August 9th) with the last two days being open for song requests. You have the entire week to vote so listen to the song, get a feel for it, and vote!
On behalf of my good friend Tadashi, i am having the weekly song battle this week, and anyone who knows me well or some...knows i will make it mainly...METAL!!
And so, this week we go into one of the most discussed and argued topics since these two bands rose and became two of...The Big Four!
Megadeth and Metallica are two of the most popular, longest fued and most known for Megadeth front man being Metallica's lead guitarist before Kirk Hammett. And so, with that being, i decided to have their songs...BATTLE!
Megadeth - Tornado of Souls
Metallica - Blackened
In my opinion, Megadeth is far more amazing, talented and hows do you calls it "gooders" than Metallica(from metalocalypse). Megadeth for one has Dave Mustaine, hes a pure guitar genius and far more skilled and intelligent than Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield. Dont get me wrong, (old)Metallica is badass, but Megadeth is the band i think is best.
Second, Megadeth never sold out like Metallica, yeah some people might say they kind of came back with their recent album Death Magnetic, but to me, i will never forget the huge disappointment when Metallica brought out St. Anger, Load and Reload..and during that time, Megadeth kept it fresh Thrashy(with some new ideas) and kept rocking and jammin out like they always did.
Plus, personally me i think Megadeth is far more badass. Every member that has been in Megadeth has been AMAZING! one thing thats awesome about our friend Dave, he never bs' around, always gets amazingly talented members, while in Metallica...eh u know..they have lars..and they had Jason Newsted..i guess, i mean, u can like him, if thats what you call a bass player..Now their latest remaining Bass Player, Robert Trujillo..BADASS!!! hes the only member of Metallica i have any respect for. But but...why do like him if hes in metallica??? well people, I've heard about him back when he used to be in Suicidal Tendencies, Black Label Society and Ozzy Osbourne, his work with those bands puts him as one of the best Bass players in Heavy Metal.
well...of course, im voting for Megadeth, well people, have fun discussing and voting..and remember METALLICA SOLD OUT....AND REMAINS A SELL OUT.
~All discussion will be done in this thread.
~NO FLAME! Keep your useless comments to yourself.
~All song requests can either be sent to me through PM or VM.
~Ideas as to how to better improve this thread or to add certain elements can be posted in the original thread: Mangashare's Weekly Head-to-Head Song Battle or PM me.
Side Note: There will be two different songs each week with a final tournament with each week's winner for song of the year.
~If you don't like the song then request one of your own!

|In response to Re: Problem with contacting mfg.
: This is a new unit, but the mfg is apparently out of business, the original distributer was Warnock Hersery, but they no longer deal with this product. It is being sold on ebay by folks who pick up this kind of merchandise. Lcye Mfg makes and sells a very similar product which is apparently a newer version as they refer to the JCE55 in that context. Interestingly enough, the Geyser E54 which is their unit, does not use a relief valve. Here's the basis of my questioning the need for a relief valve on my unit. There is no hot water held in a tank. When you turn the tap, the water heats. When you close the tap, the heating process stops. How can there be a pressure build up when the tap is open? How can it over heat if it does not heat water until the tap is open and stops heating when the tap is closed? You have to remember that these instant heaters are not in any way like a conventional hot water heater. Thanks for you thoughts, but I'm still looking for someone who is knowledgeable about this particular device.

Cuttn' It Loose owner Rosemarie Cabral plans a 10th anniversary celebration that will include the unveiling of the first exhibit of the continuing art show that will be gracing the walls of the salon.
"We were doing the breast cancer benefit and artist Kyle Banister noted art works would make the walls of our hair salon look nicer," she said. "We thought it was a good idea and a way to allow local artists a venue to display their works. The result is we have decided to launch the initial art exhibit we are calling The Tresses Art Show on Feb. 28 at the same time we hold the celebration of our 10th anniversary."
The opening reception will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Feb. 28 at the salon, located at 901 Englewood Parkway. It is free but those planning to attend are asked to RSVP by calling 303-795-8240.
The initial exhibit will consist of artworks by Jennifer Mosqura, Lea Wells, Eric Matelski and Kyle Banister.
Cabral said these first artworks will be on the walls for two or three months. When that exhibit is taken down, it will be replaced by a new exhibit featuring the works of other area artists. She said about each quarter, there will be the works of different artists in the Tresses Art Show exhibit on the walls of the salon.
For more information on the initial exhibit or future exhibits, call the salon at 303-795-8240.

Street Artist Tricks South African Diamond Exporter Into Sponsoring Anti-Diamond Mural
California-based street artist ABOVE took some time during a recent trip to Johannesburg, South Africa, to let the world know how he felt about blood diamonds. Namely: That he doesn't like them.
He somehow persuaded Joburg's largest diamond exporter, Jewel City, to let him cover their facade with the words "Diamonds Are A Woman's Best Friend."
Unbeknownst to them, ABOVE was planning a good ol' fashioned diamond wall heist:
The next day I had started painting but what the owners didn't know is that I lied to them and was hijacking their wall. [...] I assume the owners were too busy trading diamonds inside the mega centre they never took the time to come out and see I was painting a controversial word play about the diamond trade and how it's fueled so much bloodshed in wars making it one of man's worst enemies.

Skip to comments.Romney will WIN in landslide!!! Stop the nonsense of being behind in the polls. GOT IT!

Nattering Nabobs of Negativity!
Thank you, Spiro!
A "landslide" in my book is upward of 60%, kind of a supermajority. Do you think he'll pull that off, in either popular or electoral votes?
Well I don't see how Obama get re-elected but all of the news outlets, even Fox, and many, many conservatives say it's over? When exactly that happen, I don't know? Anyway, I guess I'll just have to go vote anyway. LOL
From your mouth to God's ears I hope your right. I will save this thread and if your right you deserve the biggest steak dinner EVER. I will be voting and I hope everyone does the same, don't believe the media BS
I am with you. I truly believe Obama is on his way to Chicago... or HI.... or any place outside of DC.
If an Obama supporter made the bet.....
If you won, he'd Welsh on his bet cause he ain't got it.
If he won, the money would be worthless due to QE3, 4, 5 etc.,
Electoral Votes.
I don't know about 60% of the vote, with 47% of the population directly benefitting from government largesse.
However, I think we can almost certainly count on 300 electoral districts voting for Romney.
That's a pretty good turnout.
I 100% agree with you that the media control the polls. It`s just that the sad truth is the masses still get their cue from the MSM.
In spite of talk radio and the internet (used to be able to say Fox News, but they are now part of the MSM with their own MSM poll etc)
The MSM still has the upper hand.
I hope to be proven wrong but am afraid we are doomed.
Look no further than 2008, they voted in a POS FILTHY WORTHLESS GOD FORSAKEN MAN, and the truth is he was no worse than Clinton, Kerry or Gore or really any Democrat for that matter.
We are doomed! And people that called themselves Tea Party, supporting Romney in the primaries???
Yes he is the lesser of 2 evils, and I support.
We are doomed
She did not age well.
Sell your doom talk and constant downpour somewhere else.
BRING IT ON!! And when he wins I and others will be sure to ping you. The ones around here who think Obama wins are nothing but Noise to Me.
Time waits for no one.
And when Romney wins the economy will still collapse...and the libs will immediately blame the republicans, a story that will be swallowed by the dolts educated within the last two generations who can't begin to appreciate the depths of their ignorance of the late, great America.
ohhhh nooooooooze
ohhhh nooooooooze
No true American of the Conservative bent, or Republican Party should NOT vote.
All the disinformation by polls is for the purpose of disillusioning those who would vote for, or consider voting for other than Obama.
The Democrats have effed up everything since January 2007, and have supported the Communist in Chief since his inauguration in January 2009. There is nothing for them to run on that is positive. Their track record is abysmal. They can only throw crap at those that would oppose them.
We have to make certain everybody we know understands their vote is needed to end the reign of terror Obama, and his cronies have loosed upon us.
Rasmussen: PA - 0bama 51% - Romney 39% | 9-20-12 | Scott Rasmussen
I needed the pep talk. Sometimes I get down...in..the...dumps. :)
Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can't put it off another day
I don't care what others say
They say we don't listen anyway
Time has come today
Yes it does. I'm inventing nanobots that reverse aging.
"She did not age well", but...
My wife is in Naperville just outside of Chicago visiting her sister. On her street she counted no less then 8 RR signs . Keep in mind this same street had 20 Obama signs 4 years ago. NOT ONE OBAMA SIGN.
Yes and if people give up he WON'T win. Get out and vote.
"Well, looks like Obama has won re-election in a squeaker. It may go to court but I'm sure he'll prevail"—news anchor on election night.
"Gee. I thought Romney was gonna lose big. You mean it was THAT close? My vote could have made a difference?"
It prob will be a landslide but if enough people get
"discouraged" and don't bother to vote it could go the
other way. Vote vote vote! They'll have the dead and
the illegals out to the polls to try to knock us out,
and try to discourage us...don't let em win!
I wish I could share the optimism. But I doubt it. With Obama we've entered new territory. Witness the fact that he had Jay-Z as a guest at the White House. A small matter? No, hell no! Just do a google and check those beautiful misogynistic lyrics. Just type in Jay-Z and the word pimp and you're off to the races. This is no small matter. This moral ambiguity and permissiveness is dangerous in the extreme. Permissiveness is not the cause, but the result, of the breakdown of authority. And that's the point. Our society is abandoning morality. And there are too many mean people (mean=average) who admire mean things. We're staring into the abyss. Obama is a man of the times for the times and hence probably unbeatable. Sorry, but we've neglected our civic culture for way too long .Obama is the result of that devolution.
Oh puhleeze. I read these threads when it was McCain/Palin.
Romney will get slaughtered and take the Senate and House down with him. Funny we don't argue about the polls we like.
Time to hang on for 2016 when we actually resurrect Conservatism and stop letting the Elite pick our candidates for us.
I guarantee you none of you would be saying "the media drives the polls" if Romney were ahead. THAT is how they control us. Stop it.
Here's a site for the gloom and doomers...you may prefer this guy instead. You guys already think he's gonna win anyway.
Remember '08?
Remember the MSM is still lying and covering up for him.
We'll see the same illegal overseas and other contributions
We'll see voter fraud ten times worse
We'll see the race card pulled as never before
Don't think the rats will give up their Communist coup without a struggle.
This will be the dirtiest fight in election history
We'll be lucky if we EVER get rid of the Marxist/Muslim sob.
Starting now, I am only following this thread until 7 NOV...
Can someone cite any Marxist regime in history, when after obtaining the highest power in a land, ever 'loses' an election or ever willing steps down from power?
History is an important teacher.
Our faith better be in something beyond a corrupted system and wishful thinking.
"My wife is in Naperville just outside of Chicago visiting her sister. On her street she counted no less then 8 RR signs . Keep in mind this same street had 20 Obama signs 4 years ago. NOT ONE OBAMA SIGN."
I live near Naperville, and at one time lived in Naperville. Naperville is the home of the entreprenurial class, both corporate and small business. I suspect by now they all loathe Obama bigtime, as the foreclosure signs are going up in the "good" neighborhoods as well as the bad. Lots of those small business owners and corporate management types have lost their jobs along with the rest of us. And for those that are still employers, Obamacare is about to trash their businesses. How anyone could vote Obama back in that pays taxes or owns/works in business is beyond me. I suspect in great majority, they won't.
but but but the psychic on Coast to Coast last night said obama would win!
Now that I think of it, I do recall a similar thread 4 years ago around this time. Was that you?
Thank you. So great to hear an encouraging word.
The democrats have stated that they are trying to demoralize the white male voters. How can you believe the polls when they tell you what they are doing?
There is a bright side to all this "it's over" coming from the left-wing media. On Nov. 6th, when R&R win in an electoral landslide, the libs will be shell-shocked. I'm looking for sales of valium to skyrocket!
Ok chief.

The liquor license for Poor Boys Lounge is suspended at 9 a.m. Monday, according to Harrisburg Mayor Eric Gregg.
Gregg said the license will be suspended for seven days.
The bar has been under scrutiny due to a history of violent events over the past few months, including the recent stabbing of Jason Teegarden.
Liquor license holder Sheila Harmon said at a hearing Tuesday she will do whatever is necessary to bring conditions at the bar up to the city's standards. Gregg has suggested improved lighting and enhanced security would improve conditions.

I am running a java application that does some web scraping using Commons HTTPClient but it is unable to connect to the Internet unless the firewall policy is set to Allow Most or lower.
To solve this I recently started a new configuration for Outpost 7.5 and turned on the auto-learn mode. Even so, when my application attempts to connect while Outpost is in rules wizard mode, HTTP is completely blocked. Also of interest, when the application is blocked I can see the rule "Allow outbound HTTP for Java" active on Outpost's Network Activity screen; however no bytes are sent or received.
Any thoughts on how to fix this problem?

Comments: I went from the NB 650s series to the Ultrascendor 2s, which are good, but the BigShot 2 is the best.
Great performance with a low to the ground feel. KSwiss is one of the few companies that make good looking shoes.
From: Jordan, 12/13
Comments: First match wearing these, they felt snug and felt good. After the second match, they fit perfect and
loosened up a bit. After the third match, I was sliding around inside them as if I was playing on banana peels. Im not sure why
they broke down so fast but I was afraid to play in them again after only three matches, couldn't imagine what they would have
felt like in 8-9 months of playing as that how long my court shoes usually last.
From: E, 7/13
Comments: Best shoes I've had so far. I like them more than the original Big Shots, although those are great too.
From: Tom, 7/13
Comments: Overall disappointing. Took many sessions to break them in and = the left shoe cut into my ankle. The
toe guard wore through to the stitching a week after the warranty period ended. And finally, the shoes leave marks on hard
courts. On the plus side, they are light and look cool. I was happier with the Ultrascenders.
From: Tim, 7/13
Comments: These feel so much different than the original BigShot. They definitely are more stiff and feel more like
barricades rather than the speed oriented BigShots. Also, my feet hurt after every time I play, especially on the achilles. Also, I've
had these shoes for about a month, and already the toe has worn out and part of the outsole has lost its traction. If you like
KSwiss shoes, stick to the BigShot.
From: Nick, 6/13
Comments: After 2 months in these shoes my feedback has changed a bit. After every time I played my achilles on
both sides would be killing me. I replaced the stock insoles (thinnest I've ever seen) with a pair of Cadence. Huge improvement!
I've played the equivalent of about 15 hard matches in the them and they've held up a very well. I'm a toe dragger, serve and
volley player. I finally blew out the toe on the side of the ball of my foot. Pros - good durability, lightweight. Cons - run large,
really thin insoles
From: Mason, 6/13
Comments: Fairly lightweight for how durable they are. I've played 6 times and see little to no wear. They do mark
the court a bit. I actually think the toe box is a bit large. Overall, I'd say they run about 1/4 of a size large. I'm a 10.5 in every pair
of shoes I own and I have to wear thick socks with these. Standard width not too narrow. I'm extremely hard on shoes. Overall, I
feel like these are pretty solid. 8 out of 10.
From: Mason, 4/13
Comments: I've been a Big Shot wearer from the first day they came out and loved the feel and comfort. The BSII
has that traditional K Swiss fit that I love. Not sure if they are better than the original, but they are still play a lot better than my
From: Nath, 4/13
Comments: These have a totally different feel and are super tight in the toe box compared to the original Big Shots.
If you like adidas you might like these.
From: Jono, 3/13
Comments: Seems to run a bit smaller than the original BigShot. The toe box seems lower and slightly shorter
length. I have 4 pairs of the original BigShot, all in a size 9.5. I think I am going to have to move to a 10 in the BigShot II.
From: Cliff, 3/13
Comments: Why does yet another shoe company have a very good introductory shoe and then completely ruin it in
the second version?! This shoe is not good. It feels like a ski boot and does not fit properly at all. Don't waste your money on this
one, and get the original.
From: Andrew, 1/13
Comments: I was down to my last pair of Barricade 5s and was getting worried. The Barricade 6s were too narrow
in the toe (as were Nikes) and the Barricade 7s killed my instep. The K-Swiss Big Shot IIs are great! Soft breathable uppers, wide
toe box, lightweight, very stable, and no problems with traction.
From: Joe, 1/13
Comments: This is my third pair of KSwiss shoes and these are hands down the best pair I've ever owned. I was a
hard Adidas shoe buyer, but the break-in period was a killer on my feet, and they were too narrow. Not this shoe, as they fit new
of the box like I've had them for months. Just a heads up, KSwiss run small so you may want to order a half size larger.
From: Edward, 12/12
Comments: These shoes are super comfortable and very lightweight for a durability-guaranteed show. Historically,
KSwiss shoes have not fit me very well since I tend to have wider feet. However, I have had no problems with these. I would totally
recommend these. I tend to prefer speed shoes and am very impressed/surprised that these come with a durability guarantee!

Rated 1 out of 5�by bella85 color does not look like the picture The color is completly different nothing like the picture. The one I got was a purple and the material is different from the ones in the store "cheap". I had to return it, I was very dissapointed with this online purchase. Next time I'll just buy from the store. I guess I'm out of my shipping costs. August 4, 2013
