St John Simpson, curator, British Museum
Just send us a postcard! This short catchphrase is poised to enter history across the world; today, mobile phones, text messages, emails, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are the media used to help connect people and share images and experiences.
The postcard is not quite dead but it is certainly endangered and it's for that reason that we have decided to formally add them to the list of objects that we collect, register, acknowledge donor details, scan and upload onto the British Museum collection online.
Moreover, postcards are very evocative objects. The images are loaded with significance and capture moments in time, and this applies equally to cards showing places, landscapes and people. Indeed, the more postcards one has of a particular place, the more powerful they become in charting its history and exploring the practical issues of how the view was arrived at and what subliminal messages may have been intended by the choice of view or subject-matter.
Postcards enter into two quite different patterns of circulation. One is from sender to recipient, and the message is often either banal or stereotyped ("wish you were here … the weather's great"), or deeply personalised, but in both cases the postcard is often treasured by the recipient.
In the second case, the postcard is collected as a tangible memento of a visit and is never intended to be sent. Whereas the first category eventually enter into secondary circulation as people move house, relationships end or they pass away – often for the stamps to be soaked off – the second, almost mint, category of cards become collectibles. Used cards are postmarked and therefore offer absolute dates on a timeline but unused cards can, with patience, be dated through their internal content and series number. They are therefore just like many other objects we have in the museum, and subject to classification, typology and anthropological analysis.
However, it is fundamentally the top-level information they provide on the changing Middle East that led us to start collecting them. Places, people and cultural heritage are fragile commodities and easily affected by periods of conflict, social change and economic development. It is therefore crucial we start archiving these memories before it really is too late.

In 1951, the founder of Marriott International, J. Willard Marriott Sr., discovered a beautiful piece of the Blue Ridge foothills that reminded him of his boyhood days on the family farm in Utah. After buying the property, he meticulously began to restore the primary historic buildings, their surrounding grounds and continued to purchase contiguous parcels of land including Fiery Run Ranch, creating the 4200+/- acre Marriott Ranch.
Over the following years, J. Willard would bring the farm always known as "Fairfield" back to life with a modest herd of registered Hereford cattle, a large group of black-faced sheep and through the breeding of quarter horses. J. Willard, an avid horseback rider and outdoorsman, would spend as much time as he could at his Fauquier County property and wrote in his diary, "A beautiful place, hard to leave..."
The Inn at Fairfield Farm is a historic Virginia Bed & Breakfast located near the center of the Marriott Ranch's 4,200 acres. Guests staying at the Inn at Fairfield Farm are welcomed with a complimentary tray of delicious cheeses (4 - 6 P.M.) along with an assortment of refreshing beverages. In the morning, a memorable hearty country breakfast is served, generally between 8 - 10 A.M.

It's certainly an awkward week for this edition of PBS' NOW on the former Senator's work to air, though maybe it'll benefit from increased interest in Edwards' extracurricular activities. [PBS]

No way are these worth the cost - SAD!
"These are pricey, so when I opened up the package I was surprised. They were much more delicate looking than I anticipated. Looked synthetic, not like high quality leather at all. Quite narrow. Felt uncomfortable on my medium/slightly wide foot. They didn't look like they'd last more than a year of wear. Instead of having that motorcycle boot look, they looked like a boot for tweens. Sent them back sadly."

Tyler Biggs Scores Awesome Goal In Marlies Practice
Jeff Veillette
September 24 2013 05:51PM
Another day, another practice at Toronto Marlies training camp. The roster is now at 17 skaters, and drills have become more team-based instead of individual as they near a pair of preseason games against Hamilton (what an original opponent!). Particularly interesting, personally, was the spin around faceoff drills, but I'll talk about that and include lots of pics in another post.
What you need to see, though? This goal from Tyler Biggs, scored as a few players goofed around after the scheduled end of practice:
You know, if this hockey thing doesn't work out, he may be able to get a deal with the Blue Jays.

Now that the dust has settled in the southern hemisphere, it's time to hand out praise to the star performers of Super Rugby, Round Three.
Now that the dust has settled in the southern hemisphere, we thought it only right to hand out praise to the stars of Super Rugby, Round Three.
The Rebels, Blues and also the Highlanders in defeat impressed over the recent weekend action while we had two second-rows who were head and shoulders above their tournament rivals.
So without further ado, herewith our selection.
Super Rugby: Team of Round Three
15 Jason Woodward (Rebels) – Jesse Mogg was much-improved over the weekend with a try and an assist while Israel Folau added two more tries to his season tally which is now up to five as he put himself in the right places. However, Rebel Woodward has clearly worked hard in the off-season and added to his running threat with a bit more power up top. He made over 100 metres against the Cheetahs and deserves his spot.
14 Asaeli Tikoirotuma (Chiefs) – An early shift as the Fijian wing deserved a place after he was a constant threat with ball in hand while he also impressed in the air on defence. The Chiefs have real strength in depth in their backs so to nail down a spot shows how good he is.
13 Tamati Ellison (Rebels) – A wise acquisition from the Melbourne franchise as Ellison alongside the sizeable Mitch Inman could become a decent combination. Opposing players Francois Venter and Johann Sadie made a combined 26 tackles which illustrates how busy they were with these two, as Ellison adds much needed experience to what looks like being an impressive backline. Mention for Blues scorer George Moala who was a beast on Friday.
12 Kurtley Beale (Waratahs) – Tough to leave out Shaun Treeby after a titanic effort for the Highlanders that saw him impress in all areas while Jan Serfontein at the Bulls also went well. But it seems the Wallabies might have another option at inside centre this season as Beale is clicking alongside Bernard Foley in the early rounds. He's enjoying getting his hands on the ball more and with a try and two assists on Saturday, he gets our nod.
11 Tevita Li (Blues) – He will remember that win over the Crusaders for a good while. Li is one of many attacking weapons at Sir John Kirwan's disposal as the Blues' backline cut the Crusaders to ribbons in patches. Li's try down the left wing saw him shrug off more than one tackler directly from a restart as the hosts' purple patch left their visitors reeling. Tom English may feel hard done to by the selection though and he has every reason following his 168 metre performance that saw him beat eleven defenders. Li's try sees him edge this.
10 Jacques-Louis Potgieter (Bulls) – Mentions straight off the bat for Blues debutant Simon Hickey and also Liam Sopoaga of the Highlanders, the latter kicking five from five in an impressive performance against the Chiefs. But over at Loftus Versfeld, the Bulls were desperate for a victory and needed a general at number ten who was going to take the right options. Step forward Potgieter, who returned with style, kicking very well against the Lions.
9 Tawera Kerr-Barlow (Chiefs) In the battle of the All Black nines in Waikato, we had Kerr-Barlow coming out on top following a physical yet well-balanced effort. The 23-year-old was not 100 percent fit to start in their opener but boy did he return with a bang against the Highlanders. Over 50 running metres, defenders beaten and also a solid showing in defence with ten tackles sees him take our scrum-half spot. Mention for Luke Burgess.
8 Scott Higginbotham (Rebels) – Alongside a lock to be named later, Higgingbotham's was one of the performances of the round as the number eight mixed power with speed, skills and yes, kicking. He set up Woodward for his score via quick thinking and a measured boot and showed real leadership qualities throughout, capping his shift off with a well-taken try.
7 Luke Braid (Blues) – With Richie McCaw having injured his thumb and Sam Cane also currently being out, Braid and the impressive John Hardie surely made All Blacks head coach Steve Hansen make a few notes after their respective performances for the Blues and Highlanders. Braid does so much unseen work and never leaves anything in reserve as his nineteen tackles proves. Hardie meanwhile was a rock and deserved his score.
6 Liam Messam (Chiefs) – Started at eight but moved back to blindside in the second-half, Messam was his general-like best as he led the Chiefs past a spirited Highlanders side. That is two weeks in a row both he and Aaron Cruden have been calming influences and his timely score seven minutes after the break brought the hosts right back into the game. Meanwhile, young Sean McMahon at the Melbourne Rebels went very well on debut.
5 Sam Carter (Brumbies) – We come to the lock department which was two of the easiest calls we've ever had to make. Alongside the busy Scott Fardy, who scored a try, Carter came of age against the Western Force as he beat three defenders, made the most tackles in his side (thirteen) and along with several others carried well. Ewen McKenzie take note.
4 Joe Wheeler (Highlanders) – Throwing it out there; possibly the stand-out performance of the round. Wheeler's work on restarts, in the line-out, defensively and also with ball in hand deserves rousing applause. Big things await the 26-year-old if he keeps this form going. A mention for Hurricanes workhorse Jeremy Thrush, who gave his all in Cape Town.
3 Coenie Oosthuizen (Cheetahs) – With continued game time in the tighthead jersey, one cannot underplay the lift that will give the Springboks going into the World Cup. Jannie du Plessis is hardly nailed on as a starter so if Oosthuizen keeps on putting in strong set-piece, carrying and defensive efforts such as the one that saw him make seventeen tackles against the Rebels then more international starts in the number three jersey await.
2 Liam Coltman (Highlanders) – Sideline reporter Nathan Sharpe mentioned that Stephen Moore is one of the the consistent players he has played with and we echo that sentiment. The Brumby was his hard-working best but we could not overlook a likely future All Black. Coltman improved greatly from last week, making line-breaks and twelve tackles.
1 Ben Franks (Hurricanes) – Got through a heap of work at Newlands and was unlucky to be on the losing side. Franks' move from the Crusaders a couple of years ago seems to have reenergised the prop and fifteen tackles – the most in the game – is a superb effort.

The national obsession that is the NCAA tournament arrives this weekend, a steady presence that will own the airwaves, sap your free time and culminate with the casual fan at your office winning the bracket jackpot.
Or that's the way it usually goes with March Madness.
UNDER PRESSURE: NCAA tournament officiating is a whole new ballgame
BRACKET PREDICTION: A look at field of 68 teams
This year, though, has been anything but typical. A volatile college hoops season defined by unprecedented parity and uncertainty atop the polls is setting up to deliver the most wide-open, unpredictable NCAA tournament in its 75-year history.
Indeed, coaches who have been drawing up X's and O's before their players were born say they've never seen a season like this. The tournament, they agree, could be one for the ages.
FAN VOTING: Picking NCAA's best of March Madness
The intoxicating combination of heart-stopping finishes and inexplicable outcomes has made obsessing over this journey a rite of spring in America, where work productivity crawls for three weeks as college basketball diehards and casual observers alike become fixated on a single bracket. Millions of dollars will change hands well beyond the gambling mecca that is Las Vegas.
When the 68-team tournament field is unveiled Sunday evening, and $5- and $10-dollar office pools begin to gel, expect some real diversity in the Final Four brackets. And when viewers settle in to watch a dizzying lineup of games on television or their tablets, they should buckle up for a wild ride.
"This is the most balance among the top 30 to 40 teams in the country," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski told USA TODAY Sports. "There are a lot of teams out there as potential deep run teams in the tournament, much more – much more – than any other season that I can remember."
BUBBLE WATCH: Why recent losses won't always deter an at-large bid
AUTO BIDS: NCAA tourney-bound teams
To illustrate the parity, coaches say if last year's tournament had been played 10 different times, a dominant Kentucky team (which won the national title) would likely have won the majority of them, with a North Carolina team at full strength possibly winning a few.
If this season's NCAA tournament were played 10 times, how many different winners would there be?
"Ten," Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. "Ten different winners. Absolutely."
That is why Kentucky coach John Calipari has been emphasizing with his team what a unique opportunity exists this season if the defending champion Wildcats can shake off their season-long inconsistency and squeeze into the tournament. The way Calipari sees it, as many as 40 teams – far more than ever before --- have a legitimate chance to reach the Final Four in Atlanta the first week of April.
1983 all over again?
Thirty years after the late Jim Valvano led North Carolina State on one of the most improbable national championship journeys in history — a No. 6 seed with 10 losses toppling two No. 1 seeds along the way — the elements could be in place for another unlikely champion to emerge from regular season obscurity and shock the basketball world.
"You know what is crazy about it?" Calipari said. "We could have the same kind of team win it this year. That was not happening last year. There were only two or three teams winning the national title last year. It was not happening. Sorry. This year, you can have the same kind of team that Jimmy V had."
Coaches say it's not out of the realm of possibility for other bracket-busting achievements to occur. Though a No. 16 seed has never beaten a No. 1 seed since the tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985, Louisville coach Rick Pitino said that if it is ever to occur, this will be the season, when the gap between the elite teams and everyone else is as small as it has ever been. He also said a double-digit seed could win the national championship for the first time.
Calling this season "as upside down as I have ever seen it," Mike Bobinski, the chairman of the NCAA tournament selection committee that will select and seed the teams, said the "unpredictable nature of the tournament is what makes this event what it is, and I think we will be in for all of that and then some this year."
March Madness comes with its own vernacular, which includes terms like "mid-major" program for a team that hails from outside a major conference and "Cinderella" team for an upstart that has a fairy tale run through the tournament's early rounds.
Perhaps it's appropriate that the top-ranked team in the USA TODAY Sports coaches poll is Gonzaga. The Bulldogs, who call Spokane, Wash., home and play in the lightly regarded West Coast Conference, were dubbed the quintessential Cinderella team when they reached the Elite Eight in 1999. Since then, Gonzaga has established itself as a national power while tossing aside the mid-major moniker.
"I think that term (mid-major) has really become obsolete," Indiana coach Tom Crean said.
Why the parity?
College basketball has seen a leveling of the playing field for well over a decade.
The most talented players are often one-and-doners, playing their freshmen year before bolting to the NBA. Though the marquee programs -- namely Kentucky, North Carolina and UCLA -- often possess the best freshmen, they are young and prone to stumbles against veteran teams from outside the major conferences.
To reach the Final Four in 2006, 11th-seeded George Mason upset three schools – North Carolina, Michigan State and Connecticut – that have now won a combined six national titles in the past 14 seasons.
"George Mason, when you have kids who stay four or five years, by the time they are juniors or seniors they are so far ahead of these great freshmen," said SMU coach Larry Brown, who has won a national title and an NBA championship.
Krzyzewski, too, emphasizes the importance of continuity: "Old with talent can beat young even with a little bit more talent, just because of the experiences and the road you have to travel to win the whole thing."
Veteran teams from major conferences this season, such as Kansas, which starts four seniors, and Miami, which has five seniors, are rare.
Add to that coaching, which is as good as it ever has been outside major conferences. Led by two young, fast-rising coaches, Butler reached back-to-back national title games in 2010 and 2011, and VCU made the 2011 Final Four as an 11 seed. Both schools will be in this year's tournament, and both are still stewarded by the same thirty-something coaches, Butler's Brad Stevens and VCU's Shaka Smart.
"You don't have to go," Boeheim said. "You can get great players, you really can. And those schools are rewarding them. They are paying them. They realize they have good jobs because there are enough players out there that did not get highly recruited that are really good."
The parity is felt most profoundly in the NCAA tournament, where Krzyzewski said it is easier to lose than ever before. To that point, before last year's tournament, a No. 15 seed had upset a No. 2 seed just four times. Then it occurred twice last season, with Norfolk State stunning Missouri, and Lehigh ousting Duke.
During this regular season, two results have been on par with those jaw-dropping outcomes, serving perhaps as harbingers for what's to come over the next three weeks. TCU, which had lost all but one conference game by double digits, knocked off No. 5 Kansas in an outcome that was the equivalent of a No. 16 seed beating a No. 1 seed. A few weeks later, No. 4 Michigan lost at Penn State, another team that had been winless in conference play.
A post-upset era
The NCAA defines an upset as a team beating an opponent whose seed is five or more spots lower -- such as a 6 seed knocking off a 1, or a 12 seed defeating a 5. But with this tournament, we might be entering a post-upset world, where parity is so prevalent that any team has a reasonable expectation to beat any other team.
"I don't know if I have ever seen an NCAA tournament field like this, where there will not be major upsets," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I think there will be less major upsets than there have ever been. I think there will be minor upsets. A 7 seed beating a 2 should not be considered a major upset at all this year."
Added North Carolina coach Roy Williams: "The word 'upset' is so overused, it is ridiculous."
It is why Baylor, an erratic team that clung to slim NCAA tournament hopes, could pummel Kansas by 23 points last Saturday.
Look around the country and you won't find any great team, none on par with 2012 Kentucky's freshmen-centric team or 2009 North Carolina's overpowering team of veterans. Instead, several formidable but slightly flawed teams have been taking turns atop the polls.
You won't find a transcendent talent like former Kentucky star Anthony Davis or former Texas star Kevin Durant. There are several very good players, none of whom is guaranteed to be an NBA all-star, said Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress, a web site that analyzes NBA prospects and projects the league's draft.
"Many years ago, some experts said the one-and-done will ruin the college game, the college game will be no good, which is absolutely the opposite," Boeheim said. "The college game is stronger because you have more balance. You have more good teams. Every state has a team that can win -- every state!"
All of which makes filling out a winning NCAA tournament bracket more challenging than ever. From major conferences like the Big East and Big Ten to less recognized leagues like the WCC and Atlantic-10, more teams than ever harbor realistic hopes of cutting down the nets in Atlanta on April 8.
"It is probably good for college basketball because there is no one you can pencil into the Final Four," Arkansas coach Mike Anderson said. "It tickles me when I hear all the prognosticators, all the guys predicting this or that, because nobody knows this season. Nobody knows."

Holiday parties are in full swing. There are all kinds of parties, from your neighborhood open house to the office party.
So let's concentrate on party foods. Those tasty little bites we long to load up our plates with. To properly feed a party we need a variety of foods for our guests to munch on. Many appetizer recipes can be time consuming and complex, however, some are rather simple. Either way your guests do notice if you made the appetizers yourself. It is a very positive reflection on the host or the generous guest.
So, make them yourself and keep all the cooking satisfaction in your own kitchen. Both of the recipes featured today can be made in advance thereby taking the stress off the day of your event. Here are two simple recipes to get you started.
Cinnamon Pecans1 large egg white 1 tsp water 1 lb whole pecans1 cup sugar 1/4 tsp salt1 1/2 tbl cinnamon
Preheat oven to 300°F.
Whisk together egg white and water in a large bowl to achieve soft peaks, stir in nuts. Blend together sugar, salt and cinnamon and stir into nuts, coating well. Spread nuts on 2 foil lined baking sheets, lightly coated with non stick spray. Bake in oven for about 35 minutes until thoroughly dried. Toss after the first 15 minutes. Cool and store in a zip lock bag. Will keep for a month.
(Optional ingredients, 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg and/or a pinch of ground cloves)
Cherry Tomatoes Stuffed with Goat Cheese and Bacon
1 Pint Cherry Tomatoes
4 oz garlic & herb flavored goat cheese, (such as Boursin)
5 Slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1 tbl fresh Italian parsley minced
Cut a slice off the top of each cherry tomato and gently scoop out the inside flesh being careful not to poke through the bottom. Note: if the cherry tomato will not readily stand upright you may have to slice off a very small amount of the bottom to make it flat.
Bring goat cheese to room temperature and combine with crumbled bacon.
Place cheese mixture into the corner of a zip lock bag squeezing out as much air as possible. Snip the corner off of the bag and squeeze out the cheese mixture into the cherry tomatoes, garnish with the parsley.
This can be made a day ahead, covered and refrigerated until the party. Allow to come to room temperature before service.
(Optional ingredients, minced green onion instead of the parsley)

Krasner's reputation as a colourist was established early in her career. Cool white, by contrast, is painted with a sombre palette restricted to umber and white. It was painted during a difficult time for the artist, who was still coping with the grief of Jackson Pollock's death and having difficulties with the Pollock Estate. In addition, her mother died in 1959 and an exhibition scheduled by Clement Greenberg for French and Company was cancelled.[1] Of the paintings of 1959, Krasner recalled:
I painted a great many of them because I couldn't sleep nights. I got tired of fighting insomnia and tried to paint instead. And I realized that if I was going to work at night I would have to knock out color altogether, because I couldn't deal with color except in daylight.[2]
Krasner began Cool white,and others from the group, in East Hampton in 1959, and continued the series until 1962. The development of The gate1959, one of the first paintings, is recorded in photographs by Halley Erskine; these show how the artist began with a biomorphic sketch, and document her progression on the work, until she decided its final form.[3] The extreme monochrome palette of The gateand its explosive brushwork project a rawness and intensity which, as Ellen Laudau points out, was unprecedented in her oeuvre to date.[4] Indeed when Cool white and The gate, along with others from the series, were shown at the Howard Wise Gallery, New York, in 1960 and 1962, the energy and sheer physicality of the works was much remarked.[5]
Commentators then, as now, also remarked on the close connections—in size, gesture and composition—to Pollock's work, and the ways in which Krasner, in the Umber and white paintings, seemingly took it upon herself to 'continue' his achievements.[6]Cool white is dotted with staring eyes (as are several other paintings from the series)[7], an image which is consistent within her whole oeuvre. Although previously suspicious of Jungian ideas of self-knowledge, Krasner allowed herself, in the process of making these works, to delve further into her identity. As she later told Cindy Nemser, 'My painting is so biographical, if anyone can take the trouble to read it.'[8] Laudau summarises the impact of Cool white and other works from the Umber and white series:
By using these pictures as vehicles to express the ongoing, and to all appearances death-defying, continuity of her tempestuous relationship with Pollock, Krasner exposed in a particularly poignant way the deeply personal roots of her artistic impulse. In the process, she produced a dramatic set of canvases whose mythic, explosive quality vividly projects her turmoil and inner rage.[9]
If the colour of these paintings was sombre, their execution was anything but subdued. As Barbara Rose observes: 'No grid of compartments confines the raging energies that animate the brush loaded with thick paint, now slapped or dragged across the canvas, leaving a trail of flaring drips and sputtering comet‑like flashes of paint. The all-over images and glazed transparencies of these works suggest wind‑whipped storms or glacial events.'[10] Towards the end of the Umber and white series, Krasner began to introduce a small amount of reddish-maroon and, when she started to work again in natural light, her boisterous re-adoption of colour signalled new beginnings and new concerns.

[9] Laudau (1995, p. 182) goes on to comment that these canvases, alternatively ferocious and lyrical, are 'animated by Krasner's distinctive, newly powerful backhand motional, advancing rhythmically from right to left in huge, predominantly curvilinear sweeps and arcs of pigment with drips and modular markings produced by vigorous thrusting and stabbing with a brush. From time to time, Krasner incorporated multiple staring eyes, an image reverberating with references to her own earlier work. Other repeated marks suggest foliage, wind, sparks, feathers and wings.'

When the Cancer Research Institute was founded in 1953, we knew then that immune-based treatments would transform cancer medicine. In more than six decades since, we've made numerous groundbreaking discoveries that have given more patients new hope today.
March 12, 2013 | Alexandra Mulvey
Yesterday, the New York Times published an article about a recent study finding that only about a third of ovarian cancer patients receive the known best standard of care—the treatment recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), a group of the most highly credited cancer treatment centers in the United States. According to the article, "Most women with ovarian cancer receive inadequate care and miss out on treatments that could add a year or more to their lives." This is a shocking finding, but there are some key takeaways.
Much of the reason for the inadequate level of care is that patients are often treated by their gynecologists or local surgeons at hospitals with little experience treating ovarian cancer patients, rather than by specialized gynecologic oncologists in medical centers with adequate experience. So the biggest takeaway is that patients who want to ensure that they receive the highest quality care should seek doctors who are specially trained to treat ovarian cancer and at medical centers with significant experience with treating patients with the disease, such as major academic medical centers including those that are part of the NCCN.
In addition to receiving the best standard of care, there is another reason to consider seeking out treatment at these sites—they are more likely to be aware of and offer opportunities to participate in clinical trials. The NCCN, in fact, believes that the best management of any cancer patient is in a clinical trial. As a clinical trial participant, patients are guaranteed to receive the most current standard of care, as well as access to new experimental treatments that could end up proving more beneficial. For information about some of the potential benefits of clinical trials, see our section About Clinical Trials.
Clinical trials may be important options for patients with cancer today, and are absolutely critical to testing and bringing new treatments to patients in the future. This is especially the case with cancer immunotherapies. With so few immunotherapies for cancer reaching approval to date—and hundreds more being tested in clinical trials—these trials represent the future of cancer treatment, and we will only get there through patient participation. In addition to taking charge of their care by seeking out well-trained doctors at expert medical centers, we encourage all patients—with ovarian and other cancers—to empower themselves by learning about and considering the option to enroll in clinical trials.
If you would like to get a sense of the cancer immunotherapy trials that are out there and that you might be eligible for, check out our Cancer Immunotherapy Clinical Trial Finder or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com. We're happy to help you find a trial that might be right for you!

Too Tall and Narrow
"I really wanted to love these wedges and while they were super sexy and fit well, they were just too tall. Most of my wedges have a 1 Inch platform and a 4 inch wedge heel. These had a 1 1/2 inch platform and a 4 3/4 inch wedge heel. That may not sounds like much of a difference but it really does make a difference in terms of stability as well as comfort."

Skip to comments.Squelching the Tea Party Gave Obama the Election
Posted on 05/20/2013 6:49:19 AM PDT by SeekAndFind
Remember all the headlines during the election, wondering what happened to the Tea Party, the liberal crowing that it had gone silent?
NPR, February 2012: "Strong in 2010, Where Is the Tea Party Now?" - "what's most striking about the movement this election has been its notable absence." Mother Jones, "The Tea Party is Dead." ." ABC: "What Happened to the Tea Party?" New York Times, June 2012: "The Movement Has Fizzled Out."
Remember how odd it was hear conservative pundits saying, 'our voters would crawl over broken glass to vote against Obama', while pollsters correctly predicted that Republican turnout would be nowhere near what it was in 2010? Remember 2010, when the Tea Party grassroots roared? Remember 2012, when the Tea Party was missing? Obama lost Democrat votes in the 2012 election. He won because Republicans stayed home. Democrats got their vote out, we didn't. The contrast between Republican turnout in 2010 and 2012 can be summed up in two words:
Tea Party.

Welcome to the USSA.
Shut up and be a good comrade if you know what's good for you!
The "illegal" President is now running an "illegal" presidency
Anyone who voted for Hussein in 2012 deserves America's contempt.
Both sides were in cahoots. The republican party did literally everything possible to make the worst possible and the most moderate-liberal candidate the republican nominee. Any and all challengers were destroyed while their candidate was buoyed and supported. Conservatism was being attached from both sides so that the welfare state could live on. Both at the national and local levels, Tea Party supported candidates were prevented from getting nominations. No surprise that there were a slew of defeats in senate elections across the country.
The democrat party doesn't like the Tea Party and neither does the republican party. They id what ever was necessary to water down that anti-incumbent, anti-government fervor. John Boehner's committee appointments and Mitch McConnell's continuous treachery are examples of this.
And today, here in Massachusetts, John McCain is working to get another worthless moderate republican elected to the senate.
Circular firing squads tend to self-destruct
Add in the total idiocy of the legitimate rape morons and the Romney weenie and you have a sure loss.
All throughout I was puzzled by the absence of any hard-hitting third party issue ads in the wake of the Citizens United decision.
Now we know why.
RE: Legitimate rape
The idiocy cuts both ways. Those who finally DID NOT vote for Todd Akin and Richar Murdock for just one stupid statement in order to allow the Democrat (who is FOR killing babies) to win, are even more idiotic.
Protest Obamas IRS at your local IRS Office or Post Office at Noon, May 21.
Gadsden Flags are optional.
Details on Michelle Malkins blog.
Romney was the reason we lost last time. McCain the time before that.
Sure Obama was in the right place, at the right time, but face it we ran terrible candidates both times.
What we need is strong candidates. Not Obama-bashing.
Palin / Cruz would be a good start.
It was a good bait and switch the whole time that the right was focused on the usual voter fraud like box stuffing and dead people voting they end ran with the IRS because nobody was watching. I love that NObama gave the speech he did at Ohio State saying to ignore those that say government is evil. That should be played non-stop along in conjunction with clips about the IRS and AP scandals to drive home he is a liar and corrupt moron.
Many from right here on FR.
I agree and would have still voted against the rat if I voted there. The problem is we are dealing with a population of people who are 50% stupid and below average intelligence. Candidates have to be smarter than that.
The loss by Romney was explained (even by conservatives) as the failure by Romney's team basically to get out the vote.
If harrassment and targeting by the IRS to Tea Party groups
to endlessly thwart them from the non-profit status they were seeking to streamline their fundraising and make them the "force" they had every right to assume they'd be in the election, then why did it take so long for them to make an issue of it? I'm not saying it wasn't a factor, maybe even a big one, but if it was decisive, it looks like it's become the most painful lesson this neophyte new force in American Politics has yet had to learn. They seemed a little slow on the uptake on this issue to have only brought it out now,or have it brought out on their behalf, this long after the election. What is ALWAYS SAID about the Tea Party is that it is no one monolithic or particularly well-organized group, but hundreds of regional groupings with the same basic philosophy, but different emphases on strategy and style. As one who has been in it from the beginning, I know that's true. Looking for answers now for what happened in the last election, that very fact may offer a key as to how and why the Tea Party nationally was neutered-—they simply didn't know this was happening to dozens, maybe hundreds, of
those applying for the non-profit status, but just them alone. OR, they knew it was wider than just them, but didn't know how to organize and join with all others , make a lot of noise approaching the election, and scream "We're not being allowed to raise money the way everyone else is!"
This article is needs to be investigated. Obama lost 4.5 million votes in 2012 compared to 2008. Romney secured 1 million more votes than McCain. However, the 2010 mid-term were historical numbers. The GOP received 2.5 million more votes than the Democrats received in 2006. Romney only got 16 million more votes than the GOP 2010 congress, but Obama got 28 million more than the Democrats.
The article itself or the numerical statements of the article?
Just testing my understanding of your statement ;)
Is this Fraud or RICO ???
People are now afraid of being identified with being Republicans.
Republicans are more likely than Democrats to be audited. More likely to have the press assume they're 'the terrorists' when a bomb goes off - even when it's always a radical Muslim...
More likely to be represented badly by Hollywood...
If Republicans leaders can't defend us, they're finished. Why should we vote for people who wave the white flag when bullies hurt us?
I'll bet a lot of people are now afraid of being identified with being Republican. Republicans are more likely than Democrats to be audited. More likely to have press assume they're 'the terrorists' when a bomb goes off - even when it's always a radical Muslim...
If Republicans can't defend us, they're finished. Why should we vote for people who wave the white flag before making any effort?
If they can't defend their base, they can't defend the country either.
Doesn't bode well for our side - if folks are able to be so handily squelched, they have won and it's only going to get worse. Even SCOTUS is loath to upset the apple cart and nobody is willing to "put the country through the agony of a real government shakeup". Without using the strongarm tactics of the Left, we are doomed to continue the slide towards tyranny. Lots of folks talk, but getting the gumption to take real action is problematic.
There were a lot of reasons why 0bama won the election. IRS repression was one, but only one of many. The list, in order:
1. A dumbed-down electorate incapable or unwilling to engage in critical thought;
2. A permanently dependent class of parasites whose votes have been purchased with other people's money;
3. A partisan media-entertainment complex that acts as the propaganda arm of the democrat party;
4. A weak Republican Presidential candidate who could not sell himself or appeal to the average American;
5. Vote fraud in it's many forms (I personally think there were many Republican votes cast, that were simply not counted);
6. IRS repression of opposition groups.
There are probably a few others, but I thought these were the main ones.
The outcome of the 2012 election is much more complex than just one issue. At the top of the list was an uninspiring GOP Presidental candidate who's GOTV effort imploded in spectacular fashion (everyone remembers ORCA, right?)
That having been said, I'm sure that the IRS intimidation contributed, somewhat. And would have made a difference had the election been exceptionally close. It probably did impact the outcome of a couple Senate and a few House races.
The biggest impact tho was the suppression of knowlege of the targeting. Had that come out and hit the press in late September or early October I
have no doubt Romney would be President.
Right now the emphasis should be on defining and documenting the scope of the impact. I hope that Conservative groups' lawyers are out there now gathering affidavits on ALL scenarios where the IRS targeting had an impact on the formation and operations of Conservative groups.
Ok Obama, you won that round, but we have another round coming in 2014—and this time we are going to punish you and your whole crew —your cheatin' ways will not will this fight! When the Revived Tea Parties hit back your whole party will be tossed into the ash heap of history—Democrats will be right next to the Whigs of old.
True the Vote, Tea Party Express, etc. need to be TIMES TEN!
I'm not afraid to write a check. Anyone who tries auditing me will become famous—because you'll see it all posted here.
If that caused anyone to not vote, they wouldn't have voted to begin with...I don't know anyone that would let that stop them from going to the polls to vote....
Interesting map.
All 4 "black" states have Republican Sec of State.
So we can't blame the Soros Project.
It's "our" own people in charge of the voting process.
The Soros Project was to elect Democrat Secretary of State candidates to allow "progressives" to control state election processes.
It actually backfired by 2010.
All the swing states have Republican SoS.
You can blame RINOs, but the project failed.
This needs to be addressed before too many folks start thinking that the ballot box of liberty is closed.
There are only two left, as far as I can see...
The moving box, moving to a state that asserts its 10th amendment sovereignty,
and the cartridge box.
It's a coup.
Well, that and massive election fraud, and foisting Rombag on us didn't help, either. But IMHO Romney would have won without the election fraud.

Love the Sandals!
"I was looking for Leopard sandals & I'm so glad I found these on DSW. They are very cute & comfortable. My only complaint is that the material feels very thin on top, hopefully it will last a long time; as I have never bought this brand before. Also the leopard color is a little lighter than I thought it would be & is a matte finish, not shiny."

Fred Williams will open on 12 August 2011
Putting together a major artist retrospective is an important challenge for a curator, demanding a meaningful exploration of the artist's career over time. Curator Deborah Hart has travelled all over Australia to view works held in public and private collections to find key examples from different stages of Fred Williams's artistic development.
There are particular periods when an artist like Williams was producing many works of a high standard and the decisions become quite difficult. The curator has to consider carefully the inter-relationships between the works in each room and the flow of works across the whole exhibition, with the aim of bringing together a cohesive, inspiring and lively exhibition.
One of the techniques Deborah Hart uses when building an idea of the works she will include in an exhibition is to pin images she has been looking at over a long period on boards in her office. These boards help to keep the works in the curator's mind as she is working, and assist when she begins to consider how groups of works might be best displayed together in the exhibition.

Nation Gallery of Australia Foundation Fundraising Gala Dinner & American Friends of the National Gallery of Australia Visit
On 17 March 2011, 12 guests from the American Friends of the National Gallery of Australia arrived in Canberra. Over the course of six days our American friends participated in a program of events in Canberra and Sydney that was designed to familiarise them with the Gallery, the national art collection and the visual arts in Australia more broadly. This group of committed supporters are great ambassadors for the National Gallery of Australia. Their goal is to raise awareness and attract further support by sharing their passion for Australia and her national visual arts institute with their American friends and colleagues.
The American Friends visit coincided with the fourth annual National Gallery of Australia Foundation Fundraising Gala Dinner, held on Saturday 19 March 2011. The evening began with French champagne and the unveiling of two exquisite Indian pichhavai (or shrine hangings) acquired with funds donated by guests and other generous supporters. One of the principal philanthropic events on the visual arts calendar, the Gala Dinner is an evening of fine art, good food and spirited good company.
If you would like to support the National Gallery of Australia through the Foundation please contact the Executive Director, Maryanne Voyazis on 02 6240 6691.
This year's Masterpieces for the Nation campaign is now in full swing with donations made used to acquire Nora Heysen's striking Self-portrait 1932, a much admired painting and an important addition to the national art collection. Heysen painted Self-portrait in 1932 at the age of 21. She was living in South Australia, her home state, with which she maintained strong connections throughout her life. The Gallery seeks to represent art from each state and territory in Australia and has for some time sought to better represent this important South Australian-born artist. The acquisition of Self-portrait 1932 is particularly significant in 2011 which marks the centenary of Heysen's birth.
Many thanks to those generous donors who have already contributed towards the acquisition of this significant painting.
If you would like to make a donation please enquire here firstname.lastname@example.com
Explore, expand, excite—three words which aptly describe why, 29 years on, I am still a voluntary guide at the National Gallery of Australia. A guide's role encompasses all three: exploring works of art with visitors either on tours of the Australian, Indigenous or International collections or in smaller groups such as A Little Look at Art—for young families, or Rendezvous With Art in which small groups explore and discuss a theme with guides. We relish expanding our knowledge through research. Schoolchildren are by far our largest audience and we hope to excite them to return, look more and come to love art. Other special groups who come on booked tours are Preschoolers, People with Special Access Needs, Carers and our Alzheimers group. My hope is to make a difference and help people to really look at the works of art.

Free guided tours are held at these times:

|In response to Re: Mounting toilet flange to basement rough-in
: When I had my house built, the plumbing contractor roughed-in waste lines for a half bath. I'm ready to finish up the bath now and am confused about how to mount the toilet flange given what I see coming out of the concrete floor.
: I am not installing a subfloor; vinyl flooring directly onto concrete.
: I see a large PVC pipe rise approx. 1" out of the concrete. I measure 5" OD on this pipe. Inserted (and presumably solvent welded as I see purple cleaner)
: Given that I want the toilet to basically sit on the concrete (height of vinyl flooring can't be more than 1/8"), I'm not sure how to proceed. I think I have to cut the large pipe almost flush (allow for vinyl floor thickness) with the concrete and then find a toilet flange that slips inside this large pipe. I looked for a toilet flange but see nothing that had a 4.5 OD".
: I'm beginning to suspect that the contractor assumed I would have sub-floor. This is not possible d/t transition into bathroom and ceiling height limits. I really don't want to have to build up a small toilet pedestal to get around this problem.
: Any suggestions would be appreciated.
