When I was growing up one of the favorite things we used to like to do as a family was go to the beach. Now living in Southern California we were about an hour from a place called Zuma Beach. Zuma was just a quiet strip along the coastal part of highway 101. About 10 minutes from the famous Malibu Beach where all the Hollywood stars live.
A person cannot easily get into or on the Malibu scene unless you are someone who owns a piece of beach front property. Its all very, very quiet. So we peons didn't even try. We were content to chase waves and build sand castles on Zuma.
I don't know about others, but when our family went to the beach in late l940s it was an all day affair. At that time it took about two and a half hours to drive there. ( It was only later when they got the freeways in that it took a hour.)
I remember one time in particular when we started out for one of those family days and we never did arrive at the beach because we had so much car trouble. Here is what happened.
Somebody got up one hot, summer day and it was suggested that we spend the day at the beach. So we all got busy getting packed.Have you ever noticed when you go with a friend in their car, all you have to do is grab your beach towel, a pair of sunglasses, your flippy flops and you are good to go.
Now for some reason when you go to the beach with your mom and dad, you end up taking everything but the kitchen sink. At least our family did. We had to take beach chairs, and beach balls, and floating things, food and drinks , blankets to sit on, umbrellas, sun tan lotion an extra change of clothes and then Noxzema to put on your nose. Plus don't forget your sun glasses and on and on.
By the time we had everything gathered, there would hardly be room for us in the car. We looked like the exodus of Moses from the Egyptians.
Then we had friends who heard that we were going and ask to go along.("They won't take up much room, she can sit on my lap.")
We had to pack everybody and everything into our little old Ford and skidaddle before we ended up taking the whole town with us. Well, this particular time we were not two miles from home when we had a flat tire.
Now we all have to pile out and unpack to get to the spare to change the tire. There was a lot of groans and carrying on when that happened. But we got the job done and started out again.
Now we are automobiling up and around the canyon laughing and having a great time. Telling ourselves the whole morning is shot but that is alright because we still have the rest of the day when whammy! We have some kind of car trouble.
Now things are getting a little serious as we all pile out again and play with the beach ball by the side of the road and Dad yells and says some choice words and of course we get hungry as the noon hour comes and goes. It is hot and we spread out the blanket and say "Aren't we glad we brought along some sandwiches and drinks. Oh well, we might as well eat."
We wait for Dad and some guy who has stopped to help to repair the car. After a couple of hours of repair work, we wonder if we should just turn around and go home. Then someone saves the day by reminding Dad and Mom that we are over half way there and it would be a crime to waste the afternoon. SO we all do the same procedure all over again. Climb into the car and proceed over the canyon and through the woods to our destination.
We haven't gone very far when you guessed it! We have another flat tire! Now that is the straw that broke the camels back. Dad has to hitch a ride to get the tire fixed. Cousin Bob stays with the family to make sure we are protected and we ended up having our beach party by the side of the road.
Needless to say we were all pretty glad to get home safe and sound that night. One good thing about it was that Dad didn't have to clean the car out from all the sand we were told not to drag into the car and we children had a backyard slumber party instead of a bath to get all the sand and salt out of our hair.
Well, that is my world or was my world. Until next time remember those infamous words of Herbert Henry Asquith "Youth would be an ideal state if it came a little later in life."

I've recently started to remodel my main bathroom and feal that I've opened a can of worms.
1st task was / still is the cast iron tub removal. In attempting to remove the old tub I found that the exterior plywood on an outside wall in the tub stall to be wet (not damp, but wet). No leaks apparent from up above and no run off from this into the basement immeidately below. Also, no pipes above this area. The tiled wall does not appear to be in bad shape and the insulation was damp (not wet). Also on the other two (interior) walls, do not show this problem, even though there was some apparent leaking going on before I purchased the house 3 years ago.
Question1: Could this be condensation trapped in the wall from a leak session years ago or maybe it is getting through the grout and the moisture is building up / remaining? I'll bet this wall has gotten pretty cold this year (New Hampshire).
Question2: How do I fix or avoid this problem?
Question3: Assuming moisture is somehow still getting through, would I have to replace this entire wall?
Any suggestions on the course of action?
BTW: Going to be breaking the tub up this week with a 20 pound sledge hammer!

As most people know, I have always loved to fly. Being a pilot gives me an interesting perspective. With a bird's eye view of our beautiful state - from our expanding cities along the Wasatch Front to canyon country and our northern forests - my love for Utah runs deep. But these days, from the air, I can also see how fast Utah is changing - and I can see the congestion and pollution that threaten our quality of life. How will we make room for 1 million more people by 2020? The question isn't if we're going to grow, it's how. Now is the time to plan wisely for growth and protect what makes Utah special. This is why I support Initiative 1.
Initiative 1 will raise $150 million in conservation bonds to protect our sources of drinking water, wildlife, farm and ranchlands, parks and trails, open space and cultural and historic landmarks - all for only $14 per year for the average Utah family. It is a conservative measure based on the principal of stewardship: we owe it to future generations to prudently conserve the natural resources that add so much to our quality of life today. And it's not just our quality of life that's at stake; it's our economy. From our redrock canyons to our ski slopes, from the Great Salt Lake to our rivers and streams, Utah's natural heritage is our competitive advantage that attracts tourism and new business to our state.
How can we afford to pass Initiative1? The real question is, how can we afford not to? For instance, my former Senate colleagues in the east tell of spending billions of dollars for water treatment plants in order to obtain potable water - but, by protecting our canyons, farmlands and watersheds today, we can do the same here in Utah for far less. It also makes sense, during these times of low interest rates, to obtain conservation financing at 3-4percent at a time when land prices are escalating at 8-10 percent. In the long run, this timely investment in Utah's future will save taxpayers millions.
Initiative 1 is not about wilderness or our pubic lands - it's about maintaining the quality of life where we live. It honors private property rights, prohibits condemnation, ensures all transactions will be completed on a willing seller basis and guarantees lands will remain on the tax rolls. Initiative 1 funds will be awarded to projects by the Quality Growth Commission, which has an outstanding record managing conservation funds, on a competitive basis - and all finances will be subject to annual audits and legislative review.
I also like Initiative 1's emphasis on local control by involving local governments and civic leaders in the decision making process. While most funding will be available for land and water protection, enhancement programs to improve wildlife habitat, soils, and groundwater management will also be eligible. And in rural communities with different quality growth priorities, projects to build trails, recreational facilities and protect historic landmarks can be funded too. Initiative 1 is about more than just open space.
Initiative 1 has strong bi-partisan support from The Salt Lake Tribune, The Deseret News, KSL TV, both gubernatorial candidates, numerous conservation groups and business and civic leaders statewide. It is a balanced proposal that puts people first - by allowing landowners and local communities to protect what's special to them, without government control, on an entirely voluntary basis.
Finally, when I think of what other states are doing in this area, I have to ask: are we as Utahns any less proud of our natural environment? In recent years conservation bonds have passed in Nevada ($200 million), Colorado ($170 million) and Arizona ($173 million) - while Utah's only state source for this purpose, the LeRay McAllister Fund, has been cut 74 by the Legislature to less than $800,000 today. Our neighboring states recognize how important these investments are to make. It's time we did too.
There's an old saying, "I didn't plan to fail, I just failed to plan." As a pilot, I can literally see this happening from the air. We can invest now by passing Initiative 1, or we can "fail to plan" and become just another western state. For me this is an easy choice. With great foresight, our forefathers carefully laid out our cities and set aside places so we can enjoy the Utah we do today. Now it's our turn to plan - and our turn to give something back. On November 2 I'm voting Yes on Initiative 1. I hope you will too.

Sometimes the Oilers gas one in the Battle of Alberta and you don't even get to see the game. Sometimes you buy bunk celebrity nudie magazines. Sometimes the haters start to get you down. What can you do right?
You write about it. That's what you do.
Disappointment #1: Oilers lose the Battle of Alberta, we are working during the game.
We were so excited to go to war in the Battle of Alberta on the Nation. Like seriously we were excited-like-this-kid-is-excited excited:
As the big day of the game drew near it became more and more clear that we were going to have to go out of town for the day job for the weekend. This is one of the few suck things about the day job. We are often cut off from real life and sent out of town. We figured on game night we would duck out early, head to the hotel and plug into $20 internet access just in time for puck drop. To keep from boring you to tears of blood about our night, not only did we not get to participate in the GDB – which reads hilariously by the way – but we didn't even get to see the game. Sometimes we feel like life is passing us by. No joke.
Silver lining #1: Loved reading the GDB
When we read the opinions of Flames fans addressing the OilersNation and the thundering replies we nearly died laughing. It's exactly as we hoped it would be. We have absolutely no idea what people around the league think of the Oil. Finding out what Flames fans think obviously couldn't possibly matter less, but it is non-stop awesome watching the Citizens of the Nation banding together and defending the fortress.
There is no doubt that while the Oilers may limp along during the season, the OilersNation would go 82-0 defeating all the fans of all the other teams. It's not even close. We have to figure out how to find more reinforcements for the seven Flames fans that dared enter the Nation and engaged us all in battle. Perhaps the Oil could do us the slightest favor and win a game or two. That couldn't hurt our swagger.
Promise #1: We are working on a way to bring JL meetings with you using some variety of mobile application.
Maybe it's an iPhone application or something you can download onto your BlackBerry. All we know is that we want to be connected to our precious Nation 24/7 so that when we are sitting in a banquet missing the entire game we can ask the JL "what is happening? What is the score?" 147 times per period. Yeah, that will be so sweet.
Anyway you slice it we are committed to working at a day job to pay for the upgrades to the Nation so we can miss Battle of Alberta games because of the day job required to pay for the Nation. Makes a lot of sense doesn't it?
Shut up.
Disappointment #2: The Aubrey O'Day Playboy
Yeah we buy celebrity nudie magazines. So what? Wanna fight about it?
If anyone out there doesn't know who Aubrey O'Day because they are living in some variety of underground bunker – she is one of these quasi-singers recruited via reality TV to a band that will soon be forgotten. In Aubrey's case the show was Making the Band and the band is Danity Kane. Miss O'Day is hands down one of the wildest dames in all of music today. So when we read that she has upped her game from flashing passing motorists on a freeway to posing in Playboy we knew we had to get ourselves some of that. And quick.
Quick question: Did anyone else know that Playboy is basically as interesting as an issue of Canadian Home and Garden? We had no idea that we would be buying a crappy version of Maxim with 2% more nudity and 98% less interesting articles. We sat down to look at some cans and ended up reading a seven page article written by the brother of the Unabomber (true story.) Even worse, the photos of O'Day were so photoshopped and looked so little like her that it could have been Sandra Day O'Connor for all we could tell. This could not be more disappointing to us.
Silver lining #2: There is no silver lining when you spend your hard earned dough on bunk celebrity nudie magazines. There just isn't. *looks at Aubrey O'Day playboy sitting on desk at Nation HQ, shakes fist at cover*
Disappointment #3: Haters
Crappy nudie magazines aside, one of the biggest disappointments of the past 12 months has been the number of haters that have come out of the woodwork and are trying to mess with our junk here on the interwebs. Now we have to admit we don't necessarily know who all the blogs are out there and who everyone one is. We follow a couple dozen sweet blogs and when we find Nation haters out there we generally just go somewhere else. It's really easy to do but apparently our haters feel the need to visit here on a regular basis and rant and rave. At the present time we are spending a ton of time defending the Nation from hater commenters, hater bloggers, hater reporters and even worse types of uber-haters out there.
We are all for freedom of speech but it is getting to be a bit much. We want to spend our time debating Liam Reddox's contributions on the fourth line and drawing pretty pictures, not dealing with Buzz Killeringtons and their complete and utter bullshit. We don't mind deleting commentary here and there. There is a special thrill that comes with writing swear words and poo poo talk on a website. We get that. It's when it goes a step further and leaves the zone of "slightly annoying shit" and enters into the realm of "shit-where-people-are-just-being-dicks-for-the-sake-of-being-dicks-type-shit" that it starts to really break us down.
Recent example? Jason Gregor's "plagarism."
Holy fuck people. You're serious right? We come up with a contest idea of suggesting a promotion for a soon-to-be-craptacular Oil Cats game. Gregor tells us he will dig up some stuff and sends us an article complete with list of promotions for minor league baseball teams to get the brains of the Nation started. He doesn't even charge us for the article and donates the tickets from his own personal stash for a Nation reader to win. We paste the article into our little blogging software which takes out the formatting and fonts and we don't realize that there are quotes in it cause as per usual we are doing 1000 things at once. Could you have a geekier mistake that couldn't be of less consequence once it is fixed?
Let's be very clear here: Honest mistake by me. Not Gregor at all in any way, shape or form.
So then someone reading the article is genuinely clever enough to figure out that these promotion descriptions are from other articles and points it out. Fair enough - that is certainly worth bringing to the attention of the class. We get that and would never delete that kind of commentary. Instead we read the comment and almost have a heart attack when we realize what we did and quickly text Gregor an apology. He classily says "honest mistake dude don't worry about it." Then a boatload of folk barrage him with comments and personal emails as though they are detectives on the trail of the crime of the century.
You're serious right? Jason Gregor – actual big time journalist that makes appearances daily on radio, internet and even national TV – is going run the risk of being busted plagiarizing on an article about minor league baseball promotions as a pretext to give away his own Oilers tickets? Do you know how many times we beg Gregor to give away tickets on here? We literally ask him once a week. Think he is going to be in a rush to give us tickets again? For heavens sakes haters. Get a dose of reality. We personally could give two squirts of piss about people who hate this website.
But what if these haters somehow piss off the real writers on here enough that they:
- Stop trying as hard
- Don't give away tickets or heaven forbid
- Decide that the $1.24 we pay per article isn't worth it and quit writing
Wouldn't that be a treat?
So yeah. From now the authors have the ability to delete comments on their own articles. If that keeps them happy and frees us up to do other Nation stuff then so be it. We love the Nation and we will be damned if a handful of haters are going to come on here and ruin our fun.
The other 99.87% of the Nation - we love you long time. Who wants a slightly used Aubrey O'Day playboy? Huh? HUH?
February 24 2009, 12:10PM
I would like to say that I enjoy the work that all the writers on this site do. You all make excellent contributions and I know we enjoy it.
My only problem is with the arrogance that Jason responds to some of the comments. I believe it was touched upon in a comment above. For some reason, you feel it nessecary to always throw in some condecending one liner, some sort of insult, or a comment stating that we "obviously dont know what were talking about" Your a dick. You act like a pretentious dick and thats why some people treat you like a dick.
David: I guess it's just not my way to sit back and be fine with things that I think should be different.
Like Ty, I believe there have been lots of questions that could have been asked and that leads me to wonder why they haven't. And if letting things slide is the price of access, I don't believe it's worth it.
or at least that's my opinion.
In any case, I don't think Robin's the worst reporter in the world but I honestly believe that Lowe's done enough curious things that it's only sensible to wonder why it was never alluded to in the press.
February 24 2009, 01:30PM
@ Tyler: Four-and-half screens for your latest submission as one of the self-appointed media cops on this site? WTF is that? Really, what is that?
You visit here time and after time -- the good cop in tandem with the rubber hose toting Dennis -- and often suggest that, "It's no big deal, I'm just pointing this out . . . " Sounds reasonable, but how many hours in the day do you spend reading and then responding to items on other blogs? Or do we get all your media ethics attention because we're so damn bad at what we do? So you hammer away and hammer away. Day after day. Same message. Same issues. Same two voices. It's nothing personal, of course. It's about ethics and journalism. It's just debate. It's never to be dicks and piss people off. Never.

I've been reading the blogs for quite some time now and I pretty much check all of the frequently updated ones on a daily basis. One thing that has always annoyed the hell out of me is how much hating there is going on. There is a little clique over at the geek squad that has that holier than thou, pretentious attitude. Are we not all cheering for the same team? So I totally get that everybody is going to have differing opinions on the value of say… a Shawn Horcoff or the abilities of a Craig MacTavish, but what's with all the personal attacks. Tyler and Dennis come here or stay on their own sites and constantly bash the likes of Gregor and Brownlee and I can't see why. Those guys (Tyler and Dennis) are obviously smart and have well thought out ideas when it comes to the operations of the team but are way too relentless on the personal attacks because they feel that MSM guys don't have the balls to constantly be in Lowe or MacTavish's faces telling them how much they suck or something. It's utter bullsh*t. Borwnlee and Gregor give us an insight to the team that you can't get anywhere else and the hardcore fan in me is thankful every single day that they do. Ok, so oilernation isn't all about corsi numbers or how many goals Penner scores if he takes a sh*t before as opposed to after a game. (Willis is here and his articles blow everything else on the 'sphere out of the water) And yes The contributions of JSBM and Wanye may be on the immature side… But that's what this sites appeal is. I love it. If it doesn't make you happy then you can read MC79 if you want to read about scoring chances, or Lowetide if you want to read about batting percentages or well written stories that tie into the current state of the Oilers over a Black dog. They all have their appeal. They don't offer everything I want in a site and quite frankly are frequently commented on by some arrogant know it alls, but we don't need to be over there telling them how much they suck. It's such a piss off. I just don't get it. Lovingly, Travis FMNF
That's one bad ass post.
February 24 2009, 05:23PM
Even though Brownlee and Gregor enjoy telling me I'm crazy, this site wouldn't be the same without them.
Why are you so angry that Tyler gave a thorough response? You don't even deal with one thing he actually said about the situation. Do you think his position is unreasonable? In this particular case, I think Tyler is just trying to point out that the whole plagiarism discussion wasn't a case of "the haters" against "the good guys" which is what WG seemed to indicate. That seems fair and on topic.

It is often said that living in Australia, we are among some of the luckiest people in the world. This country offers growth, prosperity, stability, and untouched terrain that stretches for kilometres and kilometres, just to name a few benefits of living here. So, why, when the chance arises, do we choose to leave the country to holiday in another country that offers not nearly as much as this country has to offer?
Queensland, in particular, is home to some of Australia's most prestigious destinations such as; the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast, Great Barrier Reef, Whitsundays, and of course Moreton Island. Moreton Island is 38 kilometres long and 9 kilometres wide, consisting entirely of sand, making it the third largest sand island in the world. The island is home to the highest coast sand dune in the world, Mount Tempest, at a height of 285 metres, providing a 360 degree view of Moreton Bay and beyond. It is also 98% national park, making it one of the least polluted and disturbed coastal environments in Queensland. This information alone should be enough to persuade anyone to want to explore the island, not to mention the plethora of wild life on the island and in the bay.
But, enough about the spectacular environmental aspects of the island, if you're not one for bush bashing, and visiting world famous land marks, then the island also has a number of exhilarating activities offered through the resort on the island, Tangalooma Island Resort. Tangalooma has over 80 tours and activities on offer, such as sand tobogganing, parasailing, whale watching, snorkelling, fishing and so, so much more.
When discussing all of the activities and tours Tangalooma offer, you can't go past their dolphin feeding program. The dolphin feeding program is conducted nightly, from around 7pm. A pod of resident dolphins swim into the bay to be hand fed by visitors and tourists on the island.
The dolphin feeding activity is included in a selection of accommodation and day cruise packages. The program is completely backed and supported by the Queensland government. So, be sure to include the dolphin feeding experience in your next Tangalooma package.
So, when you are planning your next family holiday, think closer to home, and forget about Thailand, Bali and the like, and come and visit the iconic, historic, and prestigious Moreton Island.

A private memorial service was held Wednesday for the Kansas City Chiefs Linebacker who shot and killed his girlfriend and later committed suicide.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — This was the day the Kansas City Chiefs tried to begin to return to normal.
The Chiefs held a 90-minute practice Wednesday at their training facility, their first since linebacker Jovan Belcher committed suicide in the parking lot there Saturday after he had fatally shot his longtime girlfriend, Kasandra Perkins, in their home, leaving their infant daughter an orphan.
Yet as much as head coach Romeo Crennel says he tried to make things feel normal for himself and his team, the day was hardly routine.
After practice, players changed into suits and boarded four charter buses to attend en masse a memorial service for the 25-year-old Belcher. There, inside the Landmark International Deliverance of Worship Center, they said goodbye to Belcher, whom players tried to remember for the teammate he was, not the crime he committed on the final day of his life.
"We are definitely thankful for the opportunity we have to see him one last time before he goes back home and everything," cornerback Travis Daniels said. "A lot of the guys are still hurting."
911 CALLS: Mother seeks help after shooting
About 90 minutes after the Chiefs and other mourners arrived for the service, a silver-colored casket carrying the linebacker was loaded into the back of a black hearse. Family members and friends were escorted out a back door and into a black limousine.
Cheryl Shepherd, Belcher's mother, told The Associated Press on Wednesday that she's had trouble eating and sleeping as she made funeral arrangements for her son. She has been caring for her granddaughter, Zoey, who she said is "fine."
"I'm fine. I have to go. Thank you," Shepherd said when reached by USA TODAY Sports.
The Chiefs also will be represented at a memorial service for Belcher's girlfriend, 22-year-old Kasandra Perkins, though details of that service have not been released, a person told USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the matter.
"I hope it will bring peace to a lot of people, not just people on this team," quarterback Brady Quinn said before leaving the Chiefs' training facility.
The memorial service was just one part of the Chiefs' healing process.
Crennel, linebackers coach Gary Gibbs and general manager Scott Pioli, who all witnessed Belcher's suicide, are among a small group of Chiefs personnel who will be required to go through mandatory counseling provided by the NFL. The league is also recommending that the team's linebackers receive counseling.
The first stage of counseling runs through Monday, with follow-up sessions scheduled over the next three months, says Troy Vincent, the NFL's vice president of player engagement.
"Witnessing that kind of event is horrific. It's not about closing the door, not about being the gladiator, the tough, immortal football player that we've always developed into being" Vincent told USA TODAY Sports.
"This is serious. This is a mental, visual image that we need to talk through, and this is OK."
Still, Crennel says the Chiefs cannot expect any sympathy the they arrive in Cleveland on Sunday to play the Browns, the team for whom Crennel was once the head coach and Quinn was once the quarterback.
"Once you step across the white line, nobody cares about what your problems are," Crennel said Wednesday morning. "You have to be ready to play football. So on Sunday, we're going to step across the white line, and we better be ready to play."

Comfy, versatile high heels
"Being practical, I ordered these in taupe to get my "mileage" out of them, which I definitely have done. The taupe color is just as it appears on the website & they run true to size. These shoes go with so many outfits (dressy & casual) and, although being suede, can be paired with spring & summer clothing because of the light color. I've done some serious walking in them & found them to be very comfortable. The sole is not flexible by any means, so they are a bit "clunky" when walking on hard surfaces, but are stable, nicely cushioned inside, with a soft suede upper. I'm sold on the Seychelles brand as they are always high quality, stylish, and comfortable. DSW helps to make this brand a little more affordable too!"

sturdy shoe
"i wore this shoe for one day around my office. pretty comfy, and as my legs are heavy, they are pretty sturdy. the heels don't slip if you mistakenly walk on one side or the other (it doesn't slide out from under you). easy to walk in. pretty shoe. i got the rose color and would order the beigh too."

My local store sells salba for $33.00 for 380 g. Ouch! I use it everyday with yogurt and soup. A great way to increase the quality of your diet with 100% whole grain.
I LOVE Salba

This is wonderful stuff however Salba or better known as Chia seeds is WAY over priced it seems someone had a great marketing plan for the very reasonably priced Chia seeds that you can buy much cheaper. I guess calling it Salba and putting it in a fancy container costs alot.
Salba. It's good stuff.

Not being much of a seafood lover Salba makes it easy for me to get my Omega 3's along with a host of other good stuff. Within a week of taking the product I could feel a boost in my energy levels. I seem to be sleeping better and I must say I can't remember the last time I was this regular. Salba will definitley be part of my diet from now on. Thank you.

Product Review for Salba
Отзыв оставлен Reviewer2460641 фев 22, 2008
I bought the Salba seed. It is what you say it is. A great source of protein and natural energy. The seeds are a little awkward to use so I may try the ground up source my next order. I definitely am sold on the product. It also seems to have helped my arthritis and type 2 Diabetes. I will continue ordering Salba in the future.
Отзыв оставлен Reviewer2195360 фев 26, 2008
I have received the product within 5 working days after I placed my order. I am very satisfied with the speedy delivery service. I tried Salba in ground form mixed with skimmed milk and found great improvement to my gastric stomach after one week. I'll recommend my friends to order Salba from iHerb.com. Francis from Hong Kong

Much of the dialogue developed the principal subthemes of the conference: the sources of violence; the role of the guerrillas, paramilitaries, and narcotraffickers; the institutional capabilities and responses of the Colombian government and armed forces; and the role of the United States.

Love them...
"I was trying to break out of my sneakers habit with cute flats that weren't too conservative. I love these! They didn't take long to break in (a few days without much pain) and I can wear them all day comfortably. I have narrow feet though, so they're slightly wide on me but I don't mind. Might have to buy a second pair!"

Dedicated Project Management
Each case hosted with our cloud-based review platform is assigned its own case manager from our team of litigation support professionals. This person helps with case planning, set-up, and maintenance throughout the life of the matter.
◦Project management and case supervision is included in your hosting costs and there is no nickel and dime charge each time you call your case manager.
◦Dedicated case managers come from our experienced team of former attorneys, litigation support managers, and paralegals. Because they stay with your case throughout its lifetime and act as your one point of contact, they become like another member of your litigation team. You never have to deal with someone who doesn't know your case.
◦Your PM will conduct free training for your team and consult on case set-up, work-flow options, best practices and optimization of your experience with the review platform.
Data Normalization
Because data comes to you in many forms and from multiple sources, your AccessData litigation support team is expert at making it usable for you.

Skip to comments.Crash the Tea Party Crashers
Posted on 04/09/2010 4:47:12 PM PDT by pb929
It seems some enterprising young liberal has taken it upon himself to single handedly vanquish the evil tea party movement. Hes created a new website called crashtheteaparty.org. The purpose of this group as stated on their homepage is To dismantle and demolish the Tea Party by any non-violent means necessary. Apparently they intend to do this by infiltrating the tea party and attacking from within.
It gets better. Again from their homepage, the group describes themselves thus.
A nationwide network of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents who are all sick and tired of that loose affiliation of racists, homophobes, and morons; who constitute the fake grass-roots movement which calls itself The Tea Party.
Well it appears someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. The liberals are clearly frustrated at the size, influence and success of the tea party movement...
(Excerpt) Read more at smokeandchange.blogspot.com ...
I think their little SQL server "crashed". hehehe
It's been crashing all afternoon. Honestly I've have quite a bit of fun posting over there.
It really just shows the mentality of the average liberal that they would hatch a scheme like this and them broadcast it to the world.
How did these fools ever get into power anyway?
Right. Their little system couldn't handle it. Am getting a general error. Awwww.
I guess they are not taking anymore posts in their forum. Too bad, I was looking for some fun. I guess I'll see them in Cincy Thursday night.
Show up at the event looking like a total derelict holding a sign saying "Tea Party Crasher"
We really can have a lot of fun with this.

Actually, a rather humorous story. Be aware that they will be present at the Tax Day Tea Parties folks. Expect them to pull every Alinksyesque trick and tactic to discredit or provoke us....
Interesting, while not 100% sure its the same male, good 'ole Jason thinks "he's a black lesbian trapped in a white man's body."
Jason won't answer his phone!
I'd go with post #10. It's been change three times already, but this maybe it.
"Trappe" Ln. How fitting!
Even more interesting, as a coincidence, Portland Jason went to school in philly.
Bravo, Maceman!
FReepers, please be polite when you inform "Ben Franklin" that we now know where he lives, presumably in his sixty-five year old mother's basement.
A right-wing hacker needs to do a lot of DOS on this website.
Remember, in the Liberal world, simply the intention is enough to declare a win; it doesn't have to actually succeed. So in that liberal's mind he's already won because he wanted to do "something good" and he took some sort of action. The actual results are irrelevant!
Well it sure is fun antagonizing the libs over on that site. I encourage everyone to give it a try.
For example, this says it will take you to his linkedin page...

Heidi Klum New Balance 420
"Review on size 7Blue (aquamarine)/blackImmediately knocked off one star since the size is inconsistent with standard shoe size I order (6). Re-ordered up one size and now I am a happy camper. The color is gorgeous! I love anything sea green/aquamarine. Love the retro look and straight sole.FYI - The fabric where the laces go through is treated with a metallic silvery finish. I thought it was going to be a suede aquamarine only.They take a couple of wears to break in, but are super comfortable to wear and dress up a casual jeans and tee outfit any day. I tend to wear these without socks and they keep my feet super warm as the weather is still transitioning to Spring. If worn with socks they would definitely feel snug, so I recommend ordering half to one size bigger."

Instant Classic & New Favorite Boot
"Cannot express how much I adore these boots! Just got them today & had to wear them immediately. I wore them with skinny jeans & a military styled blazer - got quite a few compliments. At dinner, my father said my outfit was sharp and he made special mention of my shoes! (My dad has a timeless, European-influenced style & he rarely ever compliments my outfits)My feet are a little on the wide side & they were a tiny bit snug so I was concerned that the patent pleather would be stiff and breaking them in might be a little painful but I walked almost half a mile and nary a blister or tender spot on either of my feet anywhere! They run true to size and for ladies with average width/length feet they should be perfect & problem-free.If these came in any other colors/materials, I would buy a pair in every other option! And actually thinking about buying another pair for a back up if/when these get beyond repair."

Middle East & North Africa Studies
- Added August 01, 2001
- Type: Monograph
- Jihadi Groups, Nuclear Pakistan, and the New Great Game. Authored by Dr. M. Ehsan Ahrari.
- The author assesses Jihadi groups from the framework of a new "Great Game" for influence in Central Asia involving an array of states. He argues that, if this competition leads to increased violence, outside states including the United States could be drawn in. On the other hand, if the region stabilizes, it could provide solid economic and political partners for the United States. A well-designed American strategy, Ahrari contends, might help avoid crises or catastrophe.

Skip to comments.Ted Cruz: Lets not rush to judgment on NSA surveillance
Posted on 06/17/2013 12:57:42 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
Via the Examiner, a short but noteworthy clip insofar as it exposes a potential fault line between Cruz and Rand Paul. McCain lumps them together as "wacko birds" but I'm not so sure that's true of Cruz on national-security issues. His alliance with Paul interests me because it strikes me as a personification of the uneasy libertarian/tea-party alliance. The groups overlap heavily on spending issues, and both are deeply suspicious of Obama's expansion of government. The master stroke of Paul's drone filibuster was that he found a sweet spot for both, making the philosophical case for due process while humiliating O for having turned into such a hypocrite about it. Even so, no matter how much Paul sometimes likes to pretend that the tea party is synonymous with libertarianism (for his own strategic reasons), various polls show that it just isn't so. Tea partiers are more socially conservative than doctrinaire libertarians, they're more likely to support entitlements, and they're more traditionally Republican on defense/security issues. That's not to say that they're not becoming more libertarian — polls lately show Republicans are more skeptical about NSA surveillance than Democrats are, although that's probably for partisan reasons — but they're not all Ron Paul fans either. That's why Rand is usually quick to claim the tea-party label. The more he gets TPers thinking of themselves as allied with him, then theoretically the more receptive they'll be to his libertarian ideals.
McCain doesn't seem to understand the difference between them but comparing Paul's reaction to the NSA revelations to Cruz's is instructive. Paul's first instinct was to organize a class-action lawsuit and accuse the NSA of an "extraordinary invasion of [Americans'] privacy." Cruz, by contrast, says the revelations are "cause for concern" but urges Fox viewers to reserve judgment until we know more about the programs. And from the looks of it here, his chief objection seems to be that this particular administration can't be trusted with NSA's surveillance tools in light of the IRS scandal, not necessarily that any administration can't be trusted with it. He may very well end up joining Paul's lawsuit, but I suspect that'll be aimed at impressing libertarians whose votes he'll need if he ends up running for president someday just as Rand often tempers his own libertarianism in order to impress more mainstream tea-party conservatives. Cruz's ally, Sarah Palin (who returned to Fox this morning, although she doesn't speak in this clip) seems to be taking a position similar to his lately. From her speech at the Faith and Freedom Conference on Saturday:
The scandals infecting this city, they are a symptom of a bigger disease, and it doesnt matter if its a Republican or a Democrat sitting atop a bloated boot on your neck, out of control government, everybody gets infected, no party is immune, Palin said. Thats why, I tell you, Im listening to those independents, those libertarians, who are saying, it is both sides of the aisle, the leadership, the good ol boys in the party on both sides of the aisle, they perpetuate the problem.…
Palin also took on the pandering, rewarding the rule breakers, still-no-border security, special interest written amnesty bill, especially ribbing Jeb Bush for his fertility comment yesterday. I think its kind of touchy territory to want to debate this over one races fertility over another, and I say that as someone whos kinda fertile herself.
Obama didnt evade Palins lashing, either. Where is our commander in chief? Palin asked. Were talking now more new interventions? I say, until we know what were doing, until we have a commander in chief who knows what hes doingwell, chief, in these radical Islamic countries, arent even respecting basic human rights, when both sides are slaughtering each other as they scream over an arbitrary red line Allah ak-barI say, let Allah sort it out.
I suspect Cruz would agree with every word, and that her former running mate would disagree with most or all of it. (Palin advocated "Cruz control" for Washington in the speech, in fact.) She doesn't want any more interventions under a strategist as poor as Obama — but she's not against intervention in principle. She wants America to listen more to the libertarians, but when it comes to the lousy Gang of Eight bill, she rightly opposes it for its weak border security — even though libertarians are famously comfortable with weak borders. None of this is contradictory; most tea partiers would, I take it, agree that America needs more libertarianism while maybe not quite so much as Ron Paul supporters would prefer. The point is, though, there are real differences between Cruz and Rand Paul and I think we're getting a hint of one in the clip. And the longer the national debate stays stuck on liberty-versus-security issues, the more obvious I think those differences will be.
Oh, we be rushin'. The Under-30's just know the Gov has nabbed their sexting photos and they're P*SSED!!
Church Committee 2.0, here we come!
Both Cruz and Howard Johnson are right.
According to the 'Mother Church', there are four "cardinal virtues."
#1. Prudence.
You couldn't be more wrong.
The feds absolutely trawl everyone's communications .
Part of how they do it is to go after a target and request Whole Pipe access to a service providers network.
They have no client to protect and they do not minimize the information collected and stored.
IOW, They do not discard information that is not relevant to the request.
I gave a huge dissertation on the great Laz's thread Saturday.
I don't deny he has a valid point. But the mere fact that one administration can't be trusted with the power means that we can't trust any of them with the power. Because we'll find out too late when that authority has been misused. So unless Cruz has a scheme on telling in advance when the abuse is going to happen, then for the safety of all our privacy this program has to stop. Now.
I think I saw it, but I might be mistaken; got a link to it?
If you want to know what laws make PRISM and other programs possible, as well the technology for how the gubmint swallows up everyone's information go here
Cruz is wrong here...as the govt does not need to snoop on my elderly parents to find Islamic Terrorists
Although Cruz can be trusted to respect American citizens privacy......99.8% of his fellow pols cannot be trusted....which is why NSA is bad news
A lot of people on TV and many in the government are saying the feds NSA are not reading the content of our calls and emails so I expect this is those who want more proof. Cruz was the assistant attorney general for Bush. He said last week there were concerns of overreaches. Some, want the NSA to stop gathering Intel but that's not what I am advocating. I am in support to do so under the constitutional authority. We face citizens who are completely in support of doing this. Low info voters etc. It depends on how one looks at this and how they decide to allow the court to rule.
The gov spies on us and not the terrorists and we aren't supposed to have an opinion, Ted?
A Cruz statement from The Blaze last week:
If it is the case that the federal government is seizing millions of personal records about law-abiding citizens, and if it is the case that there are minimal restrictions on accessing or reviewing those records, then I think Mr. Snowden has done a considerable public service by bringing it to light.
What happened?
I read the first paragraph, which was not easy.
then skimmed the rest.
Found just nothing that quoted Cruz.
So. . .
The revelations are cause for concern but urges Fox viewers to reserve judgment until we know more about the programs.
IOW, Ted Cruz -- already holding three aces -- is purposely understating the crushing revelations. Waiting for additional and more incriminating evidence of the trashing of the 4A by Big Brother and 0dinga.guv, then lower the boom on those responsible is clever. This demonstrates Cruz's patience and fairness.
"but urges Fox viewers to reserve judgment until we know more about the programs"
WTF. We know enough:
Exclusive: Inside Account of U.S. Eavesdropping on Americans
I hope Cruz doesn't turn out to be a sell out.
I had a dream.
Off in the distance and approaching rapidly was a bus. Despite the distance I could clearly read a logo on the front of the bus.
The logo reads FREEREPUBLIC.COM
Standing beside the road I see Sarah Palin, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. They are discussing the latest NSA revelations. They are waiting for the bus, clearly with some apprehension. Sarah is heard to say "Who will be next ... So many".
The bus draws closer, bearing down on our favorite three.
In a flash our favorite three becomes our favorite two. Sarah and Rand breath a sigh of relief. As the bus passes we catch our last glimpse of Ted, neatly positioned under the speeding bus
One problem is we let the left dictate "language" hence profiling is bad when in effect it is the best route to pursue any investigation/action. If your perpetrators are one-legged, red haired, white women over 40 why do you need to appear to be non-discriminating, it defies logic. Most illegal immigrants are mexican or some sort of latino, most all terrorists are muslim, see the pattern...
Why do Conservatives insist on eating their own? Why the endless fault finding with fellow Republicans over narrow issues?
You guys think you are fighting over the soul of the Republican Party, but you are really killing its body.
What more do we need to know? Just going by what has already been admitted (and we know it's worse than that) these surveillance techniques are as broad and overreaching as we can possibly imagine.
Am I supposed to feel better if they're archiving every electronic conversation I have, in perpetuity, as long as they promise not to ever misuse that information?
"Trust me, it's all for your own good" is a favorite excuse of the power-hungry Tyrant. The Founders, and rightly so, knew that, on general principle, such power should never routinely be placed in the hands of government! The potential for abuse is simply too great.
That's why they (and the People) tried to make it difficult, if not impossible, for Tyranny to arise even in the future, by adopting the Bill Of Rights, for example, and by crafting a Constitution which severely limited Federal power and responsibility.
Perpetual War Powers were specifically seen as a great threat to Liberty, and rightly so.
The loony left and the loony right cancel each other out. It's a wash.
To headlines: No. Rush to judgment.
Well apparently the war on terror isn't over. Its just that all Americans have been judged as terrorists by the Regime.
In the final analysis, America's profoundly powerful surveillance of the world is in effect, an empire. And do the American people really want to rule an empire, or are they content with just America?
The same question the British asked and answered.
It won't be the American people who rule that empire but a very small ruling class
"The loony left and the loony right cancel each other out"
Loony right huh? Well I guess you must be one of those moderates I keep hearing about.
What is your definition of "looney right"?
Ted is a a Sharp guy. I'm with you on this. There's a lot more to this than meets the eye. Anyway. At this,point what line needs to be crossed to get Everyone's attention has yet to be crossed yet. Frustrating. To many yets?? ;)
Yup. Another tip o' the iceberg. Cruz know enough not to be THE story when he doesn't have to.
Let's let this story bleeeed. When even the blind can't ignore the pool of blood, then its time to squeeze the story even more.
That term, "loony right" also struck me as odd as well.
The poster, bkepley, must be attending a Karl Rove/John McCain "bi-partisan moderate" Workshop with all their "good friends on the other side of the aisle."
Cruz / surveillance bump for later......
I would often agree with you but the increasing surveillance of our personal communications and, indeed, lives is not a narrow issue. It's at the absolute core of our liberty.
I won't freeze Cruz out just yet, but he'd better start showing a little more skepticism about the NSA or I'm solidly in Rand's camp. Rand has his faults, of course, but none of them abridge my liberty.
Lookin to be a Long Hot Summer. We live in interesting times.
Cruz, don't drink the D.C. water!
Well said. Let me rephrase.
"Do the American people really want to pay the price for a very small ruling class to rule an empire?"
I don't know. This statement is something I could easily identify with. The new one is one I would shy away from. No way.
Howard Johnson is right!
Well, if we're going to stay, and I think it's a big mistake......we're going to need a new sheriff. Now, who is it going to be?
Howard Johnson is right. We'll wire the governor.
Why don't we wire the governor to send us a sheriff?
Why should we get our own men killed?
Howard Johnson is right. We'll wire the governor.
Then let us pray for the deliverance of our new sheriff.
Will the congregation please rise?
Bush did a lot of things that I wouldn't trust to Obama. That's the problem with reliance on good leadership. The flakes always have a precedent.
>>Why the endless fault finding with fellow Republicans over narrow issues<<
The Fourth Amendment, border security and amnesty are NOT "narrow issues."
Wait and see? Ted Cruz is coming precariously close to shutting the book on any trust I had left in the government.
More likely, he is waiting to see which way the wind blows.
Could you explain that in small words for those of us who aren't lawyers?
"What happened?"
The Obama Administration showed Ted Cruz what they got on him. That's what.
I wonder what they got on Cruz.
Sarah Palin thinks she's a different race from Latinos? Surprise, they're Caucasians too!
Aside from that, I think Cruz is making an important point. The NSA surveillance was secretive but also almost unavoidable because everything is electronic now. But I don't think even Obama dared (although his successor will) to get individual info out of it. And in any case, he didn't need it, because he had all of the data voluntarily or mandatorily submitted by Americans - the IRS, state voter registration logs, etc. - that enabled him to target individuals.
This was Obama doing meta-data for political purposes. He and his minions were using the NSA for market research. He wanted to see the trends and know where to direct his political attacks. For him it was all about remaining in power.
I don't think Snowden, an Obama voter, will connect him with this, so I hope somebody else does manage to make the connection.
I don't trust ANYONE is DC. Cruz is becoming one of 'them'.
Sure; for reference what I wrote:
the NSA surveillance is a clear, blatant violation of the 4th, 5th, and very-arguably 6th amendments this is, of course, not taking into acount that the system could easily be used to blackmail and is just begging to be abused in Ex Post Facto law. (If the 4th, 5th, and 6th don't protect you, why should the Ex Post Facto law prohibition?)The NSA surveillance is a violation of the 4th Amendment, obviously, because real things are being searched.
