About biographical information
Sum any set of rows by clicking anywhere (not red or blue) on the
first and last rows of your selection. We will then compute the
totals for the player between and including those two seasons.
Default Setting for this feature: Turn On / Turn Off
Summation of season totals only works for the initial case when the table is in year order. On a sorted table the results may get a bit goofy.
HIGHLIGHTING: Adding a range or series of player's career seasons or career game numbers (like '#1972:batting_standard', '#1970-1980-sum:batting_standard', or '#1998,1999,2001,2002,sum:pitching_standard') onto the end of a player page url causes the seasons to the highlighted and summed. After changing address bar, reload the page to see highlighting. This will work even in links e-mailed to others. Note that for tables with multiple pages the first table is the default. If you want to create a sum for a table other than the first one, select the rows and after the summation window appears click on "permanent link" link.

Lupus (LOO-puhss) is a disease in which the body attacks its own healthy tissues and organs. It can damage the joints, skin, kidneys, and other parts of the body. No one knows for sure what causes lupus. Many factors might play a role in getting lupus. We do know that minority women — including Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander women — are at higher risk of lupus. Experts think that genes play a role in how lupus affects certain minority groups.
The signs of lupus differ from person to person. Some people have just a few signs, while others have more. Common symptoms include:
Less common symptoms include:
Having lupus can cause serious health problems. So it's important to have lupus symptoms checked by a doctor. Lupus has no cure. But treatment can ease symptoms and prevent or reduce damage caused by lupus.

BOSTON – The Mass. Department of Revenue says the state saw a February monthly collection of $1.011 billion in revenue, $38 million greater than the monthly benchmark. That amounted to a $79 million increase over February 2011.
Year-to-date tax collections total $12.895 billion, up $315 million, or up 2.5 percent from a year ago. However, that figure is $58 million below the revised fiscal 2012 revenue estimate of $21.010 billion.
According to a news release, February is historically the smallest net tax-collection month of the fiscal year as there are no quarterly estimated or final annual tax payments due. Refunds are also heavy in February.
February collections had previously exceeded $1 billion in 2008, $1.147 billion, and in 2010, $1.004 billion. •

A THESIS Presented to the Department of History and the Clark Honors College of the University of Oregon in partial fulfillment of the requirements for degree of Bachelor of Arts, Spring 2006. This thesis chronicles taarab, a popular genre of music, in Lamu and Matadoni, two communities on the coast of Kenya. My thesis argues that taarab, despite growing as popular and widespread in urban areas, developed as a localized tradition in Lamu and Matadoni by emphasizing local styles and public performances where musicians would play for little, if any money at all. This was different from the music's success in urban centers which often emphasized the marketing of cassettes and compact disks. Renowned taarab musicians from these cities could earn money off of their music by performing for extravagant rates. Taarab contributed to the local character of Lamu and Matadoni through its lyrics which promoted evaluation of gender relationships, social problems within the community, and challenged politicians. The thesis explores how the traditions that made taarab distinct in these communities in the past are changing due to economic problems that challenge musicians' ability to dedicate time to play music recreationally, in addition to the impacts of globalization that have been impacting cultural practices in Lamu and Matadoni. While local taarab in Lamu and Matadoni has had to adjust in order to incorporate these changes, it still remains a popular form of entertainment for the people of these communities. en_US University of Oregon University of Oregon theses, Dept. of History, Honors College, B.A., 2010 Music Taarab (Music) -- Kenya Kenya East Africa Lamu (Kenya) Culture and globalization -- Kenya Matadoni (Kenya) "It Was Just for Fun": Taarab and the Construction of Community Identity in Two Kenyan Towns Thesis

Why New England beats Houston (non-football edition)
This is a completely biased and generally unfair argument in favor of New England's dominance over Houston in ways that transcend the talents of Sunday's AFC playoff opponents, and thus should not be viewed by any Texans fans, anyone hailing from Houston, nor anyone who's even remotely fond of that city. Thanks. Next
Team longevity
OK, so this one is sort of football related. The New England Patriots had plenty of down years (some would argue most seasons before 2001 could be considered "down years"), but at least the team never left town. Houston is on its second NFL team, after the Oilers pulled up stakes and moved to Tennessee (Titans) in 1999. Next
Better historical figure
New England has so many historical figures, but we'll go with Samuel Adams for this argument. Compare this patriot to Houston's Sam Houston. We won't debate each man's historical significance, rather we'll go by stuff named after them. An Army post is named for Sam Houston, which is cool. Also a racetrack — not as cool. But after consulting with Boston.com's 99 Bottles blogger and beer expert Gary Dzen, there is no such thing as Sam Houston Beer, which obviously places the checkmark on the Samuel Adams side. Next
Better QB's wife
Matt Schaub's wife, Laurie, a former Atlanta Falcons cheerleader, was recently voted "Football's hottest wife" on the fan site Fantasy Football Sideline. Tom Brady's wife, Gisele Bundchen, (maybe you've heard of her?) came in third.
Without getting all Brent Musburgerey on you, we'll just say that Mrs. Schaub is quite lovely, but we're going to go with the international supermodel on this one. Winner: New England. Next
NBA teams: Head-to-head
Granted the Rockets would go on to have success in future seasons, but back in the early-to-mid '80s, Houston's NBA team made it to the Finals twice, in '81 and '86. Each time they were defeated for the NBA title by Larry Bird and the Boston Celtics.
In a memorable moment during the 1981 City Hall Plaza celebration, Bird made an R-rated comment about Houston's Moses Malone, which was carried over live television. Next
Locally based movies
So many good movies have been set in New England, we'd list them all here, but there are space limitations with our content management system.
It's much easier when listing Houston-based movies. There's "Urban Cowboy," "The Getaway," and — well, not much else. Next
Locally based TV shows
"Cheers," "St. Elsewhere," "Spenser: For Hire," "The Practice," "Boston Legal" — so many good ones set in New England.
As for Houston? Um — "Reba." Next
From the popular music world, Houston has ZZ Top, Beyonce, Kenny Rogers, and Yolanda Adams. That's a nice little list, but it simply doesn't stand up to anybody's local roster, which without even digging too deeply produces groups like Aerosmith, The J. Geils Band, The Cars, Boston, and James Taylor, not to mention scores more. Next
The 2012 Red Sox were horrible. But consider this: The 2012 Houston Astros finished with a record that was 14 games WORSE than Boston's. They even got booted out of the National League this year (which isn't easy to do). The Astros also gave us the most hideous uniform in Major League Baseball history, the rainbow-star 1970s era beauties shown here on the great Nolan Ryan. Next

Q:What is the maximum capacity per 38" shelf?Asked on 9/2/2013 by Angelique from Seattle, WA
1 answer
A:The Wonder Wall Shelf 2 Pack has no mounting hardware, so there is no weight bearing capacity measurement provided by the vendor. But someone in our office has mounted this shelf and says it can hold a massive amount of weight if mounted onto something sturdy.Answered on 9/6/2013 by Karen G. from Smart Furniture
Q:What does the installation kit look like (hardware) What is the Capacity?Asked on 3/27/2011 by G from NJ
1 answer
A:No hardware is provided with this beauty. It is powder coated steel and attaches to the wall in 2 places. You will want to visit the hardware store (where hopefully everyone knows your name) and purchase screws appropriate for your wall. Also, due to the lack of mounting hardware, there is no weight bearing capacity. But I have mounted this shelf and can tell you it can hold a massive amount of weight if mounted into something sturdy.Answered on 3/28/2011 by Melanie from Smart Furniture
Q:Does Wonder Wall come with mounting hardware?Asked on 10/12/2010 by Anonymous
1 answer
A:Mounting hardware is sold separately. The Wonder Wall shelf attaches to the wall with two screws that are easily accessible from the front by removing the back panel. You will need to purchase hardware appropriate for your wall. Two screws and accompanying washers and possibly drywall anchors or masonry screws will work in most instances.Answered on 10/12/2010 by Gil from Smart Furniture

Strombabble: The Luongo Rule
Thomas Drance
January 07 2013 10:26PM
When the NHL leaked a CBA proposal on their website in October, their offer to the NHLPA included a clause designed to punish teams who had taken advantage of loops-holes in the previous CBA, and signed players to life-time deals (like Luongo's) with back-diving contracts that served to pay these players a salary well above their cap-hit, and in doing so circumvent the salary cap.
This punitive clause was initially dubbed the "Kovy Klause" because Twitter has ample appreciation for alliteration, and it stipulated that: should a player with a back-diving contract retire early, that player's cap-hit would revert back to the team that signed that player originally, even if that player had long since been traded. We thought that the provision - if adopted in the final CBA - could conceivably boost Luongo's trade-value by mitigating the long-term risk of acquiring Luongo's contract to any potential Luongo-trade partners. We again mentioned this possible clause as a bit of uncertainty when looking at trade possibilities on Monday morning.
On Monday evening however we learned from Pierre LeBrun and Elliotte Freidman, that the Canucks will catch a tough break on this one.
The clause in the proposed NHL CBA has been revamped, and is now renamed "the Luongo rule" in LeBrun's ESPN take. Rather than simply punishing the team that signed the original salary cap circumventing deal should that player retire before the expiry of their contract, the clause will now have a punitory impact on the salary cap of both the team that originally signed the deal (the Canucks, in Luongo's case) and whichever team acquires that contract through trade should the player retire.
The revamped clause is significantly less punitive for the Canucks over the long-term than the one proposed in October would have been. However, by punishing the team that acquires the longterm contract as well as the team that originally signed the player, this clause will presumably have a somewhat deleterious impact on Luongo's trade value.
Read on past the jump for more.
Here's LeBrun's math on Luongo's contract in particular:
To wit: let's say the Canucks trade Luongo soon. Luongo has played two years of his 12-year contract, the Canucks paying him $16.716 million in salary but only absorbing a $5.33 million cap hit each year. That's a cap savings of $6.056 million over two years so far for Vancouver. Under this new rule, should the Canucks trade him now and he retires with three years left on his contract, Vancouver would be charged that $6.056 million in cap savings over the final three years left on his deal from 2019 to 2022. However, let's say for argument's sake Luongo gets traded to Toronto, the Maple Leafs also would be subject to cap penalties if Luongo retires before the end of his deal.
To wit, part 2: If Luongo were to play the next seven years of his deal in Toronto before retiring, the Leafs would be paying him $43.666 million in salary but only counting $37.31 million against the cap over those seven years, a cap savings of $6.356 million. So if Luongo retires with three years left on his deal (because his salary falls to $1.618 million in the 10th year and then $1 million in the last two years of the deal), the Leafs would get charged that $6.356 million on their cap spread evenly over the remaining three years of his deal.
That LeBrun picked three years before Luongo's contract expires as his "retirement example" is spot on. Per CapGeek Luongo's contract will pay him 6,714,000 in each of the next five seasons following the shortened 2013 season. After that, Luongo's salary drops to a shade under 3.5 million for the 2018-19 season before hovering just above 1.5 million for 2019-20, and dropping to one million flat for two seasons from 2020-2022. In those final three seasons which, Luongo will have diminished incentive to participate in; Vancouver's star goaltender will be 41, 42 and 43 years of age...
Overall this clause is good news for the 2019 Canucks, and bad news for the 2013 Canucks. Let's start with the good news.
First of all, this new formulation of "the Luongo rule" will save the 2019-2022 Canucks ~3.33 million against the cap in each of Luongo's final three seasons (should he retire early) when judged against the previous iteration of the clause in the NHL's leaked October proposal. Secondly, the salary cap will continue to increase under the life of the new NHL CBA. By 2019, James Mirtle conservatively estimates that the NHL salary cap would be at 78.6 million dollars. In that sort of cap climate, you can obviously plan around a dead-space cap-hit representing 2.5% of the salary cap.
The bad news is that "the Luongo rule" does less to mitigate the long-term risk for any buyer interested in acquiring Luongo's valuable services and the hefty contract those services are attached to. That said, the "cap benefit" hit to Toronto's salary cap were Luongo to retire following the 2019 campaign would be manageable. Not to mention that it seems like splitting airs to worry about a relatively small albeit punitive "cap-benefit" hit in six years time, when that "risk" is completely dwarfed by the risk represented by the acquisition of a soon-to-be 34 year old goaltender who will earn nearly seven million in salary per season until he turns 39.
One more thing I'll briefly mention about "the Luongo rule" is that this clause shouldn't, and probably won't, change Gillis' calculations regarding a timeline for a Luongo trade. Assuming that Luongo will retire in 2019, even if the Canucks were to hold onto Luongo for the entirety of the 2013 season (thereby accruing an extra $1,382,667 in "cap-benefit" off of his contract) before dealing him, the annual hit the Canucks would deal with from 2019-2022 would still be a managable $2.479 million in each of those three seasons.
Of course rules are meant to be broken, and the Canucks are no strangers to punching craters in the various sections and clauses of the NHL's collective bargaining agreements. Elliotte Friedman noted a couple of circumstances which could cushion the potential blow of "the Luongo rule" in his take on the "cap benefit hit" on Monday night:
First of all, with the opt-out clauses attached to the length of the new CBA, there's no guarantee the rules will be the same by the time the penalties are scheduled to take effect.
Second, there may just be a loophole. From what I understand, Long-Term Injury Reserve still exists. (For example, it allows Chris Pronger to come off the Philadelphia cap while he recovers from concussions).
God forbid Luongo (or anyone else) goes through that. But he will be 40 in the summer of 2019. Who knows what happens to a goalie's body by then? Maybe he's had enough and is battling some nagging groin or hip or knee problem. He goes on LTIR, still gets paid and neither Toronto nor Vancouver gets any kind of penalty.
Quality reporting on this CBA provision from two of the best in the business in Pierre Lebrun and Elliotte Friedman. Go read both takes in full here (ESPN) and here (CBC).
Update: I misunderstood this in my initial reading of LeBrun and Freidman, but the "cap-benefit" hit will be charged to the club during the gap between which Luongo retires, and when his contract expires. So, if Luongo is traded this season and retires in 2019, the 6.056 million would be charged to the Canucks over three seasons (no big deal). If Luongo retired in 2021, however, the Canucks would be stuck with that 6.056 million cap-hit for that season.
I have to say, I think that's a pretty stiff penalty for signing a contract that was within the rules of the 2005-2012 CBA...
Update II: Having slept on it, and observed some of the conversations going on about the "adorable" Luongo rule on Twitter - I think we need to qualify this post somewhat. As James Mirtle points out, the way the rule appears to work at the moment based on the details that have leaked so far, just doesn't make a lot of sense:
I'm going to wait for more details before writing on the cap benefit recapture rule. What's currently out there doesn't make sense.— James Mirtle (@mirtle) January 8, 2013
Seems to me that something is a miss, and that Mirtle's caution on this subject is well-founded enough to be included in this post for now. After all, sometimes "discretion is the better part of valour."

I absolutely love the fact this CBA is yet ratified, and people are already finding ways around it.
So, couldn't the team that receives such a player/contract retrade at the end of his time with that club to another team struggling to meet the cap floor? Zombie players!
This seems like a ridiculous concept. Are you sure the penalty will be enforced on contracts signed before the new CBA? I don't even understand how this would work, if the Canucks were at the CAP already and out of nowhere Luongo decides to retire, the Canucks suddenly have to shed CAP space? It would make sense maybe to have a luxury tax and charge the CAP savings to the team, but to go against the CAP makes no sense.
January 08 2013, 11:05AM
This clause makes Bettman and his team look really bad.
He was not bright enough to see this loophole in 2004, so instead of kicking himself in the ass, he gets after the teams that make them look like fools.
What does it say about these governors meetings when the powerful Lamoriello is raked over the coals for exposing mindless and avoidable loopholes.
I'll also add any GM looking to trade for Luongo probably won't be around in 7 years to worry about these cap issues if he doesn't improve his goaltending now. So Gillis has that going for him...
"Update: I misunderstood this in my initial reading of LeBrun and Freidman, but the "cap-benefit" hit will be charged to the club during the gap between which Luongo retires, and when his contract expires. So, if Luongo is traded this season and retires in 2019, the 6.056 million would be charged to the Canucks over three seasons (no big deal). If Luongo retired in 2021, however, the Canucks would be stuck with that 6.056 million cap-hit for that season."
That can't be right... it would be a perverse incentive *to* retire early rather than earnestly play out the contract that was signed.
It's ridiculous that contracts that were legal are not punishing teams. Previous contracts should be grandfathered in so that teams. Other wise teams broke a rule years before it existed and are being punished for it.

|Meeting Description:
|Service encounters, understood as contextual situations in which the 'server' has a professional role and the 'served' expects to get something from that specific service, have been widely studied from a pragmatic and interpersonal point of view in the last decades. One of the reasons lies on the fact that the communicative exchange between customer and service provider is essential for the success of the service encounter itself. In this context, the choice of the appropriate utterances, the interpretation and negotiation of the message and the interactants' expectations are influenced by countless variables.
To further explore verbal interaction in service encounters, this first symposium aims at gathering specialists in communication in service encounters from a variety of perspectives and thus create a forum of ideas and recent developments that may help not only advance in this particular context but also contribute to improve communication in professional settings and unify current studies.
For this edition, we will be honoured with the presence of Dr. María Elena Placencia (Birkbeck College, London) and Dr. Pilar Garcés-Conejos Blitvich (University of North Carolina at Charlotte) as keynote speakers.

Eames Round Table by Herman Miller
Universal Base
designed by Charles and Ray Eames
At A Glance: The Eames Round Table is a staple of modern design. It's simple and elegant, with no frills to the design. But even a simple round table is made more interesting when Charles and Ray Eames get involved. The pedestal "leg" of the table and the tapering fingers of the metal base are subtle and fine, and the name alone is worth a lot of cachet.
What's To Like: This is a solid and dependable round table. Good for apartments or smaller homes, and good for restaurants and office break areas.
What's Not to Like: You can't fit too many people around this table, so if you're looking to serve 10, you might want to look elsewhere.
The Bottom Line: Pretty and functional in any setting - except a setting for more than 6 people.
For 40 years, the tables designed by Charles and Ray Eames have brought refinement to places where people get together. Eames tables remain a popular choice for those who appreciate durability and performance, as well as simple beauty.
The Herman Miller Eames Rectangular Table is also known by the following manufacturer Item Numbers: ET123L, ET123C, ET123W, ET124L, ET124C, ET124W, ET102L, ET102C, ET102W, ET302L, ET302C, ET302W.
Materials & Measurements
Table Top: laminate or veneer tops.

Pretty Print but uncomfortable
"The print on these shoes is gorgeous, but the shoes are very uncomfortable. I was disappointed that they are actually a very stiff paper type material. I returned them for fear they wouldn't hold up to a rainy spring in the Seattle area. If they come out in leather I'm all over them."

I Love these Leopard Pumps!
"These leopard pumps are so sexy and stylish! I have tried them on with jeans and dresses and they look great both dressed up or down. The metallic pewter print has a slight iridescent color to it which makes the shoes even prettier. The very high heel is very comfortable and very easy to walk in....you have to try them on and you will agree. I am so happy that I got the last pair of shoes in my size before they sold out. Highly recommend!"

The Barack Obama of the NHL
Amber McCormick
November 10 2008 07:30AM
You don't know me but I know people. Even better, I know people who know people. Which is why you may not have heard, in your world of mediocrity, that Barack Obama became the first African-American President of the United States. I know, you're in shock. I'll give you a minute to process this recently unknown information... I'll wait. Please don't misinterpret my sarcastic tone. I'm am thrilled of Barack's victory. I have all the faith in the world that this is the beginning of something truly extraordinary. I am, however, a smart enough woman to leave the political commentary to the professionals. The women of The View.
Tuesday night's media frenzy got me thinking. Why is there no documentation of a world wide celebration when Willie O'Ree became the NHL's first black player? Sure he has a Wikipedia page, but who doesn't these days? I figure if there is no statute of limitations for murder why should there be for something fun, like a celebration of hockey?!
It was a cold day, January 18, 1958 when New Brunswick native Willie O'Ree took the ice for his first of two games with the Boston Bruins. Despite being legally blind in one eye and facing relentless scrutiny and racism, O'Ree "just wanted to be a hockey player."
In 1961 O'Ree returned to the NHL for 43 games in which he scored four goals and ten assists. After that, Willie left the NHL never to return. He played out his hockey career in the Western Hockey League.
After O'Ree there wouldn't be another black NHL player for over a decade when, in 1974, Mike Marson (a fellow Canadian) wore the jersey for the Washington Capitals.
History is made every day, by everyday people. I think in this time of change and new beginnings it's important to remember the trailblazers of the past whilst celebrating the heroes of today.
—Amber McCormick is the higher-pitched voice of The Nation. She is still in shock that she wrote an entire article without mentioning Penner's dreamy eyes or Souray's flowing locks. Oops.
This is interesting Amber. What should be done? Isn't he in the HHOF?
November 10 2008, 04:22PM
Sadly, no he is not. He was, however, inducted to the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame in 1984.
November 10 2008, 04:22PM
"You don't know me but I know people. Even better, I know people who know people. Which is why you may not have heard, in your world of mediocrity, that Barack Obama became the first African-American President of the United States."
President Elect, you mean. Bush is still in charge for another couple of months. Americans can still do something to change this situation. They've done it before, no?
November 10 2008, 08:20PM
I'm not going to get into a semantic argument about it but I believe you've missed the point and the larger picture.
There was a little buzz about this past January on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of O'Ree's feat. I saw a couple of interviews and Willie came across as the salt o' the earth, a very likable old fellow without the slightest bit of a swelled head despite his rather significant claim to fame.
Don't know that he belongs in the Hall per se, but there should be a "pioneers section" to celebrate accomplishments like his. Maybe there is, I dunno, I've never been in the Hall.

A report released this week ranks Massachusetts as the number two state in the country for clean technology. The Baystate trails California on an index that ranks states based on development, policy, and investment in clean energy. Ron Pernick is director of the Portland, Oregon-based company, Clean Edge, the publisher of the annual report. Pernick says Massachusetts is a leader in clean energy policy and investment, but lags behind in generating renewable energy.
"Right now, California, Oregon, the West Coast states, as well as the Great Plains states, have a large abundance of renewable energy resources."
Pernick says the purpose of the report is to keep tabs on U.S. clean energy development at the state and local level.
"If you don't track, then you can't see improvement, and so it's very important that we look at the emerging clean tech ecosystem and really understand what's working and what's not, and where leadership is occurring."
Other New England states rank lower than Massachusetts. Connecticut is 11th, New Hampshire, 14th and Vermont is 15th. Among metro areas in the country, Boston ranks 10th.

Skip to comments.Krauthammer: Obamacare defunding Kabuki, Kamikaze and GOP will end up sushi
Posted on 09/20/2013 4:47:26 PM PDT by servo1969
On Fridays Special Report on the Fox News Channel, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer mocked the Republican tactic of using the budget process to defund President Barack Obamas 2010 health care reform law.
Krauthammer called the Houses vote to defund the law Kabuki and warned that it would come back to haunt congressional Republicans.
I think the Boehner speech is what you would expect, Krauthammer said. He didnt want to do it. He had to do it, so he had to defend it, and thats Kabuki. I think its going to go to the Senate and if we end up with a shutdown, its going to be Kamikaze, and the Republicans will end up sushi very thin slices. And everybody knows this. This is sort of a charade. Cruz is going to get a lot of airtime. Hes gotten a huge amount of airtime. There is nowhere to go on this.
He did note the law was very unpopular and was fraught with flaws, but he said the Republicans could stand in the way of defeating it.
The irony is as I have been saying for weeks, Obamacare is so unpopular even the unions are up in arms against it, he said. The AFL-CIO came within a hair of calling for its repeal. Right now they want all kinds of changes, which they are not going to get. Youve got Democrats against it. Its about to kick in and we heard today that they dont even have the software that will enable the system to calculate what the subsidies are after hearing that they dont have the software to ascertain what you say is your income and thus, your subsidy. Its true, so its on an honor system. This is going to be a complete disaster. Were on the threshold of that. As Chuck indicates, the Republicans were on the upswing of the issue and now this? Its insane and its not going to happen.
How's that worked out so far, Chuckie?
Maybe we should use that tactic on gun rights as well.
Is that how the Democrats get almost everything they want?
Too much thinking; not enough doing.
Happy Friday.
Pray for the brave ones. They've struck a nerve.
sounds good... i like sushi... dragon roll, please...
I have a lot of respect for Dr. Krauthammer but he needs a little more fire in the belly.
Put a sock in it, Charles.
Krauthammer didn't see the Reagan victories or the Tea party victories. His opinion is drivel.
and a salmon skin roll...
Thank God we have folks like Cruz and Bridenstein. The Tea Party will save our Republic
Why are so many "conservatives" predicting failure and criticizing the effort?
Smartest guy in the room attitude here.
What does the great one,Mark Levin, have to say about this?
the old saw..."Do or DIe" was never more fitting.
God's speed to all of us who sense the need to DO whats being done.
Doing the right thing is always the right thing to do.
Obamacare (aka KrautCare) is a train wreck for We The People.
So basically, Krauthammer believes we should set zero as our initial bargaining point and fall back from there.
The fake Republicans a la Karl Rove are coming out of the woodwork for us all to see on this issue. They would much rather just "go along to get along" as usual and are having to buckle under our phone calls. Take note who they are.
If CK is right and if the government shuts down then a worst case scenario would be the dems taking the house and holding the senate in 2014.
I'm worried that the GOP could over-play it's hand at some point.
You can bet "common sense gun control" will be their first agenda item.
He feels the same way about fighting abortion or fighting to lower taxes too.
He has a point, in the sense that it gives the Dems a "hammer." At least according to this account, he provides no alternative. In that sense, he has nothing.
The Kraut is off his meds.
Charles was a loyalist to King George in a previous life. He lived in an attic on Torrey Row.. He often Referred to the Colonists as Terrorists not capable of life without the support of the Crown. /s
To me that's one too many things this guy has been on the wrong side of recently, I no longer have any use for him.
As with most on Fox News who do they work for and what opinions are they being paid to say?
The GOP ruling class has had positively no victories in the last couple of elections. The 2010 victories were from Tea Party.
You cannot listen to these cowards. They have yet to figure out that their cowardly ways and lack of balls is the big turnoff to voters.
Stand up and be heard, be unapologetic and you get people to follow.
Nobody likes fools who want to win so bad they are willing to give up any reason that people would have to vote for them.
Charles needs to get out of the beltway and get a feel for the grassroots. Face it Charles, you will not win without the grassroots. The grassroots want bold winners, not dem lite pantywaists.
They are leaving out the main ingredient - education of the public. We know the President will not sign a bill defunding ObamaCare but .. to me .. that is not the point right now. Right now we need to educate the masses and drum up support. That might take months or never even happen. Who knows? Even if the bill never gets overturned we need this debacle etched in people's memories that this was a major screw-up of dems and Obama.
we need to be focused on blocking and tackling and not hail mary's.
Krauthammer: beaten wife syndrome
Rove: Stockholm syndrome.
Boner: crybaby.
with that sort of legacy, CHANGE....could be difficult.
I wouldn't hang my hat on this. I think that Obama really wanted to give them waivers, but he's already reeling from his unconstitutional deferral of business payments into Obamacare, his unconstitutional waiving of Obamacare for Congress and their aides, and his unconstitutional fight in Syria. The steady drip-drip-drip of his unconstitutional actions are feeding the thought in many that he, maybe, really does think he's a tyrant.
That's why he needed to back away from waiving the unions, too.
When the time is right, Obama will waive it for the unions, too.
The grass roots will just clog up his wheelchair. He's happy right where he is.
"Right wing fanatics" need to learn to roll over and accept the inevitable. Our betters have spoken. /s
I think he meant sashimi. Sushi is vinegared rice (made into various....).
Considering how stupid the voting majority is, he's probably correct. The media will spin, Obama lie and the brainless will zombie into the voting booth and vote Democrat.
So consider this a kamikaze strike and do it anyway. Make the Dems vote to shut the government down. Do it because it's the right thing to do.
Does anybody remember the complete humiliation of the embassy in Saigon and the helicopters taking refugees off its roof....And the defunding reason why that occured.
As hundreds of thousands of Viet Namese were killed, and the students humiliating returning troops prompted by the socialist radicals now running not only our colleges and universitys but this government as well.
Because the vast majority of voters in this country have no idea what's going on and when the propagandists begin saying how terrible the shutdown is and that it's the Pubs fault in their nightly news programs the public will believe them.
I doubt we will get obamacare defunded, but I do believe we will get a delay. If we can expand our majority in the House and win back the Senate with Tea Party Pubs then we can defund it, or continue the delay until we get a Pub POTUS.
I think what was really smart was the Pubs now have a 200 pg bill that responds to the question "if you repeal it what will you put in it's place".
What a bunch of whining defeatists the GOP-e are. They got burned twenty years ago when Clinton and the media convinced the public that the people who passed a budget were responsible for "shutting down the government", not the guy who vetoed it. So now they operate on the assumption that it always has to be that way. Well, it isn't 1995 anymore, and there are now conservative media outlets for them to present their case to the public. But not if they are afraid to make it.
Kraphammer is a pathetic RINO surrender-monkey who passes himself off as the world's Foremost Authority.
DO NOTHING PUNDITS, SUPPOSEDLY Republicans.......I DETEST THEM!!! Get BEHIND ME YOU COWARDS!!
This article claims you can get Obama care insurance for 100.00 per month. What kind of lies!!!
Look...it was 0bama who said he won't negotiate.
If it is true that the majority of Americans don't want 0bamacare then if Republicans play their cards right (like when has that happened?) they can shove the ....
"Democrats won't negotiate to keep the government running,"
"Obama won't negotiate to keep the government running,"
meme down the media's throat. It will hold water as it is the truth. Democrats and 0bama are making a single issue stand here. Instead of putting the bill through without 0bamacare and keeping the government running...the President and his men HAVE CHOSEN TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT.
The very real truth here is ....
Have the Republicans finally taught their dog to bark?
The people are on the side of the Republicans when it comes to 0bamacare.
Hey....give Boehner credit for doing the right thing here!!!
Charlie should take his surrender flag and leave the room. Let the grown-ups do the fighting. If you're not up to fighting tooth and nail against liberal-progressive commie overreach, please shut up and go sulk somewhere.
"So, do nothing and hope it just goes away? "
This is why America is going down the tubes. The Republicans are wimps or closet Commies. "None Dare Call it Treason", from 1964, is still applicable.
The nation is going full speed to become the USSA.
We're not going to win back the Senate in 2014 by defunding or delaying parts of ObamaCare. All that will do is allow the Dems and the media to blame Republican for the FUBAR that ObamaCare has already created — "If not for Republican obstructionism...."
If you want people to go the the polls in the 2014 mid-terms fully informed about the total catastrophe that is ObamaCare, then the Republicans should just stand aside and very publicly say, "You wanted it, you got it. We won't block a thing. Full speed ahead. Enjoy your ObamaCare, and vote accordingly in 2014."
I seriously cannot stand these old farts. They shook Reagan's hand once and they think they have special powers to hang around and instruct us as to what to do.
"Oh it will go away because the unions don't like it"
Like what the $#%!^% does that matter to these people?!
Chuck is like a broken clock.
I like spicy tuna hand rolls, Yuki special, hamburger style, tuna shasimi and a small saki and large Suporro. Just for starters.
Bonnie liked halibut too.
Yeah, that will totally work.
Do nothing. Let it sail and HOPE that the idiots that voted for this clown will see the light on their own. Gotcha. brilliant plan!
This isn't about electing more elephants. It is about forcing this issue because it needs to be done now!
Agree with your post.
Malicious obedience.
Just a few days ago, the pundits told as all the GOP was in revolution and chaos. Today, that very same party produced a massive victory in unity 230-189 with tow Democrats jumping ship to the Pubbies!!! Keep fighting Pubbies....do not heed the naysayers. Obama is failed POTUS!!! His words are naught, but those of a paper tiger!!! Defund Obamacare...sign/endorse the ever growing Lee/Cruz Defund Obamacare Petition!!! Do it Today!!!

For a moment, we stare across the open plain. In the distance, smoke wraps around a mesa, its folds as soft and gray as a bandana.
"Billy Roy helped fight that fire." I say. "Crystal said he came home at 4 in the morning."
"Anyone get hurt?"
"Didn't say."
Nick and Pat are retired ranchers. Billy Roy is a young farmer, lean and scrappy. All three are my neighbors. For a moment, I imagine Nick backing a trailer to load up cattle, Pat opening the gate, the phlegm of smoke in their throats. I see Billy Roy atop a bulldozer, fear on his face, fire crackling beside the cleats.
In these days of drought, I suspect their prayers sound more like curses than polite requests.
"We gotta go."
A breeze angles the brim of Nick's hat. He looks at Pat. "You got co-op books to balance."
She yanks open the door. "What's to balance?"
The truck pulls away. I walk to the porch and pull up a rocker. Twilight settles on the fields. Soon, lights atop irrigation derricks begin their nervous winks. It's a nightly routine. For miles, flashing beams slit the night with stabs of light.
The strobes distract my reverie. Eventually, I make my peace with them and turn my thoughts to seeds and soil and the meager water that falls from hoses in the shape of bells.
South of town, Billy Roy checks the derricks on his brother's farm. The wheels of his truck rock across furrows of dirt. The headlights polish piles of field stone and, now and then, silver the eyes of a thirsty coyote.
Inside the cab, country music replaces the clang of bulldozer cleats. Yet worry remains. It's a time of drought, after all, and the ground cracks open like Judgment Day. Cattle get sold and people get religion.
And I wonder if Billy Roy prays among the derricks, amid those bells of water, as hard as he does in the crackle of fire.

Laurier Brantford
World War I museums illustrate the convergence of history and memory
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Nov 11/13
On Remembrance Day, time is set aside to stop and commemorate members of the armed forces who died in the line of duty. Nov. 11 commemorates the formal end to World War I at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, according to the Armistice.
As we approach the centenary of that war, Peter Farrugia, associate professor of History and Contemporary Studies at Lauriers Brantford campus, is looking at how World War I, the Great War, is depicted in two of the worlds important museums, the Imperial War Museum in London, England, and the Historial de la Grande Guerre in Péronne, France. Through innovative exhibits of artifacts, carefully preserved archives and educational programs, both have helped the public to remember World War I.
Here the common task begins to diverge.
The histories of the museums are quite different. The Imperial War Museum (IWM) was created during the war in 1917 as both museum and memorial. Subsequently, the mandate of the museum expanded to include other wars in which Britain fought, telling the stories from a national perspective.
The Historial de la Grande Guerre was founded in 1992 to commemorate Frances Great Patriotic War. Its mandate was to reach beyond the French experience to also include the perspectives of both Britain and Germany, the two other main countries involved in World War I.
To date, Farrugia has focused his research on archival investigations in both museums. Looking at their creation, their evolving collections policies and the themes theyve chosen to concentrate on, he has discovered some basic differences in how World War I is not only remembered but also represented by the two institutions.
For example, in the early 1990s, the IWM created a famous exhibit that mimicked a WWI trench. In an attempt to recreate the experience of the trenches, visitors walked through the exhibit that replicated not only the cramped space and sounds of the trenches but also to the dismay of many the smell.
In counterpoint to this experiential approach, the Historial adopted a museographical focus that sought to allow the objects to speak for themselves. The Historial also emphasized the commonality of suffering among the three main combatant states France, Britain, and Germany by presenting objects with trilingual explanations and analyses.
Farrugias research demonstrates concretely that what we remember and what our public institutions help us commemorate can be widely divergent as people seek to grasp the full import of the Great War.

The sewer is plugged. As the water enters the pipe, the air coming into the toilet could either be what is trapped under its trap or you could have a mechanical vent fitting the prevents the air from escaping normally.

The usually over-the-top and eccentric younger collection of European fashion retailer Zara appears to be getting a much more toned down and sophisticated appeal this season. But don't fret, causal separates like fun graphic tees and jeans are still around for those of you TRF cool, hip, and trendy girls. What is different that we're really loving about this more grown up look is the use of color. From this vibrant red blazer with zip details to candy-tone shoes, and of course the amazing colored denim. Colorful lady-like dresses and crocheted tops styled with ultra-distressed jeans solidifies this as a perfect spring look in our book!

first off let me tell you a little about my anime exp./preferences just so you will know my tastes and possibly be able to point me in the right direction.
well ive always enjoyed anime ever since i was a kid. i remember watching galaxy express 999 on the sci fi channel as a kid and loving it which is what i guess got me started on anime. from there i really didnt watch much untill toonami(used to be the anime block on cartoon network) started airing dbz and gundam wing which i really liked. around the same time period i saw the ghost in the shell movie and princess mononoke which i loved. a little later on i found cowboy bebop and samurai champloo which in my opinion are amazing. had an ex-coworker introduce me to bleach which was great through the ss arc but has since become boring to me. i also enjoy reading a good manga such as the rurouni kenshin manga although imo the anime was horrible having read the manga first, got like 20 something episodes in and quit watching that one. the rurouni kenshin ova's where amazingly well drawn and followed the story in the manga, probably my favorite ova's. i really liked FLCL although it was just wayyyy too short. i watched the fma anime and liked it. other animes ive watched and liked are death note, afro samurai(just an amazing sword fight anime),akira, ninja scroll and excel saga(funny as hell). ive found a few animes i plan on watching through the top five anime thread, the girl who leapt through time, haruhi suzumiya, monster and planetes. i know my list is all over the place but someone has to have something for me lol. and go!

Ho Ho Ho - It's Off to Albury We Go!02/11/2007
Albury, Australia: Virgin Blue Airlines today announced it will launch flights to the city of Albury^ after a 12 month evaluation process. The team made a flying visit to the city in the new E-Jet to make the announcement, dressed as Santa and his Elves bringing an early Christmas present of $69* launch fares and an executive style jet aircraft service to the people of the Albury-Wodonga region.
Virgin Blue's validation team and commercial team members conducted numerous visits to Albury over recent months to ascertain the viability for Virgin Blue to begin services to the region. Albury was included on a short list of more than 20 regional airports around Australia under consideration following the delivery of the first of 20 new EMBRAER E-jet's direct from Brazil.
The aircraft is slightly smaller than Virgin Blue's existing 737 aircraft which means a plethora of new destination options, low fares, competition and affordability for more regional communities across the country, including Albury.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "Albury was a clear front runner from the moment our team touched down there due to the enthusiastic response, its demographics and existing airport facilities. The EMBRAER E-Jet is ideally suited to markets of this size and we are very much looking forward to bringing Virgin Blue flights to the people of Albury for the first time."
Virgin Blue worked in close consultation with the Council who were an enthusiastic campaigner and supporter for additional air services.
The airline will launch flights between Albury and Sydney from 5 February 2008, offering an immediate double daily service for the convenience of both Albury and Sydney Guests.
Brett Godfrey continued, "Our research has indicated that a jet aircraft service is highly desirable and top of the "wish list" for travellers so we have listened to these needs and will launch with not just one flight but two flights a day and we are hopeful of getting our fair share of support in return."
To celebrate the announcement, Virgin Blue has launched a "Ho Ho Ho Jingle Jet" fare of $69* one way on the internet on sale now until 16 November 2007 for travel between 4 February 2008 to 15 March 2008 and 29 April to 26 June 2008.
The airline will initially launch with a Sydney-Albury service and will closely monitor demand for that route before evaluating other potential new routes in and out of Albury.
Brett Godfrey added, "The E-Jet will usher in a new era of air services for Albury, we are keen to banish the days where regional centres are only serviced by turbo prop aircraft and we are adamant that in centres like Albury, travellers are just as deserving of high quality, efficient and affordable flights as capital city commuters, whether they are travelling for business or pleasure."
The flying time between Albury and Sydney will be approximately 40 minutes and Guests will have the option of either an aisle or window seat in the executive style 2x2 leather seating configuration.
Today's announcement came hot on the heels of yesterday's unveiling of Port Macquarie as a new E-Jet route also from February next year.
The E-Jet will also provide Virgin Blue with greater flexibility and the ability to increase frequencies on existing routes. Along with brand new destinations, it will also allow the airline to re-enter the high frequency Canberra-Sydney route from February 2008.
Virgin Blue will continue to evaluate other potential new ports for the EMBRAER to service with the 20 aircraft being delivered over the next 18 months.
Brett Godfrey finished, "This is the beginning of a new and exciting phase and Albury is the first of many new ports that will benefit from the increased competition as Virgin Blue continues to expand its route network."
Virgin Blue will offer connections from Albury via Sydney to Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Hobart, Melbourne and Perth.
^ Subject to regulatory approval
* All fares are for flights booked on the internet or $15 more when booked by phone. Fares are subject to availability and may not be available on all flights or peak times. A credit card surcharge of an additional $2 per person per one way flight is applicable.

You are too cute. I'm sorry about the UPS fiasco, but kinda glad it led to this spoof. And seriously, I liked LiT, but ultimately you're right: pointless movie about pointless people. I think their point -- irony! -- was that that's life? But of course, not everyone believes that.
