No limit, let your imagination run wild.
t3hVeG, I like it a lot. I think the red/green background is a little brutal on the eyes though, if it were toned down a little I'd like it even more.
Keep up the good work everyone, it looks like we have a very nice selection to choose from, we might even need to hand out a runner up prize and run their banner in January! (don't hold me to that though). Props to the D.Gray-man banner (I have an unhealthy love for that manga!).
>__< I wish I could make a good background for my banner....
I saw the "flyer" for this at the end of naruto chp 377.... I think i may enter this just for fun.

Skip to comments.REPORT: 'PRESS SHOP' REMOVED AL-QAEDA FROM BENGHAZI TALKING POINTS
Posted on 03/06/2013 7:29:28 AM PST by TexasCajun
Since CBS News learned that the Obama administration delivered Benghazi documents to the Senate Intelligence Committee last Thursday, a source who has viewed the documents is telling the network that someone in a federal agency press shop was involved in changing the talking points to remove al-Qaeda.
In fact, CBSs source says the docs say that there were warnings from Libya that were sent to Washington days before the deadly attack on the U.S. mission that killed four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens that specifically alerted the administration about an imminent attack on the U.S. consulate.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
...it always ends at the print shop.
that specifically warned of an imminent attack on the US compound in Benghazi
-Sharyl Attkisson-
Where are the survivors and what do they have to say?
apparently, they are not permitted to speak by the obamabotz....
"What difference does it make?"
Can we please start mentioning the "I" word?? Now? Please?
I can picture an excited phone call or text message being dictated and sent by a nervous man experiencing an increased heart rate subliminally thinking, "They'll get us out of this, the military is only a couple of hours away ... "
And as the clock ticked away and what was usually responded to in a short time, was seemingly not received ... another dispatch sent, now in a state of fear and controlling the looming panic ... "Send help, riot and destruction immenent, lives in danger .. SOS ASAP !!"
Surely they'll rerspond NOW
The rest is history.
Anyone wanting on or off this ping list, please advise.
The longer this administration stays in dc, the more bazzar the "news" (propaganda) becomes.
Omitted the terror connection, and pissed on the 1st Amendment. How American... /s
With the exception of 1 or 2 in our elected offices and none this administration, would I depend on them to cover my back.
Are they imprisoned in one of those NDDA/NDAA (sic?) camps?
What would have happened if any of the following were in the chain of command receiving the calls for help from Ambassador Stevens:
GS Patton, DW Eisenhower, W Churchill, T Roosevelt, HS Truman.
My bet is that they would have taken action before asking permission.
What those people - God rest their souls - went though was pure hell.
The "I'm here to get my fair share" attitude has been bubbling up for a long time as the predominant mentality, and has finally become pervasive in our leadership. A perfect example is Moo-shell, who flies around on the taxpayer dime with no concern about expense or public perception.
I think 1 general - africacom; one admiral - in the med on a carrier; and general petraeus all lost their commands over Benghazi.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I've never read any reports about what and how they fought (if indeed there COULD be), but I wonder ... did these guys work alone or together from a foxhole type of setting?
Were they in communication with each other ... all the time?
The dog ate my homework!
Who is the underling and have they been fired for changing the clear meaning of their superiors?
I find it very difficult to believe that of about 30 survivors there is not one patriot that will step forward and speak. You can also bet that of 30 CIA operatives several had military training. You can bet your ass they were up there also fighting with those Ex Navy Seals. Per reports some of the survivors were injured. Those Seals were busy fighting and communications would be handled by the operatives. They know everything. They would know even more than the Seals that laid down their lives for us.
Where in the hell are these people?
Those Seals are heros and all that assisted them in the annex are heros. Obama is a traitor and not worthy. Obama is not a patriot. Obama loaths his country.
All of them would go for blood. Patton or TR would personally lead the assualt on Benghazi.
Probably because everyone got a different Benghazi lie ... I've often wondered what they told Romney to keep him from bringing up the subject.
And generals? What kept them quiet?
I suspect each lie was tailored to the recipient...
Speaking of which - I wonder what the butt kissers at the New York Times were told... or the Washington Post?
What difference does it make?
Exactly. The important question is, where can I get my free Obamaphone?
Follows a similar pattern of behavior at the HI Dept of Health and the US Supreme Court...John Brennan has been a busy bee.
They love him. They worship him. They will stand in the line of fire and take a bullet for him. They will throw themselves under the bus at his glorious approach.
SeeBS forsook their role as government watchdog a generation ago. Why change now?
Maybe we should Benghazi a CBS building so we can explain it to them.
This is a typical 3rd world country tyrant's attitude toward the populace who were dumb enough to put them in office. (twice) Shame on us. Do it to us once, shame on you, do it to us twice, shame on us. But with this election there was so much corruption....at the ballot box in some states and cities.
Uncle Mittie, I think the "underling" is still in our whitehouse.
Maybe the answers were in her head and notebook. If only in her head, we'll never know.
Will probably never know anyway regardless of who might have the answers.

PA - Adam Walsh Act
Labels: AdamWalshAct , MegansLaw , Pennsylvania , UserSubmitted
By Robert:
Hello, I'm a RSO (Registered Sex Offender) and a regular visitor of this site. I recently had my registration period changed from a 10 year plea bargain to a tier III offender under AWA (Wikipedia). I noticed on the state registry 90 percent were listed as tier III. I had brought up the fact I was really bothered being a tier III in sex offender treatment class and having to register every three months for the rest of my life when my plea bargain clearly stated 10 year Megan's law (Wikipedia), and the counselor's who are female's told me "it was what I deserved because I had caused my victim a lifetime of pain"! And I have to sit there and take it or they can find a reason to unsuccessfully discharge me from the mandated program and that would violate my probation. I took a nolo contendere (Wikipedia) plea and can't even maintain my innocence as I would be discharged from the treatment program for denial. My charges are misdemeanor's and since I have two of them I'm a tier III offender automatically based on that alone, not on the risk level I impose on the community, although the community sees me as a high risk worst of the worst offenders now. There is no logic or justice in any of the sex offender laws in this country and we need to change them. I recently joined my local chapter of RSOL PA and plan to advocate for changes in these laws, not so much for my sake as for my family's I have kids who are very affected by the registry. Please any direction or advice you could give me on advocating would be greatly appreciated.
4 comments :
For the longer term, consider moving to a state that does not have such draconian enforcement or interpretation of the Ex-SO laws. In 2004 I retired and moved to Oregon. On a trip back from Arizona I was arrested in CA for not registering, even though I was registered in OR.
In CA there is a one million dollar bail required for my failure to register ao I sat out 42 days in the county jail and ultimately pled guilty. I just finished four years probation and am heading back to Oregon.
(Dont plan on moving to CA)
You might check with your local ACLU to determine if there is a short-range solution.

You did not state the age of the victim. or if you are under supervision. If you have any sexual prior, you are dead meat. You are required to register for life under the Adam Walsh act. In fact, the registry board actually have no choice but to follow the mandates of SORNA and the cognate state law which is a clone of the Adam Walsh act, and for the most part, designate you as a level III. The trial courts actually have no legal jurisdiction to tell you how long you will register or not. If the victim is under age, this is especially egregious under the SORNA laws As to the "therapists;" They in your particular matter, are not your friend.They want to cull information from you to collect statistical data, search out your "modus operandi - keep you under their thumbs, and treat you as though you are a sexual psychopath because you have no feelings for the regard of others and that is the reason you got that statement from them yet, they want to be your friend. All under the guise of "TREATMENT." The conclusive presumption that prevails is that if you have committed a sex crime, you are conclusively presumed dangerous, and unable to stop the behavior. It is the conviction, not anything else.Robert. Why do you think their are so ,many female "counselors" involved in sex offender "treatment?" If one commits sex crimes, it is assumed that a person cannot relate to women their own age and so on. This is especially so for men who have committed a crime against a child. So they load up these sessions everywhere with women whom they believe you simply cannot relate to. And they watch you squirm in front of them.Quite a crafty operative package when you have witnessed it from my legal view for a number of years!!

Ok another problem is for my crime i never had to register for megans law and now i just got done with 2 years of probation is pa i now have to register under the adam walsh act for 15 years. and also u have people under megans law for 10 years and they cud be on their 9th year and then be put on the act for another 15 years i think there shud me time served..... its wrong of them to call it not a punishment.
- Tuesday, June 04, 2013 12:19:00 AM
I also was not supposed to be on megans law until the walsh act

Bills training camp observations: Day 11
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Aug 1 2014 8:52PM
The Buffalo Bills got on to the practice field 30 minutes later than expected on Friday night, but they were able to get in a solid evening of work ahead of their initial preseason game.
It was a bit of a shorter practice with the team only in helmets, shoulder pads and shorts, but they took a good portion of time during team drills to work on their red zone offense and defense. Even with an abbreviated session, there were still some standouts during the day:
Manuel sharp in red zone, 2 minute sputters
- In the final practice before his 2014 debut, EJ Manuel and the Bills tried to build some momentum in an area that they struggled with last season. The red zone deficiencies of 2013 are well-documented, and it was a focal point of Friday's session for the team's offense specifically. In their first time doing the red zone drill, Manuel had a stretch of three straight attempts that resulted in a touchdown. The second-year quarterback found Robert Woods twice and Chris Gragg once for the solid three-play stretch, with his best effort coming on the last of those three. Manuel went through his first and second reads on that specific play, scanned the field and kept an eye on the closing pressure, then spotted an open Woods in the middle of the end zone at the last moment and got him the ball. That's the type of development the Bills are looking for in that area. In the two-minute drill to end practice, the Bills found a nice hookup between Manuel and Mike Williams to keep the drive alive on a fourth and long, but outside of that play the offense barely got anything going due to both inaccurate throws and collapsing pockets.
Hairston back, no longer at guard
- With Chris Hairston getting back on the field, the Bills decided to give him a look somewhere else along the offensive line. Since training camp has started, Hairston has been exclusively at right guard and splitting first-team reps with Kraig Urbik. The plan has appeared to change shortly before their upcoming preseason game. On Friday, the Bills put Hairston at a position in which most are used to seeing him, using him as the second-team left tackle behind rookie Seantrel Henderson. In his place at guard, rookie Cyril Richardson resumed his role of splitting the first-team snaps at right guard with Urbik. Hairston is trying to find a home anywhere along the offensive line, and if he can prove valuable enough as a swing lineman, he may have a shot to be on the correct side of the roster bubble.
Tight end depth for Sunday
- The return of Lee Smith to practice on Friday signaled that the Bills could be alright on Sunday with how much time they need to allocate to each player. Smith will likely be with the first team, but they know what type of player he is. Expect the majority of snaps to go to second-year player Chris Gragg and the recently signed Dominique Jones. Another player that could get some time on the field at tight end is Evan Rodriguez, who has worked mostly at fullback throughout training camp. He took some reps with Smith, Gragg and Jones during routes versus air. With Chandler and Moeaki sidelined on Friday night, it's unlikely that they'll suit up on Sunday.
Mike Williams has strong day
- Throughout camp thus far it's been either rookie Sammy Watkins or wideout Chris Hogan getting all the praise for their efforts, but Mike Williams stole the show from that position on Friday. The oldest wideout on the roster, Williams showed his high-pointing ability on more than one occasion, mixing it with smooth route running during one-on-one drills. He looks quite healthy and the Bills are depending on all the aforementioned attributes to give them something their roster has been missing for a while now: a bonafide red zone target.
Starting corners rested
- Head coach Doug Marrone continued his line of thinking in being cautious with his starting cornerbacks. Both Stephon Gilmore and Leodis McKelvin did not take a single snap on defense during Friday's team drills, a precaution likely taken because both had offseason procedures done. McKelvin hasn't taken a single rep in team drills over the course of the past week, so it's likely that he won't be available for the Bills' upcoming contest. Gilmore has only gotten a rest day here or there, so his availability may be a bit more likely. Marrone did not specify if either player would play in the Hall of Fame game Sunday.
Day 11 MVP: CB Nickell Robey
- The player that barely edged out Mike Williams for most valuable player honors on Friday night was perhaps the smallest on the field. The play of second-year nickel corner Nickell Robey was among the best to end the week of practice. He chipped in two interceptions, a knocked down pass on a blitz attempt and a few separate passes knocked down in coverage. He allowed one completion to wide receiver Caleb Holley on a sharply thrown pass by Jeff Tuel. Besides that, Robey gave up nothing and continued to be a thorn in the side of the offense.
Day 11 LVP: QB Thad Lewis
- The struggles continued for Lewis on Friday in the form of inaccurate throws that resulted in turnovers once again. Normally there isn't too great of a disparity between Lewis and Tuel, despite some of the former's shortcomings throughout the start of camp. However, Friday brought one of Tuel's best performances at camp to date, and coupled with Lewis' continuous misfires, it created some space in the battle to be the backup to EJ Manuel.
Up Next:
The Bills have a walkthrough scheduled for Saturday morning, then fly out to Canton, Ohio for their first preseason game. They'll take on the New York Giants Sunday night at 8 pm.

Average fit but a fun color
"I love the color of this, I got it in the bright pink and it's the perfect pop of color! There is enough space for me to put in arch-inserts to make them a little more comfortable since they are, well, flat. I enjoy that it has the ankle strap so I won't lose a shoe while moving around. I got them in winter so I haven't been able to wear them outside of the house to put them to the real test, but so far so good!"

"When I ordered these shoes, I wasn't sure if I would really like them. But when they arrived, I LOVED them! The only problem is they do run small. I had to reorder a 1/2 size larger. I got the taupe, which will go with a lot of my wardrobe. I love the fuchsia, but just don't have enough outfits that would match. As I haven't worn them yet, I can't comment on the comfort, but I think they will be just fine."

A hat-trick from TJ Perenara was the catalyst for the 'Canes' impressive 46-19 victory over the Force at nib Stadium in Perth on Friday.
A hat-trick of tries from TJ Perenara was the catalyst for the Hurricanes' impressive 46-19 win over Western Force at nib Stadium on Friday.
In a result that soured Nathan Sharpe's record-breaking 150th Super rugby appearance, the Force were given a thrashing by the 'Canes.
Scrum-half Perenara scored three of the visitors' six tries on his starting debut as the New Zealand franchise won a second straight match to climb to second place in the conference table.
Andre Taylor, Jason Eaton and Charlie Ngatai also crossed for the Hurricanes, with fly-half Beauden Barrett knocking over nine points.
The 34-year-old Sharpe became the first player to reach the milestone in the southern hemisphere competition but the Australia lock couldn't celebrate with a win, despite the scores being locked at 10-10 approaching half-time after Matt Hodgson cancelled out Perenara's fifth-minute try.
It was the Force's third straight loss, while injuries to wings Nick Cummins (calf) and Napolioni Nalaga (leg) compounded their woes.
After playing in South Africa – losing to the Stormers and beating the Lions – the Hurricanes' backs proved too much for the hosts, with Perenara shining in his first Super Rugby start.
His second try, coming in the 35th minute, came after a smart offload by right wing Cory Jane before full-back Taylor's try in the corner put the Hurricanes 22-10 up at the interval.
19-year-old Perenara sealed the bonus-point for four tries in the 50th minute, and late scores by the impressive Eaton and replacement Ngatai completed a comfortable win.
The scorers:
For Western Force:
Try: Hodgson
Con: Stannard
Pen: Stannard 4
For Hurricanes:
Tries: Perenara 3, Taylor, J Eaton, Ngatai
Con: Barrett 3, Kirkpatrick 2
Pen: Barrett, Kirkpatrick

Massachusetts State Police are looking for the owner of a bag of toys. They'd love to find that person or family before Christmas.
On Tuesday, December 18th state troopers received several calls about a bag in the roadway. Massachusetts State Trooper Steve Ahlstedt responded and discovered a large black trash bag containing numerous unwrapped toys on I-93 northbound in Boston. Massachusetts State Trooper Kenneth Gaetz says, while State Police are using their best techniques to try to uncover the owner of the toys, they have not yet succeeded.
"There was no receipt to follow up on the toys. There was just a black trash bag with the some children's toys inside the bag. there was nothing leading back to a store of a family."
While asked to describe what was in the bag, Gaetz says he does not want to reveal too much, as the owner should be able to identify the contents:
"There was a remote control car. But we are holding the identity of most of the toys so that when we do receive calls, they have to describe what's in the bag and then we will know that they own those toys."
In the hopes that the owner can be identified before Christmas, Gaetz says, if someone does have information they can do one of two things: contact the state police barracks at the Ted Williams Tunnel in Boston or call State Police Media Relations at 508 820-2623.

FAA Orders No Fly Zone over Bundy Ranch
Kristan T. Harris | The Rundown Live
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has put a "no fly zone" over the Bundy ranch. They are now only allowing relief aircraft operations under direction of BLM to fly into Bundy Ranch territory only.
This comes after the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has carted in special ops and out of state rangers to assist with citizens who are upset over the recent theft of land for fracking.
Evidence supports Senator Harry Reid is behind this land grab in order to give the rights to China to build a solar panel farm. The BLM has been handing out contracts for fracking in Nevada recently.

If a movie stars a woman who does anything with her body beyond walking and having sex, you can bet it's going to come with its own workout fad. So you shouldn't be surprised that Hunger Games Workouts are here. But should you try them? Surprisingly, we don't think it's a bad idea. We're not saying you should start a workout routine in hopes of looking like Jennifer Lawrence (or Katniss Everdeen, a teenager whose "workout" and "diet" were inspired by trying to survive starvation and several physically intense attempts at her life). But as movie-inspired workout trends go, this one's a hell of a lot better than a lot of them (see: last year's Black Swan ballet/low-calorie diet weight loss fad).
If you're struck with the urge to "train like a tribute," here's everything you need to know about the Hunger Games Workouts out there:

30? No way! More like 50+ !
In order to estimate the height you need to have a reference. Based on the height of the ship in the foreground I would estimate at least 350 ft since the ship has a known height of 236 ft.

Nice one, i was expecting super flashback , but glad oda wrapped it up quick. Got a feeling that Bellamy might betray Dofla and join Luffy instead.
The memory loss thing is really creepy even if it is a weak form of memory loss. And wow, Robin made a shocked face. Don't blame yourselves about that guys, you couldn't have known it was a trick. And finally some Bellamy, lets see what his choice is.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
This was a good chapter. Robin's face was priceless! This is maybe the second time since her introduction to the series that Robin makes a shocked face! Is that Moria on the top right panel of page 16??? If it is, then that would explain what happened to him after the war.
^It does look like him... but so far none of the toys look like the people they were originally, so I'd be surprised if it was him. Plus I think someone mentioned Moria after the time skip was over, If he had been turned into a toy no one would remember him.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Great Chapter. Think it was rushed by Oda's standards. Robin's face was nice for a change. I think Bellamy will initially side with Doflamingo and may screw up things for Luffy and Co initially, but as the war begins, he will change sides....... maybe.
Also, if that was indeed Moria, then that "toy creating" DF is too damn powerful. He was shichibukai, so him being taken out like that is an indicator of the DF user's power.
If it is him, it would make him a powerful ally in this war. This arc smells like a mash between the Impel Down arc and the Alabasta arc.
...oh right, forgot about this since I never really took it seriously, but Gladius is confirmed to not be Sabo as he was already an adult 10 years ago.
Speaking of age, that one small girl with the see through eye patch look exactly the same age 10 years ago as she does now. I think she may have an interesting power.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
something miss here, if 10 years ago Violet already have her 'clairvoyance' ability, then why she doesn't see dofla coming?
dofla did agree to keep king riku alive in return of her serving dofla, right?
imo, bellamy doesn't have any chance, it's luffy we're talking avout. the difference between them are super huge. besides, zoro, kinemon and bartolomeo are not far away. it's like suicide mission to attack luffy here.

He did research on the influenza virus at the Univ. of Michigan, in 1946 became assistant professor of epidemiology there, and in 1947 went to the Univ. of Pittsburgh. In 1963 he became director of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego; he retired in 1975. He was renowned for his work in developing a vaccine against poliomyelitis. The Salk vaccine is made by cultivating three strains of the virus separately in monkey tissue. The virus is separated from the tissue, stored for a week, and killed with formaldehyde; tests are then made to make certain that it is dead. A series of three or four injections with the killed-virus vaccine is required to confer immunity.

The fact that Bill Gross eats his own cooking is one reason many investors own Pimco closed-end funds despite their often hefty premiums. Disclosures show that, last week, as CEFs with rich premiums were selling off heavily, Gross bought shares of two Pimco offerings as their prices weakened.
As closed-end fund watcher George Spritzer notes, Gross recently picked up 250,000 shares of the Pimco Corporate Income & Strategy Fund (PCN, See the SEC filing here) and nearly 450,000 shares of the Pimco Corporate & Income Opportunity Fund (PTY, Filings are here and here).
But look at the premiums. By comparison to the lofty valuations of the funds covered in Barron's, the two look downright earthly. PCN, with its 7.4% distribution, currently fetches 17% above its net asset value, according to CEFConnect. It has gone no higher than 30% over NAV in the the last year. PTY and its distribution yield of 7.6% are 18.5% above NAV. It, too, hasn't travelled above a 30% premium.
The filing pages for two of the funds we cited for their dangerous premiums, the Pimco High Income Fund's (PHK) and Pimco Global StocksPLUS & Income Fund (PGP), which are currently 55% and 51% above NAV even after the selloff, don't show any fresh purchases by Gross as of this writing.
That could change, of course. Keep an eye on the subject here and here.
In other Bill Gross news, the CNBC talking head is out today saying that stock and bond prices "seem to have plateaued." Head over to the Barrons.com Income Investing blog to read my colleague Mike Aneiro's take on the subject.

Comments: I love these shoes after about 200 miles on them. Mostly running on forest trails. The traction is very good on wet leaves and light snow. Pretty good on loose dirt. Once broken in, they form well to the feet. The uppers are durable and have resisted several sharp sticks. The laces are stretchy which helps fit. The shoes clean up well and still look great. I'm 200 pounds and find the cushioning is sufficient on trail runs of 20 miles. I've worn Peregrine 2 (which are great shoes), NB 101s and 110s and couldn't fit into Kinvara TR1s (toe box was too small). I like the Kinvara TR2s best.
From: Randy, Waterloo, MI USA
Comments: I think these Kinvara TR2s are quite similar to the old NB MT101s, much more so than the MT110s. They have a nice flexible upper, solid rock plate, and good traction for all but the most sloppy conditions. They have a near perfect amount of cushion, enough for races up to ~13 mi while still keeping a very low profile. Two of my first three runs in these were 6 and 10 mi races (Six in the Stix and Exeter 10 miler) and they felt great.
From: John, Houston, TX
Comments: I was a bit nervous to buy these shoes despite prior success with other Saucony running shoes simply because of medicore reviews of the Kinvara TR (version 1) shoe. So far I have been very pleased with the TR2 that is lighter than the original TR. I run without socks and have had no blisters/hot spots. We'll see how they hold up after a couple hundred miles. I'd buy them again and will think about trying the Kinvara road shoe when my Free 3.0s wear out.

Presidents Obama's effort to sabotage his own last-minute deal with the Senate reveals who is the real adult in the White House.
Welcome to the bottom of the fiscal cliff.
With the failure of Congress and the White House to meet their self-imposed deadline, the nation fell over the cliff just as the ball fell in Times Square.
And yet, despite all of the dire warnings, no one looks particularly squished. That's because Washington doesn't operate according to Earth logic. It's like when Wile E. Coyote steps off a falling boulder at just the right moment to be able to walk away from the impact unscathed. Or perhaps he lands on a trampoline. Of course, in such situations he's usually then flattened by an unexpected follow-up boulder or smashed against the underside of the cliff on the bounce from the trampoline. Or perhaps some of his Acme equipment performs in such a way that invites yet another investigation from the Consumer Products Safety Commission.
Metaphorically speaking, these are all possible outcomes in the coming days. For in cartoonish Washington, what remains certain is continued uncertainty. In the near term, House Republicans may reject the Senate deal hammered out by Vice President Biden and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and passed in the wee hours this morning. Or they may amend the agreement, making it unpalatable to the Senate or to the president.
In the longer term, one guaranteed outcome of this not-so-grand bargain is that we will have many more showdowns and budget crises in the weeks and months ahead. In other words, cheer up for the worst is yet to come.
Perhaps the surest indication that Washington operates on the kooky side of the looking glass now is the sudden, even disturbing, revelation that the sanest, most grown-up and responsible person in the White House is … Joe Biden.
To be delicate about it, Biden is not famous for having an ironclad grip on reality. He told a man in a wheelchair, "Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see ya." He proclaimed Brussels, Belgium, "the capital of the free world." He reminisced with Katie Couric about the time President Roosevelt went on TV after the stock market crash of 1929 to reassure the American people – a time when FDR wasn't president and the American people didn't have TVs. He seems to think "literally" is an abracadabra word that makes anything true simply by saying it.
But, for the third time now, Biden has proved more useful, realistic and constructive in a budget crisis than his boss – a president who used to brag about his ability to work with people who disagree with him. In 2010 Biden and McConnell worked out a deal on the extension of the Bush tax cuts and, again, in the 2011 debt ceiling fight. In the latter, as Bob Woodward's book makes clear, the president seemed ill-equipped to negotiate a deal.
Lately, President Obama has been floating the idea that the reason he can't work with Republicans is that they have an irrational aversion to working with him. It's a pretty convenient excuse when you think about it. It automatically means any failure is someone else's fault. But it fails to account for the possibility that maybe there's a reason Obama is so bad at closing the deal.
For instance, yesterday, when Biden and McConnell were grinding out the final details of a budget deal, President Obama had nothing better to do than hold something like a campaign event in front of a cheering audience of supporters. The president mocked Congress during the most delicate moments of his own administration's negotiations with Congress. Moreover, he gloated that if Republicans accepted this deal it would amount to a surrender on taxes. And while that's a defensible position on the merits, it made things politically harder for Republicans to agree to the deal. He also decided to announce before the deal was signed that any future deficit reductions would require yet more tax hikes. Senate Republicans didn't take the bait, but it was clear that Obama was baiting them.
Indeed, at times it seemed like the stunt was designed to sabotage a deal he allegedly wanted. At other moments it just seemed like Obama needed to preen in front of the cameras, as if he were jealous of all the attention Congress was getting. Either way, it was an amusing spectacle given the desperate and ridiculous movie-buzz conversation inside the beltway aimed at likening Obama to Abraham Lincoln. Just the day before, Meet the Press host David Gregory hopefully asked Obama whether this was his "Lincoln moment."
Obama has proved himself to be many things, but "Lincolnesque" isn't one of them.

Great casual shoe addition!
"Love this shoe. Great addition to your casual wear with jeans or shorts. The mild added glitter to the black gives it a slight twist from your average black slip on and helps give it a more noticed looked. Amazing buy. I love the fit. I normally wear a size 7 in G by Guess and stuck they fit like charm. They do have a slight hug on your foot but I think it's from being a new shoe so they need a little wear in, as any shoe."

Writing Prompt: Fly OR Become an Animal?
Life is all about choices. Will I bring peanut butter or turkey in my lunch? Do I choose the minty toothpaste or the blue gel toothpaste? Well this week's Write On Writing Prompt from PuffinEagle3 presents us with another difficult choice:
Would you rather be able to fly or become an animal??
That's a tough one! Can I choose to be a bird so I can do both, or is that not allowed? I wonder what most people would choose. Let PuffinEagle3 and the rest of us know what YOU would choose in the Comments below.

The Crossroads of the Aether
Is my collection simply amazing or getting out of hand. How do you know? At what point does fandom become obsession? What are your thoughts?
Views: 903
The Professor is a retired bookseller and was sometimes asked to quote on so many yards of books . In one case they were to provide background for a boardroom .
Hoarding is a mental disorder that usually has roots in some sort of trauma. Instead of working through and dispelling painful feelings, the person copes by surrounding themselves with stuff as an insulator. My mother is a classic hoarder. She will admit she has too much stuff, but literally doesn't see or smell the filth and clutter. I spent whole vacations at her house trying to help her clean and organize, only to return in 6 months and have it looking exactly the same.
Many times hoarders will keep one or more pets because they're sources of unconditional love without condemnation. Often, they can't/don't keep up with cleaning up after their pets and the home becomes disgusting. It's a vicious cycle of being traumatized, insulating themselves to try and escape the pain, knowing they've created a hopeless situation they can't begin to deal with alone, fearing backlash from friends and relatives, then slipping back into denial and isolation.
Owning, using, and enjoying a lot of stuff doesn't make you a hoarder. I'm definitely not a minimalist! I recently paired 9 bookshelves of books down to two for a cross country move. (It was like choosing which child to keep!) I still have 5 or 6 tubs of fabric to go through. We've had 4 garage sales in the last year and filled the garage for every one of them. The stuff was donated to charity afterwards. The point is, you can own the stuff just don't let it own you.
If you cannot bear to throw anything away, tend to shop and/or collect stuff when you're feeling overwhelmed, and have difficulty with personal relationships because of your stuff, it may be time to seek a professional's opinion. If family or friends are accusing you of hoarding it could be a valid concern, or it could just be a manipulation tactic. Most of the time it's a manipulation tactic. I have to agree with Professor MacGregor's comment..." if you worry that you might have it, then you probably don't."
I really don't know where I fall in any catagory? I do know my things are not spilling out all over the place in my actual living spaces. I have a collection of things but they are displayed neatly in china hutches and I have one room with bookcases. I have more closets then I need and 6 are empty, and a full basement and a detached garage. With the exception of one corner of my basement I still have so much unfilled space left. If I tally'd everything up in storage used, it would = one small closet in my loft/finshed attic, it is filled with Christmas trees and decor, and one corner of my basement is filled with my outdoor vintage finds. I have included a pic of one room with the most things displayed..all other rooms are minimal.
What a comfortable looking room .
Thank you Professor Fate. That's the room downstairs that I read in the most. I did leave out in my last reply that I do have a walk in closet in my master bedroom(and yes it is full..with all my girly stuff, clothes, shoes and purses.lol). It's huge with builtin cabinetry and countertops and a full length mirror on one wall. My home is 101 years old so it is my theory that my walkin closet was perhaps a baby nursery at one time. It was common practice to have a ajoining nursery to the parents bedroom. It is the size of a small childrens bedroom. .
We lived with friends in an old Boston brownstone with that set-up. My boyfriend (now husband) had a pretty good job and had the "master" bedroom. One of his more impoverished friends paid lower rent for the nursery, which had a ceiling about twice as tall as the width of the room. Nice big sunny window though.
Only the first floor of my home has 11-12 ft high ceilings(that is why I place vases and or displays ontop the china hutches/armoirs, to blalance the height of the room( See my china hutch and other photos in my album on my profile page)) As for the windows in the nursery converted into a walkin closet, that is the case in my home as well. A row of windows facing the front of my house is what lines my closet. A salt & pepper colored countertop and white drawers are under the windows. There is a small balcony outside the windows but you would have to climb out the windows to get to it.lol
I would say that is certainly not the room of a hoarder...either that or you hide things exceedingly well. Pocket-sized black hole or bag of holding perhaps?
lol..it's just me here, so lots of extra space. I clean house for a very nice man and when I ran away from home, he sold me this house. When he offered it to me at a WONDERFUL price, I accepted! =D
Your room looks lovely!
Thank you, Kyth. =)
The "J" is from my Christmas "JOY" lol

X-Men Forever: Volume 1 arrived a few days ago. It's not stellar, and I'm not believing for a minute this is what Claremont had in mind 19 years ago, but it was entertaining and would've seemed to be more decently written if it weren't by Claremont (who, no matter how mediocre he's gotten on other books, still is compared to his classic run on Uncanny X-Men). Even if it's essentially a What If?, it's the best new Marvel Universe comic I've read since, well, at least Morrison's run on New X-Men. That's pretty sad, but it's enough that I'll probably read at least another volume or two before making a final decision as to whether to continue or not. It's just good enough that, without any major letdowns, I'm leaning toward "yes," but I'm far less excited about it than I am about IDW's GIJoe line or any of a number of older comics I've been reading.
That's my jacket!

Yet more jobs for robotsPosted Wednesday, March 21, 2012, at 8:31 AM
There are times when politicians really should put their money where their mouths are.
Having just gotten done with the Republican caucuses, and with the Democratic caucuses and primary election all falling within the next six weeks, area citizens have been flooded with campaign robo-message phone calls. Notice how clever it was of the politicians to exclude political campaigning from the no-call list. So we're in the middle of enjoying two months of phone calls just around supper time with robotic messages repeating the same message they said the last 10 times they called.
Now, many of these politicians are promising that if they're elected they'll get the economy turned around and everyone will have a job.
Wouldn't it be nice if, rather than hiring some computer (which may be located anywhere in the world) to tell us what a great job they'd do getting American back to work, that they'd actually hire an American to make the calls.
At least that way, we'd have a human being to yell at for interrupting our meals and someone we could tell up front to quit calling.

Kelly, I have been involved in some intensive study of our nations, and the world's economic situation and possible solutions. One of the best books I have read concerning the need for and creation of jobs with to respect to the current economic conditions is by Jim Clifton, "The Coming Jobs War". In which Mr. Clifton states "If America is to be fixed quickly, it needs a minimum of 5,000,000 new good jobs right now and a minimum of 10,000,000 new good jobs, net gained, within five years. Those jobs can't be government provided "shovel-ready" jobs because they have to be sustainable jobs created organically from the spirit of people thorough entrepreneurship and innovation". It then is my personal opinion that we should only elect officials, local, state and national, whose focus is to provide a market climate that generates and encourages businesses to grow and expand or create new businesses through entrepreneurship and innovation that can and will create the afore mentioned sustainable jobs. If our elected officials are unable to do that, then we need to hold them accountable and not re-elect them.
I appreciate your thoughts.

Buffalo Field Office
|Release Date: 02/04/13
Public Comments Requested for Proposed Sale of Public Lands in Sheridan County
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Buffalo Field Office is requesting input on a proposed non-competitive (direct) sale of public land in Sheridan County, Wyo. under the authority of Section 203 FLPMA, (90 Stat. 2750, 43 U.S.C. 1713). The BLM published a notice of realty action in the Federal Register on Feb. 4, 2013, which opens a 45-day public comment period.
The BLM is considering a direct sale of eight parcels of public land totaling 208.12 acres in Sheridan County, Wyo., at no less than the appraised fair market value to Farmland Reserve, Inc. Farmland Reserve, Inc. submitted a proposal to the BLM in October 2011 expressing interest in purchasing 208.12 acres of public land in Sheridan County. Due to the ownership pattern these parcels are difficult for BLM to manage and there is no legal access. The lands would continue to be used for ranching operations. The proposal is in conformance with the BLM Buffalo Resource Management Plan (RMP) approved on October 4, 1985, and these parcels are identified for disposal in the RMP Record of Decision.
An environmental assessment (EA) is being prepared to analyze the proposed land sale. Mail or deliver written comments to: Field Manager, Buffalo Field Office, 1425 Fort Street, Buffalo, WY 82834. Comments can also be e-mailed to email@example.com with "Sheridan County Land Sale" in the subject line. Comments will be accepted until March 21, 2013.
The Federal Register Notice is located at: www.blm.gov//wy/en/info/NEPA/documents/bfo/sheridan.html
For more information, contact BLM Realty Specialist Claire Oliverius at 307-684-1178.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.

Non-Sexual Kissing
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2003
This year the Footlights celebrate 120 years of comedy with a new exciting and fresh show Non-Sexual Kissing
Original Review:
The Cambridge Footlights have produced another exquisitely crafted comedy of quirky discomfort, beautifully performed and boasting a wealth of wry, left-field comments guaranteed to amuse.
Structured as a series of playlets all taking place in the same block of flats, the show shuffles back and forth between the parallel stories, keeping the pace moving briskly along.
Among others, we have the wife leaving her touchingly naive husband, the friends waiting to spring a surprise party, the mischievous kids on the roof and the old man visited by a series of possibly well-meaning carers. The characters are all brilliantly realised and weave easily in and out of each storyline.
But the format prevents the show taking off into full-blown hilarity. And while there are great lines, none of the people we meet are groteque enough to really raise the laughter in the same way, say, David Brent does in the similarly underplayed Office.
The closest, perhaps, is the know-it-all party guest, who has to be the centre of attention no matter what. His scenes are the closest to really taking off, to making that leap from smiling respect to laugh-out-loud funny.
The other characters have a litany of defects, from the gloriously self-deluded karaoke singer to the returning traveller who shrugs a "thanks" of acknowledgment to any comment, irregardless of its intent.
No one could leave this show unimpressed with the talent on display, and there is no sign of the self-satisfied smugness that has been known to pervade previous Footlights shows.
Instead, the team seduce the audience into their consistent, self-contained world that allows the laughs to emerge naturally from the utterly believable characters. The show ends on a disconcertingly flat note, but that's a rare lapse for the otherwise surefooted team.

Brilliantly talented actors, well written, saw this in Edinburgh and thoroughly enjoyed the performance. I am sure will will here more of these actors.
Jackie - 14/07/2003
A very funny show, saw it in Cambridge. Go and laugh all night. A great new talent for comedy writing and great new songs
Sam Liddicott - 07/07/2003
A brilliant hour of comedy. Footlights get a lot of (undeserved) critisism and stick, but this year is as fresh and funny as ever, with great sketches and performance.

Since 12-year-old RJ Brandt brought a human skull to school, we've been talking to people who know him to try to find out where he got the skull and whose it was.
Last week, we talked again with RJ's mother, Heather, and we also spoke to RJ's closest friend, 15-year-old Tristan Lowell.
In this update, we interviewed RJ's uncle, Andy Brandt, who's an ex-con and who has lived with his brother Ronny's family on and off since he relocated to Oxford a few years ago.
What's this investigation all about?
Check out the new case summary video to find out.

We're also going to try to have another conversation with RJ. We're hoping he'll be a little more forthcoming about where he got the skull and what he knows about where it came from.
Do you think RJ knows more about that skull than he's told us or anyone else so far? Take a look at the case documents and let us know your thoughts.
All the best,

Skip to comments.Afghanistan: Taliban Kill Six Americans (Including US Diplomat)
Posted on 04/07/2013 9:52:05 AM PDT by Red Steel
A young diplomat is among the dead after a Taliban suicide car bombing branded "despicable" by US Secretary of State John Kerry.
Taliban militants have killed six Americans, including a young female diplomat, in the deadliest day in Afghanistan for the US in eight months.
Three members of the military, two US civilians and an Afghan doctor died after being hit by an explosion while travelling to donate books to a school in the south.
In a statement, Secretary of State John Kerry paid tribute to Anne Smedinghoff, a 25-year-old foreign service officer with the US State Department, who was killed in the "despicable attack" in the province of Zabul.
Officials said the suicide car bomber struck just as a coalition convoy drove past a caravan of vehicles carrying the governor of Zabul to the same event.
Another American civilian was killed in a separate insurgent attack in eastern Afghanistan, the US military said in a statement.
It was the deadliest day for Americans since August 16 2012, when seven American service members were killed in two attacks in Kandahar province, the birthplace of the Taliban insurgency.

It is sad that people are being sacrificed for ??????????.
John Kerry is demanding a full investigation. (says nothing about Benghazi)
Time to leave. No more American blood in Afghanistan for "democracy", women's liberation, "gay marriage" or any other liberal blessings that we're foisting upon the world.
Here's a little something for John Kerry...
And it's one, two, three,
What are we fighting for ?
Don't ask me, I don't give a damn,
Next stop is Afghanistan;
And it's five, six, seven,
Open up the pearly gates,
Well there ain't no time to wonder why,
Whoopee! we're all gonna die.
Uh oh. Guess Obama's gonna have to search for another anti-Mohammed video someone made. You know, to place blame...
I'd say that's really the problem right there. "Be all that you can be" ... "an army of one" ... "the few, the proud, the armed Peace Corps."
This young diplomat was good-looking. I just hope the Islamic Terrorists did not take their usual liberties with women like they usually do
The Sec. of States keep getting worse and worse.
"Three members of the military, two US civilians and an Afghan doctor died after being hit by an explosion while travelling to donate books to a school in the south."
What in God's name are we even doing there anymore?
Risking lives to deliver BOOKS!
Enough of this kumbaya BS.
Shouldn't this be in Breaking? No dead Ambassadors in 30 years and now 2 in a little over 6 months?
This is a State Dept?
In interview with Newsweek/Daily Beast, Vice President Biden asserted that the Taliban per se is not our enemy.
So then what? they are our friends, as they say with friends like these... What happened to pull our troops out and send them home, close Gitmo, etc.,etc. This administration rather than being the most transparent is the most inept and anti America ever. And considering Carter that is some accomplishment!
"What difference does it make???!!!"
Everyone in the world knows that Obama is a giant baby boy- playing golf and running after his male lovers.
We are so screwed.
The front doors are wide open and obama is contemplating his naval.
You didn't really think that we were going to get someone with a brain and a spine did you??? The only country that this current administration can get tough with is ISRAEL. Anyone else they all have a linguine spine with common sense totally absent. I have heard some people remark, "Oh, it would have been different with Hillary." The only difference between Hillary and B. O. is that Hillary hides it better.
Never bring a book to a gunfight.
What were the qualifications of 25 year old diplomat? sounds to odd to be true, other than her first assignment. probably had her masters degree and 2 years foreign service.
Chicago Sun Times
chicago native (River Grove suburb) father is an attorney
graduate of John Hopkins University - International Studies
Served in Carcas, Venezuela - started in Kabul Afghanistan in July 2012 worked in the press corps - in a convoy to deliver books to an all girls school.
being a chicago native, father being an attorney (AKA campaign donor)
Or, as Hillary would say, "what difference does it make?" Or as Obama would say, "it wasn't optimal". And somehow, this has to be the fault of the US Navy.
Thanks Red Steel.
American Action Hero Kerry's powerful response to his own failure is marvelous.
This should never have happened, Mr. Secretary, and would NOT have happened if you were anything but an impotent, mouthy dweeb.
Seems to be open season on US diplomats lately.
John Kerry is demanding a full investigation. (says nothing about Benghazi)
And the complacent media will not call him on it, or savage the Obama administration the way they would Bush if any of this happened on his watch.
Shouldnt this be in Breaking? No dead Ambassadors in 30 years and now 2 in a little over 6 months?
This is a State Dept?
Well stated.
We are truly on our own.
Did our military deliver books during WWII?
Of course not. Their goal through their slave masters on the big plantation is to destroy America as it is. Hillary is the same as Obama. They only chose Obama because he appears black which is anyones guess. The elections are usually rigged. I hate it when one of these politicians thinks it's their turn. That is not an election. I am tired of people like Bill Gates who through their disturbing and sick egos spend their money or use their power to hurt people rather than help. They are not God; and I imagine in their ends they will be silently or out loud praying to God for his forgiveness. I am sick of politicians who steal taxpayer money to line their pockets and that of their friends by doing nothing at all or lying.
Not meaning to sound heartless, but "diplomat?"
A 26-yr old female employee of the DoS is not a diplomat.
She is a staffer, a DoS career employee.

Six communities from Berkshire County have joined forces against General Electric. The group seeks compensation from the company for collateral damages expected from the next round of PCB cleanup of the Housatonic River.
Pittsfield, Lenox, Lee, Stockbridge, Great Barrington and Sheffield want to make sure they get money for any negative impacts if and when GE's cleanup of the Housatonic resumes.
Nat Karns is the executive director of the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission, which is working with the six communities to negotiate with GE.
"In a nutshell, they will be asking for compensation for the economic damages they expect that they will be incurring due to the very extensive cleanup of the PCBs from the river," Karns says.
Karns says a consultant from the EPA calculated the economic impact at approximately $250 million. The communities think the estimate is likely double that.
Karns says the cleanup process could hurt tourism, traffic and residential property values.
The Berkshire communities are each expected to contribute $10,000 to pay a law firm to represent them in negotiations with GE.
Five communities have already voted to join the coalition. Pittsfield's city council will vote on its contribution tonight. GE did not immediately comment on this story.
This story was written and reported by Brianda Reyes.

A popup on lab computers alerts you to the cost to LETU of each print job and displays the total pages of that print job.
These "FYI" alerts are designed to increase awareness of printing in the labs and encourage good printing etiquette.
Q: Is my student account charged for this new initiative?
A: Students are not charged any additional in their tuition/fees to cover this stewardship initiative; students' existing lab fees already include lab printing costs.
Q: Why display cost at all? Show me only my usage in pages!
A: We did not implement a page based system since not all printers or pages are created equal. A gray-scale, duplex-printed A4 size sheet of paper may result in less credit being used than a single-sided, color tabloid size sheet. Some printers also use toner and other consumables more efficiently. All these factors have been considered and each printer on campus has had a cost per page determined from any number of those variables. Keep these factors in mind to help make wise resource decisions.
Did you know?
As part of this initiative, LETU professors brainstormed on how to reduce physical printing requirements that were previously part of their courses. Your help both reduces environmental impact and encourages appropriate adoption of technology in course curriculum. Now that's ingenuity!
Winners keep score
To see your print jobs' environmental impact, logon to http://printing.letu.edu
You can now submit print jobs over the web to print to Open Access Lab printers across campus. Here's how:
- Logon to http://printing.letu.edu
- Select "Web Print" from the navbar
- Click "Submit a Job"
- Click the printer icon on whichever building houses the printer to which you'd like to send the job
- Now select the printer to which you'd like to send the print job
- Select your number of copies and click "Upload Document"
- Browse for your document and click "Upload and Complete"
For now, you can only upload PDF documents. Most Office documents and other files can easily be saved as PDF files or converted using software such as BullzipPDF or CutePDF writer, both freely available.
LETU's print auditing system has an iOS app that allows you to look at your printing statistics from an iPhone/iPad. Here's how to use it for the first time:
- From your Apple iOS device, go to http://printing.letu.edu:9191/ios/install
- Follow the prompts to install the Profile. Afterwards, a PaperCut Printing app should be available on the home screen
- Launch the app and view your print history from your iPad/iPhone
Printing from an iOS device would normally be accomplished by following the Web Printing method as listed in the above section. However, iOS devices only allow you to access your photo roll from the file picker and Web Printing only works with PDF files, meaning it's not currently possible to remotely print from an iOS device. This does works fine from other mobile devices like Windows RT, Windows Phone 8, and Android.

"Well I ordered these boots for my 3 year old they are adorable but they cause my daughter to slip and slide. There isn't much on the bottom for grip. Other then that the boots are awesome and so CUTE the picture doesn't do them justice."

"This boot is very cheaply made. The sole is the equivalent of a summer flip-flop, and the boot itself feels as though it will tear holes in the toes quickly. We promptly returned them after receiving them."
