Skip to comments.Obama to lay out go-it-alone approach in big speech (Announcement of his coup-d'etat)
Posted on 01/28/2014 2:10:48 AM PST by markomalley
President Barack Obama will lay out a strategy for getting around a divided Congress and boosting middle-class prosperity on Tuesday in a State of the Union speech that reflects some scaled-back legislative ambitions after a difficult year.
Obama will make clear in his 9 p.m. EST address that he is willing to bypass U.S. lawmakers and go it alone in some areas by announcing a series of executive actions that do not require congressional approval.
White House officials said Obama will announce new executive actions on retirement security and job training to help middle-class workers expand economic opportunity.
"In this year of action, the president will seek out as many opportunities as possible to work with Congress in a bipartisan way. But when American jobs and livelihoods depend on getting something done, he will not wait for Congress," Obama senior adviser Dan Pfeiffer said in an email to supporters sketching out the themes of the speech.
With three years left in office, Obama has effectively reduced for now his ambitions for grand legislative actions.

Though I can't stomach hearing this Mussolini wannabe's voice, watching to see which Repubicans give him an ovation when he makes this statement may be worth it.
Just may have to take some Phenergan before the speech.
just watch who applauds wildly when the president of the USA announces his intent to subvert the will of the people by replacing their elected representatives at all levels, with a pen and a phone
Article V before it is too late.
Don't watch it live. They are hoping to draw a large audience and tout the ratings as a sign of 0bama's popularity and his support by the American people.
If the Repubs aren't sitting their hands or booing I'll be pissed.
Dear Leader is officially a Tyrant.
Every Democrat congressman who sits and claps like a trained seal for Obama's blatantly un-American dictatorial power-grab should be voted out of office in the fall. They shouldn't get to flush the Constitution that Americans, much better than they, have fought and died to preserve since the first American Revolution.
Republicans ought to either not attend or walk out of the SOTU the moment Obama says he'll usurp their legislative powers.
There ought to be consequences for a president advocating criminal activities.
I was informed that "policy disputes" did not rise to the level of impeachment.
Southerland will hold a local town meeting this coming weekend. Absent a change in his attitude, I just may sit out the mid-term election. Why bother to vote if all power is in the hands of El Presidente?
Correct. Just follow the live thread here at FR.
Hussein will stand in front of the House and Senate and tell both to shove it. All drama Obama.
If The One makes dictator talk, Pubs should walk out. But they won't.
If the dais is not stormed and this little tyrant is not dragged out from behind the lectern and imprisoned to await his trial... well... I would hardly be shocked.
I have an acquaintance that is in the Secret Service... used to actually be on the Hillary detail. I worry about his safety.
"I just may sit out the mid-term election."
May I remind you that many Freepers here did the same thing and got Barry elected a second term?
The Bamster will remain in office regardless.
I agree, but you don't have to be like many here on FR that are proud to tell you that "Romney is just as bad".
I was planning on that. I will also go to Mark Levin on line and listen. He usually does a mystery science threater 3000 style running commentary for the SOTU.
The Clown's numbers indicate he is not popular with the masses....His announcement that he wants to rule by dictate will only hurt him and his party (read "Hitlery") in the long (and short) run.
He is doing this because his ideology is failing....He counted on the economy being better no matter how much he plundered from the private sector. That isn't happening, Americans KNOW he is failing, and he refuses to acknowledge the truth.
His grasps for fascist leader-like power is desperation. Heck, did you see that poll on Obamacare? 30%.of DEMOCRATS in that poll want it repealed.
Boehner and McConnell are complicit enablers. Every day they fail to confront the would be dictator, they strengthen Obama until we reach the day when he can no longer be limited at all.
Sorry, but there just aren't enough FReepers to accomplish something like that.
There are too few real conservatives in government anymore. Mainly because the establishment tends to weed them out, and by nature those who seek power over others tend to be establismentarians. But I think always the choice should be the lessor of two evils, because inaction is often the worst of choices. Thomas Paine called government itself a choice of lesser evils.
There are many here that are proud enough to remind everyone of it, regardless of the numbers.
If he spend a dime without Congress' approval, he MUST be impeached.
Congress must impeach the tyrant before he becomes so powerful that he will not be possible to stop.
We must get out of the two-party, voting is everything mindset. National elections have taken on the attributes of mere sporting events, who is on offense/defense, celebrities, who will make next year's player draft, etc. Meanwhile, what is left of our republic suffers.
While I many sit out the midterm election, I doubt I could sit out the presidential election, despite the increasing irrelevancy of elections.
Einstein had a term for expecting different results to emerge from doing the same thing. Restoration of our republic and freedoms cannot emerge from DC.
If we are to restore freedom, our only hope is to reduce focus on national elections and direct more efforts toward our states.
Until an Article V state amendment convention restores federalism and returns far more power to the states, we are doomed to a dictatorship.
I read through dozens of comments counting the pro/anti Obama comments. They were overwhelmingly anti-Obama. Don't know if that's the venue or not. I stopped when I realized most of the pro-Obama notes were by one author, Aaron.
Oops. I meant to ping you to #27.
I can't disagree with anything you say. To get some real "change"(I hate that term), we need to get the half of the country off of entitlements. That is what is killing us.
The imposition of Obamacare has changed everything, and Obama's narcissism doesn't allow him to see what's happened.
He is no longer trusted by the American people.
He is no longer seen in the same light as he was one year ago. Barack Obama no longer has gravitas with his own party. Because of Obamacare, none of them can even campaign with him.
This makes tonight's speech different. I think he will be making a big mistake to use the words "pen" and "phone" tonight. Whether Republicans turn their backs, or walk out makes no difference. Pay attention to the Democrats.
He's killing the party. Do they see it or not?
The undocumented Indonesian Tyrant by Fraud SPEAKS.
The undocumented Indonesian Tyrant by Fraud SPEAKS.
"Hes killing the party. Do they see it or not?"
Obama and his minions don't care if they kill the Democrat party. "Organizing For Action" was not founded to benefit the Democrat party, it exists only to push Obama's agenda. That's what I find most frightening about this situation. As mis-guided as Bill Clinton might have been, at the end of the day he was a party guy and would mold his positions for the good of the party.
I hope someone stands up and yells "We're not going to have it!"
We've got to fix the Executive Order issue big time. He's abusing the crap out of it.
If I want to watch some amateur liars, I'll watch Cheaters. But if I want to watch the pros I know to tune in whenever his majesty is in front of the teleprompter.
Obama is Law-Less because Republicans are BALL-LESS!!
And John Boehner cries.
Not voting is how we got the DICKTATOR AGAIN!! Purists are not lifting a hand to stop the DESTRUCTION and TAKEOVER of America......THANKS, Purists.
Sarah Palin would be my first choice.
Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-05) will deliver the Republican Address to the Nation. She will show the nation the Republicans have no war on women, which will be the siren call by the Hildebeast when she runs for President. Rodgers will be fantastic.
I will take the time to practice folding fitted sheets.
He is in a state of delusion.
Palin-the McCain lover?
I wonder if these purists are not infiltrators meant to divide and conquer the Republicans. If they are infiltrators, they are Communists. Communists work day and night to put forth their diabolical plots.
If you are anti-abortion, that is considered to be a 'war on women'!

The leader of the Douglas County Republicans said the party's involvement in school board elections helps ensure Republican principles are upheld locally.
Colorado state statutes prohibit a school board candidate from running "as a candidate of any political party," but that doesn't prevent the local Republicans from endorsing board candidates — a practice they began in 2009 and are continuing with the November 2013 election.
Through early August, members of a Douglas County Republicans' interview committee will meet with board candidates who want the party's endorsement — regardless of the candidate's political affiliation. The executive committee will vote on endorsements for the four open seats in mid-August. Their choices will be based on those candidates "most likely to support the principles of the Republican Party," local party chairman Craig Steiner said.
The Douglas County Republicans endorsed the seven current board members in the 2009 and 2011 elections.
Steiner said the endorsements are critical because a school board candidate's party affiliation is not indicated on a ballot. That was problematic in traditionally conservative Douglas County.
"We could have 10 Republicans and 10 Democrats and there's no indication of their party affiliation," Steiner said during a July 26 breakfast in Castle Rock. "That makes it very hard for voters to know who to vote for. In Douglas County, when the voters know, Republicans pull anywhere from 60 to 75 percent of the vote. It's clear that being a Republican and being supported by the Republican Party is something voters value."
Involvement in school board elections also is part of a broader Republican strategy.
"This is where it starts — at the local level," Steiner said. "We can complain about what's going on in Washington, but our sphere of influence is Douglas County. As long as all of our county parties are doing these things, we're going to start seeing good results at the grassroots county level and going up from there."
Conversely, the Douglas County Democrats have no strategy for the school board election.
"We don't take the same approach because it's nonpartisan," chairman Mike Jones said. "We believe in public education. If people ask us, we tell them to vote for those who support public education. But there's no big strategy."
Colorado Association of School Boards deputy executive director Jane Urschel said in an August 2012 interview that the association views service on a school board as "the highest level of service," one that historically rose above party politics.
"Those who were elected would focus on what constitutes the best education of the children of those communities, and they would not be torn by politics or having to vote the way a party wants them to," she said.
Steiner sees no conflict between political party affiliation and the ability to objectively serve the needs of DCSD's students.
"The position of the Republican Party is that we have principles that apply equally to education, and we believe our principles are in the best interest of the child.
"Whether it's a group of people that call themselves Republican, Democrats or teachers unions, we're all just members of the community with different views of the best ways to help the students. We all hope we're doing this for the right reasons."
At least one candidate, Republican Kevin Leung, rejected the opportunity for an interview with the Douglas County Republicans.
"I will not solicit or accept any endorsement from a political party or organized labor because I believe it is unethical to do so," Leung said. "I am running to represent the people of Douglas County, not special interest groups in this nonpartisan election."
Leung ran unsuccessfully for a seat in 2009 and is among several plaintiffs in a lawsuit aimed at stopping the Douglas County School District's voucher program.

People with schizophrenia may have perceptions of reality that are strikingly different from the reality seen and shared by others around them. Living in a world distorted by hallucinations and delusions, people with this condition may feel frightened, angry, anxious, depressed, or confused.
Symptoms of schizophrenia usually start in adolescence or early adulthood. They often appear slowly and become more pronounced, disturbing, and bizarre over time. The first signs of schizophrenia often appear as confusing—or even shocking—changes in behavior. To fit the diagnostic criteria, symptoms of the illness must be present for at least 6 months, and there must be deterioration from the patient's previous level of functioning.
The sudden onset of severe psychotic symptoms is referred to as an acute phase of schizophrenia. Psychosis, a common condition in schizophrenia, is a state of mental impairment marked by hallucinations. Less obvious symptoms (such as social isolation and/or withdrawal, unusual speech, bizarre thinking, or strange behavior) may precede, coincide, or follow the psychotic symptoms.
People with schizophrenia may behave differently at unpredictable times. This unusual behavior usually occurs as a result of the unusual realities they are experiencing. People with this condition may seem distant, detached, or preoccupied. They may be very restless and/or hypervigilant and unable to sit or stand still, or sit as rigidly as a stone (catatonia) without moving or speaking for hours.
Common symptoms of schizophrenia include:
Some people have only one psychotic episode. Others have many episodes during a lifetime, but lead relatively normal lives between these periods. A person with chronic schizophrenia, with a continuous or recurring pattern of illness, often does not fully recover normal functioning. This person typically requires long-term treatment, including medicine to control the symptoms.
People with schizophrenia do not always act abnormally. Indeed, some people with the illness can appear completely normal even while they experience hallucinations or delusions. A person's behavior may change over time—often becoming strange or bizarre if medication is stopped, then returning closer to normal when receiving and complying with appropriate treatment.

Hounds suffer first loss
September 24, 2011
Freedom New Mexico
Juan Peralta knocked in a header off a corner kick in the second overtime Friday to lift Northeastern State past ENMU's men 2-1 in a battle of unbeaten teams.
The RiverHawks (5-0-1), former members of the Southwest Soccer Conference and Lone Star Conference with ENMU before moving on to the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association this year, handed the Greyhounds (4-1-1) their first loss and also became the first team in six matches to score more than one goal against ENMU.
The Hounds struck in the ninth minute when sophomore midfielder Andy Wilkinson scored on a pass from freshman midfielder Anthony Bardon, his second goal of the season.
The RiverHawks pulled even with about 10 minutes gone in the second half when Josue Garcia scored unassisted, dribbling through the right side of the ENMU box to beat freshman goalkeeper Matt Malak.
No. 8 ACU beats Zias — Abilene Christian scored twice in the final eight minutes and the eighth-ranked Wildcats pulled away for a 3-0 victory over Eastern New Mexico University in Lone Star Conference women's soccer on Friday at the ENMU pitch.
ACU (6-0-1, 2-0-1 LSC) broke through early in the second half when Andrea Carpenter converted her fifth goal of the season on a cross pass from the left side from Jacey Ferrara.
It stayed that way until Megan Turner took a cross pass from Ashley Craig and beat ENMU goalkeeper Sierra Cardenas to the right side of the net for her first goal of the season with just over 7 1/2 minutes remaining.
Ashley Holton added her second goal of the year on a shot from the top of the box with just under five minutes left.
The Wildcats outshot ENMU 21-6 overall, including 11-1 in shots on goal.

Ask my husband--sometimes I grumble and complain. Often more than I should. Often about petty stuff. But not today. Today I want to give thanks. I want to tell you that I enjoy washing dishes. I don't enjoy drying them. It goes back to my childhood when my sisters and I had to do the dishes. One would clean off the table, one would wash, and one would dry. The one who dried also had to put the dishes away. I liked washing the dishes. It was nice to look out the window and see the cows, the apple trees, Mom's flowers, etc. It was nice to be in the "middle" of things. It was nice to "chatter" with my sisters as we did those dishes. Even now, so many years later, I don't mind washing dishes. I rarely use our dishwasher. I usually leave the dishes to dry on their own, and put them away later. My mother always insisted that we offer to help wash the dishes after eating a meal at someone's home. It stuck. I still offer. I always mean it. So when I saw this poem over at Nurse Ratched's I just thought I would second her thoughts. Thank God for dirty dishes. (photo credit)
Happy Thanksgiving! Wishing you many dirty dishes.
"Thank God For Dirty Dishes"
Thank God for dirty dishes,
they have a tale to tell,
While others are going hungry,
we're eating very well.
Home, health, and happiness,
we shouldn't want to fuss,
With the stack of evidence,
God is good to us.

Just remember, as I found out the hard way, you've got to walk before you run. It's good to talk with you, big sister, but my girls -- two dogs, Faith and Esther are calling and I've got to see what they want. Have a great day! Hope to talk with you later!
Good! Don't ever give up! Not only do you have a zeal for this, but quitting now would just defeat what your dream! You don't want that. Take a long hot bath and just get out there and conquer! I can just picture you riding like never before! Everything coming back to you!
Whatever works for you! You can do it. Keep stretching and relaxing on your horse. You'll do fine!
Yes, you could. Can just imagine you popping up and down when you ride!
It will all be worth it in the end. Nothing worthwhile was ever easy! If that was the case, you'd be up and riding the minute you sat on the horse!
You are too funny, I wish I could ride again, I would have an advantage though, I have hardly any feeling in my b area!!!!!! So I would not be as sore. We are wanting to relocate to Idaho, how far from boise would you be??
It can really give you a work out. But what a feeling! It's been a long time and a horse did really let go when I was learning, but wow! what a feeling!

Marriage can be a real killer. One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, New York Times best seller Gillian Flynn, takes that statement to its darkest place in this unpausable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. The Chicago Tribune proclaimed that her work "draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction." Gone Girl's toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn.
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge.
Under mounting pressure from the police and the media - as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents - the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter - but is he really a killer?
As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn't do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?
With her razor-sharp writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.
©2012 Gillian Flynn (P)2012 Random House Audio
"Flynn masterfully lets this tale of a marriage gone toxically wrong gradually emerge through alternating accounts by Nick and Amy, both unreliable narrators in their own ways. The reader comes to discover their layers of deceit through a process similar to that at work in the imploding relationship. Compulsively readable, creepily unforgettable, this is a must read for any fan of bad girls and good writing." (Publishers Weekly)
"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one." - Jojen Reed. #ADanceWithDragons
"Demented, twisted, sick and I loved it!"
This book is twisted.... this book is sick... this book is demented.... this book is dark.... and for all these reasons I should be disgusted.... but above all of those, it was also indulgent, decadent, intricate, masterful, engaging, enthralling and simply... amazing.
Let's start with the writing itself... The writing was probably the worst part of the book BUT, that being said, the writing was actually done really well! The choice of words, sentence formation, the flow, it all was just seamless in nature, the building suspense, the tone… they were all great! I remember commenting to myself while going through this book that this was written really well. This lends to one of the book's most alluring traits... It allows you to be able to get absolutely and positively lost in it. When a book is easy to pass through like this, it's easy to see the time fly by.
Secondly you have the story... the story was (and I go back to my intro) twisted, sick, dark and demented. From the start of the book you know something is not right but not even I thought it would end up the way it did. The more you go into the story and the more you learn about Nick and Amy, the more you find yourself getting lost in the story. This book felt like such a guilty pleasure, that one night stand that you enjoyed supremely, that ice cream sundae you can't help but have even though you're on a diet, that extra slice of cake that you stole from your older sibling... It fells completely wrong and you know it is completely indulgent but it also feels oh so good. That was what this book represented... If you have even an inkling of a dark side and willing to go through a raw, uninhibited, honest and demented view of an atypical relationship then you would simply LOVE this book. If you are looking for a cookie-cutter/true love conquer all/marriage is wonderful/life is perfect story then run for the hills and don't even look twice on this book.
Thirdly, the narration... It is a toss up to me between the story and the narration as to which was better. I can't decide, every time I choose one of the two I see the merits of the other. I love multi-person narrated titles and when it is done well, I am prone to raving about it. The narrators here though were completely rave worthy. They are able to portray Amy and Nick through the various stages of the book with such precision.... you can feel the angst, anger, apathy, vengeance, brokenness, tension and the myriad of other emotions through their voices. Add the excellent writing to this and you honestly can do nothing but marvel...
I am so impressed by this book. I see why this is seen as one of the best books of 2012. It is so easy to lose yourself in this book it's not even funny.
ONE IMPORTANT THING: DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS BOOK IF YOU HAVE AN AVERSION TO SWEAR WORDS. Do not listen in the company of children. The book is ripe with swear words at all but there are a number of sudden outburst and moments of anger simply filled with rampant curse words.
Short, Simple, No Spoilers
"Amazing Amy"
I don't like thrillers, detective mysteries, or beach reads; hesitant to read/listen to this one. Delighted I did. This is a thriller with rich, flawed, complex characters and a surrounding mythology keeping you thinking and trying to figure out references long after you press pause. The author whisked me through the whole gamut of emotions and I swayed between sympathizing and detesting the characters equally at different parts in the book. The story is exciting from beginning to middle (where most books sag) to the end. Had no clue how this one would turn out and was surprised (nice change). Believe the hype and enjoy.
"Gone Goes in a Different Direction"
In Gone Girl a wife is missing. Having been immersed in so many mystery books and television plots you usually go with the strategy of who is the least likely suspect as a mystery unfolds. I used that strategy in the first part of this book as the author withholds vital information as to what is really going on. That made this a mildly interesting book and it would have remained that way if the book had ended on this plot point.
In the second part my prediction was confirmed but then something funny happened. The book went in a totally unanticipated direction. Now, I was hooked and totally absorbed. I could see possibly how this would end but did not care because this journey was getting so fascinating. Little did I know that there was going to be a couple more surprises in this richly entertaining mystery.
All of you jaded mystery readers and viewers are in for a treat with this book.
"'I Used to Love Her, But I Had to Kill Her' ???"
*This is a very tight story; I caution you to be selective with the reviews you read--it would be so easy to inadvertently let a spoiler slip.
GONE is a great, demented, jigsaw puzzle--each little piece an important detail in an intricately shaped plot. You think you can see what the picture will be...but, each newly placed piece changes everything in this sharp psychological/suspense/thriller (emphasis on the psycho). You think you are starting to put it all together...
You....know....nothing. You are on a turbulent twisting ride, observing a fractured poisonous marriage that makes War of the Roses look like a day with June and Ward Cleaver.
Amy and Nick's marriage seemed perfect; the gorgeous hunky golden boy meets the stunningly beautiful and wealthy "cool girl" (i.e. a size 2, loves beer and football, dirty jokes, burping, three-ways, believes in letting her man stay out all night with the boys--yeah sure, and there is a Big Foot). But once the money is...Gone, the powerful NY writers jobs are...Gone, the important social connections...Gone, the dream home...Gone, their facades start to...Go; you see that "just as paranoids sometimes have real enemies, each of them had, in each other, found a mate who fulfilled his or her darkest expectations about the possibilities of love."
The first portion of this book is first person narratives, journal entries, by both Nick and Amy, who reveal little by little who they really are, both by what they say, and by what's between the lines--then all hell breaks loose. Some reviewers have mentioned they thought the second portion wasn't as enjoyable. But that's where all the fun begins--where the elaborate series of malicious and important little clues start to unravel who these two really are, and their possible personality disorders. So hone up your detective skills, review the MMPI and DSM IV, and dig in. I can say no more, lest I spoil it for you!
Gillian Flynn is known for her ability to craft wonderfully contaminated and unlikeable characters, dark--very dark smart plots, and combine them with enough familiarity that the reader becomes totally engaged, and almost feels compelled to turn the page. Her previous novels were almost too dark for me, especially Dark Places, but her writing is so distinctive and witty, and her insight so dead-on, that after a breather and a dose of anything light and fun, I'd go back for more. That's what a good writer does for me. This book contains lots of hard language and sexual situations, enough to be a deal-breaker for some readers.The ending seems to be another issue for reviewers, but see how you feel about it...regardless, the journey is top notch, probably Flynn's best work to date.
"Beautifully done"
I tend to avoid pop culture as so much of it is derivative or poorly written, but this is one that stands out. It is a thoroughly enjoyable and fast paced page-turner of a mystery thriller and a lot of fun.
The rotating narrators is a technique that works perfectly. Hard to say too much without giving something away.
I liked the "voices" of the characters, especially Amy after the halfway point. I did have a couple of issues with the dialogue in the first part in regards to Nick, both from the author, and from the narrator, that didn't fit, but not worth going into here. If you're listening to this book you're here for exactly what it will give you and not for stylistic/literary crit, and there was nothing here so egregious that I couldn't overlook it and have fun with this.
Now and then you run across something that is done so well that it's tempting to call it an unrepeatable performance and genre changing, like Hunt for Red October, or the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and other standouts. Recommending this to many people.
Only caveat would be if you're put off by some explicit sexual moments and language.
I get what I want from Shakespeare, and I got what I wanted from Flynn. Not that this is a literary masterpiece, but it is standing rather tall on the thriller shelf.
It may be that Flynn is a far better writer than most of the pop mystery stuff that pours out daily and I may look at her others. Hard to beat this one though.
"It Doesn't Get Any More 'Noir' Than This"
This is an incredible book. WIthout the slightest bit of fantasy or hyperbole, the author shows the reader that the real demons are those inside of us. It's difficult to write about the unparalleled brilliance of this story arc, it's sidebars and underlayers, and the author's out-of-the-box imagining of the characters, without hugely spoiling. It's a bit techno-thriller, a bit relationship commentary, and there is a lot of narrative whiplash where the story takes a sharp turn and you're left with "well, I didn't see that one coming".
The author's writing style couldn't be more sophisticated and loaded with complex imagery and phraseology - I found myself writing down word-bytes that were just off-the-charts clever and overflowing with wit.
While it's possible to pick up an anti-elitist vibe, it's all done with humor and mastery. Then on the other hand, there's an anti "average" vibe, critiquing those whose middle of the road lives seem to the main character as achieving a degree of dullness that is beyond belief. It's a dual message, but it's navigated delicately by the author. Wealthy big city snobbery is mixed with a huge putdown of the predictable choices made by the affluent.
Both narrators picked the perfect tone for this reading.
It's a great listen, and I did not want it to end. And actually - in a way, it doesn't. The two main characters are caught in a trap of their own making.
Always moving. Always listening. Always learning. "After all this time?" "Always."
"That's the way to do it!"
When I was in high school, I caught a late night showing of Mike Nichol's 1966 film adaptation of Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" I knew nothing about the play or the film, but Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were starring. They'd had a tempestuous, headline-grabbing relationship that I was dimly aware of. It was a warm summer evening and I had nothing better to do, so I settled in to watch.
It wasn't long before I felt chilled and nearly sick. I remember quite clearly thinking, "What the hell am I watching?" as I watched George and Martha's folie de deux.
Several hours into the Audible version of Gillian Flynn's "Gone Girl", I thought, "What the hell am I listening to?" I live in California, and, like that long ago evening with Burton and Taylor, it was a warm day – but I was cold, and my mouth tasted metallic, as if I'd bitten down on a bit of foil in a piece of Wrigley's Spearmint Gum.
I knew something was wrong – terribly wrong – between Nick Dunne and his wife, Amy Elliott Dunne, but I didn't know what.
Flynn doesn't start to reveal what is wrong until halfway through the book. When she does, it's like starting to eat a beautiful Golden Delicious apple, and discovering rot underneath - and then a squirming mass of maggots.
Flynn's writing is compelling, detailed and evocative, and that makes the rotten core of the Dunne's marriage incredibly shocking. Some of the language in the book is jarringly vulgar. The thoughts that language expressed were true to the character that said them, and one of the first indications that character did not think like other people.
This is the first audio book I've listened to where a split male/female narration not only worked, it enhanced the story. Kirby Heybonne was a smug, arrogant Nick Dunne. Julia Whelan was Amy Dunne, beginning with cloying (and unchanging) naïveté of Becca Battoe's Anastasia Steele in E.L. James "Fifty Shades" series. Whelan's narration changed with her character, and so did Heybonne's.
This isn't a book for those lucky, cheerful, hopeful optimists who live by Facebook posts on the power of love. It's not a book for horror fans who safely relegate terror to demons summoned by a 'Book of the Dead', a la "Evil Dead" 2013. This book is for those who know that real people can be terrifying, and can do utterly horrible things. Those people are the people of Simon Baron-Cohen's "The Science of Evil: On Empathy and the Origins of Cruelty," 2011.
The Audible book is about 19 hours long, and it's a compelling way to pass a long drive. Sleep isn't possible when listening.
In case you are wondering, the title of the review is a line from "Gone Girl", quoting a line from a different source.
[If you found this review helpful, please let me know by pushing the helpful button!]
I love espionage, legal, and detective thrillers but listen to most genres. Very frequent reviews. No plot spoilers! Please excuse my typos!
"Gillian Flynn's brain is a very dark place!"
I read the Gone Girl when it was introduced and have seen the movie. I've also read Sharp Objects and Dark Places, Flynn's two prior novels. It seems common these days for people to say novels are like Gone Girl. If any psychological thriller is like Gone Girl or as good as Gone Girl, I have not read it.
Amy Dunne sets the standard for villains in psychological thrillers. Nick Dunne? Let's say that he did a poor job at choosing a spouse.

"Glad Gillian Flynn Has Broken Out!"
I've listened to all of Gillian Flynn's book and this was enjoyable and exciting. "Dark Places" is still my favorite of her books though and I'd rate that a full five stars.
Gone Girl was unique in the way the characters were revealed little by little in alternating chapters. On the surface we were introduced to a married couple who seem to be sharing the intimacies of their marries. As the book progresses it's apparent that something is wrong because the stories diverge in a way that makes it clear someone is not telling the truth. During the course of the book I could not tell who to believe, which built the drama and excitement as I tried to figure out the puzzle.
I enjoyed having separate voices, which allowed for very distinct characters to emerge.
I could not wait to get back to this as the story raced to an impending drama. Flynn kept me constantly surprised as she dosed out the real story a little at a time. One of the most exciting listens I've had for awhile.
Any Gillian Flynn is worth a listen because of her innovative plots and interesting characters. Definitely one of my favorite writers and I'm glad she's finally broken out of the pack with a bestseller!
Addicted to Audible!
"Sick and Sicker"
I was intrigued by the reviews of this book and with all the hype I found myself wondering throughout the first half what the fuss was about. It seemed a little boring. The second half made up for the slow beginning, in fact I almost wanted to go back and listen to the first part again to see what I may have missed. My advice is to pay attention to the beginning and it will evolve. It was the perfect twisted story of two twisted people that truly deserved each other. It certainly keep me listening to see what bizarre thing would happen next. The narrators were excellent. Definately a case of sick and sicker!!!

clean room nothing to complain but very disappointed with the location, it was not as calm and serene on the ad. We found that it was quite untrue. By cons we wanted to park our car for free, this was the case, it must be by bus 30 minutes to the center by car but is fast and the evening is free parking in the center. ABilan very mixed.
chambre propre rien à redire mais très déçus par l'emplacement, ce n'était pas du tout calme et serein comme sur l'annonce. Nous avons trouvé que c'était assez mensonger. Par contre nous souhaitions pouvoir garer notre voiture gratuitement, c'était le cas, en bus il faut bien 30 minutes pour être dans le centre mais en voiture c'est rapide et le soir le stationnement est gratuit dans le centre. ABilan très mitigé.

Very nice contact, clean, tidy rooms. The house is somewhat hard to find and is located half an hour from the city center, but there are close to a bus stop. A major benefit is the air conditioning in the room and its own fridge.
Sehr netter Kontakt, sauberes, gepflegtes Zimmer. Das Haus ist etwas schwer zu finden und liegt eine gute halbe Stunde vom Zentrum entfernt, es gibt aber in der Nähe eine Busstation. Ein großer Vorteil ist die Klimaanlage im Zimmer sowie ein eigener Kühlschrank.

Got my car fixed quick and efficiently. Very good service and a great guy!
Paul has a vast knowledge regarding Mercedes as a brand. He was able to give me an understanding into what are the parts that needed changing on my car. Would recommend!
Excellent service and knowledge of the car. Highly recommended
Great informative technician, will use again
The mechanic returned call promptly and arrived late on a sunday night. He could not be sure of exactly what was wrong, and said he would have to go step by step on the suspension. He also looked around the engine and come up with three other problems. He said he would get back to me with a quote and asked for his £80 in cash. He told me he only took cash. He did tell me he was very sucessful and had spent £1.4m on a wonderful house near peterborough and used expletives to describe certain staff at the locla mercedes dealer. Next day I got a text saying he had been taken in to hospital and would be in touch later. I did not get a firm diagnostic of the problem but he suggested the parts fiited by local guy a few weeks before were not OEM and might need replacing. I was left feeling I had been heavily sold to.
One star because you did not write the report I asked and you don't respond to my messages.
Samet has been very professional and has fixed the problem very quickly and at the right price. Will use his services again. Thanks
cost more than written and end up buying extra parts which we didnt needed!
Did everything that was asked, no problems.
Did an excellent job, Lukasz is very creative as a mechanic and I would happily use him again.
Never come back to me after taking £49.
Fantastic! The guys from yourmobilegarage were brilliant! Arrived at a convenient time, completed the job efficiently and I have had no problems in almost a year. Fabulous value and great service- delighted!

By JASON BAILEYSun Advocate/Progress Webmaster
By now, most PC owners have some edition of Windows XP on their computers. Most home users likely have the scaled down "Home" edition, and a few will have the "Professional" edition. In either case, PC owners should be aware that Microsoft has made some changes in policy to their Windows XP line of products.
Beginning last fall, on October 10, 2006, Microsoft announced the discontinuation of support for Windows XP and Windows SP Service Pack 1 (SP1). PC owners will need to ensure they have Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed to continue to receive new bug fixes, the latest security updates and other types of support from Microsoft.
On Microsoft's home page, they state, "On October 10, 2006, Microsoft will end all public assisted support for Windows XP Service Pack1 (SP1). After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide any incident support options or security updates for this retired service pack under the policies defined by the Microsoft Support Lifecycle policy. To enhance the security of your computer and to continue to receive updates for Windows XP, we recommend you upgrade your computer, for free, to Windows XP Service Pack 2."
A service pack is simply a major software product update. It typically contains various bug fixes, updates for known security vulnerabilities, and at times, new features. It can be viewed as a big "all-in-one" product update.
Consumers with broadband Internet connections like DSL or cable probably already have Service Pack 2 installed, as Microsoft's built-in Windows Update feature should have already downloaded and installed it.
Those without Internet access can order Service Pack 2 for Windows XP on CD, direct from Microsoft (requires a shipping and handling fee). Unfortunately, this requires access to a PC that does have Internet access. The CD can be ordered from this web address.
Another option for consumers lacking Internet access is to have a friend or neighbor download the Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) "Network Installation Package" and burn it to a CD or DVD, or copy it a portable USB drive. The Network Installation Package is essentially a large program (executable file), roughly two hundred and sixty megabytes (260 MB) in size, that contains all the updates inside of it. Because all of the updates and additions are self-contained within the program, no Internet connection is needed. Simply run the program from the CD or USB drive, and the installer will update your Windows XP computer to Service Pack 2.
The Network Installation Package can be downloaded from this address.
PC users can check their computer's version of Windows XP to see if Service Pack 2 has already been installed. From the desktop, click on the "Start" button. Find "My Computer" and right click it. Select "Properties." From the resulting dialog box, look at the "System" section. If Service Pack 2 has been installed, it will display "Service Pack 2" just above the "Registered to" line.
PC owners should be aware that Service Pack 2 upgrades and enables the built-in firewall, which blocks unauthorized, inbound communications. While this won't affect most home users, it may affect some users which utilize Microsoft file and printer sharing, some peer-to-peer applications (P2P), and some extended instant messaging features (web cams, etc). If needed, the built-in firewall can be disabled by double clicking the "Windows Firewall" icon in the control panel.

Xeňa Stanislavovna Semjonová
for Angel f.
I don't know it, the days the way they look.
a beautiful corpse, a young life being rained on from the inside hose we buried
k. feeling sorry for her,
her eyes speckles of black inside the green, or was it?
big orb of beauty,
my mallet charity, we walk.
and so I tell the story of the tambourine being weighted on by the heavy weight of weight.
we turned to walk, to walk n talk.
on the corner of the tall red mountaintop in the ashy innuendo of a heap of clay red,
your head rotates. you're a cymbal, better yet
a heavy weight
w big boppit eyes, inside the hose, the hose that suckled,
and the hose that roamed.
each cathedral has an incense, each hunted room the smell of old animals dry with oud
geraniums fingering the fragrant hull of the molten tulip, its carcass snuffed. is embalmed the inside of it, I huffed
promises unimaginable then I,
I lowered my sword.
your face is a beautiful video of feeling
in the corner, a cymbal
being rained on
from the inside hose, I saw
you body,
your body suffered,
in life I
you're enough.
Xeňa Stanislavovna Semjonová is a poet, artist, and a translator living in New York City. Originally from Slovakia, she has performed in venues such as Dixon Place, Bowery Poetry Club, The Poetry Project, RADAR, SPECTRUM NYC, Strange Maine, Happy Endings, GRRRLS on FILM, and others.

The residents of Huntington responded to the call for action to flush out cancer from their community. At least 14 residents of the Huntington/Lawrence area are fighting cancer at this time. Huntington residents saw a need to help these cancer victims with related medical expenses incurred in battling this disease.
Many activities were planned and some will take place later in the summer.
To start the fundraising efforts Cheryl Ungerman organized a Zumba-thon. The popular Latin dance exercise enthusiasts gathered at the Canyon View Junior High and danced the morning away.
The following Saturday morning began with a 5k run or walk. Activities continued throughout the day with a bake sale, yard sale, BBQ pork dinner and an auction. Many businesses and individuals donated items for the auction.
The Huntington Youth council lent their efforts to the cause by selling pizzas from BKs and doughnuts. In October a fundraiser golf tournament will be hosted at the Millsite Golf Course.
One of the event organizers RuthAnn Ekker said, "We really did good. The people who came out to support us were very generous. We will have bake sales throughout the summer and a golf tourney. A concert is being planned at the park pavilion by the school on July 16. We also hope to do something in conjunction with Heritage Days. A skeet shoot and a poker ride are also future events. We are so appreciative of everyone who came and helped and donated. The people were very generous in their donations of yard sale items. We really appreciate what's been done and hope to accomplish more for these people in need."

- MAY 30, 2001 - Commission approves Gateway Contra Costa Project.
- January 4, 2009 - Power plant on line and producing power.
On January 31, 2000, the Southern Energy Delta Limited Liability Company filed an Application for Certification (AFC) for the Gateway Contra Costa Power Plant Unit 8 Power Project (CCPP). The proposed CCPP Unit 8 Power Project will be a nominal 530 megawatt (MW), natural gas-fired, combined cycle, combustion turbine power plant located within the existing Gateway Contra Costa Power Plant site complex in Contra Costa County, just north of the City of Antioch.
The CCPP site is on Wilbur Avenue, one mile northeast of Antioch, on the southern shore of the San Joaquin River. Highway 4 and the Antioch Bridge are just east of the site. Immediately south and west of the site are existing industrial facilities. The river borders the north side, while a recreational marina, open space and additional industrial land uses occur east of the proposed project.
CCPP Unit 8's combined cycle power unit would consist of two natural gas-fired combustion turbine generators, two heat recovery steam generators (HRSGs), and a steam turbine generator. In the combined cycle process, electricity is created from the combustion turbines and the steam turbine. Natural gas is burned to fire the combustion turbines. Exhaust heat from the two combustion turbines is then used to generate steam in the HRSGs, which in turn drives the steam turbine electricity generator. The combined cycle process is considered to be "state of the art" in that it creates electricity more efficiently and creates less pollution than conventional power systems.
The natural gas fuel for Unit 8 would be supplied by the existing gas pipeline. Cooling water for Unit 8 would be supplied by re-use of the cooling water from the existing Units 6 and 7. According to the applicant's project description, no net increase in water withdrawal from the San Joaquin River is anticipated. Additional project facilities would include two 195-foot tall exhaust stacks on the heat recovery generators, a 10-cell water cooling tower, a turbine building, storage tanks, a control building, and electrical power transformers and transmission facilities to interconnect with the existing PG&E switchyard on the CCPP site complex. As described by the applicant, no additional electric transmission lines outside of the CCPP complex are needed to transmit Unit 8's electricity to the regional transmission grid.
Southern Energy Delta proposes to begin construction in early 2001, and start operation of CCPP Unit 8 by late 2002 or early 2003. The proposed project is estimated to cost between $250 and $300 million. During the 22-month construction period, approximately 285 construction workers would be employed. During operation, the CCPP Unit 8 would require 10 additional full time employees to the existing CCPP workforce of 53 employees.
CCPP Unit 8 would be operated as a merchant power facility, selling its energy via direct sales agreements and in the spot market via the California Power Exchange. Energy output and operational levels would vary according to demand in the deregulated California energy market. Electricity prices and operational levels would not be subject to California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regulation.

Energy Commission Facility Certification Process
The California Energy Commission is the lead agency (for licensing thermal power plants 50 megawatts and larger) under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has a certified regulatory program under CEQA. Under its certified program, the Energy Commission is exempt from having to prepare an environmental impact report. Its certified program, however, does require environmental analysis of the project, including an analysis of alternatives and mitigation measures to minimize any significant adverse effect the project may have on the environment.

New ICD-9-CM Codes Become Effective October 1, 2011
In recognition of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, each September, the AUA honors a Member of Congress for his or her efforts in the fight against prostate cancer.
This year, the AUA will recognize the work of Congresswoman Donna Christensen, MD (D-VI), a former physician and current chair of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) Health Brain Trust. During her time in Congress, she has sponsored the Prostate Research, Imaging, and Men's Education Act (PRIME) Act, which would improve the tools used to detect and treat prostate cancer, and resolutions recognizing that the occurrence of prostate cancer in African-American men has reached epidemic proportions.@blurbend
Representative Christensen will be recognized during a special reception at the Washington Renaissance Hotel in Washington, DC, on September 22, 2011. The reception, which will follow other AUA prostate cancer awareness activities held on Capitol Hill, will run from 6 to 8 p.m. We hope you can join us.

Google Abandons EHR Efforts
According to a recent article in Medical News Today, Google has abandoned its efforts to launch an electronic health record (EHR) platform known as Google Health.@blurbend After a pilot project with the Cleveland Clinic, Google executives stated that the project did not "scale as hoped." The growth in demand for EHR solutions was not as rapid as Google had anticipated, despite government interventions such as the Meaningful Use (MU) program designed to incentivize adoption of EHR products.
IPAs Assist in Small Group Adoption of EHRs
A recent study by the National Institute for Health Care Reform concluded that independent physician associations (IPAs) formed between 1980-90 to facilitate providers in small groups to accept risk-based capitation contracts can "provide a useful model to examine ways of supporting HIT [health information technology] activities in small practices." The networking and exchange of information are natural tendencies in an IPA setting, and the adoption and implementation of electronic records are supported by the same behavior patterns. Factors mentioned in the study include access to cheaper financing through IPAs, stronger physician leadership and mentoring to bolster the morale of smaller groups during the transition, and employing technical expertise that many small groups do not have. Based on the results of the study, small urology practices who may be considering banding together for purposes of accountable care or avoidance of acquisition by a local hospital should also consider the additional benefits from collaboration in the area of EHR adoption.
PQRS Reporting via EHR Continued for 2012
Based on the proposed 2012 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Rule released in early July 2011, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will continue to allow participants to report on Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) measures directly from a PQRS-qualified EHR product. To avoid possible confusion between two separate incentive programs, CMS takes great pains in the proposed rule to differentiate between an EHR system that is "certified" for the Meaningful Use (MU) incentive program and one that is "qualified" for reporting PQRS quality measures for a practice. The proposed rule states, "The certification process for EHR technology does not test the EHR product's ability to output a file that meets the Physician Quality Reporting System measures file specifications. We are currently exploring ways to further align these two programs' reporting requirements for future years so that certified EHR technology may be used to satisfy both the Medicare EHR Incentive Program and the Physician Quality Reporting System without any additional testing."
CMS went on to explain that when the 2012 list of qualified PQRS reporting EHR systems is released, the agency will attempt to add a notation about those systems that are also certified for MU. The CMS Web site currently contains the 2011 list of qualified PQRS reporting via EHR products.
PQRS reporting via EHR has been expanded beyond a direct data transmission from the provider's system to CMS to allow for certain vendors to report data extracted from an EHR on behalf of a provider. These vendors will be referred to as "EHR data submission vendors." Such vendors will have to submit a letter to CMS to become qualified and will have to sign a Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Business Associate agreement with any provider on whose behalf they act to submit this quality data.
This expansion is evidence that CMS is trying to eventually move the entire data reporting process toward a standardized data upload from a provider's electronic record keeping system.

help about feasibility both in technical terms and ease of manufacture.
just on/off and color (just for the final RGB board)
then "detach" the LEDs and use some sort of cable, solder that to the board and then connect the LED at the end of the cable?
About the colors, let's say: red, green, blue, orange, white and yellow
Would it be easier with just red, green, blue? How about one color
What would be the viewing distance and viewing angle or in other words would the LED panel be installed vertically ?What are the viewing environment be dark and indoors or outside in bright daylight ?

Customer Reviews
Comments: This s/b outfishes any other on the market period used them for years here at Lake Fork Texas. I always have one tied on in my boat spring time bass in timber and or grass crush this bait. I mainly use the 1/2 oz and you will need more than one because the fish tear them up so bad you cant get them to run right. Buy at least 3 you will thank me later. Best fork color is white&char with gold blades.
From: Bob: Dallas, TX 11/13/14
Comments: This is a must have spinnerbait in your tacklebox. I catch more fish on this spinnerbait than any of the others on the market. I believe this has a lot to do with blades and the light wire used on this lure which sets up a great vibration that fish find hard to resist. I have only used the white skirt with gold head and blades, and can only speak for this particular lure.
From: Stan: Columbus, GA 6/1/14
Comments: The BEST spinner bait on the market . I've caught big fish on this bait. The first time ever fishing with spinner baits.GREAT BAIT MUST HAVE!
From: Danilo: Miami, FL
Comments: Fished in a tournament on 10/20 on Kissimmee. My boater used the Gold Alewife combo caught fish hard for the first part of the day. There was a moderate breeze and it was overcast. Caught all 5 keeper fish on it, including a 8.8 lb monster. The lure held up to the task. Total weight 18.8. I also fished a chart/white spinner for 4 keepers, total weight 7lb, no kicker though.

Growing quality of life
"Since our kids attend school, they learn a lot. They are getting ready for doing great things in their lives."
Martine Boni Tia - Cocoa farmer and mom
One of the focuses of the Growing Great Chocolate™ program is to improve access to education and basic healthcare in cocoa farming communities in West Africa. There is often a shortage of adequate schools, qualified teachers, medical facilities and supplies, clean water and energy sources.
Callebaut®'s Growing Great Chocolate™ directly supports the corporate social responsible program Quality Cocoa for a Better Life. This program assists cooperatives to meet some of the basic health care needs of their farmer members. It sponsors and distributes mosquito nets throughout the year, co-organises the distribution of medical kits to cocoa farmers and sponsor vaccination campaigns in several cocoa growing communities.
As remote farming communities in West Africa often lack sufficient schools and qualified teachers, we understand the importance of schooling the children of cocoa farmers. The program supports the organisation of training activities and sensitisation activities to raise awareness among farmers and coop representatives about the issue of child labour.
The corporate social responsibility program that is directly supported by Callebaut®, inaugurated a new secondary school in 2009. With the support of other partners, the centere also developed into a community learning centre to benefit hundreds more of all ages. In 2010 two rural school construction projects were initiated, in close partnership with two cooperatives and the local authorities. The schools opened up in 2011 and 2012.
This is only the start. It is our long-term goal to support participating cooperatives in building primary schools in cocoa farming communities that don't have their own. Every professional who works with Callebaut®'s Finest Belgian Chocolate automatically supports this program and contributes to sustainable cocoa cultivation today and tomorrow.
"The program allows us to distribute mosquito nets and school kits among farmer families."
Claude Yapo Seka - Cacoa farmer and COOPAF former general secretary
