"The conservatives are such fools.
Obama, Soros and the MSM will always protect us."
Levin gets it....but the GOP doesn't...or they just don't care. I swear they're in bed with the communist takeover.
love it
the rinoz are not our only problem - its the noot pouters that refused to vote
And he still hasn't explained why he did this. "It was stupid" is not an explanation, regardless of how many times Hannity says it is.
Think of it as the dead hand of the past reaching up from the grave to hit his misbehaving son up side the head!
They think that "moderating" by handing out amnesty and caving on other stuff is going to help them. They won't gain anyone they will just lose the base and the base's votes.

GOP = The Masterbation Party..
Changing hands is frowned upon but done if one hand gets too bloody..
the sooner conservatives to get on the outside of the r-party (in all but the solid counties and states), the better. at that point, conservatives can begin to unify.
so educate us about the real world
I agree
Unless they change course, the Republican party is destined to collapse with a speed rivaling the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe twenty years ago...
Evidence enough?
So, tell me, who stayed home in McCain's case? Then, tell me, how did Romney get just about the same number of votes as McCain if Conservatives stayed home?
The big drop off was from "W" to McCain. That's where we lost the Colon Pow vote ~ and they weren't all black guys ~ they were who they were ~ and that's the crowd who walked out on Barry Goldwater!@ They walked out again and voted for Obamagoober in 2008.
This, BTW, is how cohesive factions slip from one major coalition party to another. We just lost a whole big bunch of non-professional GOP-e types in the McCain vote. They solidified their adherence to Democrat treachery and treason in the 2008 vote. They ain't comin' back.
This is one of the major reasons why Romney, who was depending on GOP-e foot soldiers, ended up without foot soldiers for his campaign ~ whenever it was supposed to begin.
That 4 million voter loss from "W" to McCain to Romney was about 6.25% of our expected fieldable voting strength. I've been estimating the GOP-e as, at most, 15% of Republican numbers, but this experience strongly suggests we've lost nearly half of them already and only have 8.75% more and we will be rid of them.
I'd guess about now they are starting to demand a seat at the table from the unions ~ whoops, I mean the DNC!!!
Hidden in the quantum noise we may have picked up 4 million black voters. Notice that Obama's numbers dropped from 2008 to 2012 ~ they went somewhere. Let's say that's black voters fed up with this posseur's BS and they slipped back over to the Republican column like they did before 1964 ~ JFK only got 75% of the black vote BTW ~ we got the others.
So they lied in exit interviews, but black voters could have easily protested the Obama failure to come to grip with their problems.
If Romney actually got those 4 million voters, we may well have lost all the other Rockefeller Republicans to the Democrats, so then we don't need to worry about them, and the lingering group of professional GOP-e's simply have no voting strength behind them!
That 4 million black vote would be a full 25% of black voting strength ~ and in critical areas. Maybe as the others figure out we have redistricted to give black people more guaranteed black Congressmen and members of state legislatures, we can pick them up and move back to the pre-Roosevelt 45% to 60% black voting strength that was historically ours.
The Democrats will be slow to recognize that their enticement of the hispanics to their banner has driven away the blacks.
"I said to him, "Your troops are most of them old, decayed serving men and tapsters and such kind of fellows. You must get men of a spirit that are likely to go as far as they[10] will go, or you will be beaten still." It may not be easy to find these men. They can be found only by trial and by ruthlessly discarding all who fail and have their failings discovered. We are fighting to-day for our life, for our liberty, for our all; we cannot go on being led as we are. I have quoted certain words of Oliver Cromwell. I will quote certain other words. I do it with great reluctance, because I am speaking of those who are old friends and associates of mine, but they are words which, I think, are applicable to the present situation. This is what Cromwell said to the Long Parliament when he thought it was no longer fit to conduct the affairs of the nation: "You have sat too long here for any good you have been doing. Depart, I say, and let us have done with you. In the name of God, go"
- Leo Amery, speaking in the debate that resulted in Chamberlain's replacement by Churchill in 1940.
The Republicans will be beaten still, until there are leaders who intend to stand for something (and something other than pork, trying to out-Democrat the Democrats, and be all things to all people while simultaneously being nothing) and are willing to fight- putting principle foremost, and willing to denounce their enemies as exactly that- enemies.
Democrats and RINOS
Great for easy to make and distribute palmcards to pass around
IS?? What does he mean IS?? The party of STUPID is done. Best example is it took Boehner four years to make the statement he thinks Obama is out to destroy the Republican party...
FOUR years for this A$$hat to realize that. Geeeze
Yeah the party of Stupid IS dead.
Name me one principle that the GOPe will fight and die for. Immigration, abortion, gay marriage, gun rights, the debt, taxes, social security reform, tax reform, healthcare.
The difference is that the GOPe will not stand up for any thing anymore, but these libtards will fight to the death for any of these issues.
Until the party decides to stand for something, Anything? they only stand for trying to win elections. Rubio sold his soul to McBlame and and Lindsey for what. Border security first. Think this bunch of idiots on the left will wait 10 years to secure the border? Once they get the shadow people out in the sunlight, this Country will never secure another inch of the border. Its 1986 all over again, and McLame will get to vote for another Immigration reform bill.
Name me one principle that the GOPe will fight and die for.Keeping conservatives out of power.
The photo means nothing. Your smear effort speaks more about your lack of understanding of the world than it does about Newt
Simpler answer.
Conservatives have left the republican party in 2008 with the nomination of McCain.
They ain't coming back. That's the crucial 6, 7 percent of the party that determines which way the wind goes. They pull their support - the republicans lose - they come in and turn out, Republicans win. Same as it always was.
Nominate a conservative and we'll be wondering "why was this so hard?"
Just for your information.......might want to read what Levin said about Newt
Republicans must remember that Gingrich was the first GOP speaker of the House in almost 50 years, Levin said. He was fighting Democrats to win the House of Representatives before most of the people trashing him on the Internet were old enough to wipe themselves ... before most of the commentators on TV were switching from Democrats to Republicans.
Its OK to criticize Gingrich, Levin said. But dont count me among those who are going to destroy the man, he continued. You can disagree with the man on substance, but dont turn him into some Marxist, Reagan-hating mental case, because hes not.
Levin is particularly angry with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, an aggressive Romney supporter. I was appalled when the two-year governor of New Jersey, who has done absolutely zero for the conservative movement, gets on TV and regurgitates all the ethical bull crap thrown at Newt Gingrich when he was speaker of the House.
There's your answer ~ the godless, soulless, atheist, homosexualist, double-dealer, kneejerk, robotlike, kneejerk crowd who imagine they run the Republican party ABANDONED IT
That was the greatest mid-term defection in history ~ most analysts have used that as an upper limit to the Conservative vote assuming all Conservatives chose that as an opportunity to show displeasure. Actually, that was just the hard-core Christian vote who concern themselves with such matters in politics ~ there are about 17 million of thems. The other 9 million were simply voters who prefer to not vote in anything but the presidential race.
The fall off from W to McCain is no where near the 17 million hard core serious minded Christian numbers ~ it's just 4 million. That's the Republican left.
What does the GOP stand for? Tax cuts? That's the only thing they have pushed for decades. On every other issue they have caved and bowed to leftist demands. No principles=no support.
The new conservatives like Rubio and Cruz better watch it. Especially Rubio, the crosshairs are on him now. Notice how he is the early favorite for 2016. The RINOs and Commies have made a backroom pact to triangulate him and take him out by pushing immigration. They know Rubio will cave and support amnesty in the end and his viability will be gone.
If he doesn't cooperate the RINOs will work with the Commies to paint Rubio as an extremist so much that he loses his next reelection bid. And that's how the game works. Destroy the nationalist conservative opposition so we the Democans can maintain our power hold on the status quo.
Newt needs to gracefully recede from the stage a la Dick Cheney.
He's too erratic to be an effective conservative spokesman.
As a reminder......Newt Gingrich was the ONLY primary candidate to get a standing ovation during the debates, which unfortunately brought the GOP GHOULS out to assist Romney in a sleazy campaign. Newt Gingrich is the most articulate conservative politician in America. Newt Gingrich is far from erratic, it just takes an intelligent person to keep up with him.
...it just takes an intelligent person to keep up with him.You've outed me.
I fear you are right. The Party won the House because of the Tea Party movement. Instead of embracing these newcomers, the part chieftains fought to keep them from leading positions. They had their lineup for 2012, and even to win, they were not going to accept a conservative candidate.
We have a winner, exactly. Time for a real party that has conservative values in mind, not guys like Rubio who are so easily fooled by McBlAME. Honestly as Rubio cries foul today, why would anyone think that the dems would agree to wait until the border is secure before placing the shadow people in the short line? The only people in the shadows are fair skinned red haired folks who cannot be in the sun. I saw 25 shadow people building 2 houses today and you can bet they were not doing it for $3.00/hr. Time to call these idiots on their bluff.
So, will there be a "special" Hannity TV show that will cover this?
Mark must know that it is the little Republican primary voters who keep the establishment entrenched in election after election.
I am not so sanguine. Just because fewer than all the conservatives left, does not mean that some of the conservatives did not leave.
Why would a liberal vote for Bush yet not vote for McCain? That to me makes little sense. What makes to me more sense, is that some of the conservatives chose not to stick with McCain.
Again, this based on the false premise that the conservatives would support the party just because they are conservatives and believe that this is their duty. At some point the question comes forth - the party does not wish to support our ideals, so why do we support the party?
Mark must know that it is the little Republican primary voters who keep the establishment entrenched in election after election.You mean the early primaries that are focused in states that overwhelmingly vote Democrat?
The ones that the GOP-e insist on keeping "open"?
I hate to say it but I feel in my heart it may be time for some drastic and perhaps otherwise unthinkable action.
I can only pray that they exist somewhere out there someone brave & skilled enough to pull it off before its too late.
It brings great sadness to my heart to recognize that there is in any event little to no hope for liberty under this "Federal" Government. No future election is likely to ever change that fact, just as no past election has ever had any similar effect.
Government are made by and of men known as politicians who have almost uniformly shared one defining characteristic, the desire for power. We cannot have hope to reclaim liberty when it runs against the grain of this characteristic, nor can we ever expect to elect a lot of such men who reject it.
This is the way things have been sense the beginning of time and the reason Government are known to almost uniformly grow corrupt until falling. The reformation & restoration we have hope to see will not and cannot come from Washington.

This all goes back to the very origins of the Whig party ~ they were the guys supporting the National Bank! Whenever there were serious financial issues the old Whig wing of the Republican party has been ready to jump ship ~ the morally driven side, the Abolitionists, stayed the course.
That's more easily said than explained. Primary turnouts are fractions of the general election turnout of voters, but as far as most of the House of Representatives goes, if you win the primary, you probably got the job. Why would a conservative or small 'l' libertarian vote for someone on the right in the House, and then vote for a RINO for statewide office or President? That doesn't make sense to me.
I've posted results from exit polls since 2006. You can find them using 20xxexitpoll as the keyword by substituting the correct numbers for the particular general election.
2006 and 2008 GOP general election losses were explained by moderates and/or independents bailing out on the GOP.
In 2010 the GOP got 60 % of the white vote for the first time.
In 2012 the GOP got 60 % of the white vote, but an expected 7 - 8 million white voters didn't go to the polls.
The Case of the Missing White Voters
Open primaries in some states only explains part of these anomalous results. Low information independent voters in the general election explains more, IMHO. There are many states where the independents, aka unaffiliated, outnumber registered rats or pubbies. IIRC, the national average of those independents is close to 40 %.
We are pussy-footin' around the basic question here. The GOP must die. How do we engineer a dignified and honorable death, instead of a horrible, slow, internecine torture with cheering Democrats poised to take over for the rest of our lives?
Perhaps "Conservatives" should simply forget any hope of Federal power and concentrate on winning states, placing them under strong, anti-federal conservative governors and legislatures. What is "Strong?" A governor for example, who realizes that the states still have the power to select their senators by vote of state legislatures and will fight for it in court if necessary.
In re "Conservative" talk show hosts: wake TF up. These recycled Rock'n'Roll Disc Jockeys (Beck, Limbaugh, Hannity, the despicable Schnitt, e.g.) are not leaders. They are not political philosophers. They are in many cases woefully uneducated radio geeks whose job it is to sell the believers Sleep Number Beds and Gold Bars, among other advertisers' products. Preaching to the choir (or niche market) is no way to build church membership. They leave major issues untouched. IMNSVHO, they all have "0" or minus effect on elections. In fact, IMNSVHO, they are at least partially responsible for turning the last fiasco into a personality contest rather than a hard-hitting policy-based campaign; not wise when your candidate has no personality. The Left has the media. We have hours of negative rants all day long.
Romney may have picked up on their constant negativity and anti-Obama posturing and ran a "I'm not Obama" campaign. Perhaps that's what led to the low white voter turn-out. Let's face it ... Those so-called "conservatives" who stayed home are just as ignorant as the newly discovered "Low-Info" voters. Dumb bastards the solid Democrat base may be, but they were smarter than the white millions of talk radio listeners who may have stayed on the couch for the election. That is, many of the "Low-Info" people apparently at least voted, (or were voted ... which is another story uncovered by the "conservative" hosts).
Why can't we use the radio to promote A PROGRAM, The PLAN to IMPLEMENT IT, and to discover the LEADER to make it clear and inspire citizen followers?
You ain't gonna find any of that on talk radio. It's all "How bad is Obama ... He's taking our guns ... Buy this gold bar... This Identity Protection Software!"
Just because two people ask you out doesn't mean you have to go out with either...

CHEAP is right
"I bought this shoe to add some pink/spring colors to my wardrobe, and I thought the color combination was a different look for me. Out of the box, they were very cute and very comfy. However, after one day of wearing to church, the inner sides of the faux leather material started to rub off from the shoes rubbing against each other... Okay, so maybe I danced a little in them, but I thought they would've held up a little better than that. I'm just a little mad at myself I guess ... I got many compliments. Buy the shoe!"

Flipping through the channels to find something worth watching brought me to ESPN and something called the Grumman Military Bowl. I watched for a minute or two. One team was San Jose State and the other was BGSU, whoever that is. And the game was being played where; I don't know cause I never hung around long enough to find out. The Grumman Military Bowl? Why? Whose brainstorm was this and why? Do we really need a bowl game by this name?
And where were the fans, the stadium was practically empty. If bowl games were designed to reward schools for having a good year and to provide extra income, I would think the only way to accomplish this would be to have fans in the seats. Evidently neither the local fans nor the fans from the hometown of the schools playing wanted to travel to this game. And that is the problem with college football today; games being played before nobody in places nobody wants to go to.
Utah State just won the Famous Idaho Potato bowl and my thought is, who cares outside of Logan. Nobody. And do we really need a bowl named the Famous Idaho Potato bowl. I think not and I am from Idaho and Boise is a nice city but it is cold this time of year in Idaho. I grew up watching bowl games in locations like Miami, New Orleans, Dallas and Pasadena. These are locations that are warm and exotic and romantic.
Now we have bowl games in places like Boise and Albuquerque and such and these places are not hot vacation destinations, actually they are rather cold and not exactly where I would go to watch a game.
So what can be done about the charade that is posing as postseason for college football? We really don't need all these games with all the weird names. What we really need is a solution. The smartest people in the world work at these schools, or at least that is what they tell us, so why can't they solve the problem.
The problem is football rules college sports and changes are being made so that schools will have their proper reward. Solve the problem, have a playoff. Scrap the bowl games that nobody watches and nobody travels to and have a playoff.
Let all schools in, split the money equally and have a true playoff system to where all have equal opportunity. It is simple. Form football conferences and let the other sports do whatever they want to, leave them out of the football thing.
Let football winners matter, fans will go if the games matter and right now most do not. With a playoff, they will matter and fans will be everywhere. Unfortunately this will never happen, it is too simple. The haves will not give up their kingdom and let the have-nots in. That is too bad because the answer is simple.

Awesome Conditioner! Awesome Packaging!I really enjoy this conditioner! When I first looked at the bottle, I loved it. The packaging is beautiful and actually very useful, it is a skinny bottle so I can fit my hand all the way around it, so I don't drop it in the shower.
I have been using it for over a week now and I have realized that my hair has become softer, shinier, and easier to take care of. It also feels lighter, and overall just healthier.
This conditioner is a thicker one, which I LOVE. I have used drug store conditioners in the past and they are a lot more liquid-y, which I do not like.
I like the smell of this conditioner - not too powerful, but a nice scent.
It is also very natural, which I love.
When I think of Keratin, I think of no more frizz, and completely manageable hair. Since this is not an actual Keratin treatment, and just a keratin infused conditioner, you could say that it has those results, just toned down. I bet if you used this with the shampoo and leave in conditioner, it would work very well.
This is a pricey conditioner, and that is the only con to it. Yes, it is keratin infused, so it will be pricey, but $17.95 is too much for me, personally. But, you get what you pay for, so I definitely suggest trying this productOct 20, 2012Karissa / United StatesHAIR TYPEBlonde / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

It's probably no secret that I am a huge EC fan. I mean, my daughter's name is Layla. I play a sunburst Strat. I've purchased at least three copies of From the Cradle.
You can read my official review of Old Sock over on the PG website, here.
I have to say even though this album as a whole isn't one of his shining moments, I think the original tracks contain some of the best writing and playing since Pilgrim. Yes, I liked that album. If "She's Gone" doesn't rock your face, just leave now.
Hopefully, like I mentioned in the review, I hope Clapton will once again give us a solid all-blues album (and tour? He just said he was only touring until 70) before riding off into the sunset of one-offs and guest appearances.
And please. PLEASE. Can someone tell EC not to use vacation selfies from his iPhone for his album art?

We'd come to this decision last week and the original plan was to do 1 final release, but it seems our raw providers won't be able to procure the magazine until tomorrow so delaying the inevitable seemed foolish.
I'll try and keep this as brief as possible, we've dropped Naruto. Kylara's days are numbered with University around the corner, and I find myself in a situation where manga needs to stop being a priority. Very soon neither of us will have the time nor desire to dedicate entire Thursday evenings for this so we are opting to quit now rather than drag this on.
I stress that this doesn't have much to do with recent drama at all. Though maybe we would have been more motivated to salvage the project somehow if people/groups/sites stopped trying so hard to get us to stop, maybe not, who knows, at least they finally got their wish. It's been a bumpy road but I think as far as the actual releases are concerned we did pretty good, thanks for reading.
Binktopia recommends JapFlap for accurate & clean naruto scanlations.
Shouts to:
- Kylara: If it weren't for you always trying to push me to up the bar in quality I'd probably still be making bad scanlations XD
- Manyou: You saved our butts and helped usher in an era where the English community could once again enjoy Naruto on Thursdays. Thanks!
- Thatbabo: I love you mang
- HisshouBuraiKen: We appreciate you being on time every single week ready to give us high quality translations.
- Binktopia Staff: For the random help I needed... especially redraws/joining.
- Asce: wowfag
- All of you guys who didn't succumb to temptation, and waited patiently for our releases.

Land Rover's drive to engage existing and new audiences through social media continues with the launch of Adventuregram, an interactive story on Instagram, which allows users to create their own everyday adventure by clicking through tags attached to each picture.
One Instagram account is created for each step of the journey, linked to each other from one photograph to another profile, permitting the user to tap and choose from the given options and decide the next step on their personal adventure.
Created and developed by The Brooklyn Brothers, Land Rover's Adventuregram encourages users to build their own adventure and navigate their way through a series of everyday adventure scenarios.
Adventuregram was created with the new Land Rover Discovery Sport front of mind. Bringing together Land Rover's core values of versatility, technology and capability the new Discovery Sport brings the best out of everyday adventures aligning itself perfectly to the interactive adventures users can enjoy with Adventuregram.
True to Land Rover Discovery Sport's dual-purpose values the adventure can take place in a city or countryside setting depending on the users preference. From helping to herd sheep and going off road, to driving the city streets at night, Adventuregram allows the user to experience the brand through a journey, rather than a static experience.
A large web of Instagram accounts are created to tell the story, prompting the user to click on a variety of different tags on the photo, providing them with a completely personal adventure and social experience.
Adventuregram is a true storytelling experience and the platform can be continually built upon, allowing the user to experience a page-turning experience similar to the tradition of Enid Blyton's adventure stories.
The photographs on Adventuregram have been shot entirely on iPhone 6, providing graphics which are instantly recognisable, believable and most importantly, native to Instagram.
Kristin Vicari, photographer, said: 'We wanted to provide the user with a journey that they could relate to and convey it as realistically as possible. We used smartphone photography to reflect the style someone who is on their own adventure would capture'.
Dominic Chambers, General Manager, Digital Marketing at Jaguar Land Rover said; 'Adventuregram is a fantastic way for users to engage with Land Rover Discovery Sport's spirit of adventure on Instagram. As a brand we always encourage people to get out and about, to enjoy everyday adventures and to explore. Adventuregram does exactly this and we are excited that this will deliver users on social an interactive journey, providing a snapshot of what real-life Land Rover customers experience'.
He continued: "Users increasingly want more exciting content and interaction on social media, especially on Instagram, whose growth has been tremendous in the past year. We feel Adventuregram delivers on this and we look forward to our users enjoying this interactive adventure'.

Online Merchandising Training
As e-commerce matures and customers are trained by your competitors to expect more, marketing and commercial professionals must be able to satisfy customers whilst also increasing profits.
James Gurd, a thought-leader in e-commerce, heads up this course examining online merchandising. This course takes a whole-business approach to the art of selling online, from promises made to customers, right through to post-purchase selling.
This intensive course covers the entire breadth of online selling - from product selection and presentation, through search, sorting, filtering and promotions, to an introduction of advanced rule-based merchandising. We will also consider product-specific presentation needs and the test-measure-optimise approach to selling.
The day considers selling 'in the round': from the promises made to customers through to post-purchase selling. We also place online selling in the context of offline selling (store, catalogue and telephone) as well as within a performance framework, suggesting some KPIs to assess progress.
The multichannel, commercial approach will allow participants to communicate the benefits of a whole-business approach to selling online, as well as measuring and sharing the success.

SALT LAKE CITY/ORANGEVILLE-Donna L. Luke age 90, passed away Thursday, Sept. 8, 2011. Donna was born Oct. 5, 1920 in Orangeville, Utah one of five children born to George Lee and Francis Woodward Taylor. She married her High School Sweetheart, Lincoln LeRoy Luke on June 1, 1941. They were married for 59 wonderful years before Lincoln's passing in 2000.
Donna grew up and attended school in Orangeville, Emery County. Following her marriage they moved to Price, where she worked at the Dress Shop as a saleswoman for many years. Donna was very supportive of her husband, who was very talented musically, attending his many performances and dances that he played for. In 1959 they moved to Salt Lake City, then in 1964 they moved to California where they lived until 1995. They moved back to Salt Lake to be closer to family in 1995.
Donna loved serving others and was always putting others needs before hers. She was a great cook and always had fruit, cheese and pickles for family and friends as they came to visit. Her family was her life and everything she did revolved around them. She loved her grandchildren, who loved her just as much. Donna will be remembered as a loving and caring mother and grandmother.
Funeral services will be Saturday, Sept. 17, 2011 at 11 a.m. at the Orangeville LDS Ward Chapel, 45 West 100 South.

Interment will be in the Orangeville City Cemetery.
Services are in the care of Fausett Mortuary. Friends and family may sign the guestbook and share memories of Donna at www.fausettmortuary.com.

Not quite is he saying that he fixed the fights. Just that he arranged them, as opposed to allowing someone who could have beaten Ichigo to fight him - Such as explaining why such a powerful Hollow showing up when he was fighting against Ishida. It makes no sense to just suggest he fixed it, as Ichigo DID grow in power and Aizen was discussing using him for his 'raw power', which is illogical it's self if Aizen was planning on winning all Ichigo's fights for him. Hell, even the 'Don't disappoint me' comment he made after the swing implies that he feels he knows what level Ichigo should currently be at.
Anyway, still a cheap cop out - Because Isshin isn't allowed to kill Aizen anyway because he's not the main character, and his appearance, IMO, is actually more bad writing than clever writing. Why hide out while this fight happens if he just plans to kill Aizen?

"I wore these to church. The brothers had nothing but good things to say. The toe is very norrow, so that is why I the shoe is narrow. I would order a 1/2 size larger."

Great boot
"I really like this boots design. It runs about a whole size big though. I usuallly get a size 12 for pointy toed boots and that usually works well, but I could have gone a full size smaller. Otherwise I'm perfectly happy with my purchase. They were deliveed in a very timely manner, actually it surprised me how quickly they arrived. I will be doing business with DSW again."

Sociology is the scientific study of human groups, their characteristics, changes, causes and consequences. Through teaching, research, and service we reveal a critical understanding of the different ways people relate to one another through the organization of society and how its structures and cultures influence our lives. Our subject matter ranges from family life to large-scale organizations, from crime to religion, from the divisions of race and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture, from poverty to prosperity, from the sociology of work to the sociology of sport. Few fields have such a broad and exciting scope.
Unique features of the Major
St. Louis city and county provide great opportunities for the scientific study of human community. St. Louis is an excellent research laboratory for social behavior as determined by social structure and physical environment, how community is a major factor in shaping human behavior, and human adaptations to community. The sociology major provides a strong background in social science education combining theory and empirical methods of analysis with an emphasis on social inequality and institutions. Students' learning experiences may be enhanced through practical fieldwork experiences with area non-profit organizations and governmental agencies.
Concentrations in Sociology
New concentrations in Sociology major starting fall (2015) allow students to specialize in: health and medicine; law, crime and deviance; immigration, urbanization & demography; and gender, sexuality and the body.

To see itinerary, please click on an option below.
Days 1 & 2 – U.S. and Moscow, Russia
Depart the U.S. on individual flights bound for Moscow. On arrival in Moscow transfer to the hotel in the city center. Meet fellow participants at the welcome dinner this evening. (In-Flight, D)
Day 3 – Moscow
Drive outside of Moscow to the Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center, or GCTC, in the once highly classified and secretive Star City. The center was established in 1960, and since 1968 has been named for Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space. Today the GCTC remains the premier training facility for Russian cosmonauts and foreign astronauts planning manned space flights.
Trace the evolution of the Soviet space program, exploring the Mir Space Station Simulator (the Mir was operational from 1986-2001), and learn about training joint Russian-American crews on the simulator of the International Space Station (ISS). At the massive hydro lab, or Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory, learn how crews acquire skills for operations outside the space station under simulated weightless conditions. The world's largest centrifuge, used for simulating G-loads, is on the program as well.
Enjoy lunch in the Star City cafeteria, used by the crewmembers in training and other facilitators of the Star City complex. Meet and talk with one of the Russian cosmonauts. Each participant receives a special certificate recognizing his or her visit to Star City. (B,L,D)

Fly to the Baikonur Cosmodrome, on the arid steppe of Kazakhstan. This is a special flight for those going to witness and participate in the launch. On arrival, enjoy an opportunity for a lecture or a meeting with a local guest speaker to prepare for the next few days. You will enjoy unparalleled access to VIP viewing areas and briefing sessions during your time here. (B,L,D)
Day 5 – Baikonur
Begin with an early morning viewing of the roll-out of the awe-inspiring Soyuz Rocket. Follow the Soyuz to the launch pad site and watch the raising of the rocket together with the press, military personnel, cosmonauts and their relatives.
Visit the main launch pad, the "Gagarin Start," where the Sputnik launches took place, and mingle with the press and other guests. Visit the Baikonur Museum, the Yuri Gagarin and Sergei Korolev living apartments, the monument to the beginning of the Space Age, and the Zenit launch pad. (B,L,D)
Day 6 – Baikonur
Tour the Buran hangar (approximately the size of the Astrodome) where the rockets are assembled, and one of several other launch pads. Also visit the sites around the town of Leninsk, including the Central Market and a visit to the International Space School. (B,L,D)
Day 7 – Baikonur
Today transfer to the cosmonaut hotel to attend the ISS Crew Press Conference at the Cosmonaut Hotel, a chance to ask questions to the next ISS crew. The rest of the day is spent visiting launch pads, assembly and integration buildings, and other sites throughout Baikonur Cosmodrome. (B,L,D)
Day 8 – Soyuz Launch, Depart Baikonur and fly back to Moscow
Today is the day of the manned space launch of the Soyuz to the International Space Station. Witness the process before, during and after the launch.

Gather at the exclusive VIP launch viewing area for the heart-stirring launch of the Soyuz. After the launch, transfer to the airport for a flight back to Moscow.
Upon arrival in Moscow, time permitting, take a private tour of the Cold War Museum Bunker. Over 200 feet below Moscow is the Secured Command Post "Tagansky," an abandoned relic of the Cold War built to withstand a nuclear attack. Stocked with food and provisions, the 75,000-square-foot space was meant to sustain 5,000 people for three months. Ordered by Stalin in 1951, the shelter was finished in 1956, and soon became a secret communication bunker and, reportedly, a missile control center. A tour of the formerly secret bunker includes a video presentation on the Cold War. Raise a toast to an out-of-this-world journey during the festive farewell dinner. (B,L,D)
Note: The order of events and sites visited in Baikonur may be changed or moved around to coincide with the launch time window.
Day 9 – Depart Moscow
Depart Moscow for the U.S. Those taking the optional cosmonaut training spend an extra day or two in Moscow training at Star City and depart to the U.S. the following day. See tour extensions for descriptions of Optional Cosmonaut Training in Star City.

Not For MeThis very powerful dryer made my hair completely flat, even though I use a round brush and volumizing products. Yes, it was very smooth. Too smooth. It was also too powerful and just blew my hair around like crazy. Not recommended for anyone who wants volume and bounce or who has straight/fine/thin hair. I went back to my Elchim and am very happy.Dec 4, 2015LyndaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Extraordinary DryerI bought this incredible hair dryer after doing much reading and research. I LOVE the many heat settings and that it doesn't get too hot. My 3b hair behaves beatifully after each use and before the MegaPower 4000, I was never a fan of blow drying my hair. In the past, (with cheaper brands), blow dryers just left my hair frizzy and extremely dry. Now, when I decide to blow dry my hair, I know I'll get salon results in my own home. Although it's a little heavy and it doesn't come with a comb attachment, I am very satified with the product.Dec 20, 2012VivianHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair

Best Hair Dryer Ever!TWO Chi's have died on me in THREE years which equals over $200. I took a risk and ordered this dryer and I am glad I did. It dries my natuarlly curly hair in 12 minutes. It used to take my 20 with the Chi. Also the Chi would not be heated if turned off in mid dying so I had to leave it running no matter what if I wanted my hair dry. I can turn this one on and off as much as I want and it stays hot. The Chi is TERRIBLE. Don't get one order one from this collection if you don't want to spend half of your life drying your hair and you don't want to buy a new dryer every year.May 19, 2012Kiley H. / AtlantaHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Curly Hair

Not Bad But Not As Good As I ExpectedI generally buy decent hairdryers and spend a bit on them. I usually buy them from a salon- my two year old lovely professional hairdryer stopped working. I thought spending this amount of money would be give me a guaranteed great buy. Its a bit heavy but that isnt really an isse. The speed is good but the heat is poor. I have long thick hair - takes ages to style. This doesnt make it any shorter as i dont feel it heats up enough.Apr 10, 2012JenHAIR TYPENormal Hair

Straightest Blow Dry Ever!I'm a licensed professional and have used tons of dryers over a dozen years. Last week this dryer delivered the straightest results (no flat iron needed) on two of my clients with the thickest hair. (I do NOT typically use the flat iron on clients- not necessary, but this one client usually still needs it.) Very impressed so far. I have only had it a week, so we'll see if this dryer can withstand more than a year of professional use. Most dryers expire before that.Feb 20, 2012ChrisHAIR TYPEColor Treated Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Nice Blow DryerI really like this blow dryer because it gets your hair straight (i've only used highest speed) without having to use the highest heat setting, and the cool setting actually blows cool air unlike some other blow dryers that blow warm air. My hair does appear shinier since I've started using this blow dryer. The only con is that I wish it came with a comb attachment (I bought one and it fitted), other than that it's a really nice blow dryer...Feb 7, 2012SkyHAIR TYPEThick or Coarse Hair

Powerful And QuietMy stylist turned me on to this dryer; she said it was the best dryer she had ever used. So far I really like it. The air flow is very powerful, but the motor is much quieter than my old dryer. I got pink which is a really pretty shade. I use the high speed for initial drying and the low speed for my roller brush; with previous dryers the low speed was totally useless to me but this one is so much more powerful.
Two things I don't like about it are
1. It's a bit heavy
2. I find that the nozzle falls off frequently
I'm trying to push on the nozzle harder and that helps. I really like the wider nozzle that comes with it.
When I first got it it made little spark/ pop noises; if you looked down the nozzle you could see a little spark. I was concerned, but in the owners manual it specifically mentions that this occurs when the device is new and will go away. It has gone away after 1-2 uses.
Overall I really like this dryer.Jan 17, 2012JuliaHAIR TYPEBlonde / Thick or Coarse Hair

Did Not Get HotLoved the features and quiet motor, as well as high power drying speed- but, the dryer would not get hot. I would have settled for a mild heat as opposed to extreme heat, but it was just warm, not hot enough to get my wavy hair smoothed out. I exchanged it for a Super Solano, will review that one when it arrives.Dec 29, 2011Dana R. / email@example.com TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Love, Love, Love This BlowdryerThis is my first review on any product (thats how impressed I am). Just to describe my hair; I am African American with texlaxed hair. I don't see how my hair survived without this blowdryer!!! My conair will now officially be used on my dog only, lol. The megapower 4000 is a very powerful dryer, and gets hot without harming your hair. It actually makes my hair feel so much healthier. My hair was left soo straight, soft, and silky; you would think I flat ironed it. I can't compliment this blowdryer enough. I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it, and the fact that it came in pink made it soo much better (the pink is gorgeous). Thanks so much for making such a great product.Sep 8, 2011KarenHAIR TYPEBlack / Dry Hair / Relaxed Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Wow IncredibleThis dryer is the best one i have ever used. It leaves my hair silky shiny and soft. It does exactly what Turbo Powers says it will do. My drying time is 50-60% faster and it leaves my hair straighter than ever before. The power of this dryer is just incredible I will never buy any other dryer than this one. I have used many other brands including T3 and there is just no comparison. My hair feels like i just left the salon. I will recommend this dryer to all my friends. this is same brand that my hair stylist uses. You will not go wrong with this dryer and for the price it is an incredible purchase. I also bought the Forma wet a dry flat iron #346 from Turbo Power what a great companion to the dryerApr 16, 2011Cris / MiamiHAIR TYPEDark Brown / Normal Hair

I downloaded the most recent fan film wrath of the mandalorian. And when I try and play it, it only plays the sound. I am an idiot. Did I just download the sound file? How do I get the video to play?
What are we going to do about this? It is an outrage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just wanna watch the film... really really badly.... you don't even know dude...
Is it a .avi? If so you might just need to download a codec. Google it up, I forget the site. I'm not sure what else to include in the google search. Divx maybe, or Xvid. At least those are the only things I've heard of. I'm not too knowledgeable on this. I just know sometimes you need a codec. (or codek, I forget how it's spelled)
It clearly says on the site, and on BFFC, that it's AVI + DIVX. If you just hear the sound, you're missing the DIVX plug-in or compatible player. Try VLC.
I left it downloading all last night (because it says it's going to take me about 16 hours on dial-up) but then this morning it screwed up and made me start over. At this point I'm considering giving up (so everybody tell me how it was!)
I just got done downloading it, it was worth going to Divx's website and downloading the codex (for free) Its one of the best fan films ive seen yet of Boba.
*shrugs* I was on the right track with what I was saying, I just wasn't entirely right. lol
So it's good then? Maybe I'll go ahead and download it.
The movie is very good, alittle short maybe but that is fogiveable.
Well, I downloaded the vid x media player or whatever thing I needed to play the video. I wasn't impressed as much as I had hoped. The sound effects I had had previously let my imagination to a better job of making the movie than the actual film did. I'm not saying it wasn't a good film, but let's just say it's no George Lucas production... There was a lot to be desired...
Did like the Boba outfit though, that was impressive.
oh, and when boba jumped over darth vader and tried to strangle him, i couldnt help but cry laughing, that was so freakin lame dude...
Now that it's clear the video requires an AVI + DIVX player, feel free to start a Topic on the fan film Wrath of the Mandalorian in the General forum.
This is now closed.

Should the NHL expand, relocate, or contract?
February 08 2013 07:33AM
It is expected that the NHL will announce expansion of the league, presumably by two teams, at some point in the not so distant future. Markham and Quebec are the anticipated locations, with arenas being built, and an expansion draft to follow.
Seattle is in the mix for an NHL team as well, but I expect that is the league's fallback position for the Coyotes at this stage.
I've heard many arguments that the league should relocate or contract by two or more teams. Cities like Nashville, Florida, Phoenix or other non-traditional hockey markets are usually cited as being unfit for inclusion in the NHL. Concerns range from the financial viability of the current teams in those markets to a dilution of talent amongst what is believed to be an already dwindling pool.
So, this leads me to wonder two things: Is it better for the league to expand, contract or relocate? And is the talent pool of the NHL actually that small?
There is no shortage of people, especially in Canadian cities, who would somewhat offhandedly say that the league should fold two teams and have a dispersal draft. This usually revolves around two key ideas: that the market in question cannot, and will not, improve to the point of being a viable location, and that the talent pool is already too diluted due to the number of teams in the league.
On the first point, the logic seems to be that those markets can't survive right now and should just be cut loose. Forgive me for being curt about this, but that is a pretty shallow way of looking at things. Fifteen years ago the same argument could have been made, and probably was, by members of the Board of Governors of some American NHL cities around the league regarding the teams in Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Quebec. At the time many American NHL franchises were contributing money to a currency equalization fund that acted as a fiscal lifeline to their poorer Canadian counterparts. Had this fund not existed it is entirely likely that there would have only been three or four teams in Canada at the time of the 2004-2005 lockout, rather than six.
The reality was that the economics of the time made NHL teams in those markets tenuous at best, and disastrous at worst. Two of the teams relocated and it sent a deep psychological shock into the subconscious of the nation. Personally, that experience has given me a deep sense of empathy for any fan whose team is in danger of relocating.
So it seems to me to be a little out of place, or even crass, to turn the argument of viability around on to some struggling teams in non-traditional markets when the economics briefly turn in the other direction. Granted, the fan base does not exist to the same extent in many of these areas as it does in Canadian cities, and the franchises often have to work twice as hard to get half as far. But so did the Oilers, Canucks, Sens and Flames when the loonie was on par with the peso and Canadian teams were passing the hat around the community in order to keep the creditor wolves at bay. And there is nothing to suggest that new locations, regardless of geography, can't become good hockey markets, given enough time.
What today is a struggling market may grow to become a strong NHL partner in the future. Nashville was laughed at as an expansion franchise. It seemed an absurd venture, doomed to fail. During the Predators' first few years in the league, every newspaper article I read about the home team's visit to Nashville invariably spent more time talking about the Grand Ole Opry than the product on the ice. The market was treated with little, if any, real respect. Yet today, due in part to the herculean work of David Poile and his staff, Nashville has one of the loudest, most involved and informed fan bases in the southern U.S. NHL markets, perhaps in the league. They may not be many, but they are devoted, and the arena sells out. Those fans could put some Canadian fan bases to shame. With that kind of following corporate sponsorship, the proverbial other financial shoe needed to drop, will eventually follow.
It took nearly ten years after the Gretzky trade to Los Angeles for the first player born in California to be drafted in the first round of the NHL Entry draft. Yet the involvement in hockey of players like Jonathan Blum, Jason Zucker and Emerson Etem is alrgely attributed to Gretzky's time in Los Angeles.
Perhaps Nashville's playoff run two years ago may have inspired a local seven year-old to lace up skates, rather than football cleats. We may not see the results of that introduction for a generation.
A market may, at first glance, appear to be a mismatch for hockey, but the game grows on people. Pulling out of a market because there is no initially apparent fan base that will automatically spring forth to attend games en masse, or that it doesn't "look" like a hockey environment is short-sighted and self-defeating.
The Almighty Dollar
Another reason that the league will expand rather than contract or relocate: money. Let's face it, the owners want more money, and expanding to Canadian markets isn't going to create another so-called "welfare" franchise. Not to mention that each owner would get a nice fat cheque as part of the entrance fee.
Relocation means taking a team out of a market and finding it a new home, something the NHL is loath to do due to their heavy reliance on municipal partnerships. There are some minor examples of teams moving to a suburb or nearby community, such as the Devils moving to Newark, or the Coyotes to Glendale, and more recently the Islanders to Brooklyn. However, those are minor in comparison to the more dramatic moves such as the Atlanta Thrashers moving to Winnipeg. The league has shown tremendous reluctance in recent years to shuffle franchises around the map, as it tends to undermine fan loyalty and long-term corporate sponsorship, two critical pieces of the NHL's revenue plan.
Expansion creates new ownership, a significant amount of media buzz, lends the league a greater amount of credibility when dealing with media partners, and brings in approximately $300 million or more in expansion fees per franchise to the owners.
I think the league can financially survive expansion, based on business practices and a gradual improvement of their overall revenues over the last two decades, from $400 million in 1990 to roughly $3.3 billion in 2012, would seem to reinforce this belief. It must also be recognized that the league's current divisional structure is somewhat outdated and can create a hardship on some teams when it comes to travel. The way cable and satellite packages are available now, and with the emergence of new rivalries spawning through playoff series, the old paradigm of divisional play and local rivalries is in need of a rethink. The response from the league is to move to four conferences, but they desperately need two more franchises in order to square that proverbial circle.
Columbus is the perfect example of why the NHL is terrible at locating teams. Columbus is the third biggest city in the state of Ohio, not a pucks hotbed itself, yet it gets a team and we're surprised when it struggles?
The Florida Panthers are located 20 miles out from everything; even if they were popular, I can't imagine anyone would line up to go.
What's so bad about relocating those teams? And your comparison to Canadian franchises is off the mark; those teams never had the complete lack of fan support that the Preds, Coyotes, Panthers, Jackets currently enjoy.
February 08 2013, 02:43PM
A fair point, but I don't know if I agree. Take Columbus: they've lost money every season since the lockout. Or the Panthers, who have lost money each of the ten past seasons. True, Canadian teams took a dip when the Canadian market did. These teams lost money during the bullish, pre-collapse years when the American economy was peaking. If they weren't turning a profit then, how could they ever?
February 08 2013, 03:37PM
Your thoughts on how long it takes a sport to take hold in a non-traditional market are right on. I remember hearing Bob Gainey talk about Dallas and how long it took for them to get the minor hockey system there up and running. I think you have to look at that, the overall hockey culture of a place, and is it growing, rather than just attendance and income. We have 100 years of hockey in Canada. It was a fringe sport at first here, too. I'd be excited for a renewed Montreal-Quebec rivalry, or a Toronto-Markham rivalry. Regardless of the dilution of the talent pool, those would be fun. Would they be called the Markham Waxers? Lol. 905ers? Markham Asylum? See, expansion is fun!
February 08 2013, 04:11PM
I may be restating what others have said before, but there a few things the NHL needs to do: 1) move Phoenix to Seattle. It's time put this one to bed. Seattle is a viable market and geographic rival to Vancouver. Also a strong team like the Coyotes is good for relocation to an untried market. 2) Expand to Quebec and Markham. Both markets are more than viable and will develop intense rivalries in a short period of time. Guaranteed. Expansion makes sense in Canada because the growing pains of expansion won't be as bad in a market known to be hockey-crazy. 3) This might not have been stated before but I propose relocating the Blue Jackets to Cleveland. Ohio is a northern state and therefore should be a viable hockey market. Nonetheless, hockey isn't doing too well in Columbus, and it might not be just because the on-ice product is, quite frankly, horrible. Columbus isn't necessarily a sports town, while Cleveland, with its infamously unsuccessful teams (the only city more championship deprived than Toronto) has a larger metro area population and a diehard sports fan base. I apologize for being anecdotal, but I was there last summer for an Indians game and fans were nuts all across the downtown corps. And we even talked hockey, even though all they have is an AHL team and the neighbouring Blue Jackets (who I realized then would be far better off in Cleveland). 4) As for Florida, Tampa, Carolina, Nashville, Dallas, LA, Anaheim, and San Jose, teams who won the Cup aren't relocating anytime soon, and those who haven't, with the exception of Florida, currently have exceptional teams and strong fan support. Whether that continues when the Sharks and Preds begin to tank is uncertain. Florida would appear to be a strong candidate for relocation, however, if they can't get their act together soon. Hartford Whalers 2.0 maybe?
February 10 2013, 10:02AM
I've always found the argument of dilution interesting because yes the league has expanded by 8 teams in the last 20 years or so but the talent pool that the NHL draws from has also expanded. More Czech, Russian, Swedes, and Fins play in the NHL today than before. Also countries such as Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, and Norway have begun to develop NHL players whereas before it was almost non existent. I don't think it's necessary to go back to 22, that's drastic, but relocation of 2 clubs and eliminating 2 would help with the re-alignment of teams into new divisions and would help eliminate some of the clubs that are really struggling. The 4 that seem to struggle the most are the 2 teams in Florida, Columbus, and Phoenix.
I totally agree with your assessment of Phoenix, Florida and Columbus but I have to disagree about Nashville. I've been to games there and I've been to games in Phoenix and its no comparison. Nashville has some genuine, die hard, knowledgeable fans and there's lots of them. Phoenix has some fans too but not in the same way, they just don't live for hockey in the desert. I really believe that Phoenix is a failed experiment, I'll be stunned if they ever have a large fan base. Nashville, on the other hand, is well on their way to a large, devoted fan base.
Expansion to Markham might not be the slam-dunk success everyone thinks it would be. Interest in the Leafs is certainly overwhelming but no other Toronto area teams seem to do well in terms of fan support. I would expect the Marlies games to be well attended but, last time I checked, the junior teams in 4 other Canadian NHL markets consistently outdrew them, and probably still do.

"Come Fly With Us" Australia's New International Airline Launches Recruitment Drive25/02/2008
V Australia, Virgin Blue's long haul airline, has kicked off a major recruitment drive for cabin crew and pilots.
V Australia, set to launch flights between Australia and the United States of America later this year, will formally advertise from this week inviting applications for cabin crew member positions, including Flight Managers, Cabin Leaders and Cabin Crew, to join Australia's newest international airline as it ramps up preparations for take-off in the fourth quarter of 2008.
The long haul carrier has already received thousands of expressions of interest from both experienced 777-300ER pilots and cabin crew who are currently flying for airlines around the world. There has also been great enthusiasm and interest from pilots and cabin crew within the Virgin Blue ranks.
The airline has already commenced recruitment of pilots, including training captains and senior flight operations team members.
V Australia Airlines will initially recruit 280 cabin crew and 100 pilots to operate the first three aircraft and they will join the existing 100 strong V Australia team working on the airline's launch.
The recruitment drive follows the recent Open Skies agreement between the Australia and US Governments paving the way for V Australia Airlines as a majority Australian owned airline to decide where, when and how often it flies to the United States.
V Australia Airlines has ordered seven new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft to operate trans-Pacific flights. The aircraft is one of the most popular in the world and V Australia Airlines will be the first and only airline to operate the aircraft type between Australia and the US.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, "Following the Open Skies agreement, we are escalating our recruitment drive for the team who will be the public face of V Australia, it's a really exciting opportunity to join a new international airline team from day one."
He continued, "We will be contacting the pilots and cabin crew who were pro-active and got in early by contacting us to express their interest in V Australia.
"There has been a lot of interest from throughout Australia and around the world due to the lifestyle opportunities of an Australian base, combined with the opportunity to be part of a completely new airline from the beginning and to crew one of the world's best airliners.
"We are now formally inviting applications to satisfy our recruitment needs in both the short and long term and are seeking high calibre applicants who are the right fit, who are excited by the profession and who would help build the success of V Australia from day one."
Mr Godfrey said V Australia Airlines will be looking for a mix of experienced cabin crew and also people who many have never flown before but who have a vibrant, fresh and passionate personality and are looking for a new career and just such an exciting opportunity.
V Australia Airlines will shortly announce its launch routes, first fares and product details.
