Ever wonder why Americans are so convinced it's a bad thing to live in a more "liberal" country.
Those "liberal"countries enjoy a better quality of life than our system provides.
When you travel through their countries that find our refusal to improve the lives of most Americans, to make a few of us wealthy beyond dreams, proof that we just aren't that smart.

Informed opinion you lose the general public when you even say the word socialist. We as a country have been taught to link socialism to Hitler to scare the uninformed public. If they knew anything about history then they would know that in the depression era Germany was the only country that was prosperous under his socialist government. He destroyed it with his hate and at the same time destroyed the ideology that socialism is good. Capitalism is defined to me as greed and is destroying not only our moral values, but our country as well. It will fall just as all the greedy empires have in the past. It's just a matter of time. Alot of modern advancements have been originated in Germany like space travel. Why not a proven better form of Government? Capitalism is nothing more than government-granted monopoly of the american economy to the top 400. Informed opinion I'm with you only we better be quite or we they might send a drone to our house to blow it up. Good day and God bless.

By your comments you're showing that you're filled with nothing but hate for your fellow man. You are the reason why the Republican party is becoming obsolete. You hate most americans.

You can't eat that pure silver coin and when this country goes under and folks are breaking into any and all stores grapping any food they can find gold and silver will not cause the store owner to hold everyone back and let you come in cause you got gold and silver. No , when their is total caos and mayhem in this country you better have a place to hide stocked with food and water that no one knows about. You say call the police! They will be robbing and stealing trying to feed their families too. You folks don't know how carnal mankind will become when their are no cell phones, or food.

You liberals surely do know a lot about hate. You preach hate day in and day out on Topix. The liberal's two defining mantras: You are filled with HATE.
You are RACIST.
You seem to think when you sling those two sentences into a debate,it gives you some sort of leg up. That you receive some sort of "advantage". All it really does is show how well indoctrinated you are.

Skip to comments.Obama--64,175,423 Romney--60,044,046
Posted on 11/26/2012 8:18:38 PM PST by ReaganÜberAlles
Still not finalized.
So Obama lost 5.3 million votes, and Romney got about 200,000 MORE than McCain but not enough.
Imagine if Romney did not have morons around him like all the consultants and idiots like Eric Fehernstrom who told the world to ignore everything Romney said in the primaries because they would Etch-a-Sketch everything he had said when the general election came along.
That alone probably made 5 million people, like Reagan Democrats, stay home.
Zero's lead keeps getting bigger. Why? I suspect that the late counted absentee ballots and conditional votes are going to Zero in a big way. This would be your fraudulent votes. Any comments?
Leip is far behind Wasserman (who is doing continuous county-by-county updates).
It's Obama 64,811,843 and Romney 60,444,303, and 2,186,461 Other.
The "vote thrower-awayers" are surprisingly numerous and much higher than 2008. It's overwhelmingly for Johnson, so people shouldn't kid themselves that a "true social conservative" would have gotten those votes.
Why are the red and blue colors reversed? That was a scary map until I realized the switch.
Why would one bother with illegal activity if the vote is already decided?
What's the vote total for 0bama vs. Romney in the Swing States only? How many fraudulent 0bama votes were there? I'd imagine a heavy 'union voter fraud' MACHINE was working overtime, especially during EARLY VOTING.. GOTTA HAVE THAT EARLY VOTING AND SUPPRESSION OF MILITARY VOTES.
Red is the color of socialism. They used to switch back and forth on the colors, it wasn't until 2000 and Tim Russert the Republicans got stuck with Red, which is idiotic.
"Any comments?"
My thoughts are that even after they pulled out all of the stops they could, including voter fraud and the undying support of the media, the left barely squeaked out a <2% victory with an incumbent. Take away the effects of the storm, put in actual journalism in the coverage of Benghazi, and take away the attempts to hide the true economic numbers and this percentage flips pretty quickly. We should stop with all the hand wringing around here and realize that at least half the country is on our side - and we can turn things around with good strategic decisions, and the right candidates.
I can explain that simply:
(just joking ... sort of)
It's Obama 22,846,836 and Romney 21,085,930 in the swing states.
Red is usually the color of the incumbent.
When the absentee ballots and provisional ballots were filled out the vote totals had not been determined yet. The strategy, pretty obviously would be amass large amounts of additional votes in case they came into play such as with Florida in 2000 and Illinois in 1960.
On Saturday I saw (in San Francisco) a twentysomething guy wearing a "Gary Johnson 2012" T-shirt.
Thanks, I've been looking for more recent numbers. Make a post of that site here why don't ya?
In the old days they used to use blue for the Republicans and red for the Democrats. I've read that it was John Chancellor of NBC News who came up with the idea. See this example from NBC's 1980 election coverage, which has the map all blue for Reagan:
Not really sure why they switched.
Leip probably made a lot of his maps back before the colors were reversed, and decided to keep using blue for GOP and red for Dems for his new maps.
Headline: Romney beats McCain!
A few more votes to roll in, and he will have also beaten GWB's 62 million vote total from 2004, and be the highest GOP vote-getter in history!
Another successful campaign from your friends at GOP-e!
They really outdid themselves this year.
You'd be surprised.
Te Red for Republicans took hold firmly in the Bush-Gore 2000 election. But even then there was noo common ground. On election night, several networks had Republicans as blue on their maps.
With its socialist-marxist leanings, red is more appropriate for democrats. As you mention, prior to the 1980s, blue was the Republican color on the three networks and in the color print media.
I simply am not convinced of any significant voter fraud. I AM convinced the GOP elite stuck us with a flaming idiot for a candidate. We lost because of what we were selling, not voter fraud. I suggest we actually, I dunno, try selling conservatism next time.
The voter fraud thing is just a canard.
Massachusetts should be pink.
That's pretty close.
Get ready! I agree with you about the voter fraud canard. We might be the only 2 guys here that believe that. I mentioned this on another thread and got abused:).
Axelrod was interviewed on local Chicago news tonight. He said the reason Romney lost was because of the big Republican gains in '10. It forced Romney to move to the right to reflect those gains and get the support of the voters. And it turned off those in the middle. HA! I think it had more to do with Axelrod demonizing Romney/Ryan and attracting enough new low information voters to win. Obama couldn't run on his record so he divided everyone by race, gender, sex, etc. Good luck governing the mess you made, Barry,
What % of the voter-aged (= registered and unregistered) pool voted in this election?
CA had a big chunk of the later reported votes. Obama beat Romney 61% to 37% in CA.
Maybe it was because blue is a more calming color and they needed to get us all calm before they began hypnotizing their mind-numbed robots.
Oh, but the lamestream media said Odumba has a mandate and that the GOP is a dead party, this, this can't be true! Our Republican leadership had better stand up to these libtards, the fight is not over!
Yeah, the GOPe proved that can't even win against Jimmy Carter, when we are on the verge of a depression and his voters stay home.
Way to go losers.
Been looking for that stat myself.
Mitt could hardly BE mushy enough to grab the Obama base if they weren't already fed up with Obama and just wanting something else.
Mitt's potential base was still bigger. But he only pumped it feebly where it counted: the main vote. It's a don't-count-your-chickens warning.
Here in Virginia it varied from about 50% in reliably red counties where Obama's war on coal should ave motivated a few more voters to 60% in the black and blue cities like Petersburg. In my own reddish rural county it was Romney 60-40 with 17k out of voting age 29k. Our lib/black precinct had much longer lines than elsewhere but I don't have numerical breakdowns for that yet.
One Obama voter I am forced to deal with said it was because "Romney lies". I asked what he specifically lied about and she said "everything". I couldn't press it further, but I was not aware she was liberal although I knew she was stupid for various reasons.
California is the last state to complete their count. And Zero won California going away.
One word...FRAUD plain and simple.
It takes a lot of time to alter that many ballots from republican to democrat.
Who cares? It is all bullsit anyway.
Perhaps the gloom and doom naysayers are right.
There is no hope. Forget it.
They went all out to steal the election by voter fraud. They are laughing their a**** off at us 'sore losers'. Their lamestream media will make sure we are utterly defeated and humiliated if we even dare to say a word.....
Don't even think of taking measures to prevent future voter fraud, because we have no 'established leaders', no media help....Don't be naive or living in fantasy-land.....
Admit defeat.
Is this what you gloom and doom naysayers want to hear?
Looking at the state level table - the election turned on 463,512 votes in CO, FL, OH & VA. That is an electoral squeaker.
Thanks, FRiend. PING me when you find that stat. Thanks!
If half of us voted then that means that 1 out of 4 of us choose how the other 3 are allowed to live - - - .
PING me if you find that stat. Thanks.
"Looking at the state level table - the election turned on 463,512 votes in CO, FL, OH & VA. That is an electoral squeaker."
Winning by that many votes from the millions cast is very fraud-worthy.
I think it is past time for conservatives to stand up and DEMAND that the Electoral College delay its judgement until this election can be thoroughly investigated.
Can we do a MARCH ON WASHINGTON in time?
Excellent idea. THIS ELECTION SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. However, anyone calling for that would be immediately labeled as 'racist'. Susan Rice LIED to the American people to enable 0bama's re-election in exchange for a promotion and.. We're 'racist' for questioning her cover-up?? Perhaps Glenn Beck can get something started.. I do not believe 0bama won this election without FRAUD orchestrated by his union CHEATS.
AGREED. Nullify the fraudulent votes and Romney won this election.
It means it is time to consider what we do when the ballot box is broken.

Posted on 01/20/2013 7:50:05 AM PST by stevie_d_64
SAN FRANCISCO/NEW YORK (Reuters) - In tracking down illegal weapons, the smoking gun may not be a gun at all.
Bullets are one thing Sacramento Police Detective Greg Halstead can count on to root out weapons that otherwise would be impossible to find. They are also largely missing from the gun control debate in Washington.
Since 2008, California's capital has required ammunition dealers to take names and thumbprints of bullet buyers. They send the information electronically to police computers, which compare the names to an FBI criminal database.
Halstead begins his day looking at a list of buyers, picking out the ones who aren't supposed to own ammunition - or guns. The thumbprint left by each prohibited buyer is nearly perfect evidence of crime.
"The ammunition case is a slam-dunk solid," said Halstead, who regularly turns up illegal guns at homes he otherwise would have no reason to search. Some 154 felony convictions and 92 misdemeanor convictions have resulted so far.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Well, there's an admission that California is keeping a database of ammunition buyers. Any surprise that gun rights groups would be adamantly against universal background checks being proposed by the Obama administration?
This does nothing but to increase my resolve to buy even more ammunition on a regular cash-basis as long as that is still an option.
The author claims that this California 'official' thinks the lifetime of a bullet is only 'days' ......he could not be more wrong.
Exactly! When somebody murders another person with a hammer, they always leave out the nails. When they kill someone with a baseball bat, they always leave out the baseballs. We need to start tracking hammer and baseball bat owners by checking into who is buying nails and baseballs.
CA has;
Handgun registration
Will have long gun registration in 2014
All firearms sales must go thru a dealer
(some curio long guns exempt)
10 day waiting period
Approved handgun roster
10 round magazine limit
Basically a gun grabbers dream recipe.

"Since 2008...."
"Some 154 felony convictions and 92 misdemeanor convictions have resulted so far."
OK, have no problem with the 143 felony convictions. Felons are not allowed to own weapons. BUT, that is a really small number for a state like CA for a 4 year time span. And what were the 92 misdemeanor convictions? Somehow I am not impressed. And remember this is from Reuters. (anti gun bias)
There was a time when a man could go into any hardware store and buy four cartridges to go deer hunting. Then the 1968 Gun Control Act required record keeping of all ammo sold, so hardware stores began to require you to buy a full box.
You also could not buy handguns, rifles or shotguns across state lines.
Then in the 1980s, Ronald Reagan signed a new law that did away with the record keeping of ammo, and allowed you to buy rifles and shotguns only across state lines.
I can't tell for certain if the claim is that the thumbprint at purchase requirement has resulted in the 246 convictions. One suspects some Clintonian parsing here.
Years ago I used to reload bullets I dug out from an old military shooting range backstop. Many were still in good shape, only having rifling on them. Others were so damaged I melted them down and cast new bullets.
I still know where there are thousands of spent bullets in the ground. Then I also used lead lining from building insulation designed for noise suppression.
Then there is plumber's lead and lead solder.
All that to get around the Public's rejection of a handgun ban back in 1982. Remember Proposition 15?
I still remember the good old days when we were promised that the Government ONLY wanted to register handguns. Long guns would not be affected they said.
Anyone remember years ago (1990s) when the FEDs seized several train car loads on Ammunition because it was made in China and forbidden in the US?
We saw lots of news reels on the seized cars on the MSM to the joy of the news reporters.
Anyone remember what happened to those car loads of ammo?
They looked at the head stamp, and Uh ho, it was legal Russian ammo. They had to give it all back.
And registration won't lead to confiscation. Remember the SKS mandatory buyback?
I used this with him, and now my son-in-law is practicing for the time when he'll have to tell his 3 daughters' prospective dates "I ain't got no problem going back to prision....." [BTW, I am assuming you are/were a guard....ha ha]
Or ammunition. And they know it. Federal offense. 18 USC 922(g)
(g) It shall be unlawful for any person--A few points. The courts have ruled that ANY possession affects commerce, so a product that never leaves one state is still properly an object for federal prohibition; and all you pot smokers out there, who possess arms or ammo, you are committing a federal felony.
(1) who has been convicted in any court of, a crime punishable by imprisonment for a term exceeding one year;
(2) who is a fugitive from justice;
(3) who is an unlawful user of or addicted to any controlled substance (as defined in section 102 of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 802)); ...
to ship or transport in interstate or foreign commerce, or possess in or affecting commerce, any firearm or ammunition; or to receive any firearm or ammunition which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign commerce.
That's really inconventient, not to be able to buy a firearm from your local gun dealer.
This I realize...and while it could save money, I've decided I have too doggone many interests that cost me a lot of money.....guns, bayonets, fighting knives....leather holster making, gunsmithing (e.g., rebuilding Garands and Carbines - upgrading 1911s, et al)....I just can't afford another full setup of stuff (I'm somewhat OCD on this - whenever I start up with something, I get the best of everything I think I'll need)....
I've shot straight wheel weight cast bullets from a .41mag with little to no leading problems.
Spending $500 bucks now if better than giving the govt your fingerprint later.
After centuries of trying, the alchemist's dream may come true: lead will be the new gold.
I think wheel weights are now being made with zinc and lead.
Probably for epa/lead problems.
Sure messes up a pot of lead.
Yes, for state and federal. C/LEO for 28 yrs and that phrase has worked on many a young person, compliance in and out.
Do you remember how many rounds and what caliber the feds bought up last year. Apparently they got all surplus on hand and is probably the reason .223 is over 100% more expensive if you can find it.
I haven't done any casting myself for several years now. Still have my molds and getting ready to buy some more for different cal.
As far as I know, here in Texas the WW haven't changed since a lot of people still use straight WW for cast bullets.
Wheel weights too. I still have a big can of them from when I worked at gas stations in high school.
The herd in the Republic of California needs to be thinned. Apparently AIDS didn't do its job on all the queers living there. The patriots in CA need to ban together and start fighting this evil.
Private citizens have been stockpiling, and not just .223 but everything, because they knew the day was coming.
Us "gun nuts" have been proved right and it's just a matter of time before us "SHTF nuts" are also proved right.
The day is coming.
Those of us with the beans and bullets will soon be laughing at those without.
When we were applying for our FFL license last summer, the feds found a 39 year old felony on my husband. This drug felony was to be purged from his records upon completion of his sentencing, community service and probation). The state legislature, Washington state, 9 years later overturned all purged felonies for rapists, murderers and drug convictions, needless to say they made my husband a felon 9 years after he was cleared.
It obviously came up in the FFL background check. The ATF agent working on our license said that until we got this cleared up with the state, if the feds were to come to our home and we had any guns, collectors or otherwise, any ammunition or spent shells anywhere on our land, 80 acres, they would throw my husband in jail.
.40cal HP was the predominant caliber, but there were others, too:
Lots of articles, here:
Registration in city of Sacramento only.
Pure lead "smears" and solder has tin in it to promote adhesion of the solder to other metals (it "wets" the surface). However some tin is desirable in a bullet alloy, just avoid using solder as the only alloy in your bullets.
You can add antimony to lead and increase its hardness which will prevent undo smearing. The good news is that wheel weights (used to balance auto/truck tires) are an alloy of lead and antimony and are usually replaced with new when re-balancing your tires. The result is garages tend to wind up with bucket loads of them which aren't easy to get rid of because of the toxic lead. Look around and you'll probably find someone who will give you all you'll ever need.
You'll need to melt the wheel weights down in a cast iron pot to separate the alloy from the steel mounting clips which sink to the bottom. Before pouring off the alloy, skim off the dross which is the crud floating on the molten alloy, then pour the alloy into an ingot mold. You can make a mold from a short piece of angle iron with flat steel caps welded on the open ends of the angle iron. The end caps should be long enough to act as feet to hold the mold facing upward.
You should check reloading manuals for a good bullet alloy recipe. The basic ingredients being pure lead, wheel weights, and soft bar solider (typically 60/40 lead to tin ratio). The manual should give you information on the percentage of antimony to lead in the weights so you can calculate the proper amount of the ingot you made to add to the pure lead and bar solder to make bullet casting alloy.
I failed English. I meant ONLY rifles and shotguns could now be bought across state lines. Not handguns.

Bear Valley, CA...Hey Good People! Expect possible delays with Mtn Operations today's with increasing winds and snowfall 7" of new snow as of 5am this morning overnight and 10" in the last 24hrs. A mix of rain /snow is expected through the day today as the warm air aloft arrives with a projected snow elevation level of 7000'. 1-3" of snow is possible today with a 50/50 chance that it could go either way today being full rain or snow., we'll just have to wait and see how it plays out over the next few hours. The expected high is suggested to be 36F and falling to 28F by 3pm or so. Winds will be out of the South from 18-23mph with gusts to 34mph. Tonight will continue with a mix of rain and snow as the temp will again rise to around 38F during the early morning of Tuesday coupled with high winds in the 40-48mph range with gusts to 75mph and continuing out of the South. Tuesday could drop another 7-11" of new snow as the temps fluctuate and winds will again be out of the South from 31-36mph with gusts to 55mph. The Lower Mtn will be on hold today due to the higher elevation snow levels as concerns there are Avalanche related. It's been a handful of years since we've seen these type of events so expect some possible delays with operations in and around the resort over the next 4-5 days. Someone's been talking to Ullr............ Come up to Bear Valley and experience our local "Pure Mtn Fun" ethos and stay tuned..........

Work Continues Round The Clock On Damaged Oroville Spillway
Posted by: thepinetree on 02/20/2017 07:29 AM
Oroville, CA...Flow from the Oroville Dam Flood Control Spillway will remain at 55,000 cfs and continue to outpace the inflow encountered. The reduction in flow has allowed assessment teams to view debris buildup and dredge debris piles below the flood control spillway. Lake elevations continue trending downward and had fallen to 852 feet, by 4:00 this morning, 48 feet below the emergency spillway. As runoff flows into the reservoir, water levels will likely fluctuate but will remain within acceptable and typical depths during times of storm activity. Despite current inclement weather, work continues on the area below the spillway, the monoliths, access roads, and various eroded areas created by emergency spillway runoff. Rock, aggregate, and cement slurry continue to be placed into areas affected by erosion. This work will continue 24 hours a day.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
In order to alleviate a problem with the growth of algae during the summer months Green River City is looking at lining the ponds at their water treatment plant. During the April Green River City Council meeting, Conae Black, city recorder, explained the reason for the public hearing. She said according to the Community Block Grant Development guidelines, public hearings must be held throughout the process of a grant application and the actual construction phase of a project. This is to be the final public hearing on this project before implementation.
The reason for algae growth being that part of the ponds are not concrete and this poses a problem for the cleaning of the ponds. During the summer, algae growth proliferates and the parts of the ponds that are not concrete are impossible to clean. The grant has been applied for and secured to rectify the problem and to alleviate any concerns about Green River citizen safety.
During the public hearing, no citizens stepped forward to comment. The hearing was closed and the council proceeded into regular meeting.
Joni Pace of the Green River Community Center named Kiersten Ford and Cheyenne Robinson as the volunteers of the month. The two were given certificates of achievement from the council.
A Green River Chamber of Commerce was recently organized. Connie Copenhaver, secretary of the chamber, explained the chamber's desire to become involved in the Melon Days Celebration. This group is just getting started and is willing to help in any way the council may need.
Copenhaver suggested several changes the chamber has noted could possibly make the celebration more successful and locally oriented. Some suggestions were to extend the celebration to four days, move several events to the Thursday and expand to encompass the entire town as far as the vendors are concerned. She also suggested one goal would be to expand the parade and offer prizes for the entrants.
Kerry Bigelow, councilman over the celebration was not present, but Blaine Evans, councilman over the pageant, expressed his appreciation for the chamber's offer to help. A meeting will be scheduled as soon as possible for all parties involved in the preparation of Melon Days.
Mary Wilmarth, of PACT, requested funding from the council for pre-development of the project to construct the Green River Community Life Center. Mayor Glen Dale Johnson explained that a full quorum is not present and this matter was tabled. Wilmarth stated that there is a very narrow window in which to apply for tax credits.
Trent Fluckey informed the council that WW Clyde, the company doing the rotomill project on I-70 has rescinded their offer to place the rotomill material in Green River. The last proposal was that they would unload all the material in the same place outside of town. This will create a problem as Green River has not budgeted any funds for the distribution of the material. The council decided to let out bids for the distribution of the rotomill material and try to find the money in the budget.
In an ongoing request from the Emery County Commissioners for residential water rate consideration for the sheriff's office building in Green River, Mayor Johnson suggested a workable plan. The existing building uses more water than the allowed 9,000 gallons on a commercial hookup. The bulk of the water is used for outside watering. According to city regulations for water usage over 9,000 gallons, a user is charged the entire base rate for every 9,000 gallons of overage.
As the sheriff's office building was using upwards of 60,000 gallons per month for lawn watering, their bill was considerable. Mayor Johnson suggested the city give Emery County Sheriff's Office a residential sewer hookup and a commercial water rate. This would lower that overage charge. The council approved the plan.
The city council did not reach an agreement concerning entering into a contract with Sunrise Engineering for the building inspections in the city.
City employee reports began with Verna Watterson of the JWPRH Museum. She reported that a Joe Venus art show will be at the museum in June and will be open for entries in many divisions for all ages. Heritage Days will be held at the museum from July 22-24. John Wesley Powell Days will be held June 18-19 at the museum.
Christine Monroe, of the Green River Community Center reported on the number of visitors and meals the center had served over the past month. She also reported that the center oversees five VISTA positions. She is looking into one of those positions for the museum. Engaging Community, a conference held in Salt Lake City, was attended by five of the center's people.
Fluckey reported concerning the airport that AT&T paid Green River to take the building and that there is already a company interested in leasing the building.
Councilman Dan Harrison reported that the repairs on the 650 feet of sewer lines are nearly completed. One portion that remains in the concrete around the manholes.
Mayor Johnson announced that a hearing with the White Sands people will be held on May 18 at 2 p.m. at the Green River City Hall for city and county officials. That same evening at 7 p.m., a public hearing will be held at the JWPRH Museum. He also announced that UTEX has paid the city for the rides and attractions during Green River Melon Days and also paid the tipping fee for their first year at the landfill site.
The next Green River City Council meeting will be held May 11 at 6 p.m. in the city hall building.

I noticed that I have 16 credits and I was wondering what I should spend them on.
Would it be better to spend 10 credits to recieve 1,000 clintz or save up and spend 20 credits to buy a booster pack?
You only have 12 characters, buy a pack. unless you want to save up for certain cards, then you should buy clintz.
Its always a good idea to save for 50credits booster... (that is what i think)
Ahh.. but if i have only 9 cards and I buy a pack, will have Master status??

Nissan Passion Genome to Link People and Their Passions Using Social Media
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Our passions are what make us who we are. They add purpose, perspective and joy to our lives, they bring us closer to our friends and relatives and they spark connections between perfect strangers. To release the power of our passions and demonstrate how shared interests bring people together - and to promote the all-new 2014 Versa Note - Nissan is launching an interactive and shareable social media experience known as the Passion Genome.
Via Facebook and at PassionGenome.com, participants will see the passions they share with their friends illustrated in a Passion Portrait, a personalized, interactive visualization of themselves. After exploring their top-six passion categories, users can explore the entire Passion Genome to see where they fit within an expanded virtual universe of people and passions from across the world. Anyone who creates a Passion Portrait and shares it via Facebook or Twitter using the #MyPassionPortrait hashtag will be entered for a chance to win one of eight $1,000 gift cards from Amazon.com and have their portraits featured on PassionGenome.com.
"We are all part of a greater whole, and the rapid growth of social networks has made that clearer than ever before," said Jon Brancheau, vice president, Marketing, Nissan North America. "The Passion Genome displays passions and connections in an extraordinary and fascinating way, and we at Nissan can't wait to see how it resonates with everyone who explores it."
The Passion Genome was inspired by the 2014 Nissan Versa Note, a second-generation hatchback with a sculpted, modern and energetic look that reflects the active lives of its target buyers. The Versa Note is an exceptional combination of versatility, technology and value that boasts a substantial 40 miles per gallon (mpg) highway fuel economy and best-in-class total interior volume.*
It's a kid friendly and adult-comfortable vehicle that enables owners to take their friends and family anywhere they want to go. The Versa Note is your door to doing more of all the things you love to do.

Ospreys survived a second-half Treviso comeback to earn a 38-17 bonus-point victory in their Heineken Cup opener.
Ospreys survived a second-half Treviso comeback to earn a 38-17 bonus-point victory in their Heineken Cup opener.
Dan Biggar's trusted boot gave Ospreys the early breathing space they needed, as his hat-trick of penalties arrived only 15 minutes into the game.
Kris Burton kicked a penalty of his own just minutes before Eli Walker produced the first talking point of the game, evading four tackles as he ran inside from his wing to dot down next to the posts for the game's first try.
Both sides were reduced to 14 men as the Ospreys' Adam Jones and Treviso captain Antonio Pavanello were yellow carded for swapping punches, while the Italians were reduced even further with the sin-binning of Manoa Vosawai on his return to the side after a shoulder injury.
At 16-3 up on the half-time whistle, Ospreys took the game to Treviso with their second try five minutes into the second period. Hanno Dirksen went over in the corner, and with Biggar's second conversion of the night, Treviso were staring at a 23-3 deficit.
But that galvanised the Italians, as they came back with two tries; Vosawai making amends for his earlier indiscretion, before Luke McLean scored his first Heineken Cup try.
Both scores were converted by Burton, so with only a six-point advantage going into the final phase of the game, Ospreys had to pull something out the bag.

The Wisconsin region was first explored for France by Jean Nicolet, who landed at Green Bay in 1634. In 1660 a French trading post and Roman Catholic mission were established near present-day Ashland.
Great Britain obtained the region in settlement of the French and Indian Wars in 1763; the U.S. acquired it in 1783 after the Revolutionary War. However, Great Britain retained actual control until after the War of 1812. The region was successively governed as part of the territories of Indiana, Illinois, and Michigan between 1800 and 1836, when it became a separate territory.
Wisconsin is a leading state in milk and cheese production. Other important farm products are peas, beans, beets, corn, potatoes, oats, hay, and cranberries.
The chief industrial products of the state are automobiles, machinery, furniture, paper, beer, and processed foods. Wisconsin ranks first among the paper-producing states. The state's mines produce copper, iron ore, lead, and zinc.
Wisconsin is a pioneer in social legislation, providing pensions for the blind (1907), aid to dependent children (1913), and old-age assistance (1925). In labor legislation, the state was the first to enact an unemployment compensation law (1932) and the first in which a workman's compensation law actually took effect. In 1984, Wisconsin became the first state to adopt the Uniform Marital Property Act.
The state has over 14,000 lakes, of which Winnebago is the largest. Water sports, ice-boating, and fishing are popular, as are skiing and hunting. The 95 state parks, forests, and recreation areas take up one-seventh of the land.
Among the many points of interest are the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore; Ice Age National Scientific Reserve; the Circus World Museum at Baraboo; the Wolf, St. Croix, and Lower St. Croix national scenic riverways; and the Wisconsin Dells.
For several weeks in early 2011, tens of thousands of state employees and teachers staged protests in Madison, Wisconsin, camping out near the Capitol's rotunda. They were protesting Governor Scott Walker's plan to cut collective bargaining rights and workers' benefits in an effort to solve the state's budget problems. The protests received international attention, especially from countries like Egypt, which were involved in their own political uprisings at the same time.
In June 2012, Scott Walker became the first governor in U.S. history to survive a recall election. Once again he beat Tom Barrett, mayor of Milwaukee and Walker's 2010 opponent.

"Looked better online. Liked the shade of gray and the heel height, but other than that, I thought they looked cheap and dated. I wanted to love them, as I've been trying to find the perfect gray tall boots, but...returning them."

Nice boot!
"My legs are on the bigger side for my body anyway, so was hesitant with all the comments on how narrow the boot was but took a chance cause I wanted a nice grey boot but thought i'd go up 1/2 size and glad I did. Fit's good, like that the heel is not too high(I'm used to warring higher, but thicker for balance). I wouldn't call this a wide boot though more average, snug on me but I have big legs. Overall good purchase for look & price!"

Hoodie-Wearing Queen Elizabeth Spotted Rollin' in Her Range Rover
It's something of an open secret that Queen Elizabeth II has an affinity for the British car manufacturer Land Rover, and can occasionally be spotted behind the wheel of one Range Rover or another.
Such was the case today, when the Queen was caught on camera rollin' with her homies while sporting what appears to be a gray hooded sweatshirt.
Sadly, Her Majesty opted not to display her much more secret affinity for ghost-riding the whip.
