Some believe that the "birthers" should be embarrassed. They believe that Obama could have released his birth certificate a long time ago, but instead suckered the "birthers" in and then at the opportune time, released the document for maximum political gain. They conclude that Obama is a very clever guy and has therefore won the birth certificate game.
At worst, this is Obama's enablers' continuing fraudulent cover for Obama and at best their wishful thinking regarding his hoped-for political cunningness.
Obama is not clever at all. It took him over 2 and ½ years to finally release his long-form Certificate of Live Birth. I do not believe he held on to that certificate for some political advantage. Even if the birth certificate is real, he has lost millions of voters for his cowardly conduct in not releasing it in due course to the people he is supposed to serve like a normal Presidential candidate should. His conduct is even more reprehensible given that his alleged long-form Certificate of Live Birth does not contain any information which he would have had any interest in keeping confidential and he has caused our nation to lose incalculable millions of dollars in public and private time and resources arguing about his birth certificate. And let us not forget that he allowed a highly decorated military officer, LTC Terry Lakin, to go to prison for 6 months rather than just release the document.
Even though Obama has released a computer scan of his alleged long-form Certificate of Live Birth, there is still an open question whether the underlying paper birth certificate is real. We can hardly say that it is real when the underlying paper document which was supposed to be filled in with a typewriter in 1961 shows evidence of kerning (a certain way letters are graphically printed which cannot be done with a typewriter in 1961).
But in the end, even if the birth certificate is real, it proves Obama is not an Article II "natural born Citizen," a child born in the U.S. or its jurisdictional equivalent to a U.S. citizen father and mother. This means that a "natural born Citizen" inherits his or her allegiance and U.S. citizenship from being born to U.S. citizen parents and from being born on U.S. soil rather than acquiring them from a positive law which is what a naturalized citizen does. This positive law naturalizes a person to be a U.S. citizen "at birth" when he or she is born abroad to one or two U.S. citizen parents (missing U.S. place of birth and in some cases also at the same time only having one U.S. citizen parent) or born in the U.S. to one or two alien parents (missing two U.S. citizen parents).
Obama's father was born in 1934 or 1936 in the British colony of Kenya. Under the British Nationality Act of 1948, he was born a British citizen (a "Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies"). While he came temporarily to America on a student visa to study, he never became nor ever intended to become a U.S. citizen. Hence, when Obama was born, his father was a British citizen, and under that same Act Obama himself inherited from his father British citizenship. Obama, if born in Hawaii, therefore, did not inherit his U.S. citizenship from his natural parents but rather acquired it by positive law, i.e., the 14th Amendment or 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1401(a), which naturalizes persons who are born in the U.S. but lack two U.S. citizen parents to be U.S. citizens "at birth." Hence, Obama can be a "citizen" under the 14th Amendment or 8 U.S.C. Sec. 1401(a), but he is not an Article II "natural born" citizen. Obama is therefore not eligible to be President and Commander of our military forces.
Obama loses any way he turns or pretends to turn.

Obsessed with the mint trend
"Saw these and needed them! I feel like they are a teeensy bit on the short/narrow spectrum, but only a little. Love that the heel is not 4.5 inches like the majority of cute shoes I see.Also, huge props to making the bottom with a bit of gel so they are more stable to walk in."

Treat yourself.
"I bought these shoes for myself as a treat for starting a new job. They're absolutely adorable, not to mention very high quality and comfy! These heels are well worth the money, as they have a solid slip-resistant sole, cushioned insoles, and a beautiful leather exterior. I typically wear a 6.5 or 7 in heels, and found that the 6.5 were a bit snug on my feet. I exchanged for size 7, which aside from my heel coming out a little when I walk, fit beautifully. I'll just put an insert on the heel to keep them from slipping if it becomes a problem. Bottom line - I love these shoes."

Color was unexpected
"In person, the color looks much more seafoam green (lots of yellow in the green) rather than the cool minty color shown. I was disappointed so I'm taking them back. Love the wood heel though! I put that I WOULD recommend these to a friend - because color is just a personal preference."

This is one of the earliest of a number of Constable's 1821 cloud studies in which he included a margin of land or treetops along the bottom of the image. Here he depicted the sunlight catching the tops of the small cumulus clouds, using long, sweeping brushstrokes in the upper right to express the movement of the clouds in the wind. There is good agreement between Constable's inscription and the weather records for the London area on that day, which suggest it was a fine day with some cloud, warm temperatures and high humidity. The streets of small cumulus clouds are typical of a light westerly wind (Thornes 1999, pp. 224–25).
On 17 October 1820 Constable painted his first known dated oil sketch at Hampstead in which he recorded weather effects, Sketch at Hampstead, stormy sunset (Victoria and Albert Museum, London).He continued his systematic study of changing skies over the following two years. On 23 October 1821 he wrote to John Fisher:
I have done a good deal of skying– I am determined to conquer all difficulties and that most arduous one among the rest, & now talking of skies – …That Landscape painter who does not make his skies a very material part of his composition – neglects to avail himself of one of his greatest aids.Sir Joshua Reynolds, speaking of the 'Landscape' of Titian& Salvator & Claude– says 'Even their skies seem to sympathise with the Subject' …It will be difficult to name a class of Landscape,in which the sky is not the'key note' – the standard of 'Scale', and the chief 'Organ of sentiment'… The sky is the 'source of light' in nature – and governs every thing. Even our common observations on the weather of every day, are suggested by them but it does not occur to us (Beckett VI, pp. 76–77).
Constable considered that: 'Nature is never seen, in this climate at least, to greater perfection than at about nine o'clock in the mornings of July and August, when the sun has gained sufficient strength to give splendour to the landscape, :still gemmed with the morning dew"', without its oppressive heat; and it is still more delightful if vegetation has been refreshed with a shower during the night' (Beckett, Discourses, p. 17).Although he painted this sketch a little later in the day – between 10 and 11 am, and in early September – Constable has captured the freshness of the morning sky.
As with this work, Constable painted many of his cloud studies in about an hour. His reference here to 'rain in the night following' indicates that the inscription was added a day or so after 'Sepr 11', and that in making these cloud studies he was not only interested in weather conditions at the time of painting, but also the weather before and after that time. He was interested in changing conditions, in fluctuating moments, shifting effects of light and shade – and how these impacted on a landscape.

"My son really likes to be able to slip the shoe on quick and be on his way. The laces are a little long for a slip on shoe. Had to tie them up in a couple knots. I like that the back is higher than a low cut shoe but not quite a mid. Makes for the heel going in and out a lot more durable."

Bonnie and Michael McGoon see their involvement in the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA) as a "family affair." In their household, Mike and Bonnie have tried to instill a spirit of giving both time and resources. "It is important for us to send a message to our children about giving to the people and places that have impacted their own life as well as the lives of those close to them," Bonnie said.
As a tangible expression of their giving philosophy Mike and Bonnie made the decision to include PHA in their estate plans. As members of PHA's Legacy of Hope Society, Bonnie and Mike are making a statement about the importance of planning for the future. In exploring the question, "Why are we here?," the McGoons came to believe that "it is to have something to contribute for the next generation, something to live on after us."
Mike's first leadership role with PHA was as a member of PHA's Scientific Advisory Board (now known as the Scientific Leadership Council). Mike then became a member of PHA's Board of Trustees, which he chaired from 2006-2008. "PHA is a unique organization, " Mike says. "From a medical perspective it is amazing to see an organization made up of patients, caregivers, researchers, physicians and allied health professionals working together toward a common goal."
Bonnie's involvement has evolved as well. As a first-time participant at a PHA International Conference she could sense right away the importance of PHA in the fight against this illness. "I could see firsthand how PHA not only touches the lives of its members but changes their lives for the better." Since then Bonnie's involvement has ranged from organizing fundraising galas to benefit PHA to volunteering at our biennial conferences.
"While we are here, we want to give as much of ourselves as possible." the McGoons concluded, "But beyond that we want to turn something that is temporary (life), into something that can sustain the future. From a practical standpoint planned giving is the easiest way to do this."

Such a cute shoes, but...
"I was so excited when I got these in the mail, unfortunately the site only had a size 7, and I'm a size 6.5, so I thought half a size bigger wouldn't make a difference and it did :( I'm so sad now. I'm going to have to return these cuties!"

SO cute but...
"This shoe is ADORABLE. You wouldn't believe how many compliments I've received at work from my customers, from my friends, family, and even strangers have stopped me at Starbucks to tell me how cute they are! The sad part is I agree with all the other reviews in that they are so uncomfortable. I got blisters after wearing them one day, and the leopard lining wasn't glued on well at all. Throughout the day I have to keep realigning it. Is it sad that I still wear them all the time? The things women do for fashion!"

So cute...
"...but gave me the biggest blister because they are made of rubber. It's been a long time since I've had shoes this uncomfortable. Also, I didn't realize it at first but there were glue stains all over one of the ribbons, but I'd already worn them before I noticed how uncomfortable and flawed they were."

"I saw these shoes in store and bought them right away because they are so cute, and a good price! I wore them to work and got a lot of compliments. However, the quality is the reason for my low rating. After wearing it at work for one day, the leopard print lining on the bottom of the shoe started coming off, and now I have to rip it off and place it back on the shoe every couple of hours whenever I wear it, because it slips around. The low price is not worth it for a product of such low quality."

Hi Lane! As of of today, I am officially an RN. I found out on Monday that I passed and my license showed up today on the NCBON website. I can hardly believe I will finally be able to start working as a nurse. Hope to see you Saturday at Donna's house. Carolyn

Lane, Thanks for the invite. It's good to see someone local on here. I have worked on 4N since July 2005. I went to nights in October of 2005, so it verly likely we did see each other. Although I don't remember your face. Did you work days, through the week or weekends? I am going to be leaving Iredell on July 3rd. I'm starting a job at Rowan Regional in the OR on July 14th. I'm really excited about it.

With the soon to be full length release from the Russian juggernaut Proxy on Dim Mak Records, the first remix ep for the single "Shut Up!" has recently surfaced. Of all that we're entered, standing atop the heap come from bass master John Roman, Belgian phenom-duo Sound Of Stereo, and techno young guns VCO (my personal favorite). Both take what already was a massive track in its own and flip their motives into a wall of noise. Too much to fathom? Find out for yourself which one is your favorite (including proper giveaway remixes from Ming and Tenderlions)!

Skip to comments.First Impression: The Tea Party hurt republicans more then democrats. (Vanity)
Posted on 11/02/2010 11:14:50 PM PDT by tlb
Thanks to the Obama economic failure, this would be a Republican surge year regardless. In most races across the country, the scorned Independents broke for republicans giving them the margin of victory.
Haley and Toomey I'll credit to the Tea Party. Miller is still up in the air.
Past that, looking at the other big Tea Party races:
Rubio won not because of the Tea Party but thanks to the selfishness of Charlie Crist splitting the dem vote. Angle lost to the most unpopular dem senator in the nation, a man who COULDN'T win. Paladino was a humiliating disaster. Rove was absolutely correct: O'Donnell was hopeless, throwing away a senate seat Castle would have almost certainly won.
Not to mention the Hayworth and Devore failures in the primaries.
Overall, the losses substantially outweigh the wins.
Not saying the Tea Party is useless, I don't think it is at all. But dialing down the fantasy it will hereafter control the political dialogue and set the agenda may be a good idea. Just who can throw the most red meat to the base isn't enough.
Oh for cripe's sake.
Your concern is duly noted.
Karl Rove, is that you?
I think you have it backwards. The Republicans hurt the Tea Party candidates. You have the establishment Republicans to blame.
What about all of the Tea Party people who also voted for the establishment GOP candidates today at the polls?
I think in the senate, you might be right. It wasn't a great night for the tea party.
Although how can anyone really complain about 6-8 pickups? I never thought we we going to win the senate, we had to have drawn the inside straight.
But the house, governorship, state houses, is another story.
Overall it was still a great night for the tea party.
That is absurd. We have a massively more conservative Senate than I have seen in my lifetime, a huge house majority and governor wins throughout the country. We knocked out feingold with a guy who never ran for anything in his life. This was almost entirely due to the grassroots movement.
IBTZ and good night.
Ignore him. The mental institution is missing a patient.
Go away.
The Senate Majority Leader is an underdog? Okay- zero credibility. Done with you.
Anyone checking this idiot's posting history will see he is a refugee from some leftist cesspool.
More inane and insane babbling from an establishment Republican.
Your win would be nowhere as close as it is without the Tea Partiers.
What a loser!
The wins in the general were all gravy.
And any Republican who wants to get all limp in the face of the coming challenges can hear the Tea Party sharpening the shivs for them too.
This is the first time since Jesus was a baby that Dems will have less than 200 congressman.
This is the best overall midterms in half a century.
Even with such tailwinds you can't win them all.
I think it's probably better to not have won control of the senate this time. Hopefully, dopey Harry Reid will continue to be the face of the 'rat majority. That will only help in 2012.
Imagine if the tea party had decided to go third party. It would have been a repub massacre.
The tea party made the repub party tonight.
When someone can't correctly use "then" and "than", I don't think I need to give their opinion much weight.
You'd probably complain if you got your head cut off with a golden ax.
The Tea Party is just getting started. Things are going to get bigger and better from here. This is where America begins changing course back to the Founder's vision.
When you sober up, you are going to see that as one of the stupidest vanities ever posted.
If you don't appreciate the tea party then I'd appreciate you just taking a freaking hike. We have not yet begun to fight!
Those who wave the surrender flag just as we engage the enemy are worthless. In fact less than worthless!! Freaking cowards!!
Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way!!
Sorry, did you not read? O'Donnell did not lose to the Democrats, she lost to the Republicans. Had the sore losers voted for substance instead of voting out of spite, she would not have ended up with more independent votes than Republican votes. Put the blame where it belongs.
I would posit that your blame game is misdirected.
The electorate is the primary culprit in this and practically all elections. Our society is overflowing with takers who almost, if not already, outnumber the producers, and that spells eventual doom for our society as nothing will reverse that trend outside of unprecedented bloodshed via a civil war, IMO.
In any case, the Tea Party is currently the only hope at the ballot box, IMO.
Paladino beat Rick Lazio in the primary. Rick Lazio was the best NY republicans could come up with. (?) Lazio would have done no better, maybe worse than Paladino.
Complete agreement.
I think you have just completely missed the whole damned point! It never was, has been, or will be about helping the repubs or the dems. It's about consevratism and the rooting out the trash that makes the repub party the Dem Lite Party.
On the other hand, Ron Johnson in Wisconsin was a great candidate who was inspired by the Tea Party movement. He was just an anonymous businessman six months ago.
The key is finding GOOD conservative candidate and vetting their backgrounds. No more witches — even the good kind.
Man! All the RINOs come out on election night!
The sour grapes GOP establishment types are infesting FR like bedbugs in a seedy New York hotel tonight.
Blindly conservative?
Do I smell ozone?
You seem to leave out the "Ruling Class" nominee's in your not so well thought out vanity post. Linda McMahon, CT, lost.
Floria, CA lost, Whitman, Ca lost. I wish they would have won. So, what does that tell you about the "Ruling Class" GOP nominee's? The fact is no party WIN's every race. Unfortunate, but true.
The good news is that overall, we won BIG tonight. In addition, The Tea Party will have two years to find and vet some great candidates if the "Ruling Class" puts up more of the likes of Crist, and Castle.
The Tea Party lost a couple of Senate races, and won some others.
And won dozens of House seats, and HUNDRED's of statehouse seats, some by majorities not seen in a HUNDRED YEARS, and they will control REDISTRICTING.
Redistricting will have huge impact on the 2012 elections, too.
Next time we get gramnesty!! Now that Spratt is gone we shitcan the Dem Lite.. got it?
LOL, the concern trolls are everywhere!
I'm beginning to think the OP isn't any kind of republican. Deep-cover sleeper troll, maybe.
Senator elect Ron Johnson in Wisconsin was not a politician. He went to a TEA party and decided to run for the Senate. Tonight, he handed Russ Feingold's ass to him. Hmmmm.
Flippin' Tard. I mean no disrespect tlb. I have been railing against that fatass Rove all night and that Richard Head Mutt Wrongly.
I think you mean well but, well... it ain't right.
I mean Rove calls out Christinne, who clearly won as a result of the peoples vote or if you prefer the Proletariat but really, the Tea party is a failure?
Seriously, the Tea Party created the energy to get us over the top and you are dissing them?
Brother, get real.
With respect and regards.
It aint over in california yet!!
It's past your bedtime, Sen McCain.
"Blindly conservative" ranks up there with "you people".
you might ought to watch that...mod might fire you up..
I thought they called it. Is it getting closer
have I asked you before but are you the old TLBShow of lore?
anyone else here remember ol Tubby...and I mean that kindly..
I was being nice to him but that's just funny. LOL.
Tomorrow it begins.
Both of those are troll buzzwords. I guess DU paid our "friend" well.

Close Encounters
January 28th, 2010
Beam them up.
(submitted by Annie)
Beam them up.
(submitted by Annie)
Hahaha the comment is everything on this one
A number of people have commented they have pictures with this background from 1977. That's the year Close Encounters came out!
"I see dead people…"
When I was little as small as the little toddler, we also took a picture in front of that same back drop!!! from Olan Mills… and I was making the same face! I wonder if that was what they were going for??? But it was just me and my older siblings…no mom and dad!
Well Dad has ruined the picture by looking AT the camera. He always does this..
The baby's expression is cute and funny, and excusable 'cause she's a baby. Mom and the little girl are looking at the same area off-camera. It's Dad that's screwing it up. Why's he giving the photographer that look?
So here's what happened: Mom and little girl are looking where the photographer told them to look, at a birdy, maybe. Dad's like "Screw what that guy said. I'm looking straight into the camera." Baby's like "Zoinks! Omg! There's a flashy light up there!"
so when did those shark tooth necklaces go out of style??
I hope they didn't pay for that.
The little girl is saying…"oh God, now everyone will know I belong to them".
Beam me up, Dottie!
(Nice family-I'm sure they're missed!!)
awesome picture. The little girl is adorable. My dad had the exact same Avon necklace. Boy, was he mad when I tied it to a stick and shot it into the river.
Poor Mom looks shell-shocked from getting everyone there on time, and she's desperately trying not to look down to see if the girls are smiling at the camera.
Moments before the photographer snapped the picture, little Susie begins singing "Ave Maria!"
Oh, man, I gotta rip a big one. Is that an open window …?
It looks to me that aliens have already landed & body snatched mum and little sis!
Does anyone else think that the little girl on the right could now be the wife on "Rules of Engagement"?
Ooops, wrong pic.
Yes…only Olan Mills could capture such a great shot. Imagine the proofs that they didn't want and decided on this one!
Must be alot of action going on behind the photographer.
And yet, I bet Olan Mills STILL tried to sell them the canvas mount.
"They're heeeere…."
It all makes perfect sense…just look at the Mom…she's the alien. There is no human life in those eyes!
I have a necklace that looks just like the guy's…and I have no idea where I first got it…now I do…
We need musical background for this one. LAAAAAAAAAA. me me me me me me me.
Oh My Lord, it's from Olan Mills! These photographers really know how to capture a moment. (Grey's Anatomy, anyone?)
I wonder if someone was dangling one of those cat toys with the alluring feathers and beads and stuff overhead for her to look at? It works on my dogs, anyway… 😀
It works on kids, too. BELIEVE ME! hahaha There is an EXCELLENT chance that's what she's so fascinated by. I know I had to do that a lot when I worked for Lifetouch.
From the smile on the big sister's face, it looks as if she has really cold hands and her little sister has just discovered this.
Actually, I think big sister is aware of little sister's imminent abduction. Hence the smile.
It must have the arrowhead necklace that attracted them.
It's always the child to notice it first.
good thing dad is wearing his trusty arrow head he could fight them off.
OH MAN…lol…this is my favorite i've seen in weeks.
I love how the little girl is giving it her all, it's a great pic. The rest of the fam, not so much…
My family has a few photos of me looking like this, some professional. This is probably the best photo out of all of them that was taken; it's hard to get a toddler to cooperate and when they finally do, everyone else is grouchy and tired lol
Well she's spotted something…. an angel maybe…
That guy looks like Brad Garrett.
"They're baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack."
LOL! This is great!
Love the dad's Avon arrowhead necklace!
That is exactly what I noticed first!!!
Cripes! My Dad had that very necklace back in the day. Hey, now that I look closer I think my family had a picture taken at O.M. with that very same back drop!
I think that might have happened a lot in the 70's.
Avon – hilarious!!! It's horrid! Does he have on a matching bracelet?!? 😉
Oh my god….. I used to have that same necklace. Actually I had 2. One was this one, and one had a penny pressed into it. I hope I still have them downstairs…..
my parents have our first family picture from when I was born in 1977 with the same background (yes, olan mills).
We have that one, too! With the fake fence… Mom and Dad are sitting in front of it, and Sister and I are standing behind it.
The background was the first thing I noticed. My parents have a 1977 photo of me when I was 3 from Olan Mills with the same background.
that is adorable!
THAT'S the best one the photographer could come up with?!! Lame.
As a portrait photographer for children that little girl's age I know how difficult it is to get children to look at you when you take their picture.
This is a lot cuter than her crying or whatever, and she's probably fascinated by the "hair" light that flashes above her head.
Still, it's pretty freakin hilarious
I thought it might be a monkey hanging from a tree. Since they are in the jungle or something.
The eyes have it!!
The eyes are looking in all different directions!

According to How Acoustics Affect Human Productivity, a study by David M. Sykes, improving
speech privacy boosted productivity and efficiency in study participants. View larger
information courtesy of steelcase
Ringing telephones, conversations, and even the street noise outside can cause major concentration issues for the estimated 70% of office workers who work in open-plan work areas.
"In the hierarchy of things that bug you, the most distracting is intelligible, understandable conversation," says Art Barkman, president of noise control solution provider Sound Management Group. "The second would be intermittent mechanical sounds, and the last is a constant mechanical sound, like HVAC, which really doesn't interfere with anybody unless it's excessively loud."
A typical open plan office offers few opportunities to stop unwanted sound from traveling, but you may be able to mitigate many complaints by addressing your space's layout.
Determine the Space's Needs
Take a four-pronged approach to intrusive noise:
Material Matters
Changes in design trends, such as exposed beams and skylights, cut down on a space's ability to absorb and block sound. Fortunately, there are a few retrofit possibilities that won't ruin the office's aesthetic or break the bank.
"Cloud or canopy solutions are nice-looking and they can be added to a space to create spot absorption," says Mark DeWys, product manager of architectural solutions for Steelcase. "There are also absorptive products you can apply directly to the deck instead of having to put a ceiling in that space."
Hard floors are gaining popularity, but their surfaces reflect sound. Couple that with a ceiling that offers low absorption, and the resulting reverberation is too much to handle.
"We're seeing a return to hard-surface flooring in a lot of environments, and that's difficult acoustically," says Bettye Russell, workplace strategist for Herman Miller. "The sound just bounces off those surfaces."
Walls won't help much in your pursuit of acoustic satisfaction because they already serve so many other purposes, Russell explains.
"We went through years of providing expensive acoustical wall panels that were never really a great solution," Russell says. "Most people never saw their panel, and if they did, it was covered up with a tack board, a marker board, or tools. When it's covered up, it's not acoustical anymore."
Address Office Layout
To ensure background noise drops to an acceptable level, examine your office layout and policies, DeWys recommends. Today's emphasis on real estate optimization creates more opportunities for unwanted sound to wreak havoc.
"If you're going to have a space in your open plan that's specifically for collaboration, you want to have another space that's designated for quiet heads-down work," DeWys explains.
Partner with HR and other departments to encourage behavioral changes. Steelcase discourages its employees from taking conference calls on speaker phones at their own desks and provides enclaves around the perimeter of the space that accommodate conferencing needs.
"Look at the workplace as a strategic asset and use it to support what the corporate goals are," DeWys says. "Develop a space that supports their culture, and build in those protocols to help support the way employees want to work."

Fans of the old TV series Flipper might not know about Ric O'Barry, a one-time dolphin trainer who trained the two female bottlenose dolphins featured on that show. But that could change with the release this weekend of The Cove, a hard-hitting documentary O'Barry made with former National Geographic photographer Louie Psihoyas about the "dolphinarium" market -- the worldwide trade in captive dolphins.
The dolphins featured in Flipper, and at aquatic theme parks around the world, are the fortunate ones, according to O'Barry's film, which debuted earlier this year at Sundance to rave reviews, and sober contemplation. He and Psihoyas raided a secluded cove in Taiji, Japan, and planted hidden cameras. That cove is where hundreds of dolphins are herded each year so trainers can pick the best physical specimens, paying upwards of $150,000 per animal. The "losers" are slaughtered and sold for meat in Japan -- often illegally labeled as something else entirely.
O'Barry and Psihoyas are hopeful their film can raise public awareness of this unnecessary massacre of one of the most highly intelligent animal species on the planet. It has already had an impact: Japanese schools no longer serve dolphin meat, and as a result of the expose, the fisheries minister was forced to resign. They hope it may also make people think twice before buying tickets to captive dolphin performances.
* They sleep with half their brain plus one eye closed, then switch for the rest of the day. This enables them to conserve energy by slowing down everything in their body.
* Dolphins hunt in herds for their preferred food: fish and squid. Since they are at the top of the food chain, in that respect, dolphin mean tends to have higher mercury levels than other seafood.
* Just like bats, dolphins use echolocation to navigate and hunt, emitting high-pitched sounds that bounce off of objects, and using the returning echoes to determine their position.
* In 2005, a team of scientists conducted studies with dolphins at Disney's Epcot Center in Florida and taught a male bottlenose dolphin to "sing" part of the theme from Batman ("Bat-maaaaaan!"). While these vocalizations were learned, and not consciously "musical" behaviors, it is the first time a nonhuman mammal has shown an ability to discriminate rhythmic patterns, lending further credence to the high intelligence of these ocean creatures.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A steep fall in gas costs pushed down a measure of U.S. consumer prices last month, keeping inflation mild.
The seasonally adjusted consumer price index dropped 0.3% in November from October, the Labor Department said Friday. Gas prices fell 7.4%, the steepest drop in nearly four years. That offset a 0.2% rise in food prices.
In the past 12 months, consumer prices have risen 1.8%, down from October's 12-month increase of 2.2%.
Excluding volatile food and gas, prices ticked up 0.1% in November and have risen 1.9% the past year. Higher rents, airline fares and new cars pushed up the so-called "core" measure of consumer prices. The cost of clothing and used cars fell.
High unemployment and slow wage growth have made businesses reluctant to raise prices. Many worry higher prices could drive away customers. That's helped keep inflation mild.
Modest inflation leaves consumers with more money to spend, which can boost economic growth. Lower inflation also makes it easier for the Federal Reserve to continue efforts to rekindle the economy. If the Fed were worried that prices are rising too fast, it might have to raise interest rates.
The Fed said Wednesday that it now plans to keep the short-term interest rate it controls at nearly zero until the unemployment rate falls to at least 6.5% and inflation isn't expected to top 2.5% in the next two years.
It was the clearest sign yet that they will keep rates ultra-low even after unemployment falls further and the economy picks up.
Unemployment was 7.7% last month and the Fed projects it will stay above 6.5% until late 2015. The Fed also projects inflation will stay at or below 2% the next three years.
The Fed also said it would continue purchasing $85 billion in Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities each month in an effort to push down longer-term interest rates.

Integrates dual-channel AIS receiver w/ VHF Radio
Enter up to 100 waypoints
True and Magnetic selection for AIS targets
30-watt PA/loud hailer with fog signals
The GX2150 Matrix+ integrates a dual-channel AIS receiver that displays received AIS target vessels directly on your VHF radio. Improved from the GX2000, the GX2150 has True and Magnetic selection for AIS targets and 4800 to 38400 NMEA input baud rate selection for compatibility with plotters that have only 1 NMEA input, and the 30-watt PA/loud hailer with fog signals now operates simultaneously with AIS display. It displays AIS target information (MMSI, call sign, ship's name, BRG, DST, SOG, and COG) and will allow you to contact an AIS ship directly using DSC, show your position in relation to targets, and alert you when an AIS ship is approaching with its CPA (closest point of approach alarm). One antenna input is all that's needed since the GX2100 utilizes the VHF antenna to receive targets from ships with AIS class A or B transponders. Features an 80 db commercial-grade receiver with local/distance attenuator, and Class D DSC. Radio has durable chassis, user-changeable channel names, optional voice scrambler, ClearVoice noise-canceling speaker microphone, 4.5-watt audio output, NOAA weather alert. The GX2100 Matrix allows you to enter up to 100 waypoints and navigate to them with a unique navigation compass; display shows your vessel SOG, COG, BRG, and DST to the waypoint. Radio can be connected to a RAM3 Remote Access microphone, allowing control of all VHF, DSC, and hailer functions remotely. Scan features include programmable scan, priority scan, and dual watch. NMEA inputs include GLL, GGA, GNS, and RMC. NMEA outputs include DSC, DSE, and VDM. 25/1 Watt transmit power. Backlit LCD screen Includes 1150mAh Li-Ion rechargeable battery, flexible whip antenna, belt clip, and 110V AC and 12V DC chargers. Submersible by JIS-7 standards (3.3' for 30 minutes). Weighs 13.4 oz. 3-year waterproof warranty. 7.1"W x 3.1"H x 6.3"D.

Apachi can't die! What about the children!!!!
I'll go with Moork's theory except for Apachai dying. Apachai might have destroyed Aagard's ability to fight ever again. I think Apachai will be just out on commission for a couple of months due to the injury.
sig made by me
i hope apa is just heavily injured and will not die,
dont wanna see my fav. char. in this manga die,i hope at least kenichi will win
Sig & Ava = Jaiden
We all know that he has the power to kill Koukin, so this would be the ultimate test for his Katsui-Ken.
IDK what the other Masters will do if Apachai would die!
My theory is maybe Appa used the same move aggard used to kill that dude in the flashback. Ya know that timed death?
But maybe it was a timed attack meant to cripple Aggard like his his spine making him unable to walk.
Chapter 401 is out. Great chapter.
Looks like I was right.
We'll see for sure next week.
Nice chap. Kenichi going all out. I bet he would forget his katsui-ken and Miu will go there to stop Kenichi from killing Koukin.

With Grayson Perry: The Tomb of the Unknown Craftsman opening on 6 October 2011, the Museum has asked contributors from the world of craft for their perspective on craft today. In this blog, Sarah Corbett from The Craftivist Collective discusses whether craft has the power to change the world.
Join in the live Twitter debate around the themes of this blog at 13.00 BST on Wednesday 31 August 2011 using #craftdebate.
I'm guessing when someone says "craft" many of you picture old women knitting, tapestries of leaves and birds, maybe hipsters starting to crochet or at a push, Tracey Emin's banners about her life. Mostly pretty images; Tracey might be controversial, but sadly it doesn't leave you thinking that craft can change the world. We want to challenge that thinking!
Craft + activism = craftivism. Craftivism might be a new-ish word, but it's not a new concept. There's a long, fascinating and inspirational history of craft being used to expose injustices.
You heard about the terrible human rights violations in Chile right? Well did you hear that women in Chile, under the dictatorship of Pinochet, used handcrafted tapestries (called Arpilleras) to raise international awareness of the political situation? The Catholic church and NGOs smuggled these Arpilleras out of the country to raise international awareness of the brutality of the Pinochet regime. Not only that, the craft of these women also encouraged a powerful grassroots political movement by providing them with an opportunity to express and record their grief and emotional turmoil about the death or disappearance of their loved ones, something that the regime and the poverty they lived in didn't allow.
In the UK, another group of craftspeople are challenging the norms and making people think about justice. The Craftivist Collective have volunteered to support the amazing Fine Cell Work, a social enterprise that teaches needlework to prison inmates and sells their products. As an Officer at HMP Wandsworth said, "Fine Cell Work gives these men dignity in work and, through this, dignity in life. When a man gains self-respect he may start addressing his offending behaviour". Not only is craft positively changing the lives of inmates who are often ignored or written off by society, but 53 of these craftspeople provoked thousands of visitors of the V&A British Quilts exhibition last year to think about the socio-political situation in the UK through the medium of quilting.
The Craftivist Collective are inspired by the work of people like those amazing Chilean women and the talented UK prisoners. We are a collective of hundreds of craftivists across the world who marry craft with activism to expose the scandal of global poverty and human rights injustices through the power of craft and public art. We do this as individuals and groups through provocative but non-threatening creative actions. Our aim is to provoke discussion and ideas about global injustices and plant seeds in people to encourage them to act to make the world a more just place. We also want to prove that activism doesn't have to be violent, preachy, threatening, elitist or negative. Anyone can get crafty to expose injustices and even maybe have a chill out and a laugh in the process!
Like the Chilean women and prisoners we are not always noticeable. You might find us cross-stitching our Mini Protest Banners on buses and trains; we are happy to talk about what we are doing if you take interest. You might see us in a cafe drinking tea whilst hand-embroidering handkerchiefs for MPs, asking them not to blow their chance of using their power to make a positive change in the world. If you are really eagle-eyed you might see us sneakily gaffer-taping up a battered Barbie with a mini placard to provoke conversation about gender inequality.
So what can make craft so powerful? Using craft means we often engage people who have had little involvement or interest in politics and activism. Craftivism projects can be delivered by individuals or groups, of great or no skill in craft, anywhere in the world. People seem to want to read our messages because they are presented in an interesting, often beautiful way and we don't tell people what to think.
OK, so we admit that, on its own, craft would struggle to save the world, but it can move us in the right direction. Handmade, personalized craft can and does often provoke conversation, personal reflection and empower people to take action. The incredible bravery and determination of the Chilean women who crafted Arpilleras is difficult to forget. The message of the quilt made by UK prisoners and the stories of the positive effect craft has on their lives challenged thousands of people who saw it at the V&A. The Craftivist Collective have been in The Observer, filmed by French TV, lead workshops at the Tate and Hayward Gallery, exhibited in Brighton and craftivists have even been seen stitching on stage with comedian Josie Long. Craftivism gets people talking and always encourages an active response. Hopefully, seeing a craftivist's piece of public art will make you take a photo on your phone, share it on Facebook and talk to your mates about how this craft has reminded you that we all need to encourage each other to do our bit to change the world into the just place it can be.
