This Pueblo shop is part gallery, part store, part school—and well worth the drive.

When you think of Pueblo, green chiles likely come to mind first. Art should be a not-so-distant second. The southern Colorado city was recognized as a Colorado Creative District [4] in June 2013, and since then, it has blossomed into a veritable outdoor museum. In the Pueblo Creative Corridor, murals, public art sculptures, and street performers accompany more than a dozen galleries, studios, and shops over a mile-long span that weaves through three downtown districts. In short: There's a lot to discover.
One of the area's newest additions is an adorable, art-forward shop called Artisan Textile Co [5]. Opened in November by textile and fiber artist Ina Bernard (who also has a studio in the back) and Donna Graham, a mixed-media artist, the venue is part store, part gallery, part school. The boutique's shelves showcase the work of five artists besides Bernard and Graham—Kathi McIntyre, Susan Anstett, Donna Gower, Fae Evans and Sandy Geonetta—plus the tools you need for working with fiber (wool, yarn, needles, etc.). A single gallery wall features a new invited artist each month.
(R [6]ead more about Colorado's creative and art districts [6] in our May issue. [6])
Artisan Textile Co. also hosts regular classes; Thursdays are meet-up nights when anybody is welcome to stop by, socialize, and bring whatever product they're working on. "We specialize in sustainable, handmade, handcrafted artisan products in old-fashioned industries like weaving and knitting and crocheting," Bernard says.
Bernard's focus is needle felting [7]—using a sharp needle to turn loose wool fibers into, in her case, wearables like mittens or bags. She often uses recycled or upcycled products in her pieces. You'll find her fiber jewelry and felted flowers at Artisan Textile Co. Perusing the space, you'll discover that textile art is not limited to a scarf or a hat or a pair of socks—though they have those too. Artisan Textile Co. also stocks wall art (Graham incorporates handmade knitted items into her paintings), handwoven towels, fingerless gloves, and more. "Our artists they have the sheep, they have the sheep shorn, they process the wool, they spin it, and they knit something out of it," Bernard says. "It's sheep to shawl."
Stop by on a First Friday (the concept is the same as in Denver) for "make and takes." You'll create something with your own hands—like origami sheep or a spun necklace—that you can take home with you. The events are always free. Says Bernard, "It's fun to teach people about fiber arts."

Just to spread the word that Amit Varma is going to be in Delhi for a few days and we're all dying to show him that we can have big blog meets in our little town too. So do try to be there. It's 2nd January, 6.30 pm at the Connaught Place Barista.
Young Shivam will moderate and, on our behalves, ask Amit the eternal question: "When are you going to climb down from that ivory tower and enable comments so we can pillory you in public, you snoot?" (If you want specific questions asked, however, you will have to make it worth Shivam's while.)
Sometime later that week I'll also escort Amit and Chandrahas to the mythical abode of Hurree Babu and his Many Cats. It should be a meeting of titans. We will accuse each other of being self-indulgent, incestuous and always linking to the same sites/saying the same things. We will also exchange notes on all the book deals we have got as a result of blogging - and, much more pertinently, will we ever get around to writing these books given that we spend all our time blogging. There will be kebabs and wine, and we will end the evening by throwing our heads back and saying "Mwahahahaha. Mwahahahaha."
Much fun to come.
(If none of the above makes sense, you need to pick up the latest issue of Outlook.)

This New System Reveals The Very Same Methods, Scripts and Strategies Used By Hypnotists, Hypnotherapists and Other Professionals, That Would Normally Cost You Hundreds of Dollars…
Allow me to show you how easy it is to re-program your own mind, safely and effectively without going to an expensive therapist…
Control Factor Works for Both Men & Women and was specifically designed with modules from both the male and female perspective.
I have taken all of my high-powered Hypnotic Influence strategies….and condensed them down to a straightforward step-by-step system that will dramatically improve your life.
But this is no ordinary self help or self hypnosis product or course. And to be honest, I really don't even like calling it a course–It's really a full coaching system disguised as a course
I've spent the last two (2) years studying what works and what doesn't…I've tested so many different scripts, downloads and self hypnosis sessions you wouldn't believe it…But you can believe this, and that is I've found a system that works better than any other one out there…
In fact, I guarantee you results or your money back! I'll let you try this out for a full 60 days, and if you don't get results, I'll refund every penny of your purchase. Now of course, you're going to have to use the system to see the results, but I'll bet you already figured that out, didn't you?
My name is A. Thomas Perhacs (my friends call me Al), and I am the author, creator , and visionary behind the Mind Force Method of esoteric studies… There's a slight chance you've heard my name before. Without sounding arrogant over the last decade I've created some of the top books, systems and methods for Hypnosis, Self Hypnosis, Psychic Training, Meditation, Attraction and other really cool topics…
My books have sold all over the world, and you can find them everywhere from Amazon to Barnes and Noble online…
But it wasn't always that way…Just a few years ago, I was a struggling writer and entrepreneur trying to figure out my next move…In 2001 I created a course on a total whim that I called "Manipulation", and it became a best seller and one of the first Hypnotic Influence systems to hit the market online in a big way.
Since then I've created many books, manuals, courses and systems to help people get more out of their mind. I have collaborated with some of the most unique trainers in the world to create some really awesome concepts, methods and strategies!
Audio files with detailed instruction and examples of how to use this system magnificently.
Transcripts of the methods taught so you can modify them for your own special and unique circumstances
Video Files will teach you the concepts, methods and strategies in this amazing program.
The #1 reason most programs don't work, is they're not personalized. They are mass marketed and don't take into consideration the specific controls needed for real change to take place.
If you went to see a therapist or hypnotist, do you think they would give you a random induction without finding out a little about your background, needs, and goals? Of course they wouldn't, so why would you expect a generic, run of the mill subliminal file to work?
The key to Control Factor is "chunks"- Breaking down the strategies into easy to understand tasks. The other key is full disclosure. I show you step by step exactly what I'm doing and why. It's like opening the hood to the car and explaining all the details. No stone is left unturned.
It's all about influencing your own subconscious mind with the quality content you choose…This takes affirmations, self-talk and other subliminal programs to another level. The reason being, is you will learn specific strategies to personalize this to your own needs.
The best thing about this system is that it will be one of the easiest programs you've ever done. All you need to do is listen and follow the instructions on a daily basis and you'll begin to see results.
Just think about it…If you really could change something that has been limiting you for years, what would it be?
Trust me…You are just like me. You have things in your life you want to fix. You're tired of putting up with mediocrity when it comes to the very personal inner issues that we all deal with.
I've been there, and if the truth be known, I have to work just as hard as anyone to keep my mental state and power at its optimal level. This is the very same system I use on a daily basis when I want to make quick and permanent change.
I will admit– If you want me to coach you, my current mentoring programs are quite expensive. Many people pay me $297/hour to help them to get this to work for them, and yes I'm worth every penny!
However, I am realistic to know only the tiniest percentage of people can afford my personal coaching, so after much deliberation I've decided to let it all hang out and create a program that will be affordable for everyone. I want to spread my message to as many people as I possibly can and there's no better way than with an "Offer You Can't Refuse".
And because I want so badly for you to get this information as well as try out the International Mind Force Syndicate, I am going to give away my Control Factor System…
This could possibly be one of the biggest "No Brainers" of the year for you to get all this information and training for less than $50, plus you get 30 days FREE access to the International Mind Force Syndicate and only $29.95 per month (going up to $49.95!) when you decide to stay a member!
I regularly sell my Mind Force Self Hypnosis system for $47 and that doesn't even include the "Control Factor" training. This system could very well go to $97, and you can get it for a very limited time for only $67!
You will not find a better Self-Hypnosis breakdown anywhere else…This is why a lot of Hypnotists are mad at me, because I reveal in this script exactly how to hypnotize like a pro!
Format: Instant PDF & Word Document Access
Price: $99.95 (I've charged more than this when doing this for personal clients)
When I finally decided to release this information, I knew I would have to pull out all stops, and that's exactly what I did here. You get training on the exact concepts of how to do these valuable self hypnosis sessions. You can use this arsenal of knowledge for your self or others. I even segmented it by gender, so there is an MP3 file for men and one for women. I've left no stone unturned!
This is your essential tool kit to change your life forever–BELIEVE IT!
Format: Instant MP3 Download
Price: $79.95
In this video, I'll explain to you exactly what you should do first with the training. I'll explain the process and how you can get a jump start to this amazing material…
I actually show you in detail how I prepare for an induction, and all the steps I take to make it happen. I've removed the curtain for you to see how the magic starts…
I have to admit the training I do in these videos is some of the most indepth training I have done to date. I take the script and go through it line by line and explain to you in great detail why the script works. I point out every command, suggestion and reference. This training alone will give you a crash course on how to influence and persuade. This is true behind the scenes explanations that most hypnotists, mentalist or other professionals don't really want you to know…
Why is that?
Because, they don't want you to have the same power they do…Well, now you do with this amazing training.
Part 2 is a continuation of an indepth look into the script and how you can maximize it's use.
Format: Instant Streaming Video
Price: $49.95
In this video, I'll explain the concept of the "Master Key Exercise" and why it works so well with regards to influencing your own subconscious mind.
This video by itself would provide enough insights for you to obtain a high level of understanding, combined with all of the other tools in this system, provides you with a "Nuclear Arsenal" of Self Hypnosis and Suggestion Tools.
In this video, I'll go into the secrets of getting Auto-Suggestions, affirmations and self talk to work for you.
The key to programming your mind is in knowing all of the different modalities, techniques and references to use in order to make sure you are getting 100%.
This video will show you exactly the how's and why's of Auto-Suggestions.
In part two of the Auto-Suggestion Video, I'll complete your understanding of how to get these powerful techniques to work for you.
I wish I had this set of videos when I got started. It would have accelerated my learning exponentially, and now it's yours as part of this terrific system.
Format: Instant Streaming Video
Price: $49.95
These scripts contain the secrets you need and cover the following:
Many of these techniques are rarely taught and most hypnotists don't even know about them. Now you can have access to what I refer to as "THE TOTAL CONTROL FILES"
Format: Instant PDF
Price: $49.95
More powerful training via audio on how to successfully hypnotize yourself and others. This training is different from what you'll learn in the videos and from the Control Factor system.
This is your essential tool kit to change your life forever–BELIEVE IT!
Format: Instant MP3 Download
Price: $49.95
Everything in this system was specifically designed to give you the control you need and desire for any area of your life. I've tested these methods on both myself and some of my top students…
The results have been spectacular!
Now, when you get access to this dynamic program, I'm going to give you a terrific bonus to entice you even more…
When You Get My Control Factor Offer You Will Receive 4 Weeks/ 30 Days Access to the New "International Mind Force Syndicate". This Is One Of My Most Ambitious Projects To Date. My Most Successful Members Asked Me To Create This Magnificent Addition…

Ask Mary...It's All About Taste
Do you actually taste your food before you serve it? I suggest that you do. A simple test for you to try at home the next time you are cooking. This test works well with soups. While you are cooking, don't add a lot of salt.
To begin put soup into a few different bowls. Then add a pinch of salt to the first bowl, a little more to the next and a little more to the next, etc. The last bowl you should add too much. This will help you to taste the difference between too little and too much salt and everything in-between. Have Fun!
Happy Cooking,

Blank /sys/power/state file
I am attempting to enable standby/suspend on my laptop - I have never tried this before on Linux. Anyway, I have done a bit of reading up on it and discovered that the commands echo -n standby > /sys/power/state or echo -n mem > /sys/power/state should effect this. The problem though is that the /sys/power/state file is just an empty file which results in write error: No such device message. My kernel is acpi-enabled and everything acpi-related such as cpu frequency scaling works. Are there options in the kernel (huge-smp-22.214.171.124-smp) that need to be enabled (that are disabled by default) in order to get suspend/standby to work? Or are there other programs I need to install? Cheers |
Please see this thread:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=566633 You need to enable "CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU" in your kernel. HTH |
Thanks for the info m8.
Cheers |
Hmm, well adding support for CPU hotplugging in the kernel didn't do the trick for me.
root@gabriel:/sys/power# echo -n "standby" > state |
Umm .. .I am not sure but isn't this supported only in 2.6.23 ? Could you try with 2.6.23 kernel ... cos all of it is working fine for me in 2.6.23 and I am pretty sure I read somewhere that this works only in 2.6.23 ...
There used to be a conflict between smp kernels and hibernation (if you enabled smp you would not have the config option for suspend). Perhaps this has gone away in 2.6.23. In any case, you could try tuxonice (used to be called suspend2) which you can find at http://www.tuxonice.net/.
Brian |
I'm using Slackware 12.0 with a 220.127.116.11 kernel, something I forgot to mention. I intended to try tuxonice anyway but for "suspend to disk" aka hibernation. Does it support standby too?
On my laptop (hp zv5000 AMD64) it was the only way to get both to work acceptably.
Brian |
So there, tried TuxOnIce today and it gives a very similar error:
/usr/local/share/hibernate/scriptlets.d/suspend2: line 564: echo: write error: Device or resource busy |
If you are suspending to a file, try suspending to swap. If not, perhaps the following thread may help: http://lists.tuxonice.net/lurker/mes...e5b7a4.en.html
Brian |
Yes I am suspending to a swap partition. The thread you linked was indeed the only thing that google gave me and unfortunately that seems to be dealing with swap files, not partitions. So it didn't seem of much use. Something else, found this from dmseg: Code:
Replacing swsusp. I'm using /dev/sda3 as the swap partition for hibernation. I thought the error came because the swap was not on (I use /dev/sda2 as my real swap, this one was made just for hibernation) but swapon'ing it didn't help eighter. The error in the script I gave before comes at the moment that the script tries to run Code:
echo > $SWSUSP_ROOT/do_suspend |
Did you add the line 'append = "resume=swap:/dev/sda3"' to your lilo.conf, rerun lilo, and reboot?
Brian BTW You don't need a separate swap partition to do this if your "normal" swap partition is big enough. |

French magistrates today postponed a decision on the extradition to the UK of Robert Williams to face charges in connection with runaway schoolgirl Laura Stainforth.
A 20-minute hearing in Douai, northern France, was adjourned until 3 February - despite Mr Williams agreeing to be extradited.
After his appearance, behind closed doors in front of three judges, Mr Williams was returned to prison while final formalities are completed.
"There is a delay because the UK authorities have requested certain further procedural work," explained court spokesman Eric Veillant.
"Mr Williams was asked if he would agree to the terms of the extradition warrant and he said he did."
Williams, wearing a mauve jersey and black tracksuit bottoms, was escorted into court by two policemen.
He has been held in jail since he and 15-year-old Laura turned up at the British consulate in Lille a week ago after going missing.
Laura met 49-year-old Williams through an internet chat room, and disappeared from home with him.

Cryptomeria Japonica Bonsai (Japanese Red Cedar)
I purchased this Cryptomeria Japonica (Bandai Sugi) from Lone Pine Gardens in Sebastapol, CA in May of 2007. It is over 20 years old and has a great trunk and bark that resembles that of a redwood.
Below is my photo journal of it's progress.
Interesting facts: Cryptomeria Japonica is the only species in its genus, and Cryptomeria is one of only 10 genera in the ancient family, Taxodiaceae, which once shared the landscape with the dinosaurs. Other Taxodiceae include: Dawn Redwood, California Redwood, Giant Sequoia, and Bald Cypress. Although it's common name is cedar, it is not actually part of the true cedar (Cedrus) family.

According to about 50 other people I tried to play with last night it is. If you're telling me you're playing CO-OP survival with no lag and at a decent framerate what's the secret?
Do not take me the wrong way, as any information can be helpful.
However in this case a methodology has been put into place and written out for this particular guide/thread.
This thread also takes into account that your original softmod was done according to the "softmod any wii guide" on our site. And the cios for 249 should be the one installed.
Therefore downgrading a Cios may work for your situation, but is also likely to make other games stop working, that previously did work.
You may want to look into updating to a newer version of neogamma, if that's possible. Just keep in mind that disk loading has pretty much become obsolete and the backups will not perform nearly as well as usb loading.
I have done everything this guide has said. Installed ios224 provided in the original post and ios250
and neither work when I launch the game through Wiiflow R374, Usbloader GX 2.3, CFG loader v70.
This is driving me crazy and its pissing me off to the point where I wish I would of NEVER modded my wii for usbloading. (for the 2nd time!)
The mw3 iso was also ripped by my big bro from his gamestop bought mw3 for the both of us.
What are we doing wrong here? Is it the loaders? our ios? or is it the iso rip? You guys are the pros and any further help would be appreciated.
Oh, I also did that Syscheck thing in case anyone would like to see it.

Lol...yeah thanks. I meant on Wii though...was playing on PC and it's flawless. I just played a game now (on wii) and it wasn't as bad as last night but still not playable in my opinion. The point of my post was about the corrupted save file and that you should backup your save.
I installed 249 base 57 for I believe black ops on wiiflow or Monster hunter 3 Tri a few months back. So should I install 249 base 56 instead? My bro also said that he followed a guide from another site which included something called darkcorps?? I have no idea what that means but yeah.
I also did change the ios in all three loaders when launching mw3 switching from 224 to 250 but still the same issue loads to a black screen.
The default ios for usbloader gx is 222 and wiiflow is 249. I'm not sure what the default ios for CFG loader is though so sorry.

were the most advanced school system in our area, but new developments happen so
quickly! I definitely will try to get one installed in my classroom - all

to place one in each building here at the beginning of the updating. I have
already replaced my chalkboards with "White Boards". (Solid, smooth, white tub

Lessons Learned on an Irksome Journey
A request for Belle and Sebastian's tour manager: since no one at the show in Ludwigshafen was actually from Ludwigshafen, next time try to book them somewhere that doesn't require a commute—like Heidelberg, where everyone came in from.
Belle and Sebastian
7 May 2006: BASF Feierabendhaus Ludwigshafen, Germany
That's Ludwigshafen by the way (not Ludwigsburg). Oh, you knew? Ed Harcourt, one of the evening's openers, received a round of astonished laughter from the crowd when he told us he'd never before been to Ludwigsburg. Hmph.
Anyway, my German teacher once told my class that Ludwigshafen is a town on "the other side of the tracks" so to speak. Of course, after you've fought your way down 30 kilometers of rat-race Autobahn, bumbled through 260 or so poorly-marked twists and turns in Mannheim, and finally slid down from the bridge over the Rhine and through the Ludwigshafen's BASF office-park metropolis, the concert hall at the Feierabendhaus is actually kind of an oasis. It's airy and cool. It has plush theater-style seats, and blazer-wearing ushers to escort you to them. Between openers a girl breezed in with a pretzel. A pretzel?!?! Other side of the tracks, my arse. Maybe my teacher must have only said that because she'd never been to the other side of other tracks, like the ones in, say, Chicago.
Belle and Sebastian have been working hard on the road since the beginning of the year, and Stuart Murdoch started things out by saying it had him so beat he wanted to go camp out in the Black Forest. Of course, you couldn't detect that lack of energy in his performance—which leaned heavy on the new material. That's a testament to the material as much as anything else. The critics are right about The Life Pursuit; it's fun.
So fun, even, that guitarist Stevie Jackson couldn't help throwing a lanky arm into a few windmills. The awkward aisle dancing got started early, too, with "Another Sunny Day". After Murdoch complimented the folks stage right, and some girl on stage left loudly complained, Hey, what about us? Murdoch hopped into the crowd and danced with her in the middle of "Sukie in the Graveyard." During the next song, a kid wearing a kilt and stockings scrambled out of his seat and joined the party.
Getting around to audience banter, Murdoch asked who was from Ludwigshafen, and no one—seriously, no one—spoke up. Heidelberg? Like I said, a lot of people. Mannheim? About the same. Scotland? One. "There's always one," Murdoch joked. There is, but this time, it wasn't the guy in the kilt.
In time, he (the non-Scottish kilt guy) returned to his seat, wiping his brow. He'd only just sat down when Murdoch finally gave in to the girl who'd been calling for "Meat and Potatoes" all night and started up the song. Kilt guy jumped back up and tumbled down aisle and over knees to go dance again.
Murdoch chided the rest of us for looking tired as he introduced "Your Cover's Blown", and asked us to pretend it was Saturday night, not Sunday—perhaps that's what he'd been doing to conquer his exhaustion. But it was Sunday, it was getting late, and we all had to get to work in the morning. Enthusiasm was not the issue.
Belle and Sebastian honored a final audience request, "The Boy From the Arab Strap", when they came back for the encore. But, though we waited for a few moments after they'd gone again, that's all we got. A shame, for sure, but you had to be grateful for the effort; we all know work can be exhausting and these guys powered through despite their pain. And perhaps there's a lesson to be learned as well. Murdoch, tired though he was, showed us that you can't let the little things drag you down.
And, that's especially true when you have to write a review after a long drive home from Ludwigshafen. Wait, sorry. I guess I'm tired too.

The Horse Forum

- - question about horse poop texture
question about horse poop texture My horse's poop has been hard pieces that seperate. I can tell it has moisture cause it leaves a spot on the floor and...this is gross but when she sometimes steps in it fluids come so that's good but isn't the horse poop suppose to be in piles and kinda...together? Her poop seperates into these kidney bean shape things....sorry for the detailed information..but is that healthy? |
I would be concerned if it were different than normal. For the most part, so long as she doesn't have the squirts or is passing hard, dry pellets, she's okay. My two horses are fed the same. They share from the same hay pile, they eat the same amount of the same grain. But they both have different poop. While Gracie's is more firm and "apple" shaped, Ricci's is more fibrous. They're both healthy, just different. =] |
If your horse is on grass 24-7 there poop will be a lot losser and be green. If they are getting feed etc then i would expect it to be in small balls that crumple when they hit the ground so your horses sound like there healthy. However if there was a drastic poop change id start doing monitoring to ensure nothing is going on. Its alot to do with diet |
Hey guys. She is on grass 24/7 but the grass is sparse now since we have 4 horses on the pasture so we have been feeding them their hay which just grass/clover hay. and I also have her on vitamins and probiotics and I mix it with wheat bran(not a whole lot) so she will eat it. She poops all the time. Maybe it's because there is less grass now. She has never had soft poop that practically all went together. I will keep an eye out on it. She seems healthy though and she does have moisture in it and she drinks water. |
Yep, those firm little bean shaped pellets about the size of an egg are completely normal. If she starts having poop that is very loose (more like pancake batter or cow poop), then you should look at her diet. Until then, she's fine. :D |
alright,thanks! =D I feel better. |
You're still giving her wheat bran? Be careful with it.. it can lead to big issues. |
Yes. I talked to my vet and asked them if it was okay. The vet has a degree in nutrition and it is okay for her. I only give her a small bit. I also give her vitamins with calicium in it. She won't eat her vitamins or probiotics without it. |
Have you tried rice bran? It might be more tasty, and is definitely more healthy. |
Just curious- why would rice bran be healthier than wheat bran? Both are very high in phosphorous. I know rice bran has more fat. But other than that? |

Got to really use them for the first time at a prom this weekend. all i can say is WOW!!!! we only used 4 at this prom. 4 sounds amazing! every song has really nice bass in it. even slow songs. the moment that put a smile on my face was when i went into the bathroom, which is on the other side of the gym and across the hall, and could hear all the vents and fixtures in the bathroom slightly humming and rattling. did not really have any issues with the casters on the back rattling. they rattle a little bit when you hit some frequencies but it does not happen very often. and the grills do not rattle either. i'm very please with my build. these will serve me very well for many years to come. i'm going to run 4 at a prom we have in 2 weeks and all 8 at a grade party we have in june at the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum. I hope we dont shake any air planes down. bob |

Any reason for the stacking pattern?

What "stacking pattern"?
The subs are all side by side, which narrows horizontal dispersion, and lets more energy go up in the rafters than a vertical 2x2 or 1x4 stack. Good for coupling to the air handling ductwork to communicate to the bathrooms ;^). Art |

It's all about the look...
or maybe it's more convenient...
but it should look OK if you lay them on their sides, and it shouldn't be too hard to do that either. However, I do love a bit of mortar dust floating down from the rafters, it looks great in the beams of my lighting effects! I do think a vertical stack, each on the side of the one above, in a corner of the room, facing into the room, could sound the best. In fact, you're more likely to have to reduce the bass a little, due to the massive corner gain on top of the gain and directionality of proper stacking! If 8 hight is too much, a 2 wide, 4 high stack should leave few eyes dry. Regards, Ben Last edited by salzburgsoundsystem; 26th April 2012 at 05:01 AM. |

Great build! Are those Kappalite 3015LF? Isn't this design intended for the LAB15? I remember the sim of this enclosure with the 3015LF showing quite a big dip in response? Did you notice that with music? |

I've had 3 sets of implants with all comlications of CC first two sets and now hemotoma and bottoming out with fluid collection. Doctor wants to put in strattice which is what I wanted to do in first place. Does it seem like this will be an end to my nightmare? I am now out 20,000 just on this last set alone as well as loosing a job because I cannot work.
Strattice - Florida, FL
I've had 3 sets of implants with all comlications...
9 days after Strattice additions.
I have some pain in left breast still and absolutely no movement to it at all. I'm hoping it is just where the doctor had to reposition everything and not another CC. I feel great otherwise.

So Wesley & I have decided to re-sign our lease at our apartment. YAY! I really am so excited, I did not want to move and we aren't ready to have the OTP (outside the perimeter) life. So no more procrastinating projects! I am going full force ahead with decorating. This is one project I have been DYING to do, and could never get enough motivation to do it not knowing how long we would be staying there. Of course, APARTMENT LIVING= NO PAINTING!!! UHHH!
I woke up Saturday on a mission and now DONE!
Really crazy I dont have a true before pic, but here is the start of the project.
I bought a HUGE roll of contact paper from Home Depot and cut the size stripe I wanted.
Then started at the ceiling and added stripe by stripe
I had lots of helpers!
We measured and marked and went again.
I have an idea for the wall over our couch, it might take a little while to get it together, so you"ll have to check back to see my progress.

Official journal of the European Academy of Esthetic Dentistry
Publication: Spring 2010 Volume 5 , Issue 1
CAD/CAM Technology and Zirconium Oxide with Feather-edge Marginal Preparation
Patroni, Stafano / Chiodera, Giuseppe / Caliceti, Carlotta / Ferrari, Paolo
Clinical needs and growing patient expectations have forced modern dentistry to focus on finding ever simpler protocols and to develop materials which offer high performance in their mechanical resistance and esthetics. In recent years, the scientific community has been venturing into the world of CAD/CAM, a significant technological innovation imported from the world of engineering. This innovation has made it possible to exploit a material which has long been noted for its mechanical and mimetic qualities: zirconium oxide. While CAD/CAM is revolutionizing the laboratory work of dental technicians, the white color of zirconium has opened new avenues which may lead not only to new options for proper treatment planning, but also to new opportunities in the choice of materials to be used in prosthetic rehabilitation and variation of the types of preparations possible. The present paper will analyze the advantages and limitations of these methodologies, which are capable of simplifying clinical protocols and standardizing results. These technologies have instilled great enthusiasm in the profession due to their innovative nature, but this approach needs to be verified by further scientific evidence.

Week 49
I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in the "Cookbook Challenge." Having a set topic that needs to be covered in a particular timeframe has meant that I have been cooking interesting dishes that I wouldn't have otherwise prepared.
This also means I am learning new techniques, family and friends are enjoying tasty new dishes, (or mishaps that will never be photographed) and I am getting regular use from my mountains of cookbooks.
This week however, I have noticed I have become the ultimate procrastinator. I have known what recipe I intended to make for at least a month, I have all the ingredients and I have found every reason in the book not to start this challenge. I love ice-cream!! I can eat a bucket of Sara Lea, Homer Hudson, Serendipity and the like, all by myself. You would think I would have made a selection of flavours for this weeks challenge but yet here I am late submitting my dish of just one flavour of ice-cream. More to the point, I am still waiting for my ice-cream to set!
Why??? I never procrastinate??? What has happened this week to throw my cooking mojo off balance.
Ice-cream has always eluded me. I am a complete ice-cream failure! I have spent the last week joining forums and trying to sort out technique issues, but the day of reckoning has come. I am none the wiser, and I have had no epiphanies as to what I do wrong when I make ice-cream. So, alas the moment of truth has come and I am biting the bullet and making my ice-cream the "old school" way.
My first ever ice-cream was attempted when I was a teenager. It was icy and artificial tasting and I made such a mess in the kitchen transferring from freezer to mixer half a dozen times that I wasn't allowed back into the kitchen for months.
Next time I tried to make ice-cream I chose a recipe with out any essences or distasteful evaporated milk, and went for a yummy sounding "Chocolate Cheesecake Ice-Cream." I also purchased a soft serve ice-cream machine thinking that would get rid of the mess factor associated with transfer from freezer to mixer for churning.
Nope, it was a bigger failure than I could have ever managed on my own. I had unset chocolate ice-cream everywhere. It just didn't freeze in the machine despite any of my swearing and cursing. Then trying to get it out of the machine to put it in the freezer resulted in a chocolate mess all over the floors and cupboards. That was exactly one year ago. The soft serve machine has never been given a second chance. The mess was that monumental!
What has been done this time to ensure success…. Nothing, I just don't know why I have had such failures so I really don't know how to correct my issues. I decided to blame the first mishap on a bad recipe and youth, and the second mishap on the *@# ice-cream machine.
Here is my recipe, and a reviewed technique for ice-cream making. I decided to make a plain cheesecake ice-cream so that if this one ends up all over the floor, at least it isn't a chocolate brown mess.
Cheesecake Ice-Cream
450gm low fat cream cheese
1 can fat free condensed milk
1 cup milk
1 t/s vanilla bean paste
2 t/s lemon juice
lemon rind finely grated (1 whole lemon)
Mango Syrup
500gm mango (fresh, canned or frozen)
¾ cup water
¾ cup sugar
Add all the ice-cream ingredients to a two litre plastic jug. Use a stick blender to thoroughly mix the ingredients and fluff the mixture up.
Place the jug in the freezer and freeze until the mixture starts to set.
Use the stick blender to mix the ice-cream again for about 30 seconds. Return the mix to the freezer. Repeat this step again as the ice-cream is setting. Once the mixture has been re-mixed twice, transfer the ice-cream to a deep metal dish and return to the freezer. Choose a dish which is large enough and has enough space to use the stick blender. Blend in the metal container twice before allowing to completely freeze.
Place all the mango syrup ingredients in a saucepan and using a stick blender puree the mix. Heat the syrup and let it boil for 5 minutes stirring regularly. Reduce the heat slightly and stir for a further two minutes or until the mixture is at a desirable syrup consistently. It will thicken slightly on cooling.
Pour the cooled syrup over the ice-cream for a delicious Mango Cheesecake Ice-Cream. I can tell you honestly this ice-cream was really easy, absolutely worth the effort, very very yummy, perfect consistancy and so delicious.
I have had my first ice-cream success! Thanks to the "Cookbook Challenge" forcing me to confront my demons!
Now tell me, do any readers have a particular dish they avoid making? Have you had a cooking disaster that has stopped you making something you love eating?? Let me know in the comments section below.

As we are only in China temporarily, and didn't come with big, international jobs, we do not have an automobile here. As such we must rely on other forms of transportation to go to and fro. We use three different modes, all of which have pros and cons: the subway system, city buses, and taxis.
Shanghai has an excellent subway system that connects a great deal of the city to itself. The trains are fast and clean, they run often and on time. They are heated and air conditioned to create a reasonable temperature inside no matter the weather outside. They are well trafficked by security so that there is no danger of violence or much thievery.
They do get quite crowded during peak periods which makes me feel a bit like a giant sardine stuffed into a very small can. But this can be expected with any large city's public transportation. The price is very reasonable and they have a card system that makes paying for your ride simple and easy. Basically you purchase a reusable card that is swiped at automatic toll gates which automatically deducts money from your card. Money can be added to the cards at any subway entrance.
The only real drawback to the subway is that there isn't one within walking distance of my apartment. To get to the subway I have to take a cab or ride a bus. I still use the subway, though, whenever I need to travel a good distance as it remains much cheaper for long rides than a taxi, and less problematic than a bus.
The public bus system also seems to be a well-oiled machine, but it is rare that we take one. As with the subways, the buses get very full during peak times. But where on a subway the squished ride is relatively painless and short, riding on a packed bus is all sorts of awful. Subway rides are pretty smooth going, but buses have to deal with the roads and the traffic, which causes lots of bumping and smashing into one another. Unless you are going a short distance, bus rides are a lot longer too, adding to the pain exponentially.
There's that, and the fact that the wife and I have yet to figure out the whole bus system. We don't really know which bus to take nor where to get off for the places we'd take a bus for, and thus we don't take it at all. Or very often anyway.
When traveling, we usually take a taxi. Though more expensive than the subway or a bus, they are still relatively cheap. They start at what amounts to about a dollar fifty US and, unless we are going a long way, never cost more than about three bucks. Add to that the faster time tables and the enjoyment of not riding with several thousand other people and we generally figure it is worth the extra Yuan.
While this is true, there are still problems riding a taxi, the main one being that you have to actually tell the driver where you would like to go. I do know how to say where I live, but that's about it. For all other places, my language is too limited. Luckily the company that my wife works for gave us a laminated card with a number of common destinations printed upon it in Chinese. When we go to those places I only have to show the driver the card and away we go. For anywhere else I have to call someone (usually my ever patient brother-in-law) and pass the phone to the driver where conversations can be had.
Sometimes even with a card things get turned around, like when my wife and I were trying to go to Metro (a Costco-like store) the other day. I showed the driver the name of the store on my little card, but he didn't seem to know where it was. Being a good taxi driver he took off towards a destination (any one will do) at great speeds. I first began to get nervous when at red lights he would roll down his window to talk to other cab drivers.
Eventually we made it to one of the other shopping centers on my card and I was about to tell him to just drop us off there, when he talked to another driver and dashed off again. We essentially did a giant loop around greater Pudong before making it to the place we wanted to go. It took us nearly an hour and about 60 Yuan for a trip that should have taken ten minutes and 15 Yuan.
Riding in taxis is always an exhilarating (if at times life threatening) experience. With millions of people living in the city there are nearly as many cars and I think those cars are always riding on the streets where I want to be. There is nothing rush about rush hour. It is nothing but grinding, halting traffic at any hour.
This does not stop the Shanghai taxi service from getting you to your destination as quickly as possible though. Taxi drivers are admirable in their (daredevil-esque) drive to move you quickly to your designated spot. They drive quickly, change lanes on a dime, pay no attention to any traffic laws, and use their horn like they are trying out for the drumming spot at a Led Zeppelin reunion.
I have seen taxis make a left turn from the far right lane on an eight-lane road. I have been in the passenger seat while watching them pass half a dozen cars in a narrow two-lane avenue with oncoming traffic barreling down. I have seen my life pass before my eyes while they cut off buses, trucks, and speeding vans while pulling out into a major highway.
Waiting on red lights is for suckers. If you are at the front of the line at a red light one need only to turn right onto the intersecting road, make a quick half u-turn and then turn right onto the road you were on just moments ago.
Lane dividers are just suggestions. There is absolutely no reason you shouldn't drive in the middle of those dotted lines so that you can pass two cars at once. Pedestrians are for target practice. Honking your horn makes everything right.
My mom would be proud of me for I have learned to pray while riding in Chinese taxis.
There is much to see in the glorious city of Shanghai and there are many ways to get there including subways, buses, and taxis.
I think I'll be staying in for the winter.

EU opens antitrust inquiry of Microsoft over browser

The Associated Press
BRUSSELS — The European Union's executive body, the European Commission, said Tuesday that it was opening an investigation into whether Microsoft has kept the antitrust commitments it made in 2009, and warned that penalties for noncompliance would be "severe."
Microsoft conceded it had "fallen short" of its obligation to provide the "browser choice screen," or BCS on copies of Windows. The screen allows Windows users to select a browser other than Microsoft's Internet Explorer as the default.
"Due to a technical error, we missed delivering the BCS software to PCs that came with the Service Pack 1 update to Windows 7," Microsoft said in a statement.
The company said that PCs running the original version of Windows 7, as well as Windows XP and Windows Vista, did have the screen.
"While we have taken immediate steps to remedy this problem, we deeply regret that this error occurred and we apologize for it," Microsoft said.
EU Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia indicated to reporters that the issue may have affected up to 28 million customers. Microsoft had promised to provide the choice screen in 2009 after an antitrust case.
Microsoft submitted a report to the commission in December asserting that the browser choice screen was being provided as required. In its statement Tuesday, the company said it believed at the time that was the case.
The company said it had retained outside counsel to conduct a formal investigation of how the technical error occurred and to make suggestions to avoid such compliance problems in the future.
It also said that it was offering to extend the time during which it is obligated to display the choice screen by an additional 15 months.
"We understand that the commission will review this matter and determine whether this is an appropriate step for Microsoft to take," the statement said. "We understand that the commission may decide to impose other sanctions."
The latest development stems from Microsoft's agreement in 2009 to offer a choice of rival Web browsers on Windows to ward off additional fines.
Rivals had complained that attaching Internet Explorer to Windows by default was an unfair way for Microsoft to put its Web software on most of the world's computers.
The competitive landscape has changed greatly since then, however. Rival browsers such as Mozilla's Firefox and Google's Chrome have gotten more use, and apps on mobile devices have started to replace browsers as gateways to online content.
The development comes just weeks after a European court upheld most of a massive fine that the European Commission had levied against Microsoft in 2008 for failing to fully comply with an order covering technical documents it had to share with rivals.
At the time, the ruling closed the last of EU's active cases against Microsoft, which dated back to 1998.
Keith Hylton, a law professor at Boston University, said the commission was overreacting.
"There may be a few people on the planet, living deep in forests on the Marshall Islands, who are not already aware that Microsoft's Internet Explorer is not the only browser available," Hylton said. "Google's reminders about Chrome are hard to escape."
Hylton said that, in the U.S., courts would ask for evidence that consumers had be harmed — evidence Hylton said he doubted could be found in the Microsoft case.
He speculated that the commission was either protecting domestic competitors or raising revenue.
Anthony Michael Sabino, a professor of business law at St. John's University in New York, said the commission was entitled to enforce its settlement, but its "unremitting hostility" reflected the difference between U.S. and European antitrust enforcement.
"In the U.S., the law protects competition; in Europe, the antitrust regulators use the law to protect competitors, especially homegrown ones," Sabino said.
Almunia said this would be the first time that this type of legally binding agreement has not been complied with.
"Needless to say, we take compliance with our decision very seriously," he said. "If the infringement is confirmed, there will be sanctions."

2 charged with stealing 2,000 trees to sell for holidays
- Associated Press
- November 15, 2013 - 4:36 PM
HIBBING, Minn. — Two people are charged with stealing nearly 2,000 spruce trees from county-managed forestland in northeastern Minnesota.
The two planned to sell the small trees and tree tops as miniature Christmas trees in southern Minnesota, according to charges filed in state district court in Hibbing. The trees were cut over several days on land west of Toivola and taken to private land nearby, authorities said.
Steven George Morterud, 22, and Tara Lynn Herrick, 23, were arrested Nov. 8 and charged with theft of timber, a gross misdemeanor which carries a maximum $3,000 fine and a year in jail upon conviction, according to the Duluth News Tribune (http://bit.ly/HQaP2y ). The two were also charged with misdemeanor trespass.
"The total was 1,970 trees, and they said they are getting from $6 to $9 per tree top, so it would have been a felony theft had it gone through," said state Department of Natural Resources conservation officer Don Bozovsky. "We get these illegal cuts just about every year, but this is the biggest one I've had."
Government land managers often sell the rights for loggers to cut black spruce where it's overabundant. Loggers usually bid on tracts of black spruce in August, with the highest bidder getting a permit to cut in a specific area in October and November, said Mark Webber, director of St. Louis County's Land and Minerals Department.
"They just went in there with a shears and lopped them off," Bozovsky said. "Normally they (land agencies) issue the permits for mature spruce stands were they want to see some cutting as part of forest management."
Cutting young trees near their base causes uneven and deformed regrowth, Bozovsky added.

She's not going to win a popularity contest any time soon.
Casey Anthony, the 25-year-old Floridan found not guilty last month of killing her 2-year-old daughter, has been deemed America's most hated person in a new poll.
Anthony took top billing in the "total dislike" category of the survey, with 94 percent of respondents ranking her negatively, according to E-Poll Market Research.
She scored above — or, depending on how you look at it, below — reality TV personality Spencer Pratt, Nadya "Octomom" Suleman and O.J. Simpson, who received poor marks from 88, 87 and 85 percent of respondents, respectively.
For the so-called E-Score Celebrity poll, E-Poll Market Research claims it contacted 1,100 respondents ages 13 and older in the first week of August and asked them if they had heard of a number of celebrities.
If the respondents were aware of the stars, the researchers asked them if they liked or disliked the celebs, the E-Poll blog notes.
The poll does not indicate a margin of error, UPI points out.
Anthony was also considered the most "cold" celebrity, with 60 percent of respondents using that term to describe her. Only 43 percent called O.J. Simpson "cold," according to The Orlando Sentinel.

"No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."
-Article VI, Section 3, United States Constitution
Does the religion of a president matter? A Pew Research Center survey showed that nearly 20 percent of Americans believe that President Obama is a Muslim (he is not), and only one-third of Americans believe he is a Christian (he is).
(Excerpt) Read more at newsweek.washingtonpost.com ...
Let me get this straight: Libs cast dispersions on Romney because he's a Mormon (and so do a few right wing types).
But if the loon is a muzzie, this is OK?
The issue is that the undocumented One LIED TO AMERICA.
I don't care if he's green with frilly gills and walks with a limp.
HE'S AN INCOMPETENT BOOB! That's all that counts.
"Proof" can be hard to come by prior to death ... even inconclusive evidence would be helpful though.
NO "Christian" attended Racist Wright's "Church"
Not for two times, let alone twenty years
He's no more a Christian than Chris Hitchens
Insofar as it seems to influence his policy decisions, yes. That having been said, I couldn't care less whether the POTUS is a Christian, Buddhist, or atheist, as long as I'm confident that he or she has the correct positions on the issues (from my point of view).
If the poll did not include the choice "no religion", it is not any good.
Be careful with that poster.
It might give NASA some ideas to continue its spending on the Space Shuttle.
What proof do any of us have, but our words? He states that he is a Christian.
How about using the U. S. Constitution as a reference point and the issue of religion goes away?
Well I dont think he has one..he worships himself too much
for those at FOX and other other idiots in the media then instead of trying to tell us he is a Christian then why not ask him why he does not go to church, he does not celebrate Christmas etc.
It's high time you all started doing your job.
Lauren Green saying he';s a Christian and then says apparently he goes to the chapel at camp David.
Come on Lauren you are smarter than that. Where is he at every Sunday?
Why no camera's?
What church does he go to?
What is he Catholic, Prod what Lauren?????????????????????
It matters if he belongs to a religion that wants to destroy us—hell yes!
damn straight it does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does it matter if he lied to the country?
"Hes no more a Christian than Chris Hitchens"
He's no more Christian than he is an American!
worship of self.
That's his religion. With sympathy for Islam and antipathy for "right wing" (ie, true) Christians.
I don't consider either Black Liberation Theology or Islam, Christian. .. however, I do consider both of those Anti-American.
"It matters if he belongs to a religion that wants to destroy ushell yes!
damn straight it does!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
No fruit...and even some bad fruit. Christians aren't called upon to judge, we're commanded to discern.
He's not anything but anti-God. IOW, religion means nothing to him.
You'e correct...but the Dems/WH can't win this one....The majority of Americans aren't stupid..they know he's NOT a Christian, because he doesn't go to church..and they know that Islam is basically an intolerant religion..
"Does the religion of a president matter?"
Only if/when it is used to subvert/displace the Constitution or OTHER religions.
Got that, "O"?? Remember that 'oath of office' thingy?????
That's what I used to think (John 10:9): "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved...".
Of course we don't know 0's heart, but he supposedly confesses Jesus as his Lord.
HOWEVER, he has spoken and enacted legislation very contrary to Christian doctrine. So now I do question his faith.
How about this for proof?
No Christian would have made this slip up, nor would any Hindu, Buddhist, Jew or whatever.
Lying about it does.
To borrow an overused phrase from an idiot marxist "Let me be perfectly clear" the kenyan usurper 0bama NEVER HAS BEEN, and NEVER WILL BE, my president. As far as I'm concerned, the office has been vacant since noon, January 20, 2009.
And Hell Yes, faith matters - especially when he's a muzzie!
My suspicion (there's no way to really know) is that Obama believes in God in a vague sort of way, but recognizes that a professed lack of religion is usually a liability in politics. Accordingly, he found a nominally Christian church (Rev. Wright's) which had politics with which he was comfortable, and attended it for appearance's sake. Now that he's president there's no need to keep up the facade, thus he almost never attends church.
It would be my guess that there are dozens of Congressmen (at least) who feel the same way, belonging to a church strictly because it looks good to some voters.
A bad tree cannot produce good fruit.
By his fruits you shall know him.
Mathew 7:15-20
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you pretending to be sheep. But on the inside they are hungry wolves. 16 You can tell what they really are by what they do.
"Do people pick grapes from bushes? Do they pick figs from thorns? 17 In the same way, every good tree bears good fruit. But a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree can't bear bad fruit. And a bad tree can't bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down. It is thrown into the fire. 20 You can tell each tree by its fruit.
If leftists were honest about their beliefs,
they'd never get elected dog catcher.
It's in the Bible. Our words do not matter. Actions are what matters.
He states that he is a Christian.
And yet, his actions say he is not.
How about his Baptism records for starters. On his school records it states for his religion "Islam".
If he justified his 'position' on an issue by saying he's an atheist, and you found out he was a devout Christian, would you trust that person to be President?
The issue is not WHAT religious faith he practices. The issue is, why does he seem to be LYING about it?
The image here:
is a picture (I can't figure out how to post the picture in my reply) of FDR and Churchill at Sunday service together on the deck of a destroyer early in the Second World War. They were both Christians, both Protestants for that matter, and they shared a great deal of tradition and worldview.
I'm Jewish, but I've always found this picture comforting. If I'd been a sailor on that ship I'd have been happy to see my President sharing that experience, knowing the words of the liturgy, singing songs he'd been raised with, because it would remind me of his commitment to the values that underly Western civilization.
Does it matter that our current President doesn't share those values? Does that question really need to be asked? And if he does think that the Muslim call to prayer is the sweetest sound in the world, and a large number of Muslims are at war with our country, is that troubling?
Only if you're awake.
I think he'd rather used Islam as a reference point, and have the issue of Christian Religion go away.
After all, when he was being a PRETEND BLACK BAPTIST, he never really enjoyed the sermons. If only he hadn't gone into politics, he wouldn't have had to keep up a sham of being a Christian. He'd rather hear the sweet sounds of the call to prayer, 5 times a day.
(see if you can find that phrase in the news today)
-Article VI, Section 3, United States Constitution
Nice sleight of hand there, mister WaPo writer. Nobody is claiming that he is unqualified to hold an office or position of public trust due to his Muslim faith.
(He is unqualified based on a host of other issues, but not this one).
Obama is the master of the phony strawman argument. By leading off with this statement, the author of this article is engaging in the same sort of deception...
Just look at how fast the MSM runs to carry King Hussein's water for him!
Boy, can they scurry.
The Koran itself has 400 references to names of Allah, some are The Morning Star, the Greatest Deceiver, etc. What other proof do you need to have. One of Satan's greatest works of deception making the bad guy the good guy and the good guy the bad guy. Islam is the 7the head of the dragon, the one in Revelation. Jesus will come and wipe out all the Imams and religious leaders and crush the minarets and the Muslims will cry and gnash their teeth. too late now..And Obama sides with them.
Posted on Saturday, June 12, 2010 1:01:16 AM by NoLibZone
This was a statement by Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit on Nile-TV. It was made on the «Round table show».
This is the statement recorded:
Adul Gheit said he had a one-on-one meeting with Obama, where the US President told him that He was still a Muslim, the son of a Muslim father, the step son of Muslim stepfather, that his half brothers in Kenya are Muslims, and that he was sympatetic towards the Muslim agenda.
Adul Gheit claimed Obama told the Arabs to show patience. Obama promised that once he overcame some domestic issues, like the Health care reform, he would show the Muslim World how to deal with Israel.
and you shall know them by their works...
false prophets, false philosophies, false teachings...
15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. Matthew
"So then, you will know them by their fruits."
Words mean little, especially for a politician. We can only judge them by their actions.
He got elected, didn't he, Elizabeth? We don't have to like it that he is a crypto-Muslim or Ed Cone acolyte, but he got elected, but there is no "test" here.
The MSM is cowering in fear over what this mosque thing reveals about Obama. They know Americans view Obama as "other" than them, alien to their culture.
Hitler publicly claimed to be a Christian, but in fact was very hostile to Christianity. Hitler was just much, much better at posing that the artless dilettante in the White House.
Unbelievable. This same left wing media that hates Christians, now trying to defend Obama, insisting that he is Christian. The left wing is going in circles.
But spent 20yrs in hate-filled, muslim honoring African Nationalist so-called church.

The most interesting thing we read today goes to Deutsche Bank credit strategist Jim Reid, fresh from a trip in Finland where -- as you know -- the anti-EU party True Finns came in shockingly strong in the recent election.
Reid makes an interesting observation here:
We spent yesterday marketing in Finland which, since the recent success of the euro-sceptic True Finns, has occupied a fascinating position at the heart of European politics. A reminder that they secured 19% in the April general elections, only 1% less than the largest party and up from 4% in the last elections. However of the roughly 70 fund managers/investors/DB staff we met yesterday across one on ones and a group presentation we didn't find a single person who claimed to vote for them. In fact everyone made it clear that they didn't.
That stat alone seems implausible, though Reid has an interesting theory why:
Why this is important is that we think that those of us in
financial markets are programmed to think of
rational outcomes and the majority of us would be reluctant to
vote for a party at the extremes who may potentially throw the
financial world into chaos. As such we collectively think it is
irrational that other people would vote the same way and
economists/strategists generally predict/expect a more rational
However, the fact that
almost 1 in 5 Finns actually voted for them and 0 out of 70 in my
straw poll didn't perhaps shows the potential disconnect between
people in the financial community's expectations and what might
be happening across the wider electorate. We can't help but think
that the Euro crisis will continue to encourage these previously
marginal political parties and the financial community will
under-appreciate the risk due to these rational
Even if you think Reid is stretching a little bit in this example, you have to think there's something to it. Investors couldn't understand how rational bureaucrats would let Lehman go down. And they still can't imagine how rational EU leaders could let Greece fail, and they certainly all think that ultimately an 11th hour debt ceiling deal will get done, and we'll avoid collapse in the US. Perhaps investors are just too rational minded for their own good.
