A low profile tennis shoe from Onitsuker Tiger
Tennis shoes have always been a big style statement in crisp white and these Lawnship shoes by Onitsuker Tiger stick to that but add a flash of green. Made from full grain leather with gold writing present on the side these are a perfect addition to any Onitsuker Tiger trainer collector.
Onitsuka Tiger's first real mark of progress was made in 1966, with the legendary lines that remain unchanged on every pair of Onitsuka Tigers and ASICS today. First seen on LIMBER UP KAWA BK, designed for the pre-trials of the Mexico 68 Games. Today, reincarnated as the MEXICO 66 - it is the most popular shoe in our collection. We also have the Onitsuka Tiger Tokuten trainer, a low profile shoe that looks great as a smart/casual alternative to running trainers and the classic suede Runspark.

Erin's Tour de Europe 2009
About this blog
Hello and welcome to my travel blog!
I am taking advantage of my "planned" siesta between jobs, and going on a six week Grand Tour of Europe (England not included). I'll be backpacking through most of Western Europe, staying in hostels and traveling via rail. Destinations include Spain, Portugal, Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, and France.
I've decided that instead of spending time sending multitudes of emails and postcards, I will update this travel blog instead. That way everyone can keep track of where I am and what I'm doing.
I'm taking a laptop with me, so the plan is to find internet cafes everywhere I go and keep this updated, hopefully every day when possible. But my itinerary is packed in places, so we'll see.
Au revoir, arrivederci, auf Wiedersehen, adios, and goodbye!

Facts and Events
Amalafrida was the daughter of Theodemir, king of the Ostrogoths, and his wife Erelieva. She was the sister of Theodoric the Great, and mother of Theodahad, both of whom also were kings of the Ostrogoths. In 500, to further cement his authority over the Vandals, Theodoric arranged a marriage alliance with Thrasamund, king of the Vandals, who became Amalfrida's second husband. She brought a very large dowry, but also 5,000 Gothic troops. After her husband Thrasamund's death, his successor Hilderic issued orders for the return of all the Catholic bishops from exile, and Boniface, a strenuous asserter of orthodoxy, bishop of the African Church. In response, Amalfrida headed a party of revolt; she called in the assistance of the Moors, and battle was joined at Capsa, about three hundred miles to the south of the capital, on the edge of the Libyan desert. In 523, Amalafrida's party was beaten, and Hilderic had her arrested and imprisoned in a successful bid to overthrow Ostrogothic hegemony; he also had her Gothic troops killed. She died in prison, exact date unknown. Amalafrida had two children, the aforementioned Theodahad and Amalaberga, who married Hermanfrid, king of the Thuringii. It is not known who the father of these children was.

Hester Gives Cameron Chance of 2015 Election Boost From RBS Sale
Gonzalo VinaRoyal Bank of Scotland Group Plc Chief Executive Officer Stephen Hester said the lender may be ready to be returned to private hands before the 2015 general election, providing a boost for Prime Minister David Cameron.
RBS, which received the biggest banking bailout in the world in 2008, "will be ready to be privatized in the next couple of years," Hester said today after the lender announced a wider-than-expected full-year loss.
Constrained by his self-imposed austerity program, Cameron may have few inducements for voters seeing their living standards fall as the recovery struggles to take hold. A sale of RBS shares could pay for a tax cut. Cameron has also kept open the option of giving away shares to the public. He urged Hester last week to accelerate the bank's return to health.
"The government's strategy lacks room for maneuver, so the privatization of RBS might just create a little bit of space that suggests to voters that economic improvement is on the way," said Mark Wickham-Jones, professor of politics at Bristol University. "Money could be used to reduce the deficit but history suggests that it would give room to provide a sweetener for the election."
The government, which injected 45.5 billion pounds ($70 billion) into RBS, still faces a paper loss on its investment. The bank said today its net loss tripled to 5.97 billion pounds after it set aside an additional 1.1 billion pounds to compensate clients wrongly sold insurance and interest-rate hedging products.
Paper Loss
The shares were down 6.1 percent at 325.8 pence as of 3:39 a.m. in London trading. The government paid the equivalent of 502 pence a share for about 81 percent of Edinburgh-based RBS, meaning taxpayers are sitting on a paper loss of 16 billion pounds.
Hester, who took over from Fred Goodwin in 2008, has cut assets by 907 billion pounds from their peak, eliminated more than 36,000 jobs and scaled back the securities unit following the bailout. The bank is trying to complete the "most important" parts of its restructuring in 2013, he said. Efforts to prepare RBS for disposal are being hampered by regulatory fines for manipulating benchmark interest rates and provisions for customer redress.
RBS Chairman Philip Hampton said today that he wants to give the government the option to sell at least part its stake as soon as 2014.
"Privatization is now a light coming down the tunnel," Hester told BBC Radio 4. "We're doing our best to deliver a company that other investors want to buy."
The government hasn't set a timetable for the disposal of its stake in RBS, Cameron's spokesman, Jean-Christophe Gray, told reporters today in London.
Hester said 2013 will be "another tricky year" for the bank. "We are chopping away at the bad inheritance we had" and by next year the bank will resemble a more normal company, he said. The bank would "ideally" start paying dividends again at the earliest opportunity, he said.

- "New Centrif seems well defended"
New Centrif was a city on Naboo which housed a transmitter.
New Centrif was a small, walled city on the planet Naboo. A series of farms were nearby. During the Trade Federation's Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY, the city was one of the first targets of OOM-9, in order to destroy a transmitter.
Vis, a nearby city, was attacked first. OOM-9's forces then took New Centriff with low casualties, and most of its inhabitants and security forces were captured or killed.Behind the scenesEdit
New Centrif appeared in the 2001 video game Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. The campaign was later included in its 2002 expansion pack. This article assumes New Centrif was the second target during the OOM-9 campaign mission Beachhead.

Blue Mess Jacket
- Premium™ fabric
- Signature acetate twill
- Includes sleeve soutache (unattached)
The Blue Mess Uniform by AR 670-1 is specified in two variations - the Blue Mess Uniform with a short skirt and the Blue Evening Mess Uniform with the long skirt. The occasion for wear for either of these is:
In practice, however, Soldiers wear Mess Uniforms during very formal afternoon events, such as weddings, especially when the event extends into the evening hours. AR 670-1 is silent about the correct etiquette that is currently practiced with these two versions. From our experience, the correct etiquette is:
Because most evening functions extend beyond 8 p.m., and because most Soldiers prefer the more formal look of the long skirt, Soldiers rarely purchase and wear the Short Blue Mess Skirt.
No headgear is authorized for wear by female personnel with the Army Blue Mess or Blue Evening Mess uniforms.
Prices start at: $519.00

Another Thing to Fall (Large Print / Paperback)
New York Times Bestseller
Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman's Tess Monaghan--first introduced in the classic Baltimore Blues--must protect an up-and-coming Hollywood actress, but when murder strikes on a TV set, the unflappable PI discovers everyone's got a secret.
- A] welcome addition to Tess Monaghan's adventures and an insightful look at the desperation that drives those grasping for a shot at fame and those who will do anything to keep it.---San Francisco Chronicle
When private investigator Tess Monaghan literally runs into the crew of the fledgling TV series Mann of Steel while sculling, she expects sharp words and evil looks, not an assignment. But the company has been plagued by a series of disturbing incidents since its arrival on location in Baltimore: bad press, union threats, and small, costly on-set -accidents- that have wreaked havoc with its shooting schedule. As a result, Mann's creator, Flip Tumulty, the son of a Hollywood legend, is worried for the safety of his young female lead, Selene Waites, and asks Tess to serve as her bodyguard. Tumulty's concern may be well founded. Recently, a Baltimore man was discovered dead in his home, surrounded by photos of the beautiful--if difficult--aspiring star.
In the past, Tess has had enough trouble guarding her own body. Keeping a spoiled movie princess under wraps may be more than she can handle since Selene is not as naive as everyone seems to think, and instead is quite devious. Once Tess gets a taste of this world of make-believe--with their vanities, their self-serving agendas, and their remarkably skewed visions of reality--she's just about ready to throw in the towel.
But she's pulled back in when a grisly on-set murder occurs, threatening to topple the wall of secrets surrounding Mann of Steel as lives, dreams, and careers are scattered among the ruins.
Praise For…
Like lunch at Atwater's, Tess's latest leaves you fully satisfied but looking forward to next time
-Kirkus Reviews
"Lippman is incapable of writing an un-compelling mystery,"
-Baltimore Sun
"Tess--funny, smart, empathetic as hell, and a colorful, irreverent storyteller makes a wonderful companion for this tale, in which disturbing vandalism and a stalker are just the harbingers of much worse problems,"
-Seattle Times
"A juicy whodunit."
-Entertainment Weekly
"After last year's acclaimed What the Dead Know, Lippman is back on home turf with the 10th installment of her popular series about Baltimore P.I. Tess Monaghan."
[a] welcome addition to Tess Monaghan's adventures and an insightful look at the desperation that drives those grasping for a shot at fame and those who will do anything to keep it.
-San Francisco Chronicle
You get everything in this book. There's a really good mystery which is almost secondary to the interaction of the characters - Hollywood's penchant for confusing illusion and reality is beautifully done - and the witty dialogue, full of smart film references, is totally believable.
-Toronto Globe and Mail

Fredericksburg, September 13 (Han Nguyen for Obama for America)
Thank you Rita!
Love her!
OMG, ya gotta read the linked story about the Romney's on LIVE With. First thing is to shudder at what Romney says he wears to bed (ugh) and then laugh your azz off at the Romney's trying to be IDK normal, or as affectionate and normal on camera as the Obamas or something.
"Romney Does Daytime TV"
"Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, were interviewed on LIVE! with Kelly and Michael for a show airing next Tuesday, Reuters reports.
One of Romney's revelations: "I'm kind of a Snooki fan. Look how tiny she's gotten — her spark-plug personality."
He was also asked what he wore to bed at night and replied, "I think the best answer is as little as possible."
Meanwhile, Ann Romney confessed what she found while exploring the White House: "It was George Bush having a massage. He was covered up. I was so embarrassed that the next time I saw him I didn't know what to say. He looked at me and winked and said, 'I look pretty good, don't I?'"
The Washington Post reports the interview "brought shudders from some Republicans, who fear the Romney campaign is running aground in its final stretch."
Amk, I admire you for opting to be civil, yet piercing, in your alliteration!
"I'm kind of a Snooki fan. Look how tiny she's gotten"
————— "look how tiny she's gotten"??????!!!!!!!! Hey Dickbreath! she's always been tiny! she's 4 foot negligible. that's how 'tiny' she's always been. You still won't win the pop culture pop-quiz, LOSER. 🙄
Yup. The fucker couldn't even regurgitate the prep points right. How did the thugs end up with this loser ?
He was, I think, reflecting the pop culture obsession with "losing baby weight."
$10,000 bet Willard chose to be a Snooki fan because Pres Obama said he didn't know who Snookie was on the View a few years ago. Everything PO says, Willard does the opposite. He can't help it.
It's not a bad idea because we get to see the stark contrast between the two couples. This is a typical copy-cat move by the Romneys. They're again trying to be FLOTUS and POTUS and failing miserably at it. The Repubs call PBO a "celebrity" but they are raving jealous of his popularity and wish profoundly that Willard and Miss Ann could be half as popular, half as cool, half as likeable, half as inspiring as their first couple counterparts.
Even John McCain and his pit bull had more "likeability" factor than Willard and Miss Ann.
You said it right, hopefruit. Not so long ago, PBO was chided for being a "sitting president" on national shows, and a "rock star" overseas. He/FLOTUS set a trend and now the mis-fits have to copy it for fear of being invisible. I still don't see them. They mean absolutely nada to me.
Princess Ann really, really should keep her mouth shut – that bit about GWB, oh that's gonna go over well …
I know right. . . . It is one thing to put your own business on the street (even though we all know it most likely is based on a lie) but quite another to drag another person's private business out in the open like that.
Weird. Bush wasn't good enough to socialize with at the RNC Convention, but it is perfectly fine to tell the world about catching him in the buff? SMDH!
For Mitt, sleeping in "as little as possible"means he has on only his magic underwear. I have worked with Mormons and become well acquainted with them. It was once AGAINST their rules to ever have their underwear totally off. They used to have to take half off to bathe, then put that half back on and bathe the other half. Most recently they've been allowed to take the entire contraption off for bathing. However, to sleep without them on would be to invite the devil into bed…..yes, I'm not exaggerating. The stories I've heard about the magic this underwear can perform are like watching a televangelist "heal" people. I know religion is off limits here, but he is again lying. If he is a "bishop" he should be keeping ALL the rules, and there are many.
Very interesting. Very strange, but interesting, as well. I wonder who came up with the whole underwear thing…?
Okay, Carolyn, you are not correct. Been mormon since 1981, our garments (those uf us who have made covenants in the temple, not all mormons) remind of us the covenants we have made. Back in the 1880's that part about not being with out your garments, was true. It has not been that way for a lot longer than i have been a member. It has nothing to do with inviting Satan in our bed. Any blessings we receive are not magic, but more of a protection from things in the world. The times i don't wear them i feel naked! Don't know anyone who has been healed because of their underwear. The rules keep us on the strait and narrow way, we don't see them as restriction. My husband has been a bishop and the way Mitt has been running his campaign, I think he would have some 'splaning to do, if my husband were his bishop. Last thing, bishops when released from "active duty" are only then bishops, as in a previous title or emeritus status. They have no authority to tell a member of their congregation how to do anything anymore. they take their place back in the congregation. Ergo, if Mitt were elected, the church leaders would have no expectations on influence on how he would run the country, just as any president would not be controlled by their ecumenical leaders. Just wanted to clear that up.
Seems like a lie. How exactly would she be wandering around the White House so freely that Secret Service would let someone just "walk in" on the President – even in the residence? That story doesn't ring true.
I think you have something there. It reminds of MITTNOCCHIO'S birther comment. He is also lying when he says no one has ever asked to see his birth certificate. If he has a passport, someone in the state department asked to see his birth certificate.
I need eye and ear bleach after this. These two are not ready for prime time, nor apparently, day time; ugh.
I agree, CEB. Any intimate discussion about Willard or George gives me the creeps. There are some places your mind just should not go with some strong anti-nausea medicine on hand.
In fairness to the Romneys tho, that question was totally inappropriate IMO. Why did she need to go there? Will what Mitt wears/doesn't wear to bed make him a better leader? 🙄
i agree it was inappropriate, and that the substance of the question was not relevant to the election. i also think interviewers use surprise questions like this to shock their subjects out of pre-planned sound bite boring drek they would otherwise be spouting. it shakes the lid off the personality.
in this case, myth's response to that question, like miss ann's memory of shrub on the massage table, are the bits that will be remembered because they're the most revealing about those two creepy people. and the fact that they're two creepy people is relelvant to the election.
also, it's hilarious and fascinating that the rethugs are still working plan 'a' at this late date: show america we're human beings. will they advance to showing america he should run the country before they're out of time? we're not the only ones thinking no, that can't happen no matter how much more time they have to campaign.
honestly, the only reason i don't wish they'd just drop out and concede–which i would love beyond measure–is that they're dragging the entire rethug ticket down with them.
Kelly and Michael, I don't watch the show. And having Ann and Mitt up there sure won't get me to watch their show. What a waste. Mitt is lying about Snooki, like he lie about everything else. He is just trying to be cool and reaching out to the young people. And that stupid answer about what he wear to bed. It's clear Mitt doesn't wear the truth to bed or any where else.
I think it is good Kelly had them on. She is a huge fan of Michelle and no doubt knows it would expose more of how very different, weird actually, these people are.
Some of the comments are hilarious:
Whoever owns the right to "The Producers" should look into suing the Romney campaign for copyright infringement. It's like Romney's trying to have the worst campaign in history; and now everyone's captivated.
@Drew: It's springtime for Romney and Tea Parting
Too bad Oprah is off the air or he could have jumped on her couch.
"the Romney campaign is running aground in its final stretch." There's nothing else to say. Soon, we will have our sanity back.
Ewww . . . to Ann Romney giving me a visual of George W. that I never wanted EVAR!! And Romney is one hairy dude, which raises an interesting question. Is he genus homosapien or pan? I think the Romneys are so jealous of the Obamas, they try to imitate them at every turn. I think for most people their attempts do not ring true. MITTNOCCHIO is losing and a loser.
Republicans are finished
Win, lose or draw in November, the Republican Party is over, finished, kaput. How do I know? Tampa tells me so — -and demographics.
At what should have been the culmination of four years of relentless plotting against President Obama, and in an election cycle that was its to lose, the GOP self-destructed, staging a convention that never got off the ground. It started and stopped and sputtered in between.
But it wasn't because of Tropical Storm Isaac. The rain or shine outside had nothing to do with the climate inside, where conditions were inclement at best. Fact is: hardly anyone really likes Mitt Romney, even people who say they do — and it showed. He's everybody's Cracker Jack box without a prize, the kid to whose birthday party no one wants to be invited to, even though his house has a swimming pool. He's the would-be head of the richest and most powerful nation on earth, from whom you wouldn't buy a vacuum cleaner without a money-back guarantee.
It appears the only way he could get anyone except his wife to speak on his behalf was to let them unofficially launch their 2016 campaigns for president — and barely mention him.
But that's not the worst of it. Pick an issue, any issue. The Elephant Party has become the Ostrich Party — burying its head in the sand, refusing to face reality and build bridges to millions of potential supporters. This year's convention was an apotheosis of all the mean-spirited attacks the tea party/Republicans have been waging against women, gays and lesbians, healthcare reform, China, Russia, undocumented immigrants, Iran, Iraq, Social Security, Medicare — without so much as a single, realistic, workable, compassionate solution to attract undecided voters. The GOP today is largely a party of rabid, old, white men in the unhappy dusk of their lives, railing against a nation in which they are no longer the dominant players. It is sad to watch — and sadder to be one of them. You can smell the mothballs of their memories and memorabilia (hats and banners resurrected for the convention), read the rage in their eyes.
And then, there was Romney's desperate pandering to thespians. Clint Eastwood lost every vestige of dignity and respect he might still have had by talking to an empty chair, undercutting what was supposed to have been Romney's shining moment. And inconceivably, Romney, ever the kid no one wanted to play with, actually made the executive decision to allow him to speak without vetting his remarks, just to show people he had a friend. But it backfired miserably. If Ronald Reagan vindicated the role of thespians in society, Eastwood set it back for at least a generation.
Such a clear difference between these pictures and those of Mitt Romney from yesterday.
Look who has the same smirk
Bibi is setting himself up for a mighty fall. It is totally his own fault.
I could not agree more. Finally, people in this country, who are blind to the real divisions in Israeli politics, will get a chance to see what a real asshole netanyahu is. MSM almost NEVER reports on internal Israeli politics. It is one of their biggest, and most damaging FAILURES.
Netanyahu, like Romney, seems willing to destroy the security of his country, just to stay in power.
Everything is changing. It's too bad Republicans had to get scary crazy, before the media started calling them on their bullshit.
HOPE and CHANGE is real, and those who think Barack Obama has not been the catalyst, both directly and indirectly, are fooling themselves.
"HOPE and CHANGE is real, and those who think Barack Obama has been the catalyst, both directly and indirectly, are fooling themselves"…I believe this with every fiber of my being!!!!!!!!!
For those who missed it earlier, C-Span 1 will be airing the transfer of remains ceremony at 8:00 EDT. Make sure you have plenty of kleenex.
I called polled today by an outfit called "Opinionology" of Utah which is a " Virginia-based non-profit new models" firm. I'm thinking to myself, just call it the "Mitt-ROMNEY-POLLING- COMPANY-AND-WE'RE-TRYING-TO-GET-INFO-IN-ORDER-TO-MANIPULATE-VOTERS-AND-THE-NEWS CYCLE-AND-GAME-THE-DAMN-ELECTION."
They asked me a whole bunch of questions about how I felt about the economy, am I better off or worse off, are things moving in the right direction or wrong direction. They asked me how I felt about Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Democrats in congress and Republicans in congress. They asked whether I approved of the job that PBO is doing, and whether I agree with is position on the economy. They wanted me to give them one or two specific examples of what I had seen or heard about congressional Repubs which made me have a favorable or unfavorable opinion of them. Ditto for congressional Dems. They then wanted to know where I got my news/political info from. I gave strong approval/favorability for PBO and his economic policies, somewhat approval of Clinton and congressional Dems, and strong disapproval/unfavorability of Willard and his economic policies, and congressional Repubs.
I've been getting a bunch of polls calling. I always answer truthfully until they ask me who I voted for in 2008. I always say McCain. Just to mess them up!!!
I didn't see the big deal, but I bet FLOTUS is loved in London much better than Mitt Romney. And I bet even the Queen likes Michelle better than Mitt.
No doubt about it! Of course she prefers Michelle. Money can't buy class and the old lady knows the difference. I'm glad the queen has loosened up a bit as she's gotten older.
Have you all see this article? Especially this page? http://www.businessinsider.com/barack-obama-tax-return-income-assets-2012-9#in-2009-he-gave-the-approximately-14-million-nobel-prize-money-to-these-charities-9
Let's broadcast this. R/R can speculate and store their money in tax shelters, but our President's made his money through hard work, writing books, and investing wisely, and pays his fair share of taxes! And, when he gave away his Nobel prize money, he, in effect, said, I have enough, I don't need more, and gave it all away to charity. Highlights the fact that he really is trying to help the lower and middle classes.
Puts giving 10% of your income to your church in a whole different light – would like to see if the church was duped as well.
I tried to read the comments but the people commenting were pure evil. Their hatred of President Obama is beyond comprehension.
Priceless. How loving is that boy, and Michelle too.
More on NYT/CBS national poll:
Romney never had a "longstanding edge on the economy and jobs" because he's never actually presented a plan. Plus, the only record we have of Mitt's public works shows him leaving Massachusetts worse off than he found it, only ahead of states that had just gone through the Katrina crisis – plus, his record with the Olympics left the country poorer because of the billions in public funds that were used to bail out those games. He has no positive record – even his Bain record only benefited the top 1% who represented his client base, and left the state of family economies and jobs far worse off. That edge they keep talking about is as phony as Paul Ryan's "fiscal conservatism".
"Values" Voter Summit—–a collection of demented haters
Any conference that values the likes Newt Gingrich and liars like Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney, has no value at all. Conservatives decided to double down on their control of women at this conference. The Modern GOP. They assign personhood to the unborn and corporations but not adult women.
Wonder if the RW hero Palin would agree with these values – short skirts and winking being the sum total of her political skills
Mitt Romney votes, and Gary Bauer support comes from racists, KKK members, white supremacist.
btw, the largest stadium in Syria (in Aleppo) was remodeled today … early 21st Century coliseum style …. 😉
OMG, I have got to catch up; I think I have missed most of 3 posts, but I have to say about this one … the little boy hugging Michelle – you can feel it! Through the film, the space, the camera lens … it transcends all and I seriously could feel that hug. That is an awesome picture! P.S. You can also feel the love.
Based on what TOD commenters said this week, sounds like Ed may be out for a while. 😦
Before hanging out at TOD, I could tolerate Ezra, but now he makes my skin crawl. Hate everything about him.
And he's just going to get worse, as he gets more and more entrenched in the George Will lifestyle.
I cannot STAND him. Right now he's basically trying to suggest that PBO's use of drone attacks in his approach to defeating Al Qaeda and the Taliban is in part responsible for the latest attacks in Benghazi. WTF Ezra? What exactly are you trying to do here. Instead of doing your job and trying to find out who exactly funded that anti-Islam movie, you are busy playing to the Glen Greenwald School of Libertarianism. WTF?!?!?!?
Yes, Ezra Klein has become another unbearable emprog. If he did more research and stopped pushing anti-PBO themes he might have seen this report:
So, if it wasn't planned in advance…..it was the reaction to that awful youtube video…..and now it has gone viral around the world.
Yes – I fast forwarded through everything but the tribute to the transfer ceremony at the end. Ezra is a disaster.
Whenever the talk turns to foreign policy or crises, I try to avoid watching any MSNBC shows except Rev Al. PBO and his team are extremely tightlipped so the likelihood Ezra Klein has any real information about the events unfolding in the Middle East is slim to none. With that said, it is possible Ezra Klein is part of a disinformation campaign. Remember not every journalist is just a journalist. I strongly believe PBO knows exactly who is behind the deadly attack in Benghazi and the spread of protests and riots throughout the Middle East. Think unlimited supply of money, a cheap inflammatory racebaiting film (remember Birth of a Nation and it 's more recent incarnation, 2016: Obama's America ), the hate speech and actions of right wing domestic terrorists also known as the Republican Party and the US military's roach problem. This combination of factors is the likely source of the current crises in the Middle East and has all the markings of a NIXONIAN type strategy. The GOP keeps talking Carter but they are really thinking Johnson.
The White House asked Google to remove the inflammatory film from YouTube and they refused. However, when China asked them to restrict access to certain search terms and results, Google complied. Of course, there are others ways to remove the video from YouTube, which means it will probably be gone by tomorrow afternoon. How many of you are still using the Google search engine and/or have Google accounts? Dump Google and try BING.
He's managed to piss off just about everyone with his crappy whinefest about PBO, when there are so many important issues of the day that he could be discussing.
FLOTUS just tweeted this. Sorry if you're all seen this before… so cute! http://youtu.be/Zk30kRZrLsY
you're very welcome, dear Chips 🙂 We must all watch this for the Van Buren sideburns!!
Ok, thread needs some cowbell.
The preacher, in his Sunday sermon, used "Forgive Your Enemies" as his subject. After a long sermon, he asked how many were willing to forgive their enemies. About half held up their hands. Not satisfied he harangued for another twenty minutes and repeated his question. This time he received a response of about 80 percent. Still unsatisfied, he lectured for another 15 minutes and repeated his question. With all thoughts now on Sunday dinner, all responded except one elderly lady in the rear.
"Mrs. Jones, are you not willing to forgive your enemies?"
"I don't have any."
"Mrs. Jones, that is very unusual. How old are you?"
"Ninety three."
"Mrs. Jones, please come down in front and tell the congregation how a person can live to be ninety-three, and not have an enemy in the world."
The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, very slowly turned around and said:
"It's easy, I just outlived the bitches."
Just when you think things can't get any mire Nuts.
The GOP Freshman are putting forward a no confidence vote for AG Holder.
What a mess. My heart just melted all over the floor seeing the FLOTUS and the little boy in those photos. Oh my.. too too touching!
I mean … I mean … the child closes his eyes .. complete trust .. he is lost in that hug! I can't stop looking at this picture. I want a hug from her like that.
A picture is worth a thousand words.And two pictures can show who has a conscience,and a soul!
Look at my family, Barack, Michelle, Malia, and Sasha. I am so proud of them. 🙂
This is such an incredible video – I kept stopping and replaying some of the behind-the-scenes stuff. I am going to watch some of the speeches again – that was such an amazing convention.
There's Ezra on his nightly anti-Obama programming, going on and on and on about predator drones, harshly condemning and calling him all kinds of names, a killing president etc.—calling it unlawful and ruthless etc. etc. etc.
Maybe Ezra will grow up one day. He strikes me as a young, immature kid, who just happens to have read a lot of theoretical books.
But if by a "Liberal" they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a "Liberal," then I'm proud to say I'm a "Liberal." – JFK
I'm old enough to remember this, and it needs to go everywhere. I think it is the best encapsulation of what it means to be a Liberal. For thirty years Republicans have tried to make it a dirty word. I'm glad to see it being reclaimed as a proud designation.
When things look the worst for the GOP, they dial up their friends on the Far left, and Viola, Attacks from the Far left- Check.
It happens far to often. Of course, Bill Clinton did not face this much Harrasent from the far left, in fact, Move on.org defended BC vociferously!
So, what else can it be? Is it Ezra having a problem with Black People? BTW-What ethnicity is Ezra Klein, does He have a problem?
This Stinks.
Just ran across this (sorry if it's a repeat).
Hmmm, my throat's a little parched… what's a girl to do? 🙂
Most Interesting Man prefers Obama
Jonathan Goldsmith, aka The Most Interesting Man in the World, is hosting a fundraiser for President Obama in Burlington, Vt., next week.
The actor, known for his recurring role in Dos Equis commercials, will be in attendance along with Vermont Speaker of the House Shap Smith, according to an invitation online.
I love the Dos Equis guy. I found this 14 minute compilation of his commercials – the last five minutes are really hilarious as he delivers one liners on various subjects. I'm glad he's an Obama supporter. He's very cool!
Yay! Gary Johnson will be siphoning off Romney votes! Heh, heh, heh!!
Johnson wins in Pennslyvania
"…in terms of the ballot anyway.
Per PoliticsPA:
Commonwealth Court judges sided with Johnson by a margin of 2-1 on Thursday, according tothe Associated Press. They ruled that about 9,000 of the candidate's petition signatures are valid despite the fact that voters' home addresses from the petitions did not match the addresses listed in the voting file.
Two people with knowledge of the petition challenge – which has been coordinated with the Pa. Republican Party – said an appeal was in the process of being filed Friday afternoon. Both said the move is typical in such disputes; state law gives litigants a presumptive right to appeal any Commonwealth Court decision.
Pennsylvania is no longer a state that Republicans are suggesting is in play in a real way, but there's also a desire not to cede any advantage to an opponent – and Johnson on the ballot could end up, depending on who he siphons votes from, helping President Obama.
It also puts Johnson on the ballot in 47 states so far, which could matter in ones that are tight."
The video of Rainer and Atticus is the cutest ever! Thanks Rita and Chips.
Senate battle looking like a nail-biter (again)
Check this for WaPo's take on 10 hotly-contested Senate races.
Ok folks, I am wiped out. I think it's going to be a minimal politics weekend — except for my phonebanking on Sunday. It's just been a hellishly busy week, and the crazy from the Right was dialed up to 11. Everyone to my house for gimlets.
Sounds fabulous:) your house for gimlets…..I was thinking about "unwinding" myself…hellish week all around
I just had a great experience. I and four friends gathered to use the call tool at BarackObama.com. We were given the names and numbers of people in N.C. So armed with the script, our cell phones, and one land- line we made 50 calls.
The first call was to a southern, white male who was pro-Obama. Great start, since the next one informed me that he was not voting for Obama, because he was liar and a…and a. I thanked him, hung up, then we all cracked up. Really, his anger was comical, because it didn't make any sense.
My most interesting call was to a republican lady, retired, who was voting for Romney because she was "not better off" since '08. But she wanted to talk so I reminded her that PBO was not in office in '08. I recalled the history to her and briefly outlined how the president's policies had gradually turned the country around. I asked her if she was on Medicare. She said she was, I pointed out to her what would happen to her coverage, her insurance costs etc., under a Romney administration, as opposed to what will happen under PBO. She didn't understand vouchers, and I explained that concept to her.
She was blaming the president because she knew two people in their fifties who were pretending to be disabled, and after being turned down by the government for disability had hired lawyers to fight for disability. They didn't want to work and people shouldn't be able to hire lawyers to gain disability checks. Somehow, all that was OBAMA'S fault.
I didn't ask, but she volunteered that she wasn't voting against PBO because he was black, but because her retirement investments had not increased since 2008. I told her mind had increased, and I was not voting for him because he was black either, but because he was fighting for everything that protected and helpEd people like her and every other demographic in the country.
She listened, at least, but ended by saying that she had to vote the bum out because she hadn't regained her money, and so she wanted to give the next person a chance. IF he didn't work out, then she'd vote him out too.
What pleased me most about this interchange was that I was able to really answer this lady's questions with facts, learned through websites like TOD and others. She probably won't vote for PBO, but it won't be because she doesn't know better; I invited her not to take anybody's word on the issues ( including mine ) but to learn more on her own.
This was not easy for me, but, boy do I feel great tonight. I participated in democracy, y'all, and it feels great..
So proud of you! Every little bit helps. I am going out tomorrow to register people to vote. Fired Up!
Good for you, eve! Am wondering why her retirement investments haven't gotten better…stock market is WAY up from 2008/2009….my question to HER would've been…"Why didn't you report the fraudulent behavior of your friends?"
Well done Eve. Keep up the good work. You know what they say is the worst thing about democracy ? The voters. 🙂
Stunning work! I so admire people who can cold-call voters. I'm absolutely unable to do that, so my gratitude to you is enormous.
That is a fine example of citizenship on your part, Eve!!! Thank you.
Yes We Can
She must have some really bad investments – because the one area of the economy that has recovered extremely well is the stock market
Dow Jones Nov 21, 2008 7449, Today 13593
S&P 500 Nov 21 2008 800.03 Today 1465 (highest since Jan 2008)
It hasn't been easy to hold investments over the past 4 years – and many sold out & put their cash in "safe" places with little or no growth. Perhaps that is what happened to this lady.
Well done Eve, you never know, she may have 2nd thoughts
You did a wonderful job. You were a very good representative of President Obama. Smart and classy.
Bravo Eve. Keep up the good work! I phone bank every Monday evening and it's always interesting.
Mitt Romney said this week that PBO is responsible for the statement coming out of the embassy in Libya as they tried to calm feelings BEFORE
the ambassador was killed. His chin trembled with righteousness as he said it. This begs the question, if the POTUS is held responsible for everything government agencies does (even when not sanctioned by the White House), then surely he is responsible for those agencies who killed terrorists, carried out the stimulus that slowed and ultimately reversed the recession, collected loose nukes around the world as he promised in his UN speech, passed and administer the ACA, encouraged and developed new curriculum standards in math and science, developed a new consumer watchdog agency, and a host of awesome achievements?
If, (using Mitt the Twit's logic), PBO is this successful, despite the enormous hurdles in his path, then it makes absolute sense to re- elect this man,with a resounding majority and send a message to all, here and around the world, that Americans are not stupid, we know a good thing when we see it.
Suggest all of you check James Wheeler's tweets if you'd like to get a glimpse at how Libyans really feel about America and Islamic extremists …
btw, Most Libyans love America and hate Islamic extremists.
You may also be interested in these two tweets …
Islamic radicals incited to violence by a soft-corn porn hack's re-dubbed trash …
Let that sink in …
The still keep saying the election was "Romney's to lose" – what a joke – against the GOP legislature – President Obama had it hands down. Romney is just turning it into a landslide
I strongly disagree with that statement also. It's become the disgruntled Repub's mantra, which I'm assuming is the identity of this writer. And so I don't mind that the readers in N.C. see this writer call Romney and his campaign a shambles.
"Voters already know he's not Barack Obama. For now, their alternative is a candidate who runs such a poor campaign that they may wonder how he could possibly run a country."

Hell yeah, I'm tweetin'! Baby got her TWITTAH back!!! Yippieeeeeeeeeeee! 😀 😀 😀
Happily Retweeted — Tammy Duckworth has a debate tonight. Check it out if you can!
Frankly, I hope she rips that dickhead Joe Walsh a new one.
OMG, the cuteness factor in that photo of FLOTUS and that little boy is OFF THE CHARTS. I've completed melted here on the keyboard.
What is so wonderful is that you could tell he loved her before he met her (a lot of young kids know exactly who Michelle Obama is!)! That's why he dreamily has closed his eyes during the hug, and is probably patting her back (which we can't see in the still shot). Even at his young age, he's feelin' the love everybody feels for FLOTUS. Sigh.
I know, right? I remember back in 2008 we saw so many videos of babies just laughing and saying O-BA-MA and pointing to him on TV. Part of it is the lyrical nature of his name but the other part is this aura of good nature and sweetness that comes across purely and directly. It's in his words, his voice, his gestures, his smile. OMG, we are so very lucky, JO'B!!
Yes, meta, we are all so lucky – including all the little children! My 9-y/o granddaughter can quote everything FLOTUS has ever said on TV directed toward America's children (almost – Ha!) – and will repeat things in a dead-serious manner. Makes me smile!
I love the picture of FLOTUS with the young boy. I know we say this alot, but it is so true, I just love how POTUS and FLOTUS are so good with kids. And the video of the young kids interviewing FLOTUS at the DNC is so cute. So cute.
wait, where did it go? I just watched PO's I'm so in love with you clip. lolol
WOW. Wake up and smell the brake shoes. What a colossal failure he is. When the news speaks out about his slide in the pollS, you know he's in trouble.
Hay guys our lovely First Lady will be in North Carolina Wednesday. Hurray! Hurray! Hurray! I can't wait.
Free Obama bumper stickers, choose yours-
Good Evening All. Did some phone banking tonight. Left lots of messages. The few that I spoke too were enthusiastically for PBO. The office is in Coconut Grove, not too far from where I work. The President is expected to be on campus (University of Miami) on Thursday. I hope I get in this time. Surprising, I get in all other events in South Florida except for where I work. Isn't that just crazy? Well, I am going to try to catch up on the many posts from today but I am really tired. Have a good evening,
A toast to all of the TOD OFA volunteers… you make us all so proud. Thank you for sharing your stories.
For some reason I can't reply to individual comments so to all of you who responded to my little story, Thanks for the encouragement!
@Tien le
I am just like you. That call tool thing terrified me; never would have done it on my own. Being in a small group helped tremendously. And most of the responses, even when rude, were quickly over by saying "Thank you for your time. Those calls are very short.
It wasn't so bad, but I'm one who will always be a little tense in situations like these, That's why actually doing it felt so good.
So, has anybody else figured out that the numbers do not add up.
The President is up by 55 points with Jewish Voters, 95 points with AA Voters, 45 points with Hispanics, 40 points 18-29 year olds, etc.
The President is probably up by 7-10 points, if these people show up to Vote!
Thus, the Polls are wrong, they dont match the Demograhics, they are siphoning off votes from the left.
Old Rush limpballs had it backwards…
Seems all the old white men get the 3 votes they are "entitled" to from times past.
Yes. The VA clinics story — Where or how does this all end? I am SO scared for our country.
No wonder the repukes hate and revile religious extremists aka in repuke speak (Muslims and Islam) and see them everywhere they look. For the repukes, seeing religious extremists is like looking in a mirror. Seeing the ugly scares the shit out of them. The GOP is our Taliban and extremists.
Yes. Today's GOP = America's Taliban. Can't wait until they are run out of town governments all across America and in D.C.
I cannot find the video today of the ceremony. The portion before the speeches. I though Chips had it somewhere on one of the previous posts but the only one I can find is the one with Sec Clinton speaking. Does anyone have a link? Really wanted to watch it again.
No but thanks so much Chipsticks. 😦 I was just looking for the one that begins with the music and continues without breaks. I thought it was up through the prayer.
I did unfortunately find this video from today of the fraudster Mitt Romney faking how much he loves the country. So inauthentic!! And then the Twit decides not to do a moment of silence as if it's just some meaningless expression. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7421614n&tag=mg;mostpopvideo

DO NOT PISS OFF KANSANS, I tell ya! In response to the birther nonsense:
"TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) – Kansas officials want more information before deciding whether to remove President Barack Obama from the state's November ballot." Source: http://www.kshb.com/dpp/news/state/kansas/kan-board-delays-decision-on-obama-ballot
Dear Lieutenant Governor Jeff Colyer, M.D.
It is shocking to this Kansas tax payer that you, being a man of letters, would be a part of this craven political bow to racism, nativism, xenophobia and know-nothingism! All this is nothing more than a deep obeisance to the Republican right-wing nut faction and their open contempt for folk that don't look like them.
"The State Objections Board heard arguments Thursday on a claim from a Manhattan, Kan., resident that Obama is not eligible to be president because his father was from Kenya."
Mitt Romney's dad George Wilcken Romney was born in Colonia Dublán, Galeana, Chihuahua, Mexico. Using the claimant's (Joe Montgomery) logic, that makes Mitt Romney's dad Mexican. Hasn't your Board wondered why Joe Montgomery is not challenging Mitt Romney's eligibility to be president of the United States of America, but is of that of one Barack Obama?
I am sure you know, being a man of letters, that for one to be eligible to be the President of the United States, the U.S. Constitution has set the principal qualifications one must meet to be:
– be a natural-born citizen of the United States;
– be at least 35 years old;
– have been a permanent resident in the United States for at least fourteen years.
You know (should know), being a man of letters, that Barack Obama does indeed meet those principal qualifications.
Barack Obama, as we all know, has a birth certificate documenting his birth in Hawaii on August 4th, 1961. He has made it available online, just a Google search away – the only President of the USA to EVER do so.
The Kansas State Objections Board should have dismissed Joe Montgomery claim/complaint — with prejudice, that is, indicating misconduct on Joe Montgomery's part and forbidding him from ever refiling the claim/complaint — instead of subjecting us (Kansans) to this mendacity.
[It's a real letter. I personally know the author!]
WP must have had too much happy hour or something. At top of letter it should have read:
Dear Lieutenant Governor Jeff Colyer, M.D.:
Sully can be trying much of the time but he captures something here:
"What people don't note enough is both the self-discipline (that we know doesn't come easily) and the zen-like calm he exudes. Occasionally I ask some sources close to him how he reacted to some piece of news or the other. They almost all say that his range of emotion is about a tenth of the average human being – and that he is as intent on being a good father and husband as being a good president. He is cool not in the pop culture sense, but in the "old soul" sense. This is why so many wavering Americans still like him. In an ocean of drama, he is an island of public calm.
… [W]hen I think of the characteristics I want in a president in turbulent times, this capacity for calm and poise comes pretty high on the list. And that's why I think this past week was almost as damaging to Romney as the week before. He over-reacted in a petty, political way to a sudden, murky series of events that demanded restraint and calm and fact-gathering. Then he doubled down on his attempt to politicize it. This was talk-radio performance, not presidential behavior."
I think that throughout the last 4 years, we've witnessed this extraordinary POTUS weather tragedy after tragedy, crisis after crisis, setback after setback. But still, even in the midst of all this harsh reality the world brings to his doorstep, he is still the most resolute, most hopeful and most productive PEOPLE's PRESIDENT. He is beloved by so many because he has touched us all, slowly, over time – day after day, event upon event, promise after promise. He buoys his supporters and confounds his critics. He WINS.
This is brilliant – and so on point. President Obama really is a special person – you don't find many like him.
President Obama will be on David Letterman Tuesday, September 18 at 11:35 EDT.
Tammi Duckworth and Joe Walsh, candidates for the House seat from the 8th district of Illinois, will debate at 9:30pm cst.
Here's the link: http://www.myfoxchicago.com/story/19548134/8th-congressional-district-debate-joe-walsh-vs-tammy-duckworth
Expect Walsh to sound crazy, it's his only mode of thinking. He's going to try to make sure we all know what an idiot he is before he's run out of the 8th district on his high horse. The shame is he gets life time benefits from having served in Congress for his one hate-filled 2year term.
It's nitey-nite for me. Turn off the lights before you turn in. Don't stay up too late.
I think members of Congress aren't vested until they've served 5 years.
Correct, meta …
"Members of Congress receive retirement and health benefits under the same plans available to other federal employees. They become vested after five years of full participation."
Good, I don't want this idiot to get one more penny after Jan 2013. It's not like he was paying child support with it.
Chipsticks: How would I be able to get a copy of any video of the rally in Golden, CO on Sept. 13th? Someone suggested I look at c-span. I couldn't find it. I would love to see the whole speech, but would especially like to see the rope line at the end where I was able to shake the President's hand and he kissed my cheek. If you can help, let me know. If anyone would know, it would be you. Thanks even if you don't have time.
Here'ya go, Cindy …
Oh my gosh, thanks!!! I am right after the two cute babies at 41:29–you can see him bend way down. I have redish blonde hair. You really can't see it, but I love it! thank you thank you thank you
Woot! I see you Cindy! Your blond hair is visible when he kissed you after the babies!
Swooooon!! You lucky girl, you! What a moment!!! OMG! I'd be doing the "Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs dance for a week!! 😀
Where did they go? They were talking about the debate…then it went blank…anyone seeing that?
Refresh your browser. Then click on the Play button in the middle of the video box. I'm watching. Walsh just introduced himself. Now Tammy's on…
Just switched over on my teevee—-but I can't gut that Walsh—-cannot stand to listen to him—–will try to just listen to Tammy.
http://www.myfoxchicago.com/category/237044/live-stream Almost time for Tammy Duckworth!!! Tune in!
I don't like that these two moderators keep interrupting Tammy, but they let Deadbeat Joe say whatever the hell he wants. Ugh!
Yes. I stopped watch… can't take the Walsh butthote anymore. About to send Tammy a few more pennies.
Meanwhile, I'm scouring the rope line portion the C-SPAN video of PBO's speech in Golden CO to see if I can find Cindy.(https://theobamadiary.com/2012/09/14/michelle-2/#comment-489355)
Girlfriend got a kiss on the cheek from my President! Color me GREEN!
I couldn't watch it all, either, Dudette. But thanks for the link – at least I saw part of it (before practically losing my dinner). We need to light some candles, too, that Tammy wins and wins big – in addition to donating more!
Dag, he leaned in to kiss someone just off camera around 37:00. Cindy was that you?
No I am at 41:29. You can barely see the back of my head (redish/blond) I am right after two cute little babies. I still love it!
Found ya! AWESOME!!!! Way to go! [Hi-Five!]
Are you still floating? They would've put me in the funny farm, I'd be so nutty after that!! 😀
Take a picture of that cheek and frame it!!! 😀
There was an awful lot of kissing and hugging on that ropeline. Cindy – the back of your head is lovely! 🙂

Some dancing music for Cindy who got a kiss from our President yesterday! You GO Girl!!
Rainier and Atticus are adorable. "Martin Van Buren is the best president because I like his sideburns!" Kids say the darndest things! That interview just made my day!
And the hug that little blonde boy is giving the first lady I can't even describe. Such tenderness. What a sweet angel.
I watched that one minute scene again – still very touching. I'm glad you reminded us – it was fantastic to watch that show again. I was against it when it first started, but I'm now hooked and I can't wait for the new season (especially after Kerry Washington's wonderful endorsement of President Obama and her speech at the convention).
Judge imprisons Miami-Dade couple convicted in $45 million Medicare scam
A Miami federal judge sent a convicted drug trafficker and his wife to prison for lengthy sentences in a $45 million Medicare fraud case.
Good! Next, go scoop up the Governor of Florida and put him in a cell next door. Same crime, same punishment.
What sorry ? Even now a majority FL idjit seniors wold vote for mittbot overwhelmingly.
Anyone still awake – I just arrived home from visiting grandbaby – wee little love – it's 5pm in my world – so I watch Martin Bashir wipe out sarah palin – and then just found this – not sure where the original came from – but I assume is part of the family interview
"That is gonna get me in trouble if I answer that honestly," the wife the Republican presidential said in response to question from Neil Cavuto today about whether the media is fair to the Romney campaign. She added "we always feel like we are getting picked on more than anyone else, it's just what happens."
GOP women can't help but whinge – I wonder how they would EVER survive what President and Mrs Obama cope with from the media – all the time.
Has anyone asked Mitt recently about those tax returns? That is the media question I want to see – again and again and again
99ts, I used to like to stay away from the spouses, but it s clear Ann Romney is as whack out as her lying husband. How is Mitt being pick on? Mrs. Obama has had to deal with alot of B.S. concerning her husband, but she has handle it with grace and dignity, unlike Ann Romney who all she do is complain about how people are picking on them.
For some reason Letta's beautiful voice just kept floating through my week:
I absolutely love Letta Mbulu – one of my most favourite songs of all times is "Hareje". I can't find the music to that one, but here's another very cool one from her:
Hey Theo, now why am I not surprised to find someone on TOD who loves Letta! How cool is that. I was actually combing thru YouTube and haven't found that one yet either, and there's another too! Love it! Never surrender, between you & I & TOD we will find it!
Another perk from hanging out here at TOD is the wonderful music you get exposed to. Thanks for these two videos! I'd never heard of her before. More new music to download Yes! 🙂
I searched for about an hour last night, and could not find more than just a quick snippet. I ended up trapped in YouTube, listening to other South Africans who made beautiful music while in exile. Wonderful!
I hope Tammy. I had to turn it off. Between the moron moderators, and the moron lying POS ….I didn't last but a moment. I hope she kicks his ass.
OK, before I crash, this one's for TODers who can still shake a leg. Theo, I'm going to find that one Letta song — it's got to be somewhere on the webs. Meanwhile, we won't be too shaby w/ Manu Dibango & Angelique Kidjo who is one fabulous lady:
has this been posted already? i've been away a few days–aloha and see you tomorrow chips and tods!
hmmm–didn't mean for this to be a 'reply' to your comment, xtine. yes, i can shake a leg, but the link is about rlyin, and there's no overlap in those two topics!
OK, Pata Pata, one foot at a time, free to swing those hips, don't trip over those naughty mats~
New OFA ad-
A new ad everyday!
I love the new ad. Giving more tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires are not going to make us better off. It will make them better but not us, and for sure hitting us with a tax increase won't make us better off.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Friday raised biofuels targets for 2013 despite an ongoing legal battle with the oil-and-gas industry on the issue.
Refiners will be required to blend 1.28 billion gallons of biodiesel — which EPA includes in its definition of "advanced" biofuels — into traditional transportation fuel in 2013, up from 1 billion gallons this year.
"This action, which meets goals designated by Congress, is another step that strengthens America's energy security by reducing dependence on foreign oil," EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said Friday in a statement.
Poll is probably based on registered votors. Due to PA's voter suppression laws, I'm still going to work like I'm 20pts behind.
Nope – it's among LIKELY voters.
// "As the first post-convention poll out of Pennsylvania, the 11-point margin among likely voters underscores why the state is fading from the battleground radar. The Inquirer's last poll, fielded in late August, reported a 51 percent to 42 percent Obama advantage." //
And the voter suppression laws in PA are not going to make much difference in the turnout. That has already been factored in the polling models. PA is no longer considered a battleground state for that reason. But, as you said, we still have to work like we're 20pts behind – that goes for every state, even the deepest of blue.
Alycee, we all have to keep working our butts off, don't any of us sit back and assume it's in the bag, no no no. We can't do that.
Whoever is Filling in for Chris Hayes, it's all about This President this morning, NOT one mention of Willard and His overstepping His Boundaries, etc.
Not one mention of Willard politicizing Benghazi, nope, this is all about the President and Egypt and how he said they ate not an Ally etc…
This Show is Anti Obama, it always has been!
Is Egypt acting like a ally. I think POTUS was saying to the leader, leaders of Egypt we are not going to put up with our people being kill. So if you want our friendship, our money, act like a ally.
So from my Twitter TL, I see that Chris Hayes has Sam Seder (another Greenwald-type Libertarian) filling in for him today. Good thing I didn't bother turning on my TV this morning. It will remained turned off – thanks.
I think the Libertarians are confused. All of them HateDrones and the American Military, half of them love the Givernment programs and half do not.
What a Wierd Movement and Political Party, sort of a Pandering Party, for the extremists!
Lester Holt on the Today Show just asked their foreign policy "expert" if the unrest in the Middle East will erase all of Obama's foreign policy bona fides! The "expert" said he didn't think this was "ALL" Obama's fault—-OMG, duh!!!——but this will likely make people reassess the "Arab spring" and other changes in that region which have happened under his watch. If this wasn't the most shallow, most dishonest, most transparently manipulative exchange!——-inexcusable. I always think I cannot be more disgusted, and then I am.
This is what I wads afraid of, the Us Media sees an opportunity to smear the President!
Willard is not being mentioned, at all, it's all this Presudent and how He allowed this to happen, this Stab spring.
Taking a cue from Robney Policy adviser yesterday saying, if Robney were President this would not have happened.
Maybe? I do think Robney would have supported Mubarak and Ghadafi.
But, then their would be No Democracy over there.
Who knows, it's complicated… But, it's not the Presidents fault, it's that area of the Globe that cannot handle Democracy, they ate not used to it.
I'm not afraid. The MSM's manipulations are very transparent and that includes the antics of the so-called left like Klein, Maddow and Hayes. Romney's behavior has already raised serious flags to voters that this was an attempt to revive his dying campaign and to erode PBO's support. Like all other last-ditch, poorly-thought out attempts to shore up Republican votes and erode PBO's support, this one will backfire and will make things worse for Romney.
As I said earlier this week, the feigned outrage at Romney shown in the MSM on Wednesday was just to cover their asses and get people off their backs. They had already planned to switch and make it all about Obama. That's what we're seeing now. But it won't work, and whatever short-term gains for Romney or losses for Obama (one or two news cycles and a few skewed polls here and there), will soon be replaced by even much bigger gains for Obama (a decisive win in November) and losses for Romney (a humiliating defeat).
dotster3, to heck with these so call experts, tell me how can any sensible American sit there and say that what is going on over there is President Obama's fault. Those people got mad about a two bit piece of garbage movie denigrating their God. What we have seen has been leadership from the President during this situation. But what have we seen from Mitt Romney? A two bit hustler trying to take advantage of what happen to our people being kill. That isn't a leader. And I tell you another thing, I bet people have also like how S.O.S Hillary Clinton have carry herself. So the so call experts don't know everything.
Remember so call experts said the President was doom because of the economy. Remember.
By the way, contrary to MSM reports, the majority of the ME is not protesting the US. MSM is ginning up this chaos right before election hoping that it will help Mitt Romney or at least make it a much closer race than it seems to be heading for.
Yup. A reporter on AJ said that majority of egytians are opposed to all the violence, especially against US and today Cairo was back to normal.
How can our President controls what happens on the soil of another country. The American people who supports this President know that things happen and this will not diminish their support. If anything our convictions will be strengthened. Our President has proven time after time he works his butt off for the American people. He does not used an incident such as the embassy murders to embellish his foreign policy credentials. He has already proven his credentials.
The GOP does not care about the American people, they love war. President Obama understands the human sacrifice and the decrease in our national treasury to perpetrate the idea of extinguishing another life because of differences. We have a history from the beginning of our existence in this country of a group of people who tries to take advantage of others for material gain; the American Indian, slavery, women rights, the right to vote, civil rights, etc. This country has enough for all of us to share and coexist without undue hardships on anybody.
At this point in this election cycle, who supports the President, does and who does not support him, won't. Any shenanigans at this point in time is non effect. The GOP are fooling themselves. The sooner they reconcile the truth staring in their faces, the better off this country will be.
Life can be so simple with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
The religious extremists behind the film that set off all the violence and unrest——Nakoula has been taken in for questioning.
I wonder if he's in material breach in any way with the actors or any of the financing.
Good morning, TODville! Hope everyone has a relaxing weekend planned ahead. And some OFA vounteering, too!
Thought this would bring a smile to your faces!
mr. dotster says I say similar things in my sleep too—-only more amorous. 🙂
Mitt Romney's Muslim-Baiting Backers
On the opening night of the Republican National Convention, the cameras caught former UN ambassador John Bolton in the Romney family box, chatting amiably with Romney's son Tagg. Shortly before the convention, Bolton, an unpaid foreign policy advisor to Romney, rushed to the defense of Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, whose attempts to tie Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin to the Muslim Brotherhood were widely denounced, even by Republicans like John McCain.
Several weeks before the convention, Romney met in Denver with former Army lieutenant general Jerry Boykin, who was rebuked by President Bush in 2003 for his anti-Muslim, Crusade-like statements while still in uniform and subsequently found by the Pentagon Inspector General to have violated three internal rules when he delivered these speeches without clarifying that he was speaking in his private capacity. Boykin's "no mosques in America" and no first amendment rights for Islam statements led to his withdrawal as a West Point speaker this year, after protests by Iraq and Afghanistan vet groups.
Boykin recently became executive vice president of the Family Research Council, a measure of how Islamophobia has become an integral part of the hard right agenda.
Just watched an AJ piece called Image War, which showed how shrub and the neocons fucked up the american image in ME (embedded journalism,abu gharib etc.) and it ended with praising Obama for bringing back some sanity to american journalism (like not releasing bin laden's body etc.). I was furious seeing the ugly faces of shrub, dumbsfeld etc. again on teevee.
Ia. judge suspends Repub efforts to suppress the vote there. The damage I worry about there and other places where there have been new voting restriction efforts is mentioned here—–that this has already caused "confusion and mistrust" among some voters.
Listening to the appeal in Pennsylvania – I wonder what happens if you arrive at the polls and your address on your photo ID is different to your address on the voting register – not because either is wrong but rather because of spelling mistakes/typos – what if your name is spelt differently on both? In some weird way, it would be interesting to see what happened if those on the right were refused votes – they really aren't expecting that to happen.
I don't understand the fixation with "non citizens" – how does someone without citizenship get on the role in the first place? That is where the verification should be happening – not at the polls
I just finish listening to FLOTUS DNC speech again. I just love that speech, "being President doesn't change who you are, it reveals who you are."

4+1 phases power supply, with bigger silver aluminium heatsink: Heatsink of southbridge SB850: The main feature of BIOS is overclocking. The following illustration is TA890GXE with 300Mhz.

Testing platform: CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 910e MB: BIOSTAR TA890GXE DRAM: CORSAIR DOMINATOR CMD4GX3M2B1600C7 VGA: ATI Radeon HD 4290 HD: CORSAIR CMFSSD-128GBG2D POWER: be quiet!Straight Power Deluxe 400W Cooler: Thermaltake V1 AX OS: Windows7 Ultimate 64bit CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 910e is used, with 65W, and also an AMD low-voltage product. |
PSU: be quiet! latest version Straight Power Deluxe 400W, certified by 80Plus Bronze. Japanese solid capacitors, quiet 12cm FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearing) fan, and 87% conversion efficiency all make it possbile that there will be enough power supply to update this AMD platform, either using X6 CPU or basic VGA. Default performance testing: CPU 200 X 13 => 2600.1MHz DDR3 1600.2 CL7 7-7-21 1T VGA 698MHz Hyper 4 X PI 32M=> 26m 48.425s CPUMARK 99=> 361 Nuclearus Multi Core => 10859 Fritz Chess Benchmark => 13.43/6447 CrystalMark 2004R3 => 163303 CINEBENCH R11.5 CPU => 2.32 pts CPU(Single Core) => 0.79 pts PCMark Vantage => 9673 AMD Phenom II X4 910e, although without high clock, still can easily deal with almost all software; particularly with X4 multi-cores, this CPU shows great performance on drawing, conversion, multimedia, etc. 3DMARK2006 => 2247 StreetFighter IV Benchmark 1024 X 768 => 25.66FPS Biohazard5 Benchmark 800 X 600 => 14.2 fps Most consumers expect that for the sake of higher 3D performance, 890GX should be with the next generation HD 5X00; however, HD4290 is adopted finally. Compared with that of 785G HD4200 and 890GX HD429, the 3D performance shows little difference. Therefore, this time some people feel a bit of pity that 3D performance is not as expected after AMD releases new chipset. |
Overclocking performance testing: CPU 300 X 12.5 => 3750.2MHz DDR3 1600 CL7 7-7-21 1T VGA 1009MHz Hyper 4 X PI 32M=> 20m 42.477s CPUMARK 99=> 496 Nuclearus Multi Core => 16524 Fritz Chess Benchmark => 19.06/9150 CrystalMark 2004R3 => 212111 CINEBENCH R11.5 CPU => 3.26 pts CPU(Single Core) => 1.13 pts PCMark Vantage => 11667 Due to the differences of every testing software, 910e, after overclocked to 3750MHz, has 20~30% performance improved. C3 process has been adopted, so DRAM arguments are better; besides, the whole clock can be overclocked more 100~200MHz. 3DMARK2006 => 2547 StreetFighter IV Benchmark 1024 X 768 => 30.10FPS Biohazard5 Benchmark 800 X 600 => 17.6 fps The advantage of HD4290 is that CPU can be overclocked higher clock, and it is not necessary to add too much voltage to make the CPU reach 1009MHz. About the result of 3DMARK2006, compared with that of HD 4200, the 3D performance of HD4290 has 10~15% improved. As to Biohazard5 needing higher 3D ability, it is suggested to add extra VGA to make the game run more fluently. DDR3 bandwidth testing: Default CPU Frequency: 2600Mhz DRAM DDR3 1600 CL7 7-7-21 1T Sandra Memory Bandwidth - 12525 MB/s EVEREST Memory Read - 8976 MB/s Default CPU Frequency: 3750Mhz DRAM DDR3 1600 CL7 7-7-21 1T Sandra Memory Bandwidth - 13513 MB/s EVEREST Memory Read - 9526 MB/s DDR3 performance of AM3 structure is so-so, bandwidth performance is just ok. As for DDR3 frequency, the frequency was limited about 1600~1700, and some 890GX/890FX MB of the new generation performs over DDR3 1800. It is judged that AMD wants to improve DDR3 frequency first, hoping to improve DDR3 bandwidth performance with new structure in future. |
BIOSTAR TA890GXE Merits: 1. Motherboard material adopts whole Japanese solid capacitors, SATA 3.0, and 4+1 phase power supply. 2. The matching colour red makes the product appearance eye-catching. 3. The range of voltage adjusting in BIOS is wide, and options of other setting are many. 4. The overclocking range of CPU frequency is wide; after the testing, 300MHz is very steady. 5. The clock of HD4290 is higher, and has wider range for overclocking. Demerits: 1. BIOSTAR products are not very common in some countries. 2. The overclocking range of DDR3 is only about 1700, and compatibility of BIOS leaves some to be desired. 3. USB 3.0 is suggested to add on this motherboard. Performance: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ Material: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ Specification: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ Appearance: ★★★★★★★★★☆ Price: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ The default clock of 890GX HD 4290 is about 700MHz, a bit higher than 500MHz, the default clock of 785G HD 4200. At default setting, 3D performance improves a little; moreover, the overclocking range of HD4290 is wider than that of HD4200. Although AMD does not change GPU structure a lot, 890GX, with the rising clock, can improve 10~20% 3D performance. The main features of BIOSTAR products are parity and overclocking. This time, TA890GXE also shows excellent overclocking ability. The latest version of TA890GXE also supports ACC technology, and it is convenient for users with X2~X3 CPU. For consumers wanting to buy AMD Micro ATX platform in the near future, two options are being provided: cheaper 785G, and 890GX with higher price and specification. In my opinion, budget is the primary concern because it is easy to update X6 CPU in future; most AMD products are easy to expand with moderate price. In near future, I shall share testing report of AMD high-level platformX6 CPU with 890FX chipset. I hope AMD can make newer Leo structure perform higher performance, and release cheaper and better high-level products. |

I was a vendor at Old Congress Days selling my Aprons and Rocks and met a a wonderful Couple that own a Food Concession stand. They sold quite a variation of foods. They wanted to have some black aprons made for each of them with their name a logo on it, so this is how they turned out. I had a GREAT time doing this for them!!!!

Attachment 123073Attachment 123081
Hey guys, it's my first time posting on the site. Here is Black Betty. 1985 with 4.1L (160,000 miles). Bought it to be a personal party car with a buddy of mine for $800. We figured we could hire a sober friend to drive us around at night, and save ourselves a DUI or two (and it's cheaper than cabs everywhere). It was originally owned by a LA recording studio, so apparently bands like Aerosmith, Guns and Roses, White Snake, Slayer, etc have all partied in this thing. Knowing that, I should probably torch the interior! The car has been eating coolant so we recently pulled the engine, and have just finished tearing it down. It's a total mess. Trying to figure out next steps. Considering a 4.9L swap, but I don't know what's involved (need to do the research). It's a California car so SMOG is an issue. I'll start a project thread soon. EDIT: A 4.9L swap looks out of the question, maybe a 4.5L? (researching).
Attachment 123097
Looks good! :thumbsup:
:welcome: Cory! Looks like you scored a sweet limo for not much money. IIRC, CA law says you can only swap in a motor that was available on the car when new. It being an 85, I think you might be able to slip in a 368, which would have been available in the coachbuilders package for that year. Of course, the easiest and best swap would be a Chevy 350, but CA would not be amused. Among the many reasons CA sucks.
77CDV, I started a dedicated thread for the limo with an additional note on CA smog laws and a follow up question for you if you have a moment: http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...l#post10459697

Thx, i've got to take some more pictures of it later. I've recently waxed the entire vehicle and on Tuesday i'm gonna let a professional interior cleaner company make a total recond of the entire interior!
Hey JP, I tried to reply to your PM but it wouldn't let me because it says your inbox is full. :)
oh, well i emptied it now :)
Very nice!
Next to white, dark gray is a very classy color for a luxury car.
Now just get some proper whitewalls for all 4 wheels and you'll be all set! :)
Firmly washed and waxed! See this link for full resolution pictures! http://www.flickr.com/photos/aircraftsincruise/

Instead of having a sound play when a keyword comes up, he programmed this little monkey to wave its arms about. It's like the monkey's saying, "I found one, I found one!"
