Yemen: UN humanitarian leaders renew plea for international support
United Nations Humanitarian Chief Valerie Amos and World Food Programme (WFP) Executive Director Ertharin Cousin have marked their visit to Yemen with a call to governments in the region and around the world to increase support for humanitarian programmes there.
"Yemen is a country wracked by chronic poverty and underdevelopment, and millions of Yemenis are struggling to cope," said Ms. Valerie Amos. "People need food, water, education and health care.
"But they also want to know that there is investment to secure their future. We urgently need more funding to help those in need."
This year, the UN and its partners have appealed for US$703 million to meet the basic needs of communities across the country. So far only about 44 per cent of this – approximately $310 million – has been received.
Almost half of all Yemenis do not get enough to eat and need humanitarian assistance. Child malnutrition rates are among the highest in the world with close to half of Yemen's children under 5 years – around two million children – suffering from stunting. WFP and its partners, said Ms. Cousin, are providing food assistance to almost 5 million people.
"We are working to ensure families themselves are able to take care of their food needs through food for work, food for training and other income generating activities," said Ms. Cousin. "We count on the support of our donors and the strong partnership with the Government of Yemen to help communities free themselves from the cycle of hunger."
Multiple, concurrent humanitarian crises
Yemen is a country struggling to deal with multiple, concurrent humanitarian crises. Conflicts in the north and south have displaced hundreds of thousands of people, interrupting economies and devastating infrastructure. Even with the cessation of hostilities in the south, many are struggling to rebuild their lives. Much of Yemen's farmland is heavily contaminated with landmines.
In the north, 300,000 Yemenis are displaced from their homes. A further 238,000 refugees and many migrants from the Horn of Africa are also stranded in Yemen. Children continue to be recruited and used by armed groups while women and girls are vulnerable to gender-based violence.
Ms. Amos and Ms. Cousin travelled to northern Yemen where they met displaced families in the Al Mazraq camp as well as migrants at a centre in the town of Haradh. Earlier, they visited the port city of Hudaydah where they saw first-hand the efforts of UN agencies and humanitarian partners to combat malnutrition and food insecurity.
They visited a health centre and school in Marawith District on the outskirts of Hudeidah, where WFP and the UK NGO Islamic Relief are providing food to vulnerable families.
"One of the reasons that I came here is to see what kind of help you need," Ms Amos told a class of 14-16 year old girls at the school. "I am not sure we can build a hospital but we want to help children who are malnourished to get better."
"They want what millions around the world already have"
Earlier, the two aid chiefs met with senior government officials in the capital Sana'a, including President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, Prime Minister Mohammed Salem Basindwa and Foreign Minister Abu Baker Al-Qerbi, to discuss humanitarian needs and the challenges facing the country.
"The people of Yemen want peace, stability and security," said Ms. Amos at a press conference in Sana'a following her trip to the north.
"They want what millions around the world already have. They want to have work, they want to educate their children, they want to be able to support their families, they want to have healthcare when they need it. Our role is to support the people of Yemen."

The Little Calumet River Watershed is located in northwestern Indiana, draining approximately 133.8 square miles in Lake and Porter counties. Major streams included in the TMDL report are Little Calumet River, Burns Ditch, Deep River, Sand Creek, Coffee Creek and Reynolds Creek.
A comprehensive survey of the Little Calumet River Watershed was conducted by Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) and other local agencies (USGS, NOAA, NRCS, IDNR, Purdue University, Lake and Porter counties, Gary Sanitary District and the City of Chesterton) in 2000. The primary cause of impairment is Escherichia coli bacteria (E. coli). Pollution sources in the watershed include nonpoint sources from agriculture and pastures, land application of manure and urban and rural run-off, as well as point sources from straight pipe discharges, home sewage treatment system disposal and combined sewer overflow outlets.
TMDLs for the Little Calumet River watershed are established for E. coli and will address 13 impairments. Some of the recommended solutions to address the impairments include storm water controls, point source controls, manure management and habitat improvements.
A kickoff TMDL meeting was held on July 25, 2002 at the Northwest Regional Planning Commission, 6100 Southport Rd., Portage, Indiana, starting at 9:00 a.m.
A draft TMDL meeting was held on June 23, 2004 at the Northwest Indiana Regional Planning Commission, 6100 Southport Rd., Portage, Indiana starting at 6:00 p.m.
The 30-day public comment period for the draft Little Calumet River Watershed TMDL began on June 14, 2004 and ended on July 14, 2004.
U.S. EPA under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act approved the Little Calumet River Watershed TMDL report on January 28, 2005 for 13 impairments. TMDL reports identify and evaluate water quality problems in impaired water bodies and propose solutions to bring those waters into attainment with water quality standards.

The price of hams is expected to rise again next year.
People wanting to serve New Zealand ham at their Christmas dinner should order early or they may miss out, the pork industry says.
The warning comes amid predictions of a global pork shortage and news of a drop in New Zealand production of up to 30,000 pigs.
Some suppliers have already raised prices by up to 30 cents a kilo and the retail price is predicted to rise even more in the new year.
Globally, the production drop has been caused by rapidly rising feed prices, which have led to European herd sizes dropping by up to 13 per cent and the North American breeding herd hitting its lowest level in years.
In New Zealand, pig farmers have had to contend with cheap imports undermining their prices as well as the rising cost of feed, leading to a 10 per cent decrease in the size of the breeding herd.
Pork New Zealand chief executive Owen Symmans said people should order early to make sure they had a locally grown Christmas ham: "My advice to customers is to get in early and order now."
Christmas hams were always in demand, however the production drop would exacerbate that, Mr Symmans said. People would probably be able to buy imported pork products from supermarkets, though it might not be of the same quality.
"If people don't get in early, they'll get an inferior product."
Alan Wright, of Cherrywood Butchery in Tauranga, said pork prices would "definitely increase" because of the domestic and global shortage.
Pork imports had fallen because of the shortage in Europe and the US. However, New Zealand butchers had placed their Christmas orders months ago and should be meet the seasonal demand, he said.
"I'd be very surprised if people can't get a ham. People would be guaranteed to be a ham from the Cherrywood Butchery."
The latest New Zealand Pork newsletter says imported pork made up 45 per cent of the product in New Zealand retail outlets.

Comment Sound absolutely reasonable (Score 1) 948
Years back we needed people for a project involving formatting documents in Word and some scripting. We started out with requesting for peple that know office and did some programming. these people were more expensive and were mediocre at best. We dropped them all, and requested some random people with 'computer literacy', we requested 3 times as much as needed, with the understanding that we would drop 2 thirds within a week.
We did a day training and let them work on the most simple documents, we sifted through a third within 2 day's, most of them just finished students that were looking for a job, but were not able to find a job in their field (mathematician, chemists), and some high school dropouts. At the end of the week we had 10 people we did the project with, a few of them stuck around after the project for several months or years to become projectleaders, surprising programmers and 'MSWord Wizzards'.
The students were afaik able to get a job in their field of choice after working with us.
And the best part: It was a sound business decision.


text: IMO yes. I mean come on, it doesn't matter where you stand on the political issues to see the guy gave out the location and movements of troops he was with thus endangering their mission and their lives - what a tool! And then he goes on later that day to insult his former employers at NBC for what he felt was MSNBC spreading lies about him being told to leave... even though it was totally true. What an oaf! Geraldo Rivera has never been a monument to high-quality journalism, but seems pretty low even for him. Apparently, Fox News (Geraldo's current employer) has arranged it so Geraldo will leave Iraq voluntarily instead of being kicked out by the US gov't, pretty generous if you ask me. To be "fair and balanced" though, he shouldn't have been given this much information anyway... let's face it, most of us wouldn't trust him with the location of our hide-a-keys, much less vital battle plans.

By Chris Kieffer/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – The institution entrusted with preparing citizens for a rapidly changing world has been one of the most resistant to innovation, a well-respected education expert said on Tuesday.
Bill Daggett told an audience of almost 1,000 people at the BancorpSouth Arena that America's schools are still doing many of the same things they did nearly 100 years ago for no reason other than tradition.
Those schools are educating students better today than they ever have, said Daggett, an internationally-recognized leader in the field. The problem is the world is changing much more quickly and American students are entering school much less prepared.
"Our schools aren't failing," he said during the Forum on the Future of Education. "The problem is that in the world outside, schools are changing faster than ours."
The forum was funded by CREATE Foundation's Toyota Education Enhancement Fund. It was intended to help an audience of Northeast Mississippi educators, parents and community leaders better understand changes that are coming.
"Innovation will really be the secret for where we need to go for our children's education," said Mississippi Interim Superintendent of Education Lynn House, who also spoke at the forum.
Schools must be more open to technology, Daggett said, noting new inventions like more powerful Internet search engines, watches and eyeglasses with Internet capabilities and automated cars – innovations that are all available today.
"We are preparing kids for a world you can hardly comprehend," he said.
Schools must have higher standards, use real-world application and teach students to think rather than memorize, he said. Those are the changes that the Common Core State Standards seek to address, he said.
The standards are new curriculum guidelines that 46 states, including Mississippi, have agreed to adopt beginning in 2014-15. They are not a national mandate, he said, but were developed by the Council of Chief State School Officers after studying the 75 most-rapidly improving elementary, middle and high schools in the country.
The key, he said, is a focus on preparing students for college and careers. With the new standards will come new state tests that will be harder but necessary. Success will require community support.
"I predict our kids will have a hard time with it," he said. "When they do, circle together and say we know this is hard, but if we will prepare you for your future, we need to teach you to think."
Daggett praised Mississippi for raising its state standards during the past seven years. In 2005, Mississippi had more students proficient in fourth-grade reading than any other state because it had the lowest standard of proficiency.
Since then, it has greatly increased the score students must reach in order to be considered proficient, a step that means many fewer students reach that mark. Many other states did the opposite, he said.
"You did the right thing," he said. "You saw the world was changing and said you said you need to make the standards tough.
"No state in the country has worked harder in the last seven years to raise standards than the state of Mississippi. I have consistently been telling that to audiences around the country."
More work still needs to be done, he said, and the Common Core Standards are part of that.
Students will better be able to meet those higher standards, he said, if they are taught in a relevant way. That means real-world examples and using interests like arts or sports to teach concepts.
He also called for schools to teach reading at a higher level so students are better able to understand complex documents like contracts and manuals they will encounter as adults.

What?? Was it really two months since I last (actually first and only) posted a diary on advogato?? What a lazy bastard I am...
OK, now for the good stuff. Yesterday I found out I'm a father! I and my wife are extremely happy, and I'm also extremely worried. But it's very cool, a very nice sensation... Now I have eight months and some days to do linux related allnighters, after that I'll be doing baby related ones. :)
Yesterday I coded a small fault injector for linux's kmalloc, Arnaldo is using it in his quest for global peac^W clean up of the kernel. It is very small and useful, and allows one to configure a probability that kmalloc fails and returns NULL. Did you code a driver today? Did you check your kmallocs? Anyway, we're planning for including generalized fault injectors in the kernel, such as for request_region, request_irq, etc. Stay tuned for news on that.
I'll try to get some homepage, so that such patches can be easily distributed. Later I'll write some more. I'm finishing my MSc dissertation (that is, if my advisor will still have me after all this time), which not surprisingly is a kernel level communication fault injector. Using that knowledge for a very nice generalized fault injector will be cool, and I hope to dive into that soon.

People were knocked over in lines to get this game, and it didnt disappoint. It has surpassed its prequel with its gameplay, graphics, and -not by much-voice acting.
It stars another C average, middle of the road, day to day sucker, not a genetically cloned bear wrestler, who is looking for his dead wife in the town of Silent Hill. The choices and actions taken throughout the game determine the ending, and if you liked the first, you'll enjoy the second.
The plot is somewhat different, not revolving around a cult so much as the protagonists in ability to cope with his wifes death, which gives this game a great twist.
While the voice acting is better, it still sounds like many of the characters are acting in slow motion. except for a few emotional outbursts, the characters just dont seem as scared as you'd think they'd be locked up in a satan-town.

You may be right, but for all our sakes, I hope you're wrong. I'm not so sure she's going to be pro-amnesty or pro-illegal immigration. Living in El Paso for several years taught me that some of the most stringent opponents to illegal immigration are the LEGAL hispanic immigrants, who worked for their positions and pay taxes, etc... Hopefully she'll be in that camp, but I don't pretend to know. I just have an unfounded hunch, that she will be far more conservative than anyone predicts once she dons that robe.
Our country will survive. It may change, but it has changed before, and with EVERY change, people predicted doom and gloom, but we survive.

I just installed a Spyder 3 Express to help me calibrate my laptop monitor colors. But before it even lets me calibrate, it says I should set my color temperature to 6500K. Well, my Dell laptop is default set to 9300K. I called tech support but they have no idea how to change it.
Has anyone used a Spyder on a Dell laptop? Does it still work, or is it useless if I can't set the color temperature right to begin with?
Thanks everyone!

Exhibit focuses on women in India, Sept. 29-Jan.6
Posted September 20, 2007; 10:29 a.m.
"Beloved Daughters: Photographs by Fazal Sheikh," a provocative exhibition of works by the artist, activist and Princeton alumnus, will be on view at the Princeton University Art Museum from Saturday, Sept. 29, through Sunday, Jan. 6.
The exhibition includes 150 black-and-white photographs in two galleries, uniting two projects that are focused on women in India. The first, "Moksha," which was completed in 2005, explores the lives of dispossessed widows who travel to the holy city of Vrindavan with the ultimate goal of reaching "moksha," or heaven. Its sequel, "Ladli" (or "beloved daughter"), which Sheikh finished this year, examines the perils faced by girls and young women in the changing conditions of modern India.
"Fazal Sheikh's photographs take the viewer into private worlds that are both troubling and deeply moving," said Susan Taylor, museum director. "We look forward to the discussions this exhibition will provoke, both here on the Princeton campus and in our community at large."
Since graduating from Princeton in 1987, Sheikh has worked with displaced communities in South Asia, Africa and the Americas. In 2005 he was awarded a MacArthur Foundation "genius grant" and the Henri Cartier-Bresson International Award, a prestigious photography prize.
Pairing intense camera portraits with testimony from his subjects, Sheikh pursues what he has called "a sense of common ground" between worlds on either side of the lens. Of this exhibition, he said, "The stories told here will come as a shock to many." The girls and women in "Ladli" tell stories of domestic slavery and forced prostitution, of wife-murderers who escape public trial, and of female children who were aborted, abandoned or killed. At the same time, the widows in "Moksha," sequestered in Vrindavan, often describe the solace they take from their state of isolation.
To mark the opening of the exhibition, Sheikh will present a lecture on his work at 5 p.m. Sept. 29 in McCosh 50. A panel discussion on the exhibition -- featuring Princeton faculty members Emmet Gowin, Alexendar Nehamas, Katherine Newman and Gyan Prakash -- is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 2, in 101 McCormick Hall.
Exhibitions of Sheik's work have been held at Tate Modern museum in London, the International Center of Photography in New York and the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation in Paris. His photographs are in the permanent collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the George Eastman House in Rochester, N.Y., and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. In 2001 he launched the International Human Rights Series and began posting his projects, including "Moksha" and "Ladli," online at www.fazalsheikh.org.
The Princeton University Art Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday.

The lepromin skin test is used to determine what type of leprosy a person has.
Leprosy skin test; Hanson disease - skin test
A sample of inactivated (unable to cause infection) leprosy-causing bacteria is injected just under the skin, usually on the forearm, so that a small lump pushes the skin up. The lump indicates that the antigen has been injected at the correct depth.
The injection site is labeled and examined 3 days, and again 28 days, later to see if there is a reaction.
People with dermatitis or other skin irritations should have the test performed on an unaffected part of the body.
If your child is to have this test performed, it may be helpful to explain how the test will feel, and even demonstrate on a doll. Explain the reason for the test. Knowing the "how and why" may reduce the anxiety your child feels.
When the antigen is injected, there may be a slight stinging or burning sensation. There may also be mild itching at the site of injection afterwards.
This test is a research tool that helps classify the different types of leprosy. It is not recommended as the main way to diagnosis leprosy.
People who don't have leprosy will have little or no skin reaction to the antigen. Patients with a particular type of leprosy called lepromatous leprosy will also have no skin reaction to the antigen.
A positive skin reaction may be seen in patients with specific forms of leprosy, such as tuberculoid and borderline tuberculoid leprosy. Patients with lepromatous leprosy will not have a positive skin reaction.
There is an extremely small risk of an allergic reaction, which may include itching and, rarely, hives.
This test is used primarily as a research tool and only helps in the classification of leprosy. It should not be used to establish a diagnosis of leprosy.

Two nights a week, guests at the Holiday Inn Express in Corinth are treated do a home-cooked meal, on the house.
And Bobbie Shadburn is the one preparing it.
"Tuesday and Wednesday nights we're usually full to capacity with business travelers, so those are the nights I cook," said Shadburn, who has been with the hotel for almost four years.
Last week, she prepared taco soup with tortilla chips, jalapeño cornbread and a key lime cake on Tuesday night, and on Wednesday she made Ro-tel chicken, rolls and a Snowball Cake.
"I enjoy meeting the people who come here," she said. "We had eight people here from the Czech Republic that were here for eight weeks training at Kimberly-Clark and they were great. I've had people that came here two years ago and ate and they'll come back and tell me what I fixed them for dinner right down to the dessert."
Shadburn, 72, who grew up in the Hightown community in Alcorn County, has always liked to cook. She had a restaurant for more than four years called Hinkle Creek, but she leased it out when she went to work at the hotel.
Even on the days she works, she still finds time to cook for Billy, her husband of 55 years. And she's happy to feed her four children, nine grandchildren and 11 great-grands when the occasion arises.
She also likes to cook for a group of widows she and her husband play cards with every Thursday night.
"Usually I ask them if they have something they want me to fix," she said. "They might say spaghetti or chicken pot pie or pinto beans, cornbread and fried potatoes. And I always have a dessert."
In fact, desserts are Shadburn's specialty. She even took cake-decorating classes at the vo-tech.
"I do love pretty desserts," she said. "There's different tips I've picked up through the years. Sometimes I'll look through a cookbook and get an idea and then come up with something on my own."
Shadburn proudly admits she's never set her kitchen on fire, but she did once have a pressure cooker explode.
"I was cooking white butterbeans and I put them on and walked outside to do something," she said. "Our daughter was there and she was expecting, and after it blew up, we had to help her out from under the kitchen table. She was scared to death. My grandson was born the next day."
Do you know a good cook? Send your nominations to Ginna Parsons, Cook of the Week, P.O. Box 909, Tupelo, MS 38802. Or you can fax them to (662) 842-2233 or email them to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bancolombia SA (CIB), Colombia's largest bank, will assume control of Interbolsa SA's (ITBLY) local peso bond operations, Bloomberg's Oscar Medina and Christine Jenkins report today:
"Interbolsa ceded to Bancolombia all the operations it has associated with public debt so the market can function today without any problem or holdup," [Colombia Finance Minister Mauricio] Cardenas said in an interview today with Caracol Radio.
Chief Securities Regulator Gerardo Hernandez told reporters in Bogota that government bonds managed by Interbolsa are worth 1.6 trillion pesos ($881 million). The agreement was reached in the early hours of the morning, Hernandez said.
Late last week, this blog noted that Colombia's financial markets regulatory agency moved to take control of Interbolsa, the country's largest stock broker, after it warned it was suffering liquidity constraints.

The advantages of this testing methodology is that the results are known immediately, it is cost effective, and it is a useful intervention and confrontation tool. On-site urinalysis is only a screening test. Therefore, if an offender denies a positive test, a second confirmation (laboratory) test must be conducted on the urine sample prior to any court hearing.
The laboratory is certified by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). The laboratory conducts an initial screening test on a urine sample, then retest a positive result using a gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) confirmation test. The laboratory tests a specimen for multiple drugs, and the laboratory urinalysis is more expensive than the on-site test.
The breath alcohol on-site test measures at a .02 percent level within 30 seconds when an offender blows into it. The screening test is a cost effective test with immediate results.
Outpatient treatment provides therapeutic activities for offenders while they maintain residence and employment in the community. The focus of the programs is on treatment and the provision of ancillary services. Outpatient services are provided to offenders on a variety of intensity levels statewide (i.e., education classes, outpatient treatment, intensive outpatient treatment, and day or night treatment).
Residential treatment involves a structured, live-in, non-hospital environment, focusing upon all aspects of substance abuse rehabilitation including ancillary services such as vocation and education programs.
Community Corrections is responsible for the supervision of approximately 147,000 offenders annually. These are individuals that have received community sanctions such as probation, administrative probation, drug offender probation, community control, and pretrial intervention. The following pages provide an overview of the treatment programs available in each of the five regions and twenty (20) judicial circuits.

Compare great Lexus Interim Service and MOT prices in Stepney with Who Can Fix My Car.
Top notch service. Dan picked up my car dirty, did a full service, brake pads and brake fluid change and dropped it back off to me clean and shiny the next evening. Did me a great deal also! Will definitely be going back to Car Technic in the future.
My experience of major service + MOT (BMW 1 series) has been great with Car Technic. Daniel is a very competent mechanic who knows his business well. He is polite and easy to deal with. I really liked his frequent, honest and straightforward communication. No pushing whatsoever...... He also identified/rectified an issue which had been caused by some dodgy work by another bloke months ago. Anyway car seems to be in great shape..... Thank you!
Car Technic delivered a great service for a great price. Would highly recommend
Daniel is a good guy, collected and dropped car off when convenient for me. No fuss, easy and the car is sorted. Couple of new tyres needed so price higher than estimated. Very happy and would use again.
Very happy with the service. Picked my car up and delivered at the end of the day. This is First class service for me and value for money. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and relatives and to any one.
good job
Anthony did great job for a fair price. Next time I will definetely ring ahead to check he will be in the garage before setting out.
Perfect job without any additional cost. On time with the good price. One of my head light was not working. They fix it without any additional cost. Definitely I will use this garage in the future. Highly recommended.
Could Never Recommend this Garage - Agreed price was £50 for diagnosing issue. Then Anthony said he could recalibrate lock if he had an extra 3hrs. They closed in 30mins when I collected car he wanted £150. He said he recalibrated lock however it was gauranteed to fail! So why recalibrate? Started car no lights, worse experience ever..stay well clear.
Excellent mechanic, great work, great price, will always use this mechanic from now on.
Fantastic ! Adam was fast efficient and very friendly used a very good brand replacement part Excellent service and highly recommended. Adam is now my mechanic of choice. Thanks very much for helping me get back on the road the work. Car is working perfectly, now. Thank you.
Better service than any other garage I have ever been to. Don't think you will get a better mechanic in London. Talked through all the problems and diagnosed the car fully. Very happy with the whole job and would use again.
Excellent service and highly recommended. Adam is now my mechanic of choice. Thanks very much for the work. Car is working perfectly, now.
After my car broke down I found JAGG autos on this site. I choose his offer due to the postives ratings he got and Ibam glad that I did. My car couldn't be driven to a clutch and DMF fault. Jagg came down recovered my car, repaired the car faults including a bonnet cord fault that I had all within the qoutes that he had given. Theres was no hidden charges and during the repairs I was given regular updates. I am so glad I choose JAGG Autos and would be taking all my future motoring needs to him.
Friendly quick service and gave advice for future. Highly recommended.
Very professional, very impressed with their service!
Amazing work, quick and no bad surprises on payment. Car drives fine and brakes stopped squeaking. This will be my main goto garage from now on !
Incredibly polite, bang on the quote and a lot cheaper than any other garage. I was nervous using a new garage but I'll definitely use them again if needed.
A bit chaotic when I arrived and the car wasn't ready until an hour after the agreed collection time. I also asked them to look into a rubbing sound coming from the car which they said they had fixed but hadn't.
Done my car really good work would recommend
Great job, exactly as described. Would happily use Bodyteq again.
couldn`t find the problem
the quote was £75 incl VAT but that was not the case
Brilliant ! EGR valve was cleaned, not the cheapest labour rate, but definitely worth it, quick and efficient, no problem on the car anymore. Will use again ! I also really appreciate the fact that the mechanic keep you informed through whatsapp with pictures of the process.
Awesome garage with excellent value for money. Ade is extremely helpful!
honest, good price, neatly complete job
Good communication, quick turnaround and very reasonably priced. Will return for any other fixes needed.
Fixed my front driver side headlight and passenger side bulb. I was very impressed with the speed and excellent customer service provided. I would recommend and I would use again.

IG-89, is the San Mateo TRU the one at the Bridgepoint shopping center? I was there yesterday; all they had was the Ketwol wave and a shelf full of Anniversary 2-packs.
IG-89, is the San Mateo TRU the one at the Bridgepoint shopping center? I was there yesterday; all they had was the Ketwol wave and a shelf full of Anniversary 2-packs.
There were 2 when I got there Friday afternoon. I got one and left the other.
The cashier was saying they sold like a dozen on that day alone! WTF? I thought whiney collectors were saying they were gonna leave this one alone.
Anywaze, where are Preview waves showing up? I've heard reports of Walmarts and TRU....but what's going on at Target????
Latest fromt the northbay/SonoCO:
TRU got the AT-ST set last week. I missed it but was told they only got two cases in & they were gone within an hour.
Damn! Having a job just gets in the way of collecting sometimes...how am I supposed to live at the stores if I've got to work!?!
Everywhere else still has gobs of anniversary sets, deluxe figures (especially Leia) and Ketwols.
Thanks for the replies about scalping everyone. I'll continue to reply to these threads too. Hearing about and sharing finds is just too enjoyable to stop.
Over the weekend, I searched 4 TRUs, 4 Targets, 2 Wal-Marts, and 1 Kmart along the Peninsula. I found some of the Preview wave (enough to complete the foursome) at only two of the Targets, and nada at all the other stores. No AT-STs or BoShek wave. I also saw the Lego Jedi Starfighter at the Wal-Marts (and maybe 1 or 2 of the Targets).
I agree, work does really get in the way of toy huntin'. I mean, sheesh, how am I to continue reliving my youth when I can only do it on the weekends or evenings? If it weren't for getting paid, I'd have a good mind to quit my job!
I am blind to the value of this pain...
Well, I work too and sometimes have a tough time getting things. However, I have a friend who apparently makes a living out of doing nothing (he does not scalp to my knowledge). Anyway, I forwarded the AT-ST SKU to him, and he picked one up for himself and me on Friday at Hayward TRU.
OK I finally have two of the sneak preview figures at lunch time today. I asked a Target employee if they had any other boxes and she said that they put everything out this morning and she saw someone buy almost all of them before noon. (That sounds like a scalper to me.)
I also checked Walmart in Mt View and there was no sign of Snowspeeders or tie bombers.
Ed S.
Yeah, I also checked that Wal-Mart last night, and nothing. In fact, there's really no space for anything, much less TIE Bombers and Snowspeeders. Hopefully they're not putting them on some other shelf, like in housewares or something.
I am blind to the value of this pain...
I have never, ever found anything at this Walmart. When does this place ever get stocked??? Seems like scalpers have gone through this place before each of my visits.
I'd actually like to know when the shelves get stocked at Walmart because I'd like to at least have a fighting chance one day. Oh wells.
In regards to the Target finds of Zam Wessel and the droid (???), it is my belief that each of the sneak peak figures come in separate cases.
TRU and WalMart tend to put stuff out en'mass so I was able to get all four figs at once. Target, however, tends to put out cases at 1 or 2 at a time. Thus, the other two figs. (Jango and Clone Trooper) probably hit on a different day or have yet to hit. Keep hitting the Target in the morning.
Latest report from the North Bay.
Finally found the AT-ST at TRU yesterday. Had to ask for it at the register where I was told they had one box left. The employee brought a fresh unopened box out of the stock room but all four were in less than desirable shape. It makes no sense to me that a store with an exclusive would only get in 3 cases (12 individual AT-STs) for a city of over 150,000. They also had remnants of the FX-7 wave. Managed to get FX-7 and Amidala but no Rebel Trooper or Imperial Officer.
This morning I saw all four Sneak Preview figures at Target. They do in fact all come in the same case. Jango and the Clone Trooper are just the hottest two figures.
At K-Mart (yes I still check there once in awhile) they had the AOTC Jedi Starfighter. I haven't opened it yet but it seems like it's a real piece of crap. It's not packaged well because it rattles around in the box like there is no inside packing whatsoever. I know that it's supposed to pay homage to the 70's line but I still HATE the new AOTC packaging. It somehow looks really cheap to me.
We seem to have suddenly gotten an overabundence of the Lando/Tessek wave. They were everywhere this morning but still no signs of the Teebo wave.
Both the local Wal-Marts still have nothing but the Duros wave.
I did notice that one of the area pharmacies (Rite-Aid) are now carrying star wars figures again, they had Luxe X-Wing, EW Vader and Han so it might be worthwhile to include them on rounds when you go out.

Catch-22 is alive and well and living — where else? — in Washington.
When two Democratic members of the US Senate's intelligence oversight committee, Ron Wyden of Oregon and Mark Udall of Colorado, asked the National Security Agency to give them a rough idea of how many people the NSA has spied on inside the United States, they got an absurdist answer straight out of Joseph Heller's novel.
More than a year after the request, the super-secret spy agency told the senators: we can't tell you; to do so would violate the privacy rights of the people we were — or are — spying on.
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 2008 gave the government new authority to collect communications — phone calls, e-mails, text messages — of suspected or possibly suspected terrorists who are foreigners outside the US. The legislation was supposed to protect the privacy of people on the other end of those communications, that is, those inside the US.
Wyden and Udall are attempting to exercise the oversight that the surveillance act itself requires. But they are being thwarted not only by espionage establishment, but by their own committee chair.
The intelligence oversight chair, Senator Dianne Feinstein of California, says that oversight authority is optional. Her position is a perverse form of "don't ask, don't tell." If legislative oversight of domestic spying is indeed optional, then it's worthless.
Has Feinstein learned nothing from the massive warrantless wiretapping conducted by the administration of George W. Bush?
If Feinstein has not, then Wyden certainly has. As a result of the stonewalling he has encountered, Wyden is quite rightly blocking the proposed five-year extension of the surveillance act.
The age of international terror in which we now live may sadly require more aggressive intelligence gathering. But are citizens to assume that they can trust President Barack Obama to be more constitutionally conscientious simply because he is not Bush, not a neo-conservative?
If congressional Democrats think a president of their own party is more reliable than a Republican, they should think again. The national security state was, after all, the invention of President Harry S. Truman, a Democrat.
All of this is, in and of itself, disturbing enough. But with the Obama administration preparing to employ unpiloted drones for domestic surveillance, America should get its hackles up.
At the moment, Washington and the mainstream media are fixated on the overseas killing of terrorist targets and the collateral bloodletting of neighboring civilians that results from drone attacks.
Little apparent thought is being expended on the constitutional implications of domestic drone surveillance, of the government having eyes and ears in the sky.
Drones will be more capable of monitoring the population under an even more all-encompassing watch than the sophisticated but static methods now employed by intelligence overlords.
Does Feinstein think oversight of domestic spying via drones should be optional?
One senator who does not is libertarian Republican Rand Paul of Kentucky. That's right, son of Ron and spawn of the Tea Party.
Paul has submitted legislation requiring a warrant for drone surveillance. And he is dead right to do so. The Phoenix does not agree with Paul on many things, but his concern for the integrity of the nation's constitutional rights and the almost sure probability that those rights will be violated by domestic drone flights is admirable.
Obama should order the NSA to answer Wyden and Udall's questions about the extent of domestic surveillance. And we urge a Democratic senator to come forward and co-sponsor Paul's warrant bill. John Kerry, are you game?

It's Showtime Japan/REBELS.9 Results: Masahiro Yamamoto Earns It's Showtime 61kg Title Shot
- Written by Dave Walsh
Earlier today at Differ Ariake, It's Showtime Japan and REBELS copromoted their second event together, It's Showtime Japan 4 and REBELS.9, headlined by an It's Showtime 61kg MAX #1 contender's bout.
In the main event, former AJKF Featherweight champion and 2009 Krush Lightweight GP winner Masahiro Yamamoto defeated former RISE 60kg champion Kan Itabashi for a second time on the strength of a 3rd round flying knee knockdown by unanimous decision on scores of 30-27(x3), 30-28 and 29-28. The win puts Yamamoto back on a 2-fight win streak and makes him the #1 contender for the It's Showtime 61kg championship, currently held by Javier Hernandez. The last time the two met Yamamoto was on a 5 fight win streak, including his Krush tournament win, winning 10 of his last 11 fights while Itabashi was riding an 8 fight win streak including back to back title defenses of his RISE belt over TURBΦ and Keiji Ozaki. Yamamoto won that fight by unanimous decision, but went on a 4-fight winless streak immediately after before defeating Arita Tsukahara to earn the right to face Itabashi. Itabashi won his place in this fight by defeating Genki Yamamoto at the first It's Showtime Japan event in what turned out to be Genki's last fight. This win restores a lot of momentum for the 28 year old Masahiro Yamamoto that had been lost over the past year and a half. His matchup with Hernandez should be an extremely entertaining fight. Hernandez is set to take on former 61kg champion Sergio Wielzen, who defeated Yamamoto, in a non-title fight in Spain at It's Showtime 53 on November 12th.
In the co-main event, Hinata was able to defeat South Korean fighter Baek Min-Cheol via a body kick KO at 1:01 into the first round. For Hinata, it is a bounce back from his one-sided loss to 70kg kingpin Giorgio Petrosyan as well as a tune up for his fight at the big It's Showtime January 28th show against Gago Drago.
WPMF Japan Welteweight champion Daiki Watabe picked up a much needed win with a unanimous decision over former J-Network Super Lightweight champion Tomo Kiire on scores of 29-27(x2), 29-28 and 29-26(x2). Watabe was riding a two fight losing streak with a loss to Chi Bin Lim in RISE as well as a loss to T-98 at the first It's Showtime Japan event. Up next for Watabe could be a defense of his WPMF title against newly crowned J-Network Welterweight champ Masato Otake who is looking to be one of the hottest prospects in Japan at the moment.
In REBELS action, WPMF Japan Featherweight champion Yosuke Morii picked up a 3rd round KO win over a Lumpinee ranker. If Morii continues winning and Genji Umeno wins his next fight for the WPMF World title, the two could meet each other with the WPMF Japan and World titles on the line as well as a spot in the Lumpinee Stadium feathweight rankings. {jcomments on}

Broiled swordfish steaks and a fresh spicy salsa make these seafood wraps sizzle with flavor.
The torpedo-shaped swordfish gets its name from the long, flat sword-like bill that projects out of the upper part of the jaw. It uses the "sword" to attack its prey and, believe it or not, an occasional ship!
Warm tortillas by heating them in an ungreased skillet over medium heat 15 to 30 seconds, turning at least once. Or wrap several tortillas in dampened microwavable paper towels and microwave on High 20 to 30 seconds or until warm.

In November of 2010, more than 80 percent of voters empowered the Town Council to take on the fire district issue. In May, the council approved a resolution, outlining their request for the General Assembly to issue a new charter for the proposed combined district.
Sen. Ryan W. Pearson (D-Dist. 19, Cumberland, Lincoln) introduced the bill (2013-S 0958Aaa) at the request of the town of Cumberland and added taxpayer protections. He said the final product is the result of compromises from various parties who have a stake in the issue.
"Merging Cumberland's fire districts not only makes the best fiscal sense, but is also a direct response to the will of the people," Senator Pearson said. "The taxpayers asked, and we were able to deliver. The new charter provides the voters of Cumberland with the ability to elect the new fire committee directly in a general election so they can be held accountable for their decisions. In addition, it provides the first-ever tax cap to protect the town's taxpayers. The revised legislation has the support of all four fire districts, the mayor and the Town Council."
The Senate unanimously passed Senator Pearson's bill on June 25, 2013. Last night, the House passed Pearson's bill on a vote of 62 to 3.
The bill includes an element that would require the district to model its budget process in the fire charter after the open process outlined in the Cumberland Town Charter. The new provisions require public hearings and public notice prior to any budget action. Additionally, the legislation includes a clear referendum process that provides for the ability of any registered voter to petition for a town referendum on any issue related to the budget.
"I had two bills in the House this year, one being a companion to Senator Pearson's bill, that support the notion of one fire district in Cumberland," said Rep. James N. McLaughlin (D-Dist. 57, Cumberland, Central Falls), who sponsored the House companion bill. "There were several amendments brought forth on the House floor tonight by Rep. Karen MacBeth that I felt would enhance this bill, and they failed. But ultimately, I support this legislation and know that it is in the best interest ofCumberland to unite the districts."
Rep. Mia A. Ackerman (D-Dist. 45, Cumberland, Lincoln), a cosponsor of the House bill (2013-H 6194A), added: "We went through constant revisions and compromise before settling on this plan. One of the more contentious points was the multi-tiered tax rate for businesses, which was in the initial bill. I fought hard to eliminate that provision because I know how much it would negatively impact businesses in Cumberland. I know this is something that voters have wanted for years, and I was glad I could be a part of history."
Sen. Roger A. Picard (D-Dist. 20, Woonsocket, Cumberland) cosponsors the Senate legislation. Other cosponsors of the House bill include Representatives Robert D. Phillips (D-Dist. 51,Woonsocket, Cumberland), Raymond A. Hull (D-Dist. 6, Providence, North Providence), David A. Bennett (D-Dist. 20, Warwick, Cranston) and Joseph M. McNamara (D-Dist. 19, Warwick,Cranston).

Reply from CA Oceans and Fisheries about Skeena netting
Hi all,
I'm a longtime gearchucking lurker around here. You guys have a great forum and I enjoy checking in on a regular basis. I recently emailed Canada's Oceans and Fisheries folks about netting at the mouth of the Skeena after seeing Sparkey's call to arms. For what it's worth, here's their reply.
"Thank you for your email of July 30, 2002, where you express your concern at
the level of salmon fishing at the mouth of the Skeena River this summer.
Your main concern was regarding the incidental catch of steelhead. I want to
assure you that the Skeena steelhead returns are in excellent shape.
Starting in 1989, the Department moved to a more selective method of harvest
to protect various stocks of concern, including steelhead, coho, and some
wild sockeye stocks. Through a combination of timed openings / closures,
fishing gear restrictions, and selective fishing methods we have managed to
reduce the impact on the steelhead runs to a considerable degree. An example
is the pioneering selective seine fishery conducted at the mouth of the
Skeena, which began in 1989, This was a brail-and-sort fishery, and was a
pre-cursor of how we now do business throughout BC. In 1998, we moved to
daylight fisheries and had a portion of the gillnet fleet use weedlines.
Starting in 2001, we have moved to a selective gillnet fishery. This fishery
uses such methods as short sets and half-length nets, to ensure that the
fish released from the net are still alive.
For 2002, the steelhead are again returning to the Skeena in excellent
numbers. The current indications from the Tyee test fishery put this year's
return at the 11th highest in the 47 years that the test fishery has been
Again, thank you for bringing your concerns to my attention. I am confident
that working together with the Province and all fishing sectors, we can
ensure the continuing health of the Skeena River steelhead runs.
Sincerely Yours,
David Einarson
Area Chief, Resource Management, North Coast Area"

This was the same response that I recieved...I precieved it as a sort of "So what....we dont care...we are going to net anyways."
Though I did hear the run was stronger then normal then this year which is good news....

Selective gillnetting! Now I've heard them all!
Thanks for bringing this to our attention Bruce.
I hate to say it but this is typical DFO (Department of Fisheries and Oceans) stuff. I went after them a few years back about netting in the Fraser during the Thompson steelhead run and I received a similar letter, only this one described to me the mesh net size for the gill nets and stated that they are designed for chum salmon, and that steelhead swim right through them (selective gillnet fishing). Well, guess what? Im not exaggerating when I say that typical Thompson steelhead are not too far off the size of a typical chum salmon, something that anyone who has caught both knows. Plus I 've spoken to many commercial fishermen who have told me that steelhead caught in the gillnets are toast. Of course they "release" them, but they aren't in very good shape when they do. To be fair, this was a few years ago, so things might have improved, but if they have I haven't heard about it. Get used to it--the Department is famous for issuing these patronizing responses. If you need a little milk and cookies and a pat on the head before bedtime, send them a letter about steelhead. It's alright, really: we Canadians are darn nice people and more than willing to tell you exactly what you want to hear, even if we both know it's BS.
Oooooh boy, there I go getting hostile about the politics of steelhead again. Quick, grab the trout rods!

I spent 14 years gillnetting the Puget Sound. Steelhead caught in a gillnet are dead. The only time you get a live fish is if it has gilled itself in the last 15 or so minutes of the net being in the water. In the sound we used to hide the steelhead on the boat. It was illegal to catch them (like we had a choice) and it is illegal to throw dead fish back into the sound. Makes sense to me??????????????
October on the Fraser
In a conversation with a Canadian Angler who also is a commercial fisher he told me the main reason that they have the October Chum Salmon opening in the Fraser was so that the fisherman could draw another quarter of Unemployment benefits. He said it was alot more money in UE beneys than anyone ever got from Gillnet prices for Chum Salmon. The web is always tangled some times around the truth other times around the fish!
While we're talking about gillnets, what's a weedline anyway?
It's pretty amazing and sick that they're back to netting the Skeena mouth. Gillnets or not, Dana, you guys have the nirvana of steelheading up there. A few of my friends left today for a week on the Dean and here I sit in a windowless office...
If I understand what you are asking. A weed line is a technique of hanging your net below the cork line so no weeds or junk gathers along the top of the net. I have never used a net hung this way before and I have only seen one.
Does anyone know of a website that has the DFO's gillnet openings for the Skeena I just heard that they are having an unexpected "Big push of Sockeyes" this of course usually means alot of Gillnet days and I was wondering if anyone had a web page I could skunk out the real scoop. I went through an entire listing and did not find one that had what I was looking for.
I guess a guy could call one of the fish buyers in PR and get it that way!
I just returned from a 2 week trip to Terrace.The reason for the "big push" of sockeye is because the river has been netted off for a week.There was a 3 or 4 day commercial opening that started right when we arrived and then another 2-3 days later.We expected to catch litterally hundreds of sockeye and pinks at that time as that is the way it normally is if you know the right bars.We fished Ferry Island alot for 6-8hrs each morning before heading after some chinook in a boat.On our whole trip I caught 6 pinks and 2 sockeye.Not exactly what we travelled 14hrs for.We were always the first on the bar(3:30AM) and had one of if not THE best water.There was almost NO sign of fish aside from a small school of pinks one evening.No one else on the bar(considered to be the best sockeye bar on the river by most) was doing any better.I saw several steelhead landed in the slower water as well.The fish take 7 days to make the trip up to Terrace so that,combined with the commercial netting,made for a 2 week period with VERY few fish in the whole river.The only fish that seemed to be present in good numbers were the big chinook at the Hog Line(mouth of the Kalum River).These were the only fish able to make it through the netting.After a week of slow fishing we made the trip down to Prince Rupert.Along the way we stopped at every bar and piece of slack water we saw and glassed the area with binos in hopes of seeing some sockeye flipping but there were none.On the way from Rupert we stopped at Port Edwards to watch the commercial fleet come in.It was rediculous!I've never seen so many boats in my life.Another frustrating thing is knowing that alot of the boats aren't even local.Because the openings of the Skeena,Fraser,Nass,etc are all at different times,the fleets from the south coast simply migrate up there before or after their opening.Basically there are way more boats netting the area than there would be if the openings to all the rivers were at the same time.After talking to some of the fishermen,and several sportfishermen there,we were told that the entire mouth of the river was pretty much netted off and that NOTHING gets through until the opening is lifted.As we neared the Skeena mouth the next morning we could see the barrage of boats in the distance.I agree with Dana,DFO is constantly putting sportfishers last and will basically feed you a bunch of BS to keep people happy.The fishing while we were there was pretty bad and we ended up fishing for trout in some of the smaller rivers and going up into the Nass to find fish.The chinook fishing on the Nass was spectacular though and worth the drive.I really don't have a problem with commercial fisheries,only the way they are allowed to operate.Being able to close off the entire river and prevent sportfishers(who bring alot of money to the local economy) from sharing the resource is crap.How are they sharing the fish when nothing can get into the river?Considering all the netting is done on the sockeye,and the steelhead move with the sockeye,I don't see how they can ever say that these stocks aren't being seriously impacted.Nets don't discriminate,regardless of their size.Don't believe anything DFO tells you as they will always put the commercial fishery first anyway.By the way,the water was extremely high when we arrived but dropped quickly and is now in great shape.The Copper looks in wonderful shape,but access is very limited(lower river only).We never fished it but saw several anglers fishing the lower stretches.There are some steelies showing now and someone with a good dirt bike could find some fabulous water to themselves on the upper river provided they can get past the gate.If we hadn't made the trek to the Nass our trip would have been a very big dissapointment.If I were to go back,and I plan to,I would make sure that the commercial fishery was done(at least for the sockeye) as it can be pretty frustrating casting into empty water day after day.Chances are the worst is over now.Hopefully steelhead numbers won't be too low.
Wow is that depressing. Glad we do not have to deal with that in Great Lakes.
"Selective gill netting", can't believed they used those words in their response.
Commercial interests obviously weight heavier over public recreational interests in BC politics at this time, at least for this issue.
skeena reply
i too sent an email off to the ministers. however i never recieved a reply. guess i was too hard on them.used a low blow! told them they were now following the many yrs of bad examples set by washington state.i fished recently with BOB Clay [wellknown kispiox-skeena drainage guide]. he was under the impression netting was to be minimal this yr due to low sockeye return. reason it was heavy last yr was a very large return of sockeye.he had been in the bush guiding for 3 weeks at the time. quess maybe the run turned out better.too bad , since all the govt cares about .puts us steelheaders in a position of hoping for poor salmon runs.otherwise our pasion turns up as unfortunate but necessary by-catch in the managers minds. i, like Dana, get a little hot and pasionate on this subject.
skeena ps
interesting reading tonyd comment.the river i fish the last week in july must be affected by the skeena openings. last yr and this yr i saw only a couple of my fish with net marks.i also experienced huge numbers.the 3 yrs prior were yrs with fewer fish and nearly all were net marked. those were the yrs of no netting on the skeena.obviously some of the boats migrate south to north and vice versa.
Interesting observation Beau,and totally correct.Most people are under the assumption that the fish caught at the mouth of the Skeena,Fraser,or wherever,are native to that system.That is not 100% true.I have a freind who works in the fisheries doing all their radio tagging of salmon and steelhead on the Skeena and Nass systems.He has also worked on the southern systems(Fraser,Dean,Island rivers,etc) as well.Thrue there years of tagging and research they have found that the fish that they tag in these areas,like the Skeena for example,are actually a large mixture of fish heading to many different river systems.They have netted fish in the Skeena mouth that ended up travelling up to Alaska and as far south as Oregon.This means that the commercial fishing being done at the Skeena River mouth is not only impacting our fisheries,but it is also taking fish bound for our southern rivers and US waters as well.Excess harvesting on the Skeena could in turn impact the returns on several Washington and Oregon rivers.DFO allows a certain number of fish up the rivers and then opens the fishery up to commercial fishing once their escapement number is reached.The problem is that while the needed Skeena run may be through and strong,they have no way of knowing how many fish from other rivers are being taken.When we left for our trip up to Terrace there was a report on the radio that the sockeye run was one of the best in recent years.We thought this would mean a great fishing trip for us.Instead it meant more commercial harvest than expected and a lousy fishing trip for us.
So what do you site visitors from BC think the folks who live up there from Terrace down to Prince Rupert think of the commercial netting?
I could envision a scenario where DFOs policy is to toss the sporties a few cookies for a couple years and then when things are all peachy they decide it's time to give a little back to the commercial permit holders to make them happy for awhile. What's the fleet like up there anyways? We talking about lots of little crews or is it an operation for the big boys?

Senator John "Republican Family Values" Ensign Loves Marriage
Original post made by Sam J., Birdland, on Jun 17, 2009
"Marriage is an extremely important institution in this country and protecting it is, in my mind, worth the extraordinary step of amending our constitution."
"I believe that marriage should be defined as that between one man and one woman. You want to do what is ideal for children and all of the studies show that the ideal for children is to be in a household with a father and a mother...."
...And the staffer the father is got with on the side.

And of course in the interest of consistency, we can expect Ensign to announce his resignation, given that he called for Bill Clinton to resign in light of his extramarital affair with Monica Lewinsky.

It's not equal to Clinton's situation. Clinton lied under oath and lost his license to practice law in Arkansas as a result of lying.
The senator from Nevada is a human, and all humans fall short of perfection. I do, you do. What's new here that isn't just GOTCHA politics.

Honestly I could care less if a politician cheats on their spouse - that's between the two of them. Engaging in adultery in and of itself does not mean you are a poor example of a human being, politician, etc. I think what bugs most people about this guy is the fact that he spouts off about marriage and family values knowing full well that he himself engaged in behaviour to the contrary of what he "preaches". Many people can forgive adultery when it doesn't personally involve them, but hypocrisy? That's a tougher pill to swallow.

This is not about Gotcha politics. It's about a Senator who had sex and broke his marital vows. He ran off at the mouth about Clinton and tried to get his buddy Larry Craig to step down. It's about hypocrisy.
Now that it's clear that he does not respect the sanctity of marriage between 1 man and 1 woman, who knows what he will try next? Sex with dogs, sheep, raccoons, donkeys, cows, heaven forbid! No my friends, this 2 faced creep needs to step down out of respect for the sanctity of marriage that is understood to be between 1 man & 1 woman! No more, no less.
