Alternate name: Witch-hobble, Hobblebush
Family: Caprifoliaceae, Honeysuckle view all from this family
Description Viburnum lantanoides (also called Hobblebush, Witch-hobble, and Moosewood) is a perennial shrub of the family Adoxaceae growing 2–4 meters (6–12 ft) high with pendulous branches that take root where they touch the ground. These rooted branches form obstacles which easily trip (or hobble) walkers – hence the common name.
The shrub forms large clusters of white to pink flowers in May–June. The flowers on the outer edge of the clusters are much larger (3–5 cm across). The whole cluster is typically 10 cm across. It has large, cardioid leaves which are serrate, 10–20 cm long. The bark is gray-brown and warty and the fruit is a drupe which is red, turning to black when ripened.
The flowers provide nectar for the Celastrina ladon (Spring Azure) butterfly. Mammals and birds feed on its fruit, twigs, and leaves. The large showy flowers along the edge of the cluster are sterile, while the small inner flowers have both male and female parts.
Viburnum lantanoides is found in the eastern U.S. and Canada from Georgia to the Canadian Maritimes. It grows in rich, moist acidic woods, stream banks, and swamps.
Habitat Canyons & valleys, Mountains.
Range Great Lakes, Southeast, New England, Mid-Atlantic.
Comments Arching branches root at tips. Transplants well.

Three honored by American Council of Learned Societies
Posted August 12, 2003; 04:40 p.m.
Two members of the English department faculty and a graduate student in history from Princeton have been awarded fellowships from the American Council of Learned Societies, which funds humanistic research.
Assistant Professor Jeff Dolven and Professor Deborah Nord of Princeton's English department were among 72 scholars selected from more than 1,000 applicants nationwide for ACLS Fellowships, which fund research projects for six months to one year.
Dolven will conduct research on romance and the English educational revolution. Nord will pursue a study of Gypsy representation in British culture.
Christine Philliou, a doctoral candidate in Princeton's history department, also was awarded one of 12 ACLS grants for research and writing of dissertations relevant to Eastern Europe. Philliou's research focuses on the logic and practices of Ottoman power from 1770 to 1860.

Is anyone familiar with service dog training? How does obedience training in these dogs differ from what we train for in our hunting and test dogs? Is it mostly positive reinforcement and who puts out books or videos on this type of training, or references?
THe part I'm most curious about is just OB mainly. Not knowing anything about their training it seems like these dogs would need an extreme measure of socialization to be able to do what they do. I talked with a guy camping this weekend who was training his dog to be a seizure assist dog and just noticing how he went about handling the dog around people and new situations and then doing a little OB with him on the side with some bacon from the morning breakfast, the dog was only 7 mo old so still a pup but very easy going already.

South Korea rejects North's warning over military drills
AFP Friday, January 17, 2014, 12:09 am TWN
SEOUL -- South Korea on Thursday rejected North Korean warnings to call off scheduled joint military exercises with the United States and vowed "severe" retaliation to any provocation from Pyongyang.
North Korea had urged Seoul to cancel the annual large-scale drills, known as Key Resolve and Foal Eagle, warning of an "unimaginable holocaust" if they went ahead as planned starting late February.
The Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK), a North Korean state body in charge of inter-Korean affairs, said Wednesday that staging the exercises would drive the Korean peninsula "into catastrophe."
The joint South Korea-U.S. drills are conducted every year and are routinely condemned by the North as rehearsals for invasion.
Reacting to the latest warning from Pyongyang, South Korea's Defense Ministry insisted the exercises would go ahead as scheduled.
"If North Korea commits military provocations by taking advantage of these routine exercises ... the military will retaliate severely and firmly," spokesman Kim Min-seok told reporters.
Kim also said North Korea would be better off taking "positive steps" towards addressing global concerns over its nuclear weapons program than lecturing the South on its military drills.
Last year's joint exercises were held in the wake of North Korea's third and largest nuclear test, and prompted months of escalated military tensions that saw Pyongyang issue apocalyptic threats of nuclear strikes against the South and the United States.
North-South Korean ties are currently in a state of watchful limbo, with both sides voicing willingness to improve relations while accusing the other of lacking sincerity.
Earlier this month, South Korean President Park Geun-hye called for the resumption of reunions for families separated by the Korean War.
But the North rejected the proposal, citing the planned South Korea-U.S. exercises as a major barrier.
There has been concern over the stability of the regime in Pyongyang after the execution of Jang Song Thaek, a senior leader who was also the uncle and former political mentor of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Seoul and Washington have warned of possible provocation by the nuclear-armed North as it seeks to cement national unity following the purge.
The South's defense spokesman said "nothing out of the ordinary" had been detected in terms of military movement in the North, but added that Seoul was keeping "close tabs" on the situation.
The United States has based troops in the South since the 1950-53 Korean War and the force currently numbers 28,500.
To drive home its warning about the joint drills, the North's CPRK on Thursday faxed a formal note to the South's Unification Committee.
"We again urge your side to get back to your senses and stop the war exercises," the CPRK said, adding that Seoul would "be responsible for all consequences" if it ignored the demand.

Slept a lot.
Woody is frozen since last friday, so i feel responsible to fix a lot of bugs, to get stuff cleaned up before the real release.
There's some bugs in the 'snort' package that annoy me, and i want to fix those.
I'm thinking about implementing a new configuration thing for it, to allow people to use database logging instead of just file logging trough syslog.

Hello, Victoria. I had a really very unusual ring. On the left hand,themselves were worn,the other characters did not. On the middle finger — a heavy steel ring with two kabalone different colors. Not rusty, the newest once from the machine. And even attractive in their brutality,if I was not a girl.. And at the same time on the ring — lace, huge lace floor brush,takes to her hand, the white lace of bone. Bone carving in Pomorie, in this technique performed. Value in accordance with the fingers is clear to me. The fact that at the same time they appear on my hands,I realized that it's the relationships and the romantic sense,but also the Alliance in business. Well,this I understand)) But. Steel and bone is not the gold and silver..but like, and not jewelry. Then everything was clear. Have already met these characters? Would be very grateful for the clarification .
kukriniksy IF there is NO DIRECT SYMBOL, DISASSEMBLE ALL the PARTS. Look. The bone of the skeleton (in the General meaning of the symbol of dreams) is first past, second, the fact that it is already dead. One additional aspect of the skeletons, or bones — is your personal victory in a sense. There is no contradiction between the characteristics. If all put together, it turns out that ex-boyfriend that you liked (read: loved you), plus, for some reason you turned him down (quit, said no, or ignored, in short, was not given the opportunity to realize the Union of partners). Now it «appears» and can decorate with their presence in your life, and Buda in some way to help you. This is the «lace, huge lace floor brush,takes to her hand, the white lace of bone. Bone carving in Pomorie, in this technique done…». The steel ring is properly understood.

Lovinggrandma wrote you back. Sorry I have closed this little side swap as of last night. Anastasias new swap will be started in approximately one week. At that point everyone can sign up who has a clear shipping history and a positive feedback from other team Leaders. Please keep your eyes open for the new posting coming soon.
I have decided being the great decider (Bush and I can join a team there) that the theme will be SUMMER FUN for the new swap going to be started by Anastasia. For those in areas that are going into winter they can chose if they would prefer to receive a summer or a different color palate based on their season. I believe we had only Northern Hemisphere traders last round Nancia but overall everyone is to do a summer themed runner. No worries about that now it will be posted next weekend I think as the new swap.
Tablerunners Tropical theme: I am sending names out this morning watch your email I pulled them and the results are in!
i'm on pins and needles---oh, darn ! it was the pincushion for that other swap. guess i'll make a new one!
Ok I have sent the secret pal names out if you signed up with me and did not receive a name check back with me. Incredibly (I know this almost unbelievable) I make mistakes at times and might have wizzed right by your name when writing emails. If I did wet noodles are in order. I cant wait to see the sneak peaks and finished products. I am off to sew on mine its coming along so nicely I am one happy camper. DONT TELL ANYONE WHO YOU HAVE now ladies its secret! and teasers but not easy ones encouraged.
ok here is my table runner top and well I am less than enthusiastic about it. its so... pale spring like sigh. I wanted bold summer but my tropical is a pink hawaiian print from some mystery origin. i am thinking I need to do a brighter one what say you all? I have turtles and blue water prints.. also some parrots on order.. black background big old green pretty parrots.. this is definetely a variety of tropical to be sure lol..Attachment 406652
ON A SEPERATE NOTE: ATTENTION I NEED TO KNOW WHO HAS NOT RECEIVED THEIR SWAP ITEM FROM ANASTASIAS LAST SWAP DUE IN MARCH 15th. BEFORE SHE CAN POST A NEW SWAP SHE NEEDS THIS INFORMATION ASAP> So instead of writing her an email she is swamped with homework and work work please send me a PM so I can make a list to give her. I need your names and am hoping there is only one or two at most. WRITE ME PLEASE!
That's okay brat, do another one ......send me this one though, I'll back it, quilt it, bind it...everything, don't mess with it anymore. I'll be more than willing to take it right out of your little hands, no problemo' . Okay ladies if you are my partner for the tropical splendor would you rather have the ocean sights, the blooming cacti desert or tropical delights? Think of things you would see if you go on vacation like an ocean cruise, the blue water, the Arizona desert, hot with blooming cactus or Hawaiian forests, bright foliage. Let me know, it may be you.
ok if I was your partner i would want the dessert cacti never been an ocean fan. love hawaiian follage too.. that is tough. if I was your partner that is.
I'm trying to decide between black and white for a color to go with the batiks I posted. I have white fabric, but I think I have used up all the black I had. Time to go "digga drawers" as Dusty used to say, so I can find out! I've been lazy today so far. I got up with a swollen & sore muscle in my left shoulder this morning, so I've been on the heating pad on the couch all day. I think it's time to go get something productive though, since I've had a nap now too! :D
black and white are both such final strong colors. have you considered a bright tone of one of your batik color(s) in a solid.here's a pic to give you an idea of what i mean. just an idea.

I just purchased a new car and was very concerned that a trunk mounted bike rack could scratch the paint. I did a little research and selected the Yakima King Joe. When it arrived I was a little dismayed at assembly required. To my suprise, the unit assembled very simply and mounting it is quick. Its design make it almost impossible to scratch the paint. Overall I am very impressed with this unit and would recommend it to any one interested in a trunk mounted bike rack. AutoAnything's web site was very easy to navigate through, their pricing was quite competitive and their e-mail updates lets you know the exact shipping status of your order. I would definately consider purchasing products from this company.

That was more of a defensive win than a Matt Moore win, but whatever helps you sleep at night.
Didn't Peyton have a horrible Rookie season? Yes let's throw in the towel on Thill, draft another QB and he becomes an Elite QB. Then we will be crying about how we shouldve kept him, blah blah

Whats funny is they will do this and then go into other threads and talk about some of the players as being underrated or under valued. Yet, when trying to build an argument to defend one player those others are all trash. Its a joke really. They arent dolphins fans, they are fanboys.
If you are a dolphins fan, why would you bash the entire team when you know damn well there are some useful players on the roster. Hartline is a good player. Period. He isnt a stud WR, but he is a solid player. Bess is useful in his own way. He certainly is not a regular wide out and he needs to not be used like that, but he has value. Any team would love to have him.
I hope Tannehill plays much better the rest of the way not just because the obvious reasons, but definately so we have to stop reading this trash from both sides of it........ The fanboys who bash the entire team to make excuses for his play and the people who go way too far and suggest he can never be any good.
bro until we get a legit #1 WR then nobody can judge nobody , the right way , because hartline isnt a true #1 WR BUT it seems that all teams are putting there #1 CB on Hartline , that is a true #2 WR , then they also put there #2 CB on our #3 WR and ALL THESE MATCH UPS dosent seem to bold well with us at all , and imo , JUST ISNT GOING TO WORK esp, for us and thats not very good matches for our QB AND not only the WRs that we have STARTIN is nothing more than SLOT WRs , and is VERY VERY easy for our opp to match up with them ,and until we get Tanny some serious deep threat WRs on this team , then its hard to say if we truly have a franchise QB , and its not fair to say either way , and to know for sure if we truly have a franchise QB , IF THE FO WOULD HAVE HAD ANY SINCE AT ALL , THEY WOULD HAVE ATLEAST , went out and brought T.O. or Plax in to help and evaluate The Talent that we think ,and what the FO saw in Tanny as to why they brought him in out of the draft to miami, so instead of knowing THIS YEAR if we truly have a Franchise QB on our Team or not , its going to take NEXT YEARS DRAFT JUST TO SEE IF WE TRULY HAVE A QB that can run our franchise for the next 10 + years . imo from experence of watchin football for 20+ years and during the marino years , when you draft a QB and put him out there to start from day one , you MAKE SURE HE HAS ATLEAST 2 VERY GOOD WRs to help him evauate his talent ,and to help him succeed and to take the next step to elete evaluation, but until then we will never know what we have with Tanny , and imo i just hope he is our Franchise QB because if not then we just pissed away another season of mediocrity.

Swedish metal fan Roger Tullgren says his love of heavy metal is a disability. The government employment service agreed, paying part of his wages.
Forty-two-year-old Roger Tullgren is like many other heavy-metal fans his age. He discovered the genre at the tender age of 5, when his brother brought home a Black Sabbath album. He's been hooked ever since, and continues to listen to the music daily and dress in the heavy-metal uniform: long hair, band t-shirts, silver and leather jewelry, piercings, and so on.
Unlike other fans, Tullgren says his love of heavy metal interferes with his day-to-day functioning and qualifies as a disability. He spent 10 years and visited three different psychologists before finally establishing his case. Recently, he filed paperwork with the government employment service near Hässleholm, Sweden, where he lives. They have agreed to pay a portion of his wages while he works part-time as a dishwasher in a restaurant.
Meanwhile, his boss says it's OK for Tullgren to listen to music while he works — as long as it isn't too loud and doesn't interfere with customers' enjoyment of their meals.
The ageing rocker claims to have attended almost three hundred shows last year, often skipping work in the process.
Eventually his last employer tired of his absences and Tullgren was left jobless and reliant on welfare handouts.
But his sessions with the occupational psychologists led to a solution of sorts: Tullgren signed a piece of paper on which his heavy metal lifestyle was classified as a disability, an assessment that entitles him to a wage supplement from the job centre.
"I signed a form saying: 'Roger feels compelled to show his heavy metal style. This puts him in a difficult situation on the labour market. Therefore he needs extra financial help'. So now I can turn up at a job interview dressed in my normal clothes and just hand the interviewers this piece of paper," he said.
"Some might say that I should grow up and learn to listen to other types of music but I can't. Heavy metal is my lifestyle," he said.
I'm not going to comment on whether I think Tullgren's approach is legitimate. As far as I'm concerned, that's between him, his therapist, the Swedish government, and his boss. But it does speak to a certain aspect of heavy-metal fandom. For many people, especially the most dedicated, this is more than a form of entertainment. It's more, even, than a hobby. It's a lifestyle, a tribe, even a religion.
Given those parameters, it's easy enough to compare participation in heavy metal culture to participation in any other culture: the Amish, Hasidism, Islam. It would be discriminatory for an employer to force someone from one of these groups to change the way he or she dresses or appears while on the job. For example, Hani Khan is suing Abercrombie & Fitch after they asked her — a stockroom worker — to stop wearing her hijab. Meanwhile, the International Weightlifting Federation recently changed its dress code so Muslim women can compete. Likewise, businesses are required to provide allowances for religious practices. Would attending heavy-metal shows qualify?
So when is it a "lifestyle choice," and when is it one's culture and creed? That's a fine line to draw. What isn't clear to me is why Tullgren went after a disability clearance rather than look at it as a fight for workplace equality. What do you think Tullgren should do?

text: Tone Vigeland's works are sensuous objects, in which the rigidity of metal has been transformed into unexpectedly pliant, weighty structures. To wear one of her necklaces is to be made constantly aware of its physicality, its pleasant heaviness, and its intimate adaptation to the wearer's form and movement. Vigeland works with a rigorously disciplined repertoire of materials, usually restricted to oxidised silver in jewellery, or lead and steel in sculpture. Every object has a thematic component: a little square, a sliver of metal, a tiny pod or, as in this necklace, a small irregular bead. Each element is individually made by hand, resulting in endless subtle variations of shape, surface and edge. Many hundreds of these individual elements are then worked together, growing the form through a rhythmic process of accretion and assembly. These are poetic objects, suggestive of the dramatic Nordic landscape or of the glimmer of frost on an icy morning. EKB

If I were him and I could get a quality deal in Miami, I would come back to South Fla. I could do a lot worse.
If I were him and I could get a quality deal in Miami, I would come back to South Fla. I could do a lot worse.
I think he goes on his own. Miami will offer him something but he wants to start and there will be plenty of opportunity in the league this year.
"I will smash your face into a car windshield, and then take your mother Dorothy Mantooth out for a nice seafood dinner and never call her again"
Right now, Matt is the second best QB in the division not named "Brady." He's made his teams better with him under center - and that includes his total time as a starter with Carolina vs the comparable number of games Cam Newton was under center. The "career backup" stereotype is malarky for a guy who's about 28 yrs old and presently capable of being the starter on Buffalo, the jest, KC, AZ and Tennessee among others. I think an argument can be made that he'd be no less effective than Alex Smith if it were he on the same roster and with the same QB-whisperer HC. Ain't no way he's staying and teams that are not too far away like AZ and WRs like Fitz can ride with last season's 4th most accurate long passer for at least a year and maybe 2 until a high potential recently drafted mid round QB develops - and maybe even indefinitely if he does a Rich Gannon Oakland type re-enactment. Unfortunately he's gone but who could blame him?
Why would he stay here. He earned a chance to start last year, and he wasn't given one. He is going to move on pretty quickly.
My hope is Miami, my concern is the Jets but I'll settle for Arizona.
Arizona would have made a playoff push with Matt. They should have desperately traded for him during the season because the consequence is that it got people fired and wasted another year of Fitzgerald's career. It would be nice to have Matt back but if he gets a chance somewhere else I wish him the best. He's severely underrated by some of you. He is at worst an excellent backup, great leader, and a valuable player for any team.
Wherever he goes he will not be given the starting job...he will have to win it,,,that being said..i say he stays here or goes to the steelers and backs up big ben or ryan.
Matt will leave and he will take my best wishes with him. He has been great as a Dolphin; both on and off the field. Wherever he goes I will root for him (unless he becomes a Jet) and I hope he has a good career.

Marrone beat Louisville (Who beat up Florida) and West Virginia. Its not really about that though, its how he took a program that was in bad shape and had the heading in the right direction. Jim Harbaugh was only 29-21 at Stanford. Its a bout the man really, Marron is respected by many.
Is it the right hire? Who knows. No one knew Mike Smith, Mike Tomlin, and Mike McCarthy would be any good. Same with Philbin.

Hope's new nursing program has a new emblem to match. The college's new bachelor of science program in nursing began this semester. The program replaces the jointly operated Hope-Calvin Nursing Program of nearly 20 years.
As part of its new identity, the program has adopted its own emblem, continuing a practice that is traditional within the field, according to Debra Sietsema, who is chair of the department and an assistant professor of nursing.
"Each nursing program has a distinctive emblem which becomes a pin and in many cases is used on stationery and worn on a uniform," Professor Sietsema said. "Each one is meant to draw on what is unique about that program."
The Hope emblem was developed with input from nursing alumni, students and faculty. The design features an anchor and cross, symbolizing Hope's role as an "anchor of hope" for the community (in the words of founder A.C. Van Raalte) and the college's foundational Christian context. The emblem's shield shape symbolizes strength and protection; an encircling rope continues the anchor motif and the idea of being bound together for a purpose. The blue background echoes Hope's school colors of orange and blue. The college motto, Spera in Deo ("Hope in God"), is within the blue.
The emblem will be featured on a pin that will be awarded to Hope nursing graduates beginning with the program's first graduating class in 2003. In the meantime, it is also worn as a patch on the uniforms of Hope nursing students.

Watch the Mainsteam Media Give Credit to Obama for Rescuing Capt. Phillips
Original post made by Paul, Castlewood, on Apr 13, 2009
The mainstream media will paint a glowing picture of "Obama's brilliant strategy and patience" in capturing Phillips.
In reality, his capture was done in spite of Obama's lack of deciciveness and his spineless, limp wristed appeasement position.
This whole situation should not have taken 4 days to resolve, given the military skills of the US.
Obama...you are making our country weaker and weaker by the minute. That is a deliberate strategy of yours that you are succeeding in.

on Apr 13, 2009 at 7:39 am
No, I didn't know that. In that case, what ever happened to dialogue? Diplomacy? Statesmanship? Not all of America's problems can be solved with violence, so why is Obama so quick to pull the trigger on these pirates? Could it be b/c their not white? Hmm...
a resident of Castlewood

The posting immediately above this one was made by some trickster masquerading as me.
Anyway, to respond to your reply, here is an excerpt by Jeff Emanuel from an article today in Pajamas Media...
"...Philips' first leap into the warm, dark water of the Indian Ocean hadn't worked out as well. With the Bainbridge in range and a rescue by his country's Navy possible, Philips threw himself off of his lifeboat prison, enabling Navy shooters onboard the destroyer a clear shot at his captors — and none was taken. The guidance from National Command Authority — the president of the United States, Barack Obama — had been clear: a peaceful solution was the only acceptable outcome to this standoff unless the hostage's life was in clear, extreme danger.
The next day, a small Navy boat approaching the floating raft was fired on by the Somali pirates — and again no fire was returned and no pirates killed. This was again due to the cautious stance assumed by Navy personnel thanks to the combination of a lack of clear guidance from Washington and a mandate from the commander in chief's staff not to act until Obama, a man with no background of dealing with such issues and no track record of decisiveness, decided that any outcome other than a "peaceful solution" would be acceptable.
After taking fire from the Somali kidnappers again Saturday night, the on-scene commander decided he'd had enough. Keeping his authority to act in the case of a clear and present danger to the hostage's life and having heard nothing from Washington since yet another request to mount a rescue operation had been denied the day before, the Navy officer — unnamed in all media reports to date — decided the AK-47 one captor had leveled at Philips' back was a threat to the hostage's life and ordered the NSWC team to take their shots.
Three rounds downrange later, all three brigands became enemy KIA and Philips was safe.
There is upside, downside, and spin-side to the series of events over the last week that culminated in yesterday's dramatic rescue of an American hostage.
Almost immediately following word of the rescue, the Obama administration and its supporters claimed victory against pirates in the Indian Ocean and declared that the dramatic end to the standoff put paid to questions of the inexperienced president's toughness and decisiveness.
Despite the Obama administration's (and its sycophants') attempt to spin yesterday's success as a result of bold, decisive leadership by the inexperienced president, the reality is nothing of the sort.
What should have been a standoff lasting only hours — as long as it took the USS Bainbridge and its team of NSWC operators to steam to the location — became an embarrassing four-day-and-counting standoff between a rag-tag handful of criminals with rifles and a U.S. Navy warship.
However, instead of taking direct, decisive action against the rag-tag group of gunmen, the Obama administration dilly-dallied, dawdled, and eschewed any decisiveness whatsoever, even in the face of enemy fire, in hopes that the situation would somehow resolve itself without violence. Thus, the administration sent a clear message to all who would threaten U.S. interests abroad that the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has no idea how to respond to such situations — and no real willingness to use military force to resolve them.
Any who think they weren't watching every minute of this are guilty — at best — of greatly underestimating our enemies.
Like the crew of the Alabama, which took swift and decisive action to take back their own ship rather than wait for help from Washington that they knew could not be counted on, Captain Philips took matters into his own hands for the second time in three days, leaping into the water to create a diversion and allowing the NSWC team to eliminate his captors. The result, of course, was the best that could possibly be expected: three pirates dead, the captain unharmed, and a fourth Somali man who had surrendered late Saturday night in custody.
One thing that will bear watching will be what the Obama DOJ attempts to do with the captive pirate. My money is on a life of welfare checks, a plot of land (in a red state, naturally), and voting rights in Chicago, New York, and Seattle.
In all seriousness, though, who knows? Obama could decide to get tough on the last surviving participant in the first pirating of an American ship since Thomas Jefferson sent the U.S. Marine Corps to root out and destroy the Barbary pirates.
However, given the administration's track record to date, I won't be holding my breath on that one. "

"a peaceful solution was the only acceptable outcome to this standoff unless the hostage's life was in clear, extreme danger"
That was what happened though supposedly, right? An AK-47 was leveled at the captain's head. That can be interpreted as "clear, extreme danger". There's another piece of this puzzle missing. The Somali pirates apparently rarely kill anyone because most countries just pay the ransom, exacerbating the problem (they make it profitable to be a pirate).

Oh wait, I just realized that I cited a very small and largely unknown media outlet called Pajamas Media. If you've heard of them, they're the ones who hired "Joe the Plumber" as a war correspondent, of all things, as a publicity stunt.
Sorry everybody--I think it's clear now how I came up with my misinformed point-of-view. I'll just stick to their plumbing articles from now on, provided Joe actually gets licensed at some point.

Oh man, I just checked out Pajamas Media. They call Barney Frank a "hater" in a headline, claim leftism is racism, declare Ayn Rand a "prophet" and slapped their own byline on an AP movie review. Looks like the work of some very talented teenagers! Thanks for pointing out this rich "news" source--it's almost as good as the Onion!

Hey Moleman:
You are revealing your ignorance (I am being polite as I thought of many other less desirable adjectives to describe you):
Pajamas Media is a much more credible news organization than our mainstream media. Pajamas Media is the primary source that uncovered Dan Rather's lies about Bush...for which Rather was ultimately caught red-handed and fired.
I would encourage you to view more PJ Media articles if you truly would like a different view of what is happening politically vs. what you only learn (e.g. Michelle Obama's latest fashion statement and what dog the Obama's have selected, how tingly Obama makes the news anchors legs, etc.)

I agree with you that I'm glad the final result worked i.e. the capt. was brought home safely by our heroic Navy Seals.
I wholeheartedly agree with Paul (the first one posting ... not the imposter), who said that the mainstream media will spin this as a win for Obama and his actions so that his poll numbers will rise.

bush took credit for "Mission Accomplished" so I see no reason why President Obama can't accept credit for saving the good captain's life.

Nov. 6, 2012, will mark the day that America changed from being a center-right country, politically, to being a country sharply divided along conservative and liberal lines with a majority of Americans preferring big government liberalism over the traditional conservative model of smaller government.
For this reason, I seriously doubt we will see another Republican president in the foreseeable future – if ever. (A majority of Americans blame George W. Bush for today's economic problems.) Too many Americans receive some form of financial assistance from the federal government, and Republicans preaching entitlement reform are never going to get those people to vote for them. For an example, here is a segment from a Washington Examiner article in June: "When the food stamp program was first expanded in the 1970s, just 1 in 50 Americans participated. Today, 1 in 7 Americans get $134 each month, at a monthly cost of more than $6 billion. With the bipartisan Farm Bill going through Congress, high levels of dependency may become permanent.
Although I am a conservative, I am not decrying every form of government assistance. I do like the idea of a couple of months of unemployment benefits for those who suddenly lose their job, for instance. But our society has changed. Government assistance used to be viewed as a temporary way of helping people in need. There used to be a degree of shame associated with receiving government welfare. Ask anyone over 60 and they will confirm that. But as with having babies out of wedlock, that stigma has long been lost.
The federal government is so large now that we borrow 40 cents from China, Japan, etc. for every dollar we spend because we don't have the money to pay for our commitments. We can argue the legitimacy of any federal government program, the real problem is once you reach the point where there are not enough people paying into the system (and include our other major obligations like the military) then the country eventually goes broke, like what has happened in Greece and soon will happen in other European countries. That is the place America is headed. The tragic thing is no one has a plan to prevent this that is acceptable to a majority of the American people. Why? Because in the short term it would be very painful if we started cutting back on federal government spending. And no politician wants to tell people they can't have something to which they have become accustomed.
President Obama does not really care about this. It bores him. He ignored his own bi-partisan debt commission. And a majority of American voters have just affirmed Obama's position. So, we continue to travel the road to Greece.

Holy History, B'atman, We're Surrounded by Jokers!
"At the time of Jesus and his apostles, deep time was a span of hundreds of years at best. Some of their words would take more than a thousand years to hit home. It is the same today, except that a thousand years passes in less than a generation. Human time is speeding up so that changes that would take a hundred years may take less than ten. And then it speeds up again.
"However, the future is still equally hard to predict. That means that if you, in the age of Emperor Augustus, had not been able to foresee the Middle Ages... then you are not able to foresee the world twenty years from now.
"A fascinating side effect of this is that we, in a certain sense, have regained the lifespan of the mythical ancestors from before the Flood, who would live to see nearly a thousand years pass. Even had this been literally true, they would hardly learn as much, or see as much change, in their 900 years as some of us have seen already."
You see, as soon as you try to define time, you understand that Magnus' comment is more than metaphorical, for if time is the measure of change, then what he says is literally true. I think about this all the time. In my wildest dreams, twenty years ago I could not imagine doing what I am doing at this very moment -- i.e., instantaneously communicating my deepest and most eccentric thoughts to a leading-fringe audience of oddballs and misfits spanning the entire world while sitting here in my childhood bedroom. Yes, I continue to grow up in the house I grew up in, but that's another story. Or storey.
"Energy" is one of those words, like "time," which everyone uses but no one can actually define. Physicists have no idea what energy is, only what it does. The dictionary doesn't help, defining it as "the capacity of being active" or "the capacity for doing work." Transferred to the human plane, this doesn't make a lot of sense. For example, think of all the liberal "activists" who do not actually "work." In fact, if they worked, they wouldn't have the time or energy to be activists, and we'd all be better off. Liberals -- not to mention government employees -- prove that work and activity can be diametrically opposed.
It seems that for humans, energy is value-neutral, in that it will only make the unredeemed man more of what he already is, so to speak. With the influx of energy, a deplorable rag such as the Enquirer or New York Times simply becomes more of one, if that is possible. Keith Olbermann only becomes more unglued. Chris Matthews only hurls more spittle at the back of your TV screen -- which is impossible to clean, by the way. The MSMistry of Truth only burrows further into the Messiah's asstank. In other words, the energy in no way "elevates" its recipient, although the person no doubt feels more alive when the energy is rushing along his keel and causing a tingle in his pasty and corpulent thigh.
I'm sure this is why so many people on the left are so addicted to anger and outrage, and the reason why I counsel my slavish clones not to get too caught up in the tempest of the day; or, at the very least, to do so with one eye on the Aion and another eye winking. What you do with your third eye is your business.
Our work is not political per se. For us, there can be no political solution. Rather, nothing short of a transformation of consciousness can alter the present course of history. History is not just a horizontal stream of time, being that it is composed of humans (and cultures) of differing developmental -- which is to say, vertical -- levels.
I often think about this as it pertains to my four and a-half year-old. I well remember that eternal, magical space that I lived in when I was his age -- the natural mysticism of childhood -- and about how he is in that identical space, despite all the historical differences. They are all obliterated in the mystery of his pure consciousness, which is atemporal being and bliss. When he's getting his way, that is. When he's not, he suddenly transmogrifies into an endlessly whining and entitled liberal beast whose demands are bottomless. Same conscious-energy. Different result.
History, like man himself, is just a middle term linking two ahistorical realities. Dude, that's called a fact. If we think of history as the residue of, or the tracks laid down by, the Adventure of Consciousness, what is most important for us is not its horizontal meandering but its vertical ascent. In other words, profane history is merely the "stage," so to speak, on which the Army of Man makes forays into the vertical and slowly colonizes it -- just as some 40,000 years ago, proto-humans slowly began colonizing the a priori space of humanness and all its various "mansions," both high and low.
To put it another way -- and this is a critical point -- the acquisition of humanness was not merely an evolutionary ascent. Rather, it simultaneously -- and necessarily -- involved opening up a space which was lower than the beasts. This is why man and only man can be higher or lower than an animal, depending upon the choices he makes. This is also why history is so simultaneously surreal and subreal. No mere animal could produce the Holocaust on the one hand or < fill in the blank > on the other.
Imagine an advancing army, only moving upward and inward; as Sri Aurobindo put it, it is like "a tide or mounding flux, the leading fringe of which touches the highest degrees of a cliff or hill while the rest is still below," or "an army advancing in columns which annexes new ground, while the main body is still behind in territory overrun but too large to be effectively occupied, so that there has to be a frequent halt and partial return to the traversed areas for consolidation and advance of the hold on the occupied country and assimilation of its people."
This is why it was so appallingly vomitaceous for Obama to actually abase himself -- and by extension, us -- before that hideous gang of murderers, thugs, and anti-Semites last week. Truly, this is like the Jews apologizing to Hitler, and Netanyahu has our eternal gratitude for speaking truth to the steaming pile of human turds in that World Toilet.
By way of contrast -- to put it mildly -- the "Reagan Revolution" was more importantly an evolution. Unfortunately, the evolution "didn't take," and we're almost back to where we started in Carterville. Why? First, because, as always, the evolution is embattled on all sides by the primitives and barbarians down below, who are animated by hostile cosmic forces they do not understand. But perhaps even more importantly, because we were not worthy of it. No one is more responsible for frittering away the progress of the Reagan Revolution than the Republican party, which simply gave the game away to the barbarian hordes. Our foundation was not secure enough.
I am reminded of another comment from yesterday, this one by xlbrl: "The socialist state cannot live without the conservative making it work for him. What Reagan accomplished was remarkable indeed, yet here we are at the precipice again, and quickly.... If we do not re-discover and remove all things in which all government extends itself and reduces citizens, we will acheive that end point of democracy for which Tocqueville elequently described but for which he could find no name."
There actually is a name: tyranny, except that it's the tyranny that occurs at the end rather than beginning of history, for "extremes meet." It is the tyranny of, in the formulation of James Kalb, "administered freedom, inquisitorial tolerance, and equality by command."
Thus we await another political "savior" to save us from saviors. Like the actual savior, this one will certainly have to possess a "mandate from heaven," which means to say that he or she will have to be a vibhuti, or man or woman with an evolutionary mission. Even the secular savior must first face the challenge of being strangled in their crib. They must face down Death itself as a preparation for what they will face later, which will be like Death fractured into a million images in a hall of TV monitors, cable stations, newspapers, elite universities, and know-nothing bloggers. One must be able to walk calmly through that vale of Death, because it is ultimately a maze of "pure" illusion.
It is quite literally a confrontation with Death, as described, for example, in the Tibetan Book of the Dead -- which is really a Book of Life and how to get out of it alive. There we are told that upon (ego) death we will be confronted with the apparitions of every wrathful demon and every seductive illusion -- and leftism is nothing if not a seductive illusion. "If the soul is able to perceive the identity between its innate luminosity and the great light of reality, then liberation is achieved" (Perry).
This is why the true conservative leader must be religious in the deepest sense, because only a religious person with the protection of grace will be able to walk calmly through this gauntlet. Could you do it? Face down the kind of hatred and viciousness we are seeing, while remaining in your Center?
Whoever it is will be sorely tested, not just by the left, but by the demonic energy they embody. You will note that their energy is chaotic, disorganized, hysterical, shrill, bullying, harassing, disorienting, intoxicated, "over the top." The only way to make one's way through this storm of insanity is with divine assistance. There is no other way. One must surrender to the higher in order to master the lower.
As always, it all comes back to Batman, doesn't it? Remember his training with the League of Shadows, when he had to walk through the gauntlet of the ninjas, all poised to attack at any moment? At the end is a treasure chest overflowing with -- his worst fear. Only then, by calmly facing the fear, is the fear transformed into a gift, and he become more than a man. Thus, his fear really is a kind of priceless treasure. The demons serve an evolutionary purpose -- up to a point.
Bruce Wayne takes the primordial fear and chaos of the underworld -- represented by the bats -- and internalizes them to his benefit. The fear still exists, only now he contains it, rather than vice versa. In so doing, he not only masters these demonic forces, but marshals them to his advantage. I have no idea why conservatives do not do the same thing with the hellbats represented by the liberal media. When is someone going to aggressively, relentlessly, and unapologetically shove it back in their hideous faces? When is someone going to take those projections, which are vomited from hell like so many bats, and use the material to assemble an ontological pneutron bomb, which disperses liberals like sunlight on a vampire but leaves our institutions standing?
It is no coincidence that Batman operates out of the subterranean cave beneath civilization, symbolized by Wayne Manor. Not only is he comfortable down in hell, but the very foundations of the mansion are plunged deep into the cavern below. This is a key point: your own evolution will continue to slide back down if you do not have your spiritual foundation planted deep beneath your "southeast corner." I don't care how beautiful your mansion, if it doesn't have a kind of continuity with the darkness below, it won't survive the coming birthquake. Not for nothing does Holy Saturday precede Easter Sunday.
Remember the image of the advancing army: you had better have the space below occupied by your troops before you try to advance above. Furthermore, you had better maintain a continuous line of communication. The last thing you want to happen is for your luxpeditionary force to get stranded above, cut off from the supply line. Your growth must be organic, which is to say, internally related on all levels, with no gaps. Most of all it must be embodied and lived.
Hmm, just received a delightfully over-the-top email from a curious reader. I think you know by now that your Dear Leader is not only unsusceptible to flattery, but even offended by it, so you will forgive its extravagant praise of the almighty B'ob. It's just the reader's own energy externalized, anyway. Or, he is just sharing a joke at his expense. Either way, the real superhero is in the heart:
"What in the holy name of Creation are you doing, my good sir? I am sincerely perplexed at the nature of your blog, the complexity of your mind, and the tenacity of your wit, all of which far exceed my abilities of comprehension -- most of the time, anyway.
"Your book and blog have served me a great deal in letting go of my identification with the insanity of unadulterated liberalism, and, more importantly, helped me recognize the impersonal nature of all thought forms as they arise in the vast expanse of my awareness. Nonetheless, I can't seem to grasp from a larger perspective the purpose you serve by playing the role of 'Gagdad Bob,' which I can only assume leaves you with more hate mail than the Vatican after that glorious run of molestation charges earlier this decade.
"Please, let me in on the secret! What is it in my psyche that draws me back to a blog that is such a severe combination of consciousness-tones that it can only remind one of Rachmaninoff orchestrating a piece while under the influence of LSD after spending three months locked in a cell with J. Edgar Hoover, Molly Ringwald, Pat Buchanan, and Mother Theresa? The blog is funny, frightening, poetic, genius, and above all, ballsy. What drives it?"
Easy. I'm the B'atman. And so are you, or you wouldn't be here.

According to Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili, the beginning of the end of his relations with Russian leader Vladimir Putin came at their first face-to-face meeting in February 2004.
Putin, following a long tradition in Moscow's relations with the countries of its "near abroad," reportedly ordered Saakashvili to ensure the future of Valeri Khaburzania, security minister under the previous Georgian president, Eduard Shevardnadze. Instead, Saakashvili demoted Khaburzania and soon fired him outright.
Putin, Saakashvili says, was livid -- and Russian-Georgian relations quickly deteriorated. Since the five-day August 2008 war, the Russian government has said it will not have any dealings with Georgia while Saakashvili remains in power.
In its recent victorious election campaign, billionaire businessman Bidzina Ivanishvili's Georgian Dream pledged to reduce the level of confrontation with Moscow without sacrificing Georgia's overall path toward European integration, close relations with the United States, and eventual NATO membership.

Humanitarian Issues: Improving the lives of national staff on the frontlines
On 31 October 2011, a car bomb in Kandahar, Afghanistan, killed three national UNHCR staff. It was a harrowing reminder that national humanitarian workers – who come from the countries where they deliver assistance, and who constitute more than 90 per cent of aid workers in the field – bear the brunt of attacks in high-risk environments.
Since 2008, the total number of attacks against humanitarian workers has decreased by 26 per cent, from a peak of over 100 major attacks a year. This is because many humanitarian organizations have wound down their operations in the most volatile security environments, such as Somalia and Darfur, Sudan, since 2008.
But this trend has left national humanitarian workers – national staff of international agencies and national partner organizations – to deliver the majority of assistance to people in need.
And national aid workers, who act as field managers, security guards and drivers, are exposed to the greatest security risks. In 2010, more than 200 national humanitarian workers were victim to violent assaults, resulting in killing, kidnapping and serious injuries – 15 times the number of their international counterparts.
The threat to national staff is highlighted in a new OCHA-commissioned study, released in October and based on almost 1,200 responses, which analyses the security-risk perceptions of national humanitarian workers.
The study also found that gender had little to no direct affect on national workers' security, although, in some contexts, respondents said female staff added to aid-worker insecurity due to cultural norms - particularly in places where people disapprove of women working alongside unrelated men.
International organizations have both a legal and moral responsibility to enhance support to national staff and local partners, and some humanitarian organizations have found innovative ways to support their national colleagues.
For example, some agencies grant their national personnel periodic home leave, or bonuses that mirror internationals' hardship allowances.
The report also found that humanitarian organizations need to more consistently consult national staff and local partner organizations when undertaking security-risk assessments and analyses. It noted that national aid workers tend to have a more in-depth understanding of local dynamics.
"Very often we make decisions resulting in international staff being evacuated and national staff staying behind, and we do not spend enough time thinking about the context in which they are bound to operate," said Valerie Amos, Emergency Relief Coordinator, at the NY launch of the 'To Stay and Deliver' study in April 2011. "Inequities between international and national staff need to be better balanced."

Tilghman participates in women's leadership summit
Posted May 7, 2002; 02:15 p.m.
Princeton President Shirley M. Tilghman was among 150 women leaders who gathered in Washington, D.C., last Friday for the inaugural National Women's Leadership Summit.
An initiative of The White House Project , the summit brought together women from business, sports, philanthropy, academia, law, labor, communications and the public sector to chart a new course for expanding women's leadership. Other participants included playwright Eve Ensler, Ford Foundation president Susan Berresford, scientist and former astronaut Mae Jemison and Dina Dublon, chief financial officer of J.P. Morgan Chase.
The conference leaders, Marie Wilson, president of The White House Project, and Heidi Miller, executive vice president of Bank One, led the top-level participants in examining issues facing women's leadership today, including "Where We Stand," "How to Get to the Tipping Point" of women's leadership, "Changing the Culture" and "Choosing to Lead."
"Women's leadership is at a critical juncture -- we could either fall behind our current pace of progress or be poised for a quantum leap forward," Wilson said. "The goal is to broaden and deepen women's leadership in every sector and to set a new strategic agenda for that endeavor."
The White House Project is a national, nonpartisan organization dedicated to advancing women's leadership in all spheres, including the U.S. presidency.

An electronic device, when it's connected to a battery, only gets the amp required or the battery gives more and the device breaks?
A voltage stabilizer is good or i need one with current limit?
Estaba hablando de que si da más amperaje del que el aparato electrónico soporta.
I = V / R, aplicando al circuito si la intensidad interna de la batería es baja, podrá dar más amperios.
If the current was controlled by the supply then each and every one of us would have a serious problem in our homes. The power company supplies MEGAWATTS and we use KILOWATTS, if the device using the power was not the limiting factor on our usage our houses would have all burned down yers ago.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
This year's Pensacola Bands on the Beach fun got an outstanding kickoff this past Saturday night, although in all modesty, I must say it was our best effort yet.
While the wind off the Gulf still packed a chilly punch, it didn't cool down my brother-in-law's Superband, the summer entertainment harbinger.
We had a great deal of fun, especially with some new additions to the program for the backup "girls," of which I am one. We really rocked 'em out on Ronettes' famed "Be My Baby" and are quietly planning new offerings for next year, if we live that long.
Frankly, I haven't seen a video of the musical celebration, but I hope it doesn't hit me like those oldies programs on Mississippi ETV, where the musical oldsters are doing their best to move and groove while the audience looks like it's got one foot on the proverbial banana peel. I used to watch those things and think, "Good grief, that audience looks on its last breath." Then, I thought about the aging Superband members and was just glad our Florida audiences are a big mix of the young and not-so-young.
My bro-in-law, who leads the Superband, was quite pleased with our performance as we dined late at The Waffle House and happily remarked how great it was to bring music to folks who weren't even born when Ben E. King sang "Stand by Me" or the Drifters crooned "Under the Boardwalk."
Tommy, I said to him, their parents weren't even alive when those tunes hit our transister radios. Regardless, it's much fun to bring the Sixties music to a big crowd and watch their dancing or singing with us in front of the big beachfront stage.
This year's kickoff came a few weeks earlier than usual and put me into the Easter mode.
My sister was kind enough to affirm my request for Easter hats for the backup "girls," although in the end I was the only one stubborn enough to wear one. Oh, they were cute, that wasn't the problem. In fact, they were what's called "fascinators," which are those snappy front-of-head stand-up fancies you may recall seeing on the pates of Victoria Beckham or other female VIPs at Kate and Prince William's wedding back when.
I was annoyed by everyone else's lack of fashion boldness, but hey, I don't live there and nobody had the slightest idea who I was. These women have to live with their audience, and I suppose they feared public ridicule later. Regardless, I forgive their timidity.
Now that I'm back home from that mega-journey, my thoughts have turned to getting my hands dirty in the garden this weekend.
My sugar-pea plants are poking their sweet heads up nicely, but it's really been too cold for much else. I'm taking a chance, but I'm going to dive in head first.
Mother Nature really scored a big hit, sadly, on my wisteria vines during the latest cold snap.
I'd greatly admired them shortly before, which probably brought down the lady's wrath, and those two 25-degree mornings put the ki-bosh on my wisteria buds. Guess the massive, sweet-smelling display on my little hilltop will have to wait for next year.
I'm also due to assist my son and his wife with their new raised beds in their first home, smacked with some force by the Jackson hail storm of a few weeks ago.
We'll start out small and figure out what works best where, though that always takes a few years to be sure.Meantime, we'll all dream about luscious summer tomatoes and cantaloupes.

Emerson Knives
Here is the Super Sized knife that everyone wanted. And it is a Super knife not just in size, but in ferocity, intimidation and performance. I'm almost scared to carry the thing around. It's like carrying a folding scimitar around in your pocket. It is the largest folder that we've ever made and yet it stills feels great in the hand, and handles like a sports car in action. I don't know if you all know the history of the CQC-8 but it has been a favorite among certain "circles" in Britain's Famed SAS regiment for years and has been in action since the Bosnian Conflict. It is a true battle hardened veteran that has seen action in every theatre since the 1980's. That's going on 30 years now. This "Super" version is a cutting, slashing monster that will do whatever you ask of a knife. These knives are also already in the production line and are scheduled for finish in April. The first run is small and if you want one get your order now because just like the A-100, the dealers are lining up and placing their orders. We will save a few but we're going to move them fast. Don't delay.
The knife features our Patented "wave shaped opening feature" or Remote Pocket Opener. In an emergency or injury situation the knife can be opened with one hand as it is drawn from the pocket.

Ceremony kicks off International Festival
Posted March 24, 2010; 11:19 a.m.
The International Festival, one of the largest student-organized events at Princeton, will kick off with an opening ceremony at 8 p.m. Saturday, March 27, at Richardson Auditorium, Alexander Hall. The ceremony is free and open to the public.
Since its inception 36 years ago, the International Festival has been a vibrant celebration of the diverse ethnicities and culture represented on the Princeton campus. The festival will run through late April, featuring international-themed performances, films, conferences and parties.
The focal point of the opening ceremony will be the international cultural performances including tap dancing, a cappella music, ballroom dancing, martial arts and other performance styles from around the globe. Featured student performance groups will include Triple 8, Naacho, the Georgian Choir, the Wildcats, Capoeira and the Tapcats. The ceremony also will include a procession of more than 45 students bearing the flags of their native countries. Princeton President Shirley M. Tilghman will deliver brief opening remarks.
The opening ceremony begins a month of events intended to entertain and to educate the community on internationalism, multiculturalism, and global, cultural and ethnic tolerance. Some highlights of the month include a concert by Ballet Folklorico, the University's traditional Mexican dance group; Asian Night Market organized by the Asian Heritage Council; a talent and fashion show followed by Global Groove Night; and film seminars and discussions featuring the films "Good Morning, Night," "Fateless" and "Devils on the Doorstep."
The festival will close Saturday, April 24, with the annual "Global Village," a showcase of artifacts and other items from many nations, which will take place at the annual town-gown event Communiversity, along with a gala titled "Passport to Indonesia on a Tour of the World" with PERMIAS (the Indonesian Students Association at Princeton) at the Fields Center for Equality and Cultural Understanding at 58 Prospect Ave.
The International Festival is organized by a board of international students under the auspices of the Consortium of International Student Organizations and the Davis International Center. For more information, visit the festival website.
