~In the end, the English and the American Colonists won the war. This caused France to lose most, (if not all), of their land. This let Spain and England to gain most of the land in America.
~During the war, King George III was plotting on how to get out of the major war debt he was gaining for himself. He came up with a solution: tax the American colonists on everything. He had parliament pass the Sugar Act of 1764, the Townshend Act of 1767, and the Stamp Act of 1765. Eventually, all these taxes were repealed, but these ridiculous tariffs made the colonists angry. The American colonists decided to react. On December 16, 1773 fifty men known as "The Sons of Liberty" dressed up as mohawk indians waited for the English tea ships to dock in American harbors. While the British weren't looking, they dumped 90,000 pounds of tea into the Atlantic ocean.
~French and Indian War~
Cause of French
Indian War

Stamp Act
~The Stamp Act of 1765 is when Parliament ordered that a tax be made on all paper. This included: wills, newspapers, letters, decrees, etc... It was reapled in 1766.
Townshend Act
~The Townshend Act of 1667 is when Parliament ordered that a tax be put on glass, paint, paper, and tea. This caused a great disturbance in the colonies. On March 5, 1770, the act was repealed.
George Washington
Although George Washington became the first President of the United States in 1789-1797, he didn't have a significant role in the French and Indian War,he did however have a significant role in the American Revolution.
Tea Act
The Tea Act is a tax put on tea. This caused an angry reaction from the colonists, and led to the "Boston Tea Party" , which 50 colonists dressed up like Mohawk Indians dumped 90,000 pounds of tea into the Boston harbor

County Commissioner Susan Brown has her own idea to solve the budget crisis facing Curry County: She wants a permanent solution - taxes for a law enforcement district - to address the issue of crime.
"I am not in favor of bringing the five-year levy to the ballot," she said of a proposal Commissioners David Itzen and David Brock Smith seem to be leaning toward that would increase property taxes for five years to give them more time to develop a more stable fix.
Brown is in favor of creating a permanent levy that would fund a law enforcement district for the citizens in unincorporated Curry County. The cities, which already provide their own police services, wouldn't pay for patrol deputies, but would chip in their share for other services offered under the county's law enforcement: the jail and parts of the district attorney's office, courts, juvenile and parole and probation.
"It (the five-year proposal) is not a long-term solution for the sheriff's office," she said.
"It doesn't get him out of the general fund and into his own permanent funding stream. If that were approved, we'll be back in three years wringing our hands and saying, 'What are we going to do? What are we going to do?'"
She is adamant, too. Brown said if Smith and Itzen move to approve the five-year levy, she will vote against it. She will not assist in educating the public about the levy, be it by knocking on doors or attending public "town halls."
"How can I support it if I don't believe it's a true fix for the county?" she said. "We've spent a lot of time not doing long-term planning. We need to secure our future -not secure our next five years, or next five days."
Bishop said it would take about two years to create a law enforcement, and Smith said his proposed temporary levy would merely bridge the financial gap until it could be formulated.
Brown went to the assessor's office Thursday afternoon and determined that unincorporated Curry County has in its boundaries $1.5 billion in assessed valuation. Sheriff John Bishop wants $3.6 million to run all aspects of law enforcement.
So she crunched the numbers. If voters were to approve a separate, $2.5 million levy dedicated to law enforcement, that would mean taxpayers would see a property tax increase of $1.60 per $1,000 assessed valuation. If a $3 million levy were approved, the tax would increase to $1.90 per $1,000. And a $3.5 million levy would result in a $2.32 per $1,000 increase.
"This way, citizens in the unincorporated areas know they're going to have in place a permanent situation instead of us coming back every few years," Brown said.
And that might just end up creating a rift in the unified front Smith and Itzen want to present in getting a tax measure approved by voters in May. Taxpayers have never approved a property tax increase, having always relied on OandC funds to provide the bulk of general fund revenue.
When the federal government threatened to cut off funds -and then came in at the last minute to rescue OandC land counties -residents became complacent, no longer believing the sky was going to fall. Now, the feds say they mean it.
"I've been here 11 years and heard the same story for 11 years," Brown said. "Scare tactics don't work anymore."
Bishop, she said, needs to play a major part in creating a law enforcement district, first, by marketing it. He would likely have until the November election, as creating a special district takes time, to educate the public.
"If it's his department and he cares about saving it and serving the people in Curry County, that should be first, first, first," she said. "He needs to do this to guarantee their safety."
She is forming a new citizens committee, as well, called the Financial Independent Committee (FIC; pronounced "fix") -to develop long-term solutions. Such a group could look at volunteer work force, inmate labor for the parks department and fair, reexamining the 19 suggestions from the original Citizens Committee and assessing each department: services, job-sharing opportunities and salaries, among them.
And despite what some call Draconian cuts already made by the county, Brown believes there is more fat on the bone.
"I see areas where we can tighten up," she said. "We haven't done everything we can do. We need to really look at that."
That, she said, would give the county enough time to formulate plans to bring to voters a measure asking to create a special district.
And if the voters say 'no' in May?
"If it doesn't pass, we can go to the November election with a special district," she said. "And if they vote that down, the voters have clearly spoken. They're not interested in those services, and we'll have to let it go."

Other literary forms
(Survey of Novels and Novellas)
In addition to his novels, for which he is best known, Roddy Doyle wrote several highly successful plays, including Brownbread (pr. 1987), War (pr., pb. 1989), and The Woman Who Walked into Doors (pr. 2003), which is based on his 1996 novel. Family (1994), a four-part television play, was highly controversial for its treatment of domestic abuse. While the subject of the abusive husband and father was by no means new in Irish literature, the play's widespread distribution through television provoked public debate over the representation of the working-class Irish family.
Doyle also wrote many short stories, including the collection The Deportees, and Other Stories (2008), and he wrote several books for children and teenage readers, including Not Just for Christmas (1999), The Giggler Treatment (2000), Rover Saves Christmas (2001), The Meanwhile Adventures (2004), and Wilderness (2007). He also contributed to the collaborative novels Finbar's Hotel (1999, with others) and Yeats Is Dead! (2001, with others). In 2002, he published an oral history-memoir about his parents, Rory and Ita.

Last week, three of the four American Idol judges left Candice Glover out of their top 3. They may have awakened the beast. Last night Candice Glover brought the house down, brought the judges to their feet and to their knees and inspired Mariah to share her glitter. After Candice Glover's two song tour de force last night, anyone who does not include her in their top 3, is just wrong.
American Idol Season 12 took us on quite a journey last night. First they took us through one of the most boring book of songs in popular music- the Burt Bacharach/Hal David song book. Listening to these songs back to back to back was trying. The second half of the show, where the Idols sang songs they wished they had written was much better. Now that we are on to two songs each week, singing talent and popularity took a back seat to maturity and broader musical talent, in a big way.
In addition to the show that Candice Glover put on, we also saw the return of the Angie Miller we all love. The judges all screamed that the difference was Angie back at her piano, but that is secondary. Angie Miller returned to worshiping our God with Kari Jobe's "Love Came Down" and delivered a transcendent performance that brought many people in the audience and on Twittersphere to tears.
Kree Harrison delivered two very strong performances, but the other big news of the night was the meltdown of Lazaro Arbos and the judges painfully difficult critique. His first song "Close To You" was never on pitch and he did not even make a key change with the band. The judges did everything they could to encourage him, but there was nothing good they could say. His second performance was not much better.
The only thing that may save him was the surprisingly weak performances by Janelle Arthur. I really expected Janelle to do more magic with this broad array of songs and she played it pretty straight forward. That decision exposed her voice and left her in trouble.
American Idol Season 12 Top 6 Performance Rankings
1) Candice Glover – "Love Song" by The Cure/Adele
The original Cure version is one of my favorite rock songs. Candice Glover performed a slow, smokey, jazzy interpretation I never that possible. This was not The Cure, this was not Adelle, this wass a revelation. This girl is the best I have seen on American Idol in years. Keith Urban bowed at her feet. Mariah went on stage and threw glitter. Amazing is not a strong enough word for what we saw last night. Randy said that may have been the greatest performance he has ever seen on American Idol.
2)Angie Miller – "Love Came Down" by Kari Jobe
Give Angie Miller a song she believes and she soars. She just swallowed up the entire theater. Angie Miller overwhelmed the big Idol stage with a big production of angels and smoke. She did not need it. She took Los Angeles to church and it was a fabulous trip. That was Angie Miller at her very, very best. Angie Miller singing about Christ is magical. Yes, I cried. Standing, whooping ovation from the judges. Randy said "amazing, unbelievable."
3)Candice Glover – "Don't Make Me Over" by Burt Bacharach/Dionne Warwick
Candice Glover is amazing! She took another old boring Bacharach song and turned it into a 21st century, flaming, soul barnburning show stopping performance. I want this song now. I want her album now. The runs, the growls, the key changes, the power notes, the falsettos- she brought it all together. This is one of the best vocals of American Idol Season 12. Nikki said it all "oh goodness gracious".
4) Kree Harrison – "What the World Needs Now" originally sung by Jackie De Shannon by Burt Bacharach and Hal David
Brilliant. Kree rearranged this sixties anthem into a country ballad. It gave her voice room to soar and it pulled us hard into the lyrics. A really fabulous performance from Kree Harrison. I would buy this record. Keith pointed out that we feel the humanity and compassion of Kree Harrison in her performances. He called it her best performance of the season.
5) Kree Harrison – "Help Me Make it Through The Night" by Kris Kristofferson
Kree Harrison calls this song simply beautiful. I agree. That performance was simply beautiful. We saw Kree Harrison in her full-on country persona. That interpretation took me back to my childhood when my mom would blast this song out into the neighborhood. Another special performance by a great singer. Randy calls her a natural singer. Keith called it a "buckle polisher" and just predicted that Kree Harrison would be admitted into the Grand Ole' Opry. No bigger compliment for Kree Harrison is possible.
6)Amber Holcomb – "Love On Top" by Beyonce
I liked this performance much better than her first performance. The start and finish were a little pitchy for me but the middle was strong. The entire vocal was fun and bouncy. What, Mariah half criticized her vocal? Every other judge continued to fawn all over Amber Holcomb.
7) Janelle Arthur – "The Dance" by Garth Brooks
This was not a great song for this moment. Janelle Arthur really needed more at this moment. We saw Janelle's voice in all its glory, its sweet tone and perfect pitch. Her performance was engaging and deep. However, there was no breakthrough moments here. Keith was right that this might have been stronger if she had just played her guitar. Janelle Arthur needed a breathtaking performance and she delivered a solid, sweet performance.
8)Angie Miller – "Anyone Who Had A Heart" by Burt Bacharach/Dionne Warwick
This was a great song choice for Angie's voice. It really highlighted her low register. The song is a typical bland Bacharach adult contemporary but Angie Miller sang this beautifully. She held back while showing great range. Keith asked for more passion. Missing passion from Angie? really. Nikki and Keith were right that it seemed a little old fashioned.
9)Amber Holcomb – "I Say A Little Prayer" by Burt Bacharach/Dionne Warwick
Amber Holcomb's voice sounded great but she struggled with the pace of the song. She seemed to struggle to catch-up at times and that caused some pitch problems. I think this was Amber's worst performances of the season. The judges once again fawned all over her. They thought Amber Holcomb was amazing.
10)Janelle Arthur- "I'll Never Fall In Love Again" by Burt Bacharach
I was hoping for more from Janelle Arthur with this performance. I had hoped for some special Janelle interpretation. This was more of a middle of the road performance that did not show Janelle's voice in the best light and brought nothing new to the song. Keith said, 'that was good". That is the best I can say as well.
11) Lazaro Arbos – "Angels" by Robbie Williams
This performance was okay for a few moments during the chorus when Lazaro could sing big. That is about all I can say. The rest of the song was off key and he was over run by the music. Nikki had nothing to say. The other judges hemmed and hawed around criticizing Lazaro Arbo without eviscerating him.
12)Lazaro Arbos - "Close To You" – originally sung by The Carpenters (Bacharach/David)
It is really hard to listen to this song without hearing Karen Carpenter. Lazaro did not compare favorably. There were pitch problems all over the place. This was as bad a performance I have heard from any performer all season long. Randy said it was horrible, probably his worst performance of the season. Mariah nearly had a nervous breakdown trying to criticize his performance. This was another example of Lazaro Arbos coming to the show under prepared.
I do not understand American Idol Season 12 voting this year. I am 3 out of 4 in my predictions but never have I predicted Lazaro Arbos in the Top 3. I think last night's performances lands him the bottom 2. However, I think Janelle Arthur was weak enough to save Lazaro for one more week. I don't think the judges will save Janelle Arthur so I think she goes home tonight. If anyone else is voted off, I think the American Idol Season 12 judges save them.

Series: Secret Warrior Series Book #1
Author: Beth Trissel
Genre: Romance, Paranormal, Young Adult
Blurb: Seventeen-year-old Morgan Daniel has been in the witness protection program most of her life. But The Panteras have caught up with her and her younger brother. Her car is totaled, she's hurt, and the street gang is closing in when wolves with glowing eyes appear out of nowhere and chase away the killers.
takes them to safety at his fortress-like home.
And that's just the first sign that Morgan and her brother have entered a hidden world filled with secrets…
Thoughts: This is a YA book that I thought I would give a try. Usually for me it is kind of touch and go on whether I like a particular YA novel. This one is one of those odd ones that have Young Adult teenager-ish characters that function in a adult-like manner, yet manage to have a maturity level that just is not caught up with their functioning level or storyline.
We have a seventeen year old dealing with mob-like characters and in witness protection….and I just couldn't buy it. The story is told well, and I liked the author's style of writing. I just couldn't fathom a seventeen year old dealing with these very adult like problems and situations yet still being that immature, while also acting in a parental role. Likeable YA…but not one for me that crosses over into adult reading as well.
Rate: B-

Parents, always going like,
"Logan! You need to go to church!"
Me: "Why, so I can listen to boring sermons that don't even follow the Bible, and have bickering disagreements with a bunch of smelly fat hypocrites who are wimpy 'nice guys' like how do you every week?"
"Logan! You need to go on to law school, you need a job that can support a family!"
Me: "Why, so I can be incredibly stressed out over money, work 50 hours a week if I get a job, have tons of debt?"
"Logan! How come you never date? We want grand kids!"
Me: "Date, so you guys can give me hell again like you did two years ago when I was interested in it? So maybe I can get married, and be miserable like you two?"
Just... why do parents try to get their own kids to have miserable, sad lives like they did? It's like they don't want them to be happy. They might have lived the standard "mold" of their generation, but if it leads to being an overweight unhappy person always arguing with your spouse, worried about money, tramping to church on Sundays for some bs to argue about, then what good was it?
Most Helpful Girl
haha I am the opposite my family: " we got macdonalds! And movies from blockbuster!"
me: I go to my room, eat a salad, and listen to spiritual/worship music. My parents are not religious at all, I wish we went to church!
Also my parents kicked my ass last time I had a boyfriend because I went out all the time... they don't let me date, well they do but make my life miserable when I do so I don't. They never mention grand kids because they think I'm an idiot and couldn't care for a kid.10|10|0
Ditto on the "make my life miserable if I try to date."

Pork Adobo
Vickie Parks
This is a typical Pork Adobo (Adobong Baboy in tagalog) recipe, which is the signature dish of the Filipinos. Every household has their own favorite recipe for Pork Adobo that's served for lunch, dinner and even breakfast. It's also served at special occasions like fiestas, birthdays, Christmas, christenings, weddings, reunions and important gatherings. There are many different variations, but most include pork (belly or shoulder) in a mixture of garlic, vinegar and soy sauce. From there, recipes can vary a bit from region to region, both in ingredients used as well as how the pork is cooked.
★★★★★ 1 vote5
5 to 6 (prep time includes minimal marinating time)
2 Hr 25 Min
2 Hr
Stove Top
- 2/3 c
- low-sodium soy sauce
- 5 clove
- garlic, peeled and crushed
- 2 Tbsp
- brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp
- black peppercorns
- 3 lb
- boneless pork belly or pork shoulder, cut into 2-inch pieces (about 20 pieces)
- 1/4 c
- canola oil
- 1 medium
- yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 c
- water
- 2
- bay leaves
- 1/4 c
- white vinegar
- cooked jasmine rice, for serving
How to Make Pork Adobo
- 1Combine the soy sauce, garlic, sugar and peppercorns in a resealable gallon-size plastic bag. Add the pork, seal the bag closed, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight if possible (for flavors to meld). Mix every couple hours to marinate thoroughly.
- 2Drain the pork in a colander over a bowl; reserve the marinade and garlic.
- 3Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Brown the pork in batches, making sure not to crowd the meat, and turn pork often until all sides are brown, 6 to 8 minutes per batch (it's OK if the peppercorns adhere to the pork). Watch the pork closely: The sugar in the marinade will cause the pork to darken quickly if the pot is too hot. Lower the heat if necessary, to avoid burning. Remove the pork with a slotted spoon; set aside.
- 4Discard all but 2 tablespoons of the oil from the Dutch oven. Add the garlic from the marinade and the onions, and cook, stirring, until the onions are translucent, 10 to 12 minutes.
- 5Return pork to Dutch oven. Add the strained marinade, water, and bay leaves, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium, cover and cook at a medium boil, stirring periodically, until the pork is tender but not falling apart, about 1 hour and 25 minutes. The cooking liquid will be reduced by at least 2/3.
- 6Add the vinegar, but do not stir. Cook, uncovered, until the sauce is reduced to the consistency of a loose marinara, about 20 minutes more. Remove from the heat, and skim and discard fat (pork belly will render a good amount). Allow the pork and sauce to sit 15 minutes before serving; the sauce will continue to thicken. Serve over jasmine rice.

Kathryn Thomas: 'I wasn't body confident - there were no full length bikini shots'
Looking at Kathryn Thomas on TV, immaculately clad in one of her tight-fitting dresses, it's hard to believe she once fought her own battle with weight.
The Operation Transformation host (37) says she has huge empathy with the show's team leaders and their gruelling weight loss journeys as she had her own issues as a teenager.
It was something she touched on during a recent visit to her old alma mater of St Leo's in Carlow, where she met the pupils as part of the show's It's Your Move fitness campaign.
"I was 13 or 14 and I stopped playing sport in secondary school, and it was for the same reason those girls in my old school were saying - how they don't like doing PE because they don't like getting smelly and sweaty in front of their friends," she says.
"And I remember I felt exactly the same back then, so riddled with angst. You don't have a lot of confidence at that age - there's a huge level of insecurity when you're a teenager.
"For me, I wasn't hugely overweight, but I felt I was carrying excess weight and I was not as confident as I could have been about my body.
"When I was 16, I started running and playing football and the weight fell off and with that came a good big dose of self-confidence."
Thomas nonetheless insists she carried a lack of self- confidence through to her early days on TV, when she presented travel show No Frontiers and regularly donned a bikini for a beach shoot.
"Even in the No Frontiers days, you would never see a full-length shot of me on the beach. I always had a sarong or some kind of cover-up," she says.

It's a different story now for Thomas, who's renowned for her love of fitness and is a big advocate of healthy living - but in moderation.
She's definitely no Dr Eva Orsmond when it comes to the evils of sugar, and she stops far short of coming across like a zealot when it comes to lifestyle choices.
She didn't even bother doing Dry January, the act of giving up alcohol for the month.
"My Achilles heel is dairy," says Thomas. "I'm a cheese freak. I love it with brown bread and crackers and a big glass of red wine. I tried to cut back on the cheese and just have it at the weekends.
"I'm also a bit of a chocoholic, but I try to make it dark chocolate. That's my treat, as opposed to eating a whole pack of Galaxy or Maltesers.
"I didn't do Dry January. I don't know if I agree with all that because I'm a big believer in everything in moderation and I don't know if I need to cut anything out completely."
She also takes work home with her, so to speak, given that she lives with restaurateur and chef Padraig McLoughlin in her south inner city home.
They'll have been dating three years this summer, and Thomas says the relationship is wonderful, despite her frustration at being constantly quizzed about when she's getting hitched.
"I'm happy out with him - when we get time to see each other as we're both running around like headless chickens at the moment," she says.
Their one bone of contention is the issue of calorie counting on menus, given that she's a big fan and Padraig is still resistant.
"While I'm for it, I'm not about scaring the s**t out of people," she says.
"I go out to dinner and I know that because I'm quite good during the week I'll have a starter, main course, dessert and a bottle of wine.
"I know that's a large calorie count, so I won't have a big lunch or I'll go for a run beforehand or get up and walk the dog the next day."
Her other half recently opened a new venue called Union 8 in Kilmainham and also runs Catch 22 on South Anne Street.
Thomas seems confident that he's "coming around to the idea" of putting calories on all the menu at both places.
Continuing her interest in fitness, she opened a bootcamp on the west Cork island of Inish Beg last year.
Called Pure Results, it is "going great", she says.

"It's something that I concentrate on in the summer months, but it looks like April is booked out already and we're running right through until September.
This year's Operation Transformation has also been getting a thumbs-up from Irish TV viewers. Its audience share is up 7pc on last year, with 482,700 people tuning in each week.
It's not all get-fit. Thomas is also gearing up for the start of the live auditions of The Voice of Ireland, which she co-presents with Eoghan McDermott.
Does RTE's golden girl ever sleep? She freely admits that she "certainly doesn't like being bored", but is planning on taking a week off in the coming months to just chill out.
She has also had to develop a tough skin over the years, thanks to being in the public eye and also an active tweeter.
"The power of Twitter is amazing. Take something like Cervical Cancer Week, you can re-tweet something about it and instantly reach over 60,000 people. For me it's more of an information tool than anything else," she says.
"I keep saying to myself that I need to be more active and post more on Twitter. I thought I fell off the wagon a bit. I prefer it to Facebook, where it feels like you spend way too long stalking your friends from 100 years ago,"
How does she manage to keep her cool when the notorious Twitter trolls raise their heads?
"I get a bit of negativity, but nothing that I would ever let get to me because people are going to like what you do and you're not going to last in this game if you try to make everyone like you."
Operation Transformation is on RTE One on Wednesday at 8.30pm

I believe, Futurama season 6 episode 7 (s06e07) "The Late Philip J. Fry" will be much awaited by many fans a few days ahead. This episode promises a whole new storyline, and really fresh. If everything will go smoothly, then the schedule will appear immediately, starting on July 29, 2010 Comedy Central channel at 10:00pm.

Keep reading because of the this opportunity, we want to give you very useful information.
The Professor makes up a one-way time machine. He, Fry and Bender go ahead 1,000 years incidentally, and keep moving forward in time till a backwards time machine has been made up.

Unfortunately, until noon today, it seems there is no preview or a promo video for this latest episode, Futurama s06e07 "The Late Philip J. Fry" that has been circulating on Youtube.

Of course people want to know what will happen in the next 100 years, or maybe even a year ahead. Is it just a delusion? Looks like yes, and we can not change the time, it has become part of the natural law. Dreaming's okay, because that could be a very pleasant entertainment. But who can guess the next day? Could be an idea from Futurama season 6 episode 7 would have found it in the near future? And we do not worry about tomorrow, because we would anticipate it.

There is a major adoption controversy happening locally right now – a very sad story with many people in the wrong. I intended to write about that today, but had difficulty getting anything on paper. I'm too emotionally connected to improving the adoption system to communicate any intelligent thoughts. Still wanting to write about the subject though, I'm going to talk about some more things to think about when considering adopting. It is important to prepare as much as you can and listen to the experts giving you advice – an adoption failure is devastating.
Remember: When I approach the adoption issue, I'm thinking about adoption through the foster care system. This is what my family has experience with. Similar posts: 10 Questions to Consider When Thinking About Adoption and 5 More Questions to Consider When Adopting.
The following questions come from the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services.
Am I interested in adopting a sibling group? Would I consider adopting a sibling group in order to get the age of child I am interested in?
If you are going to be adopting through the foster care system, this question will likely come up at some point. Although I've heard some discouraging stories, we were never pressured to consider a sibling group in any way. I've mentioned before that our social worker sent us children outside our "specifications," but they never pushed us. This is worth thinking about before though – really thinking about. Even if the child you are planning to adopt does not have siblings currently up for adoption, they may in the future. It is not unusual for one child to be cleared for adoption prior to their sibling group. Are you willing to consider taking more children? Are you willing to consider it if the issue arises in the future? If your answer is no, I advise staying away from children who have siblings in the system unless you are willing to continue to facilitate that relationship.
Would I be willing to have on-going contact (open communication) with a child's birth parents?
Ties with the birth parents are severed once a child is adopted through the foster care system, but I want to talk about their foster parents. It is a thankless, wonderful job. Your child's former foster parents can be a wonderful resource for you, if they are willing to be in contact (not are all). This is especially true if the child has been placed with them for a while or if they are the first placement for the child. Don't shut the door on them just because he/she is "your" child now. Foster parents aren't here to step on your toes.
Could I parent a child who may have been sexually abused, physically abused and/or neglected? Could I parent a child that has an on-going medical issue, may be developmentally delayed, or diagnosed with a developmental disability? Could I parent a child who may have been exposed to drugs and alcohol in utero?
I want to make something very clear. Unless you have dealt with any of these issues personally before, you do not know. Okay? YOU DO NOT KNOW! There is no book, no class, and no degree in the world that can make you an expert on working with abused, neglected, delayed, or disabled children until you have experience working with those children. Even that specific child, as everyone is different. You will need help. You need to accept help and prepare for help. You cannot shut yourself off from others just because you are sure you know enough. YOU JUST DO NOT KNOW!
The following questions come from the Adoptive Families of the Capital Region, Inc. (AFCR).
Is it possible to talk with families who have adopted from the program you are interested in? Can you talk to parents that did not have a completely positive experience with the agency?
Check into this for sure! If you are working with your local DHS, you will be able to find many people who didn't have a completely positive experience (really, does a "completely positive" experience even exist in a situation like this?). Our local office has picnics for families considering adoption, foster families, and adoptive families. A simple call out to your friends on Facebook will probably turn up several people who have experience or know people who do. Follow up on these connections! There is nothing like hearing about the process from people on the other side. If nothing else, seek out blogs and articles where people talk about their experiences. Sure, the exact facts might not be the same, but DHS is DHS; it will be helpful.
What post adoption services are provided?
Let's be honest here, probably nothing. When you walk out of the courthouse, you will be on your own to find a support system, find resources, and navigate the system (if you are still in it, like we are due to the little man's disability). Again, don't shut yourself off. Adoption is something to be proud of; you don't have to pretend like it never happened and you aren't still adapting to your new family. I mean, geez. We tell parents of newborns to seek help when they need it, the same applies to you.

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Agriculture in its Sept. 12 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates projected 2013-14 global ending stocks of wheat at 176.28 million tonnes, up 2% from the August projection of 172.99 million tonnes and up about 1% from 173.85 million tonnes estimated for 2012-13.
World wheat production for 2013-14 was projected at a record 708.89 million tonnes, up 3.51 million tonnes from August and up 53.69 million tonnes, or 8%, from 655.2 million tonnes in 2012-13. Global wheat consumption was projected at a record 706.47 million tonnes, down slightly from the August forecast and up 25.8 million tonnes, or 4%, from 680.67 million tonnes in 2012-13. World wheat exports were projected at 154.52 million tonnes, up slightly from August and up 16.2 million tonnes, or 12%, from 138.32 million tonnes in 2012-13.
Commenting on its production forecasts, the U.S.D.A. said, "Higher production in Canada, the European Union and the former Soviet Union more than offsets reductions for Iran and Paraguay.
"Production is raised 2 million tonnes for Canada as cool July weather supported flowering and reproduction, and abundant soil moisture and favorably warm, dry weather in August aided grain fill and maturity across the Prairie provinces," the U.S.D.A. elaborated. "E.U. production is raised 1.5 million tonnes as harvest results confirm increases from the United Kingdom and Germany in the west to Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria in the east."
F.S.U. production was raised 1 million tonnes while production was lowered 1 million tonnes for Iran and 0.4 million tonnes for Paraguay.
World corn ending stocks in 2013-14 were projected at 151.42 million tonnes, up 1.25 million tonnes from the August forecast and up 28.83 million tonnes, or 19%, from the 122.59 million tonnes forecast for 2012-13.
World corn production was projected at 956.67 million tonnes, down slightly from August but up 96.61 million tonnes, or 11%, from 860.06 million tonnes in 2012-13. Global corn consumption was projected at 927.84 million tonnes in 2013-14, down 2.25 million tonnes from August but up 58.53 million tonnes, or 10%, from 869.31 million tonnes this year. World corn exports were projected at 102.72 million tonnes, down 1.48 million tonnes from August but up 8.37 million tonnes, or 9%, from 94.35 million tonnes in 2012-13.
"Global 2013-14 corn consumption is lowered with reductions in corn feeding in Argentina, Canada, and Serbia more than offsetting an increase for South Korea where wheat feeding is reduced this month," the U.S.D.A. said. "South Korea corn imports are raised accordingly. Corn exports for 2013-14 are lowered for Argentina, Paraguay, and Serbia. Global corn ending stocks for 2013-14 are projected 1.3 million tonnes higher with larger stocks in Brazil and the United States."
World soybean ending stocks for the 2013-14 marketing year were projected at 71.54 million tonnes, down slightly from August but up 9.99 million tonnes, or 16%, from 61.55 million tonnes in 2012-13.
World soybean production for 2013-14 was projected at 281.66 million tonnes, down slightly from August but up 14.18 million tonnes, or 5%, from 267.48 million tonnes in 2012-13. Global soybean consumption was projected at 268.89 million tonnes in 2013-14, up slightly from August and up 10.98 million tonnes, or 4%, from 257.91 million tonnes this year. World soybean exports were projected at 107.29 million tonnes, down slightly from August but up 9.55 million tonnes, or 10%, from 97.74 million tonnes in 2012-13.
Brazilian soybean production in 2013-14 was projected at a record 88 million, up 3 million tonnes from the August forecast and up 6 million tonnes from 2012-13.
Global rice carryover was projected at 107.39 million tonnes in 2013-14, up 2.22 million tonnes from 105.17 million tonnes in 2012-13. World rice production was projected at 476.77 million tonnes, up 7.78 million tonnes from 468.99 million tonnes in 2012-13. Total use was projected at 474.55 million tonnes, up 5.89 million tonnes from 468.66 million tonnes in the current year.

Rohit Shettys latest comic caper Bol Bachchan, produced by Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision and Ajay Devgn Films and presented by Fox Star Studios, has taken film marketing to an all new level.
In the age where technology makes our world go round and where internet gaming is the biggest rage among people of all age groups, the makers of the film have launched a new an interesting online game application called Angry Devgn.
The game which has created a viral frenzy is a Bol Bachchan version of the extremely popular game application Angry Birds. While the application is based on the animosity between the birds and the pigs, Angry Devgn has an animated version of Ajay completely matching his look in the film and in totally pehelwan style!

Choose your running clothes with care, as uncomfortable or inappropriate apparel will make your marathon day miserable.
The weather is an important factor when deciding on your clothes, so you may want to have a couple of different outfits ready for race day.
Try your clothes on well before the day of the marathon. Standing at the starting line is no time to be noticing your shorts are too tight. Prepare in advance by wearing your outfit for at least one long run.
Marathon Gear
Performance clothing is specially designed with materials that facilitate the most comfortable wear for runners.
Sara Wells, the 2003 National Marathon Champion states, "You'll run so much easier in real running clothes, such as those made of CoolMax or nylon."
CoolMax wicks moisture away from your body, keeping you cool, dry and comfortable throughout the entire marathon.
Some online stores offer a CoolMax singlet with built-in snap fasteners so you don't have to worry about pinning your race number to your shirt.
Their tops have no extra trim or seams, making them extremely comfortable for running. You can also find stretchable "DRYLINE" fabric shorts which support your hamstrings and quads, reducing muscle fatigue.
For chilly weather, you'll want a long-sleeved shirt and running pants. Choose clothes made with fabric that will pull moisture away from your skin – even when it's cold. Extreme temperatures may call for tights and thermals for extra insulation.
Essential Accessories
Wearing sunglasses will keep you from wasting energy squinting by keeping the sun out of your eyes. A hat with visor can serve the same purpose, as well as protect you from wind or rain. If you're running during winter, a warm hat that covers your ears is a must.
If it's too warm to wear a jacket over your running clothes, but you still need some protection against the elements, consider a vest. It will block the wind from your body's core, but leave your arms uncovered so you don't get overheated.
Ladies, don't forget a good quality sports bra. When browsing the Net you will find stores offering the Nike Women's Distance Airborne Running Sports Bra that gives you support and wicks moisture away from your body with "Dri-Fit" performance fabric.
Invest in the best running gear not only for the marathon, but also for your training. When you're properly outfitted, you'll enjoy the entire experience much more.

Safe4 Pet Disinfectant Probe Calming Claims By Customers
Cheshire - based Safe Solutions To Investigate Reports Their Animal Disinfectant Range Has Pet Calming Properties
When users of the non-toxic, alcohol-free Defra approved disinfectant which is a favourite with zoos, animal refuges and even the RSPCA were questioned about their reasons for choosing the brand their responses came as a complete surprise.
"Apparently, the animals are the biggest fans of our range because a significant number of those purchasers spoke to said they valued the calming effect it had on their dogs, cats and other animals," said Alan Dudley, MD of Safe Solutions, makers of the range.
"But quite frankly there is absolutely no ingredient in Safe4 with the capability to calm animals. It is a water-based, biodegradable and contains no phenols, aldhydes or alcohol so this calming effect is a mystery.
"Furthermore, it is interesting to see that our survey also showed that some animals seem to have individual preferences spread right across our product range which includes Lavender, Green (Apple), Freshmint and Odourless. Some like one fragrance but not the others.
"Our biggest selling point has always been the complete safety of our product which is totally non-toxic and perfectly safe to use. However, we are now looking at setting up a more formal investigation into the benefits of Safe4 from the point of view of the end user – the animals."
Chloe Weedall, office receptionist at Safe Solutions Winsford, Cheshire HQ knows only too well how animals can be picky about the smells that surround them. She regularly speaks to Safe4 customers who telephone her office for help and advice about jujmg products.
"Pet lovers always know the fragrance their animals prefer and they are in no doubt which suits their cat or dog when they call in for advice," said Chloe. "My own dog Indiana, an American bulldog actually prefers the Safe 4 apple fragrance. It really helps keep her settled.
"But I've had lots of conversations with customers about fragrance preferences since we launched our new Lavender fragrance. And all seem to be convinced their pet has a clear preference.
"The hygiene and safety elements of Safe4 certainly set it apart from anything else in the market. But perhaps now we can suggest it looks like we're also the pet's first choice too."

New Jersey's Lyken 21 continue to change, evolve and warp their music transforming the sounds of Dream Theater and Judas Priest with a subtle lipstick kiss of 80's glam and a touch of Euro metal flavor. They sound as blood thirsty about their music as their desire to play tunes started in the New Jersey underground but keep in touch with the mainstream. With lyrics about space and time, women of the night, the dark side of the human psyche and judgement day, they take an intelligent, thinking man's approach to the expanding metal mind of the public conscience.
Singer Marton Miklos's vocals venture near Priest, Halford and/or Ripper era with some Mustaine gnarled gristle and a back alley commanding growl. There are even tastes of hard rock Buck Cherry style and techno interplay. Oleg Lipovchenko and Emir Erkal let their guitars thrash, pound, peak and get technical. While bassist Andres Nuiver and drummer Matt Biehl keep everything intact, paced and away from spontaneous combustion. They take inspiration and pride reinventing the sounds of genre pioneers adding their own new bang and twist. Labeled "Generation Next," their fourth offering Taboo's Tyranny continues their ongoing musical story of mixing, mashing and moshing up musical meals to munch and chow down on with a four pronged pitchfork.
They're shared stages with Overkill, Skid Row, Kings X, WASP, Crobot, LA Guns, Stryper and Faster Pussycat among others.
"Onward Traveler's" mourning strings start the show marking the next journey. There's a bit of the good, bad and ugly here with some mid-80's Maiden, back in time.
"Starlight Symphony" plays the dance of the lunar, planetary, universal cosmos.
Stand out track "Serial Killer Voodeux" is cyber stellar as the cyber stalker is alive and prowling, stalking his territory outside till he finds you. Giving his victims fame through death, playing the killer blame game, projecting onto his prey. Guitars sound notes of warning, playing out the paranoia then play out his strategy schematic of savagery as drums pound his footsteps.
"Street Lover" looks for a quick fix and a guide to the hotel or backseat. The dusty back alley, street walker Sally, temp work like no other and she's a fine piece of asset, for the right dead president. There's a hair metal flair short of spandex as Miklos summons the sass of Little Richard and balls of Jerry Lee.
"Goodbye" basks in waves of tranquility with hints of the metal god as Miklos wraps the black leather glove around the mic, revving the engine. Farewell for now, gone way too soon with things never said.
"Neck deep in Ash" head's down the highway with the motor city mob-scene chasing them down and the devil's favorite demons overhead. Confessions, but no remorse for a life lived for evil and sin, facing damnation. Miklos brings out his Ripper Owens adding to the early 80's Priest tone on the dirty road rocker.
They take a page from the lizard king. Ramping up the octane on the sunset strip drenched LA classic. "Break on Through."
"Just not Now" has melodious growls, through robotic melody and keyboards with a bit of Euro influence. Dark secrets hidden well, most of the time, but there's cracks in the inner armor and psyche. Damning revelations are escaping.
"What's the Deal," finishing up the dark ride with a dark nod to vaudeville. There are a few glimmers of Manson and the golden age in the black absinthe. With the devils jump and jive, hell-bound style.
"Hail" to the kings of NWOBHM and melodic prog rock. We're all doomed on judgement day. But we'd rather go out our way.

Dr. Strangelove
What About Bob? (a bit silly but funny too)
There's Something About Mary (the dog on fire scene is precious)
The Pink Panther (first one by Steve Martin; the second was a disaster)
The Hangover (not so bright, but funny–Hangover II is a disaster)
Beverly Hills Cop
I also find the first few episodes of "Californication" to be smart and funny.
And "Fawlty Towers."
What are your candidates for intelligent comedies?

...., you are a lot
smarter than I am. And no, it isn't 6 letters in each word; you need a little more moxey than that. (And it is not at least 2 identical consonants in each word, either, which was my guess)
Are you peeking or have you already given up? Give it another try.... You'll kick yourself when you discover the answer.
Go back and look at them again; think hard. OK... Here you go. Hope you didn't cheat.
This is cool.
Answer: In all of the words listed, if you take the first letter, place it at the end of the word, and then spell the word backwards, it will be the same word. Did you
figure it out? Even if you did not, don't worry just send it to more people and stump them. Then you'll feel better.

OK, mosquitoes... prepare to be repelled !!!!!
Use Bounce Fabric Softener Sheets .Best thing ever used in Louisiana. Just wipe on & go. Great for Babies
Bob, a fisherman, takes one vitamin B-1 tablet a day April through October . He said it works. He was right. Hasn't had a mosquito bite in 33 years. Try it.
Every one he has talked into trying it works on them. Vitamin B-1( Thiamine Hydrochloride 100 mg.)
If you eat bananas, the mosquitoes like you, - something about the banana oil as your body processes it. Stop eating bananas for the summer and the mosquitoes
will be much less interested.
This is going to floor you, but one of the best insect repellents someone found (who is in the woods every day), is Vick's Vapor Rub.
Plant marigolds around the yard, the flowers give off a smell that bugs do not like, so plant some in that garden also to help ward off bugs without using
"Tough guy" Marines who spend a great deal of time "camping out" say that the very best mosquito repellant you can use is Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil mixed
about half and half with alcohol.
One of the best natural insect repellants that I've discovered is made from the clear real vanilla. This is the pure Vanilla that is sold in Mexico. It works
great for mosquitoes and ticks, don't know about other insects.

More totally useless facts to bore co-workers with ... take 2
Submitted by Kenneth, Shropshire, England
Submitted by Bill, Ardmore, Pa.
the end of his life the great science fiction author Isaac Asimov wrote a short story about the four stanzas of our national anthem. However brief, this well-circulated piece is an eye opener
from the dearly departed doctor...
I have a weakness -- I am crazy. Absolutely nuts, about our national anthem. The words are difficult and the tune is almost impossible, but frequently when I'm
taking a shower I sing it with as much power and emotion as I can. It shakes me up every time.
I was once asked to speak at a luncheon. Taking my life in my hands, I announced I was going to sing our national anthem -- all four stanzas. This was greeted
with loud groans. One man closed the door to the kitchen, where the noise of dishes and cutlery was loud and distracting. "Thanks, Herb," I said.
"That's all right," he said. "It was at the request of the kitchen staff."
I explained the background of the anthem and then sang all four stanzas. Let me tell you, those people had never heard it before -- or had never really
listened. I got a standing ovation. But it was not me; it was the anthem.
More recently, while conducting a seminar, I told my students the story of the anthem and sang all four stanzas. Again there was a wild ovation and prolonged
applause. And again, it was the anthem and not me.
So now let me tell you how it came to be written.
In 1812, the United States went to war with Great Britain, primarily over freedom of the seas. We were in the right. For two years, we held off the British,
even though we were still a rather weak country. Great Britain was in a life and death struggle with Napoleon. In fact, just as the United States declared war, Napoleon marched off to invade
Russia. If he won, as everyone expected, he would control Europe, and Great Britain would be isolated. It was no time for her to be involved in an American war.
At first, our seamen proved better than the British. After we won a battle on Lake Erie in 1813, the American commander, Oliver Hazard Perry, sent the message,
"We have met the enemy and they are ours." However, the weight of the British navy beat down our ships eventually. New England, hard-hit by a tightening blockade, threatened secession.
Meanwhile, Napoleon was beaten in Russia and in 1814 was forced to abdicate. Great Britain now turned its attention to the United State s, launching a
three-pronged attack.
The northern prong was to come down Lake Champlain toward New York and seize parts of New England.
The southern prong was to go up the Mississippi, take New Orleans and paralyze the west.
The central prong was to head for the Mid-Atlantic States and then attack Baltimore, the greatest port south of New York. If Baltimore was taken, the nation,
which still hugged the Atlantic coast, could be split in two. The fate of the United State s, then, rested to a large extent on the success or failure of the central prong.
The British reached the American coast, and on August 24, 1814, took Washington, D.C. Then they moved up the Chesapeake Bay toward Baltimore. On September 12,
they arrived and found 1,000 men in Fort McHenry, whose guns controlled the harbor. If the British wished to take Baltimore, they would have to take the fort.
On one of the British ships was an aged physician, William Beanes, who had been arrested in Maryland and brought along as a prisoner. Francis Scott Key, a
lawyer and friend of the physician, had come to the ship to negotiate his release.
The British captain was willing, but the two Americans would have to wait. It was now the night of September 13, and the bombardment of Fort McHenry was about
to start.
As twilight deepened, Key and Beanes saw the America n flag flying over Fort McHenry. Through the night, they heard bombs bursting and saw the red glare of
rockets. They knew the fort was resisting and the American flag was still flying. But toward morning the bombardment ceased, and a dread silence fell. Either Fort McHenry had surrendered and
the British flag flew above it, or the bombardment had failed and the American flag still flew.
As dawn began to brighten the eastern sky, Key and Beanes stared out at the fort, trying to see which flag flew over it. He and the physician must have asked
each other over and over, "Can you see the flag?"
After it was all finished, Key wrote a four-stanza poem telling the events of the night. Called "The Defense of Fort McHenry," it was published in newspapers
and swept the nation. Someone noted that the words fit an old English tune called, "To Anacreon in Heaven" -- a difficult melody with an uncomfortably large vocal range. For obvious reasons,
Key's work became known as "The Star Spangled Banner," and in 1931 Congress declared it the official anthem of the United State s.
Now that you know the story, here are the words. Presumably, the old doctor is speaking. This is what he asks Key:
Oh! say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there.
Oh! say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
"Ramparts," in case you don't know, are the protective walls or other elevations that surround a fort. The first stanza asks a question. The second gives an
On the shore, dimly seen thro' the mist of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep.
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream
'Tis the Star-Spangled Banner. Oh! long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
"The towering steep" is again, the ramparts. The bombardment has failed, and the British can do nothing more but sail away, their mission a failure. In the
third stanza, I feel Key allows himself to gloat over the American triumph. In the aftermath of the bombardment, Key probably was in no mood to act otherwise.
During World War II, when the British were our staunchest allies, this third stanza was not sung. However, I know it, so here it is:
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footstep's pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave,
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
The fourth stanza, a pious hope for the future, should be sung more slowly than the other three and with even deeper feeling:
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation,
Blest with victory and peace, may the Heaven - rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause is just,
And this be our motto --"In God is our trust."
And the Star-Spangled Banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.
I hope you will look at the national anthem with new eyes. Listen to it, the next time you have a chance, with new ears. And don't let them ever take it away.

Hi, have you a project (for the future) of a robotic system based on Arducopter? A low cost quadcopter etc…?
We're tinkering with quadcopters right now, and while we might get use some arduocopter material, it would be based on internal stuff.
Thank you for the response!
Have you other informations about this project?
Not much, no. We're aiming for very low cost, yet to be expandable. It would likely be very small, and not much payload, but very cheap, open-source and expandable. Also, not coming out for a while
We did a very compact 4-legged version a while back. While a bit cheaper, Not too fussed about mobile app integration right now
Not at this time, no. there are already too many quadcopters available for it to be worth our time, compared to other robots we could make.

Adam Jentleson is the Deputy Chief of Staff for Senator Harry Reid. He previously served as Senator Reid's Communications Director from 2011 to 2015. Prior to that, he spent six years working at the intersection of policy and politics on two presidential campaigns for John Kerry in 2004 and John Edwards in 2008 and for nonprofit organizations such as the Center for American Progress. Before entering politics he taught at the Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) charter school in the Bronx, New York. He holds a BA in American History from Columbia University.
The following interview has been lightly edited for clarity.
DPR: We've begun all of our guest interviews with the same question, which is: how has the presidential election affected your day-to-day work?
AJ: Well, as of two weeks ago, it was only going to be tangential to our work. The plan for this year before [Justice Scalia] passed away was just to have the Senate and the House not enter into it. That was by design. The Republican leader Mitch McConnell just wanted to pass some medium-scale bills, do the appropriations process, and stay out of the news, in order to let people run their races…his main goal was to stay out of the presidential race. Then Scalia passed away, and all of a sudden, we're right in the forefront of everything, including the Presidential race.
And these are the kinds of fights that Senator Reid was born to engage with. I think it's really energized Democrats across the board, and I think people are deeply offended at the way Republicans are treating the President and his future nominee. It's given us an issue that's extremely important, an issue that will continue to be in the public eye and at the forefront of the campaign, I think for probably the entire duration. So if you had to name one way in which the Senate and our work on the Democratic side was factoring into this, it would be in pushing our case in the Supreme Court fight.
DPR: You mentioned that you had worked with the Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP) before entering politics, and between political jobs, you worked at the Center for American Progress. How have these experiences informed your work in politics?
AJ: It's helped me go into politics with a very acute sense of how public policy matters. It impacts people on the ground and their day-to-day lives. I was very inspired by those kids on a daily basis, and they continue to inspire me. KIPP's motto is "no excuses", and not to generalize, but a lot of the kids that we worked with had to put up with and fight through a lot more by the age of 13 or 14… their issues are far more challenging than most things I've had to deal with in my life, so it puts things in perspective and it helps you believe that there really shouldn't be any excuses. You should be able to get things done.
DPR: The rise of Donald Trump within the Republican primary has led many to talk about a "schism" potentially occurring. Based on your firsthand knowledge, what do you think is likely to happen?
AJ: I think there's a break coming. I think that we have seen it on the Hill, because what we've seen since the 2010 midterms was Republican leaders stoking very powerful and very dangerous forces within American society. Forces of resentment, and forces of hatred. And the groundwork for that Tea Party summer of 2009 was all laid by McCain picking Sarah Palin in 2008. There was a lot of this anti-Muslim bigotry apparent at those rallies… it was all there for people to see if they wanted to see it.
And Republicans stoked those forces to reap electoral gains. And as Democrats watching this happen, we've always had this [skepticism]. Look, John Boehner was swept into the majority speaker's position, and John Boehner is a country club, classic, elite Republican. But he rode this force to power that's kind of the opposite of that. It is working class, resentment based, hatred of all things Obama. And so for years, starting with the debt ceiling crisis of 2011, we've been fascinated by this. These two things do not – cannot peacefully coexist… and [we've been wondering] what's going to happen? How do leaders like Boehner stoke these forces on one hand and then try to get these guys to govern responsibly on the other?
And that was the big question – were they ever going to be able to take that blunt force, and use it to achieve more rational policy goals? And after the 2014 election, everybody felt like the Republican establishment had achieved this difficult balancing act and had somehow managed to get the collar around the Tea Party and had managed to use them to win political victories but then keep them at bay when necessary. And that's turned out to not be true. I think there's an unavoidable schism because, first of all, Trump's here to stay; he's not going anywhere, [and even] if the establishment is somehow able to wrest the nomination from him, either by Rubio having some kind of incredible comeback or by a brokered convention, he's not going anywhere. He's just going to run as an independent and take 20% of the vote from the party leader.
I read a story on the way over here that Rubio's getting his top supporters tomorrow to explain how he's going to take his fight all the way to the convention. I mean, that's great for Rubio, but it's also a fool's errand, because if Trump continues to win, he actually has a completely legitimate claim to the nomination because he won it according to the rules set by the party. But also, all Rubio's saying is that [he's creating] an 8-month civil war from now until the election. That means that you're going to have an ongoing war between the GOP establishment and the Trump wing of the party.
I've always thought that the Republican Party for a long time has been floating itself along on this, you know, sea of resentment and anger. And that was kind of the true… that's the modern Republican Party the way it is. But a lot of Republicans, especially establishment republicans, would push back on that idea and say, "We're not. We're modern, we're cosmopolitan, we're not racist," and if Trump becomes their standard-bearer, there's going to be an incredible incentive for a faction of the party to say, "This isn't who we are." And it's a question of survival not just for the party in the 2016 election but also if they continue beyond that to be a viable second party in America. And I think it'll become a point of intellectual pride and distinction for a lot of Republicans to say, "I don't support Trump."
They're going to say, "We have to look out for our party's potential." They might just say that 2016 is over. That stinks, but you have to cut your losses and focus on keeping the party intact for 2018, when the Senate map is very bad for Democrats, and they have a chance at creating a lot of losses. You know, they might just focus on the [Supreme Court] nomination part of the Hillary Clinton administration. So I think there's a big schism coming, and the best they can hope for is to kind of mitigate their losses.
But there's a lot who say in Democratic circles [not to] underestimate Trump. You know, there's a middle ground of people who we shouldn't be arrogant about and assume we're going to win, but there is a pretty good chance. If you're a Republican, you have got to be nervous right now and be assuming that the guy is going to lose in a general election campaign.
