So Iranian President Hassan Rouhani will not, it seems, shake hands with U.S. President Barack Obama in a U.N. hallway. As their two delegations arrived on Tuesday morning at the U.N. General Assembly, speculation was rife that a meeting could take place on the sidelines — a first for the two countries' leaders in more than 34 years. It was not to be — but there remain reasons for optimism. Rouhani swept the presidential election in a last-minute upset in June, raising expectations that he can simultaneously bring his country back into the international fold, repair relations with the U.S. and restart negotiations over Iran's nuclear-enrichment program, all under the watchful eye of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, who has stated — numerous times — that there will be no compromises on Iran's sovereignty. Actually meeting Obama would have likely been the easiest thing Rouhani did all week.
Khamenei sent Rouhani to the U.N. with his blessings to open the door to the possibility of nuclear negotiations. But what the Supreme Leader giveth, he can easily take away. Rouhani must balance the West's demands for nuclear concessions and human-rights progress against red lines at home, respecting an old guard determined to protect Iran's Islamic Revolution while delivering on his promises to a reformist youth bloc that ushered him into power. If he can't deliver at home, he won't get very far internationally. Here are five domestic issues with foreign policy implications he will have to navigate in order to pull off the impossible task of pleasing all of the people all of the time.
Political Prisoners
On the eve of Rouhani's departure for New York City, his government announced that some 80 political prisoners would be pardoned — fulfilling one of Rouhani's early campaign promises. Many of the prisoners, including journalists, bloggers and human-rights activists, had been jailed for their involvement in the Green movement — mass demonstrations sparked by the allegedly fraudulent re-election of then President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in 2009, which were brutally suppressed. "Rouhani is showing voters that he is fulfilling his promises, and demonstrating to Obama that he can deliver on sensitive issues," says Trita Parsi, president of the National Iranian American Council and author of several books on Iran. It was an adept move, demonstrating to the West Rouhani's ability to control the levers of power within Iran, without making a concession to the U.S. that would weaken his standing at home. Now, says Parsi, "when Obama looks Rouhani in the eye and says 'How do I know you can deliver on the nuclear issue?' he can say 'I just released 80 political prisoners. When was the last time you won against Congress?'"
But the real test is yet to come. Green movement leaders Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi, the reformist candidates defeated by Ahmadinejad in 2009, are still under house arrest. Their release is one of the biggest demands of Rouhani's reform constituency, but doing so risks rattling Iran's old guard.
Personal Freedoms
When Iranians discovered early last week that they could directly access Facebook and Twitter for the first time since the 2009 protests, they believed Rouhani was coming through on another key campaign promise, opening up the Internet and loosening cumbersome restrictions on personal freedoms. The euphoria was short-lived: less than 12 hours later the government filters were back in place, the whole episode a "technical glitch," according to the government authority that governs cyberspace in Iran. But hopes are high that Rouhani will eventually come through. After all, he did send out Jewish New Year greetings on what is thought to be his personal Twitter account (@HassanRouhani) earlier in the month, and on Sept. 22, just before he got on the plane for New York City, he promised, via Twitter (and in English) to "introduce citizens' rights charter soon. We want to see people completely free in their private lives." What that means is still unclear, however.
Will the hated religious police still take women to task for exposing too much hair under their mandatory headscarves on the streets, or demand proof of marriage from couples caught holding hands at a restaurant? It's not just young Iranians who care. Loosening restrictions on personal freedoms could indirectly have an impact on international sanctions, says Parsi, who points out that the E.U. joined the sanctions regime largely out of a concern for Iran's miserable human-rights record under Rouhani's predecessor Ahmadinejad. "If the Europeans see that Iran is moving in the right direction, releasing political prisoners, opening up the Internet and allowing more personal freedoms, they will want to lessen sanctions," says Parsi.
When it comes to supporting the regime of Bashar Assad in Syria, Iran is in a bind. The Syrian regime is Iran's only Arab ally, and a key logistics hub for its support of Hizballah in neighboring Lebanon — important as deterrence against archenemy Israel. But domestically speaking, the Iranian government's financial and political support for Assad is very unpopular. Iranians are already sensitive about being international pariahs for their government's intransigence on the nuclear issue, and don't want to be lumped in with a Syrian regime that has earned worldwide opprobrium for its brutality. They also resent the fact that despite a financial crisis, significant amounts of money are being disbursed to help Hizballah and Assad. But even on such a significant alliance as Syria's, Rouhani has demonstrated a willingness to make concessions. When the U.S. threatened strikes against Assad's government in the wake of the Aug. 21 chemical-weapons attack that killed hundreds in the Damascus suburbs, Rouhani made no mention of retaliation. Instead, he offered to help in the anticipated aftermath, telling a panel of Islamic theologians in Tehran on Sept. 10, "The Islamic Republic of Iran will do its religious and humanitarian duty and send food and medicine." Without assigning blame to either side in the Syria conflict, Rouhani has repeatedly condemned the use of chemical weapons in speeches and on Twitter, "because the Islamic Republic of Iran is itself a victim of chemical weapons." While Russia took the lion's share of the credit, it's quite likely that Iranian pressure pushed Assad to acquiesce to joining the international convention against chemical weapons, declaring the extent of his stockpile and offering it up for destruction in the process.
But Iran still has forces in Syria, in the form of Revolutionary Guard consultants, and has helped train and supply Assad's soldiers, according to a recent investigative report by the Wall Street Journal. As a major actor in the Syrian conflict and a principal supplier of arms and financing to the regime, Iran can play a significant role in pressuring Assad to enter into negotiations. But only if it is allowed to. So far the U.S., and its allies in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states, has resisted including Iran in the upcoming Geneva II discussions about a transition plan for Syria. "Once they are in Geneva, I think they can do a lot," says Parsi. "But I doubt that they will do much if they are not part of the process." Iran's role in a future Syria solution is as much a test for Rouhani as it is for the U.S.
Even without sanctions the country, shackled as it is to ruinous subsidy programs, suffers from eight years of Ahmadinejad's bad economic policy. It is likely to take even longer to set the country's finances right. But with a rapidly growing population, calamitous unemployment figures and runaway inflation, Rouhani doesn't have the luxury of time. The quickest way to improve the economy, without taking the unpopular step of removing food and fuel subsidies, is loosening sanctions. But that requires difficult compromises on Iran's fiercely defended nuclear program. Even if Iran won't give up the program per U.S. demands, flexibility on Rouhani's part may help delegitimize some sanctions, at least in Europe, providing some relief and allowing him to maintain support at home.
Nuclear Negotiations
In an opinion piece in the Washington Post last week, Rouhani laid out his vision for Iran's successful engagement with the West, as well as his case for continuing Iran's nuclear-enrichment program: "To us, mastering the atomic fuel cycle and generating nuclear power is as much about diversifying our energy resources as it is about who Iranians are as a nation, our demand for dignity and respect and our consequent place in the world." That is likely to become the biggest sticking point in any future negotiations. The U.S. wants to substantially limit the degree of enrichment, to the point of stopping it entirely, the better to preclude Iran's ability to produce nuclear weapons on the side. Iran, for its part, says it has no intention to create such devices, and only plans to build nuclear reactors for energy production, medical use and research. In moving the nuclear-negotiations portfolio from the hard-line Supreme National Security Council to the Foreign Ministry, headed by the new President's hand-selected deputy Mohammad Javad Zarif, Rouhani has at least been able to dial down the bombast. The next step will be even more delicate. Rouhani will be able to address some U.S. concerns about the nuclear program in upcoming discussions, but if those tentative compromises are not immediately, and demonstrably, met with reciprocal relief from sanctions, it could be the death knell for Rouhani's engagement strategy, and a return to Iran's hard-line stance. Trusting the U.S. may be Rouhani's biggest test yet.

It's summer, time to hit the beaches in Maryland and elsewhere. But are they safe for swimming?
Local health departments, with help and oversight from the state Department of the Environment, are responsible for checking the water for contamination by human or animal waste. Health agencies typically post alerts to the public if bacteria levels are found high enough to pose a threat that bathers could become sick from splashing around.
In Anne Arundel County, with 533 miles of shoreline and more than 100 community beaches, there's extra vigilance, with testing done not just by the health department but by environmental groups and private communities.
My colleague Pam Wood has a great story today in the Baltimore Sun about the testing. While the unofficial groups don't have authority to post warnings or swim advisories, they do post their results, which unfortunately often indicate unsafe conditions at some popular community beaches in the county.
Sometimes the contamination comes from sewage or septic leaks, sometimes from wildlife. But usually, bacteria counts go up after a storm, as rainfall washes animal and human waste, trash and other debris into the water. That's another reason environmental groups favor local storm-water management fees - derided as a "rain tax" by opponents - to pay for controlling and cleaning up that runoff.
Meanwhile, several environmental groups have filed notice that they intend to sue the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency over its beach water-quality monitoring criteria, the guidelines followed nationwide by most state and local authorities in testing beach safety and deciding whether to warn the public or close places to swimming.
The groups - Clean Ocean Action, Hackensack Riverkeeper, Heal the Bay, Natural Resources Defense Council, NY/NJ Baykeeper, Riverkeeper and Waterkeeper Alliance - contend that new beach monitoring criteria that EPA adopted last year fail to adequately protect the public's health. EPA now allows up to 10 percent of water samples to have contamination levels it deems unsafe without considering that a violation, the groups contend.
The agency's criteria would now permit a level of risk where 36 out of 1,000 beachgoers might become ill with nausea, stomach aches and vomiting, the groups contend. Moreover, they say, the EPA's criteria deal mainly with preventing stomach illnesses without considering conditions that could lead to other health problems, such as skin rashes and ear infections.

Investigators believe the gunman shot his mother at home, where he lived with her, and are researching the suspected gunman's writings, looking for any clues as to what might have precipitated one of the worst mass shootings in history. NBC's Pete Williams reports.
The weapons used in Friday's shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., were legally purchased and registered to Nancy Lanza, the mother of the gunman, Adam Lanza, two law enforcement officials told NBC News.
The gunman was clad in black and used two 9mm pistols to kill 20 small children and six adults at the school. It was unclear how many shots were fired there.
Two 9mm handguns, one made by Glock and the other by Sig Sauer, were recovered inside the school. An AR-15-type rifle also was found at the scene, but there were conflicting reports Friday night whether it had been used in the shooting.
In total, 28 people died in Friday's rampage, including the gunman, who was found at the scene, and a woman believed to be Nancy Lanza, found shot dead at a home in Newtown. She was a teacher.
Under Connecticut law, people under 21 are prohibited from purchasing or carrying handguns. Adam Lanza was 20.
The nonprofit Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence ranks gun control laws in Connecticut and neighboring states New Jersey, New York and Massachusetts as the most stringent in the nation, after California.
Government officials
Undated photo confirmed by government officials to be Adam Lanza, who apparently killed himself after killing more than two dozen others, including 20 school children.
Connecticut allows possession of assault rifles, except those with certain features, such as a fixed bayonet type lug, or a collapsible stock, according to attorney David Clough of Southbury, Conn.
Otherwise they are allowed, and like other rifles, easier to acquire than handguns.
Under Connecticut law, anyone 21 or older can purchase ammunition, Clough said.
The Associated Press, citing an unnamed official, reported that state police records show that Nancy Lanza had legally purchased five firearms, all registered in Connecticut, though the reported was not independently confirmed by NBC News. The AP later reported that authorities also recovered three other guns — a Henry repeating rifle, an Enfield rifle and a shotgun. It was not clear where those weapons were found.
There have been several mass shootings in 2012 alone, and on Friday President Obama said politicians will need to come together to take action regardless of the politics. NBC's Tom Costello reports.

text: 410 Gone - Thoughts on Mark "diveintomark" Pilgrim's and _why's infosuicides October 10, '11 Comments [66] Posted in Blogging | Musings Sponsored By I don't know Mark Pilgrim personally. I only know his work and it's excellent. I knew of him first from his Dive Into Accessibility almost a decade ago and later from his other "Dive Into" books that educated a young generation on Python, and most recently HTML 5. Mark is alive, but online he's gone. He committed "infosuicide" last week. All of his websites are Gone. That's capital G, Gone. Not 404, Not Found, but the not-often-used HTTP Status 410. And this is where it gets concerning to me. HTTP Status 410 states per the spec with emphasis mine: Indicates that the resource requested is no longer available and will not be available again. This should be used when a resource has been intentionally removed and the resource should be purged. Upon receiving a 410 status code, the client should not request the resource again in the future. Clients such as search engines should remove the resource from their indices. Most use cases do not require clients and search engines to purge the resource, and a "404 Not Found" may be used instead. As it says, most use cases don't call for removal from a search engine, but in this case, Mark literally and figuratively "took his ball and went home," no longer interested in playing. The first major "infosuicide" of note was that of whytheluckystiff, author of Why's Poignant Guide to Ruby. No one knows why _why left, but a tweet just before he left said: programming is rather thankless. u see your works become replaced by superior ones in a year. unable to run at all in a few more. Perhaps one can glean some meaning from that. In a similar vein, in 2008 Mark blogged on minimalism and then before Twitter existed Mark Pilgrim blogged (almost 7 years ago this month) a microblogpost, preserved via the Wayback Machine: It's time for me to find a new hobby. Preferably one that doesn't involve angle brackets. Or computers. Or electricity. Why do I care? I'm exploring this as someone who has been blogging publically and effectively nonstop since 2002. That's almost a decade, Dear Reader. For me to leave, either willingly or unwillingly, after putting so much useful (presumably, says my ego) information out there would be one thing. But to leave AND remove all that information, declaring it Gone and asking that it no longer be indexed seems, on the surface, to be a selfish act. I realize it costs money to keep a website up but it's typically not a crushing expense. If one wanted to retreat from online life (as I sometimes do) one could add a banner to their existing sites that says something like "I'm taking a break and teaching high school" or "I've become a non-technical ER nurse" or "I've opened a hair salon" (each has been a one-time fantasy job for me) and setup an email auto-responder. This extraction from being online wouldn't take more than a week of prep and would be perceived as a much classier - although not as dramatic - move than a disappearance hinging on an HTTP status code. Even so, Erik Meyer quotes Mark in a 2003 post: "Embracing HTTP error code 410 means embracing the impermanence of all things." - Mark Pilgrim, March 27, 2003 (diveintomark.com) That's an accurate albeit mighty metaphysical reading into the HTTP spec. Do bloggers/teachers/infopublishers have the right to leave the community? Of course. Do we have the right to control, and ultimately remove our content? Surely. But to put so much information out and to remove it seems unnecessary. Is it to much to ask to maintain ones own archive, if only for a little while? I've always said two things. First, respect the permalink. Second, don't give bile a permalink. While a 410 isn't bile, it's not the most respectful way to disappear. Reading into Mark's blog, it's obvious that being on the web didn't feed his spirit. It does leave one to wonder, when you pass on, will you be mirrored or just 410 Gone? Gone The requested resource / is no longer available on this server and there is no forwarding address. Please remove all references to this resource. I truly wish Mark all the best in his disconnected life, as I do anyone else who wants to disconnect. If they come back, we'll be here.

Why the White House is Smart to Take on FOX
I don't know if this is prevalent in other cultures, I've mostly seen black folks do it as of late - but the one thing that I hate more than black republicans or extremely toothy blowjobs is a person who passionately defends an artist that they like by simply noting the size of their bank account. Let me give you an example. I'm of the firm belief that Tyler Perry's movies are cinematic poison. Even though I don't wish any physical harm on the director, for all I know he has a heart that should qualify him for Sainthood, but the gruesome things that I want to do to people who incessantly gush over his extremely shitty movies would scare the shit out of Stephen King. Stereotypical characters. Phoned in storylines. Cringeworthy dialogue. A black man in a goddamn dress. I'd really have to dedicate a blog series to accurately cite every reason I loathe the creative vision of Tyler Perry. Whenever I've expressed said disdain whether online or in every day conversions, the winning retort that I usually find myself on the business end of goes like this: "Yeah, but he's making money!!" You also get the same clumsy response when you criticize some monosyllabic rapper with a limited world view that they happen to be a fan of. Forget about the substantive gripes that you may have, from sub par lyricism to the fact that said artist happens to be a new millennium minstrel act, the fact that he/she never has to look at a price tag again is supposed to easily thwart all of your artsy fartsy critiques.
I'm only highlighting my least favorite defense of substandard artistry because Rupert Murdock reminded me of it recently when he pointed to FOX's increased ratings after he was asked about the White House taking on his News channel. Tyler Perry's vast fortune doesn't address the piss poor craftsmanship of his movies, a rapper who can pawn his platinum chain collection and singlehandedly pay for sufficient Health Care reform doesn't negate his mindnumbingly wack lyrics - and Rupert Murdoch pointing to an increase in ratings due to FOX's back and forth with the White House doesn't fundamentally answer their claim that they aren't a legitimate news channel. Besides, the White House could care less if they help FOX News get 10 Million more viewers, because their attack on FOX really isn't about FOX.
The White House doesn't have to look any further than that last Democratic Presidential Debate that ABC's George Stephanopoulos and Charles Gibson hosted to know how quickly right wing smears can infiltrate the mainstream media. People forget that it took both moderators 52 minutes to ask anything resembling a substantive question, most of the time was allotted to silly shit like Flagpins, Reverend Wright, and William Ayers. Stephanopoulos was basically a puppet for the right wing in that debate with Sean Hannity and Steve Malzberg pulling the proverbial strings - being that both men personally urged him to ask about William Ayers when he was on their respective shows. We also can't forget that Reverend Wright was a personal fetish of Sean Hannity's months before the mainstream media finally bowed to right wing finger wagging and started covering it, yet another example of the national discourse being sullied by the mainstream media taking its cues from FOX. Remember the Democratic Presidential Debate between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama that Tim Russert moderated? I'm sure the White House does. That was a debate where the sorely missed Russert not only asked Obama about Reverend Wright, but didn't seem to accept a clear word like "Denounce" when grilling him on Minister Louis Farrakhan. Undoubtedly more right wing influence.
Listen, that was only a small example of how right wing meems seeped into all facets of the press during the campaign season, if you are an ardent watcher of the news like I am then you know that that sort thing happens all the time. (See Czars, "Enemies lists", "Death Panels") The White House knows this all too well. Their attack on FOX isn't about them "whining", something that many intellectually lazy writers have accused them of. Their attack on FOX isn't about garden variety pushback, they know that the bottom feeders over there will continuously call him everything from a Communist to a puppy torturer no matter how much they fight back. The White House tapping FOX News on the proverbial shoulder and asking them to "step outside" is more about shaming all the other news outlets who from this point forward proceed to regurgitate their horseshit smears as if it were legitimate news. It's an extremely smart tactic. I can totally imagine, after 6 more months of saying that FOX "isn't really a news network", some White House official sarcastically prefacing their answer to someone at CNN with, "Wow, that's a FOX News question.." Its a great way of marginalizing FOX while rhetorically wrapping legitimate news organizations on the wrists for clumsily reporting smears. This is a brilliant strategy, please keep it up.

Well, if you live in the U.S., the prevailing values system is-if you are making money than you must have a product worth something to somebody and if you make that valued product-you must be "smart". Money is the king so if you have it-you rule. I don't agree with part about "smart" but people respect the moneymakers like T.P.
My father used to say, money isn't everything...
Yup!!! Notice the village(Washington's media insiders think David Broder and his ilk ) have jumped to Faux's defense. Your bwoy Joey Scar is right indignant about a White House attacking a "news organization" it would be funny if it was not so sad.

Wise words, sir.
I also get pissed when people use the "but he's getting that paper" argument. People really think this life's all about money...it's like there's no greater concern for them.
- Unknown said...
Well said sir. You have a unique point of view and I thoroughly enjoy reading your post. We need you on some of these cable shows instead of these spineless and brain-dead hacks passing for pundits. Keep on bringin the pain. Oh yeah,Tyler Perry sucks.
- Unknown said...
Thank you for talking sense. I follow you on twitter and am glad you RT'ed yourself. :) So glad someone is calling Fox on lying and the BS they peddle as truth.
2 points nailed. You've also hit on the underpinning of the healthcare "debate". Some people REALLY think, that if you don't have healthcare coverage it's because you didn't work hard enough or you didn't earn it. This countries' obsession with financial success = accomplishment is tired and old. Most of the time, "successful" people are just in the right place at the right time. IE- Tyler Perry and your crappy rappers.
As far as the FOX point, couldn't have said it better myself, that is the strategy and it's well played by Obama's Whitehouse. The only problem is there will be a return of the serve eventually where FOX tries to matyr themselves, and some news agencies will come to their defense. Next move after that? That's when it gets tough.
- murderator said...
The Tyler Perry phenomenon remains completely bewildering to me. I keep reading gushing reviews of his movies -- in respectable publications! Are they watching the same movies that I'm strenuously avoiding?
Oh, and as far as the Fox News bullshit goes, as you say, high ratings don't equal quality content. It just means that we really are a nation of gullible Lowest Common Denominator motherfuckers.
- Alexisnbrown said...
Money isn't everything, so people are still entitled to dislike what they want regardless of how successful it is.
Though the post is about Fox News, which I don't watch therefore can't comment on, I have a note about the TP thing.
"Stereotypical characters. Phoned in storylines. Cringeworthy dialogue. A black man in a goddamn dress." All (except the last thing with the dress) are also true of the Judd Apatow movies as well. What I've observed about Tyler Perry movies is that black critics of his work - not necessarily you - seem to think the success of the images he portrays reflect on black culture as a whole and are therefore harmful. I don't find anything wrong with his movies and I respect those who do, but I disagree when people take this approach to criticism. We don't judge other whole races from their movies. For example, white people don't get up in arms about their portrayal in Judd Apatow movies. I think black people should relax the same way. Either like something or don't, but don't make it so personal.
- Unknown said...
1. the White house hasn't really attacked Fox news... they stated an opinion.
2. from experience, mentioned someone or something's name visibly in public, only gives them power.
3. btw, its murdoch, not murdock...
I loved your post though the choice of slur words you used were unflattering.
Stay Positive
- Rose said...
With the fox news situation, I never thought about it like that. That's is a good strategy.

Pick your brains

: : : A couple of days ago I told a client that I wanted to pick his brains. He proceeded to ask me how I planned to do that. Seemed an odd question, but he went on to tell me how the term evolved. It was rather gruesome. He said that it comes from when Egyptians mummified bodies, as well as pulling out all the other internal organs, they would pull (or pick) their brains out (and I'm not describing how, because you might be eating).
: : : Was this guy having a lend of me or was he fair dinkum?

: It is a reasonable assumption that most ancient Egyptians would have difficulty with some modern English idioms and might baulk at the notion that their religious ceremonies where cited as the origin of such a common English phrase - they were classier than that.
Except for those who engaged in bawdy hieroglyphic rhyming slang....

text: dave ziegler Posted July 1, 2007 Hello to everyone been very sick but getting better now. Yesterday Sat -06-30-07 A friend and I went to visit a friend we had not seen in 20 years I got to talking about Kinsey and how much I loved Old Hickory Bourbon well he said wait he came out with a half full 1/2 gal of Old Hickory Kentucky 80 proof he had in his Cabiniet for 30 years. It smelled so dam good and my friend and I had a shooter, and I had a second one it was every bit as smooth and tasty as I remembered when I drank it over 30 years before when I worked for continental Distilling I think it is Chuck that always says it keeps. Well he was kind to me and sold me the rest for $20. I will save it and have some on my 60th birthday in Sept. My buddy Don had never had Old Hicxkory and was amazed at its smoothness and drinkablity. He said to me that is the Best Dam Whiskey I have ever drank! I have been working on a list of Publicker/Continental Products I talked to a guy who worked in the Bottle House and He said they had about a Hundred twelve brands counting all the Custom stuff they did for other companies. I have also found by finding old labels that they owned or Bottled for, I think owned Amwerican Distilling for a bit in the early 1970's as they have labels stating 3 brands saying they were Distilled at Pekin #2 and aged and bottled at DSP #12 Linfield Pa. I also did a search about Publicker in 1980 when they were selling off their Plants and reading about American Distilling it says it was sold to who ever has it now for Gasohol in 1980 the year Publicker went to just Chemicals. In talking to a couple of People who worked for Publicker till the end they said around Nov-Dec 1979 is when they shut down all whiskey Bottling. Two of the labeled bottles I have say that were distilled in Pekin #2 and aged and bottled in Linfield are Midwest Straight Corn Whiskey, also Stillbrook Corn Whiskey and My friend has labels for Old Colony Gin that was distilled in Pekin and bottled in Linfied pa. The Labels say American Distilling Linfield Pa. I hope the day comes I can get this stuff all together and write a book about Publicker. I talked to a lady that was a Line Boss in the bottle house for 20 years she said they had another Large Bottling house at Lemont IL so that is why the Labels allot of times say Linfield,Pa Lemont IL. The next time I write I will give a list of Products I have 49 brands they did one of their biggest lines the last 5 years was a line of Whiskeys,Gins,Vodkas,Bourbons,and Canadian Whiskeys and Rums for A&P Stores I am lucky enough to have 99% of those bottles they were the Red Crown brands and the labels state distilled, aged,and Bottled for A&P by Red Crown Distillers Linfield Pa. I have found they had many names they used. It is hard for me to believe they are gone and the place sits in total ruin now. Oh The guy that had the Old Hickory also had a full bottle of The only Scotch Whiskey I ever liked Continentals Inverhouse Green Label Scotch. I ended up buying it to, I will give it a taste some time soon It was open but full and smelled great! Dave z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Big Dam

jeeesh, this is legal??? I live in WI and the DNR has all types of rules about streams & rivers. (trout habit, runoff, navigable waterway, erosion, and on and on.....).
Obviously I know NOTHING about TX regs, so good luck! Sounds like a great swimming hole!

I wouldn't think a run-off ditch would be regulated. That's not a stream, creek or any other type of waterway that I can imagine. I would guess that as long as he doesn't cause flooding with his dam no one will care.
But...I'm no government know-it-all either.
I would think a swimmin' hole would be a big draw in that area. As well as longhorn waterin hole, donkey waterin hole, bird waterin hole and someday maybe even a lonely crane may fly in with frog eggs on its feet and start a nice frog population....

I remember how quickly your other, smaller impoundment silted up. This one will, also. They all do. I just hope it's not too soon. Build a big enough impoundment, and it will be years before it's noticeable. And it looks as if you've got a pretty big one there. Not trying to be negative. It's just that natural forces will have their way, eventually. Good luck with the project, and I hope you get some good rain soon to fill it up.

What's the word on the ground, do you have any geo tech. info. to know if it will hold water? Is there any clay in the area, it makes a great liner? The guy building the lake will know. Looks like you may be able to grow corn and mellons after all.

If it doesn't drain into a river (or large creek that eventually drains into a river) you should be ok...this is Texas and if you drive around, the state, you will see 10's of thousands of stock tanks, that use man made damns to hold water for stock... also if the drainage feeds someone else's property that depends on that water for stock, you might have a problem also. I'm not sure if that soil will hold water anyway (not to be negative either, just saying...)

The funny thing is that most people don't realize that most of the beautiful lakes and water holes that you see by the road driving the roads of Texas were dug by the highway department free of charge in exchange for the dirt to help with the building of the highways!

NEW YORK, Nov. 28 (UPI) -- Comedian and actor Kevin Hart is to star in the semi-scripted, faux reality show "Real Husbands of Hollywood," BET Networks said Wednesday.
Co-starring Nick Cannon, Boris Kodjoe, Duane Martin, J.B. Smoove and Robin Thicke, the show is to debut Jan. 15.
"I haven't been this excited about a project of mine in a while, there is nothing like this on television ... the levels of funny that will be reached on this show are endless," Hart said in a statement.
The show will also feature guest appearances by television, film, music and sports stars such as Jay Leno, Ed O'Neill, Shaquille O'Neal, Nelly, Faizon Love, Common, Trey Songz and Cedric the Entertainer.
"We knew after the response to the 'Real Husbands' sketches on the BET Awards that we had something special. Look in the dictionary under the word 'obvious' and you see a picture of us deciding to turn the sketches into a series," said Stephen Hill, BET's president of music programming and specials. "Kevin Hart leads an incredible cast in this show that turns all of the conventions you hate to love in those wives shows on their collective ear. We are so proud to be working with this all-star production team. This is the best funny you'll see on TV this year."

During Vietnam there were thousands of people considered conscientious objectors. The meaning of these two words indicates "an individual who claims a right to refuse military service on the grounds of freedom of opinion or religion." Some countries appointed those persons to perform other civilian services rather than serve in the military. These activities included working within medical facilities as attendants, government agencies such as the National Forestry as firefighters, and at educational institutions.
There are many instances wherein objectors however, relocated to Canada to escape conscription. In some cases amnesty was granted upon their return. There is a law that states all male U.S. citizens between the ages of 18 to 26 register with the Selective Service, however since 1986 no one has been prosecuted for violating this law. This program is "to provide manpower to the military in the event of an emergency". Woman do not have to register but they may enlist voluntarily.
Other conscientious objectors declared their right of refusal to pay income taxes as funds were being used to fund the War. Many tax objectors were brought to trial for filing a fraudulent W-4 forms claiming more exemptions than they were legally entitled. Some were eventually convicted, and motions for appeals were denied and were sentenced to jail. In 1972 legislation was introduced to legalize a form of conscientious objection to military taxation. The basic premise was to allow these "taxpayers" to designate their taxes to be used for non military programs. It was not passed and keeps getting re-introduced even as late as 2010 and currently has 43 supporters in Congress.
It seems tax protesters have been active for many years and each era has its own type that refuse to pay tax. There are two types of peaceful protesters; those who are against the taxation for "illegal" military purposes or the second group that believes the 16th Amendment (Formation of Income Tax) is unconstitutional. They object to the progressive type of tax, the loss of personal income and the imposition of withholding tax. Others have branched out with the theory that the 16th Amendment places an individual in a position of "involuntary servitude" which is not allowed under the 13th Amendment. To continue this battle of the amendments, others believe that filing an income tax return violates the individual's right of the 5th amendment toward self-incrimination and the First Amendment for freedom of speech.
As soon as one of these theories is tested and publicly challenged with tax sentences, another appears on the scene. At one point it was pointed out that churches were not subject to taxation. This caused a flux of "diploma" mills to appear selling a do it your self kit as how to become a "minister". Then by transferring all of your assets and income to the "Church of Tax Free Income" you could beat the system. Unfortunately these schemes get caught up with by the IRS and in many instances these "ministers" wind up preaching in the Big House on the Hill. One tax protester came up with the "no dollar" defense. He stated that income taxes could not be paid by Federal Notes (paper money) as they were not payable by specie (coin, gold or silver) and therefore not legitimate money. Obviously, this argument was short lived and the promoter(s) were promptly and effectively dealt with. So when they all lose their cases in court, their rebuttal is that the law judge is wrong, corrupt or deliberately misinterpreting the law.
Yeah right.

Despite record-breaking temperatures, 11 competitors, most accompanied by family and fans, braved the heat to compete in the Some Like It Hot Salsa Competition at the 2011 Delaware State Fair.

- Meet with an advisor/counselor to select classes and complete the registration process.


text: I am so glad your Dahlia experiment worked. I left mine in the ground one year, and they never resurfaced again. It has taken me about five years to work up my courage to try again. They will be delivered in April. I will plant, hopefully enjoy some beautiful flowers, and then I will take them out of the ground in the fall. 🙂 I guess what I've done numerous times that is against the rules is divide plants when it is 'time' in my book and not necessarily in the plant's book based upon when they bloom. When I see I need to adjust something, I do it. Our gardening season is short so I just keep working along checking things off my to-do-list. 🙂

Up to 44 maps now, because I have brain damage. Here's the list:
Quad Machine - A small single room with some small ledges and corridors around the outside. No rockets or shotguns on this map -- the flamethrower gets a chance to shine here. 2 players / April 2016
Stranglehold - Two small rooms with a high bridge between them. Controlling the bridge is critical for tracking your opponent, but it's not safe. 2 players / January 2013
Bullet Heck - Several small structures offer high ground, but with lots of obstacles there's no single dominant position. Constantly moving and shifting your viewpoint is key. 2 players / January 2015
Fishing Hamlet - Byrgenwerth... Byrgenwerth... Blasphemous murderers... Blood-crazed fiends... Atonement for the wretches... By the wrath of Mother Kos... Mercy for the poor, wizened child... Mercy, oh please... 2-3 players / April 2016
Adrift - A tall central chamber with a high ledge and some other vertically-separated rooms along the periphery. 2-3 players / April 2018
The Dark World - A handful of smaller spaces packed tightly together. Shotguns completely dominate this map. Keep an eye out for the red and yellow canisters in order to stay alive. 2-3 players / January 2015
Ambiguity - Several small rooms arranged in a loop, with many paths overlapping and going up and down. Pursuit is tricky. Keep moving and have a twitchy shotgun finger to win. 2-3 players / January 2015
Bottom of the Well - Straightforward arena map with a couple loops around the outside to duck through. Controlling the 1x canister is important in duels. 2-4 players / January 2016
Gustav Garden - A single wide open room with a few paths and small rooms around the periphery. The yellow canister and invisibility spawn on exposed ledges. 2-4 players / February 2012
Hollow Void - Two big rooms, one much lower than the other. Try to avoid the sewage pit, as you are very vulnerable to aerial rocket attacks. 2-4 players / August 2011
Future Factory - Three rooms arranged in a line. The center room has several valuable high ground positions; the outer rooms are safer, but you'll get fewer kills. 2-4 players / January 2013
Mixological - A very straightforward one-room map with plenty of rockets. The only way to score kills is to be aggressive. 2-4 players / January 2015
Explodatorium - Rockets only. I'm sorry. 0 players / April 2016
Minuet of Forest - Very traditional arena map with a little bit of high ground and plenty of rockets. Use this song to quickly return to the Forest Temple. 3-4 players / January 2016
Dragon's Maw - A central room at low ground with two large rooms at higher ground. A limited number of clear shots and lots of stark elevation shifts means mobility and ambushing from above is very effective. 3-4 players / January 2015
Hedonism II - Four small rooms in a square, with high passages between them. Move swiftly from room to room, but watch out for the Invisibility. 3-4 players / January 2013
Das Jerk - Central room at low ground, with many elevation shifts around the periphery. Ducking away and attacking from above with rockets works well, but don't get caught in the tunnels. 3-4 players / August 2011
Crucible - Large central room with a ring of rooms around the outside. Very flat, heads-up map here; long-range engagements on flat terrain are common, making rockets relatively less effective. 3-5 players / April 2016
Acid Reflex - Fairly traditional arena map. Credit goes to Windbreaker for his Pfhor texture patch. 3-5 players / April 2018
Rocket Rider - A central canyon with several structures on the sides for safety and high ground. This is a great Hill map. 3-5 players / August 2011
Art of Magicka - A basic arena map with a high tower on the north side and elevated ridges along the south and east. The 2x canister spawns in the middle of the map, so rushing out to grab it is risky but rewarding. 3-5 players / July 2015
Living Failure - A single room with a strong vertical element, split in half by a partial wall. Most of this map is open, so taking high ground to track your enemies will help a lot. 3-5 players / January 2016
Furious Bender - One large open room with another smaller room on the side, and several passages and ledges between them. All action revolves around the main room, but don't get caught in the open. 3-5 players / February 2012
Anaphylaxis - Two large rooms separated by a ledge, with a third smaller room on the side. There are lots of blind spots and objects for cover, so keep moving and pursue your enemies. 3-5 players / August 2011
The Shores of Heck - A tall arena on the north side of the map, with a two-story overlapping set of rooms on the south side of the map. 4-5 players / April 2018
Vacation Package - Two yards and some structures arranged so that there's no singular central space. Use the shotguns and keep moving so you don't get caught out. 4-5 players / July 2015
Miracle Mile - A large courtyard on the south side, with three smaller spaces in a line to the north. All traffic flows back to the courtyard. 4-5 players / August 2011
Dissolution - A two-story building, surrounded by open space on three sides. Use the building to escape attackers and find high ground. 4-6 players / July 2015
Twilight Citadel - A central room with a large exterior area wrapping around part of it. Most of the fighting is on flat ground. Switching between SMG, shotguns and rockets will maximize your kills. 4-6 players / January 2015
Crossover Fanfic - Lots of extreme elevation shifts around the large central space. Although there are many escape routes from the center, it's relatively easy to trap enemies in the peripheral corridors with a well-placed rocket. 4-6 players / January 2015
Neolith - A super-tall map based around rocket attacks from above and constant mobility. 4-6 players / April 2018
Meltdown - A traditional arena map, but it's huge. 5-6 players / February 2012
Eclipse of the Sun - Three large rooms arranged in a loop. Although the Hill area is exposed, the other two rooms are dark, allowing you to escape or confuse attackers. The central high ground has the yellow can, making it an extremely dominant position. 5-6 players / January 2015
Prime Directive - An expansive space on the main floor, with a few distinct structures, side spaces, and passages. There is no single central area, so keep moving. 5-6 players / January 2015
Strike the Earth - Three floors overlap each other, with lots of stairs and ledges connecting them together. The central floor has plenty of horizontal space to play with and there are shotguns everywhere. 5-6 players / January 2016
Thwomp's Block - Several different rooms that flow together. There is no central space, and fights can break out anywhere. King of the Hill is pretty good on this map. 5-7 players / August 2011
Infernal Grasp - Fairly tall map. The Hill is on a high elevated platform in the center. Lots of wide open space on the lower floors lead to many hidey-holes on the upper levels, making this map full of twists and turns. 5-7 players / April 2016
Hurting Other People - Four large, exposed rooms with some connecting corridors between them. Long sight lines and minimal cover means long-range weapons are very effective. 5-7 players / April 2015
Morrolan's Legacy - A massive two-story structure with assorted elevated areas around the exterior. The high tower is relatively defensible, but removed from the action. 6-8 players / July 2015
Megalomania - A massive map with several distinct regions connected to a central, low position. High ground provides good platforms to launch attacks from. The Hill is in a low, sheltered position. 6-8 players / August 2011
Tallmap Sequel - A large map with some central pits and an intense vertical component. Aerial attacks and ambushes with rockets are a critical strategy here. Keep looking for higher ground to stage your next attack. 7-8 players / April 2015
Elder Kingdom - A large structure with three large exterior areas around it. There's no central space, so keep moving around to ensure you find more people to fight. 6-8 players / April 2015
Imperial City - A truly huge map with a few different large districts. Most paths flow toward the Hill. A few very high vantage points can let you spy on most of the map, but they're too high up to do much about it. 7-8 players / January 2015
Monument to All Your Sins - A massive two-story map. The top floor is a largely open field with a central tower that connects to the lower floor, which is a series of rooms arranged in a ring. Shotguns rule the upper floor, rockets control the lower. 8 players / April 2016

You can't live with them, you can't live without them. That applies to a lot of things, extension cords included. Okay, so it's not like they're that offensive, but they do make nightstands and shelves and wherever else they can be found look very unsightly. If you're particular about how your home looks and want an alternative to the usual bright orange cord you've got, then here it is: the electroVine.
It gives your home a touch of green, even if it's artificial. It's basically an extension cord dressed up in the guise of vine. It adds to the decor of your home while being completely functional at the same time. What's not to like?
electroVine is currently up for funding on Kickstarter, where a minimum pledge of $40 will get you one of your very own.

For most people, celebrations are fun events. But for parents of food allergic children, or even for food allergic adults, activities involving food can be filled with worry. This is because coming in contact with a food allergen has the potential to cause a very serious allergic reaction.
Allergies are the result of a reaction that starts in the immune system. For instance, if you have an allergy to eggs, your immune system identifies a protein found in eggs as an allergen. Your immune system reacts by producing antibodies called Immunoglobulin E (IgE). These antibodies attach to cells in your skin, lungs and gastrointestinal (GI) tract. If you come in contact with the allergen again, the cells release chemicals including histamine, which cause food allergy symptoms such as itching, hives, swelling, diarrhea, wheezing and a potentially life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis (an-a-fi-LAK-sis). Without immediate treatment—an injection of epinephrine and expert care in a hospital—anaphylaxis can be fatal.
There is a difference between food allergy and food intolerance. A food allergy involves the immune system while food intolerance, such as lactose intolerance, does not. Food intolerance typically involves the GI tract, causing uncomfortable symptoms like abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, but there is no risk of anaphylaxis.
Common Food Allergens
The most common food allergens are the proteins in cow's milk, eggs, peanuts, wheat, soy, fish, shellfish and tree nuts. In some food groups, especially tree nuts and seafood, an allergy to one member of a food family may result in the person being allergic to other members of the same group. This is known as cross-reactivity. Cross-reactivity for other food families is not common.
Most food allergens can cause allergic reactions even after they are cooked or have undergone digestion in the intestines, although research is showing that more than half of children with milk and egg allergies can tolerate extensively heated milk and egg in baked foods. Some allergens (usually fruits and vegetables) cause allergic reactions in people with a pollen allergy but only if eaten in raw form. Symptoms in these cases are usually limited to the mouth and throat.
Most symptoms of food allergy occur within 2 hours at the most, but within the past few years a new type of food allergy has been discovered called alpha gal, with symptoms that may be delayed by 4-8 hours, often awakening the person at night. This allergy is to galactose-alpha, 1,3-galactose, a carbohydrate found on mammalian meat, and is associated with being bitten by the Lone Star tick. People with alpha gal allergy should avoid beef, lamb, pork and venison.
Diagnosing Food Allergies
An allergist / immunologist, often referred to as an allergist, has specialized training and expertise to determine if your symptoms are caused by a food allergy or due to other food-related disorders such as food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) or eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE).
Your allergist will take a thorough medical history, followed by a physical examination. You will be asked about the foods you eat, the frequency, severity and nature of your symptoms, and the amount of time between eating a food and any reaction.
Allergy skin tests may determine which foods, if any, trigger your allergic symptoms. In skin testing, a small amount of extract made from the food is placed on the back or arm. If a raised bump or small hive develops within 20 minutes, it indicates a possible allergy. If it does not develop, the test is negative. It is uncommon for someone with a negative skin test to have an IgE-mediated food allergy.
In certain cases, such as in patients with severe eczema, an allergy skin test cannot be done. Your doctor may recommend an IgE blood test. False positive results may occur with both skin and blood testing. IgG blood testing is not recommended, as it is unproven in diagnosing food allergies. Oral food challenges can confirm the diagnosis and are done by consuming the food in a medical setting to determine if it causes a reaction. Food challenges should not take place at home.
Treating Food Allergies
There is currently no cure for food allergy, but there are many promising treatments under investigation. Avoidance, education and preparedness are the keys to managing food allergy.
While exposure to airborne food allergens (e.g., from cooking vapors) usually does not result in anaphylaxis, it can cause a runny nose and itchy eyes similar to a reaction from coming in contact with pollen. However, eating even a small amount of the food, such as that left on cooking utensils or from a food processing facility, can cause a life-threatening reaction. This is why reading the ingredients on food labels and asking questions about prepared foods are an essential part of avoidance plans.
People with food allergy should always carry auto-injectable epinephrine to be used in the event of an anaphylactic reaction. Symptoms of anaphylaxis may include difficulty breathing, dizziness or loss of consciousness. If you have any of these symptoms in the context of eating, use the epinephrine auto-injector and immediately call 911. Don't wait to see if your symptoms go away or get better on their own.
Outgrowing Food Allergies
Most children outgrow their allergies to cow's milk, egg, soy and wheat, even if they have a history of a severe reaction. However,peanut, tree nut fish and shellfish allergy tends to persist through adulthood. Repeat allergy testing with your allergist can help you learn when you or your child's food allergies are resolving with time.
Healthy Tips
• Always ask about ingredients when eating at restaurants or when you are eating foods prepared by family or friends.
• Carefully read food labels. The United States and many other countries require that major food allergens are to be listed in common language (milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts and soybeans).
• Carry and know how to use auto-injectable epinephrine and antihistamines to treat emergency reactions. Teach family members and other people close to you how to use epinephrine and consider wearing a medical alert bracelet that describes your allergy. If a reaction occurs, have someone take you to the emergency room, even if symptoms subside. Afterwards, get follow-up care from your allergist.
Feel Better. Live Better.
An allergist / immunologist, often referred to as an allergist, is a pediatrician or internist with at least two additional years of specialized training in the diagnosis and treatment of allergies, asthma, immune deficiencies and other immunologic diseases.
By visiting the office of an allergist, you can expect an accurate diagnosis, a treatment plan that works and educational information to help you manage your disease and feel better.

deejjjaaaa, "others" is a very broad term, there is many different levels of "others", but they all are welcome to participate in the project and contribute - either by sharing thoughts on improvement and then actively participating in testing and writing documentation or even coding...
RT has gone through a high rate of expansion in the number of tools, in quality of tools, in workflow enhancements, etc.
huge respect and affection for many involved in RT
How long would one have to wait to get a bug fix or any new feature to be implemented in Lightroom? This is with Adobe's resources.Within RT - in some cases it is literally next day, and usually between 1 to 5 weeks!
I am finding the recent posts in this thread to be quite interesting. About a year ago, I attempted to use Raw Therapee on my Mac, because I had read a number of positive comments from knowledgeable people. To say the least, the experiment did not go well. Leaving aside stability issues,...I would also echo a previous endorsement of RPP. It is simply the best raw convertor out there and it is worth running a Mac simulation mode on Windows just to be able to use it IMO. But RPP is not a comprehensive photo editor, which is what so many people want nowadays.Rob

The main point of my comment was actually completely different. RT is *not* trying to be Lightroom. I find RT as a versatile tool-set that one can use and improve without waiting for the development cycle of Lightroom.It took Lightroom 3 years to go from version 3 to version 4. RT changes are available in real time to those who compile code themselves, and you get to observe project as it is evolving.So when you are comparing RT to Lightroom, it becomes an unfair comparison as RT is still in transition state being further polished to be more accessible to a broader user base.About the highlight reconstruction - it is significantly superior in the version 4+ vs any prior versions. There are 4 methods available, try Color Propagation - the slowest but the most powerful.You need to use highlight reconstruction in combination with Highlight recovery and in some cases (depending on camera model and its color matrix or a DCP profile) raw white point.Some time ago the use of input camera ICC profiles was also made compatible with Highlight Reconstruction via a checkbox in Color Management, where ICC profile is selected -"Blend ICC highlights with matrix".
... Particularly if there's little to no documentation to provide support for users. ...Michael, look at your response here about highlight recovery. Four different ways to approach highlight recovery? "Blend ICC highlights with matrix"? How many non-coder end users are going to know what that means? ...
Thanks, Michael. As I indicated earlier, it looks like a 'by developers, for developers' project. A good bit of that extract would be gobbledygook to a lot of end users, I'd think.

I downloaded the latest version for the Mac for my Mac Mini OS 10.6.8 and the installer acted quirky and when I finally launched the app the interface was messed up. Red 'X's all over the place. It was functional and I could do some editing but it just acted pretty clunky.I'm not putting any more time into this and I'm not interested in troubleshooting it either. Just not worth it.ACR works just fine for me.
It may be technical, but it isn't aimed at software developers ... But rather advanced digital photographers who are well-versed in the processing of RAW data into images.
Did you try the RTMX build I linked to above?kirk
There were challenges in producing the Mac builds due to redesign and optimization of the build process. The official RawTherapee build, including the Mac version, is being planned for December this year.
