This is a well located hotel, with very nice, caring staff. Good cleanliness standards. We enjoyed our stay and found the location very convenient.... Breakfast was excellent - it included full choice of baked goods, hot oatmeal, waffles and just about everything else you could want. The only complaint I have about the room is that the mattress on the sofa bed was stained and worn to the point that I could feel the springs (room 229) The second evening I chose to sleep on the sofa unopened as a result. Other than that, it was indeed a nice place to stay. 2013.03.08에 올려진 Hotels.com 회원님의 이용 후기

2 pounds fresh mussels (see hints below)
1 large clove garlic, minced2-3 Tbs room temperature butter10-12 1/2-inch thick slices French bread
1 medium onion, thinly chopped2 Tbs butter
1Tbs fresh chopped thyme1/3 - 1/2 cup sundried tomato strips (see hints below)3/4 - 1 cup dry white wine1/3 - 1/2 cup heavy cream
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Mince a large clove of garlic, add that to a small bowl and add 2 - 3 Tbs room temperature butter to that and mix it up.
Spread the butter over the top of 10 - 12 sliced pieces of French bread on a baking tray and pop the tray into the preheated oven.
While you're keeping your eye on the bread, peel and thinly chop one medium onion. Add 2 Tbs butter to a heavy bottomed pan that is large enough to eventually hold the mussels and add the onion to that and saute it to caramelize a bit.
While you're cooking the onions along on medium heat, rinse the mussels under cold water, drain them and discard any mussels that are open and remain open.
Once the onions have browned up a little bit, add about 1 Tbs fresh chopped thyme and 1/3 - 1/2 cup sundried tomato strips, add 3/4 - 1 cup dry white wine and 1/3 - 1/2 cup heavy cream and bring it up to a boil.
At that point add the mussels, give the pan a shake and put a lid on top to steam the mussels open.
The mussels won't take any more than 4 - 5 minutes to steam open and then you'll want to turn the heat off and leave the lid on top. Take the croutons out of the oven when they're golden brown and it's time to eat.
If there are any mussels that don't steam open when the rest have, discard the closed ones before serving.
Rope cultured mussels are a lot less sandy than wild mussels. But, either way, the mussels should be rinsed and or scrubbed under cold water and any "beards" that are attached to the shells should be removed before cooking.
Try to use olive oil cured sundried tomatoes for this, otherwise reconstitute the sundried tomatoes in a little warm water before using.

Contec - Novel contacting technology
Two moveable half-shells keep the contact surfaces and the contact forces between the contacting system and the welding wire exactly in the defined target range. The contact tip abrades uniformly, thereby minimising the adverse, hard-to-calculate consequences of uneven wear upon the process. The result is constant and unfluctuating contacting, extremely high process stability and a lower probability of failure due to contactingfaults. With its versatile contact shells, Contec is suitable for all diameters and materials of wire.
The cast of the wire leads to disturbance variables in the contact tip such as abrasion, and the tendency for abraded particles to burn onto the tube. The contacting points change, resulting in faulty welds and higher outage costs. In contrast to this, the versatile half-shells in the Contec system keep the contacting points constant even when subject to increasing wear. The probability of failure is signifi cantly lower.
Controlled process conditions are a key requirement if high quality, reproducible weld joints are to be achieved. However, the friction of the moving wire in MIG/MAG welding causes wear in the contact tube. The results are Changes in the size and position of the contact surface. Consequently, influences arise which have a detrimental effect on the welding parameters. The innovative "Contec" contact tube combats the resulting wear and its adverse effects on the process to a significant extent. In automated processes in particular, the user benefits from improved process stability and plant availability.
The experts at Fronius have designed the contact tube in such a way that the surface that the wire comes into contact with is as large as possible, yet as small as necessary. This achieves on the one hand a stable current transfer, but on the other hand it prevents the wire melting too soon due to friction caused by heat.
The contact is made by two elements in the form of conical half shells. The welding current flows through them in two paths into the wire electrode. The adjustable force of a spring pushes the two shells together and onto the wire passing between them. During welding, the tube system material is only subjected to wear in the ring-shaped contact areas at the front of the half shells. This results in a number of benefits for the user, in particular greater process reliability and extended availability in comparison with conventional contact tubes. This means consistently lower reject rates and helps save resources. Contec contact tubes have a service life up to seven times as long as their conventional rivals, while using only a fifth of the material used by conventional nozzles.
As the contact force is not dependent on the wire conditions when using Contec, it can be controlled relatively accurately, which minimises friction. Particles rubbed off the surface are carried out of the tube by the wire-feed unit, thus preventing "stub-in" and the associated obligatory down-times. The system operator can monitor the condition of the contact tube at a glance and get ready to replace it during an ongoing welding task. Contec is designed for all conventional wire diameters in standard steel and aluminum materials.

We are a worldwide social network of freethinkers, atheists, agnostics and secular humanists.
Ronald A. Lindsay, the president and CEO of the Center for Inquiry, a lawyer and philosopher, whom I really respect, wrote an article at the CFI website asking the freethinking community to voluntarily drop the use of the term "balls" (or "cojones", etc.) to signify "courage". He is not offended by the "vulgarity" of the term at all, but rather suggesting that its usage somehow perpetuates the erroneous concept that men are more courageous than women (after all, we call cowardly people "pussies"). What do you think? Is he exaggerating or is that a good idea? I myself use the term quite frequently, thinking it mostly lost its gender-specific connotation, and that one can say that a woman has "balls", too. But I think he has a point. What do you think?
Read his article below:
Many people, including many skeptics, atheists, and humanists, use the term "balls" or its myriad equivalents as a metaphor for courage, determination, resolve or similar attributes. I suggest we should stop using such terms, for a pretty obvious reason: one doesn't need testicles to be courageous, determined, or resolute.
There has been a fair amount of discussion in the secular/skeptical blogosphere recently about sexism and sexual harassment. However, maybe I missed it, but I have not seen much discussion about the common use of slang based on male or female anatomy, perhaps because it's ubiquitous or it's felt not much can be done about it. Whatever the reason, I think use of these terms merits some discussion, in particular, the common use of "balls."
Before I go any further, let me hasten to make clear that I'm not asking people to stop using "balls" as a substitute for "courage" because of some prissiness about language. Profanity and slang don't bother me. I worked as a lawyer for over twenty years. In conversations with my colleagues, every other word was "fuck" or one of its derivatives—and that's just when we were talking about the weather.
Nor am I suggesting that there be some sort of censorship by secular or skeptical organizations. We're not going to throw someone out of a conference just because they lace their conversation with references to "balls," "nuts," "cojones," etc.
But I do think that people who pride themselves on evidence-based reasoning should refrain from the all-too-common use of "balls" as a substitute for "courage" and related terms, as in the sentence, "He doesn't have the balls to tell Dawkins he's wrong." Testosterone is associated with certain behaviors and traits, including aggression (not necessarily a bad thing, by the way), but there is no association with courage, determination, or resolve. Use of "balls" when "courage" will do perpetuates the stereotype that men have more courage or determination than women.
One might argue that "balls" is used so often that it's lost its gender-specific connotations. I don't buy that argument—and isn't that argument similar to what we hear, and reject, from the religious fundies? "Oh, the word 'God' in the Pledge of Allegiance has lost any religious significance" or "the cross has become a secular symbol." We don't think religious terms lose their significance just because they're repeated frequently; why should we think slang loses its gender reference just because it's repeated frequently?
Language is powerful. Language not only expresses our thoughts, it shapes them. "Balls" is in common use, and that's precisely part of the problem. It's embedded so much in our language that we don't notice it, but that simply means our sexism is burrowed in deep.
Am I exaggerating the effects of using "balls" and similar gender-specific slang? I don't think so. Quick: what do you call someone who has no balls, who is a weak-willed individual? Why, a "pussy" of course.
It's difficult to break language habits, but not impossible. In a couple of decades, most people stopped using "mankind" when they really meant "humanity," and I think one can stop using "balls" as a substitute for courage, determination, or resolve with just a bit of effort. (If one feels the need for an anatomy-based metaphor, "backbone" does quite nicely.) Plus, once one drops the sexist slang one will have the immense satisfaction that comes with the realization that one has finally graduated 8th grade.

Nope, because of the origins of the work. When white kids in my neighborhood call each other the "n" word, it doesn't make it right.
I never heard "crust", is this local Midwest usage? I like the sound of it, though. I just never heard it. Now, it may sound funny to tell someone to go "grow some crust" :-)
Ah! Makes sense. Some of us were born with crust, though :-)
Is "cur" a mongrel dog? Not used in American English, I think.
Yes! The Wiktionary has it as an archaic English word. Though you hear it in Auss from time to time and more so from the older generations.
I'm asking this committee where does Douchebag stand?
Hmm...That's a very tough one, especially since the "douche" phenomenon makes sense only I America; women in other parts of the world do not use douches. Perhaps not in America anymore. It's unhealthy, and unsanitary, doctors advice against it.
But it's such a good word, though.
Jason Thibeault has a great rationale for continuing to use "douchebag":
With "douchebag" where appropriate — e.g. people harming women while thinking they're helping.
I've never heard the word crust or cur but I agree that quite a few bad language often used words like balls or pussies are totally derogatory towards women and in my opinion should be avoided and backbone sounds so much better as well as weak....
Pussy could also be referring to your everyday moggy that sits on your lap.
I once heard this said regarding a Marine Corps fighter pilot: "His balls were solid brass, and he had to put them in the cockpit one at a time."

Usha's Slow Cooker Dal Makhani
I bought a slow cooker/crockpot years ago when I used to eat meat, tempted by all those promises of perfectly tender stews that cooked up by themselves while you slept or went to work. I probably used it a half a dozen times and then, once I turned vegan, it went right into the kitchen graveyard along with my poultry roaster, turkey baster and tenderizing mallet.
Then recently, browsing through Usha's blog, I saw her recipe for Dal Makhani made in a crockpot. I had been looking for a recipe to send to Nupur's Blog Bites: Cookers event, and I love Dal Makhani which I usually just make on the stove top, so everything seemed to be just fortuitously coming together.
I've never used my crockpot for cooking beans, partly because most recipes I saw require you to boil the beans and lentils beforehand which -- I think-- pretty much defeats the purpose of one-pot cooking. But in her recipe, Usha just asks you to soak the beans and lentils for about eight hours, which sounded doable. (You do need to saute the onions and tomatoes and spices separately before adding them to the lentils in the crockpot).
I made just a couple of changes to Usha's recipe. For one, I added a handful of kasoori methi leaves to the makhani halfway through the cooking, at the stage where she recommends adding salt.
And of course, since mine is a dairy-free kitchen, I finished the dish with a tablespoon of vegan butter or margarine (I use Earth Balance), which gave it a creamy flourish that was just perfect.
The makhani was rich and flavorful, and the slow cooking really enhanced the richness of the lentils and the spices while also allowing them to meld smoothly with each other. Wonderful.
Thanks, Usha, for a delicious recipe. And thanks, Nupur, for your motivating event!
Since it's St. Patty's Day tomorrow, I couldn't help but repost a link to my totally vegan, totally delicious whole-wheat Irish soda bread. Enjoy it with a pat of vegan margarine or by itself.
Enjoy, all!

I attempted this recipe (somewhat) unsuccessfully. It tasted pretty good considering I used the terrible tomatoes that we get here in Edmonton during the winter, however, the dal didn't cook right. Rather than softening, breakening down and thickening the dal, the lentils remained intact, almost dry in texture, and seperate from the water/"gravy" rather than incorporated into it like dal should be. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I even left it going an extra hour and a half with no improvement.
ReplyDelete Liam, Here are a couple of thoughts:
Did you soak the dal and beans long enough?
Also, did you wait until you were at least halfway through the cooking to add salt, because salt does disrupt the cooking of lentils.
Other than that, I cannot imagine what may have happened-- it is true that the dal will not break down and become as mushy in the slow cooker as it does in a pressure cooker or even on the stove top, but it does cook up really tender.- Liam9:43 AM
I soaked the lentils overnight (I think about 12 hours) and actually did not end up adding any salt. Maybe I'll just stick to stovetop then. Thanks!
p.s. I'm in love with your soda bread! I used to make it all the time with butter and buttermilk before I went vegan - I've made yours a couple times since, and it's pretty darn close to the real thing! Love the idea of slow cooker Indian!! I just discovered Anupy Singla's "The Indian Slow Cooker" book which is mostly vegan or easily vegan adaptable and they are SIMPLE! She uses dried beans, unsoaked and most of the recipes you dump everything in at once and push the button. A couple have you cook the mustard seeds, etc…on the stove at the end but SO EASY!!
I have some of my totally NOVICE experience with slow cooker and Indian food written about at http://www.getskinnygovegan.blogspot.com
But you might LOVE this book!! I stumbled upon it upon accident because I only look in the vegan book sections.- Samarpita11:18 PM
Came to check for a recipe of dal makhni since i remembered vaguely that I have seen one. one word of HUGE Caution. Do not cook rajma in a slow cooker. Quoted from wiki
"Raw kidney beans, and to a lesser extent some other beans (such as broad/fava beans), contain the toxin phytohaemagglutinin, which is destroyed by boiling for at least ten minutes, but not by the lower temperatures of a slow cooker, so dry beans must be boiled prior to slow cooking to avoid poisoning. Even a few beans can be toxic, and beans can be as much as five times more toxic if cooked at 175 °F (80 °C) than if eaten raw, so adequate pre-boiling is vital. Cases of poisoning by slow-cooked beans have been published in the UK; poisoning has occurred in the USA but has not been formally reported. This risk can be avoided entirely by using canned cooked beans, adding them towards the end of the recipe's cooking time"

Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter knows what he is talking about when he describes the first meal of the day for millions of America's children – a grape soda and a bag of chips. It is the sad reality that is also the focus of the new HBO special Weight of the Nation which was screened on Tuesday May 15 at Prince George's Community College before an audience of adults and young people concerned about the obesity epidemic in America. In Prince George's County 34 percent of the population is considered obese, up from 32 percent a year ago. Prince George's health officials acknowledge that the number is going in the wrong direction and that more needs to be done to increase physical activity and other initiatives currently being developed by the Prince George's County Healthcare Coalition. A broad-based community awareness campaign is needed to overcome a wide-range of variables that contribute to obesity including impact of fast food restaurants that make up 71 percent of all food establishments in the county. The high incidence of obesity in this country begs the question of who is responsible for fixing it. We suggest everyone is – government, schools, elected officials, the medical community retail food stores, individuals and parents – it's everyone's role to take control of their weight and get healthy.

treegod wrote:Favourite quote on science:
"I am an old-fashioned scientist...
Hi Treegod,
I do not think that your are so old-fashioned.
We all have to follow the wheel of history: In the beginning 20th century - and the few decades before - science changed the world and its thinking. Many of its results were undoubtedfully of benefit for the world, a few were atrocious (like the atomic bomb). In fact, we would still live on trees without science.
However, at its heymay science denied that there can anything exist like the scientific experiment to explain the world. That was wrong as we know today. Look how psychology developed throughout the last century: From Taylorism (to make work more effective by watching and reducing the worker's motions) over behaviourism (if you give an incentive the worker will become better) to the new idea of feeling self-controlled.
We should admit nowadays that people like science if it is about to solve a special (or technical) problem. Howeve,r we began to acknowledge that there is more than mathematical truth. People are thinking beings - and thinking is not always logical. It contains dreams, aspirations and fears. A nice example is the development of medicine. Doctors tend to have a holistic view rather than just seeing the technical parts.
In my opinion: That is the right approach to science! A pure scientist who is unable to cope with the fears of "normal" people is a poor scientist.

Snap Poll: Democrat and Republican Officials Respond to Romney's VP Pick
On Saturday, Patch polled several prominent local Republicans and Democrats about their thoughts on Mitt Romney's selection of Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan for vice president.
A strong majority of Democrats think both Virginia Democrats and President Barack Obama can win their elections in November largely by running against Rep. Paul Ryan's budget plans and his proposals for Medicare, according to a weekend Northern Virginia Patch "snap poll."
On Saturday morning, Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, announced he had chosen Ryan as his running mate, passing over Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and others presumed to be on the short list. Romney made the announcement in Norfolk and spent the day on a bus tour of Virginia, ending with a campaign event in Manassas.
After the announcement, Patch sent surveys to more than 75 key Republicans and Democrats, including elected officials, state and local party leaders, bloggers and politically influential people across Northern Virginia who agreed to anonymously give their opinions in a series of surveys between now and November. More than 10 Democrats responded, but only three Republicans responded to Patch's survey.
Our surveys are not a scientific random sample of any larger population, but rather an effort to listen to a swath of influential local political activists, party leaders and elected officials in Northern Virginia.
Would McDonnell have been a better choice?
More than 90 percent of Democrats who responded to the poll also said Gov. Bob McDonnell would not have been a better choice for Mitt Romney's running mate. However, Republicans who responded to the survey agreed McDonnell also would have been a good pick for Romney.
One Republican wrote in his survey response, "I think Gov. McDonnell also would have been a good pick. But Ryan is better known throughout the country, better vetted in dealing with the media, and will be better at defending his budget, which was going to be a hot topic in any case."
Senior Citizens in Play
A majority of surveyed Democrats also strongly agreed with the statement, "Mitt Romney's decision to choose Paul Ryan as his VP candidate will help the Obama-Biden campaign win the votes of senior citizens in Virginia."
Northern Virginia Democrats indicated the Ryan selection may push some on the fence seniors toward Obama. "Ryan's budget plan should terrify anyone dependent upon Medicare or Social Security," one Democrat who responded to the survey wrote.
A Republican who responded to the survey wrote, "His call for reduction of [Social Security] might not help with the age 50-plus voters who depend on it." But Ryan as a potential vice president "will help bring in more conservative voters that are concerned with Romney as a moderate."
In the 2008 election, senior citizens favored John McCain over Obama by 53 percent to 45 percent nationwide. According to the 2010 census, 12.2 percent of Virginians are senior citizens (age 65 or older).
Republicans: Ryan Pick Energizes the Ticket
Republicans who responded to Patch's survey said picking Ryan is a positive development.
One Republican who responded wrote that adding Ryan to the ticket was "a bold pick" and this makes Romney and Ryan "the true hope and change team."
Another Republican wrote, "[Ryan] is the leading budget hawk in Congress and understand the debt situation our country faces and has a plan to solve it."
Democrats: Romney Campaign Makes a Right Turn
In anonymous written responses to Patch's questions, several Democrat respondents noted Romney's choice of Ryan effectively pulls the ticket to the right, highlighting and clarifying the differences between the two candidates. Romney's pick may also pull in more tea party supporters, who many pollsters noted have only been lukewarm about the Romney ticket before this weekend, one respondent surmised.
This "makes the conservatives more likely to support Romney," one survey respondent said in his survey comments. Another respondent wrote, "Ryan is far right of far right."
Another Democrat wrote Ryan is "young, charismatic [and] substantive ... even if I don't agree with his substance."
However, one respondent noted the Ryan pick could actually hurt Romney with some voters: "Ryan's radical, survival of the fittest views on the economy, Medicare and Social Security will hurt Romney with moderate Republicans and independents."

About Red and Blue NoVa Surveys
Patch will be conducting Red NoVa and Blue NoVa surveys throughout 2012, asking both Republicans and Democrats about their thoughts and feelings on local, state and national elections and issues.
All of these individuals have agreed to participate in the surveys, although not all of those (listed below) who received surveys responded to Saturday's questions.
If you are interested in participating in future surveys, which should take just a few minutes to complete, please email Senior Regional Editor Beth Lawton at email@example.com or Local Editor William Callahan at email@example.com.
The following individuals have agreed to take Red NoVa or Blue NoVa polls from Patch, though not all who have agreed to take polls responded to this survey taken Aug. 11–12, 2012. Participants are listed in no particular order: John Cook, Michael Kane, Mark Gibson, Chris Perkins, Bryce Thorpe, Garrett Jones, Scott Cooper, Ken Plum, Janet Howell, John Farrell, Mac Cannon, Cathy Hudgins, Richard Anderson, James Phelps, Mike May, Martin Nohe, Frank Principi, Scott Surovell, Jeff McKay, Jack Dobbyn, Mark Cannady, Tom Rust, Bettina Lawton, Bob Haley, Rachel Rifkind, George Burke, Mark Itzkoff, Frank Anderson, Susan Valentine, H.

Let's look at behavior and actions, which are the real truth behind any rhetoric.
The announcement of Ryan as Romneys' VP was made at 9am on a Saturday, a real slow news day and time when few people are paying any attention to news that is not sports or leisure related. Figure it out, Romney does not want this story too much at the forefront, why? Well ask yourself. It's obvious, this choice does not help him on a broad public vote gaining basis.
Don Joy
8:27 am on Monday, August 13, 2012
That makes sense. Besides, those evil republicans are just shrewd and crafty enough that they can probably keep the identity of Romney's Veep pick a secret until even long after Nov. 6th.

Meanwhile, ask the typical Obama supporter on the street who our current vice president is, and they will most often either stammer around a bit before admitting that they don't know, or they'll finally blurt out a wild guess such as Don Rumsfeld or whoever.
Joe Bowman
12:41 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
I don't understand that reasoning. The buildup to the VP pick was huge in the media and Romney's campaign. Heck, the campaign built a mobile app people could install so they could get notified on who was chosen immediately. Not matter what time it was announced it was going to be a huge story, as proven by the fact it's the top headline on most news sites today (and has been all weekend).

I don't think you can really say that about Saturdays anymore for news - with the 24 hour news cycle, and so many people getting their news online through a variety of sources, you're just as likely to find people checking the news as any other day. And as someone else mentioned, it managed to headline for three days this way. Unlikely that would have happened with a Monday release.

Ryan is a good choice. He has been in Washington for 14 years. He knows some of the ins and outs. Any logical thinking person young or old knows the budget he proposed is only a starting point. You all just want to scare the pants off us older people. Any person can see all the cuts Obama has made to Medicare now. Ask your Drs. Unreal. As much as I like our Gov I don't think he would have a big enough pull for the whole country. Please not four more years,

The republicans have completely neutralized the tea party by taking in the most outspoken, action-oriented and progressive member of congress. This is the end of the tea party and so anyone that has banked on reducing the national debt and bringing change to Washington DC has no representation now. This is not so different from the Perot campaign run a few years earlier which led us to one of the most successful presidencies in American history: Bill Clinton. Obama will be able to do the same, now that he understands whats at stake.

"More than 10 Democrats responded, but only three Republicans responded to Patch's survey."
Even if it was "More than 10 Republicans responded, but only three Democrats responded to Patch's survey," I would not use these results in any sort of write up indicating poll results, especially using "Snap Poll" in the title.
I find the whole thing misleading and a prematurely published story.
Anthony Fasolo
4:47 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
I am not sure how you can jump to the conclusion that The Patch is slanted toward Democrats. As I understand it the survey was sent to Democrats who responded and also sent to Repulicans, who refused to respond,so how does that make The Patch "Democrat Leaning?

I INTEND TO VOTE REPUBLICAN ACROSS THE BOARD. Many of you have probably seen many of my posts, so harshly critical of the Republican Party and their imbecilic representatives like Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, but when I compare ridiculous people like this to the dishonesty of the N. Va. Democratic party (i.e. Hudgins) and their dedication to the billionaire elites in the development industry, it's quite clear the Democrats do not deserve ANYTHING.
The Republican Party represents the billionaire elites, but at least they don't pretend that they're working "by the people and for the people" when in fact people like Hudgins are clearly ignoring us and representing ONLY the elites.
I would recommend that everyone in Reston that doesn't like the way that this area is being turned over to developers to vote Republican - at least you'll know what you're dealing with.
4:30 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
I agree with BSD right up to the part about voting for Republicans. I'm not sure taking a stronger dose of poison than the one I'm already taking will help me (or America).
...but he's right: The elected Democrats in this area at every level of government make most used car salesmen look like saints. (I exclude CarMax, of course, where the sales staff are saints!)

The proposed Romney tax cuts for high income earners and capital gains investors can only be paid for one way -- massive cuts to Social Security, Medicare, student loans, defense, infrastructure (including our roads and Metro) and programs that benefit the poor. It's totally ok to be in favor of these types of tradeoffs in favor of fiscal conservatism, but let's be (in the words of Rep. Ryan) intellectually honest -- and tell the voters of Florida, Ohio, Virginia and North Carolina exactly where the cuts are coming.
Don Joy
1:01 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
Your first mistake is in thinking that any of those programs are sustainable at current rates of increase even if we confiscated every single penny from every single person across the land. Your second mistake is thinking that tax cuts result in less revenue--in fact, every time capital gains rates have been cut, the result has been MORE revenues tumbling in, not less. Your third mistake is thinking that Romney and/or Ryan are proposing cuts in anything--they aren't. Reducing the rate of increase in a program is not a cut! That's all they are proposing--reducing the galloping rates of increase of these runaway entitlement disasters.

Don Joy has hit the nail on the head in all posts. And I was totally laughing at the "dim bulbs" comment. Finally, much as I love Whitney, her political ties are obvious. Just looking at the photos from the 4th of July parade, which showed only democrats, made the political leanings of the FFX City Patch evident.
Don Joy
2:27 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
Thanks, Fairfax Resident. Every single Patch editor I've encountered on these boards is a female democrat, according to their profiles. These are the same people who are always insisting there be 'diversity' everywhere...

Social Security is already in deep, deep trouble! It can't get any worse. I'll take an idea, plan, or even a thought from the current administration - but so far, I haven't heard one. Time for some new leadership. I don't have a political alliance and vote on issues and ideas - so far, it's been radio silence and rampant spending from the current "leaders" in Capital and White House. Oh – and I'm sure given the choice, Paul Ryan would rather that his dad still be alive. I know I would….

I think Patch is doing a great disservice by placing party affiliation ahead of issues. There is a significant chunk of the electorate that either supports another party or that thinks for themselves (thus the term "independent"). Using the very partisan list you show here further highlights an us/them bloc and ignores a segment of your readership.

How could anyone trust Romney-Ryan to lead the country since they both like to distort and lie so much?
For instance, look how much Paul Ryan avoids the truth....
According to a recent analysis by Politifact, a nonpartisan watchdog and Pulitzer Prize winner, Ryan rarely gives true information in his public comments. Politifact reviewed 14 statements that Ryan has publicly made over recent months and found that of those statements:
Four were "mostly false."
Four were "half true."
Two were "pants on fire" (equal to incredibly false)
Two were "true."
Two were "mostly true"
In total, that means 10 statements were inaccurate, and 4 were true or mostly true. In other words, he was accurate 28 percent or less than one-third of the time.

What fact checker sites do you feel are non-partisan?
Don Joy

Cathryn, I don't believe there are any that aren't biased to some extent. RealClearPolitics.com, while not a "fact checking" site, is a fairly good mainstream clearinghouse because it presents input from all sides. But the so-called "fact checker" sites are dubious if only because they purport to be free of bias, which honest people should acknowledge is virtually impossible when it comes to human beings.

Anyone who does not agree with Patch's liberal agenda gets beat up big time.
Carol Lewis
8:23 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
I think that's quite unfair. Patch poses questions, citizens on both sides answer them. Seems to me that the conservatives do quit a bit of beating up as well. It's a shame we can't present and discuss our views without name calling.
Don Joy
8:28 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
Patch editors are all democrats, as far as I can tell. That is the norm in 85% of the media. *sigh*
Don Joy
8:31 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
...the same people, ironically, that are always croaking homilies about how "diversity" is so beneficial and necessary, etc. I will pay $50 to anyone who can find me a Patch editor who is a heterosexual male republican.
Karen Goff
8:53 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
Don Joy - I can find you several "heterosexual male Republicans" working here as we have people of all types and Patch is not a politically biased organization. Do I get 50 bucks for each one? If so, thanks!
Carol Lewis
9:10 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
Don, it doesn't matter what the political persuasions of the editors are. They present a story or pose a question and we answer, and the answers reflect the views of the citizenry, not the editors. You seem to "live" on Patch solely for the sake of hurling epithets at those who don't agree with you. Karen's right, stick to the topic and do so without such vitriol.
Don Joy
9:19 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
Karen, show me one who is an editor and I will gladly hand over the $50.
Don Joy
9:24 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
Carol, I post mainly facts, with colorful commentary. I have a job that involves a lot of waiting. Seems to me like you are just irritated that someone successfully rebuts the prevailing leftist viewpoint on this forum. It's forum, I suggest you tolerate different viewpoints.
Leslie Perales Loges
10:12 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
Don, I think you're right that most people who work in media are Democrats. As a journalist, I hear the media referred to as liberal every day—but in order for that to change more republicans (or independents for that matter) would need to become journalists. It doesn't seem to be a career that attracts many, and that could be because they believe it's not the place for them and it's a place for liberals. It almost seems (and I know I'm not explaining it all that well here) like a self fulfilling prophecy.
I also don't think it's possible to have a completely unbiased media, though I try my best to be unbiased. Earlier this week I posted a video on Herndon Patch's Facebook page from the Mitt Romney campaign because it features a prominent Herndon businessman. My thought process was, "Hey, it's Danny Vargas! He's featured in a presidential campaign. This is news to locals! I'm posting it." Then I got flak from Dems for posting the video. I didn't post it because of political motivations. I posted it simply because it's newsworthy that it featured someone local. Bottom line: as a journalist you really can't win. My job is to deliver information and that's what I try to do. (As a side note, I consider myself moderate.)
Anyway—back to the discussion. Onward with the colorful commentary!
Don Joy
10:12 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
I enjoy the discussion too, James. I also took a lot of media/journalism courses in college, as well as have briefly been a member of small-scale media organizations at various times earlier in my life. Still waiting to see if anyone can show me a Patch editor (you're not a Patch editor) who is a white male heterosexual republican. I pretty much agree with everything you said, but it doesn't negate what I have said. Patch does do a pretty good job of not being a blatantly leftist site, but that doesn't alter the fact that it is basically a democrat-run and detectably democrat-flavored operation.
10:24 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
I work at a company that is in the patch "family." While I work in IT, I took many media studies classes in college, so I am pretty adept at spotting bias and irresponsible reporting. Patch is locally focused and decentralized compared to other news organizations, but I do understand the additional stories on politics since we reside in a swing state and it is an election year.
Overall, I just don't see a bias coming from patch, as I would from other websites out there. I am a male who is a center-right leaning independent, who is voting for R&R in November (stating that for Don's info request). If patch was as biased as some of the claims here, I would not frequent it. But reality is I am on it a lot because I find the information meaningful and well presented.
Don Joy
10:42 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
James and Leslie, I appreciate your comments. My attitude regarding the orientation of Patch probably started when it became apparent that an editor was coming onto a thread and admonishing participants to "behave" really only when those on the right were pushing back against the leftist trend of the comments. Then, over time, I noticed that the editors of the various Patch editions/localities were overwhelmingly female liberal democrats, as indicated in their profiles. So I felt it appropriate to make certain observations.
As far as the extreme over-representation (stranglehold is a better characterization) maintained by democrats over the major media industry overall, it's more than just a self-fulfilling manifestation of attitudes, beliefs, and propensities involved in the pursuit of a journalism career; it is actually a deliberate and calculated result of those who do the recruiting, hiring, and promotion. I see that Jayson Blair seems to be enjoying an apparently brisk and successful career now as a "life coach" here in the D.C. area...I do wonder how many of his clients even know why he should be a household name among those reading this text.
Carol Lewis
10:45 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
Don, you don't know me and you've never successfully rebutted my opinions. You are the last person on patch that I would say is tolerant of other views. I don't find your commentary colorful; I find it insulting and nasty. And BTW, there are homosexual white republican males. Have a nice day.
Don Joy
10:57 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
Carol, you seem to have missed the point about the absurdity of "diversity" agendas, but have a nice day anyway.
Carol Lewis
12:14 pm on Friday, August 24, 2012
Don, I didn't miss your point, I just don't agree with it. I happen to believe diversity is a good thing, but often difficult for some (not all!) white straight Christian males to understand, having rarely experiences discrimination.
Don Joy
12:22 pm on Friday, August 24, 2012
Carol, you completely missed my point...not to mention that you have not a single clue what it's like to be a member of the demographic which is targeted specifically for deliberate and systematic discrimination in virtually all environments of society--especially here in the federal dystopia of Washington, D.C(while simultaneously the absurdly Orwellian official policy purports that discrimination of any kind is forbidden).
Carol Lewis
12:41 pm on Friday, August 24, 2012
Don, you confuse disagreement with missing your point. I understand what you're saying and I don't think it is true. White males have had a good ole boy network in society and in the workplace for years. Again, I get your point and I've heard it all before and I don't agree.
Don Joy
12:46 pm on Friday, August 24, 2012
Carol, the fact that you thought it relevant to bring up that there are homosexual white male republicans shows that you didn't even get what I was saying. You missed the point completely. You still don't get it.
Anthony Fasolo
8:43 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
I really do enjoy reading the comments made by all. I only wish that we could all stick to the facts/issues and not call each other names or say things like the Patch is controlled by Democrats because we may not agree with the results of a poll that is put in there by the Patch(e.g. such as a poll where moslty Dems answered-and many Republicans did not--Patch clearly explained what was done and who decided to respond and who did not.
Don Joy
8:47 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
Valid points have been made further up the thread about how the poll was presented. The discussion of the editorial makeup and bias of Patch is directly relevant.
Don Joy
8:51 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
One Patch editor even changed her profile information to omit where she had previously included that she is a democrat, after I pointed it out to others on another article discussion thread a couple of months ago.
Karen Goff
9:00 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
Don Joy - Please stick to the topic - was Ryan a good VP pick and the results of Patch's polls (in which we questioned both Democrats and Republicans). This is not the place to repeatedly make accusations about your perceived Patch editorial bias, which I can assure you is 100 percent wrong.
Don Joy
9:41 am on Friday, August 24, 2012
To support my rationale for the way I've particpated here, I'm re-posting Mike's remarks from further up:
'"More than 10 Democrats responded, but only three Republicans responded to Patch's survey."
'Even if it was "More than 10 Republicans responded, but only three Democrats responded to Patch's survey," I would not use these results in any sort of write up indicating poll results, especially using "Snap Poll" in the title.
'I find the whole thing misleading and a prematurely published story.'
Karen Goff
12:06 pm on Friday, August 24, 2012
Don Joy - I find reprehensible that you now only want to know Patch editor's political views but their sexuality as well. While I could give you the exact info you are looking for, I will not. Because I am busy WORKING as a Patch editor.
So...here is some homework for you, since you clearly have time to belabor this point. Go to http://patch.com. That will take you to the list of ALL 864 Patch sites nationwide.
Click on the profile of the editor. take a look at their bios, where we are quite upfront with our political views, if any. You should be able to discern who is black or white, male or female on your own, can't you? As far as sexuality, perhaps you can ask them yourself? Go for it! Let me know how that works out for you.
Then, when you are done getting the info you need, instead of paying me, you can send equal checks to the DNC and RNC.
I am going to respectfully ask you again to stick to the topic.
Beth Lawton
1:22 pm on Friday, August 24, 2012
Hi all,
We've gotten a few requests to shut down this comment thread due to various unpleasantries. Thanks for the conversation! I'm sure part of this debate will pick up with our coverage of the Republican National Convention next week.

New Jersey: 'We're not sure. At this point, we're looking at a lot of changes.' The biggest challenge for election officials in the Garden State are logistical: power outages, blocked roads and flooding, according to Dennis Kobitz, president of the New Jersey Association of Election Officials.
Election officials have been in touch on conference calls since the storm hit on Monday. On a call on Tuesday, election officials from Essex, Bergen and Union counties said electrical outages were the chief concern; in Ocean, Mercer and Monmouth counties, officials said their biggest obstacle was flooding.
Calls to election officials in these counties were not immediately returned.
Kobitz has had to scale back the number of polling locations in Union County because of power outages and access problems to some of the 190 polling locations.
"We would like to keep one to two polling places in each town," Kobitz said, because he doesn't like to force voters to travel long distances.
Delivering electronic voting machines from the county's warehouse to polling stations is also presenting a problem.
"Our biggest problem at this point is getting the machines to the polling places. Nobody's there to accept the machines," Kobitz said, noting that many of the them are locked and without power.
"Do I leave [the polling machines at the polling stations]?" Kobitz asked, frustrated with the unknown. "How do I take a chance that the schools will have power?"
"I can't just deliver 433 machines -- there's no way to do that in one day," he said.
Newark Mayor Cory Booker said he was confident that New Jersey residents would be able to cast ballots next week.

Tell Rahm Emanuel: No Coke Ads on Residential Recycling Bins
If we don't act now, the steady erosion of ad-free personal space and the escalation of unavoidable marketing will get a lot worse.

In exchange, the bin lids will feature images of Coca-Cola products. It's great that Chicago is expanding its recycling services, but residents should be able to...
