We are so proud and happy that kids love Dino Lingo.
I found the lessons from Dino Lingo heart warming and engaging. My kids loved the dinosaurs and were so proud of the words they learned. The animation was very cute and everything was easy to follow. I could easily see my kids staying engaged while learning a new language. This is a terrific program for toddlers, preschoolers, and even school aged children. If anything it will expose them to a new language that they can build upon.
Heidi Boelsma
My toddler loves his 'Dino Movie' and requests it on a daily basis; sometimes multiple times a day.The dinosaurs and other fun characters are animated and engaging, keeping my son glued to his TV. Sure enough he started walking around the house in no time saying things like "hola!" and "pez" as he pointed to the fish bowl! I almost couldn't believe how quickly he caught on to some of the words and phrases! Now that were a few months in; Reece is repeating most if not all of the simple words and phrases...
A very happy mom
Britnee Sammons
I couldn't believe how fast my children and myself for that matter started to pick up a new language! They started repeating the new words just seconds after hearing and seeing them on screen. The DinoLingo videos are fun and entertaining, kids never even realize they are "learning". The DinoLingo program is a great addition to any child's education.
Paula Crawford / Joshua 8 yrs old / George 7 yrs old
I loved the Dino Lingo set, in the Italian language. My daughter loved it, the images kept her locked and loaded. She repeated words out loud while watching it and now she loves to show off her new language skills, every time she gets an opportunity to speak Italian she will. Even my child's teacher is impressed. Its a great way for anyone to learn a language, I myself picked up a few things from watching. I look forward to introducing and mastering the sets of other languages in the future with Dino Lingo with my daughter.
Brittney Fonseca(Mom) / Emily D. Fonseca(Daughter)
I love your dvd programs. My daughter is going on 2 and the spanish dvd is so entertaining for her. Ive noticed her speaking a little in spanish and hope that ahe picks it up as a second language. My oldest is 7 and learned from dino lingo so well that she wants to take on another language. Thank you for the FUN, EASY way to learn spanish.
Paula Rivas
Rivas family
Learning with Dino Lingo is not only fun but enjoyable for my son and since it's cartoon characters it helps my child relate and learn. He loves Dinosaurs so he is excited every time we put in the DVD, and is eager to learn some new words.He was so excited to tell me all the words he learned the first time he watched it and share the words with friends from school. It helps create a wonderful, fun bonding experience with my son all while learning a new language. There are so many different languages to choose from that will teach your child a new language.

Colossal train engines once pulled hefty freight along the O&W Railway's main line. Today, where the rails lines formerly cut through glistening tree canopies, a 2-mile unpaved trail splices through six rural hamlets, just 90 miles from New York City. It's along this rails-to-trails path that Woodridge Segway Tours whisks its adventurers through beautiful mountain views, clean country air, and the sounds of fresh water trickling. With safety helmets securely atop their heads, tour takers steer the two-wheeled segway transporters with intuitive gestures: leaning forward to go ahead, leaning backward to reverse, and pulling on their ears to make the segways sing.
As stunning fall colors settle into the leaves of Saratoga County, beer lovers gather at the Malta Drive-In to celebrate the changing of the season with 27 different German and seasonal fall craft beers. Traditional German food complements a wide selection of American seasonal favorites, such as the Fall Summit ale from Peak Organic Brewing Company and the traditional Oktoberfest beer produced yearly by the Spaten brewery. The organizers endeavor to entertain more than taste buds, arranging live musical performances throughout the day from German accordion player Herb Liebenhagen, Saratoga favorite Headband Jack, and the Bluz House Rockers. Visitors also partake in games and contests such as Best Brat Costume or Who Smells the Most Like Cabbage.
Located inside the Poughkeepsie Galleria, Vendetta Paintball and Laser Combat challenges players to technologically advanced games of laser tag and paintball on a 22,000-square-foot indoor field.

Looking to put a new spin on a classic family activity, the minds behind Glowgolf decided to give the game a phosphorescent update. Incandescent courses place friends and family amid a tropical-fantasy golf world of neon orange, green, and violet surroundings. Players putt luminous orbs through vibrant treasure chests and glimmering windmills while negotiating tricky obstacles near walls portraying black-light-lit aquatic scenes. With more than 20 locations spread over 10 states, Glowgolf's fluorescent labyrinths challenge human players and traveling gnomes.
The 18-hole course at Rainbow Golf Club takes players careening across a 6,287-yard layout carved into the foothills of the Northern Catskill Mountains. Players rip tee shots from one of five sets of tees per hole, allowing for an enjoyable yet challenging round for greenhorns to green-jacket holders. As rental carts transport players across the well-manicured landscape, they must take care to avoid tree-lined fairways, undulating greens, and feral caddies looking to stock up on golf balls for winter's hibernation. The course's signature hole is the 13th, a 135-yard, par 3 that forces golfers to carry their tee shot over water onto an island green, the only known island in New York. A pro shop, practice facilities, and a restaurant with an outdoor patio overlooking the course all provide entertainment when golfers aren't practicing their postputt struts.
Course at a Glance:
- 18-hole, par 71 course
- Total length of 6,287 yards from the back tees
- Course rating of 70.8 from the back tees
- Course slope of 126 from the back tees
- Five sets of tees per hole

› Find signed collectible books: 'Chapman's Homer the Iliad the Odyssey'
Hector bidding farewell to his wife and baby son, Odysseus bound to the mast listening to the Sirens, Penelope at the loom, Achilles dragging Hector's body round the walls of Troy - scenes from Homer have been reportrayed in every generation. The questions about mortality and identity that Homer's heroes ask, the bonds of love, respect and fellowship that motivate them, have gripped audiences for three millennia. Chapman's Iliad and Odyssey are great English epic poems, but they are also two of the liveliest and readable translations of Homer. Chapman's freshness makes the everyday world of nature and the craftsman as vivid as the battlefield and Mount Olympus. His poetry is driven by the excitement of the Renaissance discovery of classical civilisation as at once vital and distant, and is enriched by the perspectives of humanist thought. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Chapman's Homer: The Odyssey'
George Chapman's translations of Homer are among the most famous in the English language. Keats immortalized the work of the Renaissance dramatist and poet in the sonnet "On First Looking into Chapman's Homer." Swinburne praised the translations for their "romantic and sometimes barbaric grandeur," their "freshness, strength, and inextinguishable fire." The great critic George Saintsbury (1845-1933) wrote: "For more than two centuries they were the resort of all who, unable to read Greek, wished to know what Greek was. Chapman is far nearer Homer than any modern translator in any modern language." This volume presents the original text of Chapman's translation of the Odyssey (1614-15), making only a small number of modifications to punctuation and wording where they might confuse the modern reader. The editor, Allardyce Nicoll, provides an introduction, textual notes, a glossary, and a commentary. Garry Wills's preface to the Odyssey explores how Chapman's less strained meter lets him achieve more delicate poetic effects as compared to the Iliad. Wills also examines Chapman's "fine touch" in translating "the warm and human sense of comedy" in the Odyssey.
[via]Oft of one wide expanse had I been told
That deep-browed Homer ruled as his demesne;
Yet did I never breathe its pure serene
Till I heard Chapman speak out loud and bold.
--John Keats

With an Introduction and Notes by Adam Roberts, Royal Holloway, University of London The product of more than a decade's continuous work (1598-1611), Chapman's translation of Homer's great poem of war is a magnificent testimony to the power of the Iliad. In muscular, onward-rolling verse Chapman retells the story of Achilles, the great warrior, and his terrible wrath before the walls of besieged Troy, and the destruction it wreaks on both Greeks and Trojans. Chapman regarded the translation of this epic, and of Homer's Odyssey (also available in Wordsworth Editions) as his life's work, and dedicated himself to capturing the 'soul' of the poem. [via]

This is the first self-contained edition of Books VI-VIII of the Odyssey--the account of Odysseus' time among the Phaeacians, and a popular introduction to Homer. While not neglecting matters of language and formulaic composition, the Commentary aims to provide guidance on questions of literary and narrative technique and poetic artistry. The Introduction deals with the problem of Homeric composition in general, and with the place of the Phaeacian books in the poem as a whole. There are also brief sections on Homeric meter and the text. [via]

Here is a new Loeb Classical Library edition of the resplendent epic tale of Odysseus's long journey home from the Trojan War and the legendary temptations, delays, and perils he faced at every turn. Homer's classic poem features Odysseus's encounters with the beautiful nymph Calypso; the queenly but wily Circe; the Lotus-eaters, who fed his men their memory-stealing drug; the man-eating, one-eyed Cyclops; the Laestrygonian giants; the souls of the dead in Hades; the beguiling Sirens; the treacherous Scylla and Charybdis. Here, too, is the hero's faithful wife, Penelope, weaving a shroud by day and unraveling it by night, in order to thwart the numerous suitors attempting to take Odysseus's place.
The works attributed to Homer include the two oldest and greatest European epic poems, the Odyssey and Iliad. These texts have long stood in the Loeb Classical Library with a faithful and literate prose translation by A. T. Murray. George Dimock now brings the Loeb's Odyssey up to date, with a rendering that retains Murray's admirable style but is worded for today's readers. The two-volume edition includes a new introduction, notes, and index.

The epic song of Ilion (an old name for Troy), The Iliad recreates a few dramatic weeks near the end of the fabled Trojan War, ending with the funeral of Hector, defender of the doomed city. Through its majestic verses stride the fabled heroes Priam, Hector, Paris, and Aeneas for Troy; Achilles, Ajax, Menelaus, Agamemnon, Patroclus, and Odysseus for the Greeks; and the beautiful Helen, over whom the longstanding war has been waged. Never far from the center of the story are the quarreling gods: Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo, Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite.
The Iliad is the oldest Greek poem and perhaps the best-known epic in Western literature, and has inspired countless works of art throughout its long history. An assemblage of stories and legends shaped into a compelling single narrative, The Iliad was probably recited orally by bards for generations before being written down in the eighth century B.C. A beloved fixture of early Greek culture, the poem found eager new audiences when it was translated into many languages during the Renaissance. Its themes of honor, power, status, heroism, and the whims of the gods have ensured its enduring popularity and immeasurable cultural influence.

This is a boxed gift edition of Fagles's two widely acclaimed translations of Homer.
The Iliad is typically described as one of the greatest war stories of all time, but to call it a war story does not begin to describe the emotional sweep of its action and characters: Achilles, Helen, Hector, and other heroes of Greek myth and history in the 10th and final year of the Greek siege of Troy. The Odyssey is, quite simply, the story of Odysseus, who wants to go home. But Poseidon, god of oceans, doesn't want him to make it back across the wine-dark sea to his wife, Penelope, son, Telemachus, and their high-roofed home at Ithaca. The story is told in easy-going, beautiful poetry; the characters speak naturally, the action happens briskly. Even the gods come across as real people, despite the divine powers they exercise constantly. Both works have been hailed by scholars and the public for the powerful language that brings clashing, pulsing life to these ancient masterpieces. [via]

Odyssey which in Greek literally means "the tale of Odysseus," has becomes synonymous with a great journey. "The Odyssey" follows Homer's "The Iliad" where we find all the surviving warriors of the great Trojan War have returned home except for Odysseus, who has been detained by the nymph Calypso for her sexual pleasure. Odysseus however wishes to return to his family and loved ones who await his return at home. The Gods send the fleet-footed Hermes to order Calypso to free him and in doing so Odysseus begins his journey. Along the way Odysseus must overcome many obstacles and battle mythical creatures. Contained in this volume is the prose translation of Samuel Butcher and Andrew Lang. [via]

"Tell us, Goddess, daughter of Zeus, start in your own place:
when all the rest at Troy had fled from that steep doom
and gone back home, away from war and the salt sea,
only this man longed for his wife and a way home."
Homer's Odyssey, at once an exciting epic of strife and subterfuge and a deeply felt tale of love and devotion, stands at the very beginning of the Western literary tradition. From ancient Greece to the present day its influence on later literature has been unsurpassed, and for centuries translators have approached the meter, tone, and pace of Homer's poetry with a variety of strategies. Chapman and Pope paid keen attention to color, drama, and vivacity of style, rendering the Greek verse loosely and inventively. In the twentieth century, translators such as Lattimore kept rigorously close to the sense of each word in the original; others, including Fitzgerald and Fagles, have departed further from the language of the original, employing their own inventive modern style.
Poet and translator Edward McCrorie now opens new territory in this striking rendition, which captures the spare, powerful tone of Homer's epic while engaging contemporary readers with its brisk pace, idiomatic language, and lively characterization. McCrorie closely reproduces the Greek metrical patterns and employs a diction and syntax that reflects the plain, at times stark, quality of Homer's lines, rather than later English poetic styles. Avoiding both the stiffness of word-for-word literalism and the exaggeration and distortion of free adaptation, this translation dramatically evokes the ancient sound and sense of the poem. McCrorie's is truly an Odyssey for the twenty-first century.
To accompany this innovative translation, noted classical scholar Richard Martin has written an accessible and wide-ranging introduction explaining the historical and literary context of the Odyssey, its theological and cultural underpinnings, Homer's poetic strategies and narrative techniques, and his cast of characters. In addition, Martin provides detailed notesfar more extensive than those in other editionsaddressing key themes and concepts; the histories of persons, gods, events, and myths; literary motifs and devices; and plot development. Also included is a pronunciation glossary and character index.

Colonel T.E. Lawrence was one of the most flamboyant figures of his era, known throughout the Western world as Lawrence of Arabia. Glory-seeking yet self-effacing, this soldier, archaeologist, spy, and scholar was a war hero whom Winston Churchill called "one of the greatest men of our time." Less well known were his abilities as historian and author, which won him the admiration of such writers as Ezra Pound, W.H. Auden, and Robert Graves.
While stationed on a desolate R.A.F. outpost on the fringes of the Karachi desert in India, Lawrence began his acclaimed translation of The Odyssey. He devoted himself to the project for four years, and during that time he came to feel that he was uniquely suited to the task. "I have hunted wild boars and watched wild lions," he wrote. "Built boats and killed many men. So I have odd knowledges that qualify me to understand The Odyssey, and odd experiences that interpret it to me." Relying on an innate sense of language and truly gifted abilities at translation, Lawrence transformed Homer's Odyssey into mellifluous prose. The result was an overnight bestseller. The New York Herald Tribune hailed it "perhaps the most interesting translation of the world's most interesting book," and The New York Times called it "ruggedly and roughly masculine" and added that it "gives a vividness to the story beyond any other text familiar to us."
Lawrence breathes new life into the adventures of Odysseus, smoothing the reader's path through a fantastic array of monsters, temptresses, gods, and goddesses. For a generation of readers accustomed to verse translations of Homer, this bold and vivid prose version is well worth rediscovery. [via]

Compuesta en el siglo VIII a.C. narra una leyenda micénica situada en el siglo XII antes de Cristo, una edad heroíca dominada por los aspectos militares,el individualismo desenfrenado y la persecución de la riqueza y la gloria.
Homero (Siglo IX a.C. - Sigl)
Poeta griego. Homero es el literato más famoso de la época arcaica, considerado el autor de dos de las obras más importantes de la Literatura Universal: la Iliada y la Odisea. Alrededor de su vida existe un halo legendario, especulándose incluso que no existió. La Iliada tiene 24 cantos y unos 15.000 versos mientras que la Odisea se queda en unos 10.000. Sobre Homero se han vertido ríos de tinta, siendo considerado como mero recopilador de los versos que componen sus obras o el autor de los poemas. Es difícil tomar partido por alguna de las dos opciones aunque parece que la segunda va tomando más consistencia entre los estudiosos. Incluso ahora se empieza a adjudicar a Homero la autoría de algunas obras arcaicas como La Tebaida o los Epígonos. [via]

Die Ilias (altgriechisch 8»¹¬Â Iliás, vermutlich Troerin), eines der ältesten schriftlich fixierten Werke Europas, schildert einen Abschnitt des troianischen Krieges. Das Epos umfasst 24 Bücher bzw. Gesänge, wie diese Abschnitte seit der Übersetzung durch Johann Heinrich Voß bezeichnet werden. Die Ilias beruht auf frühgeschichtlichen Mythen und Erzählungen und wird Homer zugeschrieben (zur Verfasserschaft, auch hinsichtlich der Odyssee, siehe Homerische Frage). Die Ilias-Darstellung der Olympischen Götter dürfte erheblich zur Entwicklung einer nationalen griechischen Religion beigetragen haben und prägt bis in die Gegenwart die europäische Kunst- und Geisteswissenschaft.

Fashions exist in the world of vaping just as much as many other areas of our modern world. Today the majority of vapers use the Vision CE cartomizer on top of a eGo battery either as their main device or as a secondary Ecig for use when they are out and about. ECig Wizards popular New User Starter Bundle is based on this setup because this undoubtably offers a good vaping experience however different people have individual preferences so I'd like to introduce (maybe reintroduce) you to the Smok Mega Dual Coil Cartomiser, it has been around for a while now so you may have overlooked it. I'm not going to try to tell you that it's any better than a Vision CE cartomizer, just that it is different... and you might like it.
The Smok Mega Dual Coil Cartomiser is a straight edged tube with a circumference similar to that of an eGo battery and a length of about 75mm including the rubberised whistle shaped mouthpiece. The chrome version has a brushed finish and the black has a smooth black surface, both of which match nicely with the corresponding finish of the eGo battery. Don't be put off the black version for fear of receiving a cartomizer wrapped in black insulating tape, this has a paint coating and is of such good quality that it will easily outlast the life of the coil. There are two versions of this cartomizer, one with a skirted eGo fitting and one with a 510 thread, the latter is designed for use on mods whereas the former fits nicely on standard eGo batteries. As a personal preference I always use the eGo version and then employ a 510/eGo adapter if I'm using it on a mod, I find that this provides an airflow rate which suits me best.
The inside of the cartomizer is almost filled with white wadding, I know that wadding is not in vogue at the moment but it really is very practical.. just think of it as a giant wick feeding your Eliquid to the coils. With Eliquid soaked into the wadding there is virtually no chance of leakage, even with it in your pocket while out jogging you will find that when you break for a breather it will Vape just as well as when you started out and there will be no damp patch in your pocket either even when it's loaded to it's full capacity of about 4ml of juice. As it's name implies this cartomizer has two coils (the part that vaporises your Eliquid), these are at the battery end beneath the wadding, each coil is 3 ohms so together they run at 1.5 ohms which is ideal for an eGo battery.
The Smok brand has a good reputation for quality manufacturing and this cartomizer doesn't disappoint, it gives good vapour production and flavour. To do the first filling you just pull off the mouthpiece and slowly drip your ejuice down the side while it soaks into the wadding, once the wadding is saturated leave it to stand for an hour or so and then vape away, subsequent fillings will not require so long to stand.
The Mega Dual Cartomizer is disposable, there is no changing of heads here however this makes it very simple to use which is appealing to many of us and additionally the cost of the whole disposable cartomizer is only about 50% greater than that of a CE replaceable head on its own.
The life of cartomizers vary greatly and it seems that it is just a matter of luck just how long one will last, however in my experience the Smok Mega Dual Coil Cartomizers are normally fairly long lived, often I have given up on one after many weeks of use simply because the wadding has 'gunked up' although the coils are still running fine. Ironically the one that I was vaping on while typing this has just died on me however it has served me well for about three weeks so I'm not too upset. If I had just filled it up I might be feeling a little less sanguine because one of the disadvantages of wadding is that you can't get your ejuice back out easily once added so it is lost when the cartomizer is disposed of but even allowing for this one caveat I'd still recommend that you consider adding one to you next order to try it out for yourself.

Cumbrian loan shark must pay back £50k or face prison term
Last updated at 13:30, Friday, 27 April 2012
A loan shark must pay back more than £50,000 or face 18 months in prison.
Related: Cumbrian loan shark who made £36,000 from money lending avoids jail
Paul Gilpin appeared at Carlisle Crown Court today for a Proceeds of Crime hearing.
Gilpin, of Thorny Road, Thornhill, near Egremont, ran his business for nearly eight years, netting about £100 a week on top of his regular wages from his job in the construction industry.
He had more than 40 customers, to whom he lent relatively small amounts of money, usually for short periods of time.
The loans - some charged at 70 per cent - enabled him to buy two houses.
The court was told Gilpin's realisable assets amounted to £50,543.11.
Last year Gilpin was given a nine-month prison sentence, suspended for two years and ordered to do 250 hours' unpaid work in the community after he pleaded guilty to carrying on a consumer credit business without the necessary licence and laundering the money he made from it.
Gilpin must pay the money by October 1.
The prosecution was brought by Birmingham Trading Standards.
After the hearing, Angela Jones, Trading Standards service manager at Cumbria County Council, said: "This result is great news for Cumbria Trading Standards and the Illegal Money Lending team, we hope that this will send a stark warning to those engaged in illegal money lending that we will do all we can to tackle this despicable crime.
"We will continue to work in partnership to target loan sharks operating in our communities and prevent the most vulnerable from being trapped in debt and misery to unlicensed lenders."
And Tony Quigley, head of the England Illegal Money Lending Team, said: "Loan sharks are motivated purely by greed.
"They do not offer a community service and cause nothing but misery. Through proceeds of crime legislation we are able to hit illegal money lenders where it hurts, preventing them from profiting through crime.
"Today's result sends a clear message that we will tackle this crime and strip offenders of their ill-gotten gains."

JONAH counselor Thaddeus Heffner blamed Bruck's gay orientation "on Bruck for not working hard enough to change, on his father for being too distant, and on his mother for being too close to him," the suit said.
Bruck quit after five sessions, delivered through an online video link, because he "experienced deepening depression and anxiety leading to suicidal ideation and feelings of hopelessness about his life," the suit said.
Heffner angrily warned Bruck that he was "making a big mistake" and "throwing (his) life away" by "giving into (his) desires" and that he would "never lead a happy life," but would "lead a life of unhappiness in that unhealthy lifestyle," the suit said.
Chaim Levin, also an orthodox Jew, was about to turn 17 in 2007 when he talked to his parents about his sexual orientation and sexual abuse when he was younger. A rabbi in his Brooklyn, New York, community suggested to his parents that they enroll him in JONAH's program.
"You can change if you just try hard enough," the suit said Goldberg told him. "You just need to work really hard, we are experts at this. We have helped so many people."
Levin attended weekly sessions for 18 months at JONAH's Jersey City, New Jersey, headquarters conducted by Alan Downing, an unlicensed JONAH counselor who calls himself a "life coach," the suit said. Downing is named as a defendant in the case.
"I was manipulated into believing that I could change my sexual orientation, but instead I was subjected to terrible abuse that mirrored the traumatic assault that I experienced as a young person," Levin said at a news conference Tuesday. " What I can tell you is that conversion therapy does not work. My family and I have wasted thousands of dollars and many hours on this scam."
The lawsuit described what happened in one of those sessions in October 2008 with Levin, who was 18 at the time.
"Downing initiated a discussion about Levin's body and instructed Levin to stand in front of a full-length mirror and hold a staff," the suit said. "Downing directed Levin to say one negative thing about himself, remove an article of clothing, then repeat the process. Although Levin protested and expressed discomfort, at Downing's insistence, Levin submitted and continued until he was fully naked. Downing then instructed Levin to touch his penis and then his buttocks. Levin, unsure what to do but trusting in and relying on Downing, followed the instructions, upon which Downing said 'good' and the session ended."
Two other plaintiffs -- Benjamin Unger and Michael Ferguson -- described similar incidents in the suit.

I was number four in line at Decatur Heights, arriving around 6:10. The man at the front of the line said he arrived at 5:45. Later a man who was maybe number twelve in line said he arrived around 5:15 but decided to wait in his car. He thought everyone walking in were campaign workers. Voting took about five minutes. Number one and I left together and I offered him my umbrella as we walked to his car. "It's the only prize you get for being first", I told him. He laughed, we shook hands, and that was it.
Otherwise it was uneventful. No one was wearing illegal clothing or making snarkie comments. By the time I left, the parking lot was full and people were parking on the street, up to a block away. No problems with traffic or parking.

I just voted in Cobb County and the amount of uncontested candidates was really sad. I have never had less choice in an election than I did today. This was my first time voting in Georgia, is it usually like this?
Steely Dan
9:23 am on Tuesday, November 6, 2012
Karen, usually it is. Most of non-metro GA leans heavily Republican/conservative so most Democrats don't bother running, as they'd have little chance of winning in many of the non-metro counties, thus the numerous 'uncontested' candidates you saw today. They were definitely contested but that was back during the summer primaries.
This message isn't an endorsement of this situation - just a noting of its reality.

The most important thing for us to do, regardless of the winner, is to resolve some important issues for our political system and the way it operates especially in Georgia.
First, even with an approval rating of only 10% most congressman and state representatives will be returned to office. Why? It is because the politicians choose the voters instead of the voters choosing the politicians, so we need some method of fairly drawing the districts and to eliminate gerrymandering. This will also encourage more people to run for office. Remember most of our state representatives have no competition because they are in protected districts. The bottom line is that in Georgia this is a one party state and therefore our elected government in Georgia has no legitimacy.
5:39 pm on Tuesday, November 6, 2012
This is not normal for the future. We need to challenge these candidates, however, good candidates are hard to find. They must be strong enough to buck the system since once the candidate is in office GA voters do not like change.

With all due respect, yes we are Americans. I remember being 12 years old when my dad said your brother, sister and yourself are Americans and this our country now. They became citizens and said do not expect to have any sense of entitlement, you earn want you want through hard work and if someone esle works harder than you and climbs the ladder of success sooner than you, do not envy them. Also Cubans do not care if stores have signs in Spanish or not and really do not care about the Give Me Latino movement. We simply cannot have relations with Cuba unless they have regime change. Fidel Castro has assassinated men, women and children. We are not at Socialism at the moment, but Obama is sure pushing us that way. Time for a real Leader!

Why the double standard? We have relations with China another communist country. I think we have not established relations with Cuba because of the sugar lobby and the Cuban community being against it .I think it would be in our best interests to normalize relations with Cuba. We could then exercise more influence because of economic ties. Maybe we could even steal some of their surplus of doctors.

I hope you or no one you know gets sick, or fall on hard time Atl Resident Since that is not Socialism if they receive help. I hope you never need Government for anything since no man is an island anywhere on this planet. Obama fort hard to save us as a nation from falling off a cliff created by the GOP and profiteers. No one in the GOP has the right to tell me what to with my body nor do they have the right to build a false economy on bubbles so most will fall when the bubble burst without consequences. The Smoke and Mirrors may catch your eyes but I see straight thru it. We have been creating an environment so people as a nation will thrive for centuries. The only kool-aide around here is one fill with false promises during the campaign then lace with how many exclusive friends/donors they can help out after. This is not the Democrat way for sure. President Obama has kept us from imploding economically but he certainly was not the one who lead us to that spot in the first place. I guess putting America back to work and Rebuilding a fair economy is a Sin in this state for many but not for the nation. Thanks Goodness for that.

@George Wilson. Perhaps it would have been wise for president Obama to have taken your advice and realized that he too is (supposedly) an American and as such, one of his most important primary functions as president, was to look after the best interests of America. I know that he has failed in that responsibility on all counts in my observation. I also am quite aware of what socialism is, what it represents and what the true definition of the term means. And yes, Barack Obama is a Fabian socialist. Cubans who remember their heritage and from whence they came will remember the stench of it and how socialism and communism have destroyed their country of birth. I don't see them wanting to become part of the same thing here.

Other than the political ideologies they espouse, they are all "corporatist;" as in amassing power to a central authority and incorporating into that central governance: branches of government to its chief executive, lower governments, their branches, police forces, schools, etc. and even interests normally independent of government from the media and labor unions to doctors offices and garden clubs.
Even Boy and Girl scouts.

If just finished voting in Cherokee County. The longest part of the process was driving to and from the polling location. Total time to vote was 10 minutes.
I've been wondering how voting machines are allocated across the state and counties. Does anyone know they're allocated or if the counties purchase them themselves? I've always wondered why it takes only minutes to vote in Cherokee while in other counties, it takes hours...Just curious.
1:19 pm on Tuesday, November 6, 2012
I too would be very interested to see on a map every polling place, then how many voting machines are at each spot. If there are lower numbers in highly populated places is it because they need more volunteers? Or is it political? Like everything else seems to be.

George...I agree with your statements that Georgia is a single party state and that its presidential vote won't matter as Georgia votes Republican.
The disconcerning thing is that while the state is split roughly 55/45 Rep/Dem our state legislature and federal representives are disproportionately Republican. Currently, our
US House representatives split 62/38 Rep/Dem
State House splits 65/35
State Senate splits 64/36
Via gerrymandering, the Republicans party is drawing districts to protect their legislators from competition and discriminating against Democrats. Via gerrymandering, the 1 person/1 vote rule is broken and it works out to be 1 Republican/1.25 vote and 1 Democrat/.75 vote. The effect of gerrymandering will be even more pronounced after today's election.

@George Wilson I agree there is a double standard. America is scared of China, I for one would have dealt with them Militarily years ago and probably used very severe force against them when I was in the military as a paratrooper. I do not trust China and never will... Fidel Castro personally, unlike the leader of China is a Known Assassin of women, men and children. How in the world can you keep insisting that we have relations with a known Assassin the leader of Cuba. Fidel and his brother Raul need to die like the rats they are similar to the way Suddam Husseim and Ghaddafi died like the that cowards they were... As for the doctors of Cuba, my grandfather was murdered because of his political beliefs and was once the most powerful doctor in Cuba. He was the Director of Calixto Garcia the biggest hospital in Cuba. For the other ignorant people that think the sugar lobby is stopping the relations, they should wake up and stop breathing the stench of Socialism and Communism. There is not enough sugar in Cuba to make even a small dent on our economy.

I could argue that the privileged corrupt class that ran Cuba before Castro along with the imperialists' corporations, reactionaries and obstructionists had to be gotten rid of in order for the revolution to survive. And for the revolution to be successful we had to encourage immigration, re-education, or imprisonment in order for the revolution to succeed. The end certainly justified the means.

"I could argue that the privileged corrupt class that ran Cuba before Castro..."---George Wilson
Batista's class.
A Spaniard I met in the late 60s, and then temporary emigre to the states (as long as 'corporatist' Franco was alive), told me what I then thought plausible: that Batista had become too big for his britches skimming more than should have been his take from Havana's casinos and whorehouses resulting in Howard Hughes, Lanskey, Smathers and Trufficante of Florida, with Nixon their lawyer, arming Castro to get rid of Batista. If so, they had underestimated Castro.
It could certainly explain why Castro went unopposed by our government for so long, and, with Havana's demise, our government, in light of Castro having American arms, having done, at the end, nothing (at least publically) to stop the mass executions then televised stateside; and, afterwards, the sudden investments and build-up of Las Vegas to, in effect, replace Havana.

When will the "so called people of courage" realize they have been backing a patholigical lier who has said anything to anybody at anytime in order to try and get elected. Who is this man? What does he stand for except pandering to the most extreme base element of the RP? After President Obama wins re-election the RP will have to takes its party back from the Birthers, Birchers, white supremist, Christian ideologues, homophopics, and misogynists (who did I miss?) and figure out how to advocate conservative platforms that appeals beyond a shrinking demographic...white men. The extremists who have hijacked the RP party are playing a losing game. You can not win a national election by trying to appeal and expand a diminishing population...white men. With that said, it only makes sense why these wackos oppose the Dream Act, support voter suppression and repealing women's rights and civil rights.

Don't get me wrong. Obviously I have no love for Republicans given especially who they will allow in their ranks locally, but:
"'Pathological' liar"? That would be Obama.
With his greatest and most contemptible made during the 2nd debate (beginning with "Do you really want to go there?") and, in collsusion with the moderator Crowley ("You have a 'TRANSCRIPT'?"), when attempting to decieve and sucker-punch Romney, and the American electorate, into believing his deliberate and irredeemable lie that his "acts of terror" Rose Garden speech the day after the assassinations of Americans in Libya referred to terrorists and not random protestors which he had even then blamed fellow Americans for inciting.
Obama's Rose Garden speech was, as he then said, was his assurance to Americans and warning to the Muslim world, that even murders of Americans by protestors incited by a movie would be regarded "acts of terror."
It was the prospect of the Libyan attack coming up in the first debate that had actually scared Obama so that he could not get passed his lump in his throat.
In the photo of Obama and Biden facing each other at the moment they realized that they had won enough electoral votes, did you not see the lumps in both their throats while in utter shock of having gotten away with it?

I voted at tithe recreation center in Wills Park, it was a joke. It took an 1 1/2 hours; they were so slow getting people to the voting machines that only 5 out of 25 machines were being used at any given time. This always happens at the Rec. center every time I vote there, you wait in line forever and when you finally get to vote, you see only a couple of the voting machines are being used at any given time. The volunteers are terribly slow all the time at the Rec. center and they never have enough volunteers. Seems you have to be old and slow to qualify as a volunteer at the Wills Park Rec. center.

Why did J. Max Davis, as President of the Brookhaven Yes organization and countless volunteers fight so hard for us, the taxpayers of unincorporated DeKalb County, to be given the opportunity to become our own city ? Because everyone, Vote Yes and No.org, knew that we weren't getting our fair share of taxes spent in our parks and roads, among many other places. Brookhaven will take over 11 DeKalb County parks, when Brookhaven purchases them from the county at $ 100.00 per acre. It can't come soon enough for me ! Here is a list of all the parks in DeKalb County, from their website, http://www.co.dekalb.ga.us/parks/pr-facilities-ammenities.html
Look under Atlanta and then look under Chamblee, GA parks. Do you find Skyland Park ? I sure didn't. It's near PDK airport. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl
It's also next door to the DeKalb County Vital Records Unit. I hope voter registration records aren't stored there ! Yikes. If the county can lose a park that is by my guesstimate 5-6 acres, where are all our tax dollars going ? I sure don't know.

Deepened regional integration is the only way to go if East African Community (EAC) partner states are to get rid of the colonial boundary dilemma, a peace and security expert has said.
Dr Arthur Bainomugisha, a Makerere University don and director of Advocates Coalition for Development and Environment (ACODE), said the current border disputes in the region arise because the EAC has not achieved the desired integration.
Bainomugisha made the remarks at a public dialogue in Kampala over the weekend, which was organized by the Uganda Action Network on Small Arms (UANSA).
The event also marked the end of the Global Week of Action against Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW), which was organised by the EAC secretariat, in collaboration with the Eastern Africa Action Network on Small Arms(EAANSA) and the German International Development Agency (GIZ).
"Regional integration will address all these conflicts because time will come when border demarcations are meaningless," Dr Bainomugisha said, citing a border dispute between Uganda and Kenya that almost took the two neighbors to war over the tiny Migingo Island.
The don called for deeper democratic governance, saying this would put in place constitutions that stipulate peaceful transfer of power which, in turn, circumvents situations of military coups and bloodletting conflicts.
"There should also be improved promotion of civil-military relations in Africa," he told the East ast African News Agency (EANA) on the sidelines of the workshop.
Dr Bainomugisha called for an end to illegal arms, saying the perpetrators of the crimes always walk away unharmed, leaving up to ninety per cent of war victims, most of them being children and women, with shattered lives.
A Ugandan army officer, Lt. Col. Gordon Busingye, attributed the proliferation of fire arms to the moral degeneration in many societies in the region.
He was presenting a paper titled: ''Government action on armed violence'.
"Some parents and people don't cooperate in providing information about illegal arms to security personnel in their neighbourhoods. This has led to increased gun violence," Busingye told the participants, who included legislators, members of civil society organizations and the media.
Milton Muwuma, a Uganda member of Parliament, said drug abuse has been cited as one of the main causes of misuse of fire arms, calling on governments to control the vice.
