Written by TRF Times |
Thief River Falls - Clarence Peters, 87, died on Sunday, Dec.11, 2011 at Valley Home in Thief River Falls. Funeral services will be held at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 16, at Faith Lutheran Church in Goodridge, with Rev. Bob Dahlen officiating. Casket bearers include Clarence's grandsons. Honorary casket bearers include Clarence's granddaughters. Interment will follow at Jerusalem Cemetery, Moylan Township, Marshall County. Visitation will be from 5 to 8 p.m., with a prayer service at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 15 at Johnson Funeral Service in Thief River Falls. Visitation will also be held from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. on Friday at the church. Clarence August Peters was born Aug. 9, 1924 in Gettysburg, S.D., the son of William and Josephine (Lodes) Peters. In 1934, the family moved to Moylan Township, Marshall County and settled on a farm near Ditch 20. He was confirmed on March 30, 1947 in Bethel Lutheran Church in Grygla, by Pastor Uhlig. Clarence attended country school in Moylan Township and also attended school in Goodridge. When Clarence was 9 years old, his dad, William died. Clarence had a passion for farming. At an early age, he worked in the potato fields in North Dakota and continued farming throughout his life. Clarence was united in marriage to Ruth Augusta Zinter on May 18, 1946 in Mavie. The couple lived and farmed in Moylan Township; they had beef and dairy cattle, hogs and poultry, and raised small grains. Clarence enjoyed goose hunting, fishing, working with horses, square dancing and gardening; and in his later years he especially enjoyed driving around in his golf cart, socializing, and playing cards and games with his friends and family. In his community, Clarence was one who people came to rely on. Clarence was a member of Faith Lutheran Church in Goodridge where he served on the church council and building committee; was a charter member of the Goodridge Lions Club; served on the Moylan Township Board; and served on the Goodridge Creamery Board. Survivors include four children, Edythe "Edy" (Dick) Vavrichek of Rogers, Marvin Peters of Goodridge, Galen (Jodi) Peters of Goodridge, and Karen (Arnold) Njaa of Wannaska; grandchildren, Michelle Vavrichek, Daryl (Becky) Vavrichek, Jason (Allison) Kangas, Wendy (special friend, Joe Nowak) Kangas, LaRae Kangas, Nathan, Chrisopher and Chelsey Peters, Zach, Josh and Dusty Njaa; great-grandchildren, Luke, Luaryn, and Caitlyn Shomion, Makenna and Bennett Vavrichek, Cooper and Charlie Kangas; brother, Vernon (Ronnie) Peters of Westlinn, Ore.; sisters-in-law, Evalyn Peters and Martha Peters; and several nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his wife, Ruth, on Sept. 26, 2006; his parents; brothers, William "Bill" and Ray; sisters, Adeline (Arne) Nelson, Arneida (Milton) Mathieu, Wilma (Russell) South, Sylvia (Dwight) Meyer, and Sybilla Peters.

Then make sure to follow this little guide of selected expert tips on how to buy the best machine for your household.

One of the decisive factors in deciding what kind of machine you will get is certainly your available budget. Firstly, you need to settle an approximate budget that you can afford to spend on an automatic espresso machine. With this budget in mind, you will start your research. The best place to start is the online environment.
==>Click Here To Buy An Automatic Espresso Machine Now<==
There are plenty of retailers offering their products and services online, and since they know they are in such a competitive niche, they will constantly try to attract new customers by offering all kinds of discounts or even extra gifts (freebies!) with the items you purchase.
Decisive factors that will help you select the most appropriate and efficient automatic espresso machine
You are probably familiar with the espresso machines that create those lousy shots, or which are producing insufficient cream. If you have had such an espresso machine, you probably don't want anything like that anymore. The main problem with your good old machine most probably was that it did not come with a proper grinder. Therefore, the number one feature we are looking for is that the automatic espresso machine comes with a good grinder. Thus, you will only have to introduce the aromatic coffee beans, then add water, push the button and you will get the richest, most delicious and creamy espresso in a few minutes.
Next, think about the extra features. Do you and all the coffee drinkers in the household enjoy only espresso? Or would you like to drink a foamy rich cappuccino, or mocha latte from time to time? If this is the case, you should certainly look for a combo espresso maker. These types of coffee makers will make the perfect espresso coffee, but also regular coffee, cappuccino, latte and many other specialty beverages.
The truth is that owning a quality automatic espresso machine will require a higher investment. Quality also means a long life span for the unit – just think about how many you had to buy another espresso machine because the one you had just stopped working properly. With the money already spent on all those low quality brewers, you could have owned an original, sturdy and high quality coffee maker.
The expert's advice: It is much better to purchase a high quality automatic espresso machine in installments, if you can't afford full down payment, than just to buy a low end model that will simply not offer you the taste and aroma you are looking for, not to mention durability!
The highest quality espresso machines are built using plenty of parts that are generally used for commercial units. This means that the espresso maker is made to last longer, to bring better performance, and to work much faster. If you love the rich, dark and creamy espresso they serve at the coffee shop around the corner, you surely don't want to waste your precious money on low-end espresso machines.
What to look for in an automatic espresso machine
- Adjustable features – some of the best espresso makers out there will allow you to adjust the amount of water and of the coffee beans used to make that perfectly tasting espresso. There are many machines which come only with pre-set controls, but if you like to experiment with coffee in general, you will want to be able to "fine tune" your machine whenever you wish.
- If you do not like the mess every morning after drinking one tasty coffee, you should make sure that all the parts of the espresso machine are dishwasher safe.
- The taste of the espresso is considerably better if the automatic espresso machine comes with what is called a "pre-moistening phase". This means that the ground coffee is soaked in order to bring out all those aromatic oils to make the coffee flavor more intense.
- Perfect espresso coffee requires pure, high quality water. Therefore, make sure that your machine has a filter for the water tank.
- A bypass doser can be extremely practical. This will allow you to instantly brew a cup of decaffeinated coffee or any other beverage without having to remove the coffee beans that are already in the grinder doser.
- If you like variety, look after a machine that will work with both traditional coffee beans and with coffee capsules (the espresso pods). At times, you might want to enjoy a hot chocolate drink, or a special almond or vanilla flavored espresso.
Keep these tips in mind, do a little research and compare offers, and you will surely find an automatic espresso machine that fits your needs and your budget as well.

This page is for people who want to avoid any connection with any OBS backend - ie "as raw as possible".
If you simply want to do a local build then you probably want "osc build" which does almost everything for you. see Build_Infrastructure/Packagers_Developers
Contents |
A more convenient package build way is to use 'build' which is a project from OpenSUSE, MeeGo build infrastructure used it.
You can get build binary package from http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/tools/repos/ per your Linux distribution, if your Linux distribution isn't there, you can get build source package from http://www.gitorious.org/opensuse/build to build it yourself manually.
After you install it, you can run "build –help" to get help info. You need to run 'build' as root.
If your network needs proxy, please export proxy environment variables, for example:
export http_proxy=http://proxy.yourcompany.com:8080/ export no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.0/8,.yourcompany.com, 172.16.0.0/16
If you used to run "sudo build …" and your network needs proxy, please ensure sudo to inherit proxy environment variables, you can do this by adding the below line to /etc/sudoers
Defaults env_keep += "http_proxy no_proxy HTTP_PROXY NO_PROXY"
You may also need to set correct default distro target, or use the "build --dist=/usr/lib/build/configs/meego-1.1.conf" option:
cd /usr/lib/build/configs sudo ln -sf meego-1.2.conf default.conf
build also will check rpm package signature, so you must import public key of repository you're using, for example:
For http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/releases/1.2.0/repos/oss/ia32/packages
You can get its public key for http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/releases/1.2.0/repos/oss/ia32/packages/noarch/meego-release-1.2.0-2.1.noarch.rpm
$ wget http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/releases/1.2.0/repos/oss/ia32/packages/noarch/meego-release-1.2.0-2.1.noarch.rpm $ rpm2cpio meego-release-1.2.0-2.1.noarch.rpm | cpio -idmv $ rpm --import ./etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-meego02
This command will build a cpio binary package for MeeGo.
build --repository http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/releases/1.2.0/repos/oss/ia32/packages/ --arch i686 cpio-2.11-2.6.src.rpm
Optionally, you also can use spec file to build it, for this case, build will find your source tar ball and patches under current work dir.
build --repository http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/releases/1.2.0/repos/oss/ia32/packages/ --arch i686 cpio.spec
build will base your repo URL to cache your repo, so please use the same URL string for the same repo every time (URL with / at the end of it and the same URL without / at the end of it will result in different cache dirs), you can use multiple --repository options to specify multiple repos, for example:
build --repository http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/trunk/preview/core/repos/ia32/packages/ \ --repository http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/trunk/preview/netbook/repos/ia32/packages/ \ --arch i686 cpio-2.11-2.meego.src.rpm
The default cache dir is /var/cache/build, you can use option –cachedir to set to other dir.
The default BUILDROOT dir is /var/tmp/build-root, you can use --root option to specify one more dir, once build is done, you can get your binary package in BUILDROOT, for example:
... Wrote: /home/abuild/rpmbuild/SRPMS/cpio-2.11-2.meego.src.rpm Wrote: /home/abuild/rpmbuild/RPMS/i586/cpio-2.11-2.meego.i586.rpm Wrote: /home/abuild/rpmbuild/RPMS/i586/cpio-debuginfo-2.11-2.meego.i586.rpm ...
Your cpio binary package is /var/tmp/build-root/home/abuild/rpmbuild/RPMS/i586/2.11-2.meego.i586.rpm
If you want to modify packages, such as add/modify/remove patches, you need unpack src.rpm first. Then development can be based on source code.
This command would unpack src.rpm to current directory, and your work can be in this directory.
rpm2cpio XXX.src.rpm | cpio -idmv
Once you development work is done, you can use 'build' command to generate new RPM based on you changes. Command as follows:
build --repository http://YYY/repos/oss/ia32/packages/ --arch i686 XXX.spec
binary RPM package can be found in /var/tmp/build-root/home/abuild/rpmbuild/RPMS/.
Meet this problem : on fedora13 when using 'build' to create a armv7l rpm package. one of reasons: maybe 'qemu-arm' is not right set. Try command:'file /usr/bin/qemu-arm' ,and if its output show 'dynamically linked',and the problem maye is here,and it should be 'statically linked'.you can use commands 'rpm -i http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dl9pf:/qemu/Fedora_12/i386/qemu-devel-0.13git2010.06.24.1826-8.1.i386.rpm' (the package maybe changes,so you can go the web address to get it ,then install it )to reinstall this part, and maybe you will meet some problem because of its dependencies ,and you can uninstall all of them first.
on ubuntu10.04,you should install 'qemu-arm-static',use command:apt-get install qemu-arm-static
On Debian, you should install 'qemu-user-static' from Squeeze (Debian 6.0) and later.
This problem on ubuntu 10.04 when using 'build' to create a i686 rpm package. 'Error:rpm: error while loading shared libraries: liblua-5.1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory' Please modify the /usr/lib/build/configs/default.conf in preinstall section add liblua.--Kismeter 15:02, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
This problem on Ubuntu 10.04 when using 'build' to create a i586 package. Please Use build --repository http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/xxx/core/repos/ia32/packages/ --arch i686 xxxx.src.rpm The arch must be i686.
when build a armv7l rpm,modify /usr/lib/build/build and /usr/lib/build/configs/meego-1.0.conf ,change armv7el to armv7l in these files,maybe /usr/lib/build/Build.pm also need change. If problem persist, see bug 18905
If you meet below error, you may have a try to workaround the issue by installing the "rpm" package for 10.10, there seems to be a bug for "rpm" in 10.04 which fails to verify package signature.
downloading http://linux-ftp.jf.intel.com/pub/mirrors/MeeGo/releases/1.2.0/repos/oss/ia32/packages/noarch/autoconf-2.68-1.3.noarch.rpm ... rpm verify failed
1. add 10.10 repo to /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://cn.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick main restricted deb http://cn.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ maverick-updates main restricted
2. remove old rpm and install new one
$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get remove rpm $ sudo apt-get install rpm
3. comment out 10.10 repo to avoid upgrade other packages

Flash Poll: No Clear Winner in Monday Night's Debate
Not surprisingly, Republican respondents said Mitt Romney won and Democrats said Barack Obama won. But Democratic respondents were much stronger in their opinion.
Your view of Monday night's presidential debate on foreign policy may come down to who you already supported for president.
A Patch flash poll of influential Republicans and Democrats in Georgia found that opinions on who won generally fell along party lines: Republicans thought Gov. Mitt Romney was the winner and Democrats thought President Barack Obama prevailed.
It was a strong contrast to the first time the candidates faced off on Oct. 3, when the consensus of both parties was that Obama looked bored or annoyed and that Romney succeeded in presenting himself as presidential.
Republican respondents said they felt Romney won the final debate, with 26.7 percent saying it was "by a wide margin" and 40 percent "by a slim margin." Another 23.3 percent were neutral on the question and few Republicans gave the win to Obama.
Democrats also said their own candidate won Monday's debate, but they were much stronger in their assessment, with 90.5 percent saying Obama won "by a wide margin" and 9.5 percent saying he won "by a slim margin."
The flash poll of elected officials, candidates and activists is unscientific. Thirty Republicans and 21 Democrats took part.
Several Republican respondents said they thought Obama was aggressive and "disrespectful" in his tone, while they saw Romney as calm and in command of his arguments. Democratic respondents saw Romney as a flip-flopper who was loose with the facts.
Respondents in both parties predicted that the national media would declare Obama the winner, with 57 percent of Republicans and 86 percent of Democrats saying the president would get the nod of pundits.
Respondents in both parties were mixed on whether Monday night's debate would help their candidate make a stronger showing in Georgia. No clear pattern emerged, but several respondents noted that Georgia remains a Red State that should be safe for Romney.
One Republican respondent predicted:
"Georgia will vote Romney, the nation will vote for Obama, the Republicans retain the House, the Democrats will retain the Senate by a slim margin. Get ready for 4 more years that look just like the last."
What do you think? How much do the debates matter? Do you think Republicans will win Georgia by as wide a margin as they did in the 2008 presidential election?

My Twitter feed last night and today says that Obama clearly won the 3rd debate.

Thats because your twitter feed is full of Obama supporters.

All those elderly people that always vote Republican use twitter a lot and I am sure they were commenting last night on how well Obama did. :-)
11:23 am on Tuesday, October 23, 2012
The bigger question is who came across as Presidential, serious and level-headed and who sounded like the challenger, sarcastic and intemperate?

The article says: "A Patch flash poll of influential Republicans and Democrats in Georgia...."
44 people (as of 11:45am 10/23/12)? "Influential" More so than who? So collegiate. Not even post-graduate stuff. Ok, heck, it's downright high-schoolish.

Romney was like a little mouse and he lied about all his past positions. He will do or say anything to get elected. He can't be trusted.

Here is a quote from an article written by Mitt Romney in 2008in the New York Times concerning the Auto industry. During the debate last night BHO called Romney out saying he had a foggy memory and said he didnt want to help out the auto industry. Romney objected and tried defenending himself. BHO said people could look it up and Romney agreed. Well I am an informed voter and I looked it up. Romney DID NOT LIE..BHO did or he needs to get his fact checkers to fo a better job.
"The American auto industry is vital to our national interest as an employer and as a hub for manufacturing. A managed bankruptcy may be the only path to the fundamental restructuring the industry needs. It would permit the companies to shed excess labor, pension and real estate costs. The federal government should provide guarantees for post-bankruptcy financing and assure car buyers that their warranties are not at risk.
In a managed bankruptcy, the federal government would propel newly competitive and viable automakers, rather than seal their fate with a bailout check"
Neil Stapley

Yes he was for a managed bankruptcy, he was against a government bailout of the auto industry. By having private administrators manage the proceedings him and his vultures would have cherry picked the good parts and sold them off to China leaving Detroit to rot. That is why a government bailout of the car industry was so necessary 10,000s of jobs saved an industry that has reorganized and is now a lot stronger. Every single car company that has gone bankrupt and been allowed to disappear has been asset stripped and shipped to off to china. All Romney is doing is being very clever with the words he is using.
4:22 pm on Tuesday, October 23, 2012
No private money was available for a bankruptcy like the one
Romney spoke of in the article and he knows it. The only money available was government bailout money and Romney objected to it. I'm also an informed voter.
Neil Stapley
3:31 pm on Tuesday, October 23, 2012
Romney has not at any point listed companies that would have been prepared to back a private bailout reasons of which it probably had China written all over it. The Liquidity that the Fed provided which is what Romney was against was not available in the private sector this would have meant during a managed bankruptcy both GM and Chrysler would not have had enough funding to continue operations. The reason Ford were able to avoid federal help was they had brands in such as Jaguar, Land Rover, Aston Martin, Mazda etc that they were able to sell off to provide the funding.

"Furthermore, retiree benefits must be reduced so that the total burden per auto for domestic makers is not higher than that of foreign producers.
That extra burden is estimated to be more than $2,000 per car. Think what that means: Ford, for example, needs to cut $2,000 worth of features and quality out of its Taurus to compete with Toyota's Avalon. Of course the Avalon feels like a better product — it has $2,000 more put into it."
First of all Mitt's fascination with Avalons and Tauruses show how far out of touch he is. Could he not at least compare the Camry to the Fusion? And by the way contrary to his statement the Taurus is a better car.
But the bigger issue is this quote: "retiree benefits must be reduced" His Managed Bankruptcy was designed to cut obligations to retirees and reduce the pay to middle class workers, the auto workers, and they are not overpaid, they have taken several pay cuts over the years. The only people overpaid are the executives who've reaped insane compensation levels.
Finally there was no Managed Bankruptcy available that would have allowed the companies to operate without shutting down. This is why Ford supported the bailout, to avoid the shutdown, because doing that would have put suppliers out of business and since they supply Ford, Ford would have gone out of business.
Neil Stapley's assessment is also correct.
Eric Hovdesven
4:21 pm on Tuesday, October 23, 2012
Oh and you know to the extent Japan has a labor cost advantage (which is debateable) its because in the U.S. they have a younger work force due to the newer plants and less retirees.
So really, Mitt's unfeasible plan if feasible would have hurt retiree's. And the pension obligations would likely have had to be picked up by the U.S. Government which would have cost us more money.

Aside from your questionable comparison between Taurus and Avalon, you leave out one other clear cost reduction for auto production in civilized countries.

But look at what he has done to the Cuban people. They are living in abject poverty. He has destroyed any entrepreneurial spirit they may have had over the last 50 years.
Russian socialism didn't work either. And China is forging ahead at a frightening pace with capitalism.
And yet the democrats forge ahead with their socialist agenda. WE'RE GOING THE WRONG WAY.

President Obama to Ex-Governor Romney: "And the fact is while we were coordinating an international coalition to make sure these sanctions were effective, you were still invested in a Chinese state oil company that was doing business with the Iranian oil sector. So I'll let the American people decide, judge who's going to be more effective and more credible..."

Page 43 of the return (pg 14 of the pdf) references CNOOC investment dates acquired, and date sold; the Romneys invested in China National Offshore Oil Corporation from 2009 to 2011—even as US sanctions called for divestment of companies that do business with Iran's energy sector, as CNOOC does. The Chinese oil giant's parent company is helping Iran develop the North Pars natural gas field in a deal estimated to be worth $16 billion. The Romneys sold their shares in CNOOC 8/10/201.

I think it was a draw. Whoever you favor is the person you think did better. The real question is, did anyone change their minds. Romney needed to show up and do well, which he did. Obama needed to really outshine Romney in order to swing the momentum back his way. In my opinion, he fell short of that and came off as unpresidential. Telling someone the "80's called and want their foreign policy back" is not the way a President should be speaking to anyone. It was downright childish. I think it was a draw in the debate, which favors Romney, since he has the momentum right now.
4:21 pm on Tuesday, October 23, 2012

Each side will claim a win by its champion, but the important result of the third presidential debate is that Mitt Romney looked presidential, and Barack Obama failed to paint him as a dangerous warmonger.
For the first half of the debate, Obama frequently looked down while he was speaking, while Romney looked straight at the moderator and Obama. He looked confident, comfortable in his skin, and on the ball. He did not falter in the least.
Obama, on the other hand, betrayed his mood with eyes, which frequently looked worried, angry, sometimes sad, or even a hint of haunted.
Romney's momentum has not been checked by this debate. Obama is starting to realize that he will lose.

Obama was put into office for all the wrong reasons. Once America gets past her 'firsts', then they begin choosing people for their character and experience, not because they are trying to make a point. That will make it harder for democrats to control people through special interest. Obama has been controlled by pelosi, reid and the like- especially his first two years. You hardly ever saw him. They made all the decisions. He might have had some good ideas going in, but was never allowed to have a thought of his own. Might explain why he is uncomfortable when he is challenged. I don't think those are his convictions, but his handlers. That's why he's always needed a teleprompter. maybe that's why he was looking down- had to read notes. And Eddie, it was obama who was unqualified. Romney comes with quite a resume. Hewill also surround himself with good, competent people, unlike obama who had biden, reid and pelosi. I think he will have amuch better advantage going in.

We have a congress that is only willing to be led by lobbyists and special interests. We have an electorate that chooses to be led more by deceptive media pundits than honest rationale debate. We have been offered an alternative that is slick, handsome, zealous, a convincing liar, and desperately wants the job to fulfill his personal and religious destiny.
The choice is clear and Obama's integrity and selfless, dutiful path of leadership deserves to be rewarded with a landslide of voter support.

First President to arbitrarily declare an existing law unconstitutional and refuse to enforce it.
First President to tell a major manufacturing company in which state it is allowed to locate a factory.
First President to file lawsuits against the states he swore an oath to protect (AZ, WI, OH, IN).
First President to surround himself with radical left wing anarchists.
First President to hide his medical, educational and travel records.

DAVID LETTERMAN, HOST: Here's what upset me last night, this playing fast and loose with facts. And the President Obama cites the op-ed piece that Romney wrote about Detroit, "Let them go bankrupt, let them go bankrupt," and last night he brings it up again. "Oh, no, Governor, you said let them go bankrupt, blah blah blah, let them go bankrupt." And Mitt said, "No, no, check the thing, check the thing, check the thing."
Now, I don't care whether you're Republican or Democrat, you want your president to be telling the truth; you want the contender to be lying. And so what we found out today or soon thereafter that, in fact, the President Obama was not telling the truth about what was excerpted from that op-ed piece. I felt discouraged.

What is funny is while taking the high road in debate #1, Obama is chastised by the MSM, yet when Romney takes the high road in debate #3, he is "presidential".
Obama throws out a zinger, which is true by the way, and all of the sudden people are up in arms about "insulting the marines" I am so sick of the media narrative and the spin by both sides..
Make no mistake, Romney scares the ever loving stuff out of me, because I still have no idea what he will do - although he will do it based on polls and focus groups and whatever his handlers and donors tell him to do.
What's worse is we all know exactly what Obama will do.
Whats even worse is the fact Congress has run this country into the ground, yet they get a pass...
I've yet to find people who are for Romney other than the fact he is not Obama, because no one can tell me which Romney will be there come January - Moderate Romney, Conservative Romney - debate #2 Romney, Governor Romney, Bain Romney - seriously, WHO IS THIS GUY?

And regarding Romney "supporters" Look, I am all for free speech and educated decisions, but from what I read, there are fewer educated decisions then there is pure hatred and contempt for the other candidate... One thing I've seen come through with flying colors are insults over color, ethnicity and bigoted hate as the fallback reason - he's muslim, he's black, he's a socialist, he wasn't born here, he's this, he's that...

The blogs on The Midtown Patch seem to be about 70% pro-Romney. Considering that Midtown is the bluest area in the entire state, the views here don't seem very representative of the area. It's doubtful that Cobb county is going to elect an openly gay east Asian anytime soon. IMHO.

You would have to be a total idiot to vote for four more years of what we have had the last four! Obama has been a HUGE disappointment but he was not even close to being qualified in the first place. God help this country if he is re-elected.

Obamanaut = Obama + Astronaut?
Andrew, it's ok to have another opinion and not be a 'total idiot'. You right and left wingers are taking your info-tainment too seriously. On Nov 7, one side will lose and they will think it's the end of the country and they'll spend the next four years complaining about everything that happens in great detail. The inverse will happen for the winner. Both sides will make their case and sell a lot of media in the process. I hear the same passioned plea from left wingers and their opponents are 'total idiots' too. Lighten up. This is the nature of democracy. It's gonna be alright.

If you ask bookies who make a living deciding who will win they have had Obama consistently ahead. Right now they show Obama with a 60 percent chance of winning.

Irish bookies and the only way for an American to bet is to send them a check, cashiers check, international money wire.

Interesting quote from the 538 blog today...
"According to Brandon Adams, a professional poker player and a teaching fellow at Harvard, Intrade's prices are not necessarily considered more reliable by professional gamblers. Mr. Adams says that Betfair and the sports book Pinnacle, both of which put Mr. Obama's odds at about 63 percent as of early Wednesday morning, feature more sophisticated market participants."
Today's posting has a really good indepth analysis of the history and effectiveness of market based predictive models.
Andrew Blawat

Betfair has never accepted customers and/or credit card numbers from the United States. Pinnacle is another foreign company.
Since when is a poker player (ranked 69th) the leading authority on betting odds?

Andrew, I still don't understand your logic that since Americans are not able to quickly bet on the election, then the results are completely discounted. I thought you would be a 'free market is best' type. There is no prediction model that is going to be 100% accurate. It's a fair conversation to analyze the past effectiveness of the markets. Discussing the statistical research of a Harvard fellow gets a little more merit than an anonymous bloggers 'Irish bookies' logic.

The logic is that just about every country out there wants the US to reelect Obama. They know he is destroying America and with each notch we drop they go up a notch

No such thing as true "Independents". Just because someone is registered as an Independent doesn mean they are. Every person leans one way and thats the way they vote 99.99% of the time. Ive yet to met someone who votes between the two parties over their lifetime.
Well then- it really doesn't matter whatever incorrect formulation you think your on to for yourself there, I have voted cross party lines in quite a few elections. . And yourself? what is your voting record?
Todd G
7:45 am on Thursday, October 25, 2012
I was referring to the Gen Election. Unless your voiting record is @ 50/50 your not an independent. And anyone who dosnt have their mind made up bu now needs to see a shrink. Its not that difficult a decison to make no matter what they say....
Btw: I wasnt referring to you per see...just making a comment on the whole notion of "true Indendents".
9:19 am on Thursday, October 25, 2012
@ Todd - Actually I am a TRUE independent - I voted D I R R D the last 5, and more than likely will go independent again this time, so I would probably qualify based on your 50/50 rule... Nice to meet you!

Registered Democrats are slightly more likely to claim they are "independents" than people who are registered Republicans. In the 5-day, industry-standard poll, 80 percent of people who claimed to be Republicans were verified as actually being registered Republicans in a national voter information database. Among those found to be registered Democrats, only 76 percent said that they were Democrats.
9:12 am on Thursday, October 25, 2012
Hence the reason for a 4 party system - this way, you can have your extremists, and your moderates, and would actually see some sort of compromise.
Also interesting since surveys have shown most Americans are "social liberal fiscally conservative", yet have to vote for a candidate that is extreme in one aspect or another

The pundits in Israel, the United States and the West Bank have pretty much forecast the winner of Tuesday's Israeli national elections.
Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing political coalition with former Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman-- Likud Beitenu -- will prevail. He'll trot to the finish line in an easy horse race, analysts say, citing poll after poll.
But this is just the first stage in forging a new government. After the election for Knesset seats, the arduous government coalition-building begins.
That's not a horse race, It's a bit of "foreplay," as one newspaper put it, and hard-nosed political jockeying.
For now, the 34 parties running from the right, center, and left are maneuvering but digging in their ideological heels.
"The data projects not a more right-wing Knesset," said Michael Singh, managing director of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, "but a more polarized one."
Polls show that Netanyahu's party will get the most seats of any party in the Knesset, Israel's parliament, and his bloc will be the core of the predominantly Jewish state's new government.
The powerful bloc will attract a mainstream Israeli in a country many say is moving rightward.
They are anxious over anti-Israel Hamas adherents next door in Gaza, the chaos in nearby Syria and Egypt, and the nuclear machinations of their No. 1 foe -- Iran.
When Netanyahu declares "we are living in a dangerous neighborhood," that's a deeply felt message resonating for a critical mass of Israeli Jews, from the Negev to Netanya.

Francois Hollande defeated French President Nicolas Sarkozy in a presidential runoff Sunday, signaling a shift to the left as the country and Europe fight to dig out of a weak economy.
In a victory speech to supporters in Tulle, Hollande declared his win "a great date for our country, and a new start for Europe." The Socialist challenger promised to govern for all of France.
"Many people have been waiting for this moment for many long years. Others, younger, have never known such a time. ... I am proud to be capable to bring about hope again," he told the cheering crowd.
"Tonight, there are not two Frances. ... There is only one France, only one nation that is united with the same destiny," Hollande said.
The president-elect, who will be the nation's first left-wing president since Francois Mitterrand left office in 1995, suggested there was a sense of relief in many European countries because of his win.
"Austerity can no longer be something that is inevitable," he said.
Later, Hollande went to Paris, where he addressed a large crowd at the Bastille. Supporters waved flags and shouted his name.
"I know what many people feel -- years and years of wounds, of ruptures, and we have to repair, recover, unite. That is what we're going to do together," he vowed.
Hollande congratulated Sarkozy, who earlier conceded to Hollande as results from exit polls and official tallies in the runoff election came in.
"I carry the entire responsibility for this defeat, and I'm going to say why. I fought for the values of responsibility, and I'm not a man who does not accept his responsibilities," Sarkozy said from his Paris campaign headquarters, as members of the crowd shouted, "No!"

Personally, I had been on Effexor for 1 year and 10 months now, for depression and OCD. I was on a relatively low dose of 75mg and they worked like they should have; lower my anxiety enough so I could keep my focus. If I missed a pill, I'd start to get dizzy-spells and become apprehensive and unfocused after at least 6 hours of the missed pill.
About 2 months ago I started a weening process with my doctor to get me off of them, going down to 37.5mg. I didn't want to take it anymore because I now only ever felt apathy towards things I should have valued as important and felt I needed get my ass in gear and get motivated again. So it started out as one pill every two days for 2 weeks, then one every third day for a week and so on. Now it's been about 2 weeks without a pill and with very little withdrawals.
I'm happy that I'm almost completely off the damn things, but holy shit the first couple weeks were scary. Getting "zapped" with dizzy-spells and losing my train of thought every 5 minutes for a couple hours at a time was quite a disturbing experience, especially while driving and at my job (unloading trucks). I mean if you can't even walk in a straight line... but anyway, so far so good, hope I'll be "clean" by late January.
So, how about you guys?
Edit: almost forgot, my girlfriend has been on different anti-depressants for years now. Her withdrawals always resulted in panic attacks or uncontrollable sobbing. Some meds did nothing at all for her, even at the maximum dose, or turned her into an insomniac. Right now she's on Celexa, she was originally prescribed at 80mg, but then put down to 40mg because, apparently, 80mg and above is hazardous to your health (as in, can eventually kill you ). WAY TO GO, DOC! KILL MY GIRLFRIEND WHY DON'T YOU! But really, sometimes it almost seems like the shrinks she sees are using her like a guinea pig to test out the meds they push, considering how often they want her to switch.

EASLEY—A hot offense led by a veteran point guard propelled the Easley High boys' basketball team to its first win on Friday night.
The Green Wave, led by senior Troy McGowens who scored a game high 25 points, handled Pickens by a score of 78-60 in the season opener.
Easley's offense came out hot in the first quarter, fueling a 14-0 run that put the Blue Flame in a hole early. The Green Wave led by 29 points at one point in the second quarter, and held a 22 point lead at the break.
Pickens came storming back in the second half, however, cutting the Easley lead to just 12 after several three's hit their mark.
Jordan Stewart led the comeback effort for the Flame, burying three shots beyond the arch in the third period. Stewart, who is currently serving as Pickens' sixth man, led the team with 21 points.
The comeback would be all for nothing, as Easley surged ahead for an 18-point victory.
Along with McGowens' game-high, Alex and Matt Preston, Easley's twin threat from the outside, also had successful nights shooting the ball.
Alex Preston ended the game with 17 points, while Matt Preston finished with 15 points.
Easley took on Laurens Tuesday night at home, and will face the Blue Flame again on Thursday in Pickens.
Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m.

Steven Naismith and Steven Whittaker have turned down the transfer of their contracts to a newco Rangers and have become free agents.
In statements issued through their lawyers, the players said they have informed Sevco 5088, the company set up by Charles Green to form a new Rangers FC, that they now consider themselves to be unemployed.
Simon Catto, the solicitor dealing with the players' contracts, said: "Steven Naismith and Steven Whittaker are formally intimating their objection to becoming employed by the transferee In accordance with Regulations 4(7) and 4(9) of the TUPE Regulations.
"Accordingly, Steven Naismith and Steven Whittaker will not be attending for training or any other meeting next week and consider themselves to be under no contractual obligations to any party. They consider they are not employed by any party and are free to consider any employment options they wish."
Naismith, 25, who joined Rangers from Kilmarnock in 2007, said he made the "difficult decision" after talking with his family. The Scotland international said he took a 75% pay cut at the Ibrox club in the hope it would get out of administration through a CVA.
He said: "Both Steven and I and our agent fought hard with administrators during negotiations to insert clauses that offered protection to staff and players at the club. I am extremely proud of the actions we took but I am disappointed and angry that Rangers Football Club no longer exists in its original form.
"I would like to take this opportunity to thank Walter Smith, Ally McCoist, Kenny McDowall Ian Durrant, Jim Stewart and the rest of the backroom and medical staff and everyone that works at Ibrox and Murray Park for their support during my time at the club.
"Finally I would like to thank the fans for all their backing. Everyone knows I am a life-long Rangers supporter and so I share in the disappointment and anger of what has happened to the great Rangers Football Club."
Former Hibernian player Whittaker said he believed he had made the right decision after a long time thinking through his options.
The 28-year-old Scotland player said: "I will always have a great deal of affection for the supporters who have shown me great respect throughout my time at Ibrox, I will always be grateful for the support they have given me as a Rangers player.
"Whatever form the new club takes, I wish everyone connected with it the very best for the future."

Your children are the greatest joy that has been given to you, so why not start by saving up for them?
Open up a savings account for your kids as soon as they are born. Use money given as gifts from baby showers, holidays, birthdays, etc., and put it away for them.
You can teach them how they can put money away into their own home savings account by using a piggy bank. Once they are at an age to start earning an allowance for doing good deeds around the house, teach them to put a certain percentage away.
After they understand the concept of saving, put the money from their piggy bank into their already-established savings account. This also introduces your kids to the bank and how the institution works hard at investing their money.
Over time you can take the next step to teach them about how their money can make money by introducing them to a financial investment company. Don't you wish somebody had done the same for you when you were young?
Save, Save, Save!
Show your kids how much you spend per month on bills, food, gas and other necessities and what percentage you have left over to put away.
Financial experts say that you should put away at least 10 percent of whatever your paycheck is. Also tell them that some months may be tougher than others.
Take them shopping and show them how much groceries cost on an average trip or even how to save by buying the store brand instead of a high end brand. It's the same product and tastes great.
Another great way to show your kids how to get a bargain is by taking them to a local dollar store. There are many great items for a buck -- Kleenex, toothpaste, detergent, crackers and so on. When it comes time to check out, let them count out the money to pay the proper amount.

Trained technicians augment brake services with lifetime guarantees and curate healthy, evenly worn tires with rotations or replacements from Goodyear, Michelin, Firestone, and Bridgestone.

Meineke Car Care Center's mechanics perform an array of services, keeping rides running in showroom condition with tune-ups, 23-point inspections, tire rotations, and deep-tissue windshield massages.
Having opened nearly 900 locations in the United States since its inception in 1972, Meineke Car Care Center's steadfast staff revamps vehicles during a slew of automotive maintenance and repair services.

Depending on the location, punch cards may also feature tire rotations, brake inspections, engine-light readings, air-conditioning performance tests, and other repairs and inspections essential to a car's well-being. Customers can transfer the punch card's benefits to any ride, ranging from station wagons to sports cars to feral merry-go-round mounts.

Justin D. Price of Morgan City was found about 10 p.m. Thursday. Price was located by a search volunteer in the Flat Lake area, according to a news release from St. Mary Parish Sheriff Mark Hebert.
The St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office received a call around 8:30 p.m. regarding a missing boater. A boat belonging to Price was located adrift and unoccupied.
The St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office Water Patrol immediately began a search and rescue effort. Multiple agencies and volunteers launched over two dozen boats from the Russo Boat Landing to assist in the search.
Price was taken to Teche Regional Medical Center and treated for hypothermia. Price told detectives that he was out hunting when his boat became stuck on a sand bar. While Price attempted to warm up by building a fire, the boat drifted away with the rising water.
The St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Office, Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office, Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries, and Morgan City, Berwick, Bayou Vista and Amelia Volunteer Fire Departments, along with individual volunteers participated in the search that led Price's safe return.
The U.S. Coast Guard was also standing by ready to assist by helicopter had that step been necessary, the release stated.
The release also included the following boating safety tips:
—Boaters are reminded that weather conditions can change quickly and can be unforgiving this time of year when temperatures drop.
—Boaters should always be aware of conditions including tidal activity, wind and what time sunset occurs. Even the most experienced boaters are not immune to mishaps.
—Be sure to let someone know where you're going, when you're going and when you will return. Don't change the plan without letting that someone know.

In the context of the perpetual crisis of urban transportation in Bucharest, there is a growing population of city dwellers fighting for bicycle rights and advocating for a new, bicycle friendly infrastructure in Bucharest. The bicycle fans coagulated since the mid 2000's into different groups and NGO's and developed into a new movement and a powerful presence in the urban landscape, adopting several strategies of public participation.
1. Background
As of 2010, Portsmouth, New Hampshire (population 20,000) has sustained the practice of organized, public dialogue and deliberation for over ten years. Since 1999, diverse community groups in Portsmouth have organized at least six rounds of large-scale dialogue-to-action circles (study circles) initiatives. This case study provides brief descriptions of four of these initiatives from 1999 through 2004. Descriptions of Portsmouth's later public engagement initiatives will be added to this entry at a later date, or posted as separate entries.
